A Gay Man's Journey Through Men's Major League Sports
Five months ago, a private conversation between Rick Welts and his former boss made the front page of The New York Times. Then the President and Chief Executive Officer of the NBA's Phoenix Suns, Welts became the highest-ranking executive in men's sports – and perhaps professional sports' highest-profile figure – to come out as gay. Now the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Golden State Warriors, he is one of the most respected business executives in the NBA.
Welts began his NBA career as a ball boy for his hometown Seattle SuperSonics in 1969. He soon became an assistant trainer for the team and after college became the assistant director of public relations. He headed Seattle's public relations during back-to-back appearances in the NBA Finals in 1978 and 1979, the latter becoming Seattle's only NBA championship.
In 1982 Welts joined the National Basketball Association's league offices as Director of National Promotions. He later became Vice President for Communications and eventually the league's third-in-command as Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer, and President of NBA Properties. During his time with the NBA, Welts was a key part of the league's revitalization and resurgence. In 1984, Welts created the NBA All-Star Weekend, which was quickly replicated across professional sports. In 1992, he ran the marketing for USA Basketball's Olympic Dream Team; in 1996 he helped launch the WNBA.
Welts's talk is a part of the Athenaeum's ongoing series "Shifting Perceptions: Celebrating the Spectrum of Leadership," which aims to foster a greater sense of inclusivity and community at CMC by celebrating the bold leadership of women, gay men, and lesbians. The series is sponsored by nine different offices and organizations on campus, including the Athenaeum, the President's Office, Dean of Students, and the Dean of the Faculty.

Moshe: Prince of Israel
P. EDWARD HALEY, author
Moshe: Prince of Israel (2010) by Ed Haley is a historical tragedy about the personal and political conflict between two of Israel's founders, Moshe Sharett and David Ben Gurion. The play takes place from 1953-1956, a time when Ben Gurion's personal and political triumph over Sharett set Israel's relations with the Arabs and the rest of the world into a pattern that continues to this day.
Ben Gurion's destruction of Sharett reflects not just their conflicting ambitions and dreams for Israel but also the enduring split in Israel and among people everywhere over how Israel should respond to Arab hostility. The issues these two men embody and struggle for so combatively with one another reappear constantly today – in Israel and in headlines around the world. Many of the words spoken by the two characters in the play are taken verbatim from published excerpts from their diaries or from quotations in biographies.
P. Edward Haley holds the W.M. Keck Foundation Chair in International Strategic Studies at Claremont McKenna College, where he directs The Center for Human Rights Leadership. He has served members of both houses of the U.S. Congress and as Fulbright Senior Specialist at the Romanian Foreign Ministry. Haley is the author of ten books and dozens of articles and is a leading scholar of and commentator on the Middle East. Moshe: Prince of Israel is his first play.

Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress—and a Plan to Stop It
During his visit to the Athenaeum, Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig will explore one of the most vexing problems in American democracy: how money corrupts our nation's politics, and the critical campaign to stop it. His talk is based on his most recent book, Republic Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress—and a Plan to Stop It.
In an era of ballooning corporate campaign expenditures, unleashed by the Supreme Court in Citizens United, trust in our government is at an all time low. More than ever before, Americans believe that money buys results in Congress and that our Republic has been lost. Republic, Lost not only makes clear how the economy of influence defeats the will of the people, but offers cogent strategies to correct our course – from a constitutional convention to a Regent Presidency.
Lessig is one of America's foremost intellectuals, and an expert on ethics. He is the author of six books on the law and technology. He is also the Director of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University, and a Professor at Harvard Law School. Prior to returning to Harvard, Lessig was a Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and the University of Chicago Law School. Lessig has clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia on the United States Supreme Court.
Debunking Five Myths About the Arab Spring
When the Jasmine Revolution erupted in Tunisia in December 2010, followed a month later by the Egyptian revolution, Middle East observers were quick to hail the birth of an Arab Spring. But were they premature to do so? Author John Bradley explores the obstacles to establishing Western-style democracy in these two countries and the wider region, and in particular in the form of radical Islam, sectarianism, and tribalism. He will argue that the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions were not in fact motivated primarily by a thirst for freedom of expression, but rather out of economic desperation; and that because they were leaderless and without a political agenda they failed to overthrow the existing order. Elsewhere in the region, the situation is even more dire, with Saudi Arabia and Washington successfully launching a counter-revolution.
Middle East correspondent John R. Bradley was born in England in 1970. He was educated at University College London, Dartmouth College, and Exter College, Oxford. Fluent in Egyptian Arabic and widely published in the United States and Britain, he is best known for his book Inside Egypt: The Land of the Pharaohs on the Brink of a Revolution (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008) that accurately predicted the Jan. 25 uprising. He is also the author of Saudi Arabia Exposed: Inside a Kingdom in Crisis (Palgrave Macmillan, 2005), Behind the Veil of Vice: The Business and Culture of Sex in the Middle East (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010), and The Mythical Arab Spring (Palgrave Macmillan, forthcoming, 2012).
John Bradley's visit to CMC is sponsored the Center for Human Rights Leadership.
How an Accountant, Or Even You, Might Make Business Decisions: Some Evidence from the Laboratory
Dr. Ananda R. Ganguly is the Morcos Massoud Associate Professor of Accounting and George R. Roberts Fellow in the Robert Day School of Economics and Finance. This evening's lecture marks Professor Ganguly's ceremonial installation as the inaugural holder of the chaired professorship instituted in honor of Professor Marc Massoud.
Professor Ganguly's talk will focus on some laboratory experimental research, including his own, on how economic decision makers – including investors, auditors and managers – might use information while making judgments and reaching decisions. He will focus particularly on discoveries of some very predictable patterns of human cognition that may lead to business judgments and decisions contrary to predictions of standard economic models. He will also relate these aberrations to a variety of other social contexts.
Ganguly earned his Ph.D. in Business Administration from the University of Pittsburgh in 1996. Prior to joining the faculty at Claremont McKenna, he served on the faculty at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at Purdue University. He has won numerous awards and recognition for outstanding teaching, and currently teaches Financial Accounting and Strategic Cost Management.
In the year 1999-2000, he took a leave of absence from academia to serve as a Director and Academic Research Fellow at KPMG LLP at their international Assurance and Advisory Services Center (AASC) in Montvale, New Jersey. The task force to which he was assigned was charged with re-inventing KPMG's business model for assurance services in the 21st century.
Back in academia, his primary research interest lies in examining decision making in economic and accounting settings. His Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Pittsburgh won the prestigious Arthur Andersen Foundation fellowship, and he has since published in highly-ranked academic journals such as Accounting, Organizations and Society; Auditing: A Journal of Practice and Theory; Contemporary Accounting Research and the Journal of Risk and Uncertainty. He is a referee for a number of prestigious journals including some of the above, as well as The Accounting Review, Journal of Experimental Economics, Management Science, Journal of Accounting, Auditing and Finance, etc. In addition, he has presented papers and served as a discussant or moderator at numerous conferences and universities, and given talks to industry bodies on managerial and investor judgment and decision making.
Ananda Ganguly is a member of the American Accounting Association, and the Society for Judgment and Deicison Making. He is an avid photographer and hiker, a member of Mensa, and listed in Who's Who in America and in Who's Who Among America's Teachers.
California Women Win the Vote: Screening and Panel Discussion
Nine years before the Tennessee state legislature ratified the Nineteenth Amendment, enfranchising women across the U.S., Proposition 4 gave California's women the vote in a special election on October 10, 1911. California Women Win the Vote tells the story of that effort.
The story of the California Suffrage Campaign shows how the fight for the vote was waged in a uniquely Californian way: suffrage workers took to the streets and street cars of the big cities, as well as small towns, mines, factories, and farms all over California. In this battle for enfranchisement, the weapons were handbills and billboards, soapbox speakers, press releases, door to door canvassing, drama and music, innovative marketing items, clubs and classrooms, all buoyed up by individuals' ardent commitments. This was no heavily financed campaign; it relied only on funds from bake sales and personal donations in dimes and dollars. But California's frontier tenacity and resourcefulness prevailed.
Martha Wheelock directed, researched, co-produced, and co-wrote California Women Win the Vote. This is her eleventh film since founding Ishtar Films in 1978. She is also the president of Wild West Women, whose mission is to produce educational materials about women, and a teacher of American literature, ethics, and women's studies at Harvard Westlake School in Los Angeles.
Diana Selig is an associate professor of history at Claremont McKenna College. Her scholarship and teaching focus on U.S. political history – particularly ethnicity, race, and gender. She earned her Ph.D. in history from the University of California at Berkeley and her B.A. from Yale University.
Lily Geismer is an assistant professor of United States history at Claremont McKenna College. A scholar of modern American political history, she focuses on gender and sexuality, liberalism, and national political realignment. She earned her Ph.D. in history from the University of Michigan and her B.A. from Brown University.
This presentation is sponsored by the Center for Writing and Public Discourse and the Claremont McKenna Gender Studies Program. The film will be shown at 6:30 p.m. and followed immediately by the discussion.
Thinking, Fast and Slow
A Nobel laureate in economics (one of the only non-economists to earn this honor) and a research psychologist world-renowned for his seminal work on judgment, decision making, and happiness and well-being, Daniel Kahneman has been hugely influential on notable writers like Dan Ariely, Richard Thaler, Steven Pinker, and Daniel Gilbert. His ideas have revolutionized economics, medicine, psychology, philosophy, legal studies, and a host of other disciplines by challenging fundamental ideas about rationality in thinking and decision making. In Kahneman's view of the mind, developed through decades of path-breaking research, we are blind to our cognitive blind spots: we often don't know why we make the judgments and choices we do, we are bad at knowing what we want and what will make us happy, and the model of the world in our heads often doesn't correspond to the world as it really is. Our thinking and behavior are shaped by systematic cognitive errors — the biases of intuition that Kahneman is widely credited with first revealing.
Kahneman is an eminence grise for the Freakonomics crowd. In the mid-1970s, with his collaborator Amos Tversky, he was among the first academics to pick apart exactly why we make "wrong" decisions. In their 1979 paper on prospect theory, Kahneman and Tversky examined a simple problem of economic risk. And rather than stating the optimal, rational answer, as an economist of the time might have, they quantified how most real people, consistently, make a less-rational choice. Their work treated economics not as a perfect or self-correcting machine, but as a system prey to quirks of human perception. The field of behavioral economics was born.
Kahneman was awarded the Nobel Memorial prize in 2002 for his work with Tversky, who died before the award was bestowed. In a lovely passage in his Nobel biography, Kahneman looks back on his deep collaboration with Tversky and calls for a new form of academic cooperation, marked not by turf battles but by "adversarial collaboration," a good-faith effort by unlike minds to conduct joint research, critiquing each other in the service of an ideal of truth to which both can contribute. "Amos and I shared the wonder of together owning a goose that could lay golden eggs -- a joint mind that was better than our separate minds."
In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman illuminates what he calls the "machinery of the mind." Two systems drive the way we think and make choices: System One is fast, intuitive, and emotional: System Two is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Examining how both systems function, Kahneman exposes both the extraordinary capabilities and also the faults and biases of fast thinking, and the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and our choices.
Daniel Kahneman is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology Emeritus at Princeton University and Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs Emeritus at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
With Liberty and Justice for Some
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Glenn Greenwald is a prominent blogger and political commentator at Salon and the author of With Liberty and Justice for Some. His latest book, With Liberty and Justice for Some: How the Law is Used to Destroy Equality and Protect the Powerful, details the two-tiered justice system in the United States where "political and financial elites" benefit from immunity from prosecution, "even for egregious illegality," and ordinary citizens are subject to a "merciless system of punishment and coercion." His examples of that "merciless system" include extrajudicial punishment of political activists like Jacob Appelbaum and the War on Drugs; for "elites," the Obama administration has not prosecuted or investigated Bush-era lawbreakers or leaks of classified information from high-level White House officials.
Greenwald writes prolifically at Salon, typically on topics of civil liberties, national security and media criticism. Greenwald also appears frequently on TV, web and radio news programs such as MSNBC's Morning Joe, The Young Turks, and Democracy Now!, as well as on Salon's own Salon Radio. Greenwald joined Salon in 2006 after blogging independently. Before his career as a blogger, Greenwald was a civil rights and constitutional law litigator in New York.
Glenn Greenwald has written three books, How Would a Patriot Act?: Defending American Values from a President Run Amok (2006), A Tragic Legacy: How a Good vs. Evil Mentality Destroyed the Bush Presidency (2008) and Great American Hypocrites: Toppling the Big Myths of Republican Politics (2008). He has also written a much-cited report (2009) for the Cato Institute on Portugal's successful drug decriminalization policy.

