Enough With the HIV Treatment Cascade Research, Let's Do Something About It Already
If I hear or read another proclamation about the "HIV treatment cascade" and the need for more research to understand engagement in care, I am going to scream! There, I said it. It seems this cascade -- described initially by Laura Cheever at HRSA and most recently and formally by Gardner and colleagues -- has taken the HIV world by storm. It has captivated the field of HIV practitioners, advocates, researchers and scientists and peppers nearly every lecture at conferences and conversation at the watercooler. But why?
My growing frustration with this new scientific obsession is related to calls for more research to understand and address the cascade. As a CDC-trained epidemiologist, I am a stalwart champion and advocate for research. Research has its place, just not in this area. My experience as a clinician who sees these challenges playing out on the ground day after day has me convinced we don't need more research to explain it or identify interventions. To those who argue for more research, I say: We know these barriers all too well. The cascade describes phenomena we have been witnessing in our daily struggles to link, engage and retain people in care for two decades. Furthermore, the literature is rich with data describing predictors of adherence and barriers to engagement in care, including drug addiction, mental illness and lack of social support. Instead, we need program implementation, policy changes and modification in resource allocation to confront previously identified challenges we have yet to address.
Just last week, a 57-year-old male was diagnosed in our emergency department, but refused linkage because he didn't believe he was HIV positive. Although he was sexually active, he did not consider himself at risk for HIV. A 23-year-old man was diagnosed and linked, but refused medication because he heard "somewhere" the medications would make him sicker than the disease and that, if he ever stopped the medication or missed a dose, he would become resistant to all treatment options and die of AIDS. Finally, a 34-year-old woman diagnosed five years ago was recently linked to care and diagnosed with PCP. She was lost to follow-up for six months and returned requiring hospitalization. She stopped her medication because she grew tired of hiding it from her family. These are the reasons for the gaps in the cascade and the solutions don't require more research. They require services, support and education to address HIV-related stigma throughout the health care industry and within the community.
Adding to my frustration is knowing that we are trapped in a system we created. Funding allocation -- be it governmental or private -- largely does not address stigma, shame and denial. Our priorities are elsewhere and our sights are often set on following specific guidelines, templates and processes and developing deliverables, SMART objectives and beautiful logic models. Meanwhile, the community is wandering around in ignorance about the availability of treatment and the ability to live a normal life with HIV infection.
I recognize that saying the cascade gaps are driven by stigma, denial and shame sounds clichés, and for some it surely elicits eye rolling, but the negative perceptions within the health care industry and the community are directly impacting willingness to test, link, engage and adhere to HIV care and treatment. So, what are we going to do about it? We can never know everything about the gaps, but we already certainly know enough. Let's change the way we are talking about this cascade. Let's talk about structural interventions like implementing strategies to normalize HIV testing and facilitate linkage to care in primary care and other medical settings. Let's create sustainable collaborations with mavens and visible people like actors, hip hop artists, athletes and elected officials to improve HIV literacy. Let's change our approach to and funding strategies for HIV-related training to achieve more actionable and concrete outcomes that impact the way people think about and address HIV.
I know addressing community and provider HIV literacy is not as sexy as an observational or randomized study. Doing so pushes us beyond our comfort with the status quo and the familiar. We excel at identifying and characterizing a problem, only to then call for more research to further characterize the problem. We have to change. We speak eloquently about ending the epidemic and having the tools to do so. But if we really mean and believe what we are saying, we have to change and operationally address these challenges. If we don't, we can forget ending the epidemic. Then I really will have something to scream about.

My name is Shawn Bright. I am an Eminence City Council member and I'm writing this letter to help the residents of Eminence understand some issues that I personally have had lots of phone calls about.
It has been 16 years since Kentuckians voted 2-to-1 to update our constitution so that charities could offer games like bingo and raffles to raise money.
Since then, Kentuckians have shown a ready willingness to help out. In fact, more was raised via charitable gaming last year – $489 million – than was wagered on horse racing, which brought in $470 million.
Ever since the 2008 Kentucky Primaries, I have tried my best to convince the many Hillary supporters that they should vote for Obama in the general election. Many cite the fact that his age of 47 years is too young to which I usually counter with the fact that Senator John F. Kennedy was 43 years old and Governor Bill Clinton was 46 years old when they became president.
I would like to say thank you to Henry County Public Schools and Wehr Construction for their efforts to allow us to continue to have the Friends for Michael 5k run/walk at the high school. Frankly, I would have not been surprised if we had been told to find another place to host it this year because of the construction.
The ninth annual New Castle Fall Fling will be held this Saturday, Oct. 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It will be located around the historic Henry County Courthouse. East Cross Main Street will be closed starting at 6 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 3, until approximately 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4.
With just five weeks to go, the 2008 general election is creeping up on us.
I don't think anyone really needs me to say just how important this election is.
As a nation, we're in a scary place. The financial crisis weighs heavy, or should, on everyone's mind. Whoever wins in November — for president, Senate or House — will have some serious work to do.
We have a unique right that, even in this historic year, only about half of all Americans are likely to exercise.
In 40 years of marriage, my husband and I and our children – all now grown – have lived in five states and about twice that many houses, beginning with a mobile home in Kansas. On three occasions we lived in subdivisions, most recently on the east side of Louisville. That was never our 'cup of tea.'
Words can't express our thanks and appreciation for our great neighbors, the Rogers' family, the Worford family for helping us open our road. We all worked together to clear eight to 10 downed trees on Flatrock and Mt. Glead Roads. A big thanks to the Shelby Rural Electric men, who worked endlessly to get our light lines back up and running. Neighbors and friends like Shelby Rural Electric, working together, in the time of need gives us all hope for the future.
Wendell and Barbara Parks
New Castle
I hope and pray everybody who will be 18 by Nov. 4 is registered to vote at their present address. Everyone needs to vote for their choice.
My little ads in the paper last week about my McCain/Palin signs were terrific. The calls are still coming.
Thank you for being our Henry County Local.

My name is Richard Thomas. I am a member of the Eminence City Council. I want the residents to know that on Sept. 8, I officially withdrew my name as candidate for reelection to Eminence City Council.
When I took office, I told the residents that I would do the best job for them that I could. But when I stood up for what is right, I was voted down 5-1, often. Numerous threats have been made against me. I took my concerns to several government agencies, including the FBI. Only time will tell what will happen.
When school is called off, everyone knows before their first cup of coffee.
As a customer of the Henry County Water District, I am upset with the way the recent water outage was handled. I completely understand the problems that can arise when dealing with broken infrastructure in a large area. I can even maintain patience when those problems cause me to conserve water over a long period of time. However, I am outraged at the lack of communication the water district had, not only to me, but also to the children of our community.
I'm sure most of us will remember where we were when hurricane force winds ripped through the midwest, knocking out power for hundreds of thousands, just in our little neck of the woods.
In fact, I was in the woods when the winds hit.
I gave in to what has become a regular weekend urge, and went for a hike Sunday morning. I laced up my now well worn boots, tossed the backpack in the truck and made for Clifty Falls State Park.
I am writing today on the topic of the Eminence public pool. The Making Waves Foundation has raised several thousand dollars from the community in an effort to restore our city pool. Shawn Bright said in the newspaper article regarding the restoring of the pool "that was a lot of money for one group of kids." Since the estimates kept rising out of control, the city pulled the plug on the pool project and now we are left with thousands of dollars and still nothing for the kids to do.

