The Kentucky volleyball team has been playing the part of 18-time defending Southeastern Conference champion Florida for weeks. On Wednesday, it got a taste of what it feels like to be out in front.
With a target firmly on their backs, the Cats finally let a conference match slip through their paws. UK fell Wednesday night to Tennessee, 3-1, dropping to 19-2 on the season, 9-1 in conference play.
If anyone thought UK was going to march through the rugged SEC undefeated, think again. The league is too good and league play is too long to hope for that.
But aside from the pain, the loss of sole possession of first place and the disappointment of the largest crowd of the season, Wednesday's loss might have been a firsthand lesson the Cats actually needed to win this season's conference crown.
If UK didn't know what it felt like to be the hunted, it surely does now. After years of playing the part of the hunter, it's clear to head coach Craig Skinner and his team what they will need to do if they're going to adopt the role of the hunted and break Florida's streak.
"We need to be tougher," Skinner said. "We need to be tougher and handle pressure that other teams give us. Everyone wants to beat us. That's obvious, and we've got to be able to handle that better."
Sure, no one wants to lose, especially to a team like Tennessee, which abruptly ended UK's chance at a conference title last year on the final day of the regular season.
"I don't think this one has anything to do with last year," Skinner said. "I think they outplayed us tonight. We had too many hitting errors - 29 hitting errors over a game - and we had one player get twice as many swings as everybody else on our roster. You can't do that and beat good teams."
But the loss might do UK a little good. Maybe it makes them stronger. Maybe it makes them tougher. Maybe it's that one final subtle reminder that Skinner has been preaching to his team all season long: every single game counts towards a conference championship.
And the Cats now know that.
The good news/bad news scenario is that LSU is next on the schedule.
The bad news is that LSU is on a tear - LSU hasn't lost since dropping the match to Kentucky a month ago - and is now tied with UK for the conference lead.
The good news is UK can take sole possession of the conference lead right back in a potential league-deciding match. There's a lot of riding on Saturday's game, but every match is big from here on out. Every game counts in a championship run.
"I think that we don't really change anything about what we do," Skinner said. "We've done the same thing training wise and teaching all season long. It's about executing and we did not do that and Tennessee did that better than us."
On Wednesday Tennessee was the better team. If the Cats are worthy of the SEC championship, it'll be the perfect reminder of what it takes to stay in front.

History & Hauntings of Fort Brown
<< Previous 1
2 Next >>
Fort Brown, Harper's Weekly, 1861
Fort Brown (1846-1944) -
Established in 1846 as the first U.S. military post in
General Zachary Taylor arrived at the site in March, 1846 to occupy the
territory that was claimed by both the United States and Mexico. The
initial fort was an earthen fortification constructed by
Taylor's troops
and called "Fort Texas."
Taylor marched a large portion of his troops to Point
Isabel (now Port Isabel), he left a garrison, under the command of Major
Jacob Brown, to guard the fort. Taking advantage of the situation, the
Mexican Army attacked the fort, sending part of their force to engage the
main portion of
Taylor's force as it returned from Point Isabel.
defeated the Mexicans at the Battle of Palo Alto on May 8, 1856 and at
Resaca de la Palma the next day. These engagements were the first battles
of the
Mexican-American War, and the most important battles of the war fought on
U.S. soil. Following these defeats, the Mexican Army fled back across the
Rio Grande River. The fort was renamed Fort Brown in honor of Major Brown,
who was killed in its defense.
Federal troops left the fort with
Texas' secession from the
Union during the
Civil War. It was then occupied by Confederate Colonel
John "Rip" Ford and his troops until 1863 when they were finally driven
out by Union forces under General Nathaniel P. Banks, who then camped in
tents erected at the fort site. However, in 1864, Confederate forces under
General J. S. Slaughter and Colonel Ford reoccupied the area and held the
. post until the end of the war.
In 1867, a permanent fort was constructed under the supervision of
Capt. William A. Wainwright. The post remained active into the 21st
century, often manned by regiments of
On August 13 and 14, 1906 the Brownsville Raid occurred, in
which several unknown individuals raided the city, indiscriminately shooting
up the town, killing one man and wounding another.
The townspeople quickly
blamed the black soldiers stationed at nearby Fort Brown and, when the
Army investigated the matter, they came to the same conclusion. The
Secretary of War, William H. Taft, then discharged all 168
black soldiers "without honor." It would be another sixty years
before a second investigation
was held and the black soldiers had their honor restored. However, by
then, only two of the original 168 men were still alive. Historians today
believe that the real culprits who shot up the town, used the same
caliber ammunition as the soldiers, in order to frame them.
On April 20, 1915, the first U.S. military airplane to
be attacked by hostile fire came from Fort Brown. The plane, manned by Officers Byron Q. Jones and Thomas
Millings, were looking to spot movements of
Mexican Revolutionary leader Francisco "Pancho" Villa. Though,
it did not cross the
border into Mexico, it was fired upon by machine guns and small arms.
The post remained active through World War II,
but decommissioned in 1944. In 1948, the land was acquired by the City of
Brownsville and Texas Southmost College. The fort buildings were sold or
donated to various organizations and schools in the Brownsville area. There
are several buildings that
remain dating from the post-Civil War
era, many of which are located on the University of Texas at Brownsville and
Texas Southmost Jr. College campuses. A
small portion of the earthwork fort remains as well.

