Troy Trepanier's creations have been seen in HOT ROD magazine for 25 years now, to the point that the staff is occasionally accused of playing favorites with the guy. But how can we not? He got his start as a snotnosed kid with a pink Chevelle, participated in HOT ROD's road trip adventures, and, oh yeah, he's built a Ridler winner, a 300-mph land-speed car, customs, and street rods, each time setting the bar a little bit higher for innovation, aesthetics, and quality workmanship. Troy started out in his dad Jack's general repair shop, building hot rods at night before graduating to his own building next to his dad's place in Manteno, Illinois, to start Rad Rides by Troy, where so many magazine feature cars have been born. These pages showcase Troy's career thus far—celebrating his 25 years by educating younger readers on some of the memorable stuff his shop has done. There are some neat builds the shop has done that are not shown here, but these are the highlights.
About his philosophy on building cars, Troy tells us, "You have to always put out a quality product, because they only judge you on what you've done last. Let's say you're building a car, and the customer gets sticky or something happens. You can never tell someone, 'I would have done it nicer, but the guy ran out of money.' You can't do that, so whatever happened, we always delivered a good product. It always costs too much and takes too long, but at least you can argue quality in the end. I was fortunate that I grew up in the era when Gray [Baskerville] was around. I got to meet Angelo [Giampetroni of Ford Racing], and I've been great friends with Boyd, Posie, Brizio, the Edelbrocks—that whole group. I see these young guys now, and I wonder who they're going to get to hang with and fit in with."
We know the answer to that: They're looking up to Troy.
1966 Chevy Chevelle
That's the one that got me started. My grandfather bought that car brand new from the local Chevy garage in town, and I remember growing up in it. I took apart engines at my dad's place and welded pop cans together in my grandpa's garage, so I was around a little bit of fabrication. Grandpa was a pipe fitter, and he had a little one-car garage. He would pull the car out when he had a job to do, and one day when I was 14, it wouldn't idle, so he put a piece of pipe to hold the gas pedal down, and it went all the way to the floor and blew it up. So that's how I acquired it, and we did it real basic. We painted it, did some Center Line wheels, real simple. In 1987, I went to the Street Machine Nationals in Du Quoin [Illinois] the first time and saw what was going on, and it opened my eyes up, so I came back and redid it, and that's when Gray [Baskerville] shot it, in 1988. My old man and mom bought it from me so I could do my next car, and they drove it on a couple Power Tours and then sold it. I don't keep anything and don't get attached, but I probably should have kept that one.
Pro Box
1960 Chevy Impala
We had some success in HOT ROD magazine and looked for something different, and I saw a 1960 Chevy at a Super Chevy meet in 1989 and thought, Man, that's a really wild car. At that time, nobody was doing anything with them, not even restoring them, so I found one in Texas. A buddy and I flew there, I brought some spare parts, and we drove it home all the way from Texas. It was an unbelievable, low-mile car—had never been touched. That's one of my favorite body styles still. I went with the monochromatic theme of the time, did the brushed trim on it and the weird colors. I often say the first three or four cars, I did for myself. They were obviously different body styles, and the colors were edgy—borderline gaudy, I would say now. But it got me the biggest bang for the buck. We built that car in about 10 months, Pro Streeted it, and me and Gray drove that thing from Indianapolis to Las Vegas for the SEMA Show that year, in 1990, on the Victory Tour, which I tell everybody was really the first HOT ROD Power Tour. We put it in the Petersen Publishing booth for the magazine, and they ended up picking it for HOT ROD's Car of the Year in 1990, so that was a real good stepping stone for me.
1950 Buick Sedanette
The Buick was kind of interesting because I'd done the 1960, a wild body style, and was looking to do something else. About six miles from here was a junkyard, and for about a year and a half I drove by this 1950 Buick sitting in the weeds. All you could see was that big bumper, the teeth, and I thought, Man, that's really interesting. So that's what sparked me on that car. I'd worked with Steve Stanford on my 1966 Chevelle a little bit, on a paint scheme, so I called him up and he did a pretty cool little rendering that got me really sparked about it. I found that car out in Ojai, California, and brought it back, cut it up, got it done in about 10 to 11 months. It had a big-block this time and wild colors, to say the least. They did a nice feature in HOT ROD, and that also was HOT ROD's Car of the Year in 1992. I did a little driving with it, did Power Tour, and hooked up with Orion when the car-stereo thing was big and did some stuff with them. That was another good stepping stone for me. The 1960 Chevy and 1950 Buick are both within about four hours of me now.
1960 Rambler Wagon
While we were working on the Buick, I was having my house built, and the guy that was building my house said, 'Hey, I got this old car in a barn that blew down.' We went to look at it, thinking it was going to be junk, but it was the most perfect 1960 Rambler American wagon on the planet! And it was all taken apart and put inside. The barn had literally blown down around it. We brought it back, and it sat beside the shop for a while, and we originally started building it for a guy who worked for me at the time. And that was fun, a little V8 with cross-ram injection. Stanford did the paint scheme for me. It was a neat car. I drove it on Americruise with my dad. That was one of the first cars where I started paying attention to the engine compartment. I was a mechanic before I was a fabricator, so we're a little better at making things work. Some guys in this industry can make them look good, but then do they work? It got a big nice feature in HOT ROD, and I think it was a Top Ten car. I had a really good streak going, a reputation was building, and working with Gray all the time, repeating with three interesting cars in a row gave me a good foothold in the industry with manufacturers and things like that. And I think being a young guy and driving these cars and doing the Power Tours early on—it was a crucial time, we learned a lot. I think that car's in Atlanta. That was the last car I owned.
We drove it thru Chicago in a rainstorm I'll never forget. Up on 294 with the semis passing you and the windows all fogged up, no wipers, and you're in this car, and it's 6 feet wide and 15 feet long, trying to not get killed…it was an interesting time."
— Troy Trepanier
1939 Chevy Coupe
Predator was my first customer car. Dan Jacobs was a local family friend, owned the Ace Hardware in town. He'd owned the thing forever and wanted to redo it, so we brought it in, and it was me and Bob Thrash at the time, and my dad a little bit, and we did the Predator. It went to Autorama in 1996, I think. We drove it on Power Tour, and it went to the Ridler. We only had $100,000 or something in it, and we were competing against George Poteet's 1937, a real nice car. We did OK, though, and made the Great 8. Predator was a neat car because Chip [Foose] and his dad [famed customizer
Sam Foose] flew in and helped me and my dad chop the roof on it.
That car showed the country we can do anything, and that I can get it done."
– Troy Trepanier
1954 Plymouth Savoy
We were at the Ridler with Predator, and that's where I met George Poteet. We chatted for five minutes, and I didn't think anything about it. Then three months later, we're on the rooftop of the Petersen [Automotive Museum] before the Power Tour, and I'm sitting by the 1939 and about 10 cars down, there's George, who'd brought a couple of cars. Right on the rooftop, he asked me what I wanted to do next, and I'd been talking to Chip and I'd seen a 1954 Plymouth and thought it would be killer to do with Mercedes headlights and a Viper drivetrain. I had a five-minute conversation with Chip months earlier, and he'd faxed me a quick sketch, and I had that folded up in my pocket, so I showed him the sketch. He said he learned how to drive in a 1954 Plymouth. So we're driving cross-country, and he had a camper, so we'd stop and shoot the breeze, and about halfway through he said, 'I'd like you to build that car.' And then 'let's find a car,' and that's how that started. George was my first big-time customer, the first guy that said, 'Show me what you can do.'
So we get the Sniper here, and it was terrible. It had been sitting in this dump back East somewhere, so we take it all apart. I wanted a Viper drivetrain, but in 1996 you couldn't just go to the junkyard and get an engine. Then I remembered I met a guy from Chrysler when I had my 1950 Buick at Cobo Hall, and it turned out it was Tom Gale [Chrysler's chief of design]. He said, 'If you ever need anything, let me know.' So years later, we're doing Sniper, and I thought I'd call him on a Friday, thinking he'd never answer the phone. I left my name and number, and Monday morning he calls me. He knew everything I'd built since I talked to him—it was awesome! I told him about the Plymouth and he said he could help. He had to go down the chain of command, and I get a call from Dan Jankowski, who was the head guy on the Viper, and he told me to come up in a few weeks and they'd have something for me. So we drive up in the truck and trailer to the Viper R&D center and saw some of the new GTS coupes there, and he said, 'You've seen those? That's the car you're taking home.' It was an R&D car with about 5,000 miles on it. We loaded this running, driving GTS coupe in my trailer, and I called
every son of a bitch I'd ever met telling them about it!
They just wanted me to bring back something to crush, so we cut it up and took all the parts out of it. We knocked that car out start to finish in 13 months, which was big at the time. If you brought that car out today, it would still fit right in. We did Power Tour that year with it, but the biggest thing was that it was at the 50th anniversary of HOT ROD at the SEMA show, and they inducted the top 50 guys into the hall of fame, and I was one of them. So I take this new customer with this awesome car idea, we get a Viper given to us, build the car in 13 months, drive it cross-country, and then unveil it at the Hilton—it was just awesome. In my wife's office, there are only two pictures hanging up. One is George and me at that unveiling and the other is the Ridler deal with Ross.
1957 Ford Ranch Wagon
George [Poteet] likes the Ford Ranch Wagons. He bought a really nice one from Chico at Mooneyes, and we were just going to do a front end under it and some mild stuf, but, of course, it got out of control. We cut it up and did a full chassis under it, the whole gamut, and drove it on the Power Tour that year. It was a neat car, a little custom. Bobby Walden in Texas, who helped on Sniper, did a little bit to the wagon. It was a nice car to follow Sniper but was nowhere near like it.
1961 Chevy Biscayne
Mom and Dad were looking for something to drive. They sold my 1966, bought a 1961 Chevy, and we were doing the Sniper at the time. Bisquick was one of the first cars that had the 18s and 20s, and kind of street-rod-style, you could call it. It had a 600-inch Trick Flow all-aluminum motor, so it still had some street machine in it, and my buddy in Amarillo, Mark Warrick, painted it. We did Power Tour® that year. It was a nice car but pretty straightforward, nothing goofy, and a lot lower budget than Sniper. I think my mom and dad did five Power Tours® with that car. They sold it, but it's still around.
1932 Ford
I'd watched [Mark] Stielow build it in Street Rodder magazine, and it was cool, but I didn't like the purple and yellow he used. It was bizarre, and I was doing some queer colors myself, you know. Then Summit Racing calls and said they had the car and wanted to finish it. So I went and got it, and we started doing it more street-rod-style but kept all the stuff Stielow had done with the all-wheel-drive. Summit had a budget crunch, but we really wanted to finish the car, so my dad paid them for the car, saying he'd pay to finish it and haul it all around as the Summit car and get all the promotional bang out of it, then own it when it's done. They did the Power Tour® in that car, and it was a good running car. We ended up doing an eBay sale, and Summit bought it back. It sits in their showroom now. I'd like to go get it and have Stielow drive it in an autocross, like the Optima shootout, since that's what he originally was building it for. It would be an ass-kicking machine. All we really did was pretty it up.
Ritzow's 1932
1932 Ford
Right when Boyds was going under and Chip was running the show, one of the last cars they finished was a red 1946 convertible for Roger Ritzow and his wife, Nancy, in Wisconsin. He had some problems with vibration and stuff when he got it home, so he called Chip and asked how to get it fixed, and Chip recommended he take it to me to look at, since I was close. We ended up fixing that car for him, and he kept calling me wanting to do a 1932 street rod. I'm not a 1932 guy, so if we're going to do it, there's gotta be something trick. He turned us loose and just said, 'Do an awesome 1932,' so the first call I made is to George and asked him, 'How the hell am I gonna make a statement with a 1932?' I got some parts from him that nobody else had, and he influenced me a lot during the build of that car, and Roger just let us do what we wanted. It's one of those deals that was changed 10,000 ways from Sunday, but if you don't know that car, you'd never know. I've got two guys that'll pay him twice what he's got in it to this day in one minute. We had it out all summer, then brought it to Pomona for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster show. It got beat by Steve Moal's car, a nice 1932 but real flashy, and ours was real subdued. But ours made the list of the Top 75 1932s of all time. It's the newest car on the list out of the 75, which was awesome. We don't build 1932s, so to get on that list was pretty big. It has a little flathead and it runs like a watch.
Cad Attalk
1962 Cadillac Convertible
