Changes in the Charitable Deduction Don't Have to Mean Losses for Charities
It has now become a yearly ritual that members of Congress and White House officials offer proposals to limit or even eliminate charitable tax deductions.
And, as a part of the ritual, nonprofit leaders spring up as fast as they can to protest that the changes will stifle charitable giving. Vikki Spruill, head of the Council on Foundations, captured the reaction of many in response to the latest round of proposals: "This is an 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' situation" she told The Chronicle.
Perhaps I am overly optimistic, but it's possible that tax reform could offer the potential to expand charitable giving, or at least not cause the decline that many fear.
After all, the current system isn't perfect. People who itemize are the only ones who can get a tax break for giving. This leaves a lot of taxpayers without a tax incentive to give. In fact, in 2011 (the most recent year for which IRS data are available), only 32 percent of people who filed tax forms claimed an itemized deduction, meaning the majority of Americans weren't giving due to tax motivations. Admittedly, many people who don't itemize have low incomes and thus less of an ability to make donations. However, even just looking at returns for people who earn more than $50,000, one third were not eligible to claim a charitable deduction.
And among those taxpayers who do itemize, not all get an equally generous tax benefit from giving. A $100 charitable donation by a taxpayer in the lowest income bracket who pays 10 percent of earnings in taxes can save $10, while the same donation would yield a tax reward of $39.60 for an individual in the highest income (39.6% tax) bracket. With the limited reach and uneven value of the tax break, it's clear there is room to improve on the current system of incentives for charitable giving.
Of course, the key question is what type of tax overhaul could achieve that goal. Given the scale of the charitable deduction (representing over $174-billion in deductions in 2011), it is a natural target as lawmakers think about changing the system. While some lawmakers were at one point ready to eliminate the deduction, nobody seems interested in going that far.
Now lawmakers are thinking about new ways to encourage people to give while minimizing losses to federal coffers.
For instance, take the proposal put forth by the House Ways and Means chairman, Rep. Dave Camp, which would allow people to deduct only the amount beyond 2 percent of income they give to charity. The notion of such a "floor" is not entirely new (that approach is already in place for other deductions). The premise is that if we want to provide tax relief for certain behavior, it's smart just to reward the excess amounts, not the normal things people would do without a tax incentive.
Since people in each income group currently give over 2 percent of income to charity on average (with a 3 percent overall average), the 2-percent limit may simply reflect a giving norm, with the tax code providing additional rewards for giving beyond the norm. Not to say that 2 percent is the magic number, but a reasonable floor may not be that harmful to giving incentives.
Or consider President Obama's proposed 2015 budget. He would limit tax savings on charitable donations to 28 percent. So, for example, a person in the top tax bracket could claim only a $28 tax saving from a $100 donation (rather than the $39.60 currently). Though the proposal clearly reduces the incentive for the wealthiest, I am surprised those opposing it are not equally outraged at the implicit cap already in place for lower-income taxpayers who only get a $10 tax saving from the same donation. The reduction of tax incentives for the highest income brackets in the Obama plan might be more palatable if it were part of a broader plan to equalize giving incentives by expanding them for those in the lowest income brackets.
Borrowing from both the Obama and Camp proposals, one could envision a circumstance in which the tax deduction for donations is replaced with a limited tax credit. For charitable donations above a certain percentage of income (say, 2 percent), donors could directly reduce their taxes (say, by 25 percent of donations above the threshold) regardless of their tax bracket. Provided the threshold is not too high and the tax credit is not too small, current tax incentives for giving could be largely retained while new incentives could be added thanks to a tax credit being available equally to all taxpayers (i.e., it is not tied to income and not just for those who itemize deductions).
I can't say for sure how this would affect giving, nor am I advocating for this specific reform. But I offer it as a way to suggest that nonprofits should more seriously consider proposals that change how today's charitable deduction works. If we take as a given that an overhaul is on the horizon, it is fair to say that not all changes are alike.
By talking about new ways to approach the giving incentive, rather than simply insisting the charitable deduction be left "as is," nonprofits may end up with a workable compromise or even better: a world in which charitable giving incentives are made stronger.

About the Book
What Does It Mean To Grow Up Chicana/o?When I was growing up, I never read anything in school by anyone who had a "Z" in their last name. This anthology is, in many ways, a public gift to that child who was always searching for herself whithin the pages of a book.
from the Introduction by Tiffany Ana Lopez
Louie The Foot Gonzalez tells of an eighty-nine-year-old woman with only one tooth who did strange and magical healings...
Her name was Dona Tona and she was never taken seriously until someone got sick and sent for her. She'd always show up, even if she had to drag herself, and she stayed as long as needed. Dona Tona didn't seem to mind that after she had helped them, they ridiculed her ways.
Rosa Elena Yzquierdo remembers when homemade tortillas and homespun wisdom went hand-in-hand...
As children we watched our abuelas lovingly make tortillas. In my own grandmother's kitchen, it was an opportunity for me to ask questions within the safety of that warm room...and the conversation carried resonance far beyond the kitchen...
Sandra Cisneros remembers growing up in Chicago...
Teachers thought if you were poor and Mexican you didn't have anything to say. Now I know, "We've got to tell our own history...making communication happen between cultures."

On July 8th 1618, Ben Jonson set out walking from London. Over the next few months, he traveled 400 miles on foot until he reached Edinburgh on September 5th. To commemorate the epic voyage, a team of researchers is re-enacting the walk online by updating a dedicated blog, Twitter page, and Facebook profile with a series of posts corresponding to dates, locations and occurrences Jonson experienced along the way. All this sounds grand enough, but I'll be really impressed when somebody truly re-enacts Jonson's mock-epic poem about paddling London's disgusting Fleet Ditch: "On The Famous Voyage."

