Chu decision may shed light on future of KMT power structure
By Adam Tyrsett Kuo ,The China Post June 4, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
As the rumor mill continues to turn, incumbent New Taipei Mayor Eric Chu has yet to announce whether he will be seeking re-election, despite the nine-in-one polls coming up soon at year's end.
It is possible that Chu has his sights set on the presidency in 2016, which would explain why — the mayoral election being less than six months away — he hasn't announced a re-election bid. What politician wouldn't entertain the possibility of becoming head of state?
Forfeiting the mayoral election is necessary if Chu wants to run in the 2016 presidential race, because the electorate is not likely to look too favorably on a mayor who quits his job halfway to fulfill greater ambitions.
Indeed, rumor has it that Chu may step away from this year's election and be appointed as premier instead; that is, if he reaches an agreement with his party.
If he were to run for president, Chu would need to stay politically relevant, and being premier would help ensure that. That being said, there hasn't been a precedent in Taiwan of premiers going on to win the Presidential Office, though not for a lack of trying.
Local media have even speculated that the Kuomintang (KMT) headquarters has arranged for current Premier Jiang Yi-huah and Chu to swap positions, meaning that Jiang will run for New Taipei in Chu's stead.
Although Jiang has never run in an election, the odds of him winning the race — though slim — are not entirely nonexistent, given that there are doubts over the rival candidate's chances of securing a victory.
Criticism of former Premier Yu Shyi-kun's running for New Taipei has emerged within the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP); some claim that Yu lacks "charisma," while others have gone as far as to say that he won the nomination because of a behind-the-scenes arrangement with former DPP Chairman Su Tseng-chang, who only recently stepped down. Groundless as the claims might seem, one has to consider the fact that during the previous New Taipei election, the DPP fielded Tsai Ing-wen, who is charismatic and enjoys a great deal of popularity, and lost.
Although elections in Greater Taipei have traditionally been regarded as an uphill battle for the DPP, New Taipei is arguably less of a pan-blue stronghold than Taipei, and if one considers the awkward position that New Taipei-based KMT politicians are in, due to the administration's position on the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant, the DPP may have a better chance of winning this year.
If one were given to believing rumors, Chu has made up his mind to run for president. The problem is the arrangements that need to be made. Political commentators say that Chu is planning to let his deputy, Hou Yu-ih, run for mayor; however, that still leaves open the question of how Chu intends to remain relevant for the next two years. Staying in the limelight is important if not necessary. Former Taiwan Governor James Soong declared his retirement from politics in 2006 and stayed more or less under the radar until years later, which didn't exactly help his bid for the Presidential Office despite the seemingly immense popularity he enjoyed in the past.
If Chu doesn't run in this year's race, a new structure of power will likely emerge within the KMT, with Chu and Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin facing off against each other for the Presidential Office.

