The 12th Goodguys PPG Nationals - Turn It & Burn It!Written by Johnny Hunkins on October 22, 2009 Contributors: Robert McGaffin The Car Show Concourse Meets The Autocross Road Course At The 12th Goodguys PPG Nationals In Columbus, Ohio.
Once upon a time, a gearhead had to make a tough choice when he got to a certain fork in the road with his hot rod: Do I build it for show and spend my weekends polishing paint, or do I go to the track and wring it out? Perhaps you're at a stage in your involvement with the hobby where that question no longer seems valid, and the losing side of that equation has long since been stashed away in the proverbial attic with other ancient regrets. The fundamental choice of "show" or "go" is one we face early on in our hot rodding life, but the Goodguys folks say, "Why not do both?"
Many years ago, the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association realized their attendees were increasingly interested in muscle cars. That makes a lot of sense, considering the changing demographic of the average show entrant. While street rods are still a prime force, muscle cars now make up a significant part of the Goodguys event roster. And something else became clear too: Muscle car owners not only drive their cars, they like to beat on them too.
Nevertheless, until recently, hard-core muscle car lovers could only dream about beating on their hot rods in a show type of environment. The best they could hope for was a top showing at Goodguys' Street Machine of the Year competition, held every July at the Ohio State Fairgrounds in Columbus. Two years ago that changed when Goodguys introduced an exciting wrinkle in the program: the Street Challenge Autocross. Prior to that, detractors referred to Pro Touring machines in derogatory terms because they were substantially perceived as street-rodded muscle cars. What happened next surprised everybody. Once the autocross was introduced to most of the Goodguys venues (those of which were large enough to handle them), not only did muscle cars line up to run the circuit in the hundreds, but street rod guys also wanted in on the action.
So that begs the question, when you meet the fork in the road and make that decision to be a car show guy, an autocross wiz, a drag racer, or an open-track freak, do you ever really abandon your other car dreams? For the folks we saw at the Goodguys Street Challenge Autocross, the answer is clearly a resounding "No!"
For their part, Goodguys does a great job surrounding the muscle car enthusiast with every single thing a muscle car lover needs. If they don't have it, you probably don't need it. That especially holds true now with the autocross-tires, suspensions, chassis, brakes, wheels, safety gear, you name it, you can equip a serious track predator with stuff you can find at a Goodguys show. It's not just paint, chrome, upholstery, and sheetmetal, although there is certainly plenty of that too.
In the final analysis, however, a Goodguys show-and the PPG Nationals in particular-is just good family fun. You won't find Jell-O wrestling, wet T-shirt contests, bouncing cars, or windshield-shattering stereos. Of course, when the occasional burnout contest starts spontaneously after hours, the local authorities do a great job looking the other direction, which is an added bonus.
This year, we were impressed with the strength of the muscle car hobby and the fine showing in Columbus. We met a lot of new friends and reconnected with old ones, and that's something that we always look forward to at the PPG Nationals.
Should have Been A Contender!
Unfortunately, there are only five finalist spots for the Street Machine of the Year competition and if it were up to us, we would've chosen Brad Riepe's '68 Plymouth Roadrunner to be in that elite group. We know very little about the 'Runner except that it's got a 599ci Pro Stock Hemi that Riepe claims 1,300 hp on. Handling credentials come via a Viper suspension, Wilwood brakes, a custom four-link Dana 60 rear, and a five-speed trans (most likely a Richmond, given the horsepower).
Manual Trans Racers Unite!
When we spotted this '70 Nova-which belongs to Ed and Angela McConnell of Hilliard, Ohio-we had to take a closer look. The stance was nailed, the look was clean and understated, and the 396ci big-block underhood closed the deal. As we approached, we also took note of the super Spartan interior (no carpet, but really clean), and the five-speed manual trans. Then we saw the UMTR decal on the core support and said "Bingo! That explains everything." The United Manual Transmission Racers (UMTR) association is a regional racing association based mostly in Ohio. They hold heads-up drag racing events strictly for manual transmission cars. It's hard core. It's for real street cars, and it's the way drag racing ought to be. We've always wanted to cover one of their events, but the timing hasn't been right. All we can say is that a UMTR race is one of the most exciting grassroots drag racing events you'll ever see, and they're mostly in Ohio. Congrats to Ed and Angela for trotting out this sweet Nova for us to drool over!

It's packing a 550hp Ford 460 big-block, a Tremec six-speed trans, Heidt's suspension, BFG rubber, Budnik GTX wheels (18s and 20s), and Wilwood brakes.Jesse Greening of Cullman, Alabama, didn't make the cut for the final five in the Street Machine of the Year competition, but he put in a great effort with his '71 Camaro. Jesse used DSE suspension components all around and Baer brakes inside custom wheels of his own design. An LS1 engine and six-speed Tremec make up the powertrain.
James McLeod of Hudson, Florida owns this sleek '69 Mustang fastback, which packs a 5.4L mod motor and six-speed trans. Cornering duties are handled by Heidts' front and rear suspension, SSBC brakes, and BFG rubber. The car was assembled by Time Machines out of Florida.Meet Sheila Defer and Chris Bethel of Hilliard, Ohio. We met them around 11:30 Saturday morning just as it started to sprinkle. They wanted directions to the bar, and we drew a blank. We struck up a conversation, and headed indoors when the rain became torrential. Four hours later, we were like best friends. Later that evening, we all got together for burgers at Thurman Café in Columbus (a big thumbs-up if you're in town). Chris brought out his '66 Mustang fastback 2+2, which he's owned for 18 years. Doing all the work himself, it took Chris 13 years to complete it.Back in June, we gave a shout-out to all our readers that we would be in Columbus for the Goodguys show, and Larry Belcher of DeLand, Florida, took us up on the offer. Riding through the show, Larry called out to us, and pointed to his PHR T-shirt. If the name sounds familiar, it's because Larry is a Laguna nut too. He regularly sends us old Laguna magazines and hard-to-find parts. We posed Larry next to Chuck Church Jr's beautiful '67 Chevy II. Running on methanol, the 421ci small-block has pushed the little Nova to a best of 9.48/140 on motor. Church Boys Racing of Bristolville, Ohio, built this stunning machine. Check out the Church Boys Racing website at www.churchboysracing.com.Bill Jelinek of Route 66 Motorsports (New Lenox, IL) is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. We found him demonstrating his new line of car care products which is sold under the Route 66 Motorsports banner. Here, Bill shows off the capabilities of their new "Pedal To The Metal" metal polish on a piece of billet aluminum (a 16 oz. bottle is just $14.95). This stuff really works! Check it out at www.rt66motorsports.com.This wicked-looking '69 Charger belongs to Street Machine of the Year finalist Tom Boldry of Shawnee, Kansas. Yeah, you bet it's got a Hemi-472 inches worth. Other goodies that help it carve up the track include a Magnum Force K-member, Keisler five-speed, and Wilwood brakes. Tom reckons it's putting out about 600 hp.This interesting '68 Mustang was brought all the way from Sacramento, California by Scott and Laura Taylor. It's got a sideways-opening hood that covers a 490ci Ford "Shotgun" semi Hemi making around 705 hp off the juice. A full Art Morrison chassis and Air Ride suspension allow for unparalleled suspension tuning. A 4-inch "channel" job takes the look to the next level. Incredibly, the Taylor's Mustang didn't make the final five cut either.Our keen interest in Chevelles extended to the car corral area, where one guy was offering up this '68 SS clone for a whopping $32,000. With a rather ordinary big-block and a pretty straightforward restoration, it might be worth $22,000 on a good day. There were no takers, but at least the seller copped to it being a clone.Every year, the Goodguys PPG Nationals is the scene of the grand giveaway. We have run several stories on the Air Ride Technologies SuperNova over the past year, so it should be no stranger to you. Yes, they really do give these things away, and this year Allen Naylor of Athens, Alabama, won it in a special key drawing of semifinalists from prior Goodguys events. Allen is the owner of Naylor Performance Transmissions in Athens, and he vows to show it, drive it, and have fun with his new SuperNova.Detroit Speed & Engineering is leading the pack when it comes to practicing what they preach. Take their complete suspension packages for GM A-bodies for example. For every system they design and bring to market, they build a proof-of-concept project car which becomes the test bed for that system. All the parts you see on their display rotisserie are installed on their '65 Malibu project car, which we'll be featuring in an upcoming issue.

