Who Should Buy the 2019 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack Widebody
Over the past few months, Ive had several chances to spend time behind the wheel of a 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody. My first experience with the 485-horsepower Widebody car came on the road course of Club Motorsports in Vermont, followed by some road driving in rural Vermont and Maine. More recently, I had a Destroyer Grey Scat Pack Widebody for the Woodward Dream Cruise, allowing me to test the car on my local roads.
Driving the Widebody Scat Pack on the race track and on roads in two different areas gave me a great feel for the car. Giving me an even better feel for the newest widebody offering was the fact that when driving it, I also spent time driving it back-to-back with a new Redeye in Maine and my own Hellcat Challenger when I had the car at home. While comparing the 707-horsepower Hellcat or the 797-horsepower Redeye to the 485-horsepower Scat Pack might seem ridiculous, being able to compare these cars head-to-head allowed me to see how well the Scat Pack does so many things.
So, who should buy the Challenger Scat Pack Widebody? Anyone who wants a 485-horsepower Mopar muscle car with the best possible handling or the best possible launch grip or anyone who wants a car that will stand out in just about any automotive crowd.
Widebody Performance Advantages
The widebody package offers the same advantages in the R/T Scat Pack as it does in the Demon, Hellcat and Redeye. The wider wheels and 305-millimeter wide Pirelli P Zero tires afford the Scat Pack significantly more grip on launch and when you add in the specially-tuned electronic power assisted steering system, the Widebody Scat Pack handles considerably better than the standard body with the narrower wheels and tires. Also, the massive Brembo brakes that come with the Widebody package offer world class stopping power.
I didn't get to test the Widebody Scat Pack on the track or on the street directly next to the standard body car, but I spent lots of time cruising in the Scat Pack with my wife driving our Hellcat Challenger.
Hard Digs
My Hellcat has the stock Pirelli 275 P Zeros with the 8-speed automatic while the Scat Pack had the 6-speed manual and the stock 305 Pirelli P Zeros, but even with the difference of over 200 horsepower, the Widebody Scat Pack would hop out on the Hellcat on a good launch. Mind you, the Hellcat would drive around it as soon as the tires gripped, but the bottom line here is that the 305 Pirelli tires allowed me to launch the Widebody Scat Pack very hard while still getting good traction. Also, when banging through gears, the 485-horsepower Hemi isn't as quick to break the 305s loose like it does with the 245 or 275 tires that come on the standard body Scat Pack Challenger.
In other words, the Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody has a distinct in launching ability over the standard body car with the same engine, so if you are into drag racing, this new package will improve the low-end acceleration. In addition to the stock widebody tires gripping better than the stock tires on the narrow body cars, the widebody package also allows you to run a wider drag radial tire at the track without kicking up all sorts of rocks into the rear quarter panels. That being said, drag racers should opt for the automatic transmission over the manual for the best-possible quarter mile times.
Better Cornering
While the improved grip on a hard launch will likely appeal to more potential Challenger drivers, the Scat Pack Widebody wheel and tire package works with the performance-tuned electronic assisted steering system to offer better cornering grip as well. On the road course in Vermont, I was able to push the car through corners just as hard as I was the Redeye, with the big front tires allowing me to point the car where I wanted it to go in the turn – and that was where it went.
In terms of real world driving, I found that in the harshest turning situations – cloverleaf onramps and traffic circles – I could push the Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody much harder than I can my Hellcat. Mind you, I am not talking about oversteer from the back wheels breaking loose from all of that Hemi power; I am talking about being able to accelerate through the turn harder without the front end pushing out along with accelerating harder coming out of the turn without concern of wheel spin.
In every case, whether on the track or the street, the Brembo brakes of the Scat Pack Widebody gets this muscle car stopped a whole lot quicker than the normal Scat Pack brakes, so if you do get into a turn too hard, the brakes will bail you out.
While my Hellcat is stronger and faster, the Widebody Scat Pack sticks to the corners better while also gripping the pavement better on a hard launch, so anyone who is really focused on getting the best possible performance from their Dodge Challenger with the 392 Hemi should take a good, long look at the 2019 Widebody option.
Wow Factor
Finally, if you don't really care about precision handling, world class braking or the ability to launch from a stop with all 485 horses at work, there is still one reason to buy the Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody. This car turns heads like crazy, benefitting from the massive amounts of attention paid to the Demon, the Widebody Hellcat and the Widebody Redeye. With those big-power models introducing the Challenger Widebody look, it is a design that draws a ton of attention everywhere you go – and not just because people think that it is one of the supercharged models.
While not everyone loves the Challenger Widebody look with the component composite flares, it is really unlike anything that you see on the street on a normal day. The flares catch the eye, as does the wide, menacing stance with those 305s sticking out from under the rear end while the rumble of the 392 Hemi provides the soundtrack for the show.
Sure, some people will give you a disappointed look when you tell them that it is a Widebody Scat Pack and not a Widebody Hellcat, Redeye or Demon, but if you want to draw attention at the local cruise spot – the widebody design of the modern Challenger does just that.
My 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody had a price-as-tested of $52,065 while the basic Scat Pack starts at just $38,995. Options include the Plus Package for $1,695, the Driver Convenience Group for $1,095, the summer tires for $595, navigation for $795, the red brake calipers for $495 and the two unavoidable charges – Gas Guzzler Tax at $1,000 and Destination Fees at $1,395. When you add up everything above, you get a price of $46,065. To get to the price-as-tested above, you add the $6,000 Widebody Package and when looking at that $6k upcharge, that is when you have to decide whether you really want the handling, launch grip and widened stance, as it isn't a cheap option.
However, even at $6,000, the advantages of the Widebody Package on the 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack are undeniable.
Awesome feedback on the widebody Scat Pack.

Agreed - makes my 2006 R/T look like it came from the sixties! Beautiful car.
Any idea how much heavier this wheel/tire is compared to the 9.5" forged Hellcat wheels w/275 tires?
Also the T/A has the cool air induction hood. I assume that is worth a couple of ponies over the sealed airbox in this Scatpack?
Is it safe to say, the wide body handles better, but a T/A or 1320 would be faster from a roll?
Wow, I'd buy one if i was in the market for a new car. They just look muscular in my opinion.

The T/A is going to be faster around a track over the standard Scat Pack due to the larger wheel/tire and the Hellcat brakes they have.
Widebody ups the T/A with an even larger wheel/tire and more importantly the SRT adjustable dampers and stiffer front end components....so no doubt the best choice for track duty from the Scat Pack packages.
The wider wheel/305 tire on the widebody has to be a few pounds heavier than the 9.5 forged SRT wheel/275 tire or Scatpack 9" wheel/245 tire.
Rotational weight will effect acceleration.
Grip not withstanding..the narrow body Scatpack Chally should be a bit quicker accelerating than the widebody.
great write up, thank you.Now can you make them produce a widebody scat pack charger for us less fortunate charger people lol

That's a great write up. I must admit though that after much thought, I'm just not a huge fan of the Widebody. I really love the lines of the standard Challenger because it more directly resembles the classic 1970-71 versions. While I do not deny the Widebody offers increased handling and grip, I prefer to have the cool retro look with 275 tires.

