Range Rover maintains its regal reign

Still big, burly and brawny, but always with a regal air, the 2014 Range Rover holds its spot as the aristocrat of full-sized SUVs. Battling able competitors such as the Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac Escalade and Lexus LX 570, Range Rover rules not because of its luxury, but because it still wants to careen through nearly 3 feet of water and not get your feet wet.

In 2013, Range Rover trimmed down the fleet king by almost 800 pounds, and year 2 of the revamp features only a noteworthy tweak — a new 3.0 liter 340- horsepower supercharged V-6 engine replaces the 5.0 liter V-8. And it runs strong and smoothly mated to the slick eight-speed automatic. Gas mileage in this all-wheel-drive titan is 17 miles per gallon in the city and 23 on the highway — an improvement of nearly 4 mpg over earlier models. The V6 is quick, powerful and has excellent acceleration through traffic. It's hard to believe, but this truck easily bests many performance sports sedans, reportedly doing 0-60 mph in 7.1 seconds.

Three trim levels are available and our tester was the base model. All feature the Response 2 Terrain system that can be used either manually or automatically to adjust height and suspension for any type of terrain. Having recently tested and enjoyed driving the top level Range Rover Supercharged, the base model does not disappoint. The classic angular design continues to set this SUV apart from others in the class and, coupled with refined interior components, Range Rover strives to remain atop the competitive pile.

One drawback is that I do not find the driver's seat particularly comfortable to sit in. It feels stiff, a bit bench-like to me. The leather on the base model is nice but not as supple as the Oxford leather the HSE trim features, although it still outpaces many other manufacturers in quality. Fit and finish of the interior is pristine. The blend of soft touch surfaces, leather panels, metal and hard plastics creates a solid and sensible interior that is also very inviting.

The ghostly electronic virtual dash display is standard across the fleet and is subtle yet feeds you all the information you need. This tester had the stock 380-watt 13-speaker system and its sound is terrific. The 8-inch touch screen is easy to use and I found it quite intuitive. All the controls are redundant, responding to voice commands or the steering wheel controls.

As always the high driver's position makes for easy driving and fine sight lines. The rear seats provide plenty of legroom and a quick flip of a lever drops the seats down to create a cavernous deck. The split tailgate makes a nice spot to sit on if you've a picnic packed.

At $86,895, the Range Rover price slots in the middle of the mix of luxury SUVs, but delivers top- notch performance and creature comforts.

Emotions run high in Pinelands gas pipeline plan

PEMBERTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A New Jersey agency tasked with protecting the largest tract of open space between Virginia and Boston will decide next month whether to side with a forest sitting atop 17 trillion gallons of some of the most pristine water in the United States, or with a power plant seeking to switch from coal to cleaner natural gas.

A hotly debated plan to run a 22-mile natural gas pipeline through the protected Pinelands region of southern New Jersey is heading for a final vote Jan. 10.

Environmentalists oppose the plan, saying it will harm the fragile forests, wetlands and wildlife of the 1.1-million acre Pinelands.

But union workers and business leaders say the plan will provide jobs and reliable energy to southern New Jersey.

South Jersey Gas wants to build the pipeline to connect with the BL England power plant in Cape May County. So that the coal-burning plant can switch to cleaner natural gas.

It would pay $8 million to the New Jersey Pinelands Commission for land preservation and an educational center.

Rough health law fallout tightens key Senate races

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Democrats are bracing for tough Senate races in states they hoped to win easily just two months ago.

That's thanks to the fiasco following the launch of President Barack Obama's health care law.

There were weeks of problems with the enrollment website and much anxiety over policy cancellations for millions of people.

It's all hurt Democratic candidates Gary Peters in Michigan and Mark Udall in Colorado — and Republicans now see a better shot at retaking the Senate.

The GOP needs to pick up six seats to do that. Winning Michigan or Colorado would be a huge boost.

Both Peters, a three-term congressman, and Udall, a first-term senator, voted for the 2010 law. They also echoed Obama's now disproven claim that people could keep the health insurance they had.

