Living Beautifully
with Uncertainty and ChangeWe live in difficult times. Life sometimes seems like a roiling and turbulent river threatening to drown us and destroy the world. Why, then, shouldn't we cling to the certainty of the shore—to our familiar patterns and habits? Because, Pema Chödrön teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more satisfying experience of being fully alive. The teachings she presents here—known as the "Three Commitments"—provide a wealth… Read More

Taking the Leap
Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and FearsIn this pithy, inspiring book, Pema Chödrön presents the Buddhist concept of shenpa, which can be translated as "getting stuck" or "getting hooked." Shenpa arises in that moment when life suddenly becomes disappointing, difficult, or painful. Perhaps someone criticizes your work, your appearance, or your child. Something within you tightens, shuts down. That's shenpa. After we tighten, we instinctively start to blame ourselves or others. We might get angry and… Read More

Press release no. 14/2011
07 July 2011
For 48% of European citizens, the right to move and reside freely in the European Union is the most important citizens' right. The second most important right is the right to good administration by the EU institutions (33%), followed by the right to lodge complaints with the European Ombudsman (32%). These are among the results of a Special Eurobarometer on citizens' rights and the performance of the EU administration, commissioned by the European Parliament and the Ombudsman and conducted by TNS Opinion & Social.
The European Ombudsman, P. Nikiforos Diamandouros, commented: "The citizens' right to move and reside freely in the EU is clearly one of the main achievements of European integration. The European Network of Ombudsmen has a key role to play in ensuring that citizens can exercise this right in practice. I am also encouraged to see that citizens consider the right to good administration and the right to lodge complaints with the European Ombudsman as very important. These responses strengthen the Ombudsman's role as a crucial link between European citizens and the EU administration."
85% lack sufficient information about the Charter of Fundamental Rights
72% of the respondents stated that they do not feel well informed about the Charter of Fundamental Rights. A further 13% have never even heard of the Charter.
42% not satisfied with transparency in the EU administration
According to the survey, 42% of European citizens are not satisfied with the level of transparency in the EU administration, while only 9% are satisfied. Their satisfaction with the effectiveness (35% not satisfied) and service mindedness (33% not satisfied) of the EU institutions is also low. However, the survey shows that the better people are informed about the EU, the more highly they rate the performance of the EU administration.
52% of respondents say the Ombudsman should ensure that citizens know their rights and how to use them
Asked about the role of the European Ombudsman, a majority of respondents (52%) thinks that he should inform citizens about their rights and how to use them, while 34% attach importance to the Ombudsman's cooperation with ombudsmen at the national and regional levels in the EU Member States, through the European Network of Ombudsmen.
The Ombudsman will use the results of the survey to enhance the quality of his own services, as well as encourage the EU administration to improve its performance, by deepening its commitment to the principles of a culture of service to citizens. He will also encourage members of the European Network of Ombudsmen to spread information in the Member States about citizens' rights and the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
For this Special Eurobarometer, TNS conducted face-to-face interviews with 27 000 citizens in the 27 EU Member States between February and March 2011.
The Ombudsman's synthesis of the Special Eurobarometer, the full Special Eurobarometer, and factsheets for each EU Member State are available at: http://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/en/press/statistics.faces

9AM Registration and check-in (Needham Chapel)

Please join us as we celebrate the incredible life of Nathan Harrington, an inspirational veteran, husband, father, son and Vanguard alumnus. Runners and walkers of all levels welcome. Enjoy a fun walk, jog or simply join the event to support the Harrington family!
Nathanael Harrington's '15 story is certainly not what he had originally planned. Nathan began his Vanguard experience as a freshman in the fall of 1998. He continued his studies until the spring of 2001. Following September 11th, he felt a call to serve in the military – just has his father had modeled for 20 years. He began serving as a Chaplain Assistant in the Army, but again his life took an unexpected turn. After only two years of service, Nathanael was diagnosed with Huntington's Disease, an incurable disease that causes breakdown of the nerves cells in the brain. He received an honorable discharge due to the diagnosis. In the midst of this painful season, he met his beautiful wife, and three boys who were 5, 4, and 2. They moved back to the Pacific Northwest, and welcomed a beautiful daughter.
In 2013, Nathan felt God was calling him back to Vanguard University to finish his degree. He and his family moved to Costa Mesa for 2 years while finishing his Bachelor's degree in Religion, with an emphasis in Pastoral Leadership. At the completion of his degree, Nathan and his family moved back to his home town of Clarkston, WA. His kids are now 15, 14, 12, and 8 and God continues to bless them in unexpected ways.
Join with alumni, friends, community members, and family as we support the Harrington family and celebrate Nathan. After the race, we'll have a celebration with FREE lunch*, a vendor fair, live music, and a kid's play area.
*Meal tickets only available with race registration.