Shortly after prosecuting former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted on 17 federal corruption charges last year, Reid Schar watched Jon Stewart joke about it on "The Daily Show."
"Seventeen felony convictions," Stewart quipped. "Or, as that's known, a Chicago dozen."
It was funny, and that was unfortunate. Because although Schar had spent nearly a decade exposing graft there as an assistant U.S. attorney, he didn't think the city, or the state, deserved a reputation as one of America's most corrupt places. It was the famously crooked politicians like Blagojevich who made it seem worse than it really was.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"You have this perception that overtakes the reality," Schar, now in private practice, said in a recent interview. "When you end up with big name individuals at high levels such as the governor's mansion, then there's a perception that if people at the highest levels are corrupt, then that must mean the system is corrupt, and lots of people are corrupt. That's a misperception."
That notion is back in the public consciousness, this time thanks to Jesse Jackson Jr., a congressman from Chicago's South Shore and the son and namesake of the civil rights leader. Jackson Jr., who is battling mental illness and a federal corruption probe, announced his resignation Wednesday, just weeks after easily winning re-election.
Chicago's history is entwined with the growth of the modern American political machine — and the patronage, nepotism, bribes and shakedowns it engendered. To many, that tradition did not fade with the demise of last big-time boss, Mayor Richard J. Daley, whose 21-year rule ended with his death in 1976.
The numbers seem to support that view. One recent study of federal prosecutions counted 1,828 people convicted of public corruption in Illinois since the year of Daley's death. The vast majority of them, 1,531, occurred in the district that includes Chicago, the most of any district in the country. Of the 100 or so people to serve as a city alderman in the last four decades, 31 of them have been convicted of corruption. When Blagojevich went down, he became the fourth of the past seven Illinois governors to be convicted of a felony.
"It's a problem for each individual involved in corrupt acts, but it's a part of a political culture with a long history, and until we change what we might call machine politics, we're not going to end major corruption in Illinois," said University of Chicago political science professor and former alderman Dick Simpson, who authored the study. "This is still a machine town."
Certain Chicagoans still take pride the city's image, because it connotes old-school toughness and resiliency. Even President Barack Obama, who adopted the city's South Side as his home, has boasted about doing things "the Chicago way" – a quote from "The Untouchables."
At the same time, Obama's critics have tried to tarnish him by describing his decision-making style to "Chicago-style politics."
But some historians, and crime-fighters like Schar, say that image is a relic, no matter what the numbers appear to show.
"When you're looking at gross numbers you need to be careful comparing them (to numbers in other places)," Schar said. "Raw numbers only tell part of the story."
Jim Grossman, a former vice-president for research and education at Northwestern's Newberry Library and co-editor of the Encyclopedia of Chicago, said the myths and realities of Chicago tend to mix together so deeply that it's hard to separate the two.
"Part of the problem is that every time something small happens, it gets blown up, because of the magnitude of the myth," he said. "We have a big narrative to fit things into."
Grossman, who now heads the American Historical Association in Washington D.C., added: "To pick out Chicago (as more corrupt than other places) is to be picking a narrative as much as the reality."
One reason Chicago maintains its unscrupulous profile is its tradition of Mike Royko-style investigative journalism and its focus on the darker side of politics, Grossman said. Chicagoans are deeply interested in that subject and enjoy speaking about it publicly – arguably more than in most parts of the country. So corruption cases that might otherwise not attract much sustained attention get thoroughly discussed and dissected, he said.
"In some cities maybe where the public culture is less vibrant, corruption doesn't bubble up as quickly," Grossman said.
But Simpson points out that there several realities still make Chicago a cradle for graft. It is dominated by one party, the Democrats. (Conversely, the outlying suburbs, with their own tradition of corruption, are overwhelmingly run by Republicans.) Despite laws to curb patronage, machine-style politics abound, notably on the hyper-local level. Family dynasties remain, most notably the Jacksons' (Jackson Jr.'s wife, Sandi, is an alderman). And state campaign finance laws are still relatively lenient, Simpson said.
And then there's the continued popularity of politicians facing corruption charges. On the same day that Jackson Jr. won re-election, so did Derrick Smith, who won back his seat in the state House of Representatives despite having been charged with taking a bribe.
Simpson, however, allows that things seem to be looking better under Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who has overhauled the city's ethics board and has himself remained scandal-free.
Schar, who still cannot shake memories of Blagojevich's appearances on "Celebrity Apprentice," said that the two key ingredients to political corruption, greed and the desire for power, still exist in Chicago. But he argued that they don't exist in greater proportion to most parts of the country.
In the end, he said, it's up to the people of the city to make things better.
"The problem with corrupt politicians is when people are willing to put up with it," Schar said.

Supreme Court to hear AZ voter citizenship case
At issue, must voters have to prove citizenship to register?
The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments Monday in a case about whether states can force people to prove their U.S. citizenship before registering to vote.
At issue is the legality of Arizona's voter-approved requirement that prospective voters document their U.S. citizenship in order to use a federal registration form that doesn't require such proof.
A federal appeals court threw out that part of Arizona's Proposition 200.
Arizona officials say they should be able to pass laws to stop illegal immigrants and other non-citizens from registering.
Opponents see it as an attack on vulnerable voter groups such as minorities, immigrants and the elderly.
Alabama, Georgia, Kansas and Tennessee have similar requirements, while 12 other states are contemplating similar legislation.

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) Kenny Perry and Sean O'Hair took a two-stroke lead in the Franklin Templeton Shootout on Saturday, birdieing the final six holes in better-ball play for an 11-under 61.
``We got pretty hot,'' O'Hair said. ``Kenny did a great job when I wasn't in the hole ... then I did a pretty good job when Kenny wasn't in the hole.''
Perry and O'Hair were 19 under overall, two strokes ahead of first-round leaders Davis Love III and Brandt Snedeker at Tiburon Golf Club. Love and Snedeker had a 65.
The round was delayed by heavy rain and wind for 1 hour, 50 minutes.
O'Hair chipped in for birdie on No. 13 just ahead of the downpour. But the two didn't let the delay affect them. Perry birdied Nos. 14 and 15, O'Hair birdied Nos. 16 and 17, and Perry made one on the last hole.
``It was amazing,'' said Perry, who won the event in 2005 and 2008. ``We come back right out of the hopper and birdie the last five holes.''
``You have to keep your momentum,'' O'Hair said.
Love and Snedeker couldn't. After birdieing three straight holes on the back and making a par, the two made two birdies in the last five holes after play resumed.
``Finally started making some birdies and we had to stop,'' Love said. ``We had a rough par 5 when we came back and didn't make a birdie.''
History is on the side of O'Hair and Perry. The second-round leaders have gone on to win six out of the past 11, and four of the last five.
The 12 two-man teams will play a scramble Sunday.
``It we just go out there and do our job, everybody is going to have a hard time catching us,'' O'Hair said.
``It's a good format for us, but I think we'll have to birdie every hole,
and that's really no secret,'' said Love, whose team parred seven of the first nine holes.
Jason Dufner and Vijay Singh, Stewart Cink and Carl Pettersson, and Charles Howell III and Rory Sabbatini were tied for third at 15 under.
Defending champions Keegan Bradley and Brendan Steele shot a 64 to get to 13 under.
The winners will split $750,000.

