SPEEDWAY — For one day this Saturday, what's racing around the track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be fueled by Kibbles 'n Bits rather than gasoline.
The Mutt Strut is back, celebrating a decade of success that allows patrons with or without dogs to come to the track and walk a lap around it with thousands of their furry friends.
The gates to IMS will open at 9:30 a.m. April 27 and opening ceremonies will begin at 10:45 a.m. The track will then be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for walkers on two or four legs.
In addition to it being a well attended event, typically drawing between 6,000 and 10,000 people, it also is the bell cow fundraiser for the Humane Society of Indianapolis (HSI). John Aleshire, chief executive officer of the HSI, said that it often draws in around $400,000 in much-needed funding.
"This is our most important and signature special event of the year." he said. "It's a party, and a great way to celebrate with your pets. But you don't have to have a dog. You can come for the fitness aspect of it. It's very family-friendly, and you get to walk around the most famous real estate in our city, if not the entire racing world."
Each year the organization cares for more than 6,000 animals bereft of any attachment to a national group. They are independent and Mutt Strut fundraising is vital to the organization as they receive no public, private, or government funding. On top of that, Aleshire said that pets needing homes is not an issue that's going away anytime soon.
"Funding is truly a challenge," he explained. "Indianapolis has a pet overpopulation problem. There are certain areas of the city where there are lots and lots of animals needing homes.

Sympathy for Mike McQueary is hard to find, at least publicly. If you are a die-hard Penn State fan and supporter of JoePa then McQueary is a traitor, Brutus to the mighty Caesar, wielding the fatal dagger. If you are among those of us who are horrified by the silence which enabled Sandusky to continue his horror show at the expense of the lives of several more young men, then "Big Red" did no where near enough.
Jane Leavy has an interesting "open letter" to Mike McQueary of the Penn State Sandusky rape scandal, She brings some interesting insights as she expresses her sympathy and understanding for his position, as she understands it.
She was interviewed about her letter on the CBC Radio program "Q", and went into depth about the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome on sexual abuse victims, witnesses, and even in some cases perpetrators. She also explained the psychological weight of the coach in football, especially in the case of a highly successful coach, which can translate into a saintlike stature, and unquestioned authority.
Among her other points is that Grand Jury's report is a summary of McQueary's testimony, and many of the things which he says he did, like talking to the head of the campus police, may have occurred, although they are not in the report. (It strikes me that this would be especially true if that remained to be proven, as in the case that the contents and even occurance of the interview had been conveniently "forgotten" .)
For the whole interview go to:

My wife and I have been married for 14 years. We are very happy except that we have not been blessed with children. We have gone through various fertility treatments. Unfortunately we recently failed for the 17th try at in vitro fertilization. Basically we have tried everything – the adoption route, and even donor eggs.
Of course there is always hope and this is why I am contacting you. We think that perhaps at our wedding there was some bad vibes of evil eye (Ayin Hara). It was suggested that if we get divorced, the Ayin Hara will be broken, and then we could get remarried and maybe get pregnant.
I know this is unusual, but we are desperate. I would appreciate any advice you could give us, because right now anything goes. She is 43 and I'm 50. So if not now, when?
The Aish Rabbi Replies:
I sympathize with your pain and frustration, and I commend you for doing all you can to find the best solution to a very challenging situation.
However, I don't think this "divorce plan" is a good idea. Given the first injunction in the Torah – "Be fruitful and multiply" – someone who does not have children is obligated to marry someone who can bear children. Since you are already married, you need not marry someone else. However, if you divorce, it would be incumbent upon you to marry a woman with whom you have a better chance than your wife to have children.
The point I think you should focus on right now is the Talmudic saying that a person should never give up hope, even in the bleakest circumstances (Brachot 10a). Medical research is constantly improving, and any condition can surely, with God's help, have its remedy. For some cutting edge ideas, visit the website of Dr. Sherman Silber, a friend and world-class expert in the field – www.infertile.com.
For the halachic aspects of testing sperm to enhance pregnancy chances – see Rabbi Ovadia Yosef (Yabia Omer II E.H. 1:7). The permitted methods vary, but no responsible couple would be married even two years without getting tested.
Another good resource is www.atime.org, a huge support network of Jewish couples who have gone through the pain of infertility.
In the meantime, do not feel that your lives cannot go on without children. In the last generation, many great role models did not have children: the Chazon Ish, Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinsky, Rabbi Simcha Wasserman, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, etc. We also have a tradition that the great prophets Chanania, Mishael and Azaria were childless ("Yalkut Shimoni" 2-Kings 245). And if at all possible, adoption is a wonderful means of raising children in your home.
The best literature on this subject, in my opinion is, Isaiah 56:3-5, which explains there are higher values in life than having children. I recommend that you read it, reread it, and strive to internalize it.