#10 Two Eleven - Brandy
HNHH's Top R&B Albums Of 2012
This sixth studio album from Brandy is easily her best piece of work yet. Influenced by idol Whitney Houston's passing, Brandy personified her with mind-blowing vocals and a focused album that spawned album sales debuting Two Eleven at the top of the charts. Seeming to take influence from Frank Ocean (who ghostwrote "Scared Of Beautiful"), Drake, and Kanye West circa 808's & Heartbreak, Brandy gave her fans an absolute treat with this album. With real swagger to the poppy, club tracks, it's enjoyable to all and even the hardest of people will break down a little when listening to the gut-wrenching, soulful ballads Brandy has in store.
#9R.E.D - Ne-Yo
R.E.D seems to be Ne-Yo's first steps into the resurgence of his career. The album (which stands for Realizing Ever Dream) has Ne-Yo dabbling outside of R&B into soft rock ("Carry On"), euro dance ("Let Me Love You") and even country ("She Is") but even though he diverts, he comes back to his roots with dance bangers like "Shut Me Down." Ne-Yo's ability to blend well with previously thought foreign genres while sticking true to the tried and tested method serve him well as he releases a mixed album but one that's full of potential and will serve him well in the future.
#8Looking 4 Myself - Usher
It feels like Usher has been around for a really long time and with his seventh studio release, he justifies his longevity with yet another strong album. Usher decided to go outside his usual realm of pop by incorporating dub step, rock, soul, and electronic beats and samples in the album - a strange variation for the R&B singer but one he pulls off with apparent ease, creating crowd-pleasing favourites with each track. Usher seems to have evolved and that's what makes this album one of the best of the year, he's stepped his game up to a level where his usual fans won't tire of him and he can garner new ones too. Though the album sales didn't do as well as previous ones, it'll be remembered as Ushers first step into the unknown.
#7Unapologetic - Rihanna
Rihanna has had a tumultuously emotional year but ended it by being GQ's Sexiest Woman of the Year, getting the love of her life Chris Brown back, and releasing Unapologetic, a heartfelt, emotional album that resonates with you long after you've stopped listening. Even at the albums weak points, it isn't vulnerable, rather the production at times lets the track down with Rihanna's vocals and lyrics allowing you to delve into the pop stars heart. Selling over 200,000 copies in the first week, it wasn't just Ri Ri fans that ate her album up as word-of-mouth spread the albums catchiness. Don't act like you weren't bumping the "Diamonds" remix non-stop.
#6Trilogy - The Weeknd
The compilation album of Weeknds previous three free mix tapes, Trilogy might just be his best and most complete piece yet. Having three new tracks on it, the album arguably could be a game changer in R&B when looked back upon. The dark, nocturnal piece is at times hauntingly beautiful R&B. It's not so much his singing that does it, which does help, but the beats are just so perfect and on-point. If you didn't grab the tapes when they were free, this might be the better option as it's so poignantly nihilistic.
#5Kaleidoscope Dream - Miguel
Miguel used his second studio album, Kaleidoscope Dream, to portray what he has in his repertoire and show off his distinctive style. Featuring thick bass lines, heavy synthesizers, sounds that reverb, fade, and haunt you, Miguel incorporates R&B, pop, funk, rock, EDM, soul, and psychedelic to show he has more than one genre to offer. The album, which lyrically discusses your typical sexual and romantic themes, does tend to deviate from the R&B norm by delving into the existentialism of life. Definitely an album that might take you by surprise, don't be surprised when you jump on the Miguel bandwagon soon enough.
#41977 - The-Dream
Though The-Dream released 1977 for free in 2011, it finds itself being re-released on December 18th of this year. Apart from featuring two additional tracks in "AK47" and "Tender Tendencies," the album will retain its original line-up of tracks, which is what the public will want. 1977 strays far from The Dream's few solo pop smashes. Instead, it is a deeply personal and presumably therapeutic album, mainly dealing with his divorce from singer Christina Milian. It shows a bitter and angry Dream and he leaves no rock unturned. If you haven't picked up a copy already, do so immediately or wait for the anticipated re-release.
#3Chapter V - Trey Songz
Trey Songz dared to do something different on this album: he talked about what he can do for the women, instead of to the women. Though Chapter V wasn't as cohesive as it should've been, Trey's ability to bridge the gap between soft-core and hard-core in R&B is one he does with aplomb. He uses soft-core imagery and sweet nothings to detail hard-core scenes of pleasure or pain. Where other artists wouldn't be as bold and try to deviate from their usual sound, Trey is unafraid to stick to his usual sweet silky sound on his successful fifth studio album.
#2Fortune - Chris Brown
Maybe it was the incident with Rihanna, maybe it was the night-club brawl with Drake, whatever it was, Fortune wasn't the critically acclaimed hit that it was meant to be but that didn't matter to Chris Brown's legions of fans. Breezy stuck to his arrogant self on the album and rapped/sang about his love for women, the desires he wants to fulfill and created the quintessential R&B album. Getting into the top ten of the charts and debuting at one in the UK, Fortune wasn't a flop. Hate him or love him, Chris Brown still makes good music.
#1channel ORANGE - Frank Ocean
No one could have really doubted this. Frank Ocean had a monumental year, the apex of it being releasing arguably the album of the year in channel ORANGE. Creating a masterpiece record is no easy feat but its apparent, it came easy to the Odd Future member as he poured all his emotions out into an album that has changed the way listeners define R&B. Every track was a hit with "Super Rich Kids" appealing to rap fans with the Earl Sweatshirt verse; "Pilot Jones" hitting home for teens; "Pink Matter" reminding everyone to the greatness of Andre 3000; and the record of the year in "Pyramids" which seamlessly merged two songs in one. Frank Ocean created an album that will be cherished for years. He then went on to cap off this wonderful year by being nominated for six Grammy's.
Lyor Cohen Is Advising Kanye West & Launching Own Management Company
Former Warner Music CEO, Lyor Cohen has been rumored to be advising Kanye West, and is also launching his own management company.
With 2012 drawing to a close, HNHH decided to look back on the best R&B albums of the past year.
It was hard sifting through albums and debating on what actually categorized as R&B.With artists crossing genres constantly or including more than one in their album, it's hard to truly define their sound. Some were more obvious than others but after much discussion, HNHH has brought you what we think are the Ten Best R&B Albums of 2012.

2011 Gooding & Company
Ferrari began to build its 250 model in 1953. The car would be in production for a number of years and would emerge in a number of different guises. Over the course of the eleven year production run the different evolutions of the 250 would become the best-selling line for Ferrari in its early years of sports car manufacturing.
It would all begin with the 225S. These would serve as the prototype but would be quickly dispensed with by the larger 250. The 250S models would be entered in the Mille Miglia in 1952. And although the cars were slower in top end speed, their handling and stability in the curves would more than make up the difference and would lead to a victory for Giovanni Bracco and Alfonso Rolfo.
Enzo Ferrari was keen to capitalize on the success and would end up producing the 250MM and a number of other racing models. All of the success on the track would end up spilling over to the company's Grand Touring models.
As with the racing series of 250s, there would be a number of evolutions of the 250 GTs as well. Such evolutions included the 250 Europa GT, the 250 GT Berlinetta and the 250 GT Cabriolet Pinin Farina. But then, in 1957, Ferrari would introduce its latest evolution meant for export to America. It would be called the 250 GT California Spider.
There would be only 50 long-wheelbase California Spiders built. One of those would be presented for auction at the Gooding and Company Pebble Beach auctions in August of 2011.
The one presented at auction would be chassis 1215 GT and it would be constructed by Ferrari in February of 1959. Included in the design was a 3.0-liter Tipo 128 V-12 engine. The engine would be capable of producing 240 bhp with the help of three Weber DCL3 carburetors that also included velocity stacks. The chassis was the 508D and it featured improvements over the previous iterations of the 250.
While Ferrari was building the chassis for the car, Scaglietti was hard at work creating its truly magnificent, and yet, simple bodywork. The body and the chassis would be united and the car would be finished in March of 1959.
At the time of completion the car would be delivered with a dark blue finish and red leather interior to a real estate firm based in Rome. Rumors would abound as to who the actual owner of the car was. Many ideas and rumors were suggested. One of the more colorful suggested the car was actually for the Grimaldi family of Monaco.
By the late 1960s, the car had become the property of Garage Mario and Gastone Crepaldi Automobili S.a.s. This was an official Ferrari concessionaire in Milan. Finally, after almost ten years, the car meant for export to the United States would actually end up heading there. Fittingly, the car would be shipped to California.
Charles Betz would end up becoming the owner of the car. By the time Betz had taken delivery of the car the drum brakes had been replaced with the new disc brakes (which was not uncommon for the time). However, the car would still arrive in the finish it had left the factory.
Over the period of about ten years the car would change hands numerous times mostly amongst collectors and individuals around the Kentucky and Ohio areas. The car would even spend a spell in Georgia and Toronto, Canada. During its stay in Canada, the car would undergo restoration work and would reunite the original engine with the car that had been replaced at the time Betz had taken receivership of the car.
The car would again be sold a number of times and would end up in the hands of Lee Herrington of New Hampshire. The 250 GT California Spider would end up taking residence with a number of other Ferrari's from Herrington's fine collection. Under Herrington's ownership the car would be refinished to its current state of Fly Yellow complete with black leather interior.
Herrington would end up selling the car in 2008 to its current owner. Immediately the car was sent to Bob Smith for servicing and preparation.
Ferrari's usual mixture of performance and luxury, it is easy to understand why the 250 series became Ferrari's best-selling series of automobile from the late 1950s and through the most part of the 1960s. The elegance combined with the performance provides the street-goer with a truly incredible performance. The lovely lines, the spider design and raw performance; the 250 GT California Spider elegantly captured California's lifestyle and reputation.

