Although there were a myriad of moments to break down from Sunday's sweep-clinching 4-3 victory against St. Louis, perhaps the most exciting (and gut-wrenching) was Carlos Gomez's potentially game-saving catch off Colby Rasmus in the top of the 9th inning. Let's break down the video, which can be seen here.
Perhaps the most remarkable part of this play is Gomez's initial position. The Brewers are playing Rasmus a shade to the opposite field in the outfield, a move which makes sense given the tendency of the typical player to hit balls in the air, specifically line drives, to the opposite field. As usual, click any image to embiggen.
Rasmus pulled the ball just ever so slightly, but enough to make Gomez run a long way to get it. Check out where Gomez makes the catch, just under the end of the batter's eye:
From this picture and watching Gomez's slightly curved path to the baseball, we can make a pretty good diagram of the path Gomez followed to make this play:
Those of us who know high school physics (or have a modicum of common sense) know that the shortest difference between two points is a straight line. Gomez's path was anything but. Seeing as Gomez made the catch, it's hard to argue with his path, but I think there's more than just the result which validates Gomez's dogleg to the ball. Gomez seems to be so familiar with the Miller Park dimensions and so good at following the path of a fly ball in the air that he can figure out exactly where he has to get to before backing into the wall, as he did in this play. Aside from his incredible range, Gomez has consistently made fantastic plays at the wall this year as wall. Toss his awareness of his surroundings in with his all-world athleticism, and you get the total package in center field. Once again, Carlos Gomez has made his presence felt in Milwaukee, doing exactly what the team needs him to do: save runs for the pitchers with his amazing glove.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Five Israeli soldiers were wounded and four Hamas gunmen were killed during a battle in one of the tunnels running under the Gaza border at the weekend.
The tunnel had been discovered weeks ago, and the Israelis were on an operation to demolish it when they were ambushed by armed terrorists.
An explosive device detonated in the tunnel left one Israeli seriously injured, another moderately wounded and three others in light condition. The ensuing gun battle took the lives of at least four Hamas men, including some of the group's top tunnel and rocket experts.
Israel later agreed, via Egyptian mediation, to let Hamas retrieve the bodies of two of its men from the tunnel in question.
Hours later, another tunnel was destroyed from the air by Israeli aircraft.
Hamas has dug a number of large tunnels into southern Israel with the stated intent of carrying out terrorist attacks and abducting Israeli civilians and soldiers.

Merchants that continue to sell mislabeled seafood
Merchants that continue to sell mislabeled seafood
In 2011, Minado Restaurant in Natick substituted tilapia for red snapper, and escolar was advertised as white tuna. A manager at the time explained that escolar was the American name for white tuna. In 2012, Minado changed the red snapper sign at its buffet to read "tilapia," the fish it was actually serving. But "white tuna" was written next to the word "escolar" — as if the two were interchangeable. They are not. Minado staff did not return calls seeking comment.
In 2011, what East Bay Grille in Plymouth advertised as native scrod or haddock was actually previously frozen Pacific cod. A general manager at the time said the restaurant hadn't yet updated the menu. In 2012, fish advertised as Schrod Nantucket or haddock again tested as previously frozen Pacific cod. Pacific cod was also substituted for the grouper on the menu. A general manager attributed the haddock mislabeling to a clerical error, and blamed the grouper misrepresentation on a supplier.
In 2011, the operator of Kowloon in Saugus said he was unaware that escolar was being served as white tuna and that tilapia was labeled as red snapper. In 2012, the restaurant had stopped serving white tuna, but DNA testing revealed striped bass on the menu was actually a cheaper, farmed hybrid bass.
In 2011, the owner of Doyle's Cafe in Jamaica Plain said he thought he was serving Atlantic cod in a dish, but it was actually cod caught off Alaska and shipped east in freezer containers. In 2012, the fresh cod described on the menu again turned out to be previously frozen Pacific cod. The owner said he has since revised the menu to simply say cod.
In 2011, the H Mart supermarket in Burlington misrepresented crimson snapper for the more expensive red snapper, and escolar, which can cause gastrointestinal problems, was mislabeled as white tuna. At the time, an executive with H Mart blamed a supplier for the mix-up. In 2012, the supermarket sold cheap freshwater perch as pricier ocean grouper, and Pinjalo snapper was marketed as the more expensive red snapper. A company executive for the Asian grocery chain said he was investigating the mislabeling problems.

