Build Your Own Exhaust at HomeWritten by on August 28, 2006 Contributors: Doug Glad Don't settle for tiny, crimped pipes to quell the roar of yourmusclecar instead build your own at home.
Like it or not, thanks to The Man's lack of humor regarding openheaders, you need to run some sort of exhaust system on the street andeven at some tracks. Not so long ago, choices for performance exhaustsystems were limited to either stock pipes spliced for headers and maybeturbo mufflers, or a trip to the local muffler shop for some custom-bentduals. Either way, you got relatively small-diameter pipes that wereformed with a conventional bender, leaving crimped curves that furtherreduced the pipe's effective cross section. Flow suffered as a result,making a full exhaust system a real compromise for high-powered streetmachines. Alternatives, like running big, straight pipes, mufflers, andturndowns ahead of the axle, can help keep power up but tend to makeroad driving a chore thanks to thundering noise and ground-clearanceissues.
We're luckier today. Exhaust solutions we could only dream about can nowbe obtained with a simple phone call or mouse click. Big-tube exhaustkits using mandrel bends to maintain consistent diameters minimize powerloss and are readily available from a variety of sources, for numerousapplications, with plenty of muffler options. As a bonus, you canprobably handle the installation yourself.
We decided to tackle the exhaust upgrade on our '69 Camaro to replacethe stock-style duals that had seen better days. Using components fromPypes and Flowmaster, we were able to get the entire job done in the CCshop without doing any welding, though we'll probably go back and lay afew beads to add durability and positive sealing at the joints thatwon't need to come apart again. We also investigated a few optionalitems that may be helpful on your system. Oh, and for those of you whodon't drive bellybutton cars, we've checked out some universal optionsas well.
Save the Manifolds
Although most performance exhaust systems willincorporate headers, we're going to stick with manifolds for a while. Inour case, the mechanical clutch linkage and the air-conditioningevaporator coil housing conflicted with some tube-header designs, and wehad some future improvements in store and wanted to hold off on headersto avoid other clearance issues later on. Other guys might just want tokeep the stock look under the hood. There are also those engines thatcame with headerlike cast-iron manifolds. The trouble with retainingmanifolds has been that most modern exhaust system kits are intended forheaders and begin under the toe board where a header collector wouldlie. Most factory manifolds are intended for a 21/4-inch pipe, soconnecting them to a 21/2-inch system requires some sort of step-down,typically necessitating a muffler shop, and it often ends up lookingugly. We recently discovered a bolt-on solution from Pypes PerformanceExhaust. Pypes is relatively new to the aftermarket performance exhaustscene, but one of its unique offerings is a line of manifold downpipesdesigned for factory musclecar applications. The downpipes combine astock flange with a mandrel-bent 21/2-inch elbow to mate with abig-diameter aftermarket system. Pypes also offers its own line ofcomplete exhaust kits, mufflers, X-pipes, and other performance exhaustparts and accessories, all aimed at the musclecar market.

When this Camaro's exhaust system was built back in the '80s, we werehappy just to find replacement factory-style pipes so a tight-fittingdual system could be made with aftermarket mufflers. It worked for yearsbut had to be costing power with its 21/4-inch crush-bent pipes andancient crossflow muffler. Now we can install a 21/2-inch mandrel-bentFlowmaster system that should fit just as well but will flow and soundbetter. We can do it ourselves with relatively basic tools.Obviously, larger tubes flow better, but eliminating the crimped bendsof stock-type pipes is probably an equally significant improvement.Before mandrel-bent pipes were offered in kit form, using them in anexhaust system meant fabbing the pipes by cutting and welding universalmandrel bends to straight pipe. Buying a kit requires a lot less skill,which we like.The stock system on most early F-cars uses a transverse muffler hungbehind the axle. This isn't an ideal flow arrangement, though it doesprovide an advantage in ground clearance. Flowmaster offers several kitsfor early F-cars, but its transverse version uses a single muffler casein the stock location that contains two separate mufflers, and theinlets enter the case through the top rather than the ends as withstock. It should flow more without taking up more space.1. Step one was removing our old system, some of which had been in placefor over 20 years. Stubborn rusty slip joints are almost a guaranteedcut-off item, but if you plan to retain the exhaust manifolds as we did(see Save the Manifolds sidebar) you'll still have to get the pipes off.Fortunately, we installed brass manifold nuts on the driver side in1986, and they loosened right up. The steel nuts on the passenger sidewere more troublesome, and we considered ourselves lucky that only onestud broke. Penetrating oil should be applied liberally well before thedisassembly attempt.2. Exhaust installers often recommend starting at the rear and workingforward, since most of the fitment issues lie with muffler placement andover-the-axle tubes, but we started at the front to make sure the kit'spre-welded H-pipe is compatible with our manifold setup. We didn't clampanything until we were sure everything was in the right spot and trimmedto the right length. We slipped the pipes together and hung them fromthe car with bungee cords and small lengths of rope. This also helpedset the height of the pipes relative to the floorpan, crossmembers, anddriveshaft. The front pipes are actually separate from the H at theangled section (arrows), providing some adjustability, and seemed toline up with the Pypes downpipes easily.3. This particular kit is actually intended for first- andsecond-generation F-cars, so some of the tubes will need to be trimmedfor proper fit on the smaller first-gen car we're dealing with. Theinstructions advise where to expect potential fitment problems and givedimensions for cuts, but sizing up the stuff for yourself is the bestbet. The first potential problem area we found was the union between theH-pipe and the tubes leading to the muffler. Since the placement of themuffler is dictated by the available undercarriage space, we marked thetrouble area but waited to make any cuts until after trial-fitting themuffler.4. Here's where the old "measure twice, cut once" deal comes into play.Our H-pipe was temporarily hung and the muffler was positioned with ajackstand. The clearance of the case, curve of the inlet pipes, andposition of the tailpipe outlets make its proper location fairlyobvious. Next, the pipes that connect the muffler to the H-pipe weretest-fit, revealing that the H must move toward the engine by shorteningthe head pipes leading to the Pypes downtubes. We held off on makingthose cuts until everything had been trial-fit.5. Areas that needed immediate trimming were the tubes leading into themuffler--the instructions say they have to be shortened by 21/4 inchesfor first-gen applications. Cutting the tubes could be done with ahacksaw, but that'll wear you out fast, especially with the thick-wallstuff Flowmaster uses. Our favorite, the Sawzall, makes quick work ofpipes, but making perfectly square cuts can be tricky. Instead, we useda chop saw for accuracy. This one, made by Clarke and available fromEastwood, was reasonably priced and made accurate cuts in mere seconds.6. Although most of the slip-fit joints were willing to stay togetherwithout clamps for the trial-fit process thanks to their horizontalorientation, a few needed help. Rather than risk crimping a new pipe byovertightening a U-clamp, we used a couple of band clamps for temporaryfitment. Band clamps are intended as a permanent solution to slip jointsthat need to remain removable, and they are effective, but most of ourjunctions will be welded when finished.
7. Early F-body tailpipes are somewhat unusual in that they come out ofthe side of the muffler and have to snake their way between the tire andthe frame as well as around the leaf springs to make it out the back.The stock pipes were snug and only 2 inches in diameter, so properplacement of the 21/2-inch Flowmaster tubes was absolutely critical.Remember that a little wiggle room will be needed so the pipes canvibrate without causing rattles. In this particular application, therear wheels and tires also needed to be test-fit before final assembly.8. Once the system's placement was finalized, the hangers wereinstalled. Since the Flowmaster system is dimensionally different thanstock, and probably a bit heavier, the kit includes unique heavy-dutyhangers. The forward hangers (shown) mount to the floorpan and requiredremoving the back seat for hardware installation, while the tailpipehangers come with self-tapping bolts.9. The tailpipes on this kit are unfinished, again because the kit isused for two body styles. We could mark the pipes, remove them, and thenuse the chop saw to trim them back or cut a slash in the end, but we'regoing to accessorize using some Flowmaster stainless tips. SomeFlowmaster kits include stainless tips, and we prefer that look tochrome for this car. Check the Flowmaster catalog (also on its Web site)for other options.10. Another accessory item we wanted to incorporate is the ball flange,which is also available from Flowmaster. Ball flanges offer a durablejunction without requiring gaskets, so they can be disassembled andreassembled repeatedly without issue. Our idea is to install the ballflanges at the back of the H-pipe so the center portion of the exhaustcan be dropped to make driveline maintenance easier. The inspirationcame from the stock setup used on 5.0-liter Mustangs.Although the transverse-muffler arrangement of this system offerssuperior ground clearance, it's not the quietest system Flowmasteroffers. If this becomes an issue, we may install a pair of Flowmaster'snew Hushpower resonators. Designed to be used with Flowmaster mufflers,these resonators are intended to be mounted aft of the mufflers. Thatwould be impossible on this application, but there's plenty of room inthe conventional muffler position. The Hushpower cases are low-profile,so ground clearance shouldn't suffer. We'll wait to try the systemwithout them first.So what if your car isn't covered by a specific kit? Flowmasteraddresses nonspecific exhaust needs with the U-Fit Dual kit, offered in21/2- and 3-inch versions. The kit includes tubes to create a completedual exhaust with crossover tube and tailpipes, including enough bendsto accommodate varying undercarriage arrangements. Mufflers are soldseparately. We'll be using this 21/2-inch kit on the CC/Rambler in thenear future.

