Longview coal port: a big plan well hidden
New documents show that an Australian company is planning to ship much more coal to China through Longview than it acknowledged. State and local officials may have been deliberately deceived.
The giant coal port planned for Longview might be much bigger than advertised, and a lot of people are unhappy about the developer's until-now-covert plans, The New York Times reported on Feb. 15. It's not every day that Cowlitz County makes the Times. But then it's not every day that documents suggest a major corporation has deliberately deceived state and local officials about a project's scale — or that a small Columbia River port becomes a focal point for climate-change litigation.
Millennium Bulk Logistics, a subsidiary of Australia's Ambre Energy, had said it would ship up to 5.7 million tons a year through the port. The coal would be strip-mined in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana, hauled by train through the Columbia River Gorge to Longview, and loaded onto bulk carriers for the long trip to China — which doesn't have enough coal to meet its growing demand. Each coal train would be 125 or possibly 150 cars long, pulled by four locomotives. Even a 125-car train is more than a mile long.
Now, it turns out that Millennium may have grossly understated the planned scale of the operation, proposed for a private terminal near Longview. "Court records show that leaders of the company planning to build the facility, now called Millennium Bulk Terminals, tried to limit what state officials knew about its long-term goals during the early permitting process last year," the Times reported. "The company's initial application described a facility that could export up to five million tons of coal per year. But court records show that the company hoped to greatly expand that amount in a second phase to 20 million tons or even 60 million tons annually."
Last November, the Cowlitz County commissioners granted Millennium a shoreline substantial development permit for the project. Climate Solutions, Columbia Riverkeeper, the Sierra Club, and the Washington Environmental Council, represented by Earthjustice, have appealed the permit decision to the state Shorelines Hearings Board. The board has scheduled a hearing for April 11. It has just granted the petitioners' motion to include the new evidence of planned expansion in the case. Meanwhile, at the end of last year, the state Department of Ecology intervened to challenge the permit. And Millennium has moved to have the appeal dismissed. The board will hear arguments about that on Feb. 25.
The documents about expansion plans emerged as part of the discovery process. "This stuff was buried in the middle of ... 35,000 pages of junk," Earthjustice attorney Jan Hasselman says. While the figure of 60 millions tons may be pretty speculative — it appears in what seems to be a confidential report aimed at investors — Hasselman says that "from a legal perspective, the most troubling piece is a thoroughly-fleshed-out plan to go to 25 million." He says "its the oldest trick in the book to carve your project up into little pieces to avoid an EIS."
But when is a plan not a plan? "Asked if the company plans to expand the facility, [Millennium CEO Joe] Cannon said, 'I don't want to sound like Bill Clinton here, but it depends on what you mean by 'plans,' " the Longview Daily News reported. The paper further quoted him: "There are people at the company in Australia and potential investors who would love to put more coal through this site. ... There is a big interest in expanding this facility. ... There are no current plans to do so.'"
At any scale, the dispute over the coal port is "really about the geopolitics of climate," says K.C. Golden, policy director of Climate Solutions. Burning coal produces carbon dioxide, which traps heat. It may at some future point be able to "sequester" the CO2 underground — the basis of the hope for "clean coal," which President Obama touted in his State of the Union address — but it isn't now. ("Some folks want wind and solar," the president said. "Others want nuclear, clean coal and natural gas. . . . [W]e will need them all.") Thanks largely to its use of coal, China passed the United States five years ago as the world's main emitter of greenhouse gases.
The groups appealing the Longview permit argue that the county commissioners violated the State Environmental Policy Act when they concluded the project didn't require an environmental impact statement. The commissioners looked only at construction and operation of the coal terminal itself. They didn't consider the environmental impacts of mining or transporting the coal, or "the impacts of transportation and combustion of exported coal in Asia, and the influence of increased exports on supply, demand and price of coal in international markets, which has a strong influence on energy planning decisions by incentivizing coal-fired power production and disincentivizing environmentally preferable alternatives. This last issue is particularly consequential as the 5.7 million tons per year of coal exported by this facility will generate over 11 million tons of carbon dioxide annually — roughly equivalent to the emissions of two million U.S. cars."
The petitioning groups argued that their members would be harmed because, among other things, "operation of this project will result in significant increases in Washington state's contribution to global emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants," which will contribute to "human-induced climate instability" and "increased conventional air and water pollution in Washington state."
The Department of Ecology has focused particularly on the greenhouse gases that those long coal trains would emit. Even within the borders of the state, the figure might be 75,000 metric tons per year.
Despite the rhetoric about clean energy, don't expect the United States to leave all that nasty combustible carbon in the ground. This country is the Persian Gulf of coal. U.S. coal reserves could supply all the nation's energy needs for centuries. Coal still generates roughly half the electricity used in this country, but many American utilities are switching to natural gas. They face the cost of cleaning up their emissions to meet increasingly rigorous environmental standards.
The utilities see carbon regulation or carbon taxes coming down the pike — although, with Republicans in control of the House and Obama's main energy adviser, Carol Browner, leaving the administration, neither taxes nor regulation will arrive any time soon. And natural gas prices have fallen. As a result, utilities have been abandoning coal — at least for now. Where can coal producers find new markets? In Asia. Both China and India are growing like gangbusters, and neither has an adequate local supply.
Reuters reported recently that "surging demand from Asia is pushing coal prices skyward, and suggested that "demand from India and China will continue to underpin prices. The duo recently emerged as among the greediest importers of coal — buying 10 times more from overseas than in 2003. And India's coal minister believes demand for the black rock will triple in the next two decades."
The trick is getting the coal to market. That's where Longview comes in — and perhaps Cherry Point and/or other Washington locations. A lot of coal currently goes through Vancouver, B.C., but that port has reached its capacity; and besides, it's a long way from the Power River basin.

