New meningitis case brings Fla. total to 25
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 1:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 2:34 p.m.
The Florida Department of Health on Wednesday reported another case of fungal meningitis associated with contaminated medicine.
The victim, a 73-year-old man from Marion County, was treated with a tainted lot of methylprednisolone acetate from the New England Compounding Center (NECC). The man received treatment at the Florida Pain Clinic in Ocala.
Marion County has 18 of the state's 25 cases of fungal meningitis. That overall total includes three deaths, all of which were in Marion.
The newest patient had been hospitalized but now is being treated on an outpatient basis, according to Dr. John Armstrong, the state's surgeon general and secretary of health, who held a conference call with reporters Wednesday afternoon.
This patient, whose name was not disclosed because of health privacy reasons, received his shot on July 25 but the symptoms didn't become apparent until much later.
Armstrong said fungal meningitis has a "long tail," meaning an incubation period of up to 90 days or even 120 days.
Nationally, there are 541 cases of fungal meningitis associated with the tainted medicine. That includes 36 deaths.

Antelope are hard to judge, my guess 70
Had a Euro done on this guy and will finally get it back sunday so i can score it, just curious what everyones guess is? its one of my best antelope so far.
Antelope are hard to judge, my guess 70
Probably about right...hard to judge mass and length without something to compare with.

75ish always difficult to judge in pics?
good cutters. I think the guys above are pretty close and your in the 70 range.
Good buck btw!
72 B&C inches, gross............can't see the right side worth a darn.
I'd say in the 72 range, if the cutters were higher it might score close to 80 but I thing the H2, H3 and H4 would all have to be measured above the cutters.
Im thinking 72. No matter what he scores he is a good looking goat.
I think around 74. That is a great goat.

Mental Illness: Political Candidates Are Not Immune From Stigma; Plus the Latest on the NAMI Blog
October 14, 2010
Arlington, Va. -- In the NAMI Blog this week, Mike Fitzpatrick, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, writes: "Mental illness does not discriminate. It affects Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike."
Fitzpatrick calls for dialogue on the nation's mental health crisis during the closing weeks of Election 2010, encouraging voters to look beyond "horse race" headlines and candidate attack ads.
"Personally, as a former state legislator, I have always found it most important to ask people what they are for rather than against in order to build common ground."
Politics and Stigma
In a political mud-slinging story also published this week in the new issue of the NAMI Advocate magazine, NAMI examines stigma surrounding mental illness and candidates for public office. "Presidents, governors and legislators are not immune" from mental health problems the article notes.
The most infamous examples of stigma-slinging occurred against Republican candidate Barry Goldwater during the 1964 presidential campaign and Senator Thomas Eagleton during the 1972 campaign. In part, Goldwater had experienced two "nervous breakdowns" in his early business career. Eagleton was forced to withdraw as the Democratic vice-presidential candidate because of a history of treatment for depression.
The NAMI Advocate story notes that two of the four American presidents carved on Mount Rushmore, Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, lived with depression.
Election 2010 Has its Examples
About NAMI

NAMI has over 1,100 state and local affiliates that engage in research, education, support and advocacy. NAMI is a non-partisan, non-profit organization and does not endorse political candidates.
NAMI Election 2010 Series
Since Labor Day, NAMI has issued as series special alerts to editors, reporters, bloggers and others, encouraging them to ask candidates about the nation's mental health crisis. Are candidates addressing the facts? The series includes state by state data.
Top 10 States; Mental Health Cuts
Number of People w/ Mental Illness; Percent Served by State
Disability Income and State Housing Costs
State Figures: One in 10 Children Lives w/ Mental Illness

