Unless you happen to be a farmer or a particularly dedicated gardener, this summer you'll face the annual decision about where to buy your produce. The supermarket seems so bland and somehow so wrong if you know there are working farms anywhere within, say, a forty-five-minute drive. Why not pick your own? Why not befriend a local farmer? Or why not make this the year you plant cardoons and salsify instead of just tomatoes and zucchini?
Chances are, of course, you will do none of these things—you'll just hope the expensive Whole Foods–style supermarket you go to actually has some local produce. Quality-minded supermarkets such as Whole Foods are indeed making more efforts every summer to offer at least some produce grown in the same state. That's not the same, though, as knowing the people who grow your food, or buying the food grown closest to you.
Convenience trumps ideals in everyday life, and sometimes the farmers' market is inconvenient. Sometimes you long for the days when phone numbers had five digits and city grocers wrote down your delivery list with soft-leaded pencils on brown paper bags. Their successors are online grocery services, which promise infinite choice along with delivery when and where you want it. But big companies burned through hundreds (and hundreds) of millions of dollars trying to get online home-delivery services up and running, and just a few survive, including Safeway, Peapod (affiliated with Stop & Shop and Giant), and mywebgrocer.com.
These services are not built around local produce. But some online companies are building their businesses around produce for people whose wants go beyond convenience. FreshDirect, for example, succeeds in delivering high-quality food of all kinds—and even some local produce—to New Yorkers. And around the country, mom-and-pop online services that deliver organic produce are surviving with pluck, hope, and a few vans. The most admirable choice of all is a CSA (for Community Supported Agriculture), which can be convenient and is certainly more directly helpful to local farmers than even the farmers market. Joining one might be this summer's resolution. And if you happen to live near one of the growing number of online produce-delivery companies, come winter you could have a new kind of Web adventure, and help a struggling businessperson too.
FreshDirect began with the same idea that many Web delivery services had: offer home delivery of groceries ordered online at reasonably competitive rates by eliminating the cost of bricks-and-mortar markets. Produce could be a good bit fresher than from a supermarket. Fruits and vegetables need not pass through a wholesaler or dawdle at some entrepôt, wilting by the day. They need not sit in supermarket bins at or near room temperature, wilting by the hour. Instead, produce could come by refrigerated truck to the company's refrigerated order center and then travel by refrigerated van to your refrigerator, sparkling with freshness. Entire days could be cut out of the trip from farm to table.
You couldn't select your own produce, of course. Not being able to see and touch the goods is part of the trade-off in ordering anything online. It's a sacrifice for anyone who squeezes peaches and scrutinizes lettuce for black leaves—an unacceptable sacrifice, many cooks say. But once children or long work hours enter the picture, even proud shoppers buckle. FreshDirect aims to ease the pain by providing more information than most markets do—one of the happier aspects of the trade-off. And it wants its delivered produce to match the pictures, which online goods often don't; all of its photographs are of sample fruits and vegetables actually on the premises.
The expenses and risks of setting up an online company that ships fresh produce are exceptionally high—so high that Webvan, the most ambitious of the start-ups that set out to do this on a national scale, lost $830 million and went bankrupt before delivering a single box on the East Coast. It had already rigged out an elaborate warehouse in Baltimore—"a ghost town," David McInerney, who oversees FreshDirect's product development, told me when I visited the company's headquarters and order center, near the Queens entrance to the Midtown Tunnel.
FreshDirect bought much of its equipment from Webvan and wrote a comparatively modest business plan—guaranteeing delivery within two hours, for instance, rather than the unrealistic half hour Webvan had promised. Order baskets travel on elevated hooks from one part of the plant to another; bags of beets whiz down wheeled conveyor platforms to a box waiting on a sort of trolley track ready to go to the deli department. The whole system—from kitchen to cheese room to butcher and fish cutter to dry-goods area—looks like a miniature ride in a food theme park, with neat cardboard boxes instead of, say, giant teacups. It is seldom shown to visitors, McInerney said, for fear of revealing a process that reportedly cost $100 million to create.
On my visit I was impressed by the breads, which are made from scratch by Craig Kominiak, an experienced baker, and baked until almost done, to be finished at home (the only way to compensate for the cold storage at every step, which destroys the texture of fresh-baked bread); the cheese selection bought from Artisanal, one of the country's best cheesemongers and the city's best; the coffees, which are roasted by Patrick Spillman, an enthusiastic and dedicated roaster, whose technique and selection I have long admired; and the workers chopping vegetables and cutting and marinating fish for entrées that looked equal to what many restaurant kitchens turn out. The real future of the company, McInerney, a trained chef with an impressive résumé, implied, is in prepared foods: the sesame-marinated skirt steak, the Tobago wild blackfin tuna kabobs, the thin-crust frozen pizzas that, he said, even the staff was buying.
Local produce is the trickiest challenge. A quarter of FreshDirect's produce sales are organic. But most of the produce comes from California—as it does to supermarkets across the country and also to the mom-and-pop organic delivery services, among them Planet Organics (planetorganics.com), which serves a large swath of California around the Bay Area; Newleaf (newleafnatural.net), which delivers to Chicago and Evanston; Greenling (austinorganicdelivery.com), which serves greater Austin and was begun by three college rugby teammates; Urban Organic (urbanorganic.net), which serves all New York City boroughs and surrounding areas in other states; and Boston Organics (bostonorganics.com). The founder of Boston Organics, Jeff Barry, a Peace Corps veteran with a master's degree in environmental economics and business, modeled it on Planet Organics and began by borrowing money from his grandfather for a delivery van and pasting up fliers in the most alternative and academic of Boston's alternative and academic neighborhoods.
All these companies aim to be a cross between a farmers' market and a standard delivery service, and most have been started by idealists on shoestring budgets. Like FreshDirect, they offer customers shorter farm-to-table time, the convenience of home delivery (Barry told me that many customers give his drivers keys to an entryway or a back door), and local produce in season. They deliver more of it, too: McInerney said that not until last year did he start contracting with local farms in the hope of giving customers something of the experience of the Union Square Greenmarket, which he and every other New York foodie visit religiously. (Tellingly, he featured Satur Farms, on the North Fork of Long Island, owned by Paulette Satur and Eberhard Müller, executive chef at Bayard's and a former chef at Le Bernardin and Lutèce, who provides recipes both to customers and to the company.) But their scale and ambition are far smaller. The model is usually to deliver a weekly box of vegetables and fruits. Customers can change the size of the box, but they have limited control over its contents—they can alter the ratio of vegetables to fruits, say, or omit something they know they won't eat.
But any year-round business must rely on large-scale growers in California and Florida during the winter and spring. The reputation of organic produce is suffering in a way that few of the longtime advocates for the adoption of national organic standards could have predicted. Aside from costs to the environment in fuel for long-haul refrigerated transport, there are costs to local economies too. The large and increasingly consolidated companies that run organic farms with national distribution seldom do any more to help local communities, let alone small farmers, than bad old industrial farming did.
It's always something when you're trying to be an "ethical gourmet," as Jay Weinstein, a chef and journalist, titles his new cookbook. "Buying organic anywhere is good," he writes, trying to summarize a simmering argument. "But buying from a source that circumvents the environmental costs of transporting, processing, and distributing the food is especially beneficial to the environment." He describes attitudes about the higher cost of organic produce: "Take it from me. I've been a personal chef to clients who represent the top 1 percent of U.S. income, and they're more concerned about the price of milk than the middle class is."
Short of growing your own food, the most ethical way to get produce is probably to join a CSA, in which members sign up in the late winter and spring for weekly boxes. (The price of a subscription varies widely but often starts at about $350.) You give up the choice and immediate gratification of going to a farmers market, and you have to trust that the farm you subscribe to grows food you like and is good at it. But CSAs, which originated in Switzerland, Germany, and Japan in the 1970s and began in earnest in this country in the mid-1980s, provide direct support and assurance to farmers in a way that farmers markets do not. Subscribers share in the risks as well as the abundance of the farm, knowing they will get a reduced selection at the beginning and end of each growing season, and agreeing to pick up their boxes, either at the farm or at a central point such as a local cooperative market. According to a 1999 study from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, relative to the average U.S. farmer CSA farmers tend to be young, financially vulnerable, highly educated, more-often female, and overwhelmingly white.
According to Elizabeth Henderson, the author of Sharing the Harvest (a definitive guide to CSAs that is about to appear in a revised edition), in the early days the challenges of supplying a decent variety of produce every week were daunting enough that some farmers gave up. But Henderson sees a "burst happening now," both in farms ready to become CSAs and in subscribers eager to join. (To find one near you, go to wilson .edu/csacenter, a resource center at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, that is named for Robyn Van En, a Massachusetts farmer who was the Jenny Appleseed of the CSA movement.) Henderson warmly described the sense of community that forms around CSAs—especially when members are trading recipes, usually online. "So much of CSAs is talking about food," she said.
Learning to cook, of course, is learning to cook what's in front of you. CSAs require improvisation—and remaining undaunted by a box of mostly beet greens, radishes, and peas. But they also offer a rich experience of seasonal flux and abundance as nothing else short of vegetable gardening does. And they can get you out of a meal-planning rut, especially if you try to sit down to dinner at home as often as possible—the route to happiness and good health, as we are constantly told. "If you buy local food in season, meals will vary without planning and effort," Nina Planck, who grew up on a Virginia farm, promises in her new Real Food. It's a lesson easily taken to heart at the height of the summer's abundance—one that might even linger as the days grow short.

