Spring Survival Tips for the ACTs and SATs
High school students, it's that time of year again… Exam time! Oh joy of joys. To assist you in this hour of need, we've got a few tips to help you out on the ACT and SAT exams that are fast approaching, along with some important dates and deadlines to help you stay on track.
Have a question regarding either exam? Post it in a comment and we'll answer it for you ASAP!
Important Dates: If you've already registered for the next test, it's just around the corner on May 7th. If you haven't yet taken the test this Spring, you should register for the June 1st test date by May 7th. Head to collegeboard.org to register online asap.
Study Materials: The College Board site is a veritable treasure trove of helpful links. Nobody should go into the exam without becoming very familiar with it–and that includes much more than taking the PSAT in your junior year. One extremely useful page is the SAT Study Plan area. This is your homepage from where you can navigate practice tests and questions, as well as tips on various sections of the test. What's even better is that it is completely customizable; those of you who have never taken the test before will see different content than those who have taken the SATs at least once. Plus, for those in the latter category, there's even a page where you can get even more personalized feedback based on your PSAT scores. You can check that page out here.
Of course, purchasing a physical study book is always a bright idea. The upside of the College Board SAT support site, though, is that it has all the helpful strategies, tips, and practice tests you'll find in a book, with the added benefit of being free and only a click away. Maximize your time by receiving the SAT Question of the Day by email—you'll be studying every day without even realizing it.
Finally, here's one really helpful study material you might not have heard about… SAT Vocabulary Novels. If you struggle with the SAT Vocab section, as most students do, the absolute best way to expand your vocabulary is by reading. Seeing words in their context is infinitely more helpful than memorizing definitions on flashcards. It also ensures that you remember those words for far longer. The SAT Vocabulary Novel series contains books of all genres, all geared towards teens. Take Rave New World, for example, a futuristic dystopian novel about love and addiction. These books intersperse the most popular SAT words throughout, then highlight them with definitions at the bottom of the page. Really useful stuff to get you familiar with that intimidating SAT lexicon, and way more riveting than the dictionary.

Baseball: Daisuke Matsuzaka reunited with Terry Francona
With at least one spot open in his rotation, new Indians manager Terry Francona will give a pitcher he knows well a shot to win a starting job.
Japanese right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka has agreed to a minor league contract with Cleveland. Matsuzaka, who pitched for Francona with the Boston Red Sox, must pass a physical for the deal to be finalized.
Indians' pitchers and catchers reported to camp in Goodyear, Ariz., on Sunday, with physicals scheduled to take place today.
Matsuzaka, 32, would get a $1.5 million, one-year contract if added to the 40-man roster, and would be able to earn $2.5 million in performance bonuses based on innings and starts.
Justin Masterson, Ubaldo Jimenez and Brett Myers are the only pitchers with guaranteed spots in Cleveland's rotation.
Felix deal hits snag
A concern about Seattle right-hander Felix Hernandez's elbow might affect talks with the Mariners about his contract extension, CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman confirmed. ESPN's Buster Olney first reported the news.
The two sides were discussing a seven-year deal worth $175 million, which would be the largest pitching contract in baseball history.
Heyman confirmed Hernandez took a physical recently, which is when the elbow concerns arose. The sides are working through various issues, the elbow among them.
There is still hope the contract will be completed, but Heyman hears it is "not imminent." Hernandez, 26, missed almost a month with a flexor strain in his right elbow in 2007.
Hairston a Cub
Former Mets outfielder Scott Hairston and the Chicago Cubs have finalized a two-year contract. According to a source, the deal is worth $5 million.
Hairston, 32, hit .263 with a career-high 20 homers, 57 RBI and 25 doubles last year in his second season with New York.
Hairston has a .247 career average with 95 homers, 279 RBI.
Barajas returns
Catcher and onetime Met Rod Barajas returned to the Arizona Diamondbacks, where he began his major league career.
The team said the 37-year-old agreed to a minor league contract. He will go to spring training and compete with Wil Nieves for a job behind Miguel Montero.
Raise for Freese
Former World Series MVP David Freese will earn $3.15 million under his one-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals, nearly six times the $518,000 he made last year.


text: UPDATED 01:47 22nd July 2015 Reece James is sponsored by: James' Labels After impressing in loan spells with Championship sides Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town during the 2014-15 campaign, Manchester United youngster Reece James was sought out by Latics boss Gary Caldwell as one of his earliest acquisitions ahead of his first full season in charge. Arriving on a three-year deal from the Red Devils, James joined up with his teammates in Scotland as they prepared for their League One season with games against Partick Thistle and Dundee. An almost ever-present in Caldwell's side up until an injury he sustained in January, James recorded 29 appearances in his debut campaign. James' sole Latics goal came on his final appearance of the 2015-16 season and it was a 'Goal of the Season' contender as he curled a fine effort into the top left corner from the edge of the area in a 3-1 win over Chesterfield at the DW Stadium. After missing five months between January and May, James missed the promotion run-in and will be looking to get back into the side from pre-season onwards as Latics step up to the next level. CAREER SO FAR James began his footballing career with Rossendale United, before spending time as a youth at Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End, later moving to Manchester United for his final year as an Under 18. The versatile left back made his professional debut in League One against Leyton Orient on 3 August 2013, whilst on loan at Carlisle United from Old Trafford. James made his competitive debut for United against MK Dons in the Capital One Cup on 26 August 2014, coming up against fellow summer signing Will Grigg who scored twice. The 21-year-old joined Rotherham United on loan in the 2014/15 campaign, playing eight times, including in the Millers' 2-1 victory over Latics at the DW Stadium. James formed part of the defence alongside his fellow summer signing Craig Morgan. James had a second spell in Yorkshire during the 2014/15 season, this time he linked up with Huddersfield Town on loan for the final two months of the season, playing six times. He went on to score his first professional goal whilst on loan at the John Smith's Stadium, with the Terriers drawing 4-4 at home to Derby County. Before making his competitive debut for Man United, James made an appearance for the first team during their pre-season clash with LA Galaxy in July 2014, scoring a brace in a 7-0 victory.