Over the next three decades, renewable energy and nuclear power will be the world's fastest-growing energy sources, each increasing by 2.5% per year, according to a new report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). However, fossil fuels will continue to supply almost 80% of world energy use through 2040.
Almost 80% of the projected increase in renewable electricity generation will be fueled by hydropower and wind power. The report says the contribution of wind energy, in particular, has grown rapidly over the past decade, and the trend is expected to continue. Of the 5.4 trillion kilowatt-hours of new renewable generation predicted to be added over the projection period, 52% is attributed to hydroelectric power and 28% to wind.
In addition, the report says world energy consumption will increase 56% by 2040, with half of the rise attributed to China and India. World energy consumption will increase from 524 quadrillion Btu in 2010 to 820 quadrillion Btu in 2040.

Science publishing today is much like the pre-iTunes days of music sales, when customers who wanted just one song from an artist had to buy a whole album.
University libraries and companies have to buy yearlong subscriptions, called site licenses, to give researchers access to a handful of articles. But at several thousand dollars or more per subscription, even the richest libraries can't afford to buy every scientific journal that's published. And most researchers can't justify the $30 to $50 single-article fee or the wait of weeks or months for an interlibrary loan.
So, libraries pay for material they don't need, researchers are unable to access scientific papers they do need, and publishers produce content their audience can't afford.
"I don't think I've ever met a researcher who said they did not have an access problem," said Sinisa Hrvatin, a PhD candidate in biology at Harvard University. "The market is not optimized."
Hrvatin and his college roommate, Robert McGrath, think they can solve the problem by incorporating an iTunes model of single sales. Reducing the cost of individual articles — with some restrictions to protect the publishing business — will help scientists keep up with research and help libraries hold down costs, say the pair, who have named their product ReadCube Access.
So far, the two entrepreneurs, who are founders of a Cambridge company called Labtiva, have sold the ReadCube Access idea to the industry giant Nature Publishing Group and to the University of Utah's library system, which started implementing it this fall.
Researchers at the University of Utah can get access to individual journal articles in one of Nature's 80 or so subscription-based publications, many of which Utah cannot afford to buy. The library is charged under $6 for articles researchers decide to rent for a limited time and $11 or less (depending on the publication) for articles they buy. Researchers cannot yet print out the articles, and much like with iTunes, they cannot share the content with colleagues.
McGrath and Hrvatin hope to expand ReadCube Access to many more publishers and libraries.
The two are hoping their creation will complement a desktop tool called ReadCube they created to help scientists organize their research material.
"The idea was to try to simplify research — organizing what you have on a computer, finding new information that's relevant," said McGrath, a computer scientist who is chief executive of Labtiva.
ReadCube was successfully alerting scientists to new studies in their field — but the researchers often hit a wall, because they couldn't access the studies. That bottleneck is what McGrath and Hrvatin are trying to address with ReadCube Access.
Rick Anderson, interim dean of the J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah, said his library long ago cut site licenses that were not used frequently.
"Our journal collection is very, very lean," he said, which means many researchers are doing without papers that are important to their work.
He likes the concept of ReadCube Access, but is concerned that it will work too well, driving up library costs — particularly if it expands beyond Nature Publishing Group's journals. He has limited access so far to the chemistry department to gauge demand before deciding whether to include other departments.
"If we opened something like this up across the campus, you'd be taking a very big risk that your entire materials budget would get blown out in a month," Anderson said.
Fundamentally, Anderson said, the current model of scientific publishing is inefficient.
Allowing affordable single-article sales would make it more efficient by giving researchers access to the specific articles they want, rather than forcing them take a yearlong subscription, with many articles they don't need.
But in addition to putting a financial strain on libraries, it might not be good for publishers, Anderson said, just as iTunes has upended the financial model of the music industry, which can no longer count on buyers to pay for 18 songs instead of one.
There is also a major push in scientific publishing today to make journal articles available for free. This open-access model has led to the creation of some journals whose materials are all available free or are paid for by the authors instead of the subscribers. But the majority of the industry is still on a fee-for-use basis.
Nature Publishing Group said it agreed to participate in ReadCube Access as an experiment in the current economic climate.
"We are all interested in experimenting with new business models and providing access to the literature in new ways," David Hoole, marketing director for Nature Publishing Group, wrote in an e-mail.
Digital Science, a subsidiary of Nature Publishing Group's parent firm, Macmillan Publishers Ltd., provided Labtiva with $2 million in venture funding two years ago, so a relationship already existed between the two companies, Hoole said.
