A hot small block 350...
So I'm building a small block 350 to put in a '76 Chevy short stepside, and I'm starting to realize that bigger parts is not always better. This thing doesn't need to do 9 second times, but I have a little money and am willing to sink it here to make the rig fast
My goals are to have something tending more quick than a high top speed, though at the same time I plan to have everything balanced and put together for high RPM's.
Above all I LOVE the rough idle of a high overlap cam, but don't want one at the expense of to much performance.
So here's the question. I have a new Edelbrock 650 carb, headers on straight through duel exahust, and am looking for recomendations for cam, valve train components, intake manifold, and whatever else you think would make this thing quick.
Oh, I have a 400 Turbo W/Shift kit and a 700R4, whichever. Don't know rearend, but can pretty easily get whatever.
What do you all think?
In my experience, there are 3 ways to make a vehicle QUICKER.
1. Pass more air through the motor by using a bigger motor or extending the rpm range of the one you have.
2. Using a shorter gear to apply more work to the tire.
3. Bolt a blower on it.
For a mostly street-driven motor, passing more air through the one you have by extending the rpm range (naturally aspirated) doesn't make much sense. It results in a soggy bottom due to the longer cam you must run to support the extended rpm's which must then be crutched up with a looser converter to get "up on the cam" and move the truck from a standstill. You then have the problem of the converter slipping at cruise rpm's, wasting fuel and building heat which must be addressed. And of course with the longer cam, you must build the motor with a higher static compression ratio to support the cam and that gets you into trouble with using pump gas. Given what I just said, using a bigger motor looks to be the better solution to the problem. If you're hung up on a small block, then either go with a stroker kit or start with a 400 block. If you're open to options on the motor, start with a big block. It's a bolt-in in your truck.
Using a blower will make the motor think it's half-again bigger than it actually is and it will still be street-friendly. Build with somewhere in the range of 8.0:1 static compression ratio with good parts in the short block.
As far as the transmission, the 700R4 would be a far better choice so long as you realize that a stock box won't take a lot of abuse. It will give you a 3.06 first gear compared to a 2.48 first gear on the TH400, so getting the truck moving from a standstill will be done easier with the shorter gear. Then, you have the added benefit of an overdrive gear (0.70) in the 700R4 to reduce rpm's whan cruising and save a little fuel and wear and tear on the motor. Using a 3.50 to 3.70 rear gear would give you the best of both worlds, acceleration and reduced rpm's for cruising. (2.59 final drive with a 3.70 rear gear).
If you do go with the 700R4, do some research on strengthening it so it will stand up to the abuse you will dish out to it.
Read this article I wrote for the wiki to understand more about why a shorter gear will accelerate the vehicle quicker......

You're very smart for spending money on the right things instead of the bigger things.
Big payoffs can be found in heads. Cams are pretty much standard. Some companies use different ramp speeds but overall output for a given cam card will be the same regardless of manufacturer. Heads on the other hand can be wildly different. Keep the intake port volume as low as possible while still getting as much flow as possible. An excellent example of this is a Vortec head which flows an impressive 239 cfms with a small 170cc intake port. Most of the aftermarket heads from Dart, World, and Brodix can't match that with 180cc ports.
Flow makes horsepower. Small ports make high velocity which makes torque and drivability. Don't go overboard on 200cc heads since that will sacrifice drivability and torque.
Spending money on heads will almost always pay off. Vortecs will do really well up to 400 hp as-cast, more with porting.
Once you select heads you'll find that you can achieve your power goals with less cam. A good comparison is an old-school muscle car engine vs. an LS1. The old school small block used to make 350 hp, but it needed 11:1 compression and a seriously lumpy cam to compensate for pathetic heads. An LS1 does it with 10.5:1 and an incredibly mild cam. Not to mention, an LS1 is just a whiff away from 450-500 hp with very minor work. That's a good example of how the LS1's excellent heads can make the same horsepower with a silky smooth idle and tons of torque.
I personally would go for a vortec-headed small block in the 9:1 range. Choose a cam to fit your horsepower needs up to the limits of the heads. A cam that would make about 350-400 hp with vortec heads might look something like 212/218 duration on a 112 LSA. You'll get a little lope out of it.
Can't stress it enough: Big power with streetability and torque means most of your money should be spent in the heads.
As far as the tranny is concerned, crunch the numbers. I personally cannot stand the 700r4 tranny. The 3.06 first jumping to a 1.63 second is the largest ratio jump of any automatic tranny ever. GM did it to compensate for the super high cruising gears they put in their cars. What it means is; unless you have a crazy fat torque curve, it will cause your acceleration to suffer by dropping your RPMs too far in the 1-2 shift.
The Th400 is an excellent and darn near bullet proof tranny, but has neither an OD or a lockup TC. You might find it to be a non-issue depending on your torque peak and how much time you actually spend on the highway. You might be able to find a rear axle ratio that satisfies all situations with only 3 gears in the tranny.
For a 4-speed I might suggest a 200-4r... but like the 700r4 it has some weaknesses. It has one of the nicest gear ratio spreads 1-3, plus it has a .67 OD. That means you can run deeper rear gears, have the same 1st gear launch as the 700r4, and still get your highway revs down with the tall OD. Plus you get a debatably stronger tranny with a much more reasonable 1-2 shift.

