BRIDGEPORT - When it comes to girls' basketball games in the Ohio Valley, you'd be hard pressed to find one better than the one that unfolded Wednesday evening inside the John J. Havlicek Gymnasium at Bridgeport High School.
Third-seeded Shadyside and second-seeded Bridgeport treated the huge crowd to a dandy.
In the end, however, the deep shooting of talented Tigers senior Karli Bonar proved to be too much for the Bulldogs to overcome as Shadyside punched its ticket to its fourth straight Wheeling Hospital OVAC Girls' Basketball Championship game with a 52-49 victory.
"I said when they first started this tournament that it was a great idea because it gave you a tournament atmosphere before the actual sectional tournament begins and (Wednesday night) was definitely a great atmosphere," Shadyside coach Tina Yates said. "We're excited to get out of here with a win. Bridgeport's a really quality team that gave us all we wanted. We were fortunate to just make a few more shots."
Next up for the Tigers (14-7) is a date with top-seeded Wheeling Central in a rematch of last season's 2A title game, which was won by the Maroon Knights. Tip-off is slated for 10 a.m. Saturday at Ohio University Eastern.
Bridgeport, meanwhile, suffered its second loss in 21 outings. The Bulldogs will make a trip to Clay-Battelle a date to be determined next week for the consolation game of the 2A tournament.
"Everybody made fun of our schedule, but we were 19-1 with the same schedule we've played for the three years I've been here," Bridgeport coach Rob Zitzelsberger said. "I think we earned a lot of respect here (Wednesday night). Shadyside has a great program, great coach and a couple of great players. We left it all on the floor. I am proud of the girls and I hope everyone else is, too."
The Bulldogs defended Bonar pretty well for the most part. They challenged her shots and forced her well behind the arc. As it turns out, they played right into the senior sharpshooter's hands. Bonar buried seven 3-pointers, finished with 28 points and, in the process, became the state of Ohio's all-time leading 3-point shooter for her career.
Bonar needed four bonus baskets entering the game and connected on the record-breaker at the 6:52 mark of the third quarter. She ended the third-quarter with a 3-pointer from the left corner, which put her ahead of the boys' record as well.
The University of Findlay-bound sniper opened the fourth with another bomb, giving the Tigers a 42-38 upperhand.
Bridgeport, however, roared back with seven straight points, including a 3-pointer by junior ace Nicole Smolenak, which put the Bulldogs up by three.
The lead was short-lived. Shadyside answered back with a conventional three-point play from Kristen Fijalkowski.
Maclaine Murad put Bridgeport back on top with a bucket on the next trip. Again, Shadyside answered. This time, Bonar put the ball on the deck and blew by the Bulldogs' defense for a layup.
Bridgeport turned it over and Bonar made them pay with her final bonus goal, making it 50-47.
Talented Bridgeport freshman Caitlyn Kroll meshed two at the line, getting her team back within one. However, Shadyside was able to run off nearly 40 seconds before Bridgeport caught the Tigers for a foul, which was just their sixth.
After a few more seconds, Shadyside senior Hayley Holenka cashed in two foul shots, making it 52-49.
Bridgeport threw a baseball pass to halfcourt and the ball was deflected out of bounds off a Tiger. The Bulldogs then in-bounded, got a great look from WNBA range, but the shot rimmed out.
"It looked good when it left her hand," Yates said. "I was wondering why we went for a steal there, but maybe it worked out cause we could have fouled her."
Bonar's scoring was complemented by Holenka, who finished with 10. Kenzi Fielding added eight points.
Bridgeport was well balanced. Smolenak had 23 to lead the way. Kroll added 14 points and 10 boards. Murad finished with nine points.

New federal budget deal includes provision to delist wolves
Provision to delist wolves comes as judge rejects a settlement that would have done the same thing.
BY ROCKY BARKER - firstname.lastname@example.com
Copyright: © 2011 Idaho Statesman
Published: 04/10/11
WASHINGTON — Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson got his rider delisting wolves in Idaho and Montana into the budget bill that prevented the government shutdown Friday.
And it came just in time.
On Saturday, U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy of Missoula rejected a settlement between 10 environmental groups and the Obama administration that would have removed wolves from the endangered-species list and allowed Idaho and Montana to resume state management of wolf populations — which included hunting seasons.
"Molloy's ruling demonstrates why Congressman Simpson's language is so necessary to address this issue for the West," said Nikki Watts, Simpson's press secretary.
Simpson, chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior and the Environment, had included the wolf provision in the original House budget resolution that ended up being negotiated in the long talks between the House and the Senate that ended Friday.
Simpson's original wolf provision would reinstate the 2009 decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to delist the gray wolf in Idaho and Montana. But the new language — and the final budget resolution bill — won't be finished until later this week.
Malloy's 24-page decision Saturday said he did not have authority to return wolves to Idaho and Montana state management in part because all 13 groups that sued did not agree to the settlement.
The developments threw environmentalists for a loop. They had supported the settlement to relieve the pressure from angry hunters and state officials who say the Rocky Mountain wolf population is recovered. They didn't want to set a precedent of having Congress remove wolves from the protection of the federal Endangered Species Act.
"Congressional leaders should put this forth as a stand-alone bill if they want to undercut one of the foundations of American environmental law, rather than sneaking it through the back door," said Andrew Wexler, Director of Natural Resource Defense Council's Wildlife Conservation Program.
The proposed settlement had effectively asked Molloy to reverse his previous rulings. Last August he faulted the Fish and Wildlife Service for a 2009 decision that took wolves off the endangered list in Montana and Idaho but not neighboring Wyoming. He also said decisions on the Endangered Species Act should be based on science and not on political boundaries, such as state lines.
The federal government appealed that decision, leading to the proposed settlement agreement that has now been rejected.
"I can't blame Molloy for the ruling," said Kieran Suckling of the Center for Biological Diversity, one of the 10 conservation groups favoring the settlement. "It's a very tortuous situation. We entered into a settlement agreement we didn't love but thought it was the lesser of two evils."
Montana Democratic Sen. Jon Tester had supported language similar to Simpson's, and his support helped it stay in the final budget deal.
"This wolf fix isn't about one party's agenda," Tester said. "It's about what's right for Montana and the West — which is why I've been working so hard to get this solution passed, and why it has support from all sides."
Yes of coarse I was serious. Im the one that takes this the most serious of anyone I know. I have had my hands in the political ring of wolf issues going on in Idaho for two years now, and have had many successful calls with SFW, IFG, and many involved politicians in Idaho that have helped to get us this far.
Besides that, we dont need to coerce our Gov at all, he has our backs far ahead of anything we want, he just has to play it politically correct in order to get it done the right way for us.
There will be a hunt this year now.... I Can not wait...so excited.
I hunt because......
It would be fantastic news if the wolf delisting was included inthe budget bill. I could even stomach the ptitiful attempt to reign in government spending if this rider was included.
I don't have any reason to disbelieve the above posts. There have been so many twists in this wolf battle I am just afraid to celebrate to soon.
Llp....I'm right there with you. Barefooted, granola-packing conservationists always find a way to screw it up. We'll pass the whiskey when we have a couple hundred less wolves in the Rocky Mountain ecosystem.
I'm skeptical as well llp and Futboler, I hope that nothing screws it up. If it does happen then congrats to ID and MT! Have fun with your wolf hunt, wish they would have included WY on the bill so we could all have a hunt this year. Guess that is what we get for being bullheaded and holding out put wolves in the same category as coyotes in most of the state.

