We really need some opinion from colleagues about recent small web project. Actually that will be small application which will provide easier communication between clients and designers. We still working on fully support for mobile/tablet devices but desktop is around 95% done.
Check please:http://reviserr.com
Please be free to register (if you can use TF usernames so we can provide you full access) and add suggestion about UI/UX, bugs maybe, what do you think overall etc.
Any help at this stage will be really appreciated.
The first suggestion is that you write something about the project on that landing page. Provide some screenshot and ideally some video, people don't like to just dive into unknown things especially when they are asked to upload something, they must feel secured and safe and unknown is the opposite. Even in the public beta.
^ If I add video, image, content, explanation or any instruction how it works I can't get valuable/clear feedback how it is UI/UX actually.
If you need to upload image (JPG/PNG) there is no way that application can harm you, only you can harm application.
Thanks, appreciate any suggestion. (by the way full access provided @aleluja)
I tried to access via iPad, and like @aleluja stated, without some explanation I couldnt figure out what it was or what it does, because it doesnt work on ipad.
So from a UX point of view ( I now you stated mobile dev is still under way ) but with no pointer to what it is , does function or instruction it fails for me. However , not tested on desktop machine.
Good Luck
Agreed. I wouldn't upload any file to a website which does not clearly state its intention. It's not about harm. It's about privacy.
^ OK Here is little explanation what is it.
Reviserr is small web application which help clients and designer to finish their design projects faster.
It simple help all clients and their designers to avoid any misunderstanding in communication in only three steps, upload, add notes and send, simple like that. Clients can send valuable and clear image based feedback to designer for revision at light speed.
And that is it, for screenshots or video I really think it is not necessary cause there is only few pages (3 all togheter) but if anyone insist I can add screenshots and video too.
Thanks for feedback, appreciate it!
(also if you leave feedback here and registered there please leave username you use for register there so I can provide full access to you)
interesting concept.
when I clicked edit I would have liked to be able to draw over the image, just basic pen and a couple of colours would suffice…
also, being able to choose colour for the box would be nice rather than cycling through random selection… someone might want to use green for good stuff and red for bad stuff… would be easier to select from a palette below the buttons…?
I think with things like dropbox and skype apps like this aren't really needed but happy to be proved wrong
hope that helps
^ Thanks, good suggestions. (main point is to keep it simple, so simple that you can taste it without to much options)
BTW C'mon you can't do this with skype or dropbox. Idea is to avoid using paint, photoshop, draw tools etc…so you can send feedback from cafe, airport etc. you do not need to be stucked beside PC all day to provide feedback to your designer (if you are project UI/UX manager for example). Anyway all critiques appreciated really. Thanks a lot!
I suppose you used MSFX username there (full access granted so when you have time…)
pebas said
If you need to upload image (JPG/PNG) there is no way that application can harm you, only you can harm application.
Tell that to psychology of the human race
You should consider at least putting a small button that pops up a video with the things explained with describing what is the problem and how this site can solve the problem and benefit to the user with some screencasts.
And +1 for drawing, just a pen, nothing more, for marking an area for example.
And thanks for the full access

Rebuilding a T-350. Finding parts?
how do you get a new pump ? how much are they ? do you rebuild them ? we have no tranny shop here in cornfield no where, i could own the market here if i could learn trannies and have a parts supplier hookup, but then theres no machine shop here that can do anything with tranny parts and such....
I have a TH350 rebuild post with pics here:
The transtar kits will work fine, but you need to be sure you get a COMPLETE kit.
You will probably order stuff you won't need, but as a first time DIY'er, you don't want to be halfway through it and need one small part, and not have it onhand.
It will require more shipping costs, more time, and you "lose your place".
After you've rebuilt a few, you can stop anywhere in the build and come back a week or weeks later and not have an issue, but for the first time rebuilder, I suggest keeping everything extremely orderly, and try to do it in a short of time as possible.
I have to run but can answer questions later.
I split off your recent post to a 3 year old thread.
Perhaps better / newer answers .
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
Crosley ok thanks
Jake how do you block off passages ? what do you use ? also how do you pull/remove bushings ? is there a shadetree way ?
that is a freaking awesome thread, i am in awe
what do you do about pumps and converters, you buy new converters or ? whats a good supplier of converters and bushing kits and such ? we dont even have a tranny shop here let alone any parts suppliers, out in the middle of cornfields
also did you make your compressor tools or are those bought ?
this page says to use 700r4 planetary in the th350 to make it a 3.06 first: http://www.truckinweb.com/tech/0510t...sions_install/
is this really possible and have you ever tried it ? what all parts and modifications would be needed ?
thanks for making that thread and spending time helping ppl like myself out, thats awesome
You cannot use 700 planets in the Th350. While the parts are similar, and some of the parts are interchangeable, the planets themselves are not.
The sun gear is different for the different planetary pinion teeth, and unless you can design and cut an new sun gear...
You can buy a 2.75 low ratio planetay set from several vendors. While I like this gear spread in SOME cases, most cars don't need it.
I have used those gears in some Super Stock drag cars, but other than that haven't needed them.
My compressor tools are bought, you can make your own tools for some areas.
You can get away with using a couple of ~6" c-clamps on the direct and forward drums. I started out using those long ago when I "rebuilt" these things in the garage floor.
The low/reverse piston spring compressor is about $35 new, and they can usually be found on Ebay.
I use a universal cam bearing remover/installer for many of the bushings in the automatics.
I had the tool when I was building engines often and a cam bearing is basically the same as a trans bushing.
I still use it because I like the bushing being held by the rubber sleeve on the tool.
However it will only get so small.
On a TH350 you can barely get the sun gear bushings in with it.
The PITA on a TH350 build is the output to input shaft bushing. It is always worn, and MUST be replaced as it is critical to the lube of the planets.
It's a pain to get out, and you must be careful driving it back in.
I made a driver to drive it in.
The TH350 is rough on bushings, so it usually needs most of the replaced. Direct drum, output-input, pump, sun gear, input ring gear, output housing, etc.
I just replace them all whether they look decent or not.
really good info.
awesome info
what did you make the bushing driver out of
howcome that truck site says the 700r4 planetary works in the th350 and how did they do it then ?
2.75 first gear ? that would be better than 2.52, hmm not as neat as 3.06, but...the cost wouldnt be worth it, i was only considering a deeper first gear because my 4x4 is 3.07 axle and the extra pulling torque from the 400sb would be great to have
i checked prices and wow this rebuild would cost wayyyyyy too much
a converter is over 100
a kit is over 100 and doesnt evne come with needed parts such as bushings and VB stuff
a pump is over 100
this is just too much
it would cost hundreds and hundreds
and taking it to a shop wouldnt do any good if i only wanted to spend 250 or so because i dont see them doing very much of a rebuild job for that cheap, i dont see shops doing full rebuilds for under at least 5 or 600 bucks minimum, with all the parts that have to be removed and replaced to do it right
are there billions of half done tranny rebuilds performed all the time ? am i missing something here ?
i am so confused.
i cant justify spending so much for just a basic rebuild, in which it looks like it would cost, just on my own, heck you can buy a whole TCI built up TH350 tranny for 625 bucks, so i mean... dang.. but id have to swap my 4x4 outut shaft into it.... sigh...
if i could find all my parts for around 250 or so then id do it myself
but that doesnt seem to be possible, unless i skimped on the converter and pump and so forth and didnt replace them and dint get a shift improver kit, or anything else either,
and if i do it myself or have it done then i would not want to skimp out on old worn out stuff such as these in which are VERY important components.
what does a person do ???
mine runs fine but its old and third gear is real weak and i dont know crap about the internals of these things, but im really mechanically inclined, i can put bottom ends in engines all day long i can disassemble and reassemble cars and trucks all day long, i can R and R rear axle internals just enough to get by, ive just about done it all, but not trannies,
what would you do if you were in my shoes ? am i the only one in this dilemma ? i cant possibly be,, surely i am not, its too bad that ppl on forums dont speak up much, especially about their personal experiences . hmm.
dont want a half *ssed tranny job, whether i perform it myself or not.. but i cant justify the costs, at all..
whats funny is that my stepdad had the th350 in his 82 k-10 rebuilt by a local trans repair guy jut before he closed shop and moved out of town, he only spent 250 bucks and he didnt do anything to the converter, this was about 3.5 years ago, it has been perfect no problem at all, i dont se any way in hell that he could have done much of a rebuild for only 250 bucks,, i dont see how it can be possible, but that guy really knew his stuff, he had a tons of business at all times and was a tranny genius, but he was tired of it and quit and sold off everyhging to do something new, detailing cars i believe, with his brother, which i found to be insane, you should have seen all the billions of tranny parts he gave me to take the shredder, it was 4,440lbs of it, i still have the scrap yard ticket from that day, i probably took in thousands of dollars worth of tranny parts, took the whole shop to the shredder, there hasnt been a tranny guy in this town since,
its crazy....
i appreciate

