KSP News:
Strong Wind Graces Day 8 Of The Hookipa Kite Surf Pro Maui
Kahului, Hawaii – December 6, 2012: The Ho'okipa Kite Surf Pro saw strong side-offshore winds and consistent head high surf today on day 8 of the 10-day holding period. Men's and women's round 1 was completed as well as 7 heats of men's round 2.
In a 10AM rider's meeting, contest directors officially announced the implementation of the KSP's alternate "short dingle elimination" ladder. Used for the first time in a KSP competition today, the short dingle elimination was originally designed in conjunction with the riders to reduce competition time to ensure an event result when conditions do not permit the use of the standard double consolidation ladder.
Competition kicked off in the early afternoon with the last remaining heat of men's round 1, pitting local Maui boy and current KSP World Championship Tour points leader Patri Mclaughlin (HI, North) against Kevin "Top Hat" Senn (HI) and Jakop Appel (DEN). With his world title hopes on the line, Mclaughlin prevailed in a nerve-racking, but relatively low scoring heat.
Women's round 1 saw some hotly contested battles, but no major upsets in the world title race. Local wildcard Moona Whyte (HI, Cabrinha) continued to impress with the highest heat score total of the women's competition thus far, a 14.17. Other riders advancing from women's round 1 included Ninja Bichler (GER, North), Kirsty Jones (GBR, North) and Jalou Langeree (NED, Naish).
In round 2 of the men, reigning KSP World Champion Airton Cozzolino later (ITA, North) nailed the highest heat score of the day with a 15.83 two-wave combined total. Male riders advancing out of round 2 included world number 3 Sebastain Ribeiro (BRA), (CPV, F-One) as well as Guilly Brandao (BRA), Stephan De Figueiredo (BRA), Keahi De Aboitiz (AUS, Cabrinha) and Filippe Ferreira (BRA, F-One). Competition was called off for the day falling short of just one heat of men's round 2.

Take note: The next generation of car buyers, just isn't that into it.
Nearly half of those aged 18 to 24 say they would choose Internet access over car ownership, according to The New York Times.
So manufacturers must research which designs, engineering and marketing resonate with today's youth if they're going to inject any sort of mojo into new-car ownership for the millennial generation.
Likewise, dealers must innovate to connect with these largely disinterested younger buyers.
I find this so surprising because owning a car meant everything to me when I was 21.
I'd graduated from college. I started saving money. After the first visit to a dealership flopped, I bemoaned, in my youthful naivete, that I would never own a car.
Eventually, I bought a new car and proudly displayed it in the driveway at my parents' house.
That's right. I lived with my parents and chose car ownership over apartment rental.
So this idea of choosing Internet access over owning a car baffles me.
Granted, when I was that age, the Internet did not widely exist.
But don't these young people realize they can get Internet access at any corner coffee shop? A car is something special. It's personal. It's a mark of accomplishment.
Apparently it's none of those things to many of the millennial generation.
Makes me wonder if maybe they've lost their mojo.

Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme Plus Review
With today's high speed graphics cards, stock coolers ensure the bare minimum temperature thresholds are met but do nothing when trying to squeeze every bit of performance out of the cards. To accomplish this task (just as with a CPU), you need a better aftermarket cooler, which allows you to properly cool your card when pushing it to the limits. There are two ways you can go to accomplish this, one is water cooling - offering increased performance at increased complexity, or you can get a high performance air cooler to tackle the task. Just as with CPU coolers, all designs are not made equally, which is why we are here today.
The cooler that we are going to be putting under the test is the Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme Plus. This is a three fan design with copper and aluminum construction used to quickly get rid of that nasty heat. I have worked with the Accelero series all the way back to when I have my 9800 PRO and have seen benefits across the board from improved cooling and a much needed noise reduction when the card heats up and that blower fan starts howling. Let's see if this massive cooler does indeed deliver improvements in both noise and cooling performance. The size and fan configuration alone look promising.
Closer Look:
The Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme Plus comes packaged in a clear blister pack so you can see exactly what it is you are investing in. The front is clear, showing off the massive heatsink. Along with a sticker showing the cooling efficiency and low noise levels, the front also lists the broad compatibility of the cards it can be used on. On the rear of the package is an expanded list of the features, specifications, and a list of exactly what cards the cooler will fit and the kits needed to install it properly.
With the cooler out of the package, we finally get a glimpse of the sheer size, when using the socket as a size reference. Included with the cooler is a bracket vent for the third PCI express slot, which this massive design will occupy in addition to the two originally used for the video card. Instructions are provided, as well as screws and a power regulator for the fans depending on your needs for performance to noise.
The main selling point of the cooler is how effectively it controls the temps of a video card. To achieve this, there are three 92mm fans that are installed across the length of the cooler. They provide a steady flow of cool air over the heatsink. The heatsink is made of five copper heat pipes that extend from the copper base, through a series of aluminum heat fins that allow the heat to be passed into the case. Attached to the copper base is also a massive aluminum block which aids in the cooler's ability to dissipate 250 watts of heat produced by your graphics beast. This allows the cooler to be used in even the most massive cards such as the GTX 480 and the Radeon HD 5870. The coolers base also comes pre-applied with Arctic Cooling MX-4 paste for maximum heat transfer.
Now that we have a good look at the overall design, let's dive in deeper to see what makes this cooler work.

From graduation parties to summer vacation, kids celebrate with vigor this time of year. Unfortunately, for too many teenagers, alcohol abuse and drunk driving are also part of their lives.
Alcohol-related fatalities among teens are highest in April, May and June � when parties are common and peer pressure is high.
Though these young drivers constitute only 6.7 percent of the total driving population, they make up 13 percent of the alcohol-involved drivers in fatal crashes, according to AAA. In the last decade, the median Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) value for alcohol-involved drivers was 0.16, meaning that more than half of all alcohol-involved drivers had BACs higher than twice the legal limit in most states.
While drunk driving and deaths resulting from drunk driving have decreased dramatically in the last twenty years, more work remains to be done. Alcohol remains a major threat to the safety of our teenagers. It is estimated that eight young people a day die in alcohol-related crashes.
With summer break just around the corner, teens will be out and about more than ever exercising their freedoms, perhaps a little too zealously. That�s why it�s worthwhile to address the topic of why teens let friends drink and drive.
The work of Penn State University researchers once followed children in Michigan and Pennsylvania from early to middle to late adolescence (fifth through 12th grade).
The research team emphasized that, when teens engage in risky behavior, they typically are with friends who care about each other. If they�re worried about friends, will they intervene or do they think it�s none of their business? As kids get older, willingness to intervene gets harder.
But studies of adults find that people tend to look out for one another more in communities where people feel a sense of social responsibility and mutual give and take�� what is known as social capital.
Peer pressure is typically seen as a negative force among teenagers considering whether to drive drunk, use drugs or alcohol, or smoke cigarettes. Prevention programs are aimed at strengthening teen�s individual resolve to resist peer pressure and make healthy choices.
And some programs have shown that peer pressure can be a positive force in kids� lives. Friends can act as allies when teens are making choices. They can be willing to tell adults or take action to stop friends� risky behaviors.
Having just attended the first round of school graduations in the county last weekend, I was again reminded of the elation these kids feel on �their day.� They try to make it to as many parties as possible and not all of them have alcohol, but some do.
Making the choice to drink and drive is serious and hopefully there won�t be any fatalities to report in the newspaper this season. Hopefully, friends will intervene and stop risky behavior that could be harmful to themselves or others.
Soon, Hillsdale High School graduates will be facing the same elation. Prom went by without a hitch with peer reinforcements brought about by the SADD organization (Students Against Destructive Decisions). Kids were reminded about the consequences of drinking and driving as the Grimm Reaper visited classrooms.
There�s much to celebrate this time of year, and with the last in our nest to soon graduate high school, we hope the memories will be ones she and her classmates will cherish.
Nancy Hastings is a staff writer for the Hillsdale Daily News. She can be reached at email@example.com.
Making good celebration choices
From graduation parties to summer vacation, kids celebrate with vigor this time of year. Unfortunately, for too many teenagers, alcohol abuse and drunk driving are also part of their lives.