So, Bismarck-Henning's football team is 0-4.
Don't tell Salt Fork coach Brian Plotner that his state-ranked and undefeated squad could have an easy time this week against the Blue Devils.
"They've played outstanding competition," Plotner said. "To be 0-4 is not an indicator of how good they are."
B-H opened with back-to-back games against St. Thomas More and Villa Grove, schools that enter Week 5 with a combined 7-1 record.
Then, B-H played Milford and Westville, both of whom are 2-2 though Milford lost a one-point decision in its opener and Westville was ranked fourth in the preseason state Class 2A poll.
"This (B-H) is a team very capable of being .500 with a different schedule," Plotner said. "The (Ian) Marx-(Brian) Clapp tandem is as good as most we'll see."
Both of the Blue Devils' primary ball carriers are seniors. Marx has averaged 111 yards rushing the past three games. Clapp is averaging more than 100 all-purpose yards per game when rushing and receiving are combined with kick returns.
Sophomore Kyle Lamm has been the receiving headliner. He is the only Blue Devil with pass receptions in every game. Overall, he has caught seven passes for 137 yards.
The Blue Devils are coming off a 42-14 loss to Westville. Clapp had a season-high 13 tackles and freshman Reed Collins was in on nine stops.
Plotner hopes this week isn't the one where his prediction about the Blue Devils comes true: "They'll win games this season," he said.
Salt Fork
A short pass from quarterback J.D. Learnard to end Sean Nicholson turned into one of the game's biggest plays last week when the Storm broke open a scoreless game in the third quarter en route to beating Milford 16-0.
"It was a short route that turned into a big score (92 yards)," Plotner said.
Salt Fork needed the passing game to be efficient since injuries sidelined the team's top two senior rushers and the four leading ball carriers against the Bearcats were all freshmen or sophomores.
Cody Davis gained 69 yards, Brandon Dixon had 49 yards and scored a TD, Kye Draper had 14 yards and Drew York added 11 yards. Dixon is the lone freshman in the otherwise all-sophomore group.
Plotner said "it's up in the air" whether backs Matt Ford or Chet Moreland will be available for Friday's 7 p.m. game at B-H.
Having a backup like Davis as the featured fullback is not all bad, Plotner said.
"We feel like we have three who can start," he said. "A kid like Cody would start somewhere (else)."
Learnard passed for a season-high 260 yards last week, his third game this season above 160 yards.
Cody Nicholson had 11 tackles and Caleb Williams 10 against Milford. Despite playing with a bruised shin suffered a week earlier, Cody Nicholson had a team-high four tackles for loss.
Defense was an area of emphasis this week at practice.
"We were not sound in our pass coverage," Plotner said. "We had some defensive breakdowns that could have caused the score to be significantly different."
There will be a guaranteed first-time winner at Danville's Drummy Field on Friday. What needs to be resolved is whether it will be the hometown Hilltoppers or the visiting Hoopeston Area Cornjerkers, both of which are 0-4 this season.
The schools have had two common opponents since Vermilion Valley Conference play began. Oakwood/Armstrong-Potomac defeated Schlarman 53-0 two weeks ago. Last Friday, O/A-P beat Hoopeston 52-0.
Schlarman is coming off a 47-7 setback to Georgetown-Ridge Farm last week. The previous week, G-RF beat Hoopeston Area 8-0.
Vinnie Miller did a little bit of everything for the Hilltoppers vs. G-RF. In his first game as the starting tailback, he rushed for 132 yards, he caught four passes for 62 yards, he threw a 37-yard pass to Kyle Golden and defensively, the safety was in on a team-high 15 tackles.
"Vinnie and Steven Kutz are my two mainstays right now," Schlarman coach Jay Willaman said.
Kutz had 14 tackles and rushed for 56 yards on 10 carries.
Miller was shifted from wideout to the backfield, Willaman said, because "people were doubling up on him and trying to take him out of the game."
The Hilltoppers will likely be without starting nosetackle Mike Callahan for the remainder of the season. He is a senior who suffered a knee injury against the Buffaloes.
"He had done a fantastic job," Willaman said.
As Schlarman tries to rebuild its passing attack, senior James Cook will move from the line to a wideout position. Sophomore Mallory Lampkin, who started at tailback for three games but sat out last week, will also line up as a receiver.
Solomon Crenshaw, who had been out with a rib injury, is another prime pass-catching candidate.
At one time last week, Willaman had four sophomores and three freshmen on the field. Two of the ninth-graders were linemen.
"The future of the program is fantastic," Willaman said. "I feel sorry for the seniors who went through the (JV) program last year and stayed with me. The biggest thing is trying to get a win for those kids.
"Hoopeston is probably the most winnable game we've had this year."
Hoopeston Area
Cornjerker coach Jeff Ohlemeyer is also changing personnel due to injuries. Starting quarterback Tate Compton suffered a concussion last week and Ohlemeyer said, "I'd be surprised if he is cleared to play," against the Hilltoppers.
His backup is freshman Wes Rush who completed 5 of 22 passes for 46 yards in his varsity debut.
His completion totals were deceiving, Ohlemeyer said.
"We had at least six (passes) that were right in the breast plate that we dropped," he said.
After falling behind O/A-P 45-0 at halftime last week, the coach made wholesale changes defensively.
"We made major adjustments, mostly based on attitude," he said. "We played the JV defense the entire second half."
One of those players, freshman noseguard Matt Watson, had a team-high nine tackles. Sophomore Tyler Selsor finished with seven stops.
They've put themselves in position for increased game action.
"Matt will start and Tyler will see more significant playing time," Ohlemeyer said. "They earned that with their performance last week."
An offensive bright spot for the Cornjerkers last week was end Jason Leigh, who had his fourth straight multiple-catch game. He hauled in four passes for 27 yards.
The outlook at Hoopeston is similar to what exists this week at Schlarman.
"We feel good about this week," Ohlemeyer said.
Two of the VVC's hottest teams will do battle on Friday in Oakwood when the Comets play host to Georgetown-Ridge Farm.
Each school started 0-2, but is riding a two-game winning streak. Friday's winner will be no worse than in a tie for first in the conference and could be the outright leader if Salt Fork would stumble at B-H.
The similarities are such that O/A-P coach Gary Denhart told his players, "You're looking in the mirror this week. They're coming in here with the same outlook and the same enthusiasm."
After his team's most recent victory, Denhart said, "I'm about as satisfied as I can be."
The preparation for the game against Hoopeston was exemplary, he said.
"There wasn't any complacency," Denhart said. "We had a great week of practice. I was so impressed with both sides of our line."
Among the line standouts were Jacob McGlaughlin, making his second start.
The sophomore caught the attention of the coaching staff in a Week 1 loss at Arthur.
"When someone got hurt, I said, 'Hey, I need a lineman,' and he sprinted on the field," Denhart said. "I had to ask, 'Who was that?'
"Anybody who takes that initiative has made a spot for himself."
Injured linemen such as Ray Withers and Zach Weddle are back in action. Blake Warren, who didn't start last week, "went in the second series and never came out of the game at defensive tackle," Denhart said.
Senior Brady Leeman has scored 54 points the past two games, 12 on conversion kicks following TDs.
Corey Pankow had six tackles and J Sutton four to lead the defensive effort against Hoopeston. Ryan Robertson picked off two passes. Leeman and Sutton had one interception apiece.
Georgetown-Ridge Farm
Senior Aaron Williams had two interceptions last week against Schlarman - both of which he returned for touchdowns - and earned a prominent spot in the school's all-time record book. Only one former Buffalo (Don Cash in 1984 vs. Westville) had more interceptions in a game (three).
Williams also had a third defensive score, taking a fumble 6 yards to the end zone.
G-RF coach Jason Baccadutre sees this week's game as one of the key ones for the Buffaloes.
"A lot might determine who goes to the playoffs and who doesn't," Baccadutre said.
Williams wasn't alone in excelling on the defensive side last week.
Eric Hepburn had a team-high 11 tackles and a trio of Buffaloes (Zack Digby, Ross Olson and Chase Vire) had nine stops apiece.
Robert Parker and Alex Pratt also intercepted passes and Brandon Herrin had a fumble recovery.
"The kids are finally getting confident, having fun and playing with a little emotion," Baccadutre said. "Football is an emotional sport and we can ride that.
"Knowing that they can is half the battle. They have to get mentally confident in themselves and they will be fine."
In his second game as the starting quarterback, Parker rushed for a career-high 168 yards and had his top passing performance, 81 yards.
"He is a great little player," Baccadutre said.
The Tigers snapped their first two-game losing streak since 2005 - when the team also started 1-2 - by virtue of the 42-14 victory over Bismarck-Henning last week.
Coach Guy Goodlove had high hopes entering the Week 4 game.
"By far, it was our best week of practice," he said.
He said that sophomore Matt Maser is entrenched as the quarterback and when Dustin Billings returns from a four-game suspension in another week, he'll be worked into the lineup as a receiver.
"Dustin is a great athlete, but it's best to keep Matt there and move forward," Goodlove said. "Dustin is 6-foot-4 and will be tough to guard."
Maser has completed 18 of 32 passes with just one interception in three games. He has thrown for 404 yards.
"Matt is continually getting better," Goodlove said. "He's a double threat who throws a nice ball and it's like having a third running back in there. Do you take the pass away or do you play against the run? That presents defenses a tough challenge."
Sophomore Brandon Pratt had 200 yards rushing and 85 yards on pass receptions last week. Five of the 16 times he touched the ball, he scored TDs.
"He has the ability to make so many things happen," Goodlove said. "He reads his blocks and is able to cut off of his blockers. He is very quick and has the ability to make tacklers miss."
Westville will play at Milford on Friday in a showdown of teams with 2-2 season records.
"Milford has some athletes who are tough and not afraid of contact," Goodlove said. "We'll have to keep the pressure on."
Westville's top tacklers last week were Dusty Zaayer (11) and Pratt (eight).
"We're seeing the old Dusty we saw last year," Goodlove said. "He is starting to settle into a groove. He played his best game."
The Bearcats had plenty of positives last week, despite the 16-0 loss to Salt Fork.
Three Bearcats had at least 40 yards rushing. Three squad members completed passes and five players had receptions.
"We would move the ball, but it just so happened that we had three key drops (potential receptions) in one game," head coach Nate Albaugh said. "If we get any of those, it's a different game.
"If you were watching as a fan, it was a heck of a game. As the coach on the other side, it was hard to swallow."
Albaugh has been trying to convince his team that they are capable of playing with the elite teams in the VVC. Friday's game, he said, was a significant step forward.
"The positive is that they see those kind of comments are not lip service," Albaugh said. "They now believe it themselves."
Just in time. The Bearcats play their homecoming game against an opponent (Westville) which was state ranked in the preseason and is still getting votes in the Class 2A poll.
"This is big-time varsity football in the state of Illinois," he said. "Two great teams back-to-back. They're learning how you prepare. We're really working hard.
"We want to beat a great football team. We had a chance last week, but didn't get it. We have another chance this week."
Milford has a question at quarterback. Trevor Lucht is coming off his first 100-yard passing performance (103 yards), but suffered a sprained ankle in the game.
"He is still limping, but we're preparing as if he will be healthy," Albaugh said. "As of right now, all systems are go."
Jordan Scherf, who had a team-high 67 receiving yards last week, also led the Bearcats in tackling with 10. Junior Kristopher Evans had eight stops.

