PASADENA, Md. (WUSA9) -- Anne Arundel County Police say a traffic stop for a stolen vehicle resulted in the arrest of a Pasadena, Md. man on Sunday morning.
According to police, an officer on patrol at Mountain Road and Route 648 at approximately 6:30 a.m. saw a late model red Chevrolet Chevelle matching the description of a stolen vehicle that was taken in a burglary from a home in the 8100 block of Elizabeth Road in Pasadena on Saturday.
Once the officer confirmed that the Chevelle was stolen, he stopped it on Mountain Road near Freetown Road, say police.
The officer then found that the driver, 36-year-old Frank William Helsel of Pasadena had his privilege to drive in Maryland was suspended and revoked, according to police. Helsel was then placed under arrest for auto theft and driving suspended and revoked.
Police say the owner of the vehicle has been reunited with his vehicle.
Helsel has been linked to the burglary, say police.

Summary:Some terrorist-fighting New York cops just can't catch a break. That's what Bruce Willis's hero John McClane must be thinking in this sequel to the blockbuster action flick "Die Hard" (1988). This time out, Willis is waiting to pick up his wife Bonnie Bedelia at the airport on Christmas Eve. Also waiting is a team of mercenaries led by William Sadler. They want to bust out an evil dictator, and they're taking the whole airport hostage. Big mistake with John McClane on the scene. It has all the terrific action, fisticuffs and gun battles you expect from a "Die Hard" feature.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a versatile water and fat soluble metabolic antioxidant. It is a potent free radical quencher and aids other vitamins in their antioxidant activities. This product provides the highest potency of Alpha Lipoic Acid available and also contains Grape Seed Extract (an additional antioxidant & synergist) and Bioperine® (an effective absorption enhancer).
Alpha-lipoic acid (also called lipoic acid or thioctic acid) is a sulfur-containing substance that is readily converted to and from its reduced form, dihydrolipoic acid. It acts as a coenzyme in reactions that occur in the Krebs cycle; specifically it is involved in the decarboxylation of pyruvate and some other alpha-keto acids. It may well be the perfect antioxidant. It has also shown great promise in the treatment of HIV and in diabetes.
Your body does in fact manufacture Alpha-Lipoic Acid, but supplementing it provides benefits beyond its involvement in carbohydrate metabolism. For starters, Alpha-Lipoic Acid is able to deactivate both fat and water soluble free radicals and thereby protect both lipoproteins and membranes; no other anti-oxidant can do this. Take a look at this list of reactive oxygen species (ROS) ("ROS" is an umbrella term that includes both radicals and other chemicals that, while not technically radicals, are damaging to the body):
Hydrogen atom
Superoxide anion
Nitric oxide
Hydrogen peroxide
Singlet oxygen
Note that the last two are not radicals, that is, they do not have an unpaired electron, yet they are Reactive Oxygen Species. Alpha-Lipoic Acid "quenches" the oxygen singlet, hydroxyl, and superoxide species, while its reduced form, dihydrolipoic acid, stabilizes the peroxyl and peroxynitrate radicals. Both forms (initial and reduced) regenerate through redox cycling other antioxidants like vitamin C and E, and increase intracellular glutathione levels1. The hydroxyl radical is considered to be the most damaging; peroxynitrate is perhaps a close second. Lipoprotein peroxidation is important to stop because this is the reaction that leads to such undesirable health problems as atherosclerosis.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid is prescribed in Germany for adult onset of diabetes. It helps for the following reasons:
Alpha-Lipoic Acid increases the sugar burning ability of insulin2
Alpha-Lipoic Acid decreases insulin resistance
Alpha-Lipoic Acid increases ATP production
Alpha-Lipoic Acid decreases the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy3
Recommended supplementation for diabetic neuropathy is 800mg/day3
NOTE: It is with the utmost sensitivity to those unfortunate enough to be infected with HIV that we present this information. The benefits of Alpha-Lipoic Acid in cases of HIV infection are touted on many websites, with little offered to back up the claim. We do not want to be just another site making claims to sell our product. Here is what we have found.
Michael Murray, ND, in his fine book, Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, notes that "Lipoic acid has antioxidant effects and is able to inhibit the replication of HIV by reducing the activity of reverse transcriptase-the enzyme responsible for manufacturing the virus from the DNA of lymphocytes. Based on these actions, it was suggested that lipic acid might be of value in treating HIV-positive patients."4 It is this quote that you will find cited in various places throughout the internet. Murray's claim is based on the following two studies, which a careful reading of his text clearly indicates: A. Baur et al., Alpha lipoic acid is an effective inhibitor of human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV-1) replication, Klin Wochenschr 69 (1991): 722-4. Suzuki YJ Aggarwal BB Packer L, Alpha-lipoic acid is a potent inhibitor of NF-kappa B activation in human T cells. Biochem-Biophys-Res-Commun. 1992 Dec 30; 189(3): 1709-15 1992 0006-291X. In addition to these citations, we have been able to find the following additional citations on the IBIDS and MEDLINE databases (regrettably, as searches of their websites indicate, neither the Journal of the American Medical Association nor the New England Journal of Medicine has apparently ever published a single word on the topic of Alpha-Lipoic Acid): Merin JP Matsuyama M Kira T Baba M Okamoto T, Alpha-lipoic acid blocks HIV-1 LTR-dependent expression of hygromycin resistance in THP-1 stable transformants. FEBS-Lett. 1996 Sep 23; 394(1): 9-13 1996 0014-5793.
Grieb G, [Alpha-lipoic acid inhibits HIV replication]. Med Monatsschr Pharm 1992 Aug;15(8):243-4. (Article in German). Dr. Murray goes on to describe a follow-up study designed to test this hypothesis. The study yielded promising results. (that study: Fuchs J Schofer H Milbradt R Freisleben HJ Buhl R Siems W Grune T, Studies on lipoate effects on blood redox state in human immunodeficiency virus infected patients. Arzneimittelforschung. 1993 Dec; 43(12): 1359-62 1993 0004-4172.) While certainly promising in all five cases, this is not a large body of research by any measure. What the first three studies above indicate is that reactive oxygen species are implicated as signaling chemicals in the activation of NF-kappa B, which is required in HIV transcription. By blocking the activation of NF-kappa B, the transcription of HIV is subsequently stopped. Please note that the latest study cited above is dated 1996. We do not know of any further studies as of December, 1999.

