Charles Krauthammer: The grand bargain Obama should strike
If he wants. I remain skeptical that he does. But national solvency is important enough to test this proposition at least once more. The obstacle is Obama's current position that entitlement cuts must be "balanced" with new revenue from closing loopholes.
Republicans are adamantly opposed. No more revenues, Mr. President. You got your tax hike on Jan. 1.
Is there a solution? Yes: tax reform with a twist.
The problem begins with definitions. By tax reform, Obama means eliminating deductions, exclusions, credits of various kinds with all the money going to the Treasury.
That's radically new. The historic 1986 Reagan-O'Neill tax reform closed loopholes with no extra money going to the Treasury. The new revenue went directly back to the citizenry in the form of lower tax rates.
This is called revenue neutrality. The idea is that tax reform is a way not to fatten the Treasury, but to clean the tax code. It means eliminating special-interest favors and behavior-altering deductions that create waste and inefficiency by inducing tax-preferred rather than market-oriented economic activity. And it introduces fairness by removing breaks and payoffs for which only the rich can afford to lobby.
As a final bonus, tax reform's lower rates spur economic growth. A unique win-win-win: efficiency, fairness, growth.
Obama's own Simpson-Bowles deficit-reduction commission offered a variant. First, it identified an astonishing $1.1 trillion per year of these "tax expenditures." That's more than $11 trillion in a decade. In one scenario, it knocked them all out and lowered marginal tax rates to just three brackets of 8 percent, 14 percent and 23 percent.
But here's the twist. Using the full $1.1 trillion annually of newly redeemed "loophole" revenue, Simpson-Bowles could have dropped the rates a bit below 23 percent. But instead it left some of that money in the Treasury, an average of almost $100 billion a year, or about $1 trillion over a decade. It was a reasonable compromise, so reasonable that even the Senate's most fierce spending hawk, commission member Tom Coburn, signed on.
Now, Simpson-Bowles is not on the table, but it could be a model. Obama's "tax reform" would send 100 percent of the revenue to the Treasury. Reagan-O'Neill sent zero percent. Simpson-Bowles fell somewhere in between. So should any grand compromise.
Before deciding exactly where to locate that compromise, however, we have to decide which deductions to cut, yielding how much revenue. The bad news is that, given all the lobbying and haggling this would occasion, it could take years to work out. The good news is the formula proposed by Harvard economist Martin Feldstein. Before even picking and choosing which deductions should remain permissible, it simply allows no one to reduce his tax bill by more than 2 percent by using any or all of the deductions and loopholes in the current tax code (except charitable contributions).
There should, of course, be separate negotiations over which of the hundreds, thousands, of loopholes/deductions should be tossed out as corrupt or counterproductive rent-seeking. But the 2 percent ceiling means that we don't have to wait until full tax reform - because the Feldstein formula significantly and immediately reduces the impact of all the loopholes.
Feldstein calculates that his tax reform would yield $2.1 trillion in new revenue over a decade. Now we can cut the pie. Obama wants the government to keep it all. The GOP wants to give it all back to reduce tax rates. Let's be Solomonic. Divide the revenue in half - 50 percent to the Treasury for reducing debt, 50 percent to the citizenry for reducing rates.
That's roughly $1 trillion each. Everybody gets something. Republicans unexpectedly get a rate cut, minor but symbolic after having had to swallow the fiscal-cliff rate hike. The country gets the first significant tax reform in a quarter century. Obama gets $1 trillion worth of "balance," his price for real entitlement reform. And if he turns out to be serious about that, we get the Holy Grail - tax and entitlement reform all at once.
Which means a deal that manages to simultaneously promote efficiency, fairness, growth, debt reduction and a return to national solvency. In other words, the best deal since the Louisiana Purchase.

IreneUnited States5 Stars Out Of 5Perfect Book For Every Married Couple To Read!October 1, 2012IreneUnited StatesQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Please get this book for every married couple you know! Writing this book together the couple each give their point of view throughout it. They are both very open and come across as caring people who really want to help you grow in your marriage relationship.
The examples and stories found in this devotional are very realistic and every couple will find them helpful in some area of their marriage. The heart of the book can be found in their comparison of marriage to a tree. A tree with good roots is like a marriage that cares for the other person in their marriage more. A tree with shallow roots is like a marriage with self absorbed partners.
