SpaceX launches Starship "hopper" on dramatic test flight
August 27, 2019 William Harwood
STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS & USED WITH PERMISSION
SpaceX launched its sub-scale Starship "hopper" spacecraft on a brief unpiloted up-and-down test flight at the company's Boca Chica, Texas, test facility Tuesday, a dramatic demonstration of rocket technology intended to pave the way to a new, more powerful heavy lift booster and, eventually, crew-carrying interplanetary spacecraft.
Running a day late because of a last-second technical glitch, the squat Starhopper's powerful methane-fueled Raptor engine thundered to life at 6:02 p.m. EDT, pushing the stubby test vehicle straight up into a clear blue sky atop a jet of flame and a churning cloud of exhaust.
The spacecraft, shaped a bit like R2-D2 from the "Star Wars" movies, appeared to reach its FAA-approved 492-foot (150 meter) altitude limit, moved sideways and slowly descended to touchdown on a nearby landing pad. The approximately one-minute flight was the rocket's second "untethered" test following a July jump to an altitude of about 65 feet.
The hardware SpaceX is testing is intended for a fully reusable two-stage vehicle featuring a powerful first stage, dubbed the Super Heavy Rocket, and the winged Starship.
The hopper is a sub-scale version of the Starship's propulsion system, the first to utilize a SpaceX-designed Raptor engine burning cryogenic methane with liquid oxygen.
SpaceX says the new booster-Starship system eventually will replace the company's Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets as well as the Cargo and Crew Dragon capsules used to deliver supplies and, eventually, astronauts to the International Space Station.
"SpaceX's Starship and Super Heavy Rocket are designed to deliver satellites to Earth orbit and beyond, at a lower marginal cost per launch than our current Falcon vehicles," the company says on its web site.
With a 30-foot-wide payload compartment, the Starship will be able to launch larger payloads to Earth orbit than current rocket systems and deliver crews and supplies to the space station, the company says, adding that in the long term, Starship also will be able to deliver crews and cargo to the moon and, eventually, Mars.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk has said the company's "aspirational goal" is to launch an initial cargo mission to Mars in 2022, followed by a crewed flight as early as 2024. Musk is expected to deliver an update on the rocket's development soon and those targets could change.

CMS To Urge 275K Consumers To Resume Exchange Applications
CMS is rolling out an email campaign to encourage about 275,000 consumers to resume the their health plan enrollment process through the Affordable Care Act's federal health insurance exchange website, according to agency spokesperson Julie Bataille, The Hill's "Healthwatch" reports (Shabad, "Healthwatch," The Hill, 11/12).
Bataille -- who made the announcement during the daily media update on the ongoing efforts to resolve HealthCare.gov's technical glitches -- said the consumers being targeted had abandoned their health plan applications after facing difficulties with the website (Conn, Modern Healthcare, 11/12). She said most of the visitors had gotten "stuck" at the account-creation step when the website was launched ("Healthwatch," The Hill, 11/12).
Bataille added that technicians have addressed "dozens of issues" with the website and that CMS will send out the first of multiple "waves" of emails this week (Modern Healthcare, 11/12).
According to "Healthwatch," the email campaign follows a weekend of technical fixes to HealthCare.gov, including an installation of two large-scale storage units to improve the site's hardware and software.
CMS said this week that new features were added to the site, including:
An option allowing consumers to upload, save and remove documents;
A set of alerts to guide visitors through the application process; and
Out-of-state registry information.
Bataille noted that the Obama administration's "plan remains the same. ... By the end of November, the site will work much better for the vast majority of users" ("Healthwatch," The Hill, 11/12).
Enroll America Revamps Outreach Plan to Begin in December
In related news, Enroll America -- a not-for-profit group that launched a national campaign to help the administration raise awareness and boost enrollment in the exchanges -- plans to reformulate its campaign in December to complement the rollout of the improved federal health exchange website, Reuters reports.
Enroll America President Anne Filipic said the organization has "heard the expectations that things will really be running smoothly by the end of November, so for our planning purposes, we do want to do that big push in early December." The group's officials have already reached out to more than 300,000 individuals and identified 30,000 uninsured or underinsured people who expressed interest in enrolling for coverage through the exchanges (Krauskopf, Reuters, 11/12).
The December campaign -- called "Coverage Is Coming" -- aims to enroll consumers by Dec. 15 to ensure that their coverage will take effect on Jan. 1.
Enroll America -- which focused its original campaign in 10 states with high uninsured rates -- will expand its campaign to an 11th state, Tennessee, officials said. They said the group has raised $27 million this year from health care groups and stakeholders to fund the outreach efforts (Corbett Dooren, "Washington Wire," Wall Street Journal, 11/12).


"Make me Tailor" is a collection that expresses my transition, my change into a matured and more complete designer and human being.
My work has always been an expression of my feelings and sentiment in relation to the world as a whole or to one or more individuals. That is something that will always remain while my aesthetic develops into something else.
The word "tailor" (in this collection) surpasses the idea of a professional that makes clothes to fit individual customers with unique and antique skill sets. Instead, it brings the idea of adaptability: tailor myself and others to an entire new life, country, experience and a whole new me.
These pieces are adaptable, versatile, detachable. You can tie it up, release, reverse, combine, layer, add or remove.
The exclusive print imbued into embroidery was created mixing elements of the Tailoring with the natural course of nature that births and dies, represented by delicate roses and the sense of beauty and freedom that comes from death.
Special accessories developed in wood show the resistance and durability of the human essence that remains while everything around transforms.
Wool, Cotton, Silk Organza and horsehair canvas are the materials chosen to bring this collection to life.
The colour palette was extracted from the old tailoring books that travelled through the times and aged with it.


The battlefield will be something strange — cyberspace, or the Cleveland water supply, or Wall Street's banking systems, or YouTube. The mission will be instilling fear, and it will succeed.

