A relatively slow trade deadline today got a little bit of a kick earlier this morning when Marc Stein of ESPN.com heard rumblings of the C's interest in Kings guard Tyreke Evans.
Latest word out of Boston: Celtics making deadline-day run at player they've pursued before … Tyreke Evans
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) February 21, 2013
Unfortunately, with the C's limited in attractive assets and Evans earning $5 million dollars in an expiring deal which would make salaries tough to match, these trade talks may have ended quickly.
Kings Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins have been given the impression that they would not be dealt, a source said.
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) February 21, 2013
Some even more direct words from Kings beat writer Jason Jones
Just told Tyreke Evans won't be dealt today by person familiar with the situation. Kings leave for ATL in about 90 minutes
— JasonJones (@mr_jasonjones) February 21, 2013
A good thought by Ainge, who has been interested in acquiring Evans in recent years, but not enough to make anything match.

Sunday, June 19: Mar Vista/Culver City
In a city known for its glitz and glam, Mar Vista retains California's old school charm. With large yards, tree-lined streets and the pride and feel of a small-town, Mar Vista is the hidden gem of West Los Angeles.
Over the years, Culver City has become the epicenter for the motion picture industry thanks to MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment Headquarters making the list as the city's claim-to-fame. The not so close, yet not too far location of Culver City attracts families and trendsetters to its condensed, five square mile vicinity.
The five homes selected for Sunday, June 19 are equally as unique as the neighborhoods they dwell in.
Saturday, June 25: Eastside/Hills
Architecturally and culturally significant, LA's Eastside is made up of small, trendy neighborhoods that are home to endless boutique shopping and an ever-growing dining scene that includes beautiful outdoor patios, diverse dining experiences and eclectic bars.
The "Hills" refers to the residential area situated within the Santa Monica Mountains that overlooks the city and is known for its breathtaking views and endless maze of windy streets that provides its exclusive residents with a sense of seclusion and serenity.
Sunday, June 26: Santa Monica/Venice
Besides the ocean allure, sandy beaches, and the calming sound of waves, Santa Monica and Venice Beach attract more than tourists to their impeccable shorelines.The locals include everyone from young families to retirees, wealthy professionals to struggling bohemians, and everyone in between.

Hey, are San Francisco taxicabs somewhat restricted* in Golden Gate Park? Yes, yes they are. But here comes a Chariot:
Does Chariot take people to work in the Financh on Veterans Day? IDK. Does Chariot run charters on big holidays? Perhaps. Or maybe the driver is repositioning or traveling for maintenance. Or maybe there's some other reason it makes sense for this driver to "cut-through" the park.
Anyway, I was surprised to see a Chariot in GGP on a national holiday…
*I think cabbies** aren't supposed to cruise the park for pick-ups, I think that's the rule.
**Cabbies cabbies cabbies – own it, cabbies. This term isn't offensive at all, to most.

Invisible Women
NEW YORK -- How do we know what we think we know about life in Iraq? After the re-election of George W. Bush, the continued fighting there was the top news story of 2004, yet the agenda-driven, visually oriented accounts of the mainstream media had little to say about the everyday existence of the Iraqi people, and told us next to nothing about their feelings and fears. It is as though we were waging a war in a land populated by stick figures -- which may help to explain why it is an artist who has done what so few reporters have even thought to do, and done it with a persuasiveness that fewer still could hope to rival.
Heather Raffo, the Iraqi-American playwright and performer of "Nine Parts of Desire," directed by Joanna Settle and now playing Off Broadway at Manhattan Ensemble Theater, brings us closer to the inner life of Iraq than a thousand slick-surfaced TV reports. Yet her beautifully shaped one-woman play is a play, not a stodgily earnest piece of documentary theater, and therein lies its singular force and compulsion: It is persuasive precisely because it is beautiful.
Fully Believable
Ms. Raffo's enigmatic title is explained in her epigraph, a maxim of Ali ibn Abu Taleb, founder of the Shiite sect and fourth leader of the Islamic world after Muhammad: "God created sexual desire in 10 parts; then he gave nine parts to women and one to men." The nine characters she portrays are based on a large and diverse group of real-life women -- a doctor, a painter who ran the Saddam Art Center, a left-wing political exile living in London, a young girl who loves the music of 'N Sync -- whom she interviewed over the past decade, and she evokes their dissimilar personalities (and appearances) with a precision reminiscent of Jefferson Mays's high-wire acts of multiple impersonation in "I Am My Own Wife." Each one is wholly believable, but not in the straight-from-the-transcript manner of such exercises in theatrical polemics as "Guantánamo." We believe in their reality because Ms. Raffo inhabits each one so fully, both as actor and as author, and because we never feel, not even for a moment, that she is making them tell us what we -- or she -- want to hear.
I know nothing of Ms. Raffo's political views. In any case, they are not her subject matter (though the Iraqi-American in "Nine Parts of Desire" appears to be at least a partial self-portrait). Some of her characters support the war, others oppose it. Most express no settled opinion about it. For them, violence has always been an inescapable part of their lives -- especially their lives as women in an inconceivably repressive culture -- and it is simply not possible for them to envision a world without it. Time and again they utter phrases that illuminate the blasted landscape of their native land like flashes of lightning. No critic, however eloquent, can do better than to quote a few of them:
- "I did a painting once of the young woman who was eaten by Saddam's son."
- "My husband, he sits at home without his legs. He can't make money sitting at home -- what's left of the man -- I can't even look at him now -- he's my death sentence!"
- "Why don't we count the number of Iraqi dead?"
- "The mistake is not this war. The mistake was supporting Saddam all his life."
- "Now they steal women for money or to sell them. I try to tell momma she won't get stolen. Her hair is not that nice."
- "I think only mens have real peace. Womans cannot have peace. What you think?"
Already extended three times by popular demand, "Nine Parts of Desire" is now playing on an open-ended basis. See it soon. See it tonight.

