OK, you've graduated from oil and filter changes to tune-ups and even brake jobs. You've got a tool box fairly well-stocked with metric and SAE combination wrenches and sockets, and all the screwdrivers and pliers you'll ever need. You also have the obligatory locking pliers and a BFH or two.
But now you find it tougher and tougher to light up the rear tires on launch, and may even feel a bit of slippage in the clutch. You have a little free play at the top of the pedal, so you believe the clutch is properly adjusted (more on this later), and it's been 40,000, 50,000 or more miles since the clutch was last replaced. Or, more likely, your prized Corvette has seen a number of owners before you, and you have no idea of when, if ever, the clutch was replaced. Suddenly that clammy feeling drifts over you as you have visions of a giant bill to keep your Vette on the road, and you think to yourself, "Geez, is there any way I can do this myself and save some money?"
Good news! You can, and you can, particularly if yours is a C1, C2, or C3. Clutch replacement in these cars is surprisingly straightforward, requiring about as much muscle as it does know-how. To get the low-down, we contacted the folks at S.P.E.C., Inc. who offer a full line of performance clutches and related products. They supplied a clutch kit for our '58 C1 factory 283/270 dual quad car, and also supplied some useful technical information. Here's the deal:
How It Works
A clutch is surprisingly simple in operation. A clutch disc with friction material on both sides is sandwiched between the flywheel and the pressure plate, also referred to as a clutch cover. The clutch disc has a splined center and "floats" fore and aft on the splines of the transmission's input shaft. The pressure plate is bolted rigidly to the flywheel, and has a friction surface that moves fore and aft to clamp the clutch disc firmly to the flywheel when the clutch pedal is released.
A clutch release bearing, also called a throwout bearing, presses against levers (fingers) in the pressure plate which are hinged so that when the pedal is depressed, the bearing pushes against the levers, pulling back the friction surface of the pressure plate. This allows the clutch disc to "float" between the flywheel and the friction surface of the pressure plate so that no power is transmitted to the input shaft of the transmission. The bearing is activated by a pivoted fork and mechanical linkage from the pedal on early cars, and by hydraulics on C4 and newer Corvettes. Simple, right?
A clutch is nearly maintenance-free, save for occasional adjustment and, ultimately, replacement. Since the throwout bearing absorbs rotational energy, it's important that it is separated from the levers of the pressure plate as much as possible. Otherwise it will be spinning constantly and will quickly wear out. A faulty throwout bearing can be readily identified by a whining sound when the clutch pedal is depressed slightly, bringing it in contact with the levers of the pressure plate. This whine tells you that clutch replacement is in your future, since it is labor-intensive to access and replace the bearing and, if the bearing is shot, it makes sense to replace the clutch disc and pressure plate at the same time.
Clutch adjustment is surprisingly simple. A threaded rod with lock nuts is part of the clutch linkage, and the idea is to adjust the linkage to assure that the bearing is withdrawn slightly from the levers of the pressure plate when the pedal is disengaged. Easy rule of thumb—adjust the linkage so you have about an inch of free play at the top of the pedal travel, and so that the clutch starts to engage when the pedal is about a third of the way up from the floor.

