# National Street Rod Association

The National Street Rod Association or NSRA is an organization that hosts a number of hot rod and muscle car shows in the United States.

## History

The editors of Rod and Custom magazine joined with street-rod clubs across the country to organize the first Street Rod Nationals in Peoria, Illinois, in August 1970, leading to the formation of the NSRA. The NSRA was established as a privately owned corporation based in California. Dick Wells was the first president and CEO. Wells was a partner with Ray Brock in Rod Action, a street-rod publishing venture, and set up the NSRA headquarters office in the magazine's business suite.
By 1973, Wells had set up thirty volunteer state representatives who advised the NSRA headquarters of regulatory developments, and also engaged with local officials and attended public hearings. Impressed by the effectiveness of that system, Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) adopted it in 1975, and also hired Wells away from the NSRA.
The NSRA held firmly to the stance that street rods were strictly vehicles with bodies from 1948 and earlier. As some enthusiasts pushed to include early 1950s vehicles, the NSRA added a street-machine division and added street-machine-only events. In 2010, the NSRA changed its rules to admit cars that are at least 30 years old.

## Shows

The shows that are put on by the NSRA are:
* Western Street Rod Nationals, Bakersfield, California
* Street Rod Nationals South, Knoxville, Tennessee
* Mid-America Street Rod Nationals, Springfield, Missouri
* Street Rod Nationals East, York, Pennsylvania
* Rocky Mountain Street Rod Nationals, Pueblo, Colorado
* Mobile Bay Street Rod Nationals, Mobile, Alabama
* Street Rod Nationals, Louisville, Kentucky
* Quad Cities Street Rod Nationals, Davenport, Iowa
* Street Rod Nationals North, Kalamazoo, Michigan
* Northeast Street Rod Nationals, Burlington, Vermont
# St. Lars restaurant

St. Lars is a grill-restaurant in the borough Bislett in Oslo, Norway. It is owned by international TV-chef Andreas Viestad, Face2Face communications agency founder Per Meland and Stargate-producer Tor Erik Hermansen. The restaurant is known for using meat from horses and bear, and even pigs from Bygdø Royal Farm's petting zoo. Everything apart from their horse tartar has been cooked on a custom made grill. The cuisine is based on serving raw or grilled food with an emphasis on Norwegian produce and unusual cooking techniques. The owners have tried to bring some of the ambience from the New York-restaurant The Spotted Pig, owned by Hermansen's StarRoc partner Jay-Z, to their restaurant.
On several occasions St. Lars has collaborated with winemaker and musician Sigurd Wongraven from Satyricon on special music and food weeks that has included dj-sets from artists like Knut Schreiner from Turbonegro.
For Christmas 2012 St. Lars bought all the pigs from the petting zoo at Bygdøy Royal Estate and had them as their main attraction on their annual Christmas menu.

## Clientele and awards

The restaurant is frequented by notables such as Queen Sonja of Norway and the former Norwegian prime minister Jens Stoltenberg. In 2012 the restaurant was voted "restaurant of the year" by Natt & Dag. The restaurant has received favorable reviews from all major Norwegian newspapers.

## Horse meat

During the "horse meat scandal" or the 2013 meat adulteration scandal that shocked European consumers on the beginning of 2013, St. Lars' horse beef tartar became their best-selling starter dish. Owner Andreas Viestad got a lot of media attention claiming that correctly prepared horse beef was the best meat to be had.

## Grill stolen

In the morning hours of June 6, 2012 the restaurant's custom made grill was stolen by four men in a van. Viestad who called the grill "the Rolls Royce of grills", told the press he thought it was an ordered theft. The grill was never recovered.