We don't get much Noël Coward in Manhattan, so it's a pleasure to point you to the Irish Repertory Theatre's vest-pocket Off Broadway production of "After the Ball," one of the Master's least well-known musicals. Originally produced in London in 1954, this is, amazingly enough, its American premiere, and the Irish Rep, despite the cruel limitations of its L-shaped house and miniature stage, has made the most of the tools at hand, turning a lavish operetta into an intimate entertainment that gives much satisfaction.
"After the Ball" is a musical version of Oscar Wilde's "Lady Windermere's Fan," an epigram-encrusted melodrama about a Woman with a Secret (it's the play in which Wilde famously defined a cynic as "a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing"). Coward kept the epigrams and added a batch of songs, mostly sentimental ballads à la "Bitter Sweet" rather than the crisply pointed comic numbers for which he is best remembered as a songwriter. Not all of them come from his top drawer, but more than enough are good enough, and one, the droll "Something on a Tray," is (or ought to be) a Coward standard.
Splendidly Seductive
Tony Walton, the director and designer, is best known on Broadway in the latter capacity, but he definitely knows how to put a show on stage, and his uncomplicated design for "After the Ball" -- a scrim, a few red draperies, a bit of furniture and a piano -- is no less effective. Barry Day has slimmed down the original book and turned the Duchess of Berwick (played with ripe gusto by Kathleen Widdoes) into a narrator who helps keep the audience in the picture. The score is undersung, but the acting is generally good, and Mary Illes is a splendidly seductive Mrs. Erlynne, dressed in red and more than able to live up to it.
"After the Ball" runs through Jan. 30. Like "Lady Windermere's Fan," it's a period piece, not a masterpiece, but man cannot live by main courses alone -- he also needs an occasional dessert in order to stay happy and healthy. If you've been longing to vary your theatrical diet with an adorable little meringue, look no further.

A great little find in the small town (650) of Soldier's Grove. While visiting this area for my wife's high school reunion, we came upon this city park/campground. Side by side hook ups. 30 amp with water. Dump station available. No public restrooms, so self contained is what works here. Being a city park, it also has tennis courts, a small skateboard park (no one used it while we were here), a playground, basketball court and volleyball court. Pull through sites big enough for the largest of rigs. Sites are all grass. Some sites back up to Kickapoo River. Plenty of width between units. You pay your nightly fee at the local pharmacy, gas station or city hall when open. Sites are not numbered. AT&T cell service, Verizon air card were fine and being fairly open, no problem with satellite TV. There were 6 other rigs here during our stay. If you have a reason to be in this part of Wisconsin, I can recommend this park. No phone number or reservations that I could find. It is also called Veterans Memorial Park on some signs. Located in the center of 'town'. Just GPS town center and you'll find it. - Brujomar

