38 Aggregate Precoating Loader Precoating of aggregate with a purpose-built aggregate loader is a common practice in Australia and New Zealand (Sprayed Sealing Guide 2004). The loader is a unique piece of equip- ment that takes windrowed aggregate in one end and screens out the dust. It then precoats the aggregate through a trom- mel screen and loads the precoated aggregate directly into the dump trucks. VicRoads, an Australian road agency equiva- lent to an American state DOT, contends that using front-end loaders is not acceptable for loading chip seal aggregate owing to the increased fines associated with aggregate degra- dation during handling (Bituminous Sprayed Surfacing Man- ual 2003).

District 9
District 9, abbreviated D-9, is a 2009 science fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson. Released August 13, 2009 internationally and August 14, 2009 in North America, the film takes place in Johannesburg, South Africa and is based on Alive In Joburg, a short film by Neill Blomkamp with Sharlto Copley, Simon Hansen and Shanon Worley.
IMFDB would like to thank the film's armorer, Olly Steele, for his contributions to the page.
The following weapons were used in the film District 9:
Vektor CR-21
Multi-National United (MNU) soldiers guarding the District 9 internment camp carry Vektor CR-21 rifles with white stocks and what appear to be Leupold CQ/T optical sights.
Vektor CR-21 Prototype "BW-90"
There is also the 1st prototype for the CR21 in the movie for the first time on screen. It is used by the Nigerians and has a lot of dressing draped on it.
This is called the BW90 after Bruce Wentzel who designed it in 1990 - Olly Steele.
Remington 870
MNU guard Thomas (Kenneth Nkosi) uses a Remington 870 with a South African made tactical light during the alien evictions. Another 870 is used by a mercenary during the shootout at MNU headquarters.
Vektor R1
Full-stocked Vektor R1 rifles, equipped with shell deflectors, and scopes are carried by snipers aboard the helicopters circling District 9. This is an early model R1 which uses the wooden stock with metal ferrule.
Vektor SS-77
A Vektor SS-77 machine gun is mounted on a helicopter circling District 9.
Heckler & Koch MP5A4/2
Some of the MNU PMCs are armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A4/A2 submachine guns.
Remington 870 14 inch barrel
An MNU PMC and the manager at Gunters both arm themselves with some sort of short barreled shotgun fitted with a side saddle.
Vektor R5
Several MNU mercenaries are armed with Vektor R5 carbines, the South African version of the Israeli Galil SAR.
Vektor R6
Throughout much of the final action sequence, Koobus is armed with a Vektor R6, a compact version of the R5 with a 11-inch barrel.
Beretta 92FS
MNU mercenary leader Koobus Venter (David James) carries a Beretta 92FS as his personal sidearm.
Vektor R4/R5 synthetic AK-47 mockup
An Kalashnikov-style rifle of unknown make is used by several mercenaries, with 5.56x45mm magazines, a 45 degree gas block and a shortened barrel. The front sight block is close to the gas block much like the Hungarian AMD-65 rifle, but the weapon differs in having a AK-74 style muzzle brake and black polymer furniture. Closer Inspection of the receiver and magazine show it to be a Vektor R4/R5 mocked up as some kind of AK-47 type rifle.
Heckler & Koch G36C
Some mercenaries are armed with Heckler & Koch G36C rifles when they are searching for Wikus in District 9.
Several of the MNU mercenaries are armed with M4A1 carbines, some of which are fitted with M203 grenade launchers.
Armscor BXP
Koobus carries a South African Armscor BXP submachine gun fitted with a red-dot sight during the shootout at MNU headquarters.
Star Model BS
A Nigerian gangster threatens Wikus with a Star Model BS pistol when he goes to see Obesandjo. According to the movie's armorer Olly Steele, the pistol is a Star Model BS, which differs from the Star Model B due to the addition of a magazine safety.
Walther P38
A Nigerian gangster can be seen briefly armed with a Walther P38. The Walther P38 was the standard police sidearm in South Africa before being replaced.
AKM rifles are commonly seen in District 9, mostly in the hands of the Nigerian gangsters.
Griffon .177 air-rifle.
There is a Griffon .177 air-rifle in the cache.
Vektor R4/R5 mocked up as AKM
Several of the Nigerians and a PMC carry a Rifle that at first glance looks like a Norinco Type 84 or an AKM. However closer inspection of the receiver and magazine shows that in all likeliness it is a member of the Vector R4/R5 family made to look like a Type 84/AKM.
Custom Armsel Striker
A Nigerian which is shot by a mercenary after the rebels catch Wikus fires a Armsel Striker shotgun, which according to armorer Olly Steele has a long barrel and was fitted with various extras(such as an Imatronic LS45 Laser Sight).
RPK (mockup)
One Nigerian fires what appears to be a RPK light machine gun when the gangsters attack the MNU convoy; Closer inspection of the receiver reveals that it is actually a Vektor R4 mockup.
Beretta 92SB-C
One of the mercenaries holds Christopher prisoner with what appears to be a Beretta 92SB-C shortly before the Casspir they are riding in is attacked by the Nigerians.
GE M134 Minigun
The GE M134 Minigun is used by the Nigerians who have mounted it on a tower, and later by a PMC who commandeers it during the battle.
One mercenary uses an FN M249-E2 SAW to shoot at the alien mech.
Heckler & Koch G3 mocked up as G3SG/1
One mercenary sniper uses a Heckler & Koch G3 rifle modified by Hire Arms to look like a G3SG/1 or a SR9-type rifle, to shoot at the alien mech in the final battle sequence. The rifle also has what looks like a modified or mocked up U.S. Optics rifle scope.
Mechem NTW-20
A Mechem NTW-20 is used by a mercenary against the alien mech.
This is the first appearance of this weapon in a film.
A RPG-7 launcher is used by Koobus in an attempt to attack the alien transport ship as it takes off.
Denel PAW-20
Koobus uses a Denel PAW-20 grenade launcher during the final action sequence to disable the alien mech.
This is the first appearance of this weapon in a film.
Beretta 92SB
A Beretta 92SB takes the place of Koobus's Beretta 92FS in the climax.
Musgrave Pump Action
A South African Policeman is armed with Musgrave Pump Action shotgun during the news footage of the Armored car robbery.
Carried by MNU soldiers who burn down an alien hive. Unless proven otherwise, this weapon is probably a fictional model like countless other film productions. In a deleted scene in which Wikus steals an AFV, a canister that is attached to the flamethrower hose and nozzle is thrown from the vehicle before being driven off. The canister appears to be similar to a gas tank, much like that of a propane tank.

