May 06, 2013
The most menacing type of cyberattack is invisible. Using sophisticated techniques to hide its presence, a stealth attack may operate outside of the OS or move dynamically across endpoints to conceal the attackers' actions. The risk to enterprises is real, with high-profile attacks such as Operation High Roller impacting companies around the globe. Traditional antivirus or intrusion prevention systems are no match for this new breed of attack; instead, enterprises need layered security controls that work together to detect the presence and actions of stealthy malware and attackers.
For years, security experts have urged layers of security controls across endpoints, networks, and cloud, supported by multi-vector threat intelligence. This reduces the attack surface and the "noise" that hinders detection. But many companies have not yet achieved this level of protection. Most have porous networks with many Internet-connected entry points from which to launch an attack. Since they do not see the threat, administrators often believe they don't have a problem. Without something to "fix," cost justifying these systems has seemed difficult and unnecessary - until the company falls victim to an attack or data loss.

Ann Arbor, Mich. • A 10-point lead had slipped away in the final minutes, and it looked like the best Trey Burke and Michigan could hope for was another chance in overtime.
Then the star point guard decided to gamble, reaching in and knocking the ball away from Michigan State's Keith Appling with the game on the line.
"I take my eyes off it for a second to see their formation, and there's Trey going down the other end," Wolverines coach John Beilein said.
Burke's steal and dunk put Michigan ahead by two with 22 seconds remaining, and the fourth-ranked Wolverines held on for a pulsating 58-57 win over No. 9 Michigan State on Sunday. Burke had 21 points and eight assists, and he had enough energy left down the stretch to help Michigan to a much-needed victory.
The Wolverines avenged a 75-52 loss at Michigan State last month and they rebounded from Wednesday night's stunning defeat at Penn State.
The Spartans (22-7, 11-5 Big Ten) had the ball with the shot clock off and the score 56-all, but Burke stole the ball from Appling near midcourt and went in alone for the game's last field goal.

Networked economy What is the impact of the networked economy? Social and commercial technologies have collided with macroeconomic forces like the recession and the failure of big hierarchical institutions. This convergence has changed the way people consume goods, educate and employ themselves, and create enterprises, spawning a new economy invisible to the metrics we use to measure society's condition and progress. While many argue that these trends generate enormous social value, policymakers question the implications and ultimate impact. Speakers: Alfred Spector (via skype)

Organizers of Cleveland's New Year's celebration on Public Square said Monday the comedian and host of "The Price is Right" will headline the countdown event to 2014.
Carey says he was thrilled with the invitation and can't imagine a better place to spend New Year's.
Managing partner Alonzo Mitchell III with the Ohio Homecoming organizing committee says Carey has always represented Cleveland wherever he has gone.
The free event will be televised in Cleveland on CBS 19 from 10 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

Officials still looking for cuts to school budget
But other members felt there was no way to guarantee the district would meet that revenue goal, and the board voted against the amended proposal."We have an athletic fee that's working," said board member Robert Hallowell, who added a small increase of existing fees might be acceptable. Students currently pay $50 for track, $150 for football and $500 for ice hockey.Most of those fees seem reasonable," said Hallowell. "I know there are other districts where fees are much higher, but I don't want to go there."
Board members did agree to scrap plans to hire a part-time guidance counselor for elementary school children but the vote was not unanimous. Vice Chairman Kimberly Muise voted against eliminating that position, saying that the district needs to consider the "whole child" and do whatever is possible to protect the health and well being of students.Board members also disagreed on eliminating a curriculum specialist with an annual salary of $78,900.
Murotake argued that with the Common Core standards-based assessment tests starting in the spring of 2015, eliminating a specialist to help tailor curriculum to prepare students would be a mistake."The reason the Common Core standards are better is because the rigor is raised and new things are added," said Murotake, who has repeatedly called for a delay in starting those tests. "It is a fantasy to believe you can eliminate that position. What we need is not to skinny down curriculum specialists but to add more."Fellow board member Steven Haas agreed.
"I think we need all hands on deck, and I don't believe we can afford to remove a curriculum specialist," said Haas. The majority of the board, however, voted to approve that cut.At one point, Sandra Ziehm suggested sending the budget as is to the board of aldermen and letting them make the cuts, but fellow board members said the aldermen would just reduce the bottom line and send it back to the board of education to make the tough choices.The board is scheduled to meet again on April 2, at 6:30 p.m. at Nashua High School North to continue looking for ways to reduce the budget without forcing significant sacrifices on students or teachers.

by Jean Engelke, Better Living With Wine
Today we spent the day tasting wine on the South East shore of Seneca Lake. We visited five wineries on a cold and rainy day. What better way to spend a rainy day?
We started at Catherine Valley Winery and had the opportunity to spend some quality time with Don Kilcoyne, winemaker and farmer. We talked about farming, winemaking, grapes and the weather. We also found out that Don appreciated (not all do) the Chelois grape for winemaking. Don's farm also has many old vines traced back to original plantings of Catawba and Concord.
We talked about our own winemaking adventure with Chelois grapes harvested in Michigan at Berrien Cellars. Chelois is a French hybrid that is typically used for blending. However, we all agreed that it stands on its own merits and we have enjoyed our respective bottling's. We appreciated Don's very personal attention as we tasted his wines. We could not leave without three of them and look forward to sharing on the deck this summer.
Once back in the car, we decided that we would open a bottle of our Chelois that evening to taste with our marinated flank steak. We all agreed that Chelois is finicky in the bottle. Ours had been getting better over time. We wanted to know if it continued!
We opened the bottle to a very subdued, pleasant fruity aroma. The wine was deep red, full bodied and not like other cold hearty grape varietals from the region. It had a full mouth feel and complex, not overpowering flavors, good finish that was not too dry. It completely complimented the flank steak, easily handling the sweet and salt of the marinate and glaze. Wow!
I must return to the South East side of Seneca to do more tasting. I will be taking a bottle of our Chelois to Don so he can sample what we have made of this interesting varietal. (We have already taken a bottle to Berrien Cellars!)

One of the most under-reported aspects of the Bush invasion of Iraq has been the devastating impact of the war on the lives of Iraqi Christians. The Christian presence in Iraq goes back over a thousand years, but due to changes brought about by the American-led invasion, at least half of the 800,000 Christians who were in Iraq in 2003 have fled for their safety. They are threatened by fanatic Muslim fundamentalists who do not wish non-believers in their midst. Sweden is among the few nations which have responded to the Iraq refugee problem which includes at least two million now trapped in Syria and Jordan and fearing to return.
The German Christian Democratic Union is pushing for a new plan which would allow 10,000 Iraqis to come to Germany as permanent residents. The catch is the offer would only be applicable for Christians. The proposal calls for allowing 10,000 people suffering religious persecution to enter Germany which, in effect, means they would be Christians.
It is an interesting proposal although a bit tainted by only allowing Christians to enter, but, in these days, half a loaf is better than none. Perhaps, Germany could learn from the example of Sweden which has opened its doors to thousands of Iraqis, Christian or Muslim or non-believer.

Q. What are the benefits of using high-quality archival supplies?
A. There's nothing magical about them that stops time, but they do slow down external factors that cause deterioration. Items that pass the Photographic Activity Test (PAT) are not going to interact with your photographs over time. Archival tissue cushions artifacts and helps them keep their shape. Metal edges give archival boxes strength and allow the box to be put together without potentially harmful glue.