This was simple, fast & tasty. I did add a little pepper & thyme when I added the soup & milk to boost the flavors a bit. My daughter (14) loved it. Normally she doesn't care much for leftovers but she pretty much told me the leftovers were hers & I was on my own. I made it on Saturday & she requested that I make it again during the week. This is definitely a keeper.
I cut the recipe in half and I used long grain rice instead of instant rice. It was pretty good. I did add quite a bit of salt & pepper to bring out the flavors and It was a lot creamier than the picture appears. Next time I may add a dash of cayenne for a little bite.
Read the reviews & made some changes. Cut tenders into chunks, sautéed with green onions & garlic in olive oil. Added fresh spinach. Cooked down & added cream of celery soup mixed with the milk. Cooked the rice separately with chicken broth & then added. Used cheddar cheese. Cooked til hot. Family loved it. Will make again.

Limited Late Model Motor - Build Your Own Race Engine, Part FourWritten by on March 1, 2009 Buttoning Up--Final Assembly Steps Before Heading Off To The Dyno
Finally, there's light at the end of the tunnel. In this, the fourth installment of Circle Track's Limited Late Model engine build, we're finishing up the assembly before heading back to KT Engine Development to dyno test our results. This is the fun part of the build, all the pre-fitting and measuring has already been done, and many of the steps on the following pages make the engine look complete. But just because we're doing "simple" things like bolting up the oil pan and valve covers, this is still not the time to get careless. Attention to detail is paramount if you want all your hard work to result in a race engine that not only makes good power but also will be dependable race after race.
Remember, our goal when we started this series, was not just to impress you with a cool engine when everything is finished, but to show you how you can do much of this work yourself. The money you save can go toward purchasing better-quality parts or the tire bill. It doesn't matter as long as it's assisting your racing program.
Along the way, we've tried to provide plenty of tips that will help you should you try to build-or rebuild-your own race engine. We chose a Chevrolet because it is by far the most popular make of engine to be found on tracks across the country, but no matter what brand you race or what class, much of what is found in this series can benefit you. After all, it doesn't matter if you are racing a pure stock or a Super Late Model, good engine-building practices don't vary. Let's get to it.

