Vehicle Profile: The 2012 Jeep® Wrangler Call of Duty®: MW3 Special Edition
Gaming goes off road with Jeep.
and Activision Publishing, Inc. have once again joined forces to create a unique version of the Jeep Wrangler. The 2012 Jeep
Wrangler Call of Duty
: MW3 Special Edition features a range of aggressive Mopar exterior accessories and custom interior detail to celebrate the launch of one of the most hotly anticipated video game of the year – Call of Duty
: Modern Warfare
3. The special-edition Wrangler, based on the rugged Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, is available in both two- and four-door Wrangler Unlimited configurations.
The 2012 Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty
: MW3 Special Edition is available in Black or Bright Silver and comes with Rubicon wheels dressed in semi-gloss black. Unique "Call of Duty: MW3 Special Edition" graphics adorn the front fenders and spare tire cover, and a one-of-a-kind power dome hood gives this Wrangler an extra shot of attitude. Each example of the special-edition Wrangler comes packed with enough Mopar accessories to tackle any battlefield including a winch-ready front bumper with foglamps and half-inch tow loop main plates, a heavy-duty rear bumper, rock rails and taillight guards, in addition to other components.
Jeep and Activision Publishing, Inc. have also packed this Wrangler with the best in off-road equipment including aggressive 32-inch tires, live axles with locking differentials in both the front and the rear and a stout two-speed transfer case. You can also outfit the Call of Duty
: MW3 Special Edition with a genuine Warn winch, a two-inch lift kit and classic five-spoke wheels.
Inside, model-specific black seats with Call of Duty
logos embroidered into the headrests and attractive accent stitching continue the theme. Even the vehicle's gauge cluster boasts special, Modern Warfare
3 graphics, and a serialized dashboard plaque identifies this Wrangler as one of an elite group.
Every 2012 Jeep
Wrangler now benefits from a new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that manages to be both more powerful and more efficient than the outgoing engine. Winner of the prestigious
10 Best Engines Award, the V6 delivers 285 hp and 260 lb/ft of torque in the Wrangler. The engine generates an impressive 40 percent more horsepower and 10 percent more torque than the previous-generation 3.8-liter V6, all while delivering increased fuel economy. The EPA estimates 2012 Wrangler fuel economy at up to 21 mpg highway.
The refinement doesn't stop there. The 2012 Wrangler is also available with a new five-speed automatic transmission, which replaces a four-speed automatic. With greater efficiency and smoother shifts, the new automatic greatly improves drivability on-road while retaining the tough off-road character Wrangler buyers have come to love.
Finally, the 2012 Jeep Wrangler now comes equipped with a revised interior that focuses on quality materials, unsurpassed passenger comfort and unmatched versatility. As a member of the 2012 Wrangler family, the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty: MW3 Special Edition comes packed with all of these features and more.
The 2012 Jeep
Wrangler Call of Duty
: MW3 Special Edition is the pinnacle of off-road and gaming enthusiasm. With legitimate performance hardware, genuine Mopar accessories and the style to match, the Wrangler Call of Duty: MW3 Special Edition is unlike anything that's come before it.

Nance Gregg's nails it at DU
by GFORD, Mon May 12, 2008 at 11:14:47 AM EDT
Anyone who isn't a follower of Nance Greggs on DU will be after reading her latest diary on the Clinton/Obama blog wars we all love (hate?) so much.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/dis cuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum= 132&topic_id=5930812&mesg_id=593 0812
There has been much discussion at DU over the past few months about how posters have gone crazy as a result of their dedication to one candidate or the other.
I don't think we're quite there yet, but I have compiled a list of things to watch for whereby we will all know that true insanity has set in ...
While the list primarily references DU member comments, the sentiment is universal. For example:
Due to the foul language and personal threats contained in every post about politics, only threads posted in the Cooking & Baking Group will be considered for publication on the Greatest Page.
Do head over and check it out. You won't be disappointed...good for a laugh.

A West Babylon man who works for the New York State DOT has been arrested by the Nassau DA's office for allegedly falsifying the records he kept in connection with the state's H.E.L.P. roadside assistance program.
According to officials, Brian Miller, 55, a HELP program supervisor, was snared in a dual-agency investigation with the state inspectors office and charged with four counts of falsifying business records and one count of official misconduct. Miller was arrested with one other, Dominick Iannolo, 44, of Lake Ronkonkoma, for the same charges. Both men are due back in court September 11.
In a statement released by District Attorney Kathleen Rice, the charges claim that in July and August of 2010, Miller, while acting as a supervisor and truck operator in the roadside assistance program, was assigning cases to his own vehicle and then logging in assistance to vehicles that was never performed. According to the release, each time a H.E.L.P truck comes to the aid of a stranded vehicle, the operator must enter the vehicle type, license plate number and description of duty into a daily log.
Rice said Miller was logging in actual license plates of vehicles whose owners claimed they were never assisted by a H.E.L.P truck, and some of the license plate numbers he recorded did not exist in state DMV records.
Rice indicated that Iannolo and Miller's motivation for the fraud was to avoid decreases in HELP Program state funding, which could include their own job security.
"Instead of helping drivers in need, these defendants were cooking the books by reporting work they never did," Rice stated in the release. "With federal and state budgets stretched thin, policymakers need to make funding decisions based on accurate information, not the fabrications of a couple of self-interested workers."
If convicted, both Iannolo and Miller could face up to one year in jail. Assistant DA Kristofer Kasnicki is prosecuting the case. Both men are represented by Michael DerGarabedian, Esq.

With Emmanuel Adebayor struggling with a hamstring injury after the Arsenal match, and seeing his price coming back down to cost, I'm playing with a few line-up changes for this week.
Franco Di Santo has been hit or miss this season, but hosting a struggling Bolton Wanderers side he could find himself in the points. The extra money saved then goes to upgrade Dedryk Boyata (goal notwithstanding) to Swansea City's Angel Rangel.
What adjustments have you made after the first round of international fixtures?

