SustainX obtains first energy patent
The Dartmouth
October 11, 2011
The Lebanon, N.H.-based company SustainX, which grew out of work conducted at the Thayer School of Engineering, received its first U.S. patent last week for a new energy storage technique, according to SustainX Board Chairman and Thayer Dean emeritus Charles Hutchinson.
The patent is the first to cover claims for "isothermal compressed-air energy storage" technology—a method that maintains air at a constant temperature as it is compressed and expanded, according to Hutchinson. The new technology makes it possible to store electricity without the use of batteries, he said.
"The issuance of this patent is a milestone for SustainX, because it solidifies the commercial position of our core technology—isothermal gas cycling in pneumatic cylinders," SustainX President and CEO Thomas Zarrella said in a press release.
SustainX's technique uses electricity to store energy by compressing air in a tank. Electricity can then be retrieved by running the system in reverse to release the air, according to Hutchinson.

In the first week of March 2003, I had written an article titled "Mystery surrounding Khalid Sheikh Mohammed" .This was carried by rediff.com on March 4,2003, and by the web site of the Global Research the next day at http://globalresearch.ca/articles/RAM303A.html .
2. In that article, I had stated inter alia as follows: "Remember the Pearl case? Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence claimed to have solved the case without recovering the dead body and prosecuted Sheikh Omar and his accomplices. The court was told they were the only plotters who deserved to be convicted and sentenced to death. Even as the trial was mid-way, Pakistani security agencies, while investigating another case, fell upon a group of some other terrorists belonging to the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (International). During the interrogation, they surprised Pakistani and US intelligence agencies by claiming it was they who had killed Pearl. They led the police to a spot on the outskirts of Karachi where Pearl's remains were found buried. Forensic tests confirmed their finding and the remains were subsequently handed over to his widow. Under the law, when a confession made by a suspect leads to some material recovery such as a murder weapon or a dead body, there is an automatic presumption that the entire confession is correct. So, if the Pakistani and US agencies had followed the due process of law, they should have withdrawn the case from court, re-investigated it and submitted a fresh charge-sheet. They did nothing of the sort. Instead, they kept away information about the recovery of Pearl's remains and the arrests of the new suspects from the court. When the defence counsel for Sheikh Omar asked the court to take cognisance of media reports in this regard and order a re-investigation, the court declined to do so. It sentenced Sheikh Omar to death and the other accused to life imprisonment. Their appeals have not been disposed of because Pakistani officials have not yet sorted out the confusion created by the recovery of Pearl's remains on information provided by some terrorists who had not been prosecuted in the case."
3.On March 1, 2003, a joint team of the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence ) and US intelligence raided a house in Rawalpindi in an area where many retired officers of the Pakistan army and the ISI live and arrested three people. One of the arrested men was identified as Khalid Sheikh Mohammad (KSM), a close aide of Osama bin Laden and the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist strikes in the US. The ISI handed him over to the US intelligence, which flew him initially to Diego Garcia and then to the Guantanamo Bay detention centre for Al Qaeda and other terrorist suspects in Cuba. Shortly thereafter, rumors started circulating that KSM had claimed during his interrogation that it was he who had killed Daniel Pearl.
4. In an article titled "Musharraf's Goose Getting Cooked" written by me on October 23,2003, which is available at http://www.southasiaanalysis.org/papers9/paper821.html , I had stated inter alia as follows:
"Oct. 22, 2003 | Last Thursday, a senior White House official called Mariane Pearl and Paul Steiger, the managing editor of the Wall Street Journal, to report a new, key development in the investigation into the death of Mariane's husband, Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. "We have now established enough links and credible evidence to think that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed" -- the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks -- "was involved in your husband's murder," the official told Mariane.
"What do you mean 'involved'?" Mariane asked.
"We think he committed the actual murder."
"So says a sensational article on the kidnapping and murder of Danial Pearl, the US journalist, written by Asra Q. Nomani, the free-lance journalist, then living in Karachi, in whose house Pearl and his wife Mariane had stayed when he went on his ill-fated trip to Karachi from Mumbai last year to investigate a report that an e-mail which had directed Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, to carry out his operation to blow up an American aircraft had originated from Karachi and that the e-mail had been sent by the Jamaat-ul-Fuqra, a Pakistani organisation with many sleeper cells in the USA, Canada and the West Indies, including in the US Armed Forces.
"In the year 2000, a mysterious web site calling for solidarity amongst the Muslims serving in the Armed Forces of the world suddenly appeared and started registering such Muslims. While it could not be definitively established as to who was behind the web site, Police sources in Pakistan suspected that the Fuqra cells in the USA were behind it. One does not know whether Pearl knew all this when he arrived in Karachi, but his investigation, for as yet unknown reasons, was focussed on the background and activities of this organisation and its leaders.
"In the hundreds of reports -- open as well as confidential -- which had emanated from Pakistan till now on his murder, the name of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad (KSM) had not figured. The Pervez Musharraf regime initially projected the murder as the work of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammad (JEM), which continues to be active despite the so-called ban, and then the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LEJ), the banned Sunni extremist organisation, and then others.
"Omar Sheikh, a British citizen of Pakistani origin, who had been working for the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) since the early 1990s and who used to head the Lahore cell of AL Qaeda, was ultimately blamed along with some others. The appeal filed by him against the death sentence awarded to him by the anti-terrorism court and by the other accused against the prison sentences awarded to them has not been heard so far. The hearing on the appeal is being repeatedly postponed on some ground or the other.
"Even as the hearing in the anti-terrorism court was on, the Pakistani media reported that the Pakistani authorities had in custody some other suspects, including some Yemeni-Balochis, who confessed to murdering Pearl. It was also reported that it was on their confession that the remains of Pearl were recovered by the Pakistani authorities.
"Under the law in any country, when material objects relating to a case are recovered on the basis of a confessional statement of a suspect, the confession is presumed to be correct unless proved otherwise. Surprisingly, the Pakistani authorities did not charge these new suspects with the murder of Pearl. The anti-terrorism court, under pressure from the Musharraf regime, refused to take cognisance of the media reports in this connection and call for the production of the new suspects before the court. It accepted the denial of the state that any such confession had been made.
"While the fact that it was an Yemeni-Balochi, who had slit the throat of Pearl before a video camera, had surfaced before, none of the reports so far had identified KSM as the man who did it. The revelation of KSM's role, if correct, raises a host of intriguing questions for which there are no answers at present:
* Did the Yemeni-Balochi suspects, referred to by the Pakistani media, speak about the role of KSM? If so, did the Pakistani authorities tell the US about it?
