In today's digital world, this growth is driving the need for new thoughts around the cost and complexity of managing storage, a desire for hyper efficiency to get the absolute most out of storage resources is now the norm. This requires new inventions in storage techniques and data analytics. You have likely heard of cloud. In fact, you probably back up some portion of your data to a cloud service today, either from your personal computer, tablet, or smart phone. These services enable self-service delivery of storage and are built on an integrated, optimized infrastructure. Services like these are a model for doing business that can be translated into datacenters all over the world.
The IBM SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center is the cornerstone of our storage cloud services because it enables users to easily migrate to an agile, cloud-based storage environment—and then to manage it effectively. VSC delivers unique capabilities for our customers including automated provisioning of virtual storage resources pooled across heterogeneous storage platforms, built-in efficiency features that remove traditional barriers to increase the utilization of your existing storage assets, and non-disruptive data mobility so that your data is available no matter where you are. Storage can be provisioned directly from a catalog in a self-service fashion and then placed on the appropriate class of storage based on the required characteristics of the workload, with integrated data protection and resiliency to match service level requirements. As workload characteristics change over time, VSC can help reduce costs by migrating less critical data to less expensive media.
A large United Kingdom-based investment and insurance company recently implemented IBM SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center to build a more flexible, automated approach to managing data that they had not previously been able to. Their IT department is now able to offer an improved service to all lines of business at a far lower cost. They have been able to reduce the amount of physical disk drives they will need to invest in moving forward, while improving performance, which has allowed them to redistribute their IT budget into other key areas.
Here in the United States, one of our major telecom providers has been leveraging Virtual Storage Center to increase the utilization of their storage assets to over 80%, while reducing their reliance on tier 1 storage to greatly improve their total cost of ownership. In addition, they have been able to automate many of the manual tasks associated with managing their enterprise data center, freeing IT resources to focus on strategic initiatives.
IBM SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center has experienced a meteoric rise within our storage software portfolio, with over 60 new customers in just one quarter of general availability. This integrated approach to dealing with the major obstacles in enterprise data centers has been well received by analysts and customers alike. Leveraging key capabilities from our existing storage software portfolio, built on years of experience and leadership, IBM SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center has helped customers address the demands of rapid storage growth and provide built in resiliency to ensure 24x7 operations.

NEW YORK (AP) — The storm bearing down on the East Coast could scuttle a major Big Apple Thanksgiving tradition — the big balloons at the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Wind regulations say the balloons don't fly if sustained winds exceed 23 mph and gusts exceed 34 mph.

text: By Tim LinscottManaging Editor A solid core of returning letter-winners and seniors will help condition, train and provide leadership for Perkins County cross country coach Paula Wurst this season. "Our seniors are good kids and will help the younger runners as the season progresses," Wurst said. Returning letterwinners are Courtney Lyon, Brady Mailand, Coy Aerni, Emily Kemling and Kendra Hoffert. There are 12 total runners this year, eight boys and four girls. Half of the team has not had long distance running experience before. The first priority coming into the season for Wurst and crew has been conditioning. "Without a good base of conditioning, we can't move up the ladder," Wurst said. "Figuring out the race is important right now, too." With runners just breaking into the sport, Wurst is adjusting her coaching style to play to the strengths of the individuals involved. "All runners are different. Every season I adjust because every runner brings a different strength to the team," Wurst said. The team's strength thus far has been the attitude displayed by the runners. "These kids are very excited to be out there and they are very positive, enthusiastic and they try hard," Wurst said. Last year the girls team finished 10th at state and Wurst has a goal of getting runners to the state meet every year.

Today, while working on Client Reference for Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack, I wanted to read more about this product and related case studies; reading materials of which were, of course, just a few clicks away. And, with a few more clicks and flips from one story to another I found myself glued to this one, "The Austin Diagnostic Clinic recovers critical data in less than an hour with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack software", which I feel is worth sharing here.
"Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack has
proven to be an outstanding solution for ADC and helps us to readily meet HIPAA
requirements regarding timely access to data."
— Ned Euwer, Systems and Network Engineer, The Austin Diagnostic Clinic
Well, the quote by Ned Euwer, above, must have already given you a glimpse of what the success story is all about. Yes, it's about how our product 'Tivoli Storage Manager Fastback' helped our client, 'The Austin Diagnostic Clinic ,' to overcome their business challenge of maintaining the availability of electronic medical records and develop a disaster-recovery plan that would help staffs quickly restore services in the event of a disaster.
The Austin Diagnostic Clinic (ADC), founded in 1952, operates medical clinics in Texas. A leading influence in healthcare, ADC allows its patients to gain access to a network of more than 110 physicians representing 23 medical specialties across six offices located throughout Austin and Central Texas. To support this major healthcare network, ADC's IT operations encompass 110 servers, with 80 running Microsoft® Windows® 2003 Server and 30 running Windows 2000 operating systems. Numerous applications, the largest being an electronic medical record (EMR) system, help ADC to deliver high quality care while reducing healthcare costs. And, according to Ned Euwer, ADC's entire operation is dependent on having medical records available 24x7 and the loss of EMR would cost them up to half a million dollars per day.
Hence, given the impact of data loss, ADC's challenge lied on addressing its backup and recovery issues. Apparently, this is where our IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack (formerly FilesX Xpress Restore) came as just the perfect solution to overcome ADC's challenge. Today, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack software has been integral to the organization's consolidation initiative, that helped IT staff to recover much needed floor space in its data center and reduce power consumption, by protecting 43 servers and approximately 2.5 terabytes of data, covering e-mail, file and print services, domain controllers and the organization's core applications and image stores. The software is also installed for disaster recovery at a remote-campus facility to help IT staff protect the organization against site disasters. The key benefits include: Addressing stringent recovery objectives, Rapidly restoring data and services, Reducing backup windows, Protecting operations in the event of a disaster, and Helping simplify operations.
Interestingly, ADC staff can also set up new test systems within a day so that the testing of new applications and services can begin sooner. This has decreased testing time by up to 75 percent with testing processes now completed in just one month as compared to between three and four months, which, I find, is highly commendable given that "Health is Wealth".
Since, our health and well being is the primary driver for our growth and development, it makes sense that we would wish to live in a world of highly organized healthcare system. Use the comments section to discuss your thoughts on this success story or discuss how "Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack" is helping you organize and manage your environment.

