Following the tragic shooting in Arizona, there has been a call for greater civility and tolerance in the political and public spheres with the hope that a more reasonable path would be favored by all. However, news of numerous states introducing legislation similar to Arizona's harsh, anti-immigrant law, SB1070, doesn't bode well for the new year.
On Tuesday, the Mississippi Senate passed SB 2179, a copy cat SB 1070 legislation that allows local law enforcement officers in Mississippi to demand proof of citizenship from drivers whom they have pulled over for traffic violations. The bill will now make it's way to the House for consideration.
"The bill would authorize local law enforcement officers to check a person's immigration status if "reasonable suspicion" exists that the person may be in the country illegally during any "lawful stop, detention or arrest."
The bill's chief backer is Sen. Joey Fillingane, a Republican in a chamber that is predominantly Democrat. Reports by the Clarion-Ledger indicate that Fillingane considers SB 2179 an improvement on SB 1070 because, according to him, SB 2179 only allows officers to inquire about a person's citizenship status as part of a secondary search, once they have already been stopped for a different, 'primary' offense, such as a traffic violation. The issue remains, however, that a significant percentage of racial profiling takes place when people are stopped for minor traffic violations, during stops that are at the officer's discretion, often without accountability on the part of the officer. Further, in addition to the ways in which this law can lead to racial profiling, it is important to note that the legislation will also cost the state additional costs of housing, transportation, and hiring experts.
Following in the footsteps of Mississippi, states like Florida, Iowa, Oregon, Nevada, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky are all contemplating Arizona-style immigration laws, with conservative legislatures and governors responding to the lack of federal action on immigration by taking immigration enforcement into their own hands. There are also concerns in Oklahoma, Nebraska and New Mexico, all of which are slated to usher in anti-immigration legislation.
In Virginia a group of House Republicans recently announced plans to put forward at least sixteen bills aimed at undocumented immigrants including bills that would ensure that children without documentation could not attend public schools and colleges. Del. L. Scott Lingamfelter, who is taking the lead on these bills said that state action was called for in such areas where the federal government had "completely failed." The bills that they unveiled on Tuesday included legislation that would require authorities to check the immigration status of anyone "taken into custody," and to ensure that the check would apply even to those who were arrested and released on bail or bond before being taken to jail. Virginia already denies driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants and all taxpayer-paid services except those expressly required by law such as education and emergency medical care. The laws proposed by this group seek to challenge even those by denying public education to children who are undocumented.
When questioned by the Washington Post, David B. Albo said that while this package of anti-immigrant bills was motivated by Arizona's SB1070 law introduced in 2010, they were of the opinion that the laws they propose were moderate in comparison to SB1070 and hence had a chance at passing where SB1070 did not.
A consideration for lawmakers on laws similar to SB1070 are the costs involved. For example, the Senate Bill 6, Kentucky's Arizona copy cat law, is estimated to cost the state $40 million a year in expenses.
According to the Lexington Herald Leader:
"…..A 2008 study estimated that, if Kentucky successfully removed all of its undocumented immigrants, it would lose $1.7 billion in economic activity, $756.8 million in gross state product, and approximately 12,059 jobs. Meanwhile, Arizona's Hotel and Lodging Association reported a combined loss of $15 million in lodging revenue due to meeting cancellations just four months after its immigration bill's passage due to an economic boycott that was waged against the state".
Skeptics of Arizona style immigration laws are also looking at the issue purely from the point of view of business and how such laws are detrimental for the economic prosperity of the state in question. Lawmakers opposing the bills argue that states proposing such legislation are being "fiscally irresponsible."For example, in just four months after passing SB 1070, Arizona lost an estimated $141 million in visitor spending.
While debates around the politics, efficacy, economics and constitutionality of laws such as SB 1070 continue to rage, it is easy to forget that eventually it is individuals and their families that are most adversely affected by these laws. As more states think of taking immigration enforcement into their own hands, it is important to keep in mind that when we deny due process to some and compromise their civil liberties, we compromise the human rights of all.

Warwick Rooklyn Leads Day One At Australian Nationals
26 January 2012
The Festival of Sails and Corio Bay served up great conditions for day one of the 2012 Melges 24 Australian Championships; sunshine, up to 20 knots of wind and dolphins. Sponsored by Parks Victoria, the support boat that normally patrols the bay crewed by Graeme Willson and Paddy Hernon couldn't have been more accommodating.
Regatta favourites Warwick Rooklyn on Bandit lead after day one with two wins. Heath Walters' Arriba Arriba and Kevin Nixon on Accru finished on equal points in second place, three points behind Bandit.
Racing was super close and staying in phase with wind shifts was the key to success today. Twenty-eight kg Logan Walters on the rail of Anthony Passmore's Planit noticed a small tear in the kite in the second race which opened up and shredded in a 20 knot wind gust.
Heath Townsends' Kaito broke a Brolga lower after rounding the top mark in the leading bunch in the second race.
Bandit won Boat of the Day in the results but the crew aboard Geoff Fogarty's Amigos had an exceptional day of racing and were pleased with their position in the fleet.
Many of the crews kicked on at the yacht club after racing at the Australia Day celebrations which included live bands and Bundaberg Rum Sponsorship put on by Festival of Sails. They will be dusting themselves off for day two and three heats tomorrow.