Mass. card users a big fraud Target

Some 947,000 of the 40 million credit and debit cards to which hackers had access during a security breach at Target Corp. were used for purchases at Massachusetts stores, the chain revealed yesterday.

But the Minneapolis retailer said it can't pinpoint the number of Bay Staters affected by the Nov. 27 to Dec. 15 cyber attack because its point-of-sales terminals don't capture customers' mailing addresses. That leaves it unable to provide written notification to those affected, Target said in a letter yesterday to the state Office of Consumer Affairs and Regulation.

Target, which announced the breach of customer payment information at its 1,700 U.S. stores Thursday, yesterday said it so far had heard "very few reports of actual fraud."

Government investigators believe overseas hackers were responsible for the cyber attack and did not have inside help, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters yesterday.

The blogger who first broke news of the breach, Brian Krebs, said stolen customer data already had begun flooding underground markets that sell stolen credit cards. KrebsOnSecurity.com reported that stolen cards were being offered at "card shops" for $20 to more than $100 each.

Target yesterday sought to placate customers by offering a 
10 percent discount at its stores today and tomorrow, and by reassuring them that they wouldn't be held financially responsible for any credit card fraud.

"And to provide guests with extra assurance, we will be offering free credit-monitoring services," CEO Gregg Steinhafel said in a statement. "We will be in touch with those impacted by this issue soon on how and where to access the service."

Target experienced a second day of problems with its website and call center, which has buckled under the pressure of significantly increased volume.

Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation Undersecretary Barbara Anthony, meanwhile, said she still expects to be notified of the exact number of Bay State residents affected by the breach and their names.

"We certainly hope that Target and the banks involved will be cooperating with each other, and that the appropriate notices will be sent to consumers as soon as possible," said Anthony, who said she shopped at Target and her own information may have been compromised. "Obviously, there are thousands upon thousands of Massachusetts consumers that are affected."

Patriots fan’s paradise

The owner of this new Brookline home will be neighbors with Patriots owner Robert Kraft and quarterback Tom Brady.

The 6,000-square-foot shingle-style home at 324 Heath St. occupies nearly an acre in the wealthy Chestnut Hill enclave of south Brookline, on one of two pieces of land recently sold by Pine Manor College. The other parcel, which is 5.2 acres, went to Brady, whose palatial home is scheduled to be completed by next summer.

Designed by Cambridge architect Peter Quinn, 324 Heath is elegant without being ostentatious, with some farmhouse-style touches such as low-set windows and a wraparound covered rear deck. It has hand-stained oak floors, high-quality window and door moldings, coffered ceilings, stone fireplaces and lots of windows to bring in natural light. Each of its six bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom, and there are porches off most of them.

The home, with expansive living spaces and an attached three-car garage with a media room/guest bedroom above, is on the market for $4,699,000, just reduced by $200,000.

There's a low stone wall in front of the property, and much of its front yard is a U-shaped paver driveway for outdoor parking that also connects to the garage.

The exterior of the home is gray clapboard with large gables with second-floor porches and rounded bumpouts in the back. The covered front entrance is flanked with stone walls, and you enter a two-story foyer with hand-stained oak floors, coat closets, a turning staircase with a Rococo chandelier, a built-in display cabinet and even a stone chimney wall.

To the right is a formal living room where the other side of the chimney wall is a gas fireplace with a carved wood mantel above. There's a backlit coffered ceiling, recessed lighting and five windows.

On the other side of the foyer is a formal dining room with paneled wainscoting, a back-lit coffered ceiling and a Rococo chandelier. Off this room is a butler's pantry with gray granite countertops and a wine cooler.

The formal living spaces open into a huge open family room/kitchen area. The high-end kitchen features white cabinets, gray granite counters and gray glass mosaic tile backsplashes. There's a large center island with built-in microwave. Appliances are high-end stainless steel G.E. Monogram, including an oversized refrigerator, a dishwasher and professional grade gas stove with a white marble tile backsplash and a stainless steel hood. The eat-in area has seven windows overlooking the backyard and a door out to a wraparound covered back deck.

The backyard has a large bluestone patio and grass area edged by a stone wall. From this vantage point you can see some of the acreage of the Kraft and Brady properties on either side.

