Chris joined WBAY in 1999, after four years with WISN-TV (ABC) in Milwaukee. As WISN's primary beat reporter on the Green Bay Packers, he had the opportunity to cover both Super Bowl XXXI and XXXII. Milwaukee is also where Chris began his career, taking a job as a part-time editor and sports producer upon graduating from Marquette University.
His first on-air job came in La Crosse as a reporter, and eventually sports director. During his time there, he worked on the state broadcasts of the WIAA Boys and Girls State Basketball Tournaments
Chris considers himself fortunate to have covered a variety of major sporting events, from the Super Bowls to the MLB All-Star Game, the NBA Playoffs, and two PGA Championships. His one-on-one interviews with Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods are two career highlights, though he has interviewed many other high-profile athletes (including, of course, Green Bay Packers players).
Chris has won awards from the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association and the Milwaukee Press Club, and most recently, a 2009 Edward R. Murrow regional award. Other honors include two Midwest Emmy nominations and being named a finalist for Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year in 2004. Chris also freelances as a play-by-play announcer. He has been the voice of the Green Bay Phoenix Men's Basketball team the last two seasons, and spent a few years as the voice of the Packers Preseason Telecasts. In addition, Chris has called quite a bit of college basketball for Marquette's television package and for ESPN Plus.
Chris lives in Green Bay with his wife and two daughters. In his free time, he enjoys golfing and scuba diving (when the rare opportunity presents itself).

Select Route:
As you approach the Big Rock from the south, this is that left-of-crack section most likely to catch your eye. A cool-looking projection shaped roughly like South America creates the foundation for one of this boulder's most adventurous problems. Despite its low grade (due to a simpler top out) you're likely to spend at least one or two minutes puzzling over the start. The arete at right is off route. Sit directly beneath Brazil and use the flat, vertical jug lowest to the ground as your liftoff hold. Move immediately left from the start, gripping any part of South America (besides the arete) for handholds, including the deep pocket right above Chile [watch out for bees?]. Go right onto the map and top out slightly left of the start. That's Viva Brasil!

Some sort of crashpad or cushions are a must here, unless someone wants to yank up all the large bone-snapping rock debris below this problem.

Bridgwater brothers beat up transsexual in street attack, court heard
8:30pm Monday 27th January 2014 in News By Michael Marsh
TWO brothers who attacked a transsexual in the street have been spared a prison sentence.
Luke and Nathan Statton, of Bridgwater, assaulted the victim after "a laugh" turned sour.
Both admitted assault and received suspended sentences at Taunton Crown Court today (January 27).
Luke, 24, of Penzoy Avenue, was given an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, while Nathan, 23, of Monmouth Street, was sentenced to five months in prison, also suspended for two years.
Sentencing, Judge Eric Salomonsen said: "I have seen the CCTV of this unprovoked attack. I have no doubt homophobic remarks were used.
"Luke Statton, you pushed home this assault by kicking and standing on her.
"If either of you put a foot out of line for the next two years you know what is going to happen."
The incident happened at around 6.30pm on March 27 last year when the brothers, who used to live in the flat above, were walking past the victim's home and Luke kicked over a sign outside the house.
Prosecuting, Rebecca Bradberry said the pair knew the female victim when she was a man before her operation and in a police interview Luke said they were "having a laugh".
However, it was said the victim retaliated and stormed out of the house, before being pushed by Luke.
The court heard the victim tried to swing back but missed, at which point Nathan punched her in the face.
It was then that Luke continued to kick and stamp on the victim while she lay helplessly on the ground.
Defending Luke, Emma Martin said any suggestion of hostility towards sexuality was not true and added: "This was an incident of mischief.
"He is upset at his actions and does not afford any ill-will to the victim."
Defending Nathan, Simon Cooper said: "He struck in defence of his brother. Nathan bitterly regrets his involvement and is a hard working young man."
Luke was also ordered to pay £250 compensation, £200 in costs and £100 victim surcharge while Nathan has to pay £250 compensation, £100 victim surcharge and £600 in costs as he only pleaded guilty on the day of trial.

