BEREA -- A small religious school is under criminal investigation after several dozen teenage students and others volunteered over several weekends to gut a building containing asbestos, a cancer-causing agent, according to interviews and records.
Students as young as 13 who attend the Buckeye Education School spent several weekends removing asbestos-filled materials without any protective gear at the former YWCA on Smith Road in Middleburg Heights, said Cleveland Commissioner of Air Quality George Baker, who also works with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
Baker said state regulations require a building owner to use certified contractors to remove asbestos.
Darren Clink, who lives next to the former Y, used a camera to shoot video of the students and others taking debris out of the building using buckets and a small front-end loader.
The video shows a large cloud of dust dispersing in the air after debris was dropped into a dumpster.
"The entire site was contaminated with asbestos and the people who were doing it were all children," said Clink. "The kids were loaded with it."
Both Jonathan Borys, principal of Buckeye Education, and Bruce Carmichael, of Sterling Education, which oversees the school, declined to say who asked the students to do the work at the building.
Sterling Education is associated with the Exclusive Brethren, a Christian church that expects congregants to keep separate from the world of sports and entertainment, and not to have a radio or TV, according to its website.
Sterling Education runs 35 schools nationwide.
"We have engaged the services of a certified asbestos remediation company and they are handling the project for us," Carmichael wrote, in an e-mail. "We are fully cooperating with the EPA for an amicable resolution to the situation."
Buckeye Education purchased the building last July so the school could move into a bigger space. A presentation to Middleburg Heights city officials shows plans for a multi-room school with a large gymnasium.
The Ohio EPA began investigating after receiving a complaint in early December, said Ron Fodo, an Ohio EPA criminal investigator who declined further comment because the case was in its early stages.
When regulators visited the site on Dec. 13, they found three dumpsters filled with debris believed to contain asbestos, as well as potentially contaminated material strewn about the property, according to Ohio EPA inspection reports.
Inside, almost all of the interior walls as well as the ceiling had been removed, leaving pipes and other surfaces exposed. It also appeared that debris had been dumped into the deep end of the former Y's pool.
Subsequent tests found that floor tiles, pipes and duct fabric were all filled with asbestos, the records show.
Middleburg Heights Building Commissioner Norm Herwerden later posted signs on the building, warning people to stay out because of dangerous conditions.
Regulators say they'll never know how much of the cancer-causing agent got into the students' lungs over several weekends of work.
"There's no way we can recreate what the conditions were at the time the students were in there," Baker said.
Health inspectors are recommending that students and others log what they did at the site and for how long.
They should also tell a family doctor, who can conduct chest x-rays and respiratory testing to forecast future problems.
Clink, who removes asbestos for a living, says his concern for the students has turned to anger at school officials.
"We've been abating schools for the last 30 years in this town just to keep our kids safe, and then they come in and to save a buck throw a bunch of kids in harm's way," Clink said.

Asia Pacific air cargo will bounce back
September 21, 2011
The brighter picture painted by the International Air Transport Association contained some disappointing news as well. Asia Pacific carriers have been hit by a dramatic downturn compared to 2010.
It's important to remember, however, that last year the region delivered $8 billion profit, and it still remains the most promising arena in the world today.
IATA noted that the weakness of air cargo markets is disproportionately affecting airlines from this region owing to the larger share of cargo in airline revenues. The shocks from the Japanese earthquake and tsunami continue to affect supply chains and cargo markets (in which Asia Pacific carriers have the largest market share).
A strong rebound is expected late in the year continuing into 2012.
And in the long term, things look even better.
A recent report issued by World Air Transport Statistics noted that Asia will continue to be at the forefront of the freight industry, expanding at a pace approaching 7 percent by the end of 2029.
This comes as scant surprise to the Boeing Company – China's leading provider of aircraft – which maintains that the Asia Pacific region's air traffic growth will exceed the world average by a "large" margin over the next two decades.

Brazil's bold infrastructure push has been heralded as a game changer. Investors, however, may balk at low yields and risks that remain hard to evaluate
But the market may prove less attractive to foreign
investors than the hype would suggest.
Law 12,431, which finally passed in an amended version as
law 12,715 on September 17, was greeted with enthusiasm. It
provides tax breaks to investors when they invest in debentures
with tenors over four years.
The amendments are well written and addressed the doubts of
investors over liabilities for non-compliance with government

Harvard Says: Train Residents and Medical Students Like Navy SEALS
35 comments:
You do realize that Hell Week lasts for...a week, while residency lasts 5 years, right?
- July 3, 2011 at 3:07 PM
- Skeptical Scalpel said...
I know that Hell Week is only a week but SEALs practice going without sleep all the time, even after their initial training. And, residency training is not nearly as rigorous as SEAL training.
As I pointed out in a previous post (http://is.gd/GKn3bR):
"Here is a little known fact that many people conveniently overlook when discussing resident working conditions. A resident who is on call for 28 consecutive hours may not necessarily be awake for all of that time. Some nights are not busy. There can be time for napping. This type of work is not analogous to long-distance bus driving or piloting an airliner both of which require long hours of uninterrupted, monotonous work."

Yep. I've written about this, too, many times. Like this, in which I recommend not getting sick, or, if you do, treating it with gin and a hose attached to the tailpipe.
- July 5, 2011 at 11:57 AM
- medaholic said...
I really hope you read the article. I think the main point can be summarized at the very end.
Quoted "Resilience can be taught, said Everly, who also directs the Resiliency Sciences Institutes at the University of Maryland. First, let people experience success: Assign them to a successful group. Second, create a surveillance system and safety net, and provide encouragement, mentoring and training. Finally, mitigate the impact of stress by promoting "self-efficacy"—the belief that we are agents of change. Everly noted, however, that one cannot "give" self-esteem; it must be earned through personal accomplishment in the face of a challenge. Calling for a cultural shift, he said, "We must reframe mistakes as opportunities for learning.""
I don't think anywhere in the article did it mention that residents should be trained like navy seals by making it HELL for them. No post-call days, no work hour limits, train people by sleep depriving them?
If you want to train residents to be more resilient, I think the carrot will work much better than the stick.
- July 6, 2011 at 3:45 AM
- Old MD Girl said...
What medaholic said. Residency is not a contest about who is tougher. It is about learning how to take care of patients. You sound like you have a giant masculinity problem.
- July 6, 2011 at 4:55 PM
- Skeptical Scalpel said...
@medaholic and Old MD Girl,
I didn't bring this up. Experts from Harvard did. They just left out the part about learning to handle stress by actually experiencing it when you are tired.
"We must reframe mistakes as opportunities for learning." is a nice sentiment. Please Google "Seattle nurse suicide" to see how well the "culture shift" is working out. So much for "Just Culture," which does not exist anywhere in medicine. I do agree that one cannot give self-esteem.
I don't understand your reference to "a contest about who is tougher." I never said anything like that.
- July 6, 2011 at 8:13 PM
- TheTracker said...
"Please Google "Seattle nurse suicide" to see how well the "culture shift" is working out."
The utter incompetence of your generation -- killing tens of thousands of patients every year with preventable errors secondary to the irrational systems, sloppily maintained, that you and your colleagues built up and managed.
Not to be blunt, but maybe while we're stuggling to clean up your mess and catch up with the rest of the developed world, you could forgo your attempts to shift blame with anecdotes?
- September 14, 2011 at 9:19 PM
- Skeptical Scalpel said...
I appreciate the comment but must disagree with some of it. The punitive culture is real. The story of Seattle nurse who committed suicide is an illustration of why changes need to be made, not an attempt to shift blame. Read about it.

