The Big 12 is delaying the start of its baseball tournament in Oklahoma City after this week's deadly tornado.
The league announced Tuesday that the tournament will change from a double-elimination format to pool play and start on Thursday instead of Wednesday.
Conference spokesman Bob Burda says Oklahoma City leaders asked the Big 12 not to cancel the tournament and allow it to show "the strong Oklahoma spirit and to the resiliency of the Oklahoma people."
One pool will feature regular-season champion Kansas State, No. 4 seed Oklahoma, No. 5 seed Baylor and No. 8 seed Texas Tech. The other will feature second-seeded Oklahoma State, No. 3 seed West Virginia, No. 6 seed Kansas and No. 7 seed TCU. The championship is Sunday.

It was a summer of love, indeed, for Saldana, who wed Italian artist Perego in a small ceremony surrounded by family and friends earlier in the season. "They are very happy," a source tells PEOPLE of the couple, who went public with their relationship in May at the Star Trek Into Darkness premiere.

Leighton Baines says Everton will keep fighting for a top-four finish, despite handing the initiative back to Arsenal with their defeat to Crystal Palace, Skysports reports.
The Toffees' surprise 3-2 loss to Tony Pulis' side on Wednesday night means they missed the chance to reclaim fourth position from the Gunners, who they now trail by a point and a place.
Both teams have four games remaining, with Everton facing what appears to be the tougher of the two run-ins.
However, England left-back Baines has not given up hope of claiming the final Champions League qualification spot.
"We are not in control of it," admitted Baines. "We are waiting for others to do us favours.
"But we have said all along it was going to be tough. It would be nice to have it in your own hands but we need to keep trying to win games and stay in there."
Everton had won seven matches in a row going into Wednesday's clash at Goodison Park.

Gun Control Symbol Dies
Is this a resonant headline or what? Sadly so.
"Gun Control Symbol Dies." Apparently in Alexandria, Va., too, and not in committee.
Brady, of course, was press secretary to Pres. Reagan, when, in March 1981, John W. Hinkley fired on the president and his entourage outside a Washington, D.C. hotel. One of the stray bullets entered Mr. Brady's brain. For the rest of his life, his left arm was paralyzed, his left leg weak, and he suffered short-term memory loss.
"What I was, I am not now," he said in 1994. "What I was, I will never be again."
As a result, he became a gun control advocate, and lent his name to the Brady Act, an amendment to The Gun Control Act of 1968, which Congress passed in 1993—the year before the Gingrich midterms turned everything bad. Five years later, the brunt of the Brady Act was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. In Printz v. United States, the 5-4 majority ruled that it was unconstitutional for the federal government to demand the assistance of local government officials in creating a national handgun database. However, the database was created anyway, as local officials didn't mind complying with federal requests.

Cantor, Now Castrato
Yesterday Eric Cantor (R-VA), the House Majority Leader, lost his primary to a Tea Party challenger, David Brat, a university professor. Apparently it's the first time a House Majority leader has ever lost a primary battle.
In one respect, it's been a long time coming. Here's Cantor's vote totals in general elections since he was elected in 2000:
|% Vote
Those are general election totals, not primaries, but you can see the trend downward. The longer he stayed in office, the less popular he became.
What does this primary defeat mean? I can see him losing because he's a douche, but he seems to have lost because he isn't douche-y enough for Republicans in Virginia's 7th congressional district. The media has focused on his mild support for immigration reform as the reason for his downfall. Nate Cohn of the Times isn't quite sure but adds this sad, inevitable thought:
Regardless of the exact reason for Mr. Cantor's defeat, the news media's focus on immigration is likely to deter Republicans from supporting comprehensive immigration reform.
And what to make of David Brat? A university professor where? According to the Boston Globe ...
He teaches economics at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Va. Brat, who has a Ph.D. and a Masters of Divinity, teaches mostly introductory economics classes at the college, a small liberal arts school outside of Richmond. ... Brat's previous research includes a study titled, ''An Analysis of the Moral Foundations in Ayn Rand.'' (Brat says he is not a Randian.) He frequently trumpeted the six elements of the ''Republican Creed'' on the campaign trail, which you can read at his website.
His Republican creed can be found here. I asume he's not a Randian because of the divinity thing.
Here's more reaction via Andrew Sullivan's site.
The bigger question relates to Cantor's falling general election totals. What's going on in Virgina's 7th? (The fightin' 7th!) Were folks voting against Cantor because he was a douche, an insider, or because he was leaning too far right at a time when the 7th was becoming more centrist? We'll see in November. I'd love to be able to post this headline then: "Brat, Spanked." But that's up to Virginia.

