Jennifer Garza, a journalist with boundless curiosity about life and deep faith in God who found her calling as a features and religion reporter for The Bee, died Monday of cancer. She was 50.
Mrs. Garza joined The Bee in 1991 as a features writer with a sharp eye for news, an immense knowledge of pop culture and a genuine interest in people and their lives.
She wrote about lifestyle issues that connected with readers and persuaded editors to start The Bee's popular book club as a way to reach diverse groups in the community.
A devout Catholic who attended Mass daily, she blended her personal and professional interests as The Bee's religion reporter for more than a decade.
She covered spiritual leaders and followers, wrote about religious traditions and explored new trends, including the growth of mega-churches in the Sacramento region.
"When writing about religion, she was able to get beyond the theoretical level and write about it as real life," Catholic Bishop Emeritus William K. Weigand said. "Her stories came across as human and authentic and meaningful in the lives of people she was writing about and the lives of readers."
Mrs. Garza's stories were among the mostly widely read and discussed on The Bee's website. Although she often reported on controversial subjects including same-sex marriage and sexual abuse by clergy she was widely respected as a fair, knowledgeable and sensitive reporter.
"She always went the extra mile to understand and report the truth about religious issues," said founder Metwalli Amer of the Sacramento Area League of Associated Muslims. "She wrote about people and their faith with objectivity, accuracy and a personal touch that really interested people."
Mrs. Garza wrote with compassion about people and their spirituality. In 2005, she wrote a series of stories about Weigand and Dan Haverty, a Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District assistant chief who donated most of his liver to save the bishop from a terminal disease.
The series, published at Christmas and called "The Gift," won the national Wilbur Award in 2006 from the Religion Communicators Council and first place in the Health and Fitness category at the 2007 Missouri Lifestyle Journalism Awards.
In 2008, Mrs. Garza won the Wilbur Award again for "Lifetime Calling," a series of stories that focused on the Rev. Uriel Ojeda's first six months as a priest in the Catholic Diocese of Sacramento. The series also won the Excellence in Journalism award from the Northern California Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.
Ojeda, who went on to serve as a parish priest, is now awaiting trial on charges of child molestation in Woodland and Redding.
Jennifer Bojorquez was born in 1962 in San Jose to a home-remodeling contractor and a stay-at-home mom.
The second of five daughters, she started writing stories in first grade and grew up with a lifelong commitment to family and faith.
She graduated from Branham High School in San Jose and enrolled at San Jose State University. She worked as an intern and met news photographer Mike Garza at a local TV station.
They married in 1983 and moved to Sacramento, where she earned a journalism degree from California State University, Sacramento. She had twin sons with her husband, who is a Channel 10 (KXTV) news photographer.
Mrs. Garza was a woman of tremendous faith in God and loyalty to family and friends. Unlike many in her tough profession, she never lost her sense of compassion for others and optimism about life.
She blushed at salty language and responded to newsroom jokes with gleeful laughter that pierced the buzz of ringing phones and conversations.
A voracious reader, she kept up with current events in major newspapers and spent hours at home "with everything from People magazine to Shakespeare," her husband said. She was a sports fan who grew up watching boxing with her father and enjoyed tennis on TV. She knew the top box-office movies each week and enjoyed popular TV shows, especially the Fox thriller series "24."
"Every week after an episode aired, she'd stop by my desk to talk over the new cliffhangers: 'How do you think Jack's going to get out of that?' " Bee copy editor Kathy Morrison said. "Funny coming from the religion writer, but she had so many facets."
Jennifer Garza
Born: Feb. 1, 1962
Died: Dec. 10, 2012
Survived by: Husband, Mike Garza of Sacramento; sons, David and Aaron Garza, both of Sacramento; parents, Edward and Dolores Bojorquez of San Jose; sisters, Cynthia Bojorquez, Yvette Rodriguez, Yvonne Adamson and Melinda Bojorquez, all of San Jose
Services: Funeral Mass, 10 a.m. Saturday at St. Anthony Catholic Church, 660 Florin Road, Sacramento

