I am a very new user of Zimbra. I started to use it today. One problem I encountered was the use of the Swedish characters å, ä and ö.
It was not possible to use these characters when creating new tags.
And by the way, a minor thing, is it possible to change time format and the week format (if you would like to have a week start with monday rather than sunday)

A plethora of new polls on Midwestern House seats – IA, IN, MI, MO, OH, WA, WI
Yes, I know Washington isn't in the Midwest. So sue me. In any case, we got a huge batch of polls for House races yesterday, which are normally few and far between. They also tend to be overlooked by blogs, so I thought I would give them a bit more exposure. Besides, they're mostly good news. The polls come to us courtesy of Ayres, McKinley, | Read More »

Average Customer Review: based on 2 reviews.Rating: Pinnacle 7mm Tempo Merino Elastiprene Super-Stretch Wetsuit Review - Scuba Gear Customer Reviews
I am 610" and 320lbs. 4XL size have dimensions that it could fit me. Any suggestions? Tips?
The most important measurements any time you purchase a wetsuit using the manufacturer''s sizing charts will always be your waist and chest/bust measurements. The suit needs to fit your torso correctly in order to do its job properly. Keep in mind there is no such thing as a comfortable wetsuit on the surface. You want it to be snug, but not cut off circulation to your extremities. The more snug it is, the thinner the layer of water your body is heating. If its too loose you will remain warm for awhile, but eventually your body won''t be able to keep up with the greater amount of water flowing through the suit and you''ll wind up getting cold faster. After that your height is a secondary measurement. The manufacturers realize that generally speaking your boots and gloves can overlap slightly short arms and legs, or the diver can push or roll up longer sleeves and/or arms if need be. Weight is a measurement the diver can usually ignore. It really has little to no bearing what so ever on the sizing and fit of your suit. The manufacturers do not take into account muscle being more dense than fat, so based simply on fitness levels 2 people can be the exact same size but quite different in weight. This measurement should only be used if the person is literally on the fence between 2 sizes in all categories.

About MERINO
Merino™ is exothermic, meaning that it releases a measurable amount of heat as it draws water across its fibers. It is almost as though the suit were equipped with its own heat generating source. Merino™ offers other benefits to divers as well. In addition to the added warmth created by the lining, it is more comfortable and helps to reduce odors. Merino's™ super soft
composition and incredibly fine fibers not only eliminate the itch often felt with other wools, but they actually help to reduce the rashes often experienced in high-action areas, such as under the arm and behind the knee. Additionally, because Merino™ creates very little surface friction, it allows a suit to slide on easier than any other that you've ever tried, particularly when wet. Merino's™ excellent moisture absorption properties and uneven surface structure prevent the build-up of bacteria, whereas bacteria thrive on the exposed flat surfaces of synthetics. Many odors and infections that affect divers are borne of bacteria. Merino™ protected suits tend to stay fresher smelling, especially on dive trips, when thorough washing may be infrequent. It is far more resistant to abrasion and "Velcro-attack" while also reducing the ability for soil particles to stick to your suit's lining. Merino™ dries faster than traditional wetsuit linings, so after-dive care is easier than ever.
Merino™ is the ideal wetsuit lining for so many reasons. It has been scientifically proven to be far more efficient than traditional linings; and it is softer, more comfortable, and it slides on easier than standard wetsuits. It is exothermic upon wetting, faster drying, and more hygienic than other suits. It is a wholesome renewable resource. But the real beauty of slipping into a Merino™ lined wetsuit is the beauty of nature herself.
It just feels right.

Roots music icon Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown (1924-2005) dedicates this 1984 rendition of "Pressure Cooker" thusly: "This is for all guitar players, where ever you are. This is a very easy tune to play." It may be a simple tune, but I doubt it's easy to rip it up like he does in this performance.
Check out jazz-funk pioneer Roy Ayers playing "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" live in 1992 from the Brewhouse Theatre in Taunton, a town in Somerset, England. Ayers introduces the song as a special tribute to Miles Davis, who had recently passed away.
Lionel Ferbos was a living link to New Orleans history. Born in 1911, he lived through the last century of development and change that most of us read about in books. His memory was sharp and he could remember things like they happened yesterday. I loved talking to him about growing up in the city, being a fourth generation New Orleanian myself.
Just released: the first music video by Gal Holiday and the Honky Tonk Revue for "To Make Amends" a song from their most recent album Last To Leave. It was filmed live, in a single, long tracking shot, at Side Show Props/Moviesets in Slidell, LA.
Here's three songs by Kermit Ruffins, Guardian of the Groove, recorded during last Jazz Fest while parked just outside his Treme Mother-in-Law Lounge in the Jam in the Van vehicle: "Treme", "Marie", and "Ooh Child". Plus as lagniappe, a short interview during which Kermit professes: "I'm a master chef, and I play music on the side."
Last Piano Night (April 28), the Jam in the Van vehicle parked outside the House of Blues and recorded a few acts before they played inside. Here's Jon Cleary doing "When You Get Back" and "Burgundy Street Boogie".
"When You Get Back"
Check out this moody "behind the scenes music video" from New Orleans singer-song writer Krisin Diable. "I Know a Man" from the album Kristin Diable & The City was filmed inside the historic Upper Pontalba building on Jackson Square.

Tailback Hiawatha Rutland rushed for a career-high 122 yards on 20 carries with a score; QB Seneca Wallace threw for 234 yards, and the Iowa State defense held Kansas to 150 total yards in a 45-3 Cyclone victory over the Jayhawks. The 150 yards allowed by the ISU defense was the best Cyclone defensive performance against a conference foe since 1979.
Three interceptions led to Cyclone touchdowns and ISU's six rushing TDs were the most by an ISU offense against a league opponent since 1977. Iowa State led 3-0 when LB Jeremy Loyd picked off a Zach Dyer pass at the KU 27-yard line. Lane Danielsen scored on a 9-yard reverse four plays later. Rutland scored on a 7-yard run, while TB Michael Wagner scored on runs of one and six yards. Redshirt freshman Brian Thompson made his debut, rushing for 92 yards on 14 carries and two TDs, all in the fourth quarter.
Ellis Hobbs and Nick Linder each made their second career interceptions. LB Brandon Brown paced Iowa State with 11 tackles (seven solo) and one sack.

