Most car lovers go to car auctions looking for a diamond in the rough. But then there are the collectors who can afford to drop seven or eight figures on a priceless auto. These 10 cars are the most expensive ever sold at auction.
These Are Ten of the Coolest Supercars of the 1990s
Most car lovers go to car auctions looking for a diamond in the rough. But then there are the collectors who can afford to drop seven or eight figures on a priceless auto. These 10 cars are the most expensive ever sold at auction.More
Seven-figure deals are common at the top auto collector auctions these days, and the trend is there's no limit in sight. It started in 1987, when a Bugatti Royale sold at a Christie's auction in London for $7 million, and in 1988 a barn-find Ferrari sold for $2.8 million in Monterey, kicking off two decades of multi-million-dollar prices for special cars at auction. In 2005, the total take at the four car collector auctions during the week-long Scottsdale Barrett-Jackson extravaganza was $79 million.
To understand this trend, first you need to understand a bit about car auctions: They're way different than a transaction between two people. The auction company charges a fee, called a buyer's premium, from 5% to 17.5% in addition to the selling price of the car, and the buyer has to pay it. Then, the seller may add a seller's premium. That's part of the reason most car collectors tell us an auction is the most expensive way to buy a car. Another reason is that bidding tends to raise competition beyond any other type of negotiation.
Often buyers play with the auction process, looking for cars that do not meet a minimum purchase price, known as a seller's reserve, and then the buyers contact the sellers privately after the auction to purchase the car without public scrutiny. (IRS agents patrol high-dollar auto auctions.) However, an auction is a way to make a transaction happen that otherwise might take too long, or might not attract a buyer at all. It is likely private transactions have resulted in higher prices than the following auction results, but we'll never know.
NOTE: The dollars figures given are what the cars sold for at the time of auction. If the sale prices listed here were corrected for the change in the dollar over time, this list would change. For example, in June 1986, a 1931 Bugatti Royale known as the Berline de Voyager auctioned for $6.5 million. Many auction followers believe that if adjusted to today's dollars, the car actually sold for the equivalent of between $11 and $20 million.
That said, here are the top auction prices to date.
Price Paid: $16,390,000
Sold: August 2011 at Monterey, Calif.
Just this year, a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa was sold at the Gooding & Company auction during the Pebble Beach collector car extravaganza for $16,390,000, which is about $4 million more than the previous price record-setting Ferrari from two years ago. The car itself is known to collectors as the "666" Testa Rossa (Italian for "red head"), because its serial number from the Ferrari factory is 0666TR. It's the first prototype of all of the subsequent Testa Rossas, which had breakthrough "pontoon" bodywork, as well as a 3.0-liter V12 engine. It raced at LeMans, the Nurburgring, and at Sebring endurance sports car events, though as a test prototype its results were merely average.

have been feeding my 2 package colonies since intalling early June. Using division board feeders and checking ~ weekly. My question is what do they do when / if they run out of syrup between checks? I do see them bringing in lots of pollen and as I understand that roughly translates to about the same amount of nectar. Started them on Pierco and I think they are putting all their energy into drawing comb, but I am getting a little nervous that they seem to have very little honey stored that could get them through the few days when the feeders might go dry. I am getting ready to install miller type feeders but my goal is to try and disturb them less rather than more. As the weather here warms they are using the syrup faster...
Thanks - your thoughts are appreciated!

