NexThought Monday – Applying Wall Street Ideas to NGOs in Rural India: A closer look at the first education impact bond
Business and financial buzzwords that have long dominated boardrooms and global conference calls - like "make vs. buy" or "risk and return" – are entering the landscape of NGOs. The latest manifestation of this is a new type of bond for development programs that leverages investor and risk dynamics typically found in business deals. The very first of these "development impact bonds" in education launched in rural India last year.

NexThought Monday – Does Anti-Poverty Work Actually … Work?: Three questions every 'pro-poor' group needs to ask themselves
How can we fully distinguish pro-poor programs from those that are not? Leading thinkers of the "social performance" movement in microfinance (seeking social as well as financial return on investment) have hit upon a truth that applies to all anti-poverty work: Truly pro-poor programs provide the right answer to each of three straightforward questions.

Weekly Roundup: Fewer hungry people, a lot more patents and a spotlight on the whiteness of NGOs
A bit of good news floated across the news wires this week: The number of hungry people in the world has dropped dramatically. Considering the drop in hunger, perhaps it's not a coincidence that as a globe, we never been more inventive, according to a surge in patents.

Weekly Roundup – A Tale of Two Earthquakes: As the development community focuses on Nepal, will it repeat the mistakes it made in Haiti?
Over 6,200 people have died from Nepal's recent earthquake, with almost 14,000 injured – numbers that will certainly grow in the coming days. But as the world seeks ways to help the country, some are raising the cautionary tale of a related disaster: the January 2010 earthquake that devastated Haiti, and the inefficient, tragically mismanaged response from the global development community that followed it.

IMPORTANT ADVICE: If you haven't used an RFu before, and want to go prototyping, you will find it very useful to have one of these RFU Development Board
The RFu-328 is the world's smallest, most affordable, RF capable, over the air Arduino IDE programmable device:
Aimed at making Arduino powered products a reality. Ideal for lower power or smaller size projects and even small scale product production, this tiny module is perfect for the new age of the Internet of Things. The module has an SRF radio module installed so it's an out of the box low power RF node. It's the world's only SOM (system on module) Arduino device that can be programmed over the air direct from the Arduino IDE.
The RFu-328 will run the same code as the larger XinoRF because it shares the same ATmega 328 micro running at 16 MHz, almost all of the Arduino pins are available for use. So you can develop your system with the XinoRF and deploy with RFu-328.

Oklahoma football: Ranking the top 5 tight ends in the Bob Stoops era
Although the position group hasn't been as productive in the passing game the past couple seasons, Oklahoma has a history of strong tight end play, including the 15-year Bob Stoops era.
Here's a look at the five best Oklahoma tight ends since Stoops became the Sooners' head coach in 1999:
1. Jermaine Gresham (2006-09): The Ardmore product became one of Oklahoma's most important weapons on an offense that shattered records with Sam Bradford at quarterback. Gresham finished his collegiate career with 111 receptions, 1,629 yards and 26 touchdowns. He caught 14 touchdowns as a junior in 2008, when OU made a national-title game appearance. Gresham returned for his senior season, but he missed it entirely with a knee injury. Despite that, the Cincinnati Bengals picked him in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
2. Trent Smith (1999-2002): Smith, a former Clinton High standout, caught 164 passes for 1,525 yards and 16 touchdowns during his OU career. His best statistical season was as a junior in 2001, when he recorded 603 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
3. Joe Jon Finley (2004-07): Finley caught 62 passes for 775 yards and 10 touchdowns over his four-year collegiate career, improving his overall production level each season. As a senior, he caught four touchdown passes. Finley is now an offensive quality control coach with the Sooners.
4. James Hanna (2008-11): Hanna did most of his damage his last two seasons, when he caught 45 passes for 673 yards and nine touchdowns. He was involved in one of the most memorable plays in recent Bedlam history. As junior in 2010, with the Sooners clinging to a 2-point lead and 2:44 left in the game, Hanna got behind the OSU defense, caught a pass from Landry Jones and sprinted the rest of the 76 yards for what became a game-clinching touchdown. Hanna is entering his third season with the Dallas Cowboys.
5. James "Bubba" Moses (2002-05): Moses caught 31 passes for 350 yards and three touchdowns during his time at OU. His first two touchdowns were short-yardage plays near the goalline his junior season, and he caught a 26-yard score from Rhett Bomar in the Sooners' 42-14 rout of Oklahoma State his senior year in 2005.