Ocean cargo concerns
The Container Forecaster (formerly the Drewry Container Market Quarterly) aims to provide liner shipping participants, investors and observers with a comprehensive analysis and forecast of both global demand and supply.
July 07, 2010 - LM Editorial
While shippers may be heartened to hear that fewer ocean cargo vessels are being scrapped, and newbuildings are ramping up, some analysts are beginning to doubt if demand will sustain growth.
The good news released recently by Alphaliner about more carrier activity has been countered by Drewry Shipping Consultants' latest Container Forecaster, which posits the idea that a "peak season" may fail to materialize.
"By no means do we see a precipitous fall, but there will be an impact," said Neil Dekker, editor of the quarterly Container Forecaster. "The danger of a weaker recovery has been concealed by the fact that ocean carriers believe they have entered a real recovery phase."
Furthermore, warns Dekker, there is every possibility that utilization factors will decline, "which in turn will have a knock-on effect on freight rates."

Birth Place: China
Born on May 1, 1946 in Canton, Guangdong, China, Woo was raised in Hong Kong when his father, a scholar and school teacher, decided that living under Communist rule was no longer tolerable. But his father was stricken with tuberculosis and unable to provide for the family, leaving Woo's mother to work construction and other manual labor jobs. As a result, Woo grew up poor, living in tiny shacks in the Shek Kip Mei slums. He was lucky, however, to have the support of his church and an American family, who paid for his schooling fees throughout his academic career. After losing his father to his long battle with tuberculosis, Woo set his sights on becoming a film director following a brief fli... Continue Bio >>

UPDATE: Nuclear Decommissioning Authority say there was no public threat from Silverdale train collision
Updated 5:42pm Wednesday 15th January 2014 in
OFFICIALS at the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority have said there was no threat to public safety after a train from Sellafield collided with a car near Silverdale last night.
Communications manager Matt Legg said the wagon, travelling to Berkeley, Gloucestershire, was empty.
He added: "There was no nuclear material in the wagon, which ordinarily carries spent fuel in a container, within a flask.
"The flasks also have a number of internal barriers – they are highly robust and subject to extremely high levels of safety standards and testing, so even if it had been carrying material, there would have been no danger to the public."
The car was dragged 300 metres down the track after being hit by the freight train at around 7.10pm.
Fortunately the male driver of the car, 46, got out of the vehicle before it was struck.
The driver of the empty freight train was unhurt, but being treated for shock.

In April 2010, IBM conducted an online survey of over 6400 adults working full- or part-time in office buildings in 16 major US cities. The survey showed that "US office buildings have failed to keep pace with the revolution in automation that pervades modern life. While cars, transportation systems, electrical grids and other systems are being instrumented and interconnected to be more efficient and user friendly, the majority of office buildings remain rooted in the past. As a result, this intelligence gap is taking a measurable toll in lost productivity and unnecessary spending."
So, how do you bridge this intelligence gap...or, in other words, how do you make buildings smarter?
It starts with a better way of managing those buildings: IBM Maximo Asset Management.
Maximo delivers holistic, end-to-end tracking and monitoring of all assets, at every point in their lifecycles. It helps make building facilities management simpler, faster and less expensive—thus essentially transforming buildings into smart buildings, capable of delivering their full potential to your organization. Specifically, Maximo can:
- Establish contracts for labor and materials across the entire enterprise, allowing for better cost control.
- Detect a shortfall in a cooling asset and automatically notify appropriate team members of the problem and create a prioritized schedule of corrective action.
- Provide vendors direct access to Maximo, allowing them to view assigned work, request direct updates and provide real-time status. Notifications are generated by Maximo and are automatically distributed via e-mail to any device.
- Manage vendor SLAs to monitor their overall performance. Should a vendor not be meeting specified service levels, Maximo can quantify the difference and initiate a suitable response.
Of course, there are many more examples of how Maximo can help you manage your facilities more efficiently and cost effectively, all of which enable a shift from facilities maintenance to facilities management, from a reactive stance to proactive stance, resulting in improved asset performance, longer asset life and ultimately more sustainable - and, dare I say - smarter buildings.
For more information on how Maximo can make your buildings smarter, read this Service Management in Action article.
Signing off for this week,
Your friendly roving Integrated Service Management reporter