Onslow deputies investigate series of break-ins
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - "You're angry, you're upset, but at the same wave of emotion, you're glad your family wasn't home."
On Monday, Fred Jenkins came home to a crime scene.
"When I came in the door, I noticed some windows busted out," Jenkins said. "Things were pretty much thrown throughout the house."
Jenkins says a drawer full of valuables was taken along with money, a gun and jewelry. Perhaps the most valuable, letters from his wife's deceased father, were also snatched.
"He passed away 15 years ago," Jenkins said. "There's a part of him they took from her even more, and I can't fix that. I can't put that back."
He says a neighbor may have caught a glimpse of who's behind this. The neighbor drove by his house and saw a car that didn't belong.
The Onslow County Sheriff's Department is investigating this along with several other break-ins in the Old 30 Road area in Jacksonville. The Sheriff says his office has a person of interest.
"I certainly feel violated," Jenkins said. "You feel like someone knows a lot more about you than you want them to know."
Jenkins encourages all neighbors to get to know each other so they can look out for one another. He also advises getting an alarm system to protect your home.
Anyone with information about these break-ins are encouraged to call the Sheriff's Department.

The Winemaker: He loves to drink wine! Charles Smith, proprietor and winemaker, comes to Walla Walla after 11 years in Scandanavia. Originally from northern California, he has been involved with wine personally and professionally his whole life. And did we forget to mention... he loves to drink wine!
The Vineyards: K Vintners is producing wines from 2 distinctive viticultural zones: Wahluke Slope and Walla Walla Valley. Each of these areas are unique and awesome for Syrah and the Field Blends produced.
In April '02 two seperate blocks of vineyards were planted to Syrah adjacent to the winery in the rocky dry creek beds that run through K Vintners property. View all K Vintners Wines
About Walla Walla ValleyView a map of Walla Walla Valley wineries
Sharing part of the valley with Oregon, Walla Walla is on the southeast side of the Columbia Valley. It is primarily red grape land, with Cabernet Sauvignon leading in the vineyards, followed by Merlot and the ever-growing and very popular, Syrah.In the 1990's, as Washington State was gaining more acclaim for its red wines, Walla Walla was hailed by wine critics for its quality and sense of place. That has not changed. Many red wines from Walla Walla show not only great complexity and elegance, but ageability. Though the region is known for the red wines, the most planted white grape here is Chardonnay.
About Washington
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

AMES, Iowa – Managing swine farrowing facilities to maintain a thermally comfortable environment for both sows and piglets is challenging. A new publication from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach explains how using localized heating to create a microclimate for piglets can reduce mortality rates and overall energy consumption.
"Conserving Energy by Using Localized Heating in Swine Housing" (PM 2089V) is available to download from the Extension Online Store, https://store.extension.iastate.edu/.
"Swine farrowing rooms have animals with very different thermal needs in close proximity," said Jay Harmon, professor and ISU Extension agricultural engineer. "Creating microclimates in farrowing facilities using heat lamps or heat mats can improve the health and comfort of piglets while also conserving energy."
This publication provides an overview of research conducted by Iowa State University. Case study results show a lower piglet mortality rate and lower lamp breakage rates for 175 watt heat lamps versus 250 watt heat lamps. The lower wattage lamp also consumes less electricity, thereby improving energy efficiency. Additional topics include management of variable output heat lamps, heat mats and sizing propane gas brooders.
"As they grow, the temperature preference of piglets decreases and they need less localized supplemental heat," said Hongwei Xin, Iowa State University professor in agriculture and biosystems engineering. "Gradually reducing supplemental heating to meet their changing needs can improve overall energy efficiency."
For more tips on energy efficiency around the farmstead, visit http://farmenergy.exnet.iastate.edu or follow @ISU_Farm_Energy on Twitter.
The Farm Energy publications are part of a series of farm energy conservation and efficiency educational materials being developed through the ISU Farm Energy Initiative. The purpose is to increase farmers' awareness of opportunities for improving efficient use of farm energy. The initiative also will help farmers and utility providers to explore opportunities to reduce farm energy demand and to improve overall profitability in a rapidly changing energy environment.

NFL: Roethlisberger takes over offense in crunch time
PITTSBURGH — The referee spotted the ball and Ben Roethlisberger waved his hands, urging his teammates to get to their spots.
No looking at the sideline. No pressing his helmet against his ear. No glancing at the call sheet on his wrist.
Instead, the Steelers' quarterback looked at the Detroit Lions defense before barking out a play. He took the snap and handed off to Le'Veon Bell for a 12-yard gain.
Bell hopped up and flipped the ball to an official. Seconds later, Roethlisberger was lined up in the shotgun waiting for the snap.
This is what Roethlisberger's vision of freedom looks like, a vision that could become a fixture of the Pittsburgh offense over the final six weeks of the season.
Empowered by offensive coordinator Todd Haley to speed things up and energize an offense that has sputtered most of the season, Roethlisberger put together 60 of the finest minutes of his career while helping the Steelers (4-6) rally past the Lions 37-27 to keep alive whatever slim chance they have of making a playoff run.
"It definitely facilitated the game," wide receiver Antonio Brown said. "It allowed us to get the other team off balance. It helps us start fast."
Roethlisberger passed for 367 yards and four touchdowns, two of them coming on plays he called at the line, including a 20-yard lob to Jerricho Cotchery with 2:35 left that provided the final margin.
It was vintage Roethlisberger, who avoided the mistakes that contributed greatly to Pittsburgh's early-season struggles. He didn't throw an interception, was sacked just once in 46 drop backs and for the moment silenced speculation the franchise wants him to take a more cerebral approach to the game in hopes of protecting his body as he heads into the second half of his career.
Roethlisberger is done talking about his future. His teammates, however, have no such problems doing their best to protect him.
"I feel like I'm in one of those Terrell Owens moments, that's my quarterback," Cotchery said with a laugh.
Roethlisberger sounded magnanimous when pressed on how much of Pittsburgh's highest point production since Oct. 9, 2011 was the result of his own input.
"It's a combination when we come to the sidelines, it's me calling (those plays) out there," Roethlisberger said. "On the sidelines I'm talking to all the wide receivers, tight ends and running backs, coach Haley, coach Randy Fichtner, all the coaches. We're trying to brainstorm and see what is best so they can best prepare me when I am on the field."
Roethlisberger certainly looked prepared while leading the Steelers to a quick lead. He completed 7 of 8 passes to start the game, twice finding Brown for catch-and-run scores.
Pittsburgh's 14 first-quarter points nearly matched the team's 19 total points it had put up in the first quarter all season. Two field goals by Shaun Suisham helped the Steelers survive a second-quarter burst by the Lions that put Detroit ahead 27-20 at halftime.
As effective as it looked, it wasn't perfect. The first three times Pittsburgh drove inside the Detroit 20, the Steelers had to settle for three points.
That's hardly a step forward for the 28th-ranked team in red zone efficiency.
Trailing by seven points midway through the third quarter, the Steelers had first-and-goal at the Lions' 1. Roethlisberger overthrew a wide-open David Paulson on second down and Bell lost two yards on third. Instead of tying the game, Pittsburgh trailed.
"I put it a little too high for him," Roethlisberger said. "I think he slipped a little. We all did. The conditions were crazy out there. That's on me. I have to make that play."
The Steelers earned a reprieve when the Lions couldn't convert a fake field goal early in the fourth quarter that would have restored the lead to a touchdown. Pittsburgh responded by going 97 yards in 16 plays, eight of them coming out of the no huddle.
After missing twice at the Detroit 1, he floated a pass to fullback Will Johnson that put the Steelers in front to stay. Pittsburgh's defense followed by producing its third turnover of the day. Rather than play it conservatively, Roethlisberger "dusted off" an old play that freed Cotchery down the left sideline. The throw was perfect and Pittsburgh inched closer to the fringe of postseason picture in the murky and mediocre AFC.

