Athletic Trainers Land Internships with NFL and MLB Teams
Wilmington College Has ATs with Bengals, Reds and Royals
May 8, 2012
Attired in their teams' colors are, pictured from the left, Seth Faulkner, Keegan Martin, and Robbie Oates.
Three Wilmington College students are joining the Big Leagues now that school is out for the summer.
WC's acclaimed program in athletic training/sports medicine placed three of its top students in internships with major professional sports teams.
Seniors Seth Faulkner and Keegan Martin are joining the Cincinnati Bengals and Reds, respectively, while newly graduated Robbie Oates will spend the next year with Major League Baseball's Kansas City Royals.
Faulkner's appointment as an intern renews a tradition of WC having at least one intern annually with the Bengals that goes back 35 years to when Paul Sparling, the Bengals' long-time head trainer, was an athletic training student at WC.
"Paul was our first intern with the Bengals and we've had (at least) one every year since," said Larry Howard, professor of athletic training and director of the College's program, noting that Sparling is one of the National Football League's most highly regarded head trainers.
"He's been with the team for 34 years," he added. "We've sent Paul such outstanding student trainers that he's kept taking them."
Howard said WC "got its foot in the door" with the Reds when WC alumnus Nick Kenney had an internship with the ball club in the 1990s. Kenney went on to be assistant trainer with the Reds and Cleveland Indians, and, for the past two seasons, has been the Kansas City Royals' head trainer.
Kenney, a 1994 graduate, was named baseball's top head trainer after last season.
Martin has been working with the Reds a few days a week since early April and will soon work full time with the team since he finished his junior year last week.
"One of the impressive parts of Wilmington's AT program is the relationship it has with the Reds and Bengals," Martin said. "I was hoping I'd have a shot at an internship with one of them."
He is the ninth WC intern with the Reds since Kenney held that position, Howard said.
Oates, who passed his National Certification Examination this spring, is Wilmington's first intern with the Royals and, no doubt, Wilmington's program wishes to start a tradition in Kansas City at least as long as Kenney is with the organization.
While Martin and Faulkner have another year of college and will work with the Cincinnati teams over the next year, Howard said the Royals prefer to have interns that are fresh out of college. Indeed, they often ultimately will hire their most highly regarded interns as full-time assistant trainers with their minor league ball clubs.
"Robbie, Seth and Keegan all possess a good work ethic and represent the College well," Howard said. "They're also great students."
WC's first athletic training student, Russell Miller, Class of 1966, started this tradition of graduates going to professional sports teams. He was head trainer for the Detroit Tigers during his illustrious career in sports medicine.
In addition to Sparling and Kenney, Wilmington College athletic training graduates hold positions with professional baseball teams raging from the Dayton Dragons to the Florence Freedom and Quad City River Bandits.

2014 Fiat 500L Trekking takes the hatchback into the big leagues
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Nov 28th, 2012 at 8:10PM
Didn't think it was possible to pull and pry at the diminutive Fiat 500 with enough gumption to make the Italian hatchback qualify as a large car (according to the EPA, at least)? Witness the Fiat 500L Trekking, seen above. It's a full 26-inches longer than the regular 500, and it's grown six-inches taller and wider. All that stretching means there is 42 percent more interior room in the 500L than the standard car, which means it's a good thing the only engine available is Fiat's 1.4-liter MultiAir turbo four-cylinder engine, as seen in the Abarth, with 160-horsepower and 184 pound-feet of...

