Of course. Because the state of mind of a person being told they have a tumor is just like the one where the person is told they need a front-end alighment. Because the consequences of not having a tumor treated are just like not having your car's front end aligned. Because the amount of training required to properly evaluate a doctor's advice is almost the same as the amount of training required to properly evaluate the alignment of your car's tires. Because the degree of trust and acceptance in a doctor-patient relationship has the same level of trust and deference as the mechanic-car owner relationship.
I congratulate you on such a sterling analogy. How can I possibly argue against something like that.
I have not once in this thread argued that a person should be expected to act against their will or religious belief. My argument has consistently been that if you are not willing to practice medicine according the the standards of the medical profession, you have the responsibility to not be a doctor in the first place.
Also, I see you're not answering my question. If your doctor converts to being a JW, and you come in with a condition that requires a trnsfusion, should the doctor be allowed to refuse to order one for you?
I think your making the assumption that optimal care will not be available. If a doctor doesn't feel comfortable performing an abortion due to religious views that's fine in my view, he should be able to pass on the responsibility to another doctor who is. I don't think doctors should be forced to perform an abortion though simply because the state says he should.
Once you become an MD you become societies slave, got it.
So, you are insisting that the doctor violate his religious conscience by sending the patient to a different doctor, who will perform the abortion? That the JW doctor or CS doctor should violate their conscience by deliberately recomending other doctors who provide immoral treatments? You're willing to violate their religious freedom, but only to that degree?
If it means that the catholic church is going to shutdown all of their hospitals that are doing good work for the disenfranchised, do you really think it is worth it from a practical standpoint onebrow? Honestly? I think that there should be waivers for the catholic church for these situations - it's the most sensible thing to do especially considering that 1/5th of all hospitals in the US would likely cease operations otherwise.
Slaves can't quit; doctors can. Slaves don't take a service oarth; doctors take the Hippocratic oath. Slaves don't get treated with deference and respect by society; doctors do. Etc., etc, etc.
Are you even trying to craft a serious comparison, or are you just frustrated that you can't find one?
Not at all, if a doctor that works at non-denominational hospital, that is his/her decision, but if a hospital that is catholic owned and operated feels that this is beyond their organizations ethic code, then they should not be forced to perform abortions at said hospital.
1) I think it's much more likely the Catholic church would sell the hospitals than close them down. They would want to get value from their assest, and there are plenty of hospital chains that would want to expand.
2) All hospitals do good work for the disenfranshied.
3) How many sorts of basic medicine would a hospital have to deny before you think shutting them down would be OK? Should there be religious exemptions for a putative JW hospital? How about a CS hospital?
I think you're thinking is worth no better argument than I've put forward. Forcing a doctor to perform standard care procedures because being a doctor is serious business isn't a real argument in my opinion. If a hospital doesn't want to perform certain procedures I don't think they should be forced to. Period. Whatever silly analogies I use to illustrate that point doesn't change that fundamental principle.

