We can argue who the best player of all time is (Barry Sanders is the best college player that I've ever watched), but I'm curious to who everyones favorite player is?
For me, it's the player that I always wanted to be as a kid, when I was playing backyard football with my friends... he's arguably the most explosive player in the history of the collegiate game and was an all-purpose dynamo.

Culture | Year-in-Review
Culture | Multiculturalist foundations challenged by jihad, Lord of the Rings, Osbournes, and a possible war with Iraq.
"Culture | Year-in-Review" Continued...
One year after the national trauma of 9/11 and one year into the war against terrorism, has "everything changed" in the culture? Well, no. And yes. American culture tried to get back to normal, but it hasn't really been able to. The culture makers in the entertainment industry, academia, and the media have tried to go back to the tried and untrue, but their efforts often seem disconnected from the new national mood.
The objective realities of war, hate, and sudden death could no longer be dismissed as mere "constructions" of the mind or the culture. The overriding values of personal peace and affluence were shaken by insecurity in the face of terrorism and by the punctured balloon of the stock market.
2002 was a year of cultural disconnect. The same-old ways of thinking no longer worked, but people had trouble thinking in any other way. In the words of a poet, the old is dead, but the new is powerless to be born. And yet, from a Christian point of view, this may be a sign of cultural progress.
Multiculturalism and the jihad
It was a bad year for multiculturalists, relativists, and people who insist that all religions are equally valid. And yet, they remained true to their assumptions and did not let the facts get in their way.
The current war on terrorism may be the only conflict in American history in which it is considered insensitive and politically incorrect to criticize the ideology of our enemies. No one said that National Socialism was really a tolerant ideology and that the Germans were essentially peaceful people. But today Americans have become so used to the imperative of multiculturalism that it is the critics of Islam who get in trouble.
When Christian leaders like Franklin Graham criticize Islam, not only does he face fatwas-death sentences-passed against him in Muslim courts, he is denounced with secular fatwas by his own countrymen. When Ann Coulter said that the best response to the terrorist attacks was to invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity, she lost her job as a regular columnist with National Review Online. That's National Review, the conservative journal of record! It was not so much her invade-and-kill suggestions that raised such a hue and cry but rather her belief that Muslims stand in need of the gospel. And yet, just a few months after her near universal vilification, her book Slander!-a funny and well-documented critique of liberal mean-spiritedness-shot up the bestseller lists, becoming one of the year's biggest-selling titles.
The mainstream culture does not know what to do with its Christian heritage. This was the year the Ten Commandments were removed not just from courthouses but from courthouse lawns. It was the year the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance was ruled unconstitutional. And yet, this logical next step in the long march toward a purely secularist state was met with an uproar from the masses of Americans, evidence that the academic legal theories had gone too far for what the true American culture-consisting of actual people-would accept.
A major cultural initiative against Christianity was the argument that since all religions are actually the same, the problem with terrorists is that they insist that they have the only true beliefs. Conservative Christians, therefore, are just as dangerous as conservative Muslims.
This libel, repeated endlessly with variations in the media and the cultural elite, ignores the specific content of the different religious beliefs and points to a level of theological illiteracy that is dangerous in a world where, despite the secularists' best efforts, religious issues just refuse to go away. If conservative Muslims are essentially the same as conservative Christians in their strict morality and opposition to modern values, why are Muslim terrorists specifically targeting churches, Christian schools, and Christian hospitals, assassinating missionaries and in their riots looking for Christians to kill?
In 2002, Australia has had its 9/11 with the attacks in Bali, Russia has had its 9/11 with the Moscow theater attack, and Israel has had its 9/11 practically every day. If the attacks continue through the next year, perhaps Americans will finally wake up to the fact that not all religions are equally valid after all.
We want epics
It was also a confusing year for the entertainment industry. According to Wall Street Journal reporter John Lippman, Hollywood insiders did not really expect the film version of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings to be a success. Its $310 million budget, for all three movies, would be hard to make back. "Hollywood insiders joked that the movies would become the most expensive made-for-cable miniseries ever on TNT, the AOL-owned cable channel where, the joke went, the sequels would be dumped if the first one failed."
And yet, the first installment, The Fellowship of the Ring, from AOL Time Warner's New Line studio, turned out to have been one of the few successes enjoyed by the multimedia conglomerate. This first movie has earned $860 million from ticket sales alone. This does not count sales of either the first DVD or the DVD with the extra 30 minutes that were cut from the theatrical release (a half hour that does much to flesh out both the characters and the storyline). The one movie has covered the costs of the whole project three times over. And the rest-there are two more movies!-will be pure gravy.
The next installment, The Two Towers, released on Dec. 18, continues the saga of moral heroism, battles against evil, and wonder-filled fantasy grounded in its author's Christian worldview.
The Lord of the Rings movies have clearly resonated with today's cultural mood in ways that the Hollywood establishment is just beginning to understand. A number of the same-old, same-old sex comedies and angst-ridden dramas were spectacular failures, while relatively wholesome, Christian-friendly fare-such as Spider-Man and Signs-were huge hits.
There seems to be a hunger in the culture for epics. Filmmakers are currently working on projects that, with the new special effects technology, promise to rival those of Cecil B. DeMille. Upcoming films will feature the Trojan war, the exploits of Alexander the Great, the invasion of Hannibal, and the last stand at Thermopylae. These are not only accounts of heroism in the face of war, but they depict the titanic clash of cultures. As such, these may prove particularly relevant to our new cultural situation.
Going to the classics of ancient Greece and Rome for subject matter is significant, not just because of the unaccountably ignored treasury of great material, but because it reflects the time-honored tendency in Western civilization in times of crisis and need for cultural renewal to go back to its sources. Maybe in the process this could include going back to the Bible. Mel Gibson is working on a new film version of the life of Jesus, in Latin and Aramaic.
Pop goes the economy
If movies are showing some signs of responding to a new cultural mood-and are having a good year financially-other legs of the pop culture are struggling.
Television embraced "family" values. But the problem was, the families were the Osbournes and the Sopranos. Ironically, while these hit shows exploited the celebrity of the heavy-metal rock star and the sex, violence, and lawlessness of the mafiosi, the specific nature of their appeal, arguably, was that they really were about families.
The drug-addled Ozzy Osbourne turns out to have problems with his own rebellious teenagers. Tony Soprano may whack his enemies, but his issues with his own wife and kids are not so easily dealt with. The family relationships in both shows become strangely absorbing. The appeal of the Osbournes was not merely voyeurism-an attempt at imitation based on single-girl gold-digger Anna Nicole Smith was a failure-but rather a twisted recognition in the culture of the centrality of family. Even the successful reality shows-such as The Bachelor-while being unspeakably vulgar and tasteless often pointed to the true fantasy that has not died out in American culture, despite all of the efforts to kill it: getting married and living happily ever after.
Faced with the competition of cable and satellite technology, broadcast television suffered greatly from the slumping economy. Like the Democrats who resolved to deal with their failure in the midterm election by going even further to the left, broadcast TV decided to deal with their reduced audience by going even further in depicting sex, violence, and bad language-as if those "solutions" were not what caused them to alienate their audiences in the first place.
Another technological blow to the television industry was TiVo, and other programmable DVD recording systems. These enable viewers to record all of the shows they want to watch-not just single programs as with old-style VCRs but the whole week of TV-watching-so that they can be viewed at their leisure. The ability to watch programs commercial free has panicked advertisers, but the best use of this technology has been to allow families once and for all to control exactly what shows their kids are watching.
The music industry too has been in a slump. Again, the industry is blaming technology. Though the industry has killed Napster, as in fighting the Hydra-cut off one head and two more appear-music-sharing over the Internet persists. But could the real problem be with their product? Is there anything more to be done that has not already been done in the genres of rock 'n' roll, rap, and their derivatives? Can't they come up with a fresh sound?
O Brother, Where Art Thou? was one of the bestselling albums of the year, and the "Down from the Mountain" spinoff concert tour was one of the hottest tickets, and yet the bluegrass, traditional country, and alternative country that make up the "Americana" playlists still can seldom be found on commercial radio. But Americana has become the No. 1 format for Internet radio.
The liberals strike back, weakly
In the meantime, the cultural mavens kept trying to foist their tired solutions on a culture that has outgrown them.
In the academic world, a brave effort has been underway to dust off the old peace symbols of the Vietnam era. Old-style demonstrations against war with Iraq have been orchestrated, to substantial coverage from the media. The rhetoric against American neo-colonialism and oppression against the Third World can be heard again on college campuses.
But the reality is, 60 percent of college students support President Bush in his war against terrorism and his efforts against Iraq. That is just about the same as his level of support among the general public.
The left is trying to reconstitute itself and is congratulating itself on its purity. And yet, leftists are in the uncomfortable position of having to demonstrate in support of a culture and an ideology that enslaves women, that kills homosexuals, that rejects tolerance, that forbids freedom.
Marxists always predicted that capitalism would collapse due to its inner contradictions. This may be what is happening today to the leftists. 2002 was a year of cultural transition. But as postmodernism falls apart, it is not yet clear what will take its place. It may be that Christianity will get branded as a terrorist religion, like that of the radical Muslims, in which case things will go from bad to worse, as secularism is either intensified or is sanctified into a new Interfaith religion. Or the culture may recover at least some of its heritage. At any rate, we are approaching a cultural moment that may be ripe for Christian influence.

