The purpose of this bulletin is to give a brief overview of the problem of "spam". Spam is email that you may receive from a completely unknown source, almost always unwanted, and very often potentially dangerous. It is important to be aware of the dangers of spam, because it is often used by individuals with criminal intent to perpetrate identity fraud.
Most spammers are legitimate, albeit obnoxious, business people who are merely trying to make a profit selling goods and services. However, there is also a significant sector of the spammer world that is composed of criminal elements. Organized criminal elements from various parts of the world are often involved in the spam business. For this reason, it is important to understand that spam can be very dangerous.
Legitimate businesses exist worldwide which compile and sell mailing lists of email addresses. Email mailing lists are very valuable because for the cost of a few pennies, it is possible to email potential customers or victims numbering in the millions located in all 200+ countries worldwide—something which would cost millions of dollars to implement using conventional "snail" mail.
Emailing list companies harvest email addresses legitimately, illegitimately, and also "methodically". For example, emailing list companies will take a known email address and run a computer program to generate "educated guesses" about email addresses within the home institution from which the email address originated.
The method works like this:
If the email address for John Smith at Wilson College or the SuperBizzie.com company is known to be:
email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com
The email list company will send out a blastogram that would span a range of addresses such as:
email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com
firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com
email@example.com email@example.com
….. etc …. ….. etc ….
email@example.com email@example.com
Addresses that generate "unknown address" messages are simply crossed off their list. Those that don't are addedautomatically to their list.
PLEASE NOTE - For safety and security reasons, the Wilson College email server DOES NOT respond AT ALL to messages sent to invalid addresses. These messages are just deleted. More and more administrators are adopting this policy to block these types of attacks.
As you can imagine, if it is your business to generate emails, and you have the technical means, it is not hard to generate emailing lists with literally millions of email addresses.
Email mailing list vendors also routinely troll websites to harvest email addresses. So, for example, we must take for granted that any email address posted on the Wilson College website will inevitably end up on emailing vendors' lists. Then, those vendors will generate "educated guesses", as described above, to add names to their lists.
Legitimate vendors are genuinely respectful of those wishing to be crossed off of their lists. However, the illegitimate vendors merely use "unsubscribe" messages to confirm vulnerable victims! Therefore, if you receive spam from an unknown source, it is best NOT to follow the "unsubscribe" process offered by the spammer. More about this later.
Such spammer emailing lists can be bought on the open market. Their price will depend on their size, quality, and reputability.
Spam Filters – How They Work, How They Fail
In a good year, the problem of spam can cost US businesses millions of dollars per year. Spam clogs up circuits and storage space, both of which cost money to make available for legitimate usage. Furthermore, spam is often also the "infectious pathogen" for criminal schemes, and computer viruses. Businesses keep their cases of victimization confidential, because it does not make them look good. However, it should be noted that some spam-propagated viruses in the past few years have brought the Fortune 500's email systems to their knees for periods of up to 48 hours.
Spam filtering companies work on principles similar to those used by email address list builders. Filtering companies harvest spam and build databases that identify: (1) senders (originating email addresses) (2) subject lines, and (3) message content. This database data is then constantly fed to the customers of the spam filtering companies. Spam filtering software scans incoming email messages for patterns matching the spam filtering database records, and eliminates those that match the identified patterns.
Spammers try to get around filtering software by varying the "patterns" of their spam. Spammers will constantly change their "sender" email address, using legitimate and illegitimate methods. Then, they will inject characters, digits, and text randomly into the subject lines and message text fields to degrade the identifiable patterns used by spam filtering software. This explains why much spam today contains seemingly bizarre or nonsensical characters or strings of text (often classical poetry) that seems completely unrelated to the purpose of the message.
Worldwide Spam Problem
A December 6, 2006 article in the New York Times noted that in 2003, Bill Gates had predicted that the spam problem would be solved by 2006. Spam received by businesses was significantly reduced in early 2006. However, in the second half of 2006 there was a resurgence of spam received by businesses even greater than before. Currently, the problem of spam is seen in terms of crisis proportions, because spammers' techniques for evading spam filtering technologies are in ascendancy.
The most successful current technique that spammers are using is to transfer their messages to picture formats (jpg or gif files) and embed them in emails containing random and meaningless text. This type of spam is known as image spam. Spam filtering companies are working on new ways to filter this type of spam, but have not yet developed a way to filter out image spam.
Spam-filterers (the Good Guys) are constantly chasing a moving target. Right now, the bad guys are winning. We'll keep you posted.