'Doctor, Always Do the Right Thing': Confidence Abroad in Obama
Lately, Peter Beinart of The Atlantic has been hearing Dick Cheney and Karl Rove and other Bush alums spout off about America's standing in the world: how we have "strained relations with allies" (Rove) and how "the perception around the world is increasingly negative" (Cheney).
Don't even get me started on The Economist.
So Beinart did the Nate Silver thing and crunched the numbers. In his piece, "Is the World Really Losing Faith in Obama?" he realizes ... they're not:
"Again, the numbers come from Pew, which has been asking people in key countries every year whether they have 'confidence' in America's president to 'do the right thing in world affairs.' Obama's popularity is down since 2009. Still, in Mexico and Argentina, the president's 2013 numbers (the most recent we have) are 33 percentage points higher than Bush's in 2008. In South Korea, the margin is 47 points. In Japan, it's 45 points. In Brazil, it's 52 points. In Britain, it's 56 points. In France, it's 70 points. In Germany, it's 74 points.
"In case you're reading quickly, 74 points isn't Obama's approval rating in Germany. It's the gap between his approval rating and Bush's. In George W.'s final year in office, 14 percent of Germans had faith that the president of the United States would do the right thing internationally. Last year, 88 percent did."
I love that 74-point gap. In Rotten Tomatoes' terms, that's basically the difference between Adam Sandler's "Blended" (14%/Bush) and the new "Captain America" (89%/Obama).
Obama in Europe in 2008. He still has an 88% approval rating in Germany vs. just 14% for Bush.

The Worst Op-Ed?
I know. So many options.
But this one comes from The Economist, which is usually smarter, and it's the lead-in to their cover story: WHAT WOULD AMERICA FIGHT FOR? THE QUESTION HAUNTING ITS ALLIES.
My immediate thought upon seeing the cover line was: What wouldn't America fight for? Well, I guess genocide in Rwanda. But aluminum tubes? Send in the Marines.
The Op-Ed is worse. Bottom of the second graf:
But when America's president speaks of due caution, the world hears reluctance—especially when it comes to the most basic issue for any superpower, its willingness to fight.
Immediate thought: How the fuck do you know what the world hears?
We get more of these vague lines: "Doubt has spread quickly ..." "Doubt feeds on itself ..." "For every leader deploring Mr. Putin's tactics, another is studying how to copy them."
Evidence? Anything? Bueller? McFly?
Then we get this line more than halfway through:
The critics who pin all the blame on Mr Obama are wrong. ... the president has often made the right call: nobody thinks he should have sent troops to Crimea, despite the breaking of the 1994 agreement.
(TE: Doesn't this graf contradict the entire premise of the piece? Curious. — EL)
The art for the article, by the way, shows a grinning fox eyeing a lolling Uncle Sam, his shephard's staff on the ground beside him, while keeping a paw on a very, very scared sheep. The sheep's fur is dotted with the continents of the world.
The article also has a sidebar, titled "Unrivalled, for now," in which the authors expound on the insane advantage the U.S. has in terms of military budget compared to everyone else. Key line: "China and Russia combined spend less than half what America does ..." And The Economist is worried why? Oh right, because it knows what the world hears.

What's Your Favorite Conspiracy Theory from the Militia Members at the Bundy Ranch?
Cliven Bundy believes in the American flag but not so much to the republic for which it stands.
Caty Enders of Esquire did the dirty work so we didn't have to: She hung out at the Bundy Ranch even as FOX News and Sean Hannity were skedaddling in the wake of the Cliven Bundy's racist comments last weekend. Read her piece, it's very, very unpleasant, particularly when Bundy starts talking about receiving word from God. Then take the poll below. Afterwards, we'll have a special screening of "Capricorn One." Nah, we'll watch Stephen Colbert's masterful takedown on both Cliven Bundy and Sean Hannity, which is about the best thing I've seen on television in years. Also worthwhile: Slate's Amanda Marcotte on why Bundy is no welfare queen. No, he's much, much worse.