Back inside, the adjacent family room has a backlit ceiling as well as a rounded bumpout with a wall of windows also overlooking the backyard.

There's a second front entrance on the far left end of the home, with a foyer with a porcelain-tiled half bathroom, direct access to the garage and a set of back stairs to the second floor.

The main foyer's staircase leads up to the oak-floored master bedroom suite with recessed lighting and a gas fireplace with a wood mantel set into a stone chimney. There's a large walk-in closet with custom wardrobe built-ins. The showpiece of the master bathroom is a freestanding soaking tub. It also features porcelain tile floors that are radiant heated, a white marble-lined steam shower, and a granite-topped vanity with two sinks.

The other bedrooms all have oak floors, large closets and en-suite radiant-heated porcelain tile bathrooms. The second bedroom has cathedral ceilings and glass doors out to a balcony. The third bedroom opens onto a back porch. There's a wall of windows in the fourth bedroom. The large fifth bedroom, which also makes a great family/media room, sits above the garage and has three closets,

Also on this floor is a laundry room with a long granite countertop for folding, a sink and storage cabinets.

The sixth bedroom and full bathroom is on the first floor, down a set of back stairs.

The home is prewired so a smart-home. surround sound and alarm systems can be easily installed.

There's a huge unfinished basement that can accommodate more living space. The basement also houses the home's five-zone gas-fired heating and central cooling system.

Boston OKs new farming rules

Boston officials are hoping to open up new opportunities for urban farmers by debuting city land-use regulations that make clear businesses growing fresh produce for inner city consumers are not only accepted, but welcomed.

Outgoing Mayor Thomas M. Menino this week announced the Boston Zoning Commission approved new zoning rules, after a three-year push to raise urban agriculture to a commercial level. The effort brought together city agencies and companies that had pioneered farming in the city.

"Growing food within our city limits means better access to food and economic empowerment, all while cultivating a sense of neighborhood unity and greening our city," Menino said, indicating he will sign the new rules into law.

The Boston Redevelopment Authority worked with the mayor's office in 2010 to launch two pilot "micro-farms" on city-owned land in Mattapan that helped shape the new zoning rules.

Jessie Banhazl, owner of Green City Growers, a Somerville firm that builds horticulture projects in city spaces, said Boston ordinances did not discourage city farming but neither did they regulate it, leaving urban farmers worried about how they would weather opposition from neighbors.

"I think, because of the visibility the ordinances bring to urban agriculture, it will make people more confident to take this on as a career choice," Banhazl said. "I think there's no limit to what will be possible."

There are other communities ahead of Boston, she said, but the new regulations put the Hub at the forefront of big cities in the country pushing commercial agriculture in urban patches and on rooftops.

Ariad’s stock soars after drug approved by FDA

Ariad Pharmaceuticals' stock rose 16 percent yesterday after the company announced that the Food and Drug Administration had approved revised prescribing information and other steps the FDA required to allow Ariad to resume marketing and distribution of its leukemia drug, Iclusig.

Commercial distribution of the drug is expected to begin by mid- to late-January after the Cambridge company agreed to change Iclusig's label to include new warnings about the risks of blood clots and heart failure, and to revise recommendations about dosage and administration of the drug.

"We are committed to ... helping patients and their physicians make informed decisions about the most appropriate use of Iclusig in the context of the revised product label," said Dr. Frank Haluska, Ariad's senior vice president and chief medical officer.

At the FDA's request, the company agreed on Oct. 31 to voluntarily suspend marketing of the drug because of concerns that patients taking it could suffer life-threatening blood clots.

Obama names China envoy, economic ties in mind

WASHINGTON — Making Sen. Max Baucus the next ambassador to China reflects the importance the U.S. places on advancing its economic relationship with Beijing despite recent strains on security issues.

The veteran Democrat from Montana lacks foreign policy credentials, but he does have a track record in pressing China over trade barriers and its currency exchange rate.

If confirmed by fellow senators, Baucus will be looking to see that U.S. companies can benefit from market reforms promised by the ruling communist party in November.

