Wired Is GoodWritten by on October 5, 2004 American Autowire Upgrade
Looking back on our recent feature trucks, it's no surprise that the '60-66 Chevy and GMC trucks have become popular for both restoration and rodding. The choices for updated suspension, braking, air conditioning, and replacement sheetmetal have added new life to these trucks.
One of the most critical but overlooked areas in any vehicle update is the planning and design of the entire electrical system. The power requirements of the most popular accessories incorporated into most buildups today can far exceed the capacity and capability of the original electrical system. While original replacement harnesses and their associated circuits are correct for a period restoration, they can be seriously compromised when overloaded with upgrades, such as electric windows and locks, electric fuel pumps, EFI, electric seats, electric fans, etc. When you realize that the word electric appears in every one of these common additions, it's easy to realize that an electrical-system reevaluation and update is in order.
Let's look a little deeper into the wiring on the '60-66 GM trucks. The original electrical system used PVC wire and is under-gauged by today's standards for all power circuits. The system was designed around four major harness groups: dash, engine, front lighting, and rear body. That design concept is quite good, however, for a '60s vehicle that had few electric options available, it tends to seriously limit update options. As an example, the heart of the system (the dash harness) was not required to provide a large number of fused power circuits for system protection, and the fuse box reflects this point. Additionally, the front lighting handled a standard sealed beam headlight, and the stock alternator was an external regulator design with an output of 32 amps. Hopefully, you can see the dilemma we will be faced with when we attempt to add accessories to this system.
The basic capability of the entire system is not the only issue. Any new system has to be able to interface with the system design configuration of the original vehicle. Things like parking-light sockets, taillight sockets, all dash switch connectors, steering-column connections, the front grille lighting interface, HVAC control head and resistor controls, etc. are specific to the vehicle and must be considered in any redesign of the electrical system. The point is that a generic solution that doesn't take these things into consideration is no better than the system it replaces.
It's no surprise that millions of factory dollars have resulted in better terminals, better heat- and abrasion-resistant wire, and more secure connectors. While these are all available for use, it still comes down to making any new system work within the original design constraints of the truck. Often overlooked in projects are heating and A/C systems, wiper systems, original light sockets and connectors, dash and instrument-cluster configurations, and switch mounting. When planning your project, it's important to consider just how much of the original truck will remain as part of your new design. For instance, the original instrument cluster in all '60-66 trucks used a trim plate into which a gauge panel was mounted. While we can replace the gauge panel with many different gauge packages, the original trim plate is usually retained. Take a look at your truck and you will see that the original trim plate provided the mounting for the headlight, ignition, and wiper switches and, more than likely, will require a significant amount of rework to change. The same would hold true for the heater control panel.
We contacted American Autowire/Factory-Fit when we heard they had developed a new kit in their Classic Update Series line specifically for the '60-66 Chevy and GMC trucks. We have used factory replacement Factory-Fit harnesses from American Autowire on previous projects and know their experience with the entire vehicle electrical-system configuration. Previous projects in this magazine have detailed their Classic Update Series kits for the Chevrolet and GMC '47-54 and '55-59 trucks and found them to be extremely well-engineered and easy to install. However, we were particularly interested in how their new kit tackled the many differences in factory options offered for the '60-66 trucks.
There is quite a bit of valuable information in the instructions included with this kit, and we were pleased to see the same attention to detail and engineering as their previous kits. As our test vehicle, we used a stock '65 C-20 Fleetside that was in serious need of a rewire. This kit is designed to provide the most complete under-dash wiring as possible with minimal termination work for the installer. This is great as few of us like to spend a lot of time crawling up under the dash. The remainder of the truck is more generic to allow any custom routing scheme desired by the installer. This combination with the detailed vehicle-specific instructions made our installation easy and our truck electrically secure.

We started with the heart of the wiring system, the fuse panel. The new panel mounts in the stock location and requires no additional holes in the firewall. We mounted it by replacing the upper-hood hinge bolts with longer bolts (supplied in the kit) that extend into the passenger compartment and act as the mounting point for the fuse panel mounting plate (see arrows). Additional nuts are applied to provide spacing and lock the new bolts in place.The fuse box was installed on the mounting plate and then the complete assembly was bolted in using the extended hood hinge bolts. The connector on the left supplies additional fused circuits for battery, ignition, and accessory circuits. The connector on the right contains the circuits for the front lighting and electric fan and uses the original GM-style connector. This allows the front lighting connections to use the original grommet and mounting-location hole to the right of the fuse box. If a smooth firewall or custom design is desired, the connection can be made under the dash and routed in any custom configuration.The under-dash harness was then routed across the inner firewall using the original routing because it supplied the best-protected unobstructed path. Here you can start to see the benefits of a kit designed specifically for these trucks. The headlight switch, instrument cluster disconnects, steering column connections, ignition switch, and neutral safety-switch connections fall in place.The new headlight switch (supplied in the kit) plugs directly into the headlight switch wiring extension. Just behind this are the connections for the steering column and the brake switch. The steering column plug accommodates connection to the original column or a GM late-model, Flaming River, ididit, or any aftermarket custom steering column. The instructions detail the wire color and wire functions.There are many different wiper systems used in the '60-66 trucks, depending upon whether it was equipped with a single- or two-speed wiper and whether or not the washer pump was used. In many cases, the systems were dealer accessories. The kit contains detailed instructions, terminals, and connectors for the different switch configurations and motor connections.The ignition switch wiring can accommodate either a dash-mounted ignition switch (supplied in the kit) or a later-model column-mounted ignition switch (the terminals are the same). To use the column switch you have to remove the dash-mounted ignition-switch connector and replace it with the two-column mounted ignition-switch connectors supplied in the kit.The heaters used in these trucks also varied in switch and blower-motor connections. The connection to the dash-mounted ignition switch and the heater are shown here. Many aftermarket A/C and heater units, such as the Vintage Air units, are made to work with the original heater control head. Having the correct connection to the original switch is important. Thankfully, everything was there to make any of them work.
The original dash cluster in our '65 truck was a warning light cluster, but optional factory gauge clusters were available that replaced warning lights with actual gauges. Note that original gauge clusters used an ammeter. The AAW kit handles the charging system with a voltmeter.We wanted to try a few different gauge configurations to test out the ease of wiring different gauges to the dash disconnect. The RB's Obsolete brushed aluminum gauge panel looks great with the Auto Meter gauges. High-beam and turn-signal indicator lights are 5/32-inch LEDs.The wiring of each gauge was clean and straightforward. With the disconnect feature, we wired the instrument cluster on the bench. Electronic programmable speedometers are becoming the standard in aftermarket gauges, and we found it a real plus that the connector was supplied in the kit.RB's Obsolete offers another insert filled with Classic Instruments' gauges. The wiring of each gauge was different than the Auto Meter setup, but the kit easily handled those differences. This speedometer does not use the eight-position connector that the Auto Meter speedometer uses. The calibration is accomplished with an 8 DIP switch on the back of the case.The last panel we looked at was the Dakota Digital cluster that uses an interface to a control box. The wiring in this case went to the control box instead of the back of the instrument cluster. Connection to the control box is made under the dash before the complete Dakota Digital instrument cluster was installed.We chose to use the Classic Instruments cluster. Wiring was a simple matter of plugging the two mating connectors from the dash harness to the gauge harness. Note the two twisted wires in the cluster disconnect. These are the signal and ground wires from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) used by the electronic speedometer. As per the manufacturers instructions, these wires were twisted to cancel out any signal interference. AAW recommends this practice for all electronic speedometers and provides plenty of wire to do it. The completed cluster was then set in place.Unlike the under-dash harness, the engine and front-lighting harnesses need to be flexible to accommodate any custom wire routing. The kit provided plenty of wire for this task. The connections for the distributor, coil, temperature, alternator, and oil pressure can be routed in any desirable configuration. We chose to use the stock hole located close to the back of the engine and ran our connections along the back of the engine and down the side of the intake manifold in a protected covering.The running lights and turn signals are mounted in the hood so we had to run the wiring under the hood structural support. All the harness retaining clips and correct light sockets are included.
The headlights are plugged in through a special connector located on the radiator support (see arrow). While the kit would have let us route the wire differently, we chose to use this connection because the entire headlight grille assembly must be bolted to the front sheetmetal as a unit. This will require a wire disconnect for the headlight grille assembly. The kit supplies the original mating disconnects for this purpose. We also chose this location to mount an electric fan relay.Shown here are the headlight connection and the waterproof connector that plugs into the radiator support before the final bolt-up of the headlight grille assembly. Our '65 truck requires a single headlight connection. The kit also provides dual headlight connectors that are used in the '60-61 Chevys and all GMC trucks.The rear body wiring was connected to the under-dash harness and routed to the rear of the truck along the floor under the threshold plate. This made it easy to attach the overhead courtesy light and the fuel tank sender. We kept the fuel tank in the stock location, but in applications where the tank is moved under the pickup bed, the sender wire would be routed with the rear lighting to the rear of the truck (plenty of wire is supplied).Original terminals are provided to work with the overhead courtesy light mounted at the roof panel. We routed the wires through the cab inner panel.Fleetside and stepside rear light assemblies used a special light socket for the stock taillight housings. The kit includes these light sockets, as well as the waterproof boot and tube assemblies used to protect the wiring within the pickup bed. Here you can see the new components next to the original pieces removed from our project truck.