Drumwright honored by Henricus
George T. Drumwright, Jr. may have retired from his position as deputy county manager for Henrico.
But on Sept. 14, Drumwright's friends at Henricus Historical Park let him know emphatically that he will not be allowed to retire from his role as a Henricus Foundation board member and long-time volunteer.
At a reception honoring Drumwright and celebrating the opening of 2012 Publick Days, friends, family, colleagues and fellow members of the Henricus Foundation Board of Trustees gathered to dedicate the Drumwright Education Fund, a component of the Henricus Annual Fund that will enable the Foundation to expand interactive history program offerings for students.
Drumwright's colleagues also presented him with gifts and mementos, and spoke at length about his 25 years of contributions to the park.
Henricus Executive Director Charles Lewis Grant pointed out that when Drumwright first became involved, the park was just a place "covered in vines."
Today, Henricus boasts a dozen re-created colonial structures, including a hospital, parsonage, tobacco barn and planter's house.
"But it's not just about the buildings," emphasized John Siddall, chairman of the Henricus Foundation. "It's about the 25,000 schoolchildren that come through here every year."
And the Drumwright Education Fund, added Grant, will help students from the most disadvantaged schools gain access to park programs.
"If they can't get here," said Grant, "we go to them."
Jurisdictional cooperation
Siddall, who led off his remarks by telling Drumwright, "The first thing I want to say is you are not retiring from here," also praised Drumwright's role in supporting the partnership between Chesterfield and Henrico counties that has helped made the park so successful.
Through a fluke of history, said Siddall, both counties own land in Henricus -- even though today's park lies south of the James River in what is technically Chesterfield.
During the Civil War, Union troops began digging a new channel near the James so they could bypass Confederate fortifications that blocked approaches to Richmond. The new channel, completed after the war, left a part of Henrico across the river — surrounded by water.
"Because of this, we benefit," said Siddall, "and not only because we have this beautiful bluff. We also benefit from a great partnership between Chesterfield and Henrico; we get the support of both counties."
Ken Perry, former chairman of the board, noted that Drumwright had first visited the site in 1977. "I visited this site in 1985," said Perry, "and we both saw the same things: a bunch of trees and a beautiful river view."
He and Drumwright worked together on the board for 15 years, said Perry, during which the jurisdictional cooperation was "marvelous."
'He knew every inch'
Dorothy Jaeckle, vice chairman of the board, recalled that when first elected to the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, she was taken aback by the number of boards on which she was expected to serve, and overwhelmed by the steep learning curve required to learn about the various organizations.
Appointed to the Henricus board because the park was in her district, Jaeckle said that joining a board with Drumwright only magnified her feelings of inadequacy.
"George was the one," she said, "who took the sickle and cleared the way in [to the historical area]. He knew every last inch of this place." But her feelings of inadequacy were soon eased, said Jaeckle, because Drumwright was so clearly passionate about the park, and made it clear that he wanted only to share his knowledge of it with others.
Chesterfield County Manager Jay Stegmaier, noting that Henricus was recently named the best park in Central Virginia by readers of Richmond.com, credited Drumwright with being one of the key players that helped the park succeed.
"You've become an icon for Central Virginia," Stegmaier told Drumwright, jokingly inviting him to use a sword to carve his initials in a tree on the site. "[Henricus] is a treasure for Chesterfield and Henrico County, and it's rapidly becoming a treasure for the entire country."
"And," added Stegmaier, echoing the previous speakers, "we're not going to let you totally retire."
A radiant light
In thanking his colleagues for gifts that included colonial-era replicas of a hat and a lantern, Drumwright cited "huge support" from the community as his inspiration, and noted that like the lantern, Henricus had blossomed from a tiny spark of a concept into a radiant light.
Only days before, said Drumwright, students visiting the park from Lucille Brown Middle School had been using a newly re-created platform overlooking the bluff to calculate the trajectory of cannon fire needed to bridge the river – demonstrating just one of the unique hands-on lessons that the park provides to schoolchildren.
Upon being presented with a sword, Drumwright reminisced about his first job in Norfolk, during which he occasionally perched on the rails of a replica ship and played the role of pirate.
"We used to break these swords once a week," he said, "fighting each other."
Everything a miracle
As the celebration moved into the dinner-and-music phase – featuring favorite Drumwright band Steve Bassett and Friends – incoming Henrico County Manager John Vithoulkas read a letter from Tuckahoe Supervisor and fellow Henricus board member Pat O'Bannon, who could not be present at the celebration.
Addressing Drumwright, O'Bannon wrote, "Before Google, George, we had you to ask for answers. Now we can ask Google, but it's not nearly as good."
Thanking Drumwright for serving as a mentor, O'Bannon went on to quote Albert Einstein, who once said, "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle, and you can live as if everything is a miracle."
"George," wrote O'Bannon,"lives his life as if everything is a miracle."
Echoing O'Bannon's sentiment, Vithoulkas recalled visiting the undeveloped, overgrown future site of Henricus decades ago, when he worked under Stegmaier as a budget analyst.
"It wasn't nearly what we've got here now," said Vithoulkas.
"George, you've done a phenomenal job."

Read on to hear just how Chad proposed and see how much this paradise found wedding in L.A. cost. Please note that costs change as the years go by, and prices are subject to change. This is just one couple's breakdown to give you a rough estimate on how much a wedding like this may cost you.
From the Bride:
Chad and I were doing long distance before he proposed. I was working in DC while he was working in Djibouti, Africa. In trying to keep some semblance of a normal relationship, we often played Scrabble together online. I typically won. After 6 months of doing long distance , we decided to meet in Dubai to ring in 2012. Knowing that the desert is one of my favorite places in the world, Chad scheduled a group desert excursion for us. I was confused when the car showed up empty with only the driver inside. Chad said that the other people canceled. I said "Awesome" and high-fived him. As the sun was about to set, Chad asked if I was hungry because he brought us some snacks. He asked the driver to park so we could snack on some fruits, cheese and crackers. While my mouth was full of crackers, Chad asked that we play one last Scrabble game in 2011. I thought he was joking until he pulled out a Scrabble board game. When I opened the Scrabble board, there were letter tiles spelling out: Sami, will you marry me? As I screamed YES, the driver brought out a bottle of champagne letting me know that the excursion was meant for just the two of us all along. It was the best scrabble game ever.
Our budget was $40,000 and we stayed under it! High fives all around!!

