Lumina Euro very reliable auto
by Mountain Car Enthusiast from Mabton Wa | October 15, 2009
We purchased the car from a local Chevy dealership with 60K miles but a recent top end repalcement. Kept oil, filters and plugs new- the engine purrs like it was new and it's got great power (16 in. rims really make the difference) and has a great top gear for decent hiway mileage (22-25). Although we're going to sell it, I can't say enough about it's reliability. Always roars out of the start, even after 1 1/2 yrs sitting in the garage. A nice car for the money no doubt.

Good car for money
by Captain Redneck from Waterville, ME | August 19, 2009
I have had 3 of these cars. They were 1 Euro coupe, and 2 Euro sedans, ranging from 92-94. Overall it is a good car, but there are a few things to watch for. From 90-94 GM used a leaf spring type setup that broke easly. Over time the rubers fall out of the ends and the spring fails. All of mine suffered from that problem. Also the cheap rear calipers only last one break job. They stick very easily and need to be changed EVERY time you do rear brakes. All of mine suffered this problem. Once you get past those things it is overall a great car. The 3.1 V6 maybe small but it packs a punch!

Thought it was a clunker!!
by Syke13 from Mobile, Al | June 9, 2009
My other work car died on me for the time being, so I found this Lumina with only 74,000 original miles on it. Now my wife is driving it and i am in her suv. i love the power and how quiet it is. the only problem is that one of the struts is bad, but that will be corrected. the paint is terrible, my manager says that year had a laminent problem, but i am gonna keep it for a while and get it painted, one of the best cars i have driven!!

5 Lumina Sedans, all cherries!
by Luminas Rock from Springfield, MO | May 12, 2007
My family has owned 5 different Lumina Sedans (90-95s)and have never been left wanting! We have owned 2 of the 93 Euros and both were absolute dreams to drive. We bought both cars used and ran them beyond 200,000 miles before anything serious wore out. They do have the notorious Chevy breaks, especially on the rear, so you do have to keep an eye on them, but I've never been dissapointed in the power or road-hugging capabilities of this nearly full-sized sedan. It has a very large turing radius and a front-end that is longer than it "feels," so give yourself plenty of room when parking. I find that I can take "45mph" curves at 60-65 without feeling like I'm going to loose it. It is hard to feel speed in this car. When passing one day, I was suprised to look down and find I was going almost 100, no shimmys, no rattles, just a smooth ride. If new parts weren't getting so hard to find, I would buy another Lumina in a heartbeat. They are easy for the non-dealer mechanic to work on, and junkyard parts are accessable to most people. I would definately encourage a budding mechanic to buy this car and drive it through its twilight miles, you won't be dissapointed.

Great Family Sport Coupe (FSC)
by Sport Man from Emporia, VA | June 15, 2006
I love this car! Very sporty for a car of the early nineties. The 3.4L V6 makes 200hp. I bought a performance chip which gave me another 10 horses.I bought this car three years ago with 96k on the clock. It now has 174k and is still running strong. I shall keep this for a long time.

ESPN-KHL Deal in the Works?
Posted 02 October 2012 - 02:56 PM
This would be astounding. The NHL blows its deal with ESPN in the last lockout, now the KHL looks willing to fill the void during this lockout. Priceless, Gary.
Do they bring back Gary Thorne (please yes) and Bill Clement (meh)?

I actually used to hate when the games were aired on ESPN because I couldn't get my Ken and Mickey fix...wasn't it on UPN50 back then? God I'm getting old!

I don't know. When ESPN lost the NHL they filled the time slots with lumberjack games and poker. Both enjoyed huge boosts in their fanbases. Especially poker.

can't really compare poker to hockey. poker is best shown only in highlights because of the extremely slow pace of the game. besides, way more people play poker than play ice hockey.
I don't know. When ESPN lost the NHL they filled the time slots with lumberjack games and poker. Both enjoyed huge boosts in their fanbases. Especially poker.
so while it might increase the interest level of the KHL for a while, that will soon vanish once the NHL starts up and you can start watching live games again during normal hours of the day.
the only way i see the NHL start worrying about the KHL is if the top players like ovechkin and crosby stay over there even when the NHL starts back up, which will never happen.

