The Kansas City Plant celebrated yet another milestone at the National Security Campus with a recent visit from NNSA's Steve Goodrum, Assistant Deputy Administrator for Stockpile Management.
Employees gathered to celebrate the delivery of the continuous and seamless W76-1 Fireset and AF&F production capability throughout the move to the National Security Campus. Being one of the first production areas to move, the team partnered with NNSA and Sandia National Laboratories to identify and procure equipment, tooling, fixtures and gauges in time to support dual operations during relocation.
The effort included:
• 300+ items totaling more than $13 million procured and relocated without incident,
• 10 testers moved and four new testers built, and
• 72 large pieces of equipment spanning across seven different departments moved.
Goodrum spoke about the importance of the work done at KCP as the first facility to pick up and move within the National Security Enterprise and congratulated employees on their efforts on executing on commitments while keeping safety and security a priority.
The National Security Campus is a significant part of DOE's shift to a more efficient 21st century Nuclear Security Enterprise. The modern campus showcases innovation and cost savings, highlighted by environmentally friendly features and space management.
In January, KCP began the complex task of moving manufacturing, laboratory and office equipment from its current location at the Bannister Federal Complex. Over the 19-month relocation schedule, about 3,000 truckloads will transport more than 2,800 pieces of equipment ranging from desk size to tractor trailer size. Estimates are that the entire move will use 30,000 crates – which if stacked would be more than five times the height of Mount Everest.

Sandia National Laboratories recently hosted the seventh annual Western National Robot Rodeo and Capability Exercise, a five-day event that brought together civilian and military bomb squad teams from across the country to see who can most effectively defuse dangerous situations with the help of robots.

Pantexans showed their community spirit last week when employees, along with their families and friends, volunteered their time at two local nonprofit organizations.
More than 40 volunteers came to an event called America Supports You, Texas to assemble care packages for our troops in Afghanistan. America Supports You, Texas was founded in 2005 to create awareness and support for active military men and women, as well as veterans in our area. More than 200 boxes filled with snacks, personal care items and books were mailed overseas the next morning.
Another group of Pantexans and their families went to the High Plains Food Bank to lend a hand with its community garden. The garden was severely damaged in hail storms last month. The majority of the garden's produce benefits children and afterschool programs throughout the year.
The garden has only two full-time employees and relies heavily on volunteers to help out. With the help of the Pantexan volunteers, the garden is expected to recover and produce fruits and vegetables well into the fall season.
Nonprofit organizations received more than $180,000 from Los Alamos National Security (LANS), LLC, during a recent recognition event in Los Alamos.
LANS contributions are determined by the number of volunteer hours logged by Los Alamos National Laboratory employees and retirees through a web-based organization called VolunteerMatch and through the Los Alamos Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP).

NNSA's Sequoia supercomputer, housed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is now listed as the third fastest supercomputer in the world according to the industry-standard Top500 list.
Sequoia, which recently completed its transition to classified computing in support of NNSA's Stockpile Stewardship Program, helps ensure the safety, security and effectiveness of the nation's aging nuclear weapons stockpile without the use of underground testing. Sequoia was first delivered in 2011 and has achieved 17.17 petaflops on the Linpack benchmark using 1,572,864 cores. Sequoia is also one of the most energy efficient systems on the list, consuming a total of 7.84 MW and delivering 2,031.6 Mflops/W.
Vulcan made its first appearance on the Top500 list at No. 8. DOE and NNSA have four supercomputers in the first 10 of the Top500.