Memorial Day Open presented by Bud's Spring Service
Newmanstown, Pa. - September 18 - The final night of racing at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway produced some heart-pounding drama, as the 2010 point champions were determined and five drivers head into the winter months with the momentum generated by winning the curtain-closing main events.
Two of the newly crowned champions came from behind on the final night to clinch their titles, while another created some anxious moments by having to qualify through the consolation, then held on to a slim point lead to secure his championship.
Bruce Ginther, Jr. waited until the last race before claiming his first 600cc triumph of the 2010 season in Saturday's finale. Joining Ginther in victory lane celebrations were Nick Skias (270cc), Shane Braxton (125cc), Chip Geib (250cc Four-Stroke), and Ken Miller (Sportsman).
Ginther outgunned polesitter Zach Fisher as the green waved to begin the 600cc main event. The previous week's winner, Tyler Ross, was the big mover in the early stages of the 25-lapper, blasting from his 12th starting spot to run third by the fifth trip around the lightning fast oval.
Ross then set his sights on Ginther, but the chauffeur of the Shred Racing, Christian Lawyer Solutions No. 28 was ready for the challenge. After a couple of mid-race restarts, Ross executed slide jobs on the leader in turns three and four, but Ginther crossed over and shot back in front as they charged down the frontstretch.
"I really expected the No. 5T to blow by me when I saw his number on the scoreboard," said Ginther afterward. "I was surprised when he didn't smoke me on those restarts. I hope he finds a Sprint Car ride for next year; I really don't want to race against him because he's so good. In fact, I may try to find a Sprint Car ride for him," joked the victor.
Ginther, who hails from Lebanon but will soon relocate to Reinholds, Pa., was able to pull away during the final laps, zipping to the checkered flag almost a full second ahead of Ross. Mark Ludwig, Jeff Halligan (who started 14th), and Mike Rutherford completed the first five at the conclusion of the race.
Chris Gerhart survived a spin in his heat race and another during the feature to secure his first 600cc point title. Qualifying through the consolation, Gerhart managed to climb from the rear of the pack to finish tenth. His closest competitors for the championship, Ryan Wilson and Ken Miller, both had problems during the feature. Wilson crashed after he was forced into the outside guardrail, while Miller was collected in a couple of skirmishes before finally finishing 17th.
With two laps complete in the 270cc feature, a scary incident occurred on the backstretch. With cars bunched two and three-wide in the middle of the field, Mike Rutherford was pinched into the outside guardrail, then violently barrel-rolled several times. Three others also flipped in the incident - Jason Swavely, Josh Stoyer, and Jay Batdorf. All four drivers were uninjured, although Rutherford was understandably shaken and a little wobbly after the hard crash.
When green flag racing resumed, Kerry Lengle continued to set the pace, but all eyes were on the high flying No. 88 driven by Nick Skias. The Wernersville resident started eighth, but quickly roared into the fourth position as lap three was scored.
Skias passed Zack Fouse for third on the fourth revolution, then snatched the runner-up slot from Christi Sweigart on lap seven. After a restart with ten circuits complete, Lengle and Skias put on a side-by-side duel for the lead, racing wheel-to-wheel for three laps before Skias finally nosed ahead as the crossed flags were displayed to the field.
Skias romped to victory, his second of the season but first since Memorial Day weekend at the Clyde. Lengle held off the winner's father, Pete Skias, for second, with Richie Hartman and Jesse Maurer completing the top five.
The top three cars sported Viper Chassis, and all three utilized Skias-built motors on their Micro-Sprints.
Heading into the 270cc finale, Richie Hartman had already clinched his third consecutive point championship. With his fifth-place finish on Saturday, Maurer locked up second spot in the standings.
He may have ended up second in the 270cc title chase, but Jesse Maurer was not to be denied in his quest for a 125cc championship. When Saturday's final event began, the Mount Joy Outlaw was a scant four points behind David Ravel. By the time the 25-lap feature went green, Maurer was four points in front of Ravel by virtue of winning his heat race, combined with a fifth place finish by Ravel in qualifying action.
Three attempts were needed to get the 125cc headliner underway, and Ravel was involved in one of those opening tangles.
Ryan Wilson squeezed ahead of Derek Ecenrode to snare the top spot on lap two. Sophomore sensation Bradley Brown was incredibly fast all night long, winning his heat race, then zooming into second early in the feature after a three-wide confrontation with Ecenrode and Shane Braxton.
Braxton returned the favor, passing Brown on a lap seven restart to secure the runner-up position. As they raced through three and four to complete the tenth trip around the high banked clay oval, Braxton pulled a slider on Wilson to grab the lead. From that point on, the race belonged to Braxton, and the focus shifted to the battle for the championship.
Maurer got by Wilson, his teammate, for third just prior to the halfway mark. With the 25-lapper heading into its waning laps, Maurer wrestled second away from Brown. With Braxton on cruise control at the head of the pack, Maurer never got close enough to challenge for the victory. Braxton waltzed home with his third triumph of 2010, but Maurer won the war by finishing second, thereby clinching his third point crown in the 125cc class.
Brown, Wilson, and Bret Habecker finished third, fourth, and fifth in the year's last feature for the 125cc Micros. Ravel rebounded from the early altercation to finish sixth, losing the title fight to Maurer by just 23 points.
When the race teams pulled into the pit area for Saturday's last event, Chip Geib trailed Peter Michael by a mere ten points in the 250cc Four-Stroke point chase. And veteran Craig DeSantis, who won the feature on September 11, was lurking in third, only 17 tallies behind Michael.
After Saturday's heat races, Geib closed to within four points of the leader, while DeSantis narrowed his deficit to eleven. At the start of the Four-Stroke feature, Geib rocketed from ninth to third in the first two circuits.
Matthew Swift led from the drop of the green, but Geib was on a mission. The Manheim native blew by George Potts, Jr. for second on a lap three restart, then, on the next tour, slipped past Swift to take command.
DeSantis charged into second at the halfway point, but Geib was simply too strong on this night. Despite numerous caution periods, Geib easily held on to the top spot, flying to his eighth victory of the season. DeSantis finished second, with Jessica Mohler edging her sister, Kim Enck, for third as they crossed the stripe.
The win, coupled with Michael's fifth-place finish, propelled Geib to the 250cc Four-Stroke championship, his fourth title in the past nine years. It is also Chip's first championship after a two-year hiatus from the driver's seat, although his engines have now claimed five consecutive point crowns in the Four-Stroke division.
When Ken Miller won his heat race in Saturday's qualifying action for the Sportsman Micro-Sprints, he locked up his second track title in that class (and his second in the past three years). But he wasn't satisfied with just clinching the championship in Saturday's finale...
Miller cruised to his seventh triumph of the season, and second straight, in the 25-lap nightcap for the Sportsman Micros. It wasn't an easy victory by any means, as his teammate, Jason Swavely, methodically worked his way forward, stealing the runner-up position from David Kemp at the halfway point of the race. Three yellows in the final ten laps provided ample opportunities for Swavely to assault his teammate, and it almost paid off on the last trip around the eighth-mile of clay.
Swavely tried a bonzai dive in turns three and four, momentarily pulling under the leader, but Miller used his momentum off the banking to remain in front as they dashed to the checkered flag.
Miller, from Birdsboro, flashed to the win by .18 seconds over Swavely, who finished the year with eight wins in Sportsman competition. The duo, driving for Curt Miller (Ken's uncle), also finished one-two in the point standings.
Joel Tolley wound up third on Saturday, with Wesley Fasnacht and Jamie Fetterolf rounding out the top five.
With the racing season now concluded at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway, attention turns to the club's annual awards banquet, which is scheduled for Saturday, November 20, at the Lancaster Host. Banquet tickets are priced at $35.00, and order forms are available on the track's website at www.lancomicrosprint.com.
The 2010 champions, along with the top 15 in points in each of the five weekly classes, will be recognized at the banquet. Many special awards will be handed out as well, such as Rookies of the Year, Most Improved Drivers, Best Appearing Cars, Sportsman of the Year, and the Hard Luck Awards.
On November 20, doors will open at 5 p.m. Dinner will be served at 6:00, and the awards ceremony will follow.
The Lanco club wishes to thank all of the race teams, officials, volunteers, and fans who made the 2010 season so successful and enjoyable.
Opening night of 2011 is slated for April 16. Be there to once again LIVE the excitement that is Lanco!

