1963 DKW-Porsche TM Special
Silver with Black Interior
During the 1950s and 1960s American Special racecars were a common sight at race meetings all over the US where they competed head to head with considerable success against the very best that the European manufactures could offer. Often hybrids by design, these American Specials were built from combinations of the preferred equipment available to the motoring public from their era, and are generally one-of-a-kind with colorful history.
This particular car is one such example. Admiring the lightweight, mid-engine construction of the highly effective Porsche 550, Curtis Thews, a mechanic for Studebaker and the owner of a VW/Porsche franchise, set out to develop his own small bore sports racer.
Curtis had experience racing in SCCA's production classes and had previously built a front-engine Crosley racer. Having access to Porsche's racing parts inventory, starting in 1963, Thews began laying out a design for his special.
Rather than constructing his own tubular chassis, Thews started with the welded-up sheet steel perimeter frame from a DKW Junior, a little front-wheel drive sedan with inboard brakes that was light and strong. Thews added some round tubing for a rollbar and front battery support, and a new rear sub-frame to support an engine and transaxle. The front suspension remained largely DKW, incorporating Porsche 356 brakes. The rear suspension was taken from a 356 as well, with VW Transporter brakes. Centaur, a small racing shop in Detroit, supplied the fiberglass body.
Thews then bought a pair of brand-new 1600cc Porsche Type 692 four-cam Carrera engines in Texas. To comply with H/Modified, (for under 850cc engines), Thews made one of his Carrera fours into a Carrera two. Removing one pair of opposing pistons and rods, machining special caps to block the appropriate oil passages in the crankshaft, blanking off the empty cylinders, removing lobes from two camshafts, and the no-longer-necessary valve train parts, Thews created a very effective four-cam twin of just under 800cc. Then he went racing. Not just in H/Modified with the twin, but in F, by swapping out the smaller motor and installing the 1600cc Porsche four-cylinder overnight.
The TM Special enjoyed great success while racing across the Midwest, however it proved too heavy to be a consistent winner in H/Modified. After a 911 motor was installed, the car became an autocross winner.
In 2004, the car was sold to a collector on the West Coast, who in turn then sold it to the current owner. The car was restored for vintage racing in a no-expense spared fashion by Emory Motorsports. New Koni shocks were installed up front, with Koni coil-overs in the rear. A new, stronger rollbar was fabricated. The car was subsequently featured in the November 2008 issue of Excellence.
This particular TM Special is fitted with a flat-four push rod engine prepared by Tim Morris at German Master Tech. It incorporates a Porsche 912 case and heads, Shasta pistons, and a Neutek cam. Morris says the new motor has break-in time only, and easily develops a hundred reliable horsepower.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a one-off vintage American racing special of unique design an uncanny craftsmanship. The restoration retains a very fresh appearance, and the car comes with extensive documentation and period photographs.

ABC Family has ordered two of its pilots to series, building up its drama catalog.
The two programs are Twisted and The Fosters. Both dramas will begin production this spring for the summer season. The exact number of episodes order of each is not known, but ABC Family normally orders eight to 12 episodes.
"ABC Family is synonymous with groundbreaking storytelling and iconic characters," said Michael Riley, ABC Family president. "These new shows will bring the same depth, heart, close relationships and authenticity that our viewers have come to expect and will pair nicely with our already established pop culture hits."
Twisted tells the tale of Danny Ryder (Avan Jorgia), a troubled man who recently reunited with his two best female friends from his childhood. He becomes the prime suspect when a student is found dead in her house. Why? Tune in.
The Fosters, which has Jennifer Lopez attached as an executive producer, is a one-hour drama that focuses on a multi-ethnic family of foster and biological kids that is raised by two mothers, who are played by Teri Polo and Sherri Saum.
The network will likely order more pilots to series soon. Offerings include Terminales, Phys Ed and Continuing Fred.
Either one of these new series sound like something you would watch?

Iroko Pharmaceuticals has acquired all non-U.S. commercial rights to Aggrastat® from Merck & Co. In this market, Aggrastat is marketed to prevent cardiac ischemic complications.
"Aggrastat substantially builds on Iroko's presence in the cardiovascular space and leverages our existing worldwide capabilities and infrastructure," remarks Osagie Imasogie, Iroko's chairman. "This transaction is consistent with our strategy of growing Iroko through targeted asset acquisitions. We are pleased that with the acquisition of Aggrastat, Iroko's annual revenues will achieve a major milestone by exceeding $100 million on a most recent year basis."
Specifically, Aggrastat is used along with heparin in patients with unstable angina or non-Q wave myocardial infarction to prevent cardiac ischemic events. The combination is also approved in patients with coronary ischemic syndromes undergoing coronary angioplasty or atherectomy to prevent cardiac ischemic complications related to abrupt closure of the treated coronary artery. Aggrastat is also indicated for the treatment of acute coronary syndrome in patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Here's the full performance video of "Girl on Fire" on Glee Season 4 Episode 13: "Diva."
I like the direction that the story is going now. If Rachel, Kurt and Santana are now in New York City — can that be a good core cast for a Glee spinoff? They definitely have a better chance of fulfilling the promise of Smash — a show about people trying to make it to Broadway.