In a game against Dallas last season, Kesler demonstrates his breakneck play style.
Photo Credit: TONY GUTIERREZ / AP
After getting off to a rocky start to the season – the Canucks' first six games were marked by iffy goaltending, unforced puck moving errors, permissive defensive coverage and a complete inability to hang on to two goal leads – the Vancouver Canucks machine has been purring of late, recording six straight wins over a variety of Northwest Division opponents and also the Chicago Blackhawks. Tonight the Canucks will try to extend their streak to seven games against a surprisingly competitive Dallas Stars club.
A key subplot is that Friday night's contest could mark Jaromir Jagr's final game in Vancouver. I'm not sure he'll mind come to think of it. While Jagr's a sure bet to make the Hall of Fame on the first ballot, his most notable hockey moment in Vancouver is probably that time he got crushed by Ovechkin during the Olympics.
Another key subplot? The return of Aaron Rome. Boy oh boy do I miss his steady low-event stylings on the… Yeah I can't even finish that sentence and the 2013 version of Keith Ballard is a big upgrade over what Rome would've brought in a bottom-pairing role. Still, Rome is massively underappreciated by Canucks fans. He was (and is) a legitimately useful and versatile player!
Read on past the jump.
Broadcast Info:
Puckdrop: 7 PM PST
Radio: The Team
Television: Sportsnet Pacific
The big news for the Canucks, of course, is that tonight marks the first game of the post-Manny Malhotra era which is really sad. Also some plug named Kesler (or Kessler if you're in Ontario) is returning to lineup after taking nearly nine months to recover from a pair of offseason surgeries on the same side of his body. So that's neat.
Alain Vigneault has pledged to limit Ryan Kelser's minutes, but it's tough to see how that's even possible considering how heavily he's usually leaned on, on special teams. Expect to see Kesler back on the top power-play unit (and thank goodness, the Canucks have looked woeful with the man-advantage so far this season), and back killing penalties in earnest.
Also expect Maxim Lapierre to be buried in the defensive zone. I'm really not sure if he'll ever got an offensive zone start again, at least until Ryan Kesler is back to being his usual two-way, wrecking ball self or until Mike Gillis acquires another steady defensive centreman for the bottom-half of the roster.
Oh also Cory Schneider starts. With Malhotra's sad situation and Kesler's return, it seems like the never ending goaltending controversy has somehow slipped onto the back-burner this week. I really didn't see that one coming.
On what to expect from the Dallas side whom the Canucks face tonight, I decided I'd tap Jeff Angus for a few spare thoughts seeing as how he has a huge man crush on Jamie Benn, writes for "Defending Big D" the excellent Dallas Stars SBN blog and follows the team closely. Here's what Jeff has to say about the Stars lineup:
Up front, the Stars have a balanced attack spread across two lines. Jamie Benn has quietly developed into one of the best players in the league, and he and Jaromir Jagr have been playing good together. Brenden Morrow is the third member of that top line, replacing the injured Ray Whitney. Morrow is playing his best hockey in years after struggling with injury issues.
The Stars brought in Derek Roy to replace Mike Ribeiro, and Roy has been a great fit on line two. Loui Eriksson, usually Mr. Consistent, has been exactly the opposite of that in 2013. Eriksson really needs to get his offensive game going for the Stars to have a chance at the postseason.
Keep an eye on Cody Eakin, who was brought over from Washington. Eakin plays a north-south game and works his tail off. A poor man's Zach Parise is an apt comparison. Dallas has a lot of speed on their bottom two lines.
The defense has been a huge disappointment in Dallas, but not for the reasons you may think. The young guys have been pretty solid, especially Surrey native Brenden Dillon, who skates on the top pairing with Stephane Robidas. Dillon was an undrafted WHL free agent who plays solid two-way game. Jamie Oleksiak was recently returned to the AHL, but he was pretty solid in limited action.
Alex Goligoski has been terrible this season for Dallas – he is trying to do way too much offensively instead of letting his game do the work (think of Kevin Bieksa during his struggles a few years ago).
Oh, and how can I forget about Aaron Rome? The former Canuck is playing more minutes on Dallas than he ever would have in Vancouver. He's looked exactly how you would expect him to look – solid defensive play, safe outlet plays (glass and out), and the odd blunder or mistake.
There have been some great goaltending performances this season (Pekka Rinne and Craig Anderson, to name two), but for my money Kari Lehtonen has been the best goalie in the NHL in 2013. He's the sole reason behind many of Dallas's wins (or extra time losses). He could steal a point or two for the Stars tonight, who will want to tighten things up after an embarrassing performance in Calgary a few nights ago.

Nisei Project
Nisei History
Japanese-American internment was the relocation and internment by the United States government in 1942 of about 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese who lived along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called "War Relocation Camps," in the wake of Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The internment of Japanese Americans was applied unequally throughout the United States.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the internment with Executive Order 9066, issued February 19, 1942, which allowed local military commanders to designate "military areas" as "exclusion zones," from which "any or all persons may be excluded." This power was used to declare that all people of Japanese ancestry were excluded from the entire Pacific coast, including all of California and much of Oregon, Washington and Arizona, except for those in internment camps. In 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the exclusion orders, while noting that the provisions that singled out people of Japanese ancestry were a separate issue outside the scope of the proceedings. In 1988, Congress passed and President Ronald Reagan signed legislation which apologized for the internment on behalf of the U.S. government. The legislation said that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership".
Nisei is a Japanese language term used in countries in North America, South America and Australia to specify the children born to Japanese people in the new country.The Nisei are considered the second generation; and the grandchildren of the Japanese-born immigrants are called Sansei.

Ms. Kimiko Yamaguma, 2009
Thanks to the facilitation and perseverance of CCSF employees Martha Lucy, Rod Santos, Rita Tuialu'ulu'u, Kathleen Moriwaki, and Wilbur Wu City College of San Francisco is proud to be part of the California Nisei College Diploma Project (CA Nisei Project). The CA Nisei Project provides support for Assembly Bill 37, authored by Assemblymember Warren Furutani that bestows honorary college degrees to American citizens of Japanese ancestry - or a surviving family member - who were forced to leave their college studies and relocate to internment camps during World War II. The CA Nisei Project estimates that at least 2,500 former students are eligible, including students at the University of California, California State University, and Community College systems.

No Wind, No Racing In Portoferraio
26 May 2012
There was very little to do during the opening day of the second leg of Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series 2012, held in Portoferraio (Elba Island) and sponsored by the City of Portoferraio and organized by Plan-B & Sports Events in collaboration with Melges Europe, Lega Navale Italiana of Portoferraio and Comitato Circoli Velici Elbani.
The very calm conditions made for a long wait for crews. The Race Committee, chaired by Fabio Barrasso remained on the water until late afternoon, a mile north from Lo Scoglietto, hoping that the breeze would increase in intensity and stabilize in direction.
At about 18.30, however, rain appeared and took away all hope of any races on day one. The Committee was forced to expose AP over Alfa.
The second leg of the Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series continues on Saturday with the first warning signal at 10.30. The weather forecast for tomorrow predicts another day of light winds, although in the afternoon, the conditions should produce favorable racing conditions.
Each leg of the Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series consists of a maximum of eight races, with the limit set at no more than three heats per day. The only event that will be an exception is the European Championship in Porto Cervo, where four days of high-powered action will take place with a maximum of ten races.
The Audi Sailing Series is articulated in five acts. Marina di Loano was the first event crowning Cirillo champion. The Melges 32 fleet is now in Portoferraio (24-27 May), then travels to Porto Cervo (June 28-July 1), Malcesine (19-22 July) and lastly Naples (18-21 October).
As usual, Thursday was reserved to four rolling starts and a practice race. The light wind imposed a stop to the fleet.
Owners happily arrived to a new surprise in Portoferraio. Ashore for all the participants, title sponsor Audi offered sailors the opportunity to test drive their latest automotive models — the A1 Sportback, R8 V10, RS3 Sportback and A6 Avant.
Besides Audi, the Audi Sailing Series are supported by the Maison Haute Horlogerie Eberhard & Co, the official timekeeper of the season, and sponsor Musto.

