Napa Valley College currently offers over 100 online classes. Online education is very different from traditional classroom learning and provides students with a variety of exciting new options for obtaining an education without physically attending regular class meetings on campus. Some of the advantages of online education include:
Online education provides a challenging opportunity to learn. Don't think for a minute that there is any less work in an online class. Most students find that online classes are just as rigorous, if not more so, than traditional classes that meet on campus. All of the instructors teaching online classes at Napa Valley College are committed to providing online students with a high quality learning experience.
Online courses are starting all the time. A "hybrid" course is one that meets both face-to-face in the classroom and online. A hybrid class requires that students attend class on campus. Many online and hybrid courses follow the regular semester schedule while others are "short-term" classes that start 4 or 6 weeks into the semester. Check out the Napa Valley College schedule to find out more about when classes begin. (Students living outside of California within the United States are not eligible to enroll in an online course at Napa Valley College. Students living outside of the United States may enroll as an international student)

Interesting situation. Everyone I know back in Nebraska says she's a super nice girl. Sounds like she's simply a crappy driver. I suppose a lot of girls her age would panic after hitting someone, but obviously it's a hit and run and definitely the wrong reaction.
It'll be interesting to see how John Cook deals with this. Not only will he have to discipline his player, but because it's his daughter it will be watched with extra scrutiny. I'm not sure what the right call is, curious what others think.
A witness told police that Cook appeared to be "in distress due to her facial expression, but there was no attempt to stop."
Police said Cook called at 12:05 p.m. to report that she "just panicked" and left the scene of the crash. When police located her near 14th and Alvo Streets, her front right tire was shredded.
According to court records, Cook has been found guilty of four traffic violations, all involving excessive speed. In one case, she was going 16-20 mph over the speed limit in a school zone.
Since 2007, she has been ticketed a total of six times for speeding, but she was able to remove two of the infractions from her driving record by taking defensive driving classes, according to police.
Cook failed to complete a recent driver improvement class, and her license was suspended this month, according to state records.

She's pretty cute. I'd have to get a full body shot to know for sure, but I'd probably let her off with just a couple years of probation.
"Since 2007, she has been ticketed a total of six times for speeding..."
She needs to be permanently banned from driving a motor vehicle.
PS: check her phone records and time, although Daddy says she was not txting while driving, I wouldn't believe him.
"We are first and foremost an educational institution that values integrity, honesty and treating others with fairness and respect".

Is she hot?
When Prepared, Fear No One.

I'd hit it. (and run)
Don't confuse hope for a plan.
According to police, Cook clipped two motorcyclists who had pulled to the curb near 14th Street. Nathaniel Kollars, 30, of Lincoln, suffered a broken leg; Sharon Stratman, 54, of Yankton, S.D., suffered abrasions.
A witness told police that Cook appeared to be "in distress due to her facial expression, but there was no attempt to stop."

Sprint Cars Championship Weekend - Open Wheel Electrifying ActionWritten by on February 1, 2009 Contributors: Scott R. Cedergreen, ASA/NSRA The ASA/NSRA Is A Traveling Sprint Car Ser-Ies In The Northwestern U.S. And It's Getting It Done
Given the current state of the economy, a touring Sprint Car series in the northwestern portion of our country should be at the greatest risk of impact. After all, tracks are separated by hundreds of miles of mountainous terrain. But the Northwest Sprintcar Racing Series, also known as the NSRA, is experiencing just the opposite. Granted, the car counts are off a little but overall the series is healthy and it's bringing a show that puts fans in the stands.
Sanctioned by the American Speed Association, the NSRA is a touring group that, in 2008, visited six different tracks in three states (Washington, Oregon, and Idaho) with 13 events. The NSRA can trace its origins back to 1987, when USAC unexpectedly dropped its regional sanctioning of Sprint Car racing in the Pacific Northwest. In response, Curt Kern and Ed Williams started a new association (Northwest Supermodified Racing Association or NSRA) to sanction Sprint Car and Supermodified racing. In 1992, Kern took the Supers and formed the Western States Supermodified Tour (WSST), leaving the Sprint Cars to continue with the Northwest Supermodified/Sprintcar Racing Association (NSSRA).
Since 2001, the sanction has been headed up by Mike Sullivan and focuses exclusively on racing Sprint Cars, hence the loss of the second "s" in the name. Interestingly, many of the people associated with the NSRA, such as the push truck drivers, volunteer their time for the love of Sprint Car racing. Naturally, there's quite a bit of coordination to put on a successful show and that coordination falls on Sullivan's shoulders.
Hundreds of miles separate tracks in the Pacific Northwest, making the economical administration of a traveling series a borderline nightmare. Sullivan says that economic factors can be blamed for the small dip in the NSRA's average car count, but there are still 20 teams showing up to each event. "Like any traveling series, local cars do help boost our car count, but then we'll visit some tracks like Mission Valley Speedway in Montana where there really aren't any local Sprint Cars there. So we have to be self sufficient."
Despite visiting areas devoid of Sprint Cars, Sullivan says that by the end of the season, the NSRA might have 70-plus cars that run races in the series at one time or another. Still, a big part of that challenge is the travel time it takes teams to get to a show.
"Getting to some of these tracks is a 15 hour pull for guys from Oregon," says Sullivan. "And we've got racers from Oregon, Idaho, Washington, and Montana. We have raced in Canada in the past, and I'd love to go back there, but the trick is getting enough money to make these guys feel good for traveling."
So how does Sullivan and the NSRA go about doing that? It's actually a creative approach to race promotion.
"We have a built-in expense compensation, if you qualify your car (for the race) you're guaranteed a payment," says Sullivan. That payment is based on mileage, and although it doesn't cover all of a racer's expenses, it does help offset some of the travel cost. For example, if a racer tows 300 miles to go to an event and qualifies, he or she may receive $270 to $300 back in the form of expense compensation.
It's a creative approach to ensure the health of your series.
The Car And The Show Winged pavement Sprint Cars are some of the fastest race cars in the country. The NSRA Sprint Car is powered by a 360 ci aluminum block, alcohol-fueled engine. The wheelbase must be at least 84 inches and no more than 90 inches while the overall length of the car is limited to a maximum of 14 feet. These cars have a maximum width of 78 inches and a maximum offset for both front and rear wheels of 4 inches.
Now comes the fun part when you figure the 750 hp motor is sitting in a car with a minimum weight rule of 1,650 pounds with the driver. The combination of lightweight and a ton of horsepower delivers some lightning fast lap times.
Rookie NSRA racer Sierra Jackson set a fast time recently at the quarter-mile Meridian Speedway with a mind-numbing time of 11.297 seconds.
To keep the cars on the ground, the top wing size can't exceed 3,600 square inches, while the nose wing can't be bigger than 1,300 square inches.
The NSRA Sprint Car rules package makes for a show at the front, middle, and back of the pack, and that's just how Sullivan likes it. "There's plenty of slicing and dicing. At some tracks, we're upwards of two seconds faster than a USAC car," says Sullivan.
All that speed lent itself to a rule change a while back. Today, the NSRA inverts its field for the feature using the traditional pill draw for one very simple reason. "We used to have fast qualifiers, but that made for a boring show," explains Sullivan. "We're interested in putting on a show, so depending on the car count for the feature we may invert anywhere from 6 to 12 of the racers. The fast qualifier pulls the pill and, ultimately, more people enjoy the A-Main."
Biggest Challenge Interestingly, Sullivan doesn't cite the economy or fuel prices as his biggest challenges. While those are certainly factors that merit attention, the biggest challenge to the NSRA is getting the word out that it's coming to town.
"My biggest issue is when we're leaving town with a car on a trailer and somebody stops and asks when the race is that coming weekend," says Sullivan. "They didn't even know we were there."
Savvy track promoters know that when a touring series like NSRA comes to town they have the opportunity to pack the stands.
"I'm not happy with Saturday nights being plugged up with the 800 pound gorilla (NASCAR)," says Sullivan. "But in a down economy when people can't take off for the big tour, they go back to their local short-track, we've been seeing that in some places."
And that's good for the sport. But promoters are still challenged right now and the NSRA believes that it's up to everybody to work together and help promoters create events that people want to attend.
Championship Weekend One of the tracks people clearly want to be at has been on the NSRA's schedule twice in 2008. Located just 10 miles east of Boise, Idaho, Meridian Speedway was the site of the NSRA's final race of the year and one that would decide the championship.
"When was the last time you saw the wave take place at a short-track?" questioned ASA's Dennis Huth, who was in attendance for the championship weekend. "It reminded me of years gone by ... people were screaming at the drivers, people were having fun in the grandstands."
The weekend was a throwback to what those who grew up in the sport remember from childhood. Packed grandstands, the smell of alcohol-burning race cars, and carnival-style food at the concession added up to an electricity in the stands that, according to the folks who were there, was palpable.
"We had 28 cars show up. We had heat races, A-Main, B-Main. We had a 20 car main event," explains Meridian Speedway owner/promoter Ken Hamilton. "My fans loved it because our local racers had a legitimate shot to win against the out-of-towners. We enjoyed having the NSRA here and they enjoyed being here."
To start the two-day show, NSRA points leader Matt Hein had a near perfect night on Friday; qualifying fourth, winning his heat race, and finishing off the night winning the A-Main event. But Saturday night's action was a bit different. Hein was involved in a Turn 1 crash on lap 27 of the A-Main. Finishing 19th, but with his closest competitor, Andy Alberding, not starting the A-Main due to a broken lifter in his engine, Hein was able to earn enough points to claim his first American Speed Association Northwest Sprintcar Racing Association (ASA/NSRA) championship.
Sandwiched smack in the middle of the championship battle was a 16-year-old girl from Idaho. No stranger to racing, Sierra Jackson's resume includes more than 10 years behind the wheel beginning at age 6 in a box stock cage kart. She eventually made her way to the 360 Sprint Cars she runs now, her first taste coming courtesy of Meridian's Ken Hamilton. "I let her drive 'The Pink Lady' (Hamilton's iconic Sprint Car from the late '60s) and she loved it," says Hamilton, the father of open wheel star, Davey Hamilton. "She's talented, has great focus, and listens to everything you tell her do."
Her rookie season in the highly competitive NSRA was 2008, and in her first year with the series, she had a legitimate shot to win the title, which no doubt added that much more excitement to the weekend. Jackson's title shot is even all the more impressive when you consider she couldn't run all the races. "I had to skip the first race because I was only 15 (ASA/NSRA minimum age is 16) and so we only ran 12 races this year," explains the teen.
Coming into the series and immediately challenging for the title gave her a unique view of the NSRA's show. "It's much more competitive than our weekly show," says Jackson, who raced at Meridian when the NSRA schedule would allow. "We still get 18 Sprint Cars at the track every week, but NSRA was more competitive."
In the midst of that competition Sierra noted something about the NSRA racers. "They all were very friendly. Even though it's very competitive, the racers all hang out and talk to one another in the pits."
Jackson made her mark on the NSRA in 2008. In addition to finishing Second in season points to Hein, she won the A-Main at Ephrata, WA, to become both the youngest driver and first woman to win in ASA/NSRA competition. She plans on running the NSRA schedule next year in pursuit of the title and will be joined by many of the same series regulars who have competed on the circuit for years.
Future The future for the NSRA is looking good. It's in a position where it can pick and choose at which tracks it wants to race. "We don't have to go hunt races, we have more demand than we can meet," admits Sullivan. And with a 16-year-old phenom whose stated goal is to run the Indy 500 by the time she's 21, the NSRA is definitely a series to check out if you're ever up in the Pacific Northwest.