The 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider with chassis number 1505 GT is the 36th of 50 built. It is a refined automobile that has a sophisticated chassis and engine. It has the improved 508 d chassis, a more developed version of the original 250 GT chassis introduced in 1954. The engine, a 128 D unit, internal number 0508 D, was the latest 250 variant, which features twin rear-mounted distributors, stronger connecting rods and a new crankshaft. The engine also has revised cylinder heads with new valves and later intake manifolds.
This 250 GT has a factory-supplied cold-air box and velocity stacks in lieu of the more restrictive air cleaners. This setup was designed to force cold air form the hood scoop directly into the carburetors and was featured on a very limited number of LWB California models (including 1203 GT, 1215 GT, 1307 GT, 1527 GT, and 1505 GT).
Another hallmark of 1505 GT as being one of the earliest California models factory equipped with Dunlop disc brakes.
In October 1959, 1505 GT was delivered to the official Swiss Ferrari concessionaire Georges Filipinetti's Garage Montchoisy SA in Geneva. It was exported to the United States sometime during the 1960s, and by 1970 it had come into the care of Sidney J. Simpson of Bellaire, Texas. In 1984, Everett Anton Singer of Laurel Hollow, New York, acquired the car. In September of 1985, it was sold to Bob Marceca of North Salem, New York. At this point in the car's history, it had traveled just 56,950 original kilometers.
In the late 1980s, Bill Pound Automotive of San Diego, California, carried out a comprehensive restoration. It was stripped to bare metal and repainted in white. The interior was upholstered in Magnolia hides, a white top was fashioned and the various mechanical systems were restored as needed.
While undergoing restoration, the California was sold to a German collector named Wolfgang von Schmieder.
On December 4, 1989, the freshly restored California Spider returned to Switzerland.
During Mr. von Schmieder's ownership, the California was maintained at Garage Symbol. For some time it was displayed at Geneva's Musee de l'Automobile. In May 1997, Ferrari invited 1505 GT to participate in the company's 50th Anniversary meeting in Italy. Co-driven by Mr. von Schmieder and Kuno Schar, then President of the Ferrari Owners Club Switzerland, the California successfully completed the trip to Rome and Modena before returning home to Geneva.
In 2002, the car was sold to British collector Andrew Pisker. A short time later, the interior was completely reupholstered in dark blue leather and a new top was made to match. In the summer of 2004, Mr. Pisker participated in the California Dreaming event held in St. Tropez and later displayed 1505 GT at the Louis Vuitton Classic Concours d'Elegance at Waddesdon Manor.
The most recent caretaker displayed the car at the 2011 Quail Motorsports gathering in Carmel Valley, CA.
The car retains its original chassis, engine, brakes and bodywork. The only non-matching components is the gearbox; however this is an original 250 unit and correct for the car.
This 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider with coachwork by Scaglietti is offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Scottsdale, Az. It has an estimated value of $3,400,000 - $3,800,000.

This is an Ex-Scuderia Ferrari Factory car delivered to Wolfgang Seidel, Scuderia Ferrari's team driver. Fitted with a competition engine with a high 9.3:1 compression ratio, 'Abarth competition' exhaust system and 'Nardi Competition' steering, Siegel competed in numerous hill climbs in and around Germany. Won 'First Class' honors at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 1991. Received the Platinum award at the 1999 Cavalino Classics.
The car was completed at the Ferrari factory on September 19th of 1959. It was sent to its first owner, Prince Vittorio Emanuele de Savoia, son of the last Italian king, Umberto II, and pretender to the throne of Italy, then living in Geneva, Switzerland.
The car remained in the princes ownership for the next three years. It was purchased by the German sports car and Formula one driver Wolfgang Seidel, winner of the 1959 Targa Florio with Edgar Barth. During the mid-1960s, it was owned by Dr. Hans Hardt in Germany. In the late 1960s, it made its way to North America. Mark Smith learned about the vehicle through an advertisement in
Hemmings Motor News
, when the Ferrari was owned by Ms. Ellis Willoughby Little of New Hampshire. The car had been purchased by Ms. Willoughby Little through Chinetti. While at Chinetti, the car was fitted with an outside plug 250 motor, as the original inside plug motor had been removed and replaced with a small-block Chevy engine.
Smith was able to locate the original 1489 engine block as well as a few of the original bearing caps. Additional spares were sourced from engine 1487. Smith treated the car to a meticulous restoration at the Ferrari shop of Bob Smith in Gainesville, Texas. At the time, the car was converted to its present, desirable covered-headlight configuration and given the livery of black with a red stripe and red leather interior. The restoration was completed in 1991, and it earned a First in Class at the Ferrari Club of America (FCA) Annual Meet in Washington, DC.
The car was sold to Anthony Wang, joining his extensive and impressive collection of Ferraris. While in Wang's care, the car was shown at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August of 1991 where it won First in Class. That same year, it was driven on the Colorado Grand.
In 1998, the car was sold to Richard Sirota. It was shown at the 1999 Cavallino Classic where it earned a Platinum award. Also that year, it was driven on the Colorado Grand. The car then went through two more impressive collections, both from Japan, before entering into the care of its present owner. It was shown at 'The Quail' in Carmel Valley later that year, then driven in the Colorado Grand in 2006 and 2007.
In 2008, this 250 GT LWB California Spider was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, CA. As the gavel fell for the third and final time, the car had been sold for $3,630,000, including buyer's premium.

