Why waste money on boards that only do one thing well when you can have one that crushes everything? Lauri Heiskari must have thought the same thing when designing the DC Lauri Pro Snowboard, because the final product is what he shreds with whether it's a backcountry booter or a triple kink rail session. Micro Camber outside the bindings provides the pop and feel of camber board, while a flat profile between the bindings keeps it forgiving and floaty in powder.
The Micro Camber profile features a flat zone between the bindings for a floaty and stable feel, with 1.5mm of positive camber at the tip and tail for the power and pop of a traditionally cambered board. Quadrax fiberglass makes the board stiff and responsive for maintain control while bombing down steeps and increases pop to help you go big off backcountry booters. Camber Core technology uses pre-arched fiberglass for added response and resistance when flexing the tip and tail. The Stratus core features poplar for its lightweight, snappy feel, and DC replaced toxic plastic topsheet materials for a Fresh Deck topsheet that uses a ply of wood to give it the poppy feel of a crispy skate deck.

The 19th Annual Slamfest EventWritten by on April 1, 2011 Putting on Great Shows for Almost Two Decades
The old saying about practice makes perfect is a little misleading since you might neverachieve real perfection. It is true, however, that the more you do something, the better you get at it. Whether it's honing a cylinder head, pounding dents out of a fender, or putting on a car show, experience is the key. The more you have of it, the better the finished product will turn out. The MiniMadness crew, headquartered in Brandon, Florida, has gained a lot of experience over the years with the longest running, club-sponsored car and truck show in Florida. Slamfest is now in its 19th year and still drawing crowds to this cool fall get-together. The first week of October means warm weather and sunny days in central Florida. Chamber of commerce temps brought out more than 650 vehicles and a couple of thousand spectators, intent on enjoying the weekend with friends.
The biggest change this year was the new location, now held at the Alachua County Fairgrounds in Gainesville. Easy to get to and well laid out, the Fairgrounds became part of the fun, but it was just the beginning. The crowds enjoyed the cool collection of vehicles, drive-through judging expedited the awards classification, and vendors had loads of stuff for you and your truck. Lots of fun went on in the party-oriented, college town of Gainesville on Saturday night. Sunday morning activities (starting a little late to allow heads to clear) began with the famous Slamfest club games. A tradition at the event, the games are always an hour's worth of wacky fun for spectators and participants. The afternoon Miss Slamfest competition brought out a dozen Florida beauties, intent on entertaining the crowd and looking for their share of the $1,000 prize. Big prize giveaways preceded the awards ceremony where more than 100 winners took home laser-cut, powdercoated steel trophies as mementoes of the event.
Joe Cowert's dazzling 1957 Chevy 3100 captured Best of Show. Stored in a Mississippi barn for 25 years, the truck was given a complete makeover that included 2004 Silverado powertrain, airbag suspension hidden under the linear-actuated bed floor, and dozens of custom touches inside and out. Joe's truck is a former CCT feature truck, (July '09) and gets better every time we see it. If you'd like to enjoy a great collection of cars and trucks assembled in convenient central Florida, put the 2011 Slamfest on your event calendar now. Find out more at www.Minimadness.com CCT

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - A prison inmate found dead in his cell under what an official has called "suspicious" circumstances at the Menard Correctional Center has been identified.
Randolph County Coroner Randy Dudenbostel says the inmate was 25-year old Jason Hall. Hall was pronounced dead at 6:45 p.m. Thursday at the prison in Chester.
Dudenbostel conducted an autopsy Friday and called Hall's death suspicious but would release no other information because of an ongoing investigation.
Hall was serving a 13-year sentence for vehicular hijacking with a weapon in 2009 in Cook County.
State records show he was scheduled to be paroled in November 2015.
The Illinois Department of Corrections released a statement saying only an investigation is under way. A spokeswoman had no other information Friday night.

Nitrous Install - Cheap Street ChevelleWritten by on May 6, 2004 How To Install Nitrous-Oxide Injection On A V8-Powered Street Machine
The response to Car Craft's project Cheap Street Chevelle has been amazing. Readers have been sending in loads of mail offering advice on what mods should be done to Cheap Street to make it even better and faster. And that's the goal of this project--to use the car as a test mule for upgrades that readers want to see.
Most of the letters we get focus on making the Chevelle quicker in the quarter-mile. Of the "horsepower hungry" letters, many want to know how effective nitrous oxide really is. Does nitrous really deliver the power that it claims?
Car Craft reader Greg McGee wrote:
I've got a '67 Mustang with a 10:1 small-block V8 engine, a Holley 650-cfm carb and a street/strip cam. The car has a C4 automatic transmission, 2500-stall converter and 3.70:1 rear gears. So far my Mustang has run a best e.t. of 13.46 at 101 mph. How effective will a basic nitrous kit (not a big, full-race nitrous setup) be for my Mustang? Since your project Cheap Street Chevelle has similar parts to my car, maybe you can install nitrous on your car to see how much quicker it goes and how reliable it really is.
Well Greg, ask and you shall receive. This month we're installing a basic nitrous-oxide setup on our Chevelle to see if we can knock some notable time off of our e.t.'s--not just a tenth or two. We contacted the folks at Nitrous Oxide Systems (NOS) in Cypress, California, to help us choose a basic system. By basic we mean an adjustable kit that offers a power increase up to about 150 horsepower. Although NOS has dozens of nitrous kits available (including its extremely popular 250hp Cheater kits), the technicians recommended a more tame Super Power Shot series kit (PN 5104). The kit comes with everything needed to install the system and is fully adjustable between 50 and 175 horsepower, making it perfect for our daily driver Chevelle. In addition, the Super Power Shot is affordably priced at about $350, making it perfect for a street machiner on a limited budget.
If you've been keeping up on project Cheap Street Chevelle, you know that it recently got a new low-buck engine (which produced 355.6 horsepower). The engine was strong enough to power the car to consistent 13.5-second e.t.'s. Since then, we've rebuilt the stock TH350 transmission, installed a new Carter mechanical fuel pump (the stock fuel pump was starving the engine at high rpm) and bolted on a set of sticky Mickey Thompson 26x8.5-inch E.T. Drag slicks for track testing. Before installing the nitrous system, we retested the car with the new tranny, fuel pump and slicks in place. We're happy to report that our rig ran a 13.18 at 100.33 mph, which was immediately backed up with a 13.19 at 100.03 mph through the mufflers!
Plenty O' Fuel
Being that high-rpm engine operation and an auxiliary nitrous system can easily overtax a stock fuel system, you should consider updating your car with a high-performance fuel pump. In addition, a fuel-pressure regulator is a good idea so fuel psi can be monitored. Often times, an aftermarket, high-volume, mechanical fuel pump will work great for nitrous systems in the 50- to 150hp range. But if you intend on running a heavy-duty nitrous system (such as an NOS Cheater Series or a Fogger setup), it's much advised for you to upgrade to an auxiliary electric fuel pump, such as one from Mallory. A few weeks earlier, we had upgraded project Cheap Street Chevelle with a new Carter 7-psi/110-gph mechanical pump, so our fuel delivery system was adequate for our new NOS Super Power Shot nitrous system.

