The Audi A6 Allroad is something of a strange car. Not strange in terms of looks, because it has a prettiness to it's toughened design, but strange in terms of it's positioning as a car.
It's something of a rare breed, combining the practicality of a conventional estate design, with the addition of drive-anywhere extras. It has a lower bodyline than an SUV, so it's not as dominating on the road. But you'll also find four-wheel drive, descent control and variable height suspension, which sets it apart from the vast majority of estates on the road.
At the same time, it maintains a level of luxury and premium sophistication that makes it as comfortable on the road as it is off. You should expect a premium experience too, as the Audi A6 Allroad starts at £43,450, and the model we tested, stuffed full of extras, will cost you £64,740. That's a lot of money, starting the Audi off at around £10k more than its cousin the VW Alltrack.
But it also falls into the price bracket that could see you contemplating premium estates from the likes of BWM or Mercedes, or SUVs across the range such as the Discovery.
Solid design, inside and out
There's something eye-catching about the Audi A6 Allroad. Estates typically lack the sleek lines of saloon cousins, and miss out on the sporty coupe looks that Audi does so well, but this is still a good looking car. With sharper lines running down the side, things are more angular than on previous A6 models.
The Allroad adds an extra level of trim to the A6. The most noticeable is the plastic finish that swells the wheel arches a touch. Then there's the stainless steel under-body guard, that's rather elegant, along with sills to beef things up, including illuminated Allroad detailing leaving no one in doubt about what they're getting into.
It's also capacious. Sit yourself in the back and there's plenty of legroom and headroom. Sure, it doesn't have the cabin space of big offroaders, but adults will be happy and comfortable in the rear and that tantruming 2-year-old in the backseat won't quite be able to reach the driver's seat to kick you in the back.
That runs into the boot too, with ample space for your luggage, and a nod to where this car might find itself driving, kitted out with the optional ski bag (that's a £210 option), which can be posted through the centre of the rear seats for convenience, rather than having to strap them to the roof.
The boot gives you 565 litres of space, a touch smaller than the Passat Alltrack, but large enough for most needs, and our test model featured the powered tailgate, an added convenience when struggling with luggage. It simply takes a press of the keyfob button, or the driver's door button, and the boot will open. Once loaded, a press of the button on the tailgate will see it close again.
On and off the road
The model we had on test was the A6 Allroad 3.0 TDI Quattro 245PS S tronic. That's the middle engine option for the Allroad, with the S tronic 7-speed gearbox. There's a lot of power on offer, taking this beast up to 62mph in 6.6 seconds.
That's only part of the equation, because it's paired with the auto gearbox and Audi's drive modes that change the way the car behaves fairly substantially. We suspect that many will stick to the Auto option most of the time, although you can choose from Allroad, Comfort, Efficiency and Dynamic, too.
These drive modes change the way the power is handled as well as the ride height, which is one of the key points about the A6 Allroad. Select that Allroad mode and the adaptive air suspension lifts the car, giving you greater ground clearance and more travel to soak up bumps and keep the wheels in contact with the ground, when tackling uneven ground.
Although we couldn't test it extensively offroad, we found that the raised body gives a comfortable ride on lumps and bumps and saves you from bone-crunching drops into holes.
Switch over to Dynamic and the car behaves differently. The ride is lowered and the gearbox switches later, giving you greater access to the full rev range. The car then behaves much more like you're driving a manual aggressively. It's great fun when you need that boost of power to accelerate quickly, but in normal town driving it's a little too frantic.
There's also a manual mode which allows you to change gears at will using the paddles behind the steering wheel. This is more likely to appeal to anyone who wants more precise and quick changes, perhaps on a winding mountain road.
Additionally, you can use the paddles to skip up and down the gears when in normal auto driving modes should you temporarily want to get more power - when overtaking, for example.
It all handles very nicely, with the flexibility to cater to your driving needs and that seems to be the point of the Audi A6 Allroad: you're not compromising on power or handling in getting a versatile vehicle. It doesn't wallow in the corners or give you a harsh ride either, because you can constantly change it to suit your requirements.
The cost though, comes in terms of fuel economy. On a 5-hour drive in Auto mode, that took in suburban driving and a swing through central London, we got 30mpg average. Taken to more regular driving in mixed conditions and we saw this rising into the mid-30s, motorway driving in Efficiency mode will see a better return, naturally.
A luxury tech bubble
Slip into the leather interior of the A6 Allroad - our review model had sports seats with Valcona leather in "titanium grey" - and it's every inch a luxury experience. The adjustable heated seats are wonderfully confortable and with the added memory function, you can have the car remember your preferred settings for the seat positions, climate control, mirrors and so on.
Heated seats keep your posterior warm, with the option of having heating in the back. Equally, not only can the front passengers enjoy individual climate control settings, but there's a four-zone option too.
With everyone perfectly comfortable, there's no shortage of other interior technology on offer. Audi's MMI system brings you connectivity, entertainment and navigation, at a cost, and when paired with the Bose sound system, you'll appreciate the audio quality whatever the source.
We say source, because there are plenty of options here too. There's a connector for your iPhone or iPod, Bluetooth, as well as options for CD or DVD drives. That's right, the central display can be used to play movies, but only when the vehicle is stationary. There are two SD card slots to add your own content, making the A6 Allroad something of a multimedia wizard, if you pay for the privilege.
