Colonial Athletic Association Tournament Recaps(Sunday, March 10th)
Final Score: Northeastern 69, George Mason 67
Richmond, VA (Sports Network) - Jonathan Lee made the game-winning layup with three seconds left to lift the top-seeded Northeastern Huskies to a 69-67 decision over the fourth-seeded George Mason Patriots in the semifinals of the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament.
Lee and Joel Smith tallied 14 points each for Northeastern (20-11), which will advance to the championship game on Monday to play James Madison. Demetrius Pollard scored 13 points in 16 minutes off the bench while Quincy Ford posted 10 points and six boards. The Huskies trailed by as many as 24 points in the first half before storming back to earn a spot in the title game.
Byron Allen paced George Mason (18-14) with 20 points and Mark Gujanicic contributed 12 points and six rebounds. Vertail Vaughns, Sherrod Wright and Jonathan Arledge scored 10 points each.
The Patriots were dominant in the early stages and jumped out to a 31-7 lead. Northeastern gained some momentum finally and scored the final 12 points of the period to go into halftime trailing, 31-19. George Mason shot 50 percent from the floor during its dominant display in the opening 20 minutes.
Although the Patriots hit on 78.9 percent of their field goal tries after the break, the regular season champs continued to chip away at the deficit. Northeastern registered four more field goal attempts and outscored GMU, 15-4, at the charity stripe in the second stanza to come back and take the lead with just under six minutes left in regulation. The Patriots responded and went on a 7-0 run to go back on top, 67-61, with just 2:54 showing on the clock. Lee and Ford combined to sink four free-throws to make it a one possession game again before Ford tied it up at 67 with 57 seconds left with a layup. Ford then recorded a steal from Allen to give the Huskies possession with the shot clock off, which set up Lee's late game heroics.
The very closely contested matchup was reflected in the rebounding battle as GMU held a slight, 22-21, edge.
Final Score: James Madison 58, Delaware 57
Richmond, VA (Sports Network) - Devon Moore sank a pair of free throws in the closing seconds to lift the third-seeded James Madison Dukes to a thrilling, 58-57, win over the second-seeded Delaware Blue Hens in the semifinal round of the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament at the Richmond Coliseum.
Moore finished with 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists for JMU (19-14), which will take on regular season champion Northeastern Huskies for a trip to the NCAA Tournament on Monday. A.J. Davis scored a game-high 16 points and registered four steals while Andre Nation tallied 12 points to go along with five rejections.
Jamelle Hagins led Delaware (19-14) with a double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds. Hagins also blocked four shots and Kyle Anderson added 11 points.
After a closely contested first half, JMU took a 29-25 lead into the intermission. The Dukes shot 37 percent from the floor and converted 7-of-10 attempts at the charity stripe while limiting Delaware to 26.9 percent efficiency from the field in the opening 20 minutes.
The Blue Hens heated up to connect on 43.3 percent of their field goal attempts in the second stanza. Delaware used a 10-0 run to take a 51-46 lead and held a 57-51 advantage with 2:54 left to play. The Dukes closed out the game with seven unanswered points to steal the game as Nation drained a triple and Davis made two free throws before Moore's game-winning trip to the charity stripe.
Despite the loss, Delaware held a dominant, 45-27 edge in the rebounding battle.

With Koschei focused on pulling the drives and cables, she withdrew and let him continue. There were a lot. He'd done everything but tell her to get the hell out. Most people she'd tell to get the hell out of the womb. A Time Lord, however, had a stronger constitution and these weren't exactly normal circumstances.
After mounting up her chair she headed out into the hallway to survey the damage, determining whether she might be able to get to the main residence level by way of the elevator shaft. The cord could be severed by remote control provided it was still responsive.
Unfortunately she'd no sooner left the confines of the monitor womb than a swarm of the smaller flying…things flew from a wide fissure in the floor. The flames had weakened the central core and they'd clearly eaten their way through. She reached for a nearby broomhandle and started to try to fight them off.
There were too many and they were going for the window.
She withdrew quickly back into the womb and sealed the door, beating to death the three creatures that had managed to get past her. On the other side, heading directly into the VR suite was another fissure about twenty feet wide. Through the window Barbara could see the room filling with creatures that were literally eating away at the walls.
Something had to be done.
She considered the self-destruct, but that was out of range for her. With the systems down she had no way to reach it and blow them all to hell.
Stranded in the monitor womb of the Clocktower, Barbara searched for possibilities. On the console, towards one corner of the room was one of Nightwing's abandoned communicators. He'd left it there for repair and, so far as she knew, it should still be functional.
Barbara shoved the earpiece around her right pinna and opened the comm as the creatures shrieks could be heard in the background, through their fight to break through the thick steel which protected her from the onslaught for the moment. "Tower responders this is control. Issuing final evac. Repeat. Final evac. All responders get clear of the tower excepting Misfit. Misfit, report immediately to the VR control room. You have five minutes before Omega protocol is enacted. These things will not get loose if I can help it. Now move."
As she waited, nearly deafened by the screams and sitting helplessly in her control tower she grabbed the bag of hard drives and headed into the VR Control suite, nearly above the center of the Omega weapon and held the bag close to her chest. The ignition of the concentrated nitrogen tribromide bomb would send a fireball into the skies over Gotham, leaving empty space where the Clocktower now stood in its final moments. The sheer quantity of the explosives and the slammed-tight window shields on the residence level would ensure one hell of a pressurized bang.
There would be nothing left of the top ten or so floors of the Clocktower.
As she waited for Charlie to appear, Barbara prayed for her father and the others she loved.
Her death was at hand. She needed to make these last minutes count.
Turning towards Koschei, she spoke with a firm and immutable calm. "I think it's time for you to go, my friend."
He stood by, unsure of what she was doing. The Time Lord saw her battle the Pterrordactyls with only a broom, backing back into her control center.
He stepped closer to Barbara, shaking his head, "If you are thinking of sacrificing yourself, Miss Gordon, I cannot allow that. I still have a debt to pay and like Hell that I am going to let it go unpaid," he put his hand on her shoulder and knelt, locking his blue-gold eyes onto her's.
"I have a TARDIS," he said simply, "You don't have to die. You can survive this and kill those bastards out there. I doubt that Bruce or Charlie or your father or anyone else would want you to kill yourself."
Koschei straightened his shoulders, "I will wait with you. There is no way that I am abandoning you," he removed his laser screwdriver from his pocket, shooting the snout of one of the beasts so determined to get into the Womb.
Captain Marvel kept punching and punching away at them. He thankfully had the stamina of Atlas, but he could see Batgirl and even Batman starting to get hit. In his book, that was never a good sign. His brain quickly began thinking of what to do. Batman was right. He could keep fighting for a long time, but he still had to worry about the volume.
He needed a plan.
And then Batman said there was a dimensional portal that needed closing. "I think…I think I can do that!" He said. Wisdom of Solomon could hopefully provide some evidence. Maybe. He kicked another leathery dinosaur into the clock tower and began flying to Batman when a new announcement was made.
A final evac? But what about Barbara? He looked worried and looked at the top of the Clocktower. Oh no…would she?
"Oracle, I can try and close the portal and try and get you." Billy Batson wasn't going to let her do anything big and major. But that portal…that portal needed to be stopped.
He shot at the rift, slugging a monster already erupting from it. "Okay…Batman any ideas before I give it a shot?"