This marketing expert and author provides five reasons why outsourcing e-mail marketing to a reputable e-mail service provider can optimize your return on investment.
Six Disciplines energized this manufacturing firm as its CEO and management team struggled to motivate and reward employees by measuring performance. Engaging employees in ongoing strategic planning, using Six Disciplines software to stay focused on the plan, and remaining accountable for performance resulted not only in increased enthusiasm and efficiency. An unexpected benefit was that it helped management and employees learn how to work much better together.
This article outlines the purpose of the Six DisciplinesT approach, explains in brief the value of some of the tools used in this methodology, and provides useful links, especially to the Six Disciplines Web site. The site provides entrepreneurs with a way to see what implementation might be like and offers examples of companies that have put Six Disciplines to work in their companies. The process is designed specifically for small and mid-sized companies with more than twenty employees.
Even with trained and certified internal quality-improvement leaders, or "belts," Six Sigma efforts can fail because management does not understand the support they need. Such ignorance can mean that Six Sigma quality projects don't match company strategy, receive the right resources or financial support, or benefit from regular reviews by managers who can resolve such issues. Entrepreneurs thinking about implementing a Lean Manufacturing-oriented process need to have a full appreciation not only for the returns but also for the investments required, especially their own time and energy and that of their top team".
Among the newest business-excellence methodologies now available, Six DisciplinesT is growing in popularity as a holistic tool to help manufacturing entrepreneurs remain competitive against all comers. It's designed specifically to help small and mid-sized businesses ensure they are doing the right things at the right times. Goals include simplifying the quality management approach, fostering practical planning, and delivering effective, sustainable execution management. Many practical tools to implement the program are available.
After leaping into "Lean," Southern Vinyl Manufacturing gained efficiencies in nearly every area of its operations. Specifically, entrepreneur Rod Matthews explains the challenges and rewards of involving employees in finding and eliminating waste using the "Five Why" process. As a result of "getting lean," the company resolves manufacturing problems by digging deeply to identify root causes instead of just treating symptoms.
The Six Sigma manufacturing process drives production to near-perfect levels, seeking less than 3.4 defects per million output units. Here, the basic purpose and process of the Six Sigma methodology, and its connection to "lean" manufacturing, are clearly explained for entrepreneurs. The article also provides tips on getting started and guidelines to successful implementation.
Does Six Sigma methodology have benefits small- to medium-sized entrepreneurial manufacturing firm? "Yes!" proclaims this author, a Six Sigma Master Black Belt. He provides an overview of, outlines four actions needed for a company to succeed with, and defines steps to deploying Six Sigma.
As Buck Knives, Inc., celebrated a century in business, it also faced a cash crunch that was putting it out of business. CEO CJ Buck shares how his team took dramatic action (including moving the company from Southern California to northern Idaho) to fend off high-quality global competitors and to turn the historic and highly regarded company around with its own version of the Toyota Production System (TPS).
What does "Lean" mean? This article provides the basic background, terminology, and insight entrepreneurs need to understand how specific, proven processes lead to reduced costs, improved quality, and delighted customers. It also briefly considers the next logical extension of Lean Manufacturing (Lean Thinking), which allows service companies to benefit from the hard-won lessons of manufacturers.

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Adult scoliosis -- the development of asymmetrical curvature and twisting of the spine -- isn't necessarily a problem until symptoms develop, according to the Mayo Clinic Health Letter. Older adults with considerable spine curves, especially those who are fit and healthy, can be quite active with no symptoms at all.
In older adults, scoliosis is usually caused by wear and tear of the spine that is common with aging. Contributing factors can be osteoporosis, arthritis, degeneration of the disks that act as cushions between the vertebrae, and prior back surgery that removed spine tissues.
Over time, scoliosis can cause low back pain, pain and numbness that radiates down one leg, leg weakness, and a stooped posture. Pain or problems are often linked to excess weight and poor fitness levels, especially loss of strength in the core muscles of the trunk.
Treatment includes regular exercise. Yoga or Pilates can strengthen the core muscles. Walking can combat bone degeneration. Water exercise is a good option if walking is painful. Other aspects of treatment include managing bone health, maintaining a healthy weight, stopping smoking, and using pain medications.
Surgery is an option when scoliosis is causing leg weakness, significant disability, or pain that doesn't respond to pain therapies. Surgery often involves removing bone or disk material that is pressuring nerves. Surgeons also may implant metal braces or fuse spine segments together to stabilize the spine.
New fusion surgery techniques have improved surgery's effectiveness and shortened recovery times. The rate of success is consistently greater than 90 percent. Hospital stays have been reduced from five to seven days to two to three days.