Thanks, everyone! I didn't realize this would be an internal ultrasound, but I've been doing them about three timespa week so whatever, lol.
All of the nursery ideas sound really cute.
I hope you feel better, Stef. You're almost there!
DH and I are visiting a friend I NYC at the end of March. Another friend is coming from CA to Boston to go to NYC too (not sure why the triangulation) but she isn't speaking to me now BC I told her DH and I want to take the Acela instead of the Fung Wah or another crazy bus. It's too early to tell her I'm pregnant and don't want to ride the crazy bus, but im annoyed that she's being a jerk about this. Oh well. I'll tell her when we're in NYC and she can feel bad about it then. Maybe that's mean but I think her hissy fit is stupid.
Also, I feel like I'm starting to show, which I realize is crazy. I'm very small and have been noticing a pooch that wasn't there before.

Hi all,
I currently have Zimbra Open Source edition installed on a local mail server in my company. Recently, a couple of my users have reported getting too many spam emails on a daily basis. When I checked, I saw that Anti Spam is very much active so cannot understand why this is happeneing and advise them to continue to train the server by marking those messages as junk.
Those users has no luck and therefore the complain made its way to the upper management and I was asked by my boss to write a report and compare Zimbra with Sendmail and MS Exchange and tell him:
1) Pros and Cons of each
2) Costs involved with migrating to MS Exchange
3) Advantages of using Zimbra
4) If folks will get less spam if we migrate to MS Exchange
Any help would be much appreciate it.

A vision of joy: 'Psych' returns this week
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- While the midseason return of "The Walking Dead" on Feb. 10 was the highlight of my month, the Season 7 kickoff of "Psych" is a close second.With "The Walking Dead," I only had to wait nine weeks for it to return. For "Psych," it's been 45. That's far too long to go between new Shawn & Gus adventures, but finally, the wait is over. The show returns to USA at 10 p.m. Wednesday.If you are unfamiliar, "Pysch" follows the adventures of fake psychic detective Shawn Spencer (James Roday) and his best friend, Burton "Gus" Guster (Dulé Hill). It's a buddy-cop comedy full of irreverent humor with plenty of '80s references (including its great guest stars) and goofy dancing.Using Shawn's superior observational skills -- which he passes off as psychic visions -- they work as consultants to the Santa Barbara Police Department, collaborating with detectives Juliette O'Hara (Maggie Lawson) and Carlton Lassiter (Timothy Omundson). They also get help from Shawn's dad, retired cop Henry Spencer (Corbin Bernsen) and police chief Karen Vick (Kristen Nelson).One of the things I am most excited for this season is the show's 100th episode. It's an homage to one of my favorite movies, "Clue," including appearances by three of the movie's stars: Christopher Lloyd (Professor Plum), Martin Mull (Colonel Mustard) and Lesley Ann Warren (Miss Scarlet). Sadly, it seems that Tim Curry (Wadsworth), who appeared on the show in Season 2, is not involved.I'm also looking forward to the musical episode. However, creator Steve Franks has said it will air as a special later in the year, as opposed to being part of the season."Psych" already has been renewed for an eighth season, which will tie it with "Monk" for the longest-running original series on the network. Right now, that season is only eight episodes, so there's speculation that it might be the last.Even if it is, that gives us plenty of time before we have to say goodbye, and I don't need one of Shawn's visions to tell me that time will be full of fun.Reach Amy Robinson at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Marion County sheriff's officials are offering up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of three men in connection with a home invasion robbery and a sexual assault on a woman at an apartment complex early Tuesday morning.
Detectives described the suspects as three black males, dressed in all-black clothing and wearing hoodies. The men, who were seen leaving the area in an older model black or dark blue Cadillac, are believed to be between 5 foot 7 to 5 foot 9 and weigh 170 to 180 pounds.
The men, officials said, barged into an apartment in Serenity Apartments, 3480 NE 48th Terrace, and demanded money and jewelry. The men tied up one of the occupants, a man, and pointed a gun at his head. One of the men forced a woman who was there into a bedroom, where she was sexually assaulted.
Officials said the reward money would come from "investigative funds" and is being offered in hopes of generating new leads in the case.
Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or Detective Mark Peavy at 369-6715 or 572-4660.