02. Begin the nitrous install by disconnecting the battery cables to avoid any sparking mishaps. Then disconnect the carburetor fuel lines, throttle linkage, return springs and transmission kick-down cable(s). Then carefully remove the carburetor, making sure not to drop any bolts, washers and/or gunk inside of the intake manifold.03. Being that our Chevelle runs a 750-cfm Q-Jet carburetor atop an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, it uses two studs in the rear and two long bolts in the front to hold the carb in place. Because the NOS nitrous injector plate goes between the carb and the manifold, longer studs and bolts are required to provide the additional mounting threads to make up for the added thickness of the nitrous plate. Simply unthread the original carb mounting studs/bolts and thread in the new studs supplied in the NOS Super Power Shot nitrous kit.04. Install the new intake-manifold base gasket (included in the kit) and carefully set the nitrous injector plate in position--the fuel port faces forward and the N2O port faces toward the rear (it is marked on the plate). Because our NOS kit is for a Q-Jet carb, the nitrous plate has special kick-outs to clear the carb's large secondary throttle blades.05. One of the biggest mistakes rookie nitrous installers make is using Teflon(R) tape to seal the pipe threads on the various nitrous fittings. The tape is often applied improperly and either comes unraveled from the threads or gets sucked into the nitrous and/or fuel line and clogs the jets. This leads to rich/lean conditions and big problems. NOS recommends using a dab of liquid Teflon(R) thread sealant. Don't smother the threads with the sealant, just add a dab. As you tighten the fitting in, the sealant will work its way into the threads and form a tight seal.06. After adding a dab of Teflon(R) thread sealant, carefully install the special fuel filter that bolts directly to the NOS fuel solenoid. Be sure to snug up the filter with a wrench, but don't overtighten the unit, or the tiny threads will probably strip. The extra fuel filter keeps the fuel portion of the nitrous system from getting clogged, which would cause a lean condition that can destroy an engine.07. Installing the nitrous and fuel jets into the injector plate is easy. Simply insert the jet (with its tapered end facing outward) into the fitting opening until the jet fully seats. Then add the L-shaped tube (included in the nitrous kit) and carefully tighten the nut. Do not overtighten the nut, because it only takes a slight bit of pressure to properly seat/seal the jet. Once again, overtightening will likely strip the tiny threads.08. After installing and tightening the L-shaped tubes (one leading to the fuel solenoid and one to the nitrous solenoid) to the injector plate, carefully thread on and tighten the tube to the fuel and nitrous solenoids. Notice the auxiliary fuel filter in the fuel solenoid.09. Normally, the fuel line would come up from the fuel pump and feed directly into the side of the carburetor. However, for the Super Power Shot nitrous kit you must cut the fuel line and splice in a special T-style fitting (supplied). This fitting allows fuel to be delivered to both the carb and the fuel solenoid of the nitrous system. Try to keep all fuel lines as short as possible and away from hot engine components and rotating parts (such as the fan and pulleys).
11. Once the nitrous and fuel solenoids have been hooked up, add the new carb-to-nitrous plate gasket (included) and tighten the carb down with the new bolts. Earlier, the longer carb studs were added for the rear of the Q-Jet carb, but you'll also need to install the longer bolts (included) that tighten down the front of the carb. After the carb is tightened down, reinstall the fuel line and various vacuum lines (such as the one that goes to the distributor). Fully open and close the carb's throttle blades a few times to ensure that everything operates correctly and nothing binds.12. Although the NOS Super Power Shot nitrous kit comes with the hardware to mount the activation switches in the cockpit of the car, we chose to upgrade to a throttle-activated switch (PN 15640). This switch activates the nitrous system only when the carb is in the wide-open-throttle position. The switch is a great safety feature--if the throttle is backed off slightly, the nitrous system shuts off automatically. This thwarts backfires, lean conditions and so on. Plus, the switch increases dragstrip consistency because it activates at W.O.T. each time, not when the driver thinks the engine is at W.O.T. To install the switch, simply bolt it on the intake manifold in a position that allows the carb linkage to swing back and depress the switch at full throttle.13. Whether you use a handheld or a throttle-linkage-activated nitrous switch, you'll need to mount the special relay in a clutter-free area away from hot engine parts. We fastened our relay on the firewall just rearward of the master cylinder. Hook up the various power, ground and solenoid activation wires to the relay as the instructions show. All wiring is straightforward and easy--no degree in electrical engineering is needed.14. After mounting the relay switch, run the necessary wires through the firewall and into the cockpit. Mount the on/off switch(es) in a convenient location near the driver. Being that we're not smokers, we mounted our switches on the bottom of our ashtray. When the need for nitrous arrives, simply flip the switch and you're ready for action. The switch on the left is for our bottle heater (optional) and the other is our on/off switch.15. Begin the bottle mounting procedure by slipping the mounting brackets onto the nitrous bottle. Only snug the bolts finger-tight at this point. Install the taller bracket on the valve side of the bottle and the shorter bracket at the bottom of the bottle. If you reverse the brackets, the siphon tube inside the nitrous bottle won't properly pick up the nitrous oxide, and problems will result.16. Pick a clutter-free, sturdy area in the trunk to mount the nitrous bottle. We chose the passenger side of the trunk just rearward of the wheelwell as our location. Using a felt-tipped pen, mark around the base of the mounting brackets and the bracket bolt holes. Then remove the bottle and bracket assembly from the trunk. Use a handheld drill to drill out the necessary mounting holes for the brackets.17. Once the necessary bolt holes have been drilled, install and tighten the bottle brackets to the trunk floorpan. Then re-install the nitrous bottle and tighten the straps in place. Notice the strap and wires wrapped around the nitrous bottle. This item is an optional NOS bottle heater (PN 14164) that heats the bottle to a specific temperature dictated by a small, built-in thermostat. The best (and most consistent) results from nitrous oxide occur when the nitrous delivery pressure is about 900 psi. As temperature drops, so does the nitrous pressure, and this affects dragstrip e.t.'s (due to rich or lean conditions from inconsistent pressure). The thermostat keeps the bottle temperature at about 80 degrees even if cool nighttime temperatures drop below 0 degrees! An in-car switch activates the heater.18. Once the nitrous bottle is securely mounted in position, determine the location where the braided line from the bottle valve will pass through the trunk floorboard. Carefully drill the necessary hole, making sure not to puncture anything that may be on the underside of the trunk. Afterward, deburr the hole and run the braided line up through the hole and onto the nitrous-bottle valve.19. We opted to install a nitrous pressure gauge (PN 15910) so we could monitor the nitrous-bottle pressure. Paired with a bottle heater, the nitrous system is much easier to tune and will be more consistent. Before each run, check the bottle pressure to ensure that it is about 900 psi. If not, simply flip on the bottle heater and you'll be ready for action.
20. Run the other end of the braided nitrous line up to the engine-compartment area and mount it to the nitrous solenoid. Rather than tie-wrapping it to the car frame and nearby hardware, we took a little extra time to snake the line through the framerails all the way up to the front of the car. Because our braided line is within the framerails, the chances of it being snagged or damaged by nearby moving parts are greatly reduced. Notice the tape over the end of the line. This prevented dirt and crud from getting inside the line while we routed it under our not-so-clean '70 Chevelle.21. This is what our final trunk-mount nitrous-bottle setup looks like. It's securely fastened to the trunk floorboard, has a bottle heater (optional) with necessary wiring and remotes, is mounted at the correct angle and has an inline nitrous psi gauge. Simply open the main-bottle valve, arm the system by way of the in-cockpit switch and hold on. Note: Whenever you're done with or not using the nitrous system, always turn off the main-bottle valve. This prevents the high nitrous pressure from exerting unwanted force on the small seals in the nitrous solenoid, which can cause them to swell. In other words, don't leave the bottle turned on overnight.22. We had awesome results with the NOS Super Power Shot nitrous system. We tried different nitrous power levels to evaluate their effects on quarter-mile performance. However, we didn't go up to full power (largest jets) because we didn't want to overtax our mechanical fuel pump and hurt the engine. If we were to add an auxiliary electric fuel pump with a fuel-pressure regulator, we could use the full potential of the nitrous system. However, running the middle jet setting (125 horsepower), we reduced our e.t.'s from a 13.18 at 100.3 mph to 12.29 at 109.3 mph through the mufflers! That's a 0.9-second reduction in e.t. with a 9-mph increase in trap speed--not bad for a $350 NOS nitrous kit and a day's worth of install time. The best part is, with the Mickey Thompson slicks hooking and running nitrous off the line, our Chevelle would pull its left front tire off the ground about an inch. After the track tomfoolery, we drove the car home (more than 50 miles away) without a problem and later drove it to a cruise-in.

