quote TheDarkLurkerNot just Bulbapedia, friend. Everyone (including Serebii and Smogon) says any Pokemon listed in the No Eggs group (quite obviously) cannot breed. I would be interested if you could list a specific example of a legendary you have bred successfully. Then I would ask whether you were playing an actual retail cart or a ROM. Really, I'd be happy if you were right! That would mean I wouldn't have to mess with RNG anymore. I could breed for perfect stats on legends. As it stands, it is far wiser to believe what everyone says over the word of two or three heathens. Especially when there is no legit evidence documented. So I'm gonna say...One more thing. DON'T TRUST HEATHENS WITHOUT PROOF!!!Bulbapedia was written by idiots. You can actually breed legendary pokemon without cheats, hacks, etc. Although, there is a very small chance of being succesful when breeding legendaries. Oh, and Silver Wolf 654, generation 6 has been announced but not being released until October. Pokemon X and Pokemon Y. Starters: Fennekin, Froakie, and Chespin. (sorry. I gad to put that in there.) One more thing. DO NOT TRUST ANY WIKI!!!

Serves 8 |
Prep Time 1 hour 30 minutes |
Cook Time 25 minutes
2 cups Eden Dried Montmorency Cherries
3 cups Eden Apple Juice
1/4 tsp Eden Sea Salt
1/4 cup Eden Kuzu Root Starch, dissolved in 5 T. cold water
Pie Crust
1 1/2 cups organic whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup Eden Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Edensoy UnsweetenedEdensoy Original, or Edensoy Extra Original
Place the cherries, apple juice and sea salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off the flame and let the cherries soak for 1 hour.
While the cherries are soaking, prepare the pie crust by first combining the flour and sea salt. Then combine the olive oil and soymilk. Mix the wet and dry ingredients and form into a ball of dough. Roll out on a lightly floured board or baking paper. Place the crust in a 9" pie plate, trim the edges and crimp the edges of the dough with a wet fork or your fingers. Poke several holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork to allow air to escape while baking. Preheat the oven to 350° and pre bake the crust for 5 minutes. Remove the crust but leave the oven on.
Place the cherries and juice in a saucepan, add the dissolved kuzu and cook over a high flame, stirring constantly to prevent lumping until thick, about 3 minutes. Pour the hot cherry filling into the pre baked crust. Place back in the oven and bake another 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp. Remove and allow to cool to room temperature, allowing the filling to gel before slicing.
Note: If the pie is too sweet for you, use 1/2 Eden Apple Juice and 1/2 Eden Cherry Juice in place of all apple juice.

Comments: I'll agree that the leg zippers seem a bit flimsy & I had trouble getting them to zip down/closed without catching on the inner material, but I started putting them on without unzipping them to avoid that issue. I love these pants, coming from a regular length CCM V06 these are much wider in the legs & roomier overall (which I prefer). I also needed the extra length provided by the tall size. I've taken a couple shots off the legs & haven't felt a thing. I've fallen backwards a couple of times & haven't thought they lacked in tailbone protection either. Overall I am very happy with this purchase & I hope they hold up for a while (only have about 4 games in them).
From: Will, Texas
Comments: Great product for the price! More then enough protection!
From: Andy, TX
Comments: Great pant. Best I have owned.
From: Dallas, TX
Comments: Great pant to have. The longer version is great for tall players. Good balance between protection and weight. Overall a great pant at a really good price.
From: Daniel, FL
Comments: Been wearing these pants for a year. Overall, the pants provide enough protection for beer league hockey. The durability of the pants are ok though....as some of the previous post have said, stitching and seams are frayed and seams are coming apart in some places. I've had to sew up some spots. If you aren't too hard on your pants and want a very good ratio of mobility and protection, these pants are it. Once broken in, they flex easy and none of the pads restrict your movement.
From: Roy
Comments: Overall a good pant. The inside legs are wearing a little, but no other issues. I would recommend.
From: Ted
Comments: Flimsy leg zippers, one broke after about 3 months of use. Cheap materials used on inside of legs, everything is frayed and seams coming apart. Rest of pant is fine. recommend going with the One100, better made, heavy duty zippers. cost more but worth it in the long run.

MARTINSBURG - A few days before Martinsburg played in and won its historic third straight state championship, Phil Ratliff watched the Bulldogs practice.
Dressed in a green-and-gold, Charlotte warmup suit and wearing a ballcap, Ratcliff watched the Bulldogs go through their paces leading up to a 38-14 victory over Cabell Midland in the state Class AAA state championship game earlier this month.
While Ratliff watched everything during the practice, his eye really was focused on lineman Eugene German, who committed last summer to the new Division I program at North Carolina-Charlotte. The 49ers will play their first game in August. Ratliff, the offensive line coach at Charlotte, knows something about talent. He was an All-American offensive lineman at Marshall.

