Gutted Catalytic Converters or headers
So it has been a while since I have ventured over this way, I'm glad to see everyone is still active. Its unfortunate to see that some people are still dealing with the same problems as when I left. I applaud those people for their patients.
My question to everyone is whether or not anyone has gutted their catalytic converters i.e. went catless yet? If so what were the power gains and exhaust note changes. Has any produced a quality set of headers?
The reason I'm asking is I finally got a catalytic converter efficiency CEL (45k on the odometer) the other day which I cleared and has not came back. I wondered with the extra boost if I would even notice a partially clogged cat or even blow it out. The car loves this cooler fall weather especially with the large additional heat exchanger added. Now I just have to keep tires on the beast.
Re: Gutted Catalytic Converters or headers
I went with bullet high flow cats. In pa u need them. I have them on my c5 also. Works good fue extra hp.
Re: Gutted Catalytic Converters or headers
No gutted here, Some point down the road, I may look into a set of high flow units like Random Tech's that I have laying around for my GTO should I decide to put them in.
Part of the problem is, at least on the drivers side, it is part of the factory manifold. So doing so, I think would result in having to do some form of aftermarket header too.
One option if you physically don't want to replace the actual converter at this point in time, have someone with HP Tuners see if they can change the class type for the DTC you're getting, this way it won't command your MIL on, and won't flag for any emissions test.
Re: Gutted Catalytic Converters or headers
Thanks for the response guys.. I guess I was hoping to see if anyone has done before and after dyno's to solidify potential gains.
Wait4me (please chime in).... I know you now have a STS-V at your disposal and have played with removing the cats and going high flow cats on the high boost 2009-2011 CTS-V's. Can you weigh in the positives and negatives with going this route. I have a local shop that will remove stock exhaust manifold and weld in high flow cats or gut original cats for $300. Will I pick up any HP with this considering I am running 16psi boost with upgraded magnaflow exhaust????
Secondly, I know that you are contemplating doing some performance mods for the STS-V. Can you enlighten everyone on what type of things you are considering. I have called your office the last three months only to get the same response which is call back in a month. Thanks for continuing to improve the cadillac performance line of cars.

News Release
HCA Inc. Gives $1 Million Gift to Duke University's Fuqua School of Business
November 07, 2005
Durham, N.C.— HCA Inc., a leading provider of health care services, has given $1 million to The Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, Duke President Richard H. Brodhead announced Tuesday.
The unrestricted gift is available to provide support in areas determined by the dean and the administration of the university, and could include new facilities, student scholarships and programming, faculty development, equipment or other priorities of the school.
"The gift from HCA comes at a critical point in Fuqua's history as we continue to face new challenges largely brought about by Fuqua's successes," said Douglas T. Breeden, dean of Fuqua. "The school's achievements have led to increases in many exciting programs which have strained our facilities. Our objective is to continue to provide students and faculty outstanding facilities in which we continue our learning partnership in the great Team Fuqua tradition. Our thanks go to HCA for helping us achieve this objective."
Jack O. Bovender Jr., chairman and CEO of HCA, is a 1967 graduate of Duke and received his master of hospital administration degree from Duke in 1969. He has served on Fuqua's Board of Visitors since 1993. A 35-year veteran of the health care industry, Bovender has worked at HCA for more than 25 years.
"We are pleased to make this gift to Fuqua at such an important time," Bovender said. "Duke's Fuqua School is one of the top business schools in the world, and their Health Sector Management program is widely recognized as one of the best in the country. We are delighted by the opportunity to contribute to Fuqua's continued success."

