Going by the book while driving and repairing fine vintage automobiles usually means running into the point where the manual says use Special Service Tool X-5745 to remove a bearing, or SST set 09612-10091 and a block of wood to overhaul the steering gear. Many of these tools have long since been tossed into the dumpster of discontinued parts. Lack of availability can result in fabrication of customized sockets or creatively bent wrenches. This would especially be true if you drive a 1959 Fiat 600, but not in this case. Dan Lennon is not only the proud owner of a Concours' d'Lemons winning Fiat 600, but also the special service tool devised in Italy solely to tighten the otherwise impossible to reach cylinder head bolt behind thermostat housing. Dan carries this tool and torque wrench with the Fiat. Not all of us are lucky enough to locate these most purposeful of tools. Somewhere in the Clunkbucket Arsenal of Tools is a box end wrench bent into a 90-degree angle with open end hacked off in case of small block Mopar distributor adjustment.

Replace Window Regulator
Modern and more luxurious cars than the 1982 Toyota Starlet have equally modern conveniences such as self-parking guidance systems and electrical windows. The Starlet has a small high-impact plastic crank that is turned to open and close the window. The plastic crank is attached to a simple and durable device known as the window regulator. The window is in turn attached to one arm of the scissor-like regulator. Turn the crank clockwise and window goes down. Counter clockwise and window goes back up. Presto. The window regulator is one of those things like a refrigerator, that you never think too much about until it quits. Removing and replacing a broken window regulator is one of the most reviled tasks in all of old or classic car ownership and maintenance. In older econoboxes like the Starlet, just finding the working replacement part can be an adventure in itself.

Tool of the Week: Nut and Bolt Gauge
In a time before nuts and bolts were packaged into useless plastic bags in never correct quantities, gathering fasteners was as easy as heading down to your auto parts or hardware store and just asking for a dozen M8 45 millimeter exhaust studs with a 1.25 thread pitch and matching copper pinch nuts. While there are some auto parts joints and fastener suppliers that still operate this way, many more have gone down the dark path of plastic bags and blister packs. As knowing is half the battle when it comes to finding the right fastener, the nut and bolt measuring gauge or screw checker is an indispensable item to have in the garage or pocket. The nut and bolt gauge also comes in handy when aluminum treads unscrew right along with the with the stud or bolt. After swearing up a storm and peeling away the aluminum, knowing exactly which Heli-Coil® or screw thread insert to get is foolproof thanks to the nut and bolt gauge. The good news is that some of the places that will still give you a brown paper lunch bag full of nuts and bolts will usually supply a gratis nut and bolt gauge with purchase. Measure it twice. Fasten it once. Or at least until it breaks again.
Five Tips for DIY Automobile Repair
You are one of the intrepid few that revel in the satisfaction of fixing automobiles yourself. You enjoy building things no matter the cost or even unfortunate result. While that unintentionally cubist home made book shelf in the living room may lean more towards Braque than Picasso, it represents a valuable lesson learned for the next square and far more rectangular mid-century appearing book shelf. Knowing a few lessons learned the hard way by others can help win at least half the battle when it comes to working on things with engines and more than two wheels. Read the rest of this entry »
Tool of the Week: Battery Charger
Dividing the number of times a tool is used into its own utility makes the battery charger one of the best long-term investments for the absent minded and forward thinker alike. Since the basic design and chemistry of a lead-acid automobile battery haven't changed all that much since the days of Charles F. Kettering, the old battery charger is a tool that is often used for many years before getting passed onto the next generation. The official Clunkbucket battery charger was picked up over three cars and four motorcycles ago, and has never failed in in its ongoing task putting the juice back into the cells.

