White states in the The New York Times about why he made the decision to change Carlos Webb's grade. White said "In trying to make a decision, there are two guiding principles: One is the university's word. When we tell a student this is what he needs to do, we need to stand by that. The Second thing is, I'm very concerned with student rights. They are our customers. They are our clients. We don't exist for ourselves. We exist for them. They deserve to be treated fairly." Webb was incorrectly advised that if he took the course again and passed it his F would be replaced. For nearly to two weeks students picketed on the corner of College Avenue and Main Street with signs calling for the president's resignation and questioning his integrity. Students were seen with copies of the Honor Code in their black frames taken from classrooms and the glass front busted and black tape over the poster. The scandal tore the Gardner-Webb community apart. In early October 2002, Dr. Christopher White resigned as Gardner-Webb University's president and the grade remained on the student athlete's transcript. Gardner-Webb was put on NCAA probation for a five year period that ended in early 2007. Scandal The Gardner-Webb community was rocked by scandal in the fall of 2002 when ordained minister and Gardner-Webb president of 16 years, Dr. Christopher White, admitted to writing a memo two years before ordering a star basketball player's grade-point average to be calculated without the "F" he received for cheating in his religion class; thereby allowing the athlete to play. Without the change, Carlos Webb would have been ineligible in 2000-01, the season Gardner-Webb won the National Christian College Athletic Association championship. Carlos Webb was also named most valuable player that day. Two years later Gardner-Webb became NCAA Division I school. Under the University's Honor Code, a "cheating F" can never be removed from a student's transcript because it is a direct violation of the Gardner-Webb Honor Code. By removing the "F," president White destroyed the power of the honor code and the integrity of Gardner-Webb University. After eight days of students protesting. The school's trustees affirmed Christopher White's presidency after a 10-hour meeting on September 27, 2002 though they demoted a pair of administrators, one the vice president of academic affairs and the other his assistant, who had criticized White's actions. Initially 3 faculty members also resigned as a result of the scandal. In the end, eight faculty members and administrators (later called "The Group of 8") suffered professional hardship due to demotion, resignation, or firing. Out of the group of eight which led the faculty revolt against White included Blackburn, Williams, and Price. Opponents said White's action and the trustees' failure to punish him violates the spirit of Gardner-Webb's honor code. While the president's backers, including the chairman of the board of trustees, said they were convinced White did not violate the letter of any school rules and that he acted in a spirit of fairness toward Carlos Webb, who had been incorrectly advised he could get the "F" removed from his GPA by retaking the class. Trustees chairman Thomas Hardin said his board concluded that, while White's action was wrong, the president should not have been removed for a mistake made two years before. He said the demoted administrators were punished not for speaking out, but Athletics Gardner-Webb offers seventeen varsity sports at the NCAA Division I level. In football, the Runnin' Bulldogs compete in the football championship subdivision (FCS). The 2008-2009 academic year will see the Runnin' Bulldogs transition to the Big South Conference for all sports. The football team joined the Big South as an associate member in 2002.

The women also placed third at the conference championships. Before joining the CCSA conference the women's team was a part of the NEC. As of 2007, the women's team was four time NEC conference champions. [8]. In addition to winning conference titles, both the men and women's swim teams are academic all-stars. The men and women's team combined grade point average for the fall of 2008 gave them the highest GPA of the NCAA Division I schools that sponsor swimming programs. The teams combined GPA was a 3.475. The men's team alone ranked first nationally with a 3.3 GPA, beating Georgetown University by 0.01. The women's team ranked second, just barely missing first by 0.02 to Marshall University.