(CNSNews.com) - Lockheed Martin is starting work this month on its latest multi-billon dollar contract to build 60 F-22 Raptors, the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world. But many critics, including the Government Accountability Office, are calling the continued production of the Raptor a costly mistake for U.S. taxpayers and U.S. security.
"It makes anyone angry who is concerned about the real defense of the country and not abusing the taxpayer," said Pierre Sprey, the man who designed the F-16 and A-10 fighters. "This is the opposite."
Sprey was one of three men who made up the so-called "Fighter Mafia" in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Sprey, along with John Boyd and Col. Everest Riccioni, helped revolutionize American aircraft design, challenging many of the notions under which the U.S. military had operated for years.
He said the F-22 is a near-perfect example of what the "Fighter Mafia" told the military to avoid.
"The F-16A, as it was in 1986, can whip today's F-22," said Sprey. "You'd think the F-22 would be able to whip some antique."
Sprey said the Raptor is too heavy, reliant on sensors and other technology, slow, and too reliant on stealth to be useful in today's combat environment over rough terrain against a relatively unsophisticated, guerilla enemy. That combination creates a "double whammy" for taxpayers: a less effective, more expensive aircraft.
Yet Congress voted to approve a contract extension for the F-22 last year at a cost of $6.2 billion.
The last of the jets bought under the contract will be delivered in 2010. Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) praised the contract at a press conference in early August, saying the F-22 is "the world's most advanced fighter and will ensure that the U.S. owns the skies for many years to come."
Chambliss also cited the use of a multi-year contract to buy the jets -- a move that required a special vote from Congress because such multi-year contracts are illegal -- as a cost-savings measure.
"That is exactly what the F-22 multi-year contract will do, by securing $411 million in savings and allowing the Defense Department contractor to conduct business better, faster, and cheaper," Chambliss said at the same press conference.
Defense analysts, however, said Chambliss is wrong about the savings to taxpayers, on two levels. First, the Government Accountability Office, in a 2006 report on the multi-year contract proposal, said the contract is actually more expensive when all factors are considered.
Secondly, because the jets aren't necessary, the government could have saved the entire $6.2 billion by not buying these 60 planes.
"It's too puny of a force, and it will not fly often enough to have any influence on any major conflict whatsoever," said Winslow Wheeler, director of the Strauss Military Reform Project at the Center for Defense Information. "Al Qaeda doesn't have an air force and wants us to have things like the F-22 for us to waste our resources on."
Even with the latest contract, the Air Force is buying a total of only 183 Raptors, after spending more than $60 billion to develop the fighter.
Wheeler said the Raptor isn't designed to perform an air-to-ground mission (which has been the primary role for the Air Force in conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq), and the small size of the force (the Air Force originally asked for more than 700 of the jets) would make it relatively useless in an air war against China, widely considered to be the only nation capable of engaging the United States in a conventional war.
Proponents of the program tend to agree with Wheeler's assessment, but draw different conclusions.
"The limitation to 183 F-22s means that we can only afford to base 58 between Alaska and Hawaii. So far, we are not putting them on Okinawa or Guam. I don't expect the Chinese to limit production of their 5th generation fighters (aircraft like the F-22) to 58," said Rick Fisher, an expert on the Chinese military and a vice president with the International Assessment and Strategy Center.
"Given the current Chinese threat and their potential transition to 5th gen combat aircraft, the prospect of only 58 F-22s as our front line of defense in Asia is quite depressing," said Fisher.
Tom Ehrhard, a senior fellow with the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments and a former Air Force officer, said the F-22, no matter how many are built, is a key component to the United States' continued air dominance and is vital to the Air Force's ability to fight a potential war with a "peer competitor" such as China.
He said the extreme cost of the program and its long lifespan is indicative of a problem with the military's purchasing program as a whole, and not an indictment of the Raptor.
"There's sort of a deadly dance that occurs between the people who are setting out the requirements and Congress who's funding it," explained Ehrhard. "It's like they feed on each other, and it's a major negative spiral."
Ehrhard admitted the small F-22 force could be beaten by a huge number of less advanced Chinese aircraft, but he said the Raptor will be as useful as a deterrent as it would be a battlefield weapon.
Because the Raptor is so far advanced beyond any other plane in the skies, Ehrhard said the Raptor will force other countries to react to the United States.
"We want to force our adversaries to be more defensive, and this is a system that does that," said Ehrhard. "It forces them to be defensive, and it has a huge deterrent effect by virtue of its presence, so these are things in air power that matter."
Critics of the program remain unconvinced.
The government watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste called the F-22 the biggest pork barrel project authorized in the latest defense budget, and the federally funded Government Accountability Office said in a 2006 letter, "the Department of Defense has not demonstrated the need or value for making further investments in the F22A program."
With proposals being floated to create a radically altered F-22 as a bomber (the F-22B) and a debate looming in Congress about selling the ultra-advanced fighter to U.S. allies such as Japan, Israel, and Australia, the experts agree the Raptor debate (and its price tag) is not going to go away.
Proponents of the program argue that the Air Force should buy more Raptors to flesh out its existing squadrons. Opponents suggest that improvements to the venerable A-10 would better serve the U.S. in fighting 21st century wars.
In the meantime, the tax dollars will continue to flow and the jets will continue to fly, though Wheeler and Sprey said the F-22 has yet to be deployed to combat in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Detailed Accident Report
Submitted By: WWAN
Place: Snowbasin
State: UT
Country: USA
Summary: 5 skiers caught, 2 fully buried, 3 partial, minor injuries
Snowbasin skiers survive avalanche
Saturday, February 26, 2000
By MELISA ANN WILSON
Standard-Examiner staff
SNOWBASIN -- Five lucky skiers walked away from an
avalanche that buried two of them and partially buried
the others.
Friday, a group of eight friends were skiing just below
where the Strawberry Express gondola unloads. The
group was involved with the NorAm Super Series
downhill race on the other side of the hill, but were
taking a few runs before the races began.
Dr. Jeff Harrison, an orthopedic surgeon at McKay-Dee
Hospital, described what happened next as he waited for
the rest of his group just below the ridge.
"We stopped to wait for everyone. The next thing I
know, we were tumbling and buried under the snow. It
was like a big slab of concrete coming over you. It was
big, we're turning head over heels."
The avalanche was triggered at 11:49 a.m. It covered an
area of about 100 feet by 150 feet, was 4 to 7 feet deep
and slid 400 feet. The entire avalanche area was within
Snowbasin boundaries.
As the snow tumbled over him, Harrison said he tried to
swim to stay above it. It seemed to go on forever. Then it
It took Harrison 20 to 30 seconds to climb out. He said
he pushed up on his feet, trying to feel the pull of gravity
and headed against it.
Once out, he immediately started searching for his
"The biggest thing was, is anyone else still buried," he
One hand stuck up from the snow, waving. Harrison
grabbed his shovel and began digging out Karen Marriott
of Park City.
Harrison, who volunteers once a week at Snowbasin as
a physician for the ski patrol and for the U.S. Ski Team,
was prepared. He called on his radio. Within minutes
other members of the ski patrol responded.
He also had the shovel and a beacon which sends a
signal from under the snow.
Thomas Hofmeyer, a student at Weber State University,
arrived on the scene just after the avalanche hit. From the
catwalk just below the slide area, Hofmeyer watched the
mass of snow come toward him and stop.
Then he saw Harrison, digging and coordinating the
rescue. Hofmeyer joined in with his poles.
Hofmeyer, who is from Sweden, said he used to help at
French ski resorts. He began probing for other victims.
He watched in awe as Harrison kept his head, rescuing
others in his party before the ski patrol arrived.
"He was just amazing according to me -- so disciplined."
David Smith, public relations representative for
Snowbasin, said Harrison was nothing less than a hero.
It only took 15 to 20 minutes to make sure the rest of the
group wasaccounted for. But, ski patrolmen continued to
probe the area until 2 p.m. to make sure no one was
missed. Snowbasin's new avalanche rescue dogs aided
in the search.
The gondola was shut down for the rest of Friday and is
expected to be open again some time today.
While swimming through the wave of snow, Harrison
said he lost his hat, one glove and his goggles. The
whipping wind and stinging snow left him with frostbite
on his ear and two fingertips as he searched for the rest
of his group.
Marriott suffered a neck sprain, according to Harrison.
Park City resident Marianne Waters tore a ligament in
her knee while she was partially buried. Two men were
also partially buried in the avalanche, but suffered no
Harrison said he had just been up on the mountain Friday
morning doing avalanche control with the patrol.
Gray Reynolds, general manager at Snowbasin,
confirmed the area had been checked for avalanche
danger early Friday morning.
"One thing about snow is that it isn't a perfect science,"
Reynolds said. "We do our very best to make it as safe
as possible. Safety is our primary concern."
With well over 3 feet of new snow in the last 24 hours
and winds up to 70 mph in the Strawberry Bowl area,
Reynolds said the danger of an avalanche was very high.
Reynolds said the ski patrol would be back out today to
blast for avalanches. After another check of the area,
Strawberry Bowl will be available to the public. The
Super Series downhill races will also continue today.
They were postponed Friday due to the weather
Tom Kimbrough, Forest Service avalanche forecaster,
said an avalanche warning is out through the weekend.