You aren't what your mother eats
Last year a group of scientists came up with a surprising answer to a question that has occupied humanity since the dawn of time: how to influence the sex of your baby. In the paper You are what your mother eats, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the scientists claimed that it's all down to breakfast cereal. Eat more of it, and you increase your chances of giving birth to a boy. A highly unlikely claim, you might think, but there it was, the result of a sober statistical analysis of 740 women and their diet.
But now it seems that the team's sensational "evidence" was a result of pure chance and due to a basic methodological error. In a new paper, also published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, statisticians and medical experts show that the original authors most likely fell victim to a statistical pitfall that has been known to mathematicians since the nineteenth century. The problem arises when you perform too many tests on the same data set. To put it simply, the more questions you ask, the more likely it is that you get a strange answer to one of them.
As an example, imagine that your data set consists of the 740 women, information on their diet, and whether they give birth to a girl or a boy. You might then ask whether eating jellybeans influences the sex of the child. You count how many jellybean-eating mothers and how many non-jellybean-eating mothers give birth to boys and compute the percentage difference. If that difference appears large, it's tempting to conclude that jellybeans do influence the sex of the baby, but to be sure you ask yourself the following question: what is the probability that the large difference occurred purely by chance, and not because jellybeans influence gender? Using probabilistic methods, it's possible to calculate this probability, and if it is very low, you have good evidence that the result wasn't just pure chance and that jellybeans do indeed have an effect on gender.
But now imagine that you're not just testing the effect of jellybeans, but of a whole range of different foodstuffs on the same data set. For each individual food, a large discrepancy in boy-births between women who eat the food and women who don't might indicate that the food influences gender, as it is highly unlikely that such a freak event would occur purely by chance. However, the more opportunity there is for a freak event to occur, the higher the chance that it will indeed occur. In other words, the more foods you test, the higher the chance that one of them will show a large discrepancy by chance when in reality there is no connection between that food and gender. It's a bit like playing dice: the more dice you throw, the higher the chance that one of them comes up with a six.
According to the new paper, written by Stanley Young, Heejung Bang and Kutluk Oktay, the authors of the original study failed to take account of the effects of multiple testing — indeed they tested a total of 132 foods in two different time periods. Young, Bang and Oktay re-examined the data and found that with such a large number of tests, one would expect some to falsely indicate a dependence of gender on the given foodstuff.
"This paper comes across as well-intended, but it is hard to believe that women can increase the likelihood of having a baby-boy instead of a baby-girl by eating more bananas, cereal or salt," Young, Bang and Oktay say in the paper. "Nominal statistical significance, unadjusted for multiple testing, is often used to lend plausibility to a research finding; with an arguably implausible result, it is essential that multiple testing be taken into account with transparent methods for claims to have any level of credibility."

Fear of maths spawns rampant rabbits
Here's something all mathematicians know instinctively: changing a parameter in a dynamical system, even if it's only by a small amount, can have all sorts of non-obvious consequences. Some conservationists, however, don't seem to have learnt that lesson yet: by removing 160 feral cats from Macquarie Island to protect burrowing birds, a team of conservationists caused the rabbit population to boom from 4000 in the year 2000 to 130,000 in 2006. The rabbits have now demolished up to 40% of the island's vegetation, which may never recover. Cleaning up the mess may cost up to $16 million.
According to experts, a simple risk assessment exercise could have prevented the disaster. "We need a culture change," Hugh Possingham of the University of Queensland told New Scientist. "It's a generalisation, but people who do environmental work are often adverse to mathematics, and so avoid quantitative risk assessments."

