Street Rodder / PPG Road Tour: Leg 1
From Daytona Beach to Ocean City
The Total Performance leg kicked off the 2007 PPG / STREET RODDER Road Tour season with a fun-filled weekend in the Daytona Beach area on Saturday and Sunday, May 12-13. After gathering at Total Performances' showroom at Destination Daytona, the Road Tourians took a cruise over to A1A and made the 45-minute trip down to the historic Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse, just south of Daytona Beach.
After a brief look at the famous lighthouse and surrounding buildings, we had a great lunch at the North Turn Restaurant in Ponce Inlet. Besides the fantastic view of the ocean, the restaurant is filled with photos and memorabilia from the 1950s. The original location of the restaurant was actually the north turn of the famous NASCAR beach track where the races were held before the Daytona Speedway was built in 1959. We traveled as a group from the North Turn Restaurant to the once-a-month cruise-in at New Smyrna. We were treated to a special parking area and enjoyed the pleasant afternoon. Many thanks to Carroll Hamilton of Total Performance for putting together a great day of fun in the Florida sun.
On Sunday, we gathered again at the Total Performance shop at Destination Daytona for a 90-mile trip to Ocala and a visit to the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing. For those who have not made a stop at this fantastic facility, you have to pay a visit if you are in the area. The two large buildings are filled with an incredible collection of racing cars and memorabilia Don has collected during his many years as "Big Daddy" of all the drag racers. The trip back to Ormond Beach got us a little wet, but everybody survived to enjoy a hot dog picnic dinner at Destination Daytona, which was provided by Total Performance and Classic Automobilia.
We were ready to roll the next morning at 7:30 a.m.; accompanied by some showers, almost 30 vehicles pulled out to start the trip up the East Coast to our ultimate destination of Ocean City, Maryland, and the Cruisin' Ocean City event. Our travels on Monday included a trip north on A1A to St. Augustine, Florida, and a stop at the historic Castillo de San Marcos national monument, which dates back to the 17th century. After another great lunch at the Conch House Restaurant on the water, we made the 200-mile trip north to our stop for the evening on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.
The Total Performance leg continued its trek on Tuesday up the beautiful East Coast of the United States. After Monday evening's stay on Hilton Head Island, we were up early as we rolled north on Route 17 toward our lunchtime stop in historic Charleston, North Carolina. Hugh Hoitt, and members of the Street Rods Unlimited car club of Charleston, arranged to meet us at Bessinger's Barbeque for lunch and to give us some ideas of what to see in their beautiful city. After lunch, some of the Road Tourians took a guided walking tour of the city, while others visited the new North Charleston and American LaFrance Fire Museum and Educational Center that had just opened less than three weeks earlier. The museum contains more than a dozen fully restored classic and vintage fire engines and fire-fighting apparatus.
After lunch we embarked on a two-hour drive to Myrtle Beach for our Tuesday evening stay. It was Bike Week in Myrtle Beach, so there was plenty to see and do that evening. Our hotel was directly across the street from the Broadway at the Beach entertainment complex, which is filled with lots of restaurants and clubs.
We were up and rolling north by 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Our stop for lunch was in New Bern, North Carolina, at Andy's Cheeseburger. We enjoyed a great burger-and-milkshake lunch, and then headed out on the highway again to Kill Devil Hills on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Some members of the First Flight Cruisers car club stopped by our hotel to invite us to their weekly cruise in nearby Kitty Hawk. They usually have it on Tuesday night, but actually changed it to Wednesday since they heard we were going to be in the area. It was fun to see some of the local cars, and the club members enjoyed hearing the stories of our trip.
On Thursday morning, we visited the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kitty Hawk, the actual site of the first recoded flight. It was awe-inspiring to stand on the exact spot where such an important event in the history of mankind took place. The museum and facility is first class and is worth a visit. From the Outer Banks area, we headed north under cloudy skies. I had previously met one of our fellow Road Tourians, Hoyt Duff, and his wife, Bobbie Lou, on the Lokar Tour to Kalamazoo last year, and they invited us to their fishing pier in Virginia Beach. Bobbie Lou really rolled out the red carpet for us at their beautiful facility, the Lynnhaven Fishing Pier on Chesapeake Bay in Virginia Beach. Everyone received a goodie bag that Bobbie Lou had put together, and we were fed one of the best meals of the entire week. Shrimp, pulled pork, and fried chicken were served with Momma Duff's rum cake and ice cream for dessert-all compliments of Bobbie Lou and Hoyt! Thanks, folks; it was a great way to wind up an amazing week.
From there, we all headed out to our final destination of Cruisin' Ocean City. By Thursday evening, the Road Tourians participating in the Total Performance leg of the tour had arrived in Ocean City. Nothing bonds a group together like a few days on the road in street rods. We had very few car problems and this year's Brookville-bodied three-window Deuce coupe, powered by a blown Shadow Rods Flathead powerplant, covered the 1,400 miles beautifully.
It was a wild weekend in Ocean City (see pg. 80 for full coverage of the event). Sunday came quickly and it was time for everyone to head home. There was just one week before the Advanced Plating leg of the Road Tour headed from the NSRA Mid-America Nationals in Springfield, Missouri, to the huge Nationals East in York, Pennsylvania.
Stay tuned. The summer Road Tour has just started!