Hi - I have been using Zimbra Desktop to manage a number of GMail and Yahoo email accounts for sometime now.
I have been using the new version 2 since it was release however today I have noticed a problem.
In my gmail accounts I have been reading and deleting email and empyting the trash as normal. However, I had cause to log into gmail through the web today and notice that rather than having about 20 emails in my account I have over 17,000. Basically none of the emails I have been deleting over the years have ever actually been deleted but show up under the "All Mail" folder within GMail.
I have therefore decided to switch to Mozilla Thunderbird.
I would however at somepoint in the future like to return to Zimbra.
I would appreciate your comments.
Thanks very much.

Bullish on the Big Apple
Special Issue | The city thrives after 9/11-but healing doesn't happen in a New York minute
NEW YORK- Osama bin Laden failed. That's the message thrumming and whirring from a dozen construction cranes hoisted above the skyline in lower Manhattan. Even on a late winter day of pelting rain and slicing wind, the clatter of construction is the dominant soundtrack on the streets at this southern tip of New York City.
If the al-Qaeda leader meant as he said to take out the financial heart of America-and the free world-when 19 hijackers took down seven buildings here on Sept. 11, 2001, then New York's financial district is rebuking him with a vengeance.
Condo cluster high-rises have sprung across from the southwest border of Ground Zero, and developers throughout the financial district-particularly in the neighborhoods of Tribeca and Battery Park City-rapidly are converting existing rentals.
"Back in the 1990s," real estate developer Andrew Heiberger says as if recounting old history, the area south of Canal Street was only just turning into a place for people to live. He and others saw the potential for residential areas geared to the mostly single investors and traders who would value its convenience to Wall Street and the World Trade Center and overlook its glass-and-steel ambiance.
But now the district's sidewalks are chockablock with strollers; side streets are dotted with day-care centers and children's clothing boutiques; Pumpkin Park is Battery Park City's hot toddler gathering point; and there's a waiting list at P.S. 89, kindergarten through grade 5. With what looks like a sudden excess supply of housing, rental rates nonetheless have doubled-from $3,000 a month for many two-bedroom units just after 9/11 to over $6,000 a month today.
The hum in lower Manhattan hasn't drowned out the memory. Few residents have forgotten the uncertainty that followed the terrorist attacks when both jobs and housing in the district looked doomed. When a walk to work meant crossing a war zone steaming with corpses of buildings and the stench of death.
That makes the economic prosperity spreading through all five of New York's boroughs striking. Rezoning has opened the way for a better mix of office space, housing, and industry-and opened up billions in increased public and private investment. The capital influx is leading to, among other things, subway and other transportation upgrades, school renovations, a major redesign of Lincoln Center, and of course the commencement of new construction at Ground Zero. Salaries in Manhattan lead the nation-with an average weekly wage of $1,453, compared to $784 average nationwide. Wages also are growing the fastest in Manhattan, at a rate of nearly 8 percent in 2006.
In the gloomy days following 9/11, when rentals were going at discount, Carl Keyes, pastor of Glad Tidings Tabernacle just uptown, took an apartment for a song in Battery Park City two blocks from Ground Zero. While others moved out, either out of fear or because their buildings were declared unsafe, Keyes and his family moved in.
He had entered the site just after the main buildings collapsed and stayed for the next 58 hours-assisting firefighters, praying for those rescued from the rubble, for the injured and the families of the dead, and realizing the overwhelming long-term needs at the site. "Like everyone around Manhattan and around the world, we knew those were our people in there and we had to do something," he said.
His first response was to organize members of his church to collect saline eye solution, a desperately needed and overlooked item for the hundreds of rescue workers plunging into the dust and smoke. His team, a collection of church members, fellow longtime New Yorkers, other pastors, and emergency workers who turned up from all over the world, would eventually become known as the "Angels of 9/11." They commandeered a boat to bring equipment and supplies across the Hudson River at a time when tunnels, bridges, and street traffic into lower Manhattan had shut down. They eventually brought in 87 tractor-trailers of relief items and served over 130,000 hot meals to rescue workers, firefighters, and health officials working the site.
As their reputation grew, Keyes took in $5 million in spontaneous donations. By the time he left the rubble in March 2002, when he was on hand during the discovery of 11 bodies (nine women and two firefighters who appeared to be shielding them), Keyes had conducted funerals for 113 of the site's 2,749 victims.
Visits to Ground Zero now for Carl Keyes are a complex of emotions. He has witnessed endless waves of grief, been on hand for discovered bodies and body parts, and now says with finality: "I'm done with it." He says most New Yorkers feel that way: "They don't like to think about this hole. They've gotten on with their lives."
Like him, they're impatient with the slow pace of rebuilding, the continued gape in downtown-called "the bathtub"-where the two towers once stood. And they're weary of tourists who continue to pilgrimage there. At Gate 10 where construction workers pass in and out of the hole, a chain-link fence is lined with graphic street-level photos giving a chronological pictorial of what happened in the abyss just the other side of the fence. Even 51/2 years later, visitors stand slack-jawed, many crying, as they tour the site and realize perhaps for the first time the enormity of the devastation. New Yorkers, in contrast, hurry past, heading down steps into the newly reconstructed subway and train station or across the street.
But in reality Keyes is not done with it. "What they don't count on the rolls," he said, "are the living victims and the related deaths. Countless divorces, 16 suicides, 1,300 orphans." And those are just the ones he knows about as week in and week out he continues rounds of counseling for survivors. "For so many there is no end in sight. They are so deeply wounded," he said, including a widow who recently asked, "What day do I take my wedding ring off?"
The gaping hole remains open in part because of these gaping wounds. Family members of 1,148 victims have not received any remains identified as their relatives. Officials laid the cornerstone for the new Freedom Tower in 2004 and at that time expected the building to be completed this year, yet construction has not yet reached above grade. Discoveries of human remains and portions of the towers repeatedly halt construction. Then excavators using ground-penetrating radar and experts from the chief medical examiner's office go to work in new debris fields. Over 1,000 bone fragments have been found and many identified just in the last two years.
In front of the Engine Co. 10 firehouse on Liberty Street, Keyes pauses. There his buddy, retired fireman Lee Ielpi, helped open a museum honoring firefighters and other personnel killed on 9/11. Ielpi's own son, also a firefighter, died inside the towers. And now Ielpi has cancer. This month Mayor Michael Bloomberg joined a campaign to lobby Congress for $150 million to start a compensation fund for 9/11 responders battling respiratory and other illnesses believed related to asbestos and toxic materials used in the construction of the towers.
For so many, said Keyes, "this is still a graveyard. You might wonder why families act the way they do, but when they don't have remains at all, this is where their loved ones are buried."
Artist and longtime Tribeca resident Mako Fujimura (see "Seedlings in Stone," March 24, 2007) pushed to hold the International Arts Movement annual conference near Ground Zero this year in part to draw attention to the tension between past and future. The event drew record attendance of over 400 from around the world and included tours of the site by Keyes and others.
"We have the cultural capacity to get back to work and give back to the world," Fujimura said. For him the tension is an everyday part of life in lower Manhattan few outsiders may comprehend: "I understand the need to move on and to not get stuck. But you cannot forget the faces. Some of them I know. It is a collective wound and it is still visible. People continue to fight for community and resilience-just the fact that we are still here is a testament. You have to remember the comeback is remarkable."

