C.H. Robinson Introduces Navisphere(R) Technology Platform
Eden Prairie, MN, Nov 19, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc., one of the world's largest transportation and logistics companies, introduces Navisphere(R), the next version of the company's single global technology platform, which provides end-to-end visibility, consistent business processes, and strategy-driven business intelligence around the world.
The Navisphere platform is C.H. Robinson's response to increasingly sophisticated supply chain requirements across shippers of all sizes. The platform is used by C.H. Robinson employees, customers, and service providers to manage transportation and sourcing activities on a global scale.
In addition to deploying deeper multi-service integration to users, the release of Navisphere brings significant improvements to online tools for C.H. Robinson customers. The updates to Navisphere online access include a modernized user interface, streamlined access to business-critical data, and customization to support customer requirements across global workflows.
"Navisphere allows companies of all sizes to take advantage of the latest technology architecture C.H. Robinson has to offer," said Tom Mahlke, chief information officer at C.H. Robinson. "Navisphere provides tools that are easy to use and intelligence that gives businesses the opportunity to follow through on their supply chain strategies." Navisphere allows customers to leverage C.H.

By having access to all their supply chain information in one centralized location, users can better manage their logistics spend, foster optimization, and improve supply chain productivity.
"Navisphere's customized business processes enable all participants in a customer's supply chain to comply with their specific business requirements. Simplifying complex scenarios creates real value for carriers, shippers and others in the supply chain," said Mahlke.
By integrating with a shipper's ERP system, Navisphere automates workflows between transportation and business operations and provides visibility to global transportation across all modes. This gives customers greater control over their supply chain activities and accelerates proactive problem resolution.

Additional boxes contain information on trafficking for domestic servitude, street crime and begging, and sexual exploitation.
The boxes are being installed at high-profile venues around London; to find a box during the Olympics and Paralympics click here. Volunteers will be on hand at all boxes to answer questions about the project, and provide visitors with further information on how to get involved in efforts to combat human trafficking.
The organizers are using the momentum of the Olympic Games bring attention to human trafficking. "Even as the athletes prepare for their arrival in the United Kingdom in pursuit of their dream of winning gold, other men and women are being forced into coming to the country in search of a better future, only to find that for them there is only ever one winner - their trafficker," reads the GIFT box website.

While it is not possible to summarize the 2000-plus page document here, there are some highlights of the affordable health care act that you should know that are currently in effect and those that will go into effect in the next few years.
According to the Affordable Care Act,* the face of health care coverage is changing. By law, insurance plans that went into effect after March 23, 2012 have to meet certain requirements. If you have had health insurance for the past year, you may want to check with your insurance company to see what these changes mean to you.
If you purchased a new plan after March 23, you may see some changes. You may now have:
Access to free preventive services such as certain screenings, counseling, routine vaccinations, flu and pneumonia shots and regular well-baby check-ups.
The right to keep your young adult child on your plan until he or she is 26 years of age, even if your child does not live with you, is married, does not depend on you for financial support and is no longer in school. (There are a few exceptions; if you had group health or employer health insurance before March 23, 2010, check with your employer to see if your child qualifies.)
The Affordable Care Act also:
Provides access to health insurance care plans without limit or denial of benefits for your child or young adult (up to age 19) if he or she has a pre-existing disease or disability. (If your health plan was in place before March 23, 2010, it may be exempt. Call your health care provider to verify coverage.)
May allow many adults who have been uninsured for at least 6 months and have been denied coverage because of pre-existing condition to enroll in the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP).Adults may enroll in the Standard Plan, the Extended Plan and the Health Savings Account eligible plan. Children may be enrolled at child-only rates. These plans may vary by state. Visit www.healthcare.gov for more information.
Employer health and individual insurance plans purchased after March 23, 2010 can no longer specify lifetime dollar limits on care, although health insurance plans can limit the annual dollar amount of non-essential health services.
The Affordable Care Act also helps close the coverage gap for people in the Medicare Part D "doughnut hole." These are the people who pay the full amount for their drugs after they reached the drug spending limits of their health plans. Under the Affordable Care Act, they will get a 50 percent discount on name-brand prescription drugs and a 7 percent discount on generic prescription drugs. Over the next 10 years there will be even more savings on prescription drugs. People enrolled in "Extra Help," a program that helps people pay for their drugs are not eligible for the automatic discount.
People currently receiving Medicare Part-B can now receive yearly wellness exam, as well as preventive screenings for cholesterol, diabetes, certain types of cancer and other diseases at no cost to them. Visit www.healthcare.gov for a complete list of services.
People who will be enrolling in Medicare Part B, will be welcomed to the program with a "Welcome to Medicare" physical at no cost during the first 12 months of coverage. Twelve months after the initial exam, patients can get a yearly wellness exam to update or develop a care plan with their health provider.
Small businesses with 25 employees or less may qualify for tax credits if they meet certain eligibility requirements. This tax credit will increase in 2014.
As of January 1, 2014, insurance companies will cover everyone, even those people with pre-existing conditions or disabilities. In addition, premiums will no longer be based on gender and health status.
The health insurance shopping process will be more streamlined. Health insurance plans will have to offer a list of key health benefits and coverage, which will make it easier to make a decision when purchasing insurance. Some of these benefits include:
Most people will be to buy health insurance that covers essential health benefits. There may be financial assistance to those who cannot afford the cost. People who do not purchase insurance will pay a fee ranging from $695 to $2,085 depending on their income. People who would have to pay more than eight percent of their monthly income to by insurance may be exempt.
Annual dollar limits on how much care a health insurance plans will cover will not be allowed in most instances. Though some health plans may be eligible to opt out.
Individuals and small companies will be able to purchase health insurance through state-based exchanges. All health insurance plans in the exchange must offer the essential health benefits. Tax credits may be offered to people who can't afford to purchase the insurance.
People earning less than 133 percent of the federal poverty level, will be eligible to enroll in Medicaid no matter which state they live in.

