By conducting a military coup on July 3, 2013 the Egyptian military acted to diffuse the near-insurrectionary outpouring of millions during June 30 Tamarod (Rebel) protests demanding an end to the discredited Muslim Brotherhood government of president Muhammad Morsi.
It is now five months since the generals "kidnapped" the revolution, as Fatma Ramadan, Egyptian Federation of Independent Trade Unions (EFITU) executive board member it, and confusion, disorientation and even demoralization is the dividend.
The mass movement to achieve real democratic reforms has definitely been sidetracked by military-annointed, plodding government bureaucrats, many from the Mubarak-era, continuously emphasizing work, discipline and order – for others, not themselves.
Polls indicate most Egyptians still cannot identify the names of these shadowy civilian apparatchiks, including neither the president nor the prime minister. Continue reading

You've reached Nancy Andrews, the photographer, digital news editor, multimedia editor and graduate of the University of Virginia.
There are so many talented women named Nancy Andrews floating around on the Internet. Just so you know: I am not the body builder (though I do Bikram Yoga). I am not the doctor, though I could be the SEO specialist, but I generally only use that to benefit Freep.com.
I am the photographer and editor. I'm fortunate to have a career telling people's stories and working for great news organizations, each serving their particular community: The Free Lance-Star, The Washington Post and the Detroit Free Press.
As Detroit Free Press managing editor/digital media I am part of a wonderful newsroom full of talented and dedicated journalists serving the people of Detroit and Michigan. We strive to keep our community informed with the latest news, sports, features and conversation. We seek to surprise and engage, as well as serve as the watchdog for Southeast Michigan.
At Freep.com we've built on our long history of photojournalism and expanded our vision to include video. We've won four Emmy Awards from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and an Edward R. Murrow Award. Two recent projects:
Prior to the Free Press, you could find me at The Washington Post where I was a staff photographer for 10 years. I was fortunate to recognized for my work and named White House Photographer of the Year in 1998 and Newspaper Photographer of the Year by the University of Missouri and the National Press Photographers Association in 1997.
HarperCollins published my first book, "Family: A Portrait of Gay and Lesbian America," in 1994. The work portrayed gay and lesbian people from across America -- from Elvis impersonators to Congressmen to cowboys and stock brokers to activists to choir members, to teenagers to a 93-year-old. The Corcoran Gallery of Art held an exhibition of the entire work in the summer of 1994. I am so thankful for all the people who agreed to participate in that book and tell their story. You've helped me and others grow.
In 1998, Southern Methodist University Press published, "Partial View: An Alzheimer's Journal," which told the story of Dr. Cary Smith Henderson as he descended into the depths of the disease. His wife, Ruth Henderson, and daughter, Jackie Henderson Main and I edited his words and into a book meant for other families and people with Alzheimer's disease. The images and thoughts were exhibited at the Newseum in 1998.
My partner Annie O'Neill and I have been together ten years and recently married at Hulse Landing Beach on Long Island. She's photographer as well and we love making pictures together. We also brought an historic home back to life in Pittsburgh's Mexican War Streets National Historic District. Our building, that we like to call "Bertha," earned herself recognition from the Pennsylvania Historical Preservation Society. In Detroit, we live in another National Historic District, "Indian Village." We try to do our part to keep up these homes and preserve a bit of history.

A Notre Dame-Alabama BCS championship game would mark the first meeting between the storied programs since 1987, and the biggest since the 1973 Sugar Bowl.
That year, coach Bear Bryant's Crimson Tide was No. 1 and Ara Parseghian's Irish were No. 3 when they met in New Orleans. The lead changed hands six times and Notre Dame won it 24-23 and was voted No. 1 in the poll to win the national championship.
Now the question is: With two more weeks to go in college football's regular season, can the Irish and Tide calm the chaos and set up what could be the most-hyped national championship game in history?
Stay tuned.