Ratings for Dr. Meredith K. Tussing
Meredith is by far the most caring and knowledgable midwife that I have ever met. She cared for me after a very traumatic delivery of my premature son after I had horrible care from a different midwife. She has superior obstetrical knowledge and incredible bed side manner. She supported me during my post partum struggle and post surgical repair as well as breast feeding struggles and weight gain issues with my preemie baby. She ALWAYS took the time to answer my questions and if she didn't know the answer, she would find someone who did and always provided prompt follow up. She is very respectful towards a mothers wishes for a birth plan but is fully capable of handling any situation that arises during delivery. She is the upmost professional and demonstrated a tremendous level of care and empathy towards me and my son. I would recommend her 100 times over to any woman looming for superior care of themselves and their babies.
I met Meredith earlier today as I was desperately seeking help for my unborn baby. Previously, 2 of my unborn babies have died and I required progesterone to maintain 2 successful pregnancies. Incredulously, I was told that I needed to make an appointment with them (about a 3-4 week wait) before they could refer me to a physician (who knows how long a wait) who would then FINALLY order a blood test to which still takes an additional 2 or 3 days for results EVEN THOUGH I explained that my babies typically died during the week I found out I was pregnant. When I explained that I didn't want to put the baby's life at risk by waiting, I was told it was against policy to order a blood test "for anybody off the street." She even had the audacity to ask if the baby was planned! Her advice to make an initial appointment before getting pregnant which is not only useless but also the opposite of what the staff told me. I wouldn't expect her to make an unborn baby's life a priority.
Meredith is a competent and wonderful person. She will be there with the right answers to any questions, with the compassion required to boot. A wonderful lady all around!!

Lauralton Hall easy winner in SWC girls basketball final
There's probably only one way for Lauralton Hall to top its performance in the SWC girls basketball championship game.
"Yeah, win a state championship," game MVP Michelle DeSantis said minutes after Lauralton Hall dominated all facets of a 74-28 victory over Notre Dame-Fairfield Friday night at Bunnell.
The top-seeded Crusaders easily defended their SWC title, leading by as many as 48 points in the fourth quarter.
DeSantis paced four Lauralton players in double-figures with 19 points. Carly Fabbri added 17, Olivia Levey had 13 and Emma McCarthy chipped in 11.
"It feels awesome, it's a testament to how hard we work in practice," Fabbri said.
Friday night's win capped a grueling stretch of six games in eight days for the Crusaders, who won't play again until Friday, thanks to a first-round bye in the Class LL state tournament.
Lauralton Hall, the No. 2 seed in Class LL, hopes to avoid a repeat scenario from last season. A year ago the Crusaders (21-1) were also the No. 2 seed in the LL bracket, but were upset in the second round by East Catholic 45-43.
"We're not satisfied," Fabbri said. "We never will be. We definitely have to bring this tenacity into states and hopefully we'll come away with that."
Things started off poorly for the third-seeded Lancers (19-4) Friday and only got worse, much like it did during their 63-27 loss to the Crusaders on Jan. 4.
Less than a minute into the first quarter Notre Dame's leading scorer, Jovan Kingwood, drew a personal foul and technical foul on the same play. DeSantis hit both free throws and Fabbri followed with a 3-pointer, making it 5-0 -- setting the Crusaders well on their way to the championship game romp.
The loss put a screeching halt to Notre Dame's six-game winning streak, which included a one-point win over Brookfield in the quarterfinals and an upset of No. 2 Pomperaug in the semifinals on Wednesday. Emblematic of Notre Dame's struggles was point guard Amber James, who tallied a single basket vs. Lauralton Hall after scoring 26 points in the semifinals.
"Little by little they just imposed their will on us," Lancers coach Eric DeMarco said.
Three minutes into the second quarter Fabbri drained an NBA-range 3-pointer, kicking off a 9-0 Crusaders' run that turned a 16-6 Lauralton Hall advantage into a 25-6 margin -- all but wrapping the game up before halftime.
"They're a very talented team and sometimes you have to tip your cap and acknowledge that," DeMarco said.
Lauralton Hall added runs of 9-0 and 8-0 in the third quarter, turning the second half into something that resembled an early-season UConn women's non-conference rout.
Whatever jitters or fatigue Lauralton Hall displayed in its narrow six-point semifinal win over Kolbe Cathedral never surfaced vs. Notre Dame. Everything the Crusaders tried on offense seemed to click and on defense they forced the Lancers into 26 turnovers.
"This was one of our better performances," Lauralton Hall coach Amanda Forcucci said. "The last game against Kolbe, things didn't come easy for us. When it does like that (tonight), it looks like an easy game."
Kingwood led Notre Dame with nine points. The Lancers are the No. 2 seed in the Class M tournament and host No. 31 North Branford on Tuesday.

When first assuming office, America�s politicians take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. However, once in office, many politicians calculatedly violate that oath by drafting draconian laws infringing upon our constitutionally recognized rights. Often these rules are created to protect us from ourselves.
No issue exposes their intrusion as much as the antigun zealots� efforts to disarm America. These politicians demand Americans register all firearms. They want to limit the number of rounds a magazine can hold. They want to make certain rifles illegal based upon the weapon�s appearance vis-a-vis its functionality. Two examples of this are barrel shrouds and forward pistol grips. Neither makes a firearm more dangerous, but they look meaner, and that offends the firearm neophytes.
Our elected officials refuse to admit that criminals obtain guns illegally and don�t register their firearms. Only law-abiding citizens do those things. Politicians ignore the fact that criminals will use any magazines they can lay their hands on regardless of capacity and that criminals don�t care about barrel shrouds or pistol grips. Criminals, by definition, disobey the laws these politicians pass. Passing more firearms laws merely punishes innocent gun owners for the lawless actions of violent criminals.
How does limiting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens � my rights � make anyone safer? Do people honestly believe that confiscating my firearms makes them safer? It does not. However, it does make me and my family less safe. Antigun zealots ought to feel shame.

