1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ - DeFender Flares
Negative Fenders for Positive Results
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we can't stress enough the importance of maintaining a low center of gravity. Driving off-road twists and tosses your 4x4 in directions the factory never intended. To accommodate the rugged conditions, we modify our rigs with an assortment of aftermarket parts, and body armor is one of them. One upgrade especially helpful for owners of 1997-to-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJs is to convert what is commonly known as a highline conversion.
There are a few aftermarket highline kits available. However, owners savvy enough with sheetmetal can actually raise your stock fenders on the cheap. We performed a DIY highline conversion on our 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ years ago, which allowed us to run 37-inch tires with only a few inches of lift. Over the years, the makeshift highline kit has served us well, but we've had a few instances where the light-duty fenders were damaged on the trail and needed to be reworked. The reality of the DIY highline fender job: The stock sheetmetal is only so strong.
A few months ago, we made the leap to a set of custom East Coast Gear Supply Dana 60 axles, which increased our track width quite a bit. This major axle upgrade had us looking for larger tires, but we didn't want to raise our Jeep any higher. With all the changes, our stock highline was no longer effective. Fortunately, there was an easy way to get the fender clearance we needed, without having to undo all our original highline conversion.
This highline solution came by way of Poison Spyder Custom's DeFender XC Negative Series front flares. The company offers an assortment of front flares to fit rigs with stock and highline conversions. For the most tire clearance, though, the DeFender XC Negatives are the best pick. All PSC fenders are formed from 3/16-inch plate steel, which is said to create a fender that is 57-percent stronger than a traditional tube-and-plate flare.
Generally, installing a highline fender kit is a tremendous amount of work, mainly due to the need to relocate all the under-hood accessories and trimming the hood. We dealt with this issue years ago, along with ditching our original four-cylinder engine for a more powerful 5.9-liter Mopar V-8. The major portion of the highline conversion was already complete, so the DeFender XC flares on our application were a pretty easy install.
With the right tool set, the fender conversion can easily be installed in your driveway. To perform our install out of the elements, we borrowed garage space from our friends at Low Range 4x4 in Wilmington, North Carolina. We used up the good portion of the afternoon fitting everything in place, and suggest carving out a full day if you are starting with a stock TJ.
The DeFender XC flares completely replace your factory front fenders. Although unbolting the stock fender assembly is extremely straightforward, disconnecting the bevy of under-hood items that attach to your inner fenders takes some time. Given our Jeep was equipped with a DIY highline conversion, and 5.9-liter V-8 swap, most of our under-hood essentials had previously been relocated.
As soon as our fender kit arrived, we sent all of the bare steel components to Area 51 Powdercoating in Wilmington, North Carolina. We opted for the durable semi-gloss black powdercoat finish, which tends to hold up better over a basic rattle-can paint job.
The rear portion of the fender assembly uses the factory hardware and existing bolt holes in the Jeep's tub. Our TJ is equipped with a type of boat-side rocker armor, which required us to trim around 3 inches from the fender's bottom. Jeep's equipped with a more traditional style of rocker armor shouldn't run into any interference, though.
Up front, the fender is shaped to conform to the curves of the TJ's front hood. We found it helpful to keep the grill assembly loose until all the fender hardware was started.
Poison Spyder includes aluminum inserts along with steel backing plates, allowing you to customize the look of your Jeep. We were digging the bare aluminum, so we installed the panels just as they shipped. Since the plates remove independent of the fender, we can easily take them out if we feel inclined later.
For the passenger side, Poison Spyder includes a battery bracket that allows you to reuse your TJ's stock battery tray and hold down. This bolt-on bracket raises the battery and doesn't require any new battery leads.
The inner fender kit comes with hardware, but you need craft your own mounts for any under-hood accessories you wish to mount to the panels. Our coilover conversion takes up a fair amount of space, so we opted to only run the upper and back portion of the fender configuration.
PSC's three-piece aluminum inner fender kit is optional, but well worth having, same with the side panels. We left the aluminum bare for the install.
It's been many years since we originally performed our DIY highline conversion, and we had to dig through the archives to find a few photos. With the raised fender height, you'll need to trim 3 inches off your stock hood's bottom. We used a tapeline and a cutoff wheel. To keep our hands from getting cut each time we opened the hood, we installed a small piece of trim molding purchased from our local auto parts store.
To latch the hood, we picked up this hood pin kit from Autofab. We used a hole saw, which sliced easily through the hood's thin sheetmetal.

The only portion we didn't have time to complete was our turn signal upgrade. Poison Spyder offers a small set of LED indicators, which will likely get you through inspection time. Because the fenders don't offer a mounting hole for the light, the Jeep's grill is likely where we will install our signal set.
The Negative Series flares maintain a tight sweep with the hood, and in doing so, provide basically no fender coverage. This is fine for our trail rig. It allows room for bigger tires and lessens the chances of body damage off-road.