John Maynard Keynes: the economist as saviour 1920-1937In the first volume of his towering biography of Britain's greatest economist, Robert Skidelsky gave a frank and detailed exposition of how John Maynard Keynes came to concern himself with the practical problems of his age and exert a profound influence upon them. In this eagerly awaited second volume, the highly praised biographer takes up the story after the controversial publication of Keynes's The Economic Consequences of the Peace. The First World War had destroyed the essential props of the international economic and political system. There was to be no sustained recovery, but a slide into economic depression, the rise of totalitarianism, and another huge-scale war. Setting Keynes and his ideas firmly in context, Skidelsky shows the importance of world events in shaping his life, and provides stringent analysis of the economist's concentrated assault on conventional fiscal wisdom: his attacks on reparations policy and the return to the pre-war gold standard, but above all, his formation of a new economic philosophy. The rarefied Bloomsbury world in which Keynes had been involved was irrelevant in the postwar world. Keynes could not remain there if he was to launch a revolution in economic statesmanship. His marriage in 1925 to Diaghilev's Russian ballerina Lydia Lopokova shocked Bloomsbury, who saw it as a rejection of all they stood for. Skidelsky shows with sympathy and insight how essential this marriage was to his public work. |

As I walked down Lafayette Street in Jamestown, I heard the whistle of the approaching train, a sound not heard for far too many years. I opened the door and entered the train station - it looked as I remembered it 75-plus years ago. I sat down on one of the benches, as alien to the human back now as it was then. The station was bustling with humanity of all ages, sizes, and shapes, reminiscent of an era of which my middle-aged offspring have no knowledge or recollection.
We go about our daily lives, unmindful for the most part of what has transpired in the past which has brought us to where we are today. Jamestown would not be what it is today without the trains which passed through, stopping to load and unload people and goods before proceeding to their final destinations.
The first train, the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad, chugged into Brooklyn Square on August 25, 1860. Jamestown was still a village, growing steadily, but very slowly. Following the close of the Civil War in 1865, the railroad was a major factor in bringing the large numbers of European immigrants to the area. Among those immigrants were inventors and entrepreneurs who established industries. And the railroad also brought workers for those industries. Most importantly, it also supplied the transportation to take the finished products to eager markets throughout the country and elsewhere throughout the world. By 1886, Jamestown had increased sufficiently in population to incorporate as a city, continuing to grow and flourish until after WWII.
Heraclitus, in the 5th-6th centuries BCE, opined that the only constant in life is change...nothing remains the same, not even from one moment to the next, one can never step into the same river twice.
The trains began to leave as a number of the major industries left. Trucks and airplanes gradually supplanted the trains that remained. The passenger trains ceased first; freight trains gradually diminished and ultimately also ceased. Grass, shrubs, small trees sprouted up along the unused tracks which remained as a reminder of the very recent past. The railroad station became a "ghost town," left to gather dust, used only for some storage.
Fortunately, many civic leaders were not content to let the train station stand empty and unused , gradually deteriorating to an inevitable demise. A number of possibilities were discussed and explored. However, the neglected train station, built in 1932, was in great need of repair and cosmetic revitalization. This required lots of those pesky dollars which are so hard to come by. Undaunted, those civic leaders and others pursued and ultimately succeeded in acquiring a sufficient number of those pesky dollars to restore the railroad station to a useful entity in the community's daily life.
We owe much to their foresight, faith, and persistence.
The train station is another piece in the renaissance of downtown Jamestown. It will not be the same train station as before, even though it looks the same. It will take on a new life, one as valuable and vital and vibrant as its predecessor. It will teem with people engaged in their normal daily routine tasks. And it will again welcome visitors and newcomers to a community that is alive and well and thriving.
Who knows? Someday it may even welcome trains announcing their approach with a whistle.

ARMY OF SHADOWS 4 stars. Jean-Pierre Melville's taut 1969 study of the French Resistance movement during World War II — and a small band of men (and a few women) who risked to fight the Nazi occupation — is nothing short of a masterpiece. 2 hrs. 25 No MPAA rating (violence, profanity, adult themes) — Steven Rea.