Oct 7, 2012 - The Associated PressCHEYENNE -- The new $13 million Southeast Wyoming Welcome Center along Interstate 25 is holding an open house Oct. 12.
State tourism director Diane Shober says tourism is a vital industry in Wyoming.
She says the welcome center at the new High Plains Road exit near the Colorado border can direct visitors to spots they otherwise might have missed.
The previous welcome center was on the west side of I-25 instead of the east in a spot that was difficult for people to reach after they entered the state. The new welcome center also houses the Wyoming Office of Tourism.

A lost Romanian tourist survived on the streets of London for four days with just £20 in his pocket thanks to the kindness of strangers.
Vasile Belea, 63, visiting London from Romania, was separated from his son by closing Tube doors at Stockwell station. The father-of-two who speaks no English, said he tried twice to explain to police officers that he was lost but gave up when they were unable to understand him.
He had no money on his Oyster card, no SIM-card in his phone and was not carrying medication for his arthritis.
Instead, he relied on the hospitality of shops and restaurants who looked after him unaware he was at the centre of a frantic city-wide search.
His daughter-in-law Olimpia Belea today told the Standard: "He knew it was important not to be cold and not to get wet so he stayed in shops during the day. During the night he walked continuously so as to not fall asleep or get stiff with his arthritis.
"He walked tens of miles, hoping that at the next corner he would find himself in a familiar place. He stayed at a betting shop on the second evening and at an Indian restaurant the third evening.
"He bought milk and sandwiches, being very careful with his money. On the last evening at an Indian restaurant he was given five sandwiches. He was so thrifty with his resources that he didn't eat them all, and when we finally found him he still had two left that we ate together."

Mr Belea also had £3 of the original £20 note left over.
Miss Belea said: "People helped him. He said 'I love London - everyone is very kind.'"
Mr Belea was eventually 15 miles from Stockwell in Southall, west London, after he spotted someone reading a newspaper article featuring his photo, who then called police.
When his daughter Alina Belea, in her late 20s, picked her father up from Acton police station at 10.15pm on Friday he had been on the streets for almost four full days.
She said: "He had lost a lot of weight and he was tired, he was not in a very good way. He didn't look good. It was very emotional. We thought he was dead."
After being separated from his son Ciprian, Mr Belea had taken the following train to the next station, while Ciprian had returned to Stockwell.
After waiting on the platform for over an hour, Mr Belea decided to make his own way to his son's house in Sutton, south London, but did not know how to navigate the underground.
Ms Belea said: "On the first day he tried to speak to two police officers but they didn't understand him. He gave up and hoped we would find him.
"My father is a very brave man and very optimistic. He knew nothing could happen to him. He was very driven to get back home. He said everyone was so nice and everyone was trying to help but they didn't realise he was a missing person. We were so scared and we are so thankful that he is okay."
Mr Belea had come to the UK to spend Christmas with his son. The pair had been to church on Tuesday morning to celebrate his son's birthday and were on their way back home when they became separated.
He is due to return to Romania at the end of the month.

Not suitable for veggies.
Pretty disgusting that this 'treat' is coloured using insects! Totally unnecessary. Won't purchase until this changes.... Is it me, or did Mr Kipling cakes used to be classy with good quality ingredients, now they're just cheap tat. Much safer to make your own and know what you're eating!

Perfectly Formed
Just like a tiny Battenberg cake, they could do with ever so slightly more jam though.

Nice but veggies beware!
Bought these the other day for myself and the children to eat after the school run - went down a treat! Very sweet, but as they are quite small that's not a problem. Only thing I realised after scoffing one is that it isn't vegetarian as it contains cochineal - a good description of what happens to the beetles is on Wikipedia! This is a shame as many other Mr. Kipling products are. So until that can be altered that was my first and last one! If you're not bothered by such things these are a nice little treat though.

Nut Allergy? You Can Eat These!
My nut allergy has worsened over time which means that I know about and miss all the delicious nut-based foods I can no longer eat. I was thrilled when I read the ingredients list on the box to find that the 'marzipan' on these is just a collection of sugary things with almond flavouring! I love these Battenburgs.

