STATELINE (WIFR) -- 2012 was a very big year. We've had a lot of local stories get picked up by the national media.
Some were embarrassing, others let the world know manufacturing is making a comeback, at least in the Rockford area.
One of the most shocking stories to rock the Stateline: the Dixon comptroller scandal. Rita Crundwell was convicted of stealing more than $53 million from taxpayers.
The Belvidere Chrysler plant started making the Dodge Dart, which some call the region's biggest single economic event in half a century.
Woodward also broke ground on a new $200 million facility that's expected to help bring 600 new jobs over the next five years.
Soon to be laid off Freeport Sensata employees worked tirelessly to stop the closure of their plant, by setting up a tent city called Bainport. They got the attention of cable television hosts and civil rights leaders like Jesse Jackson, who willingly got arrested in the name of protest.
The community mourned for the three REACT crew members killed when their helicopter crashed near Rochelle.
And the two Belvidere North cheerleaders who died in a car crash on their way to a basketball game.
The debate over the use of deadly force re-emerged after rockford police officers were involved in three fatal shootings.
A change in law allowed us to bring you into the courtroom, so you can stay up to date on two high profile murder cases. Todd Smith is being tried for the murder of his wife Katrina, whose body was found in the Rock River after being missing for two weeks.
Cameras have also shown you Kody Walsh, the man accused of murdering a woman on I90 and then leading police on a week-long man-hunt.
A Roscoe recycling center turned into a crime scene when a baby was found with the trash. He was later called Baby Noah. His mother is still no where to be found.
A contract dispute in District 205 prompted the Rockford teacher's union to go on a two-day strike. Voters also approved a 139-million dollar bond referendum that allows the district to start making improvements to its aging schools.
We all became Huskies this month when Northern Illinois University beat Kent State, making them the first MAC school to ever play in a BCS bowl.
Congressman Don Manzullo's near 20-year reign ended, after he lost his bid for re-election to Congressman Adam Kinzinger. Due to redistricting, for the first time since 1850 the Stateline will be represented with two congressional seats. Republican Kinzinger and Democrat Cheri Bustos.
And it certainly was a crazy year weatherwise. 80's in March brought on a record setting spring, and the dry hot summer created quite the drought. And up until December 20th we went nearly 300 days without snow.

I took my Drawing class to see the Japanese woodcut exhibition at the Fitzwilliam, we did some drawing on site from the prints, it was very useful for ideas about comosition, and very interesting to read about the stories behind the prints.
Snow Country: Woodcuts of the Japanese Winter
Japanese artists have long responded to the beauty of a world changed by frozen forms and stilled by a blanket of white snow.
This selection of prints by artists such as Hokusai and Hiroshige includes stories from poetry and myth, with journeys, ambushes and skirmishes in the snow; children throwing snowballs and building snow-rabbits; the everyday struggle of travellers making their way through snowdrifts; the stillness of people indoors gazing out at the unbroken spell of freshly frozen snow; and the almost abstract world of a pure snowy landscape where people play little part.
All works in the exhibition are from the Fitzwilliam Museum's collection.

Staying true to his cool, calm, and collected persona, Keith Urban is keeping silent for now on what went down between fellow judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey during American Idol auditions in Charlotte, N.C. this week.
As CBS Local has reported, the "production came to a quick halt when both female judges began to fight on set over a contestant's performance."
A video of yesterday's spat clearly shows Minaj shouting at Carey and not holding back on the profanity.
And who's sitting between the two? It's poor Keith Urban. He makes what appear to be a few attempts to defuse the situation, including holding up his hands, and then calmly saying something to Nicki (it's inaudible). However, in the end he can't do much except stare down at his red coffee cup.
But if you're afraid Keith will have a hard time keeping his sanity on the set during trying times, worry not, because the guy is made of some pretty strong stuff. As he told Chicago's US99.5 in an interview last week, "I know how to handle myself."
So today, instead of saying anything about the much-publicized, profanity-laced spat between the two divas, Keith instead chose to tweet out a simple message that focused on the positive side of the Charlotte auditions. He called the auditions "awesome" and said they had a "lotta" soul, country, and "down home cool."
Awesome #IdolAuditions day today Charlotte. Lotta soul, lotta country, lotta down home cool.-KU
— Keith Urban (@KeithUrban) October 3, 2012
The tweet clearly echoes what Keith told US99.5 last week, which is that overall he's been "amazed at the level of talent" that he and the other judges have been seeing. And that, fireworks on the set or not, he is "blessed" he gets to "do what I do."
Here's hoping that Idol auditions don't get as heated going forward.

The greatest show of support for America's veterans, whose sacrifices are being honored this weekend, actually came last Tuesday. A record number of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans — 16, with some races still undecided — were elected to Congress. Of that group, nine are first-time officeholders and two, Democrats Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, are the first women who served in Iraq to be sent to Congress. They will, of course, be powerful watchdogs for veterans' affairs.
They and their fellow veterans know, in a way that other members of Congress might not, that many people who served in Iraq and Afghanistan are struggling with the physical and mental toll of war. Suicide, homelessness, and unemployment are lingering threats that require congressional oversight. As the wars draw to a close, the fates of the 2.5 million Americans who served in combat in the years after Sept. 11, 2001, will depend on the vigilance of those in public office. It should be a comfort to veterans to know that so many of their number will be in the room when important decisions get made.
But their greater contribution may be in other committee assignments, beyond those overseeing Veterans Affairs. The Defense Department budget is slated for cuts — a necessary step toward putting the nation's fiscal house in order, but one that should be implemented in a way that preserves important functions. The State Department, with its officials struggling to resolve overseas conflicts at the bargaining table, could always benefit from the insights of people who know the consequences of diplomatic failure.
Some congressional veterans, such as Duckworth, who is a double amputee, can speak personally about the importance of access to medical care and the rights of Americans with disabilities. And even on the domestic front, skills learned at war can be transferable: Many of the veterans who were elected to Congress were engaged in "nation building;" thus, they are trained in rebuilding infrastructure and understand its role in spurring economic development.
But what's most impressive about this group is that they chose to continue their service to the nation, this time as elected officials. They did not come out of the professional political class. Many of them have lived under the stress of flying bullets and the threat of the enemies in their midst. Perhaps these new congressional members can help their future colleagues to put adversity in perspective and get down to work.

ELMHURST – It's tough to find a silver lining in the St. Charles North girls basketball team's 63-30, season-opening loss to Neuqua Valley at the York Thanksgiving Tournament on Wednesday.
If there is one, it may be that North's starting lineup was comprised two freshmen and two sophomores playing against a deep Wildcats squad that returns a wealth of experience.
The inexperience showed early for the North Stars as Neuqua Valley raced to a 13-0 lead in the first two minutes of the game. The Wildcats' relentless press forced six North turnovers to start the game.
It wasn't until 6:34 into the quarter that the North Stars attempted their first shot. North was a bit shell-shocked at the start of the game to say the least.
"We weren't happy with the first quarter and we had the ability to change that pretty quickly," North coach Colleen Backer said. "We had some jitters early but we played hard for four quarters, no question."
North trailed 22-3 after one quarter but made adjustments that showed at the start of the second. The young North Stars began breaking Neuqua's press and also began fronting the Wildcats' big front line on defense.
Both fixes eased Neuqua's ability to pressure and North began to cash in offensively. Natalie Winkates and Sam Novak came off the bench and each scored four points that saw the North Stars' cut the lead to 29-13.
But, the Wildcats began the second half on a 14-0 run that saw the lead swell to 47-16 before Kyla Helsel hit a three to end a nearly six minute scoreless draught.
"They (Neuqua Valley) are a tough team but that's reality for us," Backer said. "We've got a tough schedule and we develop it that way. We are a young team – we started two freshmen and two sophomores. I think they and the rest of our team can handle it though."
As they did for most of the night, the Wildcats relied on their superior size inside. 6-foot-2 sophomore center Bryce Menendez led a balanced Neuqua attack with 14 points, many of which came via layups and short jump shots.
"The bottom line is we have a core group of kids who have been playing in the same system of the last couple of years," Neuqua Valley coach Mike Williams said. "We got off to a great start in the first quarter and went from there."
Winkates led North with nine points while Allie Reed pitched in six off the bench.
North will continue play at York today at 4:30pm against Conant.