The Bachelor Sues Reality Steve For Second Time in as Many Seasonsby Free Britney at . Comments
The producers of The Bachelor, which kicks off its 17th season tonight, are filing their second lawsuit in two years against reality TV spoiler guru Reality Steve.
Every winter, The Bachelor spoilers run rampant. Every summer, The Bachelorette spoilers do the same. Somehow, some way, Steve gets it done.
How? No one knows. But ABC is not happy about it.
NZK Productions and Horizon Alternative Television claim the site's creator, Stephen Carbone, has been "unlawfully obtaining" info about the upcoming season.
He does this, according to court documents, by soliciting details from cast and crew members who are contractually obligated to keep their mouths shut.
As a result, he's spoiling Sean Lowe's season. This is largely the same lawsuit that was filed against him before the prior season, starring Brad Womack.
In response, Reality Steve posted this statement:
"I spoil their show every season, they're pissed about it, so this is how they respond. What's funny in all this is, by suing me, they're admitting that my spoilers are correct."
"Do you honestly think if I gave away the wrong ending, and wrong eliminations, and wrong details about the dates that they would sue me? Of course not."
Carbone insists he did not and does not break laws at any point.
Of course, he also has never revealed the source of his intel.
The plaintiffs are seeking $75,000 in damages for intentional interference with contractual relations, as well as $10,000 for violating last year's settlement.
Steve and the producers settled the previous suit out of court; it's unclear whether anything changed or why they've decided to come after him again.
Thanks Reality Steve saving me the pain of watching.
This show is boring and just terrible. I guess ABC
wants to blame someone else.

What's the word on truffle salt?
- t
- Tracy L. Jun 14, 2005 11:08 PM
Does anyone have an opinion about truffle salt? I saw a recipe for cauliflower frittata in the July issue of Food and Wine magazine. The frittata is "finished off" with truffle salt and an aged baslamic vinegar. All the elements of the dish sound great; however, the truffle salt has me very intrigued. I am going to a chowish, semi-vegetarian get together in a few weeks and this dish might fit the bill.
i love my truffle salt better than most truffle oils. but it depends if you're using/prefer black or white truffles. most truffle salt features the black italian variety. the type of salt used has a lot to do with it as well. the jar i've got in the pantry now is fleur de sel with shards of black truffle. a little goes a long way. and it's divine in lieu of salt sprinkled onto eggs (especially warm runny yolks) in any incarnation, vegetables, and fish.
definitely as a finisher--nothing to season with mid-cooking.
I use my truffle salt in eggs for b'fast. I actually like it more than the oil. Truffle oil always seemed to have a tiny spent/turned aftertaste to it- just slight, but not enough to make me stop using it.
That taste does not exist in the salt, however. And the salt lasts a lot longer than the oil. Since I am wary about oversalting but have never been wary of over-adding fat, I guess I'm more conservative with the salt version.
I just got some from Salt Traders, http://www.salttraders.com/Detail.bok...
The ingredients list says (fine-ground) sea salt, ground truffles and truffle flavor.
It's not cheap -- $22 for a 3.5 ounce bottle -- but the flavor is excellent.
Truffle & Salt (3.5oz Bottle) @ $22.00

Our two Michelin starred restaurant.
M.B is the signature restaurant of the renowned Basque Chef Martín Berasategui. Martín's all-consuming passion for cooking began early in his life; he learnt the secrets of the cookery trade from the age of 14 whilst aiding his mother in her own fish restaurant in San Sebastian. Ten Years went by and Martin was awarded his first Michelin Star under his restaurant Lasarte. Since then Martin has gained, due to his passion and dedication to the art of culinary, a grand total of three Michelin stars, that to this day is the highest accolade for any chef. Overall, this renowned Chef has achieved an outstanding number of seven Michelin Stars in his restaurants around the world. Today, Martín's inspired interpretations of Spanish cuisine have made him a household name throughout Spain and the rest of the world. His cooking is characterized not just by its creativity and inventiveness but also by a profound understanding of flavour and a deep respect for ingredients: qualities that can be found in abundance at M.B. Further, the restaurant's natural ambiance of tranquility and simplicity enlighten all the exquisite flavours Martin's dishes have to offer.
M.B achieved his first Michelin star for the restaurant in 2010. The 2014 Michelin Guide for Spain and Portugal continues to recognize the gourmet destination's exceptional gastronomic standards both by retaining this star and awarding a second star in the command of the Chef Erlantz Gorotiza.

