DANA POINT, Calif. -- Eagles coach Andy Reid talked to reporters this morning at the NFL owners meetings.
Here is Part 1 of the transcript from the interview:
(on his team) This is one thing I know. I can sit there – and I'd have to move some people here and there – but I can sit there and put together what I think is a championship-calibre football team. Now, do we need depth at certain spots? Absolutely. But I think we're one of the few teams where, if you said line up and play today, we could do that and be very, very competitive.
(is your left tackle on your roster right now?) I think I have a couple of guys who could play left tackle and be very good at it. Shawn (Andrews) and Todd (Herremans).
(which one would be your left tackle?) I don't know that yet. I'm just kind of juggling that around and seeing how everything lays out between the rest of free agency and the draft. We'll see. We'll see what happens. But if I had to line up, I could put either one of them there (at LT). I could put either one at guard. Stacy Andrews can play tackle or guard. And Jon Runyan's on the mend. So I don't what's going to happen with that situation.
(still possible Runyan will be re-signed?) We'll just see how it goes. I'm not saying yay or nay.
(moving Andrews and/or Herremans outside from guard) Shawn Andrews and Todd Herremans came here as tackles. Against their will, I moved them into guard. They want to be tackles. They bug me all the time about playing tackle. They would have no problem moving out to tackle if that's what happens.
(Herremans' play in '08) I thought Todd should've been in the Pro Bowl last year. I think that's the kind of football he played.
(state of your o-line right now) I know I've got enough guys (at o-line) to line up there and have a very successful offensive line. That's comforting.
(is getting a left tackle in the draft important?) I think I've got those guys here. Am I always looking for good offensive linemen? Yeah. But do I think I can go and play with what I've got and be very successful? Yeah. You've got to remember something. Even though he was a right tackle (at Arkansas), Shawn Andrews probably was the finest offensive tackle I'd ever seen come out of college football. I would have no problem putting Shawn or Todd (at left tackle). But because they don't have that (left tackle) label, because I put them at guard, that doesn't mean that's all they can do
(on the play of center Jamaal Jackson) I thought Jamaal did a pretty good job in the pass game. I think he can keep working on some stuff in the run game.
(do you want to find competition for him at center?) Nick Cole is pretty good competition. He came in (at right guard) and showed what he can do. That will make us take a good look at Nick (as a starting center candidate), I'm sure.
WESTBROOK and RUNNING BACKS
(how important is it to find a back in the draft to complement Westbrook?) We're keeping our eyes open for that. I like to have 2 or 3 running backs. So I will keep my eyes open for that spot.
(can Westbrook still be a carry-the-load back?) I think you need to supplement somebody else in there. But he can be your primary ballcarrier.
DONOVAN McNABB
(on Donovan McNabb) We sure like Donovan, obviously. We understand that from a player's standpoint, he's the face of the Philadelphia Eagles. We want to keep him at that position.
(on how much he's talked with McNabb since the end of the season) We talk all the time.
(any concern that he might not show up at minicamps if he doesn't get a contract extension) That (not showing up) isn't going to happen.
(How concerned would he be if McNabb didn't show up for minicamp?) Obviously, the quarterback position is very important. I'm always looking at the positive. The positive is, that (when a veteran doesn't show) the young guys get to work with the ones. The negative is that you sure want your starting quarterback there.
(if he didn't show up at minicamp, eagles fans would act like a nuclear bomb hit the city) I don't really care about that (fan reaction). Supposedly, we've already had a few nuclear bombs hit there. I just kind of move on and whoever that next guy is hops in. That's not saying I don't love having the best players there.
(are you confident he'll be at minicamp) Yes.
(on dawkins) He's a great person. Philadelphia saw Brian come in and grow up as a man. They were able to see his kids grow up. Brian left a legacy there that should put him in Canton.
(the reaction by fans to his departure) I understood that completely.
(your decision to bench McNabb last November) Things get blown up in Philadelphia. I understand that. So I put that equation out of my mind and can't worry about that part of it (fan and media reaction). I've got to do what's best for the football team. And honestly, in that situation, what I thought was best for Donovan. You never know how things are going to go. I could sit here and tell you, `Ah, I knew everything would work out like it did.' But you never know what's gonna happen in this game when you do things like that. But I felt like it had to happen. Donovan is the type of person that carries the world on his back. As a result of that, at times, people around him expect him to carry the world on his back. And they're not doing their jobs to their fullest. It's too much. Too much for one person to do. That's the point where this got to. It wasn't from Donovan not trying or doing anything wrong. No human can do what he was trying to do. We were leading the league in drops. We weren't playing great defense during that stretch. The offensive line was struggling. Everybody was having their thing. And to be honest with you, I wasn't coaching very good. Everybody needed to pick their game up. And that's kind of what happened after that.
I knew Donovan could handle the (benching) situation. That's why he's here. That's why I drafted him way back when. I knew he could handle these kinds of situations. And two, I know guys like him on the team and they won't ever let him sit on that bench very long. They will pick their game up and do what they're supposed to do and we'll become a football team again.
(Donovan's refusal to acknowledge he benefited from the benching) I completely understand. This wasn't Donovan coming over to me and saying he wanted to sit on the bench. That wasn't what it was. No player wants that. Especially a player that competitive in a game that close. That's not what he wants. But if that's what we needed as a football team, I don't mind being the bad guy. That's my responsibility to get the football team right.
(what would have happened if Kevin Kolb had lit it up in second half?) Donovan McNabb was going to be my quarterback the next week. Because I've been around the guy too long. Donovan was going to be the quarterback.
(on Kolb's frustration at looking at spending a third straight season on the bench as McNabb's backup) He's been a starter his whole life. He's just learning how the whole backup thing works. But that was a great learning experience coming into that (Baltimore) game. That (performance) wasn't Kevin Kolb. If you go back and look at the preseason game when he had a chance to play against New England's 1s after they'd just been chewed out by Bill Belichick and how well he played there, and look at the other opportunities he's had to come in. Kevin's going to be a good football player. It's just that Donovan's a good football player too, right now.
(could you and the team have handled the Dawkins' situation better?) There are certain ways you can do it. You can just release a player and do kind of like they did with Marvin Harrison in Indianapolis. Or you can actually try to get something done. Then if you lose him, then, you know what, you end up not being the good guy. But at the same time, in your heart, you know you tried to do something. Then you wish him the best of luck.
Brian, to me, will always be a Philadelphia Eagle. Brian should be able to walk into our office at any time, even if we're playing them, and shake everybody's hand and keep his high and know that he's left a special legacy in Philadelphia.
(difficulty in letting a player like Dawkins leave) This is the hardest part of the job from my standpoint. It's not an easy thing to do, not an easy thing to talk about. But that's part of this business. It's been part of this business forever. Since professional sports has been in business.
There's a good part about being a head coach for 10 years and there's a bad part. The bad part is you're starting to get on the edge of your players' careers. Then you have to make some tough, tough decisions. And that's not fun. There's nothing fun about it.
(your contact with Dawkins prior to him signing with Denver) I had talked to him a few times during the process.
(why couldn't you have said all you've said about Dawkins today when he signed with the Broncos?) It might've reduced the amount of criticism about the Eagles being a cold-hearted organization) A week later, Joe (Banner) talked about it. I just let it go there. That was enough. Listen, Brian deserves his due. There was no easy way to do this if you were going to continue to try to negotiate and bring him back. I thought Denver did a heck of a job. They gave him a tremendous contract. And more power to them. But there wasn't going to be an easy way of doing it. And then, I think it's very hard for me to bring in, who at that time was the top offensive line free agent (Stacy Andrews) and try to make it his day and then talk about Brian Dawkins. I will never do it. That's just not what I do.
(you could've taken questions on Dawkins after the Andrews' press conference) I guess I could've done a lot of things. But that was (Andrews') day and you let it go at that.

