Undefeated featherweight Jun Doliguez (16-0-2, 12 KO's), who was held to a majority draw by Mexico's Ruben Tamayo ( 22-4-4, 16 KO's) in Merida last Saturday will train at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles according to his manager Elmer Anuran.
Anuran himself appeared disappointed since Doliguez who had signed a two year promotional deal with Fernando Beltran's Zanfer Promotions was expected to put on an impressive performance but failed to do so, eliciting critical comments from WBO International featherweight champion Jose Ramirez who was Doliguez' first opponent but backed out because of the small purse which he claimed was originally $3,000 but increased to $4,000 and not $7,000 as claimed in news releases.
Ramirez told Cebu-based Mexican Mike Lopez who often is in the corner of visiting fighters who clash with ALA Promotions boxers in Cebu said Ramirez told him he expected Doliguez to win easily because Tamayo was " just an average fighter."
This is borne out by the southpaw Tamayo's ring record where he was knocked out in the 8th round by Jesus Ruiz in a clash for the FECOMBOX super bantamweight title last April 19 after earlier losing by a 5th round TKO to Genaro Camargo in a face off for the Mexican super bantamweight title on December 14, 2012.
Ramirez who is ranked No. 7 in the WBO world ratings said he would love to defend the title he won from Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista last April 20 in Davao City against No. 9 ranked Doliguez saying "I could easily beat him. Doliguez showed me nothing and he is just all "hype" coming out of the Philippines."
Anuran who watched the "live" feed at Solar Sports said Tamayo "used his height and reach advantage effectively. Clearly his style made it hard for Doliguez to catch him perfectly."
However, to Anuran it was "a great experience for Doliguez and a lesson f or the entire team to adjust, depending on the opponents fighting style."
He claimed that during the three months of training Doliguez sparred with orthodox fighters since he figured he would face Ramirez and hadn't prepared for a southpaw like Tamayo.
Anuran he was impressed with Doliguez' courage which he said was "more than enough for us" even as he noted it was the first time Doliguez fought outside the Philippines.
The manager expressed confidence that Doliguez "will be better in his next fight when he will be fully adjusted with his new environment."
Anuran disclosed he is "trying to seal a slot on the undercard of the Jesus Chavez Jr fight card in September and are considering Oscar Gonzales as a possible opponent" who could be the 33 year old featherweight with a record of 22-2 with 14 knockouts.

FCS and Protein assay - (Jun/02/2009 )
Hi all,
I am using drugs dissolved in DMSO in Caco-2 FCS-free media but I have been told that my drugs are coming out of solution because I have not added any FCS. However I have avoided using serum media because I need to quantify proteins in the cell supernatant using Bradford assay. Is there a way I can account for the FCS in the media when measuring supernatant protein? I am using 5% FCS.
5% FCS will very likely swamp out you being able to detect any secreted proteins. I would be surprised if your drugs are coming out of solution because there is no FCS, more likely is that they are not very soluble in water.
Hi bob1,
Thanks for your reply. Yes the drugs I am using are very hydrophobic and polar with lots of benzene rings. They readily dissolve in 100% DMSO (which is what I have dissolved them in). I was just told yesterday by a former PhD student that she got the drugs to stay in solution by adding a small % of FCS plus warming the drugs at 37C before transferring to the tissue culture plates with media. I thought the former was a little strange but at this stage I am willing to try anything! I am also going to reduce the concentration of drugs from 50 to 30 uM but I doubt this will have a huge effect on solubility!
Try dissolving them in dimethyl fomamide, it may mean that they stay in solution better.

Main :: BackTrack / MIDI Mobilizer
by KenOneto on 2009-09-10 09:32:50.1510
I just got backtract + w/mic and the only way it auto records is if my volume nob is turned all the way up. i like a cleaner
tone. My pickups on my fender strat are seymore duncans have plenty of volume. how do i adjut the backtrack to work
when my volume nob is @ 1/2 to 3/4's turned on.
by Line6Hugo on 2009-09-14 11:35:56.0250
The volume of your guitar has to cross a threshold in order for the Backtrack+Mic to auto-record. In your case, your guitar is too quiet to auto-record with the volume below full.
You will either need to record with the volume at full, or perform a manual record by pressing the Play+Mark buttons at the same time.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