This series of activities is designed to introduce students to the role of sediments and sedimentary rocks in the global carbon cycle. Students learn how stable carbon isotopes can be used to reconstruct ancient sedimentary environments. Students will make some simple calculations, formulate hypotheses, and think about the implications of their results. The activity includes an optional demonstration of the density separation of a sediment sample into a light, organic fraction and a heavier, mineral fraction.
This short video features the Alaska Lake Ice and Snow Observatory Network (ALISON project), a citizen science program in which 4th and 5th graders help scientists study the relationship between climate change and lake ice and snow conditions.
This video documents the challenges that climate change presents for four specific Arctic predators: polar bears, Arctic foxes, beluga whales, and walruses.
This video describes how geothermal heat resources in California have been tapped to supply 850 MW of electricity. Images and animations show how the area known as The Geysers has been developed to capture steam, produced from trapped rainwater and heated by the earth. Major challenges include finding suitable geothermal resources to develop, and ensuring that underground water is replenished.
In this 'Energy Education for the 21st Century' design challenge, students construct and evaluate a solar-powered model car. Students utilize the design process and undergo review by their peers to select an optimal gear ratio and components for their car. As a culminating activity, students compete in a Solar Sprint race modeled after the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Junior Solar Sprint competition.
This set of six interactive slides showcases how a typical photovoltaic cell converts solar energy into electricity. Explore the components of a photovoltaic cell, including the silicon layers, metal backing, antireflective coating, and metal conductor strips. Using animations, investigate why the silicon layers are doped with phosphorous and boron, and how an electric field is used to generate electricity from sunlight.
In this activity for undergraduates, students explore the CLIMAP (Climate: Long-Range Investigation, Mapping and Prediction) model results for differences between the modern and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and discover the how climate and vegetation may have changed in different regions of the Earth based on scientific data.
This animation presents the characteristics of wind power as a source of clean energy. The force of moving air generates electricity, by rotating blades around a rotor. The motion of the rotor turns a driveshaft that drives an electric generator.
This activity features video segments from a 2007 PBS program on solar energy. Students follow a seven-step invention process to design, build, and test a solar cooker that will pasteurize water. In addition, they are asked to describe how transmission, absorption, and reflection are used in a solar cooker to heat water and to evaluate what variables contribute to a successful cooker.
In this video, students learn how scientific surveys of wildlife are performed at a site in Yosemite, California. These surveys, in conjunction with studies from the early 1900s, provide evidence that animal populations in Yosemite have shifted over time in response to rising temperatures.

An arc welder of any type is at heart just a power supply. The Tig torch takes that power and puts the arc out through a small diameter tungsten electrode that is not consumed in the process, the shielding gas prevents the tungsten from burning up as well as protecting the weld puddle from the oxy in the air. The small diameter means less power is needed to make a small puddle and the concentrated heat makes the heat affected zone smaller.
When arc welding with a consumable electrode, you replace the Tig torch with a standard electrode holder and leave the gas turned off. Now it operates just like a normal DC arc welder, but with only 90 amps of power it is suitable only for smaller/thinner work as you won't get much penetration.
I lucked onto a ThermalArc welding power supply at work, it does TIG, Stick, and MIG. There is a switch for each mode, but that is mainly because it has several current modification controls and some are not desireable for a particular type of welding. It came with a Miller wire feeder with a feeder gun on it for AL wire. It works for all 3 types of welding, I just need to get more practice in, especially on the AL MIG.

