PHA Completes Phase Three of Multi-Million Dollar Redevelopment ProjectJanuary 9, 2013
PEORIA — With the recent completion of phase three of the Harrison Homes redevelopment project, the Peoria Housing Authority is helping needy individuals and families move into new housing units.
Phase three of the $6 million project includes 35 new affordable housing units that are a combination of townhomes and duplexes. The construction of the housing units was completed Dec. 14, just under two months past the original completion date goal of Oct. 22.
"They are one-bedroom and two-bedroom (housing units)," said Peoria Housing Authority Community Relations Manager Sherneka Cagle. "There are a few three- and four-bedroom townhouses available as well."
PHA has been reviewing applications and finding qualified tenants to live in the new units. Several individuals and families have already moved into the new housing units in the subsidized housing complex. The public housing agency hopes to occupy all of its new housing units this month.
"Within January, we hope we will be able to get all of them used up," said Cagle.
In addition to the 35 energy-efficient housing units, a playground was constructed, as part of phase three.
PHA contracted CORE Construction for the construction of the phase three housing units.
The new additions give residents of the subsidized housing complex a sense of pride in their community, said PHA C.E.O. Brenda Coates.
"They're just people, just like we are," said Coates. "They want that American dream. They do have some motivation. They want to see something different. And that's what we really hope this new neighborhood will continue to bring about."
The plan's goal is to move people out of buildings constructed in the 1930s into more modern homes, PHA spokeswoman Meghan Lundeen said. By moving into new buildings, the PHA hopes to bring down maintenance and utility costs, Lundeen added. The purpose of the six-phase Harrison Homes redevelopment project is to move people out of buildings in the subsidized housing complex that were constructed in the 1930s into more modern homes. By replacing its aging buildings with new buildings, PHA hopes to bring down utility and maintenance costs.
Phase 2 and 2B of the project were completed in the summer of 2011. Phase 2, a 26,800-square foot development, consisted of the construction of a maintenance/office building as well as 28 affordable housing units, including a mix of senior, family and ADA accessible apartments. Phase 2B consisted of six units, including a townhouse building with two three-bedroom units, three two-bedroom units and a two-bedroom bungalow. All of the Phase 2 and 2B housing units are occupied.
PHA plans to start construction for phase four of the project in 2014.
"As of right now, we're going to move forward with the next one (phase) in 2014," said Cagle.
The specifications and location of the units that will be constructed in phase four have not yet been determined.
"We're not sure on site specifics yet," said Cagle. "We will just be moving forward either with vacant land that is already at Harrison Homes or vacant land in other community areas and building on that land."
Anyone interested in getting on the housing unit waiting list can print off an application at the PHA website at peoriahousing.org, pick up an application in person at the PHA facility at 100 S. Richard Pryor Place in Peoria or call PHA at (309) 676-8736.

Rechargeable lithium metal batteries have been known for four decades to offer energy storage capabilities far superior to today's workhorse lithium-ion technology that powers our smartphones and laptops. But these batteries are not in common use today because, when recharged, they spontaneously grow treelike bumps called dendrites on the surface of the negative electrode.
Over many hours of operation, these dendrites grow to span the space between the negative and positive electrode, causing short-circuiting and a potential safety hazard.
Current technology focuses on managing these dendrites by putting up a mechanically strong barrier, normally a ceramic separator, between the negative and the positive electrodes to restrict the movement of the dendrite. The relative non-conductivity and brittleness of such barriers, however, means the battery must be operated at high temperature and are prone to failure when the barrier cracks.
But a Cornell team, led by chemical and biomolecular engineering professor Lynden Archer and graduate student Snehashis Choudhury, proposed in a recent study that by designing nanostructured membranes with pore dimensions below a critical value, it is possible to stop growth of dendrites in lithium batteries at room temperature.
"The problem with ceramics is that this brute-force solution compromises conductivity," said Archer, the William C. Hooey Director and James A. Friend Family Distinguished Professor of Engineering and director of the Robert Frederick Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
"This means that batteries that use ceramics must be operated at very high temperatures – 300 to 400 degrees Celsius [572 to 752 degrees Fahrenheit], in some cases," Archer said. "And the obvious challenge that brings is, how do I put that in my iPhone?"
You don't, of course, but with the technology that the Archer group has put forth, creating a highly efficient lithium metal battery for a cellphone or other device could be reality in the not-too-distant future.