Ferrari's first cars were open cars mostly used for sports racing. These were followed by single seaters for Formula events. The convertible bodied car theme would continue in the Ferrari arsenal at the GT level for years to come.
Luigi Chinetti and Johnny von Neumann, a California resident, were the individuals responsible for the designation 'California' on a Ferrari. The California region offered plenty of opportunity for open-air cruising, had good roads, an emerging prosperity, and a beautiful climate. The design was created by Pinin Farina with the shape and fabrication performed at the Renaissance craft shop of Sergio Scaglietti.
Chassis number 0769GT was the first California Spyder and was created in the later part of 1957. 0769GT is often considered a transitional car from the prior cabriolet production to the new Spyder bodied cars. As production continued, there evolved two distinct series of the California, built between 1958 and 1962 with total production reach 105 units. The first series had a wheelbase that measured 2600mm and are often considered 'LWB' (Long Wheel Base) models. A total of 51 examples of the LWB versions were created with nine being alloy-bodied competition models. 54 examples of the second series were produced, all resting on a wheelbase that measured 2400mm.
This vehicle has chassis number 1431GT, engine number 1431GT, transmission number 223-D, and rear axle number 465. It is the 28th long wheelbase ever constructed and is equipped with many early, rare, and desirable features. It has the Type 128D variation of the three-liter Colombo V12 engine and was the last Cal Spyder example fitted with this engine type. The D-Series engine were the last with the inboard spark plug location where the plugs are positioned along the inside of the cylidner head. The rear axle and transmission are the Type 508D. The rear axle is fitted with an 8x34 ring and pinion resulting in a 4.25:1 gear ratio and better acceleration.
When this car left the Ferrari factory as a rolling chassis to receive its Scaglietti coachwork, it was fitted with a temporary engine and gearbox. It was sent to Scaglietti on May 6th of 1959. On July 29th it was assembled with the correct Type 128D engine. The car was then fitted with many features including a German ZF steering gearbox with 20:1 turning ratio, a 90-liter capacity fuel tank, Abarth exhaust system, and a cooling system with a thermostat. There are covered headlights, classic wood rim Nardi steering wheel, Borrani RW 3264 chromed wire wheels, and instruments in 'Miglia' or miles, meaning this was meant for export to the United States.
It was sent to Luigi Chinetti in 1959 and later sold to Robert Bodin of New York. At some point it was in the care of Allen M. Woodall of Columbus Georgia. During the 1980s the car was treated to an extensive restoration where it was painted in red and had a tan interior. In the very early 1990s the car was offered for sale by Ron Spangler's Prancing Horse Farm for $2.4 million. David Frankel took possession of the car around 1993. It was purchased by William Jacobs in 1994 and shown at the Cavallino Classic in 1995. David Smith of Medina, Wa was the vehicles next owner in 1997.
Another restoration began in 1997 and when completed, was painted in black paint with a matching leather interior. After the restoration it was shown at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance where it won a first in class in the Ferrari category. Other awards include a first in class at the Ferrari National Meet in Toronto.
John Mozart of Palo Alto, CA was the vehicles next care-taker. In August of 2007 it was brought to the Gooding & Company Pebble Beach Auction where it fetched an impressive $4.45 million including buyer's premium.
It was shown at the 2008 Cavallino Classic.

The Ferrari California Spider was designed and marketed as a multi-purpose sports car capable of racing and equally suitable for grand touring. With a lightweight aluminum body and tuned engine, it could function as a serious racing car. In this guise, just nine LWB California Spiders were original constructed with alloy coachwork, and of those, just a few left the factory with competition features. The alloy-bodied Spiders were produced on a one-off basis throughout the 50-car production run, and no two examples are exactly alike. The nine examples display many differences, both aesthetically and mechanically.
Without direct factory support and despite their limited production, the California Spider Competiziones achieved impressive results. From 1959 to 1961, alloy-bodied California Spiders won their class at major events (Sebring, Bridgehampton, Nassau, and Watkins Glen) and dominated the SCCA's B and C Production classes.
This 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spyder Competizione features an alloy body and left hand drive configuration. It was created on November 23rd of 1959 and is the 42nd example created. It is powered by a Type 168 engine mated to a Tipo 508C/525 gearbox. This engine was the same unit found in the Competition SWB Berlinettas, and was a development of Ferrari's 250 Testa Rossa sports racing cars and was installed in just four LWB California Spiders. The engine in 1603 GT was factory-equipped with Testa Rossa-type cylinder heads, featuring high-lift Tipo 130 camshafts and 9.8:1. It was fitted with three Weber 40 DCL6 carburetors with velocity stacks and an Abarth competition exhaust. In comparison to the standard LWB California Spider, this example produces approximately 50 more horsepower.
1603 GT was given lightweight aluminum coachwork by Carrozzeria Scaglietti in Modena and features the covered-headlight arrangement.
It was first owned by George Reed of Midlothian, IL via Chinetti Motors. Reed campaigned it during the remainder of the 1959 season through 1961. It raced in the Tourist Trophy, 12 Hours of Sebring, Governor's Trophy, Nassau Trophy and at Road America. At the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1960, the car was driven by Reed and Alan Connell to 5th overall, and third in class.
At the close of the 1964 season, Reed sold the Ferrari to a resident of Kenosha, Wisconsin. Ed Zwintscher of Wisconsin acquired the car around 1969. In 1984, Brian Brunkhorst acquired 1603 GT and sent it to Wayne Obry's Motion Products Inc. in Neenah, Wisconsin for a full restoration. The car was then finished in dark blue with a tan interior.
In 1989, Mr. Brunkhorst displayed the California at the 25th Ferrari Club of America annual meeting, where it received a First in Class award. It was later shown at the Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance. In the 1990s, the car was sold to Michael Mak, who traded it to Dennis Machul for another significant Ferrari in 2000. The following year, Todd Morici acquired 1603 GT, and he campaigned it in several vintage races before refinishing the car in its original Sebring livery. While in Mr. Morici's ownership, the car was certified by the Ferrari Classiche Department, which confirmed it as an authentic example, retaining its original chassis, body, engine, gearbox, rear end, and other major components.
The current owner acquired the car in 2010 and immediately set about performing a selective cosmetic restoration. Completed in January 2011, the California Spider was displayed at the annual Palm Beach Cavallino Classic, where it earned an FCA Platinum Award and the Competizione Cup for the most outstanding competition Ferrari.