THE BREAK-UP 2 stars. Though the Vince Vaughn-Jennifer Aniston vehicle is marketed as a romantic comedy, this war of nerves is a mostly melancholy saga about a prickly pair who would rather play head games than house. Comic support comes from Jon Favreau and Judy Davis. 1 hr. 47 PG-13 (brief nudity, profanity, sexual candor) —Carrie Rickey

Copper edged towards the psychologically important $7,000-per-tonne mark on the London Metal Exchange Wednesday and set new 2009 highs in New York despite rising stocks and disappointing housing starts.
Three-month copper closed second-ring trade on the LME at $6,950.50 per tonne, up 2.4 percent from $6,790.50 Tuesday, as the slumping dollar and Chinese economic data pushed the contract to a 14-month high.
On the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, the three-month delivery contract hit an intra-day high of $3.172 per pound, the highest level since September last year. The contract ended the day at $3.1105 per pound, up marginally from $3.1085 per pound Tuesday.

American Printer's mission is to be the most reliable and authoritative source of information on integrating tomorrow's technology with today's management.
Dec 1, 2001 12:00 AM
2001 was a disappointing year for the printing industry. A scant 1.5% economic growth in the first half was wiped out in the second, following the most costly catastrophe in U.S. history.
Financial, direct-mail and commercial web printers, after flat or reduced sales, are slowly recovering from the aftermath of Sept. 11. A 4% annualized gross domestic product (GDP) "expansion" is under way, promoted by government deficits and rebuilt destroyed property. This translates to a 6% to 8% sales increase for the printing industry. Two-thirds of the change will be pricing, including increases in materials, shipping, insurance and capital costs. The balance will be real additional demand.
The top 25 markets account for more than $160 billion in printing sales, or about 85% of total industry revenues. How can you use these data? Identify the organizations from each category that are headquartered in your service area. Calculate market potentials and incorporate this information into your sales plan.
The chart on p. 15 gives the overall size of 25 key market sectors. A snapshot of each category follows; each subhead gives print potential in billions (B) of dollars. Here, then, are the 2002 hot markets.
Non-newspaper publishing will be the largest print buyer in 2002, thanks to cross-media agglomerations and "whole-advertiser" deals, where one company negotiates across-the-board placement as a prime media contractor.
Periodicals (+8%) are already accelerating in growth as advertising levels improve.
Educational publishing (+14%) will grow, fueled by a baby boom of 10-year-olds to 14-year-olds in the next three years.
Religious publishing (+33%) has and will experience a resurgence in these difficult times.
Free-standing inserts (+4%) going into 1,480 daily newspapers will stack up as retailers build store traffic to pre-2001 levels. Although four printers dominate this segment, there are ample opportunities for all heatset and open-web printers, and sheetfed plants that cater to underserved businesses.
Not so hot: 0% growth is forecast for adult trades and juvenile books and CD/multimedia.
HOT TIP: Some printers and publishers, such as Courier Corp. (North Chelmsford, MA) and Dover Books (Mineola, NY), have merged or formed on-demand book-production joint ventures. Driven by Internet boutique channels like Amazon.com and powered by formidable digital-asset-management (DAM) programs, these new initiatives present intriguing opportunities for printers.
Consolidations and name changes continue to drive one-time stationery, commercial sheetfed, seriographic, check and business-form replacement orders. While 25 bank holding companies account for more than three-fourths of the work, there are more than 9,000 independent financial institutions with almost as many new names in the works.
Commercial banking (+19%) will account for more than $4.5B in direct-mail and free-standing insert work, a staple for half-web plants and lettershops.
Property/casualty insurers (+51%) will ride high on revenues from sharply upward real-estate appraisals and personal-property replacement.
Life insurers (+11%) have been short on print promotion, but current major campaigns may bring $1B in new color print. About $3B in policies, jackets, forms and other collateral will be produced at in-plant printers and through forms distributors and reprographic centers.
Software will benefit from the Windows XP launch as well as the demand for high-level encryption and data protection.
Packaged software (+2%) will plateau as server-side software and networking (+9%) dominate this segment.
