LOL…thanks, love the bird of peace sign. Too bad you had to disguise it…
Sign up for the pay checks and all the benefits…get the good training…and when it comes to the time to serve..see ya Jose! Liberals are good weather patriots. May be he was hoping to serve at Guam, Okinawa, Hawaii, or Indian Ocean. Ooops…he rolled a bad number..not 7/11…time to get out.
Liberals sure know how to take advantage of the conservatives….
easy87us on June 27, 2006 at 10:44 AM
Just another piece of the lefts attempt to break down the rule of law, to make everything grey, to support moral relativism.
Amenesty for illegals, Governements ability to sieze land and give it to someone else for profit, Pass for kids breaking the law to skip school to go to pro immigration events, NYTs getting a pass on the clearly illegal publishing of Classified material because they are "Journalists", Even Hate crimes (punished not for what you do, but what you were thinking when you did it)….
It will be the destruction of Western Civilization… the breakdown of the Rule of Law….

I think the key thing to remember is that Watada joined the military AFTER the invasion of Iraq. If he didn't agree with the war, he never should have signed up. (What… he didn't think he'd have a chance of going over? Idiot!)
A Kool-Aid drinking organization called organizepittsburgh.org is organizing an "anti-recruiting" rally in Market Square in Pittsburgh today for the "National Day of Action". I plan on being there, rain or shine. The military, I'm sure, will not be able to get there point of view across; but maybe I can be an anti-anti-recruiting protester.
MM is right; this guy deserves Leavenworth; nothing less.
Great vent!

What dalewalt says. He knew the war in Iraq was going on, and signed up anyway. May he RIL (Rot In Leavenworth.)
StephC on June 27, 2006 at 10:55 AM
Did he honestly think that the Army would train him, and let him walk away when he said he didn't want to serve? Or more likely, did he plan to do this from the beginning as a form of protest?
If you accept government pay and training with no intent to serve, isn't that fraud?
High Desert Wanderer on June 27, 2006 at 10:57 AM
Could this be a ploy, from the very beginning, to enter politics like his father? Like John Kerry? Get face time and/or name recognition?
Or more likely, did he plan to do this from the beginning as a form of protest?
Yep. Certainly looks that way.
Wade, you may very well be correct… I just hope he enjoy's protesting from an 8×10 cell.
Only in a seriously twisted Godless liberal mind could someone like this fellow become a "hero". There are jail cells made just for people like this guy, and unfortunately that's where he should be, and tinfoil hatters can go worship him there if they like.
When you step back and look at the whole picture, can you actually even imagine a Nation of collective human liberal debris such as we have who obviously WANT to lose so badly? You have to ask yourself, what WOULD our founding Fathers have done about these people if this was what they had to deal with in time of war? And you also have to realize, even if the liberal mind cannot comprehend it, if THIS is the kind of "leader" they intend to praise, what kind of "leaders" do they want for this Country? Oh wait, we already KNOW the answer to that, they want seditious traitors to "lead" them. Lead them WHERE, not one of them seems to have a clue.
NRA4Freedom on June 27, 2006 at 11:17 AM
Liberals anger me frequently.
They bewilder me often.
But I think I can safely say this is the first time I've really felt truly, deeply sorry for them.
How pathetic that THIS is what they've sunk to. I'm curious – is there a liberal here that will defend this?
How do they get past the sheer lack of logic here? Dalewalt is right: the critical point is that the coward joined AFTER the Iraq war began.
Let's assume liberals are right – it's an illegal war. Now imagine a career soldier who'd fought in Vietnam and Desert Storm, who then refused to go to this war because it was, in fact, illegal.
(Note: the war is not illegal. It's justified by 12 years and 17 resolutions and an invasion of 3 countries and support of terrorism … and you know the drill. But let's pretend liberals are right – just to see how silly they still are).
Now that guy refuses to go – claiming an illegal order.
THAT guy could at least theoretically be called courageous. He's served; he's fought before; he sees this order as illegal.
Unfortunatley for liberals, that's not Watada. He JOINED absolutely KNOWING he'd likely be deployed. So which is he? Is he just blitheringly stupid? Incredibly selfish? Was he gambling that he wouldn't be deployed, using the military for his own gain, only crying and gnashing his teeth once his gamble failed to pay off?
Or was it all on purpose? Is he a complete phony and fraud who lied when he joined the military and did it SOLELY so he could pull this stunt when his unit was deployed?
You tell us liberals: which one of those two is Watada? It's logically inescapable: he has to be one or the other. So which is it?
And how is either "courageous?"
I suspect he is both a poltically motivated fraud AND a coward of the first order.
Any liberals here willing to admit that painful truth? Or at least try to mount an intellectual defense?
Good luck.
Like I said: on this one, I feel bad for liberals. It must truly suck to be them. I can't imagine having to defend this morally, and trying to defend it logically would rupture a blood vessel in my head.
Then again, when I grew up I stopped being liberal. Maybe avoiding these obvious examples of cognitive dissonance and moral cowardice is the part of the reason I made that choice.
As for the controversy, there's really only one set of opinions I'd like to hear – I'd like to hear what the members of his unit, now deployed to the Middle East, think about this embarrassing creature.
I'll bet they have a few things to say.
Professor Blather on June 27, 2006 at 11:18 AM
We have Brave Marines Locked in Prison who haven't been convicted of anything yet….but this Dirt-bag gets to walk around freely to spout off his cowardice???
The Piece of Garbage should be in shackles right now..and preparing to stand a Court-Marshall. Well no worries for him..as soon as a Democrap is elected President, a blanket pardon will be issued to him, the guys who are stinking up Canada now…and I wouldn't put it past a pardon to be given to that Akbar dude who tossed grenades into an officer's tent.

LOL…thanks, love the bird of peace sign. Too bad you had to disguise it…
It's not even disguised; the "backwards" peace sign has the same meaning in England as that gesture using one less finger would have in America.
I actually heard once it was a gesture of defiance from English bowmen to the French. The French would cut their fingers off if captured so they couldn't pull the bowstring, and the English would taunt them with that gesture to show that they still had the fingers to kill them with. Not sure how true the story is, but it sounds great. And Michelle's use of it was priceless.

