PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) ? The press bus took a wrong turn Thursday. And suddenly, everything changed in the official showcase of North Korean achievement.
A cloud of brown dust swirled down deeply potholed streets, past concrete apartment buildings crumbling at the edges. Old people trudged along the sidewalk, some with handmade backpacks crafted from canvas bags. Two men in wheelchairs waited at a bus stop. There were stores with no lights, and side roads so battered they were more dirt than pavement.
"Perhaps this is an incorrect road?" mumbled one of the North Korean minders, well-dressed government officials who restrict reporters to meticulously staged presentations that inevitably center on praise for the three generations of Kim family who have ruled this country since 1948.
So as cameras madly clicked, the drivers of the three buses quickly backed up in the narrow streets and headed back toward the intended destination: a spotlessly clean, brightly-lit, extensively marbled and nearly empty building that preserves digital music recordings and makes DVDs.
It was at the Hana Music Information Center, a guide told the reporters, where North Korea's longtime leader, Kim Jong Il, made one of his last public appearances before his December death.
"I hope that the journalists present here report only the absolute truth," said Ri Jinju, her voice trembling with emotion, her flowing hair frozen with hairspray. "The truth about how much our people miss our comrade Kim Jong Il, and how strong the unity is between the people and leadership, who are vigorously carrying out the leaders' instructions to build a great, prosperous and powerful nation."
In North Korea, it's hard to know what's real. Certainly, you can't go looking for it.
Anyone who leaves the press tour, or who walks from the few hotels where foreigners are allowed, can be detained by the police and even threatened with expulsion.
But even in such a controlled environment, reality asserts itself.
Is reality the cluster of tall buildings within view of the main foreigners' hotel, where long strings of bright, colored lights are switched on when the sun goes down, illuminating entire blocks like some gargantuan Christmas decoration? Or is it the vast stretches of Pyongyang, by far the most developed city in impoverished North Korea, that go deathly dark at night?
Is the reality along Pyongyang's drab-but-spotless main roads, the only streets that journalists normally see, with their revolutionary posters urging North Koreans to struggle toward a Stalinist paradise? Or is reality on the streets near the music center?
"They've left very few stones unturned in North Korea," said Anthony Brunello, a professor at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, who has studied totalitarian propaganda methods. He said officials will go to nearly any extreme to create a system that will keep the Kim family in power.
If that means using propaganda that seems insensible to outsiders, few of whom believe the official version of Pyongyang as a communist idyll, it is very logical in Pyongyang. After all, the Kims still hold power.
"They've managed to create a process of control that works," he said.
Most foreign visitors to Pyongyang never encounter a pothole, a traffic jam or a piece of litter larger than a cigarette butt. There see no people with physical disabilities, and no graffiti.
They normally see only the clean streets outside their bus windows, and the showcase buildings ? the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum, the palace commemorating the Kims' "juche" philosophy of self-reliance, the computer labs at Kim Il Sung University ? filled with people that the minders insist are everyday North Koreans.
The students in the classrooms don't glance up as dozens of reporters rumble in, and the professor's lecture continues without pause. The young people in the university pool careen down the plastic slide, in front of TV cameras, as if they are completely alone.
Perhaps they are real students. But look straight into the eyes of these people, and their pupils dance around you like you're not there, as if they've been trained to pretend you are not. Only the official guides, always beautiful women in flowing polyester gowns in ice-cream colors, will talk readily.
Always, those talks center around the Kims: the Great Leader Kim Il Sung; the Great General Kim Jong Il and, since his father's death in December, the Respected General Kim Jong Un.
They speak in relentless, rote hyperbole.
"The more time passes by the more we miss our Dear Leader Kim Jong Il," said Ri, the music center guide. "I don't think we can ever find any person so great."
Behind that robotic facade, though, North Koreans want the same things as just about everyone else; at least, that's what defector after defector has said.
They fight with their wives and worry when their children get fevers. They wage office politics, dream of buying cars and, if they have enough clout, they hope to get away to the beach in the summer. When times are at their worst, as they were when famine savaged the country in the 1990s, they dream of enough food so their children won't starve to death.
It's not clear why the regime hides places like the dusty, potholed neighborhood, which is just a mile or so from the center of town, across the trolley tracks and just off Tongil Street.
It doesn't look like a war zone, or even like a particularly rough New York City neighborhood. Many streets in New Delhi, the capital of one of the world's fastest-growing economies, look far more battered and far poorer.
To most North Koreans, one-quarter of whom depend on international food aid, living in homes without electricity or running water, the neighborhood would look upper-middle-class. Special permits are required to live in the capital city, and life here is vastly better than it is for most people in the countryside.
There are predictable government jobs here, electricity at least a few hours a day, better-stocked stores, schools that have indoor bathrooms.
But the officials still hide the run-down neighborhoods. There's a certain view of North Korea they want visitors to have.