Richard Matheson eBooks
Richard Matheson is an American fantasy and science fiction author. Born in 1926, he grew up in Brooklyn. Before studying at the University of Missouri, he served in World War II as an infantry soldier.
Born of Man and Woman, Matheson's first short story, was published in 1950. The story launched his writing career, and over the following twenty years, he would publish dozens of short stories. His stories combined elements of horror, science fiction, humor, and fantasy, with many blending the genres.
During the same period, Matheson also wrote television screenplays including fourteen episodes of The Twilight Zone. He also wrote several TV movies, including The Night Stalker. He won an Edgar Award for The Night Stalker in 1973. Matheson has written twenty movies since 1957 and over thirty television screenplays since 1959.
In 1953, Matheson's first novel was published. Someone is Bleeding was followed by Fury on Sunday in the same year. The following year, he published one of his most famous and most adapted novels, I Am Legend.
Many of Matheson's novels, including 1956's The Shrinking Man and 1958's A Stir of Echoes, were also adapted for film. His nearly thirty novels have covered a variety of genres. His 1960 novel, The Beardless Warriors, was an autobiographical novel based on his service in World War II.
Matheson continues to write, and has recently published a novel and several short story collections. He has also written the screen adaptations of many of his stories and novels.

In hockey, the women's and men's CIS championships expand from six to eight teams and move from a pool-play format to a single-elimination competition, including quarter-finals, semifinals and final.
A bronze-medal match – which has always been played on the women's side - also returns to the men's tournament for the first time since a two-year tryout in 2003 and 2004. However, only the women's championship will include a consolation round (semifinals and fifth-place game). The duration of both tourneys remains four days.
The six-team, two-pool format had been in place in CIS hockey since 1998 – the year the women's game was added to the CIS program. Before 1998, the men's season had culminated with a Final Four for 10 years (1988-1997), while various formats had been used prior to 1988.
2015 & 2016 men: 4 regional association champions (Canada West, OUA West, OUA East, AUS), 1 host (StFX in 2015 / Saint Mary's in 2016), 1 assigned berth to Canada West, 1 assigned berth to OUA, 1 assigned berth to AUS.
Glenn McDonald wrote:"There will be two distinct casualties and all I can say is I hope it's the seventh and eighth seed," Saint Mary's Huskies head coach Trevor Stienburg said in an interview Tuesday.
"I would feel awful for anybody who lost the first game, and it's very easy to do. I think it's very unfair to have a team fly in all the way from Alberta and they could be gone in one game.
"You have to respect the decision. We'll try it out and see what happens. But no true hockey people are happy with it."
Acadia head coach Darren Burns, who guided the Atlantic conference champion Axemen to last week's University Cup in Saskatoon, said he "doesn't have any objections" to the format change.
"I know some people are concerned about a lose-and-you're-out scenario," Burns said. "It seems to work with NCAA basketball. They get a lot of hype around it."
Acadia lost 4-2 to the Windsor Lancers in its first game at last week's nationals. The Axemen needed to beat the host Saskatchewan Huskies by at least three goals in their next game to even have a shot at playing in the championship final. They ended up losing 3-2.
"If you lose once now, you're already behind the 8-ball," Burns said. "I don't think this new format deviates from that too much."
Chris Cochrane wrote: But I'm wondering if too much attention is being focused on tournament format changes and not enough on what has become the real challenge for market-driven CIS sports.
That is the lack of effective promotion.
Why is it that the CIS offers the highest calibre of amateur hockey in Canada, yet in many areas struggles to meet the attendance numbers that would normally be associated with junior A hockey?
Why, in such a hockey-fixated nation, do CIS programs not better capitalize on the high-profile status of former major junior players for promotional reasons?
Why do many university officials passively accept that such a strong product as CIS men's hockey isn't being properly promoted in the sports marketplace or the local community, yet do little or nothing to help correct that situation?
Neate Sager wrote:Sportsnet, with a media partnership that runs through 2018-19, is committed to giving university sports a bigger platform. The network's early returns have been lukewarm, though. English-language viewership for football's Vanier Cup in on Sportsnet 360 late November was about 65 per cent lower than it was for the 2012 championship that was aired on TSN's main channel as part of its 2012 Grey Cup coverage. At least there is a willingness to try something semi-halfway radical to break outside of the traditional CIS nice. It announced on Thursday that is going to pack its four basketball and hockey championships into the second week of March, with the hockey tournaments also adopting hoops' Final 8 format as previously reported by Eh Game.

As the Twitterverse is indicating, today's passing of Ice technician maestro Shorty Jenkins – at age 77 – is being met with sadness and some amazing memories.
Our 2008 blogpost first reported his initial hospitalization and sadly, from that day forward, the curling world has steadily heard less and less from one of its favourite sons.
The Shorty Jenkins Classic, the Brockville, Ont. event that is a mainstay on the World Curling Tour, is still going strong – and there's no doubt the September 2014 edition will be an extra-special tribute to the man who loved to wear pink.
That blogpost, above, also provided a mailing address in Trenton, Ont. where friends and fans could send messages of support. Today, that address can receive messages of great memories.
What are some of your memories of Shorty? Write in the "Comments" section below…