Isn't posting on Facebook "stupid shit"?Quote:
I went to the stadium for the celebration. It was essentially my lunch break. I worked on the way to the stadium, I worked on the way out of the stadium. My wife is pissed, so she childishly posts the following on facebook. I need an AWESOME retort for FB as we are not speaking right now.
Wife: So apparently I am married to one of the 100,000 dumb a$$' in Baltimore. Super proud moment!
Friend 1: Was it for yesterday?
Wife: Yes! I. AM. LIVID!!!
Friend 1: I thought he gave up trying to get downtown? did he manage to get to baltimore?
Friend 2: Why are you mad?
Wife: Because he is a total embarrassment to society. Sat there listening to me talk about the trash that went downtown to skirt responsibility and teach their kids that stupid SH!T is more important than real life!
Friend 3: <---trash ! It was an amazing family moment for us though and that is priceless! Addy's teacher told me to do it when I discussed it with her. She took her kids to the 1983 O's world series championship parade and her grown kids still remember that day with her. Guess I can say, the teacher talked me into it!
Friend 1: <---trash, too! (Who was even saving a seat for your dear husband . With Ron arriving that morning from NO, we too decided it would be a special moment to have together as a family, one that doesn't come around often. Personally, I didn't think it was nearly as bad as a school year trip to Disney, in which the kids missed multiple days of school to go to a place that is open 365 days a year. That was a lot of responsibility skirted, just to see a big mouse But, we rolled with it, and cherished the time together. Life is short, and sometimes it's the unique experiences that have the greatest impact as you grow older. I don't regret it.
Wife: Justify it as you wish but how would you have felt if Adelyn was having a serious asthma attack, gasping for breath and you called 911 and it took an hour for an ambulance because half if the drivers were at the stadium? My husband is an ass!

Autumn at the summerhouse. But we are there to plant trees and the clever people at the plant nursery have a scheme where you taste the fruit before you buy. We are looking to buy a pear to link our early and late espaliers so they hopefully can talk to each other, flower and fruit.
We settle on an old-school 'Anna' and also, predictably, fall for a 'Reine Claude' gage and a St Julien 'Opal' plum, plus a couple of 'Ben Alder' blackcurrant bushes to keep my mother-in-law in raw material for more delicious jam.
After an adulthood with only a windowbox and a couple of pots to plant in, seems I am intent on reproducing the orchardy, blossomy sights and smells of childhood.
The meadow needs cuttiing, leaves need raking, overgrown brambles and nettles need attacking and some of last year's rescued saplings need moving to a more permanent home. Just time to get everything in the ground and settled before the soil freezes (has been minus five already this month).
The cold has turned the leaves: rusts, roans, russets, every shade of old gold and ladyboy-lipstick reds: like a slow-motion firework display animated by tasteful wooden toys.
Just time before heading home for a long walk through the plantation behind the beach to see the ghostly shards of silver birch and the moss and cold earth reclaim the corpses of old pine. Halloween indeed.