Readers are requested to listen to Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami Gari Pravachanam in telugu.
There are totally 12 Volumes and each volume contains 12 videos.
Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami laughs at one incident where people beat their chests to tell that their house belongs to them and it is their own.
He tells they should ideally beat their home to tell that the house belongs to them rather than beating their chests.
Our desires are not permanent as desires which are there today will not be there tomorrow.
There are only 108 upanishads available today though there were more than 1000 upanishads in the past.
In krishna yagurvedam there are 2 upanishads Kato Upanishad and Taittiriya Upanishad.
Taittiriya Upanishad Siksha Valli gives us siksha for Bhrigu Valli and Brahmananda Valli.
Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami says results of karma are temporary and completeness is not achieved Whereas moksha is in the form of jnana.
Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami says Mediation comes under karma kanda only as it is upasana.
Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami says god is everywhere and god is dharma.
God is not sitting anywhere and is seen in dharma in this world.
Dharma(order) is there in this world like fish can live only in water but not in milk..and as said in bhagavad gita "i am fire of digestion in every living body"...
So dharma is god.
Homage to Guru:
Before we start any vedic or mantra chanting, it is necessary that we pay homage to our Guru and secure His blessings to start and successfully complete the chanting / Japam etc.,
Those who have not yet identified a Guru can chant the following sloka instead and think of the Supreme Almighty as the very Guru:
"Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu Gurur Devo Maheshwarah
Gurus sakshat para Brahma thasmai sri Gurave Namah"
Introduction to the Shanti Mantra:
Devas place obstacles in men's way to Brahmavidya - the mantra for removal of such obstacles is the Shanti Mantra. Devas are put to much pain when men realise the identity of the self and Brahman and it is quite contrary to the wishes of the Devas that men should acquire Brahmavidya, so Devas put obstacles in the way of men who wish to acquire Brahmavidya. The great sage Pathanjali has defined a few of the Obstacles: "disease, dullness, doubt, carelessness, sloth, worldly-mindedness, misconception, missing the point and unsteadiness are the causes of the mind's distraction and they are the obstacles".
I. Shanti Mantra:
(Anuvaga 1 of Sikshavalli)
The uttering of the word "Shanti" three times is intended to ward off the troubles that occur on the path to Wisdom. The three kinds of troubles being:
1.Adhyatmika: Bodily causes like fever, pain in the head and so on
2.Adhidaivika: Troubles from Devas etc.,
3.Adhibhauthika: Troubles from Yakshas, Rakshasas etc.,
It is for the cessation of these three troubles that we utter the word "Shanti" thrice. Also in the shanti mantra, we praise specifically each of the Devas like Brahma, Vayu, Varuna, Indra etc, and secure their blessings for uninterrupted chanting.
Note: Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami says crow and kokila(Cuckoo/nightingale) are of same color and have similar features and it is difficult to identify(different them).
But in vasanta rutuvu(Spring) we can get the difference as kokila starts rhyming beautiful hymns where as crow does not a cute tone.
Similarly fake and genuine swami look alike and put kashaya clothes but when asked to explain few texts like upanishads fake swami will tell some reason or other and escape.
II. Study of Phonetics: ('Siksha')
(Anuvaga 2 of Sikshavalli)
Why should one be careful in reciting mantras? There are mantras to be recited in a high pitched tone, short, long etc., and also there are differences in the intensity of effort, pronunciation of sound in the middle tone and conjunction of several sounds etc., on various mantras. These are variously called in sanskrit as: varnam, swaram, matra(i),bhalam, chandas etc.,
Hence, carelessness will lead to evil. The mantras when wrongly used, conveys not the intended idea and meaning. That speech or prayer will ruin the worshipper.
Note: Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami says In sanskrit there are totally 50 letters.
if we include 'gna' also then there 51 letters.
There are totally 51 shakti pithas in india as there are 51 letters.
Shakthi means divine mother and so sanskrit belongs to divine mother.
Divine Mother will always be in the left side of Lord Shiva.
Only in telugu language we write from left to right i.e anticlock wise representing shakti mother who stays on left side.
Appaya Dikshutulu famous tamil poet has praised a lot on telugu and its language.He said it would have been good if he were born in andhra pradesh.
That is why it is said "Desha basha landu telugu lessa".
Sri Sundara Chaitanya swami says both cat and tiger carry their new born babies with their teeth only.
But their kids will not get injured even though their mother carry in this manner.
Animals can speak at max 1 or words like 'Amba' , 'Meeee' but only god has given gift to humans to speak/sing.
III. Brahma Varchasa:
(Anuvaga 3 of Sikshavalli)
The vedic study is to direct the mind towards certain contemplations which is calculated to secure fruits of this and the future world.
Brahma Varchasa is the luster that accrues from a study of the Veda. This mantra is intended to accrue fame and luster to the student (sishya) as well as to the master (guru). The sacred teaching about conjunction is declared in five objects namely: - in the worlds, in the lights, in knowledge, in progeny and in the self. (progeny: Sons, grandsons etc.,)
As to the worlds: Earth is the first form, next Heaven, the Interspace - the junction and Air the medium. (3.1)
As to the lights: Fire is the first form, Sun the second, Water - the junction and lightning the medium.(3.2)
As to knowledge: Guru is the first, Sishya the second, Knowledge - the junction and instruction the medium.(3.2,3)
As to progeny: Mother is the first, Father the second, Progeny - the junction and procreation the medium.(3.3)
As to Self: Lower jaw is the first form, Upper jaw the second, speech - the junction and tongue the medium.(3.4)
Note: Sri Sundara Chaitanya swami says previously in old vedic days where there is no lord krishna,lord shiva and other main popular gods hence they used to do mediation on one of the five elements as described above.
junction means sandhi in telugu.
medium means sandhanam in telugu.
So earth,fire,guru,mother,lower jaw are the first form in various categories.
Lower jaw is important and is in first form as while we are talking only lower jaw is the base for the upper jaw as without lower jaw upper jaw cannot help in speaking.
Prayers for Health and Wealth:
(Anuvaga 4 of Sikshavalli)
One who wishes to acquire retentive power recites this mantra. This obtains Medha and Sri. (Intelligence and Fortune). "Be sweetest my tongue. With ears much may I hear - as becoming be competent for Athma Jnana" - These mantras are repeated by one who wishes to improve the retentive power of memory. (4.1)
The mantras with which the seeker of fortune should offer oblations:- "Bring in to me an ever increasing amount of clothes and kinds of food and drink, doing this long, do you then bring to me fortune woolly along with cattle? May devotees of Brahman come to me from every side. Variously come to me. Well-equipped devotees may come to me. Self-controlled devotees may come to me. Peaceful devotees may come to me." - swaha. (4.2)
Prayer for fame: - "I may become famous among people. I may become superior to the wealthiest." (4.3)
Prayer for union with the Divine: - "O God! Enter me in to you (your sheath of Brahman). Having entered in to you, may I not be other than yourself. O Lord, do you also enter in to me. Let us be one alone in the Self. In you alone (as in a river of a thousand branches), I wash all acts of sins." (4.3)
Prayer for many disciples: - "As water runs to the lowest level, as months in to the year, so unto me devotees of Brahman may come (swaha). You shine forth to me. Do you come unto me. Do you make me one with Yourself as the metallic head of an arrow becomes one with the body it pierces into." (4.3)
Note: Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami says Whatever we leave is not ours.
Contemplation of the Vyahritis:
(Anuvaga 5 of Sikshavalli)
Brahman is otherwise termed as Hiranya garbha.
Contemplation as the worlds: Three other subordinate devatas are also contemplated in this verse viz., - Bhuh, Bhuvah and Suvah. The fourth one is Mahah. This is discovered by a Rishi son of "Maahachamasya" and thus the contemplation of the Rishi forms an integral part of the upasana. It is described that Mahah (the Sun) is Brahman. It is the Atman as well and the other gods are its limbs. (It is contemplated that Bhuh is this world; Bhuvah - the mid region; Suvah -the other world; Mahah - the Sun) (5.1)
Contemplation as the Gods: By the Sun indeed all worlds excel. The contemplation in this verse being that:- Bhuh is verily the Agni (fire); Bhuvah - Vayu (air); Suvah - Aditya (the sun); Mahah - Chandramas (the moon) and it is by chandramas that all luminaries excel. (5.2)
Contemplation as the Vedas: Bhuh verily as the rig veda; Bhuvah - the sama veda; Suvah - the yajur veda; Mahah - the Brahman. By Brahman indeed all the vedas excel.Brahman, in this context, is the syllable 'OM'. (5.3)
Contemplation as life breaths: Bhuh as the upward life breath; Bhuvah - the downward life breath; Suvah - the pervading life; Mahah - the food. By food indeed all lives excel. (5.3)
