2008 Cadillac STS KBB Expert Review
Cadillac's evolution from a builder of cushy luxo-barges to world-class touring sedans is complete, and nowhere is this transformation more evident than with the 2008 Cadillac STS. Along with the new CTS, the STS has the mission of putting Cadillac back on the world's radar screen, and if ever there was a Cadillac that could lure younger buyers from their love affairs with Lexus and BMW, it's the STS. With a choice of V6 or V8 engines, rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and enough sophisticated electronics to please the most demanding technophile, about the only thing lacking from this car is a manual transmission, a feature some enthusiasts may desire.
You'll Like This Car If...
If you like the edgy styling of the CTS and XLR cars, you'll no doubt like the 2008 Cadillac STS. It has room for five, a massive trunk and a long list of electronic features and gadgets.
You May Not Like This Car If...
The 2008 Cadillac STS' styling has been seen before, namely on the CTS sedan. It does not stand out like the BMW 5 Series or Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and buyers at this level often prefer a more distinctive vehicle.
What's New for 2008
The 2008 Cadillac STS V6 receives a new 302-horsepower, 3.6-liter engine. New options for the STS V6 include a performance package, HID headlights and the Head-Up Display (HUD). Refreshed exterior styling is enhanced by some new technological features such as Lane Departure Warning and Side Blind Zone Alert.
Driving It
Driving Impressions
With key fob in pocket, our 2008 Cadillac STS knew of our presence, unlocking its doors in anticipation of the coming drive; the same fob permitted us to start the car with a push of a button. On the road, we found the STS' new 3.6-liter V6 to be quiet and free of vibration, even at full throttle. Power was readily available and fuel economy proved surprisingly good, especially on long highway trips, leaving us to wonder, "Why pay more for the V8?". The STS' rear-wheel-drive platform and sport-tuned suspension allowed little body roll and gave predictable handling. The STS tracked brilliantly in tight turns, though the steering response was somewhat soft and slow to react. StabiliTrak stability control proved admirable in keeping the STS from skidding off course.
Favorite Features
Bose 5.1 Studio Surround Sound
The Bose 5.1 Studio Surround Sound option features 15 speakers placed strategically throughout the cabin, including on the tops of the seats and beneath the center console. It delivers great sound.
Supportive Seats
The STS seats show Cadillac has found a nice combination of comfort and support, and they do a good job of holding you in place without being too firm.
Vehicle Details
The 2008 Cadillac STS interior is certainly pleasing to the eye, but not ground-breaking by any means. The usual color choices of black, tan or gray are offset by the occasional use of nice wood trim. A sprayed-on urethane "skin" gives the dash and door panels a rich look mimicking real leather, but we do worry how well this material will hold up over time. Optional equipment, such as the four-color Head-Up Display and Bose 5.1 Studio Surround Sound audio, help liven things up a bit. Rear-seat legroom and headroom are plentiful, and the huge trunk with its low lift-over height allows for easy loading.
The 2008 Cadillac STS sports many of the same styling cues as the new CTS sedan, but a closer look reveals a bit more curvature in the design. The STS is two inches wider than its CTS sibling, giving it a more substantial look, and its C-pillar design is narrower at the top, with the rear doorframe clearly outlined. A new signature wide front grille is flanked by a set of stacked headlamps, while around back the signature Cadillac taillights are lit by two long rows of LEDs.
Notable Standard Equipment
The V6-powered STS has a six-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), traction control, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, OnStar, keyless start, auto-dimming mirror, Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist, Bose audio, front side-impact and front and rear head-curtain airbags, leather seats, cruise control, leather-wrapped power tilt/telescoping steering wheel and 17-inch painted aluminum wheels. The V8 model features a memory package for the driver's seat, mirrors and steering wheel, dual eight-way power seats, heated rear seats and 17-inch polished aluminum wheels.
Notable Optional Equipment
Options are numerous, are generally arranged by trim level and packages and include onboard navigation, Head-Up Display (HUD), garage door opener, six-disc DVD changer, Bose 5.1 Studio Surround Sound system, HID headlamps, power glass moonroof, Magnetic Ride Control suspension, limited-slip rear axle, rain-sensing wipers, 18-inch wheels and tires, Lane Departure Warning, Side Blind Zone Alert, adaptive cruise control and a performance handling package.
Under the Hood
The new 3.6-liter V6 engine is strong enough to satisfy most owners, while the V8 offers plenty of performance for the enthusiasts. It really comes down to how you like to drive and how much money you have to spend.
3.6-liter V6
302 horsepower @ 6300 rpm
272 lb.-ft. of torque @ 5200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/26
4.6-liter V8
320 horsepower @ 6400 rpm
315 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4400 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 15/24 (RWD), 14/21 (AWD)
Pricing Notes
The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the STS V6 with rear-wheel drive starts around $43,000, while the V8 model starts around $53,000. The Fair Purchase Prices show that consumers are currently paying close to MSRP on both the V6 and V8 models. Be sure to check the Fair Purchase Price to see what people are currently paying for an STS in your area. The 2008 Cadillac STS is a relatively new model, which may be why it trails behind the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Lexus GS in projected residual values.