A great bull market involving stocks, commodities, and low grade bonds ran for a number of years and completed in 1873. During the latter part of it, Europe suffered a war and, with the usual strains found in credit markets, the establishment found two features that would eliminate risk.
One was that Treasury Secretary Richardson had immense abilities and powers that would prevent anything going wrong. Then, backing this up, was that the undersea telegraph cables could render the immediate transfer of the precise amount of liquidity to extinguish a problem.
A recent article by a well known historian observed that today's instantaneous news transmission will be less forgiving than in the past. Also noted was that long-distance communications "were a bit patchy" as far back as 1914.
This seems to be a limited step towards fully appreciating the role of "instantaneous communications" and phases of great excitements in the financial markets. Indeed, long distance communication was virtually made instantaneous in the late 1860s with wire services provided by cross-channel and transatlantic cable systems.
This, as well as the speed of the "new" ticker tape machines were important parts of the bubble in stocks, corporate bonds, and commodities that blew out in September, 1873. Western Union Telegraph was the popular big-cap high-tech stock.
On the way up the boom, the enthusiasm went beyond individual high-tech favourites and formed a consensus that instantaneous communication would provide ready assistance in staving off a liquidity problem. This was reviewed in contemporary publications.
The initial whiff of panic arrived in late September with the failure of Jay Cooke and Co. The immediacy of transmission is best appreciated by quoting directly from the October 4, 1873 edition of The Economist:
"The failure ...was known in London to the most important American houses, we believe, the very evening of its occurrence, and to all the world next morning."
As Cooke was a huge underwriter and distributor of bonds, the failure was serious. The article mentioned "cable transfers", which The Economist pointed out was the same as if "an indefinite amount" of liquidity had actually arrived.
The article observed that without this assistance the distress would have been greater than at anytime in the past. The words almost glowed:
"The contrast between what has happened now and what has happened in 1857, when there was no telegraph, is sufficiently striking. The American crisis of that year broke out at the end of September, but news did not reach England till nearly the middle of October, and shipments of gold [liquidity] were then started, but could not reach America or be known there till the beginning of November."
The article concluded with:
"The power [of the cable] gives of using prompt remedies; and it seems hardly possible to over-estimate the value of the services which the Atlantic Cable has now rendered."
This was written only a month after the leading New York newspaper, the Herald, had editorialized that the power of central government could be used to avert panics. Secretary of the Treasury, Richardson's, esteem was considerable and most believed proof against liquidity problems. At the time, the U.S. was between experiments in central banking and absent such an agency with the hindrance of a gold-convertible currency, it was argued that the Treasury could issue any amount of liquidity to stave off any problem.
The ironies with and subsequent to the appearance of financial stringency in that fateful September of 1873 are worth reviewing. The stock market crashed through October such that Western Union plunged from $90 in mid-September to $46 at the end of October. The instruction is that even with instantaneous "cable transfers" a highly speculative financial market recorded yet another typical September to November catastrophe.
Then, despite more time for more assistance, the global bear market endured until 1878.
This was accompanied by a global business contraction that lasted to 1879, afflicting most standards of living.
In 1874, the New York Commercial Chronicle reviewed the damage and The Economist summarized the study, in part, with:
"The almost universal excitement of 1871-73 had thoroughly disorganized both labour and commerce. The working people became intoxicated and unrestrained under rapid advances of wages and rapid diminution of the hours of work [due to trade union power]; and the excessive profits of the coal, iron, shipping, and other trades introduced into ordinary business a degree of recklessness which can only end in mischief."
As with the previous great bubble that climaxed in 1825, the post-1873 contraction was lengthy. The U.K. was the senior economy and leading economists called the period from 1873 to 1895 as "The Great Depression".
The ultimate irony was that economists were still analyzing "The Great Depression" as to how it happened, or been ameliorated, or even avoided - well into the 1930s.
This review briefly covers a couple of reasons why the establishment stayed too long during the financial mania that climaxed in 1873, which was fourth in a series of new financial eras that began in the early 1700s.
From the peak of the last business cycle with the "old" and disturbing era of inflation, all six such eras ran for nine years. Then the data are available to the month, which is the case for the 1929 and 2000 examples - the duration was 116 months.
The other reasons for using the 1873 example is that the U.S. dollar was fiat and Europe suffered the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 - 1871. Within this, Paris suffered bombardment and siege that threatened starvation.
So there are some similarities to the recent financial mania as it is being played out in the U.S.
As to a couple of the reasons why the crowd partied too late in 1873, one was that the Secretary of the Treasury had immense powers to prevent contraction. At the height of the boom, the Herald editorialized:
"Power had been centralized in him to an extent not enjoyed by the Governor of the Bank of England. He can issue the paper representatives of a score or more of millions ... it is difficult to conceive of any condition or circumstances which he cannot control."
In so many words, risk had been eliminated. This was reinforced by the new instantaneous communications that would render immediate assistance, should any be needed.
Essentially, there are two ways of reviewing financial history - one, the more popular, is to rewrite with little use of quotation. The other, for full effect, directly employs rich and vivid quotation.
This brief review will close with another from the always positive Herald. This irony was in claiming that a panic was not possible. After the initial phase of the crash (on October 1) the cheerleading continued with:
"A crisis in our financial dealings has been met and passed without loss of confidence, without fear, largely without distrust. Here are growth, understanding, increased knowledge, firmer reliance. [We have] safe engineers in time of peril."
According to mainline economists, The Great Depression ran from 1873 to 1895. At the height of the 1929 mania, the popular consensus was that the old, destabilized, and discredited Treasury System had been replaced by the vastly superior Federal Reserve System - whereby nothing could go wrong.