A season that began with high expectations ends Friday night for Cameron at Dragons Stadium.
The Dragons will play host to Bridgeport in what will be the final game for 11 seniors.
''We want the seniors to win,'' Cameron coach Jim Rogers said. ''Senior Night at Cameron is a tradition. We are going to practice as hard as we can.
''We've seen the game film (on Bridgeport) and we have a game plan.''
In what is the 100th season of playing football at Cameron, there was much optimism around the program that this would be the year the Dragons would return to the playoffs since 2003.
That didn't happen as tough losses to Clay-Battelle and St. John the previous two weeks sealed their fate.
At 4-5, Rogers and his squad are looking to finish with a .500 record.
''I don't know how to explain it,'' Rogers said. ''(Against St. John) we went back and forth, fumbled four times, had stupid penalties. Two interceptions really killed us.
''We really played some good ball in the first half against a tough schedule. Against Clay-Battelle, we thought we played our best game but we dropped two touchdowns and had two called back.
''We are trying to get to .500 and we know we have to work our butts off to get there. Bridgeport is a big, physical team.''
Like Cameron, Bridgeport will be playing in its final game this season. The Bulldogs are 2-7, having lost seven straight. Coach Rudy Vavrock's club was beaten 49-13 by undefeated Shadyside last week.
Bridgeport doesn't have many seniors to say goodbye to - Colin Cooper, Dallas Fields, and Michael Jaworski are the only ones - but the Bulldogs want to send them out winners.
''The last game is always one where you want to get a win,'' Vavrock said. ''Those three kids have helped build a pretty good program through the years. We also want to get a win to hopefully carry this into next season.
''We know it won't easy. Cameron has a big tall quarterback (Logan Routt), some good running backs and they play good defense. Their tackles and guards are pretty good size and they are probably bigger than us. We obviously have to stop the running game and be able to defend the lines.''
Fields leads the Bulldogs in rushing with 856 yards and seven touchdowns.
Dillon Blake, Hunter Chambers, Seth Earnhart, Ivan Hall, Jordan Hart, Levi Knight, Austin Martin, Austin Pyles, Justin Richards, Devin Starcher, and Mark Walker will wearing the blue Cameron jerseys for the final time.
Walker is the team's leading receiver, catching 39 passes for 636 yards and three touchdowns this season. Starcher is the Dragons' second-leading rusher, running for 500 yards (55.5 per game) and seven scores.
Blake has 6.5 sacks to lead the defense, while Chambers has four. Hall has five interceptions, one less than Walker.
''Bridgeport is big up front and our guards and tackles must play well,'' Rogers said. ''The Fields kid is the real deal. He plays safety but he moves everywhere.
''It's going to depend on how we start. The game is 48 minutes and two halves so we have to see how it plays out.''