2012 is a business
Before you read this article, here is a video I recently recorded about 2012 and how people build businesses around it to make money. While a lot of people say that you can't trust NASA or the government because they would certainly hide this 2012 stuff from us, I say there are a lot of people who want to spread this because they make money out of it. So, in the end, who do we trust? Watch it, I think that explains it all, but still, read the article and all the comments for more information.
What is 2012 about?
The year 2012 is referring to the last year of the Long Count Maya calendar. The current Great Cycle, as the Mayas call it, is set to end on the winter solstice of 2012: December 21 2012 and many people believe that on that date, the world will change and never be the same. Some predict terrible events resulting in the destruction of our world and some predict that it won't necessarily end, but that we will enter a new era and massive changes will occur.
This article will try to answer most questions you may have in a rational way. because there are way too many websites creating some sort of fear propaganda around 2012 and as you will see, you have nothing to be scared of.
There's too much disinformation going on about this subject and there's an article you can read that was published around 1990 that reminds me the current situation:
What will happen on December 21 2012?
Quick answer: Nobody knows, but probably not much.
There have been a lot going on regarding the 2012 prophecy recently, including the movie "I am legend", but surprisingly, not much information about what is really supposed to happen on that date is available. This is Probably because nobody knows and also because probably not much will happen. Most information available about 2012 is making reference to mass destruction of the world as we know it, earth's pole shift/magnetic field reversal, Nostradamus predictions, end of Mayas calendar, etc.
The base of all the predictions is the end of the Maya calendar in 2012, which is supposed to mean the end of the world or a period of radical changes. In fact, the end of the Maya calendar is known as the end of the Great Cycle. People find it easy to believe in that theory because Maya civilization is known for advanced writing, mathematics and astronomy. It can seem like they really know what they're talking about, but the truth is that the end of the Great Cycle is not the end of the world, it's in fact a great celebration for the Mayas:
For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle" says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal River, Fla. To render Dec. 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."
From USA Today
On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years(Milky Way is one of billions of galaxies in the observable universe. The Galaxy has special significance to humanity as it is the home galaxy of the planet Earth). This special alignment means that the usual energy that typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 2012 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time. Scientists are actually in great doubt about the fact that the Mayas even knew what they were talking about.
Astronomers generally agree that "it would be impossible the Maya themselves would have known that" says Susan Milbrath, a Maya archaeoastronomer and a curator at the Florida Museum of Natural History. What's more, she says, "we have no record or knowledge that they would think the world would come to an end at that point."
From USA Today
Putting apart scientific data, here are the commons beliefs of the December 21 2012:
- Galactic Alignment. This Galactic Alignment occurs only once every 26,000, this is considered as the end-date in the Mayans Long Count calender. It is the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator.
- A comet hitting Earth (Nostradamus)
- Read my article on Nostradamus to discover the real truth about Nostradamus: Nostradamus is not a valid argument!
- Earth's Pole Shift/Magnetic field reversal
- Read my article on pole shift to discover the real truth about 2012 and pole shift: What is that pole shift thing and What is that pole shift thing part II
- Increase of calamities, natural disasters, mass destruction, etc.
I don't want to repeat myself, but all of this is very vague as nobody really knows what will happen and the world is not at its first doomsday prophecy. There have been a lot of "Unfulfilled" prophecies in the past and you can have a look at this Wikipedia document for a list of unfulfilled religious prophecies.
What I find quite interesting about the 2012 theory is that there's not much publications from well respected scientific organizations. NASA has published a couple of articles about the pole shift, but nothing else that could reveal a certain fear of the end of the world. Now you could argue that "big organizations" certainly wouldn't reveal anything that has to do with the end of the world, but that's another debate.
2012 conspiracy theory
I mentioned in the "What will happen" section that there's a lack of scientific information coming from well respected sources like NASA. Some people claim there's a conspiracy theory behind the prophecy to hide it from the public so it doesn't create mass panic. Now, this does and doesn't make sense. At first, it sounds like it could be true because I totally agree the government could restrain publications from the NASA as it's a governmental agency, but I find it weird that this kind of information wouldn't "leak".
Do you really think something as big as the end of the world wouldn't leak from any agency? Keep the NASA apart, do you really think the scientific community would miss something as big as that? When there's no scientific data about a subject, you really have to doubt.
You've probably read a lot of information on websites from people claiming they know more than they should know and that the government is hiding all this information from you. Government is hiding a lot of things from you, more than you probably imagine and they would probably try to hide the end of the world if it was going to happen. But, let's picture this: The Mayas were there 1000 years before Christ which makes it about 3000 years from now. Do you think someone could hide the end of the world for 3000 years if it was really going to happen and was really that possible and scientific?
I have my doubts.
Pole shift/reversal, the only 2012 end of the world possibility
The only rational "2012 End of world" possibility is actually pole shifting. A Pole shift is a rare phenomenon and is characterized by the north and the south poles swapping places. Such reversals, recorded in the magnetism of ancient rocks, are unpredictable. They come at irregular intervals averaging about 300,000 years; the last one was 780,000 years ago. I wrote an article on pole shift that explains the whole process, have a look: What is that pole shift thing?
Such event could really disrupt our planet that's true. Imagine the North pole and South pole swapping places: Telecommunications, animals, humans, etc. would all be affected and it would be a really important change. There's only one thing you need to consider… I've read in a lot of different places that a polar shift is going to happen on December 21 2012 and it is totally false:
Polar shift is a process that roughly takes 5,000 years to complete and doesn't start on a specific date and time. The real truth is that nobody knows when the next one is due.
The process takes time and another myth wants the earth's magnetic field strength to be near zero during that transition time. It would actually be as strong as it is now but simply a lot more complicated. Once again, it is explained in my What is that pole shift thing? article.
Will I die on December 21 2012?
I can't tell, the Mayas can't, Nostradamus can't and the aliens can't. On December 21 2012, a comet won't hit the earth, a pole shift won't happen instantly and a massive gravity burst won't happen either. The only thing you can fear is a pole shift and it can take up to 5,000 years to complete…
What if you're wrong?
In the case that I am wrong, that every scientist on this planet is wrong and that the NASA can't figure out a simple galactic alignment that would put our world to an end then I guess we are all in the same situation. You, me and everyone will die. Scary isn't it? Well, no one can tell what will happen tomorrow or in 2012.
Hope you enjoyed

- love fluval Review by arnie

I've been using fluval 104 on a 26 gallon aquarium for 7 years - very reliable and never had a leak. Just upgraded to larger fluval 206 - really looking forward to additional filtering and new features. Valuepetsupplies had excellent price and quick delivery. (Posted on 4/20/13)

Your Rating
I received my order in a timely manner. The order was complete, and in perfect shape. The only negative I have to report was locating the supplies on your web page. I have a Fluval 306. Every item I searched for was for the xx4 and xx5 series according to the text with the item. By accident I discovered a spreadsheet at the bottom of the page, which outlined which component I needed for my filter. You need to update your webpage so that everything is in one spot. That will make you "5 star".