04/06/2008, Chiricahua National Monument
This was my camping spot last night. The picture was taken early this morning while I was walking the dogs. It is just outside the monument. My rig is too big to camp at the Bonita Campground. All the better as I had the site all to myself and it was so peaceful and beautiful and all that kind of stuff. You can see my bike (circa 1989) that I took half-way up the mountain range. That was hard. I napped after lunch yesterday when I returned from that ride. But the views... Wow.
I went skiing a few weeks ago with family and friends in Park City, Utah. Great time!
04/02/2008, Tucson
04/02/2008, Prison Camp, Mt. Lemmon, Tucson
I was hiking with the dogs through the ruins of the Prison Camp buildings and came across the last vestiges of what looks like a linoleum floor. I became fascinated with it. The tiles were almost completely removed (a very difficult job for those who have ever had the misfortune) except at the corner of the room, as if a bulldozer and demolition crew failed to complete their job entirely. As I studied other foundations, I discovered the same phenomenon again and again. I identified two colors which were used, a creme and a flaked red, presumably to match the red concrete floors they experimented with. Prison Camp was a Japanese internment and work camp during WWII. They helped build the Catalina Highway up Mt. Lemmon. I was taught about the internment camps in school, but I didn't know at the time we had one just outside of Tucson.
04/02/2008, Mt. Lemmon
04/02/2008, Driving up Mt. Lemmon near Tucson
04/01/2008, Mt. Lemmon, Molino Basin Campground
I'm starting to enjoy a lot more free time. I had a long weekend off and took the dogs and the Bounder back to Mt. Lemmon for an adventure. I was going to go farther, but I'm drawn at present to the mountain closest to my home. Plenty of time for remote exploring soon enough. This is just after we landed in the afternoon. Space #17, my favorite. I'm going to start using larger photos since people seem to like them, but maybe a bit smaller than this one. And I may be back to the Sea of Cortez for a short sailing adventure the second week in April. I'll keep you posted. Oh, and its an honor to be posted today right next to the Burns family from Wind Dancer. I'm a huge fan and have been following their blog for months.
At first light Jake and Anne start to get restless and want to go outside. It's fine when living on land because there's pretty much always a safe and convenient place just outside the front door. Not so in a sailboat anchored in a harbor. The dogs are going to have to follow a different routine. I won't bore you with the details of the plan at this point, but suffice it to say, I have a plan.
03/18/2008, Pichacho Peak, Arizona
As things at the office have begun to wind down a bit, I have been taking more weekend RV trips with Jake and Anne. This past weekend I spent Friday night at Molino Basin on Mt. Lemmon (again) and on Saturday I went to Pichacho Peak along the road to Phoenix. Had a long hike before sunset and then settled down for the evening (as depicted in photograph above). Watched a movie on board. Into the Wild. Somebody made a comparison between that movie and my plan. I don't think so. I'm not burning money for one thing, except on maintenance and repairs for my magic carpets. On Sunday I headed up to north Phoenix to visit a kid I represent in court, then drove back to Tucson and eventually had dinner at my parent's house. Now I'm back to work for part of a week. Heading off to go skiing in Park City, Utah on Wednesday.
03/09/2008, Arizona Trial
This is the view on an overcast morning from the top of my favorite hike on Mt. Lemmon, the trail up to the saddle from Molino Basin. You can keep going in either direction from here for miles and miles and miles.

Detroit AutoRama Is Fantastic At 50Written by on June 28, 2002 Detroit AutoRama Rocks Cobo Hall for Its Golden Anniversary
Other car shows suffered with "soft entries" in the months prior, but the masses who held off debuting cars to make a splash at the 50th Anniversary Detroit AutoRama weren't disappointed. Experienced rodders who made the trek to chilly Michigan called it the "best car show they'd ever attended." Those are big words, but the numbers back it up. More than 750 cars lined downtown's Cobo Hall, and 520 of those were in competition for the cash and trophies. Match that to the 120,000-plus spectators that came through the gates, and you can see why we were touting the event for the past year!
Most people in attendance are there to see the cars in contention for the Don Ridler Memorial Award. Considered one of the most prestigious show trophies in the world, the Ridler Award honors the memory of the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame member who, before his passing in 1963, led the Michigan Hot Rod Association (MHRA). He brought the tradition of entertainment and outside attractions to the indoor show circuit, and broadened the appeal of shows like the Detroit AutoRama in order to attract a huge audience.
Are you a fan of the indoor shows? The hard-core performance guys and attendees of outdoor shows like the Goodguys tour are critical of the typical AutoRama and World of Wheels shows, saying that they're just for trailer queens, sideshow rides, and casual fans who aren't real car guys.
The outstanding workmanship exhibited at Cobo Hall, especially in recent years, rebuts those critics of the static events. The indoor show season has recently become a time when a car owner or builder can parade a new buildup, travel to some fun towns, maybe make a few bucks, and then drive out of the back door at the last show! What had been permanent show cars before are now seeing road miles. Could that be a reason for resurgence?
Championship Auto Shows and the Detroit AutoRama 50th Committee, in coordination with MHRA, worked hard to organize past champions and a record number of debuts to make this a special event. It worked. Congrats to the Larivee family and all of those who pulled it off.

