Help needed please, I am rebuilding my 283 chevy and it was going fine until installing the second head the second to last bolt won't tighten up it just keeps turning. Before fitting the head I cleaned all the bolts with a wire brush and ran a tap and die on all the bolts and the head thread before fitting. Is there any easy way to repair this. On the hot rodders forum it says to epoxy a stud into the hole and then use a nut on top which I had not heard of before, I understand using a thread insert can be a problem if the hole is not drilled and tapped straight and would this work in a cast iron block. Any ideas please?Thanks Steve
ask the engine rebuilder if they have any 3/8-16 self tapping solid thread inserts..you drill the hole to the exact size... please NOTE THE drill SIZE from the package the self tapping insert comes out of.. or from the catalog .. this is important..take a long bolt.. thread a nut on it.. thread the insert on til the bolt sticks all the way thru.. then run the jam nut down to lock the insert on the bolt..inserting some other LONG bolts into the good intake mounting holes so you can see the alignment.. this should also be done for drilling..you can now.. place the self tapping insert and long bolt against the hole.. use a combo wrench to turn the JAM nut to spin the self tapping thread insert into the hole.. these work so great if you can find them..you will really want to pull the heads.. as its messy.. i like these so much better than a heli coil in this application.. silver seal sells them to engine rebuilders..http://www.silver-seal.com/c=l7yeVh9cXH3Wk8I998HM4dnTq/product/40375/Self-Tapping-Thread-Repair-Inserts-20-Pk-38-16.html
Hi WayneThanks for replying.I was rebuilding the engine myself. Having done a bit more research it looks like I should have used new head bolts because I have no idea how many times they have been used before, so that was a bit of a rookie mistake. I am going to pull the head off anyway as all the other bolts torqued up correctly and try and see what is going on. I did read that GM designed the heads for the bolt threads to fail before the threads in the block but the bolt looks ok.I will definitely have a look at the silver seal link.Steve
the area where the intake manifold bolts go thru the head is not very thick.. there are probably only 5 or 6 threads in there...people have incorrectly tightened the intake manifold bolts before installing them all a few turns first and cross threaded them.. i worked in an engine rebuilding shop. and ran the cylinder head department in another..i ran into stripped threads in these about every 200 to 300 small block heads i built...i ran into broken off bolts a LOT more.. almost daily.. all depends on if the intake has ever been off before.. its NOT your fault.. and i am not blaming you for anything..heli coils will work... i just prefer the self tapping solid inserts... when available..
Thanks for your help Wayne. I will pull the cylinder head off over the weekend and have a look what is going on with the threads in the engine block.When using the inserts do you have to apply sealer to them before fitting them as they will be between the head bolts and the water jacket. I have a new Edelbrock inlet manifold and bolt set for when I get that far as I am replacing the stock Rochester carburettor so I hope the inlet manifold will not cause any problems.Steve
i WOULD NOT use sealer on the inserts.. as you want to be able to get all the shavings out.. you can use sealer of some kind on the end two bolts but i cannot recall.. for some reason if the first and last two manifold bolts go into the water jacket in the head..i think only the coolant passage is exposed.. and the bolts go thru into the crankcase..since you have not started the engine... and had fresh head gaskets..you might be able to REUSE the torqued once head gasket if you coat it with a thin layer of Hylomar .. on both sides of the head gasket and then let it hang to evaporate the solvents from the hylomar.. if new head gaskets are easily available... you might want to pick them up.. they are usually available individually.. hint.. i also use hylomar on both sides of the intake manifold gaskets.. darn stuff never dries.. but also never leaks.. i won't install cylinder head gaskets without hylomar. i don't have time to do it again for free a second time.. i understand hard to find parts.. my family had a few english cars..1. 70 rover 3500s 3.5 v8 auto4. 67 to 69 2000 TCs..1. 68 2000 SC..2 austin americas.1 71 series 2A 109 SAFARI 2.6 petrol.. assembled in guatamala..1 74 series 3 88 santana 2.25 petrol. assembled in guatamala.. my sister drove the various 2000's..some became parts. she reported a problem with one.. that her college books would slide from side to side on the what i call the package tray.. the flat areas inside the windshield and rear glass.. i had her take me for a ride.. she came up to the signal.. it was still green.. she did not slow down.. just spun the wheel and went around almost on 2 wheels... she must have been going 35 mph.. i had forgotten her previous boyfriend had taught her to drive.. and he learned on an atari grand prix coil arcade machine.. where he would wedge his arm into the inside of the steering wheel palm up and rotate at his shoulder.. i made the mistake of riding with him one day.. as he merged onto the freeway.. he put his arm into the steering wheel and spun the wheel so fast to make a single lane change that the front tires actually squealed.. i walked home on that day.. the austins were driven by my foster brother.. he removed all but the drivers seats .. its almost like Dr Who's tartus.. bigger on the inside than on the outside.. i think i still have 1 carb for the austin americas..i loved the hydroelastic springs.. the land rovers are being restored and will be probably put to work in British Columbia.. for a LR tour service..i saw my mom put the 3500S up on two wheels.. i was awaiting a new master cylinder for it from england.. she jumped in it to move it as it was parked on the street.. she dumped it in gear and mashed the gas pedal.. i had yelled that that car has NO BRAKES.. that i would move it.. she waved and off she went.. down hill.. she realized that she really did have NO brakes.. and spun the wheel left and hooked it hard into the first driveway on the left. but she like my sister was probably going 30... it went up on two wheels then smashed down into the driveway.. she thru it into reverse.. once i got the master back on it.. i had to rebuild the BW35 transmission again.. that was NOT fun.. taking the transmission out the bottom of the car.. by unbolting it from the bell housing. leaving the converter and bell housing on the engine.. and yes.. i was able to stick it in and align the converter all in the same move.. i don't know how i managed to perform that act.. i really hated the under the car transmission filler tube.. i could never find a decent manufacturer who would make sub axles for the deion tube IRS.. twisted the splines off a small pile of them. oh well.. thats enough for the night..
