I know I’m the only one who cares about this but my favorite flavor of Linux Ubutnu 8.04 LTS, codenamed “Hardy Heron” (LTS stands for long term support) has been released upon the unsuspecting masses today, and as usual, all of the servers are being hammered as I type :)

But never fear! BitTorrent works like a champ in times like these!

New features to get giddy about:

  • Xorg 7.3 – the desktop engine, with some changes that have emphasis on ease of resolution and dpi management
  • Gnome 2.22 – newest release of the Gnome desktop, very polished interface (tends to feel like OSX to me)
  • Added default applications: Transmission for BitTorrent protocol, Brasero for integrated CD/DVD burning
  • And more that I won’t bother to list

I currently use the Ubuntu OS to run my MythTV system and, you guessed it, this website.

Collector cars typically spend a lot of their lives under dust covers. Thus, their maintenance schedules are invariably dictated by time, not mileage. In fact, this has relevance as well for everyday cars that see only moderate use.

Over time, lubricants degrade through inevitable oxidation and as their additive packages lose potency through evaporation. So it's important to check the calendar as well as your car's odometer.

But what of tires? In the old days, tire aging wasn't a problem. They needed replacement long before this ever became an issue.

But not so today. Even if not being worn away, tires also degrade through inherent oxidation, loss of oils in their compounds and damage from sunlight, ozone and acid rain.

How long are tires safe?

I checked with specialists in the auto industry as well as tiremakers and suppliers, including the extremely knowledgeable — and straightforward — people at The Tire Rack. Here's what I learned:

Because tire aging depends on so many things, tiremakers themselves tend to set no definitive life span on their products. A worst case might be a car sitting in the hot sun in an area known to receive occasional acid rain caused by a coal-fired power plant. At the other extreme is that garaged collector car under its dust cover or a spare tire residing placidly in the trunk.

There's also the age of a tire at the time of fitment. Had it already been sitting in a warehouse for a year? Or was it the product of "just-in-time" manufacturing?

The clock is ticking as soon as a tire pops out of its vulcanizing mold. But this clock ticks irregularly indeed.

At least in part for technical reasons (and I suspect because of our litigious culture), DaimlerChrysler and have recently issued recommendations of replacing tires at six-year intervals, regardless of remaining tread. Similar thinking prevails in Germany where, understandably, traveling flat-out is not unknown and some of its Autobahnen still have no speed limits. In the U.K., a 10-year recommendation is typical.

Last, and to me most important, is the matter of usage. I'm confident of my Morgan's 10-year old — and still well-treaded — Dunlops in its current role of Sunday ice-cream car. But I'd certainly fit new tires before I took the car on another 1000-mile tour of Arizona or, even more challenging, to one of our Morgan Plus Four Club autocrosses.

Other Neat Tire Tidbits

The Tire Rack's John Rastetter shared other neat tire tidbits. In no particular order:

The best sources of compressed air have extensive — and expensive — dryers that remove moisture. These are found at good race-preparation shops, major tire dealers and the like. At the other extreme is a simple home compressor bereft of any moisture-reduction hardware whatsoever. Local convenience-store pumps and service station outlets fall somewhere in between, likely closer to a home compressor, particularly if their equipment hasn't been well maintained.

Dry air is better than wet because it maintains its pressure with more regularity in response to temperature differences. It's less corroding to metallic elements of the tire and wheel surfaces as well. Similarly, as it's utterly dry, nitrogen makes an especially good medium for tire inflation. In fact, this gas is actually more beneficial for the street than for the track. In the long term, it has the added payoff of reducing tire oxidation from within. Nitrogen is not particularly easy to find, but again race-prep shops and major tire suppliers are good possibilities.

Last, race teams often use dry air rather than nitrogen, simply because oxidation isn't an issue, what with their tire design life measured in hours, not years.

Mystery Fuel Pill Revealed!

George and William Besler liked steam power. In fact, in 1934 William flew a steam-powered airplane, likely the first of its kind, in Oakland, California. According to a contemporary report, the plane was so quiet that Besler could be heard greeting those on the ground as he flew past. Also noteworthy was its steam engine's easy reversing, thus generating a reverse-thrust prop simply by spinning it backwards.

The Beslers fooled with automobiles as well. My favorite story, told by Charles A. Amann at an SAE Historical session, concerns a Besler steam-powered .

The car looked stock, functioned just fine but consumed a lot of water. Besler would pull up to a gas station's water supply and stick the hose into what appeared to be the Chevy's fuel tank.

"No, no! Not that one!" the station attendant would cry.

"That's okay," Besler would say, topping up the water and then tossing in an aspirin tablet. "That should get me a few hundred miles."

At Confirmation, Kerry Urges Congress to Restore Fiscal Order

Speaking at his secretary of State confirmation hearing, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., made an unexpected and forceful appeal Thursday to his colleagues in Congress to get the country’s own fiscal house in order, arguing that it’s a prerequisite for American leadership abroad.

“The greatest challenge to America’s foreign policy will be in your hands, not mine,” Kerry told members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a panel he has chaired for the past four years.

“More than ever, foreign policy is economic policy,” he said in his opening remarks. “My plea is that we can summon, across party lines, without partisan divisions, an economic patriotism that recognizes that American strength and prospects abroad depend on American strength and results at home.”

Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, the new ranking Republican on the committee, told Kerry those comments had him wishing, for a moment, that “you’d been nominated for secretary of Treasury.”

Kerry, who has served in the Senate for almost three decades, choked up as he remarked that he had both the Senate and the Foreign Service in his blood, and he promised to work closely with the Congress in forging ahead on U.S. foreign policy priorities.

The veteran lawmaker made clear during the hearing that he intends to follow closely in the footsteps of his predecessor, Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom he said “has set a very high mark for the stewardship of the State Department and her commitment to country.”

In his opening statement, Kerry promised to “work hard to augment our public diplomacy” — something Clinton has excelled at — and noted that “there is more that can be done to advance our economic capacity and interests.” Clinton elevated what she dubbed “economic statecraft” to the top of the State Department’s agenda.

Kerry highlighted both those aspects of diplomacy in the context of the Arab Spring, which he called “a monumental transformation” for the region.

