(SportsNetwork.com) - Terry Francona of the Cleveland Indians and Clint Hurdle
of the Pittsburgh Pirates have been named managers of the year after leading
their teams back to the postseason after long absences.
Francona, in his first season with the Indians, was named American League
Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers' Association of America after
leading the team to its first postseason berth in six years.
In a close vote, Francona beat John Farrell of the Boston Red Sox with 16
first-place votes and 112 points. Farrell had 12 first-place votes and 96
points and fellow finalist Bob Melvin of the Oakland Athletics, the 2012
winner, received two first-place votes and 36 points.
Hurdle was named the National League's top manager in his third season with
Pittsburgh after leading a 15-win improvement that landed the team its first
winning record and postseason appearance since 1992.
Both managers were live on MLB Network when the announcements were made by
BBWAA secretary/treasurer Jack O'Connell.
"It gives me a chance to brag about our organization," said Francona. "When
you get an award like this it's a representation of the organization. I'll
gladly accept it but it's for all these people."
The Pirates went 94-68, finished second in the NL Central behind the St. Louis
Cardinals and beat the Cincinnati Reds in the wild-card game. They lost to the
Cardinals in the NLDS.
Hurdle, 56, topped Don Mattingly of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Fredi Gonzalez
of the Atlanta Braves for the award. Though he managed the most successful
Pirates team in more than two decades, Hurdle said no one person can change
the culture of a team
"I do, every day when my feet hit the ground, say I'm going to model the
proper behavior that I want my guys to have," he said on MLB Network.
He received 25 first-place votes and 140 points overall to top Mattingly, who
garnered two first-place votes and 68 points. Gonzalez had three first-place
votes but only four second-place votes to Mattingly's 17. Gonzalez finished
with 43 points.
Hurdle is the second Pittsburgh manager to win the award after Jim Leyland,
who was honored in 1990 and '92.

I have following queries on viewing mails in Zimbra desktop.
a) Default Zimbra view is to view as conversation. Is it possible to change this to view as Messages.
b) I am unable to sort on From, Size, Folder columns. How can this be achieved ?
c) While searching for mails, it only shows 100 items at a time (based on setting done where maximum allowed is 100). This is fine for default viewing of mails. But while searching mails, it may be preferable to show all mails found together irrespective of the number. Is this possible ?

Street Vacation Process
Is an existing street right-of-way causing a problem?
The street vacation process
How the process works
Forms at a glance
Is an Existing Street Right-of-Way Causing a Problem?
The solution may be to vacate it.
Vacating street right-of-way eliminates the public's interest and returns ownership of the street area to private parties - most often, but not always, to the abutting property owners.
The street vacation process may solve development-related problems caused by the existence of unneeded public right-of-way. For example, an undeveloped street through two parcels of land may be vacated to allow better development of the property.
The street vacation process does not solve problems like parking disputes or vandalism. For that kind of nuisance, it's probably better - and easier - to work it out with your neighbors or report the problem to the City.
The Street Vacation Process
Vacating a street takes time, money, and work. The information provided below will help facilitate the street vacation process. Please be sure to read through each form carefully and complete the information requested.
This is not an "overnight" solution. Vacating a street is a lengthy process, especially if the problem is complex or controversial. And, it can take a lot of your time. Click here for the estimated Street Vacation Timeline.
You will be charged for the City's time and expenses to process the vacation. A non-refundable deposit must be paid when you file the signed and notarized petition with the City. If there are additional costs in excess of the non-refundable deposit, they must be paid prior to recording the Ordinance if the vacation is successful, or at the time the vacation process is discontinued.
There may be additional costs to you to meet conditions of the vacation, such as moving utilities or reconstructing an intersection.
In addition to leg work, getting a street vacated takes coordination and cooperation - with the City, other public agencies, and the affected property owners.
How the Process Works
Preliminary Investigation
The first move is yours. You can save yourself time and money if you do some investigating on your own. Click here to read our Vacating a Street Brochure.
If everything checks out, request a street vacation petition. For preparation of the petition, please contact the City of Portland by emailing email@example.com or by calling (503) 823-1372.
- City staff will prepare the petition including a map, and send it to you with instructions for collecting signatures.
- You must collect the signatures of:
- 100 percent of the property owners abutting the right-of-way you wish to vacate,
- The owner(s) of 2/3 of the property in the affected area as shown on the map we provide.
- 100 percent of the property owners abutting the right-of-way you wish to vacate,
- Submit the completed petition per the instructions of the petition.
Formal Investigation
Is there a public need for the right-of-way? Once the petition has been certified by the Auditor's Office, it is forwarded to the Right of Way Acquisition Section (RWA). RWA will send the request to City bureaus, the Planning and Sustainability Commission, other government agencies, utility companies, and neighborhood associations to see if there are any reasons - now or in the future - why the street shouldn't be vacated. There may or may not be objections to all or a part of the proposed street vacation.
The City Engineer will summarize the responses in a report and make a recommendation to the City Council.
You will receive a copy of the report to review. If you would like to proceed, simply sign and return the report to RWA.
Remember, there may be more costs if you have conditions to meet.
Public Hearing
Public opinion can affect the outcome.
- Streets are not vacated on our recommendation alone. City Council will hold a public hearing. Anyone can attend and comment on the proposed street vacation. After considering the testimony and our recommendation, City Council will make a decision.
- If the street vacation is approved, we will prepare an Ordinance to vacate the street right-of-way and send it back to City Council for final action.
Recording the Ordinance
The City has to take the final step. After the Ordinance passes, there is a 30-day waiting period. When the 30 days are up, all the conditions are met, and all the costs are paid, the City will send a certified copy of the Ordinance to be recorded in the County Deed Records. The street vacation is complete and the property will be added to the County tax assessment tolls.
If you think a street vacation may be the solution to your problem, call RWA at (503) 823-1372. We'll answer your questions and get you started. Or, if another course of action is better, we'll direct you to the agency that can help you.