Community dialog: South County
Look past Benghazi blame
This is in response to the editorial "Left indifferent to Benghazi failings" (Opinion, May 18): Yes, an attack happened and people died, and we are not indifferent to that. It was a tragedy, and we hope that steps will be taken to prevent such things from happening again. Whether you call it an "act of terror" or a "terrorist attack", these things will continue to happen, and we need to provide better security to our embassies, and maybe there would have been better security if Issa and other conservatives had voted for funding for the embassies.
This has turned into a witch hunt, like anything else attached to Obama. During the Bush years there were at least seven attacks on embassies, and people died. Where was the uproar for those attacks? Oh yes, they were under a Republican president, so that was OK.
At this point they are arguing over talking points, which is ridiculous. Instead, let's provide better security to our embassies and move on. I think the American public will remember all the time the Republicans have spent on trying to assign blame, instead of working on the real problems that need attention, and will vote them out of office in 2014. — Laura Lusk, Chula Vista
Share your thoughts
How to submit a letter or commentary for publication in the U-T.
Press Mexico for tighter emissions standards
The lead article in the Local Section May 17 pronounces that "Border waits pose health risk." Oh my gosh, another non-crisis is dressed up as a full-blown emergency. Expand the number of north bound lanes, the study that is the basis of the article says; increase staffing; use more technology — all so that the northbound drivers and pedestrians are not exposed to "toxic emissions."
But wait a minute, most of the northbound cars — all 70,000 or 80,000 a day at San Ysidro alone — are registered in Mexico, where the auto emission standards are an order on magnitude lower than in California or anywhere else in the U.S.
Instead of reducing the waiting time with expensive "fixes," how about Mexico instituting the same smog standards as California. That would not only reduce the exposure of border crossers to "toxic emissions," but it would also reduce the pollution cars registered in Mexico barf into the atmosphere north of the border every day! — Tom Davis, Chula Vista
Losing control of government
Have we lost control? Does our government no longer do what is best for the country? The U-T's May 17 article about unemployment benefits running out for a million Californians ("More than 1M Californians have exhausted jobless benefits") may be a good example.
Staff writer Jonathan Horn opines " … this isn't one (milestone) to brag about." How can one, when the federal government has extended these benefits for some up to 99 weeks, almost two years. Is that not an incentive to not work rather than the helping hand it was meant to be?
How about paying farmers not to grow crops? How about the fraud & corruption in welfare, notwithstanding histories of second and third generations on welfare? How about giving medical benefits to illegal immigrants?
The list goes on and on, so how much long can we let our government run out of control and continue to renew, institute or increase program after program. Doesn't an ever-spiraling national debt prove the point? Maybe our government, like "HAL," the computer in "2001: A Space Odyssey," has its own agenda and we, the people, lack any ability to control it. — Mark Blakey, Bonita
Partisanship impedes tax code reform
In response to "Outrage at IRS grows" (May 14): I think the U-T should give the readers the entire story on political groups claiming charitable tax exemptions. If this practice sounds strange to ordinary people they are not alone.

Verification Selection Criteria
Students submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). As a result of FAFSA processing, some students are selected to complete verification at their institution.
Ohio University verification parameters will vary from year to year based on the research collected and by reviewing the prior year's verification population.
If discrepant information is found or detected during regular processing or review of the student's FAFSA, the student is manually selected for verification. This can occur if a FAFSA item appears inaccurate or a student provides information that shows discrepant data.
Required Verification Documents
The verification items that Ohio University chooses to verify vary based on the selection criteria.
When reviewing the student's FAFSA information in relation to verification materials, if other items appear to be inaccurate, other documentation is manually requested by posting additional items on a student's To Do list.
Acceptable Documentation
Acceptable Documentation may include:
- Student or parent Federal tax transcripts
- Student or parent W-2 forms
- Ohio University generated forms found online at http://www.ohio.edu/financialaid/misc/fa_forms.cfm
Adjusted Gross Income and Income Tax Liability
A student or parent's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) and Income Tax Liability are verified with a tax return transcript. Any student not selected for verification, but shows questionable or conflicting data, will be manually selected for verification.
Untaxed Income and Exclusions
Untaxed income is any income that is excluded from federal income taxation under the IRS code. Exclusions are types of income that may be used to reduce an AGI based on Title IV regulations. While some types of untaxed income or exclusions are listed on the tax transcript or W-2 forms; others are not. Students selected to complete verification and who are required to verify these types of income must complete the Untaxed Income and Exclusions Form. This form requires the student and parent to provide any income received from the categories listed on the FAFSA. It must be signed by the student and parent (if applicable). Any student required to verify untaxed income and exclusions is also required to verify AGI and taxes paid. Therefore, these students are required to provide a tax transcript and all W-2 forms, which ensures that any untaxed income and exclusions provided on these forms will be accounted for regardless of whether it is listed on the Untaxed Income and Exclusions Form. Ohio University does not require the student to provide further documentation for each item on the form, but rather uses the signed form to complete verification.
If questionable of conflicting data is present, Ohio University may choose to require additional documentation of a certain type of untaxed income or exclusion. This would be done on a case by case basis.
Household Size and Number in College
To verify the household size of a student and the number of people in the household that are in college, a Family/College Verification Form is used. When a student is unable to provide a completed Family/College Verification Form, Ohio University will accept a statement regarding the household size and number in college signed and dated by the student and parent (if applicable).
Ohio University does require that, for an unborn child to be included in a student or parent household, the mother must be in her second trimester of the pregnancy and that the child is expected to be born within the award year. Medical documentation is required.
Verification and Awarding
Freshmen students may be awarded financial aid prior to completing verification, but must have a valid, non-rejected ISIR on file. Continuing students are not awarded financial aid until verification is completed. All students are required to complete the verification process prior to disbursement of any financial aid funds. Students not awarded before the end of the award year will not be eligible for student loans. Students may still receive the Federal Pell grant if awarded after the end of the award year as long as a valid ISIR was received prior to the end of the award year.
Generally, if a student has been selected for verification, they are not awarded any financial aid. If they were selected for verification after the fact, no further disbursements can be made until verification is completed. An exception is made for the initial awarding of freshman students. Freshman students who have not completed verification prior to packaging will receive a tentative award letter. A message is printed on the award letter indicating the awards are tentative until verification has been completed. Once verification has been completed, changes in the Expected Family Contribution will result in changes in the financial aid. After the first priority awards have been made, freshmen who have not completed verification will not be awarded until verification is complete. Upperclass and graduate students are not packaged and aid is not disbursed if the verification process is not complete.
Students receiving Federal Pell Grant funds must complete verification no later than 120 days after the last day of enrollment or August 30. Students receiving Campus-based aid or with Direct Loan eligibility must complete verification within two weeks the last day of enrollment. If an applicant does not complete verification by the established deadline, they forfeit their financial aid. If an applicant does not complete verification by the established deadline, they forfeit their financial aid. Students are notified in writing that their application has been selected for verification and of the information required to complete verification monthly.
Ohio University does not make interim disbursements on a regular basis. Interim disbursements may be made on a case-by-case basis.
Verification Exclusion
The Department of Education's Application and Verification Guide does provide several exclusions that may be implemented relieving students of the verification requirement. Ohio University does not implement these exclusions on a regular basis, but uses them on a case by case basis. Regardless of the student's circumstances, if questionable or conflicting data is found, it must be verified and corrected.
Verification Procedures
Once the required verification documents have been received, they are compared with the information reported on the student's FAFSA. If the student's information on the FAFSA is determined accurate as compared to the verification documents received, the process is complete and financial aid is awarded. If corrections are necessary due to verification or any other discrepant data found, these corrections typically return within five to seven days. The corrections are checked again for accuracy and verification is completed and financial aid is awarded or adjusted.