Thanks for the tip about the hylomar on the head gasket, they are new ones so I will re-use it.My father in law used to have Rovers all the time and he swore by them but there were a lot of people in England who kept away from them as they got a reputation for poor workmanship in the 70's but them again so did most of the main manufacturers. I used to have an ex military land rover to do a bit of off roading it was what they called the air-portable as they could be dropped from a C130 on a pallet with a parachute attached. Not at all comfortable or economical so I got rid of it. I suppose the same could be said for a stock 56 chevy truck which is what I an restoring at the moment but this one is for keeps.
i have a feeling that its partially some mechanics fault as to the rovers having poor workman ship issues..where mechanics either did not understand rover tech.. or tampered /broke something to be able to charge to fix it..one of the 2000TC models was cared for and a really nice car.. it was sent in to a rover mechanic here in the los angeles area.. yep.. there were a few.. this was just for an oil change and a tune up.. the mechanic said the timing chain had failed.. the car owner showed up with a tow truck and took it home.. where my sister bought it for cheep.. hmm.. what was strange is you could look thru the oil filler cap opening an see the timing chain turning the cam.. but the distributor was not turning.. hmm.. after a few minutes.. several flat washers were found under the distributor hold down clamp that held the keyed drive flange up above the drive gear.. so the distributor was just free to spin.. several of the other rovers were also tampered with or just outright lies told to the owner about their cars.. this was criminal.. but i have worked on other cars like jags.. an 88 Xj6 that the bulb failure dash display would not go off.. i actually took the relay boxes at the 4 corners of the car apart and resoldered the relay and interconnect pins. fixed that car in 2 hours... another shop after the one i worked at closed had that same car.. they ask me where to find a good used ECM as they kept burning out as soon as they plugged them in.. i just walked away...an 76 XJ12.. the fuel injectors would not fire properly.. only six would fire.. so the shop had replaced all 12 injectors and had the same issue.. they had also ripped apart the dual fuel pumps in the boot floor to see if they were causing the non working injectors problems.. that took hours to piece back together.. turned out that a fix had failed from many years before.. where the ECM is behind the rear seat in the trunk/boot.. the harness comes up to plug into it and makes a TIGHT 90 degree bend.. one of the wires on the outside of that bend had been stretched to the breaking point previously.. so somebody extended that one wire and just soldered another piece over it to splice it.. but they did not bend the harness to see how tight the wire pulled.. after years of service.. the splice came off on one end.. and since the V12 had a pair of relays up front to trigger either injectors bank A or injectors bank B only one side was being triggered.. what a night mare.. if they had ask me first.. there would have been much quicker fixes.. with more diagnostic time.. but this shoot first is way too common in repair shops.. i have been fired by several name brand repair shops as i would not play the game.. i would write a real estimate .. and get the jobs.. but when my estimates went to other techs.. or got called in by the service managers.. there was a LOT of ups and extras on the bill that i did not put down.. i have gotten flamed a long time ago by several mechanics for doing this.. and relating how to fix cars .. saying that i am taking money out of their mouths.. they just don't seem to understand.. that if you are honest with your car repairs.. that there will be cars lined up around the block trying to get into your shop.. 95 percent of people don't really care how much it actually costs.. as long as it is really whats broken.. and you have fixed the problem.. a friend called me with a tire shake issue.. his tires were worn. so he bought new ones.. the mechanic wrote a 400 buck estimate to fix the front suspension. i looked at it.. 30 bucks in bushings and an hour labor.. since when are tie rod ends 200 bucks each.. the last guy who dove in to change the inner tie rod bushings which is what i replaced.. broke 200 bucks worth of parts.. took out a plastic heater hose and broke off the fuel line... and still sent the car out of the shop.. don't worry about the fuel smell.. it will go away... i am sure they were hoping for flames and smoke to appear before it ran out of coolant from the leaking heater hose.. and he buggered up the installation by crushing the bushings during installation so i had to change them again.. i am sure the gasoline spraying on them for a day did not help..
Hi Wayne it just goes to show that if you do a good job at a reasonable price people will always come back and this is true for any profession.Rovers were fine as long as they were looked after. Some people bought them because they could not afford a Jaguar but wanted something better than a ford or Vauxhall. It was a bit of a status thing. I have just spent the weekend at a car show and there are plenty of hot rods here fitted with a Rover V8.