When my husband and I first moved to Henry County about ten years ago, we agreed that our little century-old farmhouse, while badly in need of serious upgrading, was nonetheless charming and felt immediately like home. We both loved our mix of woods and pastures, our long winding driveway, and the ponds scattered here and there. What we did not share feelings about was an old barn that stood just sixty yards from a shiny new metal one and directly in view from the house.
September 7 through September 13 is Suicide Prevention Week. This is the one topic that many would love not to talk about. It's one of the elephants in the living room. Why is it that we can talk about alcohol/drugs, breast cancer, heart, diabetes or any other medical problem, yet suicide is one that we can't or won't talk about?
Every 16 minutes someone completes suicide, every 17 minutes someone is left behind to ask, "Why?"
In Kentucky here are some of the facts about suicide:
Over the years, as the number of counties offering alcohol has increased, there has been a greater push by the state to ensure that underage drinkers are being protected.
It's been a largely successful effort so far, according to information from the Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), which has two main programs that ensure those serving alcohol know the law, and know that they are being watched.
In recent months there have been a series of reports from state and national organizations that have given us a much clearer picture of Kentucky's collective health. Unfortunately, their overall assessment is not positive, due largely to problems that are preventable.
Perhaps the most alarming statistic of all comes from the Kentucky Institute of Medicine, which found that no other state has a higher mortality rate. None of our 120 counties, in fact, is below the national average.
"Thanks" to the Eminence City Council for giving its approval for a city-wide yard and garage sale that was held in our community on August 9. This was the first time Eminence had held an event of this nature. In conjunction with the National Garage/Yard Sale Day, things worked well. The NGYSD, is a time when communities work together to reduce, reuse and recycle merchandise that would otherwise be thrown away.

A BBC radio show compiled a list of the 100 most powerful women in Britain, and—surprise, surprise!—the Queen is NUMBER ONE! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! San Dimas High School Football Rules!!!
She commands obedience only from her staff and her corgis, but Queen Elizabeth II has been named Britain's most powerful woman by a BBC radio program.
The monarch topped the list of 100 female figures announced Tuesday on "Woman's Hour," though she is above party politics and her role in government is limited to formalities.
The list was dominated by business leaders and politicians. Home Secretary Theresa May - Britain's interior minister - ranked second, followed by Ana Botin, chief executive of Santander U.K. bank.
So...the most powerful woman in Britain is a symbolic figurehead with no actual power? How empowering!
Of course, everyone knows that by royal decree you have to give the queen 1st prize, or else you wake up to Sir Ilyn Payne creepin' out of your closet and offing with your head. Other things in England that the queen is best at: croquet, high-jump, Mario Kart, Sexiest Man Alive, World's Greatest Grandpa, hot-dog-eating, being a woman made out of playing cards for some reason, and throwing. It's like an entire system of government based on that episode of 30 Rock where Grizz and Dot Com let Tracy think he's really good at Halo.

OHL Roundup: Griffith scores overtime winner for KnightsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
Seth Griffith kept the London Knights rolling by staying hot himself.
Griffith scored twice, including the winner 3:13 into overtime, as the London Knights edged the visiting Kingston Frontenacs 6-5 on Sunday in Ontario Hockey League action.
Griffith now has five game-winning goals and 27 goals and 58 points in 36 games, which is good for third in OHL scoring.
The victory extends London's franchise-best win streak to 21 games, which is just four shy of the OHL record set by the 1983-84 Kitchener Rangers.
Ryan Rupert also scored twice for the Knights (29-5-2), who improved to 15-3-2 on home ice, while Chris Tierney had a goal and two assists.
Rupert, a 2012 selection of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has three goals and nine points in his last eight games while Tierney has two goals and seven points in his last five outings.
Josh Anderson scored twice as Bo Horvat and Jacob Jammes each had two assists to round out London's offence.
Sam Povorozniouk had a goal and an assist for the Frontenacs (17-15-2), who have dropped back-to-back games, and Cody Alcock, Samuel Schutt, Slater Doggett and Jean Dupuy each scored once.
Jake Patterson started in goal for the London but was replaced after allowing three goals on 19 shots through 23 minutes of action.
Kevin Bailie stopped 7 of 9 shots in the final 42 minutes of relief to pick up his 17th victory of the season while Colin Furlong turned away 42-of-48 shots in a losing cause for Kingston.
The Knights went 1 for 4 on the power play while the Frontenacs failed to score on either of their chances with the man advantage.
Elsewhere in the OHL, it was: Brampton 4, Niagara 1; Sudbury 3, Mississauga 1; Barrie 4, Peterborough 1; Oshawa 4, Ottawa 3 and Sault Ste. Marie 4, Windsor 1.
At London, Ont., Tierney and Rupert scored less than two minutes apart to give the Knights a 2-0 lead eight minutes into the first period, but Alcock and Povorozniouk responded for Kingston to make it 2-2 after 20 minutes of play.
Dupuy gave the Frontenacs their first lead of the game at 3:23 of the second period before Anderson replied for London at 6:51.
Doggett made it 4-3 Kingston heading into the third period.
Schutt extended the Frontenacs' lead at 8:13 of the third, however their lead quickly dissolved as Griffith scored his first of the day and Rupert added his second at 15:04 to force overtime.
Battalion 7 IceDogs 1
At Brampton, Ont., Brandon Robinson scored three goals and added an assist and Patrik Machac had a goal and two assists as the Battalion (17-14-5) crushed Niagara (20-13-2) to move within three points of the IceDogs for second place in the Central Division.
Wolves 3 Steelheads 1
At Mississauga, Ont., Nathan Pancel scored the winner late in the second period and Joshua Leivo had a goal and an assist as Sudbury (14-16-6) downed the Steelheads (18-12-3) to earn at least one point in its fifth straight outing.
Colts 4 Petes 1
At Peterborough, Ont., Andreas Athanasiou, Zach Hall and Erik Bradford each had a goal and an assist and Alex Fotinos stopped 36 shots as Barrie (23-9-1) handed the Petes (8-23-4) their third loss in a row.
Generals 4 67's 3
At Oshawa, Ont., Cole Cassels scored twice, including the winner at 14:06 of the third period, and Daniel Altshuller turned away 30-of-33 shots as the Generals (20-12-3) beat Ottawa (9-24-3) for their third straight win.
Greyhounds 4 Spitfires 1
At Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Michael Schumacher and Nick Cousins both scored and had two assists as the Greyhounds (17-16-2) downed Windsor (14-15-6),

By now, you know the drill: Mansur Gavriel bags are cult favorites, they're permanently sold out and it's virtually impossible to get your hands on one without a months-in-advance pre-order. The good news, however, is that an opportunity for one such pre-order just arose at Moda Operandi, and it includes canvas and soft leather bags that are brand new for Spring 2015.
The only new shape that MG will introduce for Spring 2015 is a snap-closured envelope clutch, but the bucket bags, totes and backpacks will get a season-appropriate revamp in fine-gauge canvas trimmed with leather. I saw a prototype of one of these bags in person several months ago, on the arm of one of the brand's owners, and it was one of the nicer majority-canvas bags I've ever seen; slightly nautical, a little preppy and just about as luxurious as a bag can be if it's not made entirely of some sort of leather.
The second notable development in this collection is the addition of a leather that appears to have some slouch to it. Previously, the brand had featured three types of stiff leather, but if that's not your thing, a soft, pebble-grained leather will be an option in the coming season.
Check out some of our favorite bags from the collection below or shop the full selection at Moda Operandi through September 15.