Martinsburg offensive tackle Eugene German blocks Cabell Midland's Justin Leggett in the Class AAA?state championship game Dec. 1 at Wheeling Island Stadium.. The Bulldogs won their third consecutive state title, beating the Knights 38-14. On Tuesday, German was named the winner of the Hunt Award, given to the state's top offensive lineman. (Journal photo by Ryan Decker)
He just wants to make sure German remains in the fold.
As does the whole Charlotte program. Head coach Brad Lambert visited with German and his family last week.
"I like when they come up to see me," German said, "that they care and are excited for me to join them."
German, when he signs his letter-of-intent, will be part of the newfootball program at Charlotte, where he thinks he'll get a strong opportunity to step on to the field next fall.
For now, though, German will enjoy being the winner of the Hunt Award as the state's top high school lineman.
He is being honored today by the West Virginia Sports Writer's Association as Martinsburg's second winner.
"I think there is no question he was the best lineman in the state,"
Martinsburg coach David Walker said. "He definitely played like it through the playoffs. He had dominant performances during the playoffs, blocking people 15 yards downfield, pancaking them, driving people into the ground."
Steve Roach, who went to Penn State, won the award previously for Martinsburg in 2001.
German, a self-called "Army brat" who even lived in Germany, is the only one of those two who can call himself a state champion, however.
He anchored the line at tackle for an offense that averaged 51.6 points per game and a hearty 47.5 in the Bulldogs' four playoff victories. Martinsburg, which graduated its quarterback and running backs from a season earlier, succeeded on the ground and through the air during a 13-1 season, part of a 42-1 run during their title spree.
German didn't even play on the first of the Bulldogs' three straight championship teams that equalled the state record of three titles in a row by Charleston between 1968-1970.
Instead, he suffered a loss to Martinsburg.
During his sophomore year, German played for Thomas Johnson, Md., as the Patriots dropped an 11-7 decision to the Bulldogs on a Thursday night at home during Martinsburg's first championship season.
Although he enjoyed his time at Thomas Johnson, between his junior and senior years, German's family, its roots in Martinsburg, moved back to the Eastern Panhandle, and German became a Bulldog. Welcomed by some old friends on the team, his career really took off.
"Since we moved back, everything has been great," German said, "winning two titles and now winning the Hunt Award. Everything's worked out fine."
Winning the Hunt Award brought the year to a crescendo for German.
"This season couldn't have been any more successful than what it was," German said. "I want to thank all of my coaches and thank God for this opportunity."
Walker thinks it's only the beginning for the 6-foot-5, 260-pound German.
"I think he has a lot of potential," Walker said. "With his frame, he's going to be able to put on 40 pounds. He'll be a great player because he's a great athlete, he's got long arms. He's a good pass-blocker.
"The sky's the limiit for him if he works hard."
Other finalists for the award were Gage Gould of Cabell Midland, Adam White of Morgantown and Anthony Bryant of Wayne.
"He's a good student and a kid with great character," Walker said. "He's a great player, but even a greater person."
The coaches of the new football program at Charlotte seem to think so, too.

National Alliance on Mental Illness

Many Americans Know Little about Mental Illnesses, Most Agree Knowing Warnings Signs Would Help, New Survey Shows
"The consequences of this gap in knowledge are quite serious," said Carolyn Robinowitz, M.D., secretary-treasurer and 2006 president-elect of the APA. "About one-in-five Americans suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder during any given year. This means few families are untouched by a mental illness. All families will benefit from understanding how these disorders can impact their lives."
The survey also showed that one-third of Americans mistakenly think that emotional or personal weakness is a major cause of mental illnesses and almost as many think old age is a major cause.
In fact, research shows the causes of mental illnesses are genetic and environmental factors, traumatic events, and other physical illnesses and injuries that have psychiatric side effects.
Robinowitz noted that advances in medical science have led to new and innovative treatments that help people live full and productive lives. "Today we know more than ever about how the brain works and how it affects overall health," Robinowitz said. "We need to make sure Americans get the benefit of these discoveries, and that means dispelling myths and providing the facts so that people get the help they need. We really can help Americans have healthy minds so they can enjoy healthy lives."
Indeed treatments for mental illnesses are effective. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) recently found the rate of successful treatment for depression (70-80 percent) compares favorably to the rate for other chronic illnesses, such as heart disease (45-50 percent). The survey showed that many Americans do not understand that common mental illnesses can be successfully treated most of the time.
"Left untreated, mental illnesses can take an enormous toll on family life, the workplace, and society as a whole," Robinowitz said. Mental disorders comprise four of the 10 leading causes of disability in the
Additional Findings
"The most important point is for people to understand that mental illnesses are real and highly treatable," said Robinowitz. "Through the APA's 'Healthy Minds. Healthy Lives.' campaign, we are providing the most up-to-date, science-based information on common mental health concerns, warning signs, where to turn for help, and treatment options."
For professional help, people can turn to their primary care physician or a psychiatrist. As medical doctors, psychiatrists specialize in how the brain works. They are the only mental health practitioners who are trained in the biological workings of the mind and body.
May is Mental Health Month. Learn more by visiting the APA's consumer Web site at www.healthyminds.org.

The importance of open data in education | Opensource.com
The importance of open data in education
The following article is largely based on a talk by Andy Pethan and Colin Zwiebel, "State of Open Data in Education," at the LinuxCon 2010 education mini-summit.
What happens when you open data?
Six months ago, the MTA in New York released a dataset under GTFS, a format for transporation timetables. Timetables themselves aren't very interesting. What is interesting is what you can do with the data.
ExitStrategyNYC is one such example. Have you ever gotten off an unfamiliar subway and been unable to figure out where to go next? ExitStrategyNYC doesn't teach you how to use the subway--it helps you figure out what to do when you get out of the station.
The world is increasingly data-driven. There are more analytics companies every day. We even see more data from our government--one of President Obama's first actions was the Open Government Initiative.
So how does all this fit into education?
Simply put, education needs raw, real-time data.
For example: if you have an educational game generating data about a student, it should be accessible immediately, not compiled at the end of the year when it is no longer raw nor immediate. By then, it's likely irrelevant--it's data about a student who has already graduated from the classroom in which that information could have been useful.
But instead of raw, real-time data, we have aggregate school reporting, state and national statistics, and inaccessible or less usable data forms like PDFs or school-held CDs.
In addition, a lot of data is collected and used, but not everyone collects the same information, much less stores it the same way or works to share it. Without a good way to see and sort aggregate data, it's not useful.
The National Education Data Model (NEDM) is one answer to these problems. It's a standarized way to collect data and describe almost everything in an educational environment--from students to their bus routes. It puts a common framework and language around data that will improve schools, research, and policy.
Karen Cator, director of the Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology explains the connection, "In education, the more information we have, the better we will be able meet the needs of our students. But being data-driven doesn't help us if our data systems don't communicate with each other. The National Data Education Model is an important tool that will assist in creating clearer communication around data and begin to give us a more accurate picture of our schools and students."
Multiple sources on student information systems were used to develop NEDM, including the NCES Forum Data Model Task Force Recommendations, Data Quality Campaign's 10 Essential Elements, the National Center for Education Statistics' Handbooks, and the School#mce_temp_url#s Interoperability Framework.
NEDM 2.0 was released in March 2010. It can be used by educators, vendors, and researchers to answer questions about what data schools need to collect to meet student needs and how to effectively manage that data so that teaching and learning are successful.