California and the SAT: A Reanalysis of University of California Admissions Data
As part of the University of California's recent reconsideration of the role of the SAT in admissions, the UC Office of the President published an extensive report, UC and the SAT (2001), which examined the value of SAT I Reasoning Test scores, SAT II Subject Test scores, and high school grades in predicting the grade-point averages of UC freshmen (UCGPA), as well as the role of economic factors in predicting UCGPA. The analyses in UC and the SAT were based primarily on data that had been aggregated across freshmen cohorts (1996 through 1999) and across UC campuses. In the current study, by contrast, data were analyzed within campuses and cohorts and then summarized. While some of our conclusions are similar to those in UC and the SAT, others are not. Like the earlier study, for example, our reanalyses showed that, considered collectively, the SAT II tests required by UC (Writing, Math, and a third test of the applicant's choice) are slightly superior to the SAT I as a predictor of UCGPA. But our reanalyses also revealed considerable variability across campuses and freshman cohorts in the predictive value of high school grades and test scores, which was masked in the earlier analyses. Also, our reanalyses did not support the conclusion in UC and the SAT that SAT II scores are "less sensitive" to socioeconomic factors than SAT I scores, an assertion that was often repeated during the SAT debate that took place in 2001 and 2002.

Scion has chosen Speedway Blue for its latest Release Series special, the 2010 tC Release Series 6.0 (tC RS 6.0), that should start speeding into dealerships in March. Gotta say, we're digging the blue a whole lot more than the electric lilac color that they chose for the xB RS 7.0 that debuted in Los Angeles. This latest RS will land at the Chicago Auto Show this week, and will be limited to just 1,100 units stickering at $18,620 with a stick, or $19,420 with an automatic.
Like prior RS limited edition models, the tC RS 6.0 gets its bespoke hue and a host of other tweaks, including a matte-black vinyl graphic that's pure muscle car. In fact, it reminds us of the popular Mustang tone and a certain Challenger from the Dodge boys, although we wouldn't recommend lining up against either of those with this Scion's untouched 161-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine.
Besides the paint and graphics, this particular RS package also includes bright blue highlights on the seats and steering wheel, a specially tuned 200-watt Alpine audio system with iPod/USB jack, and a 4.3-inch GPS touch screen. More details in the press release after the jump and check out the high-res images in the gallery below.

"True Beauty" premieres Monday, May 31 at 10 p.m. on ABC. It's the second season of the show that has beautiful contestants thinking they are vying to be the new face of Las Vegas and a $100,000 prize. But they are really being judged on how beautiful they are on the inside. Zap2it caught up with judges Beth Ostrosky and Carson Kressley to dish about the new season.
The show is set in Las Vegas and it sounds like Vegas is almost a character in and of itself. "It's bright, it's energetic, it's Las Vegas. The contestants are drinking, they're partying, they're in bikinis, they're all beautiful," Beth gushes.
"It's excessive," Carson deadpans, then cracks up. "They're there to win $100,000 and be in People magazine and be what they think is the face of Vegas. Being in that environment just upped the ante," he continues.
So what kind of things can we expect to see the contestants doing? How do you judge someone's inner beauty?
"We really upped the ante on the challenges. One was an opportunity when they could shoplift in a store to gain an advantage in one of their challenges," Carson tells us.
"And they did it!" exclaims Beth
"One [challenge] there's a pregnant woman — who is not really pregnant, she's one of our actresses — who is having a cocktail and smoking a cigarette. You're standing in the elevator, it's just the two of you, would you say something?" Carson asks. "Or one challenge is would you stop a drunk driver? We had an actor who is obviously inebriated and is getting into a car with a six pack."
Sounds like the stakes are a bit higher this season. And how did those kind of situations affect the judges?
"You're questioning your own agenda. Would you have stopped to help or made a comment?" Beth says.
"Beth and I took the job because there is some heart there. Hopefully when people watch the show, you'll be more aware of your behavior," adds Carson. " I know that we were. We thought we were being punked the whole time."