ISTANBUL, Turkey — We slipped out of Istanbul at dusk, gliding across the Bosporus strait toward the Aegean Sea, Asia on the left bank, Europe on the right, four masts towering 204 feet overhead, polished teak floors underfoot, the notes of Buddy Justineau's piano drifting out from the lounge: "You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh…"
The Bosporus, which connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, is the world's narrowest strait used for international navigation. It is magical at sunset, masted gullets heading to shore, minarets and Byzantine domes of Istanbul's Old City — once known as Constantinople — fading into the distance, huge cargo and cruise ships, lights aglow, silently making their way to far-off ports.
Our destination was Athens, by way of two port calls on the Turkish coast and three Greek isles. This is a land of legendary men and celebrated Greek and Roman civilizations with walled cities where people lived 6,000 years ago. Alexander the Great arrived in Ephesus, Turkey, in 334 B.C. Attila the Hun and Julius Caesar were there too.
So was the Apostle Paul. The Virgin Mary is said to have lived the last years of her life in Ephesus. The Gallipoli battlefields of World War I and the city of Troy, celebrated in Homer's epic poem "The lliad" also left their footprints in the history that would surround us for the next seven days.
History aside, what I quickly learned was that cruising by sail and motor, as I did on the Wind Star with 132 other guests, is a different experience from being swallowed up by a floating skyscraper with 3,000 or so passengers. There are, of course, a lot of choosy travelers who wouldn't be caught dead boarding an enormous cruise liner. And that's exactly whom Windstar designs its cruises for — people who dislike traditional cruising.
"The destination isn't the No. 1 thing," said passenger Hardur Karlsson, making his seventh Windstar cruise. "What matters is the people around you and the way you're traveling. On a small luxury ship such as the Wind Star, the service staff knows your name after two days, knows what you want to drink, whether you like coffee or tea, where you prefer to sit on deck."
By nightfall on the Bosporus, I had almost convinced myself I was on a private yacht. Everything was accessible. You want to go ashore with Zomie Concepcion, the Filipino executive chief, while he buys fresh sea bream for dinner? Just tag along. In his restaurant you dine when you choose and with whomever you choose. No need to enter in a herd to sit in assigned seats.
No need to bring a tuxedo or gown either. This is casual cruising without pretense. The only dress code is no jeans or T-shirts in the restaurant. Room service is available around the clock.
When I told friends at home that my wife, Sandy, and I were going to spend five days in September in Istanbul, then cruise the Aegean, I took note of how often security concerns were raised. Is Istanbul safe, they asked? What about pirates? I initially asked the same questions. The simple answer is no worries. Istanbul is a cosmopolitan, welcoming Islamic city with a population of 14 million, no graffiti, spotlessly clean streets, and tourists and ancient sites everywhere.
As for pirates, there were a lot of them on the Aegean 1,100 years ago. Julius Caesar was even said to have been kidnapped and ransomed there. When he learned the modest sum the pirates wanted for him, he was offended and insisted that they double the ransom demand. He joked with them during negotiations and said that after he was freed he would return and kill them all. He did, at least according to legend. But all that is in the distant past now. Pirates no longer prowl the Aegean.
Passengers lined Wind Star's starboard rail, cameras in hand, as we entered the Dardanelles, the 38-mile-long strait that leads to the Aegean. A Turkish submarine glided by, mostly submerged. Clearly visible was Gallipoli, where the Allies mounted a mighty invasion in World War I only to be beaten back by the Turks, suffering 20,000 casualties in one battle while advancing only half a mile.
We moved into the Aegean at 10 or 12 knots (about 11.5 to 13.8 mph), giant sails unfurled and snapping in the light breeze. The passengers appeared to be in relaxation mode, and everyone seemed to have a book in hand.
It didn't hurt the laid-back mood that there weren't any children on board. Adults rule the day on the Wind Star. I made plans to visit that evening what must surely be the world's smallest casino — 11 slot machines and two table games, one blackjack and one poker.
Ahead, on the west coast were Kusadasi and, beyond, Ephesus, a sight so grand that only Pompeii on Italy's Bay of Naples and Machu Picchu, Peru, seemed comparable. You can still walk the marbled streets that Antony and Cleopatra did when Ephesus had a population of 250,000 and was a center of culture, education and glorious architecture.
Earthquakes and destructive invaders led to the city's demise more than 1,000 years ago. But after 150 years of ongoing excavation, archaeologists have rebuilt, column by column, 16% of the city. Today Ephesus is Turkey's most popular tourist destination, attracting 5 million visitors a year.
I've never been happy as part of a mob disgorged from a giant cruise ship and moving through crowded tourist sites I may or may not care about. Wind Star's daily land excursions were different.
We were split into small groups. Our guides were consistently excellent and knew how to tell a story rather than just recite dates and the heights of castle towers. In Bodrum, Turkey, our host was deep-sea diver and archaeologist Don Frey, who had played a key role in the excavation of an 11th century shipwreck now on display at the Museum of Underwater Archaeology in Bodrum Castle.
The seas had been calm, the skies blue, for four days. We passed Wind Star's sister ship, Wind Star Spirit, headed in the opposite direction, to Istanbul. Tenders shuttled us to shore on the Greek island of Santorini. We rode donkeys or took a cable car to reach the high volcanic plateau across which the town of 10,000 is perched like a crow's nest.
That night, with Wind Star anchored in Santorini's harbor, chef Concepcion held his signature dinner — a lobster and roasted pig barbecue on deck under the stars. It was no surprise when a ship's officer told me the journey between Istanbul and Athens was Seattle-based Windstar Cruises' most popular cruise. The intimacy and ambience of a "small" masted ship — four decks, 360 feet in length, an international staff of 93 — were indeed hard to top.
"If I host a captain's table dinner for a dozen guests on a ship carrying 2,000 people, 1,988 people will feel slighted," Capt. Chris Norman said over dinner one night. "But if I host one on Wind Star, I've made a dozen guests happy. and that's about 10% of our passengers."
To which I'd add, "Spot-on. And another glass of wine, please."