Bulletin Date: 10 April 2007
Real Life Wilson Example:
There is currently a worldwide epidemic of spam which is affecting every business and institution as badly as Wilson College. It is very possible that the spam epidemic will get worse before it gets better. The IT Team is monitoring industry reports so that we can react optimally to changing conditions.
Revised: 10 April 2007
Virus and SPAM scanning is handled at Wilson College by a product known as Sybari. The company has recently been purchased by Microsoft so this should increase it's effectiveness.
Unlike some solutions that deliver all messages to your mailboxes and THEN try to filter viruses and SPAM, Sybari filters them BEFORE they get to you. Messages detected by our system are just deleted instead of just tagged as SPAM or delivered to a SPAM folder which you would need to empty.
We went with this particular company due to their extremely high Virus (Zero since installation in 2000 following an outbreak of the Melissa virus) and SPAM (>95%) detection rates as well as their low "false positive" rates (<1 in 10,000). The SPAM detection rate has dropped recently due to the worldwide proliferation of "Image SPAM".
The Virus scanner scans each message with scanners from multiple vendors for greater security (If one vendor misses it, another will catch it)
(Vendors: AhnLabs, CA InoculateIT, CA Vet, Network Associates (McAfee), Norman Data Defense and Sophos).
The Wilson College virus scanners update themselves every 24 hours and the SPAM scanner updates itself every 15 minutes.
Wilson College receives between 35,000 and 50,000 emails daily. Of that, between 70% to 85%
We have also started using "RBLs" (Realtime Block Lists) to assist in the SPAM filtering battle. They catch an additional 5-7%.

Mostly love it
By Wine Lover
from Scottsdale, AZ
Best Uses
Mostly happy with the tree. First tree arrived with quality defect - was unable to plug in bottom section lights (connector not installed/included). Second tree works. LED lights are not as uniform as I would have hoped, but overall a nice, realistic looking tree especially for smaller spaces. Nice to have a realistic looking tree and not have to worry about watering it or it drying out. Will pay for itself within a couple years, given the price of real trees. Looking forward to many years of enjoyment.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love my tree
By ShelleyV
from Saskatchewan ,Canada
I bought this tree for my living room , for a corner ...... its a beautiful tree ( once fluffed up) I am happy with my purchace :)
worth the money!
By sandy
from san francisco, ca
tree is great! I would have gotten a taller tree but the service rep, when i called about the size of the stand, stated that the stand was anywhere from 12 - 18 inches. it turns out to be more like 8 inches. definitely would have gotten the 7.5 ft slim.all in all, an amazing product with very realistic noble fir qualities!
very realistic
By Meemster
from Alberta, Canada
I don't have anything bad to say about this tree, except that it seemed expensive...but you get what you pay for. I have to keep reminding myself that this tree is not real! Also, it has lots of lights on it and the tree is beautifully bright when lit. The narrow shape is exactly what I wanted and looks great once properly fluffed. The tree assembled easily with essentially no needle drop. I am happy!

Do you have an active Non-American Netflix subscription and wish to watch American Netflix content?
Well If you have a Windows 8 pro/RT device I have a tool for you. The Netflix Region tool.
I have recently created a tool that will work both on Windows 8 pro devices as well as RT devices such as the Surface. However it is currently in Beta stages and will only work with the Surface RT/Pro, however it is quite simple to get it to work with other devices. We will discuss this further later on.
This is a very simple tool that will allow users in Canada (and Possibly other countries) watch American Netflix content. This tool is meant for Windows 8 devices because you must use the Netflix Modern App to gain access and not the web browser interface.
This is what the tool looks like.
- Option 1 will turn on the ability to view American netflix content
- Option 2 will turn off the ability to view American Netflix Content (You will want to turn it off when you are not using it because it may cause issues browsing the web with this tool turned on)
- Option 3 will open up the network connections folder where you can see all of your network adapters. (This will be useful for users who do not have a Surface Pro/RT device Because you will need to rename your Network adapter to "Wi-Fi". This is because the Surface pro/RT use the name Wi-Fi for there network card)
- Option 4 will take you to the about page.
- Option 5 will exit the tool
If you are a user without a Surface Pro/RT you will need to use option 3 first to open up the network connections folder and select the network adapter you are currently using and rename it to "Wi-Fi"(Right click the network card and select rename). This is just the visual name of the network card it will not effect your network what so ever. Once you have changed the network card name you can now select option 1 and the tool will work just like if you have a Surface Pro/RT.

