The challenge is that many new treatments may not complete the move from 'bench to bedside' in time to plug the yawning revenue gap from a second record year of patent expiries. This year's drop off the patent cliff is the longest and steepest, with a $50 billion loss coming on top of the $30 billion ceded to generics in 2011. Most companies will struggle to play catchup, with margins under intense pressure due to the immediate fallout from genericization of the product base; in the U.S. alone, off-patent penetration has reached 80 percent of all scrip, and IMS forecasts this figure will rise to 86 percent by 2015.
Meanwhile, the fiscal crisis in Europe has voided the entire concept of patenting as a reward for innovation in providing a temporary period of price exclusivity. Therapeutic reference pricing is clustering brands with the cheapest generics, and some countries in the region are now moving toward a straight bulk procurement model for drugs reimbursed through state-sponsored systems. Quality? Innovation? These are yesterday's questions.Trade Winds Go Generic
The erosion of patent cover means that 2012 will be a golden harvest for the generics industry. While it is premature to condemn all new medicines to the slashing scythe of the grim reaper, innovators, at least for the near term, must adjust to a world where only slightly more than one out of every 10 U.S. prescriptions will be written for products with the potential to obtain a real price premium against the competition. Who will pay for innovation is a question deferred—but it will loom large as the cycle shifts back toward large biologics and the discovery payoff from the genomics revolution begins to empower the patient seeking a cure or a better quality of life.
So what is the preferred Big Pharma strategy to manage through this year of transition? Pharm Exec contacts with a range of industry players reveals that the dominant theme for 2012 is a relentless focus on managing costs. Pressures to cut back are mounting, not just in the expected areas such as R&D or field force management, but also through the rich incentives that companies are laying out to breach the access barriers and contract pricing ultimatums imposed by payers exercising their market clout. These payer tactics now incorporate the specialty segment, oncology, and other high-margin categories, which have, to date, been largely immune to pricing constraints.
Trim the Sails on Costs
As far as the investor community is concerned, one number counts. "Wall Street will be looking for evidence that companies know how to manage their expenses, and the best gauge of progress here is the difference between gross and net sales," says Amundsen Group managing director Mason Tenaglia. That view is echoed by St. Joseph's University Business School Professor Bill Trombetta, author of Pharm Exec's annual industry audit series, whose latest report in our September 2011 issue makes "lean management" a key theme. "2012 is all about the edge that will go to companies that achieve operational excellence against their peers. The logic is that the best way to cope with the uncertainties of a complicated business climate is by mastery of the internal environment, where management can exercise a stronger degree of control."
Slashing costs is necessary to minimize the immediate impact of the patent cliff on revenues. It also represents a welcome change in mindset, away from the complacency and tolerance for bloat that characterized the industry response to market churn in the previous decades. And as the pharma workforce is trimmed—a bloodletting long deferred—it provides fresh opportunity to revise the skill set required to prevail against the competition. Financial planning, manufacturing, competitive intelligence (the new costume for traditional market research), and IT have all been elevated to status as strategic functions rather than an operational activity.

Born: 06/27/1975
Birth Place: Santa Monica, California, USA
The product of a turbulent childhood, future actor Tobias Vincent Maguire was born on June 27, 1975 in Santa Monica, CA. The offspring of unwed parents, Maguire moved frequently as a child, living with various familial permutations of his parents, grandparents and aunts. This fractured childhood may have contributed to the young actor's drive and unique presence, evincing at once mature clarity and childlike vulnerability in his performances. After his mother, Wendy, offered him $100 to take drama instead of home economics as a school elective, Maguire - encouraged by a neighbor who was an entertainment manager - studied acting and soon landed TV commercial work.

As a follow-up to Kmeaw's PS3 Linux update and his previous work, PlayStation 3 hacker Graf Chokolo has now brought PS3 Linux back to Firmware 3.41.
To quote from xorloser's blog: And here we go Linux is officially back on PS3 3.41. It's even better now
It has all GameOS features, it has access to all HDD, VFLASH and FLASH regions. It can communicate with Dispatcher Manager, Update Manager, SYSCON Manager, it can run isolated SPUs, and of course RSX
I uploaded some screenshots of the Debian distribution i installed on my PS3 HDD. The Debian distribution is a just normal PPC64 Linux without any modification, all i changed was my dutifully and beloved Hypervisor
I modified the Hypervisor so far that it boots the Linux bootloader petitiboot from VFLASH and petitboot loads the Linux distribution installed on a HDD region.
And what is better than Linux to boot Linux ?
I practically implemented Dual Boot feature GameOS+OtherOS in the Hypervisor Linux is not the only OS which can be booted like this from PS3 HDD.
Now we don't need GameOS anymore to run our code, no need anymore for SELFs and we can start now programming our own games on PS3 on Linux
I will make everything public
And greetings to SONY Hand me over the maintance and implementation of PS3 Hypervisor I will improve it and maintain for free We all will benefit. HV hacking is great fun
Here are some screenshots:
PS: Compiling now my own Linux kernel on PS3 itself
Guys, one step after another, first test and implement with 3.41 then port to 3.55
HV is practically the same, don't worry.
Be patient guys. I will test everything properly and then release. I don't want to cause any bricks.
CORE OS and GameOS firmware updates are possible now from Linux because we have access to Dispatcher Manager and Update Manager of Hypervisor
Linux can do now everything what GameOS can do Linux rules
We have lots of things to do now E.g. implement Dispatcher Manager in Linux because Linux has only drivers for A/V-Manager and System Manager And ps3 block device driver have to be improved also, because now it allows only one HDD region to be accessed.
I'm not an expert in RSX, that is the only part of HV i didn't try to reverse yet
With normal Linux environment the possibilities are limitless now I don't need anymore my payloads, will start to port them, write normal Linux programs ENCDEC and SYSCON are still on my list The HV reversing will progress now a lot faster with Linux.
New Linux driver need to be written and so on.
BTW, guys, does someone has clue how to recompile Debian netinstaller, you will need it Because what i did to make it run was pure hack, not for developers i fear. We need to recompile it with new ps3disk driver.
Yeah, it's possible to patch HV to skip CORE OS hash checks.
I do not intend to stop. I didn't even read those docs Better spend my time with HV reversing.
I was thinking about FreeBSD of course, i like it very much And there is already a port to PS3
When $ONY comes after me i will still have enough time to release everything for PS3 devs, don't worry I do not intend to stop my reversing and development.
Regarding RSX, i think it' s in LV2 kernel, but not sure, i didn't reverse LV2 much.
Yes, we can resize/create/delete storage regions. That is what i did to make the VFLASH region larger in order to be able to store there petitboot uncompressed, because uncompressed petitboot is quite large ~7 MB
And yes, we could even boot 2 OSs.
Successfully compiled and booted the latest Linux kernel 2.6.37
Improving HDD and FLASH device drivers for Linux So we could get direct access to GameOS regions on Linux
Damn, ps3flash device driver doesn't support several FLASH devices and regions The driver is so crappy. Have to redesign it completely