Whether you're planning to pull a caravan, a trailer, a horse box, a boat or anything else, you need to do it safely and legally. Our guide to towing gives you all the information you need to get started and ensure your towing experience goes smoothly.
Towing has several impacts on driving that need to be understood in order to tow safely. From the effects on steering and braking to unique concerns such as "snaking", you'll find all the information you need here.
Reversing can be tricky when your towing. Our reversing guide aims to give you the main points your should be aware of when you need to reverse your towing vehicle.
At Mitsubishi our heritage in 4x4 cars and pickups is second to none and many of our cars can be used for towing, whether commercially or recreationally. Below you can see how our cars perform with:
It's almost always necessary to do your homework before setting off to tow something. You must ensure your vehicle is up to the task, know the law and how not to break it and take the time to practice driving with your load.
Ensure your vehicle can handle the trailer.
Every vehicle has a towing capacity that you must not exceed.
Check the Gross Trailer Weight (that's the trailer + the load)
against the manufacturer's stated Maximum Towing Capacity for your vehicle.
The engine of your vehicle also needs to be powerful enough to cope with the extra load, particularly when climbing hills.
In addition to the manufacturer's stated Max. Towing Capacity figures it is recommended that the weight to be towed should not exceed 85% of the "kerb weight" of the towing vehicle.The "kerb weight" is defined as the weight of the vehicle plus a full tank of petrol and 75kg.
The load must not project outside of the trailer as this can be very dangerous to other drivers and the stability of the trailer.
It's dangerous and illegal for the load to stick out beyond the edges of the trailer.
Distribute weight evenly as much as possible. Overloading one side or having excess weight toward the nose or tail of the trailer can seriously impact the stability of trailers.
Most trailers will have a stated "Recommended Nose Weight" which should be followed.
Unsecured loads can slide around causing a loss of stability, are likely to shoot forward when the brakes are applied and lighter items can even be lifted out of the trailer at higher speeds so make sure everything is as secure as possible.
Ensure that wheel axles are not overloaded.
There are strict guidelines on the transport of livestock that cover condition of the trailer that cover everything from condition to the number of available tethering points. You can find the full guide here.
The best advice is to have help. Two people can hitch a trailer easier than one, though you can do it by yourself. Trailers vary from model to model though most will attach in a standard way. Thoroughly read the manufacturers instructions prior to attempting to attach for the first time.

Republicans question security in immigration bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican senators criticized border security provisions in a new immigration bill Tuesday, arguing that the landmark legislation can't pass Congress unless the measures are strengthened.
"If in fact the American people can't trust that the border is controlled you're not going to be able to pass this bill," said Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. "You're going to have to do a lot more on border control."
Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., voiced similar concerns at a committee hearing to examine border security provisions of the bill, which is to face its first votes on Thursday before a different panel, the Judiciary Committee. Amendments are expected to be offered during the Judiciary session to boost the border provisions of the bill, which was introduced last month by four Democratic and four Republican senators.
One of the legislation's authors, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has already acknowledged that the bill will face a tough road to passage if the border security elements are not improved.
Paul, a tea party favorite who's voiced support for a comprehensive immigration overhaul, insisted his goal in raising questions about the bill is to make it better so it can pass not just the Democratic-controlled Senate but also the Republican-run House. He denied that he's out to oppose the bill or slow it down.
"I want to be constructive in making the bill strong enough that conservatives ... will vote for it," Paul said.
"If it's not any stronger than this I don't see it getting through the House," he said.
Echoing concerns raised by a number of Republicans, Paul said that the bill relies too much on setting goals and requiring studies about border security, instead of insisting on actual accomplishments. Under the bill, "You have to have a plan to build a fence, but you don't have to build a fence," he complained.
The bill allocates $5.5 billion for border measures aimed at achieving 100 percent surveillance of the entire border and blocking 90 percent of border crossers and would-be crossers in high-entrance areas.
The Homeland Security Department would have six months to create a new border security plan to achieve the 90 percent effectiveness rate. Also within six months, the department would have to create a plan to identify where new fencing is needed. Once that happens, people living here illegally could begin to apply for a provisional legal status.
If the 90 percent rate isn't achieved within five years, a commission made of border state officials would make recommendations on how to do it.
After 10 years, people with provisional legal status could apply for permanent residency if the new security and fencing plans are operating, a new mandatory employment verification system is in place, and a new electronic exit system is tracking who leaves the country.
Among other things, Rubio has discussed strengthening the "triggers" that require certain steps to be taken before a path to citizenship can begin.
Officials with the Department of Homeland Security testified Tuesday that the U.S.-Mexico border is more secure than ever but they said the provisions in the bill would help them make it even stronger. They praised the pending legislation for directing more resources to the agency for surveillance equipment and for authorizing 3,500 new Border Patrol officers.
The hearing touched briefly on the Boston Marathon bombings, which exposed some failures, including an apparent lack of communication among federal agencies when one of the alleged bombers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, traveled to Russia last year. A student from Kazakhstan accused of hiding evidence for one of the bombers also was allowed to return to the U.S. in January without a valid student visa.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., an author of the immigration bill, said the legislation could be amended to address any such problems. "There are some obvious areas on student visas and humanitarian visas that need to be looked at," he said.

Joey's Dystopia: 'Hunger Games' Camping Challenge!
Hey guys! In last week's episode of Joey's Dystopia I got to take archery lessons from the same woman who trained Jennifer Lawrence for The Hunger Games (no big deal!), and this week I'm taking my love for Hunger Games a step further! I brought the arena to L.A. and did a little camping challenge! I even got little parachutes sent to me! Lol! My first challenges were to fashion a cape for myself, then after that I had to make a fire with some Doritos! I don't think they had those in the arena! Lol!I even had to climb a tree and go fishing. OK, so I have to admit, I didn't complete every challenge (some were really hard! Lol!), so watch to see which ones I passed with flying colors! Oh and PS pay attention in the vid because there's an awesome giveaway!
Watch the video above and make sure you subscribe to Teen on YouTube so you don't miss any new episodes of Joey's Dystopia, every Tuesday at 5 PM EST/2 PM PST!

Project Description
This project will implement and validate a new granular stress model in Multiphase Flow with Interphase eXchanges (MFIX) while continuing to improve the model to capture more complex flow behavior. The proposed work consists of the following major goals. Goal 1: Implement in MFIX, the steady shear rheological model developed recently by the PI's group; perform MFIX simulations of various test problems such as hopper, chute, and Couette flows using this rheological model and no-slip and partial slip boundary conditions already available in MFIX; and compare against experimental and discrete element method (DEM) simulation data. Goal 2: Develop improved wall boundary conditions for the particle phase that can be applied in all three regimes of flow and implement them in MFIX. Examine the effect of refined boundary conditions on flow characteristics in the test problems mentioned in Goal 1. Goal 3: Further develop the rheological model to allow for dynamic evolution of the stresses, make appropriate modifications to the MFIX implementation, and conduct appropriate validation tests.
Project Benefits
This project will focus on using a combination of continuum simulations for model validation and discrete particle simulations for model refinement. These developments will enhance the ability to interrogate both dense and moderately dilute flow behavior in large-scale processes leading to better process design and reduced costs associated with scale-up of advanced technologies that include complex flow regimes.

