Looking for Jaguar XJ8 Owners Manual?
Regardless of trim line, Jaguar's XJ is a beautiful car. It is stately without being stuffy, and the soft lines are uniquely Jaguar. The XJ8 continues the design theme set in 1986; Jaguar tried horizontal, contemporary-looking headlights in the 1980s, but they were so universally assailed that the company came back with round lights and they are critical to the overall look.
The Vanden Plas shares the longer wheelbase with the XJ8L, which is 117.9 inches. The standard XJ8 and the XJR ride on a 113-inch wheelbase. Visually, that wheelbase extension is reflected in the length of the rear windows.
The powertrain, suspension and electrical system are new to the sedan. Ford now owns Jaguar and has brought financial support and technology to the company, which has greatly benefited the XJ8. Electrical systems, electronics and other traditional Jaguar problem areas have been eliminated since Ford got involved.
The 4.0-liter V8 has double overhead-cams and four valves per cylinder. It produces 290 horsepower at 6100 rpm and 290 pound-feet of torque at 4250 rpm.
That impressive power is delivered to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. This electronically controlled automatic adapts to varying driving conditions; it senses whether the driver is cruising along the highway, hot-footing down a back road or climbing a long grade and it varies shift points accordingly for optimum power and efficiency. The transmission also has a self-regulating adaptive capability; it compensates automatically for the effects of aging by adjusting shift quality based on any slippage it detects. Sport and standard modes can be selected by the driver: The standard PRNDL pattern can be used, or shifts can be made manually by moving the stick to the left.
Automatic Stability Control comes standard on all Jaguars. ASC operates at all speeds, using engine intervention to reduce wheel spin on slippery roads. If a rear wheel starts to spin, the anti-lock brake (ABS) controller signals a computer, which controls the spinning by reducing throttle, retarding ignition timing or cutting fuel to the cylinders.

Testing the Top Five Car Insurance Myths
|Email Print
When I first started driving, I was amazed at how much car insurance cost. I, like many other newly-minted drivers clutching our licenses, was put on my parents' car insurance policy, which I'm sure made my parents nervous, and didn't really feel the full brunt of new-driver-car-insurance-rates. However, when I finally left the nest and had to insure myself, I finally started hoping that 25 would come sooner because everyone says that car insurance rates drop significantly after you turn 25. (I spent all my <21 years waiting to be 21, then my <25 years waiting to be 25... now I'm waiting for retirement... the waiting never ends!) A few years ago, when I turned twenty-five, I had a great opportunity to test a few car insurance myths empirically and I'm happy to report the 25 year old rate drop myth is in fact very true.
Myth #1: Rates Drop Significantly After 25
This myth is true.
I requested car insurance quotes before I turned 25 and after I turned 25. The results were a little mixed but Geico, my current car insurance company, dropped my rate by about 15% after I turned 25. However, in each year after my 25th birthday, my insurance rates have been going down by a significant amount as well. While there were other factors involved (perhaps Maryland drivers became cheaper to insure, I hadn't gotten into any accidents, etc), I believe each year after 25 is marked with lower premiums as long as you stay out of trouble. It just so happens that 25 is the first of the big drops, which explains its top billing.
Myth #2: Married Couples Pay Less Insurance
This myth is true, but probably not for the reason you expected.
The logic behind this myth is that once the male in the married couple gets married, he's a safer driver and thus cheaper to insure. However, when I got married earlier this year (and told Geico), our rates dropped more so because there was a safer driver listed on my account. When I added my wife as a driver, the average riskiness of the driver went down and thus the premiums went down. In fact, I couldn't even indicate marital status in my profile… they didn't care. (there is also a component of the multi-car discount mixed in but I added her as a driver before I added her car)
Myth #3: Females Pay Lower Pemiums
This myth is true.
All other characteristics being equal, a female paid 18.8% less than a male in my car insurance quote study. The logic, on the part of insurance companies, behind this is that women are safer drivers and that men are reckless. Is that true? Who knows, but male drivers pay their premiums as if it were true!
(Odd factoid: Going to college lowers your premiums by about 7%, though it's something that I doubt any company will verify, but don't go too far… a Ph.D or an M.S. won't give you more of a discount over B.S.)
Myth #4: Comprehensive Claims Don't Affect Premiums
This myth is partially false.
Finally, a somewhat false myth! Conventional wisdom states that if you file a comprehensive claim, your insurer won't increase your premiums. That part of the myth is true. The part that's false is that if you ever leave that insurer, the new insurance company will charge you higher premiums for coverage. Is that fair? Probably not, but that's how it works. In my car insurance quote study (near the end), I found that a vandalism claim increased rates by 8% and a vehicle theft or loss of belongings totaling more than $10k was a nearly 14% increase.
Myth #5: Your Credit Score Affects Your Premiums
This myth is true.
You might be wondering, why the heck does my credit score affect my car insurance premiums? The answer is more subtle than you might think. The reality is that not every claimable event is claimed (how many times have you been in an accident and someone pleaded to keep the insurance company out of it?) and insurance companies realize this. So they not only want safe drivers but also those who aren't going to submit claims – a higher credit score usually indicates more sound financial footing, thus more money to pay for expenses out of pocket. Sneaky huh!?

It all comes down to one race if you're sitting second in one of three classifications at Route 66 Motor Speedway.
The final races of the season begin at 6:30 tonight.
Matt McNatt (cyclones), Dustin Spohn (street stocks) and Doug Gillespie (modifieds) are first in hotly contested races.
McNatt has a 16-point lead on teenager Seth Pruett, while Spohn sped by black-flagged Jimmy Johnson last week and has a 16-point lead over Johnson.
Modifieds held pat while 40 drivers last Saturday raced for a $4,000 prize.
Gillespie has a two-point lead over Gene Weaver and a 28-point lead over Dee Gossett, who won the big pot of cash.
The only driver who can breathe easy is Kenny Purkey, who leads super stocks by 62 points over No. 2 Chad Austin. Austin cannot catch Purkey.
"No stress," said Purkey, who has won three A-Main races this year, including his first in super stocks his second Saturday out in the No. 0 car.
What may have separated Purkey from Austin was the night that Purkey won and another driver was behind the wheel of Austin's No. 4 car because Austin was best man in a friend's wedding. Purkey gained 40 points on his rival.
Purkey was track champion in street stocks in 2003 and runnerup in super stocks in 2004.
He did not race the next two summers.
"Slow and steady, that was our goal this year. My pit man, David Callen, and I thought we might try for a championship," Purkey said.
He may take off a year to catch up some "honey-do's," he said, before moving into sport modifieds.

of stitches along right side of heel flap as you did on left side; knit remaining heel stitches. Knit one complete round.

