OSHA investigating deaths of Iowa men in SD sewer
NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. (AP) The Occupational Safety and Health Administration continues to investigate the deaths of two Iowa men attempting to unclog a South Dakota sewer.
Two employees of Sioux City, Iowa-based Speedy Rooter were overcome by fumes while working on the sewer July 10 in North Sioux City. Fifty-four-year-old Robert Thompson died the next day, and 35-year-old Chad Elgert died last Sunday. Both men are from Sioux City.
The men's families say Thompson passed out from the fumes and Elgert had tried to rescue him.
Tom Deutscher in OSHA's Bismarck, N.D, office says the agency is looking at whether the deaths stemmed from a safety violation. The investigation could take months.
A message left Saturday for Speedy Rooter wasn't immediately returned. The office was closed for the weekend.

Rains flood Ill. interstate, endanger Iowa dam
CHICAGO (AP) Heavy rains drenched swaths of the Midwest, leaving interstates under water, residents stranded and a dam in Iowa on the verge of collapse.
In Chicago, officials say more than 7 inches of rain fell early Saturday.
Standing water closed a portion of Interstate 290 and the commuter train tracks that run along the expressway just west of Chicago's downtown.
Crews in the western suburb of Westchester were using boats to search for residents trapped in their homes.
In eastern Iowa, the National Weather Service says the Lake Delhi dam has failed and small communities downstream could be severely flooded.
Meteorologist Chris Legro says water has been detected flowing beneath the dam and a complete failure is possible.
National Weather Service confirms tornado in Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The National Weather Service has a damage assessment team in Indianola after confirming that a tornado touched down in the community.
Meteorologist John Hinsberger says the weather service verified that the tornado touched down about 8 p.m. Friday. No injuries were reported. The amount of damage was not immediately clear.
Reports show incumbents hold fundraising edge
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Iowa's incumbent members of Congress have built a huge financial edge over challengers that should give them a big advantage heading into this fall's general election.
University of Iowa political science professor Bruce Gronbeck says incumbents usually raise more money than challengers, and it's one reason they typically win re-election.
In central Iowa's 3rd District, financial disclosures show Democratic U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell has more than $700,000 in reserves. His Republican challenger, state Sen. Brad Zaun, has about $100,000 in reserves, but nearly $48,000 in debt.
In western Iowa's 5th District, Republican Rep. Steve King reports more than $300,000 in reserves. Democratic challenger Matt Campbell has about $22,000 in cash and nearly $50,000 in debt.
Photographer seeks Waterloo smoochers
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) A Minnesota photographer is asking volunteers to kiss for the camera.
Photographer Bonnie Fournier is seeking 10,000 exhibition-quality images from various locations for an effort titled ``The Smooch! Project.''
Fournier will take photos of folks kissing at the Waterloo Center for the Arts on Sunday between 1 and 5 p.m. Participants are asked only to bring a loved one and demonstrate sincere affection.
Fournier says the project is a documentary to demonstrate that people share a joyful willingness to welcome affection into their lives.
Fournier has already shot pictures in the Twin Cities and Michigan and is planning to visit Canada next month.
People can buy a print for a fee, but Fournier says most people participate only to help the effort succeed.