“I think there is a struggle that is going to go on while we are here, while I’m secretary and you are senators ... for the minds of people in many parts of the world,” he told Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who expressed concern that the Obama administration has not done enough to engage Libya since the fall of its dictator, Muammar el-Qaddafi. “I believe we can do a better job, frankly, of galvanizing people around the values and ideas that we have organized ourselves around. But we have to do it, I think, in a lot of different ways.”

On Syria, Kerry wholeheartedly backed the cautious approach the administration has taken, advocating a political solution to the civil war there that would succeed in easing autocrat Bashar al-Assad out the door without precipitating the country’s collapse into sectarian violence.

During the hearing, Sen. John McCain urged Kerry, as secretary, to take more muscular steps to help solve the crisis in Syria.

There is, the Arizona Republican said, “a very strong impetus that we realize that the present policy is not succeeding, and to look at other options to prevent what is going on for now 22 months.”

“But,” Kerry responded, “I think you would agree with me that whatever judgments you make, they have to pass the test of whether or not, if you do them, they’re actually going to make things better.”

Kerry also voiced support for President Barack Obama’s scaled back plans for transition in Afghanistan, where the shift to Afghan security control has been sped up to this coming spring.

On the United States’ goals for the country after 2014, when all NATO combat troops are slated to depart, Kerry said the mission would be two-fold — supporting Afghan security forces and conducting counterterrorism operations. He made no mention of economic development or support for civil society. And he underscored that any peace process with the Taliban would be Afghan-, not American-led.

He also sought to reassure lawmakers — including the senator who is expected to succeed him as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Robert Menendez, D-N.J. — that the administration’s policy on Iran “is not containment.”

“It is prevention,” Kerry continued, “and the clock is ticking on our efforts to secure responsible compliance.”

But he declined to offer specifics, when pressed by Menendez, an Iran hawk, on what sort of agreement the administration might seek to convince Iran to give up its nuclear enrichment.

“It would be totally inappropriate for me here to begin to negotiate with myself,” said Kerry. “I can tell you this: It is going to be imperative that they come into full compliance” with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and previous United Nations resolutions.

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul tried to pin Kerry down on his views about Congress’ role in authorizing the use of force in places such as Libya or Syria. Paul has argued that the Obama administration ignored the 1973 War Powers Resolution (PL 93-148) when it helped enforce a no-fly zone over Libya during that country’s civil war.

It was one of the few times when Kerry found himself on awkward ground.

“I believe in congressional authority to go to war,” Kerry said. “I’ve argued that on occasion with respect to some things here, but there are occasions which I have supported where a president of the United States has to make a decision immediately and implement that decision.”

For most of the hearing, however, Kerry demonstrated mastery of a wide range of policy issues — and the loquaciousness — that he has become known for.

Corker noted Kerry’s deep knowledge on foreign affairs and “experience you developed while being on this committee and spending time abroad with world leaders,” in his opening remarks, predicting that his confirmation “will go through very, very quickly.”

The bipartisan tributes to Kerry included a heartfelt introduction by McCain, his longtime colleague and friend.

McCain recounted how he and Kerry — two Vietnam War veterans — bonded during their service, in the early 1990s, on the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs, which Kerry chaired. The aim was to ascertain the whereabouts and recover the remains of those U.S. veterans still missing in Vietnam. The pair then went on to lead the charge to normalize relations with the Southeast Asian nation.

“Helping to establish a relationship with Vietnam that serves American interests and values rather than one that remained mired in mutual resentment and bitterness is one of my proudest accomplishments as a senator,” McCain said Thursday, “and I expect it is one of John’s as well. Working toward that end with John, and witnessing almost daily his exemplary statesmanship is one of the highest privileges I’ve had here.”

Kerry joked in his opening remarks that he would not “take it personally” that his nomination has united Democrats and Republicans in their eagerness to get him out of the Senate, a nod to the fact that his departure will create a special election contest for his Massachusetts Senate seat that the GOP hopes former Sen. Scott P. Brown can win.

K Street Files: Fix the Debt's Club of Former Members; New Lobbyists Join Meyers

The Campaign to Fix the Debt has added new names to the club of former lawmakers on its newly created Congressional Fiscal Leadership Council.

Former Republican Sens. Olympia J. Snowe of Maine and Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas have joined the fold, taking their place alongside former Sens. John E. Sununu, R-N.H., and Kent Conrad, D-N.D., who recently signed on.

“The Congressional Fiscal Leadership Council is comprised of men and women who know what compromise looks like and who recognize the urgency of addressing our country’s growing federal debt,” Maya MacGuineas, a member of the Campaign to Fix the Debt steering committee, said in a statement. “This new group of affiliates will lend its experience and deep expertise to advance the mission of the Campaign to Fix the Debt.”

The group bills itself as a non-partisan movement and urges lawmakers to work together on a grand bargain to reduce government spending.

Meyers & Associates Staffs Up

David Davis, the former chief of staff to ex-Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, has landed a post-congressional gig. Davis is joining Meyers & Associates along with David Collins, a 25-year veteran of the Cotton Council International, and environmental policy specialist Tim Richardson.

“If there is a policy decision of national importance to be made, Meyers & Associates is poised to influence that decision,” President Larry D. Meyers said in a press release announcing the hires. “Just as D.C. evolves, our firm has successfully done the same since 1981 giving us the leverage of institutional knowledge coupled with a respected, experienced team.”

In addition to his work as the Texas Republican’s top aide, Davis, a onetime Army officer, was a senior adviser on the Senate Commerce Committee. Collins spent time as regional director for South Asia and the Arabian Gulf with the cotton group. Richardson, who worked on the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup, was previously government affairs director for the American Land Conservancy and he will assist the firm with its BP Deepwater Horizon project.

Echoes of Growth

The Glen Echo Group has brought on two new hires in Shermineh Rohanizadeh and Ellen Backus. Rohanizadeh, formerly with Voice of America, is signing on as director of media relations, while Backus will be senior media counsel.

Rohanizadeh is one of the founders of Weapons of Mouse Destruction, an art project directed against government Internet censorship, the firm said in a statement announcing the hires. Backus has been in the communications and corporate branding business for two decades, including with FitzGerald Communications.

“2013 has already delivered another growth spurt for the Glen Echo Group team,” said Maura Corbett, the firm’s president and founder.

