1969 Ford Mustang - Coupe 2 FastbackWritten by on October 28, 2009 Classic Automotive Restoration Specialists Builds A '69 Mustang, Converting It From A Coupe To A SportsRoof
As so often happens, the buildup of this car began in a bar. A few years ago, our Senior Vice President, Doug Evans, was sitting at the bar in the Peabody hotel in Memphis, knocking back a few with Editor-In-Chief Freiburger.
Evans: "You know, I love '69 Mustang SportsRoofs, but they are outta sight and getting hard to find, even rust buckets. Coupes are cheap enough, but I just am not crazy about the lines."
Freiburger: "Well, we built a crate Camaro."
Both in unison: "How about a coupe-to-fastback conversion kit?"
More beers and four years later, the car is finished. A '69 coupe was bought from Ron Coleman of Comp Cams, and Jim Barber at Classic Automotive Restoration Specialists (www.classicautomotiverestoration.com) was charged with making it happen. Jim conspired with a number of sheetmetal suppliers to assemble a kit with all-new steel to convert a coupe to a fastback.
That sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it? Well it is, and we wanted to know just how involved the swap would be, so we went to CARS' shop in Belews Creek, North Carolina, to see for ourselves. There are Mustang coupe fans out there who are probably cringing right now, and we hear ya, but c'mon, admit it-a fastback just looks better.
After roughly 50 hours of measuring a coupe and a fastback next to each other, Jim found out that the differences in the two body styles were significant-it's more than just the roof and quarters. The fastback's A-pillar is laid back 5 degrees farther than the coupe's, which also makes the door glass different. The coupe's windshield is 1.185 inches taller and the coupe's roof is 1.250 inches higher. Therefore, there are 22 different inner structure pieces and 35 total pieces needed for the conversion. Jim tooled up 16 of the pieces on his own, so CARS is the only place you can get the complete conversion kit.
The sheetmetal kit sells for $5,950 and includes all the inner and outer panels needed for the conversion. For $7,550 you get all the metal plus the glass, weatherstripping, chrome trim, and interior panels. Labor is on you (though CARS charges $4,000 for the conversion, not counting paint), and it's pretty significant. We strongly advise against anyone trying to tackle this on their own unless they have a wealth of bodywork experience. But the CARS crew had done this before, and while we watched, they had the coupe cut apart and the new fastback steel tack-welded in place in a day and a half. There was still quite a bit of work left to do in final fitting, welding, and all the other work necessary to get the car ready for paint.
The end result, as you can see in the photos, was stunning, and for more reason than just the roof conversion. CARS built the entire car from the ground up with a 341hp, Inglese-inducted, Racing Head Service 302, a TCI AODE automatic, and a complete Total Control Products suspension. With a custom black interior and Pioneer tunes, it's a nice car to drive. And we proved it by stealing the keys and beating on it at the dragstrip and at a private road course.
The engine was built for driving, so we knew it wouldn't tear up the quarter-mile, but at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Florida, the Mustang ran 14.07 at 90 mph (9.30 at 73 in the eighth-mile) with Super Chevy Editor Jim Campisano doing the driving. We're sure that with a Ford guy behind the wheel it would go faster. (Sorry, Jim, couldn't resist). For the road course portion of the drive, we used a track in the hills of North Carolina built by a wealthy gentleman for his own private use. It's a long story on how we ended up there (and especially how we left), but the gist is we got a chance to really wail on the car. We didn't time the laps since there was no representative data from other cars to compare it with, but the thing cornered hard and flat on the BFGoodrich rubber (and without the tires rubbing anywhere) and felt good doing it. The rack-and-pinion steering was a little vague, but otherwise, it was as solid as an anvil. The Total Control parts really worked well, especially considering this isn't a light car.
Looking at it, you'd never know this Mustang did not start life as a fastback. And driving it, you don't care.

OK, we're cheating a little bit on this story. This is not the same car we drove but another one we used to illustrate the conversion. Coupe lovers may be a little bit relieved to know that this one was a real rust bucket when we started.A plasma cutter was used to cut off the back half of the sheetmetal. There are obviously way too many steps to show everything that is required on a job this big, but we'll show you the highlights.This is where the A-pillar was hacked. As it turns out, the stock coupe pillar and windshield have a different rake than the SportsRoof models.Every panel was tack-welded in a few spots and then the next panel was installed. When it's all together, everything was eyeballed and measured before final welding.The CARS guys cut all the way around the car and lifted the quarters and roof off as a single piece.Before the original sheetmetal was removed, everything was measured to make sure the new pieces went in where they should. Here's the right-side inner structure being set into place.
RHS built the engine with a stock '69 302 block and RHS aluminum heads with 2.02/1.60 valves and 180cc intake runners. The cam is, of course, from Comp, a hydraulic flat tappet with 218/224 duration at 0.050 lift and an idle-friendly 113 degrees of lobe separation. The cool induction is an Inglese EFI setup controlled by a FAST system, and it's fed fuel from a Rick's Hot Rods stainless steel tank and an Aeromotive fuel system. The headers are from Hedman and feed a 2 1/2-inch stainless steel exhaust hand-fabricated from a Borla kit and with Borla mufflers. A Vintage Air front runner kit mounts the accessories, and a Be Cool radiator keeps it cool.Making the car as stiff as a bridge girder are the Total Control framerail connectors, which CARS welded in place.The rear suspension is all Total Control, including billet aluminum lower control arms and VariShock coilovers with 200-lb/in springs. A Chassisworks Fab9 rearend housing holds 3.73:1 gears.We whipped this horse for real and it took it. The car corners fast and flat but doesn't beat you up doing so.Schott Venom wheels were used on the Mustang. They're 18x8 front and 18x9 rear (4.5 inches backspacing on both ends) and mount BFGoodrich tires, 275/35ZR18 rear and 245/35ZR18 front.The interior is really nice. CARS has its own upholstery department, so it truly did everything in-house. A pair of ProCar 1200 seats and the stock rear seat were covered in black vinyl, the wheel is from Budnik, and the gauges and gauge panel are from JME Enterprises. A Vintage Air Sure Fit air conditioning kit is hidden behind the dash, and the Pioneer tunes blast out of Infinity speakers. It's all wired with a Painless harness, and the FAST controller and TCU for the transmission are hidden under the center console. A B&M ratchet shifter goes through the gears.
The Total Control suspension goes a long way in transforming the Mustang from a loose cannon to a canyon carver. The system includes new tubular upper and lower control arms, strut rods, and adjustable VariShock coilovers with 600-lb/in springs. Also used on this car was the Total Control rack-and-pinion conversion kit. Alignment was set at 1/2 degree negative camber, 3 1/2 to 4 degrees caster, and 1/16 inch toe-in.

