(Milvus sphenurus)
Gliding slowly at low attitudes, or soaring high in the sky, the Whistling Kite is a graceful bird. It flaps with slow wing-beats and when gliding holds its wings horizontally but bowed downwards at the tip. As it flies it sometimes utters its loud whistling call but it does not twist its tail when manoeuvring.
The Whistling Kite is found throughout Australia, but it is most common in open wooded country near swamps, rivers, or the coast. Although rather sedentary, it will shift about, congregating on eruptions of prey in the inland and leaving during famines. It is also somewhat communal around large kills, but just as often forages alone.
Like other kites, it sails about searching for living or dead prey on the ground, swooping down and feeding on it there if it is too large to carry. Although adept at hunting – small mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, crustaceans and large insects – it is as much a scavenger, feeding on carrion of any sort including animals killed by traffic on roads.
Whistling Kites are opportunistic breeders, pairs sometimes courting in groups and tolerating on another's nests in the same tree. Courting birds soaring about the nest tree without spectacular aerial manoeuvres but call much from high exposed perches or in flight. Most pairs return to use the same nest – of sticks lined with fresh green leaves – year after year, or even twice in a season, adding to its bulk every time. Like other kites, the female incubates 2-3 eggs and broods while the male hunts, and passes all food to the chicks when they are young.

Highlights: Harvard Tops BU In Beanpot Consolation Game
This Weekend
Riding momentum from a 7-4 upset of No. 11/13 Boston University in the Beanpot consolation game Monday, the Harvard men's hockey team looks to gain valuable league points as it hosts Colgate and Cornell.
Game's On!
Harvard's game against Colgate will be broadcast on WBIN-TV. The Harvard-Cornell showdown be broadcast locally on WBIN-TV and nationall on Fox College Sports.
Special Guest
At the start of the Harvard-Cornell contest Saturday, the Boston Bruins' own Rene Rancourt will be singing the national anthem.
Harvard vs. Colgate Series History
Harvard holds a significant 46-22-7 edge in the all-time series with the Raiders, a series which dates back to 1961. The Crimson got off to a fast start in its tenure against Colgate, earning wins in 17 of the first 20 meetings. Recently, the Raiders have held their own, claiming a slight 4-3-1 edge in the last eight meetings between the two teams.
Nov. 17, 2012 at Starr Rink
A night after an exhilarating 4-1 win over then-No. 10 Cornell, the Crimson was unable to find the back of the net in a 1-0 shutout against Colgate. Jeremy Price was the lone goal-scorer in the game, netting the game-winner at 13:15 of the first. Harvard outshot the Raiders 25-22, but was unable to take advantage of the shots advantage, or a trio of power play opportunities.
Scouting The Raiders
Colgate has been solid in non-conference action this year, but five ECAC Hockey victories leave the Raiders on the outside of a first-round home playoff series. Four straight wins over non-conference opponents from Dec. 1-Jan. 5 bolstered the Raiders' overall record and a weekend sweep of Brown and Yale Jan. 25-26 shifted some valuable conference points Colgate's way. The Raiders are still looking for their first win in the month of February, holding an 0-2-2 mark in four contests.
Freshman forward Tylor Spink has been the story on offense for Colgate this season, as the rookie boasts the team lead in points (25) and is tied for the team lead in assists (15) with senior Robbie Bourdon. Fellow freshman Kyle Baun is the team's leading goal scorer with 11 tallies in 28 games this year. Senior defenseman Jeremy Price leads all Colgate defensemen with 5-12-17 points.
It has been a 60-40 split in goal with freshman Spencer Finney seeing the bigger chunk of playing time over junior Eric Mihalik. Finney holds solid numbers with a .917 save percentage and 2.31 goals-against average heading into the Harvard matchup.
Harvard vs. Cornell Series History
Saturday's matchup between the Crimson and Big Red will be the 141st meeting between the two teams, dating back to 1910 when Harvard earned a 5-0 win in the first ever meeting between the two teams. Harvard had great success in the early years of the rivalry, earning wins in 16 of the first 18 contests, including a string of five straight shutouts. Despite trailing in the all-time series, 61-71-8, recent history has been favorable to the Crimson with Harvard posting a 3-1-1 record in the last five matchups.
Nov. 16, 2012 at Lynah Rink
In its biggest test of the early season, Harvard faced a raucous crowd and a then-No. 10 Cornell squad in a game broadcast nationally on the NBC Sports Network.
After a back-and-forth first half to the opening period, the Crimson was able to break through 14:32 in when Alex Fallstrom put home a feed from Patrick McNally. The lead was short-lived, however, as John Knisley sniped a shot past Raphael Girard from just inside the blueline 26 seconds later to level the score. Harvard would have the last laugh in the period though, as Mike Seward deposited a shot from the slot to make it 2-1 after one period.
A hotly contested second period saw Harvard take a 3-1 lead late, when Kyle Criscuolo one-timed a goal off a Jimmy Vesey feed at the 17:43 mark. Petr Placek iced the 4-1 final with an allowed goal in the waning seconds of the contest. All four of Harvard's offensive lines generated goals in the game.
Scouting The Big Red
What started as a promising season has been dialed back considerably as the Big Red enters the weekend with a, 8-13-2 overall record and 4-10-2 conference mark, good for 11th in the ECAC standings. A pair of wins over Colorado College to start the season had the team out on the right foot, and a string of four straight wins, highlighted by a 5-1 win over Michigan at Madison Square Garden, had the Big Red flying high into the New Year. The 2013 schedule has proven to be tougher than expected, as Cornell comes into the weekend with just one win in 10 games in 2013.
Senior forward Greg Miller has been the offensive catalyst this season, entering the weekend with the team lead in points (19). Through 23 games, senior John Esposito has a team-high nine goals while sophomore defenseman Joakim Ryan leads the team with 12 assists, and all blueliners with 13 points. Junior goalie Andy Iles has played all but 10 minutes this season, and enters the weekend of action with a .906 save percentage and 2.56 goals-against average.
Last Time Out
The Crimson had its biggest offensive output of the season, taking down No. 11/13 Boston University, 7-4, in the Beanpot consolation game. Two BU goals in the first 12 minutes put the Crimson in a hole, but strikes from Dan Ford and Danny Biega allowed Harvard to close the first period in a 2-2 tie.
