Duke Energy Florida is planning on spending approximately $30 million to keep its oldest Crystal River coal burning plants in service through mid-2018.
Last month, Duke filed a petition with the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) to recover anticipated environmental costs from ratepayers to keep the plants running.
The two plants, CR 1 and CR 2, have been operating since the late 1960s and have been scheduled for retirement.

In September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its annual Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) Summary. There were 4,609 fatal work injuries in 2011, down slightly from 4,690 in 2010. The overall fatality rate dropped to 3.5 per 100,000 workers. Fatalities were lower in a number of major industry sectors.
Construction posted one of the largest declines, dropping by almost 7% from 774 in 2010 to 721 in 2011. This marks the fifth consecutive year of improvement. Since 2006, construction sector fatalities are down nearly 42%. The fatality rate also lowered from 9.8 per 100,000 to 8.9 per 100,000. While the industry has made significant progress in safety and injury prevention, the housing crisis and the recession are probably responsible for much of the decline.
Despite the improving trend, construction still had the second most fatalities of any industry. Only transportation and warehousing had more, and not by much. Slips and falls were the leading cause of death on construction sites. 254 (35%) of construction fatalities occurred as a result of falls, compared to 14% across all industries combined. The CFOI divides the construction industry into several segments and contractor subgroups. Predictably, roofers had the most fatal falls, followed by painters, masonry contractors, and electricians. One in four fatal falls was from a height of 10 feet or less.

Taylor Swift Is 'Goin' Down' With a Fall Out Boy Cover
Taylor Swift continues to cover other artists' songs every night on her sold-out Speak Now World Tour, immortalized in her freshly-released new video 'Sparks Fly.' This week in Chicago, the country darling strummed an acoustic guitar and sang Fall Out Boy's pop punk hit, 'Sugar We're Goin' Down.'
"I listened to this my freshman year of high school. Me and my friend Abigail used to drive around to it," the young star explained — not that the Windy City citizens needed an excuse as they belted out lyrics along with Taylor, nearly drowning out her soft singing with emphatic half-shouts.
So far on her current headlining tour, Taylor has sang a version of her fellow Pennsylvania native Pink's 'Who Knew,' rapped Eminem's 'Lose Yourself,' crooned Justin Bieber's 'Baby' and covered the Dixie Chicks' classic, 'Cowboy Take Me Away.'

Tech giants plead innocence to MEPs on US snooping
Executives from three of the world's biggest IT firms - Facebook, Google and Microsoft - have told MEPs they did not give US intelligence services "unfettered" access to people's private data.
Their denials came in a European Parliament hearing on the spy scandal in Brussels on Monday (11 November).