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Are Parents of Twins
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are now parents to twin babies, arriving as the perfect gift for their fourth wedding anniversary Saturday.
Carey's representative confirmed that the singer gave birth to a girl and a boy at 9:07am at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles. The girl was born first and weighs 5lbs., 3oz. The boy was born second and weighs 5lbs., 6oz. The couple has yet to name the children.
Carey was calm on her drive to the hospital, thinking it was only a false alarm as she had gone through a false labor previously, according to Carey's rep.
The couple is expected to renew their wedding vows this Sunday as part of their weekend anniversary celebration.

Strong winds, with at least one unofficially reported 51 mph gust on Lake Wateree, blew through Kershaw County early Tuesday morning, knocking down trees in some areas, limbs onto power lines and even causing a couple of accidents.

North Central High School has announced its honor rolls for the third nine-week period.
With a forecast for inclement weather this week, the Kershaw County Special Olympics has been rescheduled from Friday to April 21.
The pilot killed when his Piper PA-20 crashed in Elgin early Friday afternoon has been positively identified as Wolfgang Buergel, 71, of East Aurora, N.Y., a rural community located about 15 to 20 miles southeast of Buffalo, N.Y.
A small, single engine plane headed to an air festival in Lakeland, Fla., from Amherst, N.Y., crashed into a wooded area along Larry Jeffers Road near Elgin just before 2 p.m. Friday, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Amherst is part of the greater Buffalo, N.Y., metropolitan area.
Camden Mayor Jeffrey Graham, City Manager Kevin Bronson, City Economic Development Director Wade Luther and Sheriff Jim Matthews have all agreed to be "celebrity" dunking booth "victims" for the second annual City Slickers Car Show & Fund Raiser for Relay for Life Saturday.
North Central High School (NCHS) was the recipient of a $5,000 gift from the International Paper Foundation. The money is being used to purchase reading materials for classrooms and the NCHC Media Center in order to enhance literacy across the curriculum initiative. Principal Worth Thomasson (right) said the International Paper Foundation made it possible for the school to benefit its students by encouraging them to read on a daily basis. Thomasson accepted the check on behalf of the school from International Paper representative Tim Boone (left).
Proud fathers and excited daughters were dressed to impress when Midway Elementary School's cafeteria was transformed into a ballroom for the school's recent Father/Daughter Dance. The event was sponsored by the Student Council and the Relay for Life Committee. Here, Katelyn Anderson dances with her father, Mike Anderson.
The 11th fastest growing county of South Carolina's 46 counties is Kershaw, according to Bruce Mills with the Santee-Lynches Council of Governments.

Men's and Ladie's Wranglers
4 Attachment(s)
I have a couple pairs of wranglers. The first are ladies premium patch, size 1/2 X 32. Style #09MWZAM. Bought them brand new, wore them about 2 hours (and they were washed), they are just too tight on my waist.
Men's paid is used. 35 X 36, style # 936DEN. No rips, stains, or anything.
I'm asking $10 a pair.
Thats men's pair, not paid haha
How tall are you? I'm just wondering if the 32 is long enough for me. I tried some on before but I can't remember how they fit :(
I'm 5'4", but have really long legs and a short torso

connection manager re-inits an existing nsITimer when it is needed and it is not currently running. However that timer's target is the socket thread at the time of timer creation, and if we have gone offline and back online since that creation that thread no longer exists and therefore the timer events never run.
This might explain why the keep-alive code that should at least repair the bug associated with 739522 didn't have that effect.

Good catch.
You may do this in EnsureSocketThreadTargetIfOnline. This is done unnecessarily on every tick.

> unnecessarily on every tick.
fwiw as posted it is assigned not on every tick, but every initialization of the timer. (so every quiescent/reactivation cycle). but you're right that it can be less.
EnsureSocketThreadTargetIfOnline confuses me a bit.. there is no point in it where an offline/online transition is noted. Once init'd mSocketThreadTarget never changes (though the real thread it applies to does because it is really a qi of the socket transport service).
which leads me to the right change (attached), just setTarget the timer to be mSocketThreadTarget once when it is created rather than allowing the default nsTimerImpl code to set the current thread explicitly as the target. mSocketThreadTarget will be updated to the right thread that way as the STS reinits. There isn't a concern about using it when its offline.

> Good catch.
I wish I could say I knew it was a problem - the truth is I was trouble shooting another issue and had to answer the question of why my timer tick obviously wasn't running :)

This is one of a two patch series (bug 744788 and bug 738812) that should be accepted or declined for aurora atomically.
We've only seen this orange on FF14, but it can happen on FF13. The reason it is more prominent on 14 is the timer event is much more frequent there due to the pipelining changes introduced on 14, but the same timer is used by spdy on 13.
[Approval Request Comment]
Regression caused by (bug #): 728113
User impact if declined: potential crash risk during offline or shutdown

I loved the story line. I am a huge fan of anything to do with the Zodiacs but I am not an avid reader of the horoscopes in the journal. I like the whole concept and story about the cat and the rat. It was quite interesting. Another quality I loved about the book was the romance. It wasn't overwhelming but it wasn't boring either. It was always exciting to some degree. I think others will like it but I know others won't. I am not a huge romantic or a huge emotional person but this manga is one of my favorites and it almost made me cry. :3

I have listed a new property at Moloney Acreage in Aberdeen.
Unique acreage opportunity... great value! This quarter section of land is separately titled as two 80 acre parcels. The house was built in 2010 and is one of the most unique that you'll find... from the outside, it appears to be a hip roof barn, but inside the house is modern and inviting. Features include a spacious kitchen, open main floor layout, three bedrooms and a full basement. Some finishing in the house is required. Outbuildings include a metal cladded shed and 22' x 36' shop with infloor heat, 10' ceiling and 220 plug. The land is comprised of gentle rolling topography and clumps of trees. The owner states that there are gravel deposits on the land. Located approximately 4.5 miles North East of Aberdeen and only 20 minutes from Saskatoon.