Vintage Truck Engine, Brakes, & Transmissions Restoration - Night SchoolWritten by on August 1, 2009 Join The Class!
Every vintage truck needs mechanical help. Often a frame-off restoration includes engine, transmission, steering system, brake, suspension, axle, and electrical work. Subletting these chores, a time-and-materials proposition, can be costly. Moreover, what's the point to a classic truck project if you can't perform the work or maintain the finished product yourself?
CLASSIC TRUCKS devotes extensive coverage to hands-on restoration and upgrade work. Whether your goal is a collectible truck headed back to factory condition or a build up of the ultimate street truck, CLASSIC TRUCKS is your go-to source for information. Safe to say, each of us started our hobby or professional work without a wit of mechanical, welding, or fabrication sense. In addition to the skills, space, and tools needed for a frame-off restoration, builders rely on professional manuals and quality "how-to" articles for guidance.
Up The Learning Curve
My teachers and mentors were professionals who shared their wisdom generously. Today, school boards argue whether to cut physical education, the music program, or shop classes. Four decades ago, when I attended high school, Mr. Gray's quality shop classes were a requirement. In what was then a manufacturing-based American society, he imparted skills that led to entry-level welding jobs, including field and off-road equipment repairs. Years later, after professionalizing my mechanical and welding skills, I taught and wrote curriculum at the adult education level, frequently paraphrasing Mr. Gray's pearls.
During my high school years, I worked after school at a full-service gas station. In the heyday of muscle cars, we routinely serviced and tuned today's "classics." A Chevron-trained, lube room tech was well versed in chassis and powertrain requirements. Such a ground school led to adult careers at professional mechanics, automotive parts sales, and machine shop work.
As a journey-level truck mechanic, I maintained a fleet that included '47-64 Chevrolet and GMC trucks, '48-64 Ford F-series models, plus a few vintage Dodge and International Harvester trucks. During off hours, I tuned muscle cars and built Jeep 4x4s. My daily driver and powertrain test bed, a '55 Ford F-100 pickup, started with its original V-8. I replaced the Y-block with a potent Pontiac V-8 before eventually lightening the front end with the installation of a high-performance small-block Chevy.
Who would have guessed that rugged utility trucks could one day become collectibles or slick-handling street trucks? From preventive care and tuning to unit repair and overhaul, I knew these models inside and out. Later, that exposure reflected in my magazine tech columns and books like the Jeep Owner's Bible, Ford F-Series Pickup Owner's Bible, Chevrolet & GMC Light Truck Owner's Bible and a pair of in-depth Jeep rebuilders' manuals.
Night School
For automotive work, the outcome is always predictable: Done right, the machine works properly; done wrong, the machine fails to perform. While quality metalwork and paint produce eye candy, dependable and safe performance is far less visible. Professional level mechanical work begins with understanding service fundamentals. Hands-on skill will follow.
Raising a family, pursuing a career, or surviving a recession takes a lot of energy. So, when do we find time for learning? There's a wealth of "stuff" online--some is valuable, some not. By comparison, trade schools and colleges, the traditional resources for training, take time, flexible schedules, and funding.
Night schools serve working, busy folks. For years, adult ed and community college courses like welding, engine rebuilding, tuning, and chassis work have been popular. Yet most of us have limited time, scarcely enough for the project in the garage! Scheduling a semester of school seems all but impossible.
"When the student is ready, the teacher comes..." I taught for the Job Corps and spent five years as an automotive and welding instructor at a charter high school for at-risk youth. The majority of my students were tough, former gang members, and the outcomes were excellent. Curriculum included chassis reconditioning, engine and automatic transmission rebuilding, and all phases of welding. The fully equipped shop setting had ample tools and textbooks plus the resources of the local community college.
Students trained year round, five days per week, three hours per day, for an average of fourteen months. Some stayed two years or longer. Clearly, this was an optimal learning environment. For the classic truck hobbyist and restorer, time like this is simply not available. Learning mechanics, welding, and vehicle maintenance requires night school. Better yet, a "Night School" within the pages of CLASSIC TRUCKS that can be studied at your convenience!
Classroom At Home
Think of this as distance learning or a correspondence course in mechanics and welding. You provide the shop space, and CLASSIC TRUCKS provides a monthly lesson. To keep it real, I have created a downsized shop facility for your benefit. After all, not everyone has a state-of-the-art shop for truck projects. These days, folks who have a home garage are grateful! In the coming months, in step with hands-on mechanical lessons, I'll share the floor plan for a fully functional, professional shop. Yes, you can learn and work within limited space!
Learning to rebuild, maintain, and repair your truck, we'll start with basics. Monthly lessons will include theory, hands-on projects and useful mechanical tips. The goal is professional, safe, and dependable work, the kind that will keep you cruising--rather than calling for a tow truck!
As for cost, well, you can't beat this offer: With each copy of CLASSIC TRUCKS, you can attend "Night School" free! Yes, the tuition and lab fees are already paid, and you can study at your own pace. Welcome to the class!