Hoole said he does not see the rental or the cheaper single-article option as a threat to any of Nature's 80 site-license or subscription-based journals.
"Site licenses, generally, still offer the best value for money, where the cost per download can be as little as a few cents," he said.
"So I don't think there is any risk to the subscription business from this type of article rental."Karen Weintraub can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

HERSHEY, Pa. — Through an annual mid-fiscal-year report, Penn State trustees learned March 6 that the total market value of the University's long-term investment pool (LTIP) reached $3.2 billion as of Dec. 31, 2013.
The LTIP net investment return was 14.2 percent during calendar year 2013, adjusted for the impact of gifts and spending, and after external investment management expenses. Penn State's endowment and similar funds increased by $201.5 million through the last six months of calendar year 2013, exceeding its fiscal-year end record level of $2.03 billion.
According to David E. Branigan, executive director of the University's Office of Investment Management, the University's endowment itself was valued at $2.12 billion as of Dec. 31, 2013. Similar funds, consisting of deferred gift assets such as charitable remainder trusts and gift annuities, totaled $110 million while nonendowed funds stood at approximately $1.08 billion, an increase of $76.2 million since June 30. During the 2013 calendar year, endowment and similar funds increased by $277.1 million. A summary of the year-end report can be found at http://news.psu.edu/story/288337/2013/09/20/administration/trustees-hear-year-end-report-endowment-appoint-investment/.
"The LTIP's performance compares very favorably with benchmark/survey results from Cambridge Associates, NACUBO (National Association of College and University Business Officers) and the Big Ten peer group, particularly for the three-, five- and 10-year periods ended Dec. 31, 2013," Branigan said. "We are especially pleased with the significant contributions from our Private Equity Program. We feel that our 'all-weather' portfolio has served us well, delivering investment returns that comfortably exceed endowment spending, or 'program support,' of 4.5 percent in addition to inflation and administrative costs."
The Penn State Investment Council, created by the Board of Trustees in response to the University's increasing asset base and complex investment strategies, provides direct oversight of the endowment and long-term investment program. The council regularly reviews asset allocation, new asset classes, investment strategies and manager performance.
The Office of Investment Management oversees the day-to-day management and administration of University investment funds. The office submits policies and practices, as appropriate, for approval to the Penn State Investment Council and Board of Trustees for achieving the University's investment and spending objectives.

The second "Al Khalediah Arabian Horse Festival" was held at the amazing center owned by His Royal Highness Prince Khaled Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, between January 25th and 30th. Prince Khaled's stud farm is one of the best equipped in the whole of the Gulf area. Stretching over more than 400 hectares, the center has an fully equipped internal equine hospital in which the experienced and well trained staff has obtained a considerable number of clinical successes, ranging from reproduction to embryo management methods. This state-of-the-art hospital with highly specialized staff is available also to breeders. Prince Khaled's boundless passion for the Arabian horse, which has "infected" the entire Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, made it possible for an international event to be held for the second time in Riyadh. Prince Khaled's objective is to promote the Arabian horse with more and more energy, and turn this into one of the most popular appointments in the whole of the show season.
The organizing committee was comprised of:
HRH Prince Khaled bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud,
President of the event;
Prince Faisal bin Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Saud
Prince Nawaf bin Faisal bin Fahd Al Saud
Eng. Abdullah bin Fahd bin Sweilem
Gen. Ayed Al-Jeaid
Eng. Sami Al-Nohait
Mr. Mutlaq bin Mushrif
The growth achieved over just twelve months deserves all our praise. The show managed to capture the attention of all the experts, who flocked here to see a well-managed show with a remarkable presence of spectators.
As many as 19 countries took part with 450 horses entered in the Festival events. There was a high number of guests from all over the world, gathered here thanks to the generosity of Prince Khaled who spared no expenses in making this event unforgettable, unique and very successful. The response from breeders was excellent, including many women, who had to make some minor adjustments but most of them welcomed the invitation and discovered that Saudi Arabia is a truly charming country that is definitely worth discovering.
Shuttle buses were available to guests for the transfers. During these journeys they were able to admire some unique landscapes and the desert in all its beauty, with lights that, depending on the time of the day and unlike any other place in the world, constantly changed colors and created an enchanted atmosphere. A warm sun and excellent daytime and evening temperatures accompanied the entire show.