Ordered new and driven from the factory to LeMans by Bob Grossman, 451 GT placed 5th overall and first in class at LeMans in 1959 with co-driver Fernand Travano. Mr. Grossman continued to campaign the car in 1959 and 1960 with great success in SCCA competition. Since its restoration in 1983, S/N 1451 GT has won first in class at concours events including Pebble Beach in 1983 and 1994.
One of nine alloy bodied Competition Spyders, it was delivered new with the first Tipo 128F 'outside plug' motor with 250 Testarossa camshafts, 40 DCL6 Weber carburetors, oil cooler, special suspension, and a tall 3.55 drive ratio.
This 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Spyder California Competizione is chassis number 1451GT and the ex-Bob Grossman car. It has remained in the same care for the past twenty-six years and is one of only seven original alloy-bodied examples constructed. It was driven by Bob Grossman to a fifth overall and First in Class at the 1959 24 Hours of LeMans.
Pininfarina was tasked with creating an open-top car based on the chassis of the 250 GT TdF. It was dubbed the Spyder California and intended for the US market, more specifically the sun belt regions of the US. Production began in 1958 with eleven examples built by the time it became its own model in December of 1958. One of the early examples was entered by Luigi Chinetti's NART at Sebring in 1959. The car was driven by Richie Ginther and Howard Hively and finished in ninth overall, but won its GT class.
Grossman was an aspiring singer in Nyack, New York who started selling cars after the Second World War to finance voice lessons. Within a short period of time he had franchises for Jaguar, Volkswagen, and Alfa Romeo. He even raced a XK120 at area events with much success. By 1958 he had earned the SCCA G Production national title while driving an Alfa Giulietta veloce.
He had a long-wheelbase Spyder California which was having trouble beating Corvette's in SCCA competition. He asked Chinetti for help, and the result was 1451 GT.
There were a total of 51 LWB Spyder California's created and only nine were alloy-bodied competition models. This example was created by Ferrari as a rolling chassis and then sent to Sergio Scaglietti's workshop on May 18th of 1959. Upon completion, it was brought to LeMans. The car featured Testa Rossa cams with larger 40DCL6 carburetors and various other enhancements bringing the horsepower to 262. It was given an upgraded suspension, larger fuel tan with filler cap through the trunk lid, a 3.55:1 final drive ratio, and an oil cooler within the radiator.
At LeMans the car was driven by Grossman and co-driven by Fernando Tavano. It finished fifth overall and third in the GT class. Not bad for its first outing. After the race the car was sent back to Ferrari for final completion which including the finishing of the interior and being given a final paint job in metallic silver.
It was then sent to the US where it was raced the remainder of the season resulting in a first place at SCCA National races at Montgomery, New York. In September he blew the engine at Watkins Glen. A replacement engine was fitted and he continued to race in 1959 and 1960. Near the close of the 1960s, the SCCA found out about the factory modifications made to the car and he was warned not to enter any more club events. Soon after, the 250 GT Short-Wheelbase Competition Berlinettas became available, so Grossman sold 1451 GT and began racing in the 250 GT SWB Comp.
The car's history for the next twenty years is not fully known. It was owned by a banker in Maryland, later owned by another individual in Florida, and later found by a West Palm Beach Porsche dealer. The car was sold to a VSCCA member from New Jersey who brought it back up north.
In 1981 the car came into its current caretaker, who brought the car to the 2007 Monterey Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by RM Auctions, where it was one of the highlights of the event. The car has been treated to a two-year restoration finished in Ferrari red with tan interior.
It was brought to the Pebble Beach Concours in August of 1983 where it placed First in Class. It was awarded the Phil Hill award for Best in Show at the 1984 Ferrari Club of America National Meet. From there, the list of accomplishment and awards continue, including a first place at Meadow Brook and a repeat appearance at the 1994 Pebble Beach Concours. It has been raced in vintage events including the Colorado Grand, the Shell/Ferrari Challenge, and the Laguna Seca Historic Races.
It is one of the most important of all the surviving Spyder California's, a rare car that has a racing history that including a visit to LeMans. Its importance was evident at the RM Auctions as bidding was fierce. A high bid of 4,950,000 including buyer's premium was enough to secure new ownership, and was among the top sellers of the night.

Chassis number 1425 GT was sold to its first owner, Mrs. Livia Mustica of Naples, on July 30, 1959. It remained in her care for nearly a decade until July 1968 when it was sold to its second owner, Guido Palermo, also of Naples. In late 1968 or early 1969, the car was sold to Tom Meade. Soon after acquiring the car, Meade refinished the Ferrari in red lacquer and updated the original Scaglietti coachwork with covered headlights.
Jack Castor became the car's next owner, having it shipped in August of 1969 from Genova to San Francisco aboard the SS Paolo d'Amico. During transportation, the windshield was broken. He traveled to Modena in 1972 and brought the windshield frame to Scaglietti for repair and purchased a spare, which was then shipped back to his home in California.
The car was used by Mr. Castor until 1979 or 1980, when he retired it from the road. For the next 25 years, it sat idle while Mr. Castor amassed an eclectic collection comprised of bicycles, gasoline pumps, various antiques, and nearly 20 classic cars. 1425 GT, although in storage, remained Mr. Castor's prized possession.
In the mid-2000s, Jack had the serviced in preparation for returning to the road. Jack used the 250 GT until his recent passing. Each August he made the trip from his home in Half Moon Bay to Pebble Beach to enjoy the Monterey classic car events.
Chassis 1425 GT has never warranted a full restoration. It has been maintained as required and has remained in Mr. Castor's care for over 45 years. It wears its late 1960s red paint and original black leather upholstery.