I posted a followup last night, after Xeni emailed me with a tip that the Cornucopia study had been funded by an agriculture think-tank/lobbying group called the Weston A Price Foundation. Based on that tip, I believed that I'd been had -- just another example of a corporate subsidized "science" that concludes that the company's products are just dandy (or that its competitors' wares are bad for you).
But I was wrong. I've just spoken to Kiera Butler from Mother Jones, who has followed up with Cornucopia. Cornucopia promises that the Price foundation did not fund its research (and further, that none of its research is ever substantially funded by any concern or individual), and the principal researcher repeated her concern that there is no evidence that the hexane boils off before consumption, and that in any event, "health food" companies have no business emitting terrible toxic waste into the atmosphere (here's her update).
And I agree. And we were wrong. Xeni and I offer our sincerest apologies to both Cornucopia and the Price Foundation for publishing inaccurate information.
Looks like I got spoofed: the study in this morning's post about neurotoxins in soyburgers turns out to have been funded by an anti-vegetarian, pro-meat lobbying group, the Weston A Price Foundation. These are also the folks who say lard is good for you. Maybe the science is good, maybe it isn't (read the comments for good debate on it), but I sure feel a lot more suspicious about it than I did this morning. (Thanks, Xeni!)

Ford dealer Bob Tasca III was wary of Malcolm Bricklin when he first showed up proposing a scheme to bring Chinese cars into the U.S. A third-generation car dealer in Rhode Island, Tasca and his family had never sold anything that didn't come from Ford Motor Co. (F ). Now, Bricklin was asking Tasca to sell the Chery, a Chinese car largely unknown in America. "We were skeptical of Malcolm," says Tasca, 29. "We had heard things."
That doesn't surprise Bricklin one bit. After all, this is a man who, in the course of a four-decade career, has founded one car company, Subaru of America, that went on to become a great success; watched another, Yugo America, fail; and botched the launch of an exotic DeLorean-like sports car called -- what else? -- the Bricklin. Indeed, the 65-year-old entrepreneur acknowledges he's pretty good at starting companies but has had problems managing them. "Bricklin is a great idea guy, but his history shows that it takes someone else to execute after the start-up," says automotive analyst Joseph S. Phillippi of AutoTrends Consulting.
Clearly, this is no Harvard Business School grad. In fact, Bricklin finished only two years at the University of Florida. But at age 28, he and college buddy Harvey Lamm, impressed by the inroads being made by Japanese auto makers, started a business importing Subarus from Fuji Heavy Industries. Quality was a major issue from the get-go -- as it was for Toyota and Honda -- and a damning 1972 report in Consumer Reports tanked sales. Bricklin left Subaru's management but retained an 8% share, which he later sold. But Fuji later bought the company, and Subaru went on to become a success.
Over the next few years, Bricklin started a range of small companies, including the early 1970s launch of his eponymous sports car; the company collapsed spectacularly in 1975, bedeviled by quality problems and money woes. But he's best known for founding Yugo America in 1985. Yugo's now-jokey legacy -- How do you double the value of a Yugo? Fill the gas tank -- dogs Bricklin still. He unloaded the company for $18 million in 1988, under pressure from investors, he says. The company soon collapsed amid the political upheaval in Yugoslavia. But before he left, Bricklin managed to create a phenomenon around a 25-year-old Fiat hatchback built at a 50-year-old factory in a Communist state -- ultimately selling 160,000-plus cars in seven years. "I have a bit of P.T. Barnum in me to have pulled that off," says Bricklin.
Bricklin's credibility took a beating in 2002, when he announced he was starting a company called ZMW (Zastava Motor Works), which would supply him cars built in Serbia -- formerly part of Yugoslavia. The auto press snickered at the notion, and it wasn't long before Bricklin headed off to China, where his first sight of Chery cars drove the Serbian idea clear out of his head. "I knew when I went to Chery I had been on the wrong continent," he says.
So will his current project suffer the same sort of problems that have plagued him in the past? Not if Bricklin can help it. This time, he says, he has blue-chip talent to help him run the show, including investment bank Allen & Co., PepsiCo (PEP ) co-founder Donald M. Kendall, and Swiss shipping magnate Per Arneberg. "The last time I had a real investment bank and such people behind me was never," says Bricklin. Adds Arneberg: "Malcolm has a lot of help to make sure it gets executed properly." Dealer Tasca, who figures to spend $10 million before selling his first Chery, still has questions. No doubt Bricklin will have answers.

Black Princesses suffer heavy defeat to Korea DPR at U20 Women's World Cup
The Black Princesses failed to seal an early FIFA U20 Women's World Cup quarterfinal berth after losing 3-0 to former champions Korea DPR in Toronto on Friday.Â
Bashir Hayford's ladies must now avoid defeat in their final Group A match against Finland on Tuesday to progress.
North Korea's No10 Ri Un-Sim, named player of the match, scored twice to cap a fine performance.
Opening-day victories had left both teams knowing that another win would all but secure their place in the knockout phase and, from the offset, Korea DPR always looked more likely to secure it. Indeed, it took them just six minutes to take the lead, and the goal was all down the improvisation of Ri.
Right-back Song Kyong-Hui had done well with a positive overlapping run and cross, but the ball arrived at an awkward height for the team's talisman.
Undeterred, Ri simply adjusted her body, stooping low on the six-yard line to direct a a delicate header in off the far post.
An unusual early substitution followed, with the referee picking up a knee injury and making way for her fourth official, but the pattern of the game remained unaltered.
Ghana could have found themselves further behind, in fact, had it not been for keeper Victoria Agyei saving well with her legs on two occasions, first from Ri Hyang-Sim and then from Song.
Ri remained the North Koreans' most likely source of a goal though, and with 66 minutes played she came within millimetres of doubling hers and her team's tally.
Rising to meet another cross from the right, she again sent a header towards goal only to see the ball rebound off he underside of the crossbar and be scrambled to safety.
The Korea DPR star would not be denied, though, and with 12 minutes remaining she got her second goal, glancing into the empty net after nipping in ahead of Agyei to meet an outswinging free-kick from Jon So-Yon.
And there was still time for the North Koreans to add a little sparkle to the scoreline.
The opportunity to do so arrived in stoppage time when Agyei missed the ball with a wild attempted clearance and caught Ri Kyong-Hang on the neck.
A penalty was the inevitable consequence, and though Agyei guessed right, Jo Son-Yon's spot kick was accurate and powerful enough to leave her with no chance of keeping it out.

Boro says:August 09, 2014 12:07 amThe same team won bronze in the U17 level with Dramani. Coach Bash is one of the most useless coaches Ghana has ever produced but just have loud mouth.
evans says:August 09, 2014 03:34 amThis team is very, very poor...they could barely string two passes together. I wondered if the pitch was too fast in comparison to the potato patch they are used to playing on in Ghana, the ball kept hitting their heels and I wondered what was going on...
ohemeng says:August 09, 2014 02:31 amwhat a sad event, what is hapoining to ghana
Mumbi says:August 09, 2014 04:29 amCongrats Korea 4 the job well done. Finland must now send them back to Ghana. Ghana needs to chartter a Liberian airline and lands in Monrovia so that the Black Princess (BP) relaxes there 4 atleast a month. After that the BP's can now proceed to Accra so that Selfmade, Samedge, Banger, & co all get infected with Ebola.

Dasaintshy says:August 10, 2014 01:15 am@soccerbrain, come to Atlanta Ga, they are here plenty. Zambia girls, wo mo aye she tan!
debrain says:August 12, 2014 07:40 amI am surprised you guys are still in the pull-down syndrome. What is wrong if Ghana is richer or Zambia is richer? It's high time we begin to support each other. I am waiting for the day where Zambia will be in the world cup and all African countries will be cheering them. And Ghana will be in the world cup and receive the same support. So does it apply to all African countries. But we seem to be unhappy when one nation makes it and we don't. We are always against other African countries making progress in sports so far as it is not our country. This must cease. Why are we so jealous of the progress of each other especially in the world stage. Please lets grow out of this attitude! We use this same attitude not only on the continent but also in our independent countries. Some are jealous of the progress of friends, brothers, sisters and even people they don't know. So far as somebody is making progress and it is not them they get angry and jealous and start slandering. These things must be nullified in Jesus name. Ghana and Zambia what's the big difference that you have to insult yourselves anyway?