After sitting neglected for over a quarter-century, the Slick '73 Challenger is finally getting renewed. Once we brought the E-Body home, the first thing we needed to do was rid its interior of that horrible smell that mice leave behind. As an aside, while we worked on the interior's revival, a stroker engine assembly and the many other engine parts needed to build a strong running, pump-gas small-block were ordered.
The E-Body we're working on was refinished back in 1983, as per the era's style and standards. The early '80s was a time before the availability of reproduction interior upholstery, molded loop-cut carpet, door panels, package trays, and the host of other interior parts that are available these days. A sure laugh and sign of the times was seeing the shag carpet for a package tray and the pile-cut carpet. My best friend Slick purchased this E-Body in 1988, and shortly afterward the 340 spun a rod bearing and wiped out a few cam lobes. Back in 1999 we planned to rebuild the engine, but plans changed to put it off until he retired in 2013. Slick, however, died in 2008, so the Challenger was purchased from his widow. We feel Slick will be working with us in spirit.
Follow along on our mission to rid the interior of its horrible smell, while at the same time making the interior far more habitable. We removed the seats, console, carpets, door, kick and side back panels, back seat/trunk divider, and package tray, to get at the solid floor and trunk pan. For the clean out, we wore masks and gloves before removing dead mice, nests, and waste to protect us from that horrible stench and bacteria. Luckily, the little creatures did not chew and damage the wiring, which is a common problem. All the lights, gauges, and even the clock still worked!
For rust, sound, and heat protection (while also keeping the interior cooler during the summer), The Eastwood Company provided us with the necessary products, namely Rust Encapsulator, Gator Guard, Thermo-Coustic Barrier, and Vinyl Interior Dye. We made a call to YearOne for molded loop-cut carpet, package tray, trunk divider, and a shifter boot. Down the road we plan to replace the "too '80s" heat-pleated seat covers with a reproduction set from Legendary Auto Interiors. For now, it has a clean look and smells nice enough to spend some "quiet time" behind the wheel—once we rebuild the drivetrain.
1. This was our first peek—and smell of the interior. Evident were mice nests, mold on the dash, and a horrific mice waste smell that was bad enough to make your eyes water. The period cut-into-dash AM/FM cassette, underdash gauges and chronometer scream out late '70s/early '80s.We knew right there and then, we had our work cut out for us!
2. After the interior was removed, the entire floor and trunk pan was wiped clean with the Eastwood Pre Painting Prep (PN 10041Z) for proper surface preparation. Here we brush on the Eastwood Rust Encapsulator (PN 16065ZP, quart) rather than spray it on and risk overspray getting where you don't want it. The Rust Encapsulator will protect metal from further rust and can be topcoated with most any paint.
3-4. Next up was Gator Guard (PN 10129Z), essentially a pickup truck bedliner. This tough coating was also brushed rather than sprayed on. Gator Guard creates a thicker barrier than paint, which will help seal, strengthen and add sound deadening to the floor/trunk pan, doors, quarters, and wheelhouses. Be sure to wear the appropriate protective clothing, mask, and gloves. Seen here is my brother, Jim. He handled coating everything with the Rust Encapsulator and Gator Guard.
5. We couldn't wait to get rid of the white shag carpeting covering the package tray (aka the speaker shelf). The shag carpet was also badly infected with the rodent-waste smell. The old 6x9 speakers still functioned well enough so we would reuse them. Tapping on the package tray and its braces told us there was too much of that tinny, vibration noise. We knew covering those parts with the Thermo-Coustic Barrier (PN 12117) would reduce the noisy vibrations and resonance that come from that area.
6. To combat road and exhaust noise, as well as heat, we used the Thermo-Coustic Barrier on the front side of the original rear seat/trunk divider and installed the reproduction piece (YearOne PN LP5011) behind it for aesthetics when looking into the trunk. To further reduce noise, the Thermo-Coustic was applied to the wheelhouses, back side panels and floor/trunk pan. The new package tray (YearOne PN PDX70BLK) fit perfect and it looks much better than that white shag carpeting. We also covered the entire floor pan and transmission tunnel to deaden road, driveline, and exhaust noise—a big problem in any E-Body. The sound and insulating material will also reduce the heat coming from the headers and exhaust to help the factory A/C keep the Challenger's interior cooler during those hot summer days and nights.
7. We used the quieting material on the outer skin, as well as the inner door panel. Now the door slams with a solid thunk, and there will be less road and wind noise. The Eastwood hand roller (PN 52050) helped us attach the material, smooth and form it to the metal. Note: We needed three boxes of the Thermo-Coustic Barrier for all the areas we covered.
8. Back in 1983, the door and rear side panels were sprayed with a bright white dye/paint. Now, the panels are filthy, and the old paint was scratched and peeling. After removing the trim, cleaning and prepping with the Eastwood Vinyl Prep (PN 52055Z) we applied the White Interior Dye (PN 11438Z). We used Adhesion Promoter (PN 52366Z) for better adhesion and durability. The white dye will last for years if prepped and applied properly. Four moderate coats were applied to each panel. We needed to use four cans of the interior dye for proper coverage of the four interior panels.
9. We placed the carpet in the sun while we worked on the interior. We removed the wrinkles in the carpet (by hand) that come from being packed in a box. When pressed for time, judicious use of a heat gun can remove wrinkles and help the carpet conform to the floorpan. Be very careful if you take this route. The original console, swap-meet generic seat belts and temporary seat bolts hold the carpet in place to ease seat installation. We got the E-Body four-speed loop-pile molded carpet from YearOne (PN 7074EBLK40) and a new shifter boot (PN RF36SET).
10. The seats were smelly and stained with the mouse mess. Many hours were spent cleaning the seats with Meguiar's Interior Cleaner Spray and Wipes. The results were satisfying to the eyes but not the nose yet, so we proceeded to wash the seats (underneath too) with Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash and let them air dry in the sun to kill the bacteria and smell. We also sprayed on Meguiar's Odor Eliminator as another precautionary measure.
11. All that work paid off. The interior looks like new—even with those generic seat covers. We can't wait to rebuild the drivetrain and get it running. We're sure the ride will be cooler and quieter than any E-Body we've owned in the past.