It's said, with considerable justification, that having a hand in building a custom car that wins the Detroit Autorama's Ridler Award can make a career for a designer, fabricator or painter. In the case of this year's winner, a 1940 Ford coupe named Checkered Past, the car literally was the foundation of what is now surely to be a successful street rod shop. Owner Ron Cizek of Bennington, Nebraska, originally started building the car himself three-and-a-half years ago as tribute to the vehicle's drag-racing history.
After the build started, Cizek met Andy Leach, an Omaha area fabricator. Cizek was impressed enough with Leach's design talent and fabrication skills that the two of them decided to open up a shop, Cal Automotive Creations, in Omaha. Checkered Past is their first completed concept-to-finished-show-car project. The roof has been chopped and the hood and fenders re-contoured; a custom grille and hand-shaped running boards are only some of the body modifications. Once the body was finished, former Boyd Coddington painter Charlie Hutton sprayed the car at his Color Studio in a three-stage finish with red, gold and brown layers. The result is sort of a deep cranberry color. The pinstriping is also gold, as is the anodized finish on the custom wheels and the engine intake components. That's an appropriate color for a car that has won the 50th Ridler Award.
Under the hood is a flathead Ford V-8 assembled by Erik Hansen, whom Cizek brought into Cal Automotive Creations as their in-house engine builder. It features a GMC 4-71 supercharger, fuel injection and a custom intake manifold. Custom pans for the engine oil and transmission fluid adorn the underside of the car, which is as clean as the more visible parts and features its own two-toned and pinstriped paintwork. A custom bellhousing machined from billet connects the flathead with a six-speed Tremec supplied by Bowler. The car is suspended by Ride Tech up front and modified Heidt components in the back.
As mentioned, this was the Ridler's golden anniversary, and to commemorate it, many of the previous winning cars were on display. Many, perhaps most, of the early winners were owned, when they won, by their builders. In recent years, most of the winners have been so-called checkbook hot rods, with wealthy enthusiasts hiring top shelf shops to build them a Ridler contender. The phenomenon has resulted in the rat rod backlash. Somewhere in the middle, there's a happy medium and perhaps Checkered Past will start a trend back to owner-built entrants into major custom car competitions.
Because so many of the 80 cars in competition for the Ridler are indeed built by esteemed shops with very talented fabricators and craftsmen, the competition for the award was fierce. To my eyes, they all presented outstanding fabrication and painting skills and more than a little aesthetic talent. I didn't see very many just-because-they-could-doesn't-mean-they-had-to cars.
Winning a Ridler can set up a shop for life, so to speak, but even making it to the finals is a resume builder. Building or painting a Ridler Great 8 finalist can be a feather in any customizer's cap. As mentioned, all of the cars were built to a level that to my eyes surpasses the attention to detail associated with production cars like Rolls-Royce or Ferrari. Any one of the finalists would have been a worthy winner.
Here are the remaining Pirelli Great 8 Ridler Award finalists:
Mark and Ellen Willman's "Nailed" – 1956 Buick Two Door Post
Troy Trepanier and his crew from Rad Rides by Troy had three cars on display. Their Ridler Award hopeful, "Nailed," is a 1956 Buick built for Mark and Wllen Willman of Blue Grass, Iowa. The name is a reference to the 401-cu.in. Buick "nailhead" engine installed in this pristine clean build. It's full of trick details, but everything is done so neatly that it's easy to miss them. The Willmans are planning on using it as a pro tourer, so for the go there are the twin turbochargers that are so neatly installed that the engine compartment almost looks stock… almost. The engine also features a dry sump and a fuel injection system that was designed in house. That's for the go. For the show is a monochromatic graphic scheme with dark grey paint, embellished with both polished and brushed black nickel plating along with conventional nickel plating as well.
Alan and Loretta Woodall's "C2/SS" – 1965 Corvette Coupe
Considering that the only unchanged part on the original car is the roof panel, the fact that Autorama organizers mistakenly put this black Corvette in the "Mild Sports" category is a tribute to just how seamlessly all of the many modifications were done. The car was designed by Eric Bockmeyer; owner Alan Woodall of Cary, North Carolina, calls it an "understated and elegant car," and I agree. It's called the C2/SS and it's supposed to incorporate some European flair into the second generation 'Vette. In addition to the extensive body mods, there are custom wheels by Greening Auto Company, which built the car, and a full custom interior by Paul Atkins. As is de rigueur with modern custom Corvettes, there's an engine of the LS family under the hood, in this case the 505hp LS7 as fitted in the production Corvette Z06.
John Mayer's "Fearless" – 1935 Ford Phaeton
Fearless, what I thought was the "cleanest" design of the Great 8, is sort of owner built, since John Mayer is a customizer himself, operating Ogden Top & Trim Shop in Berwyn, Illinois. He was responsible for the overall design concept and he fabricated the interior. The body was fabricated by Willet Coachworks and it was finished and painted by Pete Sanchez of Custom Cars Unlimited. The engine was built by Rick Ceyer and the chassis was fabricated by former Ridler builder Tim O'Connell. Deeper colors seemed to be in this year, with a number of cranberry and root beer colored cars on the show floor. Fearless has great, simple lines. The steep rake of the windshield is cleverly duplicated in the angle of the instrument pod and the steering column, and since Mayer does convertible tops for a living, the car features both a retractable, hideaway ragtop and a very sleek removable hardtop. I also like the Woodliteish headlights.
Ken and Lynn Serusun's "Dad's '34" – 1934 Ford Tudor Sedan
Most cars that end up as Ridler contenders start out as an idea and then the owner tracks down the car that fits that idea. Not many contenders for the Ridler, particularly those based on 80-year-old Fords, can say that they are one-family cars. This 1934 Ford Tudor Sedan was bought by Ken Serusun's father brand new and it's been in the family ever since. In 2009, Serusun, of Sedona, Arizona, hired Bobby Anderson to start restoring the car and in the four years since Serusun pushed him to turn it into what has become a quite magnificent show car. Anderson literally did everything on the car, including the chopped and rolled roof, upholstery, paint and mechanical things like building the engine. As you can see with the other Great 8 Ridler finalists, most of the competing cars have had their work jobbed out to individual specialists. It's rare when a Ridler level car is completed by a single fabricator.
Christian Harker's "Archetype" – 1934 Ford Altered Street Coupe
The current criteria for judging the Ridler Award are creativity, engineering and workmanship. On those basis I'd say that Christian Harker's 1934 Ford Altered Street Coupe deserved consideration for the Ridler, even if I think the front end looks a little funny with it's extended underbite grille, trick strut suspension and insectoid headlight pods. If you note, the judging criteria don't include aesthetics and to be fair, those headlight pods, holding three different lamps and machined out of single pieces of billet, do show considerable creativity and workmanship. The independent front suspension with a single A-arm and a strut demonstrates some capable engineering. To qualify for the Ridler, a car has to be able to show rudimentary mechanical operation. In other words it has to run, steer, and stop well enough to get it on and off the show floor. Brian Mosbek, of Blaine, Minnesota, fabricated the car and to make sure the car handled competently on actual roads, he put 150 miles on it before final paint and assembly. The interior was done by Jim Griffin and Wheeler Racing Engines built the supercharged 427 Ford that powers this cleanly executed if aesthetically challenged coupe. On the other hand, it's got a set of velocity stacks sticking up through the hood. Every car looks better with velocity stacks. Also, you have to give props to a hot rodder who gives his car the literate name of "Archetype."
Buddy and Kim Schulz's "The Reaper" – 1972 Chevy Short Bed Pickup
When the Great 8 were announced, with two pickup trucks making the finals some observers thought this might be the the year a truck won the Ridler. It's been a while. Chuck Miller's Ford C-Cab Fire Truck won in 1968 and the Alexander Brothers' Top Banana, a roadster based on a 1923 Model T pickup, won the following year. Both of those trucks, by the way, were also on display at this year's Autorama, along with 23 other former winners to commemorate the Ridler's 50th anniversary. This 1972 Chevrolet pickup is owned by Buddy and Kim Schultz of Washington, Texas. Buddy is a speed freak: He's raced drag boats and Pro Modified cars, so it's not surprising that the truck has a 468-cu.in. big-block Chevy motor with a custom 8-71 blower by G&G Performance. Also custom is the full tube frame by Hot Rod Joe's, which also did the body and paint. Joe Brown's shop cut up and reassembled the entire front end, fenders, cowl, core support, grille and bumper into a single seamless piece. The front bumper alone was cut into 20 separate pieces before it was molded to the front clip. Brown's confidence in his work can be seen in the fact that the truck was painted gloss black, which can normally every flaw. Of course, like all the other Ridler finalists, the surfaces were flawless. The brown and black leather interior was done by Steve Holcomb with a Western feel, a nice touch, but I thought the red LED lighting used for illumination was a bit tacky.