Why prime a newly rebuilt engine? Because 95 percent of all crankshaft bearing wear is at engine startup! There are several methods for priming the lubrication system plus ways to coat critical parts during engine assembly. During break-in, today's number one concern is camshaft-to-lifter run-in--not piston ring seating or bearings.This poly-head 318 was built to '57-58 Plymouth Fury standards. The dual four-barrel intake manifold is a stock Fury type. The original WCFB carburetors in matching numbers are now worth a small fortune. Cost-effective Edelbrock replacement carburetors work nicely for this Mopar street truck application. We'll talk about carburetor selection and sizing.Ever wonder what the original Hemi looked like? In our lesson plan, the differences between classic truck engines will be discussed. This is actually a 392, used in '57-58 Chryslers. Once sought after for dragsters and street rods, these powerplants are now rare. We'll discuss various street truck options, comparing earlier engines with later designs.Restoration always includes appearance. This Ford Mustang T10 case and tailhousing were originally bare cast iron, which rusts and has no sealing protection. (Cast iron absorbs road salt, creating a wet look that never goes away.) Here, an epoxy primer and cast-iron gray colorcoat look like new and protect the freshly rebuilt transmission.This hydraulic wheel cylinder is typical for a high-mileage vehicle. Use of a single-braking system master cylinder raises the risk. If this cylinder fails, and debris shows that it has leaked over time, a loss of brakes will result. In the "Night School" lessons, we'll talk about safe brake options, including disc brakes and dual-master cylinder conversions for pre-'67 trucks.There are many offshore sources for vintage parts. These brake cylinders are genuine U.S. built. More costly in some cases, U.S.-built hydraulics fit properly, look original and meet all DOT standards. Fifties applications like these are still available through NAPA and other retailers. Learn the difference at CLASSIC TRUCKS' "Night School."A Spicer/Dana integral axle is original equipment on many classic trucks. Spicer/Dana axles have high- and low-pinion designs and a variety of ratios and spring mounting designs. Setting up a ring-and-pinion requires skill and special care. Tools vary, and at "Night School" we'll discuss ways to do a professional job--often with basic or fabricated tools.Wheel bearing service and safety are synonymous. Most vehicles have tapered wheel bearings; older GM trucks do not. Ball-type wheel bearings require entirely different adjustment procedures and settings. Proper precautions when inspecting, packing, and adjusting wheel bearings make a practical lesson plan.Older braking systems look spare and lean. This GM application has no self adjusters and assembles quickly. Still, there are precautions and safe practices, like the primary (forward) shoe having the shorter lining on a "self-energizing" brake system. Say, we're getting ahead of ourselves--these are lesson topics.
On older vehicles, the rear brakes include the emergency brake mechanisms. Axle bearings must be in good condition, along with the axle shaft seals. Leaks and bearing wear wreak havoc, ruining the brake lining and creating a safety issue. We'll talk about axle bearing designs, seal types, and testing axle shaft wear.For authenticity, casting, and stamping, numbers can be critical. Some engine blocks interchange but may not be original. This block is a Ford FT medium-duty truck type that often finds its way into passenger cars and lighter trucks. Note the pipe thread hole above the oil pan ledge. This accepts the oil return hose for the air brake compressor.Cylinder heads for older engines can be rare. This Ford 428 Cobra Jet head had cracked intake and exhaust seats. Can a cylinder head be rebuilt under such conditions? Yes, if the job is done right. Here, hardened intake and exhaust seat inserts require high-performance upgrade valves. We'll need to discuss this further in a "Night School" lesson.Are electrical problems plaguing your truck project? Sometimes a vintage wiper motor must be restored--like this Chrysler unit from the late `60s. The motor was in rough shape and required thorough cleaning and bead blasting, rewiring, and zinc electroplating. This lesson will save money and preserve valuable components.Matching numbers are often necessary for collectible, authentically restored vehicles. This vintage Auto-Lite distributor has its original ID tag. The paint and luster were long gone. With care, the plate and paint finish have been restored to look new. To learn how, you won't want to miss this lesson.In the postwar era, ignition distributors were removed from the engine for tuning. The distributor "synchrograph" or strobe machine provided a testing platform for spark timing advance mechanisms. In our lessons, we will cover distributor rebuilding, breaker point tuning, plus the intricacies of setting spark timing curves for maximum performance.Here's a rare transmission, the Borg-Warner T85 "N" type found in '65-71 Ford F-trucks. The unit has a unique first gear ratio, no synchromesh on first or reverse gears, and a planetary overdrive. Parts can be scarce or obsolete for these transmissions. In our lessons, we'll cover interchange options and discuss the various transmission choices.Oh, no, chipped and broken cluster gear teeth! This T85N has a unique cluster gear with badly damaged teeth. The helically cut, non-synchromesh design is vulnerable to tooth chipping--especially if the driver has little or no experience with a non-synchromesh first gear! Hunting nationwide for a new (NOS) cluster gear proved futile...This is the same cluster gear after tooth repair. The task involved normalizing, TIG welding, tooth shaping, and post weld heat-treating to restore the original hardness of the gear. Your "Night School" instructor performed all work except the heat-treating. If you want to know more about gear repair, watch for that "Night School" lesson.
That grimy looking hulk comes back to life! The main case, overdrive and overdrive solenoid have each been rebuilt. Add a coat of black epoxy primer, and this Ford truck transmission returns to service for another lifespan. Quality restoration and rebuilding work can be the most exciting aspect of building a classic or street truck. Learn how at "Night School."This Ford recirculation ball manual steering gear was popular on cars and light trucks, some with power steering. The only way to build a steering gear is to factory standards. We'll discuss steering gear design and the rebuilding of manual and power steering gears used in classic trucks. There's open enrollment at the "Night School."Join the class!