New era begins tonight for Saints
Published: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 11:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 11:58 p.m.
Former NFL Pro Bowler Brock Marion will coach his first high school game tonight at The Villages.
Yes, it's only a spring scrimmage, but it marks the beginning of a new era at St. John Lutheran as the two-time Super Bowl champ takes over the football reins from veteran coach Dennis Meunier.
And while Marion — who played for a decorated list of coaches over his 12-year NFL career — hasn't decided exactly what his personal coaching style will be, he knew he'd first have to build a strong foundation when he took over a team that finished 3-7 last year, dropping their final six games during an injury-riddled season.
"The key to success is being fundamentally and technically sound in just about everything you do," Marion said back in February. "Get back to your basics and then expand from there. That's what we'll do here at St. John."
And so it has begun.
Marion inherits a team with some proven skill players, including running back Quandre Woods, who led the county in rushing last season before sustaining an injury that sidelined him, and derailed the Saints' promising 3-1 start. Now a junior, Woods is healthy and chomping at the bit.
So is quarterback Kameron Stender, who is one of just six seniors on Marion's roster. The dual-threat QB will have receiver Nick Weitlauf and Brock Marion Jr. to lean on as the Saints try to regain their form of 2011 when they went 9-3 and made the school's deepest state playoff run under Meunier.
But after carrying just 28 players on last year's roster — four of which were still in middle school — Marion is still working on building depth.
"Our numbers are a bit low right now," the first-year coach said. "With our baseball season just ending we have some kids just now coming out. Nonetheless, we are getting better each day. With a new coaching staff and new format for our program, our players are responding very well."
Da'Quan Wilkerson (5-11, 290) and Zachary Liekweg (6-0, 230) will try to help solidify things up front for the Saints, who will also get a boost from OCA transfer Bryant Fortune (5-10, 200) and returner John Gillman.
Marion will find out where he stands after tangling with a Villages team that went 0-10 during a rebuilding 2012 season under longtime local coach Richard Pettus, just one year after the Buffalo made it to the Class 1A region final.
Whatever happens tonight, Marion is convinced the Saints' best football is in front of them.
"Our younger players are going to be our strength in the future," Marion said. "We are loaded with youth."
Kickoff is scheduled for 7 tonight at The Villages.

Love these
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are the pants for me. I'm not tall - 5'5", but I have long legs & a shorter torso. These are low on the hips, long in the leg, snug enough so they don't flap in the wind when you're going fast (hate that). Super comfy for riding, and a classic style (not true of all the "White" collection stuff), that should last for several seasons ...
Oh, I bought the "Keef" - great colour.
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I bought these pants because so many people were commenting on the awesome length, and they looked like they fit cute. (I want a pair of pants that don't look entirely like garbage bags). I should've read more carefully. I'm 6'1" and ordered the XL hoping they'd be long enough but I never got to find out because I could hardly get the opening past my knees. Now I've got some thighs on me but this was like, ridiculous. So good for tall girls- but make sure you've got stick legs otherwise you'll be sending them right back like I did.
Not that great
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
Good for tall girls - I'm 5'10" and the length was perfect. But... the quality kinda sucks. I expected more from Burton. The fabric feels cheap and there's only one zip pocket - the rest are velcro. For the price, you can do better elsewhere.
Great pants
I ordered these pants for next year because my current snow pants are too short. Not sure about the warmth yet but they feel better than my old pair.The fit is great, but they do run small (something I expected with the slim fit) I ordered a size larger because I read several reviews with the same comment. I am 5' 9"and tend to wear a medium or a size 8 in pants so I ordered a large. The length is perfect for my long legs and the backside fits and looks great too. Can't go wrong with the true black.
Cute and Comfortable
Loved these pants. I typically wear a size small in Burton pants, but had to get a medium in this style. Very cute, loved them.
Love the slim fit, I'm 5'5" about 125lbs and I went with a Medium at first, but ended up with a large, i like the extra room to ride in, but i could definitely get away with a medium.
Weird fit
Loved the look of these online, but not so much out of the box. I am normally a medium in Burton, but ordered a large in these pants because of the slim fit- I like to have room for a base layer and room to move. Firstly, these pants are made for a giant. I don't know how many women are 7' tall, but that's who the length of this pant is for. I am 5'9" and these pants were conservatively 4" too long, which looked completely ridiculous and is not at all practical. Also, the waist of these was enormous, which I had anticipated having ordered the large, but the thighs were still snug. If you have a large booty and skinny long legs, these will probably fit great. Also, the velcro used to seal the pockets was super rough and scratchy, which would be irritating every time you need to access the pockets.
Lots of pockets though, which is great, and some cool hooks etc, for a lift ticket or season pass. I got the Keef, and the color was awesome. As I sent these back, I could not comment on the warmth, but the material seemed like good Burton quality that would keep you warm and dry.
In the end, the length and restricted leg movements were a deal breaker for me, so I opted to send them back in exchange for a more functional design.
Gorgeous pants - for skinny girls
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I just received this pants today and the material and color are amazing. I ordered the Meltwater color in size small. I had two chats with backcountry reps about what size I should order. I knew that I fit great in the Burton Sig (traditional ) fit in a size SMALL with room for a baselayer. But I was unsure if I would still be a size small in the SLIM fit Burton pants. The reps told me yeah, well I am writing this review to tell you NO. If you are a size SMALL in the Burton SIG fit, then you will be a MEDIUM in the Slim fit. These pants are cut for a slim- lacking curves girl. I am 5' 3" and 129 lbs with curves and the small fit okay in the waist with some room, but way to tight in the thighs. Yeah I wish I had a stick figure but I don't. So, alas, these have to be returned. Too bad, as they are really outstanding quality and beautiful material.

Honestly, the "world building" is the whole reason I got into making maps in the first place.
It is also why I've been slacking off a bit on my map, though I have made quite a bit of progress that I haven't posted, mostly because I'm not sure it is the right direction for my map.
I plan to add a lot more to the wiki about cultures, creatures, races, places, etc. in fact I had a big page written up about the people left over from this once-vast empire that I lost when my computer lost power for a moment. But that should be up as soon as I get around to re-writing it.
I am putting in information that isn't all entirely related to my entry, and will probably need some editing once everything gets more firmly established in other regions, but for now I'm just gonna go hog wild and worry about the overlap down the line.

I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

of its field goal attempts. The Blue Demons kept the game close by draining 6-
of-10 from beyond the arc in the opening 20 minutes.
The Blue Demons took a 55-52 advantage six minutes into the second half on a
Young three-pointer, and they were able to cling to the lead until the Tigers
tied it up at 72-72 on a Johnson trey with 3:35 remaining. A Melvin free throw
a few seconds later gave DePaul the lead back, and he managed to seal the
victory in the final seconds by draining two more at the stripe.
DePaul was not very efficient from the foul line (19-of-34), but it was able
to take 13 more attempts from the stripe than Auburn (14-of-21).