|Written by Rhonda Osborne, LPC, Centennial Mental Health
Recently a 14-year-old male chimpanzee named Travis was shot to death after violently attacking a long-standing human friend. The victim, a woman in her 50s, suffered significant injury to her face, the mutilation of both hands and quite possibly permanent brain damage.
This of course was not the first chimp attack on record, and given that hundreds of chimps remain as "pets" in the United States, it certainly will not be the last. The buzz question by the media in this event centers around provocation of the attack. Perhaps it was due to the chimp having Lyme Disease; or the fact he was given Xanax to calm notable agitation earlier in the day; the victim presented herself on the property in a foreign car with a new hair style which may have led the chimp to protect his owner from the "stranger."
As in most unpredicted violent attacks, whether by animal or human, motivation remains a mystery.
I have a particular fondness for chimpanzees; afterall, I was blessed with the opportuntiy to spend a summer using American Sign Language to communicate with five signing chimps. I witnessed chimpanzees completing simple sentences when referencing an object or asking for a particular toy or treat. I had to turn down the mother chimp, Washoe, when she requested I give her a blanket at bedtime, as doing so would have put me in the "reach zone" from the cage. I played a game of chase with Dar, talked about my clothes with Tatu, and was asked to share my earrings with Moja.
In each case, the chimp's emotional expression was clear. The face would appear puzzeled when they would ask a question; frustrated when you asked "what" too many times; angry when you cheated; and happy when they openly giggled during a game. It would seem that emotional states are expresed similarly on the face of both human and chimpanzee. The exception is the display of the teeth, which in chimp language is a sign of aggression.
From the human perspective, the similarities between chimp and human are incredible. As humans, we are utterly amazing. We have relationships, communicate in written and verbal language, have a certain set of sounds that, put together, create words to which we give meaning. We build bridges, treat cancer, clone sheep. We are very, very special.
Chimpanzees, to our utter amazement, have eyes that mirror our own. Body posture and expressions are so similar to ours that an assumption of their feelings at different moments can be made, with impressive accuracy. We are moved by the love that is apparent between a mother and her baby, the friendships that are witnessed among the adult females and the rebellious behaviors of the adolescent males. It is no wonder humans and chimpanzees share approximately 94.6 percent identical DNA.
A 2007 study demonstrated chimpanzees, like humans, do not take kindly to being cheated by their fellow neighbor. Given the opportunity to retaliate, a chimp will "even the score" with his perpetrator. Thus a chimpanzee, when victimized, will punish the offender harshly.
Interestingly chimps can distinguish intentional victimization from that of accidental consequence. When a chimp steals from another chimp, the reaction from the victim is out-n-out rage. When angry, the chimp is motivated to punish the thief with a vengeance.
Much like the design of our judicial system, chimps use punishment to keep order in their communities. Sentencing is immediate and severe enough that social rules are strictly followed. None of this repeat offending, third strike your out law, or lawyer assignment for case defense. A thief is a thief. Imagine the money they save in court costs.
The similarities between chimpanzees and humans often leads to idealistic thinking about sharing a deep and powerful relationship with them. The owner of Travis took pride in sharing a glass of wine with him in the evenings, showering together and sleeping in the same bed. I'm a believer in cultural diversity acceptance, but this relationship seemed to fall outside the definition of healthy. For all the similarities between these two species, distinct differences undoubtedly exist.
First of all, chimpanzees are social creatures that have no qualms about "taking matters into their own hands." Social behavior is set forth by the alpha leaders. There is a hiearchy of power that if disrespected, results in violent and often deadly consequences. Status within the group is determined by physical strength, intelligence and the ability to manipulate subordinates into compliance.
Alpha leaders earn their status by first asserting their dominance, followed by continual defense of such status through challenges by others interested in moving up the corporate ladder.
Now imagine the alpha leader in a human/chimp duo. Humans may have the advantage in the area of prefrontal cortex size, thus allowing them to create inescapable cages for their running mate, but chimps definitely take center ring when it comes to physical strength. I recall a story of one of the signing chimps holding a man in place, through the bars, by using one finger pressed down on the man's shoe. This man attempted escape for over an hour.
An average adult male chimpanzee has five times the strength of the strongest man alive! Not much for competition huh? Thus when a woman removes the advantage of having a prefrontal cortex for defense by allowing a chimp to free roam, having access to the family car for driving purposes and tolerance for the chimp drinking under the legal age limit, the chimp is immediately in the position of alpha leader. Like everybody, alpha leaders have bad days too.
It would seem reasonable the question the media should ask is not what motivated the chimp to attack and mutilate a visitor, but why a human, the world's most intelligent species to date, would willingly lay down the only card in her hand that gave her a chance at winning her brain.

MCMECHEN - Coming off back-to-back losses against quality opponents during a weekend tournament in the Pittsburgh area, the Linsly girls' basketball team entered Monday night's game against winless Bishop Donahue looking to get back on track.
With freshman guard Morgan Brunner swishing seven 3-pointers and finishing with 24 points to lead three double-digit scorers, the Cadets got what they wanted in a 61-27 victory at the Father Raymond Jablinske Memorial Gymnasium.
Krista Emch followed Brunner's big scoring effort with 14 points while speedy backcourter J.J. Jackson hit for nine of her 12 points in the opening quarter as Linsly jumped out to a commanding 27-8 lead.
The runaway decision moved Linsly's record back within one of the .500 mark at 3-4 while the cold-shooting Bishops dropped their third straight decision.
''We put in our dues over the weekend against a couple of great teams from Upper St. Clair and Kentucky," noted Linsly coach Eric Hall. ''In both games we hung with them for a half and that showed me we can be a really good team when we put everything together.
''Our press worked really well in the first quarter to get us the big lead and we also got quality minutes from our bench. It was a total team effort and I'm very proud of all our girls."
Short-handed because an injury that is expected to sideline junior point guard Kelsey Schau for several weeks, Bishop Donahue was unable to cope with the defensive pressure applied by visitors. Linsly forced the Bishops into 14 first-half turnovers and even when they managed to get the ball into the front court, they didn't find many open shots.
The Cadet girls rolled out to a 16-2 lead less than four minutes into the game, the early surge featuring two 3-pointers from Emch and one by Brunner. Along with Jackson's nine points, Brunner and Emch had eight each in the quarter.
Donahue's struggles moving the ball up the floor and making shots again frustrated coach Don Gillis
''I said in the preview (that) in order for us to be successful this year we have to care of the basketball and shoot a better percentage," he reminded.
''Last Saturday night against Conotton Valley we shot just 15 percent from the floor with 24 turnovers. It wasn't any better (Monday night)."
The Bishops were 10 or 36 overall from the floor, including 0-for-7 in the second quarter and 1 of 10 attempts in the third.
With Schau out, the Donahue offense took another hit because of Gillis having to shift his top returning scorer, Selena Ghaphery, from wing guard to running the offense at the point.
''Selena is more of a two or three-guard where she can get her shot off easier, but right now Selena is pretty much all I have to try and run the offense," Gillis explained.
Ghaphery, a 13-point average scorer during her junior year, went 0-for-4 from the floor against Linsly. Kat Polinski led the Bishops scoring with 11 points. The sophomore forward is back in the lineup this year after having sat out most of the 2011-2012 season with a torn ACL.
Brunner's scoring night included a 13-point second half during which she connected out four straight 3-pointers as the the Cadets built a 30-point lead at 46-16 entering the fourth quarter.
Hall also was pleased the results of making a change at point guard, where Emch took over the key ball-handling position.
''Krista had control of the offense and did a really good job of scoring some points and also leading us in rebounding," Hall said.
Emch paced an even effort underneath the glass for the Cadets by pulling down six missed shots.

True to his promise, Hatsu Hioki (26-4-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) will fight one more time before challenging UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo.
UFC officials today confirmed Hioki will meet Ricardo Lamas (11-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) at UFC in FX 4, which takes place takes place June 22 at Revel Atlantic City in Atlantic City, N.J. The night's main card airs on FX, and FUEL TV is expected to carry the prelims.
It's currently unknown where the Hioki vs. Lamas matchup will fall on the evening's schedule.
UFC president first revealed the booking to FOXSports.com.
"Many pegged Hioki as the next possible challenger for Jose Aldo's title, but he wants one more test before going for the belt," White said. "In his way is Lamas, who has proven to be a tough competitor for anyone to deal with, especially since moving down to featherweight and finishing both opponents at 145 pounds. Both guys have verbally agreed to the match."
A former Shooto and Sengoku champion, Hioki made his debut at this past October's UFC 137 event with a narrow split-decision win over George Roop. He returned with a controlling decision win over Bart Palaszewski at UFC 144. Hioki currently boasts a six-fight win streak and is 11-1-1 in his past 13 fights.
Meanwhile, Lamas came to the UFC following a 4-2 stint as a lightweight in the WEC. He dropped to 145 pounds for his UFC debut and has since earned wins over Cub Swanson and Matt Grice.