Radiator Replacement Season
Roasting days mark the unofficial beginning of summer radiator replacement season. One can see the season's early victims on the first wicked hot weekend of the year. There they stand on the side of the road holding up their hoods while their cooling system makes like a steam engine. This mighty 1969 Dodge Polara did not overheat, but did do something equally unacceptable. While ascending the infamous I-5 Grapevine with four people and the air conditioning on full meat locker setting, the Dodge heavy put the 383 big-block into the slightly hot zone. The solution was clear. Full radiator replacement and upgrade. Read the rest of this entry »
Tool of the Week: Wood
From the back to nature desk of our renewable resource and sustainability division comes one of the more versatile and useful items in the Clunkbucket Arsenal of Tools. Wood. Countless blocks, lengths, or chunks of wood make it onto the tool carts and work benches of the world as proof that necessity is the mother of invention. Can't get the car high enough with the floor jack? Block of wood on top of the jack. No parking brake? No problem! Wooden wheel chock. Firewood works especially well in this case for those so equipped. Seal driver kit not equipped with a big enough round to seat the rear main seal on a Mitsubishi Astron engine? Precision cut wood, with hammer. Battery hold down corroded to nothing? Wood wins again as an economical and corrosion free substitute. Sticky starter? A few well-placed raps with a cut-down wooden broomstick and away you go. The block of wood can be used in combination with any number of hammers for non-marring blows or convincing of fancy-finish parts into the right place. Wood used to keep Revolution four-spoke wheels from rolling into the neighbor's expensive land yachts during cleaning, prevents unwanted litigation, and pays for itself a million times over. Any worthwhile tool cart or box carries wood of varying shapes and sizes collected from the light bulb moments of mechanical genius. As we're certain there are myriad uses for wood not mentioned here, additional applications of wood for automotive repairs and/or parts are welcomed in the comments.
Tool of the Week: Super Straight Edge
As we approach the beginning of Mitsubishi Astron engine rebuilding season, it is time for the first in a series of tools that can help get the job done. A quality step in transforming a salvaged engine block into a working short block is checking the deck for flatness. One might think they could lay any old reasonably straight thing across the deck and mark it good, but unblown head gaskets on boosted engines depend on a perfectly flat deck. Measuring this kind of flat requires not just any straight edge, but a super straight edge – machined super straight. There is little room for error. The standard value of deck flatness on the G54B Astron turbocharged engine is 0.0020 inches, with a limit of 0.0039 inches, or one tenth of one millimeter. Checking for flatness requires a super straight edge and the right thickness of feeler gauge. Run the super straight edge across the deck in as many X and H patterns as possible, and see if the feeler gauge goes under the edge at any point. Looking close for any cracks at this time is also a good idea. The super straight edge is also useful for measuring flatness of intake and exhaust manifold surfaces, oil pump gear clearances, and countless other things where flat must be wicked flat. While you might be able to get away with using a belt sander and a vice to get that old Alfa Romeo exhaust manifold surface flat, this same method is not advised for engine block decks. Support your local machine shop to fix warped decks. Listening to SS Decontrol or Minor Threat and using the super straight edge is OK, but using that old McMetrics conversion ruler you picked up from the McDonalds in 1973 as a super straight edge is not.
The Super Straight Edge shown here came from Proform Tools, who were instrumental in the production of this edition of Tool of the Week.