The Big One

The Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America has promoted lobbyist Charles E. Symington Jr. to senior vice president of external affairs. He has been with the Big I, as the group is known, for nine years.

In his new role, Symington will manage government affairs programs including federal and state legislative work, as well as political and grass-roots operations. He will also oversee media affairs and communications.

RNC Narrows 2016 Convention Sites to Cleveland, Dallas (Video)

[field name=iframe]

The Republican National Committee announced Wednesday that Dallas and Cleveland are the finalists to host the party's 2016 national convention.

“After extensive review the site selection committee has chosen Cleveland and Dallas as finalists for the 2016 convention," RNC Site Selection Chairwoman Enid Mickelsen said in a statement. "Cleveland and Dallas demonstrated their ability to host a phenomenal convention in 2016, and the RNC is excited about the prospect of hosting our convention in either of these great cities."

Denver and Kansas City were eliminated with this decision. Las Vegas and Cincinnati took themselves out of contention two months ago.

In a statement responding to its elimination, the Kansas City bid team stated that a formal announcement for the 2016 host city is expected to be made at the RNC's summer meeting in Chicago in early August.

“The committee extends our sincere thanks and gratitude to Denver and Kansas City for their hard work and dedication to this effort," Mickelsen added. "Both teams should be proud of their work."

Senate Passes Gay Employment Rights Bill

In 2010, gay rights activists were arrested for staging a sit-in designed to pressure Congress to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Three years later, the Senate passed it. (CQ Roll Call File Photo)

The Senate on Thursday approved the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in a tempered win for gay rights advocates who still need a reluctant, GOP-controlled House to take up and pass the bill.

In a bipartisan vote, 64 senators supported the ENDA legislation, championed in the Senate by Democrat Jeff Merkley of Oregon. The bill, if it were to become law, would set a federal non-discrimination standard to ensure that private employers cannot fire employees based on their sexual orientation or identity.

Ten Republicans joined all Democrats to pass the gay rights bill, while 32 Republicans voted against the measure. Few opponents rose to speak against the bill, however. As of Wednesday evening, no one had risen to speak in opposition. Sen. Dan Coats was the first to do so on Thursday morning. He raised concerns about protections for religious institutions who believe same sex relationships are sinful.

Republicans voting for the bill included Sens. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Susan Collins of Maine, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, Dean Heller of Nevada, Mark Kirk of Illinois, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Patrick J. Toomey of Pennsylvania, Rob Portman of Ohio and John McCain of Arizona.

This year has been a significant one for gay rights advocates, as the Supreme Court reversed the Defense of Marriage Act — meaning that a marriage certificate for a gay couple in one state must be recognized in all — and several more states have passed gay marriage measures.

The future prospects for ENDA, however, appear dim. Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, opposes the bill, even as he faces some pressure to bring it to the floor. Meanwhile Rep. Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., the 2012 vice presidential nominee, has expressed an openness to supporting some non-discrimination legislation.

Currently, 21 states have such protections on the books. Religious organizations are exempt from the potential law in language similar to that found in the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The best moments from the Senate's ENDA debate can we viewed here.

How Thick Can You Be?

It's 'Time To Move On'

Norm Coleman - what a maroon.

Damn, There Goes The Circus

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
(KSTP TV) Former Senator Norm Coleman told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS Chief Political Reporter Tom Hauser late Sunday he will not be running for governor in 2010.

He will make the official announcement on his Facebook page. He released the following statement to 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS ahead of the announcement.

"I love Minnesota and I love public service, but this is not the right time for me and my family to conduct a campaign for Governor.
Well, I guess we will not have Norm to kick around anymore. Of course, there is still a federal pen with an open cell waiting for him.
Oh great. Now comes the next stage; arguing over the wording of today's release of the ruling on Franken/Coleman.

Particular sentence to be argued over:

For all of the foregoing reasons, we affirm the decision of the trial court that Al Franken received the highest number of votes legally cast and is entitled under Minn. 32 Stat. § 204C.40 (2008) to receive the certificate of election as United States Senator from the State of Minnesota.
Oh yeah. We are going to hear all sorts of rationalization and intellectualizing over the meaning of entitled.

Update: I guess Norm didn't want to get into a debate over definitions.

All Quiet About Recount

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
It's 5 PM and I've heard not a peep about Norm's court challenge to the recount.

Well, now I have. Next week, then.

So It Was Grandstanding

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks
It's official. Our governor was grandstanding when he vetoed the budget and started making noise about unilateral cuts to Medical Assistance and other programs for the poor, all so he could get the Republican base's attention.

The fucknut.

Update: Hehehehe. DWT has a great pic of TPaw and Coleman.

Time For A Recall?

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
When I was reading the many posts and articles about the court decision stating Al Franken won the senate election last year, one thought went through my mind; Governor Pawlenty will not certify the election as the law stipulates.

Now, imagine my surprise when I came across this t-shirt at DownWithTyranny!

300391480v4_240x240_Front_Color-Navy.jpgMind know, it's not definite that Coleman will file an appeal with the Minnesota State Supreme Court. He hasn't as of this posting. However, should the court refuse to hear the appeal, it's time for the Governor to certify the election. Should he refuse, than he no longer has the best interest of Minnesota citizens in mind; he is thinking only of his position in the Republican party and a run for president.

If that is the case, then hell yes! it's time for a recall.

Give It Up Norm

Star Tribune

ST. PAUL, Minn. - The judges in the Minnesota Senate trial have denied a request from Norm Coleman that they reconsider a ruling unfavorable to his case.

Last week, the judges eliminated from consideration about a dozen categories of rejected absentee ballots. That limited the number of votes Coleman, a Republican, might be able to get counted as he tries to overtake Democrat Al Franken's 225-vote lead.

You're getting more and more pathetic. Desperation just doesn't look good on you, my fellow ex-stoner.

You are an ex-stoner, right? With the stupidity you've put on display, one wonders, you know.

Norm Coleman Is An Idiot

Norm "I Want A Do Over?"

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
I've had this post from in a tab for a couple of hours now. I just don't know what to think about it. My first response was; "Are you kidding?" With Coleman's numbers in the polls sinking due to his legal wrangling, this seems the worse possible strategy. Then, with his past lip service to deficit reduction and limiting government spending, to now push for a new election is in direct contradiction to those claims. Hypocricy is not selling these days.