Never drink Champagne on a roller coaster. The bubbles will wreak havoc on your sinuses. Never drink red wine on a roller coaster. You'll never get the stains out, and the passengers behind you will fear that you are bleeding out. Never drink heavy, oaky white wines on a roller coaster. They're just not applicable to the wild ride. Never drink sweet wines on a roller coaster. What with all of the cotton candy and all, you've had enough sweets. While riding a roller coaster, be sure to drink a light, crisp white wine. Something Italian. The Italian winemaking regions known for their great whites range from Trentino-Alto Adige (producing the world's best pinot grigios) and the Veneto in the northeast, through Umbria (and it's Orvietos) down to Campania (Greco di Tufo & Fiona di Avellino - these are arguably Italy's best whites). A Sicilian Vernaccia would ride very well in a roller coaster. While you're having a wild ride, it's important not to splash these wonderful whites on your fellow passengers. Although it's true that there's enough soaking to go around these days, you don't want to add to it. Savor your wine while you ride the roller.

On the other side of the pond, blended wines are the norm. Back when we Americans regularly slaked our thirst with locally brewed ales, the French, Italians and Spanish were imbibing rich, well-developed blends of cultivated grapes grown to complement each other in finely crafted wines. Today's vino babble focuses on one such wine from Bordeaux's Medoc. One of the wines that I had the pleasure of drinking this past weekend was the 2000 Chateau La Bessane from the Margaux A.O.C. in the southern Medoc. Side note - Wine Spectator gave the 2000 Left-Bank Bordeaux vintage 99/100 points, "Postmodern classic, Benchmark Bordeaux". It gave this particular wine 90 points. The wines from Margaux have been described as being "like an iron fist in a velvet glove". This wine is no exception. It is a very unique composite of 60% petit verdot, 20% cabernet sauvignon and 20% merlot. Petit verdot (petit because of the small berry size) is a very late-ripening grape, and wines made from it take years to reach maturity/drinkability. The 2000 vintage in Margaux was a very long one, allowing for the petit verdot's full development. This 2000 drank beautifully, and would have been great with a big, juicy Ribeye. The 2000 Chateau La Bessane Margaux is fully developed, and still richly tannic. Lush and silky with deep, dark red fruits finishing with spicy oak. I happen to know where to get some of this for under $20 a bottle. As they say, the best things in life are worth waiting for.

Why are Americans so afraid of blends? Our nation serves as a shining example of the power of the melting pot, gaining strength from our diversity. You'd think that we would be crazy for wines that expertly blend a number of varietals. We're not. Certainly in the cheap wine stratum, people accept that they'll be getting blended plonk for their pennies. At the other end of the spectrum, giant proprietary blends, especially from Italy and Australia (and Cali) are the most sought after reds. It's in the middle, where real, everyday wine drinkers purchase wines that blends are anathema. In my decade-plus experience selling wine, I've found general reluctance on the part of wine buyers when it comes to blends. White blends can tend towards the loony/loopy (see"Battle of the 'Poor Man's Conundrum'"10/08/08) putting too much in your mouth. Red blends, at least the well-made, well-balanced ones, tend to be synergistic affairs, with the wine's strength equalling more than a sum of its parts. All Bordeaux wines are blends, most Super Tuscans. In reality, Cali "single varietal" wines usually don't contain more than 75% of the stated varietal. One that recently hit my Tastemaker Radarscreen is the 2005 Flora Springs Trilogy, composed of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc, in true meritage style. This edition of this world-class master-blaster of power and grace marks Flora Springs 30th anniversary of fine winemaking. Exhibiting cassis and dark cherry on the nose, the palate is pleasured with black cherry, cocoa, coffee & toffee. A stunning red to be cellared and enjoyed over the coming decade. This Rutherford/Napa gem is a blend that Americans can proudly consume, proud of the diversity that abounds here in the Good Old U.S. of A. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate agrees, giving this vintage 93 points. Also, a little bird (parakeet, actually) just informed me that the 2005 Trilogy can be found hereabouts at a deep discount. Look upon it as a safe investment, if you will. Serve this wine with cuts from the recently slaughtered Bull Market.
Cheers, Buckley Wineholt
I'm no farmer. Most wine drinkers aren't. Most of us don't know much about the various agricultural practices employed by wineries. Increasingly, many of us are rightfully concerned about the actual impact of how what we consume is produced. We are increasingly concerned about the deleterious affects that corporate agricultural practices have had on the land in the past 50 years. I don't presume to know much about the "healthiest" agricultural practices that a winery can employ, but I'm learning. As we concerned wine consumers are all learning about the correct, intelligent, healthy ways that grapes can be grown and wine can be made. You'll be reading a great deal here, and elsewhere, about organic, sustainable and biodynamic growing practices that wineries chose to employ. To me, the over-arching concern must be sustainability, in a larger sense. It is important to consider both the environmental and the economic sustainability quotients. If the land is farmed using the smartest, healthiest methods, and good (or great) wine is produced as a result of this, and the wine is marketed effectively, then economic sustainability should follow. Sure, there's weather, labor issues and a million other " Murphy's Law" factors to consider. I'm no farmer, nor am I an economist. I'm just another wino with righteous concerns. The wineries that address these concerns have a better chance of surviving than those that don't. They're unsustainable.