CRS, What are the Benefits of an Office of Science and Technology Policy?
From a presidential perspective, if the S&T adviser or presidential advisory committee is not committed to the President's agenda and is not willing to represent the Administration's perspective, the President may believe that high-level S&T advice will provide more harm than good. If the S&T adviser has a close relationship with the President, the S&T community may fear this will lead to the politicization of S&T and subvert the S&T adviser's ability to provide independent advice. A historical review of presidential S&T activities since the F.D. Roosevelt Administration illustrates that a presidential S&T adviser or advisory committee may be placed in a challenging position when a difference in opinion exists between the President and the majority of the S&T community. The result may be dismissal or marginalization of S&T consideration from the White House inner circle.
This jumped off the page to me, because by definition the OSTP should be committed to the promotion of good science, rather than the political ends of the President. CRS continues by presenting the alternative, which is that, "an S&T adviser who understands these sensitivities may be an asset to the Administration, providing confidential advice privately and speaking authoritatively on S&T-related issues for the Administration publically." While these sensitives would certainly be an asset to the adviser, I shudder to think of the trade-off between political maneuvering and the promotion of a legitimate national security research agenda.

The City of Fredericksburg, Texas, welcomes you to Fort Martin Scott. The Fort is owned and operated by the City of Fredericksburg.
Located out 290 E (Main Street) across from Gillespie County Law Enforcement Center, Fort Martin Scott was the first U.S. Army outpost built on the Texas Frontier. The historic site contains one original garrison building, which has been restored, one late 1800s old farm shed and three reproduction garrison buildings.
The old military fort was in operation from 1848 to 1853 by the U.S. Army. Texas Rangers used the site as a camp, both before and after military occupation. During the Civil War, the Confederate States Army occupied the fort for a brief period. Later abandoned and then purchased and used by the Braeutigam family as a farm, the property was purchased by the City of Fredericksburg in 1949.
Fort Martin Scott is currently operated as a self guided tour of the historic site. With its history and potential, it is truly one of Fredericksburg's "diamonds in the rough".
Self guided tour with interpretive signage around the Fort's quadrangle during daylight hours. Buildings are only open during Visitor Center hours listed below.
The Fort Martin Scott Advisory Board meets quarterly each year at City Hall at 5:00 pm. These meetings have been suspended while the City works on a Fort Martin Scott Master Plan. Please call 830-997-7521 for more information.
BE AWARE. THERE IS ANOTHER GROUP REQUESTING MONEY ON BEHALF OF FORT MARTIN SCOTT. THERE IS NO "ASSOCIATION" AUTHORIZED TO COLLECT MONEY ON BEHALF OF THE FORT. THE ONLY LEGITIMATE ORGANIZATION HANDLING THE AFFAIRS OF FORT MARTIN SCOTT IS THE CITY OF FREDERICKSBURG.

Q: How do you add to a Ruby array based on users input? I am asking the user to input a number and based on that number I want to add certain players to my game.
class Player
  def players_playing
    players = []
    puts('How many players are playing?')
    players_amount = gets.chomp
    for i in range(players_amount)
      puts ('What is the players name')
      name = gets.chomp
      players.push(name)
    end
  end
end

So if they enter 3. Then the code should loop through 3 times and ask the user for names. e.g.
What is the players name? Rich
What is the players name? Tom
What is the players name? Charles

Then it would have players = ['Rich', 'Tom', 'Charles']
any ideas why my code is not correct? ( i figure it is to do with the range part maybe)

A: There are some mistakes in your code:
At first you are asking for a number, however players_amount is a string. You should convert it using the to_i method.
Then, for iterating over a range, there are several ways of doing it in Ruby, but there is no keyword range as in Python. For iterating over a range (that is, an interval), use:
# Exclusive:

(0...3).each do |i|
    puts i
end
# 0
# 1
# 2

# Inclusive:

(0..3).each do |i|
    puts i
end
# 0
# 1
# 2
# 3

So, instead of your for loop, just write (0...players_amount).each do.
With those modifications, the program has the expected behaviour. However, if you want the name to appear on the same line of the question, use print instead of puts because puts adds automatically a line break at the end of the string.

A: I would add a complement to T. Claverie's answer. In this case I guess you only need to iterate a certain number of times and do nothing with the iteration index. That way, I would replace the for loop in your code with the following:
players_amount.times do
  puts ('What is the players name')
  name = gets.chomp
  players.push(name)
end

Hope it helps.

Mike Pettine on the behavior of Johnny Manziel, Josh Gordon and Justin Gilbert Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine talks about the off the field behavior of Johnny Manziel, Josh Gordon and Justin Gilbert that led to them not being on the field for the season finale.
BEREA, Ohio The Browns aren't ready to cut All-Pro receiver Josh Gordon just yet, but the leash is extremely short.
It's more like a bracelet now. A child's bracelet.
Gordon, who came off his 10-game marijuana ban with six games remaining, was suspended for Sunday's 20-10 loss in Baltimore for missing the walk-through on Saturday. The suspension was the next step for Gordon, who had been disciplined several times for being late to team functions.
Rookie quarterback Connor Shaw, who took a shot to the kidney and peeing blood Sunday night but refused to come out of the game, could've used a Pro Bowl wideout to catch some of his passes.
"Clearly a disappointing way for him to end the year,'' said Pettine. "But at the same time, Josh right now is a Cleveland Brown. We want to take care of our own, but at the same time we're going to hold our guys accountable. I think everybody recognizes the talent that's there, but this isn't an individual sport.
Gordon tweeted Monday that he wants to be here.
But eight-time Pro Bowler Joe Thomas suggested that Gordon's return Nov. 23rd may have hampered the offense.
Quarterback Brian Hoyer disagreed that Gordon's return was a detriment.
"Maybe that just happened to be a coincidence that once Josh came back we kind of took a wrong turn,'' he said. "I'm not going to say that Josh was responsible for us losing five straight games, that would be ridiculous. He came back in that Atlanta game and had some big plays for us.
Gordon, who led the NFL with 1,646 yards last season, reportedly attended Johnny Manziel's party Friday night, but Manziel said Monday he didn't have a party and that he wasn't with Gordon late Friday night, only at some point earlier. Manziel said he had three friends in from his hometown of Kerrville, Tex., if that constitutes a party. But Manziel admitted that he stayed out too late with his buddies and overslept for his treatment Saturday morning.
Still, Pettine hasn't reached his limit with the former Heisman Trophy winner and the Pro Bowl receiver.
Thomas stressed that youth is no excuse for Gordon, Manziel or No. 8 overall pick Justin Gilbert, who was also 'suspended' for Sunday's game, but not designated as such because it was after the 4 p.m. deadline to make it official.
Pettine noted that the risks sometimes outweigh the rewards.