Tags: FIFA Worldcup 2010, South Africa, South America
The group stages of the FIFA World Cup 2010 are nearing their end. Soon we will have clear daylight between the favourites and the ones who will be heading home. A lot has been made about this World Cup being the most open World Cup of all time. It has been unpredictable, but it is by no means the most open World Cup ever.
While most teams from Europe, Asia and Africa have been trying to put safety first by coming out on the field with the mindset of not conceding goals [a negative approach mind you] , teams from South America have been trying just the opposite. And boy have they been successful thus far! With the European and African nations stuttering, thank heavens for the South Americans, who have lit up the World Cup with style, flair, precision passing, defensive organization, attacking intent and an all-round liveliness about them.
Argentina and Brazil have been the most inspiring teams in the World Cup up till now, while Uruguay and Mexico have showed great attacking flair along with a stubbornly defensive unit. The USA have showed tremendous resilience and have always come out on the field of play with a 'never say die' attitude, which was reflected in their last minute winner against Algeria, courtesy of the golden boy of American 'soccer', Landon Donovan.
Brazil found it hard to break down a stubborn North Korean defense in their first match and took a while to get going against Ivory Coast in their second encounter, but finally got into their groove.
Argentina have been absolutely scintillating and delightful to watch as they have easily won their opening three matches of the competition and are among the favourites to lift the World Cup.
Paraguay have looked a powerhouse in Group F, drawing with the world champions Italy in their opener and seeing off Europeans Slovakia with ease in their second match and topping their group by claiming a draw against New Zealand.
And in the final group Chile, so impressive in qualifying, got off to the start they wanted with a win over Honduras, followed by another win against the Swiss.
The failure of European teams can easily be highlighted by the fact that both the finalists of the previous World Cup [France and Italy] could not even progress to the Round of 16.
Is this a massive changing of the guard, or have European teams simply underperformed? Did everyone underestimate the South Americans, with the exception of Brazil, and over inflate the chances of the traditional European powerhouses?
Unless this World Cup is to be a South American paradise, European sides will need to find form, and quickly. Otherwise Maradona or Dunga will surely get the chance to become World Cup-winning captains who also coached World Cup-winning teams. It is an unpredictable Sport and things can turn around very easily. Don't be surprised to see the fortunes of the European teams turn in the latter stages of the competition.

Jimena Navarrete
Reaping the benefits of her recent crowning achievement, Miss Universe Jimena Navarrete was spotted at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City on Wednesday (August 25).
Looking absolutely darling, the Mexican beauty waved at photogs and fans as she readied to tend to the Top Ten list on the "Late Show with David Letterman".
Her dream became a reality last night (August 23) as Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete was crowned as 2010 Miss Universe.
The Guadalajara-born beauty beat out eighty-two other pageant contestants and will hold the reign of Miss Universe for an entire year.
The competition was especially fierce this year, with super sexy contestants from 83 different nations, and last night (August 23) Mexico's Jimena Navarrete was named Miss Universe.
Handed the crown by 2009 winner Stefania Fernandez, the Guadalajara native was overjoyed to learn that she'd been chosen and immediately thought of her supporters in her home country.

We spotted this pristine Cutlass on Lafayette Street in SOHO. It's one of those rare occasions when a vinyl roof actually compliments an automobile – particularly funny in this case because many of the people who drove this car from '68-'72 continued the styling trend well into the 1990s.

I gave an old girlfriend a "holiday package" once.
Alright alright… not "package." Coupe… holiday coupe. Semantics, people. Semantics. C'mon, if you knew enough to know package wasn't right, you knew what the hell I was trying to say.
package or no package.. this Cutlass is tough.

This is a discussion on My SBR Build so far within the Defensive Rifles & Shotgun Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Well I have finally started to assemble parts to build my SBR and here is what I have so far. Lower: PSA stripped lower PSA ...
Well I have finally started to assemble parts to build my SBR and here is what I have so far.
PSA stripped lower
PSA Lower parts kit w/ Magpul MOE grip
Vltor A5 receiver extension
Magpul ACS-L Stock
BCM Upper Receiver Group comes with 16" barrel attached and BCM BCG
Noveske NSR 9" fore end
Future Plans:
I will be sending the lower off to be engraved with NFA markings once I return from my business trip.
Also plan on ordering an 11.5" Noveske barrel once the stamp comes in to replace the 16" barrel on the BCM.
I have not decided on what flash hider/brake I want, that will be determined by what I choose for a silencer.
I am currently waiting on my backordered Vltor A5H2 and A5H4 buffers.
I bought the complete upper receiver group so that I will be able to shoot my rifle as I wait for my tax stamp. Once parts become more available I will probably also upgrade the LPK to a Daniel Defense or Colt kit.
For optics I haven't decided if I want to just use my Eotech XPS 2-0 that rides on my MP-15 sport or upgrade to an Aimpoint.
I just thought I'd share what my plans are for my SBR at this point, and I welcome any suggestions on things that I have not made up my mind up on yet.

Here's something to fill you full of joy-joy feelings: struggling monster telco British Telecom isn't going to cut the 10,000 jobs previously declared - it's going to cut 15,000.
The news follows the revelation BT has lost £134m in its last financial year. The main guilty party is its global services unit, a division that handles enterprise network systems, which took a huge £1.6bn hit. In BT's favour, the BBC says it will be making £525m of pension contributions in each of the next three years to help cut the scheme's deficit.
"Three out of four of BT's lines of business have performed well in spite of fierce competition and the global economic downturn," said BT CEO Ian Livingston. "However this achievement has been overshadowed by the unacceptable performance of BT Global Services and the resulting charges we have taken."
The redundancies equate to approximately 10 per cent of BT's global work force and reflect the cost cutting undertaken by major enterprises during the recent times of economic turmoil/purgatory/hell-on-earth. Headline figures for BT's Q4 include revenue of £5.4bn, annually £21.3bn - both virtually unchanged from 2008.
The picture is unlikely to get any rosier for BT either as its fixed line services struggle against mobiles, its mobile service struggles against rival networks and its television services struggle against both Sky and Virgin. Furthermore, the eventual roll out of Long Term Evolution (also known as 4G - 3G's successor) touts speeds in excess of 300Mbit so its DSL business is under threat.
Nah, I wouldn't be buying shares any time soon...

