Through the first six installments of our project series, we've covered project planning, chassis and suspension, engine, drivetrain, brakes, installing C5 seats in a midyear, engine electronics, exhaust, fuel systems, and the exterior features of the body. In this installment, we'll feature the engine-compartment modifications, and cold-air intake and cooling systems.
We've tried to cover each subject in enough detail to give you a good idea of what's involved, the sources we used, and the reasons for our approach. At the very least, we hope it will stimulate some ideas and save you time, but the fun of these projects is coming up with your own ideas to build a car reflecting your personal taste and achieving your own objectives. Since each project is unique, and you'll have your own ideas on the approach to take and components to use, we'll just describe the approach we've taken and what has worked for us.
To complement the work on the engine, we went to some lengths to enhance the appearance of the engine compartment. The major changes to the body involved reworking the firewall, inner fender panels, and hood (which were done at the Corvette Center in Newington, Connecticut), and the design of the cooling and air-intake systems.
Engine Compartment Firewall
The firewall was smoothed and all unnecessary holes filled. One particular aspect we wanted to change was the wiper-motor area. A new filler piece was made on the driver side of the wiper-motor opening, which mirrored the shape on the passenger side to make a uniform opening. An access door was then made to fit the new wiper-motor opening, which fits flush with the firewall and is held in place by two tabs. To gain enough clearance, the windshield-washer assembly was removed (a new cover plate was made to enclose the motor), and we also had to modify the four wiper-motor mounts to recess the motor another 1/4 inch to make the cover fit flush with the firewall.
We also wanted to hide the hood latch cable as much as possible, and we ran the cable (using a lawnmower throttle cable) along the inside of the firewall. (See photos 1, wiper recess; 2, finished wiper door opening and firewall in primer; and 3, painted firewall.) In photo 3 you can see the two-tone paint scheme of our red and Quicksilver and how the transmission tunnel was modified. Since the frame is red, we wanted to have more contrast against the underside of the body, and the silver really helps to distinguish the frame.
Additional changes to the firewall included fitting a parking-brake setup from the '64 Corvette (the '64 style fits much closer to the firewall), mounting the hydraulic-clutch master cylinder and reservoir, installing a bulkhead (from Vintage Air) for the A/C and heater lines, and mounting the Engine Control Unit.
Inner Fenders
In addition to smoothing the inner fenders and making clearance for the C5 upper control arms, three other major changes were made. The first was to install a battery-access door (from an A/C car) in the driver-side fenderwell. Moving the battery to that side was necessary because we relocated the dry sump tank on the passenger side. As a side benefit, this also helped gain easier access when installing components such as the ECU, the brake system, and the hydraulic clutch. (See photo 4, battery access door.) The second was to extend the inner fender panels by making new covers to enclose the upper control arms in lieu of using rubber dust shields. (See photo 5, control-arm cover.) The third was to make a hidden tunnel for the wiring that normally runs along the inside of the driver's fenderwell. The "conduit" runs along the underside of the fender peak and works well to enclose all the wiring. We used a length of fiberglass panel and glassed it in place. From the underside, you can't tell it's there, so we don't have a good picture of that.
Changes to the underside of the hood included filling, smoothing, and radiusing each seam and joint; making a recess to clear the dry sump tank; installing detachable hood hinges from American Freedom Products; and using a gas strut for the hood support, which was sent to us by a friend from Australia. The hood strut is from a BMW which was just the right length. We used the stock upper and lower brackets from an original hood support and mounted them in the stock locations on the hood and fenderwell. We were surprised at how well it worked. The hood latches were smoothed and chromed. The main advantage of the quick-disconnect hinges is in allowing you to remove the hood without removing the hinge bolts so you don't have to realign the hood again. (See photo 6, hood hinges; photo 7, hood underside; and photo 8, hydraulic hood support.)
Cooling System
The folks from the Pro-Fab shop of Be Cool (Marks 7 Machine) constructed the radiator, radiator mount, A/C condenser, and expansion tanks from our designs. Their work was outstanding, and everything fit perfectly. The radiator has both the upper and lower inlet/outlet on the passenger side to gain more space in the center of the engine to allow room for the cold-air intake system. Braided stainless hoses and AN fittings were used throughout. The upper and lower radiator hoses were found by searching through the hoses in our local NAPA parts store. It may seem unusual, but the upper hose is from a Ford pickup (PN 8779), and the lower hose from a Pontiac V-6 (PN 9050). To match the other braided hoses, we used 1 1/4-inch braided Spectre hose covering which was tough to install but worked well. The thermostat housing is a 35-degree angled swivel unit from Street & Performance, and the hose ends are also from Street & Performance. (See photo 9, radiator/upper mount; photo 10, expansion tank; and photo 11, upper radiator hose.)
Twin Spal fans mounted to a shroud were used along with a Spal electronic control system, which allows you to set the temperatures for the fans to turn on and off. This shroud has rubber flaps which open at driving speeds to allow more air through the radiator. (See photo 12, fans/shroud.)
Cold-Air Intake
This was a tough one. We laid out several approaches which would gain access to cooler outside air and find the best route. The main considerations were how well the intake could be integrated into the body as well as the best route to take to get to the engine. Other factors were the type of ductwork that could be made, and how we could make the connection to the throttle body and incorporate the mass airflow and incoming air-temperature sensors. Space is at a premium when you're looking for a route that passes through the chassis, under the radiator and steering rack, and squeezes between the steering rack and the engine damper. The approach we used begins with a scoop which was molded into the front valance. The scoop incorporates a custom grille and air filter and, further upstream, a combination of silicone and metal ductwork to connect to a custom throttle-body elbow made by Street & Performance. (See photo 13, cold-air scoop and grille; and photo 14, ductwork and throttle-body elbow.)