Dear Friends:
This week was State Employee Recognition Week, and I was proud to honor the Department of Business and Professional Regulation employees who work so hard every day.
For the past two years, we've held an Employee Appreciation Awards Ceremony to recognize those who go above and beyond the call of duty. This Wednesday, we were surprised by our special guest, Lt. Governor Jeff Kottkamp, who joined me to recognize outstanding public servants at DBPR.
As the DBPR leadership team handed out popcorn to employees, the Lt. Governor, Chief of Staff Charlie Liem and I presented awards to employees who were nominated by their peers, directors, Chief of Staff and me for exemplary performance.
The Secretary's Award of Merit was presented to employees for upholding the vision for the department with incredible teamwork and customer service; the Chief of Staff Award of Merit was presented to employees who do not "pass the buck," take responsibility for their work, and put the department first; the Red Rover Award was presented to employees who cross division lines in the spirit of teamwork to help another division do the best possible job.
The most highly esteemed award is the 2009 Employee of the Year, and this year's recipient was Alicia Bevis from the Office of Budget and Financial Management. Among many accomplishments, Alicia's proactive and thorough work in analyzing the postage process directly resulted in the Division of Profession recouping $142,000. Alicia is highly motivated to understand the budget process in order to make improvements. She's intelligent, resourceful and a true team player.
If you've worked with a DBPR employee who's made a difference in your life, please take the time to thank him or her. This week is a time to show Florida's public servants appreciation, and DBPR is fortunate to have such wonderful employees.
For those of you who will be celebrating your mothers, grandmothers and wives this Mother's Day, I wish you the best. This weekend is a great time to recognize the women who are committed to nurturing and guiding our children.
Charles W. Drago

At his summit this week with European Union leaders, President Obama acknowledged the economic stake the United States has in Europe's unfolding sovereign-debt crisis. "If Europe is having difficulties, then it's much more difficult for us to create good jobs here at home," he said.
But the euro crisis is not simply an economic crisis. It is a foreign- and security-policy crisis. And it poses a grave challenge to the strategic interests of the United States.
Why? The looming default on sovereign debt by one or more eurozone countries could well lead to a Japanese-style "lost decade" in Europe marked by stagnant economic growth.
A weakened, distracted Europe would prove an unreliable ally for the U.S. It would mean a Europe even less able to defend itself, one that cuts back on foreign aid, that is less able to stand up to Russian energy blackmail, that is hesitant to impose trade sanctions to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions, and is reluctant to work with Washington in dealing with China.
The strategic fallout from the euro crisis will affect U.S. geopolitical interests for years to come, undermining the transatlantic alliance that has been the cornerstone of U.S. security policy for two generations, accelerating America's drift toward an Asian-centric foreign posture.
"A Europe that is not united," warned Simon Serfaty, a scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, "is, by definition, less strong. And a Europe that is less strong will become increasingly less vital to the United States in the 2010s, when American power will need to rely on allies that are not only willing, but capable."
An economically hobbled Europe will be unable to help pay for its own defense, just at the very moment when the U.S. is going to have to get even more serious about defense cuts and deficit reduction.
In 2010, the United States devoted 4.8 percent of its gross domestic product to defense. The United Kingdom spent 2.7 percent, and Germany 1.3 percent. So a burden-sharing gap already exists.
In the wake of the euro crisis, with budgetary austerity the watchword in all European capitals, "no state will be able to protect its defense sector from savings measures," noted Christian Mölling in a recent paper for the Berlin think tank SWP.
Since 2008, European nations already have cut military spending by an amount equivalent to the entire annual defense budget of Germany. This translates into real reductions in defense capacity. The United Kingdom is phasing out its troop deployment in Germany, mothballing one planned aircraft carrier and leaving the other with no planes to land on it for several years.
The German government will reduce personnel in the armed forces from 250,000 to 185,000. The Luftwaffe will curtail its planned acquisition of Eurofighters. And its fleet of military transport aircraft will be reduced, giving Germany less expeditionary capability.
Over time, predicts Mölling, defense belt tightening will result in 27 bonsai armies in Europe, miniature versions of an armed force less and less able to accomplish strategic missions. The cost of shortchanging defense was already evident in the Libyan conflict, where Britain and France would not have been able to carry out their successful mission without U.S. munitions. Imagine a similar crisis in a decade with shrunken European defense forces and a smaller U.S. military.
More broadly, the euro crisis will undermine Europe's pivotal role as a democratic, free-market model for its immediate neighbors.
"The idea of the EU and the euro was that affluence would be created and shared," said Charles Kupchan, a senior fellow at the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations. "Now that is fading. Instead of delivering affluence, the EU now delivers austerity and pain."
Nowhere is this more evident than in Greece. Athens had a military dictatorship from 1967 to 1974. And one of the reasons Greece was admitted to the European Union in 1981 was to cement democratic governance there.
"For the Greeks," said Serfaty, "getting into the EU was a way to end political instability and an undemocratic threat that defined Greece in the past. Being forced out of Europe would resurrect those things. Moreover, it would define an easy way out for other states with potential populist leadership."
Finally, European weakness could dash all U.S. hopes for transatlantic cooperation in dealing with China. European governments hoping to sell Beijing sovereign debt have already come under pressure to back off antidumping cases aimed at Chinese companies. As Francois Godement pointed out in a new paper for the European Council on Foreign Relations: "Although the U.S. has borrowed extensively from China for a decade without making major concessions, European disunity on debt management will make it a struggle for the EU to avoid such concessions to Beijing."
"The downside risk," said Kupchan, "is that the U.S. will find itself navigating a new East Asia map very much on its own."
America navigating the world without Europe? Who would have imagined that the euro, meant to cement European unity, would become so damaged that the transatlantic alliance itself would be harmed?