Visitation Rights for Divorced Parents in Illinois
Child visitation rights are awarded to the non custodial parent when joint child custody is awarded following separation or divorce. During the divorce process, a court may award short term child visitation rights to one parent while the other will be given primary physical custody of the child(ren) while the case is taking place. Long term child visitation rights are awarded in cases where a family law judge determines that it is in the best interest of the children to have regular contact with both parents.
Child visitation rights are considered a privilege rather than an automatically given right. If the court determines that it is not in the best interest of the child(ren) to award child visitation rights to one parent, s/he may award sole custody to one parent. In cases where child visitation rights are denied, the non-custodial parent may still be ordered to pay child support to the parent with physical custody over the child(ren). Child support responsibilities and child visitation rights are two separate matters in the family court's eyes.
Conversely, if one parent receives both child visitation rights and child support payment requirements, he may not lose his child visitation rights even if he fails to pay child support. This does not mean, however, that there are no repercussions for failing to pay court-ordered child support. There are numerous ways that a parent can be punished for failing to pay child support, but loss of child visitation rights is not one of them.
Child visitation rights laws allow parents to work out a reasonable visitation plan at their discretion so long as this plan is in the best interest of the children and both parents can agree to the terms. Negotiating child visitation rights can be done independently or with the help of a neutral third party mediator. A mediator can facilitate a discussion of each parent's needs and wants with the goal of reaching a mutually acceptable agreement about child visitation rights without going to trial.
If an agreement cannot be reached through independent or mediated negotiations, the court may intercede to determine child visitation rights. The court may also determine child visitation rights in cases involving domestic violence or highly conflicted families. When the court determines child visitation rights, it will develop a child visitation schedule that both parents and the child are bound by. A typical child visitation schedule allows the non custodial parent time spent with the child every other weekend, some time during the week, and certain holidays.
Child visitation rights can be changed for a variety of reasons including: relocation of the custodial parent, violation of a court order, a parent's job change, danger posed to the children by one parent, and more. The person who wishes to change any part of child visitation rights must petition the court for approval. The goal of child visitation rights is to allow each parent an opportunity to develop a parental bond with their children even if the marital bond no longer exists.

Council examines economic development priorities
What can the city do to drive investment to blighted neighborhoods?
Perhaps spend more public dollars.
That's one idea the City Council discussed during a recent session on its long-term priorities. City leaders said areas between E. Green and E. Kivett drives are full of boarded-up houses and are starved for investment.
They cited the example of the Macedonia neighborhood, which was in similar shape about 15 years ago, as how a turnaround might occur. In that case, the city used a federal grant to purchase vacant properties and partnered with a nonprofit homebuilder on a redevelopment initiative.
"Someone has got to set the tone. There's been no redevelopment. We just go in and pass orders to repair or demolish these properties, but we haven't come up with a concrete plan for what we're going to do," said Mayor Bernita Sims.
It's an issue the council has dealt with for years, and officials said the city needs to take a multi-faceted approach in the core city.
"Fixing the core — there's not a magic bullet for that," said Councilman Jay Wagner. "Your never going to get Washington Street turned around unless you address what's going on in the neighborhoods around it. You have to take a holistic approach or you're just spinning your wheels."
The council discussed what types of industry sectors that could be encouraged through public investment or incentives. There doesn't appear to be a move toward a major infusion of public dollars anywhere that is imminent.
"If we're looking to accomplish something, we're going to need private investment. There's only so much that our money and federal money can do," said Councilman Jason Ewing.
The council talked about revising the city's incentives policy to target smaller companies.
A committee two years ago looked into a retail incentives policy, but most of its recommendations were never implemented. The council approved a relatively small amount of money for facade grant small business projects in the core city.
"The city seems like its fishing for marlin all the time instead of catching things in the net that might grow to be marlin," said Wagner. "How do we create the environment of risk-taking and entrepreneurship?"
Wagner said cities like Asheville and Durham that have seen center-city revitalization were able to foster "cultures of creative entrepreneurship."
In the meantime, others said there are more pressing needs that warrant attention.
"There are parts of city, they need small businesses. They need dry cleaners. If all we look for are things that are going to bring in 100 jobs, we're not helping the total community. There are retail needs in certain parts of the city that aren't being addressed," said Councilwoman Judy Mendenhall.