Here's your '02 Ridler Award winner, the '35 Chevy Sedan owned by Bob Rydell, of Fargo, North Dakota. Built and designed by Chip Foose, this all-steel car has too many features to begin mentioning--look for a PHR feature in the next few months. Harking back to the era of classic coachwork, some liked it and others didn't. Everyone knew it was worthy. The owner and his friends wore leather letterman's jackets around the show--some people had less in their cars than he did in those jackets!Think the show is just for street rods? Think again. Remember Kyle Tucker's yellow '69 Camaro (which eventually won PHR Street Machine of the Year...) debuted at this event a few years back? How about "Raul's Rat," an immaculate '57 Chevy with a GMPP ZZ502 fed by a Paxton Novi 2000 blower and Arizona Speed and Marine EFI. Combine that with a four-link and Billet Specialties' Hollowpoint wheels; it was a great street machine example.In hopes of Ridler glory, Bobby Alloway brought a true hot rod to Detroit. This '32 Ford, powered by an all-aluminum GM Performance Parts ZL-1 big block, was actually a project started by Boyd Coddington just before his empire crumbled a few years back. A sister to the Boydster II, which won the Grand National Roadster Show's America's Most Beautiful Roadster trophy a few years back, Alloway bought this steel body and its framerails three years ago with the idea of taking the finished product to the 50th Autorama. George Lange, the guy who owns the '56 Ford that graced our cover a few months back, was quite pleased to be a finalist; the inside scoop is he only lost to the Foose car by one vote.Alloway, who won the Ridler in '85, also brought another car to Detroit: Gai Wilson's '32 Ford coupe. If this car looks tweaked, you've got a good eye. Bobby channeled the front of the body by 1 3/4 inches, which dropped the grilleshell another 2 1/5 inches. He then split the top of fenders and sectioned them by 1 1/2 inches to bury a special wheel under the fender for an ultimate tucked look (using an American 16-inch center with a 15-inch hoop. All of this put the nose on the ground without lowering the car more than the suspension could handle. Combined with a serious 454 with dual-quads, it was one of eight Ridler finalists (25 were up for the title). Considering that two Speedstars also made the final count, we'd say Bobby had a big week.Though we first saw this '51 Ford Phantom two-door wagon at Goodguys Indy last season, we'd still love to get a feature on it. This Eric Peratt/Pinkee's Rod Shop creation belongs to Tim Fynes and is an interesting mix of Pro Street and classic lines with about 500 hp mixed in. Powered by a Boss 429 mill and resting on Art Morrison framerails with Air Ride's Shockwave system, it was one of our favorites. If you recognize the Peratt name, it might have been when he won the Ridler with the "21st Century Comet," owned by Ken Reister.The Pro Street cars still go over big-time with the fans at Autorama, and are even more popular if they actually work as good as they look. This Barracuda is aptly named "Twisted Fish," and is actually SFI 25.1c legal. So, if the 540 Indy Cylinder Head Hemi is up to the challenge, it's allowed to run deep into the 7s. With a four-link, BDS EFI, and an 871, the only thing missing is courage. Credit Wisconsin resto king John Bailow with the paint and Maple Park, Illinois' Competition Fabrication with the buildup.Longtime Detroit entrant and multitime Ridler winner Jerry Pennington showed off some of his past creations, like "Devil Fish," the custom concept that wowed the crowds when it won in 1972. Though you hate to admit it, creations like this are part of what brought mainstream folks to the indoor shows in the '70s and made titles like PHR one of the most dominant magazines on the newsstand.
Recognize this car? Yes, it's Clarence Catello's "Silver Sapphire," the original "Little Deuce Coupe" that's straight from the cover of the Beach Boys album! General Motors wanted it in their booth, not just because it's a famous rod, but because it has an Olds powerplant. That Beach Boys car was built by the famed Alexander Brothers, who were the featured builders of the show. Larry and Mike have been a staple in the rod and custom scene around Detroit since the '50s, and were a heavy influence on the model business as consultants for AMT.It wouldn't be the Autorama without "Circle of Champions" member George Barris in the house. Barris designed this custom '41 Chrysler City Coupe for its builder and owner, Jerry Kind.

Annie's also hosts popular music evenings as entertainment for visitors to the sea-side town and locals alike.
Apprentice Restaurant, formally known as L'Olive, situated on Stellenbosch's bustling Andringa Street, is a sought after dining establishment. Home to the Culinary Institute, this restaurant offers food that appeals to the senses.
The restaurant is training school for students who have chosen cooking as a career, but patrons would be far off the mark to expect anything less than being plated up food of exceptional quality.
Not only is breakfast, lunch and dinner served in style, the décor of the eatery is bright and inviting in a relaxed upmarket manner, however, the best seats remain out of house on the pavement, where guests can soak up the Stellenbosch vibe.
The dinner menu is offers a selection of meat dishes from Lamb Rump, Kudu Loin to Quail. Desserts are wickedly decadent with impossible to resist choices like Chocolate Marble Pavlova and Tiramisu with Rum and Espresso.