Nearly two million dollars worth of ancient Florida artifacts are now evidence in a case of criminal conspiracy.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Officers nabbed 14 people after a two year investigation into missing artifacts from state lands.
Officers say the suspects were sneaking on to state property at night to dig and dive for the pieces of history.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Major Curtis Brown says the suspects were selling the items on the internet.
"Some of these items and they are displayed on these posters, they were for sale for 100,000 dollars. They were sold online, websites, Ebay, Craigslist, tradeshows and of course the black-market," said Brown.
Some of the suspects are experienced divers and experts in Florida history.
They had been operating for years. No one knows how many artifacts were shipped out of state.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend in their home and then committed suicide at the team's practice facility Saturday morning, police said, an unprecedented act of violence involving an NFL player at a team facility.
Police confirmed that the player's suicide occurred in front of Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel, who were outside talking to him as he held a weapon.
"After talking to Crennel and Pioli, they said he was a good kid. He thanked them for everything they had done for him before walking away," said Darin Snapp, spokesman for Kansas City Police.
"The suspect walked in the opposite direction and shot himself."
On Perkins' Instagram page, she hailed the birth of her two-month-old daughter as the "best day of my life.'' The page displayed several photos of the proud parents with their newborn.
As scheduled, Kansas City will host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday after discussions between the league office, Crennel and team captains determined the game should be played.
Two people with knowledge of the decision to play the game as scheduled told USA TODAY Sports that there were no dissenting voices. Chiefs owner Clark Hunt discussed the issue with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL general counsel Jeff Pash, and Goodell in turn talked with players union chief DeMaurice Smith.
After meeting with his entire team at Arrowhead Stadium, Crennel met with the six team captains -- Matt Cassell, Derrick Johnson, Eric Berry, Ryan Lilja, Terrance Copper and Dustin Colquitt. The captains agreed that the game should be played. The team was slated to reconvene on Saturday evening at a local hotel, as it is customary for the team to stay sequestered on the night before games.
"Love. Laughter. Life. Loyalty,'' wrote Perkins on the page.
Snapp confirmed that the couple's daughter, Zoey, born Sept. 11, is safe. The baby is in the care of Belcher's mother, who police said lived with the couple in a house leased by her son.
The confounding murder-suicide stunned the small-market city, sent reverberations through the league and devastated a franchise nonetheless all too accustomed to dealing with shocking deaths of Chiefs players. League spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed that no player ever had committed suicide at a team facility.
"People think how can a young man with the world in front of him, making good money and playing on a national stage, do something like that?," former Chiefs running back Tony Richardson told USA TODAY Sports. "But you just don't understand the mental state of what some people are dealing with. It's sad.''
Kansas City Mayor Sly James told The Associated Press that he spoke with Pioli, who told the mayor he was concerned about fan reaction. "I think (the Chiefs) think there's an obligation to the people of this city, the fans of the team and the fans of the other team to play the game,'' James said.
The NFL said it has coupled the franchise with a team of grief counselors for support.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Chiefs and the families and friends of those who lost their lives in this terrible tragedy,'' the league said in a statement.
Belcher, 25, played football at the University of Maine from 2005-08, where he was a co-captain his senior season. Originally from West Babylon, N.Y., Belcher graduated with a bachelor's degree in child development and family relations. His former college coach, Jack Cosgrove, remembered him Saturday as a "tremendous student-athlete.''
"His move to the NFL was in keeping with his dreams,'' Cosgrove said in a statement. "This is an indescribably horrible tragedy.''
Likewise, former college teammates were left pondering what went wrong. Anthony Cotrone, who played fullback at Maine, recalled that his former teammate "always had a smile.''
"He was such a great kid all about his family,'' Cotrone said. "I got 50 calls and texts from old teammates after the news broke and the reaction was pretty much the same: 'This is so sad. What happened to him?' ''
For now, no one seems to know.
But the tragic events that unfolded in the wee hours of Saturday morning indicate what might have triggered the murder-suicide at the three-bedroom split-level home in a residential neighborhood east of the city.
The Kansas City Star, quoting an unidentified friend of Perkins, reported that Belcher confronted his girlfriend after she returned at about 1 a.m. following a Trey Songz concert.
The couple had dated about three years and argued frequently, the woman told The Star.
A different friend, Jennifer Ashley, said that Perkins was pursuing a degree at Blue River Community College in Independence, Mo., with the hopes of becoming a teacher, according to The Star. Ashley told the newspaper that the couple had been introduced by a girlfriend of another Chiefs player.
Kenneth Dikum, who lives four houses down from Belcher on Crysler Avenue, stood outside his front door on Saturday afternoon, peering in the direction of Belcher's house. Dikum, 40, was away from home this morning when his wife called him and told him what had happened.
Dikum said he had never spoken to Belcher or Perkins, and he did not know Belcher was a player for the Chiefs.
"I was so surprised to hear what had happened," Dikum said. He said the neighborhood is usually quiet, but he recalled although Belcher had just hosted a large party at his house on Thanksgiving night.
Another neighbor, Kristen VanMeter, 31, said she had spoken to Belcher occasionally when he did work outside his house, but she had never met his girlfriend.
"He was a terrific neighbor," VanMeter said. "We didn't think anything like that was going on."
VanMeter also said she did not know Belcher played for the Chiefs. She said he mostly kept to himself, and she never noticed anything unusual at the house.
Neither Dikum nor VanMeter were aware that Perkins recently gave birth to Belcher's child.
Snapp said police first responded to a call at 7:50 a.m. CT that a woman had been shot. She was taken to the hospital where she died. At around 8:10 a.m., Snapp said police received a call from Arrowhead Stadium security command reporting an armed male in the parking lot.
Officers observed the man with the gun held to his head. It was Belcher. After briefly speaking with Pioli and Crennel, the player shot himself.
In a statement, the team said, "The entire Chiefs family is deeply saddened by today's events, and our collective hearts are heavy with sympathy, thoughts and prayers for the families and friends affected by this unthinkable tragedy. We sincerely appreciate the expressions of sympathy and support we have received from so many in the Kansas City and NFL communities, and ask for continued prayers for the loved ones of those impacted.
"We will continue to fully cooperate with the authorities and work to ensure that the appropriate counseling resources are available to all members of the organization."
The city's mayor, on his Twitter account, encouraged the crestfallen city to wear Chiefs red to "show compassion for those involved and unity as a caring city.''
Some Chiefs personnel, including tackle Eric Winston, were at the facility when the shooting occurred because a team meeting was scheduled for 9:30 a.m..
"It's just all very sad,'' Winston said. "There (are) rumors going around. But I don't really know. We're still finding out. We were all just shuttled out of there pretty fast."
"Like a lot of guys, I'm still trying to talk to a lot of the guys.''
Belcher already had overcome long odds to make it in pro football. He was an undrafted free agent. At Maine, he won 2008 CAA Conference defensive player of the year. He was in his fourth season with the Chiefs. He was a restricted free agent this past offseason and signed the second-round tender with the $1.927 million base salary that came with it.
Those close to Belcher during his college playing days recalled his love of family, making the tragic news all the more senseless. His position coach at that time, Dwayne Wilmot, recalled the easiest way to make Belcher smile was to tell him his mother was coming to a game. More than anything, Belcher wanted to make his brood proud.
"Family was paramount for Jovan. you could see it at every game," said Wilmot, now a coach at Yale. "His family showed up in force. He relished the opportunity to make them proud as a student and an athlete. He did what he did for their love and their adulation.
"I'm devastated right now," he added. "Trying to hold together."
To the Maine athletics community, Belcher was a light the long shot who reached the pinnacle. His native Long Island is not considered a pro football hotbed, and he converted from outside linebacker to defensive end during his college career. Belcher then made the tricky switch to inside linebacker for the Chiefs as a rookie in 2009.
"What you saw was the burning desire to be successful," Wilmot said. "If he had the opportunity, he'd make the most of it ... This is a tragic end. But his life had a greater good than just this tragic end."
This is not the first time tragedy has struck the Chiefs organization.
In February 2000, star linebacker Derrick Thomas of the Chiefs died from injuries sustained in an auto accident weeks earlier. Thomas was a Pro Bowler in nine of his 11 seasons with the Chiefs. In 2009, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In 1983, Kansas City running back Joe Delaney drowned while trying to rescue three children who were struggling in a pond in Monroe, La. Though an inexperienced swimmer, Delaney made the rescue attempt. Two of the children also drowned. Delaney was a Pro Bowler in his second season with the Chiefs in 1982.
All three deaths had at least one thing in common. Family, friends and fans were asking left asking one question: Why?

Lynden subsidiary acquires Port Side Trucking
March 25, 2011
Earlier this month, Pacific Northwest-based refrigerated motor carrier Brown Line, LLC, a subsidiary of Lynden Transport, acquired the operations of Port Side Trucking, a Kent, Washington-based refrigerated trucking company.
Financial terms were not disclosed. The acquisition is expected to be completed by March 31.
Lynden Director of Marketing and Media David Rosenzweig told LM that the primary reason for this deal was that Port Side was a good fit for Brown Line and presented a market opportunity to increase volume, and add several lanes to its existing business.
Brown Line provides shippers with temperature-controlled, less-than-truckload (LTL) specialized service along the West Coast, as well as scheduled service to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Diego, Chicago, Boston, and Minneapolis from the Puget Sound and Southern British Columbia, and Port Side offers service from the Pacific Northwest to Boise, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Portland, Oregon.
Company officials said the routes the company is gaining from Port Side will benefit shippers served by both Brown and Port Side and provides a seamless, high quality refrigerated delivery network.
Rosenzweig added that Port Side was an attractive acquisition target, because it also carries refrigerated food commodities but to different markets that were not previously served by Brown Line.
"There are a large number of customers who did business with both companies," he said. Now those customers can reach all the market location from a single source. One call for all of the customers' needs."
He declined to provide information regarding how many customers Port Side has, as well as how many tractors and trailers are currently run by Port Side.
"Port Side serves markets that complement our existing services and allows us to offer customers a true one-stop-shop for shipping all temperature-controlled commodities," says Jason Jansen, Brown Line President, in a statement. "Brown Line's specialty is shipping seafood and other delicate freight. Now we can offer customers additional delivery areas and a variety of choices in shipping fresh, frozen and non-refrigerated freight. We are now positioned to serve the West Coast, Midwest, Northeast and British Columbia with the fastest door-to-door service available."