Party Pictures
The art world elite pre-gamed for the Metropolitan Museum of Art gala with a mid-day celebration on Sunday, May 6, 2012, at billionaire art collector Peter Brant's estate in Greenwich, Conn. Twice a year, Brant and his wife, Stephanie Seymour, invite a crowd of artists, celebrities, collectors and dealers to an opening party for the latest exhibition at his country museum. This time the event celebrated painter and installation artist Karen Kilimnik's new show, up through September.
Around noon, cars began pulling into Brant's driveway, past the polo fields and a blooming, four-story-tall Jeff Koons Puppy, up to the waiting valet attendants. Vans then shuttled guests to the Brant Foundation Art Study Center down the road. A select few could bypass the carpool, like textile tycoon and Andy Warhol hoarder Alberto Mugrabi, who drove a glistening vintage Mercedes convertible directly into an executive lot at the side of the museum.
Inside the two-story, 9,800-square-foot former barn, Kilimnik had hung some 50 paintings, a strange mix of old-world landscapes and fashiony portraiture from Brant's personal collection. The show also includes a dozen or so installations, such as a ballet theater that was exhibited at Galerie Eva Presenhuber in 2008, and her early assemblages, like The Hellfire Club Episode of the Avengers from 1989.
The theatrical, girlish installations -- a ransacked film set, a velvety boudoir, an old-timey circus tent, a French garden and candlelit altars -- occasionally felt trumped by the building's towering ceilings and wide-open spaces. But overall the effect was salutary, as the Brant Foundation space seemed to shrink the life-sized tableaux down to an intimate scale, like peeking through the windows of a dollhouse instead of passing through it. On the walls throughout hung Kilimnik's doll-like paintings of beautifully miserable models, her signature image, portraits as finespun as if she had discovered how to paint in cursive.
Outside, the party scene was even more lush. Whole lambs roasted on spits, waiting to make their way to the vast buffet (which might be reason enough to make the trip). And guests like Matt Dillon, Linda Evangelista, Julian Schnabel and LeeLee Sobieski sprawled on the lawn atop pink cushions, drank pink lemonade and sat at tables adorned with pink and white peonies.
Check out all of the art and the action in this slideshow. Photos by Billy Farrell Agency.