This is a geometry problem, but I had to use Algebra too. The book states the problem this way:
In right triangle JKL, angle JKL is the right angle, and KH is perpendicular to JL. If KH = 12, and HL = 40, we are told to find JK, and to assume that JK is the shorter leg of right triangle JKL.
I drew a right triangle and labeled the top vertex L, the one on the right angle K, and the other one J. I drew a line from K to the middle of line JL, and labeled the end H.
The book gives the answer as 4 times the square root of 10, but I don't get that answer when I work it out. I used the Pythagorean theorem for both triangles. I made 2 formulas: x squared + x squared = 1,600. 144 + x squared = x squared. I got x squared = 872.
What am I doing wrong?

The field of radiology continues to make gains in knowledge and technology. Newer methods are being tested to find better treatments for cancer and other conditions treated with radiation.
Some newer radiation therapies are:
Radiation may improve the effects of chemotherapy. In turn, chemotherapy may improve the effects of radiation. Protocols are being develops to find the most effective use of chemotherapy and radiation.
This method uses external beam radiation therapy or other types of radiation during surgery to treat certain cancers. The benefit of this method is that less tissue is exposed to radiation. The target area can be directly viewed, and a more effective dose of radiation may be used. The use of intraoperative irradiation, along with surgery, external beam therapy, or chemotherapy, has been shown to improve the outcome of cancer treatment in some cases.
Stereotactic irradiation is the use of a single high dose of radiation. Radiation is sent into the diseased tissue with very narrow beams of radiation. The two main forms of stereotactic irradiation are linear acceleration and the gamma knife. This method cut the length of hospital stays and the costs for certain brain cancers and conditions.
Particle radiation therapy uses higher-energy radiation particles in cancer therapy. Types of radiation particles used in radiation therapy include neutrons, protons, ions, and antiprotons.Proton therapy is the most widely used type of particle therapy. Fast neutron therapy may be used in the treatment of certain inoperable or recurrent tumors. There are only a few centers in the U.S. that offer this treatment.Antiproton therapy is the newest type of particle radiation therapy under study. It has promise for use in radiosurgery techniques.Internal hadron therapy is another type of particle radiation therapy. One example of this type of therapy is boron neutron-capture therapy. A boron compound is given to the person by injection. The boron builds up in the tumor or cancerous tissue. A reaction occurs in the tumor when a beam of neutrons is sent into the tumor, destroying the cancerous cells. The advantage of this method is that it can be used to treat wide-spread cancer.
Before the development of computed tomography (CT), exact targeting of a lesion or tumor for radiation therapy was difficult. CT provided a 2-dimensional means of viewing the treatment area. However, a 3D view is needed to define all borders of the lesion or tumor for the most precise treatment planning.
Similar to 3D conformal radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT, uses varying intensity within single radiation beams to minimize the amount of radiation to normal tissues around the area being treated.
Radioimmunotherapy uses antibodies "tagged" with a cancer-killing substance. These tagged antibodies recognize tumor cells and bind with them, thus bringing the cancer-killing drug directly to the tumor tissue. The tagged antibodies may be given directly into an artery, under the skin, or directly into a body cavity such as the uterus.One advantage of this method is that it may be used to treat cancer that has spread that is not visible by diagnostic means. This helps eliminate the spread of the disease.
Cyberknife is a non-invasive way to treat both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors, as well as other health problems. It sends targeted, high-dose radiation to tumors, reducing exposure to the nearby healthy tissue. The components include a robotic arm and a tracking system that is used to reach tumors or problems in difficult regions and from any direction.

I am playing with the idea of using an old PC as a media server. The main thing I'm concerned about is power consumption, its an old Pentium D processor. I realize it will be running 24/7 but using up electricity while its not being used seems a little waste of money. I was just wondering if anyone can recommend a distro/package which is particularly good at power management?
Any advise would be much appreciated.

TOKYO (Reuters) - The yen is overvalued from a trade perspective and the reversal of the currency's strength is essential for the Bank of Japan to achieve its 2-percent inflation target, former deputy central bank governor Kazumasa Iwata was quoted as saying by a Japanese ruling party official.
The comments weigh into a growing global debate on whether it is acceptable for Japan to pursue aggressive monetary easing if it effectively drives down the yen, fanning talk of a looming currency war if other countries follow suit to help their exporters stay competitive.
Iwata, considered one of the leading candidates to replace BOJ Governor Masaaki Shirakawa when he leaves his post in March, said the dollar at 95 yen was appropriate from a trade perspective, according to the Liberal Democratic Party source.
The dollar traded around 93.50 yen on Thursday after hitting a 33-month high around 94.47 yen on Monday.
Shirakawa, who travels to Moscow this weekend for his last Group of 20 finance leaders' meeting, is expected to reinforce Tokyo's argument that its monetary expansion policies are aimed at pulling the country out of deflation, not at nudging down the yen.
Japan has said the Group of Seven rich nations accepted Tokyo's view when it declared in a statement on Tuesday that fiscal and monetary policies would not be directed at devaluing currencies.
Iwata now heads a private economic research think-tank and is not involved in policymaking, but his comments may rekindle a concerns that Japan could be targeting specific yen levels that it deemed appropriate for its struggling exporters.
The BOJ doubled its inflation target to 2 percent in January and made an open-ended commitment to buy assets from next year. That was its fourth monetary expansion in five months, taken largely in response to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's relentless calls for bolder action to beat deflation.
Expectations of more aggressive money printing in months ahead have driven the yen down nearly 20 percent against the dollar since November.
Data earlier on Thursday showed Japan's economy unexpectedly contracted for the third consecutive quarter in October-December, showing the country is struggling to escape from a mild recession and adding weight to the new government's push for more radical policy steps to revive growth.