Subscribe To Ellen Page Recruited For The East With Sundance Fave Brit Marling Updates
I've already subscribed
Now that Ellen Page is wrapping up her contributions to Woody Allen's latest, The Bop Decameron, she's free to start lining up future projects, and Variety reports that she might be leaning toward The East, a thriller penned by Sound of My Voice collaborators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij.
As we reported earlier, Marling would star as a woman hired by a private contracting firm to infiltrate The East, a group the trade is describing as "a mysterious anarchist organization." True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard would play the East's leader, while Page would be Izzy, his former lover who starts to grow jealous at the attention paid to new "recruit," Marling. Like Crazy star Felicity Jones originally was set to play Izzy, but her press commitments to that film prevented her from sticking with the project.
Yes, if you saw the Sundance hit Sound, you'll notice loose comparisons between the stories. And Fox Searchlight is on the hook to distribute both Sound and East, so they are in the Marling-Batmanglij business. Page is also a Searchlight darling, having starred in the studio's Oscar smash Juno, as well as Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, Whip It!
It's odd to consider 24-year-old Page the "veteran" who brings a bankable name to a project. But given her involvement in Christopher Nolan's Inception and Juno, she's certainly a marketable star and her name could lure ticket buyers. Marling, meanwhile, will appear next in Nicholas Jarecki's Arbitage opposite Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon, then completes filming on Robert Redford's The Company You Keep with Shia LaBeouf, Stanley Tucci and Nick Nolte.

Maybe the president can do something about gasoline prices after all.
After months of rapidly rising gasoline prices—despite any real justification for the dramatic increase—the pain at the pump appears to have peaked as the national average price for a gallon of gas has declined to about $3.92.
This is less than 2011's high of $3.99 and the record set in July 2008 of $4.11.
Based on anecdotal evidence from the various regions of the country, most analysts agree that we have seen the top and are on the way down as some of the most expensive markets —like Los Angeles— have already experienced drops of between 12 cents to 20 cents a gallon.
So, why the good news?
Some are pinning the lowering prices on a slowing economy in China where oil imports fell 6 percent in March, thereby creating more supply for the rest of us. Others are suggesting that easing of political tensions with Iran may be the reason—despite the fact that the Iranian threat had already been largely mooted once Saudi Arabia promised that it would take up any slack in oil deliveries caused by an Iranian eruption. Then there is the factor of the refineries that have been down for maintenance (as they typically are this time of year) coming back on line at a time where there is lots of oil supply around for the refineries to refine.
While all of these items would certainly play into the decline in prices, there is another factor that is getting very little play.
The oil speculators that falsely drove up the price of oil over the past few months —by as much as $20 a barrel—may have gotten the message that the Administration wasn't going to sit idly by and let them mess up our recovery just so they could make more money.
Last month, I wrote a two part series attempting to explain what was happening with gasoline prices and who might be to blame for the precipitous rise. In Part II of the series, I noted the profound impact the money managers were having on our pocketbooks through their speculative behavior—behavior that had resulted in non-industry traders buying the equivalent of 372 million barrels of oil through a variety of futures contracts. In making the point that these folks were the true villains behind the unnecessary rise in gasoline prices, I noted what Bloomberg had to say on the topic –
Talk to oil analysts these days and chances are they'll tell you that more than half the spike in the oil price is due to speculators—specifically noncommercial users. That's jargon for investors who are buying up futures contracts not because they intend to use the oil, but because they think it's a good investment. These aren't airlines or refining companies; these are money managers betting that the price will go up. And so far they've been right, thanks to themselves.
Not long after, we got word that talks were under way between the leaders of the United States, Great Britain and France for the purpose of considering a joint move to release some of each nation's strategic oil reserves onto the market. A debate quickly ensued over whether this was an appropriate use of such reserves with the President's critics suggesting that releasing oil reserves to lower prices was inappropriate as the reserves are for times of national crisis.
Appearing that week on the "Forbes on Fox" program, I suggested that the announcement was likely a bluff by the three nations to send a message to the oil speculators that these governments could cause the speculators to drop a lot of money should government flood the market with extra supplies of oil. I also said that there would be no release of any of our strategic oil reserves.
Shortly, thereafter, the price of oil began to come down and, to date, there has been no flow of oil from our strategic reserves.
After months of beating on the President for the high price of gasoline—despite the fact that he had absolutely nothing to do with the rises—should we now consider that a clever bluff has played a major part in reversing the trend and saving us all big money at the gas pump?
I think so.