The Nevada Field Office (NFO) and its contract partner, the National Security Technologies (NSTec) Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) Aviation Department, have received the 2012 U.S. Department of Energy Jeff Snow Aviation Program Memorial Award. This is the fifth time in nine years that the NFO team has been recognized as the most outstanding DOE aviation program. Operating out of Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas and Joint Base Andrews, the NFO team provides aerial support to NNSA's Office of Emergency Response.
Les Winfield, NFO Aviation Manager, received the 2012 DOE Federal Aviation Management Professional Award. He is recognized for providing outstanding management and oversight of the NSTec RSL Aerial Measuring System operations at Nellis and Andrews.
James Williams, Director of Maintenance for WSI-SRS Aviation Operations Department at the Savannah River Site, is the recipient of the 2012 John Cooley Aviation Operations/Support Professional Memorial Award. His outstanding management and leadership skills created a safe and efficient work environment, as well as ensured all maintenance technicians were well trained and knowledgeable in all aspects of the aircraft at Savannah River.
Tim Rourke, NFO Aviation Safety Officer, won the 2012 DOE Aviation Safety Professional Award. Rourke's approach to safety and risk management of both ground and flight safety issues provided an objective assessment of program operational risks to NSTec senior managers. He recommended mitigation controls to reduce risks to the lowest practical level to permit aircrews to perform their critical national security mission.
The awards were announced by the DOE Office of Aviation Management -- each recipient will be honored at a ceremony in Alexandria, Va., on July 18.
Civic organization Los Barrios de Amarillo honored B&W Pantex for its "Outstanding Community Service" this weekend. Los Barrios recognized B&W Pantex for its support of the "Step Up To Success" program, which connects young people with professionals in a variety of career fields that the students may want to pursue. Debra Halliday, community relations coordinator, accepted the award on behalf of the company. Halliday is joined in the photo by Los Barrios officials, from left, Historian Geo Cruz, Vice President Zeke Castro and President Sarena San Miguel.
At the recent ASM International Materials Camp, sixteen students got to check out almost a half-million dollars' worth of lab equipment – including a precision cutoff saw, hot mounting press, specimen polisher, and scanning electron microscope. The week-long camp is hosted by Y-12, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tech 2020 and UT Knoxville, and is designed to expose students to materials science.
The participants learned how to prepare material samples for prosthetic implants, and then used a state-of-the-art optical microscope and digital imaging to identify signs of material failure. Y-12 engineer Steve Dekanich, who co-chairs the camp, remarked on the students' ability to quickly master the advanced equipment.
About the photos:(Left) Student Patricia Edou loads a material sample into an Hitachi electron microscope while fellow student, Justin Zanoni, prepares another sample.(Right) Student Hunter Stombaugh loads a material sample into the Saphir 550.3, a laboratory instrument used to grind and polish samples before placing them in an electron microscope for analysis.
The Aiken County Robotics Team "M'Aiken Magic" was recently revived after receiving $10,000 in donations from Savannah River Nuclear Solutions. The team comprises local middle school and high school students who work in groups to build robots capable of completing specified tasks. Competing in regional, state and world competitions, the students gain valuable experience as well as exposure to scientific and engineering concepts.
Last year, despite winning a world championship, the team lost almost half of its funding and multiple sponsors. SRNS President Dwayne Wilson explained that the donation, in addition to supporting local students, is an investment in the next generation of engineers, technicians and scientists.
The annual Laboratory Directed Research and Development program update was held this week in Washington, D.C. Experts from NNSA, Nevada National Security Site and Sandia, Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos national laboratories attended and shared insights on successful projects and ongoing research. This year's highlighted subject areas were Materials in Extremes, Big Data to Decisions, and Energy Use Impacts and Mitigation.
Keynote remarks were presented by:
Robert Meisner, Director, NNSA Laboratory Directed Research and Development/Site Directed Research and Development ProgramsWilliam Priedhorsky, LDRD Program Director at Los Alamos National LaboratorySheryl Martinez, LDRD Program Director at Sandia National LaboratoriesWilliam Craig, LDRD Program Director at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Hi All
I have been following a post ref setting up mailbox back up on the community edition (my version 7.02) http://www.zimbra.com/forums/adminis...y-version.html
The issue is when I run the script which creates a new file with the mail accounts. The email accounts with long names get cut short so the backup of them fail as the full name is not in the new script. This is the file that gets the user accounts
# baccount.sh -- Script to export select Zimbra accounts
echo $TODAY >> $LOGFILE
echo $USERNAME >> $LOGFILE
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m $USERNAME gms >> $LOGFILE
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m $USERNAME getRestURL "//?fmt=tgz" > /backup/accounts/$USERNAME.tgz
echo --------------------- >> $LOGFILE
And this is the second script involved
# get a list of all the accounts and create a script to
# execute the baccount.sh script with the email address
# of the user as a command line variable
#use zmaccts and extract only the email address from the result
#then concatenate the "/backup/./baccount.sh <emailaddress>" string for each account and write it to the file
/opt/zimbra/bin/./zmaccts | grep "@" | awk '{print "/backup/./baccount.sh " $1}' > /backup/accountbackup.sh
# change permissions on the newly created script
chmod 755 /backup/accountbackup.sh
# Execute the newly created script - this creates a tgz file for each account
# this mounts an SMB drive of a neighboring win machine and copies the backups over - could be anything
# mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password //windowsMachineName/windowsShare /data
# cp /backup/accounts/*.tgz /data
Can anyone suggest how I can get the full name of those few accounts that this script cuts short
Many thanks

Flight 214 Crash Presents Opportunities for Racism
Posted By Ethel Navales On July 11, 2013 @ 10:14 pm In News | Comments Disabled
When the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 jet crashed into San Francisco airlines, you would think that people would understand the seriousness of the situation. You would think that a crash which injured 181 people (22 of which were in critical condition) and killed two individuals would receive feelings of sadness and understanding. You would think that people would send their condolences to the families of the two 16-year-old female Chinese students,Wang Linjia and Ye Mengyuan, who died during the tragic accident.
And if you thought these things, as I had, you're in for a rude awakening. This time of grievance was robbed by those who took this opportunity to instead show racism.
The Chicago Sun-Times angered many for there insensitive word play mocking the Asian accent. Often times, people will mix up the "L" and "R" sound to mock the stereotypical Asian accent. We've all heard it before, we simply never expected to see it headlining The Chicago Times- especially for such an inappropriate event.
While some argue that it may have been an unintentional typo, AsAm News [1] is quite certain of the intentions and writes, "First, its pretty sick to use a play on words in a headline for a tragedy. Secondly, this one's pretty racist."
Editor-in-chief and publisher of Sun-Times, Jim Kirk argued, ""There was nothing intentional on our part to play off any stereotypes. …If anybody was offended by that, we are sorry.We were trying to convey the obviously frightening situation of that landing."
With publications that show such insensitivity, its no surprise that the public follows in their footsteps. Many people voiced their reaction to the tragic accident in an atrocious manner on twitter. These tweets ranged from insults about Asians being unable to drive, small Asian eyes, and even insensitive remarks about North Korea being behind this.
And while we may be quick to point out the blatant racism towards Asians, we also cannot forget that we are just as capable of such insensitivity.
A Korean newscaster on Channel A, general broadcasting company in South Korea, allegedly reported, "The two deceased passengers were both Chinese. From our stance, it is fortunate."
Poor choice of words during an insensitive time? Absolutely. The report angered Chinese and Koreans alike and the newscaster made a public apology explaining that he/she only meant that it was fortunate no Koreans were among the deceased.
With such a tragedy on our hands, you would think it wouldn't be much to ask for some sensitivity with this issue, but more and more we find people using this opportunity to simply show racism and insensitivity.
Tell us what you think below.

Thanks for the response and the welcomes!It makes more sense the wheelbase is 80+ inches. I went back to the specs page and pdf and they are both listed as 50" so I guess that is a typo?I was wondering about the model year because of the paint colors. We truly like the classic green but to be honest the red and black are very nice as well. I guess I will start my search by phone first. I noticed another dealer (UK Motorsports) which is 55 miles that I may try as well. Charlie, that's a long ride out to the Island in Summer, looks close on the map from North jersey. I did it last year, 5-6 hr round trip. Leave in the middle of the night, check out the dealer, go to the beach, have dinner, head back way late. We do need a dealer here in northeat Jersey, you would think? Come on, the most densely populated part of the country? Tri State area, NYC?. Increased sales? I'll tell ya, I've been honestly, contemplating, perhaps, maybe, Ya Know?Thanks for your help!Charlie

Wanted to say "nice work" on the browser 'notification' on incoming email, including the audible alarm. I have not been able to test on my windows workstation at work (and I saw the "requires windows media player or quicktime").
But, I have to say I was most pleasantly surprised that the audible-tone/notification worked on my home Linux box - this is not a normal setup, it's an LTSP4 thin client, so the audo is provided by the networked sound daemon ESD. There are times when I have to wrestle to get sound working, but to have FF3 call whatever it did to get the tone right off - I didn't believe it at first, had to try a few more times Well done indeed.