(WMC-TV) - Police blame alcohol for a wrong-way, head-on collision that destroyed two Mid-South families. Learning the driver was drunk has given one of those families a new mission.
First cousins Demetria Allen and Chastity Wilson were more like sisters. Meechie and Chatty, as they were known, once lived together. They also died together in June when police say another woman, Alma Chavez, made a deadly decision to drive the wrong way on I-240 between South Parkway and Norris Road.
"In the back of my mind I wanted it to be just an accident ... Just maybe she was lost and went the wrong way," said the victim's mother, Lisa Wilson.
This police illustration showed Chavez in "Vehicle One" slammed head on into the cousins in "Vehicle 2." All three women died in the crash.
Two months after the accident, this grieving family learned Chavez was drunk.
"I'm not here to bash the lady who was driving. It's just sad to make a poor decision and jump in your car and drive, knowing you're over the legal limit, just knowing you've been drinking period," said Wilson.
The Action News Five Investigators interviewed Alma Chavez's husband in the days after the crash.
"I'm sorry for the other family and hopefully we'll get through this little by little, but I know it's going to take time," said Steven Algarin.
He said his wife died while on her way home from work, which was at a restaurant in Southaven. He said she was unaware, at the time, that she may have been drinking.
But according to a toxicology report certified by the Shelby County Medical Examiner's Office, Chavez's blood alcohol concentration, was .211. That is nearly three times the legal limit for DUI, which is .08.
In addition to her husband, Chavez left behind a 5-year-old son. Attempts to reach Chavez' family for a response to her toxicology report were unsuccessful.
"My baby would be here now if someone would have stopped her," said Wilson.
Darleesia Williams spent the evening on Beale Street with her sister and cousin the night they died. She normally would have been in the car with them.
"This night I knew they wanted to stay out a little longer, so I decided to drive," said Williams. "If you're going to drink and have fun, be responsible enough not to drive or at least have a designated driver."
She is now among members of this close family who wear T-shirts in remembrance of Meechie and Chatty.
Meechie, 23, was a pediatric clinic employee. Chatty, 21, was a culinary student who was awarded a diploma exactly one month after her death. The mother accepted the degree.
She believes the cousins are still laughing together and hopes their deaths make others think twice before driving drunk.
Some 10,000 people die in alcohol-related crashes in the U.S. every year. Learn more about awareness by clicking here.

It's the biggest game in recent memory for the Washington Redskins, who can inch closer to a playoff spot with a win on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. All indications are that Washington will have rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III back under center.
Washington can win the NFC East with victories in its final two games.
Of the six experts who have submitted their picks at ESPN.com, five of them are going with Washington. The lone exception is Eric Allen, who has the least number of correct selections this season.
Over at CBSSports.com the experts pick against the spread, and the Redskins are favored by 4.5 points. There is an even split among the eight pickers, but Will Brinson, who has the most correct choices among experts on the site, is going with Philadelphia.
All three experts at Yahoo! Sports are going with the Redskins to win.
Kickoff is scheduled at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Hometown/place of birth: Newark, NJ
Medical school and location: American University of the Caribbean Saint Maarten
Special interests and future plans: I am interested in any aspect of medicine that involves extensive application of physiology into clinical practice, particularly pulmonary/critical care and cardiology.
Interests/hobbies outside of medicine: I enjoy watching and playing soccer. Also a big music fan, but who isn't.
Languages spoken, other than English: French, Haitian Creole, and a little espanol
Why you decided to come to our program: The main reason Upstate really stood out for me was the interaction between residents. At dinner the night before the interview, it felt very natural, and me being very team oriented I wanted to work with a group of people who I feel will have my back. On the administration side, I was impressed with the PD's attention to detail... He trained in the program, and he's not scared of making changes where he sees fit. The residency coordinator who has been doing this for a while made me feel at home and she seems to really care about her residents. These little things matter to me the most