<i>Dear Workforce</i> How Do We Overcome Resistance To Training
As a new trainer for our company, how can I reach managers who have been withthe company for many years and appear resistant to training? Many of them saytheir departments don't need any training.
- Encountering resistance, trainer, hospitality, Niagara Falls, Ontario,Canada.
A Dear Encountering:
Many times managers resist training due to an unhappy personal experience orpreconceived assumptions about training. Your first task as the new trainer maybe to address these concerns head on.
We suggest that you first choose a resistant manager who may seem a littlemore open to the idea of training, or with whom you have an otherwise strongrelationship. Meet privately with this manager to discover the needs of thedepartment. By asking probing, non-judgmental questions, you will almostcertainly find that the manager does have specific needs for his or heremployees. These needs may be in people skills, job-related skill sets, generalwork habits or in other areas.
Once you have identified these needs, it is your job to illustrate to themanager how some of those needs could be met with tailored training programs. Wehave found that initially you can expect to see some skepticism. However, muchof this reluctance can be resolved by working through the manager's concernsregarding scheduling and "wasted" time.

MORRISTOWN - Martins Ferry isn't a team that needs any help on the football field.
Union Local has been in a helpful mood since starting the season 3-0.
Those factors combined resulted in the Purple Riders' cruising to a 35-7 victory against the Jets, spoiling homecoming festivities.
"I was just tickled to death with out kids and how they kept their poise," Purple Riders' coach Dave Bruney said as his state-ranked team improved to 5-1. "This was our first road trip, so I am pleased with how we handled that. I've brought maybe teams with more talent out here and if had done some of the things we did tonight, we wouldn't have won (those games), so I really like this football team."
All told, the Purple Riders outgained the Jets, 344-145.
On top of the offensive work, the Riders were once again opportunistic in other areas. They blocked blocked a punt, which led to a score, and sophomore Arjay Burress picked off a Union Local pass and raced it back 85 yards for a touchdown.
Burress finished with a team-high 77 yards rushing on 16 carries. Bruce Burger added 64 on nine carries. Junior Jake Barritt hauled in 7 passes for 93 yards.

MORGANTOWN - It's no secret how the West Virginia defense feels about last season's 50-49 loss to Oklahoma at Mountaineer Field.
They all remember how it ended.
With under three minutes remaining and the Mountaineers ahead 49-44, then Sooners quarterback Landry Jones led Oklahoma down the field and on a fourth-and-4 ...
''... (The) quarterback saw us, gave away the defensive coverage and gave a little signal (for a) slant,'' safety Darwin Cook recalls.
That slant pattern resulted in a touchdown and ended West Virginia's hopes of an upset against then-No. 13 Oklahoma.
''I was sick,'' said cornerback Ishmael Banks, who provided the coverage on the play. ''I felt like I let my family down, my teammates down, the school down, the state down, my friends down, everybody.''
Since then, Banks has had one word on his mind.
''Redemption,'' he said. ''Summer, spring, winter ... redemption has been at the front of my mind.''
The Mountaineers will get their chance at it Saturday when they travel to Norman to face the No. 16 Sooners.
However, Oklahoma, like West Virginia, is not the same team it was a year ago.
Sixteen players made their debuts with the Sooners in a season opening 34-0 victory against the University of Louisiana at Monroe.
Included in that list is redshirt freshman quarterback Trevor Knight, who has the attention of everybody on the Mountaineers defense.
''He's a good guy,'' Cook said. ''He can throw, he can run, he can do all these things. Everybody thinks he's going to throw for 250 yards, but we'll see.''
Added linebacker Isaiah Bruce: ''It definitely opens the door for a lot of things and makes us play more sound, and just staying disciplined and doing our part. Since there are so many options, he can take, and since he is a dual-threat, we have to play sound football and do our jobs.''
That's a good reason why the defense can't wait until the second half, like it did against William & Mary, to put its foot down.
''On defense, everyone has to stay on the page,'' Bruce said. ''If one person is doing their own thing or doesn't get the call, the other team goes the other way for a touchdown. Everyone is only responsible for so much. No one should be thinking about someone else's job. Everyone has to just do their part and not think about it too much. As far as the breakdowns against William & Mary, we went over that on the film and made corrections. We're continuing to go over that every day.''
Another thing West Virginia has gone over all week long is how to handle the 85,000 fans that will fill Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
''It will be hard, because they're so close,'' defensive lineman Will Clarke said. ''I've heard they're as close as this wall. It's about ignoring them and staying in tune with the game and not letting it bother you. If you don't let it bother you, then eventually it will be quiet.''
Senior Shaq Rowell shares similar thoughts.
''There is nothing bad about a road game,'' the defensive lineman said. ''Oklahoma has 85,000 people there. So that's 85,000 plus the 100 on their sideline who are against us. There couldn't be a better feeling than that. Your back is against the wall. Let's be honest, no one expects us to go out and win. So why not go in there and play? I'm looking forward to the challenge this weekend.''

I have the day off and with this weather I have been watching every game from last season. Even though Arnaud has been one of my favorite players of all time, he severely lacked accuracy. Watching some of these games, a lot of points were left off the board. I think the loss of ARob will be big, I worry about the inexperience at the RB position, although SJ did have some quiet but good games, specifically against Texas. After watching the spring game, I will say there will be no drop off at QB and I actually look for a more accurate passing game and more speed at that position, but the RB position does worry me. What does everyone else think?
The answer is Ben Lamaak...
I'm going to go Arnaud, but I think there's a reasonable chance that we don't miss either.
Biggest reason I'm taking Arnaud is that even though Robinson was a better player, I have a lot more faith in what the guys who played behind him have shown us. I feel like I've seen more out of Johnson/Woody/White than I have out of Tiller/Jantz.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
Neither? Sure we don't have the "experience" but we have players who are more talented stepping up. If Tiller is the starter then yeah we will miss Arnaud. If Jantz doesn't get a better grasp of the offense by the start of the season we will miss him.. but if Jantz can get a lot more down this summer its game over.
I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.
Colin Franklin....but seriously Arnaud.
Im going with neither. SJ will do just as well as A-Rob and Im sure we will find a QB that is able to be just as productive this fall as Arnaud was.
I think it's definitely Arnaud. ARob is great, and was a great player for ISU; but as others have mentioned there's a lot of talent at the RB spot that saw playing time last season.
I'm more worried about the QB spot, because that's the lynchpin of the offense. If Tiller, Jantz, Capello or Barnett can't lock up the QB spot this season, ISU is going to struggle; especially with the younger players on the offensive line.
Also, Arnaud LOVES Iowa State. Natural leader, knows what it takes to win at ISU and did everything he could to help the team. Not saying the the current QB prospects don't feel the same way, but I think its hard for a team to lose a senior leader like that.
www.widerightnattylite.com/ - All the news on the team that gives you fits
Nothing against A-Rob, but we've got three or four very capable replacements. We have no idea who our QB will be next year and it doesn't look like anyone is really stepping up.
Arnaud and it's not even close.
Kansas wears Adidas.
Maybe Arnaud will be missed as a person. But he wasn't anything great on the field. Shouldn't be too hard to get equal or better production from that position.
I'd have to vote for AA. Even though we all wanted him to be better it was very clear (at least to the sane people on this forum) that he was the best we had at QB.
Let's hope the competition this summer leads to someone to not fill his shoes but go above and beyond AA.
Arnaud due to his overall leadership. ARob is a tough guy to replace, but we have proven talent there. If not for that, it would be a toss up.
AA due to the position he played. Nothing against Arob, he was great but RB is just a spot where you're going to get some kind of production regardless of who is there. So many other factors make a RB sucessful that if some of those are clicking a RB will be productive. I think we'll miss AA toughness and leadership, especially in short yardage situations.