A judge in New Orleans will be asked to decide this week whether the second version of a BP claims process is functioning more smoothly than its predecessor.
"This is a big, big week for the entire Gulf Coast region," said Patrick Juneau, the administrator of the Deepwater Horizon Claims Center. "This is where the rubber meets the road."
Juneau took the reins June 4 of what was then known as the Gulf Coast Claims Facility.
With a class-action settlement in hand and the blessing of U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, Juneau began reforming a heavily criticized method of distributing BP funds to the victims of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
On Thursday at what is being called a "fairness hearing" Juneau will lay out what his team has accomplished since June.
"As the appointed administrator, my role is to give facts to the court," he said.
The judge will rule "to approve or not approve the overall fairness of the settlement program," Juneau said.
While the fairness of the program will be debated, Juneau is convinced the Barbier will find his facts impressive.
To date, he said the Deepwater Horizon Claims Center has paid out $404 million to settle claims filed with the Gulf Coast Claims Facility headed until May by Kenneth Feinberg.
Since June 4, Juneau said, his Claims Center has processed 77,815 new claims. As of Monday, 12,392 claims had been declared eligible for payment and more than $93.25 million, "almost a billion dollars," has been approved for dispersal.
"If you add that sum to the $404 million in previous claims, we've actually approved $1.3 to $1.4 billion dollars since June 4," Juneau said. "We have met and exceeded the goals we've set and, on our payment schedule, we're on a record pace for such a massive operation as this in claims paid."
Juneau said the number of claims being filed continues to rise, and he expects it to do so for some time.
BP representatives and the "collective plaintiffs" who settled with the oil company following the spill will attend the hearing, Juneau said.
Nick Gagliano, a spokesman for the Claims Center, said Barbier also will "hear any argument" about the fairness of the claims' process from members of the public.
Gagliano said the hearing will be held in open court, but those who intend to speak would have had to sign up by the end of October.
Juneau said the comments he's heard so far about his claims' process have been overwhelmingly positive.
Barbier also will have to consider the roughly 22,000 people who have opted out of the Claims Center claims process. However, Juneau pointed out that 10,700 of those opt-outs were filed by a single Texas lawyer.
He said when the opt-out numbers are firmed up, the percentage of claimants who have chosen to do so will be relatively small.
Steve Riggs with the accounting firm of Carr Riggs & Ingram said his firm, which likely has handled more BP claims than any other in the country, hasn't fielded a single complaint about a settlement figure.
"We've found the numbers to be very fair," he said. "Those who don't think it's fair are few and far between."
Carr Riggs & Ingram won't even send a representative to New Orleans, Riggs said, because "we believe Judge Barbier will do the right thing and move the claims process forward."
He foresees the process as the device for getting claim money into the hands of a lot of people along the Gulf Coast. And that could bode well for the immediate future of the region, he said.
"It's going to be a massive shot in the arm," Riggs said. "In the next year and a half we're going to see something bigger than anything we've ever seen."

Probiotics ... ever heard of them?
By Tom, Pure Matters
When I started taking personal training sessions, the first thing my trainer asked me during our discussion about diet was if I was taking probiotics. Up to that point, my only real experience with that word was reading it on the label of my yogurt and shrugging it off as another unknown nutrient claim. But when he explained to me the potential benefits of what a probiotic, or "healthy bacteria" supplement, could possibly do -- increase regularity of bowel movements, improve digestive health, and benefit overall immunity -- I wondered why it wasn't something in my regular rotation of vitamins already. Surely something with such great health benefits would be known, right?
Well, that's where the trend is going: The Wall Street Journal recently reported that "U.S. sales of probiotic supplements totaled nearly $770 million last year, up some 22 percent from the previous year, according to Euromonitor International, a market research firm." The growing trend, as seen in that 22 percent market growth, goes to show that probiotics are becoming a more popular supplement to people's vitamin arsenals.
Increased sales are also attracting more and more attention from the medical world as well. Scientists and researchers have begun to test more rigorously and with higher standards the benefits and potential downsides certain probiotic bacterias may offer. As WSJ reports, "Researchers this month presented evidence at a meeting of the American Heart Association showing that two daily doses of a probiotic lowered bad cholesterol by nearly 12 percent and reduced total and saturated cholesterol esters which contribute to the hardening of arteries" and in another study found that "a combination of two probiotics may reduce the symptoms and recovery time for the common cold." Add those to the growing list of uses for probiotics and we may be looking at a wonder supplement.
Whether you're a vegetarian, gluten-free, meat lover, or just plain bad eater, digestive health is a major aspect of overall health that shouldn't be overlooked -- and it often is. As my doctor recently put it, "Everything you eat and drink passes through your digestive system, so it only makes sense to ensure it's in absolute good health." At Pure Matters, we've even spent some time talking about bowel health in Tracey's "The Bowel Battle" and Koren's recently published guide on beating "Post-Thanksgiving Bloat." Read up on all of the ways you can maintain a healthy digestive system and talk to your doctor about adding a probiotic to your supplement use each day. While scientists, doctors, and researchers continue to test all strands of probiotics, early reports are a good sign of what's to come.