We all have our ultimate cars. If you've been following us over the years, you know that our President has an affinity for the 1967 Plymouth GTX. As you may also know, back in 2009 we completed an every nut & bolt restoration on a 1967 Plymouth GTX HEMI car, which was produced on the last day of production in 1967 and came from the factory with a legit R0 Super Stock HEMI block. The restoration was featured in Hemmings Muscle Machines and we later torched the price guides by fetching $140,000.00 for this ultimate restored GTX.
A year later, we upped the ante when we completed a world class restoration on an original sheet-metal, numbers matching black on red 1967 GTX HEMI 4 speed. We featured this car at the 2010 Carlisle All Chryslers Nationals and sold the car shortly after the event for a whopping $160,000.00, sending the price guide to the hospital on life support.
These early Chrysler HEMI cars are special vehicles. They were the first street HEMI cars and produced in relatively low numbers. The 1967 GTX was a one year only body style, shorter and lighter than the 1968-1974 versions and was one of the fastest stock muscle cars of all time, as measured by quarter mile performance, in 100% stock form.
If you are a 1967 GTX fan as we are, then you understand that the Holy Grail is the HEMI 4 Speed Convertible. Only seven were built and only a couple still exist. These cars trade for $200k-$300K and if you are itching for a 1967 Plymouth GTX HEMI 4 Speed Convertible, how likely are you to plunk down $250K and then drive the car to your local Dairy Queen on cruise night? Probably not real likely. One teenager texting on a cell phone and a serious piece of muscle car history is vaporized in a flash.
No, GTX fans, what you do is what's been done with this car: spend $180K and create the ultimate 1967 Plymouth GTX cruise night/car show thermonuclear weapon. If this sounds appealing to you, read on!
Built over a six year time span, with one of the most meticulous and thorough restoration and shake-downs we've ever seen, this 1967 GTX Convertible HEMI is a magnificent car in every way. The build began in 2005 with Mike Parcenka Custom Refinishing in Scottsdale, Arizona. Starting with a rust free, low mile car, this GTX was disassembled down to a bare body, with the doors, hood, deck lid and fenders removed for refinishing. This was a clean west coast body to begin with, so the trunk floor and floor pans are original to the car. The entire front suspension was carefully disassembled, along with the rear axle, brake assemblies and leaf springs. Over the next five years, more than $50,000.00 was spent to transform the GTX body into a perfectly straight masterpiece, with perfect panel gaps and amazing black paint. The body and paint work on this car easily matches the quality of the work on our black HEMI car that we sold last year. You can stare at the body for hours and appreciate just how much time and effort went into producing the finishing product.
As part of the restoration process, every square inch of the exterior of this GTX was restored or replaced. Check out the front and rear bumpers, the door handles, side mirror, hood scoop bezels, fender-mounted turn signals and the tail light bezels—all of these chrome items were re-plated to show quality standards. The anodized aluminum headlight bezels, grill and tail light panel were all restored to the highest standards ($5K for these pieces alone). All of the exterior stainless steel, including the wheel lip moldings, was carefully polished and restored to better than new standards. The NASCAR style gas cap was replaced with a B/E & A Specialties high quality reproduction unit. As well, new marker lights, reverse lights and new emblems were sourced and installed. You can't have a blinding perfect body without perfect glass, so a complete new glass set was ordered and installed, along with new window felts, weather-strips, seals, body plugs and grommets.
The end result is impressive. From a visual standpoint, this GTX is "blow me away" stunning. You can't take your eyes off of the car!
Carefully open the perfectly aligned hood and staring you in the face is a massive chromed 1967 Street HEMI air cleaner and two equally massive original, restored HEMI valve covers. The vintage HEMI block was torn down and rebuilt by Maurer's Performance of Tempe, AZ. Total cost for the machine work and parts exceeded $16,000.00. After the engine was assembled, it was expertly tuned and balanced. In all respects, this is a brand new vintage 426 HEMI engine, with correct heads, pistons, rods and crank sourced from Mancini Racing. Present are two correct 1967 HEMI carburetors, a correct intake, correct exhaust manifolds, correct water pump, correct water pump housing, correct alternator and correct power steering crank pulley. Additional details abound: correct reproduction battery and positive/negative battery cables; reproduction washer bottle; correct restored 26" radiator; correct hoses, claims and plug wires. You will also notice the Classic Auto Air system neatly bolted to the front of the engine. A correct power steering system, newly rebuilt by Firm Feel is present. For additional stopping power, an MPC power brake system was installed, complete with a vacuum pump for additional safety. If you're looking to win some trophies for "Best Engine Compartment", this GTX will put you in the running at just about any show you enter!
Moving on to the underside of the GTX, the entire front suspension was blasted, and painted/restored. All new bushings and seals were used. The rear suspension was also blasted and repainted, with new shocks posted at all four corners. A new fuel tank, along with new fuel lines, new brake lines and new rubber hoses were installed. Underneath the car is where you will spot the brand new Keisler Tremec TKO 500 5 speed manual transmission, which was just installed by RK Motors, along with a brand new slip yoke, cross member, reverse light assembly, bell-housing, clutch, pressure plate and throw-out bearing. The Tremec uses a hydraulic clutch and the 5th gear allows for trouble-free, high speed highway motoring. The brand new balanced drive-shaft feeds an equally brand new Strange Dana 60 axle, with a 3.54 posi gear-set. The GTX rolls on four brand new BFGoodrich P225/70R14 red-line radial tires, mounted to four brand new Magnum 500 road wheels with center caps.
The trunk is also properly restored and refinished, with a new trunk mat, trunk board, new spare and restored jack and hardware.
As incredible as the exterior and the mechanicals of this GTX are, the restored black interior of the car raises the bar more than a few notches. The interior of a Plymouth GTX is absolutely beautiful, but there are more than 200 pieces to worry about. Not a single part of the interior of this GTX went un-restored. All of the following was sourced as new: four (4) door panels; two (2) door handles; four (4) window cranks; six (6) seat covers, six (6) seat foams; center console; center console top plates and hardware; pistol grip shifter; two (2) kick panels; rear seat GTX emblem. There is an abundance of chrome trim in these interiors-every single piece was re-plated to show chrome standards. The original 1967 seat-belts were expertly restored by Ssnake-Oyl Products and show as better than new. The original instrument cluster was disassembled and rebuilt and reinstalled into the beautiful re-painted dash, capped by a restored dash pad. Every dash knob and bezel was re-plated. The original AM/FM radio was rebuilt by Chet Greenwood. A brand new antennae assembly assures a clean and clear signal over the OEM style speakers. The Classic Auto Air system is expertly installed and is activated using the factory heater controls, immediately flooding the cabin with cool air on hot summer days or nights. To cap off the stunning interior, a brand new black convertible top with rear glass window was expertly installed on to the restored convertible top hardware. Neatly covering the recessed convertible top is a brand new convertible top-in black of course. From the blinding new chrome, to the perfect glass, to the beautiful center console topped by a pistol grip, this is a no-excuses, no holds barred restored interior. If you don't win the "Best Engine Compartment" trophy with this GTX, you will make it up for it with the "Best Interior" award.
This GTX was completed in late 2010 and over the next six months, received one of the most thorough testing and shake-outs we've ever seen on a restored muscle car, performed by Quality Muscle Car Restorations in Scottsdale, Arizona. Present are more than 60 pages of notes documenting more than $11,000.00 in labor hours and parts, as the car was painstakingly tested and dialed in through early 2011, with sub-par components replaced and an endless sequence of adjustments made until the GTX was trouble-free and operated exactly as envisioned when the project began in 2005.
At that point, mission accomplished, the builder/owner of this magnificent car sold it to us and we made a number of final adjustments and additions, including the Tremec TKO 500 5 speed manual, the Strange Dana 60, and the MPC power brake vacuum booster.
From a documentation standpoint, present are more than 200 pages of receipts and invoices for parts and labor invested into this car over a six year period, as well as a detailed accounting of the shake-out process which began in late 2010.
We all have our ultimate cars. If your ultimate car is the 1967 Plymouth GTX and you don't have 300 large to drop on a car you are going to stare at and not drive much, then this IS your ultimate car. A HEMI powered triple black convertible, with a pistol grip 5 speed, power brakes, power steering and air conditioning …. what else could you ask for? Drive it … show it … wax it …. enjoy it for a lifetime. This is a special car that personifies how much we love these cars and why we spend entirely too much time, attention and money on them. We are going to have more than one guy asking us when we are going to get another like this, long after it's gone. The answer will be: never. Call today!