Holidays on the River is back at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater. This festive holiday event runs on various days through Jan. 21. Skate passes are $15 a person, and season tickets are $85. That'll give you access to open-skating fun with your family.
New to ice skating? No worries. Follow some tips, and you'll look like a pro on the ice.
When you get to the ice rink, you'll notice that lots of people are standing upright on the ice. That's a beginner mistake, and those people are likely to fall. Bend your knees slightly, and shift your weight to the balls of your feet. At the same time, pull your abdominal muscles in, and put your arms out to the side just a bit. This will help you maintain your balance when you whiz by all those other ice skaters.
Once you're in position, it'll be time to get started. You'll need to point your toes outward and take small steps first. Then, you'll start to glide. With each glide, bring your feet back into the center and push out again. You'll be skating in no time.
You can speed up by increasing the power of each push. Push harder and harder to go faster. That's a great way to burn some extra calories while skating.
You'll have to do a little turning when you skate at Holidays on the River, but it's a cinch. Your shoulders will handle the turns for you. Move your outside shoulder in the direction you want to turn, and you'll complete the turn just like that. It really is that easy.
These tips will help you skate, but you still might fall. It's not as bad as it sounds, though. Wear warm clothing so you won't get cold during the fall. Clench your fists to push off the ice, and get up on both knees. Then, get up on a single knee to get back on the ice.
And most importantly, don't be embarrassed. You won't be the only person to fall. Laugh it off, and get back to skating.
Excited about Holidays on the River? It's going to be a blast, but it's not the only way to have fun in Tuscaloosa. You will also have the time of your life with the help of Bama Buggies in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Pick up an ATV, side-x-side, motorcycle, or another recreational vehicle, and let the good times roll.


GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- The 2018 college baseball season gets underway this Thursday as the Tusculum Pioneers travel to Florida to take on the Embry-Riddle Eagles in the season-opener for both teams. It will be the first of four games in the Sunshine State for Tusculum as the Pioneers will play at Nova Southeastern (Fri.), Palm Beach Atlantic (Sat.) and Lynn University (Sun.) later this weekend.
Head coach Doug Jones is beginning his 21st season at the helm of the Tusculum program where he has led the Pioneers to a school-record 680 wins which has included five South Atlantic Conference championships, four SAC Tournament titles and seven trips to the NCAA Division II Tournament.
Tusculum returns 16 lettermen from last year's 30-20 club that finished fifth in the SAC standings and qualified for the league postseason for a 19th consecutive time. The 2017 squad recorded the program's 17th straight winning season and 15th in a row with 30 or more victories.
Tusculum will have to replace their starters at first base and third base from a year ago. Four-year starter and 2017 All-Region third baseman John Topoleski (now TC assistant coach) has graduated, while All-SAC first baseman Nick Lacina is also gone for the Black and Orange.
Two starters return in the Tusculum infield including All-Conference second baseman Daulton Martin and junior shortstop Edison Cabrera.
Martin, who has garnered Preseason All-Region and All-SAC recognition this year, finished third on the team with his .372 batting average, which was also the 11th-best in the league. Martin was second on the team with 64 hits, which included 12 doubles, four home runs and a team-high three triples (T11th in SAC). The Lancaster, Pennsylvania native totaled 39 RBI with 36 runs scored and ended the season with an 11-game hitting streak, where he batted .525 going 21-of-40 at the plate to finish his outstanding rookie campaign.
Cabrera was a solid contributor in his 44 starts at shortstop for the Pioneers. The Broward College transfer batted .280 with 37 runs scored and 21 RBI. The Miami, Florida junior totaled 49 hits with 11 doubles and a triple to go along with his 21 RBI. His 25 walks were second on the team and led TC with his seven stolen bases in eight attempts.
Senior Johnny Reina returns to the infield following 2017 where he played in 16 games with a pair of starts. He is a season removed since transferring from Rowan College at Gloucester County where he was an All-Region standout and posted a .353 batting average at the Sewell, New Jersey school.
Sophomore Bradley Evans saw a lot of time in the lineup for the Pioneers where he appeared in 29 games and 20 starts as TC's designated hitter. The Polkville, North Carolina native batted .365 with 31 hits including nine doubles, three home runs, 25 RBI, 17 runs, seven walks and a pair of sacrifice flies.
John Bennett also enjoyed a solid redshirt freshman campaign for the Pioneers in 2017. The Forest City, North Carolina sophomore posted a .368 batting average with a double, two home runs and nine RBI. He also boasted an impressive .737 slugging percentage and a .409 on-base percentage. He split time at DH and first base where he did not commit an error in his 34 total chances with three assists and helped turn three double plays.
Senior infielder Colby Skeen played in 32 games with 27 starts in his first season with the Pioneers since transferring from Dyersburg State. In 2017, Skeen hit .296 with 32 hits, six doubles, one triple and five home runs. The Powell, Tennessee native accumulated 37 RBI, 27 runs and 18 walks. His best game of the year came in a win at Mars Hill where he went 3-for-6 with six RBI and came a triple shy of hitting for the cycle.
Also returning to the infield from a year ago are redshirt freshmen Trey Hinton (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Garrett Goldberg (Clover, S.C.).
Joining the Tusculum infield this season is Knoxville, Tennessee true freshman Bryson Ford. The Bearden High School product batted .430 and was the 2016 District Offensive Player of the Year. He earned All-State honors and was a three-time All-District representative at Bearden.
Also playing in their first seasons at TC are infielders Tyler Hall (Coral Springs, Fla.), Brett Saunders (Clemmons, N.C.), Branden Glick (Hickory, N.C.), Will Leonard (Jonesborough, Tenn.), Dawson Martin (Greeneville, Tenn.) and Austin Wise (Louisville, Ky.).
Two of the starting outfielders will need to be replaced. All-SAC centerfielder Jeremy Glore led the Pioneers with his .380 batting average along with his 53 runs and 71 hits. Leftfielder Dante Key has graduated after two solid years with the Pioneers, including 2017 where he batted .302 in his 46 starts in Greeneville.
Greeneville junior Zack Finchum is back for Tusculum. The 2016 All-Conference standout at second base as a freshman, made the move to right field last year where he made only one error in his 75 fielding opportunities (.987 fielding pct.). In 2017, Finchum tallied 30 hits with one double, one triple and nine RBI. He batted .242 on the year, but finished the season strong posting a seven-game hitting streak in April where he batted .391 down the stretch.
Speedy centerfielder Seth DeHaven returns for his junior campaign as he posted a solid .357 batting average in 2017 in his 32 outings, including five starts. The Fort Myers, Florida native accounted for a double and a home run, and scored 13 runs.
Junior Sam Urban (Purcellville, Va.) appeared in 24 games in his TC debut season, including two starts. He batted .235 with four hits, four RBI and a .381 on-base percentage. The Liberty University transfer did not commit an error in his 17 outfield chances.
Redshirt freshmen are back for the Pioneers including Logan McMahan (Knoxville, Tenn.), Jakereon Williams (Acworth, Ga.), Jake Wapinsky (Blandon, Pa.) and Daniel Owen (Rogersville, Tenn.).
One of the bright newcomers on the Tusculum team this spring is Tyler College transfer Jarel McDade. The Magnolia, Texas product will be familiar to the Greeneville locals after leading his Tyler club to the 2017 NJCAA Division III National Championship, which was played at Pioneer Park last summer. He batted .438 in the series going 7-for-16 including a grand slam to earn a spot on the World Series All-Tournament team. In his 42 games last year, McDade batted .304 with 35 hits, seven doubles, two triples, three home runs, 30 RBI and 21 walks.
The lone true freshman in the outfield is Cleveland, Tennessee product Noah Sills.
The duo of Cole Baxley and Zach Lippincott are gone as the pair split the catching duties for the Pioneers last year.
Seven catchers are listed on the 2018 roster including one junior, five redshirt freshmen and one true rookie.
Back from last season's roster are redshirt freshmen Aaron Pratt (Morristown, Tenn.), Garrett Dupuis (Kennesaw, Ga.), Deric Graham (Bristol, Tenn.), Tyson Beach (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Jordan Beaver (Dallas, N.C.).
The two newcomers this spring are junior Nate Montgomery and true freshman Chase Wullenweber.
Montgomery (Geneva, Ill.) comes to TC after two years at South Suburban College in Illinois. Last year he posted a .342 batting average with 76 hits, 14 doubles, two triples and nine home runs. He accounted for 61 RBI which were 51st in the country. In 2016, he posted a .351 average with 74 hits and finished 27th in the nation with 22 doubles to go along with his 56 RBI and four home runs.
Wullenweber, a native of West Chester, Ohio, was an All-Region standout at Lakota West High School where he earned Defensive Player of the Year honors and led his team to a conference, region and district title while advancing to the State semifinal. He batted .308 during his career and did not commit an error behind the plate in his final prep campaign.
Of the 16 lettermen back from last year, only six saw action on the mound for the Pioneers so there will be a lot of new faces in pitching corps.
The entire weekend rotation has either graduated or were drafted last summer. All-Region southpaw Tim Hardy was selected in the 18th round by the World Champion Houston Astros and played his first pro season with the Greeneville rookie club. All-SAC standout Ethan Carpenter is also gone along with veteran arms Zach Slagle (now TC assistant coach) and Christian Raasch.
Returning sophomore Chase McAllister logged the most innings of the six veterans back as he went 2-1 with three saves and a 5.01 earned run average. The Powell, Tennessee native pitched in 23 1/3 innings in his 16 appearances with one start with 34 strikeouts and only six walks.
Sophomore Eamonn Collins (Warsaw, Va.) pitched in 12 games with one start and 16 2/3 innings on the bump. He did not record a decision and posted a 9.18 ERA with 29 strikeouts.
Sophomore lefty Andrew Willis (Knoxville, Tenn.) made 11 relief appearances out of the TC bullpen where he posted a 1-0 record with a 3.52 ERA including 13 strikeouts and held the opposition to a .236 batting average. Also seeing action last season are senior Spencer Brothers (Seneca, S.C.) and sophomores Christian Cuba (Miami, Fla.) and Mitch McCain (Lawrenceville, Ga.).
Back from a year ago and looking to see their first varsity action are redshirt freshmen Kent Noe (Knoxville, Tenn.), Trevor Lloyd (Knoxville, Tenn.), Brandon Holden (Dallas, N.C.), James Irwin (Maryville, Tenn.) and Eli Boles (King, N.C.).
Of the newcomers on the mound, 10 will be transfers including nine juniors and one sophomore.
Sean McDaniel went 5-0 last season at Wake Tech where he made 17 appearances on the mound with one start in his 33 1/3 innings. The Raleigh, North Carolina native posted a 3.51 ERA with 33 strikeouts.
Leurys Diaz is coming off a 5-1 season with a 3.23 ERA in his final season at ASA Brooklyn. The Dominican Republic native pitched 55 2/3 innings with a shutout and 46 strikeouts in his 11 appearances in 2017. In 2016, he went 2-1 with 21 strikeouts in his nine outings as ASA.
Colin Johnston (Rochester, N.Y.) posted a 9-3 record with a 4.83 ERA in 2016 as he led his Monroe Community College club to the NJCAA Division II World Series. He made 19 appearances with 11 starts, pitching 69 innings with 58 strikeouts and finished the year with the 19th-best win tally in the nation, including three complete games.
Pedro Rodriguez (Kissimmee, Fla.) comes to Tusculum after playing the last two seasons at Seminole Community College in Florida where he made 11 appearances last year with two starts, a 6.57 ERA and 21 strikeouts in his 24 2/3 innings of work.
Baytown, Texas native Justin Massey went 1-0 with a save in his six outings with San Jacinto College in 2017.