France will always occupy a special place in our portfolio, being where it all began for us back in 1983. There is not, and will never be, anywhere quite like France: eccentric, idiosyncratic and unswervingly confident as it is in the ability of 'terroir' and tradition to continue to produce the world's best wine in the face of ever-increasing competition.
The French are immensely proud of their heritage and with a winemaking history stretching back over 2000 years this is hardly a surprise. Yet while many remain close to their roots, the dynamism, passion and energy we find amongst this country's winemakers is unprecedented and is increasingly reflected in the quality and diversity of the wines. And after thirty-five years we are still astonished by the extent of variety that France has to offer.
We are also surprised at just how many of France's best winemaking regions, especially those of the Languedoc-Roussillon and the South West, remain oddly undiscovered, and continue in our mission to bring ever more exciting varieties from little known areas to your attention.

Despite the fact the today's electric software program industry failed to begin till the late 1800s, we've been fascinated just by electricity considering the fact that our ancestors and forefathers first seen lightning. The long lost Greeks found that rubbing emerald produced a power charge. Electricity may be a basic area of nature along with being one of your hottest forms of one's. It may be a secondary power source that we tend to get belonging to the conversion associated with primary sources which include natural gas, oil, fossil fuel and nuclear ability. Many spots and residential areas were crafted alongside waterfalls in which turned waters wheels that you perform work. Before the start of the electric source generation, kerosene lighting lit real estate, iceboxes were which is used to keep cuisine cold, and additionally rooms were definitely warmed as a result of stoves. The "necessities" about today that include light sources, fans, air conditioning and wine cooling units stem from your ideas connected with inventors that will lived over a century ago. Many folks are well-versed in Benjamin Franklin's legendary kite play with it and Jones Edison's electrical bulb, but insurance provider many several other inventors of which contributed greatly to your modern takes advantage of electric source. Some of them inventors purely sought up skill upon good old ideas whilst others saw a fabulous need together with let their own curiosity go wild with the help of each experimentation until some people discovered a little something new. Each creation paved just how for our next.
In a mid-1600s Otto von Guericke, any German physicist, started trying out generating electric power. In 1670 this individual invented the initial machine to provide electricity in volumes using the ball from sulfur of which he rotated and balanced and this individual held an individual's hand from the ball, asking it by using electricity. Other folks, such when Isaac Newton, later made use of this machine employing a ball associated with glass rather than sulfur, and later your cylinder, and a window plate. In 1747 Benjamin Franklin began to experiment by using electricity as well as proposed the idea of confident and damaging charge. He completed his well-known kite play to show that turbo was a type of electrical release in 1752. During an important thunderstorm she or he flew the kite which includes a stiff twine pointing up along with the surface of the kite along with a key linked with the many other end from the string, and allow it hang all around a vessel. The chain became wet from your rain and also caused initiates to jump on the key on the jar prior to the jar couldn't handle more charges. This test proved in which electricity not to mention lightning can be one inside the same and this pointed equipment conduct electricity as good as balls, ultimately causing Franklin's invention on the lightning fishing rod.

Visual Social Network 'We Heart It' Takes Off
There's a new social network with over twenty million users who trade photos tagged with things like "beach" or "flowers." 'We Heart It' is a mobile image-based app that has taken off with young people under 24. CEO Ranah Edelin joins digits.

Julie Davies,
who works for Ann Summers,
talks about one of the home parties:
"Tonight there'll be 300 parties
going on just in London,
3000 all over the country.
Most of what we sell is underwear,
that's what the girls go for.
We have all different types of parties
from grotty dirty estates
right up to mansion houses.
All sorts.
Caterham - there's quite a few
around there.
They go for the naughty stuff
rather than the clothes.
We've got a selection of games
we play at the parties,
like naughty bingo.
18's the minimum age,
but the eldest lady
I've ever had at a party
was 84 years old -
she was the worst
out of all of them.
All she bought was a chocolate willy
but she wanted to do all the forfeits.
It was in a block of flats
and she run along the balcony
with crotchless knickers on her head.
I would say the reason
it is so popular is
because it is for women,
and it's nice to have a night out
with all the girls.
They come in,
they can moan,
they can have a laugh,
they can just do what they want.
We don't want men there.
They're boring.
Who wants a man
when you can have a good time?"

NATO vows action on Afghan attacks
BRUSSELS (AP) — The surge of assaults by Afghan soldiers and police on their foreign allies will not derail plans to draw down international troops from Afghanistan, but in the meantime, NATO will "do everything it takes" to stop such insider attacks, the military alliance's top official said Tuesday.
"Our goal, our strategy, our timetable remain the same," Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said.
The United States and its allies are pushing to have Afghan forces take over security for the country by the end of 2014. That effort has been imperiled by the spike in insider attacks, which have killed 45 international service members this year, most of them Americans. There were at least 12 such attacks in August alone, resulting in 15 deaths.
On Sunday, the U.S. military halted the training of some Afghan forces. Although the move affects only about 1,000 trainees, a small fraction of the country's 350,000-strong army and police, it highlighted the potential of the attacks to derail the U.S.-Afghan handover of security considered so essential to the international exit strategy.
Additional measures to prevent insider attacks may include strengthened vetting and screening procedures, improved counterintelligence, as well as cultural awareness training, Fogh Rasmussen told journalists. He did not elaborate.
Officials say that the international coalition ultimately hopes to re-check the backgrounds of the entire Afghan army and police forces.
"We have introduced and will continue to introduce a broad range of measures to prevent such attacks, because these attacks threaten to undermine trust and confidence between foreign troops and Afghan security forces," Fogh Rasmussen said. "We'll do everything it takes to prevent such attacks."
Military historians have noted that that the level of violence by local forces in Afghanistan against their Western allies was unprecedented in modern guerrilla warfare. This included the Vietnam War and wars waged by France, Britain and other colonial powers since the 1940s.
In such conflicts, the guerrillas usually sought to infiltrate local security forces to obtain intelligence on enemy intentions or to subvert enemy operations rather than mount attacks on Western soldiers, said Martin Windrow, a British military historian and expert on colonial wars.

