Severe weather damages structures in Fort McCoy; none hurt
Published: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 10:03 p.m.

FORT McCOY – Some Fort McCoy residents are breathing a sigh of relief as they believe they dodged a bullet from a tornado that caused minimal damage in their community.
Residents living in the 16400 block of Northeast 154th Place said that on Monday, a tornado that came from out of a wooded area took a metal roof off a cabin before it uprooted a huge pine tree, which crashed into two other trees, one of which held a tree house.
One of the trees, the residents said, landed on a shed, destroying parts of it. The small twister, they said, made its way behind a trail and cut another tree in half before it dissipated.
John Franklin said he was not home at the time of the incident, but a relative who was there said he hid in the bathtub and that the noise shook the home.
Franklin said a neighbor told him they saw the tornado about 40 foot off the ground.
After hearing the news, Franklin said, he raced home. He said he was thankful no one was injured.

Are you looking for whey or a blend?
A lot of the powders I find are quite high in calories and I was wondering if anyone knew of any low cal protein powder?
Are you looking for whey or a blend?
I honestly don't know much about them, but I want a fairly high amount of protein with the least amount of calories possible.
A can of tuna works good.
I like this one: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/xf...ptidewhey.html ThermoLife also makes a good blend called Vasolate.
I posted but it's awaiting mod approval.
Take a look at the stuff made with rice protein, they usually have fewer fillers. All protein powders with have 4 x grams protein of calories. Most all food companies use the formula (4 x g of protein) + (4 x g carbohydrates) + (9 x g of fat) = total calories. The extra in some protein powders is due to the fillers and binders or flavors.
People in SUV's and suburbs will kill more game animals than a man with a bow, ever could.
Looks like my post wasn't approved. Look at Xtreme Formulations ultra peptide whey or ThermoLife Vasolate for a blend. Just google them.
Thank You.
HuntinFool, why do you want to take protein powder? Are you working out so much that you need it?

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity has been celebrated across the globe for over 100 years. It is a time when Christians of all confessions and denominations come together to join in the prayer of Christ descried in John 17:21, "That they may be one, so the world will know that you sent me."

Luna's Castle Hostel
This is what Lonely Planet says . . .'Lunas Castle is, bar-none, the best backpacker spot in Panama City. Housed in a creaky, colonial mansion near the waters edge, Lunas Castle blends historic Spanish architecture with funky, laid-back backpacker vibes. Although its the newest accommodation in the capital, the owners winning formula of professional service, international atmosphere and shoestring prices are sure to make this a legendary stop on the Gringo Trail.
This is what we say . . . Imagine living in a restored centuries old mansion. The ceilings are lofted, the wood carvings are originals, and the ocean view is unobstructed. The three-tiered, reclined seating movie theater shows the latest releases. Art adorns every wall in the hostel. Couches are throughout, hammocks constantly swing, and the coffee is bottomless.
The staff is the best of the best. They will help you organize a trip to San Blas, sailboats to Colombia, bus rides to Bocas del Toro and, of course, recommend the finest that Panama City has to offer.
If you are looking for a chill hostel, you have found it. If you are looking for an easy place to meet tons of other travelers, you have found it. And if you feel like closing out your evening with a cocktail, the bartenders in Relic (the bar in the outdoor courtyard), will mix it up for you.
We hope you enjoy it!
Stay as long as you'd like. Once you get a bed, it's yours as long as you would like it.

Why would he want to be 20 though? The dude accomplished absolutely everything, I wouldn't want to be 20 and unsure of your future when you are 30, have a great family, did so much in terms of your career and are super rich... And I don't think he said anything untrue. Let's all face it that the guy raised the level of this game incredibly, and that is why the top 4 are so strong, because they make each other work harder. Case in point, women's tour, which has absolutely no defined leader and the tournaments just go whichever way the wind blows...ReplyDelete

May 25, 2016
Peter Jennings, the suave, Canadian-born broadcaster who delivered the news to Americans each night in five separate decades, has died. He was 67.
Jennings announced in April that he had lung cancer. Fellow ABC News anchor Charles Gibson says Jennings died at his apartment.
Jennings' announcement four months ago that he would begin treatment for lung cancer came as a shock.
In a taped message, his voice husky, Jennings said: "I will continue to do the broadcast ... On good days, my voice will not always be like this.''
But although Jennings occasionally went to the office, he never again appeared on the air.
ABC News President David Westin issued a statement saying: "Peter has been our colleague, our friend, and our leader in so many ways. None of us will be the same without him.''

I did the workaround where you delete the 'version' file in conf directory. (located here: https://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=57566)
This fixed the prism issue, but now when it launches zimbra it treats it as a new installation. None of my accounts show up. Is there a way to fix this?

Project F-Bomb Races a Ferrari 360 ModenaWritten by David Freiburger on August 2, 2007 A Drag Race Between Our Project F-Bomb 1973 Chevrolet Camaro And A Ferrari 360 Modena
Well, if you read the September issue you're aware of the latest story in the F-Bomb saga regarding some overly front-biased brakes, blown M/T's, and a sideways slide through a water barrier onto an active runway. The good news is the wildy modified Ferrari was far, far in the Bomb's rearview within seconds even without the boost set on kill. As promised in the mag, here are the shots snapped of the race and the aftermath.