Port of Savannah attracting bigger vessels
December 13, 2010
The CMA CGM Figaro made its second call on the Port of Savannah late last week, signaling a sign of things to come.
"As one of the larger vessels calling on the U.S. East Coast, the Figaro allows American companies to better compete on a global scale by loading more exports and transporting them overseas quicker," said port spokesmen.
The 8,500-twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) capacity vessel covers the U.S. West Coast, Far East and U.S. East Coast trade via the Suez Canal.
Like the neighboring ports of Charleston, and Jacksonville, Savannah is aggressively pursuing anticipated "post-Panamax" traffic that will be generated in 2014 with the widening of the Canal.
In order to more efficiently handle vessels like the Figaro, the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP) will deepen the river from its current 42 foot depth to as much as 48 feet. This project – one of the most important and productive civil works projects in the country – will maintain and create jobs and commerce throughout the region. ?
"Making ports attractive as part of a routing option may be about focusing on responsiveness," said Mary Burns, who heads the Port Performance Research Network, at Dalhousie University, in Nova Scotia.
In an interview with LM, she said Savannah is one of the fastest growing ports in the nation.
Georgia's deepwater ports and inland barge terminals support more than 295,000 jobs throughout the state annually and contribute $15.5 billion in income, $61.7 billion in revenue and $2.6 billion in state and local taxes to Georgia's economy.
Georgia Ports Authority's (GPA) Executive Director Curtis J. Foltz told LM earlier this year that the GPA'strategic planning has ensured that Georgia's deepwater ports are poised to handle the growth demands necessary to advance economic development and opportunity.
"Even during the recessionary conditions experienced during the past two years, the GPA has continued to invest for the future to ensure growth can be handled more efficiently than ever," he said.

Testimony :: Hon. Benjamin L. Cardin
Ranking Member - Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
Mr. Chairman, today's hearing with Belgian Foreign Minister Minister Karel De Gucht focusing on Belgium's chairmanship of OSCE is particularly timely as a number of us prepare for the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly's Annual Session to be held next week in Brussels. The OSCE is a dynamic process that has gone through several phases since the signing of the 1975 Helsinki Final Act – from the dark days of repression during the Cold War to the heady days of the late 80's and early 90's, the bleak days that witnessed genocide in the Balkans, to the challenges of the present day. Throughout, we have had the benefit of the OSCE's comprehensive approach to security encompassing all three dimensions of the process – military security, economic and environment, and the human dimension. For three decades now, the U.S. Helsinki Commission has sought to make real the promises contained in the Helsinki Final Act, work that is far from complete.
Although the Commission is best known for the human dimension, we also recognize the multidimensional nature of many of the challenges facing the participating States, including the United States. Human trafficking, corruption, terrorism and many other problem areas each have a security dimension, an economic dimension and a human dimension.
In recent years, I have concentrated much of my effort on the economic and environmental dimension, including through my work as Chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly's Committee on Economic Affairs, Science, Technology and Environment (Second Committee). I appreciate the focus of the Belgian chairmanship on combating international crime. This Commission provided some important leadership in pressing for the issue of corruption to be address at the Istanbul summit. I continue to view that issue as a continuing impediment to progress in all aspects of the Helsinki process, including economic and environmental issues. During our meeting in Brussels we will be discussing the new United Nations Convention Against Corruption, and our Committee will urge the OSCE Participating States to ratify and implement this new convention, which for the first time reaches both public and private conduct.
Recently, the Commission held a hearing in connection with the 20th anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster, an event that has lingering consequences for people in Belarus, Ukraine and parts of the Russian Federation. Indeed corrupt Soviet practices exacerbated that accident and complicate efforts to contain contaminated materials that remain at the Chornobyl plant.
Corruption, disaster response and energy sustainability are issues that present unique challenges to all of our countries, but particularly to governments in transition. There is clearly much work to be done. I am confident, however, that by sharing experiences and working cooperatively, we can see results. In this regard, I would be remiss if I did not mention the valuable work being done by Mr. Bernard Snoy, the Coordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities, and his excellent staff.
Mr. Minister, welcome and I look forward to hearing about your priorities for the balance of the Belgian chairmanship and your insights that can help us beyond your term in office.

