Pantamuzik proudly presents…
Various – 10 Years of Pantamuzik EP
Featuring Jay Haze, Argenis Brito, Monopolar, Signal Deluxe, Pablo Decoder, and more!
ARTIST: Various
TITLE: 10 Years of Pantamuzik EP
LABEL: Pantamuzik
RELEASE DATE: December 26th, 2010
Free download of "Miguel Toro's 'Kurduca (Piek Remix)'"
Miguel Toro-Kurduca (Piek Remix) by extramusicnew
Humberto Polar (Pantamuzik founder, member of Monopolar):
'When I started Pantamuzik, back in 2000, no digital music downloads were sold at all, vinyl distribution was an insane investment in Latin America (still is) and nobody djed with CDs.
So, if you were a musician as I was, trying to establish an ethos about creating a real Latin-American breed of electronic music that didn't sound like an idiot putting some congas on top of some loops, you had to be really patient and in good terms with your own suicidal tendencies, financially speaking.
Maybe Argentina and Chile had a bit more presence in the alternative dancefloors due to talented musicians and DJs that made a name in Europe such as Franco Cinelli, Pier Bucci or Ricardo Villalobos. But if you were a Peruvian, living in Colombia and heading to Mexico as I was, things looked much tougher.
But here we are. As we said in the very beginning, the world doesn't need another dance music label, especially the Third World. But we did it anyway.
Eight CDs and 15 digital releases in a decade are not a lot, but they speak clearly about how carefully we choose the music we release. Whenever we believe in an artist or a track, we support that music with all our heart, playing it, spreading it no matter how difficult that is nowadays, in a polytonal world where everybody is able to make himself heard, for the good or the bad.
Now we live in Mexico City. Razz, another ex-pat, from Argentina joined me a couple of years ago and we spend long hours listening to demos from Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Venezuela… sometimes we DJ our catalog in clubs in the city, the country, the continent – and we can't help smiling when we realize that hundreds of people dance frenetically to this music we Latin-Americans love and understand. It's very likely that no German or UK label would ever listened to the dudes we release, maybe yes… anyway, we are here for the love of our music and our culture and we hope we can survive many more years doing exactly the same.

Skype users who use an iPad for the majority of their calls will want to grab the latest update to the iOS version of the app, which was rolled out on Monday.
New features in version 4.5 include the automatic reconnection of dropped calls when your Wi-Fi or mobile reception is poor and the ability to add funds to your Skype account directly from the app.
In addition, a new sidebar showing your recent conversations can be pulled up with a simple swipe from the left side of the display, and a bug has been fixed to ensure that one-to-one chats are now listed in the correct order.
The reassurance of automatic reconnection should certainly help to reduce incidents of inadvertent swearing outbursts when your call drops in an area with a sub-par signal, while iPad owners who regularly use Skype on their tablet to send SMS texts or make calls to landline numbers and mobiles may be pleased with the addition of the ability to top up accounts within the app instead of having to switch to a web browser. However, this service is currently only available to users in the US, UK, France, Sweden and Estonia.
The full changelog is provided below:
Skype automatically reconnects a dropped call when your wifi or mobile network reception is poor
– Add money to your Skype account directly from the app to send SMS or call mobiles and landlines worldwide. Currently available in United States, United Kingdom, France, Sweden and Estonia.
– A simple swipe from the left of the screen opens your recent conversations in a new sidebar
– General fixes
– One-to-one chats now appear in the correct order

MADISON, Wis.—Gov. Scott Walker plans to deliver his budget address to the state Legislature on Feb. 20.
Walker notified the state Senate on Wednesday that he intends to deliver his budget on that date.
Walker has been talking about some parts of his two-year spending plan for weeks, but has not revealed many details. On Tuesday he said he hopes to include an income tax cut of around $340 million over two years.
Once Walker delivers his budget to the Legislature, Republicans in control will convene public hearings, discuss the plan and make changes before bringing it to a vote most likely in June.

Disbursement schedule for financial aid
Disbursement of financial aid funds begins following the drop/add period each quarter. The following information is important to the disbursement of financial aid, is in compliance with federal and state regulations and is subject to change.
To be eligible for financial aid funds, students must be enrolled in a degree program and must be enrolled at least half-time (some exceptions may apply). Before disbursement of financial aid funds, eligibility is reviewed and necessary adjustments are made based on enrollment, class level, and program-specific eligibility requirements. Program specific requirements include:
- Attendance in all registered classes is verified before financial aid is disbursed.
- SCAD academic and achievement scholarships are prorated by the number of credit hours in which the student is enrolled, require a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 for undergraduate students or 3.25 for graduate students, and may be subject to reduction if living off-campus.
- HOPE scholarship (Georgia state aid) is prorated by the number of credit hours in which the student is enrolled through the drop/add period.
- GTEG (Georgia state aid) requires full-time enrollment.
- Federal grants are prorated by enrollment and may require half-time enrollment.
- Federal loans require at least half-time enrollment. All required documentation, including FAFSA results, must be completed and approval received by SCAD before the loan(s) is disbursed. Specific program requirements include the following.
- Federal Direct Loan: acceptance through MySCAD; master promissory note; entrance loan counseling.
- Graduate PLUS Loan: positive credit check; approved loan application and master promissory note; entrance loan counseling.
- Parent PLUS Loan: positive credit check; approved loan application and master promissory note.
- Detailed information is available at studentloans.gov. Loan proceeds are reduced by the required government fee. Students without access to the Internet can schedule an appointment with their adviser to complete loan entrance counseling and discuss the paper application process.
- Alternative loans (or private loans) require a positive credit check and generally require at least half-time enrollment (exceptions are program-specific).
Adjustments made when funds are disbursed, or anytime thereafter, can create a balance due on the student's account which is immediately payable.
Funds are credited to the student account to pay for educational charges incurred. Parent Plus loans are the last funds to be credited to the student's account and credit balances resulting from Parent Plus loan proceeds are refunded to the parent borrower or student if authorization is received.

UH Manoa architecture professor named to national list of most admired educatorsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Posted: May 27, 2009Raymond Yeh, a professor and former dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's School of Architecture, has been named one of the nation's Most Admired Educators of 2009 by DesignIntelligence, the official publication of the Design Futures Council.
Yeh is among the 26 educators and education administrators in the U.S. who best exemplify excellence in design education leadership, according to DesignIntelligence.