The intake grille and scoop is located between the bumpers and molded into the front valance. The grille is a custom piece machined by a local machinist to our design. The design uses horizontal grille bars to follow those of the original grille. Behind the grille is a custom air filter we made ourselves using K&N red foam filter material. The scoop was made, starting with a small aftermarket hoodscoop and then extensively modified to blend into the valance. The rear of the scoop was shaped to fit an aftermarket C4 silicone "bridge" which fits into a 90-degree silicone elbow and then makes the upward turn under the steering rack. From that point, an ovalized tube was used to make the connection to the throttle-body elbow.
Space between the steering rack and engine damper was extremely tight. After searching for ways to maintain a 4-inch-diameter tube, which would be narrow enough to fit that area, we found a company called Dr. Gas, which makes oval-shaped tubes from round stock. The company can ovalize a 4-inch round tube down to 2 3/4 inches, however, we had to go further to get the size we needed. One issue you run into when ovalizing a round tube is that it can end up forming a figure-eight shape if you're not using a mandrel. To avoid that, we made a series of wooden jigs to fit inside the tube while we squeezed it further in the vise. We were able to maintain the round 4-inch shape at the top of the tube for the connection at the throttle-body elbow, while achieving an oval shape at the bottom to clear the engine damper.
Engine And Engine-Compartment Finishing TouchesIn Part 3 of our project series, we mentioned some of the finishing touches applied to the engine, such as the smoothed and painted block; the polished heads; the water pump; the dry sump tank and throttle body; the accessory mounting brackets; the serpentine belt system; and the chromed valve covers, oil pan, starter, A/C compressor, alternator, power-steering pump, and coil mounts. However, we've not yet shown what the finished engine and compartment look like with the additional components we've added since then. These include the engine covers, intake manifold cover, power-steering reservoir, battery box, steering linkage, and the brake-master cylinder.
Engine Covers
Since we wanted to maintain as much recognition as possible with the LS7 Z06 engine, we had to retain the stock-style engine covers. However, there were several changes made to them, including smoothing and painting them in our red body color. The recessed lettering on the covers was highlighted by using silver pinstriping in an outline fashion. This was done by hand by a local friend of ours at Scavotto Signs. The covers were also modified to gain clearance for the A/C compressor, the brake master, and the intake manifold cover. (See photo 15, engine cover.)
Intake-Manifold Cover
Several years ago we designed a cover for the intake manifold of our '62 Corvette, which had the LS6 engine. This time we wanted to do something similar, however, we wanted it to be a modern interpretation of the original '63 fuel-injection cover, so this one has more of a finned design. We worked with Austin Barnett of VetteORama to design a custom emblem that uses crossed flags with "Z06" and "427" on either side. The cover consists of a framework held in place with brackets, mounted to existing intake-manifold bolt locations, and the billet-aluminum cover itself. Austin also made the "Split Personality" emblem mounted on the wiper door. (See photo 16, intake-manifold cover.)
Power-Steering Reservoir
A remote reservoir from Street & Performance was used. It was a tight fit but just cleared the inner fenderwell and radiator. Braided stainless hoses and AN fittings were used for the connections to the P/S pump and steering rack. (See photo 17, P/S reservoir and lines.)
Battery Box/Battery
In Part 3 of our project series, we showed the new battery mount made on the driver side of the chassis. We also had a billet-aluminum battery holder made and added a little more detail by gluing the emblem from the '63 glovebox to the top. Braided stainless-covered battery cables were also used, along with a battery-disconnect switch, and the terminals were smoothed and polished. We used an Optima "Red Top" battery but went the additional step of painting it in the red body color. Access to the battery is gained through the door in the driver-side fenderwell. (See photo 18, battery box, battery, and cables.)
Steering Linkage
We used a midyear-style tilt column from Flaming River, which we'll cover more of in the next installment. From the end of the steering column, we made the steering linkage using stainless components from Borgeson, which we then polished. The linkage includes four pieces: one combination universal/damper, one length of 3/4-inch steering shaft, one universal, and one support bearing. We found that an easy way to determine the proper lengths and angles is to mock up the linkage using a dowel for the shaft. The linkage connects to a chromed C4 Corvette rack-and-pinion unit from Unisteer. (See photo 19, steering linkage components; and photo 20, steering linkage installed.)
We also used a billet mount from Flaming River at the firewall to hold the column in place. One note on the firewall mount is that the diameter of the hole through the mount is larger than the diameter of the steering column. A friend of ours from Canada made a bushing to make both fit together.
Brake Master Cylinder
In Part 3 (Apr. '07) we showed a picture (page 48, picture 18) of what the electric/hydraulic power unit looked liked when installed on the chassis. Photo 21 of this installment is a picture of what the brake master looks like when installed. Because the power unit is mounted below on the chassis, only the brake master is mounted to the firewall which gains more space on the firewall. This unit (model No. 10-56) is from ABS Power Brakes.
Next time we'll cover the interior features of the car, including the overall design, upholstery, gauges, A/C system, insulation, rearview mirror/monitor, and custom panels. In the meantime, there are additional pictures and information on our website at www.richsclassic corvettes.com. We're always glad to try to answer any specific questions you might have about our projects.