After the Terriers reclaimed the lead 1:38 into the second period, Harvard took over, scoring three straight to take a 5-3 lead into the second intermission. Marshall Everson netted his first at 3:19 and Luke Greiner followed with an even strength and a power-play goal. Everson tacked on another to start the third period, and Greiner completed the hat trick with a short-handed, empty-net goal with eight seconds to play in the game. Peter Traber, making his second collegiate start, racked up 43 saves in the victory.
Biega Has CLASS
Senior captain Danny Biega has been named a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award, the organization announced Wednesday. Biega is one of ten finalists for the award, and the only finalist from an ECAC Hockey institution. Biega is Harvard hockey's second-ever candidate for the award, and first since Brian McCafferty '09 was a candidate in 2009. Fans are encouraged to vote for the Senior CLASS Award either on the award website, or the Senior CLASS facebook page.
Cool Hand Luke
In his 114th game in a Harvard uniform, senior Luke Greiner netted his first collegiate hat trick against BU in the Beanpot consolation game. Greiner's previous career high for goals in a game was one, accomplished 16 times in his tenure with the Crimson.
Prior to Greiner's showing, Harvard's most recent hat trick came courtesy of David Valek, who collected three goals in an 8-2 win over Yale March 11, 2012 in the ECAC quarterfinals.
Multiple For Marshall
Marshall Everson teamed with Luke Greiner against BU to give Harvard two, two goal scorers in a single game for the first time this season. The last time Harvard accomplished the feat was in the 6-1 win over Cornell in the 2012 ECAC tournament semifinal. In that game, Everson and Alex Killorn '12 had two goals each.
Dog Owners
In two games this season against Boston University, Harvard has outscored the Terriers, 13-9, and knocked off BU twice when it has been nationally ranked. Luke Greiner recorded six points (4-2-6) in two games against Harvard's cross-town rivals, and Tommy O'Regan notched four points (1-3-4) in those games.
Goalies At The Garden
The two Beanpot games featured two of the highest save totals for Harvard goalies so far this season. Against No. 5 Boston College, Raphael Girard posted 42 saves, just six off his career high and two behind his season high of 44 (Nov. 3 vs. Yale). In the consolation game, Peter Traber turned aside 43 shots in just his second career start.
Points Aplenty
In its two games against Boston University this season, Harvard has combined for 17 points in each contest. The 17 points marks a season-high for the Crimson.
Reset The Rankings
With the win over No. 11/13 Boston University Monday, Harvard improves to 3-6-1 against ranked teams this season. All three of the wins have come on road or neutral ice.
Championship Quality
The Crimson and Big Red have combined for three NCAA titles, with Cornell capturing two and Harvard one. They rank first and third in ECAC regular-season championships (Harvard 13, Cornell 9) and first and second in league tournament crowns (Cornell 12, Harvard 8). The rivals have accounted for nine of the 22 ECAC regular-season and tournament titles awarded over the last 10 seasons. For six of those nine championships, the other rival was the runner-up.
Either Harvard or Cornell has won or shared the Ivy League crown in 38 of the league's 55 seasons, with Harvard totaling 21 titles and Cornell 19. The teams shared the honor in 1983‑84 and 1984-85.
Stockpiling Saves
Raphael Girard has played almost 90% of the minutes in goal this year, and enters the weekend with 620 saves on the season. His 42- save performance in the Beanpot semifinal against B.C. was his second-highest saves total this season, behind only a 44-save outing against Yale Nov. 3. The junior has stopped over 30 shots in four of his last six contests.
Girard is averaging 31 saves per contest, and is on pace to become just the seventh Harvard goalie to eclipse 800 saves in a single season.
A Staple In The Lineup
Senior captain Danny Biega has played in 123 games in his career, the most of any active Harvard player. He has skated in all 23 games for the Crimson this season as well. With at least eight games remaining this year, Biega has a chance to break into the all-time top-10 for games played in team history. Danny's brother Alex '10 skated in 131 career games (eighth all-time), and Danny would reach that mark if he stays healthy down the stretch. Tom Cavanagh '05 is the all-time leader in games played with 138 in his career.
Welcome To The Big Show
Former Harvard great Alex Killorn '12 was recalled to the Tampa Bay Lightning from the Syracuse Crunch last Sunday and registered his first NHL point on an assist in a 5-1 loss to the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Killorn has skated in 44 games with the Crunch this season, recording 16 goals and 38 points to go along with 32 penalty minutes. He ranks third in the AHL for rookie scoring with 38 points. Killorn ranks tied for second on the Crunch for assists with 22 and is tied for the team lead with seven power play goals. He ranks first on the Crunch and third in the AHL with 166 shots on goal this season.
Dylan Reese '07 was also recently called up to the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he will play alongside Harvard grad Craig Adams '99.
Walter Brown Watch
The Gridiron Club of Greater Boston announced last Monday that freshman forward Jimmy Vesey is a semifinalist for the 2013 Walter Brown Award, presented annually to the best United States-born college hockey player in New England. Vesey is one of 16 players to be named a semifinalist for the prestigious award and one of seven skaters from ECAC Hockey.
Dov Grumet-Morris '05 was Harvard's last Walter Brown Award winner in 2005. The Crimson's previous winners are Lane MacDonald '88-89 (1989), Scott Fusco '85-86 (1986), Mark Fusco '83 (1983), Bob McManama '73 (1972), Joe Cavanagh '71 (1971), Dave Grannis '62 (1962), Bob Cleary '58 (1957 and 1958) and Bill Cleary '56 (1955).
The Gridiron Club will announce the finalists and winner of the 61st Walter Brown Award in March, following league playoffs and before the start of NCAA Tournament play. The award will be presented to the winner at the New England College Hockey Writers' Dinner in April.
Vote For Danny
Danny Biega is on the 2013 Hobey Baker fan ballot, which college hockey fans can use to cast their vote for the 2013 Hobey Baker Award. The fan balloting portion of the award process will last from Jan. 7-March 10 and will account for one percent of the final Hobey Baker Award vote. Biega is one of 77 players on the fan ballot. More information about the process and the award can be found at www.hobeybakeraward.com.

