EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Raytheon announced April 10 its Raytheon Advanced Combat Radar has been competitively selected by the Republic of Korea to upgrade the country's KF-16C/D Block 52 Fighting Falcon fleet.
"This win ensures the Republic of Korea's KF-16 combat aircraft remain relevant in a constantly evolving threat environment and builds on our legacy of providing enhanced combat capabilities for global allied forces," said Rick Yuse, president of Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems.
Subject to final definition by the U.S. government, Raytheon will deliver 134 active electronically scanned array radar systems with deliveries anticipated to start in late 2016. The scope includes AESA radar development, production of test assets for the system design and development program, and production.
Raytheon has demonstrated F-16 platform expertise by delivering mission critical avionics systems including the modular mission computer, electronic warfare systems, and various weapons. This selection adds the F-16 Fighting Falcon to the family of fighters retrofitted with Raytheon's AESA-based radars (F-15C, F-15E and the F/A-18E/F).
"RACR complements and leverages Raytheon's F-16 avionics heritage to provide the lowest risk, most affordable and highest reliability AESA retrofit solution," said Jim Hvizd, vice president of International Strategy and Business Development for Raytheon's Space and Airborne Systems business. "This experience has directly contributed to the ease of installation and performance that continues to exceed customer needs."
The Republic of Korea selection bolsters Raytheon's AESA radar production base, which has already delivered more than 500 AESA systems worldwide, supporting more than 400,000 operational tactical flight hours, both industry firsts.

This story was corrected on July 9, 2013. An explanation follows the story.
Potomac businessman Alexei Iazlovsky pleaded guilty July 1 in federal court in California to filing a false tax return for tax year 2008, diverting a total of $2.6 million of untaxed income, according to court documents.
Iazlovsky, who was born in Russia and became a U.S. citizen in 2002, had an undeclared bank account — held in the name of a foreign corporation — at the Luxembourg branch of an Israeli bank, according to court documents.
Iazlovsky owned a corporation called A&Y Associates Inc. that produced documentaries for Russian television stations. On the advice of tax preparer United Revenue Service Inc., Iazlovsky began keeping money out of the U.S. and diverting payments from his Russian clients to a foreign bank account, according to court documents.
In the last several years, the government has been going after those who, like Iazlovsky, use overseas accounts to avoid paying taxes, said Brian Mahany, a lawyer who specializes in asset protection, fraud recovery and tax issues and writes about these issues on his blog "Due Diligence."
It is obvious that the government wants him to provide information about his banker and United Revenue Service, Mahany said.
He said the goal isn't to get Iazlovsky to cough up a million dollars in penalties and fines — it's to find the accountants, tax preparers, lawyers and bankers who help set up these accounts and evade taxes.
"If one banker spills the beans, you could get one 100 clients," Mahany said,
Iazlovsky diverted a total of $2.6 million in untaxed payments from his Russian clients to his undeclared bank account in Luxembourg. From 2002 through 2009, Iazlovsky filed false individual and corporate tax returns that did not disclose his bank account in Luxembourg.
Iazlovsky admitted that the taxes he did not pay totaled more than $400,000, according to a Department of Justice press release.
Iazlovsky has agreed to pay a civil penalty in the amount of 50 percent of the high balance of his undeclared account to resolve his civil liability with the IRS. Iazlovsky faces a maximum prison term of three years and a maximum fine of $250,000, according to court documents.
His case was handled in the the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
Explanation: The original version incorrectly reported the date of the guilty plea.

Lewis Hamilton admits it would great if Kimi Raikkonen joined Red Bull as he would give Sebastian Vettel a "hard time".
With Mark Webber quitting Formula One at the end of the season, the Red Bull bosses have made no secret of the fact that Raikkonen is top of their wish list to replace the Australian next year.
Lotus, though, are determined to hang onto the Finn while Raikkonen is also yet to decide where he will drive in 2014.
Hamilton, who has on numerous occasions stated that Vettel's machinery is by far the best on the grid and played a major role in his three World Championships, says he would love to see Raikkonen challenging the German in the same car.
"Right now it would be really cool to see Kimi in a Red Bull. He would give Seb a hard time," he is quoted as saying in The Sun.
"Kimi is an incredible driver everyone knows that so with an even better car it would be interesting to see what he does with that."
Although Hamilton is 15 points ahead of team-mate Nico Rosberg in the Drivers' Championship, he is yet to taste victory with Mercedes whereas the German has already won two races.
"What you learn is to take losses on the chin and to learn and grow from those experiences. You can't always be ahead of your team-mate.
"You can't win all the time, that's the biggest thing I have learned.
"Some things happen for a reason. But I am still the same as always. I drive aggressively and go out to win."