In the last installment we put the valvetrain together, and if you remember, we had issues with the pushrods rubbing the heads. We fixed this with Isky's adjustable guide plates. But we ran out of space and didn't show you that while we got the pushrods where we thought we wanted them, we totally screwed up the rocker locations. As you can see here, the rockers' roller tips aren't centered on the top of the valve stems. This is an engine failure just waiting to happen.This can be fixed by grinding the interlocking tabs on the Isky pushrod guideplates to build in even more adjustability. With the rockers studs loose so that the guideplates can be moved and the rockers sitting on top, everything was adjusted until the pushrods weren't rubbing and the rockers were centered over the valve stems.Before installing the front seal, apply a thin layer of silicone around the edge of the opening in the timing cover to keep oil from leaking around the outside edge of the seal.Gasket prep not only helps prevent leaks, but it also makes the gasket tacky enough that you can stick the gasket wherever you want and it won't move while you get the other component fitted up. But it's a good idea to only apply gasket prep to one side. If you apply it to both sides, it can sometimes make the gasket "squirm" or move slightly when you are tightening down the bolts.Before bolting up the timing cover, liberally apply assembly lube to the chain while you spin it over at the crank. The chain only gets splash oiling, so no matter how much you prime the oiling system before initial startup, it won't get anything.One product that can make your life a lot easier is an engine-specific bolt kit from ARP. It has all the correct bolts you will need for bolting up all the accessories-everything from the timing cover, to the oil pan, to the distributor bracket-all in one package with everything marked. It eliminates a lot of time wasted rooting around in your bolt bucket or making trips to the hardware store when you realize you don't have the fastener you need.For this install we're using a Moroso standard-volume oil pump, which comes with an excellent oil pump driveshaft. Don't make the mistake of using a stock-style pump driveshaft. It uses a plastic locking collar, which can break and leave you without any oil pressure. A good aftermarket pump driveshaft like this one uses a steel collar which won't break. Make sure the pump driveshaft stays engaged with the oil pump while you are sliding both into place.
Pull and clean the gears and, before reinstalling, fill them with assembly grease. This will help the pump prime faster and start sending oil throughout the engine.The cover has to maintain a good seal for the pump to work correctly, so apply a little blue Loctite when reinstalling the four bolts.You should use an oil-pump pickup designed to work with the oil pan you are using. A stock pickup, for example, will rarely work with a racing oil pan. The fit to get the pickup to slide into the pump housing will probably be tight. Most pickups have a ridge near the end that you can put a wrench on. Now you can tap the side of the wrench with a hammer to help encourage the pickup into position.To make sure the oil pump isn't left sucking air in the turns, the pickup must be between 3/8 and 1/4 inch off of the bottom of the oil pan. And the only way to know this is to measure. Begin by using a straightedge and a ruler to measure the distance from the oil-pan rail to the bottom of the pan in the area where the pickup will sit.Now measure from the pickup to the bottom of the block. Make sure to keep your straightedge level. Allow 1/16 inch for the compressed oil pan gasket. The distance from the block to the pickup should be 3/8 to 1/4 less than the distance from the pan rail to the bottom of the pan plus 1/16 inch for the gasket.In our case, there was too much room between the pickup and the bottom of the pan. Three washers underneath the tab on the pickup fixed this. Of course, if you do this, make sure to use a longer bolt on the oil pump cap to make sure you have enough threads engaged into the housing.Here's a quick shot of the Champ Pans oil pan we are using with the windage tray removed. Champ also provided the pickup. This is an eight-quart pan, which will provide enough volume of oil to help keep things cool. Notice the dividers. Each is equipped with a trap door that only allows oil to flow one direction. This helps keep oil trapped in the area around the oil-pump pickup so that oil can't move out from underneath the pickup thanks to g-forces in the turns. If that ever happens, your oil pump is left sucking air and your bearings are as good as dead.
While the engine is upside down for the installation of the oil pump and oil pan, now is also a good time to install the oil filter mount. This is a mount I picked up from Bradley Auto Parts, which has no bypass. Stock engines use an oil filter bypass to allow the oil to keep flowing even if the filter gets clogged or the oil pressure gets too high. This isn't the best option in racing. A mount without a bypass makes sure all the oil goes through the filter. Just make sure to use the largest oil filter you can get so that it will have plenty of capacity and keep it changed regularly.The oil-pan gasket is a four-piece set from Cometic. Begin by laying down the sides for the oil-pan rails. To help completely seal the pan, apply a small dab of silicone in the corners.Drop the end pieces in place, and then apply another small dab of silicone on top of the ends of the rubber pieces.Now the oil pan from Champ Pans is ready for installation. Be careful not to over-torque the oil-pan bolts (9 ft-lb is the recommendation), which can tear the gasket.Once the oil pan is secure, you can flip the engine back over and prepare it for the intake manifold. Many gasket kits include a rubber strip for the china wall, but these can slip out of place and allow a leak. Instead, apply a thick bead of silicone here.We're also using Cometic for the intake gaskets. One trick here is to apply gasket prep to the side of the gasket facing the cylinder heads. This will keep them from slipping out of position when dropping the intake manifold into place. Make sure none of the gasket interferes with the intake port. If it does, cut that portion away with a razor blade.Most Late Model classes require a dual-plane intake manifold, and Edelbrock's Performer intake (PN 2101), which we are using here, is the almost universal choice. Drop the intake in place and gently snug all the bolts. You should not have any gaps in the silicone between the china wall on the block and the bottom of the intake.Torque the intake manifold bolts to 30 pounds in two steps. The thick intake gaskets have a tendency to compress, so it's always a good idea to torque the bolts a second (or sometimes, even third) time until the gasket stops compressing.
The divider drops right in place and the water neck bolts right on top. Don't forget gaskets or at least some silicone on both sides of the divider so you won't wind up with an annoying water leak.High-end rockers will require a tall set of valve covers like this cast aluminum unit from Edelbrock. It arrives with breather holes already cut in, so you can use a drop-in breather like the one pictured from Moroso. The breather kit comes with rubber grommets to hold the breather in place. Put a breather in the valve cover that will go on the left side of the engine and a grommet plug on the right to keep oil from splashing out in the turns.Now you can install the water pump. This is a lightweight aluminum unit from Richard Childress Racing, which is available through most Chevrolet dealerships. Make sure to put thread sealer on the bolt that goes on the lower left-hand side (right in this photo) because it extends into the water jacket.Apply a thin film of grease inside the bore of the damper and install it. Do not make the mistake of trying to use the crank bolt to force the damper over the snout of the crankshaft. A damper installer like the one you see here is the only reliable way to install a damper on a crankshaft without damaging anything. This, by the way, is a small race-only damper from Professional Products. Its lighter weight, compared to a stock unit, should help this engine spin up faster.We are also using a fuel pump from Professional Products. This is a high-volume pump that works more efficiently than an old-style lever action pump. Also included in the kit is a fuel pressure regulator and several different fittings.Before installing the fuel pump, you must first slide the fuel pump pushrod in place. We got ours from Bradley Auto Parts. One trick is to put high-pressure lube on the ends of the pushrod. This not only protects it during initial startup, but the lube helps the pushrod stick to the end of the fuel pump lobe on the camshaft so that the pushrod won't slide out while you are trying to install the fuel pump.Unlike a standard fuel pump, this Professional Products unit has a piston that works on a parallel line with the fuel pump pushrod. This is one of the ways this pump can move more fuel with less parasitic drag on the engine.
Before dropping in the distributor, make sure to liberally apply some sort of thick lubricant to the distributor gear.These E3 plugs use a special tip that's supposed to help improve combustion efficiency. Most rulebooks make no mention of what type of spark plugs you can or can't use, so we're trying these out to see if they help make power.Before installing your plugs, you should always apply a thin coat of anti-seize to keep them from galling inside the cylinder heads.Most Limited Late Model-level classes require a stock-style distributor. For Chevrolets, this means an HEI that includes the coil inside the distributor cap. We're using a high-power race HEI from Moroso that should provide plenty of spark well in excess of 8,000 rpm-where stock HEI distributors just can't keep up. We're also using Moroso's plug wires, which are already cut to the correct length and marked one through eight to make everything just a bit easier. By the way, the standard firing order for a Chevy small-block is 1, 8, 4, 3, 6, 5, 7, and 2.To avoid crossover, make sure no two wires are touching. One cheap way to do this is to create a loom with zip ties, as you see here.Edelbrock's 2101 intake is designed for a four-barrel carburetor, and most classes at this level require a two-barrel Holley. To get it to fit, you will need an adaptor plate like this one from Bradley Auto Parts.