Memories and storage (+10%) will show surprising resurgence in price and productivity as new semiconductor breakthroughs in chip-making are introduced.
Mainframes (+14%) and hosting (+6%) should post slowed growth but, overall, this sector will continue to demand folding cartons, bound books, point-of-purchase (POP) materials, manuals and digital printing, approaching $10B.
Reckless federal licensing, acquisitions, divestitures, satellites and the adoption of low consumer-demand technologies have nearly collapsed this service sector.
Telephone directories (+15%) and cable services (+7%), the low-tech, high-profit mainstays of printing, are being short-circuited by wireless local area networks (WLAN) and other "orphan" services.
Wireless providers (+4%) will have few new callers, and broadband demand is not developing. Even wired "DSL" broadband will only reach 14% of households, mostly via cable television.
HOT TIP: Screen, litho and digital printers could benefit from name changes. Analysts are predicting a year of big-time megamergers. Graphic designers and prepress shops should pursue standards manuals and DAM deals. Nonetheless, sustained losses in sector revenues and capitalization may result in a one-third drop in printing demand to $11B.
Automotive industry sales and production will increase 9% after stalling in the second half of 2001.
New vehicles (+11%) will match last year's revenue gains but with fewer and higher-priced units.
Auto finance and insurance (+22%) and rentals and leases (+10%) will accelerate with higher pricing and increased liability coverages. Forms, coupons and other utility work could lead to a $3B subcategory.
Off-the-road vehicles (+22%) will benefit from expedited energy, infrastructure and commercial building replacement.
Not so hot: parts and repairs (+8%) and used vehicles (-6%). Commercial printing, forms, signs and direct mail at the regional dealer and aftermarket level, however, should increase to $2B or nearly a quarter of sector purchases.
Real-estate-related print sales will rise, which is good news for sheetfed, cold-web and digital printers and trade binders.
Residential new and resale housing (+13%) will benefit from population growth and a pullback in consumer disposable-goods purchases.
Record-low real-estate interest rates will drive home mortgages (+7%).
Commercial real estate (+7%), which slowed in 2001, will rebound, especially in the wake of more than 19 million sq. ft. of lost office space in New York City. Freight movement restrictions will also help warehousing.
HOT TIP: Expect to sell more than $8B in the real-estate sector, but watch out for manufactured homes (-9%).
Metal decorators, large-format sheetfed printers and roll-label providers will profit from redesigns of carriers, cans and bottles, plus multiple-format and theme labeling. Overall, look for 5% beverage-industry growth but a slight 2% to 3% decline in printing buys.
Bottled water (+50%) is growing fast due to public-water-supply contamination fears. Label and ad printing has traditionally been minimal for this category, but that may change as confidence-laden brands emerge.
Expect an increase in POP, on-pack and other retail printing for beers (+3%), wines and spirits (+6%), and juices (+5%).
Coffees and teas will lead other prepared drinks (+5%).
Not so hot: 0% growth is forecast for soft drinks and dairy — they will be level with some cutbacks in print promotional spending.
Packaged foods will pull ahead of beverages to 11% or greater growth as consumers eat at home more, and carry packaged foods to work and play.
Canned and bottled foods (+1%), the largest category, will increase promotional spending and maintain litho and flexo labeling to a total exceeding $2B.
Baked goods, confections and dry foods/snacks (+8%) account for more than $3B, which is good news for commercial, flexo and folding-carton plants.
Frozen microwave foods (+6%) will remain a $1B steady buyer of wrappers.
Biotechnology (+32%) and pharmaceuticals (+19%) will lead this sector. Pharmaceuticals led sustained media advertising in 2001 and should increase all media and collateral expenditures in 2002 by at least 15%. This could result in $2.5B in sheetfed and heatset web work plus $3B or more in packaging.
Medical products (+14%), principally marketed to professionals, will provide about one-sixth of all digital-printing capacity, and possibly, $1B in B2B sheetfed and direct mail.