The pomp and circumstance of another inauguration ceremony is now behind us and West Virginia's elected leaders can get back to the many tasks before them, and the times are challenging.
Gone are the days of counting on steady budget surpluses, as has been the case during the last half dozen years, and present are the pressing issues of changes to Medicaid funding, education reform, regulatory matters for coal and natural gas, drug abuse, prison and jail overcrowding, and infrastructure development and maintenance.
That's just the start. With budgets becoming tighter some difficult decisions will be forthcoming on various programs.
We don't expect the issues to overwhelm Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. He's always demonstrated the ability to bring as many people that are willing to work together, regardless of political affiliation, to the table to develop working solutions.
For more than three decades he has been serving our state and his legacy will now be solidified during the next four years.
While never one to be rushing to get in front of reporters and the bright lights, Tomblin has always had West Virginia's best interests at heart in his work. We expect it to continue.
Tomblin is well respected by the leaders of our Legislature, being a member of that branch for 30-plus years, and his style of leadership is no stranger to them. Together, we are confident the executive and legislative branches will lead the Mountain State through this period of change.
Everyone will never be completely satisfied with what gets decided in Charleston, but the air of cooperation amongst our state leaders has been steadily improving for nearly a decade. Working to keep those communication avenues open and to promote effective dialogue and timely action is the key for a better West Virginia.

The Discovery Grants Program assists in:
The Discovery Grants Program supports ongoing programs of research (with long-term goals) rather than a single short-term project or collection of projects. These grants recognize the creativity and innovation that are at the heart of all research advances, whether made individually or in teams. Researchers can apply for only one Discovery Grant at a time, either individually or as part of a team, but not both. Researchers can hold only one Discovery Grant at any given time. Discovery Grants are awarded for one to five years, the normal duration being five years.
All researchers who intend to apply for a Discovery Grant (including a Project Research Grant in Subatomic Physics) in the 2013 competition must submit a Notification of Intent to Apply for a Discovery Grant by the deadline date of August 1, 2013. NSERC will only accept a completed NOI through its new Research Portal. Please note that NSERC has made the Common Canadian CV mandatory for the Discovery Grant competition for Fall 2013.

PLATTSBURGH — The Clinton County Health Department continues to offer a helping hand to expectant moms who may have questions or concerns about the pregnancy process from conception to delivery, and beyond.
Historically, the Health Department offered a program through the New York State Department of Health called the Medicaid Obstetrical and Maternal Services (MOMS) program.
However, when that program moved to a managed-care format in 2011, Clinton County chose to take on the responsibility for providing services for pregnant moms and created the Improved Pregnancy Outcome program to replace MOMS.
"It resembles the MOMS program, but it is entirely free with no link to insurance whatsoever," said Suzanne LaBorde, a public health nurse for the Health Department who oversees the Improved Pregnancy Outcome program.
"This (program) is open to everyone in the county," LaBorde said.
The concept has been used over the last several months to support extremely high-risk women with extreme needs, women with no health insurance or women who have psycho-social issues, she added.
But the Health Department is now seeking to expand its support to all first-time moms, particularly those who are 19 and younger or 40 and older, along with moms who are underweight or overweight or have gestational diabetes.
"One of our main emphases is to make sure pregnant moms receive early prenatal care to help reduce risks and to catch potential problems early," LaBorde said.
"The state objective is to increase the percentage of women receiving early prenatal care during the first trimester to 90 percent," she added, noting that Clinton County had nearly reached that mark at 89.7 percent in 2009, up from 86.3 percent in 2000.
The state average over the past decade has been in the mid-70 percent range.
A nurse from the Health Department will work closely with the pregnant mom to ensure the best possible pregnancy outcome. Nurses will meet at a time and place convenient for the expectant mom and will work closely with the client and health-care provider.