For more information about the Summer Writing Program presented by Naropa University and The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, visit naropa.edu/swp.
Naropa readings this week: All readings begin at 7:30 p.m. and are in the Naropa Performing Arts Center, 2130 Arapahoe Avenue. They are free and open to the public.
Tuesday: Readers are Stephen Motika, Vincent Katz, Pierre Joris and Nicole Peyrafitte, Bob Holman, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge
Wednesday: Readers are Danielle Vogel, Andrea Rexilius, Sara Veglahn, Richard Froude, Erik Anderson
Thursday: Michelle Naka Pierce, Sherwin Bitsui, Wang Ping, Laird Hunt
Friday: Student readers
Saturday: Readers are Danielle Dutton, CAConrad, Allison Hedge Coke, Margaret Randall
Anne Waldman, an internationally recognized poet, appreciates the culture in Europe where young writers seek out mentors, often picking their brains in coffee shops.
And, in a way, Naropa University recreates that kind of atmosphere with its annual Summer Writing Program, which Waldman founded with fellow poet Allen Ginsberg in 1974. The program -- which began last week and runs through July 8 -- features workshops, lectures, panels, book signings and student readings.
The program draws both students earning course credits as well as poets, teachers, musicians, activists, performance artists, Buddhist teachers and others working in small press publishing. Readings are open to the public.
Most of the sessions at the Summer Writing Program are capped at about a dozen students, Waldman said.
"There's a transfer of knowledge and an intimacy," she said. "We want to keep that energy going here."
The program is presented by Naropa University and The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics.
When Waldman and Ginsberg were dreaming up the idea of the now-famed Summer Writing Program, they imagined bringing artists together in Boulder, creating a Beat writer counterculture. They wanted to found a poetics school, but they were wary of traditional academics -- Ginsberg, for example, was against grading students for their writing.
In the early years, Waldman remembers riding up in a flatbed truck to dip in Boulder Creek and eat lunch and then staying up late immersed in intellectual discussions. Now, the program has grown to 200 people.
During its first week, the Summer Writing Program participants explored political discourse and the values of truth and accountability. They focused on memory, addressing the question "How do we work with rescuing the work of others, and consider the technologies for future preservation?"
This week, international communities will be among the focuses, and workshops will be led by noted writers, including Bob Holman, Laird Hunt and Danielle Dutton.
Gabrielle Tallman, who is earning her master's in fine arts from Naropa, studying writing and poetics, is among this year's summer writing students.
She graduated from the University of Wisconsin in Madison but said she wanted to delve into the more creative aspects of writing. She's finding inspiration in the writing program.
"It brings together such a diverse group of instructors," she said. "It's a nice collection of voices."
Other well-known guests on this year's roster include Thurston Moore, singer, songwriter and guitarist from Sonic Youth; Laurie Anderson, an experimental performance artist and musician; and Amiri Baraka, a poet and writer of essays and fiction.

It is true that the US governmetn deserves much of the blame for forcing banks to lend to un-creditworthy (sub-prime) borrowers and (through the para-statal company Freddie Mac) inventing the practice of securitizing the debt.
But the main source of the problem has been the massive expansion in credit - and indeed money - over the past decade. And while the American government has been as guilty as any of inflationary policies over the past decade, it is Labour that has led UK investors up the garden path with dangerously loose monetary policy.
Having spent ten years allowing Gordon Brown to fan the flames of in an inflationary boom, we are now reaping the whirlwind.
But, I hear you cry, has inflation not been running at around 2%? Isn't that very low>
Well, yes, but only if you look at consumer/retail prices. Sadly for us, economic inflation isn't caused by inflation in the price of consumer goods, which have in fact been falling in real terms since China got its act in gear in the 1990s. Inflation is caused by loose money, which floods through banks, via loans, to be invested in (particularly) capital-industry and land. So the important measure of the inflation isn't CPI or RPI but the money supply.
And how much has the money-supply been inflating over the past decade? The Market Oracle provides this handy chart, which suggests that over the last 5 years the quantity of money swirling around in our economy has doubled.
And where has all that spare cash, utterly un-backed by a corresponding doubling of growth (see GDP figures for 2002 and 2007), gone?
It has been used to bid up the prices of property, shares and capital goods.
However, as demand for them is not actually changed by the new banknotes (electronically) manufactured by the Government, the inevitable "readjustment" is at last taking place as the cost of these goods begins to fall, reflecting their real, non-inflated, value and the cost of consumer goods begins to rise to accomodate the new money in the economy.
As I mentioned a three days ago, further inflation, interest rate cuts and borrowing cannot stop the recession. They can perhaps delay it, and certainly extend it, but in the long run recession is inevitable. We have Labour to thank.

Gay Couples Merit EU Residency Rights, Court Adviser Says
A gay Romanian-American couple should enjoy the same residency rights as other married couples in the European Union, a top EU legal adviser said in an opinion published Thursday.
European Court of Justice Advocate General Melchior Wathelet said the key legal issue in the case of Romanian Adrian Coman and his American husband, Claibourn Robert Hamilton, was "not that of legalization of marriage between persons of the same sex but that of freedom of movement of a Union citizen."
So while the 28 European Union countries "are free to provide or not for marriage for persons of the same sex," they must not limit their application of spousal rights in a way that infringes "on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States," Wathelet wrote.
Coman has been fighting since 2012 to get his marriage to Hamilton in Belgium two years earlier recognized in Romania, which does acknowledge same-sex unions. The couple live in New York.
Romania's Constitutional Court asked the European Court of Justice to weigh in with its legal interpretation of the case. Thursday's decision is non-binding, but the court often follows the recommendations laid out by its advocates general.
"We are overjoyed," Hamilton said in a written statement. "It shows the Romanian authorities were wrong to refuse to treat us as a family."
Coman added: "Romanian citizens can't be divided into good and gay. We can't be treated as inferior citizens, lacking equal rights, based on prejudices that some have about homosexuality."
The court is expected to make a final ruling this year.

Janet Yellen, the Federal Reserve's influential vice chair, said on Monday the central bank's aggressive monetary stimulus is warranted given how far below its full potential the economy is operating.
Continue Reading Below
Downplaying the potential costs of the Fed's unconventional easing efforts, which currently include $85 billion in monthly asset purchases, Yellen highlighted the dangers of a prolonged period of economic malaise.
"Insufficiently forceful action to achieve our dual mandate also entails costs and risks," Yellen told a conference sponsored by the National Association of Business Economists. "At present, I view the balance of risks still calling for highly accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger recovery and more rapid growth in employment."
Yellen, seen as a potential successor to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, who is expected to step down early next year, reiterated Fed officials' intention to keep their foot on the accelerator even as the economy recovers.
"The large shortfall of employment relative to its maximum level has imposed huge burdens on all too many Americans and represents a substantial social cost," she said. "Prolonged economic weakness could harm the economy's productive potential for years to come."
The U.S. economy stalled in the fourth quarter but is forecast to expand around 2 percent this year. At the same time, unemployment remains at an elevated 7.9 percent, and Yellen said Fed officials expect the rate to come down all too slowly to around 7 percent at the end of next year.
In response to the financial crisis and deep recession of 2007-2009, the U.S. central bank slashed interest rates to effectively zero, and bought over $2.5 trillion in Treasury and mortgage-backed securities in an effort to keep long-term rates low and spur spending and investment.
It began a third round of quantitative easing or QE3 in September, extending the program starting in December. Since then, there has been renewed discussion about divisions within the Fed's policy-setting committee, with some officials apparently growing worried about the potential costs of easy monetary policy. Yellen was clearly not in that camp.

(The Greek word "historie" means "inquiry.") Before Herodotus, no writer had ever made such a systematic, thorough study of the past or tried to explain the cause-and-effect of its events. After Herodotus, historical analysis became an indispensable part of intellectual and political life. Scholars have been following in Herodotus' footsteps for 2,500 years.