Of course, this kind of things may happen only in movies: boxers who win when the chances are low; superspies who can easily dodge the bullet; archeologists-pranksters… There are no such people in real life, are there? Sure there are!
John McClane Die hard 1 – 4.0 (1988-2007)
Grizzled retired cop who has a rare talent of getting to the wrong place in a right time full of shadowy characters.
In real life: Ken Hammond
While Ken Hammond, a policeman from the state of Utah was walking down the street with his pregnant wife on the St. Valentine's Day, some armed psycho started shooting at the customers of the department store in Salt Lake City. Hammond told his wife to hide in a safe place, then took his gun and helped to shoot down the killer.
"I had my gun with me and I thought that I had to do something. No matter where I am: in my own town or not, if I can protect as many people as possible and prevent new murders I must do it, – said Hammond who, to be honest, has not much in common with the main character of the movie, – I had to stop the violence"
Captain Jack Sparrow The Pirates of the Caribbean (2003 – 2007)
Crazy, eccentric pirate with odd taste in clothes but with flawless taste in women.
In real life: John Rackham (Calico Jack)
Rackham a sea-robber of XVIII century who used to wear calico suit could boast a wardrobe and a list of love affairs that could make even the Jack Sparrow jealous. He pitched a woo with woman pirate Anne Bonny, who used to wear man clothes so she could swim with him on his ship. Unfortunately, unlike his fictional offspring Rackham didn't come back from the dead: British authorities caught him and hung in Port Royal. His body was put in the cage and left to rot on the Deadman's Reef. That was harsh.
Doc Emmet Brown Back to the Future 1-3 (1985 – 1990)
Scientist with the eyes of a madman, obsessed with idea of time travel.
In real life: Ronald Mallett
Mallett, professor of the Kentucky University, lost his father when he was a kid, in 50s of the XX century. Ever since, inspired by the novel of Herbert Wells "The Time Machine" he's been struggling to bring to life the idea of time travel. "I thought that if I could create the time machine, I would come back to the past, meet my father, warn him about the future and safe his life…" So far Mallett only came up with idea of rotating laser which warps the space. We still keep dreaming about operative device in form of modernized "DeLorean".
Clarice Starling The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Hannibal (2001)
Brave FBI agent who can get over the bad guys.
In real life: Candice DeLong
Starling may envy DeLong with her 20 years career of federal service. As an operative agent and criminal psychologist she was tracing terrorists, catching serial killers and even helped to seize Theodore Kaczynski (terrorist also known as Unabomber) "Most agents have a certain goal: to catch an A class fugitive, to arrest some dangerous terrorist or to save a child from the kidnapper. I made it all" – said DeLong after she retired.
Rocky Balboa Rocky 1-6 (1976 – 2006)
Unemployed boxer from cheap side who suddenly gets the chance to fight with the champion
In real life: Chuck Wepner
"All my life I've been trying to survive. If I overcame the service in Marine Corps, I think I'll be able to outlive the fight with Ali". Wepner, the boxer from New Jersey, at the end of his career got an incredible opportunity to fight for the champion title with Muhammad Ali. Nobody believed in him. But even being hardly beaten Wepner held on during 15 rounds. After that the victory was given to Ali for the technical knockout. Wepner even managed to knock Ali down in the 9th round. "Hey, I knocked him down!" – said the boxer to his coach Bufano during the break. "Well done, – he replied. – but he looks really pissed off now".
Indiana Jones Indiana Jones 1-4 (1981 – 2008)
American archeologist who is afraid of snakes and able to rob the lost artifacts from Nazis.
In real life: Hiram Bingham III
Bingham was as extravagant as the real archeologist can possibly be. He combined his extraordinary intelligence (he graduated from Harvard, Yale and Berkeley) with the passion for action (he was a pilot during the World War II). In 1911 Bingham was exploring the Andes in search of the lost Inca city Machu Picchu and even wrote a best-seller. "Suddenly I saw the walls of the ruined houses. As the centuries went by, they became partly covered with trees and moss, but in shadow, between the thickets of bamboo and vines appeared the walls of white granite"
Quint Jaws (1975)
Do you want to catch a big shark crashed out? You need Quint then…
In real life: Frank Mundus
Forget about fisher's trawler: if you wanna catch a giant man-eating fish, call Frank. He's been a professional shark hunter since 1951 and once caught a 1350 kilo white shark only 20 meters away from the Amagansett beaches in the state of New York. "The same summer I caught another big fish there, but authorities told me to shut up course they didn't want to frighten away the tourists" – just like in movie.
Charles Foster Kane Citizen Kane (1941)
Media megalomaniac tycoon passionate for young girls, big houses and kinder sledges.
In real life: William Randolph Hearst
"News – is something that someone doesn't want to be published; all the rest is advertising".
Kane's image was taken from newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst. The movie shows all the aspects of his life: from failed career of a politician to his underage wife, tells about his socialist views and his spacious palace in Hollywood hills. Please note that it wasn't said a word about his memories of lost toys before his death in 1951…
Danny Ocean Ocean's Eleven (1960), Ocean's Eleven (2001), Ocean's Twelve (2004), Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
The king of thieves.
In real life: Victor Lustig
Do you think that stealing a fortune from the Las Vegas casino vault is a big deal? Then try to sell the Eiffel Tower to a scrap metal buyer. That was not the only thing that Victor Lustig managed to get away with. He had 45 false names, could perfectly well speak 5 foreign languages and was arrested 50 times only in the USA. Born in Bohemia he, without a doubt, was the greatest scab ever. Lustig even gained $5000 from the mafia legend Al Capone. Considering all that, natty episodes with the character of Andy Garcia look a wee bit childish.
James Bond Movies about James Bond (1962 – 2006)
Brilliant superspy who has a license to kill
In real life: Sidney Reilly
At the beginning of XX century in the field of espionage nobody could be compared with Sidney Reilly, originally Russian who simultaneously worked for 4 countries (including United Kingdom). He performed incredible tasks changing his appearance (once he penetrated on the millionaire's yacht dressed like priest) and didn't feel the lack of murders, money and women. Reilly with joy went on a journey to Moscow in 1918 to kill Lenin and with the same enthusiasm seduced Russian Minister's wife to get information about the weapon supply to Germany. Unfortunately Reilly was another object lesson of a quote "we don't live twice": Russians caught him and executed in 1925.
Lt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell Top Gun (1986)
The best shooter of American Naval Forces. 100% free agent
In real life: Randy "Duke" Cunningham
Cunningham ("Duke") and his navigator Driscoll («Irish») where the only aces during the war in Vietnam. Cunningham nearly lost his chance: he was almost expelled from the Navy infantry Academy. After the war in Vietnam he became a flying instructor in the aviation school and later on started career of a politician. At the moment Cunningham serves 10 years in prison for the participation in multi-million scandal related with pension payments.
Thelma and Louise Thelma and Louise (1991)
Good girls run from the law steering the woman-haters onto the right path
In real life: Rose Marie Turford and Joyce Carolyn Stevens
In 1994 Turford and Stevens changed their boring provincial lifestyle for criminal entertainments and started having fun all along the USA and Canada. They allured about 10 men to the motel where tied them under the pretext of S&M games. After that they robbed their victims and left the crime scene. When Turford and Stevens were arrested they were released on bail and went on the run. Canadian cavalry and FBI had to make a considerable afford to catch them in Toronto…One of their naive neighbors said: "Joyce would never do something like that, she is so timid!"
Michael Corleone The Godfather 1-3 (1972 -1990)
Sophisticated but pitiless head of Italian mafia in New York
In real life: John Gotti
Gotti didn't inherit the position of the head of a criminal clan Gambino: he got it by eliminating his antecessor. With the same cruelty and aggression as Corleone of Coppola, he pushed his family to the top of New York mafia. Gotti who got his nickname "Dapper Don" for his fancy for expensive suites was a violent leader. When in 1992 he was caught by FBI, the incrimination included 13 murders, crime confederation, usury, racket and resistance to the law enforcements.
Andy Dufresne The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Peaceful genius who picked, broke through and bellied his way out of prison.
In real life: David McMillan
Tree years of his 17-year prison sentence in famous prison "Bangkok Hilton" were more than enough for a drug dealer David McMillan. By the year 1996 he finished sawing the bars in his cell with handsaws hidden in posters. McMillan got over four walls and crossed the run-off ditch of 2,5 meters width. Then he covered himself with umbrella and passed over the moat at the front of guards. ("I thought that escapees do not carry umbrellas"). McMillan bought a new passport from locals and abandoned the country. Thai authorities have never bothered him again.
Lara Croft Lara Croft: Tomb Rider (2001) Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life (2003)
Feminine adventurer full of crazy energy.
In real life: Sue Hendrickson
Hendrickson was an amateur hunter for the fossils, sea archeologist and explorer. She discovered fossil whales in desserts of Peru, found 23 million years old butterflies within ember, dived for pearls in Caribbean, revealed Egyptian treasure near Alexandria, got the Chinese porcelain out of 400 years old Spanish galleon and in 1990 discovered the biggest skeleton of tyrannosaur by that time. "I'm just doing everything that any child would dream of: digging out dinosaur skeletons, search drowned ships on the sea bottom" – she says. But nevertheless Hendrickson apparently doesn't wear skin-tight costumes.