* Did Omar Sheikh mention KSM when he was in the informal custody of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for some days after his voluntary surrender to a retired officer of the ISI, who was functioning as the Home Secretary of Punjab in February last year?
* Did Omar Sheikh tell the Karachi Police about the role of KSM when he was subsequently interrogated by them?
* Did KSM tell the ISI about his role when it interrogated him for some hours after his arrest at Rawalpindi in March last before handing him over to the US authorities?
* Was KSM's role independently known to the Pakistani authorities? If so, up to what level?
* Did Musharraf himself know about it? Was the US kept informed?
* If the Pakistani authorities knew about it, why did they readily hand him over to the US whereas they have not only adamantly refused to hand over Omar Sheikh, but even declined to allow the British to independently interrogate him, as reported by the Daily Times of Lahore?"
5.A report carried by the "Guardian" of the UK on March 19,2007, under the title "Confession triggers appeal in Daniel Pearl case" stated as follows:
" Lawyers for British-born Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, who is under a death sentence for the murder of the US journalist Daniel Pearl, are planning an appeal based on a confession last week by a top al-Qaida figure.
"Sheikh, originally from Wantstead, east London, was sentenced to death in 2002 for the kidnapping and beheading of Pearl, a Wall Street Journal reporter abducted in Pakistan while researching a story on Islamist militants.
"But Khalid Sheikh Mohammed - the self-proclaimed mastermind of the attacks on the US of September 11 2001 - said in a confession released by the Pentagon last week that it was he who killed Pearl.
"Sheik's lawyer, Rai Basheer Ahmed, who described his client's conviction as "a gross miscarriage of justice", said he planned to make an appeal based on Mohammed's confession.
"In the next court hearing, I am going to submit the recent statement by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in which he said he himself beheaded the US journalist," Mr Ahmed told Reuters. "From day one, my contention was that the evidence presented in court was not strong enough to lead to the conviction of my client."
"Mohammed (KSM) admitted involvement in more than 30 attacks or plots during a hearing at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.
"I decapitated with my blessed right hand the head of the American Jew Daniel Pearl," Mohammed said, according to a transcript of his statement.
"But intelligence experts are skeptical of Mohammed's confession. Robert Baer, a former CIA field officer assigned to the Middle East, said Mohammed, described as KSM by the US authorities, came across as "boasting, at times mentally unstable".
"Writing in Time magazine, Mr Baer said: "I'm told by people involved in the investigation that KSM was present during Wall Street Journal correspondent Danny Pearl's execution but was in fact not the person who killed him. There exists videotape footage of the execution that minimises KSM's role."
"Mohammed, 42, a Pakistani brought up in Kuwait, was arrested in Pakistan in March 2003 and handed over to the Americans.
"In the transcript Mohammed claimed that Pearl, who had been investigating a trip made by Richard Reid, the would-be shoe-bomber, to Pakistan, had been working for the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.
"Pearl disappeared in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi in January 2002.
"The video of the killing, entitled The Slaughter of the Spy-journalist, the Jew Daniel Pearl, shows a man cutting Pearl's head off. His severed head is then held up by the hair. In the transcript Mohammed says: "For those who would like to confirm, there are pictures of me on the internet holding his head."
"Sheikh, who attended the private Forest school in Snaresbrook, east London and who dropped out of the London School of Economics, was sentenced to death while three co-accused were jailed for life.
"The convicts appealed to the Sindh provincial high court in July 2002. The government also appealed to the same court, asking for more severe penalties for the co-accused.
"But court hearings have been repeatedly postponed, mostly because of the absence of lawyers representing the convicts. Under Pakistani law, a convict has the right to appeal in superior courts but no case can be heard if lawyers of the convict are absent."
6.In a report titled "Suspects in Pearl case yet to be tried over fears of damaging testimonies", the "Dawn" of Karachi reported as follows on September 23,2008:
"KARACHI, Sept 22: Two high-profile militants of the banned Lashkar-i-Jhangvi, Attaur Rehman and Faisal Bhatti, who were picked up under suspicion of involvement in the kidnapping and murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl, have remained in the custody of police and intelligence agencies for over six years without being charged, reportedly because their testimony may lead to a retrial of Shaikh Omar and his associates, who were found guilty of the kidnapping and murder in 2002.
"Sources in the intelligence agencies said that in addition to having been involved in several sectarian killings, Rehman (alias Naeem Bukhari) and Bhatti (alias Zubair Chishti) were believed to have arranged a location on the outskirts of Karachi, where they kept Pearl after he was kidnapped in January 2002, and subsequently handed the victim over to some Arabs who eventually killed him.
The two militants were picked up from the Nazimabad area in June 2002 but none of the law-enforcement agencies acknowledged their arrest until 2007. On June 29, 2002, the Sindh home department published an advertisement declaring Rehman and Bhatti to be most-wanted terrorists and announcing a collective reward for Rs6 million for their arrest.
"The pair's relatives went to the Sindh High Court to challenge their illegal detention but the government insisted that neither of the men were under its custody. At the time these petitions were being heard, lawyer Aamir Mansoob Qureshi had quoted reports from the media that referred to the arrest of the men and the recovery of a large quantity of arms and ammunition from them. He had requested the court to bring the alleged recovery on the record so that if the police claimed the arrest of the suspected detainees in the future, the weapons' cache could not be attributed to them.
"Nevertheless, it was eventually on June 2, 2007, that the Kashmor police claimed to have arrested Rehman and Bhatti for possessing illegal weapons and explosive materials. The announcement of their arrest was made in order to escape action by the Supreme Court, which was hearing cases of 'missing persons' amongst whom the two militants were counted. At the time, Kashmor police chief Noor Ahmed Paichuho and other officials claimed that Rehman and Bhatti were being interrogated with reference to the Pearl murder case.
Neither of the men have, however, been produced so far in any court of law in connection with the Pearl case. The outcome of their interrogations was never made public and they are currently being held in Sukkur Prison.
"Senior security officials told Dawn that the trial regarding Pearl's kidnapping and murder was at its final stages when Rehman and Bhatti were arrested. Had the arrests been shown, they claimed, it would have ruined the prosecution's argument that Ahmed Omar Saeed Shaikh, aka Shaikh Omar, and his accomplices were involved in the kidnapping and killing of the Wall Street reporter.
"We held day-long discussions with intelligence and government officials and prosecutors in order to decide whether or not to acknowledge the arrest of Attaur Rehman and Faisal Bhatti," said a senior official on the condition of anonymity. "The common view was that the acknowledgement would ruin the prosecution's argument and would lead to the acquittal of Shaikh Omar and his associates, so we decided not to announce their arrest."
"A month after Rehman and Bhatti were arrested, on July 15, 2002, an Anti-Terrorism Court in Hyderabad handed down a death sentence to Shaikh Omar, and life terms to his three associates, for the kidnapping and murder of Daniel Pearl.
"The official said that as a result of an unusual delay in the hearing of the appeals filed by the men convicted in the Pearl case, the police were forced to refrain from acknowledging the arrest of Rehman and Bhatti. "They were held secretly at different locations but it was the missing person's case that forced the government to finally acknowledge their arrest in 2007," he explained.