Yeh led UH Mānoa to offer the nation's first, landmark professional doctorate degree in architecture with a unique Asia Pacific program focus, before leaving the deanship in 2007. When he was inducted into the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects in 1988, he became one of its youngest members.

A substance abuse counselor accused of crashing into a pedestrian while driving drunk, and then weaving two miles through Torrance with the fatally injured man stuck in her front windshield, was charged Tuesday with murder and other felony offenses.
Sherri Lynn Wilkins, 51, did not enter a plea during a scheduled arraignment in Torrance court, and instead was granted a continuance until Dec. 18. She is being held on $2.25 million bail, and faces life in prison if convicted because this would be her third felony.
Wilkins allegedly struck Phillip Moreno as he walked across Torrance Boulevard near Madrid Avenue at 11:25 p.m. Saturday, authorities said. Moreno, 31, was walking home from a night with friends at The Branch Office bar when he was hit so forcefully that his pants flew off, police told relatives.
Moreno's friends and family crowded Judge Thomas Sokolov's courtroom Tuesday for the scheduled arraignment. Later, they described strong feelings of gratitude toward rescue workers mixed with bitterness for Wilkins.
"We're so grateful to the people who comforted him; the people that were there put a towel on him to keep him warm," said Moreno's brother, Tony Moreno.
Phillip Moreno was the second youngest of seven siblings in a tight-knit Torrance family. Sports were his passion, and he knew the stats of all the players on his favorite teams — the Los Angeles Lakers and Oakland Raiders.
The family is struggling to cope with their feelings about the brutal descriptions of his last minutes alive.
"People witnessed (Wilkins) driving off, swerving," said his sister, Sylvia Moreno. "It looked like she was trying to shake him off. What she did was inhumane. She wanted to leave him like a dead dog on the street. That's the hurt that we're feeling." Officials said Wilkins did not stop driving until witnesses ran after her, begging her to pull over at Crenshaw Boulevard and 182nd Street. Family members said witnesses took Wilkins' keys and detained her until police arrived.
Meanwhile, several bystanders tried to help Moreno. He had a pulse at the scene, but was pronounced dead when he reached the hospital, officials said.
Wilkins' blood-alcohol level was about twice the legal limit, authorities said.
Wilkins worked as a counselor for drug and alcohol addicts at the Twin Town Treatment Centers in Torrance. Administrators there believed she had been sober for eight years after a long addiction to heroin and alcohol.
Department of Corrections records show Wilkins was in and out of prison from 1989 to 2008.
Her convictions included burglary, using controlled substances while behind bars and petty theft. In 1994, she was sentenced to 12 years, two months in prison for a first-degree burglary conviction. She was discharged from prison on Dec. 29, 2008.
In May 2010, Wilkins fled the scene of a hit-and-run accident on Hawthorne Boulevard near 182nd Street, just blocks from her home. She slammed into a light pole there, knocking it into the street, said Patrick Sullivan, assistant city attorney in Torrance. Three cars collided into the downed pole after Wilkins drove off, Sullivan said.
Officers tracked her from the scene to her home by following a trail of fluid from her white Toyota Tacoma. She was charged with hit-and-run, and driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol because officers believed she was impaired, Sullivan said.
But tests showed no alcohol and barely traceable levels of narcotics in her system, and those charges were dropped, he said. She settled out of court in a civil compromise that allowed her to pay fees and have the charge dismissed.
Wilkins now faces one count each of murder, gross vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence and causing injury, driving with a blood-alcohol-content level of 0.08 or higher, and leaving the scene of an accident.
After Tuesday's scheduled arraignment, family members described feeling both numb and angry at the sight of Wilkins.
"I was kind of hoping the guilty verdict would come today, but I didn't expect it," said Tony Moreno. "I would have rather it been over with." Of his feelings toward Wilkins, he said: "You can't print the words I feel." The family anticipates filing a wrongful death civil suit against Wilkins.
Funeral plans have not been set, as Phillip Moreno's body remained at the Los Angeles County Coroner's Department on Tuesday. But a memorial fund to accept public donations toward Moreno's funeral and burial has been established on the family attorney's website at www.bhinjurylawyers.com.

Voltage Pictures Thinks Canada's New Copyright Law Opens The Door For More Trolling
from the oh-canada dept
And, now, it appears, they've decided to try the same scheme up north. We had just noted that with Canada's new copyright law in place, it appeared that the copyright trolls were getting ready to pounce -- and that's now been confirmed. ISP TekSavvy initially released a blog post noting that Voltage Pictures was demanding a ton of information on many of its users. So far, the company is resisting, while notifying its users. It also noted that Voltage's strategy here is an odd one:
We are frankly puzzled by the approach that Voltage has taken. It seems contrary to the government's intent with copyright reform, which was to discourage file sharing lawsuits against individuals, while still protecting copyright holders' rights. The manner and the timing of this action also seems unusual given that the government recently created a roadmap for addressing file sharing and copyright infringement within its legislation. Its starting point is a notification system to subscribers to discourage infringement without immediate threats of lawsuits or disclosure of their personal information. That system is not yet finalized though. In light of these factors, Voltage's actions seem odd to us.The move by Voltage has a number of people confused. One of the really good features of Canada's new copyright laws is a cap on how much someone would have to pay at $5,000. That takes away a troll's ability to demand huge sums, while also limiting its ability to wave a big stick about them being liable for $150,000 in possible statutory awards (as they do in the US). Besides, as Teksavvy notes, the Canadian government was already worried about trolling when it passed the new law.
It appears to us that a notice period is essential, especially in cases where large privacy disclosures may be involved. Without this notice, a customer could be the subject of a lawsuit and not even know about it. Surely this is in part why the government is seeking to enact such notice provisions in the policy.
At this point there are many unanswered questions. How does Voltage intend to proceed? How will the courts rule if customers should retain legal counsel? Under what conditions might the court order the disclosure of customer information? If Voltage is successful, how many more notices will Canadian ISPs receive? Is there a limit to what the court will allow?
In the end, it's unclear if Voltage is so wedded to the idea of copyright trolling that it simply doesn't understand what's going on in Canada. Either way, it makes one thing clear: I will now go out of my way to never watch a movie from Voltage. Who would support a company that sues its fans?

