I've realized that I thoroughly enjoy podcasts where they go through, episode by episode, a show that no longer airs. Some of my favorites:
Comedian April Richardson is probably the biggest Saved By The Bell fan and she does this podcast where she watches every episode with a friend (usually fellow comedians) and then they talk about the episode. Some of the guests loved the show like she did, some are just aware of it and some others never saw it or don't like it at all. It's a great mix and it's one of the funniest things I listen to.
I've only heard one stinker amongst the whole bunch. Episode 48 featured Justin Warfield, who was actually an extra on SBTB for a short time. That premise excited me, I thought I'd hear some great stories. What I got was a guy who spent a whole episode name dropping his famous friends and acting like he was so above the show. My favorite episodes so far have been with Jimmy Pardo, episodes 25 and 52. You'll love his unique take on what to do with Screech after he messes up in getting U2 tickets for the gang.
Twilight Zone Podcast & Twilight Pwn
Let me just state that The Twilight Zone is my favorite show of all time. So discovering not one, but two podcasts from fellow fans of the show was a thrill. The first is my favorite of the two. It has recently changed hosts, but both hosts are excellent. They really dig into the episodes and give a ton of backstory on them, as well as personal insight. I'm a trivia nut so I enjoy hearing tidbits about the actors, the production, etc. The Pwn is more light-hearted, and while I like it, I do wish they'd treat it a little more serious at times. They have a great bit where they do their own version of a Rod Serling intro for the episode which I thoroughly enjoy.
Night Gallery was another anthology series, this podcast is also from the same guys behind The Twilight Zone Podcast so it's similar in nature. As Chris goes through the show, each segment gets it's own podcast episode. If you're a fan, this is a great one to give a listen, there's so much backstory to each episode. Night Gallery isn't as well known as Twilight Zone but it's similar in nature. I actually watched Night Gallery for the first time and treated this podcast as a sort of aftershow for it. This one has finished it's run.
McCoyCast is one I recently discovered. This one goes through all the 80's horror and sci-fi anthology series episode by episode. I've only listened to a few episodes and it's been hit or miss, but it seems to be much better in the more recent episodes. Most of the issues I have had with it have been audio issues.
This is one of the best TV show podcasts I've listened to. It's basically an aftershow for each episode of Breaking Bad. Vince Gilligan sits in on the majority of them and there's a ton of insight and backstory. If you're going to give BB a chance, or even if you've already watched it, this is something you will want to listen to. Unfortunately they only started with Season 2 and didn't go back to do the first season.
Do you have a favorite you'd like to add?

Hearing for Colo. teen charged in girl's slaying
GOLDEN, Colo. - A motions hearing is scheduled Friday for a Colorado teen who pleaded not guilty to murder and kidnapping in the slaying and dismemberment of a 10-year-old girl.
Austin Sigg entered the not guilty plea last month in the death of Jessica Ridgeway.
Jessica disappeared while walking to school on Oct. 5. Sigg's not guilty plea came despite his alleged confession and the discovery of some of the girl's remains at his home.
He faces life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years if convicted. Sigg, who is 18, cannot face the death penalty because he was 17 at the time of the slaying.

400 vs 455
Hey Guys
I'm new to this, I hope someone can get me going in the right direction.. I have 2 engines one of them is a 400 G018 with Casting #15 heads G038. The block codes is YE which makes this engines a 340hp 10.5 to 1 compression. The other one is a 455
J192 and the block codes is YC. The heads are 4X K172. Which makes this a 250 hp with 8 to 1 compression.. In saying all of this.. These two motor are the first I have tore down to the block. Now I don't know which one to go with to rebuild. I'm restoreing a 1966 4-door bonneville which was been in the family for 38 years. I just want when this car to crank-ups peoples heads to turn and pull out on the road push the gas and the tires to light up... Hopefully someone can get me in the right direction.. I would like around 400 to 600 hp on pump gas... Is this possable... The car will be going to olded curiz and some show not on the Drag Strip...
Thanks SpeedCrazy
The link below is good to confirm valve and chamber sizes for the 326-455 pontiac. I think your question might be----
Can you put a 4bbl on heads intended originally for a 2bbl and the answer is yes, in some cases, I won't say most-- the spec sizes are the comparable anyway.
but yes, mine originally had a 2bbl on it. Granny motor, came out of a 65 tempest with 55k, old lady turned it into a cigarette case on a telephone pole and I bought the 326 for $150.
I have ported and polished the heads since, but I need more cubes, that's why I'm building the 400. I'm already scouting for a 455. For what it's worth----
some things you can do to make your heads "bigger"
-taller rocker studs (cheap)
-roller rockers(279)
-port/ polish(free)
-over-size valves/job (about 200 at shop)
-I have heard of guys even powder coating
to increase flow(haven't confirmed this works)
-intake /carb spacers (about 40)
you get some major fuel velocity and low end torgue from this simple/cheap trick
Thanks for the infor, I went to the web site you gave me... Ok the heads I have for the 400 engine are 75cc which came with it and the heads I have for the 455 are 114cc.. If I put the heads off the 400 on the 455 will it make to much compression for pump gas or would you even do that... The 400 engine is a 1968 and the 455 engines is a 1973...
Another link, I know. This explains beyond my scope, what you would need to do if you wanted to top your smog 455 off with the retro 400 heads. It's a forum that makes alot of sense once I read it. and yes, I would have had the knee jerk "no, don't do it" but this is good info. By the way, one of the concerns the forum doesn't mention about head swapping is the fact that this is not an exact science. in a word, not all 455 blocks will play with all 400 heads and vice versa. So I would do some homework and even do a dry run with the swap to make sure they play well together on the stand and even put in the valve train to check clearances. Big things to watch:
--do the lifter seats "match" the bottom of push rod.
--are you going to run roller rockers if so, do/will they match up with the hybrid push rods you will end up using
--will the gaskets lay true
--check head bolt depth on both sets to see if they match.
--make sure you have figured out how these suckers are going to get oil--either through a galley by the lifter chamber or the hollow rod (not all rods are hollow)