Randy Wilcox in Minnesota wanted to do a big Caddy, so he brought us a 1962 that he'd been messing with. It was in pieces, so we were going to just do this and that and ended up doing the whole car. We did a big, 500ci Caddy motor and slicked it up. It was another SEMA project, and we did all the shows with it. It's another nice car that was under the radar, and another good stepping stone since it was a custom. I kind of bounced around from street machines to customs a little bit, then once in a while dabbled in a street rod, so it was a nice mix.
That's probably the one car I've built that he can double his money on right now."
– Troy Trepanier
1962 Chevy Biscayne
Angelo [Giampatroni, then of Ford Racing] got me hooked up with Glenn Grozich at Billet Specialties, and he wanted to do a 1962 Chevy. We had done John Meaney's twin-turbo Vette, which was my first time around turbocharging. It was unbelievable. Glen came down and asked what we wanted to do for power, so I had Meany give him a ride in the Corvette and that was it—he got out of that thing and said, All right, twin turbos.' So we built Chicayne and did some pretty extensive work to that car. Glenn let me do whatever I wanted. I had some sick colors in mind for the car—that puke-army-green and that other green, and I just loved 'em. They always give me crap that if I could paint every car green, I would. A neat thing that came out of that car was I built that pulley system here on my bandsaw, then went up and sat with his designers and pushed them into doing it, and now that's huge for him. That was one of the first cars they unveiled in a booth at SEMA, and now everybody does it, which is cool. We did Power Tour® that year. It sat at my shop its entire life up until a couple months ago, when he needed it for something. It was always a good tool to take people interested in building a car for a ride, because it rides good, handles well, and hauls ass, so my joke was I'd take someone for a ride, and they'd empty their wallet.
That's one of my favorite cars—it still has the look, and I think it really got the upper-end street-machine stuff really wound up."
– Troy Trepanier
Fast-Forward Fastback
1967 Ford Mustang
This was when all the TLC stuff was on TV with Rides and Overhaulin'. They called and asked if we were doing anything they could make a show out of, and they picked the eBay Mustang we were doing with HOT ROD, so we did a Rides show with them. We built the car, did the TV show with it, and brought it to SEMA in HOT ROD's booth and had a live eBay auction. It sold for $150,000 or something and went to charity.
Sick Fish
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda
From doing the Rides show, I became friends with [producer] Bud Brutsman, and he said, 'I got a buddy here who wants to do a car.' It was Joe Rogan of the TV show Fear Factor, which we watched at home, so I thought that was pretty cool. I found the car an hour from here buried in snow, but it was an absolutely perfect, rust-free '70 'Cuda. I got Chip involved, and we designed the car and got it done in bare steel and did the cover with HOT ROD [Nov. '04]. I was in Columbus and get a call at 2 a.m. from Rogan, and he said he loved the pictures and wanted to leave it silver. I'm thinking, No way, man, I'll call you when I get home and we can talk about it. Chip had done this killer rendering of black and red, so we talk and I offered to buy it back from him since I thought it was going to look stupid all silver. But that's what he wanted. I ended up doing the hood satin, which is a little better than nothing, but it was a killer car at the time. The Hemi Dakota that we'd built for HOT ROD was about to be crushed, but they let me have the engine and transmission out of it, so that's what's in the Rogan car.
Joe had the car and was driving it around Los Angeles. We were bringing some cars to SEMA, and Joe's car shows up on a Pilot transport and the fender's all caved in on it. So I called Joe thinking it got busted up in the truck, and he said no, he was at a gas station and wasn't paying attention and this semi trailer backed up into it. And now I've got a day to make it right before the show. So I flew my painter out, and we fixed it at a local body shop. I'd have loved to have done that car just a little further for somebody who'd really appreciate it. He wasn't a car guy, and we like to build our cars for real car guys.
Manny's 1967
1967 Lincoln
We did the Lincoln for [pro baseball player] Many Ramirez. It was neat because I'd been watching the Boston Red Sox with my kids, and he'd just signed a $280-million contract. So I pick him up at the airport, and, of course, he's got his agent with him. He told me he wanted to do a Lincoln and gave me some ideas, then played the hero card. You know, 'I'm gonna make you famous, so give us a deal.' I'm doing OK by myself, thank you. Anyway, we do the car, and it was a pain in the ass, but it ended up being a nice car. The papers had been razzing Ramirez about never giving anything to charity, so he auctioned the car of and they got $150,000 or something, and gave the money to charity.
That was my last deal working for athletes and movie people. Working through a middle man, like their PR manager, is hard. You spend all day on the phone. Unless they're car guys, I don't want to do it, and if this is the first car they're building, I don't want to be the first guy to build it, either. We're spoiled with these other guys, you know?
Chocolate Thunder
1937 Ford Convertible
That car was started at another shop, and we changed it up into a highdollar, trick build, supercharged, with odd colors of copper and chocolate. It went to SEMA and did a few indoor car shows, and on the way to a show in Canada, my guy Moose stopped in Quebec for the night. I get a call the next morning that the truck, trailer, and car are gone. They stole like six things around that area, from trucks to trailers and stuff. That was in 2006, and I just settled that deal with the insurance company about three months ago. We got pictures of it twice, anonymously, inside a trailer with a current newspaper on the windshield to show the car and current date, and got calls wanting ransom money for it. The FBI got involved, and they ended up having bounty hunters looking for it and all kinds of stuff going on. It's unfortunate that we never got to get that car out during the summer. He never even got to drive it.
"It was Hot Rod's car of the Year, and that same year we also had the Ridler car in the Top Ten, so you got a full-blown show car and a full-blown race car. That couldn't say anything more for the guys at the shop."
– Troy Trepanier
1969 Plymouth Barracuda
George had been going to Bonneville for a couple of years by then and was hooked up in the Speed Demon [streamliner with partner Ron Main], and all that took off. We were in Detroit at the Autorama, and I showed George that trick four-cylinder Mopar engine with the USAC block, Hemi head, and all this craziness. He liked 1969 Barracudas, so that's what spawned the Blowfish.
We got about 40 percent of the way though the fabrication and realized we needed to find a wind tunnel or something, so I start calling all my connections at Chrysler, and we ended up spending 40 hours in the wind tunnel a Chrysler for free. It was awesome. You just can't get in there. We finally got it all done, went [to Bonneville] in 2007, I think, with the four-cylinder. We were definitely rookies. I'll never forget when I pulled up to tech with it, someone said, 'Look, they brought a show car out here.' We go to the 3-mile course to qualify for the big course, for the first pass ever under its own power, and I'm freaked out. I never built a race car, and we're getting ready to find out if it runs. He went 236 to the 3, so that was good. Two passes to the 3-mile on the big course, and we had a 253-mph average, so that was a big relief. We've raced it every year since then, and that's been the biggest thing I've ever done. Car shows are subject to opinion, but when you're out there, you either put the time up or you don't—that's what I like about it the most. We've set four records with it now, and went 319 two years ago with a new Dodge NASCAR V8. This year we went out with 700 more horsepower, but it was a wet track and he spun it out at 275 and tore it up a little bit, but we're going to put traction control on it and a few other things and go back again next year. It'll run 340 or 350, I'm pretty sure—we just have to get the balance back now that we have the horsepower.
First Love
1936 Ford Three-Window Coupe
My dad met Ross Myers at a show, and he came to visit when we unveiled Roger's 1932. He came back in with this 1936 Ford he'd started and said he wanted to do it for the Ridler. He bought it when he was nine for $25, so I knew we had the right guy. It had been in the works for three years at another shop, and I know he had to have $400,000 in it, so we get it in primer and I told him I'd like to keep the roof, quarters, decklid, and engine and throw the rest away, and he said, 'Sounds good, let's do it.' He challenged us, and we went to the moon on that thing. Chip would say it, too.
When he saw it at Autorama, I asked him what he thought. He crawled under it and everything and said, 'I'm gonna cut my hands off, I don't want to compete with this thing.' You can only stretch, and lengthen, and chop a 1936 Ford so many ways—it's already been done. So we did all that necessary stuff on the body, but we're more mechanical here than cosmetic, so we really focused on the chassis and drivetrain. I wanted it where when people looked at it, they couldn't compare it to anything else they've seen.
I'd like to do a version of that car to drive because the styling on the outside, the proportions, are right on the money. It drives, but if you go 10 miles, it'd cost you $400,000 to fix it because everything's so dialed up on it. A lot of people ask me if I'd do another Ridler car. The guys I have now, the equipment I have now, we could do a better job and get more creative, but it takes a special [customer] to do that. I won it once, and that's fine with me.
There's a [Ridler] winner every year, but I want this car to be the one they compare it to. I want people to look at cars and say, 'Boy, this is nice, but this ain't no first-love car."— Troy Trepanier
1956 Chrysler 300B
That's probably the nicest car we've built from a standpoint of quality, function, and style. We built the 1932 Ford for Roger Ritzow and his wife, and ran it on a Power Tour. I'd seen a 1956 Chrysler and thought it was neat, and kept it in the back of my head. We found one, and he came to look at it and said, 'The only thing I want is 1,000 horsepower at the wheels.' So we went into the whole R5 Dodge and turbo thing we already knew from the Blowfish. Roger wanted a lot of technology in the car and was willing to pay for it. It was for his wife, Nancy, so he let us go crazy, and we turned it loose. The chassis is sick, like the Ridler car, but this one was built to drive. He put 5,000 miles on it the first year and took it to a track day at Road America with his Ferrari buddies. They clocked it at 143 down the front straight, 5,200 pounds, and even though it was heavy, with 1,000 hp and Viper suspension and brakes, it was a real high-function car. That's one of the best ones we've done, for sure.
Miller Hauler
1932 Ford Pickup
George [Poteet] dreamed that up because he's so into the history. Brian Stinger in Indianapolis is a big Miller guy, and he started on it. It was through fabrication and was becoming one of those deals that was taking forever, so George had Brian get it to our shop so we could finish it. It came to me in bare steel. All the designing was done, so all we did was execute the build, paint, and body. Brian had a neat concept there—as if Miller had a shop truck at the time, this might have been it, obviously fancied up. It's a neat little truck. It isn't much to drive since you can't hardly fit in it, but it has a lot of neat details. George had it at one of his barbecues at his place, and a guy who he knew commented on how much he liked it, and George knew the guy didn't have a lot of money so he joked, 'That truck ain't worth 50 grand.' So this guy goes and gets two other guys together and they get 50 grand together and come back to him. And George is the type of guy that if he said it, he meant it. So they give him 50 grand for a car he had probably $500,000 in. He couldn't go back on his word. So they go to Barrett-Jackson and sell it for $250,000. George knew what they were doing, but he didn't worry about it. He's an amazing guy, I'll tell you that.
1954 Buick
I've been getting a lot of jobs from recommendations. Hal Wing has a collection of about 60 cars but he'd never been to a Goodguys event or anything like that. He's more of a Pebble Beach guy and has a bunch of high-end Porsches. He had a brand-new Mercedes G55 and crashed it, but he bought it back from the insurance company and wanted to put the drivetrain in something. His Porsche guy said, 'I can only think of one guy that can pull that off,' so I got the job from that. He let me pick the car, so I got the 1954 Buick and we got the G-wagon and tore it all apart. There were six months of wiring to get everything to function—you cannot believe the amount of wiring in this thing. If you went end to end, it'd probably reach from here to California. It's crazy the stuff that Mercedes does. We did SEMA and a few shows, and he drove it a little bit, but he died about six months ago of a heart attack.
Some of the Others
Rad Rides has built many more cars than we have the space to show in this story, which is too bad since most of them are really cool and range from mild to wild, race to show, and everything in between. And economy be damned, the shop is always busy. You've seen the Torino he built for Poteet in this magazine (Sept. 2012) in bare metal, and that car just got paint. The shop also did a 1933 Ford land-speed car for Mark and Dennis Mariani that is picking away at the Bonneville record book as we speak. With a 10,000-plusrpm and a 250ci engine, Troy describes it as a hummingbird. Also seen in the background of past HOT ROD photos is a 1956 Buick the shop is building for a guy in Iowa with a twin-turbo Nailhead, and the wild third-gen Camaro we've also shown you before.
Like we said, there's always something going on at Rad Rides, and if you keep reading HOT ROD, you're sure to see them on a regular basis.