Car Feature: A 3rd-Gen Trans Am That Pays Homage to the Tuner Cars of the '70s and '80s
| 27 January, 2020 at 15:50
This Third-Gen Trans Am Incorporates the Perfect Blend of Multi-Decade Performance Machinery
If you're like us, you'll find it hard to believe that it's been nearly 30 years since the final third-generation F-body had rolled off of the assembly line in 1992. At the time, it was finally putting to rest a body style that had been in production since late-1981, and with it, the last time that a GEN-I V8 would reside between the flanks of a Camaro or Firebird.
The third-generation would leave behind some iconic trim levels, such as the IROC-Z and GTA, as well as the less-appreciated Berlinetta and Firebird SE. With a new body style, would come new powerplants that would quickly overshadow what was once was the norm, and it wouldn't be long until third-gen cars were dismissed altogether, apart from a few loyalists.
Fast forward a few decades, and we're seeing a reemergence of the car that starred in cult classic TV shows like Simon and Simon, and of course, Knight Rider. Call it nostalgia, call it what you will, but these cars are making a comeback in a big way, and if this strikes you as news, then you haven't been paying attention over the last few years.
Once relegated to the back section of Auto Trader classifieds and trailer parks, enthusiasts with plenty of disposable cash and a proper vision to create what should have been, are coming to the forefront of this resurgence of 3rd-gen popularity. They're taking these used donor vehicles, keeping the few things that still "work" today, but then discard the rest of the components that have been the car's Achilles heel since they were new.
In a word, the drivetrain. Out goes the the underpowered small-block, weak transmission and rear axle, and in goes modern LS and LT powertrains, a stronger manual 6-speed or electronic automatic gearbox, and usually, a rearend that can sustain the abuse of modern power levels. We've covered cars like these time and time again right here on these pages, but each one was approached a little bit differently than the last. With Fred Putman's '88 Trans Am, that's certainly true.
As Fred tells us, he's always wanted to take on this project, and with the availability of the donor engine and transmission at the ready, thanks to his friend Jim Haller, it couldn't have been more meant to be. Jim also happens to be friends with Matt Adams. Who, as it should be noted, is the son of retired GM engineer, road racing legend and founder of VSE, Herb Adams.
In case you're not aware, Herb built tuner Trans Ams in the late-70s through the mid-80s, and each car would have beefed-up suspension, increased horsepower output, and specific decals — including a one-off "bird" adorning the hood, fenders and C-pillar, where the usual Firebird logos would go. Known as the Fire-Am, it would pave the way for efforts from Mecham, SLP and others throughout the '80s and into the '90s.
Wanting to create his own Fire-Am, who better to work with than a descendant of the racing legend? Jim also helped Matt build some of the machines that Adams' are cranking out today, including Jim's own '78 Trans Am that sister publication, Timeless Muscle ran a feature on a few years back.
Looking to get the haggling and dealing out of the way, Fred offered Jim up an old 1929 Ford pickup that Jim always wanted, as a trade for the labor and the GEN-V LT1 engine out of a 6th-gen Camaro SS, as well as a 4L60E transmission from a 4th-gen F-body. Matt also stepped in and supplied VSE 3rd-gen Trans Am suspension and graphics, to give it better handling in the corners and additional attitude.
Turning our attention to the Trans Am, the 305 that lived under the hood was pulled for the GEN-V, and apart from E3 spark plugs and MSD wires, it has been left completely unmolested. On the other hand, the breathing capabilities have been improved substantially, thanks in part to a 5th-gen Camaro cold-air intake from Speed Daddy.
The factory intake manifold is sufficient enough for a stock engine, but the exhaust is another story. The Firebird's OEM pipes weren't simply up to the task, and nor would they direct to the LT1's exhaust manifolds. Furthermore, a 6th-gen Camaro exhaust system doesn't exactly bolt up to the 3rd-gen underpinnings, obviously. So a set of Speed Engineering long-tube headers, Magnaflow mufflers and 3-inch diameter exhaust tubing went into the mix.
Balancing out the air/fuel ratio is easy, thanks to a Walbro pump and an adjustable Racetronix fuel pressure regulator, that were sourced from Hawks Motorsports, they were able to make them work with the factory Firebird fuel lines. The LT1 conversion ECU and engine harness were sourced from Howell EFI, which utilized a F.A.S.T. fuel injection, and an EZ-TCU. To help keep the electrical system charged, a Powermaster alternator went into place.
Working down the driveline, and we find the 4L60E has been fortified by A-Plus Transmissions in Brighton, Michigan, that's paired with Coan Engineering high-stall torque converter, that helps put the internally-stock LT1 in its needed power band, when called upon. A Coleman Racing 3-inch aluminum driveshaft sends the power from the built gearbox to the factory 10-bolt, that's equipped with 3.42 gears. In our experience, we recommend that Ed swaps that out for something more substantial in the near future.
Underneath, VSE front and rear sway bars, front end links, Panhard bar and rear lower control arms were thrown into the suspension mix. As was a UMI K-member, front tubular A-arms, Monroe shocks and struts, modified stock springs and a torque arm from HHR — Jim and Matt's company. HHR also supplied the 3rd-gen specific Fire-Am decals.
In addition to the Fire-Am callouts, the car's aesthetics have largely been left factory stock — the only deviations that are remotely noticeable, are the Hawks rear spoiler, as well as the YearOne 17-inch Honeycomb wheels. You normally wouldn't think it, but they look amazingly at-home on an '80s car with their '70s styling, but '90s OEM dimensions. They're currently wrapped in Nitto NT55G2 rubber, which are sized in at 275/40/17 on all four corners of the car.
With over 465hp on tap, and a pretty much unassuming demeanor, it may be safe to call this one-off Fire Am tribute car a sleeper. Or would that be reaching? Either way, if cars like Ed's Trans Am are the new benchmark for the way third-gen F-bodies are built, then we welcome the growing trend of restored '80s-era muscle with new arms.