Intensive English Program
External Programs
Academic Support Program
International Teaching Assistant Program
For the non-native speaker of English, The University of Alabama English Language Institute (ELI), a division of Capstone International, offers two types of year-round English-language programs: the Intensive English Program is designed for individuals who are seeking intensive English study, while External Programs are designed for groups who desire highly specialized curricula. In addition, the ELI has two programs for matriculated students at The University of Alabama: the International Teaching Assistant Program, which trains and evaluates international graduate teaching assistants, and the Academic Support Program, which provides opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students who may want or need additional English-language instruction.
The ELI Intensive English Program (IEP) is designed for individuals who need to learn English as a second language. The focus of the program is on preparing students for academic success, both in terms of English-language proficiency and cultural awareness, for both undergraduate and graduate study at The University of Alabama.
Six levels of study, from beginning to advanced, are available. Each level consists of 20 hours of core classes per week; additional optional classes are also available for students who wish to take them. Each level of study lasts approximately eight weeks and is available six times per year with sessions beginning in August, October, January, March, May, and June. Students may begin their English study at the beginning of any one of these sessions.
An ELI student wishing to enter an undergraduate degree program at The University of Alabama may meet UA's English proficiency requirements either by obtaining the required TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score or by completing Levels 4, 5, and 6 with a GPA of 3.0. Undergraduates who meet certain conditions (minimum TOEFL score and GPA) become eligible to enroll in one or two undergraduate courses while completing their ELI program of study. Students pursuing graduate study must either complete Levels 4, 5, and 6 with a GPA of 3.5 or obtain the minimum TOEFL score. In certain cases, the Graduate School, the ELI, and the student's academic department may together grant permission for a student who has completed Level 4 or higher with a minimum GPA of 3.5 to enroll in one graduate course per semester while completing the ELI program of study. The specific course must be approved by the instructor and department prior to enrollment.
Students who apply for admission to UA and meet the academic and financial qualifications to enter the University but do not have adequate TOEFL scores available may be given the Institutional version of the TOEFL examination upon arrival. Students who do not obtain the required minimum score on the institutionally administered version of the TOEFL will not be eligible to begin an academic program and will be required to register for full-time study in the ELI until they meet the TOEFL requirement or satisfactorily complete the ELI program as outlined above.
Intensive English Program Courses
Structure: Levels One to Six. ELI structure courses provide students with the basic grammatical structures they will need to communicate effectively in English in four language skill areas: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Each structure course emphasizes communication-both comprehension (listening and reading) and production (speaking and writing). Structure courses meet five hours per week.
Speaking/Listening: Levels One to Six. ELI courses in spoken English provide students with the opportunity to improve their listening and speaking skills and to gain confidence in using English to communicate orally. Students practice appropriate conversation management skills, receive instruction on problem areas of pronunciation, and learn useful vocabulary. These activities are carried on through a variety of classroom exercises that focus on the everyday situations students are likely to encounter while adjusting to life in the United States. Speaking/Listening courses meet five hours per week.
Reading/Writing: Levels One to Six. The ELI reading/writing curriculum is designed to provide students with skills needed to comprehend written discourse at the college level as well as produce written English in a variety of forms. Reading skills include understanding the main idea of a passage, understanding an author's purpose, distinguishing fact from opinion, reading quickly, using the resources of a collegiate dictionary, and discussing written discourse in a relatively sophisticated manner. Writing exercises are designed to stimulate self-expression and personal involvement in writing. With attention to each step of the writing process-thinking, writing, and rewriting-teachers guide students toward communicating their ideas with increasing clarity and depth. Reading/Writing courses meet ten hours per week.
Oral Communication. Oral Communication (OC) is designed to help students improve their skills and proficiency in both speaking and understanding oral English. The focus of the class is on "real world English" rather than academic English. Students' oral proficiency in English will improve as a result of a variety of classroom tasks and activities. In addition, instructional activities will occasionally take place outside of the classroom in order to take advantage of opportunities in community settings. Oral Communication is divided into two separate eight-week sessions-OC I and OC II-each of which meets for ten hours per week.
Optional Classes. The ELI offers several choices of optional courses. Some examples of optional courses are TOEFL Preparation, Pronunciation, American Culture, Business English, English Through Current Events, English Through Music, and Web Page Design. Optional classes typically meet two or three hours per week.
Conversation Partner Program. Through the Conversation Partner Program, ELI students meet regularly with American students to converse in English in relaxed surroundings. The Conversation Partner Program Is a comfortable way for ELI students to form friendships with American students and to practice their English.
Culture and Language Exchange Program. The Culture and Language Exchange Program matches ELI students with UA students who are studying the ELI student's native language. Once matched, these pairs or groups of students then meet as often as they like for conversation practice in both English and in the particular foreign language.
ELI External Programs consist of a variety of programs designed for groups of participants with mutual goals and concerns who desire highly specialized, intensive curricula. Such programs are typically designed for international English teachers, students whose international universities have approved given curricula for credit, international graduate students preparing to enter universities throughout the U.S., and business professionals who wish to improve their overall effectiveness in English or to concentrate on specific skills such as written communication.
An organization wishing to participate in such a program should clearly define the goals of its group and keep in mind that program enrollments require a minimum of 10 participants. Financial sponsorship for the above programs may come from ministries of education, embassies, corporations, private philanthropic organizations, U.S. or other government sponsoring agencies, or the individual participants themselves. Programs may be offered at any time of the year and typically range in length from two to six weeks.
A second type of external program is the corporate short-term program for individuals from a single corporation who participate in a curriculum composed partially of courses in the ELI Intensive English Program and partially of specialized courses designed specifically for the participants. These programs usually can be offered as needed throughout the year.
A third type of external program may be offered on-site at the corporation or university. As with all external programs, dates can be customized and curricula can be specially designed for the particular group.
External Program Curricula
International University Undergraduate Program. This program typically offers one or two levels of instruction for the group and consists of four hours of instruction per day, live days per week. Courses offered can include Spoken English, Pronunciation, Reading/Vocabulary, Writing, Structure, Computer Skills, American Culture, and English through Music or Film.
English Teacher Training Program. This program is designed for nonnative speakers who are teachers of English. The curriculum typically consists of courses in conversational management, debate, listening and speaking, pronunciation, and public speaking, as well as a teaching workshop and series of methodology lectures. This curriculum can be adjusted to meet the needs of a particular group of English teachers. The aims of the program are to further refine the teachers own usage and to address and evaluate current theories of methodology in light of the country's unique challenges in teaching English. These courses meet four to six hours daily.
Embassy-Sponsored Graduate Student Program. Typically offered during the summer, is designed for international graduate students who will be attending universities throughout the United Stales in the fall. Including independent study, these courses meet for four hours per day. The core classes include Written Communication: Reading, Writing, and Skills for Academic Success; Oral Communication: Listening Comprehension and Clear Speech; Oral Communication: Conversation Management and American Culture; Enhancing Computer Skills; and Independent Study.
Corporate Locale Study. Curricula and times are individually tailored to the corporations' requests. These may be held on-site nationally and/or internationally.
Corporate Campus Study. Typically, this is a two-week program consisting of a combination of courses taken within the Intensive English Program along with specialized courses designed for the particular group.
The ELI Academic Support Program provides opportunities for UA undergraduate and graduate students who may want or need additional English-language instruction. At the undergraduate level, newly admitted international students, after taking the UA English Proficiency and Placement Exam (EPPE) prior to beginning their first semester at UA, may be asked to take one or two ELI courses in spoken and/or written English on a part-time basis. These students may pursue their academic studies while fulfilling their EPPE requirements. Students must pass the designated ELI Speaking/ Listening or Academic Writing course(s) before enrolling in the University's required English courses for credit. At the graduate level, ESL support courses in written and spoken English are available free of charge to full-time international graduate students each fall and spring semester. In addition, for both undergraduate and graduate students, the UA Language Resource Center is available for individualized language assistance.
The University of Alabama's International Teaching Assistant Program (ITAP) trains and evaluates prospective UA international graduate teaching assistants (GTAs). ITAP is conducted by the English Language Institute twice each year—in the summer during a three-week period prior to the beginning of the fall semester and during the spring semester. Participation in ITAP is required of all non-native speakers of English who serve as GTAs at The University of Alabama. The summer ITAP session meets five hours daily for approximately two weeks; the spring session meets three hours weekly for 15 weeks.