Thus, the Vyahritis become four-fold, each four-fold being in four forms. He who contemplates them knows Brahman. To him all Devas offer tribute.
Contemplation of Brahman:
(Anuvaga 6 of Sikshavalli)
In the bright space within the heart He is, that Soul who is formed of thought, undying full of light. In the mid region of the throat's two pillars, that which hangs down like a nipple, that is the birth place of Indra, where the hair ends splits up dividing the two regions of the skull. (6.1)
In Agni as Bhuh he rests, in Vayu as Bhuvah, in Aditya as Suvah, in Brahman as Mahah. He attains self lordship. He attains to the lord of manas, the lord of speech (vak), the lord of sight (chakshu), the lord of hearing (srodra), the lord of intelligence (vgnyana). Then he becomes as the Brahman whose body is the bright space, whose nature is love, whose delight is life, whose manas is bliss, who is replete with peace, who is immortal. (6.2)
In other words, the contemplator becomes a svaraj, i.e., an independent lord due to contemplation of the Divine Being. To him all gods will offer tribute in subordination to him.
Contemplation of Brahman in the invisible:
Note: Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami says Mind impact will be there in the body and vice versa is also true.
Suppose if we loose 10 lakhs though our mind gets affected but immediately our body gets impacted like we may sit down crying for some time etc.
Man breathes 21,600 in a day.
He says in people who are pandit in Sora Sastram can even predict the life-span of human depending on breathing. (kumbaka,rechaka)
He praised Swami Rama Tirtha a lot and eloborated his life span and sais his jivita charitra was his inspiration in his childhood.
(Anuvaga 7 of Sikshavalli)
Contemplation of Hiranyagarbha: Earth is the mid region, heaven the main quarters and the intermediate quarters are Agni, Vayu, Aditya and Chandramas and the Nakshatras. Waters, plants, trees, the bright space (Aakasa) and the Athman (Soul) thus far among the external beings.
Contemplation as to the Self: Prana, vyana, apana, udana, samana ; the eye, the ears, the manas, speech, touch, skin, flesh, muscle, bone, marrow;
Prana - in the heart; Apana - in the anus; Samana - in the navel; Udana - in the region of throat; Vyana - traverses the whole body.
Pankta verily, is this all: by Pankta indeed does one the pankta strengthen. (Yajna is a pankta)
Contemplation of Pranava:
(Anuvaga 8 of Sikshavalli)
OM is Brahman. OM is this all. OM is verily compliance and on uttering "O recite", they begin to recite. With OM they begin samans. OM SOM - with this they tell the prayers. OM - Thus does the adhvaryu convey acceptance. OM - thus assents the Brahma (priest). OM - thus one permits the offering of an oblation to fire. OM - thus says the Brahmana who is about to recite - "May I obtain Brahman" - thus wishing Brahman verily does he obtain. (Adhvaryu - the priest who performs the acts enjoined in the Yajurveda)
A Brahmana utters OM and OM alone and by that syllable OM, he attains Brahman.
All undertakings which start with the syllable OM become fruitful, therefore one should contemplate the syllable OM as Brahman.
Note: Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami says If we live without thoughts then our mind/buddhi can become hard useless(moddu/banda baripovatam).
Only If we think we will get buddhi(buddi kalugutundi).
By doing karma then our suddhi will get clean and will become available for getting jnana.
Upasaka's Duties:
(Anuvaga 9 of Sikshavalli)
This Anuvaga describes the duties of a Upasaka towards the following as well as the need for study and teaching:
the right, truth, penance, restraint, peace, the fire, offerings to fires, guests, the human, the off spring, begetting, propogation of the race as well as studying and teaching.
The right: - the learning of one's own veda and pravachana - which means either adhyapana - the teaching of it (or) Brahma Yajna - a daily solemn recitation of it;
truth: - truth speaking;
penance: - tapas or bodily mortification;
restraint: - Dama-calmness of the organs of external sensation; Tranquility (Sama) - calmness of manas, the internal organ;
While practising these, fires should be consecrated and oblations offered to them;
guests should be honoured;
the human - that is - social duties (such as marriages) should be discharged as occasions arise;
off spring should be begotten by having intercourse with wife in season at periods favorable for conception;
the race should be propagated through children's children, by getting the sons married.
Definition of Penance: He who thus knowing studies the vedas even when it rains and lightens, when it roars and thunders, when the wind is blowing even on the new moon day, he only practices penance; study, indeed is penance. Standing or walking sitting or lying down, he shall not fail to recite the Veda; then he is a man of penance, he is pure, who thus knowing recites the Veda.
Note: Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami says according to bg gita man cannot be silent even for a minute without doing karma.
In East Godavari Districts they call salt as 'Ruchi'.
We should always speak truth.
Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami says "Srama yeva Jayante" is wrong and "Satyameva Jayante" is correct.
All sep11 attacks(as the persons involved would have done much srama) and all wrong deeds will also come under "Srama yeva Jayante" so that is the reason it is wrong.
Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami says in olden days when anyone died relatives will come to know say after 5-6 months as there was no communication available like telephones,cell phones etc and only letters(telegrams).
In our childhood child are kept in craddle as we want to keep safe our kid as any animal can harm them like snakes etc as child has no buddhi to discriminate between good and bad.
Sri Sundara chaitanya swami daily sleeps at night 12.00 AM and wakes up again at 4.00 AM.
A mantra to be repeated:
(Anuvaga 10 of Sikshavalli)
The mover of the tree I am. My fame is like the mountain's peak. The high one making (one) pure. I am the very immortal one as He is in the Sun. I am the lustrous wealth. I am of high Wisdom, immortal, undecaying. - Thus runs Sage Trisanku's teaching of Wisdom.
The tree of Samsara being cut as under, the fame becomes like unto a mountain's peak; it rises, as the mountain's peak is high. The fame concerning his liberation rises very high and spreads in the region of Devas; so that even Devas cannot thwart his wishes; not even Devas have power to prevent his becoming Brahman.
According to Sage Trisanku, the recitation of this mantra constitutes the austerity of vedic recitation known as Brahma Yajna, which one should practice after learning the Veda from a teacher.
The Exhortation:
(Anuvaga 11 of Sikshavalli)
Having taught the Veda, the teacher then exhorts the pupil; speak the truth (satyam vada); follow dharma (dharmam chara); from study swerve thou not. Having offered dear wealth to the teacher cut thou not the progeny's line. From the true it will not do to swerve, nor from Dharma nor from welfare. Neither will it do to swerve from well being, nor from study and teaching, nor from duties to Devas and Pitris. (11.1)
Treat your mother as a God. (maatru devo bhava)
Treat your father as a God. (pithru devo bhava)
Treat your teacher as a God. (acharya devo bhava)
Treat the guests also as God. (adhiti devo bhava)
What works are free from fault, they should be resorted to, not others. What are good works of ours, they should be done, not others. (11.2)
Whatever Brahmanas are better than ourselves, in their sitting it will not do for you to breathe. With reverence should gifts be made, never with irreverence should a gift be made, with liberality should gifts be made, with modesty should gifts be made, with fear should a gift be given, in friendliness should a gift be given. (11.3)
If to you a doubt as to a deed or a doubt as to conduct, should occur as the Brahmanas there who are thoughtful, zealous, well versed, not hard (at heart), desirous of Dharma - would act in such matters, so there shall you act. Now as to the accused: - " as the Brahmanas there who are thoughtful, zealous, well versed, not hard (at heart), desirous of Dharma - would act in such matters" - This is the direction; this is the advise; this the secret of Vedas; this the command; thus shall devotion be and thus verily all this shall you observe. (11.4)
Note: Sri Sundara chaitanya Swami says Gruhastas should do annual cermony compulsory.For sanyasis it is not compulsory as they have removed complete attachment to the body.
Treat your mother as a God. (maatru devo bhava) means treat mother as a god but mother is not god at all.
We should respect in order wise like first mother should be respected then father and next comes guru.
Guru is very much important as it is only he who removes ignorance in us.
Thanks Giving:
(Anuvaga 12 of Sikshavalli)
OM: May Mitra be propitious to us and Varuna propitious be; may Aryaman propitious be to us; propitious be Indra and Brihaspathi to us; to us propitious may Vishnu of vast extent be. Bow to Brahma, Bow to you Vayu ! You are indeed Brahman perceptible. You indeed have I declared Brahman perceptible. The right have I declared; and I have declared the truth. That has protected me and that has protected the teacher; yes that has protected me; that has protected the teacher.
Note: Sri Sundara Chaitanya Swami says In Adarvana Vedam it is written that we should earn with 100 hands to do charity with 1000 hands.