Normal, IL (Sports Network) - Illinois State may have found its answer for the
loss of the Missouri Valley Football Conference's all-time passing yardage
Former Iowa State starter Jared Barnett announced Thursday on Twitter that he
plans to transfer to Illinois State. He has two seasons of eligibility
remaining, beginning with the 2013 season.
"Well it's Official. I'm headed up to Illinois State in a few days to join the
Redbird nation!" Barnett said in a tweet.
Illinois State is coming off a 9-4 season in which it reached the FCS national
quarterfinals, but the Redbirds will lose four-year starting quarterback Matt
Brown, the MVFC's 2012 offensive player of the year and its all-time leader
with 10,591 passing yards. He also threw for a school-record 78 touchdowns.
Barnett, from Garland, Texas, was in and out of the Iowa State starting lineup
since late in the 2011 season. He threw for 376 yards in a 37-31 double-
overtime win over then-No. 2 Oklahoma State in 2011 to knock the Cowboys out
of the national title picture.
Barnett threw for 1,825 yards and 12 touchdowns in two seasons at Iowa State.

|Service sale is success
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Holyoke High School's Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) and FFA held their annual service sale and Rocky Mountain Osyter Fry Tuesday, March 31.
The service of 56 members was sold, including three who are members of both organizations, so their sale price was split between both.
FFA had a total of 26 participants, raising an average of $116.15 per member. FCCLA sold the service of 33 members for an average of $137.73.
This year's top seller was Taylor Haidle at $270.
Approximately 130 meals were sold, and due to the good price buyers paid for auctioned roast beef and rocky mountain oysters, the groups almost broke even on the meal. As a general rule, approximately $200 is lost on the meal each year.
"It was a great sale," said FCCLA advisor Susan Ortner. "And was probably better than we had hoped for in tough economic times," she added. "Thanks to all who supported both organizations."

