QOTD: Farewell To The Body-On-Frame SUV? | The Truth About Cars

Pictures of the ?production? version of the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, which looks about the same as the ?concept? version unveiled at Detroit in January. And along with the reveal, another body-on-frame SUV bites the dust.

Having driven the Infiniti JX (essentially, a really nice 2013 Pathfinder), I?m not at all concerned; the Pathfinder has become yet another toddler taxi. The most extreme situations it will ever see is a gravel driveway. This is a ?truck? that needs to compete against the Honda Pilot and the Toyota Highlander ? not to mention the Ford Explorer, which seems to be doing just fine with a unibody layout.

The body-on-frame SUV is a species in decline. Part of it is obviously cost considerations. There are perfectly good car platforms out there that can be used to create perfectly good, car-like crossovers. But how much of it is because these car-based SUVs are competent enough that having a body-on-frame design doesn?t matter? We can throw out arguments about towing, or off-road prowess, but very few of these vehicles will ever be used for those duties, and even then, they are often strong enough to fulfill the 99 percent of owner expectations.

So, my dear readers, here?s my question; how much of the lamenting of the body-on-frame SUV and its apparent superiority is merely cooked up in the hearts and minds of truck fans, longing for a bygone era? Or am I missing the mark?

(AP) ? Nearly 1 in 5 New Jersey households that received emergency food stamps after Tropical Storm Irene crashed into the state last year were ineligible for the benefits, a review found, the result of a mix of mistakes, confusion and fraud as some rushed to cash in what was a new program for the state.

The emergency Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, now known as D-SNAP, has been around for nearly 40 years as one of the federal government's ways to provide food in disasters. While other states have used it before, New Jersey activated D-SNAP for the first time as a result of the scope of Irene, which caused widespread wind damage, power outages affecting nearly 2 million homes and massive flooding after it hit the state just barely below a hurricane level last August.

As word spread about the extra food stamp aid, government officials said, thousands of people who were ineligible rushed to cash in in some communities, including areas not hard-hit by the storm.

"It's whisper down the lane," said New Jersey Human Services spokeswoman Nicole Brossoie. "Folks came and lined up believing they were eligible for a program."

The total cost of benefits to New Jersey residents was $38.3 million ? a fraction of the $145 million allocated in the state in federal housing aid after Irene. The average award for households already receiving food stamps was $171. Those not already receiving the benefits got an average of $559.

The federal government pays for the benefits and half the administrative costs. County social service agencies, charged with administering the program in New Jersey, found themselves overwhelmed as they did their regular work while also trying to process large numbers of claims.

In Burlington County, officials complained about a surge of applicants from Willingboro, a community that did not have heavy storm damage. Brossoie said similar reports came in from other regions.

Burlington County believes it could have rejected a large number of applications as either inaccurate or false if it had authorization and resources to better scrutinize them, social services director Daniel Boas said.

In its report to the federal government, obtained by The Associated Press, the Human Services Department said it reviewed 281 randomly chosen households that received the special aid, finding that 51 ? or about 18 percent ? were ineligible. Those found ineligible are being asked to repay the cost of the benefits they received. The state could claim federal tax refunds for those who do not pay what they owe.

There was no estimate of the cost of improperly awarded benefits. There was also no calculation of how many were due to errors by the county social-services officials running the program and how many were due to application errors or fraud.

The state's report cited a number of challenges in running the program in New Jersey for the first time. It noted that it took until February before every county could finish processing the last of the applications, which were supposed to have been handled in September.

Marybeth Schaedel, assistant director of the state's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, said New Jersey ran "a pretty good program" under difficult circumstances.

"For it to be your first disaster and you have it statewide, I never thought that's how we would be implementing a D-SNAP program," Schaedel said. "The whole state was declared a disaster."

The state report offers ways New Jersey can do better next time D-SNAP is operated here. It does not place blame on any specific people for the shortcomings. Its recommendations call for clearer forms for applicants to fill out, annual reviews of procedures by county social services officials and daily meetings of the staffs taking applications.

In its handbook about the program, the federal government advises states that it can take a week or more of training to prepare staff for the work involved in running a D-SNAP program.

Under the program, people already receiving government food aid may get benefits increased for one month up to the maximum for their family size. For a single person, the limit last year was $200 monthly; for a family of four, it was $668.

Households not receiving food stamps may receive the same benefits if they meet criteria for income and storm-related expenses.

In the state, nearly 62,000 households already receiving food stamps saw their benefits increased automatically because they lived in areas with flooding and power outages. More than 49,000 more households, including some already on food stamps, received additional benefits after reporting damage or lost income.

The state said 6,600 applicants were rejected. Schaedel said additional would-be applicants were stopped from applying in counties other than the ones in which they lived.

Alyn G. Kiel, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees the emergency food program, said that because circumstances are different with each D-SNAP activation, error rates should not be compared.

Walmart Neighborhood Market opens in Huntington Beach, California

RBR Staff Writer
Published 30 July 2012

Retail giant Walmart Stores has unveiled California?s first Walmart Neighborhood Market at 21132 Beach Blvd in Huntington Beach on 27 July 2012.

Walmart's new shop features a self-serve deli, a wide variety of locally-grown fruits and vegetables, as well as meats, cheeses and prepared foods.

The retail outlet, which is the fourth to open on the West Coast, occupies a former Rite-Aid location on Beach Promenade that has been vacant for two years.

The new 31,000ft? store provides convenient location to shop for all groceries, including fresh produce.

Huntington Beach Mayor Don Hansen said, "With the approximately 65 jobs it is expected to create, the tax revenue it will generate, and the convenient access to fresh groceries it will provide, the Neighborhood Market is a welcome addition to our city."

Walmart Neighborhood Market, first opened in 1998, operates close to 200 stores across the country and plans to add about 80 more this fiscal year.

ACP and SGIM find the PCMH model aligns with principles of medical ethics and professionalism

American College of Physicians

PHILADELPHIA, July 30, 2012 -- The American College of Physicians (ACP) and the Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) explore the ethical dimensions of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) in a new position paper published by the Journal of General Internal Medicine: "The Patient-Centered Medical Home: An Ethical Analysis of Principles and Practice." The text is also available on ACP's website (http://www.acponline.org/running_practice/ethics/issues/policy/).

"The PCMH model of care aligns well with the traditional principles of medical ethics and professionalism, including the duty to promote the good and act in the best interest of the patient, the duty to do no harm to the patient, and respect for patient autonomy," said David L. Bronson, MD, FACP, president, ACP. "This position paper highlights some of the practical choices and implications of PCMH design and implementation that should be considered to ensure that this model of care becomes a key ingredient in better health care for patients."

In the paper, ACP and SGIM examine how the PCMH meets four fundamental ethical principles by facilitating:

  • a patient-centered approach to care, which reaffirms the core principles of medical ethics and professionalism
  • access to a personal physician who provides coordinated comprehensive care through an integrated team
  • involvement of patients, families, and caregivers in care, thereby supporting respect for patient wishes and autonomy
  • practice-based system improvement and explicit attention to quality

"The extent to which the practical implementation of the PCMH achieves ethical goals is likely to depend significantly on design features, such as the structure of physician payment and the measurement of patient satisfaction and experience, quality of care and patient outcomes, cost of care, and further health care reform," said Ann B. Nattinger, MD, MPH, president, SGIM.

Noting that many Americans are currently "medically homeless" and patients without access to care face a "perilous journey" as they try to navigate the health care system, the PCMH holds promise to substantively rectify this situation, bringing the health care system closer to the ideals of medical ethics and professionalism, ACP and SGIM say in the paper.

The organizations also note practical barriers to meeting some goals. For example, access to a personal physician responsible for coordination of care presents a challenge because of the shortage of primary care physicians.

ACP and SGIM say that the PCMH strongly supports the "bedrock principle" of patient autonomy because the concept of patient-centeredness that forms its foundation emphasizes patient engagement, provision of health information to patients, and involvement of patients in shared decision making.

By integrating system improvements into the practice environment, the PCMH could help physicians meet the ethical obligations for quality improvement and patient safety, ACP and SGIM say.

Man arrested after trying to hide gun in planter

(AP) ? An Oregon man has been arrested after airport authorities saw him trying to hide his gun in a planter box so he could retrieve it upon his return.

The Oregonian reports that 69-year-old Soren Muir Johnson of Eagle Point was arrested for investigation of reckless endangering.

Transportation Security Administration employees say he was told he couldn't carry his loaded weapon through a security checkpoint and that he should put it in his luggage instead.

They say that they watched as he disregarded that advice and instead dropped the .22-caliber pistol in an airport planter box on June 24.

Port of Portland spokesman Steve Johnson says police recovered the gun. Police say the man told them he hid the gun so he could retrieve it when he returned from his trip.

Chinese firm to buy Hawker Beechcraft

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) ? Struggling aircraft maker Hawker Beechcraft announced Monday that it had reached a $1.79 billion "exclusivity agreement" with a Chinese aerospace manufacturer for the sale of its business jet and general aviation operations in a deal that will save thousands of jobs in Kansas and Arkansas.

Under the agreement Beijing-based aerospace manufacturer Superior Aviation Beijing Co., Ltd., will buy Hawker Beechcraft and make payments over the next six weeks to support ongoing operations until the deal is finalized.

The sale does not include Hawker Beechcraft Defense Co., which will remain a separate entity.

If the transaction is completed, Superior intends to maintain Hawker Beechcraft's existing operations while putting "substantial capital" into the company and its business and general aviation product line, saving thousands of American jobs, the company said.

Hawker Beechcraft filed for bankruptcy protection in May to expedite a prearranged restructuring of the company and some of its subsidiaries. Hawker Beechcraft Corp., which is owned by GS Capital Partners and Onex Partners, has struggled with tepid demand for its military planes and business jets.

The company employs about 7,400 people, with roughly 4,700 working at its Wichita, Kan., facility. It also has factories in Little Rock, Ark., the U.K. and Mexico, as well as more than 100 service centers worldwide.

Steve Rooney, president of the local for the machinists union, did not immediately return a call for comment.

Robert Miller, CEO of Hawker Beechcraft Inc., said in a news release that Superior first approached Hawker Beechcraft years ago regarding a potential partnership. He cited Superior's "demonstrated ability to quickly restore a business to profitability after emerging from Chapter 11" and said a transaction with Superior would maximize value for Hawker Beechcraft and its stakeholders.

"Importantly, this combination would give Hawker Beechcraft greater access to the Chinese business and general aviation marketplace, which is forecast to grow more than 10 percent a year for the next 10 to 15 years," Miller said.

Bill Boisture, chairman of Hawker Beechcraft Corp., said Superior's bid for the company was the most attractive received during Hawker's strategic review. Its plan also offered the most continuity for Hawker Beechcraft, allowing the company to preserve jobs and product lines and maintain commitments to customers.

Under the agreement, Superior intends to make Hawker Beechcraft its flagship investment, maintain its U.S. headquarters, management team and employees and continue product development throughout its lines. If the parties negotiate a definitive agreement during the 45-day exclusivity period, it would be subject to an auction, Hawker said.

While neither ownership nor control of Hawker Beechcraft Defense Co., will transfer to Superior, up to $400 million of the $1.79 billion purchase price will be refundable to Superior in the event HBDC is sold.

The deal is also subject to regulatory approvals from the Chinese and U.S. officials. Bankruptcy court approval is also required.

If the deal collapses, Hawker Beechcraft said it will proceed with its bankruptcy reorganization plan to emerge as a stand-alone company.

Superior Aviation is 60 percent owned by Beijing Superior Aviation Technology Corp., Ltd, a closely held private entity, and 40 percent by Beijing E-Town International Investment & Development Corp., Ltd, a company controlled by the Beijing municipal government.

Since its founding and highly leveraged 2007 purchase of Raytheon Aircraft, Hawker Beechcraft has carried a heavy debt burden, reporting total debt of $2.3 billion at the end of 2011, according to its annual statement to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Hawker Beechcraft said that the proposed combination of Hawker Beechcraft and Superior "will not require a financing condition."

In December 2010, Hawker Beechcraft struck a deal with state and local officials to keep its aircraft operations and at least 4,000 jobs in Kansas until 2020 in exchange for $45 million in incentives.

On Monday, the only comment from the Kan. Gov. Sam Brownback's office was a one-line response sent in an email: "The state is following the situation closely."

Also monitoring the situation are city leaders in Wichita, who also issued a brief statement saying they would work diligently to protect the city's investment and aviation jobs.

"At this time, the City is working to gain a better understanding of how the proposed acquisition may impact our community," Mayor Carl Brewer said. "We understand the financial challenges Hawker has faced and are optimistic this acquisition could preserve jobs and help Hawker avoid difficult financial decisions."

Hawker Beechcraft traces its Kansas roots to Beech Aircraft Corp., a company founded by Walter and Olive Ann Beech that began making aircraft in the 1930s.

Florida Football 100 For 100, No. 87: Sharrif Floyd, Florida's Lone Awards Hope?

Josh Evans holds up the number of Florida players on the Maxwell and Bednarik watch lists.

Last year, we tried 50 For 50, and got halfway done before things cropped up. This year, Alligator Army is coming back with 100 For 100, with 100 articles in the 100 days leading up to the first Florida Gators football game of the 2012 season, and will run down storylines, profile players, examine history, and make some predictions, possibly all haphazardly. The only thing we can promise is that each day's entry will bring us all one step closer to "Herrrrrrrrre ... come the Gators!"

And maybe that you'll get a couple of these a day for the next week or so.

Remember when Tim Tebow was all over every awards list, and seemingly spent most of the Decembers of his last three seasons in Gainesvile at awards banquets? That's not so much the case today.

The Maxwell and Bednarik Award watch lists are both out today, and the only Gators player on either list is Sharrif Floyd, who makes the Bednarik list. Floyd is arguably the most talented player on Florida's roster, quick and powerful up front ? I know FlaGators really likes his talents, but I think he's still impaneled, and thus will not be able to back this up. But the chances Floyd has the sort of season that wins him the Bednarik Award seem slim to me.

There's significant stupidity inherent in preseason watch lists: It would be silly to name just a few players, and it's sillier still to name 65 players as "watch list" representatives, because that results in guys like Curtis McNeal (1,005 rushing yards for USC last year!) and Johnathan Franklin (you could have given me his conference and five guesses and I wouldn't have known what team he played for) being put on par with Montee Ball, Landry Jones, Denard Robinson, and Tyler Wilson.

But a team only having a few players on those watch lists says that few think that team has elite talent. It'll be up to Floyd and the Gators to prove otherwise.