Our goal with the National Education Data Model was to create a catalog of the data sets that existed in the educational data space as a service to the states, development community, and vendors that were building education data systems.
The more feedback we get on the model and the more use of it that happens the more this resource - in conjunction with the Common Data Standards initiative- will start to drive data systems that can interoperate and work together to impact the quality of teacher, the lives of teachers, and learning and the lives of learners.
Alex Jackl
Director of Information Systems
Council of Chief State School Officers
I wish I caught the LinuxCon speech! It's great to see initiatives like NEDM/Core/SIF/etc tackling data issues head on from the top down, and doing so with 100% focus on providing usable results for those in the trenches rather than simple federal accountability. For many years we talked 'data-driven'. IMO, we all got in our cars, found gas, and made plans to meet at the beach for a day of fun (we setup robust architectures, found homes for datas, started recognizing use for that data once collected)... but we headed in different directions and pulled out of our driveways at different times and speeds. Projects like these that pave the road and give districts, states, and vendors recommendations without deep mandates is precisely what will forward our nation's progress. They allow synergies between institutions, governments, vendors and give lil 'ol me a sound and valid foundation to start from in systems design based on successes I would never know about from others. That alone will result in more time spent on INNOVATION rather than rewriting the wheel in district after district. Adoption is key. In such a fluid technology industry, I only hope we can project this recent campaigning as a kickstart-- and let the engagement of users be not limited to seeing it as guidance. I challenge these projects to seek more and more methods for more collaborative 'user' involvement- molding, bending, challenging, and iterating to the next level of success with a transparent focus on practical use of data in both instructional and administrative settings.
The world is increasingly data-driven. There are more analytics companies every day. We even see more data from our government--one of President Obama's first actions was the Open Government Initiative. gifts for wife

1872 Grizzly vs. Eagle Trophy Ball
Starting Bid - $200.00, Sold For - $1,057.50
In July 1872 the Grizzly ball club defeated the Eagle ball club by a score of 17-15. The site of the game, the players who participated in it, and the spectators who attended are apparently lost to the sands of time. That fact aside, it is a game that will never be forgotten due to the survival of this rare relic: a decorated trophy ball commemorating that contest. The white painted ball is decorated in two-tone red and black letters and reads "Grizzly - 17 - Eagle - 15 - July 27th - 1872." While the Grizzly and Eagle ball clubs were not members of the National Association, they were most likely playing under the organization's guidelines. In 1872 the National Association amended its rules and declared that a baseball must weigh between five and five and a quarter ounces and its circumference must be between nine and nine and a quarter inches. This particular ball, which features a "figure-eight" stitch pattern, weighs in at 5.5 ounces (the heavy lead paint obviously adds some slight weight) and its circumference measures 9 inches, both well within Association standards for the time. The ball is slightly soiled and displays numerous fine cracks to its white painted surface as well as two small tears along the seams. The red and black lettering remains bold and legible. Nineteenth-century trophy balls, regardless of the teams, are very rare and highly prized by collectors today. This particular ball, dating from early 1870s, is a very interesting, attractive, and unique example. This is a rare collecting opportunity to acquire an early trophy ball of high quality, at a very modest level compared to the many thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars that more significant trophy balls involving the game's most prominent teams sell for when available. Reserve $200. Estimate $400/$600. SOLD FOR $1,057.50

SKILLMAN, N.J. - The Stetson men's tennis team was ranked 71st in the nation by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), as released on Wednesday afternoon.
"Obviously this is a significant accomplishment for our young team," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said on Wednesday. "To break into the national rankings this early into the season is quite an achievement."
Stetson defeated #56 St. John's at home last Thursday by a score of 5-2 in its season opener. The Hatters used strong singles performances to pick up the victory over the nationally ranked Red Storm.
"The voters kept St. John's high in the ranking (66) despite some losses, likely because of the quality of their team and the level of their opponents. This bodes well for us for future rankings."
This marks the first time that Hatters have been nationally ranked this season, but it is nothing new for Stetson. The Hatters were ranked last year when they managed to get as high as #59 in the country, and this marks the fifth time in six years that Stetson has been recognized by the ITA in their national rankings.
The Hatters were joined in the rankings by fellow Atlantic Sun Conference competitors North Florida (62) and ETSU (73). "To have three A-Sun teams ranked nationally once again demonstrates the high level of men's tennis in our conference."
Stetson will continue the 2013 season on Saturday, hosting Flagler College. The match is scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m.

Amanda Bynes just can't get a break behind the wheel.
Despite the scrutiny she's faced since her DUI arrest on April 6 (not to mention another small driving mishap), the beleaguered star went out on the town again in West Hollywood Sunday night, and attracted plenty of attention for her driving.
Around 10:30 p.m., Bynes, 26, was spotted "holding up traffic and doing an incredibly slow ... 3-point turn in the middle of Robertson [Blvd.]," an eyewitness tells PEOPLE of the incident on the major thoroughfare.
"It was taking forever and she finally made it into the driveway," the eyewitness adds. "She looked wobbly – I guess it could have been the heels since she was wearing sky-high nude pumps, but she did seem out of it."
After neglecting to pay the valet (who had to chase her down for the $8 charge), Bynes, who looked quite thin according to the witness, and a male friend went into SUR restaurant and bar.
The actress also took part in last week's Coachella activities. A source tells PEOPLE she showed up at Nylon's Voli vodka-sponsored Coachella party on Saturday.