The attrition rate in the training program to enter the Navy SEALs is around 80-90%, meaning that of the motivated, healthy, fit group of young men entering the training course only about 10-20% are able to tolerate it and successfully become Navy SEALs. The SEALs are extremely resilient in part because they are an elite group where the less resilient have been weeded out. Do you think an 80% attrition rate in medical training is acceptable?
- December 30, 2011 at 8:51 PM
- Skeptical Scalpel said...
Obviously, an attrition rate of 80% is impractical. I never advocated that. However, the attrition rate for surgical residents may already be as high as 20%. i believe that is due to the fact that med students are coddled and have no idea what a surgical residency involves. They figure that it will be easy now that work hours are limited. It isn't so.
Residency is not as physically or mentally as demanding as SEAL training, nor should it be. I simply agree with the Harvard research that says residents should be trained to be more resilient.
PS: I was exaggerating in the last paragraph. The establishment never listened to me when I was a program director. I doubt they would listen now.

If you say so, it must be true. After all, you are anonymous. They sound quite similar, if not exactly the same to me.
I know because I've seen movies.
- April 11, 2012 at 8:00 PM
Interesting concept. I'm not sure that Navy Seals have the same set of skills required to be a caring, compassionate surgeon. I finished my surgical training two years ago. I had many sleepless nights, and am handling solo practice just fine. I also get much more sleep now than during my residency. I think we are taught resiliency - quite well, in fact. Those who don't, drop out and go into anesthesia.
And unlike many surgeons that went before us: we also have fun personalities, successful marriages and children we know and love. Imagine that. You don't want to train surgical robots. You want resilient, compassionate, ethical, skilled clinicians.
- May 15, 2012 at 4:45 PM
- Skeptical Scalpel said...
jbean, thanks for reading and commenting. Now that this post is almost a year old, I have a confession to make. I was not really serious when I wrote this. I was exaggerating to make a point.
I'm not sure if there are any data to support your apparent contention that younger, more gently trained surgeons have a lower divorce rate or better personalities than us Navy Seal trained surgeons.
- May 15, 2012 at 6:52 PM
I always figured the month I spent in 1973 at Camp Lejeune as a US Navy Corpsman learning field medical skills for posting with the Fleet Marine Forces was as close as I EVER wanted to BUDS or SERE - WORST MONTH OF MY LIFE - surgical residency with Nyhus and then Harken pre-limits was long and hard, but as far as I know no live ammo was involved.
Perhaps a program of that nature - one month - night exercises, all the BLS - ACLS - ATLS - PALS - NRP - whatever practical skills possible - grind you down and build you up...would be valuable. Outward Bound used to be that sort of program for the wayward youth back in the day, perhaps our medical students need that sort of exposure prior to selecting residency paths?

Fair point......but this is precisely how evolution induces change. It wipes out and selects the survivors and then expands them. Mother Nature has been pretty successful and far more so than our profession. I wish we used evolutionary medicine to guide more of our clinical and surgical decisions and training. We might not be a species in decline.

Fascinating. I resigned as the Program Director at MGH (a Harvard Hospital) two years ago largely because the "system" would not allow the program to be as rigorous as it had been and should be. Clearly, the "system" did not agree with some of it's researchers. SkepticalScalpel has it right. Period.

The current surgical education paradigm is a mutilated and politically correct form of the unending hell hole inefficient surgical residency of the good old times. If more time had been spent more time on actively working on evolving surgical education we may have been spared of a generation of surgeons who think they are prepared but actually may not be. I believe the deluge into specializations is partly because they feel they are underprepared after residency.
- October 21, 2012 at 9:44 AM
- Skeptical Scalpel said...
fella, I agree that many feel they are unprepared and that's why they take fellowships. There are many negative forces at work here. How would you have evolved surgical education?
- October 21, 2012 at 2:41 PM
- fella said...
I wish that the surgical curriculum is more stringently devised, uniformly executed and should be competency based and not allow for people to get through if they are just"okay at it". Competencies should be clearly defined and assessed even more strictly and without the need for political correctness. The absite and the board exam are point performance indicators and residencies are too variable in their interpretation and execution of the "syllabus".The object should be a good surgeon not 80 hours or 5 years for that matter.
This is my first year out in practice. When I have a better idea than this I will let you know.
- November 14, 2012 at 4:33 PM
- Skeptical Scalpel said...
Fella, I appreciate the comments. There is a plan to standardize the curriculum. The board and RRC can tell you what to teach, but a program is at the mercy of its faculty. Doctors are not necessarily good teachers.
There is also a lot of discussion about going to competency based training. There are several issues yet to be resolved though.

Just to nitpick (and FYI I love your blog), it's "hooyah" for the SEAL community. "Oorah" is the vernacular of the Marine Corps.
As for the actual training, I wholeheartedly agree with implementing (or reverting back to) this sort of mentality with regards to surgical training. I can definitely say that my prior training has helped me well while on the wards. Helps to know just how much more is left in the tank, how much more I can really put out before I have nothing left.
Plus, it just feels really awesome looking back after completing a particularly grueling task (whether it be a monster call, a pain forced march, or a long swim in cold ocean water). Some say it's a bit selfish or even egotistical, but it is awesome knowing you can do something like that.