He said, "I am in such trouble but I don't think any one of you can help me, so what is the point of telling you?"
They became even more curious. They said, "Please tell us! Who knows; we may be able to do something. All together we may be able to find some way. If there is a problem, there must be some solution. If there is a question, somewhere there must be an answer to it."
Chuang Tzu said, "If you insist I will tell you what the problem is. The problem is not a question that you can find an answer for. It is a riddle which has no answer, and I am caught in the riddle; that's why I am sad. Last night I dreamed that I had become a butterfly, flying from this plant to that, from this flower to that flower. And I completely forgot that I was Chuang Tzu, the famous, great master: I was really the butterfly, Chuang Tzu was nowhere at all."
The disciples said, "This is not a problem - everybody dreams. We don't see the riddle."
Chuang Tzu said, "Wait a little, I have not told you the whole thing. Now waking up, the problem has arisen: perhaps now the butterfly has gone to sleep and is dreaming that she is Chuang Tzu. And I am caught in it: what's what? Has Chuang Tzu dreamed of a butterfly or is a butterfly dreaming of Chuang Tzu?"
They were all silent, then they said, "Perhaps you are right that we cannot help you. Nobody can help you."
But he had raised a tremendously important question. His question remained unanswered because I was not there! Naturally, for twenty-five centuries the question has waited for me. It is so simple. If I had been there I would have hit him really hard and awakened him.
The butterfly had no problem; it was not worried about what happened to Chuang Tzu. It was not concerned at all with Chuang Tzu - Chuang Tzu is concerned. The butterfly was alone, but you are not alone. Now you are sitting up in your bed concerned about what is right, what is real; whether you are Chuang Tzu or the butterfly.. all these things prove that you are not a dream, you are a reality.
The butterfly was just a dream. In a dream you are asleep. There are no questions, no problems. You don't even think that it is a dream: you are it, you are totally identified with it. Now you are not identified with it. You cannot be a butterfly, that much is certain, because butterflies are not concerned about such great philosophical problems. It is only the prerogative of man to be puzzled, to be worried, to be riddled.

Van Morrison first made a name for himself at the helm of The Angry Young Them, as an Irish Eric Burdon blowing harp and spitting out the blues with a gritty authority that said he'd kick your ass if he were any taller. The liner notes in that first album read, "When asked to produce a track that they considered 'a pretty song,' their answer was simply, 'NO! This is our music, you either like it or you don't.'" Of course, most people like it better when he's singing pretty songs like "Brown Eyed Girl" or anything on Astral Weeks, a 1968 release that just hit No. 19 on another list of greatest albums ever from the desk of Rolling Stone. It's been a while since Morrison's uncorked an Astral Weeks, preferring to dabble in skiffle and country and making an album with Jerry Lee Lewis' daughter since the new millennium kicked in. But he's singing great, which should be all that matters when he pours his Irish soul into the catalogue onstage. Here's hoping "T.B. Sheets" is on the list.

If your child has a damaged heart valve that leaks enough or is narrow enough to strain or enlarge their heart, they may need surgery to repair the valve. Sometimes, if the valve is too narrow, a balloon
catheter procedure
(balloon valvuloplasty) may be used to try to open the valve without surgery. However, in many cases, the valve cannot be opened with a balloon procedure, and a child needs surgery to replace their valve with an artificial one.

Staying Alive provides a fresh perspective on the issues surrounding health, health care, and illness. In addition to the traditional approaches of health sciences and the sociology of health, this book shows the impact that human rights issues and political economy have on health. This provocative volume takes up these issues as they occur in Canada and the United States within a wider international context. No other book takes such an in-depth look at the construction of health care and illness internationally.
This unique contributed volume also contains chapters on issues of pharmaceutical policy, social exclusion, gender and care, the social construction of illness and disability, and approaches to promoting population health that include insights into the impact of economic forces such as globalization and privatization on health care and other health issues.
With its emphasis on political economy and power distribution in a global perspective, Staying Alive will become essential reading for those with an interest in the relationship between human rights and health.