Mr. Obama spent about two minutes at the beginning of a longer statement about new U.S. actions with key partners on China trade practices to stress his determination to ensure a full investigation and full accountability for the killings.
He said the United States takes the matter "as seriously as if it were our own citizens and own children who were murdered." The killing of innocent civilians, he added, "is outrageous and unacceptable" and does not represent "who we are as a country" or represent the U.S. military.
Mr. Obama offered this assurance to Americans and the Afghan people. "I can assure the American people and the Afghan people that we will follow the facts wherever they lead us, and we will make sure that anybody who was involved is held fully accountable with the full force of the law," he said.
President Obama said he met Tuesday with the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, Ryan Crocker, and the commander of U.S. and international forces, Marine Corps Lieutenant General John Allen, who are in Washington. Mr. Obama said he has "extraordinary confidence" in them and in American forces in Afghanistan.
President Obama mentioned that he and visiting British Prime Minister David Cameron would be discussing what he called "the way forward" in Afghanistan.
Mr. Obama made a point of addressing his remarks to Americans who recent public opinion surveys show are increasingly opposed to the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan. "Make no mistake. We have a strategy that will allow us to responsibly wind down this war. We are steadily transitioning to the Afghans who are moving into the lead. And that is going to allow us to bring our troops home," he said.
The president noted that a total of 33,000 troops will be withdrawn by the end of the year, the full surge force he sent in 2009 to blunt Taliban advances. There are about 91,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, with another 34,000 to 37,000 NATO forces.
In a CNN interview on Monday, General Allen said there is no contemplation of "any form of an accelerated drawdown" of troops ahead of the 2014 NATO target to end its combat role in Afghanistan.
President Obama said on Tuesday that although there is no doubt the United States and its partners face a "difficult challenge," the work of devastating al-Qaida's leadership and denying the terrorist group safe haven will continue.

They say the lawmakers who support gun control are ignoring facts, logic and the U.S. Supreme Court.
"If they are going to continue to propose dozens and dozens of bills to affect our Second Amendment, we are gonna use whatever means are legally available to us to fight back," says Sam Paredes with Gun Owners of California.
Recall backers named five Democrats they'll try to defeat, including Assembly Speaker John Pérez. They said they could add more lawmakers as they refine their list in the coming weeks.
A Pérez spokesman says the speaker and his Assembly Democrats are proud of their support for what they call "common-sense gun safety legislation." Democrats also point to a Field Poll earlier this year showing that 60 percent of California voters support stronger gun control measures.

Dolphins keeping backup QB Matt Moore
Matt Moore obviously believes the Miami Dolphins are building themselves into a contender.
The career backup quarterback and spot starter could've taken advantage of a weak free-agent market at his position and found a spot to give him a better shot at a No. 1 job. Instead, Moore has re-signed with the Dolphins as Ryan Tannehill's backup. Terms of the agreement were not immediately available.
The list of unsigned NFL passers now includes names like Jason Campbell, Drew Stanton, Byron Leftwich, Derek Anderson, David Carr, Bruce Gradkowski, Josh Johnson, Brian Hoyer, Rex Grossman and the McCown brothers.
Moore is the second potential free agent the Dolphins, who entered the offseason with more than $40 million worth of cap space to work with, have kept in house with a new deal. Wide receiver Brian Hartline put his signature on a five-year, $30.775 million contract Thursday night.
Defensive tackle Randy Starks received the franchise tag Monday.
FREE AGENCY PREVIEW:AFC East (Feb. 28)
The Dolphins are still looking to add weapons around Tannehill, with wide receiver Mike Wallace being a likely target. Keeping Hartline and Moore in the mix is certainly a good start before the three-day period to negotiate with other teams' free agents begins Saturday.
Moore, 28, joined the Dolphins in 2011 as a free agent after four seasons with the Carolina Panthers. He started 12 games that season and posted modest numbers: 2,497 yards, 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions for a team that went 6-10 in Tony Sparano's last season as coach. Moore played in only two games last year as Tannehill earned the starting job in preseason.
Moore, a scrappy player with a good arm and decent mobility, could've spoken to teams like the Arizona Cardinals and New York Jets to see if he had a shot at beating out their incumbent quarterbacks. But his decision to remain in Miami has depleted an already-thin market and will allow Kevin Kolb, Mark Sanchez and a few other quarterbacks to breathe a little easier.

"Every lesson is well planned and the teachers are all easy to connect to and get in touch with." Hugo, seventh grade student
New admission policy from January 1 2018
Internationella Engelska Skolan has noticed an issue which has begun to affect our internal queuing system. The queues to our schools can be so long that a child born late in the year has no chance of receiving a place even if its parents register in the queue on the day the child is born.
Internationella Engelska Skolan recognizes that this causes a problem from an equality perspective, as children born late in the year don´t have the same chance of obtaining a place in one of our schools.
In order to address this, Internationella Engelska Skolan has decided to change the method of registering in the queue.
From January 1, 2018 it will no longer be possible to register in the queue the same calendar year that a child is born. This means that children born 2018 will not be able to register in the queue until 2019. The queue will be open from February 1, 2019 for children born during 2018.
For further information regarding these new rules, please contact the specific school you hope to register for.

