InternationalSurf BoardBuilder HOFSue DeWerff

"Just more than 50 years ago, Satellite Beachs PeteDooley landed a part time job shaping surfboardsas a way to earn money to attend college.

His plan was to get an education but the degree heinitially sought ended up changing after learning the artof shaping surfboards. His decision to use his earningsto pool together with several friends back in 1968 tomanufacture and sell surfboard designs ended up be-coming a lifelong career and a journey that has sinceled him to international fame in the industry.

Dooley, now 66, the co-founder of Natural Art surf-boards, originated in 1971, has created custom surf-boards that have been ridden by both world class surfersand recreational surfers internationally. The companynow has a production factory in Brazil as well as theU.S.

Dooley has traveled around the world and been a partof a design team that once manufactured more than5,000 surfboards a year during the 1980s in an erawhen short boards were just beginning to evolve. His

mission has always been tobring a sport he is passion-ate about along with na-ture and art together. Andhe certainly has accom-plished that according tohis peers.

But for Dooley, hismost recent accomplish-ment as a 2015 inducteeinto the InternationalSurfboard Builders Hallof Fame earlier thismonth is one he admitsis one of the highlightsof his career.

The event, now inits 15th year, washeld at Doheny StateBeach near DanaPoint, California, onDec. 5. Founded in

2000 by Bob TheGreek Bolen and Mike Ester, two Huntington Beach,California, surfboard shapers; seven craftsmen werehonored this year for their contributions to the surfboardshaping industry.

Yup. when she realized Ididn't even have Netflix...

Afrail old man went to live with his son, daugh-ter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was

blurred, and his step faltered.The family ate together at the table. But the elderly

grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eat-ing difficult.. Peas rolled off hisspoon onto the floor.

When he grasped the glass, milkspilled on the tablecloth. The son anddaughter-in-law became irritatedwith the mess.

'We must do something about fa-ther,' said the son. 'I've had enoughof his spilled milk, noisy eating, andfood on the floor.'

So the husband and wife set a smalltable in the corner.

There, Grandfather ate alone while the restof the family enjoyed dinner.

Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, hisfood was served in a wooden bowl.

When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction,sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone.

Still, the only words the couple had for him weresharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilledfood. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.

One evening before supper, the father noticed hisson playing with wood scraps on the floor. Heasked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?'Just as sweetly, the boy responded, 'Oh, I am mak-ing a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your foodin when I grow up. '

The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.The words so struck the parents so that they were

speechless. Then tears started to stream down theircheeks.. Though no word was spoken, both knewwhat must be done.

That evening the husband took Grandfather'shand and gently led him back to the family table.

For the remainder of his days he ate every mealwith the family. And for some reason,neither husbandnor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork wasdropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter whathappens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, andit will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person bythe way he/she handles four things: a rainy day,theelderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas treelights.

I've learned that making a 'living' is not the samething as making a 'life.'

I've learned that life some-times gives you a secondchance.

I've learned that youshouldn't go through life

with a catcher's mitt onboth hands.You need to be

able to throw something backsometimes.

I've learned that if you pursue hap-piness, it will elude you.

But, if you focus on your family, your friends, theneeds of others, your work and doing the very bestyou can, happiness will find you.

I've learned that whenever I decide something withan open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don'thave to be one.

I've learned that every day, you should reach outand touch someone.

People love that human touch -- holding hands, awarm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.I've learned that you should pass this on to everyone

you care about. I just did!

This year, the 101st Anniver-sary of the apparition of theVirgin of Fatima was celebrated:

"Hail Mary,full of grace.The Lord iswith thee.Blessed art thouamong womenand blessed isthe fruit of thywomb, Jesus.

Holy Mary,Mother of God,pray for us sin-ners, now andat the hour of our death, Amen.(your request)

When you are down to nothing,God is up to something.

As I was just coming home and wor-rying about all the stuff going on inmy life, my family's lives, myfriends lives, and what's happening inWashington, Moscow, Ukraine, the MiddleEast, Hillary Clinton's scandals, Jeb, Trump,Fox News, the downgrading of our military,the terrorists infiltrating our border, the ille-gals, the refugees, and how our country israpidly losing its sanity and its Christianity,

I saw a yard sign that said: NEED HELP? CALL JESUS 1-800-555-0000

Out of curiosity and desperation, I calledthe number.