MOBILE, Alabama -- For the second time this month, a
man was shot in the downtown entertainment district this morning, again within sight of the area's police precinct.
No arrests had been made as of this evening.
Mobile police spokeswoman Ashley Rains said the unidentified 20-year-old man was shot in the lower back after what she described as an altercation at Dauphin and Jackson streets.
The victim was taken to University of South Alabama Medical Center for injuries Rains said were not life threatening. She did not say how many people were involved in the fight that led to the shooting, and the motive for the incident was not released.
The Mobile police downtown precinct is at Dauphin and Claiborne streets, about a block west of the shooting scene near the northeast corner of Cathedral Square.
Early in the morning of July 5, a brawl broke out in a parking lot at St. Francis and Claiborne streets after a large crowd of teenagers gathered in the parking lot. A teenager was grazed in the face by a gunshot, and a 17-year-old was later arrested on a second-degree assault charge.
The incident took place within sight of the police precinct's back door after hundreds of teens left a dance party at The Temple Downtown, which is just west of the parking lot.
The July 5 incident renewed calls for a teen curfew in Mobile, and Mayor Sam Jones has said that a proposed curfew will be presented to the Mobile City Council at an upcoming meeting.

We stayed very well in Athens: the apartment is so nice and my family (I, my wife and two daughters enjoyed itself very much. It's in a quiet and residential area and you're near by metro station (if you want, you can go by feet in the centre). If you want to have dinner or lunch at home there are all you need (and a supermarket nearby) and if you're tired and want to eat out there are restaurants and take away.
We are advising it.
My wife, two daughters (6 and 8) and I stayed in Helena's apartment, near the Hilton Hotel, for 4 nights. It is a very convenient apartment, with an excellent cost/value ratio, and close to two metro stations. The space was enough for us, everything was clean and wile it was quite hot outside, the temperature in the apartment was good even without air conditioning. We could not make a better choice.
it has been a beautiful experience in a lovely town. Helena has given full support from our arrival to our departure. the flat is nice, clean, with all facilities and, most important, very well located to visit Athens.
Nice little apartment for 3. Equipped with the most necessary. Nice close to the subway. Close to the sights. It's okay that this lies partly in the basement, but this should be in the description. Happy to recommend the apartment and look forward to return.
Fin lille lejlighed til 3. Udstyret med det mest nødvendige. Dejlig tæt på metroen. Tæt på seværdighederne. Det er i orden, at det ligger delvist i kælderen, men dette bør stå i beskrivelsen. Anbefaler gerne lejligheden og kommer gerne igen.
We enjoyed a lot our stay. Chryssa was so kind with us when we arrived. The house was nice and near to the city centre.
The stay at Helena's flat was great. We felt welcome and received prompt replies to our questions and requests. Everything is according to the description and the accomodation is equipped with all the things one possibly needs. The neighborhood is safe and several restaurants, cafes and supermarkets are just around the corner. It takes not more than 5 minutes to the subway and all the touristic sites can be reached within two or three stops. I can recommend the accomodation and would stay their again.
Nothing to say, everything was perfect!
The location of the apartment is very convenient when you come for a conference, it is right next to the Hilton.
The very warm welcome, pleasant apartment, quality service.
Rien a dire , tout était parfait !
L'emplacement de l'appartement est très pratique lorsque vous venez pour un congrès ,il est juste à côté du Hilton .
L'accueil très cordial , appartement agréable , prestation de qualité .
agréable.t apartment in a neighborhood near the metro and shops. The apartment itself is a little disappointing. Located in the semi basement, there is little light. If you go over the winter months, be sure to stay well covered at night as the air conditioning malfunctioned. The washing machine seems to be there only for decoration and it lacks a space for lunch (no functional table for more than 2 people). However, the apartment is clean and adequate bedding. Good rental if you spend little time in the day. The transfer airport / apartment is well organized. Special mention to our driver Marietta, a pearl.
appartement dans un quartier agréable.t proche du metro et commerces. L'appartement en lui même est un peu décevant. Situé en demi sous sol , il est peu lumineux. Si vous partez sur les mois d'hiver, veillez à rester bien couverts la nuit car l'air conditionné fonctionne mal. Le lave linge semble n'être là que pour la déco et il manque un espace pour déjeuner (pas de table fonctionnelle pour plus de 2 personnes). Cependant, l'appartement est propre et la literie convenable. Bonne location si vous y passez peu de temps dans la journée. Le transfert aéroport/appartement est bien organisé. Mention spéciale à notre chauffeur Marietta, une perle.
We had a good stay in Athens. There are some very strong points and some points for improvement for this accommodation. Overall, I will stay here again in future.
1. Good and very safe location. Just opposite a small park on the main road. Syntagma Square is 20 minutes by walking, or 2 metro stops. Metro station is 5 to 7 minutes away. Bus stop is just outside the apartment.
2. Overall, clean apartment reasonably working appliances.
3. The land lady's mother - Maria greeted us at the apartment. Nice welcome, helpful nature. Spoke good English.
4. Enough street parking only a block away (two streets behind the apartment), if you are planning to have a car to explore the areas outside Athens. You don't need a car to go to Athens center.
Points to improve:
1. There is no toaster in the apartment. There is one sandwich toaster, which doesn't lock properly.
2. The washing machine has all the labels in Greek. It will be helpful if an English operating manual is provided (or a quick operating instruction is given).
3. Water heater (boiler) is a bit weak. Instruction is to switch it off before going to the shower and heat up the water again before the next person goes to shower. Water gets cold quickly, especially if you are last person to go to the shower. I visited in December, but I assume that this is not a problem in spring or summer.
4. Air conditioning in the main room only (which is also a room heater). In the cold season, bedroom room remains a bit cold.
5. There is no instruction given about the public transport. I missed a quick information such as name and location of the nearest metro as well as bus station, how to go to center and different places, a sketch of the area etc. Greeks are friendly and helpful people, so you will find this out by asking people on the street, but it will be easier if the information is provided upfront.
Conclusion: Good and helpful people, good and safe location, reasonably good apartment (a bit old) with all the apparatus. Good value for the money. Will consider to stay there again.
Hola. he estado con mi marido y mis dos hijos 5 noches en este apartamento y me gustaría compartir que la cocina estaba bien para cocina, aunque muy poco equipada( y cada vaso y plato distinto, lo que va quedando), la cama de matrimonio era confortable, pero el apartamento está muy anticuado. El baño es oscuro, destartalado. con la puerta que no cierra, la bañera que no traga el agua... bueno un desastre. En todo el tiempo que estuvimos no nos cambiaron las toallas ni las sábanas y en general , todo estaba muy descuidado. Creo que la propietaria debería reformarlo un poco para alquilarlo en mejores condiciones