Busy Robots, Experienced Surgeons:
Robotic Prostatectomy at Hartford Hospital
Joseph Wagner, MD
Hartford Hospital is one of only eight medical centers in the country to have three robots and is in the top 10 in volume of cases. Hartford Hospital surgeons in a variety of disciplines are global leaders in using robotics to provide the very finest surgical care.
Joseph "Peppie" Wagner, MD
, recognized early on the vast potential of robotic surgery. In 2001, this urologic oncology specialist was the second surgeon in the country to perform a robotic radical prostatectomy, or surgical removal of the prostate. Since then, he has performed over 1,000 such procedures. Today he directs Hartford Hospital's Robotic Surgery Program, which has grown exponentially since he came to Hartford in late 2003.
Often referred to as a "robot," the
da Vinci® Sugical System
is actually a sophisticated surgical tool. The robotic instruments and camera are inserted in the patient through tiny puncture holes. The surgeon operates the device from a console while viewing a magnified, three-dimensional image of the surgical field on a high-definition screen. As the surgeon manipulates the master controls at the console, the small, flexible robotic "hands" at the surgical site replicate his or her movements, performing surgical motions with unparalleled precision.
"The robotic system takes laparoscopic surgery to a new level," says Dr. Wagner, who is a member of
Hartford HealthCare Medical Group
. "The robot's camera gives you a 3-D image with depth perception you don't get in standard laparoscopy. And because the instruments have wrists, they can do all the rotations and maneuvers your hand can do, but in a smaller space." Because the surgeon can see better and operate more precisely, and because the flexible robotic "hands" can bend around internal structures that straight laparoscopic instruments can't, robotics is allowing more and more procedures to be done minimally invasively, and with excellent results.

Prostatectomy is one of the procedures for which the robot is used most frequently. The operation requires just five tiny abdominal openings, rather than the large incision of just a few years ago. In the hands of these Hartford Hospital physicians, the results in terms of potency, continence and complete removal of cancer are superior to open surgery.
Hartford Hospital urologists are recognized leaders in this field, and have a level of experience few can match. Hartford Hospital surgeons perform hundreds of robotic surgical procedures every year.

WHEELING - After battling back to tie the score at 48-48, invading Parkersburg opened the fourth quarter with a 6-0 run to take the lead for keeps on the way to defeating Wheeling Park 54-48 and spoil the Patriots' home opener Saturday night.
Dru Aldridge's nice move to his left for a soft turnaround dropped through the cords to break the deadlock. The Big Reds then got a steal and drive to the rim by Trevor Britton and two foul shots from Andrew Bayer with 5:54 remaining to extend the lead to 54-48.
Park went nearly seven minutes without a field goal in the fourth quarter before Trenton Smith's triple from the top of key closed the gap to 59-54 with 1:35 remaining. Parkersburg, after going to the foul line only two times without hitting any during the first three quarters, cashed 10 of 14 free throws down the stretch to put the game away.

''I thought the strength of our team coming into the season would be defense and guarding," said Big Reds' Coach Jeff Mennillo, a former Wheeling Central athlete who enjoyed a pleasant homecoming.
''If you had told me that we were going to have 32 points at halftime, I would have been surprised. While I was thrilled with our offensive total, I reminded our kids that we had to guard better to win this game.''
The Big Reds got most of their production from guards Britton and Aldridge with 22 and 19 points, respectively.
Wheeling Park's Luke Saseen, the only returning starter on the floor for either team, got off to a good start with 10 of his team-high 17points in the opening quarter as the Patriots led by nine points following a triple by Smith and Saseen's runner. However, Parkersburg closed to within 20-15 by end of the quarter as Aldridge scored on a leaner and Britton went coast to coast for a layup after stealing the ball at the other end.
Seven points from Aldridge in the second quarter enabled the Big Reds to take the lead for the first time at 26-25 on Braeden Cabbill's layup. But Michael Thomas drained a 3 and Andrew Kowalo scored after a steal to send the Patriots back on top.
Britton then tied the game at 32-32 with another triple before Saseen's power move to the basket and Thomas' back cut for an easy two points regained the lead for Park at 36-32 heading into the break.
The score changed hands four times during the third quarter before the aggressive Thomas again picked one of the Big Red guard's pocket for another layup. Parkersburg's Cabbill countered with his put back for the 48-48 stalemate.
''It was a tie game going into the fourth and they made a few more plays than we did," Wheeling Park coach Michael Jebbia said.. ''They set the tone by scoring the first six points to put us in the hole.
''We struggled a little bit shooting the ball. It's going to take some time before our offense comes around. We have a lot of guys playing extended varsity minutes for the first time."
The Patriots shot 50 percent from the floor in the first half but made only six attempts during the second half, finishing 19 of 48. Senior guard Quashad Pugh never got untracked as he was 1 of 15 shooting, including 0-for-8 from behind the arc..
''When we struggle offensively, we have to string some stops together," Jebbia added.''We couldn't make anything and Britton and Aldridge really hurt us."
Rebounding was another problem for the smaller Patriots as the visitors racked up a 41-28 advantage despite 12 rebounds by senior Kowalo.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) - A military family from Quantico, Va. died Tuesday night after a fiery collision, confirmed Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler.
The accident took place on Interstate 85 near Gaffney in South Carolina at 8:12 p.m. on Tuesday when 20-year-old Angelica Smith was driving a Nissan truck north on I-85. She lost control of the vehicle, crossed the median entering the southbound lanes and hit a tractor trailer head on.
The truck burst into flames trapping her husband, 22-year-old United States Marine Corporal Luther Stephen Smith, IV, and their 6-month-old son, Preston Smith in the vehicle.
"The vehicles burst into flames on impact trapping all inside the inferno," Fowler said. "The driver and passenger of the tractor-trailer were able to get out of the truck uninjured with the help of passing motorists."
Autopsies performed Wednesday afternoon showed that all three died as the result of multiple blunt force body trauma prior to the fire. The family was headed back to Virginia after visiting relatives in Alabama.
Authorities had to rely on military dental records to identify the bodies due to the fire.
"There were some military documents that were in a partially burned back pack in the bed of the truck and others that were located on the ground at the scene that lead us to Quantico," Fowler said. "My prayers are with their family and the entire military that has lost a soldier."
The South Carolina Highway Patrol and the coroner's office continue investigating the accident.