Professor Blather on June 27, 2006 at 12:13 PM
Prof. Blather,
You're welcome for that flash link in last vent. My only regret is I didn't find it earlier so that more people could have viewed it. Imagine the creative ways the days topics could be created in flash cartoons…
On to the subject at hand. Fortunately, a court martial will not be like trials on drama shows. This will be cut and dry. Namely, "Lt. Watada, did you deploy with your troops?"
"No, it is an illegal, and immoral war."
Ignoring everything after no, "The prosecution rests."
"You have been found guilty, and will be given a (hopefully) dishonorable discharge, and a 15 year sentence to begin immediately at Forth Leavenworth, KS.
No, I'm not a lawyer, but I was subject to the UCMJ for 20 years while serving in the US Navy, from 1984 to 2004.
rightside on June 27, 2006 at 12:55 PM
the government needs to prosecute both, the Times and Watada.
Instead of letting these defeatists break law after law to fulfill their goal of a defeated America, Enforce our laws, put them in jail, and let them serve as a warning.
"Don't Tread on me" used to be a warning, lately it seems to be our welcome mat.
Wyrd on June 27, 2006 at 1:08 PM
Allright Michelle! Great Vent – love the concept of enjoy your 15 minutes of fame and then rot in Leavenworth (peace sign)! LOL
Michelle's ability to add appropriate humor to this sad tale is greatly appreciated. Perhaps Michelle's closing commens and gestures are the best way to remember the disgrace of the latest posterboy for the Moonbats.
omegaram on June 27, 2006 at 1:09 PM
well, that was pretty much a waste of time. I went down to the recruiting office where an anti-recruiting 'protest rally' was being held. All I found was a couple of clueless kids and one older guy who looked like he did a few too many hits of acid in his youth. They handed me a pamphlet; I asked for a couple and ripped 'em up… they didn't really appreciate that.
They spent their time trying to tell me how recruiters/soldiers/officers/Rumsfeld/Bush do nothing but lie to us; when I pointed out the inconsistencies in Watada's story they reverted back to "he didn't know of the atrocities we're committing over there". When they mentioned "illegal war" I asked them about the resolution authorizing us to invade Iraq. They repeated their "they lied to us" mantra.
The one good thing is that I stopped into the recruiting office, shook the hand of the Army Sgt in there, and thanked him for everything he's done/doing for our country.
It's funny to hear the Left say "illegal war" over and over again. It reminds me of an exchange in one of my favorite movies:
"You keep using the word. I do not think it means what you think it does."
Now substitute "inconceivable" with "illegal". In the Liberal's mind, apparently "illegal", when applied to a war or anything revealed by the NYT, really means "I WISH it were illegal."
Not sure what they mean when they say "immoral", though. That would imply a moral compass of some sort… which isn't possible when everything is relative and there's no such thing as Evil (except George W. Bush, of course).
I wonder if this LT really had the respect of his men. When an army officer has the respect of his NCOs and soldiers, they will follow him everywhere. At the same time, the officer will do everything for his men. In the perfect situation is kind of a symbiotic relationship.
But this guy doesn't care for that, he cares for no.1: "Me, myself, and I".
If he really thought the order to deploy was an illegal order, he'd go up his chain of command to submit that proposal and maybe try to claim conscientous (sp) objetor status (after resigning his commission), not go announcing his decision to the world.
I don't think he's acting from conscience, he was posturing. If he is not sent to Leavenworth, you'll see him running for elective office in Hawaii. Just like John Francois Kerry did.

Mike H. on June 27, 2006 at 2:16 PM
What's hard to understand is what part of the war is "illegal" in this guy's mind. Congress specifically authorized it, as I recall.
The other thing that's hard to reconcile is why, after the campaign in Iraq had already begun, someone as morally flaccid as this guy chose to enlist. One would've thought that by then, all the, "B-b-b-but I only enlisted for the educational benefits!" types would've been either weeded out or dissuaded from joining in the first place.
As a former officer, I can confidently say that this guy is an utter disgrace to the military in general, the Army in particular, and the officer corps itself. If he won't face enemy bullets, it's a pity that he won't be called upon to face American ones.
Spurius Ligustinus on June 27, 2006 at 2:23 PM
The only comfort you can draw from this soon to be defrocked "officer" not going over to Iraq is that he showed his true stripes now and didn't pull this sort of "protest action" by turning his back on his troops in the middle of an engagement. They're well off without him.
Then again, the only thing it may saved the rank and file soldiers is the trouble of giving him a "Neidermeyer"-style farewell.
And by the way…I think we REALLY need to get a grip in this country on what the word "protest" means. Like the word "INCONCEIVABLE" as quoted in DAVE SHAY'S post, I'm starting to suspect that the people using it are losing what the concept truly entails…And with greater speed every year.
52Ranger on June 27, 2006 at 2:26 PM
Another quick, decidedly movie-driven point…Who's this man's hero; Private Judy Benjamin? If he didn't sign up in the middle of a war to fight, just what was he looking for?The water-skiing?
52Ranger on June 27, 2006 at 2:29 PM
Great Vent folks, as always. Well, what's to say that has not been said. My question is, where are our site liberals, riding to save the day by defending this cowardly excuse for a dirtbag. He should be ashamed that there is a picture of him wearing the proud patch of 2 ID, a unit I am quite familiar with. I hope his time at Leavenworth is long, and he can think on how quickly the moonbats drop him when some other shiny object catches their attention. Good luck, Pvt. Wantada. I hope you have an "interesting" cellmate.
jcon96 on June 27, 2006 at 2:39 PM
I had a friend upset with me because I doubted the patriotism of a couple of trolls on a post whom she was closely aligned with politically. I try to keep it simple-we are all patriotic until our actions and words show that we are not patriotic.
I believe that in a time of war, the entire country should get behind the President, whomever it may be, instead of trying to destroy him and his admin, and frustrate our efforts to protect ourselves.
Someone elsewhere today mentioned the 'long con'.
Liberals tell us how terrible our President is, exclaim that the country is in rough shape economically under his admin…so that they can ride in on their white chargers and save the day? And they are willing to become traitors to accomplish thier goals? That's their 'long con'.
The country is in great shape under a good President. All that Liberals are showing the country is why they no longer are of concequence.
What great movie references! Inigo Montoya, Neidermeyer, Pvt. Benjamin … y'all are on a roll.
Now where are those pesky liberals? I was really hoping to hear somebody offer up a defense of this gutless girlyman. Nobody?

It was the Winnebago (i.e. the Urban Assault Vehicle) he was after.
And to add another movie-driven point … can someone tell me if Leavenworth qualifies as a true F.P.M.I.T.A. prison?