AimWe assessed the management and outcomes of non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients randomly assigned to fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided management or angiography-guided standard care.Methods and ResultsWe conducted a prospective, multicentre, parallel group, 1:1 randomised, controlled trial in 350 NSTEMI patients with ≥1 coronary stenosis ≥30% of the lumen diameter assessed visually (threshold for FFR measurement) (NCT01764334). Enrolment took place in 6 UK hospitals from October 2011 – May 2013. FFR was disclosed to the operator in the FFR guided-group (n=176). FFR was measured but not disclosed in the angiography-guided group (n=174). FFR ≤0.80 was an indication for revascularisation by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). The median (IQR) time from the index episode of myocardial ischaemia to angiography was 3 (2, 5) days. For the primary outcome, the proportion of patients treated initially by medical therapy was higher in the FFR-guided group than in the angiography-guided group (40 (22.7%) vs. 23 (13.2%), difference 9•5% (95% CI 1.4%, 17.7%), p=0.022). FFR disclosure resulted in a change in treatment between medical therapy, PCI or CABG in 38 (21.6%) patients (Figures 2 & 3). At 12 months, revascularisation remained lower in the FFR-guided group (79.0% vs. 86.8%, difference 7.8% (-0.2%, 15.8%), p=0.054). There were no statistically significant differences in health outcomes and quality of life between the groups (Figure 4).ConclusionIn NSTEMI patients, angiography-guided management was associated with higher rates of coronary revascularisation compared with FFR-guided management. A larger trial is necessary to assess health outcomes and cost effectiveness.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Voyage of the Venetian Merchant Burger
Mediterranean Scallopini Patty.
2 lbs. Sliced Top Round, 1/16 inch thick, against grain.
1 ½ Cup Sutter Homes White Zinfandel.
¼ Cup Worcestershire sauce.
¼ Cup Balsalmic vinigar
2 Tablespoons freshly grated tangerine zest.
2 Tablespoon fresh rosemary.
6 Cloves raw garlic
4 Tablespoons brown sugar.
½ teaspoon salt.
1 tablespoon of ground black pepper.
Far East Bean Curd Salsa
1 block of silken or soft textured Tofu.
4 stalks of cleaned celery.
6 Tablespoon Sesame oil.
4 Peeled garlic cloves.
½ ounce Rice Wine Vinegar.
½ Teaspoon Salt.
¼ Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper.
Additional Ingredients
12 Pieces of pre-baked puff pastry squares.
6 slices of Brie cheese.
• Have your butcher thinly slice the top round 1/16th of an inch or you can slice it thinly by hand using a sharp knife, cutting against the grain. Once sliced, cover and refrigerate. Using a leaner cut of beef allows for better patty adhesion, while the marinating process compensates for the lower fat percentage, ensuring moistness and flavor. • Next make the marinade/basting sauce. Combine the White Zinfandel, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, tangerine zest, rosemary, garlic cloves, brown sugar, salt and black pepper in a food processor and process until smooth. Retain ½ cup for basting, cover and set aside. Gently mix the remaining majority of marinade in the sliced beef, cover and refrigerate. • Pre-heat the gas grill on medium high. • While the beef is marinating, prepare the Far East Bean Curd Salsa. Combine the tofu, cleaned celery, sesame oil, garlic, rice wine vinegar, salt and pepper in a food processor and process until a smooth consistency is achieved, cover and refrigerate. • Next form the patties. Take a handful of marinated sliced beef and gently form into 6 patties, place on a pan. • Once the grill is preheated, brush the grates with vegetable oil, gently place the patties on the grill grates, spoon some of the basting sauce on top of each patty. Grill for 3-5 minutes, turn just once, basting the other side and grill another 3-5 minutes or until done to your preference. • During the last minutes of grilling, place the pre-baked puff pastry squares on the outer grates of the grill, top the scaloppini patties with the Brie and allow the puff pastry to crisp while the Brie is melted. • Liberally apply some of the Far East Bean Curd Salsa on 6 of the puff pastry squares, followed by the scaloppini patty, top the patty with some more salsa, cover with puff pastry and serve. MAKES 6 BURGERS.
The concept of creating a "scaloppini type patty" instead of a compressed ground meat patty, came to me as I was trying to infuse texture to my burger as well as flavor. So in fact, this recipe which is inspired by the travels of Venetian Merchants, such as Marco Polo, is a true culinary journey to be discovered!

Even the stars lose their cool sometimes!
Charlie Sheen's 2011 meltdown might have been the most memorable. Not only did the former Two and a Half Men star admit to substance abuse and blast the show's creator Chuck Lorre in a series of interviews, he also coined the phrases "winning," "Tiger blood" and "Adonis DNA."
In March, the actor's antics proved to be too much and he was fired from the hit CBS show. (Ashton Kutcher went on to replace him.)
But Sheen wasn't the only star to freak out in the past year. Whitney Houston, Gerard Depardieu and Alec Baldwin all had airplane meltdowns, while Real Housewives stars Teresa Giudice and Taylor Armstrong lost their cool in front of reality TV cameras.
Tell Us: Which star had the biggest meltdown of 2011?

Mayor Paul Soglin will help Madison celebrate national Food Day today by holding the first meeting of the Food Policy Council, which has a goal of improving Madison's food system.
According to a statement, Food Day takes place annually on Oct. 24. It said the Food Policy Council is made up of diverse stakeholders who examine and give input on how to improve the local food system.
"With the issues of poverty and poor food access in our underserved neighborhoods, establishing a food policy council to make critical decisions in regards to our food system is an exciting and necessary step forward," Soglin said in the statement.
Ald. Scott Resnick, District 8, said Food Day is about healthy eating, making healthy choices and focusing on food and its relationship with poverty. The day is meant to create awareness about what healthy lifestyles are and how it impacts the at-risk parts of the community, he said.
Resnick said to achieve a healthier community, Madison needs to tackle the issues surrounding poverty.
He encouraged students to participate in Food Day by thinking about the awareness that surrounds food and take a moment to respect that while students have an array of healthy options available to them, not everyone in the community has those options.
Some neighborhoods in Madison do not have access to a grocery store, Resnick said.
He said Madison Fresh Market recently introduced an innovative, sustainable alternative to traditional grocery stores. Madison Fresh Market introduced the Freshmobile, a bus that brings fresh produce to Madison communities and began running last summer.
Resnick said he supports Food Day and the awareness it creates, though he noted the day could be better celebrated if students and other Madisonians were able to have the day off from work and school.
"[Food Day is] a way the city can help promote healthy lifestyle choices," Resnick said. "It creates awareness."
Mark Woulf, the city's alcohol policy coordinator, said the Food Policy Council is comprised of members of the food community, which includes people who farm, grow, produce, distribute, prepare and compost food. The council will make critical decisions on food policy, he said.
Woulf added Madison has been considered a leader in the local food movement, because more than one percent of food in Madison is produced locally, a percentage higher than the national average. Unlike other cities, he said Madison did not have a coherent food movement or a clear, set agenda on food policy, and that the Food Policy Council will address this issue.
Similar councils in other places have taken actions such as passing moratoriums to restrict where fast food restaurants can be located in cities, requiring corner stores to allocate a certain amount of shelf space to fresh produce and improving incentive programs to use food stamps at farmers markets, Woulf said.
Woulf said Madison's Food Policy Council will focus on providing incentives for food stamp use at farmers markets, look at zoning to restrict fast food restaurants and establish community gardens in public parks.

