LQ9 Truck Engine - Blown Alky LSWritten by Marlan Davis on December 1, 2007 Would You Believe 751 Hp With Magnuson's Latest 1900-Series High-Helix Blower And Alcohol Injection. On The Stock Bottom End!
For the past several months HOT ROD and Duttweiler Performance have been evaluating the performance potential of the widely available 6.0L LS-series truck engine. Beginning with a stock 355hp/396 lb-ft baseline output on a GM Performance Parts (GMPP) LQ9 crate truck motor, it first received basic intake and exhaust enhancements ("Hopping GM's 6.0L LS-Series Small-Block," Oct. '07) before being treated to GM's new L92 performance cylinder heads and a progressively more aggressive series of Crane Cams ("6.0L Hop-Up, Part II," Nov. '07). We left off last month with the engine still normally aspirated, making 510 hp and 462 lb-ft with electronic fuel injection (EFI) on the GM Holden Australian L76 car EFI manifold, and 539 hp and 452 lb-ft with a 750-cfm carburetor on GM's single-plane carburetor-style intake.
Bear witness to the awesome potential of an LS-series 6.0L truck engine. Equipped with a Crane hydraulic roller cam, GMPP L92 heads, Magnuson Products' new high-helix 1900-series supercharger, and alcohol injection, the engine-still running the stock short-block-pounded out 751 hp and 621 lb-ft on 91-octane Chevron pump gas.
But we weren't done yet. Not by a long shot. The previous tests hinted at yet untapped potential, even with the existing normally aspirated combination. So far the best numbers had been achieved with computer-friendly cams utilizing fairly wide lobe separation angles. A narrower LSA cam had the potential to perform better with a carburetor. Also, the EFI and carburetor tests were run using two completely different intake manifolds-a long- runner, production factory- type intake with EFI, and a classic short-runner/single-plane configuration with the carburetor. That was like comparing apples and oranges. We wondered how EFI would stack up in a head-to-head showdown with the carburetor on the same intake manifold. Then, too, the 750-cfm carb was pulling vacuum on the top end, indicating that a bigger carb might perform better on the dyno. So we decided to tie up these loose ends before finally bringing out the big guns: Magnuson Products' new high-efficiency supercharger, backed by alcohol injection. Get ready for some serious power output, well over 700 hp.
750 VS. 950 Carb
Duttweiler wanted to try a bigger carburetor, as last month's 750-cfm Bill Mitchell unit had been pulling vacuum of about 131/44 inches of mercury (in-Hg) on the top end. He bolted on a Holley Ultra 4150 HP 950-cfm carb, Holley's trickest 4150-flanged offering. But in this instance, although the big carb pulled just 11/44-in-Hg vacuum at 7,000, it performed only marginally better, adding just 0.8 hp and 4.5 lb-ft of torque at the peaks.
In terms of overall average numbers, the 950 was worth 1.9 lb-ft and 1.3 hp compared to the 750. Still, the 950's peak 541.5 hp and 461.5 lb-ft represent the high-water mark for our normally aspirated tests. If there was more development time available, we could have played with the Ultra's adjustable bleeds, but realistically at this performance level the pricey carb is probably overkill.
Wide Vs. Narrow LSA
On cams with otherwise identical lift and duration specifications, theory holds that increasing the overlap between the intake and exhaust lobes by narrowing the lobe separation angle (LSA) can help pull more fuel through a carburetor installed on a single-plane, short-runner intake. This should at least help pick up the low and midrange, although not necessarily the top end. To evaluate this, Crane took last month's best power profile but reground the lobes with a 110-degree LSA in place of the previous 115-degree spec.
Running with the same 750-cfm double-pumper carb, Wilson 1.5-inch-tall tapered spacer, GMPP single-plane intake, and MSD timing/rev-control unit used on last month's best power combo, the new cam improved the overall curve significantly, with the engine up 5-10 numbers below 6,600 rpm. On average, the tight-LSA cam was worth 7.3 lb-ft and 9.3 hp. The engine's new peak 540.7hp and 457.0-lb-ft output represented a gain of 1.9 and 4.8 numbers, respectively. The power peak was also raised 200 rpm (from 6,700 to 6,900-7,000 rpm). Duttweiler did not want to spin the engine past 7,000 with the stock factory rods and rod bolts.
Carb VS. EFI
Prevailing wisdom holds that although EFI may not make as much peak power as a well-tuned carburetor, with EFI the overall area under the curve should be broader, the torque curve smoother, and the low and midrange better. Muddying the waters on most street-oriented tests is the usual long-runner design of the EFI intake, while the best carburetor configurations are typically high-rise, short-runner, open-plenum types.
GM's carbureted single-plane intake (PN 25534401) is cast with residual bosses that can be drilled and tapped for EFI nozzles and fuel rails. Duttweiler sent the intake to the experts at Hogan's Racing Manifolds for the conversion. Hogan's forte is custom sheetmetal intakes, but it also can do a simple job like adding EFI capability to existing castings.
Duttweiler sent the GM carb intake tested last month out to Hogan's Racing Manifolds to receive EFI bosses and fuel rails. That let us conduct a direct head-to-head comparison using 30-lb/hr fuel injectors, an ACCEL/DFI 1,000-cfm throttle body, and the same GM factory computer recalibrated with the HP Tuners VCM software suite used in our previous EFI Part I and II tests.
Compared to the best previous fuel-injection test (using the GM Holden L76 car-type EFI intake, a 90mm FAST throttle body, and the 115 LSA camshaft), fuel injection on the short-runner intake lost about 20 lb-ft of peak torque, and the peak occurred 300 rpm higher (462 lb-ft at 5,300 rpm for the Holden compared to 442 lb-ft at 5,600 for the single-plane). On the other hand, EFI's power output was higher on the single-plane (516 hp at 7,000 rpm compared to 510 hp at 5,200 for the Holden). In terms of overall average output, torque was about even (406 lb-ft for the single-plane, 404 lb-ft for the Holden), but the single-plane made much more average power (352 hp compared to 330 hp). Nevertheless, in the so-called midrange area-between 3,200 and 5,300 rpm-the GM Holden intake and wide-LSA cam beat the single-plane EFI and narrow-LSA combo in both power and torque.
On comparing the EFI single-plane setup to the carburetor on the same intake, the results were downright disappointing. The 950-cfm carb proved superior to EFI at every point in the rpm scale in both torque and power output. At the peaks, EFI managed only 516.1 hp and 541.5 lb-ft, a loss of 25.4 hp and 19.1 lb-ft compared to the numbers developed by the 950-cfm carb. EFI was also down big overall across the board.
To be fair, we only had several hours available to play with the EFI system. Days of development time may be warranted-going way beyond fuel- and spark-calibration issues and actually addressing the system's physical layout. For example, as is typical on most conversions of existing (as opposed to custom-built) carbureted intakes, the injectors were placed close to the runner exits for ease of installation and fuel-rail interface. The new L92 heads and single-plane intake may prefer a more upstream nozzle placement. Given enough time, one could experiment with moving the nozzles progressively upstream closer to the plenum and/or changing their intersection angle relative to the axis of the runners. With the single-plane's short runners, the injector spray initiation timing may require alteration to achieve optimum fuel sequencing in comparison to the long-runner factory intakes. This option is not available with the stock factory computer and would require a sophisticated aftermarket ECU like those offered by MoTeC.
Blower Vs. Blower
Normally aspirated, our 6.0L engine was up to 540 hp using a carburetor. That's impressive on the stock short-block, but at this point the car's street manners were starting to go away. But the combination of EFI and a state-of-the-art supercharger designed to work with modern electronics provides the ability to go fast without sacrificing driveability. So it was time for a radical departure: Shove in a milder cam, namely Crane's 144HR00118 with 216/224 degrees at 0.050 on 118-degree lobe separation, as evaluated last month. Those specs may not seem very impressive, but our strategy now was to bolt on a high-efficiency Magnuson supercharger, an eminently suitable application for this camshaft.
Here's the model 122 bolted to Magnuson's L92 head-compatible intake. Magnuson blowers are based on the modern Eaton superchargers found on many OEM applications. Magnuson's kits include the blower, an intercooler, a voltage enhancer for the stock fuel pump (which speeds it up for additional output under boost), and higher-capacity injectors.
Based on current Eaton OEM technology, Magnuson superchargers are designed primarily for late-model engines. They make gobs of power, many kits are 50-state smog-legal, and they're happy on premium pump gas. The basic Magnuson blower is based on a 112ci-displacement Eaton supercharger, but we moved right up to the larger 122 (we certainly had the cylinder-head flow to support it). At the time of these tests Magnuson had just come out with an L92 head-compatible intake manifold, and we received one of the first prototypes. Once again, Duttweiler ran the blower off the stock GM computer (recalibrated as necessary via HP Tuners VCM software suite), using the same 90mm FAST production-style throttle body as in our normally aspirated Part I and II EFI tests.
With the standard 3.1-inch-od top drive pulley, the Magnuson 122 was worth 130 hp and 95 lb-ft over the best previous normally aspirated combination (the Holley 950-cfm Ultra HP carb on the GM single-plane intake), making just shy of 10 pounds of boost, still on Chevron 91-octane unleaded gas. Detonation was kept under control with judicious computer recalibration, so Duttweiler decided to up the ante with a smaller 2.9-inch-od upper drive pulley. Spinning ever faster to make 11.5 pounds of boost, power jumped to 683.3 hp at 6,600 rpm, with a whopping 581.7 lb-ft of torque from 5,200 to 5,300 rpm. The engine made over 500 hp from 4,600 rpm on up and over 600 hp at over 5,500 rpm. Torque numbers exceeded 500 lb-ft from 2,300 rpm on up. At this point some incipient detonation was noted, indicating the 122 was just about done on pump gas at around 12 psi of boost.
As good as the 122 is, Magnuson has come up with something even better: its next-generation TVS four-lobe supercharger. We were able to get our hands on one of the first of these 1900-series blowers. Although it's slightly smaller than the 122, the paper specs make the 1900 out to be much more efficient. However, because it is smaller, the blower needs to spin faster to make the same boost. On the 1900,,it required a 2.7-inch pulley (the smallest available) to make about the same 10 psi of boost as a 3.1-inch pulley did on the 122.
On a mechanically driven blower, when you run out of smaller top-pulley options the usual solution is a larger crank pulley. This isn't easy on an LS-series engine, as the serpentine belt pulley is cast integrally with the harmonic damper. Normally Magnuson gets around this with an intermediate driveshaft setup, but one wasn't yet available for the new TVS series. Duttweiler feels this blower should be stable on pump gas at up to 14 psi once the driveshaft option comes online.
But even with the 2.7-inch pulley running at 10 psi, the 1900 generally outperformed the 122 with its 2.9-inch pulley at 11.5 psi. The 1900 gained 11 more horsepower and 23 lb-ft at the peaks, as well as generating better numbers under most of the curve. Only between 5,200 and 6,300 rpm was the 122/11.5-psi combo slightly better. Now making 694.2 hp with the 1900 blower, our 6.0 was up over 200 hp compared to the normally aspirated EFI combo running the same Crane cam (see "6.0L Hop-Up, Part II," Nov. '07). It still idles at 18 inches of vacuum and should fit under the hood on most late-models.
Alcohol Injection
After all this flogging, the stock short-block was still together, so we crossed our fingers and decided to try one more bolt-on: an aftermarket alcohol-injection system. Today's alky kits work with modern electronics, allowing you to run nearly race-gas ignition-timing numbers on pump premium gas. You can inject methanol, ethanol, or even windshield-washer fluid through these units for a significant power boost. (In fact, some kits use the stock windshield-washer fluid reservoir.) Alcohol-particularly methanol-has higher knock resistance than gasoline, plus it provides some additional charge-air cooling when injected ahead of the blower in the inlet duct. Supplementary alcohol injection may also alleviate the need for upgrading a production-based fuel system to huge injectors, a bigger fuel pump, and increased-diameter fuel lines when moving up to high boost levels. That in turn minimizes ECU-recalibration issues and avoids low-speed idle quality and driveability woes.
Duttweiler has tried a bunch of alky-injection kits and says that when dialed in they all add about the same power. Use the one that best suits your needs. Here are three representative kits, from left: Snow Performance's Boost Cooler includes a pump, reservoir, and control components; it's a good choice for medium- to low-boost setups. Alkycontrol uses the stock windshield-washer-fluid reservoir and has a sophisticated control that tailors injection volume to boost pressure by varying the amount of voltage delivered to its supplementary pump. Alcohol Injection Systems' strap-on kit easily mounts in the trunk or other convenient location.
Bolting on the alcohol-injection system and filling the reservoir with methanol, Duttweiler dialed in 24 degrees of total advance, the same amount run with EFI in the normally aspirated configuration. Methanol requires a different air/fuel ratio from gasoline, so to maximize the gains Duttweiler also leaned out the ECU's power-enrichment tables by approximately 17 percent.
With the timing and fuel curves optimized, the engine was drunk with power, thundering to 751.4 hp at 6,700 rpm and 621.1 lb-ft at 4,700. Average output between 2,500 and 6,700 rpm was in excess of 522 hp and 585 lb-ft! It made over 600 hp from 5,100 rpm on up and over 600 lb-ft from 4,000 to 6,500 rpm.
And that's a heck of a long pull from what the stock LQ9 crate motor started out with back in Part I. We're looking at 400hp and 225-lb-ft gains on a stock short-block that still retains daily driveability. That shows the awesome potential of the LS-series engine, but there's no doubt we were pushing it with the stock powdered-metal rods and cast pistons. For repeated abuse under real-world, in-car conditions, we'd strongly recommend a forged bottom end. Once you bulletproof that bottom end and obtain either a custom damper with a bigger lower drive pulley or an intermediate driveshaft for the TVS, you are looking at a potential 800 streetable horsepower.

On this engine, the 750 and 950 were very close. They traded places throughout the rpm scale. Curiously, the big 950 demonstrated its greatest superiority under 2,500 rpm, where it was up by about 20 lb-ft at some points.LSA is the angle in camshaft degrees between a given cam profile's intake and exhaust lobe centerlines. In a comparison of two custom-ground Crane hydraulic roller cams, the 110-degree-LSA grind proved stronger than an otherwise identical 115-degree LSA at just about every rpm.ACCEL's 4150-flange, 1,000-cfm throttle body bolted right in place of the Holley carburetor. As with the carbs, the best EFI numbers were obtained with the 111/42-inch Wilson spacer. ACCEL four-barrel throttle bodies have progressive linkage for good real-world driveability. They come with integral TPS and IAC sensors.It turned out that the existing cast-in nozzle and rail-stand bosses were oriented at different angles that required a complex machining setup. With time constraints, Hogan's simply welded on new bosses and different attaching bosses for the fuel rails. Hogan gets $475 for a conversion like this.The same late-GM MAF meter used previously with the factory EFI intakes was mounted to the aftermarket throttle body using this bellows arrangement.Magnuson's current top-dog blower, the fifth-generation 122 supercharger (left), was matched against a prototype of its sixth-generation blower series, the TVS MP1900 (right). Despite being slightly smaller (a 1900 displaces 117 ci compared to the 122's 122 ci), the new 1900 is more efficient at equal manifold pressures and has fewer parasitic losses.The liquid-to-air intercooler that comes standard in Magnuson's kit is hidden underneath the blower in the intake manifold's valley area. When you buy a Magnuson kit, the blower, intercooler, and intake come preassembled, ready to bolt onto the motor.To complement the new four-lobe rotors, the 1900 blower housing's inlets and outlets were extensively reconfigured. Compare the U-shaped TVS case (right) to the more conventionally shaped fifth-generation profile (left). The improved airflow path not only increases flow and enhances efficiency, it helps make these already-quiet units run even more quietly.
The new Magnuson intakes for L92 heads come machined to accept production-style composite intake gaskets.Boost was increased by swapping top pulleys. However, we ran out of pulley on the new TVS 1900. It'll require an intermediate driveshaft to go over 10 psi of boost.The Eaton-Magnuson's secret is its high-helix rotors, which greatly improve efficiency compared to old-school GMC-based Roots blowers. And the advantage is only increasing: Where the fifth-generation 112 and 122 blowers used a three-lobe, 60-degree-twist rotor pack (left), the new TVS steps up with radical 160-degree-twist, four-lobe rotors (right).Magnuson blowers use quiet, stock-style serpentine belts. The low-friction rotor pack doesn't require power-sapping cogged belts to spin the blower. We ran a typical Magnuson truck-drive setup. The only major change from stock is a longer belt and an added idler pulley (arrow).Many Magnuson kits use a rear inlet, making for more compact packaging and simpler front drives. The rear-inlet configuration may also flow slightly better than the front-loaders. This is the FAST 90mm throttle body on the new TVS 1900 used in these tests. It is a prototype installation, and the final production version will be cleaned up with more sanitary plumbing.

By: FSU Army ROTC
January 27, 2013
The FSU ROTC Ranger Challenge Team had it's annual Ranger Challenge Competition at Camp Blanding Florida this weekend which lasted two days with the first day consisting of a land navigation course, map reading exam and rifle marksmanship shoot.
The second day was a 13.4 mile round robin course that incorporated 5 events that tested the team members technical and tactical skills, and a Commaders Challenge event. The competition consisted of 38 teams from Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisana, Alabama and Puerto Rico.
FSU was the two time defending champions, but ended the competition with the runner up trophy losing to Georgia Southern by one point. FSU ROTC Ranger Challenge Team 2 won the marksmanship event of the competition.
This was new change in which the event was conducted in the previous years which made the competition more physically and mentally challenging.
Both FSU teams represented FSU very well during the competition.

text: By Carolyn LeeThe Imperial Republican The transfer of ownership of Champion Mill State Historical Park (SHP) and State Recreation Area (SRA) from the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) to Chase County will take place in a ceremony at the mill July 1. In a "short and sweet" ceremony at 10 a.m., according to County Clerk Debbie Clark, speakers will include State Sen. Mark Christensen of Imperial; Kirk Nelson, West Regional Manager of the NGPC Parks Division, and a Chase County Commissioner, to be determined. Champion Mill State Historical Park and State Recreation Area, located adjacent to the town of Champion, comprise approximately 11 acres, most of which is the lake created by the damming of the Frenchman River at the mill. The mill was built in the late 1800s. Local contractors George and Henry Spady were hired in 1915 to add on to the mill. Nebraska Game and Parks Commission purchased the property in 1969, operating the area as a historical park and public recreation facility. The mill was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. Following a severe flood and hailstorm in June 2007, part of the dam gates were damaged and the lake was emptied. NGPC refurbished the dam, raceways and shoreline and the mill was repainted and reroofed this past year. Roger Kuhn, Parks Administrator for NGPC, said "In essence, Chase County will receive a newly renovated park for it to manage for public use. The Commission wishes to express sincere thanks to all the citizens of Champion and Chase County who have assisted with the operation and maintenance of the mill during difficult budget times." He continued, "We know the dedicated folks of Champion and Chase County will continue to protect and enhance this valuable national resource." NGPC is transferring ownership of the property to Chase County in an effort to pare its budget. The area is the eighth such property given up by NGPC in the last five years, Wilson said. "We haven't been able to maintain the park (Champion) as in the past. A lot of our parks are in the same shape." If at any time Champion Mill and Lake become an economic burden to Chase County, or if the county ceases to operate the property as a public park and recreation area, NGPC will step back in as owner, as required in LB 16, passed by the Nebraska Legislature this past February.

First of all...Thanks Eastman!! The help provided by the site and magazine for going through the western draw process has made it all a lot easier than it would be if I had to track all that down on my own...
I was certain i posted this basic same post the other day,but I am unable to find it... so here is a second try.
My wife and I got our third choice draw, however we are excited to get out there and begin to learn our way around western mule deer hunting. I have a lot of planning to do and need to get in the best of shape before I hit the hills. In a lot of ways, we will be the typcial eastern, first timers. Amy has made it clear that any decent 4X is on the ground, stating that she has only shot a few bucks since she started hunting and she is not going to get too picky (thus why i picked a Gila unit as third choice).
On the other hand, i will want to go after the best deer I can, for the unit. So, I will be trying to track down info for that unit I am assuming we will focus on the northen end of the unit, but I am open to suggestions if anyone has experience in the GMU.
There are a few logistics i need to work out and woudl appreciate some input on the following:
- base camp or spike camp? In this unit, which is likely to be my best advantage? I have quite a bit of backpacking experience, and several 7-10 day rocky mountain trips under my belt (though it has been years and I was younger, better shape). I am comfortable with back country trips, even in the cold, and have a little mountaineering under my belt also. I do need to research what the weather extremes can be for the unit in November because cold gear will get heavy for my wife, especially with hunting gear. It seems that the risk i run, by commiting to pack in and stay in the backcountry, is that I may be commited to a basin that does not have what I am looking for....on the other hand, i will get to more remote areas......the unit may not even have very remote areas. I am going to download the the GIS shapefiles from NMDGF today and start learning the terrain and access..
- If i fly to NM rather than drive what do i do about getting meat and a trophy home. This might seem like a stupid question, but I driven to all of my hunts to the praries for duck, pheasant and deer each year for the past 30 years. I may drive this one too but the wife does not have the time off i do so i will have to drive it on my own and let her fly. It is cheaper to fly these days and i travel so much for work i have flight and rental car benefits that make it pretty cheap...
Any input is helpful. I am going to post a question optics, after i have reviewed what has already been posted previously..
Thanks in advance and get out and enjoy your wester summer. NC is now hot (upper 90s) and humid, so I am in hibernation mode, planning my Nov. trip to NM, and Oct. trip to ND. dreaming of cool weather..

PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. -- An animal cruelty trial began on Tuesday in the case of a starving dog found with a rubber band clamping its mouth shut and the woman accused of neglecting him.
One of the key questions in this case is how that rubber band became wrapped around Sox the dog's muzzle. Public defenders representing Sox's former owner, Tieesha Cogdell, say she doesn't know how it got there, and only found it after the Yorkie-poodle mix started having trouble breathing. They say she tried to seek help from friends after noticing that he was having problems, and that his hair was so long that it hid the rubber band.
Attorneys for the state, however, say that rubber band is just one reason why the jury should find Cogdell guilty of animal cruelty.
The state called several witnesses, including the SPCA Tampa Bay Humane Officer, who was initially sent to Cogdell's house after an anonymous tip came in, and the Clearwater police officer who later became involved in the case. They both agreed that Sox needed help.
"[Sox] was a little furball covered in feces, fleas, and the only thing you could see was two small eyes," SPCA Humane Officer Jill Purl recalls.
One thing they couldn't yet see was the rubber band around his muzzle and how much damage it had caused. Purl says she later asked Cogdell about the rubber band.
"She said she didn't know how the rubber band got on the dog's muzzle. I asked her how long the band had been on there. She said approximately nine days," Purl says.
Cogdell declined to testify on her own behalf. Closing arguments are expected to happen on Wednesday before the jury deliberates and returns with a verdict.

Even though many are upset about the bowl loss, Florida State football fans are loyal ones.
It was a game fans for both teams weren't exactly excited about to begin with; the Florida State Seminoles versus the Miami Hurricanes again. On a serious note, now that it's over, Seminole fans have something to say.
"I just think Miami owns Florida State right now, like Florida State owns the Gators. It's a mental thing," said Jack Shiflet.
But other fans say they will be true to their school, and no matter what the record, still love Bowden's boys.
"I think they're the greatest team on the planet. We need to work on our coaching, but I love them!" said Curtis Harris.
Most fans say, now that this bowl game is over, they can't wait for some redemption come next football season when the Seminoles kick off the season against the hurricanes.
That opening game will happen Labor Day weekend in September.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
It all began with a television producer's phone call asking KraftMaid to help a deserving family in need of a fresh start. Seasons later, we are proud to remain the exclusive cabinetry provider of ABC's award-winning program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Episode 5The Urban Family
Trisha Urban suffered a terrible tragedy with the untimely death of her husband, Andy, on the same day that their daughter was born. Due to a pre-existing heart condition, Andy was denied health care coverage, which ultimately lead to his demise. Trisha refuses to let her husband's death be in vain by rallying for heath care reform. This single mother struggles to work two jobs and raise her baby in the 300-year-old crumbling log cabin that was Andy's dream to remodel. Extreme Makeover travels to Hamburg, Pennsylvania to design the dream home that Trisha and her late husband, Andy, had once hoped for.
Hickory wood cabinets in the Natural finish were built in the kitchen, laundry and mud room, keeping with the log cabin feel of the the Urban's original home. Aged Bronze knobs and pulls were selected to embellish the laundry cabinets, with Barnstead inserts highlighting the doors. KraftMaid's Biscotti with Cocoa Glaze, a cream-tones painted finish was chosen for the kitchen island cabinets. Copper knob and cup pulls accented the kitchen with a farmhouse feel. Finally, a comfortable window seat in the guest room was constructed with birch cabinets beneath, finished in the rich brown Cognac.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I don't think Exposure's chargers are two piece seperate cable and plug in box (at least mine isn't), so if you want to be able to charge off a USB, you'll need this. $10 is pretty good insurance to leave at the office if you forgot to charge at home. Won't tell you when the light's charged.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. (WUSA) -- A man already brought to the hospital by police earlier on Sunday for an evaluation reportedly became agitated and then wrapped his legs around an officer. He was later charged.
Police say on Sunday at 5:15 p.m., officers went to the Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center on Opitz Blvd in Woodbridge for the report of a disorderly subject. Thirty-seven-year-old James Archedlaus Gough became upset and wrapped his legs around an officer, leading to a brief struggle before he was detained, according to police.
No one was injured, say police.
Gough was charged with assault & battery on a law enforcement officer.

WASHINGTON - As the White House race remains tight nationally, President Barack Obama's campaign is banking on a get-out-the-vote operation and state-by-state signs of economic improvement to find an edge in battlegrounds from Ohio to Virginia.
Republican Mitt Romney, re-energized by last week's debate, is flashing confidence on the campaign trail. But aides have outlined no clear path to winning the 270 Electoral College votes required to gain the White House.
"Things are going pretty good," the usually cautious Romney said Monday with a smile.

President Barack Obama speaks at the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument on Monday in Keene, Calif.
"Ultimately this is a tight race, and it's going to remain a tight race until the end," said Bill Burton, who runs Priorities USA Action, a pro-Obama super political action committee.
Indeed, one month from Election Day, polls show a close race. And with millions of Americans already voting and the potential for game-changing moments diminishing, the candidates have little room for error as they seek to sway a narrow swath of undecided voters.
Obama aides acknowledge Romney's strong turn on the debate stage gave him a boost. But they also argue that Romney's momentum was arrested somewhat by a Friday jobs report showing the unemployment rate declined to 7.8 percent, the lowest level of Obama's presidency. No president since World War II has won re-election with the jobless rate higher than 7.3 percent.
They claim the president was thrown during the debate by what they call Romney's willingness to abandon his previous positions, including his $5 trillion tax cut proposal. In the next debate - and in advertisements before then - the Democrat and his aides are expected to accuse Romney of lying about his own plans.
Romney's team, meanwhile, is tempering expectations that tight national polls will translate into success on the ground in the key states most likely to decide the race. Things may be moving in the right direction, they say, but significant work remains.
Still, they see Obama's campaign as becoming desperate.
"It seems pretty clear that their new strategy is basically just call us liars, to descend down into a mud pit and hopefully, with enough mudslinging back and forth and distortion, people will get demoralized and they can win by default," said Romney running mate Paul Ryan.
Both Democrats and Republicans say internal campaign surveys following the debate show Romney has cut into the lead Obama had built up in some key battleground states. Romney pulled ahead of Obama, 49 to 45 percent nationally, among likely voters according to a Pew Research Center poll conducted after the debate.
In a foreign policy speech at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va., on Monday, Romney cast himself as a statesman who would be part of a long, bipartisan tradition of American leadership in the world. He said the U.S. should use its power "wisely, with solemnity and without false pride, but also firmly and actively."
Romney is to deliver at least two more speeches in the coming weeks focused on job growth and debt and spending.
As Obama's aides tried to poke holes in Romney's foreign policy address, Obama declared a national monument at the Keene, Calif., home of Latino labor leader Cesar Chavez, the United Farmworkers Union founder who died in 1993.
Obama's move came at the start of a day in which he also was raising political cash at events in San Francisco, as his campaign closed in on $1 billion in donations. Democrats said the $181 million they raised in September would allow Obama to keep advertising heavily on television in all battleground states and fully fund major registration and early voting efforts in the campaign's crucial final weeks.
The president has get-out-the-vote offices that never closed after the 2008 campaign. Democrats say that network helped them register more than 130,000 new voters - most in battleground states in the week before the debate.
In the season of debates, next up is the only match-up between Vice President Joe Biden and Ryan.
A recent comment from Biden caused concern for Democrats with an acknowledgement that the middle class has been "buried" during Obama's years in office.

Though Their Missions And activities may seem almost identical on the surface, competitive- intelligence and market-research teams serve distinct purposes. Market-research teams typically focus on supporting a specific franchise or therapeutic area by identifying market gaps for their products to fill. Competitive-intelligence teams, on the other hand, use similar data—along with countless other resources—to predict market changes, preempt competitor activities, and develop strategic contingency plans.
"Obviously, the focus on competitors is a unique purview of competitive intelligence," says one director of competitive intelligence. "Competitive intelligence has the greatest potential to see where competitors are going."
Market Research and CI Evolve
Fifty years ago, market-research groups enjoyed vast resources—large budgets and staffs to support almost any research need—as the industry began to adapt to more consumer-driven markets. Slowly, though, companies pulled back their market-research dollars and eventually shrank internal market-research groups to one or two team members.
The pharma industry witnessed some of the most drastic cuts in market-research resources. In the mid-1980s, pharmaceutical market-research teams were almost non-existent, even in the most-respected firms. Outsourcing became a quiet solution to data collection and cost savings. Most pharma companies outsourced all their market-research work during the 1980s.
The 1990s, however, saw a shift back to building internal market-research teams, which has lasted to the present. Those teams were built to support the blockbuster generation: Find a market gap, use the data to develop a first-to-market product, and brace yourself for the sales upswing. As scores of blockbuster products approach patent expiration and companies begin looking to lifecycle management teams to expand their franchises, market-research resources are settling to a more comfortable size.
Today's internal market-research teams consist of only eight to 10 employees, nowhere near the comparatively huge teams of decades past. And 86 percent of pharmaceutical companies still outsource much of their market research.
At around the same time that market research experienced its strategic boom, competitive intelligence grew as a core competency in a number of key industries—from aerospace and consumer goods to pharmaceuticals and healthcare. Companies gave their competitive-intelligence groups the same kind of treatment they'd given market-research teams, turning them into separately funded strategic-support functions. Dedicated competitive-intelligence functions sprang up, backed by tens of millions of dollars in budgets for a modest five-to-10-person staff.
Within pharmaceuticals, almost every major company enhanced its competitive-intelligence function between 1998 and 2001 by allocating more resources. And competitive-intelligence departments received praise for making major strategic impact. Pfizer, for example, relied heavily on its competitive-intelligence team's data on Warner-Lambert's potential suitors. Based on that information, Pfizer managed to swoop in and take the Warner-Lambert deal away from a major competitor, giving Pfizer exclusive rights to the blockbuster cholesterol treatment Lipitor (atorvastatin).

Does this bike have any extra electrical output? Like for electric gloves and jacket?
I'm not expecting alot from this bike. This question is one of the least answered about any bike. I for one don't understand why. Just ask this on Stromtrooper and see how much hemming and hawing goes on. Between where I live and my age, staying warm is pretty darn important to me.
From what I have heard it takes all the bike can generate to run the lights, horn etc. but when I brought this up before no one responded. I had hoped there was someone knowledgeable enough to determine if I could use an electric vest that drew 47W. Surely someone out there knows how to figure this out.
In short, no, there is not 47W to spare.Hope this helps.Andy
There is a source of higher output alternators available in the UK that give out up to 120 watts for use with the Bullet but not I think the Electra. Maybe they will produce such a device but I am guessing not. Lots of nicad batteries???

helped the Los Angeles Lakers snap out of their worst slide in six years.
Howard tallied 22 points and 14 rebounds as the Lakers put the brakes on a
six-game skid with a 113-93 triumph over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Howard, who has missed the last three games with a right shoulder injury, went
9-of-11 from the field for Los Angeles, which finally earned its first win of
the new year to put an end to the team's worst losing streak since February of
Pau Gasol, though, is still out of the lineup. He missed his fourth straight
game due to a concussion.
Kobe Bryant added 23 points and six assists in the victory.
Kyrie Irving recorded 15 points, seven assists and three steals for the Cavs,
who have dropped seven of their last nine contests.

Some of the lady ballers from the WTA Tour got all glammed up last night for the annual Ralph Lauren Sony Ericsson Pre-Wimbledon Party hosted by Richard Branson at The Roof Gardens.
Vera Zvonareva, Venus + Serena Williams, Anne Keothavong, Ana Ivanovic, and Elena Dementieva put on their best model face for a beautiful shot taken during a photo session at the event.
Apparently, the big theme of the night was bright + shiny fabrics and accessories. With the exception of MAYBE Svetlana Kuznetsova who looks like a gift box with (thick) legs, the ladies look drop dead. Even Serena Williams' "genie-in-a-bottle" moment works - go figure.
You know, more often than not, I cringe at what they choose to wear at these events because it always looks like they got dressed in the dark. Could it be Ralph Lauren provided the wardrobe this time around? If so, then nice moves RL. Nice moves.

i love elena here, she looks like a barbie doll!!! and i love ana here, looking fabulous as always!! and serena is looking good at the group pix...ReplyDelete
Rich, let me get your opinion on this: What do you think about them spray-tanning their feet? Whenever I see the players dressed up, their ghost-white feet and ankles always stand out to me. Do you think they should go for that orange glow?ReplyDelete

It's disturbing how Svetlana manages to look like a drag queen when she's made up.ReplyDelete
Sveta: Ouch.ReplyDelete
The others all look fab, though. Esp Elena and Ana. And Anne Keothavong looks pretty too. I'm nicely surprised at the ladies...

Haha, yeah, the feet look indeed stupid, especially Ana's! And poor Svetlana needs to get a better stylist. The lipstick alone! Re: feet. The boys have the same problem. I have seen pictures of Fed and Rafa in casual wear.. OMG. And men's feet are erm.. not pretty in general imho.ReplyDelete
I like what Serena is wearing but the crotch of those pants is highly disturbing.ReplyDelete
Venus- looks great.ReplyDelete
Serena- overall, looks nice, but crotch area a little too long????lol
Elena- looks like she tooks something from one of her Elle russia shoots.
Sveta- ..........nice smile??
Ana/Vera- THEY LOOK LIKE MOTHERS going to a retirement dinner....yikes, Ana needs a stylist, she has SO much potential, maybe even let Maria dress her......
I think Vera and Sveta look awful.ReplyDelete
Vera's shoes are plain ugly and don't really match the dress. Plus, the colour of the dress doesn't compliment her skin tone.
And Sveta... well, drag queen it is. Dunno how she does it, really.
The others look really nice I think! Esp. Venus!
It's true though, Ana's white feet and ankles look funny, hehe.

Military mission in Central African Republic approved by EU
Newscast Media BRUSSELS—The EU has approved sending soldiers to the Central African Republic, whose role is to help restore security in the country, which has been gripped by sectarian violence and political instability since last year.
EU foreign ministers approved a military mission to the Central African Republic (CAR) during a meeting in Brussels on Monday. The number of soldiers could not be confirmed by initial reports, which estimated the EU would deploy between 500 and 1,000 troops to the region. It was not immediately clear which nations from the 28-member bloc would send troops.
Last month, France contributed 1,600 soldiers to a 4,000-strong African Union mission on the ground tasked with maintaining order in CAR. France had been urging its allies to provide aid since December when sectarian clashes linked to political instability in the country escalated and unleashed a humanitarian crisis. The proposed EU mission now awaits ratification by the United Nations Security
The EU Humanitarian Aid Commission also announced on Monday that CAR would receive roughly 678 million euros ($500 million) in humanitarian aid.
"Today's meeting put an end to the Central African Republic being an aid orphan forever," the humanitarian aid commissioner, Kristalina Georgieva, said.
Unrest has continued despite the resignation of CAR interim President Michel Djotodia. The transitional leader agreed to step down in early January after coming under pressure from the international community for failing to take effective action to end the clashes.
Djotodia, CAR's first Muslim president, rose to power last March with the help of the Islamist Seleka rebel group, which had led a coup against the government. By the fall, Djotodia attempted to ban the rebel faction. The country experienced renewed violence after Christian groups began carrying out retaliatory attacks against Seleka militants.
According to UN figures, nearly one million people have been displaced by the conflict. In the capital, Bangui, half of the population, some 350,000 people, has been displaced.

Howard Scientist Seeks Patients for Alzheimer's Research
The chief of Howard University Hospital's geriatrics department is looking for participants for investigational studies of drugs and treatment to control Alzheimer's disease.
The disease, which irreversibly eradicates memory, is the target of Dr. Thomas Obisesan, chief of the Division of Geriatrics at Howard University Hospital.
He is overseeing research of ways of controlling or reversing the insidious disease that claims a new victim every 70 seconds in America and is said by health researchers to cause 75 percent of all memory loss in adults. Treating it triples health care costs for Americans 65 and older and costs the nation more than $148 billion each year.
Obisesan, in a $2 million, two-year National Institutes of Health program, is looking into whether memory loss could be reversed, or at the least slowed by something as simple as jogging, swimming, riding a bicycle or a daily walk in the local shopping mall.
He is seeking patients who may be experiencing early signs of Alzheimer's to participate in his study, according to university officials.
Obisesan developed his hypothesis after evaluating data collected by the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
After studying statistics for thousands of elderly adults, Obisesan found "very significant" evidence that those who involved aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, swimming, dancing or bicycling had better memories than those who didn't.
The evidence was so significant that Obisesan was invited in 2011 to present his findings at the International Conference on Alzheimer's disease in before more than 10,000 medical professionals gathered in Vienna, Austria.
And the rest of the medical community?
"Everybody is on the edge of their seats to find out what will be the results," he said.
Obisesan can be reached at 202- 865-7895.

I have always been fascinated with the game of chess, and played it extensively in my youth. The game has a particular affinity to those of us from New Orleans because America's most famous chess master, Paul Morphy, was a native, born and raised in my home-town before the Civil War.
Chess reflects the pecking order and eternal conquests of real medieval life, from the pawns through the rooks, knights, and bishops, to the king and queen themselves. Originating in India in A.D. 600, it's one of the oldest games still played in modern times.
At our firm, we study each year's TCP 100 carefully, as it is the great chess game of a consolidating ready mixed concrete and construction materials industry. For the biggest players, while they may be hiding behind the notion of constantly growing their sales and profitability to enhance shareholder value, it really is about conquests, or growing the footprint of ownership and volume, which drives their motivations.
The key theme in this year's list, which reflects 2005 revenue, is continued growth and consolidation. Just look at these striking numbers:
Even more striking is how things have changed in just four years. Here is an even more dramatic comparison, reviewing the 2003 list, reflecting 2002 revenue:
What will the 2007 TCP 100 bring? I believe we'll see more re-shuffling of the deck. A series of acquisitions by U.S. Concrete this year will catapult it upward, with more than 9 million cubic yards of production. The producer is closing in on $1 billion in revenues from a standing start in 1999.
More interesting is the sudden increase in Latin American-based companies that are following in Cemex's footsteps, marching into the U.S. construction industry. Compañía de Cementos Argos S.A. has made a series of stunning recent acquisitions, growing from a quiet cement importer to a major, multi-million-yard ready mixed concrete producer with the acquisitions of Southern Star in Texas and Ready Mixed Concrete in North Carolina.
Grupo Cementos de Chihuaha S.A de C.V. has jumped into the Top 25 with its growing presence in the U.S. Southwest and West. Brazil's Votorantim has been pursuing its own conquests throughout Florida the last couple of years.
Like the medieval game of chess, the conquests will continue, and the TCP 100 list will always be worth studying as the big players grow even bigger, and new international players continue to enter the United States.

National Aboriginal Day
National Aboriginal Day (French: Journée nationale des Autochtones) is a day recognizing and celebrating the cultures and contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples of Canada. The day was first celebrated in 1996, after it was proclaimed that year by then Governor General of Canada Roméo LeBlanc, to be celebrated on June 21 annually. Most provincial jurisdictions, however, do not recognise it as a statutory holiday.