|Ndigbo's First Eleven
| By Jossy Nkwocha - Newswatch Magazine - Posted to the web: 3/11/2001 5:07:03 PM
Who's Who in the politics of Igboland to watch out for if the next presidential
slot is zoned to the south-east
When Obasanjo defeated him at the Jos convention of PDP, he took it in good
faith and asked his supporters to vote for Obasanjo. In fact, he was said to
have lost the election because he was branded a hater of the military and the
powers- that-be didn't want him to succeed the then head of state, General Abdulsalami
Abubakar. But he is well accepted in the North where he has many political associates.
He was chairman of the G.34 group which insisted that the late Gen. Sani Abacha
must not succeed himself as a civilian president in 1998. He is chairman of
the board of trustees of the ruling PDP. Most of the persons who spoke to Newswatch
said Ekwueme is the "natural" Igbo candidate for the presidency.
The only minus for Ekwueme is his age. He will be 71 years old in 2003. Besides,
there is a new consciousness spearheaded by the under-50 governors' summit for
a younger politician to become president.
Governor Orji Uzor Kalu of Abia State is emerging as the arrowhead of the
campaign for an Igboman to become president of Nigeria. The fearless, 40-yearold
governor started the campaign late last year by pointing out at the continued
marginalisation of the Igbo by Obasanjo. He insisted that Obasanjo should not
dream of 2003 re-election, arguing that it is the turn of the Igbo to produce
the president. His thesis caught on. Ohaneze Ndigbo promptly convened a summit
and endorsed the idea. The eastern governors conference also issued a communiqué
supporting the idea.
Now, despite the fact that Kalu has said he is running for re-election in
Abia State, majority of Igbo especially students, traders, younger politicians,
civil servants, etc, believe he is the best man for the job. Besides, he is
also in the good books of General Ibrahim Babangida who played a key role in
Obasanjo's election in 1999. Kalu is also very close to Shagari, Umaru Dikko,
Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Jubril Aminu and other northern power-brokers.
In fact, he usually boasts of "my people in the north."
Kalu is a billionaire and can afford to fund a presidential campaign. Eventhough
he is young, he operates in high political and business circles. He is very
outspoken, articulate and ambitious.
Iwuanyanwu who is now 59 years old is a consummate politician. During the
Babangida transition period, he took part in the staggered presidential primaries
in the National Republican Convention, NRC. Babangida cancelled the exercise.
He remained a presidential hopeful under the Abacha era until the late dictator
commenced his self-succession bid and checkmated all opposition to his ambition.
After the death of Abacha, he became a presidential aspirant under the All Peoples'
Party. APP. He lost nomination at the party's convention in Kaduna.
Today, Iwuanyanwu is in the league of such political heavyweights as Umaru
Shinkafi, Adamu Ciroma, Bamanga Tukur, Olusola Saraki, Lateef Jakande, Olu Falae,
Iwuanyanwu maintains some self pride and dignity. He has always turned down
ministerial appointments, preferring to nominate his associates. At the last
cabinet reshuffle, he declined to join the Obasanjo administration as a minister.
Apart from Ekwueme, Iwuanyanwu is perhaps the next highly favoured south-east
presidential candidate in the ranking of politicians, professionals, businessmen
and the youths.
Iwuanyanwu's problems may come from the home-front. He seems to have some
problems in his home state, Imo. He does not have a good relationship with Evan
Enwerem, former senate president who may plot against his ambition. Some people
also doubt his political weight. He was an APP stalwart when the party lost
the gubernatorial seat in Imo State. He later moved over to the PDP. His critics
also say he is in politics for business and not for power. His construction
company, Hardel & Enic is said to be among the companies accused of not
effectively executing road projects in the East.
Despite all these, Iwuanyanwu who holds the title of Aha-eji-agamba- (the
name which can take you to places) of Igboland is a man of immense political
goodwill in the country.
The Enugu-State born politician is very popular among youths. Nwobodo also
has some heavyweight political associates in the North such as Abubakar Rimi,
former governor of Kano State, Solomon Lar, former PDP chairman, etc.
But Nwobodo is always in one controversy or the other. At the sports ministry,
he was always at loggerheads with footballers, athletes, coaches, ministry officials,
etc. Early last year, he engaged in a fierce battle with Chimaroke Nnamani,
the Enugu State governor who accused him of incessant interference in his (Nnamani's)
Analysts believe that Nwobodo's main problem would come from the role he played
at the Jos convention where he was accused of playing a spoiler's game against
Ekwueme. Many Igbo and indeed many of Ekwueme supporters across the country
are not in a hurry to forgive him for that "dirty job." At the last
Igbo summit organised by Ohaneze Ndigbo, Nwobodo received no cheers from the
crowd. But he is not one that succumbs to pressure. He thrives in controversy
and political battle. He is 61 years old.
But some of his critics say he is too much of a gentleman and cannot safely
swim in the murky waters of Nigerian politics. Besides, he spent about 38 years
in diplomatic service outside Nigeria and may not have known Nigeria well.
For now, Anyaoku does not command much political following. But he has been
trying to build one since he returned to the country last year. The launching
of his autobiography last year in Lagos was made a political event. On February
20, 2001 his committee of friends also pulled together some big shots in politics,
business, government and the diplomatic community to raise funds for the "Emeka
Anyaoku professorial chair in Commonwealth studies" at the University of
London. The event which was held at the Nigerian Institute of International
Affairs was chaired by S. L. Edu, a prominent Yoruba politician and father of
Yomi Edu, Obasanjo's special duties minister. He is being packaged by people
outside Igboland.
But many Igbo would rather not support Anyaoku. To them, he does not know
the Igbo agenda. He does not believe much in the marginalisation of Igbo in
the scheme of things. Besides, he will be 70 years old in 2003 for the presidency.
He is a politician, a stalwart of the APP. He works closely with such political
juggernauts as Olusola Saraki, the kingpin of Kwara politics. Many Igbo, especially
the youths see him as the only man who would use the presidency to redress the
perceived marginalisation of the south-east. At the 1995 constitutional conference,
he worked closely with Ekwueme to articulate and sell an Igbo position to other
delegates from other parts of the country.
Analysts however contend that Ojukwu's main problem is the fact that he led
the secessionist Biafra which culminated in a 30-month civil war. Today, he
is feared by many politicians who believe that he may re-enact his dream of
Biafra if he gets into power. Even in Igboland, he is seen by many elders as
arrogant, domineering and vainglorious. He boycotted the last Igbo summit in
Enugu and described the Igbo leaders who attended it as job-seekers. His critics
say he plays to the gallery.
In an exclusive interview with Newswatch published February 12, Ojukwu stated
that he would no longer go for an elective office in Nigeria. But Newswatch
learnt last week, the Ikemba-Nnewi may change his mind as a result of the clamour
for Igbo presidency in 2003. But like Anyaoku, he will be 70 years old then.
Nzeribe is more well-known for his activities in the Association for Better
Nigeria, ABN, which many analysts insist was used to scuttle June 12, 1993 presidential
election won by MKO Abiola. ABN campaigned vigorously for Babangida to stay
longer in office. Nzeribe also predicted there would be anarchy if Abacha was
not allowed to become civilian president. Many Yoruba have not forgiven Nzeribe
for the role he played in the June 12 saga. Nzeribe does not have much political
support in the North either.
Those who know him closely say Nzeribe would always spring surprises because
many people underrate him. They say he knows how to build political organisations
and how to sustain political loyalty. During the Babangida transition programme,
he was a presidential aspirant and participated in the cancelled SDP primaries.
During that period, he built a formidable political machinery in all the eastern
states including the then Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Imo, Abia, Anambra and Cross River,
called CARIA States.
Born on November 2, 1938, Nzeribe will be 65 in 2003.
Onu has somehow gone underground since then. But Newswatch learnt he is busy
going round the country and building bridges of understanding and goodwill for
the 2003 race.
Many Igbo have come to hate him as a result of the 1999 APP saga. But many
close observers told Newswatch last week that whenever the presidency is declared
open for the south-east, Onu may give his critics the shock of their lives.

It's hard to believe, but not everyone knows from childhood what they want to be when they grow up. And though your ambitions might start out as pro wrestler, ballerina or some kind of sex astronaut (let us have our dreams), you'll probably wind up working at a kiosk at the mall like the rest of us.
Several people who found fame later in life started out on a much different path. And if you're not still working at the first job you ever got, thank your lucky stars that you're in the same boat. Unless you operated a boat as your first job. Then, well, yeah. Sorry.
7Chevy Chase Was Almost in Steely Dan
What He's Known For:
Believe it or not, there was a time when Chevy Chase was the biggest thing in comedy. That time was the 80s, and it featured a much funnier and much sexier Chase in his prime.
Men laughed, women slipped off their chairs.
The man had it all going for him: his three Vacation movies were instant classics; Fletch was the best comedy to ever become a historical artifact within a decade; he was skinny dipping with the likes of Cindy Morgan and Christie Brinkley. Hell, the man was even considered to play Han Solo.
Naturally, all good things come to end. And they did in a very big way for Chase when, in 1993, he was allowed to have a talk show so bad that society has purged it--in an order approaching Star Wars Holiday Special--from its collective consciousness.
What He Should Be Known For:
The 70s were a decade of change. And pantsuits. Mostly pantsuits.
The sexiest man alive, 1973
Vietnam was raging and months before the TET Offensive, Chase was faced with two choices: go to medical school or enter the draft. Naturally, Chase took the unmentioned third option: don't go to medical school, inform the Army of your "false... homosexual tendencies" and avoid Vietnam altogether. When choice C worked out, Chase stuck around and played drums for a band called The Leather Canary, with friends Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. You may recognize those two as the founding members of multiple-Grammy-Award-Winning Steely Dan.
Chase eventually left the group, calling them "a bad jazz band." Not long afterward, Becker and Fagen changed their name and hit the jackpot. We're not implying that Chase's departure had anything to do with their newfound fame, but then again, Chase is set to play fifth fiddle in a Not Another... flick.