the true test of any one's faith is this
when put to the test ...
can it withstand
the storms of life ...
can it uphold them in the very pit of tragedy ...
is that faith growing or stagnant ...
faith is a very personal issue ...
... when life dishes out
pain, sorrow and in some cases death,
people clamor ... they scramble to hold onto
faith and seek comfort therein.
a life ring if you will
faith reminds me of
the strength and stability of
a barn ...
a most beautiful site to behold
a most beautiful site to behold
tall and graceful
built on rock solid foundations
they last for generation
upon generation
our family barn and out buildings hail from the turn of the century
vintage machinery, 'put out to pasture'
a common sight here in the Midwest
historically preserved round barn
so, cling to your faith
ramp it up,
grow it strong
set a course with that faith
a course that will withstand the storms
of life.
like the family barn,
pass it on
stoic faith
tall and graceful
built on a rock solid foundation
upon generation

Largest Business Contribution Ever to Eisenhower
Speaking at the press conference, Mr. Solomon praised the community in which he lives. "This valley has been very good, not only to our company, but to all builders, developers and so many other businesses. One of the interesting aspects to our business is that we build homes for people who come to the Coachella Valley for a lifestyle…and our customers would not be coming here if it weren't for Eisenhower Medical Center. We know that. We need Eisenhower probably more than Eisenhower needs us."
Michael D. Landes, President, Eisenhower Medical Center Foundation, expressed his thanks to Mr. Solomon. "Eisenhower Medical Center has benefited from Mr. Solomon's knowledge, focused attention to detail and strategic vision as a member of the Facilities and Grounds Committee here at Eisenhower — and now we are the beneficiaries of his generosity. For that, we will be ever grateful."
In his final remarks at the press conference, Mr. Solomon, a Coachella Valley resident since 1975, expressed his hope that more of the Valley's developers will contribute to Eisenhower. "As we go into the 21st century, it's so necessary to have a facility to take care of the population that builders, such as we are, bring to this valley."