What about scattering a bunch of them in that lower-central ocean, between the two southern continents? That way the whole upper left quadrant of the map is left open for a cartouche/legend/title to balance out the map without artificially inducing too much symmetry in the landforms.

I'm kinda nervous, not much. Just need some advice on what to do and what not to do.

Take the painkillers.
Don't sit at a Royals game in 105 degree heat index the day after..... Even if you feel fine.
Everything everyone told me was that is isn't a big deal at all and that they barely had any troubles, and as long as you avoid dry socket you are fine. I ended up pretty miserable for a week. My recovery was the longest I have heard of. I didn't get dry socket either, so I think I am pretty unique in that it wasn't a very good experience. I tend to bruise easily so maybe it had to do with that. All four of mine were beneath the gums also which may be relevant.
Don't be worried about going under at all, that's the really easy part. Breath the laughing gas heavily haha. I didn't eat for just about 2 days after they pulled them, I think it may have been to swallowing blood that leaks a bit. Don't remove your gauze until you are sure it is clotted. That's about it I think.
Oh yeah and take all the pills they give you as directed because even if you feel fine once they wear off you will probably be in pain, and it will take an hour or so to kick in. So be preemptive in that way.
Mine weren't that bad even though one came out in pieces. Mostly slept the rest of the day, and good to go the next.
It's a pretty simple process. Just don't plan on doing too much over the next couple days.
Get a D.D. and get ice cream after. I'm sure my dad had a good laugh watching ice cream dribble down my half paralyzed face when I was younger...I just didn't care though. it was delicious and the most soothing it had ever been in my life.
That first 2 hours after you get home are the worst. You don't feel like doing anything at all, not even sleep. Once you get past that its alright other than the eating thing.
If you're getting knocked out for it, you'll be fine. I couldn't eat any solids for a couple days but other than that, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Get ready for milkshakes, jello, pudding and ice cream.
Thanks for the advice. I had a pectis excavatum at age 13 (google it, or YouTube it if your not queasy). And that was deep anesthetia. Just a different expierience with less anesthetia.
Got dry socket in the one that grew in sideways. Only had 3, other 2 were under the gums. Didn't need to get them out but did because once in a while my sideways tooth would cause a little bleeding when I ate. Dry socket is terrible, if you've ever chipped a tooth and then had cold liquid hit it, it feels like that x10 and lasts about a minute instead of a few seconds. My sister had hers out today, she has been fine so far. Tomorrow she can eat soft foods.
hope you get a good surgeon.

My only issue was getting Mac and Cheese noodles inside the holes where my wisdom teeth used to be. Talk about annoying.
Don't be a *****. Got mine out in the morning. Ate a cheeseburger and played golf that afternoon. Its all about your mindset.

Well my dad got his out and he drove himself home then went to his UFC match, beating Muhammad Ali. So you're the *****.