This is quite coincidental!! I just opened a thread here on Head-fi asking why the AKG K702 require more power than the Sennheiser HD650 when the impedance and the sensitivity are lower in the K702. This SPL meter would be a great tool in understanding db sensitivity. Here is the thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/561890/does-a-higher-impedance-value-always-mean-lower-volume#post_7595913
If I'm worthy of this SPL Phonitor, I shall review it here on Head-fi and on Youtube.

Thank You, SPL, for such an excellent opportunity .
Phonitor has very good specifications.
A frequency response is really interesting. It's up to >200 kHz ( -3 dB) while it goes down as well <10 Hz ( -3 dB). Dynamic range is 129.5dB
It will be interesting to see the performance on DVD-A material.
THD is 5x-10x smaller than any headphones have . It means that there won't be a bottleneck with any audiophile's class headphones. Let's see.
But the most important than anything else that it can emulates the loud speakers.
It's particularly interesting for me the controls like speaker angle and crossfeed. It can make a big difference for material with a rich stereo content.

Nice promotion guys, really awesome!
I've been drooling over this amp for a good while. It looks very intriguing.
Question; I dont have facebook, nor do i have twitter. A close friend of mine who has no flavor of audiophilia does have facebook. Can i tell her to shout for me with my nickname on the end?
Oh and i'd say exclude the yanks! Most giveaways i've seen from the usa are only for US folk. This is THE time for payback!
Ofcourse this has nothing to do with increasing chances for us euro's, not at all :)

I would love to share the sounds of SPL hardware in my region beyond the shop that sells it. I'd love to compare it to some other amps, and see how a dynamic rig using it compares to stax.
Thank you for the great offer

Correct me if I'm wrong, because it sounds like you're more likely to choose experienced head-fier's who will actually give some extensive feedback upon winning.

I'm a semi-retired accountant. My mother taught me to sew and knit as a child, and I've been at it ever since. Got hooked on quilting in the 70s, and that's been my main creative outlet ever since. But since my quilting is the machine variety, I still need hand-work & portable projects, and knitting fills that need quite well.

warnverb [I or T]uk /wɔːn/ us /wɔːrn/
B1 to make someone realize a possible danger or problem, especially one in the future: [+ obj + to infinitive ] We were warned not to eat the fish which might upset our stomachs. [+ obj + (that) ] Have you warned them (that) there will be an extra person for dinner? I was warned against/off going to the east coast because it was so full of tourists. The boating area is marked with buoys to warn off swimmers. There were signs warning of fog as soon as we got onto the motorway. This particular curry is extremely hot - be warned! Put that ball down now, Laura - I'm warning you (= I will punish you if you do not)!