John Metcalfe
John Metcalfe was CityLab's Bay Area bureau chief, covering climate change and the science of cities.
Two to 7 feet: That's how much scientists expect the sea level to rise by 2100 if humanity doesn't curb its greenhouse-gas emissions.
Seem like there's a rather large amount of wiggle room in that estimate? Well, even the best-case scenario is awful, as you can see in the maps below.
These aquatic models, based on U.S. government data, arrive courtesy of Climate Central, a group of journalists and researchers in New Jersey. On Thursday, the organization released a report of doom showing what could happen when storm surges strike in this higher-seas environment. To boil it down: Many coastal cities are facing massive, devastating flooding. Says Climate Central:
Global warming has raised global sea level about 8 inches since 1880, and the rate of rise is accelerating. Rising seas dramatically increase the odds of damaging floods from storm surges. A Climate Central analysis finds the odds of "century" or worse floods occurring by 2030 are on track to double or more, over widespread areas of the U.S. These increases threaten an enormous amount of damage. Across the country, nearly 5 million people live in 2.6 million homes at less than 4 feet above high tide — a level lower than the century flood line for most locations analyzed.
Today, we can scratch our heads over the news that the island nation of Kiribati is making plans to relocate to someplace higher. But in mere decades from now, thousands of residents of New York City, New Orleans, Boston, Washington, D.C., and southeast Florida could be making similar grim preparations. These are some of the places most at risk from grand-scale floods exacerbated by climate change, according to the study. In human terms, that's 284,000 people in New Orleans whose homes could be underwater by 2100, 141,000 in NYC and 312,000 in the Florida counties of Miami-Dade and Broward.
You can read more about this new research in the Climate Central report and this AP dispatch, but here's the short mappy version. (Play around with the interactive mapping tool here, searchable by zip code.) Behold, Miami with a 2-foot sea-level gain above high tide. White areas bordered in blue represent dry land. The ocean has bitten off large mouthfuls of beach real estate:
Miami with a 7-foot rise above high tide. Basically, there's nothing left:
New York City with a 2-foot rise above high tide. East New York suffers hard in this scenario, and so does New Jersey:
With a 7-foot rise above high tide. Coney Island's gone, the fringes of lower Manhattan are submerged and... what's that? No, not Redhook! Where will Brooklynites get their cheap furniture and Swedish meatballs now?
Boston with a 2-foot rise above high tide:
Boston with a 7-foot rise above high tide. Phew, Little Italy survives:
Los Angeles at 2 feet above high tide didn't have too much of a hole in it. But at 7 feet, the loss is significant:
With "The 2100 Project: An Atlas for A Green New Deal," the McHarg Center tries to visualize how the warming world will reshape the United States.
In California, the ride-hailing company is changing a policy used as a safeguard against driver discrimination against low-income and minority riders.
In cities like New York, Paris, Rotterdam, and soon San Francisco, car-free streets are emerging amid a growing movement.
Two new studies have revived the long-running debate over how police respond to white criminal suspects versus African Americans.
Several years into a ten-year "Vision Zero" target, some cities that took on a radical safety challenge are seeing traffic fatalities go up.

Five Things Broadway Won't Tell You
Broadway is especially busy during the holidays in New York, with shows now making almost 60% more than they did a decade ago. Quentin Fottrell joins Lunch Break with five things would-be theatergoers should know before they head to the shows. Photo: Getty

Hands On with the New Drop.io Manager
Drop.io's been one of my favorite Web services for a while now; like YouSendIt and Mediafire, it's a simple, free way to swap files, but it has a much more robust feature set. Users set up a "drop" for the files they'd like to share, set a password for it, and then anyone with access can add to the drop, download the files, and edit or delete files. It's a bit like a usable FTP server that doesn't require intervention from your I.T. department. Of course, we know such a thing doesn't exist, and that's why I like Drop.io.
Today, Drop.io launched a beta version of its new Drop.io Manager, which gives businesses a customizable way to share files and create their own administrative and security settings. Manager users can set up templates (or "codes") that will be in effect on all of their drops, so it's easier to manage a large network of drops for a company. The drops can also be custom branded for external or internal use.
Drop.io Manager accounts cost $20/month for 20GB of storage and 25 managed drops at a time, or $100 for 100GB and 250 managed drops (and that pricing is in effect for the beta version). Founder Sam Lessin told me that the service caters to photo organizations, architectural firms, and other companies with large amounts of big files changing hands frequently.
"We'll never charge for our basic drops," said Lessin. "But our focus for the next year is how do we take this great platform and fit it to the needs of this creative professional world and general organizations that have file-sharing needs."
We at PCMag.com used the alpha version of Drop.io Manager extensively last week during CES, and we certainly liked what we saw. We had 20 reporters, bloggers, and editors on the ground in Las Vegas, plus a team of producers in Vegas and another in New York. Some of them had VPN access, and many didn't, and there were massive amounts of text, video, and photos swirling around. I set up customized drops using Drop.io Manager that we could use as online repositories; anyone could upload a file, and Drop.io would automatically send a note to our team of producers letting them know. If they wanted, the producers could also have chosen to be notified via Twitter or RSS, or a number of other ways.
The whole thing worked pretty much without a hitch. We didn't explore some of the more quirky features (the conference call dial-in, voicemail-to-MP3 converter, or fax submissions, for instance), but for straight file sharing and organization, it worked well. Everyone submitted and received the files they needed, there was no real learning curve for new users, and our Outlook inboxes were spared the onslaught of huge attachments. The one complaint I had with Drop.io Manager was that I couldn't go in and adjust the settings on existing codes; if I wanted to tweak a couple security settings or add an additional e-mail address to the notifier list, I had to create a whole new code and reassign it to my drops. I assumed that was a bug with the alpha version, but Lessin assured me that it was intentional; either way, I can see it being a big hassle for enterprise users.
The only other complaint I got was from News Editor Mark Hachman, who wanted a way to see who uploaded each file. Drop.io doesn't require user logins except for admin users (everyone uses the same login to access the drop), so unless the user puts an identifier in the filename, everything is anonymous. An easy temporary solution might be to allow for tagging or comments that are viewable from the main drop pageI suspect, though, that admins with lots of drops and lots of users to oversee will need to do away with anonymous uploads simply for security purposes.
Those are small issues though. Overall, the service worked great for our needs. Find out more about Drop.io Manager at manager.drop.io.