Amen and amen. You'd think they'd have figured this out by now, huh?
believe that in a time of war, the entire country should get behind the President, whomever it may be, instead of trying to destroy him and his admin, and frustrate our efforts to protect ourselves.
You know what? I don't even ask that much of liberals. Not even close. They don't have to "get behind" the President. I ask only one thing: that in the absence of evidence to the contrary, they ASSUME the President and our country are innocent until proven guilty (whatever the charge or scandal might be). I just ask that they give America the benefit of the doubt. I just ask that they don't eagerly, anxiously go looking for things to bash our country with. I just ask that they don't actually work AGAINST us.
That's all I ask.
But it's apparently too much.
Asking them to actually "get behind" the President is light years beyond my feeble request. Good luck with that.
Professor Blather on June 27, 2006 at 3:08 PM

Is anybody organizing counter-protests? I'd love to see a few "Watada is a TRAITOR" signs on Fox News (no other news station would have enough balls to admit they existed, even if they were outnumbered a thousand to one)…
RobertHuntingdon on June 27, 2006 at 4:00 PM
Well Watada is a disgrace not only as an officer but as a man. It is not up to him to decide if a war is legal or not. It is up to him to decide if his actions in prosecution of that war are illegal however as witnessed by the numerous service members who have been put on trial for their actions. To me it appears that this was, at least on some level, planned prior to his entry onto active duty or at the very least shortly there after in an attempt to shirk his duty. It is best that he did not deploy, since it probably saved lives. This guy is a coward to his core. I would love to see how Gen Patton would have handled this.
I do want the military to prosecute this guy and to throw the entire weight of military justice behind it. I would like to see him sentenced to a prison term that could only be terminated with cessation of hostilities in the war on terror. In other words basically what would amount to a life sentence.
LakeRuins on June 27, 2006 at 4:17 PM
Prof. Blather said: Or was it all on purpose? Is he a complete phony and fraud who lied when he joined the military and did it SOLELY so he could pull this stunt when his unit was deployed?
I totally agree. sounds like he did this so he could have his 15 minutes of anti-war protest fame. I wonder WHO is backing him financially?? move-on, perhaps? soros??
pullingmyhairout on June 27, 2006 at 4:43 PM
It is not up to him to decide if a war is legal or not.
Fine with me if he wants to (wrongly) conclude a war is "illegal" (whatever that actually means). Just don't go and join the frickin' military AFTER that war begins.
Well, what's to say that has not been said. My question is, where are our site liberals, riding to save the day by defending this cowardly excuse for a dirtbag.
That's an awfully good question.
It is up to him to decide if his actions in prosecution of that war are illegal however as witnessed by the numerous service members who have been put on trial for their actions.
And that right there is the most important question and I haven't even seen anyone bring it up.
Everyone's talking about this "illegal war"," but LakeRuins is right: that's not up to Watada. Ever. Never. His only right (and duty) is to refuse unlawful ORDERS. Whether the war is unlawful is irrelevant, no matter what they say at DU; what matters is whether he received an unlawful order.
I guess he'll claim that even the order to deploy was unlawful. I wonder if he would have protested orders to Germany or Japan or Korea or Kosovo? After all, if we're occupying Iraq we're certainly still occupying those places.
If Watada was a politically smart loony liberal (and if he had a shred of courage), he would have deployed to Iraq and THEN refused an order. At least then he might have had a legal leg to stand on.
Of course, he might have gotten shot for it, too. It's a little easier to "bravely" refuse an order sitting in an air-condition barracks room in the States.
Now where are those trolls hiding? Somebody's got to be willing to defend this chump. Better BetterOff will do it.
Professor Blather on June 27, 2006 at 4:51 PM
Is he a complete phony and fraud who lied when he joined the military and did it SOLELY so he could pull this stunt when his unit was deployed?
That was my first thought as well. What are the other options? Ignorance (didn't know troops were deployed in Iraq)? Kerryism (he supported the war before he didn't support the war)?
Following in this vein:
- Bakers Against Bread
- Voters Against Democracy
- The Anti-Free-Speech Debate Club
- moveon.com (c'mon, someone has to get that)
And as much as I respect people's right to object to the resumption of war in Iraq, they sort of lose me when they call it "illegal." Yeah… illegal to the dictator who was toppled. But not illegal to the UN or the United States. Not illegal to the Clinton administration.
Congress authorized the war, both the first time we went there, and when the ceasefire agreement was breached and went back. The U.N. specifically authorized the initial military action, and also passed resolutions mentioning the use of force for the enforcement of the various resolutions passed since then.
I'll consider someone's thoughts on the war being "stupid" or "unnecessary" or "risky." But "illegal" isn't even close to being a matter of opinion, in this case.
Mark Jaquith on June 27, 2006 at 5:08 PM
If Watada was a politically smart loony liberal (and if he had a shred of courage), he would have deployed to Iraq and THEN refused an order. At least then he might have had a legal leg to stand on.
This is a good point. A soldier should refuse illegal orders. Like, if a real life "Jesse Macbeth" were ordered to murder defenseless civilians. He's required to refuse that order. And I (and I imagine most of you), would applaud him for that.
But refusing to deploy for a war authorized by Congress and that you signed up for is really really stupid.
Mark Jaquith on June 27, 2006 at 5:18 PM
Watada is a phoney,
when he signed up he did it for the anti-war freaks and was told he could just drop out or run to canada real fast and they would help his sorry a–.
But they didn't count on him trying to stand up to the government and now they no longer can help him..
He's a sorry a– loser ..
If he was my son and thank god he's not I would kick his butt to the MP'S to lock him up…
I have a strong courageous ALL AMERICAN MAN for a son,
he did his Basic,AIT school,and he was a Paratrooper in 82nd airborne and now he transferred into the 1st Cavalry …
And believe it or not i'm lucky to know that because I usually forget what he told me..
He is a great son and a Husband and a Father but he's a SOLDIER FIRST….Thanks for the vent Michelle…
alyce on June 27, 2006 at 6:11 PM
Alyce, thank you for bringing up such a fine son, obviously you taught him right. And my thanks to him for carrying on for the rest of us who have been there, done that and have the t-shirt to prove it. :) I am sure he exemplifies all that is good in the US military.
jcon96 on June 27, 2006 at 6:59 PM
Yes he does..
I have another son but they turned him down because he has a heart murmur that we can't fix..
Boy would he be pissed to hear about this phoney and would consider trying to go back to the recruiters office, just to get turn down again..He's stubborn like his mom..
alyce on June 27, 2006 at 7:14 PM
Watada has already been to Korea, as evidenced by the patch on his uniform in some of the pictures, the big Indianhead patch of the 2nd ID in Korea. In his own interview to the Seattle newspaper when he first went public he stated he would go if ordered to Afghanistan but not Iraq. (That is of course unless he got orders for Afghanistan.) Not sure what his job was in Korea. I reasearched the local newspaper for the 2nd Infantry Division and while it indicated that he was mentioned in one of the stories in an issue in their archives I was unable to locate the story.
LakeRuins on June 27, 2006 at 8:02 PM
Watada enlisted after the Irag operation began. He knew what he was getting into. Now he claims that it is an illegal war?
Watada is a liar, a fraud, a coward and a traitor.
FWIW, I'm an ex-USAF/ANG enlisted swine (E-6).
Rusty Bill on June 27, 2006 at 8:23 PM
Technically, Watada did a very stupid thing. He is sending himself to jail.
Politically, he is not that smart neither. He will never be in the inner liberal circle. May be he can join Cindy Sheehan to be her side kick.