Hello, i am on my 7 night on call for 24 hours as a junior surgeon for monthly pay of 1000 usd in my country, is this tough or what ? :-) :-)

- Skeptical Scalpel said...
igor, it is tough. I'm guessing you are not in an EU country.
- June 28, 2013 at 7:41 AM
I get $500/month as a junior surgeon. As residents, we had what we called hell-weeks. Meant we were on-call for seven straight days, starting Saturday morning and ending next Saturday afternoon, 3pm. That was every 3rd or 5th week, depending on number of residents in the ward. I got no pay for the first 18 months. Every 4th Sunday we were on-call and we have Monday and Thursday calls. So Sunday and Monday stretch extended to 60 hours sometimes.
It was nuts.
But I learned.
And survived.
Now, they have easier schedules for residents and interns here. Shorter working hours. And lots of molly-coddling.
That has resulted in a reduction in efficacy and a lower standard of patient care.
What happened to us wasn't good. But what they are doing to the new guys is worse, throwing out substandard surgeons and doctors.
I always ask them one thing: would you be OK if you got into an accident and your treating doctor was someone like you. 9 out of ten, I don't get any response.
Surgery is less about luxury, and more about a certain mental toughness to get the job done, rest be damned, comfort be damned.
And when people start asking about that 31st day of the month, well, the PD probably didn't get the right people as his residents.
SEALs are self-motivated. Nobody wants to ring the bell.
Neither sould a surgery resident.
It's the highest calling, the best job in the world.
You have to WANT it to do it right.

Interesting take on the subject.
"I always ask them one thing: would you be OK if you got into an accident and your treating doctor was someone like you. 9 out of ten, I don't get any response."
- July 1, 2013 at 8:58 AM
Just a way to make them see that what they/we do matters.
A means to motivate in an environment that doesn't pay big $ even after one is qualified as a surgeon. Or for that matter, an environment that is in dire need of a paradigm shift when it comes to post-grad resident training and change of priorities when it comes to patients in order to compete and excel in a world of exceptional healthcare.
Young doctors are the future.
They need to be self-motivated and not just because of possible gains once they graduate from residency.
There's more to life than money.

If you're looking for a full-body fragrance experience, your search is over. Typically applied after showering, a body spray will envelop your whole being with a light, clean and fresh scent, while providing you with a fragrant base that can be enhanced—if you so choose—in strategic locations like the neck, wrists and behind the knees, where perfumes and eau de toilettes are typically applied. The primary difference between a body spray and a perfume is in the amount of essential oils or extracts they contain—about 1-2% in a body spray vs. anywhere from 15 to 40 percent in a perfume, with eau de parfum and eau de toilette fragrances falling somewhere in-between.
A body spray can be used to either complement or replace your daily fragrance—it's entirely up to you. Either way, body sprays instantly refresh and energize your pores, while providing extra all-over hydration for your skin. Choose from a number of fragrant body sprays here that will freshen, energize and yes, even tone your skin!

Camoro finished fifth out of 455 players in the two-day tournament at Treasure Island Resort & Casino, earning a check of $50,000 for his efforts. Camoro totaled $240.80 on his 30 mythical bets ($2 win & $2 place) to secure the biggest payday of his handicapping career.
A native of Tigard, Ore., Camoro earned his berth in the NHC finals by finishing ninth at the Emerald Qualifying Tournament last June.
Jim Benes of Countryside, Ill., captured the $750,000 first-place prize and an Eclipse Award as Handicapper of the Year after amassing a winning score of $268.40. The 50-year-old Benes, a professional horseplayer who qualified at Hawthorne Racecourse, also earned a $4,000 Day 1 bonus he received for registering the second-best score on Friday.
Jeff Hartz of Runnells, Ia., finished third at $244.00 to collect $100,000. Richard Grose of Wentzville, Mo., was the Day 1 leader, and faded somewhat to finish fourth with $242.60. He will take home $75,000. Dan Camoro of Tigard, Ore., rounded out the top five at $196.00. That score was good for $50,000.
The NHC 14 finals paid out to the top 40 finishers from a total purse of $1,500,000.
Christopher Larmey of Kennewick, the EQT winner, finished 15th and earned $10,000. Other locals: Kenneth Evans, Spanaway, finished 62nd with $171.20; John Johnson, Lake Forest, 124th/$144.20; Dave Mahy, Vancouver, B.C., 306th/$70.80; Dave Brownfield, Seattle, 331/$64.80, and Grant Rimer, Vancouver, B.C., t-344/$59.20.

My first night in the Lesser Slave Lake region of Northern Alberta was spent at a hostel called The Nest. These accommodations were especially interesting because they are on the grounds of the Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation (BCBC). And hostel is kind of misleading when you compare it to some of the more (ahem) squeaky-clean-challenged places you might have experienced. This was more like a comfy cabin. It sleeps 10 in two separate wings with a common area and kitchen in the middle, complete with a big fireplace. Super cosy!
The next morning after a walk to the rocky beach for views of Lesser Slave Lake, I visited the centre for some bird education. Charity and executive director Patti Campsall were very helpful in explaining what the centre is all about as well as the eco-friendly aspects of this LEEDS-certified structure.
Lesser Slave Lake and nearby Marten Mountain act as a natural barrier for migratory birds making their annual voyage. The BCBC has provided a haven for researchers to study the birds` important relationship with the Boreal forest. Of special interest are the neo-tropical birds. Some of these tiny specimens travel for thousands and thousands of miles!
Walking through the exhibit and reading about these amazing bird populations was fascinating. Afterwards we headed down towards the lake again to talk to Richard, who is the head bander for the bird banding program. Richard and his team use special nets to catch birds and gather important data about them (such as their age, sex, measurements and muscle development).
Unfortunately it was a very windy day — not great conditions for the birds, so we weren't able to witness the banding. But the BCBC does host a number of educational programs, including the opportunity to tour the banding station and see Richard in action (when he's a little busier). If you're there in winter, the centre rents out cross country skis and snowshoes for free!
So what's the connection to gardening? We can provide important habitats for them in our own backyard! During my visit, I picked up some great tips on attracting songbirds to your yard. We currently have the one article on the site and I intend to talk to Patty for more helpful advice!

Annapolis, Md. (WUSA) -- Maryland Legislators are aiming to finally undo a court ruling declaring pit bulls "inherently dangerous."
A hearing took place on Wednesday on a bill that would shift liability from landlords to owners and their insurers.
In addition, the bill would declare all dogs as potential hazards, regardless of breed. However, the law would allow owners to defend against suits by arguing their pet was provoked or never showed signs of aggression.