Unique in many facets, 1307GT remains perhaps the most eclectic and highly-desirable example of the already illustrious Ferrari 250GT California models. Nose to tail, there are many details that set this example apart, and therefore, perhaps the most iconic.
The 23rd of the 50 LWB California Spiders built by Ferrari, the chassis would be completed in March of 1959 and would be delivered to its first owner, Prince Alvise Hercolani of Bologna, a short time later.
There are California Spiders and then there is this one. To begin with, the car sports open highlights, which was a aesthetic touch that had been employed on many of the spiders that had seen competition in sports car races as the open design offered better visibility.
Then there are the Superamerica-inspired front fender vents. This feature was not something usually employed on the California Spiders but would be a design element employed on this particular example, right along with the inset air intake and a very beguiling hardtop that strikes a remarkable contrast today when fitted atop the dark blue body it now bears.
Compared to other California Spiders, this particular example would not settle for what has to be regarded as extraordinary 'standard' features. This would include the heart beating under the hood as well. Factory-fitted velocity stacks would be installed with triple Weber carburetors to give this car ample amounts of airflow to the 3.0-liter Colombo designed V12 engine. What's more, details, such as the ignition switch, and other controls, would not be situated on the dashboard, as was the usual custom for the California Spiders. Instead, these elements would be repositioned to the transmission tunnel directly below the dashboard.
Hercolani would only own the car for a period of about six months before selling the car to the German racer, Wolfgang Seidel. Seidel would be one of those German racers that would take full advantage of the Formula 2 regulations that controlled Formula One throughout 1952 and 1953. Competing with a Veritas RS, Wolfgang would make his Formula One debut at the Nurburgring in 1953. Throughout the remainder of the 1950s, and into the early 1960s, he would continue to make appearances here and there in Formula One events.
In reality, Seidel would become better known for his presence in sports car races. He would compete in more than a hundred sportscar races throughout his career and those starts would include the Mille Miglia, the Spa 24 Hours, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and, of course, the 1000 Kilometers of the Nurburgring.
Seidel would often compete in Porsches, but 1307GT would also see some track time including races in Germany, Belgium and in other locations.
Right up through 1961 the Ferrari would remain with Seidel. However, he would soon sell the car and it would end up in the hands of William Morgan, an American who happened to live in Wiesbaden, Germany at the time.
Morgan would thoroughly love the car and the freedom and class it afforded its owner. He would often take long trips with his wife, from Germany to Marseille, a trip around Corsica and then a jaunt from Switzerland to Modena, Italy.
Following a couple more years in Europe, Morgan would have the car shipped across the globe to Pleasant Hills, California, and then later, Scottsdale, Arizona where it would soon be found offered for sale.
Ed Niles would be well known as an attorney based in Los Angeles. However, Niles also had a passion for Ferraris and was an astute historian of the marque. In September of 1966, Niles would purchase the California Spider. Almost immediately, he would have the car refinished in a dark red. This would be completed in time for Niles to enjoy the car for about a year before he too decided to sell the car.
After being exchanged between a number of owners over its first decade of life, 1307GT would soon find a steady home with Jim Swartout of Lake Forest, Illinois.
Swartout would purchase the Ferrari in November of 1968 while just 29 years of age and still attending college. Nevertheless, Jim would not purchase the car on a whim, this would be demonstrated by the 30 years in which the car would remain in his care.
Looking to retire from his dental business, Swartout would make the incredible decision to part with his California, and, in 1999, the car would be sold to Jonas Linden of Stocksund, Sweden. Once in his possession, the car would undergo a full restoration completed by Carrozzeria Autosport Bacchelli & Villa situated in Bastiglia, Italy.
In June of 2001, the car would make its first appearance following the restoration efforts. the result would be California Spider that many others just had to own.
Joe Hayes would be the next fortunate owner. He would come to own the car in 2003. Despite the high originality of the car, Hayes would recognize just what he had on his hands. He owned a grand tourer and he would treat it as such using the car to participate in the Texas 1000 and New England 1000 rallies.
Some time following the rallies, the car would be stripped and refinished to the same dark blue body and silver top it sported when Seidel owned the car. Following this return to the striking livery of Seidel's tenure, the car would be shown at the 2005 Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance. The car would certainly turn many heads and this would lead to, three years later, being shown at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance as part of a special California Spider class.
Hayes had invested more than $100,000 to ensure this California Spider remained one of the best examples of the breed for years to come. Ferrari Classiche certification would inspire the art collector, Adam Lindenmann to purchase the car in 2011, who would then turn around in late 2013 to sell the car to Jean-Claude Biver of Switzerland.
Following another restoration effort by Garage Alberto Donati, 1307GT has been made available for purchase once again. Offered as part of RM Auctions' 2015 Monterey event, listed as one the auction house's entries in its Pinnacle Portfolio, the 1959 Ferrari 250GT California Spider, chassis 1307GT, would sport estimates ranging from between $9,000,000 and $11,000,000, making the car, potentially, one of the most valuable examples of what is considered the pinnacle of Ferrari's genius.