Hi everyone! My mommy is REALLY tired this morning (I am typing this on Sunday) so I thought I would help her and Mindy out by posting what I have been up to.
Did Mommy tell you that I rolled over last week? And that I haven't done it since? hee hee. I love teasing her and Daddy.
So, I want to tell you about our morning on Sunday….
Mommy's alarm goes off at 4am every morning to make sure I eat enough so I keep getting big and strong.
Here's what's happened the rest of the morning as near as I can remember:
4:30 – bottle done, and Mommy snuggles back hoping I will sleep a bit more
4:35 – Ooooh. Kicking. I love to kick. Daddy fell asleep on the couch and I am laying next to Mommy. Kicking is SOOOO much fun. Who needs blankets on them? Mommy's arm is fun to kick! So is her stomach! Kick kick kick.
4:40 – Why is mommy sighing like that? She is muttering something about sleep. Who needs to sleep when you can KICK?
4:50 – Wow….I love making these loud screams! I'm not crying. I'm not unhappy. I just love to shriek! It's so much fun! Mommy is really sighing now.
5:00 – Why does Mommy keep trying to give me my pacifier? I don't want it. I can't SHRIEK with a pacifier in my mouth!
5:05 – Mommy is now watching Law & Order: SVU. I don't find that very interesting. I prefer to kick and talk and play. I wish she would quit staring at Christopher Meloni. I am WAY more fun. Look at me mommy! I can KICK and SHRIEK and grab your hair!
5:15 – I love my pacifier strap. Mommy puts my paci on a strap so I don't lose it. And it's a lot of fun. I can hold my paci and throw it and it doesn't go very far! I can do it over and over and over!
5:30 – Mommy is really sighing now. It's not my fault her head is in the area of where I throw the paci. This is FUN FUN FUN
5:45 – I don't know why Mommy is saying stuff under her breath about me being just like my Daddy.
6:00 – I just fooled Mommy! I took my paci and got quiet for just a few minutes. But HAH! SHRIEK!!!! WAKE UP MOMMY!!!!
6:05 – Mommy is now complaining about there being nothing on tv at 6am on a Sunday. I think I shall just continue to sit here and kick.
6:30 – OK, Now I'm tired….will just take my paci for a few minutes and….
p.s. – Sophie – Hey cutie! (wink wink)

Star-Ledger staff writer Paul Needell takes a look back at some of the interesting storylines that emerged from Week 10 in the NFL:
Why did the Vikings' win over the Packers defy normal logic?
For one, Minnesota committed three turnovers -- three INTs by QB Gus Frerotte -- to none by Green Bay. That is not supposed to result in a 28-27 win. Then again, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers gave up four points on a pair of first-half safeties, including one on a sack by Vikings DE Jared Allen. Two safeties in a half? That hasn't occurred in, like, forever (actually, Sept. 8. 1996). The Vikes took the lead with 2:22 left on RB Adrian Peterson's 29-yard TD jaunt. The Packers also returned an INT for a TD for the sixth time this season, while the Vikings allowed their sixth special teams TD return. You just never know in this league.
What had to make Eli Manning smile to himself as he watched the day's highlights?
The sight of animated Saints QB Drew Brees (31-58, 422 yards, 2 TDs, 3 INTs) giving ex-Giants TE Jeremy Shockey (2 catches, 16 yards) a piece of his mind during a sideline discussion. Such is life when the stunningly good Falcons (6-3) are whipping your butts at the Georgia Dome. Rookie QB Matt Ryan (16-23, 248 yards, 2 TDs), RB Michael Turner (96 yards, 1 TD) and DE John Abraham (11th sack) are now a startling 6-3. This has become so matter-of-fact for Ryan he's not even our "Rookie of the Week."
Who won the battle of rookie running backs, the Bears' Matt Forte or Titans' Chris Johnson?
Hmm. Well, guess you'd have to say Forte, Chicago's second-round pick from Tulane, won the battle but Johnson, Tennessee's first-rounder from East Carolina, won the war. Or at least the undefeated Titans did. Let us explain: Forte rushed for 72 yards and caught seven passes for another 54 yards, including a 5-yard TD to give Da Bears an early 7-0 lead. Johnson did zilch, held to 8 yards on 14 carries. Repeat: 8 yards on 14 carries! So, how did they win the war? See the AFC for details.
Vikings RB Adrian Peterson
Okay, so he fumbled on a key fourth-down try. He more than made up for it by rushing for 192 yards on 30 carries, including the game-winning TD.
Falcons CB Chevis Jackson
The Saints seemed to be moving in for a fourth-quarter TD to close to within seven points when the third-round pick from LSU returned a Drew Brees INT 95 yards for his first NFL TD. Oh, yeah, it was Jackson's first pick, too.
Can we now say Titans QB Kerry Collins is more than just a "game manager?"
Our old friend with the Giants answered critics who claim he's simply been along for the ride for Tennessee. The offense, which had protected him by averaging 149.1 yards in its first eight games, rushed for a teeny, tiny 20 yards on 29 tries at Soldier Field. No worries, though, because Collins (30-41, 289 yards, 2 TDs) was more than up to the task of bailing out his 9-0 teammates. Still headed for that collision with the winless Lions on Thanksgiving. Mmm-mmm good!
Speaking of the Lions, how did they do?
Nothing like a little taste of Detroit to get the angry Jaguars back on track for a week. The day began with Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio making co-captain/LB Mike Peterson inactive for the game. This after sending Peterson home Wednesday and Thursday for giving Del Rio some lip in a team meeting. You could say the 4-5 Jags finally responded. RB Maurice Jones-Drew ran for three TDs in the first half and QB David Garrard (18-25. 238 yards, 2 TDs) had all kinds of fun. Lions QB Daunte Culpepper? His second pass since unretiring last week was picked off by CB Rashean Mathis. Welcome to winless-ville.
Who says Bill Parcells isn't coaching the Dolphins some?
Yeah, yeah. We know Miami's executive VP of football operations is leaving the X's and O's to coach Tony Sparano. But that 39-yard TD pass QB Chad Pennington threw to WR Ted Ginn Jr. in the win over the Seahawks looked awfully familiar to any Giants fan worth his Phil Simms jersey. Pennington handed off to RB Ronnie Brown, who stepped toward the line only to turn back and lateral to Chadwick for the strike to a streaking Ginn. Much like the big completion Simms threw to WR Phil McConkey after first handing off to RB Joe Morris in Super Bowl XXI. Remember?
Chiefs QB Tyler Thigpen
The second-year man from Coastal Carolina completed 27 of 41 for 266 yards and three TDs, including the 3-yard to TE Tony Gonzalez to make it 20-19 Chargers with 23 seconds left. Bravo to coach Herman Edwards for going against form and going for the rare win right there. Alas, Thigpen's 2-point conversion pass was incomplete for the 1-8 Chiefs.
Dolphins RB Ricky Williams
The man had his first 100-yard game in almost three years (Jan. 1, 2006, to be precise). His 105 yards on 12 carries included a 51-yard TD out of the "Wildcat" formation, with RB Ronnie Brown executing the hand-off.
Ravens QB Joe Flacco
Audubon's own continues to match Matt Ryan win for win. Flacco completed 15 of 23 for 185 yards and two TDs in the romp in Houston. He was aided by 112 yards and two TDs by RB Willis McGahee and four INTs by QB Sage Rosenfels -- two by LB Ray Lewis.