Four days after missing its date with the country, the crucial South West Monsoon has finally hit Kerala.
"South West Monsoon has arrived," Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) Director General L S Rathore said today, after the weather officials studied the rain pattern in Kerala over the last two days.
Rathore said that there was "sluggish march" in the onset phase. Monsoon normally hits Kerala on June 1 but this year, Met department had predicted that it will hit the state on June 5.
Since yesterday, the MeT department had been keeping a close watch on the rainfall and the wind pattern in the region before declaring the arrival of monsoon.
"We have 13 stations in Kerala and one in Karnataka that have recorded more than 2.5 mm of rainfall over the past two days-- one of the most important criteria to declare its arrival," said Rathore.
Continuous rain for over 48 hours with a westerly windspeed of 15 to 20 knots is among two critical parameters for declaring the arrival of monsoon, which is crucial for the country and its agro-based economy.
Rainfall occurred at many places over Kerala and at a few places over Lakshadweep and north interior Karnataka.
Isolated rainfall occurred over Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, Tamil Nadu, Coastal and South interior Karnataka in the last 48 hours.
After four years of normal and above-normal monsoon, India is expected to have below normal monsoon this year with rainfall projected to be 95 per cent, which will be disappointing for the farming community.
Officials in the weather department had said the monsoon is expected to be below normal because of El-Nino effect, which is generally associated with the warming of ocean water.
Since 2005, monsoon rains have arrived over the Kerala coast only once on June 1 last year. Other years, the arrivals have been earlier or delayed by a few days.
Delay in arrival of monsoon rains for a couple of days is normal as the rains spread across three to four months, an IMD official said.
Monsoon rains covers most parts of the country during June and July. Even the rains in August and September are attributed to the monsoon phenomenon.
In recent weeks, concern has been raised about the adverse impact of El Nino on the monsoon rains. Once the monsoon enters the Kerala coast, we will monitor its

MyReporter - Why is New Hanover Regional not using 5th floor?
Published: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 3:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 3:02 a.m.
Q. With demand for hospital beds rising, why is New Hanover Regional not using the fifth floor?
A. According to Erin Balzotti, a spokeswoman for the hospital, an operations team is in the process of working to temporarily open in-patient beds on the newly remodeled fifth floor to meet the increased demand for hospital beds.
– Kate Elizabeth Queram
Q. Where is the city's recycling sorted and what does it cost?
A. The city's recycling is taken to Recycle American, a division of Waste Management located on River Road, according to Dylan Lee, a city spokesman. From there, the recycling is loaded onto a tractor trailer and sent to one of their North Carolina processing centers, where it is separated and sold, Lee said.
The recycling costs the city $20 per ton, which is a savings compared to the $59 per ton it costs to dump trash at the New Hanover County landfill.

Video: Government Shutdown Will Have Widespread Impact
Video: Government Shutdown Begins At Midnight
WASHINGTON (AP) - A bitterly divided Congress has plunged the nation into a partial government shutdown as a deadlock over President Barack Obama's health care law stalled a temporary funding bill, forcing about 800,000 federal workers off the job and suspending all but non-essential government activities.
The shutdown, the first since the winter of 1995-96, closed national parks, museums along the Washington Mall and the U.S. Capitol visitors center. Agencies like NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency will be all but shuttered. People classified as essential government employees - such as air traffic controllers, Border Patrol agents and most food inspectors - will continue to work.
The military will be paid under legislation freshly signed by Obama but paychecks for other federal workers will be withheld until the impasse is broken.

Chrysler 5.7 Liter Hemi Dyno - The Third Time AroundWritten by on January 23, 2014 Chrysler invented the Hemi a long time ago. this month we'll dyno test its 5.7-liter Third-Generation engine
Since you're reading Mopar Muscle, you're likely already convinced that the Chrysler Corporation produced some of the best muscle cars in automotive history. You're also likely of the opinion that Mopar engines and drivetrain components were second to none in terms of power and durability. While there's no doubt that Mopars of the past were ahead of their time in terms of power and styling, we also feel that modern Mopars hold their own against competitors as well. In fact, even the off-brand editorial staff around our office agrees that the new Dodge Challenger really hit the mark, and the general consensus is that when compared to the Camaro and Mustang, the Challenger is the best-looking car of the three.
In terms of engines, late-model Mopars are equipped with some of the most efficient and powerful in the industry, and their latest version of the Hemi is the cream of the crop. Of course the Hemi engine is nothing new, as Chrysler introduced the design more than a half century ago. Since then, the Hemi has been revered as the ultimate in V-8 power. The second generation of the Hemi engine still rules the top classes of drag racing, and in certain classes like Super Stock, an entire class is dedicated to cars powered by this engine. The latest version is also called the Hemi, and has many of the same features of previous versions along with some serious improvements.
The term Hemi comes from the word hemispherical, which is the shape of the combustion chamber in the first and second generation engines. The third-generation Hemi has a similarly shaped combustion chamber, though it is arguably semi-hemispherical as it contains quench areas around the edges. The real advantage of the Hemi design is not so much the combustion chamber, but the valve orientation. With the intake valve canted, and close to the intake manifold, and the exhaust valve directly below it, the path of the air and fuel is unencumbered and ideal for flow through the cylinder head. The third generation Hemi shares this valve orientation with earlier versions, but has some advantages that help power and efficiency.
Modern Hemi engines utilize a hydraulic roller camshaft, aluminum cylinder heads, and are fuel injected. These features, along with a well-designed oil system that returns oil to the pan without contaminating the rotating assembly, help the modern Hemi achieve power, efficiency, and drivability that earlier Hemis could only dream about. Anyone who's driven a car powered by the second generation 426 Hemi knows that it was a beast with a rough idle, cantankerous manners, a peaky power band, and an appetite for fuel. Conversely, the modern Hemi makes more power per cubic inch, while idling smoothly, sipping fuel, and providing ample torque and horsepower throughout the rpm band.
The initial version of the third-generation Hemi displaced 345-inches, which converts to 5.7 liters, and was only available in Dodge Ram pickup trucks. In 2005 the Hemi was introduced in passenger cars, still displacing 5.7 liters. Power was rated at 345 horsepower back then, and the current 5.7 Hemi produces as much as 375 horsepower. We got our hands on a 5.7 liter Hemi crate engine that was offered by Mopar Performance early in the production run. The engine came with a Mopar Performance computer to run the ignition system, as well as a Holley 600-cfm carburetor matched to the engine. Unfortunately there weren't conversion mounts, headers, or oil pans available back then, and the car we planned to install the Hemi in was sold by the owner.
So with a 5.7 Hemi sitting in our warehouse, and a dyno just up the road at Auto Performance Engines, we decided to see how the late model Hemi compares to earlier versions, and use this Hemi to test some of the many parts available for the third-generation Hemi. This month, we'll show you what it took to get the Hemi hooked up to the dyno, and perform some tuning to the engine and test a couple of different carburetors. You'll be surprised how much this Hemi has in common with classic Mopar V-8 engines, and the aftermarket has certainly embraced the new Hemi by supplying a great variety of parts for it. In fact, it's now pretty easy to install the late-model Hemi into earlier Mopar body styles, and we're starting to see more and more of these conversions at car shows and events around the country.
For a stock engine, our Hemi performed very well on the dyno, and made good power with a relatively small carburetor. This engine has a smooth idle, good torque and horsepower, and is going to be a great starting point for future modifications. Our dyno numbers were better than those advertised by Chrysler, and we're sure the Hemi has more in it. In fact, we've already ordered a trio of camshafts from Crane Cams to test in a future article. Check out the dyno sheets, and be sure to watch future issues of Mopar Muscle as we modify this engine and see what kind of power we can tweak from this 5.7 Hemi.