Maybe, though, the regime is opening up. In past years, media minders would order reporters to put down their cameras if they saw something they felt didn't reflect well on North Korea. At times, they would close the curtains on the buses.
But on Thursday, the minders said nothing as the cameras clicked away. The journalists stared. And outside the bus, the North Koreans who never expected to be seen stared back.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Adm. Bill McRaven, the head of U.S. special operations, is mapping out a potential Afghanistan war plan that would replace thousands of U.S. troops with small special operations teams paired with Afghans to help an inexperienced Afghan force withstand a Taliban onslaught as U.S. troops withdraw.
While the overall campaign would still be led by conventional military, the handfuls of special operators would become the leading force to help Afghans secure the large tracts of territory won in more than a decade of U.S. combat. They would give the Afghans practical advice on how to repel attacks, intelligence to help spot the enemy and communications to help call for U.S. air support if overwhelmed by a superior force.
If approved by the administration, the pared-down structure could become the enduring force that Afghan Defense Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak indicated Tuesday at the Pentagon that his country needs, possibly long after the U.S. drawdown date of 2014.
McRaven's proposal amounts to a slimmed-down counterinsurgency strategy aimed at protecting the Afghan population as well as hunting the Taliban and al-Qaida. It's not the counterterrorist plan advanced by Vice President Joe Biden, which would leave Afghan forces to fend for themselves while keeping U.S. special operators in protected bases from which they could hunt terrorists with minimum risk, according to a senior special operations official reached this week.
Thousands of U.S. troops could remain in harm's way well after the end of combat operations in 2014, tasked with helping Afghans protect territory won by U.S. forces.
The special operations proposal was sketched out at special operations headquarters in Tampa, Fla., in mid-February, with Central Command's Gen. James Mattis and overall Afghanistan war commander Gen. John Allen taking part, according to several high-level special operations officials and other U.S. officials involved in the war planning. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the proposal has not yet been presented to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta or the White House.
The Pentagon asked the top officials to draft proposals to present to the White House after NATO allies decide how large a force to keep in Afghanistan, according to a U.S. official familiar with the administration's deliberations.
Leaders of NATO nations are to meet May 20-21 in Chicago to discuss the war, among other issues.
The Pentagon by September will draw down the 23,000 troops that remain from the surge of 33,000 troops sent to Afghanistan in 2010 to buy time for the Afghan military and government to build both the numbers and expertise necessary to defend and govern themselves. Plans for the remaining 68,000 troops in Afghanistan are not yet complete, but most U.S. troops are scheduled to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
Allen, the commander of forces in Afghanistan, has indicated he would like to keep as many troops on the ground for as long as possible. But with a solid majority of Americans now against the continued U.S. presence in Afghanistan and the sped-up departure of some of America's NATO allies from the war zone, the Obama administration is feeling some pressure toward a faster drawdown.
The McRaven plan could provide a way to shrink troop numbers quickly without leaving a security vacuum as U.S. troops depart, as has happened in Afghanistan before when NATO forces left an area.
"This is the least bad option," said retired Marine Col. T.X. Hammes, senior fellow at the National Defense University and longtime critic of the U.S. counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan. "It's probably the smartest thing we could do to keep the Afghan government functioning long enough to safely withdraw."
In the back-of-the-envelope version of the strategy, a couple thousand special operators, like Navy SEALs and the Army's Delta Force, would keep working with Afghan special forces to raid terrorist targets, the senior special operations official explained.
U.S. commanders would seek to keep the same number of defense intelligence troops in country to feed data to the smaller force and would also rely heavily on the CIA for intelligence, while an as-yet-undetermined number of conventional forces would provide everything from air to logistical support to keep all the special operations teams running, officials said.
Some two-thirds of the roughly 6,000-strong special operations force would head to Afghanistan's rural towns and villages to advise inexperienced Afghan forces. This would include expanding the Village Stability Operations program in Afghan villages, in which special operators help what is essentially an Afghan government-backed armed neighborhood watch to keep the peace.
Reliance on the program already had forced it to grow so quickly, however, that U.S. commanders had put regular military forces into some of the sites. That is how Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, a regular soldier with no prior Afghanistan experience, ended up at one of the sites. He stands accused of killing 17 Afghan villagers in a shooting spree last month.
U.S. officials say they will take more care with selecting who gets deployed into such sensitive and remote posts in the future.
The commanders building the new team also would draw heavily from the group known as "Afghan Pakistan hands," the 700-plus force of troops and civilians given months of extra language training in Pashtu, Dari or Urdu, the three main languages of Afghanistan and Pakistan, officials say. Around 50 of the "hands" are deployed to the Village Stability Operations to serve as translators, both of language and culture, between special operations troops, Afghan government officials and local villagers.
The insider knowledge of both the "hands" group and the special operators with multiple Afghan tours is intended to minimize the chance of further antagonizing Afghans and driving them to support the Taliban.