By Karen Jowers -- Military Times
Following a sweep that scrutinized about 800 mortgage-related advertisements, federal regulators have launched investigations into 19 companies to determine whether their misleading advertisements may have violated federal law. Some of the ads targeted service members and veterans.
The regulators have sent warning letters to an additional 32 companies, according to officials with the Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Regulators evaluated newspaper, Internet, direct-mail and email ads, as well as ads from other sources, said Thomas Pahl, FTC's assistant director of the division of financial practices. These advertisements could lead consumers to make the biggest mistakes of their lives, said Kent Markus, CFPB's assistant director for enforcement.
The warning letters cite several details in the ads that could mislead service members and veterans, including: a logo very similar to that of the Veterans Affairs Department, the prominent display of a website address that includes the acronym "VA" and the statement that "the VA is offering you" a specific mortgage product. Some ads appeared to be affiliated with other government agencies, such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development or Federal Housing Finance Agency.
In some cases, there were disclaimers in tiny print explaining that the company is not a government agency. In those cases, the fix might be making the disclaimer larger, Pahl said.
Other possible misrepresentations included statements that a specific "fixed" rate was available for 30 years, when the rate was actually an adjustable rate, and suggesting that a rate was part of an "economic stimulus plan" that would expire shortly.
The applicable law is the Mortgage Acts and Practices Advertising Rule, which covers companies such as mortgage brokers, realtors and builders. It does not apply to depository institutions, such as banks and credit unions.

Editor's note: Here's a new submission from Jackie Gross of Silt, who isn't letting the cold weather keep her from a great hunting experience.
"Dreaming of a duck limit, I woke up in just enough time to realize I was only dreaming, and it was time to catch the ducks before they started to take flight on the river. My lab, Katie, was sprawled out on the end of the bed, glaring up at me.
"I get dressed in long johns and feed the dogs, T.J. pours the coffee, and we got ready to get to quaking. With us living on the river, we have the advantage of just hiking a few hundred yards and we are duck ready. Most mornings are cold - very cold; in the low teens and sometimes below zero. As we walked to our blinds, the only warmth I felt was the steam off my breath.
"T.J. set us up, ensuring that the ice shelves were safe, then Katie and I crawl into our little honey hole. No decoys, just the natural flow of the river, which makes hunting tough. But it is worth every shot.
"T.J. watches down river and I watch upriver, waiting on some quack action. A couple of mallard drakes and a few hens come our way and we shoot. Katie hits the water swimming after one that crossed the river. She slides along an ice shelf, watching the duck under the ice swim back and forth, and runs back and forth like a silly prank that you would play.
"I am worried she might fall through, because I worry too much. I am trying to call her off, 'Katie, hear, hear, hear!' Katie is more than just a hunting dog, she is our family pet. Katie gives the duck one last look and comes back across river.
"We start walking back to our spot and two ducks fly over us. Boom! Boom! T.J. shoots and knocks down a mallard hen. Katie hits the river and brings us back some dinner. All I can think is, 'Just a few more and we will have enough for a pot roast!'
'Back in the blind, we wait. It is cold! Katie is shaking, her body is iced over and I pat her to keep her blood circulating. Then, here they come, greenheads!
"T.J. and I shoot to more great success. Katie comes back with our birds, tail wagging. At this point, we are all cold, my belly is growling and it is time to call it a day and eat some yummy breakfast.
"Breakfasts in our Cajun house usually consist of crawfish omelets, pan fried pork chops with hash browns, yummy sweet pancakes, and always your choice of eggs. It just depends on what I, the cook, feel like fixing.
"T.J. calls me the short order chef, but as I call it, 'get your tail feather out there and clean those ducks, so I can get them in a pot.' As always, smiling big. This is usually how our duck hunts begin and end. But the greatest moments are making the memories."
Air Force Airman Kathleen E. Dobert, a 2012 graduate of Rifle High School, graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.
The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills.
Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.
Dobert is the daughter of Candace Dobert of Rifle.

As the Georgian parliament looks at ways of combating sexual violence more effectively, rights activists say official figures seriously understate the scale of the problem, as victims often have a hard time bringing cases.
Georgia's Supreme Court says 170 rape cases have come to trial since 2008, most of them in relation to minors. The city court in the capital Tbilisi, meanwhile, has tried 100 cases in the last six years, with guilty verdicts in all but three.
Rape is not counted among the most serious of crimes on Georgia's lawbooks, and carries a maximum sentence of just six years. Higher sentences of 12 to 20 years are imposed when the victim is a minor.
A 2008 survey conducted by the National Network for Defence Against Violence indicated that 50 per cent of rape victims were aged between 14 and 18, 14 per cent were younger and the rest older.
Mari Meskhi, head of the State Fund for Defending Human Trafficking Victims, said the official statistics were not reliable, since rape tended to go unreported.
"We have recorded just a few cases of sexual violence, but domestic violence victims [can also be] victims of sexual violence," she said.
Others agreed that underreporting skews the statistics.
Nana Dzneladze, a gynaecologist with Sapari, a charity that works with victims of domestic violence, said women rarely reported rape.
"Of all the cases brought to us, I can't remember a single one where someone came to us because of sexual violence alone," she said. "It's only after a few sessions that it becomes apparent that the woman was a victim of sexual violence, but hasn't spoken about it. Sometimes it take years for a victim to speak out, and even then many won't admit it."
Lawyer Eka Kobesashvili said the low number of cases coming to trial reflected a failure to offer victims the right kind of support.
"The problem is the way the law is implemented in practice. There's currently no protection for the victim's rights," she said. "The victim has go to the police, the case is passed from one investigator to the next, she has to go in again and again to give evidence and recall the details. This results in the victim becoming more damaged, suffering psychological trauma and refusing to continue with the case."
Kobesashvili recalled one case where her client had brought a rape allegation against two teenagers. "The case was passed from one prosecutor to another, and after two years of waiting, she got tired of it and refused to go and see the police again or continue with the case," she said.
All too often, police do not even take rape allegations seriously.
Kobesashvili said she had two clients who had gone to the police to report rape by their husbands. "The police treated it as a joke and would not even accept their statements," the lawyer said.
According to Ana Arganashvili, who heads the women's and children's rights unit at the office of the Georgia's human rights ombudsman, this is a systemic problem.
"The report by the National Defender for 2010-11 records numerous cases where the police's response has been inadequate," Arganashvili said. "Although there have been improvements, the information we have indicates that there's still a lot of incompetence around."
Georgia has yet to ratify the Council of Europe's convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, which obliges member states to make such acts criminal offences, respond to all cases reported to them, and provide therapy and other assistance to victims.
A working group in Georgia's parliament is currently looking at how the convention can be harmonised with national legislation.
Experts from the United Nations have already suggested a number of changes to Georgian legislation.
Meskhi said she thought the law itself was adequate, and the fact that more women were prepared to come forward to report rape was encouraging.
"Cases [filed] have increased compared with last year, and that indicates awareness and reporting are improving. There are new protective mechanisms, which means there's now a point to reporting cases," she said.