Bruce Arbit, the outgoing chief of the Campaign Chair of the United Israel Appeal (UIA) this week said that The Jewish Agency will remain his home long after he steps down from his role.
Arbit made the statement at an Agency-hosted luncheon on Tuesday, held in his and Leah Golan's honor. Golan directed many areas of the organization in her twenty-year career with the Agency, most recently in the role of Deputy Director for Programs.
Arbit, who was succeeded in the post by Richard N. Bernstein, will continue to serves the Jewish community in many roles, including as a member of the Board of Governors.
"Until they throw me out of here, this is where I will be—because this is my home," Arbit said, and regaled the attendees of his long journey with the Agency from the close relationship with the shaliach in Milwaukee, WI, to the kibbutzim he stayed at in Israel, to his Aliyah.
Arbit assured the Board that his successor, Bernstein, "is the best of the best."
Golan was also honored at the luncheon as she decided to embark on a new career path after serving The Jewish Agency for over 20 years. Leah began her professional relationship with the Agency as a shaliach in Leeds, which profoundly affected what she contributed to the Agency's 2011 restructuring.
"I cannot imagine my life without the exposure I had to the international Jewish world," she noted.
Thanking her coworkers and Agency officials, Golan said she "enjoyed a lifetime of professional and personal achievements" together with them. Of the organization itself, she uttered her oft-repeated aphorism: "The Jewish Agency is as relevant today as when it was created; if didn't exist today someone would have to create it."
Chairman of the Executive of the Board, Natan Sharansky paid tribute to both Arbit and Golan.
Sharansky called Golan a "queen" who brought her "commitment to idea of one Jewish people connected to the state of Israel" to the Israel Department and The Agency as a whole.
Former Board member, Eitan Wertheimer, cited social activism project after project that Golan helped develop, and concluded by saying, "At the end of the day, the one who will thank you the most, Leah, is Israel."

DURHAM, N.H. – UMBC junior Hannah Schmidt (Catonsville, Md./Mount de Sales) sent down a match-best 16 kills and picked up 11 digs for her ninth double-double of the season as UMBC swept Albany in three sets (25-19, 25-16, 25-16), Friday night in the America East semifinals at New Hampshire's Lundholm Gymnasium.
With the win, UMBC (19-11) advances to its first conference tournament final since 2010 where the Retrievers will take on regular season champion and tournament No. 1 seed UNH who defeated No. 4 seed Stony Brook in the second semifinal of the night.
"We had a good game plan and I think we executed it really well," ninth-year head coach Ian Blanchard said. "I'm really proud of the girls' efforts as they maintained their intensity through the match and I think they did a really good job of playing through the ebbs and flows."
Schmidt was the beneficiary of the setting from two-time America East Setter of the Year Mallory McIntyre (Winnipeg, Manitoba/St. Mary's Academy) who handed out 33 helpers in the three sets. McIntyre also scooped up 12 digs for her tenth double-double of her senior campaign.
The Retriever backline was instrumental in holding Albany (9-19) to .110 hitting as freshman libero Casey Griffith (King of Prussia, Pa./Upper Merion) recorded 16 digs and senior Hallie Carter (Huntington Beach, Calif./Edison) added ten digs.
UMBC outhit the Great Danes from the start, finishing with a .228 hitting efficiency and registering 47 kills to Albany's 31. Freshman Amy Hunter paced the Albany attack with 16 winners in the match while All-Conference First Team selection Samantha Brostrom (Ellicott City, Md.) was limited to just two put-aways.
Albany took the early advantage in the match, claiming a 7-4 lead in the first set following a kill by Mikala McCauley. UMBC got right back into it and ran off four straight points, the last on a winner by senior All-Conference honoree Emily Witsaman (Medina, Ohio/Medina), to retake the lead, 8-7. The teams were evenly matched for the next rotation until the Retrievers went on a decisive 5-0 lead to claim a 17-12 advantage, and never looked back. Senior Ali Goc (Oshawa, Ontario/R.S. McLaughlin) recorded the final two kills of the run and then Schmidt and Witsaman recorded multiple winners down the stretch as UMBC won the opening frame, 25-19.
In the second set, UMBC won the opening two points, and never allowed Albany to catch up en route to a 25-16 set win. The Black and Gold opened up a set-high eight-point lead, 19-11, following a 5-0 run punctuated by a kill from Goc who finished the match with eight winners. Schmidt recorded five put-aways in the frame while sophomore Sherelle Walker (New Freedom, Pa./Susquehannock) sent down three in the set and six for the evening.
The final set was more of the same as the Retrievers dropped the first point, but never trailed again after winning the next four. UMBC steadily added on to its lead, building it to eight on multiple occasions before ending the match with a Goc service ace for a 25-16 set win.
Dawg Bites
- UMBC defeated Albany three times this season after claiming on three wins over the Great Danes in 25 previous matches.
- The Retrievers have now won four straight versus Albany after breaking a 13-match winning streak for the Great Danes in 2012.
- The win is UMBC's first in conference tournament play since 2010.
- UMBC was previously 0-4 versus Albany in tournament matches.

An unscrupulous rogue, coming across the frozen party several centuries later, decides to haul off two of the statues to decorate his den. Upon his death, an artisan friend of his claims a statue and sells it to a rich merchant, passing it off as his own work. Years later, the merchant gilds the statue in bronze and re-sells it at a much higher price. After passing through the art markets for many decades, the statue ends up in the hallways of a mage academy. Imagine the chaos and confusion when a young mage's spell happens to break the curse of stone, returning the adventurer to life several centuries after his petrification!

We have some nervous action Monday morning, but speculative money is staying busy with the likes of Netflix (NFLX), Amazon (AMZN) and Facebook (FB). Breadth is running at 1,850 gainers to 3,200 decliners, but I am seeing pockets of positive action. Precious metals are the primarily laggard, and there isn't any notable sector leadership.
One group that's doing well is mortgage-servicing. Nationstar Mortgage (NSM) has purchased a large portfolio, and that is goosing its estimates and bringing in some chaser action; osther companies, such as Walter Investment (WAC) and Newcastle Investment (NCT), are benefiting as well. I'm nibbling a little at Newcastle, which is a real estate investment trust that handles some of Nationstar's accounts and has a 9.8% dividend yield. The company plans to spin off its residential assets, and that is helping to drive the action.
Uni-Pixel (UNXL), which I discussed Friday, is my stock of the week and is moving very strongly again. This is a classic momentum situation, and the hot money is all over that one right now. I'm keeping an eye on Aruba Networks (ARUN) for a break above $22, but it's moving slowly. Old favorite Nanosphere (NSPH) is perking up, and I continue to hold that stock.
Overall, while the major indices look weak this session, most stocks on my screen are holding up fairly well. I'm not rushing to sell unless they commit a technical breach. This isn't unhealthy action in the bigger scheme, but it may require some patience as we wait for it to play out. I'm going to keep looking for new buys, but I'm in no hurry.