The $100 trans kit wouldn't contain a valve body kit, hardened sprag race, complete bushing kit, complete thrust kit, etc.
You can make your own valve body mods using the methods I covered in the post on NastyZ28.
You can rebuild your own pump unless it is damaged and save that.
I prefer to always replace the converter on a worn trans. On racing transmissions that are in good working condition but getting a yearly overhaul, we re-use the converters unless we find something suspect.
I charge over $250 labor to do a basic street strip Th350. It just isn't worth my time to mess with them if I can't make any money for my trouble. I also replace many parts and do labor operations that a normal transmission shop probably doesn't do.
You'll probably spend at least $300 on parts to do it yourself but if you take your time, you can get a quality rebuild that will last a long time.
I am speaking of a normal trans shop building a Th350 for $250-350 dollars... You know as well as I that that isnt going to be a quality job. The parts would likely cost even a high volume trans shop more than half that.
My overhead is low as my shop and tools are completely paid for. I only have to pay for my electric.
Most trans shops probably dont machine apply pistons, pressure plates, etc.
Im not suggesting that a quality trans hsop doesnt do good work, just that it doesnt come cheap.
350 rebuild ?????
Jakeshoe... IMO ,You gave enough info to take the ball and run with it
I asked local shops about the mods and they said it would be 150.00 bucks extra.
Basic rebuild in Tacoma,Wa for TH-350 is 249.99 plus 8.9 %tax
with mods Jakeshoe mentioned is 399.99 plus 8.9 % tax
TH-350 Converters cost 99.00 plus tax here
Prices are fair for the time involved.
I called four area shops
These were the cheapest
Some wanted more.
Between 11 and 1500 here for a rebuild.
700's are 1700
4L60E are 2000 unless you want a cooler installed, then it's 2500.
I can't imagine that cost of living is that much different.
We also have 6 tranny shops in a town of 100,000.
I did my 350 last year with all Transtar parts and had LESS then 250 including converter, hardened sprag, one drum, full master kit, rebuilt pump, shift kit, filter and a few other minor upgrades. Still working perfectly. I used whatever I could find for bushing drivers: sockets, wheel bearing race drivers, you name it. Made a low/reverse compressor with some all thread the a piece of 3/4" by 1" Oak to span the retainer. A pain, but it worked. Did not have to buy one tool, but it was a chore at times too.