Below is the abstract of a technical paper that examines aspects of GM studies that cast light on the processes by which bees gain resistance to viruses. That's followed by extracts from a second paper that seem to elaborate usefully.
Some people think this understanding could lead to new and useful techniques that beekeepers could use. Its also probable that Monsanto (who appear to have bought some of the leading research) will try to exploit to their own sweet ends.
In either case its probably worth having a working knowledge of what's going on.
I think one useful thing to try to figure out (we don't get it here) is how often it occurs that a fragment of virus is absorbed into a bee genome in a way that confers resistance to that virus. (It would also be good if somebody could explain _how_ it confers that resistance.)
In my view an important thing to remember, that is incorporated, but not elaborated in the text, is that when that happens it supplies a new mechanism that is then utilized in the normal adaptive/evolutionary processes.
With that second point in mind, we could usefully try to discover a response to the first - how often does it happen. I think an indication is supplied by the extracts, but that's as far as I've got.
Please feel free to pick these thoughts apart and correct me. I'm here to learn.
Maori E, Tanne E, Sela I: Reciprocal sequence exchange between non-retro viruses and hosts leading to the appearance of new host phenotypes.
[Abstract only available]
Divergence among individuals of the same species may be linked to positional retrotransposition into different loci in different individuals. Here we add to recent reports indicating that individual variance occurs due to the integration of non-retroviral (potyviral) RNAs into the host genome via RNA recombination followed by retrotransposition. We report that in bees (Apis mellifera), approximately 30% of all tested populations carry a segment of a dicistrovirus in their genome and have thus become virus-resistant. Reciprocally, segments of host sequences have been found within defective-interfering-like sequences of a dicistrovirus. Similarly, host sequences were found fused to potyviral sequences, previously described integrated into their host genome. A potential, continuous RNA exchange leading to divergence is discussed.
Isolation and characterization of Israeli acute paralysis virus, a dicistrovirus affecting honeybees in Israel: evidence for diversity due to intra- and inter-species recombination
Eyal Maori, Shai Lavi, Rita Mozes-Koch, Yulia Gantman, Yuval Peretz, Orit Edelbaum, Edna Tanne and Ilan Sela
[Full paper available]
Intra- and inter-species recombination of viral and viral-non-viral sequences
A DNA version of a segment of IAPV RNA has been found integrated into the bee genome, and reciprocally, a host sequence has been found embedded in an IAPV-related DI RNA (Maori et al., 2007). Figs 1⇑ and 5⇑ indicate the presence, within the virions, of RNAs carrying IAPV sequences which are smaller than full-length.
Although RNA recombination requires certain structural features, by and large, it is a random occurrence. Therefore, the amount and characteristics of encapsidated DI-like RNAs may change from one cycle of infection to the next, and viral populations may differ from each other in this respect. We showed different profiles in different viral preparations (Fig. 5⇑). Therefore, the reported quantitative values apply to that particular viral preparation, and may differ when other preparations are tested.
In many instances, bee viruses are found as non-apparent infections in their host. This may result from competition between the viral RNA and the abundant DI-like RNAs, but also from the abundance of double-stranded RNA structures carrying viral sequences. In the latter case, the balance between host factors silencing viral sequences and the virus-induced silencing suppressors may shift in favour of viral silencing. Another postulated consequence inferred from the various types of DI-like RNAs is the modification of proteins resulting from deletions, engendering deleted or frame-shifted proteins. Thus, RNA recombination may elicit protein divergence with obvious evolutionary impact. Furthermore, a reciprocal exchange between host DNA and viral RNA (or a DNA version of a recombinant viral RNA) has been demonstrated (Tanne & Sela, 2005; Maori et al., 2007). Therefore, RNA recombination may engender divergence in host genes, and the evolution of both virus and host may be interrelated and linked to the very same eliciting process. "

I am my connectome
Sebastian Seung is mapping a massively ambitious new model of the brain that focuses on the connections between each neuron. He calls it our "connectome," and it's as individual as our genome — and understanding it could open a new way to understand our brains and our minds.

Tyrell Lyons has been very impressive this season and he moved up to the no. 26 outside linebacker in the country. The 6-foot-2, 222 pound senior out of First Coast is committed to Florida State.
The other two prospects that added that fourth star are running back A.J. Turman and wide receiver James Clark.
Recruiting Analyst Jamie Newberg made a push for both of those guys and he explains why.
"I haven't seen Clark in person but I love what I see in film. He reminds me of Santana Moss because of his size/speed combo. Clearly Clark is one of the most explosive prospects regardless of position in the country - exceptional speed and quickness. Very productive. Can play on the outside or be a slot. This is an aggressive kid that can go get the football," Newberg said about the new no. 29 receiver in the country.
Turman moved up to the no. 32 spot at running back and Newberg has been pushing for Turman to ascend up the rankings for well over a month.
"Turman doesn't get the play in the state because there's some big name ahead of him but this is a cat that excels at running the ball between the tackles. The knock on Turman is top end home run speed but I think he's certainly fast enough to get the job done. This is a power back that gets a ton of yards after contact. He has very good balance and leg drive."
Clark remains uncommitted and Turman is committed to Georgia.
A couple of running backs went out with a bang while winning state titles after sitting just a couple spots outside the four-star group, both joined it.
All you can say is wow after reading North Carolina commitment's stat sheet from Saturday.
T.J. Logan finished the game with 510 yards and eight touchdowns on 28 carries. The 5-foot-11, 180 pound back out of Northern Guilford (N.C.) is going to make a lot of plays for the Tar Heels. He has shown quickness, an excellent burst, and he is great in space.
Mark Dodson helped Whitehaven (Tenn.) take care of business in their game and he had 318 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 34 carries to earn offensive MVP honors. He finished the season with 3,397 yards and 37 touchdowns.
Dodson is another back with great speed, he is very elusive, and he runs with more power than some would expect. He can also catch the ball well out of the backfield.
The star back out of Whitehaven that is committed to Ole Miss is not the only senior out of Tennessee that added a star.
Jason Carr, a big defensive lineman out of White Station did too.
He had a very good senior season and it still growing and maturing as a player.
"Jason played extremely well for us this season. He had 14 sacks, he blocked a kick, and he is a great ball player. He just doesn't have the size, but he is a true football player," White Station head coach Bevin Rutherford said.
Coach Rutherford added, "We played him at defensive end, outside linebacker, defensive tackle, and all over the place this year. The way he made the transition from each position really stood out to our coaches. He knew what to do at each spot, how to play each position, and he had a great season."
Those were the big movers going up in the rankings, but there were some other moves made.
Here are some quick hits on a few of those:

Hello All,
A fellow beekeeper told me that the FDA has approved Oxalic Acid for treatment of mites. I am not aware of any way to verify if this is true or not.
Was he right?..... or just trying to sound like he knew what he was talking about.
and how can I verify?

We miss on Brinkley and we lost our starting tightend and Philips.patriots are trying for Dwight freeny,Adrian Wilson,and john Abraham
We're just one of those teams that don't like the free agency at all.
yea.. I blame that thing called a salary cap..
What don't some of u understand that with success comes signing ur own FA's, as there more coveted on winning clubs, as u see with the ravens right now.. And chances are when u don't have tons of losing seasons in a row, u got a franchise QB, which costs big bucks, see ELI, Matt Ryan, and Flacco.. It took yrs and yrs of losing for the 9ers and seahawks to get to the point where there actually hitting on there early rd draft picks while also still having cap room.. Now in about 3-4 yrs , maybe more, lets see if the 9ers and Seahawks have this cap space if there still playing successful ball.. Drafting also takes a process as the giants rarley get these top 10 guys, which teams that stink pile up in there stinky yrs, and u add in those picks with cap space, and eventually u get it right.. Its amazing the giants haven't stunk for a chunk of seasons, with the natural order of the NFL taking place..
Its very simple, albeit, harder to write down i suppose...
You wanted us to sign Bennett for $20M?
Please tell us what type of contract we should be oofering to Freeney, Wilson and/or Abraham?
Yeah those 2 Super Bowls in the last 6 years really show the FO is clueless.
Yea the patriots sure are better than the giants.
Every year the younger/newer posters whine about our lack of a huge splash in free agency. Every year I tell them the same things. If you want a team that signs big name free agents, who also command big time $, I suggest you find a new team to follow.
Giant do things differently. It isnt the Giants that need to change their ways, since it is obviously working for them, but rather you as a fan who needs to stop trying to turn the Giants into the Cowboys/Skins.

Listen HERE [2].
While the vast environmental and economic damage from last year's BP oil spill is still being calculated, deep water oil drilling has now resumed in the Gulf of Mexico. Soon after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster, the Obama administration's Interior Department imposed a moratorium on deepwater drilling, but under pressure from the oil industry and their conservative political allies, the moratorium was lifted in October 2010.
Government officials maintained that they would not issue new deepwater drilling permits until drill platform operators demonstrated their ability to contain future oil spills. But some critics believe that the Obama administration, hoping to appease the oil industry, rushed to grant new deepwater permits without first ensuring that rigorous new safety standards were in place. In fact, a Norwegian company contracted by the U.S. government to test the effectiveness of blowout preventers used to prevent a spill in case of a wellhead explosion, found that many of the blowout preventers in use today around the world have major design flaws.
Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Antonia Juhasz, author of the new book, "Black Tide: The Devastating Impact of the Gulf Oil Spill," who talks about the economic and political power of the oil industry to weaken regulations on drilling safety -- and the widespread belief that the current spike in oil and gas prices is due to oil market manipulation and speculation.

Best describe me as "dumb, but happy" so far with my new beekeeping adventure. Got a late start this spring and couldn't find anyone who still had packaged bees, so found someone an hour away selling nucs. I can't compare using nucs to packaged bees, but using them worked pretty slick--and they weren't that much more expensive.
I got into beekeeping due to my uncle giving me a couple of his hives. He hadn't used them for over 15 years, so was pretty sure they were free of any kind of disease/critters, although I did buy and set-upped a new hive just in case.
Fortunately an acquaintance of mine is a beekeeper and has become my mentor, which has been great--I owe him at least two cases of beer by now!
Well, back outside to check on the girls--I put on the supers last week so am anxious to see if anything is going on with them.