Dasaintshy says:August 09, 2014 05:34 pm10 FACT ABOUT ZAMBIANS 1. All male kids do not circumsize and that makes them "koti boto" in our Ghanaian language. 2. They eat some food popularly known as "shima" and they eat it with cassava leaves. In Ghana they will known as "aponkye" 3. They drink so much so that, a lot of Zambians here in the USA have had their driving liscense suspended, revoked and have done some jail terms. "We call them "sagy3 am" 4. Most of the men have bad body odour and I guess is because of the penis not been circumsized. 5 They like marrying young women for wives, for example, you will see a 56yr old man with a 22 yr old wife. You can guess what these young ladies do behind these old drunkards with other men especially guys from west Africa. 6. Zambian men eat with two hands like baboons and have no table manners when they have their food. They can disgrace you very quick as an African. 7 They eat salt and sugar like there is no tomorrow. Every food they eat must either be sprinkled with salt or sugar. It is because Zambia is a landlocked country with no shores or coastal harbors. Salt and sugar is their white gold. 8.Most Zambian women would prefer to date a guy or marry a man from west Africa because they call them "trophy" when they get one. It means the west African men are more smart, educated and very civilized and we treat them better than their own. 9. "Shimanga" is a name for a girl and " mulumbi and lingashi " are names for boys. These are just examples. Very shinny names. 10. South Africa is "Zambian's America" they struggle to go to South Africa just like the west struggle to go to America. However, the South Africans even hate them so bad and more often, Zambians will tell you they are from "South Africa" . They are shy to say they are Zambians. Next week will about about our brother next door...
Rev. Joe Cee says:August 09, 2014 05:35 pmMr.reporter what game are you reporting on or did you watch,apart from the first goal that was a fault of a defender the substitute referee made sure we lost the game.How about the equalizer CBC didn't even show the replay and even how the penalty occurred when they tried to show and they saw the mistake they quickly stopped, the so call penalty incident happened outside the 18 yard box more over our keeper had no contact with the Korean.The Canadian referee was just bad no wonder our little girls refused to shake hands with officiating team and the Koreans after the match as stipulated by FIFA to show fair play and peace in the world. The coach did not want to blame the referee but to move on. Our little girls were robbed. I was on the field

Work has stopped on a controversial coastal development on Waiheke Island after archaeological evidence of Maori occupation was found during earthworks at Wharetana, Putiki Bay.
At least four middens containing charcoal, shells and stone flakes were discovered on Saturday by a nearby resident, Carl Dalton, who claimed they had been knowingly excavated and covered with gravel.
Yesterday, Auckland Council chief executive Doug McKay said work had been suspended to allow an expert to investigate the archeological evidence.
The find has turned the spotlight on the council planning department, which once again has approved resource consent for a controversial project without giving the public a say.
Last month, Waiheke residents woke to bulldozers tearing into the coastal foreshore, described by Waiheke historian Paul Monin as one of the most important historical landscapes on the island.
The area was an important settler site from the 1830s to the 1850s, containing the oldest house on the island, a brick-lined well, remains of a wharf and a small cemetery, Mr Monin said.
Waitemata and Gulf councillor Mike Lee said the development effectively ignored coastal and foreshore protections and was another case of former Auckland City Council planners skewing the applicant's property rights ahead of the checks and balances of people and communities - both of which were part of the Resource Management Act.
Mr Lee said he found it disturbing that planner Martin Green - acting for the applicants Scott and Tatiana Holyoake - had apparently been working with council staff to "unbundle" a series of applications with minor effects instead of looking at the effect of the project as a whole.
The case was similar to the heritage cases of Turua St and Paget St, developments at Orakei Point and Beaumont St, which have attracted high levels of public criticism, he said.
"I think we need an inquiry into the planning department. The planners are meant to be the guardians, but it is now the case of who guards the guardians," Mr Lee said.
Mr McKay said he did not believe there was anything inherently wrong with the planning department. There would always be some controversial decisions around planners' judgments.
Waiheke Local Board chairwoman Faye Storer, who has 16 years experience with planning hearings, said the Wharetana development should have been publicly notified given its location in a protected coastal area. The issue, she said, had caused a lot of angst and anger among islanders, who turned out in their droves at Queen's Birthday weekend for a public meeting at Ostend Hall to discuss it.
Mr Green, who was involved in the Paget St controversy, said he could not comment on the Wharetana case without instructions from the Holyoakes.
They could not be reached for comment.

Personally speaking, I've never thought the 'percentage correctly
classified' summary statistic (which I think you're referring to) to
be particularly meaningful, since it can hardly fail when Y=1 in more
than 50% of the observations. No doubt I'll get lynched for saying
The count measures can be pretty much useless when one outcome is rare, e.g. only 10% get a zero, because it will then often be the case that every case gets predicted as a 1.
In general, I agree with your other comments though. Of course, the original question was, How do I explain this stuff to the masses? That is tough. If the masses insist on some sort of pseudo R^2, you need to explain that pseudo R^2 stats are generally much lower than OLS R^2 stats.

Can This Pill Prevent Breast Cancer?
Black women are far more likely to die from breast cancer than their white counterparts. Could a pill somehow change all that?

[ione_facebook_like_box url_segment=blackdoctor.org height="260″]
Anastrozole can reduce a woman's likelihood of developing breast cancer by almost half, according to a recent study published in the Lancet medical journal.
For the study, researchers looked at more than 3,800 post-menopausal women from 18 countries between ages 40 and 70. All women included in the trial were considered at high risk of breast cancer. (This means the women had either two or more family members who had a history of the disease, a mother or sister who had breast cancer by the age of 50 or a close relative who had cancer in both breasts.) In addition, scientists also considered women with certain high-risk benign breast tumors.