There are some great health food stores in Miami, but on the whole, Whole Foods has more and often better stuff. Seems there's always something you didn't see on your last visit: the latest chlorophyll/kelp tabs; a new herb mixture to strengthen the lungs; bricks of dark chocolate from Prague or other distant cities; exotic organic plums, kumquats, and pomegranates; champagnes; soy concoctions you've never heard of. Whole Foods' own brand of vitamins and sauces and teas and frozen veggies, et cetera, are, well, really good. The place makes a chipotle-chili salsa that kills. And the fresh seafood/poultry/meat section is hard to beat for the likes of free-range chicken, hormone-free beef, and fresh sausages that Jimmy Dean never imagined (try the chicken-basil-spinach, or Greek-style lamb). Whole Foods' new store north of its old location is, while giant, very pleasant. Sometimes there's even a masseur stationed near the entrance, ready to properly relax you for a complete holistic shopping experience.

"He always played with a smile. In matches, he'd go past you and, when the move was over, he'd be walking back and he'd smile at you as he went past – and that hurt more than him beating you! He was a lovely guy off the pitch, very shy. A lovely, gentle fella.
"People talk about great players from different eras and whether they would be as good today. George would be better in the modern game. He wouldn't be getting clattered from behind, he would get more protection from referees and he'd be playing on truer surfaces, not the awful grounds we used to play on."
Campbell Crawford
Another teenage debutant on the day, the young West Brom defender went head-to-head with Best when he switched wings.
"We had an injury, which meant Don Howe, the England full-back, went to wing-half and I came in at right-back for my debut at 19.
"It was a big game to play in, the crowd at Old Trafford was very intimidating, 50,000 people there. I think they held the kick-off up to get everybody in.
"I'd seen George play a week or two before because he played in the Reserves against us, but we didn't have any sense that he was going to be the big danger. I don't remember Jimmy Hagan, the manager, talking about George before the game because he was just a young lad making his debut.
"My job was marking Bobby Charlton, so that was enough for me to worry about before the game! I was a couple of years older than George and I knew how nervous I was before the match, so I assumed he'd be the same.
"After about 20 minutes, George came over to my side after Graham [Williams] had chipped him into the crowd! He didn't just stay on the left wing after that, he wandered about a bit. We had a good contest and I thought I did okay – he didn't make headlines, so I must have kept him reasonably quiet. However, he was such a tricky player, sharp, good acceleration. He loved to take you on, beat you with his close control, the ball was glued to him. He would do the unusual, things nobody expected, he had a great imagination.
"It was a more physical game then and I think his greatest asset was bravery, he had real courage. He took such a

Scottsdale police officer Chris Coffee and his new partner have a close relationship. They train together everyday, work side-by-side and even live together.
Coffee, 38, has been with the department nine years. His partner, who is Czechoslovakian and goes by the name Striker, is a three-year veteran who will turn 35 in June.
In dog years, Striker is a 4-year-old pure-bred Czech shepherd, one of six K-9 dogs working in the Scottsdale Police Department.
Saturday and Sunday , Coffee and Striker will join almost 60 other K-9 teams from around the Southwest in the fifth annual Desert Dog Regional Police K-9 Trials at Scottsdale Stadium.
"The competition is set up for real-life scenarios," Coffee said. "We don't train specifically for the trials. It's just what we encounter in the street."
And that training is a 24-hour-a-day job.
"It really takes about a year to really become comfortable with the dog," said Coffee, who was paired with Striker about a year ago. Coffee went through a six-week basic handler development school and then bomb detection school for seven weeks when he first signed on with the K-9 unit.
The training is ongoing, said Scottsdale's senior K-9 unit officer Owen Keefe.
"You invest a lot and it's usually someone that wants to be in this unit," Keefe said. "They train the most, more so than the SWAT teams. They train weekly as a unit and daily as teams. It's a lot of commitment, a lot of work. You have to want it."
And part of "wanting it" is taking the job home, something Coffee said he enjoys.
"He's with me more than my family," Coffee said.
"We work together. He comes home with me. We go everywhere together."
When Striker's at home, he's a regular dog, Coffee said. Striker gets along with his other two dogs: a cocker spaniel and a cocker-Shih Tzu mix, both diminutive compared with Striker.
Even at home, Striker is still a working dog. He's not allowed on furniture and is on a very strict diet to keep him prepared for the field.
And it's those real-life situations that make Striker and his colleagues so valuable. Striker is asked to conduct high-risk area searches and is often sent to clear an open space before officers are sent inside.
Coffee hopes to get about five more years from Striker before retiring him to the comforts of his house.
Maybe then he'll be even allowed on the furniture.