"U.S. coal reserves could supply all the nation's energy needs for centuries." This is simply not true. Major recent studies demonstrate that the U.S. has significantly less coal reserves than industry would like us to believe, and coal will become more and more expensive to dig out of the ground over the coming decades and be of lower quality (meaning more pollution when burned). We should leave it in the ground anyways, basing our economy on the burning of fossil fuels that destroy our environment and will run out sooner rather than later is a losing proposition for everyone.

'Brian Schweitzer, who came west to discuss the issue with Gov. Chris Gregoire, reacted angrily to the environmental groups' appeal. "I'm going to be calling ... Gregoire, and I might suggest to her that she remind her constituents that they've kept their lights on for 30 years with our coal," Schweitzer said.' If you please, Gov. Schweitzer, if I may remind you of the following, extracted from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) | State/Territory Energy Profiles | Energy Data, Information, and Maps
"Typically accounting for close to three-fourths of (WA) State electricity generation, hydroelectric power dominates the electricity market in Washington. Coal-fired, natural gas-fired, and nuclear power plants account for roughly equal shares of the remaining generation." USEIA report updated 1/20/11
So I believe this means the state's percentage use of coal for power generation is roughly 8-10%.

This is an interesting follow-up on the NYT article. Based on what is presented here, I'm struggling to see how Millenium thinks it can win on the SEPA issues and why it's wasting time and energy on the appeal:
-- Shorelines Hearings Board review is de novo, which means it's not bound by the factual record established before the county commissioners. So admitting into evidence all the recent discoveries about bigger plans at the SHB appeal seems a foregone conclusion.
-- An environmental impact statement could be required simply on the basis of the project's sheer size and its potential impacts on conventional considerations like local transportation systems. Standing to raise these kinds of local issues would devolve upon any resident of Cowlitz County who lives in the area of the facility, thus finessing the need to perform some kind of esoteric analysis of exactly who has standing to raise generalized climate impacts. Once an EIS has been required for any reason, the climate issues could be mandated for study under the EIS scoping process.
-- The SEPA rules explicitly anticipate the hide-the-ball scenario as to future expansion plans and allow a threshold determination to be withdrawn at any time within the review process based on the discovery of significant new information. Thus the SHB itself could probably vacate the earlier determination of nonsignificance. The interesting question here might be whether the Board's de novo authority includes issuing a determination of significance itself or whether it needs to remand the SEPA process back to Cowlitz County with directions for further action. But either way the ultimate outcome is likely the same.
So, Mr. Chasan, am I missing something here? Or is this really the slam-dunk it appears to be?

Underneath the legal discussion contained in the article and in the comments is a moral strategy that is less admirable than appears at first. We should perhaps be glad that Boeing exports of commercial aircraft do not have to transit through Wyoming or Eastern Montana. The Boeing 747 (sales cheerfully reported in the local media) is also an emitter of CO2. Not as much as China but probably more than China on a per capita basis. Then one has to consider that at least some of the coal China burns is in pursuit of producing things we buy.
I think a true and honest response to the opposition to (admittedly dreadful) Chinese pollution would be to ban Chinese imports or, better, for the US consumer to voluntarily avoid buying Chinese imports. Instead we have these peripheral, convoluted and rather pointless legal sorties that just happen to penalise people who do not export the same things we do. I think some people feel righteous about this and that's a pity. We burn lots of fuel but ban drilling (OK, we are saving it for later generations, maybe not a bad strategy). We want to buy lots of things from China and they are, so far, willing to lend whatever we need (money being extremely fungible it does get around to imports). At some time the Asian economies, including China, are going to want something other than promissory notes for what they sell us (we should want that also). They are willing to buy coal. The legal white hats are saying not now, not coal. But sometime, something.