Ever wonder what landscaping costs?
My husband and I looked into landscaping our backyard and it sadly it wasn't in our budget So we decided to tackle it ourselves. We did a whole bunch of research and found www_blushirt.com gives you your design and a material list which was perfect! With the plan in hand we then watched a bunch of videos on YouTube and realized it was a bit out of our league, we hired a landscape company to do the technical stuff and did the rest ourselves...3 months later our yard is finally complete , it's been backbreaking but rewarding!

Re: Ever wonder what landscaping costs?
Landscaping can be so rewarding. It is a lot of backbreaking work - and - it really is NEVER truly COMPLETE! Lucky me, if I mention "rock work" my husband's eyes light up and he starts ordering the rock. We did a lot of rockwork in the backyard two years ago and this year we did the front boulevard. (we only have a city lot .18 acre)
When you think it's finished - you find things to change or tweak! Post some pictures - we all love seeing them!

Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration.

Surprise! Came with the wheels
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
If you buy new they come with your stan's wheel set. I bought a stan's wheelset on ebay and was surprised that the seller included them. So now I have an extra set. Been happy with them so far.
uh... not to good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After installing the 15mm conversion to a set of stan's crest I've noticed a lot of play (aka wiggle) in the thru axle/hub parts. They also pop off easy and don't stay in place very well. The kind of small AL part that pops off and gets lost easy in the car. They also play/wiggle enough to scar your thru axle. I really like stan's wheels. Not so much the hubs, but the rims are nice and very underrated. Cheap too. The conversion kit doesn't work too well unless you do very mellow xc rides. If you do some rough stuff you'll notice a beating on your thru axle and the hub from the play. I would just buy a set of wheels from stans w/ the HD hub since there is no 9mm conversion necessary. Just straight 12mm or 15mm thru axle.
Reducing from 20mm hub (used to fit a 20mm...
Reducing from 20mm hub (used to fit a 20mm axle)down to now fit a 15mm axle - is this the correct part for that? Thanks for the help.
They're included with the wheels
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Ditto belp47898
Stan's ZTR Arch comes with the adaptor.
Easy to install, works good.
I bought these with the ZTR Rims
Waste of money, the rims come with the adapters, guess I should of asked before buying, my bad.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
What more should I say. The conversion couldn't be easier
Easy way to convert
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Going from 9mm to 15mm takes all of 5 min with these. It does take a good set of pliers or a vise to remove the 9mm caps to install these though.
Be sure that the gaskets on these are properly set or they will shred under normal riding.

Dry, Dry, with some extra Dry. At least in the South East part.
In NE Wyo, they are already having meetings about enforcing a complete fire ban. The hills have gotten some snow last month but they are so far behind in moisture it didnt help too much. Lots of ranchers selling out because they wont have any hay to harvest because its so dry.
Thanks guy's. Our area in NE Oregon is at about 87% of normal (snow pack water content) but it sounds like you guy's are not near that. Hope you get some major spring rains! The weather tonight say's there is some pretty good moisture coming in for the next few days and I hope it makes it over to you...
What about the Bighorns? ?How was the winter up there? Moisture?
They had the season settings meetings last week. Most of the antelope tags were cut big time, 50-60 percent in some of the units.
Most of the areas in the state? 50-60% in some areas? That seems pretty drastic . . .
well we're supposed to get the storm of the century this week lol. They're calling for almost 2 feet of snow in town so who knows what the mountains will get. Work is telling me to bring extra food in case highway 59 closes
I wish we could have sent you guys some of that nearly 2 in of rain we got this weekend in westenr WA. Looks like we may not draw all are doe deer and antelope tags if this keeps up. Hope you get some moisture real soon.

What next for biodiversity targets
The 2010 biodiversity target was adopted in May 2002 during the sixth Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. It aimed to achieve, by 2010 'a significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss at the global, regional and national level as a contribution to poverty alleviation and to the benefit of all life on earth'. Unfortunately, the latest analysis of the IUCN Red List shows this target has not been met. As we are facing an ever-increasing biodiversity crisis, we need a new, clear and realistic target to respond to it. …

Video: US Northeast Hit With Knee-Deep Snow
BOSTON -- More than 220,000 homes and businesses remain without electricity following the massive snowstorm that swept across the Northeast, with most outages in hard-hit Massachusetts.
Utilities in Massachusetts are reporting more than 180,000 of their power customers still in the dark Sunday evening, down from more than 400,000.
The storm started Friday night and dumped up to 3 feet of snow and knocked out power to more than 650,000 homes and businesses in eight states, from Maine to Pennsylvania.
About 34,000 customers in Rhode Island and more than 4,700 in Connecticut still were without power Sunday night..
Most power has been restored in New York, with just over 500 customers still in the dark. That's down from nearly 12,000.
Airports in New York, Boston and Connecticut are returning to normal operations following the massive snowstorm that led to thousands of flight delays and cancelations.
Airlines say they are operating close-to-normal schedules.
Meanwhile, trains and public transportation networks are also working to get back to full operation in time for Monday morning's commute.
Amtrak trains are now running on a limited schedule between New York and Boston.
Regional lines are still working to restore service.

That's part of the headline of Will Sommer's Washington City Paper feature story on WUSA9's own Russ Ptacek.
The story chronicles Ptacek's biggest stories like investigations into potentially racist D.C. cabbies and restaurants with food violations, his background, and more.
"Using Department of Health inspection records, Ptacek hits several restaurants and grocery stores a week to confront managers about violations," The article reads. "In these segments, Ptacek is notably class-blind, shaming both pricey restaurants that have been shut down for their incongruously unhygienic conditions as well as divier shops where the filth is less surprising. In one memorable segment, he shames the barely comprehending manager of a dingy takeout for having an empty bottle of liquor on the counter. He tweets the worst offenders along the way."

General Motors is voluntarily recalling 280,000 Cadillac DeVilles from the 2000 to 2002 model years.
GM says internal tests showed some vehicles had seat belt pre-tensioners that didn't perform properly.
Pre-tensioners help safety belts reduce a person's forward movement in moderate to severe frontal crashes. The devices being recalled were installed in the front driver and passenger seats.
GM says there have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to the condition.
Owners will be asked to take their DeVilles to dealers for free repairs.