text: Photo Gallery Pictures: 12 Ancient Landmarks on Verge of Vanishing A Haitian palace, a Swahili port town, and a Maya complex are among the ancient sites disappearing due to modern neglect, a new report says. PUBLISHED Mon Oct 25 02:09:00 EDT 2010 0 1 / 12 Cradle of Medieval Architecture Damaged frescoes in the Church of St. Gregory of Tigran Honents tell a story of neglect in the medieval city of Ani, now part of Turkey.Sitting in a militarized zone near the current Turkish-Armenian border, the city is one of 12 cultural sites on the verge of collapse, according to a report released this week by the San Francisco, California-based Global Heritage Fund.Settled by Armenians in the 10th and 11th centuries, Ani holds churches and other buildings that helped inspire the Gothic style across Europe. The city was abandoned in the 14th century, when all Armenians were forced to leave under Turkish rule. Today the unprotected ruins are prone to looting and vandalism.Similar sites around the world also hold significant archaeological and cultural value but are at risk due to looting, development pressures, unsustainable tourism, insufficient management, and wars or other conflicts, the report says."I don't think they'll vanish completely. They'll just be ruins that are far less than they could be," said Jeff Morgan, the Global Heritage Fund's executive director. Modest investments could help restore and develop these sites for generations of sustainable tourism, according to the preservation group.(Also see pictures of the 11 most endangered historic sites in the United States.)—John Roach Photograph by Umit Bektas, Reuters Loved to Death? The recently restored Saint Volodymyr Cathedral (background) stands in contrast with the ruins of a basilica dating back to the sixth century A.D. in Chersonesos, Ukraine.The area, on the southwestern tip of the Crimean Peninsula (map), was settled as early as the sixth century B.C. Once famed for its wines and coinage, the carefully planned city of Chersonesos went on to become one of the richest Byzantine civilizations on the Black Sea. (Related: "First Wine? Archaeologist Traces Drink to Stone Age.")The site has "enormous potential for both archaeological discovery and the study of hundreds of generations of human history," the Global Heritage Fund says in its report. But Chersonesos is now being "loved to death" due to unmanaged tourism and the pressures of urban development. Photograph by Wojtek Buss, Photolibrary Sifted From Sand A Palestinian man cleans a Tree of Life floor mosaic shortly before U.S. First Lady Laura Bush's 2005 visit to Hisham's Palace, an ancient site north of the West Bank town of Jericho (map).The eighth-century Umayyad palace was still under construction when it was damaged and covered by sand during an earthquake around A.D. 747. The ruins lay forgotten until archaeologists rediscovered them in 1934. (See a picture of Umayyad ruins in Lebanon.)Today experts have a basic understanding of the historic site, but they fear much of the palace's surviving remains may disappear as Jericho continues to expand its urban and agricultural developments. Photograph by David Silverman, Getty Images Swahili Settlement A mosaic of tightly clustered rooftops decorates an aerial view of Lamu, Kenya, one of the oldest and best preserved Swahili settlements in East Africa. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the old town of Lamu dates back to the 12th century and still boasts many traditional architectural styles of Swahili culture.Major threats to the site include a proposed port project and infrastructure for the oil industry. The development "would result in unprecedented new levels of population growth and put strong pressures on both the cultural and natural values of the region," according to the Global Heritage Fund report. Photograph by Bobby Haas, National Geographic History Washing Away Dating back to the third century B.C., Mahasthangarh in Bangladesh is one of the earliest urban archaeological sites in South Asia. Parts of the ancient capital were in use until the 18th century A.D., and the site is still sacred to Hindus.But years of neglect, looting, vandalism, and lack of funding have damaged Mahasthangarh. For example, heavy rainfall and highly saline soil have been eating away at the site's poorly maintained terra-cotta artwork, according to the Global Heritage Fund. Photograph by Susan Liebold, Alamy Chronicles of Nineveh The rebuilt gates and mud-brick walls around the ancient city of Nineveh, near modern-day Mosul, Iraq, are popular tourist attractions. Nineveh was the capital of the Assyrian Empire from 705 to 612 B.C., but the city was reduced to rubble by attacks from Medes, Babylonians, and Susianians. Archaeologists found the "lost" city in the mid-19th century and began excavations and reconstructions.Still—like many of the sites on the Global Heritage Fund list—Nineveh suffers from the pressures of modern society. "At site after site after site, you are losing half the site to new development, encroachment, [and] you're getting looting of the site," the group's Morgan said. "We are not even talking about natural disasters." Photograph by Randy Olson, National Geographic King's Hiding Place Sometimes called the Versailles of the Caribbean, Haiti's Palace of Sans-Souci was constructed in the early 19th century by freed slaves to be the royal residence of King Henri Christophe I. But the king's subjects revolted in 1820, forcing him into hiding in the palace, where he eventually committed suicide.Once elaborately furnished, the palace crumbled in an 1842 earthquake, and today the ruined structure is rapidly deteriorating due to poor drainage and neglect, according to the Global Heritage Fund.A modest investment of a few million U.S. dollars to shore up the palace would lead to a much needed boost to the local economy in terms of tourism, according to Morgan. "But if you don't take care of it, it loses value. People stop coming," he said. Photograph by James P. Blair, National Geographic Basin of Maya Mysteries The Mirador Basin in Guatemala, considered the cradle of Maya civilization, sits adjacent to the well-known Classical Maya ruins in Tikal National Park, including the Great Plaza of Tikal, seen above in an aerial picture.The four cities in the Mirador Basin predate Tikal by as much as 1,200 years, but the Mirador ruins continue to lie abandoned under 2,000 years' worth of jungle growth. Threats to the approximately million-acre (405,000-hectare) site include looting, slash-and-burn agriculture, and illegal logging. (Explore an interactive map of the Maya Empire.)Archaeologist Richard Hansen leads a project exploring the ancient site and is a proponent of responsible tourism as a means to protect the region."That will provide revenue for the poorest of Guatemala's population, and that's the key, to involve them in the model," he said. (Related: "Bowls of Fingers, Baby Victims, More Found in Maya Tomb.") Photograph by George P. Mobley, National Geographic Industrial Crossroads A complex of caves, monasteries, and mosques, the city of Taxila in Pakistan was a crossroads of industry in the ancient Middle East. Four distinct settlement sites—each belonging to different time periods—show the evolution of urban development over the course of five centuries, beginning in the sixth century B.C., according to the Global Heritage Fund.Today the ruins and nearby Taxila Museum suffer from insufficient management—some areas of the site serve as garbage dumps, for example. Other threats include looting, the toll of regional war, and uncontrolled mine blasts that shake excavated artifacts from museum shelves. Photograph by James L. Stanfield, National Geographic East Meets West Above, the ruins of an ancient gymnasium stand in Famagusta, Cyprus, once considered among the richest cities in the world. Founded as early as the third century B.C., Famagusta served as a key trading port and a center for political relationships between the Middle East and Europe, according to the Global Heritage Fund.Host to the coronations of Crusader kings, the city's European heritage was neglected after it was conquered by the Ottomans in the 16th century. The site now sits in territory occupied by the Turkish army. (Related: "Lost Crusaders' Tunnels Found Near Palace on Malta.")"Lack of attention, lack of funding, and gradual deterioration of the monuments in Famagusta are threatening the ancient city's potential for survival," the Global Heritage Fund notes in its report. Photograph from Photolibrary Infiltrated Fort Chinese President Hu Jintao (second from the left) waves alongside a delegation of tourism officials during a 2005 visit to Intramuros, the oldest district in Manila, the capital of the Philippines.Spanish settlers constructed the historic walled fortress of Fort Santiago in the district in the 16th century. Much of Intramuros was heavily damaged by U.S. Air Force bombings during World War II.Today the greatest threat to the restored site is modernization. International chains—including Starbucks and McDonald's—are found within Fort Santiago's walls, and developers in Manila seem eager for further expansion, according to the Global Heritage Fund. Photograph by Joel Nito, AFP/Getty Images Temples' Potential Only 72 of the original 108 terra-cotta temples remain intact in the 18th-century village of Maluti, India. The temples were built during the Pala dynasty by devotees of the Hindu goddess Mowlakshi. Other temples at the site were dedicated to Shiva, Durga, Kali, and Vishnu.Today, neglect, poor drainage, and overgrown vegetation are taking a toll on the complex. But "with proper restoration and maintenance, the temples have the potential to be a major source of economy in the small town of Maluti," the Global Heritage Fund says in its report."With no such plan in place, the temples are fast deteriorating beyond repair."(See pictures of the new seven wonders of the world, as chosen in 2007.)