An undocumented gentleman showed upwith landscape equipment.

New Visitor Info Sign at

HB Pier AttractsAttention

Visit Huntington Beach re-cently installed excitingnew easy-to-read VisitorInfo signs around their kiosk at

the HB Pier. It fits perfectly withthe beach theme at Duke's and thesurrounding area. Home RunMedia Co-Owner AntoinetteBrenden designed it usingPolyurethane, so it would hold upbetter than wood in the weather."We sandblasted the Polyurethaneto get the wood look on the 12foot wide sign," she said. The Vis-itors Bureau selected the final de-sign from several that Antoinetteand her husband, Patrick, pre-sented them.

"The Visit HB Kiosk is so veryimportant to help direct touristsand locals to all that our city hasto offer," said Patrick Brenden,chairman of the HB Chamber ofCommerce.

Kevin Keller, Visit HB Informa-tion Kiosk Coordinator, said, "Peo-ple really love the new sign. It'seasy to read and features the 'i'symbol, which is international forinformation. It makes tourists andlocals more aware of our presenceand know where to go for informa-tion. You can see it up the streetand down the Pier. It has a rough

wood background like a modernBeach Hut." Kevin said the kioskin 2015 has helped about 74,000people, who want to know where

to eat, stay and shop in HB.Susan Welfringer, HB's Down-

town Business Improvement Dis-trict Manager, loves the new sign,especially the "i" icon, which isrecognized by all visitors of allages and languages.

Garth Axelrod from Munich,Germany agrees. "We knew rightwhere to go to ask where the bestfine dining was," said Axelrod,visiting HB for the first time withhis family of 5. "Kevin was veryfriendly and gave us severalchoices. He asked us questions tofind out just what we reallywanted and gave us his recom-mendations. For us, he's really theface of HB!"

to have been chosen for this award, said Dooley, now a consultant for Natural Artwho still designs shortboard shapes. The company, which began selling the brand inHatteras, North Carolina, at a shop there that still exists and once had a location near16th St. in Cocoa Beach in the 1980s thru the 1990s, was one of the first to add epoxyboards and FCS fins to their line.

Dooley was nominated for the honor by last years inductee, Melbourne Beachlongtime shaper, Bud Gardner. Prior to 2014, only shapers hailing from the westcoast were chosen for the honor.

Members are nominated by a prior years member and the event is held annually.We are hoping to build a representation going forward of East Coast shapers for

this award, said Dooley, who has nominated fellow shaper, friend and former co-worker/employee, East Coast legend and former pro surfing icon, Greg Loher to the2016 list of inductees.

Past inductees include internationally known greats Dewey Weber, Greg Noll,Duke Kahanamoku, Hobie Alter, all along with more than 30 others.

EDITORIAL

As California leaders headto Paris this week for theWorld Climate Summit(COP 21), Poseidon Water re-cently announced its proposedseawater desalination plant inHuntington Beach will be the na-tions first large-scale desalinationfacility to be 100 percent carbonneutral.

California has shown unprece-dented leadership in addressingclimate change, both by govern-ment policy and private invest-ment, said Scott Maloni,Poseidon Vice President. We areproud to be a part of this effort.Our desalination technology andgreenhouse gas reduction planwill not only help communitiesbecome water independent andless susceptible to drought, butwill do so in an energy efficientand environmentally responsibleway.

This project is exciting newsfor more employment opportuni-ties in Southern California andpresents a responsible way to se-cure and insure our states watersupply in the face of climatechange and during futuredroughts, said Senator Kevin deLen, President pro Tempore ofthe California State Senate. Po-seidons resolutecommitment tooffset all carbonemissions showshow companiescan really growthis economywhile at the sametime protectingour environmentand the air webreathe.

The announce-ment comes on theheels of the recently completed 50million gallon per a day desalina-tion facility in Carlsbad, whichwill officially open before the endof the December. To date, theCarlsbad facility is the nationslargest, most technologically ad-vanced and energy-efficient de-salination plant.

Poseidons reverse osmosisprocess does not emit greenhouse

gases. In addition, the companysEnergy Minimization and Green-house Gas Reduction Plan (GHGPlan) commits to offsetting100% of the Huntington Beach fa-cilitys direct emissions from con-struction prior to the plantscommercial operation, and thenon a yearly basis Poseidon willzero out the indirect emissions as-sociated with the purchase of elec-tricity to operate the plant.