Production of the 250 Series began in 1954 and continued on through the early part of the 1960's. There were numerous variations of the 250 and would ultimately become Ferrari's most successful line of vehicles to date. The 250 is also recognized as the first Ferrari to ever receive disc brakes. This did not take place until the end of the 1950's. Also, the 250 was the first four-seater.
Ferrari's were custom built cars. They were not mass-produced. Ferrari provided the engine and chassis while Italian coach builders provided the body. This meant the specifications varied. Engines also varied in horsepower rating, torque, and displacement. This was no different for the 250 GT which saw many different variations in body style and body types.
Ferrari built the road-going Ferrari's to fuel his passion for racing. Many of the vehicles he built for the road had a competition model. That is, a modified version of the road-going model. An example of this was the 1959 short-wheel base (SWB) Berlinetta (Berlinetta which means coupe) and given an aluminum body. It was debuted in October 1959 at the Paris Salon. GT cars were road-legal vehicles that could also be taken to the track and compete without the need for modifications. Although this was their purpose, Ferrari realized that many customers would not race their vehicle, but rather wanted the power and performance that sports cars offered. To comply, Ferrari built these cars to be powerful and luxurious. The vehicles could still be run on the track, mostly on requiring the adoption of stickers and complying with any safety requirements.
The 250 road-going vehicles mostly shared two wheelbase sizes, a 2400 mm and 2600 mm. The 2400 wheelbase were referred to as the SWB (Short wheel base) while the other was the LWB (long wheel base).
The base engine was a Colombo 60-degree, single-over-head cam, 'vee' type 12-cylinder, with aluminum alloy block and heads, and cast-iron cylinder liners. The displacement was 180 cubic inch (2953 cc). Horsepower production was around 220-260. The front suspension was independent with double wishbones and coil springs. The rear suspension was a live axle.
The first 250 introduced was the
and available in either berlinetta or spider configuration. Introduced in 1952, they were powered by a 3-liter Colombo engine producing about 230 horsepower.
At the 1953 Paris Motor Show, Ferrari introduced the
250 Europa and Export
. These were the only models in the series that were powered by a Lampredi v-12 engine also seen in Formula 1. The 250 Export had a 2400 MM wheelbase, similar tot he 250 MM. The 250 Europa had a larger, 2800 mm wheelbase which allowed more interior room. During their short production lifespan, only 18 examples were produced. Pininfarina and Vignale were tasked with creating the coachwork.
In 1954 four specialty built
250 Monza
were built for racing. They shared many similarities with the 750 Monza's, but were equipped with the 3-liter Colombo engine.
At the 1957 Geneva auto show, Ferrari displayed their
250 GT Cabriolet
. Coachwork was courtesy of Pininfarina; the wheelbase was 2600 mm in size. In 1959 the second in the 250 GT Cabriolet series production began after only 36 examples being produced.
From 1957 through 1959 Ferrari produced the
250 GT Berlinetta 'Tour de France'
(TdF). The name had been given for the 10-day automobile race. Originally the engine produced 240 horsepower but was later modified to 260 horsepower. Carrozzeria Scaglietti was responsible for creating the bodies based on Pinin Farina's design.
Scaglietti was responsible for constructing the 1957
250 GT California Spyder
. These sat atop a long, 2600 mm chassis and aluminum was used throughout the body in efforts to reduce the overall weight. In total, around 45 examples were created before they were replaced by the SWB version in 1960.
There were 250 examples of the
250 GT Berlinetta SWB
produced. Production began in 1959 and used the shortened, sportier wheelbase. Giotto Bizzarrini, Carlo Chiti, and Mauro Forghieri were responsible for the development. Some were built for racing while others were meant for daily transportation. Horsepower ranged from 240 to 280. Steel or aluminum bodies were used. The steel bodies were suited for the road-going vehicles, also known as Lusso. The racing trim vehicles were powerful and had low weight. They were vary competitive and are regarded as the most important GT racers of its time. In 1961 the SWB Berlinetta captured the GT class of the Constructor's Championship.
In 1960 a Scaglietti 250 GT Spyder California SWB was shown at the Geneva Motor Show. Built as a replacement for the LWB and based on the 250 GT SWB, around 55 examples were produced.
Ferrari 250TR
was produced from 1957 through 1958 during which only 19 examples were created. The 'pontoon' fender body was designed by Scaglietti and the power was supplied through a Colombo 12-cylinder engine mounted at a sixty-degree angle and outfitted with six Weber 38 DCN carburetors. Power was sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. With 300 horsepower, the 800 kg vehicle was able to achieve a 168 mph top speed. From 1958 through 1961, the 250 TR was entered in 19 championship races where they emerged victorious ten times.
The 250 in 250 TR represented the unitary displacement while the TR was an acronym meaning Testa Rossa. Testa Rossa translates to 'red head' which referred to the color of the engine's cylinder head.
The 250 TR series was built to capture the world championship which was experience questionable times. During the 1955 24 Hours of Lemans a fatal accident occurred and the Commissione Sportiva Internazionale (CSI) began investigating ways to make the sport safer for the drivers and the spectators. Their efforts were escalated in 1967 when another fatal accident occurred at the 1957 Mille Miglia. The committee decided upon a displacement limit but they were in disagreement on the size; the proposed figures ranged from 3 to around 3.5 liters.
1958 was the introductory year for the new regulations, which had been announced during the later part of 1957. Ferrari had been building, testing, and racing the 250 GT which had performed well during the 1957 Mille Miglia. The Colombo V12 260 horsepower engine received a larger bore, camshaft, and other improvements resulting in a 3.1 liter displacement and 320 horsepower. Testing continued throughout the 1957 season in both body configuration and mechanical components.
Ferrari had anticipated the new engine size regulations and thus had been sufficiently prepared to capture the world championship. Due to the potential of negative publicity caused by the fatal accidents, other manufacturers, such as Aston Martin, Lotus, Cooper and Jaguar, were hesitant to continue racing. Ferrari believed their closest competitor would be the powerful and technologically advanced Maserati 450 S which featured a quad-cam eight-cylinder engine.
Ferrari quickly began capturing victories during the 1958 season. The 250 TR was a solid vehicle thanks to the preparation and testing. The steel tubular ladder frame was of traditional Ferrari construction; a DeDion rear axle was used on the works racers. Customer cars were outfitted with a live axle. Drum brakes were placed on all four corners of the car. The engine had been modified to comply with regulations and to fit in the engine bay. In reality, the vehicle was an outdated car having only the benefit of proper planning and proven technology. Most cars featured disc brakes which provided superior stopping power. The Colombo engine dated back to the beginning of Ferrari and was antiquated in comparison to the modern power-plants.
Nearing the close of the 1958 season, the competition began to rise. Aston Martin had a lethal combination, a 3 liter DBR1 racer and Stirling Moss as the driver. Even though the Aston Martins did score a victory at Nurburgring 1000 KM, Ferrari was able to capture the World Championship. The legendary Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien easily capture a third victory for Ferrari at the grueling 24 Hours of Lemans. The 250 TR works cars were referred to as TR58, to distinguish them from the customer TRs.
For the 1959 season, the vehicles received slight modifications which made the vehicle lighter and more powerful. The big news was the use of Dunlop disc brakes. The engine received coil valve springs and the horsepower increased slightly to 306. A Colotti designed five speed gearbox replaced the four-speed unit. Pininfarina was tasked with designing a new body and the construction was handled by Fantuzzi. As a result of the improvements, the name was changed to TR59. At their inaugural race, the TR59 finished first and second. This streak did not last and at the end of the season, it was Aston Martin who emerged as the world champion. The TR59 was plagued with reliability issues mostly due to the gearbox. The vehicles were forced to retire early from races, including Le Mans.
For the 1960 season, the TR was modified slightly to comply with new regulations and to rectify the transmission issues. These vehicles are commonly referred to as the TR59/60. Aston Martin had withdrawn from the championship which left no factory opposition for Ferrari. Porsche and Maserati provided competition, especially at Targa Florio and the Nurburgring 1000 km where they scored victories. At Le Mans, Ferrari finished first and second and captured the word championship, beating Porsche by only four points.
For the 1961 season, Ferrari introduced the mid-engined 246 SP. The TRI61 was given a new spaceframe chassis and was able to capture victories at Sebring 12 Hours and Le Mans. With victories between the 246 SP and the TRI61, Ferrari once again captured the world championship.
The CSI implemented stricter rules for the 1962 season which meant the TR was unable to score points for the factory. It was still allowed to race for the overall victory.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Ohio | Last updated 10/4/12
CLEVELAND -- Looking for something dramatic from the Cleveland Indians this offseason as they try to rebound from a 68-win season? General Manager Chris Antonetti said it's already started. "In my view we've made a significant change," Antonetti said Thursday at the post-mortem to 2012. "We're changing one of the leadership positions within the organization. That's a pretty dramatic step." That change would be with the manager, and it might buy the Indians a little bit of credibility, because the team is focused on hiring either uber-popular former player Sandy Alomar or Terry Francona, who won two World Series as manager of the Red Sox. After that, there's a lot of work to do for the front office and new manager. Because the brightest managers lose smarts if the talent is lacking. And the Indians have lost 93 or more games in three of the last four years. Antonetti talked about improving the starting rotation -- ERA: 5.25 -- and looking for position help, presumably in left field and first base. He said Shin-Soo Choo should be a member of the Indians in 2013 even though it's his free agent year, and said he feels Chris Perez will be a long-term member of the team even with his inflammatory off-field remarks. He also said the Indians have a young core up the middle on which to build consisting of catcher Carlos Santana, second baseman Jason Kipnis, shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera and center fielder Michael Brantley. Third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall also could be included, though he's not technically up the middle. "That's a good foundation from which to build," Antonetti said. "We now need to complement that group, but it's a good starting point." Call it Indians-speak, but Antonetti pointed out the Indians competed for two-thirds of two seasons with this core, and he hopes it can happen again. But he sounded baffled in trying to explain why the team collapsed after beating Justin Verlander on July 26. From that point the Indians went 18-45. "I don't think there's one single reason as to why we struggled the way we did," he said. "I think the one thing we all feel is we have better talent than our record shows." There's a strong feeling in some corners of the sports world that a team reflects its record. A 60-win team is just that, because over the long haul weaknesses are exposed. Antonetti called the Indians fall dramatic, sudden and surprising. And he did not think that the team gave up after no move was made at the trade deadline. "There were a lot of other teams in baseball, including many of the teams that competed all the way to the end of the season, that didn't make moves at the trade deadline," Antonetti said. "I'm not sure ascribing too much to that would explain what happened to us in the second half." Antonetti said he did not think it was fair to blame Manny Acta for the collapse, but he was fired. And Antonetti is interviewing a guy who managed a team that fell apart in the final month in Boston in 2011. "I wouldn't want what happened over the past two and a half months or two months to completely mask some of the positives with our team, with our roster and within the organization," Antonetti said. "Because there are a lot of positives." Antonetti addressed several other players and issues: --On whether decreased attendance in 12 will affect his ability to add players in 13: "We're still working through that." He did say he did not believe economics would affect the ability to hire Francona, if that's the team's choice. --On Perez's public comments that were critical of the front office and the fans: "I appreciate his candor when it's behind closed doors. I think everyone would be best served if he chose his words more carefully. But I want guys on my team who care as much as Chris Perez does about winning." --On whether it's really possible the Indians would bring back Grady Sizemore and Travis Hafner: "It's possible. I think the level of investment would be very different than it's been in the past." --On Matt LaPorta, who is out of options: "It's obviously an important offseason for him because he's going to have come to spring training and win a job." --On how much the failed CC Sabathia, Cliff Lee and Ubaldo Jimenez trades factor in to the team's present situation: "It's a culmination of things. But it's a process. There have been some trades that have worked out. There have been some drafts that have worked out. There have been others that haven't. That's the nature of our job. We make a lot of those decisions. some will work out, some won't. I think our job is to try to make more of them work out than not. I think if you look at the composition of our roster -- and it's important to always look at context -- and how teams generally do in trades, I think we've done relatively well. Carlos Santana, Asdrubal Cabrera, Shin-Soo Choo, Chris Perez, Justin Masterson. That's a pretty good return from some trades that we've made over the past six or seven years. And Michael Brantley."