Binge Drinking Sticks Wisconsin With A Hefty Tab
Originally published on Sat March 16, 2013 9:47 am
Wisconsin has the highest number of binge drinkers in the nation — one in four adults. And binge drinking — defined as five or more alcoholic drinks in a short period of time for men, and four for women — cost the state $6.8 billion in 2012.
That breaks down to about $1,200 per person in higher taxes, more health care, and other costs, according to a new study from the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
Penny Black, who co-authored the study, spoke with host Audie Cornish on All Things Considered Thursday.
To understand how big an economic toll binge drinking takes, Black and her colleague Jason Paltzer divided the costs into different categories.
The largest portion of the economic burden comes from lost productivity, according to Black. That includes missing work, premature mortality, incarceration, and absenteeism.
In 2011, there were 50,000 hospitalizations due to binge drinking — part of the increased health care costs. And with more than 60,000 arrests of binge drinkers in 2010, the criminal justice system is also taking a hit.
But how did the researchers account for Wisconsin's large population of college students? Surely they have something to do with the state's binge drinking rate. So if you took those students out of the equation would the numbers look different?
Black says yes, and no.
"We know that binge drinking is a huge problem in the 18 to 25-year-old population, but in Wisconsin specifically, that behavior continues past college," she says. "And it's really kind of a norm. And that's why we are No. 1 in the nation as far as binge drinking rates."
Unfortunately, Wisconsin's alcohol problem extends beyond binge drinking: The general alcohol consumption rate for the state is 30 percent higher than the national average.
Black tells Cornish there are a lot of reasons that account for how Wisconsin became the booziest state in the nation.
"A lot of it is availability," Black says. "Alcohol is available at every event — church event, school event, sporting event. We have local control here so there is no monitoring of the number of licenses that are allowed for people to sell alcohol."
The state also has one of the lowest taxes on alcohol in the country. In 2011, Wisconsin collected $69 million in alcohol taxes, which covers just 1 percent of the $6.8 billion in costs detailed in the report.
Many of the state's public health experts, including Black, have argued for raising the tax to temper the problem.
"We know that increased prices are a deterrent for younger drinkers, so it would help on front end in that it would reduce some drinking," she says. "And then on the other end it would help pay for more of the problems that are caused by excessive alcohol use."
If you're curious about how other states rank, you can check out this table the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put together in 2010. It seems there's something regional about the problem (Nebraska and North Dakota are No. 2 and 3, respectively). But you'll also find a lot of people overdoing it in New England, the District of Columbia, Alaska, and Hawaii.
Wisconsin has the highest binge-drinking rate in the nation and that is costing the state $6.8 billion a year. That breaks down to about 1,200 bucks per person in higher taxes, health care costs, and more. This is all according to a new study from the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
And here to talk more about this is Penny Black, who co-authored the study. Penny Black, welcome to the program.
PENNY BLACK: Hi, thank you for having me.
CORNISH: So, for the study, you guys divided the cost into different categories. Tell us what some of those categories were - the biggest ones maybe or a category that surprised you.
BLACK: Sure. The largest portion of the economic burden comes from lost productivity. And lost productivity includes lots of things; missing work, premature mortality, incarceration, absenteeism, fetal alcohol syndrome. So the largest categories that lost productivity because it encompasses so many different variables.
And then we also have increased health care costs. The criminal justice system has a huge part of the burden, as well as the motor vehicle crashes that result from excessive alcohol use.
CORNISH: Now, in looking across the state, one question I know a number of people would ask is adjusting for the college population. I mean, not to cast dispersions on those schools and universities in Wisconsin, but if you took them out of the picture would the numbers look different?
BLACK: Well, yes and no. We know that binge drinking is a huge problem among the 18 to 25-year-old population. But in Wisconsin, specifically, that behavior continues past college and it's really kind of a norm. And that's why we are number one in the nation, as far as binge drinking rates.
CORNISH: What is it about Wisconsin culture? I mean, you're talking about top binge drinking rates, but the alcohol consumption rate generally is 30 percent higher than the U.S. average.
BLACK: Yeah. So there are a lot of contributing factors to how we got here. A lot of it is availability. Alcohol is available at every event - church events, school event, sporting event. We have local control here, so there is no monitoring of the number of licenses that are allowed for people to sell alcohol. It's done at the municipal level.
Also, the price. We have one of the lowest taxes on alcohol out of the country. So between the availability and the affordability, we're up there as far as consumption rates.
CORNISH: You point out in the study that Wisconsin has one of the lowest alcohol taxes around and that this is not enough to cover this cost of this problem to the state. But how would raising the alcohol tax actually help?
BLACK: In a couple of different ways. One is we know that increased prices are a deterrent for younger drinkers. So it would help on the front end in that it would reduce some drinking. And then on the other end, it would help pay for more of the problems that are caused by excessive alcohol use, which theoretically would be less if the consumption was less. So yeah, it would help on the front-end and the backend.
CORNISH: Penny Black is co-author of a study looking at the dollar cost of binge drinking in the State of Wisconsin.
Penny Black, thank you so much for talking with us.
BLACK: Thank you for having me. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A massive bloom of the cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) Nodularia on the surface of Farmington Bay, an enclosed embayment of the Great Salt Lake, Utah (USA). The bay receives extensive nutrient loading from Salt Lake City. The Secchi disk photo demonstrates how massive cyanobacterial and algal scums can limit light penetration and shade underylying waters. Salinity at the time of the photo (15 April 2005) was 1% (10 ppt).