Gilmore City bank robbed on Wednesday
On Wednesday, Sept. 4, at 1:53 p.m., a masked person carrying a semi-automatic handgun entered the Bank Iowa Gilmore City office on SE C Avenue and demanded money.
According to the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) the suspect then fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of money.
The suspect is described by law enforcement as possibly being a female, about 5-foot, six-inches tall with dark hair. At the time of the robbery the suspect was reportedly wearing a red New York Yankees baseball cap with a flat bill, a red handkerchief bandana covering the face and a red, long-sleeved t-shirt, with a black baggy shirt over the t-shirt. The suspect had baggy worn blue jeans and dark tennis shoes with while soles.
The HCSO was able to gather information on the suspect's description from eyewitness accounts and from surveillance equipment inside the bank.
The possible suspect vehicle is described as a teal or green-colored Chrysler Town and Country mini-van. The van reportedly left Gilmore City southbound on County Road P-19 and then took county gravel 530th Street west into Pocahontas County.
The vehicle reportedly entered several road ditches and corn fields as it fled. Vehicle tracks lead deputies to the Lizard Lake area in Pocahontas County.
Anyone with any information about the robbery or the suspect or suspect vehicle is asked to contact the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) at 515-332-2471.
Bank Iowa Gilmore City President David Boswell released the following statement about the robbery.
"We are thankful that everyone is safe and law enforcement is handling the matter. We are pleased with their response," Boswell said.
The robbery took place shortly before the 2 p.m. window closing time at the bank on Wednesday.
The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office was assisted by the Humboldt Police Department, Humboldt County Attorney's Office, Pocahontas County Sheriff's Office, Pocahontas, Fonda and Laurens Police Departments, Iowa State Patrol, Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation, Iowa Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division and the Webster County Sheriff's Office.

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - The New York Yankees opted to go without their highest-paid player with their season on the line. Fortunately, the one with the second-largest salary was able to provide a return on the team's investment.
Behind a complete-game gem from CC Sabathia, the Yankees outlasted the Baltimore Orioles by a 3-1 score in the deciding Game 5 of an American League Championship Series filled with nail-biting finishes and dramatic moments.
Perhaps the most captivating plot twist took place before Friday's clincher, with Yankees manager Joe Girardi deciding to bench Alex Rodriguez with the star third baseman mired in a 2-for-16 slump over the first four games in which he struck out nine times.
While Rodriguez's removal from the lineup was the primary pregame storyline, Sabathia (2-0) was clearly the headliner of the contest itself. The ace lefty held the Orioles to a mere four hits and two walks while fanning nine batters in a 121-pitch masterpiece.
Raul Ibanez, whose ninth-inning homer pinch-hitting for a scuffling Rodriguez helped catapult the Yankees to victory in Game 3, singled in another key run on Friday to help New York advance. The Yankees also received an RBI double from Ichiro Suzuki, while Curtis Granderson finished 2-for-3 with a solo homer in the win.
New York won't have much time to savor the result, as it hosts Detroit in Game 1 of the ALCS Saturday at Yankee Stadium.
Lew Ford singled in the lone run for Baltimore, which was making its first postseason appearance since 1997, while starting pitcher Jason Hammel (0-1) allowed two runs on four hits while striking out six in 5 2/3 innings.

In response to 49Patriots' comment:
Why do people keep saying he'll be coming in as a subrusher?
Who's going to keep him from starting? Ninkovich? If Abraham can't beat out Ninkovich in week 1 of TC, Abraham has nothing left in the tank. Ninkovich sucks.
Hahahah pats fans. gotta love the passion.
Love when the avg fan never understands the value of a solid consistent starter who just does his job.
For years it was James Sanders. Nink is the new let's get rid of him guy. Oh brother.
I'd be more worried about Jones and Gronk staying on the field after Thanks giving and doing something relevent, when it matters most.
...or how about Hernandez pulling his head out of his @zz this season. One of the 10 worst for dropped passes for TE's this past season. 2nd most penatlies called on a TE in the entire league.
If they want to do that experiment again with moving a DE to DT on 3rd downs then just move Nink in instead of Cunningham and let Abraham play on 3rd in Nink's spot. They'll figure it out.
I'd have bigger concerns than worrying if Nink will show up and produce.

Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Gordon Hayward scored 23 and Paul
Millsap posted 20 points and 10 rebounds, and the Utah Jazz continued to push
for a playoff spot with a 95-83 victory over the New Orleans Hornets.
Al Jefferson totaled 14 points for the Jazz, who have won six of their last
seven games. They are tied for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference with
the Los Angeles Lakers, who are hosting Memphis Friday night. Derrick Favors
played a strong physical role with 10 points, 10 boards and six blocks.
Anthony Davis had 24 points and 12 rebounds for the Hornets, who lost their
second in a row overall and eighth straight on the road. New Orleans hasn't
posted an away victory since Feb. 11 against Detroit. Greivis Vasquez had 21
points and nine assists.
New Orleans held a 24-17 lead after 12 minutes, but the Hornets shot 5-of-20
in the second quarter and fell behind 45-43 at the half. Utah used a 14-2
spurt in the period. Millsap's 3-point play finished the rally with 7:44 left
to give the Jazz a 34-28 edge.
Vasquez tied the game at 59 by making a running back shot midway through the
third quarter, but Utah held a 71-67 lead by the end of the stanza.
An alley-oop jam from Favors, off a feed from Randy Foye, moved Utah's lead to
77-67, and the margin was increased to as many as 15 down the stretch.
The Hornets have lost 11 of their last 13 at Utah ... Hayward made half of his
10 3-point shots ... The Hornets were 2-of-12 from beyond the arc ... Favors
tied his career-high for blocks ... The Hornets' Ryan Anderson missed all 10
of his shots from the field.