NBA: Agreement reached to sell Sacramento Kings | News
SACRAMENTO - The Seattle group led by hedge fund manager Chris Hansen, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and the Nordstrom family has finalized a deal to buy a controlling interest in the Sacramento Kings, two people with knowledge of the situation confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.
The people requested anonymity because the deal had not yet been announced. The Maloofs, who have owned majority interest in the team since 1999, will sell the 65% they control for a price based on a $525 million valuation of the franchise (approximately $341 million). The remaining 35% belongs to minority owners and would likely be transferred in the transaction so long as it's approved by the NBA's Board of Governors.The finalizing of the deal was first reported by NBCSports.com and ESPN.com.
"The NBA received an executed Purchase and Sale Agreement for the transfer of a controlling interest in the Sacramento Kings from the Maloof family to an investor group led by Christopher Hansen," the NBA said in a statement released Monday morning. "The proposed transaction is subject to the approval of the NBA Board of Governors and has been referred to the Board's committee process for review."
Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof, on behalf of the Maloof family, released a statement shortly after the NBA: "We have always appreciated and treasured our ownership of the Kings and have had a great admiration for the fans and our team members. We would also like thank Chris Hansen for his professionalism during our negotiation. Chris will be a great steward for the franchise."
The Hansen-Ballmer group is expected to file for relocation to Seattle before the league's March 1 deadline, and the Board of Governors would consider their bid at a mid-April meeting. The Seattle SuperSonics, as they would be called after that team became the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 2008 sale, would play at Key Arena in Seattle next season. A new facility is expected to be opened two years later. The Kings franchise was valued at just $300 million by Forbes magazine in 2012, but this current valuation of $525 million would surpass the league-record $450 million paid for the Golden State Warriors in July 2010.
The odds appear slim that this deal will fail, but NBA Commissioner David Stern has made it clear that Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, a former NBA All-Star point guard for the Phoenix Suns, will have a chance to make another last-ditch attempt to save his hometown team. Johnson, a Sacramento native, has been organizing an ownership group and an arena plan with the intention of making the sort of competitive counteroffer that would convince the NBA to block the relocation. It's a similar situation to the one in April 2011, when the Kings appeared headed for Anaheim before Johnson's bid in front of the Board of Governors led to the team staying.
In a statement made late Sunday night, Johnson didn't wave a white flag, while emphasizing Sacramento as a one-team town that provides the NBA more of a captive audience than Seattle.
"Sacramento has proven that it is a strong NBA market with a fan base that year in and year out has demonstrated a commitment to the Kings by selling out 19 of 27 seasons in a Top 20 market and owning two of the longest sellout streaks in NBA history," he said. "When it comes to keeping the team in our community, Sacramento is playing to win. In particular, we have been focused like a laser on identifying an ownership group that will both have the financial resources desired by the NBA and the vision to make the Kings the NBA equivalent of what the Green Bay Packers have been in the NFL."
Stern told news reporters in London last week the league had not received a purchase agreement. But Stern kept open the door for Johnson to make his case directly to the league.
"The Mayor of Sacramento has asked me, 'Well, if this comes to pass because we've been reading it in the newspapers - and he knows that anything he reads in the newspapers is likely to be accurate - could I come in and address the board of governors or the relocation committee?' " Stern said Thursday. "And I said, 'Always.' ... Communities have supported us, and many that haven't, but Sacramento has been particularly supportive (and) are always welcome to present. The mayor has been in before (in April of 2011 during the Anaheim chapter). That's it, other than the speculation of what's going on."
Stern and the NBA, alongside major sports business power Anschultz Entertainment Group, helped form Johnson's plan to keep the team in Sacramento before the Maloofs backed out of an arena deal last February. AEG recently re-emerged and is still on board with a possible arena plan, though that's merely one of the many avenues Johnson has been exploring.

ATLANTA (AP) - As Atlanta prepares to host the NCAA Final Four tournament, police officers converged on several parts of downtown to enforce a ban on vending on public property.
Atlanta police said officers were at several areas popular with vendors shortly after 6:30 a.m. Thursday to enforce the ban. Sites included the Five Points area near a main commuter train station; Woodruff Park and areas around Turner Field.
Police say the action was prompted by a December court decision involving Atlanta city ordinances on vending.
Police said in a statement that the timing of Thursday's pre-dawn police action was based on several factors, including the scheduling of several upcoming major events in the city. Atlanta hosts the final games of college basketball's marquee tournament, along with concerts and other events, April 5-8.

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest at Postal Playhouse
(LE MARS) -- "Do I look like a sane man?" This is a question asked by lead character Randall P. McMuphy in the upcoming production of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" at the Postal Playhouse in Le Mars. The show, based on Ken Kesey's 1962 novel of the same name, explores society, sanity and how people in power control individuals through subtle and coercive methods. Sounds pretty serious, I know, but through great writing and a cast of characters who bring a smile to your face, the journey of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is an entertaining one. The entire show takes place on a psychiatric ward where the men and staff of the ward are introduced to their newest patient Randall McMurphy, played by Ken Niehus. He's there to ride out a sentence of fake insanity top avoid the work farm. There he makes friends and enemies that will change his life completely. One confidant comes in the person of Cheif Bromden, an Indian of very few words, played by Dan Casey. Casey, who is employed by Nor-Am Cold Storage, was a theater major in college and has done a few things over the years. He is new to Le Mars Community Theater, but his experience shines through in his portrayal of the Bromden, whose narratives weave the story of Cuckoo's Nest together. Casey says it was the script that brought him in for the show... Listen here

Author William Kent Krueger Visit to Grey Eagle
"It was a dark and stormy night..." as spoken by author William Kent Krueger at the beginning of his author talk at Grey Eagle. Stormy indeed, but that didn't stop die-hard fans from coming to meet one of their favorite authors on Friday, June 21. The event was held in an oval community room at a local retirement home. Half was open to windows, making this venue the most perfect place for a murder mystery talk. With every lightning strike and boom of thunder, Krueger grinned as he spoke about his Cork O'Connor series and the different Minnesota locations in which the stories take place.
He was such a delightful, a genuine and appreciative man. He shared that he has such a special place in his heart for libraries and especially librarians who prompted his love of reading. Anyone who hasn't met Krueger, you will not be disappointed if you do, as he is such a kind person and entertaining speaker.

Jackson State University says building a domed stadium would create nearly $65 million in personal income and more than $7 million in revenue for the school in its first year of operation.
The Clarion-Ledger reports the claim was made in an economic impact analysis released Thursday by the university.
David Hoard, Jackson State vice president of institutional advancement, said the study shows a domes stadium would be an economic development engine for the community.
The analysis was performed by the state College Board based on data provided by Jackson State.
A bill that would have provided $75 million in bonds for construction on the stadium died in a legislative committee Feb. 27, the same day Hoard announced the project's $200 million price tag.

Tracy, Thanks for the comment I laughed out loud when I read it! My daughter encouraged me to post mine, said it looked like Napoleon Dynamite from the movie. Everyone seems to get a chance to shine in life, we can't always pick when that time will be. The geeky are often the brightest lights in the end!! Your illustration is very cute and for sure no one can take offence with it!!
I use the paint program that comes with windows. However I got photo shop last Christmas, but I need to delve a little deeper into how to do the layers properly. The program you're using seems good! Just have fun!

Your illustration is so cute! Photoshop is the most common and best program for digital art. If you don't want to spend a lot of money you can purchase an older version like 7 or 8, which were pretty good. Right now they are on 10. Corel Painter is really fun but not as versatile as Photoshop.