Heavenly landscapesJesuit land at Newtowne Neck now MD state park
Newtowne Neck is one of those places where there is still far more land than people. The priests who settled here in 1668 came for just that reason.
The club-shaped peninsula of Newtowne Neck protrudes from the north shore of the Potomac River about six miles south of Leonardtown in St. Mary's County, MD. It's bounded on one side by Breton Bay and on the other by Saint Clements Bay, where English colonists arrived on the Ark and the Dove in 1634.

His chest was layered in a long-sleeved linen shirt and heavy jerkin, crossed by a leather strap loaded with wooden flasks that carried gunpowder. If he leaned forward too far, his metal helmet gleamed in the sun.

TAMARGO BARBEITO, Teddy Osmin; JIMENEZ PANEQUE, Rosa Eugenia; GUTIERREZ ROJAS, Ángela Rosa y MORA DIAZ, Isabel. Two risk adjustment methods for length of stay as indicator of hospital performance. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2012, vol.38, n.1, pp.29-44. ISSN 0864-3466.
Introduction: the length of stay at hospital is the indicator of the rendered service efficiency par excellence, so any assessment of the hospital performance based on this indicator should take into account in one way or another the characteristics of the patients considered for the value estimation. Objective: to evaluate two risk adjustment methods for the length of stay as indicator of the hospital performance. Methods: a retrospective study was conducted at the internal medicine service of "Hermanos Ameijeiras" hospital from May to October, 2006. The sample of 606 medical histories was randomly divided into two parts, that is, one group comprised 304 medical histories for the predicted length of stay estimation from the multiple linear regression function and from the patient classification by related diagnosis groups, and the other included 302 medical histories for the validation of these two risk adjustment methods. In the validation phase, the capacity of each procedure to detect care deficiencies in another group of medical histories through the variance analysis and the ROC curve construction was evaluated. Results: age, severity index, main diagnosis on discharge and its interactions, and sex influenced the length of stay. The area under the ROC curve with the multiple linear regression was 0.747 (p< 0,001) (95 % CI, 0.690-0.805) whereas the same are with the related diagnosis groups was 0,738 (p< 0,001) (95 % CI, 0.680-0.796). Conclusions: both risk adjustment methods are equally effective in detecting efficiency problems, but the multiple linear regression model is better than the related diagnosis groups in estimating the predicted length of stay due to economic reasons. This aspect supports its use in poor-resource countries or institutions as is the case of underdeveloped countries.
Palabras clave : Length of stay at hospital; efficiency; Related Diagnosis Groups; risk adjustment.

This is a great book! Abracadabra! Poof! Rabbits Everywhere had great illustrations. I liked when I saw the bagel flying. I also liked the car with the hat on. There were a lot of funny parts like when Noah was singing and he got in trouble. Also, the part when the rabbits made a huge mess in the Art room. There was paint and glitter everywhere! I couldn't put this book down because Max kept coming up with new ways to find the rabbits. Each new idea of his was funnier than the last one. Abracadabra! Poof! has great illustrations, funny characters, and once you pick it up you won't be able to put it down.
I recommend this book to people who like magic. One reason is because it has people in it that do a lot of magic tricks. The second reason is because it shows you how to do the magic tricks. If you like magic this is a book for you!

Atmospheric scientist V. Ramanathan with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of California-San Diego and University of Iowa chemical engineer Greg Carmichael, said that soot and other forms of black carbon could have as much as 60 percent of the current global warming effect of carbon dioxide, more than that of any greenhouse gas besides carbon dioxide, CO2.
The researchers also say that mitigation would have immediate societal benefits in addition to the long-term effect of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The article, "Global and regional climate changes due to black carbon," is posted in today's online version of "Nature Geoscience."
Professor V. Ramanathan explains his new findings to reporters. (Photo courtesy UC San Diego)
"Observationally based studies such as ours are converging on the same large magnitude of black carbon heating as modeling studies from Stanford, Caltech and NASA," said Ramanathan.
"We now have to examine if black carbon is also having a large role in the retreat of arctic sea ice and Himalayan glaciers as suggested by recent studies," he said.
In the paper, Ramanathan and Carmichael integrated observed data from satellites, aircraft and surface instruments about the warming effect of black carbon and found that its warming effect in the atmosphere, is about 0.9 watts per meter squared.
That compares to estimates of between 0.2 watts per meter squared and 0.4 watts per meter squared that were agreed upon as a consensus estimate in a report released last year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations sponsored agency that periodically synthesizes the body of climate change research.
Ramanathan and Carmichael said the lower, more conservative estimates are based on widely used computer model simulations that do not take into account the amplification of black carbon's warming effect when mixed with other aerosols such as sulfates.
The models also do not adequately represent the full range of altitudes at which the warming effect occurs, they said.
The most recent observations have found significant black carbon warming effects at altitudes in the range of 6,500 feet, levels at which black carbon particles absorb not only sunlight but also solar energy reflected by clouds at lower altitudes.
Between 25 and 35 percent of black carbon in the global atmosphere comes from China and India, emitted from the burning of wood and cow dung in household cooking and through the use of coal to heat homes.
Countries in Europe and elsewhere that rely heavily on diesel fuel for transportation also contribute large amounts.
"Per capita emissions of black carbon from the United States and some European countries are still comparable to those from south Asia and east Asia," Ramanathan said.