Disasters Overview
Disaster can strike people in any community at any time, building slowly, or striking suddenly without warning. Whatever the scenario, as the federal government's emergency management and preparedness agency, FEMA is part of a team of responders. FEMA's mission is to reduce the loss of life and property and help communities nationwide protect themselves from all hazards, including natural disasters and acts of terrorism. FEMA supports the nation in a risk-based, comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, protection, response, recovery and mitigation.
Continuously Strengthening Operations
To serve disaster victims and communities more quickly and effectively, FEMA builds on experience, applies lessons learned and best practices from field operations, gathers feedback from many sources, and constantly strives to improve on its operational core competencies:
- Serve Disaster Victims
- Integrated preparedness
- Incident Management
- Disaster Logistics
- Hazard Mitigation
- Emergency Communications
- Public Disaster Communications
- Continuity Programs
Moving Forward with the "New FEMA"
The Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 created a "New FEMA." With an expanded mission, stronger regions and the added responsibility of homeland security preparedness, FEMA has implemented significant, positive changes throughout the agency to help build world-class emergency management and customer service capabilities.
The new FEMA is part of a team including federal, state, local, tribal and territorial governments, the private sector, non-profit and faith-based groups, and the public. The new FEMA is forward leaning, able, agile and reliable, and has inspired public trust. Through timely information, resources, tools and technical assistance, FEMA is helping families and communities overcome all hazards and helping America build a culture of preparedness.

Got myself an IPOD finally . What are good music sharing sites to download music . I tunes not cheap . Paid for 50 songs . trying to go cheap . Any help very appreciated .
we really enjoy napster
Amazon has good prices for most stuff.
Otherwise I know you can get mp3s for like 0.10 from random russian websites
Amazon if you want to stay legal
NHL teams need to be added to the favorite teams section.
Here's the low down on most illegal download programs = open gate to spyware and adware in addition to the recording industry lawyers potentially sending you a letter. If you have friends that have huge libraries of songs take a portable hard drive to each their computers.

Amazon is cheap. But the CDs you have already is the cheapest option, rip those.
Very important lesson learned... NEVER pass up the opportunity to acquire a bottle of Templeton Rye... NEVER.
And don't forget you can import all your existing CD's via iTunes.

Why would anyone pay to download music? That's just dumb.

yes! talked about this enough to get a google ad up about downloading music.
If you're going to download music illegally, please don't use limewire or torrents. You're just asking for pain. There are far easier and safer ways.
That being said, Amazon is good. If you want even cheaper check out russian mp3 sites like gomusic.ru . You'll get songs and albums for dirt cheap, and it is legal and safe.
What's wrong with Limewire?

Dear Zimbra Community-
First off, thanks for all the feedback we've received in the forum. Its been great read the responses, and assist where we can. We especially thank the CentOS developers, for posting in the forums.
The fact is, we were incorrect in our initial post about a specific CentOS compatibility, and we owe you an explanation on how we came to the conclusion initially that it was a CentOS specific compatibility issue, as well as an apology.
CentOS4 and RHEL4 have a primary difference in how Scalar::Util behaves. This difference initially led us to believe that this was what was causing the problems that were being reported on CentOS. Rather than waiting on the issue, we posted a note (incorrectly) that CentOS had a known incompatibility.
We decided to install a test CentOS system with 4.5 and 4.6 to see if this was the case. The installs succeeded perfectly.
This still left us asking, "Where is this problem coming from?"
Today, we received two support cases with Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems experiencing the same problem. The customers were nice enough to give our development team access to the machine. The customer machines had a different version of Perl from an unknown source instead of the Perl shipped by the vendor. In this case, they had installed Perl 5.8.8, while RHEL4 is shipped with perl 5.8.5. Replacing the system version of Perl with a something other than what has been provided by the vendor can cause problems with a variety of perl modules, including Scalar::Util, as they rely on the underlying core modules to match what they were built with.
Unfortunately we never have had the opportunity to look at a CentOS system with the problem, but we believe this to be the root cause in those cases as well.
On the issue of support, it isn't that you can't run CentOS, it's just that it's not officially supported as a part of our release and QA engineering.
To the CentOS crowd: Thanks for keeping us engaged in the conversation. We apologize for initially declaring that CentOS was the root of the issue. The issue is NOT CentOS, but rather Perl. We were incorrect to jump to the conclusion quickly.
We'll be around to help any who are experiencing the Perl issue, and will do our best to help.
We've updated the bug to reflect the new information, and hope to have this particular issue fixed in 5.0.2, and it will be in the release notes for 5.0.1 as a known issue.
Bug 23495 - Check for non-standard perl and error out due to Scalar::Util issues
All The Best,
John, Quanah, and the Zimbra Team