Police are looking for three men who kicked a homeless man in the head as he slept on the steps of a Bronx church.
The 41-year-old man is in critical condition with head and brain injuries after the attack on the steps of Saint Nicholas of Tolentine Church.
The NYPD says he was sleeping there at around 11:15 p.m. Thursday when he was approached by the suspects.
U.S. & World
The Rev. Joseph Girone said a maintenance worker found blood on the steps the morning after the attack. He checked the church's surveillance video and saw the violent assault.
"It was awful, and then being in front of the church where this man was seeking some refuge and hopefully a place of peace -- these guys are doing violence," said Girone.
The suspects fled the area after attacking him. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.

In an extremely rare and cringe-worthy move, the Academy has revoked a Best Original Song nomination after accusations of improper campaigning.
The song "Alone Yet Not Alone," music by Bruce Broughton and lyric by Dennis Spiegel, was a surprise nomination for the little-seen film of the same name — beating out more likely nominees such as Taylor Swift or Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful" on "The Great Gatsby" soundtrack.
"The decision was prompted by the discovery that Broughton, a former governor and current music branch executive committee member, had emailed members of the branch to make them aware of his submission during the nominations voting period," reports Variety.
But Broughton insists he has done nothing wrong.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly after the nominations, Broughton was open with the fact that he urged the members of his branch to simply consider the song.
"What happens is that the music branch of the Academy puts all the songs on a disc and I was concerned that this song would be really easy to overlook. So, yeah, I wrote some people and said, 'Could you just take a look.' That was literally the extent of the campaigning," Broughton admitted before the current controversy. "I received in the mail songs from other films that were pressed and recorded CDs. We didn't do anything like that at all."
But that didn't stop the Academy from voting to rescind Broughton's nomination, making it one of the few times in history this has happened.
While campaigning happens all the time in the Oscars race, the Academy argued that it was unethical for Broughton to do so as an officer in the organisation.
Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs said in a statement, "No matter how well-intentioned the communication, using one's position as a former governor and current executive committee member to personally promote one's own Oscar submission creates the appearance of an unfair advantage."
Broughton has responded by saying "I'm devastated. I indulged in the simplest, lamest, grass-roots campaign and it went against me when the song started getting attention. I got taken down by competition that had months of promotion and advertising behind them."
Broughton and lyricist Dennis Spiegel are out of the running completely and a new nominee will not be added.
Instead, the category will only have four honorees this year:
1. "Happy" from Despicable Me 2 (Music and Lyric by Pharrell Williams)
2. "Let It Go" from Frozen (Music and Lyric by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez)
3. "The Moon Song" from Her (Music by Karen O; Lyric by Karen O and Spike Jonze)
4. "Ordinary Love" from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (Music by U2)
But Broughton and Spiegel aren't the only ones hurt by the Oscar exclusion, as it is also a blow to the song's quadriplegic singer, Joni Eareckson Tada.
"With limited lung capacity due to her disability, Tada, who is also an Evangelical minister, had her husband, Ken, pushing on her diaphragm while she recorded the Oscar-nominated song to give her enough breath to hit the high notes," adds Variety.

Speed limitations
The product tables typically provide two speed ratings:
- the reference speed, which is based on thermal conditions
- the limiting speed, which is based on mechanical limits
Both speed ratings are cautionary limits, rather than strict prohibiting limits, but approaching either of them signals that deeper analysis of the operating conditions is required.
For bearings with contact seals, no reference speeds are listed in the product tables. Typically, the limiting speed determines the maximum speed for these bearings.
Approximate thermal speed limit based on ISO standard conditions
The reference speed listed in the product tables is based on the SKF friction model and derived from thermal equilibrium under the ISO 15312 standardized operating and cooling conditions. Its main purpose is to provide a quick assessment of the speed capabilities of a bearing. You can also use it to estimate a thermal speed limit.
The ISO reference speed is valid for open bearings only, operating under the following conditions:
- predefined reference heat dissipation
light loads
- radial load P = 0,05 C0 for radial bearings
- axial load P = 0,02 C0 for thrust bearings
- nominal temperature increase of 50 °C (90 °F) above an ambient reference temperature of 20 °C (70 °F)
oil lubrication with mineral oil without EP additives
- ISO VG32 for radial bearings
- ISO VG68 for thrust bearings
- clean conditions
- sufficient operating clearance (→ Selecting initial internal clearance)
- horizontal shaft, rotating inner ring and stationary outer ring
The ISO standard does not provide reference conditions for sealed bearings.
The ISO standard, established for oil lubrication, is also valid for grease lubrication, provided a lithium based grease with mineral base oil having a viscosity between 100 and 200 mm²/s is used. Grease lubricated bearings may however undergo a temperature peak during initial start-up, requiring a running-in period before they reach their steady-state operating temperature.
Adjusted reference speedThe ISO reference speed is valid for a standardized set of operating conditions including standardized heat dissipation. Therefore, SKF recommends calculating the adjusted reference speed considering the actual load and lubricant viscosity in your application. Do this using the SKF Bearing Calculator. However, this reference speed adjustment does not include the data regarding the actual heat dissipation for your application, so a conservative approach to the result is recommended. To include effects from heat dissipation, a detailed thermal analysis is required.
Mechanical speed limit
The limiting speed indicated in the product tables is a maximum speed valid for the standard bearing execution that should not be exceeded unless the bearing design and the application is adapted to a higher speed.
The limiting speed can only be exploited, if the bearing is properly lubricated (→ Lubrication). When approaching the limiting speed, oil lubrication can be required.
The limiting speed can only be exploited, if the bearing is properly lubricated (→ Lubrication). When approaching the limiting speed, oil lubrication can be required.
The limiting speed is determined by:
- the form stability or strength of the cage
- lubrication of the cage guiding surfaces
- centrifugal and gyratory forces acting on the rolling elements
- other speed-limiting factors, such as seals and the lubricant for sealed bearings
NOTESome open ball bearings have very low friction, and the reference speeds listed for them might be higher than their limiting speeds. Do not use only the mechanical speed limit. Also calculate the adjusted reference speed. The lower of the two sets the speed limit.
Speeds above the reference or limiting speed
It is possible to operate a bearing at speeds above its reference speed, its adjusted reference speed, or even the limiting speed. Before doing so, first make a detailed thermal analysis, and take whatever further measures may be required, such as use of special cage executions, or consider using high precision bearings. Regarding management of the effects of increased speed, consider the following options:
- Control the resulting increase in bearing temperature by additional cooling.
- Compensate for any reduction in bearing clearance resulting from increased bearing temperature.
- Revise the housing fitting tolerance choice to ensure that the influence of increased bearing temperature does not impair the axial displaceability of non-locating bearing outer rings.
- Revise the bearing tolerance class, together with the geometrical precision of the shaft and housing seats, to ensure these are sufficient to avoid excessive vibration.
- Consider using an alternative cage execution that is suitable for higher speed operation, in particular when approaching or exceeding the limiting speed.
- Ensure that the lubricant and lubrication method used are compatible with the higher operating temperature and the cage execution.
- Check that the relubrication interval is still acceptable, particularly for grease lubricated bearings. Oil lubrication may be required.