The Kontinental Hockey League has reached an agreement with the US sports TV channel ESPN to broadcast games in the 2012/2013 KHL Championship. The games will be shown on the ESPN3 channel in the United States, Territories of the United States, and also in Great Britain.
ESPN3 reaches 73 million American households and devotes most of its output to live broadcasts of events, including college football, college basketball, the NBA, MLB, ICC (International Cricket Council) competitions and qualifying matches of FIFA tournaments.
During the first ten days of October, the channel will broadcast five KHL games. The planned schedule includes:
Dynamo Moscow vs Ak Bars on Oct. 3rd;
Lev vs SKA on Oct. 6th;
Slovan vs Dynamo Moscow on Oct. 7th;
CSKA vs SKA on Oct. 8th;
Lev vs Dynamo Moscow on Oct. 9th.
Honestly I'd probably tape some games and watch, just to see some of the NHL players and get my hockey fix.

having said that... I miss living in Poland and having Czech TV with live broadcast of 4-5 games a week. in normal working hours and with Czech commentary (which I understand much better than Russian)...
oh well... good for you guys to get a chance to watch a game of decent KHL hockey once in a while. and if it puts extra pressure on greedy NHL owners - even better!
on the side note: http://www.laola1.tv.../224-2451-.html broadcats 1-2 KHL games a day. and it's normally 11 AM for people on the East Coast - not bad to turn on the broadcast and follow a piece of it while working (at least if you're an office sl* like me )

I did not know ESPN3 existed, but now thanks to KHL I found a place to watch Premier League football in good quality. And maybe some KHL hockey on top of that.
Posted 02 October 2012 - 07:54 PM
that's because espn3 is about as mainstream as versus was. espn3 is not even a cable channel, only an online channel available to people who happen to subscribe to an isp or tv provider that subscribes to espn3
I did not know ESPN3 existed
so whils this is certainly a good start for the KHL, this is going to do nothing to put pressure on the owners to end the lockout

This is actually pretty cool. ESPN3 is free to many US ISPs, including mine. So you make a free account at home, then download the app for your smartphone, and you watch it wherever you want.
It also helps get around the 8 hour difference. Yeah, it will be 9:30am out here in the West, but I can watch it mobile, or watch the replay later. It beats paying for Gamecenter.

Second, ESPN3 is not a "premium" service. It's basically the same as HBO Go, which is HBO's excellent web/tablet/smartphone portal to on-demand content. If you already have ESPN through one of the major service providers (including Comcast), you literally put your account login information online and you can stream it. I think this concept is pretty alien to a lot of people, but became pretty familiar during the 2012 London Olympics. Download the WatchESPN app for iOS, or its also carried on streaming devices like an XBox 360. I've used it to watch on-demand MLS games, IndyCar races, etc., but they have TONS of obscure European stuff. If you're already paying for these services, you might as well get your money's worth!

I gained a great deal of confidence and knowledge. I have told a number of teachers, administrators and students about this learning experience and of the class. Thanks for everything.
I would recommend this class to anyone who would like to have a better understanding of Word 2007.
This course is self-explanatory and professionally written. I appreciate the instructor's time and expertise. Thank You.
This was my first class through ed2go, and I thought it was great! The lessons were the right length and they were very easy to understand. Feedback in the discussion area was very quick. I would definitely recommend Craig Power as an instructor, and would sign up for another class taught by him.
This was my first experience with an online course. I have a college degree but wanted to improve my computer skills. This was interesting and I found it to be helpful in learning newer technology. Thanks so much.
Without a doubt the most comprehensive and easiest to follow course I have ever taken!!

Both were offered similar deals between 3.9 and 4.5 although I forget the exact dollar figure Hossa rejected from the Wings. In hindsight would it have been better to keep Hossa instead....clearly yes but at the time I don't think it was that obvious.
Keeping both was never really an option considering they already had 2 guys on lifetime deals, they still had hopes Lidstrom would keep playing for a few years and they knew Datsyuk was going to need a new deal in the near future as well.
As it stands there is an outside chance Hossa gets bought out this off-season. Chicago isn't in a very pretty spot capwise, with Kruger, Stalberg, Bickell, Mayers, Rozsival, Leddy and Emery all needing to be re-signed with only 4 million in cap space available.
Hindsight is always easy to wipe away and see clearer. I know the options that Holland had and already mentioned that at the time Franzia was lights out every night and in the playoffs, so you cannot blame Holland for thinking that that would continue. As it turned out, it didn't and keeping him over Hossa looks idiotic right now.
I could only hope that Chicago buys out Hossa and Holland reclaims the jewel he lost. But will Hossa want to come back here with our winning ways behind us for the moment? Datsyuk sure would be happy...