ganglioglioma. In general, gangliogliomas are classified as grade I or low grade tumors, meaning that they grow slowly and are considered benign. Anaplastic gangliogliomas, however, are considered grade III or high grade tumors, which means that they are usually aggressive, malignant tumors. The main treatment is removal of the entire tumor during surgery. If the entire tumor is not removed, it has the potential to recur and may require additional surgery or treatments, such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Unfortunately, because gangliogliomas are quite rare, there is limited information to show that radiation therapy or chemotherapy are effective treatments for this condition.[1]Anaplastic ganglioglioma (AGG) is a very rare type of brain tumor that is a type of

Taking stock of all that Sandy stole
(Page 2 of 3)
It sounds strange, I know, that we might find sentimental value in a treadmill, a sterile piece of machinery that stares back at you with nothing more than digital readouts. But it was special.
We bought it on the Fourth of July this year. It was the final element that we added to our family room, the last room in our fixer-upper house to be redone. It was a celebratory moment for us, representing a 10-year effort to redo a home that was clearly dated –– antiquated, really –– when we bought it. My wife and I had done much of the work, except electrical and plumbing. We decided to splurge and have someone else put the treadmill together rather than assemble it ourselves.
Everyone ran on it over the summer and into the fall. My wife loved how convenient it made exercising. Descend a flight of stairs and it was there. You could run no matter the weather. The kids loved working the buttons to program it.
My daughter decided to run cross-country at Merrick Avenue Middle School this fall, and she trained on the treadmill daily over the summer, preparing for a pre-season running camp upstate –– her first time away from home. She was having a wonderful cross-country season until Sandy struck, and the final meet was canceled. Her soccer season was canceled as well. Two teams in her Catholic Youth Organization league were from Long Beach, the hardest-hit community on Nassau County's South Shore. CYO officials felt it wouldn't be fair to them to continue. Agreed.
My son loved running on the treadmill so much that he decided to try to start a track club at Levy-Lakeside Elementary School in Merrick, where he's in fifth grade. He created sign-up sheets and posters, and even met with the assistant principal. He was supposed to bring her a final proposal on Oct. 29, when Sandy turned Long Island upside down. School, of course, was canceled that day.
Last week I removed the treadmill, which had been underwater. Mold was growing under the tread, parts were corroded, and rust had set in. I unbolted it, section by section, until I reached bolts that were sealed by salt. Then I smashed the treadmill to bits with a sledgehammer and dragged it to the curb, piece by piece.

Everyone, please write Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray at firstname.lastname@example.com and ask her to donate 75% of the General Services Postage budget (of $2.4 million dollars) to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy, or JUST FORWARD THIS message to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Kate Murray currently sends out about 25 mailings per year. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzq67LIQ3dw for more information about Kate's mailings.
Ask her to give up some of her mailings to help the residents of the Town of Hempstead that were devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
Instead of cutting down trees to make paper for mailings, the Town of Hempstead should use that wood to make houses for the people that lost theirs. Please forward this message to everyone you know.

First off thanks to all that helped during my arduous effort to make this work with what I have.
I started with a Debian 3.0 system, that had been upgraded to 3.1, and years later I have upgraded it to 4.0 (mostly). It still runs Exim3 rather than 4 due to the effort needed to install, let alone migrate to Exim4. This build after many hours/days/weeks turns out to not be able to route email correctly for a split domain.
After realizing this, I blew off steam for an hour or so with heavy machinery in our service bay. Hydraulic rams and flat harddrives are amusing.
Once all my hard drives were pancakish, I decided to forgo the standard split domain recommendations and I set up a subdomain with all roads pointing to Zimbra. It was on our DMZ along with the current mail server.
An hour after uninstalling I had Zimbra up and running. It works, I'm testing, we are evaluating. Thanks all.

True Blood
True Blood Spoilers: Season 6 Premiere Sneak Peek Photos!
True Blood Season 6 will feature a handful of new faces, and we've already given you a first look into the season.
New castmates like Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Rutger Hauer, and Arliss Howard will make their debuts on the show — but as always, it's yet to be seen if their characters will play for the good guys or have a decidedly evil streak.
Last we left Sookie, the fairy came face-to-face with Billith, a new version of her ex-BF Bill, who was transformed after drinking the blood of first vampire Lilith. Now that Bill will presumably be super powerful (and super scary), Sookie will find herself with a new love interest, protrayed by Rob Kazinsky.
So until True Blood Season 6 premieres on Sunday, June 16, get your fill with these spoiler photos from the first episode!
Air Date: True Blood Season 6, Episode 1: "Who Are You, Really?" — Sunday, June 16 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO!

I've been working on a simple ZMS administration interface for our Customer Support department, and one of the big issues is the way the "view mail" system works. Using the offical Admin interface or my own hand-crafted SOAP interface, using preauth (clicking "view mail" in the Admin interface) ships the browser to a URL such as "http://webmail.example.com/service/preauth?authtoken=", in which the HTTP header:
Set-Cookie: ZM_AUTH_TOKEN=MY_REALLY_LONG_AUTH_STRING;Path=/
appears. My issue is this: Many of my support agents use a single browser intance to do their jobs (ie, Firefox with many tabs, etc). When this "view mail" action happens, it kills their currnet cookie with the mail server, thus, logging them out of their own mail instance.
The best solution here is to somehow tell preauth not to set a cookie, but rather just to set a session. If this isnt poissible due to the backend of Zimbra, possibly one could mangle the _name_ of the cookie?
Thanks for all your help ahead of time. As usual, I will post here if I manage to figure this out myself.