Assessing the Research and Writing Process
Depending on the topic, purposes, and audience of a research and writing assignment, you may decide to include some or all of the following assessment questions, or you may tailor additional assessment questions to fit special features of your course or assignment. These questions are divided into only three stages, but—depending on the nature of the assignment or the expertise of students—you may decide to divide and pace the assignment differently to allow for additional instruction or feedback.
Sharing this set of questions with students when the assignment is first presented and discussed would create an opportunity for them to practice self-assessment as they proceed through the assignment.
Early Stage Assessment Questions
- Is the topic sufficiently narrow to allow more than superficial investigation?
- Has the student framed a research question that guides the range of inquiry?
- How much historical range does the research question entail—3 years? 10 years? 25 years?
- How broad should the search be: Should it include data or analysis of a given kind? key reference works or databases? a variety of media, including books and journals of a specific currency or scope? newspapers and magazine? Internet data of a particular kind?
- How extensive has the student's initial survey of possible resources been?
- How much evidence is presented of the student's time on task— note-taking (including and reaching beyond simple duplication of source material), a bibliography, brainstorming notes, journal writing, a research log, free-writing, or other exploratory writing?
Middle Stage Assessment Questions
What evidence does the student offer of efforts to make the subject and purposes of the assignment his or her own?
- Has the student made an oral or written presentation on the progress of the assignment including a description of the sources covered; efforts to define terms; attempts to distinguish the points of view, methods, and conclusions of experts; and explanations of refinements of the assignment's purposes?
- Have efforts to reorganize source material to serve students' purposes been illustrated with documented outlines or documented drafts or sections of the assignment?
- Have students exchanged drafts of the assignment with you, with the entire class, or with subgroups of the class? Has constructive feedback been guided by teacher-prepared or class-prepared questions about the clarity, direction, persuasiveness, and adequacy of the assignment draft?
Final Stage Assessment Questions
- Are the purposes of the final product clear? Where background to the assignment is needed, is it presented early in the paper? Is the thesis statement or controlling idea of the assignment clearly stated early in the work? Does the paper (or other assigned product) address key concepts the audience will need to understand? Is the organization of the parts of the assignment described or outlined?
- Does the development of the assignment proceed in a clearly sensible way? (Does the structure of the assignment reflect its purposes, the methods of the discipline, or an organization expected by the readers?
- Are the paper's generalizations appropriately developed? Are the materials of development adequate and convincing?
- Does the final form of the assignment respond adequately to feedback offered to the author (by you and fellow classmates) in earlier stages of the research/writing process? Has the document been reworked substantially, as may have been suggested, and carefully edited?
- Does the student's treatment of the assignment suggest originality, competence, and expertise?
- Are all sources documented in a bibliographical style appropriate to the course and the assignment?
- Are the formal features of the document appropriate to the topic, the purposes, and audience for the assignment? Is the format conventional for assignments of this kind?
- Is the English clear and emphatic? Are tone and diction appropriate to the assignment and the audience? Are syntax and punctuation conventional? Are document and page format, heading style, and typography conventional for such a document?

LS1 Swap - How To Swap A Gen III Into A '64-'72 A-Body Part IIWritten by Douglas Glad on November 11, 2008 This is part two of our Gen III Chevy A-Body swap. It's El Goodo.
In the May '08 issue, we dropped a GM LS1 into a '64 El Camino and left you hanging because we didn't have the parts to finish the job. Since that time, we've received exhaust, a radiator, and all the little parts and pieces to get the car on the road. In March, we drove the Elco to Ramona, California, near San Diego on the Car Craft Anti Tour, getting nearly 20 mpg on the way with zero overheating and zero drama. In fact, the car is so reliable, it might be bordering on boring. It's a good problem to have.
The following details cover the rest of the installation and the scary computer stuff that really wasn't scary at all. We ended up using the base maps provided by the manufacturers and included some info on how to tweak them if you want to bark the tires and waste some fuel. It reminded us just how easy it is to build a Chevy.
There should be a Mexican restaurant called The El Camino, if there isn't one already we're just sayin'.