The Administration of New South Wales Volume 1: Politics' Patronage and Public Works
The early 1840s saw the campaign for colonial self-government gain momentum driven by massive social and political change. Pressures such as the growth and dispersal of the population; the government's direct responsibility for expensive infrastructure; and the democratic, disorganised nature of colonial politics necessitated administrative innovation and improvisation.
Hilary Golder's history locates administrative developments in their social and political context, showing how the administration of New South Wales developed in response to a set of distinctively Australian problems and solutions.

Sandy showed Bay Park Sewage Plant shortcomings
(Page 2 of 2)
The DEC's talks with county officials have included potential long-term solutions that could eventually halt all discharging of wastewater into Reynolds Channel, which eventually makes its way into the South Shore Estuary Reserve. Ideas have included the extension of the outflow pipe so that treated sewage would be discharged in the ocean, a method that is already used at other treatment plants in Nassau and Suffolk counties.
Citizens speak out
In what turned out to be a prophetic 40-page report by Citizens Campaign for the Environment a year before Hurricane Sandy struck, the organization's executive director, Adrienne Esposito, warned that extreme storms can overwhelm sewage infrastructure and cause raw or partially treated sewage overflows. "These types of severe storms are expected to continue and worsen with our changing climate," Esposito said. "Many communities throughout Long Island are served by aging sewage infrastructure that threatens public health and is adversely impacting our environment."
More than 200 sewage treatment plants and pumping stations that operate across Long Island discharge into fragile bodies of water, including Long Island Sound, Peconic Estuary and the South Shore Estuary Reserve. Many smaller treatment units discharge into the groundwater. "Long Island lacks a comprehensive analysis at all its [sewage treatment plants] because they are owned, operated and managed by different municipalities and different levels of government," Esposito added.
Looking forward
"Rebuilding Bay Park STP without transitioning and modernizing it is not recovery," Esposito said. "We need the county to be aggressive in upgrading this plant to provide for a safer, clearer future." She added that a lot has changed since Hurricane Sandy. "We are confident that we will now get money funding from [the Federal Emergency Management Agency]. We're at a critical juncture … they have to continue to repair, but when we get FEMA money, that's when the permanent fixes can happen. It's expensive, but worth every dollar."
For Bay Park resident David Ludwig and his wife, Jacqueline, who are living with relatives in Merrick, those changes can't come soon enough. "I still have contents from the sewage plant in my bathtub," Ludwig said. "They said I should remove all of the porous materials from my house, but my house is made of wood. How can I raise a family here? What happens when the heat and humidity come, and there are toxins in the untreated crevices of the wood? Anything can fester and grow."
Realizing that the journey to recovery is a multifaceted story with no end in sight, the Heralds are chronicling all aspects of the rebuilding effort in a series of weekly articles with a common theme, South Shore Rising.

Think it is time we all get together and file a Class Action Suite against The City of Long Beach and anyone else for Violating the Clean Waters Act. Please Contact me if anyone is interested.....Thank You!!!!

How about the county of Nassau.
Thursday, February 14, 2013 | Report this
I have been thinking about a class action since I had to have my house decontaminated due to the failure of the sewage plant and the subsequent spillage of raw waste into the streets and the surrounding area grounds and homes. The County conducted a phase based upon the environmental recommendations to remove any porous materials in the homes. My house now no longer has walls or floors and I'd like to know where the liability is for that and how I can begin after so long to recover and/or rebuild. Flood insurance compensation doesn't come anywhere near to helping. I'd like to know if others feel that way and how to go about initiating a class action suit.

While BeckySharper had the occasion to report some good follow-up news, I have the distinct displeasure to follow up on yesterday's elections. Republican wins in Virginia and New Jersey are bad enough, but the real blow–at least to me and mine–is that Maine, which six months ago passed a same-sex marriage legislation through its Congress and had it signed by the formerly-bigoted Governor Baldacci, has now killed that legislation (and their progressive bona fides) through a popular vote.
ABC reports that 53% of voters came out against marriage equality, and now Maine is the 31st state to outlaw marriage for same-sex couples.
Goddammit, Maine, you're going to make me sound, if only for a moment, like a crazy FoxNews commentator here talking about "the founding documents of this nation," but for the love of lobsters, they clearly state that all citizens are created equal and merit equal treatment under the law (not the church). There is no "except if a majority decides that a group of them don't" clause. That legal equality is a matter for public debate is just a total mindfuck to me: that ain't what democracy is about.
The few Mainers I know were on the correct side of this issue, but the religious hatemongers apparently knew how to scare people into voting in greater numbers. And every single one of those assholes deserves a big old kick in the crotch for their "some animals are more equal that others" bullshit.
If we have any locals among our readers, I'd appreciate whatever info you can share about how it looked on the ground, and what might happen now. Is this issue dead in the water, or are there remedies? Can the government override the vote, pursue new legislation, or is it now a matter for the courts?

Seriously, who the hell gets married on the 4th of July?
I do have some Captain 100 I'll probably go through, along with about a case of Leinie's. Probably will drink a Budweiser or two for the effect.

If you really do like creme soda, try Sprecher sometime from Menards (I know, haha). It's awesome. I think Menards has Shasta too, scary I know.
Sad to say I'm a creme soda addict, and I've tried a lot of the smaller creme sodas and Sprecher is da best. Gateway Market has a few other off brands as well.