Abstract: Based on an abstract concept of radical classes for semirings introduced by D. M. Olson and T. L. Jenkins in [OJ] we develop in this paper a Kurosh-Amitsur radical theory for semrings in a self-contained way. We define radical operators and semisimple classes for semirings independently on radical classes and exhibit among other results the bijective correspondence between each pair of these three concepts. As a special result we obtain that each radical class of semirings satisfies the A-D-S-property, which yields that each semisimple class is hereditary. We give more details in the introduction, where we also compare Kurosh-Amitsur radical theories for different structures. Observing the remarks given there, a reader may well use this paper also to inform himself about the radical theory for associative rings. \item{[OJ]} Olson, D. M.; Jenkins, T.

Lamb Chops with Kumquat Walnut Crust
03.15.10 by Jackie
Lamb chops are great on their own, but this walnut and kumquat flavored crust takes them to another level. I love the crust so much, I could eat it on its own. The fragrant zest of the kumquats pairs very well with the roasted and ground walnuts.
To ensure that the meat is juicy and very tender, I marinated the lamb in a Cabernet Sauvignon marinade mixed with my usual meat tenderizer ingredient (green papaya) before adding the crust. This recipe takes some time, but your efforts will be rewarded.
Our kumquat tree has produced a bumper crop this season, and I'm taking full advantage of the fruits of our labor. Stay tuned for more recipes that feature this wonderful and unique citrus.

Far Cry 3 is a great game. We don't need you take our word for it, as praise for Ubisoft's open-world jungle adventure has been almost unanimous. However, that's not to say that the game is perfect, and since it hit store shelves earlier this week we've heard numerous complaints about the game's heads-up display. While functional, the display is cluttered. Ubisoft did excellent work in making the various on-screen indicators useful and information-dense, but the company almost went too far, and the result is a heads-up display that occasionally obscures crucial parts of a player's vision.
It seems that we weren't the only people listening to these complaints as this morning Ubisoft announced an upcoming patch which will allow players to tweak the HUD to their liking. "Based on feedback from both press and fans, the Far Cry 3 production team is working on a patch that will allow you to toggle most HUD/UI elements based on player preference," an Ubisoft representative wrote in a message to Kotaku. "The patch will also avoid issues encountered in the .dll hack that might create a mission walkthrough break (missing QTE prompts, critical information, etc). The team is excited about how the Far Cry 3 community and fans of the game are enjoying themselves, and finding new ways to experience the Rook Islands. More news will be coming on the patch shortly…"
You'll notice that the announcement includes neither a release date for the patch, nor word of what else it might change in Far Cry 3. We expect all of that information to appear quite soon, as Ubisoft seems ready to do everything in its power to build the extant Far Cry 3 playerbase now that the game is officially on shelves.
On to more pressing matters though: Why did Ubisoft send that announcement directly to Kotaku? Because yesterday the site published a piece detailing a relatively simple hack to remove Far Cry 3's in-game HUD. The writer, Kirk Hamilton, claims (accurately) that replaying Far Cry 3 without any of Ubisoft's hand-crafted user interface elements blocking the screen makes the game experience quite different (and, as you'd expect, significantly more difficult). Unfortunately, Hamilton's hack does cause unforeseen problems with the game's periodic quick time events, making them effectively unbeatable. Ubisoft, already hard at work on a patch that will allow players to strip out the HUD without breaking anything, must have seen Hamilton's article, realized he made an excellent point, and decided to drop word to Kotaku that the developer was hard at work on improving Hamilton's new way to play Far Cry 3.
For the most part though, that's boring, "inside baseball"-type stuff that won't interest you unless you get paid to write about games. The important part here is that Ubisoft is paying very close attention to how people feel about Far Cry 3 and are working diligently to improve any problems that might arise. We're very excited to see what else this next patch might add to the game, and will have more word on when/how it will appear just as soon as Ubisoft makes that info public.

Hello all, this is Kevin once again with a delayed review of our trip to Big River Brewery in Walt Disney World during the Epcot Food and Wine Festival.
We went to Big River after spending an exhausting but fun day sampling wines and our palates needed a little bit of hops and malt to help reset themselves, so we headed out the back door of Epcot and took a boat over to Disney's Boardwalk for a mircobrew experience. We hope to try Big River again, hopefully with our friends the Hoperatives, who are big fans of the place. I suspect that we were too tired to fully appreciate the experience.
We tried the following:
Southern Flyer Light Lager (3.61% Alcohol by Volume – AbV) – The light cross over beer for people who are comfortable with Bud's American ale, the flavor had a slight soapy quality similar to what I find in Bud American ale. I believe that quality is from the Liberty hops used.
Gadzooks Pilsner (3.61% AbV) – Standard Pilsner for those who like pilsners. Nother super remarkable, but exactly what is promised.
Steamboat Pale Ale (4.4% AbV) – Traditional Pale Ale. Once again a nice solid entry that hits the expected notes and won't dissapoint ale drinkers.
Rocket Red Ale (5.3% AbV) – Nice upfront malt, fades to rounded finish. This one is pretty tasty and is memorable. This one is reccomended if you like a malty flavor in a light bodied beer.
Sweet Magnolia American Brown Ale (5.18% AbV) – Has similar taste to a Chocolate Malt. Very little coffee. Kevin's favorite, Michelle not as much. The sweetness and chocolate would make this a recommendation for Guinness lovers, but it's not a stout so the overall flavor has a strong hop presence, so try a sample and see if it's a fit.
Wowser's Wheat (4.29% AbV) – Traditional German style Wheat beer served with a wedge of lemon. The banana and clove components are balanced and in line with what is expected.
Overall, Big River was a nice diversion from the Food and Wine festival and the standard theme park food that you can usually find. If you are in the mood for a beer and chicken nachos, head over to Big River at Disney's Boardwalk.