Alan Beers's "Quicksilver" – 1957 Chevy Pickup
A fully fabricated bed to accommodate the custom 22-inch wheels is probably the least of the metalwork done on this fabulous 1957 Chevrolet pickup in a neat two-tone gray over silver, owned by Alan Beers of Owasso, Oklahoma. Built by Jason Smith of Hot Rod Garage, there's not a stock panel left on the truck. Among others, body modifications include a smoothed and reshaped firewall, custom inner fenders, pancaked and reshaped hood, a three-inch chopped top, the cowl was filled and moved forward, the front bumper was narrowed and reshaped, custom tail light bar, hand-formed tailgate and roll pan along with a full belly pan. Special attention was paid to the glass, with reshaped windshield and back glass openings. Those reshaped openings were flush mounted with a custom windshield and backlite. There are abundant mechanical mods as well. The 540-cu.in. big-block Chevrolet engine is fed with a Crower fuel injection unit topped by footlong velocity stacks that has been converted to electronic fuel injection.
Every single one of the Great 8 finalists for the Ridler Award demonstrated outstanding fabrication skills. Each one in its own way met the award's three criteria: creativity, engineering and workmanship, particularly workmanship. Rob Cizek's Checkered Past earned a well deserved victory but I don't envy the task that the judges had in picking it out from the other seven great finalists.
Ronnie Schreiber, a native Detroiter, spent two decades working for DuPont Automotive. He edits Cars In Depth, a realistic perspective on cars and car culture and the original 3D car site. If the 3D thing freaks you out or if you think it's a conspiracy to get you to buy yet another new TV set, don't worry, all the photo and video players used at the site have mono options.
UPDATE (16.April 2013): Checkered Past took another win this month: Street Rod d'Elegance at Goodguys Del Mar.
"Nailed" was my favorite of the Great Eight but I realized it would be a stretch for a fifties post car to take home the Ridler. The display of former Ridler winners was fantastic but the grassroots "Autorama Extreme" in the basement was the highlight of the event for me.
Speaking of the basement at Cobo, did you check out Al Grooms' F1 pickup turned into a midengine roadster? It's brilliantly insane, right up your alley. He took a Y block Ford V8 and manual transmission, turned them around so the output shaft points forward. That shaft terminates in a chain drive that runs a driveshaft back to the rear end.
yup,checkbook hotrod's beautiful but do you dare drive 'em for fear of a chip in the paint?
I wonder how much that thing cost?
They do enjoy them after a few years of the show rounds .
I realize to each his own, but this whole genre seems tawdry to me – like Lady Gaga's version of auto restoration.
These only have to have "rudimentary mechanical operation"?
Seriously? Yet folks spend acres of money, ruin Grandpa's '34 Ford chasing a trophy?
I'm a little surprised there isn't someone middle-aged and past their prime in a bikini draped across the hoods of these.
This seems beneath Hemmings to me.
Yes these cars are not restored, they are customs.
However the level of the builds rivals or exceeds that of Pebble Beach cars.
We are talking about literally thousands of man hours, and Seven Figure build costs.
The level of craftsman ship and attention to detail is impressive.
The fit and finish of a Ridler or AMBR contender is insane.
So while Hemmings dosen't cover these cars all the time, it is in no way below them.
Hemmings is a magazine for collector cars. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who would not consider these collectible.
It wasn't eligible for the Ridler because it's been shown before, but on display at the Autorama was Chip Foose's "Eldorod" '49 Cadillac, which he recently redid (he designed the original version while working for Boyd Coddington) for Paul and Chris Andrews. Last year at Pebble Beach, the Andrews' 1928 Mercedes-Benz 680S Saoutchik bodied Torpedo won Best of Show. They've also shown Packards and Duesenbergs. If they have a car at Eyes On Design or the Concours of America I'll ask them if they think a post about the Ridler competition is out of place here.
Scott. Good comments. Totally agree.
Well said, Scott. Every time I see a restorod or hot rod, I only hope that Plan B for that car was a trip to the scrap yard.
Just my opinion.
The cars are all great, but you guys need to get yourself a better photographer.
Mr. Viskovic,
Hemmings has some of the best automotive photographers in the business. These photos were most likely borrowed from the "CarsInDepth.com" website, not taken by Hemmings.
Sorry for the less than ideal photos. I'm just a point and shoot guy and the Canon Powershots in the DIY 3D rig that I use have limited manual settings. The Autorama is particularly hard to shoot. Using auto settings, unless you use additional lighting, using a flash in a big room ends up with only the closest part of the car getting exposed well. Shutting off the flash gets better images of the car but everything bright in the background will wash out. The NAIAS, in the same building, isn't a problem because the individual cars are so well lit. I've asked a professional stereographer that I know, Neil Nathanson, who does a lot of automotive work, for advice on getting the best results considering what I have to work with. I'll try to get better photos in the future. Any tips from photographers are appreciated. In manual mode I can change the ISO setting, change the metering mode, and adjust exposure compensation up or down but don't have control of actual shutter speeds.
Well, that explains why the photos look like they were shot with a 'point and shoot', because they were! 🙂
If you bump the ISO up a little, it shouldn't be too much of a problem (quality wise) if you're just shooting stuff for the web, but the best advice would be to get some kind of tripod to steady the camera.
I know exactly the challenges you're faced with. Many venues for indoor car shows are less than ideal when it comes to lighting, and sometimes the 'show lighting' doesn't help much either because the lights shine into the camera or create 'hot spots' on the paint.
Sometimes with the point and shoot stuff, if you use some kind of 'Program' mode, you can at least adjust your aperture to get a decent depth of field, but that's when you'll need the tripod to handle the slower shutter speeds.
When it comes to adjusting the exposure compensation, you'll probably only really need to that on very dark cars where it will either blow out the background completely or make the car so dark you won't be able to pick out any details (depending on what the camera metered on).
Best improvements will come from taking more photos.
How can a article written about a car competition be "beneath" a publication? They advertise rust buckets to Rolls Royces. Just sounds like pure jealousy to me…
I'm so glad to see that there's a Ford powerplant in a Ford car. It seems like more often than not, the Chevy smallblock is planted in most "custom" Fords.
I agree about preferring vehicles bone-stock, or, restored to original specs, but these are works of art not unlike a painting that a select few folks enjoy seeing at a museum. You can't swim in a river painted on a canvas, and just because it started out life as a car or truck doesn't mean that it can't evolve into someone's work of art for show only.
-devil's advocate scotty g..
Great story for the car, from a drag racer to the 50th Ridler Award. It's hard to imagine the work that had to be done to undo the modifications done to make a drag racer into what it is today. This is what is lost by many when they look at some of these cars. The attention to detail and master craftsmanship used to build them seem lost on the "haters".
I love the color scheme on Checkered Past, just not the gold anodized wheels or supercharger. Kudos to the guys at Cal Automotive Creations and Charlie Hutton for a job well done.
Ronnie, THANKS SO MUCH for showing these absolute masterpieces!!! Cord Pilot, I'm with you 100%, these builds are almost unbelievable and richly deserve ALL the accolades possible….
Why don't they just nail these things up on a wall somewhere with a tacky gold frame around them. I certainly appreciate the high level of craftsmanship but these just do nothing for me.
To my mind, "Checkerd Past", "C2/SS" (although it needs a better name) and "Fearless" were the 3 finalists for the Ridler. Of those, "Fearless" was the most creative and stunning car at the event. It was not a 7-figure build. In fact, I doubt it was even a 6-figure build. John Mayer has considerable talent in the interior business, but on the exterior fabrication side, also. My guess is that he fabricated almost all of the special aluminum pieces himself. No doubt "Checkered Past" is a deserved winner. But, I have to wonder what was wrong with "Fearless" that it didn't end up with the award.
[…] bubbletop, Andy Leach and Cal Automotive Creations (which also built the 2013 Ridler Award-winning 1940 Ford coupe, Checkered Past) took home this year's Builder's Award. Leach and his family were on hand to […]