As mentioned earlier, both the supply and demand sides must cooperate. Seeding of the US 2013-14 winter wheat crop is almost complete. The USDA does not release its first comprehensive winter wheat acreage estimate until January. Private forecasters estimate that US farmers will plant about 57 million acres of winter and spring wheat, roughly 1 million acres more than this past season.
The first problem is that the season got off to a weak start. The most recent crop progress report shows that only 39% of the crop is in the good-to-excellent category. That compares with 49% last year at this time and is the lowest early-season rating since the USDA began keeping these statistics in 1985. Of course, it's still very early, and weather in the actual post-winter growing season is far more important.
FSU crops should bounce back, but the Northern Hemisphere crops are not available for six or seven months, so they should not really be a huge factor in the near term. The focus now shifts to the Southern Hemisphere, and the outlook does not seem to support ideas that those crops can alleviate tightness.
Argentinean exports for the 2012-13 marketing year are estimated at 5.5 million tonnes, compared with last year's export sales, which reached 12.7 million tonnes. The key exporting nation has seen production fall into a precipitous decline. This year, excessive precipitation delayed the planting season. In 2010-11, output was 17.2 million tonnes, followed by 15.5 million tonnes in 2011-12. The October USDA crop report estimated this year's crop at 11.50 million tonnes, but a Nov. 1 USDA attaché report lowered the estimate further, to 10.8 million tonnes. Some private forecasts put the crop as low as 10 million tonnes.
Australia is a vital exporter to the Asian market and is following a pattern similar to Argentina. Last year it harvested a record 29.52-million-tonne crop, but output is expected to fall sharply to 23 million tonnes. Here, too, more up-to-date estimates put the crop at 21 million tonnes.
The Ukraine announced an export ban that would commence on Nov. 15, but then waffled and said the ban was under review. In any case, the market is tight, particularly for food-quality milling-grade wheat.
Prices could be contained if demand remains as sluggish as it's been. However, any return to normal consumption trends, which we believe is inevitable, leaves the market vulnerable to return to the dangerously low inventory levels we witnessed between 2006 and 2008.
December wheat closed below $8.50 per bushel twice in mid-October, which unfortunately triggered the stop on our long position. Reestablish long positions in March Chicago Board of Trade wheat, placing stops at $8.60, close only. Alternatively, buy March Kansas City Board of Trade wheat, placing initial stops at $9.00, close only.

Samsung sued by Ericsson over refusal to renew FRAND patents
Not only has Samsung failed to renew the agreement with Ericsson, it has also refused to allow Ericsson to license any of its FRAND patents in an attempt to get Ericsson to cut the price of its licensing terms. The Swedish firm pointed out how Samsung in court said that all companies using a standard in its products need to agree to FRAND licensing terms, but once it is in this position itself with Ericsson, Samsung refuses to agree to terms. Eleven Ericsson patents are involved in the suit.
The smartphones involved in the battle with Ericsson include the Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung Galaxy S II, Samsung GALAXY Note, Samsung Galaxy S 4G and the Windows Phone based Samsung Focus and Samsung Focus S.
"Samsung has sold hundreds of millions of unlicensed cellular handsets, smartphones, tablet computers, and televisions since the expiration of its license, including its flagship Galaxy S III smartphone"
"At the trial of that matter in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Samsung asserted all companies implementing a standard in its products must seek out and accept a license on FRAND terms. Yet, when the tables are turned and Samsung finds itself in the position of being the prospective licensee, it now refuses to license Ericsson's standard-essential portfolio at FRAND rates."-Ericsson

good point - just get the money from APPLE and hand it over to Ericsson. Man, Samsung should just get the deal done, so that they concentrate on the issues with APPLE.

I think Samsung has made enough to pay Ericsson. Don't become what you hated most.

Samsung may just want to lose here. If Samsung lose, it can ask Apple to pay the same inflated FRAND rate. If it wins against Ericsson, then Apple will use this case as hypocrisy against Samsung.

samsung sued apple with the patents from ericsson? what a embarassing. pay it samsung, don't tell us you are big company if you unable to pay ericsson. even samsung infringed FRAND patent, what a embarassing

Why there is so many people that didin`t make the difference between SonyEricsson and Ericsson?
Ericsson is one of the leaders of phone industry as a whole, they choose to comeback to be just network equipment company and they are a leading one. Ericsson have on of the strongest patent portfolio in 2G, 3G, and 4G, and will become even stronger when LTE Advanced will be deployed as they are one of it`s inventors. Big part of theirs 2G patents are considered ESENTIAL, that`s why Samsung don`t have a chance in this case.
Did you ever ask yourselves why the hell Apple didn`t sue SonyEricsson or Sony 'till today...? Well the truth is, that Apple have to pay Ericsson before presenting iPhone to the world. ;) It`s called patents and Apple knows that very well, so cross-licensing working well for now, but how far after the split we shall see.
If that`s not enough Ericsson didn`t just make equipment, they inventing... just like Bluetooth a couple of years ago, at this year CES they presented the next step of comunication between devices when using your body as a connector for doing that.

Pakistani police are investigating a plot to kill the Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in a gun and suicide bomb attack at his house.
Authorities arrested a group of Islamic militants in connection to the case. Police said the attack was in its "final planning stages."
The seven men in custody confessed to receiving orders from Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a group associated with the Taliban.
The suspects are believed to have taken part in an attack last year on the offices of Pakistan's main spy agency in Multan.
Officials said the men were also conspiring to kill Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and the minister for religious affairs.

Joba's Velocity Higher In 2008
This entry was posted in Editorial and tagged Joba Chamberlain. Bookmark the permalink.
3 Responses to Joba's Velocity Higher In 2008
Thanks for the extra effort and looking this up. My buddy and I had a feeling he was throwing slower after he got hurt and this proves it. With regards to '09 his relief stint was to short to take anything meaningful from it. It's clear his shoulder wasn't "right" in '09. The question is will he ever regain his '07/'08 velocity? This and having wiped away the innings limit will go along way in determining if he will excel as a starter.
A bit difficult to read, but an interesting article.
You might be able to get more insight if you look at his walks or ball/strike ratio. Often an injury shows up in a loss of command rather than or in addition to a loss of velocity.
I think that his shoulder isn't right. I can say from personal experience with shoulder tendonitis that a lot can be done to improve things with a strict regimen of physical exercise, but, from the looks of Joba's physique,he doesn't seem to be too familiar with the weight room.
Hey sorry about the difficulty. Something happens when I copy and paste from Word and I didn't double check it until now. Should be good to go.