Syracuse QB just keeps getting better
NEW YORK - Ryan Nassib doesn't have the same kind of passing numbers as Geno Smith. Nor does his name carry the same weight in the context of any national discussions about the country's best quarterbacks.
Know, though, that Nassib is no slouch. He will be drafted by an NFL team. He's finishing his third season as a starter. He directed the nation's No. 21 offense this season and finished 13th in individual total offense.
Oh, and a year ago when Syracuse walloped West Virginia 49-23 at the carrier Dome, Nassib threw for four touchdowns and ran for a fifth.
Don't think for a moment, though, that Nassib views Saturday's Pinstripe Bowl between West Virginia and Syracuse as a head-to-head battle of quarterbacks.
"Geno's a great football player. There's no doubt about that,'' Nassib said. "He has the potential to take over games. But I can't worry about that.
"At the end of the day you can only worry about what you can control. And what I can control is what our offense does and how I play.''
So far, Nassib has played really well. This season he's thrown for 3,619 yards, 24 touchdowns and just nine interceptions.
OK, so that's not quite up to the standards of Smith, who threw for 4,004 yards, 40 touchdowns and just six picks.
Remember, though, this is a guy who will be playing for the fourth time against West Virginia and the first two times the Mountaineers were happy to see him. As a redshirt freshman in 2009 he completed 7 of 16 passes for 120 yards against the Mountaineers. A year later he was 5 of 15 for 63 yards. Yes, the Orange won that 2010 game, but it wasn't because of Nassib.
Sometimes slow and steady wins the race, though, and by the time he was a junior Nassib was going 24 of 32 for 229 yards and four touchdowns in a rout of West Virginia. This year he began the season with a 45-of-66, 482-yard, four-touchdown game against Northwestern. He passed for 356 yards against Rutgers and 385 yards in a late-season win on the road at Missouri.
Nassib has just gotten a little bit better every game and every year, it seems. And, really, that was the plan all along.
"That's kind of the way I've been my whole life. Everything I've done I just wanted to make sure I was always getting better,'' Nassib said, "I ask myself that every day: Did I get better? Did the decisions I made make me a better football player and a better man?''
More often than not the answer is yes. He's taken offseasons seriously, and practices just as seriously as games.
"And it's not just me. The guys I've been with here over the years have done the same thing,'' Nassib said. "If you work hard and the guys around you work hard and want to get better it usually happens.''
Every once in a while, though, wouldn't it be nice to play not in Syracuse's balanced offense but in a throw-it-around-the-lot scheme like Smith does?
"It's the system and the offense,'' Nassib said. "I'm a quarterback. Sure, I wish I could throw the ball every play. But I also understand that in our system there's a balance that's needed. It may be different in different offenses, but in ours we've always tried to maintain a good balance.''
Truth be told, Syracuse has opened up its offense this season. Nassib is playing in a faster attack with better receivers and more chances to throw the football. He averaged 37 passes per game, not far off Smith's 41. He owns every single-season and career passing record in Syracuse history, save for career touchdown passes.
"Ryan's done a great job of just getting better every year, especially this year when we changed the offense and put a lot of it in his hands,'' Syracuse offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett said.
It has put Nassib on the radar of NFL general managers, one of whom will select the 6-foot-3, 227-pounder. First, though, he has that non-showdown with Smith and West Virginia's high-powered offense.
"We've been in high-scoring games and as long as offense stays consistent and tries to play as mistake-free as possible we can score points,'' Nassib said.

Conversation is food for the soul.
– Mexican Proverb
The great secret of succeeding in conversation is to admire little, to hear much;
always to distrust our own reason, and sometimes that of our friends;
never to pretend to wit, but to make that of others appear as much as possibly we can;
to hearken to what is said and to answer to the purpose.
– Benjamin Franklin, 1706-1790
The first ingredient in conversation is truth, the next good sense,
the third good humor, and the fourth wit.
– Sir William Temple, 1628-1699
The true spirit of conversation consists in building on another's observation, not overturning it.
– Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton, 1803 – 1873
The great gift of conversation lies less in displaying it ourselves than in drawing it out of others.
– Jean de la Bruyere, 1803 – 1873
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
– Menander, 342 – 292 BCE
Conversation. What is it? A Mystery!
It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest,
of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all.
– Guy de Maupassant, 1850 – 1893
The most fruitful and natural exercise for our minds is, in my opinion, conversation.
– Michel de Montaigne, The Essays: A Selection, 1533 – 1592
A single conversation with a wise person is worth a month's study of books.
– Chinese Proverb
Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee and just as hard to sleep after.
– Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea
In my opinion, the most fruitful and natural play of the mind is in conversation.
I find it sweeter than any other action in life; and if I were forced to choose,
I think I would rather lose my sight than my hearing and voice.
– Michel de Montaigne
The very act of preparing and serving tea encourages conversation.
The little spaces in time created by teatime rituals call out to be filled with conversation.
Even the tea itself–warm and comforting-inspires a feeling of relaxation and trust that fosters shared confidences.
Emilie Barnes, If Teacups Could Talk
The highest good is prayer and conversation with God.
– St. John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, 347–407

As global government spending on Health and Human Services rises, interest in program integrity has also increased.
A recent news article out of North Carolina shows some real progress. That state is addressing inappropriate charges to its Medicaid program. Medicaid pays for the health care of millions of lower income and special needs Americans. According to the article, the State Attorney General won 22 criminal convictions and 18 civil settlements against various healthcare providers in the last fiscal year. These resulted in a recovery of $49 million.
In addition, North Carolina drove a 99% reduction in payments to one set of outpatient behavioral health providers. 37 providers were placed under prepayment review due to unusual billing patterns. These patterns, spotted with IBM software, indicated that the providers were abusing the Medicaid system. Claims to the State had been $19.2 million in six months prior to the additional reviews. After six months in prepayment review, billings from these 37 providers had fallen to $138,000 -- a $19 million reduction.
In total -- the article mentions nearly $70M of recoveries and avoided payments. This has been a stunning achievement for the State and a wakeup call for those looking to cheat taxpayers. Leadership, effective program execution, and analytics were critical to success.
Over the next several months, I'll be writing a bit more about Program Integrity in Health and Human Services. Send me a note or give me a call if there's a topic you'd like me to address, or if you have a question about how IBM's solutions can help address these issues.

The REDD solution
One of the areas under the UNFCCC where there has been progress in the last couple of years is REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation), whereby developed countries pay developing countries to conserve and restore their forests.
Adapting to change
Sustainably managing, conserving and restoring ecosystems so that they continue to provide the services that allow people to adapt to climate change is known as Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA). This approach builds on traditional knowledge, generates a range of social, economic and cultural benefits and helps to conserve biodiversity.

AAPA Meets in Canada
September 12, 2010
Atlantic Canada's largest city and the modern, bustling cargo facilities at the Port of Halifax will be the backdrop for the American Association of Port Authorities' (AAPA) 99th Annual Convention and Exhibition, Sept. 19-23, in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
"We're excited to return to Halifax, which last hosted our annual convention in 1993," said Kurt Nagle, AAPA's president and CEO. "During our business program, convention speakers will address a number of issues that are key to Western Hemisphere ports, including trade trends and the international economic outlook, improving the supply chain, and investing in infrastructure as a means to economic growth. Presenters and panelists will also share some of the seaport industry's most innovative environmental and sustainable development initiatives."
Of special note, convention attendees will have the opportunity to hear perspectives about the critical role of freight gateways and corridors from CN (Canadian National Railway) Executive Vice President J.J. Ruest, who will give the keynote address, and from Canada's former Minister of Industry, Minister of International Trade and Minister of Foreign Affairs, David L. Emerson, who will receive AAPA's prestigious Canadian Port Person of the Year Award. The award is presented in recognition of an individual or individuals whose outstanding work or service has made a significant contribution to public port authorities and/or maritime commerce.
In the convention's busy exhibition hall, amid scores of port industry product and service providers showcasing various aspects of their equipment, technology and consultant offerings, AAPA will feature its new Twitter page, @AAPA_Seaports, offer materials from its "Seaports Deliver Prosperity" initiative, and provide event-goers other opportunities to connect with and learn about their industry partners.
The convention will conclude with a members-only annual meeting and installation of new officers for the Association's upcoming fiscal year, including appointment of Port Freeport (Tex.) Executive Port Director Armand "Pete" Reixach as chairman of the board for 2010-2011.
Additional information about AAPA's 99th Annual Convention and Exhibition, including its business program agenda, exhibitors and sponsors, is available at http://www.aapa2010.com/.

1946 Ford Roadster Pickup - You're BarredWritten by on April 1, 2011 Fabricating A Custom Nerf Bar
My 1946 Ford roadster pickup sits pretty low, but the large gap under the tailgate has always bugged me. So, I decided to fabricate a nerf bar for the rear, incorporating the taillights. I fitted trailer lights as a temporary measure on the eve of the Rod & Custom road trip to Bonneville in 2008, and of course they're still on there, but look awful. I've kept them, but now they're somewhat disguised.
So, armed with a hydraulic tubing bender and a notcher, both supplied by The Eastwood Company, I secured all the materials I figured I'd need for a paltry $15, and set to work. Eastwood states that its bender can produce up to 60-degree bends in steel and chromoly tubing in 1 1/2-, 1 5/8-, and 1 3/4-inch diameter, and up to 90-degree bends in 3/4- and 1-inch tubing, and though I didn't need to produce bends over 45 degrees I couldn't get it to produce more than 60-degree bends in 1-inch tubing. The bottle jack that operates the die required a couple more inches of travel before the die moved. Referring to the instructions, the jack rod could be extended to provide more travel; 90-degree bends were then attainable, though this only applies to smaller-diameter tubing.
In operation, the bender was simple to use and performed effortlessly. It didn't take long before I was ready to break out the welder. In fact, I spent more time measuring and cutting than I did bending.
While the ends of the nerf bar feature the tubing simply cut at an angle and butt-welded, the joint between the lower tube and the mounts required a notch in the end of the latter to fit snugly around the tube before welding. I've done this in the past (and even built rollcages in the same manner) by careful use of a cutting disc in a grinder, and a file, but a decent tubing notcher saves much time Eastwood's tubing notcher makes use of easily sourced hole saws and a regular electric hand drill, meaning perfectly notched tubing is within everyone's reach. Just take it slow with the drill; hole saws don't take kindly to high speeds.
A project like this should easily be completed in a day, and can make a big difference to the appearance of any car, for very little outlay. Until you get the bill for chrome-plating that is ...
Light Options
I'll readily admit the trailer lights on the truck were a temporary measure the night before leaving for Bonneville in 2008, and of course they're still there, but hidden behind the nerf bar they're not that bad. Plus, I like the fact that they're so bright compared to vintage lights. However, I had considered a couple of other options when planning the project. Originally I'd planned to curve the ends of the nerf bar around the corner of the pickup bed, and thought it'd be neat to use the lights I took off my other project, the "Purple Pig" '49 Chevy, as this'd provide reflectors too. I think this would have looked rather neat with the lights turned on their side. Teardrops were another brief option, if for no reason other than I already had a new pair, and their shape is very close to the curve of the ends of the nerf bar, but they're somewhat over-used in my opinion. Likewise, the '59 Caddy lights, which also would have had the disadvantage of being the rearmost part of the truck, and most likely would constantly be getting broken.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
With setup taking a matter of minutes, we were ready to begin bending. The tube was fed in between the die and follower as shown. Note, we used thin wall seamed tubing, so ensured the seam was on the inside of the die (on the top of the tube shown here), meaning it'll be on the inside of the finished bend, and hence only be minimally stretched. The seam can split otherwise, but this type of tubing was perfectly acceptable for our non-structural nerf bar.The first task was to set up the bender for 1-inch tubing, meaning we had to swap out the die for one of the correct size. Attached with two Allen bolts, they're easy to change, though the recess the bolt sits in actually formed raised dimples on our tubing once bent.The final step before the bender is ready is to fit the correct size U-shaped tubing support on the rear of the die. Again, fitment is as easy as pulling the shaft, though the die has to be moved for this shaft to clear the body of the bender.Looking from the rear, you can see how the U-support will hold the tubing in place as the die moves in an arc to form the bend. While the bender has no measurements or protractor on it, it wouldn't be hard to add one, as the latter is especially useful if you need to duplicate bends of a precise angle.Though designed to be bolted to a bench or stand, we clamped the bender down temporarily as we were only making six bends in lightweight tubing. A bottle jack provides the hydraulic force to push down on the die, which pivots to bend the tubing.With the rings to hand, which I intended to use to mount the taillights behind, I could determine the distance between the upper and lower horizontal tubes of the nerf bar. The rings are 3 1/2 inches ID and 4 1/2 inches OD, making the tubes 4 1/2 inches apart. Once I'd made the first bend and could determine where the outer end of the nerf bar would be, I measured to the start of the bend (where the steel rule is). Knowing the width of my pickup bed and the length of each bend to the point at the ends of the nerf bar, I could determine the length of the straight section between the bends, and hence mark where the second bend should start. Got that? The instructions provide thorough details on how to measure where to start the bends.
Here's one of the dimples mentioned in picture 2. Whether they appeared because we used relatively thin wall tubing, or whether they're a common occurrence, I don't know. Not disastrous maybe, but not desirable on a piece that is being fabricated for appearance.While at our local industrial metal supply house to source the tubing ($8 for two 8-foot lengths of 1-inch ID steel from the remnant section!), I took the opportunity to check out their selection of ornamental gate and fence accessories, and came away with everything you see here for just over $6. That makes the grand total for the whole project come in at under $15!I then made a duplicate tube, laid a ring between them at each end, and used a straight edge to mark where each tube would have to be cut to form the points.With the sections clamped to a metal bench, I TIG-welded the ends. Note the spacer to raise the ring to the center of the tubing. I MIG-welded the rings from behind, as well as welding shut the joint where the rings are rolled but not welded.To mount the nerf bar to the truck I bent up another couple of bends, and with a couple of the brackets shown earlier welded to them, they bolt to the old rear pickup bed mounts, which aren't used on my truck. These are slotted, so allow plenty of adjustment. With the fabrication complete, I welded everything up and filed the ends of the nerf bar to shape.When welding two tubes together, it's preferable, and essential if it's something like a rollcage, to have as tight a joint as possible, which means shaping the end of the tubing to be welded. Sure this can be done with a grinder and a file, but this Tubing Notcher from Eastwood makes the job so much simpler, and uses easily sourced hole cutters in a drill. It's also especially useful if the tube is to be welded at an angle other than 90 degrees, as you'll appreciate if you've ever tried to do this by hand!Here's the finished joint between the nerf bar and the section of tubing that serves as its mount, ready to be welded.A trial fitment finally showed what it looked like on the truck. I opted to add the second pair of rings to semi-hide the mounts, plus I'll run the tailpipes through them at a later date. However, I had planned to form a frame around the license plate, but hadn't realized quite how large the bend radius was. Instead I modified the lower bar to drop down under the license plate, rather than mount the plate to the outside of the nerf bar.
A couple of lengths of 1/2x1/4-inch steel bar were bent with nothing more glamorous than a vice and hammer, then drilled and tapped to mount the license plate.With the nerf bar removed, I formed a dropped centersection and welded it into the center of the lower tube. These S-bends can't be formed in the bender so I made a U-bend with a 12-inch straight section at the bottom, cut the bends in half, flipped one side over, and welded them back together.

(Sports Network) - The Denver Nuggets have been scoring in bunches this month,
averaging 107.7 ppg through 13 games in January. They hope the barrage
continues Monday versus the Indiana Pacers at the Pepsi Center.
The Nuggets are fourth in the NBA with 103.6 ppg this season and exploded for
a 121-93 demolition of the Sacramento Kings Saturday in the opener of a six-
game homestand. Ty Lawson scored 26 points and handed out six assists, while
Andre Iguodala added 20 points and handed out seven assists for Denver,
winners in three straight and nine of 11 games.
Denver stormed out to a 39-25 lead after the first 12 minutes and outscored
the Kings in the first three periods, improving to 17-3 as the host.
"We tried to get out to a good start and play fast," Iguodala said.
Danilo Gallinari chipped in 14 points, while Kenneth Faried totaled 11 points
and nine rebounds for the Nuggets, who shot 61 percent from the field through
the first three quarters. Denver connected on a season-high 13 3-pointers and
led by as many as 35 points. It had 30 or more assists (34) for the sixth time
this season and is unbeaten in those games.
The Nuggets are unbeaten in their last 35 games when handing out at least 30
assists and 18-3 when allowing fewer than 100 points.
Denver will also entertain Houston, New Orleans, Milwaukee and Chicago on the
current homestand.
Indiana is playing the finale of a four-game road trip and has lost two in a
row since opening the trek with a victory at Memphis last Monday.
The Pacers then dropped decisions to Portland and Utah, and most recently
suffered a 114-110 overtime loss to the Jazz Saturday night. Jazz forward Paul
Millsap appeared to have thrown an inbounds pass off the backboard late in the
game and caught the rebound before he was fouled, sinking both free throws.
The officials reviewed the play and said Millsap's pass was in bounds.
"The referees made a call we have to live with. My interpretation is if the
ball goes out of bounds they can review who it was off of," said Pacers coach
Frank Vogel. "The question there was did it go out of bounds, did it hit the
back of the backboard triggering it out of bounds? They did not call it that
way so it's not reviewable. That's my understanding."
David West led Indiana with 24 points, Paul George added 23 and George Hill
finished with 22 for the Pacers, who dropped back-to-back games for the first
time since losing two in a row from Dec. 7-9. Roy Hibbert chipped in 14 points
and 12 rebounds in defeat.
Indiana, which is second in the NBA with 89.9 points allowed, owns a 10-15
record away from home and will return to the Hoosier State for four straight
games later this week.
The Pacers last loss three straight from Nov. 5-9 this season and were handed
a 92-89 home loss by the Nuggets back on Dec. 7. Denver has won three in a row
and 14 of the last 20 meetings with Indiana, losers in three straight and six
of seven trips to the Rocky Mountains.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The Ravens travel to Miami eager to take the field. Last week against the Bills, Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco threw a career high five interceptions.
First Quarter
There's been a lot of talk this week about the Ravens lack of a run game. But it's become clear who the most important weapon is on offense: Torrey Smith. The wide receiver hauled in a short pass and tool it 41-yards down the sideline. It led to a Baltimore field goal. The Ravens are off to their hottest start this season.
After some back and forth punting, running back Ray Rice coughed the football up in his own territory. The Dolphins turned the fumble into a field goal, tying the score at three apiece.
Second Quarter
The Ravens find themselves in a defensive slugfest so far in Miami. Luckily they have a borderline Leo Noel kicker in Justin Tucker, who booted a 50-yarder to give the Ravens a 6-3 lead.
The Ravens secondary has been a little sketchy so far in 2013 and proved that once again against the Dolphins. Ryan Tannehill connected with Mike Wallace for a 49-yard gain. The Baltimore defense would stall the drive though, forcing another Miami field goal. 6-6 is the score.
It's time to give Tannehill some credit. The second-year pro is outplaying Flacco so far. Miami marched 60-yards in seven plays, capped off by a gorgeous Tannehill touchdown to Charles Clay. Miami enters the locker room at halftime with a 13-6 lead.
Third Quarter
The Ravens used a pass interference call to extend their opening drive all the way to the end zone. Ray Rice punched the ball in to tie the score at 13.
Fourth Quarter
The Ravens have officially taken control of the game. Two drives have led produced rhythm like we haven't seen from Baltimore the entire season. Flacco has spread the ball around well and Ray Rice has added another touchdown. Barring a meltdown, the Ravens should turn this 23-16 lead into a solid road victory.
I totally jinxed the Ravens. A third down pass from Joe Flacco sailed errant and Dolphins cornerback Rashad Jones picked off the pass, taking it all the way back for a touchdown. The Dolphins have tied the game at 23.
Miami's ensuing kickoff went out of bounds, setting up Baltimore on the 40-yard line. Some smash-mouth football brought the Ravens within range for Justin Tucker, who nailed a 44-yarder.
In a last desperation chance, the Dolphins almost pulled off some unbelievable magic. Tannehill completed a 4th down pass to Brandon Gibson for 46-yards. A last second 57-yard field goal attempt was missed by Miami's kicker Caleb Sturgis.
The Ravens can credit their defense for the 26-23 win. Six sacks of Tannehill clearly dictated the game.