To speak with Dr. Lygia Nabors, even the most faint-hearted will feel confident in the hands of this dentist.
Nabors' work with the Walton County Health Department gave her experience in pediatric dentistry, although her training focused on adults. Her approach is in favor of the patient.
"That was a huge part of my training: preventative dentistry and minimally invasive dentistry," Nabors said. She added that she won't drill if it can be avoided.
The May opening of her practice brings full circle to a family tradition. This is the same office once occupied by Nabors' father-in-law, Dr. Jim Nabors.
"My father-in-law came from a great tradition of great dentistry," Nabors added.
Through Nabors Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, Nabors offers the latest technologies and advances for the entire family.
"The biggest thing about our practice is we're big on preventive dentistry, Nabors said, "especially at a very young age."
Older patients also benefit from Nabors' knowledge, which approaches how medications and health conditions affect oral health.
Her practice is a provider for both Delta Dental and Guardian insurance companies, and Nabors is fluent in both Spanish and Portuguese.
LOCATION: 362 NW Beal Parkway, south of Mary Esther Cut Off

Ron Paul, Crazy Person
Last night, Ron Paul was on The Daily Show, and under the gentlest of questioning from Jon Stewart, he said some truly insane things. After alleging that people who don't support him "don't understand what freedom is all about," Paul made his usual case that government is bad because it makes decisions for everyone, whereas "when you make a bad decision, it only hurts you."
Stewart tried to bring up cases in which private actors harm people, like industrial pollution, but each time Paul protested that no, no, that wasn't actually the market, that was corporations acting "in collusion with the government." His argument seemed to be that corporations are only capable of harming people when they're corrupted by government's influence. When Stewart asked whether the fact that government regulations can sometimes be ineffective means there should be no regulation at all, Paul made this truly amazing statement:
"The regulations are much tougher in a free market, because you cannot commit fraud, you cannot steal, you cannot hurt people, and the failure has come that government wouldn't enforce this. In the Industrial Revolution there was a collusion and you could pollute and they got away with it. But in a true free market in a libertarian society you can't do that. You have to be responsible. So the regulations would be tougher."
I trust I don't have to bother explaining just how nuts this is, but here's my question: Does Ron Paul really believe this? Does he really think that if there were no government, then no one would ever steal, cheat, or hurt anyone, just because they'd understand that the market would eventually make such behavior unprofitable? Is he really that stupid?
I guess he is. Paul is generally treated like the eccentric but cute uncle in the presidential race, and liberals favorably inclined toward Paul's views on defense and foreign policy are less likely to criticize him than they are some other Republican candidates. But we don't say often enough that his views about economics are every bit as bizarre and extreme as Michele Bachmann's views on the Rapture or Rick Perry's views on Social Security.

The old man might be a little different lol, but he is waaay better than the other candidates, when you consider the opionion of majority of American People. That last sentence I could've have worded a bit better, but I'm drunk. I can't remember where the apostrophe goes on People's'.

By that logic we should allow the mentally insane to roam free from their asylums. The purpose of a government is to solve social problems, depending on your definition of social. Also, since when is government always violent? There are plenty of policies that are not violent in any way. Finally, coerion is not always bad, for example, the law against murder and rape is coercive.

You never really know if things work until you try them. I mean, logically speaking, has having so much government regulation in our lives ever turned out to be a good thing? Who runs around praising the government for it's 'heroic acts' to protect our freedoms? Anyone? ......anyone?
Wed, 2012-04-11 23:50
Let me name a few, the FDA stopping countless harmful drugs from being sold, legally at least. The EPA helping to save the environment and stop massive pollution so we don't end up like some Chinese cities when smog is think in the air and life expectancy plummets. Those are just two but there are plenty of other examples. The reason why no one praises the government for protecting freedoms is because that is its duty, in the same way you would not praise a worker for simply doing what they are required, you would not praise the government. Also, the government itself is not alive, so it seems odd to praise it.
Fri, 2012-04-13 04:36
the FDA? seriously? google FDA Corruption. the EPA? really? there are numerous carcinogenic chemicals that used to be banned that the FDA has recently unbanned for use in the USA. I challenge you to do a little, just a wee bit of digging into whether or not those two agencies are not ripe with corruption.
the government is a system (made up of living organisms) which has been infected with a stubborn virus called Multinational Corporate Interests.. Former presidents, Kennedy for one, warned what would happen when international banks gained control of our nations economy, or when the military complex gained so much power. this corrosive system doesn't work alone and is not working FOR the democracy of America and the freedom of it's citizens - take NDAA and the Patriot Act as examples. That is why people who pay attention to what's unfolding in this country (and who widen their focus/perception), despite the distractions of corporate media propaganda, do not praise the government for protecting their freedoms.