In south Asia, air pollution often forms a brownish haze. Ramanathan's previous research has indicated that the warming effects of this smog appear to be accelerating the melt of Himalayan glaciers that provide billions of people throughout Asia with drinking water.
In addition, the inhalation of smoke during indoor cooking has been linked to the deaths of an estimated 400,000 women and children in south and east Asia.
Ramanathan said that an observation program for which he is currently seeking corporate sponsorship could dramatically illustrate the benefits. Known as Project Surya, the proposed venture would provide some 20,000 rural Indian households with smoke-free cookers and equipped to transmit data. At the same time, a team of researchers led by Ramanathan would observe air pollution levels in the region to measure the effect of the cookers.
Carmichael said he hopes that the paper's presentation of the immediacy of the benefits will make it easier to generate political and regulatory momentum toward reduction of black carbon emissions.
"It offers a chance to get better traction for implementing strategies for reducing black carbon," he said.
The National Science Foundation, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration funded the review.

The story of the Bulls 2011-12 season was without question, injuries; from Luol Deng's wrist, to Derrick Rose's knee and Joakim Noah's ankle. It seemed that more often than not, key members of the Bulls were forced to watch the action from the sidelines wearing custom suits, instead of competing on the court in their uniforms.
But no player missed more games last season than Rip Hamilton. Hamilton was brought in last summer as a free-agent after spending nine seasons in Detroit with the Pistons. He was thought to be the answer to the Bulls woes at the shooting guard position, and paired in the backcourt with D. Rose, the duo was supposed to propel the Bulls past Miami and into the NBA Finals.
But Hamilton appeared in just 28 of the Bulls 66 regular season games, and of the Bulls 72 total outings last season (playoffs included), Hamilton played in less than half of them.
"Last season was very tough mentally," Hamilton told NBC Chicago on Monday. "Not being able to play – I lost my grandma last year, too – and not having the game to help put your mind somewhere else, it was difficult for me."
To help him prepare for a full 82-game season, the 34-year-old hired a physical therapist to not only aid in his body's healing process, but to give him a leg-up on the younger and quicker guards at his position.
"I used a [physical] therapist to help me with my hips and my legs and to just try and stay limber," said Hamilton. "I did a lot of sand workouts and stuff like that, so I kind of remixed my regimen. I still run and do all of that stuff, but I'm just trying to get an advantage and that's the biggest thing for me."
Without Derrick Rose to lead them, Hamilton still feels confident in the other players on the Bulls roster and thinks the team will be competitive until Rose comes back.
"We can be good. It's no replacing [Derrick], I think everybody knows that. Our job is to maintain and hold down the fort until he comes back. And I think that we can."

Download the Report.
During the two decades that the annual reports to Congress have been published, these documents have undergone several minor stylistic changes and one major substantive redesign and refocus. In 1997, OSEP adopted a policy-oriented approach to the annual report to Congress. The results of this shift were first seen in the 1998 annual report, which used a four-section modular format. The 2002 Annual Report to Congress was the fifth volume to include four sections Context/Environment, Student Characteristics, Programs and Services and Results plus a separate appendix of data tables.
The implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act beginning in 2002 amplified the importance of accountability and results in the annual report to Congress. As the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education* pointed out in 2002, this emphasis means that Congress and the public must know that federal funds are well spent.
The 2003 Annual Report to Congress was redesigned to focus on results and accountability; make the report more useful to Congress, parents, each state and other stakeholders; and use a more readable and user-friendly style. It focuses on key state performance data in accordance with the recommendations of the President's Commission.
The 2004 Annual Report to Congress has two volumes. Volume 1 focuses on the children and students being served under IDEA and provides profiles of individual states' special education environment. It contains three sections. Section I contains the child/student-focused material, presented in a question-and-answer format. It contains three subsections: infants and toddlers served under IDEA, Part C; children ages 3 through 5 served under IDEA, Part B; and students ages 6 through 21 served under IDEA, Part B. All information available about each group of children/students is presented in one section. Each subsection focuses on available results. To the extent possible, the data are presented through graphics, short tables and bulleted text. Please note that throughout this report the terms "infants and toddlers with disabilities," "children with disabilities," and "students with disabilities" refer to recipients of services under IDEA, Parts C or B.
Section II of the report contains state-level performance data. These state profiles, which provide key information about a state on one or two pages, will be valuable to Congress and other stakeholders who are interested in individual state performance. The state profiles were a new feature of the 2003 annual report.
Section III presents tables of states rank-ordered by their reported data for exiting, dropout, educational environments, early intervention services and early intervention settings. OSEP uses these tables as part of its Continuous Improvement and Focused Monitoring System.
Volume 2 of the report contains the state-reported data tables developed from DANS. OSEP's goal in separating the text of the report from the extensive tables is to make the report usable to all readers. The tables are also posted on https://www.ideadata.org/index.html.
* U.S Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, A New Era: Revitalizing Special Education for Children and Their Families, Washington, DC, 2002.
A number of figures and tables refer to data
for "the four outlying areas." These areas consist of American Samoa,
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the Virgin Islands.