"Last month, the tour made a stop in Detroit, symbolically the ground zero for American Decline (the Eastwood ad notwithstanding), giving Springsteen the opportunity to connect with those who may have more keenly felt the ravages of modern times. The crowd, while not representative of the nation as it stands (too old, too white), was a mix of blue and white collars, most of whom sang aloud and pumped their fists along with each song.
But did they listen to what they were singing? For an arena show, it got real in a hurry:
They destroyed our families' factories and they took our homes
They left our bodies on the plains.
The vultures picked our bones …"

Worst of all it is starting to rust despite never being in contact with water.

Album Review: MAPS & ATLASES – Beware And Be Grateful
Some may say they've mellowed over the years since their technicality-proficient math rock beginnings, but those who would mark the transition of Chicago's MAPS & ATLASES from percussion-heavy band of electric rock guitar riffs to acoustic guitar-fronted finger-picked 32nd notes as "mellowing" would be mistaken.
Though they do have a tendency to write with a progressive state of mind as far as their layered musical constructs go, with their latest release Beware And Be Grateful, the indie rock quartet achieve that ever-escaping accessibility factor toward which so many prog bands strive yet often come just shy.
Right out of the gate: the production work on Beware & Be Grateful – their third full-length album – is masterful. Opening track Old & Gray ultimately acts as a prolonged lead-in intro to second track Fever but it really also serves as a biopsy-like examination for the album as a whole: showcasing the band's swirling vocal ranges (often in densely layered choir-like harmonies).
If this would your first exposure to the band, both Fever and subsequent track Winter really strike a solid pop-rock chord and would be your best entry point: they're catchy as hell and have this underlain feelgood vibe that would surely make you want to get up and dance.
Remote And Dark Years is easily the most mainstream of tracks to be found on Beware & Be Grateful, clocking in under the three-minute mark and showcasing a brooding-vocaled Dave Davison that wouldn't feel out of place on a newer PEARL JAM effort, while the rhythmically-fronted and guitar-effect laden Silver Self serves as a great mid-album change of pace to keep the listener on his/her toes before diving into the straight-up alt-rock anthem Vampires.
Be Three Years Old sort of drifts towards the "mash a couple of disparate song ideas together into one cohesive track" method of songwriting (ZEPPELIN's Stairway To Heaven is the best example of this). This works out ok, though not nearly as well as other tracks on the release.
Bugs helps to really push that musical technicality for which the band has become known to the forefront, with a flamenco-style acoustic guitar flare that could justifiably put some metal bands to shame in the shredding department. Likewise, the inclusion of kettle drums on Penultimate track Old Ash really helps to showcase a little more variety from MAPS & ATLASES and makes this latest effort feel even more like a little adventure on the high seas which coincides nicely with their namesake.
Final track Important is a slow number that might end up leaving the listener in a state of solumn reflection or even despondence by the time the album comes to a close, and would likely have been better book-ended somewhere in the middle of the release, but alas MAPS & ATLASES have never really been a band to conform to expectations.
Beware And Be Grateful is an interesting album from start to finish, and it makes for a great chill listen on a summer evening. While the album itself isn't awe-inspiring as a whole, there are definitely ample toe-tap worthy moments to partake in as the journey unfolds; perhaps signs that their real musical masterpiece is still just over the horizon.

Fallout shelters are one of the weirdest reactions to the Cold War from my 'didn't live through it' perspective. Just like with duck and cover, it doesn't strike me as super helpful in the event of a nuclear attack. Depending on how close you were to the blast, you would be vaporized in seconds, before you even knew to run to your shelter. I can see the value for people who were farther from the drop site but even so, it's so. creepy.
I was born a few years before the Berlin Wall fell so I really have no concept of what it was like to live through this period. It seems so bizarre and terrifying to me to have a society collectively plan to build underground shelters just in case. Especially since this took place in the only country to have ever used nuclear weapons against another nation.

Cool GraphicsThere are two schools of thought for today's altered-wheelbase Match Bash tribute car builder. One camp follows the lead of those who restore real Max Wedge and A990 factory Super Stockers to give the cars a stone-stock appearance with factory paintwork and no lettering. It is sanitary, but perhaps a bit boring. The other camp says these modern-era altered-wheelbase monsters go several steps beyond the factory Super Stockers and should look it. After all, you've got to remember the vast majority of those original factory built Super Stockers (and FX cars) were given custom paint jobs, lettered-up, and raced within weeks of delivery. The added flash was all about recognition so it would be easier to build a fan base and book more paying match races every week. The lettering also thanked the vital participation of sponsors. This "war paint" was the rule rather than the exception.
After our initial photo shoot, Mister Rich decided to have Bob Thompson of Team Thompson in Pomona, California, apply some period-correct, '60s-style lettering to the Gold Rush Dodge. Notice the lettering isn't a simple rip-off of a famous paint scheme. Rich says there's been too much of that lately, and it insults the legacy of the original cars. he says, "Make the car your own. Allow yourself to pretend its 1966, and ask yourself what you'd like your match racer to look like. Then grab some old issues of Super Stock & Drag Illustrated for inspiration and do it."
Fast Facts: '65 CoronetRich LeFebvre * Seattle, WaMOPAR POWEREngine: If you're going to build an A/FX-style car, you better be ready to build the "Big Dog" engine-nothing but a Hemi will do. Making sure his ride ran as strong as it looks, Rich took a 426 block and filled it with a Velasco crankshaft and Ross pistons to yield a street-friendly 10.5:1 compression.