Pecans are native to the American South, and you can bet those creative Southerners put them on the menu every chance they could find. Those delicious little pecans even made the South famous for its pecan pie, an irresistible dessert that makes ex-pat Southerns very homesick.
Many Southern families have their own treasured family recipe–possibly even some handed down from grandma's or great-grandma's secret recipe. Years ago, family recipes were so cherished many were kept secret.
I have great respect for those delicious heirloom recipes that bring families together at special times like the holidays. And I also love the way Southerners say pecans– south of the Mason-Dixon line they call them puh cons.
My holiday version has all the eye-appealing and flavorful attributes of its traditional counterpart with the added benefit of being totally vegan. But I must admit that veganizing the recipe was one heck of a challenge.
My first 8 attempts–yes, it actually took 9 tries to get it right–came out too runny or totally soupy. It was maddening and totally frustrating, but I was one determined gal. The goal was to find a way to thicken and bind the ingredients, as eggs would do in the traditional recipe. About the 8th time the top baked perfectly, and I thought I had achieved success at last. But, no! As soon as I cut into it, it was soup.
Taking the place of the eggs is a combination of tapioca flour and flaxseeds that gives the pie its unique, creamy texture. The tapioca flour also performs the double duty of thickening the filling as well as providing an inviting glaze that enhances its appeal. The key was tapioca flour –it worked like magic! Now I'm thrilled to share this recipe that's from my cookbook The Nut Gourmet.
There are many ways to arrange the pecans on the top. Some people simply sprinkle broken pieces over the filling, but I wanted a pecan pie that was pretty darned eye appealing. If you have the time, start by sorting out beautiful pecan halves of similar sizes for the topping. Then arrange them side-by-side in concentric rings beginning in the center of the pie.
At serving time, make way for those pecan lovers who scramble for a piece of pie!
Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie
Nutty Wheat Pie Crust
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup almond meal
2 tablespoons organic sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup organic canola oil
2 tablespoons cold water
Pecan Filling
1 1/4 cups coarsely broken pecans
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) dairy-free margarine
1 1/2 cups light or dark corn syrup
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup regular soymilk
1/2 cup tapioca flour, packed
5 tablespoons flaxseeds
1 1/4 cups pecan halves
1. TO MAKE THE PIE CRUST, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and have ready a large rimmed baking sheet. Combine the pastry flour, almond meal, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl and mix well.
2. Add the oil and mix with a spoon until all the flour is incorporated. Add the water and stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a soft dough and all the water is absorbed.
3. Form the dough into a ball and roll it out between two sheets of waxed paper. Remove the top sheet of waxed paper, place the pie pan over the dough, and invert the dough and pan together. Remove the waxed paper carefully and firm the edges of the crust. Trim the excess crust with a knife. Bake the Crust for 5 minutes and set it aside on the baking sheet to cool.
4. TO MAKE THE PECAN FILLING, put the coarsely broken pecans on a small, rimmed baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 8 minutes. Immediately pour them onto a dish to cool. When cool, spoon the pecan pieces into the bottom of the pie shell.
5. Melt the margarine over medium heat in a 2-quart saucepan. Add the corn syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract and bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Boil 5 minutes and set aside to cool for about 30 minutes.
6. Put the soymilk in a small bowl and stir in the tapioca flour. Set it aside for 5 minutes to allow the tapioca flour to absorb some of the liquid. Don't rush this step. The tapioca flour needs a full 5 minutes to absorb some of the liquid.
7. Meanwhile, put the flaxseeds in a blender or mini chopper and grind them to a fine meal. Add the flaxseeds and the soymilk mixture to the cooled corn syrup mixture. Stir to combine, and pour the mixture into the blender. Blend for 1 minute, until smooth. Pour over the toasted pecans.
8. Top the pie with the pecan halves, arranging them in concentric circles, beginning in the center. Bake for 40 minutes. Cool thoroughly before chilling in the refrigerator. The pie will firm after it is thoroughly chilled.

Mango, pineapple and watermelon salsa
I have always struggled with eating salads and fresh vegetables and lately I have also noticed that my fruit intake has slowed down considerably and this despite the availability of fresh produce this summer. These days, whatever fruits and berries I have, usually come in the form of apple pie, raspberry crumble bars, blueberry muffins... well, you get the picture. So in an attempt to increase my vitamin intake, I made this salsa.
I made a fruity salsa with mango, pineapple and watermelon. I made this last week and I had it with salmon and potatoes. The best thing about salsas is that you can put them together in a jiffy. This fruit salsa made for a juicy and refreshing sidedish to the warm, mildly-seasoned salmon and the cold potatoes. The watermelon was kind of a last minute impulse and the watermelon made the salsa more sweet than your average mango salsa. If that isn't your thing, I think the best option is to omit it completely or replace the watermelon with tomatoes.
1 large slightly ripe but firm mango, diced
1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
1 1/2 cup watermelon, diced
1 small red onion, finely diced
2 serrano peppers, seeded and chopped
Few sprigs cilantro/coriander, chopped
Lime or lemon juice (to taste)
Salt to taste
Peel and dice the pineapple, mango and watermelon and place in a large bowl. Slit the serrano pepper into two with a knife and carefully remove the seeds (and the white stem, if desired) with a knife and chop the pepper into small pieces. Try not to touch the seeds with your fingers when removing them from the pepper because you'll feel a burning sensation in you finger tips for hours after that. Add the chopped peppers to the bowl with the fruits. Finely chop the onion and the cilantro (coriander) and add to the large bowl with the diced fruits and toss or mix all the ingredients. Season with salt and lime juice, mix. Serve with fish, grilled chicken, or barbeque. It's also tasty to eat just the way it is!