Re: Big Block Pontiac Performace
tempt, since this thread was brought back from the dead, what are the specs on your Lunati Cam? i just bought a summit 2800, which was there top of the chart cam, pretty lame, but i havent installed it yet as i was gonna just put it in with my stock 2bblheads. but if i can find 4bbl 326 heads i would be able to bump the cam up. what do you think of the 2800?
Here is a general description:
I will access lift, duration, separation for you if you want or you can take part number and go to Lunati.com and they will spell it out for you.
Sorry, Haven't looked at the specs since april, A Lotta 400 cid water has gone under the bridge since then, don't remember 326 bump stick specs: here's the part number though and how I would describe it's use for you
o00072LK would be the cam and lifter part number for your car. This cam has a
lopey idle, will work with your transmission (assuming you still have the slim jim 2sp or th350,
(will handle converter and minor engine mods.
Price is $149 it's a great cam, great low-end torque and w/ the right richness on the secondaries, it will howl at WAT too.
... just looked at the 2800; this appears to be a stock cam replacement which is fine if you don't intend to make any mods. The whole thing here is that a bigger bump stick won't do much good without any air. Those heads gotta go eventhough you mentioned 114cc chambers, that's decent man--- I would do some research and find out the what intake/exhaust valves are and maybe upsize a little at the shop and go with those heads, put that 455, '73 you probably know was the last of the heavy hitter-455's to come out of detroit. As far as the 326 goes, I would pump it up with a better intake and cam, port the heads, then at least you could sell to an up-an-comer when you step up to the 455??
Last edited by tempt; 12-10-2004 at 11:21 AM.
yeah the heads always seem to be the weak link with a pontiac. but i had a big time poncho builder say the 2bbl heads i had would be incredible when hogged out. must be because of the chamber size you mentioned. i dont even remember who it was it was so long ago. what caught my eye was you said your 326 would twist the car up pretty good. i dont have the means to get a 455, and i am using this car for daily driving, i really like the milage i am getting, i do have the stock 2 speed, but was wanting to upgrade to a 4sp auto. got any recommendations? i take it your 326 had 4bbl heads? i want it to sound like a hot rod, not a grocery getter like now, and be able to burn rubber when its not raining
here's the spec on the summit 2801:Vendor Summit
Product Line Summit Camshafts
Cam Style Hydraulic flat tappet
Basic Operating RPM Range 2,000-4,500 RPM
Intake Duration 050 inch Lift 214
Exhaust Duration 050 inch Lift 224
Advertised Intake Duration 272
Advertised Exhaust Duration 282
Intake Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.442
Exhaust Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.465
Lobe Separation (degrees) 112 . think it would run with my stock heads? it's alittle bit milder than the one you ran from Lunati, that was Lunati's top of the chart cam btw.

Burn rubber when not raining, that's hilarious. I'm sorry, I thought I heard say you had your hands on a 455 at one time. The th700 is a great tranny w/ overdrive. You can buy one 4-about 3200 or take th400 and add your overdrive kit (4th gear) for about 2100 and it will be switch operated. Very cool option---- you essentially end up with twice as much plant at the track. Manual shift out of the hole wrap it to 4000, then hit overdrive and take to half gear in between each gear. BIG ADVANTAGE.
I have aluminized 2.5 pipes (unless you're running 500hp+ this is more than you'll ever need, don't ruin your bottom end by listening to these guys who bad-talk "back pressure"-- you need the right amount of back pressure in order to have any bottom end) and I kept the J pipes at 2.25 (better low-end torgue with a throatier sound (best of both worlds) my own recipe. Mufflers are dynomax --superturbos and my wife complains that one of these days our fish is going to commit suicide and jump out of the tank when I start her up. Shakes the sheeoot of the house (attached garage).
Bull, trust me, you can make a 326 perform just like a small block if you want. It shouldn't cost a lot of money either. The heads are the big thing.
Intake: Get an edelbrock performer RPM (the 'rpm' is the highrise performer)-- yes, it will still fit under your stock hood, but I put an aftermarket scoop on (Lund.com), with 2" spacer, more fuel velocity; that has the hood looking exactly like a goat hood for about $69--. This arrangement creates a ram-air effect. If you look down the scoop, all you see is cleaner--wham!! AIRHAMMER!! I did my own paint work. I will try to start one of these project folders sometime and include pics.
my wrecker here will get me either the 200-r4 or a th700 for $250. i am trying to decide which is better, has the best gear ratios although i've heard 700's would need an adapter plate. i have no idea what my gears are but they're spiders. i had a chance to get a low cr 455 but he wanted like $450 so i passed. i would have had to get heads too. (i bought a performer already so the rpm cant happen). i also dont have headers either because my friend put thorleys/performer on his catalina and it didnt improve it much. wonder what you think of maybe trading in the 2800 for the 2801 with stock exhaust, performer, Q-jet i just scored off a '76 Olds 350, or if i should just put in the 2800. i really doubt i'll be able to change trannies before summer unless my uncle dies, and i've seen some unreal 1/4 mile times from cars with only one tire spinning. i will not be doing any headwork to my heads either other than gasket matching them, what about using the 2800 with higher ratio rocker arms?
DAMN, TEMPEST! I just noticed you only have like 6 posts and there just about all in this thread!! not much of a talker are you? that's pretty weird since you probably know alot, at least about pontiacs. loosen up bro! it's good to hear from you! i re-read your posts and it seems like you did in fact put that Lunati in the 2bbl 326 since it had a 2bbl on it stock. thats the good news. bad news is i still have this 2800 cam
also, the taperformance link doesnt work anymore
Last edited by bullheimer; 12-20-2004 at 10:26 AM.
Sorry Bull,
Just changed jobs and it's kept me hoppin'. Sounds like a you gotta line on a 455. That's great, for 450 i'd snag that. They aren't on every street corner anymore---
and no, I don't know a whole lot. I just hang out with old guys who do--- and do and repeat as they tell me ))
I check out the lift on the 2801 especially if you are thinking about the scalability of your plant long term. Gently reminder---
You said it yourself, the performer, and headers won't do any good until the air is right.
#1 1.65.1 (7's might even go) srew-in studs
#2 cost 28 bucks a head to mill--- big air-- big fuel!!
#3 bigger valves- if your going to replace the valves anyway, you can get a major response from this, I'm doing it now w/ the 400 intake--1.96 to 2.11's ex-- 1.64 to 1.77's
then-- your 2801 will play big #'s with perf and headers because you'll have some wind.
-----Way Off the subject-- I just installed a gas powered 100,000 Btu airplane hanger heater in my garage Whoo Haa!! it was 11F last night and 69.4f in my garage. I took off valve springs in my socks!! this thing's a monsta!!