text: Hi all, In the near future, we will be attempting to collect MAD data on an Se-containing protein and wish to do so in the 'mirror' geometry as opposed to inverse beam. Our crystals are space group P21 with unit cell dimensions: 52, 160, 64, beta=95 degrees. The crystal morphology suggests agreement with these parameters as typical crystals are about 0.4 x 0.15 x 0.10 mm. (Though of course that does not ensure agreement) Unfortunately, alignment will be done without the aid of a goniostat. Using standard Hampton cryo-loops, the crystals tend to go into the loop so that the long crystal edge is aligned with the spindle axis. In this orientation, DENZO auto-indexing can often produce a crystal roty near 0 degrees. We are presuming that since this a monoclinic cell, we would wish to align the b* axis in the beam. Is there any relationship between the alignment of b* and crystal roty in DENZO? In any event, I would appreciate any practical information that anyone has to offer. Please reply to chris at crystal.biochem.queensu.ca Thanks in advance, Chris -- -------------------------------- Chris Hosfield Queen's University Kingston, ON --------------------------------

AbstractA chemical equilibrium model was developed to predict the product composition of a biomass gasification system using highly preheated air and steam. The advantages and limitations of this system were discussed from a thermodynamic viewpoint. The first and second law analyses have been conducted for various preheating temperatures and steam/biomass mass (S/B) ratios. The results demonstrated that the chemical energy output of the produced syngas is highest when the S/B ratio is 1.83 under the conditions used in this study. However, higher S/B ratios have a negative effect on the energy and exergy efficiencies. Higher preheating temperatures increase the chemical energy of the produced syngas and the two efficiencies. The peak values for the energy and exergy efficiencies are 81.5% and 76.2%, respectively. Based on the calculated limitation values, where the highest chemical energy (exergy) of the produced syngas and maximum achievable efficiencies are determined, a thermodynamically possible operating region is suggested.

Facebook Suffers Outage Issues
Did you, like us, come into office this morning and tried loading Facebook on your desktop only to find that nothing shows up? Or if it did, it was unbearably slow?
Well, according to reports and tweets, while the rest of Singapore sleeps, Facebook has been suffering outage issues for the past couple of hours. At the time of writing, we still had problems accessing Facebook. And on the occasions that we could, nothing would load. Some users, however, have no problems at all accessing Facebook, so it appears that this only affects a portion of users.
Facebook hasn't commented on the cause of this outage.
Facebook has had a pretty impressive track record for reliability and rarely encounters outages, so unsurprisingly, this has come as a shock to some users. Nevertheless, we expect Facebook to be up soon.

text: A single piece of rawhide was used to make the world's first pair of shoes, and get this - platform shoes were once worn to signify the status of the ancient Greeks. Perhaps one of the most surprising facts about shoes is that men wore heels before women did! According to a poll conducted in 2003, …the type of shoes a person wears says something about their salary, but thanks to online footwear retailers like Vans, showing off quality manufactured shoes is affordable for anyone. This American shoe manufacturer was established in 1966, and has taken the world by storm ever since. Originally, the shoes were identified by numbers, with the most popular being #44. What began as a rubber company has expanded to what can only be described as one of the world's biggest footwear competitors. Vans shoes, accessories and apparel is now available to purchase worldwide, whether it is in-store or online. It isn't just the trendiness of these shoes that makes them a favoured choice among surfers, skaters, BMX riders and fashion-forward individuals, but also the craftsmanship that goes into each and every pair. Designed with padded sides that have actually saved the lives of skaters over the years, Vans shoes are a worthy investment for any footwear fanatic. Buying through the website provides shoppers with the opportunity to open an account and purchase shoes from the UK's largest collection. The free delivery and returns is a bonus, as is the fact that a free sticker comes with every purchase. » more

KODIAK (AP) -- Once again, the launch of a rocket from Kodiak is being delayed.
Monday evening's launch was put off due to solar flares that affect sensitive electronic equipment. The launch had been tentatively reset for Tuesday, but that plan was again scrubbed because of more solar flares.
Officials at the Kodiak Launch Facility said Thursday is the earliest date for another try.
In recent days the launch was canceled because of weather and problems with the radar that would track the Athena One rocket.
Before that, the schedule was affected by the nationwide air-grounding that kept technicians from arriving on Kodiak Island.
Project Kodiak Star is a joint operation of NASA, Lockheed Martin and the Department of Defense. It involves the launch of four satellites into orbit.
It would be the fourth launch from the Kodiak rocket complex but the first orbital launch.