My ownership history of MTBs includes:
Old carbon fiber Cadex (sold - too old, too small)
KHS soft tail (great bike but sold for Cannondale)
Cannondale F600 disc (loved it but it got stolen)
Merlin (sold - felt cheesy riding an awesome bike with no skill, plus I found I'm not a big Ti fan)
Trek 4300 (just purchased after 2 year hiatus from MTBing)
I got the 4300 because it felt the best on test rides, and honestly I have a thing for cheaper components these days. Kind of like 'em. The bike rode great except for the fork... wanted to upgrade that elastomer wonder (Gila RST) immediately, so I searched quite a bit on this forum and the review sites.
Came up with my answer as the Rock Shox Tora 302 w/poploc based on your recommendations. Tossed that bad boy on and it really made a world of difference. I love the lockout on the fly, I love the damping. It made my $420 bike ride like my former $1000+ bikes. Gracias amigos.

The drums, bass, and percussion are what'd you expect, while the guitar updates some of the jazz and "Shaft"-type sounds of the '70s. Don't expect string pads and sweet synth melody lines; the pads tend to be more like movie atmospheres crossed with effects, and the synths often feature bubbly, arpeggiated lines—think acid bass up an octave.
However, there are also some more conventional options. As to the FX, they're way cool: Throw them behind, or even instead of, a breakbeat, or to add some musical punctuation. Check out the example at www.eqmag.com — this is definitely the type of CD where the sum is greater than the parts, because everything fits together so well.

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
by Donald F. Glut
No current Talk conversations about this book.
My favorite of the SW films.
Out of the original trilogy this is my favorite book. The Empire Strikes back has a lot that happens, very detailed and it goes with the whole plot of the series. I didn't expect to like it after A New Hope was painful to get through, but this episode really gets to what the series is about. One thing I have to complain about is the revelation scene, over the years there has been so much hype about it and I'm sure in the movie it comes off better but in the book it was just terrible and I ended up laughing. Other than that I enjoyed the episode.
More please!
Group P
It takes no small talent to start with the best of the Star Wars films and turn it into something boring, but Donald F. Glut's novelization of Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back somehow manages it. Full of bad dialogue and dull narration, the novel adds nothing to the film and lacks most of what made Episode V so enjoyable.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0345283929, Mass Market Paperback)Perhaps you think the Star Wars trilogy cannot be fully realized with audio alone. You think you'd miss the stunning visuals, the emotions of the actors, and the special effects. You think it would be a disappointment. As Yoda might say, "So impossible is it? So certain are you?" This production of The Empire Strikes Back was created by the same team that produced National Public Radio's amazingly successful presentation of Star Wars: The Original Radio Drama in 1981. Presented in 10 episodes, the longer format allows for a great expansion of the story and new scenes--though purists may be disappointed by the slight but significant change in the story line while the Rebels are on Hoth. Once again, Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels are on hand to reprise their roles as Luke Skywalker and C-3PO, and this time they are joined by Billy Dee Williams reprising his part as Lando Calrissian. A fine cast performs the rest of the roles, notably John Lithgow as Yoda and the very compelling Perry King as the "slimy, double-crossing, no good swindler" Han Solo. Sound effects and John Williams's score from the movie have been remixed to help create a convincing soundscape--so good, you can really "see" the movie by listening to it. The Empire Strikes Back: The Original Radio Drama will thrill all Star Wars fans, whether or not they enjoy audiobooks. (Running time: 5 hours, 5 cassettes) --C.B. Delaney