The Windows-based Keisler interface allowed us to simply upload any of the three supplied shift maps, or we could fiddle with shift points, firmness, and the lockup converter live. By the time you read this, Keisler will have added a toggle option so you can flip to the performance map using a switch. It shifts later and harder and doesn't lock up the converter if you are drag racing.Our engine didn't come with a stock starter, so we tried the LS starter from MSD. We did it for two reasons: Whenever we cheap out on the starter when we install a new engine, it fails; and the MSD starter is clockable, so we knew it would fit in any position with any headers. So far, we are unscarred from the experience.The A41 uses throttle-position information to set shift timing and line pressure. As the voltage signal increases from 0.45 to 5.00 volts, line pressure increases and the shift is delayed according to the program that is installed. Therefore, it is important that the throttle position sensor (TPS) is connected to the transmission wiring harness. If you are using a carburetor, Keisler supplies a TPS kit with a mounting bracket.To keep the transmission cool, we used a B&M Hi-Tek automatic transmission cooling system. It consists of a cooler with a Spal fan and a 160-degree thermostat that is self-contained, or you can control it with a factory engine computer or the MSD MEFI4.The MSD engine controller has a big, fat wire for the tach, so we couldn't resist buying some new candy: This is the 50th anniversary short sweep pedestal tach from Auto Meter. Note the correct hose-clamp installation.The '04 GTO that gave up this engine uses a cable-driven throttle body. After looking at several Gen III swaps, we discovered the LS1 cable from Lokar. It is the simplest way to connect to a throttle on a musclecar. It even comes with the bracket.The transmission comes with a speedometer gear of your choice, depending on the wheel and tire combo and rear gear you have, or you can use an optional electronic speedometer output for electronic gauges.Probably the coolest part of the swap is the overdrive shift indicator. Notice the circle around the D? You have to be paying attention.Another problem we solved using street rod parts was the gas pedal. The factory Chevelle/El Camino pedal arm interferes with the cylinder head under the hood, preventing the throttle from opening more than 80 percent. The new pedal allowed 100 percent throttle opening for better burnouts and harder shifts.
LS1 Walkaround
The MSD MEFI4 is plug-and-play if you want it to be. To get the car on the road, all you have to do is plug in all the connectors, add power and a ground, and load a base fuel and timing map by clicking a button. We've provided this spread to help you identify the locations and functions of all the sensors on the LS1 engine.We used the MSD MEFI4 engine controller instead of finding and modifying an original harness. The system plugs in to the factory sensors and includes injector and coil harnesses. The basic wiring requires two constant 12-volt connections, a ground, and a 12-volt key-on connection.The temperature sender is plugged in to the driver-side head. The MEFI4 uses that input to activate two outputs: the engine cooling fan, and in our case, the transmission cooling fan as well.If you have two fuel inlet lines on the manifold, you also have an external fuel regulator. If you have a single fuel inlet line, the regulator is in the tank and you have a fuel damper like this one. Because of our single fuel line, we used an in-tank regulated LS1 pump.On the left is the oil pressure sender, and on the right is the cam sensor. The factory engine uses the crank and cam sensor to operate the sequential fuel-injection system and fire one injector at a time. The MEFI4 is batch fire, meaning all the injectors fire at the same time. The new MEFI5 system will use these two sensors to operate in sequential mode.The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor is also behind the intake manifold. It is used to fine-tune the fuel maps.The knock sensor plugs in behind the intake manifold and sends a signal to the MEFI4 to control spark timing. The trick here is to run good gas and shut it off at the dragstrip.
The MEFI4 system is USB security-keyed for each application. That way, the system identifies your car when you plug it in.We've heard the crossflow radiator causes overheating problems. Not so. Afco offers this direct-fit radiator for almost any musclecar application, and we drove the car everywhere without seeing more than 190 degrees. The fan is controlled by the MSD MEFI4 via the laptop computer interface. The hoses are generic 90s with a piece of ceramic-coated header connecting them. Check the swap meet.We hooked the headers to a Flowmaster '64-'72 El Camino exhaust kit. It includes the H-pipe, the 2.50-inch tubes, and the 3-inch tips that exit behind the rear tire. The 50 Series mufflers are mellow at cruise and crisp at full throttle. They idle with a musclecar burble, even though the engine is fuel injected and lacks cam chop.The fuel tank from Rock Valley, includes either a 0-30- or 0-90-ohm fuel sender. We used the 0-30 and the stock fuel gauge.We used a 1/4-inch NPT to -8 adapter and ran Earl's Ano-Tuff fuel line to the rail on the engine. The Earl's line works just like the old-school braided lines, except it is soft and easy to work with so you don't bleed.We mounted a Summit Racing 100-micron fuel filter on the frame because there is no fuel filter on the stock fuel rail.Another trick is this fitting from Aeromotive that connects -8 AN to the stock GM fuel rail so you don't have to use hose clamps to hold 60 psi of fuel pressure.We were running out of cash toward the end, so we went to Home Depot and found a 3-inch ID ABS 90-degree plastic tube from the plumbing-supply section and mated it with a 7-inch K&N filter. So far, only one guy noticed, but we think he might work for Home Depot.
The last parts we had to add were the power steering hoses. The complete kit came from S&P, after we filled out the dimensions sheet provided with the accessory drives. The system uses a remote reservoir that we mounted near the radiator.

Read an article the other day about MT FWP holding public comment meetings about possibly eliminating the mule deer b tags completely (except for the urban areas) for the 2014 and 15 seasons. They even are considering eliminating some whitetail b tags in the areas that have been hit hard by the EHD outbreak.
Though I don't believe that this is the only change needed to help the MT mule deer get back on their feet, it is at least IMO an attempt by the FWP to try and help. This also shows me that at least they realize that there IS in fact a problem with the mule deer populations and steps need to be taken to help them out. I still would love to see the deer seasons shortened like they have done in north central MT so that the deer are not hunted in the rut by unlimited amount of rifle hunters. Shortening the season wouldn't take away any opportunity, but would provide the mule deer (who we all know become A LOT easier to hunt in the rut) a chance at surviving a few years and actually allowing the genetics that MT has to show up in some mature bucks again.
I know that this will be a bit less opportunity but I really do believe that it would at least be a small step in the right direction, FINALLY.

Cornering the Market
A one-of-a-kind bridal shopping experience
Wedding Dresser Couture by Vassa
Now, she has incorporated all that background into her own bridal boutique, offering what she refers to as, 'The Vassa Experience.'
"First experiences are the most important," she said. "From the moment you walk into Wedding Dresser Couture by Vassa, every experience will feel the same as the first. This is an important and exciting time.
The Vassa Experience is a unique kind of bridal shopping venture. When Vassa takes a bride under her wing, she wants her to have fun! Appointments are exclusively for that bride only, although she can bring along whomever she wants. Wine is offered in a relaxing atmosphere, and the showroom is the bride's to look through. All the wedding gowns are designer ones, and time should be taken to choose the perfect fit.
Vassa will be with the bride for all her appointments. Each alternation appointment, which will include her seamstress, is about an hour and a half long. At the final fitting, Vassa will discuss the details of how to get into the gown. She suggests that a bride brings along someone who will assist her with it on her special day. Vassa will see everything through from beginning to end, and even put the finished gown in the car.
An extra service she can offer is at-the-venue personal assistance on the bride's wedding day. This can mean last minute hand-pressing and preparation of the gown. Assistance is given for photographs, entering the reception, and making sure the gown is flawless for the first dance.
When shopping at Wedding Dresser Couture by Vassa, you'll enter an elegant, fully stocked showroom filled with designer wedding gowns, bridal accessories like headpieces, veils, jewelry, and shrugs, and evening gowns. Items can be found at a variety of price points.

JOCKEY ROCCO BOWEN, MASTER'S BLUFF, WINNER: "This horse was real sharp, and I knew he wanted the lead. My agent (David Singer) told me to be patient. I started licking my lips when I saw the other horses going at it up front. I was sitting in the garden spot. He had plenty left. It was just a matter of getting him to go straight. He's still learning. He'll be a monster horse when the races start to get longer. I've won a lot of stakes races, but it's always nice to get your first stakes win at a new track."
NOTES: Master's Bluff (2-1-0-1-$15,668)…Owners: Debra Larson, Phoenix, AZ; Shadley Reichert, Seattle, Wash…Master's Bluff received a $1,000 bonus as a WTBOA Sales graduate…This is the first Emerald Downs stakes win for jockey Rocco Bowen, a 23-year-old native of Barbados in his first season at EmD…Trainer Dave Bennett has three Emerald Downs stakes wins…Bennett also win this race with L.A. La in 1995at Yakima Meadows.
JOCKEY DEBBIE HOONAN, VALID VIXEN QUEEN, WINNER: "From the outside post, I wanted to get in position and make sure I didn't get hung wide. Normally, I'd try to teach her a little bit, but you can't do that in a stakes race. I asked her for a little more in the lane and she gave it to me. I could hear the (No.1) horse coming, but I wasn't looking back."
NOTES: Valid Vixen Queen (2-1-0-1-$15,073)…Owner: Vixen Queen Sandy Corp. (Joseph Nassif, Shoreline, Wash.)…. Jockey Debbie Hoonan has 13 career stakes wins at Emerald Downs…This is the first EmD stakes win for trainer Neil Knapp.