News: Softball Closes Improved 2013 Season On High Note
The Pasadena City College women's softball team finished the 2013 season in style as the Lancers mercied Los Angeles Harbor, 10-0, in the South Coast Conference finale for both teams. It was the 11th time this season that the Lancers defeated an opponent in a game called early due to the 8-run rule.
Second-year head coach Brittany Williams improved the team's won-loss record from a year ago by six victories as the Lancers closed out the year at 15-25 overall and 7-14 in conference games. PCC finished in sixth place in the 8-team conference.
In the finale played at Robinson Park, the Lancers honored graduating sophomores in first baseman Natalie Ficocelli and outfielder Ashley Shaneberger in a pre-game ceremony.
Against Harbor, the Lancers put up six runs in the first inning to put the game away. Winning pitcher Cierra Newton tossed a 4-hit, 5-inning shutout and was perfect at the plate at 3-for-3 with a double and three RBI. Battery mate and catcher Allison Lacey was 2-for-3 also with three RBI. Third baseman Audrey Serna batted 2-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored. Leftfielder Jazmin Hernandez was 1-for-1 with two walks and two runs. Pinch hitter Porchia Jackson added a single.
In the second inning, Ficocelli was robbed of an extra-base hit on a running catch to the center-field fence by Harbor outfielder Precious Oliver. In her final Lancers' at-bat, the left-handed hitting Ficocelli again had a hit taken away when Harbor pitcher Erika Williams knocked down her liner up the middle and made the ensuing putout throw to first base.
Over the 40-game season, Serna was the team's batting leader with a .408 average and a Lancers' best .492 on-base percentage. Shortstop Katelyn Thordarson led PCC in at bats (120), runs scored (38), hits (47), triples (3), RBI (29), slugging percentage (.542), and fielding assists (78). Hernandez was the team leader doubles (7), in walks (19) and stolen bases (11). Serna, Hernandez and designated player/first baseman Sara Quintero tied for PCC's lead in home runs with two each. Ficocelli led the team in defensive putotuts (140) and fielding percentage (.986).
In the pitching circle, Newton led the team in wins (8), innings pitched (136.1), complete games (18) and tied Melissa Izumida in shutouts thrown with three each. Izumida, (7-8 record) who was lost early in conference play, led the team in ERA (3.70) and strikeouts (92 in 89 innings).
"We thought we could reach 20 wins with our talent, but we still made great strides to improve this season," Williams said. "We hit .306 as a team and that says a lot about our batters. We had five different regulars hit .325 or better. The big thing is that we did all of this with only a few sophomores. We may end up returning most of our starting lineup in 2014."

The Coast Guard has reopened the Mississippi River to vessel traffic in both directions after finishing the cleanup of thousands of gallons of oil from a leaking barge.
Officials said in a news release Saturday that the safety zone has been reduced to one mile on either side of the two barges that collided with a railroad bridge near Vicksburg last Sunday, causing a leak from one barge. Vessels are not permitted to pass or overtake other vessels within the zone.
The news release said the light crude oil was "effectively removed" to allow for a damage assessment, temporary repairs and transit of the barges to a maritime facility. More than 250,000 gallons of a mixture of oil and water was removed
The Coast Guard said its investigation of the incident is continuing.

At my request, my lead artist and I tried to brighten the entire fort up - make it healthier and use newer wood and brighten the contrast. However, we'd done a LOT of that type of work prior to getting to this point, and the problems have a lot to do with the dirt tile everything rests on. For a brown dirt, and then a darker richer "wall" edging, the ground floor of the buildings has to be light again for contrast... and now the dirt and interior floors look too similar. We'll be doing a lot of testing, but here's our "second-phase" attempt at fixing this.
Do you guys think its better or worse? I specifically didn't like the rotting texture for the keep interior.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - There isn't a thing in this world Shawn Dyer wouldn't do in order to be a part of the West Liberty men's basketball program. His talent level suggests he could not only be a starter, but a star on a team that is preparing to play in an NCAA Division II national semifinal today at noon inside Freedom Hall against Metro State.
The thing about Dyer though, is the 6-foot sophomore from Marion, Ohio, doesn't care about anything but winning.
"I think we just really want to go to Atlanta and see what we can do from there (in the national championship). That's the only goal," Dyer said after Friday morning's workout. "All 15 guys, the goal is to start. But you've got to accept the roles you're given.
Article Photos
West Liberty's Cedric Harris (32) shoots a layup during the NCAA Division II Tournament in Louisville. WLU plays Metro State in the semifinals at noon today.
"I feel like anyone can start, anyone can score. I just want to do my best and show what I can do, even if I am not starting."
It didn't take Coach Jim Crutchfield long to figure out he had a winner in Dyer, who averages 11.2 points in 22 minutes for a team that just set a school record with its 34th victory of the season. When Dyer was a redshirt freshman, he wasn't permitted to travel with the team according to NCAA rules, but could sit on the bench if he could find a way to the games.
"He never missed a game,'' Crutchfield recalled.
That included the Hilltoppers' run to the Final Four in Springfield, Mass., when he hopped on a charter bus.
"Someone provided a bus for the school and there were some fans and cheerleaders, and I was desperate to go," Dyer said with a grin. "I wanted to see the experience and see what it was like."
It wasn't surprising for Crutchfield to see Dyer show up, not after what he had already witnessed throughout the season.
"He rode with other families. He babysat Coach Bovaird's kids so he could ride with Eric's wife,'' Crutchfield said. "I still remember pulling in at Glenville and the door opened and there were about five West Lib girls and Shawn came out in the middle of them.
"He said 'I found a ride.' He always found a way to the game and I wouldn't even know. We would get ready to start the game and all of a sudden I would look down at the end of the bench and there would be Shawn."
Does that scream out team player to anyone else?
Crutchfield believes big things are on the horizon for the lefty-shooting guard who is the active D-II leader in 3-point percentage, yet rarely gets mentioned when the conversation turns to the Hilltoppers' arsenal. The coach expects Dyer will turn into not only an all-conference player, but an All-American.
"You're looking at a guy who has never been in the starting lineup but he's a sophomore who is well on his way to scoring 1,000 points," the coach said. "He's been here two years as a role player off the bench and has scored 600-700 points.
"I think Shawn's game has gotten better and better as this year has gone along. As that's happened he's played more."
Crutchfield refers to Dyer as the team's "silent assassin." That's pretty fitting considering his demeanor never seems to change.
The Hilltoppers have their eyes on the prize and guys like Dyer are quick to remind everyone the club is here for business, not to have a good time. Oh, there will be time to enjoy this ride, but it's not going to be while it is still in progress.
"Most of these guys have been here before and I have been here, so I think they're soaking it in,'' Dyer said. "We had a lot of fun with Churchill Downs and that kind of stuff, but when it's time to play the game we're focused.
"I really think we can win it all."

