Research Scientist Appointments
The university recognizes that outstanding research and scholarship are required to have distinguished undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral training programs. Research Scientists and Senior Research Scientists are an important part of the research endeavor of the University. The principal duty of individuals in these positions is to conduct research related to the academic program of the appointing unit(s). The research program may involve students, classified staff, administrative and professional staff and other faculty.
To qualify as a Research Scientist, the candidate must have earned a doctoral degree in an appropriate field and have previous research experience. They should have authored publications, made presentations of papers to professional societies, and/or will have contributed inventions, new designs or techniques that are of material significance in the solution of important applied programs. A typical candidate would have served in a postdoctoral position for at least two full years, have demonstrated productivity and would be competitive for an RO1 grant from the NIH. They should have demonstrated a level of experience and productivity beyond that of a postdoctoral fellow.
Rights and Responsibilities
Research Scientists and Senior Research Scientists are expected to secure external funding for their salary and to support their research program. They may direct undergraduate research and advise graduate students subject to the approval of the departmental graduate studies committee and the Graduate School. They may also train postdoctoral fellows. If the letter of support from the department chair acknowledges that it is his/her understanding that as a Research Scientist this individual will have Principal Investigator (PI) status, then PI status is effective the date of the Research Scientist appointment. If this is not included in the department chair's letter of support, a separate request for PI status and a curriculum vitae must be sent to the Senior Associate Vice President for Research, Janet M. Weisenberger, PhD, 208 Bricker Hall, 190 North Oval Mall.
Appointment Procedures
Research Scientists and Senior Research Scientists may be appointed in a department, division, center, institute, or laboratory. The request for the appointment may come from any faculty member (sponsor) or the department chair. All requests must include:
- A letter of support from the department chair (on department letterhead)
- Approval from the associate dean for research, or vice dean (or dean) of the college. (This approval can be in the form of a separate letter, an e-mail, or a notation made on the letter of request)
- The individual's CV
- A position description
Request letters and all supporting documentation can be sent electronically to the Office of Research to firstname.lastname@example.com, with a copy to email@example.com, or mailed to Janet M. Weisenberger, PhD, Senior Associate Vice President for Research, 208 Bricker Hall, 190 North Oval Mall. Please direct any questions regarding the review and appointment procedures to Cheryl Cahlander at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 247-4764.
An individual should not be offered a Research Scientist or Senior Research Scientist position until the credentials have been reviewed and recommended by the department chair, and approved by the Office of the Vice President for Research. A department has the option of involving the Appointment, Promotion and Tenure Committee in the review process, if it chooses.
For newly created or vacant Research Scientist and Senior Research Scientist positions, a copy of the individual's CV, a letter of support from the chair and approval of the associate dean for research, or vice dean (or dean) of the college should be sent to the Office of Research before the information is entered into the Human Resources (HR) system. All actions for Research Scientists and Senior Research Scientists in the HR system are routed to the Office of Research for review and/or approval. If an individual is being considered for the position, the credentials may be reviewed concurrent with or subsequent to the position posting approval.
An individual holding a regular appointment at the university may be reclassified to a Research Scientist or Senior Research Scientist position. Reclassification requests submitted to the Office of Research for review and approval should include a letter from the chair, approval of the associate dean for research, or vice dean (or dean) of the college, a position description, and a CV. Any individual in a temporary or term appointment is considered an external candidate and is not eligible for reclassification. Research Scientist and Senior Research Scientist positions are in the Senior Administrative and Professional category and the 00 Pay Range. Qualified persons may be appointed for indefinite periods of time and renewals of appointment are contingent upon satisfactory performance as determined by the supporting unit and the department chair.
The level of compensation (salary plus benefits) for the Research Scientist or Senior Research Scientist will be negotiated by the candidate and the assigned unit. The amount of compensation established at the time of appointment should be comparable to salary levels for tenure-track faculty or equivalent rank in the appointing unit. Persons in these positions are not eligible for professional leave. They accumulate vacation at the rate of 176 hours/year and sick leave at 10 hours/month.
Senior Research Scientists
For promotion from Research Scientist to Senior Research Scientist, a candidate must have demonstrated the ability to obtain extramural funding and have authored a significant number of publications. The overall productivity of the candidate should be equivalent to the requirements for promotion to full professor status in an academic unit. The department's Promotion and Tenure Committee, at the request of the department chair, should generally perform this evaluation. Outside letters of recommendation are required. The candidates should not solicit their own outside letters and the reference letters should speak to and support the research experience and qualifications of the individual. Please forward the recommendation of the unit to the office of the Senior Associate Vice President for Research for final approval.
Adjunct Faculty
The department chair has the option of requesting that an individual with a Research Scientist or Senior Research Scientist title be appointed as an adjunct assistant/associate/full professor. This request must be submitted to the Office of Academic Affairs for approval.
Departmental Administration
Classroom teaching is not required as part of the normal duty of a Research Scientist or Senior Research Scientist. However, if a Research Scientist or Senior Research Scientist wishes to participate in a course, he/she may request involvement with the approval of the department chair. There will be no additional compensation for any voluntary teaching duties. Research Scientists or Senior Research Scientists may be eligible to attend faculty meetings and may be allowed to vote and serve on committees within the unit subject to the guidelines of the unit. However, a Research Scientist or Senior Research Scientist may not participate in promotion and tenure matters of the regular faculty. Research Scientists and Senior Research Scientists who hold graduate faculty status are eligible for election to the Council on Research and Graduate Studies.
Classification Specifications and Questions

EMV and Chip Card Security
Boom in electronic payment
Paying by card is an integral part of most people's lives. According to estimates, there are over 8.3 billion cards in circulation. Almost 14 billion US dollars were transacted by card in 2012, just under a third of the value of all global transactions. Even in emerging economies, card payments are increasing. At least some 264 million people in India (2011 figures) already own a debit card, and the number is growing at a quick pace.
With its popularity, electronic payment has also become attractive to criminals. Where once it was mostly banknotes that were forged, criminals today are very much trying to abuse payment cards.
Demand for standard in global use
In response, the first attempts to use chip cards, which are significantly better protected against fraud compared to magnetic strip cards, came as early as the 1980s. Since then, a number of various standards for chip cards have been developed. EMV, with approximately 1.5 billion cards and over 20 million terminals (2012), is the most widespread standard and has become synonymous with "Chip and PIN." EMV is an acronym for Europay, MasterCard and Visa – the card organizations that developed it in the mid-1990s.
EMV is based on open specifications and enables global interoperability of chip cards and readers for debit and credit card payments. Payments can be made with both normal contact-based cards or with form factors containing an antenna for contactless data transmission. In addition to contactless payment cards, key rings, cell phones, stickers, or even car keys can be used.
Yet regardless of the form factor used, the switch to chip cards remains a demanding and major project for banks. With its experience of numerous migrations on every continent, G&D is the ideal partner for advice and implementation along the entire value chain.