Don Garlits Museum shortlisted for IHMA Museum of the Year award
Photo by Tom VanNortwick.
Even today, at 83 years of age, drag racing legend Don Garlits can still be seen around his Museum of Drag Racing. After all, it's pretty much right in his backyard, and he works out of a shop on the premises. It's a pack rat's paradise, full of cars that Don restored himself and memorabilia that he picked up over his lengthy career. All of Garlits's work has appeared to pay off with a nomination for the International Historic Motoring Awards's Museum of the Year award.
Founded after seeing Lord Montagu's museum while on tour in England in 1976, the museum was initially just a collection of his own cars in a building right next to his home in Ocala, Florida. "I didn't sell many of my cars because I didn't want the competition to learn my secrets," Garlits said. "Plus, if one of my experimental cars failed, I'd want to have a backup on hand." Then, in the early 1980s, his wife Pat asked what they'd do with the museum when he retired, so Garlits decided then to move it to its current location.
Today, the museum includes about 300 cars distributed between two buildings—one for muscle cars and other production cars of interest to Garlits, the other for dedicated drag racing vehicles, including many of his own Swamp Rats, at least a couple of Connie Kalitta's Bounty Hunters, a Craig Breedlove-built Spirit of America dragster, Tommy Ivo's twin-engine dragster, Jim Lytle's Big Al II Allison-powered 1934 Ford, and cars raced by Bruce Larson, Shirley Muldowney, the Bean Bandits, and many others.
An extensive collection of Hemi V-8s and other speed equipment intermingles with the cars and dragsters. Even the remains of the transmission that blew off part of Garlits's right foot in the 1970 accident that led Garlits to switch to rear-engine dragsters are on display. "It traces the sport back to the Forties," Garlits said. "Other than the NHRA Motorsport Museum, if there's any other museum out there this devoted to drag racing, I don't know about it."
What's more, Garlits has made the museum the home of his International Drag Racing Hall of Fame since 1991, and since then, has inducted more than 250 people instrumental to the sport of drag racing, including the Chrisman brothers, C.J. Hart, Don Nicholson, Mickey Thompson, Ronnie Sox, Wally Parks, Tom McEwen, Don Prudhomme, and both himself and Pat Garlits.
"It's quite an honor to make that shortlist," Garlits said.
As opposed to the International Historic Motoring Awards' Car of the Year category, which only saw one American car nominated this year, the shortlist for the Museum of the Year category only has one non-American museum, the Haynes International Motoring Museum, which re-opened earlier this year in Somerset in the United Kingdom to showcase the collection of Haynes Manuals founder John Haynes. Other museums up for the award include the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, which won the award in the inaugural International Historic Motoring Awards in 2011; the Blackhawk Automotive Museum in Danville, California; and the LeMay – America's Car Museum in Tacoma, Washington.
The National Motor Museum in Beaulieu and the Louwman Museum in the Netherlands have won the award each of the last two years.
The International Historic Motoring Awards dinner will take place November 20 at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London. For more information, visit HistoricMotoringAwards.com.
UPDATE (24.November): In IHMA voting, Don Garlits' Museum of Drag Racing lost out to the Haynes International Motor Museum in Somerset, UK, which took home Museum of the Year honors.
Ferraris to stretch their legs for Simeone Museum's Demonstration Days

Most automobile museums rely on static displays to paint a picture of a particular car's role in history. The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is no different, but it also uses "Driving Demonstration Days" to provide a bit of living history. On Saturday, April 12, the Simeone's demo days will pay tribute to legendary Italian automaker Ferrari, and guests will have the opportunity to see and hear six racing Ferraris run on the museum's back lot.
In addition to the museum's 1954 Ferrari 375MM and 1958 250 Testa Rossa, attendees will also get to experience a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, on loan to the museum, along with owner-supplied examples of a Ferrari Monza, 250 LM, and 365 GTB/4 Competition. The program begins at noon with a presentation on Enzo Ferrari, his automobiles and the importance of racing to the brand; weather permitting, live demonstrations will follow.

The Ferrari Demo Day also kicks off the museum's 2014 Best of Italy exhibit, which runs from April 12 through April 27 and honors the 100th anniversary of Maserati. Fans of Italian automobiles won't be disappointed, as the exhibit is set to include an Alfa Romeo 8C; an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint; an Alfa Romeo 1900SS Zagato; a De Tomaso Pantera; a Dino 246GT; a Fiat Bianchina; a Fiat X 1/9; a Fiat 500; a Lancia Pininfarina Coupe; a Lamborghini 400GT; a Lamborghini Aventador; a Lamborghini Jarama GTS; a Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole; a Maserati Grand Prix; a Maserati 4200 Spider; and a Maserati Ghibli Spyder.
Other upcoming Demonstration Days events at the Simeone Museum include What was the Mille Miglia, scheduled for April 26; 80 Years of Jaguar, scheduled for May 24; Pantheons of Style, scheduled for June 14; Auto Racing: A Privileged Man's Sport, scheduled for June 28; duPont: Delaware Valley's Most Prestigious Maker of Luxury Cars, scheduled for July 12; World Champions, scheduled for July 26; Racing in Style, scheduled for August 9; Stingray: Why is it Our Favorite Corvette?, scheduled for August 23; The Driving Force, scheduled for September 27; When NASCAR was for Real Stock Cars, scheduled for October 11; How did Brooklands Save So Many Cars?, scheduled for October 25; Corvette Racing Legends with Doug Fehan, scheduled for November 1; and People's Choice, scheduled for November 29.