How are you installing the font (and for this, please mention the platform)?
Hi everybody,
I'm driving crazy with this issue. I can get Myriad Pro - Regular to print from MS Word or any other MS Office program. But I can print other .otf fonts from those applications. What might be happening. I already tried in different computers and printers (laser and ink jet), but nothing make that font to be printed through MS Word. The font is perfectly printed from any Adobe application, but I really need it to be printed from MS Word.
I would really appreciate if someone could give me a help on this.
Thanks in advance.
How are you installing the font (and for this, please mention the platform)?
Sorry about the lack of information.
Windows XP SP2, already tried in different MS Word version and different computers. I simply copy and paste the font file to the /windows/fonts folder.
It's a very strange issue indeed.
Thanks for your time.
Please give versions of the specific applications in question, and let us know if this is an issue with just Myriad, or with other fonts as well. Could it be that this font is installed in a different location than your other fonts? Do you have a duplicate installation of the same font?
Word 2003 part of the Microsoft Office Professional edition 2003.
That particular font and the others I've tested (.ttf and .otf) are in the same location: Windows/Fonts folder. But only Myriad Pro dont print under MS Office applications. The others print fine (.otf and .ttf).
I looked and I dont have a duplicate of that font. Only variants, like Myriad Pro Bold, Myriad Pro Bold Condensed, ...
My brother just made to print this font, he was using office 2003 sp2. I will try to update my office to sp2 and see what happens.
You shouldn't cut and paste fonts into the font folder. Use the menu item install instead.
To elaborate on what Don said:
Windows doesn't actually look in the Fonts folder to find its fonts.
(In fact, when you look at the fonts folder with Windows explorer
you're NOT seeing what's physically in the folder! You're seeing an
interpretation of a registry entry!)
Windows looks in the registry to find where the fonts are actually
located. If CS3 or one of its components (Illustrator is a likely
culprit) installed Myriad somewhere else, the system would look
something like this:
Myriad.otf - Myriad=Illustrator Folder
Then, if you CUT and PASTE, you're left with
- Myriad.otf Myriad=Illustrator Folder
So Windows can no longer find the font file. Adobe products are
non-standard (usually for the better!) and use their own techniques
for finding fonts.
- Herb
I just printed a page of Myriad pro using word 2007, and it worked fine. Must be your font manager.
Yes I think it it is. I will upgrade my office suite to the latest service pack SP3 and see what happens.
Thanks for all your time and knowledge on this issue.

CLINTON — Unity Bancorp, parent of Unity Bank, reported net income of $509,000 or 7 cents a share for the quarter ended March 31, compared with a net loss of $164,000 or 2 cents a share for the same period in 2011.
James Hughes, president and CEO, said, "The continued improvement in our operating results is the result of our strategic initiatives. We have reduced the portfolio of loans outside our footprint, expanded our in-market business relationships and further reduced our cost of funds."
Unity, based here, opened its 15th branch, in Washington Township (Warren) in March.
The sustained low interest rate environment has resulted in a "tighter net interest margin as our earning assets continue to re-price at lower rates," he said.
"Partially offsetting these declines are lower funding costs. However, as the bank has been steadily reducing rates on its deposit products, the reduction in yield on earning assets is anticipated to exceed the benefits of further declines in the cost of funds."
Non-performing assets declined from the prior year as Unity "was successful in liquidating bank-owned properties," Hughes reported. "Non-performing assets are down 10.2 percent from a year ago and there has been a reduction in our problem accounts from the prior year, and I expect this trend to continue. We are now well into the litigation process with our workout credits, and as a result, I expect that we will begin to see a predictable reduction in nonperforming assets in the future."
The non-performing assets totaled $23.8 million on March 31, 4.08% of total loans and other real estate owned, compared to $25.8 million or 4.33% of total loans and OREO at year-end 2011.
Unity has offices in Hunterdon, Middlesex, Somerset, Union and Warren counties in New Jersey and Northampton County, Pa.

It was the kind of pitching experience that might make some guys, forever and ever, switch to another position. Or even to a different sport.
A few years ago, while playing in one of the 21st Ward League's many in-house groupings, Ray Guinther surrendered two grand slams and another home run in the very same inning!
"It all happened in not too long a period of time," he said. "There were some errors mixed in, but mostly they just kept hitting the ball. After it's all over, you really just have to laugh. Like, 'Wow, I did do that bad?!'