DARK ELEGIES A simple grace, here performed with simple grace.
Boston Ballet closed its 2007–2008 by revisiting some pieces and choreographers it hasn't performed in the Mikko Nissinen era: George Balanchine's Concerto Barocco, which it last did in 1988; Antony Tudor's Dark Elegies, which it's never done (the company's last Tudor work was Jardin aux lilas, in 1990); and Twyla Tharp's In the Upper Room, which it's had on three programs, most recently in 1995. Memory can play tricks: I "recall" In the Upper Room as being a Big Bang of a dance, but I see that the two mid-1990s reviews I wrote expressed reservations about its ontology. Concerto Barocco, on the other hand, looks simpler and deeper every time I see it, and these performances — I caught all six — were tighter than the ones from 1988. Whether Boston Ballet's Tudor style has improved I wouldn't venture to say, but Dark Elegies was a tearjerking effort from a company that hasn't done him in 18 years.
Concerto Barocco was conceived in New York but first saw the light of day in Rio de Janeiro, as an American Ballet Caravan presentation in 1941, on the same tour that birthed Ballet Imperial (now Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 2). It was part of the very first New York City Ballet evening, on October 11, 1948, but it wasn't till 1951 that the original fantastical costumes were dropped in favor of practice clothes, and only in the 1960s, as Nancy Goldner reminds us in Balanchine Variations (just out from the University Press of Florida), did the women exchange their black tunics for white. Now it's hard to imagine the work any other way.
The music, Bach's Double Violin Concerto, is so elemental, so obvious, it seems to be writing itself. So does Balanchine's choreography. In the first-movement Vivace, two groups of four women each form the backdrop for two solo women who move in unison, in mirror image, in canon. It has the look of submission to the goddess — Diana rather than Venus. The Largo — an infinity of human feeling in just 50 bars — has hardly begun before one woman runs off and a man runs on to dance with the other in Balanchine's alphabet of arabesques; they twine through the bridesmaid eight as if playing "In and Out the Window" and form a daisy chain like the dancers in the slow movement of Ballet Imperial. Toward the end of the movement, the second woman slides on, diagonally, the man runs off, the two women confer briefly (a warning?) in the same position with which the Largo started, and it begins again, the second woman leaving and the man coming back on. The concluding Allegro brings the backdrop forward, the two soloists growing dueling-passé competitive — over the man? — as well as complementary. Of the man we see nothing further.

Boscov's to open 2 new stores; 2nd expansion since bankruptcy
EXETER TWP., Pa. - Shoppers in parts of Maryland and New Jersey will soon able to say they "Boscov'd" today.
Berks County-based Boscov's is opening two new stores. It's the department store chain's second expansion since it emerged from bankruptcy.
Boscov's said it will return to White Marsh Mall in Baltimore in November. Boscov's left the mall when it filed for bankruptcy in 2008.
"I'm glad we are returning to White Marsh Mall. It was a great store, and we look forward to creating a new, more exciting Boscov's in the Baltimore area," said Al Boscov, the chain's chairman and CEO, who has guided the company to record sales and profitability since buying it back and returning to the helm in 2008.
The other new Boscov's store will open at Woodbridge Center in Woodbridge, N.J., in Aug. 2013.
"The prospect of expanding our presence in New Jersey and the Woodbridge Mall in particular represents an exciting opportunity for Boscov's," said Boscov.
The chain ended up in bankruptcy court, Boscov said in 2008, because its former owners opened 10 new stores in areas the Boscov name was unfamiliar to shoppers.
Those stores were later closed as part of the company's efforts to restructure and emerge from bankruptcy. Boscov's began to grow again last October, opening its 40th store in Monmouth, N.J. and boosting its number of employees to about 7,500.

Effective immediately, the City of Garland implements a new watering schedule for both its residential and business customers. This change is necessary due to unexpected peak demands on our water system under the previous city-wide Saturdays only watering schedule. Customers will be allowed to water their lawns just once per week based on residential trash pickup schedules. Garland businesses will base their watering day on the residential schedule at their specific location(s). See map attached below. Any business or resident who previously applied for and received a water variance is allowed to continue to water according to the terms of that variance. All others are asked to water their lawns on their new designated watering day. "Garland Water Utilities appreciates its customers' efforts in conserving water. Through their diligence, we have successfully met our reduction goals," said John Baker, Managing Director. "We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause, but it is necessary to assure system reliability during high demands," he added. For additional information regarding Stage 3 Water Restrictions, please visit the Water Utilities web page.

Another ship seeking to test Israel's blockade of Gaza was steaming toward that Palestinian enclave on Friday, setting the stage for another confrontation with the Israeli military less than a week after Israel's deadly raid on an flotilla of activists.
Members of the Free Gaza Movement, a pro-Palestinian group that has organized efforts to breach the blockade, said they expected the cargo ship would reach Gaza by Saturday morning. Activists have said they would not put up resistance if their ship was boarded or intercepted by Israel.
"If they do come on board, we'll be nice," said Faizal Azumu, a passenger who answered a satellite telephone on board the ship on Friday evening local time. "We don't want any problems."
The last attempt by hundreds of activists to breach Israel's blockade ended in a bloody clash on Monday, with nine civilian activists dead after Israeli commandos boarded a Turkish ship. The violence touched off a furor in Turkey and much of the Middle East and intensified calls for Israel to end its three-year blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Israel has vowed to prevent the 1,200-ton ship, the Rachel Corrie, from landing in Gaza to deliver its cargo of construction materials, paper and other supplies.
But the Israeli Foreign Ministry released a statement on Friday saying it had no interest in boarding the ship, according to Ynet News, an Israeli news Web site. The Israeli government offered to unload the vessel's cargo at the port in Ashdod in southern Israel and transport it to Gaza — a similar offer to the one it made to activists in the aid convoy that was attacked on Monday.
Activists have rejected the Israeli government's offer to change course, and said they would continue to sail toward Gaza, but they also said they would act peacefully.
After the botched raid on the flotilla this week, Israel said that the commandos who fired on activists had done so in self-defense after being attacked with clubs and knives.
Members of the Free Gaza Movement have offered conflicting estimates of when the vessel would near Gaza, with one saying Thursday that the ship would not approach the territory this weekend. But on Friday, Mr. Azumu said that the ship was about 125 miles from Gaza and that the passengers hoped to reach their destination by Saturday morning.
Mairead McGuire, a Nobel Peace laureate who was on the ship, told The Associated Press that the activists would "sit down" if Israeli forces came on board. "They will probably arrest us," she said. "But there will be no resistance."
Faced with growing criticism, Israel has defended its blockade as crucial to preventing missiles and weapons from flowing into Gaza, where Hamas won elections in 2006 and then wrested total control in 2007. But an Israeli official acknowledged Thursday that the government was looking at other ways of allowing civilian goods to reach Gaza while still screening for weapons.
On Friday, three more activists who had been wounded this week in clashes aboard the Turkish ship, the Mavi Marmara, returned to Turkey, where public anger at Israel has brought relations between the two countries to their nadir.
A day earlier, as hundreds of activists detained after the raid were flown back to Turkey, several thousand people streamed through Istanbul in a procession to mourn the activists killed in the raid. Eight of the dead were Turkish, and one was an American citizen of Turkish descent.
The fiery language from Turkish leaders continued Friday, according to news reports from Ankara. Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc, told Turkish television that Turkey could reduce its relations with Israel "to a minimum," and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of breaking the Biblical commandment against killing.