It seems Verizon Wireless had a crack at being the exclusive carrier for the Apple iPhone but turned down the chance after taking a look at Steve Jobs' demands. USA Today has a story that says Verizon, the No. 2 cellular operator, walked away from the opportunity because Apple was calling for too much control over how it sold to customers and how it would service their needs.
That was one of the big questions that came up when the phone was announced at Macworld. Apple is known for its secrecy and love of control over its devices. So how would it work with carriers, who are normally used to dictating the terms with phone manufacturers?
At first it seemed like Apple went with Cingular (now being rebranded AT&T) because of its relationship starting with the ROKR, the first iTunes phone.
But it seems like Apple was first interested in Verizon, according to Jim Gerace, a Verizon Wireless vice president. "We said no. We have nothing bad to say about the Apple iPhone. We just couldn't reach a deal that was mutually beneficial," he said.
What was the holdup? It appears Apple wanted to dictate where the phone was sold, meaning that it would likely appear in only Apple stores and Verizon retail shops. But that wouldn't work with Verizon's big-box partners like Wal-Mart or Best Buy, Gerace said.
And Apple wanted to be the one to decide how and when to repair customer devices, leaving Verizon out of the loop. That's a tough condition because it leaves the carrier's relationship with its customers at the mercy of Apple's decisions.
It appears that at least some of the conditions changed a little when the deal went to Cingular. Glenn Lurie, national president of distribution for Cingular, said at CES that Cingular customer service representatives were being cross-trained to handle complaints about the iPhone, though it's still unclear if Apple still retains the sole right to replace or repair broken devices.
I think it's interesting that Apple even considered Verizon. The early thinking was Cingular made the most sense because it was the largest carrier in the U.S. and ran on GSM, a cell phone technology used by about 70 percent of the world, which would make international distribution easier. But if it's as Verizon's Gerace said, Apple wasn't as interested in tying itself to GSM as it was in just finding a strong partner. It's still has one in Cingular, which has been largely hands off on the development of the iPhone. But it also raises the possibility that the iPhone could have come in a CDMA flavor, which is what Verizon uses.
At the very least, it means there are some Verizon Wireless customers who might be sad to hear that the iPhone won't be coming to them anytime soon. According to USA today, Cingular's U.S. exclusivity agreement runs five years.

THE Wright brothers can take credit for designing the first airplane and its engine, but they could not have envisioned how their invention would change after electronics were added to the package. Early airplanes relied entirely on pilots who could see where they were going, but today's pilots monitor electronic systems that do the flying for them. The airplane has taken a century to evolve, but it has reached full flower -- thanks, mostly, to the development of equipment that frees it from the limitations of human senses.
Those limitations first became apparent as soon as the airplane was put to work. Airborne commerce required dependable performance, with departures and arrivals on schedule. Airmail pilots truly flew by the seat of their pants in all but the most miserable weather, relying on their wits and knowledge of their routes to survive.
Many did not survive, however, because it turned out that a pilot is easily fooled into thinking that down is up. Without a visual reference (or an instrument that acts as a substitute), humans become disoriented in minutes. The airmail pilots followed light beacons, railroad tracks, roads and rivers, and when they neared their destination, looked for steeples, rooftop markings, smokestacks and holes in the clouds.
On Sept. 24, 1929, James H. Doolittle, a first lieutenant in the United States Army Air Corps who eventually led the raid on Japan after Pearl Harbor, climbed into a Consolidated NY-2 Husky biplane at Mitchel Field on Long Island. He covered the cockpit's windows with canvas, which blinded him to the outside world. Using a combination of precision flight instruments and a rudimentary radio, he flew around the field and landed, completing the first blind flight and landing. Two thin metal reeds, mounted in a box inside the instrument panel, vibrated in response to a radio beam that was transmitted from the ground. A year later, the Cleveland Municipal Airport began using radio to communicate with airliners.
Doolittle's flight demonstrated the value of a fixed radio beam in space as a reference line. Later, a second radio beam was added, which created a three-dimensional path through space. Called the instrument landing system, it was switched on for airline service in 1947, and guided an aircraft to touchdown on a runway. Eventually, radio beams were used to create a national network of airways to link major cities and define safe corridors through high terrain.
At about the same time that radio aids to navigation were being refined by engineers, devices that could automate the pilot's role -- automatic pilots -- were developed. Originally, these were mechanical systems that simply kept the wings level. Eventually, the radio signals that provided navigation information were linked to automatic pilots so that airplanes could follow a course without a crew's constant attention on long-distance flights. Today, automatic control systems can navigate a plane in all weather and land safely, untouched by human hands.Continue reading the main story
Digital computers have magnified the brainpower of the electronic airplane. These days, two well-trained pilots can operate a jumbo jet by monitoring video displays and entering commands by pushing buttons. And there are unpiloted airplanes that conduct complex military missions, taking off, flying staggering distances and landing completely under automatic control.
The Wrights get most of the credit for inventing the airplane, but it is difficult, if not impossible, to attribute the enormous contribution of electronics in aviation to any individual. Doolittle flew with an instrument panel that may have had dozens of minds behind it, but he was the pilot. It can be argued that the jet engine brought the airplane to its apotheosis, and that is true of traditional performance measurements like speed and altitude. But performance means little if airplanes can't fly through clouds, take off and land on a schedule and find their way on a dark, stormy night.
Electronics addressed a problem that could not have been satisfied any other way. Humans are not born with sensors that orient them to the horizon, magnetic north or a runway's alignment. No pilot can fly unaided through clouds to a precise point in space. Fortunately, humans are born with an imagination, innate inventiveness and an itch to solve knotty problems. After all, we are not born with wings, either.Continue reading the main story