Employment can provide an educational experience outside the classroom with positions that correspond to your interests, skills, and goals.
We have 2 student employment programs to help our undergraduate and graduate students find available part-time jobs — the Federal Work Study Program and the Lesley Works Program. Students who do not qualify for Federal Work Study can apply for positions through the Lesley Works Program. Find student jobs now.
This work program is funded by the federal government and Lesley University. It is available to U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens who have demonstrated financial need, and have met other eligibility criteria as determined by the U.S. Department of Education. Eligible students may be employed on campus or at approved off-campus agencies.
If you did not apply for or receive Federal Work-Study, you may apply for Lesley Works positions. This program is fully funded by individual departments within the university, and the number of positions may be limited.
You may also wish to contact the Career Resource Center for a listing of off-campus employment by calling 617.349.8550 or by sending an email to email@example.com.
It is important to know if you are eligible for Federal Work-Study because some departments on campus only have Federal Work-Study positions available, while others have both. If you cannot locate your Financial Aid Award Letter, you can see if you have Federal Work-Study by logging in to your LOIS account and reviewing "Financial Aid by Year."
The Financial Aid Office posts Federal Work-Study and Lesley Works Program positions online in our Student Employment Job Postings website about two weeks prior to the start of the Fall semester.
At that time, you'll receive an email explaining the procedure for obtaining employment in these two programs. You'll need to submit all the required paperwork to the Financial Aid Office prior to contacting supervisors about posted jobs.
Learn more about the paperwork required, and the process for applying for jobs on campus:
If you represent a local non-profit agency, learn how to hire Lesley University students through our Federal Work-Study program.

your comments review this restaurant and win a bottle of champagne
what the bloggers say
Gourmet Chick - 8/10
Monday, August 08, 2011 - From the tipping the bill end of the scale, Hakkasan's signature silver cod roasted in champagne was a must order for us despite the hefty price tag. The cod was silken and dripped with the thick, rich champagne sauce. We teamed it with a side order of sauteed morning glory which was crisp and slightly sweet and some crunchy deep fried squid which was addictively moreish...Not everything was perfect. The annoying two hour time limit at tables was enforced and on the food front the dim sum platter was overly steamed leaving the dumplings on the soggy side.

President Barack Obama told the media he expected greater success on the part of Afghan forces once presidential elections were completed in the country. He expects that once Afghanistan has an effective army it will be possible for the United States and other western nations to depart from the country. If that truly is the assumption of the president, we can expect he will be stuck by the side of a road for the next decade waiting for Godot to make his appearance. Actually, Obama has greater odds that Godot will appear before the Afghan army takes to the field and defeats anyone or any group. The president's remarks came as American troops were in the second week of a ground offense in Helmand province. Of course, the problem is the Taliban have headed elsewhere as the Americans entered the province.
It would be nice if the Taliban were on the road side waiting for the appearance of Godot, but they are too smart for that. Obama has been suckered into believing the solution lies with the current Afghan government to create an armed force that will fight. Frankly, we would be more impressed if Karzai could create an armed force that does not steal or oppress the people of Afghanistan.

My wife and I drove down to Rossmans (about 1 1/2 hrs. away) and picked up ours. We were in our SUV and my wife thought they would ride home on the top. When she saw all those buzzing bees I thought that me and the bees were going to ride home on the top. Fred Rossman did a good job of assuring her that they could not escape.Steve
I had mine right next to me in the passenger seat and I talked to them on the ride home about their new home and how happy they would be. They were pretty quiet the whole ride home until I sprayed them with sugar water. I was so excited that day. Love the seat belt idea.Annette