BACKGROUND: It is often difficult to correctly place nasogastric (NG) tubes under anesthesia. We hypothesized that simple modifications in technique of NG tube insertion will improve the success rate.
METHODS: Two hundred patients were enrolled into the study. The patients were randomized into four groups: control, guidewire, slit endotracheal tube, and neck flexion with lateral neck pressure. The starting point of the procedure was the time when NG tube insertion was begun through the selected nostril. The end point was the time when there was either a successful insertion of the NG tube or a failure after two attempts. The success rate of the technique, duration of insertion procedure, and the occurrence of complications (bleeding, coiling, kinking, and knotting, etc.) were noted. χ2, analysis of variance, and Student's t-test were used to analyze the data.
RESULTS: Success rates were higher in all intervention groups compared with the control group. The time necessary to insert the NG tube was significantly longer in the slit endotracheal tube group. Kinking of the NG tube and bleeding were the most common complications.
CONCLUSION: The success rate of NG tube insertion can be increased by using a ureteral guidewire as stylet, a slit endotracheal tube as an introducer, or head flexion with lateral neck pressure. Head flexion with lateral neck pressure is the easiest technique that has a high success rate and fewest complications.
The insertion of a nasogastric (NG) tube in anesthetized, paralyzed, and intubated or unconscious patients may be difficult, with reported failure rates of nearly 50% on the first attempt with the head in neutral position.1–3 After a failure, subsequent attempts are usually unsuccessful due to coiling, kinking, or knotting of the NG tube as it loses stiffness due to warming to body temperature. The memory effect also contributes to subsequent failures; once kinked, the NG tube is subsequently more likely to kink at the same place. The most common sites of impaction of the NG tube are piriform sinuses and the arytenoid cartilage.4 Maneuvers to keep the NG tube along the lateral or posterior pharyngeal wall during insertion encourages the smooth passage into the esophagus.1,2,5 Common methods used to facilitate NG tube insertion include the use of a slit endotracheal tube, forward displacement of the larynx and the use of various forceps, the use of an ureteral guidewire as a stylet, head flexion, lateral neck pressure, and the use of a gloved finger to steer the NG tube after impaction.2,6–8 Neck flexion, in combination with the curve of the NG tube, tends to keep the tube in close proximity to the posterior pharyngeal wall, facilitating its smooth passage into the esophagus.2 The ureteral guidewire imparts stiffness to the NG tube by acting as a stylet and preventing kinking.
We hypothesized that slight modifications in NG tube insertion technique would improve the rate of successful insertion. We compared three techniques to the common method of NG insertion to determine the success rate, average time for insertion, and incidence of complications, such as bleeding, coiling, knotting, and kinking.
Hospital Ethical committee approval was obtained, and a valid written informed consent was obtained from each patient. Patients younger than 20 yr and older than 70 yr were excluded from the study. Two hundred patients were enrolled in the study. All patients received general anesthesia and tracheal intubation for various surgical procedures that required NG tube insertion.
After induction of general anesthesia and tracheal intubation, the patients were randomly allocated into four groups according to a computer-generated randomization order. In the control group (Group C), patients had a lubricated NG tube inserted gently through the selected nostril, the head being maintained in the neutral position. The guidewire group (Group W) made use of a ureteral guidewire that was introduced within a 14-F NG tube until the tip of the guidewire was at the tip of the NG tube. Tube insertion was then performed in the same manner as described for the control group. In the slit tracheal tube (TT) group (Group S), the NG tube was inserted through the selected nostril and taken out through the mouth, leaving at least 10 cm of NG tube at the nostril. It was then passed through a longitudinally cut 7.0-mm internal diameter polyvinyl chloride TT, so that the tip of the NG tube was at the level of the Murphy eye of the TT. The TT was lubricated generously and was then inserted blindly into the oral cavity to a depth of 18 cm and the NG tube advanced further. The NG tube was then freed from the cut TT, and the cut TT was removed and the rest of the NG tube passed into the esophagus and was then fixed at the required length by pulling out through the nostril. In the neck flexion with lateral pressure group (Group F), a lubricated NG tube was inserted through the selected nostril to a depth of 10 cm. The patient's neck was flexed, lateral neck pressure was applied, and the NG tube was advanced in a similar manner to that described for Group C.
Preoperatively, the nostril to be used for NG tube insertion was chosen based on two criteria: the amount of fogging produced on a metal tongue depressor during exhalation and the relative size of the nostril. In all patient groups, a 14F, 105-cm NG tube with lead markings at the distal end was used.
NG tube insertion was performed by a group of four third-year anesthesia residents (to avoid operator bias the authors did not perform NG tube insertions). These residents were all judged to be proficient in the techniques described. They were assigned patients according to a computer-generated randomization schedule. The procedure start time was defined when the NG tube insertion was begun through the selected nostril. The procedure end time was defined as the time of successful insertion of NG tube or the time after two failed attempts. The procedure duration was measured with a stopwatch. Successful NG tube insertion was confirmed when the tube passed smoothly and a gurgling sound was heard on auscultation over the epigastrium when injecting 10 cc of air through the NG tube.
If the first attempt failed, the NG tube was withdrawn fully and was cleaned. Lubricating jelly was applied generously, and the procedure was repeated using the same technique. If both attempts at insertion using the selected technique were unsuccessful, then the technique was considered a failure. The NG tube was then inserted with the help of Magill forceps during a direct laryngoscopy.
The following data were collected:
1. Success rate of the selected technique—first, second attempt, and overall.
2. Number of attempts for successful insertion.
3. Duration of insertion using the selected technique.
4. Complications during insertion—kinking, knotting, and bleeding.
An unpublished pilot study of 12 cases per group suggested an approximate 20% improvement (from base rate of 65% to 85%) in success rate using these techniques. Consequently, a power calculation (α = 0.05 and β = 0.2) indicated a minimum of 46 patients for each group using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. Continuous data are presented as mean ± sd; categorical data are presented as frequency and percentage. Demographic data were analyzed by Pearson's χ2 test. The time necessary to insert the NG tube in each group was compared using ANOVA test. The complication rates during insertion of NG tubes in all four groups were compared using ANOVA for multiple variables. A value of P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
There were no statistically significant differences in the demographic data (age and gender) of the four patient groups. In Group C, successful NG tube insertion was achieved in 36 patients (72%) (Fig. 1). The success rates of NG insertion were greater in Groups W, S, and F: 46 patients (92%, P = 0.011), 46 patients (92%, P = 0.011), and 47 patients (92%, P = 0.004), respectively. In Group C, 17 patients (34%) had a NG tube placed successfully on the first attempt and 19 patients (38%) on the second attempt (Fig. 1). In Group W, 33 patients (66%) had a NG tube placed successfully on the first attempt and 13 patients (26%) on the second attempt (P = 0.002 compared with Group C). In Group S, 41 patients (82%) had a NG tube placed successfully on the first attempt and five patients (10%) on the second attempt (P = 0.0006 compared with Group C). In Group F, 41 patients (82%) had a NG tube placed successfully on the first attempt and six patients (12%) on the second attempt (P = 0.0006 compared with Group C).
Total NG tube insertion time was 56 ± 36 s in Group C. This time was significantly longer in Group S (98 ± 43 s) and significantly shorter in Group F (31 ± 19 s). Group W time (42 ± 29 s) was not statistically different from Group C.
The most common complication in Group C was kinking of the NG tube, which occurred in 10 patients (20%); knotting occurred in one patient (2%) (Table 1). In Group W, the NG tube became kinked in four patients (8%) (P = NS), and knotting occurred in one patient (2%) (P = NS versus Group C). In Group S, 11 patients (22%) developed bleeding during NG tube insertion, significantly more frequently than in Group C; in one patient, the NG tube could not be freed from the slit TT, and the whole assembly had to be removed (complication classified as "other"). In Group F, four patients (8%) developed kinks during insertion of the NG tube (P = NS versus Group C).
Insertion of the NG tubes in anesthetized and intubated patients has an average failure rate of nearly 50% on the first attempt with the patient's head in neutral position.2 The piriform sinuses and arytenoid cartilages are the most common sites of impaction.4 Maneuvers to avoid impaction on these structures include insertion of the NG tube along the posterior or lateral pharyngeal wall, by head flexion and lateral neck pressure, or by turning the head to one side.1,5 Other methods to facilitate NG tube insertion include the use of an ureteral guidewire or cooling the NG tube to stiffen it,9 the use of a slit-TT as a conduit,7 the use of a guitar wire as a stylet,10 endoscopic placement, or the use of various endoscopic forceps and lifting the thyroid cartilage.
We observed a success rate of 34% in Group C on the first attempt, which was significantly lower compared with the success rates of the ureteral guidewire (66%), slit endotracheal tube (82%), and head flexion with lateral neck pressure (82%) groups, confirming that the latter procedures increase the success rate. A ureteral guidewire helps to reduce the flexibility of the NG tube, whereas a slit TT, which is resistant to kinking, directs the NG tube into the esophagus. Head flexion and lateral neck pressure help keep the NG tube along the lateral and posterior pharyngeal wall, thereby facilitating passage into the esophagus.
Ratzlaff et al.11 found that the degree of NG tube flexibility significantly affected the ease with which the NG tube was inserted and also reported that the rigid tubes required fewer insertion attempts. However, as the NG tube rigidity increases, the incidence of trauma also increases, with a subsequent increase in the incidence of bleeding.10,11 We used an ureteral guidewire (6F) to decrease the flexibility of the NG tube and found that insertion was successful in 92% of patients compared with a 72% success rate in Group C.
In Groups C and W, the time required for insertion was 56 ± 36 s and 42 ± 29 s, respectively; Group S had a longer insertion time. In Group F, the insertion time (31 ± 19 s) was significantly shorter than Group C's insertion time. Among the four groups, the Group F had the shortest time to insertion whereas the Group S had the longest time. Matsuki and Zsigmond10 used guitar strings to facilitate NG tube insertion but reported a few cases of bleeding. In our study of 200 patients, 32 (16%) developed complications. The most common complications were kinking of the NG tube, knotting of the NG tube, and bleeding. We observed that of the 32 complications, 18 (56%) were due to kinking, which underscored the importance of reducing flexibility to improve the success of NG tube insertion. Decreased flexibility can be accomplished by using the ureteral guidewire as a stylet. However, bleeding was a frequent complication in the slit TT group: 11 of 50 (22%) patients experienced bleeding. The frequent incidence could be attributed to a technique that involves insertion of an additional TT into the oral cavity in an already intubated patient. This complication was evident in the patient in whom the slit TT could not be withdrawn while keeping the NG tube in place, such that the entire assembly had to be removed with great difficulty.
The success rate of NG tube insertion can be increased by using an ureteral guidewire as a stylet, a slit TT as an introducer, or keeping the head flexed while applying lateral neck pressure. The time needed to insert a NG tube was shortest using head flexion with lateral pressure and longest with the use of a slit TT. Kinking was the most frequent complication encountered, and bleeding was the most common when the slit TT was used. Overall, considering the success rate, the duration of insertion, and the complication rate, we conclude that head flexion with lateral neck pressure is the simplest technique that has the highest success rate and lowest incidence of complications. Therefore, we recommend the use of either a head flexion with lateral neck pressure or an ureteral guidewire as a stylet in all NG tube insertions.