HOT TIP: Wellness management (+55%), a new category, will have consumers ordering vital-signs monitoring services from simple, self-testing printed kits to on-line devices for chronic disease sufferers. Many new companies are entering thus segment, and $10B in revenues by 2010 are forecast.
This category will recover from the devastating loss of human life in lower Manhattan. Significant replacement and changed-directions printing will boost demand more than 25% to $7.6B after a Q4 2001 dip.
Stockbrokerages (+3%) will improve marginally as reduced volatility — and commissions — bear down on this category. Heavy web-press direct mail will be required to build activity after the greatest retreat in the history of U.S. equity markets.
Mutual funds/management ($206B; +22%) will rebound after substantial redemptions in late 2001. Open-web and sheetfed perfecting plants will gain with $1B in new work.
Not so hot: 0% growth is forecast for investment banks — the IPO and merger days won't return in the near future.
HOT TIP: The good news is this sector is in every city, and about $1B may be created by savvy salespeople suggesting inserts, invitations, reports, seminar programs and financial forms and instruments.
Fashion print won't wear well as catalog production declines one-tenth to $2.5B (after a one-third collapse in 2001). Fad merchandise with patriotic or protest themes, and licensed sports-related designs from such events as the Salt Lake City Olympics or the return of "Air" Jordan will be in vogue.
Printers may add value by offering security, anti-counterfeiting, collectable and smart features to tags, labels and packaging because volumes will be flat: (clothing, footwear and intimate apparel +3%).
Security-conscious consumers' move to precious stones and metals will be good for jewelry (+20%).
Accessories (+17%) should also sell well as "feel-goods" and for value retention.
HOT TIP: Both jewelry and accessories can be high-end sheetfed and digital color customers. The 40 largest firms in fashion place two-thirds of printing, leaving many boutique and generic producers up for grabs.
Remodeling (+32%), floors, walls and windows (+18%), and tools and materials (+10%) should nail down $4.5B, mostly in cold-web and sheetfed free-standing inserts and direct mail, and screen-printed signage and samplebooks.
Modest improvements are forecast for home appliances (+5%) and furniture (+5%), both of which have been beset by retail failures and consumer disinterest.
HOT TIP: This is a great marketing opportunity for creative print sales reps, but they must work fast. This sector will consolidate to about half the present number of participants before the next business cycle.
The off-price and outlet store market (+17%), which is dominated by general, apparel, toys, office and home-accessories superstores, has become the fastest retail growth segment.
Hypermarkets and clubs (+15%), with only four large participants, will be less than one-third the nearly $7B in full-web, signage and display work. Since Sept. 11, same-store sales have risen 7%, versus department stores, which have declined 5%, the largest spread ever. This is a double-edge sword as the latter will reduce ad printing, while the former doesn't need it. This is apparent on a company-by-company basis: for example, the 26% spread between Gap Inc., a big print buyer, and Kohl's, a marginal one.
Color cosmetics and fragrances (+5%), and hair, skin and suncare (+5%) are in decline relative to population change — magazine inserts, promotion and POP are barely at 1999 levels of $2B. Fancy-finished coated, foil, embossed and diecut packaging will look good, however, at greater sales.
Hygiene, sanitary and other products (+8%) will continue to hold steady, a positive development for flexo and folding-carton buyers.
Printers are benefiting from this sector's trend toward raising promotional expenditures, totalling at least $4B.
HOT TIP: Concentrate on hotels (+8%) and cruise lines (+22%). Airlines (+6%) are likely to slump until mid-year. Beware of destination parks (-4%), some of which are couponing for visitors who may never return.
Although home entertainment (-4%) is approaching saturation, printing will be up one-third as sector revenues rise by less than 3% from 2001.
Players and receivers (+6%) such as DVDs, presently at one-tenth penetration, will begin to excite the new stay-at-home consumer.
Personal computers (+1%) and peripherals (-15%) will be hard sells with most printing at the retailer level.
Toys and games (-6%) will continue to decline as consumer income allocation moves toward higher values.