Muscle Car Restoration - Readers PagesWritten on January 21, 2007
This Guy Sent In The Olds
Who: Dave Luce
What: '83 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Where: Dillsburg, PA
Why: Car Craft requested Oldsmobiles, and his is powered by a 0.030-over 403. The Cutlass is in the 12-teens at 110 mph using Edelbrock heads, a killer hydraulic roller cam with 286/292 degrees of duration and 0.538 lift, a 750 Holley double-pumper, and a TH350 with a 2,500-rpm stall converter. He claims it is street legal even with the 4.10s and the Amazon Green paint.
Wrong Year, But Right
Who: Bret Treece
What: '74 Chevrolet Nova
Where: San Jose, CA
Why: The only thing we can see wrong about the '73 and '74 Nova is the bumper. The solution is to take it off and add some sick wheels. The 383-inch small-block with a tasty roller cam, AFR heads, and a 700-R4 overdriver also help the cause. Mazda 2003 Spicy Orange paint is next.We Say: Now these are going to be expensive, too.
Send Stuff To Car Craft:
e-mail: email@example.com
online: CarCraft.com
mail: 6420 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048
fax: 323/782-2223
special courier: hurry before they close the border tunnels
Tennessee Black Plates
Who: Doug Nash
What: '65 Ford Falcon
Where: Rutledge, TN
Why: This guy has saved a '78 Fairmont, a '70 Maverick, and this Falcon from the grave. The Falcon was purchased for $600 in what Doug called terrible condition. He rebuilt the engine, sanded, painted, and installed the custom-black pleated interior himself. The car is used for cruising instead of racing. Dig the vintage Cragars.
Action! Photos
Who: Andy Husted
What: '72 Chevrolet Chevelle
Where: Wellsburg, NY
Why: Built on a budget, this car ran 13s with a small-block, mild cam, converter, and 4.10 gear before it was gutted and turned into a race car.He Says: Was it perfect? No. Was it fun? Hell, yes!
Dude, Nice Roof Rack
Who: Matt Allen
What: Big Chevrolet Impala wagon
Where: Robias, IA
Why: Under that cowl is a blown small-block for 10.90s through the mufflers.
He Says: This is me having fun in my first car.
Send Burnouts!
Hey! You! Put the magazine down and go do a burnout (at an approved venue in a safe manner) getting sideways and on fire (with approved fire-suppression gear in an approved manner in an appropriate venue) then send the photos to Car Craft Burnout! 6420 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90048 or fast mail at email@example.com with a photo that is at least 5 by 5 inches at 300-dpi resolution.
Yo Car Craft!
Who: Mark Vironda
What: '68 Dodge Dart
Where: Waterloo, IL
Why: Sure it's a six-cylinder base model, but that's what Glad started with. Mark is 15, so he is waiting to do the burnout shot for us. He is also considering the 360/727 swap.
The History of the Mystery Motor
Your article on Tom McIntyre's Mystery motor (Horsepower, Nov. '06) brought fond memories. I was at Smokey's auction in 1989 when he bought this motor. A couple of points on this and the Mystery motor in general (I was a historian for the Tonawanda Engine plant back then).
1) The engine in question was bought complete for $30,000 (or so we were told). It was the last complete Mystery motor Smokey had.
2) That Corvette was more than just a Z06 owned by Mickey Thompson. In 1963, as part of Speed Week, Mickey Thompson raced the Corvette powered by a Mystery engine in a Modified class. This restoration, we were told in 1989, was the reason for the purchase of the engine. This Corvette could be one of the rarest ex-racing Corvettes out there!
3) The exhaust manifolds. Rare? You'd better believe it. GM paid $3,000 for a set to put on its Mystery display engine. I originally restored this engine for a Tonawanda display. Back then, the NASCAR engines had to run the factory exhaust manifolds. The design of the manifolds used on factory performance engines was advanced mainly because of this rule. The Mystery motors' exhaust manifolds were the most highly developed manifolds ever put on NASCAR engines.
4) The Mystery motor and the Z-11 motor were identical with the exception of the 90-degree head-bank angle. The short-blocks were the same; they used the same crank (3.650), same rods, same two-bolt mains, same oil pans, same timing covers, and same fuel pumps. I know, I had one of each apart on a workbench. And they both had the same bore/stroke, 4.310x3.650.
5) Put a Mystery motor intake next to a Mark IV intake and the only difference is one is slightly smaller than the other. Think of the Mystery motor as a 71/48-scale model of the Mark IV.
6) The cowl-induction air cleaner wasn't "relatively" new, it had never been seen before on a NASCAR (or NHRA in the case of the Z-11). Again, the cowl intake was a Chevrolet first.
7) In the genealogy of the Chevrolet big-block was the Mark I, which was the Z-11 heads with a two-piece intake put on the W block engine, the Mark II, which was the Mystery motor, the Mark III existed on paper only and was to come from GM's purchase of the old Packard big-block, then the Mark IV, and so on. -Fran Preve, GM Powertrain Tonawanda Engine Plant, retired.
Reader's Letter
Your editorial about driving old cars struck home with us ("Spending the Good Money," Dec. '05). Although, our car is worth a bit more than the CC/Rambler or Ford truck. We drive the wheels off our '62 Corvette. In addition to daily driving, annual trips are made that are several thousand miles long. To make these trips possible, many changes have been necessary. No more 12:1 compression motors, 4.11 gears, and wild cams, but 350s with 3.36 gears, A/C, and cruise control. We know the purists get upset, but while their rides are sitting in the garage with their tops up so they won't get wrinkled, we are out on the road. The thumbs-up we get are worth more than the loss of monetary value, and we associate each stone chip with the pure enjoyment of the trip. Yes, the top leaks in the heavy rain, yes, the A/C barely keeps up at 75 mph, and yes, we need overdrive. The car is never finished anyway, so why not just do it, whatever you are tooling around in? -Bill and Sally Bethea, Fort Meyers, FL

Contract Management
Contract management can seem like a foggy concept with little tangible, direct value. The reality is quite the opposite. Contract management improves the financial performance of any business that implements an effective system.
What is Contract Management?
Contract management is a business practice that improves the process of negotiating, drafting, executing, analyzing, and tracking legal agreements and contracts between organizations or businesses.
Contract management is traditionally part of procurement or purchasing. Contract management is widely used in government contracts, construction, real estate, manufacturing, and distribution. Contract management is growing in many other industries with the increasing importance of risk management and compliance.
Contract Management Trends
Trends in contract management are constantly evolving. New international, national, and regional court cases provide new interpretations and create constant challenges for legal professionals and contract managers.
Within government contracts, regulatory changes impose obligations and procedures above and beyond contracts themselves. It is critical that contract managers monitor federal and state laws regarding government contracts.
Finally, contract management is quickly becoming part of compliance and risk management. As contracts become more complex and connected to regulations and industry practices, they create liabilities that exceed the scope of the original contract. It is important to measure and manage the legal risk associated with legal risk.
How to Manage Contracts
Contract management requires five actions:
- Keep all contracts in one central repository
- Track required data about each contract
- Categorize contracts consistently based on type
- Set automatic alerts about important dates and events
- Generate and distribute insightful reports about contract risk
Effective contract managers typically use contract management software to make the job easier. It is important to know that many people see contract management as a "workflow" or administrative problem. However, contract management requires analysis and tracking, which are distinct from workflow.
Contract Management Professionals
Over 500,000 professionals in the United States1 alone work in fields related to contract management and procurement.
Contract management as a profession is rapidly evolving to include lawyers, corporate paralegals, compliance officers, and finance professionals. Contract managers go by many names: contract administrator, contract agent, contracting supervisor, among others.
Contracts are no longer filed and forgotten.

Managing Linux User Accounts
The steps for setting up new accounts in Linux are automated and often use GUI-based tools. Under the hood, a number of mechanisms give the new user an environment to match his or her needs. In this month's Admin Workshop we discuss techniques for setting up accounts.
With a modern Linux distribution, you just need a few clicks to create a new user account. Figure 1 shows you an example from Suse. GUI-based front-ends of this kind rely on command line programs such as adduser or useradd to do the heavy lifting. It is extremely important for administrators to know exactly what goes on when they create a user account. Automated features can be tailored to meet the requirements in your environment. When you create an account, a number of databases need the new user's details. Users will typically need a home directory and write privileges to match. Administrators don't just throw their users in at the deep end when it comes to program settings; instead, many settings are pre-configured. Of course, it is impossible to take every setting into account when creating new users, especially if the user will not be logging in until some time in the distant future.

