The Headwaters Regional Development Commission plans to terminate its contract with the city of Bemidji regarding its work as the events center project coordinator. HRDC Executive Director Cliff Tweedale sent an e-mail stating his intentions to Mayor Richard Lehmann and City Manager John Chattin on Thursday. "Right now, my sentiment is that this project is best housed with the city," Tweedale said in a Friday interview. The City Council voted 6-1 on July 16 to hire the HRDC as the events center project coordinator. Councilor Roger Hellquist cast the dissenting vote.
Cliff Tweedale, the executive director of the Headwaters Regional Development Commission, said it is time for the Bemidji City Council to decide whether it truly wants to pursue the events center project. "Up to this point, everybody has been reasonably cautious, he said.
While there certainly is work that soon needs to be finished on the events center, Rep. Frank Moe said Thursday that officials involved in the planning process took their time considering the proposal. "We're not rushing the whole project," said Moe, DFL-Bemidji. "The project has been done thoughtfully and deliberately." The city of Bemidji and Bemidji State University must now sit down and come to an agreement on a potential lease, Moe said. Moe said he would like to have a signed lease agreement in hand by Dec.
Riley James Colley, 18, of Bemidji, pleaded guilty July 31 to an amended charge of fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct, a gross misdemeanor. Colley originally faced a serious felony charge of third-degree criminal sexual conduct by force or coercion. He was sentenced for the fifth-degree charge Monday by Judge Paul Benshoof in Beltrami County District Court. He was sentenced to one year in jail with 305 days stayed for two years and ordered to pay a $250 fine. Restitution was reserved.
The Bemidji City Council on Wednesday considered retaining Brian Schoenborn as a consultant on the events center. But about 10 minutes later, the council meeting was over. During the Schoenborn discussion, Councilor Roger Hellquist pointed out that the agenda for Wednesday's City Council work session was limited strictly to the conversation with Bemidji State University President Jon Quistgaard. Hellquist then made a motion to adjourn, Councilor Barb Meuers seconded the motion and the council voted unanimously to adjourn.
Bemidji State University President Jon Quistgaard on Wednesday was unable to present a signed lease, but he did agree to begin negotiations with the city. Quistgaard met with the Bemidji City Council during a work session Wednesday night to discuss the potential of having BSU hockey serve as the anchor tenant of the proposed events center.
The Greater Bemidji Area Joint Planning Board had requested that its three member entities contribute a total of $4,000 in seed money. But City Attorney Alan Felix recommended that the JPB's Joint Powers Agreement first be revised before any monetary contribution is made. The City Council discussed the JPB request during Monday's meeting. No action was taken. The JPB was formed to develop one set of zoning and subdivision ordinances for the city of Bemidji, Northern Township and Bemidji Township.
Marian Ridge, the Kitchigami Regional Library director, attended Monday's Bemidji City Council meeting to present KRL's 2008 budget - and to field questions from councilors. The city of Bemidji's library levy ($101,284) is 3 percent higher in 2008 than 2007.
Among notable action taken at the Bemidji City Council meeting Tuesday: Library budget Kitchigami Regional Library Director Marian Ridge presented the 2008 Bemidji Public Library budget, which includes a 3 percent increase for the city of Bemidji ($101,284) from 2007. Bemidji's automation repair and replacement commitment for 2008 is an additional $7,715. ACTION: No action necessary. Bemidji Avenue project The City Council considered adoption of a resolution approving the feasibility report concerning the reconstruction of Bemidji Avenue and setting a public hearing for 7 p.m.
Basics -- What is the proposal? The Bemidji City Council supports construction of a facility that would include an events center/hockey arena, a convention center and a second sheet of ice. The City Council supports three phases of construction, and is now only considering the first phase of the project, which is the $50 million events center/arena. -- Where would the events center/arena be located? The building would be located east of Irvine Avenue and south of Third Street adjacent to the railroad corridor. Parking would be constructed in four lots along the rail line.

Hillary Clinton hospitalized with blood clotBy MATTHEW LEE
The Associated Press | December 31,2012WASHINGTON Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has been admitted to a New York hospital after the discovery of a blood clot stemming from the concussion she sustained earlier this month.
Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines says her doctors discovered the clot during a follow-up exam Sunday. Reines says Clinton is being treated with anti-coagulants.
Clinton was admitted to New York-Presbyterian Hospital so doctors can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours.
Reines says doctors will continue to assess Clintons condition, including other issues associated with her concussion.MORE IN Wire NewsATLANTIC CITY, N.J.