When I look over the whole history of the recount, it seems as if Norm is making decisions that hurt him more than help him. It's as if he's hell bent on ensuring his loss is verified and certified. But than, desperation will often result in grasping for straws. In all fairness, Al Franken's team did also show a propensity of making frivolous challenges. However, it would seem they were more willing to withdraw more challenges at the end.

In an interesting turn of events, Mark Ambinder at The Atlantic suggests Coleman could still win it, then in a surprising twist of rhetoric, suggests the Democrats (Al Franken) might request a new election. Of course, this is with the unspoken assumption Norm and his legal team are experienced practitioners of the subtle art of judicial manipulation and subterfuge. If that were the case, the recount would now be in Norm's favor. But it's not.

Once again, the facts are Norm is behind by 225 votes. Any experience at judicial manipulation and subterfuge would not have allowed this fact to be in existence. So, despite Mr. Ambinder's fear (or hope?) of a Norm win, I think we are simply seeing the grasping of straws by a desperate man who's only true desire is to remain in power.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is ready to hand rising academy talents their fair chance at breaking into the first team, but stated they must earn their place after Saturday's 3-0 win over Leicester City.
Conte used three home-grown youngsters - Nathaniel Chalobah, Ola Aina and Ruben Loftus-Cheek - as second-half substitutes last weekend. Shining brightest was Chalobah, who assisted on the Blues' third goal scored by Victor Moses with a clever piece of link play. After the match Conte revealed that form, not age, will be the ultimate factor in determining who he selections in his first team. "People who know me will know I don't gift a place to anyone," Conte said. "Only those who deserve to play will play for me. It is important for Chalobah and Aina to understand this." Conte also added: "In the future they can play from the start. Age is not important. I made my first appearance in Serie A at only 16." Wed, Oct 19, 2016 12:20:00 PM

Panthers re-signed RB Fozzy Whittaker to a two-year, $2.5 million contract.
A jack-of-all-trades reserve, Whittaker will ideally be returning as the Panthers' No. 3 running back. Whittaker turned 28 last month. It's an uninspiring start for the Panthers' backfield in an offseason where an overall talent upgrade is required. Mar 7 - 4:59 PM

Fozzy Whittaker rushed five times for 45 yards in the Panthers' Week 5 loss to the Bucs.

He caught his lone pass-game target for a gain on nine. Whittaker only received six touches to Cameron Artis-Payne's 18, and CAP also scored the two touchdowns. Whittaker's best run was a 16-yard pickup down to the one-yard line, but Derek Anderson tossed an interception on the next play. Whittaker remains a non-option in fantasy as a clear-cut backup.
Tue, Oct 11, 2016 12:14:00 AM

Fozzy Whittaker caught 9-of-9 targets for 86 yards in the Panthers' Week 4 loss to the Falcons, rushing three times for six yards.

With the Panthers' offensive line getting dominated and playing from behind all afternoon, they abandoned the running game and turned Whittaker into their No. 1 receiver. Whittaker got out-touched on the ground by Cameron Artis-Payne, but finished with an overall 12-6 edge. Jonathan Stewart seems no better than 50-50 to return in Week 5, but Whittaker hasn't done nearly enough to put himself on the RB3 radar against the Bucs.
Sun, Oct 2, 2016 05:40:00 PM

Fozzy Whittaker rushed five times for 22 yards in Carolina's Week 3 loss to the Vikings, adding five receptions for an additional 34 yards.

Running as the clear No. 2 behind Cameron Artis-Payne, a decent chunk of Whittaker's yardage came in garbage time. Whittaker didn't do anything to change the dynamic of Carolina's Jonathan Stewart-less backfield. CAP will remain the go-to guy against the Falcons in Week 4. Whittaker isn't a viable RB3.
Sun, Sep 25, 2016 05:51:00 PM

Panthers OC Mike Shula said he would likely handle the running back carries by committee without Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) in the lineup.

Fozzy Whittaker is the popular add this week following his 16-100 rushing day Week 2 after Stewart got hurt, but second-year RB Cameron Artis-Payne is expected to be active and split the load. Beat writer Scott Fowler envisions a DeAngelo Williams/Jonathan Stewart type of committee between Whittaker and CAP. When asked if Whittaker will handle 19 touches like he did this past week, Shula said "probably no." Look for each back to get 10-15 touches per game.
Wed, Sep 21, 2016 10:27:00 AM

Fozzy Whittaker had 16 carries for 100 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the 49ers.

He added three catches for 31 yards. Whittaker replaced an injured Jonathan Stewart in the first quarter. He briefly left to be checked for a concussion, but only missed one drive. With Stewart's status up in the air, Whittaker should be one of this week's top pickups. Cameron Artis-Payne has been inactive the first two games, and figures to play behind Whittaker if Stewart is held out.
Sun, Sep 18, 2016 05:22:00 PM

Panthers RB Fozzy Whittaker left Week 2 with a possible concussion.

Whittaker was forced into the game with Jonathan Stewart (ankle, hamstring) sidelined. He went down after losing a second-quarter fumble, but was cleared to return.
Sun, Sep 18, 2016 02:05:00 PM

Panthers RB Fozzy Whittaker (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Cardinals.

Whittaker's status was never in much doubt after putting in a full week of practice. He's third on Carolina's running back depth chart behind Jonathan Stewart and Cameron Artis-Payne.
Fri, Jan 22, 2016 04:40:00 PM

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said RB Fozzy Whittaker (ankle) is on to track to play in Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Cardinals.

Whittaker returned to a full practice on Wednesday. He'll fight for scraps behind Jonathan Stewart on Sunday.
Wed, Jan 20, 2016 04:17:00 PM

Panthers RB Fozzy Whittaker (ankle) is expected back at practice Wednesday.

Whittaker has been sidelined three weeks with a high-ankle sprain. There was some worry outside the organization about Jonathan Stewart's (foot, ankle) status Monday, but coach Ron Rivera did not sound concerned. With Stewart almost certain to play, Whittaker will be a change-of-pace option if he suits up.
Tue, Jan 19, 2016 11:57:00 AM

Panthers declared RB Fozzy Whittaker, WR Brenton Bersin, DE Ryan Delaire, FS Dean Marlowe, WR Kevin Norwood, RB Brandon Wegher, and CB Lou Young inactive for Sunday's Divisional Round game against the Seahawks.