I gave this book 5/5 stars. I enjoyed each devotional and felt the whole of the book was informative and encouraging. The authors do very well at giving examples of the principle they are discussing. This is not a judgmental book but a very lovingly written advice book for married couples.
I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

Meanwhile, check out the great tips you've been missing:
The fastest, easiest way to increase your sign business's profits, of course, is to simply raise your prices. But it isn't always quite so simple. Fortunately, there are other ways to send more dollars to your bottom line without raising your prices. See what works for other successful sign shop owners.
Many, if not most, sign people find their way into the industry from an interest in the creative side of sign making. While that helps handle the daily demands for coming up with new ideas, it doesn't always help with the business of running a profitable business.
A good work order form helps you collect everything you need from the client to quote and produce the sign successfully. And if you have staff, it's even more critical that all the information gets passed along to them.
Tomm Moll, Signs by Tomm, Utica, New York, has done signage for car dealers for over 30 years. In the process he's learned a lot about sales from his car dealer clients. Here are 9 great tips that will help make you more successful at sales and profitability.
Recently we included a survey in Trade Secrets asking what you'd charge to letter a truck similar to the one Bob Stephens designed for the Design & Price feature in the July/August issue of SignCraft. The results are in--see how your price would compare to the averages of hundreds of shop owners.
When it comes to long-lasting advertising, a well-made sign is hard to beat compared to the longevity of other types of ads. Here's how to sell that terrific value.
So a local wrecking yard has purchased two new tow trucks, and they're in the market for a new look. They're spending money on other advertising around town, and tell you that they want their trucks to stand out. Take our survey and tell us what you'd charge.
So a local wrecking yard has purchased two new tow trucks, and they're in the market for a new look. What do you do, and what do you charge for it? Take a look at how four sign pros would price and design this project.
Here's a tool that will help you set your layouts apart from the rest and create customers who are really happy abouthte effectiveness of the signs you make for them. Squinting compromises the legibility of everything, and you see what's going to read as the dominant message. Learn how to put the squint test to work.
The most common cause of not pricing a job profitably is simply forgetting to charge for some portion of the job. Maybe you didn't account for how complex the sign really was or the time it took to install it. Overlooking one thing can eat up the profit on a sign job. See how Tomm Moll uses this simple one-word reminder to avoid those painful pricing errors.

Farmers pulling together for FUW flood relief aid
MIRANDA BOWEN.A huge load of silage donated by West Wales farmers has just been delivered to a Somerset farm that suffered severe flooding recently.
SOMERSET BOUND: Consignment of bales being loaded at Carmarthen Market.The consignment was the first load of bales to be loaded at Carmarthen Market for Somerset and was taken to Batch Farm at Godney, near Wells, on a lorry supplied by hay and straw merchant Lyndon Jones, of Rhos, Llangeler, near Llandysul.
The operation was organised by Carmarthenshire animal portraits artist Miranda Bowen who is helping Farmers' Union of Wales Ceredigion county chairman Aled Rees coordinate deliveries to the West Country from West Wales.
Mr Rees said: "This latest consignment brings the loads that have left Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire so far to a total eight with another one being loaded this morning in Cardigan."
Last Saturday a load of fodder went to Somerset from the farm of FUW member Maelgwyn Davies of Panteryrod, Llwyncelyn, near Aberaeron, that he and fellow members in the Mydroilyn area donated.
Tomorrow (Thursday April 17) 40 bales of hay silage - donated by FUW member Lyn Thomas, Pantfeillionen, Horeb, Llandysul - are due to be delivered to Paul Lock's farm, Whitegate, at Stembridge, near Taunton, and plans are also being made to send more loads next week to farms in neighbouring Martock and Langport.
"We continue to receive pledges of forage so the whole operation is going well," said Mr Rees. "Hauliers are great too, making it easy to work with the farmers. It just shows what people can do when they pull together."

Guestbook comments from the owner
We just want you to know how much we enjoyed staying at the Lazy G Lodge this last week! It is one of the nicest properties we have been to for our family reunions over the last nine years. The home was so well equipped - you'd thought of everyhting that we might need. The bicycles were used often and the ping pong table was a hit. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub on the back deck, too.
We'd love to stay at the Lazy G Lodge again! Thank you.

Photography and illustration talk, Part 3: Backdrops and lighting
February 11, 2014
Somewhat lamely, this is the only slide I had in about lighting. I left it up while I talked about the most important points, which are:
- Don't use a flash unless you absolutely have to.