The U.S.-China economic relationship is loaded with its own problems, including accusations of rampant Chinese cybertheft of U.S. trade secrets. But it is one where national interests are more aligned than on security, as China challenges decades of U.S. military pre-eminence in the Asia-Pacific.

China's declaration of an air defense zone over disputed territory in the East China Sea and a near-collision of U.S. and Chinese naval vessels this month brought those concerns to the fore. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Thursday described China's conduct in the Dec. 5 incident in the South China Sea as "irresponsible."

But when President Barack Obama announced Friday his intention to nominate Baucus, he was stressing the senator's work over two decades on economic agreements with China that he said have created millions of American jobs. "He's perfectly suited to build on that progress in his new role," Obama said.

Baucus pushed for China's inclusion in the World Trade Organization in 2001, an important step in its integration in the world economy. Since then China has emerged as world's second-largest economy after America's, and Washington's second-largest trading partner. Two-way trade is projected to reach $558 billion in 2013.

China's record on its WTO obligations is mixed, and trade with the U.S. is skewed heavily in China's favor.

As chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, which oversees trade, Baucus has sponsored legislation to punish China for undervaluing its currency to benefit its exporters. The measure never made it into law. He's also criticized China for shutting out U.S. beef imports. But he's remained a strong advocate of expanding trade.

"The economic and financial relationship with China is crucial," said Cheng Li, a China expert at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. "If that part of the relationship is healthy it can spill over and have a positive effect in other areas. But if it's jeopardized it can adversely affect other areas, including on security."

He expected China's leaders to welcome Baucus' appointment, given his stature as a six-term senator and close ties with Obama.

China's Global Times newspaper, which is affiliated with the ruling party, said Baucus' experience made him a good pick for the job.

"We hope and believe that Mr. Baucus can bring his Capitol Hill experience and personal relationship with the president to use in furthering U.S.-China trade ties and the building of a new type of major state-to-state relationship," the paper said, using Beijing's buzzword for its desire to be treated by Washington as an equal.

The current ambassador is Gary Locke, a former commerce secretary.

As the first Chinese-American ambassador to Beijing, Locke has been a well-known and generally well-liked figure in China. He created a buzz among ordinary Chinese even before he arrived in Beijing after he was photographed wearing a backpack and trying to use a coupon to buy coffee at Seattle's airport.

Many Chinese Internet users pointed out the contrast with Chinese bureaucrats, who routinely have aides carry their bags and attend to minor tasks.

Locke has navigated choppy waters in the relationship, notably when dissident lawyer Chen Guangcheng in 2012 sought refuge in the U.S. Embassy on the eve of high-level U.S.-China talks in Beijing. China subsequently allowed Chen to leave for New York, and the talks proceeded.

Given the prickly state of the U.S.-China relationship, Bonnie Glaser, a China expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, voiced surprise that Obama did not select an envoy with more clout on security issues.

She said Baucus' nomination reflected the president's tendency to focus on the economic aspects of the relationship with China as he tries to boost exports and reduce unemployment at home.

His administration wants to "level the playing field" for American companies: curb cybercrime and theft of intellectual property and improve market access, particularly in the heavily restricted services sector. The U.S. has welcomed China's intent to open state-dominated industries wider to private competition and ease limits on foreign investment.

Erin Ennis, vice president of the U.S.-China Business Council, said a priority for Baucus should be to negotiate a strong bilateral investment treaty.

Even in willing states, health law's rollout rocky

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A bug-ridden website. Endless wait times on a toll-free helpline. Error-laden data sent to insurance companies.

These are not problems burdening Republican-led states that had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the federal health insurance overhaul. These are recent complications in the rollout of MNsure, the state-based exchange in Minnesota, a place with a long tradition of activist government and generous social programs.

Political opposition to President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act runs deep in states led by Republican governors and legislators. And problems with its troubled rollout have been felt starkly in many of those places. But states where Democratic governors and legislative majorities enthusiastically enacted the system have also bogged down with glitches, gaffes and controversy.

Minnesota's efforts became so beset with problems that Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton issued a public apology and MNsure's top executive recently resigned.