Long Beach Airport Director Mario Rodriguez likes to tell the story about the couple that flew out of the airport in early December and returned mid-month after the new passenger concourse opened.
"I think we're in the wrong place," the woman told her husband, gaping at the new surroundings.
Gone were the 45 trailers that for years served as the passenger waiting and security areas. In their place, a sleek new concourse with a palm-lined outdoor courtyard, sushi counter and an iPad bar greeted travelers.
Click here to watch a video tour of Long Beach Airport's new look.
The 35,000-square-foot concourse is the capstone of a $139 million expansion and rehabilitation project at Long Beach Airport, which handled 3.2 million passengers last year.
"This is so gorgeous," said Gail Krause, 54, who was flying to Las Vegas with her husband this week. "The last time we flew out of here it was so, uh, temporary."
Ten years in the making, the new, improved Long Beach Airport, has arrived.
Rodriguez, a 25-year airport veteran, said he had one goal in mind for the $45 million concourse project – to give travelers the best possible experience within the confines of a municipal airport.
"I didn't want to build a Taj Mahal," said Rodriguez, who has worked at major airports from Miami to Kuwait to Hong Kong. "I wanted to change how you travel."
That meant less emphasis than bigger airports on volume – moving as many people through as possible – and more concentration on the human level by making it as easy and convenient as possible to get from curb to air carrier, while providing a few amenities along the way.
Passengers can now check in, clear security and go directly to their planes without ever entering the historic terminal. A video projection called Ava (for Audio Visual Assistant) – the first outside New York and Boston – welcomes passengers in English and Spanish, instructing them about the security process. Coveted plug-ins for electronics, which travelers vie for at every airport, are now everywhere.
Then there's the food. The airport chose local eateries for its food service. Visitors can select from Long Beach favorites like McKenna's by the Bay (called McKenna's on the Fly), Taco Beach Cantina and George's Greek Café and eat on site or take their food to eat on the plane. The 4th Street Vine wine bar boasts a large selection of wines and tapas, which travelers can enjoy next to an outdoor fire pit. Rodriguez said it's the only fire pit he knows of at an airport. All of them are within the secure area of the terminal.
Security has been streamlined to the point that the average wait is four minutes – maybe seven minutes at peak periods. That poses a problem.
"People think they can arrive 20 minutes before their flight boards," Rodriguez said. "We'd like them to come a little earlier and maybe have lunch."
A long journey
For years, many local travelers valued the circa 1940 airport, variously described as cute and vintage, because they did not have to battle the crowds and traffic at larger facilities such as Los Angeles International Airport. But that convenience came at a price.
"If you have more than an hour wait, this becomes the unforgettable layover at the 'trailer park' airport," wrote one commenter on Yelp.
The airport expansion faced opposition from people living in nearby homes before the city finally began construction of the new concourse in 2010, just as airlines were consolidating and cutting back flights.
There was also the question of cost. Moody's, the credit rating agency, rated the airport's bonds A2 in its most recent evaluation in 2010. That placed the bonds in the upper medium rating range and indicated a low credit risk.

The True Cost of Bearing Lubrication
- Tuesday, 01 April 2014
Please Login at the top
of the page to download.
Today, machine and equipment manufacturers are feeling more pressure than ever to reduce costs without sacrificing machine performance and this balancing act can be difficult to achieve. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) often overlook a simple solution that can have a positive, long-term impact on profitability for themselves and their customers: the elimination of bearing lubricant. By eliminating lubrication systems where possible, OEMs can reduce production costs, while at the same time making their equipment more marketable and less expensive to operate for the end users.
In this white paper Matt Mowry, National DryLin Linear Bearings Product Manager at igus®, discusses how bearing lubrication failures affect your budget and the environment. Key Take-Aways include: Understand the hidden and unrealized costs of lubricating and re-lubricating a bearing, Understand how improper bearing lubrication can increase expenses exponentially, Discover how dry-running, self-lubricating bearings can make machines operate better and reduce your budget.