Preferred developer identified for prime Narberth primary school site
8:01pm Monday 13th January 2014 in News
A PREFERRED developer for Narberth's old primary school site has been identified by Pembrokeshire County Council, it was confirmed on Monday.
The building and playground, in a prime location at the entrance to the Town Moor car park, has been lying empty for over five years since the town's new school opened in Jesse Road, It has been on the market for the past two years and advertised by the council as suitable for a retail/mixed use development.
At the authority's cabinet meeting on Monday morning, it was recommended that a conditional contract be entered into with Abbeymore Estates/Knox and Wells Ltd, on terms acceptable to the council's director of development and on the grounds that all necessary consents are obtained.
Commented the town's county councillor, Wynne Evans: " I am delighted that approval has now been given to sell the former primary school to a preferred bidder. This much-loved building has laid empty for five years, and now the site will see full redevelopment. I am sure the new owners will, in due course, submit a full planning application, which will follow the normal planning process. This will allow input from the public."

Backpacker Magazine – October 2008
The latest word from our testers. This month, we test the Marmot Cauldro jacket, Gregory Z65 pack, Exped Andromeda, tents, Danner Formation boots, and more.
Royal Robbins Bivy Pants
Cotton kills, right? Wrong, at least not in the case of these hardworking pants. The Bivys are made from a fabric blend–70 percent cotton and 30 percent nylon–that proved marvelously versatile in the field. In conditions ranging from a drizzling 50°F to sunny and hot, the Bivys offered the comfortable breathability of cotton but were as quick-drying as many similar weight 100-percent nylon pants we've tested. The secret: Cotton fibers are treated with Schoeller 3XDry, which sucks moisture to the outer surface where it dries more quickly. And we found them as durable as a pair of blue jeans; the pants' gusseted, reinforced knees didn't rip even on a granite fall that drew blood underneath. Fit is loose for ease of movement but tapered in the legs. The soft mesh waistband is comfortable under a hipbelt. $55; 14 oz. (33-34); men's waist 30-40, length 30-34; royalrobbins.com.

Cheap Kids Dunk Low The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out
and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition��and I told the sisters: You take care of the
other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a
beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words "thank you" and she died. I could not help but examine my
conscience[����]before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a
little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more
-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. As did that man whom we picked up from the drain[��������ˮ��], half
eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. "I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and
cared for." And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming
anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe
what Jesus had said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.Nike Dunk SB High
I've recently purchased the Marmot Cauldron Jacket, and I love it. I've tested it at 20-65 degree weather and it's performance is outstanding. It's weight and compressed size is great. If you're in the market for a synthetic filled isulated jacket, The Cauldron is a solid buy that will not break the bank. And as a bonus you're buying a "green," product, that's positive for the environment.
I have one of these and love it. Easy to pitch in the wind and rain and the inside stays dry while doing that. HUGE vestibule. Only downside is weight and bulk as can be expected with a tent of this size.

"Green Tree Coffee used to be our neighbors, thankfully they are not far away now. We use their hand roasted coffee combined with the Wrecking Ball Baltic Porter to create this beer."
Got this on draft at Novare Res. It pours black with a large tan head. It was served in a large beer mug befitting the beer type.
The aroma is coffee upfront. Smooth, sweet with a chocolate malty nose.
The taste is like the nose coffee, silky smooth with a big mouth feel. The coffee taste gives was to a slight sweetness but finishes with a slight bitter bit it is not overwhelming.
I'm not much of a coffee person but this beer did it for me. Smooth and a fantastic mouth. The drinkability is a little low due to it being that it is a coffee beer.