Nuclear Energy
For businesses aiming to thrive amidst nuclear power's current worldwide renaissance, Morgan Lewis offers a full spectrum of legal services. Building upon several decades of nuclear industry experience in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the broader international market, the firm's Nuclear Energy Practice represents more than 60% of existing power plants in the United States and is handling a similar percentage of the applications for new plants in the U.S. More recently, we have applied this industry knowledge and experience to advise clients in international markets, and from our London office, we represent the first applicant for a new nuclear plant in the UK.
We assist our clients with new plants, power plant transactions, plant regulation, enrichment and fuel cycle issues, nuclear waste management, nuclear-related employment issues, and DOE contractor nuclear operations. Our clients are involved not only in generation of nuclear power, but also in all aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle, from uranium mining and enrichment to nuclear waste management and disposal.
New plants
Morgan Lewis's Nuclear Energy Practice is helping a number of businesses position themselves to take full advantage of the growing demand for nuclear services. Our clients include companies applying for design certifications, early site permits, or combined licenses in the U.S and clients applying for Generic Design Approvals and Nuclear Site Licenses in the UK.
We helped obtain the first design certification ever issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the first early site permit (ESP) issued in the U.S. We subsequently have assisted other applicants in obtaining additional ESPs. Our attorneys are also assisting in reinitiating the licensing of formerly deferred plants.
In addition to working with corporate clients, we are also helping industry trade groups resolve generic issues related to the licensing of new nuclear power plants.
Nuclear power plant transactions
Due to economic deregulation in the electric industry, nuclear power facilities have been bought, sold, and in some cases, reorganized to achieve improved financial performance. Morgan Lewis has been representing companies in the acquisition of nuclear facilities—some of them cross-border transactions—and in the reorganization of nuclear assets through the formation of operating and generating companies.
These transactions call upon our informed command of the interplay between commercial and regulatory considerations in the transfer of licenses under U.S. or international regulatory regimes, as well as our demonstrated ability to resolve specialized tax problems, antitrust questions, insurance issues, and complex employment and labor relations issues. The firm is also active in assisting the industry in developing solutions to remove more systemic barriers to realizing the full value of nuclear assets.
Current nuclear plant regulation
Even as Morgan Lewis assists the industry in preparing for a new fleet of power plants, intrusive regulation of current plants continues. The Nuclear Energy Practice counsels nuclear utilities on every aspect of nuclear licensing, regulation, and related investigation and enforcement matters. We offer guidance to nuclear clients in their efforts to recover from regulatory-imposed shutdowns and negative ratings from regulators. Our attorneys frequently assist in the defense and conduct of investigations and in the development of comprehensive recovery plans for utilities that confront major regulatory performance issues.
Morgan Lewis also represents clients in the area of license renewal. The firm has played an active role in industry activities related to license renewal for more than 20 years, and our broad industry involvement informs license renewal strategies tailored to individual clients. To date, Morgan Lewis attorneys have represented more than half of all license renewal applicants in the United States in the regulatory, environmental permitting, agency adjudicatory, and federal litigation arenas.
Morgan Lewis also participates—on behalf of utility clients and industry trade associations—in rulemakings and interactions with regulatory authorities on a range of generic issues, including such matters as decommissioning criteria, maintenance requirements, enforcement policy, reactor oversight processes, financial qualifications, foreign ownership, and export controls. These interactions allow us to provide our clients with critical "real time" insight into evolving government policy and regulatory initiatives.
Enrichment and fuel cycle
Morgan Lewis represents a large and diverse group of domestic and international companies in virtually every segment of the nuclear fuel business, from uranium conversion through enrichment to the manufacture of finished fuel products. We also represent manufacturing companies, as well as healthcare and academic institutions, that use radioactive materials and are subject to regulation.
Morgan Lewis represents the leading uranium enrichment company in the United States and one of the recent prospective enrichment facility applicants. We also represent fabricators of nuclear fuel on a range of domestic and international regulatory issues affecting their manufacturing and sales operations, including the only planned mixed-oxide fuel fabricator. Similar services have been provided by Morgan Lewis to several major European suppliers of nuclear fuel, enrichment, and related services.
Nuclear waste management and decommissioning
Morgan Lewis's Nuclear Energy Practice has successfully handled some of the industry's most challenging radioactive waste management, decontamination, and decommissioning issues. We counsel clients regarding the financial assurance requirements for decommissioning liabilities and the management and tax treatment of decommissioning trust funds. We assist these clients in developing decontamination and decommissioning plans, and provide advice on governmental standards for radiological contamination and other licensing issues. In 2007, Morgan Lewis was selected as lead regulatory counsel to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in its application for a high-level waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.
We are also well placed to assist clients in the UK decommissioning market. Our lawyers were closely involved with the reorganization of the industry following the enactment of the Energy Act in 2004 and the establishment of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and drafted the original Management and Operation Contracts for Sellafield and the Magnox Reactor fleet.
Nuclear-related employment issues
Morgan Lewis represents businesses in investigations involving claims of wrongdoing, and defends our corporate clients, as well as their employees, in multiple forums, including the U.S. Department of Labor, the NRC, the DOE, the U.S. Department of Justice, and state and federal courts. We investigate and defend such claims on behalf of many nuclear utilities and vendors across the nation. We have integrated the firm's litigation, white-collar defense, nuclear regulatory, and labor and employment law capabilities to provide effective defenses in "whistleblower" claims and related investigations.
We also counsel clients on re-engineering and downsizing programs to help ensure compliance with laws that guarantee employees the right to raise safety concerns and to assist clients in developing management systems and training for responding to employee concerns. To minimize client exposure to such claims, the firm performs Safety Conscious Work Environment assessments and provides extensive counseling on the development of effective Employee Concerns Programs.
Morgan Lewis provides management training designed to equip managers and supervisors with the basic tools and practical knowledge to detect and prevent retaliatory situations. Thousands of managers and executives within the nuclear industry, including those at numerous nuclear utilities, DOE prime contractors, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operators, and the DOE itself, have received this training.
DOE contractor nuclear operations
In addition to the firm's representation of clients in the commercial nuclear power industry, Morgan Lewis assists the DOE's largest contractors in an array of complex legal, regulatory, contractual, and operational issues, among them: labor, employment, wage-hour and employee benefits counseling; government contracts; environmental regulation; Price-Anderson enforcement support; and nuclear indemnity and liability matters.
Additional legal services provided
In helping to resolve our clients' complex and often interdisciplinary issues, over the years our Energy Practice has forged a strong interdisciplinary team of attorneys with specific energy industry knowledge and experience in the following areas of law:
- Antitrust
- Bankruptcy
- Employee benefits and executive compensation
- Environmental
- Government investigations and anti-corruption
- Immigration
- Insurance
- Intellectual property
- Labor and employment
- Real estate
- Taxation

Parents can now be at ease because there won't be any twerking going on at the homecoming dance in some of the high schools in Maryland.
According to the article in Huffington Post the contract states no twerking, grinding, and any other vulgar or provocative dances will be allowed.
To attend the homecoming dance students will have to sign a "dancing contract" along with their parents. If a student shows up without the contract they won't be allowed in, offenders will be escorted out and possibly banned from future dances.
The reason for the ban Annapolis Principal Susan Chittim says "Some kids feel left out because of the dancing that occurs."

New Gogo Text and Talk service allows for texting and phone calls while flying on airplanes
Posted By Jeff Belanger On November 14, 2013 @ 6:34 AM In General Tech | 1 Comment
Through Gogo's new Text and Talk service, it has become possible to text and even talk while on flights.
The news, which was announced Friday by Gogo, indicated that those who wished to have the ability to text or talk while flying should download the Gogo Biz app. They will also have to buy a software key, and use that key to activate the Gogo Biz the app when they are connected to to the plane's WiFi. Your phone still has to be in airplane mode, and this will only work on planes that currently support in-flight WiFi and are above 10,000 feet in the air. But, still, it beats the ridiculous amounts airlines charge for their built-in phones.
The emphasis right now is on texting and, according to CNET, texting with Gogo Biz works perfectly while calls are still iffy. "There is strong demand for this service and the ability to text in flight," Brad Jaehn said to NBC. Brad is Gogo's vice president and added that, "we think a lot of our users will want to have the option to text while in flight."
I can definitely see the benefit of being able to text in flight, especially when on a long flight and for the more business-oriented person. I am hoping that they only leave it a texting though, because the idea of hearing dozens of people on their phone, talking, while in an airplane, which can already be a stressful situation for some, is not that appealing.
There is no word yet on how much the software key will cost. And it isn't entirely clear if Gogo Biz allows for free phone calls and texts vis-a-vis VoIP or if it charges per minute or if it uses your phone carrier's billing/plan system. Hopefully we will learn more in the near future.