I have heard pelón (or the feminine pelona) used to both refer to someone who has no hair and someone who has a lot of hair. Is there any way of distinguishing whether pelón means bald or hairy, or is context the only indicator?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Spanish Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Spanish language. It's 100% free, no registration required.
According to the RAE, pelón means someone who has little or no hair, and that it means "with a lot of hair" in Ecuador.
A topic on Wordreference.com confirms this, so does looking the word up on Wordreference.
So I think you can go on using pelón safely to say "bald or with little hair".

Didier Cuche closes on lead in Super G with third place in Crans Montana
Didier Cuche raised the atmosphere as he left the start gate for his last speed race in Switzerland. The large crowd that had made their way up to Crans Montana willed his every movement and the roar when the first split showed up green was deafening. Cuche is a HEAD World Cup Rebel and his adoring crowd that lined the course wanted him to sign off on the Crans Montana slope with victory. In the finish he had to settle for second behind the resurgent Benni Raich and then Adrian Theaux nudged him down one place to third.
While the sun did not give the course as strong a pounding as for the previous day, the course setting meant that racers needed to be exact and light on the skis: something Cuche is a master of. Cuche had prepared for this weekend and wanted to win "but if you do it, it is another thing, it is so good," he admitted afterwards, "I can do it."
In taking another 60 points for third place, Cuche is now rapidly charging up the standings. He now trails fellow HEAD World Cup Rebel Aksel Lund Svindal in the discipline standings by just seven points and is now lucking ominously in the Overall standings. This is something that Rainer Salzgeber was keen to point out: "The missing forty points he could have won today may make a difference at the end of the season in the Overall." This is the business end of the season in terms of fighting for every point.
With three speed races scheduled for Kvitfjell, there is all to play for said Cuche: "It is somewhere I love and am really looking forward to going up there."
With Kjetil Jansrud placing seventh and Svindal coming home in ninth place, the HEAD team was further bolstered by the performance of Matthias Mayer. Mayer admitted after the race that he had been inspired by his early start number (2) to really attack. As a number of his fellow early starters failed to better his time, the young Austrian was only nudged out of the top ten by the top seeds to finish 11th for his second best career World Cup result. For Jansrud the soft snow had helped him cope with a slight knee problem he has.
The Women's Downhill in Bansko was cancelled due to the weather with Lindsey Vonn already confirmed as the Downhill World Cup Champion for 2012.

Launch Vehicle: Atlas-Agena B (no. 3 / Atlas D no. 121 / Agena B no. 6003)
Launch Site: Cape Canaveral, United States, launch complex 12
NASA Center: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Spacecraft Mass: 330 kg
Spacecraft Instruments: 1) imaging system 2) gamma-ray spectrometer 3) single-axis seismometer 4) surface-scanning pulse radio experiment
Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
This was the first U.S. attempt to achieve impact on the lunar surface. The Block
II Ranger spacecraft carried a TV camera that used an optical telescope that would allow imaging down to about 24 kilometers above the lunar surface during the descent. The main bus also carried a 42.6-kilogram instrument capsule that would separate from the bus at 21.4 kilometers altitude and then independently
impact on the Moon.
Protected by a balsa-wood outer casing, the capsule was designed to bounce several times on the lunar surface before coming to rest. The primary onboard instrument was a seismometer.
Because of a malfunction in the Atlas guidance system (due to faulty transistors), the probe was inserted into a lunar transfer trajectory with an excessive velocity. A subsequent incorrect course change ensured that the spacecraft reached the Moon 14 hours early and missed it by 36,793 kilometers on 28 January. The central computer and sequencer failed and the spacecraft returned no TV
The probe did, however, provide scientists with the first measurements of interplanetary gamma-ray flux. Ranger 3 eventually entered heliocentric orbit.