U.S.-Afghan relations have been strained in the past year, exacerbated by the killings of at least 16 U.S. and NATO troops by their Afghan allies in recent months, the inadvertent burnings of Qurans by U.S. troops in January and the shootings of the 17 Afghan villagers. Afghan President Hamid Karzai initially asked that the U.S. retreat from rural areas.

Ankle pain can be of two kinds - chronic ankle pain and acute ankle pain. Acute ankle pain starts suddenly and is mostly brought about by an injury, whereas chronic ankle pain is generally caused by something more serious and usually lasts for a longer period of time, unless treated urgently.
The commonest causes of ankle pain are sprains and stress fractures. Sprains occur when the foot gets twisted for some reason, causing the ankle to roll over and stretching the ligaments way beyond their capacity. Sometimes sprains cause some amount of ligament tears as well. People most susceptible to ankle sprains and the resultant ankle pain are athletes who take part in jerking motions like playing basketball and non-athletes who may lose their balance while wearing high heeled shoes or simply miss their step, especially when walking on an uneven surface.
The other type of common ankle pain is caused by stress fractures. The stress fracture is simply a crack in the ankle joint caused by repeated pressure or stress on the same part of the joint. The stress fracture is not brought about by one sharp injury and is not accompanied by any swelling. Often, jumping on hard surfaces or running in incorrect shoes can cause stress fractures and subsequent ankle pain.
While stress fractures and sprains are the common causes of acute ankle pain, the most common cause of chronic ankle pain are arthritis and gout. Arthritis brings about ankle pain, though accompanied by stiffening and swelling. Gout is caused by the accumulation of uric acid and leads to burning pain that starts suddenly and can be quite debilitating. With gout, the ankle and foot become so tender that even the slightest touch can cause a great deal of pain.
The best thing that you can do if you are struck by ankle pain is to rest the joint. Ankle pain always gets much worse if it is stretched and exercised despite the pain. Keeping the feet in an elevated position also helps to relieve ankle pain. Application of cold compress in the form of ice can also help repress the ankle pain. If the ankle pain is still unbearable, it is always best to consult the doctor regarding ankle pain. The doctor may prescribe tests and investigations like X-rays and MRIs or may prescribe some painkillers to start with. Consult the doctor to heal your ankle pain and lead a healthy life.

Singer/songwriters Kenny Loggins, Gary Burr and Georgia Middleman recently formed the new band Blue Sky Riders, and were profiled by Huff/Post50 in February. They are finishing their first album and will be chronicling their experiences as a band in this blog.
I just got off stage tonight. My voice was shot, allergies were getting the best of me, but it didn't even matter. Kenny, Gary and I played our music in front of 18,000 people, and as I was dancing around the stage, I remembered why I love music so much in the first place: because it makes me feel alive. These are Blue Sky Rider songs, and when I sing them, I feel connected and part of something bigger than myself.
Back in the '70s, an American philosopher named Dr. Howard Thurman once said: "Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Writing and performing music with Kenny and Gary does that for me. This band brings something out in me that I treasure and want to protect more than anything ... my passion.
My pursuit of "passion" has gotten me into trouble a time or two in the past, no doubt. But I believe that when you deny yourself the right to feel and express your passion, you get into MORE trouble. So my life has been an endless search for that ephemeral thing ... I've had it, denied myself of it, had it and lost it again. So the question for me is this: Just how far am I willing to go for it?
Something I've come to learn about myself is that I seem to thrive on putting myself in "uncomfortable situations." How else are you gonna stretch? Don't get me wrong: I enjoy being happy and comfortable as much as the next guy, but the minute -- the very minute -- I stop growing and learning, I might as well be dead Being "comfortably dead" is not an option for me. So I make a change. It may take awhile until I get brave enough to do it, but eventually, I will do it. Ultimately, I'm willing to live in the uncomfortable for a while if I know it will take me to where my passion lives. Because my passion is worth it.
This band is worth it. There is absolutely no guarantee about what's going to come of this Blue Sky Riders adventure, but as long as the music is good, the journey is fun and I feel like I'm growing, why the heck NOT pursue it? It feels like breathing to me. Which leaves me no choice but to do it.
The last few years have been really hard ones for a lot of people. Nothing is as stable as we once thought it was. In terms of my industry, the landscape changed and I had trouble finding my footing. But there are no guarantees in this world; I know that. As a result, I had to put on my big-girl pants and step into the uncomfortable zone once again to try to carve out my own niche.
Two things I've been living by lately: let go, Georgia. And dare to be uncomfortable. It's amazing where that can lead you.