It's Five Against One In New Clip From Jack Reacher
Tom Cruise may be kind of short - standing at 5'7" - but he has never looked out of place in a physical role. From the Mission: Impossible movies to Minority Report to Collateral, Cruise has never let his stature get in the way of his ability to intimidate. So while he may not be 6'5" and 250 pounds in Jack Reacher, I don't have a hard time believing that he can handle himself in a street brawl.

Mental Approach Made Shealy ISU's Greatest On Beam
AMES, Iowa – While other gymnasts quake at the prospect of making mistakes, Iowa State junior Michelle Shealy is filled with excitement and that mentality helped her become the best balance beam worker in Iowa State history.
In a sport where success is defined by not making mistakes, most gymnasts enter a routine consumed by the fear of failure. Every wobble, form break or fall results in a gymnast's score slowly decreasing. Gymnasts may smile at judges throughout their routines and look calm, but inside they are a ball of nerves.
Shealy's approach to gymnastics is the contrary.
The Snellville, Ga., native cannot wait to perform. Shealy views every gymnastics meet as an opportunity to show off, and making mistakes does not enter her mind. That mindset is why Shealy excels on the most mentally trying event in gymnastics, the balance beam. In the most pressure-packed situations on the apparatus, Shealy is the coolest customer in the arena.
"I don't really get nervous for beam," Shealy said. "I know that's weird. I get really excited because it has always been my favorite event. I just really love to compete. Practice is fun but competition is why you practice."
Iowa State head coach Jay Ronayne believes Shealy's mindset is truly unique.
"It is often the case that gymnasts get very nervous before beam," Ronayne said. "I'd say 98 percent of the gymnasts out there are just trying not to mess up. Those two percent that can focus on the details are the truly great ones. Before Michelle competes on beam I think how about how good it can be. I never think she is going to make a mistake."
Take Shealy's performance at the NCAA Championships preliminary qualifying round for example. She entered the competition knowing her best chance to earn an All-America honor was on beam. While others would have wilted under that pressure, Shealy and the ISU coaches decided to make her beam routine more difficult by adding a Gaynor. She would be performing a skill for the first time in 2013 at most high-stakes gymnastics event of her life.
The result?
Shealy nailed her Gaynor and scored 9.900 on beam with a near-flawless performance. She moved on to the NCAA individual event finals and, as a result, earned All-America First Team distinction.
For most gymnasts, the pressure would increase at the event finals with the national title on the line. To illustrate just how nerve-racking the event was, two gymnasts ranked in the top 18 on beam in the country fell. The only thing that increased for Shealy was her excitement to have one more chance to compete on beam in 2013.
The 2011 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year certainly delivered on the highest stage in college gymnastics. She scored 9.8375 on the event to tie for fifth with a performance that would require the most highly trained gymnastics eye to find a deduction. Shealy's 9.8375 and fifth-place finish were both the highest ever by a Cyclone at the NCAA event finals on beam.
Shealy can now lay claim to being the best on beam in Iowa State history, but what is probably at the forefront of her mind is she has to wait another eight months before her next opportunity to compete.

Yes, as long as you don't overdo the caffeine, which you'll want to limit to 200 mg per day.
The non-nutritive sweeteners used in these drinks are considered safe, especially if you're drinking them in moderation. If you like these drinks, you can allow yourself a can or two a day, but make sure you're also drinking water, milk, and 100 percent fruit juice for hydration and nutrition.
Diet sodas often contain both caffeine and an artificial sweetener. There are several types of artificial sweeteners you may see on nutrition labels:
Aspartame (NutraSweet): Seems to be okay when consumed in moderation (the amount found in one or two 12-ounce servings of soda per day).
Saccharin (Sweet'n Low): Saccharin was found to cause birth defects in laboratory rats when consumed in very high amounts. Because its safety in smaller amounts is hard to prove, I would advise avoiding it.
Sucralose (Splenda): This relatively new sweetener, a modified form of regular table sugar, appears to be safe. But because it hasn't been extensively studied, it's best used in moderation.

Iowa State Drops Doubleheader to Texas
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State softball team dropped both of its games against Texas Friday afternoon at the Cyclone Sports Complex. The Longhorns defeated the Cyclones 19-6 in five innings in the first game, and UT needed a seventh-inning home run to get past ISU in game two, 2-0. Iowa State is now 18-20 on the season, 1-7 in Big 12 play. Texas is 25-16, 5-1 in conference competition.
Game Two: Texas 2, Iowa State 0
With regular starter Katie Johnson not available on Friday, the Cyclones needed Paris Imholz to step up and carry the ISU effort in the circle. The junior transfer delivered on her ability that she showed in her two seasons at Bowling Green on Friday with what was by far the best performance of her Iowa State career.
After allowing nine runs to Texas in the first game, Imholz brought her 'A' game to the circle in game two. In four of the first six innings, Imholz faced only three batters. The only pressure situation came in the top of the third inning when Mandy Ogle and Devon Tunning led off the inning with back-to-back singles. A popped up bunt was the first out of the inning and Imholz got the second out of the inning on a comebacker to the circle from Brejae Washington, but it allowed the runners to both advance a base. ISU decided to walk Lindsey Stephens and take on Taylor Thom, who hit a fly ball to right-center to leave the bases loaded.
ISU had its chances to get on the board. In the bottom of the second, Aly Cappaert led off with a walk, and two batters later advanced to second on a wild pitch. Jorden Spendlove then reached on an infield single, to put a pair on. However, Sara Rice and Sam Reyes both struck out to end the inning and leave the runners stranded.
In the bottom of the sixth, Sarah Hawryluk reached on a fielder's choice and was brought over to third during Lexi Slater's at bat via Hawryluk's ninth stolen base of the season and a ground out that allowed Hawryluk to move over to third. That left it to Cappaert to cash in the runner, but she could only fly out to center.
Texas got a one out single from Holly Kern on a deep infield single to short. The next batter was Ogle and she hit a lined shot to center that cleared the wall by less than a foot, but gave the Longhorns the runs they needed to claim the victory.
Game One: Texas 19, Iowa State 6 (5 innings)
The Iowa State offense began to get going in the bottom of the second as Brittany Gomez brought home ISU's first run of the game via an infield single that saw Sara Davison cross the plate. ISU added a second run in the bottom of the third as Spendlove laced an RBI-single to center that allowed Cappaert to score from second.
Down 14-2 heading to the bottom of fourth, the Iowa State offense showed signs of life as Liana Henry recorded her second multiple-base hit of the season with a double to lead off the inning and Hawryluk drew a walk. Slater brought both home with a double down the left field line that featured Hawryluk storming around the bases to score all the way from first to make the score 14-4 Longhorns.
After Cappaert advanced Slater over to third, Rachel Hartman got ISU on the board with a home run to left-center to reduce the Texas lead to 14-6. It was Hartman's third home run of the season and first since Feb. 9. Though this was Hartman's first home run at the Cyclone Sports Complex, she has hit all three of her homers this season in Ames, as her first two came at ISU's tournament in the Bergstrom Football Complex to start the season. Hartman now has 20 RBIs on the season, becoming the fourth freshman in school history to record 20 RBIs.
The bottom of the fourth gave ISU hope to extend the game beyond the run rule, but Texas responded with a five-run fifth inning on the back of Lindsey Stephen's second home run of the game, a 3-runer over the wall in left-center and off the scoreboard, to put UT ahead by the final margin of 19-6.
On Deck
Iowa State will close out the series against Texas tomorrow at noon at the Cyclone Sports Complex.