1991 Dodge Daytona Shelby Turbo 2dr Hatchback
I built up this car for drag racing, installed Mopar injectors, high flow fuel pump, hybrid turbo, OBX limited slip diff, etc etc. Chrysler built these cars STRONG from the factory, they can take tons of abuse. I have had little to no issues with the car at all. The seats are comfy and hold you in your seat around turns, and are power adjustable. The 5 speed manual gearbox is the only way to go in my opinion, and the car has taken many clutch-dump launches with ease.
Wicked power, handling, seats, pretty good gas milage (when your not hammering the gas all the time). Beautiful body design with the Shelby ground effects, look amazing with rims and tint.
Excellent car. Modern features yet
still easy to work under hood. Built
Turbocharged engine.
Stiffer suspension would be nice.

CCHS Has New Leader
Interim principal will take the role fulltime
May 9, 2013
WHEELING — Rebecca Sancomb will take over as the new principal at Wheeling Central Catholic High School, school officials announced Wednesday....
Good Luck to the new princpal at CCHS however..what the...president is being looked for? Don't understand..tuition is high enough..do we really need more admin? Like to hear more from Bishop Bransfield about his intentions on these matters.

She says in her comments that she believes in and will support the Catholic school mission.
Her kids go to Catholic school.
She is Danny's wife, although I don't see how that makes any difference here.
She will do a GREAT job! Congradulations.

Here is the real question. Does she believe in the Catholic school mission? Where do her chlidren go to school? Are they in public shcools?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
So how is she related to Danny Sancomb at WJU? Citing experience at MDC is not a good thing, the Diocese rode that fabulous institution into the ground like a lawn dart and then blew it up. There surely must be some relation to WJU's coach, also from Maryland, and if so, wonder why it was not mentioned in the article? It would not be wrong to be related but it just seems like more Diocese PR stuff that they thought it was good to not mention that. What with WJU now attacking its neighborhood. Sorry folks, but when the Bishop wanted the sports field, they knocked the neighborhood down. Your property values just took a huge dive. Hope there is not another Diocese 5 yr plan for CCHS, cuz at the end of their plans there is no school left standing. They should stop using the world Diocese and start using Politburo

I would assume that if there aren't any that it's OK to do. Be SURE that the Retailer address and phone # 'match' what you're finding on the net. If not, or if it's like a P.O Box (if you know what I mean), forget it.
The only thing that I like about buying 'in person' is in case you have to return something. Customer Service has a price. Personally, I only do small purchases over the Net for personal 'things'. Again, I like to see who I'm doing business with.
My best to ya and hope this helps.

PS: Perhaps the Internet Retailer just puts you in touch w/a local Retailer. Kinda like how some of those Internet "We've can get you a new car for $100 over cost!" gimicks are. They simply put you in touch w/a car dealer in your area. For me, that's OK if that's how the Internet Floor Retailer is operating ...
I tend to agree with your sentiment, Jay, about buying only small things off the Internet: thus my reluctance. But $2.25 per square foot for select-grade, 3-inch by 3/4-inch Brazilian Cherry (not American Cherry, but the very hard Barzilian Cherry) is almost too good to pass up. (Home Depot does not even sell the cheap, common-grade red oak for that price). I have received samples and they look great. Anyone else have any experience?

Robot Mode of Megatron in 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' Exposed
A slight hint to the possible new form of Megatron in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" has been let out through a leaked image. Shared out by 2005 Boards Member S250, the new robot mode of the Decepticon's once fallen leader sports what looks like to be an advance canon on his right arm and tank treads for his boots.
Though it is still unclear whether this concept art is a fan-made or the original one, it seems to enforce the previous rumor that Megatron may be taking a tank alternate mode observing from the tank treads. Painted in silver, the pic also exposes that the baddie's left arm is badly damaged. The image of possible new Megatron can be seen via TFW2005.
From the man who brought "Armageddon and "Bad Boys" franchise, Michael Bay, comes a second "Transformers" movie. Set for June 26, 2009 release, it stars Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, John Turturro, Isabel Lucas and Rainn Wilson. Undergoing its production since early June, the action fantasy film written by Ehren Kruger, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci centers the story on the battle between Autobots and their new strong enemy, the Fallen.

Old Exhibitions Head to Storage; Schools Scrimmaging Instead
Byline: Patrick Stevens, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
There is little doubt Maryland is eager to receive its first look against outside competition when it welcomes Indiana (Pa.) to Comcast Center on Tuesday for an exhibition game.
Fans will be there (along with their money). So too will media members. Yet it's a glimpse fewer schools provide thanks to the ascent of the popularity of closed scrimmages.
The Terrapins dabble in both, and a handful of schools, such as Duke, still play a pair of traditional exhibitions - now against lower-division schools rather than traveling all-star teams. Others, such as Virginia Tech, have embraced a scrimmage-only outlook in the preseason.
It doesn't have the same limitations as an exhibition game, Hokies coach Seth Greenberg said. You play an exhibition game, and you never really know who you're playing. You can play three guys who have Seth Greenberg's hairline and two guys that played 20 years ago in America and are just hanging on to a paycheck. If you're scrimmaging Georgetown, you know what you're getting.
The setup is simple. According to NCAA rules, no fans are permitted in the building for scrimmages. Same goes for reporters and recruits, and schools cannot send out releases on the results.
Scrimmages take away a moneymaking opportunity. But down a rung on the college basketball food chain - such as at Drexel, which plays in the 2,532-seat Daskalakis Athletic Center - there isn't the same financial incentive to play an exhibition.
Nobody's going to come watch an exhibition game in the DAC, Drexel coach Bruiser Flint said. Be realistic. When I was at UMass and you were getting 8 to 10,000 people, I can see exhibition games. When you're in the DAC, you're getting 500 people to come see a game that's going to be 105-100 and no defense and you're ticked off at your kids.
There's also a preparation facet involved. Wake Forest coach Dino Gaudio, whose team plays one scrimmage and one exhibition, sets up an itinerary before a scrimmage. Ten minutes could be devoted to facing man defenses. Another 10 minutes could be allocated to using role players. There also could be shorter periods for working on specialty situations, such as inbound passes. …

|Sick Girl (Lucky Mckee)
|Released On: June 27, 2006
Region: 1
Production Company: Anchor Bay Entertainment
A shy entomologist drawn into a tentative lesbian affair following the discovery of a mysterious new species of bug finds herself faced with a startling metamorphosis in May director Lucky McKee's creep-crawly entry into Showtime's terrifying Masters of Horror series. Ida Teeter's (Angela Bettis) life revolves around bugs, and upon discovering a large unidentified crawler while simultaneously being drawn into a heated affair with a beautiful young woman named Misty (Erin Brown), the studious wallflower's personal and professional lives begin heating up like never before. It seems that the bizarre new insect has some fairly strange feeding habits, and when seduction leads to infection and bloodletting, the stage is set for a horrifying mutation that will find Ida identifying more closely with her insect subjects than ever before. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I doubt the Stoner / Rossi debate actually can end 'cos we'll never really know.
Rossi (I think) is second only to Ago in terms of overall things won but Ago tended to have way better kit than the competition most (not all) of the time. Rossi didn't.
Then again as pointed out above, Once he hit his stride Casey kicked Vale's bum more often than Vale kicked his.
My suspicion is Rossi *could* be the GOAt for bikes without electronic aids & Stoner for with. But then Stoner was pretty good in the lower classes without too. Hell, we'll never know.
I like 'em both so sod it.
More immediately, much as I'd like to see Cal on the podium, expect the Hondas to sort out what's holding them back and feature strongly by race day.

Three female Marines are the first women to graduate from the Corps' tough enlisted infantry training school in North Carolina.
Marine Corps spokeswoman Capt. Geraldine Carey says the three completed the rigorous 59-day course at Camp Geiger near Camp LeJeune and are participating in a Thursday ceremony.
Carey says the women met the same test standards as the men in the class. The course includes a grueling 12-mile march with an 80-pound pack as well as a variety of combat fitness tests.
Camp Geiger is located on the Marine Corps Air Station New River and it is the home of the School of Infantry for the Marine Corps's Eastern Region.
The course follows basic training at Parris Island, S.C., and trains about 20,000 Marines every year.

Romania Emerging as a Promising Foreign Market, U.S. Bankers Say
Kraus, James R., American Banker
Convinced that Romania is moving ahead economically, several leading U.S. banks are having a second look at the Eastern European nation.
Bankers said Romania's voracious need for investments, a relatively large and well-educated population, a well-developed industrial infrastructure, and significant natural resources are turning the country into an increasingly attractive market.
"We're quite optimistic about Romania," said Shahzad Shabaz, senior vice president and regional manager for BankAmerica Corp. in London. "It's clearly leading the way in the Balkans."
"We think the prospects for increasing business are rather good," said Harold Meyerman, a managing director at Chase Manhattan Corp.
The increased interest in Romania follows last year's election of Emil Constantinescu as president. A reformist, Mr. Constantinescu is moving to privatize government-owned corporations, including banks.
The conviction that Romania's economy is heating up has also sent the Bucharest stock exchange soaring fivefold in local currency terms and enabled one of Romania's biggest banks, Banca Comerciala Romana, to issue a $75 million Eurobond.
For decades, Chase Manhattan Corp. …

Receive Breaking News updates as they occur
A brief, partial lockdown at the White House was lifted on Monday after a metal object tossed over the fence was tested and determined not to be dangerous, the U.S. Secret Service said. President Barack Obama was at the White House during the incident. An individual threw the object over the north fence of the complex, Secret Service spokesman Shawn Holtzclaw said in an emailed statement.
The director of the Cincinnati Zoo on Monday stood by the decision to shoot dead a gorilla as he dragged a 4-year-old boy around by the ankle, saying the ape was not simply endangering the child who fell into his enclosure but actually hurting him. "Looking back, we would make the same decision" to shoot the gorilla, Thayne Maynard, director of the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Gardens, told a news conference. The gorilla was clearly disoriented," Maynard said, while lamenting the loss of Harambe, a 17-year-old Western lowland gorilla, whose species is listed as endangered.
MIAMI (AP) — Travelers who had braced for long lines and long waits were instead moving through most U.S. airports fairly quickly Monday, as the busy Memorial Day travel weekend drew to close.