Our thoughts are with Justin Moore and his crew, and the family of the man involved in a crash today. One man lost his life after an accident with one of Justin's tour buses. Justin broke the devastating news earlier today on Twitter:
@JustinColeMoore: Thankful my band and crew guys are all good. They got hit by a car this morning in their bus. Prayers go out to the guy who lost his life.
Justin followed the Tweet up with a sobering second one.
@JustinColeMoore: And his family. You never know man. You have to be prepared to meet God today, cause it may be your last.
There's no other information available at this time. Justin and his crew escaped without injury.

by ABC6 Chief Political Reporter Mark Curtis
It could be "last call" for the Central Coventry Fire Department.
In court Tuesday, a grim picture was painted of the Fire District's finances.
It's estimated the department will need 7 million dollars to operate next year, but may only collect 5–point–5 million in taxes.
"We're probably running off, a million dollars total, to pay the debt," said Fred Gralinski, Chairman of the Central Coventry Fire District Board of Directors.
ABC6 Reporter Mark Curtis asked, "Is this department going to be able to survive?"
Chairman Gralinski responded, "It may not! It may not."
ABC6 Chief Political Reporter Mark Curtis said, "Right now the Central Coventry Fire District has a little over a half–million dollars in the bank; that's only enough to keep the department open, another five weeks."
The Judge told the firefighters union and the district they need to seriously negotiate.
"With the current contracts, agreements and long term debt, there is not enough money to sustain the district," said Superior Court Judge Brian Stern.
Complicating the situation, firefighters came to court seeking a half–million dollars in back pay and benefits they are owed from previous concessions.
"The firefighters claim we are owed that money. It was an agreement; we shook hands on it; the paper was inked; and we believe we are still owed that money," said Captain David Gorman of the Firefighters Union.
But the Judge declined to order that payback, just yet.
"Well if we paid them today, it would effectively shut down the district. The amount of money they are seeking is approximately what we have the bank," said Fire District Special Master Richard Land.
A new financial analysis - obtained by ABC6 News -shows unless there is a combination of big taxes increases, and major union concessions, the department won't survive.

ROTHSCHILD, Wis. (WSAU) -- U.S Senator Tammy Baldwin wants the federal government to make some changes affecting the paper industry and the postal service.
One of the things she questions is why only the U.S. Postal Service can place letters and packages in a mailbox. "Part of the postal service business is a competitive business with UPS and Federal Express in regard to boxes and parcels, but in regard to the mailbox and letters being delivered to the mailbox, they have a monopoly." Baldwin says USPS needs more oversight and attention owing to the nature of their work. The Senator says it's important for her office to keep an eye on the mail service, and support changes that help keep a traditional mail service viable because it affects several parts of the economy. "Wisconsin's economy, especially because of its timber resources and paper making and mailing industries, really has its fortunes very much intertwined with the health of the Postal Service."
The Senator is critical of the U.S. Postal Service with their rate increases and certain business practices. Baldwin says the government needs to do more to keep a watch on what the Postal Service is doing in regards to letters and mail delivered to your home. "They should behave more like a business in the competitive part of their business, but they should be well regulated and effectively overseen in the monopoly part of their business."
While at Domtar, Senator Baldwin also said it's time to light a fire under Congress to make significant changes in how national forests are managed. Baldwin says there's been too much attention put on fighting fires in national parks and not enough effort into fire prevention and forest maintenance by proper harvesting. "As long as this continues, we're going to fall further and further behind in the management of our forests and producing healthy forests that have a better prospect of avoiding forest fires if you think about it. It can spiral out of control if we don't intervene."
(You can listen to our interview with Senator Tammy Baldwin on our website, here.)

Keynote Presentation - Make My Life Easier: What he 21st Century Customer Really Wants
Presenter: Warren Greshes
In today's highly competitive economy most products are the same, and the prices are similar. The people are the only thing that differentiates one company from another. Because of that it is no longer good enough to just be a salesperson; there is too much competition for you to be someone who is just pushing product and price. In order to be successful in today's marketplace you need to be an expert, advisor, resource and single point of contact to your customers.
In this high-energy, humorous but informative Keynote speech, Warren Greshes discusses the specific attitudes and skills the 21st century businessperson will need to differentiate themselves from the competition, create the kind of value the 21st century customer is looking for and succeed in a highly competitive environment.