Bluetooth will hook in your mobile phone for calling and music, but if you're using a telephone in the car a lot, you might consider putting your SIM into the slot in the centre console. You can then also turn your A6 into a mobile hotspot with the WLAN option, so you can share your data connection with others in the car - perhaps to surf on an iPad in the back while you drive.
Taking things further there's the option for a Bluetooth phone handset, so your passengers can make calls as you drive. Of course these options will cost you, but you can at least get what you want and it all works very well. The layout of controls is well thought out and the interface is intuitive and easy to negotiate.
The navigation system is pretty good, taking into account things like traffic, although we still prefer the experience that TomTom offers with its HD Traffic and smart IQ Routes. That said, navigation was clear, with the directions displaying in the centre of the driver's display, meaning you never really need to glance at the map in the middle of the car.
Watch those corners
Visibility from the driving seat is good, the seating position, like most estates, gives you good front visibility, but there's a proper blindspot on the driver's nearside. Glance over your shoulder before you change lanes and you'll see headrest, pillars and almost nothing of the road.
The wing mirrors are pretty large however so it's not too bad, but the additional side assist means the car can alert you to passing or nearby vehicles. This is conveyed via an orange light on the inside of the mirror housing, so as you look in the mirror before changing lanes, you'll see it's detected something. It's a system that seems to work, although it feels like the last line of defence. We're reluctant to change from using our own eyes when it comes to manoeuvring.
But it's difficult when Audi make it incredibly easy for you. We love the integrated audio options, we love the automatic wipers and lights, but that's familiar technology. The parking systems, however, feel a little more like some sort of witchcraft.
Front a rear parking sensors will give you the normal audible warning when trying to slot the car into a space, but the top down view is something else. This clever system will map the area all around the car, so you can see yourself on the road. It's not a representation, it's a live image, so as you reverse into a space, you can see how close you are to the neighbouring vehicles, as well as how well spaced you are between the lines.
But you can change the view too, so you can have front and rear cameras, with guidelines as you turn the wheel, or you can view the front or rear corners. It's difficult not to be impressed, but it's an option that will cost you £530 extra.
There's no doubt that the Audi A6 Allroad is an impressive car but we get the feeling that you have to really want that Allroad ability to part with the cash, as you can spec-up a regular A6 Quattro and adaptive air suspension as well. But once you've done so, the prices aren't too dissimilar.
Certainly, if you want a 4WD vehicle, there are cheaper ways to go about it. But what you're paying for in the A6 Allroad is a premium on-road experience and a capable and comfortable off-road experience too. On the road it doesn't feel compromised. Off the road it's not going to have the reassurance of a higher, shorter 4WD vehicle, but then this isn't designed to dominate green lanes; we can't help feeling it's going be spotted on the verges of muddy rugby pitches, or parked on a drive next to a Land Rover Defender.
But then the A6 Allroad is also different. It's something of a statement, setting you aside from the other A6's on the road. The question is whether you can detach yourself from the mysterious status symbol of the premium SUV and opt for an estate that will do it all.

For a guy who has no real problem securing international funding for a talky Don DeLillo adaptation about the perils of cyber-capitalism starring teen idol Robert Pattinson (Cosmopolis, in theatres Friday), Canadian director David Cronenberg sure has trouble funding more ostensibly lucrative projects. First his planned rebooting of The Fly was passed over by Fox, and now Indiewire is reporting that Cronenberg can't get his proposed sequel to his 2006 Russian mob movie, Eastern Promises, off the ground either.
During a New York press junket for Cosmopolis, Cronenberg stated that Eastern Promises 2 is "dead," despite stars Viggo Mortensen and Vincent Cassel and original writer Steven Knight all being wrapped in proverbial tiny bathhouse towels and ready to rumble in the nude again. It's a shame, considering the original's gripping cliffhanger ending, and the possibility of seeing Mortensen decked out in even more symbolic Russian mob tattoos, until he's just one large Russian mob tattoo controlling all post-Soviet crime while also working as an undercover secret agent. Indeed, it's too bad that Hollywood places so much emphasis on originality over anything so artistically bankrupt as sequels and remakes and reboots and stuff.

The northeastern United States is going to get hit again by severe weather.
The National Weather Service has just posted blizzard warnings for the upper east coast from New York City to Boston to Maine.
There are several reasons to be concerned about this storm but the principal one is this: A major snowstorm is forecast to hit the most densely populated corridor of the United States.
Snow accumulations in excess of two feet are possible — totals that are nearly on par with the "Snowmageddon" event that crippled the nation's capital city for the better part of a week in 2010.
Here's a look at total snowfall accumulations forecast for Friday and Saturday by the European forecast model:
From this image, which you can click to enlarge, we can see in excess of two feet of snow is possible for much of Connecticut and parts of Massachusetts.
What is perhaps more troubling is the potential for extreme snowfall rates on Friday evening. The image below shows the three-hour snowfall rate for the period ending at 10 p.m. Friday.
For parts of southern Connecticut we can see that a foot of snow is possible during a three-hour period for areas of southern Connecticut.
That is the kind of weather in which it is extremely hazardous to be out and about. In addition to the heavy snow, north-northeast winds could gust up to 60 mph, says the National Weather Service.
Storm conditions should arrive by midday Friday, but the worst of the event should occur between sunset Friday and sunrise on Saturday morning. Any last minute preparations should be made now.