Minimum Height of Tub & Shower Drains?
On my upstairs shower and bath, both p-traps will be draining into a 2" horz line....which is only going to be about 12" below the drain of the respective device....This is about as far down as I can go until I transition down another wall into my main sewer.
So....I assume that there is no min height? I hope there isn't.
I do know that the vent for each respective drain has to be at least 6" aove the highest drain connection (that part is not an issue)
No minimum. Maximum tailpiece under UPC is 24"

I have to write this first so that people will understand, tummy tuck is not a surgery for over weighted people. This procedure is for people that lost weight either because they were fat or pregnant, and their skin did not stretched back to the way it was before.
i had the surgery and I am very pleased with the results. After 4 children this surgery changed my life. I can ware a bikini now with no self conscious thoughts.

Everone should have goals Nota.
Probably a neighborhood in some kind of distress: flood, hurricane, tornado, but with no police presence. They are taking care of their own. When the first police car does finally show up, he will probably tell them to go home, put up the guns, or he will arrest them. So, why do a lot of law abiding citizens not trust the police anymore?
I wish they would have put an address on that sign. This seems like a real nice place to raise a family!
I especially like the hog the third guy from the left is holding. I think he should be using both hands to hold that monster!
Letter to WSJ.
Since 2004, candidates for public office are required by law to state that they have personally seen and approved any campaign ad. I think it would be reasonable—and truly should garner full bipartisan support—to demand a law which simply requires our legislators to read the laws that they pass.
Suppose a "yes" vote also requires a signed statement, before the vote, that says, "I have personally read this law, in its entirety, and approve its content."
So here I am….Minot North Dakota. Im currently in a hotel room, typing on a complimentary keyboard directly to my TV screen/the internet. Unbelieveble to me. There are no wires at all! How cool is that? Free internet on my TV screen. What a country!

God Bless each and every one of US!
"Oh, by the way, study the Constitution, idiot," said the judge. Or so I am guessing the conversation went…..
DES MOINES (AP) – A federal judge has ruled an Iowa sheriff violated a man's First Amendment rights when he denied the man's application for a permit to carry a weapon.
U.S. District Court Judge Mark Bennett ordered Osceola County Sheriff Douglas Weber on Wednesday to issue a permit to carry a weapon to Paul Dorr of Ocheyedan.
The ruling states that Weber approved a permit for Dorr in previous years when Dorr traveled the country to protest outside abortion clinics and only denied Dorr's request after he began working with a taxpayer's group questioning county spending in 2007.
Bennett also ordered Weber to take a college level class on the U.S. Constitution.
Weber declined comment.
What part RD? Let me know if you make it near the far SE corner.
RD, you won't believe it. Yesterday I deleted a comment made by someone who violated the ROE.
L&L, that is some serious man on the street (or interstate) reporting. That's some sick shit.
By the way, I am told that there are some serious labor strikes going on in China right now. Imagine that. I thought that by now the Chinese had figured out what happens to protestors.
In the world of sports;
It appears that Jesse Jackson fears LeBron James is being viewed as a runaway slave.
Al Franken Elected by Convicted Felons?
"That's the finding of an 18-month study conducted by Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, which found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race between Franken, a Democrat, and his Republican opponent, then-incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman."
Professor Kenneth Howell at the University of Illinois has been fired from his position as Adjunct Associate Professor of Religious Studies for sending an email to his Catholicism Studies students stating "…in other words, sexual acts are only appropriate for people who are complementary, not the same,". This comment apparently offended at least one student.
Meanwhile, the University of Illinois at Chicago continues to employ non-offensive professors like Bill Ayers.

I was actually crying/laughing in the car this morning listening to the most qualified democrat in the country give a speech to the NAACP.
I just can't get enough of it.
After my mailbox was run over two consecutive Saturday nights, I bought a 3 inch steel pipe to mount it on. 7 feet tall. I put 3 foot in the ground and ran a little over 2 yards of concrete down in the hole. They evidently were in jail the next weekend, but a week later the assault continued. We were awakened about 1am by the sound of the Liberty Bell ringing. Looking out the window, we saw a car limping away with the headlights in the trees. In the morning, there was oil and anti-freeze on the pavement. Haven't seen them since. I guess they found somewhere else to play.
I'm sure that movie, when it comes out, will be nominated for an academy award…wow
The only problem I have with it is the method of propulsion used by Sharktopus. An Octopus uses a totally different method for getting from one place to the other quickly but I'm not sure how you could do that effectively on the shark torso and have it understood by the viewer. I must give them credit for at least trying to portray Sharktopus as manipulating its tentacles as a means of moving forward. Regardless, this would be highly inefficient and creatures of the sea are not inefficient. That is the only thing that I find to be unrealistic in this production.
Does anyone here realize how Sharktopus will advance television entertainment? Up until now THIS was only thing on television that shark lovers had to chew on…
thanks for my morning belly-laugh! i would have loved to have seen that!
I'm surprised a hockey game didnt break out….
Don't wear a Cleveland Indian hat in Lame Deer, either.
No, no, LnL. We don't mess with anyone. We've just learned to wear proper apparel in certain areas. It creates less stressful potential situations is all….But it is safe to wear Fighting Sioux apparel on the Spirit Lake Reservation here…They support that.
Never wear Cubs clothing in a bar on the south side. Only I can do it and get away with it.