Amole Gupte makes film out of children's workshop
Keeping summer vacations in mind, 'Stanley Ka Dabba' is set to release on May 13th
Mumbai: They were supposed to be weekends full of cinema and theatre workshops for students of his alma mater, but a year and a half down the line, screenplay writer Amole Gupte of Taare Zameen Par fame has a whole film, Stanley Ka Dabba, ready.
"I didn't plan a film at all. It started with a cinema and theatre session at Holy Family High School in Andheri - the school I went to when I was a child. The way I do cinema and theatre sessions at my Pali Chimbai Municipal School, I decided to do this in my school on Saturdays.
"So on Saturdays for over one and a half years, and in vacation months for a week, I set the paradigm of being with the children. I stayed with them for four hours maximum only on a holiday. Not a single child lost a day of school during the filming and at the end of the workshop we have a film in our hand. That's 'Stanley Ka Dabba'," Gupte told in an interview.
The workshop was meant to make children experience different kinds of cinema. "This was one and a half years of acting in cinema and theatre workshops in which the children got a sense of how to present themselves in front of the camera," he said.
Gupte says educating the children was his primary motive.
"I shot in the workshop sessions. Say in today's session I shot two scenes and again at another session I shot another three scenes. Somewhere two-three days down the line, I thought it could be put in time line and it can become a film; otherwise it's a workshop; it's about educating the children," he said.
It's not a children's film though, he says.
"It's not a children film. It's essentially with children but it's a universal film. The definition of children film in India is, unfortunately, something very dumb, something that is very accessible," said Gupte.
Of the film, he further said: "It's about bonding, it's about friendship, it's about going back to your classroom and remembering your sweetheart teachers, your 'khadoos' (strict) teachers, your best friends and the smell of the tiffin boxes when you open them in the recess. I don't think any child is able to resist the dabbas. That's the metaphor - bonding of children through a tiffin box."
Gupte had the sketchy story registered long ago.
"I had a story, which was locked in 2008. There was a registered property called Stanley Ka Dabba. I had to see how close I could get to the story," said Gupte.
How did he get funding for the film?
"It took me two years. I was doing only at the rate of around four and a half hours, that too on Saturdays. Rest of the days I was investing in looking at the materials, writing other stuff, trying to act in other people's films so that I could fund this one as I have produced it. I funded it for peanuts. It's a very cheap film," said Gupte.
There were 170 Holy Family students who attended the workshop, while another 100 came and went. He had put up a concert for another school where 250 children performed. "I just shot the concert in a single take."
None of the children had the faintest idea that they were being shot for a full-fledged film until they were shown it after completion, says Gupte.
"I shot it very naturally, with no big set-ups, with a digital camera. There was nothing that would make you feel that you are in a film set. The children didn't even know that a film was being made on their action. That's why it's such a precious film," said Gupte.
Gupte thanked Fox Star Studios for taking up the responsibility of marketing and distributing the film across India.
"I think every film needs to be promoted. I wish we were 20 years ago when it could go on its own steam but now it has to catch fire first. I am so glad that FOX is standing with me and helping me build a bridge with the media," said Gupte.
Keeping summer vacations in mind, Stanley Ka Dabba is set to release on May 13.

Family's Daily Trash Burn Can Rival Emissions from Municipal Waste Incinerator
A family of four burning trash in a barrel in their backyard - still a common practice in many rural areas - can potentially put as much dioxin and furan into the air as a well-controlled municipal waste incinerator serving tens of thousands of households, according to a new study. Under intense scrutiny in recent years because of their varying degrees of toxicity, these polychlorinated compounds can be formed simply by burning common household trash at low temperatures.
The finding is reported in the Jan. 4 web edition of the journal Environmental Science & Technology by researchers from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the New York State Department of Health. The peer-reviewed journal is published by the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society. The report will appear in the journal's Feb. 1 print edition.
"Open burning of household waste in barrels is potentially one of the largest sources of airborne dioxin and furan emissions in the United States, particularly as EPA standards force major reductions in emissions from municipal and medical waste incinerators," says Paul Lemieux, Ph.D., one of the study's co-authors. He is with the EPA's National Risk Management Research Laboratory in Research Triangle Park, N.C.
Emission measurements from burning of "typical" household trash in 55-gallon drums were done at the EPA's Open Burning Test Facility in North Carolina. The composition of the trash included newspapers, books, magazines, junk mail, cardboard, milk cartons, food waste, various types of plastic, and assorted cans, bottles and jars. No paint, grease, oils, tires or other household hazardous wastes were included in the burning. The barrel burn results were compared with emission data from a "well-controlled incinerator performing better than the dioxin requirements set by recent EPA standards," according to Lemieux.
"Recognizing that there are varied wastes and methods of burning, this particular study found that under test conditions, more polychlorinated compounds were emitted from barrel burning than municipal incinerators because of lower incineration temperatures and poor combustion conditions (in barrels)," says Lemieux.
Under the conditions studied, and when using comparable weights of trash, "emissions from open burning are several orders of magnitude higher than for controlled combustion in a modern, clean-operating MWC (municipal waste combustor)," the article claims.
"Triggered by the study being reported, EPA has launched follow-up studies at its North Carolina test facility to better understand the nature and magnitude of backyard trash burning as a significant dioxin source," notes Lemieux.
The study could help resolve a long-standing discrepancy as a result of a 1994 EPA assessment that identified a "significant gap" between estimates of dioxin emissions and actual deposition measurements, according to the journal article. Emissions of dioxins and furans from burn barrels "may be an important missing link to help close the gap between measured deposition rates and the emissions inventories," the article points out.
Burning trash in open barrels is banned in most areas of the U.S., says Ann Brown of the EPA's Public Affairs Office in Research Triangle Park. "The areas of the country where burning trash is permitted are mostly confined to rural areas," she adds.
Although dioxins and furans have been shown to damage the health of laboratory animals, direct evidence of the compounds' effects in humans is less clear but still cause for concern, according to Scott Matsen, Ph.D., of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park.
"Exposure to certain dioxins has been clearly shown to cause adverse effects in laboratory animals, such as immune dysfunction, cancer, hormonal changes and developmental abnormalities," says Matsen. "Although the available evidence for adverse effects in people is more limited than for laboratory animals, the sum total of the information is cause for concern about the human health hazards of environmental exposure to this class of chemicals."