- If you can swing it, the common convention is to have specimens illuminated from the upper left.*
- If you have the time, it's not a bad idea to bracket your Goldilocks shot with brighter and darker photos, by fiddling with your camera settings.
* I happily violate this convetion if illumination from another angle shows the specimen to better advantage–and if I have any control over illumination. Working with big bones in some collections, you basically have overhead florescent lights and that's it. The NHM shot above may look not-so-hot, but there we at least had a desk lamp we could move around. In a lot of places I've worked, I didn't have even that.

Giraffatitan skull photos
February 10, 2014
Let it never be said that we don't take good care of our commenters. Heck, we'll even degrade ourselves by blogging about theropods, if that's what it takes to keep you all happy.
Today's post is a response to this comment by Dean, asking for lateral view photos of the skull of Giraffatitan. Mike and I did get to spend some quality time with the T1 skull (a.k.a. "Old Toilet-Face") when we were in Berlin in 2008.
Unfortunately, most of our photos turned out not-so-hot. The room around the skull was not large, so we couldn't get back very far from it. Hence our photos are plagued by perspective distortions.
Also, we didn't have a tripod along and the light level was fairly low, and the combination of handheld shots and long exposure times meant that most of the shots are at least a little blurry.
BUT. It was still a thrill to see that skull up close.
The crazy thing about Giraffatitan is that the skull looks like it's going to be pretty sweet when you see it from the side. Because you're thinking it's going to be kinda narrow, like a giraffe's head. Then you get even a partial front view and suddenly the animal's whole skull looks like a partially-deflated whoopie cushion (whereas in life it looked like a mostly-inflated whoopie cushion). And then you have to live with the knowledge that one of the most majestic animals that ever lived on Earth was afflicted with derpty-face. I'll bet they went extinct from shame.
Still, there is some cool anatomy to see here, especially the snout-troughs leading down from the external nares, and the neurovascular foramina on the maxillae.
And, crucially, brachiosaurs had the good taste to hide their freakish countenances 45 feet up, where they could be safely ignored by everyone other than pterosaurs and birds. This has not escaped the notice of exhibit designers:

Pathological mammal skulls of the California Academy of Sciences
January 31, 2014
Back in the early aughts Cal Acad did a huge exhibit simply titled, "Skulls". It was extremely rad, and I could have been running a separate blog this whole time with nothing but photos from that exhibit. (Update: the website for the exhibit is still going. Check it out.) I was just sorting through some old folders and found some favorites. The photo above is the wall of California sea lion skulls, 900-odd in all, arranged from the biggest, gnarliest males on one end to the most gracile females on the other end.
They also had quite a few pathological sea lion skulls. Here are two that haunted me–they got tangled up in fishing lines that slowly sawed through their skulls and into their brains, killing them.
This elk had a pretty funky growth on its right dentary.
But easily the most "Naw!"-inducing pathology in the whole exhibit was this poor deer, which has a pathological growth the size and shape of a big pastry where its right eye used to be. I don't know if it's just a coincidence that its antlers are all wonky, too–maybe Darren will show up and enlighten us.
So if you're feeling down, you can at least console yourself that you don't have a flyblown, pus-leaking cinnamon roll of pathological bone growing on your face. Have a nice day!
Vicki's book, Broken Bones, is out!
December 18, 2013
When we last left my better half, Dr. Vicki Wedel, she was helping to identify a Jane Doe who had been dead for 37 years by counting growth rings in the woman's teeth. That case nicely illustrated Vicki's overriding interest: to advance forensic anthropology by developing new methods and refining existing ones. To that end, for the past few years she has been working with her PhD advisor, Dr. Alison Galloway at UC Santa Cruz, to revise and update Alison's 1999 book, Broken Bones: Anthropological Analysis of Blunt Force Trauma. The revised and much expanded (504 pages vs 371) second edition, co-edited by Vicki and Alison, came out Monday (Amazon, Amazon.co.uk).
You can read the whole table of contents on Amazon (click to look INSIDE!), but the short short version is that the book has three major sections. The first covers the science and practice of trauma analysis (pp. 5-130), and the second classifies hundreds of common fractures throughout the skeleton, with illustrations (pp. 133-313). The chapters in these sections were all written by Vicki, Alison, and another of Alison's former students, Dr. Lauren Zephro, solo and in varying combinations. Lauren, whom I always think of as "the Amazon cop", is a 6-foot blackbelt forensic anthropologist for the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office. If push came to shove I have no doubt that she could beat me to death with her bare hands and then produce a technical analysis of my corpse.