Curtis is correct. Using the correct heads will pass more air in the same rpm range originally planned.
So this is pretty cool. It has finally given me a direction from all the mass of information I found. Thanks very much!
Tech, I thought about putting a blower in, but I'm not sure it's worth the $$. Besides, I don't really think the motor is built enough to justify/withstand a blower. Though I adore the sound, especially with a blow off valve
F-Bird answered a lot of the questions, thanks! If I go with your recipe, which sounds pretty good to me, I'm going to be replacing a lot of the moving parts. Great! Is there any reason I would not want to have everything balanced at the same time? That makes a huge amount of sense to me. Wouldn't that also vastly help my top RPM? What's the thoughts on that?
Curtis, it sounds like those Vortec heads are bowtie brand, but what motors do they come off? I have quite a selection of mills to pull parts from...
Regarding the gearing, I was leaning towards the TH400 already. The rearend under it now (whatever that may be) is pretty dang low so that when you get up to 60mph the RPM's are climbing, at least to my untrained ear and lack of tach. But if you punch it at that point, dang... it moves!! :-D
I definantly like the small block because of the higher RPM and lighter weight. If I tear into this 350 though and find that the cylindars/compression is bad, is there any reason not to make it a 383? I also have a 400 small block, but didn't like the lack of water jackets... even though I have a four core radiator to put in this thing
Would the recipe change dramaticly if I did that? Is there a genuine reason to do that? I've heard awesome things about the 350 and it is currently big enough to fit my ego, at least for a first rod And 400hp is what I was shooting for to begin with. The whole thing sounds like poetry to me, but just thought I would check out other options while I'm here.
Thanks again for all the help! Lots of good ideas. I'll try and get a project journal and pics as soon as I get back. Grrrr... I'm a firefighter (I work communications out on the big wildfires) and got tapped for this fire just when things were getting interesting. While this is funding my project, words can not express my eagerness to get back to that beautiful blue pile of scrap metal...
Ahhh... I'm just begining to understand torque vs. horsepower. So cubic inches are going to dictate torque rather than HP, essentially? Or rather, size has more of an effect on torque? Which granted, is going to get me off the line faster, but with the light back end of this stepside I suspect I'm going to have all the torque I know what to do with coming off the line
Well, its complicated but you have the basic idea. Torque is created by peak cylinder pressures; that is to say, when you assemble and engine with certain parts it will run with certain parameters. An engine is a fixed mechanical piece, so the combination of parts performs "best" at one RPM. The combination of parts works together in such a way that the valves opening and closing combined with head flow, carb size, etc, in such a way that at a certain RPM it traps the greatest amount of air/gas in the cylinder for combustion. It is at this point that the combustion pressure is greatest and has the greatest effect on the crank. That is to say, that is where the torque peak is. Horsepower is a way of expressing how the engine makes torque over time. If an engine makes 100 lb-ft of torque at 2000 rpms, it makes less horsepower than an engine with 100 lb-ft at 3000 rpms because the second engine is applying that same torque 50% more often. That's extremely simplified and possibly a bit confusing, but suffice it to say that the "larger" the part (bigger cam, more flow in the heads, bigger exhaust, etc) the higher RPM the engine will need to spin to make its power and torque. All the parts need to be matched so they work together.
On the street, you want your torque and power to come at a lower RPM, so you shouldn't go too nuts with parts.
Torque is the force that overcomes inertia, so torque will launch you and put you back in the seat. Horsepower is still a very effective means of acceleration, but what actually gets you moving from a stop is torque.
So, having done a little more reserch, I think I'm leaning towards using Vortec heads rather than Edelbrock heads. $1000 for heads is a little more than I want to sink into any one part at this point, though they sound good. But the Vortec heads also sound pretty solid for this build, and with the Edelbrock Performer Air-Gap intake should be a pretty good.
I'm assuming that the stock valves, springs, etc in the Vortec heads are going to want replacing... right? Or are they good as is, and will match up with that Isky 280 cam?
I'm still pretty hazy on how to know what the valve size and lift should be with any given set up. I now understand that you can have oversized head ports and runners causing you to loose air flow. But can that be an issue with valves? Is anything short of the piston running into the valve a bad thing?
Thanks again for all the help!
how much lift you need is more a fuction of how much the heads flow. On a flowbench, heads will flow their most at a certain valve lift. In the case of the vortecs its at about .500" lift on the intake side, then it starts falling off at .600" lift. If you choose your valve lift for .550" you spend the maximum amount of time at or near the peak flow which means horsepower. Any more lift and wasting time at lifts that are too high and you'll lose power.
Great dialog here. Curtis, I think you and a few others are really helping this youngster on his (assumption on my part) way. I just happened to note that "plays. . . " mentioned an Edelbrock Performer air gap. I'd just like to chime in that the Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap would likely be a better choice in any kind of performance 350, unless Corvette-like hood clearance was an issue. In a truck, I doubt it would be.
Yes indeed, thank you all so much! I have ten times the grasp on the subject that I did before, and a very definite direction. Thanks!