Hurley Haywood wins Simeone Foundation's Spirit of Competition award

Each year, the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum hosts an annual fundraiser that echoes the theme of the foundation itself, "the spirit of competition." The evening also includes the presentation of the Spirit of Competition Award, given to a driver who embodies the theme with a specific inspirational message. This year's honoree is Hurley Haywood, whose message is, "If you have one ounce of energy left, then you haven't done your job properly."
Haywood is no stranger to victory lane, having won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1977 (driving a Porsche 936), 1983 (driving a Porsche 956) and 1994 (driving a Dauer 962 Le Mans). His five wins in the 24 Hours of Daytona were a record until Scott Pruett also reached this milestone in 2013, and Haywood has represented IMSA in the International Race of Champions four times. Haywood is a two-time winner of the 12 Hours of Sebring, and competed in the 1980 running of the Indianapolis 500, where he started 25th, but finished 18th after retiring on lap 128. Now retired from racing, Haywood splits his time between Jacksonville, Florida's, Brumos Porsche (where he is vice president) and the Porsche Sport Driving School at Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, Alabama (where he is chief driving instructor).
Past award winners have included Mario Andretti ("If you think you have everything under control, you're driving too slow"); Janet Guthrie ("Racing is a matter of spirit, not strength"); John Cooper Fitch ("I have risked everything of value, including life itself, being stimulated by what can be stated simply as the pursuit of achievement"); Craig Breedlove ("I can go a thousand miles an hour on land"); and Sam Posey ("The happiest and proudest person I can be exists in a few fleeting moments of achievement behind the wheel").
The sixth annual Simeone Museum awards dinner will take place in Philadelphia on Wednesday, November 20. For more information, visit SimeoneMuseum.org.
Postwar Buick Super Series 50 sells for $6,050 at Bonhams Philadelphia sale
1946 Buick
Special Series 40 Super Series 50. Images courtesy of Bonhams Auctions.
The recent Bonhams auction at the Simeone Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, with its focus on preservation cars, had no shortage of high-end motorcars, but there were a few sub-$10,000 cars among the lots as well. Perhaps the best example was a 1946 Buick
Special Series 40 Super Series 50 with its original paint and just 50,400 miles on the odometer, which sold for $6,050 including the buyer's premium.
The stately sedan was delivered new to a funeral director, who used the car sparingly while carefully maintaining its exterior, interior and mechanicals. In the early 1970s, the Buick was acquired by a Pennsylvania collector and used car dealer, who kept the car on the road until 1977. Believed to be in storage since, the car appears to be in very good condition overall, as evidenced by its original headliner and well-preserved seats.
Though the 1946 Buicks were essentially a "carry over" design from 1942, American luxury car buyers hungry for new cars in the aftermath of World War II didn't seem to care. The division produced 158,728 cars during the 1946 model year, with the bulk being Series 50 and Roadmaster models. A total of 77,724 Super Series 50 models were built (including 3,679 for export), each powered by the same 110hp 248-cu.in. inline eight-cylinder engine used in the Series 40. While not particularly rare, the well-preserved original condition of this Buick sedan did make it especially desirable.
1934 Aston Martin 1 1/2-Liter Sports 2/4 Seater, formerly owned by Bill Cosby.
Cars in the top 10 included a 1934 Aston Martin 1-1/2-Litre Sports 2/4 Seater, from the collection of Bill Cosby, which sold for $264,000; a 1910 Peerless Model 29 Park Phaeton/Victoria, once owned by Doris Duke, which sold for $231,000; a 1966 Aston Martin DB6 Vantage with a three-owner history, which sold for $198,000; a 1911 Stoddard Dayton Model 11A Five Passenger Touring in unrestored condition, which sold for $148,500; a 1904 Knox 16/18hp "Touraine" 4-Passenger Stanhope, which sold for $143,000; a 1910 Packard Model 18 4-Passenger Touring Car, which sold for $129,800; a 1964 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2, which sold for $125,400; a 1986 Aston Martin V8 Volante, which sold for $110,000; a 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE Roadster, which sold for $104,500; and a 1934 Packard 1101 Eight 7 Passenger Touring, which sold for $90,200.
1932 Pierce-Arrow Eight Model 54.
The Buick
Special Series 40 Super Series 50 wasn't the only bargain of the auction. Buyers also took home a 1974 MG Midget 1500 MkIII Roadster, which sold for $4,950; a 1932 Pierce-Arrow Eight Model 54 5-Passenger Sedan in unrestored condition, which sold for $4,620; a 1910 Sears Model G Runabout missing its engine and transmission, which sold for $3,850; a 1951 Packard Henney 'Nu-3-Way' Hearse, which sold for $3,410; and a 1929 Packard Standard Eight Series 626 Five Passenger Sedan, which sold for $2,420.

One-of-seven Bizzarrini to emerge from Simeone Museum for Collector Car Appreciation Day

While the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum trots its cars out for a little exercise once a month or so, it takes something extra special for any of the cars on exhibit at the museum to leave the property for a showing. That something extra special is this year's National Collector Car Appreciation Day, and that car is the 1967 Bizzarrini P538 on display there.
One of only seven such cars ever built, the Bizzarrini was designed in 1966 with the hope of running at Le Mans in 1967 before FIA homologation rules stymied the project. The design work was led by Giotto Bizzarrini, whose portfolio also included shepherding the 250 GTO for Ferrari, plus the Iso Grifo A3C. This P538, owned by New Jersey resident Van Horneff, is one of two powered by a Lamborghini V-12 fed by six Weber carburetors, producing 420hp.
On Friday, the Bizzarrini will head east from the museum in Philadelphia to Cherry Hill, New Jersey, where American Collectors Insurance will host a car show celebrating Collector Car Appreciation Day, an annual event that recognizes the impact the collector car hobby has had on American culture. Made possible by U.S. Senate resolution 176, Collector Car Appreciation Day officially recognizes the fact "that the collection and restoration of historic and classic cars is an important part of preserving the technological achievements and cultural heritage of the United States."
ACI's show will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at its offices at 496 Kings Highway North in Cherry Hill, a few miles east of Philadelphia between state highways 38 and 70. The rain date is Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. For more information, visit AmericanCollectors.com/NCCAD/.

Simeone spotlights Saab
Photo courtesy Simeone Museum.
You've just got to go wild when a major museum loaded with great cars decides to have a show with something as delightfully off the wall as Saab as its centerpiece. That, however, is what the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia has on deck, beginning February 23 and running through March 17. The presentation is entitled The Saab Spirit Lives On, and will include 18 cars from the personal collection of Bill Jacobson, the owner of Sports Car Service in Wilmington, Delaware, and a top Saab restorer who has been profiled in Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car.
Among the featured Saabs will be Bill's one-of-six 1956 Sonett 1, a Barber Saab Pro Series formula car and a 1996 Saab Talladega Challenge 900. The event actually gets under way on Friday, February 22, with an evening launch party centered on a talk by Victor Muller, the founder of Spyker Cars and the final CEO of Saab before it entered bankruptcy, discussing his efforts to revive the Swedish icon.