Average Customer Review: based on 5 reviews.Rating: Spare Tank Bag
how tall/ big is it - I want a very small one - I want to put some of my sons cremation ashes in it
Hello Beth, this is a small mesh opening style bag so when you get out of the water diving the water will drain out. This would not be a bag to but ashes in. But the length of the bags is determined by the size. You are looking at either 10.8", 12.8", 18.6 long.
where to find the bag for my 30 CF PONY ?
Hello Keridwen. if you are looking to mount a 30 cf tank you will need to use this item. Highland Pony Mount web link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-225/042248/Highland-Pony-Mount.html. They do not make a bag to fit a 30 cf tank.
I do not know yet whether I want to mount my 13 CU on the main tank (there is a lot of thick kelp where we died here ) or sling it to provide an easy option to take it off and clear the kelp if tangled. This bag looks like an inexpensive try out. But even for one dive, can any of you guys tell me is it strong enough to stay on my tank?

(KSDK Sports) -- Missouri will take on the Rams of Colorado State University in the first round of the NCAA tournament in Lexington, Kentucky.
CSU had the second seed in Mountain West Conference Tournament, but on Saturday they were defeated by the third-seeded UNLV Runnin' Rebels 75-65. Although it fell, Colorado State held a 42-32 edge in the rebounding battle and also outscored UNLV, 36-22, in the paint.
Colorado State last went back-to-back in 1989 and '90. This would be the Rams' fourth trip to the NCAAs since 1990, but they have not won an NCAA Tournament game since beating Florida in the first round in 1989.
Last season, the 11th-seeded Rams lost 58-41 to Murray State at Louisville, Ky.
The Rams finish with a record of 25-8, and a ratings percentage index of 24. (RPI is valid measure of team strength). Some in the Colorado press say this is probably the best team to take the court for CSU.
The Rams have only made the NCAA Tournament nine times, but they have a dismal overall tournament record of 3-10.
According to the CSU website here are some players to watch:
Leading Scorer: Colton Iverson (14.4 ppg)
Leading Rebounder: Colton Iverson (9.6 rpg)
Leading Passer: Dorian Green (3.9 apg)
Bad Losses: Illinois-Chicago
Good Wins: UNLV, San Diego State

In the rainy season (June - Oct.), a 4wd vehicle is recommended. Nicaragua has all the major rent-a-car companies at MGA International and reservations can be made in advance, online or upon arrival. If you decide to drive on your own, please be aware that Nicaragua has regular police checkpoints. If you prefer not to drive, we can arrange private transportation for you and your group. We operate a fleet of vans and 4wd vehicles which will can accommodate virtually any need you may have.
Groceries and Restaurants
Food options are limited in Tola. There are no grocery stores, so you should stock up with food in Managua or Rivas. However, there are several restaurants worth checking out. In between Hacienda Iguana and Rancho Santana is a good local place called "Isabella". Food includes chicken, steak and fish dishes cooked local style with sides of veggies, rice and beans. Between Rancho Santana and Popoyo is a small town called Limon. Limon is home to one of the best area restaurants - "Yolanda's". Yolanda's is owned by one of the nicest local families in Limon and features large portions of fresh local fare (chicken/fish/steak/rice/beans/veggies) at budget prices. Other places worth checking out are "Red Frog Pizza" and "El Toro" in Popoyo.
Meal Plan
For $30/person/day you will arrive to a kitchen stocked full of food and drink (yes, even beer and rum). Arranging this service will allow you to head straight from the airport to the condo and beach without the hassle of shopping and spending time in a grocery store. Three delicious, healthy, and generous meals will be prepared daily by the staff allowing you to relax and enjoy your vacation completely. More details and a list of meals offered is available upon request.

text: Hacking disaster: how designers and programmers are helping in emergencies Technology 25 February 13 by Ian Steadman Red Cross Organisations around the world are finding innovative ways to solve humanitarian disaster issues with design and technologyRelative to the age of our species, the time we humans have spent divorced from the messiness of the natural world has been extremely brief. While a disaster might itself be only brief -- an earthquake, a tsunami -- the destruction of infrastructure that can take weeks or months to repair can throw us back into a state of nature where issues of mortality and disease once again become terrifying real.That's why technological innovation isn't just confined to the consumer sphere -- aid agencies and eager individuals are just as focused on finding ways to help people with smartphones and smart design as they are with food packages and tents. The altruism and desire to share and collaborate that drives much of the software, design and artistic world translates well into development.To that end, the Department for International Development (Dfid) helps to fund the Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) specifically to help aid agencies with their projects. Last week it also set up a new fund in collaboration with the US government, which will make £9.5 million available for existing projects which need more funding to expand in scope, while pilot projects which are still being tweaked can apply for grants up to £630,000."New technology has the power to transform our response to humanitarian crises," Justine Greening, the secretary of state for international development, said. "We are already trialling the use of mobile phone apps, text alerts and GPS technology in humanitarian crises. The more focused and effective our response to disasters, the more quickly people can rebuild their homes and their lives and the further our money will stretch. This new fund will find the technologies and innovations that work best and scale them up so they can be used across the world."Around the world there are organisations that are finding innovative ways to solve humanitarian crises with smart design and technology. Wired.co.uk had a look at some of them:Rapid Family Tracing (RapidFTR), Unicef Natural disasters can split up families, leaving children vulnerable and alone. "Kids wandering around are more likely to be trafficked, or abused or taken away from their family, or to get sick, so the first thing is to get them back to their family," Christopher Fabian, co-lead of Unicef's Innovation Unit, told Wired.co.uk. "The way we were doing this in 2010 was with carbon paper and pens. Taking a photo of the kid, writing down 'where do you think you're from, what does your house look like' and so on, then putting it up on a wall."That system was tried and tested, but also slow and terrible for maintaining records. Unicef's in-house Innovation Labs were set up to solve just this kind of problem, and, Fabian says, "one of the first things we were asked was 'can you make carbon paper better?' -- and shockingly, the answer is yes".The solution they developed was RapidFTR, which actually began as a project for a class on the Interactive Communication Technology course at New York University. In the wake of the Haiti earthquake, people from the private sector and startups were calling Unicef asking how they could help. "We said put your open source developers and managers on Haiti. Inspire them, make them know there's a real need there. We had developers from six continents who built up the first version of the system. All that work was free and open source," explained Fabian."What we've seen is that people want to make connections to the people that they know and love and care about, and kids are alone, they can't express who they are or where they're from as well as adults," he continues. "In Japan [after the 2011 tsunami], adults could put up stuff on Facebook to reconnect, but kids can't. You need someone to go out with a device, walk around a city, find kids -- who are often in informal groups -- and gather their information and photograph them. Then they can head back to an area with connectivity and upload it to a secure database."That central database can be accessed by those who need to keep track of the kids, ticking off children as they're reunited with their parents. Importantly, it also allows different levels of access to aid workers depending on their status -- medical workers can access medical information, but others might only need a photo and a name. The ability to keep track of records and then upload once back at a central location is something designed with the limitations of connectivity in mind -- in an emergency situation, or even in some of the areas Unicef works anyway, mobile access can be extremely limited. Overloading the mobile networks can knock a host of other systems offline, and make a situation much worse.RapidFTR runs on Android devices and netbooks, and has been successfully tested in Uganda with Unicef's partners. "Everyone's working on it because it's open source," Fabian said. "Usually people have their own protocols or whatever. We have seven Innovation Labs around the world, and this is a cool example of what you can do if you follow principles of developing technology for development -- be open, be collaborative, be open to failure, build with the user in mind. If you're working with proprietary software in an emergency and you can't change a language, lives can be lost." The funding that the project has received from the HIF means that by May Fabian expects RapidFTR to be in a state where Unicef can prepare kits for easy deployment in emergencies. He said: "It'll be a quick setup box with some Android devices so you can just go. And because it's open source, and it's about records, we can use it in other areas, like keeping track of buildings. I want to test it out in other areas of emergency response." Part of the excitement comes from not knowing how it will be used in future by those who pick it up."