This book is extremely direct about a lot of taboo subjects, talking on many topics candidly and very entertainingly. I found that as I read through the book my view on the world around my changed and I feel that it genuinely opened my eyes and made me think differently. So many times I was laughing out loud and muttering "so true" to myself. I'd recommend that everyone should read this book - not everyone will like it but everyone should try it.

Have you seen Prabal Gurung's new collection for ICB yet? It's filled with great lace pieces, fur trimmed jackets and printed dresses. The line which is now available at Barneys is garnering attention from everyone including editors to bloggers, for its somewhat affordable price point and photographic lines.
For me I love the pieces because they're easy enough to be layered and coupled with great accessories that you already own and timeless enough to wear for the next few years. To say the line is "lustworthy" is a bit of an understatement. I'm drooling! Check out my favorite pieces above!

With Office in the cloud, you always have the latest versions of your familiar Office applications right where you need them. Working on
your iPhone or Android phone? Use Office Mobile to view and edit files. Using your tablet? Access Office through a browser to create and
edit documents. And when you're away from your own desk, you can stream Office to any Internet-connected PC.1 You get one familiar
experience across all your devices, and your files are always up to date.
Deploy the way that's best for you—on-premises with your own tools, or with assistance from the Office 365 online service. And you can
run Office 365 ProPlus side by side with earlier Office versions, so your workers can make a smooth transition. Upgrades are smooth, too,
because your customizations are respected and add-ins and data files are loaded automatically. Plus, you can monitor the health and
performance of your Office in real time across your organization.
Protecting the privacy and security of your data is essential. With Office 365, you can simplify compliance. Team members can access
project-related email and documents right from their email. You can help your users avoid sending email with sensitive information to
unauthorized recipients by using policy tips in email. Recording and archiving meetings, including IM conversations, is easy for IT. Plus
you can scan Excel spreadsheets for errors, and view an audit trail of changes.
See how easy it is to stay compliant with Office 365.
No matter how good your data, you need insight to make it work for you. Gain insight fast by giving everyone powerful BI tools that are
easy to use. With Office 365 ProPlus you can streamline integration and manipulation of large volumes of data from various sources and
perform rapid analysis. For more insight, explore different views of data in a pivot table or pivot chart with a click, and bring data to
life by compiling data, charts, and graphs into one interactive visualization.
Watch how easy it is to analyze and visualize data in Excel with Power Pivot and Power View.
Office 365 ProPlus is one of the subscription service plans in the new Office. It is productivity software (including Word, PowerPoint,
Excel, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, Access, and Lync) that is installed on your desktop or laptop computer. Office 365 ProPlus is a
user-based service that allows people to access Office experiences on up to 5 PCs or Macs and on their mobile devices. Traditional
Office installations were tied to the computers they were installed on. Office 365 ProPlus enables flexible new deployment options
that IT and/or individual users can choose from to install Office.
Both Office Professional Plus 2013 and Office 365 ProPlus deliver the same application experiences. However, Office Professional Plus
2013 is a traditional Office installation that is tied to the computers it is installed on, and it is available through volume
licensing only. A user-based service, Office 365 ProPlus is available as a subscription.
Office 365 ProPlus offers several advantages compared to Office Professional Plus 2013.
Office 365 ProPlus includes all the great Office application experiences you expect, with added flexibility for modern users and IT needs.
Office 365 ProPlus is designed to run locally on PCs, so a persistent connection to the Internet is not required. IT administrators
can also deploy Office and Office software updates using software distribution tools and infrastructure in more traditional private
cloud environments. Because Office 365 ProPlus is pivoted on an active user account, the Office desktop applications perform a daily
check for user account status using the Internet. This gives your organization the ability to de-provision Office from user-owned
devices if they leave your organization. Office 365 ProPlus can be easily configured to use your email, collaboration, and directory
services infrastructure, if you prefer to manage those services on-premises.
Yes, you can configure Office 365 ProPlus to apply only the software updates you have tested and validated. You can manage software
updates completely in-house, either by using familiar software distribution tools or by directing Office 365 ProPlus to check for
updates at your file shares or URLs.
You can cancel your subscription at any time. For annual commitment subscriptions, such as Office 365 ProPlus, there is a penalty for canceling before the end of your contract.
Read the complete Microsoft Online Subscription Agreement.
Your data is yours. If you decide to cancel your Office 365 subscription, you can download your data—for example, your email and
documents on team sites—and save it to another location. You should save your data before you cancel. After you cancel your
subscription, data associated with your Office 365 account will be available to your administrator(s) in a limited function account
for 90 days.