Joe Morahan: In the Moment, Part I
We recently received a series of sports images that caught our attention. The man behind the camera turned out to be Joe Morahan, and we responded to his email with curiosity and a deluge of questions. Luckily for us, Joe was kind enough to answer our questions in detail. You can read excerpts from our email conversation below.
Why sports photography, Joe?
"Back in the day, I played a lot of sports. Baseball, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, skiing, snowboarding and biking, to name a few. I loved sports more than anything. There was a feeling I got when competing that was different to anything else I had ever felt. Keep in mind that I am super competitive, but when I hit the field, it was like a complete escape from all other aspects of my life. I simply forgot about everything in life. It was total immersion. Nothing else mattered. It is this ephemeral feeling of freedom that I'm now trying to capture on a photographic shoot."
Then how come you prefer set shots to live action images?
"Because it allows me to control my environment completely. I establish all the conditions with which my final product will be formed. It's vastly different to a shoot conducted at live events, where the lighting is set by the stadium officials, the photographic angles established by management, and where there is zero control over the action."
Which are the crucial factors for creating a successful sports image?
"Lighting is critical. A photo has to have great quality of lighting to create the impression, the depth of emotion, the shadows, lines and accent that is required."
"Composition has to be spot on. The more interesting the composition, the longer someone will be enraptured by a particular image. As with most forms of art, there may be rules, but great work somehow defies description. You know it when you see it!"
"Of course, focus is hugely important. A blurry photo is no good. Clarity is so appealing to the eye; creating a 'gotcha' moment."
"Lens choice. I can't stress that enough. A photographer might move up close and personal to a basketball player, having decided to utilize a wide-angle lens to capture a spectacular dunk. But with some forethought, a more striking image can be had. Perhaps you should move away from the action and rely on a tele-photo lens instead? I think about this all the time. I never just grab a lens. I try to think through the possibilities of why I should use this particular lens for this effect versus that lens for another effect."
"I also have a bias for distinct color. I love color. It does not always make or break a photo, but color is very important to me all the same. There is no doubt that color can dictate a mood and feeling. It is real and cannot be ignored."
"Finally, creativity in design and production is critical!"
What is your way of working on the set? Take the image of the basketball player, for instance. How do you create something like that?
"I will set up my tripod and frame up my shot, then close my eyes and picture exactly where the basketball player will be diving through the frame. I will then have the athlete stand in that spot to allow me to work my lights. Once the light is set, I place a quarter on the ground so the athlete knows exactly where he is to start and finish his jump."
"The next thing I do is that I focus my camera on the player in the frame, switching my lens to manual focus to make sure that the lens does not change focus. This move really helps me get the tack sharp focus I demand from my shots, without giving myself a headache! Also, it saves the athlete from a hundred takes, preserving the athlete's vigor for quality movements."
"Once I've focused, I switch to manual exposure and close down a stop or two. This is one of the tricks I use to get richly saturated colors. If I were at even exposure, the sky might be a light blue as we would see it in normal conditions. But when closed down two stops, that light sky blue turns into an arresting deep true blue."
"There is, however, one potential problem with this technique. Outdoors, and under exposing two full stops, your flash needs to somehow overpower the sun. That's exactly the situation in which you guys help me. Profoto lights are powerful enough to properly expose my subject matter, while leaving all other aspects in my shot under exposed. Without these intensely powerful lights, I would be left with an unacceptably darkened photo."

Rep. Michele Bachmann's accusations regarding Huma Abedin, deputy chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, are absurd and deplorable ["McCain defends Clinton aide accused by 5 in GOP," front page, July 19].
Recognizing that the strong suit of Ms. Bachmann (R-Minn.) is clearly not foreign policy or cultural understanding, certainly her service in Congress and in particular on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence over the past few years should have been instructional on what a progressive and liberal-minded Muslim woman's attitude might be toward the Muslim Brotherhood.
Given what Ms. Bachmann and her compatriots should know, and how they should behave, as leaders and representatives of this country, their actions are that much more appalling. Have partisan politics become so prevalent in this Congress that nothing is sacred?
Nancy Eyde, Washington
I give kudos to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for speaking out and defending Huma Abedin against what seem to be spurious allegations by Rep. Michele Bachmann and four of her Republican colleagues.
It is easy for members of Congress to automatically toe the partisan line regardless of the issue. I may disagree with Mr. McCain on many of issues, but I appreciate his appeal to human decency, fairness and accuracy regarding Ms. Abedin's character.

This article considers the problem of testing for cross-section independence in limited dependent variable panel data models. It derives a Lagrangian multiplier (LM) test and shows that in terms of generalized residuals of Gourieroux (1987) it reduces to the LM test of Breusch and Pagan (1980). Because of the tendency of the LM test to over-reject in panels with large N (cross-section dimension), we also consider the application of the cross-section dependence test (CD) proposed by Pesaran (2004). In Monte Carlo experiments it emerges that for most combinations of N and T the CD test is correctly sized, whereas the...

The redox behavior of polyanilines with ring-substituted groups synthesized by chemical polymerization, poly-2,5-dimethoxyaniline (PDMAn), poly-m-chloroaniline (PmClAn) and poly-o-toluidine (POT), was studied and the morphology and crystal orientation of platinum particles deposited on these polymer membranes was compared. The oxidation of isopropanol on platinized polyaniline-modified electrodes as a model reaction was also investigated to examine the electrocatalytic properties of the polymers. The results show that the first oxidation potential of the polymers increases in the following sequence: PDMAn, POT and then PmClAn, which can be explained in terms of the electronic and steric effects of ring-substituted groups. The growth of Pt...

Silver nanocubes were synthesized by reducing silver nitrate with ethylene glycol in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) based on the report by Xia's group. Silver nanocubes were immobilized on silicon wafers by self-assembly processes. SERS activity of silver nanocubes was detected by using pyridine and SCN- respectively as probe molecules. The preliminary results show that the Raman intensities of pyridine and SCN- adsorbed at silver nanocubes were enhanced considerably, indicating that silver nanocubes can be used as a good SERS substrate. On the other hand, SERS combined with the probe molecule method can be used to characterize the optical property...