Over at Novare Res.
Pours a dark dark brown almost black color, a huge brown head approaches the rim of the glass and takes its sweet time fading down, leaving a path of lacing destruction.
Smell is hugely coffee coupled with a large roasted malt aroma, hints of chocolate in the nose but it's the coffee that's the show.
The coffee tends to be slightly more muted in the taste but is still quite evident, the dark roasted malt becomes more of a player with a slight chocolate sweetness to balance the overall bitterness, good carbonation levels, not cloying in the least, the strength was well hidden by the coffee but you know it's there lurking.
This happened to be so good that I had planned on only having one but ended up ordering another, hope this becomes one of their frequent releases.

Tap at the Anniversary party.
Pours a light creamy head, dark molasses color, barely a touch of light coming through.
Nose nice fresh coffee, bit of roasted malt, hint chocolate, big porter like dark malts, fresh roasted coffee beans but more of the brewed coffee.
Taste brings chocolate and roast at first, then coffee, fresh brewed coffee, chewy creamy oats, some bitter earthy hops, a bit of bitterness from the roast, finish brings a light sticky syrupy flavor with long lingering coffee and roast, and fairly dry.
Mouth is bigger bodied, little creamy and rich, decent carb, light warming booze.
Overall pretty nice, great coffee presence, nice dark malts without acrid over roast or burnt flavors, big and fairly rich but still pretty drinkable. Very well done coffee porter.

First had: on tap at Three Tides, Belfast, ME
A high-alcohol (9.1%) porter made by brewing their Wrecking Ball Baltic Porter with Green Tree Coffee.
Poured dark brown-black with two finger of well-retaining tan head. Rather predicable aroma of coffee, roasty malts and semi-sweet chocolate, all of which translated into the taste, with a pretty good balance of the three...maybe the coffee bitterness slightly overpowering the others. Full bodied, smooth, and drinkable.
(Why do I only like coffee when it's in beer?)

Poured on-tap and served in a shaker pint, the beer is a brown to black coloring with a thin ring of film on the surface. Filmy and clingy throughout. Nose of Starbucks....holy shit! My nose is buried in coffee grounds. Flavors of bitter and roasted coffee grounds. Bitter, roasty, and holy shit! I know I keep saying that, but wow! This is a Folger's bomb in your mouth. Very bitter aftertaste. Very dry, roasty finish. Coffee lovers rejoice, this is your beer! Very tasty!

After an investigation, Smyrna police have learned that a girl claiming she was abducted was in fact, not abducted.
Gracie Crowe, 13, was reported missing Monday after she went out skating near her grandparents' home, not far from Ridgehurst Drive and Cutler Ridge.
Investigators found her running, frantic, about four miles from her grandparents' home several hours after she was reported missing.
Gracie told police an unidentified man pulled up in a van and grabbed her.
The follow-up investigation determined that there was no abduction.
Neighbors went door-to-door, handing out fliers, desperately trying to find the girl.
Juliette Willcoxon, who lives next door, said she thought the worst when she heard the girl was missing.
"It was really frightening," Willcoxon said. "I was afraid the same thing could've happened to me or my brother."
Willcoxon was so worried that she and her family printed the fliers after Gracie's grandfather found her skates and no other trace of her.
"I just couldn't imagine if anything like that happened to my family, my friends. I'd be so worried for them," Willcoxon said.
Raine Willcoxon, Juliette's younger brother, was the first person to spot Gracie's skates.
"It's just kind of scary knowing that in a safe neighborhood something like this can happen," he said on Monday.
Police did not release what exactly happened. The case is still being investigated.