Subaru's first hybrid drawing close
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Jan 27th, 2013 at 9:02AM
In 2011 Subaru parent company Fuji Heavy Industries confirmed that a hybrid Subaru would debut this year. Ever since, there's been speculation about what kind of technology the gasoline-electric hybrid would use – Subaru's own or some version of the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive, which car would debut the new system – Forester, Legacy, or Outback – and whether it would come to America or be a Japan-only model. A report in The Detroit Bureau says that whatever that first model is, it could be shown as soon as the New York Auto Show, and while the company feels it's a... Read More

Lyrics are great – nearly all originals by Bo himself, with that hip swinging, and hard-wailing approach that was always a lot of fun – and cuts include "Gunslinger", "Diddling", "Cheyenne", "Cadillac", and "Doing The Craw-Daddy". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

WTOP's Kathy Stewart
Update: Ozzy is now on the mend
WASHINGTON - Ozzy is a survivor.
Donations have poured in to help the tough West Highland Terrier, who was stolen from his Manassas, Va., home last month.
Ozzy needs a $6,000 surgery on his leg, which was injured during his abduction and escape. About half of the needed funds have been raised through the Prince William County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
A veterinary surgical clinic in Manassas has agreed to operate on the dog for about half the cost, according to the Manassas Patch.
Ozzy and a female West Highland Terrier were taken from their home in mid April. The female was later found dead in a trash bag with her mouth and legs duct-taped. A motorist found Ozzy with his legs bound by duct tape, and took the dog to a veterinarian, who called the dog's owner.
The Prince William SPCA said that Ozzy's mouth was also taped shut.
Khanh Hoang Hong, of the 7500 block of Quail Run Lane, was arrested and charged with the two dogs' abduction. He faces charges of burglary, animal cruelty and grand larceny.
Ozzy has since returned home to his owner and awaits his surgery.
The Prince William SPCA is still accepting donations through paypal.

Cops get lots of tips on Hadiya case, even from known gang members
BY MAUDLYNE IHEJIRIKA Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com February 4, 2013 7:30PM

Updated: March 6, 2013 6:27AM
As King College Prep students held a rally Monday over the murder of their classmate, Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said police are receiving many leads in the case, but none has helped to identify Hadiya Pendleton's killer.
McCarthy gave the update at a South Side news conference, where he again called for stricter gun laws — particularly the mandated reporting of guns that are lost, stolen or transferred — as he displayed some of the 680 firearms seized by Chicago Police since Jan. 1.
"The community is standing up in this case very, very strongly. We're getting a ton of information, and some of it looks pretty good," he said.
The $40,000 reward offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Hadiya's killer has spurred a tsunami of leads, many even coming in from known gang members, McCarthy said.
"We're getting a ton of calls as a result of the reward. We have to take every single tip and explore its veracity. We're making progress. But nothing at this point has panned out for us," he said. "But this is going to happen. There's no two ways about it but that we're going to break this case."

A Fractured Player Base
There was interesting post earlier in the week over at theRPGsite (thanks Gamedaddy) on the Saturday D&D lineup at this year's Origins Game Convention. It breaks down roughly as follows:
BD&D/Oldschool Includes basic D&D & Clones
Four (4)
1st Edition
One (1) specifically listed (maybe one or two of these above?)
2nd Edition
Two (2)
3rd Edition / 3.5 / OGL
Thirty-Nine (39)
Eighteen (18)
Living Arcanis (Technically 3.5 variant/d20...)
Two (2)
4th Edition
Thirty-Seven (37)
Unknown (Host deliberately omitted D&D version and couldn't ID version based on game host/sponsor)
Six (6)
Now, as you can see Wizards of the Coast is again not on the Origins vendor map, and that might bend things a little than what they otherwise would be. Still, as a snapshot, it's interesting that things remain not only so fragmented amongst the player base, but so darn close to even. With Gen Con being the premiere RPGA event of the year, I imagine 4e will see a healthy swing the other way there. But I wonder what the split is at smaller conventions?

I think what you're seeing here is always going to be typical when emphasis on mechanics begin to supersede the importance of producing good source material. It's evidence that you'll never please everyone, and ANY time you make sweeping changes, you're going to leave some fans behind, alienate others, or just cause a flare in tempers in general.
I'm not saying that you should never look to improve the mechanics; I'm an engineer after all, and love a concise and workable recreation of life through statistics. However, it doesn't seem prudent to throw out the old game and replace it with a new one every few years.

I'm not so sure you can extend what's happening at Origins to the player base as a whole. After all who's running what game there is to a significant degree self-selected.
For example, I counted (rather quickly so I may be off one or two) 32 Hero System games there, making it nearlly the equal of 3.5 or 4E.
And I doubt that's actually true in terms of player base.