Whittaker (ankle) was ruled out earlier this week. Kony Ealy (illness), Ted Ginn (knee) and Jonathan Stewart (foot) are all active for Carolina.
Sun, Jan 17, 2016 11:59:00 AM

Panthers RB Fozzy Whittaker (high-ankle sprain) has been ruled out for the Divisional Round.

Whittaker's status has taken on less importance with Jonathan Stewart back to full health. Cameron Artis-Payne and Mike Tolbert will back up J-Stew against the Seahawks.
Thu, Jan 14, 2016 02:49:00 PM

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Fozzy Whittaker suffered a high-ankle sprain Week 16 against the Falcons.

Rapoport reports Whittaker will miss next week, but there is hope he could return for the playoffs. With Jonathan Stewart's (foot) status still up in the air, Cameron Artis-Payne could have a featured role in a tough matchup with the Bucs Week 17.
Mon, Dec 28, 2015 11:34:00 AM

Fozzy Whittaker exited Week 16 against the Falcons with an ankle injury.

Whittaker rode the cart to the locker room and was spotted wearing a walking boot on his right foot after the game. Whittaker called the injury a sprain, but he is not sure about his timetable. With Jonathan Stewart's (foot) status still up in the air, Cameron Artis-Payne could have a featured role in a tough matchup with the Bucs next week.

Mon, Dec 28, 2015 10:48:00 AM

Fozzy Whittaker earned 32 yards on five carries and caught both of his targets for six yards in the Panthers' Week 16 loss to the Falcons.

Whittaker drew the start ahead of Cameron Artis-Payne and Mike Tolbert. He rushed four times for 34 yards on Carolina’s opening drive. Whittaker only saw one more carry after that and it went for negative yardage. The Whittaker/Artis-Payne/Tolbert trio will go back into hibernation as soon as Jonathan Stewart returns from a sprained foot.

Ashton sweating on scan results

Date published: Thursday, May 21, 2015
TOM Ashton has his fingers crossed for good news in a consultation at Salford Royal Hospital tomorrow (Fri) to discuss scan results.

“I’m calling Friday D-Day — the day I get the big decision on what happens next,” said the 22-year-old Oldham RL centre, who damaged his left knee in only his second game for the club against South Wales Scorpions at Mountain Ash a month ago.
Having signed from Sheffield Eagles in mid-March, Ashton impressed in a try-scoring debut against Coventry Bears at Whitebank on April 12 and followed up with another eye-catching display in South Wales before he was injured in a tackle just before half-time.
He had a scan a fortnight ago and he sees a specialist tomorrow for the prognosis.
Said coach Scott Naylor: “He’s anxious to know when he can start training again, but that will obviously depend on what the scan has thrown up and whether he needs surgery or just rest and rehab.
“We need to know what comes next so that we can get on with doing whatever is required to get him back in training and then playing for us again.”
Ashton was on crutches for a while after the South Wales game, but he is walking unaided again now and says he is hopeful that the prognosis might not be as serious as was first feared.
“Initially, I was given specific exercises to do and it was difficult at first, but now I’m doing them easily, so that’s got to be a good sign,” he added.
“I’m feeling good and hoping I might be able to start light training again in a couple of weeks, but everything depends on the scan results and the specialist’s verdict.”
Ashton’s injury was one half of a double back-division whammy for Roughyeds, who lost on-loan Jon Ford about the same time when he was recalled by his parent club, Salford Red Devils.
George Tyson, primarily a back-row forward, has done a great job at centre with back-up from Sammy Gee and Jack Holmes, but Tyson will now miss the next two games against Keighley and North Wales because of suspension.
Most League One teams, including leaders Oldham, are without a game this weekend because of the inaugural, two-day Summer Bash for Championship clubs at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool and the iPro Sport Cup final between North Wales Crusaders and Swinton Lions at the same venue.
The cup final kicks off at noon on Saturday, to be followed at 2.30pm by the first of the six Summer Bash games, Workington Town v Whitehaven.
All six, three on Saturday, three on Sunday, will be screened live by Sky Sports.
The only League One fixture is York City Knights v South Wales Scorpions tomorrow, kicking off at 8pm.

ROLF: "Bond. Jane Bond."

"The Name is Bond. Jane Bond."

When Great Britain's greatest secret agent travels to Shanghai to facilitate the defection of Chinese scientist Dr. Hu Yu what should have been a simple mission turns into a fight for her life against a mysterious masked figure and a chinese dragon.

Nothing is ever simple when you're Jane Bond, Agent 002.

ROLF!: "Bond. Jane Bond." is NUELOW Games's kinda-sorta tribute to the greatest series of spy movies of all times. It's also the second entry in the epic Year of the Dragon Trilogy AND the ninth "Final Battle" of a possible twelve, as we help facilitate one last game session in before the prophesized end of the world.

That's a lot to load onto one Fifty Cent game product, and that's even before we talk about the pre-generated characters, traits, combat maneuvers, battle scenarios, and cool drawings within its pages.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books.

Watch Out for This Guy

Michael Smith's debut in trail racing has landed him some big wins already, and we predict we'll be seeing a lot more of Smith on the top of the podium.

Friday, December 4, 2009, 12:00 am
We first noticed 29-year-old Michael Smith from Flagstaff, Ariz., as he and his partner Robert Krar obliterated the competition at this summer's multi-day TransRockies Run, which was no easy feat. He then got our attention when he won the high-altitude Soulstice Mountain Trail Run. And we just couldn't ignore him when he won the three-day TrailRun WorldMasters race in Germany in November. So we had to ask: Who is this guy? What makes him so fast? And what else is he planning on winning? Here's what he has to say:

What's your running and racing background?
I was an All-American at Georgetown. I ran the 5,000 and 10,000 meters in track, and was an All-American and captain of the cross country team in 2002. A couple years after college, I decided to train for the Olympic Trials Marathon, which I qualified for, but I didn't have a good day.