I hate to agree with this as much as I like Arnaud, but watching these games again, I never realized just how inaccurate Arnaud was, there are some throws where Franklin is laying out for a 5 yard out. Williams will be missed, Lenz will be very good and so will Money. Add in Horne and West and this group is pretty solid.

08/06/2008, Buckskin
I managed a few hours of sleep on the dog's bed so I could keep the fan on me. Both dogs moved to the floor over the course of the evening - it must be cooler there. I started to get bit by something and awoke. Anne is snoring. It is still dark - I can see the lights of Mirtle Beach in the far distance. I think I'm going to sneak over to that showerhouse before everyone wakes up. Then I'll come back and take the dogs for a walk, clean up the boat a bit, and follow my parent's advice and move along. There is a larger town that I should be able to get to by early afternoon. I can park there for a bit and try and get some things done. It sure is quiet out here.
South Carolina bridges have a warning not previously evident to me. Puts a whole new twist on the concept of no turning back. I'm anchored tonight off Buckskin Marina about 30 miles into SC. It is dark here tonight with only a sliver of moon. It is also hot, muggy, buggy, and swampy. I've got the little fan going full tilt clipped onto the table where I'm writing. It helps. The dogs are hanging out on deck. I've been trying to rehydrate for the last 1/2 hour. I'm, 4/6ths through my ice supply for the day and I'm on my third diet soda (I watch my sugar intake, thus the "diet"), having gone through all the cold water in the fridge. I almost passed by this anchorage because it was so hot when I arrived at around 4:00 p.m. I figured I would just press on and at least have the breeze the comes from moving, but another 10 miles after the 35 already traveled just seemed too much. This place is actually cozy in a sticky southern swampy sort of way. After the sun went down we dingied to the marina, which was pretty much empty. I checked out the bathroom/shower house and it was unlocked and air conditioned. It felt so good in there I actually hung out inside with the dogs for several minutes just enjoying the AC. This is the muggiest place we've been yet. I applied 100% deet bug spray when the first skeeter hit through my shirt and have been reapplying as needed. Fortunately I have a large supply of deet. There is a small live aboard community here, if you can call it that. It is more like subsistance boating. I met some of the local characters since I am the main attraction this week. They confirmed that there is absolutely nothing to do here. The marina hasn't had a paying customer in weeks. No work for anyone. No commerce in the area. I asked how they get food and supplies and got blank looks. I was treated to a dim flashlight exibition of the little gater that plies the shore of the marina. I am informed that water snakes also inhabit these waters. This didn't stop Jake from attempting to play in the water in the pitch dark. He could not understand why I was so insistent he stay on dry land. If there is a demarkation between north and south on this trip, I think it lies here at this anchorage. Tropical Dreamer is the nicent accomodation around tonight so I suppose I'll just enjoy it. Should be a bit more comforable in bed since I replaced my Ralph Loren comforter in the forward cabin with a single cotton sheet.
08/04/2008, Border of NC and SC
As I type this it is dark. Very dark. There is a sliver of moon but that is all. No town lights tonight. I can hear the animals and insects in the forest beyond the shoreline some 100 yards away. That is all. This screen is putting out a huge light and when I finish this post I will shut 'er down and experience this night. The dogs still on deck and I'll probably have to force them to come inside tonight if I don't fall asleep out there myself. Another shot of bug spray then before I go out. Goodnight.
08/04/2008, Calabash, NC anchorage
We arrived at Calabash creek anchorage around 2:30 p.m., which is a really hot part of the day at this place at this time. You may have gathered that from all the winging I've been doing about the heat lately. First item of business after anchoring was putting up the sun awning, which makes a huge difference in the temperature of the cockpit and makes the whole deck into a shaded area. Now that we're at South Carolina, my awesome collection of charts is broken. The ICW Chartbook is still good through the Keys. It's really all I need. The North Carolina Guide and waterproof map set is of no use to me anymore for now and gets stored tomorrow. The author of that book wrote a South Carolina/Georgia guide which I will buy when I come across it, but it has a lot of information I don't really need. Still, it is fun to know more about where we're cruising and you never know. I already may need to stop into a marina for a thing or two depending on whether I can take care of them myself without sinking the boat. Skipper Bob's book about anchorages on the ICW has been very useful. Simple, to the point, just enough extra information for what is needed. It won't be my last volume purchased from his family (the Skipper himself passed on I understand). Anyway, the dogs have picked up on the value which I hold the charts and guidebooks. Indeed, they are what keep me on track for the hundreds and hundres of miles I've cruised so far in the last few years. Since the chartbooks are important, the dogs like to lay on them. I guess doing so makes the dog important too. I can't tell you how many times I've had to fish out a particular guidebook from underneath the belly of a dog, usually Jake. This time, it was Anne. No matter, I won't be needing some of them after today. The pamphlet on top is the periodic publication of the Seven Seas Cruising Association, which is an organization for people who live on sailboats and cruise in them throughout the world. I can just about make it down the ICW with my dogs without hurting myself or others. The China Sea... well lets first make it to Charlston.
I cruised 25 miles from Southport to here today. I crossed the border to South Carolina this afternoon, but this anchorage is slighly backtracking back into NC. It was a pretty uneventful passage today with deep water almost all the way and current with me most of the time. I've been lucky to have the current going with me most of the way from Oriental, but I sometimes think it is the bad weather to the south becking me with good currents and I will pay the price later. I passed several inlets today, which are striking to experience because you can see the open Atlantic and there are always currents and shoals adjacent to an inlet. This particular anchorage is evidently the only good anchorage in these parts. It is quite nice, I must say. At first I anchored too close to the center of the channel and the large ferry or whatever it was blew its horn at me, which hurt my feelings. I pulled up and anchored much closer to the shore and seem to be doing fine. Dropped the dingy, put on the little engine, and rowed the dogs ashore to play. The shore was like quick sand, but the squishy muddy sand felt kind of good in the hot sun. After the dogs were back on board the mothership, I took off by myself to town, reputed to serve excellent seafood. The dingy was going really fast with just one person and the 3.5 horsepower engine, but the engine is not altogether reliable and sometimes dies or threatenes to die, whether because it is out of gas or for some other reason. It's not a bad engine, just rather basic. I should have brought the honda 2 hp as a backup, but I was planning to head north and I thought I could get it when I passed back through Oriental... and that's neither here nor there now since I'm a long way south already and not going back north as of this moment. As the guidebook predicted, I was rather underwhelmed with the quality of the seafood in Calabash in spite of the town's reputation, but the air conditioning and the several large glasses of 1/2 sweet/1/2 regular ice tea were very welcome. I got the deluxe seafood platter, which has a bit of everything they serve. I've got enough leftovers to last at least all of tomorrow. I gave the fried oysters to the dogs to enjoy with their dinner tonight since oysters gross me out still no matter how they're cooked. Still an hour or so until the sun goes down, then maybe it will cool down a bit - maybe not. We'll be ok either way.
08/04/2008, Southern, North Carolina
As I travel southward, it is naturally getting hotter. The afternoons are starting to really get going. I have a well known and respected brand of Fridge/Freezer. It keeps the perishibles cold using only about 2.5 amps per hour. It's my biggest draw, but its worth it. There is a little freezer, just big enough for 6 ice cube trays. I haven't yet used all 6 in one day, but its definitely possible. That ice makes cold soda, cold water, and cold cocktails. It is a little bit of icy cold bliss in what can otherwise be an extremely hot existence.
08/03/2008, Southport, NC
It's noon here in southern, North Carolina. We've decided to park it in Southport for a full second day. It's Sunday and most of the shops are closed, but I don't do much shop shopping anyway. I pretty much have everything I need and a lot that I don't need. There is a Walmart 1.5 miles up the road, but I don't really need anything from there either. Perhaps a small vegetable stand would be of some interest. Otherwise, I'd like to use up some of my dry stores because things don't last forever in this environment. We took an especially long walk this morning and enjoyed this historic town. There is a lot more to see. I'd like to catch some of the concert in the park at 4:00 this afternoon. Maybe a shower and shave as well today. I've got to work on putting more ads for the truck and the other boat and the house for rent. Not much progress in that realm to date. Also need to pay some bills and otherwise attend to some matters back at home. So its a hang-out day in Southport.
We are traveling through a very historic area for the United States (and the Confederacy). Southport is located at the mouth of the Cape Fear Inlet, one of the main capes and inlets on the east coast of the US. Beyond the inlet are the frying pan shoals extending for many miles out to sea. The markers placed and maintained by the government take boats large and small by the shoals safely to open ocean. There are many, many wreaks littering the shoals. The long, deep Cape Fear River flows to the sea here. I traveled it today for 10 miles from from the cut to Carolina Beach. It was nice to be in deep water (40 feet plus) and not constantly watching the depth meter (I did anyway, but not as much). The largest ammunition loading platform in the eastern US was/is located up the Cape Fear River. Transports exit the river into the Atlantic and then head for Europe or Vietnam... now the Middle East. The original photo I chose for this entry wouldn't download. It is a memorial for the crew of a transport ship that was torpedoed by a German U-Boat outside of Cape Fear. During the civil war, the south controlled the entrance to the Cape Fear River and used that to undermine the North's attempted blockade of Cape Fear inlet and to further prevent the Northern ships from entering Cape Fear river and taking Wilmington. The futuristic looking iron topped steam battle ships were placed here to guard the entrance (and because they were too heavy and underpowered to take to sea). Eventually, of course, it all fell to the North. Now Southport is a city of peace.