Lunch box treat
My children love these in their lunch box. Too sweet for my adult palate though it doesn't stop me from scoffing one!

If you've searched through the Statalist Archives at all, you'll have noticed that in general many people do not support the use of stepwise regression for multiple valid reasons. Why not just fit a model to your data that is supported by your theory with a regular linear regression model instead?

Hmm...they actually seem darker green in person, but that's pretty close.
Any ideas on how to cover up the hole cut for the clock? I cut it as perfectly as I could, but it still looks... cut. I was thinking of finding the same color plastic as the map light housing, and just extending it from the map lights over the rectangle for the clock, so instead of looking at a cut-out in the headliner, you're looking at cut-out in the grayish tan plastic.
Maybe find a piece of plastic at a hardware store and cut it to work out for what you want.
That would work. Fab something up. Cheap, and you can make it look any way you want.Originally posted by srvc

Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies can finally be vindicated. Her famous words, "I only indulge for medicinal purposes" is rooted in more than drunken history. Gin was, in fact, first distilled for medicinal purposes.
Ron & Sharon Tyler Herbst's book The Ultimate A-to-Z Bar Guide, define gin as, "A distilled liquor made from grain and flavored with juniper berries."
The "Father of Gin", to most libation historians, was Dutchman Franciscus de la Boe. Also known as Dr. Sylvius, a professor at Holland's University of Leiden, the good Doctor attempted to create medicine for the prevention of kidney disorders, by developing an alcohol-based medicinal infused with the medical properties of the juniper berry.
This was revolutionary due to his use of cheap and abundant grain as opposed to the employment of expensive fruit derived alcohol - the norm of that day. The oil of juniper was known to have therapeutic properties as an appetite stimulant, sedative, headache reducer and stomach soother, to mention just a few.
The Dutch called it jenever (juniper), the French called it genievre - the later being the name Dr. Sylvius gave to his new concoction. Soon, the medicinal drink, became popular in Holland and other parts of Europe. There is some debate as to how gin was introduced to England; however, most believe that British soldiers were the ones responsible for its introduction, witnessing its curative properties and dubbing it "Dutch courage". It quickly became the popular drink "gin" and has since become a staple English favorite.
Gin's popularity was even given a lift by the religious politics of the day. In 1689, when William of Orange became King of England, he encouraged laws to hurt the Catholic French and aid the Protestant Dutch. He taxed French wines and liquors and encouraged the import of Dutch gin. The British population responded with open arms.
By 1710, British consumption of alcohol was up to 19 million gallons, and it is estimated that 20 per cent of households housed gin. Drunkenness was pervasive and gin became so popular that it was illegal by Act of Parliament in 1736. However, the law was hastily reversed six years later after it was discovered that contraband gin was considerably more toxic than the official spirit. The Industrial Revolution created a workforce, that wanted to spend its wages in better surroundings than squalid gin shops. Large and fanciful gin palaces became all the rage, laying the foundation for today's pubs and restaurants. Gin fell out of favor with the upper class until the later parts of the Victorian Era, where its mixed appreciation - 2 parts sordid, working class connotation and 1 part popularity - garnered it a euphemism among Victorians - "white wine." But with the introduction of the highbrow gin & tonic, gin, once again, started gaining in popularity.
During the great cocktail (r)age of the 20's and 30's, gin was part of very self-respecting drinker's repertoire. Throughout prohibition in the United States and Canada, bathtub gin became a common libation. Bathtub gin was made by placing a large quantity of low- quality spirit in a bathtub and adding juniper oil and other flavorings and letting it to soak for a few days. Some contend that many outlandish cocktails of the Jazz Era owe their inspiration to disguising the disgusting taste of bathtub gin.
Plymouth Gin is a distinctly drier gin than the London brands. Its history dates back to the Royal Navy. Tradition holds that the Royal Navy used Plymouth Gin and Angostura bitters to concoct the first pink gin which they consumed to protect against tropical diseases. There is only one distiller of Plymouth gin, Coates and Co., located at the Blackfriars Distillery in the center of Plymouth.
Dutch Genever is quite a different drink than English gin, owing to the pungent flavor of the grain mash from which it is derived. The mixture of barley, rye and corn is thoroughly malted, giving the older spirits a light ale tinge in color. There are two grades, Oulde(Old) and Jonge(Young), the latter looking more like the English variety. They frequently come in an opaque stone bottle. Today, Genever is widely consumed in the Netherlands but is not used for cocktails because of its pronounced flavor; rather, it is consumed in the same manner as Scandinavian Schnapps or Aquavit: neat or with quantities of Dutch beer.
Now, if you will excuse me, all this keying has my rheumatism acting up. I believe I'll have me a bit of the medicine...Granny would surely approve.