@Gleichman: There's no doubt the particulars of this convention skew the numbers a bit. I guess I'm just a little surprised it's so close, and that this in particular seems to be near to the split we see at places online. But like I said, I imagine it'll be a different set come Gen Con.
- June 23, 2009 at 1:00 PM
Maybe it would be interesting for you that D&D 4E is literally dead in Germany because of the high expectations about the sales of WotC in Europe/Germany - which could never be fulfilled - the company making the translation and printing of the German 4E had the license taken away from them.
Because of this in the conventions here in Germany - which have from 50 to 100 visitors - the people play the 3.0/3.5 editions.
But also as the 4E German Edition got eliminated directly by WotC Europe
Labyrinth Lord got a fresh German translation by fans.
So I expect in the coming months that more and more people will play LL in the conventions.

Having been a former Origins regular, while I lived in Ohio, I can tell you a couple of things about Origins that might make those numbers make more sense.
1. Origins is an older crowd. A lot of people who have been gaming a long time.
2. Origins is a *game* convention. No media guests and usually not a lot of splashy debuts either. People go to Origins to play games, either ones that they don't normally get to play or with people they don't normally get to play with. There's a lot of gaming going on, and not just RPGs - board games and minatures as well. Nearly all hours.
I think these factors combine into something that's different from what you are going to see at GenCon, which is definitely much more of a gaming event than Origins ever was or will be.
There are less frills and more emphasis on play.
- June 23, 2009 at 3:51 PM
- Olman Feelyus said...
WotC never spends a lot of money on gaming opportunities that they don't control. Other than GenCon, they have a policy to not sponsor any local cons. They put all their play budget into GameDays and the RPGA. So the effect you see is a lot less 4e at conventions.

I wonder if it hasn't already, in some dark FLGS somewhere...
- June 24, 2009 at 8:05 AM
At a local convention this year, in Western NY, the sponsors typically have a D&D tournie that goes for 3 days to determine the overall winner. I figured that this year it would be the 4e rules, but instead they decided to go with Savage World. But overall. the split between 4e and 3.5 was about even for games offered.
I typically go to the con to play games I don't get a chance to, so I ususally don't play D&D anyway. (I'll get in the Munchkin tournie, the WoD LARP, or I'll run an old school - Moldvay or Rules Cyclopedia - game just for the heck of it.
Some day I'll have to go to Origins or Gencon to see for myself. (If I can con the wife into hanging with game geeks for a few days...)

Dave Dildine, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - There will be a few work zones worth avoiding on parts of the Metrorail system this weekend.
Riders on the Orange Line will face a detour as crews work to join the Silver Line tracks to the Metrorail system in Falls Church.
Road construction should not cause any major disruptions to travel. The various projects scheduled along parts of Interstate 95, the Capital Beltway, Interstate 270 and New York Avenue in Northeast D.C. will occur during the overnight and morning hours. In Southeast D.C., demolition work is scheduled on Sunday near the 11th Street Bridge. A short stretch of M Street is expected to be blocked near the Navy Yard.
Wet weather may hinder work crews Saturday. Drivers should prepare for slippery conditions and road spray, especially south and east of Washington.
On Metro, detours and delays
Metro riders who use the Orange Line this weekend in Virginia should expect delays.
The Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project continues construction of the Silver Line. There will be no rail service between Ballston and Vienna.
There will also be two work zones on the Red Line this weekend. Metro cancelled its previously scheduled testing of railcars along the Green Line this weekend. The Blue and Yellow lines are expected to run at normal intervals.
Orange Line
- Free shuttle buses replace trains on the Orange Line between Vienna and Ballston.
- Vienna, Dunn Loring, West Falls Church and East Falls Church stations will be closed.
- Work begins on Friday at 10 p.m. and lasts through system closing Sunday.
- Express buses will connect riders directly between Vienna and Ballston. Delays up to 25 minutes are possible.
- Local buses will ferry customers to each of the four closed stations. Delays up to 50 minutes are possible.
Red Line
- Single tracking between Friendship Heights and Van Ness.
- Single tracking between Takoma and Rhode Island Avenue.
- Riders traveling through either work zone should expect delays of up to 20 minutes.
- Red Line trains will operate at maximum of 24 minute intervals, with increased service during the daytime hours downtown.
Road work ahead, weather permitting
Crews plan to work on a guardrail along I-270 between Clopper Road and Route 118 in Germantown if the weather cooperates. Crews may block up to two lanes either way at times throughout the day. Delays are not expected to result from this work.
Bridge inspection on I-270 under Route 28 in Rockville is scheduled on Sunday from 5 a.m. until noon. Up to two northbound lanes may be closed during this time.
Saturday night repair work on the Beltway is scheduled to block the express lanes ramps to and from Gallows Road. The repair work will last until 8 a.m. Sunday.
Monthly maintenance testing of the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge is scheduled for this Sunday morning, Feb. 24, from 5 a.m. through 8 a.m. The bridge will be fully open much of that time and traffic will not be able to get by.
M Street and bridge demolition
On Sunday, a portion of M Street Southeast will be blocked for demolition of the old inbound span of the 11th Street Bridge. The work is scheduled to take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Most of the old bridge has already been dismantled but the defunct abutments remain exposed on the western edge of the Anacostia River, south of M Street.
The demolition will require crews to block the off-ramp from the current inbound 11th Street Bridge to M Street. Travelers headed to Navy Yard should exit onto 8th Street SE instead. The main bridge will remain open but the inbound side of the smaller Local 11th Street Bridge between Anacostia and Navy Yard will be closed.