A pound-it-out running game and tough
defense. It's probably cliché to proclaim that the win
over Baylor looked like "old-school" Nebraska. But, then
again, there's something to clichés: occasionally they're
Peterson's touchdown was a fantastic catch.
Nunn made some exceptional catches, including a one-handed grab that
was one of the best I've seen from a Husker receiver in some
time. (Aside: I hope Nunn isn't done returning punts.) All the
running backs looked pretty good. Lucky keeps getting closer and closer
to breaking one. Taylor is becoming particularly adept and tucking
it in and running at opportune times. Bottom line, we beat Baylor
because our guys made plays.
On defense, I should comment on the game Grixby played,
since I've been worried about him in the past. He had a gorgeous
interception to kill Baylor's opening drive…which was
promptly taken away by the officials. His punt returns were good.
He had the kind of pass breakups in this game that no Husker corner
has had all year (great, tight coverage). His fumble recovery late
in the game did come off a play where the receiver had beaten him.
But overall, at least for one game, he looked like the real deal.
Bowman's interception not only came from good
coverage, but it was a great catch. Turner played particularly well.
Smith also looked good. Ickes was solid in Bradley's place.
I hope he continues to play with a motor on him, a la the guy who
saved the day against Pitt.
Not that Baylor should be a benchmark game or anything,
but I feel better at this point this year than I did after the same
game last year, even though we won by fewer points this past weekend.
Baylor is a considerably better squad this season. And we went in
there and ground out a win on the road, against about as large and
"hostile" a crowd as Baylor can offer up. The touchdown
drive to start the second half was top-notch and showed character.
As juiced as Baylor's crowd was, Missouri's
will be another level up. The crowd in Columbia will be insane, especially
if the game is close. A colleague of mine, Greg, who hails from Missouri,
has assured me of as much. He's been trash-talking for days:
"Brad Smith this, Brad Smith that…" blah, blah,
blah. I find myself really hoping I can gloat later. (Here I am...putting
myself above the program. Pitiful, I know.)
Both the Huskers and the Tigers had to go to OT to
beat Iowa St. on their home fields. I think our team is slightly better,
but the wildcard is Smith. Will he even play? If he does, will he
play like the turnover-prone QB he has been in tough games this year?
Or, will we get the Smith of 2003? The Blackshirts have faced Smith
three times, holding him in check in two of the three outings.
We need to make it three of four if this season is
to be something special, rather than just a little bit better than
last year.

When the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a new rule in 2005 requiring businesses to properly dispose of and destroy sensitive consumer data, security experts considered it an important step forward in the fight against consumer fraud and identity theft.
The new rule was the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. Better known as FACTA, it made sense then... and it makes sense now.
As Robert Johnson, long-time executive director of the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) said in a statement: "Shredding documents and properly destroying computer files and hard drives will help ensure that records containing sensitive personal and financial information don't fall into the wrong hands."
Identity theft is the top consumer complaint in the FTC's national ranking of consumer complaints. The Commission received more than two million complaints overall in 2013 with 14% being identity theft related.
According to Javelin's 2014 Identity Fraud Report, the number of identity fraud victims in America in 2013 climbed to 13.1 million, an increase of 500,000 compared to 2012.
FACTA is actually an amendment to the Fair Credit Reporting Act to allow consumers to obtain a copy of their credit reports every year and to provide tools to help reduce identity theft.
The disposal rule section says that all companies or individuals who collect sensitive consumer information from a consumer report for a business purpose must properly destroy that information when it is no longer needed. The goal is to reduce the risk of dumpster divers finding discarded business records and using that information for identity theft.
Here is what businesses need to know:

We did a piece on DeAngelo Hall last week about how he was optimistic about the Redskins making the playoffs. We also said he was volatile, and on Tuesday he was just that. Hall lashed out at Washington Post beat writer Mike Jones for some comments he made in an article. Hall had to be restrained by the DBs coach Raheem Morris as he and Jones had a heated, profanity-laced shouting match. It happened in the hallway outside the Redskins Park locker room, and at least a dozen reporters witnessed the exchange. The dispute began last Thursday when reporters asked Hall about the $30,000 fine the NFL gave him for his referee confrontation. He yelled, "Back up off me, bro," and would not comment. Hall disputed a quote that Jones attributed to him, and on Tuesday, Jones approached him with the audio tape of his quote, Rich Campbell of the Washington Post reported, and that's when all hell broke loose. "I didn't talk to y'all about that," Hall said Thursday. "I don't know where that quote came from. I never had a one-on-one meeting with nobody. I don't know who asked that question or who reported – I think Mike [Jones] reported on it. I ain't never had no one-on-one meeting with nobody over the bye week. We had a team meeting Tuesday. I left Tuesday to go out of town." Here's an excerpt from the article in question, it is the only exchange of information between the two written. Jones wrote: "Cornerback DeAngelo Hall said he and his fellow defensive backs came away from an improved sense of clarity and idea of what they need to do to improve." Hall said: "Hopefully you'll see it. Hopefully you'll see it this week," Hall had said on Wednesday. "You'll see it through the rest of this season." What that means we don't know, but it meant something enough for a verbal shouting match. "They discussed this matter, and everything is worked out now," team spokesman Tony Wyllie said. var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Wiz Khalifa is donning a new business hat. The rapper is launching a new clothing line called FRESHKO.
The brand -- which is available online beginning today -- is a joint venture with Wiz's fellow Taylor Gang cohort Berner as well as fashion designer Sketch. Wiz, Berner and Sketch will be on hand to showcase the line's 150 pieces at the clothing store Tradition in Los Angeles' Beverly Center today at 4:00 p.m. Pacific.
FRESHKO's website describes the brand's style as "smooth, timeless, relevant" and "universal." The line has its roots in graffiti, music and art -- which Wiz says are all skills people use to express themselves. For more information visit Freshkolife.com.

Thanks for taking interest in our family and property. I am a very proud mother of two very awesome girls. I've been fortunate to work for an awesome software company, while telecommuting from home. It's not for everybody but it works for me and affords me the option to work from anywhere provided I am on the grid
My other passion includes, natural foods, photography and circus arts. I have taught hoops and fire eating/spinning for the past 7 years. Additionally I train in Aerial Silks, Lyra and Competitive pole. It's a family affair. My oldest daughter also performs and trains in aerial arts when she's not in school or playing with our youngest. Chris has been in the entertainment industry for his entire professional career.. so it works. :)
Though we spend most of our time in our Tennessee house, our Louisville house will always be home.