LugPol Truck Trial Rules
TrTr in Poland
Friday 4 December 2009, by
1. General Rules
1.1 The competition
During the Lego Truck Trial competitions participants watch as the trucks move along the stage. The goal is to check the drivers' skills and the vehicles' manouverability on the stage with numerous obstacles. The competition regulations specify the details.
1.2 Competitors
People of age between 3 and 99 are allowed to participate in the competitions. The team may consist of 2 people. The truck must be designed by the competitors.
1.3 Application
To apply for the competition please inform the host. Make sure to follow the determined competition procedure.
Competitor is obliged to supply the host with nickname and required vehicle specifications. These information will be validated with the original truck specification. Successful verification allows to proceed to the competition.
1.3.1 Required vehicle specifications
make of a truck and model name
wheel track and axle base
weight of the truck
motive motors (catalog number and quantity)
steering motors (catalog number and quantity)
winch motors
truck blueprints, photos, schemes. The delivered information must allow the comparison with the original truck
1.4 Vehicle limit
Each team may use only one vehicle during the competition.
1.5 Referees
During the competitions there will be from 1 up to 3 (max) referees that are not connected with any of the team. In case of no referee the host becomes one. He also lays obligation to impartiality. The referee starts the trucks, notes the stage pass. He also has the right to change his decision if - in his opinion - the decision was incommensurable to the situation that occured during the stage pass.
1.6 Starting grid
The referee prepares the starting grid before the commence of the competition.
The first team should be ready to start right after announcement of the starting grid. The next team may not start the pass unless the previous team has completed the stage. If any team reports technical problems before the start, team may ask for changing the starting position. Then next team must be ready with it's truck.
The decision about not starting must be reported to the referee and to the following team.
2. Competition events
2.1 Modifier
The modifier is calculated:
(weight of the truck [g])/(sum of all motors' power for 9V)
The trucks are weighted right before the competition
- PF Medium/1,04W
Source: www.philohome.com/motors/motorcomp.htm
2.2 Scoring
Multiplier has an effect on the starting sequence.
Points on each stage are added for:
called off start - 0 points
stage completion +1 point
+1 point for every defeated rival
+1 point bonus for second place
+2 point bonus for winning the stage
The winner of the competition is the team with highest number of points.
2.2.1 Additional scoring
For all vehicles that have more than two axles is a special bonus:
3 axle (6x6 drivetrain) trucks - 1,2
4 axle (8x8 drivetrain) trucks - 1,4
The bonus is calculated: (weight/power)*multiaxleMultiplier.
2.3 Stage rules
Before deployment to the stage the truck should be set right before the start line. The driver may use the whole stage area. Every stage is assumed as accomplished if the front axle crossed the finish line marked with two banners.
Team may use the winch if it's vehicle is stuck. It may be used until the vehicle is fully manouverable. If the stage is difficult enough the decision may be made to allow use of winch for all the competitors.
2.4 Time penalties.
- 2.4.1 - 40 seconds - technical support during the stage pass
- 2.4.2 - 20 seconds - banner hit while driving through the banners
- 2.4.3 - 50 seconds - banner run over - (it must not allow to bypass the obstacle, meaning that at least one side of the vehicle is on the obstacle; if you continue without satisfying this condition you will be disqualified (stage pass only)
- 2.4.4 - 60 seconds - "hand of god", minor relocation of the vehicle
- 2.4.5 - winch - time when winch is used is counted separately. Overall time when the winch is active is doubled and is added to stage pass time
- 2.4.6 - 20 seconds - truck flip over. Damage, banners' hits are taken under consideration. Truck must be deployed before the obstacle that caused the accident.
- 126.96.36.199 - If the truck flips and rolls through the finish banners it's then moved back to the starting line and starts the pass again.
Time is halted when: servicing, vehicle deploying, rope attaching, etc.
3. Vehicles

The latest desperate attempt by global warming alarmists to seize the political initiative fell apart once again – due to exposure to the outside world.
Michael Mann, he of the Nature Trick, is trying to claim that the temperature models really haven't been exposed as bunk after all. There are only two problems: he uses the wrong set of data, and he stops in 2005.
Steve MacIntyre has the details (Climate Audit or WUWT).
For those who are keeping track (admittedly not easy given the numbers), we have now reached forty-one examples of data manipulation,errors, and other shenanigans from global warming alarmists, and that's just from what I've been able to blog on this subject sinceClimategate broke in November of 2009 just under three and a half years ago.
I am stunned that Mann really didn't think he would get caught.