HOT TIP: DVDs are becoming more popular, which means POP, packaging and advertising for this medium should rise. High-definition television (HDTV) should be on hold for another year, despite mandatory conversions to digital signals by 2006 (when broadcast will, of course, be obsolete). In the unlikely event that economic expansion exceeds the forecasts, expect new products and renewed print media demands in Q3.
Print is blooming in horticulture ($27B; +8%), with litho seed envelopes, instructions, marking products and packaging totalling $500M.
Music and art, not estimated, are showing remarkable resurgence and are worth a sales effort. If a trend develops, the printing potential could be $1B more than the total of $3.5B predicted for the entire sector.
Not so hot: 0% growth is forecast for sporting goods as well as gyms and clubs. Wheelgoods (+2%) and fitness equipment (<1%) aren't much better.
Spending on printing will be an anemic $3.7B. This is less than half the level of five years ago.
Health insurance (+5%) will account for more than half the sector's printing as outdoor, newspaper-insert, direct mail and mall-intercept collateral seek an audience.
Hospitals and practices (+2%) will not be significant buyers, except for small-job shops, forms distributors and quick printers.
Intense consolidation in electric and natural-gas generation/distribution (+27%) is under way in anticipation of state-to-state deregulation, even after a notable failure in California. Name and logo changes will bring big orders to screen, digital, miniweb and envelope producers.
Petroleum (+38%) at the pump will exceed last year's rate of increase as the U.S. pursues the war on terrorism. Printing should account for $3.7B.
Out-of-home amusements (-17%) will be the biggest buyer at $1.1B, using outdoor and other large-format litho, screen and digital print to lure people back to destination parks and local attractions.
Motion pictures (+15%) will use more POP and outdoor media than ever, as delayed releases face unprecedented competition.
Live performances (-9%) will rebound — patrons will buy programs, souvenirs and advertising at better than last year's $300M.
Recordings, sales and rentals (-3%) will package and print at $900M, though Internet downloading will have a big impact, and eventually take 50% or more of this category. The top 44 companies are less than 40% of the industry, but buy more than 50% of the printing.
Institutional foodservice (+9%) faces airline and cruise industry declines.
Fast food's (+4%) traffic-building coupons and contests should benefit half- and narrow-web printers.
Full-service restaurants and clubs (+2%) will order sheetfed free-standing inserts and new themed materials to woo consumers who are eating out less often.
HOT TIP: More venues will close than open in 2002, which means a 5% to 7% decline in overall printing to $2.7B. Salespeople should target the 60 chains that account for most of the market.
Most of higher education's $2.5B in print will be spent on development (+13%) and athletics (+23%). Note that 78 universities account for three-fourths of this demand.
HOT TIP: Catalog and direct-mail pages and counts will continue to diminish as applications exceed placements. Beware of small colleges, many of which are in danger of closing.
Workforce/human-resource services (+3%) will buy direct-mail and collateral print as outsourcing grows. Ten firms share half the field and most of the $1B in category print. Consulting (+5%) and security (+23%) will soon follow with at least this level of order-making.
The federal government now finds itself in the sign, symbol and ID business. Digital, screen and litho work for the Dept. of Defense, Homeland Security and other federal agencies charged with defense and public safety should bill more than $500M. Tax shortfalls will bring deficits for federal and many state governments, but informational printing will surpass $2.2B, the second biggest year for our industry.
Work-in-process may be spread among more locations, complicating supply-chain management and requiring secure command and documentation procedures that will be printing-intensive.
Trucking (+15%) may be re-regulated, but the more than 600 national carriers will ultimately consolidate. Fleet graphics by screen and digital printers may exceed $500M, and promotional materials and mail-outs should provide well-distributed sheetfed work in the Midwest, where most firms are headquartered.
Package delivery (+9%) will slow in growth as heightened security measures encumber the process. The Big Three in this segment, however, will become very profitable and more market-driven in advertising and carrier materials.
Warehousing/fulfilment (+11%) in tiers two and three, the independent portion of this industry, will become more sophisticated and integrated. Some are, or will become, on-demand printers with in-bound links that will increasingly preclude outsourced or supplied printing. Overall, this sector will buy more than $1.5B in sheetfed, business forms and converted products in the short term, and much more in the future.