The Federal Financial Consumer Protection Agency: A New Era of Protection or More of the Same?
Vincent DiLorenzo
St. John's University - School of Law
September 8, 2010
St. John's Legal Studies Research Paper No. 10-0182
In 2007 and 2008 Professor Elizabeth Warren proposed a new federal consumer financial protection agency. The aim was to ensure the financial products consumers purchase meet minimum safety standards. That proposal has become part of the Dodd – Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This article explores whether the Act will usher in a new era of robust consumer protection. The focus of this article is on consumer protection in the mortgage markets. Its study of the mortgage markets occurs in an environment in which two public policy approaches were embraced and tested in the last three decades: a principle – based approach to regulation and a net societal benefits standard as the threshold for regulatory intervention.
Part One of this article explores market outcomes in the 1982 to 2009 era of principles- based regulation. Contrary to the predicted benefit of congruence with the legislative purposes of safe and sound mortgage lending and fairness in lending transactions, this regulatory approach led to a significant increase in offerings of unsafe and unsound lending products, as well as unfair products. The Dodd – Frank Act alters the regulatory structure through the re-embrace of a rules-based standard for mortgage market operations, in the form of mandatory underwriting standards and specified, prescribed conduct. However, experience has demonstrated that a change in regulatory approach can more effectively lead to legislative congruence only if combined with enforcement measures that convince industry members that compliance is wise from a cost-benefit perspective. Industry cost-benefit evaluations, before and after the Dodd-Frank Act, are explored in Part three of this article.
Part Two of the article examines outcomes in a regulatory regime that has embraced a net societal benefits threshold for regulatory intervention. The mortgage market experience in the post-1994 period is explored. It reveals that a net societal benefits threshold for regulatory intervention can easily lead to inaction on the part of regulatory agencies. In the long-term, the mortgage markets witnessed the evaporation of the net societal benefits that had led to regulatory inaction in the period prior to 2009. The Dodd – Frank Act reaffirms the legislative goal of fairness in credit market transactions but then, for the first time, expressly embraces a net societal benefits threshold for future regulatory interventions. This calls into question the likelihood that the new Consumer Financial Protection Agency will adequately protect consumers against future abusive lending practices.

An All-New, All-Aluminum Ardun
So, you've checked out the pictures and it's dawned on you that what you're looking at is a fully polished, all-aluminum blown Ardun engine. Pretty exciting stuff, which is exactly what we thought when Mike Herman at H&H Flatheads contacted us with news of the engine's build. H&H specializes in building performance-oriented Flatheads and supplying vintage-style speed equipment, as well as manufacturing and distributing Navarro speed equipment and S.Co.T. superchargers, but this was the first of the new aluminum block and reproduction head-equipped Arduns they'd built. New blocks and heads? Yeah, but let's rewind a little first.
Much has been written about the legendary Ardun Flathead conversion over the years-some truth, some myth, and some hearsay. A very brief history goes something like this: In 1947, years before his involvement with the Corvette, Zora Arkus-Duntov, along with his brother, Yura, designed an overhead conversion for the Ford Flathead V-8, marketing them as Ardun-an acronym of their second name, originally manufactured in New York and later assembled in England and fitted to many Allard sports cars, hence the confusing differences in the script cast into the valve covers. Whether they were or were not intended for use on Ford trucks, and whether they were or were not copied from the French Talbot design, and why they are so similar to the early Chrysler Hemi are all points that have been argued before. Likewise, the exact number of kits manufactured is up for debate, as well; for the longest time it was thought to be around 250 but now seems more like 400. Whatever, originals are rare, which explains why a select few individuals have looked into reproducing them.
What you see here, however, isn't just a pair of reproduction heads atop a Ford block but instead a brand-new, 284ci, all-aluminum improved block, reproduction Ardun heads, and vintage 4-71 blower (the only old part on the whole deal) bolted to a new manifold from Ken Austin. Yeah, you should be impressed. And, how about 382 hp at 5,300 rpm, roughly four times that of a stock Flathead? We've seen the dyno sheet, which also reveals the 396.9 lb-ft of torque produced at 4,300 rpm.
Just where did this engine come from? The story starts around a decade ago with Don Orosco, who after a lot of research and a not-inconsiderable investment, had 30 sets of Ardun heads reproduced for his personal racing efforts. Keeping three sets, he sold the remaining 27 and then sold the tooling, dies, and plans to Don Ferguson Jr. You can find out more at Don's Web site, www.ardun.com.
Though parts will interchange with originals, these new heads feature stronger rocker stands and billet aluminum roller rockers with improved geometry and internal oiling restrictors, as well as greater adjustability. The new valve springs facilitate increased valve lift, plus the lifters are an improved design over the originals. Modern 12mm spark plugs seat flush with the hemispherical chamber, meaning they'll work better with modern ignitions. It should be remembered that, although the Ardun has gained cult status over the years, the Arkus-Duntovs didn't have the money for fancy engineering and were working to a tight schedule as well as the restraints of the Ford engine block. So, there is room for a little improvement over the original design, especially taking into account the advances in technology and engineering in the intervening 60 years!
Not only has Don Ferguson continued to reproduce the heads, but he's taken the baton and run with it, the result being this high-grade 356-T6 aluminum block that now means it's possible to own a complete, brand-new Ardun engine with no old parts whatsoever. Sure, it's not cheap (really not cheap), but when was pushing the envelope ever inexpensive?
So, where's this work of art going to end up? In a '32 Vicky being put together at Roy Brizio Street Rods for Jorge Zaragoza. H&H Flatheads in La Crescenta, California, has built a number of Flatheads for Brizio, and when this one was first discussed it was intended to be a relatively simple four-carb version. Then, Jorge supplied a 4-71 blower and backplate, and the project snowballed. H&H's Mike Herman sold the four-jug inlet and pistons to another customer and supplied a set of blower pistons for Jorge. The aluminum blocks became available, and the idea of a fully polished blown engine was too good to pass up. The rest is history.
The Polishing Shop in Oxnard was responsible for the shine, H&H responsible for the incredible buildup and machining. The inlet manifold, for instance, is supplied blank, to the extent that the top has to be opened up, the mounting holes require drilling, and the pop-off valve has to be fitted, but you're going to go to Ken Austin if you want a 4-71 blower manifold for an Ardun! The blower required reconditioning, and the original Cragar snout had to be machined and fitted with new seals.
H&H put an incredible amount of work into this engine and it shows, down to details like the three individual belts driving the blower rather than one single wide belt, just to keep a nostalgic appearance. Or, the Offy crankcase breathers that required the fins on the brand-new oil pan to be carefully machined away in the area they're fitted. And, how about those aluminum water pumps? They're sourced from Australia and are now available from H&H, as indeed are all the parts mentioned in this article. There's also an exceptional amount of machining internally that was handled in-house in order to make everything work. We can't wait to see this showpiece installed and running in Jorge's Vicky.
Rod & Custom Specifications
New 356 high-grade aluminium by Don Ferguson at Ardun Enterprises and polished by The Polishing Shop in Oxnard, California. Four-bolt center main cap.
Ardun Enterprises. Polished 356 grade aluminum, and 11/32-inch-stem stainless steel valves, refined combustion chambers, billet roller rockers with built-in oiling, barrel-drilled rocker shafts, small-block Chevy valve keepers, ARP head studs, and mechanical lifters. The intake and exhaust ports have been improved over original Arduns. The heads are supplied finish-machined, but with the horsepower the guys were aiming for, H&H put its own valve job in them and shimmed the springs accordingly. In fact, everything in the motor was disassembled, touched in some way, and rebuilt. While the heads are supplied ready to go, the guys at H&H went through everything.
A Scat 4-1/8-inch crank was chosen, which coupled with the 3-5/16-inch bore and custom flat-top Ross 1/8-inch over stock pistons results in a displacement of 284 ci. Scat H-beam rods were used, and H&H custom-ground a fresh camshaft using a new cam core.
Vintage 4-71 supercharger rebuilt, polished, and modified by H&H Flatheads to remove stock mounting lugs and mount from underneath with studs in the lower flange to a new Ardun-specific inlet manifold by Ken Austin. Vintage Cragar blower snout machined and rebuilt with new seals. Three new Stromberg 97 carburetors.
Polished aluminum water pumps, pulley, and front cover. New finned and polished aluminum oil pan from Don Ferguson drilled for Offy crankcase breathers and fitted with aluminum baffle plate. Polished PowerGEN alternator on custom bracketry by H&H. MSD distributor.