I think we've all heard stories about a startup video and online fundraising campaign that launches a small business or creative artist's latest project. They're just the type of populist, bootstrapping stories we all love. A personal favorite is one my husband ran across a year ago: Dollar Shave Club. (Yeah, its Friday, so go ahead and watch all the videos in this link.) He's been a member ever since. Not every business is ultimately looking for $1 million in seed capital from a venture firm, though. Often, businesses are simply looking for a bit of crowdfunding to help them reach a more immediate milestone.
Sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo are helping businesses raise the money they need by appealing to the masses, which sometimes means their current and potential customers. One active campaign is for local business DC Access. The wireless Internet provider (and provider of Hill Ads, the online advertising network for many local blogs, including The Hill is Home), is raising money on Indiegogo to help offset expenses related to moving their business from their home to a recently purchased office building at 1504 Pennsylvania Ave, SE. After 10 years of working out of their house, the company is making the leap in their expansion and using Indiegogo to help them "take back [their] home" by covering costs related to moving and outfitting their new space, which includes meeting space available to rent for other small businesses, as well as to improve service for existing customers and expand their coverage area. Special perks for contributors reflect the roots and commitment DC Access has to Capitol Hill, such as special guided tours of Congressional Cemetery, a wine tasting with Schneider's of Capitol Hill and VIP events with Councilmember Tommy Wells and historian Robert Pohl (also THIH's own Lost Capitol Hill blogger). That campaign ends this Tuesday.
Last November, Rose's Luxury, a restaurant coming soon to Barrack's Row, went to Kickstarter to raise $20,000 to help with some of their design and renovation costs. Their campaign closed with $25,000 in the bank. They did it by offering special perks ranging from a fist bump to a multi-course tasting dinner for you and eight friends cooked in your home. The Million Puppet March, in Lincoln Park last November, raised more than $6,000 to help with their costs, too.
As a small business owner myself, and as a consultant to other small businesses, plenty of business owners and potential "investors" have asked me if this is legit. It is. Not everything you see is likely to seem worth your hard earned cash, but I would happily jump at the chance to help fund a project that's meaningful to me. Especially one in my own neighborhood. But keep your expectations in line with the current reality of crowdfunding. There are all kinds of creative perks to be had for participating in a campaign, such as the VIP-style experiences offered by DC Access and Rose's Luxury. So think of it as investing in a unique experience that happens to help out a local business. For projects asking to fund manufactured products, you can often be one of the first to own the latest and greatest gadget — like this LED iPhone armband created in DC.
What you cannot do is actually own part of the company. Yet. The Securities and Exchange Commission is, however, in the process of writing rules for how small businesses can offer securities direct to the public without jumping through the myriad of expensive hoops and paperwork burdens required of public companies and for IPOs. Funding platforms like Indiegogo and Kickstarter want to be a conduit for those investments, so in the future you may be able to own your own unique piece of Capitol Hill.

Raleigh, NC Feb. 19, 2013 – During the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse on May 12, 1864, a Union soldier ripped the battle flag of the 1st Regiment North Carolina State Troops from its staff during hand-to-hand combat with the color-bearer. The flag's missing left border attests to the ferocious fighting in the Virginia battle.
This historic banner is part of the Confederate flag collection, one of the nation's largest, at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh. Conservation of these banners requires expensive, specialized textile treatment. To help fund this need, the museum has formed a partnership with the 26th Regiment North Carolina Troops, Reactivated, the state's largest Civil War re-enactment group.
During a Jan. 19 presentation at the Museum of History, the 26th Regiment unveiled the newly conserved colors of the 1st Regiment North Carolina State Troops. This represents the seventh flag the organization has helped conserve for the museum.
"This flag is a silent witness of one of the most horrific days of battle in the Civil War, but it has not been seen by the public for nearly 100 years," said Jackson Marshall, Associate Director of the Museum of History. "Once again, the museum owes a debt of gratitude to the 26th Regiment members for donating the funds needed to conserve and exhibit the flag."
Organized in Warrenton, the 1st Regiment participated in many of the major engagements fought by the Army of Northern Virginia. The regiment suffered enormous casualties at the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse. During the fighting, Pvt. George W. Harris of the Pennsylvania Volunteers seized the 1st Regiment's battle flag carried by color-bearer Sgt. John Reams of Northampton County. Harris received a Medal of Honor for his deed — Reams was captured and imprisoned in Maryland and New York until he was paroled when the war ended.
The 1st Regiment's flag was sent to the U.S. War Department in Washington, D.C. It was returned to North Carolina in 1905 and generally kept in a storage vault awaiting conservation.
"The 26th Regiment is proud to work with the Museum of History in its conservation efforts, and we look forward to continuing this partnership far into the future," noted Skip Smith, Colonel of the 26th Regiment. "We encourage all North Carolinians to support the museum and to share our state's history with their children."
The Museum of History plans to feature the 1st Regiment flag in the exhibit gallery A Call to Arms as part of the Civil War Sesquicentennial commemoration.
Adds Smith, "We hope that descendants of the 1st Regiment will come see their ancestors' battle flag when it is in the exhibit."
For more information about the N.C. Museum of History, call (919) 807-7900, access the museum's website or connect with the museum on Facebook and Twitter. The N.C. Museum of History is a unit of the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources. For more information on North Carolina arts, history and culture, visit Cultural Resources online.

drop of a bullet vertically vs. horizontally
My physics teacher told us that if you drop a bullet and fire a bullet horizontally that they will fall at the same rate and hit the ground at the same time. somehow I don't believe this. if this is true how can a bullet travel hundreds of yards? can anyone explain this to me.
I dont believe it either but how hell ya gonna prove it
Gravity is pulling both bullets down at the same rate (assuming both bullets are the same). Both bullets should hit the ground at the same time, if the ground is level, and if the fired bullet was fired parallel to the ground. The difference in impact points is due to the explosive energy from the gun powder driving the fired bullet forward as it falls.
A bullet begins to fall the instant it leaves the muzzle. That's why the line of bore is higher than the line of sight. Where they cross is what the gun is sighted in for. However there are other things to consider. The main one is barrel rise due to recoil (especially in a handgun). But these are interior ballistics that effect things before the bullet exits the bore. Once its out, gravity takes over and is boss.
If both bullets are exactly the same. Say a .224" 50gr Hornady V-max. If you shoot a bullet and drop it at the same time yes they will hit the ground at the same time. Gravity is a constant and never changes on earth.
This would only prove true in a vacuum. Same as droping a lead weight and a feather. In a vacuum both will hit bottom at the same time.
I can't think of any bearing that a vacuum would have on the rate of fall, unless by vacuum you just mean a lack unequal external forces acting on the bullets. Gravity is the determining factor here.
Also, a bullet actually arcs upwards as it leaves the muzzle. That bullet would have a further distance to fall, so would probably hit the ground last.