Most football fans would agree that the most important position on the team is quarterback, but the majority of coaches at any level would also state that the play up front is equally valuable.

Deputies: Camp Lejeune Marine threatens estranged wife, fellow Marine
CAMP LEJEUNE, ONSLOW COUNTY - A Camp Lejeune Marine, who investigators called armed, dangerous and homicidal, was arrested after he allegedly threatened his estranged wife and a fellow Marine.
LCpl. Kenneth Austin, 23, made threats of bodily harm to the the victims at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday, according to Sgt. Joel Besino of Camp Lejeune. Both police and deputies in Onslow County were looking for the suspect.
A few hours later, Austin crashed his Ford Focus into a ditch near Seymore Black Road, off Highway 117 just north of Warsaw, said Duplin County Sheriff Blake Wallace.
Deputies arrested Austin at about 7:30 a.m. as he was walking on train tracks, Sheriff Wallace said. Austin was charged with reckless driving and failure to report an accident for the Duplin County wreck.
But at last check, Austin had not been charged for the alleged threat. According to Sheriff Wallace, the suspect was being transferred back to the Marine Corps to be taken into custody. A Camp Lejeune official said the Marine Corps is working with the Naval Criminal Investigation Service on this case.
Although Austin was considered armed, dangerous and homicidal, he wasn't believed to be an immediate danger to the public, investigators said.
Austin, originally from Mercer, Pa., is a rifleman at Camp Lejeune, according to base officials. He had been deployed three times.

My budget is very small. I purchased the cheapest band saw I could afford, a Craftsman on sale. It was less than $100. It worked, but just barely. Still having the same budget, but needing my band saw to perform much better, I did some research and discovered there were band saw blades made with carbide teeth. For about the same cost as the saw itself, I purchased one. I've recently been using it to cut frame components - wow. It makes my cheap Craftsman band saw cut like a dream. No more wandering cuts, cuts are smooth, accurate and quick. I don't need to replace the blade every week with a new, sharp, one. It is always sharp. Its one small con, is that its kerf is more than a typical steel blade, but that is more than made up for in the accuracy and smoothness of the carbide blades cut. Very little sanding would be required to have a nice finish, if what you were making needed such a finish.
At the same time, I also purchased a new fence, an 18" Pro Grip Clamp and Universal Fence. I also got the Pro Grip 90 Degree Head, which helps to ensure the fence is quickly and easily aligned properly. Conveniently this fence is easily moved to and used on my $90 table saw, which I use primarily as a cut-off saw, cutting longer pieces of lumber to length.
With these few accessories I have been able to get excellent performance from both my cheap band saw and cheap table saw tools, they would otherwise be considered pieces of junk.

Where I stayed
I went to the Massachusetts Capitol, more commonly referred to as the State House, today. It's in Beacon Hill, a very congested neighborhood in Boston. I eventually found a very expensive place to park and walked to the State House.
The original State House is quite old but it has been expanded and renovated over the years. I started off wandering around on my own. While I was wandering around a tour wandered by so I joined it. When the tour was over I went to the guide desk and joined a tour from the beginning. I had planned on just staying with the tour up to the point I had joined the previous tour but I wound up staying with it until the end. Much of the what the guides said differed between the two tours.
When I was done my second tour I went back to take pictures. There are some really grand rooms that, unfortunately, were very difficult to photograph, normally due to the high contrast.
My next stop was the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA). I found another expensive parking space nearby and walked to the museum. It was Thursday, which is one of the nights they're open late. There was a tour starting soon after I arrived so I took the tour.
There were a number of temporary exhibits going on including Floor of the Forest by Trisha Brown Dance Company, Anthropocene Extinction by Swoon and Dance / Draw, a part of their ICA 75 program celebrating 75 years of contemporary art in Boston.
As is often the case when I visit contemporary art museums, I find much of it interesting or thought provoking but there were only a few pieces that I liked. That's not a reflection on the museum. It's a very good museum. There's just a lot of contemporary art I don't like.