Just goes to show you. You can do a good job with just paint!
Have some rep for old school tools.
Nice work, but, uhm... why would anybody want to use MS Paint? Serious question, it just seems.... very limited.
Well, if you're a good story-teller or writer then all you need is a simple map...the writing fills in the flavor and a simple map leaves much more to the imagination.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)
My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
I didn't mean to say that a map has to be fancy, but MS Paint is just terrible to use.
However, that's not really what you asked. You want to know why someone would use MS Paint to make a map. Well, I could spin some BS about the simplified interface allowing one to focus on the important parts of the map. Something about how what's important about a map is how it works in the context it is intended to, rather than how color coordinated the dungeon stones are. While there is some truth to that (mainly the simplified interface) it's just BS. I use MS Paint because there aren't any other options on my work PC. (I made these during my lunch hour, after work, or just whenever I needed to clear my head from the other stuff going on.)
Also, I don't have much of a talent for graphical art. I'm a programmer. I write code. I can come up with functional things (like functional application interfaces or functional dungeon maps) but don't ask me to make it pretty, because I fail hard at pretty. (There's a reason I use only grayscale and it's not necessarily that it prints better.) So there really isn't any reason for me to go to something more advanced because I wouldn't use 99% of the stuff in Photoshop, and actually that 99% tends to obscure the 1% that I do use. (Yes, I've tried GIMP and found it to be quite overwhelming. I used to do Photoshop on a Mac in high school, but this was like Photoshop version 1 or 2, so it didn't have nearly as many bells and whistles as it does now-a-days.)
Now, being a programmer, I continually tell myself that one day when I'm really bored I'll have to make my own version of MS Paint that has the features that I want without anything I don't. (Like, I wish Paint could zoom more than x8, or that I could insert text while zoomed in. Also, I wouldn't mind the ability to use alpha levels, or to be able to import my own custom bitmap fonts for use in the application. More levels of undo would be nice too, and a larger paint pallete and improved GIF support, and a "hand" tool for shifting the image while zoomed in… I should stop now.) The only reason I can see for myself to use Photoshop or GIMP would be to convert the PNG images I make into vector/line art images so that they will print out well at any scale. (Actually, that was what I mostly used Photoshop on high school for as well, only it wasn't for dungeon maps it was for scans of manga pages that I wanted to blow up and print.)

Well not having anything else would do the trick.
Gimp is totally overkill, and I actually do agree it would be a bad choice for you. For such dungeon maps, I think Inkscape may be a good choice. Or try paint.net, it's not perfect, but nicer than ms paint and it's free, too. There are probably other alternatives. But in the end, whatever works for you is the right tool, really. Thanks for the explanation tho.
While I admit there is a learning curve to either of these applications it does pay off in the end.
I am NOT an artist... more of a programmer. The main reason I like gimp is because of the scripting capability it gives me...I can easily write programs to overcome my lack of artistic ability because of the framework gimp provides.

|Swimmers take on Eaton, Scottsbluff
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
HHS swimmers, competing with the Sterling High School girls' team, traveled to Eaton Tuesday, Jan. 13 and to Scottsbluff, Neb. Thursday, Jan. 15.
Sterling won the Eaton dual 97-79 and lost 61-124 to Scottsbluff.
Holyoke coach Adria Colver noted the Scottsbluff dual was the swimmers' third meet in six days, and the only one that wasn't a league meet. As a result, they chose to use it as an opportunity to swim "off-events," which were different from each girl's specialty in order to keep their favorite stroke from getting stale.
Colver said she saw some surprisingly good swims, despite the loss to a very good team.
In individual events at Eaton, LeAnne McWilliams placed third in the 100 back and fourth in the 100 freestyle. Briar Bergner claimed fourth in the 100 breast.
Three local girls were on place-winning 200 medley relay teams. McWilliams swam the backstroke on the first-place team, Bergner swam the breaststroke on the second-place team and Amy Krogmeier swam the backstroke on the third-place team.
Krogmeier was also a member of the third-place 400 freestyle relay.
Other HHS students competing at Eaton included Pamela McWilliams, Chelsy Gomez and Kendra Walz.
At Scottsbluff, Bergner placed fifth in the 100 breast and LeAnne McWilliams was a memer of the second-place 200 free relay.
Other Holyoke competitors at Scottsbluff were Krogmeier, Pamela McWilliams, Jordan Zeiler, Gomez and Walz, as well as Amber Wilkening of Haxtun HS.
This week, the Sterling swimmers traveled to Windsor Tuesday, Jan. 20, with results to appear in next week's Enterprise. The girls will host Silver Creek Tuesday, Jan. 27 in a 5 p.m. dual in Sterling and will travel to Estes Park for a dual Thursday, Jan. 29.