Groundhog Day Discoveries.
At precisely 6:09 AM yesterday morning, my daughter who has the internal biological clock of a Swiss watch, climbed into bed with me as she does every morning setting into motion the series of events that begin each bleary eyed day. Minutes after Lexi catapulted onto my bed landing on my head, my Chocolate Lab Jake barked to be fed, which, of course, woke up my son Jonah who came charging down the hall in a pitter patter more befitting a wild animal than a small child and jumped into my bed which then set off another steady stream of Jake's barking. And within five minutes in near perfect unison, both kids announced that they wanted to go downstairs for breakfast.
So when I turned on the Today Show as I automatically do every day and learned that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, dooming us in the Northeast to another six weeks of winter, I remembered, it was Groundhog Day. Well, that explains everything.
My Monday morning routine of carrying dirty sippy cups to the kitchen, collecting the garbage (Monday is garbage day), throwing in a load of laundry, downloading my nanny on the week ahead's activities and sprinting to a Starbucks before hopping on my train is part of the mundane rituals of my life. Another Monday, another week, and another monthly train pass to buy.
But there are moments in life that do fortunately slow us down and force us to embrace the moment. I tend now to be an embracer, perhaps because I'm convinced that my mommy brain was rewired somewhere between pregnancy number one and breastfeeding number two and has left me lingering in a permanent, mushy mental condition that causes me to spontaneously choke up and cry even at really lame moments. I thought I'd outgrow it, possibly after my baby cravings had passed. But seven plus years into mommyhood and some hostile hormones and maternal brain damage still have me reaching for the tissues.
However this past weekend, it was not my children but my dear friend Gayle's kids who made me pause, appreciate the moment and yes, weep.
Gayle, my college roommate was having a baby shower. It's not that it was Gayle's first baby that made it all poignant because Gayle has seven-year-old twins, Raya and Levi. But because of a wicked combination of infertility and fear, this pregnancy almost didn't happen.
Gayle's son Levi, a beautiful, sweet, blue eyed boy has autism. And Gayle has been fighting for her son every day of his life since he was diagnosed around 15 months old. But the fear of having another son with autism almost quashed the desire to have another baby.
So at the shower, we went around the room in one of those Internet-style shower games of putting beads on a string and making wishes for mom and the unborn. The dad is supposed to take the necklace into the delivery room for good luck. This is the kind of game that at any other friend's shower I would have opted out of and gone to fetch another Mimosa. But for Gayle, the symbolic ritual felt almost spiritual. While all moms pray for a healthy baby, the wishes in this room for a healthy child took on another level of meaning.

Don't go near the water
Don't you think it's sad
What's happened to the water
Our water's going bad
Oceans, rivers, lakes and streams
Have all been touched by man
The poison floating out to sea
Now threatens life on land
Don't go near the water
Ain't it sad
What's happened to the water
It's going bad
Don't go near the water
Don't go near the water
Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath
So let's avoid an ecological aftermath
Beginning with me
Beginning with you
Don't go near the water
To do it any wrong
To be cool with the water
Is the message of this song
Let's all help the water
Right away
Do what we can and ought to
Let's start today

Lake Superior Shoreline
August 16, 2001
Provided by: Martin Ruzek, USRA
Summary authors & editors: Martin Ruzek
The Keweenaw Peninsula of Upper Michigan extends northward into Lake Superior offering year round recreation opporunities for the outdoors enthusiast. The spine of the peninsula is formed from ancient volcanic rock at the margin of a mid-contintent rift zome. Hydrothermal fluids circulating through these basalts deposited large amounts of metallic copper which was extensively mined during the past 150 years. The colorful red and white Jacobsville sandstone in the picture above was deposited much later, and is the source of local building stone. Local sandstone, conglomerate and volcanic rocks transported as glacial till and exposed by beach erosion are visible in the foreground.