Big Willie Robinson's "Duke and Duchess" Daytona rides again
The Duke and Duchess Daytona, now fully restored. Photos courtesy Corey Owens.
When auto restorer and Mopar specialist Corey Owens acquired the 1969 Dodge Daytona once owned by legendary street racer Big Willie Robinson, the car was a sun-bleached, rust-eaten shell of its former self. Now, roughly $30,000 in parts and 1,900 man-hours later, Robinson's Duke and Duchess Daytona has been restored to its former glory, a fitting tribute to the larger-than-life character that founded the International Brotherhood of Street Racers and once piloted the Daytona to quarter-mile glory.
Robinson was a well-known figure in the Southern California drag racing scene, and his time spent with the Special Forces in Vietnam gave him leadership qualities that would help preserve the peace during the racially-charged days of the late 1960s. Using racing as an avenue to vent frustration made sense to Robinson, and his efforts to take racing off the street and onto the track led to the creation of Brotherhood Raceway Park on Terminal Island in Long Beach, California. Robinson was a Mopar guy, and the car most closely associated with him was a red 1969 Dodge Daytona; his wife Tomiko, also a drag racer, ran a green 1969 Dodge Daytona.
Drag racing is notoriously hard on equipment, and one too many dips in the acid tank eventually weakened the body of Robinson's red Daytona. Tomiko's green Daytona was totaled in a racing accident, so at one point in his career, Robinson turned to a third Daytona car for his trips through the quarter mile. Said to have come from his brother, who could no longer afford the car, this Daytona had started life painted R4 Charger Red, but Robinson had it sprayed in a cream color before lettering it up as the Duke and Duchess Daytona, a nod to the respect he had for his wife. Its doors carried the lettering of Street Racers Inc., National and International Brotherhood, an organization that Robinson saw as transcending cultural barriers.
That's where the story gets a bit hazy. When Mopar collector Gary French purchased the car from Robinson, it was Big Willie himself who said the car had never been raced, but subsequent inspection revealed otherwise. Not only were the rear wheel wells radiused to allow the fitment of oversize drag slicks, but the floor pan above the pinion snubber had been punched upward and later reinforced with a 3/8-inch steel plate, proof positive of hard dragstrip launches. Some said that the Duke and Duchess car had been used as a tow vehicle, but there was no evidence of a hitch having ever been mounted to the car.
French eventually sold the car to entrepreneur and clothing designer Donwan Harrell, who intended to restore the car to its in-period, as-raced condition. Needing money to launch a new clothing line, Harrell sold the car to Owens, who posted it for sale on his website with an asking price of $250,000, a reflection of the car's historical significance, if not its worn condition. When he received no offers (though in fairness, his marketing attempts weren't all that serious), Owens was faced with the difficult decision of whether to preserve the car or restore it to as-raced condition. A teardown of the Daytona made the decision for him; preserving the car still meant replacing the sheetmetal surrounding the rear window, along with the dangerously thin fiberglass hood. The thin fiberglass rear deck lid would also need to be recreated, and as the project evolved, Owens realized that a restoration would be the best way to save the car for posterity.
Nine months later, in May 2014, the car was completed in time for its public debut at Midwest Mopars in the Park, held at the Dakota County Fairgrounds in Farmington, Minnesota. The color mismatch in the engine bay was deliberate because that's how Robinson had the car painted to save money. As a competition car, it only had to look good from a distance, and money spent painting the inner fenders and firewall was money that wasn't spent on making the car go faster. Aside from that period-correct detail, the rest of the car was as obsessively correct as Owens could make it, down to the gray primer and cosmoline used on the car's undercarriage. The seats and steering wheel were original to the car, though Owens preserved the skinny steering wheel and later-model seats installed in the car when he took possession. Even the car's 440-cu.in. Magnum V-8 and TorqueFlite transmission were original to the car, through Owens admits to dropping in a mild camshaft to boost performance during the engine's rebuild. He gave thought to leaving the car with an open exhaust, but doing so would have made the car essentially undriveable on the street, and Owens said he doesn't see the car as a trailer queen.
Critics will point out that the car is neither as delivered nor as raced, and Owens readily admits the car was restored as a "day two" race car. Restoring it to "as delivered," or "day one" form would erase much of the car's historical significance, while returning it to "as raced" form is virtually impossible. Only Big Willie Robinson knew what engine and transmission were in the car, and although Owens has had correspondence with a man who claims to own the car's original Keith Black Hemi V-8, there's virtually no way to prove the engine was the one installed in the car.
Owens plans to show the car at upcoming Mopar events, including The Mopar Nationals at National Trail Raceway in Columbus, Ohio, and the 45th Aero Warrior Reunion at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama. He'd like to make it to the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals as well, but Owens admits that's a lot of shows to attend and a lot of miles to travel. When asked if the car was again for sale, Owens was realistic; he'd rather not part with it, but 1,900 man hours and $30,000 worth of parts is a lot for a relatively small shop to absorb. While he's not actively pursuing the car's sale, if the right offer came along, the businessman in Owens would likely overrule the collector in Owens.
One likely buyer is Donwan Harrell, the car's former owner, who's already reached out to Owens in regards to repurchasing the car. An avid car guy with an affinity for Mopars, Harrell would certainly honor the car and the memory of the man that built it, perhaps easing the pain of a sale in Owens's mind.
Restoration begins on Big Willie Robinson's last remaining Charger Daytona
Big Willie Robinson's Daytona, as it looked when acquired by Corey Owens. All photos courtesy Corey Owens.
Big Willie Robinson was a larger-than-life figure in the southern California drag racing scene of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Best known as the founder of the International Brotherhood of Street Racers, Robinson and his wife, Tomiko, campaigned a pair of his-and-hers 1969 Dodge Charger Daytonas known as the King Daytona and Queen Daytona. At some point in the early 1970s, a third Daytona joined the stable, and it soon became known as the Duke and Duchess car. After a journey that's taken this car from one end of the country to the other, a body shop in Minnesota has begun the restoration of the last surviving Big Willie Robinson Daytona.
Though the history of the King and Queen Daytonas is fairly well documented, less is known about the Duke and Duchess car. Some have speculated that this car was used as a tow vehicle, but little photographic evidence (aside from an image of the car with a trailer hitch) exists to document this. It's believed that the car was used for promotional appearances, but it was never featured in any advertising centered around Big Willie Robinson. There's conclusive proof that the car was raced (including a cut in the firewall to accommodate the Clutchflite transmission, and a steel plate welded to the pinion snubber area, which had been dented from hard launches), but Robinson oddly denied this when the car was sold to Kentucky collector Gary French. In any event, the car's competition days likely didn't begin until after the demise of the King and Queen Daytonas.
The original 440-cu.in. V-8 engine.
As French relates, the King Daytona (originally orange) and the Queen Daytona (originally green) were both out of commission by April of 1973. The King Daytona's acid-dipped body had grown too fragile for the kind of punishment dished out by a Keith Black-built racing Hemi V-8, and the Queen Daytona was reportedly damaged beyond repair in a racing crash. Common belief is that the King Daytona had been given to Robinson by Chrysler, while the Queen Daytona was sold at an "insider price" when a potential (but unnamed) celebrity owner backed out of a purchase deal. How or when Robinson acquired the third Daytona (which was sold new by Cherry Hill Dodge in Cherry Hill, New Jersey) remains a bit of a mystery, but current owner Corey Owens believes that Robinson bought it to help his brother out of a financial jam.
As delivered, this Daytona was sprayed in R4 red and equipped with a 440-cu.in. V-8, a four-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. Under Big Willie's ownership, cream paint topped the red (except in the trunk and engine compartment, making it a functional "10 foot" racing paint job) and the car was lettered with the same Brotherhood of Street Racers door logo worn by the other Daytonas. As expected, sponsor decals covered the car's flanks, and once the Queen Daytona was wrecked, this car received the hand-laid fiberglass hood that had appeared on the King Daytona in the movie Two-Lane Blacktop. Eyewitness reports from 1974-1978 seem to back up the belief that this Duke & Duchess Daytona was raced with a Keith Black Hemi, likely pulled from either the King or Queen car.
At some point in the late 1970s, even the Duke and Duchess car was retired from racing, leaving Robinson to run his heavily modified Plymouth Barracuda (which itself was largely built from a collection of cast-off Daytona parts). Forgotten, the Daytona was parked in Robinson's backyard, its Keith Black Hemi pulled for another project. The original numbers-matching drivetrain was reinstalled in 1979, and after a few decades in the California sun, Robinson made the decision to part with the car in order to raise money for permits necessary to reopen Brotherhood Raceway. Mopar collector Gary French, who'd previously asked to buy the Duke and Duchess Daytona, received a call from Robinson himself. A deal was inked, and somewhere around 2002, French took delivery of the car in California.
The restoration in process.
French took the car back to Kentucky with him and showed it at various Mopar events over the next four years. He then sold the Daytona in 2006, when it was acquired by jeans designer and car collector Donwan Harrell. Plans to restore the car never came to fruition, and in 2010 Harrell sold the car to its current owner, Corey Owens of Ogilvie Collision in Ogilvie, Minnesota. Though Owens has offered the Daytona for sale on the shop's web page, Owens said it's only for sale if someone is willing to pay the right amount of money for it and that he would be content to remain the car's curator, which is why he's in the process of restoring it to its former glory.
As Owens explained, the car is "unusable" in its current state, and he admits to wrestling with the "preserve or restore" argument. The decision for restoration was made largely by the car's current condition, which Owens deemed too far gone for mere preservation. The plan is to recreate the car as it was in the mid-1970s, using its original numbers-matching drivetrain instead of the Keith Black Hemi. Though Owens has been in contact with the current owner of the massive aluminum-block racing engine, Owens said the seller wanted too much money to make its acquisition a viable proposition.
Owens said he plans to replicate the car's original functional paint job, too, so look for red paint to show through the car's cream finish overspray in the trunk and engine bay. The original fiberglass hood is now too fragile to use, so Owens recreated the piece from the steel hood of a 1970 Charger. One door was rusted beyond reasonable repair, so Owens replaced it with another from a 1969 Charger; he said he plans to preserve both pieces for display because of their historical significance. If all goes as planned, Owens will finish the car this winter, meaning it will debut on the show circuit in 2014.
The Daytona as it currently sits, awaiting paint.
Racing Heroes – Big Willie Robinson