Stand For Something: Thinking About Brands Across The Full User Experience
In The Duncan Anderson Design Department Gallery at CSULB
If there is ONE thing that ALL brands must do, it is to stand for something and be their authentic selves …and then figure out what that means uniquely for their brand and the way they engage people.
People's relationships with brands are changing. Thought leaders are declaring, "People don't trust brands", "Brands are dead" or "Brands have no control". These mantras are their way of trying to deal with the new dynamics of an information-led, service-driven economy and communities that are demanding increasingly personal connections. But while these arguments are true for some, they are not true for all. Because it is not about directing the attention elsewhere, it is about adding attention elsewhere. It's about working across touch points to create a holistic ecosystem around your brand that is authentic and engaging.
We'll look at innovative brand experiences from top-down to bottom-up development, from big brands to niche experiences, along with special topics such as re-thinking retail, sustainability for the masses, and open-source design and communication. And, through it all, extrapolate how to infuse brand thinking into designing product experiences.
Anna Shaw is energized by the connections between people, brand, sustainability, digital experiences and gender. As the Director of Brand Communication in Smart Design's San Francisco office, she creates compelling, resonant brand experiences that truly work for people. She has spent over 13 years developing and extending brand experiences across myriad markets and touch-points including identities, design language systems, packaging and onscreen platforms for clients such as Logitech, Hitachi, Adiri, LG, and and HP. Whatever the medium, she focuses on visionary expressions that connect with people while firmly delivering on brand strategy.

text: A National Treasure National Garden Clubs' Butterfly Garden is located at the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington, DC. The butterfly garden is one of several elements within the three-acre National Garden whose mission is "to educate visitors about the great diversity of American plants and their importance to the environment; to help connect people to nature; and to demonstrate the relationships between plants, water and humans." After President Reagan signed Proclamation 5574 in 1986 declaring the rose as the National Floral Emblem, Congress authorized the construction of the National Garden in December 1991. The original plan was for the garden to provide visitors to Capital Hill with a place to experience "the diversity of plants, including the rose, our national flower." (P.L. 102-229) A more complex plan developed for the National Garden than was initially envisioned. In 1988, Congress authorized the Architect of the Capitol be responsible for the project. A non-profit, tax-exempt organization, National Fund for the U.S. Botanic Garden (NFUSBG), was established to raise funds for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the National Garden. The garden would feature an Environmental Learning Center; a Water Garden honoring America's First Ladies; a Rose Garden exhibiting varieties of the national flower, the rose; and a Showcase Garden for flora and fauna native to the Mid-Atlantic region. In 1996 National Garden Clubs' proposal for the addition of a Butterfly Garden to the National Garden was welcomed. The area chosen was along Maryland Avenue near the Lawn Terrace. Besides plants that attract butterflies, the plans included a bronze sundial and four benches featuring butterflies and roses. Informational materials would also be provided to educate the public on butterfly gardening. After the acceptance of the Butterfly Garden plans, NGC began fundraising began in 1997. Funds came from donations by NGC garden clubs and individuals, a grant from the Shell Oil Company, and sales of several original, commissioned items to the general membership. It was hoped that the National Garden would be completed at the end of four years. Original plans were to reopen the U.S. Botanic Garden Conservatory, which was undergoing renovation, simultaneously with the National Garden. However, the government's plans changed; and the Conservatory was completed first, reopening in December 2001. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, caused delays as the grounds of the U.S. Botanic Garden were designated as a part of the U.S. Capitol grounds, bringing added restrictions. The added security became a significant factor in the substantial increase in the cost of constructing the National Garden as originally designed. A decision was made to construct the garden in phases. Contracts were signed in March, 2004. Construction of Phase 1 started in April, 2004, which included the Butterfly Garden, the pavers, Rose Garden, Lawn Terrace, Hornbeam Court, pergolas, contouring and ornamental fencing. The official dedication ceremony for the Butterfly Garden was September 29, 2006. Features in the garden include a bronze sundial by Clydetta Flumer of Georgia, which features butterflies and roses, and four butterfly benches. NGC continues to fund the educational Butterfly booklet for children visiting the garden. In addition to the butterfly facts and pictures, there are also activities, crossword puzzles, and a guide for tracking butterflies as they walk through the garden.

The Real Analysis 'Boot Camp' included three excellent mini-courses.
Inapproximability of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (5 lectures)
Johan Håstad (KTH Royal Institute of Technology)
(Lecture I, Lecture II, Lecture III, Lecture IV, Lecture V)
Unlike more traditional 'boot camps' Johan rewarded answers and questions by chocolates (those are unavailable for audience of the video).
Starting from the PCP-theorem (which we will take as given) we show how to design and analyze efficient PCPs for NP-problems. We describe how an efficient PCP using small amounts of randomness can be turned into an inapproximability result for a maximum constraint satisfaction problem where each constraint corresponds to the acceptance criterion of the PCP. We then discuss how to design efficient PCPs with perfect completeness in some interesting cases like proving the hardness of approximating satisfiable instances of 3-Sat.
We go on to discuss gadget construction and how to obtain optimal reductions between approximation problems. We present Chan's result on how to take products of PCPs to get hardness for very sparse CSPs and give some preliminary new results using these predicates as a basis for a gadget reduction.