302 shaking???
I got my engine in on my b2 and I had a hard time getting it start. After I got it started it shakes really bad like its out of time or out of balance. It should be balanced right. It has a 85 or 86 cougar engine with the balancer that came on it and a 89 flywheel. So it should be 50 oz. imbalance. I've pulled the distributor about 20 times in two days checking and double checking that it I have in right. It doesn't backfire or pop at all. It will hardly run long enough with the vacuum advance unhooked and plugged to check the timing, but it will run with it hooked up and its reading 10* at idle.
I can't advance it anymore than that because it up against the thermostat housing. I need some more ideas. |
June 16th, 2009, 08:03 PM | #5 |
Ranger Addiction?
2 things:
Mine shook really bad, but it had a miss when reved. Here is the video I took with my dad starting it. when the camera shakes it was because I was leaning up against the hood brace. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBqf-4-pZaw The issue ended up being I had some wires opposite on the distributor of what they should have been. Does it sound similar? *Edit: Yetti suggested the same issue while I was making my post Ha! 2: The distributor issue, I ended up setting it up one prong over. give the distributor a twist away from the housing untill all the cap prongs are about in line where they used to be, and move all the wires back over the other way one prong at a time. (I think thats how I did it) I have all the room in the world to adjust things now. ** edit edit: I also remembered it being a real biotch to get running, and yes, it died alot and very easily. I'd re-check your fireing order. Last edited by Captain Ledd; June 16th, 2009 at 08:06 PM. |
June 17th, 2009, 08:17 AM | #6 |
Im going FAST!!!
may have the firing order off or you could have the wires crossed somewhere even if you have one wire switched it will start and run but shake bad and run like crap...Re check firing order and your wires.
June 20th, 2009, 11:37 PM | #9 |
Senior Member
A lot of people are pointing to the firing order/wire routing and I would agree. I would also check the wires and make sure they aren't arcing out.
The 1986 cougar had a 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 firing order (351w/302 HO firing order) Most carbed 302's are 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 as a standard 302. Please update us if its corrected or still a problem Also check for vacuum leaks, fuel supply, reset your distributor to factory position and start fresh. |

Government needs senior execs willing to break agency mold, report says
The Obama administration has set its sights on more than a dozen national priorities, such as cybersecurity and energy efficiency, that cut across federal agency missions. But the government lacks a dedicated team of senior executives willing to break out of the agency mold to implement those goals, according to a new report from the IBM Center for the Business of Government. The author of the report, Bruce Barkley, told Federal News Radio his proposals for redesigning the Senior Executive Service.

For the second year in a row, the number of citizens who report being satisfied with government services rose, according to a new report from the American Customer Satisfaction Index.

Strauss-Kahn Speaks Publicly For The First Time Since Arrest
By editor
The former head of the International Monetary Fund has given his first television interview since returning to France after being arrested in May on accusations he sexually assaulted a hotel maid in New York. The charges were dropped but Dominique Strauss Kahn still faces a lawsuit brought by the maid. A French writer also claims he tried to rape her. Eleanor Beardsley reports from Paris.

Planting a pre-existing tropical community tank
Hi everyone,
I've had my tank for four years, and I think I'm finally ready to start planting it with real plants. As of right now, I only have one real plant - an anubias nana - and it's doing pretty well, so I want to try my hand with some more plants to make my tank look more natural and make my fish feel more at home.
I've been doing a lot of research and watching a bunch of YouTube videos, and I see that a lot of people layer more than one type of substrate (I've gathered that the bottom layers are special fertilizers/suppleents/etc to help the plants grow) or use ones specifically made to grow plants in. However, since my tank is already set up, I'd really rather not tear it up and re-structure the substrate nor replace it altogether with something like Fluorite or EcoComplete.
So my question is this: what's the best thing I can do to retrofit this tank so I can grow healthy plants without doing anything too extreme? My current substrate is just regular aquarium gravel.
Also, I just want to clarify that I'm not doing a fully planted tank yet, I'm just going to start with like three or four(max) beginner plants and see how that goes. Thanks in advance!Joseph Granata