Im 64", 34" inseam, 246 lbs, and this 7 mm wetsuit fit perfectly right out of the box. After wearing an older, two-piece wetsuit for years, Ive decided that the one-piece, Hyperstretch jumpsuit is definitely the way to go! I wear a dive skin underneath to help donning it and still the fit is great. With hood, gloves and booties, its warm enough for me to dive in 55 degree F water, but I switch to my drysuit for colder water. (Keep in mind that Im from New England and were used to cold water diving :). Ive seen dive masters wearing 7 mm wetsuits in the Caribbean!).

when we boat dive, its far easier to clip our bcs off to a floating line in the water, put on our drysuits, mask, and fins on deck, and then finish suiting up in the water. one problem that arises sometimes is that regulator hoses, computer hoses, or drysuit inflator hoses can end up tucked in behind your back or under your cumberbund. i put one clip on a d-ring on the lower part of each of my bc straps (two clips total), and clip all of the hoses to the d-rings before i begin donning the bc. inflator hose and computer hose on left, main regulator and safe-second regulator hoses on the right. now all of the hoses are kept in line with the bc straps while i fasten the cumberbund and the waist strap. then i just unclip the hoses and attach/move them to my normal dive configuration inflator hose to drysuit, computer to retractor, safe-second to mouthpiece holder, main regulator to mouth. no more having to undo and take off the bc and start the process all over again! of course, my dive buddy can always help me get the hoses out from behind my back etc., but i like to try to get myself all squared away by myself. these clips should also be useful in keeping your computer/gauge package from dragging all over the coral when warm water diving. please use one for that purpose or get a gauge retractor!

1929 Ford Model A Channeled Roadster - Born Out Of Necessity, Fueled By DesireWritten by on September 1, 2009 Kendra Fleharty's Model A Roadster
Getting taken advantage of is a bitter pill to swallow, to say the least. But being taken for a ride by a shade tree mechanic usually comes with its share of hard-earned lessons and, like our 43rd president so eloquently put it, "Fool me once, shame on you. You fool me, you can't get fooled again."
Kendra Fleharty learned this lesson indeed the hard way when she bought her first California car after moving from Colorado. Being a fan of all things classic American automobilia and claiming a '66 Mustang as her first car, it seemed only natural for the newly christened Angeleno to purchase something with a little more class and history, perhaps a decade or so older. And so, following a classified ad, she found herself in Palm Springs, face to face with perhaps one of the most distinct marks of the '50s: Cadillac.
She bought the '57 and promptly proceeded to drive the doors off it, all four, until the original 365 finally gave up the ghost. Needing a rebuild, she took the Caddy to a local engine house that rebuilt the powerplant for a hefty sum. A few short weeks later, and she found herself in the same spot, with a TKO'd engine. This time, however, Kendra decided to outsmart the engine builder at his own game and, armed with a handful of manuals and books, proceeded to learn all there is to know about vintage Cadillac engines. And so, out of necessity, a hot rodder was born.
After immersing herself in all things technical in regards to the old behemoth, Kendra felt she had enough automotive understanding that it was time to tackle something a bit more complicated. So the Cadillac was put up on the chopping block to garner enough capital to buy herself what her inner hot rodding soul really desired: A genuine article '30s Ford roadster.
Now well versed, she knew better than to jump at the first hot rod that came her way and sought advice from a few local hot rodders from the Burbank Choppers. Her trouble was well earned and after a chat with Chopper member Aaron Kahan at the Los Angeles Roadster Show, she had a line on a '29 roadster for sale in Lake Elsinore, a locale slightly more elevated than the Los Angeles basin she called home, but nearby none the less.
The roadster turned out to not only be the genuine article, but it appeared that at some point someone had the mind to turn it into a lakes car by removing the inner structure of both doors and the decklid, welded up the doors, and relieved the cowl to accept a set-back engine position. The wheelwells were also cut out, most likely for an altered wheelbase setup of some sort and there were snaps around the edge of the cockpit for a tonneau cover. An Auburn dash had also been installed in place of the original Model A unit with a mysterious set of holes, intriguingly similar in dimension to those of early postwar timing tags. Unfortunately, save for the body and chassis, there were no further clues to the origins or history of the old hot rod.
But Kendra was pleased regardless of the lineage of her old roadster and soon set about repairing the damaged crossmembers and other chassis items. A Super Bell dropped I-beam axle was slung off split '40 Ford wishbones on a transverse spring with '40 Ford binders, while out back she opted for a beefy Currie 9-inch rearend located by a set of Speedway ladder bars on a similarly related spring. Rolling responsibilities were relegated to a set of 16-inch Kelsey Hayes wires wrapped in period-correct Firestone bias-ply treads.
Given her earlier penchant for and knowledge of Cadillac Motor Cars, it seemed a natural to drop in an engine of similar pedigree to which her hot rodding heritage was born. She found a 390ci engine from a '62 and turned it over to a knowledgeable engine builder she had met since her initial fiasco, Fernando Alonso, who raised the displacement to 401 cubes. An Isky cam was slipped in during the rebuild and the assembled short-block was then topped off with a 4x2 Edelbrock intake with four Stromberg 97 carbs. The original points distributor was converted by Davis Unified Ignition to electronic ignition and a set of custom lakes-style headers were, among other items, fabricated by Jimmy White at Circle City Hot Rods. The Cad was then mated via a Four C's-prepped B&M TH350 transmission and a '62 T-bird driveshaft to the Currie rear.
Working with the original sheetmetal at hand, Kendra opted to leave the doorskins welded to the body and further exaggerated the seamless lines by installing a vintage Chris Craft windshield that wrapped around the cowl and flowed into the doors. With minimal bodywork necessary, she then sprayed the body in Rustoleum Black and the contrasting components in PPG Baltic Blue. Inside the cockpit, the Auburn dash was also retained, filled with vintage Stewart-Warner Blue Line gauges. Kendra found that a Flat-Four VW banjo steering wheel closely mimicked the early Ford styling and fit a '42 Ford horn button to mate the VW wheel to her Ford.
While the popular perception when a girl is seen driving a hot rod is to assume that her husband, boyfriend, or father built the car, either for her or himself, make no mistake, this is a hot rod built by a girl who did all the homework and knows the history as well as, if not better than, most of the younger guys in the scene today. She's paid her dues in blood, sweat, and tears, just like the rest of us, even more so in some cases. So if you see a black and blue '29 roadster chewing up your tail in the rearview mirror, do us all a favor and ease over into the right lane, as Kendra not only has a determined mind but a lead foot. And we won't even mention the Hemi-powered '34 Ford five-window drag car she's building because you guys would just get jealous.