DeVincentis to tell the seriocomic story of a kind-hearted Florida stripper who becomes a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas, but finds her luck running out after befriending a professional sports gambler with a jealous wife. Convinced that there's more to life than peeling off skimpy outfits for leering bar patrons, exotic dancer Beth Raymer (Rebecca Hall) opts to try her luck as a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas, and quickly makes the acquaintance of Dink (Bruce Willis) - a man with a knack for making quick cash on winning sports teams. When Dink hires Beth to place wagers at multiple casinos, they quickly discover she's got a knack for numbers, and form a lucrative partnership. But all good things must come to an end, and when Dink's jealous wife Tulip (Catherine Zeta-Jones) catches wind of the relationship she insists that her husband fire his new good luck charm immediately. Dejected, Beth takes flight to New York, where her winning streak comes to a sudden end after she goes to work for a shady bookie.

Topic Page: Guadeloupe
(gwädӘlōp'), overseas department and administrative region of France (2015 est. pop. 450,000), 687 sq mi (1,779 sq km), in the Leeward Islands, West Indies. The department comprises the neighboring islands of Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre (Guadeloupe proper) as well as Marie-Galante and Îles des Saintes to the south and La Désirade to the east. Saint-Barthélemy ("Saint Barts") and the French portion of Saint Martin were part of Guadeloupe politically until 2007. Basse-Terre, on the island of the same name, is Guadeloupe's capital; Pointe-à-Pitre, on Grande-Terre, is the chief port and commercial center. The islands have a mild, humid climate and are subject to hurricanes.
Tourism is the major industry, and the majority of people are employed in the service sector. Agriculture and sugar and rum production are also important. Basse-Terre, volcanic in origin (see Soufrière) and extremely rugged, is settled along the coasts and produces bananas, other tropical fruits and vegetables, coffee, cacao, and vanilla beans. Grande-Terre has low limestone cliffs and little rainfall; sugar and rum are its chief products. There also is subsistence farming, livestock raising, and fishing. Additionally, France provides many subsidies and necessities to Guadeloupe.
The population is mainly of African or mixed descent and largely Roman Catholic. French and a Creole patois are spoken. The head of government is a commissioner appointed by France. The legislature consists of a 36-member, popularly elected general council and a regional council.
Sighted by Christopher Columbus in 1493, Guadeloupe was only feebly colonized by the Spanish and was finally abandoned in 1604. In 1635 settlement was begun by the French, who eliminated the native Caribs and imported slaves from Africa for plantation work. By the end of the 17th cent., Guadeloupe was a leading world sugar producer and one of France's most valuable colonies. The islands were hotly contested with the English until they were confirmed as French possessions in 1815. During World War II, Guadeloupe at first adhered to the Vichy regime in France, but an accord with the United States in 1942 led to its support of the Free French. In 1946 the colony of Guadeloupe became an overseas department of France, and in 1974 it became an administrative center. Its deputies sit in the French National Assembly in Paris.

Municipal flag of Veurne - Image by Filip van Laenen, 18 November 2001
See also:
The municipality of Veurne (in French, Furnes; 11,832 inhabitants on 1 January 2007; 9,634 ha) is located in the Westhoek, 10 km from the North Sea and on the border with France. The municipality of Veurne is made since 1976 of the former municipalities of Veurne (8,523 inh.; 2,267 ha; including Avekapelle [377 inh.; 458 ha], Booitshoeke [96 inh.; 335 ha], Bulskamp [677 inh.; 803 ha], Eggewaartskapelle [181 inh.; 490 ha], Steenkerke [427 inh.; 1,179 ha] and Zoutenaaie [17 inh.; 207 ha] since 1971), Houtem (671 inh.; 1,271 ha; including De Moeren - in French, Les Moëres; 129 inh.; 1,158 ha - since 1971), Vinkem (358 inh.; 527 ha) and Wulveringem (345 inh.; 937 ha). Vinkem and Wulveringem formed the short-lived municipality of Beauvoord from 1971 to 1976. Veurne is the only significant town in the municipalitys, the other components being small polder villages. Houtem and De Moeren are located on the border with France.
Veurne was mentioned for the first time, as Furnae, in 877, on the list of the possessions of the St. Bertinus abbey in Saint-Omer. The name of the town most probably comes from the small island dominating the marshes, on which a fortress was built against the Northmen and became one of the best defended places in Flanders. Granted municipal rights in the XIIth century, Veurne was member of the London Hansa, a group of Flemish towns that traded with London. After the break of the relations between Flanders and England in 1270, Veurne entered a crisis that lasted until the end of the XVIth century and yielded to its inhabitants the nickname of Veurnse Slapers (The Veurne Sleepers).
In 1586, the two administrative divisions of Veurne, the town and the "Ambacht" (a domain with a Higher Court, encompassing 42 parishes), were united. The town resumed its growth during the peaceful rule of Archdukes Albert and Isabel (1598-1621); most of the historic buildings still visible in Veurne date from that period (Flemish Renaissance style). The baroque belfrey, built in 1628, is registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List, together with other belfreys in Belgium and northern France. In 1604, Wenzel Cobergher, Albert and Isabel's main architect, organized the draining of the marshy area of De Moeren / Les Moëres and its transformation into a fertile polder (located today for 1/3 in Belgium and 2/3 in France). In 1637, Jacob Clou, a Norbertine monk from the St. Nicholas abbey in Veurne; organized the first Penitents' Procession. Louis XIV's wars and the War of the Spanish Succession ended the blossoming period of Veurne.
In 1830, Veurne was the first Belgian town to welcome the new king
Léopold I. After the German invasion of Belgium in 1914, Karel Cogge,
controller of the northern waterways in Veurne, advized the seaman
Hendrik Gheeraert to flood the region of Yser, thus blocking the
advance of the Germans and allowing the Belgians to withdraw behind the
Nieuwpoort-Diksmuide railway line for the next for years. King of the
Belgians Albert I set his headquarters in the town hall of Veurne,
where he met the French President and the King of England; in January
1915, the headquarters were moved to the presbytery of Houtem and
stayed there until the last attack in 1918. On 16 August 1917, the
Royal family moved from De Panne to the Sint-Flora manor in De Moeren.
Between the two World Wars, peace resumed in Veurne, an atmosphere described by Georges Simenon in his novel Le bourgmestre de Furnes (1939). The book describes the rise and fall of Jos Terlinck, the son of a poor shrimp fisher from Koksijde (Coxyde in the book), who became a wealthy cigare manufacturer and eventually expelled the brewer Van Hamme from the Mayor's office. In Chapter I, Simenon writes:
[...] les cigares "Vlaamsche Vlag", que Terlinck fabriquait. Vlaamsche Vlag ! Drapeau flamand !
("[...] the "Vlaamsche Vlag" cigares, manufactured by Terlinck. Vlaamsche Vlag! Flemish flag!")
Terlinck's cigares are back in Chapter VI, under a slightly different name:
Sur les pignons des maisons basses, on avait peint en jaune et rouge "Cigares Vlag Van Vlanderen". Ses cigares ! Avec le drapeau flamand et le gros homme béat qui fumait en esquissant un clin d'œl !
("On the gables of the low-roofed houses was painted in yellow and red "Cigares Vlag Van Vlanderen". His cigares! With the Flemish flag and the fat man smoking while half-making a wink.")
The town of Veurne was granted the French Cross of War with Palms by President René Poincaré in 1920. In May 1940, Veurne was heorically defended by the Brits during their withdrawal to Duinkerk, following the capitulation of Belgium. For strategic reasons, several polders surrounding the town were flooded, especially at the end of the war; the inflow of salty water was a disaster for the rich land of De Moeren.
The pianist Frans Brouw was born in Veurne in 1929. Winner of the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Contest in 1952, he was awarded the title of Honour Citizen of Veurne. The same honour was awarded to King Albert I; to the painter Paul Delvaux, who lived in Veurne from 1971 to his death in 1994; to the industrial Walter Plaetink (b. 1931), founder of the Bakery Museum in Veurne; to the singer Will Tura, born in Veurne as Arthur Blanckaert in 1940; and to the singer and (ice) sculptor Willem Vermandere (b. 1940), who settled in Steenkerke in 1974.