Comments On Jan 29, 2015:Removing the old sole is very difficult. Installing the new sole requires some super adhesive and i still haven't found one that is great, and a creative clamping device. The soles wear way too quickly in my opinion and I would opt for a better boot in the future.

Comments On Sep 09, 2014:love them ARC boots, too bad RM does not sell them anymore. purchased replacement soles and they fit good. removal of the old soles are a real pain, but if you use a heat gun and continue to pull and pry they will come off. my only complaint is that glue was not provided with the soles so i had to use my own, which i am not sure if its the right kind or not. i would give 5 stars if the glue was included.

How was such a great army, like the army of Napoleon on its way to Moscow, supplied with food and other needed things? Were they transporting it from France or maybe stealing from territory on their way? What were general methods to supply great armies?
Campaigns of Napoleon: The Mind and Method of History's Greatest Soldier by David Chandler is a good source of informations on Napoleon. See pages 749-797, chapter "War Pans and Preparations".
Mostly, the supplies were stored and ran from Poland. However, the army was accompanied by no less than 200,000 animals and 250,000 vehicles. A lot of the supplies were to be found on site -- hence the delay in the attack. The sheer scale of Russia and its scorched earth were massive factors in the failure of the offensive.
Napoleon's army got some supplies from occupied and allied territories of course, especially from Prussia and Poland. Still, the distances were too long to get sufficient supplies in and so the soldiers plundered villages on their way to collect food. This turned out particularly devastating on their way back: the Russians used scorched earth tactics and the army literally starved to death. To quote Wikipedia:

TABLEHOPPING A new sushi spot you'll want to check out, more vittles in Hayes Valley, and a British addition to the Mission.
email@example.com [1]
Sushi lovers in search of great new spots, prick up their ears: Now accepting reservations is Kusakabe (584 Washington, SF. www.kusakabe-sf.com [2]), a sushi restaurant from Mitsunori "Nori" Kusakabe — he was previously gaining quite the fan club while at Sushi Ran. His omakase (chef's selection) menu will be $95 and features a lot of sushi, including some ancient styles, extending beyond the more common Edomae style we usually find here in the US. The menu takes on a kaiseki format, with themes of seasonality and harmony playing very prominent roles. You can supplement the main menu with extra dishes off the à la carte menu (I will not judge you for wanting the ikura and ankimo, I'm right there with you). Kusabe is an intimate space, with 31 seats, so reserve your spot before this place gets too busy — I have my money on that happening very soon. Open Tue–Sun 5pm–10pm.
Hayes Valley is gaining a couple more dining options, and both are spots that have locations elsewhere in the city. Throwing open the doors this week is Papito West (425A Hayes, SF. www.papitosf.com [3]) from Jocelyn Bulow (Chez Maman) and co-owner David Alexander. It's hermano to the Potrero Hill location, so you'll be able to order off the taqueria part of the menu — think well-executed tacos, plus quesadillas, burritos, and more, all made with organic ingredients. But what's new about this location is that it'll feature a significant amount of seafood and ceviches from a raw bar. Chef Reynol Martinez whips up a crudo plate, oyster of the day (just as the sign says, it's an "Oysteria"), and a shellfish platter with oysters, prawns, mussels, and clams, along with some seafood entrées too. You'll hardly recognize the former Moishe's Pippic: the room is full of light (thanks to the skylight), with windows that open to the street, plus a few outdoor tables. Continuous hours (so handy) will run Mon–Fri 11:30am–11pm, and Sat–Sun for brunch 10:30am–4pm and dinner 4pm–11pm.
Is that your sweet tooth gnawing at you? Maybe you just have an attack of afternoon munchies. Also now open in Hayes Valley, in the former Taste Tea space, is Loving Cup (535 Octavia, SF. www.lovingcupsf.com [4]), known on Polk Street for its rice pudding and frozen yogurt that you can style with all kinds of toppings. There are also some larger tables at this location, with the intention of hosting birthday parties (or just your local club of rice pudding fanatics). Open 11am–9:30pm.
While Gashead Tavern (2351 Mission, SF. www.facebook.com/gasheadtavern [5]) may have a bit of a menacing name (and sign), this is what happens when the two British owners (Edward Sargent and Rodger Howell of Murio's Trophy Room on Haight Street) are seriously dedicated to their hometown soccer team, the Bristol Rovers, whose fans are called "gasheads." So now you know. What you also need to know is that you'll find British pub classics on the menu (fish and chips, of course, plus bangers and mash), and chef Matt Nudelman (previously of Lower Haight's Greenburger's) will be adding some California ingredient sourcing and seasonality to the hearty menu. There's a full bar with simple takes on classic cocktails, plus beer and wine. The former Charanga has an eclectic look, with a huge antique mirror keeping company with midcentury chairs, and there's a small outdoor seating area in the front of the restaurant. Opening hours are 4pm–2am for the bar and 4pm–9pm for the kitchen. Cheers, mate.
Just in case you're looking for a new happy hour to add to your rotation, the NI Bar in the back of the new ICHI Sushi (3282 Mission, SF. www.ichisushi.com [6]) in Bernal has happy hour specials like $1 oysters (so fresh and so clean), $6 yuzu chicken wings (so juicy and so good), a changing selection of $6 glasses of wine and sake, plus $4 pints of Sapporo. The regular bar menu will also be available. Hit it up Monday–Friday from 5:30pm–6:30pm.