Your work looks professional to me. I really like this and was trying to figure out how you got the cool pattern in the floor. All of the digital programs are expensive. As a teacher you'd have access to Adobe's educational discount which is MUCH cheaper. There's a lot to learn with any of the programs. I have a book called The Photoshop and Painter Artist Tablet Book that shows how to do similar artwork using both programs. If you could find a copy of the book you could compare how they're used to do what you're interested in doing and see which looks more appealing to you. One thing Painter has that I really like is the ability to instantly turn the page as much or as little as you want, for drawing more easily, and then turn it back with a click. It also has a "tracing paper" feature that lets you dim a lower layer and trace on a new layer.

This is really cute as it is! Being an art director, I've used Photoshop and Illustrator since 1991 or 92... it's been so long I can't even remember anymore. If you like vector line art, Illustrator is the way to go. Otherwise, Photoshop is the all encompassing software of choice. Once you learn all the tools, all you really need is a good pencil (or pen), a scanner, and Photoshop. I felt like I was cheating when I used the Wacom tablet, so I never used it again. The basic Photoshop is horrible. If you spend the money, the full version is the way to go to get allthe necessary tools. You can find a cheaper version on ebay a few versions back.

For Immediate Release:
October 22, 2003
Elizabeth Adams
NAMI, the Nation's Voice on Mental Illness, is calling for federal and state legislative action in conjunction with the release of a report by Human Rights Watch documenting mistreatment and neglect of individuals with mental illnesses in U.S. prisons.
"The report is more than a wake-up call. It is the equivalent of a five-alarm fire," said NAMI legal director
Ron Honberg. "It documents brutal, appalling conditions and the denial of medical treatment of individuals who suffer from severe illnesses—who in spite of their incarceration are sick through no fault of their own."
"The report gives new urgency to passage of the DeWine-Strickland bill now pending in Congress, and other proposals for fundamental change in the nation's criminal justice and mental health systems."
The 215-page report, Ill-Equipped: U.S. Prisons & Offenders With Mental Illness, finds that the more than 250,000 offenders with mental illnesses in U.S. prisons are:
Prisoners who have attempted suicide or self-mutilated have been punished for "destroying state property," Humans Rights Watch reports. Those who yell and kick cell doors because of hallucinations or smear feces in cells are punished, for "creating a disturbance" or "being untidy."
Human Rights Watch is an international non-profit organization that conducts regular, systematic investigations of human rights abuses in approximately 70 countries around the world.
"This is not a criminal justice issue. It's not just about mental health care," Honberg said. "It's about fundamental human rights and the example the United States should be setting for the rest of the world."
"It is about corrections officers being saddled with burdens for which they have not been trained, because the federal government and states have failed to build community-based mental health care systems designed to help people so that they do not even become offenders."
The report is available on-line at www.hrw.org/reports/2003/usa1003.

As The Nation's Voice on Mental Illness, NAMI leads a national grassroots effort to transform America's mental health care system, combat stigma, support research, and attain adequate health insurance, housing, rehabilitation, jobs and family support for millions of Americans living with mental illnesses. NAMI's one thousand affiliates are dedicated to public education, advocacy and support and receive generous donations from tens of thousands of individuals as well as grants from government, foundations and corporations. NAMI's greatest asset, however, is its volunteers—who donate an estimated $135 million worth of their time each year.

I am tasked with seeing what it would take to update our spamassassin filters on our Zimbra server.
"It's been letting through a lot of crap lately." says The Boss and I am unclear how to verify what he may be 'seeing' as 'crap'.
Sorry for the language.
Some facts about the host:
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi
Linux cirrhus9b 2.6.16-xenU #14 SMP Wed Nov 23 08:48:06 EST 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
zmcontrol -v status
Release 5.0.18_GA_3011.UBUNTU8 UBUNTU8 FOSS edition
What I seem to gather from cursory queries at google via "site:zimbra.com" is that sa-update is not included with this release and I could not find it.
While I do have a /opt/zimbra/conf/spamassassin/sa-update-pubkey.txt
No biggie. It seems that I can download new rules|filters from here... and this post suggests I can download them and use an include directive so I may stick them in a sub-directory of my choosing. And I am unsure how to do that exactly, or what edits to make.
SpamAssassinRules - Spamassassin Wiki suggests that I can edit /opt/zimbra/conf/spamassassin/local.cf
I found many versions of rules here...
Can I arbitrarily pick any rule set to download?
I am currently reviewing:
Improving Anti-spam system - Zimbra :: Wiki
CustomRulesets - Spamassassin Wiki
SpamAssassinRules - Spamassassin Wiki
WhereDoLocalSettingsGo - Spamassassin Wiki
says "Type "man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf" for details of what you can configure, and how to do it.
However, perldoc is NOT installed.
So, in summary:
How can I as a root or zimbra user 'see' what my boss is calling 'crap'?
How can I update my spamassassin rules|filters manually?
Are they any key subjects here that I should be aware of?
Thank you for your time.
Not sure if it's a moderation issue or not but I hit reply to update this and it didn't update the post.
So edit it is.
Q: So is it ok to update manually by downloading all *.cf files from a channel and copy it to /opt/zimbra/conf/spamassassin ?
A: Yes that is no problem at all ... just ensure the file permissions and ownership are correct.
Thank you all for your time,

text: Hi, We are running ZCS 5.0.2711.18. What's happening is when we add a new user to Zimbra, they get added to the GAL right away. But when we delete a user, they are not removed from the GAL. This just came to our attention because we had to do a big system wide restore using restored_ accounts and low and behold, after removing the restored_ accounts, they are all still in the GAL on the BES server. Even if I shut down the BES services and go into the outlook, the Global Address Book still shows all these deleted users. Is there a way to tell outlook/ZCS to resync the GAL?

We talked to 10 guys about threeway sex–how was it? Did you learn anything? If you haven't had a threesome, was it for lack of trying or otherwise? We figured the universal male response would be, "Yes, they are great," but it's slightly more complicated than that. Read on if you dare, but be warned: the discussion gets graphic in places. To balance out the illicit nature of the slides, I've used images of adorable baby animals to cleanse your heart.

I think it's safe to say that we've all let out an exasperated sigh at the toddler in front of us at the grocery story yelling to the top of their lungs because their mom isn't buying them candy.
Oh to be young and unaware of what's socially acceptable.
Buzzfeed recently asked how it would look like if this sort of behavior was done by adults. The results? Hilarious tantrums thrown over things that actually do upset us on a day to day basis.
Starring in this short is none other than writer and standup comedian, Jenny Yang. The Taiwanese American comedian was a top finalist of the California's Funniest Female stand up comedy contest, and has performed at The Comedy Store, Improv Comedy Club and The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
More recently, Yang is the producer of the first-ever all female, Asian American standup comedy tour, Dis/orient/ed Comedy.