- After being told that she wants to go to the city with him, Hibiya delightfully accepts Hiyori's request, only to be half-forced into staying for a summer in the city by her, whom he has unrequited feelings for.
- They visit Hiyori's sister Ayaka's home, but because Hiyori falls for a boy they meet there, Konoha. He's hit by intense feelings of jealousy.
- One day, Hiyori saw a cat and chased after it. Hibiya only followed, but stopped her when he saw something strange about the cat. Hiyori, vexed, taunted at him, which made him regret doing so. Hiyori then spotted Konoha standing near them. Anguish, she ran away into the streets. Hibiya tries to stop her because a truck was coming, but he was too late, and was sucked into the Haze with her.
- Hibiya gets spotted by Ene being together with Konoha after an accident. He gets taken to a hospital together with him.[1]

TRACK & FIELD CENTRAL: NCAA Championships
March 7, 2013
March 8-9, 2013 | All Day
Tyson Center | Fayetteville, Ark.
- A trio of Tennessee track & field athletes return to Fayetteville, Ark., this weekend to compete in the 2013 NCAA Indoor Championships on Friday and Saturday at the Arkansas' Randal Tyson Track Center.
- Lady Vol qualifiers include Nijgia Snapp (15th, 800m, 2:05.97) and Linda Hadfield (11th, pole vault, 13-11/4.24m), both of whom made late-season charges to earn their first-career indoor individual national bids.
- The Vols are sending freshman pole vault sensation Jake Blankenship, the 2013 SEC Men's Freshman Field Athlete of the Year. Blankenship qualified fifth for nationals with his UT freshman-record vault of 18-feet, 2.5-inches (5.55m) at the Southeastern Conference Championships.
- Since opening its doors in 2000, this season marks the 11th edition of the national meet being held at the Randal Tyson Track Center.
- The 2013 NCAA Indoor Championships will be streamed live on ESPN3.com on Friday starting at 6:25 p.m. ET and again on Saturday at 6:50 p.m. ET.
- Early portions of the meet not covered by ESPN3 will be streamed at NCAA.com and ArkansasRazorbacks.com, beginning with the start of competition each day.
- A tape-delay broadcast of the national meet will air on March 17 at 7 p.m. ET on ESPNU.
- Also be sure to follow the Tennessee track & field team on twitter at @Vol_Track.
- Blankenship had no need to enter a last chance meet last weekend. With four individual meet titles and two runner-up finishes in his six meets this campaign, the rookie enters nationals ranked fifth in the country and as the No. 2 freshman.
- He secured himself as a national title contender when he hit 18-0.5 (5.50m) at the Armory Collegiate Invitational (Feb. 2), tying the UT freshman record set by Olympic silver medalist and world-renowned pole vaulter Lawrence Johnson.
- Blankenship bettered that mark one week later, wining the Samford Invitational with a mark of 18-1 (5.51m) and stepped up once again with his second-place finish at the SEC Championships (18-2.5/5.55m).
- After a disappointing fifth-place finish at SECs, Hadfield capped the regular season in thrilling fashion at Virginia Tech's last chance qualifier last weekend.
- With a double-PR performance, including a school-record vault of 13-11 (4.24m), Hadfield jumped from 23rd to 11th in the nation to secure her first-career NCAA Indoor appearance.
- Having missed out on last season's nationals with an 800-meter mark of 2:05.49, Snapp went into last-chance weekend with a season-best time of 2:05.97 in the event.
- Seeking her first individual nationals' appearance, Snapp was unable to improve her time at Notre Dame's Alex Wilson Invitational and finished the season just outside the top-16, ranked 19th in the nation.
- However, the Mays Landing, N.J., product was informed of four scratches late Monday evening, bumping her to 15th on the list to secure her spot in the title race.
- Blankenship will be the first in action for the Orange and White, hitting the runway at 6:30 p.m. ET for the men's pole vault final on Friday.
- The women's 800m semifinals featuring Snapp is scheduled for Friday at 8:15 p.m. ET. If she advances, Snapp would run in the finals on Saturday at approximately 8:20 p.m. ET.
- Hadfield will conclude the field events for UT with the women's pole vault final at 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
- The Lady Vols have won two NCAA Indoor team titles in 2005 and 2009, both coming under J.J. Clark, while the Vols claimed the 2002 team title. Both the 2002 men's and 2005 women's championships came at the Tyson Center.
- The Lady Vols have won four NCAA Indoor titles in the distance medley relay, coming in 2004, 2008, 2009 and 2010, all under Clark. The 2009 unit set world, American and NCAA meet records at 10:50.98.
- The UT women have seven top-10 NCAA Indoor finishes in Clark's previous 10 seasons, including titles in 2005 and 2009, a runner-up effort in 2010 and a third-place result in 2007.
- In his fourth season leading the program, Clark has now qualified six Vols for the NCAA Indoor Championships.
- Clark, a three-time SEC Indoor Women's Coach of the Year, also piloted the Lady Vols to SEC Indoor titles in 2005, 2007 and 2009.
- In 10 full seasons leading the Lady Vols and three with the Vols, Clark's athletes have won 60 SEC titles (Women 31 in/27 Out; Men: 1 in/1 Out).
- Blankenship was named the 2013 SEC Men's Freshman Field Athlete of the Year, as voted on by the league's head coaches.
- He's the first Vol indoor athlete to earn that award under Clark.
- Blankenship also added Second Team All-SEC honors and earned SEC All-Freshman Team acclaim.
- In addition, Vol distance runner Austin Whitelaw was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team for his performance at the league championships in the 3,000m. Whitelaw navigated the banked course in a PR and UT indoor freshman record 8:11.68.
- Read the complete release here
- Jake Blankenship - Tennessee Freshman Pole Vault Record (18-2.5/5.55m)
- Cameron Brown - Tennessee Freshman Weight Throw Record (64-4.5/19.62m)
- Linda Hadfield - Tennessee School Pole Vault Record (13-11.0/4.24m)
- Austin Whitelaw - Tennessee Freshman 5,000m Record (14:18.11) & Tennessee Freshman 3,000m Record (8:11.68)

I bought this as recommended by a friend. And I recommend it too.
Stomach pain
Posted by Reviewer3247685 on Apr 22, 2013 | Verified Purchase
I've always purchased another brand of magnesium glycinate and have never had any problems taking right before bed. I bought this brand because it was cheaper and had the "glycine" in the name and have had an upset,cramping, and sour stomach ever since. These pills are very very bitter too. I've noticed also that when I take this brand I can't take an occasional ibuprofen for my arthritis without paying the price of all day stomach cramps the next day. Switching back to my old more expensive brand! I think it did a real number on my stomach lining!