I'm having some trouble understanding what a design pattern is and isn't, particularly with respect to version control systems like CVS and Git.
Is "push, pop, stack" a "design pattern"? If yes, is CVS the same design pattern?
...clients connect to the server in order to "check out" a complete copy of the project, work on this copy and then later "check in" their changes.
If yes to both, then are DVCSes like Git a different pattern? Which one?
If these aren't design patterns, why aren't they? What should they be called?

ROUND 19 - United States 16-18 November 2012
Circuit Length:5.516 km
Lap Record:to be established
The second-last race of the season has brought us to one of the most eagerly-awaited venues in years. It's the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, where the Lone Star State will try to provide the permanent home in North America F1 has been seeking for years. This is the 10th venue to stage a Grand Prix in the US (can you name the other nine?). This will be the 52nd Grand Prix in the country, but it is the first circuit to be purpose-built for Formula 1 cars.
"I just love the idea that all of this is happening. I love the sport so much and I think it's going to have a wonderful home now." The speaker is a great American driver who is in town as well as an ambassador for the Circuit of the Americas. That's Mario Andretti – the last US racer to win a Grand Prix, and that was back in his World Championship-winning year of 1978! "This is what was needed," says 'Supermario'." Now we can compete with the rest of the world, some of the new venues that have gone up in the last few years, the Middle East and so forth and Asia, so finally the US will have that standard and I think that's so important because that was the ingredient that was sadly missing here in the United States."
Surprisingly enthusiastic about coming back to America is Kimi Raikkonen, F1's latest race-winner and a man with recent knowledge of racing over here. "Last year I tried NASCAR. I did two races on the Charlotte oval and I really liked it a lot. That was probably the experience I needed to open my eyes for racing again," says Lotus's Finnish driver. "After that I really wanted to come back to Formula 1, while it was a tempting idea to do more NASCAR, too. After seeing the excitement of the American NASCAR fans I hope Formula 1 gets people as eager to enjoy our racing in Texas, too."
It's another Hermann Tilke design, and to the racing fan it looks like a beauty. It's another anti-clockwise challenge, and it's a decent lap at 5 and a half kilometres. Its dominant feature is right at the start: a stunning uphill sprint to the blind, left-hand Turn 1, followed by Esses like Suzuka; Turn 11, a left-hand acute hairpin, is another stand-out and there is a stadium section in the 'twisty' bit in the second half of the lap. Renault, whose engines have been doing a lot of winning lately, expect a lap time of around 1 min 39 secs and a top speed of about 314 km/h at the end of the long straight between Turns 11 and 12. It will be thirsty on fuel, they say, thanks to the on-and-off throttle stuff in Sectors 1 and 3.
Former French F1 driver Jacques Laffite, winner of six races between 1977 and 1981, is here in Austin commentating for television. "It's absolutely stunning," he said after a quick tour of the track on Wednesday. "It reminds me of the old Zeltweg in Austria with that climb up to the first corner, and it's certainly a place that's going to sort the men from the boys. They've done an outstanding job."
"In many ways America will be the biggest challenge for us of the year," says Pirelli's Paul Hembery, and to meet it the tyre company has decided to go conservative with the Medium and Hard compounds on offer. Pirelli's tester Jaime Alguersuari agrees: "It looks like a great track and a lot of fun to drive," says the Spaniard. "It's clear that all the teams have good knowledge of all the Pirelli tyres now, so I would say that understandably the hard and the medium tyres are quite a conservative choice, but of course this depends on many other factors such as the macro-abrasion of the surface in Austin. We could be looking at a one-stop race although there are other outside circumstances that can always affect this, such as safety cars and the weather. A new track often shakes things up a bit, so I'm sure it will be interesting."
Happily for American fans F1 arrives in Austin with the 2012 titles still in the balance. While Red Bull will almost certainly wrap up their third straight constructors' title (they are 82 points clear of Ferrari), Sebastian Vettel now has a 10-point margin over Fernando Alonso with just this race and Brazil to come. Vettel could win his third straight World Championship if he finishes 15 points ahead of Alonso, but given the form both men have been in recently that seems a pretty unlikely scenario. Vettel has been spending a lot of time in the simulator learning the track, while Alonso was one of the first drivers actually seen at the circuit on Wednesday.