Adam Turk (design, story and some coding)
Bjørn Lindeijer (mostly engine)
Frode Lindeijer (graphics)
Olof Næssén (music, maybe also some other stuff)
This is our entry into Lilith's Enticement. We started out with the Moonlight Engine, which has been enhanced since its last game release (the Blues Brothers RPG). We now have a bit of a plot written up by Adam, some music composed by Olof and two tiles drawn by Frode.
We have this idea that it would be nice if the game could scale up the combat. After all, the hero usually gets stronger and stronger and encounters bosses and such. What if armies could get very big with huge enemies? Well, it wouldn't fit on your screen anymore! That's why the Moonlight Engine now has OpenGL support with scaled map drawing, so that it can zoom out a bit if things get too big...
20 March, 2007
Well, we didn't make the deadline and we didn't manage to make a game. A preview release is availabe, however, and we do plan to finish this game in due time.
19 February, 2007
We've made a bit more progress (yay). Olof has composed a song for in the forest level, Modanung drew the first player character frame and has some tiles progressing nicely (not featured yet), Adam is working on dialogue and sequences and Bjørn got the first sense of combat working. Last but not least, another secret development screenshot was uploaded!

Linux Magazine has a profile of Daniel Fore and the Elementary project. Elementary is a Linux distro that's committed to a clean and simple user experience, but it's more than a distro - it's actually a multi-pronged effort to make improvements to the user experience for a whole ecosystem of components, including icons, a GTK theme, Midori improvements, Nautilus, and even Firefox. The work that elementary is doing isn't limited to their own distro, and some of their work is available in current, and perhaps future, Ubuntu releases. The results are really striking, and I think it's probably the handsomest Linux UI I've ever seen.

RE[6]: Rip-offs are news worthy now?
by jtfolden on Sat 19th Jun 2010 06:41 UTC in reply to "RE[5]: Rip-offs are news worthy now?"
Exactly! ...and if a group are going to chase after OS X for anything, it should be the way it handles applications/libraries and not simply cosmetics.
There's no reason that a Linux distro can't do this and the fact that there have been all these attempts at landing on the desktop without anyone satisfactorily solving this issue, at this late date, is kind of mind boggling.

It's a wonder what one can do with their emergency powdered soymilk and stash of nutritional yeast. I'm glad I always travel prepared, just in case my fate is to crash on a mysterious island that cures my woes and never stops testing me.
Sorry, the lighting in this hatch sucks!
This is actually the Lower Fat New Farm Mac & Cheeze, my favorite vegan mac, made with whole wheat shells. I've been joking with my fellow LOST fanatic friend, Joanna, that I'm going to make one LOST meal a week during the final season. I'm already a week behind, but I think Mr. Cluck's Outback Combo Seitan may have to be next.

10 Motocross Fitness Training Tips
These 10 motocross fitness training tips are essential to success in the competitive motocross world. Motocross requires an immense amount of skill, but the right level of strength and endurance are vital to execute those skills.
- Stretch. Before every practice and every race take the time to stretch through the whole body one muscle group at a time. This is especially true for wrists, forearms, back, shoulders, legs and fingers. These are the areas most directly impacted by the roughness of motocross.
- Cross train. You hear about other athletes cross training to help build muscle, help muscle recover and build endurance; this is the same for motocross riders. Runners cross train by swimming or biking, motocross riders can cross train with the same activities. Swimming is one of the best forms of cross training because it takes pressure off all the joints while still engaging the muscles in your whole body for a great overall workout.
- Wear the Right Gloves. It's important to wear gloves that fit you correctly. Restrictive gloves cause restricted blood flow which can lead to numbness, tingling and slowed response. The same goes for jersey cuffs.
- Overall Fitness. Your overall fitness is essential to good riding. This includes the foods and beverages you consume. Lean proteins, complex carbs and plenty of produce will help you build muscle faster, recover faster and burn fat. If you're specifically trying to lose weight and/or build muscle, speak with a nutritionist about a diet you can follow for safe results.
- Strength Train. Though you ride constantly, eat well and even fit in some cross training, you have to make time for strength training. Ideally, this should be on the same day you cross train. While strengthening your forearms and lower body are ideal for endurance, you need to work through your core. Your core is what holds your body in proper form. A weak core can lead to injury. Work with your trainer on developing a strength training routine to fit your needs and areas for improvement.
- Handgrips and Controls. To avoid forearm pain or injury, double check your grips and control set up. You need to make sure your clutch and brake lines are lined up to your forearms to avoid unnecessary twisting. Also, check that your grips are really allowing you to grip. A simple change or upgrade in grips can make all the difference.
- Warm Up. You may not have even thought about it, but warming your body up before a race can make a huge difference. Go for a brisk walk or other form of exercise before you start the race to get your heart rate up and your blood flowing. Your reflexes will be warmed up and your muscles will be ready for the impact of racing.
- Controlled Breathing. It's important to control your breathing while racing and throughout training methods for your body to work optimally. It may sound silly, but even breathing practices and techniques can help you perform better out on the track. Sit and use deep breathes in a quiet space to learn your body rhythms and the best breathing methods for you. In through your nose and out through your mouth allow for the deepest breaths and most oxygen distributed throughout your body.
- Practice, Practice, Practice. You know how important it is to get out on the track. Regular riding is the only true way to train for a solid race. Make sure you know your strengths and the areas you need to improve. Practice both when you're on the practice track and always have someone there to help your correct form.
- Watch Race Tapes. A lot of athletes watch the recording of a game to analyze how they performed and when. This can offer you amazing insight to how you work as a rider and show you when you start to get tired and your body aches. That information can help you train better and develop strength for efficiency. You can also use this time of review to check out your opponents and find their weaknesses to practice those moves.

British Actor Hugh Grant has helped the Exeter University Cricket Club to a starring role in 505 Games' upcoming Ashes Cricket 2013.
Earlier this month the publisher launched a competition to allow one amateur team to be digitally replicated in the game.
In total 290 clubs were nominated and 16,245 votes cast.
Grant took to Twitter to drum up support for Exeter and his message was subsequently retweeted by the likes of Kevin Pietersen, Shane Warne and Elizabeth Hurley.
Rivals Oxford Brookes also had a spot of celebrity help – although having Piers Morgan on board is possibly more of a hindrance.
Winning this competition is the stuff of dreams for any amateur cricketer," 505's general manager for UK & export Ralph Pitt-Stanley stated.
It is fantastic we were able to excite so many people with this competition and really kick start the anticipation that comes with an Investec Ashes Series 2013 summer."

No. 2 Syracuse clamps down on defense down the stretch to beat Miami 64-52
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – No. 2 Syracuse held Miami without a basket for 7½ minutes down the stretch Saturday and made eight consecutive free throws in the final minute to remain unbeaten with a 64-52 victory over the Hurricanes.
Miami led 47-46 with less than 7 minutes to go but made only one field goal the rest of the way.
Syracuse (19-0, 6-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) need one more victory to tie the school record for most wins to start a season, set two years ago. The ACC newcomers beat defending league champion Miami (10-9, 2-5) for the second time in three weeks.
Jerami Grant scored 16 points to lead the Orange, who had a 39-24 rebounding advantage.
Davon Reed scored 16 points for the Hurricanes, who kept it close by shooting 9 of 17 from 3-point range.