My girlfriend and I stayed in a double room at this Plaza Mayor apartment and we had two balconies looking straight over the romantic and lively Plaza Mayor. The place was very clean and filled with light. We were also met by a nice couple who checked us in and gave us advice about the area. Be aware, they don't have a reception but they we could contact them whenever with questions which was great. Highly recommended!!


text: I don't know where to begin. I can't sleep, eat, or even think straight. It feels like all my hopes and dreams are falling down on me. I feel like it's always raining over me. Every time a single drop hits you it gives you this shock. You wait for the next one to come but it still hits you by surprise, than suddenly you notice it's not just raining, or pouring, but its become something more strong, and powerful; a storm, and it's dark, cold, and scary, and as much as you want it to pass you still have to sit through it. The hardest part about it, is that when you're alone during the storm, it's even more scary, with no one there to protect you. You think about all the terrible things in your life. You think how could it get any worse. Suddenly the lights start to flicker, and the wind pushes the branches against your window even harder. It feels like your whole life is stumbling down before you. You get shivers because it's unpredictable, and so is everything surrounding you. After time the storm passes, and the sun starts to shine again, everything feels so warm; so dry. You start to feel safe and secure but you have yet to realize there will be more storms, more scares. It's like a cycle you just can't get your head around, and it's hard.

I had lunch there today, and I thought that the food was a major disappointment. The artichoke spread appetizer was extremely bland, unattractive, and unremarkable. The spaghettini with mussels consisted of a bowl of mediocre pasta with sour tomato sauce and a few stray mussels mixed in. The dessert was a chocolate panna cotta with pears, and it really wasn't good at all. The consistency was gluey and the flavor was...well..there wasn't much of a flavor at all. The pear morsels on top were pretty awful too. The Gramercy Hotel is beautiful, and the restaurant is lovely to look at and to be in. The wait staff was gracious. I won't be returning, however, because I really disliked the food.
Posted by Allison on 10/21/2011
We had a terrific experience the other night. The only glitch was a 30 minute wait before we were seated for our reservation, but the hostess personally and immediately brought over an appetizer to make up for it once we sat down. From that point on, everything was excellent, from the wine selections and suggestions, to the friendly waitress, to the delicious food (and we tried a number of different dishes). Will definitely be back.

If you're a guy and want a full meal you will not enjoy this place. The atmosphere is nice and the food is decent, but the portions are laughably small. For $21, the suckling pig pasta dish included 2 bites of pork and 4-5 thick strands (though not nearly as thick as pappardelle) of pasta. I would say the portion was roughly 1/3rd of a standard pasta starter or maybe 1/5th of a pasta entree. I do highly recommend it for NY's fashionably thin women however.

$15 for one ravioli and $49 for tasteless steak -- so glad this was an expensive dinner but what a waste. Pretentious, not great food --- oh, the bread was nice. Never again
Posted by john de. on 01/23/2011
We were expecting a unique Italian experience. The portions are really small. The special rabbit dish tasted medicinal. Nothing we had was remarkable except the bill which was high.The waitress had an attitude. never again.
Posted by Amcevoy on 11/12/2010
We were greeted by very friendly people. Our table was ready within 15 minutes of the reservation which I was happy with. The prociutto, salad, pumpkin ravioli and suckling pig were fantastic. Dessert also great unbelievable. Our waitress was as nice as could be. I also loved the atmosphere. We live in the neighborhood and can't wait to return very soon.

To this point, Danny Meyer has been deservedly recognized as creating the finest restaurant service experiences in New York City. I have eaten multiple times at Gramercy Tavern, Eleven Madison and Union Square Cafe, and have always been struck with how genuinely caring the maitres d' and serving staff have been. Maialino is a different question altogether, much to my (unpleasant) surprise. I arrived on time for our 9:00 reservation, and asked if any of my other six dining companions had already been seated. The hostess said that they had arrived, but our table was not ready yet. When I asked where I might find them, she dismissively waved her hand, saying that she really didn't know. I found them in the lobby of the Gramercy, and we were seated 15 minutes later (and late!). Our waitress, the same I had during my previous visit, had improved somewhat: first time around, she refused to tell me the specials "before everyone is ready to order." This is not the MeyerLand I have come to love. The restaurant is also extremely noisy. On the bright side, however, the food is uniformly excellent: the pastas are wonderful, the tripe appetizer is spicy and delicious, and the off-the-menu pick is just what a maialino should be! A mixed blessing overall.

Upgrade options
I've actually tried all three methods in various settings, and I find, as usual, that reformatting and installing everything fresh is the best way to go. Yes, it's long ang cumbersome, and I have no idea where every single installation CD is, but it's the best way to make sure you are only installing the stuff you want. We've all downloaded and installed God only knows how many shareware/freeware products, and be honest, you only use a few of them. I've also tinkered under the hood quite a bit, and not all of those hacks will work in Tiger the same way they did in Panther, so it is always a good idea to start fresh with any major system upgrade.
New Upgrade Option Variation w/ Tiger
A nice new variation that I tried with Tiger (and which can sort of be done with 10.3, but works best with the 10.4) is to backup, erase, and install.
another upgrade option
Due to my aging iBook and my prospective financial timeline, my Tiger upgrade option will likely be "Buy a new laptop" :-)
I did 'em all
I can't really vote as I did three different type of installations on different systems.
Archive and install for me...
....used that method on my Dual 2GHz G5. Had no major hiccups, save for copying over Macromedia's preference files over. Everything else worked out of the box. I did a clean install on my PowerBook G3; pleased to report that went smoothly.
Erase vs. Upgrade?
Elsewhere I have seen people suggest that an Erase & Install of Tiger will result in noticeably faster performance than an Upgrade from 10.3.x. Can anyone comment based on first-hand experience? TIA.
My approach
My boot drive is divided into three volumes. I backed up the boot (first) volume, containing OS 10.3.9, onto the second volume, then did an Erase and Install onto the first volume, and when the Setup Assistant launched, it asked me if I wanted to use the Migration Assistant to import settings, applications, etc. from another volume. I said yes, and let it carry over my settings, etc. from the second volume. I figured this was cleaner than an Archive and Install, since I've seen trouble with A&I installations that were due to the installer leaving behind some files (probably invisible ones) that it figured it could re-use in the newly installed system. Of course, the cleanest approach would have been not to use the Migration Assistant, but instead to reinstall all my apps, and manually re-enter all my settings, but I wanted to see what would happen with the Migration Assistant, since I'd never used it before. After doing this, I began to see some odd behavior, crashes, etc., so I installed another drive, and did a completely clean Erase and Install of OS 10.4 onto it, so I have a known-good installation to compare to the behavior of my Migration Assistant'ed volume. Since then, enough of the odd problems with my main boot volume have quieted down enough, on their own, so I haven't had to do any comparing yet, but it's a matter of time.