Swaminathan, B and Ramanarayanan, V (2004) A novel resonant transition push-pull DC-DC converter. In: Journal of the Indian Institute of Sciences, 84 (6). pp. 217-232.
In hard-switched converters, the switching frequency is limited by switching losses and EMI problems. However, high-switching frequency is necessary to reduce the converter size. Hence, soft switching is imperative at high switching frequency to obtain good efficiency. Push-pull converter is a preferred topology at medium power level. This paper proposes a novel resonant transition topology for push-pull converter. The proposed topology uses two additional switches and two diodes when compared to hard-switched push-pull converter. These extra switches introduce freewheeling in the primary circuit and thus enable loss-less switching. In classical push-pull converters, the transformer primary is left open during two sub-intervals in a period making the turn-on of the switch hard. The new circuit topology converts these open circuit intervals into freewheeling ones. With such a modification, all trapped energy in the core is conserved to achieve zero-voltage switching during the entire transition. Switch stress, control and small signal model are similar to hard-switched PWM converter. Idealized analysis and design methodology are explained for the push-pull converter. A prototype-300 kHz, 200 W push-pull converter validates the design method. Dynamic analysis of the push-pull converter is presented. The proposed topology can be extended to half-bridge converter also. Its circuit diagram is presented.

Meet Mack
Nothing can stop Mack from running, playing basketball or doing anything else he wants to do.
St. Jude patient Mack, bone cancer
Mack is a boy in motion. He runs and jumps and tumbles as much as any 9-year-old.
Mack is also a cancer survivor and amputee, but that becomes an afterthought in his day-to-day. He runs everywhere.
"He doesn't walk anywhere anymore," his mom Amanda says. "If we don't break the prosthetics, we outgrow them. The prosthetic place has a warranty on them now." But at age 6, Mack made a decision that would impact whether he would ever run again.
Mack, at age 6, with his family in 2015.
Mack hoped to play basketball during the fall season of 2014. But what began as leg pain developed into a knot. And then what was thought to be a bone infection was diagnosed as Ewing sarcoma, bone cancer. Mack had already been spent a month in the hospital.
"We always heard St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is the best place for children's cancer, so we didn't really question the referral when we got it," Amanda said. Mack was in multi-organ failure by the time he arrived via air ambulance to St. Jude on Christmas Eve. He hadn't moved in two weeks.
"His system was shutting down," Amanda recalled. "He was yellow from jaundice, his kidneys had stopped. Come to find out my child cannot have antibiotics at all."
"St. Jude started that night trying to make him better," Amanda said. "That just shows how much they care about the kids there." After arriving at St. Jude, Mack mustered the strength to ask that his Christmas gifts be sent to his three younger siblings: Jacob, Sarah and Emily.
St. Jude identified that Mack had DRESS syndrome, an adverse reaction to medications such as antibiotics, which is rarely discovered in children. After his care team stopped antibiotics, his body began to recover quickly. He then endured 14 rounds of chemotherapy and eight months of uncertainty about whether he'd be able to keep his leg.
St. Jude has a team of experts who perform limb-sparing procedures in children with bone tumors such as Ewing sarcoma, but in some cases amputation is necessary to ensure the tumor is completely removed. Mack's parents were hopeful their choice would provide his best chance at survival, and a more active life.
Mack and his sister, Sarah, explore the river near their home.
"We talked to Mack about it, even though he was only 6," says Amanda. "We really left it up to him and went over both surgeries and, in the end, he accepted it before we did. He said, 'Mom, it's sick, just chop it off. After this leg is gone I can run again.' He, his dad and I knew this was the best for him, but deep down I was so sad for him."

"The first thing I wanted to do was play basketball when I got out of surgery," Mack says now. Less than 24 hours post-amputation, he was ready to take his first steps. Hooked up to every kind of monitor imaginable and still an inpatient at St. Jude, Mack walked around his own hospital bed in disbelief at his accomplishment. "I'm doing it?" he asked in a small voice.
Mack is now done with cancer treatment and has adjusted to life with a prosthetic. On a Monday night after a long day of school and homework, Mack plays three out of four quarters in his game. Frustration turns his face red when he misses a free throw, exertion keeps him sweaty. Running in that prosthetic must be grueling, but Mack doesn't cut his game short. He goes the full length of the court, back and forth, over and over.
Mack keeps his eyes on the ball and his hands up, waving. He's open.
Help our families focus on their sick child, not medical bills.
When you donate monthly, your gift means families, like Mack's, never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

The touring production stars Christie Prades and Mauricio Martinez.
The Cuban couple, alongside Miami Sound Machine, was really the first Latin act to enjoy consistent crossover success in the U.S. The 1985 album "Primitive Love" made them pop darlings on the strength of singles "Conga," "Bad Boy" and "Words Get in the Way." And that was just the beginning.
That journey to crossover fame is chronicled in the musical "On Your Feet!" playing Tuesday-Sunday at the Hobby Center. The touring Broadway production includes all of Gloria's biggest hits - "Rhythm is Gonna Get You," "1-2-3," "Coming Out of the Dark" - and details her struggle after a 1990 bus accident left her unable to walk.
Christie Prades, who plays Estefan onstage, says she hopes the audience gets to understand Gloria on a human level.
"I grew up listening to her and hearing about her story from my parents. It's definitely a huge responsibility," says Prades, who was born and raised in Miami to Cuban immigrant parents. "She really was one of the first female artists to crossover from the Latin market. To see her break those boundaries is thrilling."
Christie Prades as Gloria Estefan, ON YOUR FEET!
Gloria went on to become a bonafide superstar who experimented in multiple genres, from traditional Cuban music to Studio 54-era disco to pop standards. Her career has become a blueprint for future artists looking to straddle languages and styles.
Gloria and Emilio also were integral in the '90s crossover era that ushered in the likes of Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. Emilio co-produced English-language debuts for all three acts. Gloria co-wrote Shakira's English-language debut single "Whenever, Wherever" and "Lopez's "Let's Get Loud."
"We're proud every time a Hispanic or somebody with our sound crosses worldwide," Gloria told the Houston Chronicle in 2008. "The door opens that much further."
Gloria's own songs, aside from being supremely catchy pop hits, often were personal anthems that detailed her successes and struggles. That's evident in the show, which doesn't function as a traditional jukebox musical with songs in chronological order. Instead, the songs are placed where they make the most sense and used to propel the story.
"These songs meant a lot to us. We wrote them with intention, for them to be meaningful to the listener," says Clay Ostwald, music director for "On Your Feet!" and a member of Miami Sound Machine for more than 30 years.
He also recognizes that the show's themes take on added relevance in the current cultural climate.
"It's not an easy part of our society, for cultures to really understand and empathize and move forward with people that are very different than us. But it's inevitable. It's part of what makes us who we are and what makes us humans. If you fight against it, you're gonna lose," he says.
"That's part of what this story's about. They (Gloria and Emilio) had to stand up for their culture and carry it forward to the younger generation and to other cultures in a way that was artistically creative. The arts help us do that if we let them."