Finally we discuss approximation in a different measure, and in particular the following problem. Given a (2k+1)-CNF formula which admits an assignment that satisfies k literal in each clause, is it possible to efficiently find a standard satisfying assignment?
Analytic Methods for Supervised Learning (4 lectures)
Adam Klivans (University of Texas, Austin)
(Lecture I, Lecture II, Lecture III, Lecture IV) additional related lecture by Adam on Moment matching polynomials.
In this mini-course we will show how to use tools from analysis and probability (e.g., contraction, surface area and limit theorems) to develop efficient algorithms for supervised learning problems with respect to well-studied probability distributions (e.g., Gaussians). One area of focus will be understanding the minimal assumptions needed for convex relaxations of certain learning problems (thought to be hard in the worst-case) to become tractable.
Introduction to Analysis on the Discrete Cube (4 lectures)
Krzysztof Oleszkiewicz (University of Warsaw)
(Lecture I, Lecture II, Lecture III, Lecture IV) Here are the slides for the lecture which contain material for 1-2 additional lectures.
The basic notions and ideas of analysis on the discrete cube will be discussed, in an elementary and mostly self-contained exposition. These include the Walsh-Fourier expansion, random walk and its connection to the heat semigroup, hypercontractivity and related functional inequalities, influences, the invariance principle and its application to the Majority is Stablest problem. The mini-course will also contain some other applications and examples, as well as several open questions.

Hi Team,
I've got something exciting to share with you about Market Samurai.
We just released an improvement to the SEO Competition module that makes backlink anchor text analysis of web-pages that have a lot of back links much faster, and easier to complete.
This latest update has resulted in a MASSIVE speed increase for completing backlink anchor text analysis.
In one test, we found a 9,400% speed increase. That's a speed up of nearly a factor of 100. In fact, the improvement is even better than that: previously, the more backlinks you analysed, the slower the process went – twice as many backlinks could take nearly four times as long to analyse. Now few pages will take longer than 10 minutes to analyse.
The low-down on backlink analysis
The backlink analysis functionality in Market Samurai allows you to check two items:
- the PageRank of the pages linking to a URL; and
- the text contained within those links – for example, the link in the previous item to Wikipedia has the text "PageRank".
The text is important – this is the most powerful factor Google takes into account when ranking your website for a keyword. So knowing the kinds of keywords being used in links to a page is essential to understand how Google will rank that page.
How do I do backlink analysis with Market Samurai?
First open up a project in Market Samurai and enter the SEO Competition module. Then generate the top results for your keyword or enter your own custom URL.
Now just click on the down-array to the right of the link.
Next, press the Anchor Text Analysis button to see a detailed link-text analysis for that webpage. Alternatively, you could also analyse the PageRanks of the backlinks.
A new window will pop-up showing you the information you asked for.
How much time will this save me?
Well, if you were trying to analyse a webpage with, say:
- 300 backlinks, which in some cases might have taken over 10 minutes, might now take around 1 minute;
- 600 backlinks, which might have taken over 40 minutes, should take around 2 minutes;
- 1000 backlinks, previously taking more than 90 minutes, should take 3 or 4 minutes.
Of course, the exact numbers depend on the page, your internet connection, the speed of your computer, and many other factors.
So, good luck investigating your niches – and please leave a comment if you enjoy this new update or if you have some thoughts on backlink analysis you'd like to share!
P.S. – If you don't own Market Samurai yet, or your Market Samurai trial has expired, you will have lost access to the SEO Competition analysis tools. This means you will not see the benefit of this improvement until you upgrade your copy of Market Samurai to the full version.
If you already own Market Samurai, you can open the software right now and begin benefiting from this improvement.

MWC 15 Special
Right at the moment, Google is holding a mobile-related press conference where it introduced "Voice Actions for Android". Since mobile phones have become more or less modern-day Swiss Army knives and Android phones are a handheld computer, a music player, a notepad, a GPS navigation unit and more, all rolled into one sleek device that fits in the pocket. Even though smartphones do all these new things, the most natural way of interacting with a phone remains what it always has been: Speaking. Therefore Google is pleased to introduce Voice Actions for Android. Voice Actions are a series of spoken commands that let you control your phone using your voice.
Call businesses and contacts, send texts and E-Mail, listen to music, browse the Web and complete common tasks, all just by speaking into your phone. To use Voice Actions, tap the microphone button on the Google search box on your home screen, or press down for a few seconds on the physical search button on your phone to activate the "Speak Now" screen.
Google Voice Actions for Android supports any of the following commands:
Furthermore, Google is also releasing an updated version of the Google search widget for Android. When a user types a local search query, like "Italian restaurants" he'll see suggested restaurants with addresses and ratings. Also, as the queries are typed, users can refine them further by tapping the pencil icon that appears to the right of search suggestions.
Both Voice Actions and the new Google search widget require Android 2.2/Froyo and will be pre-installed with the new Droid 2 from Motorola and Verizon. Voice Actions are currently available for U.S. English speakers only. Other phones with Android 2.2 (like the Nexus One, HTC Evo or the original Droid) can download several app updates from Android Market to get all the latest goodness:
As always, all the applications above are available free of charge!
Cheers ~ Arne

Errani, Vinci win women's doubles title
Melbourne – Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci wore down local hopes Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua 6-2 3-6 6-2 to become the first Italian pair to win the women's doubles at the Australian Open on Friday.