|Topic Review (Newest First)
If one has ever been upside down in one of these things it will make you a believer about proper roll cage construction and one can get upside down in a hurry when dropping the hammer on a big engine from a standing start..
Nuff said
|I also have one of those HF tube benders that I bought used at a swap meet. Glad I bought it used because it isn't worth the new price they ask. I wouldn't use it for a rollbar, but I have used it to make some tube supports and it's OK for gentle bends up to around 45 degrees. After that it starts to kink or collapse the tubing.
Mandrel bends
Thanks, I'll look into it. Still haven't made any progress on the '54 as I have a '48 Dodge I'm doing a COMPLETE brake job on. Down to trying to figure out how to adjust the stupid Mopar brake setup then fill and bleed system. What a pain. Starting to have bad feelings for early Mopars.
|Bad Rat
Your excitement for your project is making me want to get back to working on my Anglia, Really what it all boils down to is build it the way YOU want to build it,, and enjoy the fruits of your labor,,, thats what hotrodding is all about anyway,
I know the feeling about having too much on your plate,, I'm trying to get my 69 bonneville back together after being apart for about 5 years,, remembering how it goes back together sometimes is a head scratcher
as for the rollcage,, I ordered one from Chris Alston chassisworks,, about 500$ if I remember right,, 10 point
Repiles to mandrel bends
Thanks for the comebacks guys and you both have awesome rides. I have a couple of other prokects going on in my garage tying up my space and I need to get them out so I can start playing with this. I've stated before I'm an old muscle car guy from the 60's, have built Harley chopper and bobber show bikes (one made it to mag), but building a street rod from scratch is a new experience. This site is great because of guys like you that want to help. Too bad you weren't near Chicago, you could stop by for a brewski. ya can anyway if your near). later
Mandrel bends and motor plates
I was told by a buddy who used to build race frames that the mounts I have in there now probably wouldn't last through the first startup. They're basically stock mounts on the block going through a mounting plate bolted on the frame with thick (1/4") rubber washers sandwiched between a couple of thick washers. He also told me that it would help strengthen the frame which may be a valid point, I don't think '41 Chevy frames were made for blower motors. It is a square frame though and I think with a cage and maybe a 4 link (someday) it would help a bunch. Like you say this will most likely never hook up anyway. I picked up some big Mickey sportsman's at a swap which will look cool until they go up in smoke! I'm running an open rear end too so ya know I'm not going to grab anything but attention. Looking for a Ford 9 inch as I hear they're cheap and available in bone yards across the nation, They made millions of them. This truck has NEVER been together so I have a lot on my plate, mounting the cab, headers, steering, wiring. All the good stuff. I don't expect it to be perfect right out of the gate, i just want to drive it! I'll fix what breaks as it breaks, hopefully it won't be my neck LOL.i
|Bad Rat
I don't see any good reasons for running a solid plate mount. This would transmit and unbelievable amount of noise from the motor to the frame and interior of the car. It's bad enough from just a Holley "blue" fuel pump. I have used urethane mounts for 2 years and 18k miles and nothing is broken. It will be very unlikely you would ever get enough traction to break anything unless you run slicks. If you do the first time you get loose in some water will be a real eye opener.
Why would you need solid mounts for this kind of cruize??
Mandrel bends
Thanks for the advice. I looked at some of those cages on the sites that were sent to me. One was very reasonable at $298. I have a friend that welds race cars frames. I already have the SBC with the dueces in the frame but now need to move motor further forward or have the blower in the cab with me. It was suggested to use a motor plate for rigidity and it makes sense. I don't think a couple of bolts through a rubber mount and a cople of washers is going to control that hp. Wonder if I'll need a mid plate too? I'm running a Muncie 220 as I want something that reminds me of the muscle cars I had back in the 60's. Automatic? Grandma's car had an automatic. I have a TH400 that's for sale on this site if anyone's interested. We wouldn't have any respect back then driving an auto. This is going to be driven on the streets FOR FUN. Isn't that what it's all about? Since I picked up this blower motor things are getting serious!
You can probably purchase a roll bar/cage from one of the suppliers noted specifically for your car for less than the cost of heavy walled tube u-bends.
Forget the HF thing, we have one sitting in a corner by the scrap pile...used once.
Do like Tech said, tack it together and have it TIG welded by someone that knows their way around this stuff. Since it is structrual you would like it to be functional too if you go on your head...I would think.
Splices need to be about 4 diameters long on each side of the joint, holes for plug welds etc. SFI spec that NHRA uses have these called out very specifically. They have done their home work on this and have lots of experiences (crashes) to hone the specs we see today.
oll cages
I'm not doing any serious racing with this thing but ya know when your a kid (forever, I'm 65 now) ya always wanted a car with a blower sticking out of the hood (for wood). I would normally never be able to afford to have one built and don't have the resources and knowkedge myself but ran across someone who is in deep financial trouble and had this motor built and couldn't pay to get it out of the shop. Fortune smiles on ya every now and then and I got this motor CHEAP. It's got a Dyers blower, Dart alum pro1 heads, Scat crank and on and on. All the good stuff. I bought it for less then you could buy the parts for. I already had planned on putting in a 355 with dueces for nostalgic reasons. I'm not real familiar with the ins and outs of blower motors but am trying to learn. This site is a Godsend. Lots of info and decent guys unlike one other site I got on that were/are a bunch of ******** dickheads.
Mandrel bends
Hey I REALLY apreciate the advice and yes that was the one. I have built a lot of exhaust systems by welding pieces together. I have some inserts that expand to the size of the I.D. and extend into the pipe about an inch on both sides, then you can get a nice weld through on all of it, I wouldn't grind down the welds to weaken them. The cage I want to build is more for making the frame more solid. I'm putting a 383 blown motor (648 hp) in a '54 Chev P/U going to be mountred on a 41 Chev car frame. I picked up the frame from a friend. It is a square frame so no need to box the stock c-channel and it already has a Mustang I.F.S. welded in. Saves a bunch of work. Planning on a front motor plate and maybe a mid plate too. Am going to re-inforce frame with probably 1 1/2 dom tubing. Eventually may 4 link it but I'm on a limited budget so I have to do the things necessary to get it up and running then replace things as I break them (LOL). Thanks again.
By the way, the 8-point structure that you see in this link is a rollbar, not a rollcage...
Click on Drag Roll Cages....
There are others of course,
The other thing is, if you're not a certified aircraft welder, DO NOT weld it yourself. Tack if together and then call a dude with a portable rig to do the welding for you.
I wrote a piece on rollbars a while back for the wiki. Then I retired and have not kept up with the current rules for this year, but the rules and procedures that I outlined when I wrote it will mostly be valid. Get a current N.H.R.A. Rulebook from Jegs or Summit. Read it.
Here's the piece on rollbars...
To make a roll cage should be continuous tubes, not pieces spliced together like welding curved sections to straight sections. If this is the bender you're thinking of buying
DON'T DO IT. That is a PIPE bender and will kink/flatten roll bar TUBING, which will weaken the tubing. Pipe is sized by ID, tubing is sized by OD, so the dies for a pipe bender are not the right size for tubing dies.