It is difficult to understand the anger behind Governor Brian Schweitzer. The number of jobs supported by coal mining is pitifully small compared to the overall Montana economy. Currently, there are only 942 coal mining jobs in Montana. The number of jobs that would be added by the Longview coal port would be only a small addition to this existing total.
This compares to the forest product industry with a total number of jobs of about 7000.
"Total forest industry employment during 2009 was about 7,070 workers (including the self-employed), down by about 20 percent from the revised 2008 estimate of 8,840 workers."

I'd suggest that Governor Schweitzer look instead at his states' potential to export clean wind power.
"Montana ranks fifth among states for wind energy potential, with an estimated average wind power output of 116,000-MWs (Wind Today 2008). As of 2007, Montana had 146-MW of capacity and another 500-MW under construction, illustrating the vast gap between current and potential development."
Ref: Nature Conservancy, Jan 2009
Posted Fri, Feb 18, 9:10 a.m.
Governor Schweitzer may resent the Monkey Wrench Gang tactics used by Washington
attorneys. The discussion in the article mentions the trains. About 35 trains per day pass a friend's house in Blue Ridge, only a handful are passenger trains and a large portion are over a mile in length. Only a few neighborhoods in Seattle are even aware of this traffic in spite of the fact that there are probably a dozen grade crossing in the city. So tell me why mile long trains should be a problem in Longview. If the exported material were mined in Washington there would be little or no discussion. For example, I am not aware of any objections to the storage and loading of logs in Longview, much of it for export. Exporting our timber, OK. Exporting MT coal not OK.
This is not a shining example of environmental litigation.

I know this because he documents his life on Myspace daily. He believes he is still 25 and in the Marine Corp ( his actual age is 49).My question is, is this a product of his bipolar condition?

Hi i am 19 and a sophomore in college. I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and I have had panic attacks since I was 8. I have tried medicine and counseling but nothing has really helped. I have already given up so many opportunities in my life because of my fear to have an anxiety attack. I have given up soccer and even lost friends to my fears. No one around me really knows what to do and it has been causing me to slide into a depression. My grades have began to fall and I am afraid that I have lost control of my entire life. No one truly knows how bad my anxiety has gotten over the past few years, because of fear of judgement. Anyone have any advise?
Your comment....
Hi there. I am so sorry that you have been suffering. I feel so ineffectual because I don't really know what advice to give you except for maybe trying a different doctor. (you wrote you took meds, but you didn't mention what kind...I also wonder if you saw a psychiatrist for your anxiety. You probably did. Since that didn't work out, is it at all possible for you to see a different medical professional who specializes in anxiety disorders?) I know all that costs money and takes time and it's so hard to deal with that when you are only 19 and in school. Have you tried locating a support group? They are listed on this site -- that might be worth considering. Good luck to you.
I totally understand what
I totally understand what you're going through. I agree w/ the previous post about trying a new doctor. When you call to make an appointment, ask the receptionist to speak w/ a nurse. That's a good way of finding out if the doctor will actually listen to what you're going through rather than just telling you to "deal w/ it" or whatever. There are so many effective meds. You may just need to try different ones or a combination of them. Also, my doctor told me that you CAN go to the ER/Urgent Care w/ panic attack symptoms if it's really bad, and they'll probably give you xanax or something (I'm guessing there, but you know what I mean). I may sound like I'm all "meds meds meds", but that's only because that's the only thing that has really helped me. I take Gabapentin, which is a somewhat unconventional for anxiety. I've done breathing exercises (still do them), and I cut out caffeine COMPLETELY, and I still have really bad anxiety. A prescription is the only thing that has really helped me in any kind of measurable way.
Good luck, and you've got people who understand and care about you here! xoxo