Reviews of this property
I really liked staying at the appartment! It was very cosy, clean and central - and close enough to walk to Montmartre and to all the needed subway lines!
My host was reliable and very friendly - I would definitely book this appartment again!
Ik werd vriendelijk ontvangen , maar kreeg niet het appartement dat ik gehuurd had .Verwisseld met een andere huurder .Het appartement dat ik kreeg lag een verdieping hoger . Was niet schoon .mijn host maakte snel het toilet schoon omdat het echt nog vuil was . Er was geen dekbed , maar twee dekens en losse lakens . Ook sommige pannen waren nog vuil .De rijstkorrels moest ik er nog uit spoelen. Geen design appartement .
Satine è molto simpatica e disponibile. L'appartamento seppur piccolo è ben attrezzato e ben organizzato. Abbastanza centrale e nelle immediate vicinanze di metro e bus. Sono arrivato di domenica sera mi hanno fatto gentilmente trovare acqua, latte, caffè, tea, ecc... Se proprio devo trovare una pecca, è relativa al bagno, veramente molto piccolo (ma proprio piccolo!) con lo specchio ad altezza bambino per cui per sbarbarsi, pettinarsi, ecc bisogna avere doti da contorsionista (ma sono certissimo che Satine risolverà il problema specchio!). Comunque giudizio complessivamente positivo per pulizia, organizzazione e rapporto qualità/prezzo.
Reviews for this host's other properties
My family and I had a very pleasant stay in Paris. Our host Satine was very helpful at our arrival and despite the flight was delayed and we arrived late she waited for us and took her time to explain everything. We can strongly recommend this apartment. The apartment is located next to metro station Simplon so it is easy to get around and reach the important spots in Paris. Also the area is a bit outside the tourist area which is great. Here you live where the locals live: a more authentic parisian life!
Very clean and spacious apartment. Host is helpful, all equipments are available , very comfortable place to stay , highly recommended .
This apartment is really cute. located in a quiet and lively Parisian district great way connected with the metro and bus. the apartment has no elevator but that was not a problem for us to do our two children one of six and two years. so my opinion is great. Finally thank the hostess that was a really nice person.
We arrived on a sunday at Satines studio and she met us there to explain all about the apartment.
Its a nice simple apartment with all you need for your stay.
The neighbourhood is a loud one...all diferent cultures,so at night was quiet noisy but with the windows shut you dont hear anything.
The apartment is in a old building but totally renovated...the only problem is we could hear the neighbours upstairs walking all the time,draggung furmiture,and that was quite if a deal because at night when we were sleeping,we would wake up with them walking so hard it sounded it was in our house.So take some earplugs just in case.
There are supermarkets close by but not many nice restaurants so word to the wise,google the aerea before you go!
Metro station 2 minutes away so that made it super easy!
Montmartre is 10 minutes away allll the way up.
Very nice apartment near Sacre Coer. It was very clean and the apartment is well equipped. Thank you Satine for your hospitality, you make us feel very comfortable. We would book this apartment again.
Very good experience. The owner is very helpful and nice, makes you feel at home. Apartment small, but clean and comfortable, equipped with everything you need. We arrived in the evening and the owner made us find milk and fresh water! We were with two children aged 10 and 13 and we were all very pleased.
Neighborhood, with 2 comfortable underground and bus. Entered the building with electronic key and security code.
I would go back !!
Very positive experience!
Esperienza molto positiva. La proprietaria è molto disponibile e gentile, fa sentire a casa propria. Appartamento piccolo, ma pulitissimo e accogliente, dotato di tutto il necessario. Siamo arrivati di sera e la proprietaria ci ha fatto trovare latte e acqua fresca! Eravamo con due figli di 10 e 13 anni e siamo rimasti tutti molto soddisfatti.
Quartiere caratteristico, con 2 comode fermate metro e bus. Entrata nel palazzo con chiave elettronica e con codice di sicurezza.
Ci ritornerei!!
Very positive experience!
We just loved the apartment! We found it clean and friendly. Suitable for a couple but also to 4 people. Very close to supermarkets, metro (in the center in 15 min. With line 4 and 12), and places to eat and have breakfast. The owner, Jeshabel, was very kind and helpful! Recommended!
Ci è piaciuto moltissimo l'appartamento! Lo abbiamo trovato pulito ed accogliente. Adatto a una coppia ma anche a 4 persone. Vicinissimo a supermercati, metro (in centro in 15 min. con linea 4 e 12), e posti dove mangiare e fare colazione. La proprietaria, Jeshabel, è stata gentilissima e disponibile! Raccomandato!

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
The New Bethany School for Girls no longer exists, at least by that name. But it was one of an unknown number of homes for "troubled teens" that cater to the Independent Fundamental Baptist community—a web of thousands of autonomous churches linked by doctrine, overlapping leadership, and affiliations with Bible colleges like Bob Jones University. IFB churches emphasize strict obedience and consider teen rebellion an invention of worldly society, so families faced with teenage drinking, smoking, or truancy often entrust their children to such programs.
These reform schools trace their lineages to Texas radio evangelist Lester Roloff, who founded the Rebekah Home for Girls in Corpus Christi back in 1967, employing disciplinary tactics that were adopted by dozens of imitators. Roloff's wards were subjected to days in locked isolation rooms where his sermons played in an endless loop. They also endured exhaustive corporal punishment. "Better a pink bottom than a black soul," he famously declared at a 1973 court hearing after he was prosecuted by the state of Texas on behalf of 16 Rebekah girls. (The attorney general responded that he was more concerned with bottoms "that were blue, black, and bloody.")
This slideshow features snapshots posted on online "survivor" forums by former residents of New Bethany, who confided with Mother Jones contributor Kathryn Joyce about their treatment at the hands of the home's authorities. (One of the photos was titled: "Hell.jpg.") As Joyce reported in her must-read magazine piece, "Escape from Missouri," which appears online as "Horror Stories From Tough-Love Teen Homes," such stories are common among former residents of the Roloff-inspired homes, which continue to operate with near impunity in states like Missouri, Texas, and Louisiana. Among other indignities, former residents describe being beaten, hazed, locked in isolation, refused bathroom privileges, and denied contact with their loved ones. The schools are largely located on remote rural compounds, which discourages escape and helps their operators avoid scrutiny. "After a while, I was so brainwashed I didn't even want to run," one survivor told Joyce. "I figured this was God's plan."

The painting depicts three charming allegorical putti, identifiable by the symbols they display, and is the work of Domenico Zampieri, called Domenichino, the Bolognese painter who worked with the Carraccis and enjoyed considerable success in Rome, where he worked on prestigious decorative projects.
The Sabauda painting is most probably the canvas with "Tre Puttini" commissioned from Domenichino in Rome by Cardinal Maurizio of Savoy. It was paid 50 scudi on 30 July 1625, so it cannot be dated any later (Baudi di Vesme 1963–82, vol. III, 1968, p. 1109). Judging from the fact that another three payments were made to Padovanino, Francesco Gessi and Alessandro Turchi for paintings (now lost) of similar subjects, it must originally have been part of a larger decorative cycle with a complex iconography (Di Macco 1995, pp. 363–64).
It is one of many versions of playing putti which were popular in the 17th century, but in order to understand the deeper meaning of the symbolism which refers to the sciences and the arts, one must consider the refined academic discussions between intellectuals and the Savoy Cardinal, who founded the Accademia dei Desiosi in Rome in 1626 (Spear 1982, pp. 259–60; Di Macco 1988, p. 46; Di Macco 1989, p. 100, no. 103).