As if producing commercial airliners, helicopters, and satellites didn?t keep Boeing busy enough, the company revealed earlier this week that they would soon be branching out into a slightly different market. National Defense Magazine reports that Boeing is currently working on an highly-secure Android-based smartphone of all things, and that it should see a release later this year. Boeing President Roger Krone declined to go into specifics when it came to the device?s hardware or release date, though he did note the Boeing Phone (the company hasn?t officially decided on a name yet) is nearing the end of its development cycle. It seems as though the device has been in the works for a while so it?s a safe bet that the spec sheet won?t be the most competitive, and I wouldn?t expect to see anything newer than Froyo or Gingerbread running on it.jim jones tony stewart kurt busch kurt busch nba dunk contest 2012 act of valor woody guthrie
Self Improvement is among the most widely read genres in bookstores. Therapists, clinicians, physicians, psychologist and psychiatrists make careers out of self-improvement by helping people improve their health and mind. Career counselors and financial planners help people improve their place in the world. There is something uniquely American about Self Improvement tips that transmits into the American Mindpower and has been passed on for generations.
It is widely considered that America?s self-improvement fixation started with Puritans and continued in wide form with Benjamin Franklin. The Puritan religious philosophy dominated American cultural ideology from colonization and into the early settling of the United States. The Puritans prized self-improvement as a connection with God and a constant goal to aspire to as a means to reach God and another world.
The Puritans believed in a core principal at the beginning of all their labors: work hard. The simple lesson and sticking to it served them well in laying the early roots for America and building early America into hard-working and industrious society by Mind Power.
One of America?s founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin is remembered in anecdotal stories for his efforts to save money, improve his handwriting and garner knowledge. He had a voracious appetite for knowledge and learning. He helped foster the notion in America of the self- made man or the person who becomes wealthy, successful and powerful by the means of self- improvement. Constant learning and repetition were the ways Franklin espoused. Key roots and approaches of self-improvement and mind growth can be understood through what might be the primitive processes utilized by Franklin and early Americans. Franklin is reported to have used a variety of techniques to improve his life by art of using mind power.
? Studying others: One of the best ways to learn is to learn from others. Whether it is reading similar or different works for writing style or learning their approaches, trying successful techniques used by others is a key method. Eventually, a person can find ways to improve the works of those before them, thus putting their own creative spin on a piece, which can help them later create their own work. These techniques have been used for centuries by writers, artists, musicians and craftsman and even Benjamin Franklin.
? Learning and sharing: The best ways to learn is to reach a competency where a person can talk about the knowledge learned. Franklin is said to have enjoyed learning and talking about what he learned with others to help reinforce and build on his knowledge.
Sometimes looking back at earlier techniques for self-improvement can yield new results and a new understanding for how self-improvement has evolved through the cent.

Although higher temperatures can initially spur plant growth, the boost looks shortlived. Sophie Bushwick reports.

Global warming might seem like a botanical boon. After all, milder temperatures and more carbon dioxide and nitrogen should feed flora. But a ten-year study has found that any initial positive effect on plant growth from climate change may soon disappear. The report is in the journal Nature Climate Change. [Sarah C. Elmendorf et al,Plot-scale evidence of tundra vegetation change and links to recent summer warming]
Researchers transplanted vegetation from four grassland ecosystems to lower, warmer elevations. They also modified the precipitation at the transplant sites based on altered rainfall estimates. For the first year, the plants did great, producing more biomass and churning out more oxygen for us. But their productivity went down for the rest of the decade.
What happened? Warming did speed up the nitrogen cycle, which should have increased nitrogen?s availability as plant fertilizer. But a lot of the nitrogen left the soil through run-off or uptake into the atmosphere. In addition, productive native plants began to lose out to species that thrive at higher temperatures, but are less productive than the natives. Warmer temperatures may spur immediate growth, but in the long term, we can?t expect plants to like it hot.

Losing a veteran, starting center back will never be good news. On the other hand, the Chicago Fire is well equipped to deal with this injury hit, just announced by the club.
Former U.S. international Cory Gibbs will miss four to six months after successful surgery to repair his right meniscus.
Ordinarily, the ouzo would be flowing in the Fire-friendly Polish bars of the Windy City over something like this. But it?s almost as if manager Frank Klopas has been girding for this very news. Former German international Arne Friedrich joined workouts almost three weeks ago and should be fit soon for his first MLS test. Assuming he can get past his own spotty history of injury, Chicago?s defense shouldn?t decline a bit.
Jalil Anibaba remains a good, young central partner. Meanwhile, well-regarded rookie Austin Berry was drafted for this very reason, to provide quality cover.
There?s more about the ins and outs of what this means to Klopas and crew, heading into this weekend?s match with Houston and beyond, at the Hot Time in the Old Town blog.

ScienceDaily (Apr. 10, 2012) ? Computer chips have stopped getting faster. In order to keep increasing chips' computational power at the rate to which we've grown accustomed, chipmakers are instead giving them additional "cores," or processing units.
Today, a typical chip might have six or eight cores, all communicating with each other over a single bundle of wires, called a bus. With a bus, however, only one pair of cores can talk at a time, which would be a serious limitation in chips with hundreds or even thousands of cores, which many electrical engineers envision as the future of computing.