Charity and religion are barely off the list for 2002. It's unlikely, however, that the present rate of giving can continue. Indeed, offerings had declined by at least 5% before Sept. 11, because big givers of 2000 like Ted Turner ($10B), Gordon Moore ($5B) and scores of other media and high-tech executives and corporations backed off from a record $400B in philanthropy.
Religion (+6%) will continue as the largest beneficiary as people return to faith. Environment (-30%), by contrast, will be the smallest recipient. Direct-mail and fundraising collateral printing for the entire category is estimated at $2.1B (+ 5%) as fewer contributions are chased.
Tobacco is also off the list. The so-called settlements which were ordered for printing and media-intensive education are apparently being diverted to pork-barrel projects.

Possible causes can be: Bad dirty MAF sensor Low fuel pressure Clogged fuel filter Dirty injectors Vacuum leaks. Since you only have p0171 I would think your problem is either with injectors or a bad gasket causing a vacuum leak. Oscar. rickisrad 03-25-2011, 09:37 PM here is a link for all the other threads relating to the p0171 codes. there is useful information here. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/search.php?searchid=3220248 thecrow1986 03-27-2011, 11:43 AM so i ran a fuel pressure test and it was 42 with the key on, 41 while it was running, and stayed at 41 while it was in gear. not sure about the stuff i gathered fro live stream but here it is. bank 1 fuel trim. started at 9.36-11.7 and after it was warmed up went to 16.0 o2s,b1,s1 stf 14.97 rich to lean test 0.39 lean to rich 0.51 st fuel trim b1 -71.09 o2s b1 si stf -86.72 any suggestions or other tests i should try? i thought the pressure had to be between 48-55 according to alldata thecrow1986 03-27-2011, 01:25 PM ok so far today i took apart the air intake and cleaned all the grime out of everything. cleaned the mass air flow sensor with mass air flow sensor cleaner. checked for vacuum leaks. didn't find any. took out the fuel rail and cleaned and changed the injector o rings. thecrow1986 03-27-2011, 02:55 PM i also have changed the fuel filter. new stats fuel sys sta b1: cl closed using ho2s calculated load 1.56 st fuel trim b1 16.39% o2s b1 s1 stf 16.39 inafogg 03-27-2011, 04:21 PM did you recheck fuel pressure after changing filter?? any suggestions or other tests i should try? i thought the pressure had to be between 48-55 according to alldata your right f/press 48-55 you have 42 may not be your issue here just remember espec. if its original thecrow1986 03-27-2011, 07:28 PM fuel pressure stayed exactly the same olopezm 03-28-2011, 03:17 PM If the fuel pressure stayed the same after you changed the fuel filter that would indicate you either have a leak somewhere or your fuel pump is on it's way out and since the value is not within specified values, that can be the cause of the P0171 DTC. You don't mention there is any fuel smell so it's unlikely you have problems with the leaky fuel lines, the remaining things to do are: Inspect the Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR) remove the vacuum line on top of it and see if any fuel drips from it, in that case replace it. NOTE: When the engine is running the Fuel pressure should go about 10PSI higher when you remove the vacuum line from the FPR. Check that too! ;) Check for damaged/collapsed fuel lines from the fuel tank to the engine compartment. If everything is correct, then the last thing would be to replace the Fuel pump... Oscar. thecrow1986 03-30-2011, 05:38 PM well i pulled the vacuum line off the fuel pressure regulator and it does go up ten psi. should i be leaning towards the fuel pump? olopezm 03-30-2011, 08:28 PM I would say yes, you have a bad pump the good news is that you don't need to drop the fuel tank. There is an access cover in the trunk right at the back of the rear seat, remove the carpeting and you should see it. You don't need to buy the whole pump assembly, it is enough to buy the replacement kit: motor, both filters and in some cases the fuel pump gasket, even if it doesn't comes with it it would be a good idea to buy a new one to avoid any vacuum leaks causing an EVAP system DTC. Oscar. thecrow1986 04-02-2011, 06:52 PM i changed out the sending unit/fuel pump today and the fuel pressure went up to 44 psi from 40 olopezm 04-03-2011, 07:11 PM 44 is better than 40, but it's still a bit low... Have you looked for any bent/pinched lines?. I'm assuming you replaced both small filters in the tank right? hljmesa 04-07-2011, 10:49 PM Check the intake plenum. Actually, take it off as the design is poor and a fault occurs with the plastic between the coolant flowing through. Replaced that once myself. Also had the replacement fail a few years later as a hose on the inside fell apart and both times the 171 code came up.