text: NEW YORK, April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: PharmaFocus: Vaccine Adjuvants in Infectious Disease http://www.reportlinker.com/p01158403/PharmaFocus-Vaccine-Adjuvants-in-Infectious-Disease.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Drug_and_Medication PharmaFocus: Vaccine Adjuvants in Infectious Disease Summary Originally discovered by Glenny in the 1920s, vaccine adjuvants have remained the pharmaceutical industry's "dirty little secret". Today, vaccine adjuvants are credited with helping to bolster the immune response in the host post-vaccination. Recently, second-generation adjuvants have come under scrutiny after reports that the adjuvant used in certain pandemic influenza vaccines was linked to causing narcolepsy in Swedish and British adults. Such reports, compounded by the general mistrust of adjuvants, have resulted in these vital vaccine components becoming the scapegoat of the vaccine industry. However, immunologists and infectious disease specialists are in agreement over the beneficial uses of adjuvants in vaccines today, especially as a means to reduce the number of doses, increase the likelihood of a sustained immunological response and decrease the overall incidence of disease. Scope - Overview of vaccine adjuvants, including the host immune system, host cell targets, descriptions of different adjuvant classes and regulatory guidelines to seek approval for adjuvanted vaccines. - Key topics covered include vaccines and the host immune response, adjuvant targets, and current adjuvant options (first and second generation) for the vaccine adjuvant market. - Analysis of the current and future market competition in the vaccine adjuvant market. Insightful review of the key industry and governmental drivers, restraints and challenges. Each trend is independently researched to provide qualitative analysis of its implications. Reasons to buy - Develop and design your in-licensing and out-licensing strategies through a review of pipeline products and technologies, and by identifying the companies with the most robust pipeline. - Develop business strategies by understanding the trends shaping and driving the global vaccine adjuvant market.

The Takeaway
Today, members of the Muslim Brotherhood will take part in protests across Egypt to demonstrate against the recent power grab by the Egyptian military council. The council has promised to hand over power by the end of the month, but that's done little to reassure the country and the international community that what they're witnessing isn't simply a "soft coup."
The United States has urged Egypt's military to move swiftly on plans to transfer full power to an elected civilian government. Suggested failure to do so would prompt a review of U.S. ties, which includes billions of dollars in military and civilian aid. Joining us from Cairo is Jon Leyne, correspondent for our partner the BBC.