The final section (pp. 314-410) consists of nine case studies contributed by forensic anthropologists, pathologists, medical examiners, forensic and medical artists, and a DoD casualty analyst, based across the Anglophone world from Hawaii to Scotland. There's some grim stuff in there: trauma to the homeless and elderly, from intimate partner violence, and from child abuse. It's gut-churningly awful that the defenseless suffer from bone-breaking violence; it's always been amazing to me that people like Vicki, Alison, Lauren, and the other contributors have both the courage to face these horrors and the technical chops to make the unspeakable solvable.
Beyond that unavoidable darkness, if you're interested in the many, varied, and often just plain weird ways in which people die, the book is a treasure trove. There's an elderly woman lying on her deathbed for six years, slowly turning into a natural mummy… (wait for it) …while her daughter went on living in the same house. There's a classification of plane crashes with a description of what human remains will be found and over what area. There are people hit by trains; the funniest line in this very serious book is the deadpan and unsurprising, "The typical pedestrian hit by a train is male and often highly intoxicated."
That's from the top of page 122. At the bottom of the same page is my one contribution to the book, which also appears as the cover art (yeah, nepotism, whatcha gonna do). There's a story behind this. This guy–yes, male, dunno if he was intoxicated–was hit by a train and his head was sheared in half, with the somewhat fractured but mostly intact facial skeleton separated by a lot of missing bone from the occipital region. With no way to obtain the deceased guy's permission to use his mortal remains in the book, Alison and Vicki didn't feel comfortable including their photos, so I spent a weekend bashing out a technical drawing for them to use instead. That reawakened my interest in pen-and-ink work and led to the dödö pöst.
I should say two things right here: first, that yes, I am hijacking the rest of the post to talk about myself. (Is anyone really surprised? I thought not.) Second, that I have had no training and possibly my stippling violates Art Rules or best practice guidelines of which I am ignorant. But I hope it also illustrates what can be achieved in a couple of days, with about $15 worth of supplies, by a guy whose only rule is "möre döts".
So anyway, if you're curious, here's the method I use for my pen-and-ink illustrations:
- Get a decent-sized photo of the object to be drawn. I usually roll with $2 8x10s from MalWart, in this case one for each half of the skull.
- Tape the photo down to your work surface. I have a large, incredibly hard, perfectly smooth cutting board that I use for this, but in a pinch you could use just about anything, including just a larger piece of paper. Cardboard off the backs of desk calendars is nice.
- Over the photo, tape down a piece of tracing paper.
- Lightly trace the outline of the photo and all the major details in pencil.
- Once you've gone as far as you can with that, peel up one side of the tracing paper, unstick the photo from the work surface, and remove it. Stick the tracing paper back down the work surface.
- Using the uncovered photo as a reference, pencil in any other salient details by eye. Also contour lines for shadows. All of the pencil lines are going to be erased later, so don't be shy.
- Whenever you decide you're done with the pencil, get a good pen and start tracing, directly over the pencil lines. I tend not to be too persnicketty about my tools but decent pens are a real help here. For these recent works, I picked up a three-pack of beige-tubed Micron pens for $7 (this set).
- In all of the following pen-related steps, be careful to keep your big stupid hand and arm off the wet ink you just laid down–one careless smear can ruin a few hours' work. Having a work surface that you can rotate is nice, so your pen hand can approach the drawing from any angle. Anytime I have to lay my hand on the drawing, I put down a piece of clean scrap paper first. Even if the underlying ink is dry, it just feels like a smart precaution.
- Once the lines are on, add döts to taste. With a little experimentation, you can get patterns of dots to not only indicate light and dark but also suggest textures. Different pen tips and amounts of pressure will yield dots of different sizes, which can also be useful. Dense, overlapping dots can produce an effect similar to scratchboard. BTW, sometimes I do "gear down" and place each dot with thought and care, but in the dense sections I just rat-a-tat-tat like a Lilliputian jackhammer. Try different speeds and see what you can tolerate.
- When you're done dötting, at least to a first approximation, and you're dead certain the ink is all dry, get a decent eraser and erase all of the pencil lines. I used one of those clicky mechanical erasers because it was cheap and soft enough to not tear up the paper.