Traumatic experience can induce lasting changes to abused children's gene regulation that can last through adulthood, putting them at high risk of anxiety and mood disorders. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry report that genetic variants of the FKBP5 gene, an important regulator of the stress hormone system, can influence epigenetic alterations in this gene induced by early trauma.
The team found that in individuals with a certain allele of FKBP5, trauma causes long-term changes in DNA methylation. This demethylation was linked to increased stress-dependent gene transcription followed by a long-term dysregulation of the stress hormone system and a global effect on the function of immune cells and brain areas associated with stress regulation. As a result, those affected find themselves less able to cope with stressful situations throughout their lives, frequently leading to depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or anxiety disorders in adulthood.
Research group leader Elisabeth Binder of the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry examined the DNA of almost 2,000 Afro-Americans who had been repeatedly and severely traumatized as adults or in childhood. One-third of trauma victims had become ill and were now suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. The risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder rose with increasing severity of abuse only in the carriers of a specific genetic variant in the FKBP5 gene. The scientists hoped to cast light on the mechanisms of this gene-environment interaction by comparing modifications of the DNA sequence of victims who had not become ill with that of those who had.
The scientists were then able to demonstrate that the genetic FKBP5 variant does make a physiological difference to those affected, as seen in nerve cells. Extreme stress and the associated high concentrations of stress hormones bring about an epigenetic change. A methyl group is broken off the DNA at this point, causing a marked increase in FKBP5 activity. This lasting epigenetic change is generated primarily through childhood traumatization. Consequently, no disease-related demethylation of the FKBP5 gene was detected in participants who were traumatized in adulthood only.
"Depending on genetic predisposition, childhood trauma can leave permanent epigenetic marks on the DNA," explains Torsten Klengel, M.D., one of the study authors. "The consequence is a permanent dysregulation of the victim's stress hormone system, which can ultimately lead to psychiatric illness. Decisive for victims of childhood abuse, however, is that the stress-induced epigenetic changes can only occur if their DNA has a specific sequence."
The investogators say this study improves our understanding of psychiatric illnesses that arise from the interaction of environmental and genetic factors. The study was published online yesterday in Nature Neuroscience under the title "Allele-specific FKBP5 DNA demethylation mediates gene–childhood trauma interactions".

Mary Ruth Smith, 71, of Altoona was surprised when she was notified that her insurance company would not pay two medical bills.
She had a routine test and the insurance company had always paid for it in the past. Smith, a retired pastor, receives health care benefits through the policy her husband acquired from his employer. She also has Medicare coverage.
"When you are on Medicare, your supplemental plan is primary and Medicare is secondary," she said, explaining that the insurance company should pay the bill.

(Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec) APPRISE coordinator Jennifer Park (left) shows seniors (from left) Patty Marx, Mary Ruth Smith and Vergie Shannon some information about supplemental health insurance. Seniors will have an opportunity during open enrollment to change their Medicare Advantage Plan or prescription coverage.
"We were at an impasse," she said.
To straighten out the problem, Smith consulted with Jennifer Park, APPRISE coordinator for Blair Senior Services.
Using a speaker phone, Park set up a conference call with the insurance provider, Smith and herself. The mix-up occurred when the hospital outsourced the reading of the test results and the insurance company thought the test was conducted out of network. But the doctor and hospital administering the test were in-network.