1932 Ford Coupe - Low RollerWritten by on July 1, 2008 Contributors: Kevin Lee Puttin' It All On Black
Y'know, I can't help but think that hot rodding had to be easier a few decades ago. Sure, the aftermarket was small or nonexistent, but it was pretty easy to turn an early '30s Ford into a hot rod with a few simple upgrades and the removal of some sheetmetal. Take a look at Larry Roller's gorgeous three-window, which appears to be a stripped-down, stock-bodied '32 with a chop and drilled front axle. The truth is somewhat different. The body was actually found in a creek bed in Arkansas, so you know it took a lot of work to get it not just to this state, but good enough to paint black. And, that's a long way from just unbolting the fenders from a clean stocker and adding a dropped axle and hop-up goodies to the motor.
There was a whole lot more work put into the chassis than just lopping off the horns and painting it black, too. In fact, it's the chassis work that gives this coupe such a great stance. And, while the project was brought to fruition by a number of skilled Oklahoma craftsmen, the chassis work was entrusted to the Rolling Bones crew in Greenfield Center, New York, who bobbed, pinched, and Z'd it before adding Model A crossmembers. A Model A spring keeps the chassis off the Winters quick-change axle, and, yes, Larry does have more than one set of gears for it!
But, why farm out the chassis work to Rolling Bones Hot Rod Shop? "Have you seen their cars? As soon as I first saw Ken Schmidt's rod in 2002, I wanted to build one just like it, so I immediately made the call when I purchased this coupe body," Larry said. "Ken usually won't touch anything but a complete build but agreed to build me a chassis, using a perfect original Deuce frame from his stockpile. I sent 'em the wishbone, axle, and other parts, and they worked their magic, though I had to wait in line until Dennis Varni's sedan was finished." Ken even delivered the rolling frame to Larry's Oklahoma home while on his way to California, and what should also be in the trailer but his roadster. It was January, and 30 degrees outside, but Ken and Larry went to breakfast in the roadster, which was when Larry became hooked on the sound of open exhausts, and indeed you'll find no mufflers on his coupe. In fact, punch "larry roller" into YouTube, and you'll be able to hear it rumble by at our photo shoot.
While Larry's owned more than 50 modified cars, his last rod being Tom Prufer's old red '32, this is the first ground-up build he's undertaken. "I'd grown tired of owning other people's cars; it was time to build my own," was how he put it. Of course, his budget was blown halfway through the project, but he set out to build a driver-and drive it he has, racking up just shy of 5,000 miles last season, including a solo 1,500-mile trip to the Street Rod Nationals, where the coupe took a Pro's Pick award, bug guts, rain spots, an' all!
That trip revealed the shortcomings of the minimal padding in the seat cushions, but it didn't deter Larry. And, while we're on the subject, after an outlandish quote to trim the entire interior in leather, Larry hit on the idea of combining another of his hobbies-namely collecting WWII aircraft parts-with his passion for hot rods, which is why you'll find the seat cushions, floor mats, and rear firewall trimmed in canvas to complement the aircraft cockpit light, fuel shutoffs, and circuit breakers. Oh, and the pice de rsistance: the shifter pistol grip from a P-51 Mustang, the buttons of which now operate the horn and ignition.
Of course, the budget for the interior was blown anyway when Larry sourced a pair of rare stainless steel seats from a Navy F-6 Hellcat, and then had 'em polished. Ah well, the end justifies the means.
And the end it is, at least for Larry, since renowned collector Bruce Meyer had just added this coupe to his collection when we called. Seems the building bug has bitten Larry now, though, as he has plans for a '32 Tudor sedan, but he's keeping the details to himself. If it's anything like this coupe, we can't wait to see it.
Rod & Custom Feature Car
Larry Roller
Owasso, Oklahoma
1932 Ford coupe
Starting with a cherry original chassis, the Rolling Bones team removed the framehorns, Z'd the rear to bring it down so the rear tires perfectly filled the wheelwells, and pinched the 'rails just ahead of the firewall to tuck 'em behind the grille shell, before adding Model A crossmembers-all subtle stuff that gives the coupe its unmistakable stance. The drilled I-beam is an original Model B item, with '46 Ford spindles, Wilson Welding brakes with Lincoln drums, Houdaille shocks, and a POSIES spring completing the frontend specifics. The Hot Rod Garage supplied the pedal assembly, hooking up to a Mustang dual master cylinder with no power assist. The lack of power also features in the steering, with a cowl-mounted Schroeder Sprint Car 'box taking care of business, which is hung from some great drilled I-beam mounts.
Asked about his choice of motor, Larry told us, "If you didn't have a 327 and four-speed back in the day, you weren't anyone." Well, they weren't his exact words, but it means the same thing. He built up the motor to look like a 327/350-horse clone, all decked out in Chevy Orange like a Vette motor, but received such a ribbing from fellow HAMB members about its '60s appearance that he re-detailed it in Ford Flathead Green using a Powermaster alternator and cloth-wrapped HT leads. The last motor built by Carbone Racing in Tulsa before the owner's death, it runs a COMP cam, double-hump heads, TRW pistons, and sounds just fine, thank you, through that open exhaust system. A Hays flywheel and hydraulically operated 11-inch clutch hook the motor to a Richmond T10 four-speed, before transmitting the power back to a Winters quick-change. "I wanted a quick-change," Larry told us, "but didn't want to be breaking those old parts, so I opted for the Winters with custom Dutchman axles." Pete & Jake's ladder bars locate the axle, with a Model A spring taking care of the bumps.
Wheels & Tires
Early Ford rims and 'caps suit this coupe perfectly, with '40 Ford 16x4s wrapped in 4.50 rubber up front and 7.50-clad F-100 16x5s out back. The blackwall tire, black rim, and black body choice look way better than any other combo could in this instance.
Body & Paint
Skalnik Hot Rods out of Skiatook, Oklahoma, laid on the PPG Vivid Black and clearcoat, but not before tackling a little bodywork. The body was found on its side in a creek, so there was the small job of repairing some damage before filling the roof insert hole or the 5-inch chop with leaned-back A-pillars could be tackled. This called for replacing the driver-side half of the roof and a section of the left fenderwell. Original Ford sections were sourced on eBay, meaning the car is still all Ford-well, with the exception of the Brookville floor and dash. For a creek find, it was in remarkably good condition. Guide 682-C headlights and '37 Ford taillights illuminate all four corners, while all the exposed steel inside the car and in the trunk was painted in speckled trunk paint to complement the military aviation theme.
The Zero Bomb Company from Sand Springs wired the coupe, which features no fuses but employs aircraft circuit breakers instead. There are all sorts of cool aircraft switches used throughout the interior, all of which serve a purpose but don't necessarily do what they're labeled to do. For instance, there are no bomb bay doors, but there's a switch for 'em! Scott's Auto Trim in Tulsa took care of the canvas-trimmed rear firewall, seat cushions, and pop-off floor mats. The drilled and nickel-plated pedals (there's no chrome on the car at all, just tarnished nickel plate) are bell-flanged just like the seat risers, tying in nicely with the drilled three-spoke steering wheel and underdash bracketry for the steering box, while Stewart Warner Wings gauges in a Knecht/Mariner insert look great with the column-mounted tach.