Stephanie and her husband have a baby girl. They decided that she would pick the name if it was a boy and her husband got to pick the baby name if it was a girl. They stuck to the agreement and Stephanie just learned that their daughter's name, April, is also the name of a girl that her husband used to hook up with.
Slacker is very fond of his real name, of course Slacker is not his real name. His real name is Michael and he named his child Mckayla, pretty similar when spoken and he thinks that it's not a huge deal. But he thinks that if his wife found out if he slept with someone even remotely close to that name, his wife would freak.
What should Stephanie do?

|County applies for GOCO grant
|Written by Darci Tomky
Phillips County recently applied for a Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) grant to fund the Homesteaders Park renovation project, reported commissioners at their Tuesday, Aug. 31 meeting.
Commissioners were approached by Brooke Dirks, Michelle Vieselmeyer and Shannon Schlachter with plans for a new playground facility at the county fairgrounds. This park upgrade will be unique in that it is a universally accessible playground with features for all children, including those with disabilities.
No other playground of this kind can be found in northeast Colorado, so it will be a great addition to the community and surrounding areas.
Christine Fisher of Calhan, who was in Phillips County recently working on the Dragon's Wagon Preschool playground, wrote the grant for Phillips County. While it was submitted in August, the county won't get word on the approved funding until December.
The grant is approximately $370,000, an increase from what organizers were originally applying for. It requires a $37,000 cash match which was funded through donations.
In addition to the universally accessible playground, the project includes a small turf field and a frisbee golf course for Homesteaders Park.
Any additional donations could provide funds for a fence around the playground and lighting.
Another county project in the works is the construction of a new building at the landfill, a structure that will replace a building that was destroyed in a storm. A contract with Brasby Construction was signed for $16,810. Insurance will cover the majority of that cost, around $14,500, but not the entire cost since this building has been updated with some strengthening requirements.
Phillips County's 2009 audit report by Ronnie Farmer & Company of Lamar is back, and commissioners reported it looked extremely good and fund balances are in good shape.
Phillips County Assessor Doug Kamery has submitted his 2010 preliminary valuation for assessment, and commissioners noted it dropped 10.2 percent from the previous year. This $5,931,220 decrease is attributed to oil and gas production.
"This might make budgeting difficult," said county administrator Randy Schafer.
Three of four outgoing Phillips County Fair board members have been reappointed for three-year terms including Brent Vieselmeyer, Ron Thompson and Ken Ham. With a vacant seat left by Corey Koberstein, Gary McCallum was appointed to fill the Fair board spot for the remaining two years of the term.
Other business
In other business in the month of August, commissioners:
—approved a conditional use permit for a commercial truck wash nine miles south of Holyoke on Highway 385 for Dale, Randy and Rudy Haynes.
—renewed Blisties' liquor license.
—noted Black Raven Energy started drilling for natural gas in the Amherst area two weeks ago.
—reported everything is in compliance at the county landfill after an inspection by the State Department of Environmental Health.
—held a picnic for county employees Tuesday, Aug. 31.
—began looking for a county maintenance worker to fill the position Gale Wiebers will leave when he retires in October.
—started the process of hiring a CSU Extension agent to fill an empty spot. They have a job description for the family and consumer science/economic development agent and will begin advertising the job in September, hoping to have someone in place at the beginning of 2011.
—noted Laura Schroetlin is a new part-time employee in the Courthouse administration office.

Press Release: Service Employees International Union 1991
TALLAHASSEE - More than 100 doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers from Florida's largest public hospital - Jackson Health System in Miami - will join with other healthcare advocates from around the state to demand that the Florida Legislature approve a plan to take the federal money to expand healthcare.
Advocates reject the false choice offered by the current House plan, which covers fewer people, costs more money, and fails to shift the high cost of emergency care to lower cost primary care. They will call on lawmakers to incorporate elements of the Senate's plan.
What: Press conference in opposition to House healthcare expansion proposal
Where: State Capitol, 4th floor Rotunda, Senate side
When: Thursday, April 18 at 12PM
Who: SEIU 1991 President Martha Baker, RN, nurses and others telling tragic healthcare stories about their uninsured patients, Miami police officers, State Representative Jose Javier Rodriguez and other legislators supporting healthcare expansion

Office of Historic Preservation
Phone: (210) 215-9274
The purpose of a Viewshed Protection district is to establish regulations to
protect, preserve, and enhance views and vistas. The City of San
Antonio has many views and vistas of historic places, landmark
buildings, and other sites of cultural importance which have
always been important to the city. These views will continue to
be amenities and assets of great value to the city, its people,
and its economy. New development in the vicinity of these
important places is usually beneficial, but when construction
becomes too tall and begins to overwhelm or intrude, in scale
and mass, the main view or vista of a smaller place of
significance, then the viewshed located behind the significant
property should be protected. Viewshed Protection districts are
overlay districts that will be used primarily for unique
situations regarding views and vistas that are not adequately
covered by the standard zoning districts. No part of a new structure, sign, tower, roof top
equipment, or other appurtenance shall be permitted to encroach
into any designated viewshed as set forth in this ordinance
unless an encroachment was approved legally before the effective
date of the Viewshed Protection ordinance. If the maximum height
allowed in any zoning district within the city differs from the
height permitted by a protection district, the more restrictive
height limitation shall apply.