Why are mortgage rates going up in the past 10 days if the fed lowered rates?
Well, well, well… good to see that someone was paying attention! Since January 25, 2008 rates have jumped up nearly ½% at a time when the general public expected rates to go down because the Fed lowered short term rates. Actually the fed has lowered rates 5 times since September 18, 2007 for a total of 2.25%. Yet mortgage rates have barely budged. Confusing?
Here's the deal. Many many factors influence mortgage rates. For one thing, mortgage rates are more affected by the long term interest rate environment than the short term market.
The Fed attempts to either stimuate the economy by lowering short term interest rates or they try to slow the economy by raising short term interest rates. They do this through three different tools of monetary policy – open market operations (the fed funds rate), the discount rate and reserve requirements.
The fed funds rate is the interest rate at which depository institutions (banks) lend balances to other depository institutions overnight. The discount rate is the rate that institutions may borrow overnight funds directly from the Fed. Reserve requirements are the amount of funds that a depository institution must hold in reserve against specified deposit liablities.
Ok… now that that's out of the way, let's move onto mortgage rates. See, long term rates such as mortgages, react to Fed policies rather than follow them. I don't want to oversimplify here but generally, long term interest rates move in reaction to the perception of what effect the Fed's moves will have on the economy.
Long term bond holders are extremely concerned about an overheated economy. To a long term bond holder, inflation is a four letter word. The reason is simple – if a bond yields 6% while inflation is at 4%, the bond holder is only netting 2%. When fed policy is anti-inflationary, bond holders rest easy. Bonds become more attractive if inflation is low, less so when inflation is rising. And recent Fed policy is anything but anti-inflationary. That is one reason why mortgage rates have actually increased obver the past two weeks. Additionally, there is still turmoil in the credit markets.
The truth is that if it wasn't for the housing industry and the mortgage market meltdown, the fed would surely NOT be lowering interest rates. In fact, I believe whole heartidly that we are in a short term upside down spike… there are way too many inflationary signs right now. Consider oil, nearly all commodities, food prices… they are all on the rise. And our government continues to spend money like never before. These rate cuts may not affect mortgage interest rates anymore than they already have. And once real estate values have stabilized and stablity has come back to the credit markets, be prepared for the fed to begin raising rates again… and swiftly.
If you are considering refinancing or purchasing a home, do it now. Do not try to time the market. Most people that do, won't catch the bottom. Currently, you can lock in rates on a 30 year fixed below 6%. They may not go down from here. But I assure you this – next year at this time, they will be higher than they are today.

I have an old home in the northeast. heat is oil hot water. big radiators in each room. I renovated the 2nd floor bathroom, took out the radiator and put 1/2 pex in the floor. ran the pex down into the basement and connected each end to the inflow and outflow of the line that went to the radiator in the renovated bathroom. I was hoping the flow would travel up and through the pex, but it doesn't. There are 2 different styles of piping for the heat in the house. The older style for the old radiators and the single loop for the newer baseboard heat in the newer portion of the house. What options do I have to get heat to the bathroom.

"Board Exams"- the word in itself sounds so scary. Every student appearing for the CBSE board exams wants to score the best marks, but only a handful of them manage to reach the zenith. Good marks is dependent on two things-
•hardwork and intelligence of the student
•the manner in which student prepare for the exams
Learning, practicing and revising are the common keys for success in any examination. Student has to learn sincerely, practice it regularly and revise properly in order to succeed in examination. But to score extremely good marks in CBSE board exams students need to be more systematic and follow a particular pattern while answering the questions. CBSE sample papers not only guide the students to answer in the right way but also help them with time management.
CBSE sample papers in fact are a set of questions, framed in a pattern usually used in the actual CBSE exams. These are nothing but compilation of several past years' question papers of a particular subject along with the solutions. It helps the student understand the pattern of the question, which is likely to appear in the examination and the weightage given to various chapters of the syllabus. Student can test their knowledge, understanding and preparation of the subject with the assistance of CBSE sample papers.
CBSE sample papers also facilitate students to manage the time allotted during the examination. It is quite common among the students appearing for board exams to get anxious thinking about how to answer all the questions in limited time. Sometimes the panicky students tend to leave the paper incomplete despite knowing all the answers, just because they didn't know how to cope with the time. CBSE sample papers help students to know the right approach of writing answers. The examinee can practice the sample papers within the allotted time limit and can understand how much to write depending on the marks allotted to a particular question.
CBSE sample papers motivate students to channelize their energy and efforts in the right direction and also learn optimal utilization of time. Although a large number of guide books and study material are available in the market to assist students, but what the students really require is a guide which can teach them the right approach and continuous revision of the syllabus based on the previous examination question papers.
CBSE sample papers thus are the best friends, guide and teacher of the students and a tested way to score good marks.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: goodroi
question, when Disallowing Paths in Robots.txt, do I have to Disallow both paths in Robots?
for instance,
real path: /stores/products/electronics/plasma.php?=33
mod_rewritten virtual path: /televisions/plasma-33-sony-trinitron.html
If I wanted to disallow search bots from indexing any of the above paths, Do I have to Disallow Both? Or do I have to just disallow the Physical path?
so If I Disallow: /stores/products/electronics/plasma.php?=33
will it still index: /televisions/plasma-33-sony-trinitron.html ?
wondering if I have to disallow both, the physical path, AND the virtual directory?
Thank You for your response
regards, frogz
assuming the physical path is externally accessible as a url:
what you probably want to do for url canonicalization reasons is to externally redirect requests for the physical path to the virtual path.
the physical path should be allowed so the robot can make the request and get the 301 or 302 response.
when the robot makes the subsequent request for the virtual path it will be disallowed the access to the internal rewrite that would have ultimately provided the resource.
check out this WebmasterWorld thread for more information:

3 mountain lion sightings at Shasta College
REDDING, Calif. - Three suspected mountain lion sightings were reported on the Shasta College Campus, Friday night, according to campus officials.
Director of Campus Safety, Craig Carmena issued an email to students and faculty which said the 3 sightings all happened with the past 24 hours.
The first sighting happened near the 700 Building, the second was near the Residence Halls, and the third was behind the Athletics Department.
Posters have gone up all around campus, part of an attempt by the school to keep students, staff and visitors in the know.
"Our primary purpose is to make sure that our staff and our students are safe," says Morris Rodgrigue, Vice President of Administrative Services. "And to make sure they are aware there's a mountain lion around and to be careful. I think they need to be cautious and aware, and be aware of their surroundings."
Rodrigue says they're telling everyone to avoid being out at dusk, dawn and at night and to be aware of surroundings while on campus.
They've also increased the number safety officers on campus and are having Redding police make frequent patrols.
Campus officials are also working with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, although there is no active search for the mountain lion.

I have seen 600 hp in motors similar to what you are building, but they were all 406's with AFR comp package 220 heads running to around 6500-7000. (the motors I saw had 10.5:1 compression), so It is possible, but you may need a few more cubic inches, and a port and polish job on your heads.
Check out this site, they offer a "brutus 550 406" with 600 hp
Last edited by firestone; 05-05-2004 at 08:51 AM.
firestone, I think you are missing a little on that Brutus 406, it says "up to 600HP" Usually when they say things like that, it means if you run race fuel and up the compression and cam.
This is why I asked if he planned on running pump gas, getting to 600HP on race fuel is not really a big challenge. Now getting to 600HP on pump gas N/A with 400 or less cubic inches will be a challenge.
I like a challenge, are you challenging me? (LOL) you know with a little support and a few nudges Ill try it, even with true flat top pistons, what the heck, I aint Skered! lol... I really think all jokes aside I can do it, I will need to port these heads, it might make an interesting thread to see what I had to do to get it up to the 600hp mark on pump gas, and that is real world hp no desktop dyno bull...
so make a challenge but be warned, I may just do it..and if I do it,....... it will be with a cam than less .700 lift...thats a promise..
I may have to ask for help though, if you know anyone that has the expertise to lend some advice on the way hey! new ideas are welcome, firstname.lastname@example.com
Royce was right that the article I showed you before was not a good example. I found another one that is a little better, It is a 401 with AFR 195cc comp package heads, 10:1 compression and a , 236 242 @.050 hyd roller cam. This motor made 554 hp at 5900 RPM on pump gas. If you could get you heads to flow like the AFR's, with your motor having larger heads, more compression, and a bigger mechanical roller cam, 600 may not be too far out of the picture.
look at this article:
with a dual plane intake thats not too shaby at all.....and you can bet that dual plane is restricting the heads...I plan on a fully ported Victor jr matched to the heads, and I have considered making custom 1 7/8 longtubes for the S-10 body, I may contact Kooks Headers to see if they can help me out here...
Buddy Rawls with the proper info no doubt in my mind can come up with a grind to meet or exceed my goal, whether or not ill need more CR is up in the air right now and I do plan on shaving the heads to a 58-60cc to insure Ill end up with at least 11.0:1
so whats 11.0-.5:1 worth? who know's but if I come withing 10hp of the 600hp mark id say its worth alot!
now the fun part...I need to have these heads flow'ed to see what the actual flow is, and if they arent close to the advertised flow#'s will largely determine how much port work will be needed.
.I cant seem to find anyone who has flow'ed the PTL 220CC alum heads on a independant bench and give a honest answer to the actual flow#'s..
to be continued....2wld4u
Fellas, I am telling ya, from customers all over the country, no 10 to 1 383 engine is going to make that kind of power without some serious $ behind it. With bolt together parts and 23 degree heads, 500 is not a problem. . .big difference to make that 600 number. . . I'm telling yeah. . . and with some of the correction factors that I have seen on "published" dyno pulls, the corrected power has been "corrected all right".
I am not saying don't try. . . by all means this is a hot rod board. . .go for it. . .but just don't waste your hard earn money unless you have a Ben Franklin tree in the back yard.
Ditto on Cstraub. The only pump gas small blocks making that kind of power are 427-454 and they are much more expensive to build.
I know what your saying Chris, and your right, I certainly dont have a money tree in the back yard, money is tight...nevertheless Im going ahead with my plan....any donations are welcome...lol......LOL.....buhahahahahaha! like that will ever happen...anyways I did get a good chuckle from that thought...lol...2wld4u
Listen I am challenging you, lets make it official
Unless you have some sort of secret, it just is not going to happen on pump gas and 23* heads. I have a ~500HP 385 N/A 385ci engine on the stand that I just pulled out of my car. I think that was about as much HP as I could safely (reliably) get out of that engine on pump gas. Compression was right at 11:1 with aluminum heads and a healthy cam, ported Dart Pro 1's 215cc runners, port matched Vic Jr, 830 CFM Holley, etc.... Even with a solid roller it is not going to happen. I built a similar engine with a solid roller it actually didn't go any faster/quicker in the exact same car.
Let me try to explain why I don't think you can do it. In order to get anywhere close to 600HP from 383ci, you are going to need a massive cam, in order for that cam to make power it is going to need big compression, big compression is not going to run on pump gas. It is a evil circle, the odds are more than against you. You can put me on record here You will not make 600HP from 383 N/A with 23* heads, on pump gas period.
As Cstraub said those magazine dyno numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt.
Search the web and see if anyone is offering a N/A 383 that makes 600HP on pump gas.
I think 500-525HP is about the limit.
Prove me wrong and you will become a millionaire.
millionaire? heck yeah! I'll go for it!
as soon as all the parts arrive Ill be ready to start assembly!
but I beg you fellow's if I fall short please no told you so's this is a severe learning curve for me...I have always had great results with nitrous applications and to be honest building N/a is a completly different animal....
600hp on pump gas.......
turbo..... just add a turbo the size of a 3 gallon bucket and turn up the boost, but wait..... dont we know somone who runs what appears to be the mother of all turbos on a 406 SBC?? (turboS10) if somone would only send him a drum of 116 octane and the guts to pull the hose off the wastegate and hold on for dear life that motor should put out somthing in the 1400 Hp range at 35 PSI...
there is no beating a well engineered turbo combo... period.
well, Buddy even told me it cant be done so......I may just give up on the idea, and rely on a power adder................. no ofense to those power adder user's (Im one also) but I really had my heart set on a nasty N/a build this time...I wont give up on the idea but when some many experts tell me it cant be done it, I suppose I'll have to agree and work on this on my own time...lol 2wld4u
I'm glad you listened to Buddy.. . he is a sharp guy. . .NO BS. ..I was confident he would not tell you any different then I. Good luck with the build, whatever you end up with you'll be happy I am sure.
You also have to remember that a 525HP engine is nothing to laugh at. That is pretty serious power for a street car. If you want 600+ lower the CR and use a power adder of your choice. It will also be so much more reliable with a blower or turbo than the nasty NA engine would be.