Transparent Desktop Screens
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop
It's always great to see what some free time, creativity, a notebook, and a digital camera can do. The results are illusions of transparent desktops on various notebooks. At first you might say, "Ah, that's easy" (much like I said at first) – boy was I wrong. These are harder to accomplish then it seems. You must first get the right angle with your camera, take the shot, upload it, set it as your desktop and adjust the screen to match. Seems pretty simple, right? Try it out for yourself and let us know how the result came out.

Top Analyst Calls Worth Noting For Monday
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
An analyst's call can be a major catalyst for movement in a stock. In the past I have written in detail about such subjects, as a call can often create a domino effect of revised outlooks and either buying or selling of a stock. In this piece I am looking at four stocks that traded with excessive volatility thanks to the notes issued by analysts; these are all calls worth noting.
Global Power Equipment
An article in Barron's reports that Global Power Equipment could see a boost in its operations and that the company's large backlog could provide investors with a total return exceeding 20% within a year. Barron's believes that the company's Braden gas turbine was negatively impacted by a less profitable product mix and higher expenses, and that the company could now see profit margins rebound from a weak Q3.
The stock is currently trading higher by 1.5%, after an initial pop of more than 7.5%. If Barron's is correct then it would be a major turnaround for the company, as this is a company that needs significant margin growth to excite investors. With the stock currently trading higher by just 1.5%, this news might be worth exploring, however with a 7.5% premium, I wouldn't touch it. Therefore, this is a scenario based on price and performance. I would only buy if the stock remains cheap.
Southwestern Energy
Due to assets that can produce strong returns, double digit production growth, and better cash flow than in recent years, Goldman Sachs has added Southwestern Energy to its conviction buy list. This is a company that a lot of people feel good about. However, the stock trades with a price/sales of 4.29 and a forward P/E ratio of 17.66. It has weak margins and there are some who believe that production will not meet expectations. As a result, I would sit on this one. It rose 2.7% on the report and I believe it may now be too expensive.
F5 Networks
The boutique research firm Off Wall Street is expecting a significant decline from F5 Networks over the next year, with its $70 price target and their "Sell" rating. The stock is now trading lower by almost 6% as the firm questions the partnership between FFIV and Websense. The partnership is intended to develop enterprise security architecture however Off Wall Street does not think it will materialize.
While this is possible, yet hard to determine, I suggest assessing the company based on its fundamentals and not whether or not the partnership will be successful. This is a company that continues to produce double digit growth, has operating margins of more than 20%, and operates in a growing space. Therefore, with a forward P/E ratio of 16.50 I find it hard to suggest that it's such a strong "sell."
Universal Display Corporation
Shares of semiconductor company Universal Display fell 10% on bearish notes by Piper Jaffray as the firm lowered its price target to $16 on the stock. The reason for the downgrade was checks made by the firm regarding the company's green emitter product. According to Piper, the company's green emitter will be used in the Samsung Galaxy S4 device, but that another company's product will also be used. The firm noted that checks were performed, however with the stock having a price/sales of more than 20.00, it shows investors how quickly a stock this expensive can reverse with bad news and or rumors. As a result, I wouldn't touch the stock, despite today's loss.
In my book, Taking Charge With Value Investing (McGraw-Hill), I examine human behavior and the psychological effects that take place in the minds of investors when a stock shoots higher or falls drastically lower (think roulette at a casino). For many investors, chasing these trends is common, even addicting, and very few are capable of realizing their losses because of their occasional gain. Investors need to avoid this behavior, and not look at the performance and then the news, but rather assess the valuation of a stock and then take into consideration the opinions of the analyst. By doing so, you will be able to find the inconsistencies and a distinction between performance and fundamentals, which creates value and allows for large returns.