Edward Snowden's renegade decision to reveal the jaw-dropping scope of the National Security Agency's electronic surveillance is being vindicated — even as Snowden himself is being vilified.
Intelligence officials in the Obama administration and their allies on Capitol Hill paint the fugitive analyst as nothing but a traitor who wants to harm the United States. Many of those same officials grudgingly acknowledge, however, that public debate about the NSA's domestic snooping is now unavoidable.

Epinephrine for Croup
Current as of: May 4, 2017
Find More Information on the Government of BC Website
The doctor may give your child epinephrine medicine to help open swollen breathing tubes if your child has moderate to severe croup. Epinephrine is given through a nebulizer. This process is called a breathing treatment.
One breathing treatment with epinephrine may be enough. But sometimes children with croup symptoms need a second treatment. Or they may need a different medicine to take later at home. Children will be watched in the doctor's office or emergency department for several hours after a breathing treatment with epinephrine. This is to make sure another treatment is not needed.

Commentary & Opinion
New York Times Editorial: "Prevention Remains Best Method to Stop Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission"
March 5, 2013
"If confirmed by further analysis," the case of a Mississippi infant being cured of HIV "would be the first time a person has been cured with simple drug treatments, making a lifetime of antiviral therapy unnecessary," a New York Times editorial states. Born to an HIV-positive mother who did not receive HIV treatment during her pregnancy, the newborn was aggressively treated for HIV infection beginning 30 hours after birth, but the mother stopped treatment after 18 months, the editorial notes, adding, "The baby, now two and a half years old, has been free of the active virus ever since." The editorial adds, "Although very sophisticated tests can find traces of the virus, it is not able to replicate and spread. This is described as a 'functional cure.'"
"Researchers must still demonstrate conclusively that the baby had truly been infected and was not simply prevented from absorbing its mother's infection -- a process achieved routinely in many babies," the New York Times writes, adding, "They must also show that this is not an exceptional, nonreplicable case with an atypical baby, but that the same treatment would work in other newborns." The editorial concludes, "If the stronger early treatment is confirmed to work, it could become the standard of care around the world. ... [But e]ven if the treatment works, the best defense against mother-to-child transmission is still prevention, which will always be preferable to treatment after an infection has set in" (3/4).

OK, the Mets have their closer. What's next? Just adding Francisco Rodriguez won't be enough. There's still need of adding another reliever as well as a starter.
Whom do you choose?
My thinking is they'll need to go after a starter first, which could translate into bringing back Oliver Perez. They have three starters as of now, with two questions in the back end of the rotation. Make it three questions if you're concerned about John Maine coming back from arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Patrick J. Buchanan: Why Congress is held in contempt
January 20. 2014 8:32PM
"I've got a pen," said President Obama recently.
"I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions ... that move the ball forward."
"When I can act on my own without Congress, I'm going to do so," the President added later at North Carolina State.
Thus did Obama signal that he will bypass Congress and use his executive powers to advance his agenda of national transformation.
This dismissal of Congress has gone almost unprotested. In an earlier age it might have evoked talk of impeachment. But not now. For though Congress may be the first branch of government in the Constitution, with the longest list of enumerated powers in Article 1, its eclipse has been extraordinary.
Congressional powers have eroded or been surrendered. Congress boasts a 13 percent approval, a surge from its all-time low of 9 percent last fall before the budget deal.
While ex-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates expressed disappointment in Obama and Hillary Clinton in his book "Duty," and was dismissive of Joe Biden, his view of Congress dripped with venom: "Uncivil, incompetent in fulfilling basic constitutional responsibilities (such as timely appropriations), micromanagerial, parochial, hypocritical, egotistical, thin-skinned, often putting self (and reelection) before country — this was my view of the majority of the United States Congress."
At Congressional hearings, Gates says he was "exceptionally offended by the constant, adversarial, inquisition-like treatment," and lines of inquiry that were "rude, insulting, belittling, bullying, and all too often personal."
Admirers of Obama, Hillary and Biden have all come forward to defend them. Where are the defenders of Congress from this searing indictment by Gates? Almost nowhere.
What happened to Congress? Not so long ago, school children were taught more about Sens. Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun and Daniel Webster than many of the Presidents of that pre-Civil War era.
High among the causes of Congress' decline has surely been the loss or surrender of its constitutional powers — to Presidents, the Supreme Court and a federal bureaucracy Congress itself created. Consider this. Under Article 1, Congress is entrusted with the power to "regulate commerce with foreign nations." With the exception of slavery, there was not a more divisive issue before the Civil War than the tariff question. In the Jacksonian era, South Carolina almost seceded over the tariff, and Andrew Jackson threatened an invasion.
Today, Congress first surrendered to the executive the authority to negotiate trade deals, and then passed fast track, denying itself the right to amend those treaties. Congress has restricted itself to a yes or no vote on what the executive negotiates.
The transnational corporations that finance campaigns are delighted.
Congress was granted the power to "coin money" and "regulate the value thereof." But in 1913, Congress transferred that power to the Federal Reserve. With the Fed as its steward, the dollar's purchasing power had fallen to that of a couple of pennies in 1913. And the Fed was responsible for the stock market bubble that bought on the Great Crash of 1929 and Great Depression, and the real estate and stock market bubbles that brought on our own Great Recession.
Yet, the Fed is untouchable.
Though Congress was granted exclusive power "to declare war," our last declared war was in 1941.
Obama today draws "red lines" and tells nations not to cross them or we bomb, and announces to the world that, in dealing with Iran, "all options are on the table," meaning war.
While Congress was granted the power in the Constitution to restrict the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, that court has been on an ideological tear, remaking America without a nod to Congress. Congress often complained, but almost always did nothing.
Sundered by party and ideology, with 535 members, and rules and regulations that inhibit decisions and impede action, Congress appears a 19th-century anachronism at sea in a 21st-century world. Who looks to Congress today as the bulwark of our liberties?
Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of "Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?"