The X Factor
Is The X Factor New Tonight, November 8, 2012?
OMG you guys. Not only is The X Factor indeed brand-spankin-new tonight — it also comes with one HUGE bonus!
What's that? ONE DIRECTION!!! (Insert appropriate fangirling here.) The only thing that could make our tears (in heaven) over another emotional elimination dry up like they never even happened, is the biggest band in the whole world (sorry KISS/everyone else).
The boys from across the pond will be appearing on the first Live Results show, which airs TONIGHT on FOX at 8PM ET/PT. They're going to be performing "Live While We're Young" and "Little Things," and we are already fuhreaking out. (Sidebar: The thought of watching Demi Lovato watching Niall Horan and Co. is enough to make us giddy with voyeuristic anticipation.)
We can hardly stand the idea that our favorite act might be ixnayed from the competition. But it is a competition, and it's exciting and it's magical, and it's full of back-up dancers and ridiculous costumes. And that's what makes it beautiful.
Want more X Factor goodness? Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter!


text: So after elk hunting many years I finally bought my first decoy for the 2011 season, and let's just say that I had some of the best and worst instances while trying to implement this new, for me, tactic. On opening day of the archery season I got to within 70 yards of some elk that were coming from the timber into the open field that I was in, and proceeded to set up my decoy. Some cows came out first, and then the lead cow saw the decoy and proceeded to do a 180 and go right back into the timber taking the rest of the elk with her. I then was able to glass this patch of timber from a vantage point after the elk had left and saw a huge 7x7 in tow with the cows that I had just seen at 68 yards. I think that I might have been a little over zealous with my untimely deployment of the decoy, due to the rut not being in full swing yet. Then 3 weeks later I had an amazing encounter with a 350+ bull using the same decoy. The decoy that I am using is the Elk Mountain Gear decoy, and you can read the full account of the second encounter on their website here, http://elkmtngear.com/reviews. So I am wondering what decoy's some of you out there use, and what tactics you use successfully each year.

For the sixth year in a row, Hamilton County's budget will be getting some cuts. The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners today approved $14.4 million in across-the-board cuts in a 2-1 vote, with Democrat Todd Portune voting no and Republicans Greg Hartmann and Chris Monzel voting yes.
The budget's cuts will affect every county department, but they will not raise taxes. The plan will likely result in layoffs, according to the county budget office. The sheriff's office is the least affected by cuts.
With a few revisions and tweaks, the plan is basically what Board President Hartmann originally proposed. Previously, Hartmann touted the budget plan by praising its "austerity" — a word that has lost popularity in Europe as budget cuts and tax hikes have thrown the continent into a double-dip recession.
Portune suggested an alternative plan that made fewer cuts and instead borrowed money against delinquent taxes.
By law, the county is required to balance its budget.
A vote on the 2013 Hamilton County budget is being delayed a week at the request of the sole Democrat on the Board of County Commissioners.
Commissioner Todd Portune asked Board President Greg Hartmann at a Monday staff meeting to push back the vote a week to address funding to juvenile courts and the county's plan for future financial stability.
Hartmann, who earlier denied Portune's request to issue securities to raise millions to balance the budget, agreed. He said it was important that all three commissioners agree on the budget.
Portune told reporters he wanted to see more funding for juvenile courts. The proposed budget would cut about $3 million from the juvenile court's 2012 appropriation.
He said he also wants to see specific plans on how and where the county will invest in economic development. He and Hartmann disagree about whether that kind of planning belongs in a budget.
Hartmann had the proposal developed after commissioners rejected three plans from County Administrator Christian Sigman, two of which would have raised taxes. The $192 million budget under consideration cuts about $14 million from the 2012 appropriation levels without raising taxes.
The proposed budget makes a number of what Hartman calls "modest cuts" in almost every county department.
All three commissioners have stated that public safety funding is a priority. The Sheriff's Department would see a small reduction of $27,033, bringing its budget to almost $57.5 million.
However, the department would also face an additional $4.3 million in expenses next year, giving incoming Sheriff Jim Neil an effectively reduced budget.
The Emergency Management Agency would get a nearly 40 percent increase in the proposed budget, up to $400,000.
The Board of Elections would see its budget slashed 36.2 percent to $6.9 million. However, its expenses would also be lower in 2013 because there is no presidential election as there was in 2012.
The proposed budget would bring the Department of Job and Family Services' appropriation to $832,900 — a reduction of $10,360. However, that funding level is dictated by the State of Ohio and not the county.
The Hamilton County Prosecutor would also see a small increase of $37,597 intended to hold level its funding from 2012, as the department went over-budget. The prosecutor has the ability to sue the county over its budget appropriation, so the department typically maintains level funding.

After a year of campaigns, the race between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney is almost over. All eyes are on Ohio to decide the presidential election. In aggregate polling, Obama leads Romney by 2.9 points in Ohio and 0.7 points nationally. FiveThirtyEight, The New York Times' electoral forecast model, gives Obama a 91.4 percent chance to win Ohio and a 91.6 percent chance to win the election. The New York Times also has an interactive flowchart to gauge both Obama's and Romney's paths to victory.
In the U.S. Senate race, Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown leads Republican challenger Josh Mandel by 5 points in aggregate polling. CityBeat covered the policy and campaign differences between the two candidates in coverage of the first, second and third debate and a cover story.
Gov. John Kasich has taken a noticeable shift to the center and considered less divisive ideas in recent months, and some of that might be to help Romney's electoral chances in Ohio. In the past two years, Kasich went from supporting SB 5, which would have limited collective bargaining for public employees, to focusing almost entirely on jobs.

Hamilton County Commission President Greg Hartmann, a Republican, laid out his budget plan yesterday. Hartmann touted "austerity" as a prominent theme in the budget. Austerity measures actually led Europe into a second recession, according to prominent economist Robert Reich. This matches the opinion of other economists, such as Nobel-winning Paul Krugman, who argue governments should try to make up for shortfalls in the private sector through increased spending during recessions. Recently, the International Monetary Fund admitted it underestimated the bad economic impact of austerity measures. Still, Hamilton County is required to balance its budget, so the commissioners don't have many options. Todd Portune, the lone Democratic commissioner, says he will unveil his plan later.
The new Jungle Jim's at Eastgate is having a large, positive impact on its neighbors. The exotic grocery store has apparently brought a lot of new paying customers to the area.
Cincinnati's Oakley neighborhood might soon put its traffic problems in the past. City Council is expected to vote on a plan Wednesday that would block three streets in the neighborhood. Residents have complained traffic is out of control because of development at the Rookwood Exchange in Norwood, and traffic could get worse due to the holiday shopping season.
Workers injured during the construction of Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino are looking for a way around workers comp rules. The exemption-seeking lawsuit filed by four workers against 13 defendants is typical in Ohio law, which generally prevents workers from suing employers over workplace injuries since Ohio's compensation rules provide ways to obtain missing wages and other potential damages.