All Ages
Keith and Kristyn Getty have been writing hymns for more than a decade, bridging the gap between traditional and contemporary, and creating what is described as singable theology. Their songs, many co-written with Stuart Townend, have pioneered a new generation of modern hymns.
The renowned Getty/Townend hymn, "In Christ Alone," has remained the most popular song for congregations throughout the UK for six years, among CCLI's top ten in North America, and has been honored by both the British Hymn Society and BBC Songs of Praise all time lists. Their hymns are sung in small churches, large cathedrals and concert halls around the world, performed by choirs of every description, and have also been recorded by artists throughout the world of music, from country artists Alison Krauss and Ricky Skaggs, Irish musicians Moya Brenan and Anuna, CCM artists Natalie Grant, Newsboys and Tim Hughes, to Aida's Heather Headley, and a recent online recording by Owl City.
Under the Getty Music label, Keith and Kristyn have recorded two Dove-nominated albums: "In Christ Alone" (2007) and "Awaken the Dawn" (2009). "Joy-An Irish Christmas" (2011), dedicated to their daughter, Eliza Joy, is a collaboration with luminaries from the world of Irish music. Its broad appeal led to a number one radio single, television appearances and specials, and an annual Christmas concert tour in the USA. Additionally, Getty Music has initiated a number of choral works based on each of these projects.
In addition to their hymn tours and Christmas tours, they have shared their music at the United States Pentagon, the GMA Dove Awards, Franklin Graham crusades, for President George W. Bush, at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, and in the Royal Albert Hall in London. They have spoken at universities from Harvard to Wheaton and remain involved in conferences including the Lausanne Congress and The Gospel Coalition.
Keith's and Kristyn's newest recordings comprise an album entitled "Hymns for the Christian Life" (October 2012). The project will feature new sounds, musicians and writers they have come to know since moving to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2010. Their concert tour based on this new project began with sold-out concert hall appearances in June 2012 on the "Northern Celtic Tour" in the United Kingdom and will continue on with a tour in the USA. The tour will culminate with a "Southern Celtic Tour" that has been planned for autumn 2013.
Keith and Kristyn divide their time between Northern Ireland and their home in Nashville where they write, tour and oversee the work of Getty Music.

Before the general election the former government promised to 'fundamentally change our system of care' by launching a National Care Service. With a new coalition government in power, which way now for a social care system in financial crisis?
The fierce debate over the future of adult social care has generated hundreds of headlines in 2010. Unfortunately for the learning disability community, it has also delivered few answers.
In March, the former government proposed "the biggest change to the welfare state since the creation of the NHS": the launch of a National Care Service in England. 'Building the National Care Service', the long-awaited social care white paper, promised to end the 'cruel care lottery' and provide free care and support to all eligible adults who need it – in return for a compulsory financial contribution.
With a new coalition government now in power, it is not yet clear how closely Labour's 'route map' to social care reform will be followed. The new government has so far promised to establish a commission to advise on funding but has not fully detailed what the commission must decide on.
The former government's three-stage plan to roll out universal care by 2016 (see more details on the next page) marked the conclusion of the largest ever consultation on care and support, following on from the 2009 green paper 'Shaping the Future of Care Together'. (Mencap's consultation received over 1,200 responses alone.) However, after many months of discussion, the learning disability community remains far from satisfied.
In 2009, learning disability charities expressed concerns that the green paper did not address the extra funding needed for services for people with a learning disability. It appears little has changed. "The white paper sets out some positive principles, but the actual needs of people with a learning disability are even more absent than in the green paper," says Anthea Cox, director of the Learning Disability Coalition.
"We welcome much that is in the white paper – particularly the commitment to end the postcode lottery of care," says David Congdon, Mencap's head of campaigns and policy. "However, it is clear that the political imperative has been older people, not disabled people."
This view is shared by Cath Baker, policy and development officer for learning disabilities at The Princess Royal Trust for Carers. She argues that while the broad response to the white paper from UK care organisations was very positive, what is missing is "an acknowledgement of the life-long care pathway of people with a learning disability and their carers."
"This can be very different from care for older people," she says, "as it often means a longer and deeper involvement with the person. It is crucial to get people with a learning disability and their carers properly recognised – because the worry is that there might not be anything else for them after 'Valuing People Now' [the strategy for learning disability services for 2009-12] comes to an end."
Funding conundrum
In the introduction to 'Building the National Care Service', Gordon Brown stated its core purpose: free care for all those who need it, when they need it, wherever they live. The service promises to provide people with 'the choice and control they demand', and to 'realise a vision of personalised care.'
The problem is how this 'vision' will be delivered and paid for. "The precise details remain unclear," said Su Sayer, chief executive of United Response. "The white paper promises that a cross-party commission will work out the details in the next parliament. However, we know that the funding of social care is facing serious difficulties."
The election manifestos of all three main parties failed to answer the funding conundrum in any real detail. The Liberal Democrats backed Labour's idea of a cross-party commission to look at funding. And the Conservatives, who labelled Labour's option of a compulsory insurance scheme a 'death tax', gave no further detail on their plan to ask people for an £8,000 voluntary contribution when they retire.
Dear Members of my Support Team
Just to let you know that my health, which has plagued me all year, has finally got the better of me, to the point where I have had a long discussion with my family over this weekend, and have decided unfortunately, that I'm going to have to give up my job. I have enjoyed this very much. It's been nice to think I've been able to help others through similar situations that we've struggled through in the past. Maybe one day I can do so again.
The stress associated with having a disabled family member for 25 years is one aspect. It is enormously intensified when looking for a safe haven for them to leave home and go and live in. I had one counselling session when visiting a Camphill's Community re a possible placement for my daughter. A lovely lady there, said it was an hugely painful decision to reach, to realise that disabled living applied at all, in any context, on top of the natural feelings anyone has when their children leave home, and that leaving a child in any Camphill placement was often a source of intense grief and sadness.
We are still trawling through that process. During the summer I grieved a lot for all of my daughter's circumstances - of seeing her watching her sister and friends blossom into university, work and into relationships - always watching from the sidelines herself, regularly being sick, frequently being bullied by peers and even tutors in college, and yet lastly, amassing all her courage and saying "I want to leave home too".
I never grieved more this summer than when she was away on her 10 day trial. Yes, I missed all her sweetness and bravery. But when she flourished there, I rejoiced. For the first time in 25 years I felt I had 2 whole children. I was so overwhelmed I even phoned my best friend in Canada, on my mobile from the Harlequin Centre in Watford to say it had gone well!!!
Whilst we narrow down the choices, I should be feeling much better, knowing she proved she could survive and even be happy in a safe environment. Instead of enjoying what should be reaching a final chapter, my stress has snowballed into previously unknown and unexperienced regions, fed by the horrible situation whereby I now ask myself, at whichever point her application to leave home is ever presented to panel - will we be told there is no longer funding for her anywhere after all?
This uncertainty has tipped the balance, after having pneumonia quite severely earier this year. I have flu like symptoms all the time, an exhausting cough, insomnia, no energy, a whiter than white, shiny face and intermittent fevers. Am hoping like anything that I get round the places we still have to visit, in one piece.
I won't be able to tell her there are no options and I pray to God this isn't going to happen. Applying spending cuts to disability is unbelievable. One does wonder where discrimination on the grounds of disability begin to apply, or human rights become issues, for our own MPs or even MEPs. It isn't humane to have to worry about this on top of the worries that surround finding a safe place for them. Looking after the disabled is what sets the human race apart from the animals.
When presenting pleas for help for the disabled, please do remember the 4 key elements: rights, independence, choice, and inclusion, of the Government White Paper on Valuing People - A New Strategy for Learning Disability for the 21st Century, Presented to Parliament by the Secretary of State for Health by Command of Her Majesty March 2001 - CM 5086.
This is still Law. It hasn't been repealed and cutting support for the disabled can't heal them. Would that it could!
Why are the government picking on us? to get my entitlenent i had to have x-rays and medicals, ive been on medication since 1992 and nee corrective joint surgery.
Now im worrying myself sick about the governments proposals to potentially pull the rug from under me by a doctor who knows nothing about me or my life.
I have been so down about the whole thing that i really feel like a big grey cloud is waiting to smother me.
Its bad enough the rigmorole you have to go through to fill in the pages and pages of forms, now this!
I feel like my life belongs to David Cameron and his silver spoon cronies.

