Bell's takes bronze medal at 2013 Great American Beer Festival
A relatively new beer brought home a medal this past weekend from the Great American Beer Festival in Denver.
Sparkleberry Ale - a blend of our Raspberry Ale (made with Michigan raspberries) and Sparkling Ale - was awarded a bronze medal in the fruit beer category.
The beer was introduced at this year's Kalamazoo Pride, of which Bell's was a presenting sponsor. It is a specialty beer and only available on draft.
Per the GABF website:
The Great American Beer Festival awards gold, silver and bronze medals for excellence in 75 beer-style categories but does not necessarily award medals to the top three finishers in a particular category.
When judges decide a category contains three excellent examples of the style, they award gold, silver and bronze medals for the first, second and third place beers, respectively.
This is the latest medal Bell's has been awarded at GABF. In 2011, a sixteen-year-old Expedition Stout was awarded a gold medal in the aged beer category.

William Barber, left, of the NC NAACP and Pastor Mary Petty of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church, center, wave at a rally on Halifax Mall as the Monday protests are held at the General Assembly in Raleigh, NC on Monday, June 3, 2013. More than 100 people have been arrested in the largest demonstrations yet in the state chapter of the NAACP's campaign against the Republican-led General Assembly. Police estimate that roughly 1,000 people attended a rally late Monday afternoon behind the Legislative Building on Halifax Mall. Hundreds later entered the building, with those intending to get arrested wearing green wrist bands. (AP Photo/The News & Observer, Chris Seward) MANDATORY CREDIT
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - More than 70 protesters were handcuffed and taken to jail during the weekly Moral Monday protests at the North Carolina General Assembly, bringing the total number arrested in the current legislative session to about 900.
In a change from past weeks, state House leaders moved their Monday night session to 4 p.m., three hours earlier than typical. That left the protesters massing shortly before 7 in the atrium outside the legislative chambers singing and chanting in a largely empty building.
General Assembly Police Chief Jeff Weaver made no move to force the crowd to disperse until North Carolina NAACP President Rev. William Barber told the protesters to sit on the floor, signaling they intended to stay. Weaver declared the building closed about 7:20 and officers arrested those who remained.

Corvallis, OR (Sports Network) - Devon Collier scored 16 points, leading five
players in double figures, as the Oregon State Beavers captured a 74-66 win
over the Washington Huskies in Pac-12 Conference play at Gill Coliseum.
Collier, who shot 4-of-5 from the floor, added seven rebounds and five assists
for the Beavers (11-8, 1-5 Pac-12) as they snapped a five-game slide. Roberto
Nelson threw in 15 points, although he shot a meager 3-of-14 from the floor.
Joe Burton accounted for 13 points, Eric Moreland 12 points, 10 rebounds and
four blocked shots off the bench, followed by Ahmad Starks with 10 points and
four assists for the hosts.
The Huskies (12-7, 4-2) were paced by C.J. Wilcox who registered a game-high
23 points, Abdul Gaddy posted 14, Scott Suggs 11 and Aziz N'Diaye chipped in
10 points and 10 rebounds as the team had a four-game win streak halted.
OSU ran out to a 10-1 lead to begin the meeting, eventually posting a 34-14
advantage with just over four and a half minutes remaining in the first half.
However, Washington closed the frame on a 15-5 run to make the deficit just 10
points at the break, thanks to a 3-pointer by Gaddy in the final moments.
In the second half the Beavers saw their lead reduced to just a single point a
couple of times, but down the stretch the hosts were able to pull away for the
eight-point win.
Oregon State forced 15 turnovers and also outscored the Huskies at the charity
stripe, 18-7.

Hi all,
i'm working on a Zimbra C.S. 7.0.x and what i'd like to realize is a per-GAL whitelist based on user addressbook. Why to use this? Simple, becouse rbl blocks local delivery for some users that are in customer address book, but last one want to receive email anyway, so I need an easy method (and transparent to customers) that allow messages delivery from whom I've wrote successfully in the past.
My idea is not quiet easy, but not too difficult. Realize an hash file to be compiled in postmap by postfix that allow per-user whitelisting (based on domain GAL).
I've searched for zmprov's command that allow GAL research, but not lucky. This one
zmprov sg <domain> <search>
do something if associated before to a forcedsync with
zmgsautil forceSync -a galsync@<domain> -n <data-source>
but it is dispersive... what I need to find is something like this syntax (ideally, this command doesn't exists indeed)
zmprov GGAAL (something like: get gal address autocomplete list) <firstname.lastname@example.com>
this could be nice, so simply sending standard output to a file, adding "OK" at the end of each line and postmapping this file and inserting this file in hash before rbl rejecting I could teach postfix to delivery anyway if email address or source in blacklisted into an RBL.
Can somebody help me to deploy a similar system, or help me to discover a better use of this practice ?
Best regards all,