You are right, the bowl is empty now, Mahi. :) But I always take plenty of pictures so I have some of the bowl as well (I didn't upload because I couldn't decide which ones to upload), so I'll send one.
As for the flavours. It's like it does "salsa" in your mouth. :)

You're right - salsa are so easy to throw together and one can be quite creative like the one you've made here! I love the addition of the watermelon. Not something you see in salsas much, and why not? Now that I see it, it makes sense. This salsa is perfect and I bet it was delicious with salmon!

San Juan Mountains Association
It is hard to believe that summer is almost over, school is starting and hunting seasons are beginning again.
With the start of the archery season Friday, muzzle-loading season Sept. 8 and rifle season Oct. 13, San Juan Mountains Association reminds hunters to plan ahead and prepare before venturing out this fall.
The big three to remember in your preparations:
San Juan National Forest motorized travel rules continue to change. Pick up a free Motorized Vehicle Use Map, which shows current open roads and trails designations for any type of motorized vehicle. The maps also can be viewed online: Visit www.fs.usda.gov/main/sanjuan/maps-pubs, and click on the link for the desired map on the right side of the page.
In addition, those traveling by ATV, UTV or dirt bike are required to be registered in Colorado ($25.25). Even if your off-highway vehicle is registered in another state, you still are required to purchase a Colorado OHV permit sticker. Registrations are available at San Juan Public Land offices, Colorado Parks and Wildlife offices as well as local OHV dealers.
When setting up a hunting camp, proper planning will lessen your impacts on the natural world. The San Juan National Forest has many developed campgrounds that are available for free or at a reduced fee during hunting seasons.
If you feel you must camp outside of a developed campground, use a previously impacted area that is at least 100 feet from lakes, ponds, streams and trails. Never leave a campfire unattended, and do not cut green trees or dig trenches around your tent. Keep vehicles within 300 feet of U.S. Forest Service roads. Check posted signage for more information.
When it comes to trash, if you pack it in, make sure you pack it out. You only should burn trash that will be completely consumed. Foil, cans and glass do not burn and must be packed out. Do not bury them.
If you use horses, help protect the land by using a highline, hobble or picket to restrain your stock, and always use tree-saver straps. Its also important to tie stock at least 200 feet from any source of water.
To help prevent the spread of noxious weeds, federal regulations require that you onlyuse certified weed-free hay, straw, mulch, cube or pelletized feed or steam-rolled grain for feed while on public lands.
Have proper gear, clothing and knowledge about potential weather conditions. You never know if you might have to spend a night in the woods away from camp. Always keep your hands and feet dry and warm. Wear 500 square inches of blaze orange. Carry a good map, GPS, cellphone, extra food, clothing and first aid.
Check the weather before you go. Current information is provided weekly on the San Juan Region Outdoor Recreation Hotline at 247-8187, sponsored by Pine Needle Mountaineering.
Always make sure a friend or family member knows your itinerary for the backcountry. If you do not contact them at an agreed-upon time, they can contact the La Plata County Search and Rescue through the Sheriffs Office at 247-1157.
We hope you enjoy a safe and quality hunting experience this fall. If you have questions about the land, stop by one of the San Juan Public Lands offices in Durango, Bayfield, Dolores and Pagosa Springs. You also can call us at 247-4874 or email email@example.com.
If you have questions about the Hunting Proclamation, licenses or obtaining a hunter safety card, call Colorado Parks and Wildlife at 247-0855.

For The Insanely Curious
How short is a short film?
Don't tell me. I want to surprise myself.
How to make a wave - in our sea of information.
No one likes to play favorites. I'm giving all the stories a fair shot.
Perspective-changing interviews with the most creative minds and respected leaders in the worlds of sports, business, politics, the arts and science.
Welcome to the daily writings of Michael Schulder's Wavemaker. These brief essays and impressions will only take a minute or two of your time.
I call it The Daily Breeze because my oceanographer friend, Nantucket's Dr. Sarah Oktay, explained to me that a big wave, the kind I want to create, can begin with a light breeze. I hope you find these daily breezes entertaining, and even insightful.
And if you do, please share.
When my first child entered elementary school, knowing I was a journalist, she began asking me: "What stories did you work on today, Dad?" At the time the Iraq war was in full swing. I was in charge of CNN's Weapons of Mass Destruction beat. I had very little to share with her. I wanted to figure out a way to combine my role as father and journalist -- to create a space where parents can find stories they want to share with their children or with each other. I call that space NewsDad.
My father was a professional standup comic. Does that make me funny? It didn't hurt.
If you disagree with me, feel free to keep it inside.
Statistics? Standings? Scores? You can have 'em, I don't want 'em.
I'm reaching out to great coaches, athletes, sports psychologists, and the wisest men and women in youth sports, to spread the wisdom of how to compete, and perform, and enjoy.
Note: I write without the use of performance enhancing substances.
Stories about science... that aren't formulaic.
This is the space where I harness the wisdom of leaders in a variety of fields and engage them in the art of improvisation to help make our nation better than ever.
I search for people with unusually valuable insights on a wide range of urgent subjects. When I find them, I grab them and extract their insights for the benefit of me - and the audience. And have a blast doing it. So watch out! If you're a person with great insight and I bump into you - you're coming into the studio.
My demo-clock expired. I want to find out who determined that on the day I turned 50, I became a less-valued member of the advertising audience than I was the day before. I want names!
And when I get those names -- I will enlist them to destroy the myth of the 18-49 demo.
Want to help me?
How short is a short film?
Don't tell me. I want to surprise myself.
I am thrilled to host the new radio talk show CNN Profiles. The show has a mission.
Get to know people who have the experience and insight that can shape our understanding of the world.
Some guests are famous. Others are not but should be. All, we hope, will leave a lasting impression.

Teddy Bear Factory, Coalbrookdale, Ironbridge, Shropshire. The Teddy Bear Factory has closed, but while it was open, discipline among the bears must have been pretty strict, as the spikes on these railings show: photo by Mike White, 27 October 2008
The Orange bears with soft friendly eyes
Who played with me when I was ten,
Christ, before I'd left home they'd had
Their paws smashed in the rolls, their backs
Seared by hot slag, their soft trusting
Bellies kicked in, their tongues ripped
Out, and I went down through the woods
To the smelly crick with Whitman
In the Haldeman-Julius edition,
And I just sat there worrying my thumbnail
Into the cover -- What did he know about
Orange bears with their coats all stunk up with soft coal
And the National Guard coming over
From Wheeling to stand in front of the millgates
With drawn bayonets jeering at the strikers?
I remember you would put daisies
On the windowsill at night and in
The morning they'd be so covered with soot
You couldn't tell what they were anymore.
A hell of a fat chance my orange bears had!
Kenneth Patchen: The Orange Bears, from Red Wine and Yellow Hair, 1949