SHADYSIDE -A little more than 28 months ago, Shadyside was playing in a football preview at Martins Ferry with the varsity, jayvee, and junior high teams all participating.
When it was over, one of those junior high kids had caught the eye of veteran Purple Riders coach Dave Bruney, who has seen more than his share of special players through the years.
''This kid will play for you next year, trust me,'' Bruney told Tigers coach Mark Holenka.

Shadyside's Austin Dorris has been named The Intelligencer's 28th annual Sophomore of the Year.
''He was right,'' Holenka said.
Bruney was talking about Austin Dorris, who indeed, started at linebacker as a freshman for a Tigers team that advanced all the way to the Ohio Division VI region 21 championship game.
''There's not too many freshmen that have come in and played, at least not as starters,'' Holenka said. ''He was one that we saw that could probably handle it.''

Dorris followed that up with the kind of sophomore campaign that gets notice. At 6-foot-5, 215 pounds, he played linebacker, receiver, and a little at quarterback, catching 29 passes for 507 yards and seven touchdowns; completing 5 of 11 passes for 77 yards and a TD; and totaling 53 tackles, two sacks, three pass breakups, three interceptions, and a pair of defensive scores.
''He learned so much from his freshman year to his sophomore year,'' Holenka said. ''The game really slowed down for him. He was able to make calls and see things happen quicker. He's got a lot of room to grow. He's going to a big-time football player.''
For those efforts, Dorris has been named The Intelligencer's 28th Sophomore of the Year - the first Shadyside player to be so honored.
''That's a heck of an accomplishment,'' Dorris said. ''I didn't know I was up for anything, but I'm thankful, for sure.''
The truth is, Dorris, who was generally the biggest kid his age, has been on the fast track to big things since the fifth grade, when he left the flag football at Shadyside behind for the Little Patriots program in Wheeling, where he played alongside, among others, Parker Henry, last year's Sophomore of the Year honoree from Wheeling Central.
It was a route he similarly took in the other three sports he played - basketball, hockey, and baseball, where the travel leagues in which those teams participated helped him face the best competition he could.
''I wanted to get focused on getting to college,'' he said. ''You get to see more, travel to more places. You get to see what's out there except for just the valley.''
If you're looking for pedigree, look no farther than Austin's mother, the former Gloria Josefczyk, a 1985 graduate of Union Local who scored more than 1,000 points for the Jets by the time she'd left.
A member of the Tigers basketball team, Dorris hit what proved to be the deciding free-throws in overtime Friday night as they beat Martins Ferry. Still, he says, mom is better.
''I feel like she'd definitely beat me in a game of 1-on-1,'' he said.
Back to football, Dorris will make the switch to quarterback full time next season following the graduation of two-year starter Chase Kinemond.
''He's most likely the heir apparent,'' Holenka said. ''I don't know how the Sam linebacker fits in. You hate to take him out of the game. We're going to have to hold our breath (when he plays defense). It won't be a constant.''
Whichever position opens the door for a college scholarship - linebacker, quarterback, receiver - Dorris' goal is to walk through it.
For now though, he's just taking it all in. After all, he and his mates helped the Tigers to their first unbeaten regular season since 1977 last month.
''It meant the world to me,'' Dorris said. ''It hasn't been done in 35 years. It was definitely big accomplishment and an honor.''
Others considered for the Sophomore of the Year Award were Bishop Donahue's Jesse Padlow, Wheeling Park's Chalmer Moffett, Bridgeport's Bailey McGrath, Weir's William Larch, and Union Local's Tater Blake.

Global Logistics: California remains in lead of high-value export growth trend
July 12, 2011
Amid gathering fears that America's economic recovery may be sputtering, California exporters posted their 19th consecutive month of healthy year-over gains in May.
The news comes on the heels of a U.S. Commerce report indicating that Texas, too, is benefitting by its concentration on manufacturing and outbound goods.
Cross-border shipments for the month totaled $13.20 billion, a gain of 10.5 percent over the $11.95 billion reported in May of last year, according to an analysis by Beacon Economics of foreign trade data released by Commerce.
The state's manufactured export trade was up by 6.1 percent, while non-manufactured exports (chiefly raw materials and agricultural products) soared by 24.2 percent. Re-exports, meanwhile, jumped by 17.2 percent.
"Adjusting for inflation, California's export trade is as robust as it was prior to the recession," said Jock O'Connell, Beacon Economics' International Trade Adviser.
In an interview with LM, O'Connell noted that while Texas may owe its export success to its low wage model, California has high value commodities to credit.
"In the long run, it's a wash," he said. "California is a far more expensive place to live, but the state attracts a more highly educated work force."
Export activity is important to both the U.S. and California recovery. "We opened up a huge deficit in the boom years," said Beacon Economics Founding Partner Christopher Thornberg. "To get back on solid footing, exports need to continue to rise."
The Beacon Economics analysis forecasts sustained growth in California's export trade, especially in the second half of the year when the pace of foreign trade normally picks up.
"With the dollar as cheap as it is, California as well as other U.S. goods are selling at bargain prices on the world market," O'Connell noted.
He also added that an apparent reprieve from steadily rising oil prices should help exporters by keeping transportation costs in check at least through the summer.
Even as most of the state's chief trading partners are taking steps to battle inflation or curtail budget deficits, Beacon Economics forecasts that those economies will continue to grow and draw in imports from California.
On the import side of the ledger, the value of foreign shipments entering the U.S. via California's airports, seaports, and border crossings rose by 14.7 percent in May over the same month last year.
As the nation's primary gateway to the Pacific Rim, California derives ample economic benefits from the import trade. "As much as we might like to reduce our dependence on imported goods, it's worth emphasizing that moving imported goods to markets throughout the nation represents a vital source of jobs—many of them well-paying—in a state where unemployment rates remain perilously high," O'Connell said.