Decisions of the Twenty-fifth Session : . 27/11/2001.
A/56/38,pg.45. (Decision)
Convention Abbreviation: CEDAW
Decisions of the Twenty-fifth Session
Decision 25/I: Proposed exceptional session1
Bearing in mind that, as at 20 July 2001, 168 States had ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, and that 23 States parties had ratified or acceded to the Optional Protocol to the Convention, and taking into account that there are a significant number of reports of States parties awaiting consideration and that the Committee is concerned that the information contained therein will become obsolete, the Committee requests the General Assembly to:
(a) Approve on an exceptional basis, a session of three weeks' duration in August 2002, consisting of 30 meetings of the Committee to be used entirely for the consideration of the reports of the States parties in order to reduce the backlog of reports;
(b) Approve an enlargement of the pre-sessional working group scheduled to meet from 4 to 8 February 2002 in order to prepare issues and questions relating to reports to be considered at the exceptional session of the Committee in August 2002.
Decision 25/II: Pre-sessional working group
Recalling its decision 22/IV, the Committee decided that, in drawing up the list of issues and questions with regard to periodic reports, the pre-sessional working group should normally formulate a short list of issues and questions, focusing on themes addressed by the Convention.
Decision 25/III: Special session of the General Assembly on children
The Committee decided to adopt a statement to be forwarded to the special session of the General Assembly on children (see paras. 379-391 below). It also decided, subject to the availability of resources, to nominate one member to participate in the special session on its behalf.

Exactly how pathetic is Larchmont Jason Bay? 17 million a year, will be back next year, and he can't even get a sniff at a pinch hit for this sorry (last place) group. How many hundreds of times can one man take two fastballs down the middle, then strike out on an outside slider? Willie Randolf tried to explain it all away, Jerry Manual tried to laugh it off, and an ineffectual Collins is growing tiresome.
Does Fred have the nerve any more to appear in public or does he order in every night and sit in front of his rabbit eared TV in an unwashed tee shirt with spaghetti sauce stains all over it?

Out of Stock
Item # MGR000N
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Bike Brakes in stock than that.View Similar Products
Magura USA MT8 Disc Brake $0.00
The MT8 Disc Brake is ethereal in its lightness. In fact, it's Magura's lightest brake ever. However, this doesn't mean that it's light on stopping power. The architecture of the brake lever is based on Magura's proven Marta radial master cylinder design. Only here, it's made of a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic rather than die cast aluminum.
Magura ensures the quality of this process, called CarboTecture, because it does the manufacturing in its own facilities. It developed this new technology in order to create a brake that excels in all four categories of its design focus — weight, heat stability, braking power, and ergonomics. The light overall weight is evidenced by the numbers, but how does the brake feel? We've ridden them, and they compare favorably with the Marta SL (one of our best-selling brakes of all time) in terms of total power and modulation control.
And while the general layout is the same as the Marta, changes abound to make this an entirely better brake. From a bike build standpoint, the banjo fitting on the MT8 caliper is one of the best aspects. This means that you'll be able to route the hose cleanly along frame members no matter what the mount configuration is. It's an aesthetics issue, but also the only gripe we ever had with Marta brakes. The two piston, forged aluminum caliper features a double arch design, similar to Magura's fork crown. This adds stiffness to an otherwise superlight caliper body. The pistons are made of thermoplastic, which helps to insulate the fluid from the heat generated in the brake pads. This improves the brake performance on steep, enduring descents. Changing pads has been made easier than ever since the calipers use a top loading design. This way, you're able to change pads without removing the wheel.
The CarboTecture master cylinder is stiffer, lighter, and stronger than comparable parts made of aluminum or magnesium. In a truly inspired move, Magura created both sides the same. You're now able to run your levers on either side of the bike, and it won't matter because there's a bleed screw on top and bottom. Magura's Easy Bleed Technology (EBT) means that maintenance is simple and mess-free — no more opening the reservoir and sloshing oil all over your bike and the floor. It should be noted that Magura relies on a system that uses mineral oil rather than DOT-approved brake fluid. The simple reason is that it is non-corrosive and non- toxic. The MT8 brakes come with a five-year leakproof warranty, and they're Matchmaker compatible, so you're able to mount your SRAM trigger shifters on the same clamps as your brakes.
Part of the supreme light weight of the MT8 disc brakes is due to the encompassing effort to reduce weight wherever Magura could. In addition to the CarboTecture lever body, Magura uses a carbon fiber lever and handlebar clamp, along with alloy hardware throughout.
The Magura MT8 Disc Brake is composed of a pre-bled lever/hose/caliper assembly. The price is per set, so buy two sets for one bike. The calipers are designed for post-mount applications. Adapters for IS tabs are available and sold separately.
Rotors are sold separately and are available in six-bolt and Centerlock —160, 180, and 203mm. Our actual weight reflects the brakes as sold. For reference, the entire system with a 160mm Storm SL rotor weighs around 296 grams.

rode hard/put away wet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've spent a year on these brakes now and haven't touched them once. Ride one day in the snow, the next day in swampy heat - no lever pump or pad drag. They work better with a 180mm rotor up front to give you a little more power after the initial bite (than a 160) but over all I've been quite pleased with the power of what you'd think is just a XC brake. For me, I want a brake that always works, has consistent lever feel and power, and doesn't need any sort of surprise maintenance.
Can I use my same clean Marta SL rotors...
Can I use my same clean Marta SL rotors circa 2005-2006 with these?
is this a set or just the front or back...
is this a set or just the front or back brake?
Hey John,
The price is per set (a pre-bled lever/hose/caliper assembly), so you would want to buy two sets for one bike.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
what year are this break?
Hey John Hogenmiller,
These are the 2014 model.