Full text of Mayor Ballard's 2013 State of the City speech
The following is the text of Mayor Gregory A. Ballard's 2013 State of the City Address, as prepared for delivery and delivered Friday at The Alexander:
Thank you, Mike, for that kind introduction and for your service to the citizens of our great city.
Madam President, Members of the City-County Council, special guests and friends: Thank you for joining us this afternoon for my sixth State of the City Address.
And, of course, thank you to Winnie for being my wife these last 30 years and for being such a great first lady for our city.
I'd also like to congratulate the winning teams from our first-ever citywide robotics competition.
It's amazing they can build a robot that can deliver the State of the City Address to me.
I would be grateful, if next year, they build a robot that could actually deliver it for me.
This afternoon I am pleased to report that Indianapolis is strong, and as you can see from this beautiful hotel and surrounding neighborhood, we are getting stronger every day.
Six years ago, CityWay was barely a dream. Now, it is just the latest symbol of the incredible renaissance taking place in Indianapolis.
As a city, as a community, we've done so much to make Indianapolis a destination for businesses and for families.
We are attracting talent and creating the kind of city that people want to move to.
And we are still just getting started.
Later this year, the next phase of CityWay will open with new apartments and more retail.
The YMCA will break ground by the end of the year and our partners at Buckingham are also pressing ahead with the office building and looking to expand this great new neighborhood even further.
What is taking place right here is transforming this area, and connecting the thousands of employees who work just south of here to our vibrant downtown.
That's not too bad for a project that was supposedly "controversial" simply because the city hadn't done it before.
Let me promise you: this marks just the beginning.
Take a look around.
You see growth and new life everywhere in our city.
The rundown and graffiti-covered Bank One Operations Center is being transformed into another great mixed-use development of apartments and retail called "Artistry."
A few weeks ago, I helped break ground on the new Block 400 development that will include nearly 500 luxury apartments and downtown's second grocery store.
This single project will add more retail to our downtown than any other development since Circle Centre Mall opened.
And have you been to the City Market lately? Seriously, you absolutely must check it out.
It is buzzing with people and excitement.
The transformation of the West Wing of the market into "The Platform" provides a central location for non-profits, neighborhood groups and the city to connect and create new partnerships that strengthen Indianapolis.
Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot underscore this point enough: Indianapolis is growing.
There is an excitement with all of the activity taking place – and we are just getting started.
After nearly 12 years and two false starts, the time is right – and the economy is ready – for the city to take another serious shot at redeveloping the former site of Market Square Arena.
So Monday, my administration will go to the marketplace seeking plans and proposals to turn the north lot of the former MSA site into something better than surface parking.
We know there is a lot of interest.
We've already been approached with some interesting ideas.
But make no mistake, I want to be bold.
It has been nearly 36 years since "Elvis left the building."
It is time for the MSA space to make its architectural mark again on our city, to bring new residents and retail to the near east side, and to put that prime piece of real estate back on the property tax rolls.
Development is taking place all around us.
From the exciting new plans at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, to the Mass Ave redevelopment, to a new redevelopment partnership between our western townships, surrounding communities and the airport, to a parking garage the Broad Ripple neighborhood has wanted for over 30 years now, things are happening.
And, ten years after getting our first federal grant, we are finally ready to move forward on a new downtown transit center.
Everywhere you look, you can see projects designed to make Indianapolis an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.
Indianapolis is taking on the challenges big and small that are making a difference, the biggest among them, growing our economy.
2012 was again a strong year.
Our partners at the Indy Chamber secured more than 3,300 new job commitments, worked with existing companies to retain over 8,000 jobs, and attracted commitments to invest over 600 million dollars in Indianapolis last year.
Our success is being noticed.
In January, the Milken Institute issued a report noting that Indianapolis jumped 70 spots on its vaunted "Best-Performing Cities" list.
For those that say we cannot compete for talent or jobs, I beg to differ.
An equally important economic challenge is making sure our residents have the education and tools needed to fill these jobs.
The population of Indianapolis has grown by nearly two-thirds over the past 60 years, while our urban core population has dropped nearly the same amount during the same period.
This exodus, comprised primarily of middle-income families with school-aged children, impacts the health of our city, often leading to fewer life prospects for children, higher crime rates in neighborhoods, and millions of dollars in lost tax revenue.
It is vital to our city's economic future – and to the future of our children – that we improve the educational outcome for students at our schools.
Indianapolis is off to a great start.
Our 26 Mayor-sponsored charter schools now serve 8,500 students and we have eleven more schools on the way.
Eighty-two percent of Mayor-sponsored charter schools received an "A", "B" or "C" in the State's grading model.
That's higher than the county-wide average, and most importantly, we do not have any "F"-graded schools.
And a Stanford University study recently concluded that both children of color and low-income students are significantly better off attending one of our Mayor-sponsored charter schools.
Indianapolis is truly a national leader in addressing the need to improve urban education – and that is not a title we plan to relinquish anytime soon.
Our next step is to build on our success – and we are doing so with a plan that is again drawing national attention.
Neighborhoods of Educational Opportunity will change the discussion in education reform from overall school performance to a child's access to a high-quality seat in a classroom in or near their neighborhood.
So, how do we do it? We are working with many groups including members of the IPS board, The Mind Trust, the United Negro College Fund, Urban League and many others to create 30,000 new high-quality education seats in our city over the next ten years.
To us it matters not whether that child's seat is in a public school, private school or charter school. Every child in Indianapolis deserves access to a seat in a high-quality classroom.
In the case of a great public school – let's support it and duplicate it to other neighborhoods in need. In areas where the school is right on the cusp of greatness, let's help push them over the top. And in areas where the schools are failing, let's replicate or expand a successful school into that neighborhood. That is essential – in the neighborhood.
The second part of our bold initiative partners with national groups to attract and train high-quality teachers and principals to these schools. We simply cannot have enough great school seats without enough great teachers and principals.
And, finally, we will partner with local neighborhood and charitable organizations to go door-to-door informing parents and students in struggling areas about the new opportunities available to them – in or near their neighborhood.
Our city knows how to tackle this task. We have one of only 20 plans nationally to be named a finalist in the Bloomberg Challenge. We have the only plan dealing with education. So, we are off to a great start.
Let me put this plainly.
We are making progress here because we are working with public, private and charter school officials and listening to the community.
We cannot take our foot off the pedal now.
No student should lose out on opportunity because of a zip code.
No student should lose out on opportunity because of the size of their parents' paycheck.
Everyone has a role in solving education in Indianapolis.
And, everyone has something to bring to the table.
Improving our schools is one part of the strategy to bring people back into our urban neighborhoods, but we must also provide the basic services that make these neighborhoods truly attractive to new residents.
Indianapolis is investing in its neighborhoods in record amounts through RebuildIndy – over $560 million in just the last two and a half years!
That has given us the ability to triple the amount of repaving we could do.
And instead of fixing just six to ten bridges as we would normally do in that time period, we've done 53!
And instead of demolishing an average of 400 abandoned homes over that time period, we have taken down nearly 2,000 and counting.
Our efforts to invest in our neighborhoods, fix the streets, stop the flooding, repair and improve the sidewalks, and add bike lanes are making a real difference in every part of this city. Take it from the Irvington Development Organization, and I quote:
"They said it couldn't be done, but you did it! Irvington thanks you for your efficiency and commitment to getting the Washington Streetscape project done."
But paving and improving streets isn't enough. We also need to help people who do not have or do not want cars.
A stronger mass transit system will help people seeking jobs travel to the places where the jobs exist.
It also will help our seniors get to their doctor's appointments and shop in other parts of town.
Better mass transit will help us attract talent, connect people and generate a return on investment through economic development that will take place along our major mass transit corridors.
According to one study, 81% of people between the ages of 18-34 say local transit is important to the quality of life of a community.
When I grew up, young people moved to the job.
Today, young people move to the type of city they want to live in, and then build their life there.
Cities, if they are to compete for this young talent, must provide the amenities they want. And talented young professionals want to live in cities that have strong transit systems – places like Charlotte, Minneapolis, Denver, and Salt Lake City.
Every day, we compete against those cities for jobs and talent.
Far too often we hear stories of young people who prefer to live in cities where they don't need a car.
I envision large numbers of young professionals, college graduates, drawn to all corners of Marion County because of the investments in our bike lanes, trails and transit – and what that says about our city.
We must make sure the young graduates of Butler, IUPUI and the University of Indianapolis stay in our city, and the graduates of IU, Purdue, Ball State, Rose-Hulman and other Indiana schools come to our city, earn here and contribute here, instead of moving to Chicago, Charlotte, or the California coast.
The time is now.
Our seniors want it.
Our young people want it.
Those who don't own a car want it.
We have cleared the first few hurdles at the Statehouse, but there is still a long way to go.
I ask each of you to join me in encouraging our state lawmakers to let the people of Central Indiana vote on a regional mass transit system that will help grow our community and improve our quality of life!