Chateau Montelena Napa Valley Chardonnay 2011
Chardonnay from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
Typically the Chardonnay has a concentrated floral, green apple aroma and a refreshing and persistent impression on the palate.
Critical Acclaim
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "The 2011 Chardonnay appears to have more richness and body than the 2010, which is counterintuitive considering the cool year, but in 2011 Bo Barrett and his team had to wait until the end of October for this fruit to fully ripen, which, needless to say, is highly unusual. The characteristic Montelena Chardonnay aromas and flavors come through, but in a slightly richer style than normal. Hints of lemon oil, crushed rocks and flowers meld together beautifully on the resonant finish. Barrett adds that the 2011 was the first wine made in the new cellar, which is set up to handle small-lot fermentations. Whatever the reasons, the 2011 is striking in every way. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025."
International Wine Cellar - "Bright, pale lemon-yellow. Crisp aromas of apple, citrus peel and white peppery, along with a light metallic quality. The palate offers bracing lemon zest and grapefruit pith flavors and strong acidity yet comes across as silky and tactile at the same time. Cool and spicy, but with a surprisingly glyceral quality for the year. The youthfully edgy finish suggests that this wine will need serious patience.
Rating: 90(+?)"
Chateau Montelena Winery
Chateau Montelena was founded in 1882 by Alfred Tubbs. The renaissance of the winery, under the leadership of James Barrett, began in 1972 with the replanting of the Estate vineyard and the establishment of the Chateau Montelena philosophy: make the best, period. Today the tradition continues. Jim Barrett's son, Bo, winemaker at Chateau Montelena beginning in 1982, is now its Master Winemaker. After more than three decades of experience with the same vineyards and varieties, the Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and Napa Valley Chardonnay are recognized as world-class.

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Deep yellow in color and refreshing. I don't drink much white wine but this chardonnay makes me think twice.maylan007 - Franklin Square, NY312/29/2013
Tried this 2011 version because I had absolutely fallen in love with the 2010 version of this wine. Note - they're completely different! This wine slapped me in the face when I took the first sip because I was awaiting that buttery soft 2010 wine to roll down my throat, but like the professional 90 pinot review says, this wine is younger and more crisp. Bottom line is, it's a great Chardonnay but it resembles a regular one and not a unique and exquisite one, like its 2010 brother. This wine is fresh, crisp, young and playful.

Up for sale is my 1990 Coupe Quattro. I purchased this car through this same forum in September of 2009. Since then, I have added 6,134 miles to the odometer and have maintained it well. However, it will need quite a bit of time and patience in the future. Because the car lived in the North Shore before I purchased it, many of the lines, bushings, and mountings will have to be replaced underneath. It also has other relatively minor (in comparison) issues which will need to be addressed in order to restore it properly. That said, it does run well, feels terrific to drive, and is currently registered (I just drove it to western Connecticut and back two weeks ago). I have just purchased a 2000 A4 2.8, and I don't have the space or funds to keep two cars only for myself.
The car has Bilstein shocks (an upgrade by the previous owner) and handles beautifully. A friend (with a 911) once remarked that he was barely able to keep up with me on a highway on-ramp. It was early spring, and I still had the snow tires on the car, at the time. I was never able to reach its limits.
By the way, it does come with an extra set of identical factory wheels, with mounted snow tires. The car is amazing in the snow. I once drove through a blizzard in this car. It was fun.
The interior could use a vacuum. Note that the red wire in the foot well is just leftover junk from my stereo installation (I should have removed it before taking the pictures). The object on top of the ashtray is the microphone for the bluetooth phone function.
I'm not certain if the new Blaupunkt stereo will come with the car. I still have the one was in the car before, but the CD player never worked, for me. I really like the fact that this stereo has a Bluetooth connection, which works perfectly. It also has USB and auxiliary connections. I can't put this in the new car, though - so I'm not certain what I would do with it if I didn't include it.
The climate control will require troubleshooting. The heat works (too well), but it does not regulate properly in order for the A/C to work. Otherwise, I have no reason to believe (based upon the previous owner's understanding) that the A/C will not work.
The car has a new timing belt and the associated belts, pulleys, and waterpump (I purchased the Blauparts kit and did this myself). I do have a valve cover gasket, intake gasket, and a brand new set of (hard to find) Bosch Silver plugs. I never got around to doing that project (and the valve cover gasket isn't leaking so badly that I was terribly worried about it), but the parts will come with the car.
Cleaning up the areas next to the wheel wells is my unfinished project, which I will likely pass on to the new owner. Rust in this particular spot had created a hole, and I lost the trim piece because of it. It became obvious to me that I needed (for the health of the body) to remove the rust and patch up the hole. I did not use any Bondo. Underneath the primer is an aluminum plate which I shaped to fit the contour. Before affixing this plate, I sprayed the entire area liberally with rust-inhibiting paint. It may need a bit more primer and sanding before it is ready to be painted. It looks rough now, but I believe that it will look great when complete. I just paid over $100 for the spray cans of paint (there is a base and a clear coat bottle) and a replacement trim piece. Both of these items will, of course, come with the car. Or the new owner may decide to go to a body shop, instead.
Maaco did a really beautiful job replacing the hood (which was rusted and missing the latch when I bought the car), and painted some or both of the fenders to match properly (I gave them the paint code). The new (used) hood was rust-free when it arrived (I inspected it before they started the work), and they stripped it completely and painted it.
I also should mention that the car just had a full brake job (pads and rotors), and that one front caliper was also replaced (it was sticking). This was done by Foreign Auto in Cambridge, who also did most of my oil changes. I had the speedometer sensor replaced (the mileage wasn't affected, since it actually cut out when I was 100 feet from the same shop). I replaced all three bulbs in the auxiliary gauges, myself. It has a current (August) inspection sticker, and I am not aware of anything on the car which would not pass Mass. inspection currently.
I purchased the e-Bahn Bentley manual (the printed version seems impossible to find). I assume that we would be able to transfer the registration without too much difficulty. Note that it is PC-only (I purchased Microsoft Virtual PC just to run it on my Mac). I also tediously exported PDF files of every page with the exception of wiring diagrams - just to be able to read and print it (but please do not ask me to give these to you unless you buy the car - Bentley may be a bit unfriendly, but I believe in respecting intellectual copyright laws).
I like my new (to me) A4. It's very quiet and pleasant, and the 2.8 has plenty of power; but I will really miss the cornering ability of the coupe. And even more-so I will miss the magical noise that the 20V five makes. I wish that I could keep the car, and possibly work on restoring the underbody components some day, myself. But I just don't have the space, and I can't really afford to insure two cars. It's kind of weird to think about how much time and money I have put into this car in the past few years. It makes me sad to have to let it go.
I hope to sell this to the right owner, who has the time and patience to restore the car. I would be hesitant to sell the car to a buyer if I suspect that he/she would be buying it for parts. It is simply too good for that (and too rare).
All pictures can be found at the following link:
I am asking $2500 or your best offer. Please let me know if you are interested. I am hoping that someone will be able to come look at the car this weekend. You can send me an e-mail at (with spaces removed) j o h n z i n @ g h o s t i m a g e . n e t (sorry for the spam paranoia). Please leave a phone number. Or you can call me at (standard Boston area code) 767-9217. Hopefully you are local, so it will be easy for you to come take a look at the car.
Thanks for looking.