The problem is with Windows Phone share as its growth can't manage to pick up the faster pace and therefore the cell phone maker is also facing several hiccups as it has bet its company success on the Windows phone operating system.
The study, conducted by Localytics, shows that just since January, the number of Windows Phone handsets has grown 312% worldwide and 273% in the U.S. Nokia's share of the global Windows Phone market, meanwhile, has gone from 22% of the market to nearly 60% (and its U.S. share has gone from zero to 32%).
Right now the Finland based company's shares are up nearly 90% from their low reached in July, after a series of positive news articles added optimism for the company's prospects. The company faced turmoil ever since it reported earnings on July 19 when shares fell well below $2. Since then, the cell phone maker announced the sale of Qt software, a compiler for Symbian apps, launched the Asha 311 smartphone in the UAE, and is rumored to be launching Windows Phone 8 on Verizon Communications this year. Current market sources are reporting Nokia will announce two Windows Phone 8 devices as early as September 5. Nokia broke out of its current downward moving tunnel it had been in since June. Which begs the question, should investors be shedding their money by buying for future benefits?
In the second quarter 4 million Lumia devices were sold; a sharp 200% increase from Q1. Net cash reached EUR 4.2 billion by a decreasing effect of EUR 700 million in the last Q. Gross cash was EUR 9.4 billion. Smart device sales also declined by 10% due to lower sales of Symbian. For recognizing excess component inventory there was EUR 220 million in allowances from its Smart Devices. Future allowances could be made dependent on future sales and the net impact on the recognition for its devices and services units was a 550 basis point decline. The cell phone maker through promotional activities will show the impact of Windows Phone 8 for Windows Phone 7 sales. The company will also differentiate itself from other makers by redefining mapping and location-based NAVTEQ services.
Now, let's come to Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) whose market value surpassed the record set by Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). Up to now, Apple's shares have gained 64 percent, endowing it with market capitalization of $623.5 billion, which is more that the Windows maker's 1999 value of $620.8 billion at time of technology boom creating a world history. The tablet king also earned more than $1 billion on Aug. 24, because Samsung has infringed on six of seven patents for mobile devices. Samsung's patent loss against Apple will change the cost of Android for other manufacturers. This paves the way for long waiting Nokia again to acquire a better position in this rat race.
Successive Nokia Lumia launches will be accompanied with better support at the retail sales level and Lumia 610 and 900 devices has already increased their sales record in China and Latin America. To sustain Nokia's global market share the Asha feature phone product will contribute a lot. Windows phone 8 will be supported with updates from the Windows maker at least for 18 months. Again, Nokia is cutting a lot of expenses for their future. These make several reasons for the investors to invest.
Nokia is a very speculative company to invest and its shares are sold off sharply after the company acquired market position. Although the current quarter of the company is not up to the mark but investors with a long term thought may invest as because there is a golden line of hope in the coming future. Nokia, the world's second-largest cell phone maker is already doing R&D to assure its investors a remarkable return. So let us see what Nokia can do in the coming quarter.

It's almost that time of year again. Toy Fair 2008 is just over a week away.
As an action figure collector Toy Fair is one of the two most exciting times of the year (Comic Con International in San Diego being the other). The sneak peek into what the year ahead holds for toys is generally a lot of fun.
As I sit here typing these words I began to remember what a let down Toy Fair 2007 was. I don't know if it was a matter of unrealistic expectations that went unmet that resulted in the disappointment, but I'm trying to approach this year's event more cautiously.
Mattel has already stated that DC Universe Classics Wave 4 won't be revealed until the NY Comic Con in April, so don't bother looking for that news out of Toy Fair.
Last year Hasbro had a pitiful showing for Marvel Legends, so expectations are low for this year. However, I'm more looking forward to seeing what their 3-3/4" Marvel Universe line looks like.
There is still an awful lot that I am looking forward to from this year's show. I had virtually stopped collecting Star Wars by late 2006, but 2007 was a great year (imho) for the line. I'm looking forward to what 2008 offers.
Just in the 3-3/4" category alone 2008 looks awesome. Indiana Jones. Marvel. Narnia. Speed Racer. Star Wars. GI Joe. Heck, even WWE. Plus the various 3-3/4" military stuff from Unimax, bbi and 21st Century Toys, etc. Good stuff.
I can't wait to see Mezco's Hellboy II: The Golden Army line. Their figures from the first movie are still amongst my favorites.
I know better than to expect pictures of 2008 offerings for Doctor Who from Character Options. They will, as usual, be shrouded in BBC-induced secrecy and doled out as the year goes by.
McFarlane Toys should be unveiling Halo 3 Wave 3 either at the show or on their website. I've probably spent less than $30 on McFarlane products in the last 5 years combined. This year? I'm buying every Halo item from them I can get my grubby mits on.
Corgi/Popco has really emerged as a contender in the action figure category with their fine offerings last year for Harry Potter and The Golden Compass. Looks like the big one for them this year is the long-overdue James Bond line. Between Bond and the rumours that the 3-3/4" Harry Potter line might see US distribution has me keeping a close eye on Corgi this year!
Will this be the year that Shocker Toys wows us with their showing? Could be interesting based upon the last batch of photos they released. Now just bring 'em to market, guys!
However much I'm looking to seeing the above and finding out line plans, the best part of Toy Fair, for me, is the surprises. The lines you didn't see coming. Here's hoping the 2008 show delivers more in that category than the 2007 event did.
My dream line? A 3-3/4" DC Comics line. I don't really care if it's from Mattel or DC Direct (though, honestly, I'd prefer Mattel at this point) I just want my favorite comics characters in my favorite scale. C'mon, is that really too much to ask?