Suzy Favor Hamilton, a middle distance running three-time Olympian, former U.S. record holder and one of the most decorated NCAA track and field athletes in history, admitted on Thursday to leading a double life as a $600-an-hour escort out of Las Vegas.
On Thursday, Favor Hamilton took to her Twitter account to address a story first reported by "The Smoking Gun" website that detailed the married mother's double life as a Las Vegas call girl for a high-priced escort service.
"I was drawn to escorting in large part because it provided many coping mechanisms for me when I was going through a very challenging time with my marriage and my life," Favor Hamilton said in a series of tweets. "It provided an escape from a life that I was struggling in. It was a double life."
She said that she was drawn into the business after suffering from depression, adding that she is seeing a psychologist to help her get through the issues.

Along with micro-filtered whey protein isolate plus whey concentrate, NITRO-TECH® 100% WHEY GOLD delivers superior absorption, digestibility and mixability. Each scoop serves up 24g of ultra-premium protein that supplies 5.5g of BCAAs and 4g of glutamine and precursor.

Full Spectrum Array of Amino Acids
- Rapid-absorbing hydrolyzed whey peptides to support nutrient delivery*
- Features the most premium whey isolates and concentrate for a superior amino acid profile
- 5.5g of anabolic BCAAs and a class-leading 4g of glutamine and precursor for better muscle protein synthesis and recovery*
- Superior cold microfiltration process yields a high biological value undenatured whey protein
- Award-winning flavor and a taste you'll love
Multi-Phase Filtration Technology
Unlike the other guys, we don't use heat, harsh acids or salt! We only use a superior, cold microfiltration process to remove more fat, carbs and lactose, leaving only high-quality protein to help you increase strength and build more lean muscle.*
Our whey protein has been filtered using Multi-Phase Filtration Technology for less fat, lactose and impurities than cheaper protein sources. Furthermore, NITRO-TECH® 100% WHEY GOLD is manufactured according to GMP standards, as is required for all dietary supplements to ensure quality and integrity.
Fully Disclosed Formula
Each bottle of NITRO-TECH® 100% WHEY GOLD is fully disclosed to guarantee you are getting the exact amount of real protein displayed the label – each and every scoop contains the full amount of protein stated on the label and is 100% real protein!
Enjoying a clean formula doesn't mean you have to deal with excess carbs and fat. For some companies, the taste of their protein is the only thing they have going for them, so they load up their protein formulas with cheap proteins that are easy to flavor, and then chase that with a load of flavoring in the form of sugar, carbs and fat. At MuscleTech®, we believe you shouldn't have to sacrifice macronutrients for results. That's why our research team works closely with some of the top protein-flavoring professionals in the world! In fact, we conducted taste tests to help us formulate a best-in-class NITRO-TECH® 100% WHEY GOLD taste profile we know you'll love.
The result is a great-tasting formula that doesn't pack the extra sugar and carbs you'll see in other protein powders. This gives you more protein per scoop and a better overall macronutrient profile.
What's in MuscleTech NITRO-TECH 100% Whey Gold
Directions For NITRO-TECH 100% Whey Gold: Mix 1 serving (1 scoop) with 6 oz. of cold water or skim milk or mix 2 servings (2 scoops) with 12 oz. of cold water or skim milk in a glass or shaker cup. Use between major meals and before and after exercise. Read the entire label before use and follow directions provided.
Warnings: Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Consult a medical doctor if you have a medical condition or before starting a diet or exercise program. Discontinue use and consult a medical doctor if you experience unusual symptoms.