0There's no need to replace the gravel with substrate. You can always go the fertilizer tab route. Seachem makes a good comprehensive macro/micro nutrient tab. I've seen the best price at Amazon. Or, you could go the route of AquaFertz, which is available through AquariumPlants.com: http://www.aquariumplants.com/AquaFe...TEM_p/fert.htm. There, you would need to combine Total (w/ or w/out Phosphates) + Trace. It's arguable that they provide a superior tab to Seachem... but I'm not so sure yet. They definitely break it down for you, so you can get the exact combination of nutrients that you really need. I think the costs are fairly equivalent, as Flourish you only dose one tab per 3 months, whereas AquaFertz is dosed one tab per 1 month.
Other than that, the only thing you'd need to dose would be liquid or dry ferts (which are added directly to the tank/water column). Depending on your lighting and plants, you may or may not need CO2.
0Have you thought about what species of plants you want to grow? There are lots of beginner varieties which are not too fussy and are therefore fairly easy to take care of.
I have found the hygrophila species to be extremely easy, probably the easiest plant I've ever grown. It's a fast grower and is easy to cut back and replant the stems to create more plants.
Some crytocoryne species like Cryptocoryne Beckettii, Cryptocoryne Wendtii, or Cryptocoryne Crispatula Balansae are slow growing but very hardy, and low light tolerant (in my experience).
Some lobelia species are worth considering. Also easy keepers.
Moss is also an obvious choice - it'll grow on wood or rockwork if you tie it on with thread."Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan
~ My 350 Litre Tank Journal ~
0Cryptocorne slow growing? I try to tell mine that but they keep ignorning me.
1. lights, 1 watt per gallon at least
2. nutrients, either take out what's already in there and replace or use root tabs.
Youtube, various sites, a lot of shops all will lead you to believe you need all sorts of mumbo-jumbo to grow plants. You don't for the simple species.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan
~ My 350 Litre Tank Journal ~
0I have another question: I've checked my light, and I realized that I should have a different one (this one is 18,000K and 20W on a 37gal tank). I've been looking for ones that are at least 40W and with a lower colour temperature, but I can't seem to find any that will fit my hood (I just have a regular, single-bulb fluorescent hood). Any suggestions?
Also, I ended up buying a few "sagittaria eatoni" plants because the livestock manager at my LFS told me that they were easy to take care of. I came home and tried looking for information online, but I can't find any! Is there another name that these are known by and/or do you have any advice for these plants specifically?Joseph Granata

0Cabomba, if healthy and uncut, won't shed. =/ It's when you start propagating it when you have a problem. At least in my experience.
18,000k is too much light - depending on the plants you use. You should stay within the 6000-7000k range (6500k is daylight, which is arguably the optimal range you'll want to use). 18,000k (like 10,000k) will be too high for lower light plants, but ok for the more demanding plants. If you go with 6500k spectrum, you'll have all of your bases covered and can support any plants you want, depending on the output (wattage). For a 37gal, 20w is way too low for a planted tank. I mean, you could grow plants at a very slow pace, but if you want any kind of noticeable growth from your plants, you'll want to bump it to at least 1.5-2wpg. So, for your needs, you'd probably be better with a 30" fixture w/ 2 x 24w T5HO bulbs. That'd give you 1.29wpg and should be enough for most plants you'd like to grow.
That's just the start... you could do less light, more light - partial lighting of the tank, etc. Depends on what you want to do.

A number of North American aluminum billet producers are moving material at a discount in the final weeks of 2010, but premiums are expected to rebound in the New Year, producer and consumer sources told AMM.
Some primary producers and remelters have dropped their spot premiums by nearly 2 cents per pound in an effort to unload metal before year-end, sources said. According to buyers and sellers in the market, Midwest spot premiums for aluminum billet have fallen to between 9.75 and 10.5 cents per pound due to the discounting, down from between 10.5 and 11.5 cents per pound at this time last month.

A solid Roku box with a limited audience
The Roku 1 has always been a curious box in Roku's lineup. When it launched, it wasn't quite as cheap as the (soon-to-be-discontinued) Roku LT and it's also lacking a standout step-up feature, like the headphone jack remote found on the Roku 2 ($80). Other than the boost to 1080p output over the Roku LT (which isn't particularly noticeable on most TVs), the wasn't much of a reason to buy the Roku 1.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
RB Joe McKnight to work out with Packers; 'Kickalicious' in Friday
Green Bay --- The Green Bay Packers are exhausting their options at running back (and the return game).
The day after getting a look at everyone in their backfield, the Packers have decided to work out running back Joe McKnight on Saturday. The visit could be due diligence at the position with cutdown day nearing. McKnight never caught on with the New York Jets. In three seasons, he rushed for 502 yards on 112 attempts (4.5 avg.) with 17 receptions for 177 yards.
The intrigue with McKnight may be that he has experience as a kick returner. As the primary kick returner the last two seasons, McKnight has averaged 29 yards per return with two touchdowns.
McKnight first announced the interest himself on his Twitter account.
After losing DuJuan Harris to a season-ending knee injury, the Packers' situation at running back is cloudy. Rookie Eddie Lacy will likely see the bulk of the carries. Beyond the second-rounder, it's unknown how the Packers will use Johnathan Franklin, Alex Green and James Starks.
In other news, maybe the Packers are not done at kicker quite yet.
After cutting both Giorgio Tavecchio and Zach Ramirez, Havard "Kickalicious" Rugland has already worked out with the Packers. Rugland, of YouTube fame, got a chance to prove his worth in the NFL with the Detroit Lions this training camp. With the Lions, the Norwegian made all three of his preseason field goal attempts but was ousted by the veteran David Akers.
Mason Crosby seemed to be safe after going 6 of 6 in the preseason and restructuring his contract. Much like McKnight, this may be a case of the Packers simply taking a look.