From The Hill:
By Sam Baker – 07/25/11 01:00 PM ET
House Republicans leapt on a new report Monday that suggests small businesses might scale back their healthcare benefits in the wake of the reform law.
The survey, released by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), found that small businesses don't have much faith in the new law's power to control healthcare costs, but they don't necessarily expect to quit offering coverage as a result.
According to NFIB, the number of small businesses offering health insurance isn't likely to change much over the next year. Companies that don't offer it aren't likely to start, and companies that do aren't likely to quit.
The findings track with a series of recent surveys that predicted relative stability in the market for employer-based coverage. Even in a controversial study from McKinsey & Co., a plurality of employers said they would be likely to buy coverage through new exchanges for small businesses.
NFIB said "a relatively small" number of companies have dropped health coverage since healthcare reform became law — a net decrease of about 2 percentage points, as some employers dropped health benefits and others added coverage.
But, according to NFIB, 20 percent of small businesses say they expect to either decrease their plan's benefits or shift more costs to individual employees the next time they renew their plans.
And employers reported a starkly negative opinion of the new law. At least 75 percent said they expect to see their taxes rise and don't believe the new law will control the cost of insurance or reduce their paperwork burdens.
NFIB is part of the 26-state lawsuit challenging the new law's constitutionality.

I have 98 Catera that's in need of new cats. Are the Catalytic converters used on a 2001 Catera able to be used in mine? I have opportunity to grab a set off a 2001.

I have 98 Catera that's in need of new cats. Are the Catalytic converters used on a 2001 Catera able to be used in mine? I have opportunity to grab a set off a 2001.
Same engines so I would guess same cats.
Take a look ar your cats. see if the O2 sensors are located in same spots. I belive my 01 has mid bed o2 sensors. We ordered cats that were supposed to fit to find out that they did not.. i belive the older models may not have the O2 sensor in the convertors. I replaced mine with BRAND NEW aftermarkets for $240 including instalation.
Hgqguy...would be great to know where you bought the converters from and a part number if possible. I am looking to buy an aftermarket set of converters also and I wanna make sure I get some that are gonna fit properly. I have an 01 Catera also. Did you notice a huge difference in performance and/or fuel economy before and after the converter replacement? I am getting around 10-12 mpg at this time. I did a temperature test with an infrared temperature gun and both of mine have failed. Please help!!!
What do u mean by saying that test is fail. What reading u got after temp test. After my temp. test I got on driver side 256F before and 265F after cat. On pass. side got 270F before cat. and 302F after.
Read tons of post regarding temp before and after cats. If temp before cat is greater than temp after cat...then your cat could be clogged. Based on the temps you are giving I would say your cats are still good.
Temperature before my cats was about 100 degrees hotter than after.
how long were you driving before measuring the temps?Quote:

Drove about 30 min. Tested on running vehicle.

Cruise's UA close to deal, Globes uncertain: sources
By Sue Zeidler
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A film company run by actor Tom Cruise was close to an agreement with the striking Writers Guild of America, while the Golden Globes awards show broadcast was uncertain, people close to the matter said on Sunday.
The deal between United Artists, owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and run by Cruise, would be a first for a movie company during the 2-month strike, but would be similar to a pact reached between the guild and Worldwide Pants Inc., the television production company owned by David Letterman.
The source said on condition of anonymity the United Artists deal could be announced as soon as Monday.
United Artists and WGA had no immediate comment.
Letterman, Jay Leno and other late-night TV talk show hosts returned to the air last week, but only Letterman and CBS talk show host Craig Ferguson had writing teams intact because of interim deals reached with the WGA.
Separately, sources said the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which puts on the Golden Globes, was trying to persuade General Electric Co's NBC to back off televising the awards gala next Sunday.
Variety reported that NBC appeared to be backing away from telecasting the awards show, but a person close to NBC told Reuters "a lot of scenarios were at play."
The widely watched film and television honors gala is one of Hollywood's biggest ceremonies before the Oscars in February. Continued...