The Zimbra Desktop team has been putting together some very cool things recently!
In addition to your Zimbra accounts, they've worked to bundle aggregate account access for IMAP/POP3 & even gave easy configuration presets for connecting to your Ymail, Gmail, or AOLmail.
Webtide/Comet/Jetty have just about brought push email to the desktop; and as I'm typing this I just dragged a file into my Zimbra Desktop prism window where it seamlessly attached to my email. I also like to play with skins, and just tested out a change without connecting to one of my many test servers or firing up a full ZCS install on my laptop.
If you've seen our "Your Email: Anytime & Anyplace" ads you've gotten the chance to enter our free Mac contest, and we figured it's about time to let the community know about it:

I created CardDAV accounts for the addressbook.app of Mac OS X. According to Bug 46458 – CardDAV do not work on the non-default domains in Zimbra there is a bug when providing the domain part of the user name. As we have only one domain, I set the default domain by "zmprov mcf zimbraDefaultDomainName <domainname>".
By doing this, CardDAV sync works at least for my private contacts. However, I created another addressbook "company" which I share with other users.
How is it possible to include this one?
I tried to alter the setting for the default path (in Configuration.plist) to
https://zimbrahost:443/principals/us...domain/company but this did not work.
Is this path correct? Or should I use another one?

The junior forward was 8-of-10 from the field, dished out four assists and swatted away five shots.
"I thought he played well, but there is always more I would like him to do," DSU head coach Jon Judkins said in a postgame radio interview.
Dixie State improved to 1-0 on the young season after sophomore guard Mason Sawyer (West Jordan, UT/West Jordan) connected on six late free throws to keep the Mavericks (0-1) from completing a comeback from 14 points down midway through the second half.
Colorado Mesa scored the first five points of the game. After a 16-16 stalemate, Dixie State went on a 8-0 run with two free throws and successive 3-pointers from Louis Garrett (Saint George, UT/Pine View) and Sawyer. A late five-point spurt over the final minute, sparked by an alley-oop Robbins dunk from Kimball Payne (Alpine, UT/Lone Peak), pushed the Storm's lead to 49-38 at the break.
Dalton Groskreutz (Santa Clara, UT/Snow Canyon), Robbins and Garrett pushed the advantage to 14 points, 66-52, at the 10:51 mark of the second half.
Landon Vermeer from distance and Carlos Lopez from the paint led the CMU charge. A three-ball at the 2:29 mark from Vermeer put the Mavericks down by two. Two charity shots from Lopez in the final 30 seconds also brought the Mavs within two.
But it would be the containment of CMU's pressure and Sawyer's half-dozen free throws giving Dixie enough of a winning cushion.
Dixie State shot 55.2-percent from the floor (32-58) and 46-percent from beyond the arc (6-13) for the game. Garrett off the bench finished with 17 points, Groskreutz had 14 points, and the duo of DeQuan Thompson (Las Vegas, NV/Lake Mead Christian Academy) and Sawyer each chipped in 11 points.
Vermeer led all scorers with 20 points for CMU, including six 3-pointers. Ryan Stephan scored 17 points all in the first half while Perez notched all of his 16 points after halftime.
Dixie State closes out its opening weekend with an exhibition against St. Katherine College on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

I agreeQuote:
I don't think he doped- He was tested and never came back positive. Everyone here acts like everyone in cycling takes performance enhancers. I don't think that is true. I raced USCF 14 seasons a long time ago- there's always been talk of pros doping- many have been tested and been caught. That's why they test. If he was tested again and again for stimulants and never tested positive, I don't see how ANY speculative testimony could convict him otherwise- it's all conjecture, and it could all be motivated by money or some kinds of grudge. This isn't due process, it's nonsense.
Cocaine? I did coke once before a short criterium- not to improve my performance, but because I was traveling with a girl and it was a holiday and just for partying kicks. Not a whole lot- it's EXPENSIVE. It was hot that day-in the 90's and I liked to have died- Felt REALLY BAD- not good for the heat at all- It was long before Len Bias, the basketball player who died of heart failure on coke.
I don't know much about doping these days- if they can really test for steroids. I noticed the term "Blood doping" was being bantered about in the L.A. Times- I'm not sure we're even all talking about the same thing. Back in the day 'Blood doping" was not using stimulants- that was just plain "doping" "Blood doping" was taking one's own blood before an event- and usually an event at high altitude, and, with a centrifuge, skimming off only the red cells, that carry oxygen, and then injecting that back in- the effect to carry more oxygen in the blood. I think back in the '70's it was illegal but undetectable, so there were always rumors, mostly about the Olympics and the Pros- it's a complicated thing.
Is this part of the charges? Dunno. Can't tell from the sketchy news articles, and haven't followed it for years.
I think there is something else going on here- sounds almost like extortion or blackmail, or someone wants to just make sensationalist example- which is sure a sign of these times!
It's too bad- I just hate to see due process so obviously stepped all over.