While it is no surprise that Coach K is the highest-paid it may be surprising just how much more he makes than the other top-paid coaches. Only seven other college basketball coaches make more than $3 million per year.
Using data from USAToday.com, Forbes.com, and other sources we have collected the annual salary and outside income generated by most of the Division I college basketball coaches (private schools are not obligated to release salary information for employees).

For the past six months the people behind "KPFAWorker/SaveKPFA" have run a relentless, dishonest and destructive PR campaign – both on and off the air – against KPFA and Pacifica over the layoff last November of two KPFA staff members: Brian Edwards-Tiekert and Aimee Allison, the former co-hosts of KPFA's Morning Show.
December 14, 2010
The U.N. has threatened to pull out of Haiti. Oh, what a blessed seasonal gift that would be. Bon voyage, U.N.! Goodbye. We'll help you pack. The Haitian people on the streets demonstrating are asking for YOU, for the U.N. to go. Take Clinton, the Interim Haiti Reconstruction Commission (IHRC) and the NGOs with you, please.
November 11, 2010
Two years ago, Brian Edwards-Tiekert reported to the Pacifica National Board that staff layoffs were imperative at WBAI in NYC and KPFK in LA even though those laid off would push back. Today at KPFA, Brian is the one being laid off and pushing back.
June 17, 2010
The job of the media is to hold the powerful accountable. To avoid hypocrisy, the media itself must be held accountable as well. In the past few days, KPFA has broadcast at least twice a brief announcement recorded by the interim general manager scolding Bay View associate editor JR Valrey for a passing mention in one of his Block Reports of KPFA's former interim program manager, Sasha Lilley. The Bay View respectfully questions its timing and refutes its contentions.

PESD releases new working paper on "finesse" and "game-changer" strategies for advancing carbon capture and storagein the news
In a new PESD working paper, Robert A. James of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP classifies frontier project development strategies into "finesses" and "game-changers." James then considers the implications of this framework for the case of carbon capture and storage (CCS), where numerous legal, business and technological barriers seem to stand in the way of wide technology deployment.

I've seen lots of Disney movies If she offers you an apple, say no !
Frankly, at this point we'd consider the whole night a disappointment if Lady Gaga didn't wear something totally bizarre to the Grammys, and Mother Monster sure didn't disappoint at this year. Looking like a cross between a bunch of Disney villains that spring to mind (Ursula, Malificent, Cruella DeVille — any we missed?), Gaga appeared all set to "Marry The Night" in a black veil and not much else, complete with golden scepter.

The 2007 Baltic is a fine beer and last night, the locals were glad to see it back on tap. Milk Stout and a dark Dunkle Weizen carried the low end of the scale this real winter's eve as well as the tricky Warmer. I thought the Porter might have had a little less alcohol than previously but John F said it was around 7%. There was a sort of hoppiness about it last night as well, I wound up mixing it with some Hog (premise brewed, Gott sie dank, back to it's former self) which was worth a try but not a repeat. The four Grain is usually good for this purpose . The Baltic is quite a mouthful but very drinkable and 3 pints ought to be about right.

On cask at Tap and Table. I took a small pour and if I weren't driving, would likely have had more. First off, it's hard to believe this beer is nearly 7%. It's as smooth and light as a brown porter. The flavor is a rich dry chocolate flavor, just like I'm letting great semi-sweet chocolate melt on my tongue. The beer finishes with a hint of char, like you'd get on a grilled steak. It's missing the fruitier notes I'm used to with this style, but overall this beer is dangerously good.

I had this beer tonight on-tap at Lancaster Brewing Company. The beer was served cold and the aroma did develop more as it warmed. Very nice drinkable beer.
Appearance: Dark brown with a creamy off white head that had decent retention.
Smell: Originally I had a hard time locating the aroma but as it warmed out came the sweet malt aroma and hints of coffee.
Taste: This is an interesting mixed flavor. It has some sweet caramel malt flavors but just as soon it is followed by a coffee bitter then gentle molasses sweet and unsweetened toasted chocolate with hop that is mildly bitter. The flavors seem to be swirling around in the beer.
Mouthfeel: Light mouthfeel that is a bit thin for a porter but is smooth and refreshing.
Drinkability: This beer goes down very easily. Remarkably drinkable, approachable easy going beer.
Hope this is helpful.

Served on tap into a giant mug.
A- pours a nice shade of brown with a one finger, slightly tan head. The beer doesn't look murky, but it's not crystal clear either...not *too* dark where you'd confuse it for a stout either. The lacing is great, all the way around the mug
S- getting some chocolate notes, with, and I might be crazy, a tad bit of MINT in the aroma. Maybe it was just my nose that day. Unremarkable, but fine smelling
T- taste is *slightly* smoky, but mostly getting notes of bitter coffee with very slight hints of chocolate. Really good
M- the body is decently think, but not overwhelmingly so
D- a really good Baltic Porter. It's not boozy and overwhelmingly slapping you in the face with malts like the winter warmer.

This is the 2006 batch, courtesy of new brewer Bill Moore. I am finding that he is really doing some wonderful things where his predecessor came up short. This is one of them.
It arrived with a fairly foamy deep-tan head. The color was a deep garnet and it had a sweet, malty nose to it. The mouthfeel was thick and creamy and the taste was sugary and caramel-like on the tongue. The finish had a strong chocolate taste to it. It was very smooth throughout. I liked it, but one or two would be plenty for a hophead like me.

On Tap at Canal Street; barkeep said it was pulled from an aged 5 gal keg.
Since I do not know much about the Baltic Porter Style its hard to judge this beer. The color is brown like a brown ale or Coke. Not the typical dark associated with a porter. The aroma would include caramel, peanuts, and chocolate or sweet coffee. The flavor and body mix well creating a unique taste. The beer finishes sweet, rich and warming. It would be good on a cool autumn night.

The beer pours a translucent dark brown color with a thin tan head that fades to lacing. The aroma is good. It boasts of dark and roasted malts. It has a creamy aroma that is very pleasant. The taste is decent. It has a smooth, yet grainy dark malt flavor with a dry finish. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a medium bodied beer with good carbonation. This is a fine porter. Like a lot I've had lately , it is really light on the mouthfeel and appearance. I guess it doesn't matter, but I prefer a full bodied porter.

Served as a beep brown beer with moderate slightly off-white puffy head. Smell is toasted amly , coffee, and some bitter chocolate, but suprisingly mild. Taste also shows some coffee and chocolate tones, with a slight dark fruit also present. The bitterness begins to show itself as the beer warms. Finish is moderately bitter, but not overly so, and the chocolate and coffee flavors blend well. A very good, easy drinking beer that I thoroughly enjoyed.

My pint arrived at the table with a creamy dark beige, nearly tan head. The beer was nearly opaque, deep brown with a reddish hue. There was lots of lacing from start to finish. The aroma was decent, a nice mild roast with dry cocoa and a hint of sour cherry. The flavour was malty and fruity with a mild bitterness that just balanced things out. Notes of plums, cocoa and roasted grains filled it out and the finish had a slight cherry tartness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation and solid malty texture. This was a pleasant, easy drinking beer, not at all overbearing while providing some interesting character. Recommended!

I must preface my review by stating that LBC's Baltic Porter has long been a beer that I look forward to the release of, and is one of the beers responsible for me widening my horizon from lagers and ales. It's been my favorite LBC brew the last two years, and this year it looks to three-peat.
Got a growler of the '08 batch from the brewery to enjoy on a blustery, cold winter day. A perfect Baltic day.
Pours out a rich, deep brown with reddish hue, and a decent off-white head that slowly dissipates.
Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and caramel, with a very faint scent of hops buried down in there.
The taste is malty, with the coffee being the most prevalent taste, followed by bitter chocolate and roasted grain. It all balances out very well, though, to a great overall taste.
A good, solid body on the border of medium and heavy, almost the perfect amount of carbonation, a slightly bitter, dry aftertaste.
Good drinkability, especially in the cooler weather. Mid-range ABV, a taste that does not beat you over the head with anything particular. You can have 4 to 5 pints of this, easy, and not get sick of it or overwhelmed by the alcohol.
A great balance of all the elements is what makes this beer such a good brew. No one area overpowers another, allowing you to appreciate them all.

On tap at Zenos in State College.
A- Dark chestnut with a small, milky, light tan head with good retention and good lacing.
S- Mild roasted malt mostly. Nutty. Nice but a little weak.
T- Chocolate malt up front, molasses, wood and very light berry. Nutty, alcohol finish.
M- Medium-light body, creamy texture, soft carbonation
D- Decent. Nothing that wowed me but it was satisfying and easy-drinking. Id have it again.