Conformation shows have really captured everyone, so much so that the number of shows has significantly increased over the last two years, from two to four each year. Praise goes to the organization, led by the event manager Melanie Mannix and supported by a perfect team, which included the well known Mr. Abdul Moniem Ahmed, always present and indefatigable, and Mr Hakim Subhan, who assisted many of us prior to, and during, the event. The Saudi TV made a live broadcast of the show, which was mesmerizing right until the Final Championship. This year the show could also be seen live via the Web and Journalists could take advantage of a fully equipped modern media center.
For the spectators sitting on the VIP tables, the catering was excellent and impeccable. Worth mentioning is the participation of the public and the owners throughout the entire show, which made the atmosphere truly unique. From the royal gallery and the guest stands, the view was really befitting. Prince Khaled spared no expenses to make this event unforgettable, in which the star and the final winner was the Arabian horse. Original and moving shows took the breath away to the guests on the stands and on the VIP section. The scenery for the band was one of a kind. Every time a champion was named, the band highlighted the victory with the national anthem of the horse's country.
The competition
There were six judges for this event: Mr. Scott Benjamin (Canada), Mrs. Deirdre Hyde (UAE), Mrs. Joanna Lowe (UK), Mr. Richard Philstrom (F), Mr. Marek Trela (PL) and Mrs. Maria Ferraroni (IT).
The disciplinary committee comprised of Dr. Gisela Berger, Mrs. Barbara Pfistner, Dr. Abdel Wahab ben Ali Amira, Dr. Glen R. Manalpid, Dr. Pannerselvan Malarvannan and Mr. Mohamed Yahya Al Ali and did an excellent job.
The role of ring master was given to the entertaining Mr. Philip Jenkins; the Arab speaker was Mr. Mohammed Dosery and the English speaker Mr. Guy de Fontaines.
The category of yearling fillies was divided into section A and B, given the high number of participants. The first section was won by the Ajman Stud (UAE) with *Noor Bint Eternity (Eternity Ibn Navarrone-D x M Randy), which beat by 0.25 points the runner-up *Layan Al Mohamadia (Marwan Al Shaqab x Alija Cherie) owned by Al Mohamadia Stud (KSA). Further down, in third place, *Reema Al Mohamadia (Marwan Al Shaqab x Abha Nubia) owned by Al Mohamadia Stud (KSA).
The second section was won thanks to a high score by *Nooran Al Khalidiah (Padrons Image x Robin K) bred and owned by HRH Prince Khaled bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (KSA), a very successful crossbreed that fully confirms the breeding qualities of Padrons Image and also the qualities as mare of the World Champion Robin K. Second by just 0.25 points was *Zainah Al Thalitha (Korenec x Al Jazi) bred and owned by King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz & Sons (KSA). *Satwat Al Khalediah (F Shaamal x Psyches Kyss) bred and owned by HRH Prince Khaled bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (KSA) was third.
The second category, that of two-year-old fillies, was also divided into sections. Winner of the section A was *Yamamat Al Khalidiah (Padrons Image x Febyolla) bred and owned by the Al Khalediah Stables (KSA). The second and third place went to the Dubai Arabian Horse Stud (UAE). This was a bittersweet victory because the filly in third place is none other than the bronze medal at the Paris World Championship. In second place was *Jumilla (Thee Apprentile x Artemis) while the third place went, as mentioned, to *FT Shaella (Shael Dream Desert x Soul Pretty).
Section B was won by *Najdah Al Zobair (Marwan Al Shaqab x JFN Bint Ludhan) bred and owned by Sh.

The four categories dedicated to desert bred horses were held before the Final Championship, accompanied by an ongoing catering service. The show certainly lived up to the expectations and was truly astounding. The scoring criteria adopted for the judging of these classes was the comparative method, instead of the points-based one. In the fillies category, the victory and the title of champion was awarded to Zahrat Al Khadeejah, bred and owned by the Atbha Stud. Reserve Champion was Bint Khuzamah bred and owned by the King Abdulaziz Arabian Horse Center. After the awarding of the prizes, it was the turn of the colts category, where the winner was Matlooq Al Yemeen, owned by Al Aziziyah Arabian Horse Stud, a very athletic and lovely colt. Jarman Dirab was named Reserve Champion Colt thanks to his great movement. He was bred and is owned by the King Abdulaziz Arabian Horse Center. Moving on to mares, Al Dirieyah Al Thaniya, bred and owned by King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz & Sons, managed to succeed and beat in grand style the Reserve Champion Mare Ghala Dirab, bred and owned by King Abdulaziz Arabian Horse Center. Among stallions, the champion was the typey Drea Al Thani, bred and owned by King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz & Sons. Reserve Champion Stallion was Khaleel Dirab bred and owned by King Abdulaziz Arabian Horse Center, which swept up lots of prizes in these categories, together with the handler Luca Oberti.