I read another report, said same thing, but death rate is 30 - 90%, usually the higher % with this Ebola strain.
I do get concerned about 'trying out' viruses, it seemed to happen quite a lot in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Even if it did, there is nothing we can do about that.
It is true that there are too many humans on the planet, poorer countries and those with large numbers will, as pointed out, be the most effected.
It sounds terrible, but by 2020 the world is overpopulated...what are we going to do about that exactly....hope for the best?
I myself prefer the more human approach of natural selection in such times, I do not know if others do, and if they do not, they will do as they please anyhow.

(Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009)—Mayor Mufi Hannemann and members of his senior staff and cabinet toured the floodway that was ravaged by the latest typhoons in Pasig City, Metro Manila, on Saturday, November 7, 2009. Former Mayor Soledad Eusebio, the mother of the City's current Mayor Bobby Esuebio, and members of the Pasig City Council accompanied Hannemann. On the tour, Eusebio pointed out that the latest calamity was the worst natural disaster to ever hit the area. Some 1400 families had to be evacuated and relocated in September. The Mayor addressed flood survivors at the municipality's Multi Purpose Hall where he expressed his deepest empathy for their situation. "This is just a small way of trying to help you. Rest assured that you have our ongoing support, contributions and prayers," conveyed Hannemann. Hundreds of families turned out to receive relief supplies that were hand delivered by Hannemann, which consisted of food, coffee, sugar, soap and other basic necessities. The mayor's cabinet members of Filipino ancestry who assisted in the distribution, included Geoffrey Cudiamat, Manny Lanuevo, Baybee Hufana-Ablan, Joyce Oliveira and Romeo Garcia. The Mayor and his team donated from their personal funds, along with members of the Hawaii Filipino community, to aid citizens displaced by the latest disaster. After Saturday's Gov.

If you happen to have extra big display connected to your Mac and you'd like to watch all movie trailers inside your Front Row in HD (High Definition) format, you should try this command line:
defaults write com.apple.frontrow TrailerBypass http://www.apple.com/trailers/home/xml/current_720p.xml && killall "Front Row"
But you need to make sure that you've extra fast broadband internet access, or you would end up waiting for several minutes to stream-play the HD movie trailer. And you need to pay attention that with low resolution display, you won't find any difference in the trailers' quality, so it's better to keep the default settings.
How to download movie trailers faster?
defaults write com.apple.frontrow TrailerBypass http://www.apple.com/trailers/home/xml/current_480p.xml && killall "Front Row"
Use above command line and you can get your front row to download trailers in lower resolution which is suitable for low-res display. Have fun!

Dr. Phil & Robin's Do-It-Yourself Marriage Makeover
By Kate Coyne
Special Offers
Problem 5: Career Concerns
Dr. Phil: Obviously, a lot has been said about the guilt some stay-at-home moms feel how they wrongly say things like, Im just a housewife, or Im just a mom, when, clearly, thats so false: The work a stay-at-home mom does in caring for a family and a home is tremendous and exhausting and awe-inspiring. Its the toughest job I know, because you start early and you work late 365 days a year. You couldnt pay me enough to do that job.
But women who return to the workplace often feel hugely guilty, too, and that can put a lot of strain on a marriage, especially if her spouse is sitting there feeling resentful that she has a life outside of her home and her family.
Whether you work inside or outside the home, the important thing is that before you can have a conversation with your husband about it, you have to have one with yourself. Youve got to look inside and ask, What do I want? If youre staying home out of guilt because you feel like thats the only way to be a good mom, then youre cheating yourself and your kids. I always tell women: If you love your children, then take care of their mother. If you deny yourself the opportunity to feel fulfilled, to feel like youre using your gifts, your skills, and your abilities, then your kids are going to get a mother thats got an emptiness to her; theyre going to get a mother that has a lot of frustration in her life.
So its OK to embrace a return to the workplace. Even if youve returned to work not out of choice but because you need the money, you can choose to see your job as a chance to be around adults, to get away and recharge your batteries. And sometimes its just good not to have to cut up someones food at lunchtime.
You know, I talked to a mother not long ago, and she said, My children are 6 years old and Ive never spent a single night away from them. She was proud of that, but, listen, its not a good thing. Kids need to know that you can go away and you come back. And you need to know that you can go away and they wont shrivel up and die. Its OK for them to depend on other people, as well as you.
But if you have a husband who is resentful of the time you spend at work, who expects you to be the sole cook, sole housekeeper, sole caretaker for everyone, then its up to you to get his expectations in line. See, it all comes back to having realistic expectations. If your husband thinks you can work, and care for your kids, and care for him, and do it all on your own, then he needs a reality check. And thats up to you: You teach people how to treat you. So if hes sitting there, expecting you to fetch him a drink, its because youve taught him that youll be fetching it for him. And that can change tonight. Hes got arms, hes got legs, he can get up off the recliner and get it himself.
Robin: I never had any resentment about the fact that I had chosen to stay home. But I think a lot of women who dont work outside the home need to focus on remembering who they are. Remember: You can choose to stay at home and still feel entitled to equal say in the decisions that are made for your family. You are more than worth it.