I suggest that The Sun and the Maryland Court of Appeals of Maryland are in too much haste to agree with a too-loud, aggressive minority ("Another boost for same-sex marriage," May 21). The grant of a divorce for a same-sex couple who had married out-of-state was premature and wrong. Admittedly, under current public policy, laws could readily and easily be enacted which grant to civil unions of same-sex couples gone astray from the laws of nature, all of the very same rights and equal protection of the laws that married couples now enjoy.
Neither the court nor The Sun but only the people can decide what is and what is not repugnant to public policy in Maryland. Until the citizens of Maryland, by reason of a promised referendum, go to the voting booth and decide whether same-sex marriage is legal (even though currently prohibited by more than 31 states), Maryland courts and newspapers should withhold comment.

Another piece I have procured recently. This is a small (3.5 inch) Candia Silberiris vase. It is shown in the Musterschnitte (Loetz line drawings book) as being a commissioned piece for E. Bakalowits Söhne, Production Number 85/5151. Now that my cases are pretty much filled with larger pieces, these diminutive ones fit in nicely, and are much more fun to sit at my desk and hold.

Questions that arise when placing cameras on cops
LOS ANGELES (AP) — New tiny cameras are starting to be worn by police officers across the U.S. — roughly 3,000 of 18,000 law enforcement agencies are using or trying out these cameras and the numbers are expected to grow exponentially as technology has become more affordable and reliable.
But with its myriad uses, departments are wrangling over several major policy considerations and their implications on privacy and officer liability.
The biggest question for departments is whether officers should be recording at all times. Should they turn them off when speaking to confidential informants or during sensitive victim interviews? What if the person doesn't want to be filmed? And how might it impact the prosecution?
Many departments tell officers to wear their cameras at all times but allow them some discretion on filming. But that could also create problems later, said Scott Greenwood, general counsel for the national American Civil Liberties Union and an expert on the devices.
"If officers are allowed to use the videos only when it's to their advantage, then there won't be public support for this, and most of the advantages to accountability and oversight will be lost," he said.
Some departments allow officers to watch the tape before they write their reports; others require them to make a statement to internal investigators, if that's applicable, first.
"I'm going to acknowledge to you that a member's recollection actually changes after seeing the video," Oakland police union chief Barry Donelan said. "I've seen it."
Memory doesn't work the same as a video camera; it's impossible to go frame by frame and so what an officer saw and remembered out of a high-adrenaline situation may not match the tape, Donelan said.
It doesn't always mean they're lying, he said, sometimes it just means they're human.
A key issue that's starting to arise is what happens when someone files a public records request for the video — is it considered a police report, an investigatory file?
Policies generally don't always address this and there haven't been enough requests.
Greenwood said the media and public should not have access to anything they wouldn't have the right to be physically present to observe. For example, a reporter wouldn't be present during a victim interview nor would they go in with police on a search warrant.
In Phoenix, the police union made a records request for all the footage from the initial 90-day camera trial and was told it would cost $11,000 because of the review process and to address privacy concerns, said Phoenix police Officer Joe Clure, who heads the union. They decided not to go for it.
Some civil rights advocates recommend footage be retained for up to the statute of limitations on filing a complaint on an officer, which is usually a year in California.
If there's an ongoing case, or possibility the footage will be used in prosecution, then it should be flagged and kept until that's completed including any appeal. For basic daily interactions that don't produce investigatory material, video can be deleted between 30 and 90 days, Greenwood said.
Police in Rialto, Calif., keep videos in cases involving felonies for seven years; homicides for 100. Sgt. Richard Royce, the union chief, there's also a process for purging videos from the system in case something is accidentally recorded. The Los Angeles Police Department is currently keeping video for at least five years.
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Magic Johnson
NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson is educating the world on HIV awareness and the importance of getting tested. He's like a teacher with a mean slam dunk.
NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson is educating the world on HIV awareness and the importance of getting tested. He's like a teacher with a mean slam dunk.
Thandie Newton stars in "Rogue" as an undercover cop who's fallen in love with a crime boss. The word "awkward" doesn't even begin to cover it.
Not only is Langhorne Slim a great alt-country musician, his name would make a great ladies' cigarette from the '60s. His album is Lost at Last Vol. 1.
In "Spring Breakers," Vanessa Hudgens plays a party girl who robs stores for kicks. So long, "High School Musical," hello "Jailhouse Rock!"
In "Wendell & Vinnie," Jerry Trainor stars as the owner of a pop culture memorabilia store. If you see a "He-Man & The Masters of the Universe" lunchbox in there, could you set it aside for us?
The very funny Emily Heller doesn't like to be called a "comedienne." Good point. If she was the host of this show, it's not like we'd call her a hostette.
Seth Green stars in "The Identical," the story of two identical twins separated at birth. Sadly, there's no evil one with a goatee to let you know he's the evil twin.
Charles Phoenix can transform any boring party into a mid-century Americana kitsch masterpiece. It's like watching a crazy kaleidoscope version of "Leave It to Beaver."
The Milk Carton Kids's new album is Monterey, which is both a terrific album and a delightful California vacation spot.
Ricky Gervais returns to host the Golden Globes. We're a weird combination of excited and scared for it. We're not sure what that is, but the Germans probably have a word for it.
Deepak Chopra new book is entitled Radical Beauty: How to Transform Yourself from the Inside Out. We hope Deepak continues the'80s superlatives and calls his next book Totally Tubular Inner Peace.
Not only is Imagine Dragons a great indie-rock band, they're also a great tongue twister if you say their name enough times. Their new album is Night Visions.