OK I admit it, I'm old and resistant to change. But who f*cked up my familiar comfortable hanging out place?And why?Reallly - why?
I'm thinking that we may, indeed, be able to offer a few options for the forum layout. I'll see what I can do to set one up that's somewhat similar the previous version. For you naysayers - Other than general familiarity, what specifically do you miss from the old layout and what specifically do you dislike about the new one?So far, one common point I'm hearing is that the new layout is too wide and that there are readability issues. Kind of funny... making the layout wider was the most common point of feedback we used to get on the old layout. I'll see if I can tune it a bit. There's room for compromise, methinks.

The Energy Report: With so many types of products, can biofuels be considered a single industry?
Ian Gilson: Biofuels is a name we give to many products from several processes that produce fuels based on sources other than coal and oil. As such, biofuels are really many industries. The two major industries are ethanol and biodiesel. Others include fuel from algae and alternative cellulosic materials. Ethanol and biodiesel are sold into two different industries and serve different markets. Ethanol is mixed with gasoline and biodiesel is mixed with diesel fuel.

Patagonia Ultralight Down Shirt
Patagonia Ultralight Down Shirt
www.patagonia.com | $250 | 5 Stars
The new Patagonia Ultralight Down Shirt is one of the most useful pieces of gear I've ever had. This sub-six-ounce miracle of warmth has a place in my climbing pack in every season. I wear it as a mid-layer in the winter, a belay jacket in the summer, and over a collared shirt when I'm carousing around town in the fall and spring. I even climb gymnastic sport routes in it.
I admit I was skeptical at first. There's no shortage of great down jackets out there—and Patagonia itself makes a number of them with various ratings of warmth and loft. The Ultralight Down Shirt looked like just another down jacket … only there was way less down.
Its weight is also what makes this piece so special. The shirt is so light you don't even notice it's on you. Its trim cut fits close to your body, which is one reason why it's so warm. It doesn't fit under a harness, which is fine; I just wear it over the harness. The super-light nylon isn't stretchy, so the piece doesn't move as well as, say, a soft shell. But for climbing in cool temps, I prefer this piece to a sweatshirt or softshell, exactly because it's so much lighter and unobtrusive.The shirt comes with a stuff sack, and packs down to the size of a softball, which easily fits into the top of my pack. I'm even considering getting a second one: to keep one in my climbing pack at all times, and another to wear daily.

"They didn't have what it took to take down a team like that—they are the real deal," said Coach Penny Hite. The Lady Plainsmen fought hard but lost 10-25, 13-25 and 10-25 against one of the top teams in the area who ultimately ended up at the state competition being held this week. "We couldn't get our offense going," said Hite. "We struggled on serve receive more than anything." Hite has spent the last several weeks in a close bond with the girls during volleyball season, and more than that, the past several years as an instructor in Perkins County Schools—she will miss the senior girls Shania Metcalf, Michi Prante and Jessie Woodmancy.