Previously released as World Trade Center: A Modern Marvel.
One of the most massive publicly funded construction projects ever undertaken, the World Trade Center was an engineering marvel. For a time, its famous twin towers were the tallest buildings on earth, and the total complex, with seven buildings, an underground shopping concourse and a plaza modeled after Venice's St. Marks Square, included over 10 million square feet of office space.
This comprehensive look at the toppled landmark includes extensive interviews with many of the people who were involved in the planning, design and construction of the WORLD TRADE CENTER. Executives at Minoru Yamasaki Associates recall how the plans were shaped, and explain how the engineering decisions they made directly affected the final appearance of the complex, and Carol Willis, the Founder and Director of the Skyscraper Museum, reflects on the many innovations that made the World Trade Center among the most influential and important building complexes ever made.

Do you think an 8 year old could handle this or should we wait a couple more years?
The lightest the Bratt Bat Wood Training Bat: BRATTBAT Youth is available in is 35 oz. This may be too have for an 8 year old. It may be best to wait a few more years.
Trying to decide amongst the three different weights in the 29" length. My son is 11 and swings a 30 inch, 20 oz. How heavy should he go on the Bratt?
You won't want to go too heavy to where he is completely dragging the bat during his practice swings with this Bratt bat, so the 29" 40 oz. should be a good option. It will be heavy enough to serve its purpose and not too heavy that it will create bad habits.
How do I choose between a 35, 40 and 45 oz options? My son is 10 and weighs 70 lbs. He usually swings a 29 in. 18 oz. bat.
Normally, a player should use the same length bat that currently uses. So the 29 inch 35 oz would be the best option.
Product Description
Nokona proudly introduces their new partnership with Bratt Bat. The revolutionary design of the Bratt Bat evenly distributes swing weight throughout the bat as opposed to just the end of the bat; which you get with a weighted doughnut. This bat will loosen your hitting muscles all the while strengthening them. Your hands, wrist, and arms benefit the most from work with the Bratt Bat. Studies have been done to prove that this training device can add up to more than ten MPH to your swing. The Lexan plastic tube and hard wood handle used in the manufacturing process makes the Bratt Bat virtually indestructible and one of the safest on-deck training tools. These bats range in size from 29 to 35 inches. When choosing a bat, you should choose a bat similar in length to the bat you swing at the plate. This will help develop a more powerful, quick swing. Hitters of all ages and levels of play are marveling at the difference the Bratt Bat can make to your offensive game. Free shipping!

Felipe Massa has warned against writing off Red Bull, adamant that once they sort out the reliability, the RB10 will be on the pace.
Red Bull have reigned supreme in recent years, winning four successive Drivers' and Constructors' Championships.
However, if pre-season testing is anything to go by the team's dominance is under threat.
The team's longest single run out on track has been a meager 20-lap stint as reliability issues with both the RB10 and its Renault engine have dogged the team.
Daniel Ricciardo, though, did manage 66 laps in total in Bahrain on Friday with a best time of 1:35.743, which put him third on the day's timesheets, 0.173s off the pace.
As such Massa has warned against discounting the Bulls.
He told Autosport: "We saw that the Red Bull struggled every day, but the lap times they did [on Friday] were not so bad.
"You can't put Red Bull and Lotus on the side [as contenders] because when they fix the problems, we know that they have a good car and we know that they know how to make a winning car.
"It is always nice to say that a Red Bull is struggling and that maybe it can be fighting with the Caterhams, but forget it. It's not like that.
"They have a problem to solve, but when it is solved they will be there."
As for his own team and their FW36, the Williams drier completed 103 laps on Friday with a best time of 1:36.507.
"There is still a lot to do and a lot to understand and I hope we can finish the day with more information about everything.
"[Friday] was actually my first day because I just did one afternoon last week and we know how important it is to drive, to understand.
"I'm happy with the way we are working, but still we need to understand the right direction, the right set-up, the right car to start in Australia.
"I hope we can have more working on the set-up to understand and be a little bit more prepared for Australia."
"We know that they have a good car and we know that they know how to make a winning car..."Felipe Massa

I stayed tuned and was disappointed... Lore did the guide.
Shouldn't SOME credit be given to him.
XT-002 has a very strict enrage timer of 6 minutes. Though the fight seems simple, this is why Pummelers are being off-tanked rather than killed.
We've chosen to release the XT-002 Deconstructor movie first because it is an essential boss that was locked out from the majority of raiders last night. In other words, this should be the most useful to the largest number of guilds possible in these early days.
We're going to aim for 1-2 movies a day for as long as content permits, so keep your eyes out every morning for new videos. This will be a much more mixed lot of movies than Naxxramas, with both 10-man and 25-man movies coming wherever we feel one fits the bill better (for instance, both Lore and I did Flame Leviathan kills with towers active on 10-man, so these videos will be more generally useful than our last 25-man).
I hope everyone has enjoyed what they've seen so far in Ulduar!