Do any of you remember the JELL-O Pudding Pops from the 80s? I loved those as a kid because the camp my dad ran procured them by the crate. I used to slip into the walk-in cooler for a pudding pop whenever the fancy struck. Less present, but equally loved, were the JELL-O Gelatin Pops.
Fruity, icy, and no drip, the pops seemed almost like they were whipped before they were frozen. I got it in my head the other day that I wanted these and since they're no longer on the market, I made my own! I busted out my KNOX Unflavored Gelatine a bottle of Cran-Raspberry Juice, a wee bit of sugar, and my trusty stand mixer and Vie-Oh-Lee! We had Whipped Fruit Ice Pops. Super smart snacking for summer, I'd say, wouldn't you?
They're a little crazy looking, but I can explain! I wanted my ice pops to have the same consistency that I remembered so I made classic KNOX Unflavored Gelatine blocks, chilled 'em until they were as firm as they should be, cut the stuff into small cubes, then beat the tar out of it all with my stand mixer. It got fluffy and airy and looked a little like I had whipped cream into it. That was fun and a little gross looking, honestly, but it made filling the ice pop molds evenly a bit of a challenge. It doesn't affect the overall ability of the stuff (technical term) to freeze together coherently, but it looks a little irregular. I think it lends to the charm.
If you're anxious to make some of this and don't have ice pop molds, or if you want to be a bit more sophisticated and grown up about the whole thing, you could always scrape the whipped gelatin into a non-stick spritzed 9- by 13-inch baking dish and cover the lot with plastic wrap before freezing. After it's solid, use a spatula to pry it out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Slice into small squares or punch into small circles with a round cookie cutter. Top it with berries and serve that like you're Madame Fancy-Pants.
When it's not Dr. Seuss-y looking on a stick, it's surprisingly sophisticated. Gelatin WAS the dessert of kings and queens for ages, after all. This is a no-bake dessert that'll keep everyone happy (including the cook!) This would be fantastic for the 4th of July! Do you need more no-bake desserts and sides? Be sure to check out Recipes by KraftRecipes.com for some fun summer help and more smart snacking ideas!
Airy, fruity and refreshing, these Whipped Fruit Ice Pops are made from three simple ingredients. If you're feeling more sophisticated than popsicles, though, you can freeze the mixture in a pan, cut shapes from it, and serve topped with fresh berries!
Whipped Fruit Ice Pops
1 package (4 envelopes) KNOX Unflavored Gelatine
4 cups unsweetened fruit juice (We like Cran-Raspberry and Grape the best.), separated
¼ cup sugar or honey
Also handy
Non-stick cooking spray
Popsicle molds or paper cups with popsicle sticks
Berries (if serving cut into shapes rather than in ice pop molds.)
Pour 1 cup of the fruit juice into a heat-proof 2 quart dish. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top and let it sit, undisturbed, for 1 minute.
Stir the remaining juice and sugar or honey together in a heavy pan over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the juice is simmering. Pour the hot juice over the gelatin in the bowl and whisk gently until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Spritz a cake pan with non-stick cooking spray, pour the hot juice mixture into the pan and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.
Cut the firm gelatin into small cubes and scrape them into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or into a sturdy, large mixing bowl (if using a hand-mixer). Slowly start beating the gelatin (because little bits will want to jump out of the bowl and fly everywhere if you start on high speed) and work your way up to high speed. Beat the gelatin until it has been broken up into very small bits and looks almost creamy. This will take about 15 minutes.
If Making Ice Pops:
Lightly spritz the insides of ice pop molds or paper cups with non-stick cooking spray to make them easier to remove once frozen. Use two spoons to fill the ice pop molds. Drop the sticks into the center of each mold or cup and freeze until solid. These are good for up to a month in the freezer.
If Making Whipped Fruit Gelatin to Serve on Plates:
Lightly spritz a 9- by 13-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. Scrape the whipped gelatin into the prepared pan and use a silicone or rubber spatula to evenly distribute it and smooth the surface. Lay plastic wrap directly on the surface of the gelatin and freeze until solid, about 5 hours. Remove the plastic wrap and use a spatula to pry the frozen slab of whipped gelatin out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares or a round cutter to punch out circles. Serve immediately topped with fresh berries.

I'll lower the auto deploy regions to 3, and the grass to 8.
I'll also allow the lord of the flies to bombard the cow pat, so in a fog of war game it will allow the lord of the flies to see what's going on in the pat.
I've thought about it and I'm considering another idea from greenoaks who suggest the Tongue (Mouth) should be able to attack the grass. This would allow back doors into most of small bonuses accept the tail. If the tongue can attack the grass I would most likely make it a two way thing, so if you take the grass you can go to either of the legs or the tongue.
I plan to post a new version tomorrow in the drafting room, and apply for a super size sticker tomorrow.
I'd be interested to know what people think about the added tongue and fly options?

Sony restores online VoD shop Qriocity
Normal service resumed?
Sony will reactivate its Qriocity video- and music-on-demand services today following their post PSN-hack 20 April shutdown.
The services will resume in all countries in which they had already been launched, with the exception of Japan. There the service will remain deactivated. Sony didn't say when it might return.
Qriocity is not only available through Sony's games hardware but also its internet-connectable Bravia TVs and Vaio PCs. The service launched in the UK in November 2010.
Tied to the PlayStation Network, Qriocity was inevitably affected when Sony shut PSN down after it discovered that hackers had got in and nicked users' names and passwords. ®