John Morrison returned to Barrington in 2003 to start a real estate business in one of Chicago's most desirable surburbs. Now, 10 years later, business is thriving and he was named the top RE/MAX agent in the state for 2012.
Morrison took some time to talk to Barrington Life about why he wanted to make this area his home base for his family and career.
How long have you lived in Barrington?
My family moved to North Barrington in 1994. I graduated from Barrington High in 1998. I then went to college at UIC and lived in Chicago only to return to Barrington in 2003 to start my real estate career.
What first got you interested in real estate?
What first attracted me to the real estate business was my entrepreneurial spirit. I love working for myself and setting difficult goals and accomplishing them. I like that I have the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people in my community and I love helping them with their real estate needs.
Why did you choose to run your business in Barrington instead of Chicago?
I started my career in Barrington for the same reason my clients are attracted to the area. I knew I wanted to start my family in Barrington, therefore it only made sense to build a career here as well.
From a Realtor's perspective, what makes Barrington a great place to live?
The overall lifestyle, people, sense of community, award-winning schools, nature preserves, etc. is what makes Barrington such a desirable place to live!
How does it feel to be named the top RE/MAX agent in Illinois?
I feel very proud to accomplish being the No. 1 RE/MAX agent in Illinois.
What went into becoming the top RE/MAX agent in the state?
It took a lot of hard work and many hours to become the No. 1 RE/MAX agent in Illinois. Taking good care of all my clients led to a lot of referrals and repeat business.
Also, staying on top of the latest and best technology and applying it to my systems has played a large role in my success.

UK network operator Vodafone has confirmed it is laying off 500 staff in its continuing effort to cut costs in the face of falling profits.
The 500 people were given the bad news this morning. The cuts are coming from across the group, though retail operations won't be affected; 170 are being laid off from the Newbury headquarters. This is in line with previous moves by the company to cut back-end staff while focusing on selling stuff - not an unreasonable strategy given prevailing conditions.
The company sent us a statement saying that no services will be affected, which does beg the question of what those 500 people were doing all day. Network operators are notoriously overstaffed, but there is a concern that this policy might see fewer products developed in future, as well as less involvement in industry bodies - for better or worse.
Vodafone also tells us that: "New roles are being created to develop total communications services and solutions and in addition the retail estate and online services will be the focus for ongoing investment", which would seem to reinforce the shift from developing products to packaging and selling them.

2013 Home Run Derby Tracker
Yoenis Cespedes blasts one of his towering home runs from his Home Run Derby performance. [Chuck Solomon/SI]
This post will be updated throughout the evening with results and analysis from the 2013 Home Run Derby at Citi Field. For a detailed look at the venue and the hitters, see my guide to the Home Run Derby from earlier today.
The Format: Three rounds, ten outs per hitter in each round. An out is any swing that doesn't result in a home run. The top four home run totals advance to Round Two. The top two cumulative totals from the first two rounds advance to the Finals. Scores reset in the Finals, and the winner is the player who hits the most home runs in that round. Ties are broken by a five-swing swing-off. If the players remain tied, they have three-swing swing-offs until one wins.
Winner: Yoenis Cespedes.
Note: Cespedes needed just five outs to pass Harper in the finals and win the Derby. He hit 32 home runs total in the Derby, tying David Ortiz (2010) and Robinson Cano (2011) for the third most in a single Derby, and he could have kept going. He emphatically flipped his bat on his Derby-winning home run, which was his longest, 455 feet off the wall behind the batter's eye in center field.
1. Yoenis Cespedes: 9 (longest in Finals: 455 ft.)
2. Bryce Harper: 8 (longest in Finals: 447 ft.)
Note: Harper hit exactly eight home runs in all three rounds. One of his home runs in the finals was misreported at 541 feet. Leaving that aside, he has averaged 404 feet on his other 23 home runs tonight.
Round 2: Top Two Advance
advancement determined by cumulative total from Rounds 1 and 2
1. Yoenis Cespedes: Round 1: 17, Round 2: 6 = 23 (longest in Round 2: 416 ft.)
2. Bryce Harper: Round 1: 8, Round 2: 8 = 16 (longest in Round 2: 432 ft.)
3. Michael Cuddyer: Round 1: 7, Round 2: 8 = 15 (longest in Round 2: 417 ft.)
4. Chris Davis: Round 1: 8, Round 2: 4 = 12 (longest in Round 2: 461 ft.)
Note: Major league home run leader Chris Davis has been eliminated, but he put on a good show, hitting five opposite-field homers among his dozen and averaging a Derby-best (thus far this year with Harper and Cespedes still due to hit in the Finals) 418 feet per home run. Cuddyer and Harper both hit eight in Round 2, but Harper advanced because he had one more homer in Round 1. Yoenis Cespedes advanced on the strength of his Round 1 performance alone, but is taking his swings in Round 2 anyway as every home run contributes more money to the charities listed at the bottom of this post.
Round 1: Top Four Advance
1. Yoenis Cespedes: 17 (longest: 456 ft.)
2. Bryce Harper: 8 (longest: 471 ft.)
2. Chris Davis: 8 (longest: 451 ft.)
4. Michael Cuddyer: 7 (longest: 421 ft.)
5. Pedro Alvarez: 6 (longest: 461 ft.)
6. Prince Fielder: 5 (longest: 483 ft.)
6. David Wright: 5 (longest: 403 ft.)
8. Robinson Cano: 4 (longest: 406 ft.)
Note: Cespedes is obviously the story of the Derby in the early going. His 17 home runs were the most in one round since Josh Hamilton's record 28 in 2008. Cespedes's home runs averaged 410.6 feet in distance. Two bounced in the batter's eye, where no regular season home run has gone this season, and four landed in the third deck in right field. Bryce Harper's eight home runs had the longest average distance at 414.8 feet, and though defending champion Prince Fielder was eliminated, his second home run was the longest of the first round, traveling a staggering 483 feet to the back of the second deck in Citi Field's right field.
During the breaks in the action, Clovis High School (Fresno, CA) shortstop Jacob Gatewood, a potential top pick in the 2014 draft, outslugged another potential 2014 draftee, Palmetto, GA outfielder/firstbaseman Kel Johnson in a parallel derby. Gatewood hit nine home runs in three minutes in that derby's first round, blasting rockets to right field. An eye-opening performance from a hitter I did not expect to see tonight.
Charitable donations made by Major League Baseball and Chevrolet:
$3,000 for every regular ball hit for a home run
$23,000 for every gold ball hit for a home run (gold ball is put into play when a hitter reaches nine outs)
From the combined amount accumulated via the home runs hit:
$150,000 goes to the charity of the captain whose team combines for the most total home runs in the Derby
$100,000 goes to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America
$25,000 goes to losing captain's charity
The remainder of the money goes to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America