One man looking forward to his first racing excursion to the USA is Sergio 'Checo' Perez, who will be making his second-last appearance as a Sauber driver before moving to McLaren in 2013 – and he doesn't have to travel far. "I am very much looking forward to this race!" says the Mexican. "I think it is the closest race for eight years for me to my home town of Guadalajara. I expect many Mexican Formula One fans to attend and this, for sure, will give me an extra boost. Of course I also hope there will be a Mexican Grand Prix one day, because I am aware of the great enthusiasm for Formula One in my country, but for now I regard the race in Austin as my home Grand Prix." Since his spectacular podium at Monza, Perez has scored exactly one point in five races – and not a single one in the last four.
Mark Webber needs to be on his finest form to hang on to fourth place overall – he is just two points clear of Lewis Hamilton after his no-score in a difficult outing in Abu Dhabi. Mark has a lot of time for Austin, which is t wined with Adelaide but reminds Webber of another great Australian city: "The layout looks awesome. It's probably one of the best layouts of the year in terms of being challenging for the drivers and the cars. I've been to Austin a few times, I've got some buddies there. It's a really vibrant city, similar to Melbourne, and I know the locals are going to really embrace it."
Heikki Kovalainen certainly hopes so. "I think one of the key things to how successful the weekend will be is how the American fans take to the race," says the Caterham driver. "We've obviously been there before and there's a lot of other racing that US fans are very passionate about, but F1 has changed since we last raced there and we know what it takes to put on a show so I think it's going to be really good." Let's hope he's right…

Establishes no itinerant vendor, except for a manufacturer, an authorized manufacturer's representative, or authorized distributor, shall offer for sale baby food, nonprescription drugs, cosmetics or batteries.
Ayes (9): Peralta, Huntley, Hassell-Thompson, Savino, Perkins, Saland, Fuschillo, Robach, Flanagan
Ayes W/R (1): Adams
An act to amend the general business law, in relation to itinerant vendors
To clarify which products may not be sold pursuant to § 38 of the General Business Law, so as to make its provisions more enforceable. Specifically, the bill establishes that no itinerant vendor, except for a manufacturer, an authorized manufacturer's representative, or an authorized distributor, shall offer for sale baby food, non-prescription drugs, cosmetics, or batteries.
§ 1-Amends § 38 of the General Business Law to specifically define the following items -- baby food, non-prescription drugs, cosmetics, and batteries -- as products that may not be sold in flea markets unless sold by a manufacturer, an authorized manufacturer's representative, or an authorized distributor.
§ 2-Effective date.
The itinerant vendor statute, which was adopted as Chapter 282, Laws of 1995, was originally enacted to curtail the sale of certain perishable, high-theft items through flea markets. The 1995 law focused on baby foods and over-the-counter drugs, as these were items that professional thieves were targeting to resell through flea markets and were products that were compromised when exposed to sunlight and heat. The need to tighten the definitions in General Business Law § 38 were brought to light when law enforcement officials in central New York encountered difficulties in halting the sale of stolen, non-prescription drugs because of the ambiguous definitions contained in the current law. The proposed bill will tighten the current statute by redefining baby foods and nonprescription drugs. It will further expand the statute to prevent the sale of cosmetics and batteries by itinerant vendors, as these products have become high-theft items among those engaged in organized retail theft and because many cosmetics are similarly affected by exposure to sunlight and heat and thereby pose a health risk. The illegal activity this bill aims to thwart differs from shoplifting in that shoplifters typically steal single items for their own use, whereas this bill addresses the multiple theft of products by career criminals who steal primarily to sell the stolen goods. These crimes are often committed to support other illegal activity involving drug use. Baby foods, non-prescription drugs, cosmetics and batteries are attractive to these criminals because they are small, easily concealed, and relatively expensive items. Prohibiting the sale of these products in flea markets will close an important outlet to these criminals, thereby making their theft less desirable. The public health concerns addressed by this bill and the need to support law enforcement efforts warrant passage of this measure.
2007-2008: Passed the Senate (S.4442/A.6462-a)
None to state.