Richard Allan, Facebook's man in charge of public policy for Europe, noted that his CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has "forcefully and repeatedly rejected fake reports that Facebook has allowed unfettered access to its servers."
Google's government relations chief, Nicklas Lundblad, said: "We have not given the US government access to Google servers either directly or via a back door."
Dorothee Belz, Microsoft's European legal affairs chief, noted: "Microsoft does not give any government in the world unfettered access to customer data."
All three said intelligence services and police have subpoenaed them to look for specific information on individual suspects.
Facebook's Allan noted that in the six months ending 31 December 2012, US agencies made about 10,000 requests, while EU countries made another 10,000 or so queries.
He added that many of them concerned day-to-day matters, such as help to find missing children, instead of espionage, and that they affected "a tiny fraction of 1 percent of all Facebook accounts."
Microsoft's Belz said US authorities made about 7,000 requests in the same time period, but that 24 percent ended with her staff finding nothing to hand over.
The three firms also said they would like to reveal more on US intelligence queries, but that they are gagged by US law.
"I don't think you can expect statements from companies that break the law and put their people in jail," Belz noted.
"We know we're telling the truth," Google's Lundblud said.
The testimonies come after files leaked by US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden said the three companies, as well as Apple, AOL, PalTalk and Yahoo, routinely hand over data to the US' National Security Agency (NSA).
US subpoenas are granted by the so-called Fisa court, which operates behind closed doors and which approved 99.95 percent of warrants filed by security services between 2001 and 2012.
Snowden files also say the NSA, and its British counterpart, GCHQ, have hacked Google servers and tapped undersea cables which carry internet and phone data between America and Europe.
For their part, MEPs voiced scepticism on the IT firms' innocence.
Sophie In 't Veld, a Dutch liberal deputy, said people from the same companies told her different stories in off-the-record chats.
"You have given carefully drafted legal statements. It reminds me very much of what President Clinton said on the Lewinsky case: 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman.' It was legally correct, but it had no bearing on the truth," she noted, referring to a 1998 US sex scandal.
'Oversight cheerleaders'
MEPs on Monday also heard from a US congressman, the Republican Party's Jim Sensenbrenner, who chairs an oversight committee on homeland security.
Sensenbrenner has tabled a bill, named the USA Freedom Act, designed to curb NSA abuse.
His law would make Fisa more transparent and would create a "privacy advocate" who would give Fisa judges counterarguments to NSA requests.
But a Democratic Party senator, Dianne Feinstein, who chairs a separate committee on intelligence oversight, has tabled a law which goes in the opposite direction.
"The Feinstein bill puts what the NSA has been doing into law and says it's OK … To me, that's scary," Sensenbrenner said.
"Over time, instead of applying the brake [on spying], they [US senators] have stepped on the gas. They've become cheerleaders for whatever the intelligence agencies want," he added.
With Feinstein's bill sailing through her committee by 11 votes to four last month, Sensenbrenner noted that he is fighting "the administration, the leadership of both our parties, of Congress, and of the intelligence oversight committee," to pass his freedom act instead.
Correction: The article originally said Feinstein is a Republican. Apologies