This was the car that summed up Ferrari philosophy best: the highest levels of performance and styling. Created by a team led by Giotto Bizzarrini, it owes its lines to research carried out in a wind tunnel.
Charisma came not only from its innumerable racing victories, but from the unique sum of its parts – stunning looks, a highly competitive chassis and a thoroughbred V12 engine.
The 250 GTO model was the pinnacle of development of the 250 GT series in competition form, whilst still remaining a road car. It made its public debut at the annual pre-season Ferrari press conference in January 1962, and was the only front engine model on display, with its monoposto and sports racing counterparts all having a mid-engine configuration.Read more
This model had no tail spoiler, but one was added before its competition debut at the Sebring circuit in America in March 1962. On its maiden outing in the 12 Hour Race, driven by Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien, the 250 GTO finished second overall to a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sports racing car. It also won the GT category comfortably, an impressive debut performance upon which it would build during the next three years.
The model was built on a 2400 mm wheel base, as had been the 250 GT 'SWB' from which it was derived. Although the chassis was built along the same lines, it used smaller section tubing, with additional bracing for increased torsional rigidity, and was given factory type reference 539/62 Comp., and then 539/64 Comp. Like the earlier 250 GT 'SWB' Berlinettas, four wheel disc brakes were fitted, with a cable-operated handbrake to the rear wheels, and it was also available as both a left- and right-hand drive.
Early development of the new model was shrouded in secrecy, with Giotto Bizzarrini charged with developing a car to take on and beat the Jaguar E Type. In various interviews over the years he has said he was given an old 250 GT Boano chassis as a basis for the project. However, internal factory records show that he was provided with a 250 GT 'passo corto' (chassis 1791GT) on which to base the new car.
On its first outing at Monza in September 1961, prior to the Italian Grand Prix, the 250 GTO earned the nickname 'Il Mostro' (The Monster), due to its rough-hewn and ill fitting prototype body. During test sessions, Stirling Moss drove the car to record times far better than those ever achieved by a 250 GT 'passo corto'. A 'palace revolution' followed later in the year, and Bizzarrini found himself on the outside, with refinement of the GTO body entrusted to Sergio Scaglietti, who created its definitive shape.
The power unit was essentially a 250 Testa Rossa specification version of the Colombo single overhead camshaft per bank 3-litre V12 engine, with bore and stroke of 73 x 58.8 mm, but using dry sump lubrication, with factory type reference 168 Comp/62. The spark plugs were outside the vee of the block, and there was a bank of six twin choke Weber 38 DCN carburettors, with a twin coil and rear of engine mounted distributor ignition system, to produce a claimed 300 bhp.
The engine was coupled to a new 5-speed, all synchromesh gearbox, with an open gate gear-change tower in the cockpit, similar to that used on the sports racing models since the mid-fifties, driving through a propeller shaft to the rigid rear axle, fitted with a Watts linkage. As befitted its intended competition use, a wide range of rear axle ratios was available.
The overall shape of the aluminium bodies designed and built by Scaglietti changed very little during the production period from 1962 to 1964, apart from a one-off example bodied in the style of the 330 LM Berlinetta. The last three cars in the series received Pininfarina-designed and Scaglietti-built bodies of a style very similar to that used on the mid-engine 250 LM sports racing car. Four earlier cars were also re-bodied in the later style during 1964. Although the overall body shape didn't alter to any great degree, the detail differences during the production run certainly did.
The early cars in the series had a small elliptical radiator opening, bounded by rectangular driving lights, initially with brake cooling ducts under the nose, which then changed to vertical brake cooling slots in the nose alongside the driving lights, with the sidelights mounted below the Plexiglass shrouded headlights. The rear spoiler was bolted to the tail panel, and there were cabin exhaust air slots in the sail panels. The brake cooling ducts soon became circular, and the side lights moved to a semi-recessed location in the wing sides; a little while after these modifications the tail spoiler, still of the same profile, became an integral, riveted part of the body construction.
All of the examples produced, apart from the '64-bodied cars, had three removable 'D'-shaped panels, retained by quarter turn fasteners, on the upper face of the nose, for increased radiator air throughput, the pattern being repeated with three similar uncovered openings in the underside of the nose panel. The '64-bodied cars and re-bodies again have detail differences between individual cars, but these relate more to the roof shape, which was either long, short with integral spoiler, or short without spoiler and the bonnet, which either had a long slim bulge tapering into the nose panel or a cold air intake. A number of cars were modified during their competition careers, notably with the addition of a third front wing exhaust air slot, and occasionally louvres were added to the bonnet to aid heat dissipation. Apart from these main points, there were numerous individual differences between the various cars, i.e. some had the rear lights mounted on raised 'bridges', while others had them fixed directly to the tail panel.
The 250 GTO Berlinettas continued the run of successes of the preceding 'passo lungo' and 'passo corto' models, and with the manufacturers' championship being transferred to the GT category from 1962, gave Ferrari a hat trick of victories between 1962 and 1964. They were virtually dominant in their class, and were only being caught by the AC Cobras (with much larger capacity V8 engines) during their last competitive year. Amongst the numerous international successes of the 250 GTO were wins in the Tour de France in 1963 and 1964; GT class wins in the Targa Florio in 1962, 1963 and 1964; victories in the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood in 1962 and 1963; with GT category wins at Le Mans in 1962 and 1963, and in the Nurburgring 1000 km in 1963 and 1964.
The 250 GTO was the ultimate expression of the Ferrari 250 GT car. It was equally at home on the road or track – perhaps the last dual purpose road/race car produced – and has achieved legendary status amongst aficionados of the marque. With only a relatively small production run of thirty-six cars, and with many of the examples produced having a great race pedigree, it has become one of the icons of Ferrari production history, with a revered position in collector's circles.

VETERAN CREW CHIEF PICKS BROWNSBURG FOR NEW NHRA TOP FUEL TEAM BROWNSBURG, Ind. (Dec. 18, 2008) -- Veteran NHRA Top Fuel crew chief Alan Johnson announced today that Alan Johnson Al-Anabi Motorsports will locate its team headquarters in ...
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (Dec. 18, 2008) -- Veteran NHRA Top Fuel crew chief Alan Johnson announced today that Alan Johnson Al-Anabi Motorsports will locate its team headquarters in Brownsburg, Ind. creating more than 40 new jobs in the next three years.
Johnson's current company, Alan Johnson Racing has partnered with Qatar-based Al-Anabi Racing to form Alan Johnson Racing Al-Anabi Racing, a two-car team that will invest more than $6.2 million to site its new operations in the suburban Indianapolis town's Pace Motorsports Complex.
The team will field a Top Fuel Dragster and a Funny Car, both of which will debut when the 2009 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series begins in February, 2009. Del Worsham, a 22-time NHRA winner, has been named the team's Funny Car driver; the Top Fuel driver has not yet been selected.
"Motorsports has a rich history and a bright future in Indiana," said Governor Mitch Daniels. "We'll continue to encourage Motorsports companies from across the country and around the globe to locate and expand here as we build Indiana's reputation as the Motorsports capital of the world."
Johnson, who led Tony Schumacher's U.S. Army team to five consecutive NHRA Top Fuel championships as its crew chief, has already begun hiring crew members, managers, office staff and hospitality associates in preparation for Alan Johnson Al-Anabi Racing's inaugural season. Motorsports veteran Chad Head has been named the team's Director of Racing Operations.
"Brownsburg is quickly becoming the place for NHRA teams," Johnson said. "Although the sport's roots will always be in Southern California, with so many teams locating in central Indiana, the area is really becoming the center of the sport. We are in the process of building championship caliber teams to compete for the NHRA Full Throttle Top Fuel and Funny Car championships.
"A state-of-the-art shop and a deep talent pool of Motorsports mechanics and engineers located in Brownsburg will be major parts of those efforts. We are very grateful to the State of Indiana, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and the city of Brownsburg for their efforts in helping us make the decision to build our shop in Brownsburg. We look forward to being in Brownsburg for many years."
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Alan Johnson Racing up to $300,000 in performance-based tax credits based on the company's job-creation plans. The town of Brownsburg will provide the company with property tax abatement.
"Alan Johnson joins a list of fellow Motorsports legends such as David Powers, Kasey Kahne and Tony Stewart who have found Brownsburg to be among the best places to locate their high-tech racing teams," said Jim Waggoner, Brownsburg town manager. "We welcome Alan and his team and look forward to bringing more of the industry's top teams to Central Indiana."
Alan Johnson Al-Anabi Racing joins the growing list of Motorsports teams locating in Brownsburg, a town National DRAGSTER magazine called the 'Drag Racing Capital of the World.' Kenny Bernstein Racing brought its Top Fuel dragster and Funny Car teams to the town in 2007, as did Pedregon Brothers Racing, 360 Brakes, Schumacher Racing, Vance and Hines Motorsports, Indy Performance Composites, Beck Motorsports, Morgan Lucas Racing, Larry Dixon, Gotham City Racing (Mike Ashley) and Snake Racing. Kasey Kahne Racing and Tony Stewart Racing have also selected Brownsburg as their home for their USAC and world of outlaw teams.
The announcement of Alan Johnson Al-Anabi Racing locating in Brownsburg comes nearly four months after the racing veteran announced his plans to step down as crew chief from Don Schumacher Racing and start his new team.