The municipal flag of Veurne is vertically divided black-yellow-green.
According to Gemeentewapens in België - Vlaanderen en Brussel, the flag was adopted by the Municipal Council on 27 October 1986, confirmed by the Executive of Flanders on 10 December 1986 and published in the Belgian official gazette on 3 December 1987.
The flag, already used by the municipality of Veurne before the municipal reform of 1976, shows the colours of the municipal arms, black and yellow (lion) and green (clover leaf).
The municipal arms of Veurne are shown on the municipal website and described as In goud een omgewende leeuw van sabel met op de borst een klaverblad van sinopel. Het schild getopt met een markiezenkroon en getooid met het Frans Oorlogskruis met palm ("Or a lion rampant sable charged with a trefoil vert. The shield surmonted by a marquis' crown, the French War Cross with Palm appended to it").

Michael Malone broke a National Basketball Association rule last week when he said this about current Los Angeles Clippers guard, Chris Paul:
"Obviously, Chris would look pretty good in a Sacramento Kings uniform, you know, without a doubt," Malone said.
The comment violates a rule that prohibits coaches from attempting to poach or woo players from other teams while those players are still under contract.
Malone made the comments about Paul in an informal question and answer session with reporters following a press conference that had also featured new Kings majority owner Vivek Ranadive. Malone was an assistant coach in New Orleans when Paul played there.
Malone also talked about former Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis, saying he, "loves him" and "thinks the world of him" but neither statement went far enough to warrant any discipline from the league.
The team issued a statement in response to the fine, "The Kings organization accepts the league's decision and regrets any infraction of the policy."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – On a rainy Saturday afternoon, MIT women's tennis won their tenth straight match, beating Simmons College 7-2 at JB Carr Tennis Bubble. MIT is ranked #27 in the country and #9 in the Northeast region, while Simmons is ranked #20 in the Northeast region. It was also Senior Day for MIT and Melissa Diskin, Jenny Dohlman, Jen Rees, and Sonya Makhni were honored during match introductions.
The match stayed close during the doubles competition, although Lauren Quisenberry and Candace Wu won easily at first by an 8-3 score. Simmons grabbed a point back when Margaret Teague and Allison Bodek won 9-8 over Julia Hsu and Diskin at second. Jen Rees and Jenny Dohlman were pushed to the edge at third doubles, but emerged with a 9-8 victory of their own.
The top singles matches were all MIT, as Wu and Hsu each posted straight set shutouts at second and third, respectively. Quisenberry also had no difficulty, beating Teague 6-2, 6-2 while Melissa Diskin pulled out a three set comeback win at fourth, outlasting Maile Macleod 3-6, 6-1, 7-5. Jen Rees won in straight sets at sixth, but Allison Bodek beat Jenny Dohlman 6-0, 6-1 to prevent MIT from sweeping the singles play.
MIT improves to 15-4 overall and will play their final match of the spring next Saturday at Trinity College at 12:00 PM. Simmons falls to 15-5 in their final regular season match of the spring campaign.

Grains closed sharply higher with corn leading the way. December corn closed up 14 cents at $7.55 ¾, December wheat up 7 ¾ cents at $8.64 ½, and January soybeans up 12 ¼ cents at $15.48 ¾.
It was the last day of the month and last day to set crop insurance prices. The harvest prices are locked in at $7.51 for December corn and $15.40 for November soybeans. Obviously these were well above the spring prices and should help those with production below their guaranteed levels.
Strength was found amid supply concerns of quality-world-wheat and lack of corn offers in South American. Egypt's GASC had a mid-morning announcement of the purchase of 300,000 MTs between France, Romania, and Russia. Corn also found a technical bounce after holding its 100-day moving average. Next resistance is seen at the 50 day which is $7.64 ½. If that level is breached on a seasonal post-harvest rally look for the next target at the 50% retracement level of $7.77.
December Corn Chart:
The USDA reopened after its two day closure from Super Storm Sandy. Their Weekly Crop Progress report shows corn at 91% harvested and soybeans at 87%. Wheat's crop condition was less than expected at 40% good-to-excellent and may provide some additional support on the overnight markets.
The funds have begun their rolls with Rogers starting yesterday, Deutsche Bank on Friday, and Goldman will start next week. FC Stone will have their production estimates tomorrow and Informa will release theirs on Friday.

Accenture has identified four key Stories to Watch at the show that demonstrate the importance of leveraging digital technologies and data and analytics to address today's issues and seize tomorrow's possibilities.
Story One:
Market Realities
Growth has slowed across the Aerospace & Defense industry. Aircraft orders are down, costs have escalated, delivery delays have increased and geopolitical factors are creating uncertainty. Industry executives will be voicing these concerns—and discussing how to control costs in anticipation of new models and increased production estimates over the coming years.
Story Two:
Going for Growth
Despite challenging market realities, growth opportunities will still fuel much of the news from the Paris Air Show. Attention will be on the Asia/Pacific region which is expected to significantly outpace the industry. Among other industry bright spots is Aftermarket Services, including maintenance repair and overhaul, which has grown in order to prolong aircrafts' commercial life.
Story Three:
Digital Dominates
Digital transformation continues to be an important industry story. In fact, Accenture research reveals that 98 percent of aerospace companies are already investing in digital as part of their business strategies. At the Paris Air Show the story will be about digital's growing importance throughout the industry as manufacturers embrace its possibilities across the value chain to reduce costs, increase efficiency, improve performance and differentiate products.
Story Four:
Analytics All Around
The industry is increasingly applying analytics to make sense of the growing abundance of data. How companies are using these insights will transform the way they operate, interact and integrate. We will learn how companies are using data as the basis for new business models and leveraging its benefits to help them differentiate themselves through operational capabilities.
Accenture Commercial Aerospace Insight Report
The commercial aerospace market faces continued headwinds that are tempering the gains made over the past few years. Continued 2016 softness in new orders may mean those operators who do come to the table enjoy more of a buyers' market. As of the end of September, both Airbus and Boeing are at less than half of their 2015 full-year net orders. Flat production capacity, coupled with the continued ramp up in production, will put pressure on costs and drive additional investments in efficiency, production automation, cost visibility and supplier development.
Accelerating Through Digital Turbulence
Accenture Technology Vision 2017 for Aerospace and Defense companies
The aerospace and defense industry is now well into a new era of powerful market forces and disruptive technologies. These present entirely new mandates for building, operating and maintaining commercial, military, and space products. Some of these market forces offer exciting opportunities. Others present clear threats and challenges. All require a decisive response.
We invite you to meet with Accenture and access our Digital and Technology Showcase at the Accenture VIP Chalet on Tuesday June 20 and Wednesday June 21 from 9:00 to 18:00.
To ensure the availability of the relevant Accenture aerospace and defense industry experts, advance appointments are required.