In motorsports, physical size is often seen as a disadvantage, as the days of fat drivers and skinny tires are now but a memory of the distant past. Whether it's road racing, oval track racing or drag racing, physics favors drivers who are smaller and lighter, (generally) allowing their cars to accelerate quicker, corner with more speed and stop in a shorter distance. Big Willie Robinson, at six-feet, six-inches tall and 300-plus pounds, may have been at a distinct disadvantage in the quarter mile, yet he found a way to use size to his benefit; his commanding presence allowed him to bring a degree of order to the streets of Los Angeles, improving racial discord at a time when such a thing seemed impossible.
Born in New Orleans in 1942, Willie Robinson III learned at an early age that rules in the South were different depending upon the color of your skin. He attended Louisiana State University, but wasn't allowed to play football on its yet-to-be-integrated team. Believing that California held more promise, Robinson traveled west, transferring briefly to UCLA before his parents separated and his money ran out. Forced to take a job to support himself, Robinson found work in a body shop and soon acquired a 1957 Oldsmobile. With it came something else: a passion for street racing that would eventually come to define Big Willie Robinson.
Drafted by the Army in 1964, Robinson served time in the Special Forces during his tour in Vietnam. The Los Angeles he returned to in 1966 was a changed city, having just gone through the Watts riots of 1965, but the illicit street racing scene was as popular as ever. Robinson wasted no time in returning to his old ways, quickly reestablishing his credibility as a fierce competitor, but earning a new reputation as community organizer in the process.
It's unclear whether it was Robinson's physical presence, his knowledge of racing and engines or perhaps the leadership skills he acquired in the Special Forces, but Robinson soon earned the respect and admiration of those he raced against. Skin color in Robinson's world was irrelevant; what mattered most was how well you prepared your car, and how quick you were compared to other drivers on the street. It was this respect (and the trust of his peers) that soon earned Robinson an unlikely ally: the Los Angeles Police Department.
At the close of the 1960s, street racing and racial tension were just two of the problems facing the LAPD. Big Willie (a nickname given to Robinson by a Los Angeles Times reporter) was seen by police as a way to address (but not resolve) both issues in a somewhat controlled manner. An odd alliance was formed, with the LAPD agreeing to allow controlled street racing run by Robinson's L.A. County Street Racers organization, the forerunner of what would become the International Brotherhood of Street Racers.
Willie and Tomiko's Dodge Charger Daytonas.
Beginning in 1968, Robinson's group ran weekend races, blocking off designated streets in South Central Los Angeles with the LAPD's approval, controlling the crowds and even arranging for paramedics to be on hand. The first night drew a crowd of some 10,000 participants and spectators, but the following night saw the crowd double in size. At the same time, the LAPD reportedly logged a corresponding drop in street crime, giving substance to the theory that racing could be used as a form of crime prevention.
No one saw all-night street races as a long-term solution to the problem, so Robinson worked to get racing off the street and into a more controlled environment. In 1974, his Brotherhood Raceway Park opened on Terminal Island in Long Beach, giving racers a safe and controlled environment to compete in. Terminal Island offered significant advantages over street racing: As a former military airfield, there was plenty of runway space to work with, upping the safety factor when things went wrong, and its commercial zoning meant that noise wouldn't end races at a set time. There were drawbacks, too: While the popularity of the sport and Robinson's affordable $10 entry fee ensured that the organization paid its $1,000 monthly rent to the Harbor Commission, the land was seen by many as "too valuable" to waste on a public-access drag strip. Almost from the start, Robinson faced challenges to his Brotherhood Raceway Park, which closed and re-opened numerous times from 1974-1984.
Under the leadership of Big Willie Robinson and the International Brotherhood of Street Racers, Brotherhood Raceway Park was open to all who could afford the price of admission and pass a minimal safety inspection that would likely make the NHRA cringe. Robinson and his wife, Tomiko, were a fixture at the track, often campaigning their his-and-hers Dodge Charger Daytonas, each equipped with a Keith Black racing engine. Brotherhood wasn't just used as a catch phrase, either, and Robinson truly believed that racing could unite all, regardless of skin color, beliefs or income. Many credit Robinson's efforts to bring drag racing to all with creating, or at least helping to create, the modern import drag racing scene, which was shunned by many other venues in the early 1980s.
Robinson was able to open Brotherhood Raceway Park again in 1993, but by 1995 it closed to the public for good, a victim of container shipping and global trade. Big Willie never gave up the fight, racing wherever and whenever he could to gain exposure for his cause. His wife, Tomiko (who also served as his assistant and secretary in the International Brotherhood of Street Racers), died in 2007, and those close to Robinson traced his declining health to her death. After years of battling cardiovascular disease that would first claim both legs, Big Willie Robinson died on May 19, 2012.
Robinson's ideals of brotherhood through racing are as relevant today as they ever were. In a 1981 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Robinson said, "When you get around cars, man, there ain't no colors, just engines." Perhaps if more people understood this simple truth, the world would have fewer problems.
Big Willie Robinson, street racing legend, dies
Photo courtesy International Brotherhood of Street Racers
We'd known for a while that Big Willie Robinson was sick. It really started when his bride, Tomiko, died in 2010, you could say. Willie had had a pacemaker installed, but vascular disease had cost him both his legs. Physicians still couldn't save him. We learned from the International Brotherhood of Street Racers, the group of drag enthusiasts that Willie and Tomiko founded, that Willie died over the past weekend.
Big Willie, who one account said was 70, was outsized in every respect. He was born in New Orleans and served in Vietnam as a member of the U.S. Army's Special Forces. Willie was a giant, towering at 6 foot 5, with tremendous arms accentuated by his biker-style leather cutoffs. Returning from war, he settled in Los Angeles just after the devastating Watts riots of 1965. Already a notorious South Central street racer, Big Willie decided that getting youth of all ethnicities into organized racing would keep them safe from gang violence on the streets.
In hindsight, we think we can say that history will vindicate Big Willie as a visionary, even though the simple drag strip at Terminal Island he fought so long to open was forced to close in 1995. It was an Ellis Island of car craziness set amid the giant Los Angeles port complex. People of all backgrounds and all car cultures, from nostalgia Super Stock types to tallboy-hopping lowriders, had a home at Terminal Island. Big Willie and Tomiko kept watch over everything in a matching pair of Keith Black-powered Dodge Daytona Chargers. The Robinsons were a loving couple who will be missed.
Four-Links – Mohs resto begins, Italian electrics, Big Willie, death to all jalopies
* Close to a year ago, we relayed the news that the Mohs Ostentatienne would go through a restoration, and as Jay Abitz reports to Auto Restoration 101 (part 1, part 2), said resto has now begun.
* Coachbuild.com has an interesting article about the contributions of Italian coachbuilders (and AMC!) toward the idea of a small, urban electric car, including the Michelotti Leyland Crompton, above, based on a shortened Mini chassis.
* Do we need the excuse of Black History Month to see white people posting stories on black drag racers like Big Willie Robinson and Malcolm Durham? Iowahawk has an article on the former. For more, Drag Racing Online's got you covered.
UPDATE (15.February 2010): Looks like zeLastChanceGarage found a later photo of Tomiko's Daytona.
* H.A.M.B.er Harms Way recently dug up a series of photos from Life's photo archive depicting the Detroit-area Chevrolet dealers' campaign to clear the road of old cars (why? so they can sell more new cars, of course) by pulling already-junked old cars from scrapyards and burning them in a giant bonfire. The cash for clunkers parallels are painfully obvious.