More Tornadoes Found....
More Tornadoes Found....
The National Weather Service determined that an EF-0 tornado hit the town of Siloam Springs today; however, a stronger tornado from that same complex produced damage in Westville, OK.
The EF-1 tornado developed just to the north of the bow echo that was responsible for the tornado in Siloam Springs and eastern Rogers. The winds in Westville were estimated between 100 and 110 mph. That tornado caused damage to barns and many trees. The Westville tornado lifted a few miles north of Cincinnati, AR.
These complexes usually have a northern and southern circulation known as bookend vorticies. These areas of vorticity are known for quick developing tornadoes.

Hi Karen, Probably not all that surprising. If your levels of vitamin B12 were so low, your metabolic rate (which is the rate that you burn energy) was probably very low, and so you were not generating a lot of heat yourself. Now you are having vitamin B12, your mitochondria (the little power-houses in the cell) are able to function faster and they generate the heat. You have probably got used to being colder and so now you feel hotter as your metabolic rate is higher. It is a good sign, it means that the VB12 is working.
Karen – my levels are awfully low, much like yours – was wondering how you are feeling now and have you had a follow up check on your B12 levels? If you could let me know on how you brought your levels up that would be great. Hope you get to feeling better!
mandie says
hiya, ive been told today that my b12 test has came back low at 168. ive goto have 6 injections in two weeks and one every three months after that. ive got a lot of neurological problems and have recently been put on 150 mg of b2 for glutaric aciduria type 2. ive also been on 5mg of b9 for past 5 or so years. is it just a coincidence that im on 3 different b vitamins or is it all related. i havent got a clue. thanks
Oh, that sounds bad, you must be worried. You may have to educate your doctor a bit. All of us have had to do it. Try to find out what type of vitamin B12 he/she is going to inject. If you can get hydroxocobalamin good, but cyanocobalamin is not what you want. Do you know why you are deficient. Is it whatyou eat,or is it some of the genetic problems that so many people on the site have? You will work out that you need to know. Do you know if you are deficient in anything else?
Recently a doctor I have been seeing has recommended I supplement with B12, I am sure based on an elevated MCV of 101. I have been taking a supplement (2 per day) for at least 18-24 months that includes 50mg B6, 5mg Folic Acid, 1000mcg B12 (methylcobalamine) and Betaine HCL 500mg. I have also exhibited B12 deficiency symptoms, ie. fatigue, memory issues, lack of motivation, numb fingers (recently). The doctor making this recommendation is addressing hormonal issues of note, as I am hypothyroid and my hormones are out of balance so I am taking bioidentical progesterone, estrogen, cortisol and thyroid to address these issues. I am not close to the optimal dose for my thyroid yet which I thought was the main issue causing fatigue. Anyway, I am wondering if I am not absorbing the B12 that i have taken for the past year and a half. I recently started taking a sublingual B12 supplement that is cyanocobalamin to see if I have positive results. Otherwise, I would like to try the methylcobalamine, (have found Jarrow 5mg) but after reading this blog, I am concerned about supplements that should be taken with this form of B12. Are Folic Acid and B6 the supplements that I should take along with this form of B12? If I take the methylcobalamine sublingual, would it be sufficient to take the Folic Acid and B6 orally as long as I take them concurrently? I would appreciate your comment on this.
I love your website! It is refreshing to find medical information that makes sense. I feel affirmed in my own conclusions after looking at the evidence of my own issues. Keep up the good work!
Tm is the only ER stressor that induces fatty liver. (A,B) Representative images of 5-dpf larvae treated for 48 hours with DMSO, BFA, Tg or Tm at the indicated concentrations. (A) Live transgenic larvae were imaged. (B) Fixed larvae were stained for neutral lipids with Oil Red O. Livers are circled. (C) Larvae treated with DMSO, 1 and 2 μg/ml BFA, 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 μM Tg or 1 μg/ml Tm from 3–5 dpf were stained with Oil Red O and scored for the presence (black bars) or absence (white bars) of steatosis. The total number of larvae scored and the number of clutches are indicated. **<0.01, ***<0.0001, calculated using Fisher's exact test. Scale bars: 200 μm (A), 1 mm (B).
Tm inhibits DPAGT1 (
Eckert et al., 1998
Lehrman et al., 1988
), the enzyme required for linking dolichol to the oligosaccharide that serves as a precursor for N-linked glycosylation (
Lehrman, 1991
), causing hypoglycosylated proteins to accumulate in the ER. The maximal tolerable Tm dose for exposing 3–5 dpf larvae was 1.5 μg/ml (
Mens R23323 Laceup Flats Bugatti euChZ8TZIE
). Efficacy was determined using Tg(−3.5fabp10a:gc-EGFP) lri500 transgenic zebrafish, which express a secreted glycoprotein, vitamin D-binding protein (Gc), fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) under the hepatocyte-specific fabp10 promoter ( Fringe Detail Espadrille in Black Black Glamorous E3NK2
). We assessed the glycosylation status of Gc-EGFP by immunoblotting with anti-GFP: the fully glycosylated form of Gc-EGFP migrated at 90 kDa and a hypoglycosylated, faster migrating moiety was detected in fish treated with Tm and in control lysates treated with peptide- N -glycosidase (PNGase) to remove all glycans ( striped shift dress Blue JWAnderson I7Idm2VoSb
). Importantly, neither BFA nor Tg impaired Gc-EGFP glycosylation ( Sparko UG WSD CNVS/LEA BLU Graph/BRIC RD Mens LowTop Sneakers Boxfresh WsHTB
) and none of the stressors significantly affected total Gc-EGFP expression ( Charleston Dress in Yellow size M also in SXSXXS Tularosa Sc8V1Lni8
). These data illustrate both Tm efficacy and show that any effects caused by Tg or BFA treatment cannot be attributed to a secondary effect of blocking N-glycosylation, consistent with findings in mammalian cells ( Sampath et al., 1992 ).
We analyzed larvae treated with each stressor from 3–5 dpf for gross morphology and liver size and shape using transgenic fish that express red fluorescent protein (RFP) in hepatocytes [
] (
Lovers Cove Mini Dress in Black size M also in LSXS Free People vzXCDK
) and steatosis incidence by Oil Red O staining ( Fig. 1B,C ). All stressors caused similar gross morphological defects, including slight liver enlargement, failure to inflate their swim bladder and moderate reduction in head and eye size, although larvae treated with 0.75 μg/ml Tg appeared more severely affected than those treated with Tm or BFA ( Fig. 1A ).