How we learn and read music hasn't changed in hundreds of years.
Until now.
Hummingbird co-founder and music teacher Blake West was inspired to create an entirely new music notation when he saw a lot of his students struggling with how to read music, West tells Business Insider.
"I felt like they weren't doing as well as they should be," West says. "As a teacher, I felt like I was spending too much time trying to teach people how to read music."
Generally speaking, it could take someone anywhere from three to nine months in order to gain some level of confidence reading traditional sheet music, West says. But with Hummingbird, that time is measured in minutes.
"We see it as something that can be beneficial for anyone," West says. "Beginners get the most value out of it now. It's designed to speed of the process of learning music."
With Hummingbird notation, aspiring musicians don't need to count lines. And every note has its own symbol.
The idea isn't to change the meaning of music, West says, but rather make learning music more accessible to people.
When developing Hummingbird notation, West and his co-founder Mike Sail tried just about everything. They experimented with colors, shapes, lines, squiggles, and other symbols.
Sail says that they weren't satisfied with any aspect of the notation until students were able to guess what the notation meant without needing any explanation.
Down the road, Hummingbird will release a tablet app that replicates the experience of having a teacher right in front of you. In terms of monetization, Hummingbird plans to open up a sheet music store, and license the music to other content creators and publishers.
Since launching last month, Hummingbird has seen 80,000 unique visitors download 25,000 pieces of sheet music.
But Hummingbird is already receiving some backlash from traditional musicians. West says some highly-trained musicians have called the idea terrible.
Though, West says he can understand where the critics are coming from.
"When I started teaching, I underestimated the difficulty of learning traditional notation," West says. "Once you know it well, it's very easy to forget that it was hard to learn in the first place."
As much backlash Hummingbird has received from professional musicians, Sail says they're still receiving tons of emails and comments from people who believe in the platform.
One man, who has always had trouble learning music because of his dyslexia, told Sail how Hummingbird is much easier for him.
"It's been polarizing in both directions," Sail says.
The ultimate goal for Hummingbird is to provide a legitimate alternative to reading traditional sheet music.
"We want it to be the type of thing where no one feels the need to switch to traditional," West says. "We're not saying professionals need to switch over or trying to convert people already great at learning music."

1- Retinitis Pigmentosa Treatment / Cure
- Retinitis pigmentosa is a genetic disease
- The main problem is about reseptor dystrophy
- It has two reseptors dystrophy, rod dystrophy and con dystrophy
- Reinitis Pigmentosa is progressive
- Retinitis Pigmentosa can result in blindness
- Retinitis Pigmentosa can be systemic such as
- Usher syndrom and Bardet-Biedl Syndrome
Usher Syndrome : Retinitis Pigmentosa is associated with deafness
Bardet-Biedl Sydrome:
- Retinitis Pigmentosa
- Obesity,
- Polydactyly (might be connected with insulin releasing disorders)
- Hypogonadism
- Kidney problems
2- There are two types of reseptors dystrophy:
- If the patient suffers from rod dystrophy, the problem will be related with peripheric vision loss which means the patient has a "tunnel vision"
- If patient suffers from Con Dystrophy, central vision loss will be unavoidable
- Eventually It paves the way to blindness
3- Symptoms:
- Nyctalopia
- Night blindness
- Adaptation disorders
- Patient can 't adjust well to dark and dimly lit environments
- Bumping into furniture or doorframes
- Diffuculties in playing games,tenis baseball and baskedball
- Vision is often worse under bright lighting
- Color discrimination is also a serious problem
- Myopy and astigmatism shoudn't be mislead in terms of diagnosis
- Patient can report small flashes of light or a twinkling shimmering
This abberant impuls shows the degenerating retina in retinityis pigmentosa cases
4- Causes:
- Mutation of -Rodopsin and Peripherin
- Mutation of c-GMP phosphodiesteras
- c-GMP phosphodiesterase affects visual transduction cascade in general vision process,
- c-GMP is destroyed by c-GMP phosphodiesterase
- Apoptosis of Photoreceptor cells
- Splycing complex failure
- Being unable to restore external segments of rod cells
5- Examination:
- Pigmentation in Retina
- Attenuation in retinal arteries
- Wawy pallor of the optic nevre head
6- Diagnosis:
- Vision
- Vision field
7- Complication:
- • Cataract
- Cystic macular oedem and Macular degeneration
- Myope
- Astigmatism
- Keratoconus
- Glaucoma
- Nistagmus
- Optic Atrophy
8- Treatment / Cure :
- Genes Theraphy
- Adeno-Virus
A.A.V (Adeno-Assosiated Virus) and Lentiviruses are used as vectors.
There are 2 major problems in theraphy
- vectors can't be placed in the target area
- virus expression can't be controlled
Other problem also is that it damages antibody production.
So; Immun system deficiency causes cancer and patient deaths
At the present starting from 2007 gene therapies are forbidden by FDA.
Biyonic Eye Applications
1-Bionic eye and video camera are hand made and its production takes 6 months.
In addition; The patient using bionic eye has to live near a cure center for 3 years and has to be under control. Only patients with %0 or near %0 sight can benefit from this cure which means patients whose vision are above %5 are completely taken out of this practice.
2- What are the risks at bionic eye applications?
Because of the distance of the electrods to retina the communication is getting difficult. However,if the electrods would brought near to retina then retina cells may be damaged due to heat.
Bionic eye works with electricity thus a level of heat comes out and its unavoidable that the tissues in retina are seriously and permanently damaged due to the excess heat.
3- How can be bionic eye implanted?
With the electrods placed at retina tissue the vision cortex of brain is stimulated.This is called bionic eye. First experiments started with 16 electrodes than the number of electrodes were increased to 60.There is a hope that if the number of electrods will be increased to 80 vision might get better either.
Except the system placed in the eye,with the help of a video camera put into the glasses images are taken and are moved with a cable to the electrods. It is reported that this camera system can only be used in hospitals,its not possible yet to use it outside. When the patient with bionic eye has to make rapid head movements the eye can perceive the new image only 10-15 minutes later.Briefly,the adaptation process takes too long.
4- What type of vision can provide bionic eye?
It's become known that a vision like black-and-white and a silhoutte is possible.