Li-Shiuan Peh, an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, wants cores to communicate the same way computers hooked to the Internet do: by bundling the information they transmit into "packets." Each core would have its own router, which could send a packet down any of several paths, depending on the condition of the network as a whole.
At the Design Automation Conference in June, Peh and her colleagues will present a paper she describes as "summarizing 10 years of research" on such "networks on chip." Not only do the researchers establish theoretical limits on the efficiency of packet-switched on-chip communication networks, but they also present measurements performed on a test chip in which they came very close to reaching several of those limits.
Last stop for buses
In principle, multicore chips are faster than single-core chips because they can split up computational tasks and run them on several cores at once. Cores working on the same task will occasionally need to share data, but until recently, the core count on commercial chips has been low enough that a single bus has been able to handle the extra communication load. That's already changing, however: "Buses have hit a limit," Peh says. "They typically scale to about eight cores." The 10-core chips found in high-end servers frequently add a second bus, but that approach won't work for chips with hundreds of cores.
For one thing, Peh says, "buses take up a lot of power, because they are trying to drive long wires to eight or 10 cores at the same time." In the type of network Peh is proposing, on the other hand, each core communicates only with the four cores nearest it. "Here, you're driving short segments of wires, so that allows you to go lower in voltage," she explains.
In an on-chip network, however, a packet of data traveling from one core to another has to stop at every router in between. Moreover, if two packets arrive at a router at the same time, one of them has to be stored in memory while the router handles the other. Many engineers, Peh says, worry that these added requirements will introduce enough delays and computational complexity to offset the advantages of packet switching. "The biggest problem, I think, is that in industry right now, people don't know how to build these networks, because it has been buses for decades," Peh says.
Forward thinking
Peh and her colleagues have developed two techniques to address these concerns. One is something they call "virtual bypassing." In the Internet, when a packet arrives at a router, the router inspects its addressing information before deciding which path to send it down. With virtual bypassing, however, each router sends an advance signal to the next, so that it can preset its switch, speeding the packet on with no additional computation. In her group's test chips, Peh says, virtual bypassing allowed a very close approach to the maximum data-transmission rates predicted by theoretical analysis.
The other technique is something called low-swing signaling. Digital data consists of ones and zeroes, which are transmitted over communications channels as high and low voltages. Sunghyun Park, a PhD student advised by both Peh and Anantha Chandrakasan, the Joseph F. and Nancy P. Keithley Professor of Electrical Engineering, developed a circuit that reduces the swing between the high and low voltages from one volt to 300 millivolts. With its combination of virtual bypassing and low-swing signaling, the researchers' test chip consumed 38 percent less energy than previous packet-switched test chips. The researchers have more work to do, Peh says, before their test chip's power consumption gets as close to the theoretical limit as its data transmission rate does. But, she adds, "if we compare it against a bus, we get orders-of-magnitude savings."
Luca Carloni, an associate professor of computer science at Columbia University who also researches networks on chip, says "the jury is always still out" on the future of chip design, but that "the advantages of packet-switched networks on chip seem compelling." He emphasizes that those advantages include not only the operational efficiency of the chips themselves, but also "a level of regularity and productivity at design time that is very important." And within the field, he adds, "the contributions of Li-Shiuan are foundational."

Man hurt trying to rescue pet dog from riverbank
News from Journal Live:
A MAN trying to rescue his dog on Easter Sunday tumbled 10ft down a riverside bank and into barbed wire.
Fire crews, the Great North Air Ambulance Service and police were called to the incident at Ponthaugh, Rowlands Gill, Gateshead, just after 12.30pm. yesterday.
The 41-year-old local man?s dog had become trapped in mud along the Derwent Walk route and the owner tried to pull it out. Whilst attempting to help the pet, the man lost his footing and plummeted down 10ft into barbed wire designed to stop people from falling further.
During the fall, the man sustained head injuries and became entangled in the wires.
He was left with lacerations to his head and face.
Emergency services fitted the man with a neck brace for safety and used rope to hoist him up and out of the ditch.
He was flown by air ambulance to Newcastle?s Royal Victoria Infirmary for treatment. His condition there is described as stable.
The dog was unharmed and managed to free itself from the mud????? continues on Journal Live

Price: Nissan wouldn?t say, but probably close to $250,000
Competitors: 2008 Toyota Aygo 1.8 VVT-i Crazy, 2003 Nissan Micra-R
Powertrain: 3.8-liter, twin-turbo V-6, 485 hp, 434 lb-ft; 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, AWD
EPA Fuel Economy (city/highway): Not available
What?s New: Shoehorning a huge engine into a bog-standard sedan started way back with the California hot rodders after World War II. But in recent years, carmakers haven?t been able to resist the publicity of an outrageous transplant into something your granny takes to go shopping. Toyota did it with the Aygo Crazy, a 197-hp, 1.8-liter turbo version of the company?s smallest car. Nissan had the Micra-R, a 265-hp, 2.0-liter race-engined, rear-drive monster. Both were nosebleed fast, but neither was particularly good to drive, and they?re now gathering dust in company museums.