In the last three election cycles —2004, 2006 and 2008— the majority of young people voted for the Democratic Party. In 2008, 66 percent of those under the age of 30 voted for President Barack Obama, making the gap between young voters and other age groups larger than in any presidential election since CBS's exit polling began in 1972.
Though the 2010 midterm elections are favoring Republicans, a Gallup Poll reported registered voters aged 18-29 still favor the Democrats by 55 percent to 36 percent over Republicans; resulting in the widest generational gaps so far this year in the vote for Congress.
In hopes to mobilize the youth vote, Obama spoke to 225 college students and young voters at a televised town hall meeting hosted my MTV, BET and CMT on Oct. 14. This was part of a coordinated effort by White House and Democratic campaign officials to keep young people from sitting out of the November Election.
This is not the first time a President has spoken at an MTV town. President Bill Clinton in 1994 was famously asked whether he wore boxers or briefs; however, Obama face questions or foreign and domestic policies.
President Obama said he anticipated more bipartisan cooperation after the midterm elections next month, while condemning Republicans over tax policy and undisclosed donors through the political debate.
In a new poll, conducted by the Associated Press and a division of Viacom's MTV networks called mtvU, showed 44 percent of students approve of Obama's job performance. In May 2009 that figure was 60 percent.
The format of the town hall was meant to draw in young voters, but it was like Obama's other town hall meetings. Instead of a more personable persona, he gave lengthy answers in serious tones. Obama steered clear of emotions while fielding expressly emotional questions questions from students expressing hurt or fear.
Obama took a strong stand against the ban on gays serving openly in the military, but said he had to operate within the U.S. law. On October 12, Federal Judge Virginia Phillips of California ordered to an end to the enforcement of the federal law known as "don't ask, don't tell," but the Obama Administration asked the court on October 14 to set aside the ruling until they can appeal the law.
On immigration, Obama emphasized that he spent more money on border security than other presidents before him. He said that he supports the passage of the DREAM Act, which will allow the children of illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as minors to gain citizenship after attending college or serving in the military.
This was not the first appearance. other appearances to energize young voters in an effort to repair bonds with young voters, who were at the heart of his political base. He appeared before 26,000 people at the University of Wisconsin in September.
Obama is also scheduled to speak at a rally at Ohio State University with the First Lady, Michelle Obama, on Oct. 17 and will lead another rally at the University of Southern California on Oct. 22.

Plan for swimming pool complex at home near Coniston Cold rejected (From Craven Herald)

Plan for swimming pool complex at home near Coniston Cold rejected
8:00am Friday 21st February 2014 in News
Plans to "gentrify" the grounds of a listed estate house near Coniston Cold and build a swimming pool complex have been refused permission by Craven District Council.
Work at Stainton Cotes, Moorber Lane, including the removal of a large part of woodland, had started but came to a halt last year following a visit from enforcement officers, the council's planning committee was told.
Following the issuing of the stop notice in August, two applications – for the change of use of a field to formal, landscaped gardens and for the building of a swimming pool, snooker room and cinema – were submitted to the council, along with one for listed building consent.
At last week's meeting, councillors agreed with the recommendation of planning officer Neville Watson that it would be sporadic and unacceptable development and refused all applications.
It will now be up to applicant Gordon Halton whether or not to appeal to the Planning Inspectorate against the decision of the council.
Agent JO Steel told councillors that the woodland behind the house had traditionally been felled to fuel the woodburners and claimed there was a "high degree of stewardship" at the important heritage asset.
He said the aim to build a series of formal terraces could be compared to estates such as Stone Gappe, Lothersdale, and that the swimming pool complex would be partially dug into the ground, but could be completely underground, if that was what the committee wanted. But although some thought the changes were acceptable, the majority of councillors believed them to be an unacceptable sub-urbanisation and the manicuring of what had been countryside.
Ward councillor Alan Sutcliffe (Cons), who pointed out that the parish council had objected, said many people in the area were concerned about the enormity of the work taking place and recommended refusal.

Jewelry store employee transporting cash, jewelry says he was forced off I-5 in Oceanside and robbed
Incident occurred Friday night near Harbor Drive
OCEANSIDE, Calif. - An Orange County jeweler transporting cash, jewelry and precious stones from El Cajon claimed he was forced off Interstate 5 in Oceanside and robbed, a sheriff's sergeant said Saturday.
The employee of Brilliant Diamonds in La Palma, near Los Angeles, was in El Cajon Friday buying and trading jewelry and other precious stones. He told deputies that, as he headed back north around 8:30 p.m. Friday night, he was approaching Harbor Drive when a driver behind him began flashing his high beams, sheriff's Sgt. Dustin Lopez said.
The jeweler thought the other driver was trying to alert him to some type of problem and slowed down. A different vehicle pulled up alongside the victim, with a gun-wielding man in the passenger seat, according to the victim, Lopez said.
The gunman motioned for the jewelry store employee to pull over, and he immediately pulled to the shoulder, according to the victim, Lopez said.
The drivers of the two suspect vehicles blocked the jeweler's car in, according to victim's account. The gunman walked up to the man's vehicle and demanded cash and jewelry, which were then handed over, Lopez said.
The victim was not injured, as the two cars disappeared north on Interstate 5, Lopez said.
No description was provided by the victim.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the sheriff's department at (858) 565-5200, or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