Each week on the San Joaquin River, a chemist doubles as a boat captain. David Callas, who works for the city of Stockton, has tested the river's water quality so many times since 1989 that by now, a day on the Delta is just another day at work.
Each week on the San Joaquin River, a chemist doubles as a boat captain. David Callas, who works for the city of Stockton, has tested the river's water quality so many times since 1989 that by now, a day on the Delta is just another day at work.
"There are tougher jobs out there," he said one recent morning as the boat plied its way upstream for routine tests required by law. "Especially when it's a beautiful day like this."
A sea lion splashed alongside the boat, as if giving chase. Egrets took flight from the levees, startled by the motor.
The scenery, however, does not tell the whole story.
Forty years after the Clean Water Act became law, this river and virtually every stream in San Joaquin County is legally considered polluted.
The act boldly aimed to eliminate the discharge of pollution into rivers and streams by 1985. Decades later, the list of "impaired" waterways has grown longer - not shorter. According to one estimate, at the current rate it would take 500 years to clean up waters across the country.
This does not mean the law has failed, experts say.
The list has grown longer not because the water is getting worse, but because we have discovered previously unknown problems, regulators say.
For context, the Clean Water Act was passed at a time when cities were simply dumping their sewage into the nearest convenient waterway.
San Francisco Bay stank. Corrosive gas from the raw sewage peeled the paint off the buildings. The Cuyahoga River in Ohio burst into flames.
These most glaring problems have been corrected.
And yet, the promise of the law remains unfulfilled. Agriculture, a major source of Valley pollution, is exempt from the Clean Water Act. Regulatory agencies in lean budget times struggle to adequately enforce it.
And scientists are only now learning about thousands of chemicals that are not regulated under the law, and slip past our treatment plants into the Delta each day.
Prescription medications that pass through our bodies. Personal care products we use in the sink or shower. Even something like caffeine.
It's not clear how these affect the environment - including, ultimately, the humans that swim, fish and drink these waters.
"You can't create new water, but you definitely can destroy it," said Tina Swanson, a scientist with the environmental group Natural Resources Defense Council. "The Clean Water Act was our first step toward recognizing that, but the fact that we still have all of these water bodies that are polluted means we have a long way to go."
Part of the problem is simple geography. San Joaquin County is at the ground floor of the Central Valley. We deal not only with our own mess, but also with the messes created by upstream cities and farms.
Add to that the fact that a Lake Shasta-size volume of water is exported from the Delta each year, and you're left with stagnant conditions that allow nasty things to accumulate in backwaters and sloughs - pesticides that wash off farmers' fields or our own front yards, bacteria from pet and even human feces, heavy metals such as mercury that have persisted in our waterways since the Gold Rush.
Big facilities such as sewage treatment plants are easy targets.
"But you can't put all the blame on us," said Mel Lytle, director of Stockton's Municipal Utilities Department.
The city has done well on things within its control, regulators say. Stockton spent $42 million to reduce ammonia discharges at its treatment plant. Ammonia sucks the oxygen out of water, killing fish.
Stockton hasn't violated ammonia limits since early 2011, records show. It was fined $63,000 for that incident.
Conditions for fish in the Stockton Deep Water Channel have improved.
"The upgrade at the Stockton plant made a huge difference," Ken Landau, assistant executive officer with the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, the agency charged with implementing and enforcing the Clean Water Act.
Stockton did not exactly embrace the prospect of upgrading its plant. It fought a new permit issued by the board and ultimately filed suit to try to block it.
Therein lies another problem: the Clean Water Act provides funding for cities to make expensive upgrades, but with an estimated $298 billion in improvements still needed across the country, demand is high for federal assistance, and it's tougher for local agencies to stomach the big investment.
It's one thing to clean up toilet waste. Water splashing off Stockton streets and into our gutters is also polluted - and that water goes directly to the Delta via 400 miles of storm lines and 158 separate discharge pipes.
A coalition of south Valley farmers sued the city in 2009, arguing Stockton's stormwater pollution harms the Delta and, in turn, their water supply.
In a document filed with the state earlier this year, the city reports overall improvement in the quality of that runoff - though hot spots remain, such as Smith Canal, where fecal bacteria tend to accumulate after storms. The canal drains an urban area of about 5 square miles.
Strategies to clean up stormwater are less stringent than wastewater. Streets are swept clear of debris, storm drains are stenciled, programs are established to properly collect hazardous waste.
But as treatment plants clean up their act, state regulators say they'll be looking at stormwater "a little more carefully" in the future. That could mean tougher requirements and higher bills for ratepayers.
"We want to make this a real program and really start addressing those problems," said Pamela Creedon, the water board's executive officer.
One of the messiest scenarios, all too familiar around Thanksgiving, is when oils and fats clog sewer lines and waste spills out onto city streets and into storm drains. It has happened thousands of times in Stockton. Almost 150,000 gallons of waste - enough to fill eight swimming pools - has seeped into our rivers and streams over the past five years.
Stockton was sued over that issue, too, this time by environmentalists. The result of that litigation was a new program to boost inspections and reduce the number of spills, and it appears to be helping.
As of September, 77 sewer overflows had occurred this year. That's compared with 182 overflows in all of 2011 and 167 the year before that.
Agriculture escaped the clutches of the Clean Water Act. Yet pesticides applied to farmers' fields remain a significant part of the problem, experts say.
A controversial state program requires coalitions of farmers to monitor water quality downstream from their lands and to encourage neighbors to reduce toxic runoff.
Still, farmers are not required to get permits like treatment plants or factories.
Eight years after the program started, officials say water quality is starting to improve in Duck Creek, an agricultural drainage southeast of Stockton.
"Yeah, I'd say it's been successful," said Mike Wackman, spokesman for a farmers' coalition in San Joaquin County. "Growers are responding to us."
About 85 percent of the local growers are members of the coalition, he said, adding it's hard to say why the other 15 percent have not participated.
Landau, with the water board, said there has been "definite improvement," though officials don't have enough data yet to put a number on it.

Mario Cart For Linux – Super Tux Racer
Mario Cart has been a long time favorite of children and adults everywhere after becoming an immediate hit when the first version, Super Mario Cart was launched in the early 1990's for the super NES system from Nintendo. The success of Mario Cart may be attributed to its easy to pick up game play and addictive racing fun such as throwing banana peals and launching kuppa shells at your opponents.
Linux users have access to Super Tux Cart which offers similar game play but gives us a chance to take on opponents with Tux the penguin. SuperTuxCart version 0.5 was released on June 3, 2008 and offers many improvements such as a new game mode called follow the leader, new music, and translations into German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and Swedish.