Bar´ ath Department of Radioelectronics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic Abstract The virtual sound sources can be used for numerous purposes such as computer games, entertainment (film industry etc.) and more importantly assistive devices. The most straightforward method for the virtual sound source positioning is filtering of the input sound signal with Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF). The HRTF can be measured on the chosen subject or synthesized.When the measurement is done the HRTF must be verified whether is suitable for the purposes of the VAS. The aim of this paper is to simplify such measurements and verifications by using GUI made in the Matlab environment. 1 Introduction The virtual sound sources can be used for numerous purposes such as computer games, entertainment (film industry etc.) and more importantly assistive devices. The virtual sound sources can be positioned in a virtual auditory space (VAS) with various methods. The most straightforward method is filtering of the input sound signal with Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF). The HRTF can be measured on the chosen subject or synthesized [2], although measuring leads to better virtual sound space perception. Our setup for the HRTF measurement (Fig. 1), described in [1] and in further chapters, was designed to be maximally portable, so is very simple. The one of problems with the setup is how to control the angle (azimuth, elevation) from which the HRTF is measured. The problem we tried to solve with help of Matlab environment. When the measurement (or synthesis) is done the HRTF must be verified whether is suitable for the purposes of the VAS. For the testing of created VAS can also Matlab GUIs such as one described in our previous paper [3] used, but more reliable method was suggested in our paper [4]. Details about implementing of such a method in the Matlab environment are presented in this paper. Figure 1: A picture of the experimental setup 2 The system design Our experimental setup for HRTF measurement/verification consists of a custom made wideband loudspeaker and a rotational chair (Fig. 1). The azimuth is set by rotating the chair (and the subject), elevation by elevating the loudspeaker. Due to the fact that we used only one loudspeaker to measure/verify HRTF it was crucial and very time consuming to achieve the exact azimuth between the tested subject and loudspeaker. The rotating chair was originally equipped with a plate that had a degree scale carved into it. The chair also had a pointer which indicated the subjects azimuth. This setup required the azimuth to be read by a person (usually the experimenter), which is an inefficient way to measure HRIRs, or to measure the azimuth the subject was rotated to, and was updated to a more sophisticated setup. The initial idea was to use the grey code to measure the location of the subject, which would require the generation of the code on the circumference of a circle, so that it could be read by a bar-code reader. But at the end a more simple and also better method was chosen to use. Instead of the grey code, which would have a constant resolution once implemented, the chair rotation would be detected with a web camera that would detect the thickness of a test image (Fig. 2) placed on the plate, where the azimuths are carved. The Canyon CNR-WCAM820 web camera is used to detect the location. It was chosen for its simple design, which enables a simple implementation onto the chair and sufficient picture resolution. The evaluation of azimuths, as it was mentioned above, is done by the evaluation of the width of the test image. The images are cropped and the contrast is altered so that the number of "black" pixels can be counted. From this number the azimuth is found from a lookup table, that is generated depending on the width of the test image, at the initial position during the training phase. This setup can be used for the chair azimuth detection for both cases, measurement and testing, as is presented in next sections. Figure 2: The test image used to detect the azimuth 2.1 HRTF measurement In the case of the HRTF measurement, the subject is equipped with a pair of binaural microphones plugged in the middle ears. The test signal reproduced by the loudspeaker is at target azimuth recorded via these microphones. All of the standard methods for the transfer function measuring can be used as a test signal. The azimuth is changed by rotating the chair the subject is sitting on. The rotation of the chair is detected by the method mentioned above and monitored by a Matlab GUI (Fig. 3) where the actual azimuth is shown. User can choose two method of the measurement, automatic and user controlled. When the automatic method is chosen the list of target azimuth with chosen azimuth step by user is created and the subject is asked to match all azimuths from the list by rotating the chair. Due to that it could be very stressful for the test subjects to match the desired azimuth without any deviation of angle there is a option for user to set up his own maximal acceptable deviation for the measurement. To avoid false positive detection of target azimuth the 5 s duty cycle is inserted in the measurement loop and then again match between the target and actual azimuth is done, if the match maintain the measurement of the HRTF could be done else the subject is asked to try again. The operator of the measurement only informs the subject about his actual azimuth. Since this process could be another possible source of time consumption during measurement a separate window with actual and target azimuth could be open and showed to the subject on second display. Depending on the method of the HRIR measurement whole measurement can be done without help of an operator. Figure 3: The GUI for azimuth detection 2.2 VAS verification The setup to verify the created VAS is similar to the one used in the HRTF measurement (Fig. 1), as suggested in [4]. The only difference stays in the exchange of the binaural microphones by stereophonic earphones. The loudspeaker is used to reproduce the acoustic stimulus which acts as the acoustic pointer (reference position in space). The same stimulus but virtually positioned by filtering the original one by the measured HRTF is then presented to the subject via earphones. The subject is asked to spin the chair in order to match the position in space of both stimuli mentioned above. The principle of the method is apparent from the Fig. 4. The test is conducted with ear-phones due to the fact, that headphones would significantly alter the sound coming from the reference speaker, which would make the task of localization more difficult. Moreover the HRIRs were measured at the entrance to the ear canal, thus it seems sensible to attempt and reproduce the binaural recording at the same place, thus eliminating the undesirable effects of the headphone transfer function. For our experiments, the Sennheiser MX 375 earphones were chosen, which have low attenuation and are small in size, so meets the requirements we stated. Due to the available equipment at our department the testing method is limited to testing of azimuths in a fixed elevations. If the elevation of the reference could be quickly adjusted by the subject (e.g. by means of a motorized stand) the method can be also extended to the elevation testing. The test procedure as well as the location detection are implemented in Matlab and follows the flowchart presented in Fig. 5. The procedure is based on the idea presented in [4], but was improved to increase reliability of the measurement and comfort of the subject. At the beginning, the subject undergoes a "training phase" when all the azimuths are presented in an incrementing manner. The end of the training phase is indicated by a single beep out of the reference speaker (to make the experimenter aware as well). During the training phase, the subject shall face the reference speaker (azimuth 0), as the reference image is taken by the web camera, that will be used for the location evaluation. This means that the location evaluation is implemented in a way, that the test image and the camera do not have to be in any particular position at the beginning of the test. Following the training phase, the subject shall try to match the position of the reference and the virtual source. In this phase, the subject is free to listen either to the reference, virtual source, or to indicate that the positions have been matched. Currently the indication is made using the keyboard: • num1: play virtual source • num2: play reference speaker • num3: location matched, move on to the next azimuth Figure 4: Principle of the localization test Figure 5: The test image used to detect the azimuth Whenever the location is matched, the web camera takes a snapshot of the test image, and stores it for later evaluation. A double beep indicates that all locations have been found. At this point the subject is done with the test, and the script proceeds to the evaluation of the azimuths. Prior the test procedure, the experimenter has to set a couple of input parameters in the script. The input parameters set the subjects ID, the test accuracy, and the input binaural files. 3 Implementation details The azimuth detection, GUI for HRTF measurement and the script for the test of VAS described above were implemented in the Matlab environment. During the implementation there were some issues we had to deal with. The first task was to acquire image from the camera to determine the chair azimuth. The most straightforward solution is to use the Matlab Image Acquisition Toolbox, where the necessary functions for image acquisitions are contained. In the case the Image Acquisition Toolbox is not available, the solution depends on used operation system. For example, as we have shown in our article [5], solution like [6] can be used. In the worst case, when none of the before-mentioned solution works (e.g. 64 bit Win7 system), a external program to capture camera image (for example robotEyez [7]) can be used and then the image from the file is loaded and processed. All of the mentioned solutions are tested in our research. The script handling the keyboard input in case of switching the real/virtual source for the VAS testing was in our implementation taken from the Matlab central [8]. The keyboard could be replaced by a joystick or any other small input device for convenience reasons. The reproduction of the test signals requires the use of 3 audio channels (1 for the reference speaker and 2 for the earphones), however, Matlab only works with 2 channel audio by default. Again, more solutions are available, in our case was the handling of more than 2 channels solved by the use of PortAudio [9] which sent the signal into a multichannel external audio interface. 4 Conclusion The Matlab implementation of the tool for measurement of HRTF and testing the algorithms for virtual sound source positioning was presented. This tool increases efficiency of the HRTF measurement and VAS testing. The tool is currently limited only to the horizontal plane (chair azimuth detection), but can be extended to vertical plane. In the paper were also discussed and tested some ways, how to implement such a system in Matlab.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) - Brunswick County School officials are accusing the founder of Leland's Charter Day School of improper behavior to benefit his own finances.
Superintendent Edward Pruden has sent the State Board of Education a stack of letters, asking them to stop Charter Day School's founder Baker Mitchell from opening yet another charter school. Dr. Pruden also asked the state to look into allegations that Charter Day School is under investigation by the federal government, and the SBI.
It's not the first time someone has raised concerns about Mitchell profiting heavily from the public education system, and using his influence as a member of the state's Charter School Advisory Board to benefit his own charter schools. Now, Pruden is upset about Mitchell's efforts to lobby fellow board members to approve South Brunswick Charter School.
"The incestuous relationships that currently exist, even if they are legal, are not right. And probably were unintended, but when you have the opportunity to make millions of dollars running schools at the public expense, an awful lot of entrepreneurs are going to jump in there and see how they can do," Pruden said.
In his letters, Dr. Pruden relays allegations that Mitchell's Charter Day School is under investigation by the SBI and US Department of Education for improperly recruiting students to inflate enrollment numbers and state funding. The SBI tells us they have no such investigation.
"I wonder if Pruden's gone off his meds," Mitchell responded when we asked him about allegations of an investigation. "We have a waiting list of over 200 students. Why would we be seeking home school or even private school students? We've got more than we can handle as it is."
When we asked Pruden to elaborate on claims of an investigation outlined in his letters, that we have been unable to independently verify, he declined. "I really don't want to discuss allegations that are unproven. So I will leave that to the SBI, and the investigative wing of the US Department of Education."
The Department of Education has a policy that they will not confirm or deny investigations until they are complete, but Mitchell tells us he has no knowledge of any investigation by anyone.
Pruden also expressed concerns about trouble getting public records from Charter Day School, and the lack of transparency the law requires for how charter schools spend their money.
Pruden has been trying to get records that would indicate the level of community interest in adding an additional charter school in Brunswick County, saying that he thinks Charter Day School has overstated the level of interest in their efforts to get a new charter approved.
Mitchell's newest charter school, Douglass Academy in Wilmington, only has a 35 students, which is below the statutory minimum requirement of 65 students. Mitchell says this was their first year in operation, and confusion about the school's location hurt recruitment efforts this school year. But he says all 35 students have signed up to return next year, and they are confident they can get their numbers up to meet the state requirements.
The State Board of Education sent a one page letter of response to Dr. Pruden's letters, asking that he try to resolve this on the local level. They also dismissed his concerns about Mitchell's conflicts of interest, saying that he had been lawfully appointed to the Charter School Advisory Board.

We use WMI, the Windows Management Interface to tell us what software is installed on a windows machine. If APC does not use an MSI package or register itself correctly with WMI, we will not know that the software is installed.
We do not actually scan the file system looking for .exe's.
May 16, 2007 at 4:45 UTC
Thanks for your reply to my question. I have sent APC your answer will await their response. I will keep you posted so you may add the answer to your knowledge base.