JOSHUA TREE >> Christopher Brandon Lee pleaded not guilty Tuesday to murder and special circumstance of lying in wait in connection with the death of Erin Corwin, the wife of a Twentynine Palms Marine.
Superior Court Judge Rod Cortez said Lee will be held without bail because of the special-circumstance charge.
Jonathan Corwin attended the hearing at the Joshua Tree courthouse and showed no emotion as his wife's accused killer entered the plea.
After the court proceedings, which lasted about 10 minutes, Corwin is believed to have been escorted out of the courthouse, via a side door, by a victim's rights advocate from the District Attorney's office. He did not make a statement.
David Kaloyanides of Chino, Lee's attorney, predicted that the trial will be a very long one, in large part because the special-circumstances charge significantly complicates the case.
All parties will return to the Joshua Tree courthouse on Sept. 16 so that the judge and Kaloyanides can get an idea of what evidence the prosecution still needs to send him.
At this point, without seeing any of the evidence, Kaloyanides said, "I'm not sure there is anything there to support Mr. Lee doing anything but knowing the victim."
Dates for further proceedings might be set at the Sept. 16 hearing, Kaloyanides said.
By law, Lee is entitled to a preliminary hearing within 60 days of Sept. 16. But Kaloyanides said he may need more time to analyze the evidence against his client.
"It has been a very long investigation. They apparently have quite a bit of evidence that they need to turn over to me."
Through most of Tuesday afternoon's hearing Corwin sat with his fingers inter-connected in a relaxed state. He seemed to gaze straight ahead in an unfocused way.
Erin Corwin disappeared on June 28 and her body was found at the bottom of a 140-foot mine in a remote area after an intense seven-week search.
Authorities believe Erin Corwin and Lee were having an extramarital affair.
The arrest warrant revealed that .22-caliber fired cartridge casings and pieces of rebar were recovered near where Corwin's body was recovered.
Head stamps on the fired cartridge casings were consistent with the head stamps on .22-caliber casings recovered from Lee's vehicle and residence.
The rebar pieces near the body were consistent with pieces recovered from Lee's vehicle, and tire impressions near the scene were consistent with tread found on Lee's vehicle, the warrant said.