5:55:38 PMThe courthouse in support of Tsarnaev.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the alleged Boston Marathon bomber, made his first public appearance since the April 15 attack Wednesday in a federal court room and pleaded not guilty to a sweeping terrorism indictment that carries the possibility of the death penalty.
With 30 bombing victims in the courtroom, some wearing the Boston Marathon gear, Tsarnaev entered "not guilty" pleas in a thick accent seven times to groups of charges including using a weapon of mass destruction.
His attorney,
Judy Clarke, sought to enter the pleas on his behalf, but US Magistrate Judge Marianne B. Bowler ordered Tsarnaev to answer himself. The judge also indicated that any victims had the opportunity to speak at the brief hearing, but no one did.
Seeming indifferent to the proceedings, Tsarnaev wore an orange prison jumpsuit with the top unbuttoned, and a black T-shirt underneath. His hair was shaggy, consistent with the photos that were released at the time of the bombings.
His face appeared distorted at times as he fidgeted in his seat. There was a visible scar just below his throat, possibly the result of being shot by police, and he was wearing what appeared to be a cast on his left arm.
Tsarnaev became attentive when he looked toward two women sitting in the courtroom, one of whom was weeping while the other held a small child, during the seven minute hearing. As he was being escorted out of the courtroom with cuffs on his hands and feet, Tsarnaev blew a kiss towards the women.
In court, Assistant US Attorney William Weinreb read the charges out loud, saying "The maximum penalty is up to life in prison or the death penalty."
Tsarnaev's appearance was the first time he has been seen in public since he was captured April 19 hiding in a boat in the backyard of a Watertown home, an arrest that brought an end to a wave of terror that included the Marathon bombings, the murder of MIT Police Officer Sean Collier and the shutdown of Greater Boston as police sought the terror suspects.
MIT Police Chief John DiFava, who gave a stirring speech about Collier during an MIT memorial service, was blunt about his feelings toward Tsarnaev.
"I'd like to grab him by the throat,'' said DiFava.
Boston Police Superintendent-in-Chief Daniel Linskey was more diplomatic. "It's our system in motion,'' he said. "The wheels are now turning."
Liz Norden, a Wakefield mother with two sons who each lost a leg, was disturbed listening to the sobs of one of Tsarnaev's sisters. "Hearing his sister cry made me angry," she said outside the courtroom. "Look at what he caused. How dare they cry and look at what he did to all these people."
Seated in the courtroom were about a dozen people who had rallied outside the Joseph Moakley Courthouse today, insisting the man they call "Jahar'' is wrongly accused of setting off two bombs on April 15, killing three people and wounding 260 others.
Members of the high school wrestling team Tsarnaev captained during his senior year at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School were also on hand.
The brief arraignment closed a chaotic day at the courthouse in which scores of people rushed for a glimpse of the teenaged suspect. Tsarnaev had been escorted earlier Wednesday by a Humvee filled with heavily armed law enforcement officers in a white prison van that rushed past about a dozen people who shouted encouragement to the alleged Islamic terrorist.
Some of the supporters started chanting — "Justice for Dzhokhar'' and "Give him his freedom back'' — as the motorcade took Tsarnaev into the courthouse.
Tsarnaev, a former University of Massachusetts Dartmouth student, is due back in court Sept. 23.
His older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev , the alleged mastermind of the bombings, died after the confrontation with police in Watertown.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is charged with use of a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death and the bombing of a place of public use resulting in death. Authorities allege that the 19-year-old was inspired by Al Qaeda publications and that he left a confession in the boat justifying the bombings as payback for US military action in Muslim countries.
Seventeen of the charges carry the possibility of the death penalty, which hasn't been applied in Massachusetts in 66 years and has been banned here for state cases since 1984. But because Tsarnaev is charged under federal law, he could face death for his alleged crimes.
The other charges against Tsarnaev carry the possibility of life in prison.
According to the indictment, released last month, Tsarnaev allegedly wrote a confession in the boat that acknowledged "it is forbidden" in Islam to kill innocent people. But prosecutors say he justified his actions because the "US government is killing our innocent civilians."
"I can't stand to see such evil go unpunished," he allegedly wrote. "We Muslims are one body; you hurt one, you hurt us all. Stop killing our innocent people, we will stop."
The indictment alleges that sometime before the bombings, Tsarnaev downloaded extremist Islamic propaganda from the Internet, including material that directed Muslims against giving their allegiance to governments that invade Muslim lands and writings by Anwar al-Awlakicq, the American citizen who became a senior operative in Al Qaeda's branch in Yemen and who was killed in a 2011 drone strike.
At a press conference last month, US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz said it would be up to US Attorney General Eric Holder whether to seek the death penalty.
The federal charges also include malicious destruction of property resulting in death, and conspiring to do those crimes, as well as use of a firearm during and in relation to a violent crime, and carjacking resulting in serious injury, federal prosecutors said.
Tsarnaev was hospitalized at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center after his capture on April 19.

This is a farmer's soup recipe made with sweet white corn, poblano peppers, and not much else! Just as it should be at this point in time…with farm-fresh corn popping up everywhere. The soup is an excellent showcase for the corn as the starring attraction. It can be eaten hot, luke-warm or cold, and is one quick soup to make.
The soup is made with corn kernels cut right from the cob, chicken broth and a few cobs to enrich the stock even further with corn-y flavor. I used mostly all white corn with a few yellow ears mixed in. The soup is simmered for 10 – 15 minutes and pureed. It's up to you how smooth you want to make it. I left about 1/3 of the kernels whole to add some body and texture to the soup to serve as a main dish.
I made the poblano cream with a pepper plucked right from my garden. First the pepper is roasted under the broiler to heighten and bring out its natural smokey heat. It causes the flavor of the pepper to pop. Then it's pureed with a small bit of broth and cream to make a spicy sauce to spoon over top of the soup.
Summer-time comfort food doesn't get any better than this! The intense flavor of corn hits your mouth in an explosion of flavor; extra creamy and super sweet with a hit of earthy heat from the poblano cream that assaults your tongue at the last moment. Completely delicious.
I'm sending this to my lovely friend Deb of Kahakai Kitchen for her Souper (Soup, Salad or Sammie) Sundays Round-up!
And to my friend Chaya over at My Sweet and Savory for Meatless Mondays.

I've mostly taken a bit of time off to enjoy Thanksgiving with the family. I hope you're doing the same and enjoying the start of the holidays.
For those of you still grinding away, I thought I'd throw out a thought that one of my readers told me in an email discussion we were having. They suggested that at some point they believed that the HIE (Health Information Exchange) would be a way to get new patients. They admitted that it wasn't the original intent of the HIE, but was still a likely outcome.
I've been thinking quite a bit lately about how to drive new patients to a doctors office for my new Physia venture. Although, I have to admit that I hadn't been thinking about HIE as a way to get new patients. I'll be chewing on that a little bit this holiday weekend. I'd love to hear other non-traditional ways you're using to find new patients.

The Elmore Method

June 11, 2015
I bought my copy when it first came out and have used the Couch Lizard pattern many times! The instructions do take a bit of patience to figure out, but very worth the effort!
September 24, 2014
The instructions are very difficult to follow. I found myself "translating" to common terminology and even then not really following along. Wish I had read reviews before I purchased.
September 18, 2014
Like others, I feel there should have been more illustrations on how to make each stitch is made. I am glad I read the review because I was beginning to think that I had a problem in comprehension. I am a visual person. If I can see how something is done, I can duplicate it. But to try to follow from dubious terms is not easy to me. The application is probably excellent once one learns or figures out how to apply it. It would have been more helpful if both "old" and "Elmore" stitches were demonstrated together, so the difference can be seen. Overall it is still a good book once the stitches are mastered. A video would indeed be very helpful is demonstrating how each stitch is made.

This book was published in 1991, and is supposed to save you time and money. I have found some of the stitches in online tutorials, but I don't see how they save time or money on yarn. I have been crocheting for 48 years, and plan to keep on with the typical stitches and tried-and-true old methods out there.

This item should come with a warning that he uses the pencil grip as opposed to the knife grip. He also uses an old fashioned method of holding the yarn. In addition he uses his own terminology instead of common terms, which may cause a lot of confusion. I agree more pictures of the stitches would help, especially with his using of his own terms. I do like his granny square corners using the Tower Pattern and piggyback stitches.