Bodine Finishes Runner-up after Intense Michigan Truck Series RaceBlog title (click to edit)
Posted by: lori on Jun 14, 2010
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing
Mooresville, NC (06-13-2010) – Whether the racer was strapped in behind the wheel of a race truck, or the racer was perched atop pit wall waiting for the race truck to slide into the pit stall for service, Saturday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series VFW 200 at Michigan International Speedway was chock full of the action that racers live for. Todd Bodine, current Truck Series points leader, led the most laps in a Germain.com Tundra that was the class of the field. Following a series of restarts in the closing laps that produced some extremely intense racing among the top four drivers, Bodine finished second to fellow Tundra driver Aric Almirola.
"We had a great Tundra today and our Germain Racing pit crew did a great job. Aric (Almirola) was just good at the end when he needed it. We had a great race truck. Today was Camping World Truck Series racing at its finest. That's what it's about and that's why people love to watch our races and come to the races. It's hard-nosed, go get 'em every lap racing and it's a lot of fun," proclaimed Bodine, driver of the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra, following the 100-lap race that concluded with two cautions in the final 20 laps, capping off the event with the feeling of a heat race or showdown.
Crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. enjoyed the racing action and is excited about how Germain Racing's No. 30 Tundra team has been performing as of late. The effort is bigger than just the pit crew, the race team, the guys at the shop or TRIAD…it's about everyone.
"We had the best truck in Texas. We had the best truck again in Michigan. I couldn't be more proud of all the guys that work on our 30 truck. The job these guys do is more than just great pit stops. It's what they do all week long, working with everyone in the Germain Racing shop. All the guys at TRIAD work really hard to put us in position to win every week. I am very proud of the effort going into this team and the results we've been able to get," said Hillman Jr.
The Germain.com Tundra started the race in seventh position, and Bodine locked it into the top-five a few laps into the race, and credited his pit crew with playing a huge role in keeping him up front all day.
"I said it all along and I say it every week, I have the best crew on pit road. They do a great job and they got us off pit road first. On the second run, our Germain.com Tundra was too tight in the middle, then during the last run, it was too tight on exit. That's why I just couldn't roll up outside of Aric there at the end. The crew builds great trucks that are fast off the hauler every week and, knock on wood, we'll keep doing it and keep plugging away and keep getting these top-fives," said Bodine, who has scored eight top-five finishes including one victory in nine races this season.
For all the hard work that Bodine and the Germain.com Tundra crew put into preparing for and executing the VFW 200 race this weekend at Michigan, Bodine says his competitors have been working hard, too, which makes it easier for him to be happy about finishing second rather than taking home the victory.
"We didn't come here to finish second, but we finished second and you have to look at it as a points day. Aric gained a few points on us because he won. We're back in our form. At the beginning of the year we were struggling pretty hard. (Mike Hillman) Jr. and the crew got it figured out and now the trucks are driving incredibly well. It was a good day. Nobody likes to lose. But, unlike a lot of people, I'm not a sore loser. I'm happy for Aric and Billy (Ballew, team owner) and Richie Wauters (crew chief) and the whole bunch. They worked hard. They've proved that they can put any driver in there and win now. That means a lot to a race team and a group of guys that work their guts out every week to put these things on the race track. I'm proud of them to go out there and be able to do that," said Bodine.
The next race on the Truck Series schedule is at Iowa Speedway on July 11th. To keep yourself busy in the coming off-weeks, be sure to look for Germain Racing drivers Zach Germain in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, Michael Annett in NNS and Max Papis in the Sprint Cup Series.
When shopping for your new or used car or truck, head directly to Germain.com to find the perfect vehicle or visit your local Germain dealer in Ohio, Florida, or Arkansas. Germain.com is part of Germain Motor Company, a top-25 automotive retail network with 21 dealerships and more than 60 years of experience.

I'm trying to see how device management works but I'm not able to actually manage my devices. At the moment I'm testing some functions with a Samsung S3 and Android 4.x and a iPhone 3.
Although I'm able to see the device under my users "device list" and mobilesync messages/calendar/etc works fine, I'm not able to successfully use all the other cool features like "block apps", "disable bluetooth", "disable cam", etc.
Please help in how to see what I'm missing and how to diagnose what's actually not working here :)
I'm using Zimbra NE 8.0.6. It's all a test enviroment so "radical-testing" it's ok LOL

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - A Missouri lawmaker wants to move the primary elections for state and federal offices from August to June.
The party primaries for Congress, the Legislature and many statewide offices are now held in even-numbered years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in August.
State Sen. John Lamping says a June primary would give candidates more time to communicate with voters before the November general elections. The St. Louis County Republican also notes that early August in Missouri typically means intense heat.
A Senate committee held a hearing on the proposal Monday but did not take any action.

A good film has to appeal the one who makes it and the one who wants it made. It has to thrill its audience, captivate the viewer – and leave a lasting impression. It has to be enjoyable; not just today, but tomorrow as well. So, Let's talk about films…

2009 East Coast Indoor Nationals - Two Decades of Making Kids SmileWritten by Chuck Vranas on January 1, 2010 20th Annual East Coast Indoor Nationals, December 5-6, 2009
Marking its 20th year, the East Coast Indoor Nationals raised the bar once again by assembling an amazing array of hot rods, customs, muscle cars, resto's, and modified motorcycles all in the name of the Toys for Tots program benefiting children in need. Event promoter David Cohen canvasses the country every season to personally invite attendees to this very special show. The Cow Palace within the Maryland State Fairgrounds acts as the perfect venue to host the event with its old-time atmosphere reminiscent of classic armory shows of simpler days gone by. With the floor filled to capacity (close to 300 vehicles) it was the perfect way to welcome in the month of December. The Marine Reservists from the 4th Combat Engineering Battalion in Parkville, Maryland, were on hand throughout the day helping raise awareness for the cause and to personally thank all visitors who stopped with a pledge. By the close of the weekend, the show had raised $17,500.00 and had received 250 new toys for donation. We couldn't find a better way to end the year if we tried! You can check it all out at www.eastcoastindoornats.com