Jmac and I were at the mall looking for the perfect Latina to take back to our place. We searched everywhere but no cigar. Right before we decided to call it quits, we found Lilli sitting by herself waiting for her friends. She was extremely defensive but after i dropped the latin lingo, Jmac was able to mount his offense. This dominican mami, a true freak in disguise, went back to our place and requested to get fucked on top of the bar. Jmac made all her fantasies cum true.

Here is a map of the globe of my world I did a while ago - posting it now so that people can have a look.
Although it is 'finished' in the sense I shall do no more on it, it is not very 'finished' in the sense that it looks good and polished. I will post another map I have done below it.
Have a look at my blog for more views - here.
Sorry it is not as good as last time - I am working on a better one.
If anyone has any idea how I could map this next one onto a globe on a 3d computer program for free I would be very grateful for the help!

Custom Classic Trucks - Readers' TrucksWritten by on November 26, 2007
Editor's Note: Getting your truck into Readers' Trucks is a snap, of the camera, that is. All it takes is a stack of good-quality photos of your ride that are in focus and well lit. Due to the volume of mail we receive, we regret that we cannot return photographs. Send photos of your truck (no Polaroids or printouts) to: CCT, Readers' Trucks, 774 S. Placentia Ave., Placentia, CA 92870. It is important that you include a detailed description of the modifications you have made to your truck, including any interesting stories behind it.
What's Up, Doc?
When your day job obliges you to have your arms elbow deep in someone's thinking cap, building a hot rod is a far cry from your typical office duties. Although Randy Jensen, a neurosurgeon from Salt Lake City, Utah, feels right at home in the operating room, building his very first hot rod felt like writing with his opposite hand. However, just because all of this was new to him didn't mean he didn't do one heck of a job on his '55 Ford. For starters, he equipped the truck with a four-link and a Mustang II setup from CPP. Instead of opting for small potatoes, Randy dropped in a 351 Ford Windsor with an Edelbrock manifold and carburetor, a Crane camshaft, and GT 400 heads. Keeping a hot rod feel on the outside is the Viper red paintjob with traditional flames laid down by Osbourne's Custom Cruisers. Even the simple gray interior looks right at home. We wonder what patients think when Randy pulls up to the hospital in the Ford?
Straight To The Point
Jim Stimmel of San Bruno, California, didn't tell us much in his letter, but he did mention that he has been reading the magazine for years and that he loves it, so we're going to go ahead and tally that up as at least one satisfied customer!
As for Jim's '64 Ford Ranchero, we'll tell you what we know. Between the framerails sits a 302 for steady cruising. To spice things up a bit, Jim installed '55 Ford center caps on the 8-inch-wide rims. He also kept things simple with a black paintjob and just a hint of light blue striping. Lastly, the Ranchero was dropped 2 1/2 inches in the front and air shocks were installed out back. Other than that, the only other thing Jim had to say was, "Keep on truckin'."
When one has had their truck as long as 88-year-old Harold Plaster, they're bound to have a few memories. Especially for Harold, seeing that he has had his Model A pickup since clear back to 1938! With the help of friend Jim Loffredo, Harold sent us this little story and a few pictures from his Valdez, Alaska, home about his Model A pickup:
"My truck has scars. They are remnants of a life lived to the fullest, and I treasure them, every one. I am old and so is my truck, but once we were both young, ready to roll without a mark on us or a squeak or rattle. Back then, I worried and fretted about my truck, back in 1938. Oh yeah, I hot-rodded it out with a flathead V-8.
"Every little chip, scratch, or scuff brought a knot to my stomach. I worked so hard on that truck, and at the time I thought it was perfect. I didn't know any better. The day my son played with a toy car on the window, scratching deep lines in it, gave me a flare of anger, and then despair. He was 3 then; now he is grown and gone. I'm alone now, except for my truck, still with the scratches on the window. I love those scratches now. I look at them often; they bring a tear to my eye. How nave a young man can be.
"Some of the paint is missing on the back fenders where hot rubber stuck to it while the tires were roasted. I was 23 then, and me and the boys were burning J-hooks in the hills of Pennsylvania. To accomplish a good J-hook, one had to start on a steep hill, burning rubber as you drifted backward until the hookup made a J pattern of burnt and smoking rubber on the road. Youthful exuberance!
"My hood and grille is dimpled with hundreds of chips, and my windshield is cracked from a rock chip. All this happened when I drove my truck to Alaska in 1968 to work in the oil fields. It was a time of adventure, and the world was open to me. After all, I had my truck and my youth. I thought both would last forever.
"I still drive my truck sometimes. I can't see well at night, so I drive during the day. Sometimes I haul some hay or feed for the horses from the feed store. When I look at the scars on my truck, I remember, and now after all these years I smile."

Gov. Phil Bryant has signed bills codifying a settlement between the Public Service Commission and Mississippi Power Co. over the company's Kemper County power plant.
Bryant told The Associated Press Tuesday he supports both measures. Tuesday was the last day for Bryant to act without the bills becoming law without his signature.
One measure allows a multi-year rate plan for the plant. Another bill allows the unit of Atlanta-based Southern Co. to sell up to $1 billion in bonds to pay Kemper costs over $2.4 billion.
The settlement says Mississippi Power can earn profit on $2.4 billion in plant costs as well as $377 million in lignite mine and pipeline costs.
Customers would repay debt on costs above $2.4 billion, but Mississippi Power would earn no profit.