The old batting average hasn't been so good for the Trib's senior scribe in prognosticating Oregon State games this season.
I've missed the last two weeks, picking OSU to lose to Arizona and to beat a Brigham Young team I underrated (BYU will finish at 9-3 with its soft schedule).
The Beavers go from Cougars to Cougars, facing a Washington State team that will take Seattle's CenturyLink Field Saturday night fully expecting to win. I notice that Spokane Spokesman-Review beat writer Vince Grippi agrees and sees it as a rout, picking WSU 42-21.
Jeff Tuel is back in the saddle, and the 6-3, 225-pound junior gives the Cougs a two-way threat at quarterback. That's never good news for an OSU defense that tackles running QBs like greased pigs.
The Beaver D is thin as Chaz Bono's beard right now, with more injuries than a tarmac after a jet crash. Can coordinator Mark Banker cobble together enough bodies to slow down a WSU offense that averages 36.2 points and 453.3 yards per game?
Oregon State's offense could be ready to come together Saturday if Malcolm Agnew's troublesome hamstring holds together. The passing game, with Sean Mannion at the controls, has been solid, and I'm thinking Joe Halahuni and James Rodgers could both be ready for a breakout game.
This one might be a wild one. I'll go with a hunch, but don't bet the Maserati on it.
THE PICK: Oregon State 34, Washington State 30

The CIA's Secret Heart Attack Gun
A CIA secret weapon used for assassination shoots a small poison dart to cause a heart attack, as explained in Congressional testimony in the video. The dart from this secret CIA weapon can penetrate clothing and leave nothing but a tiny red dot on the skin. On penetration of the deadly dart, the individual targeted for assassination may feel as if bitten by a mosquito, or they may not feel anything at all. The poisonous dart completely disintegrates upon entering the target. The lethal poison then rapidly enters the bloodstream causing a heart attack. Once the damage is done, the poison denatures quickly, so that an autopsy is very unlikely to detect that the heart attack resulted from anything other than natural causes. Sounds like the perfect James Bond weapon, doesn't it? Yet this is all verifiable in Congressional testimony. The astonishing information about this secret weapon of the CIA comes from U.S. Senate testimony in 1975 on rogue activities of the CIA. This weapon is only one of many James Bond-like discoveries of the Church Committee hearings, officially known as the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence activities.

KInda late on this one. The Russians had a similar tool several years ago and used it to kill a diplomat in London. It was administered thru a cane. Believe it or not?

It looked like the late GOP icon Arizona senator Goldwater was chuckling and saying, "Hell, there are some Democrats I'd like to use this CIA gun on..." Heh, heh.

The cane weapon left a metal spherical projectile, though, right?

The assassination was with an umbrella using a tiny metal bearing containing polonium. Polonium is traceable but lethal. The killer bumped the target and implanted the bearing.

Would this be an effective way to program the HSC08 chip on the new Xbee-Pro ZB Programmable boards? They're my new front runners for my first real microcontoller project. Would the codewarrior suite program through the explorer board, or am I better off wiring up a BDM unit?

Paul Gibson writes..(my favourite one!!!)
I would like to thank Dr Les Bailey for probably saving my life, some years back when I was in my early twenties I damaged my neck and back curb laying, I spent thousands on so called professionals over many years to no avail, one day a friends father suggested I go and see a Mr Les Bailey, I gave him a go, but I thought what can he do where others failed! Well the man is a genius not only did he cure me he also picked up on a neurological abnormality which GP's had missed, this lead to brain surgery that saved my life. Dr Les Bailey has become a close personal friend who I will always be indebted to. Thank you Les. Paul Gibson
Andy from Carshalton writes...
Working in the car industry for over 20 years, plus a couple of serious car crashes, it's fair to say I've needed the odd adjustment here and there!
My regular osteopath had recently retired and I was I need of assistance! Feeling in pain and with no where to turn, I came home after work one day and quickly found a local guy, Dr Les Bailey.
After a few visits I was back on track, but that wasn't all… we share an interest in exercise and gym fitness and the expert advise he's given me on how to strengthen my core has helped me the most.
Josephine Cattanach writes..
Following a high speed car accident a few years ago I was advised by my doctor to visit an osteopath for my whiplash and chest injuries. I visited Dr Les Bailey who is based in Woodmansterne, Banstead to receive manipulation to my injuries. Having never had osteopathy treatment I was sceptical to say the least, I shuffled in with a rigid collar for my neck. By the time I left 40 minutes later I had a lot less pain and a whole lot more movement in my neck area. Throughout my treatment with Dr Les Bailey he was friendly and professional and put me at ease. I was impressed with the results and continued with a course of treatment. In the following years I visit Dr Les Bailey for further unrelated treatments including Orthotics and acupuncture. I would recommend Les Bailey to anyone needing to seek help with bone, soft tissue and skeletal problems, you will meet a kind, understanding and professional man who's services are affordable, and give good results. Many thanks Josephine Catanach
Mark from Buckinghamshire writes..
Dr Les Bailey of Woodmansterne treated me for an ongoing problem i had with my knee . I had previously had physio thereapy via the NHS , which had not helped .
Dr Bailey initially used Ultrasound and Laser treatment . It was when he used accupuncture that i could feel the benefits . Within 3 or so treatments , i was no longer in pain and, have been pretty much pain free ever since ! This would be over ten years now .
I would like to thank Dr Bailey for giving me my walking life back .