"I believe in this program. But this has just been inexcusable," said Tom Beckfeld, a small business owner and Democratic activist in central Minnesota who's been stymied in his attempts to nail down coverage through MNsure.

Beckfeld already canceled his old plan. Despite spending many hours on hold with the MNsure call center, he said, he has been unable to correct problems with his application and is still unsure if he can count on new coverage on Jan. 1.

Minnesota's website has been down for long stretches, even as callers to its helpline sometimes spent more than an hour on hold. Oregon's exchange still has not been able to enroll anyone electronically and continues to accept only paper applications. Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, a Democrat, acknowledged last week that not every resident who wants insurance by Jan. 1 will necessarily get it. In Hawaii, the exchange had to delay the Oct. 1 start of open enrollment by two full weeks.

The problems have led to some high-profile departures of exchange leaders. April Todd-Malmlov of Minnesota and Rebecca Pearce of Maryland quit under surprisingly similar circumstances. Both faced public criticism for taking tropical vacations over Thanksgiving while their exchanges struggled back home. Top-ranking exchange officials also resigned in both Oregon and Hawaii.

"Many states made the same mistake that the federal government made — there was just no starting concept of how you deliver on high quality and high innovation," said Sanjay Singh, CEO of hCentive, a Virginia-based health technology company that helped set up exchanges in Kentucky, New York and Colorado, which had smoother rides. "If you started with a flawed foundation, then anything you build on top of it will suffer flaws as well."

No state's political leadership embraced all major facets of the federal overhaul more enthusiastically than Minnesota, the only state to implement all three major aspects: an expanded Medicaid program, an online insurance marketplace and a basic health program.

MNsure has not been a total failure. Minnesota has the lowest premium costs nationwide under the new law. And as of Dec. 14, nearly 48,000 people had completed applications for insurance coverage through MNsure.

But in recent weeks, even as many of the problems with the federal exchange seemed to ease, problems with MNsure were multiplying.

In addition to a sporadically functioning website and hard-to-reach call center, state insurance companies complained that data on enrollees from MNsure were filled with inconsistencies and errors. About 1,000 people learned they had to re-enroll after being notified that they did not qualify for federal tax subsidies, when they actually did.

"It's unacceptable," Dayton said Thursday, as he apologized to Minnesotans "who have been seriously inconvenienced or are distraught by the failures of MNsure."

The setbacks have been political fodder for Republicans who opposed MNsure's formation at every step. They have been happy to hang its failures around the necks of Dayton and Democratic lawmakers.

The problems left state officials scrambling to respond as the holidays approach and with the Jan. 1 coverage date looming. The new interim CEO quickly extended by one week a Dec. 23 enrollment deadline, meaning Minnesotans can sign up right up to start of coverage. MNsure, in tandem with insurance companies, also extended the payment deadline to Jan. 10 even for plans that kick in on Jan. 1.

In the meantime, MNsure has doubled its call center staff and is getting a surge of tech workers from IBM, one of its main contractors, to help iron out website glitches. Members of MNsure's board of directors have started to hint about taking a deeper look into possible failures by technology vendors.

As he stepped into the job after his predecessor's abrupt resignation, new MNsure CEO Scott Leitz was left to make promises about what it could still be.

"The potential for MNsure," he said, "is enormous."

NASA astronauts tackle urgent spacewalking repairs

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Astronauts removed an old space station pump Saturday, sailing through the first of a series of urgent repair spacewalks to revive a crippled cooling line.

The two Americans on the crew, Rick Mastracchio and Michael Hopkins, successfully pulled out the ammonia pump with a bad valve __ well ahead of schedule. That task had been planned for the next spacewalk on Monday.

"An early Christmas," observed Mission Control as Mastracchio tugged the refrigerator-size pump away from its nesting spot.

If Mastracchio and Hopkins keep up the quick work, two spacewalks may be enough to complete the installation of a spare pump and a third spacewalk will not be needed on Christmas Day as originally anticipated.

The breakdown 10 days earlier left one of two identical cooling loops too cold and forced the astronauts to turn off all nonessential equipment inside the orbiting lab, bringing scientific research to a near-halt and leaving the station in a vulnerable state.