Riding the Cable Car Lines
There are three different cable car lines that operate in San Francisco, The Powell-Mason, Powell-Hyde, and California Street lines. Following is a brief description of the routes of each line and their inbound destinations.
The Powell-Hyde & Powell-Mason Lines
Two of San Francisco's three cable car lines connect downtown with Fisherman's Wharf. The Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde lines begin their inbound runs at the most-photographed cable car turntable, where Powell meets Market Street.
David Dugan photo.
When you're on an inbound Powell car, watch the gripman as you approach California Street. Because the California Street cable crosses above the Powell cable, the Powell cable must be dropped lest it slice the California cable in half, and the cable car must coast across the intersection. The cable car gripman must "drop the rope" precisely as the Powell car crests the hill, or the car will lose its momentum and slide backwards to Pine Street. It's probably the trickiest maneuver a grip has to execute on the system.
Once California Street has been crossed, gravity takes over and the Powell cars coast downhill, off the cable, for three and a half blocks until the tracks split between Washington and Jackson Streets. There, cars on each respective line pick up a separate cable to continue their trips to different parts of Fisherman's Wharf. This is also a good place to get off to explore Chinatown by walking downhill to Stockton Street and Grant Avenue.
Powell-Mason Line
Powell-Mason cars continue one block up Jackson, then lurch right onto Mason Street (the Cable Car Museum is a block away, at Mason & Washington), which they follow along the eastern shoulder of Russian Hill into North Beach (get off at Union Street to enter the heart of North Beach at Washington Square). After a short jaunt down Columbus Avenue—the diagonal 'main drag' of North Beach—the Powell-Mason cars swing onto Taylor Street to their final destination at the Bay & Taylor turntable.
Since opening in 1888, the Powell-Mason line has run the exact same route with the same type of equipment and propulsion—that's longer than any other transit line in the world. When the line opened, Bay Street was, well…where the bay began. But subsequent landfill means you have to get off and walk three blocks farther on Taylor to reach Restaurant Row, at the heart of Fisherman's Wharf, where the fishing fleet is docked along Jefferson Street. (On the way, you'll cross the rails of the historic F-line streetcars that run back toward downtown along Beach Street to The Embarcadero). This is also the cable car line which brings you nearest to Pier 39.
The Powell-Hyde line
From where the two Powell Street lines split between Washington and Jackson, Powell-Hyde cars parallel the Powell-Mason cars for one block on Jackson Street, on an unusual 'gauntlet' track (two slots and two outer rails, with a single shared center rail.) It's an ingenious solution to the requirement to accommodate separate cables pulling the two lines uphill on that narrow block. At the end of that block, Hyde cars "drop the rope" again as they cross the track that returns the Mason line to Powell from the Wharf. Hyde cars then retake the cable and climb past the cable car barn and powerhouse (home to the Cable Car Museum) for half a block.
All three cable car lines use this track to 'pull in' at the end of the shift. It's a sight worth watching. The car pulls past the pull-in switch, the gripman drops the cable, yanks on the brakes hard while the conductor jumps off and leans on the switch lever. The brakes come off and the car rockets backwards into the barn—without passengers, of course—where it is flipped around on a turntable and pushed by a small tractor onto a storage track.
Once past the car barn, the Powell-Hyde cars continue across Taylor, Jones, and Leavenworth until they reach Hyde Street.
Until 1957, cable cars on this route continued west on Jackson another eleven blocks into the heart of tony Pacific Heights, terminating at Alta Plaza Park on Steiner Street, then returning via Washington Street. But in the 'rationalization' of the cable car system [see cable car history], the old Washington-Jackson line was cut back and connected with the outer end of the old O'Farrell, Jones, and Hyde line, which started operations in 1891. But since the Powell-Hyde line has now been in operation close to half a century, it's probably time to consider it historic in its own right.
Many riders consider the thirteen-block stretch on Hyde Street to be the most scenic and exciting part of the entire cable car system. The Powell-Hyde cars run through the colorful neighborhood of Russian Hill, passing restaurants, shops, venerable apartment buildings, and homes along the way. At Lombard Street, Wharf-bound cars pause while riders gawk at the 'Crookedest Street in the World'. The cars aren't making a photo stop, however: roadside signals tell the crew when it's safe to descend the steepest grade in the cable car system—a harrowing 21 percent slope—a loooonng two blocks from Chestnut to Bay Street, while riders drink in a soaring vista of Alcatraz, Angel Island, Mount Tamalpais, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Richard Panse photo.