Internet TV - what's on offer and from whom
You've heard all about smartphones, but what about smart TV? Here, we run you through all the big names and what they're offering with their web TV services. We'd love to tell you which one is best, but it really comes down to personal preference. When the TVs are released we suggest that you go along to your local retailer and have a play around with the interface yourself and find out exactly which apps will be available in your country.
LG Smart TV
LG's service is known as Smart TV and offers a simple-to-use interface that will give you access to thousands of movies, customisable apps and videos, as well as a web browser. The user interface houses a simple dashboard with four main sections - TV Live, Premium Content, TV Apps and a Launch Bar and you can even download a free app for iPhone and Android-based smartphones in order to control the system. You'll be able to access various services such as BBC's iPlayer, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Picasa as well as a wide selection of apps from the LG App Store, including games and news-based apps.
LG Smart TV is available on a range of the brand's new LED, LCD and plasma HDTVs, including: LV550T, LW550T, LW650T, LW770T, LW950T, PZ570T and PZ950T. The platform is also available on a number of other products including Blu-ray players. Along with its new TV service, LG also introduced its Smart TV Upgrader ST600 - a set-top box that effectively lets you transform any TV with an HDMI port into a web-enabled TV.
Panasonic Viera Connect
Panasonic used CES to unveil its enhanced internet IPTV option in the form of Viera Connect - an expanded version of its Viera Cast service that launched in 2008. Along with gaming and social networking, the service will also give you access to the new Viera Connect Market where you can personalise your internet TV experience by choosing from a wide range of third-party apps including YouTube, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, eBay, Napster and film-streaming service Netflix.
As well as playing two-way games over the internet with your pals, you'll also be able to carry out video calls with them using Skype or broadcast to the world using Ustream. Viera took its internet TV offering one step further with the news that it will be introducing the Viera Tablet. This touchscreen device will enable easy access to a variety of cloud services in conjunction with its Viera digital televisions. There are 4-, 7- and 10-inch versions already launched in Japan, but Panasonic is yet to confirm which models will be available elsewhere. The tablet is due before the end of 2011.
Samsung Smart Hub
Samsung has previously offered fairly comprehensive internet options on its TVs in the form of its Internet@ TV web widgets. The word "widgets" now appears to be been eclipsed by the buzzword of the last year - "apps". The brand's Smart Hub offers access to Samsung Apps which offers a range of paid-for and free apps covering sports, entertainment, information, games and social networking. Available apps will include YouTube, Facebook, ESPN, Vimeo and Twitter.
A Search All function has been included to make it easier to search for desired content on your TV and other DLNA-capable media storage devices, networked PCs and internet and video-on-demand services. The Your Video service provides handy recommendations based on your viewing history and what's more, you'll also get access to a full web browser that's customised for use on the TV.
Sony Bravia Internet Video
Sony's 2011 range of TVs includes 22 internet-connected models, sporting the brand's Bravia Internet Video platform, and is connectible via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. This means that they offer access to over 40 free movie, video and music services including Sony's Video on Demand and Music Unlimited, powered by Qriocity, along with YouTube, Netflix, Pandora, HuluPlus, Amazon Video on Demand and Blip.tv. The Video on Demand streaming services will give you access to Hollywood blockbusters, while Music Unlimited is a cloud-based streaming option that opens up a selection of over 6 million tracks.
Some of the new models will also have Skype embedded so that you'll be able to video call your friends and family for free; once you've invested in the CMU-BR100 Sony camera and microphone. You can even make voice calls at the same time as watching TV, if multi-tasking is your thing. The connected TVs will also include Sony's Track ID, powered by Gracenote, that can identify any song on your TV and provide the artist, album and song information.
As well as unveiling its gigantic 70-inch Quattron TVs at CES, Sharp also announced that its entire 2011 TV lineup will feature built-in Wi-Fi capability for hooking up to web-based services. The TVs will sport a suite of network features that will include CinemaNow, Netflix and VUDU, along with DLNA video streaming for transferring content to and from compatible kit such as PCs and mobile devices.
As well as video streaming, you'll also get access to Sharp's online Aquos Advantage Live customer service. However, there was no mention of a full web browser, as found on some rival services.
Toshiba is still offering a fairly basic web TV function when compared with the updated offerings from rival manufacturers. Built-in Wi-Fi is available in selected TVs within its 2011 range, offering Net TV which includes a small selection of online apps such as Flickr, Facebook, Picasa, Pandora and Twitter.
You can also access Yahoo! web widgets such as Yahoo! News, Weather and Finance and eBay. As well as the Yahoo! set of widgets, you'll also be able to use apps such as Netflix and YouYube. It seems that Toshiba's web TV service only offers this ring-fenced selection of apps, rather than an app market or full internet browsing.
Haier/Windows Embedded TV
Although there won't be an actual Microsoft-branded "Windows TV" launching any time soon, if ever, Chinese manufacturer Haier was the first brand to showcase a prototype TV model based on Microsoft's Windows Embedded software. Despite pre-CES rumours about the launch of Windows TV, it seems that Microsoft will simply be offering its software to OEMs so that they can build their own internet TVs. The Haier TV that we saw had all the features that you'd expect from a smart TV including plenty of third-party apps and games, along with internet browsing.
In an exclusive interview, Microsoft's senior product manager for Windows Embedded Marketing, Mark Pendergrast, told us that: "We see this as a competitive offering to Google TV - Windows Embedded is an alternative platform for manufacturers to create their own smart TV".

Declassified at Last: Air Force's Supersonic Flying Saucer Schematics
Officially, aliens have never existed but flying saucers very nearly did. The National Archives has recently published never-before-seen schematics and details of a 1950s military venture, called Project 1794, which aimed to build a supersonic flying saucer.
The newly declassified materials show the U.S. Air Force had a contract with a now-defunct Canadian company to build an aircraft unlike anything seen before. Project 1794 got as far as the initial rounds of product development and into prototype design. In a memo dating from 1956 the results from pre-prototype testing are summarized and reveal exactly what the developers had hoped to create.
The saucer was supposed to reach a top speed of "between Mach 3 and Mach 4, a ceiling of over 100,000 ft. and a maximum range with allowances of about 1,000 nautical miles," according to the document.

