Update on the NYPD asshole
Police Commissioner William Bratton on Wednesday said the detective was placed on modified assignment pending an investigation. Bratton, who called the officer’s behavior “unacceptable and discourteous,” said the detective was on duty at the time.
“There’s just no place for any public servant to use discriminatory or negative language,” he said. “Obviously, our police play a particularly sensitive role and need to show respect for all people.”
The findings will be presented to the board, which will make an official determination on whether misconduct was committed, Sachs said. The board will either refer the decision to the NYPD with a disciplinary recommendation, or decide to bring up the officer with administrative charges, with the decision presented to the police commissioner. CNN’s Carolyn Sung contributed to this report.

Update on bicycles stolen from Naval Station San Diego Medical Center
the adaptive bikes are much more than just recreational. They’re therapeutic for many veterans struggling with injuries.
Sandi Lehmkuhler of the Warrior Foundation/Freedom Station says, the theft was heartbreaking. “I don't know how to express this without being really cruel, this is like stealing one of our guy's wheelchairs or their crutches."
“We saw the story on the news and of course it made us angry and sad, and the story ended,” says Joe Getty "...we care about our vets in this country so Americans immediately chipped in and bought them new bikes. And they hardly missed a ride. So that's what we tried to do. I guess the audience felt the same way because we raised the money to replace the bikes (and more) in less than an hour. I'm proud of the KFMB and Armstrong and Getty audience. They did a really good thing today.”
San Diego listeners of the AM760 radio show donated 25 thousand dollars

Curt Schilling offered a reward to anyone that finds and returns the bikes “two tickets and two seats to ANY game in the country for whoever makes this happen… with travel paid.”

Bangshift just did an article on the greatest cheating methods in racing
Some that impressed me,
Wimpy springs that would put the car on the bumpstops for the race and change the cars rake affecting the air dams position relative to the air flow over the car
someone in the stangs with a garage door opener remote that activated a mobile weight in the car that would move from one side to the other to increase traction in the inside of the turns
Smashing the race vehicle into the wall to make it narrower
Filling in a radio with lead to get the car up to weight
filling the frame with Mercury and having a transfer system so the car was level weight during tech, but all left bias during the race
James wrote in with a very vague "How bout the ole’ “nitrous system in the hood” trick. Leave the entire system mounted to the inside of the hood and use the hood pins to supply power and ground. Or a certain big name NASCAR team using seven cylinders of an eight cylinder engine on the restrictor plate tracks. They’d use the “unused” cylinder as an airpump to supply air to the remaining seven cylinders."
Tim Richmond’s team using a helmet filled with lead to go through tech and “forgetting it” in the hauler just before a race when a crew member would run back to get a real, lighter one was pretty clever.
Mopar super stock teams in the sixties would weigh the car with water filled tires and change tires before and after the race.
One NHRA drag racer was caught red handed with a small bottle of Nitrous Oxide http://www.caranddriver.com/features/blowup-feature in 1997

1971 Challenger
there were only 250 with a 440 6 pack, no 440 4 barrels were installed in 1971 Challengers
Challenger Deputy was the base model, and came with engines from the 198 to the 383
The low priced Challenger Deputy (Option Code A93) was a mid-year introduction (March 1970) and continued until the end of 1971 model production.
This version of the Challenger was unique in several ways.
The car was similar to the base Challenger hardtop with the following exceptions ;
The rear quarter windows were fixed in place by leaving out the regulator and bolting the track.
The rear window winder was deleted and the hole plugged with a chrome button.
The standard engine was the 198 6 cyl. with the 225, 318 and 383 (2v and 4v) optional.
The seats were the cheaper standard Plymouth Barracuda seats in black or white only.
The steering wheel is coachman grain like the Barracuda.
Things like dual horns, cigar lighter and night/day rear mirror were optional.
There are only six Deputys known to have been built with the 383 4bbl engine.
Three with automatics and three with 4-speeds

Speed and big damn engines... the focus of the Hydroplane and Raceboats Museum
From the days of $300 Allison engines, river races, and buddies who could field a competitive enterprise for weekend fun without going broke
You can check out the post at http://www.ewillys.com/2015/04/01/hyrdroplane-and-raceboat-museum/#more-201484 or if you want to dive into more about the boats, see http://www.lesliefield.com/default_frame.htm and click on the upper left link twice to get to the individual boats.
Or watch the movie "Madison" which was really good and starred Jim Caviezel and Bruce Dern. Story of a Indiana town that owned a hydroplane, and once was a significant part of Hydroplane racing history. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0206113/
NYPD. Do they have a hiring policy that you have to be an unprofessional asshole? This jackass power tripped when he was at fault for parking without using his turn signal to let the traffic behind him know his intentions
For those of you that back the blue regardless, swell. Me? I believe cops are just assholes that sought out the best possible job for their pathological bully tendencies. Once in, they are immune from public criticism and ignorant of professional behavior.
Update April 1st 2015: (CNN) — A New York police detective assigned to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force with top-secret security clearance has been placed on modified assignment, and faces suspension, reassignment or loss of his clearance after an incident with an Uber driver Monday that was captured on video, officials said.
Police Commissioner William Bratton on Wednesday said the detective was placed on modified assignment pending an investigation.
Bratton, who called the officer’s behavior “unacceptable and discourteous,” said the detective was on duty at the time.
“There’s just no place for any public servant to use discriminatory or negative language,” he said. “Obviously, our police play a particularly sensitive role and need to show respect for all people.”

Except for Maine State Trooper Stephan Murray. The only great cop I've ever admired for his professionalism