CATEGORIES MoviesWith 2012 serving up double the Sylvester Stallone -- in the axe-wielding "Bullet to the Head" and the muscle-bound "Expendables 2" -- it looks like we're in the midst of a Sly Renaissance.
After some scheduling conflicts, it looks like still-ripped star may still headline Mikael Hafstrom's ("The Rite") upcoming drama, "The Tomb" -- and he might bring Arnold Schwarzengger underground with him
The film follows a man who has created a high-tech prison that is said to be escape-proof. (Famous last words.) The character then has to outsmart himself when he is set up and incarcerated in the cell.
This isn't Schwarzenegger's first tango with "The Tomb" script; he once considered playing the lead role, (Bruce Willis was also linked to the project, with Antoine Fuqua to direct).
Apparently, Arnie's been approached about the role and, as Deadline points out, the Arnold-Sly duo makes "too much sense not to happen."
(Famous last words. Again.)
"Bullet to the Head" hits theaters April 13; "The Expendables 2" arrives August 17.

The Carolina Panthers should have won Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks and it's impossible to justify why they didn't. That was the best opportunity the team could have to take advantage of a battered and bruised Seattle team. The Seahawks had multiple injuries, were playing on the East coast in an early game and were ripe for the picking. Ultimately a combination of offensive passivity, lackluster play calling and defensive fatigue all lead to a loss.
When is Cam Newton going to catch a break? Once again the narrative will be about how he can't win in the 4th quarter, while Russell Wilson can. The difference was play calling, as Seattle kept showing they had nothing to lose -- while the Panthers continually help desperately on to the thin lead, almost scared of trying to win. Newton was let down by his receivers, but even more by his play calling that held him to only 125 yards passing and 37 in the second half.
Blaming Greg Olsen and DeAngelo Williams is a coping mechanism, an excuse to ignore the biggest issue on the team which is (and has been) coaching. Ron Rivera can't manage the clock, Mike Shula couldn't adjust in the second half -- and everything felt oh so familiar.
Seattle is a very good team with a lot of depth and talent, but the Seahawks are being elevated to world-beater status in the postmortem. This is a defense that allowed 306 yards per game last year and allowed an average of 15 points. The Panthers only gained 243 yards and scored seven points -- with several defensive starters missing for Seattle. It's impossible to see this offense as anything but below average. Carolina has the 5th worst offense in the NFL right now in yards gained, the 2nd worst in points scored and 3rd worst in yards per passing attempt.
If Newton is being honest that the Panthers ran their game plan when they decided not to pass deep I'm hoping Mike Shula realizes where his bread is buttered, and quickly.
The silver lining (and yes, there's a silver lining) is the defense -- particularly the youth. Star Lotulelei and Luke Kuechly were sensational, even though their games wont move the needle when you stare at a box score. Similarly, the pass rush as a whole was excellent even though they only sacked Russell Wilson twice.
Star Lotulelei -- Extremely optimistic
Here is my game MVP for Carolina, and it's not really close. Registering four tackles from a nose tackle position is impressive, but it was his ability to manipulate the pocket that made the difference on defense. Russell Wilson didn't do well dealing with pressure up the middle and with a little offensive help this could have been the difference.
Charles Johnson -- Extremely optimistic
Johnson was the most effective pass rusher other than Lotulelei and his sack-fumble on Wilson helped mitigate the bone-headed ejection of Frank Alexander (more on that later).
Luke Kuechly -- Extremely optimistic
It's just Luke being Luke. Flying around the field and making tackles. It says something when nine tackles is ho-hum. At some point in time he's going to take over another game like he did against Baltimore, but it wasn't yesterday.
Essentially everything else -- Extremely pessimistic
The perfect mixture of a failure cake was dropped passes, DeAngelo Williams' fumble and gutless offensive play calling in the second half. Don't forget Frank Alexander acting like an idiot and forcing pass rushers to play extra downs, or Armond Smith not learning from his mistake.
It's not just one thing, and that's not very reassuring. The upside it that it's week one, which means there's plenty of times to correct these issues. Cam Newton had a 5.4 YPA -- those are Jimmy Clausen passing numbers. Mike Shula needs to realize who his quarterback is and what he excels at.
The defense are absolved of all responsibility, even their breakdowns in the secondary (you get a pass this one week Josh Thomas). They faced a Seattle offense in the second half that had the advantage in possession, and Frank Alexander's stupidity changed the pass rush rotation, which had a domino effect on the entire defense. Russell Wilson was sensational in the second half and he's good enough to torch most teams -- but Newton could have (and should have) been allowed to keep the Panthers in step.
Overall outlook
No week 1 game is 'must win', but next week's contest against Buffalo got a lot more interesting. The Bills are far better than anticipated, and it's hard to see this game as a 'gimme' anymore. E.J. Manuel is poised and their defense gave New England everything it could handle.
Carolina will always be in games when its pass rush can get push, but something has to change on offense. It will be interesting to see what Shula and co. can do against a defense that held Tom Brady to 288 yards passing on 52 attempts.