A Global Provider of Oilfield Services Focusing on International Operations
Posted by: Vanina Egea (IP Logged)
Date: December 18, 2013 04:00PM
Texas-based Schlumberger Limited (SLB) and its subsidiaries are engaged as a supplier of technology, project management and information services to customers in the international oil and gas exploration and production industry. The company provides a range of products and services from exploration through production. The firm manages its business through Reservoir Characterization; Drilling and Production.
Overseas Exposure
The company generates about two-thirds of its revenues outside the U.S. In quarter three revenues set a new high: in international markets revenues of $7.91 billion (up 3%) and in North America an increase of 7%. We expect this strong quarter result to continue throughout 2013. Moreover, the firm expects its international spending on exploration and production to increase 10% in 2013. Margin improvement is another important factor to Schlumberger as well as growth in regions like Middle East/Asia, Europe and Africa regions. Venezuela and Argentine´s operations are key drivers of Latin America revenues.
In terms of valuation, the stock sells at a trailing P/E of 17.7x, trading at a premium compared to an average of 16.8x of the industry. Analysts' expectations imply a forward P/E of 14.67. To use another metric, its price-to-book ratio of 3 indicates a premium versus the industry average of 1.56, and the price-to-sales ratio of 2.5 is above the industry average of 1.26.
Earnings per share (EPS) increased by 26.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. Also, it has demonstrated a positive trend over the past eight years. We include the stock price because EPS often lead the stock price movement.
Finally, I always like to see of one of the most important financial ratios applying to stockholders, the best measure of performance for a firm's management: return on equity. The ratio has slightly increased when compared to the same quarter one year ago. I have to emphasize this because it is a signal of strength within the company. Schlumberger ROE of 17.84% is above the industry mean of 15.75% and higher than almost all peer group companies, with the exception of Core Laboratories N.V. (CLB).
Final Comment
Due to high competition, companies see international expansion as a channel for growth. With an impressive ROE its strength also lies in effective implementation, strong contracts and new technologies.
For a long-term perspective, I would advise fundamental investors to consider adding Schlumberger to their portfolios as it seems to be an attractive option. Hedge fund managers have also been active in the company. Hedge fund gurus like Stanley Druckenmiller, Louis Moore Bacon, Ruane Cunniff, George Soros and John Keeley have invested in it.

320mW Nd3+-doped single-mode fibre superfluorescent source
Minelly, J.D. and Morkel, P.R. (1993) 320mW Nd3+-doped single-mode fibre superfluorescent source At CLEO '93: Conference on Lasers & Electro-Optics, United States. 02 - 07 May 1993.
Full text not available from this repository.
Superfluorescent, SF single-mode Nd3+ doped fiber sources are of interest for us in a number of applications where a high brightness source of low temporal coherence is required. These include sensors such a fiber gyroscopes and medical diagnostic Such sources are similar to fiber lasers, but suppression of round-trip feedback prevent. the formation of discrete longitudinal cavity modes. The amplified spontaneous emission thus maintains a continuous spectrum. By pumping special doubleclad fibers with multistripe diode arrays, powers of up to 80 mW have been achieved. However, the output power is limited by a tendency to lase around line center when the product of the fiber gain and the effective reflection induced by Rayleigh backscattering exceeds unity. In this paper we report a scheme whereby the limitation is overcome by injecting light from a relatively low-power fiber SF seed source into a high-gain fiber amplifier. Using this technique we have demonstrated output power approximately four times that previously reported.

Today we decided to take it easy and the kids decided that today would be the day that we became WALMART people! Nope I didn't let them dress up so they would be on uTube. LOL
We checked out the store nearest to Silver Lake and it was easily the size of Bunnings back home. One side was shopping and the other side was groceries. We brought somethings and stuff for pressies back home.
The groceries were great Liam is set for the week, carrots, celery and capsicum..... Monique is into the bagels with cream cheese and we bought Vegemite with us. You don't get much of an option at the amusement parks heaps of hotdogs, nuggets and cheeseburgers. The size of the meals so far haven't been that bad and we have mostly been drinking water anyway.
Went for a swim in the pool and we are having storms each afternoon/evening. Makes it a bit cooler. Scott and I went to the Cabana - great long island iced teas for me and Hurricanes or Bahama Mamas for Scott.