We caught him striping this cool Caddy air cleaner destined for the charity auction.Seductive is the best way to describe the dramatic '35 Ford coupe known as Sinuous owned by Harold and Rhea Schrader. Rich brown pearl vibe, a custom leather interior; one-off wheels, and infinite attention to detail made this one of the top finalists for the Ridler Award this year.Coated in Sherwin Williams copper pearl gloss, Charles Ingram's '37 Ford rolled on Billet Specialties wheels shod with Kuhmo skins. A 347ci Ford mill and chassis by builder Fred Graefe brought it all home.Paul Smith's '34 Ford sedan was downright decadent with its mirror straight steel body, 2 1/2-inch chop, glistening DuPont Performance red paint, and max-detailed Street & Performance injected 400ci V-8.
Hammered hard, Z'd and channeled to death, Glen Snavely's '29 Ford sedan had the look of pure evil written all over it.Starting with a body and chassis from Outlaw Performance, John and Linda Wright used a Chevy 502 Ram Jet for power while Billet Specialties wheels topped with BFG rubber spin the power though a Ford 9" rearend.The show attracts a few dramatic classics as well like this rare '38 Buick sport rumble seat convertible Model 66-C (1 of 12 known to exist) owned by Vince Truant. The car features straight-8 power and has only 72,000 miles on the clock.With the holiday theme of the event, it was only natural for some of the cars to get into the mood with white felt and ribbons. Steve Barker's '50 Ford coupe was the perfect custom with countless modifications like dual frenched antenna's, frenched headlights, and molded lake pipes.Wow, where do you start? This '38 Ford truck was molded and smoothed to perfection before being dropped to the pavement and coated in gallons of candy gold effervescence. Owners Mike and Kippy Rudy did a great job!Originally built by Tom Matroni from '53 to '61, this '31 Ford was recently restored to its original glory. A '49 Cadillac V-8 nailed to the 'rails with six 97's perched atop an Edelbrock intake lets you know the coupe has plenty of go. Channeled 6", Z'd 6", and running a suicide frontend, it truly defines an era.It was wicked cool to be greeted by Jim Ewing's original Super Bell coupe as soon as you entered the building. This iconic '34 Ford coupe is one of the most well recognized '34 Fords in hot rod history along with the California Kid and Jake's '34.Built by Mike McDaniel of J&M Rod Works in Glenwood, MD for Steve Garrison, this '29 Ford roaster was packed with a period-perfect goods like a small-block Chevy linked to a Muncie M21 shifted though a Hurst 4-speed...
We can't get enough of Jack and Nancy Maloney's '33 Ford roadster with its classic contemporary styling, subtle paint, and sexy interior by Portage Trim.Fresh from the stables of Nostalgia Works in Sharpsburg, MD, Becky Krolak's early 50's styled '29 Ford pick-up was chopped 4 1/2" and set to rest on a boxed stock chassis with an 11" rear kick. Powered by a '39 Ford V-8 60 packed with go-fast goodies, it shifts thought a '39 box linked to '39 Ford rearStarting with a stock mint '34 Ford sedan which had not seen the road since '59, Mike & Marcia Johnston had the Hot Rod Garage in Denton, MD turn it into a stunning hot rod. Neat touches include custom nerf bars, a Roush V-8, interior styling by Dean Alexander, and vivid red gloss.T-bucket's are a gas and Joseph Gross' cinnamon metallic cruiser caught or attention with its detailed small-block Chevy, custom interior, and mile wide rear rubber.Sometimes subtle updates make for memorable car like Richard Warnsmann's '52 Chevy with its dual frenched antenna's, frenched headlights, light shave and flipper caps.Jerry Nocar's '33 Ford Speedstar coupe was loaded with attitude thanks to a Heidt's IFS matched to a polished Heidt's IRS. Custom wheels combined with BFG skins can easily handle the power coming from the 468ci Chevy Rat under the hood.The most traditional custom of the weekend was this '51 Merc owned by Clyde Warden. Coated in deep wine metallic, it had a perfect chop, just enough custom touches, and Caddy caps.Nothing 'sez I'm here to party like a mile-high frontend and a straight axle! Packed with a cross-ram fed big-block there should be no problem spinning the whitewall slicks out back.
Wanting to create a wild custom, Ken and Sue Duncan shaved, molded, chopped, and slammed their '49 Plymouth to the ground. Accents like the Carson-styled top, and apricot metallic flavor make it memorable.The oldest car displayed was this 1902 Oldsmobile reproduction owned by Wes Rose. Man, it doesn't get any simpler than this.Barely legal in any state, Wade Mahaffey's '27 Ford roadster looks more like a full-on drag car than anything you'd ever catch on the street.