We live in a California Closets house! Upon moving into our new home, my first call was to California Closets to have our master bedroom walk- in closet done, and two years later we had one of the bedroom closets designed. Both experiences were perfect from design to installation.
Christina S, New York
Overall this was a wonderful experience. From the initial planning to the build out of my new walk- in closet, it was easy and enjoyable. I really think that the overall service and products are the best on the market. This was my first experience with California Closets, but certainly not my last.
April F., Bridgehampton
Great experience. Very professional sales staff. The installation and customer service were top notch. Closets came out beautiful.
Joseph P., Huntington
Fantastic, professional, quality designs and installation.
Kevin M., East Patchogue
I recommend. This company has high standards and understands what the customer is looking for! Great job and excellent quality products

With her chiseled features, 1940s-style black dress, retro sunglasses and lacy black parasol, tour guide Karie Bible strolls the 60 acres of Hollywood Forever Cemetery looking as if she might be a wayward mourner from the funeral of Tyrone Power or another Tinseltown luminary.
She answers the obvious questions that, yes, her name really is Karie Bible, and, yes, she really was born on Halloween, saying, "I can't make this up."
Being a cemetery tour guide may seem an unlikely avocation. But it's the logical fusion of two of Bible's childhood influences: horror films and family vacations to Civil War battlefields.
"We went to Vicksburg, Miss., one summer ... and I remember the docent had this beautiful antebellum gown on even though it was a billion degrees, and she let me touch a cannonball that was lodged in the wall of this old antebellum mansion," Bible said. "Going to those battlefields is just history brought to life. As a kid, that was just the most exciting thing in the world to me."

Breaking new developments in the case of the so-called Cleveland Strangler.
19 Action News has learned attorneys for Anthony Sowell have requested yet another trial delay. And this one comes just days before the trial is to begin on June 6th.
Among the reasons, Sowell's lawyers say his crime scene expert needs more time to review the case. They also claim other experts need more time to prepare a defense if Sowell gets convicted and the jury must decide if he gets put to death.
Sowell is facing the death penalty for killing eleven women. The victims were found in and around his Imperial Avenue home in November of 2009.

We promise it won't disapoint you! The launch date was originally going to be September 1st, but had to be pushed back a bit. Stay tuned for more information to come very soon. While we await the launch, the Patriots defeated the Fontainebleau Bulldogs in the Jamboree 22-0 and have defeated the Mandeville Skippers 20-3 in the season opener. The Patriots travel to play at East St. John next Friday night.
The Patriots defense throttled the high powered East St. John offense in the highly anticipated matchup between the two teams. The Wildcats were the last team to defeat the Patriots nearly two years ago. The defense also scored two touchdowns as Conner Mullins pounced on a fumble in the endzone, which gave the Patriots a 28-0 lead at the time. Leading up to that, Blaine LeBlanc scored two touchdowns, one on the first posession of the game, and Matt Saucier scored the other. Capping off the scoring was a Jonathan McKnight interception return for a TD that made the final score 34-7. The Wildcats lone score came on a kickoff return for a TD.

The setting was quite different than any championship game each team member had ever been a part of. Their was not one thing about the game that was routine in any way. It was cold, outdoor, sunny, no Mr. Curtis, Sr. in his white suit, and the Patriots donned red pants for the first time ever. However, once the game started, the Patriots were about as routine as could be. The defense was the story of the day as it dominated the Comets from the start. The Patriots held the Comets to just 178 yards of total offense, with 91 of those coming on the last drive of the game, and just 55 yards total rushing. The defense kept the Comet offense off of the scoreboard, with the Comets only points coming on a fumble return for a TD. The defense also produced points on a Jacob Dufrene sack and score in the second quarter.
The Patriot offense moved the ball well early in the game, but two turnovers deep in Comet territory evaporated Patriot drives. The defense forced three straight 3-and-outs and Joe McKnight hauled in a punt at the Patriot 45 yard line. Three fierce blocks by Colby Arceneaux, John Ruttley and Jonathan English sprung McKnight loose and he made the punter miss and waltzed into the endzone for a 6-0 lead. Kelby Weurtz then intercepted a Comet pass and ran 31 yards to set up Kyle Collura's 3 yard QB sneak for a 12-0 lead, following two missed extra point attempts. Dufrene's touchdown gave the Patriots an 18-0 lead. On the try for two points following the TD, Kyle Collura's pass fell incomplete and his head fell victim to the Independence Bowl turf. Collura took a good hit and his head whiplashed to the ground and was knocked coo-coo and was taken out of the game by the John Curtis medical staff. To end the first half, the Comets faced third and goal from the Patriot three yard line with just :09 seconds remaining and out of timeouts. The Comets tried to pass, and under heavy pressure, the Comet QB threw to their star player #5 Casey Robottom. McKnight stepped in front and hauled in the pass and raced down the Patriot sideline for an apparent 97 yard TD. However, the TD was called back on a penalty, but the Patriots had sapped away any momentum the Comets tried to get. In the second half, on the Patriots' first possession of the third quarter, QB Matt Saucier threw a hitch pass to McKnight and sophomore P.J. Smith had a great block and McKnight found his way into the endzone for a 24-0 lead. A fumbled pitchout was then returned for a TD by the Comets and following a failed 2-point attempt, the Patriots led 24-6. The nail in the coffin was hammered down, again by Joe, with a 58 yard TD run, which sealed his MVP performance voted on by the media covering the game. Joe shifted the accolades to his teammates quoting that the defense played so well that the entire defense deserved the award and that the punt return was set up by great blocking. Also, on his yards, the O-Line had great blocking and P.J. had a great block on the hitch pass. All he had to do was run to the endzone. Junior running back David Seeman finished with 89 yards rushing on 13 carries. Contrast that to the MVP performance by St. Charles Catholic running back who had 62 yards rushing on 13 carries.
The Patriots were truly an unstoppable force in this year's playoffs. Yes, the Patriots struggled to find their groove in early Post-Katrina games against East St. John and Choctawhatchee, Florida. But, I don't think anybody will argue with the end result. Clearly, the Patriots established themselves as not only the top team in 2A, but possibly the top team in ANY classification. Thank you to the seniors of 2005: Randelle Leggette, Lance Frazier, Alvin Scott, Scotty Encalade, Blaine Roberts, Tony Friedman, Scott Makepeace, Josh Medley, Matt Snyder, John Ruttley, Chris Tusch, Steven Kurtz, Stephen Champagne, Oscar Ponce deLeon and Mike Klein. To the juniors, it's your turn to continue the legacy laid before you and try to duplicate or excede what the seniors before you have done. To the rest of the underclassmen, don't take a day for granted, because there are 15 guys listed here who would love to do it all over again!