As President Obama's political consultant, David Axelrod was guarded and disciplined when he appeared on the weekend talk shows. He stayed on message, with little hint of humor or personality. But the Axelrod we meet in his autobiography, "Believer," is a different creature altogether.
This Axelrod, liberated from the constraints of messaging, is warm and wry, loyal to Obama without being uncritical, and occasionally acid in his appraisals of others — now-Secretary of State John Kerry, political consultant Mark Penn and former Sen. John Edwards will not be among this book's biggest fans.

But the center of the cassette (5th of 9) is supposed to match between the two chainwheels for center of chainline. So one right of middle, 6th out of 9 should be fairly straight. Straighter than 9th anyway. I run a 14-25, so 0% chance of me using a 50-11.warthog1 wrote:Nobody wrote:True, but even lowly, overweight, middle-aged me with a heavy steel bike and no real sprinting ability is still happy to run a 50 which is almost 90% (89.2) of a 56. That's because it's mainly flat where I ride. Somewhat like a TT race really...
Are you regularly finding yourself in the 50-11 though? It is about a straight chainline where you spend the bulk of your time. Unless you are tting at 50kmh a 53 is more than adequate to achieve that.
I'm a wimpy spinner, so probably spend most of my time in 3rd or 4th out of 9, which is probably a 21 or 19, so 63.8 or 70.5 inches. So if I got the maths right, then me running 4th, or 19 with a 50 is (approx) the same as a 21 (21.2) with a 56. Can't see a big difference really.
Admittedly though, out of 11 speed rear is 6th being the middle. So that means probably 7th or 8th on an 11 speed for a straight chainline is going to be a 15 or 14 tooth, so you'd have to move a lot faster than me, not that that is a difficult thing to do. But if you don't need a straight chainline then 56 is not a problem, just run it in 3rd instead for 70.5 inches.

October 25, 2006 | 08:15AM PST/PTHere are two listing policy clarifications that we are implementing effective immediately:Sony PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii Pre-Sales. These highly-anticipated video game consoles will be in extremely short supply during their initial launch. During the launch of the similarly-released Microsoft Xbox 360, we saw a high number of well-intentioned sellers unable to meet their pre-sale obligations to buyers due to restricted supply, as well as an increase in fraudulent listings for these items. To prevent similar problems with these latest releases, the following restrictions have been placed on pre-sales for the PS3 and the Wii:Only one of each console can be listed per eBay account prior to the launch of the console (PS3 is expected to be available on 11/17/06, Wii on 11/19/06). The seller must only accept payment through PayPal, and have at least 50 feedback with a 98% or greater positive rating so that they qualify for PayPal Buyer Protection. The pre-sale item must be listed in the 3, 5, 7 or 10-day formats, and cannot use Buy It Now. The listing must include a photo of your pre-order receipt in the description.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Officials at a Texas zoo said they are hand-raising a 17-day-old gorilla that appeared to have been rejected by her mother.
Jerry Stones, facilities director at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, said Kiazi, a gorilla on loan from the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, gave birth Jan. 29 and soon seemed to have rejected the baby, The Brownsville (Texas) Herald reported Monday.
"The mother just ignored it and walked away; every once in a while there's a female that does that," Stones said.
Stones and his ex-wife, Cindy Stones, supervisor of the Small World exhibit, where the zoo keeps baby animals, have been caring for the infant gorilla.
"You know what it's like to stay up all night?" Cindy Stones said. "She got up every 2 hours last night."
The baby will be transferred to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden within the next week, officials said.