Court Says Sony Is Free To Change Its Terms Of Service Because Accessing PSN Is A Choice
from the companies-own-you dept
Some folks were not at all happy about this and sought to file a class action lawsuit against Sony for the change -- but that lawsuit has been (pretty quickly) rejected by the court, suggesting that the main guy suing failed to show evidence of any harm. In an interesting move, the court found that the fact that you lost access to the network if you didn't agree to the new terms isn't evidence of any harm, but rather a choice. Of course, that seems a bit extreme. It opens up possibilities for companies to more or less corner users into unpleasant situations. Just change the terms and anyone can be excluded.
I'm not a fan of mandatory arbitration clauses or class action lawsuits like this where "harm" is pretty tough to show. In the end, though, it does seem like Sony should be able to choose and change its terms of service. The real issue is that it chose consumer-unfriendly options, and in a better world, less draconian alternatives would spring up to help treat consumers right. It's hard to side with Sony here (or in most situations), but the lawsuit itself does seem like a stretch.

- FIA news
FIA considering five-second penalty
The FIA is looking at the possibility of introducing a five-second time penalty for borderline track limit infringements.
The potential new penalty is being discussed following the controversial incident involving Romain Grosjean and Felipe Massa during the Hungarian Grand Prix, with the stewards' hands tied as a drive-through penalty was the most lenient punishment available to them. McLaren sporting director Sam Michael confirmed that a five-second penalty was being considered, but that in which form it could be applied is still being debated.
"That was a discussion that started about a year ago and that was discussed again at the sporting group a couple of days ago," Michael said. "It's difficult, because it's a tricky thing to do to go and lose five seconds in a lap, but what you've got to keep in mind is it's that versus a 12-seconds penalty for a drive through - sometimes more - so it would be good to put something in there, it's just practically how do you implement it?
"What the stewards are saying is 'Listen, that's the minimum penalty that we can inflict in a race where we think a fine or a reprimand is not good enough because you've done something wrong, but actually a drive through is really harsh'. So they're trying to find an intermediate point, and there's various ideas of what you could do. They might come in next year or they might come in as an experimentation as well to see how they work during the race."
A straight five-second penalty added to the final race time is one option which is being considered, though there are reservations about drivers finishing in a different order on track. Grosjean himself believes
"It's always hard to decide. If you follow the rules from Hungary then yes I went outside the track but there is another rule that says you have to avoid a collision and when you see Felipe's front wing there I did try to avoid a collision. So it's 50:50, so maybe yes something a bit less harsh that is a little bit in between when we agree to disagree would be nice.
"I don't know if they can give [a penalty] afterwards. They could say 'Yes you're going to get a penalty' so you can do your race and push hard to try and get a gap to the guys behind. Or they could say slow for a lap, but if you slow down then you could block the guys behind, so it's hard to know what to do."

Ward, The (UK - BD RA/B)
Chris takes a quick look at the Blu-ray release of John Carpenter's recent film
Welcome to North Bend Psychiatric Hospital in 1966, an isolation ward for female offenders with a deadly secret guaranteed to terrify beyond words. Kristen (Amber Heard) finds herself committed to The Ward after setting fire to an abandoned farmhouse. Imprisoned in this terrifying asylum alongside a group of erratically behaved young women, Kristen not only faces overbearing wardens during the day but by night a savage ghostly figure stalks the ward hallway for her next victim to swallow into the darkness.
With no recollection of previous events and fellow inmates disappearing one by one, the terrifying realisation dawns on the patients that anyone could be next. A petrified Kristen is forced to band together with four other female offenders to piece together a dark secret and reveal the horrific truth in a desperate struggle for survival. (Taken from the Warner synopsis.)
If you cast your mind back far enough you may remember that The Ward was originally due to arrive on Blu-ray way back in May, but negative reaction to Warner's decision to release the film open matte forced the distributor to abandon its release plans and head back to the drawing board. I'm as critical as the next guy when it comes to distributors butchering the visual integrity of films, so it's only fair to give Warner some credit for taking the time to do things right. Of course John Carpenter weighing in on the subject on Twitter probably helped tip the scales, but it's still commendable…
After all the furore surrounding the original check discs and their open matte, 1.78:1 transfers of the film, I'm pleased to report that The Ward finally arrives on Blu-ray with a rather spiffy transfer at its theatrically correct aspect ratio of 2.35:1 (1080/24p AVC). Shot on 35mm rather than in one of the increasingly popular digital formats, the image is very clean and detailed, with a wonderful layer of grain for that filmic look. The colour palette is intentionally muted, but still surprisingly natural, and contrast appears variable by design. In some scenes it appears very hot, causing blooming as the girls stand against large window, while in others it's a bit flat, lending an almost washout out appearance to the film. This sometimes has the unavoidable side effect of rendering less than inky blacks, but again I must stress that it seems to be a calculated effect. DNR is never an issue and there's no unsightly edge enhancement to be seen. All things considered this is a good effort.
To compliment the video Warner has furnished The Ward with a great little Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track (haven't seen that codec in use for a while). It presents strong, natural dialogue that remains firmly anchored in the centre of the sound-stage and intelligible above the rest of the effects. Speaking of effects, well there are actually quite a few, from the roar of a fire and the sound of sirens, or thunderclaps and pouring rain, to various creepy sounds and audio stingers during the jumpier moments. The surround channels get quite a decent workout during these sequences, but they also assist the frontal array with general ambience throughout. Bass also plays its part during the scares, but even simple things like doors being slammed shut carry some weight. The creepy music is well utilised to add tension and again it's liberally spread across the available channels to immerse the viewer. It's not a flashy soundtrack, but it does the basics very well.
This is where I felt slightly let down by Warner's Blu-ray Disc. The only supplemental material is a series of three interview segments, the first with John Carpenter (03:00 HD), the second with the actors (26:01 HD) and the third with the producers/production designer (18:14 HD). Carpenter's interview is so short it might as well not have been included, but the female cast all have strong opinions on the director and the film (even if some of them overlap). Obviously the producers talk the movie up big time, but that's hardly surprising.
I really hoped that The Ward would be a return to form for John Carpenter, but sadly it was not to be. To be honest it's not really his fault, as he didn't write this one and the direction is perfectly competent, but I found the whole thing too predictable and lacking in any real scares or excitement. To be honest I think the film has been somewhat mis-sold as a horror when it is in fact more of a psychological thriller. It's not that it's a particularly bad film per se, just a spectacularly average one, and I expect more from the man who brought us some of the greatest horror films of the last thirty years. On the plus side the Blu-ray is technically proficient, with a very pleasing visual transfer and a solid audio track. The extras aren't much to write home about, but that seems to be par for the course these days and it was nice to hear from the cast. I just wish Carpenter himself had a greater presence in the supplements. All in all, probably worth a rental for casual fans but only Carpenter completists should be handing over serious money until the price falls. Sorry John, but we'll always have The Thing...
* Note: The images below are taken from the Blu-ray release and resized for the page. Full-resolution captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not necessarily representative of the quality of the transfer.