There are those who condemn noninterventionists for being insufficiently ambitious, for their unwillingness to embrace "national greatness"These critics should have the honesty to condemn the Founding Fathers for the same defect. They wouldn't dare.

Have you ever wondered why you think the way you do? How is it that you can arrive at a similar place after being exposed to a set of ideas, with a total stranger? We have to accept that some of us absorb information in similar ways but we have to acknowledge that there are others who will never understand, or appreciate, or get what we feel.

Ron Paul has a reputation of being very savvy about economics. He is saying that we are trillions of dollars in debt and that our government has been printing paper money with no value to back it up (at one time in history we were on the "gold standard") As is common knowledge-- we owe China big time. If they ever call in that debt we will certainly be in trouble. In my opinion-- this policy of our government is certainly a formula for disaster.
I do not think Ron Paul is crazy-- I just do not know how to help to prevent this catastrophe.

Official: SRT Vipers will race at Le Mans
Two GTS-Rs will battle it out at 24-hour race in June, returning Viper name to Le Mans…
Posted: 04 Feb 2013
Jeremy and James may not have been enamoured with it on last night's rather excellent show, but we're pretty sure some Americans - and indeed Richard - will be pleased to learn that the new Viper is headed to Le Mans.
That's right: the racing version of the brand-spanking new SRT Viper, the GTS-R, will contest the LM GTE Pro class at this year's gruelling 24-hour race at La Sarthe.
For anyone fond of racing Vipers, this, then, is Good News. Specifically because the original, 1996 Viper GTS-R earned five international GT championships, won the '97, '98 and '99 FIA GT championship and had three consecutive one-two finishes at Le Mans in the GTS class. Pedigree, people.
SRT chief Ralph Gilles knows this, and wants a return of the Viper name to the racetrack. "Racing is truly a part of the illustrious history of Viper. Historically the GTS-R has enjoyed great success at Le Mans, so we couldn't be more excited and proud to accept the challenge to return to France."
Two Viper GTS-Rs will race this year, and interestingly, the Viper gets special dispensation. Normal Le Mans rules caps GT petrol engine size at 5.5-litres, but SRT got permission to run an 8.0-litre version of its V10, though restricted by a special intake. It does, as the SRT team concede, "take a big chunk out of Viper's power curve", but they reckon it'll still be quick.
It runs 455bhp, a 182mph top speed, a paddle shift gearbox, huge 380mm Brembo discs up front and 330mm discs at the back, 18in forged magnesium wheels, Michelin slicks, and weighs in at just 1,292kg (2850lbs).
Will this GTS-R Viper give the racing Corvettes sleepless nights? Maybe. After all, we heard this racing Viper undergoing a shakedown at Virginia Raceway last year. And it sounded rather tasty...