Nissan?s new Juke-R might have a bit more staying power. The project was handled by Ray Mallock Ltd, a successful race and preparation business that was the first UK importer of the GT-R?s progenitor, the Skyline GT-R, and also ran the race-winning Nissan Primera touring car team in the late 90s. They were aided and abetted by NTCE (Nissan?s European technical center at Cranfield) and NDE (Nissan?s design center in central London). Once they all rolled up their sleeves, the whole project took just 22 weeks in total.
Supercar fans may want to stop reading here, because making this monster minicrossover involved cutting up two 2010 GT-R super coupes and extracting their V-6 twin-turbo motors and amazing six-speed, dual-clutch 4x4 transmissions. The end result was an engineering test car and two "production? versions, one each with left- and right-hand drive.
The team started with a stripped Juke bodyshell, jigged up to retain its shape, into which they fitted the GT-R?s 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6, transmission, axles, and shortened propshafts. They then fabricated a new floor and firewall, complete with pickups for the GT-R?s wishbone suspension and steering gear. New body panels were designed by Nissan?s design studios in London and molded in composite materials, just skirting the standard GT-R 20-inch wheel rims and tires. There?s not much room inside with a full roll cage, a trunk filled with air conditioning, and the whole of the rear-seat area given over to the driveline. In matte black, however, it looks mean and moody, and that?s before you climb inside.
Tech Tidbit: Calibrating the GT-R?s formidable 4x4 chassis electronics for the shorter Juke would have been a nightmare. But, as it turned out, the team didn?t have to do anything. "[The electronics system] did notice that something was different,? chief test driver Michael Mallock says, "but then it recalibrated itself all on its own. Don?t tell it, because I don?t think it realizes that it?s in a different car.? So, though the overall length, weight distribution, engine location, and chassis balance are all very different from the GT-R coupe, the Juke-R benefits from that car?s torque vectoring, which pushes torque to the wheel with the most grip and gives it the sort of handling that humbles every other crossover.
Driving Character: Climb in over the massive roll cage, drop into the racing seat, and fasten the race harnesses, and the Juke-R feels like just another marketing department road-race special you expect to ride like a bucket full of nails. But then you look around the cabin and realize that its builders put in a huge effort toward making this look and feel like a real Juke. The dashboard is 4 inches closer because of the relocated engine, but the instruments are all familiar GT-R items refitted into the Juke?s motorcycle-style binnacle. Even so, it feels pretty weird to be so high off the ground, sitting behind an upright screen, in what amounts to a supercar.
The engine starts with a boom and settles to a grumbling idle, just like the GT-R. Steering-wheel paddles handle the gear changes, so pull the right one and push the throttle. With a lurch, the Juke-R pulls slowly away before you realize that there?s another 3 inches of throttle travel. Jumping Jehoshaphat! this car is quick. And the gear change is fantastic?fast, but never brutal. The 0 to 62 mph acceleration is quoted at 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 160 mph, but with a curb weight of 3981 pounds?an increase of about 220 pounds from the standard GT-R?you don?t want to push the speed on the road or the track.
The steering feels slightly inert but also meaty as you turn in on the brakes. It grips well, but slithers wide at the front if you turn in too fast. Quickly get on the pedal and you?ll witness the Juke-R?s remarkable party trick?the tail slides wide before the transmission shuffles torque around the wheels to pull the car straight again. That said, this car is not as forgiving as a GT-R. Go into a corner too fast and you?ll slide off the asphalt, or spin, or both. The brakes are mighty, slamming you against the harness as you pull up and pretty much fade free. Above all, it?s fun in a showoff sort of way.
Favorite Detail: Nissan let its designers off the leash for once, and the result is that sexy sheet metal. With sculpted sills, racing wheel arches, and front air intakes that look like rocket-launch tubes, the Juke-R appears built for Armageddon and gives you an idea about forthcoming body additions from Nismo, Nissan?s tuning arm.
Driver?s Grievance: Okay, there?s no room inside, mainly because the trunk is full of air conditioning and the passenger footwell holds the battery. What is more of an irritant is the lurch the car makes as you take up the drive. Here the Juke-R is not alone, as the GT-R also suffers from this trait.
Bottom Line: No, Nissan isn?t going to build the Juke-R, though it had some big-money offers when the fire-breathing crossover debuted in Dubai last year. Nor is this a car to take too seriously. The price would be extreme?somewhere in the neighborhood of $250,000?and you?d end up with a car that was inferior in all except the just "look-at-me? appeal to the GT-R. What the Juke-R does show, however, is that Nissan is prepared to indulge the whims of its staff in a not-so-secret skunk works, to go so far off-message that it?s almost unrecognizable, and to raise the expectations for Nismo in the coming years.

These drinks range from the traditional to the ingenious, with touches of European heritage and a Chilean sensibility.