"Next stop, River City, Ioway!"
Yeah, I went to high school in Belleville IL just across the river from Saint Louis (San Lewiee in French). I can still remember kids drank 'sody pop'. But being born in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota (Ish Tak Ha Bah in Lakota Sioux), I remember lots of clever pronunciations.
I never could understand why Minnesotans were upset with the accents used in the movie Fargo. I thought they had it down pretty well.

water on oil based?
I have a feeling I won't like the answer. I'm tired of painting louvered doors, so took a shortcut by buying Rusteolem spray paint in a can. (good for metal or wood). I thought I would do the final coat with my nice SW trim paint.
Only thing, I realized it was oil based when my brush, (where I touched up) didn't rinse out.
I am putting the 2nd coat on tomorrow, so since it hasn't cured will it be alright to use my water based trim paint on top? Please say yes.
Afterwards I looked at the can and it said clean up with mineral spirits which I didn't have so I used mower gas. My dad used to do that. Except I put the gas in a plastic cup and the cup dissolved and the gas ran all over the garage and smells badly.
Louvered doors=royal PITA When I started I used one of those yellow buzz sprayers to do doors and trim. They are really pretty cheap now, and if you don't want to keep it you can sell when done. And yes you can put water based over oil. May want to light sand a little first. Just a scotch pad or something light your just scratching it.
ts. Thank you SO MUCH. Whew escaped a lot of hard work there.
Only 1 pantry door remaining then I'm FINISHED with louvered doors so probably won't get a sprayer at this point..
That leaves 4 solid paneled doors, but I don't mind them.
Water based paint WILL NOT bond to oil based unless it is primed with a bonding primer first.
Tool,It's painting basics, Latex will not bond to oil based paint.It will peel off in sheets.
Wish it were that simple. Depends on WHAT oil, WHAT waterborne, and WHAT prep..
I have to agree with tool on this one. A properly sanded oil base surface will take latex paint and it will bond. Sorry Charlie. Any non-bonding finish, latex or oil, will peel over any unsanded surface, latex or oil, over time.
I've been asking the "truth" about that question for twenty five years now, and I've never heard a paint expert say it's true, and I've never seen it in print form in any paint company or laboratory literature. The only place I've ever heard that is in chat rooms like this or from other rank and file painters. I have been told by numerous pros in the paint store that they tell people that because they know people don't sand properly, and that will get them in trouble. It takes more than a scuff sand.
It's the same with Zinsser. They tell people, Do Not Use TSP, prior to using their primers. TSP doesn't present any problems for their primer, but the fact that people don't rinse properly/at all creates a problem. So they just tell you not to use it at all. It's because we're stupid and lazy.
ok, a light scuff then prime. Will do.
I googled it.Every site I found said priming with a bonding agent was crucial for adhesion.I have close to thirty years painting and wouldn't consider using a latex over oil without a bonding primer.To each his own.
Charlie, I'm looking for a paint authority to tell me that, not painters who are doing what they were told is necessary, and I haven't seen or heard it. I've never seen or heard the following, "when switching from an oil to latex, or latex to oil, system, which have incompatibilities and different expansion/contraction rates, it is critical to apply an intermediary/transition primer coat, the lack of which will lead to bond failure".
While you will always benefit from a bonding primer, that doesn't necessarily mean the lack of it equals failure. When I was taught it as a kid it was primer, not bonding primer, and it never made sense to me, so I asked, and have been asking and searching since. I've gotten many answers, but none that say it's necessary or critical. And I've been around long enough to have learned the hard way that it is indeed. Peace out.
I do not ALWAYS apply a bonding primer, but probably 75% I do.Sanding, in my mind ,is still pretty much essential
I think a lot goes back to when latex was first becoming popular then it was true you had to be very careful. But over the years latex has evolved to where it is now and that is totally different from back then. I think this is just something that is still around. You got to remember back then latex paint was really bad. And everything was painted with lead based oil whice also made for different adhesion properties.
at least this is my bedroom closet so no one will see it compared to all the other doors in the house.

Morris Arts' 3rd annual Pumpkin Illumination event provided some much needed respite from storm worries on Sunday night as happy crowds gathered at the Vail Mansion reflecting pool.
Although the Morristown Mayor and his wife were appropriately concentrating on the Town's storm preparations and NBC recalled its meteorologist, Janice Huff, to assist with storm monitoring, the hardy souls who were at liberty to attend clearly enjoyed Julie Pasqual's dramatic and entertaining "scary" storytelling and the artists' "carve-off. " It was a chance to grab in some of the Halloween spirit before the storm took over.
The Pumpkin Illumination Event is part of Arts Everywhere!, a program of Morris Arts' intended to bring expressive, spontaneous, free and fun artistic happenings to nontraditional spaces and to promote a sense of community through the arts. This year's event is generously sponsored by

Excellent property great connection to the golf course
June 25, 2017
I was very hesitant about what life would be like having an extended stay at a hotel. My wife assured me that she had did her research and the Staybridge would be the best choice and close to my employer. We went in to visit the location the Front Desk staff had very good energy and super resourceful. I was onboard for the new transistion after finding out about all the perks that were offered. It seemed to have everything that we need an more. Once we checked-in, the kids were very excited. Front desk was very courteous and friendly and offered us a discount on the pantry. We took a tour around to find out where the amentites were and the children were disapointed that their was not a basketball court at this location. My wife told them to utilize the other amenities on the property an we should be fine. The room was spacious and felt comfortable at first. Once we got set to go to bed, the bed was a bit firm and the pillows were flimsy. My wife told me not to worry and she'd get our pillows out of storage. The next day we decided to cook something but the electric stove burners were insufficent and didn't hold the heat properly. So we ordered take out mostly everyday. The 3rd day we were there we wanted fresh linen and sheets. When my wife took the sheets off the bed their were two spots of fresh blood on the insert padding underneath the sheets. DISGUSTING!!!! We had left the room by the time that housekeeping had arrived and for some reason. They didn't change the bedding at all. My wife was SO UPSET!!! The kids said that they asked but, because they didn't understand they said no to them changing the bedding even though all the beds have been stripped of all bedding. So when we returned to the room we went to the laundry room and washed all the bedding. The very next day, my wife was on the phone to see if we could switch our reservation to another Staybridge a few minutes away. They said that because we had prepaid it was possible that we couldn't switch hotels and they referred us to contact front desk to see if they would. My wife and I decided that we could stick it out and just not stay there again after our time was up. We denied any further room service cleaning because my wife overheard the cleaning staff talking about her. WOW! We also had encountered a few pest in our room during our stay. Not sure if Staybridge would right this wrong for our 18 night stay. But we had every intention on have a great comfortable stay and my family was disappointed.
Great Stay with Family!