Authors: George Rajna
Researchers at the University of Melbourne have developed a way to radically miniaturise a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine using atomic-scale quantum computer technology. [12] With one in two Australian children reported to have tooth decay in their permanent teeth by age 12, researchers from the University of Sydney believe they have identified some nanoscale elements that govern the behaviour of our teeth. [11] When cryoEM images are obtained from protein nanocrystals the images themselves can appear to be devoid of any contrast. A group of scientists from the Netherlands have now demonstrated that lattice information can be revealed and enhanced by a specialized filter. [10] There is also connection between statistical physics and evolutionary biology, since the arrow of time is working in the biological evolution also. From the standpoint of physics, there is one essential difference between living things and inanimate clumps of carbon atoms: The former tend to be much better at capturing energy from their environment and dissipating that energy as heat. [8] This paper contains the review of quantum entanglement investigations in living systems, and in the quantum mechanically modeled photoactive prebiotic kernel systems. [7] The human body is a constant flux of thousands of chemical/biological interactions and processes connecting molecules, cells, organs, and fluids, throughout the brain, body, and nervous system. Up until recently it was thought that all these interactions operated in a linear sequence, passing on information much like a runner passing the baton to the next runner. However, the latest findings in quantum biology and biophysics have discovered that there is in fact a tremendous degree of coherence within all living systems. The accelerating electrons explain not only the Maxwell Equations and the Special Relativity, but the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation, the Wave-Particle Duality and the electron's spin also, building the Bridge between the Classical and Quantum Theories. The Planck Distribution Law of the electromagnetic oscillators explains the electron/proton mass rate and the Weak and Strong Interactions by the diffraction patterns. The Weak Interaction changes the diffraction patterns by moving the electric charge from one side to the other side of the diffraction pattern, which violates the CP and Time reversal symmetry. The diffraction patterns and the locality of the self-maintaining electromagnetic potential explains also the Quantum Entanglement, giving it as a natural part of the Relativistic Quantum Theory and making possible to understand the Quantum Biology.