The Republican head of Hamilton County's governing board outlined his own alternative for a 2013 budget on Monday, proposing an austere path forward after rejecting other budgets that would raise some taxes.
Board of County Commissioners President Greg Hartmann said his proposed budget would reduce the size of county government by 30 percent, compared to five years ago. He said he wants the board to approve a budget before the Thanksgiving holiday.
"It is a budget of austerity and investment in growth," Hartmann said.
He added, "It is a structurally-balanced budget," that doesn't use one-time sources of cash to make up for shortfalls.
Hartmann's proposed budget would cut the Sheriff's Department by about $57,000 or 0.01 percent from 2012 levels; reduce the coroner's appropriation by 3 percent or $99,000; cut economic development by 5 percent; cut 5 percent from adult criminal courts; and reduce subsidies to the Communications Center and Sheriff's Department.
Hartmann stressed that it is important to fund public safety as fully as allowable in these tough economic times, as economic development is not possible without it.
Hartmann's budget comes after commissioners rejected three proposals from County Administrator Christian Sigman.
Sigman proposed $18.7 million in cuts, which Hartmann's budget maintained in addition to his own reductions.
Two of Sigman's proposals involved increasing the sales tax to balance the budget.
Fellow Republican Commissioner Chris Monzel said he supports Hartmann's efforts at austerity, but is working on his own budget proposal as well.
"An austerity budget is the way we're going to go, and it's going to be hard," he said.
The board's sole Democrat, Todd Portune, said he too is working on his own proposal that he had hoped to have prepared for the Nov. 5 meeting, but was still making tweaks and hoped to present it by the following week.
He hinted that the results of Election Day might impact how he crafts his budget proposal.
"Tomorrow's results may have an impact as well on the budget that I present as it relates as well to those who are running for county seats," Portune said. "We have in some cases two very different visions in terms of solutions."
Both he and Hartmann are up for re-election. Portune is running against Libertarian Bob Frey. Neither candidate has a major party challenger.
Hartmann, who has actively campaigned for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, had a joke in response to Portune's waiting for the election results.
"I thought you were predicting Romney's win would make the economy go on the right track," Hartmann cracked. "I was thinking that's what you were going to go with."

Hamilton County commissioners agree on not raising the sales tax. That effectively rules out two of three plans laid out by the county administrator. The one plan left would not cut public safety, but it would make cuts to the courts, criminal justice system, administrative departments, commissioner departments and the board of elections.It seems other news outlets are now scrutinizing online schools.

Mayor Mark Mallory was not happy with Hamilton County Commission President Greg Hartmann's Tuesday letter criticizing him for failing to follow through with a city-county shared services plan. Mallory fired back today in his own letter, criticizing Hartmann for going to the media first and explaining why he no longer supports the City County Shared Services Committee.
"We have had a strong working relationship since you have become Commission President," Mallory wrote. "So, I was surprised and disappointed that you sent the letter to the media instead of sharing your concerns with me directly; after all, you have my cell phone number."
Mallory went on to point out that Hartmann is the fourth commission president he has worked with, and the previous three "never would have handled City/County relations in such a confrontational manner."
The mayor also clarified why he no longer supports the City County Shared Services Committee, which was meant to consolidate county and city services to end redundancies and improve efficiency and competitiveness.
"As the scope of the proposed committee's work was developed, it became clear to me that not only were we already collaborating at a high level, but that several new collaborations proposed by the City had met resistance from the County," Mallory wrote. "I began to question the need for a committee to conduct a $400,000 study of future collaboration if there were already potential new collaborations sitting on the shelf."
Mallory also said he "will never give away the ability of the citizens of Cincinnati to control crucial City functions." He cited the examples of prosecutors and health clinics, which Mallory implied could have been given off to the county if the committee pushed through its recommendations.
The mayor also pointed out that even if the city and county approved the committee and its recommendations, Hamilton County would still have serious budget problems: "You and I both know that the recommendations of the Shared Services Committee would never have resulted in close to enough savings to close the County's budget deficit, and to pretend otherwise is disingenuous." In other words, stop shifting the blame.
The rest of Mallory's letter went on to point out Cincinnati and Hamilton County collaborate on a regular basis to "improve services, create efficiencies, and save money." The mayor pointed to many programs for examples of the city and county working together: the Banks development, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Metropolitan Sewer District, emergency operations, the Port Authority, a $1.9 million city-county contract that has the county manage Cincinnati's Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program Consortium.
Mallory also claimed there have been cases in which the county declined to collaborate with the city, citing the Indigent Care Levy. The county's consultant recommended Hamilton County give some of that levy to provide county residents access to primary care at the City Health Center System, but the county declined the potential partnership.
Mallory then said he was willing to work on collaboration with purchasing, fire hydrant maintenance and economic development — three areas Hartmann cited in his own letter to Mallory.
The letter finished with a call to end the politics of the back-and-forth: "I feel very strongly that it is time to take the politics out and leave the matter to the public sector professionals. The City Manager is ready to meet with the County Administrator to discuss any proposed partnership that would improve the lives of our citizens by improving service, increasing efficiency, or saving money."
In his letter, Hartmann criticized Mallory for not keeping his promise to back the city-county committee, citing a previous letter from Mallory to the Ohio Department of Development that promised $100,000 for the new committee.
The Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners yesterday voted to keep senior and mental health levies flat. As a result, senior and mental health services will lose funding. Commissioner Todd Portune, the Board's sole Democrat, offered an alternative measure that would have raised funding to levels providers requested, before voting with the two Republicans. Portune's measure would have increased property taxes by $5 for every $100,000 of property worth.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine released a new report detailing human trafficking in Ohio. The report found one-third of trafficking victims got involved in trafficking as minors.

Forty percent of trafficking victims in Cincinnati reported being raped.