This column was supposed to be about, among other things, Josh Willingham and the large shoes he has to fill (Delmon Young, Jason Kubel and Michael Cuddyer) for the Minnesota Twins in 2012Instead, to begin with, we'll have the real story of how Jim Eisenreich made it back to the Major Leagues a story that was uncovered during a chance conversation Sunday afternoon at a dusty parking lot in Fort Myers, Fla.
(Eisenreich is a St. Cloud native who made it to the Major Leagues with Minnesota, was released because of a medical disorder, and made it back as a successful player with Kansas City and then with the Phillies and the Marlins, including being on a World Series winner.)
It was the annual Minnesota Day in Fort Myers on Sunday as the Twins and Pirates got together for a game. Minnesotans cook up lavish feeds, put up signs that tell what town or city they come from, tailgate in record numbers, and congregate for at least four hours before the game begins. (Four hours is a lot for those senior citizens.)
I was walking through the parking lot, stopping to say hello to fellow Minnesotans, hoping to run into someone I knew. Last year it took one minute to find someone I knew, the year before a few minutes, and this year 10 minutes.
Someone called out my name Sunday and it turned out to be Gary Halek, formerly the baseball coach at Sauk Rapids High School.
We caught up on old times, Halek mentioning – as he does every time I see him – that he coached a Princeton High School player in the high school all-star game in 1984.
We talked about Eisenreich and I told the story about how, in 1982, I wrote a story for a new sports publication based in St. Cloud, after an exclusive interview with Twins manager Billy Gardner, that predicted Eisenreich would start in center field for the Twins.
That was a scoop at the time but the owner of the new publication decided to hold off a week with the story and then Minneapolis columnist Sid Hartman ended up with the scoop.
Eisenreich, who ended up becoming the poster boy for Tourette's Syndrome, was booed off the field by Boston fans who didn't understand his medical problems and was released by the Twin in 1984. He was hitting .303 in about 100 at-bats that first year..
He played town team baseball for a St. Cloud team, in a league with Princeton in 1985 and 1986, and then was signed by Kansas City.
I've always told the story that Bob Hegman, a former Sauk Rapids High School player who had played in the Kansas City organization and was working for its minor league program, signed Eisenreich for a dollar, figuring he had nothing to lose.
Eisenreich tore up the Class AA Southern League, made it to Kansas City, and ended up with a 15-year career during which he hit .290.
But, I found out Sunday, it was Halek – the former Sauk Rapids coach – who called Hegman, his ex-player, and told him to take a chance on Eisenreich.
"I saw him hit that summer in town team ball," Halek told me. (Eisenreich hit .625 his first year in town team ball.)
So there you have it: Halek was responsible for getting Eisenreich, a wonderful guy who I played against those two years in Princeton and St. Cloud, back to the Major Leagues. Or, at least, partly.
Can Willingham make
up for loss of Kubel,
Cuddyer? And, oh
yes, Young?
I've seen Josh Willingham, the new Minnesota left fielder, play three times this spring and he's had only one hit. In fact, he has only one home run, and only one extra-base hit, in 25 at-bats.
Of course, no one else on the team has done much with the bat either. And it's likely Willingham is pressing as he tries to impress his new teammates.
What kind of credentials does this 33-year-old have as he seeks to add some power to a team that, WITH Michael Cuddyer and Jason Kubel, was 14th (last) in homers in the American League in 2011, and 13th (next to last) in runs?
He had a career high 29 homers and 98 RBIs for Oakland last year and hit .246 while striking out once every 3.3 at-bats. He also had 26 doubles but his slugging percentage was only .477.
He has 132 career homers, hitting more than 20 four times in six years while striking out once every four times at the plate. He played three years with Florida and two with Washington before going to Oakland.
With Kubel off to Arizona and Cuddyer off to Colorado, where right-handed hitters get a 21-percent boost in homers, Willingham will come to Target Field where, in its short history, right-handed hitters have seen their home run production go down by 17 percent compared to the league average.
And let's not forget that either the Twins panicked, or listened to fans too much, and traded away Delmon Young last year. Young, who led the team with 21 homers and 112 RBIs while hitting .298 the year before, then hit 8 homers in 40 games with Detroit and hit 5 – yes, 5 – post-season home runs for the Tigers. In return the Twins got minor league pitcher Lester Oliveros who was sent down to the minors last week. In other words, the Twins got nothing for one of the few power hitters the team had.
Maybe Joe Mauer (not a power hitter) and Justin Morneau (3-for-30 this spring) will return to form in 2012. And Danny Valencia may hit a few homers and so might a few others Or, maybe the Twins will be last in the league in homers again, no matter what Willingham does.
Here's hoping Willingham will hit at least 20 homers and here's hoping he doesn't feel too much pressure.
Lots of maybes and lots of hopes there, huh?

[NIKE CHANCE] Amirgy Pineda, who plays for Fullerton (Calif.) Rangers and the U.S. under-18 national team, has been invited to take part in the Nike Chance Global Showcase Nov. 1-4 at St. George's Park, the English Football Association's national center in Burton upon Trent.
Nike Chance is a talent search that gives young players over 16 years of age from around the world an opportunity to showcase their skills in front of elite coaches and mentors
from the top of the sport. Since 2010, Nike Chance has provided elite training opportunities to thousands of talented players, 19 of whom become pros.
"I was really excited and
speechless," Pineda said after receiving his invitation. "These opportunities are what you work for, so I'm hoping to have a great experience from this and learn some new stuff to
become a better soccer player."
At the Nike Academy, selected players will have the opportunity to prove their professional potential as they will be assessed on their technical
abilities through various drills and match competition. Matches will be observed by the full coaching panel and Nike Academy scouts.
Over the summer, Pineda played with the U.S. U-17s who
won the Niigata International Tournament in Japan.
"It was always my goal to get back in, and mentally I think I have become a better soccer player," Pineda said. "Every
time I get on the field in practice, I'm keeping in mind how to take advantage of these opportunities to play with top-level guys and learn new things to make yourself better and also make your
teammates better."

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Jun 17, 2009.
So true. He sounds like the guy who got dumped at the prom.
You do realize of course, that the round sphere is a colored ping-ping ball? Right hoop, but wrong ball.
Not so tough. Here's the Bill Laimbeer of the ABL YouTube - Piranha Attack
I guess the Shock go undefeated the rest of the way now that they have a coach with NBA coaching experience leading them.
Let's see how this plays out...
Grizzlies hold key to 2009 draft - NBA - Yahoo! Sports As Mark Jackson would say: "Come on Joe Dumars; You're better than that!"
On the contrary, they have not won either of their two games (vs the Fever) since Lams stepped down....So hopefully no one is suggesting hiring Mahorn at this time....unless the Shock players in a show of unity decide to throw away the season to prove that Laims is a great coach and motivator....
I was being extremely facetious in the post you quoted. It may be possible though, that the Shock players got a good look at Mahorns NBA experience, and realized that they actually sucked in comparison. Oops, there I go again.
I know you were, but in case no one was paying attention, I wanted to point out that the Shock were still sucking w/o Bill's leadership....