I'm new to Zimbra and (unfortunately) I have to develop Zimlets.
Documentation is...well lets not talk about that.
I managed to create a Zimlet for the Tools Sidebar executing some JavaScript when clicking on it. This works fine, but is unnecessary if I want to make directly an Ajax Request.
So there is the singleClicked Method (works fine) and the singleClicked Element (doesn't work at all).
Here is my description file code:
As you can see I took the mailaggregator example and put it in the _dev folder.Code:
<zimlet name="dk_cabo_mailaggregator" version="1.0" description="Mail Aggregator">

I am going to explain here my migration, with normal migration steps, ssh port setup and certificates setup. After that I will explain some configuration that I need on my particular situation.
And, well, the result of all of this is that I can receive external emails in the first minutes or so and then I cannot longer receive emails.
Senders get this error:
So, please help me solving this error. I am ready to offer you any configuration or command output that you want.Code:554 554 <firstname.lastname@example.com>: Relay access denied (state 14).
Thank you.
Hopefully this step-by-step 32bit to 64bit migration will be useful for someone.
My migration is based on this document: Network Edition: Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit Server - Zimbra :: Wiki
(I tried other four howtos on blogs and forums and none of them worked for me).
Source pc I have a 6.04 32-bit Debian 5 Zimbra installation.
Destination pc is going to be 6.04 64-bit Debian 5 Zimbra installation.
1) I have made the ldap dump (/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmslapcat /backup) which it is found in the destination pc at /tmp/ldap.bak.
2) zmcontrol stop as zimbra user
3) Backup /opt/zimbra
I have done a tar.gz of the /opt/zimbra directory contents in the source pc.
This tar.gz from the source pc has been untarred in /tmp/zimbra in the destination pc.Code:cd /opt tar czf /tmp/zimbra_migration.tar.gz zimbra
4) ZCSLicense.xml copy - Skipped.Code:cd /tmp tar xzf /home/user/zimbra_migration.tar.gz
5) I install 6.04 64 bit Debian 5 in destination pc with the same passwords, packages, spam and ham training accounts and settings than in the source pc.
Code:mkdir /tmp/604installation cd /tmp/604installation wget "http://files2.zimbra.com/downloads/6.0.4_GA/zcs-6.0.4_GA_2038.DEBIAN5_64.20091214195434.tgz" tar xzf zcs-6.0.4_GA_2038.DEBIAN5_64.20091214195434.tgz cd zcs-6.0.4_GA_2038.DEBIAN5_64.20091214195434 ./install.sh
6) I stop ZCS services in the destination pc.
7) At destination pc I am going to restore ldap data.Code:zmcontrol stop
7.1) Delete hdb data.
7.2) Ldap with replicas (Skipped).Code:rm -rf /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/*
7.4) Ldap with replicas (Skipped).Code:mkdir -p /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/logs
7.6)Code:cp /tmp/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db/DB_CONFIG /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db/DB_CONFIG
(As root user and come back as zimbra user)Code:chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/data/ldap
8)Code:/opt/zimbra/openldap/sbin/slapadd -q -b "" -F /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config -cv -l /tmp/ldap.bak
and I update all the passwords to match localconfig.xml from the old installation.Code:nano /opt/zimbra/conf/localconfig.xml
10) Copy store and index directories.Code:rm -rf /opt/zimbra/db/data/* cp -r /tmp/zimbra/db/data/* /opt/zimbra/db/data/
11) Commercial certificates copy. Skipped.Code:cp -r /tmp/zimbra/store/* /opt/zimbra/store/ cp -r /tmp/zimbra/index/* /opt/zimbra/index/
13) (As root)Code:rm -rf /opt/zimbra/redolog/*
14) Start ZCSCode:/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms
15) Backup. Skipped.Code:zmcontrol start
16) Firewall. Skipped.
II- Minimal caveats fix
After starting ZCS I get a: zmmailboxdctl is not running when running zmcontrol status.
1) Let's solve any ssh port (mine is not standard 22) problem.
Code:zmprov -l ms fake.domain.com zimbraRemoteManagementPort 2425And run as root:Code:cd /opt/zimbra/bin/ ./zmsshkeygen ./zmupdateauthkeys
2) Let's solve certificate problem. Remember that I have skipped the certificate migration step. (Run commands as root)Code:/etc/init.d/ssh force-reload
Now we can do:Code:mv /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/etc/keystore \ /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/etc/keystore_REMOVED /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr createca -new /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr createcrt -new /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcertmgr deploycrt self /opt/zimbra/java/bin/keytool -import -alias root \ -keystore /opt/zimbra/java/jre/lib/security/cacerts \ -storepass changeit -file /opt/zimbra/conf/ca/ca.pem
Code:zmcontrol stop zmcontrol start
III - Some needed setup (for my particular situation)
* General setup. MTA. Network. Retransmission MTA for external delivery. (I remove it).
* General setup. MTA. Network. MTA server names in Internet: (I remove it).
* General setup. MTA. Network. Internal SMTP hostname: I remove it.
* General setup. MTA. Network. Protocol checks. I uncheck every one of them because I want to receive every mail.
* General setup. MTA. Authentication. I uncheck Only TLS authentication (I have learnt that if it is checked I cannot receive any external emails, please correct me if I am worng).
* Servers. fake.domain.com. MTA. Network. MTA server names in Internet: (I remove it).
* Servers. fake.domain.com. MTA. MTATrustNetworks. I edit it so that the new external ip is set as trust. 18.104.22.168/32.
* Domains. domain.com . Virtual servers. Update with the new virtual server.
IV - Zimbra restart
(As zimbra user)
Code:zmcontrol stop zmcontrol start

The Kroger Corp. has no immediate plans to open another store in Benwood after the current store closes Aug. 25, company spokeswoman Jackie Siekmann said.
The company announced Friday that it would close the Benwood store this summer. The owner of the plaza where Kroger is located, IMI Fabi, which operates the adjacent talcum powder plant, has other plans for the area and did not extend the company's lease.
Benwood Mayor Ed Kuca said he and others were hopeful that Kroger would consider another site in the city for a store, but Siekmann noted that currently would not be an option.

The Kroger store in the Benwood plaza will be closed as of Aug. 25.
"We have terrific associates in our Benwood store who have worked hard to serve their community," said Bernie Anders, district manager of the Ohio Valley Kroger stores. "Unfortunately, our lease is expiring at this location, and the landlord has different plans for the property, so we have no choice but to close the store on Aug. 25."
A call to IMI Fabi's Benwood office was not returned Friday.
Anders said all 61 store associates at the Benwood store will be offered employment opportunities at other locations in the surrounding area. Kroger currently employs 1,136 associates in the Wheeling-Steubenville region. He also added that Kroger will continue its commitment and service to the Ohio Valley.
"Kroger is a long-time partner within the Ohio Valley grocery industry," said Anders. "We are committed to the valley, our associates, our customers and the community."
Kuca said Benwood would continue to look for a grocer to locate in the city.
"We have a location and a willing developer, so I'm certain we will have some type of grocery operation for our residents and also the residents of McMechen and South Wheeling," he said.