ha ha how true!!!
Cheers, thanks Cider!
Looks like a very easy boss.
Can we expect this in HD for premium download in the same past or will that take some extra time. The quality on youtube isnt the best.
and, thanks....
Keep up the good work
Has anyone done the hard mode on this yet? Does he still go into the add phase if you pop his heart at 75%? Can you break his heart at 25% and get the achieve?
Also, can scrapbots be slowed or novad?
Sigh, we totally could have gotten that far last night if the stupid servers werent done all night. GG blizz for releasing new content and not making sure it works.
I cast the spells that make the people fall over.
I saw Lore getting 2 achievements. Just curious what those where.
Nerf Engineering and Nerf Gravity Bombs are the once I'm guessing from the blurry video.
looks like a firly straightforward fight, not very hard... except for healers... looks like they are gonna have a handful...
Lore should tell us how he dealt with the first two packs in front of the XT-002. ><

something that may be helpful now is to make floders for each raid and putt all the movies in there...

- Archeology gets a fresh new face in this exciting series.
- Travel to the stunning, enigmatic Incan city and discover its secrets.
- Hosted by adventurer Josh Bernstein, President and CEO of the world's oldest and largest wilderness survival school.
Adventure has a new name!

With a fresh and engaging approach to archaeology, Josh goes to extremes and takes us along for the ride.
It is undeniably one of the great wonders of the world, and one its great mysteries.