Metro Vacuum ED500
$50.82 and made in the USA
2 weeks ago I went on Amazon.com to order some more canned air. I saw they wanted $12 for 2 of them. What I also saw was a product that was getting great reviews called the Metro Vacuum ED500. The name is a little deceiving, it doesn't actually suck at all, it's just a really large blower, with an air filter on the bottom of it. Come to find out, Techzilla also recently reviewed it on their show.
I have since received the ED500 and it's FANTASTIC! I had some dirty power supplies and a few used dirty computers lying around. It made them look like new. I can't recommend this enough. So if you are tired of buying canned air and freezing your finger tips off give this product a try you won't be disappointed.
When using this device just remember to hold the fan blades you are blowing in place with a screw driver or something similar so you don't wear out the bearings.

It's also worth pointing out that wrestling a shark cannot be less stressful than staying at home.
Are you serious? He was not planning on wrestling a shark. He was RELAXING and saw a shark going towards his kids and he reacted. Should he of just let the shark go at his kids because he was worried he was going to aggravate his stress and get fired?

NAVARRE — A man who drove his pickup truck into the East Bay River on Monday and died has been identified as Justin Raye Diel, 39, of Navarre, according to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office.
Diel, a retired Hurlburt Field airman, had borrowed a maroon pickup truck from a friend and told his mother he needed to return it, according to the Sheriff's Office.
His mother was following him in the borrowed pickup about 1:40 p.m. on State Road 87 when Diel turned his own tan pickup truck onto a road leading to the river, according to the incident report from the Sheriff's Office. She stopped her truck and tried to open the other truck's door, but he drove into the water, the Sheriffs' Office reported.
His mother told deputies that "when she saw the water, she knew what he was going to do," according to the report.
Members of the Sheriff's Office's dive team had visibility of less than 6 inches at times as they searched for the truck, a according to a Sheriff's Office news release. The truck finally was found at 3:30 p.m.
A commercial tow truck tried to pull it from the water but could not. Divers had to reattach the cables so a second, larger tow truck could pull the pickup from the water, the news release said.
Diel was reported dead at about 5:41 p.m., according to the incident report.

My daughter wears a 26 in a similar speedo for her HS team. She thought the 26 was a little too tight and wanted the next size up for her practice suits. the 28 in the suit feels even smaller than the 26 in her team suit. Have to return it.
second suit of this style I've purchased
Love this suit and I know it'll last super long because its an endurance plus suit! All my endurance suits last a good year and a half if I rinse them out after wearing them.
This suit was purchased for my daughter who swims in a summer team. The fit was perfect in every way and she said it was super comfortable for the competition meets. Seems like the suit will last a very long time!
looks great...works great...
looks better on the picture then in person, it was also too small
This suit fits exactly like any other size 36 Speedo. It feels more stretchy than my last polyester suit.
This suit fits well and (so far) is durable. I use it almost daily for lap swimming/teaching lessons and everything stays in place! I'm a size 5 in junior jeans (4 in women's) and the 32 pinches my butt a bit. However, it's bearable and not too big of a problem.
Bought for my daughter for swim team. The suit was so small she couldn't get her legs in. Had to return it.

text: Sony Corp. has reached a preliminary agreement with Viacom Inc. to carry the media company's cable channels on its planned Internet-based TV service, a person familiar with the matter said, a significant boost for the Japanese company as it races to secure content rights against technology firms vying to offer similar services.Sony plans to stream traditional cable channels, as well as on-demand content, over the Internet, posing new competition for cable, satellite and phone companies which have long sold subscription TV services.Sony must still finalize details of its preliminary deal with Viacom, the person says. Sony also has had discussions with major programmers including Walt Disney Co. Time Warner Inc. CBS Corp., people familiar with the situation say. The status of those talks isn't clear.A person familiar with the matter said Sony is hoping to launch its online pay TV service by the end of the year. Initially, at least, the service is expected to be available via Sony's PlayStation gaming console - a new edition of which could be released soon - as well as "Bravia" high-definition TVs, but later will also work on other Sony devices including tablets and smartphones, the person said.