Sidney Poitier was born prematurely on Feb. 20, 1927, to Bahamian citizens and tomato farmers, Reggie and Evelyn Poitier, on a trip to Miami, FL to bring their harvest to market. Weighing only three pounds as a newborn, his parents did not know if he would survive, and in Miami, his mother sought the prognosis of a local fortuneteller, who, for fifty cents, reassured her. As Poitier later recalled the story in his memoir The Measure of a Man, his mother was told that Sidney would not only survive, he would "travel to most of the corners of the Earth. He will walk with kings. He will be rich and famous. Your name will be carried all over the world." Poitier did survive and grew up o... Continue Bio >>

Scott beats Cabrera in a playoff at Augusta
AUGUSTA, Ga. Adam Scott barely had time to think about an Australian in a green jacket when a sudden roar from the 18th green and a quick look at the TV reminded him it's never been easy. Not for him in the majors. And certainly not for the Aussies at Augusta National.
He thought for a second it was over when he made a 20-foot birdie putt, the kind that always wins the Masters. In the scoring room, one last cheer on a soggy Sunday caused Scott to look up at the television after Angel Cabrera produced a great shot of his own, a 7-iron to 3 feet for birdie to force a playoff.
Not again.
"The golf gods can't be this cruel to Australia," Greg Norman, the symbol of heartache at Augusta, said in a text to friends who were watching nervously.
Scott knocked in a 12-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to win that green jacket, personal redemption for his own failure last summer in the British Open and an end to more than a half-century of Australian misery at the Masters.
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!
"We like to think we're the best at everything. Golf is a big sport at home, and this is the one thing in golf we hadn't been able to achieve," Scott said. "It's amazing that it's my destiny to be the first Australian to win. It's incredible."
Halfway around the world on Monday morning, commuters cheered on buses going into Brisbane, the capital of Scott's home state of Queensland. A speech by the prime minister was interrupted to give an update on the playoff.
The celebration was sweet, especially for the 32-year-old Scott.
It was only last summer when Scott threw away the British Open by making bogey on his last four holes to lose by one shot to Ernie Els. He handled that wrenching defeat with dignity and pledged to finish stronger if given another chance. "Next time - I'm sure there will be a next time - I can do a better job of it," he said that day.
Scott was close to perfect, and he had to be with Cabrera delivering some brilliance of his own.
Moments after Scott made his clutch birdie on the 18th hole for a 3-under 69 to take a one-shot lead - "C'mon, Aussie!" he screamed - Cabrera answered with one of the greatest shots under the circumstances, setting up an easy birdie and a 2-under 70. They finished at 9-under 279.
They both chipped close for par on the 18th in the first playoff hole, and Cabrera's 15-foot birdie putt on the 10th grazed the right side of the cup. Scott his 6-iron into about 12 feet, leaving him one putt away from a green jacket.
Under darkening clouds - no sudden-death playoff at the Masters had ever gone more than two holes - Scott said he could barely read the putt. That's when he called over caddie Steve Williams and asked him to take over. Williams was on the bag for 13 of Tiger Woods' majors, and read the putt that helped Woods to the 1999 PGA Championship.
"I said, `Do you think it's just more than a cup?' He said, `It's at least two cups. It's going to break more than you think,' " Scott said. "He was my eyes on that putt."
"The winning putt might be the highlight putt of my career," Williams said. "Because he asked me to read it."
With that long putter anchored to his chest, the putt was pure. The Masters had been the only major that never had a champion use a long putter. Scott's win means four of the last six major champions used a putter pressed against their belly or chest, a stroke that might be banned in 2016.

Written By Elon Sports Information Dept.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Four Elon Phoenix football players were among those honored by the Southern Conference on Nov. 26 with all-league or all-freshman team accolades. Junior Kierre Brown was a second-team All-SoCon selection as a return specialist by both the coaches and media.
The maroon and gold placed three on the league's all-freshman squad -- running back B.J. Bennett, linebacker John Silas and punter David Petroni.
Brown, a native of Charlotte, N.C., ranked second in the SoCon by averaging 24.2 yards per kick return over the course of 12 games. He also returned five punts for an average of 21.8 yards and one touchdown. His punt return TD was the first for the program since 2009. Brown was named the league's special teams player of the week following the final game of the 2013 campaign. As a receiver, Brown caught 50 passes for 448 yards and two scores. He also ran the ball 14 times for 144 yards.
Bennett, who hails from West Columbia, S.C., was one of three Phoenix running backs to rush for more than 400 yards in 2013. Bennett compiled a team-best 464 rushing yards on 123 carries in 10 games. His four rushing touchdowns were tied for the most on the squad. In the passing game, Bennettt caught 19 balls for 116 yards and one TD.
Silas, a resident of Powder Springs, Ga., finished 2013 ranking second on the team with 71 total tackles. Of those stops, six were for a loss, including 1.5 sacks. Silas broke up two passes and posted one quarterback hurry. Against Georgia Southern, Silas amassed a personal-best 14 total tackles. He also recorded 12 total tackles, including six solo stops, in a victory at SoCon champion Furman.
Petroni, a native of Buford, Ga., averaged 42.1 yards per punt during his freshman campaign. He twice booted punts of 59 yards and 14 of his 73 kicks were for 50 or more yards. Of his 73 punts, 33 were placed inside the 20-yard line and five went for touchbacks.