Can't Spare a Square

Seinfeld, features an episode called The Stall, wherein Elaine asks a woman next to her in the bathroom to pass some toilet paper. Do you remember it? All you can see on the screen are the stalls and their feet. The woman guardedly replies, "no, I'm sorry. I can't spare it. There is not enough to spare." Elaine pleads with her, "just 3 squares will do it," to which the woman replies, 'I don't have 3 squares. I don't have a square to spare... I can't spare a square!" Absurd, insane and silly, but not if the toilet paper is a metaphor for TIME.
I recently ran my own little experiment to determine aptitude of individuals to spare 5 minutes of their time, my hypothesis being: even the easiest of task being requested is viewed as too burdensome and ends up going ignored. I sent a simple request to 200 people: read a 1-2 page article, go online and add a one-sentence comment about it, and then pass it along to one other person to do the same. (Think the tag-line from an old shampoo commercial, "And they'll tell two friends… and so on… and so on.) Instead, only 19 people responded.
These results are completely what I anticipated. Whether you work full-time, work part-time, don't work, raise a family, take care of an elder or simply have no responsibilities, people don't have the time AND energy to deal with all the information gathering, data collection, knowledge sharing. The Families and Work Institute wrote in Overwork in America: When the Way We Work Becomes Too Much, "there is little question that the way Americans work and live has changed in recent years. The fast-paced, global 24/7 economy, the pressures of competition, and technology have blurred the traditional boundaries between work life and home life. Furthermore, this new economy calls for new skills—skills like responding quickly to competing demands and jumping from task to task. In response, the topic of being overworked has become a hot subject of discussion in workplaces, in the media, in medical journals, and in homes."

By Thomas Ferraro and Richard Cowan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A White House-backed bill to renew jobless benefits for 1.3 million Americans narrowly cleared a U.S. Senate Republican procedural roadblock on Tuesday.
On a largely party-line vote of 60-37 – 60 were needed to prevail – the Democratic-led Senate agreed to begin consideration of the measure, which would extend recently ended benefits for three months at a cost of $6 billion.
The Senate may vote later this week on whether to approve the bill and send it to the Republican-led House of Representatives, where it may die unless there is a deal to cover the cost without increasing the federal debt.
At the White House, President Barack Obama praised the Senate for moving forward and urged swift passage so he could sign the emergency legislation into law.
"We've got to get this across the finish line without obstruction or delay," said Obama, joined by some of the long-term unemployed, including Katherine Hackett of Moodus, Connecticut. She has two sons in the military and has had to turn down the heat in her home to make ends meet.
"When we've got the mom of two of our troops who's working hard out there but is having to wear a coat inside of the house, we've got a problem," Obama said.
House Speaker John Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, noted that he told the White House a month ago that any renewal of jobless benefits "should not only be paid for but include something to help put people back to work."
"To date, the president has offered no such plan," Boehner said in a statement.
The action kicks off what is certain to be an election-year battle over the growing gap between rich and poor.
Obama has signaled that he intends to make combating income inequality a hallmark of his second term by seeking to extend jobless benefits, increase the minimum wage, raise funding for education and revamp immigration laws.
Polls have long shown that Americans view Republicans as less compassionate toward the poor and working class than their Democratic counterparts.
Seeking to address this vulnerability, prominent Republicans such as Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, both potential White House contenders, plan to publicly discuss their ideas for fighting poverty this week.
The Senate bill would extend for three months the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, which ended on December 28 when funding expired, stopping benefits for 1.3 million Americans.
Unless the program is renewed, an additional 2 million are expected to lose their benefits in the first six months of this year.
Signed into law in 2008 by Republican President George W. Bush, the program last year provided the jobless an average of $300 per week for an additional 28 weeks once state benefits ended.
The bill was offered by Democratic Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island and Republican Senator Dean Heller of Nevada.
Heller and five fellow Republicans joined 52 Democrats and two independents in voting to advance the bill. Backers may face another roadblock when they move to end debate and vote on passage.
Republican Senator Dan Coats of Indiana, asked why he voted to begin consideration of the measure, said, "It's one of those issues that goes directly to people that are hurting."
Republican Senator Mark Kirk of Illinois said he voted no despite a personal call from Obama. He explained that he is concerned because the bill contains no offsets and could end up hurting the nation's and his state's credit ratings.
"It's not unusual for the president to call me to ask for liberal votes," Kirk said. "I remain a fiscal conservative and he knows that."
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell skewered Democrats for their "fervor" in seeking an extension of jobless benefit, noting that "they ignored the issue all of last year" and are only making a concerted effort now that the federal help has expired.
McConnell also suggested that the cost of extending the jobless program be covered with cuts in Obama's landmark and troubled healthcare program.
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid made it clear that such cuts would be a non-starter since, he insisted, they would further hurt, not help, the American people.

The sinuses are hollow areas in the skull that are arranged in pairs. Sinusitis occurs when the tissue lining the sinuses in the skull around the nose (the paranasal sinuses) becomes inflamed and infected. Sinusitis usually occurs with inflammation in the nasal passages (rhinitis). When they occur together, it is called rhinosinusitis. The infections are categorized by the length of time symptoms are present:
Acute sinusitis can be caused by viral infections, bacterial infections, or other causes.
Acute bacterial sinusitis may be caused by any number of bacteria, including:
These are all bacteria that are often found in the nose and throat of healthy people and which cause other common conditions, such as
ear infections. A viral upper respiratory infection such as a cold often occurs just before developing a bacterial infection.
Certain other bacteria and fungi, such as
Aspergillus, can be a cause of chronic sinusitis.
Sinusitis starts with swelling of the nasal and sinus passages. Tiny hairs called cilia usually move constantly to help shift mucus out of the sinuses. With sinusitis, these hairs stop working as well as they should. Both the swelling and lack of movement from cilia make it difficult for mucus to move out of the sinuses. This buildup of mucus and air create the pressure and pain associated with sinusitis. It also creates a nice place for bacteria and viruses to grow.
Sinusitis is an extremely common problem. In a given year, about 37 million Americans suffer from sinusitis.