Two Stones Pub in Newark
Hail Stones: Two Stones Pub is clearly a place to worship beer, but its menu is far from your typical pub-grub.
(page 1 of 3)
At a Glance
Two Stones Pub
2 Chesmar Plaza, Newark, 294-1890, twostonespub.com
Recommended Dishes
Tabasco-smoked pork, hog wings, Scottish salmon, beer
Starters and sandwiches: $5-$11
Entrées: $14-$22
Are you guys beer drinkers? Because…we have a lot of beer."
At Two Stones Pub, the "Are you a beer drinker?" question—posed by servers before each meal—is largely rhetorical. Proprietor Michael Stiglitz, the corporate chef behind The Pickled Pig Pub, is a bit of a beer nut, to put it Bud Light-ly, and his Two Stones pub is a literal shrine to ales and porters: "COME WORSHIP AT THE BEER TEMPLE," reads his takeout flyer. Flung in each corner of his cozy pub are Buddha statues, content smiles played across their faces and beer bellies hanging proudly.
If you are even remotely interested in craft beer, this is your Shangri-La. There is beer memorabilia every which way: antique cans of Big Buck beer, melted glass Flying Dog bottles, growlers, crates and on and on and on. Tin shingles line the wall, corresponding to tin beer signs and adverts. There are 25 rotating craft brews on draft, another 100 or so bottles, fun one-offs and reserve bottles, a cask beer engine, and "Randall the Enamel Animal," a Dogfish Head-engineered hop-infusing module.
Two Stones (not a euphemism, the owner swears) takes over the spot along Del. 4 previously occupied by Piece of Ireland, and Stiglitz has used the spot to germinate the ideas first introduced at Pickled Pig (as well as flagship Pig + Fish, both in Rehoboth): a relaxed gastropub vibe with a strong microbrew selection and elevated, Anglo-evoking fare. With Two Stones, he upped the ante. The goal here is destination drinking—a spot for beer geeks to gather, to quaff, and to compare en masse ABVs and IPAs; a place like Boston's Lord Hobo or ChurchKey in Washington, D.C.

Manchester United confirm British record deal for Di Maria
Manchester United have signed Argentina midfielder Angel di Maria from Real Madrid for a British record transfer fee of 59.7 million pounds ($98 million, 75 million euros), the English Premier League club announced on Tuesday.sports Updated: Aug 27, 2014 00:50 IST
Manchester United have signed Argentina midfielder Angel di Maria from Real Madrid for a British record transfer fee of 59.7 million pounds ($98 million, 75 million euros), the English Premier League club announced on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old's move, on a five-year contract, shatters the previous British record fee of 50m pounds paid by Chelsea to sign Spain striker Fernando Torres from Liverpool in 2011.
"Manchester United is delighted to announce that Angel di Maria has completed his transfer for a British record fee of 59.7 million pounds. Angel joins on a five-year contract," said a club statement.
United manager Louis van Gaal added: "Angel is a world-class midfielder but most importantly he is a team player. There is no doubting his immense natural talent.
"He is a tremendously fast and incisive left-footed player who puts fear into the most accomplished defence," the Dutchman explained.
"His dribbling skills and his ability to take on and beat opponents are a joy to watch. He is an excellent addition to the team."
Meanwhile, Di Maria said it was Van Gaal's "vision" for the English giants that had persuaded him to move to Old Trafford, even though United, are not in this season's Champions League following their unexpectedly lowly seventh place in last term's Premier League.
"I am absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester United," Di Maria said. "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Spain and there were a lot of clubs interested in me, but United is the only club that I would have left Real Madrid for.
"Louis van Gaal is a fantastic coach with a proven track record of success and I am impressed by the vision and determination everyone has to get this club back to the top - where it belongs. I now just cannot wait to get started."
Di Maria came through one of the most celebrated youth academies in Argentinian football in Rosario Central.
In 2007, he joined Portuguese club Benfica, before signing for Real Madrid in 2010.
The Argentina international has scored 10 goals in 52 appearances for his country.
His arrival in Manchester is the headline deal of United's overhaul under new manager Van Gaal, who had already spent a combined 72 million pounds on England left-back Luke Shaw, Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera and Di Maria's Argentina team-mate Marcos Rojo, who is also left-footed like him.
Di Maria could make his debut at Burnley on Saturday as van Gaal looks to revitalise a United team still without a win after the first two games of the new Premier League campaign.
Di Maria has an impressive pedigree after winning the Champions League with Real last season and the Spanish title in 2012.
He was also named on Fifa's 10-man shortlist for the best player at the recent World Cup in Brazil where Argentina reached the final, although he was unable to play in that game or the semi-final because of an injury he suffered in the quarter-final win over Belgium.

Team 93 Holds Lead, Bliksem Moves to Second
24 September 2009
As published by Audi - B-Plan
Porto Cervo, Italy - Claudio Recchi's Team 93 (ITA) remains in first place overall with three races run in the Audi Melges 32 World Championsip 2009 organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. Pieter Taselaar's Bliksem (USA) took a bullet in today's only race and climbed from yesterday's third place to sit in second place overall ahead of Stefano di Properzio's Mataran (ITA). Red (GBR), owned by James Woods, slipped from second overall to fourth after taking sixth place in today's race. Recchi, who is one of the most experienced Melges 32 owners, also avails of former Melges 24 World Champion Federico Michetti and American Olympic gold medalist Jonathan Mc Kee (1984, Flying Dutchman) on board. With three more days of racing to go and a possible seven more races to be held and a discard coming into play after race six, however, victory is by no means assured to any of the current leaders.
The start of racing today was delayed as the Race Committee headed onto the regatta course to see whether this morning's rain storm would pass over Porto Cervo and allow the games to commence. After recording winds of 15 to 17 knots accompanied by widely spaced swells coming in from the southeast and wind driven waves coming in from the northeast, the Committee, headed by PRO Peter "Luigi" Reggio deemed that racing would be challenging but secure and the first warning signal was given at 12.30 p.m.
"It was blowing at around 18 knots at the start from 050°, the seas were a bit messy but the conditions were not a problem for this class." Commented Reggio on his return to Porto Cervo Marina. "As the race went on the wind picked up to 25 to 26 knots and the seas were building. This is an owner-driver class and these conditions are tiring and we decided that for the safety of all it was better to send the fleet home. We still have three more days of racing left."
The windward leeward course set today was again approximately 7 nautical miles and it was Taselaar, with Australian brothers Jeremy (tactician) and Nathan (3 times 470 World Champion) Wilmot on board, who led the fleet across the finish line ahead of Team 93 and Mataran. Francesco Martino's Pilot Italia (ITA) took fourth place ahead of Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino (ITA).
Racing is scheduled to continue tomorrow, Friday 25th September, at 12 midday with a maximum of three races to be held on each race day. According to the forecast, conditions should improve tomorrow with light rain in the morning giving way to sunshine and northerly winds of approximately 14 to 18 knots.