Vista's longtime City Manager Rita Geldert announced Tuesday that she will retire at the end ofthe year.
Geldert, 59, was appointed to the city's top administrative post in 1997 after serving as the assistant city manager for three years. She's worked in local government for more than 36 years.
"This decision was an extremely difficult, hard decision," Geldert said from the dais at the end of the Vista City Council meeting.
She said she plans to spend more time with her family, including her husband, Dale, and their three children and three grandchildren.
During her tenure, Geldert has overseen the development of the Vista Village shopping and entertainment center, the construction and completion of community projects funded by the Proposition L half-cent sales-tax increase, including the Civic Center, Vista Sports Park, two new fire stations and the Moonlight Amphitheatre Stage House, and helped the city progress toward its goal of redeveloping the Paseo Santa Fe corridor.
"I have strong ties with the city and feel we're a unique, family unit," she said. "Any accomplishments I'm especially proud of, I'm most proud of working with a strong team of elected officials, past and current, who passionately served and continue to serve Vista."
Geldert said she was especially proud of her involvement with the Vistans Revitalizing Our Community volunteer program, which helped clean up neighborhoods and allowed people to work with residents to complete small projects at more than 300 Vista homes.
Mayor Judy Ritter said Geldert is known as one of the best city managers in the region, and other council members added they were sad to hear her announcement.
"I don't think I've met a manager that has as big a heart as you do," Councilman Steve Gronke said.
"I'm very sorry to hear you're leaving, especially since we just started working (together)," said Councilman John Aguilera, who was elected to the council last year. "I have already learned a lot from you and really appreciate your support."
Councilman Dave Cowles said he was glad to work with Geldert as colleagues when he served as superintendent of the Vista Unified School District.
"Her mark will certainly be left on the city now and for years to come," he said. "I think our job as a council now is to make the smoothest, best transition into the next era."
Geldert said the council will meet next week to discuss finding a replacement.
"This is just a great city," she said. "My advice is to find a city you feel passionate about and just work for them, because it won't be work, it will be something you love."

Strange things are happening in Village Drowning, and a terrifying encounter has 11-year-old Rye O'Chanter convinced that the monstrous, supposedly extinct Bog Noblins have returned. Now Rye's only hope is an exiled secret society so notorious its name can't be spoken aloud: The Luck Uglies. As Rye dives into Village Drowning's maze of secrets, rules, and lies, she'll discover the truth behind the village's legends of outlaws and beasts…and that it may take a villain to save them from the monsters.
The first in an irresistible fantasy adventure trilogy that The Peculiar author Stefan Bachmann hailed as "an action-packed adventure with heroes you'll root for and baddies you'll hiss at…funny and magical," The Luck Uglies overflows with secrets, friendship, and heart - and is imbued throughout with the magic of storytelling.

"Wonderful story"
Even my six year old son and 52 year old husband LOVED it! Great family listening experience!
"A breath of fresh air!"
This book pairs a whimsical, fairy tale like setting with a heartwarming cast of wonderful characters. It does all of the things that a children's book should do and does them all excellently. My favorite element is the abundance of strong and brave female characters.
Highly caffeinated bookaholic workaholic
"Delightfully vivid & charming!!"
This is such a deliciously vivid story. It really kept me engaged the whole time.
Rye is such a wonderful heroine. I absolutely loved her--and everyone in the story, really.
Fiona Hardingham has quickly become one of my favorite narrators. Her tone is steady and just the right amount of animated.
Can't wait to continue on with the series!

The report, commissioned by the DfE, presents initial findings from a survey of 49 schools currently trialling provision for twos. The research by the National Children's Bureau and Frontier Economics examines approaches to developing places for twos during the current academic year.
It reveals that 34 per cent of the schools surveyed had found it 'not easy' to identify and allocate sources of finance for twos. Thirty-seven per cent were concerned about the sustainability of offering places.
The main reason for offering places was 'to increase the school readiness of two-year-olds to improve outcomes'. The majority of schools said they could support the learning and development and emotional needs of twos.
Thirteen schools said they were finding it difficult to develop their workforce to provide experienced and trained staff.
Eight in ten schools had started to deliver places, with the majority doing it themselves and almost all provision based on the school site. Just one in ten planned to work with private providers or children's centres.
Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Pre-school Learning Alliance, said, 'The Government has been so eager to push ahead with its plans to place two-year-olds in schools - despite the continued opposition of parents and providers - that it has neglected to fully consider whether these plans are workable in practice.
'The sector's calls for increased funding for the scheme have been ignored by Government, and yet here we have schools citing the same concerns.'
Anne Longfield, chief executive of 4Children, said the survey indicated that schools have the potential to provide childcare. 'As trusted services, many parents want schools to support them with their childcare arrangements. As with all support for twos, it will need to be of the highest quality if disadvantaged children are to benefit.'

If you ever doubted that scrapbooking was a hobby reserved exclusively for women, then you must have missed the episode of HGTV's "House Hunters" where two guys were searching for a home that included the "perfect craft room," so they could scrapbook their hearts out.
Scrapbooking is no longer a passion shared only by grandmother's with extra time on their hands or Martha Stewart wannabes looking to one-up fellow PTA moms. Scrapbooking is a hobby that does not discriminate. Rather, it invites men, women and children to exercise their creativity and preserve memories for future generations.
Interestingly, Redbook magazine recently published a survey revealing that the number of male scrapbookers in the United States is on the rise. The magazine's research shows that more than one million men regularly participate in scrapbooking activities. Redbook also cited information culled from the nation's most popular scrapbook supply stores which indicated that between 10 and 20 percent of their customers are men.
While scrapbooking among men is on the rise, it certainly isn't a new phenomenon. If you look through our nation's history books, you will see that there have been a number of prominent males who have shown a passion for scrapbooking. For example, founding father Thomas Jefferson is said to have kept detailed memory albums filled with newspaper clippings and other memorabilia related to his presidency. In addition, studies show that world-famous author Mark Twain was also an avid scrapbooker. In fact, research shows that Twain was so enthralled by scrapping memorabilia that he invented a one-of-a-kind pre-pasted book designed to keep newspaper clippings and other papers secure.
In modern times men scrap some of the same subjects as their female counterparts, including hobbies, family and travel. However, men, who scrapbook as a hobby, typically focus on preserving more tangible items they've collected from sporting events, concerts and adventure trips, as opposed to women, who feature more journaling and sentimental items as part of their layouts.
Do you know men who scrapbook?