The OECD engages with a large number of economies outside its membership, which it refers to as Partners. Many are actively involved in core OECD activities, for example as Participants or Associates in OECD Committees, Working Groups or Expert Groups. This is where they interact with representatives of each of the member countries, reviewing progress and discussing policy in specific areas.
The OECD has also identified five countries as "Key Partners": Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and South Africa. With these countries the OECD has comprehensive relations, encompassing the full range of its work programme. These Key Partners are invited to nearly all OECD Committees, are the subject of numerous policy reviews, and are covered in a broad range of the OECD's databases. These arrangements imply a political commitment and create a mechanism to develop joint priorities.
In parallel, programmes such as the MENA Initiative on Governance and Investment for Development in the Middle East and North African regions provide a basis for relations between the Organisation and other countries using a regional approach. These initiatives aim to strengthen countries' capacity to design and implement policy reforms, by means of policy dialogue and the sharing of experience among policy makers. The OECD works with African countries, e.g. within the framework of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD), and with countries in South East Europe through the Investment Compact for South East Europe.
In 2007 the OECD Council at Ministerial level opened membership discussions with five candidate countries, as a result of which Chile, Estonia, Israel and Slovenia became members in 2010, while discussions with the Russian Federation are still ongoing. In May 2013, the Council decided to launch a new wave of accession discussions with Colombia and Latvia. It also decided to review the situation in due course with a view to taking a decision to open accession discussions with Costa Rica and Lithuania in 2015.
As a first step, interested countries typically present a request to become OECD members. Once the OECD Council invites the Secretary-General to open discussions for accession with one or several countries, an "Accession Roadmap" is developed to detail the terms, conditions and process of each accession discussion. This roadmap lists the reviews to be undertaken by Committees in various policy areas in order to assess the country's position with respect to the relevant OECD instruments and to evaluate its policies and practices as compared to OECD best policies and practices in the relevant area. Each country follows its own process and is assessed independently.
At the end of the technical review, each Committee provides a "formal opinion" to the OECD Council. The timeline for the accession process depends on the pace at which the candidate country provides information to Committees and responds to recommendations for changes to its legislation, policy and practice.
On the basis of the formal opinions and other relevant information, the Council takes a final decision on the basis of unanimity. An Accession Agreement is then signed and the candidate country takes the necessary domestic steps and deposits an instrument of accession to the OECD Convention with the depositary, e.g. the French government. On the date of deposit, the country formally becomes a Member of the OECD.
The "Accession Roadmap" describes the terms, conditions and process of accession; lists the policy reviews to be undertaken by technical Committees, the criteria on which the candidate country is evaluated and sets out the various procedural steps.
What is the role of the Council in the accession process?
As the governing body of the OECD, bringing together representatives of each of the 34 member countries and of the European Commission, the Council ultimately controls all aspects of the accession process and takes the final decision on whether to extend an invitation to a country to become a member.
What is the role of the Committees?
The Committees, bringing together technical experts from all OECD countries, assess the candidate country's willingness and ability to implement OECD legal instruments and evaluate its policies and practices as compared to OECD best policies and practices. Committees may recommend changes to bring the candidate country's legislation, policy and/or practices into line with OECD instruments or to bring its policies closer to OECD best practices.

External Tailwinds Supporting Regional Underperformers
Core View
Central American outperformers Costa Rica and Panama are facing a more challenging road ahead in the coming years. As real GDP growth slows in Panama on the back of the end of canal construction, establishing fiscal discipline will be crucial. Should the country fail to rein in spending in an environment of lower growth, this would likely cool investor enthusiasm toward the country. Similarly, Costa Rica is also facing a challenging fiscal outlook - a situation which is only exacerbated by the fragmented political environment.
In contrast, our outlook for most of Central America's underperformers is brightening. Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador will benefit from stronger US demand for their manufactured goods, rising remittance inflows and lower oil prices in the quarters...

BMI View: The Central America region continues to struggle with disease outbreaks in the coffee sector, which decimated the 2013 crop. We believe that coffee production will remain at risk over the next few years as the nature of subsistence farming will limit investment into safeguards. Countries in Central America are generally dependent on corn imports and we expect the corn production deficit to widen over our forecast period. Strength in the US dollar over this time frame will hurt the capital accounts of the region's countries. We expect Central America to remain self-sufficient in sugar and even increase its potential for sugar exports. The sugar industry has potential to attract investment over the medium term.

BMI View: The economic trajectory for the region remains divergent. Despite our expectations for slower real GDP growth in Panama in the next several years, it will remain the regional outperformer. On the other hand, we have a more mixed outlook for growth in the 'northern triangle' countries. While they will likely benefit from improved agricultural yields and stronger US demand for manufactured goods, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are still vulnerable to significant structural macroeconomic weaknesses.

BMI View:
Moderate To Strong Freight Growth In 2015
2015 will see moderate to strong growth across the Central American freight industry. The positives will be a small acceleration in macro-economic growth and trade in most of the Central American economies, benefitting the dominant freight mode, road haulage, as well as boosting activity levels at some of the largest ports in the region. Air freight will see more modest growth, in the low single percentage digits. Despite some interesting efforts to rehabilitate some of the region's railways, it will take some years before any concrete results can be seen. In terms of industry news, the big headlines concern the expected increase in competition among ports when the widening of the Panama Canal is completed in 2016, and Nicaragua's extremely ambitious and enigmatic 'Grand Canal' project to compete with the Panama Canal. More immediately and pragmatically, we are tracking...

BMI View: We currently forecast an average of 2.3% real growth in Central America's construction industry value for 2015, which is considerably higher than our regional average estimate for 2014 at 0.4%. We expect Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua's construction industries to return to positive growth in 2015 while Panama's will contract, as the completion of the Canal expansion nears its end.
We see high risks, small scale and limited growth opportunities across the region as a whole. A crucial factor underpinning our forecasts for infrastructure investments in future years is political and security risk. This is a particular concern in El Salvador,...

BMI View: A growing ageing population, favourable tax incentives and high demand for medicines confirm Central America's ability to continue offering revenue-generating opportunities to foreign drugmakers.

Pharmaceuticals: USD3.7bn in 2014 to USD3.9bn in 2015; +5.6%. Our forecast has been revised upwards since Q115 due to historical data.

BMI View: Although the rise in number portability, with four out of eight countries having implemented or in the process of implementing a form of number porting, should encourage an increase in competition, BMI believes that it would be challenging for newcomers like Xinwei to penetrate the market. Mobile forecasts show much slower growth across the board, with only Nicaragua offering any real growth potential. Increasing government interference, as is the case of Guatemala, is a worrying new development.