Step 1: Get everything together
*A doll with a hollow plastic body
*A utility knife or box cutter
*A hot glue gun
*Sturdy scissors
*A plastic food container (from salsa, sour cream or something similar)
I admit though, maybe eating a little bit of dip once every few years isn't going to hurt a grown adult.
I onece burried my "my little ponies" and barbie dolls in the garden- ( witch was fine untill the gardner came ;] ;] )
I suppose its a new use for them. :D
It never amazes me the B.S. people spout on this site sometimes, always finding some way to criticize. There are many simple ways to contain the food and keep it away from the poison plastic baby flesh, it should not be an issue. If you like this idea, take it roll with it, adapt it however you feel fits your health concerns, and have fun.
Apart from feeling like I never really have anything to offer on Ibles, my main hesitation to post anything is reading all the doomsday gloom and negative comments.
I think this is a GREAT idea for halloween. Totally gross.
Anyways would have been even creeper if you made the doll look like an alien.
In the cavity you could place a dish of some kind for safety reasons. In the head you can make makeshift pics and or spoons that look like eye ball stocks and or crab claw like things so that you can prevent the double dipping by letting people serve them selves on little snack platters.
Maybe for the platters you can make them look like some weird alien scales. Maybe make them out of veggies so in the end people can eat them instead of you having more dishes to wash and or garbage to throw away. ;)

gasless ss mig?
An excerpt from this site;
MIG (metal inert gas) welding with an automatic electrode head, utilizing a shielding mixture of 75 percent argon and 25 percent carbon dioxide, was selected for joining the stainless-steel plates on the polished side only. Nondestructive testing with spot X-ray was used to check the welding both in the shop and in the field. Electrolytic cleaning removed the halos on the stainless steel caused by heat from welding.
I've always just used my 75-25 mix for mig welding ss... with good structural results. Appearance was a bit lacking though. the beads form nicely but appear rather dark and sooty looking. Also I've used ss rod for stick welding. It works good and is very easy to weld with.

The AQHA Office is closed Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day.
October 30, 2011
In the richest race of the night at Los Alamitos, Favorite Cartel came through to capture the $353,500 Bank of America Challenge Championship (G1) by a neck over favored Rylees Boy. The 4-year-old stallion by Favorite Trick (TB) battled for the lead throughout the 440-yard race before stopping the timer at :21.501 under jockey Ramon Sanchez.
"The outside horses got in a little bit of trouble but my horse had a clean break and no traffic," said trainer Paul Jones, who also co-owns Favorite Cartel with R.D. Hubbard, Jim Helzer and Thompson Racing Inc. "He ran a beautiful race; this horse loves 440."
Sent off as the 7-2 second choice, Favorite Cartel qualified to the race by winning the Bank of America Los Alamitos Championship Challenge (G2) in August. The California-bred has been a frequent Grade 1 competitor and qualified to the All American Futurity and Derby, Rainbow Futurity and Derby and Los Alamitos Super Derby, but this is his first Grade 1 victory. He improved his record to 23-9-2-4 with earnings of $583,069.
Favorite Cartel was bred by Jones and Terry Thompson's Thompson Racing Inc. out of the winning Corona Cartel mare Shenoshercorona, who is also the dam of stakes winner Shescheckinumout and stakes-placed Hes Regal.
"We got so lucky," said Thompson. "It was my first Grade 1 race and I had tears in my eyes. This is for my grandpa who died two weeks ago."
The victory earned Favorite Cartel a berth in the $750,000 Champion of Champions (G1) on December 10 at Los Alamitos, and he'll have a new co-owner for that race.
"A deal has just been finalized in which Dr. Steve Burns has purchased 50 percent ownership of the horse from R.D. Hubbard and Jim Helzer," said trainer Paul Jones after the race. "It's a done deal and Dr. Burns now owns half of the horse, Thompson Racing owns 25 percent and I own 25 percent. Favorite Cartel will stand at Burns Ranch in 2012 and you can print that in big, bold headlines."
Gerardo Ochoa-Pena's Rylees Boy, the 6-5 favorite, closed strongly to finish second. The gelding by Heza Motor Scooter has hit the board in each of his last 24 starts, and his victories this year include the Bank of America Sunland Championship Challenge (G2) and Remington Park Invitational Championship (G1). The one-time $6,250 claimer has now banked nearly $680,000.
J K Running Horses LLC's Jess A Runner, who had been racing in Iowa and Minnesota, closed to take third.
Kool Cade, Spit Curl Diva, Shining First Dash, Vodka With Ice, Acorn, Devon Dat Cash, What I Want and Stolis Winner completed the field.