My impression is that the CD that you are using is faulty or dirty. The computer needs the disk for the entire installation process, not just for copying files. The problem can be in some other parts but the message that you get leads me to that conclusion. Try to clean the CD carefully or use another installation CD, of the same version, and use your own product key.

*note* This review is written more for people who have already read the book, so there are spoilers ahead. I won't bother recapping the first two books. If you haven't read them, I highly recommend the series but suggest starting with The Hunger Games. For a review of the first book in the series, click here.
In Mockingjay, Collins basically keeps the Hunger Games going, except she loses the arena and the limited number of players. The Hunger Games is now everywhere and has become everyone's reality. And it doesn't get any easier for Katniss, who finds herself the reluctant face of the resistance.
Instead of Snow, this time Katniss is being used by Coin for her own purposes. Purposes which may or may not overlap with Katniss' own desires. Instead of having a team of stylists, Katniss' outward appearance (despite her inward struggles and demons) is made acceptable by a small film crew shooting propoganda pieces for the resistance. And Katniss continues to struggle with her own identity. Is she of any value to the resistance? To Peeta or Gale? Does her life have any meaning beyond her role in the civil war and her ultimate goal, which is not to serve the resistance, but to kill Snow?
I thought Collins did a great job of showing how truly innocent, good people, can become completely changed by life's events. Katniss and Peeta are hardly the same people they were in the first book. You see their tragic evolution from unblemished to completely destroyed, both physically and emotionally. Then there are character's like Haymitch, who you only know after the Hunger Games has changed him. After my journey with Katniss, however, by the time I finished the book, I was forgiving of Haymitch for his alcohol abuse and almost understanding. In fact, if Katniss had decided to become an alcoholic, I can't say I'd blame her.
I also liked how Collins kept Katniss strong, but not infallible. She was a reluctant Mockingjay, she was motivated by hate and revenge, and she voted to hold another Hunger Games. True to life, Collins doesn't provide much explanation for some of Katniss' actions. You just have to guess as to why she does certain things.
Then there's the issue of who Katniss ultimately chose to spend the rest of her life with. How much of it was choice and how much was circumstance? What if Peeta had not gone back to 12 and Gale had? Did she choose Peeta because of the pain they shared? Sure, they had both been subject to horrifying events, but could Katniss truly understand Peeta's point of view, or he hers? Did Katniss blame Gale for the death of her sister? Was that more unforgivable to her than anything Peeta had done? And did Katniss choose Peeta because she loved him, or did she grow to love him after making her choice?
Maybe the answers to these questions are not what's important...maybe some of life's questions can never be answered...and maybe that's okay. Because as Peeta and Katniss have learned, there can be a fine line between what's real and what's not real. The thin thread that holds our lives together can be easily broken by things like excess, fear, hate, and war. But holding fast to simple truths like loyalty, patience, and hope is what kept Katniss, and can keep all of us going.