General comments
We are currently allowed to use terms like Prof. in AACR2 headings. I assume they were omitted as permitted additions in RDA because they were seen as subject to change. But if creating unique authorized access points is a priority, I don't see a problem with bringing the addition of these terms back as an option of last resort. --Robert J. Rendall 07:38, 23 August 2012 (PDT)
I fully support expansion of terms of rank, honour or office for authorized access points for personal names. In my daily RDA authority work restriction to not being able to use these terms to distinguish one person from another seems unnecessary and it makes cataloging work more difficult. Using the above mentioned terms will not only help to disambiguate persons with the same name but will also help to create an authorized personal heading that is closest to the form of name that a person is commonly known and identified by.
Per RDA 18.104.22.168. A name of the person is a word, character, or group of words and/or characters by which a person is known.
Some persons are known exclusively as (for example) Reverend Brown, or Captain Bernard Lee. In cases like these terms "Reverend" and "Captain" became part of those people identities, integral part of their names, and been rarely omitted when addressing them. By excluding these terms from the authorized heading we alter the name by which the person is commonly known.
If the term of honour or office becomes an integral part of person's name, it seems logical that it should be added regardless if other (more preferred) elements like dates and fuller form of name are available. Similar to terms of royalty or ecclesiastical rank. I am curious whether FRBR puts these attributes of names in certain order, ranking some of them at the top, and others below. If FRBR is silent about it, then I would advocate for making the Optional Addition for the newly proposed 22.214.171.124 "Add a term indicative of rank, honour or office even if there is no need to distinguish between access points" a compulsory one.
I especially support adding terms indicating military rank. In many cases a term indicating occupation "Military officer" is not sufficient enough to distinguish between two Adam Smiths, for example, one of which is a colonel, and another is a sergeant, and there is nothing else to separate them.
It is important to give clearer instructions on what is considered a term of office and honour. Will it also include term "Dr" or "Doctor", and it's other equivalents existing in non-Western countries?
Larisa Walsh, CC:DA, Aug. 28, 2012
The proposal does not mention the necessary changes to 220.127.116.11 to reference the new 220.127.116.11 and to 18.104.22.168 (2nd paragraph) to reference the new 126.96.36.199.
Alternatively, should the proposed 188.8.131.52 be incorporated under 22.214.171.124, perhaps as a new category f?
I'm also confused as to when abbreviations will be permitted. For example, why would "Rev." be used instead of "Reverend"?
Should instructions be added to the new 18.104.22.168 to mirror the conditions in 18.104.22.168, such as: "in the language used in the country in which the person resides. If there is more than one such term, use the one that is most often associated with the name or is considered to be more important. Use spellings found in dictionaries in the language preferred by the agency creating the data. If such a term, etc., has become an integral part of the name, treat it as such."? (Or is this overkill?)
- Glennan (PCC) 8/28/12
Since this proposal does not include special instructions like the ones in 184.108.40.206, it looks like titles would be recorded in the form found, abbreviated or not. So a name encountered in the form "ds. J. Smit," where ds. is a Dutch title equivalent to Rev., would be established if necessary as Smit, J., ds., not spelled out (as "dominee") or translated into another language if he lived outside the Netherlands. And that seems right to me. --Robert J. Rendall 14:38, 30 August 2012 (PDT)
I agree with Larisa that the range of terms permitted as additions here needs to be made clearer. I'm not sure how Rev. counts as a "term of rank, honour or office" (the proposal summary presents it as an example of a fourth category, "term of respect for clergy," but the actual proposal doesn't include that category), and I too am not sure whether the use of Dr. or Doctor would be covered by this as written - I think it probably should be. --Robert J. Rendall 06:43, 31 August 2012 (PDT)
NLM strongly supports this proposal.
-- Glennan (PCC), 8/31/12
Should a reference also be given to RDA 22.214.171.124 General Guidelines on Recording Names Containing Neither a Surname nor a Title of Nobility:
"Include as an integral part of the name any words or phrases denoting place of origin, domicile, occupation, or other characteristics that are commonly associated with the name in resources associated with the person or in reference sources"
For example: Paul, the Deacon.
Larisa Walsh, CC:DA (Sept. 4, 2012)

Montreal Road Course Race Ended Prematurely for Michael Annett as Result of Late Mechanical Issue
Posted by: lori on Aug 30, 2010
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing
Montreal, Canada (August 30, 2010) – In the NASCAR Nationwide Series'
only race outside of United States borders, Michael Annett and the No. 15 Flying J Travel Plaza team anticipated a promising finish in the 74 lap NAPA Auto Parts 200 presented by Dodge at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. Halted by a late race accident when Annett experienced a mechanical issue, the Germain Racing team's hopes were deflated with less than ten laps to go.
In his fifth ever road course attempt, Annett started 36th, but quickly gained ground on the pack making it into the top-20 on lap 19. A yellow flag was thrown on lap 20, and crew chief Ryan Fugle opted for Annett to stay out on the track rather than come to pit road.
Running on tires that were last changed on lap 8 and fuel that was topped off on lap 15, Annett restarted 13th on lap 24. He drove steadily in the top-20 before pitting under green on lap 44 for four fresh tires, fuel and a tear off. Back on the 2.71 mile track, he maintained a top-15 running position before trouble hit nearing the end of the race.
With nine laps to go, Annett's top-15 run was slowed by a mechanical part failure causing a blown right front tire leading him to smack the wall in turn four. The caution came out and the day was ended early for the No. 15 Flying J Travel Plaza team. Annett was scored 25th at the finish. He remained 12th in Nationwide Series championship owner points, just 77 points outside of the top-10.
The next stop on the Nationwide Series circuit is Atlanta Motor Speedway where the second tiered series will link back with the top ranked Sprint Cup Series. Annett, who reins as the 2009 Raybestos Rookie of the Race at Atlanta, looks to earn a respectable finish on the 1.54 mile track where he finished 14th last season.

Hi Guys
Recently I have been designing some 'Laser Cut' radiator cover screens. Please see attached a dxf file with which you will find a block of the original design and a block of the grid layout which you can use to design your own cover screen design with QCAD .
The grid can be used to design cover screens up to 900mm x 610mm (with a margin of approximately 20mm). Your own design of shape/s works best if they fit an individual size of 21mm x 20mm.
Simply copy and paste your shapes to the grid intersections.

I have installed Zimbra CS on a fresh FC4 installation. The only two problems I experienced were /etc/hosts and the symlink issue.
I am now able to connect and log in to both the admin and user interfaces, however I am unable to receive mail. I have a test domain setup with the test address: email@example.com and I appear to be sending fine but I don't appear to be receiving mail, I tried sending a test to myself. I also tried sending a message manually by telnetting on to localhost:25 the message was accepted and queued but still no messages have appeared.
I have tried turning off DNS lookups and I am not using any of the other MTA security checks.
I have not managed to determine where the MTA traffic is being logged to so if someone could point me in that direction it would be very much appreciated along with any other suggestions.
So far, very impressed with the suite in these early stages of eval.

I have had tried changing one of my clients over to Zimbra desktop for our back end zimbra server but have hit major resistance because the "include shared items" does not stick. The office uses shared contacts and it is a pain to remember to have to select the shared items when searching for the company contacts and email.
Anyone else found this a bit of a pain? Would be a very useful feature and remove a stumbling block to my clients accepting Z desktop. For the moment they are sticking with Thunderbird with zindus & Lightning with calDAV which works well for the shared calandar and contacts.