For high investment yields that are worth the extra risk, look beyond junk bonds. Investors have piled into them, causing prices to rise and yields to fall to record lows. The BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II index recently yielded just 5.7%.

Business-development companies, or BDCs, make loans to small and midsize businesses and pass the interest on to shareholders as income. They trade like stocks, much like their pass-through investment siblings, real-estate investment trusts and master limited partnerships.
Even the safest of BDC stocks are offering yields of 8%. By contrast, junk bonds are generally yielding less than 6%. Stuart Goldenberg for Barron's
BDC loans and junk bonds both carry elevated risk of default, which portfolio managers seek to keep in check with diversification and careful choosing. There are important differences between the two assets, however. Many BDC loans are "senior secured" debt, meaning that in the event of bankruptcy, they must be paid before junk bonds. Also, many BDC loans carry floating interest rates. That puts them at lower risk of price declines if rates broadly rise.
In addition, BDCs have relatively little competition. Their customers are generally too small to tap the bond market, and commercial banks are finding such lending less attractive in the wake of new capital requirements.
The dearth of rivals means that BDCs can charge rates commensurate with their risks. Most charge fees to issue loans, similar to points on a mortgage. Once the loans become securities, demand for them rises among investors that can hold such loans but can't originate them. "We're able to originate loans by putting up 98 cents on the dollar, and then sell them at 101 cents," says Leonard Tannenbaum, chief executive of Fifth Street Finance FSC 0.7075471698113207% Fifth Street Finance Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD4.27 0.03 0.7075471698113207% /Date(1495573200164-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 386348 AFTER HOURS USD4.28 0.0100000000000007 0.234192037470726% Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 597674601.52565 Dividend Yield 11.7096018735363% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (FSC), a BDC. "Sometimes we sell them right away."
Little wonder that BDCs have been attracting more attention of late. Wells Fargo created a BDC index in January 2011. Soon after, UBS issued exchange-traded notes that track the index. This past February, Van Eck launched the group's first exchange-traded fund, Market Vectors BDC Income BIZD 0.7709251101321586% VanEck Vectors BDC Income ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 18.3 0.14 0.7709251101321586% /Date(1495573188000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 36712 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 7.586885245901639% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (BIZD). Rising recognition could eventually narrow the yield gap between BDCs and junk-bond funds. "I see an opportunity for valuation arbitrage," says Jonathan Bock, an analyst at Wells Fargo. "You pick up more than three extra percentage points versus junk-bond yields, and you get better protection."
Before buying into BDCs, however, investors should consider some of the potential pitfalls. Allied Capital and American Capital (ACAS) suffered high-profile blowups during the financial crisis of 2007-09. In hindsight, both companies had lent too aggressively while adding large amounts of stock exposure to their portfolios. BDCs use leverage, with a legal limit of 1:1, which amplifies the effects of excessive risk-taking. Since then, outside scrutiny of BDC loan books has risen, making today's valuations more reliable, says Bock.
Leverage can be a good thing, considering that many BDCs now can borrow at just over 6% (or 3.5%, if they use government-subsidized funds for small businesses) and lend at 10%. And many are prudent lenders; the group has managed to keep loan-loss rates at about 0.7% a year of capital deployed, below the rate of commercial banks.
BDCs must pay out the bulk of their income as dividends. Look for outfits that can cover at least three-quarters of their dividend payments with loan interest alone, before adding things like underwriting fees and gains, which can shrink in a downturn. Investor fees are important, too. Many BDCs charge like hedge funds, collecting 2% of assets plus 20% of winnings each year. Good ones have provisions that reduce management fees in the event of portfolio losses. Bad ones don't.
WELLS FARGO HAS divided the BDC universe into four tiers based on risk. Over the past two years, its top-ranked BDCs have gained a total of 36%, versus 24% for all BDCs in its coverage. Good bets from this lowest-risk group include Hercules Technology Growth, which specializes in tech companies and often negotiates for stock warrants as part of its deals. That gives it upside potential with less downside risk and mimics a tactic used by Warren Buffett in recent years. Golub Capital BDC is only three years old but is run by a firm with nearly two decades of lending experience. It has a shareholder-friendly fee structure and is particularly picky about risk. New Mountain Finance specializes in lending to companies whose earnings tend to hold up well during downturns in the economy.
Ares Capital is the largest BDC and a veteran of the financial crisis. Its shares plunged with those of Allied and American then, but with a crucial difference: Ares continued paying healthy dividends. The stock price has recovered, and while the ride for long-term holders has been anything but comfortable, it has been plenty profitable. The shares returned a total of 203% between their October 2004 debut and the end of last year. That compares with 50% for the Standard & Poor's 500 index.

I saw what I think is the beginning of a supercedure cell today. The hive was started from a package and installed on April 17th. They are starting from bare foundation and have drawn out 6 of 8 frames completely. Frame 7 was started and they haven't touched frame 8. This was the only supercedure cell in the hive. I added a second brood box today and took one drawn out frame from the bottom and put it on the second brood box. I saw the queen today, there seems to be lots of brood and I can see larvae. I'm not totally sure how to judge her brood pattern, it isn't is good as my other hive, but not sure that is bad either. What should be my course of action at this point?
I couldn't figure out how to post a picture... but one is located here