Times for open enrollment help
APPRISE counselors will be available by appointment at the following locations to assist Medicare beneficiaries in deciding on a Prescription Drug or Medicare Advantage Plan for 2013. Times are:
9 a.m. To 3 p.m. Oct. 15, 22 and 29, Central Blair Senior Center
9 a.m to 3 p.m. Nov. 5, 12, 19 and 26, Central Blair Senior Center
9 a.m. To 3 p.m. Dec. 3, Central Blair Senior Center
9 a.m. To 1 p.m. Nov. 22, Claysburg Senior Center
9 a.m. To 3 p.m. Nov. 29, Northern Blair Senior Center
To schedule an appointment, call 946-1235.
"All parties are happy. The bills are paid," Smith said. "It felt so good."
She is among the thousands of seniors who come to the center each year, seeking answers about supplemental insurance and Medicare through the APPRISE program.
For retirees or soon-to-be retirees, making a decision that once was made by their employer can be mind-boggling. Many sift through the pamphlets, letters and brochures that stuff their mailboxes, unsure of which plan from companies vying for their dollars is best for them.
Others, especially those who plan to retire in a few years or whose health insurance is provided by a working spouse, are unaware they need to sign up for Medicare at age 65 or face a penalty.
But seniors have somewhere to turn through APPRISE, a statewide program to assist them in reviewing insurance information.
In Blair County, APPRISE is at the Central Blair Senior Center of Blair Senior Services, 1320 12th Ave. The free health insurance counseling program offers counselors to meet with seniors on a one-on-one basis to answer questions about Medicare, supplemental insurance and long-term care insurance. Although the counselors do not make recommendations, they do explain what the various supplemental plans provide so the senior can make an educated decision.
"People don't understand the Medicare booklet," said Margaret Greene of Altoona, who has been an APPRISE volunteer for about 10 years. "They are afraid of making a mistake."
Park and her team of APPRISE volunteers are available throughout the year, but answer a lot of questions during Medicare Open Enrollment, a period when seniors either enroll in supplemental insurance or make changes by signing up for a different policy, switching to another insurance company or changing or Medicare Part D (prescription coverage).
The open enrollment program begins Oct. 15 and ends Dec. 7. Once the period ends, seniors have to wait another year to make changes in coverage.
Enrolling in a Medicare Advantage Plan is often beneficial because Medicare Part A only pays for hospital or nursing home care on a short-term basis.
Retirees pay a monthly fee for Medicare Part B which includes doctor visits, outpatient treatments and tests. Medicare Part D covers prescriptions. APPRISE can help with Advantage Plan and prescription services.
Vergie Shannon of Altoona was able to find a plan that met her needs using the service. Shannon, who also is an APPRISE volunteer, said her original supplement insurance plan was good, but the rates kept going up. She said APPRISE was able to find her a less expensive plan and she no longer has a copay on her prescriptions.
Patty Marx of Altoona consulted with APPRISE about prescription programs several months before her 65th birthday.
"I never knew it was here, and I lived her all my life," Marx said. "I thought people came here for lunch" she said of the center.
Now Marx assists Park by volunteering to do office duties such as scheduling appointments and calling consumers with answers to their questions.
Questions vary because each situation is unique. One senior may need health insurance coverage that pays for physical therapy while someone else may want protection when they travel.
"Everytime I turn around, I see something I not seen before," said counselor John Vellone, a retired insurance representative who had owned his own agency.
"I understand the complications of Medicare as well as the other programs," he said, adding that he had to deal with them in his work.
He said when seniors approach age 65, they get stacks of information in the mail from insurance companies about supplemental insurance.
"They are asked to read it, understand it and make a decision. It is not always easy," he said.
Jessica Lippert, APPRISE program support manager for Pennsylvania, said more seniors are working past age 65 because the age of eligibility for full Social Security retirement benefits has been bumped up. However, those workers still need to alert the Social Security office at age 65 about their Medicare choice, even if they intend to continue using health insurance benefits received through their employer.
She said otherwise, they could face a penalty when they apply for Medicare Part B.
Lippert, whose office is based at Central Blair Seniors Center, said someone intending to work past age 65 can inform Social Security online, by phone or visit the local office.
With all the changes in health care insurance options, Park said APPRISE is seeing an increase in the number of seniors asking for its guidance, and more volunteers are welcome. She said last year, the Blair County office served 2,754 people and the telecenter assisted 1,478 people. By the end of August, the office has served 2,086 people and assisted 950 people in the telecenter.
"This job is a challenge," she said. "I enjoy learning the volumes of information and presenting it in a way that people can understand it. They learn from it. Take it home and know what to do with it."

5 Things You Don't Learn About High School Until Too Late
#2. Pep Rallies Are Commercials
I'm guessing that a good chunk of our audience already went through high school thinking sports were lame and pointless. Or at least they thought that about the hype that surrounds sports -- the whole school stopping everything for homecoming, grown men who don't even have kids on the team showing up at the games and screaming their heads off, banners and decorations around town celebrating some victory or other. Well, there's a reason for all that.
"This totally won't be the last time a whole room of people celebrates our ability to throw a ball."
Take pep rallies, for instance. Most pep rallies are phrased as "We're all here to get our team pumped up and ready for tonight's game." But does it make sense to pull hundreds of people out of class to cheer for 10 basketball players several hours before the game even starts? The reason it doesn't is because what they're saying isn't entirely the truth. It's not so much about "team spirit" as it is "please buy a ticket and some popcorn and some sodas and some team merchandise." They're not trying to get the team pumped up. They're trying to get you pumped up, because the games need to make money.
"I'm worth a fortune to everyone but me."
That's most of the reason sports teams still exist. Forget about "it promotes healthy competition" or "it teaches the value of teamwork." That may be true for the dozen or so guys on the court or field or diamond, but it means nothing to the several hundred (or several thousand, if you live in a big city) people in the bleachers, looking at their watches and waiting for that last bell to ring. No, sports are still around because they bring money not only to the school, but to the entire town.
They're not doing it because they're evil, greedy corporate scumbags. They're doing it because public schools regularly get financially screwed by the state, and if they want to make any of their cut funds back, they have to do it where they can: sports, dances, candy bar sales, black market gun running.
"I guess 10 dollars isn't too bad for a candy bar if it helps some kids."
If I Had to Go Back ...
I'd demand a speaking role in the pep rally. "Alright! Yeah! How are we all doin' this afternoon? By round of applause, who's all going to the game tonight? That doesn't sound like everyone -- looks like we have a few racists in the audience, am I right, coach? Maybe we should change the team name to 'The Racists' so we can get some of these people out there to show their team some support. But you know I kid, coach. Hey, speaking of kids, by round of applause, who here is pregnant? I don't see you clapping, Sarah Greene!"
#1. Nobody Has Any Clue What They're Talking About
Everybody has an opinion, and never in my life have I heard people so eager to express those opinions than when I was in high school. The reason is fairly simple. For the first 15 years, you've been shaped and molded by your environment. Everything about your life has been influenced by the people you know and respect -- even the really stupid ones. Once you step into your teenage years, biology switches gears and you start to think for yourself. It's nature's way of grabbing you by the neck and suplexing you out of the nest.
"I might risk death in the Marine Corps, but at least I won't have to do any dishes."
Your brain kicks into overdrive with swarms of brand new thoughts that seem so unique and interesting. Every other day you have a new epiphany. You want to share these revelations with everyone you know, because for the first time, you're seeing the world for what it really is, and it seems like everybody else is blind to it. "Why is she listening to that song? Can she not hear how much it sucks? I have to tell her right now; otherwise, how will she ever know? I have to save her!"
Like many of these examples, the resulting annoyance isn't your fault. If you haven't learned the following by now, you will very soon: Nature has horrible timing. Just ask the 12-year-old with the horrified look on his face why he can't walk up to the chalkboard. In the case of opinionated teens, the bad timing comes in the form of the thoughts coming to you before the experience. Your new ability to process information and form opinions based on interaction with your peers hits you right while you're still in that high school bubble, sealed up with the ring of people you grew up with. You won't realize how skewed a picture of the world you have until five years later, when even your opinion on opinions will turn 180 degrees.
Soon she'll be lecturing her own kids about maxing out credit cards on music downloads.
Eventually, you find that the opinions you used to have weren't actually your opinions at all, but rather a soupy puddle of other people's regurgitated ideas that sounded cool at the time. That doesn't make you a blind follower. It makes you human. We all go through it. It's part of growing up. If we didn't understand it, none of us would have ever made it to adulthood, because society would have set us on fire long before puberty.
So with that idea in mind, apply it to every person in your entire school, and then try to step back out of the picture and see it with neutral eyes. In the broad picture, everybody has been doing the same exact thing as everyone else for the last 15 years. Everything has revolved around school and building what little social life they can when they're not in class. Because of that, nobody has any more experience than you. Not in any measurable, meaningful way.
Except for that one kid whose dad totally let him party in Vegas.
Since opinions are so tightly bound to experience, it means that every one of their sentences that makes you roll your eyes carries the same exact weight as your own. But don't let that get you down. A few years after graduation, it'll all make sense. Maybe you can pass this article along to your own teenage relatives and watch them roll their eyes. You'll get a good chuckle out of it, and then you can sit back and watch the cycle start all over again with them.