The final championship of purebred Arabians, with its usual good deal of anticipation, certainly did not disappoint. The title of Champion Filly was awarded to the beautiful *Najdah Al Zobair (Marwan Al Shaqab x JFN Bint Ludhan) bred and owned by Sh. Abdulla bin Mohammed Ali Al Thani (UAE), well presented by Tom Schoukens. The Reserve Champion title went to another worthy filly, *Badewieh AA (Leheeb x Bahiha) owned by the Ajman Stud (UAE), well presented by Frank Sponle.
The Champion Colt title went to *Maharaja HDM (Marajj x Miss Yahsminah Elamal) owned by Mr. and Mrs. McGlinn (Australia), presented by Rinaldo Longhini. The Reserve Title was awarded to *Kabsztad (Poganin x Kwestura) owned by the Athba Stud (KSA), presented by Greg Gallun.

Champion Stallion was the wonderful *Imperial Baarez (PVA Kariim x BB Ora Kalilah) owned by the El Farida Stud of the Soliman Brothers (Egypt), flawlessly presented by Paolo Capecci. *Om El Extreem (Sanadik El Shaklan x Om El Bint Shaina) owned by the Ajman Stud (UAE) and presented by Frank Sponle was named Reserve Champion Stallion. This Show very well organize promise more and more for 2009 edition. Don't miss next edition!
As we said before in the text the fourth, fifth and sixth days of the Festival were dedicated to the actual show, which usually keeps us awake at night. In addition to the usual conformation categories, four classes were reserved for desert breeds, those for the original Desert Bred horse of Saudi Arabia, where the qualities of this horse are given even more prominence. You can imagine the excitement felt by the European participants invited to be part of the show without having to incur in any expense and not having to worry about the horses invited to participate. The owners had the opportunity to win rich prizes which this year were truly remarkable: the prize for the various categories were wonderful and precious watches whereas Mercedes cars were up for grab in the final championship, for both champions and reserves, along with the Champion for the Desert Bred competition. The 15 horses, coming from Europe and Australia, performed well and obtained, as we will see, important results. Wide and wonderful was the grass ring set up for the show.
The presence of breeders was truly remarkable during the days of the event, starting from the auction held on the first day during which many horses were sold and every record from 2008 was beaten. The record was made by the wonderful Ansata Nile Pearl (Ansata Hejazi x Ansata White Nile) that was purchased for the equivalent of 1,215,565 dollars by Sh. Bagedo of the Al Khaled Farm.
Ansata Fantastiq (Ansata Sokar x G. Fantazia) was another mare that had bidders rushing for their cheque books.
This goes to show that the auction, created just last year, has already attracted the attention of several stables and sector experts. Further confirmation comes from the fact that well over half of the 67 horses auctioned there were sold at remarkable prices, evidence of their high quality. Sire lines represented included such renowned stallions as Gazal Al Shaqab, Padrons Immage, F Shamaal, AJA Sangali, Dakharo, and El Mokari. The sun, the bidding and the scenery of the Al Khalediah Horse Festival made next year's event even more unmissable.
Monday afternoon was devoted to the compelling races, which was supported from owners from throughout the Kingdom. Gallop races in the desert are really thrilling and unique. The public, overexcited by the adrenaline-driven race, accompanied and cheered the performance of horses and jockeys. The Prince believes race performance testing is one of the most important modern methods of breed selection for Arabian horses, so naturally he is a great supporter of racing.
Seeing how eclectic Arabian horses are and how they manage to maintain their beauty throughout a gallop race is further proof that Arabian horses are by far the most eclectic breed among horses. The first section of the 1800 meter race was for imported horses aged 3 and above and the victory went to the lightweight Bint Abu Dabi, 54 Kg (El Manssour De Brou x Tanzina) owned by Salah Bin Ali Al Hamady, trained by Sultan AlHamady.
The second place went to Bariq Al Sayf, 56 kg (Arwak Daroco x Benita Tm) owned by Abdul Rahmnan bin Abdulla Al Damer. Congratulations to its owner and jockey Khaled Alrawasheed.