Founded in 2010, the New Media Project aims to help religious leaders think theologically about digital technology. We think leaders need more than primers in building websites and using social media tools. We believe that leaders of faith communities also need a larger interpretive framework for recognizing and evaluating what's happening in communication today. Even though the major shift in patterns and tools of communication brought about by digital technology will have a lasting effect on the church, compelling theological interpretations of the shift have not yet been adequately developed. Nor do sufficient strategic frameworks yet exist to help faith communities move forward using technology in theologically responsible ways.
We aim to change that.
Explore the project on this website: Read the blog, case studies, and theological essays. View the videos from our February 8, 2013 conference, Digital Church: Theology and New Media. Most of it can be accessed from the Findings page. Become part of the community talking about these things.

With supplementary logic, Facebook et al. extend the range of our embodied relationships; with substitutionary, social media replace them. Those who want to use social media to enhance their churches' outreach implicitly use supplementary logic.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - The National Weather Service says an EF0 tornado hit The Hill neighborhood in the City of St. Louis Wednesday night.
EF0 tornadoes carry winds between 65 to 85 miles per hour.
According to the NWS, the tornado first touched down near the intersection of 59th Street and Reber in the City of St. Louis.

Happy Friday! We hope you're winding down from the week and making good plans for the weekend. In fact, one of our own plans this weekend is to catch the last episode of the Julien Kang/Yoon Se Ah couple on the South Korean reality show We Got Married. I'm a longtime follower of the show and I'm sad to say that they're ending their run.
For those of you who don't know – Julien Kang is Korean Canadian actor (his dad is Korean and his mom is French Canadian) based in Seoul. He's also starred in popular Korean dramas such as To the Beautiful You and High Kick 3, in addition to We Got Married.
But to congratulate him on a successful stint on the reality show – and to well, his beautiful abs – here's a some of our favorite pics of Julien. He's definitely a SHAG (Smoking Hot Asian Guy).

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - A man who police say brandished a replica handgun while trying to rob the White Castle restaurant at Natural Bridge and Kingshighway early Saturday is dead after he was shot by a veteran police officer.
The name of the victim has not been released by police who say they have evidence the dead man had tried once before to rob the same business.
Authorities tell NewsChannel 5 around 3:50 a.m. this morning, the suspect entered the restaurant, approached the counter and threatened employees. Two off-duty St. Louis police officers working security at the business observed the crime unfolding and confronted the armed suspect.
The suspect refused to comply with officers and out of fear for their own safety, and the safety of employees and diners inside the White Castle, one of the officers fired one shot, striking the man in the abdomen.
The suspect was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The officer involved is a 48 year old policewoman with 21 years on the St. Louis force. She's been placed on administrative leave as the investigation continues. No other injuries were reported.

Summer doesn't mean a break from school any more. There are programs and resources available for students of all ages to ensure that learning lasts year round.
School's out for summer? That's just not the case anymore. These days education happens year-round. The lazy days of summer haven't disappeared entirely — they've just had to make a little room for productivity amidst the relaxation.
See our full listing of summer 2014 courses and programs, including pre-college, undergraduate and graduate courses, and professional development for teachers.
Many people have the mistaken impression that college comes to a close in May. That's just not the case. College campuses across the country remain abuzz with activity even as the temperatures climb higher.
For some, summer is the ideal time to take classes. Undergraduates eager to accelerate their programs or explore new areas of study, can take advantage of summer courses to achieve their objectives.
At Lesley, courses are available to undergraduate students, as well as those pursuing advanced degrees and certificates. Elementary school teachers can take advantage of Lesley's Summer Literacy Institute, School Leaders Seminar or Mathematics Summer Institute to learn new techniques to bring back to their classrooms. Their art-teaching counterparts likewise can spend their summers honing their creativity in studio residency workshops.
Graduate students who are also working professionals often do not enjoy the same summer breaks as their undergraduate counterparts. For them, the summer is just another season and it's important that they have access to a variety of courses to stay on track in their degree programs.
With colleges getting more and more selective, high school students are going above and beyond to stand out. Summer is an opportunity for them to seek out new skills or to polish up existing passions.
Through both summer courses, and an intensive month-long summer residency program, Lesley is helping talented young art students keep their creative juices flowing throughout the calendar year.
"For me, the best part of offering so many unique opportunities to high school students is not only to teach them new art-making skills and help them improve their portfolios," said Diana Arcadipone, Associate Dean for Extended Programs.
"I love to observe their transformation when they realize that they can actually make their passion their life. They begin to identify as artists and designers as their skills improve, and as we show them how professional artists have shaped their own careers."
"The summer before I became a junior I realized I had been missing out on the summer experiences that all my friends who went away to camp had. I thought it would be a good idea for me to do something productive, so I Googled art colleges and found the YAR [Young Artists Residency] program," said program Alumna Shanna Leventhal.
Today's high school students are savvy and independent. Often, they are the ones seeking out the opportunities rather than relying on their parents.
"The YAR Program was one of the best months of my life so far. If I could go back and see everyone and experience just one day of my classes all over again, I would. Back at home, I feel like a more independent person. College doesn't really scare me as much anymore because I know I'll love the feeling of growing and working with my friends," Leventhal said.
Summer school tends to have negative connotations in the elementary school set, but in reality education year-round is a key component of successful development and growth.
Lesley possessors discussed the need to combat the so-called summer slide that occurs when children head out on summer break.
"The current school calendar – nine months with summers off – was designed to meet the needs of an agrarian society. Considerable evidence, however, suggests that it's just not enough for today's students, who need to be prepared for the demands of an extremely competitive global economy," says Professor Marcia Bromfield, director of the Field Placement and Professional Partnerships Division.
Just because kids aren't physically going to school, doesn't mean they can't be acquiring new knowledge or reinforcing existing skills. Parents and caregivers play a key role in keeping kids' minds stimulated during the summer months. The team at Lesley's Graduate School of Education put together a list of helpful hints and resources to ensure that kids are still learning in the summer.
School's not out for summer. Learning lasts year-round.