I speak often about mass transit, but I do not want you to think that it's just a singular idea or project. We must coordinate RebuildIndy, Indy Parks, IndyGo and mass transit improvements to encourage growth in our neighborhoods.
It's called "placemaking," and its time has come in Indianapolis.
In December, the Lilly Endowment generously gave us $10 million to renovate and upgrade 13 Indy Parks. Many of these parks are located on key IndyGo routes.
That is a major reason why Tarkington Park will receive funds to begin a revitalization that includes playground upgrades, new shelters, a water feature and more. Six different IndyGo bus routes converge on Tarkington Park.
Imagine heading home on the Number 19 bus to the Castleton-area after a summer concert at Tarkington one weeknight, or bringing your kids to the park's new water feature on the Number 39 bus that runs along east 38th Street.
What a great opportunity to further knit together the neighborhoods of Meridian-Kessler, Butler Tarkington, Mapleton-Fall Creek and Watson-McCord.
Tarkington Park has potential to augment its value to residents precisely because of its location relative to our growing transit options. And that is just one example. We have many others where we can link together our efforts to strengthen neighborhoods in our community.
In the next few years, we are going to coordinate city investments along our key transit corridors, specifically between Tarkington Park and Garfield Park running north-south, and between Ellenberger Park and the former Central State Hospital site heading east-west.
We also will focus on adding sidewalks and repairing existing sidewalks in the areas that complement the city's bus routes.
As you can see, we are taking the steps necessary to improve our city's quality of life.
While the quality of life in our neighborhoods remains a top priority, we must also address quality of life issues in our downtown.
Unfortunately, one of the biggest complaints we get involves panhandling.
I must admit, despite the best intentions of our administration and many elected officials before us, the problem has not improved.
I am hearing concerns from people who do not want to come downtown to shop, from business and tourism officials who say it's starting to affect business, and even from motorists who are tired of people begging at off ramps and intersections not downtown.
To be candid, I agree with them.
A few months ago we engaged many partners, including caucus leaders on the Council, Indianapolis Downtown, Inc., the Indy Chamber, VisitIndy, IMPD, homeless support organizations and many others to study the problem again.
We asked them to take a look at what other cities are doing and propose a solution.
These leaders, with my support, will soon introduce an ordinance that will strengthen the regulations on panhandling in our commercial business zones.
These regulations would prohibit both aggressive and non-aggressive panhandling, like people shaking cups and holding signs.
This ordinance also would expand the prohibition on panhandling outside of downtown between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 a.m.
And, it would prohibit panhandling near intersections, crosswalks, building entrances or parking meters.
Similar bans have been enacted in cities in Florida and Texas.
Let me be clear: This proposed ordinance is not an attack on our homeless population.
In fact, studies by the Coalition for Homeless Intervention and Prevention found almost none of the panhandlers downtown were actually homeless.
The activities of these panhandlers are designed to prey upon the charitable instincts of Hoosiers and our guests. They exist for their own profit, not for the charitable benefit of the less fortunate. Many of them even have shift changes. Most panhandling downtown and at our intersections is a racket, and it needs to stop.
I hope this ordinance will be adopted by the Council so people can enjoy downtown without having their sense of security threatened by people hassling them for money.
Indianapolis should be proud that we have such a relatively safe city.
Last year marked the third straight year IMPD reported fewer than 100 criminal homicides.
You'd have to go pretty far back in the history books to find the last time that happened.
Of course, we can't rest on our laurels. Thanks to great leadership and the dedication of the 1,600 men and women of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, we are working with community leaders and other partners to quickly deal with issues as they arise.
In response to a few highly publicized incidents downtown, we flooded the area with officers and volunteers and also worked with our partners to warn known troublemakers not to come downtown.
And last summer, IMPD North District helped the Glenview neighborhood deal with an increase in burglaries not just with more officers, but also by holding community meetings and helping people make their neighborhood less inviting to crime.
The result?
Burglaries in that neighborhood plummeted from 24 over a two-month period to just three in the following two months.
Great police work and community engagement led to the arrest of two suspects.
People slept easier and they are now calling police at the first sight of something out of the ordinary rather than wait to report a crime that already has occurred.
Cooperation between our public safety agencies and community leaders is getting stronger every day, and that is a very good thing.
We saw it last month with a tremendous outpouring of public support following the tragic accident that took the lives of Indianapolis EMS private Timothy McCormick and Specialist Cody Medley.
We saw it following the Southside explosion.
I cannot adequately describe the incredible coordination and unprecedented generosity from non-profits, the private sector, and the community at large following the Richmond Hill explosion.
Mary Bryan Elementary School, Southport Presbyterian Church, Ready Indy, the American Red Cross, and countless businesses and private citizens came together to help in that neighborhood's greatest time of need.
These examples and many others show that when we work together we can address the public safety needs of our city.
New Public Safety Director Troy Riggs and Police Chief Hite are engaging the community and our police officers looking for ways to encourage more collaboration and modernizing the way we do business.
Crime prevention and neighborhood improvement go hand in hand.
So, it makes sense that an area with a crime problem might also have code violations, illegal dumping, animal control issues and other issues where concentrated city resources can make a lasting difference.
So much of my job as Mayor focuses on matters that make a difference in our neighborhoods and the city as a whole.
It is not often that a local official can make a difference on a national and global issue. But the fact is we are right now, especially when it comes to breaking the transportation sector's addiction to oil.
As a retired Marine officer and veteran of the first Gulf War, I have long been concerned that our dependence on foreign oil compromises our national security.
History will not look kindly on us when reflecting on the past 40 years, as the U.S. and her allies participated in the greatest voluntary transfer of wealth in world history.
In fact, many experts make the case that the U.S. is funding both sides of the Global War on Terror.
Ever since the OPEC oil embargoes of the 1970s demonstrated that foreign countries could virtually cripple our domestic transportation energy supply, the U.S. and its allies have faced a growing problem.
Our transportation sector and our quality of life are dependent on foreign oil. It is that simple.
And that makes us vulnerable.
Being held hostage to foreign oil also means we have less strategic leverage when facing those who are hostile to our national interests.
There are real costs to this dependence. The tragedy of war. The separation of families.
We spend $85 billion a year protecting oil infrastructure around the world in addition to the enormous costs of the conflicts.
That is money we could be using back home to reduce the deficit or direct to other critical needs in our country.
I know some people point to reduced imports of foreign oil and say we don't need to take this step any longer. They are wrong.
While US oil imports stand at their lowest level since 1999, we still imported about 40% of all our oil last year. This is unacceptable.
Think about it: despite high domestic production and decreasing imports – gas prices still hit near record highs last month with prices approaching $4 per gallon.
Since oil and gas prices are determined elsewhere in the world, the only way we can protect our national security interests is to reduce our dependency on oil and find alternative energies to power our transportation needs.
In the past we had no choice but to live this way, but now we have the technology to change that dynamic.
And we'll save significant money to boot.
So in early December, I signed an Executive Order to move Indianapolis' entire city fleet to post-oil technology by 2025.
Yes, that's right: under this order, we will be the first city in the nation to do so.
Here is our plan:
First, for our non-emergency cars, we will only buy electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles moving forward.
We estimate this will save taxpayers approximately $12,000 per car over the life of the vehicle.
Second, we will replace our entire heavy vehicle fleet, including snow plows and fire trucks, with vehicles powered by compressed natural gas.
And lastly, Indianapolis will partner with auto manufacturers to develop a real response-ready plug-in hybrid police car that gets at least 40-50 miles per gallon.
This would be a huge breakthrough. It would save taxpayers six million dollars a year. And, it would dramatically reduce our largest use of oil in the city.
It has been a very busy three months since we first announced this plan.
We've gotten incredible national and international coverage and interest.
People are talking to us, wanting to help and to get involved.
In January, I attended the North American International Auto Show in Detroit to discuss our initiative with automakers. Then I made our case at the US Conference of Mayors meeting in Washington, D.C. – where again other mayors, energy security leaders and the U.S. Department of Energy were eager to get involved.
We may be the first city to take such comprehensive action, but my goal is for other cities, states, federal agencies and the private sector to get on board so we can eliminate America's dependence on foreign oil.
This is becoming a national movement that is starting at the local level, and we started it.
It's time to bring the troops home.
In area after area, example after example, Indianapolis is taking the lead, doing exciting new things – and really we have only just begun.
I do not have to remind you about the great work that David Sherman and others did with our sewer problems – and how other cities now look to us to address their problems as well.
Last month, officials from Cincinnati visited our office to learn how we modernized our parking meter system, a deal that increased the city's net parking meter proceeds from $339,000 in 2010 to $2.5 million last year.
We are building on the great work started by Mayor Bart Peterson and are widely considered the capitol of education reform.
And now, we are taking the lead in the movement to rid our transportation sector from its dependence on oil.
As I travel, I am constantly amazed at the number of people who come up to me across the country to remark about all the great things happening in Indianapolis.
We live it every day, so maybe some of us take it for granted – but that's ok because it's true.
Our city is filled with great people and a lot of exciting new projects and opportunities.