On debt ceiling, White House bets Republicans will blink under pressure
By Trevor Hunnicutt
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The White House is refusing to negotiate with hardline Republicans on raising the debt ceiling because it believes enough of them will eventually back off their demands, as a growing chorus of investors, business groups and moderate conservatives warn of the dangers of edging towards a default.
The high-stakes deadlock is widely expected to last for months, and could come down to the last minute as each side tests the other ahead of June when the U.S. government might be forced to default on paying its debt.
As the White House calls for House of Representatives Republicans to lift the debt ceiling to avoid economic chaos, it plans to highlight their threats to spending programs and the global economy, aides and allies of President Joe Biden say.
"Leading congressional Republicans have themselves admitted in the past that default would trigger an economic collapse, killing millions of jobs and decimating 401k plans," White House spokesperson Andrew Bates told Reuters. "But hardline MAGA Republicans are now advocating for this outcome."
The U.S. government hit its $31.4 trillion borrowing limit on Thursday, a figure that reflects money already spent by the government. House Republicans want cuts to government programs
before they will approve a higher ceiling; a similar demand sparked a 2011 credit rating downgrade and chaos in financial markets.
But the White House's strategy has its risks, given the unpredictable nature of the hardline Republicans in the House, some Democrats say.
"Certainly there are segments of the House Republican caucus, and in the broader sort of conservative atmosphere, that are fairly explicitly making the case that it wouldn't be the worst thing" to not come to a deal with Democrats, said Tobin Marcus, who served as an economic adviser to then Vice President Biden during a 2011 debt ceiling fight.
Republicans call the idea of a default alarmist.
"We're not going to default on the debt. We have the ability to manage servicing and paying our interest. But we similarly should not blindly increase the debt ceiling," Representative Chip Roy, a leading conservative, told Reuters.
2024 CAMPAIGN FOCUS ON EXTREMISM
The game of chicken comes as the White House prepares Biden's expected re-election campaign. Biden, 80, is expected to announce in February that he plans to run for a second term, and aides plan to focus on the rock-solid labor market, falling costs and threats from "extreme" Republicans.
The debt ceiling fight could help Biden here, some strategists say.
Some aides think he has plenty to gain from being seen as "the adult in the room" facing an opposition willing to tank the economy. Democrats are planning to deploy that theme in the 2024 election even if an agreement is reached quickly on the debt ceiling.
The White House is also flagging Republicans' vague plans to prioritize some federal spending over others as the debt limit nears, and suggestions from others that spending on Social Security be targeted.
Biden on Monday dismissed some lawmakers as "fiscally demented."
Meanwhile, the economic picture remains mixed.
Biden and top U.S. officials have repeatedly said they believe the economy's growth can slow to more sustainable levels, without putting people out of work. The so-called "soft landing" is what the Federal Reserve is aiming for as well, though they have conceded that goal may be elusive.
Retail sales fell the most in a year in December, suggesting growth is ebbing in the consumption-driven U.S. economy. Factory output, a barometer on the president's goal to revive U.S. manufacturing, also recorded its biggest drop in nearly two years last month.
Biden didn't mention these figures when they were released, but praised a different economic report also released on Wednesday on producer prices that showed progress in taming inflation, the administration's top economic concern.
"We've got the most vibrant economy in the world right now – in the world," Biden said in a political speech on Monday. "We're doing better than any other major nation in the world today."
Trillions in spending authorized in the first two years of Biden's presidency is expected to be distributed over the coming years, which the White House says will help U.S. growth and stave off recession.
A failure to raise the debt ceiling could have the opposite effect.
"From both an economic and a financial perspective, a failure to raise the debt ceiling would be an unmitigated disaster," said David Kelly, chief global strategist for JPMorgan Chase & Co funds.
"While a failure to increase the debt ceiling is the most immediate fiscal threat to the economy and markets in 2023, damage could also be done either by continuing to neglect deficits altogether or by inflicting very sharp fiscal tightening on an economy which is now thoroughly hooked on the drugs of monetary and fiscal stimulus."