The TransRockies was your first trail race, and you and your teammate won in impressive fashion. How did you get into trail running?
I moved to Flagstaff to train for the Trials, and there are hundreds of miles of the most perfect stuff to run on. I did most of my road race training on the trails to save my legs. I ran a lot of rough and technical trails. Even though I really hadn't done any trail races before the TransRockies, I was running about 105 miles a week on trails (of 120-mile/week training). That made the transition a lot easier.

What led you to the Olympic Trials Marathon?
After college, I was teaching 5th grade in the 'hood in DC, and going to grad school at American. The best thing I could have done for my running was taking that two year break. I was on a really good team in college. It's not a joke, running on a team like that, traveling all the time. I came out and really needed that break. Taking those two years really mattered for me to find life in running again. Other people I knew who kept running right out of school got so fried, they can't even look at a pair of running shoes. You put yourself on the backburner a lot in teaching. It was a total change of lifestyle for a while and really good for my running.

How'd you get back into it?
In the summer of 2006, I was finishing my masters, and my lease was up. Everything was aligning, and the Beijing Olympics were coming up. I decided to try to make the marathon standard, and qualified to race, but the Trials marathon race didn't turn out the way I wanted.

Can you tell us about your most recent win?
It was in Dortmund, Germany, and started with a 5-K time trial on Friday night. The second-day was a 21-mile run on pretty crazy terrain ... You'd be running through the forest, and all of a sudden, the course would run you up some ancient cobblestone steps, do some really sharp turns and steep up and downs. You never really knew what you were headed into.

The third day was 12 or 13 miles, and similar terrain to day 2. There was a couple of inches of mud with a layer of leaves on it. A lot of trail running is hard dirt, which is immediate energy return with every foot strike. The wet, muddy footing is a whole other thing, especially when you get tired. Your form breaks down.

In all my years of running—and I've been running a long time—this was one of the most wild and unique experiences.

Okay, so how did the race go down for you?
After the first day's 5-K, I was in fifth place, 20 seconds out of first. That said to me there were some good runners there, but it wasn't like a race over here where you know who the competition was. I had no idea who these people were. One guy in a full Salomon running kit ended up being the German National Mountain Running Champion.

But, days 2 and 3 were more my type of thing in that they were longer races. I started chipping away at people, but it was a battle.

How so?
I took off with these guys out front. I'm thinking on trails, this 21-mile course would be 2.5 hours of running. I looked at my watch and thought, "This pace is ridiculous." These guys were just flying. I'm thinking, "This is insane. I don't know anyone who can keep this pace through the woods. If they're that good, I can't beat them anyway."

So I let them go out front, and I had a real rough patch for a while—my head started getting negative, as they were pulling ahead. At one point I was in like, seventh place. I started questioning myself: "What am I doing in Germany?" But I started focusing on one guy at a time, chipping away. I came around a corner on a guy who had been leading at one point, and he was running like a 10-minute pace. I passed him, and was in second. The last four or five miles was a straight shot on hard-packed dirt, and with my background in track and road running, it played to my strengths. I ended up winning that day and the next, and winning the event.

How was it racing another stage race?
Racing hard day after day, I paid a price: Calorically, after that second day, I was shot. I nursed a lot of soreness that night. I couldn't loosen up for the third day, which was 13 miles, and I was not sure how I'd even run. But in a stage race, no one feels good. No one's on the starting line all chipper.

What did you learn from the race?
I consider myself a veteran of a lot of things, but you still learn. It just takes these odd scenarios. It's never over. You can have two hours of a bad patch ... You just have to keep your concentration and stay positive.

Sometimes you have to trust that you know enough of what you're doing. Sometimes you don't know what's happening ahead.

So, that was just a few weeks ago. How are you recovering?
Slowly but surely. I got really torn up that second day, especially. I'm more used to these one-day races, where you can get banged up and sit on the couch afterward. I looked pretty funny walking through the airport.

Will you go back to road racing anytime soon?
I haven't been road-running because I've been having fun with this stuff. You really see how young the elite side of trail running is. A lot of people in ultras and trail running, I think, have a lot to learn from road running, and road races have a lot to learn from ultras. I think we'll all look back on this time as a foundational time for trail running. There's so much to learn. I think, with having the background I have in road running, I can access different paces. But that definitely doesn't mean I'm a better runner.

In the same token, a lot of these guys in preparing for the TransRockies do back-to-back-to-back workouts. Tell a 10-K runner that and they think you're crazy.

Can you expand on that a little?
People have these numbers in their head, like, "I can only do one workout a week." But if you duplicate stage racing a few days in a row, it gives you some other ideas that make things possible. That's the learning process of it, of training.

What is it like living and training in Flagstaff?
I've been here three years. I moved out from Washington, D.C., and when I moved here, I got a job at the Center for High Altitude Training, and they put my desk in the same office as Jack Daniels. Here I was, this 26-year-old runner, and I get to the same room with this guy. It was really great to pick his brain on things, do some testing with him. He's not officially my coach, but he's a good friend. If I ever have any issues with training I know I can ask him.

So what did you do for the now-defunct Center for High Altitude Training?
It was the official U.S. Olympic training site, and I worked in the Community Olympic Development program. We've since begun a community running program with kids, and that became Team Altius (which means "higher" in Latin) as a community running club. Last year, I got promoted, and handled logistics with the international teams who visit the Center.

Now, I do some coaching on my own through the Run S.M.A.R.T. Project. I do some editing on the side, and I work for a consulting company does that the international side of things for Altius.

You're an un-sponsored runner right now. What do you think about that?
Yeah, I'm not signed with anyone now. People are telling me I should be getting into that. But, I have no obligations right now. I have this incredible sense of freedom. I'm really enjoying being my own boss. But, for the right situation, I would gladly take it!

So you thought you might race the TNF Endurance Challenge Championship this Saturday, but ... not happening?
I just know racing this soon after the race in Germany is not a good idea. I'm not fully recovered, and 50 miles is no joke. I need to know I'm absolutely ready. I want to be as respectful as I can of that distance ... There's a lot to learn. I'm not trying to show up and see if I can survive, I want to race.

So then, what's next?
I want to have a big summer next summer, race the TransRockies again, go up to Colorado a lot to race. In the springtime I want to get the best training in my life in. If I have to sit tight right now, I will. I know right now I need to be patient. Get recovered, and look ahead.