Re: Sailing on Hudson river
Wow, swimming? Lest anyone still doubt global warming...
WFC has full season boat rentals but they don't have facilities to keep your own boat. Norwalk has a marina I'll be exploring with jet ski docks that could work...and Croton allows non-residents to rent sunfish racks in the summer (although I need to investigate the feasability of lugging it on/off the rack, and whether dollies/trailers can be stored). My boat-share would be with a friend with a car (especially useful when checking out used 'fish on Craigslist ads).
Gateway Marina in Brooklyn probably has the easiest set-up of all...a small (sadly, trash-strewn) beach in Dead Horse Bay with access straight out to Jamaica Bay. Being safety conscious, I want to explore whether it's a good spot and am trying to research the conditions there. I've seen quite a few articles about kayakers being rescued from the bay.
Re: Sailing on Hudson river
The wind was definitely blowing yesterday when I was out at Centre Island beach, near Oyster Bay/Bayville. I saw several waterfront center (WFC) boats out on Oyster Bay. We went swimming in the Sound though.
I was wondering if the WFC had the facilities to keep your own Sunfish there?
I agree that owning your own boat is a good idea. A Sunfish is not going to set you back a lot of ca$h unless you get a brand new one.
I think that Norwalk, CT should definitely be looked at. I don't know what kind of facilities they have inside the harbor for keeping a boat like a Sunfish though.
Some communities have boat racks at their beaches but it usually helps to be a 'resident'.
Do you have a vehicle you could use to move a Sunfish?
Re: Sailing on Hudson river
Yup the Waterfront Center in Oyster Bay is great, I took lessons there over the summer...but there's definitely an appeal to owning my own boat if I find the right spot...keeping costs down by buying a used one and sharing it with a friend.
I checked out a marina in Port Washington yesterday...I guess it was a particularly rough day but the winds were whipping across what looked on the map to be a very protected cove.
Looking forward to checking out Norwalk...despite the distance, it could be promising.
Re: Sailing on Hudson river
Generally, in the summer there is more wind on the south shore of LI then up north on the LI Sound. This should hold true on the Great South Bay and sailing behind Long Beach.
That said, have you been to Oyster Bay yet? They rent Sunfish (and other boats) there for $20/hour and the train station is practically on the beach.
WFC - The WaterFront Center, Oyster Bay, NY - Daily Sailboat & Kayak Rentals
Re: Sailing on Hudson river
Thanks for the info...definitely would bring a paddle, although the idea of needing to paddle away from barges in a strong current makes me think twice about the location. Haven't been up there yet so I'll be checking it out along with Norwalk.
Sheffield Island and the other Norwalk Islands sound like great destinations once I get a bit more experience. I've sailed a Hobie Cat to Cockenoe Island in Westport-if the LI Sound is similar down in Norwalk, I'm thinking it should be relatively protected and doable for a Sunfish on light wind days?
Also looking into places on the south shore of western LI (Oceanside, Island Park...), since I live in Queens and the LI Railroad would make for a faster trip than the other locations. Further east, I've sailed a Sunfish in East Moriches near Fire Island-beautiful over there but too far without a car.
Thanks again for your ideas
Re: Sailing on Hudson river
I'd say that your Croton location would be a fine spot for using a Sunfish. There are some destinations you could sail to besides Croton Point park. Explore the east side of the river then explore the western side. The current in the Hudson can be fairly strong so it would be a concern when the wind died. Bring along a paddle as there is some commercial (barge & tug mostly) traffic.
Overall Haverstraw Bay is a pretty nice sailing spot but there are some industrial structures to look at as well as nice hills nearby.
I have also been to Norwalk, CT. Outside the harbor is Sheffield Island among others. I prefer the saltier waters of the LI Sound for swimming in.
I've never sailed on anything in Jamaica Bay but I know that part of it is a bird sanctuary and it abuts Kennedy airport. I envision it to be pretty nice if you don't mind the fairly constant roar of airplanes landing and taking off. Every now and then one of them seems to land in Jamaica Bay, poor birds! There is something of a salt marsh in Jamaica Bay so I'd expect it to be a bit buggy at times.
Re: Sailing on Hudson river
Question for you guys who're familiar with the Hudson-I'm looking into keeping a Sunfish at one of the racks at Senasqua Park in Croton-on-Hudson next season. I've never sailed in the Hudson and I'm wondering if there is a significant amount of larger boat traffic and wake? Considering the currents, what areas would be best to stick to in a Sunfish? Also, any options for landing on a beach or heading to a dock in a nearby town to explore, or is it mainly concrete ramps? I'm based in NYC and am also looking into Jamaica Bay or Norwalk CT as other possibilities. Thanks for any input!
Re: Sailing on Hudson river
I resemble that remark.
As Paul suggests I'd look for a launch ramp around Cold Spring or further north. The scenery going down the river past West Point, Storm King Mtn and Albert's Nose (near Bear Mtn Bridge) is well worth seeing.
I forgot to mention Nyack Boat Club which has transient moorings available for $25/night. A mooring is a great thing on a river that flows both ways. Nyack is also about 25 nautical miles north of The Battery which would make your trip home to Great Kills doable in a long day. They have a launch service and ice and restaurants within walking distance. Cute riverside town too. You could do a lot worse staying somewhere else.
Re: Sailing on Hudson river
Hudson River is beautiful, if you have the time you might want to head up further north, like Kingston. Beacon is nice, so nice that I moved there and has good anchoring north of the ferry dock. When are you doing this? This Sunday there is a nice corn festival in Beacon, should be fun. Chelsea Yacht Club is nice and there is a good free boat ramp between the yacht club and the other harbor there(not so nice). Newburgh has lots of good restaurants. Banerman's Island is interesting. Bear Mountain has some nice easy trails off of the public dock with a small zoo, though the Inn is not really open currently. Nyack Boat club has some good people there, but then again Caleb hangs out there ;-) . You could spend a lot of time on the river. The current does go both ways with the tide so it does not matter which way you are going you will have some current to contend with.
Re: Sailing on Hudson river
Thank you so much, great info! Can't wait for the weekend :-)

Sometimes, subtle changes can have a big impact on how your cows perform
Most of us have a warm comfortable home to go to when our days are done, an even greater blessing in winter. But, this holiday season, have we given our cows the gift of a comfortable environment? At Cornell Nutrition Conference and a variety of others, and most recently in the Miner Institute Farm Report Rick Grant, shared the most economically important relationship when it comes to cow comfort.
On farm, the environment explains over half the variation in milk production differences between farms, noted Grant. Even modest investments in cow comfort can pay huge dividends in cow health and performance. A growing body of research provides substantial information on the expected responses to specific environmental changes.
The most economically important relationships include:
- stalls per cow 1.7 pounds per cow per day per 0.1 increase in stall availability
- feeding for refusals 3.5 pounds per cow per day
- feed push-ups 8.7 pounds per cow per day
- meeting the time budget requirement for rest boosts milk yields 5 to 8 pounds per day
- whenever cows can get another hour of rest, expect another 2 to 3.5 pounds per cow per day
- with heat stress abatement beginning at 68 THI, feed intake and milk yield are boosted an average of 10 pounds per cow per day
- when co-mingling first-calf heifers and older cows, plan on a 10 percent milk loss in heifers; if pens are overcrowded the impact is even more severe
- if stalls are more comfortable, milk yield can increase anywhere from 3 to 14 pounds per cow per day, with concurrent drops in turnover rate, SCC, and lameness
- with a feeding environment that encourages dry matter intakes, intakes in Holsteins may rise a pound, which translates to an extra 2 pounds of milk
- lameness is equated with a 2,000-pound-per-cow-per-year loss in production, as well as fertility reductions
- when bunk space goes from 24 inches per cow to 12, the percent of cows pregnant by 150 days in milk drops from 70 to 35 percent
As we head into the new year, take the time to see if making cow comfort improvements in your facilities could help your cows and your milk check.

It would seem that a solution to the problem of protecting the groundwater supply would be to replace an underground storage tank (UST) with an aboveground storage tank (AST) to make leaks visible and eliminate the need for costly UST leak-detection systems.
But when it's located underground, the vulnerability of a tank to vehicular impact or even gunfire is virtually nil. In addition, both the tank owner and regulators have to be assured of the tank's fire protection in case a tank is overfilled and the spillage ignites.
Precast concrete producers have reacted to the regulatory demands placed on their customers who store fuel by marketing aboveground "super tanks" that address concerns about groundwater, air quality, impact, and fire safety. These "super tanks" actually use a steel tank but also offer secondary containment, insulation, and an outer concrete shell.
In 1988 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandated that UST owners comply with new standards for corrosion resistance, leak detection, and spillage and overfill protection by the end of 1998. Until 2000, the replacement market for ASTs boomed.
Now the market for concrete-encased ASTs has shifted from replacement to new construction. To be successful in creating customer value, the producer has to make a real commitment to the petroleum industry and create an entire division for the product.
Raising fuel storage above ground gives the producer a chance to market architectural concrete finishes. Both the internal steel tanks and the ASTs as a whole require a greater variety of tests to ensure that the tanks get UL listings for fire, air quality, and impact protection.
The article includes a list of licensors for whom precasters can manufacture tanks.
The article also includes information about franchising unattended gas stations that use ASTs.