By Alex Osei-Boateng
ACCRA, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- Ghana will invest more in its sports infrastructure in the coming years to promote sports tourism and rake in the desired foreign exchange, Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah, minister-designate for Youth and Sports, said here Friday.
Sports tourism refers to international trips specifically taken to watch sporting events. Common examples include international events such as world soccer, rugby, cricket as well as (non-team) participant sports such as tennis, golf and horse racing.
Industry actors believe Ghana has the potential of reaping from tourism owing to the growing numbers of travelers who visit the country annually. However, infrastructural deficit has been a major setback hampering the development of the sector.
But Afriyie-Ankrah promised to develop the culture of sports to attract interested persons to the sector and put measures in place to position Ghana as a sports tourism destination.
"When there is adequate infrastructure and we (Ghana) zone in on sporting areas where it has competitive advantage, we will attract more tourists to the country," he said during his vetting in parliament.
Beach soccer and paragliding, the fastest growing sports in Ghana, have been tipped as areas with the potential of developing into vital sports tourism destination in the sub-region.
The potential for a firm sports tourism drive nationwide cannot be underrated, especially following the publication by a global rating agency in the tourism industry, Frommer's Travel.
Known for its credibility, Frommer's Travel named Ghana among the top 10 tourism destinations for 2012, setting the stage for multiple opportunities and challenges to capitalize on this new position.
Ghana has planned to train local paragliding tandem pilots to promote the recreational sport of tandem paragliding which has largely been patronized by international paragliders since its inception some few years earlier.
Afriyie-Ankrah assured Ghanaians that his main focus would be to liaise with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to re- strategize to ensure Ghana's qualification to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
He called on Ghanaians to continue to support the senior national soccer team, the Black Stars, as they prepare to vie for a third place in the ongoing AFCON tournament at the Nelson Mandela Bay in Port Elizabeth in South Africa.

An investigation has been launched by the Victorian Government into claims a 14-year-old girl was sold for sex by a 15-year-old while both were in state care, it has been reported.
The shocking revelations come a day after reports that a 12-year-old in state care had fallen pregnant.
Sources have told the Herald Sun the prostitution claims were well known to some staff at the out-of-home residential centre in Victoria, but they failed to act.
The suspicions were eventually reported to Victoria's Department of Human Services, which launched a probe last year.
A spokesman for DHS was unable to provide the Herald Sun with answers to several questions yesterday.
Premier Ted Baillieu said a review of the Department of Human Services will investigate controversial cases over the past week, including the latest incident.
"If there are systemic problems they have to be addressed," he told ABC radio this morning.
It is understood Victoria Police has not been notified by authorities of the serious allegations, but would not comment.
Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge also remained tight-lipped, instead issuing a statement through her spokesman, which said the Government could not comment on individual cases.
However, the statement assured Victorians it had acted appropriately.
"Whenever the Government or department receives allegations of harm in relation to a child in state care, they are investigated as a matter of priority," it stated.
The Herald Sun has learned Ms Wooldridge instigated an internal investigation after being alerted to both the prostitution claims and the 12-year-old's pregnancy in a letter sent by a member of the public early this month.
The letter provided detailed information on the 12-year-old girl's predicament, outlining the residential care facility she had been located at.
Premier Ted Baillieu yesterday said: "There has been a failure of the system . . . and the question now is was the response appropriate," he said.

Aug 3, 2012 - The Associated PressCHEYENNE -- Cases of whooping cough are up dramatically in Wyoming this year.
Through the end of July, state health officials have documented almost three times as many cases of whooping cough in Wyoming compared to all of the cases in the state last year.
Last year, Wyoming had 13 cases of whooping cough. So far this year, the number is up to 36.
The outbreak is nationwide. Across the U.S., more than twice as many cases have been reported so far this year, with the biggest increases occurring in the Mid-Atlantic, Upper Midwest and West Coast states.
Whooping cough is an upper respiratory infection that's especially dangerous to infants and young children. Cases of the disease tend to peak every two to five years.

Even a person normally immune to the charms of amphibians and reptiles will soon be drawn in by the fascinating color photographs of Life in Cold Blood, the latest book by broadcaster and naturalist David Attenborough (Princeton University Press, $29.95). Beautiful or bizarre creatures grace nearly every page, and if you begin flipping through the book you'll be brought up short repeatedly—perhaps by the goliath frog as large as the small boy holding him in equatorial Africa, or by the saltwater crocodile thrashing the kangaroo in its jaws in the water. And what's this? A snake sailing through the air against a background of empty blue sky! Compelled to start reading, you discover that it's a paradise tree snake, which can launch itself from a branch, flattening its body to trap air beneath it, and glide 30 yards forward, steering as it goes. Then you spot a Komodo dragon strolling on a beach, its long tongue extended to sniff for carrion. The next thing you know, you're shoving the book under your friends' noses, insisting that they have a look.
When you settle down to read the text from start to finish, you realize that Attenborough is using creatures who are alive today to help readers visualize developments in the evolutionary history of these two classes of vertebrates, and to show diversification of forms. What might the first creature to make the transition from water to land 375 million years ago have looked like, for instance? Some combination of the lungfish and the Japanese giant salamander, perhaps.
The book goes on to cover the adaptations that were needed to allow amphibians to live on drier land (impermeable skin and shelled eggs). Then tortoises and crocodiles are introduced, two groups of reptiles that have changed very little over the eons. Chapters follow on lizards, leglessness (snakes and their burrowing ancestors) and cold-bloodedness.
Attenborough calls attention to the fragility of amphibians—their permeable skin leaves them unusually vulnerable to pollutants, and frogs and toads all over the world are becoming extinct. Reptiles, though, may benefit from global warming, which should allow them to extend their range at a time when mammals will be having difficulty finding food. They'll get along without us very well. —Flora Taylor