When kids anticipate "going to the doctor," many become worried and apprehensive about the visit. Whether they're going to see their primary care doctor or a specialist — and whether for a routine exam, illness, or special problem — kids are likely to have fears, and some may even feel guilty.
Some fears and guilty feelings surface easily, so that kids can talk about them. Others are harbored secretly and remain unspoken. You can help your child express these fears and overcome them.
Things that often top kids' lists of concerns about going to the doctor include:
In addition, kids often harbor feelings of guilt: They may believe that their illness or condition is punishment for something they've done or neglected to do. Kids who feel guilty may also believe that examinations and medical procedures are part of their punishment.
You can help by encouraging your kids to express their fears and by addressing them in words that they understand and aren't likely to misinterpret. Here are some practical ways to do this:
If the upcoming appointment is for a regular health checkup, explain that it's "a well-child visit. The doctor will check on how you're growing and developing, and also ask questions and examine you to make sure that your body is healthy. And you'll get a chance to ask any questions you want to about your body and your health." Also, stress that all healthy kids go to the doctor for such visits.
If the visit is to diagnose and treat an illness or other condition, explain — in very nonthreatening language — that the doctor "needs to examine you to find out how to fix this and help you get better."
A child who is going to the doctor because of an illness or other condition might have unspoken feelings of guilt about it. Discuss the illness or condition in neutral language and reassure your child: "This isn't caused by anything you did or forgot to do. Illnesses like this happen to many kids. Aren't we lucky to have doctors who can find the causes and who know how to help us get well?"
If you, your spouse, other relatives, or friends had (or have) the same condition, share this information. Knowing that you and many others have been through the same thing may help relieve your child's guilt and fear.
If your child needs a doctor's attention because of a condition that resulted in ridicule or rejection by other kids (or even by adults), you'll need to double your efforts to relieve shame and blame.
Head lice, embarrassing scratching caused by pinworm, and involuntary daytime wetting or bedwetting are examples of conditions that are often misunderstood by others. Even if you've been very supportive, you should reassure your child again, before the visit to the doctor, that the condition is not his or her fault and that many kids have had it.
Of course, if your child has suffered an injury after disregarding safety rules, it's wise to point out (as matter-of-factly as possible) the cause-and-effect relationship between the action and the injury. However, you should still try to relieve guilt. You could say, "You probably didn't understand the danger involved in doing that, but I'm sure you understand now, and I know you won't do it that way again."
If your child repeatedly disobeys rules and becomes injured, speak to your doctor. This sort of worrisome behavior pattern needs a closer look.
In any of these cases, though, be sure to explain, especially to young kids, that going to the doctor for an examination is not a punishment. Be sure your kids understand that adults go to doctors just like kids do and that the doctor's job is to help people stay healthy and fix any problems.
You can use a doll or teddy bear to show a young child how the nurse will measure height and weight. It also helps to show how the doctor might:
It's important for parents to let their kids know that what they've taught them about the privacy of their bodies is still true, but that doctors, nurses, and parents must sometimes examine all parts of the body. Emphasize, though, that these people are the only exceptions.
If your child is going to the doctor because of an illness or medical condition or is going to visit a specialist, you may not even know what to expect during the examination.
When you're calling to make the appointment, you can ask to speak to the doctor or a nurse to find out, in a general way, what will take place during the office visit and exam. Then you can explain some of the procedures and their purpose in gentle language, appropriate to your child's age level. Your child will feel more secure understanding what's going to take place and why it's necessary.
Be honest, but not brutally honest. Let your child know if a procedure is going to be somewhat embarrassing, uncomfortable, or even painful, but don't go into alarming detail.
Reassure your child that you'll be there and that the procedure is truly necessary to fix — or find out how to fix — the problem. (Adolescents may prefer to be examined without a parent or with only a same-sex parent or same-sex chaperone present. That preference should be honored.)
Kids can cope with discomfort or pain more easily if they're forewarned, and they'll learn to trust you if you're honest with them.
If you don't know much about the illness or condition, admit that but reassure your child that you'll both be able to ask the doctor questions about it. Write down your child's questions.
If a blood sample will be taken during or after the examination, be careful how you explain this. Some young kids worry that "taking blood" means that all their blood will be taken. Let your child know that the body contains a great deal of blood and that only a very little bit of it (usually no more than 1 or 2 teaspoons [about 10 milliliters]) will be taken for testing.
Again, make certain that your child understands that the visit, with its embarrassing or uncomfortable procedures, is not a punishment for any misbehavior or disobedience.
Because your doctor is your best ally in helping your kids cope with health examinations, it's important to carefully select a doctor. Of course, you want one who's knowledgeable and competent. However, you also want a doctor who understands kids' needs and fears and who communicates easily with them, in a friendly manner and without talking down to them.
In the course of a physical exam, the doctor inspects, taps, and probes various parts of the body — procedures that may be embarrassing (or even physically uncomfortable) for kids. A good rapport between doctor and patient can minimize these feelings.
If your child's doctor seems critical, uncommunicative, disinterested, or unsympathetic, do not be afraid to change doctors. Ask for recommendations from other parents in your area or from other doctors whose opinions you trust.
If your child's illness or condition requires a specialist, ask your doctor to recommend someone who's knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly.
After all, adults want these characteristics in their own physicians, so as a parent you should serve as your child's advocate in seeking medical care.