2015 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance reaffirms its status as one of the world's great car shows
The many race cars that Stirling Moss drove in competition. Photos by the author.
No matter who you talk to, be they the cars' owners or spectators, collectors or journalists, the Amelia Island Concours ranks among everyone's favorite automotive events in the country. And we couldn't agree more.
1960 Pontiac Bonneville Sports Coupe.
This is truly a spectacular car show. It took founder Bill Warner two decades to make this once-regional concours into a world-class event, and he has succeeded beyond everyone's—and we bet his own, too—wildest imagination.
Special display of 914/6 Porsches.
What makes the Amelia Island Concours so special, so unique, is the variety of cars that make up the huge show field. From ultra-rare one-off prototypes to cars that were once produced on a mass scale, to limited-production sports cars, Classic cars, historic race cars and finely crafted hot rods of distinction, the scope of this event will simply amaze you. Without question, this is one car show that you really must attend at least once in your lifetime.
1959 Lancia Flaminia Zagato.
In the gallery below, you'll find a sampling of some of the very special cars that were on display in 2015. Look for more comprehensive coverage coming your way via the pages of our magazines.
Tech 101: Automatic transmission fluid, part one—American manufacturers
Cutaway view of ZF automatic transmission. Photo by Ben Jeffrey.
Just as vehicle manufacturer recommendations for engine oil are changing at an ever-increasing pace, so are requirements for the ever-widening range of automatic transmission fluids. With the advent of overdrive transmissions and four-, five-, six- or more speed units being employed in today's cars, it is important to use the correct fluid, changed at recommended intervals, to ensure that your transmission will last as long as your engine and that your vehicle's drivetrain warranty remains in effect.
Now that 10W30 and 10W40 engine oils are considered antiquated by most standards, ATF basic fluids such as Dexron and Ford Type F are also falling by the wayside as the old standbys. Many manufacturers are still producing their own transmissions, but they are getting their assembled transmissions from other sources for certain models and engine sizes. This means that there is not one standard fluid for GM, or Ford, or Chrysler any longer. Imported car automatics can produce even more problems, because of their requirements for both viscosity and oxidation inhibitors.
When automatic transmissions first appeared in standard production models in the early 1950s, they used common engine or gear oil. As the transmissions themselves were refined, they began using Type A fluid in the late 1950s. Type A evolved into Type A Suffix A, and then into Dexron; however, each of these iterations relied on a sperm whale oil additive to act as a friction modifier, at least until the use of whale oil was outlawed in the early 1970s.
Dexron II became the original-equipment transmission oil in 1972, but the manufacturer encountered problems with corrosion to the solder joints in the transmission oil cooler and added a corrosion inhibitor in 1975; the new fluid was called Dexron II-D. This was later reformulated to Dexron II-E when another additive was included to reduce water absorption. All GM vehicles used Dexron II-E, and it supersedes any previous recommendations for Type A, Type A Suffix A and any of the previous Dexron requirements.
Dexron III became the new GM standard in 1993, and was used in all cars and light trucks (except Saturn) until 2006. It was obsoleted in favor of Dexron III-H. Also in 2006, GM first introduced Dexron VI, which is a synthetic blend-based fluid and was used in all six-speed transmissions but can be retrofitted to any previous fluid specifications and can be mixed with the older mineral-based fluids.
Dexron VI is also found in BMWs that came with the GM six-speed transmissions. It is not recommended for Pontiac Vibe, Chevrolet Aveo or Saturn Ion transmissions, as these were not produced by General Motors. Neither is it recommended for any cars equipped with continuously variable transmissions, commonly known as CVTs.
Ford first produced its own transmission fluid formulation in 1967, referred to as Type F or Type FA. The name comes from Ford's specification number for the fluid, ESW M2C33-F. This fluid was used in all Ford transmissions until 1977 and most Ford transmissions until 1980.
The development of the C5 transmission in 1981 brought a new specification called Type H, named after the specification ESP M2C166-H. About the same time, Ford C6 transmissions upgraded to a new formulation, ESW M2C138-CJ or Type CJ. These transmissions cannot use Type F/FA; however, Dexron II could be substituted. Type H eventually was reformulated and received anti-shudder additives. It was then renamed Mercon, and it was an acceptable retrofit for both Type H and Type CJ and became the new Ford standard fluid from 1987-2007.
Mercon V was introduced in 2008 and supersedes any requirements for H, CJ or Mercon. It does not replace Type F or Type FA, but is often marketed in retail establishments now as Dexron III/Mercon V and takes the place of any previous non-Type F/FA requirements.
Mercon SP was prevalent in 2005-2007 six-speed automatics and has additional additives over Mercon V. SP can be substituted in any Mercon V recommendation. Ford also produced its own Mercon CVT fluid from 2005-2007; however, all aftermarket CVT-specific fluids meet the Ford requirement, no matter who the manufacturer.
The year 2008 saw the release of Mercon LV, a synthetic-based fluid that is not compatible with any previous Mercon specifications. Transmissions requiring LV include the rear-wheel-drive Ford 5R110 Torque Shift and 4R75/WE transmissions, as well as the front-wheel-drive 4F27E, AW ECVT, 6F50/55N and the 6F35N.
Early Chrysler transmissions also used Type A fluid until the introduction of Dexron, and continued to use Dexron II and III in rear-wheel-drive transmissions until 1997. AMC also used the Chrysler TorqueFlite (Torque Command) transmissions throughout the 1960s and 1970s, so AMC's fluid requirements were the same as the early Chryslers.
In 1997, ATF+2 was introduced with additional additives for three-speed automatics and ATF+3 was released for four-speed automatics. By 1998, both were gone in favor of the new synthetic-based ATF+4. This synthetic fluid can be retrofitted into any previous Chrysler transmission, but it cannot be mixed with Dexron or Mercon fluids; a complete change would be necessary, including a system flush and draining of the torque converter.
ATF+4 was used in all 1998 and newer Chryslers, except minivans with the 41TE/AE transmissions until 2002, when Chrysler ATF+5 synthetic fluid was released.
You can see how confusing it gets. We just mentioned 21 different fluids for American cars alone. There are at least a dozen additional specifications for European and Japanese vehicles, which we will discuss next week. Meanwhile, we strongly recommend that you check your transmission dipstick or the vehicle owner's manual to see which of these 21 specifications your car requires. Check with your local dealership's service department, if you have to, and do not stray from their recommendation, or its acceptable equivalent, to be sure your automatic transmission is operating at peak efficiency and receiving the proper lubrication and additive protection needed to extend its life.
1930 Cord L-29, customized by Brooks Stevens, takes Best of Show at Amelia Island