Running a half marathon or a full marathon is a huge accomplishment, but without proper training, nutrition, and determination, you won't be able to reach your goals. Here's everything you need to know about training for a marathon!
How to Train for a Half or Full Marathon
There are three different methods for training for races:
- Run walk intervals. Instead of running at one pace, certain runners use walking/running intervals to train for a half marathon. This helps reduce the risk of injury and is a good option for beginning runners who want to complete a half marathon but are not concerned about qualifying for other races.
- Building up mileage. If you're running your first half marathon and don't want to do run/walk intervals, choose a 16 or 20 week plan that slowly builds up mileage. Depending on your fitness level, you may occasionally want to
- Long runs with short tempo runs. More advanced runners should use tempo and HIIT runs to help improve their times as well. Their plans should be around 10-16 weeks long, depending on the runner's fitness level and their goals.
You can mix and match techniques from all three approaches, perhaps doing run/walk intervals on Mondays, a tempo run during the week, and a long run on the weekend. How much you decide to train for your marathon depends on the type of training plan you pick and if you're facing any injuries.
Make sure you buy new shoes and break them in before the start of training. Worn out shoes can lead to shin splints, and you should replace your shoes every 300-350 miles.
Crosstraining for Marathoners
If you're training for a half or full marathon, don't forget to crosstrain! Crosstraining simply means doing another form of exercise that targets different muscle groups and helps reduce the risk of injury. Yoga, swimming, and other low-impact workouts are the best choices. Yoga in particular helps improve flexibility and strength, another key in preventing injury.
Runners should also make sure to keep strength training in their workout routine, focusing especially on hamstrings by doing deadlifts. Weak hamstrings can cause shin splints.
How to Choose a Marathon or Half Marathon
What kind of race do you want to run? There's a New Year's Race that goes through downtown LA at night, a Rock n' Roll marathon series with live bands along the route, and even races that go through Disneyland.
If you're running your first race, it's probably best to choose a race that's close to where you live so it'll be low stress to get to the Expo to pick up your race number and then find parking the day of the race. While traveling to different cities to do races can be an adventure, you may want a lower stress race to get you acclimated to the marathon world.
What to Remember on Race Day
On the day before race day, you should have gone to the Health and Fitness Expo that races hold for runners to get their numbers and to showcase health and fitness products. Set out everything you need the night before. Organization is key to cutting down on stress.
Here are some things you should think about on race day:
- Who's going to drive you? Sure, you can drive yourself, but remember you're going to be sore and exhausted, so it's best if you get a friend to meet you at the finish line!
- Wear tried-and-true gear. Never wear new sneakers or new workout clothes on race day. You don't know what chafes or what is uncomfortable until you've run with it in the past! So only use what's tried and true from your training on race day.
- Are you going to run with music? If so, create a playlist. You don't want to be fumbling with your ipad during the race. Also, invest in a good armband to hold your keys, cell phone, and ID. Good earbuds are also a must — you don't want them falling out as you run.
- Eat breakfast 2-3 hours before your race. This should be the same breakfast you eat before your long runs, and should be made up of protein and carbs. Some runners opt to drink coffee, others think it upsets their stomach or makes their aerobic performance suffer, so once again try out different combinations during training to figure out what you're going to eat on race day.

Regarding Street Rodder June '14 - - Page 74 Tim Helton's '56 Chevy Bel Air "Well Connected" article. SR probably typoed when it repeatedly described his short as a '56. This great looking ride is a '55 Chevy - - not a '56! Or else maybe since I got my SR in early April this was an April Fool's trick from Eric Geisert. Hmm - - is typoed actually a word - - or did I just typo too?Wm. F StoneDripping Springs, TX
When I first saw the article on Tim Helton's "56" Chevy, I thought they had made a typo in 5 places including the Table of Contents. However in looking closely everything on the car is so well done that I decided they just converted a '56 to be a 100% '55.Bill SheppBall Ground, GA

St. Louis Reporter Larry Conners revealed via Facebook yesterday that he has been "hammered" by the IRS since his much-discussed interview with President Obama. Conners, a veteran reporter, asked tough, but fair question during the interview which was slammed by progressives in media. Conners says:
Shortly after I did my April 2012 interview with President Obama, my wife, friends and some viewers suggested that I might need to watch out for the IRS.
I don't accept "conspiracy theories", but I do know that almost immediately after the interview, the IRS started hammering me.
At the time, I dismissed the "co-incidence", but now, I have concerns … after revelations about the IRS targeting various groups and their members.
Originally, the IRS apologized for red-flagging conservative groups and their members if they had "Tea Party" or "patriot" in their name.
Today, there are allegations that the IRS focused on various groups and/or individuals questioning or criticizing government spending, taxes, debt or how the government is run … any involved in limiting/expanding government, educating on the constitution and bill of rights, or social economic reform/movement.
UPDATE (1:36 p.m.): Conners emails POLITICO:
I'm sorry, but I just was told … Corporate does not want me to do any interviews. Sorry.
(h/t Byron Tau, Soren Dayton)
Why all of a sudden am I feeling the need to defend Obama?
John Stewart: frick
quote:Yeah, local reporters usually have to get crafty to hide their millions.
He's probably a tax cheat looking for a convenient excuse.