He has been coaching for a little over a few years here at Gardner-Webb but is also an alumni and alumni cheerleader of Gardner-Webb University. When Coach Drew first cheered here, chairs were the stunts to do. Now, toss ball up cupie, and heel stretch full down and many more have become standard. The history of the cheerleading program has changed so much in the past 11 years. It went from not being competitive at all, to being one of the forefront teams in college cheerleading. The past 11 years they have been competiting with NCA. They started in Division II and now have changed to Small Co-ed(4 guys or less). That means they compete against any Division I, II, or III teams. Our school officially became a Division IAA in 2002. In their first appearance in the Small Coed Division they placed 5th in the Nation and 1st in the Southeast. The team is fortunate to have a lot of returns to place hopefully even higher this year. The talent here has continued to get stronger and stronger. We are building a tradition of having great cheerleading.

The athletics facilities for weight lifting and strength training are used on a daily basis to maximize athletes performance and to prevent injuries. The Gardner-Webb strength staff currently trains approximately 400 student-athletes. Teams are required to attend mandatory lifts and speed training while participating in a sport. The weight-training facilities are located in the GWU Football Center next to Spangler Stadium (Campus map). "In order to keep the athlete from adapting to the same training stimulus, causing a plateau effect, the program is changed every 4-6 weeks" 9 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Bulldog Strength). The importance of strength training to [prevent injuries]is also a major part for a strength training staff. This includes instructing athletes on how to properly perform correct lifting techniques, prevention methods: such as stretching, warming up correctly and altering programs for athletes who are recovering from an injury to ensure proper rehabilitation and a speedy recovery.

1997 Chevrolet Tahoe Q&A
1997 Chevrolet Tahoe Question: wont start
why do i have to spray my truck with starter fluid to get it to start.new fuel pump and it stays running after that.only if i let it sit for a couple of hours will i have to spray it again though - toddone1
Answer 1
Checking fuel pressure with the correct type of fuel pressure gauge would be the first step in determining what is causing the no start condition on your 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe. The fuel injection system used in the 5.7L (I am assuming) engine needs the correct "surge" of fuel pressure when cranking the engine. Fuel pressure should be 60-66 for the Central SFI and 56-62 for the standard SFI engine, fuel pressure should hold steady after the fuel pump turns off. Fuel pressure should also spike to those values with the engine running and the throttle "snapped" open. The VIN code (8th digit) for the Central SFI engine is "R", Please make sure which injection system you have, as you can see it make a difference in the fuel pressure specs. If any of the above tests fails the fuel pump and circuit should be thoroughly inspected. - Oakman

Press release from CNW Group
Newfoundland Capital Corporation Limited - Second Quarter 2013 - Period Ended June 30 (unaudited)
Thursday, August 08, 2013
Newfoundland Capital Corporation Limited - Second Quarter 2013 - Period Ended June 30 (unaudited)17:01 EDT Thursday, August 08, 2013
DARTMOUTH, NS, Aug. 8, 2013 /CNW/ - Newfoundland Capital Corporation Limited ("Company") today announces its financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2013.
- Revenue for the second quarter of $35.8 million was $1.5 million or 4% higher than last year. Year-to-date revenue of $64.9 million was $3.1 million or 5% higher than 2012. The growth was primarily due to organic increases.
- Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA" (1) ) of $10.3 million in the quarter were $1.1 million or 12% higher than last year and year-to-date EBITDA of $15.5 million was $1.6 million or 11% higher than 2012. The increase in EBITDA was due to higher revenue and because last year's operating expenses included non-cash amounts of $0.8 million in the quarter and $1.1 million year-to-date related to the extension of executive stock option expiry dates. Normalizing EBITDA to exclude these amounts from 2012, EBITDA was 4% higher than the second quarter last year and the year-to-date EBITDA was 3% higher than 2012.
- Profit for the period of $6.0 million was $2.2 million or 59% higher than the same quarter last year. Year-to-date profit of $8.1 million was $3.5 million or 78% higher than the same period in 2012. The combination of lower interest expense and lower unrealized mark-to-market losses contributed to increased profit compared to last year.
- The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.06 per share on each of the Company's Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class B Common Shares on August 8, 2013, payable on September 13, 2013 to all shareholders of record as at August 30, 2013.
Significant events
- During the second quarter, the Company launched its new FM stations in Miramichi and Fredericton, New Brunswick. Both 95.9 Sun FM in Miramichi and Up! 93.1 in Fredericton have been well received by the communities.
- In the second quarter, the Company repurchased a total of 464,390 shares for $4.3 million pursuant to its Normal Course Issuer Bid. Subsequent to quarter end, 219,500 shares were repurchased for $1.9 million.
- The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC") recently awarded the Company a new FM licence in Clarenville, Newfoundland and Labrador as well as a new repeater licence in Wabasca, Alberta.
- Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire CHNI-FM in Saint John, New Brunswick. In July, the Company also announced it had entered into an agreement to sell CHFT-FM in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Both transactions are subject to CRTC approval.
"Revenue and EBITDA continue to show positive growth despite flat industry growth", commented Rob Steele, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We're very pleased with our organic results and also very pleased that we are expanding our operations. We have successfully launched our radio stations in Miramichi and Fredericton, New Brunswick and look forward to seeking out other opportunities to grow."