REDWOOD FALLS, MINN. -- In their first face-to-face meeting after months of blasting each other from a distance, U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman and DFL challenger Al Franken sharply questioned each other's fitness for office during a forum at FarmFest, the state's largest agricultural gathering.
Franken, who has been struggling to gain ground on the Republican incumbent, was aggressive from the start, criticizing Coleman for taking contributions from oil companies and repeatedly faulting him for his fealty to President Bush.
"People are hurting because Bush has sent the economy into a ditch, and Norm Coleman has been riding shotgun the whole way," Franken said at a table set up under a white tent packed with farmers. "We need a change in this country, and I'm going to bring a change."
Coleman avoided the pointed attacks on Franken's tax missteps and edgy comedy that marked his recent ads but cited his own work on the Senate Agriculture Committee and said he has proven to Minnesota farmers that he's working on their behalf.
"More than anyone else, I know the difference between talk and results," Coleman said. "You have to ask of each candidate, what have we done in our lives to merit serving you in the U.S. Senate?"
Coleman and Franken were joined by endorsed Independence Party candidate Stephen Williams and by Dean Barkley, who served as a U.S. senator for two months after Sen. Paul Wellstone's death in 2002 and who is challenging Williams in the Independence Party primary. Another IP candidate, Jack Uldrich, who was excluded from the debate, took questions from farmers outside the tent and sent them out over the Internet.
All four debate participants emphasized renewable fuel research and production on farms. Coleman and Franken praised the recently passed farm bill, with both calling it a needed safety net for farmers.
Looking for a wedge against two vastly better-known candidates, Barkley and Williams mixed policy with potshots at the political system and what they said was out-of-control spending by the dominant parties.
"I love our country, and I can't stand what the two-party system is doing to our country," Barkley said. "It's dragging us down. It's heading us in the wrong direction."
Fuel costs and energy policy dominated much of the forum, which ran just over an hour and was followed by a congressional debate that was broadcast on radio stations across the state.
As an Ag committee member, Coleman held something of a home-field advantage, and afterward, Franken spokeswoman Jess McIntosh said they counted the debate a success because "Franken held his own on ag issues."
Strolling from the DFL booth to the soybean tent, Franken said, "I think people were impressed and maybe pleasantly surprised by my farm policy, being conversant on the issues." As for his tone, he said, "I'm going to hold Norm accountable for his votes."
Coleman, at a table next to Johnson Seed Co., said he thought Franken's constant attempts to link him to Bush would backfire. "These are my people," he said, shaking hands with the farmers wearing feed caps who were milling around the tent. "This is like spitting into the wind for him." Franken, he said, "is hitting hard because he's behind. I get that. But he's starting out too negative. People get tired of it."
Talking energy policy
During the debate, Coleman called for an all-out approach on energy that would include oil drilling off the coasts, sugar-based ethanol and a kick-started nuclear energy policy.
"You've got to do it all," he said. "If we can do that, we will no longer be held hostage to Saudi sheiks and others who are not our friends."
Franken said he's not opposed to some offshore drilling or expansion of nuclear power if waste can be disposed of properly. But he said drilling would not solve long-term energy problems, calling instead for an "Apollo program for renewable energy" and a short-term release of oil from the nation's strategic reserves.
"We're talking about wind, we're talking about biomass and bioefuels, we're talking about rail, we're talking electric hybrid cars," he said. "We need to have a massive reinvestment in renewable energy and the winner will be rural Minnesota."
All the candidates agreed on the importance of giving farmers the option to designate some of their cropland in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), but all four said they support opening up more of the land to livestock grazing. Williams, a political novice, several times stressed his 28 years as a corn farmer.
Immigration, a topic close to ag producers who still rely heavily on imported labor, drew a varied responses from the candidates, with Coleman arguing that border security and enforcement must come before establishment of a guest worker program, which Bush has been trying to get passed. The others said Coleman's approach was impractical.
"Let's restore some sanity," Barkley said. "We're not going to deport 12 million people. That's absurd -- we couldn't do that if we wanted to."

Tropical depression appears to pose no threat to South Florida
A tropical depression formed just south of Puerto Rico on Wednesday, a sign the tropics might be stirring from a happily slumbering first half of hurricane season.
The system, which forecasters at the National Hurricane Center expected to strengthen into Tropical Storm Gabrielle by Wednesday evening or early Thursday, was initially projected to remain well off the coast of Florida. But another tropical wave trailing the depression could affect its path and added uncertainty to the forecast.
"It's too early to tell what, if any, impact it would have on Florida or the U.S. East Coast," said NHC spokesman Dennis Feltgen, "with the emphasis on 'if any.' "
The depression did pose a definite threat to Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Dominican Republic. Winds were relatively weak at 30 mph but the disorganized system could still dump three to six inches of rain over wide areas in its path, with up to 10 inches in spots. The deluge could trigger potentially dangerous flooding and mudslides, particularly in Puerto Rico, which has already seen heavy rain throughout the summer. Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands also could see rain and strong winds over the next few days.
Forecasters gave the depression little chance of strengthening into the season's first hurricane, saying it will encounter more hostile atmospheric conditions as crosses eastern Hispaniola and moves from the Caribbean Sea and into the Atlantic Ocean over the next few days.
At that point, they expect an upper level trough digging down across the southeastern U.S. to steer the storm into the open Atlantic. But a second, larger disturbance a few hundred miles northeast could act to slow the depression and at least potentially alter its course.
While South Florida appears likely to avoid tropical storm impacts, it may still see rain this weekend. The same trough likely to ward off likely-to-be Gabrielle also will increase rain chances locally, said Brad Diehl, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Miami.
The NWS projects a 50 percent chance of rain on Saturday and 40 percent on Sunday, with mostly inland storms scattered across the region. Diehl said it was too soon to say whether there might be soggy conditions for the much-anticipated University of Miami vs. University of Florida football game at Sun Life Stadium.
"With anything at this time of the year, you have to have a wait-and-see attitude,'' he said.