Brook Stevens's path to automotive design fame began with a 1930 Cord L-29, his own car, purchased with the assistance of his father, which he customized to resemble Speedster models from family brands Auburn and Duesenberg. Stevens so loved the Cord that he kept the car for more than 60 years, up until his death in 1995. On Sunday, his Cord L-29 Speedster, now owned by Ed Schoenthaler of Oak Brook, Illinois, took Best of Show, Concours d'Elegance, at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
Stevens's love for the L-29 was said to go back to his teenage years, when he first encountered the front-wheel-drive Cord at a wedding. In 1932, his father would help the architecture student purchase a two-year-old Cord L-29 cabriolet, which Stevens soon began to modify, perhaps as a showcase for his design talents.
To give the L-29 a sleeker shape, the cowl was cut down, the body was narrowed and a V-shaped windshield with a pronounced rake was added. Behind the cabin, the rumble seat was replaced with smooth sheetmetal, and a vertical dorsal fin added. Sidemounts were removed and filled in, and front fenders were partially enclosed to enhance the car's aerodynamic appearance. Hood louvers were replaced with mesh screening for better ventilation and enhanced cooling, low-profile "Woodlite" headlamps were added, and as a finishing touch, Stevens had the car finished in a two-tone livery and capped his creation with a radiator mascot of his own design.
As Stevens intended to run the car in hillclimbs and other motorsport events, performance was marginally enhanced as well. The car retained its Lycoming-built, 298.6-cu.in. inline eight-cylinder engine, but Stevens reportedly added an intake manifold with dual carburetors and a lower-restriction exhaust manifold to boost output above the stock 125 horsepower.
Stevens would go on to a lengthy career in both automotive and industrial design, with highlights that included the Jeep Wagoneer, the Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk, the 1949 Harley-Davidson Hydra-Glide, the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile, the Miller Brewing logo and the Skytop Lounge railroad observation cars. Despite his later successes, he never parted ways with his beloved Cord, which remained part of his collection for the remainder of his life.

Also taking top honors at Amelia Island, in the Concours de Sport category, was a 1932 Alfa Romeo 8c 2300 Zagato Spider, owned by David Sydorick of Beverly Hills, California. Look for detailed show coverage in upcoming issues of Hemmings Classic Car, Hemmings Motor News and Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car.
From the Archives: 1938 Talbot-Lago
When one thinks of extravagant French design from the 1930s, no doubt the Talbot-Lago comes to mind. Certainly an exceptional design that emerged in the car industry from the tumultuous times of the 1930s, this 1938 teardrop appears to be a T23. This car, then for sale in Atlanta, Georgia, was advertised in the August 1977 issue of Hemmings Motor News.
From the description: "One of the world's great classics. Extremely exotic. One-off coachwork by Figoni et Falaschi. Rare sun roof. Beautiful restoration by famed coachbuilders Henri Chapron. $40,000."
This Talbot-Lago had journeyed quite a ways by 1977, but its trip had only just begun. It appears the car wound up at RM Auctions in 2010 and again in 2012, then selling for a whopping $2,640,000. Assuming the information is accurate and the 199 ADY 75 registration wasn't a forgery, this car is one of five Jeancart-style cars built. Restorative efforts managed to save 80 percent of the original woodwork in the car's substructure and 90 percent of the original metalwork. As it appeared in Hemmings, the car was lacking the original bumpers, and its taillamps were seated flush in the rear fenders. The $40,000 asking price of 1977 would equate to over $154,000 today.
So where are all the remaining "Back to the Future" DeLoreans?

As mentioned in our recent story about the restoration of the Back to the Future A car, film crews used seven different vehicles over the course of all three films. The "hero" car is now ensconced in a clear display case in Universal's theme park, but what happened to all the rest of them?
Fortunately, Joe Walser gave us the rundown. All seven are accounted for – none have gone missing over the last 30 years – though only four remain. Of the three built for the first movie, the aforementioned A car has never left Universal's possession. The B car – used for most of the driving scenes and fitted with flamespitters near the wheels of the car – was destroyed during the filming for Back to the Future Part III; and the C car – a cutaway car used for filming interior scenes – still remains in Universal's possession, though not as an entire car (more on that in a minute).
While the A and B cars were brought out of storage for the second and third movies (which were filmed back-to-back), Universal ended up building another for Part II and three more for Part III. The fiberglass mockup built for Part II – intended to be hung from a crane for the flying car scenes – was destroyed by Universal after filming. And for Part III, Universal built the so-called "Oxnard car," fitted with train wheels for use in the rail scenes, along with two DeLoreans on sand rail chassis and with Volkswagen engines and transaxles for the off-road driving scenes. The Oxnard car remains in Universal's possession and on display at Universal Studios Florida. One of the off-roader cars sold at auction in December 2011 for $440,000 ($541,200 including commission), making it the only screen-used car in private hands. Finally, the other off-roader car was combined with parts from the C car to be displayed at Universal Studios Japan.