When searching for affordable auto insurance, it is necessary to list down quality car insurance quotes that you can compare before deciding which insurance policy to go for. Comparing car insurance quotes is a smart way of choosing insurances that are both affordable and yet provide all of the features that you'll need.
Here are some things that you must consider if you are planning to get a car insurance. First, it is necessary to check if you are working with a financially stable company before you start looking at the details of any car insurance policy. Second, it is necessary to be sure that you have all the required information you'll need to input like your personal information, details regarding your vehicle, and as well as information about your driving history in order to get car insurance quotes online. By doing so, you will be able to gather a lot of car insurance quotes very efficiently. Next, compare and list down at least six of the results then select again and consider which one has the best car insurance rates based on your criteria.
Most people think that price would be the last factor that is important to consider in choosing auto insurance policy. However, this should only be considered once the other important factors have been comprehensively met.

LAWTON Okla_ Members of the
local junior ROTC are doing their part to spread Christmas cheer.
Students from
all three high schools in Lawton
handed out around 250 toys to about 150 young children today. The event has
been going on for nearly 20 years. This year, it was Eisenhower's turn to host
the event.
Eisenhower High
School JROTC Cadet James Taylor said he likes to see the gleams of joy on the
children's faces. "It's not always about an XBOX or a Playstation 3, but it's
about a little dinosaur or a little car. It's about a kid saying, 'I got a
racecar, I got a toy car.' It's good to see the smile on the kids' faces."
Taylor said the
tradition is important to motivate his cadets to become better citizens. All of
the toys were chosen and donated by the cadets.

By Cade Fowler - bio | email MOULTRIE, GA (WALB) – Business went on as usual Monday afternoon at Universal Forest Products, but just yards away on the property GBI agents and sheriff's investigators worked a crime scene.
Just before 3 o'clock, frantic workers called 9-1-1 after an employee shot and killed a co-worker before turning the gun on himself. It was in warehouse office at the wood manufacturing business where deputies found a Hispanic man and woman dead from apparent gunshot wounds.
"When deputies arrived, we found two Hispanics DOA when we arrived on the scene," said Capt. Hal Suber, Colquitt County Sheriff's Office.
GBI agents interviewed witnesses, many of them who were in or around the area when the gunshots rang out.
"Several people witnessed different parts of it. I'm not absolutely sure if anyone witnessed the actual shooting," said Suber.
A Ford Expedition belonging to the suspected shooter was towed away for processing.
Investigators aren't sure what the relationship was between the two, or if there was a violent past, but they are looking into the connection.
Suber said, "As we complete our investigation we'll talk to folks to see if there was a history between these we don't know if there was at this time or not."
The Colquitt County coroner says he is in the process of speaking with family members to get a positive ID on the man and woman.
This shooting happened one week after an Hispanic teenager was shot and killed in his yard in Moultrie.
The suspected gunman in that murder was arrested over the weekend.

Search and rescue crews were unable to recover the body of a Tampa man from a South Carolina river Friday, after he apparently drowned during a rafting trip two days earlier.
Thomas Patrick Hill, 51 of Tampa, was on a corporate retreat on the Chattooga River, when he fell off a white-water raft Wednesday afternoon and never resurfaced.
"The Sherwin-Williams family is deeply saddened and mourns the loss of Tom Hill," said a spokesman for the paint company. "Tom, a 27 year veteran from our Tampa, FL district, was a valued member of the Sherwin-Williams team and contributed significantly to the company's success. Tom will be greatly missed."
Hill leaves behind a wife named Linda and four children.
The company spokesperson says Sherwin-Williams is working closely with investigators to determine the details surrounding the accident. Investigators say Hill was on a guided tour with Southeastern Expeditions.
"The guide on this tour had 5 years experience, a veteran guide, the trip leader had 20 years experience and the safety boater had 20 years experience," said Larry Mashburn of Southeastern Expeditions.
WFLA's sister station WSPA-TV reports that all rafters were wearing life jackets and helmets.
The current is strong around the Class 5 rapids and water levels are high. Crews are having a tough time recovering Hill's body and had to stop for the night. Operations will start again Saturday morning.
"The river current appears to have moved Mr. Hill's body away from its original location," said Incident Commander Scott Loftis. "Tomorrow we'll be doing camera work to try to locate him."
Crews will continue to work from the river banks and a tethered raft. River flows are expected to be too high tomorrow for dive operations.
Information from WSPA-TV helped comprise this report.

"He's Out of Work -- and I'm Out of Patience"
Her Turn, continued
"Howard's family owned a jewelry business in Hartford, Connecticut, and after our second anniversary, he decided to join it. The two stores were successful; moreover, Howard's father, Max, was approaching retirement age, so we figured Howard would soon take over. The downside was that we had to move to Hartford. I'd never felt accepted by my in-laws, but the real trouble started when we had to spend more time together. I'd try to join their conversations, but if they didn't agree with something I said, they'd turn verbally abusive. I kept waiting for Howard to intervene, but he didn't, preferring to fight with me at home later rather than defend me to his parents and sister.
"The situation didn't improve even after we had kids. As grandparents, my in-laws play favorites. Howard's mother, Shirley, buys holiday clothes for her daughter's children but not for ours. Our kids see this because their cousins flaunt their new clothes at family dinners. But when I asked Howard to speak to his mother about it, he called me 'petty.'
"The worst episode occurred a year ago. Shirley and Max said they planned to give our kids their Hanukkah presents at Yom Kippur in October because they would be out of town in December. Howard and I asked them to mail the gifts instead -- we didn't want Ellen and Steven to open gifts two months early. After dinner Max started distributing the presents, so I whispered, 'Say something,' to Howard. He remained silent, so I seized control. 'We're not doing this,' I declared. 'Get your coats, kids. We're leaving.' Shirley burst into tears, and my sister-in-law spewed obscenities at me. Still, Howard said nothing. We drove home in silence and I didn't speak to him for a week. I told him I'd never go to his family's homes again.
"His job loss is the last straw. Seven years ago Max had yet to give him a raise and showed no inclination to retire, so I endorsed Howard's decision to leave his dad's business and open a jewelry store in the suburbs. I was involved from the start, handling the bookkeeping, helping out behind the counter, and offering suggestions on hiring and marketing. The first store did well, so four years later he opened another. The next year he added a third, even though I thought he was expanding too quickly. Then a chain store moved into the area, and Howard couldn't compete. His poor hiring decisions became a time-consuming problem. Despite declining sales, Howard thought customers would return for the personal service his staff provided, but over a two-year period, he kept losing money, customers, and employees -- until he finally closed the last store.
"Since then he has been bitter and despondent. He isn't interested in job hunting, and he just zones out if I offer to help with networking or writing cover letters. The more passive he is, the more aggressive I become, screaming and slamming doors. I hate myself for acting this way, but I can't seem to help it. Last week, after another blowup over his job search, I fell apart. 'I'm tired of being emotionally abandoned,' I sobbed. 'Come to counseling with me, or it's over.'"

Crazy M and her family of clowns win international award
Updated 4:23pm Monday 18th March 2013 in News By Melanie Adams, Crime Reporter
WHEN it comes to slapstick, Southampton's Crazy M has reached the pinnacle of the big top – scooping a prestigious international clowning award.
Despite juggling her performances with motherhood, Crazy M and her family of clowns has won the Clowning International Award for Best Parade Prop Gag.
During the annual clowning convention, the family from Bitterne showcased their slapstick skills and proved that they were the "mane" event, with their topical routine based on the horsemeat scandal.
Armed with red noses and wacky hats, the funny fivesome took to the streets of Bognor Regis in West Sussex for the parade in their clown car, offering the crowds their "three-horse" meal.
As Crazy M entertained families with her horsey gags along the route, her trainee clowns, daughter Demi, aged seven, four-month-old son Alfie and neighbours Joe and Annie Mayo, held out dishes for the starter, dessert and "mane" meals, which consisted of a cuddly horse.
It certainly hit all the right funny bones, with judge Clown Bluey bestowing the special honour on the group after seeing the great reaction they got from the crowds.
Having not won an award for ten years, their success was a big shock, especially as it was Crazy M's first outing since taking maternity leave to have her second child.
Crazy M, who has regularly featured in the Daily Echo during her 18 years of clowning around, said: "I had to think of something humorous and topical without offending anyone and our jokes about the horsemeat scandal certainly seemed to entertain the crowds.
"I was shocked to win the award because it is quite an achievement in clowning circles. It has taken me a while to come back down to reality.
"It was just lovely to go away with my little clown family and do what I love. Clowning is in my heart, as is being a mother, so it was great to combine the two.
"Having been on maternity leave I was worried I might have lost Crazy M after having a baby but this just showed me that I still have the energy and enthusiasm for it. I love my job and Crazy M will be back."