## History

The Portsmouth Dreadnoughts were founded in April 2012 by three players, Pete Southwood, Ben Bell and David Bennett. They had met whilst playing and coaching for the Solent Thrashers, but found that the travel considerations of a long drive to Southampton from Horndean were significant enough to make them look into how to keep playing American Football, but not at such a distance.
The team's first game was played against the Plymouth Extreme.
The Dreadnoughts were admitted to the National league for the start of the 2014 season. They failed to win a game in their first season which was brought to an early end when they were disqualified from the last 4 games of the season for bringing the game into disrepute by allowing unregistered coaches to participate and for permitting someone to participate in club activities whilst banned for safeguarding reasons. The Dreadnoughts returned to the National Leagues for the start of the 2015 season, during which they recorded their first ever league win in a 48 points to 15 victory over the Hastings Conquerors

# Pegaspargase

Pegaspargase, sold under the brand name Oncaspar, is a medication used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Often it is used together with anthracycline, vincristine, and corticosteroids (for example prednisone and dexamethasone). Pegaspargase can be administered either via an intravenous infusion or a intramuscular injection.
Known side effects include allergic reactions, coagulopathy, high blood sugar, affecting liver function, pancreas inflammation, and blood clots in the brain. There is no data regarding the usage of pegaspargase during pregnancy. Therefore, caution should be observed and pegaspargase should only be used during pregnancy when the benefits outweigh the possible risks.
Pegaspargase is a modified version of the enzyme asparaginase which has undergone PEGylation. It works by breaking down the amino acid asparagine that are circulating in the bloodstream. The circulating asparagine is essential for the cancer cells to enable growth since they can't produce their own, in contrast to normal cells. The normal cells are therefore less affected by pegaspargase.
Pegaspargase was approved for medical use in the United States in 1994. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. It is made by Sigma-Tau.
# Oliver Arms

Oliver Arms (born 1970) is an American painter based in Los Angeles, California.

## Education

Oliver Arms attended the San Francisco Art Institute from 1988 to 1991.

## Works

Arms is primarily known for his labor-intensive oil paintings which are created by repeatedly building up then sanding down multiple layers of oil paint on canvas over the course of many months. Arms claims his work dealt with the compounding of time and information as a pollutant. In an interview with Price Latimer Agah in 2009, Arms said of his work: "What I'm left with is an inundation because of so many layers sanded down, an inundation that in some pale fashion tries to compete, in terms of information overload, back to the thing that stimulated it." His work is included in the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation in Los Angeles. Some of his most recognizable work included:
* "1975," 2011–2012, Oil on canvas, 48 x 36 inches, 121.9 x 91. cm
* "Denn die Todten reiten schnell (for the dead travel fast)," 2008–09, Oil on canvas, diptych, 84 x 144 inches, 213.4 x 365.8 cm
* "Cuando Amanezca, Entonces Verás," 2012, Oil on canvas, 84 x 72 inches, 213.4 x 182.9 cm
* "Crocodile," 2011–2012, Oil on canvas, 72 x 72 inches, 182.9 x 182.9 cm

## Exhibitions

He held his first solo exhibition at Western Project in Los Angeles in 2005, following with a show at the Charles Cowles Gallery in New York in 2007.
David Pagel, in his Los Angeles Times review for Arms's third exhibition in 2008 at Western Project, states Arms's work is an "eloquent essay on the most elemental aspects of the organic materiality of oil paint. Simultaneously fluid, crusty and ethereal, his primal pictures have one foot firmly planted in the primordial ooze and the other in the cultivated world of modernist abstraction. It's a feat that balances furious energy and strange serenity."
Arms continued with a solo exhibition at Ameringer/McEnery/Yohe in New York in 2010.
In April 2012, Arms showed a body of work for his second exhibition at Ameringer/McEnery/Yohe in New York.
The Orange County Museum of Art included Arms's work in "OC Collects", which ran from October 7, 2012 - January 1, 2013.
In January 2014, Ameringer/McEnery/Yohe hosted Arms's work concurrent with a Hans Hoffman exhibition.
In January 2018, a survey of Arms's paintings were presented for the inaugural exhibition at the newly formed gallery Jason Haam in Seoul, South Korea.
In January 2021, Arms held his second solo exhibition at Jason Haam in Seoul, South Korea.