Tuscon, AZ (Sports Network) - Mark Lyons scored a season-high 25 points on 9-
of-13 shooting to lead No. 7 Arizona past an upset-minded Stanford, 73-66, at
McKale Center.
Stanford scored the game's first 10 points, but were unable to stop Lyons and
Solomon Hill down the stretch. Hill scored 20 of his 23 points in the second
half as the Wildcats (20-2, 8-2 Pac-12) won their four straight since a home
loss to UCLA.
Dwight Powell and Aaron Bright netted 24 and 16 points, respectively, for the
Cardinal (14-9, 5-5), who were looking to build off a three-game winning
streak that featured a win over nationally-ranked Oregon.
They appeared on their way as a Josh Huestis jumper gave the Cardinal a 54-49
lead with under six minutes to play, but Arizona scored the next nine points.
Hill tied things with a 3-pointer and two free throws, and Lyons dished to
Angelo Chol for a go-ahead layup before putting in a deuce himself for a 58-54
advantage with 3 1/2 minutes remaining.
Bright drained a three from the corner coming out of a timeout, only to have
Lyons respond with a deep make of his own.
After a Stanford turnover, Hill made a jumper for a six-point cushion and put
the exclamation point on the comeback win with a thunderous dunk with just
over a minute to play.
Bright highlighted the game-opening 10-0 run with a pair of 3-pointers, but
the Cardinal made just one field goal over the final 11 minutes of the half.
Arizona was able to cut into its deficit and scored the last six points of the
first half to pull within 27-26. A Lyons layup gave the Wildcats their first
lead, 38-37, with 5 1/2 minutes gone in the second half.
Game Notes
Arizona was celebrating the 40th birthday of McKale Center, which hosted its
first game on Feb. 1, 1973 ... Arizona owns a 55-29 series advantage and has
won seven straight meetings ... Stanford fell to 2-5 in true road games.

Ever wonder what you look like through someone else's eyes? Women are so critical of ourselves! Did you know only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful?! HOW SAD! Dove started a campaign a few years ago in an attempt to increase this statistic and help women realize that "beautiful" isn't the airbrushed images of celebrities you see on the cover of a magazine. Short, thin, tall, fat, freckles, dimples, cellulite - YOU are beautiful!
You need to see this video! In continuing with their campaign, Dove asked women to describe themselves and had an artist draw a sketch based on that description. A stranger was then asked to describe the same person. The pictures "drawn" by the strangers were not only more kind, but more accurate. Let's be gentler on ourselves, ladies! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!

1972 Chevy Nova SS - A Bid for Victory - Building the eBay Editor's Challenge NovaWritten by on May 29, 2006 Contributors: Bob Mehlhoff 25 Grand, a deadline and a race. Sounds straightforward, right? It's not as easy as it sounds. Follow along as we go into the details of our eBay Editor's Challenge Nova.
It seemed like a dream gig at first: Take $25,000 of someone else's money and buy the car of your choice, plus as many parts and pieces to fix it up as the rest of the budget would allow. That's the way the eBay Motors Editor's Charity Challenge came across to most of us here when it was first announced. Sure there were details, like the part about buying everything on eBay Motors (most of us spend too much time there anyway), the mention of a competition at the conclusion of the project (giving us a reason to abuse the car built with someone else's money), the four-month deadline (there's always a catch), and the fact that the cars would later be auctioned on eBay Motors for charity (easy come, easy go). But we were focused on the bit about buying lots of stuff.
One of the teams we followed was the Bow Tie Bad Boys, a conglomeration of staffers from Chevy High Performance, Super Chevy, Popular Hot Rodding, and Car Craft, though the project was really handled by Chevy High's Bob Mehlhoff, while the wrenching and such was carried out by the guys at Johns Customz and Performance in Torrance, California. From the get go the team agreed that the car selected should not only be a Chevy, but a muscle-era example, and one that wasn't a complete basket case. With 25 large to spend, there seemed to be enough funding to procure a decent car and then make it even better.
Of course, with the way prices for classic musclecars have been climbing, the $25,000 budget didn't seem so grand once the search began. Mehlhoff worked it out by finding a '72 Nova SS that had already been treated to a list of enhancements; it was also local, so he could check it out and take delivery without the hassle of shipping. Of primary importance was the body and paint-the team didn't want to get into any restoration fiascos, given the time constraints. The Nova fit the bill perfectly, with camera-friendly orange paint and black stripes that actually looked good even up close. The interior had also been redone, and the drivetrain was sound, albeit mild.
A plan was laid out to treat the Nova to upgraded suspension and brakes, and before it was all over, an engine swap was added for good measure. The assigned goal was to bring the car to a competition where all 10 of the Editor's Challenge teams would vie for top honors using a variety of vehicles. Take a look at the improvements made to the Nova here, then flip to the piece on the Editor's Challenge to see how it stacked up. Meanwhile, scheming for next year's event has already begun.