Interesting. If they sign McKnight they may be kissing off Jeremy Ross.
Also means that would provide room for Chares Johnson on the 53 without risking loosing him on the PS. Assuming WR Walker has already made the cut of course.
So much for the old, "we are really loaded at RB this year." Given that most NFL KO's go out of the end zone these days, not sure they are looking at him only as a return guy. He takes a RB slot I believe if signed.
Well, the punt return has mostly fair caught for years...but for those times when the punter kicks low or the return is well blocked, every team tries to find a good PR. The bares won many games with ST excellence, especially with PR.
Same for the KR now, kc...more are now kicked out of the endzone, but more kicks than ever are being brought out 5 yards deep in in. Better have a good KR with good decision making bringing it out.
A good KR with RB value has more "value" for the Pack than a WR with the same skill.
I liked h alot coming out of SC
.. question his talent now though since he couldn't make a mark on a pretty thin Jets backfield-
Mel, he was a diva in college and has been a diva in the pros. That's why I didn't like him coming out. He has a lot of talent.
This is beyond pathetic. Do they know that the season starts in one week?
I've never seen a coaching staff do a worse job of getting a team ready for the season. We've dithered around with kickers and third-string RBs, while our starters have spent zero time on the field together. This follows the disastrous offseason in which Thompson once again failed to address fundamental holes in our roster.
Has McCarthy ever actually opened a season with his o-line fixed? ridiculous.
Finally, it's good to see Hawk missing tackles and failing to make plays again. Good thing we cut Bishop, who's off to a strong start in Minnesota.
This is going to be a very long season.-
Yeah right because McCarthy has such a bad track record at getting us ready and not making the playoffs.
Over-the-top hyperbole doesn't make your point stronger, but merely points out your opinion is pretty weak. Which it is. ------------------------- If you truly have "never seen a coaching staff do a worse job", then you truly have never watched football previously. Lacy and Harris are not "3rd string". The starters spent a number of drives on the field, not "zero". TT drafted a pretty decent stable, so your "failed to address" statement sucks, too. Yes, MM has opened a season with a fixed O-line. Hawk has made plays, and Bishop didn't get off to a "strong start" but was injured. Only his play last night saved him a roster spot. ................................................. Come back when you can see straight.
I am concerned about the lack of offense first unit play time together. The 49ers are not a team to be working on your timing and coordination against. I don't think its going to be pretty. Are these guys stretching sufficiently? How many hamstring injuries have we had over the last 2-3 years?
I'm concerned about all the concern.
Hamstring injuries tend to be caused by an imbalance in strength between the quads and the hamstrings. The hammy's act as a break on all that force the quads produce and if they are not strong enough or conditioned enough to withstand that, then you get tears as they lengthen during a contraction. So, flexibility is only one component involved here, and not the main one, either.
Another suspect comment from another SUSPECT FAN.....clueless
maybe the packers think next week is exhibition still.
i hope mccarthy doesn't sit rodgers again.
that would stupid.
it's not about stretching.
Stashing kickers on speed dial is a good idea. This and the money by the kick type of salary he gets now might make Mason Crosby the greatest kicker ever. If not, just pickup the phone. Other than Lacy no running backs impressed during the exhibition games. There are spots there to be taken. McKnight or some one else.
It seems to me that this is more about a returner than a rb.
EXACTLY!! That's why i said if we sign him, its good bye to Jeremy Ross. He hasn't done much as a WR and we have decent enough depth there already. If our KR can play RB which we're thinn"er" at, then this is a no-brainer slam dunk of a signing.
because that is what we need in a pass happy offense....another running back....REALLY???
you're right, eddie.
echoing dalys liver, that's fine with me.
We can only hope that the Brandon Smith experiment is over. He gave up 3 touchdowns last night! Enough is enough!
Kickalicious would be awesome for the Packers....he is a diamond in the rough I think...he could be like Tim Mastay and be a huge weapon on special teams..
a proven bad / frozen weather kicker is what we need....you have no clue
"Much like McKnight, this may be a case of the Packers simply taking a look". ..... That's what teams do. They always "take a look" in case something valuable falls through the cracks. TT and his scouting staff do that better than a lot of teams.
We've got the backs... its the same problem it has been for several years. We don't have a line that opens holes. Even AP will have a hard time when 2 people are hitting him before he reaches the line.
The first team o line has shown some good push at times during the preseason. We just didn't get to see them enough to make a fair judgement.
it's the backs, not the o-line.
now we have the backs.