Important fall dates ahead
By Teri Moss
County Executive Director
New Fall Reporting Deadline There is a new reporting deadline for fall seeded crops and forage. In order to better align our reporting dates with the Risk Management Agency (RMA), FSA has moved our fall seeded and forage reporting deadline to Nov. 15. Once you are done planting, please give our office a call to set up an appointment to certify your wheat, oats, alfalfa, and pasture by Nov. 15. If there are any changes to your farming operation, please notify the office as soon as possible so we can make those changes prior to certification. CRP Haying/Grazing Updates Emergency grazing of approved CRP practices has been extended to Nov. 30. Producers are reminded that all other emergency grazing provisions apply which include maintaining minimum grazing height restrictions according to the revised conservation plan. Livestock must be removed the earlier of when that minimum height is reached or Nov. 30. If you are unsure if your CRP practice meets the qualifications for the extension, please contact the FSA or NRCS office. Producers are reminded that they have until Oct. 1, to report the actual acres hayed or grazed under emergency and managed provisions. Y ou are required to report the tonnage of hay, or the number of cattle that grazed the CRP. On hayed CRP, all bales must also be removed by Oct. 15. The CRP payment reduction can either be paid at that time of reporting or you can elect that your CRP payment be offset. Annual Payments Sept. 30 marks the end of the fiscal year for FSA and October is the month when payments are issued. If we have received all the necessary eligibility paperwork that is required, producers can expect to see their final 2012 Direct and Counter Cyclical Program (DCP) and Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) direct payments and annual CRP rental payments by mid October. If you have direct deposit and have made any changes in bank accounts since payments last year, please let us know as soon as possible so we can update our system before your payment is processed in next few weeks.

BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA9) -- A local teacher is using technology to help teach his students inside and outside of the classroom.
Jim Kuhn, a teacher at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, is putting lectures on YouTube for students to go home and brush up on the lectures of the day.
Students who need that extra boost at home are really enjoying it.
"I struggled paying attention in class, but with this system I can just go home look at a video and if I don't understand something I can just rewind a video rather than just getting lost in the lesson, said Grant Beske, a Junior at Whitman.
So Kuhn thought, if it works so well with his students, then he'll use the same tactic for parents on "back to school night" at Whitman.
"I watched the video and had a couple of questions, then I sent him an email. At back to school night parents came back with questions too," said Elizabeth Beske, a parent a Whitman High School.
The videos also answer questions students may have about the teacher's methods in class. They can actually watch the video and experience the teacher, first hand.