Curriculum Vitae/Syllabi:
As a researcher, writer and teacher, my primary interests focus broadly on issues of race and media, particularly within the social and political arena. My previous work centered on how political candidates construct, mobilize, benefit or suffer damage from race-based appeals. In 2011 I co-authored the book Race Appeal: How Candidates Invoke Race in U.S. Political Campaigns (Temple University Press). In 2012, the book won the prestigious Ralph Bunche Award, given by the American Political Science Association for the best book addressing ethnic pluralism. The same year, the American Library Association recognized the book as one of the Best of the Best books among academic publishers. In addition to authoring/coauthoring four additional books and close to thirty scholarly journal articles and chapter in edited volumes, and regularly providing expert commentary for local, state, national and international media, I continue to pursue research about racial appeals through collaborative work focused on analyses of individuals' real-time perceptions of race-based appeals in political advertising, as well as a variety of cognitive/physiological responses to racialized communication.
My recent interests, however, have turned to the intersections of race and digital media, principally as they relate to three primary questions: to what degree can/has the internet and other forms of digital media use lead to increased political participation, voice and influence for people of color?; in what ways might internet use provide greater access to social, professional and economic mobility for people of color?; and in what tangible ways do forms of racial discrimination, disparate treatment and denial of opportunity take place in online environments? I'm currently working on a number of projects in this area, including:
- An article titled, Racial Formation Online: Representation, Inequality & the Political Economy of the Web.
- A book project titled Digital Movement: Black Politics, Organizing & Activism on the Web, which traces the roots and charts the development of racial justice networks online since the 1990s.
- A related project analyzing the Black Lives Matter movement on Twitter. The project is in collaboration with lead investigator Deen Freelon, and Meredith Clark, and is funded by the Spencer Foundation.
I'm also working on the following with other collaborators:
- A book project titled, Good Feelings: The Story of Race & Barbecue in America with Kathleen McElroy.
- A final book project with Stephen Maynard Caliendo titled Nigger 2.0: The Turbulent Transformation of a Still Troublesome Word.
In addition to these projects, Robin R. Means Coleman and I edit the Routledge Transformations in Race & Media book series for Routledge.

Animal Species:Earth Centipede
This and other earth centipedes belong to the group Geophilomorpha, which means 'earth-loving'.
Standard Common Name
Earth Centipede
There are several species of earth centipedes commonly found in Sydney and their short legs and rectangular-shaped head allow them to move easily through soil and leaf litter. Geophilomorphs can be distinguished from other centipedes by their long and slender body with anywhere between 27 and 191 pairs of legs. All earth centipedes are blind and have specially adapted comb-like mouthparts for sweeping and rasping liquefied prey that they catch in the soil.
Size range
3.5 cm
Earth centipedes are found in Tasmania, southern mainland Australia and New Zealand.
Earth centipedes live in urban areas, forests and woodlands.
Life cycle
Female earth centipedes lay their eggs in leaf litter or soil. They don't feed while brooding and roll their body protectively around their egg cluster. The young hatch with the full number of adult legs and, after moulting twice, leave the brood or risk being eaten by the mother.

Had rhinoplasty 3 months ago to remove small dorsal hump. 7 days post-op, I noticed a bump on the side (and middle) of my nose that gets bigger as time goes on. Now there's a very defined line & "pit" on both sides. Doc says bone stays swollen longer than cartilage, that I just need to wait it out or use gel pad at night. Yes, it's only been 3 months, but I thought the swelling was supposed to get BETTER, not worse! Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Dorsal Swelling or Callus After Rhinoplasty?
Doctor Answers 2
Dorsal Selling or Callus after Rhinoplasty
Time will tell if the hump is secondary to transient swelling or is actually a bony irregularity that is now more visible as the surrounding swelling resolves. Stay in touch with your surgeon, and rest assured, if this is callus formation a relatively minor revision procedure will correct the problem.
Dorsal swelling or callus after rhinoplasty?
When recovering for a closed rhinoplasty the cartilage takes a while for it to fully heal. The swelling is caused by the tissues starting to adjust to the new shape into its form. The major swelling/bruising goes away after the first few weeks, but swelling can occur up to a year after surgery. You should see the full results after a year. I'd go visit your surgeon so they can check it out.

text: Hello everybody, Today I'd like to show you a watch that was passed on to me by my granddad (Opa). It's a late '50s/early '60s "Goldina" branded 17 jewels hand winding chronograph. I'm sure that Goldina was not a real brand but more a private label make. But the watch is fitted with a decent chronograph movement of Swiss origin which is equipped with a typical screw balance. When my granddad gave this watch to me it was in really bad shape. The acrylic crystal was scratched to death, the gold plated case showed severe signs of corrosion, the snap-on back was a mess and wouldn't lock properly, and the movement didn't run at all. I locked the watch away and it stayed in a drawer for 5 years. Last week it would have been my Opa's 85 birthday (he passed away 4 years ago) and I took the watch out again. And suddenly I realized how beautifully proportioned it is. Despite the decomposed tritium on dial and hands the printing was still crisp and the hand length is perfect with a slight downward curve for minute and stop seconds hand. This is something that manufacturers of the past always got right. How many watches are around today with wrong hand length?!! Millions!!! So I stripped the watch: Dial cleaned with Rodico, case cleaned and slightly (!) polished, case back reshaped and brushed, crystal polished, movement cleaned, oiled and adjusted, and a new flat padded calfskin strap fitted. Et voila! (BTW: Amplitude 322 degrees, accuracy plus 6-8 seconds per day) This watch is really comfortable and it matches most styles of vintage clothing. Of course it takes a while to get used to the small diameter (36mm). But the small size is also comfortable especially when you're wearing a jacket with narrow or knitted cuffs. This watch really goes well with a decent A2 or M422a! What do you think?