"Once the arrests were acknowledged, a fresh petition was moved in the Sindh High Court through which the petitioner asked the court to record the statements of both Attaur Rehman and Faisal Bhatti, in order to ascertain where they had been kept in illegal custody between 2002 and June, 2007.
"At a recent hearing, the additional advocate-general of Sindh presented a statement on behalf of the Sindh home department, which said that Rehman and Bhatti were wanted in eight criminal cases. However, the list of cases did not include the Pearl murder case.
"The petitioners' counsel Aamir Mansoob told Dawn that his clients should be given the chance to appear before the court and record statements, so that it could be ascertained where they have been for the five years before their arrest was acknowledged by law enforcement agencies. "This is my sole plea to the court," he said.
"However, a source maintained that since the government was in no mood to reopen the Pearl murder case, it was unlikely to allow Rehman and Bhatti to record statements and apprise the court of their story, since that would go in favour of Shaikh Omar and his associates.
"We would face a nightmarish situation if either of the two militants confessed before a court of law to involvement in the Pearl murder case," said a senior security officer. "I advised the government not to charge them in the Pearl case since otherwise, this would lead to a retrial of Shaikh Omar and his associates, and the acquittal of all the men already convicted. And if that had happened, our credibility would have been questioned by the whole world."
"According to this officer, this was also the reason why the government did not initiate prosecution proceedings against one of the absconders in the Pearl murder case, Hashim Qadeer (alias Arif), who was formally arrested in August 2005 under suspicion of involvement in the Pearl case. Since then, however, he has remained incarcerated in a Karachi jail without having faced trial."
7.A report titled "US Journalist Daniel Pearl was Killed by 9/11 Mastermind" carried by the "Epoch Times" of the US on January 20,2011, stated as follows:
"The four men convicted in the murder of U.S. reporter Daniel Pearl, who was beheaded in Pakistan nine years ago, were involved but were not the killers, a report released on Thursday (January 20) says.
"The three-year-long probe into the Feb. 1, 2002 murder, conducted by Georgetown University's The Pearl Project, concluded that in all, 27 men played a role in the capture and murder of the former Wall Street Journal bureau chief. Fourteen of them are still at large have taken part in other terrorist activities since, the report said. Another four of the 27 men are now dead, and five are detained or missing.
"The report concludes that Pakistani officials used false testimony to try and quickly close the case by pinning the actual murder on Omar Sheikh, who was the mastermind behind the operation but not the actual killer.
"British-born Sheikh and three other men were convicted of Pearl's killing, but according to the Georgetown team, they were actually not present when he was slain. However, they are still implicated in the crime.
"The Pearl Project reveals that justice was not served for Danny," former Wall Street Journal reporter Asra Q. Nomani stated. "We couldn't save him, but we have uncovered the truth left behind. Through his death, Danny teaches us important lessons about the reality on the ground in Pakistan regarding militancy, Islamic extremism and terrorism."
"Alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's interviews with FBI agents in Guantanamo were examined by researchers. KSM, as he's known, told the FBI that he personally slit Pearl's throat and severed his head. He may have been assisted by two of his nephews, Musaad Aruchi and Ali Abdul Aziz Ali.
"Aruchi's whereabouts are unknown. Ali, according to Human Rights Watch, was reportedly arrested in 2003 and held by the CIA until being transferred to Guantanamo Bay in September 2006 where he remains.
"Pearl was kidnapped when he was on his way to interview alleged "shoe bomber" Richard Reid, the man who attempted to blow up a passenger jet over the Atlantic Ocean.
"Pearl's sad fate is well known, but details about the many players who perpetrated the crime have been shrouded—until now," said William E. Buzenberg, the executive director of the Center for Public Integrity according to the report.
"Former Wall Street Journal reporter Asra Q. Nomani and Georgetown University Journalism Director Barbara Feinman Todd together with 32 students conducted the research for the report."
8.It is learnt that Ms.Nomani's family had migrated to Pakistan from Hyderabad in India after 1947. She subsequently went to the US and reportedly worked for some months with Pearl in the New York office of the "Wall Street Journal." She subsequently resigned from the WSJ and went to Karachi to work on a research project. She continued to be in touch with Pearl and his wife Mariane. Pearl was transferred from New York to Mumbai to report for the WSJ from there. He, along with his wife, went to Karachi from Mumbai in January 2002 on a reporting assignment. It is believed they stayed with Nomani and that Pearl went for his ill-fated meeting with some individuals with whom he was in touch through E-mail from Mumbai but whom he had not known in a taxi. He never returned from the meeting. He fell into a trap, was kidnapped and then murdered.
9.After his kidnapping, Omar Sheikh surrendered to Brig. (retd) Ejaz Shah, then serving as the Home Secretary of the Government of Punjab in Lahore. When he did so, Pervez Musharraf was on a visit to the US. During his interactions with officials and the media in the US Musharraf did not mention about the surrender of Omar Sheikh. Ejaz Shah handed over Omar to the ISI, which, in turn, handed him over to the Karachi police. The indications from Pakistani sources have been that while Omar orchestrated the trapping and kidnapping of Pearl, he was already in the custody of the Pakistani authorities when Pearl was allegedly murdered in custody by KSM.
10.There were thus two sub-conspiracies in the main conspiracy against Pearl. The first related to his kidnapping in which Omar was involved and the second relating to his murder which was carried out by KSM. Ejaz Shah was subsequently appointed by Musharraf as the head of the Pakistani Intelligence Bureau. He left that post after Musharraf's exit as the President in 2009. Before Benazir Bhutto returned from political exile in October,2007, she had reportedly expressed fears that there could be a threat to her life from Ejaz Shah and Qari Saifullah Akhtar, the head of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJ). While no investigation was ordered by the Government of Prime Minister Yousef Raza Gilani into the alleged role of Shah, Qari Akhtar was taken into custody by the police and interrogated. He was released on the ground that there was no evidence against him.
11.Despite the painstaking work by Nomani and her colleagues, the mystery surrounding the kidnapping and murder of Pearl still remains unresolved. Many questions remain unanswered satisfactorily: Why was he targeted? Which individuals and organisations were involved in the conspiracy to kidnap him and in the subsequent conspiracy to kill him? Why they killed him? When did the ISI, the IB, and the Karachi Police come to know of the conspiracy---- before the kidnapping at the stage of planning or after he was kidnapped, but before his execution or after his execution? What was the role of Ejaz Shah in the case? Was Musharraf aware while he was in the US of the surrender of Omar to Ejaz? If so, did he inform the US authorities about it? If not, why not? Why the Pakistani authorities are silent on the involvement of KSM and others? Why are they against a re-investigation of the case? Why did Benazir fear a threat to her life from Ejaz Shah? Why the US has not been pressing Pakistan for a re-investigation? Why a retired US intelligence official has cast doubts on the credibility of the confession of KSM?
12.It is important to revisit the investigation made so far and go into all these questions, but one has an impression that neither the US nor Pakistan is interested in a re-investigation.
13.Nomani is a very well-informed person on terrorism emanating from Pakistan. She had contributed a detailed article on the recent murder of Salman Taseer, the Governor of Punjab, by one of his security guards to the online edition of "Foreign Policy" on January 5. It is annexed.( (23-1-11)