The 390 Cad was punched out to 401 inches before being bathed in chrome and polished accessories, including the 4x2 induction setup and HEI-converted distributor. Those are Maund air cleaners atop the polished Strombergs.Chris Craft windshield posts were an eBay score that fit perfectly given the fact that the cowl had been molded and the doors welded up.A Flat Four VW wheel was borrowed and mated to the Ford column, along with a horn button from a '42 Ford.The Auburn dash had been flipped around and installed before Kendra purchased the car, but those Blue Line Stewart-Warner gauges and accessory knobs were an addition all her own.Taillights are '49-51 Ford backup lights with red tinted lenses.

EDGEWOOD, Md. (AP) - Harford County authorities are investigating nude photos posted on Facebook that appear to be of girls from Edgewood High School.
Sheriff's office spokesman Edward Hopkins said Friday that the page was taken down shortly after police began looking into the matter Tuesday.
Hopkins says deputies were alerted by the mother of a boy who lives in the school district. The spokesman says deputies looked at the website and saw more than a dozen pictures of young women in various stages of undress, including some fully naked.
He says the page title referred to Edgewood High School but it wasn't the school's official page.
Hopkins says the photos contained no evidence of sexual activity or coercion, so child pornography laws may not apply.

ISU Student-Athletes Give Back
AMES, Iowa- Members of Iowa State's Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) came together this holiday season to assemble and deliver a dozen Thanksgiving baskets to less fortunate families in the Ames area on Nov. 19.
SAAC has provided Thanksgiving dinners to less fortunate members of the Ames community for over 10 years. The tradition of giving back continued this year as the SAAC worked with the First Christian Church in Ames to locate families in need.
The student-athletes shopped for Thanksgiving basket items with funding that comes out of the SAAC budget. This year, the baskets included a full traditional Thanksgiving meal.
Iowa State gymnast Ashley Kent helped to assemble this year's Thanksgiving baskets.
"I have been involved in thanksgiving baskets for the past three years at Iowa State," Kent said. "I got involved because I think it is very important to give back to our community and help out those in need to have a good Thanksgiving dinner.
"The experience is so rewarding. I really hope that these baskets can give families in need a chance to spend time together at the holidays."
Men's cross country and track runner Alex Whitesell also participated.
"I got involved in the Thanksgiving basket project because it is a great way to give back to the Ames community," Whitesell said. "I feel as a student-athlete it is our responsibility to give back to the community that supports both our university and athletic program. There are times that it is easy to forget that Ames has everyday people who are struggling and can't provide a Thanksgiving dinner and it feels great to provide them with that dinner.
"The experience was great because I got to interact with other student-athletes who cared about the Ames community as well. It made me proud to be a Cyclone."
Gymnast Jasmine Swyningan shopped for the baskets.
"I became involved with the Thanksgiving Basket project this year because I believe it's a great thing for us to do to give to those in need," Swyningan said. "The holiday season is so stressful for everyone, and anything we can do to help reduce financial burden for people in our community seems necessary."
The Iowa State men's golf team delivered all 12 baskets to members of the First Christian Church in Ames.
For the remainder of the holiday season, each team will be adopting a family through the Youth and Shelter Services Adopt-A-Family program and purchasing presents for them.