Of course rents would be dependent upon several factors including location, condition and square footage.
I encourage you to check out Craigslist and type in Fair Oaks or 95628 and also rentals.com where you can check out homes and their current rental amounts. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have more specific questions... we specialize working with many property investor clients.
There are a few specifications needed, to give you an accurate answer. I would need Address or area, type (home, condo, etc.), bedrooms, baths. But a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, single family home, near downtown Fair Oaks , average rent would be $1450. If this example doesn't work for you, I'd be more than happy to help you, just email or call. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.
I hope you will find this information helpful.

Generally in this rental market is takes about 45-60 days to rent. not bad...
Rents are a little lower than 2 yrs ago
Give me a specific address or description and I could be more specific.
I just did a quick Google search for "Fair Oaks, CA rental agent" and came up with a plethora of names. I recommend contacting a brokerage that represents a variety of properties so that you can get a good overview as well as the experience necessary to give you a specific quote for the property you are looking to rent.
Also, I recommend that if you are looking to rent a home through a brokerage that you get an idea of their vacancy rate.
Best of luck,

Welcome to THR benz55
4.2 Grs. N310 and Berry's 230 Gr. RN at 1.260 shoots pretty good. Avg 701 FPS 4" Barrel & 663 in a 3" - 70 Deg.
4.4 Grs. N310 and Berry's 200 Gr. HP at 1.200 shoots real good. Avg 820 FPS 5" Barrel. - ? Deg.
4.6 Grs. N310 and Berry's 185 Gr. HBRN at 1.260 shoots pretty good. Avg. 773 FPS 5" Barrel. - ? Deg.
4.6 Grs. N310 and Berry's 185 Gr. SWC at 1.190 shoots pretty good. Avg. 802 FPS 4" Barrel & 772 in a 3" - 70 Deg.
N310 is very fast burning and pressure goes up quickly. These loads are MAX.
They don't even show loads with N310 and the .45 in Vihtavouri's 95 second edition load book. They don't show any with 200 Gr. bullets in their online data. They give 4.2 as max with 230 Gr. Jktd. and 4.6 as Max with 185 Gr. Jktd. in their online data.
Reduce 2 to 3 tenths to start and work up.
6.3 Grs. N320 and Berry's 185 Gr. SWC at 1.190 shoots real well. Avg 871 FPS 4" Barrel.
5.4 Grs. N320 and Berry's 200 Gr. HP at 1.200 shoots pretty well. Avg 735 FPS 4" Barrel.
5.4 Grs. N320 and Hornady's 200 Gr. SWC at 1.260 shoots real well. Avg 702 FPS 4" Barrel.
5.2 Grs. N320 and Zero's 230 Gr. JHP at 1.245 shoots real well. Avg 721 FPS 4" Barrel.
I was planning on bumping these up to 6.4, 5.6, 5.6, & 5.4, but have not tried it yet. This would definitly be max.
Reduce these at least 10% to start as they are at or close to max by online data. They are not max by Vihtavuori's 95 second edition load book.
N320 was very accurate from light loads all the way to where I stopped for the time being. Other cheaper powders work very well also.
April 29, 2007, 12:11 AM
This is a great starting point.
I have some of the 185gr Berrys RNHB to try as well.
It looks like you had better results with N320 than N310
I have both powders available to test.
Would you know if the same loading data should be used for plated/jacketed heads?
Thanks for the Info Walkalong
April 29, 2007, 01:06 PM
You did not mention the weapon you are shooting, as this will be an important factor in load performance.
Although Walkalaong gave you some great data, I always strongly advocate that people read factory data. You can either read it or downlaod it free from this site:
April 29, 2007, 08:28 PM
It looks like you had better results with N320 than N310.
N310 can be very accurate, but it seemed more finicky with plated bullets than N320 in this app. :)
April 29, 2007, 08:55 PM
I am using these loads in a 1911 Colt Gold Cup Trophy,
for Bullseye and plinking loads.
I'm going to try the 320 first as I am using plated and Swaged
heads exclusively. I was concerned with the burning rate
on the N310 being almost the fastest powder out there,
But then read the Wilson uses it for their test loads and
it is supposedly the USMC team load powder as well.
wonder why?
I have a few thousand berrys 230gr RN and a smaller qty of
185gr RNHB that I picked up on the Cheap as well as a
1,500 lasercast 230gr RN
Any experience with Lasercast or Berry's Products?
April 30, 2007, 10:05 AM
The Berry's 230 Gr bullet can be very accurate. I like them. Zip shot them into one hole for me, for one. Not a bad bullet to have a few K of. :)
The best bet is to stick with one bullet and try 3 or 4 powders with it. If you try 3 or 4 bullets and 3 or 4 powders it just makes things harder.
Try the N320, AA# 2, AA# 5, W231, WST, WSF, Zip, or Tightgroup. See, to many possibles already. :scrutiny:
N320, Zip, W231, or AA# 2 is almost guaranteed to shoot with this bullet. :)
AA# 5, WSF for more pop.

children of a lesser God ,it seems . aam aadmi for sure..resigned to reality.
thanks krishalaya for sharing the pictures…assam is a agrarian state however 80% of its land are flood prone …despite having one of the most fertile land in india our farmers cannot be sure of return forcing every normal assamese villager who don't want to be a dalal of political parties to travel out and stand as security guards of malls n industries across india..for a petty 5-8,000.
i don't know where is the end of this ,,, who will bring change to it and when will that happen or what will make it happen either….
Flood in the state of Assam is nothing new and since 1954 the state has suffered major floods. In 2013's flood, 12 districts, 396 villages and 7000 hectares of agricultural land was destroyed. Thank you for sharing these pictures, hoping that government will take up this issue seriously and take measures to combat it.