ELECTION 2012: Will Voting Machine Failure Affect the Final Count?
New Report Reviews States' Readiness to Handle Voting Machine Problems on Election Day
Reveals best and least prepared states, and recommends improvements
Tele-Press Conference Call Wednesday 12 Noon ET
Washington, DC - With millions of Americans expected to confront in November an array of voting technologies, including online voting, experts from Verified Voting, the Rutgers Law School Constitutional Litigation Clinic and Common Cause on Wednesday will release a new report, "Counting Votes 2012: A State-by-State Look at Voting Technology Preparedness," reviewing how states are prepared to respond to voting system failures.
High-profile elections in the past decade repeatedly have been decided by razor thin margins. The 2000 presidential race was decided by 537 votes in Florida; the Washington State gubernatorial race in 2004 by 129 votes, and a Minnesota Senate race in 2008 by just 312 votes. Voting machines fail in every election. In the 2008 election, more than 1,800 voting machine problems were reported nationwide. Problems include machines that won't start, memory cards that can't be read, mis-tallied votes, lost votes and more. The U.S. Constitution and every state constitution, as well as statutes throughout the country, require that every vote be counted as cast.
The report highlights strengths and vulnerabilities in each state - based on their contingency plans if machines malfunction; whether electronic votes come with backup paper records; whether vote tallies are checked and rechecked as votes are aggregated, and whether states conduct robust audits of election results. This tele-press call will detail the report's findings and recommendations, detailing how election officials and voters can help assure that all votes are counted.

Ex-Apple chip exec joins AMD
by Fudzilla staff on02 August 2012
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Jim Keller is back on board
AMD announced that Jim Keller has joined its ranks as of Wednesday. Keller is a 53-year-old veteran who already worked for AMD back in the nineties and early 2000s, but he spent the last few years working on Apple chips.
Keller joins AMD as corporate VP and chief CPU architect and he will report to AMD CTO Mark Papermaster, himself a former Apple exec.
In a statement Papermaster said Keller is one of the most widely respected and sought-after innovators in the industry. Papermaster believes Keller will make a very strong addition to AMD's engineering team and he will bring sine much needed low-power design expertise to the table.
Interestingly, in July Apple hired AMD chip designer John Bruno, who was the last name in a long list of execs and engineers who bid farewell to AMD. It's nice to see that AMD is still capable of attracting talent.