A Few of my Favorite Calming & Uplifting Herbs
Not an exhaustive list of course, but a small number of the plants I'm most likely to use in any given situation. Don't forget to try Magnesium and other trace minerals for any seemingly random emotional problems.
These kind of plants often act very differently according to the individual, and so it's important to proceed somewhat slowly and for the person to try to be self-aware and open when working with the plants, so as to get the most out of the experience.
And while plants can profoundly affect our process and our ability to be with our emotions, it's up to us to work through our issues, and to have a fierce love for our own spirits so that we can mindfully and gladly journey through the pain and bliss, joy and terror, great loss and immense gifting that is our lives.
Evening Primrose – Great for food based anxiety in those recovering from eating disorders as well as depression arising from digestive problems (David Winston). I also use Evening Primrose hormonally related anxiety and depression, it's a very uplifting and calming plant without turning your mind to mush. I also use it in general anxiety and depression accompanied by nervousness and stress. Perhaps one of the most overlooked emotional modulators out there.
Monkeyflower – Depression with fear, especially of pain and repressed sexuality. Great for those who've forgotten how to play like little kids, like SJW, I believe it has the ability to help adjust solar energies in the individual.
Blisswort (Skullcap) – Probably the nervine I use the most for myself. It has a special affinity for the nerves and so is especially good for those who feel like anything that touches their skin is electrocuting them or that they're going to lose their mind from the noise when the stereo is barely turned on. Great for those recovering from meth and addictions to other uppers. Skullcap is a tonic and can slowly but surely rebuild fried nerves.
Peach – Calming, cooling moistening. An ideal calming agent for those dried out Pitta people who are so hot bothered they can't even eat. Nice for stressed out, nauseous, insomniac mothers to be. Small doses are best, just a few drops really.
Rose – For anyone and everyone who needs to calm down and smell the flowers a bit more. Especially appropriate for those who have depression from a lack of self-love and anxiety from sexual or romantic betrayal/violence. Great for balancing fierceness and vulnerability, where those aspects are out of whack. Very useful in cases of hot, lingering forms of rotating depression/fatigue and severe anxiety with total lack of libido or fear of sex. For those who are burning themselves out from lack of love and compassion. Heart opening and centering for the whole body. Can you tell I use this plant a lot, it is, in fact, the flower that gave me back my heart.
Nettle – An adaptogen for the adrenals (Henriette Kress). Great for hypothyroid, chronic fatigue and brain fog. I haven't tried it in depression per se, but have now used in on myself and a couple other cases where there's overwhelming tiredness (and therefor, often a feeling of bodily depression) from adrenal burnout.
Sage – More than a nervine, this is a tonic for rebuilding the nervous system where there has been deep and longlasting trauma. It helps to restore the integrity of the feeling senses. Specifically useful where there's shaking and tremors, anxiety with overwhelming fear, and profound burnout.
Western Mugwort – For those who have lost their trust in the natural order of things, who lack a sense of deep security. It can give a calm, "mothered" feeling to those who need it most. It's an intense plant and can give some people nightmares. A sacred plant of many cultures, it's best to ease into a relationship with Mugwort, and to be very conscious when working with it. Not everyone experiences the nervine/spiritual effects, some people just get the digestive and liver protective elements.
Monarda – A somewhat euphoric relaxant, stimulating to the circulation. Opens the heart to more fully experience the beauty of life (Matt Wood). Combines well with Rosemary and/or Sage.
Sweet Clover – A nice gentle relaxer with an affinity for moving stuck energy and patterns.
Lavender – One of my students calls Lavender tincture "a hug in a bottle", this is so true! Lovely anxiety, insomnia and the depression that comes from constant worry.
Rosemary – Great for stagnant, cold depression in people whose digestion is slow and tense, subject to headaches and brain fog and a tendency towards low blood pressure and chronic fatigue.
Motherwort – A really nice relaxant nervine for the fried and frazzled with a tendency to palpitations and other heart stress. Good for those who's anxiety wears them down into depression.
Wild Peony Root – Antispasmodic, calmative and an all over lovely plant, especially for those with an overactive reproductive system (short cycles) and useful for ovarian cyst pain too.
Elder Flower – An emotional restorative after immense grief, and a gentle nervine for those who need a bit more of Faery in their vision of life.
California/Mexican Poppy – A great general nervine for nearly anything, and it blends well with most other nervine type herbs too. I specifically like it for depression and anxiety from pain. Great combined with Blisswort and Sage for deep nerve trauma. The Poppy is about taking a break from whatever is torturing you. Herbalist Mimi Kamp has a story about being really really stressed out, taking Cali. Poppy and totally forgetting what she was stressed out about. And when she did remember, she didn't care anymore. That is the nature of the Poppies. This particular subspecies isn't addictive and while it is comforting doesn't give the big oblivion some of its cousins do.
Corydalis/Golden Smoke – For hysteria, grief and fear so big that you can't step away and even see what's going on. You can only feel the terror and pain of it. This plant helps us calm down and pull away enough to see the bigger picture. It has its uses in severe chronic pain, but I usually prefer it in acute emotional issues. Very similar to Bleeding Heart (a close relative), Corydalis should be used with care and in fairly small doses (no more than a tsp of tincture at a time) and I use only a few drops at most normally.
Violet – Well, I haven't tried the tincture for depression or anxiety, but just living near this plant is enough to make me joyful!