Mao's Secret Famine
By Jasper Becker
Illustrated. 352 pages. Free Press. $25.
Near the end of 1959, with China in the midst of Chairman Mao Zedong's crazily utopian Great Leap Forward, the official Communist Party newspaper issued some dietary instruction for the masses of the country's newly collectivized agricultural workers. ''The peasants must practice strict economy,'' The People's Daily intoned. ''Live with the utmost frugality and eat only two meals a day, one of which should be soft and liquid.''
Life and history are in the details, and one of the many virtues of this disturbing and important book by the British journalist Jasper Becker is its attention to the small, concrete matters that display larger, more abstract ones in the fullness of their horror and absurdity. ''Hungry Ghosts'' is Mr. Becker's powerful, sober, lucid and sometimes lurid account of what was probably the worst famine in history, the one that resulted from Mao's blindly misguided and ruthlessly enforced attempt to achieve Communism overnight.
For the party newspaper to tell people that it was good for them to eat less at a time when it was also spinning fantasies about the bounty being engendered by the Great Leap was a relatively small, if telling, irony. At the larger, horrific center of Mr. Becker's account is the widespread resort among the Chinese people to that most sickening form of desperation: cannibalism, the selling of human flesh on the market, the swapping of children so people could use them for food without committing the additional sin of eating their own.
It has of course been known for many years that the Great Leap produced a terrible calamity in China lasting from roughly 1959 to 1962. But Mr. Becker, who is the Beijing bureau chief of The South China Morning Post, has written the most compelling and complete account of that calamity, describing it systematically as it affected the countryside, the cities and the immense network of camps for ''rightists'' and other political prisoners that China maintained at the time.
As his account unfolds, Mr. Becker puts to rest once and for all whatever illusions about the Great Leap may have survived less exhaustive studies. The most extreme of those illusions, generated in those years by pro-Chinese writers like Edgar Snow and Han Suyin, was that no famine took place at all. Another more widely accepted one is that it was the unavoidable product of a series of especially harsh natural disasters.
Mr. Becker makes clear that Mao himself and his adoption of policies that had already proved disastrous in the Soviet Union were responsible for the famine, which affected virtually every province in China, the agriculturally richest of them most of all. The Government basically took the food away from the farmers who produced it and then, assuming that any shortfalls in grain deliveries were due to hoarding by the ideologically untrustworthy, mercilessly harassed them in ''anti-grain hiding'' campaigns.
''China was at peace,'' Mr. Becker writes. ''No blight destroyed the harvest. There were no unusual floods or droughts. The granaries were full and other countries were ready to ship in grain. And the evidence shows that Mao and the Chinese bureaucracy were in full control of the machinery of government.''
Mr. Becker shows, especially in his passages on cannibalism, that what happened was a lot more grisly than most writers until now have imagined. His conclusions seem solid even though he fails in many places to state clearly his sources of information, or to assess the validity of various pieces of evidence.
He uses many documents, among them a 600-page study based on county records in one of the worst-hit provinces, Anhui. The document was intended only for circulation among senior Chinese officials but was smuggled out of the country after the Tiananmen Square demonstrations of 1989. It reports, among many other things, that in the single county of Fengyang, all the inhabitants of 21 villages died. It also records 63 cases of cannibalism.
Mr. Becker supplements the documentary record with numerous interviews, especially of peasants living in the areas where the famine took place. Where he is clear about his source and names it -- as he does, for example, with that People's Daily admonition -- his book is an astonishing chronicle both of human folly and evil.
But sometimes he includes information without giving the reasons he found the information credible. For example, Mr. Becker, illustrating the fanaticism of local officials, cites a production brigade in Henan Province that accepted relief grain belatedly shipped by the national Government but then sent it back, presenting it as the fruits of participation in the ''anti-grain hiding'' campaign. Mr. Becker cites ''confidential sources'' for that remarkable story. He needs to give more assurances that he is not simply passing along just about any horror story he heard.
Still, Mr. Becker's sober tone, the comprehensiveness of his research and his knowledge of the political background give his overall account a strong aura of believability. His analysis of the famine's main causes is well documented -- the most important being that the party encouraged officials to inflate grain production figures, then used those figures to justify seizing all the grain of a locality, leaving nothing for the local people to eat. And he seems to have heard enough accounts of cannibalism from widely separated areas to justify his most shocking conclusion: that it may have taken place ''on a scale unprecedented in the history of the 20th century.''
Near the end of his account, Mr. Becker tries to estimate the number of people who died unnatural deaths as a result of the policies imposed during the Great Leap, citing one scholar's figure of 30 million to be the most believable. But Mr. Becker says that ''from a moral perspective'' the debate over numbers is ''meaningless.'' China managed to hide the very fact of the famine for 20 years, and even now, its extent and real causes are glossed over in official accounts as part of the effort to protect Mao's already tarnished reputation.
Mr. Becker's remarkable book, which firmly establishes the Great Leap and the resulting famine as one of the worst atrocities of all time, strikes a heavy blow against willed ignorance of what took place.

United States Grand Prix organisers want the date of the 2013 event at the Austin circuit changed in order to avoid a clash with an American football match.
The Circuit of the Americas race is scheduled for the weekend of November 17 next year following confirmation of the calendar by the FIA World Motor Sport Council on Wednesday.
The University of Texas football team is scheduled to play against Oklahoma State on November 16, in a event that is expected to draw a crowd of over 100,000 fans.
Both the university and the circuit chiefs have admitted the situation is far from ideal, with COTA eager to get a new date for the grand prix.
"Circuit of the Americas has expressed our strong preference for an alternate race date in 2013," chairman Bobby Epstein told the American-Statesman.
"We understand that setting a global calendar can be very challenging, involves many factors and is out of our control. We feel confident that Formula 1 has taken our concerns seriously and is working earnestly towards a collective solution.
"Ultimately, our 2013 race date may remain as it currently stands."
The Austin circuit made its debut on the Formula 1 calendar this year.