Michelle Alexander: White men get rich from legal pot, black men stay in prison
March 14, 2014
Ever since Colorado and Washington made the unprecedented move to legalize recreational pot last year, excitement and stories of unfettered success have billowed into the air. Colorado's marijuana tax revenue far exceeded expectations, bringing a whopping $185 million to the state and tourists are lining up to taste the budding culture (pun intended). Several other states are now looking to follow suit and legalize.
But the ramifications of this momentous shift are left unaddressed. When you flick on the TV to a segment about the flowering pot market in Colorado, you'll find that the faces of the movement are primarily white and male. Meanwhile, many of the more than 210,000 people who were arrested for marijuana possession in Colorado between 1986 and 2010 according to a report from the Marijuana Arrest Research Project, remain behind bars. Thousands of black men and boys still sit in prisons for possession of the very plant that's making those white guys on TV rich.
"In many ways the imagery doesn't sit right," said Michelle Alexander, associate professor of law at Ohio State University and author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness in a public conversation on March 6 with Asha Bandele of the Drug Policy Alliance. "Here are white men poised to run big marijuana businesses, dreaming of cashing in big—big money, big businesses selling weed—after 40 years of impoverished black kids getting prison time for selling weed, and their families and futures destroyed. Now, white men are planning to get rich doing precisely the same thing?"
Alexander said she is "thrilled" that Colorado and Washington have legalized pot and that Washington D.C. decriminalized possession of small amounts earlier this month. But she said she's noticed "warning signs" of a troubling trend emerging in the pot legalization movement: Whites—men in particular—are the face of the movement, and the emerging pot industry. (A recent In These Times article titled " The Unbearable Whiteness of Marijuana Legalization," summarize this trend.)
Alexander said for 40 years poor communities of color have experienced the wrath of the war on drugs.
"Black men and boys" have been the target of the war on drugs' racist policies—stopped, frisked and disturbed—"often before they're old enough to vote," she said. Those youths are arrested most often for nonviolent first offenses that would go ignored in middle-class white neighborhoods.
"We arrest these kids at young ages, saddle them with criminal records, throw them in cages, and then release them into a parallel social universe in which the very civil and human rights supposedly won in the Civil Rights movement no longer apply to them for the rest of their lives," she said. "They can be discriminated against [when it comes to] employment, housing, access to education, public benefits. They're locked into a permanent second-class status for life. And we've done this in precisely the communities that were most in need of our support."
As Asha Bandele of DPA pointed out during the conversation, the U.S. has 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's prisoners. Today, 2.2 million people are in prison or jail and 7.7 million are under the control of the criminal justice system, with African American boys and men—and now women—making up a disproportionate number of those imprisoned.
Alexander's book was published four years ago and spent 75 weeks on the New York Timesbestseller list, helping to bring mass incarceration to the forefront of the national discussion.
Alexander said over the last four years, as she's been traveling from state to state speaking to audiences from prisons to universities about her book, she's witnessed an "awakening." More and more people are talking about mass incarceration, racism and the war on drugs.