Herbert McClintock's surrealist works of the late 1930s and early 1940s were greatly influenced by European sources. McClintock viewed reproductions of Surrealist works and drew ideas from texts, as well as exhibitions. In Strange oversight McClintock used crisp bright colours, bold forms, and distorted perspective in a deserted landscape to create a distinctly eerie dream-like scene. After leaving Perth for Melbourne in 1940, McClintock developed a more Social Realist approach to painting and he never returned to Surrealism.

Unopened bags would normally be returned for a credit. Saving and reusing excess seed isnt a good farming practice because a somewhat higher rate would have to be planted in the next year to account for a lower anticipated germination.

Recently, a college student, after purchasing and eating pot cookies, started shaking violently, and then jumped to his death from a Denver hotel room. A local man ate pot-laced candy, started hallucinating, and allegedly shot his wife to death.
According to the Wall Street Journal, in recent years Denver area pot-related emergency room visits have more than tripled to 3,871. We even have the sad spectacle of Greeley fourth-graders dealing pot at school.
How did the great state of Colorado sink to such a low level when even New Jersey governor Chris Christie has figured out that legalized pot is bad news?
Tragically, voters passed Amendment 64, which makes pot legal in Colorado. But, perhaps this could change as Coloradans see this nightmare continue to unfold.
A new amendment could be placed on the ballot to reverse Amendment 64. Perhaps the Colorado state government could propose legislation to over turn this dangerous policy, although that is unlikely with Democrat control of the Colorado senate, house, and governorship.
In any event, our state needs to take steps to reverse the tragic consequences of legalized pot. Colorado doesn't need more suicides and murders.
Charles Newton
Highlands Ranch
Using your logic, I take it that you would also like to have alcohol and tobacco made illegal as well, since there are way more deaths/issues related to those substances yearly than in the past decade related to pot smoking.
It would be a disgrace for the Colorado government to override the will of the people. Over 50% voters in this state decided to make it legal.
If you do not like it, you are welcome to move to New Jersey.

What do music, the iPhone and Hurricane Katrina have to do with streetlights? If you are Ron Harwood, everything. Ron is the inventor of Intellistreets, an LED street light system that goes way beyond simply lighting our streets.
Ron Harwood is the inventor of Intellistreets, a system of connected technologies installed within city street light posts to form an intelligent wireless network for services, safety, and entertainment (streetlights as part of the Internet of Things). Ron is also the owner of at least 15 patents in the sound and lighting industry. Although he is an electrical engineer, his passion for much of his life has been music and people. From marching on Washington during the Civil Rights movement and learning to play music from the likes of Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, and Pete Seeger to making a demo recording for Joni Mitchell and managing Sippy Wallace's comeback in the late 60's, Ron lived for music. He even introduced Sippy Wallace to Bonnie Raitt, who ended up putting two of Sippy's songs on her first album, which was a huge success. But when Columbia Records called to offer Ron a record producer job in New York City, Ron chose a different path.
For Ron, lighting, music, technology, and people are inseparably part of his life. Like Steve Jobs, Ron did not know how the dots would connect moving forward, but he followed his heart. Early in Ron's career, he spent most of his time in the entertainment business, managing entertainment lighting, and sound for Disney parks and bands. But after 9-11, things changed. Having lost friends in the tragedy, Ron started taking life more seriously. He started rethinking how people enjoy and interact with iconic U.S. cities. What if Intellistreets had been installed in New York City at the time of 9-11? Could the system have saved lives? And after hurricane Katrina, Ron's respect for the people and culture of New Orleans, especially its musicians, compelled him to finally put his ideas into action. Ron pooled his talents and created a product to connect people to their cities in a way that is beautiful, sustainable, entertaining, intelligent, and interactive. Like the iPhone, this system can do much more than make a call or light a street.

Texas Society of Architects honors Candid Rogers
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Nov. 15, 2007)--The Texas Society of Architects (TSA) recently presented a design award to UTSA architecture lecturer Candid Rogers, AIA, during their annual convention in Austin. The award was for his renovated home and studio, which revitalized an 1870s-era stonework home in one of San Antonio's oldest neighborhoods.