National Guard presence at border to be reduced
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is planning to reduce the number of National Guard troops deployed at the U.S. border with Mexico, the spokesman for a Texas congressman said Tuesday.
The force will be reduced from 1,200 troops starting next year, said Mike Rosen, spokesman for Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas. The exact number of National Guard personnel that will stay on the border is unclear, Rosen said.
The remaining troops are expected to be in place until the end of 2012 and will focus on intelligence operations, Rosen said. McCaul's office said he was told about the change in strategy by an administration official.
Neither the Defense nor Homeland Security departments immediately responded to requests for comment Tuesday.
President Barack Obama ordered the troops to the border last year to help Border Patrol agents watch for illegal crossers and drug and human smugglers. The first of the 1,200 troops arrived in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas in August 2010, and were expected to be in place for about a year. Earlier this year, Obama extended that deployment.
The Guard troops don't have arrest power and have spent much of their time monitoring the 2,000-mile border and alerting Border Patrol agents to suspicious activity. The deployment was to have ended at the end of the year.
The current deployment is the second such troop deployment on the southern border.
From 2006 to 2008, under the direction of President George W. Bush, thousands of troops worked along the Mexican border as part of "Operation Jumpstart." That deployment was designed to help free up Border Patrol agents to focus on border security while the agency hired thousands of new agents.
When Bush deployed the Guard troops there were just over 11,000 agents along the southern border. There are now more than 18,500 agents in place.
It's unclear exactly why Obama has decided to extend the deployment but shrink the number of troops.
But the cost for the deployments has been a concern to lawmakers.
The Defense Department has been footing the bill for the Guard troops and according to the Government Accountability Office has spent about $1.35 billion for deployments under both the Bush and Obama administrations.
The number of arrests of illegal border crossers along the southern border is also at a near 40-year low. The Border Patrol said agents made 327,577 arrests at the Mexican border during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30.
Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Texas Democrat, said given the drop in border arrests and ongoing federal budget woes, the change in strategy appears to him to be a smart use of limited resources.
"I think it's wise for us to see how can we use our dollars in a more efficient way, even it if means less National Guard troops (at the border)," Cuellar said.
Congressional Republicans who have repeatedly said the administration is not doing enough to secure the border with Mexico said Tuesday that reducing the number of personnel along the border won't help the situation.
Rep. Peter King, chairman of the House homeland security committee, said while he supports extending the deployment the strategy is an "ad hoc approach" that needs to be remedied.
"The administration must also develop and present a long-term strategy for securing the border, as opposed to this current ad hoc approach," the New York Republican said.
McCaul, who sits on King's committee, said shifting to a more intelligence-driven mission is fine, but added that he worried about reducing the number of troops.
"This appears to be a step in the right direction toward technology- and intelligence-based efforts to secure the border, which I have been advocating for years," McCaul said. "However, I am concerned that the administration is decreasing overall manpower. While the National Guard is not the long-term solution and has its hands tied, they are necessary until we permanently increase our Border Patrol presence."

Actor Stephen Baldwin was arrested in Manhattan Friday morning for driving with a suspended license.
Baldwin, the younger brother of "30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin, was stopped in a 2013 gold Ford Explorer at West 156 Street and Broadway in the Sugar Hill neighborhood around 6:45 a.m., police said.
The actor had an expired Texas registration and suspended license.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Baldwin, 47, was released with a desk appearance ticket on the license charge.
In 2012, the "Usual Suspects" actor pleaded guilty to driving without a license after he made an illegal U-turn in Harlem, and paid $155 in fines and charges.
In March 2013, Baldwin pleaded guilty to failing to pay three years' state income tax to the amount of $400,000.
A Rockland County judge gave Baldwin five years to pay the debt, and said he could avoid probation if he paid the total within one year. In April, his attorney told the Associated Press that Baldwin beat the deadline.