(CBS News)-- Asperger's syndrome will be dropped from the latest edition of the psychiatrist's "bible," the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5.
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) announced on Saturday the changes to its flagship manual that doctors use to diagnose patients with mental disorders. It's the first major rewriter to the DSM in nearly 20 years.
The familiar "Asperger's," along with some similar disorders, will be lumped together under autism spectrum disorder, "to help more accurately and consistently diagnose children with autism," the APA said in a statement.
Other changes include entries for new disorders such as "hoarding disorder" or "disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD)," the latter characterized by abnormally bad and frequent temper tantrums. "Dyslexia" and other learning disorders that some feared would be removed from the manual, remained.
"We developed DSM-5 by utilizing the best experts in the field and extensive reviews of the scientific literature and original research, and we have produced a manual that best represents the current science and will be useful to clinicians and the patients they serve," APA president Dr. Dilip Jeste, said in a written statement.
Full details of all the revisions will come in May 2013 when the APA's new manual is published, but the impact will be huge, affecting millions of children and adults worldwide. The manual also is important for the insurance industry in deciding what treatment to pay for, and it helps schools decide how to allot special education.
It "shapes who will receive what treatment," said Dr. Mark Olfson, a Columbia University psychiatry professor who was not involved in the revision process. More important, he said, "Even seemingly subtle changes to the criteria can have substantial effects on patterns of care."
The aim is not to expand the number of people diagnosed with mental illness, but to ensure that affected children and adults are more accurately diagnosed so they can get the most appropriate treatment, said Dr. David Kupfer, who chaired the task force in charge of revising the manual, and is a psychiatry professor at the University of Pittsburgh.
One of the most hotly argued topics ahead of the revisions was how to define the various ranges of autism. Some advocates opposed the idea of dropping the specific diagnosis for Asperger's. People with that disorder often have high intelligence and vast knowledge on narrow subjects but lack social skills.
Some who have the condition embrace their quirkiness and vow to continue to use the label. And some Asperger's families opposed any change, fearing their kids would lose a diagnosis and no longer be eligible for special services.

Newton County school superintendent, J. O Amis, confirmed Wednesday that a criminal matter allegedly involving a teacher has been turned over to law enforcement.
A source told Newscenter 11 that a teacher was involved with buying illegal drugs and stealing medications from a nurse's office.
Amis said district policy prevents him from discussing personnel issues. However, he said the teacher facing the allegations is not in the classroom at this time.
Newton County Sheriff Jackie Knight declined comment, saying the matter is still under investigation.

Wooden Storage Shed Options
Few outdoor storage alternatives have the classic style of the traditional wooden storage sheds. If you've been using the same old storage shed for ten or twenty years, or if you don't have a shed at all, you'll probably want to look at the wooden storage sheds available for sale through Sam's Club.
So why choose a wooden storage shed as opposed to a shed made from some other material? Well, a dependable cedar shed is not only much more eco-friendly than a plastic or steel model, it brings a natural look to your yard that can't be duplicated. Cedar is easily renewable, looks great in your yard, and many people appreciate the smell of cedar as well. You have many options to choose from when it comes to cedar sheds, from smaller models for those with only a few items to store, to larger walk in garden sheds, and even a penthouse style shed.
At Sam's Club prices, you can probably afford just about whatever kind of wooden shed you want, so take the time to look at all your outdoor storage options through Sam's Club and find the perfect shed today.

Hi everyone
I've been following the progress of Zimbra for a couple of years now I think and I'm very impressed with the speed of progress.
We currently run Microsoft SBS 2003 with Exchange Server and have 13 people on PCs (2 of these work out of an office in the US using Outlook's RPC over HTTPS functionality) and 4 on Mac OSX (PowerPC) in our design studio.
The reasons I am looking to move to Zimbra are:
- Improved mail access for the guys on Macs. At the moment they connect to Exchange using IMAP with Thunderbird and although that works well, public folder access doesn't work and it's generally not as good as using Outlook live on the server. The AJAX client works well enough in Safari and Firefox for me to consider having the mac guys use that all the time.
The basic Outlook Web Access interface is poor compared to Zimbra's AJAX!!
- At the moment I am not the admin of our Exchange server, we have a local company run/service the server. This local company are very reluctant and secretive about letting us change settings ourselves, and when things go wrong, we need them to fix it. With Zimbra, we would do all the setting up and learning how to admin it from the start, so we have the skills in-house.
- It's open source which to me means... more efficient code, more secure, cheaper ownership/running costs, compliance with open and industry standards, more regular updates.
- Zimlets look very interesting... looks like we could do some very cool stuff combining our corporate database and google maps with Zimlets!
I was looking through the product edition comparison chart, and I have a few questions about Zimbra and its features...
1) Zimbra Mobile
Is this compatible with any smartphone which runs WM5/WM6 and has ActiveSync and Pocket Outlook?
Our US-based guys have Treo smartphones so I'd like for them to have the same user experience they currently have with Exchange and ActiveSync
2) Public/shared e-mail folders
In our current system we have an extensive set of public folders (one folder per client) for archiving e-mail so everyone has access to them and it doesn't bloat their mailboxes.
Is there a way to have public e-mail folder structures with Zimbra?
Shared Contacts, Calendar folders as well?
How about having e-mail addresses deliver mail into public folders?
With Exchange I constantly wish the public folders were more flexible.
3) Outlook/MAPI Sync
How does this work?
Our remote users currently all connect using the RPC over HTTPS feature in Exchange/Outlook with the Outlook cached-mode.
Is this a similar function?
When connecting using this method, do users have full access to contacts, public folders, mailbox folders, calendar etc like when they connect using the AJAX client?
4) Price difference between Network Standard and Network Professional?
Is there a price difference?
We'd be looking at the Network Professional version purely for access to the Outlook/MAPI Sync feature... provided it does what we're looking for.
5) Mailbox size limits?
What are the mailbox size thresholds with Zimbra?
At the moment a few of our users have large mailboxes of around 3GB because of the amount of hi-res images etc they have to send around.
6) Using Zimbra as an SMTP server
We have one exchange account that we use to send out e-mail newsletters. We've developed some intranet scripts in PHP which do the physical sending using the SwiftMailer PHP library and they send by logging on to our Exchange server and sending through that.
Is this possible with Zimbra? Or would we need to use an alternative SMTP server for this?
7) Testing on OSX vs Linux
We have a spare G5 PowerPC mac here and I am relatively inexperienced with administering Linux so I was thinking that for testing, it might be a good option to use that G5.
Are all the features present on the OSX version that are in the Linux versions of Network Edition?
The version of OSX is Tiger, not a server version. Will that still be ok?
Or should I just go for it with testing it on Ubuntu server or another Linux? (I've heard Ubuntu is regarded as one of the most user-friendly Linux distros).
In the coming months I will be switching our intranet Apache / PHP / MySQL server over to Linux as well.
Any answers / comments / suggestions on these would be very appreciated!
I really hope I get some positives out of this... I really want to start putting some serious testing into Zimbra!