Im a male with an unisex name
It means "very beatiful" (mom didnt know that i was named after my father)
But Courtney conjures up a normal or psyquic whis is good because we need a male psywuic or normal specialist other than cheran
My username Aquarius is a starsign that is known to be intellectual so maybe a psyquic-intellectual
Overall a psychic specialist
Come forth all psyquic types Aquarius will lead you with his mind
The Aquarius loves a party. Anytime, anywhere is their motto. It is not unlikely that an Aquarius will consider a wake a good place to meet chicks. Aquarians love to be naked. It is even better if they are naked and crocked. Froot Loops is a very Aquarian cereal. So is Rice Krispies, since it will engage in a friendly chat with the Aquarian as he or she is eating breakfast. Count Chocula is off-limits, however. It belongs to the Scorpios. Aquarians use the phrase "Dude, man..." frequently when describing philosophical concepts. Aquarians have out-of-body experiences on a daily basis. If you are talking to an Aquarian and he or she zones out, consider the conversation hopeless. He or she is talking to the guy three feet away from you. Aquarians are fun because they channel people. Plus, if you tell them to, they will run around naked. Aquarians like astronomy because they've been to all those places. If you want to know what the food is like on Saturn, ask an Aquarius. Aquarians can allow themselves every possible vice on the planet, and don't think twice about it. That is why they piss everyone else off. They are cosmically entitled to do this.

Three-way race as the Pac-10 hits the stretch
Oregon and Southern California meet this weekend to determine the Pac-10 title – maybe.
The winner may still have to deal with Arizona as a topsy-turvy season on the West Coast unfolds.
The 23rd-ranked Wildcats have joined the 10th-ranked Ducks and No. 4 Trojans in The Associated Press Top 25. They're the only three teams that command their own destiny in the conference race.
"Our conference is as tough right now, as I'm seeing it, as I've ever seen," USC coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday on the Pac-10 coaches teleconference. "It is a very, very tough conference this year. The team that makes it through it on top is going to be really good."
Carroll is biased. But he's not alone in his assessment midway through the season.
Respect for the Pac-10 is coming from an unlikely place – the Bowl Championship Series computers. The BCS has not always been kind to the Pac-10, but two of its six computers – the Sagarin Football Ratings and Anderson & Hester – rank the conference ahead of the Southeastern, which tops the other ratings.
The long-held perception that the Pac-10 is USC and the 9 Dwarves apparently is fading.
Oregon (6-1, 4-0 Pac-10), USC (6-1, 3-1) and Arizona (5-2, 3-1) have thrust themselves into contention against demanding schedules. The NCAA ranks Arizona's cumulative schedule – past and future opponents – third in the nation, while Oregon's is ninth and USC's is 26th.
Oregon's loss came at Boise State, which remains unbeaten and has climbed to No. 6.
Arizona's first loss came at Iowa, which is also unbeaten and is ranked seventh. The Wildcats also absorbed a fluke defeat at Washington when a pass bounced off receiver Delashaun Dean's shoe, was intercepted and returned for the decisive touchdown.
USC had a head-scratching loss at Washington but has bolstered its national image with road wins over Ohio State and Notre Dame, both ranked at kickoff.
"I'm hopeful we're getting some increased appreciation for the schedule our teams play," commissioner Larry Scott said in a telephone interview this week.
The question is whether the new respect and appreciation will translate into an at-large berth on Dec. 6, when BCS bowl pairings are announced.
The Pac-10 has a history of frustration with the BCS, especially when it comes to drawing the second berth that would bolster the league's postseason revenues. The Pac-10 has had only two at-large teams in the BCS' 11-year history.
The BCS's arcane ranking formula has cost the Pac-10. Geography is also a factor, because the Orange and Sugar Bowls are unlikely destinations for West Coast teams.
But that may be changing. Orange Bowl representatives showed up in Tucson for the UCLA-Arizona game last weekend, even though the Wildcats are a long shot to spend the holidays in Miami.
If the Wildcats win out, they'll play in their first Rose Bowl game. If they lose a third game, it's doubtful that they'd be ranked in the top 14 in the final standings and be eligible for an at-large BCS berth. Arizona is 20th this week.
"They would be attractive as a team that hasn't gone for a while," Orange Bowl spokesman Larry Wahl said. "They've shown in basketball that they have a very strong fan base."
Arizona coach Mike Stoops seemed surprised when he spotted the orange-jacketed reps from Miami at his postgame news conference.
"I think we're earning more and more respect as we're going through the season," he said.