I don't even know what I was running for - I guess I just felt like it.

It was that kind of a crazy afternoon, terrifically cold, and no sun out or anything, and you felt like you were disappearing every time you crossed a road.

People always think something's all true. People never notice anything.

I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It's awful. If I'm on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody asks me where I'm going, I'm liable to say I'm going to the opera. It's terrible.

It's really too bad that so much crumby stuff is a lot of fun sometimes.
Goddam money. It always ends up making you blue as hell.
"Take most people, they're crazy about cars. They worry if they get a little scratch on them, and they're always talking about how many miles they get to a gallon, and if they get a brand-new car already they start thinking about trading it in for one that's even newer. I don't even like old cars. I mean they don't even interest me. I'd rather have a goddam horse. A horse is at least human, for God's sake."
It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to.
"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be."

We were given an other more conveniently situated apartment than we had booked.
PROS: Friendly staff. Simple but clean and well-equipped apartment. Excellent heating. Nice neigbourhood with tube-station, supermarket, shops, pub, cafés and restaurants all within walking- distance.
CONS: Apartment (no 24) rather small. Thin walls, so a bit noisy. (No problem, unless you have neighbours who like to watch TV at 2am. Showerhead should be cleaned or replaced. Chalk blocks the holes. Produces a single jet instead of a spray.
Very nice area, quiet but not far from the city center. Room well equipped and very clean. Towels and Soap provided! Efficient communication, very hospitable and uncomplicated!
It is a clean and tidy apartment which looks exactly as displayed in the pictures.
Big flat, great location, it was very nice.
I stayed in this property for the second time . I was really delighted by the quality of the place and friendly staff .
Many thanks again
A very nice stay - and not to far from the underground. Daniel was nice enough to bring us the key to the apartment. We had misunderstood the pick up.
Thank you!
Das Zimmer war einfach aber sauber eingerichtet. Die Küche war ausreichend ausgestattet. Einen Fön kann man kostenlos ausleihen. Die Betten waren sehr bequem, die Dusche hatte einen guten Druck und war heiß. Unser Zimmer lag im EG. Durch eine Terrassentür konnte man einen Innenhof betreten. Dieser müsste allerdings dringend mal gereinigt werden, damit man bei schönem Wetter auch draussen sitzen kann. In der Wohnung gab es einige kleine Mängel, die mich allerdings nicht daran hindern, einen Aufenthalt in der Wohnung zu empfehlen (z.B. müsste der Duschkopf mal entkalkt werden). Das große Plus der Ferienwohnung ist die Lage. Man befindet sich in einem normalen Wohngebiet und merkt nichts von all den Touristen, die sich in London aufhalten. In der Nähe der Wohnung gibt es einen Supermarkt, Restaurants und einen süßen Buchladen a la Notting Hill. Die Anbindung mit der U-Bahn in die Innenstadt ist super, in 15 Minuten ist man am Leicester Square und in etwas mehr als einer Stunde ist man am Flughafen Heathrow.
We had a great stay, the neighborhood is really nice, laid-back and very well connected thanks to the Northern Line.. there are a few nice restaurants, including a great bakery, "Gail's", where we had breakfast every day. We were allowed to leave the room later than the check out time, so thanks for that!
Definitely again.
Los muebles de alta calidad dejan mucho que desear. El colchón muy blando e imposible para dos personas. Nos cambiaron a otro apartamento en el que tenia un somier de laminas de madera y fue un poco mejor.
Dispone de wifi, pero su acceso es mediante pago. Nos regalaron dos dias de wifi al ir a pedir el password.
Really nice property and great staff ! thank you Daniel