"Practicing the Plow Pose is a great way to release tension and experience a deep stretch." - Andrew Weil, M.D.
Description & History The Plow Pose is a popular yoga pose known in Sanskrit as halasana which comes from hal meaning plow and asana meaning posture. Many consider this a difficult pose and practitioners should be cautious when trying it for the first time. The Plow Pose provides stretching benefits for the neck, shoulders and back as well as the legs and hips. It is said to aid in relaxation and relieve stress.
How to Perform Plow Pose
Potential Health Benefits
Flexibility is important for healthy joints and muscles; oftentimes, limited flexibility leads to injury. Researchers examined yoga as an effective exercise for improving flexibility compared to gymnastics. During the study, 150 male students were divided into three groups that each performed one of the following: yoga, gymnastics, and a control group comprising no specific activity. Results of the year-long study were published in the International Journal of Health, Physical Education & Computer Science in Sports. Researchers found those who performed the yoga poses, one of which was Plow Pose, had a larger increase of flexibility compared to the gymnastics group. These results show practicing yoga poses improve flexibility and may improve overall health while reducing the risk of injury.
Modifications & Variations The Plow Pose is not advised for beginners without proper training and experience. If you are attempting the pose for the first time, you can use a variation that allows less stress on the back and neck. To perform this variation, set a chair near your head and place your feet onto the chair as balance.
If you are able to perform the full Plow Pose, a way to deepen the pose is to squeeze your shoulder blades together to lift yourself up on your shoulders. Once you do this, broaden your shoulder blades and keep resistance in your upper arms as you press into the floor.
Precautions The Plow Pose places strain on the neck and shoulders. If you suffer from neck, shoulder, or back problems, be cautious when performing this pose or avoid it altogether. Also, if you have cardiovascular conditions such as high blood pressure, consult your doctor first before performing this pose. The Plow Pose is considered an intermediate to advanced pose and beginners are advised to start with other variations and other poses before performing this one.

Kevin Costner and Modern WestPresented by StrathmoreThursday, April 5, 2012 at 8:00 PMMusic Center at Strathmore
With his band, Modern West, Oscar-winning actor Kevin Costner (Field of Dreams, Dances with Wolves) makes music that is rough-edged, honest and true. Truth be told, Kevin Costner and Modern West does not sound like a movie stars vanity project. Costner sings about freight trains, dusty avenues and broken dreams in faded jeans, he commands the stage with the same understated sex appeal he has on the big screen (CNN).
Nashville-based singer-songwriter Sara Beck will open.
Get yourself in a Country frame-of-mind with a complimentary beginners line dance lesson before the show. Learn the Cowboy Boogie, the Tush Push, and more all to the beat of Modern Wests latest hits. 7:00 - 7:45PM in the Lockheed Martin Lobby. Boots and Western wear optional.

Target Field
Attendance: 38,918
Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Victor Martinez drove in four runs and Delmon Young knocked in three runs against his former team, as the Tigers downed the Twins, 8-1, in the opener of a three-game series.
Rick Porcello (12-8) held Minnesota to one run on seven hits and three walks over 6 1/3 innings for Detroit, which maintained its 6 1/2-game lead over the Indians atop the AL Central with its seventh win in eight games.
Scott Diamond (0-2), in his second career start, was touched for five runs on 11 hits in 6 1/3 innings to take the loss.
Minnesota has scored five runs during a six-game skid.
"You don't see many teams with four rookies in the starting lineup. It's not an excuse, it's reality. ... It's hard to win when everyone's still trying to learn," Twins first baseman Justin Morneau said when asked about the club's most recent swoon.
The Twins put their first three hitters on base in the second and only pushed one run across on Drew Butera's single to right.
"We dodged a couple of bullets and [Porcello] settled down," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "One hit there could have really broke it open."
Detroit responded in their next at-bat, which Brandon Inge and Austin Jackson got started with singles. Young's base hit plated Inge, and Jackson raced in on Martinez's sacrifice fly.
Young, acquired in a trade with the Twins earlier this month, greeted Glen Perkins with an RBI single after Diamond loaded the bases with one out in the seventh. Martinez added a ground-rule double to left-center to bring in Jackson and Ramon Santiago for a 5-1 cushion.
The Tigers padded the margin with three in the eighth. Santiago tacked on a run-scoring sac fly, Young knocked in Ryan Raburn and Martinez worked a walk with the bases loaded to force in another. Lester Oliveros was credited with all three runs allowed.

Of course it aint good enough to lose to a non-league team at home. Luton good enough for league football,mind. No point thinking we need Paul Lambert back, as Villa are worse off than we are.