But many mysteries remain and ever-intrepid Josh Bernstein follows Bingham's footsteps to the LOST CITY OF THE INCA to explore its enigma. He builds a log bridge across a raging river, examines the stonework at the site, and reviews ancient manuscripts to discover the "true" purpose of Machu Picchu.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
This is probably the most civil 307 thread I have ever read.
I opted to use an old, unrebuilt, early 70s 307 in my 66 elky.
All I did was put a q-jet and intake manifold on it.
The car has a 5-speed (TKO 2.87 first) and is plenty peppy even with the 3.08 rear gears.
And gets better than 25mpg on the hiway to boot.
Im not going to tell you to not port your own heads,,,
I wont do any porting for a few reasons
I want to know the flow numbers so I need a flow bench:\without a flow bench how do I know that I have similar flow in all my ports?:
If it takes 25 hours to port a set of heads? I know that I can make more money doing something else than I can save.
I work with engines that make more than 350 horse power and the castings cost quite a lot more than I want to risk ruining:::
I'm not saying that hand porting cannot be done successfully. I was fortunate enough to have made some templates out of brass from a GOOD set of fuelie heads. Using them I can do a pretty good rendition of those heads and they show an improvement at the track.
By eye I can get a little improvement as well- being as how I've done this so many times. But a first timer? Good luck until you've made some goofs- and the goofs will cost you a casting every time unless you have a bench to show you what's happening. And /o a bench you have to port a PAIR of heads, bolt them on and take it to the track, then remove them, port some more, or port another set of heads, repeat until you're happy w/the results or you decide you'd rather spend your time earning some coinage to buy a decent set of aftermarket heads or at least for some time on a flow bench.
|The bottom line is that F-BIRD'88 will continue to advise grinding on your heads and I will continue to nay-nay it.
had been done.
The resulting engine compression ratio was less than 8.5:1
8.5:1 is way too low... you want 10:1 with that cam on a 307.
This engine should have had a supercharger on it.
if the heads had been milled to 51cc (.041" gasket) or 56cc with a .015" gasket to get the compression up it would have made a lot more power and torque. 10:1 minimum compression ratio.
A finished 10.5:1 compression ratio would not be too much for this motor. (92 octane gas)
Bad intake and carb choice. The lowly performer manifold and 600cfm carb are bad choices when you want power. even on a 307.
A Performer RPM high rise dual plane and 750cfm carb will make more power and torque. Always.
This engine could have made well over 350hp if attention to details and parts choices had been better.
Some pictures of ported 305 heads
One of the keys to learning to port your own heads is to not take advice from people who admitedly cannot port heads or are afraid to. Its like taking advice on baseball from some one who cannot swing the bat. You got to swing the bat to get a hit.
You learn by doing. These are an excellent head to learn on. And if you do the whole port they will flow a good bit more than when you started.. You really cannot mess it up.
There are many good books on general porting and SBC heads specificely.
Just don't grind the (*&^ out of the floor of the port. This area just needs a clean up.
The port needs to be made taller and a bit wider. That valve guide boss needs to be thinned and streamlined so the
air can go around it. The push rod pinch needs to be opened up a bit too. The port opening at the flange does not need to be huge. felpro 1205 gasket size is just right.
These heads respond very well to generous complete hand porting and the larger 1.94 valve.
They will flow a lot more air when you are done than when you started.
This is not rocket science. And you don;t need a flow bench.
I have flow tested these heads after porting. The flow bench testing did not get the gain in flow...THE HAND PORTING DID.
Good point. Doing the obvious things like the lip below the seats and removing any casting flash/irregularities should be the extent of it unless you have experience and/or a lot of time and a flow bench- along w/enough heads to find out what is helping and what is hurting. After all, if you remove too much or from the wrong place, the head is now scrap; you cannot add the metal back and welding is in no way cost effective on these commonly available heads.
FWIW, there have been good builds using the L30 305 Vortec heads on the small bore SBC engines. One member here has them on a 283 and likes them just fine. Takes a Vortec intake, self aligning rockers, centerbolt valve covers, and a spring and retainer change.
Some info and photos of the L30 5.0L Vortec head can be seen at NastyZ28.com Vortec Cylinder Heads: The Definitive Guide, post 478.
self porting,I only ported the exhaust side of the heads and only about an inch into the port.
Now a days with flow benches,I wont touch anything at all. Porting does make a difference,but exactly what tech just posted,,
If you haven't done a couple dozen sets of heads before, then I would advise you not to go grinding on the heads. You might accidentally cut in the right places and add a little flow, but you might just as easily cut in the wrong places and turn them into junk.
I'm gonna tell a story on myself. When my youngest son was in high school, we built a '72 Chevy Luv pickup with a California Stepside conversion. We shoehorned a bone-stock 455 Olds into it, with a TH400 and 10 1/4" Olds rear diff. Took it to the dragstrip and turned 101 mph. Pulled the heads off the motor, spent the next 26 hours sittin' at the bench with a Dumore and carbide burrs, then sanding rolls. Bolted the heads back on the motor, went to the dragstrip and turned 103 mph. Picked up a crummy 2 miles per hour in return for 26 hours of labor. Now, someone who knew what they were doing may have been able to pick up some real power with those heads, but I was not that somebody and it is doubtful that you are that somebody either.
If you haven't done a couple dozen sets of heads before, then I would advise you not to go grinding on the heads. You might accidentally cut in the right places and add a little flow, but you might just as easily cut in the wrong places and turn them into junk.
I'm gonna tell a story on myself. When my youngest son was in high school, we built a '72 Chevy Luv pickup with a California Stepside conversion. We shoehorned a bone-stock 455 Olds into it, with a TH400 and narrowed 10 1/4" Olds rear diff ('57-'64 Olds/Pontiac). Took it to the dragstrip and turned 101 mph on slicks. Pulled the heads off the motor, spent the next 26 hours sittin' at the bench with a Dumore and carbide burrs, then sanding discs. Bolted the heads back on the motor, went to the dragstrip and turned 103 mph. Picked up a crummy 2 miles per hour in return for 26 hours of labor. Now, someone who knew what they were doing may have been able to pick up some real power with those heads, but I was not that somebody and it is doubtful that you are that somebody either.
Found an article on a 307 build. Not superhero power, but I'll bet you could actually afford to drive the thing how fuel prices are (grrrr!).
307 Chevy Dyno Test - Super Chevy Magazine
Cam choice: What kind of engine and performance are you looking to end up with.
What is the gear ratio, car weight, tire size, and transmission converter stall speed.
And are you willing to change the gears and converter to match the camshaft/engine power curve?
rough racey street brat idle or ......?
Bowl hogging is just one step in the process. These heads need more than just a "stage 1" "pocket port"
"bowl port" job. The meat and potatoes flow gains are deep in the port. And it gets time/labour intenstive.
(when you are paying for the time...)
If you want a powerfull 307 you want to fully port the 416 heads as well as get the larger 1.94" intake valve so the heads flow more air than stock.
Cam choice depends on the desired rpm range, and power/torque curve desired.
Choice must be tempered to driving style, idle quality, gear ratio,vehicle weight,
purpose, trans torque converter stall speed. A cam cannot be a big race cam and a small mild cam at the same time.
Eg if you don;t want a race motor, don't use a huge racey cam.
283's 302's 305's and 307's are easy to over cam.
deck height: bring the piston to TDC and measure how far below the deck the top of the piston is, Uisng feeler gauges, a depth mic, etc. You are looking for .025" or less. Ya it matters. (to calc the compression ratio)
If you take care of the details this 307 will turn out very well.
Google search for camshaft selection and technical camshaft terms like lobe lift, duration @.050" lobe separation, valve lift, rocker arm ratio etc etc etc. many of the camshaft manufactureres have a tech section on their sites.
Crane, Isky <Comp, Lunati, Howards,, etc etc
More SBC high performance build knowledge including head porting Search for books by David Vizard on Amazon,,, local library etc.
google search for ported 305 head,, ported 416 head etc
there are dozens of cam grinders/sellers with thousands of choices and 4 kinds of lifters or 2 styles.
decide what you want first and what engine you will use,,,then a combination can be applied.
be specific,how is the engine going to be used,where is it,what you expect from it