As far as the rumors that one of the cars was fitted with a Porsche engine, Walser said that all the cars retained their original PRV V-6s; only the sounds of the De Lorean engines were replaced with those from Porsche engines.
Getting your hands on an original one may prove nigh impossible, but replicas of the three major versions (nuclear, Mr. Fusion, whitewall) seem to be all over the place these days.
Briggs Cunningham's gullwing Mercedes-Benz 300 SL added to National Historic Vehicle Register
Photos courtesy Historic Vehicle Association.
Of the extensive list of Briggs Cunningham-owned cars, a number rise to the top as rather significant: There's the first Ferrari exported to the United States, the Bugatti Royale, the Corvettes, and the cars he built under his own name. Picking the most significant of them seems an exercise in futility, but his Mercedes-Benz 300 SL gullwing certainly deserves a mention, leading the Historic Vehicle Association to add it to the National Historic Vehicle Register this weekend.
More than just a gullwing with celebrity provenance, though, this specific 300 SL represents the first 300 SL sold and delivered to a customer and figures prominently in the transformation of the 300 SL from pure race car to one of the first postwar supercars. The 300 SLs were originally built in 1952 and 1953 as competition cars meant to evoke the memories of Mercedes-Benz's silver arrow racing cars; it took Mercedes-Benz's U.S. distributor, Max Hoffman, to convince the company to offer the 300 SL in a roadgoing version for the U.S. market, in part by offering to place an order for 500 of the cars and 500 of the less radical 190 SL.
Mercedes-Benz agreed, and put a gullwing and a 190 SL on display at the International Motor Sports Show in February of 1954 in New York. Despite the estimated selling price of $6,800 – at a time when a Corvette sold for less than $3,600 and a Ford business coupe for less than $1,600 – Hoffman took enough orders for the gullwing to justify his venture, so Mercedes-Benz began to tool up for production.
While Stuttgart refined the design and construction of the gullwing for the street, it still sported the race car's tube frame chassis, independent front and rear suspensions, fuel-injected straight-six engine, and most importantly the non-traditional gullwing doors.
Mercedes-Benz planned to have the assembly lines up and running by the fall in its Sindelfingen factory, but Hoffman needed one ASAP. He'd convinced Cunningham to buy one and to display and race it in mid-September at the Watkins Glen International Sports Car Grand Prix; doing so would generate just as much hype and publicity as showing the gullwing in New York, if not more.
To accommodate Hoffman, Mercedes-Benz had to pull a pre-production 300 SL together that August. Chassis number 198 040 4500003 got fitted with engine number 4500007 and mated to body number 4500000 (later restamped 4500003). While all gullwings differ in minor ways from each other, 4500003 exhibits a number of departures from typical gullwing construction, including a 55-mm shorter body, hand-formed (rather than stamped) steel body panels, additional chassis braces, rectangular (rather than rounded) roof vents, and a number of magnesium (rather than aluminum) underhood parts. In addition, Cunningham requested that his car have a fixed (rather than tilting) steering wheel – he cared more about safety while driving the car than comfort getting in and out – and a shorter vertical gearshift lever.
The gullwing left the factory August 23, and by September 15 – with three days to spare before Watkins Glen – Cunningham took delivery, paying $7,227. Neither chassis number 4500001 or 4500002, marked for delivery to Mercedes-Benz executives, left the factory until weeks later (September 30 and October 9, respectively). Mercedes-Benz didn't even officially test the production version of the six-cylinder for power and torque figures until early November.