RARE Vintage 1968 HemisFair '68 Worlds Fair Travel Souvenir Charm San Antonio Texas
This vintage charm is marked HemisFair 68 on the back and measures approximately 1 inch tall including the bail. The charm is unmarked for content and untested.
This is a rare souvenir charm for:
HemisFair '68- the official 1968 World's Fair held in San Antonio, Texas, from April 6 through October 6, 1968. The fair was held in 1968 to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the founding of San Antonio in 1718.
The theme character of the fair was a dragon named Luther created by Sid and Marty Krofft, who was later renamed and starred in the Krofft's Saturday morning show H.R. Pufnstuf. The main premise of the television show H.R. Pufnstuf was taken from their production for the Coca-Cola pavilion at the fair. – From WikipediaThis item may be available in our Etsy Store

Wherever he goes and whatever he does, Travis Pastrana always manages to create some media buzz. In this case, he's stirred up some media and actual audible buzz by not only choosing to race in Red Bull Straight Rhythm -- his first pro motocross race since 2009 -- but also opting to do it on a 500cc two-stroke.
The Open Class for Straight Rhythm is just that: open. So, why not run with as much power as possible? With no turns, Pastrana's strategy with his RM-Zilla could prove to be a threat this weekend, and in the video above, you can see that he still has plenty of Supercross bike skills.
Practice and qualifying gets underway on Friday, October 3. We'll see how TP199's ride will stack up against a field of 450cc four-strokes. Of course, the big day for Straight Rhythm will be Saturday, October 4 and all of the action can be caught in person or over the live stream.
For all event, ticketing, and live stream information, head over to Red Bull Straight Rhythm.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good Price, nice tracking, mediocre product for anglers I am an experienced kayak angler. I purchased this kayak because I wanted a new one. The sale put it at the right price point. It tracks very well, but the cockpit is a little narrow. There isn't a lot of storage, so I wanted to use an anglers crate (milk crate). There is also NO WAY to strap on and level a crate on the back of this kayak. The grooves built into the kayak's in the rear indeed compartment don't match anything. Even with the floating compartment on the back, you can't make a crate work.I wanted an anglers kayak. This is nice for simply going for a ride, but I do not recommend it for a functional anglers rig.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Not perfect. I am pretty new to kayaking and have a couple of sundolphin journey 12 foot sit on tops. I found this one to immediately be a little tippier than I was used to and the front end has a mind of its own. The kayak has great storage and is gorgeous to look at. I added a high back seat to it as a throw in and 5 hours later down a river my back and behind were in great shape so it is a comfortable ride. I wouldn't recommend it to beginners because I tried out my friend's and they are slightly more stable and have better tracking. Someone with some experience will find that they work just fine.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great beginners kayak I bought two of these about 18 months ago when I became interested in kayaking. These are great beginner kayaks. Very stable with a roomy cockpit. IMO this boat is meant to be a day tripper as storage is minimal and pushing the hull through the water for more than three to four hours becomes taxing. Boat tracks straight so no need for a rudder. Have done up to 11 miles with a midway point break with no problem. Seat back adjustment is great. Seat bottom gets a little stiff after about two hours. Fixed that with a foam gardener's kneeling pad from HD or Lowes. As I have found I like kayaking I am moving on to a longer and narrower boat but at 3 times the price as this one. Point is I would have hated to buy the bigger boat first to discover kayaking was not for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Just bought the Eagle Run kayak, and I LOVE IT!!! I just bought the Eagle Run kayak on sale for $427.00. I was looking at getting the Old Town Guide 119 canoe for fishing and hauling all my gear, but Dick's Sporting Goods no longer had the canoe, so I went with this kayak, and I'm glad I did! It has enough storage for my stuff, and it's fairly comfortable. I've heard some complaints about the foot pegs and the seat, but if you're in a kayak long enough, your butt is gonna get sore after a while. (it's a KAYAK, not a sofa!) I took it for it's "maiden voyage" yesterday. The temperature was around 38 degrees, and it tracked very well and was really stable, even in rough water. I didn't fish from it yet...I just couldn't wait to try her out. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. I've been kayaking for about 25-30 years now so I feel I can make an honest review on this kayak. The hull may not be as thick as other kayaks (I have a Perception Swiftwater 10.5) but if you're careful, and don't drag it around, it should last ya a long time. The weight isn't too bad, so carrying it would be my advice! If you're "on the fence" about buying this kayak, DON'T BE...BUY IT...YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! Can't wait to fish out of this thing!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great kayak ! Easy to fish from ,very stable ,enough room for gear ,very easy to paddle doesn't take much to paddle around the lake. Only issue is the seat ,the back rest is fine but after a couple hours my tailbone starts to hurt. Just put a 1 inch foam pad cut out for your tailbone to sit on and it's fine. Or we just get out and stretch once in awhile. Would highly recommend

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from My first kayak I've read MANY reviews on this specific kayak and am by no means a Profesional or seasoned kayaker, but with that being said I love my kayak! A lot of people say they have had issues with the foot legs, mine seem solid even after 5 long uses, the removable storage is amazing! Yes it's hard to get to when your out, but I always go with somone so we just go side by side and they have easy access! The yak is 60lbs which feels like a bit much, being so long it's easier with 2 people, but one can do it fairly easy. The material is plastic and he's, the bottom does scuff, I drive mine on to the shore when docking and the dozen times I've done it there's minimal scuffing, you would have to hit some concrete or seriously sharp pointed rocks to cause real damage, which if you do, your an idiot lol. I am 6'5" 310lbs and this floats great! I can maneuver very easy and have no problems getting in and out. The seat is a little shorter than I would like for my height, the cup holder on the seat barely passes my fellas. The one thing I wish this had was a better dash, I can't even put a phone up there, and the cup holder barely holds a can, any bump and it will be on me or in the lake. Overall very satisfied for a first kayak, 4 stars just because of the material being a little thinner than I think it should and a failed dash design.