Behind the scenes of a CNG station
Published: May 21, 2013
Article Tools
ATHENS TWP. — When a driver pulls into a mini mart for gas, there is usually a small building as well as gas pumps. The vehicle gets fueled at the pumps and the driver and passengers often will go into the building for coffee for their own refueling. That building, depending on which company owns it, will have anything from one coffee pot to a whole selection of flavors and types of brews, as well as breakfast and/or dinner menus plus a small selection of groceries.
Times are changing. At least that is so in Towanda and in Athens. Some vehicles aren't refueling on gasoline. And there are no gas pumps at the new station in Athens Township at the corner of Elmira and Pine streets. What looks like pumps there are actually dispensers, and they are dispensing compressed natural gas (CNG).
How is CNG different from gasoline? The most obvious answer is that gasoline is a liquid; CNG is just as it says -- a gas. As a fossil fuel substitute for gasoline, diesel fuel or propane gas, according to the website CNGNOW.com, CNG is much safer than other fuels because in the case of a spill, it dissipates into the air rather than pooling on the ground. Natural gas is primarily methane (CH4), which is a greenhouse gas that could contribute to global climate change if leaked. CNG is made by compressing natural gas to less than 1 percent of the normal volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure. CNG is stored in cylindrical or spherical containers at a pressure of about 2,900 – 3,600 psi or pounds per square inch. Compare this pressure to the normal average pressure in a car's tire, which is 35 to 45 psi. Compressed natural gas is colorless, odorless and tasteless. On average, it costs about 50 percent less than gasoline or diesel. Depending upon make and model of vehicles, it emits up to about 90 percent fewer emissions than gasoline.
The new Dandy Mini Mart in Athens Township is an unmanned CNG station. The concrete block building that is across the lot from the dispensers is not a mini mart. You won't be able to enter and buy a cup of coffee.
So, what actually lies behind those concrete block walls? Cody Wenzel and Adam Girardi, of Beavers Petroleum & Alternative Fuels in Horseheads, who were contracted to build the station, gave this writer a tour and explained how the system works.
According to Wenzel, there are several tanks that hold the CNG and store it and keep it dry before it makes its way across the parking lot underground through high-pressure, stainless steel tubing. The natural gas comes into the concrete block building through a large diameter, gray, metered line. Then it goes through the PSB dryer that removes any moisture from the natural gas before it enters the compressor.
The PSB dryer, which is a very large, aluminum-colored tank manufactured by PSB Industries in Erie, Pa., is filled with a type of desiccant which acts as a drying agent. A desiccant is a hygroscopic (ability of a substance to attract and hold water molecules from the surrounding environment) substance that sustains or induces a state of dryness in the area surrounding it. Wenzel explained this very well in layman's terms. The desiccants used in the PSB dryer are very similar to those little packets you often find in a shoe box when you purchase a new pair of shoes, or the packets found in a container of pills. But there are lots more desiccants in this PSB dryer than in the little packets. They both do the same job; they keep moisture out.
As Wenzel continued the tour he explained that the drying process is so important because any moisture in the gas has to be removed before the gas is compressed. He gave an example to help better understand this. Imagine 100 gallons of natural gas with 1 percent liquid in it that will be compressed down to only about a tablespoon. If the moisture isn't removed, there would be a lot of moisture in that tablespoon of gas. The gas is compressed, but the amount of moisture stays the same; unless it is removed.
After the moisture is removed, the natural gas enters the compressor, which compresses the natural gas from about 50 psi to close to 4,000 psi. According to Wenzel, this change in compression is necessary in order to quickly fill a vehicle's tank.
After being compressed, the gas flows into large white cylindrical storage containers ready for use.
From the storage containers it runs through a line that contains several filters. These filters remove particulates from the gas before it goes out to the dispensers.
The last leg of the journey for the CNG takes it out through the wall of the concrete block building through high-pressure, stainless steel tubes that run underground across the lot to the dispensers.
The dispensers operate pretty much the way gasoline pumps operate. Use a credit card and follow the directions on the dispenser. There are a few more instructions to follow, but most of them are precautions for safety.
The only thing that CNG users won't be able to do right now at this Dandy station in Athens Township is buy a cup of coffee. But perhaps they can find one down the road.

How To Buy Lingerie The Right Way
I haven't always been the lingerie type. And when I do wear lingerie, I'm picky about what kind. I have a couple fancy nightgowns, and I've got a thing for corsets, but I don't have a single matching bra and panties set. In fact, before I met M, the only piece of actual lingerie I owned was a pair of satin panties with the ass ripped out. My ex bought them for me thinking they were the same as crotchless panties.
They are not the same thing. Panties with the ass ripped out are made for a whole different type of sexin', though both orifices are accessible from the hole. And to be honest, he wore them more than I did, which I never really understood because as far as I know he's straight, and I'm not really into that sort of thing.
Don't get me wrong. I like a cute pair of panties and a sexy bra as much as the next gal. I don't want to take my clothes off in front of a stranger if I'm sporting a Cross Your Heart bra and a pair of white granny panties because it's really not attractive. What better way to avoid that than to buy things I find sexy or too adorable not to own? But to actively seek out and buy something that costs as much as an entire outfit with about a tenth of the material that I'll probably only wear once or twice for five minutes a piece in the bedroom? Yeah, that's not my style. In short, I'm a miser.
Since I met M, and started spending my time talking to and reading the blogs of other sexpots like me, I've found myself open to so many other possibilities. Who knew you didn't only have to wear lingerie in the bedroom?
Wait. You didn't know you don't have to only wear lingerie in the bedroom? Dude. You're missing out.
Ages ago, when I had oodles of Monopoly money (read: money you can't spend in the real world, but can be spent at a particular place–in this case, a sex toy store) to play with, I figured, "What the hell?" and bought a couple corsets, a few costumes, and a really pretty, mostly see-through nightgown. I mean, why not? It's not like I was spending real money on these things I probably would never wear, right? And since I spend most of my time at home naked (it's just M and me living here), maybe leaving a bit to the imagination would be even hotter!
It was, but that's another tale for another time.
You know what sucks about lingerie? None of it is sized the same. Hell, some companies don't even follow their own standards! Case in point, during that shopping spree I mentioned, I bought two corsets made by the same company that were the same size. One fit and the other was too small. SO FRUSTRATING!
So, some things to do when buying lingerie for yourself or for your partner:
1 – Take measurements. Twice. Maybe even three times. If you're wanting to surprise your partner, make up some other reason, like form fitting t-shirts from your favorite bar, or something. Just make sure you follow through or they'll catch on before you get the gift home.
2 – Read reviews. Especially if you're shopping online and you've never shopped with the company before. Usually, from an online review, you can find out what the material feels like, if the sizes run large or small, what kind of body type is most flattered by the piece you're looking at. These things are important. Some lace is really scratchy and annoying, and no one's going to wear something they think looks bad on them.
3 – Check the size charts. There's really nothing more depressing than buying a piece of lingerie and finding out it's too small. I mean, I realize that's the company's failing, but some of us girls automatically assume it means we've gained weight. We're funny that way.
4 – If you're shopping in a store, TOUCH the fabric. Everywhere, but especially around the thighs if it's panties, under and over the arms, and around the breasts. Make sure it's soft and smooth, and won't cause itchiness. I once had a bra that left scratches all over my boobs because the lace was that rough. That's no good.
5 – Don't push. You bought it for us. We know you want to see us in it. But the more you push us to put it on and prance around like some kind of trick pony, the less we're going to want to wear it. We'll get around to it. Some day. And you'll love it when we do.

Homeowners to share $612 billion in tax relief
HARRISBURG (AP) — More than 2.5 million Pennsylvania homeowners will share nearly $612 million in property and wage tax reductions thanks to slot-machine gambling.
The state Department of Education on Thursday released estimates of next year's reductions for most of the 500 local school districts under the homestead and farmstead exclusion program.
The biggest winners include Chester-Upland School District, where reductions of $641 per homeowner are anticipated. Reductions of more than $500 are expected in the Allentown and York city school districts.
The largest reduction in the Indiana County area is for the Apollo-Ridge School District, where bills will be reduced by $322. Qualifying Blairsville-Saltsburg district tax bills will be cut by $304.
Others in the area, in order of savings, are the Armstrong School District, $293; Homer-Center School District, $212; Marion Center Area School District, $209; Punxsutawney Area School District, $191; United School District, $189; Indiana Area School District, $177; Penns Manor Area School District, $169; Purchase Line School District, $142; and Harmony Area School District, $119.
The average for 41,771 qualifying properties in the region is $235.
In all, the state will share $611.6 million of casino gaming revenue with school districts in 2013-14. Districts encompassing parts of Indiana County will share in $9.8 million to reduce local tax bills.
Reductions for homesteads and farmsteads are calculated before the tax bills are sent to property owners. They do not represent cash rebates or refunds for property owners.
Under the program, the assessed value of the participating homesteads in each district is reduced by an equal amount, cutting the tax. Philadelphia homeowners receive city wage tax reductions instead. Revenue from slots gambling pays for it all.
Homeowners have until March 1 to qualify for reductions in the following year.

Okay; now THIS one he could win via wrestling. THIS one...
Would be a great fight for Chael, BUT a terrible fight for Wany to take.
If he doesn't retire Wandy needs to be in there with guys who will stand with him, yeah I know that didn't work too well against Leben! The last fight he should be considering is against a talented wrestler like Chael.
I'll be honest. That fight does very little for me. I mean I'd watch it, but wouldn't be to thrilled about it.
And it begins again. Awesome.
Not arsed anymore tbh...
Same as that, the guys a fckin idiot even though he was quite likeable on TUF. Calling out an old shot fighter (no disrespect to Silva but he is far from his prime) just so he can lay on him for 3 rounds. Imo one of the most boring fighters in MMA history, let him fight weidman (once he loses to Andreson) or Belfort. Looking forward to him finally retiring and doing what he is best at, being a pundit!
I think he should drop down to 185, fight a top contender and then get another shout at the title, had he not tried something fucking stupid against Anderson in their second fight and stuck to the game plan a la their first fight and the first round of the second he'd be the champion now. I still think he could beat Anderson, if Chael keeps knocking off top guys then the UFC surely would have to give him another title fight. We'll see what happens, he's far too small to be a LHW.

Woolrich Elite Series Tactical Discreet Carry Twill Jacket
Woolrich Elite Series Tactical has a new tactically fashionable twill jacket coming out soon. The fastest growing demographic for gun owners is the ever expanding concealed carry movement and Woolrich Elite Series Tactical is catering directly to them. Their new twill jacket can accommodate a pistol with up to a 6″ barrel, making it a little easier for those who like to carry a full sized 1911, but usually don't considering its bulk.
The Discreet Carry Twill Jacket not only provides room for a pistol, but accessories as well. The inside of the pockets are lined with 45 degree angled accessory loops that are perfect for carrying extra magazines, flight lights, or a baton. There are also an accessory tunnel which runs through it that can provide more room for concealing other items, such a communication wires for plain clothes police officers or security.
The waistband and cuffs are adjustable, and the jacket is lined with polyester and Sherpa liner. The Woolirch Elite Series Tactical Discreet Carry Twill Jacket costs $130 for the S-XXL sizes and $150 for XXXL. You can read the full press release after the break.
Woolrich Elite Series Tactical® Offers Elite Discreet Carry Twill Jacket
Rugged jacket offers warmth, but doesn't restrict movement
Woolrich, PA (May 10, 2011) — Woolrich Elite Series Tactical introduces the Elite Discreet Carry Twill Jacket, the latest addition to the company's line of concealed carry outerwear. Based on the one of Woolrich's most popular traditional jackets, the Dorrington, the Elite Discreet Carry Twill Jacket has a number of tactical features built in.
Large, reinforced inner pockets feature integrated holster loops to accommodate concealed carry handguns with up to a 6″ barrel. A unique double angle on the inner pocket provides ready access to gear, but prevents the pocket from flaring open and exposing the contents.
The rear locker loop conceals the entrance to a hidden accessory tunnel, which allows for convenient yet discreet carry of plastic restraints as well as providing routing for electronic wires.
Front hand warmer pockets contain internal accessory loops, perfect for carrying spare magazines, flashlights, batons or chemical sprays. These elastic loops are set at a 45-degree angle for optimized access and keep the items secure and in a consistent orientation for rapid deployment.
The hip-length waistband and cuffs are fully adjustable and the jacket features a boulder-washed finish for a broken-in feel. The shell is made of 11.5 oz. cotton twill and is lined with a polyester Sherpa liner. Sleeves are insulated with diamond-quilted 60-gram Arctic Insulation®.

John Gone HTML version
It was the sort of glare that would have bothered most
people, shimmering and flickering against the afternoon sun
as clouds moved past, refusing to let anyone forget that it
was there. For John, it made him curious, as most things
did, but it was almost two o'clock, and his mother had said
to be ready by then. Still, something was out there in the
sand causing the light, and if he didn't investigate it,
who would?
The teen ran across the beach behind his house to the
water's edge and crouched down above the light he'd
followed, positioning his back to break its line to the
sun. The gleam cooled at his shadow, finally allowing him
sight of his discovery: a half-buried, metal-rimmed circle
of glass edging shyly above the flattened sand below him.
John tilted his head to the side and saw numbers
engraved on the glass along its curve. A small metal arrow
was almost pointing at a carefully etched nine from
underneath. He'd found a wristwatch. John lifted it from
the sand and shook it clean within the ocean before
bringing it to his ear. It was still ticking.
Dangling the watch by its leather band, John looked
through the glass and noticed something odd. Seated behind

Re: Bad weather? Keep kids home, Feb.13, The News.

This letter to the editor was very disheartening to read, particularly the sentence, "the few children who do go [to school during inclement weather] aren't taught anything new because too many children are absent."

Doesn't being a teacher encompass "teaching" despite the number of students present in the classroom? And who says that reviewing previous lessons is a bad thing?

As a parent with children attending St. Bernadette Elementary School in Dundas, I count myself fortunate.

After picking my children up at the end of a recent snow day, the teacher told me how much she enjoyed spending one-on-one time reading with my children.

At that time, I realized how fortunate we were to have a teacher with that perspective.

Laurel Raimey is keeping a difficult secret; she is a finder -- a person gifted with the parapsychological ability to find missing things or people. Hers is a strange, sometimes frightening gift, which she must hide because of her mother s unshakable belief that such power is the result of a disordered mind. Laurel knows better, but there is no one she can trust and no one who will understand.
Relieved to be spending the summer with her father in the country, Laurel soon realizes that Dr. Raimey, a renowned parapsychologist, is too engrossed in his research to pay any attention to his daughter. All the more reason for Laurel to suppress her finding ability --- if her father discovered it, she d become just another guinea pig for his research. Frustrated, angry, and hurt, Laurel runs away --- and is taken in by the most wonderful family she has ever known. There is something special about the Lestranges that makes Laurel feel immediately at home. Suddenly the summer is full of discovery and bright possibilities. As Laurel and her father begin to bridge the distance between them, it seems nothing can spoil these happy days. . .
Until her secret becomes impossible to hide. In the middle of a raging hurricane, Laurel receives a terrifying distress signal. To share the message is to reveal her secret. To withhold what she knows, with lives in danger, is even worse. Finally, struggling against a communication too urgent to ignore, Laurel can no longer hold back.
This extraordinary science fiction/adventure story by the author of Mind-Hold takes us into the strange and fascinating world of parapsychology --- and leads once again to the House of Logran.

Furthermore, it seems to be more widespread as Boost Mobile, one of Sprint's prepaid subsidiaries, is also moving forward in ceasing all sales of iDEN devices that run on Sprint's iDEN network. Well, it doesn't mean that you won't be able to check out some kind of chirping push-to-talk device, since newer devices are now relying on Sprint's CDMA network for its DirectConnect feature.
Previously, we were all made aware that the entire network would shutter on the planned date of June 30, 2013, which is still well over a year at this point – but in the meantime, Sprint is making the proactive effort of achieving its goal by no longer selling iDEN-based phones. As we get closer to that end date for its iDEN network, we'll probably hear more regarding Sprint's plans on helping customers with iDEN phones to transition over to newer devices that rely on DirectConnect.