When complete, the HuntingtonBeach Desalination Project willprovide Orange County with 50million gallons of fresh drinkingwater per day from the PacificOcean, matching the companysCarlsbad plant as the largest sea-water desalination plant in theWestern Hemisphere.

The energy used to desalinateseawater comes from the electricalgrid, which is fed by power plantsthat may create GHG emissions.Due to this, Poseidon has offeredto voluntarily commit to offsettingthe indirect GHG emissions asso-ciated with the Projects purchaseof electricity even though it is notrequired by law.

The GHG Plan outlines Posei-dons approach to avoid, reduce,and mitigate emissions from theconstruction and operation of the

proposed Huntington Beach De-salination Project. Since offsettingindirect GHG emissions is an on-going process dependent on dy-namic information, the planestablishes a protocol for identify-ing, securing, monitoring and up-dating measures each year toeliminate the Projects carbonfootprint.

Poseidon will calculate the pro-

jects gross indirect GHG emis-sions by multiplying its electricityuse by the emissions factor as-signed to Southern California Edi-son. Poseidon will then offset itsindirect emissions through thepurchase of Climate ReserveTonnes (CRTs) and carbon offsets,and Renewable Energy Credits(RECs) or the investment in proj-ects that offset carbon emission(e.g. reforestation).

Poseidon will also implementstate-of-the-art desalination andenergy recovery technologies tominimize energy consumption.One such feature is the use of astate-of-the art pressure ex-changer-based energy recoverysystem that allows recovery andreuse of over 40% of the energyassociated with the reverse osmo-sis (RO) process. The HuntingtonBeach project will also recoverapproximately 2,100 tons of CO2annually from the reverse osmosispurification process and reuse thatCO2 during the post-treatmentprocess.

Poseidon Water specializes indeveloping and financing waterinfrastructure projects, primarilyseawater desalination and watertreatment plants in an environ-mentally sensitive manner. These

projects are implemented throughinnovative public-private partner-ships in which private enterpriseassumes the developmental and fi-nancial risks. For more informa-tion on Poseidon Water and theHuntington Beach desalination fa-cility, visithttp://HBfreshwater.com.This article was released by Po-

seidon Water.

Top Legislative Leaders SupportHuntington Beach Desal Project

Huntington Beach, CASenate President proTempore Kevin de Len(D-Los Angeles) and As-sembly Speaker ToniAtkins (D-San Diego) ex-pressed their strong sup-port for the pendingHuntington Beach desali-nation project and calledfor the Coastal Commis-sion staff to move for-ward with a publichearing on the projectspermit application.

An Interview with Shirley Dettloff

1. Greatest single accomplishment of Amigos:The Amigos greatest single accomplishment was

saving all of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands againsttremendous odds.

2. One goal in the next 5 years.To ensure that the wetlands continue to function

at the highest level and that restoration continues.

3. Five people who have made the most significantcontributions through Amigos.

This is an impossible question to answer as ittook a village to accomplish our goal and itwould be a disservice to those who are not men-tioned who did so very much to make sure that weaccomplished our goal. There were elected offi-cials, agency representatives, but it was the workof the ordinary Amigos who accomplished extraor-dinary results.

4. Greatest obstacle to the Amigos Goals.The many layers of governmental bureaucracy

that had to be overcome with many of the decisionsbased on political reasons and not scientific evi-dence.

5. Most significant outside influences on Amigossuccess.

Probably the most significant outside influenceswere the many agency people who in doing theirresearch came to believe in our mission and didoutstanding scientific work to justify saving this in-valuable resource. Our story was so appealing thatfor many years it was one of the top 20 stories inboth the L.A. Times and the Register.

Its time for our annual predictions of themost notable sports business stories to fol-low in 2016.For the second

year in a row I hit mostly winners last year, with onenotable, embarrassing exception. The winners in-cluded high expectations for Rob Manfred in his roleas the new baseball commissioner; the evolving wayswe consume sports, in-venue and outside the facility;the expanding use of analytics which has revolution-ized how we watch and analyze sports; the pursuit bystates, notably New Jersey, to adopt sports gambling;how social media expands the opportunities for fans toengage with teams, players and sponsors; and the eco-nomic impact of NCAA rule changes on intercollegiateathletics.