Chess Match: Yanks' gamble backfires
Wang pitches just one-plus inning in must-win Game 4
NEW YORK -- That's all she wrote. Both the Yankees and Indians gambled with their respective starters in a critical Game 4, but New York's ace flopped to help send Cleveland to its first American League Championship Series since 1998.Chien music
The situation: With their season on the line, the Yankees could either turn to 19-game winner Chien-Ming Wang or veteran Mike Mussina for the start in a critical Game 4.
The situation: With one out in the fourth and the Indians holding a 4-1 lead, Mussina has runners on second and third base with Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner standing in the batter's box.
The situation: Cleveland carries a 6-3 lead into the ninth inning, sitting just three outs away from eliminating the Yankees and winning the Division Series.
The analysis: "They have Mariano Rivera, throwing 94 [mph] and carving up the strike zone, and we throw our blue-collar closer, Joe Borowski. He doesn't have the best fastball or the best ERA, but that's how we do it. That's how we've been winning all year, playing as a team and working together." --Indians starter Paul Byrd

Probably the least favorite chore I need to do as I prepare for Christmas here at Regal-Hill is shopping for gifts. The problem is ideas and I prefer that it is something that is useful.
Now that Allegra has a horse I may think of something Thunder needs and thus save her from buying it for him. Well, so much for that; when I checked, a blanket had just been ordered on-line. Maybe that is all right since it is snowing quite a bit as I write this, and Thunder really needs it now so I wouldn't want to wait until Christmas to get it.
It is rather chilly here at Regal-Hill today. One can tell Thanksgiving Day is almost here. Being that is so late this year there won't be as many days to get ready for Christmas. Apparently this hasn't stopped many stores from getting decorated and stocked for the Christmas season way before Thanksgiving.
About a week ago Yellow returned to Regal-Hill. Yellow is a big, yellow shorthaired tomcat that was born and grew up here and then left. We never thought we would see him again. Everyone was so happy when he came back. He has the best purr and loving, happy disposition of any cat I have known.
Winter has started early here at Regal-Hill. We have 8-10 inches of heavy, wet snow and the power has been off several times already, making it even worse.
It all started Saturday night when we got heavy rain and wind causing the power to go off.
We recently returned to Regal-Hill from vacation with a welcome home sign. Allegra made the sign and, I think with her uncle's help, put it up. It said, "Welcome home grandma and grandpa." One would think we had been away a long time. Actually it was only a week and a day that we were gone.
Now that we have had several frosts here at Regal-Hill, it is time to clean up the flowers and garden. As soon as we got the first damaging frost, I pulled or dug up the Dahlias and Gladiolus bulbs. Then I cut off the tops and prepared them to dry before storing them.
Although George finally finished haying for the year here at Regal-Hill, there still seems to be plenty to do. Now that the pastures aren't growing as fast as they were, hay is taken to the pasture where the heifers are, nearly every day. We don't want to put them in the barn any sooner than we have to, hopefully not until the first of November.
It was a bit cool here at Regal-Hill this morning. Even though the sun was out it hadn't warmed up much yet. As I left the house for my morning walk I picked up the mail I had ready to take to the mailbox and as I reached the corner of the house I could hear a fire siren going off. I returned to the house to tell George, who was burning papers in the furnace to warm up the house.
It looks like the sun has finally decided to shine today in earnest here at Regal-Hill. The previous two days weren't very good for drying or anything else since it stayed so windy, cloudy and cool. This time of year the sun makes such a difference in how warm it feels.
Finally, George is going to try and mow some more hay. He gave up wanting to harvest another cutting in the meadow, so soon the heifers will get to enjoy it and mow it for themselves. Thunder, Allegra's horse, is already in the meadow where he has been fenced in. He seems to be enjoying it even though he can't chase the heifers now.
Life here at Regal-Hill has been rather boring lately. We finally got a good rain and wind, then it didn't want to dry off so more hay could be dried or other outside work could be done. We still have berries to pick, a garden to harvest and flowers to cut or stake. Every morning I am thankful there hasn't been any frost yet.

NBCRightNow.com - Washington state is leading an effort to help replace toxic chemicals in products.
The state helped publish a guide for companies interested in finding safer alternatives to potentially harmful chemicals.
Washington partnered with eight other states through Interstate Chemicals Clearinghouse (IC2) to develop the voluntary guide. The guide provides technical assistance to companies that want to reduce or eliminate their use of toxic chemicals.
"This is an important tool that will help companies identify safer materials," said Washington Department of Ecology Director Maia Bellon. "We commend businesses who are taking a proactive approach to remove toxic chemicals from everyday consumer products.
Alternatives assessment helps companies made more informed choices about their use of toxic chemicals. The process helps them consider the potential harm these chemicals could have on human health and the environment.
More retailers and manufacturers are recognizing the need to use safer substances. For instance, Wal-Mart and Target recently announced sustainable chemical and product standards that call for more ingredient disclosure, reducing or eliminating chemicals of concern, and safer substitution.
The US Environmental Protection Agency and other organizations have developed an extensive array of tools to help prioritize and assess chemicals. Companies and organizations such as Hewlett Packard, the American Apparel & Footwear Association, and the Outdoor Industry Association's Chemicals Management Working Group are working to drive continuous improvement and innovation in chemicals management practices.