As reported yesterday in Monday's + NETCORDS, Mardy Fish married fiancée Stacey Gardner of Deal or no Deal in a lavish, black-tie wedding at The Four Seasons in Beverly Hills on Sunday.
The bride and groom were surrounded by 150 guests including groomsman James Blake, James' brother Thomas, and basketballer Kevin Garnett. Good friend Andy Roddick was not in attendance since he was a little busy winning Beijing.
Stacy had six bridesmaids all wearing black dresses and worked with wedding planner Linda Howard, from Sensational Celebrations, while Mark's Garden provided the flowers. The couple walked down a red rose petal-strewn aisle to U2's "A Beautiful Day".

Hot Rodding Headlines - History That Changed Hot RoddingWritten by Johnny Hunkins on July 1, 2011 World events influence our lives, but they also have an impact on the hot rods we build. Here are 10 headlines that put us where we are
There are a bunch of watershed moments within the hot rodding world that changed the course of the hobby, but how much did larger national and world events play in how our hobby was shaped? We like to think we're firmly in control of our own destiny—it's as much a part of our Yankee psyche as hot rodding itself, but sometimes events are so big, you just gotta ride the wave and see where it takes you.
Our list of 10 historic events that changed hot rodding include a lot of stuff far removed from the hobby itself, but one thing that is common to many of them is that whether intended or not, they all have been a positive force on hot rodding. When you ask why this is, you can only come up with one good answer: Hot rodding is driven by invention, necessity, ingenuity, and vicarious curiosity. If you try to keep us down, we're going to teach you a lesson about Yankee ingenuity!
The Fall of Communism
What Happened?
The watershed year of 1989 saw revolutions in Poland, Hungary, East Germany, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Tiananmen Square in China. As communism crumbled, it resulted in billions of people joining the free market economy. Ironically, it was the failed revolution in China that had perhaps the biggest impact on hot rodding. When Hu Yaobang, a reform advocate and protégé of Deng Xiaoping died on April 15, one million people gathered in Tiananmen Square.
What It Caused:
The Tiananmen Square revolt was crushed, but not without a significant change in the way the Chinese government did business. As the last major bastion of Communism in the world, the Chinese would now have to do business with the rest of the world if they wanted to survive economically. Call it capitalism lite. That means cities like Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Tianjin now pump out hot rod parts by the freighterful. Without the fall of the Iron Curtain, we'd be buying '69 Camaro bodies stamped in Norwood instead on Nanjing—or maybe we wouldn't be buying new Camaro bodies at all.
Presidents' Day 1979
What Happened?
Call it the perfect storm of coincidence. For the first time in history, a major broadcast network (CBS) aired the entire Daytona 500—live. The decision was fortuitous because it coincided with a major East Coast snowstorm that put much of the country in whiteout. Millions of wannabe rednecks were stuck on the couch watching something called NASCAR. On the final lap, race leader Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough made contact several times and crashed. The two got out of their cars and started arguing. When Donnie's brother, Bobby, arrived on the scene, a fistfight broke out.
What It Caused:
The spectacle of redneck racers knocking the crap out of each other after smashing their cars at nearly 200 mph was just too good for ordinary folk to pass up. NASCAR became a household word overnight. NASCAR's new popularity allowed Detroit to cash in; the Big Three built many stock car–themed packages, including the Monte Carlo SS, the Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2, the Ford Thunderbird Turbo and Super Coupes, and the vaunted Buick Regal Grand National. Thanks to a freak snowstorm and a bored network programming exec, a new NASCAR nation gobbled up NASCAR rods by the millions.
Unsafe At Any Speed
What Happened?
Ralph Nader's book, Unsafe At Any Speed, was published in 1965, and presented a damning view of the U.S. auto industry. Its questionable critique of the Chevy Corvair's suspension was the most memorable insult to car guys, but the book also took issue with many styling and engineering practices in Detroit, including the use of chrome, the proliferation of different shift patterns, no reverse lockout, and styling that took a back seat to pedestrian safety.
What It Caused:
Nader's book spelled death for the Chevy Corvair, which hastened the development of the forthcoming Camaro, the car that would take the place of the Corvair in Chevy's sporty compact position. Simply put: If the Corvair had survived and thrived, there would've been no Camaro, at least as we know it now. We also have Nader's book to thank for the standardized "PRNDL" shift pattern, and reverse lockout.
As a footnote, GM undertook a massive harassment campaign on Nader that was eventually exposed in congressional hearings, in which GM was forced to publicly apologize. This paved the way for Nader to successfully sue GM. The resulting multimillion-dollar payoff largely funded Nader's successful lobbying efforts for the Clean Air Act of 1967 and the formation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
1973 Yom Kippur War
What Happened?
Between October 6 and October 25, 1973, a military coalition of Egyptian and Syrian forces invaded Israel during the Jewish Yom Kippur holiday. In the proxy war, the Soviet Union secretly supported the coalition, and the United States backed the Israelis. What the U.S. didn't know is that two months prior to the attack, Egypt and Saudi Arabia had secretly agreed to hold their oil hostage as an economic weapon.
What It Caused:
The 1973 OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) oil embargo was designed to punish any nation that backed the Israelis during the Yom Kippur War (that's us). As a result, the price of oil quadrupled almost overnight. Say hello to long gas lines and good-bye to big-block Camaros, Boss Mustangs, and Hemi 'Cudas. On the positive side, the OPEC embargos (there was another one in 1979) forced OEMs to build lighter-weight cars with overdrive transmissions and more efficient engines—stuff hot rodders couldn't live without now.
Robert S. McNamara
What Happened?
You may remember Robert S. McNamara as the Secretary of Defense under U.S. Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, but McNamara was also a moving force in the auto industry, where he worked at Ford from 1946 until 1961. McNamara is a nexus between world politics and the auto industry—and the timing of his work as president of Ford Motor Company interests us here. During the 1950s, when Detroit was moving toward larger, gaudier, more expensive cars, McNamara was an advocate of smaller, safer, more fuel-efficient cars. One of the last things he did before moving on to Kennedy's cabinet was to bring the Ford Falcon into existence in 1959 as a 1960 model.
What It Caused:
As any good gearhead knows, the Falcon was the platform on which the '64 Mustang was built. Inexpensive, lightweight, and powered by an optional V-8 engine, the Mustang singlehandedly started the ponycar revolution and became the basis for today's performance recipe of a V-8 in a lightweight, affordable car. Without McNamara, there is no Mustang, no Camaro, no Firebird, and no 'Cuda. After McNamara became Secretary of Defense in 1961, his logistical expertise was used to preside over the escalation of the Vietnam War, raising the troop count from a mere 900 advisors in 1964 to nearly 535,000 combat troops by June 1968. Would we have been better off if McNamara had stayed at Ford?
Chrysler "Hemi" Aircraft Engine
What Happened?
Nothing spurs innovative engineering like wartime, and World War II was no exception. There are probably hundreds of technical innovations from WWII that indirectly made a mark on hot rodding, not to mention the social and economic conditions that made hot rodding thrive, but some of them are more iconic than others. While arriving too late to have a big impact on the war, Chrysler's IV-2220 "Hemi" aircraft engine was designed to push internal combustion aircraft to new levels of performance. The experimental 2,500hp liquid-cooled inverted V-16 aircraft engine was designed by Chrysler and was Chrysler's first "Hemi."
What It Caused:
The Hemi is arguably the most iconic hot rod powerplant in existence, thanks to the war effort. This aircraft Hemi engine technology would eventually make its way into Chrysler automobiles in 1951 (which lasted until 1958). It then made a comeback in 1964 in its most storied 426ci variant, going on hiatus once again in 1972. Then in 2002, the third-generation Hemi appeared in its current form, where it once again ruled the road. And while much about the Hemi has changed since WWII, the basic power-producing concept of a hemispherical combustion chamber is still proving valid.
1967 Federal Clean Air Act
What Happened?
While there had been federal legislation to control pollution prior to 1967, it was the 1967 Federal Clean Air Act that first put high performance on notice: Clean up your act, or get off the road. In response to a marked deterioration in air quality, especially in urban areas, the new law was the first to put strict limits on auto manufacturers for hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions.
What It Caused:
No longer would automakers get a free pass to make cars heavier, engines larger, camshafts longer, compression ratios higher, or exhaust plumes dirtier. The Big Three would have to deal with these engineering challenges head on. Through the years, federal legislation has "forced" OEMs to come by new horsepower honestly, and these efforts have yielded watershed technologies such as electronic fuel injection, exhaust catalysts, cylinder deactivation, turbocharging, stratified combustion, regenerative braking, aerodynamic styling, low rolling resistance tires, and more. The cumulative effect of these technologies has resulted in vehicle performance and power completely beyond the comprehension of a 1967-era hot rodder.
Clean Air Act Extension of 1970
What Happened?
The EPA banned the use of tetraethyl lead in 1976 as a result of the Clean Air Act Extension of 1970. No more great-smelling gas, but a bunch more "forced" technical improvements to engines and fuels. Researcher Herbert Needleman had found that higher blood levels of lead in children were correlated with decreased school performance. Needleman was repeatedly accused of scientific misconduct by individuals within the lead industry, but he was eventually cleared. Of course, today we know that lead poses a serious health threat beyond its use as a fuel antiknock additive and valvetrain protectant, but the fight all started with leaded gas.
What It Caused:
Though the Clean Air Act Extension of 1970 required the phaseout of lead tetraethyl, it wasn't without a fight. A back-and-forth court battle between the Ethyl Corporation and the EPA dragged things out until lead phaseout could start in 1976. Lead phaseout forced manufacturers to develop other technologies with which to protect valve seats and stave off compression-related knock. If it weren't specifically for the Clean Air Act Extension of 1970, we wouldn't have hardened valve seats, quench-optimized combustion chambers, high-swirl ports, and all the extra horsepower that comes from them. Unfortunately, the improvement in school performance that Needleman hoped for hasn't manifested itself.
German GM-1 Nitrous System
What Happened?
When World War II hit, the Germans had the best air power on the planet. It was years before the Allies caught up, but by then the Luftwaffe had already made their biggest contribution to hot rodding in the form of nitrous oxide injection. The GM-1 (or Göring Mischung 1) was the first-ever bolt-on nitrous kit, and was used extensively in Bf 109 and Focke-Wulf Ta 152H fighters to boost high-altitude performance. It was Jerry engineering—not Yank ingenuity—that first introduced the world to the slogan, "gas 'em and pass 'em!"
What It Caused:
After WWII, jet engines replaced internal combustion engines as the powerplant of choice in fighter aircraft, so nitrous as a power-boosting technology was shelved. Then in 1978, Mike Thermos and Dale Vaznaian formed Nitrous Oxide Systems, and devoted their efforts to doing nitrous the right way in a hot rod setting. Today, NOS and others offer many automotive nitrous systems that provide a significant and safe form of power adder at a price-to-performance ratio that can't be beat.
The Space Race
What Happened?
There's nothing like a little friendly rivalry to spur technical achievement. That's exactly what happened on October 4, 1957 when the Russians launched Sputnik 1. The 183-pound satellite broadcast a steady beep that could be heard by ham radio hobbyists all over the U.S. That steady beep wouldn't be taken lightly, and the U.S. government dramatically increased spending on scientific research and education. Then on April 12, 1961, the Russians got another first, putting the first man in orbit. It was on like Donkey Kong!
What It Caused:
On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy vowed to congress that America would put a man on the moon and return him safely to earth before the end of the decade. But getting there wouldn't be easy. It would require a commitment to develop a huge set of technical competencies, some of which hadn't even been invented. The Apollo moon program that resulted gave modern hot rodding a brand-new set of tools that we take for granted today, such as composites, gas dynamics, exotic lightweight alloys, finite element analysis, synthetic lubricants, computers, and carbon fiber, to name a few. To this day, the Russians have yet to field one decent muscle car!
Future Look
1997 Kyoto Protocol
What's Happening?
The concern by scientists (and wealthy land owners living in shoreline houses) over the increase in average global temperature has led them to look for a scapegoat—that being man-made greenhouse gases. Although there is still only anecdotal proof as to why global temperature is rising, scientists and politicians have decided to hedge their bet by agreeing to reduce man-made greenhouse gases in a document called the Kyoto Protocol. Simply put, signatory countries to the protocol (called Annex 1 countries) must report greenhouse gas production and reduce emissions by 5.2 percent relative to a 1990 baseline. They can do this through actual reductions, or by cap and trade, whereby a company can buy credits from factories in signatory countries that produce reductions in excess of their target.
What This Will Cause:
Irrespective of ones view about the underlying premise, or whether the U.S. should ratify the document, the Kyoto Protocol will impact hot rodding at some point in the near future. Look for more efficient engine technologies, as well as really awesome hybrid and electric engines to power our muscle cars and hot rods. This, however, doesn't address the disparity in cap-and-trade between China and developed Western nations, which gives China (and to a lesser extent, India) a huge running start that will deliver a knockout economic punch to the "cleaner" signatories of the protocol. In the simplest terms, the Kyoto Protocol may extract such a high cost that it turns wealthy countries into poor ones. What good is a high-tech hot rod if nobody can afford one?
Of course, there are always unintended byproducts to new rules. Will the greenhouse gas gremlin be eclipsed by a crisis in the electrical grid or by ground pollution from the toxic metals from batteries? Will accident scenes become contaminated cleanup zones? Will the increased demand for rare metals and the reduced need for crude oil create new geopolitical conflicts that we're better off without? All we know is that hot rods will be there to take advantage of whatever new technology evolves!

The BerkelBike: Benefits Of Cycling.
BerkelBike Users
Reni de Boer is elected Mis(s) Netherlands in 2007. Reni suffers from multiple sclerosis and therefore she purchased a BerkelBike. Reni thinks that the alternation of activity is very important. Because in this way she is less affected by the fatigue that MS brings.
The benefits of cycling are even greater for individuals who are physically impaired to overcome common issues such as being overweight due to lack of activities such as exercise. The muscle wastage and improper blood circulation due to extensive use of a wheel chair can both be avoided with this active sport. The BerkelBike gives people who are physically impaired the opportunity to practice this activity.
Using the BerkelBike helps rehabilitate and keeps the muscles stronger and fitter then a handcycle. By combining using both the legs and the arms to move it provides support to both muscle groups. Often the legs can't take all the weight and need a little boost. Here is where the BerkelBike comes in, it uses an arm connection to help support the legs allowing enough power to move. Giving it a greater advantage over a handcycle.