Western Washingtom WeekendWritten by on December 1, 2004 Goodguys 17th Pacific Northwest Nationals
Having made my inaugural trip last year, I was eagerly anticipating my trip to this year's Goodguys Puyallup show. While it is not their largest show by any means, this show draws the best of the best that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. In addition to whittling down the large contingent of classic trucks to give out Top Ten awards, I saw some of the finest street rods and customs of the entire country; this was no easy feat since Kevin and I spent the previous weekend at the Columbus Goodguys event.
This year, I also had a local to show me around. Automotive artist Jason Rushforth is a native of nearby Tacoma, Washington, so upon my arrival on Thursday and after shooting photography until the sun went down my other three days (which ended up being around 10:00 p.m.), I got a guided tour of the area. Meanwhile, back at the fairgrounds, the Goodguys crew had no shortage of events and entertainment to keep the showgoers busy. From the welcome party to the poker run to the Friday night drags, not to mention nightly live entertainment on the grounds, there was always some fun to be had somewhere.

Literal question
When was the last time you had sexual intercourse?
Record 'years ago' only if last intercourse was one or more years ago. If 12 months or more the answer must be recorded in years.
Interviewer instructions
By 'the last time you had sexual intercourse' we are referring to the respondent's most recent act of sexual intercourse. In most cases you will record the respondent's answer by using the same units of measure she used in her response. For example, if she says '3 weeks ago', circle '2' and write '03' in the boxes next to 'Weeks ago'. If she says "4 days ago," circle '1' and write '04' next to 'Days ago'. If the respondent says "last night," circle '1' and write '00' for 'Days ago'. If the respondent answers with a month, for example, if she says "it was in December," count the number of months and record months. It may be helpful to write the name of the month in the questionnaire. All responses within the last 12 months will be recorded in months, weeks or days. If the response is 12 months or more, circle '4' and record the answer in years. The 'Years ago' row should be used only if the last intercourse was more than 1 year ago. There should never be a response recorded '00' 'Years Ago'. If the response is 12 months or more, go to the next module. While this question is a simple one, respondents who have not had sexual intercourse recently are likely to round off their answers, and it will be up to you to learn from respondents whether they last had sex more or less than a year ago. For example, a woman with no regular sexual relationships may engage in sexual intercourse on an irregular basis. Perhaps the last time she had sexual intercourse was during a trip she took 10 months ago; she will be more likely to respond "about a year ago," rather than count how many months ago it was. Therefore, you will need to probe all responses of 'a year ago' with: "DO YOU REMEMBER WHICH MONTH IT WAS?" In this way, we will be able to determine whether the respondent actually had intercourse within the last year or more than a year ago. Respondents who last had sexual intercourse, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 months ago may all give responses of 'a year ago'; it will be up to you to clarify when it actually was. Asking the respondent "WAS IT MORE OR LESS THAN A YEAR AGO" is not a very good probe for this question; it would be best to ask, "DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT MONTH IT WAS?" If a woman has not yet resumed intercourse since she had her last child, check CM11 for the month and year of birth of her last child, and ask how long before the birth of that child she had sex the last time.

text: Yeti overhauled its 575 trail bike for its 25th anniversary. Besides the retro yellow-turquoise paint job, Yeti modified the 5.75-inch rear-travel frame so that it could accommodate longer-travel forks while not changing the overall nimble feel and ride of the bike. Yeti opted for beefier chainstays, which have slightly increased the weight of the frame to over seven pounds. The main pivot area is stiffer, with more clearance, but these changes mean riders need a direct mount for the front derailleur. The frame updates aren't limited to the anniversary edition; the changes have been made across the entire 575 line.

WASHINGTON – A police impersonator is making the rounds, Arlington County police say.
The man recently pretended to be a law enforcement officer at two stores in the Pentagon City mall Jan. 3. He flashed a badge, identified himself as a detective and tried to "seize" watches he claimed were evidence in a case.
In both incidents, the store employee refused and the man fled.
He is described as a black male, about 5-feet-8-inches tall and weighing 170 pounds. He was wearing dark jeans, a gray jacket and a red and black plaid hat.

Inventors tune in made-for-TV dreams
Coming soon to a sleepless night near you, the FurIzzy all-in-one dog-, cat- and horse-grooming tool. Or perhaps the Vacuum Duster, whose name says it all. Maybe not the Sae Arc Wooden Pillow, but you never know.
These and other potential late-night TV impulse buys got their spotlight moment Thursday at the Response Expo, the infomercial convention that just wrapped up its three-day residency at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel.
In addition to workshops, inspirational speakers and a tiki party, the expo included a one-day only, not-to-be-missed offer: A "Shark Tank"-style product pitch session with Telebrands, the direct-marketing giant behind the "As Seen on TV" logo. Not to mention such classic "As Seen on TV" items as the space-saving Pocket Hose and the frightening PedEgg, a callous remover that is basically a cheese grater for your feet. At 45 million sold, it is also Telebrands' most successful product.
Nearly 20 prescreened inventors from all over the country (and Sweden) lined up early to show their backpack-organizing, spine-adjusting, dust-bunny vanquishing wares to a panel that included Telebrands founder AJ Khubani. The winner (or winners) could receive a contract with Telebrands, along with the chance to make the infomercial that could change everything.
What does it take to persuade an insomniac to order now? Here is a look at some of the stocking stuffers and gag gifts in your couch-potato future.
The (pretty) sure things: As the man who launched the "As Seen on TV" empire more than 20 years ago with AmberVision sunglasses, Khubani knows what he wants to see on his TV ads.
"It's got to be exciting. It's got to solve an everyday problem," the Telebrands founder said in a phone interview earlier this week. "It's the things people look at and say, 'Why didn't I think of that?' "
Los Angeles architect and product designer Roger Yanagita is hoping he has invented one of those things. And he could be right.
Yanagita's problem to solve is dust. His solution is the Vacuum Duster, an A-ha Moment item that is, in fact, a feather duster attached to a vacuum hose. Unlike a duster, it does not flick dust hither and yon, but instead sends it through the hose into your vacuum cleaner. Unlike a vacuum cleaner, it is not big and clunky and a threat to small objects.
Yanagita demonstrated the Vacuum Duster on a knickknack collection that included an Eiffel Tower snowglobe. The knickknacks emerged unscathed, and Yanagita emerged victorious. More or less.
"It seems kind of stupid at first," Khubani said of Yanagita's "MacGyver"-esque contraption. "But even though it looks dumb, I think people will get it. It's something that could retail for under $20. I think this has a good shot."
A few pitches later, former FBI agent Mark Viau nabbed a Telebrands thumbs up with BackSaverz, an adjustable backpack insert with compartments for books, papers and a laptop, all in an ergonomically correct design that makes the backpack easier on the back. It is ingenious, problem-solving and cheap to produce. Khubani was sold.
"Kids do have back problems, and the organizational aspect is of interest," he mused. "I like this."
Back to the drawing board: Khubani and company — Telebrands vice president Manish Israni and Response Expo honchos John Yarrington and Thomas Haire — spent much of the pitch session on the metaphorical fence, praising inventors for making interesting products while finding reasons not to take them on.
They were intrigued by the wooden Sae Arc pressure-point pillow, but worried about the challenges of proving its health claims. The inShield windshield wiper (by Tim Probasco of Encinitas) was promising, but a little too similar to Telebrands' already-existing Windshield Wonder. They were politely stumped by Leif Levon's light-reflecting technology, which Levon brought all the way from Stockholm in the form of a lawn gnome.