Dean Jeffries's MantarayWritten by on June 23, 2005 One Piece Beauty that's Both Futuristic and timeless
When the name Dean Jeffries pops up in conversation, most car guys will automatically nod in agreement that, yes, this is one man who truly understands cool customs, wild flames, and precise pinstripes. After all, those were Jeffries's stocks-in-trade when he stepped forward as a major player in the custom car field back in the 1950s. His emerging presence also added credence to the phrase "Von Dutch and The Kid." Back in those days Jeffries hung out with the social-misfit Kenneth Howard, in the process learning his skills as a painter and striper. You've probably figured out by now that Jeffries was "The Kid" of the duo.
Despite his reputation as a customizer, The Kid's first love happened to be racing. In fact, racing has always been Jeffries's passion, and today he'll tell you, "Racing has been my whole life." His romance with the racetrack eventually led to the creation of the Mantaray, but before you can appreciate why he built this street-rod-cum-show-car, it's best to understand how Jeffries became hooked on racing in the first place.
Jeffries grew up in the town of Compton, California, home of many early-day hot rodders and racers. One aspiring racer who happened to live only a few houses down the block from young Jeffries was Troy Ruttman. Sharing an interest in cars, they became good friends. Ruttman, in particular, happened to be a fledging driver with a promising career. Tall and dashing, with handsome looks and lightning reflexes, Ruttman personified the typical race car driver of that time. In 1949 he landed his first ride at The Brickyard, finishing 12th in the 500 behind the wheel of the Carter Special. By 1951 he was driving for the legendary J.C. Agajanian, and together they won the greatest race of them all in 1952.
That also happened to be the year Ruttman's friend, Dean Jeffries, showed up at Indy with his box of horsehair brushes and paint bottles, ready to do work. He spent the month striping race cars and drivers' helmets, and he established a reputation among Gasoline Alley tenants when he striped the Agajanian car.
"I just worked at it night and day," recalls Jeffries about those early years at Indy. His annual pilgrimages to Indy not only helped him establish a reputation as a hot-shot striper, he also picked up a few race car-building techniques along the way. By 1960 he had become a rather proficient innovator and metalman, although to this day he says he was never truly a fabricator. Maybe history will judge differently, especially for automotive historians who use Mantaray when gauging Jeffries's talents.
But when Jeffries built the Mantaray in 1963, he didn't care about what history held in store for him or his single-seat creation. Instead, he had his eye on the grand prize that Oakland Roadster Show promoter Al Slonaker had posted in the form of the Tournament of Fame. As the name indicates, this was a special competition, open to only a select number of pro-builders. It would be akin to inviting only guys like Boyd Coddington, Roy Brizio, and Ed Pratt to compete for a special prize today. Bill Cushenbery won the first Tournament of Fame, taking home the gold with his bubbletop Silhouette. For his efforts he earned a trip to Europe, a large cash prize, and a free automobile.
The tournament appealed to Jeffries, and he became an entrant for 1964. The car that he planned to build would showcase the talents that he had acquired during the years as a custom car builder, painter, and Gasoline Alley refugee every May at Indianapolis.
Let's freeze-frame our story for a moment to point out another interesting chapter in Jeffries's career as a car builder. In 1962 he went to work for Carroll Shelby who, at that time, possessed only the idea for the soon-to-be Cobra sports car. Shelby's plan was to take a lightweight two-seat sports car, wedge a brutish American-made V-8 engine under its hood, and go racing. Originally, Shelby ventured to Chevrolet with his proposal, but the Bow Tie boys cordially showed him to the door; as it turned out, they were building a hot-shot version of the new Corvette Sting Ray, called the Z06 racer.
So Shelby did what any enterprising young American would do--he went to the next door on the block, which happened to be Ford Motor Company, and gave the same sales pitch. At the time Ford didn't have anything like the Sting Ray in the works, so they obliged with a couple of small-block V-8 motors for Shelby to play with. When he returned to his headquarters in Los Angeles, Shelby turned Jeffries loose to build the first Cobra, a car based on the aluminum-skinned AC Bristol, a British sports car that pretty much fit the parameters set by Shelby. Moreover, this project allowed Jeffries to hone his aluminum-fabricating skills that would prove invaluable a few months later when he started work on Mantaray.
Jeffries is the first to admit that he's no engineer. Given that, he wasted little time trying to concoct his own chassis for Mantaray. Instead, he dusted off a couple of old Maserati Formula 1 Grand Prix cars that he had acquired a few years earlier from his first father-in-law. Jeffries makes it clear that, contrary to what has been written in the past about his car, Mantaray's frame is not based on the fabled Maserati Birdcage, which happened to be a two-seat sports car. Mantaray is a single seater, based on a Formula 1 car of questionable 1950s vintage: "I really can't remember what year the Maseratis were built," Jeffries points out today.
In any case, he pirated the best parts from both chassis, then went to work building his entry for the 1964 Tournament of Fame. First thing he did was trash the temperamental Italian engines ("Boy, was that a big mistake! Do you realize how much those are worth today?" Jeffries will tell you now.). Naturally, the old sheetmetal was scrapped, too, as were a few other choice parts. But for the most part the frame, suspension, brakes, and steering remain Italian-made. The rest of the car, with exception of the four downdraft Weber carburetors, is true-blue American, right down to the 15-inch magnesium-cast Halibrand wheels and the bred-for-Indianapolis Goodyear Blue Streak Speedway Special tires.
No doubt, Mantaray's curvaceous lines are stunning, reflecting a true work of art. But the real beauty that any skinned-to-the-knuckles street rodder can appreciate is in how Jeffries created that body. First, know this: it took 86 individual pieces of sheet aluminum to form that luscious body, each part pounded into shape by hand. Knowing that, it's challenging to examine the 36-year-old body up close to see where the weld seams lie. Whether you have the eyes of a 62-year-old or a 26-year-old, you'll be hard pressed to see where Jeffries set the bead back in '63.
For all it's worth, the body appears to be formed from a single piece of material. Gaze at it some more and you tangle with another thought: How the heck does it come off the frame? Well, according to Jeffries, the sleek body was engineered for easy removal, and in fact body and frame spent a number of years separated when Mantaray was retired from the show circuit a few years after its conception. Recalls Jeffries, "I really didn't have any use for it (Mantaray) any more, but I didn't want to get rid of it, so I yanked the body and hung it from the ceiling, and parked the rest of the car in the corner of the shop." Fortunately for hot rod posterity he never pilfered parts from the car for other projects, so it took little work to restore Mantaray a few years ago. Essentially, Jeffries applied a new coat of pearl white, polished some odds and ends, and rolled the finished product into the Petersen Automotive Museum where the car resides today.
It's worth pointing out, too, that the body rests on a series of sub-frame attachment points strategically placed throughout the Maserati frame. "I took tricks for building an Indy car, and used them for this car," explains Jeffries.
One trick he had to learn himself was in working with plexiglass to form the bubbletop. Bubbletops were vogue among show cars back in the early 1960s, and while some builders enlisted the assistance of huge pizza ovens to mold their Plexiglas tops during that same time, Jeffries fashioned Mantaray's top the old-fashioned way. He used a tube to blow air into molten plastic, until it bubbled to the proper size. "Then I let it cool overnight, came back and cut and formed it," he tells us today. He makes it sound simple, but even Jeffries realizes that what he accomplished was pretty special when he adds, "And I only had to make one!"
When you listen to Jeffries talk matter-of-factly about how he built this car, you get the impression that he can do anything with his hands. For instance, consider the dragster steering wheel that he formed from ordinary steel stock. Jeffries gives a rather colorful and straightforward description of how he built it: "I just heated it, bent it, then had it chromed." So simple for a guy of his talents.
One thing that Jeffries couldn't do himself, though, was stitch the leather upholstery. For that he called on his good friend, Roy Gilbert, whose needle and thread later would help form the interior to many Jeffries creations, including various Hollywood cars such as the Monkeemobile and the Green Hornet's car.
But Mantaray's interior proved to be more difficult to cover with leather than it looks. The seat has multiple curves that converge into a single point, making it difficult to form a contiguous pattern. Even so, Jeffries and Gilbert succeeded in creating a cockpit that followed the car's theme, in which the entire seat cover appears to have been formed from a single piece of cowhide. Jeffries didn't have to apply as much elbow grease with the engine. It's not by chance that he selected a small-block Ford V-8 with Cobra valve covers. Remember, he was working for Shelby at the time, and as partial payment for his work on the Cobra project, Jeffries was rewarded with a complete race-ready motor and 4-speed transmission. Boasts Jeffries today, "And the motor has only a few miles on it." Think about that, all you Cobra fanatics!
Actually, the entire car appears as fresh today as when he rolled it into the Oakland show arena on February 14, 1964. Nine days later, February 23, he rolled out with the Tournament of Fame first-place prize. "I won $10,000, a trip to Europe, and a new car," recalls Jeffries, "so I guess it was worth [building] it."
Later the car appeared in the movie Beach Blanket Bingo, in which a Hollywood character dressed in a gorilla suit made his grand appearance behind the steering wheel. All monkey business aside, Mantaray was a major draw on the show car circuit during the late 1960s, and received a multi-graphic paint job at one point in its life. An air scoop was added, too, in order to give the car a fresh appearance in its waning years as a celebrity feature car.
One more thing worth noting about Mantaray. Jeffries conceived the name one day while he was holed up in his hotel room during the weekend of the Monterey Kar Kapades car show. "I was looking out the window at the ocean," recalls Jeffries, "and I saw a Manta Ray. That's when I decided on the name."
In the process he exercised a little owner's prerogative when he formed the name into a single word. Show promoters and magazine writers insisted on spelling it the proper way--Manta Ray--but Jeffries says the name should be spelled as one word. Which makes sense, because it helps maintain the purity and integrity of the design. A design that pleases the eye with its flowing, one-piece beauty, making this perhaps the first smoothie street rod ever built. Think about that while you search for the 86 individual body sections of Mantaray.