Rays Win Last Gameof the Season in 11th Inning
I was glad to see that Rays Manager Joe Maddon let Bullpen Catcher Scott Cursi take out the lineup card today before the game. I have known Scott now for about 8 years and I know of no one else in the organization who has done more and wished more for every pitcher who has graced the mound at the Trop. From the late Joe Kennedy and Cory Lidle, to David Price and Mitch Talbot, Cursi has warmed them all up and made sure they were up to the task of pitching for the Rays.
He is one of the unsung heros of that Bullpen that most fans would never know die to his low key demeanor and style. But he ia also a viable reason alot of these guys feel so calm and secure going out to the mound. He is the silent Bullpen Coach. And the honor today was fitting for one of the Rays hardest workers over the last 10 years.
I am saddened to know that after today's game, Detroit Tigers' Pitching Coach Chuck Hernandez was let go by the team. Hernandez was with the Rays in the minor league system before finally coming up tho the major league level and leading the team in t lean years. He was here in the infant days of Scott Kazmir, and as a leftie, he could illustrate and teach Kazmir about the tough job of a lefty in today's game. I know who ever get this great coach next season will see how fast this guy can fine tune and turn a Bullpen into a winner.
I also want to alert fans of an upcoming video to be shown in the Rays Playoff games. The video will be members of Maddon's Maniacs, that group that first brought the cowbell into a cult status at the Trop. You might know them more by their bright yellow shirts with the screaming baseball that looks like Rays Manager, Jow Maddon. This group was formed several years ago to act as a cheering conglomerate in their sections of the stadium. So look for the video on the Jumbotron during the Playoff games, and Go Rays!!!!!!!
James Shields
It was just a formality that Rays starter James Shields even hit the mound today. The Rays were using the start as a stretching out period to get Shields some work before he starts the Rays first Playoff game in the Trop. next Thursday. Shields came out and threw 10 pitches in his 1 inning of work and got the Tigers to go down 1-2-3. All 3 outs were on ground balls and were alternated between the 3 infield positions.
Mitch Talbot
Talbot is in the mix as one of the guys the Rays were going to discuss before deciding if he was to be on the team's first ALDS 25-man roster. After today's performance, I have a feeling that the young rightie will have thrown his last pitch this season for the Rays. It has been a wild season for Talbot, first brought up for 48 hours before heading again for the Triple-A Durham Bulls. In today's relief appearance, he never looked calm or in control on the mound.
Talbot had an eventless 2nd inning as the Tigers went again down 1-2-3. But in the 3rd inning, the tide began to turn for the young pitcher. Brandon Inge hit a smoker down the leftfield line into the corner and ended up with a double, with no outs in the inning. Inge moved to 3rd on a Wild Pitch by Talbot. Ramon Santiago then walked to put men on the corners for the Tigers. Curtis Granderson then took a 2-1 count the deposited the ball into the leftfield stands for a 3-run homer, and put the Tigers up 3-0.
In the 4th inning, Talbot had a few control issues and gave up 5 walks in the inning. Edgar Renteria singled to right to lead off . After Dusty Ryan flied out to center, Inge, Santiago,Granderson ans Gary Sheffield all walked to scored 2 runs in the inning. With those runs crossing the board, Talbot was done for the day. In his 2.1 innings of work, Talbot gave up 5-runs on 5-hits, and gave up 5 walks on 71 pitches for the Rays.
Rays Bullpen
The Rays Bullpen then combined to post 4.2 innings of scoreless work lead by Rookie David Price going the first 1.2 innings and striking out 2 batters. After Price, Dan Wheeler came on for 1 inning and posted 2 strikeouts and 2 walks in his time on the mound. With today's appearance, Wheeler now has 4 straight years of at least 70 appearances in a game. His 26 holds is tops on the Rays, and 4 short of the AL lead held by the Angels' Scott Shields.
Then Troy Percival came on and got a hitless inning to boost his chances of being added to the post season roster. Percival has been on notice that Maddon wanted to see a effort and control during his last appearance this season. In his last 8 appearances, Percival has not been too impressive, he has given up 7-hits and 9-runs in 5.1 innings of work. Opponent's are hitting only .188 against him this year, good enough for 7th in the AL. Trever Miller then came on in the 8th inning and pitched another scoreless frame for the Rays.
Edwin Jackson
Then in the 9th inning, Maddon inserted usual Rays starter Edwin Jackson to close out the game for the team. Jackson started the 9th by throwing some hard stuff around 96 M.P.H. plus against the Tigers. But Sheffield ended up hitting a single into rightfield to lead off the inning for the Tigers. Magglio Ordonez then hit a 2-run homer on a 2-2 pitch to left to tie the game at 7-7 and send the game into extra innings. Jackson ended up pitching 2 innigs and gave up 4-hits and 2-runs, while throwing 43 pitches. The homer gave Jackson his first blown save of the year.
Powerful 5th inning
In the end, Jackson ended up winning the game when the Rays won the game in the 11th inning. With the win, Jackson joined fellow starters former Rays Rolando Arroyo and James Shields as the only Rays starters to win 14 games in a season. The win was Jackson's second in the week and puts him at 14-12 for the season. This is a massive improvement over the 5-15 he posted last season.
In the first 4 innings of today's game, the Rays went down in order and did not seem to have the offensive firepower today. But in the 5th inning, the Rays began to attack Tigers starter Zack Miner. Rocco Baldelli hit a leadoff homer 423 feet to centerfield to put the Rays finally on the board. Willy Aybar the hit a double into the leftfield corner to put another Rays into scoring position. After 1 quick outs, Eric Hinske hit a 2-run shot to rightfield 402 feet over the scoreboard to bring the Rays to within 2 runs, 6-4.
Big 8th Inning Rally
In the 8th inning, the Rays sent 9 men to the plate and scored 4 runs to Rays up 7-5 in the game. The inning began with John Jason hitting a ball throught the hole between short and thrid for a single. Then Dan Johnson hit a liner about 15 feet off the ground to put 2 rays on base with no outs. Fernando Perez then walked on 8 pitches to load the bases for the Rays. Jonny Gomes then hit a ball that went over centerfielder Curtis Granderson's head and over the wall for a Ground Rule Double.
Gomes got 2 RBI's on the play. Aybar then walked after Baldelli struck out to give the Rays a man on with 1 out. Ben Zobrist then hit a grounder to right to score Perez and move Gomes to third base and Aybar to second base and Zobrist to first to load the bases again for the Rays. Ruggiano then struck out, and Hinske walked to score Gome and leave the bases loaded for Jaso. Jaso was till at the plate when Aybar was called out on a runner's choice for the 3rd out of the inning. But the score was now 7-5 Rays.
In the 10th inning, with the scored tied, Gomes tried to turn his single into a double and was tagged out at second for the 1st out in the inning. The play was a bit too aggressive, but Gomes could have gotten the base if he slide to the infield side of the bag. Aybar hit a screwamer into foul territory down the rightfield line that Mike Joyce caught for the third out.
Ben Zobrist
For the game, Zobrist went 2-5 with 2 RBI's and a run scored for the team. But it was his solo homer in the 11th inning that sealed the win for the Rays. Zobrist has now hit 4 homers in 4 games against the Tigers this weekend. In hitting his 12th homer of the season, Zobrist is showing a new power aspect to his game that was not there last season for the Rays. His 12 homers this season have come in only 198 at bats for the Rays.
ALDS Opponent
The Rays might not know their opponent in the ALDS until maybe Tuesday because of the make-up game tomorrow between the DEtroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox have to win that contest to advance into a one-game playoff for the AL Central division title against the Minnesota Twins.
If the White Sox do lose tomorrow, the Minnesota Twins will be the Rays opponent when they start the divisional series on Thursday at Tropicana Field. If the White Sox win both contests, they will represent the AL Central in St. Petersburg, Florida.
For some reason I have a mental block some night and get Ben Zobrist's name wrong. I want to send a apology through my blog that it is not intentional, and I love your mohawk a bit more than Trever Millers'. Zobrist has been on fire lately, and I have smoldered a bit by messing up his name. I am sorry Ben, and I will try and not let it happen again.

Go RAYS!
Anyway, its Ben Zobrist, not Zorbrist. And wow, he really surprised me with the power this season.
Thanks, by the time you read this it will be corrected. I actually write so fast sometimes I do not even try and spellcheck it all…………….it would take me a week. You got to love a guy who hit his first big homer in Toronto to begin the second half of the season, then hit a few monsters against the Marlins before going back to the minors. Then he comes up and shows the Rays he has power and is a clutch performer……………….I have a feeling he will not need to find an apartment next year in Durham.

Thousands of giant snails causing problems for Florida homeowners
South Florida residents are being warned to be on the lookout for one of the world's most destructive invasive species: the giant African land snail, which can grow as big as a rat.
The huge mollusks were first spotted in Florida in 2011, and their numbers are growing, Reuters reports. More than 1,000 are being caught each week in Miami-Dade County and more will continue to emerge from hibernation in the coming weeks.
The snails can gnaw through stucco and plastic, and attack "over 500 known species of plants ... pretty much anything that's in their path and green," Denise Feiber, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, told Reuters.
In some Caribbean countries, such as Barbados, which are overrun with the creatures, the snails' shells blow out tires on the highway and turn into hurling projectiles from lawnmower blades, while their slime and excrement coat walls and pavement.
"It becomes a slick mess," Feiber said
A typical snail can produce about 1,200 eggs a year and the creatures are a particular pest in homes because of their fondness for stucco, devoured for the calcium content they need for their shells.
The snails also carry a parasitic rat lungworm that can cause illness in humans, including a form of meningitis, Feiber said, although no such cases have yet been identified in the United States.
Experts gathered last week in Gainesville, Florida, for a Giant African Land Snail Science Symposium, to seek the best ways to eradicate the mollusks, including use of a stronger bait approved recently by the federal government.
Authorities are also expanding a series of ads across the state on buses, billboards and movie theaters, urging the public to be on the lookout.
"They're huge, they move around, they look like they're looking at you ... communicating with you, and people enjoy them for that," Feiber said. "But they don't realize the devastation they can create if they are released into the environment where they don't have any natural enemies and they thrive."