Gov. Chris Christie has apologized to citizens, saying he's embarrassed by the actions of members of his administration in connection with the closing of bridge lanes as apparent political retribution.
Christie also announced that he has terminated the employment of Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Anne Kelly, who was connected to the scandal by emails released Wednesday.
"I have come out here to apologize to the people of New Jersey," Christie said during Thursday morning's news conference. "I apologize to the people of Fort Lee, and I apologize to the members of the state legislature. I am embarrassed and humiliated by the conduct of some of the people on my team. There's no doubt in my mind that the conduct that they exhibited is completely unacceptable and showed a lack of respect for the appropriate role of government and for the people that we're trusted to serve."
Meanwhile, the United States Attorney's General Office for the District of New Jersey now says it is looking into the matter.
"The Port Authority Office of Inspector General has referred the matter to us, and our office is reviewing it to determine whether a federal law was implicated," a spokeswoman for the office told FOX 29 News.
That confirmation came during Christie's marathon news conference, which lasted from a few minutes after 11 a.m. until just before 1 p.m.
WATCH REPLAY: Christie's Opening Statement At News Conference
"I believe that all of the people who were affected by this conduct deserve this apology," Christie said Thursday. "I mean, that's why I'm giving it to them. I also need to apologize to them for my failure as the governor of this state to understand the true nature of this problem sooner than I did."
As for Kelly's firing, Christie said,"I terminated her employment because she lied to me."
He went on to say that he's "heartbroken," "stunned" and not interested in his aide's explanation.
The lane closures on the George Washington Bridge last summer caused gridlock in the town of Fort Lee.
Although officials from the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey initially blamed a "traffic study," local officials denied that was the case. Rumors began swirling that they could be political payback on Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich because he refused to endorse Christie's re-election bid, and state legislators began an investigation.
Christie, a former federal prosecutor himself, said he brought his senior staff together almost four weeks ago and issued a one-hour ultimatum to anyone with information about the case to come forward with it.
The Republican governor says he was told that there was no information other than what they already knew from port officials' testimony before the state legislature, and he followed up by questioning his two direct reports, his chief of staff and his chief counsel.
Christie then, at that time, publicly denied that he or his administration had anything to do with the lane closures.
Emails released Wednesday, however, included an exchange between Kelly, Christie's deputy chief of staff, and David Wildstein, the governor's longtime friend and a port authority official.
In the messages, Kelly writes, "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."
Wildstein replies, "Got it."
One of the released text messages came from Fort Lee's Mayor Mark Sokolich, pleading for help because kids couldn't get to school.
Other reports indicate that emergency responders were delayed in getting to some calls as a result of the traffic tie-ups.
Wildstein and another Christie appointee, Bill Baroni, the port authority's deputy executive director, both resigned last month.
Wildstein was called to testify on the lane closures Thursday at a hearing in Trenton. His attorney filed a court motion seeking to have the subpoena quashed, but at lunchtime Thursday a judge denied that request.
Then, when he Wildstein did appear, he asserted his right to remain silent, citing the advice of his lawyer and refusing to say where he previously worked. Wildstein's lawyer said his client would assert the right to silence on all questions, and the committee chairman said he could be accused of contempt.
Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee issued a statement that said Christie failed to failed to take swift action and "ignored questions and responsibility for more than 120 days, until his administration was finally caught red-handed."
The DNC's statement began, "For nearly two hours today, Chris Christie stood up and repeatedly made himself out to be the victim. He lauded himself for swift action in firing staffers for lying to him. And he argued that this was not reflective of the culture he's created in his office. But Chris Christie is not the victim. The people of New Jersey who trusted him are."
Christie did reiterate several times Thursday that he takes responsibility for the actions of his team, that he was told it was a "traffic study," and he learned of the emails Wednesday morning.
The governor said he hasn't even gotten to the angry stage yet, though he added, "I'm sure I'll get there," FOX 29's Jeff Cole reported from the news conference.
Christie brushed aside questions about whether the scandal will factor into consideration of a run for president, saying, "My job is to be governor of New Jersey."
Christie said he kept his wife, Mary Pat, up Wednesday night as he pondered what went wrong: "That's what I was thinking: How did it happen, and why do people do this? I just don't get it."
Christie seemed to begin to get choked up as he said, "You know, I work really hard, I work hard at this job, and it's incredibly disappointing to have people let you down this way."
He added, "I'm incredibly loyal to my people, and I expect in return their honesty and their candor, and their loyalty. And I didn't get it. And, it's a hard thing, a hard thing after you work as hard as I do, with them, at it.
"But, here's the thing: This is my job, and there are going to be mistakes. There are going to be disappointments. I don't think there's a perfect government anywhere in the country, and I certainly never claimed to have one. I claimed to have the best government I can possibly make, and sometimes there are going to be mistakes. And when there are, I have to own up to them and act. And that's what I have done today."
And Christie pledged to take any other action necessary, if more information comes out.