CLARINDA — The Creston boys track team, still not competing in three events, finished a strong fourth place in the team standings here Friday at the Clarinda Cardinals Relays.
Glenwood won the meet in Class 3A with 160.5 points, as Harlan finished second with 104 points. Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln just edged out Creston for third place by a 78-74 advantage.
"An awesome night at Clarinda for everyone involved with the team," head coach Pat Schlapia said. "Over 30-some schools represented in three classes. Very blustery conditions, as we had some pretty strong winds the whole night. We didn't let that stop us. We just adapted."
Schlapia was impressed with how his team competed in the meet, posting impressive marks in several events.
Senior Briar Evans got the Panthers off to a good start by winning the high jump, clearing a career-best height of 6-2.
"He had a pretty good rhythm going in the high jump against some stiff competition," Schlapia said.
Sophomore Jay Wolfe made a splash in his season debut in the 400 meter dash, winning the event with a clocking of 52.85.
Wolfe doubled up by winning the 800 meter run , as well. Wolfe won that event in 2:02.52.
"He was pushed by (Jeff) Reeves of Glenwood," Schlapia said. "Jay showed a nice kick off the last curve. He ran his first negative splits of the year, 62-60."
Brandon Phipps brought home the Panthers' fourth and final gold medal of the meet, winning the 3,200 meter run in a time of 10:34.83.
"He is still making progress," Schlapia said of Phipps, who is coming off a calf injury. "Pretty windy conditions for eight laps affects the time."
Silver medals
Creston also had two second-place finishes on Friday, with senior Luke Neitzel placing second in the long jump and the 4x400 relay team also bringing home a silver medal.
The 4x400 relay team of Bryce Briley, Evans, Maxx Walters and Jay Wolfe clocked a time of 3:32.84.
Briley, Evans and Walters each split in the 53s, while Wolfe anchored in a 51.88.
"It was our best time of the season," Schlapia said. "It's an improvement from Glenwood by close to two and a half seconds. We finished second to Harlan. This race really brought the crowd to their feet. This race will play out a few more times this season."
Neitzel jumped 20-1 in the long jump to secure second place, for one of three medals he earned on Friday.
Neitzel also medaled in the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash, placing fifth and fourth, respectively.
"He had a nice time in his two open sprints," Schlapia said. "He broke through the medal column for the first time this season in these two events."
Evans finished the night with four medals, also finishing third in the 400 meter hurdles with a season-best time of 58.37 and also competing on the fifth-place shuttle hurdle relay team that also included Walters, Jake Johnston and JD Routh.
The 4x800 relay team of Briley, Travis Miller, Kruz Adamson and Wolfe finished fourth in 9:08.46.
"These relays getting fourth and fifth are great examples of what we talk about with the nickles and dimes add up to dollars in the team points," Schlapia said. "That showed in the standings."
Junior varsity
The Creston JV team competed in the Class 1A division.
Highlighting the JV performances, Schlapia said, was junior Evan Nielsen placing sixth in the 3,200 meter run with a time of 12:24.
"With our varsity and junior varsity both, it was good to see the improvements in events we may not have placed in, but they still turned in season's bests. It's great to see the boys get after it and compete. Good things are happening now, and there's great things ahead of us."
Creston returns to action Tuesday at Chariton.