This goes back to what i was saying a while back when i was trash talking with Derek D.
The rating can change depending on where you are at.
Im a solid 5.5 everywhere nation wide but when i played Derek D i was 6.0 ready.
and in my last tournament i was 5.0 having a 4.5 guy giving me a tough time but nothing i cant handle.
I believe you are at your best 1 level up and at your worst 1 level down yuou can go by half or by whole.
so a 4.5 guy can hurt me but doesnt have enough experience to beat me a 5.0 can give me a run for my money 5.5 guy its a tough fight and a long run.
A 6.0 can get me in straight sets if im not prepared. but i can take a win against a D1 college boy easy... but the more experience players older D1 guys are tougher.
actually this whole thing was a serious question because I don't know how strong ntrp is anymore. I ran into Thom Sugita of Honolulu, Hawaii fame last week, and he was saying guys are playing two levels down from where they were to do well at Nationals... and I thought Hawaii was already playing the sandbag game as it is sooo... I can't imagine how strong it is now. If she's 4.0 though, then that makes me 3.5 wooohoo packing my bags on my way back
Well Tim, it's hard to rate a player higher then 4.0 when they use what looks like a 110 or bigger stick......:)
Guess that says something about Thailand, my friend. As for the guy, that guy is you. lol
tim, i'm looking at a video. and it's from the back. if there was footage taken from the side and a front view then it might be different. she can get away with being a 4.0 but just needs a little work.
Chan ong teng rates more like me. Inscrutable! lol
4.0 for both
When doing NTRP there is a level change between the Men and women. if not she is a 3.5. but competeing against other women who dont train for tennis she is a 4.0.
there is a female tennis pro that works PT at the club she is a solid 4.5
she cant touch me in a match even though she is in better shape and is taller. but against other women she crushes them. 4.5 are rare. I ran into some ladies in TN. who are solid 4.0 4.5 players winning and going to nationals USTA. they hit very hard but lack soft hands and touch. and anything weak they crushed but against me with soft hands they couldn't understand why i can get away with hitting soft shots. so i had to teach them about soft hands and the ups skills.

A Cost-Effective, Bluetooth-Focused Approach to Traffic Monitoring
By Beecher Tuttle
The exponential growth of the world's population – coupled with the ever-increasing reliance on automobiles and the deterioration of roads and highways – has turned traffic congestion into a major concern.
In fact, the Urban Mobility Report estimated in 2009 that the ramifications of traffic congestion cost Americans around $80 billion a year, not to mention the negative consequences for the environment. This number is expected to reach $150 billion by 2033, and the problem is even worse in more crowded countries like India and China.
Unfortunately, the sluggish economy has only worsened the issue, as many communities no longer have the resources to fix their infrastructure or modernize their public transit systems.
So what are communities to do?

Welcome to the home page of Team# 2219: The Megahurts. Our program works to advance STEM Education for learning disabled students through an integrated robotics curriculum at Brehm Preparatory School. Here you will find information about our team and our school; as well as, archives of our past FRC Seasons and useful information for other robotics teams. Check out our Resources Section for FRC, VEX and other useful code; as well as curriculum resources for teachers and mentors alike.
Our team was started in 2006 at Brehm Preparatory School, in Carbondale, IL U.S.A. We are a small private boarding school in the mid-west for Jr. High and High School students with complex learning disabilities. The school was founded in 1982 by Carol Brehm. Our FIRST Robotics Program and the Megahurts bring robotics and high level STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) experiences to students with learning disabilities; Allowing them to pursue careers not typically thought of when discussing students with learning differences.
After graduating from Megahurts we have students attending schools such as; Cal Poly Tech, Carnegie Mellon, DePaul, UW Stout - in such majors as; computer science, mechanical engineering, information systems technology, electrical engineering. In all of these instances the students possessed complex learning disabilities. This program clearly shows that when students are given the right opportunity, with the right mentors, and given the right motivation they can and do succeed!
Take a look around our site, we welcome feedback. Our game Archive has all of the competition animation for the years we were in FIRST. The Archives also have vector graphics (.eps) for the FIRST Logos and FIRST FRC Game Logos. As always we are willing to help any team that we can.

All College at Brockport full time internships in Dublin, Ireland are located in Central Dublin or its immediate suburbs, providing the opportunity to experience how the Irish live and work. Every placement location has its own opportunities to try new things and to create a network of international contacts.
The College at Brockport works with the largest independent internship provider in Europe, which places over 1,800 young people each year in a wide-range of professional practice situations in a variety of industry sectors. Placements are arranged by an experienced team working with each student on an individual basis. The placement team makes a considerable effort to match each student to an appropriate placement and to monitor the students throughout the semester.
Dublin has been at the center of Ireland's impressive economic growth over the last 10-15 years due to the Celtic Tiger phenomenon, making it an exciting city to work in. Historically, brewing is the industry most often associated with the city, but there are countless opportunities for internships in many types of businesses. A large number of global pharmaceutical, information and communications technology companies are located here, as well as the European headquarters for several major international corporations. Banking, finance and commerce are also important in Dublin. There are countless opportunities in Business, Economics, Law, Politics, Communications, Psychology, Social Policy, the Arts, and Hospitality, to name a few.
The Brockport Dublin Internship Program offers you the opportunity to:

Participants will stay in a student apartment complex designed especially for student use. The fully furnished apartments consist of 4 single bedrooms with a shared kitchen and living area. All bedrooms have a private bathroom and include linens, pillows, and duvets. Students must bring their own towels. The kitchen is fully stocked with cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils, as well as an iron and ironing board and microwave. The common area has a TV access point, but students must rent their own television if they wish. There is a laundromat on-site, and nearby shops for essentials.
Students may be sharing their apartment with students from their own university, students from other EUSA programs, or students from schools in Europe and further a field. In general, the apartments are co-ed, but every effort will be made to provide single sex accommodation if there is sufficient demand. During the summer months, there may be some residents who stay for shorter periods of time who are not associated with a university program.
Rules are broadly similar to most US dormitories, including no smoking, no large gatherings after mid-night, and respect for fellow residents and neighbors of the complex. The complex is in a safe, quiet residential area, and has the additional safeguards of locked gates, and 24 hour security staff.
Social program:
There will be a basic social program that will be available to students during the course of the program. This may include a tour of the city and other optional excursions that will vary by season.

Interns will normally work 8 hours per day for five days per week. Interns will also be required to follow the academic syllabus established for the course which will involve maintaining an attendance/activities log, submitting 1-2 page weekly journals on established topics and completing two, 5-page papers. These assignments will be submitted by email to the Instructor at Brockport.