IATA's air cargo forecast now less rosy
March 03, 2011
As widely anticipated, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced a cut in its forecast for airline industry profits (net post-tax) in 2011.
Spokesmen for the association had told LM that such a reduction was likely, although specific numbers would not be shared until this week. In its most recent report, IATA said profits will drop from $9.1 billion to $8.6 billion – a 46 percent reduction from the $16 billion of profit they estimated the industry generated last year.
"This downgrade is due to the recent surge in oil and jet kerosene prices. In line with market forecasts we now assume an average crude oil price of $96 a barrel this year, significantly up on our previous forecast of $84 a barrel, the report stated.
IATA said that the reduction in profitability would have been much greater were it not for upward revisions to economic growth this year together with relatively stable and high load factors:
"When economies are strong higher yields make it possible for airlines to limit the profitability damage from high oil prices. Clearly the risk to this outlook is that should economies weaken, under pressure from commodity prices and debt, airline profits could weaken much faster than we portray here."
One bright spot in all of this, however, continues to be on the Pacific rim. January freight carried by Asia-Pacific carriers showed a 6.4 percent year-on-year increase. While this growth is slightly lower than the 7.2 percent reported for December 2010, the volume of freight carried by airlines based in the region actually increased by 2 percent during January alone. The growth in January takes the volume of air freight carried to 6 percent above the pre-recession peak level and 48 percent higher than the recession trough.
Matt Buckley, senior director, cargo and charters for Southwest Airlines, told LM that this came as no surprise:
"Considering the tremendous amount of manufacturing being done throughout parts of Asia, and the volume of those goods being imported to the U.S., Asia will continue to be a strategic focus for many of our shippers for years to come."

Engine Build for Barracuda - Project B3 Gets A Block-In-A-BagWritten by on March 1, 2007 Building The Powerplant For Our Bracket Racer
Since we're building the engine for our bracket-racer project it must mean the car is ready to go, right? Well, not quite. While we have made some progress on our '67 Barracuda's floors, chassis, and suspension, we still have a long way to go before it's ready for the track. We still need to finish our rollcage, swap our windows for polycarbonate (Lexan) replacements, install a stout rearend, build a transmission, as well as plumb and wire the car.
There are several reasons, however, why we will be building the engine at this stage of the project. First, we will need the engine and transmission in place to complete our plumbing and wiring, as well as to fit our headers and motor plate. Second, we were tired of the parts taking up shelf space so we decided to bolt the engine together. Third, and most important, having the engine ready to install will motivate us to get off our butts and complete the car!
Those of you who have been following our project will remember that our objective for this car is mid-10-second elapsed times. Since our Barracuda will weigh in at just about 3,000 pounds, we'll need an engine that produces in the neighborhood of 600 hp to achieve our goal. Knowing that it's easier to slow a car down than speed it up, and wanting to be able to run mid-10s even in hot weather, we'll shoot for a power more in the 650hp range for this build. We also want to ensure this engine has the endurance to last multiple seasons of racing, so we'll need some strong parts, especially in the bottom end.
The budget for our entire car is about $10,000, so we'll utilize some used items and some good factory parts as well. Since the engine of a drag car is its most abused component, we'll be spending a significant portion of our budget on this motor.
When deciding what engine to drop in our 'Cuda, we first had to consider what we had available. Our goal of 10-second elapsed times pretty much dictated big-block power, and we just happened to have a 400 big-block available that didn't cost us a dime. Since making 650 hp from 400 cubes would be tough, we decided to match our 400 block with a forged 440 crank that we also had at the shop to net a displacement of 451 ci. We've found the low-deck 451 engine to be a powerful and durable combination, also making plenty of torque to get our 'Cuda moving. This combination does require that the crank's main journals be turned down to the main journal size of the 400 and some clearancing of the block in the main-webbing area, but other than that, it's a straightforward build since several manufacturers offer pistons for this application. our block would need to be machined, and for that we sent it to Chenoweth Racing Enterprises.
You may remember the guys at Chenoweth since we have featured their main girdle in several of our engine builds. What you may not know, however, is that the Chenoweth shop offers full-service machining and is extremely Mopar friendly. We chose to send our block to them for their "block-in-a-bag" service, which includes fully machining the block for a racing application on their state-of-the-art equipment. This service is a great option for those who don't have a trustworthy machine shop in their area or for those who want to know they're getting the best quality machine work for their money. The block-in-a-bag service includes fully blueprinting the engine block, decking and squaring all surfaces, boring and honing the cylinders with torque plates, and line-boring the main journals. All the work is done on new Rottler equipment, which can hold tolerances much more accurately than the antiquated equipment found in some shops.
As our block was being machined, we formulated a plan for the rest of our build. While our factory forged crank would certainly handle this engine's power, we weren't so sure about the factory rods, so Eagle 6.76 length H-beams were ordered. Ross-forged domed pistons were matched to the Eagle rods, and the rotating assembly was sent to Auto Performance Engines to be balanced. When it came to cylinder heads we had a dilemma: should we spend the money to machine a set of steel heads or purchase aftermarket units? Fortunately, while at a local swap meet, the decision was made for us. We scored a used pair of Edelbrock Performer RPM heads for a grand that were complete and already had some bowl work done. At the same swap meet, we also scored a sweet deal on a set of K-motion valvesprings that would allow us to run a pretty stout roller cam, so we completed our transaction and had the top end for our engine. While there is always a risk when purchasing used parts, we minimized this risk by having our parts thoroughly checked before we installed them.
We decided to use new, high-quality parts for the remainder of our engine. For our oil system, we chose a Milodon kit featuring an eight-quart, low-profile oil pan and a single external pickup. This oil system is great for drag racing and is good for rpm in excess of 7,000. When it came to camshaft selection, we went with a custom-ground Comp solid roller unit that we've successfully used in the past. This camshaft features .660-inch lift for both the intake and exhaust valves, with duration at .050-inch lift numbers coming in at 284 and 288 degrees, respectively. With a lobe separation of 108 degrees, we've found this cam to provide broad torque and power curves, which is the key to making a bracket racing engine consistent. We also chose Comp's 1.5 ratio roller rocker arms and their roller timing set to complete our top end. For induction, we topped our engine with a Mopar Performance M-1 intake manifold matched with a Holley 1050-cfm Dominator carburetor. Exhaust duties will be handled by Hooker's fenderwell exit headers with 2-inch primaries and 3.5-inch collectors. To light the fires, we chose an MSD Pro-billet distributor. Federal-Mogul bearings were utilized throughout our engine, and Speed-Pro rings combined with Cometic multilayer steel head gaskets helped to seal the cylinders.
Assembling this engine was easy thanks to the accurate machine work performed by Chenoweth Racing. We checked all our block's dimensions prior to assembly and found them to be well within the prescribed tolerances. While we won't be putting this engine on the dyno, we will be testing it at the track once the rest of the project is complete. In our experience this combination should be good for realistic horsepower numbers in the 650 range and should have no problem propelling our '67 'Cuda well into the 10s in the quarter-mile.
Be sure to stay tuned to future issues as we complete the car and head to the track for some testing.