Courses offered include jazz improvisation, jazz history, and jazz pedagogy, with ensembles including two big bands and combos. St. Joseph's and Missouri Western's close proximity to a major metro area also offers the students numerous opportunities to perform in the region, whether in university ensembles or their own groups. Since 2010, the MWSU Music Department has offered a Concentration in jazz, open to all music majors.
Director of Jazz Studies: Bob Long, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Missouri Western State University Jazz Ensemble is one of two large jazz ensembles in the music program, and is the premier jazz group of the university. The Jazz Ensemble has a rich and deep heritage of giving outstanding performances across the Midwest. Accomplishments include performing at the Elmhurst Jazz Festival in Chicago, the Wichita Jazz Festival, the Mobile Jazz Festival, as well as performing at the Missouri Music Educators Convention.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Tesla Motors Incorporated fourth quarter 2011 financial results Q&A conference call.
(Operator Instructions). As a reminder, today's conference is being recorded.
Now I would like to turn the program over to Jeff Evanson.
Jeff Evanson
» Tesla Motors CEO Discusses Q2 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
» Revlon's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
We announced our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year shortly after 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time today. The shareholder letter, financial results and webcast of this Q&A are all available at the company's Investor Relations website at ir.teslamotors.com.
Like last quarter, this call will consist of some brief remarks by Elon followed by time for questions and answers. We will conduct the Q&A session live, so if you have not already done so, please log in now if you wish to ask a question.
During the course of this call we may discuss our business outlook and make forward-looking statements. Such statements are only predictions based on management's current expectations. Actual events or results could differ materially due to a number of risks and uncertainties including those mentioned in our most recent Form 10-Q filed with the SEC. Such forward-looking statements represent our views only as of today and should not be relied upon after today. We also disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
And now let me pass the call to Elon.
Elon Musk
Hello. Welcome. I'll just make a few comments.
I'm incredibly excited by the sales and the interest in the Model X. When you introduce a product that is really groundbreaking and innovative, you don't necessarily know how customers are going to react to that, and they reacted incredibly well. From a customer standpoint, the Model X was clearly a homerun and they're (inaudible) with their dollars by putting down reservations on the Model X. And in fact, if anyone on the call is interested in Model X, I recommend putting down a deposit soon because this is by far the bestselling product in Tesla history by a significant margin. So it's, yeah, just great.
So, you know, that's the main thing I wanted to mention. And then the other thing being that we've begun work on our first full Mercedes powertrain. Previously we've done the battery packs and the chargers; now we're doing an entire powertrain for Mercedes. As is Tesla policy, we don't comment on the details of powertrain agreements. We leave that to our strategic partner. So that's (inaudible) when they want to speak in more detail about that.
But with those introductory comments, let's jump in to questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
Thank you. (Operator Instructions).
Our first question comes from Amir Rozwadowski at Barclays Capital. Your line is open.
Amir Rozwadowski – Barclays Capital
Thank you very much, gentlemen. And Elon, on the discussion of the Daimler contract, I realize that you folks don't provide too much color in terms of the partnership, but in the past you have highlighted that you have a number of these discussions underway. Are these the folks that you had suggested could ultimately end up being a pretty significantly sized opportunity? Or should we assume that that is with someone else at the moment?
Elon Musk
Tricky question. I have to break that question part a little bit. There are -- this -- I do expect that this deal will be significant and probably more significant than the sum of all deals we've done with Daimler to date. And that's about all I can say on that front.
And then, are there other fields of significance in discussion? Yes, there are.
Amir Rozwadowski – Barclays Capital
Okay, that's very helpful. And then if I may, you folks had provided some color in terms of where your revenue -- where you expect your revenues to be in 2012. And certainly as I think you've fairly been consistent, that it's going to be fairly back-half-weighted to the launch of the Model S. I was wondering if you could give us some color in terms of the mix of the Model S reservations that you have so far. In terms of running the numbers, it does seem as though you're going to be delivering on the high-end versions first, and I'd love to hear sort of mix potential, what you guys are factoring for ASPs for your deliveries for the year, or any color along those lines.
Elon Musk
Sure. So I do expect that is going to be weighted towards the higher-end versions of the Model S. And necessarily for the signature series which (inaudible) all the options -- the first 1,000 vehicles. But then even beyond that, we're -- we don't deliver regular series with (inaudible) mile range, and then we got to the 230-mile range. And then 160-mile range (inaudible) 2012, early next year. So that's necessarily going to shift the weighting towards the higher-end version of the Model S.

New Scholars are welcomed to the NSP family with a retreat before classes begin that is planned and executed entirely by a team of upperclassmen National Scholars, all of whom volunteer to lead this experience. The retreat includes a variety of group experiences designed to help the "newbies" get to know each other and the expectations of the NSP. Past retreats have included whitewater rafting, a high ropes course, a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator workshop and a book discussion. Past retreat books have been:
Once the Fall semester begins, new Scholars participate in a nationally recognized freshman seminar that sets the stage for the NSP experience with an intellectually rigorous learning experience designed to strengthen Scholars' analytical, speaking and writing skills by exploring a wide range of topics. This Honors College course is designed as a graduate-style seminar: Scholars complete readings prior to class and lead lively discussions on the ideas from the readings.

Cumshot Circus
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Cumshot Circus used to be a relatively small site, but that changed quite a while ago. It underwent a major overhaul and transformed into a massive archive of videos and photos that feature sticky cumshots. It isn't growing anymore, but with its already impressive size that shouldn't be a huge deal.
Projectile jizz is about the only common element, as CumshotCircus is as diverse as you can get. To give you an idea of what I mean, I saw standard one-on-one action, toon chicks getting creamed on by multiple monster cocks and interracial blowjobs. I even saw handicapped people getting it on. In other words, the inclusion of the word "cumshot" doesn't limit scenes to things like creampies, facials or sperm swallowing. Any kind of money shot can make it into the spotlight here.
There are 27,901 videos. You can stream them in an embedded Flash player and download them in MP4s. The best option for each scene will give you good-quality playback. Some scenes also come with a good-quality Windows Media file. They aren't updating anymore, only rotating what's already there.
Now I told you already that there are an almost endless number of categories covered and I'll give you some of examples of my favorites: anal creampies, ass to mouth, cum swapping, double penetration and titty fucking. You also have some creative locations, like on a boat, in an elevator and at a funeral parlor, a restaurant and a retail store.
The 5,057 photo sets offer high-res photos. With that in mind, it's nice to see that you can download the sets in handy Zip files. If you want, you can also view them in a slideshow.
You get lots of ways to find what you want, including filter the results for the place on the body the cum lands (hands, back, ass, face, etc). You can save your favorites, rate the scenes and leave comments. Keyword tags and sorting options as also available.
It's not like you need any extras, but there's a lot more for you to enjoy anyway, like loads of bonus sites and videos as part of your access to the Mega Site Pass network. And, of course, since this is porn, you are going to see lots of cumshots throughout. Overall, Cumshot Circus will keep you busy for a long time to cum. Err... I mean come.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