La Pine couple (and cats) survive explosion, sinking
Dramatic survival tale: 'It was like a bomb going off'
La PINE, Ore. - Mark and Cynthia Schneider have been married for 32 years and call La Pine home, but for the past 27 years, they've spent their summers at sea.
"A lot of guys say, 'How do you even let your wife on the boat?' But Cynthia's been the captain an the skipper ever wince we got started," Mark said Tuesday.
The casting couple catches thousands of pounds of albacore tuna and sells it to New Seasons Market in Portland under their brand "Catch of the Sea."
"When we're fishing, it's long hours. When we're working on the boat, it's long hours," Mark said.
Seven days into their season, on Aug. 5th -- 80 miles off the Oregon coast, disaster struck.
"The engine backfired once, so Cynthia went and looked and it's billowing black smoke," he recalled Tuesday, back home in La Pine. "Then it backfired again, and this was all happening pretty rapidly."
"It backfired again, and it actually rocked the boat and it was pretty loud. It wasn't very long, and then we had the explosion -- and it literally blew the entire side of the boat off," Mark said.
The "Sea Princess" started taking on water.
"The side planks, the whole section of the wall was gone. It was blown off the boat -- gone," pointing to a "before" photo of his beloved fishing boat on his computer.
Cynthia said, "The flames went up through the floor and blew the walls out and the fire ball hit me on the side, burnt all my face through here and down here."
In a rush, the Schneiders threw on their survival suits, grabbed whatever they could and abandoned ship.
"She was shouting, 'Get off the boat! We've got to get off this boat!' Finally it was enough -- she was yelling at me," Mark said. "And then we just sat there and watched 27 years go away."
In the water, watching their boat sink -- and all they could think about were two things.
"I just thought, 'We can't leave my kitties! Can't leave my kitties! We cannot leave my kitties!" he said.
Their companions at sea, Jasper and Topaz were lost in the chaos.
"Topaz come out past swimming those totes, and we saw her and screamed at her and she started swimming towards us," Mark said.
Topaz was rescued first. Jasper nearly went down with the ship, riding on the bow as it slowly sank.
"Slowly it started sinking and it went right out from underneath him, and it just disappeared and then he started swimming," he said.
Reunited, the family was rescued by a nearby ship minutes later. The Coast Guard wasn't needed in this instance, since their fishing-boat friends rescued them.
The Schneiders are, of course, happy to be alive, but they say not only did they lose their boat and all their possessions, they lost their livelihood.
"We had about a little over 8 1/2 tons of fish on the boat that we'd caught in the last seven days. That's a value of about $40,000, and just to have that snatched away is rough," Mark said.
While the boat hull was insured, that won't cover the loss of their fishing gear, catch and personal belongings.
Still, Mark and Cynthia are counting their blessings -- and already thinking of their next fishing trip.
"We've got to get another boat," Mark said. "That's all there is to it -- gotta get another boat and go fishing."
Here's more on their dramatic sea story, as written by Mark's sister, Debra:
Their work is a bit unconventional. Married for 32 years, the couple has fished together commercially for 25 years. They sold the boat they had owned for 17 years "Princess" just a couple of summers ago in order to buy a bigger boat with greater holding capacity and more stability in rough seas. They put in uncountable hours, overcoming numerous challenges with the 60 ft. "Sea Princess," remodeling, sanding, painting, troubleshooting, sweating, repairing, reconditioning, testing, and installing new systems where needed.
Their fishing season in 2012 was a trying one, with many mechanical problems to work through. They limped in from sea more than once. More repairs needed, more money invested. After a long frugal winter, spring came and it was back to work on the boat.
After three very full months working 12-14 hours every day, they finally felt everything was ready to go. They went out to sea July 30th and, according to an e-mail from Mark that day, "The boat is all painted up pretty and everything is in working order."
Theirs is grueling work …. up to 16 hour days, catching each and every tuna individually on a line, carefully handling each fish so as not to bruise it and immediately chilling it down to preserve maximum freshness.
They catch and handle upwards of 200 fish on a good day. They sell their catch under their own brand, "Catch of the Sea" as pouched tuna to New Seasons Market, a grocery store chain in the greater Portland area dedicated to supporting local sustainable agriculture and small businesses, as well as selling retail on the web site catchofthesea.com.
All their hard work was paying off, things were running efficiently and the tuna were biting. Mark made a routine check in the engine room Monday evening, August 5th.
Nothing was out of order.
He went back up to the cabin area, and about half an hour later, he heard the main backfire a couple times and then, " BOOM!"
Suddenly, there was a huge explosion.
Cynthia was thrown backwards 5 or 6 feet. Both Mark and Cynthia suffered flash burns on their faces.
Luckily, they had their ear plugs in and rain gear on which protected them.
Mark related, "My first thought when I looked at the damage to the port side of the boat was, 'How am I going to fix this?'"
He jumped down the ladder into the engine room to assess the damage there, thinking that the explosion must have blown out the caulking between the planks and he would get pumps running.
He saw ocean and sky where there should have been boat hull. Water was starting to rush in that no pump would keep up with.
Cynthia got into her survival suit and gathered her purse and a few personal items strewn in the chaos left in the living area in the wake of the blast.
Mark, meanwhile, frantically searched for their two kitties they had rescued from animal shelters. Topaz and Jasper were hiding, terrified.
Cynthia pleaded with Mark to get into his survival suit and trust the kitties to follow their instincts and swim. Mark finally gave in, got into his survival suit and went overboard after radioing the Coast Guard they were abandoning ship. Cynthia had already called their fishing partners, who were a couple miles away.
They waited, floating in the cold, dark Pacific Ocean, watching with despair as all their hard work and their livelihood slowly sank, grateful that they had both survived without major injury and they had each other, not knowing what the future would hold, but knowing they would face it together.
Their friends' boat, Peso II, arrived and they were pulled out of the water, dried off, put in clothing many sizes too big, but dry and warm.
They began pulling odd pieces of floating debris out of the water and continued to watch "Sea Princess" sink.
Wait, there was Topaz swimming! They were able to rescue her, and it was a happy reunion.
Did Jasper survive?
Then they saw Jasper on the bow of the sinking boat. Jasper waited until the bow completely disappeared under water and was forced to swim. When he got a safe distance from the sinking bulk, they were able to rescue him as well.
The family was complete. Aboard the Peso II, it was a 16-hour run back into port at Coos Bay.
"It took about 45 minutes for the boat to completely go under," recalled Mark, still in shock after the ordeal. "I don't even know what happened, exactly, but whatever it was, it happened fast.
"I don't know if something cracked or a pinhole leak opened up. Fuel vaporized and ignited. It was like a bomb going off. The outcome would have been very different if I had been in the engine room when it happened. I wouldn't be here telling you the story. I keep feeling like it has all been a bad dream."
Now they are home in La Pine, trying to pick up the pieces and make a plan for the future as best they can.
This is a huge emotional loss for them. Fishing and boats are their life, not just their livelihood. The financial loss for them is huge as well, 25 years of working up to a boat in this class, all gone in moments.
Many personal items are gone, as they lived on the boat and it was their home in the summer. All the accumulated fishing gear and related items are gone, some of which are not manufactured anymore and can't be replaced.
They invested everything they had getting this boat up to Marks' standards of safety and maintenance, which according to his buddies is much higher than most.
Comments were made by others in the fishing community just after "Sea Princess" sank, "If this could happen to Mark and Cynthia, it could happen to any of us out here."
"I'm thankful for all the thought and preparation for potential disaster aboard a boat at sea that we put in," Mark said. "You never think it will happen to you, but we were always aware it does happen and we needed to be prepared."
He had just taken a refresher Coast Guard training course this spring to make sure he had the latest information about survival at sea.
Schneider said Tuesday, "(I) hope good things can come from a bad situation for us. If we can help others think about being prepared for whatever life throws at us, we can survive."
The tight-knit fishing community on the Oregon coast is stepping up to help the couple recover. At the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/NewportFishermensWives, this note is posted:
"If you haven't heard, F/V Sea Princess sank after an engine area explosion while albacore fishing. During the summer, the owner and his wife live aboard the vessel. With nearly three decades of experience, he credits his training with the Coast Guard that saved their lives. The boat was recently re-outfitted for this season so you can imagine the loss is nothing short of devastating. We are grateful for their safety and have set up donations on their behalf. If you would like to make a donation to the Schneider Family, please visit www.newportfishermenswives.com. When making a donation, please notate that you would like the funds to go to the Schneider Family. Thank you for helping us come together in helping a fellow fishing family in need."