Man killed in Putnam County police chase
HURRICANE, W.Va. -- A man was killed in a collision Thursday morning during a short high-speed chase on Interstate 64 after he allegedly tried to shoplift from the Walmart store in Hurricane.
Jan Dennis "J.D." Perry, 44, of Clarksburg, was pronounced dead at the scene, Hurricane police Detective Larry Angell said.
Police saw Perry flee after the attempted theft and gave chase, said Hurricane Mayor Scott Edwards, who went to the scene of the collision.
Perry, driving a Chevrolet Malibu, got on the interstate and headed east, according to Edwards.
The ensuing chase lasted only a few minutes as Perry reached speeds of 100 mph, Edwards said. Perry apparently tried to take the exit into a rest area on I-64, but his car skidded sideways and slammed into the back of a tractor-trailer, Edwards said.
The incident occurred at about 11:30 a.m., he said, and it took firefighters more than an hour to extract Perry's body from the wreckage.
Numerous police booking photos of Perry have been taken over the years. According to news reports, he has a lengthy criminal history that includes armed robbery.
Putnam Sheriff Mark Smith, whose agency is investigating the incident, said Perry was attempting to steal a television from Walmart, but abandoned the merchandise and ran after police pulled into the store parking lot.
Walmart employees called Hurricane police, according to a Putnam County 911 dispatcher.
Smith said police are faced with a catch-22 over whether to chase a fleeing suspect.
"You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't," he said.
Officers are instructed to consider the traffic and weather before giving chase and to call another officer for advice before pursuing a suspect, Smith said.
During Thursday's chase, though, police didn't have time to follow protocol, he said.
"The chase only lasted one or two minutes," Smith said. "And [officers] didn't follow him into the rest area. They stayed on the highway, knowing they were going too fast to make the turn."
The speed limit into the rest area is 25 mph.
Perry's family in Clarksburg wouldn't comment on the incident when reached by phone Thursday evening, although his father, Luther, said police called him at about noon to tell him of his son's death.
"We're just not doing good," Luther Perry said of his family's reaction to the news.

|Prante moves to interim chief financial officer
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
When Melissa Prante first began working at Melissa Memorial Hospital as an accountant last summer, she was excited about the possibility for advancement within the financial field. What she did not expect, however, was that after only a year with the hospital she would be promoted to the interim chief financial officer position.
"With my background, I know what the hospital needs to keep going. I also know what the people need in order to get their proper health care. It's a mix, and you just have to be able to cover both sides and I feel like I understand both sides and that enables me to help out," Prante said.
While employed as a senior maintenance worker with the roads department in Chadron, Neb., Nebraska raised the age of retirement to 68. Unsure that she could perform her job duties that long, Prante decided to head back to college to finish her last year of classes.
The five-year hiatus between her first and final stint at college did little to slow down Prante, who graduated from Chadron State College in 2003 with a degree in business administration with an emphasis in accounting.
Prante said being able to help others was what initially drew her to accounting.
She worked as a certified public accountant for five years before moving to Grant, Neb., to work as the controller for Perkins County Health Services, where she stayed for four years. She then made the jump over the state border for MMH.
After less than a year on the job, Prante was promoted to controller. She only spent a few months at the position before Greg Was resigned as the CFO, opening the door for her to continue her ascent up the company ladder.
"I really love the accounting side of things and I didn't want to let that go and just focus on the business office, so this enabled me to keep that accounting piece with me but also take on more job duties and learn more about how the business office works," Prante said.
With plenty of experience in other areas of the financial field, Prante will continue to receive mentoring from CFOs in Sterling and Ogallala, Neb., as she continues to develop her knowledge of outlining budgets and learning the fine details of contractuals. She is grateful for the opportunity to learn and praised MMH Administrator John Ayoub for providing her with the tools to grow and excel in the position.
"Everyone has been very understanding of the learning curve and helpful," Prante said. "I have an awesome staff. They are very supportive and hard-working."
With only two weeks in the new position, Prante is already exploring possible endeavors to help the community.
"I would like to be able to get a financial counselor in here. I think that would really help the public with finding out what programs are out there," Prante said.
She added that she is excited for the position and is eager to learn the ins and outs of her new role. While the workload has increased in her first two weeks on the job, she said she is grateful because she hasn't had time to let the empty nest syndrome set in too much. Her youngest child, Michi, 18, just recently graduated from Perkins County High School and is in her first year of college at Black Hills State University in South Dakota.
Prante also has a 20-year-old son, Brody, who is in his first year of basic training for the Army National Guard.
Currently, Prante still lives in Grant, but with both children now out of the house, she is still contemplating her future location. She thinks she will end up in Holyoke, but no decision has been made at this point.
While not going to all of her children's high school activities will be new to Prante, she is presented with the opportunity to fill her free time with new interests. Fishing with her folks back in Grant has always been a hobby of hers and she mentioned she may even take up scrapbooking in the future.