Dial back to 2003 and the "Global Underground 025 – Toronto" launch party. Ten hours of Deep Dish in an epic environment of clubbing utopia. The only highlight to rival the world-class performance of Dubfire is the marathon dance session on the go-go stand by the girl in the blue dress.
Weeks later we schedule a meet-up at System Soundbar with one the most enthusiastic and consistent names on our guest list, Lisa Sant. We situate at the back bar and who do we lock eyes with… littlemissbluedress!! Our underground lives are never the same again.
This over-the-top club chick becomes one of the most informed enthusiasts of the progressive style we'll ever meet. Her passion for the little known and groove-infused made Lisa the ideal candidate to work alongside in our first exclusive series, In Demand; a movement to introduce under-the-radar artists to the world. The music below speaks for itself, but it's Lisa's unique interview format, 'Inside the IM with littlemissbluedress' that makes this collection incredibly special.
Lisa has since moved on to global success within the underground community. Currently based out of the Netherlands, Lisa continues to leave her mark throughout the industry, documenting her adventures on the Disco Around The World blog.

How Apple Could Build a Successful Electric Car Business
How Apple Could Build a Successful Electric Car BusinessApple started out years ago in the PC business but is now best known for music players and smartphones. Why couldn't it also revolutionize the car industry?
Apple Branding Is Absolutely NecessaryAn Apple car can only be successful if Apple's branding is on it. There is some talk that the company would build technology that would run in another company's car design, but that's a bad idea. The smart move would be to offer an Apple-branded vehicle to customers and try its luck in the vehicle industry. Anything short of that and Apple may not be able to succeed in the hotly contested market.
Make It an Electric VehicleThere will be no gas in a successful Apple car. Apple, after all, is in the computer and electronics business. It built its business on visionary technology and the company says it cares about the environment. There is no possible way the company can keep that reputation if it offers a gas-guzzling sedan. Apple's car must be an electric vehicle or the public will ignore it.
Self-Driving Technology Makes SenseApple has reportedly already started testing self-driving cars, so it would only make sense for the company to offer that option in any vehicle it eventually launches. Some of the top car brands in the world, including Mercedes-Benz and Toyota, are developing self-driving technology, so Apple's carwhich is likely years offshould follow suit.
Don't Make It an iOS-Only CarApple is well-known for making sure that its mobile devices and computer hardware only run with its operating systems. But that would be a bad idea in the car business. While Apple might naturally want the infotainment system in its brand-name car to run on iOS, the company should make it easy for other mobile operating systems, including Android, Windows and BlackBerry OS, to work with the cars, as well. To do otherwise would only limit an Apple car's sales and appeal.
Find Partners for Charging StationsOne of the most important aspects of building a full-fledged electric vehicle company is providing access to plenty of charging stations. As it did with Apple Pay, Apple must partner with third-party companies to install charging stations at convenient locations. The more charging stations it can deploy, the faster it can ramp up car sales. If there are no charging stations in key locations, Apple will be out of luck in the car business.
Have Genius Bars Ready for Car Service, SupportA major asset for Apple is its Genius Bar, a place where people can go to get their products fixed when they're broken. The issue with cars, however, is that vehicles aren't so easy to fix. That's where the Geniuses can help. Apple can enlist Geniuses to go to customer homes to fix problems, if necessary, or run outside the store if the cars can be brought to an Apple retail location. Even better, geniuses can hold classes with new customers, teaching them how to use all the gadgets in their cars.
A Design Only Jony Ive Can ConceiveIf Apple is to be successful in cars, the company must build a vehicle that's actually good looking. And as history has proven, Apple Chief Design Officer Jony Ive knows what he's doing when it comes to building good-looking innovative products. Apple should get Ive to design a car in the Apple style and make it one of the best-looking and most recognizable on the road. With Ive behind the design wheel, Apple would have a much better chance of success.
Apple Must Apply Its Design, Marketing and Sales Formula to Its CarsSteve Jobs taught the world one important lesson during the years he was Apple's CEO. There is a formula in Cupertino for building excitement around its products that makes people want to buy them. It's apparent that Apple is following that formula for its car initiative by maintaining tight official secrecy about the project, while perhaps discreetly dropping a few hints in alert ears to keep the rumor mills churning. If Apple is serious about getting into the car business, we may hear plans for another blockbuster product introduction in a year or two.
Sell Them in Apple Stores and OnlineApple already has retail locations around the world, and as Tesla has proven, selling cars online, is actually quite simple. Therefore, Apple should sell its cars both in-store and online. The car-buying premise would be identical to picking an iPhone. Customers choose the version they want and plunk down the cash or their credit information for a loan or lease. Building brick-and-mortar auto dealerships is a costly business that Apple shouldn't deal with. The company already has a retail brick-and-mortar infrastructure. It should use that to its advantage.
More Technical Know-How From TeslaTesla CEO Elon Musk claims he has stolen Apple engineers to help him build his electric cars, and now Apple is trying to get them back. The time has come for Apple to up the ante. Tesla knows what it's doing in cars and has built a big business from the ground up. Apple needs to hire away the best talent at Tesla and put them to work on Apple's own car.
The rumors about Apple developing a car won't end. It seems that every month there are new rumors with a bit more detail to Apple's purported auto development plans. Admittedly, Apple's getting into the car space may, at first blush, seem odd. But when one considers that the self-driving cars are the focus of a lot of research and development, including a project being carried out by arch-rival Google, it should be no surprise that Apple might decide to invest in its own program. Furthermore, with many billions in cash reserves, Apple can certainly afford to invest in electric and self-driving car technology. Making these cars work reliably requires more effort in developing the software code and electronics to control the vehicles than designing the auto hardware itself. For the past decade, Apple has watched the growth of Tesla Motors and reportedly believes that whatever that company can do, Apple can do at least as well. Apple started out 35 years ago in the PC business but is now best known for its music players and smartphones. Why couldn't it also revolutionize the car industry? Read on to find out what Apple must do to assemble a successful automobile business.