In third place Zain Al Maani, 56 kg (Darike x D Janizid) trained by Rashid AlMary, owned by Bander bin Hazam bin Shabeeb Al Hathlain. Congratulations to its owner and its jockey.
The second section of the 1800-meter race was reserved for locally bred horses aged 4 and above. The confident winner was Hammam Al Thalith, 56 kg (Kash de Nerak x Al Haydaryah) owned by Adel bin Yousef AlQusaibi and trained by M. AlGanem. The second place went to Al Batan, 56 Kg (Sinus x Sabha) owned by Tareq Abdulhady Al Qahtany trained by M. AlMasodi. Shadad AlThalith, 56 kg (Awaj x Frial Al Shaqab) owned by Abdullatif bin Mohamad Aldoghan, trained by K. AlJegiman was third.
The third section of the 1600 m race was reserved for locally bred three-year-old horses. The winner was Badieat Awam 54 Kg (Al Nasr x Raakesah) owned by Ahmad bin Naser AlKhamees and trained by A. Alfarj. In second place was Noof, 54 Kg (Kash de Nerak x Ghalia) bred and owned by Abdul Rahman bin Ali Albrahem and trained by R. Albrahem. The third place went to Almazyoon, 56 Kg (Ghassan x Kerasene) owned by Saeed bin Abdulaziz AlGhumgham, trained by S. Alaid.
The last race was for Desert Bred (Saudi) horses aged 3 and above, dominated by Al Khalediah, which won all the three top places. The winner was Mansour El Biwaibiya, 58 Kg (Tiwaiq x Nashwa) owned by the Al Khalediah Stables, trained by Mutlaq bin Mushref and ridden by Sebestain Madrid. Second was Bint Obeyat Al Khalidiah, 56 Kg (Tiwaik x Ardah), trained by Mutlaq bin Mushref and ridden by Aidekson.
The third place went to Jalood Al Khalidiah, 58 Kg (Tiwaik x Al Azizya) and the trainer was once again Mutlaq bin Mushref and ridden by W. Ramos.
Great success of Tiwaiq as sire of champions!
This year, for the first time, there was also an endurance race, a 120 km CEI *** recognized by FEI, organized so that this unique event could be even more complete. Endurance is attracting more and more attention in all the Arab countries. The Al Khalediah Show Festival could not be a better showcase for a sport that is set to grow exponentially over a short time, thanks to the efforts and commitment towards the world of the Arabian horse of Prince Khaled. The competition had some tense moments and many participants gave up during the well-organized race.

It can be real tricky to put a real-world valuation on your prized Corvette. It's one thing to know how much you paid for it, or how much you've invested (whether in blood, sweat, and hours or through checks you've written) in building the car of your dreams. But how much is it really worth? Pricing can be very subjective. After all, in a free-market economy, the price of anything is whatever a potential buyer is willing to pay and a particular seller is willing to accept-especially in the world of modified cars where no two are exactly alike. It can be a very worthwhile investment to hire a professional auto appraiser to establish an objective value for you.
To help take the mystery out of the whole appraisal process, we called on an expert, Jeff Hyman of Classic Auto Appraiser in Orange County, California, who has been in the appraisal business for 15 years. "Early in my appraisal career," Jeff tells us, "I realized that one of the most popular types of vehicles that I was being asked to inspect was Corvettes. So, in order to learn more about the only true American sports car, I took a part-time job at Corvette Mike's." For over a year, Jeff spent every weekend and some occasional weekdays selling Corvettes both at their current Anaheim showroom and the previous one in Orange. "It was like a crash course in Corvette knowledge! It would have taken me 10 years to gain the experience that a year on the showroom floor taught me."
We also talked Jerry Bentley into volunteering his highly modified '62 roadster to be appraised, so that we could watch Jeff in action. Jerry's '62 has graced the pages-and the cover-of VETTE before ("Radical Revisionist," Aug. '01), and was appraised by Jeff several years ago, but Jerry has done more modifications to his Vette since then. Thus it was time to update its established value.
When and why should you get your corvette appraised?
There are many reasons why someone may need to have their Vette professionally appraised. As Jeff explains, "By far, the most common reason that vehicles get appraised is for insurance purposes. However, there are also a multitude of financial and legal reasons, including bank loans, tax donations, divorce, diminished value, estate sales, or simply because an out-of-touch owner wants to know how much to sell his or her car for." An appraiser provides an independent, unemotional evaluation of your car's worth.