However, the average mortgage debt for individual borrowers went up in the second largest jump in the country. The average Ohio mortgage debt holder now owes $131,701, up from $126,503.
The number of swine flu cases in Butler County is still going up.Ohio school levies apparently struggled in the special Aug. 7 election.
The U.S. trade deficit is at its lowest in 18 months.
Apparently, the Olympic Village is a giant orgy.A new study is linking eyes to sexual orientation.
The dispute stems from a plot of land that, through some legal wrangling and a Joint Economic Development Agreement, Harrison Township officials say can only be used for industrial purposes that create jobs.
The Southwest Ohio Assembly Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses wants to build a massive assembly hall that they say would be a draw to the 28,000 Jehovah's Witnesses in the region and create jobs in surrounding service sector businesses.
The Hamilton County Rural Zoning Commission denied permission to the Jehovah's Witnesses, citing fear over the impact to local businesses and traffic, causing the religious group to appeal the decision to the Board of County Commissioners.
Board President Greg Hartmann said commissioners would set a date in the coming weeks to arrive at a decision.
Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes lawyer Chris Finney represented the Witnesses before the board.
Finney argued that the Zoning Commission was wrong to deny permission to build the assembly hall. He pointed to the positive economic impact such halls have had in other states and brought witnesses to testify about the potential impact it could have on Cincinnati.
According to a slide show presented before the board, the hall could result in $1.19 million in annual tax revenue and create 421 jobs in the service industry surrounding the site.
Being a religious institution, the hall would be tax-exempt and would be staffed by volunteers.
Harrison Township officials argued that the area was created under a special agreement that requires industrial use and that any businesses located there create jobs and enhance economic development.
Mayor Joel McGuire said the township had offered up other locations for the assembly hall, but the Witnesses were fixated on the one.
"That's why we're in the all-or-nothing situation we're in because they insist on this particular spot as opposed to the many other locations where there'd be no problems at all," McGuire said.
Faced with the choice of raising property taxes or funding senior and mental health services at their current levels, the Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners voted on Wednesday to approve a ballot measure that would effectively cut tens of millions of dollars from those services if passed by voters.
"It seems wrongheaded for us to ask citizens to pay more in taxes when their homes are worth less, when costs have gone up in their households and when in many cases their paychecks are down," said Board President Greg Hartmann. "So we need to hold the line on those property taxes."
The tax rate would be held at the levels passed by voters in 2008, which would be an effective reduction due to declining property values. If Hamilton County voters approve the levies in November, senior services would see a $7 million reduction in funding over the next five years — down to $97 million from $104 million — while funding for mental health services would fall $17 million from $187 million to $170 million, Hartmann said.
The money funds services such as meals on wheels, in-home care for seniors, counseling and drug and alcohol addiction and treatment services.
The board's sole Democrat — Commissioner Todd Portune — made the symbolic gesture of submitting an alternate proposal which would have funded services at the levels providers had requested, but it failed without support from either of the board's two Republican members.
Portune's resolution would have increased property taxes by $5 for every $100,000 the property was worth. He said voters should be given the option to shoulder the additional tax burden. He later voted in favor of Hartmann's resolution, saying the worst thing that could happen would be for voters to approve no levy.
Commissioners also approved a resolution to formally review all healthcare services provided by the county in hopes of saving money by eliminating any that were duplicated at the federal level under the healthcare overhaul.
Hartmann said he didn't come to the decision to keep the levies at the current rate lightly and pledged to work with the recipients to manage the reduction.
Many of those providers appeared at three public hearings held in the last month and with near unanimity asked commissioners to approve the increased rates — which would have kept funding even by countering the money lost from decreased property values.
Patrick Tribbe, president and CEO of the Hamilton County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, didn't outline specific cuts the agency would undertake, but told reporters after the commissioners' vote that he would spend the next six months planning for the start of the next fiscal year, when the cuts would take effect.
The Tax Levy Review Committee had recommended that the property tax rate remain flat instead of increasing. It suggested that service providers reduce their administrative costs and find areas to increase efficiency.
Many of the providers who spoke at the public hearings said they had already cut administrative costs about as deeply as they could and had very little room for to cut further.

I just thought that the communtiy "might" appreciate a viewpoint of a new user installing V6 as of (Aug 2010) on Debian X64, There were some pretty big hiccups and I wanted to share them here to insure that someone can shed some light on them or take the time to review the installation process to solve these issues
1. When installing on Debian X64 there is nothing to warn you about the required packages for the new stats syslogd does not satisfy all of the requirements, there is another package required for the newer flash graphs rsyslog instead of syslogd
2. When setting up a SSL certificate from inside the admin GUI the process does NOT complete with success, also there is nothing in the admin gui telling you what type of certificate to use. eg: apacheSSL, openssl, etc...
3. Public service hostname for domain does not really "explain" what it's used for. This may be a noob concern but there is enough explanation through the rest of the GUI that I feel this was missed. Documents, calendars and anything else shared must be able to access zimbra contect from that link. there should be a note here about this. I never knew what it was for until there was an error, this could be fixed easily
4. Location of the "accept share" in the mails generated when you share and item with someone do not stand out enough, there should be something in the body of the message instead of the top of the message border...
5. There is no area for setting up email authentication like domain keys, DKIM. I know this is more of an ADMIN thing, but seriously anyone of metal knows you must have easy support for this as it's widely used, and a critical part of reliable email service.
6. The headers from zimbra messages are NOT very clear, on my setup (which may be wrong I admit) I see localhost just about everywhere. These messages are actually getting bounced as well because appearantly they do NOT conform to RFC standards. In addittion to that I am also told that our mailing IP is blacklisted because of "backscatter" which is being generated from zimbra. I would really like to address that! but where? could there be a place to edit these settings or even failure messages themselves?
7. The setup process is straight forward over command line and generates very little confusion. I see no need to mess with any of that.
8. I would like to see something in here that gives you the ability to manage timeouts and mail flow it's too automated with no real room for customization.

Look out for those 'Suburban moms'
1 2 3 Next page >
For years my sensitivities have rankled by the editorial boards of the local daily newspapers because they make determinations about school governance and education without the slightest knowledge of what they are writing about.
Why do they do that? Because they can, and because one does not become a member of an editorial board by teaching in a classroom for 25 years. No, one becomes a member of an editorial board because he or she has been a pundit — a writer of columns and a general know-it-all.
Also, newspapers tend to be owned by millionaires and those millionaires will always dictate an editorial policy that looks the other way when public employees are concerned, and teachers are public employees, after all.
Arne Duncan, the federal commissioner of education, blamed the controversy over the Common Core rollout on "white suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child's isn't as brilliant as they thought they were and their school isn't quite as good as they thought they were, and that's pretty scary."
Duncan should have been excoriated for that comment, but instead, Newsday wrote in its editorial the next day, "Arne Duncan didn't say it correctly, but what he said is correct, an nowhere is it truer than Long Island."
Talk about being out of touch with its readers.
Another daily newspaper, this one in New York City, likened those complaining about the Common Core rollout to the Tea Party activists who recently closed down the government to make the point that they could.
Last month, more than a thousand parents and teachers — many of them both parents and teachers — crowded several high school auditoriums in both Nassau and Suffolk to tell state commissioner John King and Chancellor Meryl Tisch just what they thought of the way that the new standards and testing program have been rolled out and to complain about the aggregation of information about their children is being cavalierly placed into a cloud run by a group of non-profits with an agenda to privatize education and, they believe, to provide that information to businesses who will then use the sale of that information to enhance their own bottom lines.

Out of all the TUK HK creepers, (& I do own them all!!), I wear these the most bcuz they go with everything! (If you wear mostly punk/rock/black clothes!)
So Cute <3
I love these shoes they are so cute! They are a little bit stiff but Im hoping this will change with use. So glad they had my size I kept checking site because they had run out of size nines. Yay! Love love love!!!
Cute, but weighs a ton!
The shoes fit true to size and are super cute, but they are HEAVY! Wish the description had included the weight. I would have thought twice before buying them.
THEY DO NOT RUN SMALL! I wear a size 8 normally....ordered a size 8 for these shoes and they fit perfectly....I love them and sport them alot! As far as comfyness they take a bit of getting used to, other than that as long as you tie the laces tight they are a perfect fit.
super cute and stylish.I love it!!!
Very Stylish
Really cute and stylish shoes. Just keep in mind they run a little small. I typically wear a 5-1/2 and thought I might have to wear an additional pair of socks. However, the 6 fits perfectly. I'm looking forward to seeing how they hold up. Right now they are pretty stiff so they'll either break in really nicely, or crack.