Dear Project of the Month-ers,
Here's what you've been up to:
July 2010 donations: $720 from 31 members Where it went: Support Amputee Soccer in Sierra Leone
In just one month, you provided the following for amputee soccer players: • One set of forearm crutches; • Education or a micro credit loan for two amputees; • Three uniforms; • Two soccer balls; and, • Two pairs of protective gloves to use with the forearm crutches.
This means that you have: • Improved self-confidence and self-esteem of amputees; • Improved the health of amputees; • Provided opportunities for economic self-sufficiency for amputees; • Fostered peace and rebuilding in Sierra Leone following years of devastating war; and, • Helped increase the acceptance of amputees in their society.
Thanks for making all that possible!
And what until you see what's in store for August, when you support: Restore Eye Sights to 500 Bangladeshis
Blindness is widespread in Gaibandha district in Bangladesh, where people are very poor. Karmirhath endeavors to provide surgery to correct cataracts and has already completed 40 operations and hope to do many more.
The impact is immense. The people who regain their eyesight become immediately productive, with one man reporting, "I am now able to go back to my profession of tailoring and earn livelihood for my family." Then there are the psychological gains for the patients and their families. One patient saw his two-years-old grandson for the first time thanks to the surgery,
We'll be in touch next month to let you know how your participation in Project of the Month made a difference in Bangladesh.
Sincerely, Mari