The K-Tribe used a three run fifth inning to beat Salem 5-1 Wednesday. Kinston (10-15) picked up win number ten this season and split the two game series. A game scheduled on June 13th in Kinston will be the make-up contest for Tuesday night's rain out.
Picking the game up in the bottom of the first inning after rain suspended things on Tuesday night, reliever Tyler Sturdevant had to deal with two-on and one-out. Sturdevant got out of the mini-jam in the first, then pitched a scoreless second. Sturdevant went 1 2/3 innings, giving up one hit. Sturdevant struck out three.
In the top of the second inning, Abner Abreu led off with a single for Kinston. Abreu then stole second base, for his seventh steal in seven attempts this season. Later in the frame, Abreu scored on a two-out, RBI double from catcher Roberto Perez.
Up 1-0, the K-Tribe then brought in starter T.J. House to start with a clean slate in the bottom of the third inning. An error by Kinston shortstop Casey Frawley allowed Salem's Zach Gentile to reach safely. After a ground-out advanced him to third base, Salem tied the score at one thanks to a sacrifice fly by Peter Hissey.
Kinston broke the tie thanks to a Salem error in the top of the fifth. With Dan DeGeorge at second base and two-outs in the inning, Salem third baseman Kolbrin Vitek threw low at first allowing DeGeorge to score. The inning would go south for Salem from there. After a walk to Bo Greenwell, Chase Burnette reached on an error by Salem's second baseman Zach Gentile. Abreu would make the Sox pay as he hammered a double off of the left field wall to score Frawley and Greenwell. Kinston would take a 4-1 lead into the bottom of the fifth inning. Though it wasn't needed, Kinston added insurance in the ninth. Roberto Perez walked to start the frame and a perfectly placed RBI triple to right from Dan DeGeorge brought Perez home, who beat the throw to the plate.
Adam Miller worked the ninth inning for Kinston, making his second appearance of the year since coming out of extended spring training. Miller struck out one, walked one and gave up a hit while not allowing a run. House (1-3) got the win for Kinston, giving up just one hit in six innings. He walked four and struck out four.
Brett Brach will get the start for Kinston on Thursday night, as the K-Tribe opens a four game homestand at Historic Grainger Stadium. It will be a Cinco de Mayo celebration as the first 400 fans, age 21 and up will get free Corona Flip-flops. $1 beers and sodas will also be available throughout the game.

Holders FC Bayern Munich escaped to victory after a schoolboy lapse in concentration and a bad miss by Wayne Rooney wrecked Manchester United F.C.'s hopes of causing a huge Champions League upset at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.
When Manchester United F.C. went ahead in the quarter-final second leg with a spectacular Patrice Evra strike after 57 minutes it seemed an improbable victory was possible but they seemed to be still celebrating when Mario Mandzukic headed the equaliser 22 seconds after the re-start.
Even then Rooney missed a gilt-edged chance but there was no way back after that as FC Bayern Munich eased away to a 3-1 win with Thomas Mueller and the influential Arjen Robben both on target for the hosts who were never totally convincing.
FC Bayern Munich's 4-2 aggregate win kept them on course for a second successive treble and all but put an end to Manchester United F.C.'s miserable first season under David Moyes.
Manchester United F.C. are extremely unlikely to finish in the top four of the Premier League this season and winning the Champions League represented their only realistic hope of qualifying for next season's competition.
"I thought the players did a great job tonight, the only crime was conceding a goal after we scored, 30 seconds afterwards," Moyes, who has experienced a difficult time at Old Trafford since succeeding Alex Ferguson, told reporters.
"It's the sort of thing you learn as a schoolboy. We concentrated so fabulously well throughout the game, the players did their jobs, their positioning and awareness (was good), and to give up that goal at that moment was really disappointing."
Missing the suspended Bastian Schweinsteiger and Javi Martinez in midfielder, FC Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola fielded Toni Kroos, usually a creative player, as a holding midfielder.
As in the first leg at Old Trafford that ended 1-1, FC Bayern Munich totally dominated possession in the first half although they lacked fluency and struggled to create any real openings against a well-drilled Manchester United F.C. side who were always in the game.
Robben was FC Bayern Munich's chief threat, getting into several promising positions after cutting inside on to his left foot in familiar fashion but his efforts were either blocked by defenders or flashed wide.
Manchester United F.C. had one opening when Rooney got clear of the FC Bayern Munich defence but he dithered and failed to notice Shinji Kagawa in an unmarked position as the chance

Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch Ultra Radiance is comfortable and pleasant to wear, according to owners. Reviewers say it's moisturizing, yet lightweight and non-greasy. While fragranced (a negative according to PaulasChoice.com), user reviewers like the tropical scent. The formula also protects well against sunburn. However, there are some concerns about a few potentially harmful ingredients.
Protects against sun but not water. Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch Ultra Radiance is not a waterproof sunscreen. Still, editors didn't find many reports of sunburns among reviewers' feedback. There's even one mention of it being worn in the water and still not getting a burn. Hawaiian Tropic is available in SPFs 15, 30 and 50 and uses active ingredients octocrylene, oxybenzone and avobenzone. In the Environmental Working Group (EWG) database, the SPF 15 gets a protection rating of moderate for UVB protection, but the higher SPFs aren't rated.
Lightweight and tropical-scented. In order to do its job well, a sunscreen has to be comfortable and wearable above all, or it may not be used consistently. Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch Ultra Radiance fits both criteria. Cosmopolitan editors say it's a great moisturizer, while PaulasChoice.com and Bicycling magazine note that it's light enough to be worn even by people who are acne-prone. While PaulasChoice.com and the EWG database dock it points for including fragrances, reviewers say they actually like the tropical fragrances and that they don't irritate skin. Bicycling magazine describes it as a "pina colada scent."

In the brave new world of cloud computing, what is the secret to building great companies? That is the question that will be answered by technology visionary Roman Stanek in his Opening Keynote at SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Expo Europe next week in Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. In the meantime, we bring you here a brief round-up of Stanek's achievements 1997-2009. In reverse order...
May 18, 2009 - Stanek will deliver his keynote in Prague, "Building Great Companies on the Cloud."
April 23, 2009 - Good Data closes a $2.5M Series B round of financing from Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, OATV and General Catalyst, bringing the total now raised to approx $4.5M. Still everything is done through Amazon Web Services, in the cloud.
March 4, 2008 - After a year in stealth development, Stanek and his latest team unveil Good Data Corporation - purveyor of a complete, on-demand business intelligence platform combining analytics, reporting, data warehousing and data integration. Its primary focus is collaborative analytics and Stanek's vision is to use the cloud 100%, so that Goog Data will never need to own a single server. "We believe that sharing and teamwork will allow our users to move past isolated reports and arrive at the true meaning of 'business intelligence.'" Stanek writes in his blog.
January 2006: Systinet is sold to Mercury Interactive/HP for $105M. "We believe that SOA is the next big shift in IT," says Mercury's SVP of Strategy, Zohar Gilad. "It's definitely becoming the next big shift in IT," he adds.
2004: Stepping down from his CEO post at Systinet, Stanek becomes instead the company's Chief Strategy Officer, splitting his time between its U.S. and European operations.
2000: Stanek founds Systinet, with a primary focus on Java development.
1999 - San Jose, CA: NetBeans is bought by Sun Microsystems for $10M.
1997 - Prague, Czech Republic: While studying at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University in Prague, Roman Stanek and some fellow students begin a project known as Xelfi. Later Stanek forms a company around the project and produces commercial versions of what then becomes knows as the NetBeans IDE.
Next week not only Stanek but also Cloud Computing and Virtualization are going to be center stage, 18-19 May, at the Prague Hilton as the Czech Republic plays host to Cloud Computing Expo Europe 2009, co-located with Virtualization Conference Europe 2009 - the first conference outside the USA in SYS-CON's world-beating series of events devoted to the two hottest interlinked topics in Enterprise IT today.
Speakers and attendees alike are traveling to Prague from all over Europe, and indeed many are even flying in from the USA in order to familiarize themselves with where exactly Europe is located on the Cloud/Virtualization spectrum right now. Here is a round-up of speakers, arranged by country of origin.

Funny, so 10 Mio.$ was the price of NetBeans back then... Considering now it may or may not survive the Oracle/Sun merger it is interesting to hear from this guy and his latest ventures. Cloud Computing is another thing, Sun used to bet on recently.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Veterans Memorial Hall will display thru Veterans Day the winner of the Veterans of Foreign Wars national Buddy Poppy display contest.
The display consists of 1,367 paper poppies and represents the Navy destroyer the USS Cole. In October 2000, 17 soldiers died in an attack on the ship in a Yemen harbor; 40 more were injured. It is accompanied by an audio tape describing the events surrounding the attack of the USS Cole, narrated by Chuck Ingles, VFW Roscoe Post 2955 commander, with excerpts from radio broadcasts.
Larry Lowety and other members of Roscoe's VFW Post 2955 have created a display fitting of this national recognition. After more than 200 hours of construction and 1,367 pa¬per poppy flowers, members took the paper poppy flower to new heights.
The Roscoe veterans took first place in district competition then at the state level in June before heading off to the national VFW Convention in Reno, Nev. in July. They raised money through donations from people in the community and from businesses to go to the convention, said poppy chairman Bill Graves.
Veterans Memorial Hall honor's all Veterans and is proud to provide the community this opportunity to see this fine exhibit. Our hours are M-F 9 AM till 4 PM with after hours and weekend tours available upon request.
Questions or for more information call Veterans Memorial Hall at 815.969.1999 . You can also visit their website at www.veteransmemorialhall.com.