NEW BRUNSWICK/PISCATAWAY , N.J. – Rutgers scientists have deciphered the complex mechanics of microcin J25 (MccJ25), a tiny, natural molecule that acts like a cork in a bottle to block a key bacterial enzyme – potentially leading to a new generation of antibiotics.
Two teams of researchers at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, discovered independently that MccJ25 uniquely blocks a "tunnel" into the bacterial enzyme, RNA polymerase (RNAP). The "tunnel" is used to bring raw materials for RNA synthesis into the enzyme and to expel byproducts of RNA synthesis.
"Closing the crowded, two-way 'tunnel' starves RNAP, shuts it down and kills the bacteria," said Richard H. Ebright, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, and a professor in Rutgers' department of chemistry and chemical biology and the Waksman Institute of Microbiology. "Understanding the way in which MccJ25 works sets the stage for the development of novel antibacterial drug designs."
To understand how MccJ25 works, Ebright's group used genetic methods to test hundreds of thousands of RNAP derivatives, or variants, in order to define the binding sites for MccJ25 on RNAP. The researchers also used biophysical methods, attaching fluorescent tags to MccJ25 and to each of a dozen sites in RNAP. Using the tags, the researchers gauged the position of each bound pair in a GPS-like manner, verifying the results of the genetic work. They then used biochemical methods to find out what happened once MccJ25 binds to the RNAP.
The research team of Konstantin Severinov, an associate professor in Rutgers' department of molecular biology and biochemistry and the Waksman Institute, had been the first to demonstrate that RNAP from cells resistant to MccJ25 also showed resistance to the drug in a test tube. In their current work, these researchers used biochemical methods to characterize, in molecular detail, the mechanism of MccJ25 action. In addition, the group used sophisticated biophysical methods that revealed how MccJ25 binds to a single RNAP molecule, stopping it instantaneously.
In the June 18 issue of the journal Molecular Cell, Ebright and colleagues, and Severinov and members of his research team, describe in separate reports how each team used different experimental methods to reach the same conclusions.
"It was only last year that we solved the structure of this molecule, just 21 amino acids long, remarkable both in its size and its structure," said Ebright, a participant in the original structural studies, along with Severinov.
"A great many papers have been published on this molecule in the last year," added Severinov. "Interest in MccJ25 has really exploded."
Shaped like a lasso with its tail pulled back through the loop, MccJ25 is one of very few molecules known to have this highly stable and rigid configuration – a characteristic that may lead to applications beyond drug design.
"MccJ25's sturdy structure permits it to withstand all sorts of harsh environmental conditions," said Severinov. Because of its robustness, he added, "the [U.S.] Department of Defense is interested in the molecule as a potential bacterial decontaminating agent."
MccJ25 inhibits bacterial RNAP and kills bacteria, but it does not inhibit human RNAP and would therefore not kill a human. Ebright cautions, however, that MccJ25 has some shortcomings. It affects only E. coli and closely related bacterial species and is highly subject to developing resistance.
Rutgers researchers are already at work on overcoming these obstacles. Ebright's group has modified the molecule to produce derivatives that have a narrower resistance spectrum. The Severinov group is pursuing the same goal through a National Institutes of Health joint research program with scientists from the University of Tucuman, Argentina, who originally discovered MccJ25 in 1992.

Although nose tackle Josh Brent has not been banned from attending voluntary workouts with the Dallas Cowboys, executive vice president Stephen Jones advised Brent that it would be best if he stayed away from the Cowboys' facility until his legal situation is cleared up.
Brent was arrested for intoxication manslaughter in the death of his friend and teammate Jerry Brown Jr. on Dec. 8.
Brent is currently on the reserve/non-football illness list. He has a Sept. 23 trial date on the charge, and he faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
"The league hasn't had any sanctions on him," Jones said Tuesday on KRLD-FM in Dallas, according to ESPNDallas.com. "The more important thing for Josh right now is to focus on the issues at hand for himself, and obviously, he's got some legal issues he's going to be working through, not to mention all the personal issues that are involved with what he was involved with. That's what he's focused on right now."

Renter - Door ideas
Hi everyone,
Thanks for providing this great resource.
I live in a rental property, and my housemate's room has no door. The landlord is already dealing with a ton of leaks, etc, and I don't want to burden him further, but a cotton curtain really isn't cutting it. We are looking for ideas for a secure, locking room divider that would be quite inexpensive and not cause lasting alteration to the property.
The space used to have double French doors, quite tall. around 7.5/8 feet. It's approx. 4 feet wide. Hinges are still up from the old doors.
Thanks again!
Habitat for Humanity reuse stores usually have a ton of doors to choose from. You could get a replacement there maybe
Resale store mesuare the opening and look for two doors that will fill the opening.
a sheet of plywood. cut it to almost exact fit. screw it to the existing hinges. put jam moldings on. then a latch to hold it closed.
Thanks much, all! Will look into these options.
There are lot of cheap room dividers available that could be the solution for your privacy. Since the hinges are already there use a large diameter PVC pipe and hang a clothesline of your choice.