406 cam/heads combination needed
Hi all... I'm a newbie here and would like some information for replacing my SBC 406 heads and cam. I'm not wanting high RPM's, and former owner simply replaced the cam to a Crane single pattern 228 @ .050, .480 lift, and 112 lobe separation (rpm range listed at 3k-6k). Needless to say, there's no bottom end, and that's pretty much want I want. Here's the present config:
3100 lb, 4-speed, 3.55 rear
.30 over 400
Stroke - 3.75
Rods - 5.565
Rockers - 1.5
Heads - 76cc stock
Pistons - .160" recesssed
Crank - stock cast
Cam - Crane grind 284 H12
Carb - Holley 670
Intake - Edelbrock EPS dual plane
Cylinder pressure 135psi (not much, huh)
Here's my thoughts... Dart Iron Eagle 180cc heads with 64cc chambers. I don't know what the cc dish of the pistons are, but they are the type with no valve reliefs, just recessed (TRW 400NP-30). Not wanting to replace the bottom end at this time. I was hoping someone could calculate the cc's and how much the compression would increase with 64cc chambers. As far as the cam, I was thinking the Crane 262 dual pattern would bring on the power down low, but not sure how well the match is for those heads. I'm open to all suggestions. Tnx!
262 with the 180's. Won't be a race car or anything, but it will have power and give you bottom end. Plan on a 5000RPM redline-
The cam you have is pretty small. Especially on a 406. The Dart 180 cc heads will work, but I would recommend something in the 200 cc range if you are going to bring your compression up.
Try to get your compression above 10:1.
My concern with the cam is the Crane spec'd RPM range of 3-6k. Seems like other manufacturers with similar specs are 2-5.5k, which has me
My thought on 180cc runners is velocity, plus I don't have a great exhaust system with ramhorns and 2" sidepipes, which is why a dual pattern may do a better job. There's nothing I can do about that, short of tossing the stock sidepipes, and they are way too cool for that... I also would like to keep the compression within reason for iron heads and pump gas. That Crane grind recommends 9.5 - 11. There's got to be a better combination out there to have peak torque at around 3500 RPMs. Without knowing the cc dish (aside from the .160" recess figure), I can't use those 'calculators'. And without going overboard, Dart 180cc heads are probably waaaay better than my stock 1970 76cc truck heads. I thought about a Vortec setup like CHP's article on the "406 Impersonator", but not enough room under my hood. I thought they made great power and they used a Lunati cam with similar specs.
Please keep 'em coming. Tnx!
If I remember correctly, my 406 has 12cc dished forged pistons. I used the Vortec 64cc heads, which should give me about 10:1 static. I also used the Comp Cams XE268, which has an advertised range of 1600-5800. I like the combination.
The problem I see with your current combination is your compression is in the basement. I would definitely replace those 76cc heads and go with a 64cc chamber. Those Darts you described should give better low end. The 400 is not a high winding engine anyway.
I have a 4.145" bore, (.020" over). With flat top pistons and 7cc valve reliefs, my compression comes to 11.2:1 compression with 64 cc heads.
Don't forget that most cam specs are figured for 350s. The same cam in a 400 is going to make the cam act smaller. You can figure the powerband will shift approximately 400 RPMs.
Here's a link to the TRW pistons I have. Any ideas what the cc might be? They really look deep!
I'd like to get some idea of the compression effect of going from 76cc to 64cc heads. Also, do you think simply changing the heads to obtain better flow and more compression will significantly improve the throttle response if I left the existing cam in place?
Those pistons would probably get at least into the 9-9.5:1 area, which is good enough for pump gas and the street.
(I know somebody will come back and say they're running 20:1 on regular pump gas.)
I didn't look up your cam, but the increase in compresssion has to help.
I would guess those pistons would get you less compression than that.
i have a 406 with the trw-speed pro-federul mogul,they started out in life as trw.anyway if you would simply shave your heads and hone the cylinders a little and use new rings there isn't any reson why you can't hit 400-450 horese with the came you have and have 400 lb.ft. of tork starting at about 2000-2500 rpm.i use the power forged L2352F30 pistons.they're forged resonably price and will give you yrs. of service.oh yea the ones you showed from summit are the 1976 style 400 piston. the one i gave reference to is 1970 style and stock will give 9.95-1 c.r. before boring.get rid of the 5.565 rods and use the 5.703.you'll have a whole different animal.its not as nessasary to spen money on techincal parts as a lot of people sometimes think.sometimes your heads might not have the higher flow rating but do have higher velocity.more important to start with the foundation and go up from there.
Tnx for the info everybody. I'm really not wanting to pull the motor and start over at this point with a better piston/rod combination, but I agree that may be the best course. I'm guesstimating that the pistons are around 27cc dish if the L2352F30 are at 14cc. I'm tempted just to do a 64cc head swap and see what happens. Decisons, decisions...
If your looking for lowend torque I wouldn't drop the dime for big valve large runner heads.Not to mention without headers your not gonna reall see the power potential those heads have to offer.I'd dig up some 64cc 1.94s,perhaps 1.94 double humps or vortecs(if ya don't mind getting a vortec intake).
Also what ever you get you'll need to have your steam holes drilled in the new heads.
I like TFS heads for your application, (Trick Flow) excellent velocity and enough CFM to build serious HP as well... and Im pretty sure the price is attractive as well...
I believe Summit racing equipment sells TFS heads..
Don't buy 1.94 heads. It will be a serious waste of money.
I have Sportsman II heads 2.02 valves. They came with "big runners". Mine are ported extensively. I haven't lost any bottom end.
People base their opinions on valves size and and runner size with a 350 in mind. A higher compression 406 with its bigger bore size and considerable displacement, will like the bigger heads.
Actually I based my opinion on the fact that 1.84 valves give a 350 more lowend than 1.94s.Therefor 1.94s should do the same for a 400.
I'm just not into dropping a grand into heads that are meant for something of a differant purpose.If I wanted lowend I wouldn't drop a grand on heads that make lowend and could make the power if I ever wanted it,I'm gonna save 7 bills and get what suits my current needs.