RYAN VREDE watched the All Blacks take a step closer to ending their World Cup misery with a 20-6 victory over Australia at Eden Park.
Surely now. Surely the suffering will end. Surely the team that has so often betrayed the faithfulness of their long-suffering fans, nay, disciples, will claim the one prize they most covet.
France lie in wait in the final. On the evidence of their woeful performance in victory over Wales last night they will not live with this flawed but formidable team and its superlative players – Israel Dagg chief among those.
On current form Dagg is without peer in the game, possessing every technical gift on offer, and, more pertinently, the temperament for the biggest occasions. All those qualities were on show as he crafted their only try, beating three would-be tacklers then defying the laws of physics to offload a pass to Ma'a Nonu while plummeting into touch. Breathtaking is a word too liberally used to describe mediocre feats. It is inadequate for that inspired action.
Dagg was the headline act in a play with a range of compelling sub-plots, none more so than the vendetta against a son of New Zealand's soil, Quade Cooper. It took 32 minutes for the flyhalf to do something right (a drop-goal), the preceding period being spent chastising himself for errors or peeling himself off the canvas from statement hits.
While Cooper's star waned, his counterpart Aaron Cruden's shone brightly. In the context of his Test career – its genesis seeing coach Graham Henry hailing him as the natural successor to Daniel Carter, and its nadir coming when he was unceremoniously dumped shortly thereafter, before being recently recalled – his was a mature effort, particularly in light of the magnitude of the occasion and the quality of the opposition.
But in a game shaped by the principle of cause and effect, Cruden's ability to rock rested heavily on the shift put in by his roadies in shirts one through eight. Immovable at the gainline on defence and irresistible on attack, the Blacks' heavies were mighty. Their spirit was encapsulated in the superb performance of Richie McCaw, who excelled despite his foot being held together by hope and some items found in a mechanic's toolbox. 'I know he will try to be modest and give credit to the tight five [for laying the platform], but he was just outstanding,' coach Graham Henry said of McCaw.
Australia boast a player of Dagg's calibre in openside flank David Pocock, who appears to possess the supernatural gift of omnipresence. But he was rendered a non-factor at the breakdown thanks to the efficiency of the Blacks' strike runners and cleaners.
It would be remiss not to acknowledge the Wallabies' unkillable spirit in the face of incessant pressure. It was the outstanding feature of their game against the Springboks last week, and they exhibited that again tonight. To restrict the Blacks to one try is a notable achievement given the hosts' surfeit of territory and possession. However, they lacked a clinical edge in the 22m, which was decisive to their fortunes.
That they were in touch at half-time – trailing 14-6 – bore testament to their resolve as much as it did the Blacks' frequent impatience on attack. But they did little more than survive, when reopening the psychological wounds the Blacks sport from previous failures in this tournament required considerably more.
Just after the restart Piri Weepu kicked his third penalty to go with a Cruden drop goal, extending the lead to 11 points. There was a observable change in focus from the Blacks thereafter, with panache giving way to pragmatism on attack and granitic defence being the bedrock of their resistance.
Australia succumbed, albeit not meekly, to a team who have no equal in the game. France are vastly inferior opponents. For the Blacks, ending their suffering will be more a test of exorcising their own demons than it will be about vanquishing Lievremont's mad mob.

Comments about Dimension Threadless Road Stem:
Dimension gets knocked as an "off brand," but I don't personally see the sense in paying $50+ for a stem, especially while trying to get fitted to the bike properly. I like the redesigned logo on this stem, it's reasonably light, and it works perfectly. I'm very happy with it, and for the price I didn't have to feel so nervous about plunking down some money to try and get a better fit on my road bike.

Mr. Wells, in The World of William Clissold, presents, not precisely his own mind as it has developed on the basis of his personal experience and way of life, but—shifting his angle—a point of view based on an experience mainly different from his own, that of a successful, emancipated, semi-scientific, not particularly high-brow, English business man. The result is not primarily a work of art.
Political satire in America is for the moment the monopoly of Will Rogers. Others may practice it for tiny audiences; his is as near to the sum total of the "picture reading public" as anyone can come. The paraphernalia of gum and lariat which helped him in the Follies is now partly laid away; he is on a vastly popular lecture tour; he broadcasts; he writes for the Saturday Evening Post; he publishes books. He has only to write a play and create a comic strip to become universal.
Banzai, by John Paris, New York: Boni and Liveright. $2.50. The author, at one time attached to the British embassy in Tokyo and writing under the name of John Paris, knows well certain phases of Japanese life. In Banzai he indicates his familiarity with geisha and yoshiwara problems, with student life and restaurants. But Banzai is much more trivial than the author's previous novels of Japanese life, Kimono and Sayonara.
Pushkin, by Prince D. S. Mirsky. New York: E. P. Dutton and Company. 266 pages. $2.50. Gogol, by Janko Lavrin. New York: E. P. Dutton and Company. 263 pages. $2.50. The Republic of Letters series, under the editorship of Dr. William Rose, was recently inaugurated with Mr. Aldington's admirable study of the life and genius of Voltaire.
Joan of Arc, by Joseph Delteil. Translated from the French by Malcolm Cowley. New York: Minton, Batch and Company. 268 pages. $3. There are many kinds of biography in these days of its vogue: one might almost say that Joan of Arc has been subjected to them all. There is the factual volume of Michelet from whose "excellent formula there is lacking the obscure part of God"; there is the sturdy attack of Anatole France and the glowing defense of Andrew Lang. There is Mark Twain's imaginative romance based on twelve years' accumulation of facts; there is Mr.
New England in the Republic, 1776-1850, by James Truslow Adams. Boston: Little, Brown and Company. 438 pages. $5. With this volume Mr. Adams completes his trilogy on the destiny of that corner of our country in which physiographical, psychological, political and moral influences combined to produce and to perpetuate for two 'and a half centuries the most pronounced, self-conscious example of sectionalism in our history. I use the word trilogy in a more specific sense than the designation of a three-volume work merely, for there is in Mr.

This set is the perfect blend of scents. I brought this for my teenage daughter and I fell in love myself. I actually ordered one of the bottles for myself. The bubble gum display is adorable. My daughter took the perfume out the bubble gum machine and added a teddy bear. I highly recommend this set. Not just for the look but all three perfumes smell yummy!