I am trying to add my work calendar (read-only access is fine) in Outlook 2010 to my personal Zimbra account. I do not want to install the Outlook connector, since I do not want to sync my personal email, contacts, etc. to my work computer. Instead, I simply want to add a remote calendar to my Zimbra account that syncs events from my Outlook work calendar so I can view my all my calendars together via the Zimbra web client.
Here's what I tried:
- Published the Outlook 2010 calendar to Zimbra's webdav server via url "http://server/dav/myemail/". It published correctly, but when I try to create a new Zimbra remote calendar that syncs with the resulting webcal URL, I get error "Make sure the content of the URL is in ATOM/RSS format".
- Published the Outlook 2010 calendar to Office online. It published correctly, but when I try to create a new Zimbra remote calendar that syncs with the resulting webcal URL, I get the same error. I verified my email address has access to the published Outlook calendar.
Any suggestions? I already added all my Zimbra calendars to Outlook 2010 as Internet calendars (so when I am at work I can see all my work and personal calendars together). I am just trying to figure out the reverse situation, i.e. seeing my work calendar in my Zimbra account.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Gomez Ties School Record in Loss to No. 7 Michigan
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Iowa State softball team gave its best shot to No. 7 Michigan Sunday morning at Ulmer Stadium, but fell short by a margin of 6-4. The loss dropped Iowa State to 16-9 while Michigan improved 19-6.
The game featured Brittany Gomez tying a school record by stealing her 48th career stolen base.
A Strong Start for Johnson
Iowa State's freshman hurler Katie Johnson made quick start of the Wolverines lineup in the first two innings, only allowing one base-runner in the first two frames while striking out four.
That gave the Cyclones a platform to get going on offense. The Cyclones started the bottom of the first with infield singles from Gomez and Sarah Hawryluk. After two outs, ISU loaded the bases via a Lexi Slater infield single. However, the Cyclones could not bring anyone home as Rachel Hartman grounded out to end the inning.
The Iowa State bats had a chance to get going again in the second as Jorden Spendlove started the inning with a single. She eventually made it to third during Gomez's second single of the game. During Hawryluk's at-bat, a wild pitch opened the door for Spendlove to take a shot at home. It looked like Spendlove made it in, under the tag but the umpire at home plate disagreed and the Iowa State threat was cancelled out.
Iowa State Gets on the Board
With the wind blowing in, powering the ball out of Ulmer Stadium was out of the question so it was up to Michigan's small ball to bring home a run in the third and the fourth to make it 2-0 Michigan.
The Cyclones finally got involved in the offensive game in the bottom of the fourth when Lexi Slater led off the inning with a double. With one out and runners on second and third, Sara Rice grounded out to second, but did enough to bring Slater home and reduce the lead to 2-1 for Michigan.
A Decisive Sixth
Both teams manufactured runs in the fifth to put the Michigan lead at 3-2 leading to the sixth inning. The Wolverines got two on with one out when UM decided to bring Kelsey Susalla in as a pinch hitter. Susalla repaid the faith in her coaches with a double to right to make it 4-2 Wolverines.
Two batters later and with runners on second and third, Nicole Sappingfield hit a 2-RBI single to center to increase the score 6-2 Michigan.
Iowa State had confidence in its bats and they got to work in the sixth. Slater led off the inning with her second double of the day, after two outs, the Cyclones loaded the bases via walks by Sara Rice and Maddie Reese. During Gomez's at-bat, a passed ball brought home Slater to make it 6-3 Michigan. Gomez re-loaded the bases with an infield single, her fourth hit of the game, and during the Hawryluk at-bat a wild pitch allowed Rice's pinch-runner, Sami Reyes, to score to reduce the Michigan lead to 6-4. ISU was not able to bring more home as Hawryluk struck out to end the rally.
The seventh inning belonged to the pitchers as Johnson and Michigan relief pitcher Sara Dreisenga both retired the side in order to end the game.
Gomez Makes History
Brittany Gomez started the bottom of the fourth with a single to third base, one of her three infield hits on the day. During Hawryluk's at-bat, Gomez stole second base for her 17th steal of the season and 48th of her career. The sophomore tied the school record for career stolen bases with 48 with Adi Blackmon (2000-03).
Player of the Game
Brittany Gomez. The sophomore had her third 4-for-4 game in the last three weekends, also accomplishing the feat against Harvard at LSU, and North Dakota at Wichita State. Gomez also posted her 48th career stolen base, tying the Iowa State school record.
On Deck
Iowa State travels to Lincoln, Neb. for a game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers Wednesday at 5 p.m.

|Short agenda for council
|Written by Chris Lee
Holyoke City Council members had a short agenda for the Tuesday, Dec. 1 meeting.
Council members decided to offer a vacation day as a door prize at the city employee and council Christmas party. It was also suggested a second day be offered. Ray Bailey said the council needs to show appreciation to city employees.
The council approved the Colorado Discretionary Aviation Grant Application. The grant is for a pavement project dealing with the airport enhancement project.
City Supt. Mark Brown said the project will happen in 2010.
Reports of city officials
Police Chief Phil Biersdorfer reported there has been an issue with a telephone scam in Holyoke. He said a caller from Jamaica had been making harassing calls to residents in town.
Biersdorfer said they believe it has stopped because they haven't received any more reports.
City Supt. Brown said city crews are working on some alleys, repairing potholes.
In other business Dec. 1, council members:
—approved the annual appropriations ordinance.
—allowed the city clerk/treasurer to certify the mill levy at 21.8 mills and adjust the revenue in the 2010 budget to reflect the assessor's final evaluation.

|NRD board modifies rules proposal, new hearing set
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Friday, 22 February 2013 19:12
Allocation at 13", carryforward use at 7.5"
By Russ Pankonin
The Imperial Republican
Tuesday's regular board meeting for the Upper Republican Natural Resources District turned into a marathon session, lasting nearly eight hours.
Starting at 1 p.m., board members spent nearly 3.5 hours hashing out possible changes to the proposed allocations and carryforward cap presented at a public hearing Tuesday morning.
When it came to a vote to leave the annual allocation at 12.5 inches but increase the amount of carryforward available from five to 7.5 inches, the motion failed 4-6.
Board members voting for the measure included Dean Large, Terry Martin, Tom Terryberry and Tom Gaschler. Voting against were Jeff Wallin, Jason Kunkel, Loren Jessen, Kerry Bernhardt, Tom Schroder and Brett Bullock.
Board members decided to move on with other agenda items and revisit the proposals at a later date.
However, at the end of the agenda items, board members made another attempt to reach some type of compromise on the proposal.
On a vote of 6-4, the board approved sending a new proposal to hearing—an allocation of 13 inches and carryforward use with no penalty of up to 7.5 inches during the five-year allocation period.
Board members voting for the new proposal included Wallin, Jessen, Bernhardt, Bullock, Gaschler and Martin. Those opposed included Terryberry, Schroder, Kunkel and Large.
A public hearing on the new proposal has been set for Thursday, March 21.
Details of proposal
The allocation for the next five-year period would be left at the same level as the present allocation—13 inches.
The amount of carryforward that can be used without penalty during the allocation period would be 7.5 inches. Use of additional carryforward will be permitted, but any amount over the 7.5 inches will be charged at a 2:1 ratio.
Irrigators who conserve water and use under their allocation can preserve that savings as carryforward. If carryforward is not used during the period, it remains with the tract and is not lost.
The proposal does allow for any carryforward lost due to the penalty to be recouped. If water use is reduced by a like amount in the next five-year allocation period, then the irrigator will get those penalized carryforward inches back. The proposal will also penalize the overuse of water on tracts where there is no carryforward or may be in a negative balance.
If a tract has no carryforward, an irrigator will be allowed to borrow into the next allocation period but that will come with a price.
For every inch borrowed, an additional one-inch penalty will be applied when the new allocation period begins.
For instance, if a tract has only 12 inches of allocation remaining in the fifth year of the period, the proposal allows the irrigator to borrow into the new allocation.
If the irrigator borrows 10 inches from the next period, it will be charged at a 2:1 ratio or 20 inches. As a result, the irrigator would start the next allocation period with 20 inches less water.
Because of the possibility of increased water use during a drought year, such as experienced in the summer of 2012, the board reserved the right to review the rules on an annual basis.
The hearing March 21 will seek additional input from irrigators on the new proposal.
If approved by the URNRD board, it would go into effect 30 days after approval.