Human Genome Sequencing Projects Receive Third Year of Funding
Human Genome Sequencing Projects Receive Third Year of Funding
July 1998
Seven research projects to spell out the human genetic instruction book have been extended for a third year to further refine strategies for completing the DNA sequence of the human. In the process, the group aims to spell out some 117 million of the 3 billion DNA "letters," or bases, that make up the human sequence and deposit the information in public databases. That will raise the amount of human DNA sequence contributed by the federally funded Human Genome Project (HGP) to over 184 million bases [67Mb current 117Mb].
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), the component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that leads the HGP, will award the seven projects a total of $60.5 million over the next year beginning today.
The sequencing projects began two years ago to pilot test new ways to apply sequencing strategies to the large and complex human genome. At that time, only much smaller genomes of micro-organisms had been sequenced. In experiments to scale-up those methods, scientists were learning better ways to manage rapid data production efforts, the capacity of automated sequencing instruments had increased, and newer, higher-throughput sequencing instruments were ready to be applied to large-scale sequencing projects.
Still, there were many lessons to learn. What kind of genome "map" was best to start from, for example? Would existing maps suffice, or would sequencers have to modify the maps specifically for sequencing? How would all the repeated sequences affect assembling the data? And finally, how much would it cost?
To answer those questions, pilot project investigators have for the past two years been testing strategies that span the entire large-scale sequencing process, from up-front preparation of sequence maps through assembly and analysis of the data. Such strategies aim to lead to full-scale production sequencing of human DNA to carry out the Human Genome Project's ultimate goal: the complete, accurate, finished sequence of human DNA by the year 2005. Last spring, progress of pilot projects was assessed and decisions to award a third year of funding were based on several factors, including: exportability of the strategies and technologies; plans for incorporating new technologies; likelihood that the pilot project will scale to a successful system for sequencing the entire human genome; quality of the management plan; demonstrated success in increasing throughput, decreasing cost, and maintaining accuracy in DNA sequencing; and timeliness with which data have been placed in the public domain.
The following investigators received third-year funding:

Gorgeous, funny, and wildly uninhibited, her exes are a veritable Who's Who of Hollywood power players. At 28 (31), she is blessed with a firm (if curvaceous) bod, a designer wardrobe, a Daddy-subsidized apartment, and an A-list speed-dial. But with her thirty-second birthday looming, our heroine is starting to panic. Who on earth (read: Hollywood) could possibly make Clarissa Alpert an honest woman? Enter Aaron Mason, the latest hottest new producer in town. From the moment Clarissa sees him, she sets her sights on making him the future "Mr. Alpert."
Rescue Me
Amanda McHenry had no idea 1985 would be the year she fell in love — and the year her world would come apart. Fresh out of college, hungry for a shot in the entertainment industry, Amanda took a gig as a secretary in the offices of a sleazy television talk show. Saddled with looking after her drug-dealing brother, his junkie girlfriend, and their baby son, Amanda was nevertheless intent on making good things happen while her devoted boyfriend finished his law degree at Harvard. She had no intention of cheating on James — until she fell for Gabe, her brother's passionate friend. Swept up in a whirlwind romance, Amanda realized that she would have to choose between following her heart or clinging to the safe and familiar. And when her brother's "career" threatened to destroy everything she held dear, Amanda's choice became a matter of life and death.

Head coach Rex Ryan upgraded Smith on Thursday, saying that his safety is "limited" in practice after having been relegated to working with the trainers the past couple weeks. Smith had knee and hip injuries that kept him from his normal heavy workload on the team and he sighed a bit when asked about his health and a possible return this Sunday in Miami.
"I'm tired of being asked that. Feeling better than I was, making progress," Smith told The Jets Blog.
"We got a couple days left, I'm progressing. Looking forward to getting out there and actually doing something."
Thursday represented Smith's most extensive practice since the injury and he felt fine running with the defense, even if he was still limited in what he could do on the field.
"A little bit [rusty] because it's been awhile since I played football. As far as running around and stuff, I felt pretty good," Smith said.
There was no particular benchmark in his recovery that ushered in the upgrade of his status. While he won't give a percentage on the likelihood of his return this weekend in SunLife Stadium, it was still a positive sign to see the veteran safety on the field and active again, even if slightly rusty.
"Just kind of the way the progression went, it wasn't a big jump. We didn't want to have any setbacks, that's the big thing so we were patient with it," Smith said. "I feel good."