Reading of 'Ulysses' Climaxes Tonight at Georgetown Public Library
In honor of Bloomsday, an annual celebration of James Joyce's "Ulysses," Georgetown Public Library has been hosting a reading marathon of the novel. The readings began June 9, and tonight will mark the finale of reading the book at the library on R Street.
Bloomsday is celebrated June 16 because it is the anniversary of Joyce's first date with his wife, Nora Barnacle and also the day that the plot of the novel is based upon.
The innovative novel, filled with literary devices, is a timely account of Leopold Bloom's day in Dublin in 1904. The sometimes difficult to fathom "Ulysses" is considered to be one of the greatest novels of all time.
Herb Guggenheim, a local writer and psychotherapist, has assembled 30 actors and scholars who will alternate in reading the Ulysses aloud to the audience. Tonight, Laura Baxtor, a well-known opera singer will read the last chapter.
"We are thrilled to feature Laura Baxter as Molly Bloom in this year's reading. At the end of 'Ulysses,' Molly Bloom's soliloquy is the most dramatic part of the book, and Laura Baxter is the perfect performer to bring Molly to life." Guggenheim wrote of the event on his website.
In addition, an evening seminar on James Joyce and "Ulysses" by Collin Owens, a professor emeritus at George Mason University, is scheduled Monday night at S. Dilion Ripley Center (1100 Jefferson Dr., SW) from 6:45 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. Owens will offer his personal insight by discussing the distinctive literary language presented in the novel.

4555 Pine Tree Drive, Miami Beach, FL, 33140
Description: "This architecturally distinct home located in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Miami Beach was conceived as a self-contained, multi-layered landscape of experiences which takes advantage of both Miami's tropical climate as well the Ocean and Miami Beach views. Elements of the home include stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean from the master bedroom, a waterslide concealed by an elegant glass staircase, a pool with open views and a boat dock that will be built to suit the buyer's preferences.
Introducing 4555 Pine Tree Drive, a combination of world renowned architecture and astonishing landscape design defining a truly poetic presence. The unique setting, one of only three alike in Miami Beach with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean captures an energizing eastward breeze. Dissolving boundaries with expansive openings truly combining indoor and outdoor spaces with naturalistic gardens as the context and a beautifully restrained palette come together bringing the home to life.
6 Bedrooms + Maids Quarters 7 Full Baths + 2 Powder Rooms Approximate Sq. Feet: 19,000 Livable, 16,000 Under A/C Lot Size: 38,482 Sq. Feet With 100 Feet On The Water Architecture By SOATA Interior Design By Nils Sanderson From REM Koolhaas Landscape Design By Raymond Jungles Lighting Design By Lux Populi Built By Barry Brodsky From Brodson Construction Exquisite Design By World-Renowned Architects
Indoor Half-Court Basketball Court Custom Kitchen With Curved Walnut Cabinets, Calacutta Marble Countertops And Gaggenau Appliances Custom Chef's Kitchen With Commercial Blue Star Appliances Closets Built To Suit Boat Dock Built To Suit Stunning Views Of The Atlantic Ocean Water-Front Swimming Pool Waterslide Concealed By Beautiful Glass Staircase And More
The exterior architecture of the home was designed by world-renowned South African firm SAOTA and is the premiere home that SAOTA has designed in Miami. It was conceived as a self-contained, multi-layered landscape of experiences which takes advantage of both Miami's tropical climate as well the site's sought-after views over the canal toward the Atlantic Ocean and Miami Beach.
Pine Tree is SAOTA's first project to be completed in Miami. SAOTA's design DNA is derived from the South African way of living which places an emphasis on the outdoors as people live both in and through their homes. Captivated by the Miami climate and landscape potential the design embodies these principles; creating a landscape of experiences. SAOTA sought to spread the program across the site as much as possible. In direct contrast to a typical approach of a singular building element on the property, the design is porous, bringing the landscape into the interior of the house. Through the introduction of a collection of introverted and extroverted courtyards, all aspects of the program have an immediate relationship to the outdoors.
The design is as much about containment as it is about the views through it. The concept of containment is perhaps best embodied in the screens that cloak the building. Primarily born out of the functional need for privacy and solar control; their application evolved to something far more significant as CNC punched anodised aluminium becomes architectural jewelery. The screens play with the character of light, heightening the experience of enclosure and transparency. In some instances they define spaces as with the double volume nature of the entrance, in others they facilitate the bedroom terraces becoming part of the bedroom – private, protected sanctuaries.
Whilst the overall architectural design is a key focus of the SAOTA design team, this becomes secondary to the primary function of how the design will be actually be used. This drives how areas are positioned and connected; how the house lives. This approach may seem counter intuitive to most architects however, prioritizing use and function is one of the main reasons for SAOTA's international success."