The owner of a restored, matching-numbers '67 big-block 427/435hp car has little need for a professional appraiser to tell them what that car is worth because there are numerous published price guides (including the one published annually in the May issue of VETTE) that, as long as the condition is established honestly, will give you an accurate actual cash value of that vehicle. Even a rookie adjuster can look up the value for a C5 coupe automatic, but it takes an expert in specialty cars to comprehend what the real worth of a modified mid-year with electronic fuel injection is.
If your Corvette looks anything like Jerry's radical '62, it's vital to get it professionally appraised. Should the unthinkable happen and your Vette is either wrecked or stolen, you need to have proof of what it was worth. "As an appraiser, I get a couple calls every week from owners whose custom automobiles were wrecked or stolen," Jeff tells us. "They are beside themselves because the insurance company wants to settle with them for a fraction of what they have invested in the car. Or worse still, after a small accident, the insurance company wants to total their pride and joy because the adjuster feels that the car is worthless. Owners often feel like they are being ripped off twice-once by the car thief and again by the insurance company!" It's best to have a professional appraisal done and present the report to your insurance company so your policy can be based on the agreed value.
If your Corvette has been modified or customized; is unique, very rare, or just plain special; and is now worth significantly more than a stock or restored version of the same car, you should really think about getting it professionally appraised. The same goes for a completely stock car with matching numbers, a rare factory-equipment package, one that's an unrestored virgin, or one that has some unique history behind it. Anything that might make a car be worth significantly more than an "ordinary" counterpart had better be confirmed by a professional appraisal-whether the Vette is a classic or a late-model.
How To Find A "Qualified" Appraiser
It's important for you-the consumer-to do your homework when it comes to finding a qualified appraiser. It doesn't require any kind of a license to become an appraiser, and "certification" by most of the various appraisal associations only requires paying a membership fee. Thus, there are no guarantees that a "professional appraiser" has any more of a clue about evaluating your car than you do.
So what should you look for in an appraiser? First, don't bother flipping through the Yellow Pages to find someone. Instead, rely on the experiences of people you can trust to help link you up with a reliable professional. An established and experienced professional appraiser is well-versed and well-acquainted with many people in the automotive hobby/industry, and they should also be a known quantity as far as most insurance companies are concerned. It takes a long time for appraisers to establish themselves as reliable judges of value, and you'll get the best value by finding someone with plenty of experience.
One of the best methods for finding an expert appraiser is to ask around for a good referral. Call your local Corvette shop, talk to members of your local club, or ask a fellow owner. Someone you know can likely connect you with an appraiser you can trust.
There are many questions that you should ask an appraiser before getting started. First and foremost, explain to the appraiser what the intended need is for the appraisal. If it is for insurance purposes, make sure that the appraiser is recognized and accepted by your insurance company, or else you'll be wasting your time and money. Also, ask how many copies of the report you will receive. You will need at least two copies-both with original prints of the photos (not color copies). One report should go in your records while the other one is for your insurance company.
You should expect an appraiser who's within a reasonable distance to come to you. Jeff says you shouldn't have to drive across the county to give the appraiser your business. "Your car may be a show car that is freshly finished or one that just isn't driven everywhere in all kinds of weather." Furthermore, any supporting documents that might be useful in the appraisal are more likely to be at hand where the car resides.
When the appraiser arrives, ask to see samples of other appraisals he or she has performed. "A good appraiser will always carry with them sample appraisals of many different types of vehicles-hopefully one that is similar to yours," says Jeff. It should be in booklet form and include many quality digital photos (perhaps 30-40) that illustrate ALL aspects of the car. A picture is truly worth a thousand words and likely thousands of dollars! The appraisal should also include a very thorough and detailed narrative explaining just what is special or unique about the car-noting all relevant serial numbers and detailing the work performed and the components used. "It should be descriptive enough that an adjuster hundreds of miles away who has never seen your car should be able to read and have a fairly good idea of what your Corvette looked like and consisted of."
The appraiser should show up well-prepared, equipped with a good-quality digital cameral (insurance companies now accept only digital photography), and with tools such as a good flashlight, a telescopic mirror, and maybe a protective cloth to place on your car as he's crawling around it. "Over the past 15 years, I have developed what has become a nine-page comprehensive checklist that I use when evaluating any type of customized vehicle," explains Jeff, "so shy away from anyone who shows up with a simple one-page carbon-copy form. They are supposed to thoroughly inspect your Vette!"
