Mmmh, that sweet good publicity. It's even better than bad publicity.

New diesel Chevy Cruze can go an estimated 702 miles on a single tank of fuel

The 52 mpg highway fuel economy numbers apply to the six-speed manual transmission diesel Cruze, which gets 30 mpg on city streets. The car also comes in a 9-speed automatic transmission version, which returns 47 mpg on the highway and 31 mpg in the city with start-stop technology regulating the engine.

Mod journal flamebait!!!

Why does the United States still let 12-year-olds get married?

This is an opinion piece in WaPo written by the founder of a nonprofit. archive.is link because I figured out WaPo has a 5 article/month limit paywall.

While most states set 18 as the minimum marriage age, exceptions in every state allow children younger than 18 to marry, typically with parental consent or judicial approval. How much younger? Laws in 27 states do not specify an age below which a child cannot marry.

Unchained At Last, a nonprofit I founded to help women resist or escape forced marriage in the United States, spent the past year collecting marriage license data from 2000 to 2010, the most recent year for which most states were able to provide information. We learned that in 38 states, more than 167,000 children — almost all of them girls, some as young 12 — were married during that period, mostly to men 18 or older. Twelve states and the District of Columbia were unable to provide information on how many children had married there in that decade. Based on the correlation we identified between state population and child marriage, we estimated that the total number of children wed in America between 2000 and 2010 was nearly 248,000.

Worth a look, but not a submission just yet.

I'm about a third of the way through this book, it's a fantasy/action type deal and I'm finding it does a better than usual job of painting the state of mind of different characters without slowing down the plot.

There's a sample chapter at link below, if you're into this sort of thing.

(Update: Charon pointed out the chapter at that link has formatting issues. https://heartofnightsaga.com/2017/02/02/download-a-free-sample-chapter/

A better version of the sample chapter is at the amazon page:

Sample chapter at Amazon

Incidentally the Kindle version seems to have a longer free sample than the print one.)

Would be interested to hear other people's thoughts. Or else: what are you reading at the moment that you like (preferably something with sample chapter available so I can check it out before buying).