Driving Dialogue
I think there is a big need for adults within our autism community to come together as advocates to have our voices heard. I've believed this ever since I started to become an advocate six years ago.
The popular image of autism today continues to focus primarily on children. The reality is that there are already many adults with autism who will be joined by a growing and staggering number of children. This is why our voices as adults with autism are so critical. We need to define the conversation to succeed as adults. We must communicate how we feel and what we need so we can pave the way and help those around us be ready for all the children who will become adults in the next decade.
I sometimes question if we are changing the conversation for those who are in that neutral area. During my graduate work, I took a course in persuasive communication keeping those people in mind. Not people who are our supporters already but those who are completely neutral about the conversation. The more media attention I see focused on children I can't help but believe those people in the middle also need to hear more from the adults on the spectrum. The conversation must be that we need more supports in the area of transition, training, employment, housing, insurance and medical care. Adult services need to be a national priority.
This need for this discussion came up a few weeks ago. I was giving a speech about having autism in my hometown for Autism Awareness Month. My presentation was centered on growing up on the spectrum and becoming a young adult on the spectrum. I don't want to overanalyze this, but talking about my early intervention and getting kicked out of two preschools was of greater interest to the audience than discussing the need for adult services.
I guess the discussion has to start with me. To quote one of my favorite lines …
"Children with autism do grow up, and we need to be ready for them."
I will now add …
"Adults with autism have grown up and we are not ready for them."
The reality is that too many young adults age out of school and services at 21 and face lives with reduced supports, services, and little opportunities. We have been able to offer hope to the children. Now it is time to have the conversation expand and be about hope for the adults in our community.
To that end I would encourage all adults with autism to contact me to begin the dialogue on what services have worked for you and what is still lacking. If you are already having the discussion, include me in your dialog. If we are going to make this a platform for the national agenda we need to come together with our many voices and speak as one adult community.

'48 Jeep CJ-2A - A Comedy Of ErrorsPosted in Project Vehicles on November 1, 2007
Last summer, I had a nasty hankering for a completely stock flattie. I had been scouring my online sources when I stumbled across a '48 CJ-2A listed for $2,000 in the California high desert. The photos looked good, he said it was all stock and running, and he claimed to have paperwork. He also pulled a sleazy salesman trick on me that got the desired effect: "A guy is on his way from Arizona to get it right now. First come gets it." I had my trailer loaded and was racing to his meth lab before you could say, "Bad idea."
Let me paint a picture for you. I arrive at his hovel in the methamphetamine production capitol of the world alone, driving a decent tow rig, pulling a nice trailer, and holding $2,000 in my pocket. I don't have a pistol, a baseball bat, or even a butter knife, and my only means of self-preservation is a cell phone that doesn't have a prayer of getting a service signal. The Jeep is in the backyard of his shack, surrounded by a chain-link fence. A not-too-friendly looking pit bull with one chewed ear and a gimpy right eye is roaming in and out of the only shade provided for it: the shadow cast by the Jeep. As I step out of my pickup, a 300-pound, 6-foot-4-inch, nasty, greasy Big Biker Boy appears from the screened porch and extends a filthy, scabby paw for me to shake. Mmmm, Purell.
We slide through the fence, and the hell hound makes a lunge for me. Thankfully, I caught a glimpse of the rope around the dog's neck, so I didn't scream like a sorority girl in a haunted house. He kicks the dog in the ribs, grabs the rope, and ties it off on a water spigot near a dead tree. Uh, animal cruelty. Good times.
5PhotosView Slideshow
I start to give the Jeep a quick walk around, but out of the corner of my eye, I catch movement in the rusted, screened-in porch. As I contemplate an escape route, I keep one eye on the figure inside and make small talk about the Jeep. "Oh, yeah, it's got a 12-volt conversion . . . (inner monologue: when the shotgun appears, throw the cash one way and vault over the fence the other way. He'll never catch you, and if you get around the corner of that neighbor's house 50 yards away, you'll be out of effective buckshot range) . . . You say your dad did all the bodywork? Interesting."
Fearing the worst and just wanting to get out of there with my skin intact as quickly as possible, I heard myself saying, "I'll take it." The rational portion of my brain was too busy keeping track of the person in the porch to intervene. As I handed over the cash and Big Biker Boy forked over a ratty wad of ripped paper he called the title, the dude's old lady-let's call her Party Mama-came out from the porch. In a toothless, tongue-slapping dialog, she said something to Big Biker Boy, but I was too busy trying the key to translate. A dead battery stymied my quick escape and my tow rig was out of jumper-cable range, so I had to wait while they searched for the "keys" to their car so we could jump it. A quick twist of a screwdriver later, and he fired up his truck and jumped the flattie's battery.
Although the engine fired up, I quickly noticed some real bad juju under the hood. First, the stock fuel pump was bypassed and a parts store electric was rigged in. The Jeep wouldn't stay running unless you kept the rpm up, but a bad sputter and white smoke out of the exhaust signaled bad news. A quick pull of the dipstick showed an oil milkshake, and the stock radiator was scaled up and looked clogged. I dropped the tranny into First, and the Jeep lunged forward with much grinding. I looked over at Big Biker Boy, who had earlier told me he frequently drove it around. Sure, dude, whatever. I made it onto the trailer, strapped it down, and hightailed it outta there thinking I'll never do that again.
9PhotosView Slideshow
Once at the nearest gas station, I gave it a real going over. The front driveshaft was in the bed, as were the front drive flanges and most of the oil-bath air-cleaner parts. The tranny wouldn't shift out of First gear and the T-case levers were frozen in 4WD Low range. The rear driveshaft was held on at the T-case with only two nuts, the passenger front axleshaft was fragged, and the body looked like . . . well, like Party Mama's face.
So that's my story. I paid way too much for a pile of 2A that needs everything, including a new tub (the old one is just too hammered). Follow along as I tap the 4WD Hardware catalog for enough parts and pieces to get the Jeep moveable on my property. Send an e-mail to me at email@example.com and tell me what you think I should do with the Bindle Bucket. Wanna see a full resto? Want me to drop in a Buick 225 and Waggy 44s? Want me to stick a rag in the gas tank and light it? We'll see.

2010 Menu Development survey: In menus, diversity rules
The results of the 2010 Menu Development Study, conducted annually by Foodservice Director, are in, and the survey says Asian is "in," Mediterranean has staying power, and Thai, Caribbean and Cuban will be making their way onto more non-commercial menus in the months to come.
The results are summarized in a sidebar below, and in four charts scattered throughout the article. But raw data doesn't often tell us the why—or why not. So, we asked 30 chefs and operators to tell us what's popular in their operations and why, as well as what is holding them back from expanding their menus even further.
The most frequent response to the open-ended question, "what is the most popular ethnic cuisine?" is Asian and that is true in most segments.
"I think the reason why students like it so much," suggests Craig Mombert, executive chef at Davidson College in North Carolina, "is because most people are familiar with Chinese food. It is not a stretch for many to give other types of cuisine, such as Thai or Korean, a shot. And they get to experience flavors that are not found traditionally in European and other Western cuisines."
Another reason, says Shawn Hoch, executive chef at Washington State University, is that a large number of customers are Asian.
"Our largest minority population on campus is Asian," Hoch says. "Chinese is most popular, but we also follow Japanese and Thai, and recently added Vietnamese pho to the menu, which has been well received. We also have been adding to our sushi concept and added dim sum to the menu."
Vaughn Vargus, executive chef at the University of California at San Diego, says, "At the top of the list would be our sushi/soba menu items. Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese are all very popular." Then, travel across the country to upstate New York, and Steven Miller, executive chef at Cornell University, will tell you: "Thai food is a very hot concept. Low food cost and big flavors help get this concept rolling." Miller worked with Chef Chai Siriyarn to open a Thai concept last fall, and he also brought in Indian chef and restaurateur Suvir Saran to bring Indian flavors to American foods such as macaroni and cheese, fried chicken and meatloaf.
Even universities in the "meat-and-potatoes" stronghold of America's Heartland see Asian items as popular. Few, however, have gotten as exotic as the University of Kansas in Lawrence.
"We recently served some Nepali dishes with positive feedback," says Executive Chef Janna Traver. "I believe this is due to the use of curries that provide a known ingredient. This allows us to incorporate some exotic flavors such as fenugreek, Szechuan peppercorns and cardamom."
But it is not only in higher education that the survey found that Asian is popular. In the Hillsborough County (Fla.) School District, Foodservice Director Mary Kate Harrison says it tops her menus "by far."
"Our Asian bowls with orange chicken or teriyaki beef are very popular, not only with students but also adults as well," she explains. "We have added sushi as an à la carte item, and it sells well in higher-income schools. Vegetarian and chicken egg rolls as main line entrées are very popular but not as wildly as the Asian bowls."
Debbie Mobley, foodservice director for the Clarksville Montgomery County (Md.) Schools, says orange chicken and rice is a particular favorite among her customers. "I think because it reminds them of chicken nuggets that are sauced."