I also predicted that the Red Sox wouldnt finish lastin the American League East for the second year in arow. Talk about laying an egg! This year Ill leave thefinal baseball predictions to others. In no particularorder, here are the biggest stories Ill be watching thisyear.

The Collective Bargaining Agreement betweenMajor League Baseball and the MLB Players Associ-ation is set to expire on December 1. This used to be big news, back in the daywhen the expiration of the CBA was guaranteed to lead to a lockout or a strike.After suffering through eight work stoppages in 22 years, MLB is now the posterchild for labor peace. While significant differences exist on a number of issues, Ianticipate the announcement of an agreement in advance of the deadline.

If you think the concussion story has played itself out, think again. Its an issuethat isnt going away, at least not anytime soon. The new movie Concussion is ex-pected to be a box-office smash. It will also fuel the controversy surrounding Amer-icas favorite sport. Although the NFL isnt alone when the medical community

raises the issue of concussions, the publics insatiable appetite with all things footballshines a spotlight on the sport at all levels.

Sticking with the NFL, the boardroommachinations leading up to the decisiongranting a team or teams access to theLos Angeles market will be must view-ing. Will the winner be St. Louis, led byStan Kroenke and his single-team sta-dium plan? Or will San Diego and Oak-land, with their dual-stadium proposal,pack up the moving vans?

Another story that bears watching thisyear is the continuing saga of daily fan-tasy games. A number of states haveruled that daily fantasy games constitutegambling. That conclusion is hardly sur-prising to objective observers. The activ-ity was specifically exempted from theUnlawful Internet Gambling Enforce-ment Act of 2006 precisely because with-out an exemption, daily fantasy gamescouldnt have gained traction.

There you have it, my predictions ofthe biggest sports business stories of

2016. Check back in 12 months to see how clairvoyant I am.

Garden Grove 1950s

You Yellow Bellied...Norman Tucker is sharing this tidbit..."Commonly found in trop-ical waters, the snake lives itsentire life at sea and reportedly congre-gates in groups of thousands.

Like the last one found in October,the sea snake was dead by the time avolunteer had found it. It was unclearwhether it was alive when it initiallywashed up on the beach.

It is believed that because of El Nioand climate change, the waters closer toshore are warmer than they should be, andthe snake came searching for eels and fish,which it paralyzes using its potent venom.

The species can stay underwater for up tothree hours, and has the ability to swim bothbackward and forward.

An extremely venomous yellow-belliedsnake, only documented to have washedashore in California twice before, wasfound dead on in Huntington Beach Thurs-day, the Surfrider Foundation said.

Initial sightings of the toxic snake hap-pened back in October on SilverstrandBeach in Oxnard, CA.

Who says mothers aren't powerful?Esther Carlstone (mom.me) tells us about: HANNAH DAVIS

Hannah Davis (1784-1863) was a successful entrepreneur andone of the first documented female inventors. Born and raised inJaffrey, New Hampshire, the unmarried Davis was forced to sup-port herself after the death of her parents. Davis was an experi-enced woodworker, a craft she had learned from her father. Shebegan a cottage business designing bandboxes covered in popularwallpaper patterns. Controlling the entire process, Davis selectedand supervised the cutting of the lumber for the boxes and in-vented a foot-powered machine to cut the strips of wood neededfor their construction. Daviss successful business and marketingplan became a model in her time for women entrepreneurs.

The year 2015 hasbeen one of the mostchallenging on record

for Californiaswater purveyors.The state has en-tered its fourthconsecutive yearof mega drought,prompting the Cal-

ifornia State Water Resources Control Board to issuewater conservation mandatesthe first time ever.

Each city and water district has its own conservationgoal (as compared to 2013) because some had beenconserving while others hadnt.

Huntington Beachresidents and busi-nesses rose to the occa-sion and surpassed thecity target of 20 per-cent with an actual re-duced consumption of25.1 percent.

Groundwater relia-bility during this his-toric drought was duein part to the manner inwhich OCWD hasbeen managing thislocal resource for morethan 80 years. Most importantly in 2015, the Ground-water Replenishment System (GWRS) Initial Expan-sion came online to provide an additional 30 milliongallons of water per day (MGD) to the basin. This isenough water for 850,000 people.

The $142 million initial expansion not only in-

creases output to 100 MGD, it also decreases depend-ence on costly imported water, uses less energy re-quired to transport imported water, provides reliabilityin an area plagued by cyclical droughts, and protects

the environment by de-creasing the amount ofwastewater in our oceanand reusing a precious re-source.