March 31, 2011—Health ministers, United Nations and development agencies, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), people living with tuberculosis (TB), doctors, and scientists on the global Stop TB Partnership's Coordinating Board meet this week in Washington, D.C., to review progress on a historic commitment they made a decade ago to 'eliminate tuberculosis as a global public health problem.'
The Stop TB Partnership, a network of international organizations, countries, and donors, was established in 2001, with the World Bank as one of its founding partners. As Board members meet today, a new report from U.N. Secretary Ban Ki-moon, released in Nairobi, Kenya, amplifies concerns about TB's fatal twinning with HIV/AIDS and gives notice that the disease is far from vanquished.
A highly-contagious, airborne pathogenic bacterium, TB is one of the leading causes of death among women between 15-44 years of age. In 2009 alone, 1.7 million people died from TB-related illness, including 380,000 people with HIV―despite the fact that the disease is both preventable and curable.
In many African countries, people living with AIDS frequently succumb to TB as a final, deadly opportunistic infection, making AIDS and TB a particularly dangerous co-epidemic. In 2010, multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) rates were reported to be at their highest levels ever. Extensively drug-resistant TB cases were reported in 58 countries.
Signs of Progress
The short-term goal of the Stop TB movement is to help countries meet the 2015 Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 6 pledge of halting and beginning to reverse TB incidence by 2015, in comparison with 1990 levels. In fact, many countries report that they are on track to meet this goal. Globally, the percentage of people successfully treated for TB has reached its highest level, at 86%, and of the 22 countries worldwide with the highest TB burden, 13 of them are on closing in on their MDG 6 TB targets.
There are signs of progress in both developing new drugs to treat TB and in detecting the disease.
The 2010 Report on Tuberculosis Research Funding Trends, 2005–2009, issued by the Stop TB Partnership and the Treatment Action Group, reported that in 2010, at least four novel classes of drugs are in clinical trials to treat TB, and there is unprecedented interest in accelerating the development of novel TB combination regimens using regulatory science. As recently as 2005, no new class of drugs to treat TB had been approved since the 1970s.
In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency have provided new guidance that may facilitate the approval of one or two new TB drugs in the coming 12 to 18 months. Also on the horizon are a set of novel candidate TB vaccines, some of which may be ready for large-scale field trials in the coming five years.
On the detection front, a technology breakthrough for Africa came last week on World TB Day when South Africa's Health Minister, Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, unveiled the continent's first GeneXpert device at Durban's Prince Mshiyeni Memorial Hospital. The GeneXpert can detect TB and multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) in two hours, a remarkable feat given the usual 3-12 weeks it currently takes to " culture TB", the currently used method to detect MDR-TB.
Africa's TB-HIV Challenge
In East Africa, which is assailed by high rates of co-infection of TB and HIV, the World Bank is helping four countries—Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda—establish a regional network of public laboratories to improve access to high-quality diagnostic services among vulnerable populations living in the cross-border areas of all four countries.
The $63.7 million project—launched in May 2010 with support from U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease—helps laboratories produce accurate and rapid diagnostic results that are not only vital to detecting TB, but will also increase the chances of survival among patients suffering from cholera, meningitis, and Rift Valley fever. Historically, laboratories have been a weak link in sub-Saharan African health systems, hindering governments' ability to confirm and respond in a coordinated way to outbreaks of disease.
India's Treatment Rates Soar
The Bank's anti-TB efforts have also helped India, which carries 20% of the world's TB burden. Since the Bank began supporting India TB control, treatment success rates have tripled from 25% to 86%. TB death rates have decreased seven-fold from 29% to 4%; about 1.7 million additional lives have been saved.
Currently, Bank zero-interest financing is being used to buy drugs, expand laboratory capacity, and train community health workers. Seven million people have been screened for TB, and 780,000 have been successfully treated.
Fight Goes On
Even with welcome progress in recent years, the fight goes on. As U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned last week on World TB Day, without additional funding in the battle against TB for research, improved prevention, early diagnosis and treatment, some 8 million people will die from what is largely a curable disease between now and 2015.