Sam Posey has been more than just a fiercely good racing driver. He's also been an Emmy-award winning broadcaster, an architect (designing the paddock building near his home at Lime Rock Park, which he was the first driver to lap in less than a minute), a painter, an author, and a deadly serious model railroader. He's also been the subject of two Hemmings features on his career (see HMM #22, July 2005, and HSX #82, June 2012). For all of his achievements, Sam is about to achieve a singular distinction, receiving the Spirit of Competition Award during a dinner at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia.

The award is presented annually and Sam will be its fifth recipient, after Mario Andretti, Janet Guthrie, John Fitch and land speed hero Craig Breedlove. The dinner is set for Wednesday, December 5. Tickets are $175 for individuals and $275 for couples. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit SimeoneMuseum.org. By the way, keep your eye on the pages of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car for a forthcoming story on this wonderful museum and its founder, Dr. Fred Simeone.

As if that weren't enough, Sam has also been selected as the honored guest at next year's Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, set for March 9-11. Another gala dinner, this one by invitation only, will honor Sam on the Saturday evening of that event. For more information, visit AmeliaConcours.org.
Unrestored Citroen Sahara sells for record $142,500
Photo courtesy Bonhams.
To provide context, let's start out by describing this car. It's a 1965 Citroen Sahara. If you think it looks like a 2CV, you're absolutely right. Only there's a difference. The Sahara was a four-wheel-drive variation on the 2CV, which required a pair of 425cc engines to be installed, the second one at the rear. The Sahara could operate on a single engine if need be, both controlled through dual hydraulic clutches. Just 694 of them were built, most purchased by Spanish police or used by rescue teams in the Alps.
Not many survive, and here's the proof. At its very unique auction of unrestored vehicles, held at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, Bonhams offered this complete but raw Sahara, the eighth from last produced by Citroen. It was bought new off the display floor at the 1965 New York Auto Show by Alexis du Pont, whose family used it for noodling around their estate on Block Island, off the coast of Rhode Island. It still wore its original Michelin tires and had an honest 6,000 kilometers showing. The Sahara sold for – are you ready? – $142,500, an unchallenged world record for one of these very basic cars.
The Bonhams Simeone sale, described as "the first ever auction to promote the concept of preservation of collector cars," was one of the most interesting auctions we've attended in a long time and took in a total of less than $3 million. We'll have full coverage coming up in both Hemmings Motor News and Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car.
Simeone Museum spotlights American muscle cars
Photo courtesy Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum
Normally, a discussion of muscle in Philadelphia forms the image of young dudes hanging out on the corner dressed in bleached undershirts while doo-wop plays in the background. Not this time. The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum is opening an exhibition on American Muscle, U.S.-built performance cars, beginning June 29 and running through July 15.
Some of these cars used to slug it out on Philly thoroughfares like Island Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard, but given Simeone's usual level of thoughtfulness when it comes to automotive history and performance cars, earlier examples such as the Hudson Hornet will be on display.
Among the traditional American muscle cars from the 1960s and 1970s in the exhibit will be a Plymouth Superbird, Plymouth AAR 'Cuda, Shelby G.T.500KR and Hurst/Olds with 455 power. Adding will be holdings from the collections of LRA Enterprises, the muscle restoration specialist and dealer from Bristol, Pennsylvania, and George Kerbeck, the dealer and collector from Palmyra, New Jersey, who sells everything from Corvettes to Lamborghinis and Bentleys. Best of all, you can view the Simeone collection's normal fare, which is a trove of prized sports racers from a variety of eras. For more information, visit SimeoneMuseum.org.

It almost seems as if Anglophiles have been warring over whether MG or Triumph is best since they were all lurching around in animal skins. Adding some heat in that old colonial burg, Philadelphia, is the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, whose annual Best of Britain show opens its doors this Saturday, February 11. The raft of Brit sportsters marking 50 years will be on display, led by the MGB.
Another display will feature V-8s like the Sunbeam Tiger. It all starts with a Push-to-Start Party – we love it – on Friday at 5:30 p.m. Victuals will include shepherd's pie and sausage rolls with chips. You wanna steak wit'? Geddoudahere. The bash runs through Feb. 26. For more information, visit SimeoneMuseum.org.

Local attorneys, law enforcement and court officials will meet Friday to toss around ideas to advance a state initiative designed to assist the public's access to the court system.
A luncheon, hosted by Washington County Sheriff Ed Graybeal, will prompt a dialog for ideas to create a more user-friendly atmosphere in the courthouse, according to attorney Tony Seaton, who has headed up the local programs.
"The Washington County legal community has been at the forefront in establishing an initiative that furthers these goals by starting a free legal clinic every month for financially disadvantaged individuals and providing free legal service in (civil) General Sessions Court," Seaton said.
The Tennessee Supreme Court launched Access to Justice in 2009 to help citizens who encounter civil legal issues.
A commission to study the issue developed a strategic plan that consists of pro bono services from local attorneys, free legal clinics and assistance to litigants that allow them to handle their case without an attorney.
The Washington County Bar Association has actively participated in Access to Justice since the Supreme Court implemented it.
One of the primary goals of Access to Justice is to make the justice system more user-friendly, according to the commission's plan.
"The judges and clerks of Washington County have taken hold of these initiatives and, together with the attorneys that volunteer their time, have developed a legal system by which the Washington County public can have simpler and more informed access to the Washington County judicial system," Seaton said.
Seaton said he's encouraged that the sheriff's office and Graybeal wanted to host Friday's luncheon.
Seaton said the plan for Friday is getting lawyers, court personnel and judges together "and talk about how we can make it less intimidating," to go into court for people who have no court experience.