CINCINNATI, OH - Junior Bethany Ahrens' basket with 10.5 seconds remaining lifted the Wilmington College women's basketball team the 50-48 comeback victory Wednesday over the College of Mount St. Joseph at the Harrington Center in non-conference action.
The victory enabled Wilmington to snap its 11-game road losing streak. The Lady Quakers' last road victory was a 67-54 win over Heidelberg on December 3, 2011.
"We just do not have the type of team to pick and choose when we are gonna play hard," said Wilmington head coach Jerry Scheve. "We didn't have any energy in the first half. We started pressing and it picked up our effort. When we play with that level of energy, it shows the type of team we can be."
Moments after the Lions scored on an offensive rebound and putback to tie the game at 48, Wilmington raced back up the court to get in position for the victory. Senior Bria Estlick (Cleveland Heights, OH/Lutheran East) found Ahrens (Versailles, OH/Versailles) posting hard on the box and Ahrens converted the layup.
Ahrens' bucket enabled the Lady Quakers to comeback from its 10-point halftime deficit and a six-point hole with 2:24 remaining in the contest. She finished with a season-high seven points one game after not playing.
"I thought Bethany Ahrens was the key to this game," said Scheve.
Scheve added that he was impressed with how the team shrugged off their struggles to make key plays down the stretch and record the victory.
Immediately following two MSJ free throws to give the Lions the late six-point bulge, WC got back-to-back buckets from junior Haley Howard (Uhrichsville, OH/New Philadelphia) and senior LeAnn Topp (New Bremen, OH/New Bremen) to cut the deficit to two.
As Wilmington found its offensive stride after going nearly 10 minutes without a bucket, the Lady Quakers defense was locking down on Mount St. Joseph.
Wilmington caught a break with 52 seconds remaining following a missed free throw, MSJ turned it over under the WC hoop. Sophomore Spencer Robles (Clyde, OH/Clyde), the team's leading scorer, made the Lions pay for their mistake - hitting her only basket of the day - a three-pointer from the corner to give the Lady Quakers a two-point lead with 50 seconds remaining.
The biggest difference in the two halves was Wilmington's work on the boards. They were outrebounded by five in the first half when they took the 10-point deficit into the break. The Lady Quakers pounded the home team, 29-13, in the second half as they outscored MSJ by 12 in the pivotal second stanza.
Along with their work on the glass, WC turned up the full-court pressure coming out of the locker rooms. Wilmington opened the final 20 minutes on a 19-4 run to claim a five-point lead. However, the Lady Quakers sustained the aforementioned scoring drought that kept the winless Lions in the game.
Defensively, Wilmington limited its hosts to 29.5 percent shooting and kept the Lions' leading scorer, Madie Long, off the board completely. It marked the second straight game WC took the opposing teams best scorer from making an impact.
Howard, who didn't allow her defensive charge of holding down Long to affect her offense, led Wilmington with career-high 12 points and a team-high four assists. Peters added eight points, while Topp recorded a team-high six boards.
Wilmington (4-2) will step into Ohio Athletic Conference action 7:30 p.m. December 5, hosting Muskingum.

Kosher Chuppah
I will be getting married in a few months and we want to make sure that the ceremony is "religiously correct." What do we need to know?
The Aish Rabbi Replies:
In Jewish law, a marriage becomes official when the groom (chatan) gives an object of value to the bride (kallah). This is traditionally done with a ring. The ring should be made of plain gold, without blemishes or ornamentation (e.g. stones) - just as it is hoped that the marriage will be one of simple beauty.
The groom takes the wedding ring in his hand, and in clear view of two witnesses, declares to the bride, "Behold, you are betrothed unto me with this ring, according to the law of Moses and Israel." He then places the ring on the forefinger of the bride's right hand.
According to Jewish law, this is the central moment of the wedding ceremony, and at this point the couple is fully married.
This is more central to the wedding than the photographer, the bridesmaid's dresses, the flowers, and even the smorgasbord.
If the bride also wants to give a ring to the chatan, this should be only done afterwards, not under the chuppah. This is to prevent confusion as to what constitutes the actual marriage, as prescribed by the Torah.
The Talmud says that for a wedding to be valid, there must be two "kosher" witnesses - i.e. men over the age of 13 who are Shabbat observant, and are related neither to the bride or groom, nor to each other. (Note that this is a requirement for all parts of the ceremony which require witnesses – such as the signing of the ketubah.)
For more, see our "Guide to the Jewish Wedding."

What brand of oil do you use?
Posted 11 June 2005 - 05:04 PM
Does the factory recommend Castrol motor oil? Is there a quantifiable difference between motor oils? What oil do you use?
Posted 11 June 2005 - 05:34 PM
I also run SuperTech oil filters, using the rationale "At least it's not a Fram."
There really isn't any indication on the packaging that $2/qt oil is better than $1/qt oil. I presume the difference is mostly marketing and markup.
My owners manual from 1996 says the factory specifies API service grade SG motor oil, and they recommend 5W30. So I guess, if you really wanted to, you could say SuperTech 5W30 is factory recommended oil.

SuperTech all the way. That's Wal-Mart's house brand.
I've been in a Wal-Mart once.
Posted 11 June 2005 - 06:13 PM
and a case of NAPA 10w-30 does the trick for my subaru.
And i tend to only change it every 5000 miles :-\
Posted 11 June 2005 - 06:25 PM
I change at the start of every quarter (Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct) not paying attention to the mileage.
Posted 11 June 2005 - 07:36 PM
PS i have never had a problem with my or any other engines using these products. hope that helps.
PPS i also servise only by the book but once i get a diesle or turbo it will be twice as often as the book sais

Posted 11 June 2005 - 09:31 PM
I just change it every 5000 miles or so, and use a genuine Subaru oil filter. I've never had any engine problems.
Just my 2 bucks
Posted 11 June 2005 - 10:17 PM
Posted 11 June 2005 - 11:03 PM
But the oil filter needs replacement (its about 10k overdue, not my fault I'm a busy person and my car is busier than I am, when I do get the time it's being borrowed by someone willing to fill the tank)

I've been using Castrol 10W-30 for close to 35 years (first VW products, then BMW, and now Subaru) and OEM filters at 2500 mile change interval. My cars usually last 250K miles or more. Nice to see that Suburb Service agrees with me; not that I'd go there for service.
In reading the Suburb Service website (an independent Subaru garage near Seattle)

I like Mobil 1, and have had good results with it for a long time, in many cars.
Castrol products are good too. I use their brake fluid and trans oil for the rear diff.
Shell in the manual gearbox, and Shell in the coolant. Mobil in the steering pump.

Or, you could go check out bobistheoilgod.com, or whatever it is, and see what he recommends.
Posted 12 June 2005 - 02:11 AM
Posted 12 June 2005 - 02:19 AM
I use Chevron 5-30 and Purolator filters. I will buy whatever brand oil is on sale but its usually the Chevron. Below is an article on oil filters and why I don't use Fram filters.
Heh, that's what I was going to post.
I've always used pennzoil 10-30, and 10-40 sometimes when I'll be driving through the desert during the summer. I was at pepboys yesterday and they were out, so I decided to try some Mobil 1 semi-synthetic. I guess I'll see how that goes. I use Proline ProOne filters.
Posted 12 June 2005 - 10:20 AM
SL/SM oil is SL/SM oil. They're all the same within about 1%.
Paying more simply fattens the wallets of CEO's and pays for magazine and TV ads.
Posted 12 June 2005 - 10:59 AM
Previously, I used Castrol GTX 10w-30, or 20w-50 exclusively (and liked it), but the Mobil 1 really made the engine in my 96 quiet down, so I am going to stick with it. I still run pure Castrol GTX dino oil in the RX-7, but that is a different story.
Posted 12 June 2005 - 11:08 AM
And I use Fram filters. I know that they have a bad rap. But I've cut several open after changing them, and they all look fine to me. Is there any evidence that Fram filters cause engine failures?
In over 40-years of maintaining my own cars, I've never had an oil-related engine problem.
Posted 12 June 2005 - 03:12 PM
Posted 12 June 2005 - 04:25 PM
When we began to buy Subaru products, I naturally began using the same products/schedule.
One reason I use synthetic is that we have cold winters and I want the low pour point of the sythetic oil. It's not uncommon for overnight temps to drop below -30C.
As to filters, I always go OE. Not sure about Subaru, but MB OE filters are very high quality. Many MB owners cheap out and buy a Fram filter only to watch their oil pressure drop from 3.0bar to less than 2.0bar. Fram filters are junk and I would never install one.
Posted 12 June 2005 - 04:29 PM
I try to stick to genuine subaru filters, I try to avoid Fram at all cost as I belive they are little more than cardboard inside.
I also heard its bad to keep changing your oil brand as the engine can become accustomed to a certain type of oil. So going castrol, cheap stuff, chevron.... may protect a bit less
Posted 12 June 2005 - 06:13 PM
SuperTech all the way. That's Wal-Mart's house brand. It's made by Sopus (Quaker State / Pennzoil), and it's API certified for use in non-historic cars (just like all motor oil sold anywhere but Dollar General).
I also run SuperTech oil filters, using the rationale "At least it's not a Fram."
There really isn't any indication on the packaging that $2/qt oil is better than $1/qt oil. I presume the difference is mostly marketing and markup.
My owners manual from 1996 says the factory specifies API service grade SG motor oil, and they recommend 5W30. So I guess, if you really wanted to, you could say SuperTech 5W30 is factory recommended oil.
Whats wrong with Fram??
Posted 12 June 2005 - 07:53 PM
1993 Impreza FWD - 180k miles and still going
as strong as ever!
Posted 12 June 2005 - 09:04 PM
Well, I did the math, and here's what I came up with.
see 2 bucks ea for mobile 1''s ,1.48 qt castrol gtx 20w50 = 5.92 + 2 = 7.92 a oil change , every 3,000mi , there is a difference in oil and filters , if i can not afford 1.92 difference , then it's time to start walking or back to horse and buggy
Five quarts of oil, one filter.
SuperTech oil change: $.79*5 + $2 = $6 oil change.
Valvoline/Fram: $2*5 + $3 = $13
Mobil1/Bosch: $4.5*5 + $5 = $27.50
Run the car for 201,000 miles, changing the oil every 3000 miles, you change the oil 67 times. Which would cost you $402, $871, or $1842.50, depending on your choice of oil. So you could be lining the pockets of predatory corporations with quite a bit of money. And I think the amount of money you could save is significant.
Posted 13 June 2005 - 12:56 AM
Anyone know of a high quality filter?!
Purolator makes the OE Subaru oil filters.