Distance learning provides a relatively new method for teaching in higher education. However, the evaluation of these programmes is insufficient at present. The current study adds to the body of research providing guidance for distance educators. The qualitative data collected on 28 students in Hong Kong and Cairo indicates that there are differences based on cultural context in the following areas: communication with peers and module leaders as well as variations in willingness to discuss problems and provide recommendations to enhance the distance education programme. The conclusion points to issues that should be addressed at the module leader and administrative levels.

Former world rally champion Carlos Sainz thrilled his home crowd on Sunday when he drove a Formula One car as part of the Renault World Series season finale in Barcelona.
Sainz had a brief private test with Renault at Silverstone last month to familiarize himself with the 2005 R25 machine, but this time the Spaniard got to perform in front of 80,000 of his countrymen at the Circuit de Catalunya.
The acceleration, the braking, the grip, everything is amazing in this car, Sainz told the Renault team. I have just been testing in Tunisia for the Dakar rally, so going from desert driving to a Formula One car is a pretty big change!
Sainz is no stranger to speed. As well as his rally exploits, he has also ridden a 500cc GP motorbike and been in a fighter plane. However, he insisted driving the R25 was something unique. Renault has given me one of the best experiences of my life, he added.

Stunning Reversal: Majority of Americans Now Pro-Life
Gallop finds the American public is now 51% pro-life and only 42% pro-choice. This is a stunning reveral from the results of polls conducted over a 15 year period. The number of pro-life Americans grew 7% in 2008 while the number of pro-choice Americans dropped 8%.
Gallop has been polling on the issue since 1995. And this is the first time that the pro-life position has not only surpassed pro-choice, but includes a majority of Americans.
Gallop reports that the significant shifts have come from Republicans or those leaning Republican (10% pro-life increase), political moderates (7% pro-life increase), Protestants (8% increase) and Catholics (7% increase).
Laus Deo
Not espousing one side or the other....
...but doesn't that sudden reversal seem odd in the past year? I'd like to see the corrolation of people's self-identification to the preference for actual policy. Is the desire for striking down Roe vs. Wade climbing or not?
For a Liberal, It is Worrisome ...
but I believe these numbers are more important:
If that number were ever to slip below 40% then I could see Roe vs. Wade overturned and chaos in the states. I don't see how this helps Republicans gain support with women or city dwellers or the young, though.
looks like an outlier to me...
and to nate silver, who actually runs the stats.
USA's shift to the right in wake of Obama victory = logical!
Another data point-
Four different polls recently point to declining support for gun restrictions as the answer to crime. In October, a Gallup poll found that fewer Americans than ever favor handgun bans, based on Gallup's 49 year history of polling on the issue. Support fell from a high of 60% in 1959 to a low of less than 30% in 2008. The same trend repeats itself in a question on whether more restrictions are needed on the sales of all firearms, not just handguns.
In addition, three different media polls taken in April reflect plummeting support for gun control. CNN found support has fallen by double digits to less than 40% while an ABC News-Washington Post poll found that more than 60% support enforcing current laws against criminals rather than passing new laws restricting the rights of law abiding citizens. NBC News and The Wall Street Journal found that support for a ban on rifles has fallen by a third in the last 18 years.
All of these polls show what peaceable gun owners already know - that support for the Second Amendment is the dominant belief in America today, and the fallacy that restricting the rights of honest citizens will impact crime has been exposed for what it is.
what the heck is going on? How could Americans get so gung ho over the second amendment while supporting the most leftwing candidate in history?
Maybe you didnt notice during Obama's magnificent campaign last year, but he did the Kabuki dance on multiple issues:
- He came out for tax cuts
- He came out for second amendment rights
- He tried to cater and pander to prolifers
- He opposed gay marriage and the Cali Prop 8
- He forcefully denounced deficits and promised to go after wasteful spending
If he didn't have the track record of the most liberal Senator in the US Senate, you'd might confuse him with a conservative. THAT WAS PROBABLY THE INTENTION. He fooled many uninformed voters into sounding more moderate/open than he really was.
What this has done is make it SAFE TO BE PRO-LIFE, PRO-SECOND-AMENDMENT, AND PRO-TAX-CUTS AND SUPPORT OBAMA.
Since these things in the past were associated with Republicans, people may have been dissuaded from saying they were prolife. They might have thought 'only Republicans hold that position'.
Now here's the hard part - come 2010, when the pro-life, pro-2ndA, pro-fiscal responsibility folks who got gulled into voting for Obama in 2008 look at the fruits of the Democrat Congress.... will they still vote for Democrats?
Not if they push their gun banning, taxpayer-funded abortions, trillion-dollar deficits and huge boondoggle spending agenda.