Join David Rivers for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding and modifying titles in a project, part of Windows Live Movie Maker Essential Training.
Using AutoMovie is an excellent option to get your Movie Maker project started, but there may be some manual changes you'd like to make-- for example, titles. That's what we're going to talk about right now. Because we used an AutoMovie theme, a clip was inserted at the very beginning with a black background, and the My Movie title was added by default as well. Certain special effects are added by default. The formatting is all set by default, but we can manipulate that. We can even add our own titles if we want.
So just make sure that your Timeline marker is dragged all the way to the left at zero seconds. Let's add a new title. From the Home tab in the Add group, click Title. A new title is added, using the same special effects and formatting as we saw with the AutoMovie. You'll notice that an actual text box appears with a cursor inside, ready for you to make changes to that text. Now in this case, we saved our project. We can called it BeachMovie. That's what appears there. But we can click just left to that to start typing our own text in here.
Type in your own name, press Enter, and type in "presents". Now we'll start making some changes to this text. Click to the left of your name and drag down to get both lines. You'll notice the Format tab is now selected under Text Tools. So we can do things like change the font. Let's change the font to something more script-like. You can choose any script font you like. Let's knock the size down using the Shrink font button. The next step is 28 points. That looks pretty good. We'll leave the color at white, but we could change the color if we wanted to--or add bold and italics.
We don't need it with our Script font. We can also add transparency. Click the Transparency button and use your slider to achieve the correct level of transparency. I'm going to go to about a quarter over from the far left. So that looks pretty good. Now it's on to the Adjust group over here, where we can adjust the background color. Let's change it to a nice tan color, about 50%. This is going to match our beach theme. Now since we do that, we're changing the background color of the clip and our text.
So to go back to the text, you can go to the title itself--which is added underneath the clip on the storyboard--and double-click. That gets you right back in. Now the black background you see is how the movie starts; it's not the actual color of the clip. We have changed that background. We see it here on the storyboard. But the duration is far too long. Let's change it from seven seconds-- the default--down to three seconds. I want you to see what happens here. It's just the text. Remember, we're on the Format tab for our text.
It's down to three seconds, but the clip itself is going to sit there for seven. So if we want to adjust that, we go to the Edit tab under Video tools and change it to match. We'll go to three. Let's go back to the Format tab now under Text tools to continue working with our title. Notice the effect that's applied is right here at the beginning. It's called zoom in - small. But there are some other ones. I like the cinematic ones, for example. There is burst 1.
There is burst 2. You do hear a quick sample of it with the music in the background. Let's go with Cinematic - burst 2. Now we'll go to the second title. Now this is the one that was added initially as part of our AutoMovie, and we'll double-click it. We want to change that, so we're going to size our text box; you can drag the handles to do that. We can move it around. Let's click inside between "My" and "Movie," and type in "Beach Movie" there. There. That looks better. We'll do the same thing.
Now we'll change the Background color to match our first one. We'll choose one of the cinematic effects. Now let's see what that looks like. We'll go back to the very beginning. Let's drag our time marker to the beginning, press Play, and have a listen. (Music playing.) That looks pretty good.
So we have the titles that are added automatically for us using Auto themes or AutoMovie themes. But we can also add our own, and we have full control over what those titles look like and how they behave.

|Yes, the machine works again and I am happy with it.
After 8 loads of laundry, the agitator shaft is moving freely and there is no water leaking out the bottom of any part of the machine (and never has been). The inner drum seems to move in spin cycle as smooth and free as it ever has.
The agitator shaft inside the transmission is no longer protected by a telon surface in the bearing area. So I wait and see how long it takes for the shaft to freeze up again.
I have put in an order to my local used appliance parts guy for an agitator shaft in good condition. He says on average a week before he scraps a unit with same transmission.
My machine looks like new compared to the one in your pics. No rust; clean. It is used in a dry minnesota basement; 65 degree F year round. Lid always open when not in use.
Willie had good insight to the problem; small amount of agitator shaft seal leakage over long period of time could cause this problem. The question is how much water leakage will it take to get the transmission wet. I calculated this using published tables for volume of water in liquid and saturated air states. It turns out that the air inside the transmission at 65 degree F only needs one fifth of a drop of liquid water to become 100% saturated. With the temp changes during/after use, there is no doubt that there always will be condensing water inside the top of this transmission. I doubt that one fifth of a drop of water will ruin a well greased drum bearing.
Thanks Willie. I feel safe that the drum bearing is OK, and will closely observe the agitator shaft in the future.