"Just got off the phone with Google over their Android app store (Market or Google Play to those keeping track of the name changes) about an application that I purchased that can no longer be found. Evidentially their new policy in the Market can be summed up as a head shrug and the words 'I got mine'. They have decided their fifteen minute refund window is not only absolute, but also applies even in cases where the developers are actively screwing over their customers." Yes, it's an angry rant, and yes, if that bother you, you can skip it, but the guy or girl has a point. Google has some major work to do on the Play Store.

Are what you wanted and what you got necessarily the same thing? Maybe. We envision the ideal and get real life instead. Sometimes it's a matter of ignorance and sometimes it's really a matter of time. Projects tend to dominate all else when they are young. The longer you spend with them the more your enthusiasm wanes, and the more likely that the hot trends will bend corners and you'll be left with a cliche instead of a car. Things that were leading edge the first time you opened your mouth are now common currency, totally mainstream. You begin seeing adverts for stuff that was flat unobtainium when you began your project.
Maybe it would be best to skirt the issue altogether. Buy a well-preserved driver, bag it, put some pretty legs on it, and go to town without ever looking back. Bob Saltarelli did that. Bought and drove.
"I found the car at the Pomona swap meet. For $6,000. It was driver quality. I drove it to work for 2 years." Then that eternal bugaboo, paint jail and its legacy of anguish and impatience, lifted its scuzzy head.
"Because of painter problems with a body-off restoration on a '55 Bel Air," winced Bob, "I decided to do just a paint job and maybe some 17-inch wheels on the Chevelle, you know, to have a car to drive in the summer. One thing led to another and the Chevelle is what it is today." Yeah, Bob, something that goes and handles and stops and rides a ton better than the original. Something that's blissful to the eye. Something that's at once contemporary and vintage. Look around. Retro. A trend that even conservative Detroit has glommed onto.
It didn't take Bob very long to put a face on his current passion or to go from tooling just a driver to something a lot more subjective. He was burning the tires off it in less than a year. He'd concentrated on three mandates: stance, color, and the tire and rim combination, all integrated quite successfully, we think. Last March, he took the 'Velle to the first annual Goodguys get-together at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, California. He won the award for Best Homebuilt Car award.
Saltarelli is a 51-year old longshoreman, so he would have had an operator's license at the very end of the old Muscle Car Trauma, not in time to buy anything off the showroom floor, but certainly at a distinct advantage when it came to cheap and plentiful pre-owned iron that the insurance companies wouldn't touch with your 10-foot pole.
Now, a lifetime later, Bob could do what he wanted with whatever he wanted. We could call it Pro Touring but it isn't Pro anything. It's simply Bob's vision with just the right amount of mechanical enhancement and eye-candy upgrades.
Musclecars are good-looking land sharks packed with wildly undisciplined talent. They have too much torque and not enough social skills to put it to use effectively. It was as if the only thing that mattered was that it went like hell in straight line, albeit with wheelhop. Braking and handling? These aren't sports cars, Sammy. They were built to bellow, burn rubber, and beat down a dragstrip in a time before "socially acceptable" illegally entered the lexicon. Tetraethyl lead was the key and it was pennies a gallon. The luster of America's best years was rapidly going dim. We had the power then, that was for damn sure, but don't forget that the dinosaurs evolved into birds.
Bob kept chipping. Got himself a '73 454 cylinder case, had Contemporary Auto Machine poke it 60-over and do the blueprinting, balancing, and align boring required. Since our hero was only looking to scare up some asphalt and not annihilate the rest of the world, he kept the compression ratio for those Speed-Pro pistons at a safe-and-sane 10:1. The Comp hydraulic roller comes in easy with 230 duration at 0.050-inch and 0.520-inch lift on both valves. A Milodon steel 8-quart oil pan and an Edelbrock front cover seal off the lower end.
Bob centered on some oval-port iron heads and complemented them with an Edelbrock RPM Performer intake manifold and a Mighty Demon 750-cfm carburetor. That distributor lurking in the shadows is an MSD HEI unit sprouting Accel 8.8mm wires. Unburned hydrocarbons and other effluvia move quickly through the ceramic-coated Doug's 2-inch primaries and into a 2 -inch diameter exhaust fitted with a crossover pipe and raucous Flowmaster 40s. On the driving end, Bob bolted a Turbo 400 (prepped by Kevin) to the 468-incher, preceding it with a TCI 2,800-rpm stall speed converter. The throttle body retains normal shift pattern.
He scrubbed the engine compartment and scraped off all the superfluous stuff, finished the wheelhouses in gloss black, contrasted the firewall in matte gray, and put smaller, more compact systems in place of large and inefficient ones. All of it pops the nicely detailed engine right up front. Bob looked to the chassis with more than beauty in mind. Since he was building a 500hp engine, he wanted the car to absorb large jolts of power and torque in stride, not shrink like it was grabbed from behind in some damn sleeper hold.
Forget Pro Touring. All Bob wanted to do here was add some active handling measures should he have to avoid the ass end of an SUV, not hanging the rear end of the Chevelle out on the Ortega Highway. Powerful, linear stopping characteristics are part of that machine. Bob built the reformed suspension around better steering geometry inherent in B-body spindles and decorated them with Hotchkis tubular upper and lower control arms, 1-3/8-inch hollow anti-sway bar, 2-inch drop coil springs, and KYB shock absorbers. In the rear of the car, he posted a J.S. Gear-assembled 12-bolt axle fitted with 3.42:1 gears and a Posi-traction differential, Hotchkis 2-inch drop coils, adjustable upper links and lower controls arms with polyurethane bushings. To match the front bar, Bob included a Hotchkis solid 1-inch diameter piece.
Though often overlooked by those who can't seem to get the 15-inch rim syndrome, the original brakes, no matter how many times they are rebuilt, remain less than what the car really needs to burn off big energy in a hurry. To that end, Bob pedals Baer brakes with a 13-inch rotor at every corner. Bigger than average brakes invite larger, more contemporary rolling stock, not something that looks straight out of the '70s. Highly polished Budnik 18x8 and 20x10 GTX rims receive BFG g-Force 245/40s and 295/40s. Everything looks like it's right where it belongs.
Bright-metal trim and bumpers were re-chromed by Superior Plating in Inglewood, CA, while Gem Tech down Huntington Beach way applied subtle shades of powdercoat. The Chevelle poses a clean, compact silhouette without any drastic sheetmetal rearrangement because of this: the PPG Sunset Orange, the relationship between the tops of the tires and the fender wells, and the polished wheel/design all have sympathy for one another and the combination works out like a real mother.
Since we suspect Bob is heavy on the cruise aspect, inhospitable appointments just aren't tolerated. Bob wants to feel like he's in a cruisin' car, not a racin' car, so it's all down-home comfort looking pretty much the way it always has. The vinyl is new but the color is the same. There are tunes...coming out of the Alpine-amped Pioneer speakers, front and rear, daddy-o. Bob kept the original dashboard and instrument panel, but added to the array with some choice Auto Meter ancillaries.
If he had it to do differently, Bob would have liked, you know, more power. Not too far down the road, he's wanting to add some more, you know, power, in the form of a 502 or a 572. After all, gotta give that Hotchkis stuff hell.