Royals Return Home
Today's entry will be an attempt to catch our readers up with some of the happenings around the Royals lately. So here it goes:
DAYTON UPDATE: Readers are anxiously awaiting Dayton's response to your questions and we should have those by the end of the week. We've had quite a few questions and we should be able to get that finalized shortly.
RETURNING HOME: The Royals returned home today to start a 7-game homestand against the red-hot Minnesota Twins (20-2 in the last 22 games) and Toronto Blue Jays. The homestand started with some bad news as RHP Mike Wood had to be placed on the 15-day Disabled List with back inflammation. RHP Joe Nelson was called up in his place. RHP Luke Hudson will take Wood's spot in the rotation and will start against the Blue Jays on Friday.
INTERLEAGUE RECAP: For those of you that haven't heard, the American League dominated the National League this season in Interleague play, posting a 154-98 record. Kansas City enjoyed its best season ever against the N.L., going 10-8. The Central was particularly successful against the N.L., logging a 63-27 record.
- Minnesota 16-2
- Detroit 15-3
- Chicago 14-4
- Kansas City 10-8
- Cleveland 8-10
- Total 63-27
DEJESUS ON FIRE: The Royals recent turnaround has been in large part to the return of David DeJesus. KC is 16-16 since he returned from the D.L. on May 29. DeJesus has been impressive, hitting .350 (43-123) with 25 runs and 12 RBI during that stretch.
REDMAN AN ALL-STAR: As you probably have seen on our site, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen named Mark Redman to the All-Star squad this season. Redman was named to the team after posting a 5-0 record and a 4.42 ERA (38.2 IP, 19 ER) in his last six outings. It is just the 11th time a Royals starter has attended the All-Star game and the first time since Jose Rosado in 1999.
SIT IN THE PAVILION! The Royals have announced that single-game tickets can be purchased to the Watson's Pavilion in left field for the nights of July 3-5 for $25. Fans get access to great seats and the hot tub for a great price!
SIGNING UPDATE: We've received a number of emails from fans wanting to know the status on our draft picks. Well, the scouting department has been very busy and has signed every pick between the second and 17th rounds, as well as 21-23, 31 and 50. Hope that helps!
9 Comments
Mark Redman allstar- you must be so proud-I haven't felt this way since Ellie Rodriguez-
keep blowing smoke by all means your credibility is already 0
How about that Joe Nelson?
most players would be thrilled to be called up to the majors. Once! but Three times, WOW! Great move Mr MOORE. Good outing tonight Joe. 3 up 3 down 2 K's, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, GO ROYALS!
It is good to see David DeJesus playing well lately.
Like former centerfielders Beltran and Damon, are the Royals going to lose DeJesus to NY and Boston in the future?
Good luck to Mark Redman at the All-Stars game!
Have the Royals sign the 2006 first round draft pick, Luke Hochevar (sp?), yet?
Congrats to Redman for getting the all star nod.
How many games can the Royals literally throw away due to wild pitches late in close games? Is it the catchers or pitchers?
Hey Glass,
Sell the Royals.
DeJesus has been playing extremely well lately. Hope he can keep it up!
You know, when I first read about this blog it reeked of the type of PR bandaid my hometown Portland Trailblazers have tried to pull on its fans for the past decade, but….
I have to say Im impressed. Im not sure which of Mr. Moore's interns is writing this blog, but I am myopic and loyal enough to enjoy checking in here to get Royals news that doesnt always hit the print media.
I like the new direction-
Okay Dayton heres an idea trade Grudz. to the cards. because they want him back and turn it into a three way deal and get M. Albers from Corpus Crispi. He is a young pitcher with some talent that could help in the future.
Hey whats up guys? You rock. I just want to say u guys are my favorite team and u always will be. If you lose 100 games or 50 you're always going to be my favorite team. I also wanted to say that DAVID DEJESUS and EMIL BROWN, you guys are my favorite players, keep doin what your doin. also keep up the great work TEAHEN. YOU GUYS ROCK, ALL OF YOU, THE WHOLE TEAM.

Facebook's newsfeed is where users can see pictures, get news articles, see status updates. But founder Mark Zuckerberg wants your newsfeed to look more like a newspaper.
So, just like any other online publication, there will be a section for pictures and a section for music and news articles in a different section.
New Facebook Newsfeed
If you just want to see pictures, a photos only feed will show your friends' pictures from Facebook and Instagram. A music feed would show what your friends are listening to, and posts from bands you like, a friends feed shows your friends status updates, and a "following' feed shows news articles, posts from celebrities, sports teams and businesses you subscribe to.
"We've tried different versions of a photos feed in the past, but we've never had a design that was as vibrant and immersive as what you see today," says Chris Struhar, the Tech Lead at Facebook.
Another big change is that, instead of a different look for different devices, the news feed will now look the same no matter what you're viewing it on -- computer or mobile device.
So, why make these changes? Zuckerberg says it was time for an upgrade but it also benefits advertisers on the site. The new design is expected to keep users online longer.
Unhappy with the new look? You can keep the old for a while. This new news feed is optional and anyone who wants to switch has to get on a waiting list.

1940 Ford Panel - Delivery Dancin' In The Desert's DuskWritten by on August 1, 2005 Contributors: Rich Boyd Kathy & Charlie Knoedler's Delicious '40 Ford Panel Delivery
Due to their relative scarcity and brawny styling, panel deliveries seem to pick up a fair share of attention at vintage custom truck shows. The ratio of show pickups to panels must be 10:1. When we run across one that's exceptionally well done, we take notice.
A year ago, we spotted Ron Segal's '40 Ford panel delivery at the Goodguys West Coast Nationals in Pleasanton, California. Despite the fact that his hauler won the Cool Commercial prize, it wasn't quite finished. We recently scheduled a shoot for another of Ron's vehicles and found out he was in the process of selling his freshly completed Ford.
We decided to take a gander at that delivery the next day, while picking up another Segal hot rod hauler to be photo'd at the Primedia studio. Needless to say, we were smitten. You can see where this is going. We raced the sunset and snapped an abundance of photographs while we enjoyed what photographers refer to as magic light. Magic light-that time of twilight in morn or night where deeply saturated colors and the horizon meld into what CCT's Editor describes as "visual ecstasy"-the best for creating appealing images. In concert with the setting sun, the desert landscape aided our effort in capturing one of Ford's finely styled trucks.
It started at RC Classics, in Palm Desert, California, where several craftsmen collaborated to create the '40. RC's owner, R.C. Lindly, boxed the original frame its entire length, before adding a '78 Camaro front clip and a 4.11:1-geared '78 Camaro differential. Augmented by drilled, polished stainless disc-brake rotor covers and fed through stainless steel brake lines, the Camaro's disc brakes were utilized, front and rear. R.C. fabricated a 12-gallon stainless steel fuel tank, which he located between the rear framerails behind the rearend and plumbed with stainless fuel lines.
Wayne's Engineering in Riverside built a 383ci Chevy stroker engine for installation in the completed chassis. Ported heads, an Edelbrock four-barrel carb and Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake manifold, and a Pete Jackson gear drive made the powerplant plenty stout. Backed by a Hayden trans-cooler- enhanced TH350, the trans was also optimized with a B&M shift improvement kit and a 2,000-stall converter.
The owner next towed the delivery to Sledsville Hot Rods & Kustoms in Riverside, California, for the extensive bodywork. Sledsville chopped the top, shaved the door handles, leaded the fenders, and prepped all the exterior panels for paint. Their work complete, Stan Howton, owner of Howton's Signs & Lines in nearby Beaumont, beautified the hauler with several coats of House of Kolors Tangerine, before clearing the topcoats.
Being a retired rodeo cowboy and lifelong horseman and rancher, Ron wanted the interior to have a western theme. He entrusted Eddie Ledesma, owner of American Auto Upholstery in Corona, with trimming the cabin in cream leather and tan suede, replete with custom-stitched longhorn steers. Like all the saddles he has used, two colors of thread were employed throughout the custom stitchwork. Once Eddie was done, Ron delivered the '40 back to RC Classics for fitment of the Vintage Air and stereo system, thus bringing the truck's construction to completion.
We've known Ron Segal for years now. He has been involved in the vintage automotive hobby for 40 years, and has owned many sweet custom vintage trucks and street rods. He never seems able to hang on to them for too long. In that regard, perhaps his habit of buying, building, collecting, and selling are akin to the cowboys of yore, who moved from ranch to ranch for the next big cattle drive or ill-tempered bronc' to bust. After riding in the same saddle for a while, Ron has to get a different one to make his own. The '40's current caretakers are Ron's good friends, Charlie and Kathy Knoedler. They're the beneficiaries of Ron's restless nature to create and ride something new/old. When you see Ron's current steed, we're guessing you'll be equally impressed. Stay tuned.