Salmaan Taseer and the Punjabi Taliban
By Asra Q. Nomani, January 5, 2011
The brutal assassination of Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer by a man in his security detail is being tied to a courageous stand he took opposing the nation's antiquated blasphemy laws and supporting a Catholic woman, Aasia Bibi, accused of blasphemy.
But there is another important position Taseer has taken that should be emphasized: he was one of very few Pakistani politicians who honestly and openly recognized the existence of the "Tehrik-i-Taliban Punjab," sometimes called the "Punjabi Taliban," comprised, through the years, of an alphabet soup of sectarian militant organizations: Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) Harkat-ul Mujahideen (HUM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and Sipah-e-Sahaba (SSP), among others, inspired by an intolerant brand of Sunni Islam called Deobandism.
This past June, Dawn, a leading English language daily in Pakistan, carried this headline: "Punjabi Taliban are a reality: Taseer." The governor of the province of Punjab was taking a brave stand because the militants of these groups were born in his state in towns with names such as Bahawalpur and Raheem Yar Khan. But, with attacks on mosques, bazaars and police stations in Punjab, they were also killing his innocent citizens. Aasia Bibi, the Catholic woman sitting in jail for blasphemy, was one of the citizens of Punjab, and the call to kill her comes out of supporters of the Punjabi Taliban.
The best way for Pakistan to honor Taseer is to admit its homegrown militancy and destroy it. America and the West must also recognize that the problem of militancy in South Asia isn't restricted to Afghanistan or the Federally Administered Tribal Areas in Pakistan. It's also in the very heartland of Pakistan.
Later this month, on the ninth anniversary of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl's kidnapping in Karachi on January 23, 2002, my co-professor at Georgetown University, Barbara Feinman Todd, and I will publish a report at the Center for Public Integrity, describing the findings of the Pearl Project, a faculty-student investigative reporting project into Danny's murder, and we will chronicle how Danny's case was an early harbinger of the problems Pakistan — and the world — face today from militants in the Punjab.
For America, the threat from the Punjabi militants is not just something far away. The militant groups that make up the Punjabi Taliban have been tied to the 2008 Mumbai attacks. David Headley, the Pakistani-American who changed his name from Daood Sayed Gilani, was a point man for the Mumbai attacks and trained by Lashkar-e-Taiba, one of the Punjab-based militant groups. Also, Pakistan security experts say the Punjabi Taliban work closely with the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, a group linked to the attempted 2010 Time Square bomb attack by U.S. citizen Faisal Shahzad, as well as with al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
The sad tale of the Punjabi Taliban and its destructive force is yet another story of Frankenstein's monster returning to kill its creator. In the 19th century novel, Henry Frankenstein, the scientist who created the monster, is only saved when villagers destroy the monster. Similarly, the Punjabi militant groups are the creation of Pakistan, and the nation's salvation rests only in the people of Pakistan destroying them.
Sadly, instead of a nation denouncing the alleged killer, Malik Hussein Mumtaz Qadri, lawyers in Pakistan showered rose petals upon him when he appeared in court, supporters kissed him on the cheek, and he wore a garland of roses and jasmine usually worn by bridegrooms to celebrate weddings.
After the Mumbai attacks Daniel Markey, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and a South Asia expert formerly on the U.S. State Department's Policy Planning Staff, said that "Pakistan's government may be unable to control the 'Frankenstein's monster' it created when it helped train terrorists to infiltrate and fight against Indian rule in the disputed Kashmir region." Taseer's assassination indicates that is true now more than ever before.
It's a long history that brings Pakistan to this moment. In 1947, Pakistan was born out of the independence of India from the British. For 30 years it experienced a mostly moderate expression of Islam. In 1977, however, General Zia ul-Haq took over Pakistan and brought an Islamist revolution to the country, including support for the nation's blasphemy laws. To counter the 1979 Shia revolution in Iran, the hard-line Sunni government of Saudi Arabia pumped millions of dollars into Pakistan, turning it into a proxy state for its rigid, fundamentalist interpretation of Islam. The Islamic fervor fueled the mujahideen who battled against the Soviet Union with U.S. covert aid when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979. With the 1989 withdrawal of the Soviets from Afghanistan, the Pakistani military and its intelligence unit, the Inter-Services Intelligence directorate or ISI, redirected the Islamist fervor for jihad in the 1990s into the creation of militant organizations with their eyes set on liberating Kashmir from Pakistan's enemy, India.
The home base for these groups: the province of Punjab, the military, religious and cultural heartland of the country.
Taseer's alleged assassin, Qadri, was born in 1984 or 1985 outside Islamabad in the Punjab province, according to Pakistani media. Qadri grew up during the rising tide of militancy, becoming a member of Punjab's elite force commandos. He had some telltale physical signs of a rigid practitioner of Islam. At such a young age, he had a darkened spot on his forehead, usually a sign of piety from a lifetime of praying and touching your forehead to the ground. (It took my father, 75, a lifetime of praying to get that spot.) Hardcore youth sometimes rub rocks on their foreheads to get that mark at a young age. Qadri also had a beard of the length worn by practitioners of hardline interpretations of Islam — not that all are violent, of course, but it can be an indicator. In handcuffs, he smiled happily at his achievement.
A Facebook page went up hours after the assassination with messages of support for Qadri. One message: "nation hero u win a hearts of All muslim umaah……..Saluteeeee You……..!!!!" ("Umaah" is a reference to "ummah," or "community.") It's not clear if the assassin was directly linked to any militant groups, but his sympathies most certainly would have been with them.
It's an even more alarming testimony about the spread of militancy in Pakistan that Qadri is believed to be Barelvi and it is Barelvi religious leaders who are telling Pakistanis not to pray for Taseer. The Barelvis have traditionally had a more Sufi, moderate interpretation of Islam than the Deobandis. When Danny was kidnapped in 2002, a Pakistani police officer didn't believe that the man Danny was supposed to meet, Sheik Mubarak Ali Shah Gilani, could have entrapped him, because he said, "He's Barelvi." The descent of Barelvi practitioners into militancy is frightening.
In the decades since militancy took root in the nation, Pakistan has mostly refused to admit the extent of the dangers of the Punjabi militants, as Taseer bravely did. This summer, Taseer accused leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-N political party, run by former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, of having ties with the "Tehrik-i-Taliban Punjab." Sharif, a native of Punjab, considers the province his base.
Around that time, Interior Minister Rehman Malik denied he had accused the Punjabi Taliban of involvement in the attacks that month on two mosques in Lahore where members of the minority Ahmadi sect prayed. He denied he alleged that the provincial Punjab government was linked to the Punjabi Taliban. "I have never used a terminology which reflects provincialism, but people know with which names terrorists are being recognized. One can see these names on the internet and in national dailies," Pakistani media quoted Malik as saying.
In fact, Pakistani media quoted him talking about the "Punjabi Taliban," and earlier, Rehman had said the Punjabi Taliban support the TTP. Malik specifically identified Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, one of the militant organizations that falls under the umbrella of the Pakistani Taliban. It took responsibility for the attacks, as well as earlier attacks on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore in 2009 and the Punjab police headquarters in the city of Manawa, as well as other attacks. As our Pearl Project report will show, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi was intricately involved in Danny's kidnapping.
To be sure, Pakistan faces domestic political backlash if it attacks the militant organizations too aggressively because they have some support among the population. In a Pew survey, released just as Taseer and his fellow politicians debated whether the Punjabi Taliban even exist, Pakistani citizens said they increasingly view terrorism as a significant problem. But they said they have become "less concerned" that extremists might take control of the country. Just 51 percent said they are concerned about an extremist takeover. Who were they most threatened by? India. Shockingly considering that the survey was taken in urban centers, 76 percent of those surveyed said that there should be a death penalty for people who leave Islam, and 82 percent believed in "stoning adulterers."
The fact that Taseer's killer came from his security detail is troubling, but not surprising, because of a wider phenomenon: much of Pakistan's military and intelligence rank-and-file and officers come from the province of Punjab, and there has been growing concern among analysts about the influence of militancy on recruits and about the growing reach of the Punjabi militants.
As a politician, Taseer was courageous in speaking the truth about the enemy that is the Punjabi Taliban. It's long overdue for more of Pakistan's politicians to wake up to the country's homegrown terrorist problem. If they don't, Frankenstein's monster will destroy its creator — the nation of Pakistan.