Hi Kiva,
I just wanted to say that I love your blog. Do you think that I could possibly find plants in my area (Nova Scotia, Canada) that would help with depression, anxiety, and PTSD syptoms? My meds just don't seem to help me as much as I thought they would.
I can't wait to take the sacred heart course. (Yeah it's me. Heehee) email@example.com
Blessings to you and everyone at the anima center,

[…] herbs are linked to in the title heading of that herb. You can find a past incarnation of my Nervine Differentials right here. Some bits of it can be found integrated into this current post, but most of this is new, refined […]
I chilled out just reading this. Thank You Kiva Anemone Rose
aloha Kiva! this list is indespensible! i love your words that come through in how you talk about the herbs and their properties. i am semi-new to studying herbs and have probably a silly question for you but when you are talking about skullcap for example… or motherwort… does it matter how you take the herbs? infusions, tinctures, or capsul form..?

Gun owners in Cook County will now face fines if they don't promptly file a report with authorities if their gun is lost or stolen.
Under the ordinance passed by the Cook County Board of Commissioners Tuesday, gun owners have 48 hours to notify the sheriff's department of the make, model and serial number of lost, stolen, sold, transferred or destroyed firearms.
Fines are $1,000 for the first violation, $1,500 for each gun on the second offense and $2,000 after that.
County Board President Toni Preckwinkle introduced the measure. It's part of an effort to crack down on straw purchasers, or those who buy guns legally and provide the weapons to people can't legally possess them.
"This ordinance is an important step to ensure that guns purchased legally do not wind up in the hands of criminals," Preckwinkle said after commissioners approved the measure.
The law goes into effect in August.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and police Supt. Garry McCarthy are pushing for a similar measure in the city, including jail time for violators.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

This complete summary of the Deerfield, Massachusetts, trolley debate of 1900 was printed in a nearby newspaper in 1960. Deerfield's residents feared the trolley as a force of modernization and worried that it would change the town's character. In a sense, they were correct: the town's reputation was built by visitors coming for its seemingly unspoiled antiquity and many of them rode the trolley. The trolley, completed in late 1900, ran for more than twenty years. But an even more powerful force for change, the automobile, was about to explode on the town and the trolley line was forced into bankruptcy and closure in 1924.

Safe Kids of Central Wyoming Winter Safety Day
The cold weather in Wyoming does little to keep winter sports enthusiasts inside – especially children. Children ages 14 and under are at a high risk for winter sports injuries. Safe Kids of Central Wyoming along with Kohl's are taking steps to keep kids safe on Mar. 2, 2013 for Winter Safety Day at Hogadon Ski Area.
Safe Kids of Central Wyoming will be providing helmets to children for skiing/snowboarding and teach parents and children how to create a safe environment to ensure every child is safe when participating in winter sports. Kohl's is sponsoring the event on Mar. 2, 2013 at Hogadon Ski Area. The event will run 9:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m and lessons are available that day by calling 235-8499. A chance will be provided for those who cannot afford to "Learn to Ski/Snowboard."
Here are useful tips to keep children safe when doing outdoor activities this winter:
Sledding: Kids can suffer serious head injuries from sledding, and should always wear a helmet. When sledding, do not go down a hill head-first. Sit up, face forward, use a clear, safe path and make sure an adult is supervising. A good sledding hill does not lead to a street, a body of water or a crowded gathering place. In addition, remember to inspect sleds regularly for worn, damaged or loose parts that could break or snag at high speed.
Snowmobiles: Children under 6 should not be riding a snowmobile and no one under 16 should drive one. All snowmobile drivers and passengers should be wearing helmets designed for high-speed motor sports - a bike helmet isn't sufficient for a four-wheeled motorcycle that can go up to 90 miles per hour.
Ice and Hockey: Helmets are a must for ice hockey, along with mouth guards, knee pads and elbow, shoulder and shin protection. If skating or playing, teach kids how to protect themselves if they fall through ice. Remind them to stretch their arms out wide and kick as if swimming, shout for help, and try to crawl backward onto solid ice. This particular safety tip will be featured at Safe Kids Swim Morn on January 21st, 10:00 a.m. – noon at the Casper Aquatic Center. Admission is free.
General: Always wear sport-specific, properly fitting safety gear when participating in winter sports activities. Since proper equipment fit and maintenance are important for safety, bring your child along when shopping for skates, helmets, boots, etc.
- Dress in layers and wear warm, close-fitting clothes. Make sure that long scarves are tucked in so they don't get entangled in lifts, ski poles or other equipment.
- Stay hydrated and wears sunscreen with a rating of SPF 15 or higher.
If children become distracted, irritable, or begin to hyperventilate, they may be suffering from hypothermia or altitude sickness, or are too tired to participate safely in winter sports. They should go indoors, rest and warm up.

To gently thwart the Charleston County Public Library's efforts to discard books that haven't recently circulated, on each visit I check out at least one or two older, lesser-known titles from five to 50 years ago or more. This is in part due to my taste in antiquated non-fiction and fiction, but it also serves as a context and measuring stick for evaluating newer books.
Readers interested in pursuing a similar strategy might consider the following selections: Fiction readers may seek out Thomas Hardy, Charles Dickens, Daphne Du Maurier, Rudyard Kipling, Ernest Hemingway, P.G. Wodehouse and John Mortimer.
Carl Sandburg's "Always the Young Strangers" and "Ever the Winds of Chance," as well as Gerald Durrell's "My Family and Other Animals" are autobiographies so enjoyable one doesn't want them to end. Mystery writer Ngaio Marsh's books like "Artists in Crime" and "Clutch of Constables" engage imagination and intellect in a way similar to Dorothy Sayers' books.
Children's book titles that stand out are "Gone-Away Lake" by Elizabeth Enright, "The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate," "The Willouby's" by Lois Lowry and Edward Eager's "Half-Magic."
Well-written and informative gardening books like Katherine S. White's "Onward and Upward in the Garden," Beverly Nichols' "Down the Garden Path" and Margery Fish's "We Made a Garden" always inspire.
Checking out older titles may not act as a wrench in library machinations. But books like these should always be on our library's shelves.

Regatta Road
For those of you lucky enough to be somewhere else on April 26, you missed the closure of both lanes of I-26 eastbound for about 10 hours. If you lived on Highway 78 between Highway 27 and Jedburg Road, you paid the price. I had to call the Dorchester County sheriff to find out that a gasoline tanker crashed on the interstate, creating a huge environmental hazard to be cleaned up.
I called Live Five News, which began running the crawl line alert that the lanes were closed.
I was surprised Sunday morning that I had to get to page B2 of The Post and Courier to find a small article on the wreck.
Do you think that had something to do with this being the death-trap stretch, where some think protecting huge pine trees in the median is more important than human life or environmental damage caused by wrecks like these?
Maybe Jim Rozier or Sen. Larry Grooms will buy a half-page ad to explain why it would be more important to add pine trees than to get two lanes added to I-26 from Summerville to at least I-95.
It would really have been exciting if I-26 had been closed completely in both directions for 12 hours.
It is only a matter of time till it happens.

During a recent visit to a Goodwill store, I was told that wheelchairs and walkers would no longer be available for handicapped customers.
Because I am a 100 percent disabled Korean War veteran and a stroke victim, I have trouble walking and have fallen twice. My VA wheelchair is too heavy to load and unload each day.
It's sad when a large tax-exempt business, which survives on donated items, cannot at least provide one safety certified wheelchair per store. One handicapped worker in Goodwill had no safety certificate on her wheelchair.
If I were boss, I'd be a lot more concerned about the donated pressure cookers in light of recent events.

As an audiologist I would like to thank the Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield Company for adding hearing aid coverage for their members.
In an era of increasing medical costs and decreasing benefits, this improved coverage allows members to obtain many hearing aid models at no cost.
This is a huge benefit for their hearing-impaired members as Medicare offers no hearing aid coverage.
Most health insurance plans do not cover hearing aids, and the out-of pocket expenses for hearing aids range from $2,000 to $8,000 per pair every five years. I hope other insurance carriers will follow suit.
Over 20 million hearing-impaired Americans do not wear hearing aids, and cost is a major factor.
I encourage policyholders who do not have this coverage to contact their insurance carriers.