The influence of the front-engine Indianapolis 500 roadster is apparent in this photo. The high-back rear end sweeps forward to into a long, smooth engine cowl.
The famous Dean Jeffries crest and the Mantaray emblem are original. A little tarnished, but original.
A quartet of downdraft Weber carburetors are neatly stacked on the low-mileage Cobra-Ford 289 small-block engine. The Cobra-Ford engine was donated by Mr. Cobra himself, Carroll Shelby. Jeffries helped build the prototype Cobra, and partial payment included this engine for the Mantaray.
If you ask Jeffries today, he'll say that the bubbletops were a dumb idea. "But," he'll add, "that was the style we all relied on back then."
Once the single-piece canopy was closed, Jeffries's futuristic race car assumed its clean, uncluttered stance.
The man who built Mantaray, Dean Jeffries, is still active as a custom and hot rod builder. He also does a lot of special effects for Hollywood film studios.

The Mantaray's asymmetrical design helped give rise to a whole new look within the custom car fraternity in the 1960s.The instrument insert is mounted to the left-hand side. Jeffries says that all the toggle switches, warning lights, and gauges work. The two round swivel vent ducts serve as ventilation when the canopy was closed.
The upholstery was stitched by Roy Gilbert. It's the original leather, although it's rather brittle.

Tonight's Penn & Teller: Bullshit! is the much-anticipated episode on video game violence.
The program airs at 10:00 p.m. Eastern/Pacific on Showtime. From the P&T:BS! website:
In episode 703, the duo debunks the theory of politicians and other alarmists that playing video games leads to teen violence by handing over a real semiautomatic weapon to a nine-year-old video game player to see if he becomes a human killing machine.
The promo video at left features a guy who is apparently an anti-game violence campaigner named Chris Cooney. I'll 'fess up that – in nearly five years of editing GamePolitics – I can't remember hearing of the guy, so I'm curious to see what he's all about. This is also the episode in which disbarred attorney Jack Thompson makes an appearance.
If you miss tonight's show, the program will be repeated several times over the next few days.

I wanted to post and see if anybody else is seeing similar.
I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 with Evolution 2.10. Everything seems to be working fine except having some issues with the calendar sync.
When I create a "meeting" in my Evolution calendar it will sync to my Zimbra calendar, but when I create an "appointment" is does not sync.
Anybody else see similar problem? Thanks!

A box of chocolates…sure, it's a sweet Valentine's Day gift, but ten years from now, your special someone will barely remember those truffles. A dozen roses? Pretty to look at, but often grown under conditions that are not great for the environment.
Luckily, we've got the cure for the common Valentine's gift–for $50, or about the cost of a dozen roses, you can plant 25 daffodil bulbs or one native tree sapling in one of Pittsburgh's parks!
These are gifts that promise longevity and stability: daffodils naturalize and multiply, and landscape trees can live for decades, even centuries. And thanks to current threats like emerald ash borer and oak wilt disease, replenishing our tree population is more important than ever.
All you have to do is make your donation by February 7, and we'll send your sweetie a card notifying them of your gift (or, if you like, we'll send it to you so you can personalize it).
Showing your love for the parks has never been easier!

For every band or fashion that's generated controversy and polarization for ascending from the punk rock underground to mainstream cultural consciousness, Green Day's the most successful on all fronts. So, OK, maybe they are the Alpha and Omega of punk poseurdom.
However, unlike the majority of their contemporaries from the '90s alterna-boom, Green Day continues to attract new fans. That's why they are headlining their own arena tour instead of phoning in a set of nearly 20-year-old crowd-pleasers on the Warped Tour.

MANSFIELD - Original '90s punk rockers Green Day showed the years haven't aged them as they took the stage at the Comcast Center Monday night for their last New England stop.
The band, lead by vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, blasted its way further into the hearts of fans with fire, jumps and fireworks, calling people on stage randomly throughout the night and just having a great time with the show.
From the start, Green Day worked the crowd into an uproar just by launching into the song "21st Century Breakdown," and Armstrong screamed at fans to raise their hands.