- Re-ink any lines lightened by the erasing. I find that the döts are usually unaffected, but lines are often knocked down a bit by the eraser work. I suppose it would be cleaner to just draw natively in pen, with no prior pencilling and therefore no erasing, but the few times I've tried it, it hasn't gone well. YMMV. If you're drawing a 3D solid, this is a good time to employ an old illustrator's trick, which is to make the bottom outline heavier and darker than the rest, to subtly convey a sense of weight.
- Scan, touch up as needed in GIMP, post to blog, bask in self-admiration.
In this case I had a few more steps, which consisted of making variants of the drawing and test-driving them by Vicki and Alison so they could pick their favorites.
This is just embarrassing: after scanning the two drawings and doing a little touch-up, I just scooted them together until they looked like a skull. The problem is that the occiput is nowhere near anatomical position. See that flange of bone above the ear-hole, pointed down and right at a 45-degree angle? That's the back end of the zygomatic arch, and it should be aimed at the forward stump of the arch, which is just down and back from the eye socket.
Here's the B version, where I was working entirely off of the zygomatic arch ends, and trying to get the skull into anatomical position. Scientifically this is probably the best variant I produced (I'm not claiming it's the best possible), but aesthetically it's a little crowded.
I'll spare you versions C-E, all of which just scooted the back end of the skull around in an attempt to find a balance between scientific and aesthetic concerns. Here's the winning F version, which got used for the figure, and became the seed variant for the cover.
For the cover, we tried a lot of things, including the white skull on a black background, and one that was simply inverted from the figure. By this point the publisher had sent Vicki some test versions of the cover, and I thought it would be cool if the drawing was in the same color as the cover text, so I sampled that color from the publisher's sample cover image and applied it to all of the drawn bits. They knocked it down a few tones for the printed version, so happily it's not this garish.
Incidentally, I had never tried to replace a bunch of discontinuous areas of the same color with another color in GIMP, so I had to look it up. The two key steps are Select > By color, with the threshold set to zero (or not, if you want to grab a bunch of related colors at once), and "Fill whole selection" in the Bucket tool. Hat tip to this dude and his commenters.
One last step: I thought the bare, unfilled yellow version looked too flat, so I tried different levels of fill to make the skull pop out from the background. I didn't use bucket fill here–too fiddly with so many dots and edges. Instead I created a new layer of solid yellow and dropped the opacity to 17%. Then went to the drawing layer and used the magic wand tool to select the whole non-skull background. Then popped back to the yellow layer and cleared that selection, leaving yellow fill only in the boundaries of the skull outline. I also tried 10% and 25% opacity for the fill layer, but 10% was too subtle and 25% was starting to swamp some of the detail in the drawing. Between goofing around with colors and opacity levels we went through 10 versions at this stage, of which the one above is the ultimate champion.
So, that's how the cover art came to be. Back to the book. There's a bibliography with 1237 references (Vicki knows), and an index. The book is hardbound, with a printed cover and no dustjacket, and IMHO reasonably priced at $65, currently a few bucks less on Amazon. You probably already know whether you want a copy. If so, do the right thing–it's not too late to get it by Christmas.

Bare bear bone: beautiful
December 17, 2013
Yes, it's bear skulls on the brain lately. I have nothing scientific to say here, I was just going through old files and found myself struck by the beautiful form and texture of the bones. The photos are all close-ups of this skull of an American black bear, Ursus americanus.
Part of the forehead, where the nasal bones (bottom center) and maxillae (either side) meet the frontals (top).
The left temporal bone in posterodorsal view; anterior is to the left. The open web of bone in the middle of the photo is one of the pneumatic sinuses inside the temporal bone. The round hole just above the web enclosed a blood vessel in life. The half-tube on the right is the bottom half of external auditory meatus, or bony ear-hole (where you stick the Q-tip when you clean your ears, if you're a reckless, safety-warning-diregarding outlaw). All of this got exposed when a bullet or shotgun slug took the back quarter of this bear's head off, as described here.
Personally I'd be happier if the skull was still in the bear and the bear was still doing its bearish business, but as long as it's dead anyway, we might as well learn what we can from the remains (my universal policy on dead animals). And also just stop now and then to appreciate their natural intricacy and beauty.
Carnivore Skull Challenge: the reveal
December 10, 2013
Many thanks to everyone who played pin-the-skull-on-the-carnivore. The answers are down at the bottom of this post, so if you've just arrived here and want to take the challenge, go here before you scroll down.
To fill up some space, let me point out how crazy variable the skulls of black bears, Ursus americanus, are.