Now You See It: How the Brain Science of Attention Will Transform the Way We Live, Work, and Learn (MP3 CD)
This Book Is Not Sold Online - In Store Special Order Only
Special Order - Subject to Availability
When Cathy Davidson and Duke University gave free iPods to every member of the incoming freshman class in 2003, they didn't expect the uproar that followed. Critics called it a waste: What educational value could a music player have for college kids? Yet by the end of the year, Duke students had found academic uses for the new devices in virtually every discipline. The iPod experiment proved to be a classic example of the power of disruption ? a way of refocusing attention to illuminate unseen possibilities. Using cutting-edge research on the brain, Davidson shows how the phenomenon of ?attention blindness? shapes our lives, and how it has led to one of the greatest problems of our historical moment: Although we blog, tweet, and text as if by instinct, far too many of us still toil in schools and workplaces designed for the last century, not the one we live in. To change this, we must ask ourselves critical questions: How can we redesign our schools to prepare our kids for the challenges they?ll face as adults? What will the workers and workplaces of the future look like? And how can we learn to adapt to life changes that seem almost too revolutionary to contemplate? Davidson takes us on a tour of the future of work and education, introducing us to visionaries whose groundbreaking ideas will soon affect us all. Now You See It opens a window onto the possibilities of a world in which the rigid ideas of the twentieth century have been wiped away and replaced with the flowing, collaborative spirit built into the very design of the Internet.

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
Walmart says it has pulled a batch of powdered infant formula from stores nationwide after a newborn Missouri boy became gravely ill with a suspected infection and died after being taken off life support.
Walmart spokeswoman Dianna Gee said Wednesday the move is cautionary as health officials investigate Sunday's death of 10-day-old Avery Cornett of Lebanon, Mo.
No government recall has been ordered for the 12.5-ounce cans of Enfamil Newborn powder with the lot number ZP1J7G.
The Lebanon Daily Record reports Avery received a preliminary diagnosis of infection from a rare bacterium called Cronobacter sakazakii.
The formula's manufacturer, Mead Johnson Nutrition, says the batch Walmart pulled tested negative for the bacterium. Spokesman Christopher Perille says numerous companies sell the formula, though it's unclear if others sold from that batch.