I recently tested my Nikkor 10-24 mm DX ultra wide angle zoom lens on my new Nikon D500 camera body, at the Palomar Observatory in Northern San Diego County, California, to determine if I would take this lens to India and Nepal for sweeping panoramic views of the Himalaya Mountain Range. This lens has proven to be tack sharp on the Nikon D500 and responds well to the low light capabilities of the camera. See the captions for the two photos I have posted for exposure information.
This excellent could be listed as a semi fisheye but isn't. Is an excellent slow lens with super wide angle capabilities for both distance landscape as well as fairly close up work all with minimal distortion. In these kinds of lenses you will of course see some curvature in the targer objects but are minimal considering the wide angle being used. As with most lenses that have a lens shade the hood or shade will have to be removed for the built in flash or even the external flash to cover the target image well but this is a small chore. I find this lens great for shots in a room where all subjects are captured, the zoom can be used to better frame any particular subject.
Is not a fast lens but quite reasonable for the price. Lens is quiet and does not creep. For me is an absolute to have this lens in my basic kit well worth the pricy investement.
I have been in love with the sky since memory, and nothing photographically captures the feelings of a special, expansive sky like this lens. Of course, I use the lens for more than sky pictures; but most images with this gem have at least a portion of that celestial metaphor for heaven. I almost purchased a fish-eye instead but am extremely pleased that I did not. The zoom range provides the flexibility to freeze a desired intersection of time and space in a more conventional lens length without having to switch lenses. The images are dramatic and crisp. Only minor vignetting is experienced when using a polarizing filter. This lens is worth every penny. It is a tool that creates joy in recalling or sharing a moment worth photographing.
I am very impressed with the performance of this lens. The detail and clarity are amazing. I do a lot if hiking and in the past I would only take my 18-200 VR but now I have to take this one as well. There is just no substitute for for that extra 8mm. The first day I had it out I shot some pictures of my buddies new boat and did not have a polarizer for it and was extremely impressed with the results. It also works really well indoors or shooting large groups of people. The only feature I wish it had is VR (I guess because I am really spoiled by this on my go to lens). This of course would change the price point.
In conclusion I would highly recommend this lens to anyone who is looking for a wide angle zoom.
I do part time real estate photography. Obviously a super wide angle is needed for those large rooms. I had read about a fair bit of distortion at the 10 and 12 area of the lens but it is minimal. On a D7000 the in camera editing almost eliminates any horizontal curving along the walls where they meet the ceiling. The in camera correction works so well that any post correction on Capture NX2 is not needed. On a large blown up photo it would be needed. The only time I am bothered by the curving effect at 10 to 12 mm is when I flip the camera around and shoot portrait orientation. It just seems to stand out more this way.
The color reproduction is very good when you nail the white balance.
Even in tricky mixed light conditions it focuses quickly and spot on. It is also very quiet. Vinneting is minimal at any setting.
You cannot use a built in flash as a large shadow is cast. Putting my sb700 on fixes this even if you use the top shoe. (I usually use the SB700 on a side mount bracket)
80% of my use for this lens is indoors but on a recent trip I used it for some wide outdoor landscapes and it was again A1 with little or no distortion.
Whether indoor or outdoor if you get to 14mm or more the distortion is a non issue.
Build quality seems excellent and it has a nice heavy solid feel.
This is my go-to lens. I don't have a walk-around-zoom-lens and the reason is because I have this lens. From landscape to close up still life and even portraits -- I enjoy using this lens. I can't complain about the sharpness because to me it is a very sharp lens. Distortion is fine and to be expected. This is my first UWA lens and has made my photography more enjoyable.
Build quality is great -- It feels really solid even after two years and many vacations. I would definitely buy it again. In the beginning I was considering the 12-24 f4 which is more expensive but the money I saved I got the 35mm 1.8 DX and another lens. Really happy with this lens and would definitely recommend it.
I've been very satisfied with the quality of photos I'm getting with the 10-24mm. Yes, there is distortion at the wide end, some of which can be rectified in pp, but it also can add a nice effect without the extreme results of a fisheye lens. Closeups are surprisingly good quality, with a very smooth bokeh if desired. The minimum aperture of f/29 provides great dof for creative landscapes. The AF is smooth, fast, and quiet. Your popup flash is practically unuseable with this lens, due to shadowing by the lens itself, but the SB900 works fine in the hotshoe, and of course off-camera. It is a crisp, clean, sharp lens that I'll use frequently for adding flair to otherwise normal shots.
If you like telling the story by filling the screen with foreground, subject, and background, you'll love this lens. If you do basic point and shoot, you'll hate this lens for the same reason: there is so much screen to fill.
This lens at 10mm gives about a 110 degree viewing angle, with no fish-eye effects. It does not offer the vibration reduction feature of the more telephoto lenses in the DX series, and doesn't really need it since it is so wide. Get the nice HOYA UV-0 filter, no vignetting.
This lens has allowed me to get previously impossible images: the whole bay and all the boats while standing at the dock, all 40 floors of the new building while standing on the sidewalk right beside it, the entire spreading maple tree with a nice up-close leaf in the foreground, wildflower close-ups with the mountain peaks in the background also in focus, images from inside buildings of the entire room that you are in, the waves on the beach with the beach sand grains visible in the foreground, a lot of the sky for night-time star fields or daytime cloud patterns, in-crowd people and action shots, and the list just goes on.
Like any super-wide, it compresses the subject, so beware of people placement, they will look a bit squat otherwise.
This lens seems to take a high percentage of my "Wow" shots.
The clarity of this lens is fantastic. The feel is right. The weight is nominal for a lens of this caliber. If you like the outdoors and especially like landscapes this lens is for you. I looked at several other brands but kept returning to the Nikkor. My decision was a three month test and review of different wide angles. I am confident with this lens and expect it to perform well for many years. This lens will be used primarily on the D7100. I put a B+H XS-PRO Digital UV Haze MRC nano filter on the front. I am looking forward to hiking the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, and the Wasatch range with this lens. Hope to see some of you out on the trail. Happy hunting!
Overall I have been quite disappointed with this lens. I use it on a D7000. It resolves very poorly (a lot of detail is lost) when the subject is at a distance, making it a poor landscape lens (tripod does not help). I also own the Nikon 17-55, and at overlapping focal distances the 17-55 far out resolves the 10-24, it isn't even close. For the price, it has definitely been a disappointment. If the subject is closer then the lens performs a little better, but still not well enough. The D7000 AF-Fine tune has been of no help with this one, there is just an overall lack of clarity. But when I need a really wide shot, at least it goes to 10mm.
The Nikkor 10-24 is a wonderful lens for landscape photography providing a great field of view...approximating a 16-35 FX lens. I used this lens extensively on my D7000 during a photo trip to Utah and found it to be superb. Photoshop easily corrects the small optical flaws of this lens.
I have also used this lens on my D600 when doing corporate video work. It is very handy to have this wide field of view especially when shooting in cramped warehouses and similar situations. This lens is expensive for a DX format lens but as the old saying goes you get what you pay for.
I am loving it so far. Only had it a short time, but already took it on a trip with me and was able to use it for lots of wide angle and decent zoom shots as well. The nice part of the ED is that I can crop and bring a photo in closer in my post work and it doesn't fall apart as fast as some of my older lenses' pics will. They stay sharper and crisper for more "in close" detail enlargements, etc.
Overall, it is a great "all-around" lens and I hope to learn more and more ways to use it and I cannot imagine that it won't be an "always with me" piece of equipment!
This 10-24mm lense is great piece of glass! I have used it in urban and rural landscape settings as well as taking pictures for events for my employer (a private school). People are so impressed with the way it can capture a setting. Advice: get in close as possible and really fill that frame up! If you just stay back to get as much in frame as possible, you will end up with ants and small figures in boring pictures. Photoshop CS5's lense distortion filter can help correct slight distortion this lense can produce in the wider settings (10-12 mm).
I've been more than impressed with the performance of this lens. I've shot excellent wide angle lenses in the past - 20/4 and 28/2.8 AIS from Nikon and Zeiss 16, 21, 28 and 35 on a Contax G2 and was concerned a wide zoom could perform adequately. A trip to Hearst Castle was the first test with dimly lit interiors with finely detailed walls and ceilings. I was shooting at f3.5 and 1/20 with wonderful results at 10mm.
The wide zoom range also makes this lens a great "street" shooting lens. If I carry more than one lens, this always goes along.
I use this lens with my D90 and love it. Images are sharp and look great. It's a bit pricey, but worth the money. At 10mm it does bend objects on the edge as a wide angle will do. I see no problems with image quality on the edges as has been noted in some other reviews I have seen. I use this lens for both day and night/moonlight/light painting and it works well. It is my favorite lens in my bag. Do yourself a favor and buy the Nikon colorless filter at the same time to protect the lens. I'm already glad that I did!
Very useful lens. The range is awesome. The colors are beautiful. Focuses close. Good even for portraits if you don't mind the funny bokeh. Wide angle lens is always a good thing to have ,so I think it is worth buying one and with Nikon you always get what you're paying for, many times you get a lot more, not in this case, but I'm still very happy with purchasing this lens and I would buy it again, no doubt ! It is an awesome product !
That is what Nikon does, after all.
Just got the lens and have shot many test shots. Zoom is smooth and tight. The focus ring is too thin and the aperture ring can get in the way. This could be improved by switching positions of rings. Overall its a very good lens. I recently purchased a 105mm macro, which can be used on a FX and DX format camera and it cost the same as the 10-24mm and its a DX lens (FX would have to use crop). Seems the 10-24mm should cost less...?
As a DX shooter, I've tried several different third-party wide zoom lenses but was never satisfied with corner sharpness. This lens is a winner - particularly after three intense weeks of shooting in the surf, mountains and rainforests of Costa Rica. Very durable. Very good corner sharpness when stopped down to f8 (which I'd do anyway for depth of field) and the extra 2mm (beyond the 12-24) really helps. This lens will be in my daily kit for a long time.
I do a lot of product photography and this lens affords me a really close focusing distance to get that hero shot some clients prefer. It's got the sharpness of my Nikon 60mm micro lens.
And for really tight spaces, this lens fits the bill with my D300. In fact, the focal length from 10mm to 24mm is just PERFECT.
It may not be a fast f2.8 lens but heck...you'd always want to mount it on a tripod when doing interior shots with available light...right?
I bought this lens when it first came out. I love the artistic freedom the super wide angle gives. It's fast, accurate, great size. Since this lens paid for itself with the images I have sold from it, I consider it a good value. I will agree that there's independent lens manufacturers that make nice ultra wide zooms, but nothing works as good on a nikon than a nikkor.
Focusing is really fast and accurate. No nonsense.