December 30, 2018, 9:39 pmDennis SchroderG, Oklahoma City Thunder
Dennis Schroder put up 19 points on 8-of-19 shooting in 33 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Mavs.
He added four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two 3-pointers to the box score. He has provided late-round value this season and will be able to maintain that as long as the Thunder's shooting guard position remains as shaky as it is. He should see minutes around 30 and produce with quality sixth man numbers all season long.
Fantasy News
December 9, 2019, 12:23 amJosh OkogieSG, Minnesota Timberwolves
Josh Okogie played well against the Lakers on Sunday as he put up 18 points and four rebounds on 4-of-8 shooting.
Okogie knocked down three triples and made all seven of his attempts from the stripe. Jarrett Culver chipped in 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting and Keita Bates-Diop scored 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting with two blocks. All three should not be on standard league radars, but Bates-Diop offers the highest upside.
December 9, 2019, 12:17 amShabazz NapierPG, Minnesota Timberwolves
Shabazz Napier put up 13 points with six dimes in a loss to the Lakers on Sunday.
Napier shot 5-of-9 from the field and put up solid numbers in just 15 minutes of action. Jeff Teague contributed with 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting in 24 minutes. Teague is a late-round value, while Napier is a deep-league assists and steals specialist.
December 9, 2019, 12:12 amRobert CovingtonSF, Minnesota Timberwolves
Robert Covington put up 16 points with seven cash counters in a 142-125 loss to the Lakers on Sunday.
Covington hit three triples and added three steals and one block to the stat sheet. Covington is trotting along with his typical top-50 value and consistent defensive stats. He is one of the most consistent players in the league when it comes to fantasy.
December 9, 2019, 12:09 amAlex CarusoSG, Los Angeles Lakers
Alex Caruso put up 16 points on 5-of-11 shooting in a win over the Wolves on Sunday.
Caruso added four rebounds, four assists and two steals to the stat sheet. He made two of his three attempts from beyond the arc. He was second on the team in minutes with 30 and he is worth a look in deep leagues.
December 9, 2019, 12:06 amLeBron JamesSF, Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James put up 32 points and 13 assists in a win over the Wolves on Sunday.
James shot 12-of-20 from the field and 6-of-8 from beyond the arc. Although Anthony Davis has asserted himself as the top option on the Lakers, James is still a top-10 fantasy asset and underdog MVP candidate.
December 9, 2019, 12:03 amAnthony DavisPF-C, Los Angeles Lakers
Anthony Davis dropped 50 points on 20-of-29 shooting in a 142-125 victory over the Wolves on Sunday.
Davis added seven rebounds, six assists, four steals and one block to the stat sheet. AD took over this game and led the Lakers to the win.
December 8, 2019, 11:59 pmShai Gilgeous-AlexanderSG, Oklahoma City Thunder
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put up 21 points with nine rebounds on 5-of-14 shooting in a win over the Blazers on Sunday.
Gilgeous-Alexander shot 5-of-14 from the field and 9-of-12 from the stripe. SGA is just outside top-100 value on the season and is looking like a late-round scoring specialist. Dennis Schroder chipped in 21 points on 7-of-14 shooting with three triples and two assists. Schroder provides solid scoring and passing value for standard leagues, but is outside top-150 on the season.
December 8, 2019, 11:54 pmChris PaulPG, Oklahoma City Thunder
Chris Paul put up 20 points on 7-of-17 shooting in a win over the Blazers on Sunday.
Paul made two of his six attempts from beyond the arc and added three steals to the box score. He is the best fantasy player on the Thunder this season and is a solid top-30 option.
December 8, 2019, 11:50 pmNerlens NoelC, Oklahoma City Thunder
Nerlens Noel put up 13 points and 12 boards in a 108-96 win over the Blazers on Sunday.
Noel has outplayed Steven Adams this season and did so once again on Sunday night. Adams put up six points, nine rebounds and four assists on 2-of-6 shooting. Noel added one steal and two blocks to the box score as well. Both guys are worth owning in standard leagues and Adams has a huge buy-low window right now.
December 8, 2019, 11:41 pmCarmelo AnthonyPF, Portland Trail Blazers
Carmelo Anthony had a horrible shooting night on Sunday against the Thunder as he put up nine points on 4-of-18 shooting.
Anthony added eight rebounds and three assists to the stat sheet. He has been a late-round value since his signing and top-70 value over the past two weeks. He is worth owning in all formats, especially now that Rodney Hood is out for the season.