Located south of downtown, Lavaca is one of the area's oldest neighborhoods with an estimated 600 homes, many of which have remained in the same families for generations. Roger's home is believed to date to 1873 and the historic two-room limestone structure has served as an anchor for the redevelopment of the property.
Rogers refurbished the basement into a working studio, added a wing for a kitchen and bathroom, and a wing for a master bedroom, master bath, guest bedroom and porch.
Jurors noted Rogers' attention to architecture theory and techniques. He stripped away the original plaster façade, which covered classic limestone walls. Rather than copy the original structure, the house's wings and detached garage are clearly additions, utilizing cedar and galvanized metal, which TSA juror Peter Bohlin said provided a "contemporary frame" for the classical home.
Rogers' home was recognized in 2006 by the Lavaca Neighborhood Association with a Movers and Shakers Award. According to neighborhood association president Joan Carbabin , while several homes in the Lavaca neighborhood were being renovated, Rogers' project represented one of the most dramatic improvements to a neglected property.
Rogers' work also was honored with a merit award from the San Antonio chapter of the American Institute of Architects.

Bend runners organize 'Race for Boston'
5K run/walk to be held Monday night
BEND, Ore. - More than 100 runners and walkers have already pledged their support to participate in a 5K course Monday night, beginning behind FootZone in downtown Bend and finishing in the Old Mill.
FootZone and other partners are hosting the race at 6:30 p.m. to honor the victims and those affected by the Boston tragedy. It's part of a nationwide series of runs being held exactly one week after the bombings.
FootZone owner Teague Hatfield said Sunday it's a free event to remember, pay tribute and celebrate the sport of running.
Hatfield is asking people to come and and wear the colors of the Boston Marathon -- blue and yellow.
He said he expects some Central Oregonians who participated the Boston Marathon to run in the Bend race.
"It's been an emotional week," Hatfield said. "And I think it's just a time for us to come together and honor that, and get folks out there, just showing support (after) the tragedy of the last week."
Runners are asked to try to sign up for the event in advance.
You can do that at http://www.footzonebend.com/events/runners-for-boston.
A limited number of T-shirts will be available for $20, and all proceeds will go to 'One Fund Boston,' to help those affected by the bombings.

What is in this article?:
Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
')})(); //-->
Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
It is a code violation to mount conduits and boxes directly to the bottom of a roof deck
The roofer is using screws that are too long. The box is in fact below the. 1 1/2" required by code.
Is this an old (exisitng) installation done prior to the 1-1/2" below ceiling requirement?
The boxes and the EMT should had been installed on unistrut at least 1-1/2 deep.
Four conduits entering the 1-1/2 deep octagon box is too many. This means 12 wires in the box, which is rated for 6- awg # 12 or 7- awg # 14.
I agree with one of the respondants above that it certainly appears like the boxes and conduit are more than 1-1/2" below the deck. Appear to be mounted on I-beam type supports.
The conduit, and boxes are mounted directly to the roof pans( note the 1-hole strap on the conduit at the bottom of the picture), and none of the other conduits appear to be secured as required
The roofer in this case should not be in that trade.
Also warn them not to wire buildings either!!!!
Previous NEC editions have required protection of conductors where subject to physical damage. While most Code users understand this rule is intended to apply to all conductors in all wiring methods, it didn't clearly state that. The 2011 revision clarifies that all conductors in all wiring methods must be protected from physical damage [300.4].
The rule in 300.4(E) regarding protection for raceways installed under metal-corrugated sheet roof decking has been expanded. The 2008 NEC introduced a requirement for the protection of most raceways when installed within 1½ in. of the underside of the roof deck. Although this 2008 rule change went a long way toward protecting wiring systems from damaging roofing screws that can penetrate the raceways, it left out one critical part of the installation — boxes. The 2011 revision corrects that and also clarifies that the measurement is to be made to the top of the cable, raceway, or box from the lowest surface of the roof decking (Fig. 1).
There would also be a concern if the existing conduit 110volt octagon box would be used for an incandescent light bulb and would effect the working ability of the heat detector installed within source distance of the device. Activation would occur creating false alarms and system could be affected by eddy currents or magnetic induction from the nearby electrical system mounted too close to the fire system.