BONIFAY — Holmes County Board of County Commissioners agreed to review a Road Name Change Policy presented by County Attorney Jeff Goodman during their meeting on Dec. 10.
"The board of county commissioners shouldn't be in the business of hearing out why someone thinks their road name needs to be changed and how they're justified over another," said Goodman. "We need a policy so that people know the requirements needed for a road name to be changed."
Some of the requirements included a list of property owners adjacent and on the road, a petition signed by at least 80 percent of property owners adjacent to and on the road, approval from 911 Coordinator to insure 911 compliance, a $500 fee for internal review and advertising, submission of an overview of the road so that the entire road is renamed, followed by two public hearings before it can be approved of by the Board, followed up by an effective date.
"I piecemealed it together based on the needs of Holmes County," said Goodman. "Here's a draft to be put on the agenda for the first meeting in January and there will be an application drawn up for review. We just need to remain as consistent as possible."
The first hearing was held for an application for a zoning change from residential to commercial to a piece of property on the corner of County Road 81 and Sandy Creek Road located just north of Ponce de Leon, which was approved of and recommended to the Board of County Commissioners by the Holmes County Planning and Zoning Commission on Dec. 3.
"I'm wanting to build a convenient store and gas station," said landowner Paul Fuzell. "Almost everyone from that area believes that it will be service and help to the community."
Resident Lisa Shirley was present to say that her concerns were that if it doesn't become a convenient store that it could potentially become a bar.
"What if he can not put a store there and it sells as commercial property?" asked Shirley. "What's to stop someone from building a bar there?"
Resident Johnny Brown said that he shared the same uneasiness.
"We aren't interested in a commercial entity that has the potential to become an establishment that can sell alcoholic beverages," said Brown.
David Saunders came before the Board to ask that Saunders' Landfill's franchise be pulled.
"My wife is no longer running the business as she should, in fact she's running it into the ground," said Saunders. "She is pulling trailers of garbage that are open and without taillights. We'll honor everyone who paid and eat those expenses."
Goodman said there wasn't anything the Board could do at that time because her name is on the company's franchise agreement.
"We don't have the right to terminate it," said Goodman. "We'll request that she join the next meeting so that she can explain why the franchise license shouldn't be pulled."
Commissioner Kenneth Williams said he was concerned for those paying costumers that are being affected by this.
"This is what we discussed when we agreed to the multi-franchise agreement," said Goodman. "We'll hold a special session and give her the chance to show up but whither she does or not we're going to do this the right way."
Rick Davis, Administrator for the Washington County Health Department and Interim Administrator for the Holmes County Health Department came before the Board to announce his retirement and to let them know that the Department of Health is intending on combining the two counties' position as one.
Board put it in the form of a motion to show that they approve of the decision for the two counties share one Health Department Administrator and approved.
"I don't have any problem with it due to the level of service and dedication you've provided throughout the years," said Williams.
Board approved of Commissioner Bobby Sasnett to represent the Board on the Tri-County Community Council Board.
Kim Teagarden, a representative from Verizon Wireless, came before the Board to say that Holmes County was approved for free cell phones, wall chargers and car chargers for all emergency responders.
"It will only be five cents per minute for all devices with a regular fee of 22 cents a day, which is about $4.40 a mouth and a little over $50 per year," said Teagarden. "We've already been in contact and have supplied phones for the Holmes County Sheriff's Office and the Holmes County School Board."
Williams said that he would look over it, however he would decline.
"Verizon has the best coverage in Holmes County, but it isn't all that good even for being the best," said Williams. "Especially in an emergency it wouldn't get service in a lot of the areas of Holmes County. There are just too many 'dead' zones."
Board approved of a Temporary Clerical Position to help with paperwork filed with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for emergency funding to repair damaged caused by excessive rains earlier in the year.
Mike Reistad, representative with the West Florida Regional Planning Commission, came before the Board to explain the Environmental Protection Agency Brownfield Program.
"Brownfields are defined as 'real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant,'" said Reistad. "Cleaning up and reinvesting in these properties protects the environment, reduces blight, and takes development pressures off green-spaces and working lands. What I propose is that the county submit a response, which we'll draft, for a community assessment grant which will be followed by a clean up grant and a revolving loan fund."
Goodman asked that if the assessment grant went through, would it be guaranteed that the county would receive a clean-up grant and Reistad said there wasn't.
"Let's say this guy has a site and it's not common knowledge and then an assessment is done and there's something wrong," said Williams. "Red-flags are brought up all over his property but then it's too much to fix it and now he's black-balled as a contaminated site."
Goodman explained that the program was a good idea, however to rural areas it isn't practical.
"The problem is money," said Goodman. "There's no guaranteed money for the reclamation. They're just using their money so these places can stay on their radar but it doesn't help illuminate the problem; it's a good program, but it just doesn't help rural areas."
Board agreed to Williams' proposal that a ordinance be written to insure space on local towers for county use.
Board approved of County Engineer Whitney Nelson to contact the Department of Transportation about doing an assessment of Sutter Creek Bridge.
"It's retained some damage and it is on the list of emergency items, however the government is moving very slow and this is steadily becoming a matter of public safety," said Nelson.
Board agreed to Commissioner Bill Parish and David Whitaker taking the place of Merchant and Williams on the 2014 Canvassing Board.
"Normally it would be done by the chair and vice chair, however, this year both of their seats are up for re-election," explained Goodman.
There are two special called meetings planned for a latter time, which is to be announced and the regularly scheduled meeting is set for 9 a.m. on Jan. 14.