The first thing people usually notice about me is my hair. All my life I've been known as the redhead, the ginger one, the carrot top. As a child, in the school playground, my classmates jokily teased me about my long-flowing golden-orange locks. As I got older, a short walk down the street might incite the occasional cheeky builder to heckle, "Oi, Red!" I've experienced the whole spectrum – mild teasing to flat-out bulling – thanks to the pale skin, freckles, and ginger hair caused by a mutation in my MC1R gene. But since I moved to America, my hair has attracted attention in different ways.
On this side of the pond, I rarely get heckled or teased for my red hair. Instead, curious Irish-Americans ask whether I am 'from their homeland.' Well-groomed ladies sometimes inquire if my hair is "all natural," and if not, which salon offers this shade in… Read more

|Rocky Mountain News final edition printed during CPA convention
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Newspaper personnel from across the state gathered at the 2009 Colorado Press Association (CPA)annual convention at the Brown Palace in Denver Feb. 26-28, celebrating 131 years in newspapers.
Ironically, at the onset of the convention Thursday, announcement was made that Friday's edition would be the last for Denver's almost 150-year-old Rocky Mountain News.
It wasn't a complete surprise, as owners stated a couple of months ago that the paper was for sale and if a buyer wasn't found, it could mean the end. But the reality of a fellow paper in the press association publishing its last edition hit convention-goers hard. It hit the nation hard.
Rocky Mountain News editor and publisher John Temple was the scheduled speaker at the Friday noon Capitol Hill luncheon. It gave the newspaper world a bit of a chance to say farewell.
Copies of the Rocky's Feb. 27 final edition were at each seat as Colorado legislators and state executive branch officials joined CPA representatives at the noon luncheon.
Other convention activity included advertising, reporting/writing and multimedia sessions on Saturday, a state of the industry panel on Friday, as well as a Freedom of Information session Friday afternoon.
Newspaper representatives moved forward, continuing to seek knowledge and to refuel with input from such session leaders as Pulitzer prize winner Jim Sheeler and advertising consultant Jeff Greene.
Networking was alive and well as publishers, reporters, ad reps and circulation representatives all shared ideas and programs.
Enterprise receives two awards
At the awards program which concluded the convention Saturday, The Holyoke Enterprise received two awards for Class 2 Weeklies, circulation 1,751-4,000. Judging this year's contest was the Oregon Press Association.
Third-place honors for "Best Headline Writing" were earned for a staff entry, which included six selected headlines from the contest year Sept. 1, 2007-Aug. 31, 2008.
Publisher Brenda Brandt received a second-place award for "Best Sustained Coverage" for coverage of the Holyoke School District's study and implementation of random drug testing.
Attending the awards program and Saturday sessions were Brandt and News Editor April Peregoy.
Brandt elected secretary
At the annual CPA business meeting Friday morning, Brandt was elected secretary of the board for 2009-2010. She was originally appointed to the board in September of 2007, and elected last February.

Cost of Attendance
Determining Your Cost of Attendance
A standard student budget is constructed for all financial aid recipients, which includes the average cost associated with attending City College of San Francisco. Average student's costs for various categories in budgets are developed by the Financial Aid Office using surveyed information provided by the California Student Aid commission and the Chancellor's Office for California Community Colleges.
Standard student budgets are constructed recognizing different cost for three categories of students. Those living at home, those living away from home, and those attending less than half-time (less than half-time budgets are used to determine Federal Pell eligibility only). Non-resident students will have the cost of tuition added as a budget component to determine loan eligibility.