03 The bellhousing bolt pattern on the late-model Hemi is the same as the Chrysler small-block, so we used a standard small-block bellhousing to bolt our late-model engine to the dyno.04 We used a set of Stainless Works short tube headers on the dyno. These headers have 21⁄2 inch collectors, and are made as a replacement for factory style manifolds.05 The late-model Hemi is a distributorless engine, so an engine controller must be used to control ignition functions. We installed the Mopar Performance engine controller and wiring harness that came with the crate engine from the factory.06 We made our initial dyno pulls using a 780-cfm carburetor that we knew to work well. With this carburetor installed, we matched the torque and power advertised in the paperwork we got with the engine.08 We also installed a Holley 650-cfm Ultra HP carburetor to see how it compared. While peak horsepower was highest with this carburetor installed, peak torque, average torque, and average horsepower were all highest with the 600-cfm Holley on the Hemi.09 Unlike earlier versions of the Hemi, this 5.7 liter engine idles smooth at 700 rpm, runs quietly, and has plenty of manifold vacuum for power brakes.10 We started our dyno session with a 780-cfm vacuum secondary Holley, since we knew it ran well. The best pull with this carburetor netted 332.1 lb-ft of torque, and 363.5 peak horsepower.11 Mopar sent a specially tuned carb with this engine, and although we doubted the small 600-cfm carb would be enough, we installed it and made a couple of pulls. With no tuning, the 600-cfm carb netted our best peak torque at 358.7 lb-ft, and 362.1 horsepower. Average numbers were also best with this carb, proving that bigger is not always better.
13 To make sure the difference was the carb and not the spacer, we also ran the 600 cfm carb with the one-inch open spacer. This combination netted our best peak horsepower at 368, but peak torque and average torque and horsepower were all down. This stock 5.7 Hemi just likes the 600-cfm carb with no spacer required.

Associated Press News Release
MARATHON, Fla. (AP) -- Motorists who slightly speed through certain school zones on the Florida Keys Overseas Highway during the holidays might just get an onion from the Grinch instead of a traffic citation.
Major Lou Caputo, of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, dons the Grinch costume and often wields a radar speed gun accompanied by other deputies. He says he portrays the fictional character created by children's author Dr. Seuss to give motorists a break, but also to highlight the need to obey speed limits in school zones.
Motorists who travel about 5 mph or less above the school zone speed limit are entitled to choose between traffic citations and onions presented by the Grinch. Those speeding beyond that get a ticket.
Caputo, 63, also wears the costume to pre-school and elementary functions.

Hello Dears,
I'm entering in the Zimbra World and did my first sucessfull installation of the ZCS 8.0.2.
At the actual point I have a functional server authenticating against AD. It works, it is fast, it is stable, it is ready for production!
But I would be more happy if I could use an attribute from AD ( mailAlternateAddress ) as an alias to the account, then I could use this attribute to login with.
Is there a way to cutomize the mappings between the internal LDAP and and the AD used for auth without programming?
My best regards,

In A Bad Mood? Here's 18 Easy Ways To Snap Out Of It!
by Sheryl Stewart
posted Apr 12 2011 1:39PM
Women's Day Magazine published this list of 18 ways to snap out of a bad mood.....most of them look pretty easy and seem like they would work....so maybe worth a try next time you can't get out of your funk? If none of these work.....here are my personal Top 3: Smell some fresh oranges, buy & wear a new outfit, or listen to mariachi music (ok, there's one more, but you guys are not allowed to make out with my husband, ha!)
TOP 18 WAYS TO GET OUT OF A BAD MOOD (From Women's Day)
Start a blog.
Like journaling, it gives you an outlet for your feelings. "But it may be even better for triggering happiness because people can leave you positive comments," says Caroline Adams Miller, coauthor of Creating Your Best Life. Begin one at Blogger.com.
Make up a ridiculous story.
If someone is fueling your sour mood, create a goofy character in your head based on that person. "Imagine an outrageous comic calamity befalling him," says Amy Riley, a life balance consultant for Tiara Coaching in Chicago. You'll get a good chuckle out of it.
Put yourself in the movies
. Think of your favorite film scene, one that makes you feel great every time you see it—like Bridget Jones kissing Mark Darcy in the snow. Now picture yourself as the main character. "Embracing that moment triggers optimism," says John Ryder, PhD, author of Positive Directions.
Soak up the sun.
Go outside or stand beside a bright window and bask in the warming rays for a few minutes. Sunlight ups the level of vitamin D in your body, which in turn keeps serotonin (a feel-good hormone) high, explains Mehmet Oz, MD, coauthor of You: Being Beautiful.
Be on the lookout for small wonders: butterflies in your garden, an amazingly bright full moon, etc
Listen to your favorite upbeat song and you'll be happier in seconds
Put photos of things/people you love on the fridge
. We look at our refrigerator about 27 times a day, so make the most of it. "Research shows that the happiest people have many joyful family photos displayed in their homes," says Adams Miller.
Surround yourself with plants and flowers
Change one of your passwords
(e-mail, voice mail, ATM) to a word that primes you to think in an optimistic way—the name of your much-loved pet, the funny nickname you call your husband, or even the word love.
Break out of the box. Do one small thing that's new and unexpected.
Mark your calendar. Make a note of an upcoming event that you're looking forward to!
Be generous.
A recent study found that when people spent as little as $5 on others, they reported greater feelings of joy.
Turn the negative positive
. List five to 10 things that went wrong today, then read them out loud, says Riley. It may sound counterintuitive but it works: When you hear all of it together—you dropped your morning bagel on the floor, noticed a new gray hair, discovered that your teen used the last of the shampoo—you'll see how minor it all is. And a little perspective goes a long way.
Send out good vibes
. "Text three friends and tell each of them one thing you like about her," says Sonja Lyubomirsky, PhD, author of The How of Happiness. Your kind words will make them (and you) feel terrific.
Lend a hand.
Call a local nursing home, shelter, church or charitable organization and ask how you can help. Those few minutes on the phone are all it takes to kick your spirits into high gear. Knowing that you'll soon be helping others—and then following through—makes you feel good about yourself, says Susan Ouellette, a health care educator in Baltimore, Maryland.
Think of the good stuff
. Spend a couple of minutes reflecting on your accomplishments over the past five, 10, 15 years, recommends Dan Baker, PhD, author of What Happy Women Know.