Fine job Wired! I really like your work on colors, the shapes and ideas behind it.
An arid world, its people have named it "Moonfall" after the cataclysmic event that created the world as they know it some two thousand years ago. Much of its past is shrouded in mystery and myth, with mighty ruins strewn across the planet's surface (and scattered below its red sands), echos of an age of power and wonder long gone. A shift of the planetary axis and massive tectonic faults - courtesy of the near extinction event - have led to the formation of a peculiar geography, leaving the world de facto cut in two, with treacherous winds, vast and deadly deserts and dangerous salt seas sealing off much of the southern hemisphere.
But as the North slowly claws its way back into the industrial age with the advent of steam engines and the construction of the Great Iron Road endangering the Taranian Empire's trade monopolies, daring adventurers and explorers and caravans, armed with state-of-the-art breechloaders and unafraid of barbarians and Moonfall's deadly fauna begin to pull back the curtains over the unexplored lands...
The general idea here was to familiarize myself with map brushes and with drawing basic different terrains. Making up my own symbols and decorations came more as an afterthought but proved to be one of the more rewarding parts of this endeavour. "Moonfall" is sort of a steampunkish, 19th Century exploration & intrigue, distantly post-apocalyptic strewn with elements that, at first glance, might look like fantasy.
This is a more elaborate version (yes, more elaborate):
Full resolution here and here.

The color palette remind me of an old DnD map.
I really like the way you've textured the sea, it comes across really well.
That is pretty cool! What is the font you used for the ocean and terrain names?
Very nice map!
Quirky and fun. I like it!

Re: Larry Summers and lack of agency
Is there anywhere a list of Summers follies? I am thinking of all the money he lost in some Harvard investment fund (but for whatever reason that did not finish his career at Harvard), and saying that women can't understand economics, and that Africa is not polluted enough. There should be a list somewhere, is there?

I'm home again, but before I return to reality (three weeks can really do a number on a yard, even with the neighbors watering), I must share some of my adventures with you.
Not able to give proper credit to all the beautiful spots, both public and private, we saw, I am focusing here on our visit to Victoria, Canada's "Garden City."
The quintessential Victoria garden has to be Butchart, right? I know lots of people who have visited and thought it well worth the price tag. One day, I'll get there too, but this trip, I was not equipped with the time or the pocketbook to make it happen. Besides, I thought, why not ask around for some of the lesser known spots that are worth a look?
Here's a short list; feel free to add to it, those who know the area better than I. All of these were recommended more than once.
Hatley Castle, the administrative home of Royal Roads University, has extensive gardens set in the midst of 600-some acres of heritage trees. The pride of the grounds are the Italian, Japanese, and Rose gardens, but really, it all looks pretty impressive with the dramatic backdrop of a real, bona fide Edwardian castle. (Some of the X-Men movies were filmed here, too. I know this because I'm a geek.) There's a restored 1914 greenhouse, too. Admission is charged; tours are available.
Beacon Hill Park, right in downtown Victoria, has 200 acres to explore, so plan to spend all day. It looks great year round. There are water, rock, and alpine gardens; perennial beds and displays of annuals. There's a petting zoo and a playgrounds for the kids, and lots of ducks, peacocks, and herons. Admission is free; horse-drawn carriage rides are available.
Tucked away on the University of Victoria campus is Finnerty Gardens, a 6.5 acre gem. Highlighted are rhododendrons and azaleas, but a full spectrum of plants are on display, many with identifying signs. We're told it's at it's best in spring, but we thought it was just wonderful in August. No admission; follow the ring road around to the southwest and park at the chapel. While you're on campus, you may want to wander down into the Mystic Vale, a protected wilderness area to the southeast, full of Big Leaf Maple, firs, and ferns. It's breathtaking.
Don't miss the Government House gardens– I almost did. I heard about them before we left, but saw something online about "tours by appointment only," so I put it out of my mind as too much trouble for this trip. But we drove right by it while leaving the Craigdarroch Castle (also wonderful, but not much for gardens) and the gates were wide open! We were already late to get to my brother's house, so Chris dropped me off and I did the five minute walk (gasping, groaning, and drooling as I went). It is open to the public, dawn to dusk, but tours are available, by appointment. See how I got confused? If you get the chance, please visit them properly, for me.

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Toronto FC earned another point on Saturday
with a 0-0 draw at the Houston Dynamo, giving the club five points from its
past three games.
Houston's struggles continue with another subpar outing as the club has now
failed to win any of its last six games.
The Dynamo generated one of the few clear-cut chances midway through the first
half when Corey Ashe delivered a cross to the front of goal for Will Bruin,
who managed to head it over the net with goalkeeper Joe Bendik at his mercy.
Toronto controlled a good portion of the first half, but didn't manage to
create much in attack either.
A point seemed to be a fair result for both sides, although TFC had one last
push five minutes from time when a long-range effort from Jeremy Brockie was
spilled by Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall, allowing Danny Koevermans a chance
on the rebound, which Hall was able to snuff out.

Police describe the first suspect as a dark complected black male with dread locks, 5'10" to 6.' The second suspect is described as a medium complected black male, 5'6" to 5'8." Both were wearing dark clothing at the time of the attack.
A murder investigation is underway according to police. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Major Crimes Division at (240) 773-5070 or leave a tip anonymously at 1-866-411-TIPS.