WEBSTER GROVES, Mo. (KSDK) - A St. Louis County lunch lady says giving free food to a needy child led to her being fired.
Dianne Brame had worked in the cafeteria at Hudson Elementary in the Webster Groves School District for the last three years.
This fall she noticed the family of a fourth grader on the free lunch program hadn't renewed his eligibility and the child wasn't coming to school with money to pay for lunch. Brame says the boy's mother doesn't speak English and probably couldn't understand the paperwork.
Brame tells NewsChannel 5 the child was supposed to be reduced to a cheese sandwich and a carton of milk for lunch. But she worried he'd be made fun of by the other students.
So instead, Brame gave him regular meals, for free, for nearly two months. A co-worker caught on and alerted Chartwells, the food service provider for the Webster Groves School District.
Brame says the company fired her on Tuesday.
"Actually, it was looked upon as stealing because that food wasn't mine to give to that child," said Brame. "I don't necessarily look at it as wrong. I violated my contract with them. I knew the rules and regulations. But I don't think it was wrong to feed that kid."
Chartwells' Regional Vice President, Bruce Norman, couldn't comment on Brame's case except to say there is an investigation to make sure she was treated fairly.
Brame says she accepts responsibility for her actions and despite losing her job, she'd do it all over again if given the chance.
The Webster Groves School District released the following statement Friday:
"Dear Parents and Guardians:
You may have heard television reports last night stating that Chartwells, the district's food service company, fired one of its cafeteria workers at Hudson School for giving free food to a student. The reports were inaccurate. Our understanding is that Chartwells decided to move the individual from Hudson to another location and the employee refused the offer. The Webster Groves School District was not informed about the decision and had no part in making it. We realize that the few details provided about what happened may not clarify the situation to everyone's satisfaction. However, there is more to the story. This is a personnel matter between Chartwells and the employee and confidentiality requirements prevent public discussion of specific issues.
Please know that no child in the Webster Groves School District would go hungry for lack of payment. We take care of our families when informed of such situations. We are meeting with Chartwells to discuss their ongoing investigation and will share further developments as they occur. Please know that we care about our children and staff.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA9) -- If you live in the D.C. area, when you think of Argentina, you may think of the restaurant El Patio in Rockville, Maryland.
Many say it's the ultimate authentic spot. So, when Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio became the first Argentinean Pope, people at the restaurant were elated.
Guillermo Ribulotta owns El Patio and he's from Argentina. He found out about Pope Francis over the car radio. He said his phone started ringing and ringing.
"From people saying 'it's an Argentinean Pope, did you know, did you know,' we were not expecting it."
Mircelo Kioufios works at El Patio, and came here from Argentina more than a decade ago, "I'm very proud for my country."
The restaurant is also a hub for those with Argentinean roots.
Fabian Magnacca is a Captain in the Argentinean Navy, and he is familiar with the former Archbishop, "He's a very humble, very humble, very simple man."
Many say he's also a conservative one, which is fine by Ribulotta.
"I'm a little conservative in that sense, so I want change, but not a whole lot of change. We don't want a different Catholic Church."
For these Catholics, it was day to celebrate, bond over food, and discuss a man some are already familiar with.
Ribulotta shared this about Pope Francis, "Now, that he's the pope, he'll be able to guide us through he new century."

Q: I never understand why people paint brick masonry. When brick masonry is painted, it must be maintained more frequently to replace areas of paint that have chipped, peeled, or are otherwise defaced.
Q: I have seen projects where every third brick along the base of the wall is left out of the wall.
Q: We are converting a masonry office building into condominiums. The building is constructed with solid masonry walls that are three and four wythes thick.
Q: Should grout contain any special admixtures when it is used in concrete masonry made with integral water repellent?

A big congrats to Stanislas Wawrinka for taking his chances when the going was good and knocking out Roger Federer in Monte Carlo today.
It was a bittersweet victory for the friend of Fed, however:
I am a bit embarrassed to celebrate it. I believe [Federer] hadn't found his rhythm on clay and he made many errors.
Oh, that's nice and everything Stan but stop being so Swiss and celebrate damnit. It's the biggest win of your career, friend or not. You can kiss and make up later. And if you do, please photograph and send it my way. For my private collection. I swear.