WHEELING - Arguably the 2011 Linsly football team might have been the best in school history. Coach B.J. Depew's perfect-record squad captured the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference 2A championship after outscoring its opponents by a dominating 425-108 margin and the Cadets had six of their 12 graduating senior stalwarts selected on The Intelligencer's All-Valley Small School Team.
Linsly also probably would have enjoyed a huge representation on the West Virginia All-State Class A roster but none of its players were eligible since the private school is not a member of the SSAC.
The capper to this brilliant season came when the Cadets rolled 54-18 against repeat Class A state titlist Wheeling Central in a battle of 9-0 powerhouses at Wheeling Island Stadium.
Ironically, last year marked the fourth time for Linsly to record an undefeated season and all of those teams were coached by guys named Depew. Terry Depew, B.J.'s father and one of the area's most successful football coaches during his tenure, directed the Cadets to back-to-back perfect seasons in 1986 and 1987. Terry Depew then followed that up with another unblemished campaign in 1996.
Supporting belief that last year's team might have been the most talented at Linsly is that fact that each and every one of the graduating seniors are continuing their athletic careers in college. Nine of them are playing football, while quarterback Alex Stephens has joined the baseball program at West Virginia University. Haydon Stanley signed to play baseball for Bethany College and Jimmy McCleery will be a member of the lacrosse team at Alderson-Broaddus.

Committed to play football are Akil Blount, Florida A&M; Mark Dodd, Lafayette; Ryan Riethmiller, Bucknell; Adam Jones, John Carroll University; Anthony Thompson, Neal Drennan and Gabe Hill, all committed to Bethany; Ricky Jordan, St. Francis University in Loretta, Pa., and Chris Stephens, Alderson-Broaddus.
Twin brothers Alex and Chris Stephens were first team All-Valley honorees along with Blount, Dodd, Reithmiller and Thompson.
Alex Stephens surpassed all-time Linsly standards by passing for 1,712 yards and 28 touchdowns. He completed 68 percent of his passes (95 of 139) and threw five interceptions. Blount hauled in 28 passes for 465 yards and nine touchdowns. Another two-way stalwart, Dodd scored 11 touchdowns as a running back and turned in 78 tackles on defense, 13 of those stops coming behind the line of scrimmage.
''The time those kids and their teammates put in over the years finally paid off,'' B.J. Depew said. ''They might be the best group of seniors ever at Linsly. Normally you have some marginal kids in every class. That class did not have any marginal kids.''
The biggest question being asked about the 2012 Linsly football team is what can this group do for an encore? Certainly, the current players face a huge challenge. However, Depew is hopeful they have learned a great deal from the work ethic and winning attitude left behind by their much-heralded teammates.
''We return a decent number of kids,'' Depew said. ''There are a total of 15 lettermen and most of them lettered due to their special teams contributions. Obviously, a lot of them were key backups now eager to fill the positions vacated by nine offensive starters and 10 starters on the defensive side.
''It's going to be tough putting together a depth chart so early in practice but that also makes it kind of exciting. We expect the kids coming back to really work hard to be good."
The revamped Linsly schedule also will add to the task for a roster that is made of just eight seniors along with 14 juniors, 14 sophomores and 12 freshmen. The Cadets begin the season against a new opponent, Magnolia, on Saturday night as part of the OVAC Kickoff Classic at Wheeling Island Stadium. The following Friday night they go up against a talented W.Va. Class AAA opponent Parkersburg South in a game to be played at Bethany College.
Magnolia and Parkersburg South join Shadyside and Gilmour Academy as the new opponents, replacing Indian Creek, Westinghouse, Buckeye Trail and Brashear.
Wheeling Central was moved from the last date on the schedule to Week 4. Linsly will play three opponents on campus, Columbus Bishop Ready, Western Reserve Academy and Kiski Prep.
Replacing four starters on the interior line and finding a quarterback were the biggest tasks facing the Cadets coaching staff at the outset of fall practice. The lone starter back on the line is an excellent athlete, Reno Colaianni, a 6-foot-1, 215-pound junior two-year letterman.
Jameson Murray (5-9, 145) is the most experienced QB as the junior letterman came in to spell Alex Stephens during several of Linsly's blowout victories.
Murray finds himself being pushed by sophomore Jibri Blount (6-4, 195), another highly regarded performer whose play in the closing minutes of the OVAC 2A basketball finals led the Cadets to a conference crown. Blount also is expected to be a key contributor at linebacker with the defensive unit.
Two freshmen quarterbacks on the roster are Charlie Dodd (5-10, 150) and Jack Hanson (5-7, 110).
Late last season, then-junior Chinelo Oparanozie stepped to the forefront at running back, putting himself in position to be the Cadets' main weapon on the offensive side of the football. In the victory against the Maroon Knights, the 5-8, 180-pound power back Oparanozie rushed for 216 yards and three touchdowns.
''Chinelo split time with Gabe Hill and really blossomed at the end,'' Depew said. ''His two best games were during Weeks 9 and 10 when he was a huge part in both of those victories.''
Others expected to receive their share of opportunities carrying the football are Chinelo's younger brother, Chimechi Oparanozie, a 5-10, 220-pound sophomore letterman; junior Kalib Winters (5-11, 175) and senior letterman Isaac Lee (6-1, 180).
Winters was a Linsly student in middle school before the family moved away. But he returned this year and is hoping to make a major contribution at running back. Lee was Mark Dodd's understudy at fullback.
Three freshmen completing the running back list are Von Wooding (5-10, 155), Jay Mascara (5-6, 125) and Tyler Ashbrook (5-6, 135).
Linsly graduated its top two tight ends in Akil Blount and Thompson, the latter a high school All-American lacrosse performer as a long stick midfielder. Looking to step in at the position are two players who lettered as freshmen, Haydon Gaus (6-0, 175) and Eric Dodd (6-1, 235). Another possibility is senior letterman Kay Ogundiran (6-1, 195) although Depew would prefer to leave him inside at one of the tackle spots. Also at tight end are sophomore Mackenzie Hammond (5-11, 150) and freshman Nick Aprea (5-6, 136).
Two-year letterman Michael Hammond (6-1, 175) has the most experience among the receivers. Brooks Simmons, 6-0, 190 senior newcomer to the football program, also is in the battle for starting jobs with senior Rashad Johnson (5-9, 140) and sophomore letterman Zak Kriechbaum (5-10, 145). Johnson played his sophomore year but sat out last season. Simmons previously played lacrosse for the Cadets.
Senior, two-year letterman Rainer Whiteside (5-9, 140), one of the Ohio Valley's top placekickers, could also be in the receiver mix. Along with kicking extra points and field goals this fall, Whiteside will assume the punting chores handled previously by Alex Stevens.
Rounding out the list of receivers are juniors Benton Nanners (5-8, 135), Daniel Truong (5-11, 160), Chad Mixon (5-6, 125), Hunter Brown (5-10, 125); Luke Miller (5-10, 145) and Zeke Scherich (5-9, 125); sophomores Christian Braughler (6-0, 165), Jacob Caimano (5-9, 140), Maxim Yanovich (6-0, 150), Matthew Moore (5-10, 150) and freshmen Brady Nanners (5-4, 110) and Sam Doe (5-10, 140).
Both the offensive and defensive lines will have size as an asset. Austin Whipkey, a 6-2, 315-pounder who lettered at middle guard on defense, is expected to also see some time at guard or tackle.
Looking to take over at center are senior Zach Hanlin (5-9, 210) and junior Todd Nikoles (6-2, 265). Depending on where Ogundiran plays, junior two-year letterman Dom Ellis (6-1, 190) and Colaianni could be paired at the tackle spots. Also in the picture is sophomore letterman Chuchwudi Chuckwu (6-1, 265). Chuckwu impressed the coaches with his work in the weight room. Another potential guard is junior Jin Cho (6-0, 270). Freshman Khalid Blount (5-10, 240), younger brother of Akil and Jibri, is another good possibility, along with his plebe classmate James Cartwright (5-10, 190).
Some other interior line candidates are junior Chris Afonta (61, 250); sophomores Sam Lybarger (6-1, 240), Will McClure (5-11, 210), Dillon Curtin (5-6,150) and freshmen Connor Trosch (5-9, 160) and Jared Schacter (5-11, 190).
The rebuilt defense has Whipkey, Cho, Chuckwu and Nickoles seeking time at the inside tackle spots. Ogundiran will be one of the ends with Eric Dodd, Gaus, Lee and Chimechi Oparanozie vying on the other side. Colaianni and Michael Hammond are expected to get the nod at the inside linebacker spots. Ellis and Curtin also could see duty at LB as well with Simmons and Chinelo Oparanozie on the outside.
Oher top corner and secondary candidates include Braughler, Winters, Benton Nanners, Kreichbaum and Camaino.
''Defensively, we feel confident that we'll find the right 11 guys,'' Depew insisted. ''They'll need time to gel and learn how to work together as a unit. It would help if can get some early wins but that may be tough for a young, inexperienced group when you look at our schedule. If we get off to a fast start, we can be real good.
''There is no doubt in my mind that by the time we play Kiski in Week 10, we will be a whole lot better than we are heading into Week 1.''
The Linsly coaching staff includes: James Cowart, defensive coordinator; Dave Plumby, offensive coordinator; James Wallace, special teams coordinator; Brian Valentine, offensive and defensive lines and Ray Smith, junior varsity coach. Tom Giovengo is the trainer.
Michael Hammond, Zach Hanlin, Rashad Johnson, Isaac Lee, Kay Ogundiran, Chinelo Oparanozie, Brooks Simmons, Rainer Whiteside.
Chris Afonta, Hunter Brown, Jin Cho, Reno Colaianni, Domenic Ellis, Luke Miller, Chaz Mixon, Jameson Murray, Benton Nanners, Todd Nickoles, Zeke Scherich, Daniel Truong, Austin Whipkey, Kalib Winters.