I don't really like typing "About Me" 's, and this is all I have for this one.
Wow, this is pretty much the most I've typed for one.
... Awkward silence.
Most of my posts and stories are going to be short and sweet, and I like ending alot of posts in cliffhangers.
But don't worry; I make new posts VERY quickly.
The story that I want to focus on at the moment is called Breeze.
It's a Teen fiction Romance with some Action and everything else.
If you've already read the prologue, and if you think it's going to be all fluffy and cheesy the whole way down, you are horribly mistaken.
I am a man of many surprises.
Anyways, check it out, become a fan if you want, and keep in touch! ;D <3

The Outlaw Josey Wales
From Wikiquote
The Outlaw Josey Wales is a 1976 Western movie set at the end of the American Civil War, based on the novel "Gone to Texas" by Forest Carter
Josey Wales[edit]
- [to bounty hunter] Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy.
- Hell with them fellas. Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms.
- There ain't no forgettin'.
- Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.
- [while aiming his scoped rifle at a ferry rope] Well, Mr. Carpetbagger we've got something in this territory called the Missouri boat ride.
- Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle 'Dixie'?
Grandma Sarah[edit]
- We'll do without molasses. Anything from Missouri has a taint about it.
- [to Abe, his fellow bounty hunter] He's mean as a rattler, and twice as fast with them pistols.
- [to Lige] You pull his teeth, he's harmless as a heel hound. Always wanted to face down one of these pistol fighters they raise all the fuss about. Only way to handle them.
Lone Watie[edit]
- We thought about it for a long time, "Endeavor to persevere." And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.
- I didn't surrender neither. But they took my horse and made him surrender...Now he's pullin' a wagon up in Kansas.
- All I have is a piece of hard rock candy. But it's not for eating. It's just for looking through.
- You know she thinks I'm some kind of a Cherokee chief.
- Young Confederate: Whupped 'em again, didn't we Josey?
- Josey Wales: I reckon so.
- Josey Wales: Whenever I get to likin' someone, they ain't around long.
- Lone Watie: I notice when you get to dislikin' someone, they ain't around long, neither.

Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington confirmed to MLB.com Saturday [1]that the team has talked to Pedro Martinez about joining the organization in some capacity in the future.
"We've had discussions," Cherington told MLB.com. "He knows there is a role waiting for him when the time is right for him."
Martinez, who was in Boston attending the Greater Boston Sports Collectors Club convention, also discussed the recently agreed upon two-year, $26 million contract for designated hitter David Ortiz, whom the former Sox pitcher was planning to have dinner with Saturday night.
"I think Boston learned from their own experience what the fans and the players feel about Boston, and I think that they did a great job at signing David and bringing him back and probably have him finish his career here in Boston," Martinez said. "He earned it, and I think the Red Sox totally understand that David belongs here. ... David is a guy that's well-liked by everybody: young, old, veterans, everybody. Management, and also the fans. I think the fans are really behind David, and they shouldn't have one more sour grape to give to the fans at this point."

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius has been on a tear lately: breaking news on the files found in Osama bin Laden's Abbottabad safe house, revealing details of the backchannel negotiations between Erdogan and Ayatollah Khamenei, and now, channeling the Obama administration's negotiating strategy toward Iran.
At a time when Thomas Friedman is writing his 35th column complaining about the state of America's train system and urging New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to launch a third-party bid for the presidency, Ignatius is far and away America's must-read columnist right now. Iggy has always been known for his top-notch sources, especially in the intelligence community, but his columns seem especially well-sourced of late — it's almost as if he has a weekly lunch with Tom Donilon or something.
Let's take a look at his latest. Ignatius says that "the smart money in Tehran is betting on a deal" — picking up on a rise in the Iranian stock market to argue that a nuclear agreement is in the offing. "So far," he writes, "Iran is following the script for a gradual, face-saving exit from a nuclear program that even Russia and China have signaled is too dangerous. The Iranians will bargain up to the edge of the cliff, but they don't seem eager to jump." According to Ignatius, under this deal, "Iran would agree to stop enriching uranium to the 20 percent level and to halt work at an underground facility near Qom built for higher enrichment. Iran would export its stockpile of highly enriched uranium for final processing to 20 percent, for use in medical isotopes."
In exchange, Iran would get … nothing, at least right away. Ignatius suggests that the Europeans would agree to delay implementing their oil embargo, set to take effect July 1, and the Americans would delay their own fresh round of sanctions due to be implemented in late June.
Frankly, I don't see how this can work. There do seem to be signs that Khamenei is laying the political groundwork for a deal, for instance by bringing his pragmatic former president, Ali Hashemi Rafsanjani, back into his good graces. But any deal that doesn't visibly benefit Iran — rather than merely preventing future harm — will inevitably be viciously attacked within the country's fragmented political system. And I suspect, given his past behavior, that the supreme leader will stick his finger in the air before staking out a clear public position.
It seems equally unlikely that President Obama will risk handing an electoral issue to his rival Mitt Romney by making any real concessions to Tehran. Americans may not be eager to fire up the B-52s — and the Pentagon certainly isn't — but they don't want to see their president look weak. And even if Obama did cut a deal, Republicans and pro-Israel groups would likely make a lot of noise, and might even be able to derail it.
Then there's Israel, which has set the bar extremely high for these negotiations, insisting among other things that Iran shut down its Fordow enrichment plant — the one it spent years building in secrecy and burying 200 meters beneath a mountain outside the city of Qom at a cost of millions of dollars. Indeed, everything the Obama administration agrees to apparently has to be vetted with the Israelis, who have completely unrealistic notions about what Iran is willing to accept.
Moreover, the intricately choreographed arrangements of the type Ignatius suggests seem hard to imagine given the deep levels of distrust between the two sides. It beggars belief to think that two countries whose diplomats will barely even sit in a room with one another can work out "confidence-building measures" that will survive the political maelstrom news of a deal would unleash. We are not anywhere close to a Nixon going to China moment, in any sense of that hackneyed historical analogy.
What will most likely happen, as Time's Tony Karon lays out here, is that the can gets kicked further down the road: Talks will proceed for the sake of talks, and a decision about whether to bomb will be deferred until at least November (unless Iran crosses a red line like installing next-generation centrifuges at Fordow).
All of which is a long-winded way of saying that if you want to know what the Obama administration is thinking, read David Ignatius. But don't expect to be optimistic once you do.