Pressure is mounting on Transport Minister Scott Emerson to announce changes to southeast Queensland's busways before the university semester begins.
The proposed changes, which follow a six-month review of the bus network, include axing 36 routes, merging others, reducing evening and weekend services, and putting extra services along the main transport corridors into Brisbane's central business district.
In July 2012 Mr Emerson said he hoped to announce the changes before the start of the university year. The University of Queensland's O-Week starts on Monday, with lectures from February 25.
The proposed changes became a heated issue at Tuesday's Brisbane City Council meeting, with Brisbane's LNP Lord Mayor Graham Quirk saying he would never endorse such changes "and never will".
"We will always put the people of this city first," Cr Quirk said.
Labor's Opposition Transport spokeswoman Jackie Trad also said she was unhappy with the proposal.
The routes that would be axed under the changes include four Bayside bus routes (256, 259, 268 and 283), 12 Brisbane bus routes, seven Gold Coast routes, three Ipswich routes, six Logan bus routes, two in west Brisbane (465 and 522), and two on the Sunshine Coast (601 and 613).
There will be improvements, although no further details have yet been released.
A Translink spokesman confirmed on Tuesday that on major transport corridors there would be services every three to five minutes during peak hours and and every 10 minutes during off-peak hours.
There would also be better coordination of services between the CBD and major suburban hubs at Carindale, Chermside, Indooroopilly and Mains Rd, he said.
Bus services to Mt Ommaney, Albany Creek and Morningside would be combined to improve the frequency.
Ms Trad called on Mr Emerson to reveal the details of the new routes.
''The Minister needs to bring some certainty into this debate,'' Ms Trad said.
''There are many people in local communities who are not happy about the proposed changes,'' she said.
She questioned proposed cuts to night-time services in inner northern suburbs, to Helensvale, to the CityGlider service past South Bank, while Brisbane council lifts parking fees.
''I think there are significant safety issues in the Helensvale area, particularly if young kids are travelling from working late nights in the shopping centres after school,'' she said.
She said changes to reduce bus services in outer suburbs would ''isolate outer suburban communities.''
Cr Quirk said all Brisbane councillors had ''a number of concerns'' about bus routes which he wanted addressed.
"I understand quite a number - if not all of my colleagues - on my administration side also wrote submissions in relation to it," he said.
But Cr Quirk said assertions made by Leader of the Opposition Milton Dick that Brisbane Transport employees had been "gagged" from speaking with the Translink officers conducting the review was "absolutely news to me".
A spokesperson for Mr Emerson brushed off Ms Trad's comments, saying the second round of consultation was completed in December and if she submitted her feedback before then it would be considered as part of the review.
The outcomes of the review will be considered later this month, the spokesman said.

1960s English Electronics Tonemaster and Amp in a no reserve auction. English Electronic was a brand produced by Valco. The Res-O-Glas (Fiberglass) Tonemaster bears a lot of similarity to the Nationals and Supros Valco was producing at the time. Read the description and take a look at the pictures here. Seller believes the guitar to be all original, with OHSC. Seller isn't sure about the originality of everything with regard to the amp and notes the Jensen Special Design speaker has a small hole in the cone. Here's a video of a dude playing a '64 Tonemaster (not this one). A really nice package. Very, very cool.

Miter Saws
What is everyone using for miter saws I am going to get a new one today and have narrowed it down to either the hitachi or ridgid 12 inch double bevel non slider anyone have any expieriance with either ?
We have the 12" Ridgid Sliding compound.
It's operated fine over the passt several years.
Only problem we had was when a meathead worker dropped it from 14' - off a set of pump jacks and it hit the lawn. A few peices got broken, but most was covered under the Ridgid warranty = Nice.
i have always used Makita and have always been very pleased with the value. I don't know if they have a great warranty or if i just have a great rep in my area but they have always taken great care of me, and have even brought tools to my jobsite and left them with me so i can take them for a test drive before i buy

On a frantic day of action, teenager Tara Moore started the run by thrashing 11th seed Iveta Benesova 6-1 6-2 for a win in her first WTA Tour level match.
"I was nervous but I kept the pressure on her," said 19-year-old Moore. "I love the grass. I performed well today and this win gives me great heart going forwards."
Anne Keothavong celebrated her ascent to the British number one ranking this week by beating the 12th seed and last year's Wimbledon quarter-finalist Tamira Paszek 6-2 7-5.
"It's always nice to be at the top of the British rankings," said Keothavong. "Especially as there's quite a few of us who are doing well and there's a lot more competition in British women's tennis than there has been."
Wild card entry Melanie South came through 6-1 4-6 6-3 against Croatia's Mirjana Lucic, who reached the quarter-finals in Edgbaston last year, before Laura Robson beat Grace Min of the United States 6-4 6-1 to keep the momentum going.
"I started off really aggressive and I kept that going in the whole match," said Robson. "In the second set I was just a bit more consistent on my first serve return and that made a big difference."
Robson was followed onto Centre Court by her doubles partner Heather Watson, who prevailed in a tight match against Argentina's Paula Ormaechea 6-4 3-6 6-3.
Robson and Watson had extra reason to celebrate on the day they learned they had been handed wild cards into Wimbledon.
"I'm very happy (to get a wild card)," said Robson. "I'm very grateful they've given me one again, and I'm also really excited to play doubles there with Heather too."
It is the first time in the history of the tournament that five British players have made the second round at Edgbaston Priory Club.
There is still a chance that a sixth British player will join them after Elena Baltacha's first-round match against Kai-Chen Chang was suspended at 9.20 pm with Chang having taken the first set 6-4 but Baltacha a break up in the second at 3-2.
Baltacha's match against Chang will resume on Wednesday, with the winner to play Watson later in the day.
South's reward for beating Lucic is a second-round encounter with former world number one Jelena Jankovic on Wednesday when the top eight seeds enter the fray after first-round byes.
South against Jankovic opens play on Centre Court, where ticket-holders will also see top seed Francesca Schiavone and defending champion Sabine Lisicki in action.
Of the other British players, Keothavong takes on world number 32 Zheng Jie on Centre Court, while Moore faces Casey Dellacqua, and Robson takes on Marina Erakovic on Court 1.