Dune Energy Announces Sale Of 18.8 Million Common Shares At $1.60 Per Share To Raise $30 Million Of New Equity Capital
By: PR Newswire
Dec. 27, 2012 05:15 PM
HOUSTON, Dec. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dune Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: DUNR) today announced it has entered into an agreement with each of its major shareholders to sell 18,749,997 new shares of common stock at $1.60 per share for total proceeds of $30 Million to be used to fund working capital for the Company's planned 2013 drilling program. Including this issuance of common stock, there are currently approximately 59 million shares outstanding. Subject to certain conditions or upon the occurrence of certain events, Dune may issue and the major shareholders may purchase up to an additional 12.5 million shares of common stock in two equal tranches, also at $1.60 per share.
Summary Terms
Each of the Company's major shareholders, who collectively hold approximately 93% of the outstanding shares of the Company prior to the agreement, participated in the sale on a pro rata basis as to their interest prior to the issuance of the new common stock. Under the terms of the agreement the Company may issue up to 31,250,000 shares at $1.60 per share prior to December 31, 2013. The initial issuance on December 21, 2012 was for a cash consideration of $30 million and, depending on Dune's satisfaction of certain performance conditions relating to its drilling program, it may make up to two additional cash draws of $10 million each at the $1.60 per share price. Total consideration to the Company, assuming all conditions of the program are achieved and additional draws made would be $50 million.
In the financing, each of the investors received a "Preemptive Right" to purchase such investor's pro rata percentage of new stock or new debt financings (excluding certain reserve based revolver financings) undertaken by Dune, on substantially the same terms as offered to any outside investor. At the expiration of the term of the agreement or upon a change of control of Dune, the investors can elect to draw down the remaining shares in the program by paying to the Company $1.60 per share for any shares remaining under the initial 31,250,000 shares allocated for issuance pursuant to the agreement.
In connection with the financing, Dune received the right, but not the obligation, to offer Dune's non-participating shareholders the option to make a one-time proportional purchase of the Company's Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.60 per share. The Company is also obligated to file a Shelf Registration Statement within 30 days of the closing of this agreement. The full agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have been filed as exhibits to an 8-K, for the Company dated December 26, 2012.
Information Provided to Major Shareholders
During the negotiation of this agreement, all major shareholders reviewed certain information pursuant to the terms of confidentiality agreements. The information provided to the investors was based on the Company's June 2012 DeGolyer and MacNaughton reserve report, material aspects of which were disclosed in a Company press release of August 8, 2012 and an 8-K of the same date, and reflect various Company forecasts about potential operating results based on assumptions regarding the amount and timing of capital infusions. These assumptions varied materially from the terms of the financing. Additionally the investors were provided Company projections associated with the Garden Island Bay intermediate level drilling program as described more fully on the Company's web site. Such projections showed the full potential of each project within the Company's portfolio of drilling opportunities without regard to risk, capital allocation or specific timing considerations.
Operations Update
The following contains updated information concerning the Company's operations that was provided to the investors in connection with the financing, but which has not yet been publicly released:
In October of 2012, the Company commenced the non-operated drilling program within the Leeville field as described in prior releases. To date two wells have been cased and a third well will be cased in the next few days. All three wells have apparent hydrocarbon pays by log analysis. Dune has a 40% working interest in these wells. It is anticipated that the operator will commence completion operations on these wells in January of 2013. Additionally, the approximately 20,500 foot exploratory well at Leeville, the SL #20783, in which Dune has a 20% working interest should spud in January of 2013. Dune anticipates moving a drilling rig into the Garden Island Bay field in mid-January for recompletion work along with drilling the "Kappa" PUD development location and the "Epsilon" intermediate level exploratory test. The Company is in the process of developing a full capital and expense budget for 2013 and beyond incorporating this new liquidity in a drilling program across the Company's assets. When complete and approved by the Board of Directors, such budget and resultant guidance will be communicated to all shareholders.
James A. Watt, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, "We are very pleased that our major investors recognized the potential of our asset base and made a significant financial commitment to investing in our drilling program. The increased liquidity associated with this investment will allow us to initiate a program to more fully evaluate the upside potential of our assets."

I suppose many folks have a tin of old coins in the house. I remember this coin from our tin when I was a kid. I rediscovered our tin when my mother was moving home recently.
There were several coronation commemorative coins including that of Edward VII. This one is different. On one side it says "In defence of the rights and honour of Scotland", with the Royal Lion Rampant flag.
On the other it says "Edward I of Britain & the British Empire, falsely styled Edward VII. Our army, navy, parliament and flag all are British not English".
I've had a look on the net for some information but have so far drawn a blank. This is obviously not the work of Scottish nationalists but seems rather to have been struck as a protest to a time when the postal address of Scotland became North Britain. It's a reminder that the union was meant to be one of equal partnership and how it didn't actually work out like that.
Interesting stuff.

Legends of the Star – Mel Renfro
This week's Legend of the Star is the longtime, outstanding Cowboys safety, Mel Renfro. Mel Renfro was an All-American running back at the University of Oregon, where he not only set many team and college records, but was eventually enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.
In 1964, Renfro was drafted by the Cowboys in the second round of the NFL Draft. However, the Cowboys immediately started him at safety that season rather than at running back and used him extensively on special teams. Although the move baffled many, he ended up leading the Cowboys with seven interceptions, while leading the NFL in kickoff and punt returns in his rookie season.
Although he spent his first few years as a safety, it wasn't until he was switched to cornerback that his career would skyrocket. Renfro used his speed to intimidate opposing wide receivers and was absolutely dominating in the secondary. He was selected to the Pro Bowl for 10 straight seasons. In his 14-season career, Renfro intercepted 52 passes that he returned for 626 yards. He returned 109 punts for 842 yards and 85 kickoffs for 2,246 yards and a sparkling 26.4-yard average, and led the NFL with 10 interceptions in 1969. Renfro always knew how to turn it up in big games too, and one of his most memorable plays was a key interception that led to the Cowboys' game-winning touchdown over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Title game in 1970. He helped the Cowboys win nine division titles, four NFC Championships, and Super Bowls, VI and XII.
Mel Renfro was added to the Texas Stadium Ring of Honor in 1981, and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1996.