Question: Another car got hit from behind, lost control, flipped over and landed on top of my car. Everyone got out safely and then both cars caught fire and are a total loss. Neither of us had collision or comprehensive coverage and the other driver's insurer says they won't pay me because the third car (that took off) was at-fault. How is this possible? Her car is the one that did the damage to mine.
Continue Reading Below
Answer: Insurance companies only pay for what their insured policyholder is legally liable for, and, in this case, hers is saying she has no liability. Unless there is some evidence that she was negligent, the insurer is correct.
You have a right to be frustrated since you were involved in a pretty scary auto accident that left your car in flames and a total loss. Now you find that you have no recourse against the only other known party.
If she were at-fault (for instance, she had run a red light), then normally you would have been able to make claims against her liability coverages - bodily injury for any injuries sustained and property damage for the damages your vehicle sustained. But neither one of you caused the accident. The other driver is as much a victim as you are; without collision or comprehensive coverage, she won't be seeing any checks from her insurance company, either.
If the at-fault driver had actually stayed, then you and the driver of the car that ended up on top of your car would both probably be fighting over how much of the responsible party's liability insurance limits each of you would receive (if the person didn't have high enough limits to pay for both of your damages in full, which is quite likely given that two cars were totaled).
With neither of the other drivers' insurance policies available, the only coverage that would pay for your car is a collision policy of your own. To pay for your hospital bills, you would need personal injury protection or medical payments. You may also be covered under uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage since in many states this also covers injuries resulting from a hit-and-run accident.
Some states require that you carry uninsured motorist coverages as part of your state minimum auto insurance coverages. Check your policy to find out if you have these coverages and see if you can make a claim.

WASHINGTON — Before the Good News Singers took the stage Sunday evening in Washington, the group's director, Chuck Hicks, spoke to more than 150 people in the audience.
"We came here because we're from Arkansas," Hicks said. "That's where tornadoes live. We've had in the last three years several experiences like yours. We know what those sirens sound like. And we know what it looks like to walk down the street and see nothing where there used to be something."
The Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort (CCDRE) in central Illinois organized the concert at the Countryside Banquet Facility from the Good News Singers, a group of students from Harding University in Searcy, Ark., who perform uplifting, spiritual songs a capella. Bryan Reeves, the director of the CCDRE, has been friends with Hicks for years, and the two hatched the concert idea as a diversion for tornado-affected families in central Illinois.
"I've known Chuck for 40 years or so," Reeves said. "He has brought the Good News Singers to the Eureka Church of Christ before. I said, 'Chuck, can you help with the relief work?'"
The students are on spring break and have toured the Midwest during their week off. Hicks said concerts in Davenport, Iowa, were already scheduled and a quick jaunt to Washington was easy to plan.
"We'll do whatever we can as far as lifting spirits and encouraging people because that's what we want to do," Hicks said. "We can't do much. We sing. There's not a whole lot we can do, but some people think it's pretty cool."
The students will tour some of the devastation Monday morning before another performance for a local nursing home. Up until Sunday, all that he and the students have seen were news reports and pictures on Facebook, he said.
Before the Good News Singers performance, Reeves took a moment to honor the handful of people in attendance whose homes were affected by the tornado. He also had the volunteers from the Churches of Christ in central Illinois stand to be recognized for their ongoing tornado relief efforts over the past four months. Phillip Booker, a Eureka Church of Christ member and resident of Roanoke, brought his family to the concert to support some of his fellow church members that lost their homes.
"We came to enjoy the family event but also to help in any way for those affected," Booker said. "We were fortunate that our house wasn't damaged, but we know some people from our church that did."

Police say they've caught the suspect responsible for kidnapping a woman and her children before he sexually assaulted the mother of two.
According to a BPD press release, Dijon V. Cooper, 20, of Beaumont, was detained Friday, Sept. 20 for a Sept. 11 aggravated kidnapping that began at the Elmo Willard Library on East Lucas Drive in Beaumont. Police say that's when Cooper abducted a 36-year-old female who was just leaving the library with her newborn and 1-year-old child.
According to the press release, as she approached her vehicle after exiting the library, Cooper confronted her and forced her and her children into the car and made the woman drive to the 700 block of East Lucas where he threatened her with a weapon while sexually assaulting her.
After the assault, the woman was able to flag down a road crew who scared the suspect away when the victim began screaming at them for help.
Later, police would rely on a confidential informant who led police to Cooper as the suspect in this case, and detectives were able to elicit statements from Cooper that implicated him in the kidnapping and sexual assault, according to BPD spokesman Rob Flores.
Police were sure to give credit to the confidential informant who tipped police off, what police described in their press release as a "good citizen" who was crucial in bringing Cooper to justice.
Cooper has been booked in the Jefferson County Jail where he awaits trial on four charges, each with a $100,000 bonds: one charge of aggravated sexual assault and three for aggravated kidnapping.