Installing Offset Hangers & Shackles - Move It, BuddyWritten by on March 1, 2003 MP's Spring-Relocation Kit Offers Room For More Rubber
It's nice to have power, but getting it to the ground is just as important when taking out the guy in the other lane. We've all heard stories of big-power cars turning meek numbers, along with the excuses for getting smoked halfway down the quarter. Burning rubber makes for an impressive show, but getting a car down the track in a timely manner requires hooking. It takes a lot to get a car to hook, and one thing that always helps is more tire.
Most Mopars are endowed with generous wheelwells-some better than others-but with some body styles, you run out of clearance to the suspension before the wheelwell is used up. This is because Mopar mounted the leaf springs to the outside of the framerail. Look at the rear leaf-spring suspension of an A- or E-Body Mopar and you'll see some real estate left between the spring and rail that can be used advantageously.
Mopar racers have long been aware of the clearance to be gained by relocating the leaf springs. Mopar Performance has been producing kits for years for this purpose. Essentially, there are two approaches: Offset the spring as close to the framerail as possible; or, move the spring into the rail. The spring-offset kit will move the spring back in line with the factory inner-wheel tub so the spring is no longer the primary limitation on clearance. It allows the full width of the factory wheelwell to be used. The other approach-moving the spring into the framerail-sets the springs about 3-inches inboard from their factory location. While this moves the spring well out of the way, utilization of the extra space requires either extensive modification of the factory wheelwells ("mini-tubs"), or the fitment of aftermarket "tubs."
We wanted more tire clearance in our '68 Barracuda, so we considered the options. The spring-in-the-rail package could provide room for massive meats, but "tubbing" the car comes with big compromises on this body style. The fastback body's interior is much like that of a station wagon, and the interior panels are hard-up against the factory wheelhouses. Reworking or "tubbing" the body means modifying or removing the stock interior panels-a compromise of originality we didn't want to make. Also unique to this body style are the folding trunk-divider panel and fold-down rear seat, which we had, although they weren't installed in the car. Once the inner well was widened, we could forget about reinstalling any of these pieces.
Instead of such radical surgery, we opted for the spring offset kit. Although the offset kit wouldn't yield as great a clearance as would be accomplished by moving the springs into the rail and adding tubs, it would add about 3/4 inch of tire clearance to the inside, which is a substantial gain. Best of all, once installed, there are no compromises to the look or structure of the car. The offset spring kit took a weekend to install, and we upgraded to an 8 3/4 rear and polyspring bushings at the same time. Now all we need to do is find some bigger meats to use all that extra space.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The spring-eye bolt location is higher up than the stock location. With the rear shackles being a little longer and the front bracket a little higher, the net effect on ride height is canceled, but the geometric change will increase the suspension's dynamic rise under acceleration, helping to plant the tires.To move the springs inboard, the rearend needs to come out. Our '68 Barracuda came with the light-duty 7 1/4 rear, which we will swap for a beefier 8 3/4 unit. Support the car with jackstands under the rear framerails and lower the rear to allow the suspension to droop.The offset front-spring hanger moves the edge of the bracket against the framerail. Note the relative position of the bracket's edge versus the mounting bolts. The nut for the spring-eye bolt comes welded to the bracket since there's no room to reach it once the bracket is installed.Next, the shocks are unbolted at the lower mounts. Then the shock plates and U-bolts are removed and the rear is ready to come out. Raise the floor jack under the rear to separate it from the springs.To make way for removing the rear, unbolt the rearspring shackle brackets. Two bolts at the frame are all that hold them in.The front-spring hanger bolts through with four more bolts at the chassis' spring box. Zip those out and the springs are free.
We swapped to polyurethane bushings, which are firmer and give a harder hit off the line than the stock rubber bushings. The poly bushings are an easy hand install. Just lube 'em and slide the two halves in place. A steel tube slides in the center for the bolt.Since the front hanger bracket will be hard against the framerail, clearance must be made for the spring-eye nut on the backside. There are several ways to cut the clearance. We carved this slot using an aggressive carbide burr in a die grinder. The slotted shape (or a really big hole) is required to allow the bracket's mounting studs to slide into place.Tucked away in the shop was a fresh A-Body, 8 3/4 rear assembly. We had rebuilt the unit, thinking it may come in handy one day. Inside are new 4.10:1 gears, a new Auburn Sure Grip, Moser hardened big bolt-pattern axles offset for B-Body brakes, and 11x2 1/2-inch drum brakes rebuilt with all new parts.With the springs prepped and the new offset pieces installed, we bolted them in place. Notice how the front hanger is right against the rail. Visible is the front of the slot cut to clear the pivot nut.The spring perches on the rear needed to be relocated to match the new spring position. The rear was supported securely with jackstands under the tubes, and adjusted until level with a screw jack at the pinion nose.We moved the perches about 11/16 inch per side from the stock location. Measure carefully, keeping the perches at the correct angle and the same distance from each housing end. As a consideration for drag racing, we changed the pinion angle about two degrees further downward.Next the angle of the original perches was measured so the replacements could be installed at the same relative angle to the pinion.We did notice that the perches had a larger center hole than the pilot size at the leaf springs' center bolts. We whittled up these little tube adapters to make up the size difference and positively locate the rear to the springs. We tack-welded them in place over the center bolt.
The 8 3/4's axle tubes measure 3 inches, while the 7 1/4's are a puny 2 1/2 inches. This necessitates changing the shock plates and U-bolts. We pulled a used set out of a box of miscellaneous rear-end brackets.The 8 3/4 rear is 2.26 inches longer from the U-joint flange to the axle centerline, requiring a shorter driveshaft. Normally this would require a trip to the driveline shop, but luckily we had the old shaft from our 8 3/4-equipped Duster, which was just the correct length. It even had the 7260/7279 adapter U-joint we needed to adapt our small U-joint driveshaft to the new rear's large U-joint yoke.

PCC in the News
News: Football's Sack Master Pierson Commits To Iowa State
Pasadena City College All-State defensive end Dalyou Pierson accepted a scholarship to attend Iowa State University in the Big 12 Conference. Pierson led the SCFA in sacks with 11.5 as a sophomore in 2012 and was a two-time, All-National Northern Conference selection for the Lancers.
From Independence High in Bakersfield, the 6-foot-2, 260-pound Pierson developed into one of the state's top pass rushers in his two seasons. Pierson finished his Lancers career with 14 quarterback sacks and 28 total tackles for loss. He made 112 total tackles in his two seasons at PCC.
Pierson will play as an incoming junior for Cyclones head coach Paul Rhoads. He is one of two 2013 Lancers to join NCAA major university programs with PCC offensive lineman Miguel Machado landing at Michigan State.
Pierson is the first Lancer to commit to Iowa State since Emmanuel Valcourt in 2000. Pierson played under PCC head coach Fred Fimbres.