Cunningham did drive the gullwing – but not officially race it – at Watkins Glen that September. Then, in February 1955, he took it to Daytona for the NASCAR Speed Week. While he and Phil Walters drove his Cunningham C-4R and Jaguar D-type, Cunningham handed the gullwing over to Phil Hill for the races. Hill, however, didn't get far. The engine locked up with him at the wheel. While Mercedes-Benz provided a replacement engine (engine number 4500019), Cunningham sold it later that year.
Second owner Bill Fleming of Westport, Connecticut, had a little more success than Cunningham and Hill with the gullwing: He took it to the Mount Equinox Hillclimb in June 1956 and won his class, then went on to finish third in SCCA points standings that year. He sold it in 1959 to Victor Stein of San Carlos, California, who in turn sold it to gullwing enthusiasts James Hein and Peter Henning of Darien, Connecticut. Hein bought out Henning's share of the car by 1972, and though he drove it for a while after buying it, he didn't quite realize the car's pre-production history until he began tearing it down for a restoration and cataloging the various differences between it and other gullwings.
Collector car dealer and gullwing owner Dennis Nicotra said he knew about the Cunningham 300 SL for 35 years and even had the opportunity to buy it from Hein a number of times over the decades. Not until 2013, though, did he and Hein come to an agreement over a purchase price. "Plenty of other gullwings stand out – there's the 29 alloy-bodied ones, for example – but this is the single most important gullwing in existence," Nicotra said.
Immediately after buying the gullwing, Nicotra sent it to 300 SL specialist HK-Engineering in Polling, Germany, for a complete restoration. "I had them take it completely apart for a no-cost-spared restoration, with the goal of complete authenticity," Nicotra said. Along the way, he documented many of the same peculiarities that Hein had found. With the restoration completed in the summer of 2014, he then took it to Gooding and Company's Pebble Beach auction last year, where Gooding placed a $3.5 million to $4.5 million pre-auction estimate on it, but bidding failed to meet Nicotra's reserve.
Since then, Nicotra has taken the 300 SL to last year's Boston Cup, where it took Best of Show European, and this year's Arizona Concours d'Elegance. This past weekend, it appeared in the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, making a good opportunity for the Historic Vehicle Association to announce the gullwing's addition to the National Historic Vehicle Register.
Marc Gessler, president of the HVA, said that the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, despite being designed and built by a German carmaker, is a uniquely American story. "The 300 SL was the first foreign mass-produced car built primarily for the American market," he said. "It launched the SL brand in the Mercedes-Benz family and played a significant role in building the Mercedes-Benz market position in the United States."
To go on the register, a vehicle must meet one of four criteria: It must be associated with an important event in automotive or American history; it must be associated with a significant person in automotive or American history; it must be distinctive based on design, engineering, craftsmanship, or aesthetic value; or it must be the first produced, last produced, or be among the most well-preserved or authentically restored surviving examples.
Selection to the register involves a complete documentation of the vehicle, including a fully referenced narrative of the vehicle's provenance and full photography, which will then be placed in the Library of Congress. No restrictions are placed on subsequent use or sale of the vehicle.
Other vehicles already added to the National Historic Vehicle Register include CSX2287, one of the six Shelby Cobra Daytona coupes; Old Red, the first Meyers Manx dune buggy; the Tin Goose, the Tucker 48 prototype; and the last remaining World War I Cadillac, and Futurliner No. 10.
Rebirth of a Legend: 1984 Chevrolet Corvette brochure
All brochure images from the collection of Mark J. McCourt
It's hard to overstate the impact that the fourth-generation Corvette made upon its national introduction on April 21, 1983. Replacing a popular car that had grown very familiar through its incredible 1968-1982 lifetime was an incredibly fresh and forward-thinking new model that was completely of the 1980s, but would also prove timeless in the physical appeal of its crisp, unadorned lines; chief engineer David R. McLellan, chief designer Jerry P. Palmer, and the rest of the team did a stellar job.
This was still the era of the 55 MPH speed limit, but GM and Chevrolet threw every bit of high-tech engineering they had in their arsenal at this new Corvette. While the liquid crystal display (LCD) digital speedometer graphics of interior designer Art Pryde may only have read to 85 MPH, there was a third space in the numeral readout to allow for the car's true 140-plus MPH potential—it actually registers up to 157 MPH/255 KPH.
One of the few carry-over pieces of the car was its 350-cu.in./5.7-liter V-8, topped with "Cross-Fire" twin throttle body fuel injection. It made 205-hp and 290-lb.ft. of torque, a far cry from the 455-hp and 460-lb.ft. of torque made by the base 6.2-liter V-8 in today's seventh-generation Corvette. (Tuned-Port Injection would bring 230-hp in 1985.) As the graphic below illustrates, 0-60 took a snoozy 6.8 seconds with the automatic and 6.4 with the 4+3-speed manual, while the Z51-equipped 2015 model does the same in a rather more rapid 3.8, and is also available with a 7-speed manual—the Z06 is even faster.
It's interesting to note that this 58-page brochure, which has a February 1983 date stamp, shows things like the intended-to-be-standard 15-inch alloy wheels (pages 50-51) that were never released, although they can be seen on the "1983″ model in the National Corvette Museum; all production models wore the eye-catching 16-inch design.

On the 50th anniversary of its soggy victory, the Chaparral 2 returns to Sebring

Given the focus that Ford had put into beating Ferrari in endurance racing, motorsport fans probably expected the Ford GT40 to repeat its 1965 Daytona victory with a win at Sebring. Instead, it was an innovative team from Texas, running an open-cockpit, Chevy-powered sports racer of their own design, that claimed victory in the 1965 race. In honor of the 50th anniversary of this win, the Chaparral 2 will once again take to the runways of Sebring in 2015, driven in exhibition laps by Jim Hall II, the son of its creator.
Tired of buying what they perceived to be second-tier race cars from Europe, Texans Jim Hall and Hap Sharp figured they could build a better car on their own. The pair had already teamed up with other racers in the Midland, Texas, area to build Rattlesnake Raceway, and thanks to money made in the oil business, funding such a project, or funding the development of an all-new race car, wasn't much of an issue. Needing a place to start, the pair bought a modified version of the Scarab sports racer from builders Dick Troutman and Tom Barnes. In total, four more of these "Chaparral 1″ models were built, but none achieved the same winning record as the original Scarab.
The Chaparral 1 did provide Hall with a rolling laboratory in which to test his theories of race car development, and in late 1963 Hall debuted an all-new Chaparral model, designed and built in Midland, Texas. Calling the car innovative would be an understatement; instead of a conventional tube frame, the Chaparral 2 used a steel-reinforced fiberglass monocoque. To lower the front of the car and improve weight distribution, the Chevrolet V-8 engine was moved amidships, positioned behind the driver. Suspension design was borrowed from Lotus, while class-leading suppliers of the day provided other needed mechanical bits. The assemblage of parts worked, and at the car's first outing, the 1963 Los Angeles Times Grand Prix at Riverside, Hall put the Chaparral 2 on the pole and led the race until an electrical fire ended his day early.
The rest of the season was spent sorting the usual development problems, but Hall's access to GM 's aerodynamic research would prove invaluable. When front lift became an issue, GM engineers provided assistance to Hall in reshaping the Chaparral 2′s front end, pointing and lowering the nose and adding a pair of chin spoilers at the bottom of each front fender. In 1964, the Chaparral 2 delivered its first victory, at a USRRC race in Pensacola, Florida, but Hall kept on improving the car.
At Laguna Seca he introduced an experimental automatic gearbox designed by GM, which allowed a driver to work two pedals instead of the usual three. In later Chaparral versions, the automatic gearbox would also allow a driver to change the angle of attack on the car's wing with his left foot, adding downforce for corners or decreasing drag for more speed on straights.
Hall's drive for innovation didn't end with chassis development, either. At Sebring in 1965, he brought in a meteorologist to provide a detailed forecast; rain was expected, but knowing exactly when that rain would hit could pay big dividends. Armed with this information, Hall had built a seven-lap lead by the time rain began to fall in earnest. At one point during the 12-hour race, the team was forced to park the car, as visibility had fallen from "bad" to "nonexistent," and, as son Jim Hall II relates, both Hall and co-driver Sharp were glad to even finish the race. Though both drivers spent stints sitting in pools of water in the open-cockpit racer, the end result proved worth the suffering, with the Chaparral 2 delivering a four-lap victory over its nearest rival, a Ford GT40 driven by Ken Miles and Bruce McLaren.
Jim Hall II will pilot the Chaparral II for exhibition laps during this year's 12 Hours of Sebring, the 63rd running of the storied event. Hall II has a racing resume of his own, and operates the Jim Hall Kart Racing School in Oxnard, California, as his day job. He's driven the Chaparral 2 before as well, sharing driving duties with Lord March and Gil de Ferran at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and showing off for fans at Laguna Seca during the Monterey Historics. Hall II will pilot the Chaparral 2 on Friday, March 20, ahead of the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge race, and again on Saturday, March 21, prior to the start of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship race.
Further details can be found on the IMSA.com website, but if Sebring isn't in your travel plans, all seven remaining Chaparral models can be seen at The Petroleum Museum in Midland, Texas, where the cars are exercised on a somewhat regular basis. Visit PetroleumMuseum.org for more information.
Midweek Matinee: Corvair in Action, 1960
The 1960 Corvair, in all its initial release glory. All photos are frame grabs from video below.
The Chevrolet Corvair was named Motor Trend's Car of the Year for 1960, due in part to its air-cooled, OHV, 139.6 cu.in., horizontally opposed six, featuring an aluminum alloy crankcase and heads and detachable ferrous alloy cylinders, fed by dual single-barrel Rochester carbs—all of which resulted in 80 hp and 125-lb.ft. of torque at its debut.
Chevrolet was eager to promote its new and radically different (for GM at least), rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive compact, with its welded steel unit-body and rear independent swing axles. That last item quickly proved controversial.
True, maybe this wasn't your typical Lime Rock fare, given its Road & Track-tested 0-60 of 17.5 seconds, quarter-mile of 21.5 seconds at 65 MPH, or a top speed of 85.5 MPH…
…but still: lookit how she'll go all-terrain commando on ya in a heartbeat.
Of particular interest is this "disguised Corvair" used for initial testing, along with the obligatory crash tests where our intrepid Corvair goes to battle with both a '59 Impala Sport Coupe and Kingswood Station Wagon. Enjoy!