TAMA | The son of a couple killed on the Meskwaki settlement in Tama County has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with their deaths.
A release from the Tama County attorney's office put out late Thursday night said Gordon Lasley Jr, 25, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his parents Gordon Lasley Sr. and Kim Lasley.
The criminal complaint said Lasley Jr. told several family members he killed his mother and father with a machete at their home at 669 Meskwaki Road around 9 p.m. Wednesday. Lasley Jr. was located driving a car registered to his mother, Kim, after he told family members he killed his parents.
The complaint said Lasley Jr. had blood on his clothes and that there was blood inside the car from cuts on his hands. Tyler Lasley later found his parents dead in the basement of their home. The machete was was found on the living room couch and the complaint said the injuries appeared to have been caused by an edged weapon.
Meskwaki Nation Police officers were initially called to the scene of a homicide at the home on the settlement late Wednesday night.
A Thursday morning release from the settlement said Meskwaki police found the bodies of Gordon Lasley Sr. and Kim Lasley when they arrived on scene and the married couple appeared to be victims of a homicide. Their son, Gordon Lasley Jr., was brought into custody and Tama County Sheriff Dennis Kucera confirmed he was a suspect Thursday evening.
Tama County Attorney Brent Heeren said Lasley Jr. was arrested by a Tama County deputy sheriff early Thursday and and appeared in court before a magistate Thursday afternoon. He is being held at the Tama County Jail on $2 million bond for two counts of first-degree murder.
He was taken into custody following a joint investigation involving the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation, Tama County Sheriff's Office, Tama police department, Toledo police and the FBI.
FBI Spokeswoman Sandy Breault said the FBI is assisting in the case, adding the FBI typically consults on serious crimes that happen on Indian land.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Pete Deegan said Thursday afternoon he would only confirm the incident is being investigated by both state and federal law enforcement. Deegan declined to comment on what jurisdiction the case will fall under, when that would be determined and whether there was any precedent for how an incident of this nature would be handled.
The release from the settlement said no other details of the homicide are being released until the investigation is complete.
"The Sac and Fox Tribe is a very close community and we are all shocked and saddened by this," Judith Bender, tribal chairwoman, said in a prepared statement. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and all of those who are affected by this horrific event."
Kevin Brezina, a Tama resident, said he had known Lasley Sr. for years.
"They were good parents, what I knew of them," Brezina said. "I was shocked that that could happen."
Online court records indicate Lasley Jr. has a criminal history that includes trespassing, interference with official acts, criminal mischief, intoxication, theft and assault causing bodily injury. The April 2013 assault charge is connected to an incident at an Iowa City bar in which a related Iowa City police complaint said Lasley Jr. was accused of punching a man in the face, breaking his tooth.
The criminal complaint said a public defender would be appointed for Gordon Lasley, Jr., and a preliminary hearing was set for 9 a.m. Feb. 14.