I have a need to create an alias that simply forwards to a different email address with a different domain. The alias has no Zimbra account and doesn't need it since it just forwards the email to another address. For example, I need to do this:
email@example.com forwarding to email@example.com
I tried editing /etc/aliases and then running newaliases and it still didn't work. Is there some other way of doing it with Zimbra without creating the account?

skyn ICELAND's mission is to promote a stress-free life full of balance, beauty and wellness. At skyn ICELAND, they believe that beauty and wellness are interconnected. They offer products and solutions for your breakouts, baggy eyes and dehydrated, dull skin. And because they know how stress can take a toll on your health and your skin, they provide you with techniques to manage and diffuse stress. skyn Iceland aims to help you feel as good as you look, and help your health remain strong so you can take on the world and its challenges. All of the products in the skyn ICELAND range contain only natural ingredients, which are sourced from Iceland.
See our Q&A with Sarah Kugelman, President and Founder of skyn Iceland.
Whether it's the look and feel of your skin or your general health, stress is among the most insidious damaging agents. The skyn ICELAND products take on the ravages of stress at the dermatological level, constituting an innovative and comprehensive collection worthy of any skincare regime.
The brand is the brainchild of Sarah Kugelman, a beauty-industry veteran who suffered the physical degradations of unhealthy amounts of stress in the early 2000s and retreated to Iceland to recuperate. There, on that wild and strikingly scenic island in the North Atlantic, Kugelman began investigating the link between stress and skin issues as well as the natural skincare ingredients native to the remote country. Marrying the potential of Iceland-sourced nutrients with top-of-the-line chemistry and formal research into stress and physiology, Kugelman founded the first skincare company specially dedicated to the dermatological impacts of stress: skyn ICELAND.
The skyn ICELAND products range from facial cleansers and masks to skin peels and age-defying formulations. Among the special ingredients employed is glacial freshwater from Iceland, renowned for its pristine quality partly stemming from the natural filtration it undergoes through volcanic bedrock. Also utilized are a variety of Icelandic plants--from Arctic cranberry to butterfly bush--as well as moss and kelp, organisms richly stocked with nutrients due to the condensed growing season and substantial rigors of Iceland's climate.
Over time, stress begins to show up plainly on your face in the form of wrinkles, shadowy eyes, and other symptoms of premature aging. Look to the skyn ICELAND lineup for products specifically prepared to redress some of these unwanted features by giving your skin a nourishing boost.

Matson builds its Pacific portfolio with new purchase
December 26, 2012
Matson, Inc. announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the primary assets formerly owned by Reef Shipping, a South Pacific shipping company based in Auckland, New Zealand that has been in business since 1968. The assets to be acquired include four vessels and approximately 1,500 pieces of container equipment. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed and the closing of the transaction is expected to occur on or about year-end.
The news comes at a time when many other major carriers are reducing capacity in the transpacific.
"With this acquisition, Matson continues to expand its geographic reach into the South Pacific, and build on its well-earned expertise as a Pacific island carrier," said Matt Cox, president and CEO. "While the purchase itself is relatively small, it complements our growing network of Pacific island services. Historically, Matson vessels, including both freighters and luxury passenger ships, served the South Pacific for five decades, beginning in the 1920s. We are proud to return today to provide the same level of superior customer service and on-time delivery that is the hallmark of our other trade lanes."
After this acquisition, Matson will continue to provide service to Reef's historical core trade lanes from Auckland, New Zealand and Fiji to the island nations of Nauru, the Solomon Islands, Tahiti, Samoa, Cook Islands, Niue, Tonga, Wallis and Futuna, Vanuatu, Tarawa and Majuro – all of which will be new markets for Matson.
In addition to the Hawaiian Islands, which Matson has been serving continuously since 1882, the company's Pacific island services today include Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Teen charged with lewd and lascivious battery
Published: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 10:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 10:22 a.m.
OCALA - A teenage boy was taken into custody Thursday on charges of lewd and lascivious battery and tampering with evidence.
A 14-year-old girl told Ocala Police Department Detective Jorge Fernandez and an official at Kimberly's Center for Child Protection that the 17-year-old picked her up Monday at her home and took her to his home, where he threatened her with a gun, held her against her will for hours and had sex with her.
She said she didn't resist because he had three firearms.
The police department obtained a search warrant and on Thursday the SWAT team entered the boy's home and found him in a bathroom attempting to flush marijuana down a toilet.
Fernandez recovered marijuana, drug paraphernalia and two BB guns from the teen's bedroom and in the living room.
The teen said the sexual encounter was consensual. He said he uses marijuana for medical reasons because it calms his anxiety and eases his stomach pains.
State law prohibits sex with anyone under the age of 16.
The teen was arrested and taken to the juvenile detention area of the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

An Investigation on Search Processes in Collaborative Exploratory Web Search
Zhen Yue, Shuguang Han and Daqing He
Monday, 6:30pm
Collaboration in Web search can be synchronous or asynchronous in terms of concurrency, and different collaboration style may affect search actions greatly. This paper presents a user study aiming to compare search processes in three different conditions: pair of users working on the same Web search tasks synchronously, pair of users working on the same Web search tasks asynchronously, and single users work separately. Our analysis of search processes was focused on the distribution and transition of user search actions logged in a web search system called CollabSearch. The results show that the participants exhibited different patterns of search processes under different conditions. A large proportion of users' actions in the synchronous condition were related to explicit communication, and users in the synchronous condition issued queries and collected documents sooner than those in the other two conditions. In asynchronous conditions, participants conducted more actions in the shared workspace than those in individual condition. Particularly, their actions in shared workspace were more frequent in the beginning and ending phase than those in the middle phase of entire search session. This study provides some guidance on the range of behaviors and activities that a collaborative search system should support.