I just want to be competitive. You know, a lot of trail runners say they love trail running because they like being one with the trails. This is like my religion ... When I'm talking about racing, I just want to beat people. I just want to find races where the competition is really good. Over the three-day race in Germany, I won by 45 seconds. It was a battle and that's what I like. I want to squeeze everything out of my body. I was second at the Imogene Pass Run behind Tim Parr in September. I'm coming to that thing next year. I just want to find competition. There's a deep personal part of it for me: A race, to me, is a race.

Reminder of last post dates for Christmas cards

Reminder about last posting dates

Reminder about last posting dates

Royal Mail has introduced a special postmark to remind people of the last posting dates for the Christmas cards.

The launch of the postmark marks just eight days until the last posting date for First Class mail – Wednesday December 21.

Royal Mail has been planning its festive operations since April and is preparing to handle millions of items a day in the run up to the big day.

As Christmas Day fast approaches, the postmark acts as another reminder for consumers to put their presents and cards in the post in enough time for them to arrive before the big day.

For those items being sent to Europe recommended posting dates for International Standard are:

The recommended last posting dates for UK Christmas delivery are:

- Second Class – Tuesday 20 December

- First Class - Wednesday 21 December

- Special Delivery – Thursday 22 December

- Special Delivery Guaranteed – Friday 23 December

The special postmark started to be applied to UK stamped mail yesterday (Monday 13 December). It says ‘It’s Christmas time! Last posting dates, First class: 21 December, Second class: 20 December’.

A spokesman for Royal Mail, said: “We don’t want there to be any disappointed faces on Christmas morning so we are urging consumers to remember the last posting dates and get their presents and cards in the post early.”

Boca man credits medical marijuana for his health

November 20, 2006

Eliot Kleinberg, Palm Beach Post

On Monday, Irvin Rosenfeld started his 25th year of smoking nearly a dozen joints a day. Getting busted is the least of his problems. His more than 200 bone tumors were supposed to continue to grow until they left him paralyzed or caused a clot to break loose and kill him. Without his'medicine,' which he's received since 1982, 'I definitely believe that would have happened by now,' the stockbroker with offices in West Palm Beach, Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale said Monday. He is the longest surviving member of a group of 13 people ó eight have since died ó who, as early as the mid-1970s, began receiving marijuana from the federal government. They were given it for ailments ranging from glaucoma to multiple sclerosis to AIDS to the combination of maladies that has affected Rosenfeld, and no one else nationwide, since he was 10. He's the only one of the 13 able to lead an active life. And the tumors have not grown in 32 years. 'I feel fantastic,' Rosenfeld said. A longtime national proponent of controlled medical use of cannabis, Rosenfeld is now writing a book, a combination of autobiography and advocacy. He hopes to have it out by the spring. 'No one asked for a devastating disease so they could use marijuana,' Rosenfeld said. In response to telephone inquiries, the Food and Drug Administration on Monday forwarded an April 2006 press release in which it concluded that 'no sound scientific studies supported medical use' and that FDA-approved alternatives exist. According to the advocacy group Patients Out of Time ó Rosenfeld sits on its board ó 11 states and the District of Columbia have legalized medicinal use, and some three dozen states have allowed limited use, but the Drug Enforcement Administration has remained opposed. In 1982 and 1999, the group says, the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academy of Sciences, found marijuana to be 'moderately well suited for particular conditions.' As a young adult, Rosenfeld bought pot wherever he could. Now the U.S. government grows marijuana on a farm in Mississippi and provides it in cans of 300 cigarettes. Rosenfeld has often said an effective cannabis pill would prevent a lot of hassles, and companies have created marijuana extracts and synthetic components of the drug, but none has been approved for use in the United States. Rosenfeld's book will detail his numerous difficulties. He was arrested while smoking on an Orlando balcony. He was detained while smoking at Walt Disney World. A policeman once pulled a gun on him. He was barred from a Delta flight; the federal government later ruled Delta was wrong but declined to penalize the airline. He was disqualified from a Chicago sailing regatta for the disabled because he was 'doping.' And as recently as June, he had to go without pot for four days when the Bahamian government wouldn't let him bring it to a weekend seminar. It was his longest stretch since a similar predicament in Canada in 1990. 'For the first 18 hours I did remarkably well,' Rosenfeld said. 'By the 36th hour I was hurting. I started popping pills; pain and muscle relaxant.'

I am looking at privilege boats and was wondering how your boat is going? Likes dislikes .Likely projects to expect when purchasing an older privilege 45? Any design changes you made to any of the systems aboard?
Thanks Joe

Re: Privilege 45 for offshore cruising?

Cats are almost always better at anchor but there is a particular set of wind wave conditions that can produce a small but rapid pitch roll movement that is quite disconcerting. It is almost always possible to 'tune' this out by taking a line from the stern to the anchor chain releasing the bridle from the opposite side and winching in on the line untill you are head to the swell.

Re: Privilege 45 for offshore cruising?

I own a 1995 Privilege 45 that I purchased two years ago. I've done a number of projects on her and am quite intimate with the systems, design and construction. I can tell you that, having looked at and sailed quite a few cats before purchasing the P45, IMHO the Privilege line is one of the best built production boats on the water. They are a very stable platform while underway or at anchor.

I'd be happy to talk with you about what I've learned since owning this boat if you'd like to forward your contact information.

Re: Privilege 45 for offshore cruising?

We sailed our mono (Moody 46) about 27,000nm from 2008 to summer 2011. We changed to a Lagoon 440 last summer and have put about 3,800nm on her including 1,500nm to weather.
I looked at the Privilege and they are nice well built boats. In terms of being an "offshore" boat people read way too much into that. These production cats are all built a bit on the cheap side but are all worthy of crossing oceans, in fact they all do. Passagemaking is more about how you manage the weather and seas, i.e., how you sail. The boat will rarely be the weak link. This, all assuming you are not sailing high latitudes, that's a different animal (and boat).

Every boat of course has pro/con. I like the Lagoon for the inside vis as at night and in bad weather I am comfortable inside (we have a steering and nav station inside). No different from being in the pilot house of a motor vessel other then I have to go out every few hours to check sail/rig for any issue. The high boom is pretty much a non-issue and allows for great sailing from the viewpoint of the flybridge. I love it!