Financial Aid: Boon or Bane?
Latest Janus Forum examines impact of federal financial aid on higher ed costs
- 03-21-2012
- By Jeffrey R. Wakefield
Warm, sunny weather offered some competition for Tuesday's Janus Forum debate -- "Does Federal Support for Higher Education Make College More or Less Affordable?" – but the serious-minded mix of faculty, staff, students and community members who chose to spend the afternoon indoors in the Davis Center's Silver Maple Ballroom were rewarded with a spirited and enlightening exchange of ideas.
In considering the relationship between aid and costs, the debaters found little to agree on.
According to aid opponent Richard Vedder, distinguished professor of economics at Ohio University, the explosion in federal aid that began in the 1970s has not only not increased access for low income students, it's led to rising prices for all, as colleges routinely hiked tuition in response to growing federal largesse.
Not true, said proponent Robert Archibald, chancellor professor of economics at the College of William and Mary, who went second and had the luxury of challenging Vedder's positions throughout the debate. His research shows aid resulted in greater access for low-income students and lower real costs for all. Without it, colleges would be forced to discount steeply for low-income students and compensate with higher tuition for everyone else.
Higher ed costs are also rising, Vedder maintained, because colleges spend lavishly on new buildings, unnecessary staff (Vedder envisioned a day when faculty members would each have their own personal staff support) and other non-academic matters.
Not so, said Archibald. Higher ed costs have increased at much the same rate as other services provided by highly educated professionals – doctors and lawyers, for instance. Archibald said staff additions have been largely necessary and justifiable, in technology support and fundraising, for instance.
Both speakers noted that the topic was one of particular interest to the audience.
"I have an impossible job," Vedder said in his opening: "arguing against the merits of financial aid to an audience of supplicants in 80 degree temperatures,"
"I did draw the long straw," Archibald acknowledged.

The company opened its federally recognized Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) on Sept. 30 in Jersey City and followed with its opening for Bayonne residents.
"This widely accepted program throughout the United States enhances the quality of life for seniors by managing all of their healthcare needs enabling them to continue to live safely in their community," said Annemarie Rahi of Bayonne, director of community outreach.
"PACE is an all-inclusive health care program providing many of the services in the homes of participants," she said. "Home healthcare, Visiting Nurse services, meals, physical therapy. Also, we have a large provider network for physician specialists in Bayonne and the county at large."
Rahi said that while the company doesn't have a physical structure in Bayonne, residents can easily get to the comprehensive one the company has in nearby Jersey City.
The program's 14,000-square-foot facility, located on Jersey Avenue, adjacent to the Jersey City Medical Center, provides participants with central access to a team of physicians, nurses, social workers, therapists, and support staff to help keep them healthy, active, and as independent as possible, living in their own homes.
Transportation to the Lutheran Senior Life Center is provided, giving participants quick and easy access to comprehensive on-site healthcare services, a nutritious hot breakfast, lunch, snacks, and a variety of social activities.
The Lutheran Senior Life Center offers primary and specialty medical care; access to medications, supplies, and medical equipment; after-hours care by a physician; adult day services; in-home support services; transportation to and from the facility; therapy; dietary counseling; and support services. Lutheran Senior Life offers an interdisciplinary team approach to managing the medical, social, and personal needs of seniors enrolled in the program.
"Participants in the program receive home healthcare services and adult day services based on their individualized care plan determined by the interdisciplinary team," says Peg Bucci, vice president of Housing and Community Services at Lutheran Social Ministries of New Jersey. "The Lutheran Senior Life program has all of the components needed to keep seniors in their own home, while properly addressing their healthcare needs. It also provides peace of mind to families who need help caring for their elderly relative."
Shirley Hardhouse of Bayonne is in the program.
"It's convenient, it's nice, and the food is good," she said. "The service is good. The doctors are good."
Hardhouse, who turns 67 on May 1, has a number of medical conditions, including problems with her heart, eyesight, and walking.
"I go there twice a week, to the Jersey City Center," Hardhouse said. "In the center, they give you breakfast and lunch. They have activities if you want to participate. They have an exercise room and physical therapy for the people that need physical therapy."
Hardhouse said there are doctors of all disciplines at the center, including those for conditions related to heart, stomach, and lungs. They also have onsite dentists and eye doctors.
"But they have doctors outside the facility also that you could go to," she said. "For any type of medical problem. It's always within Hudson County and it's always in network."
"They take care of medical needs, my prescriptions, and my personal needs," Hardhouse said. "Cane or walker; they provide that for you. They provided a shower chair for me. They provide me with my medications and other personal needs. I'm happy with that facility because of the attention that you get. I wouldn't be able to find another program like them."
Rahi said that the company's entry into the Bayonne market came at an opportune time, because the one other alternative—Global Options—will end soon.
"But this program is being discontinued June 30," she said.
Rahi said that residents requiring longterm care may have to enroll in a managed longterm care program (MCO) when that ends. But seniors already in Global Options can seamlessly switch to the PACE program to avoid being automatically enrolled in an MCO.
"With MCOs, services are fragmented," Rahi said. "There is no integration and coordination of care. That is what truly differentiates the PACE healthcare program delivery model from other models of care."
To enroll in the Lutheran Senior Life program, seniors must be 55 years or older, able to live safely at home at the time of enrollment, and be residents of Bayonne, Jersey City, Hoboken, North Bergen, Union City, Weehawken, Guttenberg, or Secaucus.
A person must also be certified to need New Jersey nursing-home level of care and want to stay at home.
Lutheran Senior Life is a program of Lutheran Social Ministries of New Jersey, a faith-based, not-for-profit social service organization and provider of compassionate, quality senior care services, as well as community programs, such as adoption, immigration and refugee resettlement, community residences for developmentally disabled women, and affordable housing for seniors and families.
"Lutheran Senior Life does not discriminate in the delivery of services based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, mental, or physical disabilities or source of payment," Rahi said.
For more information about Lutheran Senior Life, or to determine if you or your loved one qualifies for the program, call (877) 543-3188. You can also visit lutheranseniorlifenj.org.