So, celebrate with me Indianapolis – just for a moment – because we have earned it.
And then let's get back to work.
Thank you very much.

FORT FISHER, NC (NEWS RELEASE) — It happened much sooner than expected. The NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher released two loggerhead sea turtles to the care of the NC Wildlife Resources Commission for an Atlantic release. The two turtles were part of a group of eight cold-stunned loggerheads receiving care and medical treatment at the Aquarium since New Year's Day.
Thursday, the two sea turtles received final assessments at the Aquarium and were transported to the US Coast Guard Station Fort Macon, in Atlantic Beach, for an overnight stay. On Friday morning, the USCG Cutter Seahorse ferried the turtles to warm Atlantic waters where they were released, according to Matthew Godfrey, Biologist, NC Wildlife Resources Commission Sea Turtle Project.
The animals were part of a mass cold-stun event in New England in December when more than 150 endangered sea turtles were rescued after becoming ill from prolonged exposure to cold water temperatures. After their initial rescue, the New England Aquarium in Boston cared for the turtles until they were transferred to the Aquarium at Fort Fisher on January 1. Aquarium staff implemented a specialized care and rehabilitation plan for all eight of the loggerheads and expected the recuperation time to be at least a month.
The two turtles, however, had different plans. The animals were eating well, gained weight and completed medical treatment. Their progress and space on the USCG vessel presented an opportunity.
"Returning healthy sea turtles to their natural habitat to live and grow was our goal," Aquarium Curator Hap Fatzinger said. "These turtles improved quickly and can get back to the wild. This is the best case scenario for them."
Fatzinger is optimistic about the recovery and release of the remaining six loggerhead sea turtles in the Aquarium's care. Some, however, will require a longer rehabilitation period.
Cold-stunned sea turtles occur in the coastal waters of North Carolina, as well. Anyone who finds a sick, injured or dead sea turtle should contact the NC Wildlife Resources Commission Sea Turtle Stranding Network at (252) 241-7367.