At first I was with you on this, but in your video you see Neal really let up last minute and try to avoid contact thus showing respect for his fellow NHL'er...Not the case at all with Torres, he wanted to f*** Hossa up, the same way he did with his other sixty-three infractions this season.

Then we simply disagree. I don't see letting up on the contact nor trying to avoid him. The puck is much further away, for a longer period than with Torres. Torres is a harder hit, and has a bigger rap sheet, but I don't see this as any better.
Frankly, I want my D-men to f*** people up, in a cleaner way, but I certainly want that.
All of this IMO has been spiraling downhill for a while, but it was really poignant after the Rome-Horton hit, where because Horton was hurt, Rome got suspended (or a longer one) due to that. Eventually it is going to get to the point where players will stay down, sit out a couple games and give the offender a 10 game suspension.
I respect your opinion, I just don't see the avoidance you claim.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Gary Bettman has cut four games off the 25-game suspension given to Raffi Torres during the playoffs.
The reduced sentence from the commissioner came after the Phoenix Coyotes forward appealled Brendan Shanahan's original decision.
Torres served 13 games of the ban during the playoffs and will have to sit out the coming pre-season as well as eight games in the regular season.
As a result, he'll forfeit US$170,731.68 in salary.
The suspension was handed out April 21 after Torres left Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa with a concussion following a high, hard hit.

Raffi appealed it, that's why it was reduced. In all of the major sports, appeals go through the commissioner and commissioner only.
No explanation as to why he reduced it? I don't like this, Shanahan's job is to handle discipline and now 2 months later Buttman decides to change it? I don't care if he is comissioner, if Shanny can give explanations for his suspensions the he should too.
Any time a sentence is appealed, about 99% of the, get reduced.

Dear students, parents, and community members:
Reflection and solitude are an important part of life. Equally important are the connections we make with the people who touch our lives. Friends, faculty and staff members, clergy, and family are people from whom we can draw comfort during times of trial. Marquette is a close community of people who care deeply for the world and its sufferings. This is implicit in our mission.
As we continue to develop into men and women who are for and with others, let us not lose sight that the phrase cura personalis also applies to ourselves. Physical and mental well being are integral to a healthy spirit and a discernment of faith. There are many people and support systems available on this campus, but it is essential that we as individuals are active in this process and seek out what we need to get through difficult times.
Please take advantage of the many resources Marquette has to offer.

ACTA and the Specter of Graduated Response
Annemarie Bridy
University of Idaho College of Law; Stanford University Center for Internet and Society
October 15, 2010
American University International Law Review, Vol. 26, No. 3, pp. 558-577, Fall 2011
PIJIP Research Paper No. 2
This article considers the evolution of ACTA's "digital environment" provisions in the context of concerns raised early in the negotiations that the agreement would require signatories to mandate graduated response regimes for online copyright enforcement (à la France's controversial HADOPI system). The Consolidated Text of ACTA released in October 2010, following the final round of negotiations in Japan, contains no provision mandating the adoption of graduated response. Such regimes are tacitly endorsed in the agreement, however, through language in the preamble and the digital environment provisions concerning the promotion of greater cooperation between rights owners and service providers. Moreover, opponents of graduated response should be wary of the fact that public law mechanisms — be they domestic or international — are not the only means by which graduated response can effectively become the law for Internet users. The United States and Ireland provide examples of the trend toward private ordering in the project of online copyright enforcement.

In Singapore / Malaysia, when we say "jia lut", it would mean that it is difficult and maybe in trouble now. The expression is believed to be originated from Hokkien. Literally, "jia' is a v.t i.e. "to eat" whereas. "lut" is "strength". So the combined expression would convey a state of "difficulty" or to a lesser extent " having some trouble now"
Wau lah, this time I am "jia lut" liao. My boss is going after me.