Five Pearl Harbor veterans honored at annual lunch
Richard Anderson and his best friend, Eugene Whitcomb, joined the Army and Navy together and somehow wound up in the same location after boot camp — Honolulu.
When they got liberty, they'd spend time together at their respective duty stations, and it was Anderson's turn on Sunday morning, Dec. 7, 1941.
"I couldn't go that particular day because I had duty in the day room. We used to take turns cleaning up the day room, and it was my day," he explained. "Otherwise, I'd have been on the Arizona when it sank."
At the head of a long table seating 15 people, with his daughter, Sharon Gregory, at his side, Anderson was one of only five Pearl Harbor veterans at an annual lunch at the Barn Door restaurant — and one of only 14 survivors of the legendary battle still alive in the San Antonio area.
The local chapter of the now-defunct Pearl Harbor Survivors Association has been around for decades — just how long or how big the surviving members can't say, though retired Army Col. Gene Camp, a sergeant in charge of an antiaircraft battery that day, was a member 20 years ago. There may have been 100 members, but that figure is a bit fuzzy.
Organizers Irene Hernandez and Ron Botello, whose father, Raynaldo Botello, died in 2005, started Friday's ceremony with a moment of silence at 11:55 a.m. to mark when the attack began.
"My dad looked forward to this," said the 66-year-old Botello, a San Antonio financial adviser whose father was on the USS Detroit. "When he would come (it) would be the only time he would talk about the attack on Pearl Harbor, when he was amongst those other gentlemen and ladies that were there with him."
Johnny Singleton, too, is gone. A mess attendant aboard the USS Maryland at Pearl Harbor, he died Feb. 23. His widow, Rosa Singleton, and stepdaughter, Idella Elam, were among a group of 50 on hand to celebrate the lives of loved ones who survived the battle and World War II.
"He always talked about what happened that day. He was just getting up that morning to fix his breakfast, and that's when the attack happened," Elam, 55, of San Antonio, recalled.
"Sometimes he woke up and could hear that bomb, the time that bomb went through his ship," said Singleton, 87, of San Antonio. "He was going to fix some cinnamon toast that morning when the siren went off. But he had to drop that and head for his post."
He never ate. The Maryland, moored near the USS Arizona, lost four men after being hit by two bombs, according to the Navy. The Arizona was ripped apart by as many as nine torpedoes and sank in the harbor, losing more than 1,100 men.
The damage report came to 19 U.S. ships sunk or damaged, 2,403 Americans killed in action and 1,178 wounded. Japan lost 29 planes, five small subs and 125 men, but missed four aircraft carriers.
For those here, the memories are still fresh. Then-Radioman 1st Class William St. John, at Naval Air Station Kaneohe, hasn't forgotten the big grins he saw as enemy pilots swooped past a two-story radar and radio transmitter facility.
"They would come in and bank up and away from the tower, at our level. They did not fire a single shot at us as we stood there in the window watching them," said St. John, 91, of San Antonio. "It was just our good fortune, I guess."
Anderson thought back to his luck and a letter to his mother vowing to get revenge for the death of his best friend. A corporal at the time, he got satisfaction by becoming a B-24 bomber pilot, but flew missions over Europe — not Japan as he wanted.
"I always seem to escape by the skin of my teeth. I think it was supposed to be. That's the way I feel about the whole thing. I think a lot of this is ordained way ahead of time. This girl here is the best thing that ever happened to me," he said, looking at his daughter, "and her mother felt the same way."

The Living Stones Rock Pillows had you in for a big surprise. They look so real that you expect them to be hard and cold but as soon as you sit on them you discover how warm and comfortable they are. Maybe you live near the sea which is about 20 minutes walk away from your house, but this does not guarantee you get to see it during the week. On weekends though, you like to venture out of the city and "recharge" yourself with a dose of nature.
In the spirit of embracing nature, the Living Stones are produced using environmentally friendly methods and are toxic free. They come in a choice of fabrics: 100% wool tinted without chemical dye, hypoallergenic Polar Fleece and the covers can even be machine washed. So now when bad weather or previous engagements prevent us from venturing out, we can still enjoy nature in our own private, imaginary landscape.
These pebble and boulder shaped cushions come in different shapes and sizes C from as small as a throw pillow to as big as a couch. True to nature, strewn around your living room or stacked together around your pool or garden, their form and colors give the impression of having your own private beach or river bed.
There is something very impressive about hiking along river beds and canyons where you see the effects time and weather. These areas are always strewn with boulders and pebbles in beautiful shades of various colors, some with spider striping, some plain, asymmetric and in different sizes but all worn smooth to the touch. These weather-worn rocks are exactly what inspired our designers when they designed the "Living Stones".

From November 28 through November 30, 2008, scholars, writers and visual artists will converge in the uncommon town of Bluff, Utah to share their thoughts on the intersection of art and science.
The festival starts off with a Friday afternoon lecture and hike with artist and archaeoastronomy expert, Joe Pachak, who will lead us "In Search of Twin Symbolism".
Former director of the Albert Einstein Planetarium, Von Del Chamberlain, will join us that evening for a discussion of his latest thoughts on "The Eleventh Cosmic Direction" while Joe continues his discussion on "Bluff's Sense of Place".
Saturday is filled with activity beginning with our Walking Trail of the Artists, a leisurely stroll to a variety of venues spotlighting local painters, sculptors, photographers, and jewelry artists.
At these lighthearted receptions, you may visit with the artist, probing for the inspiration for their work. We are joined by regional artists and the Utah Science Center's fabulous Leonardo on Wheels at our Art Fair, one of the stops on the Walking Trail of the Artists.
Leonardo on Wheels will allow you to participate in a flight simulation, create Duff-Art (a very interesting take on your backside) and Seeing YOUR Insides.
Utah's Poet Laureate, Katharine Coles, the founder and co-director of the Utah Symposium in Science and Literature, will lead a writing workshop entitled "Writing What You Don't Know".
Later that evening, she will headline our ever-popular Poetry and Potluck event, a combination of outstanding local cuisine, fine acoustic guitar music by Kyle Bauman and local and international samplings of poetry. Katharine is joined by up-and-coming Navajo writer, Orlando White, as well as local poet and professional entomologist, Lorraine Nakai.
Sunday morning promises more interesting discussion. Our featured artist, JR Lancaster, will lead a discussion on his multimedia installations, "Skeleton Coast" and "Tree of Life".
Professors Becky Monhardt and Jim Barta lead our grand finale, "Artful Expressions of Mathematical Beauty: Native American Cultural Connections", using the exciting Navajo baskets and rugs of the Twin Rocks Trading Post as a backdrop and launching point for discussion.
Bluff is typically blessed with cool, beautiful weather, so prepare yourself to share in the best of Bluff, culturally, physically and aesthetically, by exploring the inner processes of the artistic mind and the outer reaches of our lovely landscape.
All events are free to the public although donations to our wonderful festival are greatly appreciated. Reservations are required for the Joe Pachak lecture and hike as well as the Katharine Coles writing workshop.