A simple how-to:
You start in the top left, and your goal is to make the whole board one color. When you change the color of the tile in the top left (by clicking one of the color buttons), it changes all tiles adjacent to it, and all tiles adjacent to those, etc into the same color.

Loved it!
How about a way to restart instead of having to close the program and reopening it? Or did I miss something?
Does it always say "You've lost already"? Or am I that bad at it lol.
Another thing, if you press a color before the last color is done with its conversion wipe then it has some interesting effects, not sure if this is intended behavior or not.
I like games like this, its got good potential for a fun casual game.
It only does that after 20 moves. It was really rushed, I apologize -- it was a game in a day thing. I do plan on updating it as soon as I can figure out an algorithm to generate this puzzle.
I do have a lot of features planned though! It'll just be a while.
When I started it up, the window was off-screen. I got it to be on my screen, because the right-edge of the window was on the left-edge of my screen, and I happened to notice it there.
Not sure why that happened.
Anyways, the gameplay was pretty interesting. I've never seen this concept before.
EDIT: It consistently puts the window off-screen when I start the game. (Right edge of window at left-edge of screen, as mentioned previously.)
It seems like this issue is normal for people. I think I have a vague idea of what I can do to solve it.

This happens to me too. It seems the only way I can fix it is to right click it on my task bar and hit maximize.
Very fun! I wish it wasn't so easy to lose though. =P
a "# of moves left" counter and a difficulty setting and this game is instantly in my book of awesome time-waster puzzles. It's more fun than Sudoku.

There actually is a difficulty setting, I just have it set manually for the time being. I can look into adding the moves left counter when I end up updating it again (I'm going to try to figure out an algorithm to make a puzzle always solvable in x moves, then I plan to update it again).
[edit for my own reference: there's currently a bug where if you start another colored move before the previous one finishes, it doesn't transition properly]

Strong Interior Cigarette Smell
Strong Interior Cigarette Smell
Are you sure you are not driving a Fisker?
(Sorry, I couldn't resist)
Hallucination? Have you had anyone else check, without telling them what to sniff for (power of suggestion effect)?
I hesitate to suggest it; a butt dropped in the bodywork somewhere during servicing? When was the car last 'opened up'.
Corr: " ... the car last 'opened up'? "
Yeah, that was a comment on Lotus' manufacturing practices. But that would be just after being bought, not something that arose suddenly (strongly) later. I suspect an errant part-smoked butt (or two). They can really smell, especially if damp.
This happened to me in my Roadster a while back, months after I took ownership. I took it in to Tesla service. They found some tobacco/cigar material in the air ducts. They used a claw to pull them out from the front grill (they gave me what they pulled out in a zip lock bag, which I still have). The car has been fine ever since.
Best guess is that somehow someone's cigar was busted up on the road and I ran over it, with some of the leaf material getting sucked in. At any rate, we know now there is no cabin air filter in the Roadster.
Air filters rarely stop smells, just particles. The molecules needed to get sense of smell is surprisingly small even for humans (for some smells anyway) and if there is memory feedback associated it can just get worse.
i know exactly the problem: a guy in front of me was throwing the rest of his cigarette out of his car, the cigarette jumped slightly up and ended directly in my front air duct. the smell get instantly quite strong. at home i found the cigarette filter (and a second one). in autumn it's also quite bad with tree leafes. the older roadsters have grills which work much better. #694

It seems that this is a week of covers. This time, however, it is the moment of the King himself, because yesterday on Stephen King's official message board the hardcover dust jacket of the Scribner edition of the anticipated "11/22/63" was revealed. The design is created by Rex Bonomelli and looks marvelous. A perfect companion for one of the novels I am eagerly looking forward to read this year. Stephen King's "11/22/63" is another massive volume, close to 1000 pages, but there are plenty of reasons for me to put his novel on My Most Wanted list of books. To be brief and not to enumerate all the reasons why I am waiting for 8th of November, the release date of Stephen King's "11/22/63", I show you only two of them, the one you see above and the one I post below :)
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? Stephen King's heart-stoppingly dramatic new novel is about a man who travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination - a thousand page tour de force.
Following his massively successful novel Under the Dome, King sweeps readers back in time to another moment - a real life moment - when everything went wrong: the JFK assassination. And he introduces readers to a character who has the power to change the course of history.
Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students - a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunning's father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk.
Not much later, Jake's friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane - and insanely possible - mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake's new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake's life - a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.
A tribute to a simpler era and a devastating exercise in escalating suspense, 11/22/63 is Stephen King at his epic best.