MCA - A Road to Recovery or Oblivion?
Technically, the party represents the Chinese community only in name. Leaders of the party are less revered and respected compared to their predecessors such as Tan Cheng Lock, Tan Siew Sin, Lee San Choon, Lim Chong Eu, Lim Ah Lek and others. Years of racial politics has taken its toll of all parties representing the minorities in BN. Most of them lost their respective community's support because they were seen as conceding too much to the dominant racial party, UMNO.
It is interesting what the new leadership has in store for the party when it celebrates the 60th anniversary of the party. There are several crucial issues confronting MCA.
First, there is an obvious lack of unity and clarity in the party's struggle. The ongoing rift between Ong Tee Keat and Chua Soi Lek is affecting the leadership's concentration on its renewal and revival process. More leaders have offered to mediate their differences. Some leaders such as Loh Seng Kok have asked for Chua to be given a second chance. He argued that the deputy president should be given a second chance as even ex-criminals are given a chance to serve the community after they have paid the penalty and turned over a new leaf.
This is precisely the problem. The party has given Chua a chance by appointing his son, Chua Tee Yong, to replace him as the MP of Labis. Chua wants another slice of the cake for himself and demanded to be made a minister and a senator after his successful election as the deputy president of the party. His repeated demands have annoyed his president. Chua should have focused his political continuity through his son who is a qualified accountant and a likable person.
Afterall, public perception is clearly not to his favour. A recent poll by Merdeka Center said 74 percent of the respondents cannot accept politicians with moral deficiency. Political parties such as MCA, Gerakan and MIC have continued to operate in their own space and are largely ignorant of public perception. Their leaders think that they are still popular as long as they can command the support of their party delegates. This is a crucial misconception. It was proven in the last general election where dominant party leaders were defeated in the general election.
Until and unless this tiff is resolved, the party will continue to be sidetracked on personal disputes which may actually invite both anti-Ong and anti-Chua factions to join in the fray. Already sparks can be seen in Selangor and Johor where some members are considering to call an EGM to table a no-confidence motion against Ong. The EGM may also be an end game for Chua. Based on current sentiments, it is remotely possible for the no-confidence motion to succeed. A defeat of the motion will set the relationship of the two leaders on the course of no return.
On the other hand, Ong should act more magnanimous. He was too quick to go for a kill and replace many key positions with his people. Those who are familiar with Ong's political career can understand his reaction. He was treated like an outsider before the last general election. His relationships with the last two presidents were not at their cordial best. Hence, there was a mistrust between him and several key generals in the party who were appointed by the previous administration.
Ong, an ardent student of Sun Tzu and classical Chinese history, should have tried to use a softer approach to win over the heart and mind of these generals. A number of these generals are not hardcore supporters of their ex-bosses. They can be incorporated to help reduce the possibility of faction building in the party. It would be better for Ong to keep them competitive for his endorsement and attention. This creates a natural check-and-balance system in the party especially for those who are keen to impress the president.
Second, the party has yet to identify which political path it should take. A number of its leaders argued that it is likely for MCA to stay communal as long as UMNO still exists. There is a critical flaw in the statement. While UMNO has obviously benefited from this racial arrangement and is able to utilize a number of race-affirmative policy tools to strengthen its position, MCA and other minority parties have to beg for small concessions. It is obvious that their partnership was not between equals.
As a result, the influence of MCA and other minority parties is contained and constrained by UMNO and its behaviour in the coalition. The power sharing and consensus driven relationship is further eroded after the last general election when MCA and other minority parties lost badly. Most of the key policy decisions, e.g. ban on the use of 'Allah', arbitrary use of ISA against civilians, toll hike, petrol price hike et cetera, are made solely by UMNO without any proper consultation with its partners. MCA, like the opposition parties, is reduced to merely voicing their dissatisfaction over the party-controlled media.
Hence, it is not wise for the party to hinge its political direction on UMNO. The latter is not going to change its direction and policy in the near future. Politically, UMNO is still the most dominant party in the country. It has created an impressive patronage system which includes the public institutions, monarchy, elites and legal coercive forces. This patronage system is not easily dismantled or defeated. Ironically, many Malaysians were naive enough to believe that Anwar Ibrahim was on the verge of bringing this whole system down through his grand defection plan. If the plan was anywhere close, UMNO would have reacted beyond just plotting the downfall of the Perak state government.
The whole point is while UMNO can afford to remain communal, the MCA will continue to pay a huge price for not being a competent communal player. It does not have any visible leverage against UMNO. The party can only play a second fiddle in the coalition at best. It will be reminded that it was a beneficiary of UMNO's support in the 15 parliamentary seats that it won. Despite losing more than half its parliamentary seats, it was still given the same number of cabinet positions. This is another area which UMNO will claim credit.
Here is where the dilemma lies. As long as MCA is seen to be supportive and protective of UMNO, the party will not be able to regain its lost ground. All the opposition parties need to do is avoid shooting their own foot. They might even be able to win the next general election by doing practically nothing and act totally the opposite of UMNO.
In this regard, the party should take a bold step to try to overhaul the coalition instead of waiting for UMNO. Its leaders should quickly stop placing all hopes on Najib Razak's leadership to do the trick. Najib's imminent leadership has not created any positive movement or reaction from the public. The only ones who are euphoric are BN leaders. Najib's low popularity score amongst the Chinese and Indian communities is not helpful to both MCA and MIC.
If MCA cannot talk UMNO to become more reasonable, to allow the public institutions to grow independent, to restore public's confidence in them, to respect the rule of law, to address corruption, to embrace all minorities as equals and to respect the status of all religions, the party should either leave the coalition, rebrand the party as a multiracial party or become strictly a business organisation.
The last option of leaving competitive politics may not be a bad choice for the party. It can use its business clout and connections to stem its influence in any government. It does not have to fear losing the support of the community or allow its fate to be dictated by another competitive communal party.
After 60 years, MCA should wake up to the fact that UMNO is not its natural partner. If PAS and DAP are odd bedfellows, both MCA and UMNO are competitors in a race-based coalition. History has proven that race-based political parties will come to a head-on if each is committed to protect and defend the interests of its own race. MCA and UMNO relationship is sustained only because the former was willing to accept a dominant partner and is willing to concede some key concessions to the latter.
MCA is celebrating its 60th anniversary as a political party in Malaysia. At this convention, it should reorient itself with the changing facets of Malaysian politics. Anything less than a total soul searching which includes a sincere and open assessment of its party's direction, sense of purpose and place in the political milieu will not help to change its fate.
MCA can redeem itself only by being truthful. Not even a Ong-Chua strong partnership can help the party although it might keep the party focused on the challenging tasks at hand.