It was a case of second time lucky at Melbourne Park for the Italians, who were denied a maiden grand slam doubles title by Russians Svetlana Kuznetsova and Vera Zvonareva in the final last year.
Errani and Vinci, wearing identical orange skirts and white singlets, captured the decisive break at 3-2 in the third set, and clinched the title on the second match-point when Dellacqua clubbed a backhand wide of the tramlines.
The Italians celebrated their third doubles title in the past four grand slams, after winning last year at Roland Garros and the U.S. Open. – Reuters

text: I been wondering this for a couple years... The famed Mule Deer Unit 270 is bordered to the east and the south by several general tag or unlimited tag areas. So my question is are the monster bucks that are found in 270 located centrally or away from these units? Or are they just hunted in November when they moved out of the high country. It seems to me that at least during the early bow season, one could hunt the adjacent unit, say 211, in the high backcountry that these units share and find a really good buck. I grew up hunting elk in 211, but I have never heard of anyone even trying to do this. Honestly, I saw more whitetails than mule deer but I didn't hunt the backcountry in 211 very much. I have heard of a few stories of people seeing big mule deer bucks in the Pintlers while camping in the summer or bowhunting elk, but again, I have never even heard of anyone specifically attempting to bowhunt mule deer in the Pintler or Sapphire mountains in these units adjacent to such a historically great mule deer unit. So is there an opportunity that no one is taking advantage of or are the monster bucks in 270 just nowhere near these other units?

In addition to the release of the new Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango Hemi-hybrids, the rest of the event featured a what's what of "What's New" from the Chrysler Group. But since there's very little of that we can talk about, without further ado, here's the best of the rest of the Chrysler Group's "What's New?" event over at the
DaimlerChrysler proving grounds over in Chelsea, MI. So let's see — umm — well — err — OK, we've got some amazing photos (from an amazing photographer) of the Dodge Viper SRT10 in both drop-top and coupe form factors (we're starting to believe our Eleanor may be this piece of snake meat, btw) and a gallery of Frank Klegon in all of his product-developing glory. Oh yeah, and there's a press release on the Chrysler Group "Broadening its Powertrain Offensive" after the jump. Have at it boys.
Chrysler Group Broadens Powertrain Offensive
Onslaught of New Initiatives to Result in Significantly Improved Fuel Efficiency
* Mild-hybrid technology to debut in future Chrysler Group vehicle
* Chrysler two-mode hybrid program to expand
* 2009 Jeep® Grand Cherokee BLUETEC: another 50-state clean diesel from Chrysler Group
* Company to explore development of 4-cylinder diesel for North American market, and expansion of 3.0-liter V-6 diesel
* New V-6 family of engines to include Multi-displacement System (MDS), resulting in fuel economy gain of 6 to 8 percent
* Significantly upgraded 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8
* New 4.7-liter V-8 delivers 5-percent fuel economy improvement
* Dual-clutch transmission to result in fuel economy improvement of up to 6 percent
* Common axle program to improve fuel economy, axle efficiency and costs
* Weight reduction, aerodynamic and drivetrain improvements to raise fuel economy 5 percent
Chelsea, Mich, Jun 21, 2007 -
Chrysler Group's Powertrain Offensive took a major leap forward today when Frank Klegon, Executive Vice President - Product Development, announced a barrage of new initiatives targeted solely at improving the fuel efficiency of future Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge vehicles.
Among the fuel-efficient initiatives are a commitment to developing mild-hybrid technology and expanding the company's two-mode hybrid program; new six- and eight-cylinder gasoline engines — including cylinder-deactivation in a V-6; dual-clutch transmission technology; a common axle program; weight reduction, aerodynamic and drivetrain initiatives; and another BLUETEC clean-diesel vehicle.
Additionally, the company announced it is exploring the development of a 4-cylinder diesel engine for the North American market, and the expansion of its 3.0-liter V-6 diesel engine.
"Chrysler Group is focused directly on improving fuel efficiency across our vehicle lineup," Klegon said. "We have developed and are implementing a series of major initiatives — including a bigger push in hybrid and clean-diesel technology — to meet the needs of American consumers.
"Many of these fuel-efficiency initiatives will be incorporated simultaneously into a single vehicle family — our new V-6 with Multi-displacement System (MDS) mated to a dual-clutch transmission, for example — ultimately resulting in double-digit-percentage fuel-economy gains."
Mild Hybrid
Within the next few years, Chrysler will offer a mild-hybrid powertrain in a Chrysler Group vehicle.
Mild-hybrid vehicles provide many of the benefits of hybrid technology, with less of the cost/weight penalty that is incurred by installing a full hybrid drivetrain. Mild hybrids allow the vehicle's engine to be turned off at stops. Regenerative braking stores energy that would normally be lost. Accessories can continue to run on electrical power while the engine is off. An electric motor assist results in significant fuel efficiency gains.
Two-mode Hybrid
Chrysler Group announced today that its two-mode hybrid program will expand beyond the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid and Dodge Durango Hybrid, which debut next year.
Chrysler Group's two-mode hybrid system leapfrogs current technology by addressing inefficiencies that exist in high-speed driving with traditional hybrid technology. The result will be a 25-percent improvement in fuel efficiency overall — and nearly 40 percent in the city — in the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid and Dodge Durango Hybrid.