1967 Ford F-250 - No Wrecks. No Rot. No Charge.Written by Chris Shelton on May 9, 2014 How Arlyn Livingston Found Value in Free
No single reason may be good enough to justify building a particular vehicle, but one stands out as a perfectly good reason not to. And it has four letters and begins with an F: free. People don't just give away things that are worth something. They give away rusty six-cylinder AMCs, delaminating boats, and electronics that smoke. Why anyone would waste their money on something like that is beyond me.
But some people think they know better. Take Arlyn Livingston. He got his F-250 from someone he refers to as a good friend. But we have our doubts. You know how much he paid? Nothing. Now honestly, what could he have gotten for that?
I'll tell you what Arlyn got. An old farm truck. On the day he drove it home, the kindest things people said were it was rust free and straight. We've got to hand it to Arlyn, though. To maintain his graciousness, he committed to redeem this truck that only one person before him considered it worthy to own. He appealed to Joe Maxwell and his crew at Maxwell's Metal Works in nearby Marysville, Washington.
Karl Bryson, Eldon Watson, and Joe stripped the chassis and replaced the twin-I-beam suspension with a crossmember and A-arms from Total Cost Involved Engineering. A Total Cost four-link kit mounts a Ford 9-inch-style axle. A 4.11:1 gearset on a limited-slip carrier spins Dutchman 31-spline axleshafts. The front rides on conventional coils and separate dampers. The rear rides on Total Cost's coilover dampers. A stroked Mustang 5.0 replaced the 352 that came in the truck. Monster Transmission prepped the AOD the 347 backs up to.
Probably in light of the truck's lowly roots, Steve Hebert and John Eastman couldn't justify removing the intact and straight trim that came with the truck. Instead they asked Art Brass Plating to just spruce it up with some chrome. The only real modification Eldon saw necessary was to graft a '55 Chevy passenger-car fuel-filler door to the bed for the saddle tank. In fact, the cab and bed let everyone down by depriving anyone the chance to demonstrate their ability to resurrect panels from the dead. Call it an opportunity missed. Disappointingly it went rather quickly into the paint booth where Eldon applied the PPG Deltron-series Ivory White and GM's Luxo Blue.
In the interest of making such a truck tolerable to sit in, Maxwell sent it to Paul Reichlin at Cedardale Auto Upholstery in nearby Mount Vernon. Paul dispensed with the springs, webbed the seat frame, and carved body-contouring foam to make the thankless task of driving such a pariah at least pleasant. He trimmed it, the door panels, and the headliner insert in tan leather. He laminated a fiberglass panel that both flattens the transmission tunnel and gives the American Autowire harness a place to go. He clad the floor in velour carpet.
But is it really worth it to lavish that much attention on something so lacking in value that they gave it away? We have our doubts. I mean, it takes a lot to make something of somebody's castoffs. We pity Arlyn for suffering such grave misfortune.
It's for that reason that we extend this following offer. Next time someone tries to unload a desirable, straight, complete, and rust-free pickup, call us. Yeah, I know it seems rude to impose upon complete strangers like us, but it's the least we can do. Just call us generous.
The only real modification Eldon saw necessary was to graft a '55 Chevy passenger-car fuel-filler door to the bed for the saddle tank. In fact, the cab and bed let everyone down by depriving anyone the chance to demonstrate their ability to resurrect panels from the dead.

It doesn't take much to make a '60s Ford dash relevant. In fact, the 15-inch Budnik Famosa steering wheel and the Flaming River tilt column to which it mounts are pretty standard fare in the rod community.The gauges Ford developed in the '60s were long on style, but somewhat short on information. Auto Meter Old Tyme White gauges in a Boese Engineering dashpanel offer greater resolution and a dash of class, so to speak.What '60s Ford dashes benefit most from are the little touches that Ford apparently forgot. See that garnish under the column? Yeah, Ford just left that open so Maxwell's finished the job. The underdash panel also gives the Old Air climate-control vents a real home.Even though the Wilwood binders measure 12 and 13 inches, the 18x8.5 and 20x10 Budnik Fontana wheels practically swallow them. Those wear 255/45R18 and 295/45R20 Toyo Proxes ST II hides.