Trailer-Made Savings
This tale of two trailers proves that there's savings to be had in some of the unlikeliest places.
By Today's Trucking Staff
A team consisting of Manac Trailers, Cascades and FPInnovations has developed a standard van trailer that can reportedly cut your fuel consumption by six percent.
FPInnovations is the Quebec-based, private-sector, not-for-profit research center. Manac is one of Canada's most respected trailer manufacturers and Cascades is of course the paper-products-and-recycling giant.
In September they announced that thanks in part to a $50,000 grant from Quebec's Ministry of Transport, (MTQ), they have produced a 53-ft trailer that boasts a 12-percent reduction in aerodynamic drag.
The trailer doesn't appear radically different from standard vans.
FP Innovations' Director Yves Provencher told Today's Trucking that Cascades set the design criteria."We wanted to keep the same volume, the same door sizes and the capability to back up to the docks so that the trailer can be easily loaded," Provencher says. "To save cost for the prototype, we used an existing trailer.
"The front top corner of the trailer is rounded. The modifications were only made in the top part of the trailer. If the performance of this trailer proves to be positive, a new design would be totally redone, including the suspension."
The wedge design means the floor is sloped by five inches but capacity remains the same. Other advantages: The new trailer meets American and Mexican as well as Canadian regulations and offers a possible 14-ton reduction in CO2 emissions.
FPInnovations estimates the North American trailer market for this sort of van is about 64,000 units per year, worth over $1.5 billion.
According to Marc Berthiaume, Manac Engineering Department Manager, "Manac is always interested in participating in initiatives leading to the development of eco-energy technologies, especially with a team of partners as dynamic, painstaking and inspiring as this."??
Adds Provencher: "Our team has put together the best knowledge and cutting-edge technology for the benefit of the transportation industry—in this case, the trucking sector."
The next step is to take the trailer out of the wind-tunnel stage and compare its performance to standard three-axle trailers in actual use.
At the same time as FPInnovations was working up its scheme, another trucker, Ryan Viessman, of Gary, S.D., was dealing with a different trailer dilemma.
Viessman's fleet, CVI, runs about 70 pneumatic bulk trailers that haul refined sugar, flour, and starches from shippers throughout the Midwest.
Side skirts and other fairings—so effective at improving the aerodynamics of dry vans and reefers—generally aren't practical for pneumatic bulk trailers. They're hard to install without interfering with access to piping, outlet valves, and other equipment, and they can add several hundred pounds to the weight of the vehicle.
"Bulk fleets everywhere face the same problem," Viessman says. "How do we bring aerodynamic improvements to the trailer that are simple and low cost, have zero impact on our operations, and require little or no maintenance?"
The company challenged its long-time trailer supplier, Polar Tank, to find the answer.
Trailer aerodynamics directly affect your total horsepower needs and, therefore, your fuel economy, says Duane Plumski, Research and Development Engineer, Polar Tank Trailer. The typical van or refrigerated trailer accounts for 65 to 75 percent of a tractor-trailer combination's total aerodynamic drag.
"A pneumatic trailer is more streamlined than a flat-fronted trailer, but there are elements like external rings, handholds, and piping that disrupt the airflow," Plumski says. "We analyzed virtually every aspect of the trailer to see what we could do to reduce the aerodynamic drag and potentially improve fuel economy without affecting capacity or operations."
He and Polar engineers put their 3D modeling tools to work. "With our software, we can design, visualize, and simulate the trailer's drag effects before it's built," Plumski notes. "We can predict how design changes will affect not only fuel economy but
the strength, durability, and operation of the vehicle."
To improve aerodynamics, Polar engineers first focused on the overall shape of the trailer, starting with the front face.
The front of a trailer accounts for approximately 30 percent of its aerodynamic drag. Polar engineers lowered the tank's front end-cone and tipped it forward slightly to reduce the profile and soften the impact of air coming over the tractor.
They also reduced areas along the trailer that disrupt the air flowing over the trailer.
One obvious source of drag: the external side rings, which wrap vertically, like ribs around the aluminum tank. The benefit of external-ring bracing is a smooth interior; in contrast, a trailer that's smooth on the outside will have struts inside the tank for structural support.
"In our experience, cleaning trailers with internal ribs is a major issue," says Joey Viessman, who manages the company's fleet in Renville. "Product collects around the bracing and makes it hard to unload or clean out."
Plumski says his engineering team made sure those transition points between the internal ribs don't hinder the ability to empty the trailer completely.
"Our priority was to ensure that no change would alter the capacity of the tank, the distribution of the payload, or the ease of loading or off-loading product," he says. "We preserved the round sloping interior surfaces and designed the ribs so that the trailer will empty cleanly but you get the aerodynamic benefit of the smooth exterior."
To date, CVI has two aerodynamic pneumatic trailers from Polar and has ordered four more. They haul an average 55,000-pound payload on round trips of 500 miles a day behind day cab tractors.
The result: all things being equal, the new Polar trailers average roughly 0.3 mile a gallon better than the externally ringed trailers.

Market Volatility Leaves Many Wondering About Safe 401(k) Plan Investments
But after months of severe market volatility, experts and regulators are wondering whether these qualified default investment alternatives, or QDIAs, are the most appropriate investment options for all 401(k) plan participants.
On March 26, U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis announced her agency would coordinate a review of target-date funds in conjunction with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Target-date funds automatically reallocate from equities to fixed-income securities as they approach their stated retirement date. In a letter to the Senate Special Committee on Aging, Solis wrote that the Labor Department's main concern related to how much equity some funds are holding as they get closer to the date of retirement.
The primary issue with target-date funds is that they have very different glide paths, or paths from aggressive to conservative, said Robert Liberto, senior vice president of Segal Advisors. One target-date fund with the retirement date of 2010 might have a 40 percent allocation in equity while another might have a 20 percent allocation, he said.
"There are major differences in how these funds are set up," Liberto said.
Target-date funds seem simple, which is why plan sponsors like them, but in fact, they can be more complicated, said Don Stone, president of Plan Sponsor Advisors, a Chicago-based 401(k) consultant.
"If things look simple on the surface, then you aren't digging deep enough," he said.
The Labor Department may end up advising that employers offer three different glide paths for target-date funds with years close to retirement, said Dallas Salisbury, president of the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
For example, a sponsor might have conservative, moderate and aggressive 2010 target-date funds.
"That could mean the employers would be working with three different providers," he said.
While regulators wrestle with the issue of target-date funds, some experts are wondering whether they might reconsider adding stable-value funds as qualified default investment alternatives. When Congress introduced the QDIAs in 2006, there was a lot of pushback from the insurance industry that stable-value funds, which are designed to provide a guarantee through an insurance wrapper, should be added to the list. But Congress and the Labor Department didn't budge.
Now, however, many wonder whether that might change. "Given the market volatility it wouldn't surprise me if the Department of Labor looked at stable-value funds again," Liberto said.
Recent months of market losses have left everyone wondering what investments are safe, Salisbury said.
"Essentially, the QDIAs were chosen based on accepted traditional investment theory, which at least in this cycle has been proven wrong," he said. "It is particularly difficult for Congress and the Department of Labor to figure out what is safe."
Regardless of the market uncertainty, Rep. Robert E. Andrews, D-New Jersey and chairman of the Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions, said Congress has no immediate plans to make changes to the QDIAs.
"There is no discussion to revise the QDIA," he said at a breakfast meeting hosted by Barclays Global Investors in New York on Tuesday, April 7. "Our view is that we want to see how it works before we revise it."

I was worried about mess, but in truth, once you start cloth diapering you won't even feel it lol....I have a pair of rubber gloves strictly designated for scrubbing out any poop marks that don't come out after I put it through the regular wash lol. But it isn't that often that I need to even do such a 'touch up,' so I'm really happy with the system I purchased. I do diapers laundry every other day; my daughter uses about 12-14 diapers in this time, even though I'd initially purchased 21 diapers to start up. Also, I purchased half of my fuzzibunz used from a mom who had a big baby who grew like a weed and couldn't wear them after 4 months. But this is the extreme exception rather than the rule - I know two ladies at church who used the small sized fuzzi bunz till their babies were one year old! The Other half of my fuzzibunz I bought brand new from an online retailer (The natural parenting shop) when they were selling for $15 Canadian on sale. So I've never had to pay full price, which makes these all in ones a real steal. So even if you're not comfortable purchasing used cloth diapers and sanitizing them before using them on your own baby, you can definitely buy these diapers new for a great price as long as you are patient and hunt around. If I were you, I'd start looking at these diapers now - find some websites known to occasionally have great deals, and check at least a couple times a week to see if they're on sale yet lol...it only takes a minute from your time, and the savings are wonderful.
So just buy gloves so you don't have to touch any messes and keep an eye out for deals :). I love my fuzzibunz as a brand, and this is the brand the ladies at my church use too. If you buy cloth diapers and your little one is wet a lot, just buy some doublers to use along with your all in one diapers - the first day I used cloth diapers, my daughter leaked through all of them. So I went online and did research, and found out that a doubler might solve the problem. I purchased 12 doublers from bumgenius at the price of $5.50 CAD for three....and let me tell you, I have not had one leak or blowout since. In fact, my daughter leaks/blowsout LESS in cloth diapers than disposables! Who knew?!? If your baby ends up needing even more than this, hemp liners are super absorbent; I have two hemp liners that I use as doublers sometimes, and I've noticed that when I use them, the urine doesn't even or barely soaks through to the terry liner in the Fuzzibunz diaper.
Good luck with all this! Let us know what you decide :)
Thanks, ladies! This is really helpful! You've made cloth diapering sound palatable. :o)
That spray attachment thing sounds fantastic. I'm just wondering if it works with all toilets? I'm living in the UK (I'm an American and my husband is British) so who knows? :o)
What are your thoughts about hiring a diaper laundering service? I know of one in my area but they only launder their style of diapers.
Thanks again! I'm sure I'll post other questions as I go along but I'm really leaning toward cloth diapers! (And thanks for the no-guilt aspect of using the occasional disposable. I'm sure with lots of things - breastfeeding, too - it will be easy to condemn myself if I don't stick to a certain thing 100% of the time. I really appreciate that!)
I use a combination of Bumgenius and Fuzzibuns one size, love the fact that I don't have to buy a single diaper again unless I just feel like splurging on a cute print.
Because LO was too skinny for the one size diapers as a newborn I had to use disposables part time because I didn't have enough prefolds and didn't want to invest in diapers that would only be used for a few more weeks. That is when I REALLY learned to appreciate cloth.
Using a disposable meant that a blowout could happen at any time and I was guaranteed to wake up to a soaked baby in the morning because he slept through the night. With cloth I never have leaks (after I figured out fit) and the only time we had a blowout was because grandma didn't change the diaper for 5 hours and the thing weighed just as much as LO.
Because of that I find that I deal with a lot less poop with cloth than I did with disposables because it never gets on any clothing and I use the wetbag as a glove when dumping them in the washer. I've never had to "depoofy" my washer.
I've been wanting to get a diaper sprayer but haven't as of yet, LO just started solids so I'm using fleece liners to dump the poop in the toilet. I've never needed gloves.
If you live in the UK most houses that I've visited in Europe have bidets which is just the sprayer's predecessor.
My sisters all wonder how I do cloth diapers and I put SM in disposables for traveling and wonder how they can deal with disposables. Besides the cost of disposables you also have to add in the cost of clothes that you sometimes just cannot seem to get the stains out. Cloth is so much cleaner. I have a sprayer in my laundry room sink and just spray all of them out at the end of the day. I have never had to scrub diapers and have very few diapers with stains. I use Bumgenius OS ans Thirsties covers with flats both do a great job over all. The OS AIO are faster to change but the flats with a cover hold a bit more for night and I have never had a up the back blow out which can be very messy. Also i recently got a OS pocket diaper from theluvyourbaby.com and it is the same as BumGenius but less than half the price. You can ask a diapering service if they have a trial week where you can try a bunch of different kinds of diapers before you buy your stash too.
First off go BUMGENIUS! G-diapers are nice but they are fussy to get on. Yet if you are looking at g-diapers it's because you like the idea of being able to go disposable on occasion. There are two other brands that offer both cloth and disposable. There is Grovia and Flip.
My husband wasn't completely on board either, but now he loves our toilet sprayer as much as I do. If you are a clean obsessed person, you will love the challenge of cleaning diapers. He is still amazed at how clean I can get the diapers and how something that was so horribly smelling and disgusting, is clean, fresh, and ready to go.
Washing cloth diapers in your washer won't make your clothes smell like poop.
My tip for using a top loader is to simply shrink the hot wash load to the smallest possible, but make the rinse loads large. You want lots of friction between the fabrics to clean them. I do suggest getting snaps if you have a top loader, my velcro has always taken a beating for some reason. I am enjoying the Bumgenius detergent as of right now. When buying detergent buy lots of samples, what may work at first may not work later.

Summary:Set in the turbulent early 1960s to mid-70s, the tale follows the rise of a trio of women--Effie, Deena and Lorrell--who have formed a promising girl group called The Dreamettes. At a talent competition, they are discovered by an ambitious manager named Curtis Taylor, Jr., who offers them the opportunity of a lifetime: to become the back-up singers for headliner James "Thunder" Early. Curtis gradually takes control of the girls' look and sound, eventually giving them their own shot in the spotlight as The Dreams. That spotlight, however, begins to narrow in on Deena, finally pushing the less attractive Effie out altogether. Though the Dreams become a cross-over phenomenon, they soon realize ...

When our summer interns go on family vacation, we can't send them off without an assignment. So our resident Star Wars buff, Kenneth, gave us a rundown of Star Wars Weekend at Disney World.
At the age when most children began watching Aladdin, Hercules and Beauty and the Beast, I was lost in a galaxy far, far away. From those days on, my obsession has only grown. So, as you can imagine, I went to Disney World's Star Wars Weekends years ago before Disney bought the franchise. People have voiced their opinions, which range from: "They're ruining the series!" to "They'll make it too kid-ish!" The list goes on. Opinions on that aside, Disney has been doing Star Wars Weekends for a while, since 1997. From what I remembered as a kid, Disney did a great job — I know I had fun.
Coming back after all of these years, with knowledge and wisdom of the series I'd acquired over the years in mind, I walked into Hollywood Studios half asleep from getting to the park so early. Needless to say, it was far more than I could've ever imagined. Disney has always been known for its showmanship and they really came through for this year's festivities.
Disney had an all-star lineup of characters from the films and animated series, and fans could get autographs and watch them in different shows throughout the day. Just to name a few: Ray Park (Darth Maul), James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan in the animated series) Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), Warwick Davis (Wicket) and Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka Tano from the animated series). The park also had dozens of other characters guests could take pictures with during the day. It was almost guaranteed that around every corner, someone would run into a character from the universe. Whether it was Darth Vader shrouded in Storm Troopers or Tusken Raiders, it was always a treat.
The party carries on through four shows daily Friday-Sunday and change slightly each weekend (this year, the event runs every weekend May 17-June 9). There's always a show with the special guest of the week like Warwick Davis or Jeremy Bulloch — the talks were just interesting to sit in on. The master of ceremonies and host of each show was James Arnold Taylor, voice actor extraordinaire. He even demonstrated 200 different voices he could do. Impressive, I know. Taylor hosted a talk show as well, where he interviewed the visiting star and Ray Park each day. This could range from being hilarious to quite inspiring depending on the guest. Trust me on that, hearing a story of how Boba Fett messed up his lines on his first day is something to behold.
If a taste for stunts and action are up your alley, Ray Park had his own martial arts show where he went through different fighting styles with an array of weapons. This was also where you learned to loathe the children who got the chance to go on stage and do move sets with the master himself. I'm still seething from that.
Special merchandise could be found at the one stop Star Wars shop near the back of the park: the Darth Mall (clever title if I don't say so myself). Collectibles, helmets, toys, Disney characters in Star Wars outfits — it was all there. Guests could truly lose themselves in a place like that. If you're an unabashed fan like myself, you can't help but spend oodles of money there. I went in wanting something small and spent more than $90. Needless to say, it was neigh impossible to leave without some form of paraphernalia in hand.
Now, to deflect, again, the opinions I may have about Disney buying Star Wars. I have to say, Star Wars Weekends are on par with some conventions I've heard of. When Disney gets a hold of something, they'll flaunt it and make it something everyone can enjoy. These weekends are comparable to a sacred gathering for fans of the series. To see people who enjoy these movies as much as I do having as much fun as me was sublime. The energy there was almost tangible, especially during Memorial Day weekend. The park's population swelled so much, it almost reached capacity. This weekend was full of characters, big name actors, festivities, themes snacks, souvenirs and ways to immerse fans in the universe itself. Guests could make themselves Storm Troopers — it was awesome. I digress, these weekends were nothing less than magical for me and, from what I could tell, those around me. Where else at this time could you see Boba Fett dance with Princess Leia in her slave outfit?
For this Star Wars fan, Disney did a great job setting the atmosphere of my favorite series. The entire park was flooded with Star Wars music until the park closed. The employees where all nice, the characters excellent and actors incredible, I couldn't have asked for a better time. The fireworks show was impressive, too — Disney literally ended the festivities with quite a bang.
On March 15, DHL announced that $47 million would be invested in a new facility at its CVG hub. This new sorting facility will help meet international customer demands and add close to 300 jobs over the next 12 months. The date given for the facility to be operational is Nov. 2012.
DHL has been thriving compared to the downward spiral that is Delta. DHL has gone from 1,600 jobs to 2,000 in the span of three years and has invested around $105 million in the Cincinnati location since it was established in 2009. Not everything that happens at CVG is bad.
During my two years as a baggage handler I experienced a little bit of everything. From holding on to the wing of a plane to keep in from tipping during a wind storm, to seeing a drunk little person getting taken off a plane in handcuffs, to destroying a few bags. There is more to an airport than what passengers see in the concourses. Have you ever wondered where that guy in the orange vest was going when he disappeared behind a door? Ever thought about how your bag was being handled? Well, hopefully with a few of these stories those questions and more can be answered.
The Weird
During my time as a baggage handler, I saw some incredible things. At the same time, there were weird events that took place. These would occur like lightning; they happened quickly and would never strike the same place twice.
One of those events is about a worker stealing. He wasn't stealing from the company, but stealing from passengers' bags, more specifically, female passengers' bags. As baggage handlers, we would load the bags up into the cargo bins of aircraft. These bins were only big enough for one person, and at times that one person would be in the bin for extended periods of time. Normal workers would write random sayings on the bin walls, or play a game on their phone, but this guy did something different.
When he was up in the cargo bin, he would go through the bags until he found women's panties — clean or dirty. To show the high caliber of intelligence some of the people at the airport had, he kept all the underwear in his locker at work. There was no attempt to hide anything in his car or house; the underwear was in a bag in the break room. I'm not one to call someone stupid, but he deserves it for this one.
Did he get caught? Hell yes, he got caught. When our supervisors went through his locker, sure enough, there was the underwear. His explanation of it is comical on its own. "It's for my girlfriend." His girlfriend, if he had one, fluctuated in weight a lot because the underwear was different sizes. This doesn't reflect on every baggage handler but it shows there are some strange people touching your bags.
The Disgusting