Just because I've been in that role before, if it's easier to connect the two of us directly, please let me know, I'm willing to jump into your conversation with them to see what we can do to expedite and fix this issue.
They might have something that we can add to the product to make discovery easier for APC products.

GBP/CAD: sell target - 1.9750
By: Dmitriy Chernovolov
- GBP/CAD approaches round support level 2.0000
- Next sell target - 1.9750
GBP/CAD has been falling in the last few trading sessions inside the C-wave of the active intermediate ABC correction (4) from the end of August. The active C-wave started earlier in September – when the pair reversed down from the resistance area lying between the resistance level 2.0600 (previous buy target set in our earlier forecast for this pair) and the upper daily Bollinger Band.
The price is currently approaching the round support level 2.0000. If the pair breaks this support level - GBP/CAD can be expected to fall further in the active waves C and (4) toward the next sell target at 1.9750. Alternatively – the upward correction to the resistance level 2.0200 is likely.

And then while I have him on the phone give him a big FU to everyone on here who cannot stand Leaf or him? If you think a 5-10% ROI on a repacked product is ok and just "taking in the shorts" then that's what your willing to take without any gripe. My letter to him was very professional, polite, and not whiny. I simply asked if a 9.5 Newton with recent eBay sale of $10 and some change was supposed to be in product. My phone rings 5 minutes later with an apology, an explanation, and an offer to make right but somehow there are those who find fault with either myself or Leaf and Brian Gray? I'm pretty sure if I start a thread about loving Santa, the laughter of children and World Peace somebody will throw me and my views under the bus. I shared my hit, or lack thereof, I shared my story of Brian Gray, and it is what it is.
On a related note I finished opening my case of 2011 Topps Chrome rack packs. The haul was no orange refractors of anyone top tier, one base Newton, a Gold refractor /50 of Rahim Moore and various base RCs, etc. No autos, nothing special. I expect that and am fine with that. Same with my case of 2012 Chrome football where most autos were from Criner, Allen, Poe, etc...I did hit a gold auto of Russell Wilson though so not too shabby...and to all a Merry Xmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Kwanza, Happy Hannukah, and again, thanks Brian Gray hahaha!
I understand where you're coming from, I really do. I don't think 5-10% return on ANY product is acceptable, regardless of whether it's new, repackaged, or whatever. The thing is, when a new product is produced, companies have an average price per hit that they factor in. Over the print run of the product, their hits per box cost a certain amount to produce, and they don't account for secondary market value. To them, a hit is a hit, regardless of what we can sell it for on eBay.
In repackaged products, however, the company (in this case, Leaf) has total control of what they purchase for inclusion in their boxes. Anyone who believes Brian Gray did not intend to insert this Newton (or the Moon or the Wallace or any other low value card) is a moron. Why did he purchase these cards if he didn't intend to repackage them and make money??? I'm not calling him a thief or a criminal or even accusing him of wrongdoing. I'm saying it's disingenuous to say that he didn't intend to balance his costs in acquiring some of the big guns in the product by acquiring and including some chump cards, too.
Bottom line is they included it and hoped they wouldn't get called out on it by an unhappy customer. When you called them out on it, Gray quickly covered his @$$ and "made it right," thereby both playing the percentages AND looking good when it didn't work out. It's a no-lose situation for him, and make no mistake about it, he knew exactly what he was doing.
You were exercising your right to ask him about it and you're exercising your right to take what they offer as compensation. But again, this product is a gamble, and you take the bad with the good if you choose to take that gamble. Nobody who's pulling a big card in this product is calling them to tell them they can't accept that much value, so it's hypocritical to EXPECT compensation when you "take it in the shorts." I realize you didn't expect compensation when you complained. However, if anybody believes that a call from Brian Gray saying "oh, that's where that Newton went" and giving you a replacement box was anything but CYA, they're idiots.

SANDY, Utah – A dominant Real Salt Lake side emerged victorious in the latest battle of the Western Conference war with the Seattle Sounders.
RSL put in a complete team effort on Saturday night, defeating the visitors from Seattle 2-0 to move to the top of the conference standings.
The game started out very open-ended as both sides pushed to be the first to get on the scoresheet. The opening goal would not come until 41st minute, but the wait was well worth it.
Javier Morales's free kick attempt was deflected and bounced right to Kyle Beckerman. The veteran midfielder took it out of the air with a beautiful side volley that kissed the underside of the crossbar and beat Seattle goalkeeper Michael Gspurning.
"At first I was thinking, 'I'm wide open,'" Beckerman said after the match. "The ball popped out and I just tried to get something solid on it to get it on goal, and luckily it went in."
The Sounders were unable to respond before the halftime whistle as they finished the opening half with zero total shots. The second half was not any kinder to the Sounders as it only took RSL a single minute to find the back of the net again.
Once again, Morales played a huge part in the goal. He played a beautiful ball to an onrushing Robbie Findley, whose shot was parried by Gspurning. The ball fell fortuitously to forward Alvaro Saborio, who ended up lashing a pass back to Findley. The RSL forward didn't miss twice, blasting the ball into the back of the net to make it 2-0.
"Right when you turn around, [Saborio] takes the shot," Findley said. "It came back to me, bobbled between my legs and sat right there. I was able to just turn around and get it the first time."
The shellshocked Sounders would rarely threaten the rest of the match. RSL bossed the midfield and ended the game out-shooting the Sounders 17 to 2.
This is the type of win that makes a statement and surging to the top of the league table doesn't hurt either, but RSL head coach Jason Kreis brushed off any talk of first place.
"Just because we're first now, I'm not going to start concerning myself and being happy about that," Kreis said. "I'm still looking at the individual performances. When I say individual performances I mean week-in week-out, the individual games, and looking for places to improve."
Kreis will have plenty to look at after this game as plenty of RSL players' quality shone through. Despite missing regulars Chris Shuler and Kwame Watson-Siriboe in the back due to injury, academy product Carlos Salcedo stepped up admirably in central defense to help preserve the shutout.
These are the types of performances that are happening more regularly from an RSL side that was supposed to be rebuilding this season. Beckerman, however, isn't surprised by what the team has been able to accomplish.
"I think the biggest thing about that is having a winning mentality since 2007, when we turned it around," Beckerman said. "We just continue to try to build off that foundation. Whether we bring in new players, young players, old players – I think when the guys see what we've done in the past couple of years, they want to buy into this. When we bring in new guys, it's easy to integrate them to what we're about here."
RSL will be back home this Wednesday to face the Carolina RailHawks in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals. Seattle, on the other hand, will have a 10-day break before their next match, a league meeting with D.C. United.
Here are the match highlights:
RSL was quite good today and Seattle was quite bad today. Seattle really struggles without Alonso, that middle of the park gets get run over, Carrasco isnt good enough without Alonso. They really only created one chance the entire game and that was Martins after the RSL D had a communication issue. RSL did get lucky bounces on both their goals, especially the second one, but it is fairly obvious they were the better team tonight.
Also Garcia looks like a terror for RSL, that was the most I'd seen of him. Bit of physicality as well.
Garcia keeps looking good. How fast is that guy anyway? and he's got skills.
Seattle always misses Alonso, Rosales hasn't been the same all year since his injury, and I'm wondering if Montero is missed by that whole team. Seattle fans, what do you think?
Really dont Montero is the issue, although Rosales has looked off the pace at times. Neagle, Martins and EJ each have 4 goals and have worked well together. This team is just much worse without Alonso, he controls the entire team, he is by far the most important player. Its a bit like LA without Juninho or RSL without Beckerman, a big piece is missing without him
no doubt on Alonso, they always miss him when he's out. Interesting about Juninho as he's been subpar for him so far, especially later in games.
thanks for the thoughts on Montero
Im not saying Montero wouldnt help, because regardless of what other Seattle fans say he is still a good player but we dont miss him much. Also missing Yedlin yesterday hurt, Scott never gets forward at RB so we lost a major part of our attack. Ultimately teams are bound to have bad games and Seattle had one.
Good win for RSL. Seattle is better than they showed in this one. Two young solid players for RSL are salcedo and Olmes Garcia. RSL has to start proving it on the road and will suffer a some quality when rimando and beckerman join the US for gold cup.
Complete and udder midfield domination. After reading your first paragraph about "both teams pushing for the first goal", I wondered if you were watching the same game I was at. It is true that RSL was a little sloppy in possession early, but Seattle never came close to threatening RSL's goal all game. In fact, their one and only shot came in the 74th minute and was a long range effort that was easy for Rimando.
This game was as one sided as any game I have seen in MLS this season. 17 shots to 1! It was still very entertaining with some chippy moments, but RSL just dominated the midfield. Seattle has some nice attacking options but just cannot keep possession in the middle of the park. Even with Alonso they struggle with creativity from the middle. Without him, they have no bite, creativity or possession. They may have the weakest midfield in the league right now. It is amazing that Shalrie Joseph has fallen so far that he can't start in that midfield right now. He used to be a really, really good player that I quite admired. Now, he seems to just be good for a few cheap shots a game and a likely yellow card.
Those poor udders never had a chance….
"They may have the weakest midfield in the league right now." Now I know they werent good last night but that is a bit of an overstatement. Have you watched Chivas or SJ recently? If you are talking center of the pitch maybe but their outside mids are as good as anyones.
Who's that creepy guy just over Beckerman's left shoulder?
A reluctant fan of soccer or a sounders fan. Either way he's amused but not impressed enough to stand.