How Mark Cuban Stands To Benefit From The Broadcast Flag: By Not Using It
from the it's-called-competition dept
With all the talk about the broadcast flag today, Mark Cuban has written a long note on his blog telling the FCC to call the entertainment industry's bluff. They claim they'll stop making content available for TV without the flag. Cuban says the FCC should see what happens. As many people have said in the past, it's unlikely the content industry would stop making content for TV. Where there's consumer demand, the content will go. In fact, Cuban makes the point perfectly at the end of his article: "Every single content entity I have would benefit from the broadcast flag. Not because it would protect content, it wouldn't. Content doesn't need any special protections. There are enough laws on the books regarding theft that no special content laws are needed. They all would benefit because we wouldn't use the broadcast flag. While the big networks would create confusion and anger with their customers, our businesses could be the knight in shining armour and provide content in exactly the means consumers want it, unencumbered and available to watch, where and how they like." Exactly.

It's hard to feel upbeat about spring weather if you suffer from seasonal
. While other people can spend all day outside without a sniffle, you can barely look at a field of grass or an oak tree without turning into a watery, miserable mess.
Lots of over-the-counter medications such as
relieve allergy symptoms by blocking histamine, a compound that triggers all of the hallmarks of an allergic reaction to pollen: runny nose, sneezing and itchy eyes.
If you're looking for a more natural way to combat pollen, you can choose from a wide variety of nutritional supplements that supposedly stop seasonal allergies in their tracks.
Allergy Support Plus, made by Health Products Distributors Inc., contains nettle leaf, turmeric and bromelain, among other natural ingredients. Take three capsules a day as recommended and you'll get 500 milligrams of
(more than eight times the recommended daily value) and 20 mg. of
(10 times the daily value). It's sold by some naturopaths, chiropractors and other alternative practitioners and can also be purchased online. A bottle of 60 capsules costs about $20.
PreHistin, which has been on the market only since March, supposedly stops allergies with a single active ingredient. The label calls it "cobalamin complex," a fancy term for
. Each cherry-flavored lozenge contains 3.3 mg. of B12, which is about 55,000% of the recommended daily value. Users are instructed to take two lozenges a day. You can buy a pack of 63 lozenges online or at a
drug store for about $30.
The claims
The website for Allergy Support Plus says it offers a "unique synergistic formula containing nutrients that naturally support the body's response to allergens." The site goes on to explain that
, minerals and herbs work together to block histamine and ease inflammation.
Hank Liers, the founder and president of Health Products Distributors, says the supplement can bring quick relief to anyone with allergies,
disease. "I've never seen anyone who used this and didn't get good results," he says.
A television commercial for PreHistin says that it is "proven to provide natural, non-drowsy relief." Dr. Paul Ratner, a San Antonio-based allergist and paid spokesman for the product (his signature is even on the box), says the high doses of B12 in PreHistin will block the release of histamine — eventually. "You should start taking it two weeks before allergy season starts," he says. "It doesn't work instantly."
An unpublished study funded by the company reportedly found that PreHistin reduced allergy symptoms by 1.3 points on a 12-point scale. That makes it more effective than Claritin or other over-the-counter antihistamines, Ratner says.
The bottom line
If nutritional supplements really are the answer to allergies, the word evidently has been slow to reach the allergist community. Dr. Corinna Bowser, a fellow of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology and a member of the academy's committee on complementary and alternative practices, says that neither Allergy Support Plus nor PreHistin is proven to work.
Of the two, she feels that Allergy Support Plus is probably more worth a try because it contains a wide variety of ingredients that at least have a reputation for relieving allergies, even if that reputation isn't always well supported.
In a small study of 69 allergy sufferers conducted more than 20 years ago, those who took 600 mg. of dried nettle leaf (a 50% bigger dose than you'd get from three capsules of Allergy Support Plus) every day for a week reported slightly fewer symptoms than those who took a
. A 2007 report in Alternative Medicine Review noted that "more rigorous trials are needed to confirm this finding."
Dr. H. James Wedner, chief of allergy and immunology at
University School of Medicine in St. Louis, says that none of the ingredients in Allergy Support Plus has any proven ability to prevent or relieve allergies. In his mind, the large doses of vitamins seem futile. "Ninety percent of that is just going to end up in your urine," he says.
Neither Wedner nor Bowser is aware of any evidence that the B12 in PreHistin would block histamine as claimed. Bowser contacted several of her fellow committee members and none of them had ever heard of using B12 supplements to treat seasonal allergies.
The company's studies of PreHistin aren't convincing because they haven't yet passed muster in a peer-reviewed medical journal, Bowser says. "The results look good, but you can make any results look good," she adds. (Ratner says plans to publish the studies are in the works.)
On the plus side, Bowser says even massive doses of vitamin B12 should be completely harmless. "It might not help. It could help. But at least it's safe," she says.
If a person feels better after taking either supplement, it's probably because they expected to feel better, Wedner says. In other words, it's likely the placebo effect in action.
"I bet if I came up with a nice, pretty pill, they'd get just as much relief," he says.

A winter plumaged Mediterranean Gull - (Sacha Barbato)
Over the weekend, I decided to spend time cogitating in Folkestone, Kent. I've recently decided that it is important to have time away from the daily pressures in order to figure out ideas and generally replenish the creative reservior. The coming week will be a busy one for me as I will be giving four feature length talks including two RSPB groups in Twickenham and Woodbridge in Suffolk, plus I'll be speaking at the Destinations Travel Show in Earls Court and at Slimbridge WWT next Sunday at their Festival of Birds weekend.
I was nice to stroll along the seafront at Sandgate, on the eastern end of Folkstone watching the gulls stream past. They were mostly Herring Gulls, but I counted a fair number of Black-heads plus at least 30 Mediterranean Gulls. Those white-winged wonders have been a particular favourite of mine for years. I just love their graceful look and those glorious white wings.
Indeed, I saw my first ever Med Gull a few miles down the coast at The Patch at Dungeness back in the early '80s'. I remember fretting about whether I would be able to recognise one when I saw it and if I would struggle from deciphering it from the far more common Black-headed Gulls. I need not have worried because when I eventually saw one it seemed so obvious. I must say that I rarely have trouble spotting adult birds these days. I've just lock into them now.
Anyway, mulling ideas are over with now. Time to start the week.