The job of a baggage handler is a dirty one. I came in contact with bags full of unwashed clothes, shook hands with people who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom and cleaned out the restrooms. Ever wondered who cleans out the lavatory on an aircraft? Well, at CVG, that job falls to the baggage handlers. This task is worthy enough for Mike Rowe and then some.
When an aircraft needed to have its bathroom dumped, a handler would drive up next to the plane in the "lav cart." Imagine a blue electric cart that has never been washed, excrement has been spilled on it, it has a tank full of shit and the sun has been cooking its contents all day. I felt like I should have been wearing a Hazmat suit whenever I was around the damn thing. It made me throw up a little every time I was in the driver's seat.
When a baggage handler dumps a lav, he or she drives the cart up to the aircraft, hooks up the foulest smelling hose to the aircraft and pulls a lever. What comes out, I'll leave for the imagination. Once all the lovely contents are inside the cart, the "blue juice" is added, which is the liquid solution that you see when flushing an aircraft toilet.
Some handlers would dump a lav, not wash their hands and then go straight to loading bags. A person fresh from coming in close contact with human goodness would go right on touching, quite possibly, your possessions.
The Embarrassing
In the movie Fight Club the narrator tells of a policy about holding a passenger's bag if it is vibrating. At CVG I never once saw a bag being taken because it was vibrating. What we did do was either slam the bag on the ground in hopes of shutting off the razor or toothbrush — not the smartest idea if it really was an explosive. Another way we handled a vibrating bag was to call the passenger down to the ramp where we would proceed to open it to find the cause of the vibration. If you have seen Fight Club you know what is coming next. Sometimes the bag would belong to a female passenger. When her bag would be opened a certain product would be rattling around on the inside. That happened to me once and while the passenger was red-faced, I had to walk away before I began to laugh in her face. Movies can teach you something every now and then.
There is a side to an airport that most people don't know about. Sure, there are those zoo-like windows in the concourses that allow passengers to see outside, but that is just a glimpse. Does everyone want to know about what goes on behind those doors? Probably not. I'm not trying to scare people away from flying. In a way, an airport is similar to a restaurant. Taken at face value everything is great and everyone has a smile on their face, but behind closed doors disgusting, depraved and weird things are going on.
On July 21, the Roadshow will make a stop at an area venue (not yet announced) and hopefully make a few locals a little bit richer (but just a few — it's honestly more fun to watch when people's precious collectables aren't worth jack).
I like to think I'm always up on the gossip, but some newsworthy items slip under my radar, like 98 Degrees' Jeff Timmons (my childhood fave - sorry, Nick) being a Chippendales performer! Chippendales at The Rio in Las Vegas features the Cincinnati boy as their hunky headliner all summer long, extending his stay (eyebrow wiggle) several times.
So, if you like combining the most homoerotic performance ever to be marketed to middle-aged women with prepubescent boy band fantasies, and who the hell doesn't, get your ticket soon! Jeff will only be flexing his "Hardest Thing" (sorry) through Labor Day.
Or just watch this painfully awkward video of him posing for pictures!
Speaking of former child stars-turned-desperate, orange juiceheads, Baywatch alum and current Celebrity Rehab-er Jeremy Jackson has also made a bow tie-and-cuffs appearance. Some reports say he's addicted to fitness and would make excellent eye candy, so I'm guessing they haven't seen his stint on the VH1 show. Dude's addicted to German cattle steroids and cancer patient meds.
And if he's worried chemicals in bottled water will turn him gay, he clearly needs to give his Chippendales contract a second read.
Pork-themed festivals are plentiful in Cincinnati, but this weekend marks the first ever Queen City Sausage Festival. Friday-Sunday, head down to Newport on the Levee to fill your belly with brats, metts, coneys and more creative sausagey combinations. To ensure a great time for all, Hudepohl and Christian Moerlein will be serving up brewskies and there will be live music, games and kids activities. Go here for festival hours and more info.
Looking for a fest with a little more history behind it? Schutzenfest is "Zinzinnati's" oldest festival, celebrating all things German since 1866. Enjoy different types of authentic German music and performances at the Kolping Center Friday-Sunday. Don't miss the opening parade and the crowning of King and Queen Sunday afternoon. For directions and a full event schedule, go here.
This weekend's Cincinnati Boutique Sale brings every fashion-savvy gal's favorite independent shops together under one roof - the space formerly occupied by Anthropologie at Rookwood Commons, to be exact. For a suggested donation of $5 (benefiting the Karen Wellington Foundation for living with breast cancer), you can browse clothing, shoes and accessories from top local boutiques such as Soho, The Wardrobe, Sara Benjamin's and more. Go here for all the details.
Laughter is good for you. The act of laughing can lower blood pressure, make your body more resilient and even work muscles in your face and abs. So say goodbye to that double-chin and beer belly with the help of comedian Steve White, who performs at Funny Bone on the Levee through Sunday. You may recognize White from several Spike Lee films, '90s television gold (Martin, Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, need I go on?) or comedy clubs across America. Check out our interview with him here.
How about a little roadtrip? The Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus is an engaging space that celebrates visual art, music, performance art, film and everything in between. Open Saturday and Sunday during the summer, the space's galleries are currently showing three sexually-charged multimedia exhibits. Read all about them here and make the trip soon - these exhibits end July 31. In addition, Wexner's Contemporary Screen series continues Friday and Saturday night. This series promises area and regional premieres, international film festival favorites and all kinds of flicks you certainly won't find at Showcase Cinemas. This weekend you can check out The Arbor, based on the life and autobiographical writings of the late British playwright Andrea Dunbar. Be sure to check out the Wexner Center Store because, well, museum gift shops are always sweet as hell. Go here for directions, hours and ticket info.
At Sunday's OTR Pool Party, you can enjoy all the fun of dumpster diving minus the empty pizza boxes and risk of hepatitis. Back in 2009, hipsters in Brooklyn gained attention by turning unused trash receptacles into little watering holes and it wasn't that gross because the dumpsters were cleaned, sealed and covered with pool liners. And although Cincinnati's always behind the times, we're finally catching on to the trend. With a $50 donation to Chris Seelbach's City Council campaign, you can get your swim on, enjoy free grilled grub and an open bar, get framed by the fabulous photoboothers at Framester and dance to tunes spun by the almost-too-sexy Diamonn Gurr. It's sure to be one of the biggest parties of the summer, so go here for all the deets and here to register and donate early so you can skip the line Sunday.
This is just a taste of all there is to do! Go here for all of our weekly recommendations.
Go here to read part one.
Somehow Saturday morning Jeff and I woke up bright and early. Flavor Flav must have sprinkled some magic dust on us the night before, because we weren't our usual hungover pieces of shit, writhing under covers 'til noon. For this special occasion, we headed to the famous Loveless Motel & Cafe (8400, Tennessee 100, Bellevue), a comfort food mecca and Nashville landmark. Hundreds of country musicians and otherwise famous humans hung their hats here when it was a hotel and have stopped in for grub since it's been a restaurant (seriously, there are countless autographed head shots covering every square inch of the walls).