Here's the one I helped dig up, missing the occipital region. Note the double inflection in the dorsal outline that separates the forehead from both the snout and top of the head, and the way the nasal bones stick out at a very different angle from the maxilla.
Here's the skull of a black bear from the La Brea tar pits, in the Page Museum in L.A. I don't know if this one was female or juvenile or what, but the dorsal margin of the skull is one mostly-smooth curve from occiput almost to incisors, with the nasals scarcely deviating at all. Lest you think these differences were caused by evolutionary change rather than intraspecific variation, similar "roundhead" bear skulls from modern times are here and here and near the bottom of this page.
It's this variability that first got me thinking about doing the Carnivore Skull Challenge. I saw a couple of photos of skulls of wolverines, and except for having carnassial cheek teeth instead of flatter premolars and molars, the wolverine skulls look like they could fit right into the span of black bear skull variability (in shape; obviously they're not nearly as big). Then I saw a hyena skull and thought that it wasn't that far off from a wolverine either. A little more searching for plausible distractors and I was all set.
Here are the answers, by the way:
It's kind of ironic, then, that the first two people to venture identifications picked out the black bear right away. In the very first comment, Dean got it almost all right except for swapping the seal and the fossa. Dean was also the first to get all of the skulls correctly identified, albeit on his second pass. Markus Bühler (of Cthulhu-sculpting fame) was the first to get them all the first time. Tom Nutter, our own Darren Naish, and microecos Neil also aced the test, although in light of the Page Museum bear skull shown above, I was amused to see Darren's "D: Bear. Because forehead." I guess it's one of those presence-of-forehead-means-bear, absence-of-forehead-does-not-rule-out-bear things that logicians are always going on about.
I was really happy to see people getting the wolverine and hyena mixed up, because they really do look strikingly similar to me. It's almost like hyena + bear = wolverine.
Brian Engh asked on Facebook when I was going to do one for sauropods. Patience, good sir! It's on my to-do list.
Finally, speaking of bear skulls, you can get a sweet tiny bronze one with a hinged jaw as part of this already successful Kickstarter, or from Fireandbone.com once the Kickstarter ends.
Something very different, and very unexpected, tomorrow.
Know your mammal skulls? Take the Carnivore Skull Challenge!
December 9, 2013
In this image I have assembled photos of skulls (or casts of skulls) of six extant carnivores. I exclusively used photos from the Skulls Unlimited website because they had all the taxa I wanted, lit about the same and photographed from similar angles. The omission of scale indicators is deliberate.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to match these skulls with the animals they came from. Here are their currently-understood hierarchical relationships, scientific names, and common names (aside: I know this is ugly, is there a way to make nested tables in WordPress?).
- – Herpestoidea
- – – – Eupleridae
- – – – – – Fossa, Cryptoprocta ferox
- – – – Hyaenidae
- – – – – – Brown hyena, Hyaena brunnea
- – Arctoidea
- – – – Ursoidea
- – – – – – American black bear, Ursus americanus
- – – – Musteloidea
- – – – – – European badger, Meles meles
- – – – – – Wolverine, Gulo gulo
- – – – Pinnipedia
- – – – – – Mediterranean monk seal, Monachus monachus
If you accept the challenge, leave your guesses as comments below, but only if you've played fair–no checking websites, references, or your own skull collection! Don't worry about being wrong, I freely admit that I would have flunked this bigtime if anyone else had inflicted it on me. I decided to set up this challenge after I noticed the striking similarity between two of these critters in particular; I'll tell you which two when I post the reveal in a day or two.

World-class brakes don't happen by accident. Meritor has invested millions of dollars in its air disc brake research and development program at its Cwmbran Wales manufacturing facility. Engineers gather data from 14 testing clusters to reveal areas for potential improvement. The in-lab testing is validated by field testing. The result is an air brake that deployed around the globe is dozens of different applications. Here's a glimpse of some of the testing Meritor employs.

Miles Nielsen releases new album Feb. 14
Staff Report
Singer-songwriter Miles Nielsen stirs up his own pop rock brand of Beatles-esque Cosmic Americana with his sophomore album, Miles Nielsen Presents The Rusted Hearts, available nationally at digital retailers Feb. 14 via independent label Rotown Records.
Having previously been released in a limited run at concerts and his website in the fall, the 12 tracks now make their way from the Midwest to listeners everywhere. Nielsen will continue touring throughout the area with a coast-to-coast tour kicking off in February.