text: The Wichita North Redskins showed something not many people thought they could accomplish Friday night: the ability to win without their best player. The Redskins pulled themselves together and showed they could not only survive, but continue to be successful after a 67-63 overtime victory over the Scott City Beavers in a semifinal of the 70thTournament of Champions at United Wireless Arena. "Our team has a lot of heart and we never get up." said junior guard Zach Beard. "We push from start to end. We knew they were real fast and tough. They don't know how to lose and they didn't give up either." The game between two unbeaten teams went about as expected with each squad getting the other's best punch until midway through the second quarter. That's when Kansas Jayhawk recruit Conner Frankamp, who averages 35 points a game and scored 38 in a first round win over Buhler, was undercut attempting a slam and landed on his head. Frankamp had a laceration on the left side of his head and stayed on the court as trainers tended to him for 20 minutes before being wheeled on a chair to the locker room. The Redskins (11-0) stayed in control of their emotions and grew up a lot as they never let up despite the number of times the Beavers (8-1) continued to come back. Beard finished with 17 points for the Redskins, while Tarius Williams added 12 and Sean Bernard had eight points to go with his nine rebounds in the win. Beard had already established himself before the Frankamp injury and he kept his team in the game emotionally with all of the chaos surrounding it. �"We just had to overcome with losing one of our best players," Beard said. "We just used that anger and took it to them.��Our coaches said it was a hard break. We knew he was down for the count, but we wanted to get this win for him and the rest of the team. "This gives us a lot more confidence going into the second half of the season; not just for the City League, but for the state tournament." Scott City had three players score in double figures. Joey Meyer scored 19 and grabbed nine rebounds, Drew Kite scored 18 and had 11 rebounds, and Austin Habiger scored 10 points. The Redskins led 20-16 after the opening period, with North scoring eight points off of turnovers. Beard scored eight and Frankamp six during the stanza. Scott City was able to stay close by hitting six of its 11 shots in the quarter. North started to pull away in the second quarter until Frankamp's injury. The Redskins led 32-25 on two free throws after Frankamp left the game; but the Beavers scored nine of the last 11 points to trail 36-34 at halftime. Beard had 13 points for the Redskins and Frankamp added nine before leaving the game. Meyer scored 14 points and grabbed five boards while Austin Habiger added nine points as the Beavers were 13-of-24 from the field. The two teams traded the lead three times and tied twice in the third quarter as neither team was going to give an inch. Kite hit a short basket just before the buzzer to put the Beavers up 49-48. Kite had nine points in the stanza. The final quarter continued to see a number of lead changes and ties with neither team able to break away. Both teams had a chance to record the win in the final 10 seconds, but neither took advantage and were tied 60-60 at the end of regulation. SCOTT CITY (63) – Brett O'Neil 1-8 7-9 9, Brent Meyer 1-2 0-0 2, Tyler Hess 1-3 0-0 2, Austin Habiger 3-10 1-2 10, Anthony Wilson 1-3 0-0 3, Joey Meyer 9-12 1-2 19, Drew Kite 6-11 6-9 18.

Stupid Copyright Licensing Tricks Strike Again: NBC Can't Show Viral SNL Pandora Intern Clip
from the but-the-rest-of-the-internet-can dept
Of course, this is the internet, so the clip was quickly uploaded all over the place, and while some of those sources have already seen it pulled down, others still seem to have it up. At the time of this posting, eBaum's World appears to have a working copy.
The end result, though, is nothing but stupidity. NBC doesn't get to show the clip more widely and get the promotional benefits. It also doesn't get the ad revenue that would have gone alongside its own hosted clips. Instead, other sites get the attention and the traffic.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Drew Brees threw three touchdown passes and Malcolm Jenkins returned an interception for a score to get the New Orleans Saints back to .500 with a 38-17 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
Lance Moore caught two touchdown passes and Mark Ingram ran for a TD as the Saints (5-5) won for the fifth time in six games since an 0-4 start. They are in position to make a late-season playoff run despite the season-long distraction from the bounty scandal.
The Raiders (3-7) lost their third straight game under first-year coach Dennis Allen as their banged-up defense got picked apart by Brees' precision passing. Oakland has allowed 135 points in those defeats - the most in a three-game span for the franchise since allowing 141 in the first three games in 1961.