Cemetery notes and/or description:
Oak Ridge Cemetery is the largest cemetery in Illinois at 365 acres and is the second most visited cemetery in the United States. Home of President Abraham Lincoln's Tomb, this active cemetery's first burial was in 1858. The cemetery was officially dedicated on May 24, 1860 and it was reported that Abraham Lincoln and his wife were present at the dedication of the cemetery.
Oak Ridge is the burial home of many settlers of Springfield and Sangamon County and state and local officials. For many years the cemetery was segregated as to both color and religion so some areas tend to represent one race, religion or social status. There are several war memorials and a newly dedicated area for the Home of the Friendless residents who were buried there in the late 1800s.
Several cemeteries were closed and the remains moved to Oak Ridge over a span of many years. Those include: Hutchinson, Old City Graveyard, Avenue, Kelly, Lanterman, Lightfoot, Elliott, Dunn and Schamel cemeteries.
Oak Ridge consists of over 50 sections and 75,000 burials. The office is open 8 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. weekdays and 8:00 a.m. – noon on Saturdays (March through November). The staff is very helpful in providing burial locations and should be contacted for plot information when requesting a photo.
Other cemeteries that were moved to Oak Ridge Cemetery include Cotton Hill Cemetery, Springfield, Illinois; Clear Lake Cemetery, Springfield, Illinois; Old High School City Cemetery, Springfield, Illinois; Crowder Cemetery, Springfield, Illinois; Home of the Friendless Cemetery.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Student Support Services is a project designed to help students maximize their academic potential and achieve their academic and personal goals. Our program provides the encouragement, information, and positive support that make our offices a "home away from home" for our students.
"The SSS program has assisted me with the adjustment to college. Not having my parents around was hard to get used to and it was nice knowing that there was someone I could always go talk to if I needed anything.
""SSS is an amazing place to grow and overcome your fears about college. Join today!"
Priority is given to students who meet two of the following criteria
A first-generation college student
Any student whose parent/guardian did not receive a bachelor's degree.
Financial Need
A student whose family meets federal income eligibility guidelines. Students are encouraged to apply even if you believe your family doesn't qualify.
A student with a disability
You are considered a student with a disability if you have verified documentation on file with the Student Ability Services Office. For more information, contact Student Ability Service at 715-425-0740.
Acceptance into the program is contingent upon meeting eligibility criteria and space availability.
Click here for 2015-16 SSS Application
OR Call 715-425-3531 or stop by Room 105 Davee Library and request an application.
You will be contacted once eligibility has been determined.
Student Support Services is funded by a federal TRIO grant in the total amount of $292,337 for the 2014-15 program year. This funding accounts for 100% of the project's total costs.
The project is funded by the United States Department of Education under the Title IV Higher Education Act of 1965 and serves 200 eligible students at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
By providing key services, SSS improves the retention and graduation of the students it serves. Services are free to U.S. citizens or permanent residents who meet eligibility guidelines, as determined by the U.S. Department of Education.

Diabetes has been in the national spotlight in the last two weeks, thanks to Paula Deen.
The "Queen of Southern Cuisine" came out of the kitchen broom closet on national television by admitting she has Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes.
Diagnosed in 2008, Deen didn't made her condition public until Jan. 17, while simultaneously revealing she is the new paid spokesperson for a non-insulin Type 2 diabetes medication for adults.
I have to hand it to the estimated 7,700 residents of Rockland, Maine.
They saw snow Monday, ice pellets on Tuesday and went outside this morning to a temperature of about 7 degrees.
In the upcoming days, the residents of the coastal town will see more snow and rain. Weather like that doesn't generate many smiles. It's not something to celebrate.
But Rockland residents will be celebrating Sunday afternoon with its annual Pies on Parade to commemorate National Pie Day on Monday.
Having a successful career means a lot to Stephanie O'Dea.
But in the big picture, being a successful mom means more, especially when that family includes three children under age 10, including one with Celiac disease (gluten intolerant).
But can you have both?
How else can you explain a cookbook on the New York Times best-selling list for six weeks and national TV appearances, as well as feature stories in "Real Simple Magazine and "Woman's World?"
Don't be afraid to substitute herbs and spices
From time to time, every cook gets into a pinch when there is no pinch of cumin in the cupboard.
Before going out to buy more, see if there are other alternatives that will work just as well.
It not only saves money, but eliminates waste by using another herb or spice in a way that serves the same purpose. It could also keep you from buying a herb or spice you will only use once.
Terrell Springs started off 2012 by making a mad dash to Lancaster from Great Falls in the wee hours of the morning.
No, the trip wasn't in the New Year's Day plans of he and his girlfriend, Ashley Boulware. However, their daughter, Telia Alani Springs, couldn't wait.
"I had the emergency flashers on all the way," he said.
Chef Nancy Hughes hopes you're hungry.
The author of "15-Minute Diabetic Meals" and the "The 4-Ingredient Diabetes Cookbook" has put together an easy-to-make Molasses Drumsticks with Soy Sauce recipe that's finger-licking, lip-smacking good.
"The molasses gives it a deep, earthy sweetness. It's like a real dark, rummy brown sugar," Hughes said in an instructional video posted on the American Diabetes Association website.
A simple food suited for paper plates and disposable utensils has once again become the rage in trendy, high-end restaurants.
Sliders – small, three-bite burgers – have two personalties, said David Gerard Hogan, a professor of American history at Heidelberg College in Ohio.
According to Hogan, author of "Selling 'em by the Sack: White Castle and the Creation of American Food," sliders have become a "bifurcated" food, enjoyed by both the upscale and working class.
Editor's note: Cole Waddell is a Lancaster resident who was living in New York City during the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. He moved back here in 2005. This is the third part of a three-part series about Southerners who shared Christmas dinner there each year.

Homemade cookies can make a lasting impression.

Product Data
About Chainrings
Chainrings are fitted to the crank arms and come in single, double or triple configuration. Most geared bikes use a 3/32 inch width, whereas 1/8 inch is the popular choice for track bikes and some single speeds due to its increased strength which is needed when riding a fixed wheel. Chainrings are available in a number of formats, these are known as PCD's (Pitch Circle Diameter) or BCD's (Bolt Circle Diameter), this is the spacing of the bolts that secure the rings to the crank arms. Common sizes are 74mm inner ring Shimano MTB, 110mm middle and outer for Shimano MTB, 110mm for most compact chainsets to allow for the smaller ring combo's, 130mm for Standard Shimano Road and 135mm for Standard Campagnolo road chainsets.

Is this chainring designed to be used on a bike with derailleur gears or is it suitable for my single-speed?