I wouldn't call it bad John Carpenter. I just wouldn't call THE WARD a great John Carpenter film. The film comes in somewhere between his worst and his best.

One can only wonder what we're missing out on if we would've gotten the open matte transfer (screencap #3).

I loved this film.
Spoiler I would have preferred it if it had ended with Kristen actually having been cured though, and that that was the big twist. The mirror scene takes a lot away from an otherwise brilliant film IMO.
If you're disappointed with the extras, get the US release. It has an excellent commentary track with Carpenter and Jared Harris (who is really interesting to listen to). Might be region locked though.

Despite his age Andy Schleck has already been knocking on the Tour de France's door for a few years, and this year he's hoping to rise to the top step. After finishing on the podium last year Schleck is looking to put a rough start to his 2010 season behind him and challenge the likes of Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador for overall glory.
Schleck's Saxo Bank squad has already suffered mixed fortunes at this year's race. Andy pulled out a small margin on his general classification rivals on the important stage three, however he also lost brother Frank to a broken collarbone on the same stage. Frank would have been an important assistant – and possible contender himself – when the race reaches the mountain stages, and the loss of him from the Danish team will undoubtedly have an impact.

Sen. Ben Cardin warns of devastation for millions of Americans if the automatic spending cuts called sequestration occur March 1 as scheduled ("No to sequestration," Feb. 20).
If that's really true, however, why are members of Congress taking a week's vacation, and why is the president in Florida playing golf with celebrities?
If sequestration is so terrible for Maryland, why aren't Senators Cardin and Barbara Mikulski in Washington working on a solution?
The answer must be that members of both political parties no longer care about the American people enough to even show up for work. They won't lose their jobs when calamity occurs. But maybe they should, in the next election.

Taipei, Taiwan, April 26, 2011 - A number of smaller handset vendors are rushing to launch low-priced (sub US$150) Android handsets targeting users in emerging markets in 2011, with related shipments forecast to reach 20-25 million units this year. The shipment total represents up to tenfold growth on 2010 shipments, and the segment will account for 12.1-15.1% of overall Android handset shipments, according to a recently published Digitimes Research Special Report.
The report, titled "The rise of the low-priced Android smartphone," charts the rapid growth of the global smartphone market and the rise of Android as a smartphone platform. According to figures from Digitimes Research, global smartphone shipments for 2010 totaled 288 million units, representing 61.2% growth on the 2009 figures and accounting for nearly 20% of all mobile phone shipments.
In 2010, the Android platform also gained momentum in the market, the report explains. Carriers worldwide began to partner with manufacturers such as HTC, Motorola and Samsung Electronics in an effort to outdo each other in launching high-end Android smartphones in order to entice customers to sign up for mobile data services. The end result was that Android handset shipments and sales went from strength to strength, growing so much that Android was catapulted into second place in the smartphone platform rankings.
While competition in the high-end smartphone market has already been through a gradual process of warming up before finally reaching fever pitch, the low-priced Android handset market has only just got underway; demand in this sector remains far from fully tapped, and serious competition is only just starting in 2011.
The report notes that handset chip manufacturers around the world are convinced that demand for low-priced Android smartphones will soon follow in the footsteps of the high-end handset market and grow rapidly over the coming years. Such firms have all made and begun to execute plans to move into the low-priced Android handset processor market, hoping to emulate the success of the feature phone turnkey solution model and grab a share of the potentially lucrative low-end sector.
China- and Taiwan-based chip design firms such as MediaTek, Infomax, Rockchip and Leadcore successively launched solutions for low-priced Android handsets beginning in the second half of 2010, and major international chip vendors including Qualcomm, ST-Ericsson, Broadcom, Texas Instruments (TI) and Marvell all launched turnkey solutions for low-priced Android handsets in fourth quarter 2010 or first quarter 2011.
This Digitimes Research Special Report tracks and analyzes the key players in the low-priced Android market, from the upstream turnkey solution providers to the downstream system players handset vendors, revealing the competitive advantages of the various players in this rapidly growing market segment and the prospects of the overall low-priced Android market.
Shipments of low-priced Android handsets to pass the 20 million mark in 2011

Hmm...I wasn't thinking that I was really gone for 11 hours, that is a lot. I think he was also going through a growth spurt during the 18 oz day since the day before he was nursing every hour to hour and a half. That is so exhausting!
I do feel my letdown happen but he seems comfortable with it now (when he was younger he'd come off, cough and I'd spray him) but maybe I can let him off when it happens to see if that improves things.
And yep, in TN! It's a beautiful state although I'm closer to Knoxville on the other side of the state.