Breakdown, with its 18 previously unreleased tracks, is the third release from Old & In the Way, the legendary bluegrass ensemble featuring Jerry Garcia on banjo, fiddle giant Vassar Clements, guitarist/singer-songwriter Peter Rowan, mandolin maven David Grisman and John Kahn on upright bass. The music on this new CD was recorded at the same live performances made famous by the group's two previous releases, the self-titled Old & In the Way, originally issued on the Grateful Dead's Round Records in 1975, and the highly acclaimed That High Lonesome Sound, released in 1996 on Acoustic Disc. Old & In the Way's eclectic and extensive repertoire is again well represented with bluegrass classics like "Mule Skinner Blues," "On and On," "Working On a Building," "Home Is Where the Heart Is" and "'Til the End of the World Rolls 'Round." Other songs are unique to Old & In the Way and include two of Jerry's original banjo tunes, "Old & In the Way Breakdown" and "Jerry's Breakdown," heard here for the first time. As an added bonus, producer Grisman has included alternate versions of six tunes that appeared on the original Old & In the Way recording; "Pig In a Pen," "Midnight Moonlight," "Wild Horses," "Panama Red," "Kissimee Kid" and "The Hobo Song." All this, plus a 20-page booklet featuring newly-discovered photos, notes by bluegrass scholar Neil Rosenberg, and personal reminiscences from Rowan, Clements and the Dawg himself, make this third collection a must for all bluegrass fans, Deadheads, Dawgheads and lovers of American acoustic roots music.

Michelle Obama's inaugural fashion an all-American tribute
It might be back to business in Washington, D.C. but the inaugural interlude made for a stylish few days.
Michelle Obama showed a lot of love for Jason Wu, of course, dressing for the second time in one of his gowns for the inaugural balls. But her choices for other official functions once again demonstrated her loyalty to the American fashion industry as well as her penchant for staying true to her own fashion identity.
Obama's ivory embellished Naeem Khan coat and dress ensemble for Tuesday's prayer service, the black beaded Michael Kors dress she wore over the weekend and even the casual looks she donned all showed her support for the $350 billion fashion industry, said Steven Kolb, CEO of the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
"She's a great force for American fashion," Kolb said. "She's doing more than just picking clothes; she's making a statement. She knows that fashion drives the American economy, whether she's wearing something from a small start-up or a mega brand like J. Crew."

- Page 1 Chilli Technologies Action Cam 1 Review
- Page 2 Performance and Verdict Review
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £21.27
It isn't always easy capturing the most dramatic moments of your life on video. If you're jumping out of a plane, climbing a mountain, or even just riding a bike, you want both your hands free – and holding a camcorder at the same time could even endanger your wellbeing. But dedicated camcorder mounts are pricey, hard to find, and you may not want a device weighing half a kilo strapped to your head. On the other hand, dedicated camcorders aimed at sports usage, such as Oregon Scientific's ATC5K Action Camera could set you back £150 or more. Chilli Technology has other ideas. With its Action Cam 1, the company is offering a head-mounted video camera for less than £25.
The Action Cam 1 is a cylindrical device the size of a small torch. On one edge is a bracket, and opposite that is a small monochrome LCD status screen. The main operation button is on the top, with a smaller button beneath the status screen and a USB 2.0 connection on the bottom. Power comes from a pair of AAA batteries, which aren't included in the box, and video is recorded to removable SD memory, which also isn't included.
However, the most significant omission is a TFT display, unlike the Oregon Scientific ATC5K, and pretty much every camcorder out there. So you can't be sure of precisely what the camera is picking up. Only trial and error can teach you which direction to point the Action Cam 1 in order to grab the subject matter you want. Without a TFT, you have to hook the camcorder up to a computer via USB or pop the memory card into a media reader. So you might end up back up home after a trip before you realise you were shooting in the wrong direction.
We found the lens points slightly below where you might expect. In contrast, when cycling, where your head actually tends to look down most of the time, you need to point the camera slightly upwards to record the road ahead during normal travel. Fortunately, the camcorder body rotates in relation to its bracket, with a ratchet to keep it in place, so minor directional adjustments are possible. Getting the position right will take a few aborted attempts, which can be frustrating. But once you know the correct setup for your activities you can use this each time.
Attaching the Action Cam 1 isn't always easy, though, as the rubber strap supplied to fasten the camcorder is somewhat rudimentary. It's intended for helmet usage, but we found the strap was actually too short for a lot of helmets. For example, the extended rear of the regular adult cycling helmet we tried made it exceptionally hard to fit. We did manage to attach the strap eventually, but it took a few attempts, and cycling helmets with extended fronts and rears might prove beyond the Action Cam 1. It's actually comfortable enough to attach directly on your head, should you be engaging in an activity which doesn't require a helmet, although it's hard not to feel self-conscious with a camera strapped to your temple.