2013 Cruisin' The CoastWritten by Gerry Burger on February 11, 2014 7,042 Registered Cars Roll in for the World's Biggest Block Party
It has been going on for 17 years now and every year we meet people who are participating in the Cruisin' the Coast event for the first time and their response is almost always the same, "Wow, what an amazing event. I can't believe what we've been missing." Yes, Cruisin' the Coast is truly an amazing event. Rather than pack 7,000 hot rods of every description into a fairground, this event decided to spread them over 30 miles of some of the most scenic Mississippi Gulf Coast imaginable. Unlike most cruise nights this event actually involves driving, and for a week Route 90 becomes a scene right out of American Graffiti.
What began in 1996 with 374 cars registered to cruise Gulfport and Biloxi for two days has morphed into eight different cruise sites and over 7,000 registered cars participating in a weeklong event. Each cruise venue has plenty to offer, from good restaurants to live music, and hot rods fill virtually every bit of the respective towns. From the Biloxi Block Party to the Long Beach hot rod breakfast, there is always something going on. While you can manage to visit all eight sights on the Cruisin' the Coast program in a three-day weekend, it is a lot more fun to spend five or six days. This allows ample time to spend at least a half day at each of the scenic locations, and believe me you'll want to kick back and relax at these great venues.
By adding a couple of new locations to the cruise program this year traffic seemed to flow better. As you can imagine with 7,000 registered cars on hand and at least another 3,000 non-registered cars, traffic management can be a real challenge. This year there were alternate routes published in the event program and we found that with a little advanced planning we were able to go to our destinations with minimal problems.
Of course an event of this scope doesn't just happen. As a matter of fact, this year there were 700 volunteers and 12 car clubs working to make things go smoothly. It takes this small army of volunteers and some good old fashioned southern hospitality to manage a large swap meet, a car corral, an indoor auction, and eight different cruise sites. This year there was also a "meet the stars" of the reality TV show Counting Cars and the longest running classic automobile TV show was on hand filming an episode of My Classic Car with Dennis Gage. The fun continues after dark with several casinos in the area offering world-class entertainment, food, and gambling, not to mention VIP parking for hot rods.
We opted to spend our evening on the porch of one of the many restaurants, eating a generous portion of gulf shrimp, sipping a cool beverage, and watching the cars go by. Trust me, we were not alone. From this observation deck we saw several trends. First, the Tri-Five Chevrolet is still by far the most popular of all '50s cars, and there had to be a thousand of them on hand. Second, the old car hobby is quickly moving into the '60s and fullsize '60s cars seem to be all the rage, from flat-finned Chevrolets to Fury hardtops, these cars make great cruisers. Beyond that plenty of traditional pre-'48 hot rods and muscle cars filled the streets. The best part of the weekend is seeing this great mix of cars cruising together, from hot Model A roadsters to early Corvettes and '60s cars it truly is the world's largest block party. This is an event that continues to grow because it is simply too good to miss, and you can bet we'll be back next year as this is on our "must attend" list of events. Next year the 18th Annual Cruisin' the Coast will be held on October 5-12, 2014. For more information, visit cruisinthecoast.com.