1991 Alfa Romeo Spider
A lot happens in thirty years. Vibrant, tie-dyed youth in paisley patterned Volkswagens turn into graying commuters stuck in sterile white Camrys. Fuel crises come and go. Time slowly reduces the automobile, once a potent symbol of sex and freedom, to a bland and inoffensive mass of soft plastic, crumple zones, and gray velour: an air bag-lined capsule of toiling isolation. Engine sizes shrink and subsequently grow again. Hairlines recede (but, unfortunately, don't grow back with the cubic inch revival). The presidencies of Lyndon Baines Johnson and Bill Clinton sandwich the administrations of a liar, a peanut farmer, a handsome actor, and more. The Soviet Union collapses. Enzo Ferrari dies.
In less than three decades, between 1966 and 1994, the world changed in unforgettable ways. The automotive landscape reflected these changes; it bore the scars of crippled performance and compromised style, and the fruits of enhanced efficiency and increased safety.
Cars changed radically in those years. Most notably, the idea of automotive fun was all but eradicated. The EPA and Ralph Nader created a fun-sucking black hole that manufacturers struggled to claw out of for years, with almost no success until the Mazda Miata of 1989 revitalized a dying species and added a sultry tint of red to the cold, gray monochrome into which it was born.
But when the Miata, that great savior of the sports car, arrived to carry on the torch first lit by traditional, ash-framed Brits after the Second World War, it had to pry that beacon of light from the ageing fingers of a car that refused to die: the Alfa Romeo Spider.
Alfa's Spider was a survivor. Introduced in 1966 to a world rife with sports car choices, the Spider was always a bit of a misfit. With less performance than a Porsche, more sophistication than an MG, and a price tag in-between the costs of those marques' machines, the Alfa seemed to occupy a logical position within the sports car hierarchy.
Real sports cars didn't follow rules, though, and they didn't always play nice. The Spider would not allow itself to be pigeonholed into some anonymous niche between carmakers with whom Alfa had battled for years on racetracks and on dealer lots.
The Alfa Spider set itself apart from competitors with engineering precision unmatched by other cars of similar size and price. It was stylish, too, but the lines were ahead of their time. When it was new, the Spider managed to receive the nickname Osso di Seppia in its home country of Italy. English translation: cuttlefish.
The Spider's initial design was the last work overseen by Pininfarina founder Batista 'Pinin' Farina, and it was a well proportioned shape with a tapering tail to balance its long, sloping nose with covered headlights. How this shape struck period journalists as fishy is difficult to understand, as automotive historians and journalists now regard it as pure and delicate, the finest of the Spider series. John Lamm, writing for Motor Trend decades ago, remarked that the 'Spider looked like it had been squeezed from a tube of Crest.' The design has reached high regard, though, and the premium prices enjoyed by early Spiders confirm the shape's ultimate success.
Maybe contemporary journalists were just trying to nitpick—there were, after all, no other detractors from the car's inherent goodness about which one could complain. This may sound like an exaggeration. It isn't. The original Alfa Romeo Spider did everything well, and reviews from the car's inception confirm this.
Handling was brilliant. The race-proven suspension setup used coil springs and telescoping shock absorbers at all corners, with unequal length A-arms at the front and a carefully located rear axle. The Spider had neither rack and pinion steering nor independent rear suspension, but it proved that excellent handling could be had without them. The four wheel disc brakes gave the Spider sensationally short stopping distances. The car's interior was comfortable, its top easy to operate, its build quality decent, and its reliability proven (at least when treated to appropriate maintenance work by a knowledgeable mechanic). And things only got better when someone opened the hood.
Featuring the venerated Alfa twin cam four, the Spider's engine bay sparkled with Italian charisma. Beautifully cast aluminum marked the distinguished motor as a work of art, a decadent sculpture given for the gods motion. From top to bottom, the engine was a triumph of form and purpose. An aluminum valve cover crowned the head, with a shape indicative of the twin, chain-driven camshafts beneath it. Those camshafts actuated valves within hemispherical combustion chambers, with a spark plug optimally situated between the valves at each hemisphere's northernmost point. Digging deeper into the engine, the aluminum block came into view. It used cast iron wet liners to ensure durability and longevity even with enthusiastic use. Finally, at the very bottom of the engine bay excavation, was the oil sump, also in aluminum. The oversized sump was responsible for the engine's 7-quart oil capacity. Its distinctive, hammerhead shape resulted from a need to clear a cross member running directly beneath the motor, and its fins and baffles kept the oil happy while the car encountered high engine speeds and cornering loads.
That engine mated to a 5-speed transmission that automotive writers widely accepted as one of the very finest gearboxes in terms of feel and ease of use. The excellent transmission routed power to the rear axle, where Alfa used more aluminum in the differential casing.
Few reasonably-priced sports cars bettered the Alfa Spider, yet the car was never a particularly popular seller. Even its co-starring role in The Graduate with Dustin Hoffman didn't deliver sustained high sales. Alfa Romeo suffered from weak marketing skills and an awful dealer network (especially in the United States), which, coupled with a price higher than that of some British competitors, kept the Spider a relatively exclusive car.
The 1966 Alfa Romeo Spider was an excellent machine, but it never got any better—and it certainly never grew any younger. Despite the exceptionally long production run that the Spider enjoyed, Alfa never made any thorough revisions to the basic design. That was fine for purist Alfisti, but for everyone else the competition just looked better and better. Of course, that was not a problem for those few years in the 1980s when competition just didn't exist. But even then, the Spider was so familiar and admittedly tired that it failed to rouse buyers in great numbers.
Regardless, though the Spider did clearly age, it aged gracefully and remained a faithful friend to the sports car hopeful. Throughout its long life, the Spider was produced in many variations for many different markets. The series arrived in 1966 with a model called the Duetto.
The Alfa Duetto was one of the curved-tail Spiders, and it used a 1,570cc version of the Alfa twin cam. Succeeding the Duetto in the U.S. market was the Spider Veloce of 1969 (no Alfas were imported to the U.S. for 1968), which used a 1,779cc engine and the advanced SPICA mechanical fuel injection system. In 1971 (no U.S.-bound Alfas in 1970), the Spider Veloce continued with the 1,779cc engine but the curved-tail styling disappeared, replaced by a more conventional Kamm-tail treatment.
All American market Alfa Spiders from 1972 used a 1,962cc version of the all-alloy engine. For 1975, the U.S. cars received ungainly bumpers to meet new federal standards. This compromised design continued until 1982, with more thorough revisions updating the Spider's appearance for 1983.
The 1983 models gained better-integrated (though still bloated) bumpers, a metal front spoiler, and a revised rear end with new taillight clusters and a soft rubber spoiler. By this time, Spiders used Bosch electronic fuel injection that improved reliability though not performance. In 1985, a new trim level called the Graduate was introduced to capitalize on Alfa's brief moment of stardom nearly twenty years prior. The Spider Graduate slotted below the Spider Veloce and was the entry-level model, with vinyl seats and top, manual windows, and steel wheels.
In 1986, the Spider series received a revised interior and yet another trim level: the Quadrifoglio. The top-of-the-line Spider Quadrifoglio possessed an interior similar to that found in the Veloce, but with blood red carpets and gray leather seats with contrasting red stitching. On the outside, the Quadrifoglio was distinctively styled with a controversial plastic body kit that consisted of front and rear lower bumpers as well as side skirts. It also came with unique 15' alloy wheels and a removable hardtop. Alfa offered the Quadrifoglio in only three colors: red, silver, and black. Graduate, Veloce, and Quadrifoglio trims were offered to American buyers until 1990.
For 1991, the Alfa Spider received its final freshening. The interior was updated, but the most important changes were made to the body. Alfa Romeo fitted these Spiders with well-integrated front and rear bumpers, revised outer rocker panels, and a new tail that eschewed the 1980s-style spoiler and light clusters for a smoother look with full-width taillights inspired by the Alfa 164. Pininfarina, which built Alfa Romeo's Spiders in addition to designing them, produced its last examples of the model in calendar year 1993. For the 1994 model year, 190 Alfa Romeo Spider Commemorative Editions were imported into the U.S. to mark the very end of the series.
The Alfa Spider became less and less competitive as it aged, slowly turning into the kind of tweedy anachronism usually produced by Britain. It never lost its charm, though. The snarling twin cam, the crisp 5-speed, the cozy interior with its comically awful driving position—the Alfa Spider was everything a car should be, except practical, safe, and sensible. In other words, it was everything a sports car should be. Never pretentious, never ostentatious, and, somehow, always in style. If people could only age as well as the Spider, maybe growing old wouldn't be so bad. Then again, from behind the wheel of a Spider it doesn't even matter that we age. This car is timeless. Endless. Eternal. There's an air of immortality and invincibility about the Alfa. No matter how old it is, no matter how old we are—just double-clutch downshift a couple gears to make that twin cam scream, and the story starts all over again.