In 1971, Wangari Maathai received a Ph.D., effectively becoming the first woman in either East or Central Africa to earn a doctorate. She was elected to Kenya's National Assembly in 2002 and has written several books and scholarly articles. She won the Nobel Peace Prize for her "holistic approach to sustainable development that embraces democracy, human rights, and women's rights in particular." Maathai died of cancer on September 25, 2011, in Nairobi, Kenya.

Early Life and Education
Born on April 1, 1940, in Nyeri, Kenya, environmental activist Wangari Maathai grew up in a small village. Her father supported the family working as a tenant farmer. At this time, Kenya was still a British colony. Maathai's family decided to send her to school, which was uncommon for girls to be educated at this time. She started at a local primary school when she was 8 years old.
An excellent student, Maathai was able to continue her education at the Loreto Girls' High School. She won a scholarship in 1960 to go to college in the United States. Maathai attended Mount St. Scholastica College in Atchison, Kansas, where she earned a bachelor's degree in biology in 1964. Two years later, she completed a master's degree in biological sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. Maathai would later draw inspiration by the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements in the United States.
Returning to Kenya, Maathai studied veterinary anatomy at the University of Nairobi. She made history in 1971, becoming the first woman in East Africa to earn a doctorate degree. Maathai joined the university's faculty and became the first woman to chair a university department in the region in 1976.
Green Belt Movement
Maathai sought to end the devastation of Kenya's forests and lands caused by development and remedy the negative impact that this development had on the country's environment. In 1977, she launched the Green Belt Movement to reforest her beloved country while helping the nation's women. "Women needed income and they needed resources because theirs were being depleted," Maathai explained to People magazine. "So we decided to solve both problems together."
Proving to be very successful, the movement is responsible for the planting of more than 30 million trees in Kenya and providing roughly 30,000 women with new skills and opportunities. Maathai also challenged the government on its development plans and its handling of the country's land. An outspoken critic of dictator Daniel arap Moi, she was beaten and arrested numerous times. One of her most famous actions was in 1989. Maathai and her organization staged a protest in Nairobi's Uhuru Park to prevent the construction of a skyscraper. Her campaign drew international attention, and the project was eventually dropped. The place in the park where she demonstrated became known as "Freedom Corner."
The following year, Maathai was beaten and badly injured at another protest in "Freedom Corner." She was calling for the release of political prisoners. What had started out as an environmental movement quickly became a political effort as well.