Soapy title aside, the documentary "Young and Restless in China" is almost all business, looking at the new, booming, baffling China through the eyes of young Chinese entrepreneurs, trailblazers and less influential players caught up in the maelstrom.
Directed by Sue Williams (who also produced and directed "China: A Century in Revolution"), this sprawling and at times overwhelming film – airing tonight on PBS's "Frontline" (9 p.m., Ch. 9) – was shot over four years and follows a group of men and women in their 20s and 30s struggling to find their way in a rapidly changing China.
Some of the film's subjects have recently returned from decades abroad, and others were shaped by the student movement and political turmoil of the early '90s. Still others have come from the country to the city to try to make it on their own.
Without exception, all of the young strivers featured in Williams' film struggle with feelings of angst and dissatisfaction. A sense of dislocation is common among rich and poor alike, exacerbated not just by the population's new mobility but by Beijing seemingly being rebuilt from the ground up at warp speed.
There's also the ideological vacuum left behind by the country's communist past and contradictory present. The Tiananmen Square massacre inspired public interest lawyer Zhang Jingjing to commit herself to fight for justice in a country where individual rights have long been trampled, whereas the same events convinced hotel owner Xu Weimin to avoid politics altogether.
For those returning from exile in the West, like entrepreneurs Lu Dong and Ben Wu, the country is the new if often frustrating and ethically compromising "land of opportunity." For a young rapper heavily influenced by American culture, a factory worker and a rural migrant worker, opportunity is still harder to find.
"Young and Restless in China" is a stunning, sweeping look at a country amid a frenzied if thoroughly compromised process of self-reinvention, but even a little historical context would have gone a long way in grounding the narrative journey of its subjects. Then again, utterly unrecognizable, this brave new China hardly seems grounded.
As Lu, who, while building his custom shirt business on the Web, converts to Christianity, remarks: "China is now a country with no beliefs and no role models. All the role models are materialistic." Americans can totally relate.
'Young and Restless in China'
Airing: 9 p.m. Tuesday, Ch. 9

Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexican culture, traditions
If Cinco de Mayo conjures images of mariachi, tamales and sombreros, you're not alone. In the United States, the Mexican holiday has become as much of a celebration as Mardi Gras or St. Patrick's Day.
But for many Americans who plan to eat enchiladas and sip cervezas on Cinco de Mayo, the history and significance of the holiday is still largely a mystery.
Many people commonly mistake Cinco de Mayo to be Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually commemorated in September. Rather, Cinco de Mayo celebrates the country's win against an invading French army on May 5, 1862.
In a true David-Goliath fashion, Mexican President Benito Juárez's small and inexperienced army defeated a much larger and stronger French army in Puebla, a small town near Mexico City. Although the Battle of Puebla victory did not solidify Mexico's win over France at the time, it was considered a symbolic victory for the country.
"They won a war they were supposed to lose," said Kristen Valdez, Spanish teacher at the Willmar Middle School. "They were the underdogs, but they believed in something and fought for it anyway. I think that's why the story resonates so strongly with people."
Today, people across Mexico and the United States celebrate Cinco de Mayo with parades, music, dancing and traditional Mexican food.
Javier Valenzuela, who lives in Willmar but grew up in Chihuahua, Mexico, says that Cinco de Mayo is actually more celebrated in the United States than in his home country.
"Cinco de Mayo celebrations are done on a much bigger scale in the U.S. than in Mexico," said Valenzuela, a personal banker at Bremer Bank. "In Mexico, it's celebrated with a small parade. For me, it wasn't a tradition we did every year."
Along with a parade, there are also reenactments of the Battle of Puebla. Those portraying the French soldiers wear "peacock hats and flamboyant outfits," Valenzuela said.
In the United States, festivities tend to focus less on the historic lessons of Cinco de Mayo and more on the "celebration" part.
"It's definitely a bit commercialized here," Valenzuela said. "But that's not a bad thing. It brings people together and it's a good way to start a discussion about cultural differences. I think it's a good thing to celebrate, whether it's commercialized or not."
Arturo Becerra Carmona, who moved to Willmar from Querétaro, Mexico, three years ago, says that before he came to the United States, he had no idea that Americans even celebrated Cinco de Mayo.
"I didn't know it was that important here," said Becerra Carmona, who plans to move back to Mexico someday. "In Mexico, it's not a big holiday. People know what it is, but they may not even know the idea behind it."
Growing up, children are taught the story of the Battle of Puebla, or Batalla de Puebla as the day is called in Mexico. But it's one of those history lessons that's soon forgotten after exams are over, Becerra Carmona said.
Still, Cinco de Mayo symbolizes a sense of national pride that he can identify with strongly.
"On Cinco de Mayo, we want to feel that we are part of something. We want to know who we are," he said. "It's important to feel that pride and sense of community."
For non-Latinos, Cinco de Mayo has become a way to learn about the culture and traditions of another country, Valdez said.
"It's a fun way to be exposed to another culture's history," she said. "It opens our eyes and our doors to another culture and their traditions. It's a great holiday to be celebrated and embraced by anyone, even if the reason why it's celebrated is usually unknown."
No Cinco de Mayo celebration in Willmar this year
For the past six years, Willmar has hosted a Cinco de Mayo celebration. This year, there won't be a community event, said Javier Valenzuela, who has organized the event in the past.
"We didn't have enough volunteers and organizers this year," he said. "We only had three people on the committee, and it became too much for us."
In years past, anywhere from 1,000 to 3,500 people have come out for the annual celebration, Valenzuela said. Last year was the most diverse attendance they've ever had at the event.
Valenzuela said he's had many people in the community ask him why there's no event this year. He encourages people to volunteer and help plan an event for next year.
"I wish we could've done it this year," Valenzuela said. "Trust me, I'm more disappointed than anyone. When we can do a celebration, it's a great way to bring people together and learn about each other."