Press releases & news
Ars Electronica and Vienna Airport present multimedia installations in the terminal| Press releases
Ars Electronica and Vienna Airport present multimedia installations in the terminal
From 1 July to 31 August 2011 travellers will have a unique opportunity to experience exciting multimedia art projects by Ars Electronica at Vienna Airport: four installations that interact with passengers have been set up under the title Passenger ARTspace.
Reface and Innocence in Pier East and Pier West
The Reface installation by the US artists group Tmema is located in the waiting area near the D-Gates. Passengers can use a video camera to make their own portraits, which are then divided into three sections ? forehead, eyes and mouth ? and combined with the photos of other travellers to create a continuous stream of new faces. The Innocence installation is on view in Pier West and Pier East. Two cameras photograph passengers and transfer the pictures to a virtual, fairytale world on a large screen. Passersby can control the scenery on the screen by moving to swirl up leaves or create waves.
Shadowgram in the B-Gates
An oversized visitors book has been installed at the B-Gates: Shadowgram will be activated on Fridays from 2 pm to 8 pm and on Sundays from 4 pm to 8 pm. Here passengers can have their picture taken in front of a light screen. The results, a shadow image in the form of a silhouette, can be printed out as a miniature sticker and taken along as a souvenir. Passengers can also leave their silhouette together with a brief statement in a speech balloon on a map.
The multimedia installations are part of this years summer campaign for travellers at Vienna Airport. In past years passengers were entertained by street performers in the Terminal StreetART or received a breakfast welcome on arrival at the airport. The first impressions of these installations have already been published under www.aec./futurelab and www.flong.com/projects/reface.

Devizes MP calls for flooding action plan (From This Is Wiltshire)
Devizes MP calls for flooding action plan
Updated 7:06pm Friday 7th February 2014 in
Devizes MP Claire Perry is calling for action after meeting villagers in Great Bedwyn and Enford affected by flooding.
At a well-attended flood group meeting in Great Bedwyn, Mrs Perry heard about the problems.
Roger Durie, the chairman of Great Bedwyn Parish Council, said: "We had a lot of water in Church Street, there were two or three homes affected and water got into the surgery, too.
"There's an application with DEFRA to increase the size of the drains, because it's difficult to do anything in the short term without sorting out the drains.
"We have a flood committee chaired by Maggie Dunn, whose home has been flooded two or three times.
"She's been liaising with all the bodies, but is moving from the village."
Work needs to be carried out with Network Rail on culverts and pipes, and improvements made in roadside and drain maintenance and flood protection measures within homes.
In Enford, residents told Mrs Perry water run-off from land behind the village, the emergence of springs with enough force to lift the road surface and under-capacity drains were problems.
Parish council chairman Ken Monk said: "There was about nine inches of water outside the Swan and you had to wear wellies to the pub.
"There are some homes where water comes up from the ground through springs and they have pumps, but there was nowhere for the water to go, so the main street had to be closed."
Mrs Perry has contacted the Ministry of Defence and Wiltshire Council engineers to ask for an action plan.

Don't bother the MOD or Network Rail go and ask Osborne when he is going to do what the Irish government is doing ie. Prosecuting bankers for fraud, it's not as if we are short of options lets see PPI, LIBOR,FOREX and the FTSE
Why don't you ask the cabinet of Wiltshire Council about roadside and drain
maintenance their 'allowances' include responsibility for ensuring that people are not flooded as a result of negligence.
Or do they just want the money without responsibility.

So instead of getting a changing in a 100 year flood risk in Wiltshire to a 1 in a 1000 year risk , drainage here in the upper catchment area will create a much higher flood risk downstream.
But agree with most... Will Claire Perry actually focus on something she an have an impact on in this parliament, such as the loss of another 170 WILTSHIRE Police officers, and not the easy quick politics for which she has become renowned!

No way are the Lib Dems in with a fighting chance - and after their reported poor performance at Wiltshire Council when it came to a vote on stopping the massive increase in councillors' allowance, no way should they be.
Labour still has to get its act together.
UKIP, for me that is a no, no. But come to think of it; if it defeats Madame Claire and gets Cameron out of Number 10, it might just be a bullet we will have to bite on. What do others think?

However people should be given more information about the odious creeps that comprise the cabinet of Wilts Council. They made the post of Chief Executive redundant, emasculated Senior Officers then demanded a 'pay rise' because they were doing the work of the people they let go.
Strangely enough when you add up all of their allowances ( which are supposed to be for out of pocket expenses - NOT PAY ) they cost more for a rubbish service.
We need to invigorate politics nationally by starting with the thieving charlatans at local level.
As for Madame Claire the more she talks, the more we all realise she has nothing to offer apart from talk. When the tory voters realise that their children will finish university with £30,000 debt, a zero hours contract and nowhere to live things might change.

Problem with the Perry woman is; who is within a chance of defeating her in 2015. As an earlier poster implied she is sitting on what is pretty much a safe seat. No way are the Lib Dems in with a fighting chance - and after their reported poor performance at Wiltshire Council when it came to a vote on stopping the massive increase in councillors' allowance, no way should they be. Labour still has to get its act together. UKIP, for me that is a no, no.

Only an MP fearful of losing its seat will listen to us.
Then again I am enough of a cynic to believe that any major upheaval against the 3 stooges set now in Westminster will just have them rigging the votes.
Far fetched? not at all remember the Irish EU vote?

Video: Fire Departments Challenged Without Water
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. (WUSA9) -- WSSC will not cut off the water supply of the failing 54-inch water main until their systems are topped off, the utility company spokesperson said in press conference on Tuesday.
Water restrictions, however, will begin at 9 p.m. on Tuesday.
"Once the pipe is shut off, the water supply should last between 12 to 15 hours or longer depending on how much residents conserve water," said I.J. Hudson, WSSC spokesperson.
County officials say they will open two reception centers Wednesday morning for affected residents.
Prince George's County will use these centers outside the affected area to give bathroom, shower, and water access to residents.
Officials said if there is a need they have seven other centers ready for use.
An estimated 125,000 residents in Prince George's County will be affected by the water main repairs, said WSSC spokesperson Jerry Irvine. That number dies not include business.
The county will also be handing out water in various areas. Prince George's County Fire Dept. water tankers, which hold about 500 gallons of water, will also be available.