2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Reviews and Ratings

My Rating
My Review
Expert Reviews ( 1 )
Acclaimed for its smart styling, solid build quality and higher-end features found normally on more expensive marques, the Hyundai Genesis sedan has been a darling of automotive experts since it hit the U.S. market in 2008. And consumers seem to agree. Sales of the midsize four-door have been increasing every year since its introduction as a 2009 model. Many Genesis buyers are new to the Hyundai brand, abandoning more established makes and spawning more than one biblically inspired aphorism of how Genesis begets exodus.
The 2012 Hyundai Genesis gets refreshed front and rear fascia including tweaked headlamps and bumpers, a revised front grille and an integrated exhaust design, along with more upscale-looking exterior trim. New for 2012 are heated rear seats and a lane departure warning system, both included in the optional Technology Package.
Most significantly, the 2012 Genesis boasts new, more powerful and more efficient powertrains, including three gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines and Hyundai's first proprietary 8-speed automatic transmission.
Most 2012 Genesis models come with the base 333-horsepower 3.8-liter V6. For those who want more oomph, a 4.6-liter V8 version available in one nicely equipped trim level will get you a satisfying 378 hp.
Enthusiasts will salivate over the new 5.0-liter Genesis R-Spec for 2012, which cranks out a class-competitive 429 hp and 376 pound-feet of torque capable of a 0-60 mph time in just over five seconds, while still achieving a respectable estimated 25 mpg highway rating. The 2012 Hyundai R-Spec also gets a sport-tuned suspension, steering and transmission along with19-inch alloy wheels and unique headlamp trim.
In keeping true to its passion for drivetrain advancement, Hyundai's new 8-speed transmission with manual shifting capability (dubbed Shiftronic) was developed fully in-house. More gears, in addition to other features including skip-shift technology, help to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. Purists will bemoan the lack of a manual gearbox on any 2012 Genesis models.
Hyundai would like us to believe the 2012 Genesis sedan competes head-to-head with midsize luxury four-doors such as the BMW 5-Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. And while the Genesis sedan offers superb value over these German mainstays, it might be a tough sell for the badge-conscious. Plus, those who live in snowy climes might leave the Genesis off their lists for lack of a four-wheel-drive version. The V6-powered Genesis is best compared with midsize sedans such as the Chrysler 300 and Buick LaCrosse. Features and performance, however, are on par with luxury models like Lexus GS, Lincoln MKS and Cadillac CTS. The 5.0 R-Spec proves to be a good contender with the likes of the Infiniti M56S, but with a much lower sticker price.
Also compelling is Hyundai's Assurance trade-in value guarantee, which assigns a future value to a vehicle at the time of purchase, based on a 24- to 48-month time frame. This guaranteed value can then be applied to a future Hyundai trade-in, as long as it's within the 24- to 48-month period. Even if the car is worth more than projected at the time of trade-in, the customer gets the higher amount.
Whether it's a true luxury car in the minds of buyers, the 2012 Hyundai Genesis in all its incarnations remains a top choice, both on paper and on the road.Model Lineup
The 2012 Hyundai Genesis rear-wheel-drive sedan seats five passengers and is available in three trim levels. The name of each model corresponds to its engine displacement.
Genesis 3.8 ($34,200) comes standard with leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, automatic headlights, fog lights, heated power outside mirrors, auto-dimming rearview mirror, power accessories, power heated front seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel with tilt function, steering wheel-mounted controls, cruise control, Bluetooth handsfree phone system, seven-speaker audio with CD player, satellite radio capability and USB, iPod and auxiliary connectivity, 17-inch alloy wheels.
Options for the 2012 Genesis 3.8 are rolled into two packages: The Premium Package ($4,800) upgrades to 18-inch alloy wheels and adds a glass sunroof, power-folding outside mirrors, rearview camera, rain sensing wipers with auto defogger windshield, power rear sunshade, power tilt and telescoping steering wheels, leather dash and door trim, and navigation with 7-inch display and real-time traffic capability, as well as a premium Lexicon 14-speaker audio system with surround sound. The Technology Package ($4,000) adds adaptive HID Xenon headlights, front and rear park assist systems, lane departure warning system, smart cruise control, an electronic parking brake, upgraded leather upholstery, ventilated driver's seat, heated rear seats, navigation system with 8-inch display and a 17-speaker Lexicon audio system with HD radio and 6-disc CD changer.
Genesis 4.6 ($44,500) includes the features in the Technology Package plus auto-dimming outside mirrors, chrome lower body side moldings, electro-hydraulic power steering and a wood-trimmed leather steering wheel.
Genesis R-Spec ($46,500) includes 19-inch alloy wheels plus all the features found on the 4.6 trim. The trim is further differentiated with unique headlamps with dark chrome inserts and R-Spec badging inside and out. The woodgrain steering wheel found on the 4.6 is deleted in favor of an all-leather version.
Safety features on all 2012 Hyundai Genesis sedans include eight airbags including front and rear seat-mounted side-impact bags and side-curtain airbags, electronic active front head restraints, four-wheel, anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control.Walkaround
Surprisingly good looks set the Hyundai Genesis apart from its more affordable competitors. Fluid body lines and styling cues are reminiscent of higher-end luxury lines, yet remain distinctive.
For 2012, exterior tweaks on the Genesis sedan are subtle, but effective. Hyundai jumps on the bandwagon with other luxury car makers by adding integrated LED accent lights (a la Audi), as well as a revised wraparound headlamp design. A modified front bumper sports a new air intake, while the redesigned front grille incorporates cleaner, straighter lines.
On the sides, a darker trim around windows aims to convey a more upscale feel, while more prominent rocker panels give a slightly more assertive look. New side mirrors are reshaped and now include a power-folding feature and integrated puddle lamps.
In back, wraparound tail lights are more pronounced and the rear bumper features and integrated rear exhaust design, which lends a seamless, attractive appearance.Interior
The cabin of the 2012 Hyundai Genesis sedan is elegant and tastefully executed. We took a Genesis 3.8 model for a spin in the Nevada desert and found the leather seats to be supportive and supple. Other leather trim, such as the wraparound two-tone dash gives the interior just the right touch of luxe. However, the wood grain trim looks more plastic than posh, especially around the doors.
The LCD gauges are bright and sharp, and are pleasing on the eye. Center stack controls are large and easy to read. Despite numerous buttons, layout is intuitive for the most part, although it takes a while to find certain functions. The mode button for the climate control, for example, is on the opposite side of the stack from the other HVAC buttons, which left us momentarily grasping at vents to direct cool air onto our feet in blazing 103-degree heat. Dual climate control worked nicely and the cooled, ventilated driver seat was a Godsend in the hot sun, although our front passenger was understandably put off that the feature was not included on both seats.
Due to the myriad buttons and knobs, there isn't much center storage space. Curiously, the small compartment between the shift lever and the center stack is dedicated to an ashtray and cigarette lighter, perhaps designed for the Asian market, since many U.S.-bound vehicles have long abandoned these (or make them available in a separate smoker's package). Using Hyundai's navigation system is less time-consuming than others on the market, although one passenger found it faster to punch up our destination on a Google Maps-powered smartphone.
Visibility is good, thanks to a large rear window, well designed side mirrors and minimally invasive B- and C-pillars. Front head- and legroom were more than adequate for drivers and passengers ranging from petite to tall, but in back, the head of one six-foot passenger nearly grazed the headliner while sitting behind the driver. And because the center seat is slightly raised, it's not an option for taller riders. Rear legroom is plentiful, as long as the front seats aren't all the way back.
Unlike many of its competitors, the 2012 Hyundai Genesis doesn't offer folding split rear seats, only a pass-through slot. Trunk space is average for the segment at 15.9 cubic feet.Driving Impressions
The 2012 Hyundai Genesis sedan strikes a good balance between comfortable and responsive. With the Genesis 3.8 tuned to the more luxurious side, it's a good highway cruiser without feeling too billowy. The cabin is remarkably quiet, although rough roads do yield some noise and vibration. Handling in the Genesis 3.8 has the edge over the somewhat boaty Chrysler 300 and Lexus ES. Brakes are responsive and stop the car with confidence.
Acceleration in the Genesis 3.8 is smooth and satisfying, but it won't leave you breathless. The 8-speed transmission does an admirable job staying efficient while offering up adequate power. Not too long ago, that many gears would have seemed preposterous, but in the days of mandated fuel economy standards, automakers seem keen on ever increasing gear span in hopes to eek out an extra mpg or two (which usually means cruising at pitifully low rpm). Yet, in this case, Hyundai seems to have done a pretty good job with the power curve, keeping torque readily available at low engine speeds.
Moving from the 3.8 V6 to the 5.0 R-Spec V8 is a little like checking out of the Hilton and into the Mandarin Oriental. The former is perfectly nice, but the top-of-the line model makes us wish we could linger just a bit longer. And order room service. Acceleration is smooth as silk, and gears shift at higher rpm for and extra power boost. The sport suspension makes the Genesis sedan more agile around corners and lessens body roll at turn-in.
Fuel economy for the Genesis 3.8 is an EPA-estimated 19/29 mpg City/Highway on Regular gasoline. Genesis 4.6 and 5.0 R-Spec are both rated 17/26 mpg on Premium gas.Summary
For those who can look past the H-shaped logo, the 2012 Hyundai Genesis remains a stylish choice that remains a great value for the money when compared with its more established luxury rivals. Its confident and able handling, bevy of comfortable features and a solid trade-in value guarantee keep it a top contender in the midsize sedan segment.