Copying of employer computer files central to trade secrets claim
Mobile Mark, Inc. v. Pakosz, 2011 WL 3898032 (N.D.Ill. September 6, 2011)
Defendant used to work for plaintiff. Before he left that organization to work for a competitor, he allegedly accessed plaintiff's computer system and copied proprietary information to a laptop that plaintiff had loaned him. He then allegedly transferred the proprietary data to a number of external storage devices, and then installed and repeatedly ran a "Window Washer" program on the laptop to delete files and other data in order to conceal his activities.
Plaintiff sued, putting forth several claims, including a claim of misappropriation of trade secrets under the Illinois Trade Secrets Act, 765 ILCS 1065/2. Defendant moved to dismiss. The court denied the motion.
One of the bases for plaintiff's trade secret misappropriation claim was that defendant, by going to work for a competitor, would inevitably disclose the proprietary information he had obtained while working for plaintiff. Looking to Illinois law, the court noted that "[i]nevitable disclosure is not assumed when an employee has general information in his head as a result of working for a company." But "where evidence exists that the employee copied the employer's confidential information, it leads to the conclusion of inevitable disclosure."

Ari Ashe, wtop.com
SILVER SPRING, Md. – As Maryland roads get more congested, a new report finds inadequate roads are costing $6.2 billion annually in operating costs, lost time in traffic and wasted fuel.
The report, "Maryland Transportation by the Numbers: Meeting the State's Need for Safe and Efficient Mobility," is from TRIP, a national transportation research group.
"We find the average D.C.-area driver loses about $2,200 each year from roads that are deteriorated, congested and not as safe as they could be," says Carolyn Bonifas Kelly, a researcher at TRIP.
"People don't realize that's money coming directly out of your wallet."
Of the $2,200, congestion itself costs drivers about $1,400 per year, when calculating lost time and wasted fuel.
A 2012 Texas Transportation Institute study found local drivers spend 67 hours stuck in traffic each year, or more than one full week of work.
TRIP also finds that while 44 percent of Maryland's major roads are in good condition, 41 percent are in poor or mediocre condition.
TRIP Report by
"It's something you definitely notice as you're driving over. You can feel your vehicle shaking and vibrating. You can feel the potholes you roll over. In most cases, poor roads need to be replaced," says Kelly.
Inadequate roads cost the average Maryland driver about $600 dollars in vehicle operating costs, such as car repairs, wasted fuel and increase and unnecessary wear on tires, the report finds.
"Maryland has not been able to find the funding to keep pace with the needed improvements on the roads. As a result, drivers are on a system that's increasingly congested and not as safe as it could be," says Kelly.
On Maryland bridges, TRIP finds that about a quarter are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
"Structurally deficient means that there's significant deterioration to major parts, like the bridge deck or the supports. Functionally obsolete are bridges that don't meet modern design standards, either because the lanes are too narrow or it cannot handle current capacity," says Kelly.
The bridges are structurally safe, she says, but would benefit from repair or replacement in the near future.
Although the report doesn't specify what bridges were studied, the Maryland Transportation Authority has spent years preserving, repairing and replacing parts of the Bay Bridge decks, cables and other major components.
In addition, a six year study completed late last year outlined a plan to replace the Harry Nice Bridge connecting Charles County in Maryland and King George County in Virginia in order to increase capacity.
TRIP hopes this report will serve as another call to Maryland lawmakers in Annapolis to pass a transportation funding package, which could help improve roads and bridges, ease congestion and support economic growth.

Kickin' It With The Girls
The Ladies Who Make Our World Go Around
What's not to like about the mud life? Trucks, buggies, ATVs, big horsepower, racing, swamping, girls, music, parties . . . It's difficult to tell you how much we love every aspect of the lifestyle because it's such a big part of all our lives. When it comes to the ladies in our little mud universe we have nothing but respect and admiration for them. There's just something about a girl who isn't afraid to slog hip-deep through the mud so she can climb up and into a truck bed, hook a recovery rope to a stuck truck in deep black mud, or wrestle her best friends for a fun queen-of-the-pit competition. Heck, we don't have to tell you how cool it is to watch a fun-lovin' country girl letting loose and throwing down with the best hard-charging partiers, or smoking black rubber in a tugfest.
Over the years we have met some incredibly beautiful and talented women. The respect we have for the female truck owners, drivers, racers, helpers, and partiers can't be beat. We have to laugh every time we see a guy sitting in his truck turnin' the key while his lady is under the hood getting it started!

TOKYO (Reuters) - The Japanese unit of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services was reprimanded by the financial regulator on Friday for mistakes in setting and publishing credit ratings on complex financial derivatives.
Japan's Financial Services Agency ordered Standard & Poor's Ratings Japan K.K. to improve its operations after finding it had failed to account for losses on underlying assets referenced in so-called synthetic collateralized debt obligations (CDO).
The FSA said S&P also published press releases with incorrect information on ratings, including one in which it mistakenly assigned to one of the companies under its coverage the short-term rating of that company's affiliate.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Japan said in a statement it has already prepared preventive measures to strengthen its compliance.
"We take this matter very seriously and sincerely apologize to clients and market participants for the issues that led to the recommendation and order," S&P Japan said.
Synthetic CDOs are complex derivatives composed of a portfolio of credit default swaps and have been blamed for exacerbating the 2008 global financial crisis.

else {

where getitem.items is previously process method that I have to call which I assigned to item, r is the number of recipients, recipientNum was determined by this:
LinkedList<String>[] recipientNum = new LinkedList[r];
for (int z=0; z<r; z++){
recipientNum[z] = new LinkedList<String>();
System.out.println ("recipientNum[" + z + "]");
return recipientNum;
I have this error when trying to code:

Why do I get these errors? Thank you in advance for your help guys ..