Kony 2012 Critics make Jason Russell Crack
- Posts
Whether through social networking or lunch chatter you've heard of Joseph Kony leader of the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army). You might have even heard about how he abducts children for the LRA and arms them to fight against their own people. People have just seem to not care. We'll that all stopped with Jason Russel.
Jason had one dream, to stop Joseph Kony. He made giant leaps toward that. First, he started Invisible Children, A nonprofit organization made to help kids in Africa and bring awareness for Kony's evils. Second, he started a event commonly known as Cover the Night. On April 20th, 3 million people have pledged to do three things. Wear Kony gear all day, do 3 hours of community work, and 'Cover the Night' with posters to bring awareness for Kony's capture. Jason Russell had gotten all of this approved and was about to carry it out, but then came the critics.
We all hate them. All they do is sulk. Critics have been said some of the most 'glass-half empty' people in the world. And Jason Russell just couldn't take all of that heat . Kony 2012 critics said, "That Kony can't be stopped and all that good ol' Jason Russell is doing is a complete waste of time and space"(Viasble Children website). They have even gone to criticizing the company of Invisible Children. They told the media that, Invisible Children, has kept eighty percent of all their makings and is barely helping all of those starving Kony victims back in Africa. And, Jason just couldn't take it anymore.
After, all of the pressure, Jason Russell, sadly, went mentally insane. As CNN reports, Jason went naked out in the street and started mumbling right in public. The police took him into cusdody and the world is slowly waiting his recovery. What I'm saying in this post is recover quickly, Jason, and let us all support youby pledging to just do three things on April 20th for Cover the Night.

Dead Pigs Used To Investigate Ocean's "Dead Zones" 106
timothy writes "As places to study what happens to corpses, the Atlantic Ocean is both much larger and much more specialized than the famous 'body farm' in Knoxville, TN. But for all kinds of good reasons, sending human bodies into Davy Jones' locker just to see where they float and how they bloat is unpopular. Pigs don't pay taxes, and more importantly, they don't vote. So Canadian scientists have taken to using them as human-body proxies, to study what happens when creatures of similar size and hairlessness (aka, us) end up 86ed and in the drink."

I didn't know wild turkeys existed outside of a bottle.
"Love me or hate me, both are in my favour."
I'd go out and shout 'Thanksgiving' to them.
Check out my very own Body Hair Lovers and Photography Groups!
they walk by like the own the joint....my dog was going ape shit. He can't chase them (I wouldn't let him in any event) on account of his toe boo boo.....

We have about a hundred up in the back fields this year.
Snacking on the corn I guess.
Maybe they think you're a vegitarian?
A friend lives in the city--as do I. One morning she saw a tom with a harem of six hens strutting down the middle of the street looking from one side to the other, apparently looking for more property.
For the record, a grouping of turkeys is called a "rafter".
This concludes your random factoid for the day.
To FPNY: You're so lucky to live in a place where wildlife can take a leisurely stroll across your property. All I get are squirrels and the occasional raccoon.
God answers all prayers. Most of the time, though, the answer is 'No'.
Oh, shoula named this thread, "some turkeys walk down my driveway". Who knew? I always thought it was a gaggle of turkeys...huh....
You men are very very smart......

I have a bunch near me as well. I can't figure out how the coyote's don't get them.
( I have a coyote den at the edge of my property)
Isn't it wonderful to live in a location with so much wildlife. I especially enjoy the bald eagles and loons that nest on "my" lake. We're very lucky.
I'd love to have a gaggle of bald eagles to watch. I've never seen any near here. I've seen huge hawks, piliated wood peckers, a mink, red tail fox, a coyote drinking from our pond, but never any eagles.

BTO Sports KTM Race Report
Anaheim, CA – The BTO Sports – KTM team rolled in to Anaheim for the third and final time this season as Round 5 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series took over Angels Stadium Saturday for a wild night of racing.
After his impressive ride last week, team rider Matt Goerke came in to A3 high on confidence. He would ride strong in practice, attacking the technical Anaheim track to qualify in the 14th spot. In the heat race, Matt would use his Hinson Racing clutch to power out of the gate strong. He would charge hard, finishing 9th to gain a spot in the main. As the gate dropped for the main event, Matt was all business. He would position himself inside the top ten until mid race, when an aggressive move by Ryan Villopoto punched a hole in Matt's side case, ending his forward momentum. With Engine Ice keeping the engine cool, Matt would soldier on and finish 13th.
Les Smith had a tough night with the technical Anaheim track. After qualifying 25th, Les would come out in the heat race swinging, but would miss a transfer spot to the main by one spot. After a great start in the LCQ, Les would be caught up in a major pile-up in the second turn of the first lap that would end his chances of making the main. Look for Les to bounce back in San Diego next week and be back in the main event."Matt is riding well and I am happy with his ride tonight even with the unfortunate circumstances" said team owner Forrest Butler. "We will regroup and come back strong next week in San Diego."

A Dover man, identified as Christopher Porter, 32, and a man from Magnolia, identified as Martin Daniels, 33, have been arrested by Delaware State Police troopers on theft charges.
The pair were taken into custody at about 8 a.m. Aug. 14, said division spokesman Master Cpl. Jeffrey Hale.
The case began at a house in the first block of Church Creek Drive when a resident called 911 after spotting a suspicious pickup truck in the driveway of a neighboring house, Hale said. The witness saw two men take an air conditioning unit, put it in the truck and drive away.
A second neighbor followed the truck and guided troopers to a location on Cherry Drive, where Porter and Daniels were arrested without incident.
The troopers discovered the air conditioner was not in the truck, but found it later in a wooded area off Plain Dealing Road.
An investigation into Porter and Daniels' activities allowed troopers to an Aug. 8 air conditioner theft on Pardoners Tail Lane, Felton, and another the following day on Turkey Point Road, Felton.
Investigators believe Porter and Daniels may have been involved in additional thefts in the area, Hale said.
The two were charged with three counts each of theft of property valued at more than $1,500, second-degree criminal trespass, and second-degree conspiracy. They later were released on $8,250 unsecured bonds each.
Anyone with information regarding this incident or who has had an air conditioning unit stolen from their home, are asked to contact Det. S. Doherty at (302) 741-2817.
Tips also may be left by using the DSP Mobile Crime Tip app, available for download at www.Delaware.gov/apps.
Information also may be provided by calling Delaware Crime Stoppers at (800) TIP-3333, via the Internet at www.tipsubmit.com, or by sending a text to 274637 (CRIMES), starting the message with the keyword "DSP."

Medical tourism providers are pushing for a more integrated strategy to lure potential customers from China as the effect of a policy that allows independent Chinese travelers to visit the country has so far been limited.
Sammy Yen, general manager of Lion Travel's medical tourism unit, said the travel industry has been trying to develop more comprehensive medical tourism packages through closer cooperation to win over high-end customers because a business model based on quantity is not likely to work.
"We used to have high hopes for the free independent traveler [FIT] program," he said. "But we have overestimated its benefits."
Yen was referring to a policy that began in June last year, when Taiwan opened its doors to tourists from certain Chinese cities to visit Taiwan without having to join a tour group or be accompanied by a tour guide.
While some healthcare institutions that provide comprehensive physical checkups had expected the FIT program to bring them at least 3,000 Chinese visitors seeking medical services last year, Yen said the actual number was about 1,500.
According to statistics from the National Immigration Agency, 30,281 Chinese visitors came through the program from June to December last year, far short of the industry's expectations, since the quota was set to allow up to 500 visitors per day. As a result, Yen and fellow medical tourism providers said they would have to launch more upscale services to establish the brand and publicize what they have on offer.
Meanwhile, Yen said the industry has also been working much more closely with government agencies, discussing ways to improve Taiwan's competitiveness in the field.
"We don't want to see the Council of Agriculture promoting their organic food here and the Tourism Bureau celebrating a hot spring festival there," Yen said. "We want the government to send an integrated message that Taiwan is one of the best travel destinations to heal your body and soul."