Some Moorhead homes lost water Wednesday because of water main breaks. The first happened on the 1300 block of 7th Avenue North. The other was in the area of 4th Avenue and 17th Street South.
Public works officials say they have had a few more water main breaks lately, likely due to the recent dry spell which causes problems for older water mains.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Viewers may remember a promise that WDRB made to you in June.
This came in the form of a news promo that aired on WDRB.
"News is seldom actually breaking, and quite often isn't even news," the WDRB News promo stated. "At WDRB, we never use that term. We believe the relationship you have with your television station shouldn't begin with a deception."
That news promo began airing in June, and on Sunday, WDRB General Manager Bill Lamb was on CNN's Reliable Sources, to talk about the message.
He says while some things are breaking, most are not. Lamb says many stories that are old are still labeled as Breaking News.
"We believe that it's a marketing gimmick, and to be honest, it's probably a pretty powerful marketing gimmick, but it's not about journalism. So we just decided a relationship between a station and its viewers shouldn't begin with a deception, and we think it's deceptive," Bill Lamb said in an interview on Reliable Sources.
Bill Lamb went on to say he doesn't believe most journalists really like being put in the position of having to claim that everything is breaking news.

By TED SANTANIELLO, Fit Bits
---- — According to a position statement posted by the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association, one out of every four Americans have some form of cardiovascular disease.
In light of this trend, the U.S. surgeon general has been promoting physical activity. This can be seen with the huge growth of the fitness industry within the last 10 years. Many families now include exercise into their daily regimen. In short, this change is obviously a positive one. By promoting health and wellness, the United States is becoming more proactive as they aim to prevent these health issues in the first place or manage the condition long term rather than relying solely on medication to fix the problem.
Exercise, when done properly, is safe and effective at reducing disease. The American College of Sports Medicine states that those with cardiac disease, however, are up to 10 times more likely to have a cardiovascular event, such as a heart attack, when exercising. The organization also shows evidence that many fitness facilities do not regularly screen for such disorders before allowing membership to their facility. Screens that can quickly identify risk factors are a valuable and necessary tool for ensuring the safety of exercise participants. Without them, many at-risk individuals will be placed in a dangerous situation that could result in serious injury or death. With this in mind, is it very important that when you go to any athletic or wellness facility you check to make sure they are doing certain types of screening. Screens should not only check for cardiovascular disease, but also for metabolic and pulmonary disorders. There are three important steps to the screening process.
The PAR-Q, or Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire, is a quick and easy screen to identify any at-risk individuals. It usually consists of seven or eight questions and will easily show immediate concerns.
This questionnaire is easy enough to use that facilities sometimes use the sales or service representatives to initiate it, although it is preferred that an exercise specialist be present. Every exercise facility should at least require a PAR-Q in order to join their center, but the form is not always extensive enough to ensure that all at-risk individuals are identified.
The next important step in the screening process is the Medical History Form. Not all exercise facilities will use this form, but those that do are going the extra mile to help make your experience at their center safer. This form will also alert the exercise specialist to any specific limitations that you may have.
These questions are more specific and involve inquiries about family history, current and past injuries, metabolic and pulmonary disorders, as well as some specific subdivisions of these diseases. Because this form is more specific and has to be completed by an exercise specialist, the chance of identifying conditions is much higher.
The fitness assessment — another screening tool that exercise specialists use — is essential to knowing your starting point as well as your limitations when beginning an exercise program. If they find something is wrong during one of these tests, they can refer the member back to their primary physician for further examination.
This assessment can vary between facilities and can differ depending on doctor's consent, age, physical condition, as well as any limitations found from the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire and Medical History Form. A well-run facility will have several tests for a diverse population. Once completed, both you and the exercise specialist will have a better understanding of the level you are currently at. The reports will also help you get started on an exercise program.
Gyms that omit this step but offer orientations on the equipment are only guessing at what your current fitness level is, opening the door to injury. When joining a facility that includes a comprehensive screening process, you can be better assured that you are truly pr
epared to exercise. With the high number of at-risk individuals in the United States, fitness facilities must do more than just the minimum when it comes to screening for cardiovascular, metabolic and pulmonary risks to ensure the safety of their members. It is not only a liability issue; it's a public health issue.