Nobel Peace Prize Winners
When Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel died in 1896, he left his fortune to create an annual series of prizes for the individuals who confer "the greatest benefit on mankind." The most prestigious of the awards is the Nobel Peace Prize. Historians believe Alfred Nobel wanted to award people who work for peace to compensate for his own role in inventing dynamite. Since its establishment, the prize has gone to many courageous individuals who have fought for peace and human rights around the world.

A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy. Miscarriage occurs in 15 percent to 20 percent of pregnancies, usually during the first 13 weeks, and sometimes before you even realize you are pregnant. If you had three or more miscarriages, you are considered to have recurrent pregnancy loss.
A miscarriage is a heartbreaking event, and the emotional issues involved can be severe. But there is hope. Even women who have multiple miscarriages still have a 60 percent to 70 percent chance of having a successful pregnancy.
What Causes a Miscarriage?
Although a miscarriage can be caused by a number of things, the exact cause may never be identified.
The risk for a miscarriage increases with age. (Your eggs get older too.) If you are under 35, you have a 15 percent chance of miscarriage, but if you are over 45 your chance of having a miscarriage goes up to 50 percent.
Genetic problems with the embryo account for more than half of miscarriages in the first 13 weeks of pregnancy; chromosomal issues prevent the fetus from developing properly and surviving. Genetic problems happen by chance and have nothing to do with either parent. Although this type of miscarriage is unlikely to happen more than once, the chance increases with age.
Hormonal problems may also cause a miscarriage. If you do not produce enough progesterone during the luteal phase of your period, the endometrial lining of your uterus may be too thin for an egg to attach and grow.
Polyps or fibroids in the uterus can interfere with the implantation of the fertilized egg. Uncontrolled diabetes, an underactive thyroid gland, or infections can also lead to a miscarriage. If you smoke, use illegal drugs, or drink a lot of alcohol, you increase your risk of miscarriage.
What Does Not Cause Miscarriage and Pregnancy Loss?
It is important not to blame yourself for a pregnancy loss. You do not increase your risk of miscarriage by exercising, working, having sex, or lifting heavy objects. Morning sickness, even if it is severe, does not increase your risk.
Even if you fall, are hit, or injured, you are unlikely to miscarry unless the injury is so serious it threatens your own life.

Two fun ways to get exercise at the Humana Challenge golf tournament were unveiled Wednesday.
Humana Inc. introduced the Humana Walkit Challenge and Humana Walkit Pro at PGA West in La Quinta, where professional play starts tomorrow.
With the use of pedometers and a scoring system, Walkit participants will track how many steps pros and spectators take while walking the course.
"A common goal for Humana's programs is making healthy things fun and fun things healthy," said professional golfer Gary Player, a Humana well-being ambassador. "The Humana Challenge offers great opportunities to have a great time while getting healthy."
People who attend the Humana Challenge will get a free pedometer to help them keep track their steps. Then, spectators at other tour events will try to beat the step total logged at the Humana Challenge. The tour stop that comes closest to beating or tying the total at the Humana Challenge will win a KaBOOM! "multi-generational" playground for their city.
The number of steps taken and calories burned by each player on a course will be tracked in real-time for the Walkit Pro challenge. Player information will go up on leader boards at the tournament, on the Golf Channel and on humanachallenge.com. Displays will include tips to help viewers burn calories "and information about how taking small steps can lead to big changes," according to organizers.
Humana's Well-Being Tour will return to the tournament. The mobile unit includes bike and biometric stations and a "Your Shape" Xbox game.
For more information or tickets, go to www.humanachallenge.com.

Who exactly is calculating that walking 6.6 miles burns almost 2000 calories??? I am running 20 miles tomorrow and will barely burn that. You are severely misleading people and should be ashamed of yourselves.