My Thoughts On The Game.
My Thoughts On The Game.
posted at 8/13/2010 12:31 AM EDTI'm re-watching some of the game, and my main focus is on the defense.The offense is what it is - it's great and this offense will be special.As for the defense. We look much improved from last season, but there's still some work to do.Gerard Warren is an upgrade over Jarvis Green at DE. He's a big body that fills lanes, and he always pushing the pocket. Mike Wright held his own, however you'd expect Ty Warren to play there when he's ready to return.The LB's look great. Spikes is a playmaker, and him and Mayo will be all over the place making plays. Banta-Cain looks solid and was consistently pushing the pocket when rushing the passer, and he making good plays in the running game.Murrell looked pretty good too. He looks to be solid when rushing the passer, and he's often causing issues when he's rushing, and he isn't bad in the running game. He has a nose for the ball, and he held his ground and set the edge. Still though, the question is who will play that position. Will it be Murrell? Will it be Cunningham? Will it be Ninkovich? Who knows, but right now I'm liking Murrell, and whoever it may be, they're an upgrade over Adalius.As for the DB's. They look pretty good. Bodden didn't play, but he'll be back in time for the season opener, and we all know that he's a good player. Darius Butler looks good, and McCourty looked very, very good. Chung was always flying around, and Meriweather looked solid.Lastly, the communication seemed much better. Everyone seemed to be on the same page, and things looked in sync.Overall, the run defense looks improved. They had a lot of bodies flying around, and the physicality looked good and the athleticism of this defense was evident. The pass defense still has room to improve, but the pass-rush looks to be more consistent, and the DB's are clearly more athletic.Let's no kid ourselves - we just played the world champions, and when the two 1st team teams were on the field, we outplayed them. Of course our passing D is going to look a little off against the Saints - they have a great passing game, but we did well nonetheless.All in all, this offense is going to be special, and this defense is young, athletic, and much improved over last year.This team has the ability to go far.
Re: My Thoughts On The Game.
posted at 8/13/2010 1:38 AM EDTI totally agree. If this young defense can start solid like this, it'll build their confidence and they won't be playing like rookies and second year players. Spikes looked like a thumper next to Mayo. McCourty looked strong and definitely held his own (I see Ty Law when I look at him, I don't know why). Chung played aggressive and the d-line looked stout. Where was Cunningham tonight though? I was really looking forward to his debut...
Re: My Thoughts On The Game.
posted at 8/13/2010 1:42 AM EDTThey'll only improve once they get healthier.
Welker and Ty Warren loom as major absences.
Re: My Thoughts On The Game.
posted at 8/13/2010 2:39 AM EDThow was Maroney?
Re: My Thoughts On The Game.
posted at 8/13/2010 4:51 AM EDTRunning game, Connolly's blocking in particular, looked much improved.
Re: My Thoughts On The Game.
posted at 8/13/2010 5:26 AM EDTMaroney was ok in limited action. As for Welker they weren't going to use him last night, maybe game 4. He'll be just fine for the season.
The first stringer D did a great job on Brees, pressuring him at times. Brady moved the ball efectively, and the OL played well. Hernandez looked a bit sketchy. Edelman was Welker jr. again.
Re: My Thoughts On The Game.
posted at 8/13/2010 6:39 AM EDTI was pleased with the first-team defense.
The Saints had that one long drive that, A--would have been stopped at the Pats' 40-yard line were this a regular season game and Payton had more to lose by going for it on 4th and 6 (in the regular season you have to believe that he takes a 5-yard delay of game penalty and tries to punt the ball inside the 10 for field position); and B--would have been stopped anyway were it not for the "Polian Rule" call on Butler (it was the right call, but let's face it, that was a lousy throw by Brees and, bump or no bump, the receiver was never going to catch it--classic "Polian Rule" call there that probably doesn't draw a flag six years ago).
The run defense looked stout. The Saints fooled them on that one 3rd and 10 draw play to Reggie Bush on their TD drive that resulted in a first down, but otherwise the run defense was strong.
The pass rush was good on the first two series, not so much on the TD drive, but then again, they were facing one of the best passing offenses in the NFL last night, and N.O. had to "dink and dunk" their way down the field for their lone score of the first half.
Didn't see Cunningham out there at all. Did I miss something or was he just invisible out there? That's not good, but then again, he's a rookie and we can't expect miracles.
Murrell looked good--could he be this year's 2001 version of Mike Vrabel, an unheralded, underused free agent who comes out of nowhere to become a key figure on defense? We can only hope.
Liked the play of the D-Line. There is good depth there, and if Ty Warren is out for the year (the words "hip injury" have to be a concern), they should still be OK there.
The secondary looked solid. When they played New Orleans last year, big play after big play occurred. Last night every receiver, even the ones who caught passes, were covered pretty well, and more importantly, the tackling was terrific--no big YAC yards for the Saints' receivers. That's been a deficiency with the NE secondary, really, since they last won a Super Bowl (even in the 18-1 season).
All in all, I have no complaints.
Oh, and I think I felt "it" move watching the Pats' offense actually try to pound the ball on the ground inside the red zone with multi-tight end sets. THAT'S the way you finish drives folks. Enough of this 4- and 5-wide nonsense on 60% of the plays. The passing game will be good no matter how they line up; they have to work on that ground game, and last night they did, and it worked.
Solid all-around effort for a first pre-season game IMO.
Re: My Thoughts On The Game.

So glad football is back, even though its only pre-season. I agree with all the comments above, but does anyone know why BJGE was running with the first team instead of Maroney? Certainly not upset about it, but just curious...

Posted by cb25
My guess (and it's just that) is that this is a make or break year for BJGE and BB wants to give him the chance to show what he can do. They may have to make some hard decisions at RB and they need all the data they can get. Again, just a guess.
Re: My Thoughts On The Game.
posted at 8/13/2010 7:53 AM EDTI just don't see BB carrying 5 RBs again. I think he may be trying to see if Law Firm can cut it, and maybe drop Sammy or Fred. Honestly, that is alot of roster spots for guys who dont play special teams. I say keep the young guys, and Kevin, drop Sammy and Fred, run Maroney primarily, and if he breaks/fails then put in BJGE and stick with that. Kevin on 3rd downs/change up snaps. I loved what I saw last night, guys making plays. I missed that lately.
Re: My Thoughts On The Game.
posted at 8/13/2010 7:55 AM EDTsome additional observations.....
the young o-lineman seem to be solid running the ball...
sergio brown and kyle arrington can really bring the wood....
brandon spikes will start next to mayo but mckenzie looked great in2nd half
the goaline formation with 3 te'sand williams at fullback...a new dimension
mccourty can really run back kicks and edelman is a star in the making.
people should listen to russ more...he has been pretty consistant with his predictions and after last night i see no reason to disagree...

The automaker expects to have Organic Light in production vehicles within three years. However, it won't replace more than a handful of lights at first. Existing OLEDs aren't bright enough to take over from brake lights, headlights and indicators; for now, they'll be complements to LEDs and lasers. Even with that limitation, though, the power- and space-saving advantages could be important for the next wave of electric vehicles.