PARACHUTE/BATTLEMENT MESA - It's not every day that royalty serves you lunch.
You could say that's what happened though, when Chelsea Lorean, Ms. Western Colorado U.S. Universal 2013, delivered lunches to senior citizens and others in the quarterly "Meals on Heels" event held by Grand River's Meals on Wheels program on Friday, Nov. 30.
Lorean's commitment to the elderly is heartfelt, as she lost her "Nana" in 2006, after seeing dementia firsthand. Her experience, love and respect for her Nana fires her passion for assisting the elderly. Her platform as Ms. Western Colorado is to aid the elderly, especially those in hospice and with Alzheimer's disease.
"Giving back and working with the elderly play a huge role in my title and reign," Lorean said. "I would love to volunteer to help raise awareness for the Grand River Meals on Wheels program."
That focus included the Nov. 30 event, where Lorean brought her time - and smile - to Grand River's quarterly "Meals On Heels" delivery day. Hot meals were delivered to all Meals on Wheels clients in Parachute, Rifle, Silt and New Castle.
Lorean, a native Coloradan and a Rifle High School graduate, lives in Battlement Mesa with her young family. She helped spread a bit of pre-holiday cheer throughout Parachute and Battlement Mesa.
Complete with her festive sash, Lorean delivered meals to the elderly and brightened their day with her smile and warm comments. One recipient, June Moore, was very familiar with the pageant process, as she had a granddaughter who had competed in pageants. The two had much to talk about.
Grand River Meals on Wheels currently provides over 1,000 meals a month and the need grows as each month passes.
"The need for home delivered meals for the area's homebound seniors, disabled and recovering continues to grow," said Grand River Volunteer Manager Kaaren Peck. "I love it when new faces step up to the plate to help. Chelsea was a delight to work with. The faces of the meal recipients lit up as the saw Western Slope royalty delivering their meal!"
Peck adds that for some of the Meals on Wheels recipients, this is the only human contact they have each day.
The next Meals on Heels will be in March. To find out how to get involved and become a Meals on Wheels driver, contact Peck at 625-6423.

Preventing Home Fires: 6 Fire Prevention Tips
It is Fire Prevention Week. The Garage Plan Shop wants to share six more important tips with you about home fire prevention and fire safety. Practicing these safety tips will decrease the chances of a home fire.
1. Use Electricity Safely: Check all electrical cords in your home and replace any that are cracked, frayed or show signs of other damage. Do the same for extension cords. If an electrical appliance starts to smoke or smells like it is burning, unplug it immediately. Either repair or replace the appliance. Never run cords under rugs and do not overload outlets or extension cords. Fuses and circuit breakers protect you from fire. Do not tamper with the fuse box or use fuses of the improper size.
2. Matches and Lighters are not for Children: When in the hands of children, matches and lighters can be extremely dangerous. Store them out of reach and out of view from children. Teach children from early on these items are for adults only. If a child finds matches or a lighter, he or she should tell an adult immediately.
3. Give Space Heaters Room: Give space heaters plenty of room. They should be placed three feet from anything that can catch fire and burn such as paper, clothing, curtains, bedding and furniture. Turn space heaters off when you leave or go to sleep; do not leave them running. Also, keep children and pets away from space heaters to prevent them from getting bumped and toppling over.
4. Be Careful and Attentive When Cooking: Use the utmost care and attention when cooking. Never leave anything cooking unattended. Keep all cooking areas clear from combustibles including outdoor kitchens and grills. Turn handles of pots and pans inward one the stove to keep them out or reach of children and prevent someone from bumping the handle and knocking the pot or pan off the stove.
5. Cool a Burn: If someone should get burned, immediately place the wound in cool water for 15-20 minutes to relieve the burning sensation and pain. If the burn blisters, chars or becomes an open wound, seek medical attention right away.
6. Learn and Practice Candle Safety: Though candles smell nice and look pretty, they are becoming a growing household hazard when home fires are considered. Use common sense with lit candles. Never leave a burning candle unattended in any room in the house, even if you are in the next room. Do not burn candles when you go to bed or leave your home. Never place a lit candle near combustibles such as clothing, paper, curtains or bedding. Lit candles should be placed out of reach of children. Do not burn candles in low places or on unsteady surfaces like the coffee table or end tables where they can easily be knocked over by people or pets.
Even though Fire Prevention Week will be over soon, it is important to practice these safety tips year round in an effort to prevent a fire in your home.


text: Home Politics At CBC, Obama Delivers Fiery Message to GOP On Saturday, the president clearly stated he isn't interested in compromise around the Affordable Care Act. By: Hillary Crosley Posted: Sept. 22 2013 11:25 AM 0 President Barack Obama delivers remarks at the Phoenix Awards dinner on Saturday. (Paul J. Richards/AFP/Getty Images) (The Root) -- "We will not negotiate over whether or not America should keep its word and meet its obligations," President Barack Obama said on Saturday night during the dinner at the close of the 43rd Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual legislative conference. "We're not going to allow anyone to inflict economic pain on millions of our own people just to make an ideological point. And those folks are going to get some health care in this country -- we've been waiting 50 years for it." On Friday, the health care battle roared on Capitol Hill as House Republicans passed a bill that would maintain funding for the federal government as long as funding for the Affordable Care Act was eliminated. This week, the bill heads to the Senate, where it likely will be voted down. Soon, Congress will also have to address the country's debt ceiling, which Obama recently accused Republicans of entangling with the destruction of the Affordable Care Act. If a fiscal resolution isn't reached by Oct. 1, a government shutdown is possible. To date, last week's vote is the 42nd time House Republicans have tried to defund the Affordable Care Act. At the Phoenix Awards dinner Saturday night, the president spoke boldly to a choir of his African-American constituents during his keynote speech. "Now, I think -- this is an interesting thing to ponder -- that your top agenda is making sure 20 million people don't have health insurance," he continued. "And you'd be willing to shut down the government and potentially default for the first time in United States history because it bothers you so much that we're actually going to make sure that everybody has affordable health care." The president also noted the recent decision to cut food stamps. "House Republicans voted to cut $40 billion in nutritional aid for struggling families at the same time as some of the same folks who took that vote are receiving subsidies themselves," he said. "So farm subsidies for folks at the top are OK; help feeding your child is somehow not." Obama continued his focus on families by addressing education and economic fairness. "I've been talking to colleges, telling them they need to do their part by bringing costs down," Obama said. "Because in a 21st-century economy, a higher education is not a luxury, it is an economic imperative, and everybody should be able to afford it, not just a few." Touching on this week's shooting spree in Chicago, where a 3-year-old was shot in the head, the president also reflected on 2013's failed attempt to increase gun restrictions and called for more fervent action. "We fought a good fight earlier this year, but we came up short, and that means we've got to get back up and go back at it," he said. "As long as there are those who fight to make it as easy as possible for dangerous people to get their hands on a gun, then we've got to work as hard as possible for the sake of our children." Finally, Obama joked about the current trials his administration faces and reinforced his dogged determination. "I was taking photos with the CBC folks -- every one of them came up, said, 'Oh, you hang in there, man,' " Obama said with a smile. "And I said, don't worry about me. I am still fired up, because I still see the work that needs to be done." The Phoenix Awards also honored former President Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund Elaine Jones, Rep. Elijah Cummings, former President Bill Clinton, who was unable to attend, and the spirit of 1963, which was acknowledged by Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.).