Microsoft official looks at changing data trends
Executive analyzes a new way to gather and arrange data
According to some researchers, simply performing experiments to collect data is no longer enough in today's scientific world. But neither are simulating theories and models on computers, they say.
In response, researchers are shifting toward focusing on a fourth paradigm — the acquisition of managing, organizing, sharing and archiving skills for dealing with a great influx of data.
To illustrate the challenges researchers will face using this new model, the Rutgers Discovery Informatics Institute invited Tony Hey, the vice president of Microsoft Research Connection, to speak at the Computing Research & Education Building on Busch campus yesterday about the rising phenomenon.
Dr. Manish Parashar, director of the institute, said Hey's professional experiences merited him an invitation to the University.
Tony Hey, vice president of Microsoft Research Connection, speaks yesterday at the Computing Research & Education building on busch campus on the importance of database management.
"Hey highlights the importance of data in every aspect of science, engineering and society as a whole … It would be a great opportunity for us to learn from his experiences and insights as a whole, " Parashar said.
Hey said he originally worked as a physicist but became fascinated by the world of computer science. He became interested in the ways in which data was deluged and organized.
His colleague, Jim Grey, winner of the Turing award, coined the term "fourth paradigm" based on the idea of the third paradigm in reference to the age of computers, where students needed to learn how to input data and use algorithms.
But researchers no longer focus on gathering data. In fact, they have too much. The fourth paradigm explains the new set of skills needed to mine, visualize and archive the constant data, Hey said.
The fourth paradigm is important because it is multidisciplinary and benefits many different fields, such as bioinformatics and environmental informatics, he said.
"Traditional statistics says that we have to repeat things many times to get a concrete answer, but that's not always possible … now we use data to update our beliefs," Hey said.
Hey said he believes that a cycle of levels will help researchers understand and learn the fourth paradigm: acquisition, collaboration, analysis, sharing and archiving.
Acquisition is the process of obtaining the data that is necessary, Hey said. He also strongly believes in the idea of collaboration — that data should be universally available so anybody can analyze it and make conclusions.
"I remember having to go to meetings to analyze the data where we would go, and not much would be accomplished … scholarly enterprise is extremely inefficient," he said. "We spend a large amount of time reinventing the wheel. We need to step away from that and move forward."
Universal collaboration allows many different research disciplines that have different interests and uses for certain information to save time and money, he said. This approach also suggests that data should be published before a research group or corporation analyzes it.
Hey said sharing the data through the international community will create interactive storytelling.
"One piece of data means many things and is very multidisciplinary. You can look at something and tell a story based upon it, and the story can be different to anybody," he said.
The fourth paradigm also asserts that the key to analyzing data is picking out the common data points that are necessary to the hypothesis or goal — a term Hey calls "data mining."
After the key pieces of data are chosen, the last step is to archive and preserve them. Regulations such as the National Science Foundation Data Sharing Policy already mandate that researchers and investigators archive their data publically, whether it be through a cloud or online, so anybody can access it, he said.
Hey said the fourth paradigm is increasingly important today due to the speed at which information is processed and collected.
"There's some applications of real relevance, and it differs from region to region, especially in New Jersey where there's lots of opportunities — so having universities, especially the state university, training people in the skills to do that is really what New Jersey needs," he said.
Chris Galanis, a graduate student, said he could apply this lecture to his Biotechnical Genomics course.
"We were talking about how research is changing and how nowadays we need a lot of energy to store things. It has some real-life applications," he said.
Hey said creating classes in data science and analyzing will not be easy, but he believes that it is necessary.
"It's a tough call, but it's an imperative for the University and for the state. I think it's exciting, but then again I would, wouldn't I?"

When you're suffering from a skin care problem like fines lines and wrinkles, you have many options available to you in terms of treatment. You can opt for clinical interventions administered by plastic surgeons and dermatologists; however, many of these procedures result in unwanted side effects and offer benefits that are short-lived. Over-the-counter treatments are another option, but these too can cause irritation and other side effects when you use formulas that contain harsh chemicals. WEI Treatments are an alternative to traditional over-the-counter skin care products and can greatly improve the look and feel of your skin without causing dryness, redness, inflammation and other unwanted effects.
The WEI Treatments collection has its origins in traditional Chinese medicine. The herbal extracts found in the WEI Treatments products have been successfully used in this alternative medical tradition for more than 5,000 years to treat skin care issues and improve overall health and well-being. The treatments range includes solutions for numerous skin care concerns, including fine lines and oversized pores. Shop the WEI Treatments line to find the right formula for your needs!
With their natural formulas based on traditional Chinese medicine, WEI Treatments offer a better way to address your biggest skin care concerns.
The WEI Jujube Age Control Serum is a daily treatment for skin that has begun to show signs of aging. The formula contains a special herbal blend designed to energize the skin, as traditional Chinese medicine holds that improving the energy levels in the cells leads to rejuvenation and healing. To enliven the skin cells, the serum contains jujube, a red date that has been used as a medicinal treatment for centuries. Eight additional herbs are added to the formula to complement the actions of jujube. Together, these natural extracts help to restore skin elasticity, making the skin firmer and more resilient to wrinkles. In addition, the formula leaves the skin brighter and hydrated.
The WEI Lady Berry Instant Line Repair contains a unique fruit known as nu-zhen-zi berries. Because they have been used by Chinese women as a beauty secret for centuries, these berries are sometimes called lady berries. When applied to the skin, lady berries help to smooth the tissue, instantly erasing lines and creases in the skin. The berry also refines the pores and makes them less visible on the complexion. The formula is the ideal pre-treatment to apply before your makeup and can leave your skin looking matte and youthful, or you can use the treatment once your cosmetics have been applied. The effects of the formula last for hours after application.