Girl you're in the kitchen
Cooking me a meal
Something makes me wanna come in there and get a feel
Walk around in your t-shirt
Nothing else on
Strutting pass, switching that ass while I'm on the phone
Cutting up tomatoes, fruits and vegetables and potatoes
Girl, you look so sexy while you're doing the damn thang
I want
Sex in the kitchen over by the stove
Put you on the counter by the buttered rolls
Hands on the table, on your tippy toes
We'll be making love like the restaurant was closed
How would you like it, baby
(How would you like that?)
Tell me right now pretty baby
(Hey man, I'm gon call you back)
Girl you're in the kitchen, chillin in your robe
I'm sayin to myself she better go put on some clothes
Tickling and teasing
Doing that little dance
Girl, you gon make me lay you down and give it to you one mo 'gain
[Chorus 2x]
Girl I'm ready to toss your salad
While I'm making love,girl I'll be feasting
Girl you're in the kitchen
Sweating up a storm
The oven's on 500
So you know the kitchen's warm
Girl you know just how to get into a brother's mind
Cause here we are still in this kitchen
Doing it for the third time
[Chorus (fades out)]

Re: Hot Rod Brougham!Originally Posted by Katshot
But you gotta keep in mind, my car weighs over 1000 pounds more than an F-body.
And I don't really think it'd be a granny gear, per se. It'd be a short trip through 1st, but not unbelievably steep. Right now I think I can get 35 or so MPH out of 1st. I never really look at the speedo when I'm driving aggressively though. Usually looking at the track/road and tach. I would assume I'd lose, 5, maybe 10mph most in 1st gear under heavy acceleration. Besides, in normal driving, I'm in usually 4th by 30-35 anyways. 1st just gets you moving.
It sure will be nice to not do the 6th - 5th - 6th - 5th - 6th shuffle round 60 mph.

For some reason your Cadillac reminds me of mine
Which I can't get pictures up of right now for some reason
Re: Hot Rod Brougham!
Thanks for the welcomes and info guys! I did not think there were that many cadillac hot rodders out there. Glad to see the LT1 Brougham has a good following wiht some very nice mods on many cars. I appreciate the inof on the OBDII LT1- Edit. That looks like the route I need to go on my Brougham to eliminate the top speed limiter, that gets hit quite often by the way. I have been kicking the SS wheels around for about a year and keep saying "nah" but after looking at you guys cars with the wheels and differnt caps on them, I am on my way!
Does anyone know if there is a better tire to run on the car than the 255 50 17 as far as sidewall height? I do not want to lower this car and I know the SS tire will leave fenderwell gap. I would like to say with a 28" tall tire like as the 235 70 15 that these things unfortunatly use. Any info on a good size to tun that looks correct on stock height car would be appreciated.

Re: Hot Rod Brougham!
I run a 255/55-17. It rides nice, handles well, and doesn't look too low profile. Obviously there's very little difference between a 255/50-17 and mine but sometimes little things make the difference.
Same thing with my center caps. They are only center caps but the hours of work on them paid off I think. I never really liked the Impala SS wheels but the big contrasting color Cadillac centers made a huge difference and now I like the wheels. Details, details.

Re: Hot Rod Brougham!
Looks good and the work you did on you centercaps was enough for me to go find some SS wheels after a year of saying no! Cant wait to do it! About had it with these damn "nail gard" tires on this car.. They are the biggest weakness but what do you do as black walls on the factory wheels look awful. Thanks for the ideal on the 255/55 17. They seem to be about the same height as the 235 70 tires. Any brand recommendations on that size?
The 80 500CID Brougham has 15x8 Cragar star wires and Vouge Wide Track 235 70 15's . I really am not that big on the look with the tire, but in order to keep the sleeper appearance and still have a moderatly decent tire, thats what I ended up with. I also used that cragar wire as it is one of the few "strong" wire wheels. Knocking over 600 ft lbs of torque through most wire wheels will spin them out, but these seem to be good and are used on many hot rod applications. They were also the only 8" wide wire that did not have that "low rider" look and kept in somewhate appearance with the original factory "appliance" wire wheels that you could get on these cars. I'll take some better phtos of that car soon and put on my site as it really is quite interesting and the 500 project is rather new to it.Originally Posted by Katshot

More jobs coming to Idaho Falls
IDAHO FALLS - So, what type of skills are needed to work in a corporate headquarters?
Some of the new positions will be office jobs such as finance and marketing. But don't be scared by the word headquarters. Idahoanfoods was granted $240,000 to train 60 new employees on how to get the job done right.
"They did look at a number of locations," said Bob Everhart, the Executive director of Downtown Development.
But they chose Idaho Falls. And Everhart couldn't be happier that a commercial business is ready to expand in downtown Idaho Falls.
"They saw the advantages of being here and were very open to that opportunity. So we just tried to remove the roadblocks and make it easy for them to do," said Everhart.
And now Idaho Falls has 60 new job opportunities awaiting them -- along with a minimum pay of $12.60 an hour and are expected to average $14.84 an hour.
It's all due to the workforce development training fund. It's a program started by the Idaho Department of Labor. To improve the qualities of businesses, the Department of Labor allowed Idahoan Foods to use 3 percent of their unemployment insurance taxes in order to create more jobs.
"This is a quality business that's looking for long-term relationships with their employees," said Everhart.
And are willing to give eastern Idaho new jobs -- and more people that can feed the downtown economy,
"Businesses that employ people that work downtown will buy product downtown, eat downtown," said Everhart.
"We're working on making it such a viable part of our community," said Everhart.
Everhart says a commercial business like Idahoan Foods, is something Idaho Falls needs to help expand the community.
Idahoan Food's manufacturing facility is in Lewisville.