Anaplasmosis: a re-emerging cattle disease in California
More than 150 people recently attended the 2nd Annual Beef Improvement and Low Stress Cattle Handling Seminar at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. The goal of the seminar is to support the beef ranching community in California by providing information on how to improve cattle handling and welfare, and to give an overview of current beef industry related issues that occur in the state. The seminar was a collaborative effort between the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital – Livestock Medicine and Surgery Service, the Food Animal and Reproduction (FARM) Club and the Behavior Medicine Club. Veterinary students, the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital and the UC Cooperative Extension all provided support.
From the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital – Livestock Medicine and Surgery Service, Dr. Anita Varga gave a presentation on lameness in beef cattle and the economic impact of lameness on cattle productivity. Dr. Jeffrey Stott, a professor at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, provided recent updates on the organism that causes foothill abortion – a bacteria carried in the Pajaroello tick. When the tick spreads the disease to a heifer or cow, the infection will lead to late term abortions and delivery of weak calves. Lynn Locatelli, '94 was the key speaker of the seminar and held two talks on low stress cattle handling tips and techniques. As a veterinarian, Locatelli has developed low stress cattle handling as a career and trains personnel all over the country in how to move and handle cattle within their operations.
At the end of the all-day event, Dr. John Maas with Veterinary Medicine Extension and UC Cooperative Extension, provided an overview of Anaplasmosis in beef cattle. Maas gave a couple of challenging case examples, which led to an active discussion and gave participants an even better understanding of the current recommendations regarding treatment, testing, and vaccination of cattle that have been infected, or are at risk of being infected.
For individuals unable to attend, Maas has provided a review of this cattle disease and what steps can be taken to prevent losses to a herd.
What is Anaplasmosis? This is a cattle disease caused by an organism called Anaplasma marginale. This organism is a rickettsia—halfway between the viruses and the bacteria. It cannot grow without living cells (like a virus) but is susceptible to tetracyclines (like the bacteria). The disease, anaplasmosis, is caused when the infected cattle react to the agent and remove their own infected red blood cells. This reaction causes a severe anemia and often death.
What breeds are susceptible? All cattle are susceptible to infection by A. marginale. Also, deer, elk, and other wild ruminants are susceptible to becoming infected and can act as natural reservoirs of the agent. Cattle of any age can become infected; however, young cattle do not become ill, as will be explained later.
How do cattle become infected? A number of ruminants such as cattle, deer, and elk can be carriers of the anaplasmosis agent. These species can carry the agent all or most of their lives and serve as a reservoir for infection of other animals. The transfer of the agent from a carrier animal to a susceptible animal can occur by a number of routes. One of the most common ways is via ticks. In California, we have a number of ticks that transmit the anaplasmosis agent and are extremely effective at passing the agent to new, susceptible hosts. Additionally, transmission of a small amount of blood from a carrier animal to a susceptible animal can transmit anaplasmosis. So insects such as horse flies are capable of transmission. Even larger culprits in this type of transmission are humans. Ear-tagging instruments, tattoo tools, needles, ear implant tools, castrating instruments, dehorning instruments, etc., can all easily transmit the agent. So we can also be important in the spread of this disease.
What happens when an animal becomes infected? If the animal is a calf under the age of 12 months, virtually nothing is noticed. The calf undergoes an incubation period of about 45 to 90 days, has a very mild illness, which is rarely noticed, and becomes a carrier for life. Cattle that become infected between 1 and 2 years of age become ill after the incubation period, with severity increasing with age. Cattle over 2 years of age become very ill and approximately 50 percent die unless treated. The older the animal and the better shape they are in--the sicker they get! Usually, once the cattle become infected, and if they survive, they stay infected for life. They are "immune carriers"-they do not get sick; but, act a reservoir for other susceptible animals. Therefore, being an infected carrier protects the animal from becoming sick if re-infected by ticks or other means.
What determines if a herd will have problems with anaplasmosis? The location of the herd is important in determining whether or not problems will occur. The cattle and deer that might be reservoirs and the ticks that naturally transmit the disease are the primary factors. For example, herds raised in the central valley of California on permanent pasture, with no ticks, no deer, and no carrier cattle have essentially no risk of anaplasmosis. These cattle are free of the disease, have no immunity (unless vaccinated), and are totally susceptible to infection and disease. If these cattle are introduced to oak foothill pastures, especially during a bad tick year, they will become infected, get sick, and 50 percent will die if not treated.
When cattle are raised in the coastal foothills, Sierra foothills, and many mountain areas of California, they become infected early in life, have no clinical disease when infected (because they are young), and are "immune carriers." If new, susceptible cattle come into these areas, they are at risk. If these carrier cattle go to the valley pastures, they may act as sources of infection, especially via blood transfer (dehorning instruments, ear taggers, horse fly transmission, etc.). Many cattle herds are between these two extremes and it is common for a percentage of the adult animals to become infected and sick every year. These are herds that need routine vaccination to prevent losses. It is common for bulls that come from anaplasmosis-free areas to be very susceptible when introduced into areas where anaplasmosis is common. Remember, when bulls become infected and are successfully treated (do not die) they are often sterile for many months.
Has the disease picture changed over the past years? Yes, it has. As the mountain lions have decimated the black-tailed deer and mule deer populations or driven the deer into the valleys where they might be safer, the anaplasmosis "picture" has changed. These deer are important reservoirs of anaplasmosis and as they have been forced out of certain areas the chance for young cattle to become naturally infected has lessened and herds in these areas are experiencing more clinical cases of anaplasmosis in older cattle. Likewise, as deer (infected with anaplasmosis) are moving into valley areas, more cattle in these herds are getting sick with anaplasmosis.
What can ranchers do to prevent anaplasmosis in their herd? This depends on the risk of anaplasmosis in your operation. For those "valley" herds, the only real risk is introduction of carrier cattle and transfer of blood (horse flies, dehorners, tattoo instruments, castration instruments, etc.) from the new cattle to your native, susceptible animals. For foothill or mountain herds, you have to be sure incoming cattle (cows, heifers or bulls) are from anaplasmosis areas or have been vaccinated. For herds intermediate in risk, you will want to review your vaccination program with your veterinarian.
What vaccines are available? In California we had two vaccine options. The first is a live vaccine available from Poultry Health Laboratories and is called Anavac®. It is safe and effective when given to young cattle (4 to 11 months of age). The cattle become infected with the vaccine strain of Anaplasma and are "immune carriers." This method of preventing disease is basically a controlled infection. If this vaccine (Anavac®) is given to older cattle, they will become sick and could die, just as with the natural disease. Vaccination of mature bulls with Anavac® can cause death loss or infertility.
A killed vaccine is also available in California from the California Cattlemen's Association. When cattle are vaccinated with this killed product (2 doses are needed initially), they develop enough immunity to prevent illness when they become infected. This vaccine does not prevent against infection by the anaplasma organism. When the vaccinated cattle are infected by the Anaplasma marginale organism under field conditions, they go through a normal incubation period of about 45-90 days, have a slight drop in their red blood cell count, and remain normal in appearance. These vaccinated cattle do not become ill; but, they do carry the field strain Anaplasma organism after they become infected. Most infected cattle then carry the organism for their entire life. They are "immune carriers". That is to say, they are "immune" to becoming sick from the agent; but, are carriers of the agent. If you were to take a small amount of blood from one of these "immune carriers" and put it into a susceptible cow, that cow would become infected and sick. These two vaccines are very important. If you purchase bulls or heifers for replacements, be sure these cattle are protected. If the cattle were vaccinated with the live vaccine (Anavac®) as calves and not fed tetracyclines in the feedlot, they will be immune carriers and safe from getting sick. If they were fed tetracyclines (a common procedure for bulls being grown in a feedlot), they will lose they immunity after 1-2 years if they do not become re-infected and therefore could become susceptible again. If the cattle are over a year of age, be sure they were vaccinated with two doses of the killed investigational vaccine. They should be protected against becoming ill when naturally infected on your ranch.
Where can ranchers get these vaccines? The live vaccine, Anavac® is available through Poultry Health Laboratories, in Davis, California. It must be shipped on dry ice or in liquid nitrogen. Their phone number is (530) 753-5881. The killed vaccine is available through California Cattlemen's Association, at (916) 444-0845. This vaccine can be shipped via normal refrigeration.
Anaplasmosis is a very complicated disease and the need to vaccinate will vary from herd to herd. Particularly important is the protection of susceptible cattle coming into an "anaplasmosis area." Make sure that when you buy bulls or replacement heifers they are protected. Either they are raised in anaplasmosis areas or they have been vaccinated and are protected. This is doubly important for bulls, because if they get sick and don't die, they can be sterile. Spend some time with your veterinarian to prevent this disease from affecting your herd.
Much of this material was previously published by Dr. John Maas in California Cattlemen's Magazine in June 2011. Additional information about the seminar was provided by Dr. Anita Varga.

Cannabis Science Presents Newest Case Photos of the 3rd Critical Squamous Cell Carcinoma Self-Medicated Cannabis Patient with Clear Continued Improvement
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 23, 2012 - Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCBB:CBIS.OB - News) a pioneering U.S. biotech company developing pharmaceutical cannabis (marijuana) products is monitoring the outstanding progress of the 3rd Self-Medicated Cannabis Patient with Clear Continued Improvement. This self-medicating patient has what his doctors describe as the worst case of squamous cell carcinoma the had ever seen. This patient's tumors, while resistant to conventional treatment, continues to make obvious improvement with the use of cannabis extracts.
Figure 1 shows the tumor from the last treatment on the left side of the patient's head, scabbing over and healing. A cavernous opening began to form, and the roof and sides of the tumor have degraded and fallen off, as shown in Figure 2. Figures 3 and 4 show the tumor from above, and it is clear that the tumor continues to degrade.
On the right side of the patient's head, the tumor is also slowly healing from the application of the cannabis-based extracts. The last three pictures show the absorption and killing of the tumor by the extract.
You can view these graphic photos on the Cannabis Science website www.cannabisscience.com and click the button "View Images of 3rd Self-Medicated Patient & His Apparent Success."