Minus 2.6 lbs! WOOT WOOT. You know, when I started this journey and saw my numbers at my weekly WW weigh-ins, I NEVER saw numbers like this (well, besides the first water-weight-loss of 7 lbs). It's still a pleasant surprise when it happens!
What did I do to help this weight loss along? Walked/Ran a 5K for starters! I did eat a lot more this past week, though, so I was dreading stepping on the scale. I even had a little mini breakdown because we had all this yummy non-WWF food in the house and I just kept eating it. I put the girlfriend through a bit of a whirlwind, but she loves me, so she stuck by me! I was just craving carbs…. Probably from all the exercise I was getting in! I've definitely been more active this Spring than I have in the past! Softball, walks, time just spent outside (on our rockin' patio!), picnics at the park – it's just been so lovely!
This last weekend was just amazing, weather-wise. We spent an afternoon at the park on Sunday. The girlfriend was taking photos for a family (because she has an awesome business called "Beautiful Orange Productions") and she suggested I come over to the park with Maxwell after she was done shooting. So, I was about to drive over and she called to say she's picking up Sandwiches from one of our favorite local cafes because we're going to have a picnic! I ran back in the house to get our nifty picnic blanket and then drove on over. I walked Maxwell around the beautiful park while we waited for her to get back with the sandwiches and then we met on a nice sunny patch of grass. Sandwiches were eaten, sun was bathed in and snuggles were had with Maxwell. And THEN, we packed everything up, drove one car home, dropped off Maxwell, and walked all the way back to the park (2 miles) to pick up the other car! It worked out perfectly. It was a wonderful day. (And I haven't even told you about the vanilla amber bath salts, the softball game or the grilled BBQ turkey burgers! Er… heh.)
But there's more to this post than cute doggy photos and a recap of a wonderful Sunday. I actually planned out another menu for the week! I looked through a cookbook that I've had for a while, but haven't used much. It's all about CHICKEN. I lurve chicken. I'm also one of those weird people that actually likes working with raw chicken. I'm a texture nut. Anyway, before I gross you out with my love of weird textures, here's the menu!
Monday: Chicken and Bell Pepper Fajitas, Salad
Tuesday: Chicken and Couscous Soup, Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Wednesday: WILDCARD
Thursday: Lightened Green Chicken Curry
Friday: Soyaki Pork Roast, Roasted Vegetables
Saturday: "Fried" Perch and Flounder Fillets, Green Beans
Sunday: Garlicky Chicken Stew
Does this not sound like a tasty week? I'm quite excited to try out some new recipes, especially the curry! I've made curry so many times, even posted my original curry recipe, but I found some AWESOME Silk Coconut Milk that is insanely delicious! It's only 2 PP per cup, and the flavor is exactly what I'd want as a base for a curry. You can definitely look forward to some tasty recipes in the coming weeks. HUZZAH!

WHIDBEY ISLAND, Wash. (AP) — The Washington state Health Department has temporarily closed Whidbey Island's Penn Cove to all shellfish harvesting due to a diesel spill from a sunken fishing boat.
The Coast Guard said Tuesday that divers have plugged a vent on the boat that was leaking two gallons of fuel per minute. The agency says 2,100 gallons of diesel have been recovered.
Skimmers and absorbent booms have been deployed by a clean-up contractor.
The Health Department notes that Penn Cove Shellfish voluntarily stopped harvesting on Sunday before any diesel reached its shellfish. Since then, department spokeswoman Kate Lynch says a much larger volume of diesel has spilled, producing a sheen over the commercial operation.
All commercial and recreational shellfish harvesting in the cove has been closed. The Health Department will test shellfish to confirm they're safe before reopening the area.
The 128-foot derelict fishing boat caught fire Saturday and sank Sunday.

