MSNBC: “Hanoi Hilton” jailer endorses McCain.
John McCain has an unusual endorsement — from the Vietnamese jailer who says he held him captive for about five years as a POW and now considers him a friend.
"If I were an American voter, I would vote for Mr. John McCain," Tran Trong Duyet said Friday, sitting in his living room in the northern city of Haiphong, surrounded by black-and-white photos of a much younger version of himself and former Vietnam War prisoners. MSNBC

Rotating Skyscraper Announced for NYC
Each floor rotates separately and it's powered by wind turbines between floors. It'll be a site to see (sic), but an operations nightmare.

Belmont Park - Wikipedia
Belmont Park: "... was named after financier and sportsman August Belmont, Sr., who helped fund the race, and most sources say the racetrack itself was also named for him. Other sources say Belmont Park was named in honor of his son -- August Belmont II, a key member of the Westchester Racing Association, which established the racecourse.
The race was first run in 1867 at Jerome Park Racetrack in the Bronx."

Remote Control Plane
We took my Radio Remote Control Plane out for a test flight today (Volitation in the Chinese language manual). It's made from EPP Foam (like styrofoam) and thus fairly crash-proof. It wasn't flying well, so we lightened the load by removing the landing gear. (Who needs landing gear when you can't do anything but crash land?) We'll try again later.