1968 Road Runner Rollcage Fabrication - Tubular DesignWritten by Chuck Vranas on March 1, 2011 Contributors: Chuck Vranas How To Build A Killer Rollcage In Your Garage.
When working in your home garage, many times the parameters of your mission forces you to sub out a job that deep inside, you know you could do if you could only afford the right tools. More often than not, that road is paved with broken glass, making the ability for you to get it done on a budget almost impossible. On a recent visit to Xtreme Restorations in Slatersville, Rhode Island, we came across a '68 Road Runner being updated into a fire-breathing dual-purpose street/strip racer. We were just in time to follow the design and installation of its rollcage using affordable tools that would be well within the limits of most homebuilders. Team member Richard Desautels told us that if you want to go fast, you'd better have adequate safety to back it up. With a 1,000hp Keith Black injected Hemi bolted in, this is one serious car and the 'cage had better be all business. Adding a stout rollcage will not only bring additional strength to the chassis, but also plenty of safety in case it's ever needed. High-performance driving is serious stuff and the team at Xtreme infuses plenty of race-proven performance engineering into all of their fabrication.
Getting started, it's important to have the exact dash, steering column, seating, and safety belts on hand as they will all work into the final equation regarding the design of the 'cage. Once the interior of the car was gutted, Richard wasted no time in obtaining his baseline measurements for the main hoop. Allowing for 2.5 inches off the roof and sides, he first obtained an overall measurement of the hoop. He then followed by using an angle finder to determine the inboard contour of the B-pillar and then the roofline. To create a template to draw from, electrical conduit is light, cheap, and easy to work with to get the basic shape of your 'cage and, in the interest of saving money, it's also important to measure twice and cut once, he told us. Once test-fitted, it was time for Rudy Desautels to get started using the affordable JD Squared Model 3 tubing bender and M3B Round Tube Die Set for up to 1.75-inch tubing. Following along with the incorporated degree pointer system and conduit template, producing top-quality wrinkle-free bends proved to be a breeze. For all points to be matched to the main hoop, the JD Squared tube notcher is another low-cost tool with massive capabilities, allowing even a newcomer to dial-in cuts like a pro. Richard spent time studying each completed 'cage section as it was mocked in place advising us that the 'cage should be well balanced from all angles when you step back and look at it. As the work progressed, the seats and safety belts were also set in place to allow for exact measurements to accommodate their individual proportions. To wrap it all up, you'll need to prep and paint the rollcage and surrounding areas to protect them from corrosion. The completed installation not only looks clean and well designed, it will add strength to the chassis. But most importantly, it will add safety to this ride.
Tools You'll Need
The JD Squared Model 3 bender retails for an affordable $395 and is currently available (as of this writing) for $295 direct from the manufacturer. It features rugged all-steel construction, CNC-machined parts, all links constructed from half-inch thick steel, and a multitude of available die sets. Plus, it's capable of bending both mild steel and 4130 chrome-moly tubing from .5 to 2 inches, or .5- to 1.5-inch square tubing. The standard degree pointer and 36-inch telescoping handle gives you plenty of added bang for the buck.

To avoid damage from grinding or welding sparks, the team at Xtreme Restorations removed the complete interior from the car. Here, Richard Desautels measures for the main hoop of the rollcage, paying close attention to the inboard contour of the B-pillar, which he will later measure with an angle finder.After measuring the main hoop, lightweight electrical conduit was used to create a working template. Here, an 11-foot section was effortlessly bent using a simple conduit bender and an angle finder to set the contour of the B-pillar. If adjustments are needed, rebending the conduit is easy and inexpensive.The conduit is measured from the outside diameter for the final tube dimension. Here the main hoop is test-fit in place atop 1/8-inch steel anchoring plates, which will later be welded into place to support the main hoop.Using a JD Squared Model 3 tubing bender and appropriate die set, the first section of 1.75-inch .118-wall seamless mild steel tubing is installed in place and measured for the first bend. It's a good idea to allow an inch to each side of the hoop for final trimming.With the tubing installed and secured in place, a fender stand was used to support the long length of the pipe section waiting to be formed. The degree pointer was then set to zero to allow close monitoring of the pipe during the pull process.Team member Rudy Desautels dug his heels in to begin the pull process. His first pull set the angle for the B-pillar. The 36-inch telescoping pull arm is easily adjusted to provide plenty of leverage as you proceed.Using the conduit template, once the first pull was completed at 20 degrees, it was easy to mirror the bend to check for accuracy. It's a good idea to use lightweight machine oil on the tubing for ease in bending.The high-ratio ratchet mechanism of the Model 3 bender allows you to select the leverage points you need while proceeding with your bends. Here the bender is halfway through a 70-degree pull for the top section of the main hoop.
This image lets you see the well-designed degree pointer system in action. The three pull pins allow easy manipulation of the die for switching parts and leverage adjustment while the side bolt secures the tubing in place.The initial test-fit of the main hoop proved that it was right on the money after a minor trim to the bottom edges for final height adjustment atop the 1/8-inch mild-steel floor bracing plates. Be sure the hoop is equal and well balanced from left to right, especially when seen through the outside windows. Note that as a unibody car, the Road Runner's attachment points are on the body, since there is no frame. A full-framed car such as a Chevelle requires that the rollbar's attachment points be made to the frame.After bending and welding the 1/8-inch floor bracing plates in place with his Hobart Beta-MIG 200, Richard tacked in the main hoop. No final welding will be done until the remaining mounting points are completed.The rear drop tubes were measured at 65 inches from the top of the main hoop, through the package tray with a 35-degree bend required. Conduit was used again as a template to follow the bends.To properly fit the drop tubes, side tubes, and cross tube to the main hoop, Richard used a JD Squared TN-100 tubing notcher. After coating the tubing section with machine oil, a 1/2-inch hand drill and bimetal hole saw (available at most hardware stores) completed the notch in seconds. Follow with an electric grinder topped with a 40-grit disc to clean up the cuts.With the driver seat in place, the swivel-away side bars were designed (with the same process) to allow easy access to the interior using a weld-in kit from Competition Engineering.This shot of the trunk lets you see just how strong the combination is between the drop tubes and 1/8-inch steel mounting plates. Note that at each mounting point, there is also additional steel plate reinforcement underneath the car to support the entire rollcage.The completed 'cage looks wicked and its brute strength will offer the driver plenty of protection while also keeping the car legal when it gets to the racetrack.
The JD Squared TN-100 Tube Notcher was a bargain at $215 with its tube capacity of 3/4-inch to 2-inch diameter, and an adjustable angle of up to 50 degrees. Featuring a ground and polished stainless steel shaft and rigid bearing block, it works effortlessly with a 1/2-inch hand drill and a hole saw once it's anchored to a bench vise or shop floor.For easy entry and exit from the interior, Competition Engineering's weld-in swing-out door bar kit (PN C3182) came with everything needed to complete the installation to one door bar. The kit meets NHRA sanctioning rules for OEM full-bodied cars with a 7.50 e.t. or slower, and retails for $41.95 from Summit Racing.