Trainer Gabrielle Englebrecht has confirmed that Cannyescent will be given the chance to defend his unbeaten record in the 2015 Up And Coming Stakes at Royal Randwick on Saturday.
Cannyescent stamped himself as a horse to follow when he recorded impressive barrier trials win at Warwick Farm on July 10 and Rosehill Gardens on July 21 before he lived up to his trial form with a comfortable win in the Australian Stockyard Company Maiden (1200m) at Goulburn on August 4.
Englebrecht told Racing Ahead that she has been thrilled with the progress that Cannyescent has made in his first preparation and she believes that he is worthy of a chance in a race like the Up And Coming Stakes.
"He is certainly a very nice horse to have in my stable," Englebrecht said.
"We took him to Goulburn with that intention, to give him as easy a win as he could possibly have but he ran into a stronger field than I anticipated down there.
"Kathy was very confident and her judgement was certainly spot on, he didn't have any problems.
"He is just one of these very genuine sort of horses, he tries very hard, he enjoys it and he obviously has a lot of natural ability there.
"It was a pretty effortless win and I hope that he can do something similar in the Up And Coming."
Jockey Kathy O'Hara settled Cannyescent towards the tail of the field in the early stages of the Up And Coming Stakes and he showed an impressive turn-of-foot when he was asked for an extra effort in the straight.
Cannyescent showed that he was capable of coming from last to score a race win, but Englebrecht believes that the son of Canny Lad has a degree of tactical versatility and could be settled closer to the speed in the 2015 Up And Coming Stakes.
"I don't think that he will be the type of horse that is completely one dimensional," Englebrecht said.
"I think that he will be balanced up, comfortable and in a rhythm and he will sprint well whenever he is in the race.
"Being only his second start we are still learning about him and getting to know him, but from what I have seen of him and what I can judge on him at this point of his career I think that he should show that acceleration pretty well."
12 horses were included in the 2015 Up And Coming Stakes nominations and Cannyescent could take on the likes of last start winner Devil Hawk, The Rosebud winner Sebring Sun and J.J. Atkins winner Press Statement.

Student Loan Debt and Delinquency Climbs Amid Fears of Higher-Education Bubble
In a sluggish job market in which consumer debts are generally on the decline, increasing debt from student loans coupled with rising student loan delinquencies might be a sign that a college financing bubble is growing, according to recent data.
Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and Moody's Analytics, a risk measurement and management firm, shows that since the start of the financial crisis debt from student loans has gone up while every other major category of consumer debt has gone down. The data also shows that more student loans are entering delinquency as graduates continue to struggle with high unemployment and shrinking compensation.
While outstanding debt from student loans has climbed 25 percent since the fall of 2008 — from $440 billion to $550 billion now — outstanding mortgage debt, credit card debt, and debt from auto loans and home equity loans has fallen. And while the delinquency rates of mortgage debt, credit card debt, auto loans, and home equity loans have either stayed flat or declined, the rates of student loans that were 90 days or more past due have increased. In the second quarter of 2011, the most recent period for which figures are available, the rate of delinquent student loans increased from 10.6 percent to 11.2 percent ("Student-Loan Delinquencies Rise, Adding To Fears Of An Education Bubble," The Huffington Post, Aug. 17, 2011).
Perhaps most alarming, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported last month that of all federal student loans that entered repayment in 1995, 20 percent have gone into default.
Experts have warned for years that a college financing bubble was developing, fueled by borrowers who take out student loans to pay for college only to become severely burdened with debt after graduation and unable to find a job to repay the loans. And the problem is expected to only get worse.
The median starting salary for a college graduate from the class of 2009 or 2010 is $27,000, down from $30,000 a few years ago. A recent report by Moody's Analytics predicted that over the next few years the trend will cause many students to be "unable to service their loans as income growth falls short of borrowers' expectations."
"Fears of a bubble in educational spending are not without merit," the report cautioned.
Still, there is hope for borrowers of student loans. According to a recent report by the U.S. Department of Labor, the unemployment rate for workers with a college degree was just 4.3 percent in July, almost half that of those with some college (8.3 percent) and less than half that of those with only a high school diploma (9.3 percent). The national average for unemployment was 9.1 percent.