(1) Non-IFRS Accounting Measure
EBITDA is a measure that is not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards and is not standardized for public issuers. This measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other public enterprises. The Company believes this is an important measure because the Company's key decision makers use this measure internally to evaluate the performance of management. The Company's key decision makers also believe certain investors use it as a measure of the Company's financial performance and for valuation purposes. A calculation of this measure is included in the Company's Second Quarter Report.

But by night, some say, the mores of a male-controlled culture dominate.
Old English mara "greater, more, stronger, mightier," used as a comparative of micel "great" (see mickle), from Proto-Germanic *maizon- (cf. Old Saxon mera, Old Norse meiri, Old Frisian mara, Middle Dutch mere, Old High German mero, German mehr), from PIE *meis- (cf. Avestan mazja "greater," Old Irish mor "great," Welsh mawr "great," Greek -moros "great," Oscan mais "more"), from root *me- "big." Sometimes used as an adverb in Old English ("in addition"), but Old English generally used related ma "more" as adverb and noun. This became Middle English mo, but more in this sense began to predominate in later Middle English.

Funny: Ace Ventura
Pretty much every other minute of any movie (save for Ace Jr.), thanks to Jim Carrey in all his hammy glory. But to name a few examples:
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective:
- The sliding door scene here. "Ahhhh *closes door and opens it* Ahhhh *continues*" I have exorcised the demons! This house is clear. Losers. LOOOO-sers. La-hoo. Seh-hers!"
- Do NOT go in there! WHOO!
- Before that, the scene where Ace expects to find Snowflake in an indoor swimming pool and instead finds a great white shark is both a CMOF and Nightmare Fuel.
- If anybody else bent over, turned around and pantomimed talking out of their ass, most people would strain themselves rolling their eyes. When Jim Carrey does it, spouting out horrible puns all the way? Awesome!
Ace's Butt: "WHATSA MATTER? AFRAID I'LL MAKE A STINK?"
- Ace and Melissa on their way into a very ritzy party:
Melissa: I'm really going out on a limb here, Ventura. Camp's social events are strictly A-list.Ace: "Gee, Chuck. The date started off good, but just before we got to the party, she seemed to tense up!"Melissa: I swear, if you do anything to embarrass me in front of Camp-Ace: What? Like this? (makes faces)
- Randomly during the party, Ace reaches over and screws up a cello player's performance for no reason other than pure whimsy. (Jim Carrey improvised that.)
- Ace's reaction to finding out that Lois Einhorn is actually Ray Finkle. It starts when he's wangsting over his inability to crack the case, when he notices his dog's fur draped over a photo of Ray Finkle like hair. It comes with its own built-in spoiler: Right when the realization begins, the film starts playing the song "The Crying Game", which the scene is an obvious spoof of.
Ace: What the... That's it. That's it. Einhorn is Finkle. Finkle is Einhorn! EINHORN IS A MAN! *beat* Oh my GOD! EINHORN IS A MAN?!
- He then throws up in his toilet, burns his clothes, and sobs in the shower. Next scene, he's chewing a whole pack of gum. Then when he reveals the truth to the others in the climax, they start throwing up. Even Snowflake the dolphin is washing his mouth out.
Ace: That's why Roger Podacter is dead! He found Captain Winkie!