On the Web - Multimedia
Our new products mailbox has been receiving a lot of press releases introducing new workstations designed specifically for high-end audio and graphic needs. If you're an animator, filmmaker or a recording engineer who uses Linux, hardware and software companies are very interested in getting your business. But, even if you're a regular desktop user, Linux developments in audio and video matter, because at least some of them eventually will make their way into a desktop distribution. So this month, we're going to point you to some LJ Web articles that discuss what is going on in the Linux multimedia world.
If you're interested in a sound card that lets you do more complicated audio tasks, such as recording and mixing music, Peter Todd discusses "Using the Hammerfall HDSP on Linux" (www.linuxjournal.com/article/7024). The Hammerfall is a professional-grade sound card used in studios all over the world; it also happens to run under Linux, thanks to the ALSA Project drivers. It consists of an external module called the Multiface coupled to an internal PCI card. Peter explains that the big difference between the Hammerfall and regular sound cards is that the HDSP "is designed as a sound I/O device. It has inputs and outputs, and you can route sound between them arbitrarily." The article also explains how to use advanced features such as an external time code source, a must for the studio.
In the early spring of 2003, Dave Phillips, author of The Linux Book of Music & Sound, attended the first conference held specifically for Linux audio developers. The report he wrote for us, "Linux Audio Development: A Report from Karlsruhe" (www.linuxjournal.com/article/6762), provides an overview of the main issues discussed at the conference, as well as the directions Linux audio development is taking. Among the topics discussed was JACK, the software toolkit that "provides a professional-grade audio server in a low-latency environment, making arbitrary audio signal routing possible, without dropouts or distortion."
Moving on to the video portion of our presentation, Roberto de Leo's article "Self-Hosting Movies with MoviX" (/article/6474) explains how de Leo came to start the MoviX Project for a self-hosting movie—"a Linux CD mini-distribution that is able to boot and play automatically all audio/video files on the CD." The main point of the article, however, is to walk users through the process of building their own mini-distributions, whether for playing a movie or some other application.
Finally, Geoff Draper wrote an article for us, "The Art of Rewriting Old Games" (www.linuxjournal.com/article/7083), in which he recounts how nostalgia for an old favorite, Nellan Is Thirsty, led him to rewrite the old 8-bit text game. The new version, Thirsty Nellan, "replaces the command-line parser interface of the original game with a point-and-click GUI environment." He also used Alias|Wavefront for the scenery, which we must admit, is some of the cutest penguin artwork we've ever seen. Because many of these old 8-bit games are in the public domain, they too can be re-created for another generation of gamers. Read the article to learn exactly what Draper did, and then go rescue your own old favorite.
If you do rewrite an old game, set up a music studio or edit films on your Linux machines, drop us a line and let us know how you're doing it. And, be sure to check the Linux Journal Web site often. New articles are posted daily.
Heather Mead is senior editor of Linux Journal.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Himalayan Salt Lamp Review and Giveaway
Guest review by DonnasDealsAndMore
I was super excited to do a review on a Salt Lamp from the Himalayan Salt Shop!
Do you suffer from allergies, asthma and/or breathing problems? I do. I don't get sick very often, but when I do it's a sinus infection and it happens during season changes. I had heard about the Salt Lamps on Doctor Oz (read article HERE).
What is so great about Salt Lamps?
These wonderful products actually cleanse the air. They work the same way as synthetic ionizing machines. When the salt is heated (by either a bulb or flame) it releases negative ions into the air. Those ions bond with the positively charged ions of pollutants and allergens which neutralizes them. These lamps have been shown to help people with asthma, allergies, and a host of other diseases.
Not only do they cleanse the air, but they're really pretty too! I keep the blinds open for natural light during the day and in the evening I turn on the Salt Lamp. It creates such a beautiful glow. I have received many compliments on mine. There is no "scent" that emits from the lamp.
These really do make awesome gifts for just about anyone! To purchase one for yourself or someone else, check them out HERE
One of you lucky readers will be receiving your very own Himalayan Salt Shop Lamp!

Khloe Quizzes Kris On Kourtney's Sexual History On Tonight's #KKTNY [VIDEO]
It's tough to be the man in a Kardashian sister's life. We've watched the trials and tribulations of Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian's relationship for years while Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian have had more ups than downs. But Kris Humphries may be the new Disick of the family since the sisters love him one day and are less than thrilled about him the next.
Scott Disick Tries To Protect Kris From Stalker On Sunday's KKTNY [VIDEO]
In a new clip from next week's episode of 'Kourtney & Kim Take New York', Khloe comes to visit. Kim is still not speaking to Mrs. Odom but Khloe decides if she and Kris can get to know each other maybe Kim will loosen up a little.
"You're not staying in here are you?" Kris says to Khloe.
"Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!" Khloe and Kourtney chant.

"I can't handle you guys. I'm gonna go jump from the balcony," Kris responds.
Khloe then goes on to question Kris about how much he really knows about Kourtney and how he feels about her.
"Did she go to college? Did she go to one, two, three or four different colleges? Has Kourtney slept with five, ten, fifteen or twenty people in her life?" Khloe asks.