Under Frederick, LV Review-Journal has become dumping ground for conservative misinformation
Research ››› ››› BRIAN FREDERICK
Since 2008, Las Vegas Review-Journal publisher Sherman Frederick has written numerous blog posts and columns advancing conservative attacks on President Obama, Sen. Harry Reid, and other Democrats. These blog posts and columns are rife with smears, factual errors, and conspiracy theories.
Frederick's falsehoods
Frederick falsely claims all domestic terrorist attacks since 9-11 took place "on Obama's watch." In his January 3 column titled "Obama can't keep us safe," Frederick falsely claimed that "the two cases of domestic terrorism since 9/11" happened "on Obama's watch." In fact, while Frederick downplayed the number of attacks on the United States under former President Bush, there were numerous post-9-11 terrorist attacks attempted during the Bush administration, including the attempted detonation of an explosive device on an airplane by shoe bomber Richard Reid, the 2002 attack against the El Al ticket counter at LAX, the DC-area sniper, the 2006 UNC SUV attack, and the anthrax attacks.
Frederick says he has "zero confidence" in the "science" of global warming. In a March 2 blog post, Frederick wrote: "Dunno about you, but the revelations coming out of what is now commonly called 'Climategate' give me zero confidence in the 'science' of global warning [sic]." In fact, the overwhelming scientific consensus is that human-caused global warming is real. Moreover, FactCheck.org analyzed the emails and concluded that claims that the emails show climate change science is fraudulent are "far wide of the mark," adding that "many of the e-mails that are being held up as 'smoking guns' have been misrepresented by global-warming skeptics eager to find evidence of a conspiracy. And even if they showed what the critics claim, there remains ample evidence that the earth is getting warmer."
Frederick suggests cold weather casts doubt on global warming. In a February 28 blog post, Frederick wrote:
A few errors here and there don't change the overall facts of cataclysmic global warming, says Al Gore's in the New York Times today.
You can read his defense here. In the meanwhile, buddy, can you spare a blanket? It's crazy c-c-c-cold today.
In fact, local weather phenomena do not disprove scientific consensus that global warming is real.
Frederick hopes for "[n]ew climate data that disproves the folly of global-warming." In a November 29, 2009, column, Frederick offered a Thanksgiving toast to, among other things: "New climate data that disproves the folly of global-warming and lays bare the political agenda of the socialists among us. Thanks for the 'two-fer,' Mother Nature!"
Frederick falsely suggests "card check" eliminates the secret ballot. In a November 29, 2009, column, Frederick offered a Thanksgiving toast to, among other things: "Workplaces free from 'card check' legislation. May good people everywhere retain the right to determine their fate in fair elections held by secret ballot." In fact, currently it is employers, not workers, who have the right to demand a secret ballot; the Employee Free Choice Act would strip employers of that right but employees would be able to utilize the "secret ballot" election process.
Frederick falsely suggests health care bills will treat "illegal aliens" better than U.S. citizens. In a November 29, 2009, column, Frederick expressed desire for a "health care 'reform' bill that treats American citizens better than illegal aliens." In fact, neither the House nor the Senate bill provided for subsides for those "not lawfully present" in the United States to receive coverage.
Frederick: "Next stop" on "Obama freight train to socialism" is "[r]ationed health care." In a June 21, 2009, column, Frederick wrote:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is portrayed as grown too big to fail, and he's convinced everyone who's anyone in my home city of Las Vegas to join him on the Obama freight train to socialism. Next stop: Rationed health care, union card check and $10-a-gallon gasoline. All aboard!
Republicans offer our only hope in slowing the Obama "change" juggernaut before the America of unbridled optimism and opportunity goes the way of the buffalo. I don't want my great-grandchildren growing up in cradle-to-grave government care, where only the privileged few may afford a car, or own a home, or get non-rationed health care.
In fact, insurance companies already ration care. Insurance companies acknowledge that they ration care, restricting coverage of procedures and tests like MRIs and CAT scans and denying coverage for pre-existing medical conditions.
Frederick advances conspiracy theories
Frederick reprints right-wing email questioning Obama's passport. In a May 27, 2009, blog post titled "The 16th question: Obama's passport," Frederick wrote:
One wise Las Vegan (he won't let me use his name, but any politician would know who he is and stand in awe) says that in addition to my "15 questions" for President Obama, I should ask a 16th question ... and that question is this: "What passport did Mr. Obama use when he was shuttling between New York, Jakarta, and Karachi?"
Where what he sends to back up the validity of that question. I pass it along to you without comment.
Frederick then reprinted a right-wing email -- which has been debunked -- that stated: "Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he managed to become a 'natural born' American citizen between 1981 and 2008. Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better."
Frederick's conspiracy theory: Reid behind Tea Party candidate running against him. In a February 22 blog, titled in part, "Reid's sneaky 'Tea Party' candidate," Frederick wrote:
And finally, don't fail to read this morning's story in the Las Vegas Review-Journal on this so-called Tea Party candidate who is allegedly going to run against Harry Reid.
Repped by a Democrat, a Las Vegas businessman no one has heard of has found the statewide organization to potentially get the "Tea Party" on the ballot and run as its standard bearer.
C'mon, man! You buying that?
Nationally, the Tea Party movement has avoided party status and candidates. Except Nevada? You gotta believe the Reid campaign, or some form thereof, is behind this tactic.
And frankly, it's a brilliant tactic. If Reid can get the Tea Party name on the ballot, it will absolutely shift some votes away from the Republican candidate, who in a head-to-head matchup right now beats Reid hands down.
Frederick's smears and attacks
Frederick: "The War on Terror has been totally mishandled by this administration, making us all less safe." In a February 11 blog post, Frederick wrote:
No question Team Obama fumbled just about every ball thrown to them in their first year.
The War on Terror has been totally mishandled by this administration, making us all less safe.
Frederick: Drudge "cleverly right" with headline attacking health care. In a March 21 blog post, Frederick wrote: "Drudge's headline tonight has it cleverly right: 'A DATE WHICH WILL LIVE IN INFIRMARY'."
Frederick reprints entire GOP press release attacking Reid. In a February 24 blog post, Frederick wrote:
How bare-knuckles rough will it get in Harry Reid's race for U.S. Senate?
Spittin' blood rough as indicated by this press release this afternoon from the Sue Lowden, one of several Republicans hoping to gain the GOP nomination.
Frederick then reprinted Lowden's press release attacking Reid and accusing him of "living off the Nevada taxpayer his entire adult life, gladly accepting generous pay raises and writing government-run health care bills that he won't even enroll in himself."
Frederick runs photo of large sign "Elect Anyone Butt Harry Reid." In a January 24 blog post titled, "Reid trouble illustrated," Frederick ran a large photo of a trailer with the words "Elect Anyone Butt Harry Reid."
Frederick promotes Dick Morris column: "Pelosi and Reid Plot Secret Plan for Obamacare." In a January 25 blog post titled, "Reid's kamikaze Obamacare plan," Frederick promoted a column by Fox News contributor Dick Morris on Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid's "secret plan for Obamacare."
Frederick promotes tea parties, Sarah Palin
Frederick: Tea Party Express tour "shaping up to be a political Woodstock for concerned Americans." In a February 23 blog post, Frederick promoted the Tea Party Express and attacked Reid:
On Saturday, March 27, the "Tea Party Express" will begin its "Just Vote Them Out!" tour starting in Searchlight, Nev, home of the poster child for angry voters in America, Sen. Harry Reid.
Sarah Palin will help kick off the tour.
Looks to me like it's shaping up to be a political Woodstock for concerned Americans.
You can get the details here. And, of course, the Las Vegas Review-Journal will be delivering full coverage in the morning newspaper and our website,which you can find here. Both the newspaper and the website are the largest respectively in Nevada. And, Tea Party folks will be interested to know that, yes, this is the newspaper Harry wished would go out of business. You can find my response to that outrageous statement here.
Frederick: Obama's legacy will depend "on how badly he wounds the American economy and how quickly Sarah Palin can fix it." In a March 3 blog post, Frederick wrote:
This will no doubt evoke a knee-jerk reaction from Bush haters but the thoughtful takeaway goes to the honesty of the Bush Administration.
Twenty years from now, we'll remember the Bush years as good and brave years.
The four years of Obama fumbling, however, will all depend on how badly he wounds the American economy and how quickly Sarah Palin can fix it.
Frederick: "Sarah Palin for President!" In a February 7 blog post titled "Sarah Palin for president!" Frederick wrote:
She was the queen of the tea party in Nashville.
What's the wisdom of the blog hive? Is she ready?