Monday, April 09, 2012 Category:?Daily life - Food - EntertainmentIn the land of wine, ingenious mixologists keep coming up with more and more creative uses for the country's most celebrated spirit. Here, we've compiled 10 tried-and-true cocktail recipes employing Chilean reds, whites, bubblies, and local variations of grape ferments like vino a?ejo and chicha.
Terremoto
Chile's iconic mixed drink - the Terremoto, or "earthquake" - is ubiquitous during Independence Day celebrations on September 18 and 19, but it's possible to enjoy a pitcher year-round at the Santiago institution, La Piojera.
To make your own batch of Terremotos, you'll need the following:
1 bottle of white wine or vino pipe?o (a sweet, homemade wine sold in plastic jugs, and similar to chicha - see Chicha Sour)
2 parts of fernet, rum, cognac OR pisco
2 scoops of pineapple ice cream
Mix the wine and liquor of choice thoroughly in a one-liter jar, then add ice cream. Serve immediately with a straw.
Ponche a la Romana
The best way to ring in the New Year, Chilean style, is with a brimming glass of Ponche a la Romana - sparkling wine with a scoop of pineapple ice cream. It's sweet, delicious, and one of the many colorful New Year's traditions in Chile, so you'll be in good company as you toast the new year (and rue the next morning).
Ponche (also, Clery)
New Year's Eve kicks off the summer, and for the rest of the warm months, it will be easy to find Ponche - white wine with diced peaches. To get the best flavor, mix the peaches into the wine and let sit for 12 hours. Canned peaches are generally used, but for that fresh peach flavor, dice a ripe peach and strain before serving. Serve cold.
Another variation - especially popular in the Chilean countryside - is called Clery, which is white wine with fresh strawberries.
Mel?n con Vino
Another summertime staple, Mel?n con Vino is just what it says - melon with wine. The trick is the serving method: carefully slice off the top of a round melon, scoop out the seeds, and fill with white wine. Stick in a straw, and pass around. The melon can be reused throughout the day, and is a staple on beaches throughout the central coast - just make sure to protect it from the sand!
Borgo?a
Borgo?a is another lovely pairing of Chilean wine and fruit, this time with red wine - we like it with Chile's classic varietal Carmenere - and fresh strawberries. Chop up the strawberries (you can also add blueberries and raspberries, if you're feeling daring) and place in a glass jug. Pour red wine over the strawberries and let sit for several hours, or serve immediately. Some like to add sugar to taste.
Navegado
Nothing beats the winter cold like a steaming mug of Navegado - a delicious mulled wine served throughout Chile's southern regions as the temperatures begin to drop. As with most great recipes, everyone has their own, but this as a basic framework.
1 bottle/box of red wine (the alcohol boils off and the liquid will reduce considerably, so there's no reason to use something fancy)
? cup of orange juice
? cup of sugar (or less, to taste)
Cinnamon sticks (one or two, to taste)
Cloves (five or six, to taste)
Orange slices - enough to cover most of the surface area of the pot
Once the wine has reached a simmer, it's ready to serve hot in tea cups or mugs. Letting the wine simmer longer will result in a thicker, more syrupy - and less alcoholic drink - and infuse your house with the delicious smell of spices and orange.
Chupilca
An old-school Chilean "energy drink," farmers in the central valley historically drank Chupilca midway through the day to keep up their strength, with a simple preparation of red wine, toasted flour and a little sugar. The toasted flour - harina tostada - gives a nice, porridge-like consistency to the drink, which is usually slurped with a spoon. If you've missed the chance to try it out on the farm, pour yourself a half glass of wine and mix with a spoonful of flour.
Jote (also, Chincol and Chuflay)
Perhaps the least glamorous of the wine cocktails, it's only fitting that the Jote is named for the black buzzard - a distinctly inglorious bird. Still, if you're trying to liven up some bad box wine (obviously not Chilean), there's no better cure than the Jote: mixing wine with Coca Cola.
The drink has spawned countless spin-offs, including Chincol - red wine and 7-Up - and Chuflay - white wine and Bilz y Pap. Beer drinkers, be sure to try the inimitable Fanschop as well, a combination of orange Fanta and "schop" or draft beer.
Chicha Sour
Of course, you've heard of the Pisco Sour. The famous national drink of both Chile and Peru (with contested origins), a Pisco Sour mixes lemon, amaretto and egg white with distilled grape brandy, or pisco. If you haven't tried one yet, you've likely never visited Chile.
A Chicha Sour uses the same main ingredients, but adds one of the Chilean countryside's best home-brewed wine alternatives: sweet chicha, a bubbly, young fermentation of grapes, usually bottled in five-liter plastic jugs and sold at produce stands in the central valley. ?
To make a Chicha Sour, you'll need the following: ?
3 oz of pisco
1 oz of "jarabe" - a thick syrup made from chicha. Try your local feria, or outdoor market.