Video of clearing paper jams
The following video demonstrates the steps explained on this page. The outside of the product might look different, but the steps are the same for your product.
If you have trouble viewing the video or to view the video in a different size, click here to play the video on YouTube.
Follow the steps below to clear a paper jam:
Turn off the all-in-one and unplug the power cord. With the power off, the paper feed rollers will turn.
Open the rear access door of the all-in-one by pressing in on the left side of the access door and then pulling it toward you.
note:All paper jams must be removed by pulling the paper out the back of the all-in-one using the rear access door. Pulling the paper out the front of the all-in-one rotates the paper feed rollers in the wrong direction and can lead to additional problems.Figure : Rear access doorInspect the pressure rollers on the rear access door and verify that they are clean and turn freely. Clean the rollers if needed with a soft towel lightly moistened with water. If the rollers do not turn freely, replace the rear access door. Click How to Buy on this page to order replacement parts.
From the rear access door opening, gently pull the jammed paper free.
Remove the remaining paper from the paper supply tray. Discard any paper that is damaged or crumpled and then re-stack and reload the paper into the paper supply tray.Do not continue to push the paper in after some resistance is felt. If the paper is pushed in too far, more than one page will feed into the all-in-one at a time.
Reattach the rear access door by inserting the two pins on the right of the door into the holes for them (as shown in Figure 3 below) and then pressing in gently but firmly on the left side.Figure : Inserting the rear access door guide pins into the holes
Reconnect the power cord to the unit and turn the unit on.
Causes of repeated paper jams
If paper jams occur repeatedly, one of the following may be causing them:
The paper is being pushed in too far. The paper should only be pushed in until the first resistance. Continuing to push the paper in will force the paper up into the paper rollers and will cause the printer to pull in multiple pages.
Obstructions in the paper path. Open the all-in-one (front and back) and check for obstructions.
Unlocked rear access door. Follow the steps above to install the rear access door correctly (see Figure 3). If this condition is present, the paper will skew in the all-in-one.
The paper guides are not positioned against the paper. Adjust the paper length and width guides so they fit snugly against the paper.
Incorrect paper. The paper should be flat and smooth with no folded, torn, or rough edges. Papers with a glossy finish and coated papers may not feed into the unit correctly. Paper that has already been printed on once can also cause problems.
Partially installed paper tray. The paper tray must be inserted all of the way into the all-in-one.
Dirty paper feed rollers. Over time paper fibers and dust will stick to the rollers and should be removed. Click here for instructions to clean the rollers. Also verify that the rollers on the rear access door are clean and turn freely. See the next section for instructions to clean the rear access door rollers.
Check Paper light flashes but there isn't a paper related problem
The check paper light may also flash if there are other problems. Verify the following conditions:
Verify that the print cartridge door is closed.
The print carriage may be jammed, follow these steps to correct the problem:
Open the print cartridge access door. If the print carriage can move, it should move to center. If the print carriage stays all the way left, unplug the power cord and then plug it back in. This will reset the unit and may allow the print carriage to move from the left.
Disconnect the power cord from the all-in-one.
Remove both print cartridges.
Move the print carriage left and right slightly to verify that the print carriage will move freely. If the print carriage will not move freely, check for obstructions.
Close the print cartridge access door.
Plug the power cord back in.
After the all-in-one initializes, the print cartridge light will flash. Open the access door and install the print cartridges.
Close the print cartridge access door. If the problem returns, remove the print cartridges and wipe the electrical contacts before reinstalling them.
Try to make a copy. If the all-in-one pulls in paper but cannot make a copy, there may be a problem with the scanner mechanism. Contact HP for assistance.
The print is skewed or crooked
A small amount of skewing is not unusual with printers. When there is too much skewing, the following steps can reduce the amount of skewing.
Adjust the paper length and width guides so they fit snugly against the paper.
Make sure that the rear-access door is fully snapped into position as shown above.
Remove the rear access door and clean the paper feed rollers with a soft lint-free cloth dampened with clean water to remove dust and paper fiber build up.
Figure : The paper feed rollers
More than one page feeds
The most common reason for this problem is that the paper was pushed too far into the all-in-one. The paper should only be pushed in until the first resistance. Continuing to push the paper in will force the paper up into the paper rollers and will cause the all-in-one to pull in multiple pages.
If the paper is loaded correctly, the paper itself or dirty paper rollers could be causing the problem.
Paper problems
There are several paper related problems that can cause more than one page to be pulled into the all-in-one. Check the list below:
Paper that has already been printed on.
Crumpled or folded paper.
Textured paper.
Specialty paper.
Envelopes may occasionally feed incorrectly because the envelope flap moves as the rollers grip it. Use envelopes with a rectangular flap and/or fold the flap inside the envelope when printing.
To determine if the paper is the cause, try using some clean and undamaged sheets of plain Inkjet rated 70 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 pound bond) paper such as HP Multipurpose or Bright White paper. If that paper feeds correctly, then they may be a problem with the other paper.
Dirty rollers
Over time, paper fibers and dust will stick to the rollers and should be removed. The location of these rollers is shown in Figure 3 above. Follow the steps below to clean the rollers:
Turn off the all-in-one.
Unplug the power cord from the back.
Remove the rear access door (see Figure 1 above).
Clean the rollers one at a time using a clean cloth that is slightly dampened with water. Rotate the roller to clean the entire surface.
Verify that the three paper feed rollers on the rear access door are clean and rotate freely. See Figure 4 above.
Reinstall the rear access door and then plug the power cord back in.
Turn the all-in-one back on.