Just a heads up in case anyone else runs into this. We recently upgraded to Zimbra 7 NE. One of my users has an LG Ally, which suddenly stopped syncing (contacts, calendar, and e-mail). It also asked you to accept giving the mail provider access to remotely wipe the phone. Accepting makes no difference.
Easy fix is to disable mobile policy under the users account under admin.
Just figured I'd share the solution in case anyone else runs into this.

Re-Cycled Collaborative Art: Back To School Collage Using Catalogs and Back to School Advertisements
The girls made this adorable "Waiting For the Bus"collage last week.
They are very excited about heading back to school!
They cut up a back-to-school kid's clothing catalog.
Our Hanna Andersson Catalog had all of these cute kids with adorable backpacks and
lunch boxes.
They worked together on it and it was the cutest thing ever
to see my two little girls working side-by-side on a collaborative art project.
"E" (age 7) did most of the drawing but "C" (age 3) got to help brainstorm ideas,
pick people to cut out, color, and glue down the photos.
Mom sat down with them and did a bit of coloring and cutting herself. We all had a lot of fun.
Such a fun way to use up all of those back to school newspaper flyers,
How fun would this be for a back to school project
(or a first week of school) group project for a bulletin board display?
The girls have planned our next pictures to be be a classroom and recess.

Hooker Maximum Flow Straight-Through Mufflers - Pipe It UpWritten by on August 1, 2010 Project Fox Moves One Step Closer To Completion As We Install A Custom 3.5-Inch Dual Exhaust System For Under $300.
Any time you hang a fresh set of pipes beneath your floorboards, it's a very good day. Foreshadowing the burbly flow of cackling hydrocarbons that's about to ensue, it's a welcome sign that your project car is chugging down the home stretch toward completion. With the motor, trans, rearend, fuel system, suspension, rollcage, and cooling system already in place in our street/strip '93 Mustang project, we're itching to let it rip down the track. Since plans call for driving it 100 miles to the dragstrip and back, the auditory fury unleashed by its 532 ci and 273/280-at-.050 cam need to be tamed just enough to avoid unwanted attention. As with most engine swaps, however, routing fumes from the headers to the car's posterior isn't a mail-order affair. In the case of Project Fox, the situation is compounded by a rather large TH400 trans and beefy chromoly driveshaft that gobbles up lots of real estate in the trans tunnel, and a diminutive late-model chassis never intended to have massive dual 3.5-inch pipes crammed beneath it. Fortunately for us, the talented fabricators at Bill Buck Race Cars in Austin, Texas, were ready to take on the challenge.
The prevailing theme thus far with Project Fox has been keeping things simple and cheap, and designing a custom exhaust system was no exception. The setup we settled upon consists of 3 1/2-inch piping coming off of each header, and a pair of Hooker Maximum Flow straight-through mufflers dumping into turndowns positioned in front of the rearend. Much of the design was a product of necessity, as the space beneath the floorboards was further encroached by Project Fox's custom subframe connectors, heavy-duty drag sway bar, and the back bracing affixed to the rearend. Consequently, bends and kinks are virtually non-existent-which actually cut down on the installation time-and running the tailpipes over the rearend housing wasn't feasible. Compensating for the fact that a lack of over-axle pipes greatly increases the potential for annoying freeway resonance, we opted to run large oval mufflers instead of resonators. At the end of the day, the entire system was completed in about four hours, ringing up a tally of under $300.
Muffler Design Mufflers reduce exhaust noise through the use of absorptive materials, such as fiberglass, or with noise deflection chambers. Each technique has its advantages and disadvantages. Absorptive mufflers convert sound waves into heat energy, typically flow slightly better than chambered designs, and are less prone to resonance. The drawback is that their ability to reduce noise is compromised as the packing material begins to burn out. To combat this, Hooker uses high-temperature-resistant ceramic wool insulation, and some manufacturers rely on stainless steel insulation. Chambered muffler designs, on the other hand, won't burn out, but are more likely to resonate. For the best of both worlds, some designs use both chambers and sound-absorbing insulation. -Stephen Kim
Lots of tough guys ditch their mufflers for resonators, only to bolt their mufflers back on after realizing that they aren't so tough after all. Technically speaking, mufflers and resonators are both sound attenuation devices, so in that regard they're one in the same, however, resonators are marketed as round and compact devices while mufflers are perceived as being larger and more substantial. Other than size, the primary difference between the two is how much they reduce noise. Resonators typically quiet exhaust volume by 4-6 dB, while mufflers reduce noise by over 20 dB. Consequently, due to their small size and low mass, resonators are popular in racing classes where mufflers are mandatory. On the other hand, for street applications, resonators emit almost as much noise as having no mufflers at all. If space permits, resonators are very effective in reducing resonance when used in conjunction with mufflers. While resonators would've been much easier to fit beneath Project Fox, it was well worth the effort to make space for mufflers since Project Fox will definitely see some street time.