North Creek The Adirondack Community Outreach Center (ACOC) is once again asking town of Johnsburg residents to help their neighbors in need with Christmas presents this year.
In 2011, the Outreach Center's toy drive helped give Christmas presents to more than 130 children, and they're expected to serve about 150 this year, according to ACOC Board President Judy Brown.
"We've had some interesting thank-you notes from some of the people," Brown said. "I think I saved one from the first year I did it. She (a mother) wrote me a poem on what it meant to her family ... She had four children, and her husband had recently left her, and she just didn't have. She was just in need. She said that there was a good chance that there might not have been anything much under the Christmas tree without the Outreach Center."
Donation cans for money and bins for toys are located at many local businesses and offices around the North Creek area, including the Town of Johnsburg Library, Basil & Wick's, Community Bank, Cafe Sarah, Marsha's, the Hudson River Trading Company, Trimmers, the Saratoga & North Creek Railway, Adirondack Spirits, The Exchange at North Creek, the Wevertown Country Store and The Barking Spider.
The deadline for toy drive donations is Monday, Dec. 10.
"We bring everything in on the 10th," Brown said. "On the 11th, we start setting up the tables and then we see what we have and we know where we need to fill in."
The donated toys must be new, not used. The Outreach Center distributes the toys it is given, and volunteers also buy more toys with the donated money.
"It's kind of good to get money instead of toys because we go and buy in volume," Brown said. "Like Kmart will give us 10 to 20 percent off our total purchases."

SAS® Model Manager
Analytical model validation, deployment, monitoring and management
Streamline the tedious and often error-prone steps of creating, managing, validating, deploying, monitoring and operationalizing your analytic models. Quickly put your best models into production. And take action – fast – if model performance starts to degrade.
Accelerate model validation, management and deployment.
With an efficient, repeatable process for registering, validating, deploying, monitoring and retraining models, you can track models all the way from their creation, to their deployment into real-time or batch scoring systems, to their retirement. Accountability metrics and version control status reports record who changes what, when control is passed from one area to another, etc.
Ensure that models are up-to-date and accurate.
An iterative framework lets you test and compare your analytical models, generate benchmark reports and – as models are deployed – push performance metrics to established reporting channels. Modelers can easily collaborate and reuse models. And you can set automated alerts to detect when scoring results change over time, which indicates model decay.
Ensure auditability and compliance.
Compliance and model validation reporting capabilities are highly sought-after due to heightened regulatory requirements. A centralized model repository, lifecycle templates and version control provide visibility into analytical processes and ensure they can be audited to comply with internal governance and external regulations. Basel II risk model validation reports provide transparency by assessing the soundness of internal credit risk measurement systems, tracking down anomalies and answering regulatory inquiries on demand.
Streamline modeling processes.
With this fully web-based software, you can streamline the manual, error-prone steps of creating, managing, deploying, monitoring and operationalizing analytical models. An automated and collaborative model management process lets you track each step of the modeling project and create customized workflows for different types of models. Different users touching or interpreting a model will get a unified view of its current stage with access to information that will help them take relevant actions.
- Centralized repository. Easily manage analytical models via a centralized, secure web-based repository.
- Analytical workflow management. Define and track custom workflows for model life-cycle management using a web-based interface.
- Model validation. Validate model scoring logic before models are exported to production.
- Performance monitoring and reporting. Monitor and report on model performance during test and production life cycles.

The Nativists
Patrick Haab's rise to prominence in the anti-immigration movement was almost as meteoric as his subsequent fall from grace. Anointed a hero, he was dropped rapidly after embarrassing revelations emerged about his past.
Last April 10, Haab came across seven men he suspected were illegal immigrants at a highway rest stop in Arizona and held them at gunpoint until sheriff's deputies responded to his 911 cell phone call. Much to his surprise, he was arrested and charged with seven counts of aggravated assault -- a move that generated outrage and consternation among anti-immigration zealots. It didn't hurt his rising reputation in that crowd when Haab, an Army sergeant, told reporters he'd just come back from a tour in Iraq, and went on to complain that America was turning into "Americo."
Haab was immediately embraced by the anti-immigration movement. He appeared on radio talk shows repeatedly. A fan posted his $10,000 bond, and a defense fund was set up. When the local district attorney, Andrew Thomas, dropped all charges against him, Haab became a superhero. Anti-immigration pundit Michelle Malkin described Thomas' highly controversial decision as "another victory for law-abiding, pro-enforcement forces." Haab even went so far as to demand $1 million to compensate him for four nights in jail.
Then it all went south. Two weeks after his release, the Arizona Republic broke a remarkable story. Haab had never been in Iraq. He had been in Kuwait, however, where he told officials during an Arabic cultural awareness class that he had a desire to "kill all the camel jockeys," including a Muslim from his own unit. He had also threatened to kill himself, officials said. Haab was pulled from active duty and returned to Fort Bragg, N.C., for mental health evaluation. While there, he bought a $12,000 sniper rifle, causing military officials to alert other authorities. Even after five months of therapy, a military official said he didn't think Haab was "ready to return to duty or become a functioning part of society."
And with that revelation, Patrick Haab effectively disappeared.

Hi Brian.
I have uploaded a modification of your image. If you scroll up and click the modifications tab, you will see the thumbnail, click it, and then click the View Large option underneath.
Its a very nice shot. The selection of cloudy WB has left it rather yellow I think, so the mod has less yellow.
Ive also brightened her face just a little, since the light is coming from the right, placing her face in a little shadow. And finally a crop from the right.
Hope this is helpful,

Don't bother with the voting. Waste of effort I feel. I looked when I first joined and it becomes a mutual admiration society. Fails to actually say if your image is truly any good because too many people who do not understand the processes vote and then it becomes entirely subjective.
This is a nice, pleasant well composed shot nice pastel colours and with interesting hand movement but a sharp face. High ISO. Ok providing the big version is as good. Just a bit heavy lighting round the eyes. A flash fill at low power, half or a quarter would lift the eye shadows and put a catch light in each eye.
That would lift the impact a lot.