2003 GMC Yukon ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
The just-right size for many big families.
GMC Yukon offers a roomy cabin, impressive cargo-carrying capability, a nice ride, and a choice of V8 engines that deliver strong power for towing or tackling steep grades. Yukon Denali is a luxury version that adds a sumptuous interior, a bigger engine, and full-time all-wheel drive.
Either way, the Yukon is a good size for large families. Built on GM's excellent full-size truck platform, the Yukon is the same size and, in many ways, the same vehicle as the Chevrolet Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade. Yukon is 20 inches shorter than the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL, making it much easier to park and garage. It is slightly smaller than the Ford Expedition, but longer and wider than the GMC Envoy, Chevy TrailBlazer, and Ford Explorer. Yukon is wider and shorter than the Envoy XL, giving it better stability in cornering and more comfortable accommodations for third-row occupants.
Yukon was completely redesigned for 2000, and the luxurious Yukon Denali was introduced for 2001. For 2002, GMC upgraded the automatic transmissions, designed a more efficient starter, built a more durable steering gear housing, installed new child safety seat anchors, and achieved an ultra-low emissions (ULEV) rating for the Vortec 5300 V8 engine.
2003 brings major revisions for improved comfort, safety, reliability, and emissions. The front seats are more sculptured for 2003. The brakes have been improved, the airbags are smarter, and optional Autotrac four-wheel drive is more sophisticated. StabiliTrak electronic stability control, power adjustable pedals, and multi-zone electronic climate control are standard on 2003 Yukon Denali and optional on other models. A rear-seat Panasonic DVD system is available for all models.
Three trim levels are available: SLE, SLT and Denali.
GMC Yukon SLE ($34,305 with two-wheel drive and $36,905 with four-wheel drive) comes loaded with automatic dual-zone air conditioning, a power adjustable split-bench front seat, anti-lock brakes, self-leveling suspension, CD stereo with nine Bose speakers, power windows, power door locks, fog lights, tinted glass, heated outside mirrors, leather wrapped steering wheel, and alarm. A 275-horsepower 4.8-liter V8 is standard; a 285-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 is optional ($700).
SLT trim ($36,635 with 2WD, $39,235 with 4WD) adds high-back bucket seats with leather inserts, rear seat audio controls, and assist steps. The 5.3-liter V8 is standard.
Yukon Denali ($48,505) is an upscale model that comes with a big 6.0-liter V8 engine, full-time all-wheel drive, StabiliTrak stability control, and a computer-controlled AutoRide suspension. Denali also comes equipped with nearly every desirable feature as standard equipment, including: heated leather 10-way power seats, On-Star driver assistance, nine-speaker Bose stereo with XM Satellite Radio capability and in-dash six-disc CD changer, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Denali options are limited, but include a sunroof ($1,000) and engine block heater ($35).
GMC Yukon is conservatively styled. GMC is taking a more sophisticated, more understated approach to design than Chevrolet. Yukon looks like a shortened version of the Yukon XL, which looks like a fancy Chevy Suburban, which is what it is. An arched roofline provides extra headroom for the second and third rows.
The most visible difference between Yukon SLE/SLT and Denali is the Denali's aftermarket-inspired chrome grille, in place of the blacked-out grille worn by other Yukons.
An important choice to make here is whether you want a contemporary hatch rear door that lifts up, or old-fashioned side-by-side cargo doors. (The former is standard, the latter a so-called 'delete option' that comes with a $250 credit.) Cargo doors are more useful for towing trailers, while the hatch style is usually more convenient for families, partly because the window can be opened separately for quick loading or unloading of smaller items. Denali buyers are limited to a hatch with flip-up window. Utility-minded shoppers looking for cargo doors will have to settle for an SLE or SLT.
GMC Yukon is comfortable and convenient. GMC has gone to great lengths to make the Yukon more comfortable, easier to operate and more attractive for families.
Getting inside is easy thanks to pull-out style door handles that replace the old lift-up style openers. Step-in height is lower than in previous-generation models, making it easier to climb into the driver's seat. The Denali's leather upholstery is very nice looking and feels comfortable.
The front seats have been redesigned for 2003, but we found them lacking in comfort. Seat-mounted shoulder harnesses on the front and rear seats make the Yukon's belts easy to wear. Safety in all Yukons has been enhanced with dual-stage front airbags. The luxury-oriented Yukon Denali provides side-impact airbags as well. Visibility out of the Yukon is very good, thanks to large windows. The combination of good visibility and confident handling give the Yukon an air of nimbleness.
The instrument panel is substantially new for 2003. All controls are mounted close to the driver's seat. Climate controls and audio controls are redesigned for 2003 and are easier to use and more sophisticated than before.
Second-row seating is roomy and comfortable. Second-row bucket seats are now optional in SLE and SLT as well as Denali. They offer excellent support and can be adjusted individually. We think they're more comfortable than the front seats.
Yukon's third-row seat provides space for adults' feet. It isn't a lot of space, but it is there. The third row folds, flips, slides and removes easily. Whichever way you choose to stow the third-row seat, it is easy to do; it has wheels to help roll it into the garage for storage. Still, getting into and out of that third row isn't easy for adults. If you're going to put people back there on a regular basis, we recommend considering the longer GMC Yukon XL.
Music lovers will enjoy the Bose nine-speaker stereo with a subwoofer. It uses a spiral-wrapped radio antenna to cut wind noise. GMC says it chose to use a conventional mast for improved performance, rather than embedding the antenna in a window.
The optional Panasonic DVD Passenger Entertainment System ($1295) includes a DVD player with seven-inch flip-down screen for second-seat passengers; plus two sets of wireless (infrared) headphones with independent volume control, a wireless remote control and three sets of auxiliary video and audio inputs. The wireless headphones are light and comfortable and the display offers a crisp picture.
Driving Impression
GMC Yukon offers a nice ride, whether on asphalt or dirt. On bumpy rural byways that make some SUVs feel like pogo sticks, the Yukon rides with impressive smoothness. On smooth highways, the Yukon cruises effortlessly. Handling is impressive and surefooted for a full-size SUV. Yukon is stable at high speed. It's much easier to park then the longer Yukon XL, but it's still a full-size truck and not as maneuverable as a mid-size SUV such as the GMC Envoy or Ford Explorer.
Car-based SUVs such as the Lexus RX use independent rear suspension to provide the ride and handling customers expect, but independent suspensions don't carry heavy loads as well. So GMC has given the Yukon a live rear axle mounted on coil springs and located by five control links, an arrangement which provides a good compromise between ride/handling and cargo-carrying utility. Yukon's front suspension is conventional in design, but uses torsion bars instead of coil springs to save space. Its conventional ladder frame is fully boxed in the mid-section for maximum rigidity, while the front and rear portions are shaped by the same hydroforming technique used to make Corvette frames. This rigid design is a key to the Yukon's excellent ride and handling. At the very front of the frame is a section designed to crush and absorb impacts in a crash.
Denali's AutoRide computer-controlled suspension helps keep it level over bumps. This effect is especially pronounced when towing; a trailer tends to cause the towing vehicle to rock back and forth when driving over bumps, but the AutoRide system keeps the Denali amazingly smooth.
The steering on all Yukons provides good control and feedback. It's a recirculating-ball system, however, which doesn't offer the response of the rack-and-pinion steering found on the Ford Explorer and Expedition.
A tighter 38.3-foot turning diameter makes the Yukon much easier to park than a Yukon XL, which takes another 4.7 feet of space to turn around (unless it has Quadrasteer). That makes a huge difference in the grocery store parking lot. The current Yukon's turning diameter represents a big improvement over previous-generation Yukon and Tahoe models.
The brakes perform well. Improvements to the system for 2003 have reduced pedal effort while improving feedback. A dynamic proportioning system continuously balances the front and rear brakes for maximum braking without activating the ABS. To check this out, we towed a heavily laden horse trailer without trailer brakes connected and were impressed with the Yukon's braking ability.
Under the hood, the Yukons employ the latest version of Chevy's small-block V8 engine family. These Generation III overhead-valve engines are the best yet and rival competitors' overhead-cam engines for smoothness and efficiency. As mentioned, they come in three sizes: 4.8-liter, 5.3-liter, and 6.0-liter.
The popular 5.3-liter V8 is rated at 285 horsepower and its acceleration is impressive. Like the 4.8-liter engine, the 5.3-liter burns regular unleaded fuel, but at the same 14/18 mpg rate as the big 6.0.
The 4.8-liter V8 is rated at 275 horsepower and gets better fuel economy, earning 15/20 mpg on the EPA's city/highway test in a 2WD Yukon.
The big 6.0-liter V8 that comes with the Denali cranks out 320 horsepower. Fuel economy is improved for 2003, up from last year's 12/16 mpg city/highway to a more reasonable EPA mileage rating of 14/18. The 6.0-liter V8 burns regular unleaded fuel, making pit stops a little more affordable.
Standard Yukons come with a choice of two-wheel drive or a traditional, part-time four-wheel-drive system. On two-wheel-drive models, an optional limited-slip rear differential provides better traction in slippery conditions. A second-gear winter start feature in the automatic transmission helps get the vehicle rolling without wheel spin on snow or ice.
Optional StabiliTrak electronic stability control ($750) offers greater safety on uncertain surfaces. Sta.
GMC Yukon is among the best of the full-size SUVs. It's large enough to carry a crowd in comfort or haul a lot of cargo, yet doesn't require an aircraft hanger and a flag man to park it.
Yukon Denali gives full-size SUV shoppers a luxury alternative to the more overstated Cadillac Escalade. Denali is styled more conventionally than the Escalade, so some buyers may be more comfortable with its traditional appearance. Both are comfortable, roomy SUVs. Lots of power, comfortable accommodations, and safety features such as side-impact air bags place the Yukon Denali among the best of the full-size luxury SUVs.

Here's a hot little Portland, Oregon native who debuted in the porn industry in 2012, when she was 19 years old. In her skimpy bikini and smoky eyeliner, Jessa Rhodes would look right at home on a poster in your garage; fresh-faced and in a little miniskirt, she looks just like an "innocent" babysitter or schoolgirl type. Like a new Pamela Anderson, Jessa has a gorgeous face and body that get you spanking it before you even see her in action. But speaking of action, Jessa gives plenty of that in Teen Tryouts 61 (Devil's Film), The Babysitter 9 (Sweet Sinner/Mile High Media), Ink Girls (Wicked Pictures), and dozens more boy/girl and girl/girl releases.