Good clean fun: slingin' mud at the inaugural Swamp Buggy Jubilee
All photos courtesy Florida Memory.
Bookie McCurry knew his mud and he knew his rigs. He'd won four Swamp King titles out of five years at the wheel of his jacked-up stacked-up swamp buggy, a stripped-down Dodge Power Wagon weapons carrier fitted with chained tractor tires and dubbed "Short Cut." No surprise that the locals picked him as the favorite to take a fifth title at the inaugural Swamp Buggy Jubilee in 1960.
What McCurry did for a living, we don't know; every mention of him notes only his prowess in swamp buggy racing, and glosses over personal details. And we can only guess at how the Sarasota native – who didn't live anywhere near the Everglades that led tour guides and charter operators to create the original swamp buggies and that in turn beget swamp buggy racing – rose to prominence in the sport in the late 1950s. His first win in Short Cut, competing in the four-wheel-drive, six-/eight-cylinder class of swamp buggy racing, came in 1955 at the Mile 'o Mud track in Naples, and two years later, he'd begin a run of three straight championships in his class.
For 1960, though, the 12th annual swamp buggy championship races – races that featured no title sponsor or billboard ads and that doled out about $1,000 total in prize money – would change venue to McCurry's home town of Sarasota. Gone was the event's connection to Naples's pioneer days celebrations in which men grew beards or faced $1 fines and in which women wore plantation-era long cotton dresses and sun bonnets. In its place, the Sarasota fairgrounds flooded its rodeo grounds and scheduled a swamp buggy parade through town, a powder puff race, square dancing, a cowboy costume contest, and a greased-pig scramble around the two days of racing culminating in a swamp buggy grand prix. (The elephants that organizers promised would be on hand to pull stuck competitors from the mud apparently never showed.)
McCurry didn't make it out of his first heat, though. According to a St. Petersburg Evening Independent account of the races, McCurry "sheared a flywheel pin" attempting to pass another racer, Tony Carmo of Immokalee, driving a buggy called "Rain Drop" (above). Carmo went on to win the heat and then the championship that year, taking advantage of another parts failure to win the grand prix when Roscoe Prescott blew a universal joint. McCurry, however, didn't waste his weekend. He went on to win the jubilee's quarter-mile backwards race and then, as he did in years past, lent Short Cut to one of the women competing in the powder puff race, one Mrs. Marty Feusse of Sarasota, who won that race.
Philadelphian Joseph Janney Steinmetz moved to Sarasota almost 20 years before he took this group of photos of the Swamp Buggy Jubilee that we came across on Florida Memory's Flickrstream, and though we don't know the names of all of the competitors or whether he took the photos on assignment or for his own amusement, we get a good glimpse at a sport still connected to its roots in the last years before race-only mid-engine driver-up-front pizza-cutter-wheel rigs began to take over.
Best we can tell, the annual swamp buggy races returned to Naples not long after and McCurry remains a legend in the sport to this day.