Really attractive and engaging. You were on Aperture priority and may not have been aware of the shutter speed that you were getting, but 1/125 second has served you well. The face is nice and sharp, the motion blur in the hand really does make her wave to us.
It's largely a matter of what you feel comfortable with, but when photographing people who are, or could at any time be, moving about, I usually use shutter priority because the freezing of movement or capture of motion blur is so much easier to control.
As for the site, why not pick 'n mix, try different areas. I have learned a terrific amount from the Main Gallery, by looking at great pictures and studying them, and by asking people questions. Explore the site, and enjoy it.

While I'm nto a fan of zoom lenses (big, limited apertures, unweildy), 70mm is a good focal length for a portrait.
It's worked well, and given nice perspective for a lovely subject. I hope she's as pleased with the result as she ought to be - it's great.
My one compositional suggestion is that a slight move to your left might have given a simpler background, with ground instead of the fence and pile of logs. These compete a little bit for attention - though by using a wide(-ish) aperture you've toned them down a bit.
However, changing position can change the light, and you've got lovely delicate sidelights coming from somewhere in this, giving definition along both sides of Tiffany's face. so beware that in fine-tuning one thing, you don't lose other positive features!

With a feisty somewhat spicy taste chai tea is loved equally for the mental benefits it offers and for it's distinct personality and flavor. Chai tea is becoming increasingly popular. As more and more different types of tea ranging from Rooibos and even green tea are mixed with chai to create surprisingly pleasant teas. Which have been received on a high note all around the world. TIP: to neutralize the spiciness considering making one eighth of your cup milk instead of tea, this will keep the tea more neutral and less peppy.

I also want to wish you a happy birthday and congratulations. I'm wondering why you got your permit so rapidly.I sent my app in on 21 June, and the check still has not been cashed nor the permit received. I'm wondering if it is now a "money" issue. My check was for $20, before the price went up. Yours, if sent at the beginning of August, must have been for $100. Has NH decided to process the "big" check apps faster?

Congrats. NH is a little safer now. Good luck.

Yes, I paid the $100 fee and have read the threads of NH being backlogged.
I was very surprised myself when I checked my bank statement and my check had been cashed, and even more when the permit arrived a few weeks later.
I'll be off to NH next week for some kayaking / gun shop "browsing" / and off course a WW walk, although I do those all the time here in Taxachusetts.

New Jersey Permanent Make-Up
Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique which employs tattoos (permanent pigmentation of the skin) as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as eye lining and other permanent enhancing colors to the skin of the face, lips, and eyelids. It is also used to produce artificial eyebrows, particularly in people who have lost them as a consequence of old age, disease, such as alopecia, chemotherapy, or a genetic disturbance, and to disguise scars and white spots in the skin such as in vitiligo.
Immediate and Long Term Results
Permanent makeup results in enhanced definition of the facial features such as eyebrows, eyes and lips by the use of colors. Results can imitate topically applied cosmetics or can be quite unnoticeable, depending upon the design, color value and amount of pigment used. At first, permanent makeup results may look somewhat harsh. This is due to color remaining in the outermost epidermal layers of skin at the start. Color softens within a few days during the healing process as the upper layers of epidermis slough off and are replaced by new epidermal cells.
The best possible color results can perform for many years or may begin to fade over time. The longevity varies from person to person. While permanent makeup pigment remains in the dermis its beauty-span may be influenced by several factors: environmental, procedural and/or individual. Sun exposure fades color. The amount and color of pigment deposit at the dermal level can affect the length of time that permanent makeup looks its best. Very natural looking applications are likely to require a touch-up before more dramatic ones for this reason. Individual influences include lifestyles that find an individual in the sun regularly such as with gardening or swimming. Skin tones are a factor in color value changes over time.
As with tattoos, permanent makeup can be difficult to remove. Common techniques used for this are laser resurfacing, dermabrasion (physical or chemical exfoliation), and surgical removal.
Camouflaging—adding a new pigment which counteracts the tattoo color and attempts to emulate normal skin color is considered a poor choice by professionals. Removal is usually more painful and laborious than the tattooing itself.

The U.S. News & World Report's annual college rankings came out earlier this month and — knock me over with a feather! — Harvard and Princeton were tied for first.
Followed by Yale.
Followed by Columbia.
It's not that these aren't great universities. But c'mon. Can you really say with any precision that Princeton is "better" than Columbia? That the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 6) is better than the California Institute of Technology (No. 10)? That Tufts (No. 28) is better than Brandeis (No. 33)?
Of course not. U.S. News likes to claim that it uses rigorous methodology, but, honestly, it's just a list put together by magazine editors. The whole exercise is a little silly. Or rather, it would be if it weren't so pernicious.

Vail Resorts Echo Day
Vail Resorts Echo Day is Vail Resorts' annual company-wide volunteer day. Whether forging new trails or helping restore a town park, Echo Day allows employees of all ages (and their friends and family, too!) to rally around a local community need. Established in 2010, Echo Day has allowed a total of 4,622 volunteers to give 16,101 hours of time to four years worth of projects.
Join us for the fifth annual Vail Resorts Echo Day on Saturday, September 20 with Canyons Resort, Mountain Trails Foundation and Wasatch Trails Alliance in building the WOW trail. Join your Canyons friends and staff at the WOW Trail that connects Wasatch and Summit Counties.
About the event:
Wasatch Over Wasatch (or "WOW"), will build a non-motorized loop trail from the Pine Creek Campground in Wasatch Mountain State Park up through Pine Canyon, to the north end of the state park and Summit County, then back down Dutch Canyon to the Dutch Canyon Trailhead and back across the ridge to Pine Canyon. The route will complete a leg of the Perimeter Trail for Wasatch County, and it will also link Wasatch and Summit counties and connect to seven other trails and communities in the area.
Pack some work gloves, plenty of water and come ready to get dirty! Trail building normally involves clearing brush and grass, moving small rocks and digging to the dirt level of the ground surface. All abilities are welcome – there's a vast array of projects and types of work available to accommodate all abilities. Children ages five and older are welcome to attend and activities for youth will be provided at each project. Kids ages seven and older are welcome to work alongside their parents.

Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization (PEARS) is designed for healthcare providers who see pediatric patients but do not take PALS because it is beyond their scope of practice. The main focus of PEARS is prevention and, specifically, the assessment, recognition and stabilization of pediatric victims at risk for shock, respiratory distress and cardiopulmonary failure.
The course includes video-based instruction, instructor-led discussions and the opportunity for participants to practice assessment, recognition and stabilization skills using different scenarios in a team concept environment.
To learn more and for registration questions, please call Jennifer Walker at 206-987-6772 or email her.
Both PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) and PEARS (Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization) are American Heart Association (AHA) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) standard courses that use uniform tools to train assessment and management for early recognition and intervention in infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary failure. PEARS is the foundation of pediatric assessment that supports PALS providers for advanced care.
The most current edition of the PEARS Manual, printed in 2012, was updated to reflect the new science of the 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR and ECC. The manual is required to be read before the course, and you may purchase a copy during the registration process or from online book retailers.
Location information and driving directions will be sent in your confirmation letter. All confirmation letters will be sent electronically approximately one month prior to the course with timely registration.
PEARS courses are held at Seattle Children's 70th and Sand Point location, 6901 Sand Point Way NE, located 1.5 miles north of Seattle Children's main campus.
The PEARS course fee is $215.
Visa and MasterCard payments are accepted online. No personal checks.
The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in BLS, ACLS, PALS and PEARS, and has developed instructional materials for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the American Heart Association and any fees charged for such a course do not represent income to the association.
Information on referring patients, CIS View, eReferral, accessing medical records, continuing medical education (CME) and more.
The monthly Bulletin newsletter provides updates for healthcare professionals about programs and services at Seattle Children's.

Last night we built a new release candidate for 0.9.1– this is RC1. Get it here: Democracy nightlies and please, please, please, let us know if you have any problems whatsoever.
I think we've had better process on this release than ever before. In the past, we've had a whole bunch of release candidates as we find and fix things, but this time we've only found a couple new bugs– a crash, a BitTorrent freeze, and some other minor stuff. If we don't find anything new, we might be able to go right to a release.
Also, today is probably your last chance to translate before we ship this version. The interface is now at least partially translated into 33 languages. Hopefully, we'll be able to get portions of the website translated soon as well (if there's anyone that has experience setting up that kind of thing, we could really use the help).

DURHAM, N.H. – Robin Balducci, 18th-year
head coach of the University of New Hampshire field hockey team,
has announced the 2009 schedule for her UNH team.
In addition to five America East league games, the Wildcats will battle four Ivy League teams as well as two ACC teams, a pair of Big East squads and a member of the Big 10. Of the 18 games, five are home at Memorial Field and three are at a neutral site.
The 2009 season opens Aug. 30 at home against Syracuse University, a team that advanced to the semifinals of last year's NCAA tournament and ended the year ranked third in the national polls.
New Hampshire begins September with a pair of games in the Ocean State against Brown University (Sept. 4) and Providence College (Sept. 6). The 'Cats then make the first of two trips to Burlington, Vt. to play Cal-Davis and Penn at UVM's Sheraton Classic on Sept. 12-13.
UNH continues play against another Ivy League team, Harvard, on Sept. 16 and returns home to face Holy Cross on the 19th. The Wildcats then hit the road again to battle Davidson and Duke, a 2008 NCAA quarterfinalist that was ranked eighth in the country.
League play begins Oct. 3 at home against interstate rival Maine, and the 'Cats travel to play Northeastern and Dartmouth before resuming America East action at Vermont. The next day, UNH travels to Cambridge, Mass. (Harvard) to play Michigan.
New Hampshire plays a fifth consecutive out-of-town game against Boston University on Oct. 17 and then plays host to Boston College – a team that ended '08 at No. 15 in the rankings – on the 18th.
The Wildcats will hold Senior Day on Oct. 24 against Fairfield University and conclude the regular season the following weekend at Albany, the defending America East champion who defeated UNH, 2-1, in last year's league title game.
UNH finished as runner-up in both the America East regular season standings and tournament in 2008.

A wonderful discovery (by accident) and a friendly and accomodating owner and staff..Food was done exactly as asked for and delicious..Highly recommended

No overwhelming sauces, and just the right amount of spice. service can be a bit slow, the tablecloth may have a stain, but the pasta is fantastic. great great olive oil. just fantastic. def one of the better italian places i've been too. can be slightly on the expensive side, but def worth it. and it's close to the time warner building.

Their lamb and risotto are the best in Manhattan. Also one should try home made pasta with lobster in spicy sauce. Service is fantastic. We will bet there for pre-theater dinner soon. Highly recommended.

I work in the vicinity and often drop by for lunch or dinner. You can't beat the quick service, and wonderful food. Try the daily risotto special - it's always fantastic.

A friend and I went Nocello's. Because of previous visit's, which where pretty good. However the last two times it was slow and we were seated in a unpleasant located. The food was good, but not great.

I have eaten at some of the best Italian restaurants across the country. And I am pretty picky. I had heard this place was good... and it was! I ordered a red sauce pasta dish that I can't remember the name of but it was probably the best sauce I have ever eaten in my 48 years. We had four in our party and everyone loved what they ordered. I will go again when visiting the city. Make reservations, the place is small but very nice!

I never know when I go for Italian food if it is going to be good. Being Italian it has to be good. I would go back to Nocello's again and again. My friend's who live in the city love it there and are regulars. It is a great place to go before the theater. The chicken stuffed with goat cheese was fantastic. The stuffed mushrooms were to die for. I would highly recommend it.