Padres defeat Cubs for series split
CHICAGO It's a funky statistic that popped up again in what Padres manager Bud Black called a "good funky" win.
More often than not, when Eric Stults starts, the Padres win. He might not win, but his team does.
Thursday afternoon, for example, the Padres scored four runs with two outs in the top of a strange eighth inning at Wrigley Field to defeat the Chicago Cubs 4-2 and gain a split of a four-game series.
Officially, reliever Joe Thatcher was credited with his second win of the season. The Padres were behind 2-0 when Stults departed.
But Thursday marked the fourth time this season that the Padres have won a game started by Stults. In games started by other starters this season, the Padres are 7-15. And in 20 games started by Stults since he joined the rotation last season, the Padres are 14-6.
Stults official record as a starter: 2-2 this season and 10-5 as a Padre. And here's the other part: As a Padre, Stults has a lower earned run average on the road (2.87) than he has at Petco Park (4.44).
"Eric knows how to work his way through a game," Padres manager Bud Black explained. "He battles. He's got a good head on his shoulders. If he's not ahead, he's working to keep it close and give us a chance."
"The team record is really all that matters," Stults said Thursday after the Padres ran their record to 6-2 over the last eight games. "You'd love to have good stats. But sometimes it's the battle."
For 6 ½ innings in a match of left-handers, Stults battled Cubs starter to a scoreless draw. Both pitchers were aided by a 20-mph wind blowing in from center that made the 45-degree game temperature feel more like freezing.
But in the bottom of the seventh, former Padre Scott Hairston – whose forte he hitting left-handed pitching – followed a broken bat single by Wellington Castillo with a two-run homer into the left field seats.
With the way Wood was going, 2-0 seemed like 10-0 to a Padres team that had two hits in seven innings against Wood and had five hits over the previous 16 innings while going up-and-down in order 10 times.
Then came the top of the eighth.
"When the wind is blowing straight in or straight out, funny things can happen here," said Black. "We really caught a break there. Some things went our way in the eighth. That was a funky inning."
The Padres scored one run on a dropped fly to short right, another on a passed ball and a third on a 90-foot dribbler toward second.
"At no point in that game, regardless of the score, did it feel out of reach," said Kyle Blanks, who stopped-and-started from third three times before scoring the tying run on a passed ball.
Five straight Padres reached base with two outs in the eighth – the rally beginning with Jesus Guzman's lead-off single against Wood and a walk to Blanks, who earlier ended Wood's bid for a perfect game with a two-out single in the fifth.
Wood then retired Jedd Gyorko and Nick Hundley to move to within an out of getting out of the only jam he faced in the game. At that point, Wood was done in by his defense.
Pinch-hitter Yonder Alonso hit a fly to short right that skipped off the glove of right fielder Julio Borbon for a run-scoring single with Blanks advancing to third with the tying run.
With Chris Denorfia at the plate, reliever Shawn Camp fired a fastball that ticked off the glove of catcher Castillo and rolled to the wall behind the plate. At first, Blanks stopped a third of the way down the line, then broke for the plate with the tying run when Castillo was slow to pursue the errant pitch.

U.S. trade agreements on fast track
October 03, 2011
Reports that President Barack Obama may send free trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama to Congress for consideration this week will be fully embraced by the logistics community.
According to Dan Gardner, Chief Executive Officer, RF International & Ocean World Lines Inc., such a move is long overdue.
"The weak dollar has been a tremendous advantage for U.S. exporters," said Gardner in an interview. "And it demonstrates just how much the world wants Amercian products when they become affordable. Having new markets open up for them now could not be better timed."
The time is good for RF International & Ocean World Lines as well, as it prepares to stage its 2012 Global Trade Symposium in Miami next January.
Through a variety of presentations and panel discussions a distinguished group of senior logistics professionals, carrier executives, government officials, journalists and academics will provide insights into early market indicators for U.S. ocean trade in 2012.
"With an emphasis on shared learning experiences, the dissemination of best-practices and networking, this invitation-only event offers a unique opportunity to gain a comprehensive perspective on the trade patterns that are likely to unfold in the coming year," said Gardner.
Meanwhile, however, the main focus is on getting new trade agreements inked, he added.
"The layers of compliance complexity will be intense, said Gardner, but the work we are doing to make this happen is well worth it. We see a lot of market opportunities it this hemisphere with Panama and Columbia as real game changers. Our nation's relationship with Korea has always been strong, of course."