Guardians of the Galaxy first arrived on Netflix in April of 2015 in Belgium and the Netherlands. As of now it can be watched in 10 different regions including Netflix Canada, Australia, and the UK, but NOT on American Netflix.
Check out the up-to-the-minute availability on our Guardians of the Galaxy on Netflix page, or unlock it no matter where you live using the steps on our Get American Netflix page (which actually lets you watch American Netflix PLUS Netflix Canada and 4 other countries, which will get you watching Guardians tonight!).
Movies are in many ways a colossal gamble. You pay someone millions and millions of dollars in the hopes that the director can double or triple that amount and turn that little movie you funded into a juggernaut of popularity and pump out more sequels so you can do the process over and over again. At the time, barely anyone had even heard of a comic book as absurd and underground as "Guardians of the Galaxy." It took DC decades before they could even greenlight a "Wonder Woman" movie, in a day and age where they are now proudly flaunting the fact they got a female lead superhero movie out before Marvel did, and yet a movie about a talking raccoon and a tree monster who repeats the same 3 words frequently got made first?
This is how truly strange the story of "Guardians of the Galaxy" is, and it's a challenge that horror director/writer; James Gunn (Slither, Dawn of the Dead) took on for Marvel. After human outlaw Peter Quill/Star Lord (Chris Pratt) steals a powerful orb sought after a fanatical alien warrior called Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace), an epic manhunt begins for Quill and the orb. The ensuing chase forces Quill to team up with other galactic misfits such as Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel) to protect the orb and stop Ronan from using it to lay waste to them and everyone and everything else in the universe that stands in his way.
This concept is a bizarre bucket of weird no matter what director or writer tackles it. "Guardians" is a galactic amalgamation of "Animal House", "Star Wars" and a whole juke box full of classic tunes that somehow manages to work together in the most awesomely mixed way possible. There's a powerful assortment of talented actors from the likes of Pratt, Diesel, Cooper, Zaldana; playing the most ridiculous of roles from talking raccoons with guns and one liner spouting tree beings. It's a bewildering mix of comedic genius, space age action and dysfunctional characters and dynamics that probably sounded asinine on paper, but it comes to life beautifully and hilariously when Gunn assembles his motley crew and pumps out the jams.
People knew very little about "Thor" or "Iron Man" when their solo films debuted, but only the wisest of geeks have heard of a comic book title as random and obscure as "Guardians." It is for this reason that Gunn wisely took these "A-holes" (movie quote) on a completely different ride than other Marvel heroes had experienced. This film uses its humor and soundtrack like it was all part of the same plan, executed colorfully and creatively unlike any other superhero movie witnessed before. While Pratt, Cooper and Diesel are, not surprisingly, masters at flexing their comedic chops, it's newcomer Dave Bautista that truly steals the show with his impeccable comedic timing. He excels with his stunt work and chemistry with his fellow cast mates and it helps bind the team as one hell of an entertaining group of goofballs.
Other actors well worth mentioning include Glenn Close and John C. Reilly as space police, Karen Gillian as the icy Nebula, Michael Rooker as the blue skinned hunter Yondu, and the oddly delightful performance of Benicio Del Toro as The Collector. There's hardly a single genre that this movie doesn't touch, everything from romance, action, buddy comedies, space operas and science fiction is represented in a gloriously goofy gumbo that has the right amount of spice and punch to liven up anyone's spirits. The villain, Ronan, may not be the most well explored bad guy in Marvel's universe, but he is by no means a letdown or a disappointment and Lee Pace is damn near unrecognizable as the hammer wielding Big Bad of this story.
Overall, "Guardians" is a strangely assorted mix of nuts, aliens, trees, raccoons and classic songs that feel brand new when lined up with Chris Pratt dancing across an alien planet's chasm while singing into a space lizard. This idea sounds too fragmented and silly to work, too many great names in bizarre roles with outdated music should have been a multi layered bomb for this picture…but it wasn't. "Guardians" works when no one thought it did and it works in ways no one could have expected. It's a much welcomed surprise at the bottom of a Marvel superhero cereal box and it is one that will be thoroughly enjoyed for many light years to come.