CNN asked people how much money they'd need to make in a year to feel RICH . . . and how much they'd need to be HAPPY. And no, those are NOT the same thing.
How much would you have to make this year to feel rich? The most popular answer was between $100,000 and $200,000, with 23% of the vote. Only 11% of people said they'd need to make $1 million or more.
4% of people say they'd feel rich making between $1 and $30,000 . . . and 4% would feel rich making between $30,000 and $50,000. So, wealth is clearly relative.
Now . . . how much would you need to make this year to feel happy? The most popular answer was between $100,000 and $200,000 again . . . but the rest of the numbers skewed lower.
Almost three out of five people gave an answer between $50,000 and $200,000 . . . and another one in five gave an answer under $50,000.
Only 2% of people would need to make $1 million this year to be happy . . . and 6% of people who LOVE CLICHÉS said money can't buy happiness.

TORONTO - There isn't a single kid on Toronto's roster that was alive the last time the Red Knight's failed to win a Division IV Sectional title.
Toronto captured its 19th consecutive crown with a hard-fought 6-4 victory against Shadyside Wednesday night on Niekro Diamond at Perkins Field.
Tyler Owens smacked a two-run double in the sixth inning to lift the Red Knights to the victory. Owens also tossed a complete game three-hitter to pick up the victory.
Tyler was big on the mound for us and obviously came up huge at the plate in the sixth inning there," Toronto coach Brian Perkins said. "I had complete confidence that he would come though in a clutch situation and he did just that."
Shadyside jumped out to 2-0 lead in the first inning thanks to a pair of Red Knight errors and a run-scoring single from sophomore Austin Dorris. Senior Jered Brooks brought in the other run with a perfectly executed suicide squeeze.
Toronto got one back in the bottom of the first on Owens' sacrifice fly. The Knights then tied the game up in the second on a Nate Stewart sacrifice fly.
Senior standout Adam Stupak got things going for the Tigers in the third with a one-out double. After an error, Dorris drove in his second run with a single to right center.
Senior Cody Hudson pushed the lead to 4-2 by scoring on a wild pitch.
Toronto cut the deficit to one in the bottom half of the inning as Owens touched home on a wild pitch. The Knights then knotted things in the fourth as Blaze Glenn plated a run with base knock to right.
Things stayed that way until the decisive sixth inning as Chez Glenn reached on a one-out bunt. After an out, John Romey's ground ball was misplayed setting up the Knights with two on before Owens smacked a pitch into the left center gap plating both.
"We came out and made some miscues early," Perkins explained. "But we settled down, regrouped and found a way to get the job done. Our kids just kept battling."
Toronto advance to district action Monday night at Cambridge. The Red Knights will meet the winner of Shenandoah and Hiland, which will play tonight.

CHARLESTON (AP) - Michigan's recent move to stop unions from collecting mandatory dues from non-union workers may raise the profile of that and similar issues at the West Virginia Legislature's next session.
Champions of the policy known as right-to-work include at least some House Republicans. GOP delegates plan an energetic agenda after nearly erasing the Democrats' majority in last month's election. Republican lawmakers have also targeted the prevailing wage law, which sets minimum pay levels for certain public works projects.
"I believe there is a great deal of support for both of those issues within the caucus, but we haven't discussed whether that would be the part of the agenda," House Minority Leader Tim Armstead said Friday. "There's been a great deal of concern about the effect prevailing wage has had on projects ... There are individual members who feel very strongly about (right-to-work) and believe it is a positive component for economic growth."

Union protesters hold up signs during a rally outside the Capitol in Lansing, Mich., Dec. 6.
Armstead, of Kanawha County, said that Republican delegates will begin meeting next month and only then "will finalize the issues that we want to see accomplished during the session." He added Sunday that several members of his caucus strongly support right-to-work, but he has yet to measure the extent of support among the 46 GOP members.
Democrats still hold 54 of the House's 100 seats. House Majority Whip Mike Caputo doesn't believe either issue will get much traction beyond the GOP delegates.
"I don't see our caucus interested in that at all," said Caputo, a veteran United Mine Workers union official from Marion County. "If the minority caucus wants to make political hay out of this, so be it."
Caputo's party also remains a majority in the state Senate, and its members include Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.
Senate President Jeff Kessler expects the budget, education and inmate crowding will command much of the Legislature's attention during the session that begins Feb. 13.
"I think it's something that caught people off-guard, and wasn't really vetted or reviewed," the Marshall County Democrat said of Michigan's passage of right-to-work. "I've been opposed to it in the past, and I'm still opposed to it."
This year's West Virginia right-to-work bill never emerged from the first of two House committees to which it was assigned. A measure addressing prevailing wage cleared the House Judiciary Committee but then idled amid objections from organized labor.
Unions represent just over 15 percent of West Virginia workers, according to 2011 figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's above the national average and a higher portion than all but 15 other states. It's also roughly unchanged from a decade ago. But labor has also suffered several political defeats during that time.

I'm sorry for this craziness in advance, but I am in a spot. I am not new to linux server administration, but I am to Zimbra. I inherited administration of a server a day after the previous admin upgraded from 7.1 to 7.2. For whatever reason, it was designed with apache 2.2 and with zimbra. Prior to his upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2, they both started and were functioning. Now, they are not. So, I figured it might be better to leave apache off and just use zimbra. So I added a virtualhost entry to the bottom of the zimbra httpd.conf and did a zmapachectl restart. For whatever reason, zimbra did not change the directory it was using for the virtualhost. And yes, I had the "DocumentRoot" entry in there correctly. So I thought that was strange, and just did zmapachectl stop. Amazingly, the site was still responding. So obviously restarting zimbra-apache doesn't really restart the web service.
I'm really just looking for pointers as to where to start looking. We're about to overhaul the entire site and having to copy the files from the apache directory to the zimbra directory is kind of a pain. I have read the documentation, but unfortunately, it seems to really cover what I'm doing accurately.