The Nova was delivered to Johns Customz in Torrance, California, where the upgrade work would be done. Johns is a full-service facility for performance vehicles, handling all manner of restoration and modification. Upon arrival, the Nova was given the once-over to determine exactly what it already had and what it would need.The Nova's suspension was in decent shape, but in preparation for slalom competition, the stock upper and lower control arms were pulled and replaced with tubular pieces from Global West. The springs were also swapped for Hotchkis performance coils to firm up the rate while slightly lowering the car.A Hotchkis sway bar worked with a pair of Edelbrock shocks to finish off the front suspension. This setup should improve handling dramatically over the spindly stock sway bar and the parts store replacement shocks that were here previously.While they were at it, the guys at Johns also installed a set of Baer Racing 13-inch front brakes. The Baer kit contains everything needed for the swap, including new hubs already fitted with new Timken wheel bearings packed with Redline synthetic grease. The drilled and slotted 13-inch rotors slip over the wheel studs, and aluminum Baer dual-piston calipers squeeze SBS performance pads. This should give the Nova a leg up in the braking test.Out back, the original 8.5-inch 10-bolt rear was removed so that an Eaton limited-slip differential from The Gear Shop in Long Beach, California, could be installed. A set of 3.73:1 gears, also from The Gear Shop, would be mounted to the new diff as well. While the rear was out, Hotchkis leaf springs were added and would be complemented by a Hotchkis rear sway bar and another pair of Edelbrock shocks.Baer brakes also were used in the rear. While the rearend was apart, the caliper brackets were positioned on the ends of the axletubes. The stock axles were then reinstalled and the new 12-inch rotors slipped over the axle flanges. Aluminum PBR single-piston calipers with integral parking-brake mechanisms were installed when it was all back together. The Baer kit also included new cables to mate the calipers with the Nova's parking-brake linkage.Using high-performance brakes provided the perfect excuse to upgrade the rolling stock, since the 15-inch Rallys won't clear the larger rotors and calipers. A set of 17-inch ROH Sniper rims was procured via eBay along with a set of Sumitomo tires.The previous owner had equipped the Nova with a decent 327 engine running rebuilt stock iron heads, a mild cam, and an aftermarket carb and intake. It ran, but seemed to have a persistent overheating problem. Rather than messing with an unknown on a tight schedule, the team decided to take the opportunity to obtain a fresh engine, and while they were at it, to go for more cubes. So a 383-inch stroker short-block was purchased on eBay Motors from Dyno-Flo Performance in Las Vegas. The engine was spec'd with Probe forged pistons, Eagle forged 5.7-inch rods and a 3.75-inch-stroke crank.Edelbrock heads were installed using ARP head bolts and Fel-Pro gaskets. A set of Comp Cams stainless roller-rocker arms was also used. Finally, the engine was topped with an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap intake manifold and Edelbrock Performer 750-cfm carb. These parts were purchased on eBay Motors from Unlimited Speed Performance Parts.
The crew at Johns slipped the new small-block into the Nova, bolting it up to the existing Turbo 350 trans and 11-inch converter. The headers from the 327 were junk, so a new set of Hooker Comp 151/48-inch tubes was later obtained and installed by Pacific Muffler & Alignment. They were merged with the existing dual exhaust with turbo mufflers.After prior experiences with the Nova overheating, the team opted for some added insurance in the form of a Be Cool aluminum radiator and twin Spal electric fans. Once the engine was running and broken in, the car would run almost too cool at around 170 degrees F most of the time. Problem solved.Although one of the team's stratagems was to avoid body and paint work at all costs, they did make one concession by swapping the stock flat hood for one of Goodmark's steel cowl-induction pieces. Our experience with these has shown good fitment, and the added intake clearance was welcome with our taller manifold. And it looks cool. Johns Customz matched the paint beautifully. Once the car was back together and running, all that remained was to get some seat time and dial in the engine.

Hi, all,
My corporate email account's web access is protected by a third-party security software that requires a keyfob. As a result, I am unable to use any mail client that requires direct connection to Exchange, IMAP, MAPI, or even the Exchange OWA.
However, my company does support ActiveSync, which I use from my iPad without a keyfob. This makes me wonder: is it possible to write a desktop mail program that uses the the ActiveSync interface instead of the usual interfaces? If it is, perhaps Zimbra is such a program?

Hi, I've been evaluating Zimbra since version 3.x, and I was satisfied that it would be a fine replacement for our old Microsoft Exchange 5.5 server. I then noticed that version 4.x became available and that it could import calendar info from .PST files. Great! So, I began re-evaluating the new version.
Zimbra Import Wizard v3.x was working fine. But now that Zimbra Import Wizard v4.x attempts to import the calenar info, it aborts due to too many errors. So, could you please oh please have a checkbox in the Import Wizard to skip the calendar info? While it would be nice to have the calendar info, I'd rather skip it than have it fail.
I want to present Zimbra to my managers so I can get approval to buy it, but I'm stuck until the import works properly and consistently. We're getting inundated with spam and I would like to switch to Zimbra ASAP.