Chavez back in Venezuela, stirs succession talk
CARACAS, Venezuela Hugo Chavez's sudden return to Venezuela after more than two months of cancer treatments in Cuba has fanned speculation that the president could be preparing to relinquish power and make way for a successor and a new election.
The government is insisting that Chavez remains in charge, playing an upbeat jingle on state television Tuesday with the message: "He's back, he's back!" But political analysts said he could soon take the oath of office in a delayed swearing-in ceremony as a first step toward a formal resignation, and a transition of power. Taking the oath, however, wouldn't be required for the country's congress and Supreme Court to call a new election.
Chavez remained silent and out of sight a day after his return was announced on his Twitter account Monday. The government said he was continuing unspecified medical treatments at Caracas' military hospital.
"The big question, beyond where the president is, is whether the president is capable of governing," said Mariana Bacalao, a professor of public opinion at the Central University of Venezuela. She said it seems unlikely that Chavez would be able to overcome his illness.
Even the state newspaper Correo del Orinoco referred to the possibility of a new election in its Monday edition. The top headline, published before Chavez's announced return, reported on a survey by the pollster Hinterlaces that showed Vice President Nicolas Maduro with a double-digit lead over opposition leader Henrique Capriles if a vote were held.
Chavez hasn't spoken publicly since before his latest cancer surgery in Cuba on Dec. 11, and critics are questioning whether a leader who has been breathing through a tube and is unable to appear in public is now capable of remaining in office.
"This tension isn't sustainable for much longer. Now that he's here, they can't let another 70 days pass for an image to appear or for him to speak," Bacalao said. "There has to be a convincing response because people are waiting for an outcome."
Chavez's political allies have left open the possibility that the president may finally take the oath of office, a ceremony originally scheduled for last month. But they have given few precise details about his cancer or what sort of "complex and tough" treatment he is undergoing.
Aides and politicians in Chavez's camp have said he should be given as much time as he needs to recover.
"We can't demand anything more of Chavez. Now we have to see how we can help more, being more efficient, more productive," Aragua state Gov. Tareck El Aissami said on state television on Tuesday.
Bolivian President Evo Morales, a friend and ally of Chavez, made a brief visit to Caracas on Tuesday and arrived at the military hospital together with Maduro. Morales left the hospital later without speaking to reporters.
Chavez's return came less than three days after the government released the first photos of the president in more than two months, showing him in a bed looking bloated and smiling alongside his daughters.
The government has yet to release any images of the president in Caracas. But as soon as his return was announced on Monday, supporters held upbeat street celebrations and set off fireworks.
The way the government has played his return seems one more attempt to take advantage of the situation and "keep the government political class in power," said Jose Vicente Carrasquero, a political science professor at Simon Bolivar University in Caracas.
The 58-year-old Chavez was re-elected to a new six-year term in October, and his inauguration, originally scheduled for Jan. 10, was indefinitely postponed by lawmakers despite complaints by the opposition. The Supreme Court upheld the decision and said the president could be sworn in at a later date before the court.

May 25, 2016
A Quincy jury found Deric Mordica not guilty Friday. A female inmate accused Moridca of exchanging sex for bond money.
She claimed Mordica did not post her bond, and said that is when she reported the incident.
Sex between guards and inmates is illegal in Florida whether it's consensual or not.
"It was a fairly straightforward case, the state really didn't have any physical evidence to support the alleged victim's statements, it took the jury about 30 minutes to deliver a verdict and I think that's just about all they needed to find him not guilty."
The victim has a pending civil lawsuit against Mordica and the Gadsden County sheriff's office.

It's beginning to look a lot like the holidays, isn't it, Bits and Bramblers? What with everyone decking their halls, shopping for presents, baking cookies, and bundling up in warm coats, because it's cold outside. Cold, but not snowing.
Which I am okay with, really. I'm one of those "only wants snow at the end of December and then never again" kind of people. I mean, snow's great when it means you get to miss school, but…when you have to walk in it? Or worse yet, drive in it? Not so fun.
There are some kinds of snow I don't mind, though. Like, let's say, the kind of snow you find in books. If you're in the holiday spirit and missing the white stuff, check out Let It Snow. It's three short stories written by some of the coolest teen authors out there—Maureen Johnson, John Green, and Lauren Myracle, and if you're looking to curl up on the couch with a blanket, this is the book for you.
Find out more about the book by watching our book trailer…and let it snow! (Maybe. Not really.)