The key driver:strong employment growth in service industries coupled with unemployment at a30-year low. In fact, the unemployment rate, according to the Bureau of LaborStatistics, declined to 4 percent in November. No wonder the InformationTechnology Association of America (ITAA) predicted last year that half the needed jobs in information technology - almost 850,000 - would go unfilled in2000, a shortage of one job in every dozen.
Nor does thesituation look likely to change soon.
The BLS'projections for the American work force between 1998 and 2008 call for anincrease in total employment of 14 percent, with service industries accountingfor almost all the job growth. During the same period, the supply of workers isprojected to increase by only 12 percent.
Statistics likethese have built a market for products that aid recruiters. "We're seeinggrowth in this category simply because companies have a need to hire people andautomate broken processes," said International Data Corporation researchmanager Andrew Goloboy. IDC sees the overall category of workforce managementtools - including applications forhiring, employing and retaining workers - rising from $1 billion in 1999 to $4billion in 2003.
One huge factor isthe number of résumés generated by online recruitment. Some 2.5 million ofthem are now online. Web sites like Monster.com, where recruiters create jobpostings that generate these résumés, have led to an explosion in theirnumbers. But so have career Web sites run by corporations. A recent Recruitsoft/iLogosResearch report finds 100 percent of Fortune 500 companies will have careerssections, post jobs, and accept applications on their corporate Web site by2002. And while while 76 percent of Fortune 500 companies currently post jobs ontheir corporate sites, fewer than 10 percent use hiring management systems tohandle the flow.
And what a flow itis. The average life expectancy of a hot résumé, says Recruitsoft, is a mere72 hours. Nor is it just the speed of turnover that's boosting the ATS market.Because they're easy to post and disseminate, online résumés often wind upscattershot through hundreds of corporations. "They're being broadcast allover the world," says Michael Foster, CEO of AIRS, a firm specializing intools to help companies search for qualified people. "These firehose streamsof résumés demand systems to filter them out and manage the result."
With 48 percent ofcorporate recruiters posting their job opportunities on the Web last year,according to Watson Wyatt Worldwide, the trick is to solicit résumés frompeople with the right skills, to manage that electronic information and track itthrough the hiring process.
For onlinerecruitment is here to stay. Forrester Research believes it will grow from a$1.2 billion industry to $7.1 billion by 2005. Recruiters will increase theironline spending 52 percent in the next three years, mainly at the expense ofprint advertising and search agency fees. With numbers like these, expect to seea continuing demand for résumé management and application tracking services.They'll give companies a leg up on finding and managing job applicants whoseworth can only continue to climb.

How to Play Pentatonic Scales
The Pentatonic Scale (a scale which has 5 notes) is a relatively simple scale, which, if learned, can greatly benefit your playing and general music knowledge.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Begin by learning to a play an instrument. A basic grasp of music theory, although helpful, is not entirely necessary.
2The scale pattern of a pentatonic scale is relatively simple. For a major pentatonic scale, this is: whole tone, whole tone, minor third (3 half tones), whole tone, and minor third (3 half tones). The scale pattern of a (minor) pentatonic scale is slightly different: whole tone, semitone, whole tone, whole tone, minor third (3 half tones), and semitone.
3For example in the key of C major, the (major) Pentatonic Scale is C - D - E - G - A - C (8va / octave). In the key of C Minor, the Pentatonic Scale is C - D - Eb - F - G - Bb - C (8va).
4To play one octave of the C major Pentatonic scale on the guitar, you'll have to play the third fret of the A String (C), 5th Fret of the A string (D), 2nd Fret of the D String (E), 5th Fret of the D String (G), and finally Fifth Fret of the G String (C). The second, third, or fourth octave of the scale will follow a slightly different pattern, using the same notes. There are a variety of ways to achieve this, the best of which being a pattern that stays in the same position or requires little movement.
5With other instruments, you will play the same notes, but obviously (unless you are a bass player or are playing an instrument tuned in fourths, with the lowest pitched string being E) not follow the fretting methods. When playing transposing instruments (i.e. trumpet, alto saxophone, etc.), be sure to transpose to concert pitch.
6Practice playing the scale with a metronome. Begin slowly, once you master it, increase the tempo and go for it!
7You can also play the following exercise to increase your efficiency :
- C - D - E , D - E - G , E - D - G; with the starting note (in this case being C) being the root note or first note of the exercise / pentatonic scale which you wish to practice.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- If you play guitar, you can practice this on either an acoustic or electric; it does not matter which you choose. Although, you may find it enjoyable to play on the electric guitar given the vast array of sounds one can achieve.
- Do not push yourself. If your fingers hurt, or start to bleed, stop playing and take a break.

Hey all,
I was wondering why the United States is participating in air shows abroad but cancelling air shows at home? Is it simply a "look what we got" type of deal or is it just cheaper to fly a couple planes in an airshow abroad instead of hosting one? This particular picture of a B-1 at the UAE air show piqued my interest:
