For years now, the top Canadian sellers in the highly popular and lucrative compact crossover category have been the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, and behind them the Nissan Rogue, Ford Escape, Mazda CX-5 and… Hyundai Tucson. With the release of the newly-refreshed Tucson, could Hyundai be in a position to challenge for one of the top spots? The short answer is yes.

Anchorage: Federal marine biologists for the first time have recorded singing by one of the rarest whales on the planet, the North Pacific right whale. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration researchers used moored acoustic recorders to capture repeated patterns of calls made by male North Pacific right whales. It’s the first time right whale songs in any population have been documented, NOAA Fisheries marine biologist Jessica Crance says. She spoke to southern right whale and North Atlantic right whale experts to confirm that singing had not previously been documented. Researchers detected four distinct songs over eight years at five locations in the Bering Sea off Alaska’s southwest coast, Crance says. Only about 30 of the animals remain. Whalers nearly wiped out the slow-moving whales, which remain buoyant after they are killed.

This was once a reasonable strategy – before computers were introduced. Once we invited technology into our organizations and distributed computers to every employee desktop we created a new parallel structure. Although it was still within the established hierarchy this new paradigm looks and operates much more like a collaborative network. And within that network, change happens much more horizontally through the process of attraction.

But then, Ford dropped another bombshell by saying that the only available gearbox for its hyper pony car would be a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. While such a setup will undoubtedly allow the Mustang Shelby GT500 to set lap records, some fans were saddened. To make things even worse, this new range-topping Shelby won’t feature an actual gear selector/shifter, but instead has a rotary gear selector, like the Chrysler Pacifica minivan. Let’s take a look at the new Shelby GT500 rotary shifter.

The pillion cover took a good bit longer because it didn’t come with the bolts to secure the rear pad to the cover. I’d expect better from an OEM part. So, 20 minutes and $2 later, the pad was secured with a pair of stainless steel bolts and washers. (Oh, how I love my local hardware store.) I also had to mount the orange stickers on the sides. No biggie. The Pillion Seat Cover cuts another 1.8 lb.

No way! My heart just sunk to my stomach! I do not like automatics. I feel it takes away my fun, and responsibility of actually making the car move! Someone’s going to find a way to mate-up a T56 or some 6 speed! This is just awful. C’mon Ford, what’re you thinking? Fix this issue! I know a lot of people that won’t be buying now. Including me. Guess I’ll settle for a 5.0 with bolt-on’s. WE WANT OLD SCHOOL!!! That Red eye or ZL1 is looking better and better. Maybe an older GT500? forget this….I want my Hurst sticker. Disappointed

The deadly crash happened at the Go Mart on Greenbrier St. in Charleston, West Virginia. Deputies say Smith was traveling southbound when he drove left of center and into the Go Mart parking lot.

"Push the button," urges Pasi, pointing at a red button on our side of the desk, designed to facilitate audience interaction with the exhibit.

“I took one and reversed its ring and pinion, so it goes backwards at a faster speed which would now become forward because I put a forklift on it. I just used it today to load up junk. We use it almost every day,” Birkey said.