Updated with current stock price. NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Last month, Arena Pharmaceuticals ( ARNA) received a positive vote from the FDA's Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee for the use of lorcaserin to treat obesity. The company did an admirable job parrying panelists' questions and the FDA's skepticism and earned an 18-to-4 recommendation for approval, with one abstention. On Wednesday, Arena faces its next hurdle: the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date for lorcaserin, better known as the FDA's approval decision date for the obesity drug. Lorcaserin might receive final approval this week, but I think a three-month delay or another complete response letter (CRL) is more likely. As I have said in the past, I expect the FDA will require a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) to minimize inappropriate use of the drug and the risk of an unexpected safety debacle. (The sting of repeated obesity drug fiascos -- American Home Products' fenfluramine-phentermine, known as Fen-phen, and Abbott's ( ABT) Meridia in the U.S., and Sanofi's ( SNY) rimonabant in Europe -- won't go away any time soon.) Ultimately though, I think lorcaserin will be approved for sale in the US (and probably Europe, although a decision from European regulators won't come until early-to-mid 2013).
My advice to lorcaserin bulls would be to cherish the moment but sell the stock. (Some investors are doing just that; Arena shares fell 15% Friday after and another 1% Monday after nearly tripling since the FDA panel.) This is as good as it gets. If you're one of the lucky few that can find shares to borrow, congrats -- you've got a good short. I doubt lorcaserin will be the mega-blockbuster that bulls expect. History is on my side -- no obesity drug has ever even come close to reaching $1 billion in US sales -- and the company's clinical data contain some worrisome red flags. (Admittedly, I didn't think lorcaserin would be approved until after I read the FDA briefing documents; the comments section will likely overflow with vitriol from those who wrongly think that background disqualifies my opinion.) My primary concern is the drug's modest effect size. In Arena's Phase III studies, named BLOOM and BLOSSOM, lorcaserin recipients lost only 3.7% and 3.0% of their body weight, respectively, after adjusting for the placebo group (all patients in the study also had intensive dietary counseling). That's not a very big impact, especially given the baseline demographics (patients, roughly 80% of whom were female, weighed 220 lbs on average).

"We have leveled the playing field so the laws suit the majority, not the minority," state Attorney General and Justice Minister Jarrod Bleijie said in a statement at the time.The Queensland Supreme Court subsequently overturned the appeals court ruling anyway, saying in May that Drovers Rest did have the right to deny Karlaa a room, even before the law was amended. Tougher limits on prostitution are also on the table in the state of Western Australia, where iron ore is excavated from its sparsely populated north. Proposed laws would limit the sex trade to a few designated areas and require self-employed sex workers to be licensed. No more than two such licensed prostitutes could work from the same premises. John Scott, a criminologist at Australia's University of New England, said that Queensland and Western Australia are tightening restrictions after a loosening of controls by Australian states that began in the 1990s. "There does seem to be a reverse trend in both those mining states, and I suspect part of it relates to the mining industry and some of the concerns raised in rural areas," Scott said. The FIFO sex workers tend to be older than their city counterparts and don't dress as provocatively. With housing tight, some arrive in motor homes or sublet spare rooms in clients' homes. They advertise in newspapers and on websites, and have even handed out fliers at Moranbah's main shopping mall. Karlaa, who lives more than 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) away in the tourist city of Gold Coast, said she used to send text messages to regular clients announcing the dates of her next visit. Word would quickly spread among hundreds of men across mine sites by two-way radio. Another Gold Coast-based sex worker said she doesn't plan to return to Moranbah because escorts are made to feel unwelcome. The woman, who is in her early 20s, said young and attractive sex workers are particularly conspicuous and likely to be given a room near the reception if they stay at Drover's Rest, so they can be kept under surveillance. She continues to work in other mining towns in the region.

Mumbai, India, 2010/09/23 - New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Strategic Analysis and Performance Benchmarking Assessment of the Ports Sector in India, finds that the traffic for total ports in India was worth 740.3 million tons (MT) in 2009.
The Indian ports sector is poised for significant growth driven by new manufacturing and power projects and higher cargo traffic at ports. Increase in containerized trade coupled with the Governments active initiatives to develop the Indian ports sector, is expected to further boost the growth. Although the ports in India have shown considerable improvement over years, benchmarking them against the ports in Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and Rotterdam reveals that there needs to be marked improvement in many parameters to get Indian ports at par with international standards.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (automotive.frost.com), Strategic Analysis and Performance Benchmarking Assessment of the Ports Sector in India, finds that the traffic for total ports in India was worth 740.3 million tons (MT) in 2009 and this is expected to rise to 1,373.1 MT in 2015. Traffic at major ports is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6 percent from 2010 to 2015.
If you are interested in a virtual brochure, which provides a brief synopsis of the research and a table of contents, then send an e-mail to Ravinder Kaur/ Amrita Nandi, Corporate Communications, at ravinder.kaur[.]frost.com/ amritan[.]frost.com with your full name, company name, title, telephone number, company email address, company website, city, state and country. Upon receipt of the above information, a brochure will be sent to you by email.
"The commissioning of multiple innovative power projects based on imported coal and the setting up of steel projects and offshore exploration and production projects are likely to drive the Indian ports sector," says Frost & Sullivan Research Associate Reena Fatima Murray. "Additionally, the government has been promoting public-private participation in the ports sector on a build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis, thereby stepping-up capacities and traffic handling at ports, besides enhancing their efficiency."
The Indian Government prioritized the expansion and modernization of ports as part of its five-year plan initiatives in 2007. It has been instrumental in redefining the role of ports from mere trade gateways to integral parts of the global and logistics chain.
However, several major ports lack sufficient draft for large crude tankers. Large vessels are berthed at Colombo, Singapore, or Dubai, and cargo is shipped to India later in smaller vessels, thereby escalating the freight cost. Additionally, all leading ports such as Mumbai, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), Visakhapatnam, and Mormugao handle more cargo than their designed capacities, further contributing to congestion and resulting in a longer turnaround time.
"Weak hinterland connectivity is a challenge for most Indian ports, reducing accessibility," explains Murray. "Despite investments from the private sector that are encouraging the modernization and development of ports, infrastructure continues to be a major issue in India."
The Committee of Infrastructure constituted a Committee of Secretaries to recommend time-bound identification and complete connectivity projects to successfully address issues regarding port connectivity.
"Several projects are underway for the deepening of drafts at major ports as a part of the national maritime development program," concludes Murray. "The government should work more proactively towards the execution of these plans for developing port infrastructure."

text: I would have liked to have seen this plane go into production for two reasons: it is a cool looking plane (kind of looks like something batman would have had) and because McDonnel was the contractor and I am from St. Louis. I think they should have tried putting turbocharged Allisons on the plane and compared it to the P-38. As the P-38 is my favorite plane, the P-57 could have been made into a night fighter with the addition of a rear seat. If the plane didn't work out, McDonnell could have been a second source of P-38 production (or third after Vultee). http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/research/p67.htm