This blog was created with a single purpose of making folks become aware about corrupt
billion dollar student loans business. We built this not only to educate the public
about college conspiracy and everlasting financial burden that Student Loans sets
on us, nonetheless to provide assistance in a form of Student Loan debt settlement.
We are a small team of experts, dedicated to providing superior service and step-by-step
guidance to consumers who seeking to escape from everlasting Student Loans debt.


text: Elbit Systems Ltd. announced that its wholly owned US subsidiary, Elbit Systems of America, was awarded a $9.6 million contract by the US Marine Corps System Command at Quantico, Va., to build the joint terminal attack controller laser target designator (JTAC LTD). The JTAC LTD, which features a high-power near-infrared laser pointer for nighttime conditions, is a lightweight, battery-powered laser target designator and marker. It is small enough to be carried by foot-mobile Marines, enabling them to designate targets for laser-guided munitions. The JTAC LTD incorporates Elbit Systems' miniaturized Rattler designator, currently in full-scale production and implemented on numerous airborne and ground-based programs. The JTAC LTD also provides target hand-off to aircraft laser spot trackers. The system incorporates the latest advances in laser generation and battery power technologies. The entire project, including production, supplying spares and training, will take a year. The contract also contains options for logistics support, which, if exercised, will bring its value to $10.8 million. For more information, visit: www.elbitsystems.com


text: hmm I've noticed that the 64gb version of the SP1 is out of stock everywhere (including the microsoft store). Having said that, has anyone done a warranty exchange recently (say in the last week) for a 64gb SP1? I'm sure they have a slew of replacement units stocked up, but I'm hoping that they'll replace mine with a 128gb SP1 (unlikely) or even a SP2 (very unlikely).

You are here: Home → Forum Home → General → Institute Alumni → Thread
Please provide any input or ideas you may have on what the institute's new Alumni program should entail.
Thanks Robert!
Here are the items I've heard tossed around.
1) Facebook- keeping up with Alumni and those interested in the Institute through Facebook. If we wanted to go deeper than just updating the status and making event announcements, we could link to the Institute newsletter. Which brings us to #2
2) Newsletter- Les, Linda, and I have been talked about a quarterly (to start) newsletter for the Institute. This would be emailed to everyone associated with the Institute, including Alumni, and would recap all the Institute has accomplished and highlight our agenda for the future.
3) LinkedIn- Martha created an Institute Linkedin so that we can all stay connected professionally.
4) Institute Forums- we could always keep this forum open and be sure to keep past alumni permissions to this forum set up so that there is a line of communication with everyone.
What are other ideas that have been tossed around? Do we do all 4, or identify a few to be our primary streams of contact?

Did the New York Times Place Crosshairs on Rand Paul's Photo?
Incidentally, Ed Morrissey notes that Saturday will be the 40th anniversary of Richard Nixon's resignation:
The two concepts in the headline may sound disconnected, but they aren't — and the fact that the connection may not be readily apparent speaks to the lessons unlearned from one of America's most potent political crises. Ron Fournier sympathizes with the difficulties Barack Obama faces on immigration policy, and even with Obama's policy goals. However, Fournier warns that the ends do not justify the means of trampling over the separation of powers and the rule of law:Would it be wrong to end-run Congress? Another way to put it might be, "Would more polarization in Washington and throughout the country be wrong?" How about exponentially more polarization, gridlock, and incivility? If the president goes too far, he owns that disaster. …
Regardless of the justification, acting alone denies Obama a full view of the problem and, with no marriage of ideas, he almost certainly exacerbates the "dangerous impasse" that Brownstein labeled a civil war.
New York Times columnist Ross Douthat argues that this isn't merely a case of a president responding to a do-nothing Congress. "It's limited caesarism as a calculated strategy, intended to both divide the opposition and lay the groundwork for more aggressive unilateralism down the road." If you don't buy any other argument, consider this one: Endowing the presidency with extraordinary power would be an extremely short-sighted and selfish move.
Indeed — and it's not as if we don't already know the dangers of that. By an interesting coincidence, Saturday will be the 40th anniversary of Richard Nixon's resignation, which he tendered when it became obvious that he would be impeached for his abuses of power. In my column for The Fiscal Times, I argue that the real lesson from the scandal was the reminder of the value of limitation on executive power and the rule of law. The rise of "caesarism," which I also quote from Douthat, shows that we have not learned that lesson at all and still love executive power …. when exercised on behalf of our own hobby horses:
The Times, which in recent years has championed the "benefits" of one-party totalitarian government, and as we just saw, the elimination of the Constitution, is in rather poor shape to criticize President Nixon's abuses of power. They're perfectly fine trampling the Constitution -- as long as it's done by their approved president.