DESTIN — Matthew Tindall might have to wait two more decades, but he's certain he will own a five-star restaurant.
The 17-year-old Niceville High School student discovered a passion for cooking at age 11 and hasn't stepped out of the kitchen since.
"I started out with Hamburger Helper, little box things, adding my own spices," Tindall said.
His quest for culinary greatness spiked to a boil in the last week as he started an internship with local chef Tim Creehan, who owns Cuvee Bistro.
The two connected after Tindall's father met Creehan and asked if he would be willing to mentor his son. Creehan made no promises, but agreed to meet with Matthew.
"(I was) nervous all day and walked in and thought, 'I know it is going to go one of two ways: Either I get it or I don't'," Matthew said.
His "spirit" caught Creehan's attention.
"I was Matt," Creehan said with a smile.
Creehan said he also began his career as a teenager, and credits part of his success to a chef who took the time to mentor him. Now, he's ready to return the favor.
"We've been successful," Creehan said. "We have the money. We have the time."
Creehan has mentored several chefs over the years, but now he wants to make a concerted effort to have someone in his kitchen all the time to help define their career path, even if it leads away from the kitchen.
"We tell them up front this is a serious business," Creehan said. "All I need from you is a commitment you're going to do this."
Just before taking on Matthew, Creehan had mentored Ashlie Weddell, who had just graduated from culinary school.
After spending 240 hours in the kitchen, Weddell said she's become familiar with preparing everything from salads to desserts thanks to Creehan, and is one step closer to owning a restaurant on the beach.
She said she'd recommend getting an internship to anyone considering a career in the culinary world, but to do their research beforehand.
"Scope out a place that you're proud to eat at," she said. " … If you don't like the food, you definitely don't want to work there."
Creehan said the time, money and effort he will devote to the interns is all worth it.
"It's so rewarding to me," he said. "I've obviously put my life into this business."

We've offered serious cam discussions in the past; however, this month's How It Works takes it to a whole new level. Cam tech is indeed a complex science, but the typical hot-button itemslike how duration and lift affect the power curve and how to set valve lashhave been covered in exhausting detail already in dozens upon dozens of past stories. The goal this time around is to focus on hard-core topics eating away at hard-core racers; if you want to know how to adjust your cam specs to help get your small-tire drag car hook, keep reading. For circle track racers wanting big power and rpm, but are limited by maximum valve lift rules, you'll find helpful advice in the following pages. Got a set of 500-cfm Big Chief heads that flow to over a full inch of lift, but keep eating valvesprings? How about a Pro Stockcaliber motor that keeps bending cam cores like a wet noodle? We'll reveal how to address these situations. True cam experts are sometimes harder to find, but fortunately, we've tapped into two of the sharpest minds in the industry. So in the words of Chris Mays of COMP Cams, and Nolan Jamora of Isky Racing Cams, here's a healthy helping of some extra juicy camshaft tech.
Small Tire Racing Cams
Chris Mays: Whether it's small tire drag racing or in oval track competition, we're often faced with the challenge of trying to design cam specs around traction limitations. It's a good problem to have, and it beats not having enough power. That said, shocking the tires isn't a good thing. A very effective solution is to widen the lobe separation angle. The wider we can pull the LSA apart, the softer we hit the tires. This spreads the powerband out a little bit and moves the torque curve higher up in the rpm range. If that's not enough, the second step is to add a few more degrees of duration on the intake lobe, exhaust lobe, or both. This effectively alters the shape of the torque curve. Every time you add duration, whether it's on the intake or exhaust lobes, you move the torque curve higher up in the powerband. Sometimes, just adding 4-8 degrees of duration on the exhaust lobe and widening the LSA 1-2 degrees will be enough to make a car much easier to hook up at the track. These simple changes yield torque characteristics that are very similar to the original cam, but don't dramatically alter the powerband. Putting these theories into practice, let's say you have an Outlaw 10.5 car with a big-block that's having trouble hooking up out of the hole. Since it makes so much power, how it runs from the 330-foot mark to the finish line is the most important aspect of how well it runs down the quarter-mile. Adding a few degrees of duration on the intake and exhaust and widening the LSA a couple of degrees can make a dramatic improvement in 60-foot times. The catch is that if you widen LSA too much, it will hurt midrange acceleration.
Nolan Jamora: In motors that make good power but blow the tires off, there are a few simple tuning tricks you can try at the track. The first step is to retard the cam a couple of degrees. That will move the torque band up a few hundred rpm, and give you more top end power. Another option is to play with the valve lash. If you want to lighten up the bottom end, you can loosen the lash. This will make the engine think the cam is smaller than it really is by opening up the intake valve later. As a result, the motor won't hit the tires as hard, but will still have the same peak lift at high rpm. If neither of these changes are effective, the next step is to install a new cam with a wider lobe separation angle. Simply widening the LSA from 108 to 112 degrees will make a night and day difference in how quickly the torque curve comes on. At the track, a cam with a wider LSA won't hit the tires until after the 60-foot mark, but still pull hard up top. For instance, we're now using 114- to 116-degree LSAs in our Pro Stock camseven though they're naturally aspiratedto prevent tire shake. In an extreme race application like this, a wider LSA doesn't really sacrifice anything. It does sacrifice low-end torque a bit, but it won't hurt the midrange at all.