A few notes before we start:
--> Yes, I know it's like 8 hours late. Sorry, my idiot self fell asleep without putting it here
--> Map doesn't match the story exactly. I did the maps that will be featured here way before the story.
The challenge is to make a story that follows a line of maps, not vice-versa.
--> There are 10 more days coming! Look for them on weekends.
--> I have absolutely no idea where to put this in the Forums. If someone has any ideas, let me know or
move it to the right place. Thanks!
A knock came on the door and a servant poked his head into the room before Andras had a chance to answer. The man's face was sweaty and nervous; Andras knew the servant could not carry good news.
"What is it, Stevens?" Andras asked. The man dipped his head, avoiding eye contact, and spoke carefully.
"Another of your trading vessels has gone missing sir. Reports suggest that it was apprehended a little more than halfway between here and Tavmin. I think it was the pirates again, sir." The servant replied. Andras sighed slowly, frustration building inside of him. It was not the first time a report of this nature had been issued this week. His fleet was thinning, and so was the money that came with it.
"Which vessel was it, Stevens?"
"The Norfolk, sir."
Andras swore. The Norfolk had been one of his favorites, and he had been personal friends with the captain of that ship. He dismissed the servant, who was relieved to exit so quickly, and sat silently at his desk, thinking.
As the sun retreated back to the Earth and the stars began to come out, Andras paged through an old book he had found in the deepest recesses of his private library. The book was worn with age, though it had spent the vast majority of it's time on the dusty shelves in the dark. Inside the pages, evil thoughts were scribbled hastily in some places, and methodically in others. Andras had been reading it for the past few days, in secrecy, and only tore his eyes from the pages when a knock on his door forced him to conceal the book. In part, Andras felt guilty, but he also felt strangely compelled to experiment with the suggestions made within the book. One, in particular, stood out from among the rest as being the worst, and also the most appealing. Andras, his mind focused elsewhere, was staring at that page now.
The comprehensible writing on the page was sparse. Instead, the author had written loosely, leaving out spaces between words and sometimes even letters. Reading was painstakingly slow and difficult, but Andras was so curious he refused to give up. The page also contained a shockingly accurate diagram (though the author of the book had seemed to rush here as well) of a man in a summoning circle. Little by little, Andras had deduced correctly that the page contained instructions on how to summon a major demon, possibly one that served evil directly and willingly.
While this revelation should have shocked Andras out of reading the book, he was so deeply immersed in the pages that few things could have stopped his continuing. There was corruption somewhere deep in his mind, and had he been his normal self, he would have felt something was wrong. His thoughts, however, were not entirely his own.
Andras decided that he had to try to summon this demon, for he was immensely curious. He did not know if what the book said was true, and he doubted the spell would work, but he wanted the opportunity to confront a demon. With the hour nearing midnight, and most of the lights in the village below his window disappearing, Andras set off through his manor to find the objects required for the spell. A few, like the candles and the chalk, were readily available. However, while Andras knew he had them, materials like copal incense were harder to find. When Andras had finished gathering the materials and had stalk piled them next to the summoning circle he had drawn (replicating the one in the book), it was nearly quarter to midnight.
Andras carefully lit the candles and the incense. The book had said to light an absurd amount of incense, and the room quickly filled with strong smelling smoke. The candles, as the only source of light in the room, dimly shone through the smoke. The summoning circle lay in the corner of the room, standing out on the dark stone floor.
Shaking with a mixture of fear dulled by excitement, Andras consulted the book for the final time before stepping into the summoning circle and chanting a series of words from the demonic language. The words chilled him; he didn't understand their meaning, but he found himself speaking with certainty in his deep voice. He grew more tense as he went, reciting the words from memory, as there was no way he could read from the book - it was not possible to read in the low light or bring the book inside the summoning circle.
When he finished, he was at first disappointed; the effect was not instantaneous. Then, the light from the candles dipped, plunging the room into near darkness. A sudden fear leapt up in Andras's heart as his mind was freed of corruption. For no more than a second, he realized the full extent of what he had done. Then his mind was once more clouded as an evil being slipped inside. His head felt heavier, swelled with the pressure of thousands of years of pain. Panicking, Andras ran out of the summoning circle and fell onto the enormous collection of candles. Though flames engulfed him, he felt no pain.
Andras collapsed and rolled on the floor to extinguish the flames, and remained there for several long moments, contemplating what had happened. He was not possessed by the demon, but his thoughts were corrupted and influenced by the wants of the evil creature inside him. He stood, and laid his eyes upon the book. He desperately wanted to tip the candle and spill hot wax and flame onto the evil pages, but something prevented him from doing so. Emotions rolling inside him, Andras stepped out onto the balcony connected to his bedroom.
Looking down, the drop was drastic. Even though Andras's quarters were located on the second floor of the keep, the balcony dangled over the cliff below, and the drop was more than five-hundred feet. The normally violent waters below were calm, lapping easily against the base of the cliff. A cold wind chilled Andras to the bone, but he stubbornly refused to retreat back to his warm rooms. Part of him wanted to avoid the mess he had made inside, and he knew he was not going to get any sleep.
Looking off to the side, Andras saw the village in the distance. Only a few lights were left on so late at night - midnight was only a few minutes away. Evil thoughts once more filled Andras's mind (influenced by the demon within) and his grip tightened on the railing of the balcony. He imagined a world under his control, were those who had the audacity to defy him were executed publicly, and he could send soldiers to die with the flick of a finger. Andras pictured the world the way he wanted it to be, and smiled a twisted smile.
The sound of a pebble skittering caused Andras to whirl around in rage. A terrified servant stood behind him, carrying a candle on a silver plate. The candle dropped when the servant saw the look upon Andras's face.
Though Andras would have called the man Stevens, the servant was not the same man as before. Andras did not know the real names of his servants, and did not care to learn them. Instead, he called every servant by the same name. The first servant had served Andras's family for years, and knew the consequences of bearing bad news. He had done so once today, and would not have been found doing it again. This servant, who was much younger and inexperienced, had been the unfortunate loser of a bet, and had been sentenced to check upon the master. He had mistakenly entered the room when he had seen smoke and had received no response to his incessant knocking.
Andras, infuriated beyond reason, grabbed a sword from were it rested against the wall (where the balcony connected to the castle) and advanced menacingly towards the servant. The man stumbled backwards in an attempt to get away from Andras, but was decapitated before he could retreat back into the bedrooms. Blood gushed from the hole where the man's head had been, and spilled over the edges of the balcony, dripping down into the waters below. The unfortunate man's head had just come to a stop when the clock struck midnight.
The best maps are the ones we like the most after looking at the longest.