Mets slide reaches six straight with 4-3 loss to the Nationals
WASHINGTON – The 41-year-old reliever saved some of his wildest pitches for the locker room. Minutes after the Mets dropped their sixth straight game, a 4-3 loss to Washington at Nationals Park on Wednesday night, Miguel Batista uncorked a curve.
"I believe we are the best team in baseball," Batista said. "We just have to play as one."
And then there was this: "Right now [the Nationals are] playing good baseball. But I don't believe they're a better team than us."
And this: "October is not here yet. We'll see at the end of the season."
There were two ways to interpret Batista's three-minute address. It could be viewed as a poised display of confidence, the kind of show-no-fear determination that Mets manager Terry Collins covets.
Or it could be viewed as a fiddler picking up his instrument while the city surrounding him is burning.
Is Rome burning? The Mets, seven games over .500 just 11 days ago, are now only one game over that barrier. The Mets, a half-game out of a wild card at the All-Star break, now trail Atlanta by 3 1/2 games.
"I don't think we're going to sit around and feel sorry for ourselves," Mets starter Chris Young said. "You make your own luck. We've got to snap out of it and we will."
It was Batista, not Young, who released the most costly pitch of the night. Staring into a 2-0 hole, Batista put one down the middle. Steve Lombardozzi redirected the pitch into right field, a seventh-inning double that stretched a 2-1 lead into a 4-1 lead.
Asked if Lombardozzi hit a mistake, Batista said, "No. It was 2-and-0. I had to come right down the middle. I didn't want to load the bases to get the next guy."
A pair of too-little, too-late, ninth-inning homers by David Wright and Jason Bay brought the Mets close, but not close enough. Jordany Valdespin pinch-hit with a chance to even things up with one swing, but struck out to end the game.
Before the game, Collins held a clear-the-air meeting. Upset with a wayward quote from reliever Pedro Beato, he hoped to instill a sense of accountability in his players. But he also wanted to remind them how quickly all those good vibes from the first half could evaporate.
"This thing could go flat," Collins said before the game. "We're not going to let it."
And yet when the game started, the losing ways continued. Young (2-4) carried a shutout into the sixth, but watched it slip away with one pitch to Washington first baseman Adam LaRoche. Two batters after phenom Bryce Harper motored out an infield hit, LaRoche made good on Harper's hustle. LaRoche launched a 1-2 pitch into the seats in left-center, giving Washington a 2-0 lead.
Collins did not think it was a bad pitch. It offered Young little consolation.
"Right now I'm just so mad that I cost us the game," Young said. "I'll look past that and evaluate later. But right now I'm fixated on the result."
Collins said that strong pitching performances like the one Young authored Tuesday night (six innings, two runs) eventually will pull the team out of this funk. But for now, the Mets are trying not to treat their situation as a four-alarm fire.
"Every team goes through stretches like this we're hitting right now," Young said. "I was on a team in San Diego that lost 10 in a row in September. I'd rather get it out of the way now. … Hopefully, we'll get this behind us and play good baseball the rest of the way and be right there in the end."
"We're not going to quit," Young said. "We're not going to go away."