In 2015, the District alsolaunched a new website(www.ocwd.com). Trans-parency and accountabilityare imperative to achiev-ing its mission to providea reliable, high qualitywater supply in a cost-ef-fective and environmen-

tally responsible manner. The new website includesextensive documents and information that address

OCWDs motiva-tions for its managementpractices and decisions.

The New Year has started with hope and promise.We all look forward, with trepidation, to El Nioand the rain it could bring. If it does rain heavily,it will make significant impact on OrangeCounty as the District can capture much of therainwater in its groundwater basin. OCWD hasalso partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of En-gineers to capture additional stormwater behindPrado Dam.

In 2016, OCWD will also unveil new educa-tional programs for Orange County adults andchildren and offer a well-established programonce more. The Childrens Water Education Fes-

tival celebrates its 20th anniversary. The Festival in-structs more than 7,000 Orange County elementaryschool students each year about water and the environ-ment. The O.C. Water Hero Program, which debutedin 2007, helps children champion water conservationand is undergoing an extensive addition to including asmartphone application.

Every year, OCWD hosts more than 4,000 guests fortours of its facilities. This coming year, guests will re-ceive a heightened experience as the OCWD corridorhas been transformed into an educational center thatwill be incorporated in each tour. Those of you whohave taken a tour in the past, might want to sign-upagain as the new corridor features videos and hands-on experiences. Contact Coordinator Becky Mudd([email protected]) to make your reservation.

Preparing for the2016 Water Year

Cathy Green was elected to OCWD in November 2010. She served two terms on the Huntington BeachCity Council and was Mayor twice. Huntington Beach has been home to the Green Family over 41 years

Dear EarthTalk:How are border-

lands causing wide-spread environmental

damage while splintering families and communitiesacross the U.S. Southwest? -- Peter Jackson, Bal-timore, MD

Today, over 650 miles of border walls and barriershave been constructed in all four southern BorderStates: California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.The Sierra Club Borderlands campaign has spoken upagainst the substantialborder wall construc-tion, arguing that it hashad dire consequencesfor vast expanses ofpristine wild lands, in-cluding wildliferefuges, wildernessareas and national for-est lands, among otherareas. Additionally,several species ofwildlife have been ob-served and pho-tographed stranded bythe border wall, thegroup states, suggest-ing that many threat-ened and endangeredspecies are sufferingfrom border wall development as well.

In their short films, Wild Versus Wall and TooMany Tracks, the Sierra Club describes how the sig-nificance of the borderlandsa vast and ecologicallydistinct region with a multitude of mountain ranges,two of North Americas four deserts and major riverecosystemshas been ignored by current U.S. border

policy. The borderlands provide important habitat forrare and threatened wildlife species, including manyfederally-listed threatened and endangered species.But in 2005, Congress passed the REAL ID Act,which included a provision that allows the Secretaryof Homeland Security to waive all local, state andfederal laws, including the Endangered Species Act,deemed an impediment to building walls and roadsalong U.S. borders. Border patrol has now built sta-dium-like lights, roads and towers in sensitive, remoteareas, the Sierra Club says, and the roads fragmentand destroy habitat while high voltage lighting affects

nocturnal animals ability to feed and migrate.Border Patrols off-road driving, tire dragging and

ATV use in designated roadless wilderness has left animmense scar on the landscape, said Dan Millis, bor-derlands program coordinator for the Grand CanyonChapter of the Sierra Club.

The Sierra Club continues to raise awareness on

borderland habitat degradation with the hope that theycan combat further border wall development that maypose harm to the environment and wildlife. In a No-vember 2015 trip to a U.S-Mexico border wall in Bis-bee, Arizona, Millis told Borderlands campaignershow the jaguar is an emblematic species for why thiswall is problematicIts important for wildlife, likethe jaguar, to be able to have access to a range. Thejaguar used to live in the United States, all the wayup to the Grand Canyon the jaguars critical habitathas been established by the U.S. Fish and WildlifeService and it includes areas that are bisected by thesewalls. And thats really problematic if we want to seea very majestic species like the jaguarwere goingto have to these problems like this border wall seri-ously.

Millis also informed the campaigners of severalother ecological issues associated with border devel-opment, including increased erosion, flooding andsoil degradation. Were encouraging Border Patroland Homeland Security to keep this stuff in mind asthey move forward on projects, Millis said. Theyneed to do things in a way that is more sustainable.