The America's Most Beautiful Roadster Trophy - Grand National Roadster ShowWritten by Eric Geisert on June 1, 2012 History in the making
Quite possibly the most well-known accolade in hot rodding—the Amercia's Most Beautiful Roadster award—originally came into being as a publicity stunt. When Al and Mary Slonaker were busy organizing the first National Roadster Show (later to be called the Grand National Roadster Show) for 1950, Al came up with the idea of having a magnificent trophy to really impress people and call attention to the show—and it worked.
Mary, now 94 years old and living in Arizona, easily remembers that Granat Brothers was contracted to construct the trophy that, in its original form, stood 8-1/2 feet tall. Granat Brothers was on the corner of Mission and 20th Streets in San Francisco for several decades before being bought by Zales in the '60s, but back in the teen era of the early 20th century they sponsored baseball teams in the San Francisco Midwinter League. Nowadays the Art Deco rings and jewelry made decades ago by Granat Brothers fetches thousands of dollars at auction, so a one-off, 8-foot trophy crafted by them would have to be nearly priceless.
Mary is still surprised at the success and longevity of the show, which recently celebrated its 62nd anniversary, and she comments that neither she nor Al "thought it would last" and that the roadster show "would be a local thing." But nothing could be further from the truth as the show has grown to be not just a major national event, but an international one as well.
In the earliest days of the show (which was 10 days long to take advantage of the week between Washington and Lincoln's birthdays), winners of the AMBR were allowed to take the big trophy home for the year, as Mary believed "it was a good promotion for a business if they had it in their showroom or place of business."
That practice of letting the winners take the trophy home stopped in the '70s, but each winner's name is still engraved on a plaque secured to the base of the trophy—a base that grows by 3 inches every time a new tier is needed. Which brings up another question: How tall is the trophy? Some have said 8 feet, or 8-1/2, and even 9 feet and beyond, so some measurements had to be taken. Before this year's show STREET RODDER senior editor, Eric Geisert, broke out his trusty tape measure to measure each section of the trophy as it emerged from its brand-new storage case.
The official height of the trophy as it stands now is 9 feet. It used to be 8-1/2 feet in its original form, which is before a 3-inch tier was added for extra names of the winners and the trophy's topper was changed. So, by the numbers, four sections of 3-inch tiers (12 inches) makes up the stepped base, the large wooden center structure is 28 inches tall, the cup comes in at 51 inches, and the little man at the top is 17 inches tall.
But now that the mystery of the trophy's height is solved, another has crept up to take its place. The trophy looks decidedly different today than when it made its debut in 1950. To further muddy things up, all through the '50s and '60s the trophy changed its looks, seemingly every couple of years.
The upper section of the cup has had several different engravings while today there is none, and in the '60s the trophy featured small orbs along the middle section along with a five small stars secured to the outer uprights. By 1970, when Andy Brizio won the award with his Instant T, the middle section sported winged victory figures and no star-shaped tabs. We contacted historian Greg Sharp to see what he had in vintage photos, and his collection surprised us even more as, upon closer inspection, the pictures detailed even more changes through the years.
No one seems to know why the trophy changed through the years but, one thing that hasn't changed: the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award has been and will continue to be the highest honor a roadster owner will ever know. If anyone has old photos of the AMBR trophy they'd like to share, we'd like to see them. Email them to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll publish them.

That is until another tier is added for future winner's names.The irrepressible George Barris stands with the AMBR trophy and the car that won it for him in 1962: the Twister T.

LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) — Ann Romney has stepped out into a new role for the final stretch of the campaign: Character witness and defender in chief.
She admonishes her husband's Republican critics. And she tries to convince woman that Mitt Romney is on their side. She also counters the portrait her husband's opponent paints of a soul-less corporate raider.
In the weeks since her big convention debut, she has become the center of a campaign within the campaign.
She has her own charter airplane, holds her own fundraisers, campaigns at her own events, and often sits down for more local interviews than the nominee.
On Monday, she held an event in Henderson, Nev., competing with President Barack Obama, who was in town to prepare for his head-to-head matchup with Mitt Romney.

BALTIMORE (AP) - Fire officials say a woman is dead after a house fire in the Pimlico area of northwest Baltimore.
Firefighters were called to the home Friday afternoon. Officials say the woman's body was found in the basement area of the home.
Fire Chief Kevin Cartwright says they believe the cause of death was smoke inhalation and burns. But the state medical examiner will have to determine the official cause of death.
Police have classified the woman's death as suspicious but aren't releasing information until the medical examiner's report is complete. Police say homicide investigators were called to the scene.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

1951 Lincoln Ruby CustomWritten by on September 26, 2013 Contributors: Wes Allison Candy Land Lincoln
You'd need a big pair and/or a pea brain to dare debut a candy-red custom at Sacramento's Autorama, an historic show whose judges include the inventor of candy-apple paint. To be so ballsy in Joe Bailon's backyard—a region that's produced more customizing legends than anyplace else on earth (Bailon, the Barris boys, Bertolucci, Bagdasarian, DeRosa, Westergard, Winfield, and so on)—is to risk ridicule from the masters, in person. Though the survivors are in their 80s and 90s now, most still manage to make an event that's been making and breaking customizers' careers since 1950. So you can't blame Autorama builders who choose a color—any color—other than candy-apple red.
Less than two months before the show's 63rd edition (covered in Roddin' at Random, pages 10–14), Mike Garner and this 1951 Lincoln were stuck on the side of the road. Car-show glory was the last thing on Mike's mind. He'd known that this old custom, chopped and briefly shown in the mid-'60s, had been wrecked repeatedly, improperly repaired, and parked for years on end, if not decades. "A buddy wanted to unload the car, and I figured I'd just drive it 'til I could flip it," he explains. "The roofline was all right, and the drivetrain was good. Everything else needed fixing." Some butcher had even yanked a fender from a Mercury and tweaked it to fit the big sister's hood, more or less. The latch was badly misaligned. Mike found out the hard way: "On my way home from picking up the car, the hood flew open on the freeway. It folded back onto the roof, crushed the cowl, crunched the firewall, messed up the fenders."
Ironically, that unfortunate Lincoln-Mercury sheetmetal mismatch in early January set off a chain of events that would send a rebuilt Ruby to Sacramento in mid-February. In the steamy heap of bent steel and Bondo, John D'Agostino, Mike's pal and 10-time hall of famer, saw an opportunity to supercharge the launch of their joint venture, Celebrity Kustoms (CelebrityKustoms.com; 209/832-3320). "Thirty-five days before the Sacramento show, Mike said, 'Since we've got to fix the doggone thing, we might as well go for it,'" John recalls. "We knew we had the talent and equipment in-house to build a complete custom. Without that control, it wouldn't have been possible to do one in five weeks."
Yes, some compromises were inevitably accepted in a 'round-the-clock thrash that consumed more than 1,000 man-hours. Mike, a lifelong metal bender and ironworker's son, is anxious to modify the Mustang II front suspension he inherited and swap in a bench seat. John also has some minor tweaks in mind, once fan interest subsides. That teardown may have to wait a while; their Lincoln's trophy-winning debut points to sustained popularity and touring. In Sacramento, West Coast Kustoms bestowed its Outstanding Nostalgia honor onto the five-week wonder. That ballsy color call in Mr. Bailon's own backyard didn't hurt, either. Ruby's sweet candy coating helped earn the coveted Joe Bailon award, an Autorama trophy handcrafted and personally presented by the 90-year-old pioneer.