EU to 'urgently review' its relations with Egypt
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union said Sunday it will "urgently review" its relations with Egypt, warning the authorities there that the people's calls for democracy and fundamental rights "cannot be disregarded, much less be washed away in blood."
In a rare joint foreign policy statement, the presidents of the European Commission and the European Council said it's the responsibility of the Egyptian army and the interim government to end the violence and to embark on a political dialogue to swiftly restore democracy.
Nearly 900 people have died there over the week in clashes between security forces and supporters of the deposed President Mohammed Morsi, officials said.
"The violence and the killings of these last days cannot be justified nor condoned," said the European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and Council chief Herman Van Rompuy. "The calls for democracy and fundamental freedoms from the Egyptian population cannot be disregarded, much less washed away in blood," they added.
Top EU diplomats are gathering Monday morning in Brussels to discuss possible EU actions in response to the crisis in Egypt. The diplomats will lay the groundwork for an expected emergency meeting of the bloc's foreign ministers on Egypt later this week.
The 28-nation bloc is a major source of aid, loans, business and tourists for Egypt. The EU and its member states last year pledged a combined 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) in loans and aid for Egypt, contingent on the progress toward democracy.
Besides the economic leverage, German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday floated the idea to halt previously approved arms shipments to Egypt as part of a coordinated EU response.
"In any case, arms exports can absolutely be subject to measures by which one makes it clear: We are very skeptical regarding what is happening in Egypt at the moment," she told public broadcaster ZDF. "We will do everything to stop the violence."
Sun-seeking tourists from Germany and other EU countries flocking to resorts on the Red Sea have kept Egypt's ailing economy from suffocating since the 2011 Arab Spring protests that led to the ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
Berlin, however, on Friday issued a stern travel warning following this week's violence. Germany stopped short of seeking to evacuate its currently estimated 40,000 citizens there, but firmly advised against traveling to Egypt. If travel warnings from many EU countries were issued or kept in place, Egypt's already fragile economy would face further mayhem.
In Paris, French President Francois Hollande said European and Arab nations have a "common responsibility" to do what they can so the violence in Egypt ends and a political life can be restarted.
Hollande spoke after meeting with the Saudi Arabian foreign minister, saying he doesn't want to interfere in Egyptian affairs, but "violence at this level is not acceptable in a great nation like Egypt."
Hollande called on Egyptian political authorities to quickly organize elections "so that people can express themselves." He said other nations must "do all so that violence ceases." The French president didn't say what nations should do to help end the crisis in Egypt.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius held a separate meeting with his Qatari counterpart, Khalid bin Mohammad Al Attiyah, as French authorities reached across the divide that has cut Egypt into two camps.
Qatar is known as a leading ally of the Muslim Brotherhood, the movement of Morsi, while Saudi Arabia King Abdullah has said the kingdom stood by Egypt in its fight against "terrorism and strife" — a thinly veiled reference to the Brotherhood.
"We must quickly end this bloodbath and reach an inter-Egyptian dialogue," Fabius said after meeting the Qatari envoy.
Meanwhile, several hundred pro-Morsi backers held a demonstration in Paris while a pro-army group protested on the other side of town.

The 16-15 win saw last season's quarter-finalists make it to within one match of competing in the pool stages this time around, despite being second best for long periods against the plucky Quins.
"The way we played without the ball was the difference, our defence was excellent," said Llanelli head of rugby Anthony Buchanan.
"It was always going to be a close game. Credit to Quins, they came down and looked to attack us.
"There is a lot to work on, but it's the start of the season. We will look forward to Llandovery on Saturday now."
Llanelli had led 16-9 at half-time though the Quins will have felt hard done by having had the better of the first half.
The opening 40 minutes had predominantly been a kicking contest, fly-halves Josh Lewis and Craig Evans kicking three penalties apiece to make the score 9-9 with precious first half seconds remaining.
But in what proved to be the crucial moment of the match, Llanelli launched a sparkling attack from deep through full-back Dion Jones, a break that led to Josh Adams cutting inside to score.
The Quins reduced the arrears with a fourth Evans penalty shortly after the restart before Llanelli were denied a second try when referee Nigel Owens ruled out a Kyle Evans score.
Owens then yellow carded Llanelli flanker Dan Thomas for an infringement at a ruck and although Quins pressed late on, a penalty from replacement full-back Aled Thomas was all they could manage in reply.