The new Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango Hybrid vehicles can be powered either by the electric motor or by the 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 engine with MDS — or a combination of the two. When full power is needed, the system automatically adjusts for passing, driving steep grades or hauling a trailer. The result is trend-setting hybrid technology that provides superior fuel economy, performance and load-carrying capability.
Another BLUETEC 50-state Clean-diesel Vehicle
The 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee will join the 2007 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty as Chrysler Group's 50-state, clean-diesel BLUETEC vehicles.
BLUETEC brings together a host of technologies for diesel passenger vehicles, beginning with completely modern, efficient diesel engines and a focus on "denoxing" to reduce nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases. The result is clean-diesel technology in vehicles that meet 50-state emissions standards for 2010.
Future Diesel Considerations
Chrysler Group announced today that it is exploring additional penetration of its 3.0-liter V-6 common-rail diesel (CRD) engine — currently in the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee — and the possibility of a four-cylinder diesel engine for the North American market.
The company's current diesel lineup includes Dodge Sprinter, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Ram Heavy Duty.
Earlier this year, Chrysler Group announced that an all-new Cummins turbodiesel engine will be available in light-duty pickup trucks after 2009. Along with generous power and low-end torque, the new engine will provide up to 30-percent improvement in fuel efficiency and a 20-percent reduction in CO2 emissions compared to an equivalent gasoline engine.
V-6 Engine Family With Cylinder Deactivation
In February, Chrysler Group announced that an all-new family of engines — known as "Phoenix" — will join the Chrysler Group lineup in 2010. Since then, the company has broken ground on new plants in Trenton, Mich., Kenosha, Wis., and Mexico — all of which will produce this family of engines.
The company announced today that this new family of V-6 engines will feature cylinder deactivation (MDS). Specifically, this means the engine will operate efficiently on three cylinders when less power is needed, and in V-6 mode when more power is needed. This optimizes fuel economy when V-6 power is not required — without sacrificing vehicle performance or capability.
The new family of V-6 engines will feature an aluminum die cast block, dual variable valve timing (VVT) and a two-stage oil pump, among other technologies. The end result is an expected across-the-board V-6 fuel efficiency improvement of 6 to 8 percent — in addition to new levels of V-6 power, performance and refinement.
Significantly Upgraded 5.7-liter HEMI V-8
For 2009, Chrysler Group will deliver a significantly upgraded version of its renowned 5.7-liter HEMI V-8, resulting in notable gains in fuel efficiency, refinement, power and torque.
New 4.7-liter V-8
The new 4.7-liter V-8 offers up to 5 percent better fuel economy than the previous 4.7-liter engine.
At the same time, this E85 flex-fuel engine delivers increased performance and improved refinement. These improvements come from the 4.7-lter V-8's two spark plugs per cylinder (the only Chrysler Group engine to do so, other than the 5.7-liter HEMI), increased compression ratio, improved cylinder-head port flow and new combustion system.
In addition to improved fuel economy, the result is a 30-percent increase in horsepower and a 10-percent increase in torque (up to 75 additional horsepower and 35 more lb.-ft. of torque, depending on application) compared with the previous 4.7-liter V-8 engine.
Dual-clutch Transmission Technology
A new dual-clutch transmission — developed in partnership with Getrag — joins the Chrysler Group lineup in significant volumes in 2010 model-year vehicles.
The new dual-clutch transmission is expected to deliver a fuel economy improvement of up to six percent, based on preliminary testing.
The new transmission is equipped with two independent lay-shaft style gear sets with separate clutches, using manual transmission-based components. During shifts, the next gear is anticipated and pre-selected. Then one clutch is opened while the other is closed, allowing shifting without torque interruption. The result is quicker acceleration and refined shift quality.
Common Axle Program
New common axle technology will result in fuel-economy and axle-efficiency gains, while providing weight savings, cost reduction, increased refinement and less complexity. New advanced materials increase overall axle strength and reduce package size.
Already featured in the Chrysler 300C SRT8, this axle will soon move to other Chrysler Group vehicles.
Aerodynamic, weight reduction and drivetrain improvements Chrysler Group announced today that a new set of initiatives are in place to improve fuel efficiency across its vehicle lineup by at least five percent. These initiatives include weight reduction, aerodynamic drag improvements, reduced rolling resistance and brake drag, optimized accessory loads, and minimized drivetrain losses.

Judge restricts cellphone use for man accused of posing as news photographer
Gary Medrow charged with telephone harassment, disorderly conduct
A man who allegedly posed as a news photographer and tried to meet up with high school girls appeared in court Monday afternoon, where a judge placed restrictions on who he can call.
Without much reaction to the proceedings, 68-year-old Gary Medrow appeared by video screen in an Ozaukee County courtroom.
He is charged with two counts of telephone harassment and one count of disorderly conduct for allegedly posing as a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel photographer on the phone with teenage girls.
According to the criminal complaint, Ozaukee County officials became aware of the case after an employee of Cedarburg High School contacted the Journal Sentinel.
In court, prosecutors asked that Medrow's bail be set at $4,000, but at the defense attorney's request, Judge Sandy Williams set bail at $500, with the condition that Medrow not use a cellphone.
Williams asked Medrow if he understood.
"When can you use a phone?" Williams asked.