Holley 670 Cfm Street Avenger Install - Stomp For The StreetWritten by on May 25, 2010 Big Power From Ford's Small-Block
With the rising costs of everything in this world, does it behoove you to build a nice small-block Ford street engine from scratch? From buying cores, to machine work, selecting and buying the right parts, to the final assembly it may not be worth it-unless you cut some corners. And cutting corners on your engine's internals or finding some "cheap labor" might not be the best way to save some money.
It's no secret that Ford engines just cost more than those from the Bow Tie plant, but there's plenty of you out there who would rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy-as the saying goes-let alone put a Chevy engine in your Ford truck, so here's a solution. Buy a Ford engine from Ford! The "other" small-block, Ford's 302, is still a great engine choice after all these years and Ford Racing knows this and has an affordable and stout 306ci engine package for the street. This 9:1 roller engine is stuffed with forged Mahle pistons, forged rods, a double roller timing chain, GT-40 aluminum heads, and where they keep the price down is by remanufacturing quality factory blocks and cranks. At least you are still getting OE parts, rebuilt by the OE, right? The engine is rated at 340 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, which is great for most classic Ford trucks and is even covered by a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty!
Ford Racing ships the 306 minus an intake, carb, ignition, fuel pump, flywheel, and water pump, which again saves money there, but they also realize each item is specific to the vehicle the engine is going in, therefore leaving the choice of those parts up to you and your individual needs. We decided to turn to Holley for a number of things to round out the engine. Holley has a new aluminum 670-cfm Street Avenger carb that has an electric choke and vacuum secondaries. The Street Avenger is tuned for street use and to maximize low-end torque (the power you can feel in your seat) and saves quite a bit of weight over its zinc counterparts. Holley even includes an install and tuning DVD, and this carb actually has a limited lifetime warranty too.
Since Holley owns Weiand we asked their tech line about an intake that would work well with the carb and the 306, and they suggested the Weiand Street Warrior intake. The Street Warrior is also designed for low-end torque street use and really works well from 1,500-5,500 rpm. We also got a mechanical fuel pump from Holley as well as a few black AN fuel fittings and a black nylon-covered high-pressure fuel line called Pro-Lite 350 from Earl's Performance Products (also Holley) to round out the fuel system components. Earl's has just about any fitting you could want or need from fuel, to brakes, to lifesaver adapters.
About all that was left for now was an ignition system. For this, we chose a complete system from Pertronix Performance Products. They have their famous billet plug-and-play distributors available for most popular engines and have just introduced their new Ignitor III technology into their line. The Ignitor III has adaptive dwell technology that maintains peak energy throughout the whole rpm range, automatically adjusts spark timing at higher rpm to compensate for electronic delay, and more. The Ignitor III can actually replace the points in a traditional distributor if you already have one. We also opted for the Pertronix Flamethrower III coil, which packs 45,000 volts and has a rapid charge time that's 30-70 percent faster than regular coils, and last but not least a set of Pertronix 8mm Flamethrower plug wires with a lifetime warranty.
We assembled all of this onto the Ford Racing 306 at our tech center before hauling the now complete engine out to Westech for some expert dyno tuning as well as a few high-revving dyno pulls. What Westech found was that the selection of parts was actually pretty well matched to make good power. They did bump up the stock jets in the Holley Street Avenger from 63/73 in the secondary/primary to 65/81 since the engine wanted a little more fuel. After Steve and Eugene figured they were on the sweet spot, they bumped the timing from 34 to 36 degrees and they found the best numbers and smooth curves. Using 91-octane, the max horsepower was 350 at 6,100 rpm, while max torque was 328.6 lb-ft at 4,600 rpm, which were both better numbers than what Ford Racing rated the engine. In fact, the engine was still making horsepower when the valves started to float a little so the rev limiter in the Pertronix distributor was set at 6,000 rpm just to be safe.
All in all, we were very pleased with how the whole build and testing went. This engine will be perfect for the '54 F-100 that will soon be getting a heart transplant!

Don't forget to read the instructions that come with all the new parts. Weiand gives you the torque specs and sequence you should use. Aluminum is a bit pickier than cast-iron intakes, not to mention easier to damage.Here is the all-new aluminum Holley 670-cfm Street Avenger that Holley is very proud of. Being made from aluminum means the carb is very light and dissipates heat quickly.Remember that the throttle linkage goes on the driver side when you go to put the carb on. Again there are torque specs that need to be followed to avoid not only breaking anything or stripping threads, but to also avoid any vacuum leaks.One nice thing about Ford small-blocks and mechanical fuel pumps is that there is no pesky pushrod to deal with like on a Chevy. Of course, Holley also has electric fuel pumps too for those who need them.Here is the all-new aluminum Holley 670-cfm Street Avenger that Holley is very proud of. Being made from aluminum means the carb is very light and dissipates heat quickly.Here is the nice and subtle Earl's fuel log that mates right up to the Holley Street Avenger. It is a mix of black fittings and black nylon-braided hose for a very no-tech look, but is cooler looking than brass barbs and rubber hose. You will need an inline fuel filter though.If you have ever used braided stainless hose you probably have the scars to prove it. Well, bleed no more with today's high-pressure nylon-covered hoses like the Pro-Lite 350 hose from Earl's. All you need to cut it is a nice pair of hose cutters. Plus it looks 10 times better than braided stainless.Once you cut the Pro-lite hose, you just take the hose end of the AN fitting apart, twist the female part onto the hose, and tread in the male side. Tighten it until there is about 1/16-inch gap in the fitting-couldn't be easier.Here are the parts from Pertronix that will make up the new ignition system. They have a new Ignitor III module that is a vast improvement over points. It's always good to match as many parts with the same manufacturer as possible so we also went with the Pertronix Flamethrower III coil and Flamethrower 8mm wires.
Since the Ford engine didn't have a distributor in it to start with, we had to install the Pertronix billet plug-and-play distributor the old-fashioned way, starting with finding top dead center on cylinder number one. The cylinder numbering on this engine is like an old flathead, one through four are on the passenger side and five through eight are on the driver side.We started trimming the Pertronix wires to fit while also trying to make them route over the engine in an eye-pleasing manner. The firing order for this engine is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8.That about does it! We are ready to take a trip to Westech Performance and have them throw this baby on their dyno for some tuning and testing. Not a bad looking package we might add, all the black, chrome, and as-cast look good together.Once at Westech, a fresh K&N oil filter was filled with AMSOIL 20W50 synthetic oil. Then the engine was filled with the same for premium protection.While the guys at Westech got the 306 ready on their dyno, I got to cruise around the shop and check out all their fun projects.After a few runs, they decided the 306 wanted a little more fuel, so the stock jets were bumped up to 65 and 81. While no carb will be perfect right out of the box because there are simply too many variables, this Street Avenger was pretty close.The little Ford Racing engine looks pretty serious on the Westech dyno. Steve is at the command center on the other side of the glass pouring the coals to it on one of the final runs. The parts combination was pretty spot-on, and they all seemed to make good numbers together without too much trouble. Horsepower topped out at 350 at 6,000 rpm while torque was 328.6 lb-ft at 4,600 with 36 degrees of timing and 91-octane gas.