(RNN) – It's inconceivable The Princess Bride was released 25 years ago.
And yes, that word means what I think it means.
Although not many have built up a tolerance to iocane powder, almost everyone can quote some lines from the movie:
"As you wish." "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya; you killed my father, prepare to die." "You are the Brute Squad."
It's a kissing movie with humor, sword fights, a fire swamp, rodents of unusual size, giants who rhyme, six-fingered villains and excellent one-liners. Some of which probably annoy clergy during wedding rehearsals, because "mawwiage is what bwings us together…"
"I'm lucky to have made a movie that still resonates," said Cary Elwes, who played Westley the farm boy turned Dread Pirate Roberts, on CNN's Starting Point. "I still get fan mail from all over the world."
To celebrate the anniversary and to raise money for charity, cast members and director Rob Reiner are asking fans to donate to Mercy Corps - instead of a Battle of Wits to the Death.
Elwes and Princess Buttercup herself, Robin Wright, appear in a video with Reiner titled Shameless Promotion of The Princess Bride 25th Anniversary, But Also a Way to Help Mercy Corps Which Makes Us Feel a Little Less Like Shills.
The charity, Mercy Corps, helps people in areas affected by conflict or natural disasters rebuild their economies.
"Mercy Corps is the ideal organization to support in conjunction with the anniversary, because like the characters in the movie, Mercy Corps prevails against all odds to make a difference in the world," Elwes said in the video.
Those who donate can receive an "authentic" Rob Reiner Beard hair, a Mostly Dead Death Certificate signed by Miracle Max, movie posters with alternative movie titles, such as Hot Fire Swamp Rodents, a jar containing the whisper "As you wish" from the "sweet, sweet lips" of Elwes, or a script signed by Reiner, Elwes and Wright.
The first 100 people to donate at each giving level will receive a series of deleted story board scenes.
To donate, visit www.mercycorps.com/princessbride, and to test your knowledge of the movie, visit princessbrideforever.com.
Have fun storming the castle.

A move to a larger location has rejuvenated Algonquin Founders' Days, organizers say.
In its 53rd year, the festival will take place July 25-28 at Algonquin Lakes Park, behind Algonquin Lakes School at 1401 Compton Drive. Bypass construction forced the closure of Towne Park, the festival's previous location.
More room means more carnival rides, event Treasurer Jerry McEvilly said.
"It's considerably bigger," he said. "There'll be more rides that appeal to the teenagers. We were always constricted by space before. We're kind of excited about it."
Along with the annual carnival and event-ending fireworks, the festival features some of the area's top bands, such as Pirates Over 40, Mike & Joe, Modern Day Romeos, 7th Heaven, Smokin Gunz and The Lounge Puppets.
With Smokin Gunz, the festival is bringing in its first country act in at least three years, McEvilly said. Mike & Joe and Modern Day Romeos are returning this year because of how popular they were last year, he said.
And on Sunday, teen bands will battle it out to advance to a Springfield competition during the festival's Illinois Battle of the Bands.
In its fourth year, the event includes seven bands this year and gives young, local acts the chance to take the stage, event President Kent Miller said.
"For them to come to Founders' Days and play on a 24-by-40-foot stage with a professional mixing system, that's the biggest thing they've ever been involved in," Miller said. "Just to watch their faces and how they react to that is really cool."
The winners of local park district battles will compete for a regional spot during the Algonquin competition.
Hosted by the Illinois Park & Recreation Association, the round of competitions end with state finals in August at the Illinois State Fair. About 120 teen bands from throughout the state eventually will compete for prizes, such as studio time and band makeovers.
"It's really a wide variety," Miller said of Algonquin's Battle of the Bands. "We've got pretty much everything from death metal to party band music."
The event was one of the festival's best additions and has helped round out Sunday's family-oriented events, he said.
"It really has turned into an awesome event, with all of the families coming out," he said.
Among the festival's numerous other events are the Taste of Founders', a social garden, a Dog & Cat Show, children's games and activities, a petting zoo, a Bake Off, Founders' runs, a pig roast, a "Wild Wild West" parade Cardboard Boat Regatta and a new Stand-up Paddleboard Challenge.
Sponsored by Alpine Accessories, the Paddleboard Challenge requires participants to have some experience.
"It's really a lot of fun, a growing thing," McEvilly said of the new event. "Even if you don't want to participate, it should be fun to come down and watch."
Last year's festival drew at least 5,000 people throughout the weekend, he said, drawing people of all ages.
"We try to appeal a little bit to everybody," he said.

Despite widespread inferences to the contrary, obtaining root access to the Droid is, indeed, possible. Just this week, Cyanogen, a famous Android modder, confirmed the speculation on Twitter, saying that, yes, the Droid does ROOT.
Zinx Verituse, the clever hacker who mined the exploit, isn't hoarding the details and links necessary to prevent other modders from doing the same. You can follow the guide yourself by clicking here.
In a nutshell, gaining root access bestows the opportunities one might expect - for example, the ability to customize the device with multitouch features lke the pinch-to-zoom functionality conspicuously absent in the Android 2.0. Additionally, a successful hack also means you can gain access to widgets and skins that would ordinarily be "off-limits" to the Droid.
According to coverage from eWeek:
Root access means users gain full rights to control the phone, taking the power away from the phone makerMotorolaand its carrier Verizon Wireless. Android is open source, so it is expected that geeks play with the code and find ways to jailbreak the devices running it to do whatever they want. Modders did this for the Apple iPhone, bringing a source of perverse pride to the hacker community because Apple modus operandi is closed and controlling.
The people at Wired put it this way:
"While today marks a great feat in the Android community, rooting a phone does involve risks. If you have no idea what you're doing or what unlocking is, you might run the risk of bricking your phone (making it useless) or disabling essential features. Needless to say, unlocking will probably void your warranty and might put you in violation of the carrier's terms of service agreement."

1906 L'Agenda
The new Cottage for women at Bucknell University, on which work has already begun, will be ready by the opening of the fall term, September 25, 1905. It will be one hundred and twenty eight feet long, forty feet wide, and will rise three stories above the basement. The building will be built of pressed brick with brownstone trimmings and will contain eighty-seven rooms.
Cornerstone Laid March 31, 1905.
L'Agenda 1906
When Bucknell University was founded, it was explicitly stated by those self-sacrificing builders, that should the school ever become co-educational, by no means would the young ladies of the institution be permitted to dance. Accordingly when the bars to the co-eds were taken down, it was done so with the strict understanding that there should be no dancing whatever, not to think of a public function. From year to year numerous pleadings were brought before the "Powers that Be," that the Semites might attend the Prom--but prayers, pleadings, tears, and sighs were of no avail.
This year, however, when the ever-glorious class gave their Prom, the stern and never-bending will was forced to "wave his hand" in assent. True, this decision was arrived at after years of trying deliberation; many tears had been shed, and not infrequently have painful sighs been given vent. But at last the old long-cherished tradition was set aside. This act met the approval of the rest of the faculty, who gave the following reasons for their decision:
I. All other colleges allow the privilege of dancing, and Bucknell is decidedly behind the times in thus restricting the ladies of the institution.
II. Society of a high and polished type is one of the most important factors in a complete education; and nowhere can better society be found than at the Annual Prom.
III. Bucknell is severly criticised for its useless conservatism and narrow-mindedness. Therefore these failings ought to be corrected.
This stand taken by the faculty was announced one morning in chapel. So great was the joy over the new privilege about to be granted that college was closed for three days for general merry-making.
Extensive preparations were now made for this great event and on the appointed evening we girls started for the Prom, chaperoned by our preceptress Miss Bush.
1906 L'Agenda
Miss Schillinger on a tabouret with Semites gathered around her:
Now, girls, we are about to start for the basketball game and as the most of you have attended anything of the kind before, I feel that I must give you a few points before we go. First. Follow the leader, Miss B., always and ever do just as she does.
Second. Proceed by the usual way to the gym.
Third. Go two by two, and see that space of exactly two feet is kept between each couple.
Fourth. Keep the line perfectly straight and do not break ranks.
Fifth. Upon entering the gym give your tickets to the man at the foot of the stairs instead of keeping them yourselves.
Sixth. When your escort meets you, at the head of the stairs, should you chance to have one, by all means do not talk to him or receive any courtesies from him. It is not in good form.
Seventh. Try to occupy a different bench from your escort if possible. If not, be sure to leave the conventional two feet between you when you are seated. If then you are unable to make the gentleman hear what you say, just shout at him or make deaf and dumb signs. By all means, do not get nearer to him than two feet. This is according to decorum.
Eighth. Be sure to hold your own coat, rubbers, umbrella, furs, gloves, muff and whatever else must be held, one your own lap, and do not burden the gentlemen with them.
Ninth. Be sure to look under the railing rather than over, while watching the game.
Tenth. Between halves address no questions to your escort, and answer all his questions by "yes" or "no." Limit your conversation to fifty words, as it is not polite to talk too much.
Eleventh. When the game is over, dismiss your company immediately without taking a step. If he is slow about going just push him under the railing or out the window or hit him with your umbrella. You know there is more than one stair-case in the gymnasium.
Twelfth. Put on your own coat and do not allow him to assist you. It looks much better to see a lady put on her own wraps while the gentleman keeps his seat with folded hands.
Thirteenth. All gather in the little alcove at the head of the stairs and wait while the others pass out.
Fourteenth. When everyone has passed down the stairs, let my little Semites form in line according to size.
Fifteenth. When the signal is given, start with the right foot and proceed down the stairs, remembering the space of two feet. Try to do this real well for you know all the college men stand at the foot of the stairs to see you march out. It brings back to their minds, sweet remembrances of the penitentiary.
Sixteenth. Proceed to the Sem. without breaking ranks, always remembering to follow the leader. Now girlies, we are ready to start. Try to remember these little rules of etiquette that I given you, and at the end of the game I will give a prize to the little girl who remembers them the best.