New report presents a green look at NAFTA-related logistics operations
April 07, 2011
Lately when I think of NAFTA, I tend to think of the U.S.-Mexico cross-border trucking program and all of the starts and stops and related drama associated with it over the years. But a recently-released report from the Secretariat of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) got me thinking about NAFTA in a different way.
It is a way, which goes beyond cross trucking and impacts us all, whether you are a shipper, carrier, or consumer; that way being the environment.
In its report, entitled "Destination Sustainability: Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Freight Transportation in North America," CEC examines NAFTA's continental freight transportation network, which it said is the second largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in North America following electricity generation.
One of the report's most telling findings is that by 2030 truck emissions are being projected to increase 20 percent. Given the current situation when it comes to GHG emissions, it likely stands to reason that projection could be much higher. But make no mistake it is pretty steep all the same.
And with higher GHG emissions, comes a reduced competitive advantage, according to CEC Executive Director Evan Lloyd, and it requires more than ongoing inroads being made on fuel economy and transportation technology.
To counter increased GHG emissions from trucks in the next 20 years or so, the CEC report offers various recommendations that could dint its future impact.
One recommendation is to roll out carbon pricing and system efficiency strategies in which the U.S., Canada, and Mexico should consider putting a price on carbon to provide a clear signal that investing in efficiency and low-carbon fuel alternatives are vital.
Another one was a call for the NAFTA partners to re-invest in transportation infrastructure, coupled with fuel-saving alternatives and adopting intelligent transportation systems.
Improving supply chain management processes also came up, too. CEC said that managing transportation systems more efficiently by working harder to fill loads on the back haul that commonly are "empty miles" and also leverage railroads when applicable.
These recommendations and others made in the CEC report show that being green and focusing on sustainability are more than just talk, or, as a friend often tells me, "cocktail chatter."
Look no more than the White House's recent call for its National Clean Fleets Partnership, which it said is designed to help large companies cut down on diesel and gasoline usage in their fleets by meshing electronic vehicles, alternative fuels, and fuel-savings measures into their daily operations.
While this effort looks promising, it is by no means a one size fits all solution, as all different companies have different needs obviously. But, again, when it comes to sustainable logistics and transportation practices, methods, and mandates, for that matter, there is a lot going on and a lot to be excited about.
Much of this is still "cocktail chatter" to a degree, but I am excited to see what happens as we belly up to the bar of green logistics.

Deliver software faster, with higher quality at lower costs.
Deliver reliable applications which meet performance expectations.
Prioritise testing according to your business needs for faster delivery.
AccuRev is a software configuration management tool which addresses complex parallel and distributed development environments with its stream-based architecture, to accelerate your development process and improve asset reuse.
Streams provide the basic ability for isolation and parallel development like branches, but eliminate the headaches associated with today's branching and merging. Streams understand relationships which enables code to be naturally inherited and as a result, eliminates the overhead of manually merging. Development teams have the ability to visually model and manage their entire software development process using streams.
With AccuRev, streams support the fundamental branching capabilities of isolation and parallel development. Unlike branches, Streams define the various configurations of the entire code-base and automatically manage relationships with other streams.
Streams reduce the need to merge code changes as code flows up and downstream automatically. Because of this, less time is spent on merging and code integration is more consistent, which reduces the chance of code divergence.
Developers tie code changes directly to any kind of asset including issues, stories, and tasks, which creates a Change Package. AccuRev's Change Packages enable development teams to achieve full change-based traceability, so they can manage and track all changes at 'change' level, including merging.
AccuRev enables teams to communicate with the same business language to ensure understanding and visibility across all assets that change in the Software Supply Chain. Managing changes at change level rather than file level ensures successful merges and builds, and that all files are present.
Developers work in their own private workspace streams to isolate immature code from mature code. This built-in best practice ensures developers base their work on 'last known good' configuration streams and helps them support more complex parallel development models.
Developers are able to keep their code to themselves while collaborating on coding projects, until it's ready to share further up the stream hierarchy.
Because of the parent-child relationship of streams, lower streams in the structure automatically inherit promoted files. This means that some merges are performed automatically by the system.
Stream inheritance results in a reduction in file content merging and code changes. With inheritance, change is instant. Development teams can be confident that they are building against the latest changes, which results in higher quality releases.
Respond to change quickly with clear visibility into your development process. All changes and decisions are based on fact-driven analysis. AccuRev supports the most stringent of regulations and compliances like Sarbanes-Oxley, so you know exactly what was delivered, when it was delivered, and why it was delivered. AccuRev enables you to rebuild ANY release quickly, whenever you need to.
Improve your development team's productivity. AccuRev's stream-based technology minimizes much of the need for manual merging, which gives developers more time to code and to ensure they are working against the latest configuration. Introduce process through gated stages to control and automate change easily and cost effectively.
Isolate your changes from your peers without creating additional layers of overhead. All your changes are committed to the database but stored in your private sandbox so you won't clobber other people's changes. Easily share your changes with others without merging. AccuRev integrates seamlessly with Jenkins and Crucible for best-in-class continuous integration and code review.
Continuous delivery uses a set of key principles which involve staging the software development and delivery process. Find out how AccuRev can help.
Many organizations struggle to deliver software in a timely manner. The set of practices called 'continuous delivery' is gaining favor in delivering new software on time.
Software organizations must be in a position to support the business and possess the speed and agility required to deliver what the business needs in order to remain competitive and successful.

Magnetic Frill
Application ID: 1419
Feeding antennas with proper signals can be difficult. The signal is often described as a voltage, and voltages are not well defined in electromagnetic wave formulations. There are several tricks to model voltage generators in such situations, and one is the magnetic frill. This model shows the basic steps of defining a magnetic frill voltage generator for a dipole antenna, and it also compares the resulting antenna impedance with known results.

It took me several attempts to learn how to cook the food without having too much salt absorbed from the tile. What I have learned is that the most important element of cooking on it is to heat to a very high temp. I would say 500 F. You must have it so hot that the food cooks in minutes. Otherwise the food will be too salty. I like it and plan to continue using it. It's fairly easy to clean and store. I wrap it in a towel to store it. You must use very thinly sliced food or it will have to cook longer, therefore absorbing more salt.

Manchester United's IPO Misses Wide Left
Manchester United has an ardent fan base -- 75,000 cheering them on at every home game and millions more watching on TV. But apparently there aren't a lot of soccer fans on Wall Street. When the club kicked off its IPO Friday, the excitement was muted, to say the least.