Were it not for the Screwworm Program in Panama managed by the Panama and US Governments, all countries of North and Central America would be suffering the results of a Western Hemisphere native flesh-devouring insect. This insect, the screwworm, was a traditional limitation to animal agriculture in North and Central America, and is still a significant economic disease of livestock in South America. New born animals were attacked through their fresh umbilical cord, and all animals wounded at any stage of their lives were subject to being "drilled" to death. It must also be noted that the human population (and indeed all mammals) were severely affected by this pest in North and Central America before this program began (1950s) and until we reached the current barrier (2000s).
All stakeholders have an interest in the viability of the Program and its continuity in perpetuity. Were the barrier not maintained, the fly would migrate again northward, and re-establish itself within its former ecologic range. This range could well be more extensive due to climate change. It is limited by large bodies of water, high altitudes, and where the ground freezes for several inches. Interested stakeholders include, but are not limited to, all livestock growers (cattle, swine, sheep, goat, other small mammals), all meat-based industries, State and Federal governments, exporters and importers of live animals, and of course, the human population and public health officials.
The barrier against South America is maintained by producing millions of flies in the Panama laboratory/production facility, sterilizing these flies with the use of cobalt, and releasing the flies by airplane over the barrier (extreme eastern Panama and 20 miles into the country of Colombia). With the release of the millions of sterile flies, the likelihood that a native fertile male fly will find a native fertile female fly, becomes extremely improbable, and the fly population disappears. The flies are produced in a major industrial facility, more akin to a factory than a laboratory. This physical plant lies between the City of Panama and the Colombian border. The Program employs approximately 400 individuals and the cost of running this operation is about 15 million dollars per year (2014). This is a tiny cost compared to the billions of dollars in losses in North American livestock were the fly not eradicated, and compared to the tens of thousands of animal handlers and public health officials necessary if the fly were still present in North America.
The Program is divided into four technical divisions and two administrative divisions. Among the four technical divisions is included: Production, Research and Development, Engineering, and the Field Surveillance-Quarantine-Dispersal divisions. The two administrative divisions include a General Administrative division as well as the Office of the General Directors.
The Production division is in charge of implementing a very detailed procedure of fertile fly colony maintenance, egg collection, growth of the fly from the egg through three larval stages to a pupae stage, and the irradiation of the pupae to sterilize an otherwise healthy fly.
The Research and Development division is in constant collaboration with Agriculture Research Service (USDA ARS) and others to look for efficiencies, cost effectiveness, higher quality production, and more sustainability through the use of better science.
The Engineering division is focused on the maintenance and repair of the physical plant, but also contracting and oversight of outside contractors which are brought into expand and improve plant operations.
The Field division receives the sterile pupae, rears them to adult flies, loads these onto aircraft for air dispersal over the barrier, and the monitoring of the effect of these sterile flies in the field. Any suspected case of any fly infestation is investigated, and the organism is identified. A system of sentinel farms and collaborators from local communities serves as an early warning system. In the case of outbreaks, this division conducts the field investigations and recommends remedial actions to insure that the fly does not re-establish itself, including additional fly dispersal if necessary.
All of these efforts at the barrier can be negated if any country to the north of the barrier imports live animals infested with screwworm from those other countries of the Americas which are still infested: most of South America and many islands of the Caribbean. Live animal imports can include the principal agriculture mammal species (horses, cattle, pigs, sheep and goats), domestic pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, some rodents), and of course humans themselves. In 2013, a tourist to Peru returned to England with living, fertile screwworm larva in her ear canal. For this reason, the Program is continuously looking for collaboration with the North American screwworm free nations to maintain import protocols and quarantine processes ever vigilant, as well as vigorous field surveillance and public information campaigns in all free countries. In the case of an outbreak to the north of the barrier, a series of activities would ensue to isolate the incipient fly population, and this could go so far as the dispersal of infested areas with sterile screwworm flies from the Program in Panama; the Program is the only source currently in the world for sterile New World screwworm flies.
As an interesting aside, New World Screwworm was introduced to North Africa in the 1980s, by a shipment of livestock from South America. This is the first recorded introduction to the Old World of the New World Screwworm. In a broad collaboration among the Libyan, US and Mexican Governments, and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and others, the fly was eradiated from Libya. Other international organizations involved in ongoing collaborations include the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Interamerican Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture (IICA), the International Regional Organization for Plant and Animal Health (OIRSA in Spanish), and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Protesters here on American soil are calling on President Obama to stay off of foreign soil.
Men and women demonstrated in front of the White House. They say the President's push for military action in Syria is based on a lie.
Brian Becker with the Answer Coalition says, "The Obama regime can't be judge, jury and executioner, the UN inspectors haven't even left Syria and don't have a report and yet the administration is saying yes, we have to bomb Syria."
Dustin Foley brought his 8 year old daughter Eden to the protest -- both say violence is not the solution. Dustin says, "Why are we always rushing in, we have so many avenues."
His daughter Eden says, "They shouldn't kill, we shouldn't kill, we should all just get along."
But the President is pushing for military action. The administration is saying that it has concluded Syria's government carried out deadly chemical attacks on its own people.
POTUS told PBS Newshour, "We do have to make sure that when countries break international norms on weapons like chemical weapons that could threaten us, that they are held accountable."
At least one lawmaker, Representative Eliot Engel, has expressed support saying the US, "We stand for human rights. We stand for not allowing innocent civilians including children to be gassed."
But other lawmakers feel the President hasn't made the case for action and should get congressional approval before moving forward.
A poll by Reuters asked Americans if the US should intervene if Syria used chemical weapons.
Nearly 42 percent said no and 28 percent said yes.
And another question tonight is, will the US go into this alone? British lawmakers voted against military action as the US continues weighing that possibility.