Some quick hitters
Mike Keegan - 5/15/2007
• First of all, let me start out this post by announcing the fact that I am now famous. The Syracuse Post-Standard's Donna Ditota mentioned me in her blog on Saturday, calling me "an entertaining guy." It's only a matter of time before Newsweek and Rolling Stone come calling. • Can't move on from the Post-Standard without giving them some love for staying on top of this story. Cornell's Max Seibald hurt his foot against Towson and is now "day-to-day." Seibald's a sure-to-be first team All-American middie and losing him would be a major blow to the Big Red.
• LEAST INTIMIDATING MASCOT: Announcing my first-ever blog contest (blontest?): I am asking for some reader feedback on the least intimidating mascot remaining in the men's D1 tournament. Check out these links (Big Red, Blue Hens, Retrievers, Blue Jays) and shoot me a response over email.
Personally, the Retrievers have to be the least intimidating. Have you ever met a Golden Retriever you didn't like? They might shed on your couch or drool on your shoes, but that's more annoying than intimidating. Blue Jays have the power of flight. A hen could peck you if you're not careful. And a big wad of Big Red could easily get stuck in your throat or on your shoe.
• And last, on a slightly more serious note, as Duke presses on in the tournament, their legal troubles are thankfully over. If you listened to the press conference with the three indicted players on the day the charges were dropped, you heard a couple of them mention KC Johnson. He's a professor at Brooklyn College who started a blog that has to be the most thorough, intelligent writing about the case. As the reports come out and the charges against Mike Nifong proceed, checkout Johnson's blog. He's staying on top of it better than anybody.

In North Dakota, A Tale Of Two Ticket-Splitters
Originally published on Wed November 7, 2012 10:31 am
Voters in North Dakota famously like to mix things up - sending one party to the White House; the other, to Congress. In a closely watched Senate race there, Democrat Heidi Heitkamp narrowly leads the count vote - the vote count. But Republican Rick Berg says he won't concede the race until a recount is complete.
The race hinged on voters like those our reporter Neta Ulaby found.
NEDA ULABY, BYLINE: It's a tale of two ticket-splitters. Both are registered Republicans who braved the bite of the November prairie winds, to vote in an elementary school in West Fargo. Ticket-splitter number one is named Gary Hanson. He just turned 70.
GARY HANSON: Happy for that, I guess; that I'm still around. But ...(Laughter)
ULABY: Hanson voted for Mitt Romney. And for U.S. Senate?
HANSON: For somebody from my hometown - Heidi Heitkamp.
ULABY: Wait - she's a Democrat. But Gary Hanson says his vote was not about the politics, but...
HANSON: The person. The person - and I think she's a person of great character and ethics. And she has a lot of sound values.
ULABY: But our second ticket-splitter, Nicole Christianson, voted against Heitkamp for Senate. She voted for the Republican, Rick Berg. Christianson is 28, a pharmacist, and...
NICOLE CHRISTIANSON: I work in a community health center, so I did vote for Obama.
ULABY: For Obama.
CHRISTIANSON: He was very instrumental in providing a grant four years ago, for us to open a new community health center, called Family Healthcare. So that's why I voted for him.
ULABY: Ticket-splitting is a proud North Dakota tradition. The state's voted for Republican presidents, and a Democratic senator, regularly - for decades. One resident explained the logic like this: You need the Democrats to get the money. You need the Republicans, to keep it in the state.