The Best Individual Seasons of 2012: 1st through 20th
Idea: Rank the best individual seasons of the 2012 MLB regular season (Spring Training, Minor Leagues, and Postseason are not included), while considering offensive and defensive facets of the game.
Consider: Using the individual metrics to measure individual performance; full avoidance of projecting results for shortened seasons, and past years performance to justify or dictate standings.
This is not: "Most Valuable" anything. Rather, this is "best," like Baseball America does, so there is no confusion as to what I am ranking. It is also not a "this is a ranking of who I want in 2013, or wanted in any other year."
This is: My opinion, and will be disagreed with by many.
20. R.A. Dickey (233.2 IP, 8.86 K/9, 3.39 tERA, 4.6 fWAR, 5.6 rWAR) – Had I considered age in this ranking, maybe Dickey would have been higher, but I'll let someone else do that ranking. I think it's still cool that we could have some more years to experience his dominance over hitters though.
19. David Price (211.0 IP, 8.74 K/9, 3.23 tERA, 5.1 fWAR, 6.4 rWAR) – Really had trouble ranking 19-21 with the three pitchers, but in the end, I just liked Price's numbers the best
18. Aaron Hill (26 HR, 14 SB, .375 wOBA, 6.2 fWAR, 4.6 rWAR) – What a change of scenery can do for you, Aaron Hill looks like he's found his comfort zone in Phoenix after being traded from Toronto.
17. Cliff Lee (211.0 IP, 1.19 BB/9, 3.21 tERA, 4.9 fWAR, 4.2 rWAR) – Poor Clifton didn't get a lot of love because of the W-L record he sported, but it's not his fault his team didn't score runs for him, even if he was on for most of the season.
16. Michael Bourn (26 2B, 42 SB, .326 wOBA, 6.4 fWAR, 6.0 rWAR) – The speedy center fielder does his job tearing up the basepaths and covering his part out in CF. Jim Bowman suggested the Giants could be a fit, I think not. ($)
15. Felix Hernandez (232.0 IP, 8.65 K/9, 3.21 tERA, 6.1 fWAR, 4.6 rWAR) – The King may be the only true royalty in Seattle now, but he should have an army of arms coming to help out soon.
14. Aramis Ramirez (27 HR, 50 2B, .384 wOBA, 6.5 fWAR, 5.4 rWAR) – May be the most underappreciated season of the guys listed in this top percentage, but the BBWAA recognized it, and he finished 9th in NL MVP voting.
13. Yadier Molina (22 HR, 12 SB, .375 wOBA, 6.5 fWAR, 6.7 rWAR) – I know what you're thinking: A Molina that steals bases, not just prevents SB? Yea, he does that, too.
12. Adrian Beltre (36 HR, 33 2B, .388 wOBA, 6.5 fWAR, 6.7 rWAR) – I felt Heyward edged the 3B of Texas in the way he manned his position, and in the way he contributed on the bases, but still a great year for the guy that loves the headrubs.
11. Jason Heyward (27 HR, 21 SB, .351 wOBA, 6.6 fWAR, 5.5 rWAR) – Should Heyward be able to step up his game to another level in his age 23 season, he could get real scary.
10. Clayton Kershaw (227.2 IP, 9.05 K/9, 2.95 tERA, 5.5 fWAR, 6.2 rWAR) – I also struggled between JV vs. CK, but in the end, felt other peripherals not listed evened things out, giving the edge to Justin over Clayton with IP being the tiebreaker.
9. Justin Verlander (238.1 IP, 9.03 K/9, 3.43 tERA, 6.8 fWAR, 7.5 rWAR) – I really struggled where to start to include the pitchers, but here seemed like a good spot. Verlander is still good.
8. Chase Headley (31 HR, 17 SB, .378 wOBA, 7.5 fWAR, 6.0 rWAR) – If this were a "best second half of 2012" post, Headley might be #1.
7. David Wright (21 HR, 15 SB, .376 wOBA, 7.8 fWAR, 6.7 rWAR) – If this were a "best first half of 2012" post, Wright might be #1.
6. Miguel Cabrera (44 HR, 40 2B, .417 wOBA, 7.1 fWAR, 6.9 rWAR) – The dude's just oozing power, and while the change of positions is a great story, the playing of the position itself must be considered in this ranking.
5. Andrew McCutchen (31 HR, 20 SB, .403 wOBA, 7.4 fWAR, 7.0 rWAR) – Worthy of being on the cover of a video game, I'm just glad Pittsburgh has had someone to cheer about.
4. Robinson Cano (33 HR, 48 2B, .394 wOBA, 7.8 fWAR, 8.2 rWAR) – Aren't the Yankees glad the Rangers took Joaquin Arias instead of this kid.
3. Ryan Braun (41 HR, 30 SB, .413 wOBA, 7.9 fWAR, 6.8 rWAR) – Probably got a lot of flack for the PED-related stuff at the end of the season in 2011, but a 40-30 season will never stop being impressive.
2. Buster Posey (24 HR, .406 wOBA, 8.0 fWAR, 7.2 rWAR) – It's no secret that the catcher position is an incredibly important one, and when your backstop is producing at the levels Posey is, well that warrants some respect. Bias possible.
1. Mike Trout (30 HR, 49 SB, .409 wOBA, 10.0 fWAR, 10.7 rWAR) – If 21 year olds are just getting started, in the Majors, it's difficult to fathom where he goes from here.

Home Buying: Comps, Mortgage Pre-qual, and Letter Writing
Can there be any question that The Bubble is Back? Buyers are returning to that delightful 2005 method: the Begging Letter. It must be true, because it's in a newspaper.
Can I Buy Your House, Pretty Please?
By JOANN S. LUBLIN, The Wall Street Journal, January 10, 2013
Rob and Julia Israch won a fierce bidding war for a three-bedroom townhouse in Mountain View, Calif., late last year even though their $750,000 offer—while $92,000 above the asking price—was topped by 11 rivals and was several thousand dollars below the highest bid.
A key reason: The seller, software engineer Lev Stesin, was moved by a letter in which the Israchs said they worked in the technology industry and explained how the home's spacious layout would be perfect given the imminent arrival of their first child. Among other things, the townhouse has three bathrooms, a wood-burning fireplace and a roomy backyard.
The only problem with this real estate story is the author's contention that it isn't just happening where it's Special, namely Mountain View. Pitch letters are also going to sellers in Seattle, San Diego, suburban Chicago, and Washington D.C. Hah, and you thought we were going to say Belmont or something. No, we really meant places where it isn't Special at all (e.g. where you can make an offer and be the only one! Redfin's CEO said 95% of the offers their agents made in Silicon Valley had competing offers.)
The WSJ piece included two examples of House Begging Letters that worked. Both were from Silicon Valley buyers. Here's one.
Note the use of photos. Don't beg without them. Also don't house beg with form letters. You're going to have to write an individual letter for each seller, calling attention to their home's marvelous features. Comments such as "Of all the 1954 era crapboxes we looked at today, yours had the fewest pet odors and the least offensive paint scheme" will probably not be effective. Some tips:
- Remind the seller how attractive your offer is. You could write this note on the back of a hundred dollar bill to show how many more you have waiting.
- Mention all the things you have in common with the seller, so they identify with you and not any of those other Less Special buyers. If you can't find the sellers on social media, a good private detective can ferret that info out. Or spend some of those C-notes on the gabbiest neighbors.
- Gush about their house and neighborhood without overdoing it. Otherwise they'll figure you're using irony. After all, it is one of several hundred 1954 era crapboxes in the tract. But — close to Google! (Don't mention this if they tried and failed to get jobs there.)
- Describe your difficult house hunt without sounding whiny. If you can fake sincerity here, you'll have it made:
A few years ago, the owners of an older Los Altos home got more than 21 offers and picked the one from a woman who also submitted a love letter from her dog, said Kathy Bridgman, an Alain Pinel Realtors agent who represented the sellers. "She won't touch a thing," promised the letter, signed with a paw print. "I will be able to play in the yard."
After closing, the buyer immediately tore down the home and built a bigger one.
Note: In case you're noticing that we've repeatedly reformatted this piece, you're correct. Our blogging tools aren't as compatible with each other as we wish they were. In this particular case, one tool supports photo captions but won't strip styles out properly, the other is the reverse. Don't even get us started on what WordPress is doing to both of them.

text: I had a strange experience this afternoon. I had put a straight pin on a block just to mark the top, and apparently, I accidently ironed over the pin as I was pressing my seams. Later, when I went to remove the pin, it wouldn't budge! The pin has a ball top, and it evidently was painted, not solid plastic throughout. The paint must have melted and stuck to the fabric. I got it off w/o much of a mark, but all those pins went into my "dead needle" jar for disposal. In the picture below, you can see the little bit of paint on the shaft, which is a telltale sign. I have no idea where or when I got these pins, unfortunately.