The raid happened at Bust-A-Left Apparel on East Market Street. The store owner has been charged with selling counterfeit items including sneakers, purses and jerseys.
Steve Heffner, the owner of B&E Electric Train Junction, which is located directly next door to Bust-A-Left, said he was relieved to see the agents at the business.
"I didn't really see it coming because it's been going on so long that we just thought it would continue going under the...radar," he said.
Heffner and other onlookers watched as agents carried the boxes out of the business.
"Legitimate businessmen who pay their taxes and had employees..they can't compete with this kind of stuff," added Heffner.
The merchandise was placed into a truck which will be taken to a holding area. That's where agents will sort through the goods and compile evidence, investigators said.
Police said that this is no isolated seizure, but another link in an tangled chain of midstate counterfeit crime.
Investigators said this counterfeit crime is rooted overseas in Asia, where the sneakers and apparel are made and imported illegally.

Power Mac G5 is Apple's best work yet
Cupertino's 64-bit desktop system and Panther OS mix beauty and exceptional performance
I don't want to look ahead too far, but the G5 architecture is going to make one hell of a server. That's not conjecture. I ran all of my performance tests, including Final Cut Pro, on the Server edition of the Panther OS without bothering to shut down Panther's services. I don't care if cooling requirements will prevent Apple from squeezing a pair of G5s into a 1U rack chassis. I'll generously set aside two rack spaces if I have to. My lab's Xeon servers already occupy that.
I'm also jazzed about the possibilities of G5-equipped notebooks. It's no accident that Apple paid such attention to Panther's text and graphics rendering, with improvements in speed and quality most apparent in Panther's handling of PDF and HTML. These set up innumerable possibilities for the rich, real-time presentation of complex and changing data.
Data analysis and translation, digital media, security, high-bandwidth data gathering, complex user interfaces, software development, and network monitoring are types of common applications that the Power Mac G5 handled sublimely in my tests. That describes the kind of work I do every day, a breadth of activity that colors my opinion of this system.
More than anything else, the Power Mac G5 shatters the long-standing limits of expectation imposed by Intel and Microsoft. Maybe you're not a customer for this machine, but very shortly you will see shades of the Power Mac G5 in every dual-processor desktop you buy. The risk that Apple takes here is the same one it took with the PowerBook G4, OS X, Xserve, and Xserve RAID. Maybe customers aren't as dull, as timid, or as easily led as other vendors believe.
In this article, a dual-processor 3.06GHz Xeon system's I/O throughput -- in the comparison with the Power Mac G5's -- should have been noted as 1.3GB per second. It has been corrected in this article.

In recent months several Chinese cars have reached the 5-Star safety requirement from the Chinese crash testing authority, CNCAP. Now C-NCAP are planning to raise requirements to get a 5-Star safety standard in their 2012 standards that they are assembling this week.
The current crash test speed used in CNCAP is set at 56kph, but that is going to be raised to 64kph under 2012 guidelines. Also due to China's congested traffic CNCAP will introduce rear end crash testing, pedestrian crash testing and will also add in female crash test dummies to gauge the level of safety in a car crash to a females head and breast area.
C-NCAP will also be testing for passive and active safety measures and will give extra points for ESP and ABS systems
In the short term it is expected that the number of Chinese built 5-Star cars will fall, but as Chinese manufacturers gain speed they will once again catch up and begin to receive 5-Star rewards.
Until now only the American crash testing authority tested for rear end safety, but with China adding the test in and also the effects on female passengers in a crash, it appears that C-NCAP is going to be among the strictest testing bodies in the world in the next few months.