Ghost hunters find activity, noises in haunted innBy Erin Mansfield
CORRESPONDENT | June 16,2014
South Glens Falls Paranormal Society Co-Founder Steve Brodt explains how different pieces of equipment are used during this past weekend's investigation at the Silas Griffith Inn in Danby.DANBY — The South Glens Falls Paranormal Society led more than 15 people through a two-night ghost hunt at the Silas Griffith Inn and uncovered what they considered to be hauntings in the upstairs bedrooms of the inn's 19th-century carriage house.
Starting after dark on Friday the 13th under the full moon, three representatives for the organization taught a half-dozen attendees from as far away as Deer Park, N.Y., to read electromagnetic sensors and sub-audio recordings before heading upstairs to try to talk to Silas Griffith.
Danby town legend says Griffith was a millionaire lumber baron who built the estate as a wedding gift for his wife in 1891, but was rumored to have had many extramarital affairs and may have fathered children with the women he courted.
When the society, which also conducts investigations in abandoned prisons and psychiatric hospitals across the country, heard that the Silas Griffith Inn's guests made many reports of paranormal activity, they reserved a weekend in the inn's carriage house and brought cases full of equipment to help them investigate.
Much of their equipment was either low-budget or homemade, including more than 10 store-bought recording devices, three mini-Maglite flashlights and an infrared digital camera.
"You don't have to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars," society co-founder Steve Brodt explained to attendees Friday night.
Brodt, 21, of South Glens Falls, N.Y., has been hunting ghosts for five years.
"How did you make that?" one of the participants asked him about a device that detected footsteps.
"Internet," Brodt said.
"Some spirits, I think, don't realize that they're dead," said member Mark Pronto, 54, of South Glens Falls.
Pronto taught the audience the difference between interacting with what they called intelligent and residual hauntings. A residual haunting, the group said, is leftover energy from years past. An intelligent haunting, they said, interacts with you.
The group finally went upstairs to the third floor of the inn and set up flashlights on different surfaces that spirits could turn on to communicate with the ghost hunters using yes-or-no answers.
Attendee Tara Ihasz, 41, of Deer Park, N.Y., focused on temperature changes going up and down in each room. If you feel a cold breeze pass by you, the ghost hunters said, there could be a residual spirit walking by.
"Are you up here Silas?" Pronto asked. Hearing no responses, he started playfully taunting the suspected spirit and asked if the rumors were true that he had been with 80 different women. The light turned on when someone asked if the number was closer to 50.
While investigating the room next door, two flashlights lit up with a spirit they suspected was named Joe. Downstairs, a red flashlight lit up when the group asked if there were two little girls living there. After returning to the first upstairs room, the group saw three different flashlights turn on around the room in response to different questions.
During the wee hours of the night, Brodt and his teammate Colin Jones, 20, of South Glens Falls, listened to the audio and searched for electronic voice phenomena, or EVPs. They encountered what they thought was a whistle, a man saying a sentence and a little girl giggling.
"Paranormal activity is something that can't be explained by average logic," Brodt said. "We go into each case as skeptics."
"It was an active night, but with EVPs it was about average," Jones said.
"It takes a lot to impress me with a flashlight, and last night was pretty impressive," said Brodt.
"Me too," Jones said.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change. Full StoryMayor Louras wants the city to have a better idea on what to pay its department heads.