BATTLEMENT MESA - Backers of an elaborate and ambitious public park planned in Battlement Mesa scored a victory on Oct. 31, when they received a $350,000 grant from the recently established Garfield County Federal Mineral Lease District.
Backers of the park, to be located on Sipprelle Drive next to Grand Valley Middle School, say the grant will allow them to take initial steps toward construction.
"The first phase is to get surveying done," said Jerry Mohrlang of the Battlement Mesa community group "Common Ground," which has been a major player in the park's conception and design. "We've got a long way to go, even with this grant."
Mohrlang said the Battlement Mesa/Parachute Parks and Recreation Department, which is overseeing the project, is seeking more grants, and what ultimately gets built will depend on funding.
Staff at the Parachute Parks and Recreation District, which is overseeing the project, are continuing to apply for grants. The ultimate look of the park, according to Mohrlang, will depend on how much funding they attract.
"We are meeting Nov. 28 to discuss next steps," said Mary Anderson, district director. "We will have more details after that."
Project backers say the initial earth-moving and park infrastructure is expected to cost around $1.5 million. The total cost will depend on which elements of the park get the ultimate go-ahead.
As currently conceived, however, the park includes a mountain bike skills course with features for various skill levels, a playground modeled after a western frontier town, a fitness course, a stage for plays or concerts, and a barbecue and picnic area, among other features.
Gyles Thorneley, a landscape architect with the Aspen-based Connect One Design, said the park as a whole takes inspiration from the high desert landscape around it.
"This is very geologically driven," he said. "The main feature is meant to mimic a mesa" and various sections are meant to evoke the flat tops, ridges, deltas and rivers that define Western Colorado.
"There was a lot of community input that went into this," Thorneley said, noting that his firm produced three distinct designs based on a community survey, then allowed interested stakeholders to choose the current concept.
The $350,000 grant awarded to the park was the largest approved by the federal mineral lease district in its second round of funding. The lease district was established in 2011, to direct federal oil and gas lease payments made by energy companies to worthy projects throughout the county.
Antero Resources contributed to the project master plan, and both Antero and Encana Oil and Gas have pledged to help cover earth-moving costs, Thorneley said. Antero hopes to drill up to 200 wells within Battlement Mesa, although that effort is currently on hold due to low natural gas prices.
Thorneley noted the project team has also applied for a $350,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado, a state group that uses a portion of Lotto proceeds to fund open space and recreation projects. The team will know Dec. 11 whether it receives that award, Thorneley said.

Inequality and HBCUs– a CliffsNotes Version
The reason students are encouraged to avoid CliffsNotes is because in their haste to report the summary of assigned readings they may miss important themes, nuanced characters, and layers of meaning that are typically understood only with a full reading of the entire text. This caution is equally apropos about the rulings of federal courts. George R. La Noue, a professor of political science and public policy at the University of Maryland Baltimore County appears to have forgotten this caution when he described Judge Catherine Blake's ruling in the Coalition for Equity and Excellence in Maryland Higher Education, et al., v. Maryland Higher Education Commission, et al. (Coalition v. MHEC), as "anti-climatic and antiquated." He concluded that "closing or transferring academic programs will not integrate Maryland's historically black colleges." Mr. La Noue's opinions appeared in the Oct. 27 editions of the Baltimore Sun.
Mr. La Noue's failure to fully comprehend the issues that prompted the Coalition to file its suit against the State of Maryland, as well as his mischaracterization of both the substance and the significance of Judge Blake's ruling, is another reminder of the dangers of relying on Cliffs Notes if one is to truly appreciate important texts.
Specifically, Mr. La Noue's assertion that "Maryland officials had glibly promised to make the state's HBIs 'comparable and competitive' to its traditionally white institutions (TWIs)" is contradicted by the tortuous history of civil rights and higher education in Maryland. The goal of making all of Maryland's colleges and universities, including its HBIs, comparable and competitive was decades in the making and fiercely resisted by the state.
Based on a shallow understanding of the case, he surmises that the Coalition plaintiffs' "ultimate goal was more state money and an expanded role for HBIs." He asserts, without benefit of insight (since he is neither a plaintiff nor a member of the Coalition's legal team), that: "The coalition plaintiffs had no interest in closing or merging institutions or eliminating the very substantial gap in admissions standards which would have decimated enrollment among HBIs."
The central issue in the Coalition case is not integration, as Mr. La Noue would have us believe. The Coalition's "ultimate goal" is, in fact, twofold: first, to stop the state from continuing to discriminate against students, regardless of race and/or ethnicity, who are attending Maryland's public HBIs; and, second, to pursue remedies to stem the harm resulting from such continuing discrimination.
Mr. La Noue's summary of the judge's decision is mischaracterized, too. Judge Blake did not conclude that Maryland HBIs did not have limited missions nor did she find that the state's HBIs had received equitable funding. Judge Blake did find, however, that "the Coalition has proven that unnecessary program duplication continues in Maryland, to the detriment of its HBIs, and is traceable to the de jure era.
Judge Blake "strongly suggests the parties enter mediation." Mr. La Noue imagines a litany of horrors that could befall TWIs, particularly those that might affect his own university. Yet, Judge Blake's rather limited set of proposed remedies is merely the consequences of the state's decades-long failure to dismantle its segregated system of higher education. Mr. La Noue ignores Judge Blake's finding of continuing discrimination by the state and proposes nothing in the way of remedies for the continuing harm.
Mr. La Noue then asserts: "While all of the once segregated TWIs have worked hard to erase that past and welcome students from all backgrounds, the HBIs still seek to retain a racial identity." It is his final mischaracterization of this case that I find most revealing. Rather than engage in an honest and/or thorough assessment of the Coalition's case and Judge Blake's ruling, Mr. La Noue seems to be comfortable resorting to 1988 Willie Horton style of political theater to elicit support for his broad-brush views.