Helping the First Words
Ten tips for building your toddler's vocabulary
Every parent wants to give her toddler a head start in speaking and language skills – and experts suggest it's easier than most people think.
"You don't have to spend a bundle on DVDs or flashcards," says speech-language pathologist Amy Nelson. "Language acquisition is birthed through face-to-face interactions, and by engaging your child in everyday activities and experiences."
Here are 10 simple suggestions on how to build your toddler's vocabulary.
1. Associate through reading. "Create an interactive experience by making books come alive for your child," says Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, Ph.D., educator and three-time author. "When you are reading together, pick up on your child's interest; then, relate the content of the book to his life. If there's a picture of a dog, say, 'That's like Grandma's dog. Where else have you seen a dog?' So he links what he sees in the book to his own experiences."
2. Incorporate core vocabulary. "Choose books that have bright colors, simple pictures and short phrases or sentences that use core vocabulary – nouns such as animals, toys and food," says Nelson. "Give your child an opportunity to label and repeat words. Also use what speech-language pathologists call 'expansion.' If your child says, 'cat,' you say, 'big cat,' or 'sleeping cat' by adding an adjective or verb to increase his length of utterance."
3. Encourage repetition. "Children often have a favorite book they want to hear time and again, and that's OK," says Golinkoff. "Repeated readings build toddler's vocabulary and story structure understanding."
4. Visit venues. Take trips to venues that have programs specifically designed for children, Nelson notes. "Children's museums have a variety of exhibits, so toddlers can learn words about opposites such as 'wet' and 'dry,' 'big' and 'little,' 'up' and 'down.' If you go to other sites such as natural history or art museums, scale it down to your child's level." Focus on basic vocabulary and point out the animals, flowers, shapes and colors you see.
5. Out and about. "Everyday outings provide opportunities to talk about what you see at the supermarket, pharmacy, park and doctor's office," Golinkoff says. "When you take walks, point out different things and bring back leaves, rocks and sticks, so you and your child can count, sort and explore more. When he goes to the pediatrician for a well checkup, trace around his body on the table paper; then, take it home and help him label his body parts."
6. Sing songs. Interactive songs and rhymes that incorporate movement with melodic or rhythmic patterns are captivating for children and encourage vocabulary expansion. Songs like "Head and Shoulders" help them learn body part identification, and others such as "Eentsy Weentsy Spider" teach directional concepts.
7. Tinker with toys. "Blocks and simple puzzles offer geometric and spatial language with terms like 'above,' 'below' and 'next to,'" says Golinkoff. "Dress up clothes increase language, too. Give your child old clothes and play along with his fantasy."
Adds Nelson, "Your toddler may not be ready for board games, but you can use the game pieces as manipulatives. Put checkers into different piles according to colors and count them. Or adapt games such as Barnyard Bingo to work on matching, naming and counting."
8. Interactive games. Use interactive games, such as "This Little Piggy" and "Humpty Dumpty" to build vocabulary. Stop and leave off a word, so your child can fill it in. When you're driving in the car, play "I Spy" with colors to improve color recognition.
9. Narrate routines. Encouraging talk during your daily routines is a great way to expand your child's vocabulary. For instance, when you're dressing your child, say, "I'm putting on your pants … your shirt … your shoes." Soon your child will start to repeat those words.
10. Review and retell. "Before going to bed, rehash the day's activities to cement vocabulary your child used during the day," Golinkoff suggests. "Or encourage him to recount his experiences to another adult with your assistance."
I work with the public assisting clients daily. I have one client who is Hispanic and has a 4 year old who was a premi at birth. She would like to put her in a program with a Speech Pathologist can help her daughter develop her language. She lives in the Melvindale area, and the Head Start programs that offered help is closing. Any suggestions? This is a low income family in need to prepare a child for school.