The Journal of Wealth Management, Spring 2007
In this paper we update our 2006 white paper "A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation" with new data from the 2008-2012 period. How well did the purpose of the original paper – to present a simple quantitative method that improves the risk-adjusted returns across various asset classes – hold up since publication? Overall, we find that the models have performed well in real-time, achieving equity like returns with bond like volatility and drawdowns. We also examine the effects of departures from the original system including adding more asset classes, introducing various portfolio allocations, and implementing alternative cash management strategies.

A woman who claimed she was pulled over and then robbed by someone she said was impersonating a police officer in rural Montgomery County has been arrested for filing a false police report and obstructing justice.
Montgomery County Undersheriff Rick Robbins said Cheri Frisbie, 29, of Hillsboro told Montgomery County sheriff's deputies Tuesday she had been pulled over by a black, unmarked car on Illinois 16 between Irving and Witt. She said the impersonator brandished a semi-automatic pistol and robbed her.
Robbins said several law enforcement agencies combed the area but were unable to find evidence of the unmarked car or a suspect. During the investigation, Frisbie admitted to police the incident never happened. She said she'd had a panic attack and needed to be with someone.
She's being held in Montgomery County pending formal charges.

New opportunities and the return of some favorite events will be featured this fall at the Beverly Heritage Center.
A full schedule of activities is planned for October through Christmas.
The Beverly Heritage Center's new manager, Darryl DeGripp, is seeking assistance with stories for the first Beverly Lantern Tours in October.
"We invite Beverly and area residents to share stories with us of those who have gone before," DeGripp said. "Our lantern tours will feature a variety of stories related to Beverly's historic homes and community heritage."
Led by Beverly resident Karl Mulac and other docents in period costume, the Lantern Tours are set for this Saturday and Oct. 27. They will explore the darker side of Beverly's historic district. Tours will leave from the Beverly Heritage Center each evening at 7:30 p.m. and will last about an hour and a half. Tickets will be $10 for adults, and $5 for Beverly Heritage Center members and children younger than 12.
On Nov. 10, the Beverly Heritage Center will feature the popular Night at the Museum event. Museum characters will come to life in the exhibits during this reception with hearty hors d'oeuvres and favorite beverages. The fundraiser is from 6 to 9 p.m., with tickets $25 in advance and $30 at the door.
"Every year we feature some new characters and activities during this event," DeGripp said. "First-time attendees will be charmed, and returning participants will find some surprising new activities."
DeGripp started in September as operations director for the Beverly Heritage Center. A graduate of West Virginia University in interior design with a master's in public history, DeGripp helped create the Morgantown History Museum and sits on the board of the West Virginia Association of Museums.
"We had a number of very qualified candidates for the position," said Phyllis Baxter, president of Historic Beverly Preservation. "Darryl's wide range of work experience, excellent credentials and commitment to the position made him clearly the best choice, and we are delighted to welcome him to the team at the Beverly Heritage Center."
The Beverly Heritage Center combines four historic buildings into one heritage attraction offering museum exhibits, gift shop, archives and visitor information. Operating partners in the Beverly Heritage Center are Historic Beverly Preservation and Rich Mountain Battlefield Foundation.
Off-season hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Monday, with other days and hours by appointment. For more information about the Beverly Heritage Center or fall events, anyone interested can visit www.beverlyheritagecenter.org, email DeGripp at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 304-637-7424.

WAILUKU - The Maui County Council on Friday gave final approval to legislation that would do away with the long-standing waiting list for water meters Upcountry.
The council voted 5-2 in favor of the measure, which will set a last day to sign up for the waiting list. Council Members Gladys Baisa, Bob Carroll, Elle Cochran, Don Couch and Mike White voted to advance the bill, while Council Chairman Danny Mateo and Council Member Joe Pontanilla voted against it. (Council Members Riki Hokama and Mike Victorino were excused.)
Mateo and Pontanilla had instead favored deferring the bill to the upcoming council term that begins Jan. 2, allowing for the Board of Water Supply to review the measure at an upcoming meeting.
The measure, which still requires the mayor's signature, is part of a package of three bills put forward by the water department to deal with the waiting list. The list, established in 1994, included nearly 1,500 applicants as of June 30.
Department of Water Supply Director Dave Taylor has said that the department can eliminate the list by maximizing the use of surface water in Upcountry while implementing conservation incentives.
By establishing a last day to sign up, the department can then offer water meters to those on the priority list - in order - over an estimated two to three years.
Taylor has said that meeting the needs of all applicants on the waiting list will require an additional 3.5 million gallons a day. But, the department estimates that only half of those on the list have an immediate need for a meter.
"This is a way to put an end to the era of this list constraining us," Taylor told the council Friday. "There's a difficulty with people who are on the same street, who are separated on the list, who can't combine their financial abilities to do site improvements. If we can get to a point in the future where this list does not constrain anyone, we won't have that problem anymore."
A second bill would authorize the water director - with the approval of the mayor - to declare periods of water shortages countywide that would trigger higher water rates to encourage conservation.
While that measure was approved and passed out of the Water Resources Committee, the council voted 5-2 Friday to refer it back to next year's council chair.
The third measure would establish tiers of higher drought rates during declared water shortage periods. That bill has yet to go before the council's Budget and Finance Committee.
In other action Friday, the council voted on second and final reading to:
* Amend the fiscal 2013 budget to include $5.2 million in general obligation bond funding for the Waikamoi Flume replacement project.
Pontanilla, chairman of the Budget and Finance Committee, noted that the additional funds were needed because budgeted money from the state Department of Health ended up only funding 60 percent of the work.
* Authorize parks security officers to issue citations and to prohibit unauthorized activity in county parks.
* Nanea Kalani can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