Polluted Willamette River Sullies Image Of A Green Oregon
by Kim Murphy
PORTLAND, Ore.
The Environmental Protection Agency's Northwest region this week said it would recommend federal cleanup along a 5.5-mile stretch near Portland Harbor because Oregon officials had failed to develop an adequate recovery plan for the nation's 10th-largest river. The announcement was a stunning blow to a state that prides itself on its ecological conscience.
The designation, if approved by officials in Washington, threatens Portland Harbor's competitiveness as a major shipping port. And it virtually guarantees years of litigation over who must pay the cleanup costs. But some environmental groups hailed the decision, saying it would push local officials to get on with the job of removing deadly contaminants from the riverbed.
With the recommended listing, the Willamette joins a growing number of rivers and harbors to be added to the EPA's 1,226 active Superfund sites. Many of the new additions were not originally designated because of the enormous complexity of cleaning them up.
In 1989, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers called the Willamette a restoration success story, "one of the cleanest streams of comparable size in the nation." Now, the river that meanders through downtown Portland is the most polluted waterway in the West in terms of toxic industrial pollutants, environmental groups said.
"People look at Oregon as the big green state. We've got growth
management, we've got environmental controls. We cleaned up the
Willamette. They're using us in many ways as a prototype. Well, the
prototype's not working," said Joe Coffman of the Willamette Riverkeeper
Amount of Toxins Greatly Increased
The Willamette flows 187 miles, from the Cascade Mountains above Eugene to Portland--some of the most pastoral countryside in the nation.
But in a report released this week, Willamette Riverkeeper showed the amount of toxic chemicals dumped in the river had doubled from 1995 to 1997, to 4.1 million pounds. That includes more than 10,000 pounds of known carcinogens. A yet-to-be-released report on health risks shows that Native Americans who daily eat fish from the river stand a 1 in 10 chance of getting cancer.
What has happened to the Willamette reflects the nature of invisible chemical pollution--some of it due to the clean, high-tech industries Portland invited in as antidotes to dirty polluters of the past.
Since the 1930s, Portlanders had railed about the growing filth of the Willamette, where pulp and steel mills sent globs of sludge floating downriver and raw sewage left fish unable to breathe. Film shot in the 1960s showed healthy fish dropped into the river flailed and died within minutes.
Journalist Tom McCall produced a television documentary on the river so compelling that it helped propel him to the governorship in 1966. Under his administration, Oregon built sewage treatment plants and imposed controls on industrial polluters that became models for the 1972 Clean Water Act.
A National Geographic cover story in 1972 celebrated the Willamette's journey "From Shame to Showcase: A River Restored."
The problem, Oregon officials say, is that decades of pollutants from
old shipbuilding yards, wood creosote factories, coal gasification plants
and oil terminals in the harbor area had settled down into sediment on
the river floor.
Effects of Pollution Found in Wildlife
In 1987, the EPA did its first major sampling of possible pollution effects and found high toxicity levels in crayfish. About the same time, there was a growing awareness that fish in the river were showing elevated levels of dioxin, one of the Earth's deadliest carcinogens, produced by pulp mills.
The effects were already showing up in the environment, said Nina Bell, a lawyer for Northwest Environmental Advocates, who for years has tried to force the city to halt sewage discharges into the river. Biologists documented growing reproductive problems in bald eagles, mink and river otter on the Willamette and the Columbia, which join a few miles downstream from Portland. There were skeleton deformities in fish.
Regulations were adopted in the late 1980s under which mills cut back their discharge of dioxin by as much as 95%. State and federal law also required Oregon's cleaner industries to treat their chemical discharges before pumping them into the river.
But the EPA does permit release of a certain level of industrial pollutants into the river. According to the Riverkeeper's report, semiconductor and related high-tech industries were the second-largest toxic polluters of the Willamette in 1997.
Widespread farming on the upper Willamette has continued to flood the river with pesticide and fertilizer residues. And Portland's antiquated sewer system results in the release of an estimated 3 billion gallons of untreated sewage into the river each year.
"Everybody thought the river had been recovered. And in certain respects it had," said Dean Marriott, Portland's director of environmental services. "What was left were some of the intractable problems: non-point-source pollution, pollution caused by population growth, things that are just harder to get your hands around."
Lending urgency to pollution control efforts was the federal government's announcement last year that every species of salmon and steelhead native to the Willamette was being listed as threatened.
It is that listing, in part, that has prompted Portland officials to seek a delay in their plan to build a new sewage system that by 2011 will nearly eliminate rain-induced overflows into the river. The city already has reduced overflow 50% since 1991, but officials say that delaying completion of the project an additional nine years would also allow them to address the wide variety of urban pollutants that are washing into the river from streets, lawns, parking lots and agricultural areas. Environmentalists are bitterly opposed to any delay.
Meanwhile, there is the issue of cleaning up sediment long ago deposited in the riverbed around Portland Harbor, the subject of the present Superfund action.
Gov. John Kitzhaber and the city of Portland tried to avoid the Superfund designation--and the potential bureaucratic nightmare of federal intervention--by organizing a state-led cleanup effort.
But with about 70 potential polluters involved, the effort foundered.
Companies were reluctant to waive the statute of limitations for paying
some share of cleanup costs when not every firm was willing to make such
a guarantee.
Port of Portland Fears Economic Harm
The Port of Portland now fears that shipping companies may pass by the harbor out of worry that a small spill could leave them potentially liable as partners in a massive cleanup bill.
Moreover, a Superfund designation would threaten the port's plan to dredge and deepen the river channel to remain viable for increasingly large commercial ships. The Corps of Engineers under current policy does not dredge at Superfund sites. Environmental groups have opposed the dredging of the Willamette and Columbia because of concerns it would stir up toxic sediments and threaten juvenile salmon.
"We're a niche port now. Our niche could get smaller, and that's at a time when we expect a tripling of cargo on the West Coast," said David Lohman, director of policy and planning for the port. "Whenever there's a Superfund designation, the fear factor of anybody thinking about using the river goes up."
But Don Francis of the Sierra Club's Portland chapter, a longtime activist on behalf of the Willamette, said Superfund cleanup could provide Oregon with the money--and the will--to get the job done.
"The Willamette is kind of the nation's Every River. Virtually every problem that's affecting rivers in the U.S. is present in the Willamette watershed," he said. "If Oregon is the environmental leader in the U.S., and the environmental leader in the world is the U.S., in a lot of ways, a lot of hope for what happens in the world is the Willamette. . . . In the end, there may be no other watershed that has more hope for it."

Meet the B-town stars who�d resort to just about ANYTHING to get what they desire most - attention!
Kangana Ranaut
A few months ago, we were speckled with quite a bitter battle of words between none other than our ever-so-glamorous Ranaut and sex-taped scandalous socialite, Paris Hilton. The former insists that the latter wanted her to be the image of her clothing line while the latter denies having ever  had any contact with her at all. Honestly, the string of evidence definitely points toward Ranaut's guilt and in a way it worked because she got all the publicity she wanted. Just not the right kind perhaps but who knows what that means in B-town these days!Not to forget all the obsessive roles and her run-ins with the likes of Chunky PAndey that have kept gossip columns abuzz forever.Â
-Picture courtesy Reuters-
Yana Gupta
This one really sent the media into a tizzy when she arrived out in public…wait for it… 100% commando! There's definitely a time and place for that but considering she was entering a public charity event for children we're willing to bet this wasn't one of those occasions. All said and done though the declining model got more Internet hits after the stunt than she ever had before. So the real question is — who cares if the first word after her name on google is 'commando'?
Malaika Arora Khan
It takes another kind of woman altogether to spread rumours about her own marriage's demise (despite having children we might add!). When the grapevine broke the news of Malaika and Arbaaz's alleged 'split-up' the public was shocked at its sudden nature but word soon got out that it was nothing more than a cheap publicity ploy for a cream the couple was to endorse soon. The ad never released post the negative press and Malaika lost some serious credibility so excuse us while we give this one a big, fat fail.
Rakhi Sawant
The queen of ridiculous publicity stunts, no one comes close to a certain Ms. Sawant as far as gimmicks for public attention are concerned. There are so many we hardly know where to begin so we're just going to go with the most obvious. She created a reality show (Rakhi Ka Swayamvar) to pick a suitable groom for herself and then called of the engagement to a distraught young man just weeks before the supposed 'wedding.' Did it work? Hell yes, the show's ratings went through the roof!
-Picture courtesy india-server.com-
Poonam Pandey
Ah, the cricket favourite. Completely unheard of before this stunt we're going to have to say this was the most successful by far! This model-turned-reality star rose to fame with her proposal to go nude if the Indian cricket team won the cricket World Cup. She hasn't really bared it all but she came pretty damn close on Twitter recently and all we can say is – we hope she keeps up her end of the bargain! This was definitely some unwanted attention that worked in her favour because she's practically a household name now.