What is Agility?
Agility is a fast-paced, fun sport that you and your dog can participate in together. You may choose to do agility just for the fun of it or you may decide to compete with your dog in one or all of several venues of agility competitions. Dogs and handlers compete for titles, placements and bragging rights. Three major players that sanction agility trials are
-American Kennel Club,
-North American Dog Agility Council and
-United States Dog Agility Association. Both purebred and mixed breed dogs are welcome to compete in all of these organizations.
Agility is a timed event where you and your dog travel an obstacle course that includes jumps and tunnels, climbing obstacles like the A-frame, Teeter-totter and Dog Walk, and a set of upright poles that the dog must weave in and out of. Dogs are judged on the accuracy of completing each obstacle and maintaining the proper course flow. In scoring, the most accurate dog with the fastest time wins the class. Each course is assessed a standard course time so dogs that are accurate but slow, may be assessed time faults that would be added to their score.
Can My Dog Do Agility?
There are several breeds of dogs that excel at the sport. Border Collies, Shelties, Labs, Goldens, Aussies and Jack Russell Terriers are a few of the breeds that dominate the sport. However, all dogs have the potential to succeed with the following criteria:
Your dog should be physically sound and at a good working weight. Dogs with physical problems such as hip/elbow displasia, shifting lameness or other physical ailments should not be doing agility. Weight-wise, your dog should be a lean, mean jumpin' machine……. extra layers of fat will inhibit your dogs performing ability and could put undue stress on joints and tissue. Agility is a physically demanding sport for your dog and they should be in good shape.
Sound temperament and good basic obedience skills are a must for the agility dog. Aggressive dogs are not permitted to train at
Dallas Dog Sports
. On the other hand, dogs that are shy or timid around strange people or dogs can benefit greatly from the agility training experience. It boosts their self-confidence and exposes them to new and different situations that they find out they CAN handle.