State eyes Canadian drugs
This is another installment in an ongoing series about the high cost of health care and health insurance.
In September, the governors of Illinois, Minnesota and Iowa grabbed national headlines when they asked their staffs to find ways to cover Canadian prescription drugs with state insurance.
West Virginia has been exploring that possibility for three years, said Tom Susman. "The governor asked us to start looking at it early in his term," he said.
"When we have seniors who must decide whether to eat or buy prescription drugs because the drugs cost so much, it's no longer simply a political or economic issue," Gov. Bob Wise said Friday. "This is getting to be a moral issue.
"We can't wait for Congress. We've got to do all we can here."
Canadian drugs cost, on average, about half as much as their U.S. counterparts.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration insists that, if you buy a prescription drug from Canada, it's not safe, and you are breaking the law. West Virginia is the fourth state in four weeks to publicly question those assumptions.
"I don't want to raise false hopes that it's going to happen," said Susman. Many questions still have to be answered. "But we're talking with the same people Illinois is talking with."
In late September, PEIA Pharmacy Director Felice Joseph traveled to British Columbia and talked with Canadian officials about multistate bulk buying and reimportation of Canadian drugs.
Friday, she took part in a conference call with employees of CanUSA, a Canadian pharmacy that contracts with the city of Springfield, Mass. They discussed practical problems that would have to be resolved before Susman could provide Wise with a viable plan, she said.
West Virginia spent $476 million on prescription drugs in fiscal 2003, she said, including $116 million for prescription drugs for state employees. With drug prices rising an average of 15 percent a year, PEIA's drug costs have risen 57 percent since 2000, when the overall cost was $66.4 million.
"Anything that will keep prescription drug costs down, we're looking at it," Susman said.
Is it legal?
The governors of Illinois, Minnesota and Iowa all say they expect a legal confrontation with the Bush administration. "This is a question of states' rights," Abbie Ottenhoff, press secretary for Illinois' governor, told the Sunday Gazette-Mail. They may end up in court, she said.
William Douglas, who directs the West Virginia Pharmacy Board, disagrees. "It is disheartening to hear that states are considering risking public safety in order to save money," he said. "It is still illegal and — according to the FDA — unsafe to import drugs from a foreign country."
The Pharmacy Board is trying to shut down Fairmont's order-from-Canada storefront, Discount Prescription Center.
"What proof is there that there is a significant risk?" Iowa governor Tom Vilsack asked the Washington Post. "If there is a risk, let's do something about it."
The FDA has never prosecuted an individual who orders from Canada. But, as the number of Americans ordering from Canada multiplies, the FDA is escalating its efforts to shut down the ways Americans order from Canada.
Illinois takes the position that the federal government has no authority to tell states where to buy prescription drugs, Ottenhoff said.
"Illinois has taken a viable legal position," said West Virginia University law professor Kevin Outterson, who specializes in health law. "It is a good faith interpretation of law.
"Two Constitutional provisions are in potential conflict. On one hand, the commerce clause says that Congress can regulate commerce between the U.S. and foreign lands. On the other hand, states have police power over the health and safety of their citizens, particularly when they're doing it for their own employees and retirees. There is a question of which law prevails."
The health and safety of Illinois citizens is definitely at stake, said Ottenhoff. "We have one out of four seniors skipping drug doses or not taking them at all because they can't afford it. Prescription drugs are eating up our budget, and we've got the worst budget crisis in our history.
"If the federal government isn't going to take action, the states will have to," she said.
"We'll be watching closely," Susman said.
Thursday, Minnesota's governor, Tom Pawlenty, upped the ante. He announced that Minnesota will definitely buy from Canada and also put up a Web site through which all citizens can order from Canada.
"I think, politically, these states are putting pressure on the federal government," said Richard Stevens, director of the West Virginia Pharmacists Association. "They are saying, 'If it's illegal, stop us from doing it.' The question is: What's that action going to be?"
Meanwhile, on other fronts
Many hundreds of miles from the Canadian border, the Wise administration is attacking high drug costs on many fronts. It has:
"We try to take a total system approach," Susman said. "Leave no rock unturned."
Even if the three states win in court, practical questions must be resolved before West Virginia would order from Canada, Susman said. It's not as clearcut a proposition as it might seem.
First, he said, the Canadian supplier would have to agree to work through West Virginia's pharmacy benefits manager. CanUSA wants to be the manager, he said, but he feels uncomfortable with the idea of sending public employee information to another benefits manager.
"We want our information in one place, where we know we can spot possible negative drug interactions.
"People talk about drugs as if they were M&M's," he said, "but I guarantee you, they're not. And my first responsibility is to make sure that we do no harm to our members."
PEIA subscribers buy drugs from a network of approved pharmacies. The network is managed by the state's pharmacy benefits manager, ExpressScripts. Susman said he plans to ask ExpressScripts if it can add a Canadian pharmacy to its network. That could solve the problem, he said. All information would still flow through ExpressScripts.
Another obstacle: Most Canadian pharmacies want the buyer to deal directly with them. But Susman wants the local pharmacist in the loop, he said. Otherwise, there is a real danger, in West Virginia, of clobbering uninsured people.
If West Virginia were to say, "OK, state employees, you can buy directly from Canada instead of through the local pharmacist," local pharmacies would have to make up that loss somehow, he said.
About 99 percent of the 200,000 public employees now covered by PEIA buy through local pharmacies, the PEIA's Joseph said. They are a much bigger percentage of the population in West Virginia than they are in Illinois, for instance. In many counties, they are the biggest employee group.
"If pharmacists lost the public employee business, they would have to pass that loss on to what few remaining people who pay for their prescription drugs," said Stevens, of the Pharmacists Association. Uninsured people and people who have private insurance would be the losers.
So Susman wants to find ways to go through local pharmacists. "If wholesalers could reimport the drugs from Canada, for instance, and distribute them at those lower prices to local pharmacists, I wouldn't have a problem with that," he said.
The pharmaceutical companies definitely have a problem with that. Earlier this summer, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that lets local pharmacies buy from Canada. Soon thereafter, several major pharmaceutical companies announced that they would refuse to sell to wholesalers that resell to Americans. The Senate bill has been stuck in conference for four months.
It's maddening, Susman said. "The Congress could solve this problem for everybody without spending a dime," he said. "They could mandate, for instance, that all Americans get the same kind of prices the federal agencies get. Why don't they do that? Pass on the wealth. Save us all a lot of grief."
Another problem: The Canadian ordering process is cumbersome. First, your doctor fills out a medical form. Then you send that form with your prescriptions to a Canadian doctor, and they validate — or don't validate — your doctor's prescriptions.
"Instead of doing all this Mickey Mouse of having your physician send a medical file to Canada and get one of their doctors to approve it," he said, "we should be able to get those prices here. It keeps coming back to that."
"The bottom line is, states can't solve this problem by themselves," he said. "...Congress needs to step in and mandate Canadian-level prices for everybody, not just state employees."
In 2000, Congress passed a law that allows citizens to buy from Canada, Susman noted. It has never been implemented because it says the Secretary of Health and Human Services must certify the safety of the entire Canadian drug stream.
"It's safe to say that the pharmaceutical companies had that clause put in," said Joel Barkin, press secretary for Vermont's Rep. Bernard Sanders, who sponsored the first buy-from-Canada legislation. The pharmaceutical manufacturers employ more than 570 paid lobbyists in Washington, he said, more than one for each member of Congress.
Chipping away
Wise hopes the multistate group will be an important step toward Canadian-level prices in this country.
West Virginia, Delaware, New Mexico and Missouri are the first states to band together to negotiate drug discounts. "Lots of people have talked about it," Susman said, "but nobody has done it."
The multistate group may be eyeing Canadian drugs, too. They have invited CanUSA to make a presentation in December.
Susman organized the group at Wise's request. Last year, the state saved about $7 million after the four states merged the administration of their employee health plans.
"We've had a lot of interest from other states," Susman said. States are watching to see how it goes. The bigger the group, the bigger the drug discounts are likely to be.
He envisions spreading the benefits further. "If we're successful, we can pull small businesses in."
In 2002, West Virginia received a $1.3 million grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to explore that very possibility. Susman is planning a way for small businesses to insure employees through PEIA at a cost 20 percent to 25 percent below market costs. Canadian-level drug prices would make that vision possible. Small businesses that buy into PEIA insurance would get those prices.
Ultimately, Wise said, he hopes the group will grow large enough to command major discounts.
"I've joked that we may be leading bus tours of seniors to Montreal," he said. "But that's a short-term solution at best. What we really need is relief in this country, fair prices in this country. We're concentrating on that direction."

You can add to your savings while you wait for the federal government to lower prices
Uninsured people get few deals. Insurance companies negotiate discounts on drug prices. So do hospitals. Uninsured people pay full fare, fend for themselves. Here are fending tips that can save you significant money.
First: Get on the Internet and go to DestinationRX.com. Scroll to the bottom. Click on Press. You will see many articles full of good advice. Look at the Harvard Heart Letter's "7 ways to save money on prescription drugs." At DestinationRx, you can also compare the best U.S. prices for your medication, free of charge.
Caution: Many American online companies do not ask, as many Canadian companies do, what other medications you are taking. If you order online, you lose the local pharmacist advice. So make sure your doctor looks carefully for negative interactions with other drugs you take.

|Dealing with the loss of loved ones
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Dear Editor,
Recently I read a letter to the editor, which concerned a terrible experience. A young man was lucky to survive to tell us his story. This young man lived through a nightmare, that was caused by a careless thoughtless person. A drunk driver.
I also lost a nephew and niece due to drunk drivers. My nephew was riding his bike home from work, he lived in the state of Illinois. My niece was 15 and lived in Michigan and was walking with three friends on the sidewalk when a drunk driver went onto the sidewalk killing her and injuring her friends. The woman served one year jail time and a fine and is probably still driving to this day. "I wonder if they even think of what they have done?"
Since I moved from Sedgwick County in 1969, there have been a lot of terrible accidents which caused death or caused many injuries and handicaps. Not only here in Phillips County but other surrounding counties also.
Also there have been a lot of suicides. I think people who threaten to take their lives because they are angry, depressed or can't cope with the hardships in life should be put in a good rehabilitation facility until they learn to cope with life. For God gives us life and only he takes our life when the time comes.
We as parents, grandparents, great grandparents, foster parents or adoptive parents do the best we can to raise them. Sacrifice whatever we can afford to see that they have an education. Pay doctors bills, clothes, groceries, utilities, etc.
Although we as parents or those who have had the pleasure of love and happy times raising our children have had to work all our lives. Lack of sleep, we had to work late nights or very early mornings. "Why?" Well just as our parents did for us so we could have an education and have what we needed in our way of living.
I got married when I was 21 years old. I worked since the age of 8. We had very hard times. We helped our parents. We never had money to spend. $5 a month was a fortune to me.
No matter how tough the times were for us, we never thought of causing needless worries for our parents.
Now I am so disappointed, shocked, very sad and perplexed that we have to mourn, grieve, cry and sit late at night and wonder why. Those who commit suicide leave the ones who loved them to face the questions without answers.
I don't think alcohol should be sold or served to one who has already been drinking more than they should.
Prescription drugs should only be given by a doctor and put in a safe place. If at home, the patient should be given the prescription only by an authorized family member with permission or doctor's knowledge.
More potent drugs such as cannabis, morphine, etc. should only be administered by a licensed doctor at the hospital or clinic or the doctor comes to the home of the patient and not let them do it themselves.
God bless our country.
God bless everyone.
Sincerely yours,
Eufracia Secrist