If you're spending a week cruising the coast what better car than this Caddy-powered '46 Ford convertible? Adding to the beach flavor is the Sea Coral color scheme and the wide whites and lack of chrome add to the hot rod flavor. The car was originally built by Jerry Hagens of Aledo, IL.
Frank Drummond | Northport, AL | 1959 Chevrolet Biscayne
The great thing about building a flat-fin Chevy is all of the outrageous styling was done at the factory. All you need to do is achieve the proper stance, roll it around on some great American five-spokes, and you have a great cruiser. Underhood a ZZ4 coupled to a five-speed can be found.
Douglas Necaise | Bay St. Louis, MS | 1935 Ford coupe
Happily, the effects of Hurricane Katrina are finally disappearing from the coast and this '35 Ford is a fine example of a survivor. Once a fine restoration, the hurricane destroyed the driveline in the car. Douglas Necaise took the remains and completely rebuilt the coupe with LS power, awesome two-tone paint, and Billet Specialties wheels.
Amos Minter | Dallas, TX | 1940 Ford DeLuxe coupe
If you know anything about early T-birds you will recognize the Minter name. So what does the family drive when they decide to leave the T-bird at home? How about a gorgeous, flawless '40 coupe done in deep burgundy? Underhood a modern LS1 powers the conservative coupe, while inside tan leather covers the original seats.
Julian Harris | Edmond, OK | 1947 Ford Woodie
It's the perfect combination: black sheetmetal, flawless maple, and red steelies. Nothing says cruising the coast better than a woodie, and this traditional timber wagon rolls on a Heidts front suspension with a 350/350 Chevy combo passing the power to the 9-inch rear suspended by Posies springs. Inside the car is one of the most unique leather interiors ever to grace a hot rod.
Roger Minyard | Bowling Green, KY | 1957 Chevrolet 210
Of all the fine '57 Chevrolets at the coast we really liked the approach on this 210. Clean and simple always works, and the flamed side trim insert was just the right amount of fire. Rolling on big 18s and 20s, this Chevy is contemporary but still feels traditional. The "new tradition" LS power is under the hood, while inside you'll find bucket seats and Dakota Digital gauges.
Darrell Cooper | Wetumpka, AL | 1937 Ford Club Coupe
We've always had a thing for '37 Fords and the Club Coupe is a relatively rare model. After some mild de-chroming the coupe was covered in PPG urethane while underhood a ZZ4 crate motor is connected to a 700-R4 transmission. Suspension consists of Mustang II up front with QA1 coilovers out back.
Greg Kirk | Livingston, TX | 1933 Ford three-window coupe
Here's a recipe for a "real hot rod". Start off with a blown big-block coupled to 350 turbo and pass that power back to a Pete & Jake's suspended Winters quick-change. Now top it off with a chopped three-window body and cover it all in PPG Candy Tangerine paint. Finally, roll it around on big 'n' littles and you're done. It worked perfectly for Greg Kirk and his three-window.
Tech Tip
'60s GM Truck Front Crossmember
Tired of those squeaky steel-on-steel "A" frame bushings in your '60-66 GM truck? The crossmember from a '74-86 truck will bolt right in with only a couple of holes that need to be drilled. Are rubber "A"-arm bushings now in your future?

It is interesting that Ford built more three-window coupes in 1935 than they did in 1936 and yet you seldom see the '35 version. Bruce and Val Barrios brought their red '35 to the big block party.The popularity of early '60s fullsize cars is exploding and one look at John and Mary McDaniel's LS-powered '62 Impala should go a long way to explaining this popularity. The McDaniels motored in from Houston.We captured this '39 Plymouth four-door sedan rolling into Ocean Springs. This is a fine example of an uncommon car and becoming an uncommonly cool hot rod. A perfect stance and a great top chop make it all work.The smile on this pretty lady's face says it all. And there is a lot to smile about, perfect weather, great roads, and 7,042 of your closest friends in town for a weeklong party. Of course driving a gorgeous '35 Ford pickup just adds to the grins.For many participants enjoying Cruisin' the Coast means parking along the beach, hanging out with friends, and watching the cars go by. This Deuce five-window carries some American Graffiti flavor. Traditional touches include Halibrand wheels, dual quads, and over-the-frame headers.Ford sold over 30,000 more convertibles in 1957 than Chevrolet and yet you seldom see these cars. Dave and Linda Ehrhardt (Petal, MS) are the proud owners of this fine Fairlane convertible. You'll find a late-model Ford motor underhood.If you didn't take the time to check out this '49 Pontiac you missed one of the coolest cars in attendance. Sure it looks like an old Uncle Daniel car, two-door post, stock right down to the hubcaps. But underhood is an LS-motor, modern disc brakes, and inside everything is rock stock except for the gauge cluster. Bland and Jacquelyn Allen hauled their camper (Little Rock, MS) behind the old Pontiac.The flat-finned Chevrolet was only produced for two years (1959-60) and today they are becoming sought-after cars. This '60s Impala has a factory continental kit that effectively allows this car to park in two zip codes at the same time. Rumors persist to this day that those flat fins would make the car air borne at high speed, but testing has debunked that myth.If you didn't take the time to check out this '49 Pontiac you missed one of the coolest cars in attendance.

If you have a '38 Chevrolet coupe and are searching for the perfect profile your search is over. We're not sure how much the top was chopped but the silhouette is simply perfect.Downtown Bay St. Louis was teaming with hot rods all week. It's a great destination and many cruisers opted to spend one entire day in this charming town on the bay.We didn't get the owner's name but this '56 Chevrolet is spot-on perfect for a mid-'60s hot rod hardtop. From the wheels and tires to the stance and upholstery, when I saw this car I thought I was back in high school.We captured this magenta '57 Olds cruising Highway 90. One of the great things about the '57 Olds four-door hardtop is at first glance you don't notice the back doors.One of our favorite customs of the entire event was this beautifully chopped '54 Mercury Monterey. The silver roof is a great touch and the '57 Caddy caps complete the look. Kendall and Darlene Peterson drove in from Mason City, IA.You don't see many '57 Pontiac Star Chiefs around. This particular car was recently awakened from 30 years in the proverbial old lady's garage. With less than 40,000 miles showing on the car the only thing not original is the recent repaint.The coastal sunshine had this candy coupe all aglow. Once your eyes adjusted to flawless paint you could focus on the great hot rod stance and other fine details on this '33 Mopar.The cruising goes on well into the evening. Combine a Hemi-motor with a hammered Model A sedan and you have a wicked hot rod. Crank out the windshield, crank up the tunes, and cruise Highway 90 for a couple days.