The tragic and unexpected death of actor Paul Walker in the midst of filming the seventh installment of the "Fast and Furious" film franchise has, of course, caused the cast and crew to halt production to both grieve and to consider just how the film might move forward without him.
The "Fast" sequel – slated to arrive in theaters on July 11 – isn't the first high-profile film to face uncertainty in the wake of the tragic loss of one of its biggest stars: here are just some of the many ways Hollywood found to move forward following the death of a leading player.
In 1958 the dashing, swashbuckling 44-year-old leading man Tyrone Power was filming director King Vidor's Biblical epic "Solomon and Sheba" in Spain when he died of a heart attack. Though Powers had shot nearly three-quarters of the film, the role of Solomon was recast with Yul Brynner; eagle-eyed viewers can still spot Powers in long shots – and in the dueling sequence.
U.S. & World
When 36-year-old Marilyn Monroe died of a barbiturate overdose in 1962 in what are still mysterious and oft-debated circumstances, she was in the middle of filming the romantic comedy "Something's Got to Give." The film itself was already the subject of her then-contentious relationship with the film's studio, Twentieth Century Fox, and frosty rapport with her director, George Cuckor. Fox had already fired Monroe and attempted to recast her role with starlet Lee Remick, but leading man Dean Martin, who had co-star approval, objected. Monroe was ultimately reinstated but her death sealed the film's fate – at least, under that title: a year later the script was reworked as "Move Over, Darling" starring Doris Day and James Garner.
Funnyman John Belushi was discovered dead of a drug overdose at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles in 1982. At the time the 33-year-old actor had been contemplating a number of film projects, including a paranormal comedy script written by his longtime collaborator Dan Aykroyd with a role tailored especially for him. That film – "Ghostbusters" – would eventually become one of the most popular comedies of all time, with another pal, Bill Murray, taking on the Belushi-inspired role of Dr. Peter Venkman.
Character actor Vic Morrow, 53, was killed along with two child actors in a freak helicopter accident during the filming of "The Twilight Zone: The Movie" in 1983. Enough footage existed to complete his segment of the anthology movie, though the helicopter sequence and all scenes involving the children were removed from the final cut.
Also in 1983 the drowning death of Natalie Wood at age 43 nearly caused her final film "Brainstorm" to be scrapped – its cash-strapped studio MGM had already been itching to halt production even before the tragedy – but director and special effects wizard Douglas Trumball was able to complete the film with insurance payouts. Enough footage of Wood existed to allow for a rewrite and some creative editing and body doubling, and the film was dedicated to Wood's memory.
When Brandon Lee, the 28-year-old son of the late actor/martial arts master Bruce Lee, accidentally killed himself with a prop pistol during filming of "The Crow" in 1993, only eight days of shooting remained. The initial distribution studio, Paramount, backed away from the film over concerns about the tie between its violent subject matter and the real-life tragedy, but Miramax picked it up and added financing. After a respectful production break – and with the blessing of Lee's fiancée – the film was completed using rewrites, stunt doubles and special effects that digitally pasted the actor's face onto their bodies.
In 1993 River Phoenix was in the middle of production in his final film "Dark Blood" when, during a break in shooting, he died of a drug overdose outside the Viper Room at age 23. With only about 80% of the film finished and key scenes still to be shot, "Dark Blood" was ultimately uncompleted – although over time director George Sluizer would rework the film and screen a fragmentary cut at various film festivals in 2012 and 2013. Additionally, several upcoming projects Phoenix had signed on to, including "Interview With a Vampire" had to recast.
Comedian John Candy, 43, had completed filming on his latest comedy "Wagons East!" only a few hours before he died of a heart attack in 1994. Despite it being among two posthumous film releases featuring Candy, the film was a critically derided and flopped at the box office.
Burly longtime bad boy Oliver Reed died of a heart attack in 1999 prior to finishing production on director Ridley Scott's epic "Gladiator," in which he played the aged slave dealer Proximo. The Britsh post-production company The Mill created a digital body double and layered on a CGI mask of the 61-year-old actor's face to complete his shadowy scenes – costing over $3 million for two minutes of footage. It paid off: not only was the film a massive hit at the box office, Reed was posthumously nominated for a British Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance.
One of the more creative solutions to the loss of a lead actor came in the wake of Heath Ledger's death in 2008 from a prescription drug overdose. Ledger, 28, had already completed his now-iconic performance as The Joker in "The Dark Knight" and was in the midst of filming director Terry Gilliam's fantasy "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus."
With the loss of Ledger occurring only one-third of the way through production, Gilliam still hoped to complete the film. He ultimately took an inventive approach: the character was split into multiple incarnations, with Ledger representing the "real world" version while the actor's admiring close friends Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell each essaying the role as it appears in various fantasy realms. Despite the pallor cast over the film by Ledger's death, it ultimately performed strongly at the box office both internationally and in the U.S.

AP RACING Strap Drive Discs with Brembo Calipers, FRONT Pair
Qualifies for Flat Rate Shipping & Handling!
This Strap Drive System (Patent Pending) has been developed by AP RACING both for Road and Race applications. The standard fitment discs on many performance cars can suffer from brake vibrations caused by disc distortion. This generally occurs on fast road and track installations.
On many performance cars the typical standard disc will be a heavy duty ventilated single piece casting. Couple this type of rigid disc to a standard hub and wheel bearing and the result is any hub distortion / run out will transfer onto the disc brake faces. This eventually results in brake vibrations, usually picked up through the steering wheel.
The strap drive system offers a new take on the floating systems already in the market place. Strap drive uses a series of stainless steel straps to locate the disc to the mounting bell, producing a flexible coupling between the hub and the disc faces. This allows the disc to run true in the caliper under all conditions and also permits the disc to expand and contract without being restricted.
Some current replacement discs in the market place have evolved from Motorsport applications, they typically use a drive bobbin to provide some disc float and were devised to Reduce pad knock off on race cars. This system can work on a road application but there are some major drawbacks that the Strap Drive has overcome with its simplicity.
Bobbin float discs rely on a series of drive bobbins moving freely in drive slots. This movement can create wear during service and promote noise. The slots can fill up with road / brake debris causing them to seize. AP RACINGs strap couplings can't suffer from any of these drawbacks. Therefore Service life, brake noise and also brake pedal travel are all improved.
Key Features and Benefits:
- CompaRed with single piece discs the disc is de-coupled from hub, this allows disc to align itself perfectly within the caliper.
- Improved pedal feel and brake response as a result of improved disc alignment within caliper.
- Improved pedal feel at elevated temperatures as disc rotor is able to expand in a controlled manner with little influence from the disc mounting. This greatly Reduces disc coning.
- Controlled axial float of disc rotor Reduces brake 'knock-off' which can result in an inconsistent pedal feel.
- No free moving parts means that the wear problems normally associated with floating disc designs is not present.
- No free moving parts means that there are no clearances to become clogged with debris and corrosion which would prevent a conventional floating disc from operating correctly.
- No free moving parts means no unwanted mechanical noise from discs.
- Disc rotor and strap sub assembly available as service item for cost effective servicing.
- Successfully used in race applications.
Kit Includes:
- AP RACING Strap Drive Discs, Front Pair
- Ferodo DS2500 Brake Pads