The easiest way to neck down the inlets and outlets on a muffler is by welding on a reducer cone. The downside is that they're hard to find in a 4- to 3 1/2-inch diameter, and cost $25-$35 a pop. Being the skilled welder that he is, Buck narrowed down the existing sections of tubing on the mufflers by making a series of cuts around the circumference of the inlets and outlets. They were then tapped with a hammer down to a 3 1/2-inch inside diameter, and welded back together.On the driver side, the clearance between the intermediate pipe and trans crossmember was super tight. The simplest and most economical solution was flattening the top of the pipe ever so slightly to buy an extra 1/8 inch of clearance.Measuring 14x10 1/4 inches, finding a home for the mufflers was no easy feat. Buck tucked them into the floorboard right in front of the rearend. The intermediate pipes for most off-the-shelf Fox Mustang exhaust systems are routed inside the trans tunnel. Nevertheless, the stock tunnel simply isn't large enough to house a 3 1/2-inch driveshaft, a TH400 trans, and dual 3 1/2-inch pipes. Consequently, they were routed straight back from the header collectors to the mufflers at a slightly upward angle to maximize ground clearance.Turndowns are another insubstantial yet pricey item that can cost $50 each. Buck made them himself by slicing a 3 1/2-inch, 90-degree U-bend right in the middle of the radius, and welding it onto the mufflers. When welding aluminized steel, Buck suggests grinding the protective coating off of the areas of piping that will be joined together, which also removes grease and machine oil.Before welding the muffler onto the back of the intermediate pipe, Buck prefers tack welding the front of the pipe to the header collector. This affords more flexibility in positioning the intermediate pipe at just the right angle before welding on the collector flange. Note the miniscule distance between the muffler case and subframe connector.While there was no clearance issue between the piping and crossmember on the passenger side of the car, the floorboard had to be massaged slightly in the rear footwell area. This is the luxury you have when building a dime a dozen, late-model street/strip machine opposed to a mega-buck '69 Camaro show car.By nature, turndowns bounce exhaust pulses right at the pavement, which can potentially rattle your floorboards. To minimize this effect, Buck positioned them at a 45-degree angle. One of the benefits of installing an exhaust on a two-post lift is that it allows the rearend to rest at full droop. This exaggerates any potential clearance issues, which provides a safety buffer once the car is resting at ride height.With the completed exhaust system in place, the lowest point on the entire car is the header collectors. We skipped on an H-pipe option for now, since hitting our 9-second e.t. goal is more of a matter of traction than horsepower.

Federal authorities say two men who ran a drug operation responsible for bringing in hundreds of kilos of cocaine into Eastern Carolina counties are headed to prison.
U.S. Attorney Thomas Walker announced today in Greenville that Renato Torres-Eguino received a sentence of almost 20 years, while co-defendant Jorge Acosta-Muro was sentenced to 22-1/2 years in prison.
The two were indicted by a federal grand jury last October and they pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute cocaine in December. The feds say from 2001 to 2011, Torres-Eguino was responsible for delivering approximately 1,000 kilos of cocaine to Eastern Carolina.
Investigators say Torres-Eguino, who lived in Arizona, delivered monthly multi-kilo shipments to Sergio Estupinan in Richmond. They say Estupinan would then deliver the cocaine to Acosta-Muro, who lived in Pamlico County. The feds say the coke would end up in Pitt, Pamlico, Craven, Beaufort and Lenoir counties.
The investigation known as Operation "No Quarter" was designed to attack the infrastructure of the Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTO), including those of the Los Zetas, La Familia, Gulf and Sinaloa drug cartels, operating not only in the Eastern District of North Carolina, but throughout North Carolina, the United States and Mexico.
As part of this ongoing investigation, authorities say over 90 people have been indicted is federal and state courts. They say $1.5 million in cash, 127 kilos of cocaine with a street value of $3.8 million dollars, 41 pounds of crystal methamphetamine with a street value of $650,000, 160 lbs of marijuana with a street value of $170,000, 32 grams of heroin, 35 firearms and 35 real properties valued at $1.5 million were seized by law enforcement authorities.

|Large crowd turns out for Country Christmas
|Written by Chris Lee
The weather couldn't have been any better. There was a slight nip in the air, but compared to a year ago, Monday night's Dec. 3 Country Christmas and Parade of Lights was paradise.
High winds earlier in the day calmed not long before activities downtown began. Following a kids' movie, which nearly 40 enjoyed at the Peerless Theatre, a large crowd gathered on the northwest corner of the Phillips County Courthouse lawn in anticipation of Santa's reindeer.
Kyle and Holly Hendrix of Wray had two of their reindeer on display and they proved to be one of the main attractions of the evening. The two reindeer jingled and jangled as onlookers snapped photos, talked with the owners and beefed up their knowledge on reindeer.
These two reindeer were the town celebrities Monday night, Dec. 3 during the Holyoke Chamber of Commerce's annual Country Christmas and Parade of Lights. Large crowds gathered all evening, with eager eyes catching a glimpse of the marvelous creatures. Hundreds of photographs were snapped by interested onlookers.
—Enterprise photo
The attraction was such a hit that Chamber of Commerce executive director Mary Tomky said she has already booked them to visit Holyoke during next year's celebration.
Santa and Mrs. Claus met with children at the Vet's Hall where members of Holyoke's FBLA chapter snapped 64 photographs.
Holyoke's volunteer firemen served approximately 475 people a tasty soup supper. Freewill donations will help HVFD with the 2013 4th of July fireworks display.
After Santa led children to the stoplight in Holyoke, he grabbed one lucky youngster who helped flip on the city's Christmas lights. After the streets had been lit, the 15th annual Parade of Lights commenced with a nice display of floats.

Phillips County Museum saw about 35 visit while enjoying some cookies and beverages.
During the soup supper, people entered their guesses in the Jolly Dozen FCE guessing game. Winning were youth Emily Anderson who missed the actual 141 amount by one, 140. Sara Ring won the adult guess, hitting it right on the head with 128.
Throughout the evening, residents frequented numerous downtown establishments—some of which were offering special treats and warm beverages for people to enjoy.