I am pretty sure this is severe but would like to know where it is coming from. I jus got my 1973 Chevy Camaro on the road from a full restoration The block is a 4 bolt main 350 Chevy SB Carburetored. I had totally worked over EVERYTHING on this motor everything is new on this motor except the Heads and the block itself. When I first got the motor running 2 studs backed out of the heads and it threw a pushrod and 2 of my rocker arms were destroyed luckily the pushrod was jus laying underneath the intake and didnt fall down into the crankcase I was not happy with the guy that assembled my heads So I had the heads Reworked and put in ARP locking studs and guiding plates from the same guy that built my motor. I took it to get the front end aligned and get everything checked out It failed a pressure cooling system test and a block test failed imediately. I jus want to know if its in the heads or the block. My guess is the heads are cracked but I dont know. I don't think coolant was gettin in the oil cause I checked the dipstick and didnt see any traces of water but I could be wrong I havent drained the oil yet. Im jus wandering what I should do I worked so hard to get this car on the road and now its crippled and I need some advice on where to go from here. If you need more info on my problem please ask and ill reply as swiftly as I can. my e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com or my AIM is SCH411 If you want pictures or anything any help would be gratly Appreciated! thanks everyone!
Obviously it's leaking either into a cylinder(s) or has a crack in an port, most likely an exhaust. Sounds like you need a different engine assembler if you're not going to do this yourself.
You're going to have to take the heads off and hunt for the source of the leak. This could be a gasket problem; head gaskets or intake could be leaking. Several reasons for this that range from warped heads or block to improper/inadaquate bolt torque, or the intake may be warped, head or manifold, or have bolt torque, or gasket registration problems. Check to see if this set up places cooling water around the base of the carb, which can be a leakage source.
Cracks can be in the block, heads, intake manifold. You sight that a couple rocker studs pulled out, that's a good area to start looking for problems. Unless you went to a big cam and high spring pressures this shouldn't happen. They may have pulled out as the result of a crack, or caused a crack when they came out. Milling these heads can promote warpage or result in enough flex to where a gasket cannot hold a seal. Overboring the block can result in insufficient cylinder wall thickness that leads to flexing of the cylinder wall which may also crack especially toward the head deck region or at the base with the crankcase.
These post 1968/69 engines are really crack prone, especially the heads. The castings are thin to start with and become unstable if much milling has been done. A through magna-flux, visual, and pressure inspections are required primarily for the heads but also the block and intake, this needs to be done prior to a rebuild insure that the castings are sound.
What may have happened is when the intake manifold was taken off there are two coolant plugs covering the two rear ports one of these plugs may have possibly not been place back in the port this is probably far fetched but my answer this will also turn you oil milky
Have you ever used anything on head bolts for fear they go into the watter jacket? I used to use permetex # 2. I look back on this now and think that was stupid because of the way it must have effected the torque reading on the wrench.But i never had one fail.They were all 305s that i just put 184 intake valve heads from g engines on h code engines not a high dollar buildup with studs etc.
I haven't used Permatex on bolts going through to the water jacket but I don't see why that would (n't) work. Yes it might mess torque readings, but Chevy bolts come with a Teflon coating and the manual specifies the use of Teflon plumbers tape or teflon based plumbers paste. So the factory torque ratings are based upon having something that provides lubrication and sealage on the bolts.
I did an edit found that I used "would" where it should have read "wouldn't); see " (n't) as added. Sorry for any confusion this created.
Note the teflon coating on factory head bolts is why it is not recommented that they be cleaned with a die or wire brush as this will remove the coating. However, taking your shiney clean bolt and wraping the threads in teflon plumbers tape or paste will restore it to usefullness.
I wonder what castings he has this book i have shows some light castings and says not to use them. Was his engine out of a 1 ton that pulled 10 thousand pounds uo hill on a 100degree day?
White smoke coming out the tail pipe usually means there is coolant leaking inside the combustion chamber inside the engine or there is automatic transmission fluid leaking inside the combustion chamber. The first thing to check would be the radiator low on coolant? If so, you get a cooling system pressure test to determine if there is an internal coolant leak in your engine. Blown head gaskets are the first thing that comes to mind here and this pressure test should reveal this to you.
I'm sure the motor done come apart after 6 years
Yup, your right. Just for future reference though
Hi there, What are the spark plugs showing?..You may have a problem valve seat or shot head gasket..
When I read things like this it reminds me of why I build my own stuff. There are some out there that will take advantage or just don't know what they are doing and in most cases it is the latter. Pull this motor apart, have the heads pressure checked, look at the head and intake gasket for possible leaks and if that fails have your block checked for cracks. It is OK to use used stuff but it must be thoroughly checked before hand.