Re: wonder why the engine won't turn over?
What was the condition when you opened the oil pan? was that rod still attached to the crank? i presume there was no water in it as the casting plug was out in the rear, is that right? is the sleeve cracked or scored? the answers to those questions would help tell what happened.
Re: wonder why the engine won't turn over?
Further inspection today didn't reveal any scoring or cracks in the block, cylinder, or crank. Other then some surface scale from having water in the cylinders appear to be in good condition. I have not measured them yet but I did notice that there was no ridge worn in the top of the cylinder. i wonder if the they were new/refurbished when the rod bent.

Re: wonder why the engine won't turn over?
There was very little water left in the coolant system. The cylinder was not scored or cracked and the rod was still connected to the crank when I removed the pan. There was water in the oil pan but no metal pieces. I'll follow Eugene's advice and have the shop check everything over. Thanks for the advice fella's. its nice knowing you are here to help
Re: wonder why the engine won't turn over?
John mentioned something that appears to be on target. the tractor took a creek bath while running at speed. snorted a load of water into an otherwise healthy motor, and hydrolocked. the bent rod like that can only happen to a motor turning substantial RPM's. the water went to the oil pan, leaving no evidence. nothing else seems to fit what you found inside. now as to how the casting plug was ejected???? and when? i have no idea?
I love a mystery!
i'd be inclined to put it together if the sleeves were good, and the rings were in spec or close. a careful inspection and cleaning, of course, and re install the 2" casting plug in the rear with some sealant and a hammer.
Re: wonder why the engine won't turn over?
oh, of course you need a new rod and piston.
i think i'd have the crank checked for straightness as well.
I just looked at the pictures ofthe motor in the other thread. looks like a sleeve and piston kit, bearings, etc are in order.

Arjen Robben dances through the bunched-up Real Madrid defence and looks to play in Mario Gomez for what would be a very interesting second away goal. Unfortunately for Bayern Munich, Pepe is there to intercept and Real Madrid can clear. That's about the most interesting thing that's happened recently, because the game seems to have gotten a little bit bogged down (relative to the craziness of earlier) in a midfield battle. Lots of little fouls, but nothing really doing.
That said, one of those little fouls has just resulted in Karim Benzema bursting free down the right while Bayern's back line went to sleep, and his effort had to be well saved by Manuel Neuer, his first action of the half. Then the visitors march back up the other end of the pitch and Mario Gomez has a deflected shot saved by Iker Casillas. We're back to craziness, I see.
We have live coverage of the game in our Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich StoryStream. For more on the two teams, head over to Real Madrid blog Managing Madrid and Bayern Munich blog Bavarian Football Works.

FOOTBALL: Oxford City building for bright future
9:30am Thursday 20th March 2014 in Football By Dan Robinson, Reporter covering Witney and West Oxfordshire. Call me on 01865 425483
RELEGATION would not derail plans to turn Oxford City into a Football League club, according to its co-owner.
American businessman Thomas Guerriero said the Skrill North club is financially sound and he plans to invest in facilities and players ahead of next season no matter which division the club is in.
City occupy a relegation place in the table, but boosted their chances of avoiding the drop with a 2-1 victory over fellow strugglers Histon on Tuesday night.
Speaking ahead of that game, Guerriero, who co-owns the club with the Oxford City Charitable Company, said he was positive over the future, despite the team's perilious position.
"We're very excited about the financial components right now and the future looks very bright," he said.
"A lot of clubs out there are struggling financially.
"If we go down, nothing will change our overall plan, it just delays us by one extra year.
"This will be a blip on the radar of what we're looking to do in the future. We're dead set in our plans and I can't emphasise how excited I am about the direction of where we're going.
"We're very confident that the system we're putting in place will see us competing for promotion every year."
Guerriero visited Oxford for five days this week, taking in games against Boston and Histon. "My passion for football is second to none," he said.
"I think people will be shocked by what we accomplish here in the next few years.
"This is not a flash in the pan and our future is going to be tremendous.
"I wouldn't be here unless I had a strong interest in building the brand and injecting a significant amount of capital to assist in its growth."
He added: "We're looking to expand the club in terms of facilities and bring in better players.
"If we go up the ranks and into the Football League then we're going to draw the fans."