PFF audience goes crazy over Goon 10/21/11
Last night at the Ritz East Theater, the 20th Anniversary Philadelphia Film Festival was honored to host the US premiere of Goon. If you consider yourself a fan of hockey even in the slightest, you MUST see this movie.
Directed by Michael Dowse (Take Me Home Tonight), the film centers on lovable loser Doug Glatt (played by Seann William Scott) who, much to his chagrin, seems to only be good at one thing in life: beating the living crap out of people.

An average household on Maui could see its water fees based on usage rise by at least $4.37 a month under a worst-case scenario in a declared emergency water shortage, according to a rate structure proposed by Mayor Alan Arakawa's administration.
The higher fees are intended to curb consumption when emergency water benchmarks are achieved and an emergency water shortage is declared. Both the emergency rate schedule and the power to declare a water shortage emergency are currently before the County Council.
Dave Taylor, director of the Department of Water Supply, explained that the emergency rates are based on proposed regular water rate increases, announced by the mayor in his State of the County address in February. The emergency rates ranged from 25 to 100 percent higher than the mayor's proposed higher regular water rates, based on the amount of water used and severity of the shortage.
The Maui News arrived at the $4.37 a month increase using current rates and 16,000 gallons a month, which Taylor said is the amount an average Maui County household uses. For the first 5,000 gallons used, the rate rises from $1.75 to $1.80 per thousand gallons under the worst-case scenario. From 5,001 to 15,000 gallons, the rate goes from the current $3.20 to $3.35 per thousand gallons. The cost of the final 1,000 gallons rises from the current $4.80 to $7.42 per thousand gallons.
The increase is $4.37 a month under the worst-case emergency scenario. This is for a 5/8-inch meter and does not include the water meter service charge.
Taylor took issue with this methodology, saying the comparison of the current water use rates to the administration's proposed water shortage rates was not quite comparing apples to apples and noted that the water department determined its emergency water shortage rates based on its proposed regular rates, which have not been approved by the council.
Fact Box
This chart shows current water rates and proposed higher rates and the proposed emergency rates to be imposed during declared water shortages. These rates apply to single-family homes in Maui County and are intended to encourage water conversation during water shortages. Water shortage emergencies have two stages, with "Stage 2" being the most severe. Use of up to 5,000 gallons is billed at the lowest rates, with rates increasing for use of additional water.
|Water used
|Stage 1
|Stage 2
|0-5,000 gallons
|35,001, above
*Per 1,000 gallons
He did point out that the proposed higher water rates during water shortages are not intended to penalize those who already conserve water. The higher rates during water shortages are to get larger consumers of water to conserve more during dire situations, he said.
Some highlights of the proposed water shortage rates under the worst-case scenario:
* Single-family users will be charged $11.30 per thousand gallons, up from the current $5.25, for water usage above 35,000 gallons.
* Farmers who use more than 15,000 gallons a month will see rates climb from $1.10 to $1.38 per thousand gallons. Agricultural users had only 10 to 20 percent increases based on the proposed regular rate increases, Taylor said.
* Hotel and business users who use more than 15,000 gallons per month will see their rates rise from $4.80 to $7.42 per thousand gallons.
Asked if he thought that the proposed water shortage rates will get people to conserve water during emergencies, Taylor said: "We recognize there is no way to calculate exactly what will work or what won't."
He added that during the declared shortages, the county is planning to conduct "media blitzes" to inform people of the higher rates and why they are occurring.
The proposed emergency rates are part of Arakawa's 2013-2014 budget, which is currently under review by the Maui County Council.
The council's Budget and Finance Committee is scheduled to begin its deliberations on rates and fees, which includes the water shortage rates, beginning at 10 a.m. Thursday in Council Chambers at the Kalana O Maui building.
While the committee will decide the water shortage rates, the proposed bill that will give the water director, with the approval of the mayor, the power to declare water shortages based on established benchmarks is currently in the council Water Resources Committee. The emergency rates would be triggered by the water shortage declaration.
The chairman of the Water Resources Committee, Mike Victorino, said last week that he is seeking to schedule a meeting on the bill in the next 30 days, so that legislation can be in place when the county's new rates and fees are set to go into effect July 1.
The bill, proposed by the county's administration, seeks to give the water director the authority to declare water shortages not only for drought conditions but for mechanical failure, human error and natural disasters.
Victorino said he doesn't like some of the rates proposed but didn't elaborate. He said that more work is needed on the bill so that the public can "understand what it means."
Victorino questioned the fairness of billing people for water shortages that occur due to mechanical failure or human error.
"How do we start charging people?" he questioned.
Victorino also noted that he wanted to protect farmers and ranchers from being hit hard. He suggested maybe not imposing the water shortage rate increases on that group until 60 or 90 days into a declared shortage. That would allow the farmers to "wind down" or harvest their crops.
Taylor noted that the administration understands that residents can let their lawns dry up by not watering them but that water is essential for agricultural users. That is why the water shortage rate hikes are not as high for agricultural users, he said.
Victorino added that he wants to make sure that the mayor's administration would quickly meet with the council after an emergency water shortage declaration. He wants the administration to show the council and the public what kinds of remediation measures were underway and to give updates as to how long the emergency situation will last.
"We are going to work hard to (get) what I call a fair and reasonable water shortage bill, so no one is adversely affected," he said.