Five years ago, if asked about the future prospects of Mark Sanford and John Edwards of North Carolina, I would quickly have said: "Good, solid future on national bases."
In the last several years, my opinion of both has spiraled down. Why? I was hoping that Mark Sanford was besieged by media just looking for negative stories.
Now that I have moved into the Charleston area, I have decided to not even make a contribution to the Republican effort.
I do not want my "measly" little contribution to be used to bring his paramour to these United States.
We can serve him better, say, by giving him a one-way ticket to South America. That way he can be close enough for them to walk the Andes Mountain trails.
I am voting Democratic in Tuesday's election. All of you faithful women (and men) should do the same.
Don't send Mr. Sanford to Washington, D.C., to represent us.

Voters who support Ms. Colbert Busch are in for a surprise if they believe that a Democrat, elected by Democratic money, can keep her promise to "listen only to my constituents."
More than a million dollars of "outside money" from the Democratic National Committee and other Democratic national groups is being poured into South Carolina, funding personal attacks on Mark Sanford. They do not address the important issues, but they are effective.
If Ms. Colbert Busch wins, the Democratic leadership may permit her to cast a contrary vote during preliminary skirmishing, or after the outcome of a bill is known, and her vote won't make a difference in the outcome. But when push comes to shove, on a key vote she will have no choice except to obey Nancy Pelosi. Money talks, and money will have elected her.
Any conservative who goes to the polling place without realizing how things really are may be in for a big disappointment.

I'm very concerned about the security at hospitals in Charleston.
I visited Roper Hospital and the Medical University recently. The only obstacle that stopped me from entering specific patients' rooms was knowing the room number. To find out a room number, all I had to do was ask the information desk personnel. There were no security personnel present.
I frequently travel to Florida and have visited hospitals in the area to see relatives and friends. Every hospital that I visited was secure. Armed security was present, and picture ID was required for entry.
Is it that we are more trusting here in Charleston, or are people here different and less prone to violence in soft targets such as hospitals? We have already seen what one deranged person can do in a few minutes in an unprotected school.
It is my opinion that the security in local hospitals needs to be increased. Outside of the school system, we have an extremely vulnerable and helpless population in hospitals who deserve more protection.

The U.S. Army has concluded the path forward for its Armed Aerial Scout (AAS) requirement is either a service life-extension program (SLEP) for the Bell OH-58D/F Kiowa Warrior or a new development program.
After evaluating five off-the-shelf AAS candidates, "we did not find a single aircraft out there that could meet Army requirements," said Lt. Gen. William Phillips, principal military deputy for acquisition, testifying before Congress May 8.
"If we go forward with AAS, it essentially will be a new development program," he told a hearing of the airland subcommittee of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Voluntary flight demonstrations (VFDs) were conducted last year with the Bell OH-58D Block 2, Boeing AH-6i, EADS North America AAS-72X/X+ and MD Helicopters MD 540F. AgustaWestland demonstrated the AW139M as a surrogate for its AW169 AAS offering.
Citing "uncertain times and fiscal constraints," Lt. Gen. James Barclay, deputy chief of staff, told the subcommittee the Army plans make a decision "in late summer or early fall" whether to recommend "a new-development AAS or SLEP of the Kiowa Warrior."
"The Army is currently reviewing information obtained through the VFD and industry responses to requests for information [RFI]," Philips said in written testimony. The RFI drew responses from bidders who did not have helicopters available to demonstrate.
These included Sikorsky, which is proposing the 220-kt S-97 Raider coaxial-rotor light tactical helicopter. Two industry funded prototypes of the Raider are being built, the first of which is scheduled to fly at the end of 2014.
Barclay said the cockpit and sensor upgrade program for the Kiowa Warrior, which updates the OH-58D to the F model, "must continue" to address safety and obsolescence issues until a viable replacement is procured.
The first OH-58F prototype flew in late April, the first unit is to be equipped by the end of fiscal 2016, and all 368 OH-58Ds are planned to be upgraded by 2025. Retirement of the OH-58F has been delayed to 2036 from 2025.
Statements by Army leaders that aircraft evaluated in the VFD did not offer the required "generational" change in capability have puzzled bidders (AWIN first, May 8). EADS says its AAS-72X+ was rated as meeting the Army's performance and affordability goals.
Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) criticized the Army for terminating procurement of EADS's UH-72A Lakota light utility helicopter, on which the ASS-72X is based, before it had made a decision on AAS. The UH-72A assembly line is in Columbus, Miss.
Barclay said the Army had completed procurement for the National Guard and Reserves, and that the final 31 aircraft that will now not be procured were all scheduled for the active component.
They were intended to cover gaps left by the forward deployment of Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawks, but with the drawdown in Afghanistan those aircraft have come back to the continental U.S. and the UH-72As are no longer required, he said.
Phillips said the Army has had discussions with EADS North America on the production schedule and the possibility of foreign military sales keeping the UH-72 line open.

Contact: Jerry Horn 540-785-4733
Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, made the following statement in the light of the decision this week by a federal district court in Nebraska to strike down the ban on partial-birth abortion:
"Even Americans who describe themselves as "pro-choice" continue to oppose partial-birth abortion. Ultimately, this procedure will be put to an end in America, and Priests for Life applauds the Bush administration for its steadfast determination to continue defending the ban through the appeal process, all the way to the Supreme Court.
"While the defense of this ban continues, the American people will go to the polls. The November 2 elections will determine what kind of Federal judges are nominated and confirmed in the next four years, as we choose our President and Senators, whose responsibility it is to select these judges. Our best response to Court decisions like the one from Nebraska this week is to get politically active and to activate others.
"Moreover, pro-life people should remind themselves that although they have heard so much about partial-birth abortion over the years, most Americans still have no idea what it is. The task of person-to-person education, particularly through the graphic images of the procedure, must continue full-force. In the end, we will prevail."

Nick Morgan fell in 3:09 to No. 1 seed Quinn Dreher of Silberton at 182 pounds. Ramon Ramirez lost to No. 3 seed Mason Montgomery of Ashland at 195 pounds. Ramirez did give a valiant effort to stay out of a pin or tech fall though. Then Juan Karloz Hernandez lost 6-3 to No. 1 seed Steely Smith of West Albany. Smith controlled the match most of the way and while Hernandez starting taking some shots in the final minute, he couldn't get Smith to the mat. All of Hernandez's points came from stalling, an escape and a technical violation. All of the Eagles remaining in the competition (except Marquez) will conclude the evening by wrestling consolation matches.

Just curious, with the advent of Accordance 10, what has become of the speciality collections (like the Jewish collections)? Are they still around or will they be merged into something else?

We have Jewish and Catholic and many other add-on bundles. Most can be added to the Starter, others are intended to add to the higher Collections. They all offer affordable ways to add related groups of modules to your Accordance.