Muscle Car
A muscle car is a high-performance automobile. The term principally refers to American, Australian and South African models and generally describes a 2-door rear wheel drive mid-size car with a large, powerful V8 engine and special trim, intended for maximum torque on the street or in drag racing competition. It is distinguished from sports cars, which were customarily and coincidentally considered smaller, two-seat cars, or GTs, two-seat or 2+2 cars intended for high-speed touring and possibly road racing. High-performance full-size or compact cars are arguably excluded from this category, as are the breed of compact sports coupes inspired by the Ford Mustang. Other factors used in defining classic muscle cars are their age and country of origin. A classic muscle car is usually made in the US or Australia between 1964 and 1975. Notably, the term "muscle car" did not enter common usage until after production of the cars had essentially ended. During their heyday, print media usually referred to this class of vehicle as "supercars".
An alternate definition is based on power-to-weight ratio, defining a muscle car as an automobile with (for example) fewer than 12 lb (5.4 kg) per rated 1 horsepower (0.7 kW). Such definitions are inexact, thanks to a wide variation in curb weight depending on options and to the questionable of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) gross hp ratings in use before 1972, which were often deliberately overstated or underrated for various reasons.
Focus on performance among the major American automakers after World War II was rekindled by the Chrysler 300 letter series in 1955. They can be considered the muscle car's ancestors, though much more luxurious, expensive, exclusive, and larger in size. Other makes soon offered high-performance engines in their "standard"-sized models.
The idea of installing a powerful engine in a post WWII mid-size car was introduced in 1957. The American Motors (AMC) Rebel showcased AMC's new 327 cu in (5.4 L) V8 producing 255 horsepower (190.2 kW) with a 4-barrel carburetor (fuel injection was to be optional), thus making it the first American budget-priced and intermediate-sized, factory hot-rod hardtop sedan. The Rambler Rebel came with a manual or automatic transmission, and dual exhaust. The Rebel was promoted as the fastest four-door car in America from 0–60 mph (0–96.6 km/h) and ran the quarter mile in 17.0 seconds. It was one of the quickest production automobiles at that time.
The popularity of the muscle car grew in the early 1960s. Among these was the 1962 Dodge Dart 413 cu in (6.8 L) Max Wedge, with mid-13-second 1/4-mile performance at over 100 mph. Both Mopar (Dodge, Plymouth, and Chrysler) and Ford battled in the early 1960s for drag racing supremacy; these were the true muscle cars that ruled the road and the strip. For 1964 and 1965, Ford had its 427 cu in (7 L) Thunderbolts and Mopar unveiled the mighty 426 cu in (7 L) Hemi engine. The Pontiac GTO was an option package that included Pontiac's 389 cu in (6.4 L) V8 engine, floor-shifted transmission with Hurst shift linkage, and special trim. In 1966, the Pontiac GTO was no longer an option, and became its own model. The project, spearheaded by Pontiac division president John De Lorean, was technically a violation of General Motors' policy limiting its smaller cars to 330 cu in (5.4 L) displacement, but it proved far more popular than expected, and inspired a host of imitations, both at GM and its competitors. That said, the influential GTO itself was a response to the Dodge Polara 500 and the Plymouth Sport Fury. These had been shrunk to intermediates in 1962, which was an infamous blunder in terms of general marketing strategy at a time when bigger was considered better. As the muscle car in the U.S. is generally considered an intermediate two door with a large engine, however, the blunder arguably resulted in the 1962 Dodge Dart Max Wedge beating the GTO to the title of "first true muscle car." Both were very influential in the market (and very capable) at the time.
This marked a general trend towards factory performance, which reflected the importance of the youth market. A key appeal of the muscle cars was that they offered the burgeoning American car culture an array of relatively affordable vehicles with strong street performance that could also be used for racing. The affordability aspect was quickly compromised by increases in size, optional equipment, and plushness, forcing the addition of more and more powerful engines just to keep pace with performance. A backlash against this cost and weight growth led in 1967 and 1968 to a secondary trend of "budget muscle" in the form of the Plymouth Road Runner, Dodge Super Bee, and other stripped, lower-cost variants. With this "budget-friendly" trend, cars like the 1970 Road Runner by Plymouth had less chrome on the body, along with fewer options. In fact, those that intended their Road Runner for the drag strip sometimes ordered the Runner with the small hub-cap-style wheel covers and even deleted the radio.
Although the sales of true muscle cars were relatively modest by total Detroit production standards, they had considerable value in publicity and bragging rights. They also served to bring young customers (or their parents) into showrooms who would then buy the standard editions of these mid-size cars. Automakers saw these as halo models and some, such as the AMC Rebel Machine, the COPO (Central Office Production Order) Chevrolet Chevelle, and the Super Cobra Jet Ford Torino were factory upgraded to be turn-key drag racers. The 1970 Machine even came with standard flamboyant and patriotic red, white, and blue reflective body graphics and paint for maximum street and racetrack visibility.
The fierce competition led to an escalation in power that peaked in 1970, with some models offering as much as 450 horsepower (336 kW) (with this and others likely producing as much or more actual power, whatever their rating).
Another related type of car is the car-based pickup (known colloquially in Australia as a "ute"(short for "utility") Holden makes such a vehicle under the model name "Ute""). Examples of these are the Ford Ranchero, GMC Sprint, GMC Caballero, and one of the most famous examples, the Chevrolet El Camino.
Politics of the muscle car
The muscle cars' performance soon became a liability during this period. The automotive safety lobby, which had been spearheaded by Ralph Nader, decried the irresponsibility of offering such powerful cars for public sale, particularly targeted to young buyers. The high power of the muscle cars also underlined the marginal handling and braking capacity of many contemporary cars, as well as the severe limitations of their tires. In response, the automobile insurance industry began levying punitive surcharges on all high-powered models, soon pushing many muscle cars out of the price range of their intended buyers. Simultaneously, efforts to combat air pollution led to a shift in Detroit's attention from power to emissions control, a problem that grew more complicated in 1973 when the OPEC oil embargo led to price controls and gasoline rationing.
With all these forces against it, the market for muscle cars rapidly evaporated. Power began to drop in 1971 as engine compression ratios were reduced, high-performance engines like Chrysler's 426 Hemi were discontinued, and all but a handful of performance models were discontinued or transformed into soft personal luxury cars. One of the last hold-outs, which Car and Driver dubbed "The Last of the Fast Ones", was Pontiac's Trans Am SD455 model of 1973–1974, which had performance to rival most any other muscle car of the era. The Trans Am remained in production through 2002, but after 1974 its performance, like those of its predecessors and rivals, entered the doldrums.
While performance cars began to make a return in the 1980s, spiraling costs and complexity seem to have made the low-cost traditional muscle car a thing of the past. Surviving models are now prized collectibles, some carrying prices to rival exotic European sports cars.
Outside the US
Australia developed its own muscle car tradition around the same period, with the big three manufacturers Ford Australia, Holden or Holden Dealer Team (by then part of General Motors) and Chrysler Australia. The cars were specifically developed to run in the Bathurst 500—then known as the Armstrong 500 (miles) race and later the Hardie Ferodo 500. These cars were supercars in every sense of the word and were brimming with powerful engines and other racing options. The demise of these cars were brought about by the racing rules of the time being that 200 examples had to be sold to the general public before the car could qualify. In 1972 this rule came to a head and the Government stepped in to ban supercars from the streets.
Ford produced what is considered to be the first Australian muscle car in 1967, being the 287 cu in (4.7 L) Windsor–powered XR Falcon. Ford continued to release faster and faster models culminating in what is considered to be Australia's most desirable musclecar—the Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III of 1971, which was powered by a 351 cu in (5.8 L) Cleveland. Along with its GT and GTHO models, Ford, staring with the XW model in 1969, introduced a 'sporty' GS model, available across the Falcon range. The basic GS only came with 250 cu in (4.1 L) six, but the 302 cu in (4.9 L) and 351ci Windsor (replaced by the Cleveland engines for the XY), were optional. Ford's larger, more luxurious Fairlane was also available with these engines, and could also be optioned with the 300 bhp (224 kW) 351 Cleveland engine.
Holden produced the famous Holden Monaro with 307 cu in (5 L), 327 cu in (5.4 L), and 350 cu in (5.7 L) Chevrolet smallblocks or 253 cu in (4.1 L) and 308 cu in (5 L) Holden V8s, followed by the release of four high-performance Toranas, the GTR-XU1 (1970–1973), SL/R 5000 (1974–1977), L34 (1974) and the A9X (1977). The XU-1 was originally fitted with a 186 cu in (3 L) triple carburetored 6-cylinder engine, later increased to 202 cu in (3.3 L), as opposed to the 308 cu in (5 L) single quad-barrel carburetored V8 in the SL/R 5000, L34, and A9X.
Chrysler produced the R/T Valiant Charger from 1971 to 1973 when the R/Ts were discontinued; the dominant R/T models were the E38 and E49 with high performance 256 cu in (4.2 L) Hemi engines featuring triple Weber carburetors. Chrysler apparently considered a high-performance V8 program importing 350 340 cu in (5.6 L) V8 engines from the U.S.
This project never went ahead and the engines were subsequently fitted to the upmarket 770 model Charger. Initially this model was designated "SE" E55 340 (V8) and only available with automatic transmission, with a model change to the VJ in 1973 the engine became an option and the performance was watered down. All Chrysler performance Chargers were discontinued in 1974 with the exhausting of high performance 265ci hemi and 340 V8s.
The Australian muscle car era is generally considered to have ended with the release of the Australian Design Rule regarding emissions in ADR27a in 1976. An exception to this rule was the small number of Bathurst 1000 homologation specials that were built after 1976 which are considered to be musclecars. These cars were built by the Holden Dealer Team for track and road use and quickly gained an enthusiastic following. The program was under Peter Brock's direction and had approval from Holden. Several highly modified high-performance road-going Commodores were produced through the early and mid 1980s. These "homologation specials" were produced to meet the Group A racing regulations. Models included the VC Group C, the VH SS Group III with a 0-100 km/h of 6.7 seconds (quickest HDT according to Modern Motor Magazine - Jan 1983), the Blue VK SS Group A and the burgundy VL SS Group A. These vehicles are all individually numbered with only 4246 Brock HDT's made and are considered to be collectors' items due to their rarity. The HDT Commodores have a substantial place in Australian motoring enthusiast history, and thus they are highly collectible muscle cars. It is not uncommon to see these vehicles selling for over $60,000 for a clean genuine example or even between $80-150,000 for an extremely low km example. After the death of Peter Brock, Holden Dealer Team vehicles became more collectible than ever. According to the Australian 5/2007 Wheels Magazine showroom-condition cars are generating prices as high as $200,000 AU.
Currently in Australia Ford and Holden are producing performance vehicles—-for example Holden has its SS and SSV Commodores and Utilities, and their even more powerful HSV versions, which will soon be joined by an as-yet unnamed 7.0 litre Commodore.
Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) turns out similarly uprated special versions of the Ford Falcon Sedan, the major difference being Ford offer a 350+ hp turbocharged 4.0 litre I6 as well as their V8s. FPV are producing the GT 4-door Falcons—both Boss V8 and turbocharged sixes; the premier Fords are currently the BOSS V8 and Typhoon turbocharged inline 6.
Holden Special Vehicles currently produces high-performance versions of various rear-drive Holden Utes, Commodore sedans and, ceasing production in 2006, the Monaro coupes including one model with AWD, fitted with high performance (400hp+) V8 engines, and are perhaps one of the closest contemporary equivalents to the classic American muscle car (excluding the AWD of course)—-fast, exciting, but relatively crude automobiles (though with far more attention to handling, suspension, safety and exceptional brakes compared with the stock models).
In the United Kingdom, the muscle car itself never gained a significant market, but it certainly influenced British manufacturers, with models such as the Ford Capri and Vauxhall Firenza directly inspired by American designs. Later, both Ford and Vauxhall continued the tradition of producing high performance variants of its family cars, though often these had more subtle styling than the traditional muscle car, but with some notable exceptions. The more European influenced hot hatch has largely occupied this segment of the market since the early 1980s. Vauxhall imported the Holden Monaro from Australia in 2004, and this could possibly be considered a muscle car as it is identical to the Pontiac GTO (which is a rebadged Monaro).
In South Africa, Chevrolet shoehorned the Z28 302 Chevrolet smallblock into a Vauxhall Viva coupe bodyshell and called it the Firenza CanAm. Basil Green produced the 302 Windsor–powered Capri Perana. In addition Australian HT and HG GTS Monaros (1969-71) were exported in CKD form, and were given a new fascia and rebadged as a Chevrolet SS, which were sold until about 1973. Falcon GTs were also exported to South Africa and rebadged as Fairmont GTs. In South African the Australian XW Falcon GT was called the 1970 Fairmont GT and the XY Falcon GTs were called the 1971/72/73 Fairmont GT. The Falcons were re-badged as Fairmonts due to the bad reputation of the American Falcons at the time. The Fairmonts were almost the same as their Australian cousins apart from a few cosmetic differences.
Modern muscle cars
In the US, the full-size, 4-door Chevrolet Impala SS had a short but popular production run from 1994–1996 as a high-performance limited-edition version of the Caprice equipped with a Corvette-derived 5.7 L V8 LT1 engine and other specific performance features and body styling. The Impala SS nameplate was resurrected again in 2000 as a high-performance version of the standard Impala with larger and/or supercharged engines (whether the 21st century Impalas, which are front-wheel drive and have had variously V6s and V8s, can be considered muscle cars in the same vein as their earlier namesakes is debatable). GM discontinued its F-body pony-car models, the Chevrolet Camaro and Firebird after 2002, but brought back the GTO in 2004 as a rebadged Holden Monaro imported from Australia. The new GTO only lasted three years, making 2006 the last model year for the current GTO.
For 2003, Mercury revived its old Marauder nameplate, as a modified Mercury Grand Marquis. The "Terminator" SVT Cobra was produced by Ford for 2003-2004, and is generally regarded as a muscle car despite its pony car platform. In 2005, a "retro" version of the Ford Mustang went on sale—this new model resembled a 1967/68 model year Mustang.
In 2004 Chrysler introduced their LX platform, which serves as the base for a new line of rear-wheel drive, V8-powered cars (using the new Hemi engine), including a four-door version of the Dodge Charger. While purists would not consider a station wagon (the Dodge Magnum) or a four-door sedan a muscle car, the performance of the new models is the equal of many of the vintage muscle cars of legend. Dodge has also revived two "classic" model names with the Charger: Daytona and Super Bee. The first was featured in 2006 as a Dodge Charger Daytona R/T and the Super Bee joined in 2007 as the Dodge Charger Super Bee. In addition, Dodge has been developing a new performance vehicle under the Challenger badge, which borrows styling cues from its older namesake, the prototype for which made its debut at the 2006 North American International Auto Show. Chevrolet has recently unveiled their Camaro concept car as well, with plans to sell new Camaros beginning with the 2009 model year.
This recent revival in popularity of the muscle car has been reflected in their price. The rarest vintage 1965–1972 muscle cars can now cost as much as US$500,000 (for certain original models and options) and possibly more depending on availability, demand, and condition of the vehicle. Still, in recent years criticisms commonly brought against SUVs with large engine displacement have also been brought against modern muscle cars, as well. Ironically, the original muscle cars of the 1960s were subject to the same arguments that criticize the SUV today. The point in question is the fuel consumption of passenger cars during a time of rising petroleum prices (see the Transportation section of the Energy conservation article). The lighter weight of modern muscle cars compared to most SUVs (4200 lb (1905 kg) or less vs. 4,000-7,200 lbs), as well as innovations such as variable displacement in some models, may moderate some of these critiques and allow the muscle cars to gain a following as the market for SUVs continues to recede.