Chris Bowen has been sworn in as Treasurer and former climate change minister Greg Combet could be asked back into the cabinet in a different portfolio after Kevin Rudd's return as Labor leader triggered a wave of ministerial resignations.
Mr Combet was one of six ministers who resigned last night after Mr Rudd defeated Julia Gillard to reclaim the prime ministership.
Mr Rudd has been sworn in as Prime Minister at Government House in Canberra. Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese has formally taken up his post as Deputy Prime Minister, while Mr Bowen takes charge of the government's key economic portfolio.
Mr Bowen's return to the cabinet as Treasurer follows his resignation from Julia Gillard's frontbench in March after he supported Mr Rudd in the leadership contest no-show.
Mr Rudd has previously spoken highly of Mr Bowen, a former immigration minister and key backer of his return to the leadership.
In March, Mr Rudd praised Mr Bowen as ''one of our great hopes for the future'' and ''a future prime minister of Australia''.
Mr Bowen replaces Wayne Swan, who served as Treasurer under Mr Rudd during the global financial crisis but went on to become one of Ms Gillard's strongest backers and suffered from the abandonment of the long-running pledge to return the budget to surplus this year.
Mr Bowen's role will be crucial as Mr Rudd has stressed the need to provide national economic leadership and heal Labor's strained relationship with business.
Amid speculation that Mr Rudd will make changes to the controversial carbon price – of which Mr Combet has political ownership – sources are now saying it would make sense to bring Mr Combet back in a different portfolio.
Mr Combet said on Thursday night that it was appropriate for him to resign because it was ''well known that I have been a strong supporter of Julia Gillard''.
However, Mr Combet's return was not regarded to have been made impossible by his support for Ms Gillard. Unlike some Gillard supporters, Mr Combet did not make unacceptable public remarks attacking Mr Rudd.
Rather, his position may have been made untenable by looming changes to the carbon price.
Some Rudd supporters are saying they would welcome a return of Mr Combet to the front bench. Environment Minister Tony Burke told ABC Radio on Thursday morning that he has offered his resignation to Mr Rudd, but it was not accepted.
The other ministers to have resigned are Mr Swan, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy, Trade Minister Craig Emerson, School Education Minister Peter Garrett and Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig.
Along with Ms Gillard, who is sticking to her pledge not to recontest her seat in Parliament if she lost the Labor ballot, Mr Garrett and Dr Emerson will retire at the election.
Defence Minister Stephen Smith will continue in the portfolio until the election when he will retire from Parliament.
The loss of Mr Garrett and Ms Gillard comes at a crucial time in negotiations for the Gonski school reforms. The new funding system passed into law on Wednesday before the leadership drama came to a head but Ms Gillard had set a deadline of this Sunday for deals with the states.
This deadline could now be extended.
The election date is also up in the air. Ms Gillard had nominated September 14 as an election date but the writs have not been issued so there is nothing stopping Mr Rudd from choosing a different day. Speculation points to an August election.

!!!New Product - Massive Precision GM LS Series Crank Bolt!!!
Truly superior strength is needed on this most critical of load bearing fasteners. The crankshaft sees immense kinetic energy! Both twisting and lateral loads are exerted on this one area, and to an even greater degree on belt driven supercharged cars. OEM fasteners are one-time-use - they stretch and must be replaced, so upgrading with the Massive Speed Precision unit is a "no-brainer". Grade 12.9 197,000 PSI tensile strength 12 point flanged bolt finished in black oxide is far stronger and places superior clamp only load to balancer through the use of a seperate washer plate (a full 1/4" thick!) versus the 1 piece stocker. Fully reusable. MADE IN THE USA!!!
Just $24.57. Still $5 shipping to the lower 48 states.
Find it Here
YES - this will work on your LS1 equipped Focus... ;)
So to make sure when I put in my 2001 ZX3 focus as my vehicle and I get this:
"This Part Will NOT Fit Your 2001 FORD FOCUS ZX3 4Cyl 2.0L" in red above the part image I ignore that as it will fit the Zetec motor anyway? :-)
But what about my LS7 focus? Guess don't see why they would post a new product that 99% of the people can't even use....
Plenty of people on here own more than one car or truck. Any time you do a cam on an LS the crank bolt has to come off, so this is a pretty commonly requested item.
And hey, we support this site, so I like to let anyone and everyone know what we've got! :)
A little birdy told me there might just be a zetec crank bolt coming down the pipeline as well!
TurboTurtle would agree!

DID you ask dulcet rhymes from me?
Did you seek the civilians peaceful and languishing rhymes?
Did you find what I sang erewhile so hard to follow?
Why I was not singing erewhile for you to follow, to understandnor am I now;
(I have been born of the same as the war was born;
The drum-corps harsh rattle is to me sweet musicI love well the martial dirge,
With slow wail, and convulsive throb, leading the officers funeral:)
What to such as you, anyhow, such a poet as I?therefore leave my works,
And go lull yourself with what you can understandand with piano-tunes;
For I lull nobodyand you will never understand me.