William Allen of Two Shepherdsneeds your help. Im a huge fanof William and his wines, so Iwant to help make his plea.

I met William at the 2011 Wine BloggersConference and we immediately hit it off. Passionis hard to fake, a few people can match Williamsfervor for wine.

William was there because he kept a wine

blog at the time (Simple Hedonisms), but hewas really buzzing about the upcoming releaseof his out-of-control garagiste project, TwoShepherds.

About 15 years ago, William started brewingbeer in his garage. Sincehe was in love with wine,he decided to also try hishand at winemaking. The

hobby soonbecame anobsession,so in thesummer of2009, hedecided totake a four-month sab-

batical from his tech jobto move to Sonoma,plant a vineyard, help outwith harvest, and net-work.

At that point, he washooked and knew thathe wanted to share hiswine with the world. Soin 2010, William sourced

enough fruit tomake 175 casesof wine. Theyturned out to be

a hit. His wineshave since been praisedby folks like Jon Bonn, Alder Yarrow (who pro-filed William in 2013) Richard Jennings, andcountless others. Last year, Allen bottled 1,000cases of wine.

A few months ago, William and his partner,wine industry veteran Karen Daenen, decidedto kick things up a notch. With the goal ofgrowing to a 3,000-case winery, they purchaseda video-production warehouse in North Sonomaand turned it into a (almost functional) winerywithin just 3.5 weeks. It will eventually includea tasting room, as well.

Theyre calling the effort to triple in size in thenext five years #EscapeGravity. And throughIndiegogo, theyre trying to raise $25,000 to helptheir efforts.

Since most wine stories these days seem tobe about small wineries being purchased byhuge wine companies, the opportunity to sup-port a small winery taking the next leap comesalong all too rarely. So please help William#EscapeGravity!

David White is the founder and editor of Terroirist.com, which was named Best Overall Wine Blog" at the 2013

Wine Blog Awards. His columns are housed at Grape Collective.

We've all seen "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band ofBrothers," but here's a list of facts from World War II thatyou probably didn't know.

The first German serviceman killed in the war waskilled by the Japanese.

Over 100,000 Allied bomber crewmen were killed overEurope.

More U.S. servicemen died in the Air Corps then theMarine Corps.

Polish Catholic midwife Stanisawa Leszczyska deliv-ered 3,000 babies at the Auschwitz concentration campduring the Holocaust in occupied Poland.

In 1941, more than three million cars were manufac-tured in the United States. Only 139 more were made dur-ing the entire war.

Four of every five German soldiers killed in the war diedon the Eastern Front

Only 20 percent of the males born in the Soviet Unionin 1923 survived the war.

In World War II, the youngest serviceman in the United

States military was Calvin Graham - age 12. Grahamlied about his age when he enlisted in the US Navy. Hisreal age was not discovered until after he was wounded.(Unbelievable)

Only one out of every four men serving on U-boats sur-vived.

The Siege of Stalingrad resulted in more Russiandeaths (military and civilian)than the United States and Britain sustained (com-

bined) in all of World War II.

To avoid using the German sounding name 'ham-burger' during World War II, Americans used the name'Liberty Steak.'

Adolf Hitler's nephew, William Hitler, served in the USNavy during World War II !!!

Adolph Hitler and Henry Ford each kept a framed pic-ture of the other on his desk.

During World War II, the largest Japanese spy ring wasactually located in Mexico.

The mortality rate for POWs in Russian camps was 85percent.

Had it been necessary for a third atom bomb, the citytargeted would have been Tokyo.

An Imperial Japanese Army intelligence officer, whofought in World War II, Hiroo Onoda never surrenderedin 1945. Until 1974, for almost 30 years, he held his posi-tion in the Philippines. His former commander traveledfrom Japan to personally issue orders relieving him fromduty in 1974. (???)

Total casualties for World War II totaled between 50 -70 million people, 80 percent of which came from only fourcountries - Russia, China, Germany and Poland. Over 50percent of the casualties were civilians, with the majorityof those being women and children.

The 8 Top FEMALE RacersDanica Patrick has established herself as the hottest fe-male driver around, but we beg to differ. Below areeight female race drivers who bump Danica out ofthe starting field in the looks department.