FEMA has provided $250 million in aid in response to Sandy.
This story has been updated.
The federal government continued to boost its support this week to areas devastated by Superstorm Sandy, even as it braced for another storm on Wednesday.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has provided more than $250 million in assistance to 277,000 individuals for housing and other disaster-related needs, the agency said.
FEMA also has increased its rental subsidy for those displaced by Sandy. It temporarily increased by 25 percent the Housing and Urban Development Department's fair market rate -- the amount of financial assistance the government provides to disaster victims to pay for "shelter and all other tenant-paid utilities except telephone, cable and Internet service."
FEMA has put boots on the ground to knock on doors in affected regions to inform victims of the assistance opportunities available to them.
On Monday, FEMA Director Craig Fugate and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano visited New York City to tour the damage and review ongoing recovery efforts with local leaders. FEMA is part of the Homeland Security Department.
On Election Day Tuesday, FEMA coordinated with local and state governments to evaluate on a case-by-case basis whether federal resources could assist in obtaining new polling facilities or provide emergency power, the agency said.
As FEMA continued to deal with Sandy's aftermath, it also was responding to a nor'easter storm that has hit much of the same region struck by Sandy.
"We have senior-level emergency management experts in operations, logistics and recovery embedded side by side with state and local emergency managers throughout New York and New Jersey to ensure clear lines of communication and immediately bring to bear the full resources of the federal government, as needed to respond to the nor'easter or continue to the recovery efforts from Sandy," FEMA said in a statement.
Among federal resources is the Agriculture Department, which has restored power to more than 130,000 rural customers on USDA-financed systems affected by Sandy.
Additional agencies contributing to recovery efforts include the Army Corps of Engineers, which has sent more than 600 personnel to assist in cleanup; the National Guard, which has deployed more than 7,600 personnel in the affected region; the Transportation Department, which has made $29 million in emergency funds available to restore damage; and the Health and Human Services Department, which has sent more than 1,000 personnel as part of 15 disaster medical assistance teams.

I haven't done a lot with chalkboard paint because it's kind of a craft trend. I try to avoid blogging craft trends since they're hard to make original and also they kill everything. I never, ever in my wildest dreams thought I could be annoyed by nutella. I'm pretty sure I subsided on it for the entirety of every Euro Adventure I've had.
And yet... when (another) recipe comes down the line on Pinterest that (oh! what a shock!) features nutella... my stomach does an involuntary turn.
However, my mom bought me this super cute pink chalkboard paint and I really like it. Plus, John has been asking me to create a meal plan organizer for MONTHS now. He really objects to my way of doing things, which is clearly superior.
It goes like this..
a) Realize we need to eat something for dinner.
b) Get an elaborate idea in my head.
c) Make a beeline for the grocery store.
d) See all sorts of other delicious items.
e) Leave with a $100's worth of groceries.
f) Repeat. The next day.
What?! So it's a *little* bit hard on the budget...
Ok, so the boy has a point.
Anyway- that's where this came from. I had an extra $3 frame leftover from my DIY photo wall and tons of yellow paint. That meant it was technically a free project, which is of course my favorite kind.
It was extremely easy, and if you buy Krylon Chalkboard Spray Paint you can paint the glass directly and get a better finished project. I can't do that because mine was in a jar. Most chalkboard paint that comes in a jar will only stick to porous surfaces.
That begin said, I used a piece of card stock which turned out surprisingly well? Two coats. It went like this...
(1) Cut it. I cut out a piece of card stock using the glass as a stencil.
(2) Paint it. I painted on 2 coats of the chalkboard paint to the card stock (allowing to dry for an hour in between) and 3 coats of yellow acrylic on to my frame.
(3) Flatten it. Once the card stock has dried, it'll curl up. So flatten in for 24 hours under some crazy heavy books. Coincidently, the chalkboard paint needs to cure for 24 hours, so it works out well.
(4) Finish it. Decorate the frame, add some embellishment to the chalkboard (I considered writing 'Menu' at the top in black chalkboard paint) ... whatever. Then stick it back in the frame (putting all backing materials in as well, including the glass if you didn't paint that) and hang it up! I only had giant sidewalk chalk, so the handwriting on my finished project is... entertaining. Also- I manhandled it while finishing the project, so half of the chalk got erased! Do forgive.
I can't wait to do this again with a much larger frame as another way of organizing. I'd like to write out what the week holds for la vie and make a list of necessary supplies, etc. Vive organization! What's your favorite way to organize? I need to hear it, because the smaller the space, the larger the need for organized living!
I hope you're having an awesome day, and as always, thanks for