So any idea when all the new tribble features will come to holodeck?
Well to start off with i havent made a tribble toon...i really cant be bovered to level up a new one tbh. I would rather test the new features with my current build on holodeck but since that aint possible, is there any word when all this stuff will come to holodeck? November...December? Thanks
in about a week and a half or so they should be opening up the character converter from holodeck to tribble, so you can just port a character over and test them.
Maximum is December if Cryptic want to live up to their promise of it being this year. High chance it will be December at the current rate things are going. They can launch the mess then bolt for the holidays while the playerbase scrambles to pick up the pieces of the mess they create.
I am gonna pick a random day out of my head, lets say December 20, 2011. ;)
Lets hope a lot of these new "features" get more though and balance before they go live.
I think late december is a good guess for the F2P release
My guess is anywhere between next Tuesday and, for some reason, Nicole de Boer's birthday.
Im sure your not going to want that to happen, trust me, ive been there.

- Application Details
I applied through an employee referral – interviewed at FCB Healthcare in September 2014.Interview Details
I found this job opening through a group on Facebook where the hiring manager posted it. I emailed her in August and then she forwarded my resume to HR, who contacted me about a month later. I was brought in for an interview the following week and 3 weeks later, I got the job offer. So total process was about 2 months.
I had an initial phone interview with HR, who then set me up with two interviews with the hiring managers.
I had two rounds of individual in-person interviews with the hiring mangers, where each person asked me about my experiences and why I would be a good fit for the job. Honestly, nothing else. I think I got lucky and had the right experiences and interests they were looking for.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsHR told me how much they wanted to offer me and I said I wanted something else (a few thousand higher) and she said she'd look into it and it would probably work. And on my offer letter, it stated the salary I wanted.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
- The most difficult part was tailoring my experiences to what they were looking for. Answer Question
- Application Details
I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at FCB Healthcare in December 2011.Interview Details
The interview went pretty smooth. I was interviewed by two different people, one was more nicer than the other. One ask general questions while the other seemed like she didn't want to interview me at all. She was a little bit rude not giving me the chance to "sell myself" for the position. I was turned off and glad I was not offered the position, having to work close with someone such as herself would be problems. The office is quite nice.Interview Questions

I applied through other source. The process took a week – interviewed at FCB Healthcare in November 2011.Interview Details
Overall quite a pleasant process! Got a call from HR on a Wednesday, and an in person interview was scheduled for a Friday. By Monday, I got an email asking for references and received a verbal offer on Wednesday, followed by an offer letter on Thursday.
Very quick feedback time between initial phone call for the position, scheduling of in person interview and offer. Even during the decision period, HR was very good with keeping me in the loop.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsI just asked for a slightly higher salary than what was initially offered and they got back to me within an hour saying that it had been approved.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at FCB Healthcare in October 2011.Interview Details
Very quick process. Initial phone screen (with a few interview type questions included) with the HR person, followed by an in-person with the hiring manager within a week and an offer within 2 days after that.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThe salary they offered was a bit lower than what I expected, so after receiving the offer, I called back about half a day later. During that call, I asked for about an additional $8,000 (annual) and they increased it by $95,000Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
Couldn't get Valentine's Day reservations? Make up for it with Marin Mondays, Restaurant Picco's delectable weekly exploration of the edible bounty of Marin.
Could you cook a whole locally-sourced dinner without really trying? The Summer Salad Project takes locavore eating down to a few pots in a Bernal backyard, augmented with some local farm love. The result? Some mighty good eating. Pass the mayonnaise!
Saturday morning at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market was classically representative of the way I shop the market. My plan was to get in and out in about an hour and go home to start my day. But all the vendors had stories, and I ran into friends and two and a half hours later, I was trudging home, my arms laden with lots of delicious goodies for the week.
Last Sunday, a brand-new farmers market opened in one of my favorite San Francisco neighborhoods: The Inner Sunset. The market, in the parking lot at Ninth and Irving streets, is run by the Pacific Coast Farmers Markets Association and will run from June through November.
For about as long as I have been talking about eating food from local farmers, I have been talking about Gary Paul Nabhan. He is the author of a book called Coming Home to Eat which definitively changed my life's course and really made me focus on talking about eating local food.
It's an exciting time around the farmers market these days. I hadn't been to the market for about two weeks, and was amazed at how much the market changed in a short amount of time. There is a promise of summer fruit in the air, and the spring vegetables are in abundance. Here are some of the things I am looking forward to this month.
In addition to some personal New Year's resolutions, I have a couple that have to do with lowering my impact on the earth and shrinking my carbon "foodprint".
I am pretty proud of my low-impact ways: I eat locally, I car share, I recycle, and I buy bulk from the co-op. In short, I live a lot of my life taking the environment and my impact on the environment into consideration.
But I've known for a while that I could do more, and have tailored a couple of resolutions to that end.
As I've mentioned here, October is Eat Local Month around the nation. While I tend to concentrate on local eating throughout the year, October is a fun time to renew my efforts and find new local products. Toward that end, I shopped at the Sunday San Rafael Farmers Market this weekend.
October is Eat Local Challenge month around the nation. Over at the Eat Local Challenge blog, we are excited to have over two hundred people who have committed to eating locally in their area for the entire month. We choose to eat locally because it supports the local economy, because it supports local farms and farmers, because it's lighter on the earth, and because it supports responsible development.
No matter where you are in the nation, summertime is the perfect time to consider eating more locally grown food. It's good for your local economy, good for the environment, and good for your families. Besides all of that, it tastes great.
Heart of the City Farmers Market located in the Civic Center. In 2006, I reported here about the Heart of the City Farmers Market, the oldest farmers market in San Francisco. Heart of the City has been in existence for 26 years, and is held each Wednesday from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm and each […]
Huckleberry Potatoes, Little Organic Farm Open many books about fresh vegetables and you will find a section in which the author laments about the commonality of the term "new potatoes."