The return trip on Hyde departs from the turntable tucked inside Victorian Park, now part of the larger Aquatic Park. Many assume the turntable is very old, but actually, the old O'Farrell, Jones & Hyde line used double-end cars and a switchback, so there was no turntable at all until 1957, when one was constructed for the single-end Powell type cars in what was then a neglected vacant lot. The park around the turntable came later. The entire turntable area was reconstructed and somewhat altered when the cable car system was rebuilt in 1982-84.
California Street line
The California Street cable car line provides a genteel counterpoint to the bustling Powell Street lines.
On any given trip, you'll find far more San Franciscans on board than you see on Powell cars—often a majority of riders are locals, commuting to and from work. That's because Cal Cable comes nowhere near the tourist magnet of Fisherman's Wharf.
Most visiting riders start at the east end of the line, two blocks from the Ferry Building at the three-way intersection of California, Drumm, & Market Streets. It's easy to reach from the F-line historic streetcars (Main/Drumm stop), or from the BART/Muni Metro Embarcadero station.
For the first five blocks, Cal cars take you through the deep canyon of lower California Street, where the cable car looks out of place against the high-rises of the Financial District. Even here, though, there are pieces of the past, such as the Tadich Grill on California near Battery—the oldest restaurant in California, and still a hopping experience. The street is flat until the Cal cars reach Montgomery in the shadow of the 52-story Bank of America building. Up to this point, the ride is relatively tame (some might say boring), but beginning at Kearny Street, things get interesting.
Two blocks north on Kearny is Portsmouth Square, where the American flag was first raised over California in 1846 (when San Francisco was still called Yerba Buena). It's now the green heart of Chinatown, one of the best places in the city for people watching. One more steep block up California and the Cal cars reach Grant Avenue, the main street through Chinatown. Walk in either direction from this stop and you're immediately in the middle of it all. Old St. Mary's Church is a long-time landmark on the corner.
Two more steep blocks, and the Cal cars arrive at Powell Street, where all three cable car lines intersect. With the exception of early morning and late evening, it's tough to get a space on a Powell car going to the Wharf from here, so keep riding.
Steve Ferrario photo.
As the Cal cars crest the grade at Mason, you'll see the gripman drop the cable at the last minute. This is not because a cable car line with a higher cable crosses here (as happens for the Powell cars crossing California), but because the cable takes a 90-degree right turn here and runs without track for three blocks north under Mason Street to reach the cable car barn and powerhouse. This arrangement was installed when the cable car system was consolidated in 1957. As the Cal cars continue west, note the Flood Mansion on the right, last of the original palaces to survive (almost all were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire). It is now the very exclusive Pacific Union Club.
Next to it is Huntington Park, named for C.P. Huntington, and across from the park in the Huntington Hotel, an elegant restaurant named 'The Big Four,' themed around old California, particularly the railroad days. At Taylor Street is the imposing Grace Cathedral, a landmark Episcopal Church comparable to some of the great cathedrals of Europe.
For the remainder of the route, the Cal cars pass apartment buildings which grow more modest as you get farther down Nob Hill. At the corner of Hyde & California, looking somewhat out of place, is a supermarket. This parcel was the California Cable Railroad Company's car barn and general offices, serving the cars of both the California and O'Farrell, Jones & Hyde lines until the company went broke in the early 1950s. After Muni took over, they consolidated operations at the Washington & Mason powerhouse, and reworked the track on Hyde Street to let the Cal cars reach their new barn.
It's interesting to contemplate that if a different consolidation plan had prevailed—one which was proposed by leading members of the Board of Supervisors—the Cal cars would be turning here to run out Hyde Street to Aquatic Park (instead of connecting a Powell line to the Hyde track as ultimately happened). A California-Hyde line, connecting Chinatown's main street directly to Fisherman's Wharf via scenic Nob and Russian Hills, would have been much busier and more tourist oriented than a California Street-only alignment, and development patterns would have been different, too.
As it turned out, the Cal cars pass right through Hyde and roll only three more blocks before terminating. Polk Street offers some interesting shopping opportunities with a local neighborhood focus. At busy Van Ness Avenue—which is Highway 101, the main automobile link between the Golden Gate Bridge and downtown—the line abruptly ends. It once extended nearly twice this far, through Pacific Heights to Presidio Avenue (with steam train connections to the beach in the early years), but was cut in half in the 1950s consolidation. There is still a smattering of talk about re-extending the line to a more attractive terminal, either via California and Webster to Japantown, or via Polk to City Hall, but these ideas have never gotten past the talking stage.
Still, if you're looking for a pleasant cable car ride without the long lines, the California line is the place to go.