The (already award winning) PowerGrid Cortana has been released as a "supportive cushioning" shoe. When compared to the popular ProGrid Kinvara, this shoe feels a little more substantial, and hints at a slightly longer lifespan. However, it remains a super light training option, weighing in at about 300g (Men's size 9.5), falling closer to a "lightweight trainer" than a traditional cushioned neutral shoe (ASICS DS Trainer – 285g; neutral trainer option from ASICS the Gel-Nimbus – 340g).
The Cortana maintains the same reduced pitch as the previously released and hugely popular ProGrid Kinvara. Technically, this means there is less of a height differential between the heel of the shoe and the forefoot. This is a key aspect of minimalist shoe design, that, surprisingly, is often missed. To put this into perspective, Saucony has given the Cortana a 4mm drop – sitting your heel just 4mm above the forefoot. This is the same height differential that is common to many racing flats, whereas a traditional "neutral trainer" would typically have a 10-12mm height differential. This can't be understated – in the Cortana (as in the Progrid Kinvara/Mirage) this 4mm drop is over 60% less than in a normal neutral training shoe. In terms of "feel," this helps to encourage a more natural gait, and allows the runner to easily incorporate a little more "forefoot" emphasis into their gait, without really trying. Nice.
Fit and Feel
The upper incorporates "Sauc-Fit" – basically helping to lock the heel and mid-foot onto the midsole platform. This translates into a snug fit overall. There's enough forefoot width, while at the same time I'm not left swimming in the shoe. The material feels breathable, but a little more secure than in the Kinvara – which some have found to be not quite as much support as they are looking for in a training shoe. The "Comfortride Sockliner" is an exclusive open cell foam sockliner, is antimicrobial (always nice) and seems pretty breathable.
For someone coming out of a "normal" shoe, this will feel light, with a lot of forefoot emphasis and less rigidity than some of the more structured shoes on the market. The shoe incorporates Saucony's PowerGrid with PowerFoam technology, which basically means it's light, and provides the runner with great cushioning and a responsive feel.
The PowerGrid Cortana has an IBR blown rubber compound in the outsold. This is hard wearing and will provide a bit more durability than the ProGrid Kinvara, falling in line with Saucony touting the Cortana as a bit more of a high mileage option.
Colour and Appearance
The shoe looks reasonably progressive and "racey," but holds onto the roots of a traditional trainer. Despite the shoe having a bit more of a forefoot emphasis, Saucony have still played on the aesthetics of having "heel technology" by changing the colourway of the midsole through the crash-pad of the heel. This hints to the consumer that although the shoe is light and flexible, it is going to forgive you for the odd heavy heel-strike and suit a variety of runners. Personally, I'm not sure about the new "hue blending" that is popping up on a lot of shoes these days. Call me a traditionalist, but I prefer the stronger, more block colours. Overall though, the men's model looks as good as any of the shoes on the market at the moment, and the women's model looks edgy and a little brighter, perfect for the brighter days ahead.
The Run
Having been notoriously picky about my shoes, I approach new models with a bit of reservation. I often find myself thinking "what would someone else think of this" rather than: "what do I think of this?" Not this time. I put the shoe on, it feels natural. There's enough width in the forefoot, the 4mm drop feels good. I'm reminded of a more forgiving, cushioned version of the Saucony Grid Type A4 racing flat from – a long-time favourite. The shoe feels very cushioned, but I feel flat, level and naturally positioned. Heading outside and I start to tick over a few strides – it feels natural. I can maintain a quick turnover, the shoe allows me to run tall, and I don't have to force my form. It comes easily.
The run continues for a hilly 11km. The shoe feels cushioned, light, responsive and most importantly to me: natural. As a big fan of some of the more minimal approaches to running shoes, the PowerGrid Cortana stacks up well. It's a softer, more forgiving option for sure – but when compared to the more traditional neutral high mileage training shoes, feels like a high performance machine.
Who's It For
The Saucony PowerGrid Cortana is a great shoe for the runner who is conscious about running efficiently, wants a lightweight, high-mileage training shoe and wants it to last a little longer than some of the other models out there. The Cortana will help a range of runners run smoother, with a quicker turnover and less impact. There's enough cushioning under foot to be a great option for a slightly bigger runner or someone who is just starting to work on their running form. It also will make a fantastic longer distance "natural" training shoe.
With a more neutral platform, it may be less suited to someone who is traditionally a heavier pronator, although the footbed seems to have ample room to accommodate an orthotic. Furthermore, a runner who generally uses more pronation control and is used to a heavy focus on the heel cushioning in their shoe may benefit from the reduced pitch and increased flexibility that the Cortana offers.
I've been waiting patiently for the release of Saucony's Cortana and I haven't been disappointed. It's great to see a top-end, neutral training shoe incorporate some progressive design features that have already seen phenomenal success in Saucony's minimalist inspired range. The reduced drop in the shoe, it's lightweight feel and flexibility all combine to produce a shoe that is different from anything else that is out there at the moment. Different in a good way!
Shoe Type: Neutral Cushioned
Price: RRP $259
Weight: ~300g for men's size 9.5, ~27g for women's size 8.
Similar Shoes: To an extent..: Mizuno Wave Rider, Saucony ProGrid Kinvara, On Cloudrunner, Newton Neutral Trainer