You are right in dissecting the MCA dilemma.
It is a do or die situation. Either MCA wakes up from its slumber or remain sidelined in the coming PRU 13. Too much of in-house fighting from the days of Tan Koon Swan till now. That was almost 23 years plus of internal bickering & still continues until this present day.
Have the MCA leaders not been able to see the communal needs of the Chinese that they have to beg for support from UMNO? What is then holding them back to be a multi-racial party?
It boils down to "serve thyself" first type of attitude? Where on earth do you ever find any Msian politicians really serving the people who are their bosses? I will be lucky if I could find one, mine you ONE.
It is all for "myself" crusade that they are involved in politics!! Be realistic to admit this and this is a challenge to all these politicians to prove me wrong.
It zeroes down to " what do I get in return" for serving the rakyat? That is the saddest part of Msian politics which had been downgraded and hit its lowest ebb of no return.
Only God knows when this will change. Msian, by and large must wake up to tell these politicians to change or ship out. The message must be pin-pricking enough to mean business or Msia is doomed to be even worst than our neighbour Thailand where her politics is on the same level as ours.

MCA is already finished. Kaput. But its leaders still behave like dumb ostriches burying their heads in the sand thinking MCA will revive and banging everything on UMNO to do things right for MCA. Sad truth is UMNO will never do things right for MCA. UMNO wants MCA as window dressing to its communal policies. It gives MCA a few crumbs here and there, something which selfish MCA leaders want and don't mind selling the rights of the Chinese down the drain. But Chinese can already see through MCA's deceit and uselessness. Come next GE, Chinese will completely vote out the 15 MCA Mps and just like in Penang in 2008 GE, MCA will lose all its seats and cast into the dustbins of history. Chinese do not need lapdogs and lappigs of UMNO which MCA are happy to be. If angry people lynch UMNO when they get booted out of power at the centre in next GE, you can be sure they will also lynch all these MCA collaborators with UMNO.
MCA is linked to the underworld and kingpins in Malaysia....what can you expect of their moral....even the so called Justice Pao or Michael Chong went to the root to save and defend victims of ah longs. But do you know, he himself is one of those ah longs??