HPP Pavement Pounders Shootout!Written by on May 1, 2013 Contributors: Thomas A. DeMauro Summit Motorsports Park Edition
In the past three issues, High Performance Pontiac delivered exciting strip-pounding action from our Pavement Pounders Shootout, which we hosted at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.
This private invitational, held the day prior to the annual Ames Performance Tri-Power Pontiac Nationals, gives classic and late-model Pontiac drag racers a chance to go for their best e.t.'s ever. This month, we pair two lickity-split LeMans. Both were optioned with low-performance V-8s from the factory but all that has changed, as their 10-second timeslips will prove. Let's meet the racers.
Jim May of Charlton, Massachusetts, sells tools to mechanic shops, but when on the track, his job is putting the hammer down on his '64 LeMans. It features a stroked 400/467 with Edelbrock heads, a Turbo 400, and 3.73 gears.
Joe Camp of Muncie, Indiana, is a retired power company substation mechanic, but there's still electricity in the air when he's on the dragstrip with his '71 "Judgement Day" LeMans. It's powered by a 428/434, factory cast-iron heads, a Turbo 400, and 4.10 gears.
Jim May
Jim, a 62-year-old tool-truck operator (shown here with his son, Andy), has been racing for four years. He bought his '64 LeMans in 2005 because he "had the parts to build a race car." It's special to him because he "loves its look." His favorite moment in it is "the first time strapping in the seat at the track." Jim has a herd of Goats in his collection, including a '67 convertible and hardtop, two '66 hardtops, and a '70 hardtop and convertible.

Joe Camp
Joe, now 55 years old, started drag racing in 1975 with his first car—a '68 GTO. He bought his current race car, "Judgement Day," in 1998. It's special to him because "it's a lot of fun to drive," he says. His favorite moment in it was winning its class at Pontiac Heaven in 2003. Joe also owns a '65 GTO hardtop and two '62 Catalinas, one of which his wife races.

At the Track
Jim May
Jim spent last winter installing a ladder bar suspension and transbrake onto his LeMans. He arrived at our Shootout to get some seat time with the new parts. "I expected it to run 10.80s in the hot Norwalk day," he says.
For his first pass, he launched at 3,400 rpm, crossed the 60-foot in 1.50 seconds, and recorded a 10.89-second e.t. at 121.69 mph. His e.t. prediction was spot-on.
"I thought my LeMans was running a little too rich, and I could improve its times by installing No. 78 jets and leaning it out," he says. Contrary to his theory, his next two passes showed no improvement. "I think I pushed the fuel delivery overly lean," he says.
To correct the issue, he installed No. 84 jets prior to his fifth pass, and proceeded to earn his best run of the day—a 10.82-second e.t. at 122.71 mph. "My LeMans is very consistent, but I'm still learning how to use jet changes to accommodate for track conditions," he explains.
Jim says he had "a very good time" at our event, and that his LeMans "hooked well and went straight."
Joe Camp
While racing his LeMans at the 2010 Ames Performance Tri-Power Pontiac Nationals, Joe broke an axle on a hard launch and the momentum sent his car into the concrete wall. It took him two years to rebuild the car; during the process, he swapped out his 12-bolt rear for a Ford 9-inch, and upgraded his springs and shocks. His goal for our Shootout was to see if the new setup would improve his 60-foot times and keep his car steering straight.
For his first pass, he launched at 3,000 rpm, sailed past the 60-foot in 1.57 seconds, and crossed the beams in 11.10 seconds at 115.37 mph. "It was the first time since the wreck that I had my GTO back on the track," Joe recalls. "I didn't know how it would respond, but it turned out to be a good run."
For his next three passes, Joe and his GTO performed better and better, lowering e.t.'s and picking up mph. By his fourth pass, he had clicked off a 10.95-second e.t. at 123 mph, earning him his best time of the day.
How did he do it? "I think I just needed to get used to the car again, and that's reflected in the lower e.t.'s later in the day," he says. Tire pressure may also be a contributing factor, as the LeMans began performing more favorably after he lowered the tire pressure from 12 psi to 8.5 psi. Since he didn't raise the tire pressure again after finding the LeMans' sweet spot, he'll have to test our hypothesis on another trip to the track.
So did Joe's new rear end and suspension earn him lower e.t.'s? "No," he says. "I really thought the new combo would shave off some tenths, but my GTO is performing nearly identical to prior to the 2010 wreck."
When asked about the event, Joe says the Shootout was "very relaxed," and he was pleased that he had the opportunity to "make plenty of passes."
This month's Shootout participants both run in the 10s, but dramatically different combos get them there. Their vehicle weights are significantly different, too. By comparing both drivers' Strip Specs, you can see how they achieved similar e.t.'s against each other, nonetheless.
Like Jim and Joe, you may want your Pontiac to break into the 10s, and discover that a bored-out 455 block is not the only starting point to reach your goal. We're sure the cars and combos detailed in this story will give you plenty of ideas for your project.
HPP would like to thank the management and crew at Summit Motorsports Park for their assistance in making this Shootout possible; and John Labuda, Arnie Brewer, and Billy Farrell who helped make the day go much more smoothly.
Weather Report
The temperature at Summit Motorsports Park ranged from 73 to 87 degrees. Barometric pressure was measured at 29.93 hg and the dew point was 57.9 degrees. The track is 853 feet above sea level and density altitude ranged from 2,177 to 3,073 feet. We'll give each racer his own correction factor based upon the density altitude at the time of his best pass. Jim's best pass occurred at 3:09 p.m.; Joe's best pass occurred at 3:07 p.m. The density altitude for both racers was 2,906 feet. The correction factors are designed to chart the theoretical best performance at sea level and will be done on the best pass only, based on e.t.

Moves Into pretty little liars season 2 dvd
The show is about a group of four geeks who live and work at CalTech. They are one day joined by a buy dvd cheap dvd Penny, played by Kaley Cuoco when she moves into a nearby apartment. If I were being ultra critical I would say that these guys are a bit too good looking to be believably considered as real geeks (not these new "geek-chic" ones you get). And if someone could tell the studio audience to calm down, that would also please me they are a bit too enthusiastic for my liking. A bit of decorum, please! Or, basically, dvd. So when a pretty blonde named Penny moves in the apartment across the hall, the guys decide to get an education outside of the classroom. Boys, you have a lot to learn. With series pretty little liars season 2 dvd Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men) and Bill Prady (The Gilmore Girls) concocting the right mix of logic and lunacy and stars Johnny Galecki (Roseanne) and Jim Parsons (Judging Amy) turning geekdom into Phi Beta fun, The Big Bang Theory is big on laughs. And life. The first is the show's signature theme song by Barenaked Ladies, which is heard during the opening titles and, in an instrumental dvd, over the closing credits. The sound engages the entire 5.1 system and fills the listening space, with solid bass extension. The second element is the graphic featuring planetary (or molecular) rotation that is used as a transition between scenes. The accompanying audio also reaches out into the listening space with a deep rumble, creating a sonic one tree hill season 9 dvd to accompany the visual one. I never saw one episode of the big bang dvd until a month ago. It was so funny I decided to take a chance on it.