We sent our block to Chenoweth Racing Enterprises for their block-in-a-bag service. This service fully blueprints the block to your specifications on Chenoweth's state-of-the-art Rottler equipment.One of our cylinders didn't clean up when bored for the proper piston-to-wall clearance, so the guys at Chenoweth installed a cylinder sleeve for us.There are a couple of reasons to bush the lifter bores in a big-block. First, it correctly aligns the lifter bore with the cam as the bores can be a degree or two off from the factory. Second, the bushing is a good way to restrict oil to the lifter since we'll be running a roller cam in this engine.With the lifter bores oversized, the bushing is installed and then honed to the proper clearance for the lifter. This procedure corrects any valve timing inconsistencies from cylinder to cylinder, ensuring we get the most from our engine.Cylinder boring is included in Chenoweth's block-in-a-bag service. Final honing is performed with torque plates.The block's machined surfaces, deck, timing cover, oil pan rail, and oil pump pad are all squared up as a part of Chenoweth's service.The main journals are line-bored, ensuring proper crank alignment. This procedure should be mandatory in a race engine as it greatly increases bearing life.When we got our block back from Chenoweth, trial fitting the crank showed us the areas that would need to be clearanced for the crank's weights. Clearancing is performed by hand with a die-grinder and carbide bit.
After grinding our block for crankshaft clearance, we only needed to wash it with soap and water, then dry it with compressed air before we could begin checking oil clearances and assembling the engine.Since we'll be running a Milodon oil system with an external pickup, we blocked off the threaded hole where the pickup would go with a pipe plug, then pressed a small expansion plug into the oil pickup galley in the block under the oil pump.Checking oil clearances by measuring is an important procedure in any engine build. Thanks to accurate machining, ours were all within the prescribed tolerances.Prior to having our rotating assembly balanced, we used a hand file to chamfer all the edges of our piston domes. Sharp edges in the combustion chamber can create hot spots that lead to power-robbing detonation.We're using a Milodon oil system for this engine because it pretty much sets the standard for oiling the big-block Chrysler. We love their new kit which combines their redesigned low-profile pan with a single-line external pickup and oil pump.We soaked our Comp roller lifters in engine oil before installing them. This ensures adequate oiling to all the needle bearings when we fire the engine for the first time.The main limitation of a stock block is the two-bolt main construction. We're using a Chenoweth main stud girdle to give our main caps extra strength on a separate axis. This will limit the "cap-walk" associated with high-rpm drag racing motors and should help keep our bottom end tight for multiple seasons of racing.
We've found that head studs, combined with Cometic multilayer steel-coated head gaskets, will seal the cylinders as well as if we had installed O-rings, and without the machining costs associated with O-ringing the block and heads.We're using a Comp Cams double roller timing set to spin our cam. After degreeing the cam, we always install a cam button to prevent the camshaft from moving forward in the block during high-rpm/high-load conditions.NHRA rules dictate that we utilize an SFI-approved harmonic balancer. We've had great luck with Fluidampr brand balancers in the past, and they meet the SFI specifications. The Fluidampr also has a standard Chrysler bolt pattern for the pulleys in case we want to run an alternator or other accessories in the future.We always file fit our piston rings in a race application; this allows us to vary the ring end gap allowing for the engine's cylinder pressure and intended use. We chose Speed Pro piston rings for this build.We utilized Comp Cams roller rockers for our big-block as they combine roller bearings on the shafts with roller tips for accurate valve timing. Lash was set at the recommended .026-inch intake and .028-inch exhaust. We'll experiment with different lash settings at the track to optimize this combination.In an effort to save weight and maximize cooling efficiency, we'll use a Mopar Performance water pump housing combined with a Milodon high-volume aluminum water pump.Even the oil pan bolts have a torque specification, which is all the more important since the oil pan studs will also be supporting our Chenoweth main girdle. It is important to always use an accurate torque wrench when assembling an engine.The final step to building an engine is to always prime the oil system using a priming shaft as shown here. This fills all the oil galleys and builds oil pressure in the engine prior to start-up. Our priming shaft is actually the intermediate (oil pump) shaft from a Ford 302 that we spin counter clockwise with a drill.With the engine complete and oil system primed, we've dropped in the MSD distributor and bolted on the motor plate and coil. Having the completed engine on the stand should encourage us to finish the car so we can go racing. Be sure to stay tuned to future issues as we complete our bracket racer and head to the track for some testing.

I have heard of a couple methods for removing rust from rattling a chain/sand/rocks with diesel fuel in the tank to doing an acid treatment. Is this something I should attempt to do, pay for a professional repair, or just replace all together?