Woodbury County Courthouse Cleaning Up After Water Pipe Break
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Restoration workers have been cleaning up the mess left behind when a steam pipe burst and water poured into basement offices at the Woodbury County Courthouse in
northwest Iowa's Sioux City.
The problem was discovered Tuesday in the space used by the county Social Services Department. Workstations, carpet and some paperwork got soaked.
A restoration company was called in to help restore the area so the office work can resume.
South Dakota Supreme Court Rules On Hyperion Air Quality Permit
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - The South Dakota Supreme Court has upheld the approval of an air quality permit that would allow a Texas company to begin construction on a proposed $10 billion oil
Opponents sued the Board of Minerals and Environment, saying the board erred when it approved the Hyperion Energy Center permit because its study did not include a full-blown environmental impact
Attorneys for Dallas-based Hyperion and the board countered that an environmental impact statement was not required and board members took into account all relevant environmental issues.
The high court also ruled that the state did not err in extending a construction deadline for the plant.
Hyperion's proposed refinery north of Elk Point would process 400,000 barrels of Canadian tar sands crude oil each day.
Ethics Board Wants To Increase Oversight On Gifts
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The head of Iowa's state ethics board wants to increase the oversight of gifts made to some state employees.
Megan Tooker, executive director of the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board, on Thursday told a Senate panel she supported requiring that employees in the executive branch of government
report gifts worth more than $100.
State law sets limits on the gifts that public workers can accept, such as allowing travel reimbursement for a conference or a $3 lunch. But there is no requirement that employees report those gifts to the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board for review.
Tooker says the information would make the process more transparent to the public. The Senate subcommittee approved the bill.

Dear all,
sorry but I'm new in Zimbra and I'd like to create a lab environment to test the product.
I did a download of Zimbra Collaboration Suite Appliance, installed (ran) in my machine and configure without any problem, but since it's a lab, I used a non existent domain, something like test.tt but when I try to send a email, it's trying to find this domain as a valid domain.... to try to solve this, I added the local address in the hosts of the physical machine (environment details below) but the problem persist... if I look the queue, I can see the error:
connect to mail.test.tt[184.108.40.206]:7025: Connection refused
Someone can help me indicating how to create a lab, without a valid domain, please?
Environment details:

Romney in Big Trouble
Following the first presidential debate on October 3rd between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, one in which Romney repeatedly scored and Obama appeared lost, annoyed and disinterested; pundits, pollsters and political junkies alike unanimously declared Mitt Romney as the winner.
Obama, a long time card carrying member of the self-proclaimed institutionalized "progressive" left intellectual elite, was not simply one step ahead of the opposition.: He was so extremely clever he completely tricked, baffled and befuddled his own supporters.
What the entire watching world missed was, Obama's apparently dismal failure in the Denver, CO debate was a well-planned, strategic, flawlessly executed tactic.
Barack Obama, being so much smarter than everyone else, thoroughly fooled the masses with his deliberately debased debate debacle.
His performance was so convincing that even Bill Maher and Chris Matthew swallowed the bait hook, line and sinker.: Maher, who has put lots of his own money behind Obama, bemoaned on Twitter "I can't believe I'm saying this, but Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter".: Matthews was beside himself, tormenting himself by wondering aloud why the real Obama failed to show up for the verbal tussle.
You would think nobody had ever heard of Muhammad Ali shockingly conquering George Foreman in the historic Rumble in the Jungle.
This must have been Obama's strategy going into the debate, to strategically pattern the three debates after the world famous Ali-Foreman heavyweight championship bout.: Play rope-a-dope and intentionally allow the opponent to attack, all the while knowing your adversary will tire and his skills will eventually wane.
For Barack Obama, who as demonstrated by his actions in office clearly considers himself vastly intellectually superior to even his White House predecessors, much less his backwards thinking Conservative yokel opponent, there can be no other explanation.

Hey everyone, I know this is possible but I'm not sure how.
I use zimbra webmail through Chrome. When I receive an attachement, I want to drag it FROM the email into my file. When I do this, it creates a chrome shortcut, NOT the actual file.
Also, when in Excel, I want to be able to send that file by using this function: File - Send To - Email Recipient and it go to my Chrome Zimbra as a new email with the file attached.
Surely there's a way to do this right?