World War 2 in the Pacific. Light easterly winds. Visibility 23,000 yards. Hot as Hades.
The British cruiser force steamed north through the islands, hunting for Japanese ships. A coastwatch observer had alerted them to a small Japanese force in the vicinity. The Japanese were aware that the islands were used as a base to refuel and rearm Allied submarines, but the Japanese force did not know exactly where.

Tommy Tuberville Press Conference Quotes - Nov. 12, 2013
Nov. 12, 2013
Tommy Tuberville Press Conference Quotes
Opening Statement:
"We are getting ready for another game this week. We are coming off a big win for us, after only playing one game in about 21 days; we needed to get into some kind of rhythm. Now we have three games in 21 days, so we are going to find out a lot about our team. Last week we held our ground, I thought we played one of our better games through three quarters, and then one quarter we didn't play as well. But, our execution is getting better on both sides. We have some guys healthy, Chris Burrell is back, who got hurt in the second game of the year, he broke his collarbone and had an operation, and now he's back, so he'll have an opportunity to play this week. Trenier Orr, starting corner at the beginning of the year, practiced last week, he should have a chance to play this week. He is a lot better; he also had an operation about eight weeks ago on his knee. So we are getting a few guys back in certain areas that we need back, because we are running out of depth and these two games in eight days once we get to Saturday is going to be pretty crucial to playing a lot of guys on both sides.
"Rutgers is one of the teams I have not yet coached against, I do know that over the last ten years, they are much improved as a football program; they have put a lot of money into a lot of advances. This is the last time that we will play them in our conference; they are going to the Big 10. But very similar to us, they are a running team, a passing team, one back, two back, multiple fronts, they have an experienced quarterback that has played very well in his tenure there. Defensively, again, they are very similar; four-man front, but play multiple looks, man and zone coverage. They have had some injuries, but it looks like they are getting their running back back on offense. They've had a week off, due to an open date. We've had several times this year where we have had to play a team that has had 14 days to prepare for us. So, it should be interesting going up into the northeast, don't know what the weather is going to be like, again, I have not coached up there much, but we are just going to prepare for it like we would here. Our guys are excited about going onto the road, should be a huge crowd, they had a big win against Temple, two weeks ago on the last play of the game. They are working to get bowl eligible, luckily for us we are already bowl eligible, but we want to finish out November strong. We got a good start last week, and we have two more this month, then one more in December, and we will finish it off, but we are still in the race for the championship with only one loss. We can't control our own destination, but in terms of bowl games and how we will finish in the rankings at the end of the year, the only thing we can do is go out and play the best we can, and win as many as we can. Our guys yesterday had a day off, which I don't normally give on a Sunday. We had practice yesterday however, we had a good practice, good team meetings, and we will have another good practice today. It will be a little cool, so we will go inside and start using our bubble this week, and mainly use it for concentration, and get a good game plan in, on all three phases and go play this Saturday at noon."
On if they changed anything in the run game vs. SMU going into the third quarter:
"I think it was a commitment we challenged them on the sideline we challenged them all week knowing that if we give a lot of possessions to a team like SMU they are going to score at least every possession whether three points or a touchdown or every other possession. We kind of took the air out of it, holding the ball 22 minutes in the second half compared to their eight, they only had three possessions they punted once and they two 95-yard drives. But running the football I think it's crucial to have and success against all teams whether you run it or not just the ability to run it and the defensive coordinator on the other side understands that hey they can run or throw, and I think it gives us an edge. So running the football has been good to us all year long we've been up and down, to my amazement we are leading the conference in rushing and I would've not thought that but we have gotten better and better as the year has gone on. (Jordan) Luallen has been a big part of that and all three running backs have played pretty well; Hosey (Williams) played an excellent game last week he is a guy that's got very good vision and understand how to run a couple of running plays that we run. It's good to have a fresh guy every week to play running back but our running game has gotten better because our offensive line has really worked on it hard throughout the year. We were very average at the beginning of the year and we've gotten much better and it's all going back to number one calling plays but also working your technique and fundamentals in the offensive line during the week."
On the difference about preparing to play two conference road games:
"It's much a mindset, I'm one of those that talk your players all week about relaxing, enjoying the trip but understanding it's a business trip. It's not a trip were you're going to go and just play it's something you have to focus on even more than you do when your home. It's hard to play on the road it's hard to concentrate in a different environment, traveling 70 guys, hotels, playing on a different field; it sometimes takes its toll but you find out more about your football team when you're on the road. You find out how good you are how consistent you are and how focus your players get. So last time we played on the road against Memphis we were pretty good not great we got to improve to have a chance win either of these two games coming up. We will play two teams that are probably the better of teams that we've played this year. So it will be challenge for us to go to New Jersey and play whether it's going to be cold or warm or snow or rain it doesn't make any difference. We just have to prepare and I think you set that whole tone in your meetings all week long with your coaches and talk about it at practice and understand what you are getting into."
On the biggest reason for Brendon Kay's improvement throughout the season:
"I think he has just gotten more comfortable in what we're doing and I think that ability to put both of those slots in the game has really helped us after the fourth game of the year. He has a lot of confidence in those guys and a lot of times we throw check downs to them and meaning it's a shorter pass, if he goes through his reads and outside guys aren't open or the right slots not open he knows the other guys are very confident if they get close to him they will catch the ball. So Shaq (Washington) and (Anthony) McClung have really done a good job with Brendon, and Brendon has been able to get the ball there and go through his reads and again you have to understand he is experienced. He made a couple of bad throws last week that we would like to have back but he usually doesn't force the ball and he is going to get it to the guy that is more open than anybody else. But I'm proud of Brendon his percentage of completion is outstanding he usually makes all the good reads and he has been beat up. Over the last few weeks he has gotten a little bit better each week and this week I think he will be stronger than the last two weeks but he has played through a lot of adversity and I think the running game has helped and Jordan. So it's been a complete years of work to help Brendon become a better quarterback with all the other pieces coming together helping him out because you can't do it by yourself has a quarterback. He is not the type of quarterback that they had the other day at SMU, throw it 50-60-70 times a game and he has the arm to do it but I just think his movement in the pocket is not quite as good as that other guy Garrett Gilbert. I mean that kid can run and make decisions but that's their offense they care not to run the ball and I think running the football has helped Brendon with more time in the pocket, we've only given up nine sacks which has to be close in the top ten in the country and that's amazing as many times as we've thrown the ball."
On how important it is to get to the QB to force turnovers:
"Yeah he has turn the ball over, we know how that is we're close to the bottom of the pack in the country of turnover ratio of being on the plus side and the games that we've lost we has just turned it over. They probably can go back and look at theirs and he would love to have some throws back and some fumbles. But the thing about it is he makes up for those plays; he is a guy that can make a big play even though he is kind of like Brendon (Kay). So you go look at last week he made a couple of mistakes in the Temple game and got them behind and they caught up and on a fourth and five last play of the game on a blitz he knew he was going to take a hit but he the guy perfectly down the sideline for a touchdown that won the game. So very similar quarterbacks he and Brendon this week in terms of playing quarterback, experience, using your running backs, putting the ball around field and get different receivers to make big plays. But turnovers for them have hurt them and turnovers for us have hurt us."
On not generating takeaways:
"We haven't gotten many takeaways and I think there have been games were we have gotten a few more but like last week we turned it over three times and they didn't have any. You're not going to beat an SMU if you do that very often I mean that just doesn't happen we had to play almost every other place to make that happen. Which it was in our running game which I thought was the deciding factor. But it's just one of those things you go in spurts of turnovers and sometimes they just happen. Brendon threw two interceptions last week and he threw into coverage through the wrong guy and made a bad decision. As long as you make enough good decisions to make up for those you have a chance and he is good enough to do that as well as Nova is good enough to do that for Rutgers. But you can't put an inexperience guy in the game and he makes a couple of bad decisions and he is going to go into the tank and not pull the trigger the rest of the game. So that's the difference between an experience player and a non-experience player; so we can't go these next three games and not get any turnovers and say we're going to win all three of them that's not going to happen. We've got to be able to get some turnovers and makes so things happen and we were close to getting a couple of interceptions last week but when somebody throws it 50 times and you don't get an interception that means you're not doing a very good job with underneath coverage. We didn't play that much man coverage, man coverage you usually don't get a lot of interceptions because you're not looking at the ball you're playing the receiver more; it usually comes in over thrown passes and zones and somebody tipping the ball and getting an interception. So mainly we have to be better at breaking on the ball playing receivers closer playing a lot better zone coverage pass rush and force bad throws. Even though we had a pretty decent pass rush last week we didn't force any awkward throws from their quarterback so it's a team defense and it doesn't happen because you're secondary and linebackers, you can also blame you D-line for not creating turnovers.
On what the magic number is for them in the turnover column:
"I would say three, if you get three you really won't worry about the other team because if they get one or two or possibly three it's a wash but you can't go zero and three like we did last week and have chance. You can go back and look at it there miss two fields goals is like a turnover and then we kicked the onside kick and got the onside kick and so they are not turnovers but they're pretty close to it."
On the accuracy of the defense being highly ranked the majority of the year:
"We've played pretty well, we've played pretty good defense considering some of the situations we have been in this year with injuries. But I really don't look at the yardage, if you look at the game last week they had over 400 yards passing and I look at the points scored and we're around 18 a game but I would like to be around 15 a game. I think that is more realistic of points scored because sometimes it's unrealistic if they have made two of their field goals last week that would have been 31 points and we would have been on the other side of the win lost column. But as a head coach I would like to keep it around 15 throughout the year, some are going to go a little higher and some might hopefully get a little less but if you keep it around 15 I'd say your successful on defense. I think sometimes you look at the yardage gain, rushing and passing it has a lot to do with the other teams you are playing but the points are more of a standard of how you should go and play on defense."