Justin Bieber's New Fragrance Ad: The Selena Gomez Look-Alike He Cast
Bieb's new scent, 'Girlfriend' is out—and if you haven't noticed, the girl in the video looks a lot like Justin's own girlfriend, Selena Gomez—and we're not the only ones who think so!
Justin Bieber appeared on ABC's The View June 19 to promote his recently released fragrance, Girlfriend. Barbara Walters pointed out the obvious when chatting about the girl in the fragrance ad: 'kinda looks like Selena?' Biebs, 18, was quick to respond, "It looks nothing like Selena!…It's a side profile how do you even get Selena out of that?"
Biebs may not want to admit it, but we think he had a certain someone in mind (Selena Gomez) when he did the casting for the fragrance ad!
HollywoodLifers, do YOU think Justin's fragrance ad 'girlfriend' looks like Selena? Sound off below!

At some point I might just set up a template for announcing minor Hunger Games: Catching Fire casting news, since at the rate this news is coming in there will be something to say every day. For what feels like years we've been getting updates on who will play minor new characters in the film, while still anxiously waiting for the only new casting news anybody cares about-- who's going to play Finnick?
And don't run that Sam Claflin rumor by me again-- I want actual news, y'all, and probably soon-- after all, Catching Fire is set to start production this fall. Anyway, while we wait for District 4's golden-haired champion to finally get on board, we've got casting news about another former Hunger Games champion. Lionsgate has announced that Bruno Gunn will play Brutus, the former victor from District 2 who is paired with another former District 2 champion, the recently cast Enobaria, when… well, I don't think we can tell you exactly why there are so many former tributes involved in Catching Fire if you haven't read the book, so if you've somehow missed out on the Hunger Games phenomenon, we'll just leave it there.
Gunn-- who has, can we say it, the perfect name to be playing a tough guy tribute named Brutus-- used to go by Bruno Gioiello, and under that name you can find him in roles on Prison Break, The Office,Curb Your Enthusiasm and Medium, as well as in Bad Teacher. And, it bears mentioning, Gunn is white, while his fellow tribute Enobaria, played by Meta Golding, will be of Haitian descent. You might remember a lot of weird racial talk swirling around The Hunger Games in March, specifically around the character of Rue, who hailed from District 11 alongside fellow tribute Thresh; both were black, and there seemed to be an insinuation that everyone in District 11 was black in scenes of a riot taking place there. In the Hunger Games books author Suzanne Collins seemed to suggest that this future version of America consists mostly of people of blended race, and the largely white cast of The Hunger Games bugged some people. Enobaria's race in Catching Fire is never specified, nor is Brutus's, and it's nice to see the producers bring in two actors who help further suggest that Panem-- while a totalitarian and brutal place-- is maybe less racially divided than we are. Seems truer to Collins's novels, as well as better chance for actors who are best for the parts to be cast as these tributes.

The U.S. Supreme Court could rule on the constitutionality of the health care reform law as soon as Monday, said Jim Cramer on CNBC's "Mad Money."
Known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the law has inspired both political and legal battles from the moment President Barack Obama signed it into law more than two years ago. It has been challenged by 26 states which contend the so-called individual mandate is unconstitutional. In March, the Supreme Court heard six hours of oral argument regarding the law. Although the high court will not say when it will rule on the case, published reports suggest it could happen next week.