- He then throws up in his toilet, burns his clothes, and sobs in the shower. Next scene, he's chewing a whole pack of gum. Then when he reveals the truth to the others in the climax, they start throwing up. Even Snowflake the dolphin is washing his mouth out.
- "Hi, I'm looking for Ray Finkle—" [shotgun barrels slide through the opening] "—and a clean pair of shorts."
- Shortly afterward: "Dan Marino should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell. Would you like a cookie, son?"
- The whole scene with the heavy metal concert.
- To reiterate, Ace taking over for the frontman at the metal concert and just growling noiselessly while gesturing like he's talking to the crowd... and the band just goes right with it.
- After rescuing the kidnapped dog, Ace tells him, "the (car) engine's flooded. No problem, we'll just wait a few minutes". As the goon begins smashing his car window, without missing a beat, Ace declares, "Or we could try it now!"
- Ace's search for the suspect Championship Ring, specifically the first part. Even though Flipping the Bird is an offensive gesture, wasn't it thoughtful of the football player to keep his up for that long? Either that or Ace has a really good photographic memory.
- When Ace is pretending to be a mental patient football player to sneak into a institution, he tackles the doctor in super slow motion, then reverses it for instant replay, including all of his dialogue.
Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls:
- The Slinky... in all of it's glory.
- The scene with the flight attendant:
Flight attendant: Peanut?
Ace: Yes, I have one right here. It's bulky, but I consider it carry-on.
Flight attendant: Peanut.
Ace: Oh, I see!
- The out-of-place Subway sign on the African highway.
- "Perhaps we should slow down just a teensy-weensy bit?" "Nonsense, poopy pants!"
- "Do I have something in my teeth?"
- Also, the part when Ace makes shadow puppets during the slideshow. Especially when Cadby steps in front of the screen. "Heigh-ho Silver, away!"
- No, the best part is when Ace's hand acts like a dog licking a man's crotch, then spits out the horrible taste. Even Fulton snickers to himself.
- Ace's reaction to the Trophy Room.
Cadby: Something wrong, Mr. Ventura?
Ace: Of course not. This is a lovely room of death. Take care now, bye-bye then.
- Ace drumming the mushrooms.
Ace: We love you, Dark Continent, good night!
- "Excuse me," (In a whispering voice) "Your balls are showing. Bumblebee tuna!"
- The Shikaka.
- Ace practicing his mantra.
- "Spank you, Helpy Helperton!"
- When he thinks he spots a bat in the cave, he throws the medallion: "TAKE THAT, YOU WINGED SPAWN OF SATAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!!!!"
- The "rhinoceros birth" scene in the sequel is side-splittingly funny.
- The duel scenes.
- A failed attempt to sneak into the bad guys' hideout leaves Ace knocked out, and him and his pet monkey Spike are strapped to a raft heading downstream. Ace bites through the Spike's ropes first, then tells it to undo his. Spike starts, but then takes a look at the Inevitable Waterfall and decides to get the hell out of dodge instead. Ace's reaction as he goes over the edge is hilarious.
- "That's what you stepped in, that's what was on your shoe, and that explains the abrasion on your palm! Let me run that back for ya. Mlap ruoy no noisarba eht snialpxe taht dna eohs ruoy no saw tahw s'taht ni deppets uoy tahw s'taht... That's what you stepped in, that's what was on your shoe, and THAT EXPLAINS THE ABRASION! ON! YOUR! PALM! DAMN I'M GOOD! (pelvic thrusts) Can you feel that?! Can you feel it, Captain Compost?!"
- As Ace reluctantly goes to jail, he bites at Hitu.