Asks Reds To Keep Prisoner Trade Plan Open By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN PANMUNJOM The United Nations today sought an indefinite extension of the exchange of sick and wounded prisoners of the Korean War as 40 more Americans returned to freedom. The 40 brought the total Americans liberated in the past five days to 119 one short of the 120 promised originally by the Reds. However, in keeping with a promise made Thursday, the Com- munists said 17 more Americans would be included in the 100 Allied troops returned Saturday. The Reds said four more British, four Turks and 75 Koreans also TODAY Trouble Makers Hurt Ike would be exchanged then. The Reds have returned 500 Al- lied prisoners, as scheduled. They have received Communist dis- abled, including 700 Chinese at a rate of 500 a day except for today, when one North Korean refused to return. The U. N. will return 500 more Reds Saturday.

WASHINGTON L. Lew- is asked Congress today to strike from the law books "lock, stock and barrel'1 all labor laws passed in the last 21 years. The burly mine workers chief, in a prepared statement, told the Senate Labor Committee: "This proposal is seriously made. The ever rising tide of industrial strife in recent years and the re- peated governmental interferences under existing law and the bit- terness engendered thereby in all segments of our population -justify the Congress in stripping the sta- tute books of both the Wagner and Taft-Hartley Acts." Two Basic Laws That would leave two basic laws dealing with organized 1932 Norris-LaGuardia Act and the 1914 Clayton Act. The Taft-Hartley Law, passed in 1947 to supersede the 1935 Wagner Act is now up for possible revision before the Senate and House Labor Committees. Most of organized la- bor favored the Wagner Act and wanted it kept on the books. No matter how amended, Lewis said, the Taft-Hartley Act will re- main "a thorn and a spear in the side of American labor." He ad- ded: "A liberal application of cologne or a generous sprinkling of 'Chanel No. 5' cannot and will not deodorize an otherwise odorous creature...." The law, Lewis said, "is a specie of fraud on not only labor unions but upon the country at large." The Norris-LaGuardia Act lim- ited the use of orders which forbid certain types of work disputes. The Clayton Anti-Trust Act attempted to exempt labor unions from pros- ecution by declaring that labor is "not a commodity." Lewis' Union Lewis' union has been the target three times of the Taft-Hartley Act's 80-day, no-strike provision for use in a national emergency dispute. "It can be categorically he said, "that in each year when strikes have occurred the coal production was greater than in the years in which there were no strikes." He said this "negates completely the hue and cry of national emer- gencies" and added that the nation "has never suffered irreparable injury from deprivation of coal." Lewis said the present law's ''fundamental evils" cannot be cured by amendment. Two Top Legislators and the state social welfare director are shown checking a batch of bills at St. Paul on welfare passed by the 5Sth Legislature. The three were active in drafting and guiding the bills to passage. Left to right, F, W. Nichols, director of the state social wel- fare division; Rep.

(AP photo) Moorhead Man Broad Program of State Social Welfare Now Law By JACK B. MACKAY ST. PAUL A broad program of state social welfare, based primarily on recommendations by Gov. Anderson, was enacted into law by the 58th Minnesota Legislature, a survey disclosed today. Forty-one bills affecting the program were passed. Commenting on the new welfare bills, F. W. Nichols, director of social welfare, said: "Adequate appropriations were made to carry out the intent of all welfare laws, with the Legislature following Gov. Anderson's recom- mendations."

C. 0. (Chuck) Kinslow, 29, had told police Thursday a woman he identified as his wife was to have driven from Moorhead Wednesday night to join him at a Minneapolis hotel. She failed to appear and Kinslow called police. Eugene Bernath, detective cap- tain, said after questioning Kins- low that the woman was not his "he was in love wife, but someone with." Bernath said Kinslow told him he had given the woman "because she was sick and needed blood but that later she vanished. Bernath said Kinslow was being held temporarily in connection with the false report, but that he doubted Kinslow would be formally charged. Kidnap Ransom Money Believed Found GANN VALLEY, S. D. last of the ransom paid for release of Charles Boetch- er II, Denver Colo., back in 1933 was believed today to, have been found by an Indian woman in an Indian cemetery near the Sankey ranch at Gann Valley. Vern Sankey, who at one time was listed as public enemy No. 1 by the FBI, hung himself in Sioux Falls after being returned from Chicago to face trial for the kid- naping. All but of the money was recovered earlier. Finding of the money could not be confirmed immediately. R. B. McKee, superintendent of the Crow Creek reservation, said he believes the finder of the money has at- tempted to keep it hidden because of uncertainty "over her right to the money and her safety." The money was reported found by Vera Call Him, Ft. Thompson, when she visited the grave of her father in an uncared for Indian cemetery about a mile from the old Sankey ranch. A corner of the grave had caved in and she in- vestigated, finding a can contain- ing it was said. Welfare Committees. Nichols listed the "Big Six" among the 41 bills in the new leg- islation. Present Divisions 1. Department of Public Welfare. It consolidates the present divisions of social welfare and .public institu- tions into one Department of Public Welfare, headed by a commissioner of welfare. "This consolidates welfare opera- tions on the .state Nichols said, "which in the main were al- ready consolidated on the local level in the hands of the county welfare boards. With this single line of administrative authority, duplication of effort and field representation will be eliminated, and increased efficiency attained at a lower cost of state administra- tion." 2. Aid to the permanently and totally disabled. It .sets up a "fourth category" of public assist- ance for the state's physically handicapped. "It will permit the state to participate in federal funds for the disabled and wiE lessen the relief burden on individual Nichols .said. 3. Old Age Assistance.