In 1899 there appeared in the New York Medical Journal three admirable articles by Meltzer,1 in which he deals with the function of inhibition. He speaks of the entire life of the animal as being a delicately adjusted equilibrium between excitation and inhibition and cites instances in which the slightest deviation of the resultant in the nervous mechanism of an organ may lead to the most serious consequences.
A later article2 by the same author deals with the relation of inhibition to some forms of disease, and though it has paved the way for the more recent work brought forth by Eppinger and Hess3 in Vienna, only the latter work will be discussed here.
It is my purpose to present a brief summary of their work together with a clinical analysis of a number of cases which I have studied during the last year. At

AKRON, Ohio -- A football rivalry that began in 1923 between Akron and Kent State is actually just beginning for Zips sophomore quarterback Kyle Pohl and KSU freshman QB Colin Reardon.
Saturday's 3:30 p.m. kickoff in InfoCision Stadium looks to be the first in a possible trilogy for two players who are well aware of the emotional roller coaster they are getting into.
"I got family over there, cousins,'' Pohl said. "My kicker (Brad Miller) in high school is their kicker now. You treat it like any other game preparing all week. But on Saturday, this one is personal."
The two quarterbacks have never met. They have never played against each other as Pohl hails from Farmersville, Ohio in the southwest part of the state, while Reardon is from the northeast, Poland, Ohio.
They also play the game differently. Pohl is the 6-3, 215-pound gunslinger while Reardon is the 6-0, 200-pound game manager capable of doing a little bit of everything, run and pass. Considering both teams stand a disappointing 2-7, 1-4 on the season, winning this one would clearly be the season highlight for one of them.
The atmosphere and intensity from both teams that goes with playing in this game makes it one of the top rivalry games in the Mid-American Conference.
"The last two years, I've seen the intensity of it,'' said Pohl, who watched the game on the sidelines as a freshman and redshirt freshman.
"Last year, I got a good feel for it,'' said Reardon who watched from the sideline as Kent came back from a 21-7 deficit to win, 35-24.
Reardon may face even more pressure, considering his good friend is Kent starting safety Luke Wollett. Like all current true KSU seniors, none has lost a Wagon Wheel game in their careers.
The evidence -- every spoke with a score attached to it -- hangs in the Golden Flashes locker room. Akron leads the overall series between the two teams at 30-23-2. But since the Wagon Wheel became the official post-game reward in 1946, Kent leads the series, 22-19-1.
"It is the first thing you see,'' Reardon said. "This is a championship game for us, same for them."
Pohl speaks of teammates, now seniors, who tell of the hurt they felt as they watched KSU sprint across the field to claim the symbol of the rivalry in 2010. And the fact KSU has won it every year since.
At Kent there is a brief video of those same seconds, etched in the minds of the Golden Flashes who were there then, and want to keep the wheel in place now.
"You can feel the excitement, just from the video,'' Reardon said.
It will be up to the quarterbacks to bottle that emotion, control it, then release it as needed in order to get a victory.
On the field, the two quarterbacks have been steady all season. Pohl has played every game and has completed 179 of 321 passes for 1,873 yards 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He has 65 yards rushing and 1 TD.
Reardon, who has missed one game due to injury, is 140 of 234 passing for 1,459 yards, 11 TD, 6 INT. He has rushed for 222 yards and 1 TD.
Yet after the final whistle, stats won't really matter. Only the scoreboard, and the post-game reward.
"You want to be the one with the wheel,'' Pohl said.

Topic: HK Quad Board V2.1
Posted: 05/Apr/2012 at 5:21pm
Hi folks,
I am new to the world of quadracopters and after reading about them for a while I decided to invest in one.
I ordered the parts based on a list someone else had written and if something was out of stock (plush 20A ESC) i ordered something similar.
I have finally wired everything up and have all connections soldered, but I have now hit another snag: I cannot get the thing to arm.
I have tried flashing the firmware, the flash tool gives a message about not being able to set the sck period but completes ok, then the LED on the board lights and flashes rapidly until disconnected. I have connected everything up, TX turned on, end points at 100%, trim at 0% and throttle to 0 but the board does not initialise.
Following the advice of someone else on this forum, I have removed all but 1 BEC connection and the board flashes once when I connect power, then does nothing and does not respond to any input from the TX (including down/up+left/right on either sticks.
I have tried disconnecting the servo extensions 1 by 1 and have found that with all but rudder connected I am now getting a beep from the ESCs. After this beep, the board does not appear to react to any inputs.
Anyone have any ideas, tips or advice? I'm starting to see wiring looms and servo extension leads in my sleep...

If your esc are like mine, you need to turn on the receiver/esc with the throttle at full so the esc knows where full is, when it starts beeping go to 0 throttle, then the esc should arm.

Try moving throttle stick left or right at lowest setting. While holding it there adjust your trim the same way and watch the LED on board...

Thanks for the replies.
I tried what was suggested by goglu2 and got nothing, then tried Keeth's option but still no go.
Issue has now been resolved by doing the following;
Firstly, I re-made my leads coming from the RX as i suspect there was a solder bridge somewhere - hence the board refusing to work when rudder lead was connected.
While still leaving all the endpoints for throttle at -150%, I turned the yaw pot to 0 and kept the throttle at max before powering up the whole assembly. I got a series of flashes from the LED and the distinctive calibration beep from the ESCs so quickly dropped the throttle to min which got me the calibration complete beeps from the ESCs.
I disconnected power, reset yaw pot to ~50% and powered up again. A quick flash of the board's led and then the power on beep from the ESCs told me things were going better. A little input from the throttle stick and the motors jumped into life.
Thanks again for the suggestions - not sure whether the problem was with the dodgy solder work or a calibration issue with the TX but it works, and that's what matters - right?
Now all that's left is to fabricate a frame and I'll be up there with the rest of you!
(I should have just bought one from the site as they are dirt cheap)

That's a good point flarssen. I just tried to replicate my success and nothing...
Looks like I am still stuck where I was before. If I connect power to the board, the LED flashes and the ESCs beep but then it sits dormant.
I have now tried reversing every channel on the TX, 1 by 1 and still no joy. I have just changed to Kapteinkuk's 4.7 firmware for X configuration, set yaw to 0, stick to 100%, ESC beeps so stick to 0, ESCs confirm configured. Disconnect power to everything, yaw to ~50%, power on, get the led flash and beep from ESC but still cannot get it to arm.
Am I being really stupid here and missing something?