1975 Chevy K10 Paint, Roll Cage & Accessories - 2005 Ultimate Adventure
Part 4: Paint, cage, and all the trimmings.

Ultimate K10, Part 4
The plan was to build a truck capable of driving anywhere in the country, to wheel the hardest trails we could find, and make it durable enough to blast back to L.A. to put it all in a magazine. For the last three years we've achieved that goal by starting with a brand-new Ultimate Adventure truck that could have driven across the country and back without any problem. Then we modified the heck out of them so that they could wheel with the best of 'em. Rather than try to outdo last year's incredible Tacoma, we wanted to see if we could build a worn-out old truck to do it all, just with less of the sticker shock.
We know we met at least the first half of our goal. The truck drove/ wheeled/drove 4,000 miles in 10 days. Our Ultimate K10 carried two guys with a week's supply of clothes, camping gear, and camera bags everywhere we went. We slept in it, ate in it - heck Editor Rick Pw even hung his hammock from it when we camped out for four days! And other than a transmission that had to get swapped out 'cause it never had Reverse, a rear locker that stopped locking, and some serious rock rash, it barely gave us any trouble.
Now, whether you consider it budget-built is really up to your wallet. Sure, your 4x4 might be able to take on all the trails we did without any problem. But could you drive it over 4,000 miles in the middle of the sweltering summer? Truth be told, of all the rigs that went on Ultimate Adventure this year, only two of them were never on a trailer: Tim Hardy's Ironman Samurai and our Ultimate K10. And sometimes the toughest part of the Ultimate Adventure is the ride home! So read through the captions and go back over the last three issues to judge for yourself how well we did. We tried to pinch every penny we could, but in the end we had to balance out our squeaky wallets with parts and pieces that would ensure our success. We think most of you would probably have done the same.
To guarantee that we wouldn't have any problems with the 30-year-old braking and steering systems on our K10, we decided to replace everything. Trust us, this is money well spent on a vehicle that will not only wheel, but drive down the highway at 75 mph next to some of you. We had GM Truck Center rebuild a two-wheel-drive GM truck steering box (for crossover steering) and then sent it off to West Texas Off-Road to have it drilled and tapped to control a 1 3/4-inch Red Neck hydraulic ram (Stage II kit). The box came back to us and was bolted into the K10 with a Borgeson Universal steering shaft that uses two precision U-joints (instead of rubber) to eliminate any slop in the steering.
In order to make room for our Sam's Offroad 1410 front driveshaft that would now be on the driver side of the K10 we needed to come up with a new shifter linkage. Stealing an idea from the street-rod world, we called up ididit and ordered its cable shift conversion kit for GM steering columns. Basically this kit lets you keep the stock column shifter in the cab, but does away with the problematic bell crank and rod shift linkage that GM used on these trucks. It takes some metalworking to install, but once in place it gives you smooth shifting no matter how twisted the body and frame get.
When dealing with a 30-year-old truck, you spend a lot of your budget dealing with parts that deteriorate from age. Case in point: Our body mounts were wasted and needed to be completely replaced. The upside to working with a truck like our K10 is that these parts are readily available from the aftermarket, and after one call to Daystar we had a new body mount kit on its way to GM Truck Center. Depending on how rusty your truck is, you may want to drill four 1/8-inch holes in the floor of the truck to spray the bolts with WD-40 or JB 80 before you make an upgrade like this.
With phase one of our buildup complete, we hauled the K10 up to Santa Rosa, California, to have Fabworx build us a four-point rollcage. We stripped everything out of the truck except the steering column and the back window to make things easier. There's not a lot of room in a regular-cab pickup for a full cage, so Fabworx's Bryan McCully and Forrest Moore began by bending up and fitting the 1 3/4-inch, 0.120-inch-wall DOM main hoop as tight to the back of the cab as possible. We wanted the cage welded right to the floor, so McCully and Moore cut out steel plates that will act as footings everywhere the cage attaches to the body. This structure will spread the loads out over a large area of the floor should the truck ever roll over.
In order to weld the rear diagonal and horizontal bars completely, Moore leaned the main hoop forward and tipped the halo hoop through where the windshield would have been to get to the backside of the joints. These 360-degree welds add strength and impress other fabricators who wonder if Fabworx cut the roof off the truck to do it.
In a serious rollover the cage could still punch through the floor of the cab, so a seat cage was built to mount our new Mastercraft Rubicon seats to. Now both occupants will be surrounded by the cage structure - even if the entire cab were to be ripped off the frame. The seat cage is also much better at coping with the weight of two 200-pound guys bouncing around on the trail than the sheetmetal floor ever was. If you're considering building your own seat cage (or even just new seat mounts), make sure you verify the seating position before you burn in the final welds.
While the cage was going in, we were hard at work on the truck's wiring and brake lines. Larry "Yodaman" Kitahara runs a shop in Santa Rosa specializing in Toyota 4x4s. He could tell we were in serious need of some help, so he volunteered his nights and a couple weekends to the cause. Next to rebuilding Toyota engines, Kitahara's specialty is electrical problems. Who better to blend our truck's original wiring with the new Ramjet harness? Thanks again, Larry!
Time was of the essence, so rather than try and rework the original 1975 stepside bed, we scored this 1985 version from one of Bryan McCully's buddies. KC Customs unbolted the fenders and tore out the rotted wooden floor so Brad Atkins of American Bead Blasting could strip the old paint and scale off of it. The rear fenders also needed to be reworked for tire clearance and departure angle. De La Montanya masked off the trick new bodyline and used his Hobart plasma cutter to carve it out without warping the entire piece. Then he pounded in a new 3/4-inch flange to give the piece some strength and prevent it from flexing.
With the fenders, bed, and hood on deck for the paint booth, KC Customs moved onto the cab - which would end up being the only part of the original body we reused! The rockers were cut off at the doorsill so they could be replaced with 2x4-inch, 1/4-inch-wall rectangular tubing that will act as our rock sliders.
KC Customs opted to get a set of reproduction doors for our truck locally ($100 each), because the originals had 15 pounds of Bondo in each of them and they still needed work. De La Montanya is laughing because even with a new set of GM door hinges (the old ones were beyond repair), the fit of the reproduction panels is horrendous and will need a lot of shimming to make the body lines match up.
The nicest piece of sheetmetal on the truck is the Reflexxion cowl induction hood. This all-steel hood is built to OEM-quality standards and is the only brand KC Customs uses because the craftsmanship is so good. Tom Burke is scuffing up the DuPont Imron 6000 paint De La Montanya laid down two days ago so that Bryan Kinney can lay out some of his famous flames and give our truck some personality.
We pulled a couple all-nighters at KC Customs so that De La Montanya could spray the entire cab inside and out with the bulletproof Imron paint. With Kinney's flames airbrushed on the hood and all of the bodywork back on the truck, it was back to GM Truck Center in Burbank to install the interior pieces, bed accessories, and fire the engine.
Up front we went with an Off Road Design bumper and winch-mount combo powdercoated by American Bead Blasting in Santa Rosa to fit our Warn 9.5ti winch and SDB-210HB lights. We decided to shoot the lower grille valance panel with some satin black paint to give the truck a more menacing look and make the turn signals more visible.
To keep our K10's Ramjet 350 running cool on our blasts across the Mojave Desert in 118-degree heat, we needed some major engine cooling. For the price, reliability, and ease of replacement, we went with a $110 three-core radiator from our local AutoZone. Most stores stock this (PN 433161), and it comes with a lifetime warranty. For better cooling at slow trail speeds we ditched the mechanical fan and went with Flex-a-lite's 27-inch electric deal (PN 295). It features twin 13 1/2-inch, high-power electric fans that cover the radiator core perfectly. We modified Flex-a-lite's upper bracket to bolt the fan assembly to our original upper radiator mount, and then moved the side mounts to the threaded inserts in the bottom of the fan so we could secure it to the truck's lower radiator support. Wiring was as simple as installing the fan controller to the fan's shroud and running power through the supplied fuse, a ground to the battery, and a switched positive lead through the ignition.
With less than 24 hours till our departure, Henrik Hairapetian rallied his GM Truck Center team for another all-night work party. His guys wired and plumbed the ARB compressor to control the lockers, installed dual Optima YellowTop batteries, and plumbed all of the hydro-boost brake and power-steering lines.
The UA K10 uses Tuff Country's proven 4-inch heavy-duty leaf springs up front with a set of SX8000 gas shocks. We then added a set of Off Road Design heavy-duty shackles and a greasable bushing kit to really let our springs twist. To eliminate any harshness in the suspension when it bottoms out, we bolted on Daystar's foam bumpstops (PN KU09039). With such a mild suspension lift we choose to run Sam's Offroad 1410 extreme-travel driveshafts front and rear without a CV to save money and increase strength.
In the rear we used a set of 1988-1998 1/2-ton Chevy truck springs that we got from the Yodaman in Santa Rosa, California. With Off Road Design's 2-inch shackle flip kit and its prototype heavy-duty shackles, our truck sits 3/4 inch higher, and the rear rides well and has very little axlewrap. You'll also notice the dual 2 1/2-inch exhaust system that Greg Gallegos of Flowmaster artfully tucked up between our framerails while we were in Santa Rosa. For a quiet cruise that would still have the Flowmaster performance sound, we opted for a pair of 50 Series SUV mufflers with an H-pipe that crosses behind the transfer case. To finish off the look we added a pair of polished Flowmaster tips.
You'll see our UA K10 in action as part of our 2005 Ultimate Adventure. But now that we have some seat time in the truck, we've got some fine-tuning to do, one or two repairs to make, and a few things we'd like to just downright change. We tried to stay true to our budget-built theme, but the reality is that there are only so many corners you can cut and still do what we've done with this machine. If you have some ideas on how we could make it better, an idea for something you wished we'd done different, or are trying to figure out how you can build your Chevy like ours, drop us an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. We'd love to hear from you.