New "Wired" review of the Y480:
Review: Lenovo IdeaPad Y480 Ivy Bridge Laptop
I don't think they like it.
Also, this Wikipedia article on the Ivy Bridge technology says that:
"Ivy Bridge's temperatures are reportedly 20°C higher compared to Sandy Bridge when overclocked."
Ivy Bridge (microarchitecture) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Won't that play havoc, in the already high temperatures debate, of the Lenovo Y-series. What I mean is, if your Y470 runs hot at 90 degrees, and throttles the CPU, what will the Y480 do?
_________________________________________________________________________I'm DO'ing ITYoga 900 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz (Skylake-Y)
X1 Carbon 2nd Gen (20A8) ThinkPad/YOGA Tablet 2 Pro-1380F/IdeaCentre A520 All-In-One i5-3230M/Lenovo Y470 i7-2630QM/T420
Can't wait to read your review. I purchased the same configuration and plan to swap out the 32GB SSD with a Kingston HyperX 240GB boot drive
I read it was a separate 2.5" drive - now I'm royally confused! Anyone have an answer to this one (or actually have one to play with?)
My credit card was charged yesterday by Lenovo in Morrisville, NC - so it must be shipping soon - fingers crossed!
At least you can see your Nvidia. On my Y480 can not see the Nvidia card. Tried installing Lenovo Nvidia drivers which errored out. Also tried Nvidia 296 and Beta 300 drivers which exited when they could detect a Nvidia Card.
UEFI/EFI Bios is set for "Switchable Graphics". Some one forget to the card in??? Tech support wants me to double check device manager (I will any way) other wise time to call Post Sales Support...
New Y580 is now up for order, it has Nvidia GTX660M graphics -- a whole bunch more powerful than the Y480. The Full HD 1920 x 1080 screen is there as promised too:
OK guys - I finally got my laptop last week and now I'm ready to review:
FIrst, let me just say that I do not use the comp for gaming. My college days are over and I have an XBOX 360 for gaming. Computers are for work and graphics, watching movies and TV now. That being said, here are the specs:
Y480 - 1TB Hard Drive 5400 RPM, 32GB SSD boot drive, 8GB RAM, COre i7 2.30 Ghz Ivy Bridge, Windows 7 Home Premium.
Overall: FANTASTIC. I love this computer. More below.
1) Lightning fast. I haven't had a computer move this fast in so long. There is no lag loading programs, surfing the web, etc.
2) INSTANTANEOUS booting. I will put it to sleep and then open it up over 24 hours later (I don't take it to work with me, don't use it on the Sabbath, etc.) and it will boot up to the logon screen in half a second, and then have me back in my computer in another half a second after I enter the password.
3) Backilt keyboard (see below for con about it, though)
4) Hard Drive Space. WOW. It's so beautiful how much it is.
5) Coolness of computer when using. This computer does not heat up!!!! It's awesome that I don't need a laptop desk anymore just top keep from getting 3rd degree burns on my legs. I should mention, however, that I haven't pushed the comp incredibly hard with intense graphic stuff yet. But movies, Tv shows, surfing, leaving it on overnight by accident - none of that has made it get anything other than slightly warm. Yay!
6) Speakers: WOW. Fantastic sound. It gets really loud when you want it to, and the richness of the audio is intense and awesome. And I'm a huge audiophile, so this part is really important to me.
7) Webcam: Solid. Standard webcam, good video and audio quality, no lag (I have fast internet and latest Flash though)
8) Looks: Sleek finish to chassis. Lots of stickers on the front below keyboard, which might turn some people off, but I don't mind them.
9) Affordable 3-year protection plan. Dell would charge me out the eyes for this and I would only get a 1-year with them, and it was only $160 for this comp from Lenovo for 3 years. For ~$53 a year, I'll take the protection!
1) Still getting used to the keyboard. Some keys that I wish were bigger are smaller, and the chicklet thing is new for me so I make a lot of typing mistakes that I have to correct.
2) Touchpad is weird to me, also takes some getting used to with the one solid piece and integrated buttons on the bottom. I keep hitting right click when I mean to hit left. It's a little bit annoying.
3) No varying of backlight brightness. On my old Dell, there's was low, medium, and high for keyboard backlight settings. I would do low most of the time so as not to strain my eyes or bother others, etc. This laptop has only one setting, which is pretty bright. Not worth returning it for, but is a slight gripe of mine.
4) 5400 RPM Hard Drive. This makes only a slight difference to keen observers, but copying files over USB is noticeably, if only slighty, slower on the new comp. That's what you get for having this luscious 1 TB of space. I don't mind the slightly slower transfer rate if it means I can store all of my pics since 2004 and still have 750 GB of HDD space. And how often do I really need lightning fast transfer?
5) Minor annoyance: There are these hidden "special button combos" that load proprietary Lenovo stuff when I'm trying to do something else. I can only remember/think of one offhand: In Chrome, if I accidentally closed a tab, I Could press Ctrl+Shfit+T to bring back the last closed tab. Now when I do that, the screen goes dark and then it loads some multimedia Lenovo special screen or something. Gotta figure out how to disable that and get my last tab shortcut back! Any ideas?
Don't care: Screen is not HD, but my TV is, so I don't care. Again, not using this thing for gaming or blu-ray, so that decision is up to you.
Not reviewable yet: I have not plugged in a USB 3.0 device to this computer, so I can't speak to that. I have also not played any intense games on it. But I will say that Bloons Tower Defense 5 runs fine without any lag.
Again, overall: I LOVE THIS COMPUTER. I would buy it again despite the cons above. It is fast, awesome, and has great sound.
I hope that you enjoyed the review. Feel free to ask me any questions or suggest an aspect I forgot to review.
Buh-bye Dell! I will not miss you....
~ Akiva, proud Lenovo convert!
Thanks Akiva, great review. I'm keeping the Y480 in the "probably-buy" bin until the 640m LE gets upgraded to a true 640m, but until then, I really appreciate hearing what other owners think. I'm especially happy to hear the Y480 stays cool -- tell me your impressions about the palm rest...? I must have sensitive palms, and really hate warming them up while typing!
RE: the stickers, you peeled them off, no?
What's your feeling about the weight of the Y480? I'll be carrying it daily to work, and occasionaly on long trips/flights. My current machine is about 3.75 lbs, so I'm curiuos to know what that extra pound will feel like.
Thanks again!