Early adopters of public clouds tend to be smaller online development shops, but their early successes signal a new way of aligning the IT organization in the face of cloud.
The growth of data center scale has given rise to devops--a melding of developer and operational skill sets. One player in this market offers his take.
Adobe Systems is contributing code to the Puppet data center automation and configuration management framework project to manage the open-source Hadoop project.
PaaS got its start as purely hosted offerings. But we're starting to see a lot more discussion about transplanting the approach into the enterprise data center.
Understanding how cloud computing and data center virtualization are forcing change in IT operations is important to understanding how to take advantage of cloud's disruptive nature.
The future role of cloud computing is in many ways unpredictable and ever changing. What balance of traditional infrastructure, private clouds, and public cloud services will your IT department consume in the next three years? Five years? The trick is to hedge your bets wherever you can.
As cloud adoption continues at an alarming rate, big IT vendors aren't sending the right messages to developers.
As the cloud market matures, James Urquhart changes companies and changes his focus from infrastructure to applications. It's time to say goodbye to one of his great passions, he says.
Private-cloud vendors should start thinking less about technology and more about how to apply their solutions to real business problems.
There has been much discussion about the relationship between open-source software and cloud computing. How will the two trends affect each other in the years to come?

Watch Austin and McClain, two freshman Bloggers, guide you through a virtual tour of Samford's campus. Bow Wow Bulldogs, Bow Wow Bloggers!
I always knew going into college that I wanted to get involvedin Greek Life and join a sorority. I knew that it would be a great way for me to get involved and to meet and make connections with a ton of new people! I was so excited when the time finally came to prepare for Recruitment Weekend. I didn't know a whole lot about how the process worked going into it but thankfully the entire process was extremely smooth.
A few weeks before the actual Recruitment Weekend, I was placed in a group with several other girls, which would be led by two upperclass girls, called Rho Gamma leaders. They were there to basically guide us through the process and be there for us in any way that they could. They had been through Recruitment previously so they knew exactly what we were going through. Both of them were such a blessing in my Recruitment experience!
I wasn't nervous about Recruitment until the actual weekend came, and I know I was not the only one anxious. The first night was the most casual out of all the rounds, and I just really enjoyed getting to talk to the girls in all the sororities and learn a little about them as a group. This night every girl went to every house. After each round, I went and ranked the houses that I had been back to. On Saturday, I was extremely nervous when getting my card that would tell me where I would be invited back. Each girl could be invited back to a maximum of 3. I was pleased with my options and was excited to go back and discover more about the awesome girls I had gotten a glimpse of the previous night. The second night, we were required to get a little more dressed up. Getting ready on Saturday was an ordeal in my room because even though I had to get ready for my evening, Samford football was playing an out of town game, and it was a must that I listened to the game online while getting ready. I loved getting to go back to some of the houses, and I left feeling even more excited for the last night. This night was the most serious and formal out of all three nights. This is when I truly felt a connection to a certain sorority, and I became emotional which was something I did not expect at all! I just felt such love towards a certain group of girls and knew that their house is where I wanted to be.
Bid Day was filled with much anticipation and excitement. I had to wait ALL DAY LONG…..or until around 5:30 to get that all so important, beautiful and suspenseful envelope that held my bid. All the girls who had a bid gathered in the Wright Center. On the count of 3 we all opened our bid cards at the same time. Now, cue the squeals! Bid Day is known as Squeal Day here on campus, and now I know why! We were all just so excited!! We all ran out of the Wright Center to our new sisters who welcomed us with signs, shirts, hugs and of course tons of squeals! It is a day that I will never forget.