Melbourne, Australia (Sports Network) - Two-time runner-up Andy Murray was a
quarterfinal winner Wednesday at the Australian Open.
The third-seeded Murray thoroughly dominated Frenchman Jeremy Chardy in a 6-4,
6-1, 6-2 triumph at Rod Laver Arena.
Murray, who has yet to drop a set at this fortnight, raced out to a 4-0 lead
in the opening set. Chardy earned a break while winning the next three games
before Murray regained control.
The 25-year-old Murray committed just three unforced errors while taking the
second set in 32 minutes. He needed only 35 more minutes to reach his 12th
Grand Slam semifinal.
Up next for Murray will be either four-time Aussie Open champion Roger Federer
or France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Federer and Tsonga are scheduled to play later

Item # SHI0348
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Bike Brakes in stock than that.View Similar Products
Shimano XTR BR-988 Trail Brake $0.00
Just as you can get XTR Cranksets in two versions, Race 2x10 and Trail 3x10, the brakes are available to match. And with the wholesale design change from the previous 970 brakes, the performance is more akin to the Shimano brakes we relied on for years, and they weren't recent models either. These XTR Trail Brakes M988 are visually similar to the 985 XTR Race Brakes, though a close inspection will reveal that there are indeed a few differences that make the 988 Trail Brakes more suitable for extreme use.
The lever blade itself is one mm wider, at 14mm, to give you a bit more surface area, and it's dimpled for extra gription. Your fingers will appreciate the beefier blades after lengthy, white-knuckle descents. This version also allows you to adjust the free stroke of the lever blade where the XTR Race levers do not. This function lets you determine how far you like the blade to travel before your pads make contact with the rotor, and couple that with a reach adjustment and you can dial them to perfection.
In comparison with the previous 970 XTR's radial master cylinder design, this 988 XTR master cylinder is far different. For starters, the integrated barrel reservoir sits along and atop the master cylinder which is positioned at a tangent to the bar rather than straight out from it. Sizewise, these levers are much lower profile, but more importantly, the movement of the lever pivot towards the bar creates a more ergonomic design. In essence, the arc of the lever optimizes your natural finger movement and position of strength with the point in the lever travel where your power is transferred through the system to the caliper. These also feature Shimano's Servo Wave technology where the Race Levers do not. Servo Wave allows the pads to sit further from the rotors at rest (a great feature for trail/all mountain bikes that might see more rotor abuse than a race machine). This is possible as the piston travel changes relative to lever travel as you squeeze on the brakes to close the gap to the rotor quickly, then slowing to allow predictable modulation.
The calipers are the same for both the XTR Race and Trail Brakes. They both use a 22mm piston for inspiring stopping power, and Shimano has brought back a banjo fitting for the hose attachment. We're glad because it allows more flexibility with hose routing to keep it safe and looking nice. It should also be noted that these M980 Calipers are lighter than 970calipers, and the polished finish looks great to boot. These 988 XTR Trail Brakes provide 25% more power than 970 levers with no weight increase. They employ Shimano's Radiator Pads. These are specific to the Trail brakes and have integrated fins that rise up out of the caliper to dissipate heat from the pads and caliper body, reducing the temperature by 50° C.
The Shimano XTR Trail Brakes 988 are available separately as right or left levers and calipers and have hinged, split clamps for easy mounting. They come as pre-bled lever/caliper/hose assemblies and are complete for each end of the bike except for rotors (sold separately). Shimano XTR Brakes will work equally well with XTR Ice Tech Rotors or the more standard XT 6-bolt rotors. Please Note: If you plan to run 180mm or bigger rotors, you may need to also purchase the proper Shimano caliper adapters. Check your frame and fork compatibility to determine your needs.
- Servo-Wave technology with a claimed 125 percent increase in stopping over previous XTR generations for reduced arm-pump and one-finger-friendly braking
- Wide 14mm brake lever for a positive, secure, fatigue-reducing grip
- Hinged-clamp mounting bracket and compatibility with i-spec bracket for ease of setup and a clutter-free cockpit
- Ceramic caliper pistons and radiator-fin-backed pads for optimum heat dissipation and consistent, powerful stops
- Ultra-stiff, mono-block, two-piston caliper for efficient, flex-free transfer of energy

Brake line Break
i guess this is pretty atypical as most of the guys at my LBS hadn't seen it and my bike wrench brother hadn't come accross it either. but, for what it's worth, i severed my rear line. i had read that the lines that come with xtr brakes were special blah blah blah, but i guess we haven't made them totally rock proof yet.
best used

I love this brake system. Its light weight and dependable. I also like the longer lever on these. You can pretty much stop on a dime with them. highly recommended.

How is the lever feel of the Trails with Servo Wave vs non-Servo Wave Race? I hate pad rub so a SW design is an eye-opener.
so the sw doesn't move the pads away from the rotor, but changes the contact point during your lever pull. as far as disk rub goes though, i have had to make the occasional adjustment to my caliper alignment, but i have no rubbing issues.