This book, which has been officially adopted by the Samba Team and is under the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL), is a comprehensive guide to Samba administration. The 2nd edition focuses on Samba 2.2 and covers the most important features of 3.0, which was under development as this book went to print.Samba is a cross-platform triumph: it turns a Unix or Linux system into a file and print server for Microsoft Windows network clients. Samba is so robust, flexible, fast, and secure that many people are choosing it over Windows NT/2000/XP for their file and print services. Samba is also free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License.This book will help you make file and print sharing as robust, powerful, and efficient as possible. The authors delve into the internals of the Windows activities and protocols to an unprecedented degree, explaining the strengths and weaknesses of each feature in Windows domains and in Samba itself.Using Samba takes you from basic installation and configuration--on both the client and server side, for a wide range of systems--to subtle details of security, cross-platform compatibility, and resource discovery that make the difference between whether a user sees the folder they expect or a cryptic error message.The range of this book knows few bounds. Wondering how to integrate Samba's authentication with that of a Windows PDC? How to get Samba to serve Microsoft Dfs shares? How to share files on Mac OS X? These and a dozen other issues of interest to system administrators are covered. A whole chapter is dedicated to troubleshooting.Whether you're playing on one note or a full three-octave range, on your personal computer or an enterprise network, Using Samba will give you an efficient and secure server.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Using Samba, Second Edition, is an African ground hornbill (Bucorvus cafer). This type of bird is one of 50 hornbill species. The African ground hornbill is a medium-to large-size bird characterized by a bright red wattle under a very long beak, dark-colored body and wings, long eyelashes, and short legs. Like all hornbills, it has a casque, a large but lightweight growth on the top of its beak, which grows more folds as the bird ages. It is the only ground-dwelling species of hornbill, though it is able to fly when necessary. It lives in the grasslands of Southern and Eastern Africa and nests in the foliage of dense trees, not in nest holes in the ground as other hornbills do. Its diet includes mostly fruit, as well as large insects and small mammals. The African ground hornbill is considered to be sacred by many Africans, and as such, this bird is part of many legends and superstitions. Darren Kelly was the production editor, Jeffrey Holcomb was the copyeditor, and Audrey Doyle was the proofreader for Using Samba, Second Edition.

Using Samba, 2nd Edition Review
By ckjmaner
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Using Samba, 2nd Edition:
I own and have extensively used the original Using Samba edition by O'Reilly and find it nothing short of helpful, useful, right and a great reference. I recommend this book at the original did not touch on WinXP. (Although, arguably, WinXP setup is little different albeit a little different look/feel.) Nonetheless, Samba 2.2.x was not out at the time of the original Using Samba and Using Samba 2nd Ed. addresses Samba 2.2.x. Good and recommended read.

Excellent book, for someone who knew nothing about SAMBA this book "took me by the hand" and walked me thru installation all the way thru securing the network.I've enjoyed running Linux but never enjoyed having to swap files over CD's or floppies and this tool made all that go away.Well written and easily understood.

IndespensibleAs a Windows user in a 12-step recovery plan, I had a lot to learn how real computing was done. Getting my Linux Box to work and play well with my other Windows box has proven to be the toughest part of the transition. Given my lack of experience in this realm, my transformation from Windows guy to Linux guy would simply not have been possible. My only criticism is pretty minor. I use the Red Hat 9 distribution, so some of the directories where daemons and files are located are different. A bit of digging resolves any questions. While there are a bazillion different Linux/Samba distributions, I submit that Red Hat is a big enough player that merits a bit more real estate for users. But back to the core message. This book is Definitive

Using Samba, second Edition, is comprehensive, concise, and generally what one would expect from Oreilly, quality documentation. As a Unix person, this book was extremely helpful in making clear a subject that Microsoft seems to have taken great pains to obscure - SMB.In response to the first reviewer, I could churn my own butter or make my own ketchup, but I don't. Others do it better than I and so I will continue to buy good documentation. Great book, I recommend it without reservation.Chad Beers

I wanted to reply to the comments of the preceding anonymous poster, who asked why we would publish a printed copy of documentation that is available for free online as the official documentation of the Samba project. Clearly the poster hasn't done his homework. We hired and paid people to write the book, and donated it to the Samba project as its official documentation. We had the cooperation of the core team to be sure, but without the efforts and funding of O'Reilly (including a substantial amount of time from one of our staff writers), this book wouldn't exist. Even without that fact, though, there are many good reasons for printing and selling nicely bound copies of books that are available online.In any event, anonymous, I think you owe us an apology.