A Knoxville engineering resources firm recently became the newest licensee of technology developed at the Y-12 National Security Complex. MK Technologies Corporation is now the exclusive commercial patent licensee of SIMWyPES®, a method of enhancing cleaning items so that they leave dry surfaces ultraclean.
The environmentally friendly method of removing contamination on a nanoscale level incorporates a highly effective nontoxic proprietary treatment that transfers no residue to cleaned surfaces. A variety of items including cloths, swabs, polishers, filters and sponges can be treated. The company plans to start production in 2013. Read about the cleaning technology.
About the photo:MK Technologies CEO and founder Mike Carroll and director of strategic development and acquisition Chris Van Beke met Y-12 chemist and inventor Ron Simandl in his Y-12 laboratory to see the SIMWyPES® production process along with a sampling of its numerous applications. From left, Simandl shows Van Beke and Carroll two of a variety of items enhanced with SIMWyPES® technology.
Pantexans are proud of the work they do to "Secure America," but Wanda Call was looking to make an impact on a more local security issue in her spare time. Call, the Internal Audit Manager for B&W Pantex, found the opportunity she was looking for three years ago when she became treasurer for Amarillo Crime Stoppers.
"My special interest in Crime Stoppers was to make Amarillo and the surrounding communities a safer place to live and work by getting criminals off the street," Call said.
Call was honored for her dedication last week when she received the Board Member of the Year Award from the Texas Crime Stoppers Council, the first time the honor has gone to a board member from Amarillo, said Cpl. Sean Slover, coordinator of Amarillo Crime Stoppers Inc.
Crime Stoppers pays cash rewards to individuals who anonymously give tips about criminals that ultimately lead to arrest. Call, who has worked at Pantex more than 13 years, picked up her award at the 24th Annual Texas Crime Stoppers Conference in New Braunfels, Texas, earlier this month.

Los Alamos National Laboratory recently showcased some of its cutting-edge research concepts at the annual Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) event, "Creating Our Tomorrows, LDRD Day 2012." LDRD Day is a rare opportunity to get a glimpse into the future of science and engineering at LANL.
LDRD funding supports the most advanced, high-risk ideas at LANL. LDRD at LANL is a prestigious source of internal funding awarded to top-notch scientists and engineers to address national problems in the areas of energy security, nuclear security and scientific discovery and innovation.
As part of the project to translocate 60 desert tortoises to the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), a competition was held to name the fastest moving tortoise. From the more than 100 suggested names, Scurry was the winner with 30 votes posted on NNSS's Facebook page. Second place was Rock Steady and third place was Taco.
The name Scurry certainly fits this young but incredibly fast tortoise, who has traveled more than six kilometers since Sept. 21, 2012, when he and 59 of his friends were moved from the Desert Tortoise Conservation Center in Las Vegas to the Nevada National Security Site.
Following the translocation, Scurry immediately went on the move and surpassed even the quickest of his mates. Most of the tortoises, including Scurry, are settling down now and are expected to claim one general burrowing location for the rest of the fall and winter. Each week researchers continue to record the location, burrow size and type and the kind of plants surrounding the burrows of each tortoise.
The winning name came from Patricia Guy Cooper who received a gift basket provided by the Nevada Field Office.

Steve Castillo, manager of Sandia's Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems Engineering & Decision Support group, has been named 2012 Engineer of the Year by the Hispanic Engineering National Achievement Awards Conference (HENAAC).
He received HENAAC's highest honor, which recognizes leadership and technical or scientific achievements.
Castillo received the Engineer of the Year award at the organization's annual conference. HENAAC was established in 1989 to honor the contributions of outstanding Hispanic American science, engineering, technology and math professionals.

Five Pantex volunteers recently partnered with Girl Scouts to put on a STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) workshop for elementary-aged girls and assisted the Girl Scouts with their STEM-based activities.
Savannah Gates, a Pantex volunteer, said she jumped on the opportunity to volunteer with the Girl Scouts in hopes of being one of the rippling sources for the younger generation of girls.
"It felt so right being surrounded by the women working effortlessly to shape, guide and enable the next generation of young women into the strong female figures of tomorrow," she said.
Kathi Schutz, Amarillo Area Director for the Girl Scouts, said she was grateful that the women engineers came on the day the Girl Scouts were focused on engineering.
"They made the activities for the girls special just with their insight and passion for their profession," said Schutz. "This group of women spent one afternoon with girls and just by being young professional role models, influenced so many girls in a profound way."

Y-12 has taken additional steps to reduce its energy costs by installing nearly 100,000 square feet of new heat reflective cool roofs at the Oak Ridge, Tenn. facility. The latest Y-12 cool roofs were added to Buildings 9204-2E and 9103. Fifteen percent of roofs at Y-12 are currently equipped with cool roof technology. This technology is expected to be applied to the majority of Y-12 roofs.
"Replacing older, heat-absorbing roofs with the heat-reflective cool roofs is part of NNSA's strategy to achieve energy and cost efficiencies," said Dino Herrera, NNSA's Deputy Associate Deputy Administrator for Infrastructure and Construction. "We strive to lead the way as good stewards of the environment."
The light-colored cool roofs reflect more heat than darker roofs emitting absorbed solar radiation back into the atmosphere. By doing so, the roof covering remains relatively cooler and less likely to transfer heat down through the other components of the roof system and into the building.
The average energy savings for cool roofs range up to 15 percent of total cooling costs. Under the Facilities and Infrastructure Recapitalization Program Roof Asset Management Program, NNSA has installed nearly three million square feet of cool roofs at eight sites across the country and expects to save energy and related costs over the next several years.