How to Valuate Internet Domain Names & The Domains Valuation Secret
Domaining as a Business Industry has witnessed great growth rates during the past two decades. This growth has been reflected in both sales activity and the average price of domains sold. As the internet has literately entered every aspect of our life, domain names have become valuable assets like bonds, shares, real estate etc. Some domains have even been sold for millions of US dollars making their owners rich. As the potential for domain flipping is great nowadays, the crucial question for every domainer before buying or selling a domain name is "What is the real value of this Domain?" This is the main issue analyzed in this article.
How to Define the Basic Framework for Appraise Domain Names
In order to define real value in a market, we must first identify the factors forming the aggregate demand and supply. Demand for premium and high premium domain names comes mainly from businesses that want to go online or from domain investors that buy domain names cheap to sell them to businesses at a higher price. Many factors define if a domain name is the best choice for naming a business, here are some really important factors:
1) Ability to focus on a Business Niche
2) Brandability (Short Length, Easy Spelling and High Memorable)
3) Premium Domain extension (.com for international brands and a geographical domain name for local brands)
4) High Organic SEO Value (in other words, the ability to attract free visitors coming from Search Engines)
But there is also another crucial factor for defining the value of a domain, and that factor is scarcity. Scarcity limits the power of supply and that means that if demand suddenly increases, the domain name price can lift up in the sky.
5) Scarcity of supply
How to Instantly Valuate a Domain Name using Past Sales and Other Indicators
Here is my manual method that can prove reliable when valuating instantly domains.
Note: If you are a beginner, you may pass directly to step (2)
(1) First you break the domain in 2 pieces, one piece defines the market and the other piece defines the brand.
For example TradingCheap.com, Trading defines the market (trading online) and cheap defines the brand (cost leader).
(2) Using past sales and especially recent sales you may create a basic valuation for a domain name. For example, if there is a very similar domain name that has been sold recently for $1,000 (without a site) you have instantly a basic valuation model for your domain.
To make it even more sophisticated we may appraise separately each domain piece from (1) and create a more precise two-piece valuation model.
As mentioned, this method is based on past sales data. You can find past domain sales using several web sites, I use NameBio.com.
(3) The third step is to identify the domain's extension availability and then define scarcity. First of all, you must check all available extensions. If a domain is registered in 7 different TLDs then the .com gains value and it should be valuated in a premium than if there weren't any registered domains in other TLDs. If it is a .net you must calculate about 1/5 to 1/7 of the value of the .com domain.
.com = 100% of the value from (2)
.net= 15-20% value of the value from (2)
.org= 10-15% value (when community sites then .org value = 100%)
After we have gained knowledge on TLD scarcity we must identify the potential for possible abbreviations or the existence of reversed name. In the previous example of TradingCheap.com, we can also use the domain CheapTrading.com. That means that our domain valuation has just lost 50%.
(4) Measuring Exact Searches and Identify CPC
This step can be used as a method itself. As a general rule, we multiply the value of CPC to the number of exact annual searches to get a basic valuation. Here is The Rosener Equation:
Domain Name Valuation = A x B (i)
A = Exact-Match Yearly Search Volume
B = Average CPC
In order to make the appraisal more accurate, we may multiply (i) to the Click-through ratio of the domain name
The Little Secret for Successful Domaining
There is a little secret for all Domain Investors, here is the secret...
"If you want to invest in Domains, never register or buy a domain name that is appraised below $450."
This little secret derives from using simple financial mathematics:Read more: Appraise Domain Names & Valuation Model

Morris Kornberg
Born: January 6, 1918
Przedborz, Poland
Morris was the youngest of six children born to a religious Jewish family in Przedborz, a south central Polish town with a large Jewish population. Morris' family owned a business that supplied nearby factories with raw metal materials.
1933-39: When Germany invaded Poland in early September 1939 my family fled to the woods. We returned a few days later; most of the town had been burned down. The Nazis set up a ghetto and ordered everyone age 13 to 50 to report for work details. My family was better off than most. The more metal our business supplied to the war effort, the more privileges we received. I got a special armband so I could exit the ghetto and work across town.
1940-41: There were no SS men in town. Once a month they came from Radom and took care of any cases that required their attention. In mid-1941 they came for me. During questioning about our business, an SS officer mercilessly beat me. I passed out several times but they revived me by putting my head under a water pump, and beat me again. My body was black from the blows. Afterwards, they put me in a small prison. One of the Polish guards knew me and asked if I wanted to write to my family. "Just forget about me," I wrote.
Morris was deported to Auschwitz in 1941 and then to several other camps. He was eventually liberated in Theresienstadt when it was turned over to the Red Cross on May 3, 1945.