Bottom line, if you found a Privilege you like for the right price buy it. For live-aboard the cat's are very hard to beat. The Privilege is a bit more expensive then many but the wood-work shows it. Other production cats in that size to look at are the Lagoons, Leopards (Robertson and Caine), and the Anteries (or older PDQ), and Manta's. Avoid those out of charter unless you are prepared to do a major re-fit.

Any of these cats (assuming you have done survey etc.) will take you around the globe via the normal trade wind routes safer and faster then most cruising mono's, and you will be the one not rolling at anchor!

A catamaran is in my 5-year plan as we will sell the house at some point, retire, and begin our cruising adventure. When my wife stepped onto a Lagoon 42 at the Annapolis boat show last October, she said "I could live on this!" Really...who couldn't? My wife has never sailed on a catamaran before but I am working on getting her out for a daysail on a new acquaintance's cat. There is a huge difference in how they handle vs. a monohull and I want my wife to experience it. I chartered a Robertson and Caine 45' cat in the BVI a few years ago and absolutely loved it!

I am just beginning my research and keeping a pulse on the catamaran market. When I find the right boat, my plan will be to charter the same make/model for at least a week to see if it is the right boat to purchase. A wise friend of mine once said to me "I am not telling you what to do...I am telling you what I am doing!" Best of luck to you!

Re: Privilege 45 for offshore cruising?

biggest drawback to me on the 45 style is the lack of vis from the saloon. deal breaker for me. not only for living on the hook but moving in nasty weather, i can drive from the saloon w/AP remote.

Re: Privilege 45 for offshore cruising?

I've had a PRIVILEGE 39 1991 for the last few years.

I used to take it out day sailing out of Brunswick Ga when I first got it to get experience. Best wind was 25 knots solo, it does great and is manageable. The boat is easy to sail and control.

I brought it around from Punta Gorda, Fl to Jacksonville last month. I wanted to get through the Keys by a Friday afternoon and the seas were 8-10 ft. NEVER again will l push the boat motoring into those or bigger seas. It sounds like a sledge hammer on the bottom. I have a hatch in the cabin that goes down in case the boat ever capsized and I found that is NOT watertight. Another thing added to my list to fix.

I've done one bottom painting and the boat is in pretty good shape. I found a surplus hatch a couple of years ago and we are replacing those one at a time, putting in solar vent fans etc.

The boat is easy to sail and has a decent reputation about being able to take it.

I looked at some of EXIT ONLY's videos on their circumnavigation before I bought this boat. Dave can probably answer any questions you have.

Re: Privilege 45 for offshore cruising?

I've never sailed a cat, so MHO may be worthless, but I have done some reading.
1) Slamming: cats can, depending on the hight of the bridge. Just slow down. Since a cat can't heel to release energy, it's converted to speed. When you can't stand there because it's accelerating from 10 to 20 it's time to reef. Big cat sailing in a gale-Awesome waves, and sail control.avi - YouTube

2) gimbaled stoves: You'll also won't find cup holders. Unnecessary. MULTIHULLS: 1995 Privilege 45' Catamaran For Sale: VELERO - YouTube

3) Maintenance. A x length cat has 1.5 times the storeage of a x length mono. So I assume the maintenance is also 1.5 the corresponding mono. Docking is a different matter, you take up two slips or must be on the end.

4) Cats don't rock. Sounds like "land sickness" in "Water World."

5) Handling. Cats come in 3 variations, 1-2 wheels rear outside (Priv45, good visibility to dock, wetter steering.) Inside cabin and outside, not so much. I assume you get use to it, like changing from a sports car to a RV.

I suggest renting out one for a trip or day sale before deciding mono/cat.

Privilege 45 for offshore cruising?

Hi everyone,

no experience at all with multihulls but I'm toying with the idea of considering seriously a Privilege 45 (1995 model). Does anyone have any experience with them in the context of blue water cruising? There seem to be a bunch of articles suggesting that cats slam worryingly during passages, how does the P45 score in that regard? Other comments about its suitability for this type of use?

Any known weak areas that I should pay attention to while inspecting the boat?

Any other cat in the same price bracket and size that you think may be more suitable? I'm just starting the investigation on the Privilege because I think I prefer the layout more, but there may be more important considerations to weigh in.

I thought it was interesting that the stove on all Privileges that I looked at, were not gimbaled! Is that common on cats? Obviously they don't heal, but what about passage making in heavy seas?

Is single-handing possible, and docking with just the wife assisting?

Average annual maintenance costs when cruising (assuming no deferred maintenance) for a cat of that size? How limiting is your cat when mooring, and do you typically have to pay extra because of beam (how much roughly)?

There are some rumors going around the monohull community that cats rock weirdly, making some people very seasick, is there any truth there or is it just old wife's tales?

Last but not least, any recommendations on how to build skills for transiting from monohulls to cats (i.e. handling differences, heavy weather tactics, etc..)? I'm not very experienced in monohulls either anyway.

Many thanks guys, and apologies for being all over the place with these questions.

North Korean leader hosts senior Chinese officials

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and his son and heir-apparent Kim Jong Un pledged to keep ties with China close as they staged a dinner party for a visiting delegation of senior Chinese officials to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a treaty of friendship.

Kim Jong Il told the Chinese delegation, headed by Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang, that close relations will stay "unchanged no matter how much water flows under the bridge and no matter how frequently a generation is replaced by another," according to a statement from the North's official Korean Central News Agency released late Tuesday night after the dinner party.

Zhang was said to have praised Kim's efforts to boost cooperative ties and promised that Beijing will push forward on the wide-ranging agreements reached by the two countries' leaders.

Kim Jong Il made a surprise visit to China in May, and the countries have broken ground on the initial stages of a pair of joint economic development zones.

Earlier footage from Associated Press Television News in North Korea's capital, Pyongyang, showed Zhang greeting Kim Yong Nam, the head of the North's parliament, and later touring Kim Il Sung University and its computer library.

Zhang arrived in Pyongyang on Sunday and was due to leave Wednesday.

The countries fought together in the 1950-53 Korean War, and China remains North Korea's most important ally.