The MCA Perak form an illegal govt together with the BN UMNO is once again show how the MCA embarassing the Chinese Community!
MCA is not only a political beggar party. MCA is also a political robber party which does not respect the rule of law!
MCA Perak think that so long as they has an ADUN being appointed the EXCO post, this meant they can represent the Chinese community.
This show how naive their mentality!
good riddance to rubbish.
serving the community? ya, be guaranteeing RM4.7 billion to senior fellas from BN.
by rubbing salt on the wound, newly minted MCA head spend another couple of millions to engage an accounting firm to justify the fraud, a weak cover-up at best. To protect who? past presidents of MCA, UMNO and BN MPs?
Let me simply put it. MCA is the place for triads, crooks, corrupts and businessmen looking for a leg up. Nothing more except for a very very few who still believe in the struggles of humanity.
Well People,
If you have listened to what that Mah fella said, you lagi vomit. My parents eversince in the 80s has never touched MCA. In terms of the leaderships. It's gone to the dogs even during Tan Siew Sin's days. Remember what the Grand Old Man of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew said about MCA. MCA is a EUNUCH party.
Go ahead sue LKY on that message. I love to see the fun in Singapore. If LKY predicted it 40 years ago, Khoo's statement here is pretty redundant.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. I believe MCA is no longer even living by the sword. MCA deterioated since the last election and even the recent perak case. Good luck. Disband and join UMNO.
What recovery? what oblivion??
MCA already died long time ago. Must leave dead people in peace...no need talk about them..let them be..

IOWA CITY, Iowa - The Penn State Nittany Lion wrestling team dropped its first dual meet of the year, falling 22-16 at Iowa in a sold- out Carver-Hawkeye Arena Friday night.
The loss snapped a 20-dual win streak for the Nittany Lions, who fell to 8-1 overall. Iowa is now 16-1.
Iowa, ranked third in the nation, won six of 10 bouts, including three thrilling one-point decisions in the dual's key matchups.
A rematch of last year's NCAA title bout at 125 was the first bout of the night. Penn?State sophomore Nico Megaludis and Iowa senior Matt McDonough did not disappoint.
The duo battled to a 1-1 tie and through a sudden victory period before McDonough was able to ride Megaludis out and then escape in his tie-breaker period for a 2-1 win.
Tony Ramos then pinned Lion freshman Jordan Conaway, handing Conaway his first dual meet loss, to put Iowa up 9-0 early.
Iowa's Matt Ballweg, ranked No. 8 at 141, then posted a 12-2 major over Lion senior Bryan Pearsall, giving Iowa a 13-0 lead. Penn State sophomore Andrew Alton, ranked No. 8 at 149, put Penn State on the board with an 18-8 major over Iowa's Brody Grothus.
That was followed by the Lions' Dylan Alton, ranked No. 5 at 157, battling No. 1 Derek St. John. Like the 125-pound bout, the All-American duo did not disappoint. Alton took a lead midway through the second period and carried that lead into the third.
Alton looked to increase his lead late in the bout, but St. John was able to counter and get a late takedown to post a 4-3 win. The victory, Iowa's fourth in the first five, put the Hawkeyes up 16-4 at the halfway point.
The second half began with a bang for Penn State as All-American David Taylor, ranked No. 2 at 165, dominated No. 13 Nick Moore.
Taylor turned Moore three times in the first period alone and rolled to an 18-2 technical fall at the 6:42 mark.
Iowa won a third battle by a single point. This time, No. 6 Mike Evans used a late third-period counter takedown to down No. 4 Matt Brown at 174, putting the Hawkeyes up 19-9 with only three bouts left.
Penn?State began its comeback bid when all-American Ed Ruth, ranked No. 1 at 184, remained undefeated on the year with a dominating 21-10 major over Iowa's Grant Gambrall.
Fellow all-American teammate Quentin Wright, ranked No. 3 at 197, then pulled Penn State to within striking distance, picking up an 8-3 win over No. 19 Nathan Burak to cut the Iowa lead to 19-16.
In the dual's final bout, No. 6 Bobby Telford of Iowa stopped Penn State's comeback short with a 9-2 win over No. 17 Jon Gingrich at heavyweight.
Despite Iowa winning six of the 10 bouts, Penn State owned a 22-13 lead in takedowns.
Coach Cael?Sanderson's Nittany Lions will wrestle at No. 8 Illinois on Sunday at 2 p.m.
Their next home match is Sunday, Feb. 17, when Rider visits Rec Hall.
125 -- McDonough,?I, dec. Megadulis, 2-1. 133 -- Ramos, I, pinned Conaway, 4:23. 141 -- Ballweg, I, maj. dec. Pearsall, 12-2. 149 -- A. Alton, PSU, maj. dec. Grothus, 18-8. 157 -- St. John, I, dec.