At the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, there's green grass and that other kind of grass. But while it's free and open-air, the Golden Gate Park festival has pretty much outgrown its lazin' on a sunny afternoon appeal. It's a massive crush of bodies and bicycles and the parking is hellish.
Slipping under the sonic radar is the San Francisco Bluegrass & Old-Time Festival, a non-profit, grassroots festival that runs for 9 days in local bars and small venues San Francisco, Berkeley, Piedmont and Fairfax.

Hooking up an aftermarket TB to my bike will not be a problem. Alex (my coworker, friend, engine guy, Subaru Turbo Guru) and I are both talented custom fabricators. He's very good with aluminum TIG and I can cut, bend, hammer and weld steel all day long. I guess what really grabs my attention with the ecotron set up is that it is EVERYTHING you need except plumbing for $700! I'll probably get the motor running without the turbo first with the auto tune feature to get a good baseline. Then install the turbo and map the ECU by crunching numbers according to the original baseline. Holy shit I'm excited!Scottie
The plans right now are to run 8:1 - 9.5:1 pistons, start at 5psi of boost and hopefully settle in around 8-10psi of boost. GHG or Ace Do you know if I can offset the camshaft/s when assembling the motor to change timing/duration in order to run/redline say 8000 RPMs? I plan on balancing the crankshaft to 10,000 RPMs. I'm also considering using the 1 piece alloy cylinders for the interceptors, I emailed Hitchcocks and they said it bolts up to the 700 case but no one has done it as if yet.

Top 10 Tools Every Racer Should HaveWritten by on October 1, 1999 Putting It All Together - 10 Tools Every Racer Should Have In The Garage
A race car is born in a garage through ingenuity, sweat, time, and of course, tools. Tools are as much a part of racing garages as the mechanics who use them. Though every garage has its own uniqueness, they all have the same goal of creating and maintaining a winning racing program. To accomplish this, you need the right tools.
The right tools in your garage are as necessary as the right tires on your car. Your garage needs a basic lineup of tools in order to complete even the most rudimentary jobs a race car requires, but with all the interesting and shiny new tools that are on the market today, selecting the basics can be difficult. The best way to know what tools you must have in your garage is to talk with a successful garage owner--that is what we did.
We visited with Robby Hamke, owner of RHR Race Cars in Concord, North Carolina, to tell us the top 10 tools he needs to keep a race car going. Among the tools listed, he also mentioned that proper note-taking is one of the most important tools a garage owner can use. So as you browse through the following list, remember that a pen and paper may be the most vital set of tools in your garage.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
A 110-volt welder is fairly sufficient to weld just about everything on a race car. You wouldn't want to build a race car from the ground up with one, but for smaller jobs, such as welding bumpers and other light welding, you will not find anything better.Hamke uses a hole-saw notcher for notching holes in bumpers and similar applications. The tool can be mounted in your drill press and is adjustable, so getting the right angle for any kind of tubing to be notched is a breeze. When used with a little cutting oil, a notcher should last a long time.A tubing bender is used, well, to bend tubing for your car. When you want to copy the bend of an existing pipe or need to make accurate, repeatable bends, this tool is invaluable. The degree indicator makes it real easy to copy a pipe off your car. An adjustable V-block is placed on the pipe. You set the degree you want the bend to be, then bend the pipe until it sits down on both ends. Simple.Get a 10-ton "port-a-power," as racers call them. A lot of people use a 4-ton to take to the racetrack, and it is a little bit cheaper, but it's not as strong or as durable and can't do as much as a 10-ton. Simply put, a 10-ton port-a-power is a hydraulic ram that, with attachments, can help push bent pieces back straight. When or if you bend your car, the port-a-power can be used to straighten out your chassis.You are going to need a portable chop saw for your garage and one that you can take to the race track. A chop saw, like the one shown above, makes nice straight cuts and is perfect for trimming parts off your car or for cutting tubing.Buy a good 2-ton floor jack with 4 inches of ground clearance and a steady seat for the car to rest on when it is lifted. Hamke has been around and he has seen plenty of cars fall off of those cheap floor jacks. The need for a floor jack is obvious, but make sure you play it safe and get a good one--if you look in the Winston Cup garages, that's what you'll see.If you do any kind of racing, you are definitely going to need snips to cut sheetmetal out or trim a wheelwell. Offset aviation snips, like the ones shown above, work very well, and if you take care of them, they will last forever.It's racing, parts are going to get banged up, and a hydraulic press comes in real handy if you get into a little wreck. If you have a centerpiece that is no longer center, or if you need to knock a ball joint out, just place the offending part in the press and it will straighten it up or knock that right out.How many times have you wished for a few more hands to hold parts, sheetmetal, or whatever in place while you work? Your wish is granted in the form of clamps. Duck-bill clamps, needle-nose clamps, and almost any clamps you can imagine are good to have in your shop for those times when an extra set of hands isn't available.
Hamke recommends you buy electric tools whenever possible because they are powerful and much more portable. A lot of people buy air tools for their garage, but then they can't use them at the racetrack because of the need for an air compressor. Electric tools to get include an impact gun, shears, grinders, and drills. Buying electric can also save you money by not having to stock your garage and your race-bound toolbox with separate equipment.