Besides being completely adorable, this toy feels nice and is tough! It's also helped my older dog bond with the new puppy because they can both chew on an end of the bully stick! Best toy I've bought, Love love love!!!!
Great toy and very sturdy for Nelson who only knows how to play rough and tough.
I tagged you on Instagram in a post with Nelson and his new Mad Cat Cactus Kicker. :)
My little guy Cass is obsessed with this toy. He loves this little pizza toy and carries it around. Every night we play " pizza fetch" before bed. I finally caved and ordered 3 extras since he loves his pizza so much. Maybe we get a French fry toy to go with the pizza someday.
We have six rescue cats, and usually only one or two will like a toy. They all LOVE the catnip cuddled, though. We have several of these so they can each have their own. They will lie down with it, lick it, kick at it, roll around with it...it's adorable to watch. The catnip seems to last a long time, too. It's hard to find these, so anytime I see them in a store I buy several.
I bought this at my groomers a month ago and the dogs haven't stopped chewing on it since.
Super strong. Even withstands my super chewers.
Purchasing more of the large.
The small are best for dogs under 10lbs.
My cat Nickel plays with a toy every day, he carries it with him to every room. I had been searching and couldn't find it anywhere! It had been discontinued, I was so sad for Nickel because the he had had it for 3 years ever since he was a kitten and it was finally almost time to throw it away. I messaged r2p pet and got a response from Gaby!!! She was so great and got back to me the same day! The toy was discontinued but she found a couple in a backroom and is shipping them to me! What great customer service and it just shows that this company doesn't just sell pet toys but cares about the happiness of the pets!! I can't explain how happy Nickel will be when he gets his brand new toy!!! I will post pictures when it arrives!! Thank you thank you thank you to Gaby and R2p Pet!!!!!! You have just gained a new customer forever! I will tell all of my friends and family!!!!!!
My Rottweilers favorite toy, she has carried her new red sprong ball all day!! Hard to believe she doesn't tear them up
My daughter's cats loved their new toys! They couldn't wait to get them out of the box. I bought them because they kept getting into my cat's toy box and going straight for th e crawfish!
This is my cats favorite toy!!
I don't know of what it is about this thing, but I buy these in bulk because my cat loves them so much. We call it his Bubba Gump Shrimpy. He throws them around, chases them everywhere, licks them, and presents them to me like gifts. It's adorable and he has a great time with them. And I like knowing that he has something he will play with by himself while I'm at work.
You might say we kind of cheated? I don't know because we already had a Silly Bum (small size) so we knew our dog was going to love them and just as we thought she does. They are actually the best toys she has because she can't destroy them!! like she does the other toys we have bought for her. Thank you!!!
I have had this yarn ball since my baby kittens were 6 weeks old and they are now 8 months old. I've had the same ball and they play with it all the time!!
I buy for my kitty and my 2 grandkitties. I have loved everything I have purchased from here (or I should say the kitties have love it!!) Thank you. :)
Don't believe the Jumbo Dog tag! I'm a 20 lb Schipperke, and my First Mate Yellow Dog and I are inseparable.. We go everywhere together, though I have to help him get there...
My cat loves these toys. They're his favorites, especially if they have the ropes hanging off of them. The Black Friday deal was so great I decided to stock up!
My two dogs have sensitive stomachs and completely different eating styles. The DentaBowls have successfully slowed them down to a similarly slow rate their stomachs can manage. Then there is the added benefit that their gums are being stimulated and front teeth are being 'brushed' gently by the soft rubber cones lining the bowl. I am no longer cleaning up semi-digested food 45 minutes after my dogs eat. Everyone seems happier. Most especially me!
Our cat instantly loved his Magic Meowshroom! It has become a favorite toy that he enjoys day after day. This is a high quality, durable toy that continues to provide ongoing enjoyment to our furry friend.
The moment I opened the box & my dog saw her FAVORITE Sprongs she was running around til I gave her 1. When she saw the other of course she wanted it too.
She Carry's them everywhere she goes, inside & out!
Fun squeaky toys for her.
Will definitely buy again.
I have 1 who is very shy, my friend manage to lure him out from hiding with a sunny side up.. He loves this toy this much, and remain outside as he has his toy with him. My 2 other cats also stay closeby. And after each play the toys are soaky wet as the cats are persistant with the licking. Totally great, a big hit for my trio
My big Rottweiler LOVES these balls, have been ordering them for a few years. This is only the fourth one she has had. She is 8 now so this tells you they last a long long time. She actually prefers the smaller one, so that's the size she will get next time I order. She always brings her ball to place on top of her dog food container when she knows its about time to eat!!!
I purchased this over a year ago and with a silvervine filled plush duck. The duck is hands down my cats favorite toy. Ive had to sew it back together twice. The prawn is probably the third favorite for her, and most favorite for my second cat. They play with them every day. The prawn is also very durable !
This item is amazing. My dogs love to chew on these for hours. When the raw hide is gone they live to chew in the fish as it is.
The crinkle egg is one of our kittens favorite toys! Both our cats love tossing around the bacon! They're so sturdy too. Our cats rough house their toys and these toys have never failed us!
For some time I had been looking for a replacement for my dog's 2nd favorite toy, and finally this was it. Just a bit smaller in size, but otherwise the same. She was so happy as the original was so worn it had to be disposed of. Perfect!!
My cat has the cucumber, shrimp, egg, bacon, and shark Mad Cat toys. The only one she has played with is the cucumber. She bats it around like crazy. She's really finicky about her food, toys, and catnip; which is why I decided to try the silvervine toys. I rated them 5 stars because they are very well made and adorable and I think most cats would like them.
Our house already had a cactus and a baby carrot, but they were well loved and I was looking for replacements. I had no idea there would be so many amazing options and I ended up getting them all!! My cats adore these toys!
I haven't found a cat yet who doesn't go crazy for it!!! I have bought several and will continue to do so.
Our pups love these, but they play till there is nothing left. We had one that quit giggling and R2P sent us a free replacement. My only regret is that they no longer make the lamb, our favorite. I'd give it ten stars if I could and another ten to R2P for exemplary customer service!!
Sadly, the deflated puffin in the pic is all that's left of three gigglers after a few months, but he drags them out of the trash if we throw them away. <3
Picked these up at the pet store as the first toys for my newly adopted 16wk old kitten. He loves them!! He bats them around & kicks them with his hind feet. He has even half learned to fetch -- I have to initiate by tossing the toy and he will chase it, attack it and bring it back to me to throw again! We are working on voice commands to see if I can train him to full on fetch :-)
To say our cat loves this toy is an understatement--he goes nuts to put it quite frankly. We bought him a second one because he shredded the first so fast, but wanted to wait a day or so to give him the new one. So we cleverly hid the second one in a box with a velcro lid on a shelf. Around 3 in the morning we heard a crash. He proudly brought the prawn, still attached to the shelving cardboard hanger, into the bedroom to show us his prize. So here we are buying more. It's great because he plays and it's hard to find toys that keep adult cats interested.
I have 4 black adopted cats ages 4 - 3 - & the last 2 are 12 week old kittens. There are so many cat toys in my home that I could open a store lol. BUT ... when I came home from Publix with this toy my cats EXPLODED ! They shredded the plastic bag to try to get at it. I then chased them to try to get the cardboard off. Lol I NEVER had such a reaction like this b4. Needless to say I need 3 more as this one gets fought over & gnawed on till wet every day. AMAZING product. Thank you for providing fun & laughter for my whole family .
My cat was given the cool cucumber as a gift and loves it. She licks it, kicks it with her back feet, and bats it around. So, I bought her the brunch buddies, shark, and shrimp, but she was not at all interested in any of them. I'm not sure, but it may be because I had them shipped ground; they smell a little like the inside of a truck and not like her cucumber toy. They are all very cute and well made, and I've been hoping that as they "air out" she'll play with them. She is a very fussy cat and it's a challenge to find things that interest her.
Honey Bump was very excited to receive the Catnip Cuddler Kitty Condor. It was actually a replacement because I accidentally washed his original one in the washing machine (it was his favorite toy; he had it for many, many years). After I washed it, he wanted nothing to do with it. When he saw this replacement, it was like he was a kitten again (he's 13). It took him a second to realize what it was, then he grabbed it, darted off and stared playing it.
So, thanks for selling this product, you helped me make up for the mistake of washing his favorite toy!
Stopping by to buy more so I thought I'd leave a review. We have a Belgian Malinois and he loves his Silly Bum toys. He plays with him (Dino, dinosaur) all over the house, he even sleeps with it and uses it as a pillow. These are very well made toys, especially for the price and they are hilarious to look at.
Your friends will ask you, "Is that the butt of a cheetah?" It's comical. "Dog will love the touch of realism when chomping down on the realistic fur textures. And we've added a little extra-special "junk in the trunk" with crinkle inside to give each bum a little more crunch!" It's so true, just like they advertise, the toys have a great texture to them and they are fun for dogs. I highly recommend them.
9.5 times out of ten, my cat will pick this toy out of all his other toys. This is absolutely his favorite toy ever and this thing has stood up to some damage! He kicks this, throws it, plays fetch with it. Just goes nuts with it!