The appraiser must be familiar with and knowledgeable about Corvettes, especially the breed you have. Someone who specializes in high-dollar classics like Deusenburgs and Bugattis is less likely to know his way around a big-block Shark. The right appraiser for you should know his way around a Corvette inside and out, know where to find numbers, and be able to name and identify most of the custom components on your ride. "If he has to ask you what things are, send him away. A good appraiser keeps up-to-date with the latest products by reading magazines and attending major trade shows like the annual SEMA event."
The appraiser should also be familiar with and known by most of the local contractors such as painters, upholsterers, fabrication shops, consignment shops, engine builders, etc. and be able to recognize their typical work.
Your appraiser must also respect you and your Corvette. There's no reason for him to lecture you on what you should or should not have done or low-ball your evaluation just because your car may not suit his tastes.
What Determines Your Corvette's Appraised Value?
A multitude of factors are considered when estimating the ultimate value of a vehicle. Some factors include the type and exact model of the car (i.e. a '63 split-window will automatically be more valuable than a '77 coupe), whether or not it is modified, and the extent of those modifications. Is it a frame-off or a ground-up rebuild? A total custom fabrication or mildly personalized?
Other factors include the craftsmanship of the work performed, the dollars spent, the extent of modifications, the components used, the uniqueness and creativity of the Vette, its overall appearance, and who performed the work. Who does the work on a car can have a big influence on its final value. Because of name recognition and a reputation for quality, a Corvette built by a Boyd Coddington or Newman's Car Creations would be worth somewhat (maybe much) more than a home-built car, even if the actual workmanship is identical.
Many custom cars have a great deal of one-off fabrication, and that time must be taken into account-including the time involved in R&D. The value of aftermarket components; any polishing, plating, or special finishing; and the labor involved with adapting them to your application are all important factors. Even if the Vette was built in your own home shop, your time is worth something as well.
The more attention that is paid to details in a classy way, the more the value of your car will increase. Jeff points out that details such as welds that are ground smooth and the use of stainless steel button-head Allen bolts can add up when it comes to the end value. Inversely, shoddy workmanship and cut corners can likewise detract from the total value.
Receipts are good supporting material for an appraisal, but not every dollar that is spent will necessarily add to the end value. Most obviously, if you spend $10K at one shop that screws the job up and you end up spending $20K at another to get it fixed, an appraisal will only reflect the cost to replicate the job once the right way.
Jeff emphasizes the fact that an appraiser can only base the Vette's value on what is visible. There's no way an appraiser can verify that you've put thousands of dollars into internal engine work. He'll likely make a note of what the owner tells him, but an appraiser can only add value for what he can see.
Also, a degree of notoriety and exposure can increase a car's value somewhat. Winning your class at a major show and/or being featured in a national magazine, like Jerry's car has, makes it more recognizable and can add to the conventional value.
What Will It Cost?
According to Jeff, it should cost you $200-300 for an appraiser to come to you, spend about an hour or so inspecting your Corvette, take all the appropriate notes and digital photos, and supply you with two appraisal booklets-as long as you are within an hour or so drive from their office. The finished appraisal should be hand-delivered or express-mailed to you within 2-3 days. "Believe me," says Jeff, "if you ever have to file a serious insurance claim on that Vette, it will be the best money you ever spent!"
Last Words
Should something happen to your special ride and it had not been appraised before hand, don't despair quite yet. It's often possible for a quality appraiser to put together an "after-the-fact" appraisal for your insurance company-based on clear and detailed photographs and as much detailed information as you can provide. Obviously it is far better to have the car evaluated ahead of time and base your insurance policy around the agreed value of your Corvette. But all is not lost as long as you have plenty of good photos so the appraiser can see just how nice the car was and how much work went into it. The same is possible for long-distance appraisals. It's possible for an appraiser to provide an appraisal for a car "sight unseen," but he is required to say so on the appraisal. That means that his valuation is based solely on whatever photos are provided and what the owner says was done to the car.

Some Mets are playing for personal numbers now, and Mike Pelfrey will get two more starts after tonight and has a shot at 17 victories, which would be outstanding considering he was MIA for nearly six weeks. Collectively, the Mets still have a chance at .500, but they've played lousy on the road all year and these next six games will be difficult.
Also, third place looks better than fourth.
The Jerry Manuel Era slowly winds down with Game #151 tonight at Florida.