"Only for emergency purposes, or to make a call to a person that I know? Is that correct?" Medrow asked.
"And you cannot make a call if that person is under 18," Williams said.
"Yes, ma'am, I understand that," Medrow said.
It does not appear Medrow actually met with any of the teens. He lives with his mother and does not have a job.
It's still unclear what Medrow intended to do with the teens if he had met up with them.
Medrow has a long history of misdemeanor arrests dating back to the 1970s.

Lethal and Ciampa start off going face to face, and Lethal takes Ciampa down and outwrestles him before getting to his feet and breaking clean. Ciampa comes back with a shoulderblock off the ropes, but Lethal gets a hiptoss and a dropkick to again frustrate Ciampa. Rhino tags in and immediately begins overpowering Lethal with the heavy offense, but Lethal with the Tajiri handspring elbow for 1. Homicide tags in and starts firing right hands at Rhino, but Rhino simply boots him in the gut and flattens him with a press slam. Homicide comes back with a tornado DDT, but Ciampa tags in and goes nuts beating Homicide down in the corner with boots and right hands, but Homicide drills Ciampa with a clothesline and tags out to Lethal for a double team flying elbow. Lethal winds up on the ring apron and Rhino distracts him long enough for Ciampa to dropkick him to the floor where Rhino works him over and rolls him back inside so Ciampa can get a 2 count. Ciampa and Lethal trade chops, but Ciampa springs from a seated position and dropkicks Lethal's knee out from under him, which was pretty impressive. Rhino comes in now and unloads on Lethal with multiple short clotheslines and covers for 2, then tosses Lethal with a belly to belly suplex. Rhino sets for the gore, but Lethal moves out of the way and lays Rhino out with a superkick. Lethal makes the hot tag to Homicide, who comes in and goes to work on Ciampa with rolling vertical suplexes and a t-bone suplex for 2. Rhino comes in and takes a flying headscissors that sends him to the floor where Homicide wipes him out with a tope con hello. Homicide heads back in and Ciampa nearly pins him with a northern lights suplex and then kills Homicide with a succession of running knees in the corner. Ciampa goes for the powerbomb over the knees, but Homicide blocks and hits an Ace Crusher for 2. Rhino tries to come in and go after Homicide, but Lethal clotheslines him out to the floor. Homicide goes for the Cop Killa, but Ciampa blocks and hits the powerbomb over the knees for the win.
Winners: Tommaso Ciampa & Rhino
The entire Embassy starts putting the boots to Homicide in the middle of the ring, but Lethal runs in with the TV Title belt and starts swinging wildly to clear the Embassy out to the floor where they celebrate in the entryway.
Mike Bennett vs Shelton Benjamin
Shelton is, of course, one half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions, and he easily outwrestles Bennett at the start. Bennett responds by trying to fight Shelton, but winds up on the short end of that stick as well and bails out to the floor to confer with Brutal Bob Evans. Bennett in and takes Shelton down with a running shoulderblock, but Shelton hits a hiptoss and Bennett rolls back to the floor. Shleton goes after him this time and chases him around ringside, but Evans grabs Shelton's ankle on the way back into the ring, allowing Bennett to baseball slide Shelton to the floor and then side suplex him on the ring apron. Bennett pounces like a shark raining down right hands on Shelton and hitting a snap suplex for 2. Bennett goes to a chinlock, Shelton fights his way out and tries to boot Bennett in the face, but Bennett grabs his leg and wraps him up in the ropes where he hits a nice backbreaker. Crowd chants "you can't wrestle" at Bennett as he tries for a vertical suplex, and Shleton capitalizes on the distraction by rolling Bennett up in a small package for 2, and Bennett immediately regains his feet and dropkicks Shelton square in the jaw, then yells "Who can't wrestle now?" at the crowd. Shelton counters a vertical suplex to a neckbreaker and they start trading blows. Shelton comes out on top and whips Bennett to the ropes for a BIG backbreaker and starts rolling over him with clotheslines and hits a fallaway slam for 2. Shelton with a Sky High for 2 and then he motions that he's getting ready to put Bennett away and goes for Paydirt, but Bennett catches him in midair and counters to a backbreaker for 2. Excellent counter, and Bennett follows up with a missile dropkick for 2. Bennett goes for the Side Effect, Shelton counters to a victory roll for 2, then nearly German suplexes Bennett out of his shoes. Shelton covers and Evans puts Bennett's foot on the bottom rope, Shelton chases Evans into the ring and superkicks him, superkicks Bennett, and hits Paydirt for the win.
Winner: Shelton Benjamin
Great match, both guys looked good in there. Bennett has a great right hand and he got a good chance to show it off here with all the punch exchanges.
Elimination Match: Bravado Brothers vs Future Shock vs Young Bucks
This will be a lot of fun to try and recap. Bravados attack Future Shock to start, but they wind up on the floor and everyone does dive after dive to the floor like this was 2003. O'Reilly comes out of nowhere and kills Lancelot with his diving dropkick off the apron, then they go back inside to go face to face with the Bucks, but Lancelot comes back in to interrupt and gets pummeled with kicks from O'Reilly. Cole tags in and hits a running dropkick followed by a springboard splash by Nick Jackson for 2. Nick dropkicks Harlem out to the floor, then everyone else takes free shots at Lancelot, but Harlem comes in and big boots everyone in sight. Harlem covers Cole for 1, then hits a brainbuster for 2. Cole with a crucifix out of nowhere for 2, but the Bravados with the double team enziguiri/German suplex for 2. Matt Jackson comes in and hits a combination Guile kick/Sliced Bread #2 on the Bravados, then Nick hits a slingshot facebuster. Nick slides out to the apron to try and moonsault to the outside, but O'Reilly catches him on his shoulders so Cole can hit a dive through the ropes. Nick vertical suplexes Lancelot to the floor, and Future Shock hits Shocking Elimination on Harlem to eliminate the Bravados.