May 10, 2012
By Brian Davis, Assistant Media Relations Director
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The #5 Tennessee Lady Vol softball team (46-9) utilized a huge sixth-inning HR off the bat of senior Holly Baker and a three-hit effort from the circle by sophomore pitcher Ellen Renfroe to win its 19th-consecutive contest, out-lasting Auburn (33-21) in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals, 2-1.
The Big Orange now advances on to the semifinal round to battle #7 Florida (45-10) on Fri., May 11, at 3 p.m. ET live on ESPNU.
Baker's solo HR marked her first of 2012 and just the second big fly of her career, while junior second baseman Lauren Gibson was 1-for-2 with a walk and a RBI. Junior third baseman Raven Chavanne reached base successfully for the 34th-straight contest, going 1-for-3 at the dish, sophomore center fielder Tory Lewis was 1-for-3 with a run scored and senior catcher Ashley Andrews was 1-for-3.
In the circle Renfroe improved to 27-3 overall, allowing one run on three hits with a walk and four strikeouts in her 22nd complete game of the season.
"I'd like to praise Auburn," Lady Vol Co-Head Coach Ralph Weekly said. "They played hard today and had a good game plan. Their pitchers were good. We struggled, but we tell the kids all the time, the longer you play, the better you get. I was just proud of them. There were a couple of times that things weren't going so good, but we righted the ship and got the result that we wanted."
After Auburn left a runner stranded in the top of the first, Chavanne tried to get something started against Tiger starter Jenee Loree in the bottom half of the opening frame. The Thousand Oaks, Calif., native beat out a perfect bunt single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by junior right fielder Kat Dotson and advanced within 60 feet of pay dirt on a long fly out by sophomore shortstop Madison Shipman. Unfortunately, she remained at third as a routine grounder to shortstop concluded the inning with no scoreboard damage.
AU recorded a two-out threat in the top of the second against Renfroe as a fielding miscue on a bouncer off the bat of designated player Hilary Mavromat and a walk issued to third baseman Caitlin Schultze put a pair aboard for the Tigers. In keeping up the early theme of missed opportunities, left fielder Baylee Stephens popped up the first pitch she received to third, upping Auburn's left stranded count to three through a pair of frames.
A sharp single through the infield by UT's Lewis on a 1-2 pitch got a scoring rally underway for Tennessee during the bottom of the third that resulted in an eventual Big Orange lead. Following a sac bunt by Chavanne and a Loree wild pitch, Shipman walked and swiped her 18th base of the season, placing a pair of Lady Vols in scoring position. That set the stage for Gibson to deliver as the Pasadena, Md., native hit a slow chopper into a perfect spot on the infield for a RBI single and a 1-0 advantage.
Embroiled in a full-scale pitcher's duel, Auburn finally managed another base runner in the top of the sixth, breaking a string of 10 consecutive AU batters retired by Renfroe as shortstop Lauren Guzman christened the inning with a lead-off single through the left side. With two retired after a sacrifice bunt and a ground ball to short and Guzman stationed at third, Tiger catcher Elizabeth Eisterhold drove a shot down the left field line. Defensive replacement Baker charged over just inside the foul line and made a running catch to conclude the threat with Tennessee still maintaining its one-run advantage.
As so often happens in softball, Baker followed her solid defensive effort to end the top of the sixth by starting the bottom half of the frame with what proved to be a vital solo blast off the base of the Rhoads Stadium scoreboard to make it 2-0. The big fly was the Broadway, Va., native's first HR of the season and marked just the second of the senior's career.
No one had any idea how vital that insurance run for the Big Orange would prove to be until there were two retired in the top of the seventh inning. Mavromat drove a solo HR to left, cutting the UT lead to just a single tally at 2-1. Renfroe refused to be fazed by the AU big fly, however, getting a groundout to third from Schultze to finish off the SEC quarterfinal triumph.

A New Day is Dawning
by David Forrest (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Alberta, Canada (May 21, 1999) -- Change is afoot in the Foolish Workshop! As many of you have noticed and commented, the Workshop needs a tighter focus. Here is what we plan to do:
1) We are going to concentrate on mechanical models exclusively and provide more in-depth discussion of various aspects of mechanical model investing with emphasis on tested models.
2) We are moving Beating the S&P to the Foolish Four area. This column will still run on Wednesdays.
3) We'll be dropping the rising margins screen.
4) Alas, my regularly scheduled column on Friday afternoons will also be a thing of the past. I will be writing one column a month, however, to go over special situations and to update the Most Appearances model portfolio.
5) Finally, we've hired a data research monster here at Fool HQ. One of the responsibilities of this data monster will be to backtest. We're pretty happy about this.
Initially, we will be running columns twice a week as we tighten the focus and develop writers who are able to share some of the exciting work that goes on in the Workshop with a larger audience. Which brings me to...
Perhaps most exciting of all is that we'll be having guest columnists from our community share their Workshop thoughts on a regular basis. If there's anything we've learned over time, it's that the most knowledgeable voices in this forum are your voices. We have smart folks from the community as guests on our radio show, we quote people in our columns, and we share stories of your genius with our family and friends. We're hoping that many of you will want to share your thoughts more formally in our columns. If you're at all interested in guest hosting one of the columns, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
As always, thanks to everyone who has given us feedback and helped us shape the future of the Workshop. This is an evolutionary process, and I have no doubt that we'll continue to change and innovate based on your needs.
Take care,