Late Model Hemi Intake - Mod Man ManiaWritten by on July 30, 2012 The Mod-Man for the late-model Hemi has provisions for vacuum fittings and a factory MAP sensor.
Whether you're into classic or late-model Mopars, there's no doubt that the new 5.7, 6.1, and 6.4 Hemi engines can provide the power to satisfy any enthusiast's need for speed. Though small in displacement when compared to muscle car engines of the '60s and '70s, these new Hemi engines incorporate many features such as roller camshafts and aluminum cylinder heads that just weren't available from the factory on Mopar muscle cars. For this reason, we're seeing more and more late-model Hemi engines not only in LX platform Mopars, but in classic Mopar street and strip cars as well.
When it comes to transplanting Chrysler's new Hemi engine into a vintage Mopar, there are several obstacles that stand in the way. Exhaust, engine mounts, and oil pans are the first considerations, but these issues have been resolved by forward thinking companies eager to embrace the new Hemi engine. TTI now provides headers not only for LX cars with the new Hemi, but for popular classic Mopars as well. And if you're using TTI's headers for your swap, we suggest using their conversion engine mounts as well. Milodon has also stepped up, manufacturing oil pans and systems to make the new Hemi fit classic Mopar body styles with ease. Since the new Hemi was manufactured with coil-on-plug ignition, a decision needs to be made when swapping the new engine into older body styles. While there are distributor conversions available, we've found that MSD's new ignition system does a great job of running the individual coils, without the need of a distributor.
A big issue with swapping a late-model Hemi into an older Mopar has always been the induction system. Our older Mopars are equipped with a fuel system designed for a carburetor (or multiple carbs), and just won't support modern fuel injection. Sure, you can completely modify your car's fuel system with a high-pressure pump, modified fuel tank, return line, and all the necessary electronics to support fuel injection, but there is an easier way. Indy Cylinder Head has designed an intake manifold that not only allows a carburetor to feed the late-model Hemi, but allows for the easy swapping between a single four-barrel, dual-quads, Six Pack, or even a blower. Called the Mod-Man, this intake system revolutionizes feeding a new Hemi with carburetors, and even has provisions to mount the coils on the bottom of the intake for a super-clean look.
Indy's Mod-Man intake is available for many Mopar engines, including the late-model Hemi, and is really a great way to give you options when it comes to installing a new Hemi into an older Mopar. The idea is simple: Manufacture one intake manifold with multiple tops for the various carburetors that are popular with Mopar enthusiasts. If you want the simplicity of a single four-barrel, the Mod-Man can accommodate you. By simply changing the top plate of the intake, you can also bolt up a trio of two-barrel Holleys, or dual four-barrels of your choice. Want over the top looks and power? By attaching the blower top to the Mod-Man you can also supercharge your new Hemi with ease.
We were recently in Indianapolis, and bolted a 6.1 late-model Hemi to the dyno and tested three different tops on the intake. With the Mod-Man already on the engine, we were impressed by how easy and quick it was to swap between the single four-barrel, Six Pack, and dual-quad tops. To reduce the number of fasteners necessary, the Indy design team actually uses the carburetor attaching bolts (or studs) to hold the top to the intake manifold. We easily had all three systems tested in about a half a day, getting horsepower and torque numbers for each configuration.
The engine we used for our testing is a 6.1 Hemi with a stock bottom end, a Milodon oiling system, and is available as a crate engine from Indy's catalog with either stock or CNC ported cylinder heads. A pair of Indy's CNC ported 5.7 heads topped this engine we tested, and Indy advertises this combination on their website at 435 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque when equipped with dual four-barrel carbs. We were eager to see if this engine could back up their claims, and when our dyno session was over, the Indy 6.1 Hemi crate engine with a stock SRT8 camshaft easily exceeded these numbers. Even more impressive, when the Six Pack and single four-barrel were installed, power and torque both remained high. We know you're likely asking why Indy didn't use the 6.1 cylinder head for this application and the reason is simple. 5.7 Hemi heads are less expensive and far more readily available, and with CNC porting they don't have any problem flowing enough air for serious power.
Indy Cylinder Head can provide just the intake manifold, or the intake, carb(s), and even the linkage required as a complete package. We love the optional Six Pack and dual-quad setups, as they not only provide a nostalgic look but improved power over the single four-barrel as well.

When we first saw Indy's new Mod Man intake manifold, we thought it was a great idea. Now that it's available for the late-model Hemi, we just had to test it.1 We recently visited the Indy Cylinder Head shop and had a chance to dyno their 6.1 late-model Hemi engine with the Mod-Man intake manifold. The Mod-Man intake offers great versatility, with easily interchangeable tops to accommodate a single four-barrel, dual-quads, a Six Pack, or even a supercharger.2a The Mod-Man for the late-model Hemi has provisions for vacuum fittings and a factory MAP sensor, and is compatible with either the FAST or MSD ignition controllers.2bIf fuel injection is your style, there is a Mod-Man with provisions for injectors as well.3 A great feature of the Mod-Man for the new Hemi is that it has provisions to hide the coils under the intake manifold. This really cleans up the look of the new Hemi, and simplifies wiring as well.4 The Mod-Man intake consists of a base with an open, single-plane plenum, and interchangeable top plates. Each top incorporates a machined shear plate on the bottom side to aid in even fuel distribution.5a With the single four-barrel, the 6.1 Hemi made a peak torque of 382.4 lb-ft at 5,800 rpm. Peak power was 422.3 horsepower at 5,800 rpm as well.5b Though the peak torque rpm seems high with the single four-barrel, this engine made great torque at much lower rpm as well, and peak numbers would have very likely occurred at a much lower rpm had we utilized a larger carburetor.6 Swapping the top plate of the Mod-Man makes changing the number and type of carburetors feeding the engine easy. The carb studs are utilized to help hold the top plate in place and we had our engine converted from a single four-barrel to a Six Pack in a matter of minutes. With the trio of Holley two-barrels (500 cfm center and 350 cfm outboards) topping our Hemi, we were ready for another dyno pull.
7 With the Six Pack, peak torque of this engine improved to 422.4 lb-ft at 5,500 rpm. Horsepower was up as well at 449.2 at 5,800 rpm, indicating our Hemi liked the increased air flow of the Six Pack.8 Next was the dual four-barrel top and a pair of 500-cfm Edelbrock carbs. The 6.1 made the best power and torque of our dyno session. Indy advertises this crate engine at 435 horsepower, but we easily beat that number during our testing.9 We like the look of dual-quad induction on a Hemi, and the 6.1 crate engine loved having a barrel of carburetion for each runner. Horsepower improved to 465.3 at 6,000 rpm and our peak torque number of 422.5 occurred at 5,100 rpm. This engine idles very smooth and runs clean, making great power on 92 octane gasoline.