Wolfgang Panofsky
Restrictions on scientific communication are nothing new—recall that Galileo was sentenced to house arrest by Church inquisitors in 1633 for supporting the Copernican theory. But serious threats to the freedom of scientific discourse have come to the forefront recently, after suspicions were raised of Chinese spying at U.S. national laboratories. These allegations triggered the imposition of new restraints and revived some old ones. So it is a good time for the scientific community to reflect on the evolution of such government controls in our time, to express support for regulations that are justified and to protest those that do harm.
After the outbreak of World War II, many physicists voluntarily censored themselves, with the result that papers about nuclear fission disappeared from the pages of the Physical Review starting in 1941. The government soon issued explicit restrictions on scientists and engineers privy to military secrets in the form of a classification system. Under that arrangement, information was labeled "Special Compartmentalized Information," "Top Secret," "Secret" or "Confidential," depending on the severity of damage to the nation should the material be compromised.
To accompany this system, government agencies introduced various levels of clearance. People seeking employment in organizations dealing with classified information or equipment surrendered some of their privacy by permitting a field investigator to talk about their past conduct with their neighbors and associates. In addition, inquiries into the subject's vulnerability to blackmail could be made, on the premise that such a liability might result from alcoholism, a drug habit or even money troubles. What is slightly more controversial—because it smacks of guilt by association—is the extent to which government investigators were allowed to inquire into people's political activities and, during the Cold War, their contacts with Communists or former Communists.
After the Cold War, it became much more difficult for government investigators to decide which associations were good and which were bad. I was once asked, for instance, as part of the renewal of my clearance, to submit copies of all my correspondence with my native country, Germany, which I left 61 years ago. The request turned out to apply to such a large pile that I was able to talk the investigators out of it. But even if investigators clear someone quickly and without hesitation, in the end, they have to make a leap of faith that the person will be loyal and responsible tomorrow as well as today.
Indeed, the clearance system is fundamentally based on trust, because, among other things, the cleared worker carries classified information in his or her head, something that cannot be censored. So it is imperative that a person given clearance play by the rules. Although certain security measures lessen the opportunity for misconduct, the system has had past failures: Aldrich Ames, John Walker and Ronald Pelton, for example, were all cleared. Yet they all succumbed to a desire for money and revealed military secrets to potential adversaries.
So classification and the accompanying clearance process have obvious shortcomings. But classification has worked reasonably well and is generally accepted as necessary and appropriate by the scientific community. In particular, it draws a well defined line between communications that are approved and those that are forbidden. But recent allegations of Chinese spying have brought on a worrisome shift in the nature of these governmental controls.

The trade accounts improved last month, with exports exceeding imports by $486 million.
It still left the balance for the year at $1.2 billion in deficit, as imports outstripped exports by 2.6 per cent.
That was advance on annual deficits of $1.4 billion in November and October, but a $2 billion deterioration from the $800 million trade surplus recorded in 2011.
Dairy export volumes improved last month for the second month in a row, following three months of decline, to be up 14 per cent on December 2011.
"However, if the dry conditions in the North Island persist, poor grass growing conditions and high feed costs could limit this season's production performance," ASB economist Jane Turner said.
Exports of manufactured goods were 11 per cent down on December 2011.
Imports were 10 per cent or $400 million lower than in December 2011, but almost all of the decline is explained by lower crude oil imports, which swing around on a monthly basis due to the timing of shipments, and a $175 million drop in imports of aircraft and parts.
Bank of New Zealand economist Doug Steel said that if you looked at the December quarter as a whole, removed the large one-off items and adjusted for exchange rate movements (a 7 per cent appreciation), imports were more than 7 per cent higher than a year ago.
"This suggests the economic recovery is continuing," he said.
Turner said that over the past year export performance had been mixed.
"The dairy sector has performed well, but largely from a volumes perspective owing to a good end to the previous season and a promising start to the current season," she said. "Dairy prices have come under pressure over the year, but we judge that they have now stabilised and should start to lift over the coming year."
Manufacturers, by contrast, had faced waning demand from Australia and the United States.
"We expect trading partner demand to pick up over the coming year. However, we also expect the New Zealand dollar to remain elevated, acting as a headwind for many exporters."
But with improving domestic demand likely to underpin stronger import growth, on balance ASB expects the growth in exports and imports to largely offset each other and for the trade balance to stabilise.