The Obamacare "Un" Affordable Care Act rollout has been a disaster. Its monstrous bureaucracy has done more harm than good.
The premise of the act defining and mandating what is and is not adequate coverage implies that we are not smart enough to choose what coverage we need.
It was touted as bringing health insurance costs down. Instead, costs have skyrocketed. It was supposed to have brought the uninsured under the insurance umbrella. It has instead caused nearly 6 million to lose their insurance because their policies didn't meet the mandated minimum coverage--such as a couple, 50-plus years of age, with two sons over 18 years of age, having to carry maternity, pediatric and birth control coverage.
There were about 41 million without health insurance. To date, they have spent in excess of $600 million to implement or fix the enrollment system.
Yes, we needed to reform the way health care was insured and regulated. We didn't get it. We got abuse of power that unconstitutionally restructured the best health care system in the world with mandates, taxes and punitive penalties.
We needed tort reform so our medical practitioners could concentrate on curative medicine rather than defensive medicine. That would have immediately lowered costs.
We needed regulation that would've removed interstate barriers to competition. We needed regulation to prevent bureaucrats from making medical decisions based on cost-benefit analysis.
We must scrap the current act and not retool what exists or it will become worse than it is. We must replace it with the reforms outlined above. Remember the axiom: "Physician, do no harm."
William M. Santina

I visited the Devon Furniture Company in Plymouth last week, and was amazed by the range, quality and affordable prices that were on offer. Although I am your typical Ikea shopper, it was great to see a better quality product on my doorstep. The bedding department took my eye, especially the pillow i tried out, which went hot or cold depending on your body temperature. Ideal for a Devon summer evening or the oncoming chill of winter... Worth a visit for anybody looking to improve their home.

2004 Oldsmobile Aleroayake1, Leominster, MA, December 27, 2012 10:38Good afternoon, my name is Leticia Anaya I'm from Leominster MA. I have a car Oldsmobile Alero 2004 since that year. It was used at the time I purcharse it. I began to have problem since them with the heating system I took it be seen they don't see the problem. In the summer when the wheather is hot, the car over heat. I checked and change the themot. the problem appear the same. Now, I have been problem with the hazard turn signal flasher, and the signal lights. I had to change the gas tank and the breaks I have to be changing it every often. I love my car I don't want to change, but I will like to have some support from your company of Oldmobile replace all this defect that my car has. Is a good car for summer and for winter only this few things needs to be fix in order for my car can in better shape. I'm hopping that you can be able to assist me with these issues. Thank you. Leticia Anaya.Enthusiast
2004 Oldsmobile AleroBbyBlu, Salem, IN, May 23, 2010 11:21I love this car! It is my very first car I have ever had. I am the 2nd owner to it. Besides normal wear n tear, I have had to replace a water pump, thermostat housing (twice, they should make this a metal part.) Alternator, Horn, And now I am working on the fuel pump. I got the car at 78,000 miles. Now it's at 186K. I have had her for 6 years. I have done all the work to this car myself, I don't trust shops. I did notice these cars do have a issue with the "Trac Off" "ABS" lights, Which is highly annoying when those are the ONLY dummy lights that are coming on. They also have a problem with the windows coming out of the brackets. They are great cars, ONLY if you take CARE of it, like any car. I even delivered pizza for almost 2 years in this car. Just change oil, do tune ups, brakes, etc...all the normal stuff in a timely manner and you shouldn't have to many "big money" problems. Treat your car with respect, and she will take you where ever you want to go. I love my Alero!! I will most likely get another in the future. But I really want to keep the one I got, I love it that much! I can't let this car go! They say "Drive it till the wheels fall off" And I say back to that "Put new wheels on and keep on rolling!" They are very durable cars!!Rookie
2004 Oldsmobile Alero[deleted], Morrisville, NC, August 22, 2008 08:54After 65,000 miles (2nd owner), had to replace front brake pads & rotors, throttle body, fuel filter; have injectors cleaned; and cooling system flushed. Only slight problem remaining is airbag cover on passenger side is starting to separate from dash. Also, I've had seal around windshield come off, but nothing some epoxy can't fix. Overall though, the car has held up extremely well.Rookie