Northwest, D.C. (WUSA) - The spoils of the most dominant track program in the city are plastered in the office of Head Coach Marvin Parker.
This is how they train, in a DC parking Garage. Parker's Dunbar High School girls track team go through grueling workouts daily.
Thousands of sit-ups, full push-ups, you get biceps like that.
They have the fastest feet by far in the District.
But city rules stipulate that athletes shall not train outside when its below 40 degrees, and this winter, that occurred a lot.
So the school with '12 floors, adjusted.
Here, turns are tight and straightaways have a few hazards..but in the rough and tumble world of indoor track its perfect..
Atypical training methods, sure, but who could argue with the results, the Lady Crimson tide leaves opponents in the shadows.
And junior London Freeland is rewriting records along the way. She's currently the schools top ranked sprinter at 100, 200, 400, and 800 meters.

Last week leading researchers in sports technology met at the Royal Academy of Engineering in London to demonstrate just how far their field has come over recent years. The changes they make to athletes' equipment and clothes may only make a tiny difference to their performance, but once they're added up they can mean the difference between gold and silver.

Our cities are filled with buildings, roads, cars, buses, trains, bikes, parks and gardens. They are crisscrossed with power, water, sewage and transport systems. They are built by engineers, architects, planners, technologists, doctors, designers and artists. Our cities are shaped by our environment, our society and our culture. And each and every part is built on mathematics.
You can join Plus author and Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, Marcus du Sautoy, on a mathematical adventure in the city. Marcus and his team of mathemagicians are constructing walking tours of the city — but they need your help!

Rising like a giant pringle from the Olympic Park construction site, the Velodrome is the first of the 2012 London Olympic venues to be completed. With its sweeping curved roof and beautiful cedar clad exterior the Velodrome is a stunning building. But what most of the athletes are excited about is the elegant wooden cycle track enclosed inside, the medals that will be won, and the records that might be broken, in the summer of 2012.

Western reaches out to University of Denver engineering graduate students
Rocky Mountain transmission planner Jim Hirning talks with University of Denver engineering graduate students Nov. 1 about transmission planning in Western and the intricacies that go into devising how to keep the electric grid reliable in the coming decades. Transmission planning is an area of potential job growth for Western as new generation, particularly renewable, comes online and demand grows in the West. As of last year, Western had more than 11,000 megawatts of renewable energy in its interconnection queues and not enough people, or transmission, to work through the requests.

I'm following this on ESPN online. Between this, and a few of the struggles Nebraska has been having off and on, despite pulling away from La Tech right now, I'm not feeling as bad about Thursday night.
Few teams have looked spectacular in their openers. Does not make me feel any worse or better about Thursday night.
It's just a fact.
It makes me feel better about the caliber of teams in our division....
It's just week 1. Lots of things change and start to show up better in week 2. We'll have a better idea of who can do what after next weekend.
Bad start or not, CU's looking crappy.
Montana State still has the lead going into the 4th could they pull it off.............
16-10 montana state 5:00 left
and they just got the ball back off a fumble. whoops
19-10!!! that game at Colorado doesnt look so bad now
19-10 montana state under 3:00 to go looking grim for the buffs
19-10 2 minutes left
Don't confuse hope for a plan.
crosby just missed the kick that should be it
Yup, it's final
i know who i'm pickin as the worst in the north now
I was watching the Nebraska game with my dad, cheering for LA Tech, but really hoping that NU would win because it makes the Big XII North look really bad to lose early games to piddly little schools. But I have to admit, if any Big XII team would lose early, I'm really really glad it was CU. I can't stand them. Way to go Montana St!