While in calibration mode, all ESC's receives the same signal. If all motors starts to spin when throttle is moved forward (while still in calibration mode), the direction of the throttle is correct. If endpoint is set to max and trim is all the way down to the low side, there is only the rudder/yaw channel left to worry about. Do you have a servo that you can connect to the rudder output on the receiver for testing endpoints?
Carefully inspect the wires between Rx and Quad board for the yaw channel.
The stick needs to be held in the initialization position for 2-3 seconds before the board will initialize.
If you get it to work, note that the motor sequence for KK 4.7-X is:
1 3
2 4

Ok, turns out I'm stupid.
I plugged a servo into the servo channel on the RX, nothing. Hmm, strange! So I check the other channels, also nothing. The only channel that works is the throttle.
Then it occurs to me that a few weeks back I had been bench testing another setup and left a battery hooked up the the RX with an ESC plugged in too. Obviously when I hooked up main power there was a lot of smoke from wires burning (luckily both were ni-cad) so I disconnected it all and let it cool. I didn't bother checking the RX as I knew it would be a while before I used it again but it seems that I blew something major.
I swapped the crystal over to a spare 4 channel RX I had lying around, connected up the quad board, added power and waited for the beeps. All ok so far! Reset rudder trim (with throttle trim at -100%) and left stick made the LED come on. Reset throttle trim to 0 and went to ~50% motors are going strong. Input on the other channels controls the relevant motors so it's all looking good.
All that's left is to tidy up the wires a bit and I'll be in the air.
Sorry for the complete waste of time and thanks for all the suggestions!

John Callahan wins Democratic nomination for Northampton County executive
Northampton County Democrats are sending Bethlehem's mayor onto the general election as their candidate for county executive.
John Callahan has been declared the unofficial winner of the race over his two opponents, Glenn Reibman and Lamont McClure.
Callahan has been Bethlehem's mayor for the past nine years. He used that experience as a major factor in his campaign, pointing to the Sands Casino in one debate as proof he can bring new development to the area.
John Stoffa, the current county executive, announced his intentions not to run for re-election last year.
Callahan will now face off against John Brown, the Republican candidate, in the general election in November.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) - Sprinter Butch Reynolds, whose world record at 400 meters stood for 11 years, is quitting international competition.
Reynolds, 36, announced his retirement Thursday at a charity run in his hometown. His 400 record of 43.18 seconds was broken by Michael Johnson at the 1999 World Championships.
"You got to go where they love you, like in "Cheers'," said Reynolds, the former Ohio State star who anchored the U.S. 1,600 relay team to gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and finished second in the 400 there.
Reynolds was suspended in 1990 by the International Amateur Athletic Federation, which said he tested positive for the steroid nandrolone after a 1988 meet in Monte Carlo.
Reynolds denied the charge but still wound up serving a two-year suspension as he fought the IAAF in court. He won a $27.3 million judgment, but the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the award in May 1994, saying the case involved events in Europe.
Reynolds got a court order that allowed him to compete in the 1992 Olympic trials, but he finished fifth in the qualifying. He did qualify for the 1,600-meter relay, but did not compete.
He also was a member of the U.S. team in the 1996 Olympics. He gave up his job as assistant coach at Ohio State to train for the Sydney Olympics, but did not make the team.

Todd Combs Hasn't Followed Buffett's Buy-And-Hold Strategy
If you haven't heard, Warren Buffett named Todd Combs, a small hedge-fund manager, to oversee a portion of Berkshire's roughly $53 billion equity portfolio.
For Combs, the trick will be managing a portfolio the size of Berkshire's. Castle Point, which launched in 2005, is a $400 million fund focused on the financial sector. Combs both bought and shorted stocks. The fund has earned cumulative returns of about 34% since it launched. Over the same period, the S&P 500 index fell 5.1%.
At Castle Point, much of his success came from moving in and out of stocks much faster than the Oracle of Omaha typically does. Deal Journal colleague Erik Holm points out:
"Berkshire's latest listing of its U.S. equity holdings, dated June 30, shows Buffett's company holds 33 of the 41 stocks it owned a year earlier…Combs, in contrast, shows no holdings in 16 of the 31 companies his Castle Point Capital held just a year earlier, and is missing 18 of the 23 he held in June 2008, according to his firm's filings."
Such moves won't be easy at Berkshire. The size of its portfolio makes quick investment exits difficult. Holm writes:
For Combs to continue Buffett's investing success at Berkshire, he will have to adapt to such realities, said Jeff Matthews, author of "Pilgrimage to Warren Buffett's Omaha" and founder of hedge fund Ram Partners LP.
"The difference between managing $400 million and $40 billion is enough to give you a brain cramp," Matthews said. "But just because he has a high turnover doesn't mean he can't buy a position with conviction and own it for a long period of time. Otherwise, he'd be violating everything Buffett stands for–not to mention that it's practically impossible."

It wasn't long ago we were chanting and doing the "Tomahawk Chop" at our football games. Do you percieve that as appropriate?Originally posted by Jeff Boettcher:
Get a life.
Calling a team the Hatchets is not derogatory to any group of people. (Unless you want to say that calling Tomahawk's teams "The Hatchets" makes them feel inferior to a team called the "Axes")
AMEN! I'm with you Nell!Originally posted by NurseNell:
For pete's sake, we have our military members being killed almost daily in Iraq, 70,000 + people died a few months ago in Pakistan from an earthquake and thousands are expected to die from the bitter cold there, a tsunami killed over 200,000 people, and on and on. There are plenty of things requiring our involvement and actions. Changing the logo of THS isn't one of those.
Haley, you apparently have no sense of humor. I was being facetious about the Fighting Irish. And as for the wee folk being non-existent you are obviously a non believer. I travel to Ireland yearly, the wee folk exist, esp in the west of the country.Originally posted by Haley:
Oh, and regarding the Fighting Irish and the Vikings:
Notre Dame was founded by Irish Catholics. They self-identified their team with the name Fighting Irish. (Their mascot is a leprechaun, a non-existant mythological figure.)
Minnesota is the home to a large Scandinavian population, who chose to self-identify its football team with the name of the Vikings. (Vikings are a historical group that do not exist today.)
Haley, you might try to develop a little sense of humor, it will serve you well when you are diagnosed with cancer. Were it not for my sense of humor I might as well call Kevorkian today.Originally posted by Haley:
I just like to permit myself to have a critical perspective of the world. Perhaps you would benefit from trying the same.
Haley, to whom are you addressing this? For the record, I grew up on the east coast. At the age of 35 I moved to Tomahawk, I lived there 9 years, I left in 1989. According to your profile you live in Tomahawk.Originally posted by Haley:
If you're so ambivalent over the name thing, then why do you take such a strong stance against it? It confuses me big time. Forget your darling Hatches for five minutes. Why aren't you all addressing what I said about racism in team names?
It figures that people in Tomahawk would dismiss racism in the name of a pasttime that frankly is less important than getting a decent education, but apparently that point is lost on you since you're, well, still living in Tomahawk cheering on a bunch of kids running around with a ball. My apologies. Oops, there goes my sense of humor again. Joking about uneducated lower-class people. I suppose it's less damaging than joking about how someone should die.