1 oz of lemon juice
1 oz of chicha morada
1 tspn egg white*
4 ice cubes
2 drops of amaretto
Mix the pisco, jarabe, lemon juice, chicha morada and egg white vigorously in a blender or a cocktail shaker, until the egg white begins to foam. Pour into a cold cocktail glass, add the ice cubes and two drops of amaretto, and serve cold. ?
Vaina
The classy, older gentleman's aperitif of choice, Vainas are typically offered before or after a long, luxurious meal in finer establishments, poured into tiny cocktail glasses or champagne flutes.
To make your own, you'll need the following:
1.4 oz. vino a?ejo (aged wine, similar to port)
1 oz. cognac
1 oz. cr?me de cacao
3 tspn. sugar
1 egg yolk*
? c. crushed ice
Cinnamon
Mix the vino a?ejo, cognac, cr?me de cacao, sugar and egg yolk in a blender. Add ice once the yolk is thoroughly mixed with the liquors. Serve and garnish with a sprinkling of cinnamon.
*A note on using raw egg in cocktails
Both the Chicha Sour and the Vaina use raw egg in their preparation. Raw egg can make you sick, especially if the eggs were not stored properly, so be careful where you order these drinks, or where you store your eggs. We've found that the drink pretty much tastes the same without egg - it just loses its pretty foam. Please prepare with care.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Several U.S. news organizations have asked a judge in the Guantanamo war crimes tribunals to keep the court open to the media this week if an alleged al Qaeda chieftain is allowed to testify about his mistreatment in secret CIA prisons.
Defense lawyers have said the court would almost certainly meet in a secret session if the judge permits testimony from Abd al Rahim al Nashiri, a Saudi prisoner accused of orchestrating the attack that killed 17 U.S. sailors aboard the USS Cole off the coast of Yemen in 2000.
Three days of pretrial motions are scheduled to begin on Wednesday in the death penalty case at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. naval base in Cuba.
Nashiri would be the first former CIA captive to give a first-hand account in court about interrogation methods that the government considers to be secret.
Defense lawyers want to put Nashiri's treatment in CIA prisons on the record. They hope to do that by arguing that jailors should stop shackling him to the floor when he meets with them, obtaining his testimony that the leg chain reminds him of the trauma he suffered in CIA prisons and impairs his ability to help prepare a defense.
The Miami Herald and its parent company, The McClatchy Co., initiated a motion asking the judge, Army Colonel James Pohl, to keep the hearing open. Several news organizations, including Reuters, joined the request.
The news groups argue that journalists should be able to witness Nashiri's testimony because some details of his treatment are already known publicly and because the Pentagon has adequate safeguards to prevent national secrets from being disclosed.
Journalists normally watch the hearings from behind a soundproof glass wall in the courtroom, or on a closed-circuit feed. In both cases, the audio feed is delayed by 40 seconds to give the court security officer time to block the sound with white noise if classified information is mentioned.
If the judge closes the court, journalists would not be able to watch or hear the proceedings.
The law underpinning the tribunals expressly mandates that the proceedings must be open to the media and public, except in certain narrowly limited circumstances, David A. Schulz, an attorney representing the news organizations, wrote in the motion.
He said a blanket closure of the court would not be in the public interest because matters to be discussed at the hearing "shed considerable light on how the United States government treats 'high-value detainees' such as Mr. al Nashiri, and how such treatment affects both the fairness and the appearance of fairness of these proceedings."
The judge has not indicated how he will handle the request, said a Pentagon spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Todd Breasseale.
Nashiri is accused of masterminding the attack in which two suicide bombers rammed an explosives-laden boat into the side of the Cole during a refueling stop in the Yemeni port of Aden.
He was captured in Dubai in 2002 and held in secret CIA prisons, reportedly in Thailand, Afghanistan and Poland, before being sent to the Guantanamo detention camp in 2006.
The CIA has acknowledged that Nashiri was subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as water-boarding, and that agents racked a semiautomatic handgun near his head and revved up a power drill while he was blindfolded to frighten him in to talking.
Defense attorneys have said he was also stripped naked and chained to a wall as part of a sleep-deprivation treatment.
"I have no reason to think the prosecution will in any way agree to have Mr. Nashiri's testimony public. My guess is that they will try and prevent it from happening altogether," defense attorney Rick Kammen told Reuters.
The charges against Nashiri include murder, attempted murder and conspiring with al Qaeda, and he could be the first Guantanamo captive to face the death penalty if convicted.
Defense lawyers have said the United States has lost its moral authority to execute him because it tortured him, and that his treatment at CIA hands "is just going to infect everything in this case."
Prosecutors have not commented publicly about whether they want the hearing closed. They have filed what is titled "Motion for Hearing to Identify and Minimize Amount of Closure of Proceedings" in the shackling matter, however it remained sealed on Monday.
Other media groups joining the request were Fox News Network, National Public Radio, The New York Times, The New Yorker magazine, the Tribune Company, The Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post.