The Goodguys Rod and Custom Association, now in it's 28th year of promoting hot rod and custom car events, brought their road show to scenic Del Mar, California for the fourth or 21 events in 2011.
The upscale community of Del Mar, where many of the world's rich and famous have resided, is located in North San Diego on the coast.
Time Magazine listed Del Mar's 15th street beach as the fourth greatest beach in the world and the Beach Boys included the town in their hit song "Surfin' USA." It's little wonder that the hot rod crowd looks forward to the Goodguys Del Mar Nationals every year for the last 11 years.
"The Del Mar event is one of the Goodguys car events where the car owners actually cruise the main strip," said Detroit Speed's Stacy Tucker. "If you find a good spot on the strip and wait, the cars all come to you."
Anticipating what awaited us beyond the entrance gate, there was no way we were going to sit on a corner a wait for the cars to come to us. We tighten up our shoelaces and started hiking from the parking lot to the closest section of cars near the back gate.
As we made our way down the parameter road toward the displays of cars, we talked with Goodguys event spokesman John Drummond. "There's a lot of special events that are happening this weekend," Drummond said. "The autocross event is taking place today (Friday), the Editor's Challenge is happening on Saturday and on Sunday the 2011 Street Rod d'Elegance award will be announced" he added.
As we approached the fairgrounds, there was a mixture of Beach Boys music and a symphony of V8's.
When the cars came into view, we were immediately transformed back in history, surrounded by the greatest muscle cars and hot rods in automotive history.
The sights and sounds of the event hearkened back to a day when times were simpler and Friday's were made for cruising.
Our eyes were filled by Buick Sunmist Gray, Chevrolet Tropical Turquoise, Dodge Charger Red and Ford Lustre Black. Pre WWII Flathead Fords, 1940's Plymouths, 1950's Chevys, 1960's Mustangs, GTOs, 4-4-2s, Chevelles and Road Runners lined up from gate to gate at the fairgrounds.
We stopped and watched some of these automotive marvels run on the autocross course, each car pushing the limits of their handling through the series of corners lined by orange cones.
There was something special about these drivers, who had spent countless hours restoring these marvelous machines, running against the clock and each other on this tightly spaced course.
Every driver had their eyes focused on the course and a smile on their face, regardless of the speed they managed to coax out of these machines.
After watching the autocross street challenge for an hour, we moved on to the Show and Shine portion of the event. The Show and Shine portion of the car show is set up where similar type cars are parked together in special parking areas.
The "Trick Truck Corral" is where all the custom hot rod trucks were displayed, The "Mighty Muscle" area featured vintage cars from Detroit's muscle car period and "Homebuilt Heaven" is where owners showed their custom build hot rods off.
Other areas were reserved for California's surf scene cars in the "Good Wood" area, daily drivers in the "You gotta driver 'em" section and youth was served in the "Young Guys" section.
We spent the rest of the day walking through the special parking sections admiring the vehicles that represented decades of automobile history. Like Stacy Tucker had told us, many of these cars fired up and cruised down the main drag putting on a show that can only be called a rolling museum.
We left the event Friday evening with our cameras full of pictures and our thoughts on Saturday's events. In particular, the Editor's Challenge Autocross event where three of the powerTV editors would test their mettle against other editors in the industry.
Saturday's events got underway at a very early 9:00 a.m. West coast start time with the Street Challenge Autocross. Once again the enthusiasts challenged the course, the clock and each other by taking their machines through the cone lined autocross course.
With tires smoking and cones flying, vintage custom cars tackled the course one by one. At 1:00 p.m. the real fun began when Goodguys annual Editor's Challenge got underway.
Writers from the top automotive magazines in the nation took turns running a lap in a Chevy, Ford and a Mopar. In total, 16 editors took part in the 4th annual edition of the Editor's Challenge with 11-time SCCA AutoCross National Champion 'ringer' Mary Pozi posting the quickest time to no one's surprise.
"I've attended all of these Editor's Shootouts and this was by far the most competitive," she said. "I'd like to thank the sponsors as well as the companies who donated their cars for this – it was a blast! I'd also like to thank Goodguys for holding the autocross events. It gets people into the event a lot more than sitting in a lawn chair. This was great."
While the Hot Rod Seminars were taking place in the Mission Tower at the fairgrounds, Revelle's "Kids Make and Take" model car building event was going on in the model building while the Rock and Roll show was happening in the Plaza de Mexico and the Paddock main stage.
The San Diego crowd continued to dance the night away when the live music at the car show ended and everyone moved to the Del Mar Hilton across the street where the Goodguys event planning was headquartered.
The final day of events were highlighted by the Rodder's church service in the Mission tower hosted by the Christian Rodders Association followed by the Rock and Roll show's continuation from the previous evening.
The Goodguys tour is known for their awards program which is always held on the final day, with awards like the Goodguys Builder's Choice Top Ten, PPG Dream Car, Finalist for Muscle Car of the Year award, Truck of the Year and Muscle Machine of the Year awards.
The award that everyone seemed to be waiting for at this event was the prestigious Street Rod d' Elegance award which was awarded to Rancho Sante Fe's Jeffrey Chandler and his 1933 Ford Roadster.
The Street Rod d' Elegance award is presented annually at the Del Mar Nationals Goodguys event in which the winner receives an anodized billet award for the mantle, a customized toolbox from Snap-on as well as travel accommodations to the 14th Southwest Nationals, November 18-20 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
A stunned Chandler accepted his trophy and stated "We honestly did not expect this. I wasn't prepared to be interviewed as the winner." Whether he expected it or not, Jeffrey Chandler took the honors with his completely hand built red and black roadster.
The day wound down with the locals taking in the last views of this traveling road show while the vendors packed away their wares and car owners prepared their cars for the next Goodguys event scheduled for May 20th through May 22nd in Nashville, Tennessee.
We bid our fair well to the friends we made at the event with a promise to see them again at the end of the year in the Goodguys newest annual event scheduled for the tour, the 1st Annual Del Mar Fall Nationals in late November. Until then, we have the thousands of photos that we shot and memories for a lifetime.