german made are considered by sigophiles to be the best,
I"ve not had issues with the USA made ones but if you can
get German it's a plus.
I already asked this question but did not get a good response.I guess it was in the wrong section.I am looking at getting a sig p226 german made.It is on buds website.Can anyone tell me the difference.All I can find about it is that the pistol is serial numbered in 3 places.Does it have the sig 4 point safety system?It cost about 650 bucks in 9mm cal.Is it a good choice or should I stick with the us made.
german made are considered by sigophiles to be the best,
I"ve not had issues with the USA made ones but if you can
get German it's a plus.
The biggest difference is the slide. German Sig's are forged carbon steel. American made are milled stainless steel. I don't think one is superior to the other, but the German made slide is lighter which affects the balance of the gun. Some prefer the "feel" of the German gun. I have a German 9mm and an American .40. I find the extra weight of the stainless slide helps tame the muzzle flip of the .40, but the German 9mm is probably the nicest shooting handgun I've ever owned. Hope this helps.
2 varieties of the german sigs with triple s/n's, 1 with e2 grips & contrast sites, the other, regular grips & nite sites.
make sure you're getting the version you want.
i've bought from bud's & they're great to deal with.
Free time.......... the german sig shown on Bud's website is a true german. However it has the external Extractor and Nitron slide (stainless) not the the rolled carbon steel with the separate breech block with the internal extractor. I have both that I purchased in October of this year. As far as function.......Excellent. If you are collecting most collectors want the roll steel slide but that said they are both German and both excellent, the Nitron SS slide is heavier and easier to strip. It"s up to you. Ken
The rolled German slide with the internal extractor is so clean looking, especially in nickel. I've considered refinishing the nickel parts on my 2-tone, but it's just too damn sexy.

With these blocks you can protect your finish and optics while shortening the overall length of the gun for transport. Simply separate the upper and lower, slip the block in and close the pins again. You have now shortened the overall length of the gun by the length of the stock. You can slip it into a backpack and in some cases close it. Otherwise the muzzle may stick out. If you want it completely concealed just slip one of those small white shipping tubes over it. No banging around no scratched optics etc.
These are perfect for people who want to put an AR in their "GO BAGS"
The block features a tab to keep the carrier locked in, so if you are running a lo-pro upper without an ejection port door to lock the carrier you are still good to go. Lowes and Home Depot carry these pins inexpensively.
These are CNC machined out of a very long wearing slippery plastic. In fact it was so slippery I had to go back and intentionally leave machine marks on it for a good grip when you are wet or sweaty.
A razor and few minutes of work will custom fit it to your lower.
This block took exactly 1 minute 37 seconds to fit to the lower
The pack is the LA police gear 3 day pack, its not a very big or deep one.
The upper is 16" and has thick double heat shield hand guards on an A2 lower just to show the sizes it will accommodate.
I have completely rewritten the G code for the CNC and made many small improvements to this latest version
The lower lugs are very close to a drop in fit. Most likely you will need to shave about .017" or less off the width of them.
The bolt carrier tab may need very minor trimming depending on your upper.
Since most people wanted the ring pull pins, I will NOT include any pins in these, Lowes or Hardware stores have a selection to suit your tastes.
These are still $40 shipped USPS first class, ppal fees included for one.
For 2-3 they are still $40 Shipped, fees included but I will pay for the Priority shipping to get it to you ASAP

Did you come up with this idea? If so you should patent it. That is a great idea and could really take off at gun shows. I'd buy one if I had an AR.
Yup. Patent pending
These are great. I got one of the first run he did a while back. I love it. Thumbs up on these! I might get another set for my other AR. Ill be in touch after payday..

Nice look and fit
Reviewed By Richard B (Placentia, CA) Reviewed for a 1999 Cadillac STS —5/27/2009 8:35 PM
Like everything about the shade but one thing. Not sure if it is the materials or the adhesives used, but the car interior has a very unpleasant smell after sitting in the sun. The shade appears to be outgassing. I believe that it has diminished since purchased two weeks ago, but it is still noticable.

Indications for Use
510(k) Number: BK090077
Device Name: TRUGENE® HIV-1 Genotyping Kit and OpenGene® DNA Sequencing System
Indications for Use:
The TRUGENE HIV-1 Genotyping Kit and the OpenGene DNA Sequencing System are indicated for use in detecting HIV genomic mutations in the protease and part of the reverse transcriptase region of HIV that confer resistance to specific types of antiretroviral drugs, as an aid in monitoring and treating HIV infection. The TRUGENE HIV-1 Genotyping Kit and the OpenGene DNA Sequencing System may be used to genotype the protease region (PR) of the pol gene from codons 10 – 99, and the reverse transcriptase (RT) region of the pol gene from codons 41 – 142 and 148 - 247. These two regions code for the main targets of antiretroviral drug treatment. Development of viral resistance to these drugs is associated with mutations within these coding regions. The mutations are identified by sequencing an RT-PCR product corresponding to these regions, and comparing the sequence to a wild type virus reference standard. This qualitative assay is used in conjunction with clinical presentation, laboratory markers and antiretroviral history as an adjunct to the therapeutic management of patients with HIV-1 subtype B infection, and a minimum viral load of 1000 RNA copies per mL.
The TRUGENE HIV-1 Genotyping Kit and OpenGene DNA Sequencing System are not indicated for use as a screening test for HIV or as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV infection.