We're asked to build the engine for a True Sox & Martin Hemi 'cuda.
To properly depict the historical significance of a nostalgic race car, we must first take ourselves back to the time when these cars were originally campaigned at racing events. Though automobiles have likely been raced since the second one was produced (the first car could only race carriages), public interest in racing, and specifically drag racing, arguably saw its best years during the late '60s through early '70s. It was during this time that many dragstrips opened across the country, and domestic auto manufacturers recognized the American public's greed for power and enjoyment of the sport of racing. All of the Big Three were involved, engineering and manufacturing cars with the specific purpose of winning the Stock classes of both drag racing and oval track venues. The phrase, Win on Sunday, sell on Monday was coined during this period, and it was a time of growth and transition for the sport of auto racing. It's not often that we get an opportunity to work on a piece of Mopar history, but this month we're building a Super Stock Race Hemi for a Sox & Martin '68 Barracuda that is now owned by Todd Werner of central Florida.
The history of each brand of American automobile is varied and unique, but no car manufacturer was more closely tied to racing during the '60s and '70s than the Chrysler Corporation. Relying heavily on the practice of hiring creative and enthusiastic engineers, Chrysler's Dodge and Plymouth divisions carefully interpreted the rules of the major sanctioning bodies, designing cars and engines specifically to dominate the top classes of drag and stock car racing, which were both growing exponentially during this time. It can be argued, in fact, that Chrysler did too good a job of designing and building these cars, and supporting their teams, as evidenced by Dodges and Plymouths being handicapped by sanctioning bodies, especially when powered by the 426 Hemi engine.
Of the many historical Mopars developed by Chrysler during this period, there was one specific program which would change the history of drag racing and define class dominance. In late 1967 a program was launched by Chrysler, called Special Vehicle Development. The task: to design an A-Body drag racing package around the Dodge Dart and Plymouth Barracuda fastback. Chrysler engineer Tom Hoover directed the program, assigning Robert Tarozzi to build a working prototype using a '67 Barracuda with '68 trim and the 426 Hemi, to run in the Super Stock/B (SS/B) drag racing class.
After development and testing proved the A-Body package cars were capable of mid ten second elapsed times, Chrysler contracted the Hurst Corporation to specially build a limited number (150 is commonly accepted) of Dodge Darts and Plymouth Barracudas. Assembled with fiberglass front body components, thinner than stock glass, special suspension, and a cast-iron headed Race Hemi, these cars were available to the public, but specifically directed at race teams who would refine them to dominate the class of Super Stock (SS)/B, SS/A, and now SS/AH. One of the teams to successfully campaign several of these purpose-built Plymouth Barracudas during the early years of Super Stock was the team of Ronnie Sox and Buddy Martin.
As the driver of the Sox & Martin Plymouths, Ronnie Sox was known for his prowess with a four-speed manual transmission, driving factory-backed Plymouths in multiple classes of Stock and Super Stock Eliminator including '68 Barracudas campaigned in Super Stock/B. As Super Stock racing evolved and the cars got faster, sanctioning bodies created a new class of drag racing for the 1970 season, Pro Stock, which has remained one of the most popular drag racing classes today.
After winning the 1969 NHRA and AHRA World Championships in Super Stock, Ronnie Sox won the inaugural 1970 season of Pro Stock in a Jake King and Dave Christie-prepped four-speed Hemi 'Cuda, then backed it up in 1971 with another World Championship, earning the best driving record of the 1970 to 1972 four-speed era by winning 9 of 23 events. But as the Hemi engine showed dominance in Pro Stock, the sanctioning bodies began adding weight to Hemi-equipped vehicles, leading Chrysler to direct its factory sponsored teams to boycott the class for the 1974 season in protest of the handicap.
Not wanting to lose his edge as a racer, Ronnie asked his contacts at Chrysler how he could continue racing, and was instructed the team could maintain factory backing while running Super Stock in one of the Hurst-built '68 Hemi Barracudas. Buddy Martin quickly acquired a car, and it was modified by Dave Christie who added a new rear suspension to support the Dana 60 and a thicker rear glass to replace the thin Corning glass per Chrysler's instructions. Jake King then built the Hemi for the '68 Barracuda to class specifications, and Ronnie Sox drove the car during the 1974 season, earning a win at the Gator Nationals.
Acquired several years ago by the Pro Toyz collection, this Barracuda is an exceptionally clean and well-restored race car, with a period correct 426 Hemi engine and many unique Sox & Martin-specific pieces in the rear suspension, under the fiberglass lift-off hood, and throughout this well-built piece of racing history. Unfortunately, the engine was not the original Super Stock Race Hemi, and since it exhibited signs of wear including low oil pressure, oil and coolant leaks, and smoke, Pro Toyz curator Chuck West decided it was time for a rebuild and gave us a call to discuss the project.
Any time you or your local machine shop rebuilds an engine, or builds one from scratch, it is very important to define the purpose of the vehicle. As a highly collectible race car, and one of the original '68 Hurst-built Barracudas, we knew this car was too valuable to risk making a pass down the strip with a race engine, no matter how tempting it would be. This Plymouth is primarily a display piece, though it does get driven on occasion (that's right, on the street) and you've likely seen it at the Mopar Nationals or other events as Todd enjoys sharing his collection with the public. So while a full-blown Super Stock race engine didn't make sense for this vehicle, we wanted to do the car justice with a well thought out combination that would look period correct, with enough power to make Ronnie and his team proud.
Although this Hemi did run prior to being removed, the more we inspected the parts, the worse things kept getting. The already .040-inch under crankshaft had spun bearings, rendering it useless, and we found that the block was cracked and repaired, but the poor repair and .060-inch overbore rendered the block useful only as a display piece. Additionally, both cylinder heads were cracked between the valves and the spark plug hole, as well as in the water jackets, making it necessary to replace them. After our complete inspection, the only pieces we had that were serviceable were the connecting rods, valve covers, oil pan, and the proper cross-ram intake manifold.
Though cracked and broken parts are not uncommon, the number of broken pieces in this engine had us scrambling for replacement parts. Knowing we needed original parts to maintain a period correct look, a rebuildable factory block with a casting date of June 10, 1968, was located. Chuck also located several pairs of cylinder heads, which we tested until we found two good heads to build. With the major pieces in place, we moved on to the rotating assembly.
Because this engine will never see a full-throttle pass down the dragstrip or be inspected by NHRA tech crews, the specifications won't have to adhere to rules outlined for Super Stock competition. With this in mind, we knew that the owner of this car wanted a stout, high-compression Hemi and only ran race fuel in the car, so we ordered a set of Keith Black forged 12.5:1 pistons. Milling the heads combined with a Scat 4.15-inch stroke crankshaft will provide additional squeeze, netting a true compression ratio of more than 13.0:1. With a roller cam, lifters, and matching valvesprings from Comp Cams, stainless steel Manley valves, Indy rockers, a Milodon oil system, and rings and bearings from Summit Racing Equipment, we look forward to assembling and installing this engine in a future issue of Mopar Muscle. For now, however, we'll be taking extra care as we remove and inspect the engine of this historic Mopar race car.