Make Your A-Body Hook - GM A-Body Suspension From DMRWritten by on November 7, 2007 Make That Big Car Hook With A GM A-Body Suspension.
Before this tune-up, when the green light lit this '71 Buick Skylark would smoke the Mickey Thompson stickies down the first 100 feet or so of the track before hooking up and running. The starting-line tirespin was maddening. Part of the solution we'll show here applies to production cars with coil-sprung, nonparallel four-link rear suspensions such as '64-'72 GM A-bodies (Chevelles, Skylarks, Cutlasses, and Tempests) and Fox-and-newer Mustangs. Next month, we'll dial it in.
We sought guidance from world-reknowned street-racer-turned-Pro-Street-guru Mike Moran, who has raced every kind of vehicle you can imagine and coaches a lot of Fastest Street Car racers through his business, Moran Motorsports. Surprisingly, he started his quarter-mile passion behind the wheel of an A-body Buick, so he knows these vehicles. Moran's initial suggestion was simply to change the shock absorbers to help speed up and control the transfer of weight from the front end for added bite, but after discovering the car's poor 60 percent front-end weight bias, Moran and his business partner Bart Lemeux decided that some more serious suspension parts might be needed.
The plan involved installing a Dick Miller Racing (DMR) rear-suspension kit to improve the launch grip of the vehicle. The kit repositions the upper-link mounting points on the rearend housing to alter the four-link geometry, moving the theoretical intersection point of the upper and lower control arms lower and rearward. This changes the leverage point of the suspension, leading to more body rise during launch, and therefore more pressure on the tires for improved traction. The DMR kit is also adjustable to preload the suspension for drag tuning, and it stiffens the factory mounting points. Similar kits are available for coil-spring Mustangs.
The suspension overhaul also included a DMR adjustable, preloadble rear sway bar and Strange adjustable shocks. We had to modify some of the DMR components to fit, because a Moser 9-inch rearend was installed a few years ago in place of the stock GM 10- bolt , and this kit is built for a factory rearend.
Consulting For Speed
In the process of doing the upgrade in this story, we reached out to the owner of one of the quickest streetable Buick Skylarks in the country. Steve Cagle has gone 9.49 seconds at 146 mph with a 1.36 60-foot time in a 3,500-pound '71 Buick.
When asked about getting the car to launch, Cagle said, "We spent a lot of time with the stock rear suspension and eventually installed a fully fabricated racing suspension. The Dick Miller pieces and Strange shocks are great with the stock suspension and can be installed by someone in his driveway. We ran the rebound in the rears set at seven clicks toward stiff and the fronts at halfway to stiff. I'd set the pinion angle at 3 degrees down with the Dick Miller suspension. We put a lot of pressure in the slicks compared to a lighter car, like 1111/42 to 13 psi, and with the vehicle weight, I think that would help you-we also ran tubes in our slicks. My car worked well with Moroso big-block drag springs up front, but with the front-end weight of your vehicle, I don't think they'll work."
We did try the Moroso front drag springs, which were very difficult to install as they're very long. Unfortunately, the nose weight was too much-the springs were in full coil-bind with the car at rest, so the stock front springs were reinstalled for all the runs.
Cagle went on to add, "Any weight you can get out of the front of the vehicle will help a bunch at the launch." We looked at removing weight, but decided to just focus on the suspension for this story.
Cagle's advice helped a lot. One example was his recommended optimal front-suspension alignment-which saved time for us. We suggest finding someone who has gone fast with the same type or a similar-type vehicle to give you speed tips. Don't be a pest: You'll need to make it a win-win somehow-and we're sure they are as busy as everyone else. Basic recommendations for alignment are to set the alignment with the car raised 1 inch from ride hieght. Shoot for 3-4 degrees of positive caster and 0 camber, and a total of 11/416-inch toe-in. The positive caster helps with high-speed stability.
One important caution: You will need to make sure the vehicle is similar enough to yours to translate. If the package is dramatically different from what you have, there is little to learn-but what do you have to lose in asking?
Scaling The Car
To start the improvement process, Moran asked the vehicle's owner, Mike Kunkle, to have the car weighed. Kunkle took his Buick to Wheel to Wheel Powertrain to have it put up on the electronic scales. Here are the results: As Moran suspected, the front-end percentage was brutal. This makes hooking up the rear tires at launch a real challenge. In a perfect world, he says, you'd want almost a 50/50 percent split front/rear with a suspension designed to take advantage of it.
Some of the additions to the vehicle after this weighing included the DMR suspension (10 pounds), seatbelts (10 pounds), and rollcage (80 pounds). While the car wasn't reweighed after these parts were added, we're confident the total weight was more than 3,700 pounds.