BRASILIA/GENEVA – Brazilian health authorities confirmed on Thursday a case of transmission of Zika through a transfusion of blood from a donor who had been infected with the mosquito-borne virus that is spreading rapidly through the Americas.
The health department of Campinas, an industrial city near Sao Paulo, said a man with gunshot wounds became infected with Zika after multiple blood transfusions in April 2015. Officials said they determined that one of the people whose donated blood was used in the transfusion had been infected with Zika.
Zika is usually contracted via mosquito bites, so transmission of the illness through blood transfusions adds another concern to efforts to contain the outbreak. Some countries have tightened procedures for blood donations, to protect blood supplies.
Zika has been reported in 30 countries since it first appeared in the Americas last year in Brazil, where it has been linked to thousands of babies being born with microcephaly. This is a condition where infants have abnormally small heads and often have underdeveloped brains.
Campinas health officials said the donor of the contaminated blood developed symptoms afterward that were mistaken for dengue, a virus borne by the same mosquito that transmits Zika. A blood test that showed he had Zika was not completed until Jan. 28 this year.
The blood center at the University of Campinas said a second person who donated blood in May developed symptoms and tested positive for Zika, though the recipient of the contaminated blood has not developed symptoms of the virus.
Brazil's Health Ministry said the first recipient died of his wounds and not from the Zika infection. It said it was reinforcing instructions to blood banks that people infected with Zika or dengue not be permitted to donate blood for 30 days after full recovery from the active stage of Zika infection.
On Tuesday, the American Red Cross urged prospective donors who have visited Zika outbreak zones to wait at least 28 days before giving blood, but said the risk of transmitting the virus through blood donations was "extremely" low in the continental United States. The agency asked donors who give blood and subsequently develop symptoms consistent with Zika within 14 days to notify the Red Cross so the product can be quarantined.
Also causing concern is the possibility of transmission through sexual contact. Health officials in Texas reported on Tuesday that a person in Dallas became infected after having sex with another person who had traveled in Venezuela, where the virus is circulating.
The World Health Organization on Thursday also advised countries against accepting blood donations from people who had traveled to regions affected by the Zika virus.
"With the risk of incidence of new infections of Zika virus in many countries, and the potential linkage of the Zika virus infection with microcephaly and other clinical consequence, it is estimated as an appropriate precautionary measures to defer donors who return from areas with Zika virus outbreak," the WHO told AFP in a statement.
Canada and Britain have already moved to protect their blood supplies.
Canadian blood agencies earlier Wednesday announced that anyone who had traveled to a Zika-risk area will be ineligible to give blood for three weeks upon their return.
The 21-day waiting period also applies to cord blood and stem cell donors who have traveled to Zika-affected areas.
In Britain, the National Health Service Blood and Transplant agency has said that from Thursday, anyone returning from Zika-affected countries will be made to wait 28 days before being allowed to donate blood, as a "precautionary measure."
"The safety of the blood supply is paramount and it is important we implement any precautionary blood safety measures agreed here as a result of an increasing prevalence of infectious diseases found around the globe," a spokeswoman said.
The mosquito-borne Zika virus has spread to 26 countries in South and Central America and the Caribbean. It holds little danger for most people but has been linked to a surge in cases of microcephaly, a condition that causes babies to develop abnormally small heads, leading to permanent disability or death.
Zika symptoms resemble those of a mild case of flu — headache, muscle and joint pain, mild fever, and a rash. In 70 to 80 percent of cases, the disease goes unnoticed.