This weekend was busy. You know those busy weekends that feel like they drag, and then suddenly, it's Monday? And you're like woah, it's not the weekend anymore. That was this weekend. Old Navy is having their big "Stuff and Save" sale, it's crazy right now! Although I worked quite a bit, I had plenty of time to think (and start Mad Men!).
When I'm at work, I love seeing all the people milling about. I so often wonder about their lives. People always appear so happy when they shop; at least I do. Some people get crabby and I wonder if they're always this snappy. Who knows? I am a person that likes people. But it's confusing, because sometimes, my intuition tells me otherwise. We'll have more on this this week, so stay tuned. Let's get you interested, though....
Are you outgoing, or are you an introvert?
When you're feeling blue, what's therapy for you?
Are you creative? Mathematical and linear? Can you be both?
I hope you had a wonderfully thoughtful weekend! Happy Monday, all!

Thai Bodywork
Thai bodywork is most essentially a meditative dance for sharing compassionate touch in order to unblock energy stagnation. It is a holistic healing technique used as a tool to awaken one's spiritual flame and inner therapist. Coined the "lazy man's yoga" the receiver does very little while the giver stretches and massages the recipient with elbows, knees, forearms and feet.

First and foremost, posts made via Facebook are not searchable. If you were interested in reading about a race from 2 weeks ago, you may have to scroll endlessly through my timeline to find it. Second, there are so many stories in my newsfeed, and so little time to read all of them.

Citation styles
Encyclopedia.com gives you the ability to cite reference entries and articles according to common styles from the Modern Language Association (MLA), The Chicago Manual of Style, and the American Psychological Association (APA).
Within the "Cite this article" tool, pick a style to see how all available information looks when formatted according to that style. Then, copy and paste the text into your bibliography or works cited list.
Because each style has its own formatting nuances that evolve over time and not all information is available for every reference entry or article, Encyclopedia.com cannot guarantee each citation it generates. Therefore, it's best to use Encyclopedia.com citations as a starting point before checking the style against your school or publication's requirements and the most-recent information available at these sites:
Modern Language Association
The Chicago Manual of Style
American Psychological Association
- Most online reference entries and articles do not have page numbers. Therefore, that information is unavailable for most Encyclopedia.com content. However, the date of retrieval is often important. Refer to each style's convention regarding the best way to format page numbers and retrieval dates.
- In addition to the MLA, Chicago, and APA styles, your school, university, publication, or institution may have its own requirements for citations. Therefore, be sure to refer to those guidelines when editing your bibliography or works cited list.

Free screenings were held in Cleveland Thursday to combat a growing medical condition: Diabetes.
There was a Wellness Fair in downtown to help those of us at risk of developing diabetes. Diabetes in Cleveland far exceeds the rest of the nation.
"My numbers actually came out pretty good. It's free," said Frank Kopin.
Frank Kopin is a happy camper. He was diagnosed with diabetes three years ago. So today, when he saw that Rite Aid, which is celebrating its 50th Anniversary, and the Diabetes Partnership were screening people on public square he was all in.
"My doctor says it's like little pieces of glass going through your blood, if you have sugar. That's the way he described it to me and that got my attention," said Frank Kopin.
Staying on top your glucose level with a simple finger stick can be life-saving, especially in Cleveland which has a much higher rate of diabetes than the national average -- one in eight have diabetes.
There's no reason not to get tested. It's quick, near painless and it was free. Every reason to know what your blood sugar level is if you want to live a longer healthier life.
But unfortunately, that's not the case for a growing number of children. They have a ticking time bomb in their bodies just waiting to go off.
If children are overweight early then the diabetes is much more likely that it's going to set in at an earlier age than it would normally. So lots of exercise for kids and proper diet for everybody.