MSD True Street Nationals - The Hard WayWritten on December 13, 2006 They get driven on the street and they get beaten on the track, but however you slice it, True Street cars live a tough life.
Hot rodding is a lot like life: you pretty much get out of it what you put into it. Go to any event and check out the car show to see what I mean. In no time flat, you'll be drowning in a sea of highly polished restos with Cabbage Patch Kids Velcro'd to their grilles-none of which could lay down rubber before incurring coronary blockage in its owner. For the rest of us who prefer to enjoy the hobby while awake, drag racing is the preferred venue. But drag racing can take its toll in the payment of lost "utility" for its owner. To some of us, it's hardly fun drag racing if it means taking your pride and joy off the street. Building a dedicated race car can have certain rewards, but this by nature excludes such high jinks as toying with fart-pipe Hondas at the stoplight on your way to the Frampton concert; or lighting your plant in a crowded parking lot and hearing car alarms go off; or yanking Third and sucking the weather stripping out of a Porsche turbo.
Having a car that's capable of mundane street duty and straight-line track work is the only answer, and it's the reason why I created the True Street class 13 years ago. The problem with such dual-use cars was that at the track, they got much less respect than they deserved. A guy with a gutted Camaro and a 13:1 big-block running a 'glide and 31-inch slicks is going to make short work of an 11-second 5-liter Mustang that made the trip to the track on its own power. That Super Pro Camaro wouldn't get 100 yards down a real road-even if it were legal for the street. It was time for someone to come in and level the playing field, so True Street was born.
For the uninitiated, the MSD True Street class is open to any street-legal, registered, insured car. There are a few rules prohibiting racecars from competing (no full tube chassis and carbon fiber bodies for instance), and even 13 years later, the class remains remarkably pure. All cars must drive a 30-mile escorted route without breaking down, then make three full-out back-to-back drag strip passes without puking. And during all of that, to keep it street legit, none of the cars can pop the hood for tuning. When it's all over, we average the runs, and rank them from quickest to slowest. The guy with the quickest average is crowned the King of True Street, while guys in the middle of the pack can also take home cheddar with awards going to the cars closest to (but not quicker than) 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0 and 15.0 average ET. Interested? The full set of MSD True Street rules is available online at the National Muscle Car Association's Web site, www.fastesttreetcar.com.
So here we are in Atlanta for the 5th Annual Nitto NMCA Hot Rod & Muscle Car Nationals. The Atlanta area is known for its hardcore street element, and a stout contingent was indeed on hand to battle it out, but the winner came from Memphis, another hotbed of supra-legal street action. Frank Savage was crowned the King of Atlanta, thanks to a car that can best be described as looking like a refugee from a retirement home. Savage's '86 Caprice wowed onlookers with outrageous launches and ETs deep in the nines. Competition only came from the unlikely '39 Ford coupe of Sonny Smart, who fell well off his low 9-second pace on his last run, leaving Savage to soldier on to victory.
Nine-second street cars aside, there was lots of impressive action brewing within the ranks. Take Jim Williams' budget-oriented Starsky and Hutch '76 Gran Torino. Williams has just $14K into his disco-era Ford, but it cranks out 11-second ETs on motor with the reliability of an Osterizer. Savage's Caprice and Williams' Gran Torino weren't the only big gunboats in attendance either. Regular True Street competitor Robert Wilson of Parrish, Florida, was also in the house with his '65 Impala, which was fitted this time 'round with his back-up 327 mill (how many thousand runs are on it?) and running 15s. If there's a guy out there having more fun with less, we haven't met him. The father-and-son team of Matt (34) and Chip (62) Leetch of Buford, Georgia, might give Wilson a run for having the most fun, however. These guys run Fords and have a blast doing it. Matt's twin-turbo '93 Mustang is the faster of the two, but dad has fun with his stock '04 Mach 1-a 14-second index win (good for $100 and a set of MSD plug wires) showed the son that sometimes the tortoise does indeed win.The range of emotion also included heartbreak, which was felt by Tom Heatley Jr. and his '69 Camaro. A strong early favorite to win, Heatley experienced sudden loss of boost with the ejection of a Kevlar blower belt from his Procharged big-block on the first run. It painfully illustrates the tough boulevard-like conditions of True Street that regular drag racers just aren't exposed to: unable to open his hood to put another belt on, Heatley could only watch from the sideline as Savage's proven street combo took top honors.
After Atlanta, the season ended with the Nitto NMCA World Finals in Memphis on October 7, where William Slavely took the MSD True Street win in his Mustang with a 9.292 average. We've had a great time covering True Street in 2006, and we plan on bringing you more of the world's most legit street car class next year. See you there, and hang on for the ride!
"Williams has just $14K into his disco-era Ford, but it cranks out 11-second ETs on motor with the reliability of an Osterizer."
We first met Jim Williams on the PHR message board, where he dared us to be different and feature his 11-second '76 Ford Gran Torino. We double dared him to come out to the Atlanta MSD True Street race from his home in South Park, PA (anyone else find that ironic?), and shot it for a feature you can see elsewhere in this issue. It knocks down 11s on motor easily with a 545-inch 385-series big-block Ford. Williams was aided and abetted by his brother, Chris.
It's Good To Be King
Savage's '86 Caprice was not only the quickest car in the field in Atlanta, it was among the heaviest, with a full luxury interior. How does it manage to knock down nines? Start with a 9:1 502-inch big-block Chevy, add Dart Pro 1 heads and intake, stuff it full of boost with a Procharger F2 huffer blowing through a specially prepared Carb Shop 1150-cfm Holley 4150. A TCI-built Turbo 400 passes torque to a Moser 9-inch with 3.90 cogs and on to 10.5-inch slicks. And yes, it needs the 'chute: the two-ton B-body has run a best of 8.70/155 with an extra shot of nitrous through a ZEX plate. "It works good too on a blower application," says Savage.
Always the cool customer, Frank Savage relaxes in his trailer with crew chief Malcolm Williams before going out to lay waste to the entire Atlanta True Street field. Hey Frank, have a Coke and a smile!
Nicole Norris (18) of Greenville, SC, is a business student at Greenville Tech, and we spotted her lounging near the NMCA Pro Stock '93 Mustang of Scott Rogers and Rock Hosea. We convinced her to model for a photo shoot, but when Hosea lost in the first round, the mood soured, they folded tent, and headed for beer. Too bad-this quick snapshot of Nicole doesn't do her justice, but it'll have to hold you over.
This is Michelle Mattingly (23), the adorable spouse of NMCA B/Nostalgia Muscle Car racer, Jeramie Mattingly (Buffalo, KY). We caught Michelle posing with Jeramie's '72 Nova, which runs 10.60s via a naturally aspirated 412-inch small-block. Jeramie didn't have a snapshot of his wife in his wallet, but he did have his Lunati cam card: it's a solid roller with .640/.645 lift and 276/284 degrees of duration. Jeramie-you can cut this picture out and put it in your wallet now, 'cause it's got your cam specs on it, too.