Expert Reviews
2011 Volkswagen Routan
The Volkswagen Routan has been updated with new features for 2011 headlined by a new 3.6-liter V6 engine that brings more power and refinement without sacrificing fuel economy. That's good news because a lack of power has been Routan's weakest point.
The Routan minivan offers space for up to seven adults and their belongings in a high-quality cabin with amenities similar to those of a home theater.
The 2011 Volkswagen Routan is powered by a new 3.6-liter V6 engine. Rated at 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, the new Pentastar V6 is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. That's substantially more power than the previous 3.8-liter and 4.0-liter V6s used in the 2009-10 Routan models.
Fuel economy for the 2011 Routan with the new 3.6-liter V6 is an EPA-estimated 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. That matches the fuel economy of the 4.0-liter V6 in the 2010 Routan SEL and beats the old 3.8-liter V6. A new fuel optimization switch allows the driver to select an ECO mode which adjusts shift patterns to increase fuel economy.
The Routan is basically a Chrysler Town & Country with a different interior, a Volkswagen exterior, and revised suspension settings. It has nothing in common with previous Volkswagen minivans. The new Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 is built by Chrysler. Routan was introduced for 2009.
Underway, the Routan offers a pleasant ride and the driver enjoys a commanding view of the road.
The Volkswagen has a nicer interior than the Chrysler, and the Routan is a virtual rolling living room for families. New interior fabrics are available on 2011 Routan models, along with new interior colors. New perforated front row seating with pillow top armrests and second row captain's chairs offer an increased level of luxury and comfort. All 2011 Routan models include an all new leather-wrapped steering wheel with multi-function controls, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and a full assortment of gauges. Underfoot is a high-density carpet, with matching floor mats, which add to the interior appeal. Routan is available with dual power sliding doors with power windows, power-folding third-row seating for extra storage room or tailgating function.
The cabin is wired for phones, MP3 players and game consoles, with 12-volt outlets, 115-volt house current. A DVD rear-seat entertainment system features screens in both the second and third rows. Video game systems can be plugged in, and each screen can show something different, including the front navigation screen. Also offered is Volkswagen's JoyBox hard-drive radio. It has a 30-gigabyte hard drive that can hold thousands of song and picture files.
Intelligent storage solutions can be found with dual glove boxes, a floor console, 13 cup holders, an available highline console with a large storage compartment, available ceiling storage, door sill and rear quarter storage bins, cargo nets, and a variety of coat and bag and purse hooks throughout. Airline style LED reading lights are ready in all three seating rows, while sunshades and privacy glass keep unwanted light from shining through. When sunshine and fresh air are wanted, a power sunroof is available.
Volkswagen opted to make the second-row seats thicker and more comfortable than those in the Town & Country. The Routan lacks the Stow 'n Go and the Swivel 'n Go seating features that make Chrysler minivans unique because the bigger seats won't fit in the storage bins. The Routan does have the useful underfloor storage areas, however. The second-row seats fold flat and are removable.
The third-row seats fold into the floor. A flat load floor big enough for 4×8-foot sheets of plywood can be created by removing the second-row seats and folding the third row into the floor, a great feature. The Routan can haul an enormous amount of cargo in this configuration. When the third-row seats are up, there is a handy well behind them that's great for groceries.
Model LineupVolkswagen Routan S ($26,930); SE ($31,770); SEL ($37,390); SEL Premium ($43,240)
Walk Around
Volkswagen Routan uses the same architecture and some of the same body panels as the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan. It's a large vehicle, but it's about the same size as several competitors, including the Nissan Quest, Honda Odyssey, and Toyota Sienna. Cargo room is comparable.
The boxy main body is the same as the Town & Country's, but the Routan has VW styling from the front pillars forward. The grille is unmistakably Volkswagen, resembling that of the Tiguan compact SUV. The tailgate is also a VW design, with the main element being the VW logo placed dead center.
Routan was launched as a 2009 model.
Routan S models have manual sliding doors on both sides while Routan SE and higher line models have power sliding doors. The top-line Routan SEL Premium has a power rear liftgate. On no model does the rear glass open separately.
Routan S comes with 16-inch steel wheels; 17-inch alloy wheels are standard on SE and SEL.
The Routan's greatest advantage over the Town & Country is the quality of the Volkswagen interior materials. The Routan takes advantage of most of the T&C's thoughtful entertainment features, but lacks the innovative seating options that give the Chrysler an advantage in the minivan class. The Routan seats are comfortable, however. Folding the third row and removing the second row turns the Routan into a capacious cargo van.
Where hard plastic dominates the dash and doors of the Town & Country, the Volkswagen Routan has nicely padded door armrests and a quality soft-touch upper dash. It's not all luxury level, though. The lower dash is hard plastic and the trim piece that bisects the dash is thin plastic. The white-faced gauges with black numbers are sourced from Chrysler. Surrounded by a faux aluminum trim piece, they are not that easy to read in bright sunlight.
The radio is set high on the center of the dash, and VW offers a version of Chrysler's UConnect Tunes and UConnect GPS hard-drive radios called JoyBox. JoyBox is also offered in two versions, one with a navigation system and one without. Both include a touchscreen, both come with one year of Sirius satellite radio, and both have a 30-gigabyte hard drive that holds music and picture files. Those files can be ripped from a CD or downloaded from a thumb drive plugged into the vehicle's USB outlet. When the navigation system is ordered, the hard drive also holds navigation map information. The navigation system has voice activation. An optional Garmin navigation system is available for the Routan SE.
Routan's controls are easy to use, though those on the right of the radio or touchscreen can be a bit of a reach for the driver. The climate controls are located below the radio, and they're self explanatory. The gearshift is mounted between the radio and the instrument panel. It's easy to reach, leaves plenty of room for other controls, and includes an electronic gear readout in the instrument cluster.
Room up front is plentiful. There is plenty of head room, and leg room will only be lacking for the tallest drivers. The front captain's chairs provide an upright driving position with an SUV-like view of the road. A tilt steering wheel and available adjustable pedals should help most drivers tailor a comfortable seating position, but some might prefer a telescoping steering wheel to bring the wheel closer to the driver.
When it comes to storage, the Routan has two glove boxes and some cubbies in the center stack for small items storage. A total of 13 cupholders are found throughout the Routan SEL. The standard console has four integrated cupholders and a small storage bin. The Routan SEL's premium center console has four cupholders and a small bin on top that slides back to reveal a larger storage bin below it. The lower bin also slides back. With both layers slid back, the top level moves back a total of 21 inches, which allows parents up front to pass drinks and sandwiches to the kids in back. The premium console is also removable to allow easy access to the back seats.
In the far back, the Volkswagen Routan has a deep well behind the third row, which makes hauling groceries easier. Even with all seats up, the Routan has 32.3 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row. The third-row seat is split 60/40. It folds into that well in one or two sections. Three straps are attached to the back of each seat and they're marked 1, 2, 3. To fold the seats into the floor, first pull strap 1, then pull strap 2. You have to give strap 2 a good yank and help the seat along with your other hand. It can require leverage that some moms might not have. Strap 3 pulls the seats back up. A better option is the power folding third row seat, which can be set to four positions, including what VW calls the tailgating position. In this position, the seatbacks act as seat bottoms and the bottoms act as backs facing the rear of the van.
The second row a pair of captain's chairs that recline. The backs can fold flat on top of the bottoms for loading flat cargoes on top of the seats. Or the second-row seats can be removed, though they're heavy and you need somewhere to store them. With the second-row seats removed and the third-row seats folded, the Routan has a flat load floor, 144.0 cubic feet of cargo volume, and enough space to fit a 4×8-foot sheet of plywood.
A DVD rear-seat entertainment system is available with nine-inch video screens in the second row and third row. When the vehicle is in Park, video can be sent to the front navigation screen, allowing front-seat passengers to watch movies. Video game systems can be plugged in, and each row can watch or play something different. Four sets of headphones are provided.
Driving Impressions
All 2011 Volkswagen Routan models are powered by a new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 3.6-liter V6 is provides 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.
Fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 17/25 mpg City/Highway.
Volkswagen retuned the Chrysler suspension to make the Routan more like a Volkswagen. Changes to the springs, dampers, bushings and steering gear resulted. However, without any changes to the suspension geometry, the Volkswagen Routan still handles and rides much like the Chrysler Town & Country. Volkswagen touts the Routan's European ride and handling, but we sensed little difference between the Routan and the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Caravan.
Like the Town & Country, the Routan is tall, heavy and long. Those traits make describe a good hauler but they make for cumbersome handling. With a bit quicker steering ratio over that of the Chrysler, the Routan reacts a little quicker to driver inputs. Still, the steering is very light and has lots of play on center. Drive it hard into a turn and it exhibits lots of body roll, leaning in turns. Pushed beyond the grip of the tires, it understeers. In other words, it prefers to keep going straight rather turning in quickly. Granted, most owners will never drive this aggressively, but the Honda, Toyota, and Nissan vans offer tighter, more responsive handling.
What most people want is a smooth ride, and here the Routan delivers. Most bumps are handled without transmitting a jolt to passengers. Sharp ruts can crash through, though. While the Routan does have some of the Town & Country's floaty feel on the highway, it doesn't seem to sway as much and feels slightly better buttoned down. On the whole, the Routan isn't as luxurious as the Toyota Sienna and it isn't as carlike or a as sporty as the Honda Odyssey or Nissan Quest. Tire and wind noise are well controlled in the Routan.
The Volkswagen Routan is a family friendly minivan with a high quality interior. The 2011 Routan gets a new 3.6-liter V6 that produces more power yet maintains fuel economy. Routan rides smoothly, but handling is not as good as that of its competitors. Routan comes with Volkswagen's three-year or 36,000-mile free-maintenance plan.