Cannabis & NASCAR
The Future of an American Icon
I had a friend once say to me that I loved racing so much I'd watch 8 kids racing on tricycles. I wish, however, that my love of NASCAR was as true because I'm an American that loves racing. But I'm also an American guy that is not white. In doing the research for this topic I happened to read this sentiment about a Japanese manufacturer joining NASCAR which was hardly surprising:
"Race-car impresario Jack Roush, when asked about Toyota's being invited to join NASCAR, said the U.S. would be better off if stock-car racing remained all-American. "When the Japanese go racing, it's like going to war," he was quoted as saying. Jimmy Spencer, NASCAR's Yankee redneck, wasn't afraid to snarl publicly about the "SOBs" who bombed Pearl Harbor, and expressed hope that "Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge kick their ass." And when Dodge found out one of its stock-car owners, Bill Davis, was lending Toyota's NASCAR effort a hand, it terminated his contract and sued him." (1)
The roots of NASCAR run deep in Southern culture. The South may be known for its hospitality except for people like myself, it's hard to feel welcome sometimes. But I do know that what is valid for physics can be equally evident within the foundation that helped to create NASCAR in that for every action is an equal and opposite reaction as Toyota's presence did have a positive effect:
Chevy, which had offered scant truck support in the past, despite having the most trucks (about 17 of some 40 trucks in the series), is suddenly fielding four factory trucks in 2004. Three of those are also sponsored by GM—fully paid for out of the home office's budget. It has created a research and development team dedicated solely to trucks, offered its teams more wind-tunnel testing time, and hired a shock-absorber engineer, among other upgrades.
Ford, whose F-series trucks have been the top-selling motor vehicles in the U.S. for 22 consecutive years, has convinced Roush and Robert Yates to pool their engine-building resources for the good of all Fords. The corporation is also working more closely and sharing more information with its teams.
As for Dodge's commitment, lead driver Bobby Hamilton cites "my 19 wind-tunnel dates last year" as evidence of the company's determination about truck racing and says it would be "hard to get any more support." (1)
I'm aware now that NASCAR seeks to be less exclusive with the implementation of the Drive for Diversity program to help with changing the stigma of catering to an all-white male majority. Curiously, The Drive for Diversity was conceived in 2004 around the time Toyota joined NASCAR and should be just the tip of the iceberg in how change within NASCAR can help to ensure its own survival.
It should be known that I'm also part of a demographic of Americans who are pro-cannabis, which now represents at least 50% of the United States, and continues to grow. (2)
And reading how NASCAR seemingly did little to help one of its own drivers, Ronnie Hults, regarding his legal use of medicinal marijuana was slightly disenfranchising of his efforts to promote the industry. (3)
As tragic as death has happened to some of the very best and least known NASCAR drivers since it was founded, the truth of the matter is that cannabis has been linked to zero deaths by overdose, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency. (4)
The same cannot be said of a sport where speeds can often be in excess of 200 mph by drivers who are completely sober except for the adrenaline coursing through their veins. Death is not an unexpected aspect of racing and the drivers are by no means delusional about this fact:
"Racers are different than most people. We don't have much fear. Even when things happen like this, we try to look at the positives that come from it and see what we can learn from it and make things safer for other people."
That's what happened in 2001 when Dale Earnhardt was killed on the last lap of the Daytona 500. The world of motorsports mourned, then immediately went to work on innovations such as SAFER barriers, the HANS (Head and Neck Restraint) device, carbon-fiber seats, a wider cockpit and other things to make the competition safer. (5)
I would like NASCAR to consider then, just for a moment, the equal and opposite of effect of how embracing the cannabis culture could bring about positive change using the objectives of its Drive for Diversity program (6):
For starters, the race fuel provided to NASCAR race teams, comes primarily from Sunoco:
"We're not just a sponsor of the sport, we were truly partners in this endeavor," says Drew Kabakoff, brand manager for Sunoco. "We worked to develop the new Sunoco Green E15 fuel as a team, and started from scratch to create a brand new fuel that is specifically able to handle 15 percent Ethanol made in our plant in New York State. The Sunoco fuel is loaded each week onto a dedicated fleet of Sunoco tanker trucks, and then pumped directly into the team's fuel cans." (7)
When it comes to industry stakeholders, NASCAR could benefit from recent legislation allowing the cultivation of hemp in states like Kentucky which will soon see hemp and cannabis-based projects where the plant has been banned since 1970:
The projects are part of a larger effort to boost farming in the Appalachia region of Eastern Kentucky, which was decimated throughout the 20th century as people turned to coal mining and other factory jobs in the area.
Comer announced a variety of projects Monday that will support veterans who turn to farming, research hemp for fiber and its ability to remove environmental toxins, and grow cannabinoids for medical research. (8)
In 2010, it was estimated that the Kentucky Speedway hosting a NASCAR race helped the state to generate $150 million in revenue in 2010. (9)
The effect of change in a formerly prohibitive law would then have the impact of financially helping farmers and residents of Kentucky grow hemp as a renewable resource in addition to receiving revenue from the Kentucky Speedway. As a benchmark:
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates for every one billion gallons of ethanol produced, 10,000 to 20,000 jobs are added to our domestic economy. (10)
According to Richard Parnas, a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Connecticut and a founding partner of RPM Sustainable Technologies (http://rpmst.com/Mission.html), an acre of hemp would yield, under ideal conditions, 30 gallons of biodiesel. The Kentucky Speedway was built on 1,000 acres of land which could, theoretically, generate 30,000 gallons of locally-sourced biodiesel! Mr. Parnas noted that it would only require about 18 weeks to set-up a facility to convert hemp to biodiesel. This is not including the amount of biodiesel which could also be created from used FOG (fats, oil, greases) from the on-site food service facilities.
A typical race of 40 or so cars may consume approximately 6,000 gallons of racing fuel. (11) Granted, that racing fuel is methanol, and requires different processing to make from hemp, however, the race teams' large trucks used to transport the race cars, team equipment, and basically the trucking industry in general, use copious amounts of diesel fuel. Thus, it is also the trucking industry which could benefit from NASCAR being fully engaged with investing in hemp to make biodiesel that could be used in most diesel engines today with very minor modifications. The timing of this coincides with President Obama's deadline to set new fuel economy standards aimed directly at medium and heavy-duty commercial trucks.
"Strong heavy truck efficiency standards will not only cut carbon pollution that fuels climate change," but also save money for consumers and truckers, said Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, which lobbies for environmental protection. (12)
The hemp not used to make biodiesel, could be used in other processes to make body parts for the race cars which can include any number of plastic components. Dodge is already a stakeholder with industrial practices that adopt hemp to manufacture parts for their Vipers. (13)
Hemp is so diverse, it can also be used to make all kinds of paper, the fabric used for team uniforms, and even as a carbon-reducing building material known as Hemcrete should NASCAR decide to add office spaces or grow facilities on-site at their racetracks. (14)
The value of adding hemp to NASCAR is equally important to the relationships created with more than just private industry but would also benefit the US military that hemp oil can also be used as a renewable resource to make plastic similar to what is used in making disposable windshield protectors:
"General Kern learned of our qualification efforts with the windshield tear-offs, like those used in NASCAR, on UH-60s, and he directed RAM&SA to leverage other technologies from racing. The RAM division formed a partnership with the Roush-Fenway Racing Team to cheaply test and prove out new materials, coatings, processes and nanotechnology," said Kris Walker, RAM & SA Team Lead, Attack & Unmanned Aerial Systems.
The RAM and Roush partners are now sharing testing and test data on windshield multi-layer tear-offs and diamond coatings for wear resistance." (15)
The medical industry would not be excluded as a stakeholder to how hemp and cannabis would contribute to NASCAR's growth potential and fanbase. Again, the medical benefits of cannabis have been well documented but much like alcohol, is not exempt from abuses. However, the fact of the matter remains and that if a company which makes alcoholic beverages (linked to 88,000 deaths from alcohol poisoning each year in the United States alone (16)) can be a major NASCAR sponsor then so, too, should cannabis and hemp-related companies. In Kentucky, the opportunity for cannabis oil producers to obtain legal status is practically a signature away as the Governor of the state will be presented a bill giving cannabis oil legitimate medical status and is a drug responsible for zero deaths by overdose. (17)
Some would say hemp is a God-given plant born for diversity. The challenges of using it in NASCAR would most certainly create many wide-ranging career opportunities that would first benefit the agriculture industry where the growth of corn currently earmarked for ethanol production could be planted in rotation with hemp thus helping to dispel any food vs. fuel debates where the burden on corn to produce both fuel AND food could be alleviated by hemp:
Crop rotation promotes soil fertility, can contain the spread of plant disease, help prevent weed infestation, and lessen the impact of insect infestations; thus lessening the need for costly and environmentally unfriendly pesticides. For organic farmers, who are unable to use chemical alternatives, crop rotation is a must for healthy crops and profits. (18)
When it comes to the history of hemp and marijuana, as with any history where prohibition is concerned, the picture is not one that conjures an image in which minorities were favorably treated. In fact, minorities were unfairly targeted as the basis of marijuana's criminalization efforts by Harry Anslinger during his tenure as the head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (which later became the DEA). There is no denying this ugly past but by embracing the cannabis culture, NASCAR could indeed be on the right side of history, instead of shunning it, as it already has the support of one particular group of minorities:
Research by NASCAR shows one demographic still in love with cars is Hispanics. That's why the sport launched a Spanish-language version of NASCAR.com and brought a NASCAR Toyota Mexico Series race to Phoenix this year.
Hispanic viewership of races broadcast on Fox was up 30 percent compared with last year, officials said. (19)
The color of a person's skin shouldn't matter with any of our endeavors. Sadly, though, this is not always the case in the history of America and how people are perceived. Some of America's greatest entertainers, like Miles Davis at the time of NASCAR's founding, were treated like royalty traveling abroad in Europe. In his home country, however, he still had to enter venues through the back door. One of his greatest works, "The Birth of the Cool", was in contrast to the extreme heat of racial tension at that time in America.
Much has changed since then but racial diversity has yet to happen in the driving ranks of NASCAR where it has already taken place in Formula One with a driver named Lewis Hamilton who was the 30th F1 Champion and, at the time, also its youngest ever:
"To be honest, it just doesn't register and never has," he said. "We're very aware of the ability of Lewis' colour to be used as a headline.
"But for us, it's just immaterial. We don't hide from the fact he's from a mixed-race background, but it just doesn't matter.
"The Tiger Woods label makes you smile and you could argue it's a compliment, but it's just not relevant to our objectives.
"He's in the team because he's earned it and not because of his colour." (20)
The issue of race is not the only reason NASCAR should welcome diversity as female gender roles within NASCAR can be equally attributable to its success. To its credit, females had an early presence in NASCAR where other series like Indy racing waited to allow women enter the ranks. To this day, women play an important role all throughout NASCAR's corporate structure:
"While many view NASCAR as a man's sport, the fact is that women have been taking a number of high-profile positions in racing over the years. With roles in officiating the sport, team ownership, and driving and operating the companies within the sport, women are influencing the shape and direction of NASCAR more now than ever." (21)
Whether NASCAR embracing hemp as a material or local source of biofuel, or tolerating cannabis as a legitimate medicine will lure more females or minorities to its fanbase remains to be seen. But if the Drive for Diversity in NASCAR can reflect more of what America looks like, to include the 50% of Americans who are pro-cannabis people like myself, then it's safe to say that it would be a welcome change to the sport.
And as an American that loves racing, I would love NASCAR for it.
The future of NASCAR cannot look back but must look forward to an America free from prejudice and energy dependence. These are problems that can be solved by working together with everyone in the American community to provide positive systemic change.