Decrease in those teleworking due to a combination of factors
From smart phones to iPads, it seems like today's technological advances are combining to allow even more people to telework. The federal government has gotten into the game, too, with the Telework Enhancement Act, signed last December.
But for the first time since 2003, when official telework tracking data began, the number of people working remotely at least one day per month decreased to 26.2 million in 2010, down from 33.7 million in 2008, according to the Telework 2011 WorldatWork study. Factors such as high unemployment, anxiety surrounding job security and an unawareness of telework options, all contributed to the dip, the report said.
In spite of the telework decline, the frequency of people who telework regularly is rising, the study said. It found that 84 percent of remote workers telecommuted at least one day per week or more. In 2008, that number was 72 percent. Daily teleworkers increased by five percent from 2008, to 45 percent in 2010.
Other findings included: today's teleworkers are mostly 40-year-old, male, college graduates, home is still the most common location for telework, and working remotely is perceived as a "reward" by both employer and employee.
The report data was collected by The Dieringer Research Group as well as WorldatWork, a non-profit organization.

Interesting study - of special interest is the fact that the frequency of people who telework regularly is rising, and we expect to see that increase in the government as the Telework Enhancement Act gains ground. One thing the government is definitely doing right is insisting on training for all employees who telework - we noticed in this study that, according to figures 5a and 5b, only 17% of employees said that they received training on how to be successful as an employee with a flexible work arrangement, and only 21% of managers had training around how to manage employees in a flexible work arrangement. We see that as a crucial piece for success in teleworking. Sam Davis, VP, AMA Enterprise Government Solutions

Burnet carries 26-2 recordJuly 09, 2013, 10:00 am by Mark Goodson By Mark Goodson Highland Lakes Newspapers Burnet will carry an impressive 26-2 record into the state 7-on-7 football championships in Round Rock this week.

A.Rachel Smith responds: The proper way to attach the bottom chord to the wall below depends on a few things. If the interior basement wall is load- bearing and the truss is using it as an intermediate support, the truss bottom chord must be directly attached to the wall, no matter what their relative orientations are. Check the truss design drawing from the truss manufacturer for information on the location and size of the required bearing points.
If the interior basement wall is non-load-bearing and perpendicular to the truss, you can leave a gap between the truss and the wall. However, for the sake of the wall's lateral stability, you may want to have some form of attachment, like a slotted metal anchor at the top of the partition wall, that will allow for vertical movement of the truss. If the truss is parallel and off center to the non-load-bearing wall, you can block the truss space over the wall and make an attachment. But there's no point in doing that if you plan to leave a gap, unless you're installing the slotted anchors.
Supposedly, the gap between the bottom chord and the wall is to allow for vertical movements of the floor (or roof) system and to avoid creating an "unintentional" bearing wall below. There are a lot of variables that affect how much load the truss will transmit unintentionally to the wall. It goes back to the old engineering adage "Stiffness attracts load," so the less stiff the support and the truss-bearing location, the less load it will pick up.
The upshot is that in most instances the gap is unnecessary. In fact, in the case of a basement partition wall, a direct attachment is preferable because it may reduce potential floor vibration problems.

Morningside College students volunteer for New Orleans recovery project
Approximately 20 Morningside College students are forgoing traditional spring break activities in order to travel to New Orleans, La., to help with that city's ongoing reconstruction efforts in the aftermath of 2005's Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Led by the Rev. Kathy Martin, Morningside chaplain and director of church relations, the student group will leave the college campus after classes on Friday, Feb. 26, and drive to New Orleans. The students will work for five days on restoration projects in New Orleans. The Morningside group plans to be back in Sioux City on Sunday, March 7.
"I think it's to their credit that our students take time from their spring break – when they could be spending time with family and friends – to help with the continuing recovery and restoration efforts in New Orleans." Martin said.
This is the sixth relief trip that Morningside students have made to hurricane-damaged areas along the Gulf Coast. In the spring of 2006, a Morningside group helped with cleanup and reconstruction efforts in Picayune, Miss., which was devastated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. That trip was followed by other mission efforts in Lake Charles, La., in 2007 and 2009; Beaumont, Texas, during Christmas of 2007; and Metairie, La., during the spring of 2008. Morningside students also traveled to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in the summer and fall of 2008 to help with flood recovery efforts.