CARLISLE, Ark. (KTHV) -- Rice farmers in Carlisle say they squared off with a gigantic cottonmouth snake. Now a picture of the serpent is gaining buzz online.
Lee Schafer pulled up a picture of proof that he stood off with a massive cottonmouth. The day started like any other on the family's rice farm.
"We got a slough that's got a bunch of beaver dams in it. We were tearing it out to keep the water out of the beans, and we saw it on the edge of the field there."
Schafer and his farm hand Arnie Rodriguez stared down the poisonous serpent knowing they had a fight on their hands.
"I guess it was so big, it knew it was, and it started coming toward us," said Schafer.
The farmers said they didn't have time to be afraid as instinct kicked in. Rodriguez actually killed the snake with a farm rake, and Schafer said it's a day he'll never forget.
"It was more fat than anything, its head was about as big as my hand," said Schafer.
The farmers said they left the snake in the area where they found it and assume that other animals have now eaten it.
The average length of the Western Cottonmouth is three feet. Arkansas Game and Fish officials could not confirm the snake was a cottonmouth by looking at the picture. Officials remind the public it is illegal to kill snakes unless they are threatening you.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Saving money at the supermarket is not easy, but buying store brands can help.
"Buying store brands can save you a small fortune, anywhere from 15 to 30 percent on average depending on the category," says Tod Marks.
Consumer Reports taste tested 57 store brands from Costco, Sam's Club, Walmart, KMart, Target, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods.
It turns out 33 of the 57 store brands proved as high quality as the national brands, though they're not necessarily identical.
Marks says, "When we evaluate store bran d and say it's as good as a national brand, that doesn't mean it's a dead ringer in terms of flavor. The fact is products can be equally high in quality, but maybe the store brand has different seasoning or spices."
Target's Market Pantry ketchup tasted similar to Heinz.
Mayo from Whole Foods, Target, Costco and Walmart, while different from Hellmann's, was just as good.
And Breyers ice cream fans, listen up!
"Walmart's Great Value Vanilla ice cream came pretty close to Breyers. And not only that it costs a third less."
For nut lovers, store brands are the way to go.
Consumer Reports taste tests of cashews showed all seven of the store brands were actually better than the Emerald brand.
Many stores will refund your money if you don't like their brand, plus you could save plenty.
It's also interesting to note, store brands are not always a bargain.
For instance, five out of 10 store brands from Whole Foods actually cost more than national brand.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Lance Armstrong is stepping down as chairman of his Livestrong cancer-fighting charity to it can focus on its mission instead of its founder's problems.
Armstrong's announcement came minutes before Nike Inc., announced it is terminating its personal contract with him.
Nike said it a statement that Armstrong had "misled" the company for a decade about doping. The company said it would continue to support Armstrong's foundation.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a massive report last week detailing allegations of widespread doping by Armstrong and his teams when he won the Tour de France seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005.