Most of the time, I feel like my style is straightforward. I try to be simple, but I have been known to veer to the dandy side with certain details. This DIY is going to be one of them. I grew up in Kansas and remember wearing lace up Justin Ropers about 20 years before UO carried the awkward knock-offs. The Justins were certainly more of a statement than my regular ropers, but I liked them… Especially when really worn in. I wore holes in them, had them resoled and they just got better.
Jump to present day and I'm wearing a pair of Red Wing Brogue Rangers. Somewhat fancy with the brogue details, but just the right amount. Then I'm goofing around on the internet and see a pair from Red Wing Amsterdam's blog and knew I had to push it a little further. If you're daring, maybe you'll want to make them too.
I'm working with black boots, added brown laces and will use brown leather for the fringe. It's a subtle contrast, but won't jump out too much. Start with a small scrap of material, you'll need only a 3x5inch piece to cut both. I even made you a download-able template. These are sized for a 9 boot, so you might need to modify the size for a larger or smaller boot.
You'll need a sharp knife, cutting surface, an awl for tracing and a hole punch. Print the template out, and cut the outer shape. You don't need to cut the details, instead just trace and mark them into the leather with the awl. Once the shapes are traced onto leather, cut the details out with a sharp knife, then mark your holes and other cuts with the awl. Lace holes are punched with a #6 tube. You can punch relief holes in the lace slits if you have a really small punch, but they're not necessary.

Tax Exempt Churches: Religious Freedom vs Tax Exemptions
Religious Tax Exemptions: Overview of Current Laws
Tax laws are more complicated than the average person can readily understand; tossing into the mix various things tax-exempt organizations might or might not be allowed to do threatens to make the task of understanding superhuman in nature. In reality, however, the issue isn't all that complicated and the restrictions on what churches and religious organizations can do aren't hard to adhere to.
What are Religious Tax Exemptions for Churches?
To what extent, and even if, tax exemptions should be given to religious organizations and churches depends on why tax exemptions exist at all. If you think tax exemptions exist because charities provide public benefits, you may be suspicious of giving exemptions to churches. If you think tax exemptions exist because charitable organizations have no net income, then churches will should qualify.
Why Taxation of Religion Matters
Tax exemptions may not be the most common issue facing courts in arguments over the separation of church and state, it is one of the most fundamental. Initially it appears to be a form of government support for religions and religious activities; on the other hand, the power to tax is the power to restrict or destroy, so is exempting religions from taxation a means of ensuring their independence?
Do Churches Deserve Tax Exemptions?
Based upon court rulings on how tax exemptions for charitable groups work, we cannot be conclude that churches and religious organizations automatically deserve exemptions. Even if one believes that their religion and their church provide a necessary public service, it does not follow that all religions and churches necessarily provide a public service which merits support through tax exemptions.
Are Tax Exemptions a Church Subsidy?
One of the key arguments offered by those who oppose tax exemptions for churches and religious organizations is that tax exemptions constitute a type of subsidy for these groups. Subsidies for religious organizations are unconstitutional, however, because they represent a means by which churches are able to obtain public, taxpayer support for their religious goals.
Tax Exemptions vs. Church Political Activity
By not taxing churches, the government is prevented from directly interfering with how churches operate. By the same token, those churches are also prevented from directly interfering with how the government operates in that they cannot endorse any political candidates, they cannot campaign on behalf of any candidates, and they cannot attack any...
Church Tax Exemptions: No Political Campaigning
Not all churches and religious organizations have been content to live within the rules. Quite a few have attempted to evade the rules, either secretly or very openly, in order to allow churches and religious groups to participate actively in political campaigns even while retaining their charitable tax-exempt status.
Religious Tax Exemptions vs. Government Policies
Most people are aware that a church or religious organization can lose their tax exempt status for engaging in partisan political activity, like endorsing a political candidate. What many aren't aware of, though, is that the same can happen for promoting or engaging in things contrary to government policy. Tax exemption is a privilege, not a right.
Backlash Against Religious Tax Exemption Laws
It is a fact of law that charitable organizations, including churches, which have tax-exempt status are not allowed to participate in political campaigns on behalf of political candidates. A focus of current efforts is to make a direct change in how the laws read in order to ensure that churches can become fully active in political campaigns.
Tax Exemptions Available to Churches
America's tax laws are designed to favor non-profit and charitable institutions which presumably benefit the community. Churches benefit the most from tax exemptions because they qualify for many of them automatically, whereas non-religious groups have to go through a more complicated application and approval process. Why?
Commercial Tax Exemptions for Church Businesses
Tax exemptions on church property used for specific worship purposes or religious work may be most easily defended because of the charitable and community work performed. Serious problems come into play, however, when church property is used for commercial purposes. To what extent should the business activities of a religious organization be tax exempt?

Kelly Gregg figures to be the Ravens' starting nose tackle this season, and he remains a very valuable part of the line; active and productive, the 6-foot, 315-pound Gregg has racked up at least 56 tackles in every season in which he has started a full season for Baltimore. But rookie NT Terrence Cody will be a key part of the D-line rotation and could have a bigger impact than any other Ravens first-year player, the way we hear it. Listed four inches taller and 40 pounds heavier than the 33-year-old Gregg, Cody isn't going to rack up huge tackle totals — he had less than 30 in each of his two seasons at Alabama — but he will occupy two gaps and strengthen the Ravens' already stout interior run defense. Speaking to Baltimore reporters at the latest OTAs, head coach John Harbaugh praised Cody for how quickly he is picking up the Ravens' defense.