OptiStreams Chooses Technologies You Can Count On
Best of Breed Technologies Are Our Goal for You for All the Services We Provide
Satellite Technology
Satellite Technology Basics
Satellites are highly specialized wireless receiver/transmitters that are launched by a rocket and placed in orbit around the Earth. There are hundreds of satellites in use today, most being geostationary (GEO). GEO satellites have an orbital altitude of about 22,000 miles above the earth's surface. A satellite which is in a GEO position above the earth's equator will appear from the earth to be occupying a stationary position. One GEO satellite can see about 40 percent of the earth's surface.
Satellite communication is one particular example of wireless communication systems. Similar examples of wireless systems are radio and television broadcasting and mobile and cordless telephones. Systems of this type rely on a network of ground-based transmitters and receivers. They are commonly referred to as 'terrestrial' systems as opposed to satellite systems.
Satellite communication systems are different from terrestrial systems in that the transmitter is not based on the ground but in the sky: the transmitter here consists of a ground-based part called the uplink, and the satellite-based part that 'reflects' the signals towards the receivers. This part is called the transponder.
More specifically, a transponder is the electronic equipment on a satellite that receives signals from an uplink, converts the signals to a new frequency, amplifies the signal, and sends it back to earth. Satellites are usually equipped with multiple transponders. These transponders are capable of handling approximately 100 bits of information per second, making satellite an ideal medium for the transfer and reception of all kinds of data.
VSAT Networks
VSAT stands for "very small aperture terminal". It is often referred to as an "earth station", and its purpose is to receive satellite transmissions. A VSAT earth station comprises two units: an outdoor unit (ODU), which consists of a small dish antenna (usually 2 to 4 feet in diameter), LNB (which receives the satellite signal) and the transmitter (which sends the signal); and an indoor unit (IDU) which contains a receiver and components to communicate with the end-user's network hardware, such as a server, PC, kiosk, etc..
VSAT networks have gained in popularity due to their unlimited geographic reach and efficient transfer and reception of data. VSAT networks are not constrained by cable or terrestrial limitations, and offer corporations, schools, government agencies and other users numerous advantages over land-based technologies.
The following are several benefits to satellite technology implementation:
- Available Nearly Anywhere: Satellite communications are available virtually everywhere. All you really need is a clear view to the southern sky. Land-based technologies are limited geographically and often times financially. Satellite is an equal opportunity technology.
- Versatile Applications: Satellites can support all of today's communications needs — internet access, transactions, data monitoring, multimedia.
- Proven Reliability: Satellite is a proven technology that has been used for corporate communications for years. The consistent and uniform quality of service to hundreds of locations, regardless of geography, has made satellite technology an efficient and economical solution for many applications, especially when contrasted with terrestrial solutions which typically have a mix of different technologies and topologies and different levels of congestion and latency.
- Business-grade service with SLAs -Optistreams Aetheron services can deliver uptime (guaranteed with SLAs) and throughput similar to SDSL or Frame Relay circuits, for prices competitive with SDSL and much less than Frame Relay.
- Out-of-the-box secure networks - Optistreams VSAT networks use encrypted over-the-air data transfer and frequency and time division multiplexing to create out-of-the-box secure networks, with no additional VPN or other overhead required.
- Unbeatable multicast support - Need to get the same data to tens, hundreds or thousands of locations simultaneously without straining your network? The DVB outbound of select Optistreams satellite services is native-multicast medium, making it the perfect solution for distributing data, files, video and more with electronic delivery receipts and immediate distribution.
- Service on the go - Optistreams offers portable VSAT solutions that can be mounted on vehicles or deployed rapidly in fixed locations, then packed up when you move on.Emergency operations, Disater Recovery Teams , Military Units and the like can take their VSAT service from one location and have it installed at another when needed.
- Uniform service levels - Unlike conventional DSL (where the speeds/services available are based on infrastructure and distance from your telco Central Office), satellite VSAT technology offers the ability to deliver the exact same speed/service level to every single one of your locations - even internationally!
- Full-time or part-time services - Optistreams Aetheron offerings include standard full-time services as well as usage-based services that allow you to pay only for what you need. This makes Aetheron the most cost-effective choice for backup networks.
- Centralized network management - Because of the hub-and-spoke architecture of VSAT networks, Optistreams can control the network from one of its redundant earth station locations.
- Physically Diverse Backup Path: Optistreams VSAT services are perfect for backup/failover connectivity. Optistreams Aetheron /iDirect Hub equipment is housed in the Western Hemisphere's largest and most secure facilities of any teleport in the United States.
- Total Scalability - Optistreams satellite networks are easily scalable, allowing users to expand their communications networks from a few to several thousands of sites easily and cost-effectively, as well as their bandwidth.
- Quick Deployment: Satellite networks can be rolled out quickly and inexpensively to multiple locations.

Beaten by a nose as the 2-5 favorite in the Jim Murray Memorial Handicap (gr. IIT) one month ago, Champs Elysees tries to atone in the $300,000 Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap (gr. IT) on the Hollywood Park turf course June 7.
Champs Elysees can make his dam, Hasili, the first Northern Hemisphere broodmare to produce five grade I winners with a victory in the Whittingham. Her prior grade I winners are Banks Hill, Heat Haze, Intercontinental and Cacique.
Trained by Bobby Frankel for Juddmonte Farms, the 5-year-old British-bred son of Danehill drifted out late in the 12-furlong Murray after taking command in the stretch, losing by a nose to On the Acorn in a tough decision. The Whittingham, at 1 1/4 miles, should be a little more accommodating for Champs Elysees, who faces six rivals. Lava Man, who won the Whittingham in 2006, is the 121-pound high weight.
Champs Elysees has won at the 10-furlong distance in the U.S., taking the San Marcos (gr. IIT) at Santa Anita in January. After racing 11 times in Europe, Champs Elysees has that victory to go with a pair of runner-up efforts and a third-place finish in four U.S. starts for Frankel.
Rafael Bejarano rides Champs Elysees for the first time. They break from the far outside post and will carry 119 pounds.
Lava Man returned from nearly six months off to finish an even third in the TVG Khaled Stakes on the Hollywood turf at 1 1/8 miles April 27. The multiple grade I winner has earned $5,232,706 in his fabulous career, but the 7-year-old California-bred gelding has lacked any closing punch in recent starts.
"He's got to prove he's back to his original form," O'Neill said June 4. "He definitely needed his first out after his first vacation."
In an effort to reverse the fortunes of his 17-time winner, trainer Doug O'Neill has replaced jockey Corey Nakatani with Tyler Baze after Nakatani had ridden the California star in 18 consecutive races.
After winning the Whittingham two years ago, Lava Man finished a strong second in 2007, giving way late to After Market.
"We're excited about the race, he's training great and we think he should win," said O'Neill. "There's an old cliché to take one race at a time. But we're looking for a big effort, and if he comes out of it good, we know where his next start would be."
That's the Hollywood Gold Cup (gr. I) June 28, where Lava Man would be chasing an unprecedented fourth straight victory in 1 1/4-mile event on Cushion Track. Lava Man tied Native Diver, a winner from 1965-67, as the only three-time winner with a nose victory last year.
Grade I winner Artiste Royal never really got going in his last start, the 1 1/8-mile Turf Classic (gr. IT) at Churchill Downs on a good course May 3. But the 7-year-old ridgling has been training well for his return to Southern California.
Trained by Neil Drysdale, Artiste Royal rallied from last at Churchill to finish third, two lengths behind the victorious Einstein. In his most recent work since, the Irish-bred son of Danehill clocked 1:28 3/5 for seven furlongs on grass at Hollywood June 1.
"The course was too soft for him at Churchill," said Drysdale, seeking his sixth victory in the Whittingham. "He didn't like it. A mile and a quarter is his best distance."
Artiste Royal won the Clement Hirsch (gr. IT) at Santa Anita last October.
Warning Zone comes into the Whittingham off a runner-up finish in the San Juan Capistrano Handicap (gr. IIT) April 20 at Santa Anita for trainer John Sadler.
Mr. Wolverine, trained by Jorge Gutierrez, turned in a strong effort in defeating Lava Man in the Khaled, winning his first stakes race by nearly two lengths.