Minnesota Children's Center. Funds for a receiving home for state wards was authorized. The state agency had previously rented a facility. The new center will be built on the grounds of Gillette State Hospital for Crippled Chil- dren in St. Paul. 5. Relief appeal to state agency. This bill provides for the right to appeal relief decisions to the state agency, then to the District Court and finally the State Supreme Court. This measure will permit the state agency to act as referee of disputes involving residence, in place of present proceedings. The act also retains the principle .of home rule for counties operating on a township basis. 6 Licensing agenc- ies. Codifies child-caring agency laws, including day-care centers. "For some time we have needed a complete codification and clari- fication of our laws governing the operation of child-caring Nichols said. "This bill fills that need, and at their own insistence also includes day-care centers." About a dozen other welfare bills were passed. Navy Veteran Drowns MADISON (JV- Roger M.

LOUIS bandit shot and killed himself, two others were wounded and a policeman was shot in the head here today in an at- tempted bank hold-up. One bandit, trapped in the bank with capture imminent, shot and killed himself as police poured tear gas into the bank. About 20 per- sons, including employes, took re- fuge in the basement. Another bandit, driving the get- away car, escaped uninjured. Two of the other robbers were wound- one in the back and another in the foot. The condition of one was reported serious. The robbers were surprised by two policemen, who were, cruising within a couple of blocks of the Southwest Bank in West St. Louis. The two policemen were at the bank minutes after an alarm had been sounded by an employe. One of the policemen, Cpl. Rob- ert Heitz, 41, went to the back en- trance of the bank. The other po- liceman, Patrolman M. F. Stein, went to the front entrance. Stein reported hearing one shot, the one that struck Heitz in the head. Stein looked through the win- dow and saw a bandit, armed with a machine gun, approaching the front door. The bandit was using a woman customer as a. human shield. As the bandit made a break for the door, Stein fired. The bullet struck the bandit above the belt on the right side. A second robber, carrying a sat- chel, was trapped in the back cor- ridor of the bank as police rein- forcements rushed to the bank. They were armed with tear gas. Heitz was rushed to a hospital as were the two wounded bandits. The condition of Heitz was not im- mediately determined but he was still conscious upon arrival at the hospital. William J.

Wellner, Olmsted County coroners-will preside at the District, Supreme Court Judges Denied Increase Legislature Set Pattern for Wages, Anderson Declares ST. PAUL W) Gov. Anderson today vetoed bills to increase the salaries of district judges and lu- preme court justices. He said "I believe the Legisla- ture set tKe pattern for state sal- aries when, in effect, it said it could not find justification or rev- enue for giving the lowest salaried state employes an increase of a year. .1 "It then becomes illogical that there is justification for increases of a year for some of the highest salaried officials. "Further than this, the Legisla- ture quite definitely readjusted all state officials' salaries in 1951 to bring them into proper relationship. The 1953 proposal would disrupt that relationship. Others Pocketed 'Under the circumstances I can- not conscientiously affix my name to the bills, which would plish that end with an appropria- tion of taxpayers' expense. The governor pocket vetoed three bills that increased salaries- one for district judges, one for Supreme Court justices and appropriating money for the in- creases. The latter was passed in the last hour of the session. The governor announced pocket veto of two other bills Thursday. One was the Twin Cities transit bill to transfer jurisdiction over streetcar and bus and routes from the cities to the state and the other, the check stop order bill.

Anderson1! veto of the salaries for district judges and justices of the Supreme Court may be challenged as il- legal in the courts on grounds only the Legislature has the right to prescribe such salaries, The Asso- ciated Press learned today. Section 6 of Article 6, Minne- sota State Constitution, relating to the judiciary, reads: "The judges of the Supreme and District Courts shall be men learn- ed in the law, and shall receive such compensation at stated times as may be prescribed by the Leg- islature." It was reported that the matter will be presented sometime today to Atty. Gen. Burnquist with the view of determining whether legal steps should be taken to settle the question. The big question asked is: Are any of the judges in either the District Courts or the Supreme Court qualified to determine the matter since their own salaries are involved? The answer from top ranking lawyers is that they are disqualified but, on the other hand, they may sit in such cases on the theory that no one else is qualified.