From politics to the arts, placements are available for a broad spectrum of intellectually engaging internships based on your field of interest, internship goals, and skills. Here are just a few of the industries available in Dublin:
Media, Arts & Literature
Have a great business idea? Turn your ideas into action next summer while completing an internships in Dublin, Ireland!
What is the business etiquette like in Dublin?
In Ireland, businesses generally run in a slightly more casual manner, with more emphasis placed on individual initiative and motivation. Students are generally given projects, with both short and long term goals, and are expected to work on their own initiative. This does NOT mean that students cannot ask for help – it simply means that the supervisors will assume students will ASK for help if they need it. They may not want to appear to be breathing down an intern's neck or handholding them through their placement. Supervisors NEVER complain about interns asking for work or for help.
What should students wear?
This question will be answered with much more detail once the exact internship is in place. It is tough to generalize on this because we have placements ranging from suits and ties to sandals and jeans. However, if a student is working in a business setting (i.e. an investment bank or law firm) they should bring at least one suit and several dress shirts and ties. "Smart" or "business" casual is usually the norm – which means neat shirts and blouses, khakis (no jeans), casual (but NOT athletic) shoes, etc. If a student has a professional outfit (a suit), they should bring it – to be prepared in the case of a more formal meeting or event. In addition, dressing well for the initial interview will show respect. A student will need to ask about the dress code if we haven't told them by the time they leave. Irish people will wear the same outfit more than once a week, so students don't need to have an extensive work wardrobe. Fashionistas may want to just pack a few basics and do some shopping in Ireland – it might be fun to experiment with Irish style.
What are the typical hours for an intern?
Again, this is a difficult question to generalize – a student will work whatever hours are asked of them, and this will be vastly different for different industries (an investment banker will work much longer hours than a school teacher, for example). These hours are non-negotiable and will be expected by the employer and the placement office.
Will students have one particular supervisor at their placement?
The Placement Team will make every effort to make sure students know who their direct supervisor will be. This is usually ONE person who will be responsible for the intern for the entire duration of the placement. This is the person the student will go to when they need help, have concerns, or simply need a new assignment. This person may not be the Office Manager and in fact, may be in a junior position him/herself. Students may find that they are not far off in age to their direct supervisor – this is common – Dublin is a young city! Also, a student may find that their supervisor may change as their job description evolves.
Students should, however, see themselves as working for the entire organization If they find that they have free time, they should offer to help even the more junior staffers. They'll appreciate the offer and may be able to return the favor by inviting students to interesting meetings or asking for their input on their projects.
If a student has a problem with their direct supervisor, it is perfectly acceptable to speak to their direct supervisor to get their concerns addressed. However, it is advisable to speak to a member of the Placement Team before a student does so as we may be able to provide assistance or another point of contact in the company.
How far can students expect to commute?
Shanowen Square is located approximately 3 miles from Dublin city centre, across from the campus of Dublin City University in the Glasnevin/Santry neighborhood. Although Dublin is a small city, it has terrible traffic and a public transportation system that is still trying to catch up to massive population growth. Shanowen Square is well served by public transportation with a number of buses running frequently to the city center, as well as connection services to the DAR commuter train service. Although it is a 15 minute bus ride to the city center, during rush hour it is not unusual for a commute to take at least an hour each way. A taxi costs approximately 13 Euros. Students will definitely be able to "whinge" (complain) like a native Dub after a few days – everyone is in the same boat (or bus or train or tram!)
When do students find out their placements?
Typically, students are placed 2-4 weeks before their departure dates. In some cases, students will receive their placement inside of two weeks before they depart. In rare instances, students will receive their placement just after arrival to Dublin.

As the inventor of pacing technology, Dr. Paul Zoll, a founder of ZOLL Medical Corporation, performed the first human clinical cardiac pacing procedure in 1952. Today, the company named for him leads the way with patented external pacing technology.
Why Pacing Matters
For some well-conditioned athletes, a slow heart rate is normal, but for many people, it can be a serious problem if the heart cannot pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the body. In symptomatic patients whose bradycardia does not respond to drugs, pacing is an integral step in the 2015 American Heart Association ACLS bradycardia algorithm.1 Pacing is also used to treat complete heart block.
How ZOLL Pacing Works
Pacing technology design can greatly impact capture rates and patient survival. The ideal pacer current is the lowest value that maintains capture—usually about 10% above threshold. Typical threshold currents range from 40 to 80 milliamps. ZOLL® defibrillators provide twice the capture at half the current, using a 40-millisecond pulse with constant current. This overcomes disadvantages inherent in other external pacemakers, and results in less patient discomfort.
ZOLL also incorporates a unique technology in its R Series® monitor/defibrillator. Pressing and holding the 4:1 button temporarily withholds pacing stimuli, allowing you to observe the patient's underlying ECG rhythm and morphology without losing capture. When depressed, this button causes pacing stimuli to be delivered at one-fourth of the indicated pulse-per-minute (ppm) setting.
ZOLL's pacing waveform compared to competitors'.
Electrodes Matter
Proper pacing requires a reliable, high-quality surface ECG signal. ZOLL helps ensure proper pacing with OneStep™ Pacing electrodes and OneStep™ Complete electrodes. Both electrode types eliminate the need for a separate ECG cable by incorporating ECG electrodes into the anterior electrode.

Pinch and punch and all that stuff. This would be the last tarot reading for the year, but I may (or may not) do a reading on my birthday.
Card 1 (Justice) : How you feel about yourself now »
You are feeling that things will go your way, you believe in fairness and justice in all things. If you are considering partnership issues, personal or professional, dealings will go well. Perhaps you are about to sign a contract or legal document, this will be beneficial to you. If someone has done wrong to you it will be put right and you will feel justice has been done.
Card 2 (Death) : What you most want at this moment »
The cards suggest that what you most want at this time is absolute change, to end what you no longer want and start anew. You desire to transform your career or your love life, perhaps your whole lifestyle in general. However catastrophic such changes could be, embracing them will only make you grow in wisdom and experience.
Card 3 (The Tower) : Your fears »
You are afraid your world is falling apart, you're experiencing sudden changes and disruption and you don't quite know what to do. Perhaps subconsciously you've wanted a solution to an issue but didn't quite expect things to have turned out as they have. Use this change as an opportunity for a new beginning. If you have been planning to move home you will be experiencing setbacks.
Card 4 (The High Priestess) : What is going for you »
All lines are open in your telephone exchange with your intuition, and there is no better guide than your intuition. Listen, listen carefully and the secret you want revealed will be shared with you.
Card 5 (The Emperor) : What is going against you »
You may be over ambitious at this time, success may remain just out of your reach for a while. Are you being assertive and positive enough? Or are you using aggressive, bullying tactics to no avail? Do not mis-use your authority or if you have requested help from a strong, successful man don't let him bully you – he either helps or leaves you to get on with things yourself.
Card 6 (The Magician) : Outcome »
A time of positive action with great potential, you are full of self-belief and feeling very empowered. It's time to show everyone exactly what you're made of. You will have the ability to think on your feet and The Magician is an excellent omen for success.

Perennial. We all recognize the iconic Monarch butterfly with its majestic orange and black wings. Unfortunately, the butterfly we all know and love is losing its habitat, specifically milkweed, to modern farming methods and population development. To help the Monarchs, Botanical Interests is supporting the National Wildlife Federation's Butterfly Hero Campaign by donating seed packets to their Butterfly Garden Kit. As home gardeners, we can help to replenish the Monarch habitat by sowing milkweed and other butterfly-friendly varieties in our home, school, and community gardens. Buy some today and wait for the butterflies to arrive!
Butterflies will seek out your garden when you grow this vigorous perennial, shrub-like plant; you can observe the life cycle of the Monarch butterfly! Beginning in summer, you will be treated to a profusion of fiery, red-orange flowers followed by decorative green seed pods. Drought tolerant once established.