Right-Wing Media Tout New Conspiracy Over DOJ's Involvement In Voting Rights Act Bailouts
Blog ››› ››› SERGIO MUNOZ
Opponents of effective voting rights enforcement have taken to right-wing media outlets to allege that the Department of Justice engaged in "collusive," "illegal," and "crooked" acts for its role in the determination of whether a California county and the state of New Hampshire qualify to opt-out of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). But these allegations of "trickery," most recently pushed by National Review Online contributor Hans von Spakovsky, ignore that DOJ is complying with the text of the VRA as interpreted by the courts.
Two former Bush administration DOJ officials have accused the department of acting improperly in the successful removal of Merced County, California, from the voter protection requirements of Section 5 and the ongoing consideration of such an opt-out for New Hampshire. Writing on the right-wing blog PJ Media, J. Christian Adams argued that in the Merced case DOJ had "ignore[d] the law" and "conned" a federal court as part of an "elaborate legal ruse" to preserve the VRA in Shelby County v. Holder, the case in which the U.S. Supreme Court will consider a claim that Section 5 is unconstitutional. Continuing this attack, von Spakovsky accused the DOJ in the National Review Online of similar "deception" and "manipulation" of the VRA in its considerations of the New Hampshire case, again in order to "manipulate the Supreme Court in the Shelby case." A conservative advocacy group immediately adopted their argument and filed a motion to intervene in the New Hampshire case, as was predicted by election law expert and law professor Rick Hasen:
I expect this argument to get a lot of play.
The great irony here, for those who don't follow this issue closely, is that you have people who oppose section 5 of the VRA complaining that DOJ is making it too easy for those jurisdictions subject to its preclearance provision to escape from the Act's coverage.
Under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, Southern jurisdictions who illegally denied citizens the right to vote during the Jim Crow era - and subsequent jurisdictions that engaged in similar conduct - are forbidden from changing covered election practices without federal approval. There is a legal opt-out to Section 5, by which jurisdictions can "bailout" of the "preclearance" requirements by proving they are no longer breaking the law. To encourage successful bailouts, Congress increasingly "liberalized" this process. Similarly, the Supreme Court in its last VRA case -NAMUDNO v. Holder - "rewrote" the bailout requirements to encourage even more use of the process.
Nevertheless, right-wing activists have successfully placed the Shelby case before the Supreme Court, which could release all covered jurisdictions if Section 5 is declared unconstitutional. Adams and von Spakovsky, who quote anonymous sources and internal DOJ documents to support their arguments, argue that DOJ has "designed" a "legal strategy" to avoid this outcome by aggressively following NAMUDNO.
Beyond the unremarkable fact that the DOJ - the defendant in Shelby - would prefer not to both lose the case and part of the most effective civil rights law in history, Adams and von Spakovsky misrepresent the bailout cases to claim neither Merced nor New Hampshire qualify. Adams complains that the extensive DOJ investigation of Merced's bailout request revealed that the county should have submitted certain past election changes for preclearance and because the county "settled" a Section 5 case, it was ineligible for bailout. But Merced's counsel responded to Adams' accusations, pointing out that "case law under Section 5...holds that the preclearance obligation can be retroactively satisfied":
Mr. Adams is simply incorrect about the Lopez litigation. There was no "settlement"; the County won that lawsuit outright, having summary judgment granted in its favor. See Lopez v. Merced County, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 3941 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 16, 2008). Thus, the County was not disqualified from bailout by virtue of the provision relating to consent decrees entered within the last 10 years. 42 U.S.C. § 1973b(a)(1)(B).
[R]egarding the submission of a number of historical voting changes for preclearance in connection with the bailout, there are a number of points to be made:
Section 5 itself provides that oversights in preclearance compliance may be forgiven in a bailout action if they were "were trivial, were promptly corrected, and were not repeated." 42 U.S.C. § 1973b(a)(3). In other words, Mr. Adams's implication that Section 5 has a "no tolerance" standard--and that the Attorney General is therefore ignoring the command of Congress--is refuted by the text of Section 5 itself.
"[P]ost hoc" preclearances are typical in connection with bailout, seriously undermining the notion that such an approach is part of a vast conspiracy to save Section 5.
Adams subsequently admitted "retroactive" preclearance was possible.
Von Spakovsky repeated Adams' claim that states seeking bailouts must not have "failed to submit for preclearance...voting changes they have made" over the past ten years, without acknowledging the retroactive preclearance that may occur for New Hampshire. Von Spakovsky used this misleading point as proof that New Hampshire is actually less qualified than Shelby County for a bailout, because New Hampshire allegedly has more unsubmitted preclearance requests than Shelby County did. But the footnote from the Shelby case on appeal that von Spakovsky partially quoted for the uncontroversial rule that unprecleared voting changes - absent retroactive approval - preclude bailout, explicitly notes that Shelby County's primary problem was DOJ's objection:
Although the Court did not permit discovery into the question of Shelby County's bailout-eligibility, it is clear -- based on undisputed facts in the record -- that Shelby County is not eligible for bailout. Under Section 4(a)(1)(E), a jurisdiction is only eligible for bailout if, during the ten years preceding its bailout request, "the Attorney General has not interposed any objection...with respect to any submission by or on behalf of the plaintiff or any governmental unit within its territory." 42 U.S.C. § 1973b(a)(1)(E). The Attorney General concedes that, in 2008, he interposed an objection [.]