Excellent link. Thanks for showing that to me! Looks like some excellent resources there at affordable prices. Definitely a page I'll look at more. Since I'm forgoing an iPhone 5 this year and waiting until next year, I'm eyeballing replacing it with a midrange or larger Accordance Collection like possibly the Essential collection so I can really get a handle on Accordance before I start hardcore seminary studies. I want to really get a solid grip on the app before I go into full Greek/Hebrew studies since I know I'll do a lot better in them with it. :-)

Dartmouth defends decision to cancel classesBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
April 24. 2013 9:58PM
HANOVER - Dartmouth College canceled classes Wednesday after school officials said racial and sexual orientation-based threats were made in a Dartmouth online chatroom.
The threats, which targeted students' sexual orientation and race, followed a Friday protest of about a dozen students who showed up at the Dimensions Welcome Show for incoming students to highlight what they say are underreported sexual assaults and racial incidents.
Interim President Carol Folt defended the decision to cancel classes while speaking to about 1,500 people in front of Dartmouth Hall Wednesday afternoon.
Instead of classes the students were asked to attend discussions and "teach-ins" to address the issue instead.
Speaking to students, Folt likened the campus climate to a "pressure cooker very close to exploding."
"We believe we have reached a tipping point," she said. "What began as a protest at a cherished student-run event has become a nightmare for many, many students. ... We believe the well-being of our students, our community, is at risk .... And we believe that whether you agree with our decision or not you would join together in a day of reflection, of kindness, and an affirmation of our humanity as a community."
The comments in the online chatroom for Dartmouth students and alumni only threatened violence against the students who protested the campus climate, sexual assaults, violence, discrimination, homophobia, intolerance and social divisiveness, she said.
Folt said the college was pursuing those who made the comments and would follow its internal policies and procedures privately to deal with it.
"We will not try this in the court of public opinion," Folt said.
"It's time to take this moment and turn it into a beautiful start for renewed collaboration and communication," she said. "We are going to take these issues that face the nation and hold ourselves to a higher standard."
"Today we take a time out. We take a day to reflect on what it means to be a community," said Charlotte Johnson, dean of the college. "This is our Dartmouth. This is your Dartmouth. And at Dartmouth there is no place for violence. There is no place for racism. There is no place for homophobia. There is no place for hate."
Bruce Sacerdote, Dartmouth economics professor, also addressed the large crowd of students, saying he didn't know about the threats until he was asked to attend a faculty meeting Tuesday night to discuss them. Faculty at that meeting made the decision to cancel Wednesday classes.
Sacerdote said he was shocked by the threats.
"Not just generic statements, but threats aimed at specific students," he said.
He quoted one of the threats: "Everyone loves Dartmouth and nobody who doesn't should be executed."
"I was floored," he said.
He also said the students who had been performing at the Dimensions Show have met with the social justice protesters and the two groups have expressed respect for each other.
"These are not the people posting the violent vitriol," he said of the performers.
"Today is really about what happened after the protest," he said. "Sadly these issues have been going on for a long time at Dartmouth and across the country."
Students also addressed the crowd. Senior Duncan Hall of New Zealand, 22, said he came to Dartmouth in the fall of 2009.
"I was excited. I was nervous. I came hiding a secret," Hall said.
Because of the respect shown to him by his new friends at Dartmouth, he was able to "come out" in his freshman year he said, freeing "himself from a weight that had been bringing him down for years."
"Their respect saved me from a minute longer of pain and depression," Hall said. "Dartmouth are we a place where that respect has faded?"
He called on students to return to respect and to be more conscious of their behavior, words and attitudes.
During the rally some students held up signs protesting the cancelation of classes.
Sign holder Dartmouth sophomore Jon Miller said he has friends who write for the college newspaper who receive threats and hateful messages online all the time for their printed opinions, but classes are not canceled.
"The threats online I think were atrocious," he said.
Miller, though, said he was also offended by the small protest at the event on Friday because the students had "forcibly" entered and disrupted a show for incoming students.

Military and civilian agencies have been approving and/or adopting smart phones by the bushel, but the surge into mobile computing can be complicated by matters of authentication. Many smart phones don't yet work with the authentication agencies require — Personal Identity Verification cards for civilian agencies, Common Access Cards for Defense agencies.
It's not that security is being ignored. The National Institute of Standards and Technology in July 2012 issued a draft of Special Publication 800-124, Revision 1, "Guidelines for Managing and Securing Mobile Devices in the Enterprise" that offers recommendations for selecting and managing mobile devices, whether provided by an agency or personally owned.
And the Defense Department, which recently OK'd Android, iPhone and BlackBerry models for military use, won't actually use new devices until the Defense Information System Agency implements a mobile device management system later this year.
Manufacturers, meanwhile, are working to make their devices more ID-friendly. Although the BlackBerry 10.0 line of phones, recently approved by DOD, don't work with CACs, subsequent versions, 10.1 and 10.2, are expected to, NextGov reported.
Agencies also could find authentication getting easier with baiBrowser, a Bluetooth-enabled app just released by Biometric Associates that lets users with iPhones and iPads — and, soon, Android devices — use CAC, PIV, PIV-I (Personal Identity Verification-Interoperable) or Commercial Identity Verification cards for authentication.
The baiBrowser has been tested with Army Knowledge Online sites, Air Force portals, the Defense Finance and Accounting Services' myPay site and most Defense Outlook Web Access sites, company president Scott Johnson said in an announcement. The app supports both the baiMobile 3000MP Bluetooth Smart Card Reader, a sleeve that fits over the phone, and the forthcoming baiMobile 301MP attached reader.
The iOS version is available as a free download from the iTunes App Store (users have to buy the reader). The company said the Android version is being tested with U.S. agencies and is expected to be released soon via the Google Play Store.
Mobile device management is a growing issue for public-sector agencies, as smart phones, tablets and other portable devices make their way into enterprises, leading some industry experts to wonder if the days of smart-card IDs are numbered. Some say they think hardware authentication tokens such as CAC and PIV cards will give way to on-board biometric readers or other software options.
The real key is two-factor authentication — whether via hardware or software — so that users need more than just a password to verify their identities. There are a growing number of soft tokens available, each with their strengths and weaknesses. NetworkWorld just reviewed eight such services.
Whether, or when, agencies move away from smart ID cards is anybody's guess. But even with CAC and PIV cards, their options for mobile authentication are expanding.

Can I purchase a CAC/PIV Card Reader for my personal computer and laptop? If so, where can I purchase one and the installing program? Thank you
If you can get an iPad/iPhone reader and app for $29, with FCC, Apple, FIPS, GSA yada yada approval on hardware and software, you should buy it right away!
If something sounds too good to be true... should raise red flag of is this apples to apple and what is not being disclosed or accurately represented?
$29 is more like a generic USB PC reader and depending on what version of Windows you have, you'll spend $29 again on Active Identity (HID) software to make it do something useful.
Nothing's real free, just depends on whether the taxpayer footed the bill, or it's built into the mobile device cost, the OS cost, the hardware cost etc.
keep in mind standardization and ergonomy...
did you extend your iphone or ipad with this reader? and inserted a CAC card in it...?
this is not ergonomic at all, and don't be naive the market price of this reader is US$29... means the app is not free ;-)
it is true, and the ergonomy of it is a real added value ! the point is that the fingerprint reader is to slow and so long fingerprint data are not stored on the smartcard, why should men pay for non-usable reader ? next generation will be certainly more trustable !
conclusions: for each use case exist an appropriate form factor, and if competitors starts competition, the winner will be the end-users !
Recommend looking for market neutral information at a site such as Military CAC.
That site lists *all* of the reader and software solutions, clearly identify what has shipped for months or years, what is new and what is roadmap / futures / vaporware.
A few minutes there and with Google reveals...
iTunes lists BAI support just for the 3000MP device. BAI offers that at $338.20, the most expensive reader in the marketplace.
There are mandatory annual fees of $57.80 on top of that. No other vendor charges these fees.
For developer and technical support, iTunes names a private individual (also known as "STI-Consult" or "Identiy") from a government rental unit in Belgium ("ICAB").
It is not clear whether the registration goes to BAI or to the individual/company in Belgium.
There is also a great IOS solution already in the field--the Thursby PKard Reader. We have 14 here where I work and the solution is elegantly easy to set up and use by our non-techie users. The Thursby reader looks like it is about 1/3 the size of the baiBrowser shown in the article's photo. I'm using my CAC as a reference for that estimate. Size matters for mobile users. Like this new device, the app to use it is free, the device is not. There will likely be a flood of these devices from different sources as we move to more mobile solutions. Hopefully the price per unit will plummet when that happens.