1979 Jeep CJ-5 - Logic DefiedPosted in Project Vehicles on September 1, 2008
An off-road Jeep shouldn't look this nice. A well-used engine compartment shouldn't be this shiny. A little AMC engine shouldn't make this much power. A high-compression ratio and huge boost numbers shouldn't live on pump gas. And a hard-working, blue collar guy with a family shouldn't be able to spend a full month in Glamis each year. Good thing nobody told any of that to Robert Byrne.
A masonry contractor from Riverside, California, Robert is way into taking advantage of the finer things Southern California living has to offer. Namely, rust-free Jeeps and huge open areas in which to enjoy them. He bought the little '79 CJ-5 you see here 18 years ago and has been constantly building it ever since.
We had the pleasure of hanging out with Robert both in camp and in the dunes on a recent Glamis trip. The dude is all about having fun and his Jeep is all about, well, having fun. In fact, after being exposed to Robert's brand of fun we found ourselves trying to figure how to fit a turbo to our flattie. Or build a blown big-block sand Jeep. Who says the afflicted can't get infected?
Chassis And Driveline
Okay, let's not dance around the issue. The star of the show is clearly the Paxton blown AMC engine. So what is it? A honkin' 401 stroker? A juiced-up 360? Nope, it's a teeeeny little 304. In fact, it's the original '79 block that the Jeep left the factory with. But that's where factory ends.
For starters, the little AMC 304 was gutted and given a quality rebuild. The refurbished crank is a stock AMC part and the stock rods have been shot peened to relieve stress risers and increase strength. In a fit of glorious defiance, a set of 10:1 forged TRW pistons were fitted to the rods and slung in the block. That's a lot of compression for a normally aspirated engine, let alone a supercharged one! A set of iron AMC heads was ported and polished, fitted with upgraded valves, good springs, and roller rockers to better deal with the high-lift Crane camshaft. The whole shebang was topped with an Edelbrock Torker intake and an MSD Pro-Billet distributor to zap the mixture. Boosted engines need a lot of spark, so the MSD is a worthwhile addition. And so are the Thorley headers that dump into DynoMax Ultra Flow race mufflers.
To fit the blow-through Paxton setup, Robert got super high-tech. After all, there were no off-the-shelf brackets to mate the centrifugal supercharger to the AMC block. But it wasn't a machine shop with a fancy CNC-cutter that built the slick aluminum blower mount. Instead, Robert and a buddy went elbows deep on a 1-inch-thick sheet of aluminum with a jigsaw, drill, and tap. The results are impressive.
6PhotosView Slideshow
With the blower affixed to the block, a triple belt pulley was machined down to fit the AMC harmonic balancer. The resulting 10 psi of boost blowing through the Barry Grant 750-cfm Demon carburetor could result in belt slippage if fewer belts were used. By the way, that much boost puts a tremendous amount of stress on the factory cast crank. We wonder how Robert has gotten so many seasons out of the engine without the crank snout snapping off. And we have no idea how an all-iron engine with 10:1 compression can live with 10 psi of boost while sucking down only crappy 91-octane California pump gas. But it does. Color us amazed.
Behind the estimated 475hp small-block lies another slap to the gods of convention. Instead of a big TF727 tranny there is a little TF904 that's been fitted with a 4,000-rpm torque converter, a shift kit, and all the goodies by Koehl's Transmission in Riverside. A B&M Megashifter toggles the gears and sends the power back to the factory Dana 300 T-case that's still running the stock output shafts and gears.
Underneath, logic is further defied. The factory AMC Model 20 rearend is completely stock down to the two-piece shafts, drum brakes, Trac-Lok limited slip, and 3.54 gears. We know Robert's Jeep sees mostly sand use, but come on! We've broken these things in a grocery store parking lot!
Up front the factory disc brake Dana 30 axle is just as stock, with the exception of a Lock-Right locker fitted to the factory carrier and a pair of Warn locking hubs.
And as for the frame and suspension, they're pretty much as Jeep intended. There's a set of Superlift 2-inch lift springs and some shorty Bilstein 5150 shocks, but otherwise it's all stock '79 CJ-5.
Body And Interior
Yeah, it's shiny. For the paint nerds, it's Holley Red, whatever that is. Believe it or not, it was shot by Maaco and it looks a mile deep in person. The whole tub-above, below, inside and out-is coated with a combination of paint and powdercoat. The bumpers are chrome pieces and the flares were removed. Both give the Jeep a slick look, as do the honkin' Dick Cepek 900 halogen lights hung up front.
3PhotosView Slideshow
Inside the full rollcage rests a center console, a pair of buckets, and a rear bench seat that were covered in leather by Lil' J's in Riverside. There's also a Lecarra removable steering wheel, a CD player with huge speakers, and full Simpson harnesses for the occupants. Inside the custom aluminum dash lies a full complement of AutoMeter Sport Comp gauges.
Good, Bad & What's It For
We were really surprised at the amount of factory parts still left on this Jeep. And while we don't see how in the world the factory rear survives the engine power and bite afforded by the 16.50 DuneSport paddles on 15x15 Douglas wheels, we can see why Robert kept the factory master cylinder, fuel tank, and other key components.
6PhotosView Slideshow
We also like how Robert upgraded key elements necessary for surviving big dune driving, such as the cooling system, steering, and fuel delivery. For starters, there's a direct-fit BeCool aluminum radiator and a FlowKooler water pump to ensure overheating isn't an issue. An AGR box and pump help turn the front tires. And a huge, honkin' Mallory competition fuel pump and filter ensure that the boost-referenced fuel pressure regulator gets the volume of fuel it needs to keep power levels up and detonation at bay.
Why I Featured It
Come on, it's a super clean Jeep that breaks the rules and bucks convention. Plus Robert is a pretty fun guy. You can have the nicest Jeep in the world, but if you're a dink I'm gonna walk away without shooting a single photo. I like overkill. And while a 304 engine or 475 hp isn't exactly overkill, a huge centrifugal blower, monster boost, and sky-high compression is. I'm on board with living on the edge. Why be normal?-Christian Hazel

Finding myself on the eastern seaboard having grown up in California, I am sometimes confronted with odd questions like: What do I call someone from Massachusetts? How about Connecticut? Maine? What other slang nicknames are there?
The answers: A Bay Stater,* Nutmegger, and Mainer. At least that's what Infoplease.com lists (here). About.com has a few more fun nicknames (list here) like Highlander (Colorado), Husker (Nebraska), Hoosier (Indiana), and the ubiqutous Cheesehead (Wisconsin).
* G-rated version. Also a less-than-kind but seemingly commonplace conjunction of Mass-achusetts and a-hole-(in-the-ground).

Can XP track what USB Puppy does?
Subject description: Question on data privacy while using Puppy Linux
I have successfully created a puppy linux bootable USB Flash drive and am able to boot my XP machine from a oower off into puppy linux.
The XP computer is given to me by my company
I want to keep my banking and other multimedia transactions private and not have the company track websites or files etc. So if i boot into puppy linux, any activity that i do will be private because i am on flash drive only with no usage of hard drive or can XP still track all the activity even when i have not powered the laptop using XP ?
please clarify

The short answer is no. XP cannot be running when Puppy is running, therefore XP cannot know anything about what Puppy is up to -- unless Puppy is stupid enough to modify any XP files. Even then, XP won't know who did it.

If you are a private individual Wardog might be of interest
otherwise the cost is
$350,000 per copy, per seat, per day of usage
However a standard Puppy is fine

One variant of usage of "Puppy Linux" OS: booting from the CD, installation of programs from the CD, and at that there is no available devices such as HDD or Flash device - only FDD device is in use.
That could only be a multisession CD or DVD, which Puppy excels at.
I've been running Puppy from a multisession DVD in a computer without a hard disk drive (or floppy disk drive) for about 5 years. It suits my computing needs perfectly. The only possible disadvantage I can see is that it takes longer to boot from multisession CD or DVD than from USB or hdd, and it requires at least 256 MB of RAM.

Subject description: traking
You pose a great question, My answer is - Yes.
- The folks before me gave good answers to a point, and I think Flash has an excellent solution, I would ask, if there is a way for PUPPY to shut down the laptop hardrive, but onto my speal:
- Go do some work in (Puppy) an Office doc or spreadsheet, maybe write some emails.
- Reboot to Windows
- Do a search - My Computer - leave the file name open - set date for 1 day - click - Advanced Options and chkmark - system - hidden - subfolders
- I'll bet there are over 24 files showing log and dat extensions, among them will be the USB files and they will be in the logs guaranteed. If fastfind is enabled, the results are even worse.
- The one and only thing WIN does flawlessly is generate a tattletale group of logs, it even places them in a network server for you! - You have to shutdown 70% of the services, change the names of about 40 dll and exe files to stop most of this bahavior, and yet it still will produce over 5 logs as it "barely functions", but the extra 2/3 processor power released makes it unbelievably fast with standard programs ;)
- Now let us consider a document that is used in ms office and Puppy office - there may be changes of Fonts that are logged, of course some of the hidden editing changes can have time an date discrepancy.
- Geany produced documents will have a ms font substitution logged, as well as web pages created in Seamonkey.
- Images processed in both carry embedded info to be snatched and logged.
- Not wanting to belabor the problem by examples, the only sure way is use 2 seperate PCs, not interchanging USB stick. - That said, there are some interesting papers and products that could assist double use.
- Help with understanding the forensic analysis techniques on a PC
- A true on the fly encrption source, with some really deep white papers.
- I've down loaded a stick with most of these, but have yet to try them.
- Have a drive setup with these presently, the Suite opens and seems to operate, some of the other programs, Firefox 3+ will not run on w98 but is ok on xp, some of the other programs do write registry keys.
- Portable apps has a conversion feature for programs you own, I'm thinking of also using it to convert the Sandaloneapps programs, for they don't write registry keys.

If you must . . .
disable the hard drive in the bios each time you use the USB
If you feel really vulnerable (no reason to) then unplug the hard drive

Exactly so.
When you boot Puppy
this comes up
If you now type in "puppy pfix=ram"
without the speech marks
Puppy runs in ram. Do not save your settings when you close down
Puppy is like a ghost. It was never on the computer . . .