Item # RIT0108
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Drop Handlebars in stock than that.View Similar Products
Ritchey Pro Logic II Handlebar $0.00
Imagine a world without ergonomic handlebars—we'd all be hunched over track drops and shrinking an inch a year from our crooked spines. However, a rumor persists that form and function cannot coexist in the world of handlebars, but we think this spread from people who sleep on carbon beds, eat on carbon plates, and ride with flexy carbon handlebars. The Ritchey Pro Logic II Handlebar sets the record straight by combining the best of both worlds. The Pro Logic II offers a stiff ergonomic shape, and comes in numerous size ranges that adapt to riders of all shapes. If rock solid, comfortable handlebars are your thing, these bars are the obvious choice.
The Ritchey Pro Logic II Handlebar's rigidity is obtained from its double butted 7075 aluminum alloy construction. The material selection and ergonomic design make for a handlebar that's equally stiff at the hoods, shoulders, or drops.The design not only feeds rigidity, but it also provides numerous hand positions. For example, the anatomical bend creates a wide space at the tops, which in turn provides ample forearm clearance for the drops. Additionally, the clamping section is clip-on aerobar compatible, and the stem and brake lever mounting surfaces feature a no-slip grit treatment.
For broader riders, Ritchey made several width options. True to the ergonomic emphasis of the Pro Logic II, the reach and drop increase for each width option to guarantee uniform fit.
The Ritchey Pro Logic II Handlebar is available in 40cm, 42cm, and 44cm widths. The handlebars are only compatible with a 31.8mm clamp diameter stem, and are available in the colors BB Black, Wet Black, Wet Red, and Wet White. Please note that the drop increases from 125mm, to 132mm, to 142mm with each width option.

The League: Crossover
This weeks League challenge from CoolandCollected is:
What pop culture heroes or stories would make for the ultimate crossover–think along the lines of Han Solo meeting up with Firefly's Mal on a smuggling run.
After some thought I came up with three crossovers I would like to see or would have liked to have seen. I tried to keep it simple and stick with TV/movies, if I threw in books and comics and cartoons this list would never end. So here goes:
1- Colt Seavers, Howie and Jody from The Fall Guy TV series pairing up with The A-Team for one awesome 2-part season finale. I really, really like both of these shows and it seems like a no-brainer to have the Fall Guy cast appearing on an episode of The A-Team. If this had happened back in the day it would have been so rad!!
2- The cast of Tales of the Gold Monkey and the Frank Buck from Bring 'em Back Alive. I found out about these two shows within the past couple years and they both are among my top favorite TV shows. They both take place right before WWII so having the characters from one show appear on the other not only makes sense but it totally rocks! If you haven't seen either of these shows I can't recommend them enough.
3- And my third pick is Sam and Dean from Supernatural fighting the undead with Rick from The Mummy. The Winchester brothers are freakin' cool and Rick is a great action hero so if you could have the brothers go back in time to the 1920s and fight mummies with Rick and his family, that would be the greatest! Or even if it turns out Rick is their Great-Great-Grandfather or something. I thought about putting the bros with the Ghostbusters, which would be real fun but I think I'd rather see them with Rick.
So there are the top three that came to mind. The more and more I think about it the bigger the list gets. It's really fun to think about which of your favorite characters would be fun to see with each other. Some Honorable mentions:
Magnum P.I. and the A-Team
The Highwayman and Mad Max
Buck Rogers with Battlestar Galactica(either series)
Check out some of the other great responses from League members:
SideShow Cinema has a great idea and I'm suprised they haven't made this into a comicbook yet…
Memories of Toymorrow has quite a fun list of characters!
Branded in the 80s has some thrillers that fit perfectly together!

ATLANTA -- A former Georgia Institute of Technology student pleaded guilty Wednesday in Fulton County Superior Court to two counts of felony computer trespass.
Shayan Panjwani admitted to school officials that in July 2011, he illegally logged into Georgia Tech's grading system and changed his grades.
Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens said while hacking into a computer system and changing someone's grades often gets portrayed as a prank, it is a serious crime.
"Kids are always going to find the next step in technology. Deterrence is really our best defense. If someone is caught changing their grades, we're going to prosecute to the full extent of the law as a warning to other students," Olens said.
Ironically, the two courses in which Panjwani changed his grade were computer science and psychology.
A graduate student who was later going over class grades noticed the change and alerted his superiors at Georgia Tech.
"Let's just say the changes he made were substantial," Olens said.
Judge Karen Woodson sentenced Panjwani under the First Offender Act to two years probation and ordered him to pay a fine of $1000.
In an emailed statement, Georgia Tech officials said:
"Students academic records are protected by FERPA. The student is no longer at Georgia Tech."
"Students academic records are protected by FERPA. The student is no longer at Georgia Tech."
Olens confirmed that Panjwani is no longer a student within the state university system, but he does attend a private college in Georgia.

American Medical ID is the corporate provider of medical IDs for Rite Aid. Together we aim to increase awareness of the importance of those living with chronic medical conditions or drug/food/insect allergies to wear medical IDs.
Doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals recommend wearing a medical ID bracelet or medical alert necklace for those who have chronic conditions.
In an emergency situation, when you might not be able to speak for yourself, a medical ID bracelet or necklace speaks for you. A medical ID can quickly communicate your name, condition, allergies, and medications. Often people choose to also include an emergency contact and telephone number so that a loved one quickly knows what is happening and where they need to be.
Symptoms of common ailments can easily be misdiagnosed. Prompt diagnosis is critical to effective treatment. A brief description of vital medical facts engraved on your medical ID ensures appropriate and timely medical care. More than 95 percent of emergency responders look for a medical ID; more than 75 percent check for a medical ID immediately upon assessing the patient. Wearing a medical ID can improve your chances of receiving proper care in an emergency.
Accurate diagnosis and proper care in response to medical conditions listed on a medical ID can save time, money, and lead to fewer emergency room visits and lower hospital re-admittance. People who are wearing a medical ID during an emergency incur fewer costs than those who are not.

Sacrifice freedoms? I am guessing that you retirement or cash gifts from Grumman has compromised your mind and soul to make a decision on what is best for our people Mr. D'Amato. Please spare us the McCarthy-ism rhetoric that you and your cronies would love for us to blindly follow to our demise. You are the very element that out founding fathers warned us against!

Both Republican and Democratic Party elitists would want nothing better than to have the American People trade off our Freedoms (bequeathed to us from GOD, but guaranteed us by our Founding Father's in the United States Constitution.) Mr. D'Amato along with most political opportunists and masters of "Loop-hole infested Laws" which have brought us to this unholy "Cradle to Grave" control by most Federal, State and Local government municipalities throughout the nation. Over many years, politicians from both sides of the aisle and at all levels, have colluded with the intent purpose of enslaving the American citizenry through passing Law upon Law which benefits only the "Entitled Aristocracy" on our nation. Trading our Freedoms for added safety is a preposterous and nefarious attempt to further obligate American citizens to the Nanny-State, Marxist Ideology espoused by Karl Marx, and not coincidentally Vladimir Putin and closer to home, Al D'Amato, and Barack Obama, among others in the political world, too many to mention. The world is in turmoil
thanks to the corruption of the "Power Elite" of every nation. American wealth has been squandered away to BUY the loyalty of less powerful nations, led by even more corrupt national leaders. Obviously the PEOPLE of those nations have discovered the corruption quicker than the American public. Their streets are ablaze with violent protest. It is only time, before "American Streets will run red with the blood of Tyrants and Patriots alike"..

French soldiers make advances: Russia and Canada pitch in
Newscast Media ALGIERS—As French soldiers make advances toward the North in Islamist-held territory, both Russia and Canada have offered to support France's military intervention in the Mali crisis.
"The deployment towards the north… which began 24 hours ago, is on course with troops inside the towns of Niono and Sevare," French army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Emmanuel Dosseur told reporters.
Niono is about 350 kilometres north-east of the Malian capital and 60 kilometers south of Diabaly, which was seized nearly a week ago by Islamists and then heavily bombed by French planes.
"There is transportation that will be partly by the Africans themselves, partly by the Europeans and partly by the Canadians…and the Russians have proposed to provide means of transport for the French, so it's fairly diverse," Fabius told radio station Europe 1.
Only about 100 soldiers from a planned 5,800- strong African force have so far reached Mali, while France said it has 2,000 soldiers already on the ground.