shimano XBR M988 sold in pair ? or you sold it rear and front lever and caliper separately ?
Hey Carlos, thanks for your question!
These brakes are not sold in pairs. The rear and front brakes are sold separately. Feel free to use the 'Live Chat' feature on the top of our website to speak with a bike technician if you have any more questions.
Ditched SRAM XX brakes for these...
Had the 2012 SRAM XX brakes. They were horrible - initially were ok, but lost stopping power quickly through the season. I switched to the XTR brakes and they are amazing. Great one finger stopping... don't seem to fade on long descents. Such a contrast to the XX brakes.
You get what you pay for
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I know these brakes are pricey, but they are amazing. the modulation is incredible. i haven't noticed any fading and i had to ride them HARD on a trail that ended up not being so fun. toolless reach adjust is great, and free stroke adjust lets you dial in brake contact to your specs. The power combined with the mini lever make one finger braking easier than two fingers on my old shimano hydros.
I've had no technical issue whatsoever.
Insane stopping power
Until recently I would have said SRAM Avid trails are the best brakes on the market, but Shimano has really stepped it up in the lastest generation XT and XTR brakes, which have insane stopping power and the icetech rotors are impossibly good at shedding heat. So light weight and so precise when it comes to braking.
on the money
Made the move from mechanical to Hydrallic and wow what a difference. Paired with my xtr ispec shifters the front of my bike looks super clean and performs even better.
A hit and a miss
After a painful warranty period, I now like these brakes. :-) While they were not working and I was trying to get them warrantied, I really didn't like them.
The brakes came preinstalled, but since you have to disconnect the lever to install, I suspect that some air was introduced. So I had to bleed them early in the process. managed to drop ( and lose) the bleed screw, and that was a proprietary screw that I had to source from a bike store in Korea as it's not available from US distributors at all. Then contaminated the pads, but managed to get them working again and then the rear piston was leaking fluid, so can imagine all sorts of fun that caused.The replacement came with a hose that was about nine feet too long, so had to cut and install the barbed fitting and new compression olive. That barbed fitting doesn't like to go in the hose.
Had to purchase a bleed kit, because you can't do much with a special bleed kit.
Here's what I like.
Shimano has the best lever feel. Truly one finger braking, even in crazy downhill sections.
Good stopping power.
Goofy finned pads seem to work.
What I don't like;
Shimano mineral oil (really? it's how expensive?)
Barb and compression fitting set up.
The fact that the first pair leaked oil.
I wouldn't have bought these if they didn't come on the bike. Not convinced that I'd buy them again. I've had a better bleeding/maintenance with other brands (Magura and Hope). But now that I've got them working, I'll keep them for a while.
Best functionality ever...
Best functionality in a high end MTB brake that I have ever ridden, but with some reliability shortcomings.
I have ridden all kinds of Avid, Magura, Hope and Shimano brakes, and these are far and away the best Ive ridden. The lever size (small - 1 finger braking) is perfect and the modulation is top notch. Paired with the ice-tech rotors and I have done some serious descents with them (off the passes here in PC and Jackson) and not had any over heating, fading or squeeling. EAT THAT AVIDS.
One problem popped up however with the hose at the crimp for the banjo bolt into the caliper. On my first set, both the front and rears began to leak fluid, which in turn flowed down onto the pads. Riding the ribbon in Grand junction with no front brake was not awesome. Alas, they have a lifetime warranty and within a week, they fixed me up and i havent had issues since. It sounded like a common problem for the early releases that has now been addressed.
does someone make a hydraulic brake for...
does someone make a hydraulic brake for rims on a bike
If your asking about rim brakes specifically, then no. To my knowledge there are no hydro rim brakes. Nothing else compares to hydro discs. Not only because of modulation but also stopping power and performance in adverse conditions such as mud or water.
They do make them for trials bikes. they are hard to find in the us an they are notoriously hard to adjust and expensive. Probably better just to stick to discs.
Many moons ago Magura made a hydro v-brake. It was a neon green set up. Had a friend who had them and had nothing but problems with them, but they do/did exist
Best brakes I've used yet
I've been riding mountain bikes since 1992 and these are the best brakes I've ever used. And I'm not just saying that because I work for the company!
For a less bias opinion than Alex's, They are amazing. I have been a sram guy my entire life and still am for shifting, but I have to admit that the Shimano's XTR brakes are super sweet.

WASHINGTON – Thirteen convicts in prison for murder are back on the streets.
In all, the Baltimore state's attorney's office has released 14 inmates so far.
The Baltimore Sun reports a Maryland Court of Appeals ruling essentially allows dozens of inmates convicted of crimes including rape and murder to seek a new trial. The court decided instructions given to juries before 1980 tainted cases and denied defendants a fair trial.
In the ruling's wake, prosecutors are working to keep criminals who may pose a threat behind bars, the Sun reports. Inmates released so far range from 55 to 75 years old and have served at least 33 years in prison.
Seven more inmates convicted in Baltimore will likely be released later this month, according to the Sun. Statewide, the ruling affects up to 200 prisoners.
The inmates will be on supervised probation and could be sent directly back to prison if they violate the law.

Maria Sharapova made a visit to The Big Apple this weekend and got her shop on. The tennis fashionista was joined by her handlers as she made her way to Barneys in Midtown.
I guess riding boots are the shoe of choice for Shrieka and her crew on this trip. Good choice since it's the fall season. Her fave ballerina flats just won't work at this time of year in New York, not to mention that frumpy cardigan she's working here. In fact, that sweater won't work at any time in any year - drop it.

Seniors raise post-Sandy safety concerns
Tenants say repairs lag at Housing Authority high-rise
1 2 3 Next page >
"We can't live as seniors in a building with no security," said Annie LaSalle, who lives at 415 National Blvd., a Long Beach Section 8 senior housing building.
The six-story apartment building was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. The lobby was flooded and the mechanical systems, elevators and laundry room were damaged, said Paul Goodman, executive director of the Long Beach Housing Authority.
Even now, three months after the storm, one elevator has yet to be repaired, and residents say that the front-entrance intercom system is not functioning, leaving the building open to anyone who walks in and leaving tenants feeling unsafe in their own apartments.
New York Communities for Change, an organization that helps low- and middle-income people deal with housing issues, has been helping the tenants organize and draw attention to their plight.
Last Thursday, a group of residents voiced their concerns at a meeting of the Long Island Regional Planning Council at City Hall, where they said that the Housing Authority has been slow to address what they described as unsafe conditions and other issues at the building. Many said they are not being treated with respect when they contact the authority for updates.
"Nothing has changed — it seems to be getting worse," said tenant Geraldine Levosi. "We are all frightened. They only have one small elevator, and if there should be a fire, god forbid, we're all in trouble …"
County Legislator Denise Ford, a Republican from Long Beach who was a panelist at the meeting, said she would look into the issues at 415 National and other high-rise buildings and contact the Housing Authority on residents' behalf.
For his part, Goodman said he has received no complaints from any of the building's tenants, and he thinks it has been "pretty functional" and that his staff has done the best it could under the circumstances. "Maybe I'm callous," he said, "but I don't see the emergency in the type of condition in the building."
But LaSalle has been vocal about the living situation in her building since the storm. "If I had a place to go, I'd be moving out myself," she said.

I wonder how Goodman would feel if it were his mother and he thought it was ok to put his mother in a wheelchair instead of a stretcher? Not being on a stretcher delays care, takes time to later transfer to the ambulance from the chair. It makes it difficult if not impossible if a heart stops to give CPR . Pull them off the chair lye them on the floor?of or when instructed administering fluids and a lot more. Carry his mother down the stairs? You have to be kidding! The elderly have serous medical conditions and this issue could be the difference of life and death. Sounds like Goodman is overworked and very patronizing
Contact the Mayor's office and the Governors office and your State and Federal representatives ask to speak to a person on his staff and then ask that they get back to you ASAP. I have done this on important matters to me and they have called me back, answered my question and treated me with respect.
Do this and good luck!

Obama Chooses New Manufacturing Czars From Among The 1%*