"Square Grouper: The Godfathers of Ganja"
From RottenTomatoes:
In 1979, the U.S. Customs Service reported that 87% of all marijuana seizures in the U.S. were made in the South Florida area. Due to the region's 5,000 miles of coast and coastal waterways and close proximity to the Caribbean and Latin America, South Florida was a pot smuggler's paradise. In sharp contrast to the brazenly violent cocaine cowboys of the 1980s, Miami's marijuana smugglers were cooler, calmer, and for the most part, nonviolent. Square Grouper paints a vivid portrait of Miami's potsmuggling culture in the 1970s and 1980s through three of the city's most colorful stories.
Well, today's the day that will decide if two football teams from two states that have legalized cannabis will play each other in the Super Bowl.
I'm quite excited about this possibility because of reasons.
Must read.
The other case I believe they are talking about can be seen on the Netflix Special: Weed Wars
This is very interesting

"Cannabis Design Research"
I've put together some of the research I've shared here on Tumblr onto my Coroflot portfolio which means it's being presented more for a design audience, thus has been refined.
I'd certainly welcome any feedback or comments my Tumblr peeps may have about it.
I'm all for medical marijuana but, if it were up to me, I'd be about disassociating the non-lethal product from known lethal terminology.

Welcome to pot nation: An extensive look at all the aspects of the drug in Canada
As Justin Trudeau's admission of marijuana use becomes the latest news item to catalyze a national debate on the drug, the Post looks at the status of pot in Canada — its history of use in the country, production, trafficking and what Canadians want to do about it.
"The Big Easy Wind Project"
This was a submission for a design competition sponsored by the Buckminster Fuller Institute.
And, strangely, 8 years to the day after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, Attorney General Holder "informed the governors of Washington and Colorado that the Department of Justice would allow the states to create a regime that would regulate and implement the ballot initiatives that legalized the use of marijuana for adults."
This was symbolic to me because, as part of the budgetary portion of my design submission, I proposed that proceeds from legalized marijuana be used to partially fund The Big Easy Wind Project. It was, I thought, a radical idea.
Although my entry wasn't selected, it was saved as part of the Idea Index, on the very last page. Since then, I couldn't help but to think that perhaps the marijuana aspect maybe put me out of the running.
This recent change in policy makes it feel like a win for me and perhaps that I'm not as crazy as I thought I was.
I definitely hope to see a project like this come to fruition.

Missouri SR22 Insurance Costs
Reader Question
I recently got a DUI, and was convicted for the charge. I was told I needed to get an SR22 bond to prove financial responsibility. How much is this going to cost me and what do I do to file the bond? I am not real clear as to what happens next.
Dan G.
St. Louis, Mo
Hi Dan, Adding an SR22 to your car insurance usually cost around $250 to $500. Generally this is only the cost of filing the form. The largest cost that you will have to pay along with the SR-22 is the underlying citation such as a DUI.
Most insurance carriers increase rates substantially when the policyholder is convicted of a DUI or other major offenses. It is important to get multiple quotes from different companies before filing an SR-22 to get cheap car insurance.
SR22 Filing
After your drivers license suspension period is up, what you need to do is to get an application for a car insurance policy with an SR22 form add-on.
Your SR22 insurance policy company will either provide you a copy of the this form to be submitted to the DMV office when you visit them for drivers license reinstatement or they will do the SR22 filing to the DMV directly so that you wont have to do it yourself.
We provide a free service to our visitors where they can check the rates on SR22 insurance in your local area. Enter your zip code in the form on this page to begin.
I would recommend you compare at least 3 companies, the larger ones as well as some of the smaller companies you might not be as familiar with.