Cineplex and Canadian Theatres Enable Genocide by Featuring Propaganda Film "The Kashmir Files"
March 31st, 2022
Canadian theatres, including global cinemas, are screening the controversial film The Kashmir Files. This film presents a sensationalized depiction of the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits in the 1990s due to the insurgency at that time. According to human rights defenders, the film contains all the hallmarks of a propaganda movie—stereotyping, exaggeration, distortion, and copious graphic communal violence.
"Canadian theatres that feature this film enabled Islamophobia by allowing such propaganda movies. The actual holocaust unfolding in Kashmir is the one organized by the Indian state," said Taha Ghayyur, Executive Director. "According to Genocide Watch, the Indian government and security forces have enabled countless deaths, thousands of enforced disappearances, mass rapes, prolonged imprisonments, and custodial torture in the region," added Ghayyur.
Cineplex was previously complicit in streaming Bollywood's Sooryavanshi, a film that perpetuates stereotypes about Muslims in India, contributing to the rising climate of hate and discrimination faced by India's 200 million Muslim minority population.
The Kashmir Files uses repetitive Islamophobic tropes; the film portrays Muslims as violent, barbaric, or vile. The film draws comparisons between Kashmiri Pandits and Jews, referring to the exodus as the "holocaust," a comparison that is unsustainable and against all realities on the ground.
The film's director, Vivek Agnihotri, is a staunch supporter of India's rightwing Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). There has been no attempt to hide the real purpose of the movie. Like many mainstream media and entertainment outlets, The Kashmir Files incites anti-Muslim violence in India.
According to Ravish Kumar, Managing Editor of NDTV India, "mainstream media is murdering Indian democracy. They are spreading poison in society and poisoning people's thought process. They are working on a plan to spread hatred against Muslims and make Hindus insecure".
Systemic discrimination and mob violence against minorities, especially Muslims, Dalits and Christians, have become alarming. In response to recent anti-Muslim genocide calls in December 2021, the UN's Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide advised the UNSC to intervene and protect Indian minorities.
Researcher Swaliha Asiya writes in her film analysis: "Within the first few minutes into the movie, the audience is acquainted with the antagonist, complete with all identity markers of the traditional skull cap and beard. Unsurprisingly the right-wing's favourite director largely relies on unoriginal caricatures of the stereotypical 'Muslim villain,' complete with machine guns, eye makeup, and periodic 'Allahu Akbar' to set a strong Islamophobic undertone."
While the story of Kashmiri Pandits' migration from the valley requires to be told, filmmakers must possess a certain degree of ethical obligation in retelling such historical traumas to avoid enhanced victimization and villainization.
The Kashmir Files embraces a one-sided narration of the events. This conveys dangerous lies, painting every Kashmiri Muslim as either a terrorist, a militant-sympathizer, or a separatist. Scenes in the film showcase entities as usurping food supplies of perceived victims, encroaching victim lands, and inflicting unspeakable acts of violence on-screen. Director Agnihotri paints Kashmiri Muslims as antagonists deserving of hatred.
The movie has received much praise and admiration from India's ruling BJP government, even securing tax cuts in several BJP-ruled states. With words of high praise coming from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP Ministers, and MLAs, the movie has become a landmark propaganda production evoking 'righteous Hindu anger' from Hindu audiences in theatres across India.
Classifying 'The Kashmir Files' As Propaganda Movie
While portraying the pains of Kashmiri Pandits and addressing the community's migration in the film, Agnihotri has deliberately erased the struggles of Kashmiri Muslims who died during the perceived exodus, many while opposing the militant incursion of separatist elements.
In creating the binary of the 'Hindu Victim' and 'Muslim Perpetrator' narrative, the movie succeeds in sowing sentiments of distrust and anger towards individuals of the Islamic faith.
In the last portion of the film, the impassioned monologue delivered by the movie's protagonist, Krishna, lays heavy emphasis on the lost supremacy of the victims. It redirects the righteous Hindu anger towards the "invading Muslim enemies."
Psychology Professor Jordan Peterson has explained this phenomenon in the discourse that precedes genocide in genocidal states and said, "The enhancement of a sense of victimization on the part of one of the groups – usually the group that is going to commit genocide – their sense of being victims is heightened by the demagogues who are trying to stir up this sort of hatred by essentially blaming a group of people for their perceived victimization."
This propaganda movie ends on an emotionally charged note, leaving viewers with graphic images of torture and persecution on the projected victims committed by the enemy construct – who is shown to be visibly Muslim, with all the audio and visual identity markers to suggest the same – categorizing them as the 'evil' other.
The effectiveness of such dangerous propaganda can be observed in various post-movie reactions. The Kashmir Files contains characteristics of a propaganda film, as it deliberately attempts to manipulate sentiments to attain desired reactions related to the film's subject. Such mass manipulation methods are referenced in India's genocide warning issued by Genocide Watch founder Dr. Gregory Stanton. During a congressional briefing, he stated that India is in a "preparation stage" of a genocide of Muslim minorities.
Since being released in theatres, a series of viral videos show audiences chanting genocidal slogans, including:
"Jab mulle kate jayenge, ram ram chillayenge" When Muslims are slaughtered, they will chant Ram Ram (name of a Hindu deity).
Inciting Hindu youth to marry Muslim women (to impregnate them with Hindu children).
Pledging to reduce the Muslim population by half.
Taking oaths of retaliation.
From the perspective of our anti-genocide organization, it's clear The Kashmir Files is working to trigger mass violence incitement against Muslims deliberately.
Unfortunately, such mass radicalization is not just limited to India.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) is a militant religious outfit with a chapter in Canada (VHP Canada). Human Rights Watch (HRW) called out the VHP for their in the 2002 Gujarat genocide. The HRW report also documented communal violence against Muslims and Christians in India. VHP Canada has been offering complimentary tickets and organizing screenings of The Kashmir Files, further inciting anti-Muslim hatred in Canadian communities.

The purpose of patience generally involves manipulating a layout of cards with a goal of sorting them in some manner. It is possible to play the same games competitively (often a head to head race) and cooperatively.
Patience games typically involve dealing cards from a shuffled deck into a prescribed arrangement on a tabletop, from which the player attempts to reorder the deck by suit and rank through a series of moves transferring cards from one place to another under prescribed restrictions. Some games allow for the reshuffling of the decks, or the placement of cards into new or "empty" locations. In the most familiar, general form of patience, the object of the game is to build up four blocks of cards going from ace to king in each suit, taking cards from the layout if they appear on the table.
There is a vast array of variations on the patience theme, using either one or more decks of cards, with rules of varying complexity and skill levels. Many of these have been converted to electronic form and are available as computer games.
A flashlight (more often called a torch outside North America) is a portable hand-held electric light. The source of the light is usually an incandescent light bulb (lamp) or light-emitting diode (LED). A typical flashlight consists of the light source mounted in a reflector, a transparent cover (sometimes combined with a lens) to protect the light source and reflector, a battery, and a switch. These are supported and protected by a case.
The invention of the dry cell and miniature incandescent electric lamps made the first battery-powered flashlights possible around 1899. Today, flashlights use mostly incandescent lamps or light-emitting diodes and run on disposable or rechargeable batteries. Some are powered by the user turning a crank or shaking the lamp, and some have solar panels to recharge a battery.
In addition to the general-purpose hand-held flashlight, many forms have been adapted for special uses. Head or helmet-mounted flashlights designed for miners and campers leave the hands free. Some flashlights can be used underwater or in flammable atmospheres. Flashlights are used as a light source when in a place with no power or during power outages.