Author Notes: I have been debating all week whether or not I was going to enter this weeks contest, no reason really other than time constraints, and honestly I didn't have any idea what to enter. Now the week has progressed and here it is Thursday night. I have spent much of the week thinking about what recipe I would want to be remembered and quite honestly I am still not certain. The few answers I did come to terms with were personal and frankly nothing I would go into and bore you with here. What I will talk about is what, as a cook, chef or foodie, the things for which I would not want a recipe to be remembered. You know what I am going to take that back. I will talk about the things for which I, in a dream world, would want a recipe to be remembered. While I love food and everything about food which might make you think I would want to be remembered for some Grant Achatz Thomas Keller style dish but really, to answer that briefly, no. No because the reality is 99.9 percent or more of the world will never eat at a restaurant like either of these. In fact to be able to eat at one of the worlds great restaurants is truly a privilege, it puts you among the elite. It is exactly this word elite, or elitism, that has been tossed around a lot lately in the foodie community and in all honesty most recipes I create probably fall into the elitist category. I am not ashamed , nor do I have any regrets about that, but at the same time I am also one who is passionate about down home, rural and an of the people style of cooking. The kind of cooking that for generations has fed the world and kept countless numbers from being hungry at night. It is food made with inexpensive readily accessible ingredients. Food that for generations has been nutritious and not detrimental. In short it is not fast, prepared out of the box food. So when I started to look at what was around and I was thinking about how most people in the Americas might eat, and then it came to me that the Caribbean might just be the central spot, the funnel, where many of the different cultures have passed and then filtered into and onto the Americas. I got to thinking about Jamaican food. I was thinking about how when I lived in Brooklyn how the corner bodega sold peas and rice and curried goat and how much I missed that dish. Then I thought about my youngest daughter and her heritage and the many ways in which food is a building block of culture and how much I hope to provide her with an understanding of her cultural heritage. In the end I was still confused as to what to enter. Well, my wife Amy has been moving toward a vegetarian diet and on many nights I try to make things vegetarian and then add some sort of protein for me and the girls. Tonight though I got a burr up my crawl and decided to make sweet potato empanadas. The dish makes 9 empanadas, they are small-ish but in the end I think you would have enough for lunch the next day. So the question still persist, what dish do I want to be remembered for? Well I decided this is as good as any. - thirschfeld —thirschfeld
Food52 Review: Everything in this three part meal was delicious. Homey and satisfying with just a whisper of the exotic. The coconut oil added intriguing flavor to the rice and peas. The collards were classic braised collards, fantastic and certainly worth the hour of cooking time. Plus you can use that hour to prepare the rest of the meal pieces. The flavors in the empanadas were wonderful, the combination of sweet, savory, and aromatic was as brilliant as the orange color of the sweet potato. The dough was also remarkably easy to handle and roll. This is definitely a meal with a lot of hands-on time from all the vegetable slicing, the empanada dough making, and the empanada rolling and filling. But, it's just the sort of thing you would want to make for your family to show them you love them. - fiveandspice —fiveandspice

I wouldn't mind having a chance to sit down with these individuals and pick their brain. I'm sure I would want to beat in their thick skulls with a baseball bat when I'm finished, but I am confused on a few subjects.
It is legal to purchase a VHS/DVD and change $3.00 to anyone who would like to view it for a couple days, get the video back and repeat the process. (Blockbuster / West Coast Video)
How is this legal? The MPAA is not getting payment for every view, and if someone rents it, watches it once, and doesn't buy it. They are not making money. So what is the difference is someone downloads it once, views it for free (oh, my a rent one video free card) and deletes it? Another thing, yes I know it is illegal to record a mix track for a friend, but it happens every day. What is the difference is you record a mix track for a friend, or you download a couple tracks for your own mix track. The RIAA is out the purchase sales in either matter, but you don't see people getting busted for sharing a mix tape between friends.
How do you feel about the MPAA & RIAA fighting to get you technology taken away from you, because it does not benefit themselves. They fought for the longest time against recordable audio cassettes, does this mean you shouldn't have the right to record your bands practice session to review in discussion at a later time? What about VHS, should you not have the right to film your childrens birthday parties, because someone else may use their VHS to duplicate a copy of Zoolander (had to use a really lame movie). I understand that I would most likely feel the same way if I was in their shoes, but I don't believe I would try to pull the technology away from a consumer. I believe they have the right to protect their media in a way that would not restrict our access to it. We should have the right to transfer audio songs to MP3 without problems. I feel we should be able to back up any media we own for safe keeping. I believe we should be able to legally update the storage type of any media we purchase (i.e. VHS to DVD). I also feel it is their responsibility to provide services on the actually CD or DVD that would pursue a consumer to purchase the DVD or CD. How about that? If the mail in offer is worth while more people will purchase, if you have to mail in for added video footage DVDs fanatics will purchase the video for the extras. If you push movies and songs that are only going to be worth viewing once or only one good song on a CD, and punish people, because they don't want to give you their hard earned money for something that is not worth it. You are wrong. You cannot hack the feeling you get of checking out your favorite band live, but if your band does something amazingly incredible, that can not be duplicated. Does that mean, because you live in LA and cannot make it to NY you should not be allowed to view this event. If the band records the show, you are only going to get the highlights of certain shows, and that is it. I don't think video recording a show should be illegal. A (Video Galaxy / Movies and More) can purchase a video for $20. and make a $3 profit on anyone who views it. John Smith pays $125. to check out the show. Why should he be busted for selling a couple copies of his homemade video? What is John doing differently than (Video Time)? I can't rant and rave about this as much as I want, and I do not believe I am, I think I have some good points, I would love to hear answers to, and I can't. I do not believe the P2P Networks should be included in a bill, and I do not believe the MPAA or RIAA should have any say in how technology is used. What is your opinions on my thoughts, and am I wrong for thinking so?

Seeing the return of American racing legend Kevin Schwantz to FIM road racing, the 2013 Coca-Cola Zero Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race was certainly one to remember.
While the return of Schwantz overshadowed many of the other big names in the sport that competed in the event, not to mention the former World Champion's own teammates: Noriyuki Haga & Yukio Kagayama, the Suzuka starting grid was also blessed with the entries of Jonathan Rea, Leon Haslam, Josh Brookes, John McGuinness, Michael Rutter, Simon Andrews, and American Jason Pridmore.
Though a long eight-our race, the on-course action was surprisingly close, with the Top 5 teams on the same lap well past the three-hour mark. Team Kagayama was in good shape for a solid result from the onset of the race, as Noriyuka Haga put the team's Suzuki GSX-R1000 in a solid fourth position.
The team rose as high as second-position with Team Manager Yukio Kagayama on-board, as the Suzuka specialist kept a solid pace, and benefited from the pit stops of other teams, not to mention the retirement of the FCC TSR Honda team, which had a race-ending crash with Ryuichi Kiyonari at the helm.
While the crash from Kiyonari on the FCC TSR Honda dashed the race-win-repeat hopes of World Superbike's Jonathan Rea, Kevin Schwantz finally dazzled fans in the third hour as he took to the course. For all the postulation that the 49-year-old was over the hill for the Suzuka 8 Hours, the Texan held his own on the Kagayama Suzuki, and managed to keep Team Kagayama in the podium hunt, especially as other top teams succumbed to the rigors of endurance racing.