This story will show you how to go from tire-smoke machine to hook-and-cook extreme with basic handtools and automotive knowledge.We called Dick Miller Racing (DMR) for its GM A-body rear-suspension upgrade and weld-in antisway bar, Strange for its front and rear drag shocks, and Moroso for its front drag springs. The Moroso springs didn't work out, as this vehicle has too much front-end weight, but the DMR and Strange pieces definitely worked to make this vehicle launch hard.The A-body Buick was placed on jackstands at all four corners and the rear suspension was unbolted. The stock rear suspension is an unequal-length, four-link design that uses stamped-steel links with a tendency to flex under power. The DMR kit addresses this issue with tubing equipped with spherical rod ends and mounts to relocate and/or stiffen them.The Moran Motorsports crew says it's easier to install the DMR kit with the rearend out of the vehicle.To install the two DMR upper-link relocation brackets, the stock rubber bushings and steel sleeves they ride in need to be removed from the upper rearend bracket. The rubber bushing was easily knocked out, but the metal sleeve was so tight that the best way the crew found to remove it was to fold over the edge of the sleeve with a cold chisel and hammer to make it easier.Moran's crew hit a large 1 11/44-inch impact socket (a similarly sized piece of tubing will work, too) with a hammer to knock the two metal bushings out of the rearend brackets.This is where everything got interesting. Through no fault of DMR, the Moser rearend brackets and 9-inch housing shape were different from the stock 10-bolt, so the DMR brackets needed to be cut at the bottom to slide into the upper bushing hole. The DMR bracket on the left has been cut; the bracket on the right is unmodified.To get the DMR bracket to fit into the upper mount hole and seat tightly against the rearend housing, the new shape was determined with a cardboard template spaced 11/42 to 1 inch off the rearend bracket. The lower shape was scribed onto the mount (right) and cut with a bandsaw (left).With the bottom of the brackets cut to mate cleanly with the rearend shape, they were slid into the upper bushing holes and bolted on tight. The next step was to drill a 31/48-inch hole through each rearend upper bushing behind the bushing hole. This is for the DMR 31/48-inch anchor bolts. Since these upper brackets were aftermarket pieces, two spacers (arrows) were created from a 1-inch-diameter bar by drilling a hole through the center and then welding them to the rearend bracket. Whitey Brown at Wheel to Wheel Powertrain in Madison Heights, Michigan, did the work for us-again, this fab-work wouldn't be required on a GM 10- or 12-bolt.
Here is most of the DMR suspension just before being installed in the vehicle along with the Strange double-adjustable rear shock absorbers. The DMR suspension comes with rear coil springs and these stiffening brackets (arrows) to triangulate the upper mounts. The upper and lower links are adjustable in length via the spherical rod ends and jam nuts, which are used to locate the rearend squarely in the vehicle, to adjust the pinion angle, and to set any desired preload. The DMR link lengths were matched to the factory link lengths.The lower DMR links are located in the rearend brackets with two small bushings on each side. The spacers are chamfered on one side so the rod ends can pivot without hitting the spacer-make sure the chamfered end is touching the rod-end ball (arrow).The rearend was then slid back under the vehicle on a floorjack with one person steadying the rearend and another pushing the floorjack. (Notice the radical drag cars in the background at Moran Motorsports.)The DMR springs were set into their frame brackets and the rearend jacked up into place to begin the actual install. Notice the spring spacer on the rearend spring bracket. This was required for full extension to keep the springs from coming loose (this is something Moran figured out and said is not pretty).Installing the upper and lower suspension links required some finagling of the rearend-at least a two-person job. The lower links were installed first, then the upper links (shown). Notice how the DMR bracket relocates the rearend housing mount upward.Next, the driveshaft U-joint was bolted back onto the pinion of the differential. When doing this, make sure to reinstall the U-joint in the same clock position as you removed it to avoid vibration issues.The final step in installing the DMR rear suspension was to have the adjustable sway bar (arrow A) welded to the frame section and rearend housing tubes by BSM Technologies. BSM also welded the anchor for the diagonal track locator links that connect at the middle of the lower links (arrow B) to the rearend housing. These two links should be installed after the rearend is hanging on the DMR suspension pieces and the vehicle is set to "ride height"-they are a key element to limiting the lateral movement of the rearend under launch loads.The suspension bolts were then torqued down, the brake lines reconnected, the disc brakes reinstalled, and the brakes bled of all air.

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) - Mitt Romney was still celebrating his widely praised debate performance when the latest unemployment report was released.
Unemployment dropped last month to the lowest level since 2009, and President Barack Obama finally had a chance to smile.
In a race dominated by the weak economy, Obama said Friday the creation of 114,000 jobs in September, coupled with a drop in unemployment to 7.8 percent, was "a reminder that this country has come too far to turn back now." Jabbing at his rival's plans, he declared, "We've made too much progress to return to the policies that caused this crisis in the first place."
Still, the latest report isn't all good news for Obama. No president since World War II has won re-election with the jobless rate above 7.3 percent.
Romney saw little to like in the day's new government numbers.
"This is not what a real recovery looks like," the former Massachusetts governor and businessman said, an analysis echoed by other Republicans throughout the day. "We created fewer jobs in September than in August, and fewer jobs in August than in July, and we've lost over 600,000 manufacturing jobs since President Obama took office," Romney added.
"If not for all the people who have simply dropped out of the labor force, the real unemployment rate would be closer to 11 percent," he said.
Incumbent and challenger alike campaigned in battleground states during the day, each man starting out in Virginia before the president headed for Ohio and Romney flew to Florida. Those three states, along with Colorado, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Iowa make up the nine battleground states where the race is likely to be decided. Among them, they account for 110 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.
Both campaigns kept up an advertising war with a price tag approaching $750 million when outside group spending is included.
Romney launched three new ads during the day, one aimed at voters in Nevada, a second targeted to Ohio and a third that says Obama claims "he is creating jobs, but he's really creating debt," running up deficits and spending unnecessarily. "He's not just wasting it. He's borrowing it and then wasting it," the narrator says.
The campaign did not say where it would air.
Romney's strong showing in the campaign's first general election debate cheered Republicans and forced Obama's aides into a public acknowledgement that they would have to adjust their strategy for the next encounter.
The jobs report was the main flashpoint of the day, and Obama scolded Republicans for their reaction.
"Today's news certainly is not an excuse to try to talk down the economy to score a few political points," he said as Romney and most GOP lawmakers emphasized portions of the report other than the drop in the unemployment rate to the same level as when the president took office.