Motorcycle folks seem to do this a lot, presumably because the gas tank is easy to remove and small enough to manhandle (personhandle?).
A Google search produces a lot of results for how to do this, and any of the ways you've heard will probably work well. Here's one detailed list: http://www.mopedarmy.com/wiki/Removing_rust_from_a_gas_tank
You have to decide what your expectations are. If you just want to remove a lot of rust and be done, use chain / rocks / screws / ice cubes. If you want a pristine gas tank that will resist rust for a decade or more, you'll want to get ALL the rust out and then coat the inside so it won't rust again. In that case, try POR-15.
K.B.S coatings make a 3 step kit to clean blast and reseal tank.Involves tank removal (a compressor aids in one part of process-I used a hair dryer) and is suitable for cars and bikes.

Greetings from Texas FlyFishers > General Discussion
Interesting article on Rollover Pass
"GALVESTON - An omission in a computer model led to faulty conclusions about the need to close Rollover Pass, a trench dug to bisect the Bolivar Peninsula more than 50 years ago that has become a fishing mecca, according to an attorney fighting the closure.
"This isn't something that happens by accident," said Jim Blackburn, attorney for Bolivar Peninsula residents fighting state efforts to close the pass.
Blackburn said a consultant for the Texas General Land Office left out data about freshwater inflow into the East Bay from a computer program used in a study to justify closing the pass. When the information is included, Blackburn said, it shows that closing Rollover Pass will result in so much freshwater that it could harm oyster beds.
Blackburn's accusation, if verified, would discredit a claim by the Land Office that closing Rollover Pass would end the harm caused by too much salt water flowing into East Bay.
The Land Office also contends that closing the pass would slow erosion of the peninsula shore line and would end expensive dredging by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers of sand washed through the pass into the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.
Land Office spokesman Jim Suydam said his agency hired Jacksonville, Fla.,-based Taylor Engineering Inc., but otherwise was not involved in the study criticized by Blackburn.
"I don't think they cheated," Suydam said. "The Land Office doesn't direct a contractor about how to do a study."
Taylor Engineering could not be reached for comment.
Suydam said that the closure of the pass has been studied for years and is supported by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
The closing is opposed by many of the residents of the Gilchrist Community that straddles Rollover Pass.
The Gulf Coast Rod, Reel and Gun Club, which owns the property the pass cuts through, and the Gilchrist Community Association hired Blackburn, who in April filed a federal lawsuit on their behalf aimed at halting the closure.
The Land Office in the meantime entered into an agreement with Galveston County Commissioners Court to condemn Rollover Pass so closure operations could begin. The Land Office has offered to build a fishing pier to replace the pass.
Blackburn hired engineer Lawrence Dunbar to review the study by the Land Office consultant that was used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to do an environmental assessment. Dunbar's report says that the computer model used by Taylor Engineering was flawed. "This model is totally invalid and unreliable," Dunbar wrote.
Dunbar's report says that the Taylor Engineering model failed to account for freshwater flows from Oyster Bayou, which he says is the primary source of fresh water to the East Bay. The report also said the Taylor model did not consider the Needmore Diversion project now under construction, which will put more freshwater into East Bay.
"It is my opinion that the closing of Rollover Pass would have adverse impacts to the water quality in East Bay, specifically to the dramatic lowering of salinity levels in the bay," Dunbar wrote. He said current salinity levels in East Bay are in the ideal range for oyster production.
Dunbar's report said that the reason for digging Rollover Pass was to increase the salinity of East Bay and make it hospitable to oysters and other marine life."
We will have to watch the fall out, and see who got "paid."
I see that this has not made the local news.....
I don't really know if closing it is a good idea or not. Yes, I know it is not a natural pass, but the run-off to the bay has changed quite a bit since the 1950s when it was built. I question the assertion that east bay is over-saline due to the pass. I have seen Trinity as fresh as Lake Livingston. Certainly, due to development, there is considerably more run-off than there was in years past.
All I really care about is what is best for Galveston Bay.
Finn Maccumhail:
I'm skeptical of the criticism when the guy trying to debunk the GLO's engineering study is being paid by the people who don't want the pass closed.
I'm all in favor of closing the pass as everything I've read and anectdotal evidence of people I know who have lived in Anahuac/Winnie and fished East Bay since the 30s is that Rollover has been one of many detrimental changes. Perhaps closing Rollover won't fix everything but it will help.
Trinity has a lot more freshwater inputs and even so, pre-ROP, East Bay was typically sub-10ppm in salinity. Almost immediately EB salinity levels jumped over 20ppm and in many areas 25ppm+.
ROP via increased salinity and increased sediment has hurt ROP- the salinity killed off the grass. Widgeon grass was reportedly the predominant grass in EB pre-ROP and from what I understand it cannot withstand high salinity levels. When you stress the grass with high salinity and add in the increased turbidity due to sediment inflow you kill off the grass. Plus, the increased salinity allows for the parasitic oyster drill snail to flourish (at 20ppm+). So now you've killed off (or greatly harmed) two major factors in filtering the water. That can't be good.
As for the popular bogeyman of "real estate developers"- Bolivar cannot support any sort of large scale development. There is simply too little ground to build on. You can build big beach houses but the infrastructure cannot support condo developments like on Galveston's West End. First, there's not sufficient wastewater treatment plants. You'd have to build a new one and you're talking hundreds of millions of dollars if you can even get permitted. Plus the building code requirements for sewer lines, etc.- most new construction there is on a septic system and you can't do septic for condos. Bottom line, the costs and risks of development on Bolivar are far too high and the returns far too low to support development of the level needed to put juice behind closing ROP.
Dave Kelly:
Along the line of salinity, how much has the daming of the Trinity at Livingston affected the pp/m count?

STOCKBRIDGE, Ga -- A family spokesperson says a teenager who tried to save his older sister from their burning home is now off a respirator and breathing on his own.
Fifteen-year-old Mike Haney was rushed to an Augusta hospital for smoke inhalation Saturday after an early morning fire.
Family members say Haney woke up early Sunday morning and ran through the smoke-filled hallway trying to wake up his parents and his 25-year-old sister Karen Prichard.
Once Haney and his parents were outside, they realized his sister was still inside. Haney ran back into the house and was not seen again until firefighters arrived to pull him and his older sister. She did not survive.
Henry County officials said the home had one smoke alarm in the kitchen, but that it did not have a battery in it at the time of the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation by Henry County fire investigators.
Friends of Haney and Prichard set up a Facebook page to honor Prichard's memory and give updates on Haney's recovery.