Suzuki has recently unveiled their 2015 off-road range, which includes the DR200S you see here. The DR200S uses a 199cc air-cooled engine which should provide enough punch for town riding without being too intimidating on the trails. Unfortunately, due to Europe's strict emissions laws the little DR won't be coming to the UK. At the moment it's a US-only model. ...

The all-new Pagani Huayra effectively replaces the wonderful Zonda and is hugely significant for this tiny, bespoke supercar manufacturer. Should you want one you'll need 845,000 euros plus local taxes. Over 90 orders have already been taken and even when the new bigger factory comes on line next year Pagani will still only build 40 per annum.
The Huayra has a carbo-titanium tub (carbonfibre with titanium strands weaved into the mix for added strength). There's a transverse 7-speed single-clutch automated manual gearbox mounted behind its unique AMG-built 6-litre twin-turbocharged V12, active aerodynamics to reduce drag, improve stability and braking performance, ceramic brakes, active ride height under braking… the list goes on and on.
Find out if it can escape the Zonda's shadow in the video below. And read the full 14-page story in issue 172 of evo, on sale and on iPad on Wednesday June 20. Our world exclusive first web drive of the new Pagani Huayra is this way.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Kalamazoo City Utility crews have been working thru the weekend to repair a water main break at the corner of Kilgore and Lovers Lane, near Loy Norrix High School and Milham Park.
The Kalamazoo County Health and Community Services Department says there was a pressure reduction in the system because of the break and they are issuing a boil water permit for the Trestlewood Office Complex just to the south of the break, and Loy Norrix High School, as a precaution. It will remain in effect until tests on water quality will be conducted, and the water is determined to be safe. They are recommending bottled water in the interim.
The water main break was first discovered Saturday morning when a hole opened at the intersection. Fortunately cars were able to avoid it.
The intersection has been closed ever since, and the crew leader at the scene says while they have been able to repair the pipe, they still need to repair the road way and they may not be able to reopen the intersection until sometime Monday. They say it takes time for cement to harden and cure.

Current and future technical college students are now one signature away from an easier path to financial assistance.
Governor Nathan Deal plans to sign House Bill 372 into law. It would reinstate the 2.0 minimum GPA requirement for technical college students to be eligible for the HOPE Grant.
Thousands of students lost the award in 2011 when the GPA requirement was raised to 3.0.
"Many of those students have other obligations, family, jobs, and they're trying to be able to uphold all their responsibilities with their family while still going to school and this will probably relieve some of that financial stress on them," said SWGTC President Dr. Craig Wentworth.
Bill supporters estimate the lower GPA requirement would allow about 5,000 students to re-enroll in the grant program.

The dollar has been mixed, with USD-JPY making a new six-year high of 1.6277 and AUD-USD a six-month low at 0.9050 amid continued dollar bloc underperformance due to softer commodity prices. EUR-USD and other pairings have remained stable, while Cable managed to edge out a fresh recovery high of 1.6277 following yet another poll that put the No for Scottish independence camp in the lead.

The AUD and other dollar bloc fell once again, this time following below-forecast China production data, which came in at the weakest in nearly six years and which saw crude and copper prices retreat further. Coupled with concerns that the Fed may ratchet up hawkish language at this week's FOMC, the soft data out of China caused stock markets in Asia to wobble.