The German nineteenth-century artist Wilhelm Busch is regarded as one of the founders of the modern comic medium. He became interested in art after seeing the work of the Dutch and Flemish painters Frans Hals and Paul Rubens. After completing a polytechnical studies in Hanover and an education in lithography in Dusseldorf, Busch settled in Munich and started drawing caricatures for the paper Fliegende Blätter in 1859, and from 1871 also in Münchener Bilderbogen.
Initially influenced by the Swiss artist Rodolphe Töpffer, Busch's art style eventually developed into a more fluid one, while his storytelling became more satirical. In 1865, he drew his "pictoral stories" with the characters 'Max und Mortiz', two unscrupulous and sadistic boys.
Although the characters appeared in only one story (which consisted of 7 episodes), 'Max und Moritz' became Germany's best known comics characters, were translated in over 30 languages and inspired various artists in the decades that followed. Most notably, the American artist Rudolph Dirks based his 'Katzenjammer Kids' on the two mischeavous boys.
In addition, Busch conceived works like 'Drei Bilderbogen' (1860-62), 'Bilderpossen' (1864), 'Die Kühnen Müllerstöchter' (1868), 'Pater Filuzius' (1872), 'Die Fromme Helene' (1872), 'Dideldum' (1874), 'Flipps der Affe' (1879), 'Mahler Klecksel' (1884), 'Von mir über mich' (1879), 'Eduards Traum' (1891), 'Der Schmetterling' (1895), 'Zu Guter Letzt' (1904), 'Hernach' (1908) and the posthumous released 'Schein und Sein'.

Poster Design and Written Analysis in First-Year Writing & Rhetoric
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT: Since the University of Colorado's WRTG 1150, "First-Year Writing & Rhetoric" classes are intimate learning spaces in which CU students gain their introduction to university writing, it is essential to introduce innovative and effective technological pedagogies at this level. That Writing & Rhetoric courses invite the creative interplay of written, visual, and sound communications, further emphasizes the need for powerful multimedia pedagogies—not as add-ons or filler—but as a fundamental aspect of course content. The small class size of 18-20 students will allow us to achieve these goals with hands-on experiential learning that encourages a fearless attitude towards exploring new technologies in relation to persuasive writing and the extent to which they can help meet the overarching goals of WRTG 1150.
PURPOSE: To help students in WRTG 1150 develop the ability to see persuasive communication as the interrelationship between LOGOS and PATHOS across a range of interacting contemporary media: written, aural and visual. We hope to foster the perception that written persuasion must work to establish a creative interplay with visual images, video, sound, web 2.0 technologies, and social media, all of which have such a pervasive influence in contemporary social persuasion.
TECHNOLOGY & METHOD: I have designed a short 3.5-week unit of Poster Persuasion and Written Reflection to meet these complex rhetorical objectives. For this Unit Two assignment, students will design two different 17" X 11" poster treatments of a specific and original organizational "call to action," as well as a powerfully argued 3-page Analysis/Reflection of their poster goals and rhetorical strategies. Outcomes will be determined by asking students to submit all drafts of their posters, and more importantly, by emphasizing that students will be graded 50% on their ability to reflect and analyze their overarching persuasive concept in written form, rather than exclusively on the profession quality of their final text/image design.
SPECIFIC TECHNOLOGIES: Working in the design medium of their choice—Powerpoint, Gimp, Photoshop, In Design, etc—students will gain an understanding of "persuasive composition" as the skillful manipulation of text slogans (or "call to actions") in relation to their 11" X 17" poster images. The holistic nature of human sight demands that these two seeming distinct forms of persuasion—TEXT SLOGAN and IMAGE—must be merged if the students' chosen audience is to be persuaded in poster form. During this 3.5 week project, we will consult numerous real-world poster models; hold in-class seminars in image/text poster design; create small group feedback teams; and discuss our developing work—both the written analysis and the two 11" x 17" poster treatments—in large group workshops. Atlas labs are available if students need them, as will the mentorship of graphic designer Dave Underwood in OIT.

Silver Springs meeting set
Published: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 5:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 5:28 p.m.
State environmental regulators have scheduled a public meeting for next week to discuss the future of Silver Springs.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection will host the session at 7 p.m. on Dec. 12 in the cafeteria at Vanguard High School in Ocala.
Spokeswoman Jennifer Diaz said the purpose is to allow DEP's park planners to gather input potential land management and recreational needs and wants at the site.
DEP officials have declined to comment on whether the meeting is being held because Palace Entertainment, the California-based theme park operator that has run the attraction since 2002, is planning to surrender its lease.

Video: PHOTOS: Va. Woman Struck Cruiser, Was Shot At Before Arrest
Video: Sky 9 Video: Car Crash, Arrest In Bethesda
BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA) -- A Virginia woman is in custody after ramming her car into a police cruiser and attempting to run an officer over at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, say officials.
Montgomery County Police have identified the woman as 27-year-old Angela Akosua Cobbold of Manassas, Va. According to police, the incident began when Virgina State Police caught the driver on radar going 93 mph on I-66 at 11:25 p.m. Virginia police began chasing the black Mitsubishi but put a look out for her with Maryland authorities after Cobbold crossed the state line.
Police say Cobbold approached the Walter Reed entrance at about 11:50 a.m. and made a u-turn in front of the guard booth. She was trapped in traffic while trying to exit. Department of Defense police officers (DOD) approached her car and noticed Cobbold biting on what they believe was a bar of soap. When she noticed the officers she struck a vehicle and took off on Wisconsin Ave.
Cobbold eventually returned to Walter Reed. When a DOD officer noticed her, he stopped the vehicle but she refused to put down her window. The officer then used his baton to break the rear driver's side window but Cobbold continued to refuse to roll down her window, Montgomery Police say.
When the officer broke the driver's side window, Cobbold backed up into the DOD cruiser, drove over the curb, across the sidewalk before taking off, police say.
Cobbold encountered another officer at the intersection of Wisconsin Ave. and the Walter Reed entrance gate. The officer fired one round at her car after she attempted to drive her car towards him, according to police.
Police say she began heading northbound on Wisconsin Ave. on the southbound lanes. Eventually she crashed into Nebel Street near Nicholson Lane in Bethesda.
Montgomery County police pursued the car, say NSAB officials. She was eventually arrested when her car crashed into Nebel Street near Nicholson Lane in Bethesda.
Sky 9 captured video of police pulling someone from the car and then take him or her into custody.
Police continue to investigate the incident.