Iscar has expanded its Helido Upfeed milling insert line to include diameters ranging from 1″ to 5″. The trigon-shaped, double-sided inserts offer six cutting edges and are designed for a 17-degree lead angle. This creates a cutting geometry that directs forces axially for more stability at high feed rates.
The inserts can accommodate chip loads of as much as 0.060″ per tooth. The inserts feature Sumo Tec coating, which reduces heat, friction and cutting forces and extends insert life by as much as 35 percent, the company says. A dovetail seat design ensures secure clamping. Integral shank end mills, tools with FlexFit threaded connections and face mills all accommodate the insert line. All of the tools can handle facing, ramping and plunging helical interpolation.

It's been nearly a week since Kanye West crashed her big moment at the Video Music Awards, but Taylor Swift has found a silver lining to all the drama.
"Artists that I didn't even assume knew who I was [have supported me]," Swift, 19, told Elvis Duran during an interview on his Z100 radio show Friday. "I woke up the next day and I had flowers in my hotel room from Janet Jackson."
"I am blown away by all the love that was thrown in my direction," she said, "and feel very lucky and blessed to have people come and support me like that." (West subsequently apologized to the singer.)
Kelly Clarkson, who penned an angry blog post directed at West, was among the teen star's most vocal supporters. "Kelly's amazing," Swift said. "I'd love to work with her. We should write a song together. I love how honest and real she is. She speaks her mind, and I think it's a beautiful thing."
Another celebrity on Swift's radar: Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner, who was rumored to have a crush on her.
"I'd be on Team Tay," she said. "I love him. He's so cute."

The three were in a group of five black men who allegedly confronted three white soldiers who were walking along Pacific Highway Southwest early Saturday.
During the confrontation, one of the white soldiers, 20-year-old Tevin Geike, was stabbed to death. The group of black men then fled the scene in a car.
Based on information developed during the investigation, Lt. Chris Lawler of the Lakewood police said it does not appear the stabbing was a hate crime. Everyone involved - the victim and suspects - are soldiers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, he said.
Detectives identified the three suspects after a soldier came forward Sunday and told his sergeant that another soldier in his unit, Jeremiah Hill, had asked for first aid for a knife wound on his right hand on Saturday afternoon. According to the soldier, Hill told him he cut his hand when he stabbed a man to death over the weekend, said Lawler.
The sergeant confronted Hill about this information, but Hill said he cut his hand while chopping vegetables. The other soldier ended up taking Hill to Madigan Hospital for treatment, where Hill told hospital staff he had slashed his hand cutting parachute cord.
Police then identified another person, a 21-year-old soldier, suspected of being involved in the crime and brought him in for an interview. The 21-year-old admitted to police that he was at the scene, Lawler said.
That soldier told detectives he was in a vehicle with four of his friends on Pacific Highway when words were exchanged between the men walking on the street and his friends in the car. He said they stopped to talk to the victims, but nothing happened once they discovered they were all active-duty soldiers.
As the suspects were walking back to their car, Hill appeared to "bear hug" the victim and pushed him to the ground. The soldier told police that Hill was covered in blood when he got into the car and they discovered he had stabbed the victim and cut himself, Lawler said.
The group fled the scene and disposed of the knife. Police have since recovered the weapon, Lawler said.
Another person in the group, a 19-year-old soldier, was later identified, and he corroborated the account given by the 21-year-old.
Detectives then attempted to interview Hill, but he would not make a statement and asked for a lawyer.
The other suspects were brought in for interviews and gave statements. The suspects' vehicle also was found and seized by detectives. The soldiers' barracks rooms were searched and several items of evidence were located, Lawler said.
The three suspects were arrested Monday morning and booked into Pierce County Jail for investigation of murder. The three were identified as Jeremiah Hill, 23; Cedarium Johnson, 21; and Ajoni Runnion-Bareford, 21.
Since the main suspect, Jeremiah Hill, did not make a statement, it is unknown exactly why he did this. But Lawler said that after interviewing everyone involved, it appears race was not a motivating factor in the homicide.
The suspects are all active-duty soldiers assigned to a combat infantry unit at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The victim, Geike, was an active-duty Lewis-McChord soldier assigned to a combat aviation unit.