popping at top end
I just installed a Crete 350 all new parts...the timing is between 11-12 degrees. when i get into 3rd gear or get on it there is a popping sound. it doesn't do this when there is no load on the motor...just when i am pushing it...I think my advance is out of whack...
can someone tell me how to adjust the advance...it is a vacuum advance and i never played with on so i do not know where it belongs...
Also i have an eld. 650 carb. I am not able to get this thing to run clean...it seems to be running very rich...i am not sure which of the two screws is air / gas...can anyone tell me how far they should be adjusted or how to adjust the carb...it seems to run no matter what i do with it.
I would set the timing to 12 degrees before top dead center with the vacuum advance removed and plugged. Lock the distributor down, then connect the vacuum advance to a full time manifold vacuum source.
Next the carb adjustment screws control the idle, one is not air and the other fuel, they adjust the air/fuel mixture at idle on both sides. Use a vacuum gauge to set the idle, adjust one side at a time until it reaches it`s highest idle, then set the other side the same way.
Have you checked to make sure the mechanical advance works? this is under the rotor button, check to make sure it moves freely. If all checks out okay and it still pops then I would say you have a very weak ignition, which could be the coil, the module or the pickup coil. You can buy a cheap spark tester at any autoparts store. If the spark is yellow it`s weak.
I can set the timing, thats not an issue...I have the vacuum line hooked into the port from the carb. I know there is a allen key adjustment inside the Cap...I have a HEI Dist. and it is new...how do i go about checking a weak ignition with that Cap. I am new about motors!
To set the idle are you talking about RPM...I have the motor at 600RPM...and then it drops of course when i go into gear...
I am a metal man...not an engine guy so I need all the help i can get.
Things that you can adjust:
1) Is spring force, this controls the timing of the metering rods movements compared to the available manifold vacuum.
2) Metering rod diameters, larger diameters result in a smaller jet, small diameters result in a larger jet, as the metering rod acts as an obstruction inside a jet. Edlebrock sells tuning kits go to their web site, contact their tech rep to discuss what you've got. These carbs tend to be on the rich side, which means they have smallish metering rods. You'll need to know your cam, vehicle weight and gearing, transmission type and converter stall before talking to them.
Ignition, the problem you have could be ignition. There's more to ignition than the base setting. You need to know when and where the vacuum advance comes in to play and how much advance it generates got given amounts of manifold vacuum. Some engines like vacuum advance from a continuous manifold source usually on the carb. Others like the vacuum advance run off a timed port on the carb such that there is no vacuum advance on idle. Similarly the mechanical advance has a rate and amount determined by springs working against a weight to set the speed or rate at which the advance comes in. Also, the advance cam has a stop that determines the maximum amount of advance.
It is as easy to have too much advance as too little. Many rodders don't realize that the base advance is combined with vacuum and the mechanical at various points. Pushing up the base setting can quickly over-advance the timing up on the top end. The trick is finding how much advance the engine wants at various RPMs Some rules of thumb are:
1) Hot cams want more base advance than mild cams, this is because the mixture is low on density and high on exhaust contamination so it burns slowly, the engine runs better with more base advance to give more burn time. But the engine has a high density mixture with little or no exhaust contamination from the mid thru high RPMS and doesn't need so much total advance, the extra degrees put in at idle need to be removed from the motions of the mechanical advance, so that total advance doesn't become over-advanced.
2) Vacuum advance is intended to provide extra advance in cruise when road speed is high but engine revolutions are low. In this situation the throttle is close to closed therefore mixture density is low. As with the above description, when density in the cylinder is low, the burn speed is slow, therefore more advance is required to get sufficient burn time. This is a great aid to midrange torque and fuel economy. The vacuum advance needs to be adjustable for the cam. Again a large cam results in low vacuum, so the vacuum can for this needs a softer control spring so that it actuates further on less vacuum that it would with a mild cam. Adjustable vacuum cans are available that either use replacement springs (GM style) or use a screw to increase or decrease spring force (Accel, MSD, Moroso style).
These are the things you need to lean about to get the engine tuned. It's not a small task and is complicated and time consuming to do without a air fuel ratio meter, a dyno, and some ignition instruments like a Sun machine that can simulate the engine for the ignition. Not impossible to do, but needs you to understand what's going on so you can isolate phenomena as to cause and effect relationships.