Troparion — Tone 3
With garlands and songs let us adorn the seven martyrs, / Thyrsus, Philemon, and steadfast Apolonius, / Arianus, Callinicus, Apollonia and glorious Leucius, / For they destroyed the enemy and are pillars of godliness. / Together they shine on all the world with rays of heavenly grace!

Lyrics:First verseSome folks laugh and some folks grumble, Some folks walk and some folks stumble, What's life but a day dream after all? When you're young the world's a garden, Ev'ry girl's a Dolly Varden, Even Paradise they tell us had a wall; You may have friends that adore you, When you're broke they'll all ignore you, Those that shake your hand will sometimes shake their head; Why, a dollar has no value till the last one says, ""Old pal you, Come along and I will stake you to a bed."" ChorusMy, what a funny little world this is, In it money is the one best bet! When you're rich friends will surround you, When you're poor, they'll only hound you If you owe them just a measly dollar debt! Don't ever tell your pal a hard luck story, He'll turn around and tell you one of his; Chums will cry "Hey! don't take water!" Still they'd not lend you a quarter; My what a funny little world this is! My, what a funny little world this is, Money makes the wise guy and the jay! If you save it you're a miser, If you spend it you'll get wiser, You're a gentleman if you can pay your way! A pal is one that's with you when you're wealthy, A poor man cannot be a friend of his, When you're feeling blue just shake it Life is only what you make it; My what a funny little world this is!
Second verseSome folks say work brings enjoyment, When you try to find employment Seems that ev'ry door is nailed up tight; Then you worry and look solemn and you scan the long "want" column, And to cap it all your board bill's due that night! There's no invite now to suppers Just because you're on your uppers And you tell yourself "When I get on my feet, No more parties and theatres, No more dollar tips to waiters, I'll save them all and know just when I'll eat."

While the NFL in 2010 banned the sale of photos depicting plays that resulted in discipline, that same restriction doesn't apply to the aftermath of said plays, as this image is available for purchase from the NFL in a variety of sizes and framing options.
That would be Browns quarterback Colt McCoy in the moments following a hit last week that left him dazed and suffering memory loss while earning the Steelers' James Harrison a one-game suspension.
Update [12:46 p.m.]: The NFL has removed the picture.

Press Releases
New Carl's Jr. and Hardee's Commercial Features $6,000 Combo Meal Available Exclusively at the Palms
Oct 16, 2006
Casino Owners the Maloof Brothers Nosh on The Six Dollar Burger™ in New Ad Spot
CARPINTERIA, Calif., Oct. 16 -- Sister hamburger chains Carl's Jr. and Hardee's (CKE Restaurants, Inc.; NYSE: CKR) go all out when it comes to serving juicy, delicious hamburgers to young, hungry guys, and their latest commercial promises a major pay-off as well: The $6,000 Combo Meal offered exclusively at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
The 30-second spot -- shot over one day at the Mint High Limit Lounge inside the Palms Casino Resort -- features no ordinary band of brothers enjoying no ordinary hamburger. Joe, Gavin, George Jr. and Phil Maloof have made a name for themselves as the savvy owners of the NBA's Sacramento Kings and Sin City hotspot Palms Casino Resort, the new site of the Playboy Club. Having a net worth of $1 billion means they can enjoy the finer things in life, and the commercial shows just that: good company, good wine, and delicious burgers from Carl's Jr. and Hardee's.
It turns out that a 24-year-old bottle of French Bordeaux pairs nicely with Angus beef, fresh produce, melted American cheese and a fresh, sesame seed bun. The Carl's Jr. and Hardee's signature Six Dollar Burger now makes its debut on the Palms room service menu with French fries and a $6,000 bottle of Bordeaux. It's burgers, Palms-style, with The $6,000 Combo Meal.
"This all actually came about when Joe, Gavin and I met last season at a Sacramento Kings game and hit it off -- they have a Carl's Jr. around the corner from their house and can't get enough of the Six Dollar Burger. They told me they were huge fans, and I said the same," says Andrew F. Puzder, president and CEO of CKE Restaurants, Inc. "I figured they'd be perfect in a commercial -- they live the life every young, hungry guy wants to live -- they're successful, wealthy, own a basketball team, a casino and have fun doing it. Best of all, they love the Six Dollar Burger!"
Joe Maloof, president of Maloof Sports & Entertainment, agrees: "We love the Six Dollar Burger, and we love the commercials that have come out for Carl's Jr. and Hardee's over the years. And now we're part of one! It's a dream come true, and shooting the commercial was as fun as it looks."
This commercial starring the Maloof brothers was created by advertising agency of record Mendelsohn/Zien, mastermind behind iconic ads for the brands such as the Paris Hilton "That's Hot" spot and the "If it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face" Carl's Jr. campaign from the mid- 90's. The spot will be airing in Carl's Jr. and Hardee's markets Monday, Oct. 16.
(Media note: B-roll from the Maloof brothers ad shoot will be available via satellite at two separate time intervals. Satellite coordinates and times are listed at the bottom of this press release. Photos are also available for media use.)
This year, Carl's Jr. celebrates 65 years in the quick-service industry. What began as a lone hot dog cart in Los Angeles, Calif. in 1941 is today an international organization that employs nearly 30,000 people worldwide. Carl's Jr. and Hardee's Food Systems, Inc. are wholly owned subsidiaries of CKE Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE: CKR) of Carpinteria, Calif. As of the second fiscal quarter ended Aug. 14, 2006, CKE Restaurants, Inc., through its subsidiaries, had a total of 3,131 franchised or company-owned restaurants in 43 states and in 13 countries, including 1,072 Carl's Jr. restaurants, 1,945 Hardee's restaurants and 98 La Salsa Fresh Mexican Grill® restaurants.

Painting by my student Hilary Onyon- Acrylic
I'm excited to join my students this Friday as we unveil our paintings during the Provo Gallery stroll. As I mentioned previously here, my Illustration 4 class at BYU has been creating paintings for a Provo Tabernacle themed show. All the paintings will be available or sale, so come have a snack, say "Hi" and support the artists.
Painting by Chase Jensen
Painting by Colt Bowden
I'm really pleased with the results of all the students efforts and wanted to give a sneak peek and a shout out to everyone to join us this Friday night from 6:00- 9:00 pm. Here are a few of the standout pieces (at least the ones I that were finished last week when I shot photos).
Painting by Mellisa Crowton
Our show will be featured at Window Box Gallery which is located at 62 West Center Street in Provo, Utah. If you go, be aware that the Center Street freeway exits from I-15 are closed due to reconstruction. Follow the appropriate detours and you will get there just fine.