The son of legendary Cheap Trick guitarist/songwriter Rick Nielsen, Miles calls Rockford home and collaborates with the area's top talent. The end result is a meticulously arranged album with gorgeous tones and thoughtful production.
The opening shuffle, de facto theme song "Rusted Hearts" sets the scene with a Charlie Chaplin reference and wheezy organ. Waltz-time "Dear Kentucky (You're Killing Me)" is thick with cigarette smoke, hungover daylight and regret. "Sirens" begins on a minor key New Orleans-styled woodwind part but quickly reveals a sunny "I was just waiting on the rainbow" chorus.
Lest you think the whole album is all nuance and genre work, there are ample rockers as well. "Cold War" chugs along with subtle xylophone touches; "Overrated" rolls in on a rollicking two-bar drum intro and a healthy sense of humor, and "The Grain" features a hooky, wordless chorus, chiming guitar and bright Wurlitzer piano.
Making up The Rusted Hearts are Daniel James McMahon (guitar/vocals), Micky Rosenquist (drums/percussion), Adam Plamann (horns/percussion/keys/vocals) and Andrew Scarpaci (bass/vocals). Several of the members previously played with the Wisconsin-based ensemble Cory Chisel & The Wandering Sons while some are currently performing around Rockford in a side project with Cheap Trick's drummer Bun E. Carlos.

Very nice place with a perfect location for walks to both the Vatican and the Via Corso area. We had a lovely room in a antico moderno style with a great bathroom. A friendly staff made it a lovely stay in Rome.We will be back.
Good location.
Room was quite small, especially to how it appeared in photos.
won't recommend it...
far from subway station, noisy room near major traffics
Decor was awesome. Room facing back was a definite advantage as street noise was very loud although you had a view of river.
Not really a hotel. It was on first floor of building. There was no staff available after 7pm although on 2 nights, they were gone before then. There was no way to contact staff in the evenings, no emergency numbers. We had no toilet paper and searched through closets in the hall. There is no telephone in the room, the safe was not able to be used until the following day and the safe could be carried out of the room
The decoration: the room was really nice. Breakfast was good. Staff was good and friendly.
The bed was not comfortable. The room was cold.
The staff were really friendly and the room was excellent. Even had a hot tub in the room. The location was great 15 minutes walk from Vatican and just over the bridge 5 minute walk to loads of nice restaurants.
The space of the room was pretty large with the mezzanine (which we never used). Room is clean and B&B has friendly staff. 15min walk from Castle St. Angelo and 25min walk from St. Peter's square
Very noisy even with the sound proof windows, very limited selection of breakfast, staff not knowledgeable and didn't inform us much on their facilities. Hard to find location.
Staff Design of rooms Location Price-value balance Simple but good breakfast
No late check-out possible Springs in beds/mattress can be felt and are up for re-newal
The room and breakfast room were very nice, food was great and the staff were friendly. Everything was very clean.
Our room was right next to the breakfast room so there was no way we could sleep past 7am. Staff provided a map but it wasn't very detailed. The noise from traffic was significant when the windows were open.

Council raises white flag on UGB

While the city has been attempting to fulfill state-mandated expansion of the UGB (20 year supply of available land for development), a small group of NIMBYs have staked out Mac as the battleground to thwart any and all common sense approaches to land use.
Why? Apparently because the system allows it. One appeal leads to another, this lawsuit replaces that one, and any negative court decision is quickly appealed to a higher court. The basic tactic is delay, which by nature, leads to mounting costs.
The city's legal staff has been answering and explaining the UGB plan to LCDC, LUBA, and the Oregon courts for 17 years! If one has any experience as to the cost of legal representation, then it should be no surprise that Mac has spent well over 7 digits to defend any expansion during that time.
So, a few malcontents can waste precious tax dollars at whim, without any responsibility or consequences -- they are allowed to complain, file suit, appeal, and re-appeal -- and walk.
The odds are great that if Oregon's court system allowed the tested application of 'loser pays' to apply to land use, this foolish nonsense would diminish considerably. That in turn would leave the city's finances in much better shape, and more funds would be available for necessities within the community.
Wouldn't it be sweet justice to 'move the goalposts' on those who have perfected the art?

U.S. claims world championship gold
Kevin Durant beamed as he listened to his national anthem, which hadn't been played at the end of the basketball world championship in 16 years.
And that was no "B-Team" standing beside him on the center of the medals platform.