Mission Control wanted to keep the spacewalkers out even longer Saturday to get even further ahead, but a cold and uncomfortable Mastracchio requested to go back. The spacewalk ended after 5½ hours, an hour short on time but satisfyingly long on content.

Earlier, Mastracchio managed to unhook all the ammonia fluid and electrical lines on the pump with relative ease, occasionally releasing a flurry of frozen ammonia flakes that brushed against his suit. A small O-ring floated away, but he managed to retrieve it.

"I got it, I got it, I got it. Barely," Mastracchio said as he stretched out his hand.

"Don't let that go, that's a stocking stuffer," Mission Control replied.

"Don't tell my wife," Mastracchio said, chuckling, as he put it in a small pouch for trash.

Mastracchio, a seven-time spacewalker, and Hopkins, making his first, wore extra safety gear as they worked outside. NASA wanted to prevent a recurrence of the helmet flooding that nearly drowned an astronaut last summer, so Saturday's spacewalkers had snorkels in their suits and water-absorbent pads in their helmets.

To everyone's relief, the spacewalkers remained dry. But midway through the excursion, Mastracchio's toes were so cold that he had to crank up the heat in his boots. Mission Control worried aloud whether it was wise to extend the spacewalk to get ahead, given Mastracchio's discomfort.

Not quite two hours later, Mastracchio had enough as he clutched the old pump. When Mission Control suggested even more get-ahead chores, he replied, "I'd like to stow this old module and kind of clean up and call it a day." He said a couple of things were bothering him, not just temperature, and declined to elaborate when asked by Mission Control what was wrong.

Flight controllers obliged him. Once the old pump was secured to a temporary location, the spacewalkers started gathering up their tools to go in.

Adding to the excitement 260 miles up, a smoke alarm went off in the space station as the astronauts toiled outside. It was quickly found to be a false alarm.

The pump replacement is a huge undertaking attempted only once before, back in 2010 on this very unit. The two astronauts who tackled the job three years ago were in Mission Control, offering guidance. Mastracchio promised to bring back a wire tie installed on the pump by the previous spacewalkers. "Oh, awesome, thanks Rick," replied the astronaut in Mission Control who put it on.

The 780-pound pump is about the size of a double-door refrigerator and extremely cumbersome to handle, with plumbing full of toxic ammonia. Any traces of ammonia on the spacesuits were dissipated before the astronauts went back inside, to avoid further contamination.

NASA's plan initially called for the pump to be disconnected Saturday, pulled out Monday and a fresh spare put in, and then all the hookups of the new pump completed Wednesday in what would be the first Christmas spacewalk ever. But if the work is finished Monday, a third spacewalk will be unnecessary and most everybody on the team will have the holiday off.

In the days following the Dec. 11 breakdown, flight controllers attempted in vain to fix the bad valve through remote commanding. Then they tried using a different valve to regulate the temperature of the overly cold loop, with some success. But last Tuesday, NASA decided the situation was severe enough to press ahead with the spacewalks. Although the astronauts were safe and comfortable, NASA did not want to risk another failure and a potential loss of the entire cooling system, needed to radiate the heat generated by on-board equipment.

NASA delayed a delivery mission from Wallops Island, Va., to accommodate the spacewalks. That flight by Orbital Sciences Corp., which should have occurred this past week, is now targeted for Jan. 7.

Until Saturday, U.S. spacewalks had been on hold since July, when an Italian astronaut's helmet was flooded with water from the cooling system of his suit. Luca Parmitano barely got back inside alive.

Engineers traced the problem to a device in the suit that turned out to be contaminated — how and why, no one yet knows.

For Saturday's spacewalk, Hopkins wore Parmitano's suit, albeit with newly installed and thoroughly tested components.

Just in case, NASA had Mastracchio and Hopkins build snorkels out of plastic tubing from their suits, before going out. The snorkels will be used in case water starts building up in their helmets. They also put absorbent pads in their helmets; the pads were launched from Earth following the July scare.

Besides the two Americans, three Russian and one Japanese astronaut are living on the space station, all men.