But before we begin, for years there have been male racecar drivers whove been considered hunks, studs, hot, dream-boats, or matinee idols, depending upon your age and era. Soit is with no reluctance that weve identified the most beauti-ful women in motorsports. In no way is this gratuitous, asthese are all dedicated, hard-working drivers with clear goalsto advance as far as possible in motorsports. So lets start thecountdown starting with driver number eight

Jessica BartonJessica Barton is a model, an actress, and a serious import

drag racer. Shes not driving some wimpy FWD Civic, but afull-on fire-breathingToyota Supra that pro-duces 1,165 horsepower atthe rear wheels. Her bestrun to date was at the 2011US Army World Cup Fi-nals at Maryland Interna-tional Raceway, where sheset an E.T. of 8.64 and atop speed of 170.88 milesper hour. Sadly, in 2013the Supra was stolen andstripped of any parts ofvalue and hen chopped into pieces. What was left of the carwas recovered along with some personal belongings. Jessicaestimated that shed spent at least $150,000 on the car. Jessicais hoping to recover as much of the car as possible but in themeantime is focusing on her acting and modeling career.

Susie (Stoddard) WolffBorn Susie Stoddard in Oban, Scotland took the same path

as most young drivers do. Shestarted in karts and then into theentry-level Formula Renault sin-gle-seater race series in GreatBritain. She was set to take thenext step up the ladder to For-mula 1 with a ride with a For-mula 3 team the following year.An off-season ankle injuryforced her to miss the season.Amazingly the following seasondidnt find her in the low-pow-ered F3 car but in a hairy 500horsepower tube-frame Mer-cedes in the German Touring CarChampionship (DTM), where

she raced for 6 seasons. In 2012 she was named a develop-mental driver for the Williams Formula 1 team. Sort of amaz-ing for a driver whos never won a race in a car. Oh, I forgetto mention, she married to the boss of the DTM and a majorshareholder of the Williams F1 team?

Claire JedrekClaire Jedrek is a celebrity fitness trainer and television

personalty in her native Singapore. Shebecame interested in motorsports as partof broadcast team covering Formula 1events. She started off in karts and thenmoved into the Malaysian Super Series(MSS) where she drove a Honda FD2in a support race for 2014 MalaysianFormula 1 support race, At seasons endshe finished 7th in points against 36competitors, all men. For 2015 shell re-turn with her Honda FD2 and is trainingboth physically and mentally, spendingat least 1.5 hours per day on a race sim-ulator.

Vicky PiriaVittoria Vicky Piria

was born in Milan, Italy toan Italian Father and aBritish mother. Like somany young drivers Vickystarted in karts at age 10,when she won the regionalchampionship for her class.Se moved up into cars viaFormula Renault and For-

mula Abarth, and Formula 3.Shes now competing in theUS Pro Mazda series.

Madalena AntasHailing from Portugal, Madalena

Antas is the daughter of a famous fe-male race car driver in that country.Madalena compete in Rally-Raidevents, flying across scorching hotsand dunes at the wheel of a Nissan44.

Carmen Jorda

Spanish-born Carmen Jordahas found herself in the middleof a enormous controversythese last few weeks. Shesbeen selected by the LotusFormula 1 team as their desig-nated development driver.Critic claim that decision wasbased more on the money anattractive female might gener-ate than on her driving talent,having never won a race in her10 year motorsports career.

The biggest ouch has to be the comments of a former team-mate who said she couldnt develop a roll of film, much lessa Formula 1 car.

Maryeve DufaultWhen you hear

that Maryeve Du-fault had been votedMiss HawaiianTropic, appeared asa model in ThePrice is Right andhad her own spreadin Maxim, youmight not thinkshes a serious racer,but youd be wrong.She said that whileother models werespending theirmoney on clothes,she was spending it on tire (our kind of girl!) Maryeve startedracing karts in her native Quebec at the age of 8, winning sev-eral championships, before moving up to formula car classes,including Formula BMW USA. Shes switched to stock carsand has made some positive impressions, with a goal of a full-time ride in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series.

Inessa TushkanovaOK, Inessa has posed for Playboy in Eastern Europe. Ok,

Inessa has posed for Playboy several times in Eastern Europe.But shes also a damn good rally driver. Shes won a few ral-lies in Russia, but is now driving in the Finnish Rally Cham-pionship. And if you want to compete against the best, thenFinland is your place, I mean the country has produced driv-ers like Marcus Grnholm, Tommi Mkinen and JuhaKankkunen who, with others, have delivered 13 DriversWorld Rally Championships to Finland. Yep, its the rightplace to learn.