The 2-door convertible Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce was introduced in 1971 and was the replacement to the 1750 Spider. The original Spider Duetto, was released in 1966, was only produced for one year before being replaced by the 1750 Spider Veloce. The 1750 was launched in 1967 with both the body and the monocoque construction was designed by Pininfarina. The successor to the Giulia Spider Veloce and the Duetto, the Spider was not as much a sports vehicle as a competitive convertible touring car with a very unique shape. The Alfa Romeo Spider is best known as 'Duetto' or as 'Osso di Seppia' (round-tail) nicknames that were both dubbed by the Italian.
In 1968, a new Spider 1300 'Junior' was introduced to the automobile market and featured a 1290cc engine that was capable of producing 89 hp. The Junior didn't have the same features as the 1750, including the brake servo, hubcaps, opening quarterlight or plastic headlight fairings. In 1972 a visually identical Spider to the 1300, the 1600 Junior was launched. The 1300 was eventually discontinued in 1977 and in 1983 the 'Junior' name was dropped from the 1600 name.
Production of the 1750 Spider ended in 1971 to make room for the larger engined 2000 Spider. Enhanced with a new 2.0 liter engine that produced 132bhp, the 2000 shared many similarities with the 2000 though it now carried a 1962cc, four cylinder twin cam engine.
Until the mid-1990's, the Veloce continued to be produced. Becoming larger during the 1970's, bumpers that were energy absorbing became part of the additional features. Sales were allowed to continue in the US after the replacement of the earlier chrome items.
Modified in 1974 and 1975, both the 1300 and 2000 Spiders were modified for the addition of two small seats placed behind the front seats. The Spider was now a 'two plus two' four seater. In 1983, a major modification to the Spider was the introduction of black rubber front and rear bumpers. Now incorporating a grille, the front bumper modification considerably altered the exterior appearance of the car. A small spoiler was also added to the trunk lid.
Introduced in 1985, the Quadrifoglio Verde (Green Cloverleaf) model, a nearly identical prototype of the standard Spider Veloce model was introduced. Slight modifications such as new sideskirts, front and rear spoilers, optional removable hardtop and mirrors were included on this modified version. The Verde carried a 1962 cc double overhead cam four-cylinder engine mated to a five speed manual transmission.
In the U.S., the model released was dubbed the 'Graduate'.
Achieving worldwide acclaimed celebrity to the 'Spider', the 1967 film 'The Graduate' which starred Dustin Hoffman, brought unbelievable attention to the Alfa Romeo line. A less expensive 'entry level' Alfa vehicle, the Graduate shared the same engine as the Spider Veloce and Quadrifoglio Verde though it lacked the alloy wheels and luxury options that both of the other models featured. The Graduate remained on the market until 1990 and had a vinyl top, basic vinyl seats, manual windows and standard steel wheels.
In 1990 the most major and final update was made to the European Spider model in the addition of the North American's Bosch electronic fuel injection. Also, the front under-bumper spoiler and rear trunk-lid spoiler were taken off the Spider, and 164-style rear lights that stretched across the width of the vehicle. These updates did not appear on the North American models until 1991. North American Spiders also featured power steeling and a driver-side airbag.
An all-new Alfa Spider was showcased in 1994. Also a 1994 model, a limited edition Spider Commemorative Edition was produced for the North American market. Only a total of 190 models were created of the Commemorative Edition and all of them had a small plaque affixed to the dashboard with the identification of which vehicle it was. The CE's also had additional features that included a special badge on the nose, unique gold center caps on the 'phonedial' 15' wheels, along with burled wood interior trim.
To modernize the Alfa Spider, the front end was remodeled in 2003 by the original designer Pininfarina. Much like the Alfa 156 and 147, the model was redesigned to make the iconic badge more prominent, along with the four six bar chrome grill. The engine was updated to a new 165 bhp, and a V6 unit that achieved 20 bhp at 6200 rpm and able reach a top speed of 158 mph. The Alfa Spider was the fastest Alfa Romeo ever produced.
Regarded as a design classic, the Spider remained in production for nearly three decades with only slight design enhancements and mechanical updates throughout the years. Various models of Alfa Romeo's have become cultural symbols over the decades, this is no doubt influenced by the numerous prolific Alfa Romeo owners clubs and Alfa Romeo Model Registers. The prestigious owner of an Alfa Romeo is called an 'Alfista' in Italian, while an entire group of them is called 'Alfisti'.

Tesla Motors has started work on building modifications at a plant in Lathrop in San Joaquin County. The electric automaker is already seeking job applicants for the new facility.
Tesla says it is expanding its infrastructure and has signed leases for more than 625,000 square feet of California real estate. The Lathrop plant is located along Interstate 5.
It covers 430,000 square feet and served as a parts distribution center for the NUMMI auto plant in Fremont which shut down in 2010.
Lathrop City Manager Steve Salvatore welcomes Tesla Motors and the operation will bring 100 much needed jobs."For something like this where it brings a little big higher paying job to the area, a little more technical in nature, this type of facility is perfect for an expanding Bay Area."
Salavatore says Tesla has taken out permits for modifications to the building and Tesla's website lists jobs related to manufacturing at the Lathrop plant.

Conyers Accuser: Capitol Hill Needs to Go Further to Combat Harassment
The House joined the Senate this week in mandating sexual harassment training for all members and staff in an effort to combat apparent wide spread sexual misconduct on Capitol Hill. Yet, studies have shown that training is not substantially effective at minimizing rates of harassment. Other bipartisan measures are also making their way through Congress to increase transparency and accountability around sexual misconduct. Melanie Sloan, a high-profile ethics lawyer in Washington, says it is a good first step, but more needs to be done to change the culture. She says she experienced harassment on Capitol Hill; last week she accused Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) of harassment during the 1990's when she worked as legal counsel under him in the House Judiciary Committee. She sits down with Soledad O'Brien to discuss her attempt to file a complaint about the harassment, the rules that insulate members of Congress and the need to reform reporting practices on Capitol Hill.