Newark, Paterson and Jersey City want school independence from N.J. Board of Ed |
Not too shy to talk
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012 ... erson_and_jersey_cit.html
An electronic system that tracks students' credit acquisition as they prepare to graduate high school and extending the school day in a quarter of city schools are a few of the achievements Newark Superintendent Cami Anderson reported to state officials who control her school district this afternoon. The state Board of Education held a special meeting at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City to hear presentations from superintendents in Newark, Paterson and Jersey City — three urban school districts that have been controlled by the state for as many as two decades. Anderson spoke of her successes over the past year — her first as superintendent of the state's largest district — and also her challenges. One of the biggest hurdles to the district's success, Anderson said, is the need for state lawmakers to pass tenure reform legislation. "I've done my part to paint a picture on where we are and why we badly need a better statute. Right now, you get tenure by being around for three years," Anderson said. "In an era of declining enrollment, you have to be able to make hiring and downsizing decisions based on performance." A bill sponsored by state Sen. Teresa Ruiz (D-Essex) that would dramatically overhaul the state's century-old tenure law may be fast-tracked in Trenton this month. Another bill, sponsored by state Assemblyman Patrick Diegnan (D-Middlesex), would extend the time it takes to earn tenure and will be considered in committee Thursday. Anderson's status report on changes in the district included moves to close some failing, under-enrolled schools and open new ones; replace ineffective principals with more dynamic school leaders; and create an Office of Community and Family Engagement to address Newarkers' concerns. STAY CONNECTED 24/7 Download our free NJ.com mobile and tablet apps to keep up with the latest New Jersey news, sports and entertainment.Members of the state Board of Education, in comments to Anderson, seemed impressed with her work, but it's unlikely the superintendent's achievements to-date will influence whether the district is controlled by Newarkers or by Trenton. Last year, state officials opted not to relinquish control of the district in spite of Newark's success on a state assessment known as QSAC. A spokesman for the Department of Education could not be reached for comment on Anderson's report and what influence it might have on the Newark's ability to regain control of its schools. If local control were restored, city voters would get to decide if ultimate decision-making power should fall to the elected school board or to the mayor. Superintendents of school districts in Paterson and Jersey City also delivered reports to the board. Paterson Board President Christopher Irving offered an impassioned plea to state officials who attended the meeting to return local control in Paterson. "I was nine years old when the state took control of this district, and I'm 29 years old now," said Irving, who is working toward a PhD. "To tell me there are not nine highly qualified community members in Paterson to serve on this board. It's not right."

So, tomorrow morning at 9am East Coast time (which is 1400 GMT and 1500 Madrid time) we're (meaning me, meaning Emily Davis, meaning staff from Granta) going to have a "Twitter Party" to discuss the "Best of Spanish-Language Novelists" issue, Spanish literature in general, translations, literary trends, etcetera.
I'll be on there as open_letter, so feel free to
me all your questions, jokes, comments about Duke basketball. As someone who tends to write long, I've yet to really get the hang of the Twitter. So, this should be riotous! Expect a lot of ellipses and multi-tweet responses . . .
Here are the official instructions (in English and Spanish) from the wonderful Saskia Vogel at Granta. (And all apologies about the unnecessary quotes below . . . Textpattern is freaking out about all the @ symbols and transforming chunks of this post into Comic Sans.):
On November 30, 2010 at 1400 (GMT) [0900, NYC; 1500 Madrid] Granta and Three Percent Blog ('@open_letter') will host a discussion about literature in Spanish on Twitter. The discussion will end at 4pm (GMT) [1100, NYC; 1700 Madrid].
Participation is easy. Just follow these steps:
1. Sign in to your Twitter account.
2. Search for the hashtag #literatura
3. '@Grantamag' will start making posts using this hash tag. For example: "The '@Grantamag' and '@Open_Letter' #TwitterParty about Spanish-langauge lit is starting in 5 minutes! #literatura"
4. '@GrantaMag' will start the discussion with some questions and links. For example, "Will Vargas Llosa's Nobel Prize encourage publishers to commission more translations? #literatura" or "Which new Spanish-language writers should we be reading #literatura"
5. Please join in and answer any questions or ask your own. Feel free to make statements on the subject, post links, etc. The discussion can be in Spanish or English.
REMEMBER: You must include #literatura in each of your posts to be part of the conversation.
El 30 de noviembre a las 1400 (GMT) [0900, NYC; 1500 Madrid], Granta y Three Percent Blog ('@open_letter') presentará una discusión sobre la literatura en Twitter. Se acabará a las 1600 (GMT) [1100, NYC; 1700 Madrid].
Será fácil participar. Solo hay que:
1. Iniciar una sesión
2. Buscar el hashtag #literatura
3. '@GrantaMag' empezará a enviar tweets incluyendo este hashtag, por ejemplo "The '@Grantamag' and '@Open_Letter' #TwitterParty about Spanish-langauge lit is starting in 5 minutes! #literatura"
4. '@GrantaMag' iniciará la discusión con algunas preguntas y lienzos, por ejemplo, "Will Vargas Llosa's Nobel Prize encourage publishers to commission more translations? #literatura" o "Which new Spanish-language writers should we be reading #literatura"
5. Siéntate libre a participar, responder a preguntas o formular otras. Exprésa tu opinion sobre el tema, envia lienzos etc. La discusión puede ser en inglés o español.
ACUÉRDATE: es esencial incluir el hashtag #literatura en cada de tus tweets para particpar en la conversación.
So tomorrow. Twitterverse. Be there.
"The small stone plaza was floating in the midday heat. The Christ of Elqui, kneeling on the ground, his gaze thrown back on high, the part in his hair dark under the Atacaman sun—he felt himself falling into an ecstasy.. . .