(WUSA) -- Washington Animal Rescue League has a new pet of the week and with his short-haired head and long-haired body, Rock n Pop has a look all his own.
WARL says the three-year-old Chihuahua arrived at the Washington Animal Rescue League in late August. He was one of 265 dogs rescued from an Ohio puppy mill where they lived in cramped wire cages and pens, covered in their own waste and without access to veterinary care or proper socialization.
Many of the dogs suffered from skin irritations, eye infections and severe flea infestations. But thanks to the dedicated efforts of the League's veterinary and behavioral staffs, these brave little survivors are putting their past behind them.
Rock n Pop is still timid but obviously wants to interact: he stands on his hind legs and waves his front paws when people walk by his den. Once he gets your attention, he'll give gentle licks in return for soothing scratching and petting.
After all he's been through, Rock n Pop deserves to start a new life in a quiet, patient, loving adult home of his own...could that be yours?
For information on how to see Rock n Pop or how to adopt him, visit warl.org.

text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor The City of Grant is requesting that all residents trim the trees and bushes along their alley as far back as the lot line. The garbage truck is being damaged by tree branches, some that hang out as far as four or five feet into the alley. The city alleys are 20 feet wide, which provide adequate room for large vehicles if trees are trimmed properly. Trees need to be trimmed to 15 feet above the ground in order to prevent damage toward the top of the garbage truck as it passes by. Residents can conveniently dispose of the trimmed branches at the city dump area located west of the Perkins County Fairgrounds in the southwest part of Grant. City officials also remind residents who live on a corner lot to trim their trees and bushes to provide adequate visibility at the intersections to reduce chances of an accident. Stop signs and street signs need to be visible and easy to read from a distance. Fire hydrants should also be easy to locate in the event of a fire in a neighborhood within city limits. City officials hope residents will voluntarily take on the task of trimming back the trees and bushes that line the alleys. If the growth is not trimmed properly, the city will send a letter of notification to the resident and they will have 60 days to clear the designated portion of the alley. According to the city's code book (94.094): The city shall have the right to prune, maintain and remove trees and shrubs within the line of all streets and alleys. Removal or trimming shall be done by the owners at their own expense within sixty (60) days after the date of service of the notice. If the owner fails to comply with such provisions the city shall have the authority to remove such trees and charge the cost of removal on the owner's property tax notice. Anyone with any questions about the city's code or about the guidelines of trimming back trees and shrubs may contact Grant City Hall at 352-2300.

Pasco County, Florida -- Jennifer Odom's murder has been that unsolved case that has stumped investigators for 20 years and recently once again.
Related: Investigators end search for murder clues at Lake Jovita
Investigators didn't find the blue pickup truck in Lake Jovita in Pasco County that witnesses believe was driven by Jennifer's abductor.
"Even I say a little prayer the family will someday have peace and find out who did this get closure to it," said former Hernando County Commissioner Tony Mosca.
He said he prays every time as he drives along Powell Road the spot where 12-year-old Jennifer Odom's body was found 20 years ago in Hernando County.
"It was heartbreaking. It really was. I thought they would find her alive."
Mosca said, even today, many still can't believe a child would be abducted in a rural area.
"Children getting off buses was nothing. So to think some stranger happened to be coming down this road, see Jennifer, and abduct her seems so far fetched," recalled Mosca.
But investigators say that's what happened on Feb. 19, 1993, the day Jennifer disappeared as she walked home from her bus stop along Jim Denney Road in Pasco County.
"I did notice parents keeping children on a shorter leash. That anything could happen," said Mosca.
Twenty years later, Jennifer's parents still live in the same home. Jennifer's room remains almost as she left it and hanging from the lamppost in the front yard, their family names are listed: parents Clark and Renee and sisters Jennifer and Jessica.
Mosca hopes investigators will one day get the break they need that will answer many prayers.
"They [investigators] are just going to prove they [the suspect(s)] are going to get caught and time is on the law enforcement's side. That if they keep pursuing it, they're going to get the results everyone wants -- catch the bad guy."
Even though investigators didn't get the break they were looking for, the search for Jennifer's killer, or killers, will continue. The Hernando County Sheriff's Office has assigned a full time detective to the case but as Jennifer's step-father told 10 News, each new lead turns into an emotional roller coaster ride for the family.

Atlanta, GA, July 25, 2013 - It seems that everywhere you call, youll hear the exact same message, XXR wheels are on a nationwide backorder.