The Politics Hour – June 23, 2017
D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham discusses the ACLU lawsuit against MPD officers for their actions during Inauguration Day protests. And Democratic candidate for Maryland Governor Alec Ross is in studio.
The Supreme Court on Monday ordered a lower court to reconsider a case examining the role of race in university admissions. It's a case that, in the long run, could have a dramatic effect on education systems throughout the country. Kojo connects with experts to examine the practical impact of today's ruling.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIFrom WAMU 88.5 at American University in Washington, welcome to "The Kojo Nnamdi Show," connecting your neighborhood with the world. Later in the broadcast: the past, present and future of D.C.'s public library system. We'll conduct an exit interview with outgoing chief librarian Ginnie Cooper. But first, the Supreme Court and the role of race in university admissions.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIThe highest court in America, on Monday, ordered a lower court to reconsider the affirmative action case Fisher v. the University of Texas. The justices' ruling seven to one that the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals did not use strict legal scrutiny when it assessed and upheld the admission program at Texas in its earlier ruling, leaving many questions open about the future use of race as a factor in admissions programs across the country.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIJoining us to sort through the practical impact of today's Supreme Court action and ponder the questions both answered and left open is Sheryll Cashin. She is a professor at Georgetown University Law Center. She joins us by phone. Sheryll Cashin, thank you for joining us.
PROF. SHERYLL CASHINThank you for having me.
NNAMDIAnd Shannon Gundy is director of undergraduate admissions at the University of Maryland. Shannon Gundy also joins us by phone. Thank you.
MS. SHANNON GUNDYThank you. It's a pleasure to be with you.
NNAMDIYou too can join the conversation. Call us at 800-433-8850. What role do you think race and diversity should play in college admissions? 800-433-8850. You can also send email to firstname.lastname@example.com, or shoot us a tweet, @kojoshow. Sheryll Cashin, the court ruled today that a lower court's ruling in this affirmative action case has been vacated and remanded. For those of us who are not lawyers, what does this mean in practical terms?
CASHINIt means the court has to do it again under the direction of the court. The court has basically clarified what the constitution requires. The universities have a compelling interest in pursuing diversity. But when -- if they use race, they have to do that subject to the standard called narrow tailoring. And Justice Kennedy, in his opinion, made it clear that the court will give deference to the universities on -- sure, they'll say, you know, we will defer to you on the educational benefits of diversity.
CASHINWe take it -- we take your word on the idea that students get the benefits from being in a diverse classroom, but it's the judges, not the university, who gets to decide whether or not race was absolutely necessary. And he made it clear that the standard is it must be necessary and operative "from the case" -- I have it here -- is -- well, I can't find it. Anyway…
NNAMDIStrict legal scrutiny?
CASHINNo, it's not. The...
GUNDYThe Grutter v. Bollinger case?
CASHINNo, no. The language from the court is -- here it is. The court must be satisfied that there are "no workable race-neutral alternatives" to achieve the educational benefits of diversity. So what that means is if any litigant, like Abigail Fisher, sues -- or actually we'll just stick with the UT case. The court, on remand, has to look at the record and UT has to prove to the court that there are no workable race-neutral alternatives. And it's going to be -- it may be difficult for them to meet that standard given that they have Texas 10 percent plan, which is race neutral. And they got some diversity so...
NNAMDIWell, what does strict legal scrutiny mean? I used it earlier apparently incorrectly. What is the standard that the Supreme Court says the lower court failed to meet in its previous ruling?
CASHINThe have to show that the plan that they used and the way in which race was used was narrowly tailored, i.e., there is no workable race-neutral alternative to get the educational benefits of diversity. The court -- there are five votes on the court for the proposition that it's OK to pursue diversity, that -- that's a compelling interest that universities can pursue that. But the way they go about it, if they're going to race, there has to be no other non-racial way to get the -- to get enough diversity to get educational benefits. Does that make sense?
NNAMDIWhat happen -- Yeah, it does. What happens now that this matter is back before a lower court? What's the process we follow from here?
CASHINI believe it's going to go back to the Fifth Circuit, and the Fifth Circuit -- the Court of Appeals will make a decision about whether they can apply the standard based on the record before it or whether they have to throw it all the way back to the lower court and retry that question. I suspect the Fifth Circuit will take the record it has and apply the standard. The standard is fairly strict, and it'll, frankly, I think -- think about it.
CASHINIt's a very subjective standard. Was there no workable race-neutral way to get the educational benefits of diversity? I think it will heavily depend on the predilections and perhaps the ideological leanings of the court that -- of the justices that are applying the standard below. I think it's going to be very difficult.
NNAMDISheryll Cashin, she's a professor at Georgetown University Law Center. She joins us by phone as does Shannon Gundy, director of undergraduate programs at the University of Maryland. You too can join us by phone. Call us at 800-433-8850. Would you approve of a system like the one in Texas that grants automatic admission to the University of Texas for anyone who finishes in a certain percentile of their high school class? Why or why not?
NNAMDIShannon Gundy, as someone who's running an admissions program yourself, what were the pieces of this case that you were following the most closely and, I guess, what were the biggest questions that have been answered for you and left unanswered by what the court did today?
GUNDYI'll start with the second part of your question first. I think there are still a lot of questions unanswered. The good news for those of us who are following the case pretty closely is that the law of the land that came about with the earlier Supreme Court ruling remains in place. So, you know, as long as we are running processes which are meeting the requirements that were outlined in that law, we can still consider race as one factor among many when we're using a holistic application review process.
GUNDYAnd I think that that is something that makes us very pleased. It is -- it's difficult to do. It's a complex process. But it's something that affirms the mission of the university, and it helps us to do what we've been charged with doing.
NNAMDIFrom a philosophical perspective, do you and your colleagues at Maryland approach admissions under the principle of the diversity itself is a compelling interest of the university?
GUNDYAbsolutely. We've done some research to find out, you know, what are the educational benefits of diversity? We found that students sitting in a classroom with people that are different from them in a wide number of factors, including racially different, learn better. And their -- the conversations are more robust. The perspectives that students are bringing to the table are more sound and more rounded out. And it's a part of the mission of the university. So my job in the admissions office, really, is to work to meet the mission of the University of Maryland.
NNAMDIHere is Amadeo in Washington, D.C. Amadeo, you're on the air. Go ahead, please.
AMADEOHi, Kojo. Thank you so much. I'm a 20-year-old college student from Washington, D.C. going to school at the University of Maine. And I'm appalled, actually, sometimes by how little interaction some of the kids up there have with anybody from another culture other than white middle-class America.
AMADEOI think it's severely important that schools be more culturally diverse like that in such a small world. And I was wondering if there were any ways that schools are already preparing to have maybe quotas for different, you know, cultures coming into the schools, place people from different parts of America and so on and so forth.
NNAMDIThe word quota is a no-no. But, Shannon Grundy, would you care to respond to Amadeo if places like -- places where he's going to school should be making efforts to make sure that there is greater diversity.