Technical Implementation Notice 14-16, Amended
National Weather Service Headquarters Washington DC
1020 AM EDT Tue Apr 29 2014
To: Subscribers:
-Family of Services
-NOAA Weather Wire Service
-Emergency Managers Weather Information Network
Other NWS Partners, Users and Employees
From: Timothy McClung
Science Plans Branch Chief
Office of Science and Technology
Subject: Amended: Upgrade to HIRES Window:
Effective June 3, 2014
Notice is amended to reschedule the upgrade from May 28 to June
3, 2014, and to deleted mention of an upgrade to the Ferrier
microphysics that will not in fact be done with this upgrade.
Effective Tuesday, June 3, 2014, beginning with the 1200
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) run, the National Centers for
Environmental Prediction (NCEP) will upgrade the High-Resolution
Window Forecast System (HIRESW). The upgrade includes:
-Changes to the model components
-Increases in horizontal and vertical resolution
-Changes in parameterized physics
-Merging of West and East domains into a single CONUS domain
-Additional runs for Alaska and western CONUS
-Additional gridded output on NDFD 2.5 to 3.0 km grids
-New product fields
Model Changes:
The HIRESW model will be updated from Weather Research and
Forecasting (WRF) version 3.2 code to WRF Version 3.5 code for
the Advanced Research WRF (ARW) member. The WRF Nonhydrostatic
Mesoscale Model (NMM) member will be replaced by the
Nonhydrostatic Multiscale Model on B-grid (NMMB).
Domain and Schedule Changes:
The model will discontinue the West and East domains and
replaced by a single CONUS domain. As a result, the run schedule
of the domains will be revised as follows:
00 UTC: CONUS, Hawaii, Guam
06 UTC: Alaska, Puerto Rico
12 UTC: CONUS, Hawaii, Guam
18 UTC: Alaska, Puerto Rico
This change provides Alaska and the western portion of CONUS
with twice daily runs whereas, instead of one HIRESW run per
Resolution Changes:
The WRF-ARW model horizontal resolution will increase from
5.15 km to:
CONUS: 4.2 km
Alaska: 3.5 km
Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico: 3.8 km
The WRF-NMM model horizontal resolution of 4.0 km will increase
in the NMMB model to:
CONUS: 3.6 km
Alaska: 3.0 km
Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico: 3.0 km
The number of vertical levels will increase from 35 to 40 in
both the new WRF-ARW and NMMB systems.
Physics Changes:
- WRF-ARW will change from use of WRF Single Moment 3-Class
(WSM3) microphysics to WRF Single Moment 6-Class (WSM6)
- Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) radiation used
with WRF-NMM will be replaced by the Rapid Radiative Transfer
Model (RRTM) for NMMB
-NMMB model run will use Betts-Miller-Janjic (BMJ) parameterized
convection for the Guam and Puerto Rico domains only.
Initialization Changes:
- The new CONUS domain interpolates an initial condition from
the Rapid Refresh (RAP) model, with boundary conditions
generated from the Global Forecast System (GFS) model. The
current West and East domains are initialized using North
American Mesoscale (NAM) model conditions for initial and
lateral boundary conditions.
- The Puerto Rico and Hawaii domains will switch from using NAM
model conditions for initial and lateral boundaries to GFS
conditions for both. The Guam and Alaska domains retain their
use of GFS conditions.
- All NMMB runs, except for the Guam domain, replace their
initial surface/soil fields with land states from the NAM.
Output Product Changes:
The current HIRESW produces output on 5 km grids for East CONUS,
west CONUS, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Guam. These
products will continue, although the East and West grids will
only be distributed on NOAAPORT. The grid will no longer be
available on the NCEP or NWS ftp servers.
The filenames of the existing 5 km output files will be
changing. The ".tm00" appendix is dropped and an "f" is added
before the forecast hour:
akarw.t18z.awpreg24.tm00.grib2 -> akarw.t18z.awpregf24.grib2
The model descriptor "nmm" is replaced with "nmmb":
hinmm.t12z.awpreg24.tm00.grib2 -> hinmmb.t12z.awpregf24.grib2
All domains will gain new grids of select surface fields
interpolated to the higher-resolution NDFD grids (3 km for
Alaska, 2.5 km for CONUS, HI, PR and Guam). Output on NDFD grids
will include directly interpolated information, and information
that has been processed through smartinit downscaling. Output
files will have names in this format:
Three new gridded output fields will become available on all
output grids, both 5km grids and NDFD grids:
-Vertically Integrated Liquid (VIL)
-Haines Index
-Surface Wind Gust
Supplementing the fine-scale NDFD grids, new output files for
the CONUS will provide full-domain coverage in horizontal and
vertical (see list of isobaric levels below) on the 5 km grid
227 with a filename of the form:
Additional isobaric level output will be generated for the 5 km
non-NDFD output grids for all domains:
Geopotential height, temperature, relative humidity, dew point
temperature, and u- and v-wind components will be added at 350,
450, 525, 550, 575, 600, 625, 650, 675, 725, 750, 775, 800, 825,
875, 900, 950, and 975 hPa.
Vertical velocity will be added at 350, 450, 525, 550, 575, 625,
650, 675, 725, 750, 775, 800, 825, 875, 900, 950, and 975 hPa.
New cloud field output will be generated for the 5km non-NDFD
output grids for all domains.
-Low, middle, and high cloud fractions
-Total column cloud condensate
-Total column cloud water
-Total column cloud ice
-Total column cloud rain
-Total column cloud snow
Changes to BUFR products:
The list of stations for which BUFR output is produced will be
changed with this upgrade. The changes are outlined at:
Data Availability and Schedule Changes:
As a result of the schedule changes mentioned above, areas
covered by the current West domain output grid will get that
output for the 00 UTC and 12 UTC cycles rather than the current
06 UTC cycle. Alaskan domain output will become available for
the 06 UTC cycle to supplement the current 18 UTC cycle. On
NOAAPORT, the delivery schedule will be as follows, with the
East/West grids provided in lieu of the new full CONUS grid:
00 UTC: East CONUS, West CONUS, Hawaii, Guam
06 UTC: Alaska, Puerto Rico
12 UTC: East CONUS, West CONUS, Hawaii, Guam
18 UTC: Alaska, Puerto Rico
During the 2014 hurricane season, NCEP is not planning to
reinstate the preemption of HIRESW runs, but in subsequent years
NCEP may need to resume preemption based on resources in the
NCEP Production Suite.
The HIRESW data is currently available on the NWS FTP server,
the NCEP server, NOMADS and on NOAAPORT.
Product delivery timing of the current HIRESW GRIB2 products on
the ftp servers and NOMADS is not expected to change as a result
of this implementation. New downscaled output from CONUS and AK
domains will be available as much as 30 minutes later than other
gridded output. For the products available on NOAAPORT, the
HIRESW output will now be disseminated as the model is running,
rather than all at once at the end of the model run as it is
today. The last forecast hours will still arrive at the same
time, but the earlier forecast hours will come out earlier than
today, and come out gradually as the model runs.
More information regarding the current operational HIRESW and
associated products can be found at:
A consistent parallel feed of data will become available on the
NCEP server once the model is running in parallel on the NCEP
Weather and Climate Operational Supercomputing System (WCOSS) by
early-April. The parallel data will be available via the
following URLs:
NCEP encourages all users to ensure their decoders are flexible
and are able to adequately handle changes in content order,
changes in the scaling factor component within the product
definition section (PDS) of the GRIB files, and also any volume
changes which may be forthcoming. These elements may change with
future NCEP model implementations. NCEP will make every attempt
to alert users to these changes prior to any implementations.

As cities and states across the nation take aim at public employee pensions, Boston City Hall is engaged in a very different debate: how much to increase retirees' checks.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino is proposing to boost the annual cost-of-living adjustment for most pensioners from $360 to $390, a $30 increase. City Council president Stephen J. Murphy is pushing for more, seeking a $90 increase over the current rate.