The Shell Houston Open is a golf tournament on the PGA Tour played at the Golf Club of Houston. The tournament was established in 1946, when it was called the Houston Open and the inaugural event was won by Byron Nelson. The purse has grown from $10,000 to $6.4 million over the years, and has gone through numerous name changes. The tournament has been sponsored by Michelob, Coca-Cola, Independent Insurance, and now Shell – a Houston-based multi-national oil company. The tournament is held a week before the Masters, giving the field its final opportunity to qualify for the major by winning the Texas tournament. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Shell Houston Open Golf Tournament.
Curtis Strange and Vijay Singh are the only two golfers who have won the tournament three times, with Singh winning all three within a four-year span. Singh also holds the record for best score, shooting a -22 in his 2002 win. The tournament has been played at many different courses in the Houston area, including the TPC at the Woodlands and the Quail Valley Club in Missouri City. The tournament is one of the biggest golf tournaments in the state and attracts in the best in game so don't miss out. Score with TicketCity – the place to go for Shell Houston Open tickets.
Check back for a preview of the 2015 Shell Houston Open at the Golf Club of Houston.
In 2014, Matt Jones won the tournament after a playoff with Matt Kuchar. Jones's final score was -15, and Sergio Garcia, Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy and Retief Gooson all finishing in the top 10. Jones was six shots behind Kuchar going into the final day, but was able to nail down eight birdies in the final day.
It all depends on how much time you have, but if you want to both follow groups and stick around certain holes, we suggest going to all four days of the tournament. Practice days are more relaxed, while if you just want to be in the thick of the action at the end, you could just get a Sunday pass.
Houston is one of the biggest cities in the country, and really does have something for everyone. If you're bringing kids, the Houston Zoo is top notch as are the other museums in that same area. You can also check out a Houston Astros game if they are in town during the tournament.
Many of the PGA tour's top players are in the field annually for the tournament, as evidenced by the big names that have been crowned champion. Hunter Mahan, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott and Fred Couples have all won since 2003.

Rifftrax Guys Added to 11p Nerdist Podcast @ SDCC!!!
By Chris Hardwick on July 18, 2011
YES!!! Rifftraxers and former Mystery Science Theater 3000ers Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett will join Kevin Pereira as guests for our added Nerdist Podcast Live show at San Diego Comic-con this Saturday night at 4th & B!!! I freaked out a little (translation: A LOT) when they wrote back and said, "We'd LOVE to do this! Why, you are our puppet-master, Chris Hardwick!" (I may have added that second part)
See them do bits at W00tstock on Thursday and then hear their incredible and hilarious stories at the Nerdist Podcast on Saturday! And if that tweren't enough, there may still be a surprise guest or two!
PLEASE tell me this will be recorded for the podcast!
All you need is Joel, and the circle will be complete!
My heart just stopped. This MUST be recorded!
I think I just crapped myself. Best guest choice ever.
Oh man the awesome in that room well reach deadly levels.
Chris…seriously….when you got Gaiman i did a post about you reading my mind to pick the perfect guests. Now you come up with the Rifftrax crew? Un-f@##king-believable!! I cannot WAIT to hear this one. I will be listening with my home-constucted pefect replica of Tom Servo. (#geek-brag, #MST-Fan-4-life, #i-have-no-@#$ing-idea-what-hash-tagging-is).
Peace .n. We've Got Movie Signnnnnnn!
3ToFPS: Ask Kevin about Tom's missing Corn-beef-hash from the MST movie.
id also like to know if theses sdcc shows will be up on nerdist.com at some point in the future?
Love the idea, but a $9 convenience charge is insane.
It is required by law that this gets recorded properly. You will go to prison if there is a single error. But seriously, why are people asking if it will be recorded when it says it's a Nerdist podcast live. Podcast is the key word here guys.
I'd pay a $50 convenience charge to be there for both shows, I however live on the east coast and therefore can not attend. I do hope that Chris will release both podcasts asap after the shows and not stick to the normal format just this once, as my raging nerd boner (that's an awful visual) will not be able to contain itself that long. I've been waiting for Big C to have the rifftrax guys on forever.
I'm gonna see these guys at w00tstock
Question: hav you guys ever thought about making The Nerdistpodcast laptop stickers?
Question: hav you guys ever thought about making The Nerdist Podcast laptop stickers?
Don't let Mike touch the podcasting equipment! He had a horrible time with the Hubble…
Don't let Mike's Asian girlfriend steal your keyboard!
[…] The second Nerdist Podcast live show in San Diego during Comic-Con just keeps getting better. First, Kevin Pereira signed up as a guest. Then, the Rifftrax guys, Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett, were announced as guests, too. […]

Caddo wildlife refuge land transfer memo still in limbo
Caddo Lake — One year after two federal bureaucracies ended an 18-month stalemate over the Caddo Lake National Wildlife Refuge, the paperwork appears mired at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
At issue is a memorandum of understanding between the Army and Fish and Wildlife Service that the two federal departments argued over from August 2010 to April 2012.
The agreement prompted a community celebration at Caddo Lake State Park, adjacent to the 8,416-acre wildlife refuge.

Good to see the lads come out fighting after the debacle at the weekend. We played with a real intensity in the first half and were only undone by a flash of brilliance from Bale as Spurs didn't really trouble our defence. Looks like Leeds are continuing the feeder club tradition that we seem to have built up. If Becchio is in the same mould as Johnson and Snodgrass we may have got ourselves a good deal It was time for Morison to move on.Hope he does well He was great for us in the first part of last season but since then he has definitely fallen away.