I converted a 10 speed to a fixed gear awhile ago, and am thinking about going down to Brain Piccolo in a couple of weeks. Would it be smart, or even allowed for a complete track newbie like me to ride a conversion on the track? Should I just rent a track bike there?
Thanks for any advice .

The flowers looks like a butterfly with two different shades of blue. Use blue butterfly bush as a small stand alone specimen or in a mixed border. Prune back this gangly shrub as needed to keep it in check. Clerodendrums flower on the current season's growth, so you can prune them anytime. Cut back the old wood to a pair of buds to improve flowering. In areas that get frost, you can get the most consistent flowering year in and year out by growing blue butterfly bush in a large pot that can be brought indoors when temperatures approach freezing.

text: There are people who have lots of enthusiasm for their movie favorite franchises, and then there are the people whose passion goes far beyond the realm of "enthusiastic." In honor of these fanboys (and fangirls), Reelz presents "It's All Geek to Me," which features, among other things, some Avengers body paint cosplay. Additionally, this half-hour special features ANTM alum Adrianne Curry as she gets an insider's look at the Philadelphia Zombie Run and later follows her to the "Con Ichiwa" Comic and Anime Convention in Tucson, AZ. Of course no conversation about fanboys would be complete without talking to some Trekkers, so we also go to The Grand Slam Star Trek and Sci-Fi Summit XVIII. Take a closer look at all these fantastic fans when the "It's All Geek to Me" Reelz Special premieres this weekend. Check schedule for times.

Working Out in the Mountains continued...
"It can be a way of doing natural intervals," says Ayres, when you push the body, then rest alternately.
In Winston-Salem, N.C., Pittsley hikes in the Appalachian Mountains.
Take a picnic lunch, he says, and hike until you find a view somewhere to spread out, near a pretty steep incline. Relax and have lunch, he says, taking in the view and the scents and sounds of nature. Once you've rested and digested, use the incline to challenge yourself.
"Walk up with strong, bold steps and then walk down slow for recovery," Pittsley says.
Repeat this 10 times and you've got yourself a nice workout, he promises. Compare it to running the bleachers at the local football field. (If you never ran bleachers, chances are someone you knew boasted about doing it.)
If you've got a mountain bike, many areas have miles of dirt trails great for the fat, nubby tires of a mountain bike. Even moderate trail cycling is a great whole-body workout that doesn't feel like exercise.
Exercise on the Beach
If you're going to the beach this summer, says Ayres, pack a mask and some fins and snorkel. "It's not going to be this high-end cardiovascular workout," he says, but it does keep the body moving. "You're using big muscle groups and the fins add increased resistance. It's great work for the back extensors, the lower limbs, and the trunk."
See who can find the most interesting, colorful sea life or other underwater treasures. Venture a bit further out so you take more effort to get back to the boat or shore.
If getting in the water is not your thing, put up a net and get a friendly game of volleyball going. Or throw the Frisbee or a football around. Throw far and go long, you'll be surprised how winded you can get.
How about building a sand castle? Can that be a workout? Pittsley says you don't have to build one, just start moving the sand around the beach.
Start kneeling with an empty bucket. Reach in front of you and dig out a full bucket of sand and twist to toss it behind you, alternating sides for a great oblique workout. You may not feel it then, but you may be sore the next morning, so don't overdo it.

As a proud signatory to the Pro Bono Institute's Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge, Kaye Scholer views pro bono work as an essential part of our core values and collaborative culture.
Beyond our commitment to, and belief in, the importance of justice and legal parity, an active pro bono practice promotes skills training and exposure to increased responsibilities for associates and enables all lawyers to fulfill their professional obligation to provide pro bono legal services.
The needs of low-income, oppressed, victimized, falsely accused and other disenfranchised individuals who lack access to quality legal representation far exceed what any one law firm can provide. To maximize the impact of our pro bono work, we partner with a select number of nonprofits such as the Anti-Defamation League, Asian American Legal Defense & Education Fund, Brennan Center for Justice, Lawyers Alliance for New York, LatinoJustice, New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, Public Counsel, The Legal Aid Society, and Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs. These organizations help us identify pro bono clients who not only have the greatest need but, based on the specific facts and unique circumstances of each client, are also most likely to benefit from the type of legal work and experience that our lawyers offer.

Capabilities: How We Do It
While we encourage and support myriad pro bono opportunities so that our lawyers can pursue those projects most meaningful to them personally or professionally, we focus on six key areas:
- Death Penalty Appeals
We are particularly proud of our 40-year tradition of taking on difficult habeas and clemency petitions for indigent death row inmates; we have argued several of these cases before the US Supreme Court.
- Immigration & Asylum
We assist refugees from around the world who are fleeing persecution due to their political opinions, religious affiliation, sexual orientation or other specific grounds, and seeking asylum in the US. We also represent immigrant victims of domestic violence, unaccompanied alien minors and children applying for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status.
- Social Entrepreneurship & Nonprofit Support
In partnership with Echoing Green, an organization that provides seed funding and other necessary tools to social entrepreneurs around the world, we offer pro bono legal counsel to Echoing Green's Fellows and US alumni who have established companies to benefit society. We also advise many nonprofits on contract, corporate, employment, intellectual property and real estate issues.
- Social Security Disability Benefits
Since 2000, we have represented more than 100 low-income disabled children and adults seeking disability benefits.
- Transgender Name Changes
We help transgender clients navigate the legal process of completing a formal name change, which is often the first step toward conforming their legal identities to the way they identify and live their lives.
- Virtual Pro Bono Law Firm
Launched in early 2014, in partnership with longtime client Pfizer Inc, this program is for retired partners and special counsel who possess both the senior-level experience and the availability to tackle highly complex pro bono cases that will significantly transform society.