Colour and Appearance
The Run
With the recent trend amongst the running shoe manufacturers to introduce a "minimalist" shoe, there are now plenty of options for the light-footed runner who is after a little less on their foot. The benefits of running in a more minimal shoe can be widespread, whether we look at traditional racing flats, or the new generation of "barefoot" shoes. A "closer to the road feeling" can be achieved, as well as a more natural gait pattern. Claims of fewer injuries, faster times and a more enjoyable running experience are often heard.
However, this is not another article on minimalist running, that's for a different day. Here we take a look at a new option from Saucony. This is the brand who has recently brought us a myriad of "reduced drop," lightweight shoes including the Progrid Kinvara, the Progrid Mirage and the new super minimal Hattori (stay tuned for write-up on this ultralight option!). This is also a brand that has had it's heart and soul in running from the start. The Jazz, Hurricane, Triumph and Grid Type A series were all brought to us by Saucony. In short, these guys know their running and know their shoes.

ProRally teams have titles clinched, Colorado Cog next
Team Mopar has already clinched several SCCA ProRally championships this year, but the rally artists will go for more this weekend at "Colorado Cog," set near the picturesque ski resort town of Steamboat Springs, Colo. This penultimate event on the ProRally schedule is a brand-new event; competitors' versatility will be tested early and often, but Mopar tandem Doug Shepherd and Pete Gladysz's strength and experience should help them drive to the front.
Championships already firmly in hand for Mopar and Dodge:
Overall 2WD driver (Shepherd)
Overall 2WD co-driver (Gladysz)
Overall 2WD manufacturer (Mopar/Dodge)
Group 5 driver (Shepherd)
Group 5 co-driver (Gladysz)
Group 5 manufacturer (Mopar/Dodge)
The manufacturer titles come thanks to four double victories in both categories by the Shepherd/Gladysz combination, as well as two wins at the hands of Paul Choiniere/Cindy Krolikowski and one by the youthful Chris Whiteman/Mike Paulin pairing. The last duo also boasts a Group 2 event victory in 2004.
Both the Overall 2WD and Group 5 driver and co-driver championships are repeats of 2003 results when the Shepherd/Gladysz tandem captured the honors. This season, however, Team Mopar has been more dominant in SCCA rally non-4WD racing. In fact, Mopar's teams have impressively garnered seven overall top-ten finishes in single events behind the awesome power and versatility of the Dodge SRT-4.
Doug Shepherd and Pete Gladysz (above) have already clinched several championships in their No. 52 Mopar Dodge SRT-4. Check out moparspeed.com for updated results on the performance of the SCCA ProRally teams and the rest of Team Mopar.
No matter what surface, Mopar is fast.
Last weekend the Mopar-powered roadster from RaceDeck Racing extended one of its records despite unfavorable conditions on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Mopar-powered team increases Bonneville speed record
Despite poor weather conditions, the Team Mopar salt flat brigade returned to Bonneville last weekend. RaceDeck Racing and driver Jorgen Moller bumped up their existing record in the Street Roadster class* to 196.880 mph.
RaceDeck's roadster uses a Dodge SRT-4 engine that has been tuned by Team Mopar engine builder and owner Darrell Cox.
"We had a great run on our Street Roadster record," Moller said. "Despite the 25 mph crosswinds, we were able to up our record by almost 10 mph. The weather played havoc on the event and very few people actually made a record, so we were happy to get in some good passes."
The next event scheduled at Bonneville is the World Finals, set for Oct. 13-16.
Moller said: "We plan on running our Dodge SRT-4 in the F/Production Supercharged class at the World Finals. We are confident that once we get the car on the course we should be able to go well over the current record of 204 mph ... making it the fastest four-cylinder production turbocharged coupe or sedan on the Planet."
Moller's team was not able to make any record-breaking passes in their Dodge SRT-4 last weekend.
*Full fenders, open front grille and headlights on these cars create significant drag, making it very difficult to attain high speeds.

My column at First Things today talks about the ongoing tension between Catholic "Right and Left", and the conceit behind it:
There exists an undeniable tension between left-leaning "social justice" Catholics and the right-leaning "pro-life" side; they share a conceit of primacy—one side sees itself as more compassionate; the other as more obedient. I personally know "social justice" Catholics who will pretend pro-lifers care nothing for the poor. And I certainly know pro-lifers who think the "social justice" side pays only reluctant lip-service to church teachings on abortion and euthanasia.
That we do not wholly respect each other is inarguable; I credit "nun on the bus" Sister Simone Campbell for speaking with refreshing honesty when she said, "I have allowed a very narrow perspective on what is life . . . I don't want to be thought of as in [the pro-life] camp. Because of my pride, as opposed to my faith."
I wait in joyful hope for the day a pro-lifer can admit that, while she cares deeply for the plight of the poor, she just can't stand the idea of being associated with that "kumbaya hippie remnant."
Our unwillingness to charitably credit each other with being truly concerned about both "life" and "justice" issues—to see them as shared burdens differentiated only by their weight of emphasis and theoretical "solutions"—is tearing us apart.
Contemplating this past Sunday's gospel reading could, I think, help mend our rifts.
You can read the rest, here
Deacons Greg's homily this past weekend struck a similar chord:
…there can be other things that get in the way of following Christ. Other things we possess. Maybe it's a fear of change, an inability to trust or to love. Maybe it's a stubborn attachment to a particular sin.
Maybe it's something rooted in fear, or insecurity, or our own resistance to change.
How hard it is for us sometimes to give up those things, to let them go.
So often, the things we possess aren't things at all.
And often, we don't possess them. They possess us.