I'll take a shot at this... I've been tinkering with a different map style than I usually do anyway. Just out of curiousity, what program did you use to develop the black and white basic map outline?
Hey there cartographers,
So I have a challenge I want to put to any and all takers and I will even give a prize for the best one of the bunch (maybe even 2 prizes, yeah first and 2nd!)
But before I present the challenge let me explain why.
I am a writer and every time I start making a map, I notice that my prejudices of story, placement of societies, etc... start having an effect on the geography as I do it and everything winds up looking samey.
Run on sentence much?
So I got to thinking and here's where I got.
I have a continental lay out of a world. Let's say the size of Europe and Asia roughly, maybe a bit smaller, I dunno.
I ONLY have the shorelines done and I have no idea what goes inside it.
So the challenge/contest is this;
Take what I have and fill it up! Add lakes, mountains, hills, deserts, wastlands, swamps, rivers, etc... Let your imagination flow and your creativity be your guide!
The one that I like the most I will then populate with places, people and things, without having the land conform to my writer's mind, but vice-versa.
Of course I will make this a Creative Commons map so anyone and everyone can use it as they see fit.
Well how about the prizes first right?
On a ship right now, from China, are coming 500 copies of the first issue of my comics HEROIC. There will never be another print run of this cover/edition, so it is limited edition.
I will give a copy (shipping included anywhere in the world) to the winner of this contest.
2nd place will get a free digital copy and I dunno, I'll come up with SOMETHING for 3rd place if there needs to be.
Sound good?
You can learn more about Heroic here, Zenith Comics here or here.
If you are interested I look forward to what you do. Any style, and technique, etc... Be creative
If you want a HIGH RES PSD of the land mass, just go right here!
Oh and I guess I have to have a deadline, so let's say? October 1st? 2014?
If that is too short a time let me know and I will adjust it.
I hope I haven't offended anyone or broken any rules with this challenge/contest idea, if I have I apologize.
Ladies & Gentlemen! Start your ... um.... brushes?
I got nothing there lol!
I'll take a shot at this... I've been tinkering with a different map style than I usually do anyway. Just out of curiousity, what program did you use to develop the black and white basic map outline?
No one else up for the challenge? Can't be much of a contest if there is only one participant, right?
I would like to keep you up-to-date on the development of this, as well as ask a few questions here and there that I feel to be relevant to how I want to develop this map. What would be easier for you - communication here, or e-mail? If e-mail is easier, send me your e-mail addy in a PM and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Otherwise I'll just check in here periodically.
I'll take a hack at it. Two months ought to be enough time... I hope...
Anyone else want to throw their hat in the ring?
If we have 3 at least it'll feel like a contest
I'm interested. I'll jump in.
Also everyone, you can enter right up until the deadline, so if you see these 3 making WIP threads and think "If only I had jumped in back when." it is never too late!
Thanks you guys for taking up my challenge

The battle for 8th place. I feel like we have a lot more to play for than they do. And who knows if the team even wants to fight for Dana.
Here's to a 3-2 Cyclone victory! (I don't want them to totally lie down and give Rhoads any ideas that Messingham has turned a corner)
Pumped for this one. Last week was fun. Hopefully that feeling carries over to this week for the players too.
Cy has balls of steel.
It feels like three possibilities:
* Iowa State builds on KU drubbing and brings a positive conclusion to a disappointing season with close-shaved win (something like 34-28).
* Similar to Texas/TCU coulda-shoulda, loss by 4 to 10 points, despite late chances to get the W.
* Loss by a margin larger than would appear to make sense (17 to 28 points).
Let's get this one boys. It's GAMEDAY!!!
Haven't been this pumped for a football game since the UNI game. I really want the Riot Bowl to be something in the future.

The Riot Bowl needs a trophy.
Go get it, guys! Let's end this season on a positive note!
Big game here folks, two disappointing teams playing to get out of this season. Hope our boys win but this is the kind if game you just hope nobody gets hurt.

About the same as in Des Moines. High about 45 deg, partly cloudy, no precip, light wind. Go Cyclones!