You can check out some of Inessas early rally driving inthe video below. Her speed and car control are as least as im-pressive as her Playboy spreads.

It finally happened. For the firsttime since June of 2006, the Federal Reserve raised thebenchmark Fed Funds rate by 0.25%. Immediatelyafterwards, banks raised the prime lending rateby the same 0.25%. While this increase has adirect impact on certain variable rate prod-ucts such as Home Equity Lines of Credit(HELOCs), this increase in the bench-mark rate has no direct impact on mort-gage rates. As a surprise to many,mortgage rates actually improved slightlyafter the Feds announcement.

Mortgage bonds, or mortgage-backedsecurities (MBS), are traded as futures.The bonds that are traded today are formortgages that will be securitized weeksfrom now. As such, there is much specu-lation that goes into their trading. In otherwords, just the expectation of an event taking placecan be as much of a driving force as the actualevent itself.

The Feds move was not a surprise. Quite the contrary. Thismove had been broadcast well in advance. Just the day prior,markets had the odds at 80% probability that the Fed wouldraise rates. As it turns out, the Fed did exactly what wasexpected. Certainty can be a very good thing for fi-nancial markets. The absence of uncertainty allowstraders to place their bets with more confidence,thereby boosting those financial markets. This isone of the reasons why we saw mortgage rates im-prove after the Feds announcement.

The move also served to strengthen the US Dollar, pro-viding additional leverage to boost mortgage bonds and push mort-

gage rates to thedownside. MBS are traded in US Dollars. A strengthening dollar isgenerally good for mortgage rates as it attracts more investors fromaround the world.

Perhaps most importantly, the Fed exhibited its commitment tokeep mortgage rates low by renewing its policy of rolling over

MBS securities as they reachmaturity, and reinvesting the

principal payments from otheragency holdings. In short, the Fed-

eral Reserve is going to remain ac-commodative and anticipates doing

so until normalization of the federalfunds rate is well under way, according

to Janet Yellens statement following the re-lease of the official Fed minutes.Regulating inflation and GDP are the two pri-

mary objectives of the Federal Reserve. Presently,inflation and GDP both remain

well below the Feds idealrange, giving them license

to remain accommoda-tive for quite some

time still. Thebottom line on all

this is that mortgagerates are likely to re-

main low untilwell into 2016.

Shame On All the Media!You're a 19 year old kid. You arecritically wounded and dyingin the jungle somewhere in the Cen-tral Highlands of Viet Nam.

It's November 11, 1967.LZ (land-ing zone) X-ray. Your unit is out-numbered 8-1 and the enemy fire isso intense from 100 yards away, thatyour CO (commanding officer) hasordered the MedEvac helicopters tostop coming in.

You're lying there, listening to theenemy machine guns and you knowyou're not getting out.

Your family is half way aroundthe world, 12,000 miles away, andyou'll never see them again.

As the world starts to fade in andout, you know this is the day.

Then - over the machine gunnoise - you faintly hear the sound ofa helicopter.

You look up to see a Huey comingin. But.. It doesn't seem real becauseno MedEvac markings are on it.Captain Ed Freeman is coming infor you.

He's not MedEvac so it's not his

job, but he heard the radio call anddecided he's flying his Huey downinto the machine gun fire any-way. Even after the MedEvacswere ordered not to come. He'scoming anyway.

And he drops it in and sits therein the machine gun fire, as theyload 3 of you at a time on board.

Then he flies you up and outthrough the gunfire to the doctorsand nurses and safety.

And,he kept coming back!! 13more times!!

Until all the wounded were out.No one knew until the missionwas over that the Captain hadbeen hit 4 times in the legs andleft arm.

He took 29 of you and yourbuddies out that day. Somewould not have made it withoutthe Captain and his Huey.

Medal of Honor Recipient, Cap-tain Ed Freeman, United States AirForce, died 9-30-15 at the age of 70,in Boise, Idaho. May God Bless andRest His Soul.

I bet you didn't hear about thishero's passing, but we've sure seen

a whole bunch about the cop shoot-ings and inner city protests THEPASSING OF Medal of Honor RE-CIPIENT Captain Ed Freeman.Shame on ALL the media !!!