Trying to scare up foot-traffic for Laguna Beach's merchants, the town's Chamber of Commerce tapped the creative juices of its members to devise its first ever Scarecrow Fest.
Scarecrows of varying size and scariness have already sprouted from rooftops and fence posts around town. Inspired by a visit to the city of Solvang, the contest is intended to celebrate Halloween and the decor that accompanies the kid-pleasing holiday, said the chamber's executive director, Kristine Thalman.
Residents and visitors alike can cast ballots for the best scarecrow in several categories, ranging from "most artistic" to "best use of natural materials." Ballots, available at 22 participating merchants, runs through Oct. 25. Winners will receive either a cash prize, free advertising or an opportunity to showcase their winning scarecrow at Hospitality night!

Under the customize theme settings, "none" is selected by default, yet it still plays the sound. Tried other themes with the same result. Is there a way to manually remove the sound? Thanks in advance.

|The Helm POTCO's Testers Discussion Forum

Test Has Been Shut Down
I learned of it this morning, Mates.
If you try to log in, it will accept your access and proceed to load but shortly thereafter it will crash. Then it will open a Bug Report.
The link to download Test has the message as well with Play grayed out.
All we have is Live. Take as many screenshots of your last journey with your pirates. When our memories fade, those screens will remind of us of once was.
Yeah, I also saw that Test was down. It's a shame, too, because my War Frigate, the Shadow Cobra, was actually a Fortune Hunter, unlike on Live.
I'll have to strive for getting the Live version to Fortune Hunter.
Oddly, our last act of Testing is just that: Launching a closed game.
Still cold how they didn't allow it to stay open for a few days after the dreaded announcement of yesterday. They just ended it immediately. Where's the love? None there I reckon. The disdain is evident for us to see.
Only last week, Tuesday, August 13th, at 10 PM EST, my second Test Pirate, Billy Warmonger, finally defeated El Patron all by himself at Notoriety 31. No crew bonus, no glitching, no hacking, no alt nearby or at all in game. You get the picture. Just that dude versus my pirate. Oh yeah he summoned his buddies too. My pirate fell once but came back from jail to defeat him for good.
Its something I discovered on Test last year with my first Test Pirate. I told my closest friends but did not demonstrate how I did it. I suspected that somehow that knowledge would leak and every player will then do it. And that happened last year on October 30th. I had just reported someone for using God-mode and there I was wanting to prove something to myself. My first Test Pirate, Davy Darkwalker, succeeded on his first attempt. And to cap it off, it happened on the eve of POTCO's birthday.
I have those screenshots. My Bro even tested it out and succeeded as well. Those were the moments that made the game extra special. Not all of them were captured as screenshots. This game is a virtual relic. A world that once was. Take those screens like a tourist. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Betaworks Takes Over News-Saving App Instapaper
Betaworks has bought Instapaper, the read-it-later service built and run by Marco Arment. The widely read developer said on his blog today that he wanted to focus on other projects, and Betaworks — which is also in the midst of revamping Digg — would give Instapaper the staff and attention it deserved. While Instapaper had sustained itself as a paid app, competitor Pocket already took the company-building route and raised $7.5 million over two rounds.

What Are Senior Apartments?
Senior apartments are low-maintenance apartments designed for older adults who are totally independent, but want to live in a home that requires little upkeep and is designed for easy living. Senior apartment communities may or may not have minimum age restrictions, and are open to the general public. Senior apartment communities typically offer social activities and amenities that cater to seniors.
For age-restricted or age-qualified communities usually require that at least one person in each residence meets the minimum age requirement, usually age 55 or 62. In these communities, those under age 19 cannot usually be permanent residents, with exceptions made for handicapped persons.
Senior apartment living, as described on this page, is not the same as independent living, although independent living communities usually offer apartments as a housing option.
What Does a Senior Apartment Community Look Like?
Senior apartments are not only low-maintenance, but are often very luxurious, and designed for ease of living. They typically have one to two bedrooms, and can vary in size from small to over 2,000 square feet.
You will typically get all the comforts you'd expect in a home, plus community extras like swimming pools, tennis courts, fitness or recreation centers, and more. They can be in one-story or multi-story building, some which feature creatively designed spaces that encourage residents to interact.
These apartments are often located near shopping centers, hospitals and public transportation so that the things you need are nearby. Like apartments in independent living communities, senior apartment communities typically have features built into the design of the apartments and buildings that are senior-friendly such as:
- Handicap accessibility
- Emergency alert systems
- First floor access to elevators
As with any apartment, you can come and go as you wish, and be as active as you'd like in the surrounding neighborhood and beyond.
What's it Like to Live in a Senior Apartment?
You'll have the same freedom in a senior apartment as you would have in any private home. There are no restrictions on when you come and go. And if the community has restrictions to persons around your age, you'll be surrounded by people with whom you might find things in common.
Depending on your own personal preference, you may or may not want to live in a community that only includes those of a certain age.
If you choose a community that offers social programs, you'll also find lots of things to do to keep you busy.
Is a Senior Apartment Right for Me?
Consider these statements below to determine if they describe you:
- I am still relatively healthy.
- I like having my own living space.
- I like being independent.
- I am willing to move to a smaller home, or am unable to stay in my current home.
- I prefer to live on my own, or do not have a relative or friend with whom I can live.
- I sometimes feel isolated in my home.
- I like being around and doing things with people my age.
Daily Living
- I need help getting in and out of the bathtub or taking a bath or shower.
- I need help getting dressed.
- I need assistance with personal grooming.
- I get my medicines mixed up or can't remember when to take them.
- I can no longer cook or need help preparing meals.
- I can no longer drive or can only drive very short distances.
- I do not have family or friends nearby if I need help with daily tasks.
- If all or most of the Independence statements apply to you, then a senior apartment may be a good option for you, as long as you are not interested in staying in the same community when you need more care. If this is a concern for you, then you might also want to consider these options:
- If most or all of the above Independence and Daily Living statements apply to you, and you do not need regular nursing or medical care, then consider these options:
- If most or all of the above Independence and Daily Living statements apply to you, and you also need regular nursing or medical care, then consider these options:
- Skilled nursing care if you can't stay in your home
- Medical home health care if you want to stay in your home
What to Expect from Senior Apartment Living?
You can expect a fairly carefree lifestyle when living in a senior apartment. It's much like living in any other apartment community, with the added benefit of having some special features built in for seniors. You'll be completely independent, but you won't have to worry about home or lawn maintenance.
Senior apartments make it easy for you to nurture your relationships with family and friends, while giving you opportunities to make new ones.
You'll have many chances to socialize with people in your age range, as these communities feature areas where residents can get together. They may also offer organized activities such as:
- Golf, swimming and other fitness activities
- Bridge and other games
- Trips and outings
- Classes and opportunities to learn new things
Many senior apartment communities also allow pets.
Monthly fees in senior apartment communities often include services like utilities and security, in addition to home maintenance.
The rent for senior apartments is typically in line with local rates for other apartment homes, rental condominiums and townhomes in the area where you are looking. However, rent costs may vary greatly based on the amenities and activities that are included. And as with any home, costs will vary depending on factors such as:
- Location of the apartment community
- Location of the apartment within the community
- Size and layout of the apartment