The Bravado Brothers are eliminated.
It's down to the Bucks and Future Shock, and the Bucks take the advantage with Max repeatedly powerbombing Cole, powerbombing him into the corner, and then hitting a double team Tombstone on Cole for 2 when O'Reilly makes the save. O'Reilly begins cleaninghouse on both Bucks, suplexes Matt, then gets his knees up on a Nick splash attempt and locks him in a triangle choke while Cole gets Matt in a fron guillotine choke. Matt rams into O'Reilly and Nick to break both holds as the crowd chants "this is wrestling" at the remaining teams, and they go back and forth firing superkicks at each other until all four men are down. Future Shock go for their finisher, but Nick pulls down the top rope and O'Reilly sails out to the floor, allowing the Bucks to hit More Bang For Your Buck on Cole for the win.
Winners: Young Bucks
This was an awesome showing of athleticism, you had three hungry young teams going out there and leaving it all in the ring. I really enjoyed this because these are the kinds of matches and feuds that make young tag teams. Cole & O'Reilly stick their hands out to the Bucks, but the Bucks just walk off because they don't shake hands.

It started two weeks ago when my best friend of almost 20 years (wow, it's really been that long) suddenly lost her unborn baby girl. She was about 6 months pregnant so this came as a complete shock. All I could do was just be there for her, cry with her, hug her....just be there. My friend joked as I laid in the hospital bed with her that she wanted to spend more time with me before I left, but she didn't expect it to be that way. I was just glad that I could be there and I wasn't on the other side of the U.S. when it happened. But that also made saying good-bye even more difficult!
The next week it was time to say good-bye to my 5th graders. If you have ever taught 5th grade (at least in my neck of the woods) that last day is a cry fest. This was my first year experiencing it all, and man it was rough. With the final moments of that last day drawing near my class (which has been a tough one) sat in a large circle. Before I could even talk the girls were crying (some so much that I had to talk even louder). I gave them a little speech about looking around the room and remembering each and every one of their classmates, to never forget the times they had together in my class and possibly even previous classes. To never forget each other and how at one time they were all friends and classmates; not to let middle school or even high school change that, even though they may find/make new friends, be in different sports or clubs, but never to forget this moment; because they never know when they may need each other or that person sitting next to them; as I had found out the previous week.
As we prepared to take the "last walk" down the halls and to their buses...on my right I had my most challenging student of the school year. The student that actually was the first to ever "boo" me in class, a student that when I pushed her she pushed back! But in the end she proudly stated: "This is the first year I won't have to attend summer school in my entire elementary school career!" She cried the hardest! On my left was a student that challenged me every day. She asked a million questions, all of which I was happy to answer (even if I had to research a little). I had never had a student who's desire to learn was so strong. She will one day inspire me with her creativity and passion. We held hands and walked together, crying.
Waving good-bye to the buses!
The week came to an end I had to say yet another difficult good-bye; to two of my closest co-teachers. I wouldn't have believed it if you told me a year ago that the three of us would have grown so close to each other. We really worked well with each other and complimented each other. And yet we only got the chance to work together one school year. And now we were all three going in different directions; one to a new position, another to a different school district, and then I was leaving the state all together! At one point we were just standing there staring at each other in disbelief. I know we will all stay in touch, and we have a bond that is hard to describe, but that didn't make it any easier! I'm just lucky I got the privilege to work with these two ladies and call them my friends!
I totally rocked this photo bomb!
Us at the fifth grade dance...I designed our class shirts!
Once those good-byes were said and done I began having to say bye to my family. My sister and brother flew in so that the four siblings could have last weekend together. My brother just got a job in Texas and is now there, my one sister has lived in Ohio since graduating from OSU, my younger sister will be staying in GA, and I will be moving to Oregon. We had a great long weekend together and got to do some fun things, but this time saying good-bye was a lot harder than it has ever been, maybe because we are older now or that we have kids...but it sure wasn't easy!
This last week I spend running errands, packing boxes and shipping them, and having a few last play dates with my daughter's friends and of course their parents. I also had to say good-bye to my friends from my previous school...again. Even though I had left there over two years ago we stayed in contact and met each other for lunch or dinner from time to time. My daughter had her final Chic-fil-a play date today and thank goodness for sunglasses...because once again the tears rolled as we walked out the door.
We have had playdates with this group since before they were born! Seriously I think we went on a triple date when two of us were preggers! Oh how they have grown!
So now "It's real!" we fly out tomorrow, the bags are ready to go...and yep you bet I am rockin' the chevron luggage! I'm sure there will be more tears at the airport, but I know this is what we are to be doing. This is a new and exciting chapter for us...and as I keep telling my friends and myself "we have facebook!!!!"
Great news...I DO HAVE A JOB!!!! That in itself is a whole 'nother post!