Back to the Future
This was the pattern we were fishing as we headed farther offshore that morning. As we bore down on the 30-fathom line, we started seeing birds again, and Kosztyu, homing in on a freighter drifting dead in the water, cut the engines. The birds were wheeling, and tuna occasionally busted the surface. The sonar showed what we were looking for: clouds of sand eels and larger red marks that indicated the tuna that were working them.
Gatley and Marsh dropped a pair of butterfly jigs, a natural brown and a hot pink, over the side, let them slide to the bottom and then settled in for the retrieve: regular, brisk jigging motions that set up a rhythm that essentially swam a jig toward the surface with a side-to-side action, like a vertical walk-the-dog. Marsh, on the brown jig, got hit first, and the tuna bent him over the gunwale and took him on a couple of strained laps around the boat before he brought it under control. Almost as soon as Kosztyu had tailed and released that one, Gahm hooked up: The second of roughly a dozen fish we'd take that day before heading back to the dock.
The fish we were catching all hovered around the 47-inch mark. Regulations in '09 allowed keeping one fish over 27 and below 47 inches and one fish over 47 and under 73 inches; thus, the chatter that season had a lot to do with the 47-inch mark and who had taken their "over" and their "under." From June through the summer, more tuna fishermen than not returned to the dock with an over and an under in the fish box. That day, we got our over pretty quickly but never did land our under.
Between the freighter and the birds, we managed to stay on those tuna for several long drifts, but even 60 miles offshore over trackless bottom like what we were fishing, we didn't have the fish all to ourselves for long. More and more anglers are catching on to how to locate these bluefins.
Off the Beaten Track
Finding the fish is a new hunt every day. "Anglers get too fishing-report dependent," says Kosztyu, "but that is all information you are getting after the fact. You have to go outside your usual routes and look for new spots to find these tuna." The school bluefins move constantly with the bait, he explains, and even the lat/longs you get one day may serve as only starting points for the next day's search.
Most anglers take the same route from their home inlets to the canyons and back. That leaves a lot of territory between those travel lanes, territory that may well be where the bluefins are feeding. "Pay attention when you are traveling, and look for birds," says Kosztyu. "Birds are the tip-off. Don't pass anything unusual up without taking a good look at the bottom with your sonar. A small difference in depth can hold bait."
The feeding grounds for the bluefins, the places where the sand eels congregate, may be over nondescript bottom, what Gatley refers to as feeding flats. Fifty miles off the coast, on the featureless plain south of the Mud Hole, any bottom feature can be an important one. "Sometimes the humps may be only two or three feet higher than the surrounding bottom," says Gatley. "Any depression or hill on a feeding flat can be a baitfish holding spot. That's where we were finding big, long clouds of sand eels, 10 to 15 feet thick, covering a third of the fish-finder screen.
Both captains agree that you have to put in the effort to find the fish and be willing to check out new areas. Swap information with other anglers, but don't let it limit your search. The way the bluefins act and the places they prefer after so many years of absence remain to be rediscovered. "I got lucky last year: I found a lot of fish in places that most guys were riding right by," says Kosztyu. As with most endeavors, it seems the harder you work, the luckier you get. After three years of school bluefins making a reliable appearance, both Gatley and Kosztyu are banking on that luck holding for Jersey anglers for another season.

Federal budget highlights continued investment in university research
Principal Daniel Woolf says the federal budget's continued investment in university research recognizes the importance of universities' contributions to economic prosperity.
"Ottawa's budget decisions, at a time when all levels of government are dealing with fiscal challenges, reflect confidence in past investments in research, scholarship and creative activity," says Principal Woolf. "We are making the most with what we have, to continue supporting and enhancing the pursuit of knowledge at Queen's; this in turn helps enrich our educational environment."
Ottawa is investing $37 million dollars annually, with $15 million for the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and $7 million to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) to focus on industry-university partnerships, while $15 million to Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) focuses on patient outcome research.
The Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) received an investment of $500 million over five years, recognizing the needs of university-based researchers for equipment and infrastructure renewal.
Principal Woolf says $5.2 million for new mental health research is a much-needed catalyst to spark further investment in this important area
Vice-Principal (Research) Steven Liss says the budget is very good news for research.
"A significant investment to enhance university-industry partnerships is a strong statement of the government's confidence in universities, and our researchers, and their role in innovation," he says. "And this is something Queen's is striving for, too. We are equally pleased with the commitments in support of world-class research, and in research that will make a difference to the health of Canadians."
In addition to direct funding for research, the budget also provides for increased internship opportunities for students working with small and medium-sized businesses.