Carrying on the theme from the previous post, wherein I displayed a fragment of displeasure at the folly of modern bike terminology - a travesty has come to my attention. I have now learned that something as simple as a skirtguard or a chainguard is hard to come by in many areas of North America.
Where on earth have they gone? Three or four generations ago they were standard issue on North American bikes. In Denmark and the Netherlands to this day, they are featured on every decent bike bought, like the lovely new bike in the photo above.
I dare say the "sport cycling" and "hobby cycling" industries have done their utmost to discard these very basic elements of a bike over the past half century. Away with these frivilous contraptions! We need to get the weight down! [but we don't know why... just believe us] and besides, lycra won't get caught in a chain! Ha!
Fret not, North American owners of stylish skirts and handsome longcoats. Until we raid the bike junkyards of Denmark and gather up a shipload of old chainguards and skirtguards to send across the ocean for free distribution among the cycle chic community, we have found this website for you - Quick & Easy Bicycle Skirt Guards. Or for inspiration, visit this chap, who appreciates that chainguards are to be considered art.
Indeed, a bike without a chainguard is like a Danish sausage without strong mustard. In the name of Odin... trousers were not invented to be rolled up and a pair of Louboutins are certainly not made better with a strip of oil splashed across a toned calf:

Why do we all do it to ourselves? We get so excited about our NUCBs and tell a couple people only to be disappointed by their reactions. It's not like I go screaming it from the mountaintops but it does come up with my family every so often and each time I find myself super annoyed!
I'm even apart of a fb group of women I befriended from another message board who I thought would be supportive and was unpleasantly surprised by their condescending "advice". I know I'm a FTM and they're BTDT but even a "I couldn't do it but I hope you can!" would suffice! Mind you, I wasn't even asking for advice! I was just excited that my Hypnobabies has finally left the states and should be here any day now.
I hate the "three heads" looks. I hate the condescending smiles and head shaking. I hate the "advice" to just get the epi. I hate when people say "Girl you'll be screaming for that medicine!" I hate when they suggest that because I'm naturally thin (I was a size 0-2 pre pregnancy) that I won't be able to to handle the pain. Most of all I hate when they laugh. OOOO that drives me nuts! I mentioned that I was working on a birth plan and my aunt laughed at me!! Mind you, my friggin doctor ASKED ME to do one! I even tried to explain that it's not "planning a birth" because that's impossible, but rather letting the staff know your preferences on medication, laboring techniques, post birth procedures etc and all she said was something about being in too much pain to care about that stuff.
I'm sorry to unload on you ladies but I just wish I had more support. My husband supports me 150% but no one else does. I feel like I'm constantly defending my choice when it comes up or trying to write it off as me being afraid of the epi (I have 0 fear of needles) or some other trivial reason other than the true reason; that I want what's best for me and my baby.
What's some of the "advice" you've gotten when sharing your birth plans?

This story could save a woman's life
March 19, 2013
For a split second, Helen Yee thought the guy who opened the passenger door of her car and slid in next to her was a neighbor. Then she saw his gun....
"He was suspicious after looking out the window"
This is how normal people behave marjorie. Instead of looking into others windows, try looking out, you may like it.