GOP Lawmaker's 'I Don't Like Men' Comment Stirs Protest
An outspoken and conservative Pennsylvania state lawmaker is the target of calls to resign or be demoted after he interrupted a committee meeting to accost his Democratic counterpart for touching his arm and suggest the man might be gay.
Pennsylvania's Democratic Party called on Rep. Daryl Metcalfe to resign, while a gay and transgender rights group and a health care workers' labor union asked Republican majority leaders to strip Metcalfe of his committee chairmanship.
Metcalfe's comments and committee meetings routinely stoke anger from Democrats and their allies.
In Tuesday's meeting, Metcalfe said , "stop touching me all the time" and "I don't like men, as you might," after Democratic Rep. Matt Bradford placed his hand on Metcalfe's forearm while sitting next to him and speaking.
A House GOP spokesman had no comment. Metcalfe didn't respond to a call seeking comment.

Lady Vols see soccer season end
The Starkville Academy Lady Volunteers got off to a fast start in Tuesday's Class AAA soccer playoff match against Presbyterian Christian when Tiffany Huddleston scored on a breakaway goal at the fourth minute.
Little did the Lady Volunteers know that it would be about 90 minutes before they would score again.
Presbyterian Christian was able to get a goal in the 10th minute of the second half, then added two more in the first extra period and left the Starkville Sportsplex with a 3-2 victory.
Huddleston scored again for the Lady Vols in the second extra period, but it wasn't enough.
"It's definitely a tough way to end the season," Huddleston said. "Going into half having a 1-0 lead, you know you have to maintain that lead. It was a hard-fought game and I hate it ended that way. One of the things we talked about (at halftime) is what we needed to do in the second half and that was to continue to score goals."
That didn't happen as Starkville Academy was shut out the entire second half and the first overtime.
Presbyterian Christian was able to put in goals within 5 minutes of each other in the first overtime and proved to be too much for the Lady Vols to overcome.
"It was obviously a difficult loss," Starkville Academy coach Robert Gardner said. "It wasn't our best game and I thought the pressure got to us a little bit. That was unfortunate and I wish that wasn't the case at all. We would panic at times when we normally wouldn't have. In situations where we usually make good decisions, we weren't making the best decisions. When you put yourself under that pressure, it's usually going to be a tough day.
"I don't think any team in the state is beyond us and Presbyterian Christian was no different, but this was just the way it finished for us."
Huddleston was able to get her second goal about 2 minutes into the second overtime which put the Lady Vols within striking distance to get the match tied once again.
As hard as Starkville Academy tried, it couldn't get in position to get another goal. Even Gardner was chasing soccer balls out of bounds to help save time.
"We were trying to score as many goals as we could in the last few minutes," Gardner said. "We moved to a 3-4-3 hoping it would put a little more pressure on and it did. We did have to chase the game at the end."
The Lady Vols, who finished the season with a record of 9-7-1, lose one senior off the team in Shelby Carpenter, who participates along with Gardner in the All-Star Game next week.
"I am very sad to lose Shelby because she was a big part of our success," Gardner said. "She was a hard worker and worked for the team. It's unfortunate to lose her, but I told the girls we are only moving forward. On a squad of 22, we've got 21 returning, that's always positive."
Gardner is the third coach in three years for SA's soccer program, but he vows there won't be a fourth coach in as many years.
"I will be back and I'm looking forward to having a lot of success," Gardner said.
Huddleston already looks forward to the possibilities a more experienced squad brings to the table next season.
"Even though I'm saying this on the day our season ends, it's certainly something to look forward to," Huddleston said. "The only thing we're gaining is more experience."

NEWPORT NEWS, VA -- Sailors aboard USS George Washington (GW) now have an ally in their "battle of the bulge," courtesy of a Navywide weight management program that the ship's medical department began using in August.
The ShipShape Program is the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery-approved weight management program that provides active-duty sailors with basic information regarding nutrition, stress management, exercise and behavior modification techniques to lower and maintain an acceptable body weight and body fat percentage that is within Navy standards. The program is coordinated by the Health Promotion Department at local Navy Medical Treatment Facilities.
According to Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Matthew Watton, medical department's fitness enhancement program training coordinator, the program is designed to give GW sailors the tools necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition and exercise.
"We plan to continue the program," Watton emphasized. "The classes have been growing every day, so we want to give the people involved an opportunity to succeed."
Cryptologic Technician 1st Class Gary Karnes credits the class for giving him the information to maintain a healthy diet.
"I've learned a lot so far," said Karnes, a member of the ship's operations department. "I've learned how important a healthy diet is. This program is beneficial for people who have never been exposed to proper nutrition and don't know how bad fast food really is for you."
So what makes this nutrition course different from others?
"Normally Sailors receive temporary additional duty orders to a hospital to attend the training," explained Karnes. "By having the classes here, sailors can go home at the end of the day and decide what to do with the information they learned. It's really up to the sailor to adhere to that information."
"This program is very important, especially in today's Navy," Watton said. "The Navy is cracking down on physical readiness failures, which affects Sailors' careers. The failures also affect our mission, because it is essential to be in top physical condition to do our job."

Why should I use persistent binding on my EMC® storage array?
For a fabric configuration, EMC highly recommends enabling persistent binding. Without a persistent binding mechanism, the host will be unable to maintain a persistent logical routing of communication from a storage device object across the fabric to an EMC storage array volume. If the physical configuration of the switch is changed (for example, cables are swapped or the host is rebooted), the logical route becomes inconsistent. This could cause possible data corruption.
Modify the options lpfcdd line in the /etc/modules.conf file to set persistent binding.
|In the example above :lpfcxt0x is the initiator and 50:06:01:6x:00:60:00:ed following WWPN is the Target WWPN. The number of bind entries in this example is 4.
|The following entries should be entered as one line, they have been split up below for carity. The Target WWPN should have the colons removed. There should be a Target WWPN:initiator entry for each of the bind entries.
NOTE: The persistence information should only be updated if there is a change to the WWPN that the host sees or the initiator identifier on the host.

Belgian Newspapers Agree To Drop Lawsuit Over Google News After Google Promises To Show Them How To Make Money Online
from the baby-steps dept
The somewhat acrimonious legal dispute continued, until now. Google has announced that the news publishers have agreed to a "settlement," where the terms are somewhat hilarious. Basically, it looks like they've agreed to drop the lawsuit... if Google will teach them how to make money online:
- Promote both the publishers' and Google's services - Google will advertise its services on the publishers' media, while the publishers will optimise their use of Google's advertising solutions, in particular AdWords to attract new readers.
- Increase publishers' revenue - by collaborating on making money with content, both via premium models (paywalls, subscriptions), and via advertising solutions such as the AdSense platform and the AdExchange marketplace;
- Increase reader engagement - by implementing Google+ social tools, including video Hangouts, on news sites, and launching official YouTube channels;
- Increase the accessibility of the publishers' content - by collaborating on the distribution of the publishers original content on mobile platforms, in particular smartphones and tablets;