Excerpts from a Freshman Girl's Diary

"The Hallow'een Party, under the management of Miss Shillinger and the "Frill and Frown," was an especially delightful affair this year. All Saturday evening was devoted to the fun. Each girl appeared in costume at dinner, as Witches, Red Riding Hood, Milk-maids, and other dress representative of the "Witches Eve."
All went directly to the New 'Gym' after dinner where 'spooky' entertainment was offered, and mirth provoking games indulged in. Goblins and Oracles were consulted by the curious ones, while the 'Fates' handed out at the 'Witches Post Office' were received with resignation by those who saw no use of resisting the inevitable. Abundant refreshments were placed where all could help themselves and everyone was happy.
The prize for the most original costume was awarded to Rebeccah Gibbsons, '13, for the prettiest costume to Helen Clark; and for the prettiest booth to Florence Clum,'12."

Loudness As A Handicap
"The most difficult thing for the Freshman girl to overcome," put in the English Assistant, "is loudness. More than once have I seen young women who had every semblance of good breeding and good nature, who were pretty, and who naturally would have had the sympathy of their fellows and of the Faculty, lose something of both because they were thoughtlessly "loud" and rough. They had not learned to comprehend fully the rights of others and seemed negligent of the little niceties of life that make existence worth while." "Why should they do this-because of thoughtlessness?" "Not that," broke in the Dean's Wife, "it is because they have been brought up in country towns, where there is greater freedom of social manners than in the city. The country town has the maximum of liberty and the minimum of chaperonage for the young woman. She learns, if she be a wide-awake and energetic girl, to push herself to the front, to make a way for herself, and when she comes in contact with the larger world she keeps on doing it. It is not the worst thing that could happen to her, for it can be turned into positive advantage." "Such girls are usually the ones that have the greatest part in the doing of things," suggested the Editor's Wife. "Two of the 'loudest' girls I ever knew won out in the end. But they came here to have a good time-then learned better and worked for honors. They won them, too, and became in their Junior and Senior years the most modest of our girls." That is the testimony of a woman who has been in touch with the girl's side of a great university for twenty-two years. The history of those girls is that of thousands of others; they did not win completely until they subdued their own overabundant activity to the demands of the social conditions around them. It is the great lesson that every girl who goes to college must learn: that she is more certain to win if she is thoughtful of the needs of those around her, if she will be the first to regulate her social ambitions and not wait for some one else to compel her to observe the canons the world has established. Somehow, more is expected of the college girl than of the college boy. She is the embodiment of social grace in the school; she has the standing of the institution, socially, to maintain. She is always under the surveillance of scores of eyes who take note of her every act. In other words, the college girl is placed on a pedestal and is observed at close range; she must allow no subtle advantage to escape her, for if she does she loses a prestige it will take her long to regain.
Ladies Home Journal, September 1909
The Athletic Girl at College
"It is getting fashionable for every girl to be athletic," remarked the Magazine Writer; "but for my part it seems that it is overdone. I should like to know if there is really any benefit in that sort of development that helps a girl in her work." "Just this," said the Physical Culture Instructor: "she has greater confidence in herself because she knows that she can do things. Many a girl has failed in her studies because she did not have the strength for some extra strain on her physical energy. She collapsed with a nervous headache when the girl who could ride horseback—and liked to do it—could canter out on the country roads and get from the open air inspiration that carried her over the rough places. Somehow, the habit of being outdoors and of doing things that takes one to the country the year round makes a better thinker and a better student. The time thus spent is well used, for it gives a clearer brain with which to work." "The girl who has been brought up to like athletic sports is usually the one who leads her class in school. In my town," said the Magazine Writer," the valedictorians of the High-School graduating classes during the past three years have been girls who rode two to four miles on horseback every day of the school year. One of them milked two or three cows before she started and after she returned. She ranked at the head of twenty-four, mostly town boys and girls with many social engagements taking up their time." It does not follow that four miles of riding, rain or snow, or the milking of cows is needful to be successful; but it is evidence that a clear brain and a healthy body are mighty towers of strength when the trial of the schoolroom comes.

|Ida B. Wells was born in Holly Spring, Mississippi, months before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Wells became editor and co-owner of a local black newspaper called "The Free Speech and Headlight." Whn a respected black storeowner and friend of Barnett was lynched in 1892, Wells used her paper to attack the evils of lynching and encouraged the black townsmen of Memphis to go west. She took her cause to England to gain support and earned a reputation as a fiery orator and courageous leader of her people. Upon returning to the U.S., she settled in Chicago and formed the Women's Era Club, the first civic organization for African-American women.

The Sofa's Soliloquy
Thank Goodness, Tommy's nine o'clock bell has rung and I can look forward to another week's rest! This life is certainly strenuous! Oh, my poor legs and back! Imagine how you would feel being pounced upon once a week by a Wolfe or crawled over by a Spider. I live in mortal terror from one week's end to another, for promptly at the stroke of seven every Saturday evening I become the one and only desirable thing in Seminary parlors. Voices in the distance--the patter of dainty feet--a sudden rush--a wild scramble--I hold my breath--I shut my eyes--I sink 'neath the weight of five hundred avoirdupois.
But there is some compensation in this life for at once I become the chief topic of conversation. I overhear such remarks as these: "It makes me sore! That old Jay over there, gets on that sofa, by Joe, every Saturday night. I'll get here early enough next week!" Words like this make me feel quite proud and then some times I even have the honor of supporting people of Royal birth! Then, of course, I do get a kind of pleasure out of looking around and seeing the dear children enjoy themselves. I do feel sorry sometimes for that dear little light-haired boy over in the corner, who occasionally goes to sleep, but it doesn't happen in every Case.
I sometimes overhear rather interesting conversations, but usually at the critical moment, the buzzer sounds or a tall form approaches on horseback, dismounts at the parlor door and says in a sepulchral voice, "Twenty-one!--twenty-two!--Twenty-three! You know what that means!"
There is a moment's silence, a clasp of the hand and I am left, as now, to smooth out my ruffled surface, gather together my failing forces and await the next ordeal.