GUNDYWell, my personal belief is that diversity is exceptionally important. You know, if you're sitting in the classroom with people who look like you, who talk like you, who think like you, who have the same experiences, you're not really stretched to learn as much as you possibly could if you have people who have different opinions. So I absolutely think that that is something that's definitely important.
GUNDYIt's also important to know, though, that each institution have its own mission and is working towards its own goals. The University of Maryland has a part of its mission statement that diversity is a core value, and it's really key to us achieving our mission and strategic goals. That's not the case at every institution. My personal belief is that that's something that should be considered. But each institution does decide on its own the things that are important to it.
NNAMDISheryll Cashin, Abigail Fisher, a white student, sued the University of Texas after she was denied admission in 2008. What were the specific cases that her lawyers were making against the system that the University of Texas had in place?
CASHINThe specific arguments they were making?
CASHINWell, essentially they were -- their argument came down to basically what Abigail Fisher said in her own video. It was very similar to the arguments her lawyers put in her brief, that she felt that other students who had qualifications that were very similar to hers and they got in and she didn't, and her view was that the only reason she didn't get in was because of the color of her skin and that was both unfair and unconstitutional.
CASHINNow, it is the case that it came out in the evidence that 42 white students with lower test scores and grades than Abigail Fisher got into UT. But the fact that there were five or six, a handful of people -- students of color that also had lower test scores than her that got in, she focused on race and viewed her race as having been the problem. I don't think that it was. I think that she probably just wasn't as competitive as other students. But that's part of the problem with race as a plus factor.
CASHINIt's necessary in a lot of ways to create a diverse classroom, but it also upsets students like Abigail Fisher. And there're a lot of people in American society who are uncomfortable with the consideration of race, and therefore, justices on the Supreme Court, if they could've convinced Justice Kennedy, who would like to say the state should never be able to consider race.
NNAMDII think Wanda in Washington, D.C. wanted to underscore your point. Did you, Wanda?
WANDAYes, absolutely. And I beg forgiveness for this, but this was just discussed on "The Diane Rehm Show" and no one -- absolutely no one -- knew about the fact that there white students who were not as academically strong as this particular person who got into the school and that -- I just find the reporting in the discussions to not include that. That's -- there's no excuse for that.
NNAMDIWell, Sheryll Cashin certainly included it. And, of course...
WANDAShe did.
GUNDYAnd if I could interject here, you know, part of the...
NNAMDIShannon Gundy.
GUNDYPart of the problem, I think, is that the SAT scores and ACT standardized tests have been out there for a while. And because it is a concrete objective number, I think for over time, so many people have culturally kind of come to accept an SAT score as merit. And I think if anything comes out of this debate, I hope that we will begin to interrogate that kind of question.
GUNDY'Cause, really, the only thing a standardized test score predicts, I mean, directly is the socioeconomic background of the parents, of the person taking the test. And I think -- I hope that this whole debate about affirmative action will get both people generally and admissions offices to look at admission practices and scrub away and get rid of practices that are exclusionary and really don't help discern which of this applicant pool comes closest to our mission.
GUNDYAnd there are studies that show that in the past, affirmative action candidates, even though they may have lower test scores, tend to be the ones that come closest to the professed missions of universities. They tend to say, you know, all universities say they want leaders that are going to give back to their community and, you know, those kinds of things.
NNAMDIOK. Wanda, thank you very much for your call. Sheryll Cashin, a lot of people felt that the admission system like the one at Texas, where slots, at first, were set aside for the top 10 percent of every graduating class, but later the top 8 percent are sufficient to provide diversity. How common are admission systems like that?
CASHINWell, there are eight states today that are operating under a ban of affirmative action that was adopted through politics. And California has one of the oldest. And in a number of those states, Texas, California -- I'm not sure -- Florida, those are three that come off the top of my head that have adopted some of these plans. In California, I think, is the top 9 percent and similar in Florida. I don't think that those plans are a substitute for a comprehensive, holistic admissions process that looks at a range of factors.
CASHINBut I do think the great thing about them is that they're opening up opportunity. There a lot of kids from -- let's face it -- lower-opportunity schools and neighborhoods that are getting into UT. This includes rural white kids that are getting into UT because of these plans that weren't even considered before. So I think it's a useful tool, particularly for a state if the politics is such that race has been banned from consideration.
NNAMDIHere is Rita in Columbia, Md. Rita, you're on the air. Go ahead, please.
RITAYes. Hi, Kojo. Thank you for taking my call. As a mom of a freshman at the University of Maryland, and we just went through their orientations program, I can tell you that I saw very little diversity firsthand. Maybe it was that class particularly. But looking at the freshmen profile for the University of Maryland, they have average GPA score of 4.11 and SAT score of almost 1,600. So I think it begs the diversity question about the opportunity for average kids to get into our state school. And...
NNAMDII'll have Shannon Gundy respond to that. Shannon?
GUNDYWell, the result of or the outcome of your individual orientation session does not really reflect the -- necessarily -- the diversity of the institution. Students choose the orientation sessions based on the dates that are convenient for them. So it's a case that the university is exceptionally diverse. And we are the flagship institution of the University of Maryland system.
GUNDYAnd unlike other schools in the university system, our mission is to identify the students that are the best and the brightest. We want that pool of students that are admitted to the university who are best and brightest to also be racially diverse and diverse in a number of other areas as well. It's true that the incoming students, through the University of Maryland, on average have a 4.1.
GUNDYThat's a little off-putting and a little inaccurate because it doesn't help you to understand that that's a weighted grade point average. And a typical student that's being enrolled at the university has a strong B-plus, A-minus average. In terms of the SAT scores, the middle 50 percent of our enrolling students score between 1260 and 1410 on the SAT looking only at critical reading and math.
NNAMDIRita, thank you very much for your call. Almost out of time, Sheryll Cashin. But a few years ago, in the case involving diversity, school choice and the school systems in Seattle, Wash. and Louisville, Ky., Chief Justice John Roberts said, "The best way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is stop discrimination on the basis of race." How do you think this informs what people can expect from this court and from Roberts as they continue to look at issues like affirmative action in the future?
CASHINWell, under the current compasses and of the court, Justice Kennedy, he did sign on to that opinion you just cited. He's in the middle, and he has made it clear today that he does not think that affirmative action is inherently suspect, inherently discrimination. He is willing to allow universities to consider to use race as a plus factor so long as it can survive narrow tailoring.
CASHINAnd that, you know, universities are going to have to work harder, UT will, too, to show that they need to race in order to get a diverse classroom. And the courts are going to scrutinize that very, very coarsely. And some plans will fail, and some plans will be upheld.
NNAMDISheryll Cashin is a professor at Georgetown University Law Center. Shannon Gundy is director of undergraduate admissions at the University of Maryland. Thank you both for joining us. We're going to take a short break. When we come back, our exit interview with District of Columbia Chief Librarian Ginnie Cooper. I'm Kojo Nnamdi.