It was the best team in the world.
The United States won its first world basketball championship since 1994 on Sunday, beating Turkey 81-64 behind another sensational performance from the tournament MVP.
Durant scored 28 points, setting a record along the way for most in the tournament by a U.S. player. He left the court with 42 seconds remaining and shared a long hug with Coach Mike Krzyzewski, who finally won the world title after his previous two attempts ended with bronze medals.
"Our only option was to come out here and get a gold, and it feels really good to bring this back home to the States," Durant said.
Lamar Odom added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Americans, who won gold in the worlds for the fourth time, doing so with a team that was no sure thing after coming to Turkey without the superstars from its Olympic gold medal team.
With Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Co. sitting home, this group was called a "B-Team," which the players were aware of and couldn't wait to disprove.
"That was extra motivation," Durant said. "It was exciting to come out here and win and also to prove people wrong."
And they came through where many of their bigger-name predecessors couldn't four years ago in Japan in the world championship, beginning to quiet a raucous crowd midway through the second quarter with a superb defensive effort.
"I thought we rallied and we became a little bit of an unconventional team," Krzyzewski said. "We thought we could win, we just felt it would be a lot harder, and they worked real hard and they made it happen."
Durant, who scored 33 and a U.S.-record 38 points in the previous two games, again took care of the offense, qualifying the U.S. for the 2012 Olympics.
Hedo Turkoglu of the Phoenix Suns scored 16 points for the Turks, who were bidding for their first title and were boosted by huge crowd support, with fans in red filling most of the 15,000-seat Sinan Erdem Dome.
Lithuania beat Serbia for the bronze earlier in the day.
Durant scored 20 in the first half, then hit consecutive 3-pointers early in the third quarter, yelling at Turkish fans sitting courtside and pounding his chest after the second, as the U.S. quickly extended a 10-point halftime lead.
The Americans already knew they'd be bringing a different team to Turkey after all the gold medalists from the 2008 Olympics opted to take this summer off. Then All-Star forwards Amare Stoudemire and David Lee were forced to withdraw on the opening day of training camp.
The U.S. was left with a young, undersized team, featuring six players 22 or younger and only one true center in Tyson Chandler, who quickly became a backup when forward Odom was installed as the starter.
So this team simply rode Durant to the gold medal. The NBA scoring champion made seven 3-pointers against Turkey, often pulling up from places that were simply too far away for its zone to reach, and the Americans outrebounded the Turks 42-34.
"This team had a lot of character and poise," Odom said. "A lot of people thought we were undersized and we didn't have a center, we didn't have too many big guys. People thought we were going to get killed on the inside, but we played tough, hung in there, and stayed strong, focused."
The whistling was so loud when U.S. players were introduced that it was hard to make out the names. There were more whistles and boos every time the Americans had the ball in the early going, and the building was at its loudest when Turkoglu made consecutive 3-pointers to give Turkey its first lead at 15-14 with 4:07 remaining in the first quarter.
Durant was most of the U.S. offense, as he often was throughout the tournament, scoring 11 points in the quarter to help the Americans to a 22-17 advantage.
Unable to crack Turkey's zone, the U.S. kept going smaller to get more shooting on the floor, at one point playing Durant and Rudy Gay with guards Eric Gordon, Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook.
The U.S. held Turkey to one field goal over the first 6 minutes of the second quarter, extending the lead to 10 on a 3-pointer by Durant. The Americans were ahead 42-32 at halftime.
The U.S. victory put a disappointing end to an important day for Turks, who approved sweeping changes to their constitution in a referendum vote, which the government hailed as a leap toward full democracy.
President Barack Obama called Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan before the game, congratulating him on the success of the tournament and Turkey's team while acknowledging "the vibrancy of Turkey's democracy as reflected in the turnout for the referendum."
But the team, serenaded throughout by fans singing "12 Giant Men," its theme song since its runner-up finish while hosting the 2001 European championship, fell short of becoming the fourth host to win the world championship and first since Yugoslavia in 1970.
The Turks were a step slow and consistently beaten on the boards, perhaps drained from their thrilling 83-82 victory over Serbia in Saturday's late game.
"Nobody was expecting to be this far," Turkoglu said. "So I'm really happy, really proud."
FIBA inducted its Hall of Fame class at halftime, a group that included women's star Cheryl Miller, former NBA centers Vlade Divac and Arvydas Sabonis, and Brazilian star Oscar Schmidt.