Healing is impossible in loneliness; it is the opposite of loneliness. Conviviality is healing.
To be healed we must come with all the other creatures to the feast of Creation.
– Wendell Berry, The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays
Constant attention by a good nurse may be
just as important as a major operation by a surgeon.
– Dag Hammarskjold
Sometimes we must yield control to others and accept our vulnerability so we can be healed.
– Kathy Magliato, Healing Hearts: A Memoir of a Female Heart Surgeon
A doctor, like anyone else who has to deal with human beings … cannot be a scientist;
he is either, like the surgeon, a craftsman, or, like the physician and the psychologist, an artist.
This means that in order to be a good doctor
a man must also have a good character, that is to say,
whatever weaknesses and foibles he may have, he must
love his fellow human beings in the concrete and
desire their good before his own.
– W. H. Auden
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
– Rumi
Healing is best accomplished when art and science are conjoined,
when body and spirit are probed together.
-Bernard Lown, M.D., The Lost Art of Healing
Wounding and healing are not opposites. They're part of the same thing.
It is our wounds that enable us to be compassionate with the wounds of others.
It is our limitations that make us kind to the limitations of other people.
It is our loneliness that helps us to to find other people or to even
know they're alone with an illness.
― Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D.
The most important innovation in medicine to come in the next 10 years:

Scratch the surface of the Cranfield report on the number of women holding positions on FTSE boards and it becomes obvious that UK business is failing to tackle the problems underlying the glass ceiling.
While the 2.5pc increase in women on FTSE 100 boards is a step in the right direction, it does not go far enough.
The increase is mainly in non-executive positions – there are still only 20 women holding executive directorships in the FTSE 100, compared to 285 men.
This is changing at a glacial rate (there were 13 female FTSE executives in 1999) and means that women are still too often in the peripheral during operational and strategic decision-making.
Corporate governance is made richer and more proficient by diversity, and building an effective talent pipeline should be a commercial priority for our business leaders.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
A former Afghan warlord has caused consternation by suggesting that militias re-form to fill the gap left when international troops withdraw in 2014.
Mohammad Ismail Khan, formerly governor of Herat and now minister of energy and water, voiced the idea in a speech in the western city in late October.
The mujahedin groups that fought the Soviets in the 1980s and each other in the early 1990s have faded from view under United Nations-backed disarmament initiatives since 2001.
Despite the formation of the Afghan National Army, Ismail Khan says the old militias need to be reconstituted as a bulwark against the insurgents after 2014. He said he had discussed the idea with President Hamid Karzai as well as former mujahedin commanders.
"I have spoken in detail with the president himself, who is a former mujahedin member himself. We are now working on registering names, an agenda and a draft structure for a nationwide jihadi formation."
"I have talked to jihadi leaders from different provinces," he continued. "We want to establish a general council of the mojahedin of Afghanistan very soon, for the sake of the country's future and in order to uphold the Islamic system."
Karzai's press office declined to tell IWPR whether the president had discussed or agreed to Ismail Khan's proposal.
Creating a new military force with its own governing body would seem to undo 11 years of efforts to build a centralised government and national army. Also, although Ismail Khan argues that the paramilitaries are the only force capable of stabilising Afghanistan, the groups he is talking are mostly from the northern part of the country, and it unlikely they could control the Pashtun south or defeat the insurgents.
As provincial governor and then minister, Ismail Khan has been part of government in the post-2001 dispensation. But he used his speech to attack both the government and its international allies, accusing them of disarming militias like his own.
"They gathered up our artillery and tanks, and piled them up somewhere like trash. In their place, they brought in German girls, French girls, Dutch girls and armed American girls. They brought in white European soldiers and black African soldiers and thought they could ensure security here, but they weren't able to," he said.
Although the mujahedin factions used to be notorious for fighting among themselves, Ismail Khan's plan has won some support in some quarters. One of his old allies, Gholam Mohammad Masun, expanded on the proposal.
"Since people are evincing some fear and trepidation about the withdrawal of foreign forces after 2014, Ismail Khan decided to tell them he is standing side by side with them," Masun said. "As for the mujahedin forces…. who were dismissed in the name of DDR [Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration], it's been decided to register and mobilise them so that if need be, they can help the national army and police."
Qazi Nazir Ahmad Hanafi, a former militia commander in Herat and now a member of the Afghan parliament, said Ismail Khan's remarks had been twisted – he had no intention of creating a parallel government or army.
"Ismail Khan's aim is to get the mujahedin involved in the government's political and military system so as to provide better security once foreign forces withdraw," he said.
Such reassurances will do nothing to calm fears of a resurgence of numerous armed groups answerable to their own leaders rather than central government, and with a past record of bloodshed and plunder.
"I don't know who Ismail Khan is going to wage jihad against… probably against our oppressed nation," public servant Mohammad Hassan said, expressing worries shared by many. "I have a few requests for Ismail Khan and his jihadi friends. The biggest service they can do us is to refrain from harming us and our country. If they really want to serve the country and people, they should give the government the money they have looted and the lands they have seized over the past 25 years. They should stop trading under the terms Islam and jihad, stop working for Iran and Pakistan, and stop pouring salt on people's wounds."
The upper house of parliament condemned Ismail Khan's proposal as illegal, and said building up the government's defence forces was the only way forward.
Afghans who remember the civil war of the early 1990s fear any repetition of those years. As multiple militia factions fought each other, realigned themselves in new alliances, and then started fighting again, tens of thousands of civilians were killed, indiscriminate shell and rocket fire devastated large parts of Kabul, and lawless paramilitaries brutalised the population and looted property. When the Taleban arrived in Kabul in 1996, they were greeted as a much-needed force for stability and order.
Although the armed factions provided the ground forces for the United States-led invasion of late 2001, they subsequently receded from public view thanks to disarmament programmes and the creation of a national army.
"Any other [non-state] military formation is illegitimate and against the national interest," Ajmal Sohail, leader of the Afghan Liberal Party, said. "This move by Ismail Khan will further weaken the people's confidence in the Afghan government and armed forces. In fact, it is doing the enemy a favour."
Sohail suggested that militia leaders were keen to demonstrate their continued ability to wield force, in the face of accusations of human rights violations and war crimes.
"They are doing this to defend themselves. It is a preemptive response to the [possible] implementation of transitional justice in this country, or trials at the International Criminal Court in The Hague," he said.
A major report by Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission on past human rights abuses was quietly shelved last year – reportedly under pressure from individuals named as alleged perpetrators, and still in positions of power. According to Sohail, discussions on publishing the report were revived recently.
"That was a danger signal for those who have been involved in human rights violations of one kind or another," he said.
Another view is that Ismail Khan is lining up a role for himself in a new, decentralised Afghanistan.
Political analyst Wahid Mozhda said there was now talk of dividing Afghanistan into eight zones, so Ismail Khan was manoeuvring to secure the western territories he used to control.
As Mozhda put it, "Ismail Khan wants to appropriate one of the eight 'kingdoms' for himself."
The result, Mozhda said, would be renewed civil war, as regional leaders backed by various foreign powers jostled for position.
Another analyst, Fazel Rahman Oria, agreed that fragmentation was a risk, adding that Karzai was unconcerned about this as long as he could ensure his own political survival beyond the next presidential election, due in 2014.
"The only thing Karzai wants is to make one of his own relatives the next president, so that he can be prime minister, and to ensure that the eight zones are ruled by his friends," Oria said.