A 58-year-old man was killed in a wreck in Cherokee County on Monday afternoon, according to troopers.
The Highway Patrol reported on their website that the wreck happened at 2:09 p.m. on SC Highway 110, Highway 11 and Alternate 221, near the Cowpens Battlefield.
Coroner Dennis Fowler said Samuel Wofford III was killed in the three-vehicle collision.
According to Fowler, Wofford was headed east on Highway 11 when he first collided with a 2004 Honda Odyssey van that was headed south.
Wofford's vehicle then spun, causing the door to open and the man to be ejected, according to Fowler.
"After disregarding the red light, there was no indication at the scene that he attempted to apply brakes. I will be looking to see if a medical condition could have played a role in the fatal collision," Fowler said.
Wofford was pronounced dead at the scene.
Fowler said one of the other drivers was transported to Spartanburg Regional Hospital and another had only minor injures.

...meant to say "more snap and shallower depth of field..."
Correct. The standard focusing screens in all modern dSLRs are laser microetched to provide a brighter viewfinder for typical consumer lenses, the majority of which are f/3.5-5.6 or something similar. The consequence of that laser microetching is that lenses faster than f/2.8 (e.g. f/2 or f/1.4) show the depth of field of about f/2.5. With a fast lens, it's easy to confirm this, just hold down the DoF preview button as you stop down, and you won't see the viewfinder get any dimmer until you hit about f/2.5. The light is still getting in, it's just blocked by the focusing screen. Interestingly, you can directly see this on the 7D, because light 'washes out' an LCD display. So, with my 7D and 85mm f/1.2L II, stopping down from f/1.2 to f/2.5, the viewfinder gets no darker, but the transmissive LCD showing the AF points does get progressively less washed out (on a sunny day at f/1.2, it's actually a bit hard to see the AF points).
Screens like the Eg-S for the 5DII offer a brighter VF and show the true DoF for fast lenses. But the consequence is a dimmer VF with slower lenses, so it's hard to see to compose, let alone focus, with an f/5.6 lens in a dimly lit room.

There are a ton of stories recently talking about the riff between Sir Ferguson and Wayne Rooney.
There are also rumors that Wayne has refused to re-negotiate with ManU on his contract (set to expire in the summer of 2012).
Some websites have speculated that Rooney may go abroad (like most ManU players do eventually). One Toffee website has been discussing the possibility that Wayne may come back home again to Everton.
There has been discussion that if Rooney is sold we get a 25% cut of any profit made by ManU on the sale. Basically any money over 25.6 million pounds for a Rooney transfer - we get a 25% cut of it.
Also there is the possibility that maybe Rooney wants to return to Goodison.
Do I think he will return to Goodison Park as a Blue again - no. Would I welcome it - yes. I mean he left because Everton was almost regulated in 03-04 and he wanted European football. Well he has had all that now at ManU and maybe he wants to come back to the club of his childhood. Once a Blue, Always a Blue.