Cleanup efforts continue at Casino Pier and FunTown Pier in Seaside Heights, N.J., both amusement parks left in ruins from superstorm Sandy. Kristi Funderburk, Asbury Park (N.J.) Press
Amusement parks found a lot of their rides washed into the Atlantic.
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. — Though the owners of two iconic Jersey Shore amusement parks have vowed to rebuild, they can't finish by this summer.
Casino Pier's Jet Star roller coaster — a symbol of superstorm Sandy's devastation — remains at sea, one of five rides that fell from the largely broken pier.
STORY: Many beaches will be open by May
STORY: How politics nearly destroyed Shore
A half mile away at FunTown Amusement Pier, 90% of the rides are gone, too, as are some 8 in 10 of the pier's boards.
Nearly each tide brings pieces of rides, props and boardwalk ashore.
"We do feel like we're moving along," said Toby Wolf, Casino Pier spokeswoman. "Obviously, right after the storm when we first saw everything, it was very overwhelming. It was trying to figure out where to start."
Officials at Casino Pier, which opened in 1960, think they can have a portion of their pier open for Memorial Day weekend. Officials at FunTown Pier, which opened in 1980, anticipate reopening next year.
The amusement parks help make Seaside Heights' 2-mile, 16-block boardwalk a magnet to millions of tourists.
"They are like the box stores of a mall," said John Camera, borough administrator. "Everybody gets affected by what they do and what the borough does. They have their own draw."
Seaside Heights, known as the backdrop for Snookie Polizzi and friends on MTV's Jersey Shore, counts heavily on tourism not only for local businesses but also for beach and parking revenue for government coffers. An estimated 5% to 10% of taxable property was destroyed in the hurricane.
Fewer rides this summer will affect tourism, but Camera doesn't expect significant change. Visitors still will have beach and boardwalk access and may be interested in seeing the storm-ravaged shore as it is rebuilt, he said.
"I used to come here. It was nice," said Ed Thompson of Ware, N.J., who came to look at the damage with his girlfriend, Patty Oyola of Bayville, N.J. "There was always something going on. It was nice to come to and it's a shame to see the whole neighborhood the way it is."
Both were glad to hear that the piers will rebuild.
"I don't see it happening" quickly for FunTown, she said. "It's so bad."
Officials for both piers still are trying to calculate the cost of damage. Wolf said they know only that it will be in the tens of millions of dollars.
While reopening FunTown Pier is definite, when and with what isn't clear, Majors said.
"It's not going to be a fast thing, and we're not in a hurry," he said. This summer will be consumed with demolition and cleanup.
The damage left Casino Pier workers with about half of their pier, the lower deck, to work with in their rebuilding efforts. Home to mostly games of chance and kiddie rides, it will be re-imagined for a re-opening this year, Wolf said.
After this summer, workers will start driving pilings to restore the pier's upper deck.
Casino Pier officials also plan to have Breakwater Beach Waterpark and arcade ready for Memorial Day weekend. However further assessment of the waterpark and the arcade building is needed.
Debbie Karu, Casino Pier's operations manager, sees at least one silver lining in the destruction.
"As hard as it is now, we get to be part of the rebuilding," she said.
In New Jersey, superstorm Sandy destroyed several blocks of Atlantic City's world-famous boardwalk and wrecked several other boardwalks up and down the coast. A Seaside Heights roller coaster was left partially submerged in the ocean. (Oct. 31) AP

Amusements at a glance
- Casino Pier, which opened in 1960, sits at the heart of Seaside Heights. It includes rides and games, as well as an arcade and carousel. Before Sandy, the pier had 36 rides. Officials hope to open part of the pier for Memorial Day weekend.
- FunTown Amusement Pier, which opened in 1980, sits at the southern end of Seaside Heights and continues into Seaside Park. Before Sandy, it had 33 rides. Officials plan a summer 2014 re-opening.

HeartSafe - Saving Lives or Life Support for the Sequoia Healthcare District
Original post made by Jack Hickey, Woodside: Emerald Hills, on Nov 2, 2012
Ms. Scott failed to disclose a potential conflict of interest when she introduced the program to the board. Her Form 700 at the time showed that her spouse received income as a Senior Product Manager for Guidant Corp., a Medical Device Manufacturer who's products included defibrillators.
The program provided an opportunity for former Atherton police chief, Glenn Nielsen, to land a comfortable part-time job as Manager of the program. It seems that gathering anecdotal stories to promote the District was one of his responsibilities. This excerpt from an e-mail exchange between Glenn and Fire Chief Emil Picchi is enlightening.
Hi Emil,
You are attending the meeting next week, right? Starts at 9 AM and the coffee starts at 8 AM at Bolongerie.
Please please please call Don Shoecraft, our PR guy, at 650-594-0556 as soon as you can. He is working on a press release and needs some interesting anecdotes. He is also Cc'd on this email.
Thanks Buddy!
Glenn Nielsen
Sorry I am not able to get some cold hard facts and stats. Here is what I have received in response to uses from the guys. See you in the morning.

Just for the record, I would like to make it perfectly clear that I do not question the value of placing AED's and automated CPR devices into the hands of first responders nor the placement of AED's in publicly accessible locations. They are a morale booster to those first responders. Nor do I question the value of Nurses Education. I do question the motive of my colleagues on the board, who constitute a 4/1 majority, in promoting these programs. In the case of Heartsafe, San Mateo County Emergency Medical Services, who are mandated by law to maintain a database of publically accessible AED's are the logical agency for distribution of those devices. Other counties are pursuing that. And, with the proliferation of GPS enabled Smart Phones, Apps have evolved to instantly connect CPR trained individuals with victims, precise AED device locations and first responders. When the Sequoia Healthcare District is dissolved, the county will receive a share of it's assets and tax allocation. Supervisors will have an obligation to pursue that course of action
Placing a $20,000 Code Blue AED Tower adjacent to the Woodside Firehouse was a waste of tax dollars. More than 20 individual AED devices could have been prochured with that money. That was strictly a promotional ploy to endear the Sequoia Healthcare District with a select segment of our population. One look at the space given to that project in the Report to the Community illustrates my point. More than twice as much space was given to Heartsafe content promoting the District than was given to financial content.

I have created many topics on the Almanac Town Square Forum to inform the public of taxpayer funded activities and expenditures of the Sequoia Healthcare District. Links to some of those topics are included below. These activities were unintended by voters when they established the Sequoia Hospital District in 1946. The original purpose of the District was to build, operate and maintain Sequoia Hospital. Property taxes were assessed for that purpose with the full intention that the hospital would eventually become self- supporting. On the verge of bankruptcy, the District relinquished ownership of Sequoia Hospital with voter approval in a 1996 election. Following that, the District ignored civil grand jury recommendations and continued collection of property taxes originally assessed for hospital related expenses. They now operate as a pseudo-philanthropic organization.

In his revised CEO Report for the next Sequoia Healthcare District Meeting Web Link, Lee Michelson says the following: "It is our belief that the placement of AED's has been accomplished, the grantees understand that they are responsible for the annual maintenance, and that the program can move to the phaseout stage. As a result as of September 1st we will no longer employ a program manager. Former Atherton Chief of Police, Glenn Nielson, is the current program manager.