The pay for part-time lawmakers in Utah doesn't get any better than it does in Salt Lake County, where council members overseeing the state's most populous metro area pocket more money than the Senate president and House speaker.
Even so, these council members are considering a plan that could more than double their $35,000 salaries -- a politically thorny proposition that could propel them closer to full-time status, with earnings as high as $81,000 a year.
The sponsor, Democratic Councilman Randy Horiuchi, maintains it will better serve constituents by allowing council members to work longer hours, rely less on hired assistants and get paid for their time.
His envisioned result: A council that works more directly with its constituents and provides high enough wages to attract candidates who otherwise couldn't break away from their 9-to-5 jobs for an elected post.
"I just want people to be as good of elected officials as they can be," he said.
But Horiuchi already has taken a bruising from some council colleagues and from outside critics who note the measure would amount to a 130 percent pay raise at a time when the county is cutting millions from its budget and contemplating a wage freeze for employees in 2010.
Then again, the proposal wouldn't require any additional tax dollars. Each council member simply would work hours now covered by his or her assistant and trim that aide's pay in return. Those full-time assistants currently receive about $73,000 a year.
This salary shift would represent a stark departure from the pay scales of other part-time councils across the state, none of which pays its members more than $30,000 annually (not counting insurance or other perks). Although not unexpected in smaller places such as Grand County, where seven council members receive $8,500 a year to shepherd a county of 9,500 people, a sizable gap still appears in places like Salt Lake City, where the capital's council members make less than $23,000 annually.
In the Utah Legislature -- with part-time lawmakers -- the highest paid House and Senate members gleaned less than $25,000 in annual earnings.
"We are paid fairly well," Democratic Councilman Joe Hatch conceded. "That cannot be disputed or argued. But it also can't be disputed or argued that we work a lot harder than other part-time councils."
Indeed, Salt Lake County is the largest local government in Utah, with stewardship over 1 million people, an $800 million budget and more than 4,000 employees.
Yet, critics say, Horiuchi's proposals could nudge council members closer to the full-time commission that voters abandoned less than a decade ago, enabling them to work a 30-hour week. The subsequent $81,000 salary -- if council members accept it -- would exceed the county's median household income of $54,000.
What are the consequences of nearly a full-time work week?
It could muddle up the separation of powers, some warn, with the council dabbling more and more in the daily administration of county Mayor Peter Corroon.
"It is hard to manage by committee," Salt Lake City Councilwoman Jill Remington Love said.
Others argue it could lead to government growth, higher taxes and career politicians who no longer hold down day jobs.
"I don't like the idea of professional politicians," GOP County Councilman David Wilde said. "We have too many of them in D.C. We don't need them in Salt Lake County."
But supporters counter it could yield a more hands-on council. "I would much rather pay a County Council member $81,000 a year and have that be their full-time job," said Sen. Scott McCoy, a Salt Lake City Democrat who argues that part-time legislators generally are underpaid in Utah. "Then I would know that person would be giving me all of themselves [while still] earning a decent living and not having to worry about balancing outside employment with that job."
That's the conversation the County Council will have today. It's an issue that has grown so heated, Hatch says, it may not be "worth the price" to move it forward.
The Salt Lake County Council is scheduled to discuss the pay proposal today at its 1:30 p.m. meeting at the County Government Center, 2001 S. State St.

UPDATE 5-Potash Corp keeps sights on buying K+S, vows to protect jobs
(Adds K+S comment, CEO comment on operating costs)
By Shubhankar Chakravorty and Rod Nickel
July 30 (Reuters) - Canada's Potash Corp of Saskatchewan Inc remains focused on acquiring German salt and fertilizer company K+S, the company said on Thursday, and is prepared to make "binding commitments" to maintain jobs and keep mines running to get a deal.
If it acquires K+S, Potash Corp, the world's biggest fertilizer producer, would finish building K+S's Saskatchewan mine and sell its potash offshore through Canpotex, Chief Executive Jochen Tilk said during a conference call. Canpotex is a sales partnership with Mosaic Co and Agrium Inc .
"This combination would create a more efficient, integrated company able to prosper in an increasingly competitive global marketplace with expanding global capacity," Tilk said.
Potash Corp said it intends to talk with K+S management, despite K+S's rejection this month of Potash Corp's 7.9 billion euro ($8.65 billion) bid of 41 euros per share.
Tilk's comments are "nothing new," and provide no basis for talks, K+S spokesman Michael Wudonig said.
K+S has suggested Potash plans to shrink the company. Analysts have speculated Potash wants to acquire K+S, a higher-cost producer, to shut some production to support prices.
Tilk said reducing operating costs remains his goal. Continued...

ISLAMABAD – Pakistani politician Imran Khan was to leave the hospital Wednesday, his party and doctors said Tuesday, two weeks after breaking bones in his back in a fall at an election rally.
The 60-year-old was ordered by doctors to remain immobile in a hospital bed with fractured vertebrae and a broken rib after falling from a hoist raising him to the stage at a rally just days before the May 11 general election.
Shireen Mazari, spokeswoman for Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf party, said the former cricket star was feeling better and had managed to walk in the hospital.

BOWLING GREEN, OH -- Police here and agents from the Ohio Investigative Bureau raided an Internet café on June 14 and seized sweepstakes videogames, according to various press reports.
Officials said the machines, which also vend phone cards, were believed to be in violation of state gambling laws.
Ohio law does not expressly regulate sweepstakes games or sweepstakes videogames and cafés, leaving individual jurisdictions to adopt their own policies.
State Attorney General Mike DeWine is reportedly working with lawmakers to craft legislation for regulating sweepstakes videogames to be fair, honest and compliant with Ohio's gambling laws. | SEE STORY
Under current Ohio law, skill-based amusement machines are permitted, but are limited to noncash prizes with a wholesale value under $10. The state Supreme Court upheld that limit last October.