GM expands recall to fix ignition switch in 1.6 million vehicles
General Motors more than doubled a recall to correct a condition that may allow the engine and other components including airbags to be unintentionally turned off.
GM said it is aware of 31 reported incidents, including 13 front-seat fatalities, involving frontal crashes in which the condition may have caused or contributed to the front airbags not deploying.
In expanding the recall to 1,620,665 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico and a small number overseas, the No. 1 U.S. automaker also said it would review its recall process. It had previously recalled almost 779,000 cars.
"The process employed to examine this phenomenon was not as robust as it should have been," GM's North American head, Alan Batey, said in a statement. "We will take an unflinching look at what happened and apply lessons learned here to improve going forward." GM said it submitted a detailed chronology associated with the initial recall to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Monday.
All of the crashes occurred off-road and at high speeds, where the probability of serious or fatal injuries was high regardless of airbag deployment, a company spokesman said. Failure to wear seat belts and alcohol use also were factors in some cases, the spokesman said.
The Detroit company previously said the weight on the key ring, road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the "run" position, turning off the engine and most of the car's electrical components.
Earlier this month, GM said it was recalling 778,562 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compact cars from model years 2005 through 2007.
On Tuesday, GM added 842,103 Saturn Ion compact cars from 2003 through 2007 model years, Chevy HHR mid-sized vehicles from 2006 and 2007, and the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky sports cars from 2006 and 2007. GM no longer makes any of the affected cars.
The automaker said it is working with suppliers to increase production of replacement parts and accelerate the process. Batey said GM would work with consumers on a case-by-case basis to minimize inconvenience associated with the recall.
Dealers will replace the ignition switch at no charge, but GM advised that until the fix is made, customers should remove nonessential items from their key rings.
GM said the ignition switch torque performance may not meet company specifications. The involved parts were made in Mexico, according to documents previously filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Of the new recalled total, 1,367,146 vehicles are in the United States, 235,855 are in Canada, 15,073 are in Mexico and 2,591 were exported outside North America, according to GM.
Nissan recalls pickups to fix fire hazard
DETROIT (Reuters) – Nissan Motor Co is recalling 16,838 Frontier pickup trucks in North America to address an electrical issue that could cause a fire, according to documents filed with U.S. safety regulators.
The power seat and sunroof functions might also be rendered inoperable, according to documents filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A Nissan spokesman said there have been no reports of accidents or injuries related to the issue, but one report of smoke coming from under a dashboard on a truck in Mexico in December.
Dealers will inspect the circuit breaker wire harness and repair for free if needed. The recall is expected to begin in early March, according to the NHTSA documents.
Genie recalls 10K garage door openers
Genie is recalling about 10,000 automatic garage door openers because they can overheat, posing a fire hazard. The recall covers several models of garage door openers sold since 2011. Consumers should stop using the devices and contact the company for a free repair kit.

|Senate candidate Sid Dinsdale makes stop in Imperial
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 10 October 2013 16:16
U.S. Senate candidate Sid Dinsdale stopped in Imperial Monday morning. (Republican Photo)
By Russ Pankonin
The Imperial Republican
U.S. Senate candidate Republican Sid Dinsdale of Elkhorn makes it clear that he's no career politician, nor does he ever plan to be.
Dinsdale visited Imperial Monday morning on a campaign swing through southwest Nebraska.
Since announcing his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in his hometown of Palmer Sept. 16, Dinsdale has been on the road meeting Nebraskans throughout the state.
Dinsdale views the fact that he's never been elected to public office an asset. If elected, he said he will serve no more than two six-year terms.
Dinsdale believes his experience in creating jobs, making payroll and growing his family's chain of banks gives him the real-world experience to govern differently.
Dinsdale's grandfather started the State Bank of Palmer in 1940. His father and uncle helped expand the family-owned bank to communities across the state.
Since 1994, Dinsdale has served as president of Pinnacle Bankcorp, a holding company that includes the Pinnacle Banks throughout Nebraska.
He believes he can make a difference in Washington, D.C., even if its just one man at a time. "Maybe we can start something here," he remarked.
Lack of leadership in the executive and legislative branches of government represents the biggest void in D.C. today, he said.
The country needs leaders the likes of John Kennedy, who said the country would put a man on the moon; or a Ronald Reagan, who told the Russians to "tear down that wall," referring to the wall between East and West Germany.
What if the U.S. had a leader like that now, he pondered. Then the Keystone XL pipeline could be built in an effort to make our country more energy self-sufficient.
Dinsdale said the overreach of government regulations in all facets of life continue to bring the economy down.
He said he's seen it in the banking industry, the cattle feeding industry and the energy industry with coal-fired generation plants.
Conservative Republican
Dinsdale categorizes himself within the Republican party as a pro-life conservative.
He said he's proud to be a Republican because it stands for American independence and individualism.
With the current government shutdown in Washington, Dinsdale was asked if he could step away from the party to vote to stop the shutdown.
While he said party ties are strong, "I will do what's best for America."
That's one reason he said he chose the Senate race versus the House of Representative race.
The House is all about seniority, he said, while the senate is composed of just 100 senators. He feels he can make more impact as a senator.
He doesn't like what's going on with the Republicans as a part of the showdown over the government shutdown and tieing ObamaCare together. "I just don't think it's a winning strategy."
One thing he said he would always vote for is raising the nation's debt limit. Not doing so jeopardizes the U.S. financial system, along with the country's reputation, he noted.
Affordable Care Act
Dinsdale said he struggles with the Affordable Care Act. While it has some good aspects such as portability and waiving pre-existing conditions, there are also down sides.
One is how to pay for the 30 million uninsured people who are now eligible for health care.
He said he doesn't have any alternative ideas to ACA but plans to study it more. He doesn't believe it's fair for businesses to get a one-year exemption to enroll without giving Joe Q. Citizen the same right.
On immigration, Dinsdale suggested the border states are best suited to advise on the issue. Doing nothing is not a choice.
About 11-15 million immigrants live in the U.S. illegally here in the U.S. Dinsdale said it is imperative to come up with a system to collect taxes from these people to help drive the economy.
Dinsdale believes the U.S. should strive for energy independence, based on the amount of oil being found in North Dakota.
When it comes to fiscal policy, he said Congress must pass a budget and pay its bills.
One thing Dinsdale said he would not do is to sign Grover Norquist's "no new taxes" pledge. He doesn't believe that's a prudent action with the U.S. still owing 16 trillion in debt.
He said he will meet with Nebraska Tea Party members to discuss issues.
He said the split going on in the Republican party between Tea Party politics and conservative politics could continue to hamper the Republican Party.

Hey guys,
I have a guy from another office (he is about 300 miles from me) call in and tell me that when he logs in the app is all garbled and white.
We had another case of that that at my bosses home computer but when he enabled images on firefox everything started working okay. Supposedly this did not work for our guy at the other office and he has not tried using IE6 and Firefox to access the app but to no avail. It works well for everyone else in the office. Basically I'm asking if this is a pure client problem or if there is any way that the server and/or upgrade to M3 may have caused this to happen.