Edelbrock Hemi Headers - Headers For The New HemiWritten by on June 1, 2004 Teaching A New Dog Old Tricks
What's old seems to be new again at Chrysler. and when old refers to the revival of Hemi power plants in production Mopars, we definitely call it a positive trend. The 5.7-liter Hemi engine came onto the scene with a vengeance. Replacing the very good 5.9-liter Magnum engine (that's a 360 for us old-time, non-metric guys), Chrysler raised the bar substantially with the new Hemi. With a class-leading 345 SAE net horsepower on tap, the output is a staggering 100 hp greater than the previous engine's 245. That Chrysler's newest mill is blessed with the legendary Hemi configuration is just the icing on the cake.
With all that horsepower on tap, it's only natural that hardcore power junkies would look for more. In the old days, finding more power was easy to do, but with many of today's highly developed engines, Detroit didn't leave a lot of easy-to-get horsepower on the shelf. But that is not enough to stop the aftermarket from trying, and often succeeding, in taking a good OE package and making it better.
We heard Edelbrock was developing tubular exhaust headers for the 5.7 Hemi, and we decided to stop by their R&D facility for a first-hand look. In the old days, you could take just about any engine, slap on a set of headers, and reap substantial rewards in increased output. These days, we've seen numerous exhaust tests where ditching the factory equipment barely goosed output enough to be worth mentioning. We have to confess to not being familiar with the 5.7 Hemi's factory-fitted exhaust manifolds, so we really didn't know what to expect.
We had the opportunity to see the prototype installation of Edelbrock's Hemi headers and were impressed with the quality and fit. There was no denying they are nice pieces. More importantly, we had a chance to see for ourselves on the dyno what they were worth, and the numbers were impressive. Here's the lowdown on what we found out.

Here's the source of the excitement around Dodge's new truck offerings-the 5.7 liter Hemi mill. With 345 SAE net horsepower on tap, these engines set the standard for V-8 performance. Who would've thought Chrysler would be back to packing Hemis under the hood?The stock exhaust system is configured with these crude-looking, cast-iron, log-style manifolds leading into a rather uninspiring Y-pipe arrangement. This seemed to be an area with the potential for improvement. Edelbrock is a major producer of exhaust-upgrade components, primarily for late-model vehicles.In contrast, the Edelbrock headers and Y-pipe look much more conducive to a Hemi engine's flow requirements. The headers are constructed from 1 5/8-inch primary tubes, made of 409 stainless and mated to sturdy 3/8-inch flanges. The units are designed to last and are finished in either nickel/chrome plating or a ceramic coating. The tubing terminates in a collector, which mates to a 2 1/4-inch Y-pipe. To let the cat out of the bag-these pipes pick up power big time, even through an otherwise stock single-exhaust system.Looking down the spout of the factory logs, there is little evidence of any attempt to streamline the passages for airflow. Headers should definitely prove better, but with this late-model stuff you can never be sure until the prototypes are made and the testing is completed.Edelbrock's exhaust-system components are manufactured in-house at a dedicated exhaust products plant. The emphasis is on quality control. Here, we have a flange with a header tube fitted. note how the formed shape of the 18-gauge steel tube's end fits tightly to the laser-cut hole in the heavy, 3/8-inch steel flange. This will be precision welded with automated machinery.With the gasket overlaid across the flange, note how the form closely mimics the exhaust gasket, which closely follows the net shape of the cylinder head's exhaust port.Still not impressed? Eyeballing a competitor's product shows just how far off the mark fitment can be if attention to detail takes a back seat to getting a product out to market.The Hemi engine is set back deep in the engine compartment, but there is ample room for tubular exhaust headers. Here, we have a clear view of the passenger-side extractor, as fitted in Edelbrock's prototype installation.
At the outlets, the Hemi headers feature a stock-style 2 1/4-inch collector to mate with the Edelbrock Y-pipe. This arrangement offers a system much less prone to leakage, as compared to a flat-gasketed flange.Aft of the headers, Edelbrock's Y-pipe is sensibly routed, providing a smooth transition into the system merge and joining with the stock catalytic converter.At the controls of Edelbrock's Superflow chassis dyno, an Edelbrock technician sets the Hemi Ram for some power pulls. Testing is a big part of component development at Edelbrock and is done in-house.What were the headers worth where the tire meets the tarmac? In torque, output was up by as much as 34 lb-ft with the biggest gains in the upper midrange at around 4,000 rpm. Peak torque, which was recorded at 4,600 rpm in the stock Hemi, moved up by 11 lb-ft. The largest gain in horsepower was again in the midrange, boosting output at 4,000 rpm by 28 hp and adding 9 hp to the peak output, recorded at 5,400 rpm. These results were through an otherwise dead-stock truck pushing through the stock single-exhaust system. These tubes definitely work.

Wow Zim, awesome bull! I've never had much of a desire to shoot a moose, but I'd prolly tag that one!
Wow Zim, awesome bull! I've never had much of a desire to shoot a moose, but I'd prolly tag that one!
Congratulations Zim. 780 pounds sounds like enough meat to fill your freezer up for a while. Those moose sure are big animals and it sounds like the heavy work started right after he hit the ground. Have a safe trip back home.
Good job on a great bull ! Someday I hope to be lucky enough to get a moose tag in my home state of Colo. Congrats!!
Great bull Zim. Congrats on a tough hunt. I can't wait to hunt moose some day.
pretty country there, what a great moose! and BB, seriously though, how do you like the rhino skins? great idea
ill check it out. after a late summer scouting trip for elk last year on the desert i found 21 ticks on me. 21!!!!!! o the drive home i was picking those stickers out of my pants and noticed a tick then the search was on. make you wonder how many we actualy get on us that we never notice

Hi all!
I used Zimbra Desktop version 1.0.4 build 1833 and the zimbra community server.
I ve a user Marc with a shared calendar and I ve an other user Bob who uses the shared calendar from Marc.
Bob has the zimbra desktop installed. If he disconected from the server (goes offline) and wants to look at the calender from Marc, he cant see any entries!
Is there a way, to store the entries from the shared calendars offline? Like a replic in lotus notes? I assume it concerns not only the calendar, but the whole shared objects.
Has somebody a hint for me?