Tales From the Monterey Weekend
Cars that go "teuf, teuf" and the Marx Bros. Mercedes.
By October 13, 2010 / Photos by Photo by Richard Owen
One of my super rides of the Monterey Weekend was in the 1928 S Boattail Roadster offered at the Gooding Auction. This stripped-down race car made all the right sounds, including an incredible shriek when full throttle invoked its Roots supercharger. Even more than this, the car's fascinating provenance validated its $3,740,000 winning bid at the auction. Once owned by two of the Marx Bros., Zeppo and Chico, this Mercedes took part in the Great Muroc Dry Lake Match Race of 1932.
It all began at a party at Al Jolson's Beverly Hills home. Phil Berg, business manager for the likes of Clark Gable and Gary Cooper, was there with his Model J Duesenberg. Zeppo and Chico brought their Mercedes, no doubt its supercharger emitting that shriek on arrival. Never one to pass up a good wagerin fact, many bad ones as wellChico challenged Berg to a $10,000 match race. The high desert's Muroc dry lake was chosen as venue.
Come the appointed day, four chartered buses and at least one celebrity-piloted aircraft brought out 200 invited Hollywood celebs. Word got around, and perhaps another thousand ordinary folk showed up. The initial $10,000 wager grew with side bets to some $25,000.
The course was a 5-mile circle, traversed thrice. According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, "Only inches separated them at the five-mile mark." Speeds reached 110 mph. Ultimatelywas it the American car's mechanical fuel pump? Zeppo's choice of cheap sparkplugs?the Duesenberg "forged ahead and finished far in the lead." Chico lost his bet.
There's another great Chico Marx story, utterly independent of all this but well worth the retelling. Befitting his nickname (pronounced "Chick-oh"), he was quite the womanizer. Once caught at this, Chico told his wife, "I wasn't kissing her. I was whispering in her mouth."
They actually do go "teuf teuf"
At Sunday's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the 60th anniversary of this wonderful event, the Henningsen Bros. 1903 Knox Model C Stanhope confirmed for one and all that these earliest automobiles do indeed go teuf teuf. (Seeand hearmy brief video of this at roadandtrack.com/knox.)
The gentle sound is traceable to the extremely low compression ratios of the era. This particular Knox, a wonderful example of Pebble's Prewar Preservation class, is utterly original save for slight repair of the driver's seat in the 1960s. And, of course, it runs just fine.
Porsche's 60th in the U.S.
My celebration of 's 60th anniversary in the U.S. was great fun: The company very kindly was my host for the week during which I had my first drive of a 356, Porsche's earliest product in this country. I also joined ace videographer John Lamm for the first action shots of the company's super 918 Spyder plug-in hybrid.
The 918 we saw was essentially a show car, and thus wasn't driven aggressively.
Once in production, though, it'll change a lot of thinking about what "hybrid" can mean.
My drive of the Porsche Museum's 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster clearly exhibited two things: how much fun it must have been to encounter such responsive motoring back then, and how honestly the Porsche tradition has evolved over more than half a century. For more on both, check out roadandtrack.com.
The Morgan EvaGT makes its debut at Pebble
The EvaGT 2+2 concept car that made its world debut at the Pebble Beach Concours certainly won't be confused with the company's earlier 4-Passenger Family Tourer (such as mine). Yet the car shows that Charles Morgan, grandson of H.F.S. who founded this 101-year-old sports-car maker, is shrewdly aware of the 21st century and its design demands.
The front end is particularly striking, its recessed grille shape being to Malvern Link what the 's horseshoe counterpart is to Molsheim.