Formula 1 team Mercedes have announced that Toto Wolff, formerly executive director at Williams, and Niki Lauda, non-executive chairman of Mercedes F1 team's board, will both become investors.
Together with team principal Ross Brawn, they will complete a new management line-up for the German carmaker's F1 squad, according to the Formula 1 website.
Wolff, whose Williams departure was announced earlier on Monday, will acquire a "significant minority interest" in the team, which he will head up in his role as executive director of owners Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix Ltd. and will take over the complete coordination of all Mercedes-Benz motorsport activities, the role formerly filled by Norbert Haug.
Wolff sees his new task as one of the most exciting challenges in motorsport.
"Mercedes is one of the most important participants in motorsport worldwide. I am looking forward to the challenge and, along with preparing for a successful racing season, also want to focus on the targeted promotion of new talent," said Wolff.

SKF roller encoder unit
Integrated bearing sensor technology enables automatic mast positioning
Used for mast height or length control, the SKF roller encoder unit facilitates automatic positioning of the mast on industrial vehicles. Electronic sensors integrated in the bearing measure mast height or length as well as speed and acceleration. As the mast is raised and lowered, the unit sends a signal to a controller. The signal is interpreted into exact measurements, which can be displayed digitally.
The SKF roller encoder unit combines intelligent sensor technology with the simplicity of plug-and-play component packaging. Its compact, robust design makes it suitable in harsh working conditions with severe vibration and dust contamination.
System reliability and cost reduction are enhanced due to the low number of components used. The mast can be programmed to a variety of heights, thus enabling less experienced operators to work at maximum efficiency, increasing productivity even further.

OTTAWA - The NDP accused the Conservatives of using a House of Commons committee to whitewash the auditor general's scathing indictment of the government's mammoth F-35 jet fighter procurement.
The NDP levelled the charge in a dissenting opinion to the public accounts committee's report, tabled Wednesday.
"The NDP remains deeply concerned that this study did not allow parliamentarians to shed light and complete the inquiry on this very important matter," says the three-page dissenting opinion.
"Only seven hours of testimony were dedicated to this study, and no responsible ministers appeared during the inquiry."
The committee was responding to the April auditor general's report that blasted the government for a $10-billion cost overrun on the F-35 procurement.
In its 29-page report, the majority Conservative committee offered six recommendations to deal with issues surrounding the cost of the project raised by auditor general Michael Ferguson.
Ferguson criticized National Defence for failing to come clean on potential problems with buying the F-35. The government has disputed the auditor's calculations.
New Democrat committee member Malcolm Allen said Wednesday's report amounted to a mockery of Ferguson's audit.
"What they've done is: you've got a whitewashed version of the auditor general's F-35 report," Allen said in an interview. "I can't put it any plainer than that."
Key among the half-dozen recommendations in the report is one that calls on the government to "table independently verified updated cost estimates" to the public accounts committee by Feb. 7 next year.
The F-35 is designed to replace the country's aging fleet of CF-18 jet fighters.
In his original audit, Ferguson said Public Works should have done a better job of overseeing the purchase. And he said National Defence didn't exercise due diligence.
"The departments did not agree with this conclusion, as they felt that the level of due diligence was appropriate within the time frame covered by the audit," Wednesday's committee report said.
"The committee agrees that in order to ensure better due diligence going forwards, the government needs to clarify roles and responsibilities involving procurement contracts, as well as what steps need to be taken, and in what order."
The committee also noted that the government immediately released a comprehensive, seven-point action plan as soon as the auditor's report was released.
The government's response amounted to freezing spending on the project, and stripping Defence of the ability to buy new weapons systems and handing that responsibility to Public Works.
Ferguson concluded in his report: "Briefing material did not inform senior decision makers, central agencies, and the Minister of the problems and associated risks of relying on the F-35 to replace the CF-18 … Nor did National Defence provide complete cost information to parliamentarians."
The committee said Wednesday that the government must replace the CF-18s in a timely manner.
"But it believes that maintaining the public's trust in the process requires a transparent and accountable process that provides full and complete information to Canadians."