BONIFAY — Holmes County Development Commissioners discussed the Lonnie Lindsey property and the Interstate Industrial Building Tuesday, Oct. 2, only to come to the conclusion that they are still at square one — waiting on contracts from prospective buyers.
The 4.2 acres of property on Lonnie Lindsey Drive which is owned by the HCDC was to sell to James Sellers for $6,400, but when Panhandle Forestry mistakenly accessed the property to harvest timber, Sellers reduced his offer to $4,000 and the commissioners voted at the Sept. 4 meeting to decline the lesser amount.
This month, no further word had been heard from Sellers.
"Where does this leave us?" asked board chairman Bud Riviere.
"Is he still interested in the property?" vice chairman Tim Wells asked.
"I've had no contact with Mr. Sellers since the last meeting," Riviere said.
"I think we're back to Square One," Wells said. "If he is still interested in the property, he needs to contact us."
"At this time, I think we just have to wait and see what he wants to do," said board member Mike Alvis.
Alvis said he was told by Sellers that Panhandle Forestry had offered $1,000 in compensation to Sellers for damage to the property, and asked if the company shouldn't pay the $1,000 to the commission.
Administrative assistant Elaine Mayfield said she had been contacted by the forestry company, who offered $1,500 for access through the land, but she had denied the offer since she did not have the authority to approve such action.
Commissioner Shirley Hawthorne suggested that in the future, the board require contracts be in writing before bringing the matter before the commission for approval, since there had not been a written contract for the $6,400 amount which was originally approved as the selling price by the commissioners.
In the case of the Interstate Industrial Building, Alvis told commissioners that the HCDC should be seeing a contract to purchase that property by Oct. 12 from Qualico Steel Company, a company owned by John Downs.
The commission had received a letter of intent to purchase from Qualico Steel, but the letter expired on Sept. 13. The new contract is expected to have some additional requirements, including exclusion from taxes and having a roadway paved by the HCDC, Alvis said.
The purchase price listed for the property on the letter of intent was $602,500 for the 9.34 acres and buildings. Commissioner Alvis also serves as Qualico Steel's real estate broker on the purchase.
"I am ready to tender my resignation from the board," Alvis said. "I don't want anything to stand in the way of bringing jobs to Holmes County."
Qualico Steel is supposed to bring 25 jobs with the new business, and expects it could hire as many as 100 people by next year, Alvis said.
"So we're basically at the same place with this deal, waiting on a contract," Riviere said.
Alvis said that was correct, but he expects the commissioners to have a contract in hand on Oct. 12.
"Hasn't this been ongoing for two years?" asked commissioner Frances Williams.
Alvis said Qualico Steel's interest in the property has waxed and waned over the years.
The commissioners also decided to hold a special meeting on Oct. 23 to discuss the Raper Property.
The HCDC has been invited to essentially loan a property owner money in exchange for receiving 60-plus acres free and clear, Riviere explained.
Commissioner Sandy Spear said she felt that she was not well enough informed about the Raper Property proposal to make any kind of decision, and asked if a special meeting to discuss the deal could be arranged. "I know some of us are new on the board and we would like to have more information, at least I know I would," she said.
The board also heard a proposal from the Regions Bank financial advisor team, led by Jacob McKelvey. The board is considering moving its portfolio to a different money management firm. Next month representatives from Edward Jones will attend the Nov. 13 meeting and make a similar proposal for the board to consider.