The apartment is really really nice, just exactly how it's shown on the pictures. We were really happy to stay there...very clean, very spacious and totally not far from the center (old town). I'd definitely recommend staying there. :)
Everything was clean, organized, and functional. I enjoyed my stay at the apartment and it was for a great price too. Also, the bathroom floor was heated! Thumbs up!
Very nice accommodation! Rooms are very clean and are nicely decorated. It is different than on the pictures though. Personnel is very helpful and friendly! definitely recommend staying here!City center is on walking distance (10-15 minutes) and supermarket, restaurants and public transport directly in neighborhood
(Late review, sorry!) Very lovely apartment, close by to all public transport needed. We would definitely recommend :) The area wasn't too busy, and is very near a little Tesco should you need to pick up any supplies. Thank you, Joe and Jess :)
There was some problem with the apartment and we were taken to a hotel 10 minutes further from the center instead... There, the bed was very unconfortable and small, the room old, tv not working, a heater not working, and way far on quality and standars compared with what we were supposed to have in the appartment, according to the price paid and the pictures.
overall, this accommodation experience would have deserved a 2/10, as I spent my time looking for something very specific that didn't finally get, but I have rated 7 because Natalia, in charge of the apartments, was super nice and sweet and did all she could to compensate us.
I had an amazing time. The apartment was beautiful, clean and equipped with everything. The staff were very helpful and informative helped me in everything. Also close to the center. EXCELLENT
Mi sono trovata benissimo. L'appartamento era bellissimo, pulitissimo e fornito di tutto. Il personale molto disponibile e gentile mi ha aiutata in tutto. Inoltre vicinissimo al centro. ECCELLENTE
It was a very nice appartment. Everything you could need was present.
Friendly people at the reception.
Just a little out of the center but not too far
The apartment is located relatively close to the historic center and is great to reach by public transport. It is very modern and nicely decorated and we felt very comfortable. The ladies at the reception were very nice and hilfsbereit.Einziger downside is the 4-lane street directly outside the house, if you do not but it is all too sensitive to noise, then that's not really a problem (we slept very relaxed).
In short, absolutely recommended!
Das Apartment liegt relativ nah am historischen Kern und ist super mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zu erreichen. Es ist sehr modern und hübsch eingerichtet und wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt. Auch die Damen an der Rezeption waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit.Einziger Wermutstropfen ist die 4-spurige Straße direkt vorm Haus, wenn man aber nicht all zu Geräuschempfindlich ist, dann ist das nicht wirklich ein Problem (wir haben sehr entspannt geschlafen).
Kurz: absolut empfehlenswert!
We had a wonderful stay in Prague. The apartment was great; very clean, big enough and the staff very accommodating and friendly! We definitely come again to Prague and will book there again our accommodation.
The parking for our car was safe and the room very centrally located in the immediate vicinity.
In the neighborhood there are shops directly, reasonably priced restaurants and a tram and metro station.
As the road "Legerova" and a four-lane busy road is, you just must not be sensitive to noise. We loved it (even with two children) did not bother. In addition, you have to open the windows for airing only because there is an air conditioner in the apartment.
A great value for money - we'll gladly come back !!!
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Prag. Das Appartement war spitze; sehr sauber, groß genug und das Personal äußerst zuvorkommend und freundlich! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall noch einmal nach Prag und werden wieder dort unsere Unterkunft buchen.
Der Parkplatz für unser Auto war sicher und in direkter Nachbarschaft, das Zimmer sehr zentral gelegen.
In dem Wohnviertel befinden sich direkt Geschäfte, preisgünstige Restaurants und eine Straßenbahn- und U-Bahn-Station.
Da die Straße "Legerova" eine vierspurige und stark befahrene Straße ist, darf man nur nicht lärmempfindlich sein. Uns hat es (auch nicht mit zwei Kindern) überhaupt nicht gestört. Außerdem muss man die Fenster nur zum Lüften öffnen, da sich im Appartement eine Klimaanlage befindet.
Ein tollen Preis-Leistungsverhältnis - wir kommen GERNE wieder!!!
- Quality assured accommodation

I will start with something very recent. I am working as an analyst, and one of my responsibilities (initiated by myself) is to do vulnerabilities scans, and eventually penetration testing.
It has been few month now since I am asking for permission to install Backtrack, on a VM, in the internal network. This it will help me to do other scans than Nessus, I can use Metasploit, Dradis... you get it.
My boss didn't want to take the responsibility to approve it, so it forwarded my request to a senior architect. Every week I kept asking for an answer.
Yesterday he told me that they will not approve it because Backtrack is not supported.
I told him that there is no need to support, because being a VM on my laptop, if it breaks, I will restore it or I will install another version.
But, he explained that they don't want to approve because I will be the only one in the company that will know how to use it, and if I will leave they will not be able to continue my work.
Imagine my frustration. I studied for so long, I am even doing OSCP paid by them, and now they do not accept it.
I know that there are other options. They will be happy with a commercial distribution, even if it isn't as good as Backtrack. They want something based on Red Hat, but I don't like the idea.
I prefer Backtrack because it is very easy to use, you have all the tools in one place, and it is very easy to update.
Unfortunately this isn't the only initiative denied by him (them) so I am becoming very unhappy at work. I even started to think about leaving.
I don't know which the best solution is, but I am tired to try to be creative and to be denied because he doesn't have an open mind.

Re: Remove powerweapons from TO
Don't do it NDI!
Power weapons are needed for flushing out Dragon Sniper Trolls and super campy kill farming jerks in T.O.
Do players sometimes dominate power weapons, and is that frustrating beyond reasonableness? Yes it is. Part of the game is controling Power Weapons that are placed on the map. Knowning when it was picked up (look at the in game clock), and knowing when to go back and look for it based on respawn time for the particular Power Weapon is part of the game across all COMP game modes.
Also, when people have the ability to super spam power weapons that spawn IN THEIR HANDS, there's not a whole lot one can do. You give it to 'em dirty with Power Weapons, and you TAKE it dirty from others via Power Weapons. Such is the way of the UC3 world.
Could things have been different if NDI did not rush this title out the door on Nov 1st, 2011? You're dam right it could have been, but it's a blindfire, melee, Power Weapon spammy kind of game. NDI designed it that way, they allowed for this to happen and really developed the TROLL aspect of their MP with this title.
Re: Remove powerweapons from TO
I have an idea, remove SirParvisMagna6 from the forums.
That way I can read through the forums in peace, and with the same intention as the OP, have something removed which I find disturbing.
Re: Remove powerweapons from TO[ Edited ]
I say why reward one man for running in the hill with a hammer and killing everyone I think gun battles are more fun with two teams fighting for the objective is more fun not waiting for a power weapon to respawn.
5 man party's always get more power weapons then you and me sorry to say I wish that wasn't true.
Snipers can always be killed without power weapons flank, G-MAL or grenades.
I know power weapons will never be removed because most of you love easy kills.

Well it has come time for me to finally get to work on my HIC. I have had a Stormrider full front panel laying on the floor for well over a year now.
The problem I have been trying to come up with a solution for is weight. I have been trying to come up with ideas on how to make a lightweight box that is also accurate in dimensions and details. I want to be able to take this to troops and other events without having to get out the forklift. I think I have come up with an idea that may work, but I wanted to run it by some others first.
I was thinking of building the box out of blue/pink foam board and then coating it in fiberglass. I would build up several layers of the foam board making the trapezoid shape and roundovers on the top. I would aslso make a slight recess in the top to inset the front panel in. Before putting the panel in I would coat the entire front and sides with a fiberglass shell. Do you think this would work? I don't know if the fiberglass will stick to the foam board or not. I guess the insets into the sides for the panels would act a little like keys to hold everything together, or I could put a fiberglass layer on the underside as well to hold it all together.
Just throwing out ideas.


text: while he is no sheed on the def end... he's getting better and has alot of room to improve. He took 2 charges down the stretch last night and a big rebound. I think the win with def down the end was a baptism by fire for alot of the new pistons. Another point but one that hasn't been made, while our def suffers greatly when Big Ben is on the bench the coaches seem to understand that he can only play so many mins a night. only 2 fouls and still only played 28 mins. Got to like the coaches approach so far this season.

text: This news item expired on Monday, June 30, 2014 so the information below could be outdated or incorrect. From: Adam G. Dale, Graduate Student & Steve Frank, Department of Entomology Since entomologists at NCSU have noted bagworms hatching in Raleigh, Buncombe County gardeners can be on the lookout for these tiny caterpillars with tiny upright bags anywhere bags may have been left from last year. Bagworms feed on plant foliage and can cause a significant amount of damage in a relatively short period of time. Although they mostly prefer conifers – junipers, Leyland cypress - they also infest maple, sycamore, oak, poplar and apple. The early caterpillar stage produces a silk bag on their posterior end that gradually collects plant tissue debris from them feeding. This creates a leafy bag that camouflages them and makes control difficult and/or time consuming. One of the most effective treatments is handpicking or cutting the female pupae bags from off the branches. Bagworms don't move much during their lifetime and so they are commonly found in dense populations within the same tree. These dense populations have the potential to kill conifers within one to two seasons, due to defoliation. There are chemical control options available that should be applied during the early stages of the caterpillars, typically during June and early July. As with many other pest insects, bagworms are susceptible to predation from parasitoids and birds that can also assist in their control. If you've had bagworms in the past or have evergreens in your garden now is the time to look closely at your plants and take action against them. For more information, call Buncombe County Cooperative Extension at 255-5522.

Excerpt: "The NFL won't announce the names of the "all-star" crew set to officiate Super Bowl XLVII until the conference championship games have been decided, but reports from several sources indicate that Jerome Boger, a league referee since 2006, will get this year's assignment. ESPN's Adam Schefterreported this on Jan. 13, and FootballZebras.com, a respected site that covers pro-level officiating, had the report around the same time.
And according to FootballZebras.com, Boger's qualifications to call the biggest sporting event in America might be questionable at best. Or, if not Boger's qualifications, certainly the process by which referees are allowed to contend for the Super Bowl. Per the site, who talked with Michael Signora, the league's vice president of football communications, "the criteria for referees to be eligible for the Super Bowl is three years experience as a referee [and five years total] and playoff experience as a referee. That criteria has not changed since at least 2007."
In a follow-up e-mail to the site, Signora stated that "In order for an official at any position to be eligible for the Super Bowl, he must have at least five years of NFL experience and either a conference championship game assignment or a playoff assignment in the Wild Card or Divisional round in three of the past five years."

As veteran enrollment in post-secondary education rises, new programs under development
EL PASO, Texas - (Nov. 2012 story)Danny Antunez is a first year student at The University of Texas, El Paso.
Antunez is studying criminal justice, inspired by his four years of service in the Marine Corps.
During his time in the military, Antunez was sent to Iraq and Afghanistan.
"I got out to try and, you know, get with society," Antunez said.
It's a task more difficult than it sounds, he added.
"I know a lot of people that have issues with getting back to the civilian life," Antunez said.
According to both UTEP and El Paso Community College, the number of student veterans is on the rise as more service members head home from overseas. Additionally, Fort Bliss is rapidly expanding.
As a result, both schools are working to carry the increasing enrollment rates through to graduation.
At the University of Arizona, courses known as "SERV" classes are offered.
SERV stands for "Supportive Education for Returning Veterans."
The cohort program consists of four courses, open only to veterans. Three are offered the first semester of a student veteran's coursework, and one more class is offered in the second semester.
The classes are worth three credits each, and are applicable to general education requirements for graduation.
"The overall goal is to foster a successful transition from the military to higher education, and in so doing, increase retention and graduation rates," said Cody Nicholls, University of Arizona's assistant dean of students for the VETS program, in a statement to ABC-7.
According to Nicholls, the courses have received positive feedback and produced a retention rate of more than 90 percent.
"Some active military may not have been in post secondary education for a while, so they do need those additional classes to kind of help them adjust," EPCC Veteran's Affairs Director Raul Lerma said.
Lerma said EPCC is considering several ways to keep veterans in school.
"There's been discussion. We've been working on programs like that, kind of transitional classes for our vets. There's been discussion of a VA center for our students. We just recently received some funding."
That funding, he hopes, can be used to help facilitate degree completion among active service members and veterans alike.
Antunez recalled starting college, and noted how courses like those offered at UA may be effective.
"I started out with crowd issues, or getting anxiety, things like that. So I think it would probably help," he said.
He also admitted the courses may not be for everyone. Some may find the classes to be a waste of school time, or find the classes unnecessary.
UTEP is also considering an increase in veterans' resources.
They currently offer a Military Services Center to students. There, veterans are offered assistance with financial aid and degree planning.
According to Chris Markin, a Military Services Center spokesperson, UTEP is also looking into a training program for faculty and staff. The program, which Markin said is used in other Universities in Texas, would help service members assimilate more easily.
For now, Antunez said the services center is just what he needs.
"They make the transition from the military to going to school, they make it, easier."

The PRIORITY DEADLINE for all financial aid applications at Washburn University is Feb. 15.Washburn Alumni AssociationAlumni Association legacy scholarship applicationFinancial Aid officeLearn about the FAFSA
For many prospective students, choosing a college is a difficult, even agonizing decision. For Riley Krane, the decision was about as easy as it gets.
"If I considered any other school, it was very briefly," said Krane, a freshman from Evergreen, Colo. "Going to Washburn has always made sense."
The son of Washburn alumni John Krane, ba '86, and Shelley (Jones) Krane, b ed '87, Riley is one of 83 students who received an Alumni Association scholarship for the 2012-13 academic year.
"It means a lot to me and my parents to receive the scholarship," said Riley, who was the student body president at Evergreen High School. "I know a lot of people apply for those scholarships, so it was exciting to be one of the students picked."
Attending Washburn isn't the only thing that runs in the family blood lines. Riley also inherited a love of sports from his parents, both of whom were athletes at Washburn. His mother played tennis as a Lady Blue, and his father played baseball as an Ichabod.
An all-conference performer in high school, Riley is continuing the family tradition and play baseball for longtime coach Steve Anson, who also coached John Krane.
"One of the things I take great pride in is coaching fathers and sons here," Anson said. "I think that's pretty special, to be able to say you've done that. That's one of the things I really enjoy."
In the younger Krane, Anson welcomes a shortstop who hit .521 and finished eighth in Evergreen's conference in slugging percentage. He also led his team to its first playoff appearance in 11 years.
"Being able to play baseball has a lot to do with going to Washburn, but it's a great fit, regardless," said Riley, a fan of Colorado Rockies' all-star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki. "I'm looking forward to getting there this fall and showing Coach Anson what I can do."
The Alumni Association awarded nearly $30,000 in scholarships for the 2012-13 academic year. All 83 students who received scholarships are legacies. A legacy student is either a Washburn alumnus/alumnae or has a parent, sibling or spouse who received a degree from Washburn or is attending the university.
"We're so pleased to be able to assist so many students," said Alumni Association Director Susie Hoffmann. "The scholarship program continues to be a wonderful resource for current and prospective Washburn students."
The Alumni Association's 5K Fun Run and Campus Walk and license plate program fund the scholarship program.
Apply for an Alumni Association scholarship before Feb. 15.

Where to start?
My concerns right now seem to be where to start and how to take advantage of the experience and knowledge I currently have and use it to benefit IT Security. Prior to working in ITV I did NT support and managed numerous Compaq and IBM servers from a hardware and software perspective for a major Insurance company. I have been reading steadily the recommendations of many other forum entries regarding training and certs. Right now I posess and have had for years an A+ certification as well as certification as and MCSE in Windows NT4. I have been trying to certify in LPI during the wee hours in between support calls. I have been interested in GEAC certs but cost and time have prohibited me. I have seen and have been reading about http://www.elearnsecurity.com as well as the Live hacking site. I have materials to study for CEH but where to start to create the greatest opportunity to enter the IT Security field.
There seems to be alot of knowledgeable folks and I am looking for first some guidance on how to make use of my real world experiences in corporate environments and possibly some recommendation on which certs right now would allow me to migrate into an IT Security role.
Thanks to all in advance

Discussion in 'GM Powertrain' started by WorkTruck 4.3, Aug 4, 2011.
what could be my issue? it only starts when i have the gas petal all the way to the floor.
Take the air cleaner off so you can see the injectors in the TBI. Have a helper crank the engine while you watch the injectors with a flashlight. Are they spraying fuel as soon as it starts cranking?
Dirty fuel filter??
i will have my wife turn the key as i watch when i get home... the fuel filter thats on now looks fresh out the box. but i did use star bright star tron the whole trip home so maybe it cleaned the fuel tank pretty good and clogged the fuel pump. on a side note... symptoms before it started jnot startingk where taking longer to start. hope its not the fuel pump, buy it maybe what you guys think?
Since you made no mention of running problems after it starts, I'm assuming it runs fine after it starts, so I would give the fuel pump & filter a free pass for now. (It's much easier to look at the injectors at this point than to get a FP tester & check the fuel pressure (although this may be in your future) If the injectors aren't spraying fuel when first cranking, then the ECU is not grounding the injectors for the start. This is usually due to the ecm in the dist. not sending a strong enough pulse during cranking (slow speed) While you have the hood up, look at the wires coming from the distributor. Do you have the 4 wire plug?
Almost definitely the coolant temp sensor. When they fail they tell the PCM the ambient temp is about 300 below zero. This causes the PCM to run a very rich mixture, usually to the point the engine won't start/run. When you put the pedal to the floor, it goes into flooded mode, and cuts fuel spray to almost zero. You need the sensor on the intake near the thermostat.
Okay guys this is getting interesting... I went outside and wiggled the spark plug wire and the other wires that are connected to the dizzy. It starts every time now, but I did not drive it around to confirm... plus the temp cooled down from 110 that it normally has been to 100 degrees. Sure the outside temp has a bit to do with this but. I will drive it around here in a sec and report back.
---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------
Oh I had the wife turn the key and the injectors spray just like normal, but we shall see!
---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------
Well I took it for a drive and it runs a little smoother plus it starts every time. We will see if this continues tomorrow and so forth.
Ok here's the run down of the truck it runs a little ruff, smokes white smoke, yet has good power like it should. The compression test results yeilded nothing lower than 179psi. after taking off the valve covers I saw some of the most buildup sludge I ever saw Never the less my dad put some gunk motor flush stuff in...... Why oh Why. The oil pump pick up clogged, so by the time I got to it I thought it was a fuel or trans issue. Pulled the oil pan and oil pump and knock out a hand full of sludge from the pick up screen I know that the valve seals need to be changed. I never had an engine that when you take off the valve cover about a quart of oil comes out??? I probed the cylinder head for drain holes and only found some closer to the intake( lookin at the engine head on the highest angle closest to the intake) Thus the reason I say the valve seal are bad.
Dang, sounds like you found your problem, sludge. That's never good. Sounds like you'll be doing a engine rebuild, or at least a header rebuild. I know the valve seals in these trucks are known to go bad if you don't take care of the oil on a regular basis.
When you take the valve cover off, it soundn't drain any oil, it sounds like the oil ports are clogged with sludge, hence, needing a engine rebuild, or a very good cleaning.
Separate names with a comma.

Jackett's call to experienced players
Kenny Jackett believes Wolves' most experienced players will have the knowledge and know-how to continue to bring on the club's young talent and help the team on their return to the Sky Bet Championship.
Players like skipper Samuel Ricketts, Carl Ikeme, Richard Stearman and Dave Edwards all boast experience at that level and also above, whilst Jackett also views Danny Batth as a leader when it comes to being out on the pitch.
Stearman and Edwards are both out of contract at the end of next month, but Jackett has already strongly hinted at trying to keep both at Molineux if possible.
"Quite often when you move senior players out, there becomes a space for someone else," says Jackett.
"At 26, I would suggest Richard Stearman knows enough – he has been here through good times and bad times and is a good player.
"And in a position where you do need to lead – centre back – it's a big position.
"Carl Ikeme was understudy for Wayne Hennessey for quite a long time and it's now his shirt and his club, and Stearman the same.
"Dave Edwards is a similar age and has played in good and bad Wolves teams in various divisions and has a lot of experience.
"He's a very good professional and is very good around the place, and all of these are generally very well thought of as a people.
"So as senior players go, the older ones need to assume the responsibility, and it does happen.
"Now, as they develop, they have to stand up and be counted and lead the club.
"Danny Batth is a little bit younger but, as senior professionals move out, there is space for someone's personality to develop.
"My job is to make sure it's the right personality and that it does develop in the correct way.
"But there are opportunities for that group and I'd suggest Sam Ricketts already assumes it, but the goalkeeper and two centre backs need to be leaders."
Jackett meanwhile says he will be assessing the squad's younger players and those out on loan both prior to and during pre-season as he shapes his plans for the new campaign.
Wolves have a host of players out on loan, many of whom are unlikely to be in Jackett's plans, and he says their situations will become clearer closer to the time the team returns for pre-season training.
Those younger players who have been out on loan this season will be monitored as they return to see whether they will be considered ready to make the step-up to the Championship.
"It very much depends on how many come back and where they are individually, said Jackett.
"There are a lot of them that are quite individual cases: Cassidy, Iorfa, Ismail - the younger group coming back.
"If one of those changes and we think: 'He looks a man, he didn't look that before' ... but anyway the young players on loan is one group, the foreign players is another and then the ones who are out on loan: Roger, Kevin Doyle and Stephen Ward - those guys who are all good enough to get clubs. "Do they come back here back nobody has come in for them?
"So almost every individual will be judged.
"I've got in my head where we are and, speaking to the people I work for, if we start on June 25th, we could almost leave that until June 18th or June 20th.
"If I assess the situation a week before we come back, I think then we will have a clearer view. Up until then I think I will be speculating on everybody else."
Connor Ronan admits that he isn't expecting to walk into the first....