Turning 'Plan B' Into a 'Plan A' LifeHistorians in the News
"Susan Ferber is executive editor for American and world history at Oxford University Press USA. Her list includes academic and trade titles on topics ranging from ancient history to contemporary history, many first books as well as works by senior scholars. Books she has edited have won numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize and Bancroft Prize, and five have become national best sellers. She also teaches at the book workshop of the Columbia Publishing Course."
That brief bio is the public record of my life. But it's a polished narrative, like my CV, and it strikes me that the true value in the continuing discussion about alternate career paths for historians lies in talking about what usually gets erased from such documents: the detours, wrong turns, time spent stuck in traffic, even the metaphorical car crashes.
To have that conversation involves telling the stories of our professional careers. So here's an excerpt from mine since it feels as though this is a fitting time for a confession: My entire career—to borrow from Jim Grossman and Tony Grafton's much-discussed article (published in Perspectives and in The Chronicle)—is a Plan B. Or, if I am really honest, it's a letter much further down the alphabet....
Without detailing what I really wanted, I will just say that I've come to appreciate that being No. 2 or lower on the hierarchy has made me who I am. That person is surely more resilient as a result, and there is extra sweetness in achieving what I have had to work hard to get. If one believes that larger forces are at work, my experiences could be a sign that someone or something knew me better than I knew myself, and that my Plan B should have been my Plan A all along, if only I had been perceptive enough to recognize it....

JFK2 - The sequel to Oliver Stone's JFK, you won't see in the cinema. A thoroughly documented criminal indictment establishing beyond a reasonable doubt the guilt of George H.W. Bush as a supervisor in the conspiracy to assassinate John Kennedy. The evidence relies primarily on government documents and public records. The center piece of the evidence is a memo entitled "Assassination of President John F. Kennedy", signed by J Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI, 5 days after the assassination, which names Bush as a supervisor of CIA-trained assassins. Another FBI memo establishes Bush's presence in the Dallas area at the time of the assassination. These memos are corroborated extensively with details from Bush's own official history of his life (also known as JFK 2 Part 1).

The quartet of four free agents that denied qualifying offers this winter is now down to two, after Rafael Soriano signed with the Nationals on Tuesday, following in the footsteps of Adam LaRoche. That leaves just Kyle Lohse and Michael Bourn both unsigned, and with Soriano and LaRoche falling off the market this month, one would expect Lohse and Bourn to eventually find new employers as well. But the question still remains: which teams are the favorites for each of these players? Seems like something we should tackle this week... This week, we've been running our TOC Top Ten series, focusing on the ten best players at each position around the diamond. So far, we've tackled all of the infield positions. Here are some quick links in case you missed any of the rankings. -Catcher -First Base -Second Base -Shortstop -Third Base Today, we'll tackle the three outfield positions. Tomorrow, we'll look at left-handed and right-handed starters, Friday, we'll look at left-handed and right-handed relievers. There will likely be a companion piece focusing on a specific player for each of these positions, but there might not be depending on what happens in the way of breaking news. Speaking of those companion pieces, we've looked at whether or not the Giants should explore an extension with Buster Posey, and whether or not it's prudent for the Diamondbacks to do the same with Aaron Hill following his career year in 2012. And finally, if you need a laugh today, take a look at the ridiculous saga of Nyjer Morgan cheating on his girlfriend, tweeting about it, and then immediately claim he was hacked. Of course. Enjoy your offseason, everyone. [follow]

Braised Beef Rolls RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
THIS recipe originally called for short ribs, but to create a lower-fat version, I substituted flank steak or London broil cuts. This is a great company dish because it can be fixed ahead. Everyone enjoys the old-fashioned sweet-sour flavor. -Mary Kay Ankney, Springfield, Oregon
Recommended: Our Favorite Slow Cooker Beef Recipes
- 2 to 3 pounds London broil or beef flank steak rolls
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1-3/4 cups water, divided
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 medium onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 bay leaf, optional
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Hot cooked rice
- Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, brown meat on both sides in oil; drain.
- Combine 1-1/2 cups water, brown sugar, raisins, onion, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard and bay leaf if desired in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Combine flour and remaining water until smooth; stir into raisin sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over the meat.

As Auckland merges to create a supercity, the Herald looks back at how Auckland has changed over the years. Click here to view the full series.
Auckland changed remarkably in the decades after World War II. Its transformation can be attributed to two main developments - migration and motorways.
First, Maori began to migrate in significant numbers from rural
ancestral areas to cities, particularly Auckland. At the same time,
New Zealand opened its doors to migration from the Pacific and
Auckland rapidly became Polynesia's largest city.
By the time the Harbour Bridge opened in 1959 it was destined to become part of a new kind of highway. Dedicated "motorways" were designed to carry traffic quickly from all corners of the city and, eventually, right through the city without meeting a traffic light.
The southern motorway started at the edge of the city and went south to before starting its much more costly and destructive path north through
established suburbs. Meanwhile, the western motorway was starting with a causeway to Te Atatu that would change the shape of West Auckland.
Urban sprawl, planners called it, as they formed new land zoning authorities to try to control it and drew up public transport schemes to try to counter the attractions of the private car. In the years of Auckland's post-war sprawl, the car prevailed.