Bradford, who was starting because veteran A.J. Feeley was out with a thumb injury, had struggled during his first two preseason games but displayed on Thursday the potential he showed during his impressive career at the University of Oklahoma and that convinced the Rams he could be the centerpiece of their rebuilding effort.
He completed 15 of 22 passes (68.2 percent) for 189 yards and two touchdowns (both to rookie tight end Michael Hoomanawanui) and finished with a passer rating of 125.0.
The Oklahoma native, who began his first series trailing 7-0 after the Patriots' Brandon Tate returned the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown, led the Rams on four scoring drives in the team's six possessions of the first half as St. Louis took a 20-14 lead into halftime.
The Rams had several impressive performances on Thursday, starting with the No. 1 overall draft pick. Hoomanawanui, the rookie from the University of Illinois, finished with four catches for 53 yards and two scores.
Danny Amendola caught five passes for 50 yards. Brandon Gibson caught four passes for 50 yards and a touchdown. Rookie quarterback Thad Lewis completed 11 of 14 passes for 120 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The final quarterback of the night, Keith Null, completed three of five passes for 25 yards and set up Brown's game-winning field goal.
The running game was improved. Steven Jackson played just one series, but carried five times for 22 yards. Kenneth Darby, previously third on the depth chart, relieved Jackson and gained 35 yards on 13 carries.
Rookie Keith Toston racked up 41 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries, while Chris Ogbonnaya, who had been the second-string running back, gained 25 yards on eight carries.
Brown was good on his three field goal attempts. He made two in the second quarter — from 25 yards out and from 45 yards away — and had the game-winner as time expired in the fourth quarter.
The news was not all good for the Rams on Thursday. The team's top wide receiver, Donnie Avery, was carted off the field with an apparent right knee injury late in the first half. Avery had 53 catches during his rookie season in 2008 and led Rams wide receivers with 47 receptions last season.

Her policy reimbursed $1,104.78 of the cost = $1,594.33 - $200 deductible - 20% copay = 1,594.33 - 200.00 - $278.87.

1 What is DocTest
DocTest is a small program, that checks examples in Haskell source code comments. It is modeled after doctest for Python.
2 Installation
DocTest is available from Hackage. Install it by typing (on your Unix shell):
$ cabal install doctest
3 Usage
Bellow is a small Haskell module. The module contains source code comments. Those comments are examples from an interactive Haskell session and demonstrate how the module is used.
module Fib where -- Examples: -- -- > fib 10 -- 55 -- > fib 5 -- 5 fib 0 = 0 fib 1 = 1 fib n = fib (n - 1) + fib (n - 2)
With DocTest you may checks if the implementation satisfies the given examples, by typing (on your Unix shell):
$ doctest Fib.hs
Lines starting with
All comment lines following an expression denote the result of that expression. Result is defined by what an REPL(e.g. ghci) prints to
evaluating that expression.
4 Hacking
DocTest development is in an early stage. My public git repository is at:
Patches are gladly welcome!

Memorial Day would never be the same for the family of Ashton Sweet. Sweet, a 14-year old cheerleader from Irvine, was killed in crash on over the Memorial Day weekend. She suffered an irreversible brain damage due to the crash and she was removed from her life support system.
According to a feature on Daily Pilot, the accident happened at the intersection of Culver Drive and Irvine Boulevard as truck driver Austin Jeffrey Farley continued to drive his vehicle despite a clear red light. He crashed right into the Mercedes-Benz where Ashton was among the 5 people inside.
Investigation made on the incident shows Farley had been drinking with his girlfriend before the crash. At the scene, authorities say Farley was hardly able to stand, his speech was slurred, and had a strong smell of alcohol in his breath. He registered a 0.20 blood-alcohol level at the time of the accident.
Farley asked the media to stop making him a monster on their news reports, as he claims he isn't one at all. According to the Daily Pilot, court documents has shown that 26-year-old Farley of being previously convicted of drunk driving before, and a number of other charges such as battery, resisting arrest, and grand theft. He has been charged with one felony count each for murder and driving under the influence.
He is held on a $1 million bail. If proven guilty, Farley could serve up a lifetime of imprisonment at the state prison.
Sweet's major organs were donated, except her heart, which suffered a bad bruise during the crash.