Creating Effective Citizens
How do students learn to reconcile often competing notions of democracy, such as individual freedom versus the common good?
Everyone agrees that engaging students in civic concepts and processes is an important goal, but there are differing views about how to meet that goal. Some educators use positive examples from history to provide a solid foundation for the principles of democratic citizenship. Others support this approach but add a rigorous examination of the issues that arise within a democracy.
Both perspectives point to innovative ways of teaching students what effective citizenship entails -- from researching an issue, to voting, to proposing a bill -- so that, as students are learning about the different functions of local and national government, they are also realizing their roles as citizens.
In a participatory democracy, the skills of good citizenship are best introduced at an early age. The classroom provides an ideal forum for this kind of instruction, as students learn how to formulate an opinion and articulate and defend their ideas. Classroom discussions of issues with multiple perspectives help students become better decision makers. When introduced to multiple perspectives, students also learn to think critically and fairly. After understanding how conflict can be settled in the classroom, students can apply their skills on the community and national level.

So as I've mentioned a couple of times - we've recently moved to a new neighborhood and for a food hussy like me - it's so fun to try all the new places in my 'hood! We were tired of fast food and decided to try out the Blublu Greek Restaurant on Hamilton Ave.
We called in an order for a couple of gyros to go but once we went in to pick them up - we noticed all the other great stuff they have! These are traditional Greek dishes and we are excited to try them! Things like Pastitsio, Stuffed Peppers and a dish that ALWAYS reminds me of one of my favorite movies - My Big Fat Greek Wedding - Mousaka!! (Moose Caca?)
Rather than boring old fries we decided to go for the lemon-roasted potatoes and rice for side dishes. Larry has been having a hankering for rice. The potatoes had a lot of flavor but it would have been nice if they'd been a little crispier.
We both got gyros with everything. They were pretty good - fresh and lots of toppings - lettuce was unique but we liked it. It added a nice cool crispness to them. They were a little more light on the meat compared to other gyros I've had but the total gyro was definitely filling.
Why Should You Go? It's a nice diversion from the chains in the area and it's ethnic - which (other than Chinese) is rare up here! We have already been back a couple of times. Also to note - they do have a few tables inside so you can eat-in as well but I think a great deal of their business is to-go. For nicer weather, there is a patio as well.

Cobwebs cover its furniture and its rooms are long deserted, but a crumbling house in northern Myanmar is at the center of a conservation battle by locals who say it was once home to George Orwell.
The remote trading post of Katha on the banks of the Irrawaddy — and the house lived in by Orwell in the 1920s — were immortalized in the acclaimed British author's first novel, Burmese Days.
Decades later, as the country emerges from nearly half a century of harsh military rule, a group of artists has launched a campaign to protect the legacy of one of literature's most scathing critics of dictatorship.
"I am trying to do what I can to restore all the buildings in the book and to attract attention to the country and to the town," artist and Orwell fan Nyo Ko Naing said.
The two-story house stands abandoned in an overgrown tropical garden in the remote town that lies about 250km — or a 13-hour train ride — north of Mandalay.
The campaigners want the home and nearby European country club turned into a museum, in a country where many colonial-era buildings have already fallen victim to the wrecking ball as investors flock to what they hope will be the region's next hottest economy.
A young Orwell, then known as Eric Blair, arrived in Burma — now called Myanmar — in 1922 and stayed for five years, working as a policeman in the country, which was under British rule at the time.
In the novel, Katha is called Kyauktada, but everything else is the same.
"The Tennis Court, British Club, jail, the police station and the military cemetery are in the book and really exist in the town." Nyo Ko Naing said.
The wooden and brick house has been empty for 16 years.
Some old pot plants have withered and died, and the upstairs balconies are too unstable to stand on. The empty rooms echo with Nyo Ko Naing's footsteps, which leave prints in the dust that has built up over the years.
"Orwell took many raw materials for his book Burmese Days from here," Nyo Ko Naing said. "I think this house and all the other places in Orwell's book should be turned into a museum."
Burmese Days is a scathing critique of British colonial rule, with the European characters' constant drinking and poor treatment of the Burmese a running theme.
The Burmese characters also come in for harsh criticism, with the magistrate portrayed as scheming, obese and corrupt.
Myanmar is now opening up and over the past couple of years more and more tourists have come to Katha, on the trail of Orwell.
"The country is open now. It is no longer isolated," said Oo Khinmaung Lwin, the headmaster of the local school. "I will teach my students so that they know more about George Orwell."
Although long thought to be Orwell's home, there is some doubt whether a policeman would have lived in such a grand house.
Across the road from the house lies the tennis court, and beyond that the European club.
In Burmese Days, the club is described as "the real center of the town ... the spiritual citadel, the real seat of the British power."
Today it is the offices for a local business cooperative, and the bar where the Europeans would have spent most of their time has closed.
The local Anglican church, the setting for the climax of the book, still stands and is still in use. The local priest points where the book's protagonist, John Flory, would have sat.