Hardcore off-roader's strengths on the rough stuff are let down by its on-road weaknesses.
Today's cars are just so nice to drive. You switch them on and off, almost like an appliance. It wasn't like that back in the old days; heavy, sloppy things they were and also bouncy, noisy and tiring.
Don't believe me? Then go and drive a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The thing's a time machine, dating all the way back to 1941.

Mohawk to market artistic rugs
March 26, 2001,
SUGAR VALLEY, GA -Mohawk Home, based here, has forged a licensing agreement with Media Arts Group Inc. in San Jose, CA, to create several new collections of area rugs inspired by the painting of artist Thomas Kinkade.
"Kinkade is a very spiritual painter. He's the painter of light," said Patrick Moyer, vp, marketing for Mohawk Home. "He's huge, he's enormously popular."
The new area rug line will coordinate with Kinkade's existing line of upholstery fabrics sold at La-Z Boy stores nationwide. Mohawk also expects to sell the rugs to other furniture stores. But under the licensing agreement, Mohawk will have restricted distribution of the product.
"Kinkade's got only upstairs distribution right now, and it's a price point that's a little higher than we typically do," Moyer explained, referring to the $299 to $499 price tags the new Kinkade rugs will garner.
Mohawk already manufacturers, through its Goodwin Weavers division, the Thomas Kinkade lines of woven throws, decorative pillows, wall tapestries and computer monitor covers.
"Right now, Kinkade throws are very big for us, and we don't even sell them at mass," Moyer said. "We sell them through more than 20,000 independent gift merchants around the country."
The new Kinkade rugs will be made in Mohawk's Calhoun, GA, plant. The construction will include border rugs with woven insets and rugs that are entirely woven.
"For the design, we'll pull an element from the painting, like a bridge or light post or rod-iron fence, and we'll coordinate it with the furniture," Moyer said. "We want to try to capture the essence and spirit of the artwork."

April 29, 2014
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Former University of Michigan men's swimming and diving head coach Jon Urbanchek (1982-2004) was named the recipient of the 2014 Speedo Lifetime Achievement Award, the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) announced yesterday (Monday, April 28). Urbanchek, now a volunteer assistant coach at USC, will receive the award at the CSCAA Annual Banquet on Thursday, May 22, held in conjunction with the CSCAA Convention in Las Vegas, Nev.
The Speedo CSCAA Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to the individual whose efforts best exemplify the integrity and ideals of collegiate swimming and who has achieved significant success in the sport while still imparting the educational and character-building qualities of the collegiate swimming experience.
Urbanchek was head coach of the Michigan men's swimming and diving team for 22 years, amassing a dual-meet record of 163-34-0 (.827), including a mark of 100-4-0 (.962) against Big Ten opponents. He led the Wolverines to 13 Big Ten Conference titles -- including a stretch of 10 straight from 1986-95 -- and one national championship (1995). He was a nine-time Big Ten Swimming Coach of the Year and was CSCAA Coach of the Year in 1995.
On the international level, Urbanchek has coached over 40 Olympians and has participated in the last seven Olympic Games, serving as an assistant coach for Team USA in five (1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004) and as a special assistant in two (2008, 2012). He was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 2008.

Former Los Angeles Lakers head coach and 11-time NBA champion Phil Jackson has separated himself from the team from a professional standpoint, but he, like the rest of the basketball-watching public, has watched the 25-29 team struggle.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated's Jack McCallum, Jackson said the issues that plague Los Angeles are as simple as looking at the under-utilization of Dwight Howard.
"They just don't put the ball in the post," Jackson said. "They'll use a screen-roll to get the guy in the post. But there's no consistent plan to do it. Yes, Kobe [Bryant] will go in there. But Dwight [Howard] just doesn't get any touches. They've basically eliminated his assets."
About Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard — they've had their share of differences this season, and Mike D'Antoni's system of utilizing perimeter players as opposed to pounding the ball inside to two 7-footers has caused Howard to be ineffective at times. Jackson masterfully utilized Shaquille O'Neal's strengths to create opportunities for perimeter players like Derek Fisher, Rick Fox and Robert Horry. Those players made names for themselves by playing off the sport's biggest name.
So why then, does Howard look lost with these Lakers? There's the health issue for one — he's still not fully recovered from a back injury that sidelined him at the end of last season and a torn labrum in his right shoulder that won't heal fully until treated in the offseason.

No doubt that Andy's boys gave him the word, and upon further consideration it was deem that his lifestyle trumped the we the people.
Another words he has no backbone.. The law won't effect him in the least so screw the gun owners.. Why should he risk his job another kiss azz.
Elected officials pander to their voter base. What is so hard to understand about that?
It cuts both ways.
You cannot serve two masters, true when it was first said, and true today. Oath Keepers made their choice and the Sheriff of Albany made his.
Elected officials pander to their voters.
The upstate Sheriffs who protest the SAFE Act are doing exactly what he is doing.
Silver and the NYC traitors are doing the same thing.
Politicians ONLY care about getting re-elected. Everything else is just the stuff that have to put up with between elections.
That is a very cynical view of things scosgt. Partially true, but cynical none the less, and in no way changes the truth in my statement. To some, their self interest is their master, and should not be in public service. Swearing to an oath is a very serious undertaking to many of us, I know it was for me.
Albany County is super liberal, he will do w/e it takes to keep his job and salary.
But when the shoe is on the other foot, we want the Sheriff of a liberal County to "have political courage" and ignore SAFE at the expense of his job.
It just cuts both ways. They want to keep their job and salary. There is no such thing as political courage.
And frankly, we don't want them to have any courage. We want them to represent the people who voted for them and UPHOLD their rights. As a couple of traitors in Colorado recently found out.