From a David O'Brien Tweet, here is tomorrow's opening day lineup:
Melky Cabrera, LF
Martin Prado, 2B
Chipper Jones, 3B
Brian McCann, C
Troy Glaus, 1B
Yunel Escobar, SS
Jason Heyward, RF
Nate McLouth, CF
Derek Lowe, P
It's not quite how we thought the opening day lineup would look like even two weeks ago. Cabrera replaced Diaz in left field and McLouth in the leadoff spot. That might be the part of the lineup I'm currently worried most about. Of all the players in the Braves opening day lineup listed above, Melky Cabrera has the lowest on-base percentage of any of them. If historical performance is any indicator of future performance, Cabrera will not do well leading off, and we can only hope he won't be there long.
Brian McCann gets the cleanup duty. That could simply be because he's hitting everything right now, so why not hit him there. McLouth is almost a forgotten person in the eighth spot, but that could be a great spot for him to produce without pressure.
It's gonna be a great day tomorrow, and hopefully a great game.

Congressman David McKinley
(R-WV) believes there's unnecessary drama and hype attached to the
sequestration. McKinley says the President deliberately targeted things that would
cause pain to the public: air traffic controllers, food safety and airport
security. He said that money could have come from other places.
"Those are at the
direction of the president and his agencies. Because there's nothing mandated,
nothing in any of the legislation that's been adopted that says that's how you're
supposed to make the cuts," he said. "The president could just as easily reduce
the spending that is planned in other areas."
McKinley said it's a two
and a half percent cut, and it won't put anyone in danger.
"I don't think anyone's
lives are going to be in jeopardy," McKinley said. "We just need some
flexibility to deal with it because in the big scheme, we have to start
reducing spending in America."
The public is still trying to make sense of sequestration, an unfamiliar term standing for unprecedented cuts.
"So I think the Republicans are doing a good thing by not caving in right now," said Gary Gillman of Litiz, Pennsylvania. "Because when you look at the percentage, the percentage they want to cut out of the total budget is minuscule. And it's not really cutting the budget, it's reducing the increases."
"I think we may be in trouble and it's not something I'm looking forward to," said Joy Trubiano of Wheeling. "I'm glad actually that the Republicans actually did stand their ground."
McKinley believes the nation can't continue to spend beyond its means.
It's generational theft. We're taking away from our children and our grandchildren. And that really is not right," McKinley said. "These kids wouldn't be saddled with our obligations. If we couldn't come up with the ability to deal with it, why are we passing that on to them?"

text: looks like Raji just lost a bunch of money! I wonder how far he will drop in this years draft? Too bad Reggie Williams is gone, could have hooked him up. I know Gene Smith just marked him off the board if he still had ideas of drafting Raji in the first round. No need to take a chance on his character, a fact shared here on BCC for a while. I wonder who will end up taking the chance and with what pick?


text: i still think henne is the future of this franchise. he came in yesterday and had a solid game. i still think the dolphins need a playmaking tight end. i know fasano had one good game the other day but he is no elite tight end. we also need a young talented running back. its time to let ronnie brown go. i truly think with another playmaker or two on offense and a new offensive coordinator (chad pennington maybe) chad henne can be a top notch qb. i know he has struggled at times but he has the tools to be great. i truly believe the play calling has been his biggest enemy this yr. i hope thigpen gets us a win thursday but he is no franchise qb.

Albany - The odds are long but Albany's Demetric Bennett still holding out hope his name will be called in the second round of the Thursday's NBA draft.
The former Monroe star coming off a terrific senior season at South Alabama where he led the Jaguars in scoring and to their second NCAA tournament appearance in the last three seasons.
Unfortunately, the NBA draft experts are not projecting Bennett to be selected.
Demetric says one problem for him is teams needing a long range shooter don't have many or any picks tonight.
One of those teams is the Atlanta Hawks who have already said they want Demetric to play for their summer league team next month.
Demetric is excited about that opportunity but knows there is still a chance his draft fortunes could change in the final hours before the draft starts.
Demetric Bennett said "A lot of things get changed around late in the draft. A lot of phone calls have been made. It is a long process. Just going to sit home tonight and watch and hope things come out for the best."
If Bennett signs with the Hawks summer league team, he will play for them in July in Salt Lake City, Utah.