284I/296E Duration .507I/.510E Lift Rough Idle 2500+ Stall Converter Needed
that is the size of my cam...I have a 750 Carb and not a 650...I did read up on the metering rods when i got the engine...
I know of the two screws on the front of the Carb. i was told that i back one in at a time till it closes with the engine running...and turn it back to where the engine runs smooth and do that to the other side...
does that make sense.
With the carb off the engine and upside down, you should see the needle tips of the idle screws projecting in a hole just under the throttle when its in the idle closed position. Adjacent and above the idle holes should be the transition slots. The bottom of the slot should be about equal to the top of the throttle plate when the throttle is closed at the idle position. As the throttle is opened air trying to get around the throttle plate will develop a local vacuum that will draw fuel from the transition slot. At this point there is still insufficient air flow thru the venturi for main metering to start flowing. The transition slot covers a problem that old pre 1950ish carburetors had of having a flat spot just off idle.
Main metering turn on and overall all mixture ratio is controlled by fuel level and main jet size which in the Edlebrock Carter and the Q jet is variable by the size of the jet and the metering rod; with the Holley the main jet is a fixed size and the power jet is a separately valved circuit rather than the smallest restriction on the metering rod. The other effects on main metering are the air correction jets and the emulsion tubes. These are there to break up the fuel flow in main metering with air bubbles. Without this feature, main metering gets richer and richer as airflow thru the venturi increases with engine speed to a point where it can 't be controlled. The air correction jets and emulsion tubes work to put bubbles into the fuel flow, the faster the air rams into the intake the more bubbles form, by controlling the correction jet size and the number and size of holes in the emulsion tubes the designer can control top end over richness, often referred to as the rich hook. This however is an area of tuning the average rodder is well advised to stay out of. Most production carbs come with fixed correction jets and pressed in emulsion tubes, messing with them usually messes the carb up and getting replacement parts is nye-on impossible. some models of Holleys and Demon carbs do allow you play here by offering repacement screw in parts.
are you able to but in a nut shell how to adjust the carb...are you saying I have to change the rods...I always heard Eld. Carbs were easy to get around...also how do you know how to adjust the air/fuel nuts.
I have two questions for you ...first is this popping thru the carb and is it rhythmic? ..And lastly have you done any cam work to this motor recently??
I believe it is coming through the Carb. once i put a load on the engine. This is a new Crete motor so it has been all redone.
The one part of my question still needs and answer ...is this a rhythmic popping ...(one after another and same duration of time between the pops)?
I would say yes....it sounds like pop corn...very close together and stops when i let off the pedal.
re: popping at top end
I think you have 2 different problems.
1. the carb is probably rich because the edelbrock carbs are can't have over 4-5 lbs of fuel pressure, i would tryto get the pressure set to 4lbs before trying to tune it or you will waste your time. Also those carbs usually will work right out of the box, the only tuning would be minor , if you have a major problem tuning is not the answer.
2. the popping sounds like the ignition timing is off somehow, the vacuum advance should be hooked to manifold vacuum and would not affect the timing under load with your foot in it. Double check your plug wires and make sure the distributor is stabbed right. Even though it shows 12 degrees timing maybe its not .... are the timing marks on the timing cover or aftermarket bolt on?
Well I hate to say it but it sounds like you may be loosing a cam! I've had 4 go in my time ...all started with that rhythmic popping thru the carb at high RPM. And if I continued to drive the vehicle the popping would start at lower and lower RPMs. Another question for you, did you break in this engine per manufacturers spec.s? You might want to check the oil for any debris. Good Luck ...I hope I'm wrong! *G*
re: popping at top end
11echo has a good point. How many miles do you have on the motor? did you have to adjust the lifters at all? maybe a rocker adj nut came loose. If all else fails pull the valve covers and look for some rockers that aren't moving like the rest.
i did break the engine in as the spec...and I changed the oil and it was very clean...
I will have to check the fuel pressure...to see what i have...the timing numbers are marked right on the balancer...in bold numbers...
i had this engine in and i had it running great...no sounds, no popping...and then i blew my trans...put a new trans in and i guess when i through the engine back in the advance must have gotten out of whack and i am trying to figure out how to adjust that...that is where i am confused...
the carb issue, i have never gotten it to not run rich....its really rich right now...ughhh