WSOF 7 – 94,000 Viewers
The originally scheduled main event of Pyle vs Johnson would have helped these ratings. But even without that fight, these ratings are weak and continue a downward trend over the past 3 events.December 10, 2013
MMA Payout has learned through Nielsen sources that World Series of Fighting's event on Saturday night received a meager 94,000 viewers. WSOF 7 from Vancouver, BC in Canada competed with a heavy night of college football, boxing and Invicta FC.
WSOF 1 – 198,000 viewers
WSOF 2 – 210,000 viewers
WSOF 3 – 201,000 viewers
WSOF 4 – 264,000 viewers
WSOF 5 – 227,000 viewers
WSOF 6 – 161,000 viewers
WSOF 7 – 94,000 viewers
The 94,000 viewer average is a substantial drop off from its other events. Even WSOF 6, which aired on the same night as the Mayweather-Alvarez fight, garnered 161,000 viewers.
Payout Perspective:
A tough night for WSOF as it competed with championship weekend in College Football, dueling boxing events on HBO and Showtime and an Invicta FC "PPV." While the event included the amazing Nick Newell, there were no other compelling fights on the card despite crowning a new Featherweight Champion. Was it poor planning that WSOF scheduled its event on the same night as other events or is it a case that the organization has to get dates for events where it can be fit in?
As the WSOF heads into 2014, it will have an opportunity to be on NBC twice. Hopefully, it can sufficiently build interest in its product before both events on the network. Also, let's hope for WSOF's sake that the dates do not coincide with other major sporting events.

FORT WALTON BEACH—Okaloosa County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to sue Vision Airlines to recoup more than $146,000 in unpaid fees.
The board authorized Airports Director Greg Donovan to work with county attorneys to take Vision to court if it doesn't pay its debt by Dec. 31.
"I still do not know the specifics of why they aren't paying this bill," said Donovan, who added that communication with Vision has been inconsistent. "We're given promises of payment. Communication starts … and then it breaks off."
Vision Airlines, which began offering flights at Northwest Florida Regional Airport in December 2010, suspended its service locally last February.
The discount carrier owes the county $146,973, most of which are unpaid passenger facility charges. The rest is unpaid utility, rent and fuel expenses.
Vision owes similar debts in other cities it served, including Louisville, Ky., Gulfport, Miss., Little Rock, Ark., and Baton Rouge, La.
"We are not alone in this discrepancy," Donovan told commissioners.
A $4.50 passenger facility charge is collected by each airline for every paying passenger flying out of Northwest Florida Regional. The airlines keep 11 cents from each charge and are supposed to pay the remaining $4.39 to the airport within 30 days after the end of the month it is collected.
Commissioner Dave Parisot said Vision Airlines is contractually obligated to pay the funds to the county, and its failure to do so "could be construed as larceny."
He said Vision Airlines has "absolutely no reason" not to have repaid the charges by now.
Donovan said he was disappointed that the county had to consider legal action against the carrier, but noted that the unpaid fees are critical to the airport's operation.
"It's money that is generated at and due to the airport," said Donovan, who added that the passenger facility charges pay for capital improvements.
Donovan told commissioners that although Vision still owes the county money, the company's impact on the community "was very positive economically."
He said the competition Vision generated when it expanded to Northwest Florida "couldn't have come at a better time" and brought much-needed business in the months following the BP oil spill.
"What Vision Airlines did for our community was very tangible," Donovan added. "But it doesn't relieve them" from their obligation to pay the county the money it's owed.
Donovan told commissioners it's important to remember the value of attracting low-cost carriers that are willing to take a risk.
"It's not something that should be negative," he said.
Donovan said the airport did not lose money in 2011 or 2012, and that the community "greatly benefited from having that (Vision Airlines) activity here."