During my career, I've dealt with many crisis situations with churches and ministries. Pastors who experience moral failings, staff members embezzling money, leaders who turn out to be pedophiles, serial adulterers, incompetent and much more.
Every situation is different, and the goals include healing the hurt, restoring the leader according to biblical principles and keeping the church healthy. Seeking God is critical, but along with that process, there are some immediate practical choices that have to be made. If you're a church leader, elder, board member or know someone who is, this is a critical list you should share and keep handy just in case a crisis happens in your church:
1. Prepare for a crisis ahead of time. Research shows that organizations that have a crisis plan recover much more quickly (and with less cost) than those who don't. And don't think a crisis can't happen to you. In today's complex, Internet-driven world, the chances your church or ministry will have problems has only increased. Pray and hope for the best, but always have a plan if something goes wrong.

Doug asked 'So what is a biblioblog anyway?' He defines it this way:
I define a biblioblog as one that regularly discusses questions of biblical translation and interpretation from a viewpoint that is concerned to draw on and comfortable with employing historical and theological methods and questions such as are used in the academy. It doesn't have to be written by a believer. It can also be of some direct impact on practical church and spiritual questions. Its use of the bible is not simply devotional, or focused on how "God spoke to me" through this verse.
The Biblioblogs list defines a biblioblog as:
"Biblioblogs are blogs which deal primarily with matters concerning scholarly or academic biblical studies."
"Related Blogs… have a different primary focus (e.g. theology, ancient Near Eastern archaeology, devotional and homiletic approaches to the Bible) or are commercial rather than personal blogs – yet which contain some biblical studies material."
So, what it is? Or is it best to define it as what it is not? I congratulate those Top 100 Church blogs, but I must say, that while many of them are indeed fine blogs, they do not fit the category, as roughly defined as it is, of a biblioblog. While every post that I do may not easily fit the definition, I try to maintain a certain percentage to feel that I am being honest to it. As Dr. West has put it, sometimes – sometimes – biblioblogging does contain blogging about life lead in the shadow of the Bible.
In that spirit, I someone named Joel "Soon to be King of the Mountain" Watts nominated Peter Kirk – even with our past disagreements – for inclusion in the list and he was accepted.
Not withstanding David Ker's comment, the list is fun, and helpful and not completely filled with 'minimalists, deconstructionists and academics who focus on fringe and unorthodox topics.' Some of us are rather near maximalism, strict constructionists, and believer's endeavoring to focus on orthodoxy. But, David is right – I appreciate my Debs, my Fr. Roberts, my Wb Moore's, my Jordan Wilson's and my Bitsy Griffin's and all the others that I fail to mention which regularly contribute to this blog – readers, bloggers, cyber-friends who add to my life in immeasurable ways. And the occasional Dr. West's.

One Shot During Home Invasion
A man is recovering from a gun shot wound this morning at Memorial Hermann Hospital. Shortly after midnight a group of 5 masked men broke into a home that housed six roommates.
The suspects kicked in the door and demanded the men lie down on the floor. In a scuffle that ensued, one man was shot in the stomach and his dog was shot in the face. The other men at the residence were not cooperative with authorities, which led to search through the home and discovery of marijuana growing in the attic.
The wounded man and his dog are expected to survive.

The Week Ahead
Tuesday, Aug. 18 -- The Federal Reserve Board's Federal Open Market Committee will meet to set monetary policy for the next six weeks. No economist among those surveyed by Standard & Poor's MMS, a unit of The McGraw-Hill Companies, expects a change in short-term interest rates. The Fed's target for the federal funds rate has been 5.5% since March, 1997.
Tuesday, Aug. 18, 8:30 a.m. EDT -- Consumer prices likely increased 0.2% in July, says the S&P MMS median forecast, after rising 0.1% in June. The pattern is the same for prices excluding food and energy items: Core prices probably rose 0.2% in July, following a 0.1% gain in June.
Tuesday, Aug. 18, 8:30 a.m. EDT -- The foreign trade deficit for goods and services was probably little changed in June from May's record high of $15.7 billion. The S&P MMS economists expect that exports, which have fallen in five of the last seven months, rebounded slightly, while imports, up 0.5% in May, continued to expand.
Wednesday, Aug. 19, 8:30 a.m. EDT -- Housing starts probably fell back to an annual rate of 1.59 million in July, after surging 5.6% in June, to a 1.61 million pace. Even with the expected decline, starts would be some 9% higher than their level of a year ago. Homebuilding remains one of the strongest sectors of the economy, buoyed by healthy consumer finances, skimpy housing inventories, and low mortgage rates.
Friday, Aug. 21, 2 p.m. EDT -- The U.S. Treasury is likely to announce a budget deficit of $22 billion in July, forecasts the S&P MMS survey. That would be less than the $25.6 billion recorded in July, 1997. Washington's budget is expected to be firmly in the black when the fiscal year ends on Sept. 30.