FBI Recovers Stolen First Edition Book of Mormon in Herndon
The rare edition of the Book of Mormon is believed to have been stolen from an Arizona bookstore.
The FBI announced Thursday that it has recovered a rare first-edition of the Book of Mormon in Herndon.
The book, recovered on Tuesday, is believed to have been stolen from a bookstore in Mesa, Ariz. during Memorial Day weekend, according to the FBI. The FBI assisted the Mesa Police Department in finding the book through the FBI's Art Theft Program.
The book, first published in 1830, was reportedly stolen from the Rare and Out of Print Books and Art store in Mesa. Experts put its value at $40,000, although its owner, Helen Schlie, 88-year-old owner of the bookstore, said it was appraised at $100,000, according to the East Valley Tribune.
Investigators arrested Jay Michael Linford, 48, of Gilbert, Ariz. and Palmyra, N.Y., on Tuesday while he was at the apartment of an acquaintance in Herndon. He was staying there as a guest. The FBI had a search warrant for the apartment and found the stolen book.
Linford is in custody at the Fairfax County Detention Facility on a $40,000 cash bond and awaiting extradition to Arizona. He faces charges of theft and trafficking stolen property.
The Mesa Police Department, Herndon Police Department, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia all assisted in the case.
The FBI formed its Art Crime Team in 2004 through the Art Theft Program. It is a rapid deployment team that includes 14 FBI special agents that are assigned to field offices throughout the United States, including in Washington, D.C. The Art Crime Team has recovered more than 2,650 items worth more than $150 million.

This is more of Thomas Smith's conversion testimony. Jesus we trust in You! By his finding an original book of Mormon that was ordered burned, he questioned why the tenants of his LDS faith changed from the original tenants. WHY? Was this truly His Church? He now had lots of questions and began his search for His truth.
Lisa Turner

Thomas Smith was raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and can trace his lineage back seven generations. In this talk, he shares his beliefs and incredible experiences as a Mormon missionary in Alabama and how this led him to convert and become a Protestant minister and later enter the Catholic Church. Mr. Smith is a popular speaker and the author of "Inside Mormonism".

This is a great website to understand the Mormon faith more fully.

Why should you choose Polly's Payday loans?
- No credit check
- No hassle
- No fax
- Easy application
- 100% secure
- Lowest loans rates
Looking for cash advance?
Before you apply for any cash advance, find out all you can about the lender. This will save you hassles such as scam artists, paying too much, and even situations where you feel that you just can't get out from under the debt. Those are common problems with the payday loan industry that you want to be aware of beforehand.
Our cash advance process though is very different, and one that is going to provide you with a positive outcome. There is no reason to settle for any lender that can't get you the amount of money you need. We offer higher amounts than many lenders and that may be encouraging to you. Don't get into the habit of borrowing from more than one lender at a time just to get the total dollar amount you seek.
As you look at all we can offer you with such a cash advance, you will be ready to move forward with the application. It is a very good idea to read all of the details offered on our website before you apply though. This ensures you see the value of the loan and also what you are committing to. Not sure if this type of loan is right for you? Contact us and we will be happy to discuss it with you.
Instead of finding a pushy sales person, you will get someone that offers you compassion and understanding. They can help you to determine if our cash advance offer is going to work well for you. There is no obligation to ask for information and to discuss your circumstances. You will find that we offer plenty of solutions that other lenders may not be willing to consider.
Don't let your fear of your credit stop you from applying for the money you need either. There is no credit check involved with our approval process. Not only does this remove a common barrier, but it significantly speeds up the overall processing on the loan for you. That is important if you need the funds to be in your account right away.
Allow us to be the lender that gets you on the right track once again. With a cash advance from us, there is nothing to stand in your way of getting results. Instead, you will be very impressed with the entire process from start to finish. You won't believe just how simple it is to qualify for the money you need to borrow.

From: David Chart (email@example.com)
Date: Sat Aug 09 2003 - 17:49:26 EDT
My apologies for not contributing much recently. I've just finished a
couple of projects, and I'm off to the US in a couple of days. From the
27th onwards, I should have rather more free time. (I might have a bit
in the second half of next week, but I'm not sure.) So, I'll try to dive
into documentation then, getting more ready for 2.2.
Incidentally, Abi is very stable these days, at least when dealing with
its own documents. I'm getting very few bugs that do more than assert.
Kudos to all the developers.
Incidentally #2, I've got Japanese input working on my system again
after an upgrade, and there appear to be bugs in the way Abi handles it.
I assume I should sit on those bugs until 2.2 development starts? I will
probably want to use Abi to write in Japanese from the beginning of
October, when I go to Japan...
AbiWord 2.0 will rock.