Every MSD True Street event begins with a driver's meeting prior to the 30-mile tour. Here, technical director George Carey (in yellow shirt) gives instructions for the drive and the drag race. Carey, a True Street race regular, was featured with his '85 Corvette in our December 2005 issue, and decided to help out on the NMCA side this time around.We dug Tom Heatley Jr.'s '69 Camaro (Gleason, TN), which packs an 8:1-compression 477-inch big-block with an F1R Procharger and ACCEL Gen 7 DFI. So far, it's run a best of 9.30, but that was before his new Romar air-to-water intercooler. Heatley told PHR: "I'd like to see it go 8.40 with the new intercooler, but we have a belt issue. It's throwing belts for some reason."
Heatley poses with a belt he shredded earlier in testing. "I didn't get out 300 feet on this one." His '69 runs a Hughes Powerglide, a Moser 9-inch rear and 4.10 gears. Heatley ran a 9.86 on his first and only pass, throwing the belt before the finish line.Lending our street mayhem an air of legitimacy were Banks County Sheriff Sergeant Paul Lewallen (left) and deputy Shane Adams. They did a great job orchestrating the closure of intersections on our 30-mile drive.With the smack-talk session under his belt, Tim Campbell (McDonaugh, GA) took his '93 Mustang LX to the track, where it laid down an 11.01 three-run average. Campbell elects not to rely on power adders-instead, a 10:1 compression 351 Windsor gets its oats from a pair of old-style TFS Street Heat heads, a Victor Jr. intake, a COMP 292 solid-roller cam, and a Barry Grant 750-cfm Race Demon carb. Power goes through a Lentech AOD and the stock 8.8-inch rear with Moser axles and 3.73 gears.Terry Herbert is another MSD True Street regular and hails from Elizabethtown, KY. Since we saw him last, Herbert upgraded to a dual-stage NOS Big-Shot nitrous system. On this day, it helped his 434-inch small-block propel his '84 Monte SS to a new best ET of 9.97. Herbert's recipe: Pro Topline heads with a Victor Jr. intake, a 900-cfm Holley double-pumper, a Turbo 350 manual-valve trans and 4.56 gears loaded into a GM 12-bolt.Between the 30-mile drive and the drag race runs, there's always a little time for some smack-talk, all in good fun of course.Matt Leetch's LX uses an intercooled ITS twin turbo kit (out of production) making 15 to 16 lbs of boost into an 8.5:1 347-inch Windsor. Fuel management for the fuel-injected small-block is via a PMS computer and Pro-M "Univer" mass air meter from Anderson Ford Motorsport that drives 60 lb/hr injectors. The stock T5 trans has been tossed in favor of a Tremec TKO 600. The stock 8.8-inch rear houses highway-friendly 3.27 gears. Although Matt claims it runs fine on 93 octane, he opted to run 110 octane race fuel for this event. His best ET so far is 11.60, running the 93 juice.The father-and-son team of Chip (left) and Matt Leetch hails from Buford, GA. On matching polo shirts is embroidered "Going For Broke Racing," which hardly imparts the fun-loving spirit of this family venture. Dad drives the '04 Mach 1 in the foreground while Matt pilots the black twin-turbo '93 LX notchback.Fresh out of the build shop was Joe Kosiba's small-block '63 Nova. "I'd like to see maybe an eight out of it, but the car's brand new," quipped Kosiba. In shakedown passes, the Hoffman Estates, IL-based Chevy ran 9.65 at Union Grove, WI. The combo consists of a 406 small-block with Brodix Track 1 heads, Edelbrock Super Victor manifold, a Holley 950 HP carb, a COMP cam, and a NOS Big-Shot nitrous kit. Running gear is a Turbo 350 with a 9-inch Ford rear loaded with 3.50 gears.It's a nice change of pace to see traditional hot rods represented in True Street, and Sonny Smart stepped up with his '39 Ford. This is no fairgrounds cruiser though-it runs some serious ETs with a best of 9.20/146 under its belt, thanks to a 496-inch big-block Chevy with Dart 320 heads, a Weiand tunnel ram, two 1150 Dominators and a 175hp NOS Big-Shot nitrous hit. "This is a real-deal driven car," says Smart. "We drive it about 200 miles a week. It was originally a four-door sedan, but we made it a coupe. It's an all-steel stock-frame '39 Ford. The engine mounts are even stock."
When we last saw Robert Wilson, his '65 Impy was knocking down low 13 with help from a new 383 small-block. "It keeps eatin' the thrust bearing in the 383," muses Wilson, "but I'd really rather not badmouth the machine shop." For the Atlanta outing, Wilson's old 327 was placed back into duty, and ET dropped back into the 15s.Leading the pack out of the track for the 30-mile cruise was Phil Bonner (Lilburn, GA) in his stock 2000 Corvette. We asked him if he was related to the "real" Phil Bonner, pilot of the famous Warbucks A/FX Mustang, and he told us: "I'm related to him some how on my daddy's side."True Street is a great cross-section of hot rodding culture, and Mike Puckett (Norcross, GA) proved it by bringing out his '90 Thunderbird Super Coupe. With a best ET of 12.71/108 under its belt, Puckett's T-bird is no ordinary sled. The Eaton-supercharged 3.8L V-6 has been tweaked with a reground cam from COMP, a C&L mass air housing, a larger homemade air intake, a Magnum Powers throttle body, a 5 percent Auto Specialties overdrive blower pulley, a homemade double-row intercooler, larger 42-lb injectors and a Superchips Custom Tune by Higgins Ford Performance.

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - An unexpected shootout broke out between two of
the more offensively-challenged clubs as the Colorado Avalanche held on for a
6-5 win over the Nashville Predators at Pepsi Center.
Matt Duchene and waiver claim Aaron Palushaj both registered a goal and two
assists for the Avalanche, who snapped a nine-game losing streak to the
Shea Weber was one of five players to finish with a goal and an assist for
Nashville, which lost to Colorado for the first time since Jan. 22, 2010.
The Predators entered play last in the NHL in goals per game (1.87), while
Colorado was ranked 26th (2.31).