When ONeil and Fouse entered the tire business, there were more than 300 companies making tires. ONeil made the decision to bypass the original equipment (OE) market and focus on a premium replacement tire. The oversized General Jumbo was born and additionally, the duo focused on pneumatic truck tires. It wasnt long before the company formed a team of devoted independent dealers who were tenacious, aggressive and business savvy. It was this group who positioned the General brand as the unquestioned premium tire producer in the field.
In the mid-1920s, General Tires engineering team revolutionized the tire manufacturing industry when they invented the low-pressure General Balloon Jumbos. Requiring only 12 pounds of air pressure, the Balloon Jumbos were the first of several new ideas including the blowout-proof Dual Balloon, Dual 8, Dual 10, Squeegee, and Dual 90. It was this kind of innovation and technology that continued to position the General brand as one of the industrys best.
Focus on Truck Tires - In 1928 General Tire established themselves as a major player in the truck tire manufacturing game with the invention of the rubber flaps for truck tires. Then in 1931, Generals team of ambitious engineers created a complete line of low pressure truck tire balloons. Two big steps in the evolution of the truck tire. An agreement in 1934 placed General Tire on International Harvesters approved OE list bolstering the companys growing truck tire business. A few years later, in 1937, General Tire was on the OE list of all major truck manufacturers. These marquee moments opened the door for the ambitious General Tire dealers in the replacement and retreading sales segments.
Growth Spurt - General Tire went International in 1930 when they incorporated in Mexico with a wholly owned subsidiary, The General Tire & Rubber Company, S.A., of Mexico. This would be where the companys distinctive International business would grow. The following year, General Tire acquired a 50-percent interest in Aldora Mills, a tire fabric manufacturing operation out of Barnesville, GA. And by 1937, full ownership of the factory signaled the expansion of General Tires domestic tire investment necessitated by an astonishing increase in vehicle registration across the US.
By the mid-1940s, the U.S. faced a critical tire shortage due to World War II. General Tire, along with other manufacturers, agreed to help and selected Waco, TX as the site for its second U.S. facility. In what was the industrys most modern plant, tire production began in November of 1944.
Entry into the passenger car OE market in 1955, first as a General Motors supplier and later for other major automobile manufacturers, presented a critical need for more modern and efficient plants. For quality assurance, the worlds largest tire test track was built in Uvalde, Texas in 1959 followed by the addition of a third domestic plant in 1960 in Mayfield, KY.
General Tires fourth and fifth plants were added in 1967. A giant facility in Bryan, OH as well as an automobile and truck tire facility in Charlotte, NC. Finally, in 1973, General Tires sixth plant began operations in Mt. Vernon, IL with full radial tire production capabilities. Following this wave of plant openings, General Tire closed the doors to its original, and obsolete, plant in Akron, OH in 1983. Three years later brought the closure of the Waco, TX facility in 1986.
Continued Innovation As the years progressed so did technology, and General Tires team of scientists were at the forefront of the tire industry. In 1943 they solved a 40-year industry problem with the discovery of the carbon black latex-mixing masterbatch principle. The team demonstrated their worth again in 1949 with the invention of oil-extended rubber a synthetic rubber tenstrike which was patented in 1960. Their Gen-Tac adhesive was the answer for tire cord, and they were awarded patents for Nygen tire fabric, radial tire building machines, and a method (and machine) for improving performance characteristics of pneumatic tires.
In addition to its growth in the tire business, General Tire branched out into businesses that included aerospace and defenses, entertainment and broadcasting, chemicals/plastics, and industrial products.
Evolution The shareholders of General Tire & Rubber Company proposed a change of names to GenCorp and the establishment of GenCorp Inc. as the parent holding company. On March 29, 1984 this proposal went into effect and a subsequent restructuring of the company exited the tire business by divesting General Tire. In early 1987 Continental AG of Hanover, Germany, expressed an interest in purchasing General Tire and on October 30, 1987 the sale of General Tire to Continental AG from GenCorp was finalized.
Who We Are Today Today, General Tire continues the tradition of offering a complete line of quality, ultra-high performance, passenger, light truck, off-road, and commercial tires. While the General Tire engineering team continues to develop state-of-the-art technologies such as Duragen, 3D Sipe, and Monitor Technology, the red letter GrabberTM continues to be the trademark of the General Tire brand.
The Mt. Vernon, IL plant continues to operate building over three million General tires a year. The test track in Uvalde is also in full operation and is unsurpassed in its ground-breaking elements. General Tire is part of Continental Tire the Americas, LLC and is based in Fort Mill, SC. With sales of 30.5 billion in 2011, Continental is among the leading automotive suppliers worldwide. As a supplier of brake systems, systems and components for powertrains and chassis, instrumentation, infotainment solutions, vehicle electronics, tires and technical elastomers, Continental contributes to enhanced driving safety and global climate protection. Continental is also an expert partner in networked automobile communication. Continental currently has approximately 169,000 employees in 46 countries.

The on-again, off-again July 4th debate between disbarred Miami attorney Jack Thompson and gamer/attorney Mark Methenitis is apparently back on.
The debate, planned for this weekend's SGC09 in Dallas, went off the rails rather suddenly yesterday morning when Thompson complained to event host Screw Attack (and cc'd GamePolitics) that:
- he objected to a one- or two-line introduction ("I have never been introduced with 1 or 2 sentences. Nobody can be introduced in that fashion…")
- he objected to a user-created parody video posted (and since removed) on the Screw Attack site; Thompson may have believed the video, "Questions Not to Ask Jack Thompson" at SGC," was official Screw Attack content
After posting a story detailing Thompson's assertion that he was canceling his appearance, GamePolitics rather unexpectedly found itself in the middle of a day-long flurry of e-mails between Screw Attack personnel and Thompson. Event organizers were clearly seeking to assuage Thompson's concerns and salvage the debate. By late Tuesday afternoon, it appeared that Thompson, who is apparently under contract and being paid $2,000 for his appearance, was softening his position after receiving assurances from Screw Attack Program Director Craig Skistimas.
As recently as this morning, however, Thompson demanded that a post by a Screw Attack user be removed. While it was not taken down, the author, who was also behind the parody video that Thompson found offensive, e-mailed the disbarred attorney a lengthy apology; that seemed to satisfy Thompson.
Next, Thompson e-mailed Skistimas a "proposed text" to be used as his introduction at the debate. The 12-sentence intro mentioned his 2008 lifetime disbarment very briefly, referring to it as "illegal" and blaming the loss of his law license on "lawyers for Take-Two, the makers of the Grand Theft Auto games."
GP asked Skistimas whether the introduction would actually be used at SGC09. Skistimas told us, "I have yet to review his intro but Jack and I will work together to find an intro that fits both his needs and the time format of the debate at SGC."
A conference call between Thompson and the Screw Attack team planned for noon today was canceled when the parties decided in late morning that the debate was back on and Thompson was satisified.
Skistimas also said that the site would release a video tomorrow to reinforce the fact that Thompson will appear at SGC09.