The Shelter Island Yacht Basin is under orders by regulators to reduce copper in its water to a level about 300 times lower than is permitted in drinking water.
The contrast has some critics questioning whether the rule, which is causing boat owners to repaint their hulls with copper-free coatings, is another example of environmental rules going too far.
"If I filled my pool with drinking water, my kids would have a much higher concentration in my pool than if they were swimming in the bay," said Port Commissioner Dan Malcolm. "It seems a little odd to me. It doesn't seem logical."
Scientists and water regulators say, however, that the disparity between marine rules and drinking water standards reflects the complexities of copper's reaction in different water conditions, and in different species.
The lower copper levels are needed to protect shellfish, they say. To those organisms, the common metal is poison, lethal at amounts that are trifling to humans, they say.
"The lower on the food chain, the more damage you'll have," said Jeremy Haas, environmental program manager for the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board, which imposed the rule. "They are more sensitive to those metals (than people are)."
Protected spots such as Shelter Island have low water flow and high copper buildup, while variations in local water chemistry can affect the metal's toxicity to sea life.
Water quality rules consider all those factors, said David King, a San Diego attorney who served on the water board from 2006 to 2010.
"Does it sound silly that you've got a lower level of copper in the bay than drinking water?" King said. "Sure, but not when you consider what we're trying to do is keep the bay from being a toxic environment to marine life."
With a recent $600,000 grant from the State Water Resources Control Board, the San Diego Port Authority aims to nudge Shelter Island boat owners to convert from copper-based paint, used to retard barnacle growth, to newer alternatives. The port also converted its own fleet to copper-free paint last year.
Some boaters say the copper rule goes overboard, arguing that the replacement paints are costly and hard to maintain.
"It's just very expensive, it's not diver-friendly and it's not boatyard-friendly," said Bill Roberts, owner of Shelter Island Boatyard, which handles some of the repainting jobs.
The Shelter Island basin, tucked in the northwest end of the bay, is one of eight marinas in the bay listed as impaired under the Clean Water Act because of elevated copper levels, according to the Port Authority. It's the only one, however, under orders to reduce the concentration of copper in its waters.
In 2011, the port measured copper off Shelter Island at 8.3 parts per billion — more than twice the target level of 3.1 parts per billion.
By contrast, the water board limits drinking water to 1,000 parts per billion of copper, a level that protects its taste, odor and color. It would take more than that to sicken a person, officials said.

Emerald Koopa
(Revision History)
GAMES: DKJ, DK94, MvDK, MvDK2.
TYPE: Mammal.
TURF: Jungles.
AFFILIATIONS: None.
CLOSE RELATIVES: None.
SKILLS AND ATTACKS: Many.
STRENGTHS: He's bigger, faster, and stronger too. He's the first member of the DK crew. (couldn't resist that)
WEAKNESSES: He's hurt easily.
Taking into account Cranky Kong's history, Donkey Kong was originally Donkey Kong Jr. He first appeared to rescue his father from Mario, who had locked him away for kidnapping Pauline, an act Donkey Kong would eventually commit himself.
Despite this, DK is very kind-hearted, and is always ready to defend his friends from his own arch-nemesis: the Kremling King K.Rool. He even has a girlfriend!
EVOLUTION: He hasn't chaged much over the years aside from the timeskip between his childhood and adulthood.
Games: Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 March of the Minis
Offence: 1
Defence: 0
Speed: high
Attack Pattern: He appears randomly for the most part, and attacks with projectiles such as fireballs and coconuts.
Basic Strategies: Study the layout of the stage and determine the best way to attack. Donkey Kong will not let up, even if you've just started, so hammer him as soon as possible.
Advanced Strategies: Some stages Donkey Kong is on a spiked platform, so you'll need to bounce mini-marios of the walls. In the final boss fight and secret boss fights, you need to send mini-marios up ladders to activate some mechanism to hit Donkey. Make sure to use it only before it dissapears.

Project management is rapidly becoming a standard way of doing business, whether it be constructing buildings, providing emergency aid services or launching a new product. Organisations have recognised that the powerful set of tools that this result-oriented management style offers have the ability to improve their ability to plan, implement and manage activities, to successfully compete in the global markets. Conversely, competing in global markets influenced by change, innovations and time to market, require organisations to manage multiple projects. To be able to select and manage projects that contribute positively to the strategic direction, an integrative approach is needed. This unit aims to provide students with an insight into project management in organisations. It provides students with an opportunity to gain knowledge in specific tools and techniques of project management; and analyse the process of integrating projects into organisations so as to contribute positively to strategic directions. It also examines some of the current issues in project management and career paths.