Various activities were held Friday at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as part of its 60th anniversary celebration.
At each activity, LLNL Director Parney Albright praised the lab's workforce, as he talked about the lab's history, accomplishments and the future. "There are two common elements: an absolutely outstanding and dedicated workforce, and our ability to take that workforce and leverage cutting-edge, state-of-the-art science in the service of the nation," Albright said. "Our country is absolutely better off, safer and more secure because of the work that this laboratory has done over the last 60 years." Albright said, "We are really celebrating is not just the past 60 years, but the future of this Laboratory."
Science & Technology Day highlighted LLNL's record of innovation with featured speakers and panel discussions and a special awards ceremony. Albright gave out the Director's Awards to four team efforts as part of the Science & Technology Day activities. In addition, 15 former LLNL scientists and engineers were inducted into the Livermore's new Entrepreneurs' Hall of Fame.
NNSA's Sequoia supercomputer housed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has received a 2012 Breakthrough Award from Popular Mechanics magazine. Sequoia, an IBM BlueGene/Q machine, is ranked No. 1 on the industry-standard TOP500 list of the world's fastest high performance computing systems.
The annual Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Awards recognize the 10 top "world-changing" innovations each year in fields ranging from computing and engineering to medicine, space exploration and automotive design.
Breakthrough Awards are given in two categories: innovators, whose inventions will make the world smarter, safer and more efficient in the years to come, and products, which are setting benchmarks in design and engineering today.

Using shared mailboxes with the ZCO results in different behaviour when
compared with the ZCS web interface:
1. user2 shares their mailbox with user1
2. when user1 uses the web interface to reply to an e-mail that's in user2's inbox, the message has the From: header set to "user2@", as you would expect.
3. however, when user1 uses the ZCO (Office 2010 and Office 2003), and replies to a message in user2's inbox, the From: header is set correctly to "user2@", but the message also has a "Reply-To: user1@" header.
Using personas can sort-of work around this, but it's tedious, and does not happen automatically in ZCO.
Please alter the ZCO to mirror the behaviour of the web interface when replying to mail when using shared mailboxes.

1956 Ford F-100 Panel - The Perfect PanelWritten by on August 5, 2011 Dennis Carpenter's Cool Company Cruiser
That old saying, "a shoemaker's kids have no shoes" is often pretty darn accurate. It seems as though those who work in the trades are often too busy making sure others are fully supplied with their wants and/or needs that the tradesman (or manufacturer/seller, as the case may be) often doesn't have the time or opportunity to supply themselves with the same. Well, such was the case for Dennis Carpenter. Dennis has spent a lifetime's worth of waking hours making sure classic Ford aficionados of both the auto and truck persuasion have everything they may need to restore or in our cases "rodstore" our pride and joys at the cost of doing the same for himself. That is, up until a couple of years ago anyway.
That was when Dennis decided it was high time to build his dream truck. The iconic '56 F-100 would be the perfect truck to satisfy his urge to build, and an F-100 panel would be a perfect representative for his company, as well. So with that decision made the hunt was on for a suitable candidate.
Dennis soon found a great project in the way of a really solid two-owner '56. The panel's second owner, Albert "Ab" Watts, had purchased the '56 from its original owner back in 1960. Ab rebuilt the engine and for 20 years after used it as a hauler for his auto repair shop as well as an occasional driver. After a second going over and a fresh blue paintjob Ab lovingly used the panel right up until his passing in 1991. Ab's wife, Lucy, held on to the '56 until she herself passed in 2002. Dennis was lucky to have the opportunity to purchase the Ford from the Watts family later that year.
After getting his hands on his new purchase Dennis again succumbed to business commitments, but he never abandoned his plans. Finally, a few years ago the project was begun. Dennis enlisted the aid of Precision Rod & Custom to combine their talents with all the high-quality reproduction and wares Dennis Carpenter is known for, as well as all the best in the performance aftermarket—and as you can plainly see, the result is amazing!

Tech at Night: The government's data collection. Snowden pals around with dictators.
Tone deaf, or simply apathetic? Even as Americans are unhappy about government data collection, Obama wants to do more big data work on private citizens. Mike Crapo is looking in the other direction, though, and wants to investigate the data gathering the government is already doing.
China didn't want Edward Snowden. Russia didn't want Snowden. Ecuador apparently didn't want him, either. Not even Cuba wanted him, so he was left trying for fascist Venezuela, and unsurprisingly they dislike America so they like Snowden. Again and again, Snowden allies with America's opponents against America.Read More »

Manhattan, KS (Sports Network) - Collin Klein rushed for a pair of touchdowns
and threw for one more as No. 7 Kansas State punched its ticket to the Fiesta
Bowl with an emphatic 42-24 drubbing of the 23rd-ranked Texas Longhorns on
Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
Klein, a Heisman Trophy candidate, threw for 184 yards on 8-of-14 passing,
while running for 103 yards on 23 carries. John Hubert also had a huge day on
the ground for the Wildcats (11-1, 8-1 Big 12), running for three touchdowns
and 66 yards on 14 carries.
Tyler Lockett hauled in two passes for 73 yards and a touchdown as the
Wildcats bounced back nicely from a forgettable 52-24 loss to Baylor on Nov.
Kansas State ends its conference schedule in a tie for the top spot with
Oklahoma, who topped TCU earlier on Saturday, but the Wildcats will get the
BCS bid as a result of a 24-19 win over Oklahoma back in September. The
Sooners, however, are still alive to receive an at-large bid to a bowl game.
Case McCoy threw for 314 yards and two touchdowns in place of David Ash and
Malcolm Brown caught seven passes for 50 yards and a touchdown. He also ran
for 40 yards and a touchdown for the Longhorns (8-4, 5-4) who finished the
regular season on a two-game losing streak. Jaxon Shipley also caught a
touchdown pass in the losing effort for Texas.

Costs of Refusing a Breathalyzer Increasing
As of Sept. 1, people in Louisiana who refuse to take a breath test will have their driver's license suspended for one year. The penalty is twice as long as the current penalty for breathalyzer refusal.
"Now … it's worse if you refuse the test," said DWI attorney Robert Fleming.
Under Louisiana DUI law, a driver who refuses a blood alcohol test on a first DUI offense will have his or her driver's license suspended for six months and 18 months for a second refusal.
The new law that Gov. Bobby Jindal signed on June 1 doubles the first offense penalty and suspends the offender's license for two years on a subsequent offense.
Supporters of the new DUI law feel that it will give drivers the incentive to cooperate with police during a DUI stop.
Many supporters say that currently the common thought among many DUI offenders in Louisiana is to refuse the breathalyzer test.
"The problem was that drivers were refusing to take the test" on the advice of DUI attorneys, said Jefferson Parish District Attorney Paul Connick Jr.
According to Donna Tate, executive director of the Louisiana chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Louisiana has one of the highest refusal rates in the country. In 2005, 39% of drivers pulled over for drinking and driving refused a breathalyzer, when the national average was 22.4%.