from The Great Debate:
Let Japan help defend America — and itself
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is now following through on actions laid out in his recent bold speech calling for Japan to defend allies who might be under attack.
But wait, you may ask, hasn't the United States had a mutual security treaty with Japan for more than half a century?
Well, not quite. Yes, Washington has had a mutual defense-security treaty with Tokyo since 1951. But Japan is not committed to defending the United States or any of its armed forces. In fact, Japanese forces are prohibited from helping Washington in time of war -- even if the war is in defense of Japan.
This goes back to the postwar U.S. Occupation of Japan and the creation of the Japanese constitution. Determined that Tokyo would never again pose a threat to its Asian neighbors or the United States, Occupation leader General Douglas MacArthur and his staff were sympathetic to Japanese pacifists' proposal to include a no-war making article in the constitution, then being written with oversight by the Occupation authorities. This worked with the policies of then-Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida, who wanted to focus on rebuilding the Japanese economy -- without the distraction of creating a major defense force.

Kids in camo
By Pichi Chuang
The Albert kindergarten and day care center in the central Taiwan city of Taichung is as joyful and vibrant as any other, with its colorful plastic slides and trampolines, but what makes it different is the children. From five to nine years old wearing camouflage uniforms they practice crawling and handstands on foam cushions in the front yard, copying the training of army special forces frogmen.
Principal Fong Yun said "I think most Taiwanese children lack confidence compared with kids from other countries." Inspired by U.S. physical therapist Glenn Doman's theories, 15 years ago she created a series of exercises that combine military drills and gymnastics, believing that they would help children develop physical and mental strength.
from Global Investing:
Amid yen weakness, some Asian winners
Asian equity markets tend to be casualties of weak yen. That has generally been the case this time too, especially for South Korea.
Data from our cousins at Lipper offers some evidence to ponder, with net outflows from Korean equity funds at close to $700 million in the first three months of the year. That's the equivalent of about 4 percent of the total assets held by those funds. The picture was more stark for Taiwan funds, for whom a similar net outflow equated to almost 10 percent of total AuM. Look more broadly though and the picture blurs; Asia ex-Japan equity funds have seen net inflows of more than $3 billion in the first three months of the year, according to Lipper data.
from Global Investing:
Emerging markets' export problem
Taiwan's forecast-beating export data today came as a pleasant surprise amid the general emerging markets economic gloom. In a raft of developing countries, from South Korea to Brazil, from Malaysia to the Czech Republic, export data has disappointed. HSBC's monthly PMI index showed this month that recovery remains subdued.
With Europe still in the doldrums, this is not totally unsurprising. But economists are growing increasingly concerned because the lack of export growth coindides with a nascent U.S. recovery. Clearly EM is failing to ride the US coattails.
from Global Investing:
More EM central banks join the easing crew
Taiwan and Philippines have joined the easing crew. Taiwan cut interbank lending rates for the first time in 33 months on Friday while Philippines lowered the rate it pays banks on short-term special deposits. Hardly surprising. Given South Koreas's shock rate cut on Thursday, its first in over three years, and China's two rate cuts in quick succession, the spread of monetary easing across Asia looks inevitable. Markets are now betting the Reserve Bank of India will also cut rates in July.
And not just in Asia. Brazil last week cut rates for the eighth straight time and Russia's central bank, while holding rates steady, amended its language to signal it was amenable to changing its policy stance if required.
from Global Investing:
Where will the FDI flow?
For years the four mighty BRIC nations have grabbed increasing shares of world investment flows. But the coming years may not be so kind. These countries bring up the bottom of the Economic Freedom Index (EFI) for 2012. Compiled by Washington D.C.-based think-tank The Heritage Foundation the EFI measures 10 freedoms -- from property rights to entrepreneurship -- and according to a note out today from RBS economists, there is a strong positive link between a country's EFI score and the amount of FDI (foreign direct investment) it can secure. So the more "free" a country, the more FDI inflows it can expect to receive -- that's what an RBS analysis of 2002-2008 investment flows shows.
So back to the BRICs. Or BRICS if you add in South Africa (part of the political grouping though not yet included in the BRIC investment concept used by fund managers). The following graphic shows Russia languishing at the bottom of the EFI, China just above Russia and India third from bottom. Brazil is sixth from bottom while South Africa ranks two places higher.

Sweat-free iPads come at a price worth paying
By Wayne Arnold
The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are his own.
Apple scores points for pushing to improve conditions for workers in China churning out its iPhones and iPads. But change was inevitable. Yes, Apple commissioned the probe of Foxconn. But the problems uncovered at the Taiwanese company's factories in mainland China were already well-publicised. Apple may have also jumped before it was pushed. It should now sidestep any crackdown on abuse by Beijing by prompting Foxconn - at long last - to comply with China's labour laws.

Taiwanese money can't save Japan from Samsung
By Wayne Arnold
The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are his own.
Taiwanese money can't save Sharp from Korea's Samsung. Foxconn's $1.6 billion investment buys Japan's electronics company time. The deal gives Sharp cash and the promise of wider sales too, but does nothing to reduce a global glut in flat-panel screens. Like Sony, Panasonic and Toshiba, Sharp has for too long insisted on fighting for cutthroat markets where it's no longer competitive. As Hitachi has shown, withdrawal may be the best option.
from Global Investing:
The haves and have-nots of the (energy) world
Nothing like an oil price spike to bring out the differences between the haves and have-nots of this world. The ones who have oil and those who don't.
With oil at $124 a barrel, the stock markets of big oil importers India and South Korea posted their first weekly loss of 2012 on Friday. But in Russia, where energy stocks make up 60 percent of the index, shares had their best day since November, rising more than 4 percent. The rouble's exchange rate with the dollar jumped 1.5 percent but the lira in neighbouring Turkey (an oil importer) fell.
from Breakingviews:
Taiwan voters should focus on growth, not China
By Wayne Arnold
The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are his own
Taiwan's economy should be the winner if the ruling party clinches this weekend's presidential and legislative elections. A big issue is how fast the island should build trade and financial ties with China. President Ma Ying-jeou wants to go full steam ahead; the opposition would ease the pace. But growth is the more immediate issue. Ma's party, the Kuomintang, is more likely than his rivals to give Taiwan's flagging economy the jolt of fiscal stimulus it needs.