I had the cool coolsculpt procedure done on my stomach 9 days ago. The day of procedure no problem til day three...the pins and needles and bee stings were VERY uncomfortable! I had the handle bars done as well and no pain but tenderness and soreness like I worked out to much.
A little numbness on one side still....but the stomach I was very concerned about as well. Day 5 the bee stings went away then the numbness and tender to touch and Internal Burning continues to this day. I find it worse when I sit for long times and by the end of the day have to stretch out.... I am looking forward to sat which will be 2 weeks.
I haven't been able to do any abdominal work...just card and upper body. I have seen a loss of an inch off waist and 2 inches off hips. I have hope this very uncomfortable burning will stop, it would have been most helpful to know so I could have scheduled time off work days 2-7 off to relax and heal.

1) Steve, Fresno, CA: Thanks for writing the journal! I was curious about the Winter Meetings. Did you think it was as crazy as they portray it on ESPN? Could you actually hear deals going down in the lobby? Did you see the A's front office while you were there?
The Winter Meetings weren't as crazy as ESPN portrayed it to be. Most of the teams have suites in the hotel and do their deals in private. Although you do see agents and front office brass chatting in public in the lobby, the big deals probably happen upstairs or over the phone.
I did run into the A's staff there briefly, but they were busy taking care of their off-season transactions. During the day, both MLB and minor league officials have league meetings (team schedules, All-Star games, new rules). The evenings were mostly for anyone in the baseball world to catch up with one another, share some stories and show off their rings.
In the lobby, anywhere I went I could always hear Ozzie Guillen's voice telling stories in Spanglish (half Spanish, half English). He had everyone smiling and laughing whoever was around him. Side Note: The Marlins World Series ring from 2003 was probably noticeable from space. It was HUGE!
2) Perry, Stockton, CA: Hey Scot! I have seen you play for the Ports for the past two years. This journal is great! My question is about pitching in the California League. What is the hardest park to pitch in? How does the Ports park rate?
The California League is notoriously known as a hitter's league. As a pitcher you hear "keep the ball down" from your managers, teammates, and I've heard it from my fair share of fans. But it was also a learning experience that you need to hit spots and that you won't get away with leaving the ball up.
High Desert and Lancaster were some of the more difficult parks to pitch in due to the 30mph + winds. And, yes, that wind was always blowing out. Pitching in Stockton was great, other than the 250 foot Jackson-Rancheria right field porch. Playing in a new stadium on the water with great fan support made it very enjoyable. Banner Island is one of, if not the, nicest ballpark in the league. I liked how it allowed fans to walk freely around the 360 degree designed stadium.
3) Jeff, Illinois: What are you doing to rehab your arm? Do you think you'll miss a lot of the season?
As for the rehab process, I have been going to a sport rehab facility called Accelerated in Fort Lauderdale. I have to give a shout-out to the staff and the crazy soccer moms that rehab with me. They always make enjoyable for what it is. The rehab has been going on for about five weeks now and I have been doing exercises to strengthen my rotator cuff and the muscles around it. One of the physical therapists opened a baseball clinic on the side and I have been training there, as well.
Sports Baseball Clinic has about 25 baseball specific workout machines. These machines are all new and very innovative to the sport of baseball. They are static workouts that consist of one minute on each machine, then 30 seconds off to build quick fast twitch muscles.
Most of the machines are air-compressed, so if you start getting tired during the minute you can hit a button to decrease the resistance without removing actual weights. I get to start my throwing program in the next week and hope to build off that and be at extended spring training in April.
Throughout this time being home, while all my teammates are in Arizona, I have realized even more you can not take this game or your career for granted. Everyday I find myself going to high school practices or games to just be around the baseball field.
Today I arrived at a high school practice early and started doing dry drills pretending I was pitching a game on the mound. School security came by and thought I was trespassing. I just told him I struck out the last five batters and he better not mess up my no-hitter. I didn't think he understood the joke by the clueless look on his face as he looked and saw no one else on the field.
By the next entry I hope to be in Arizona for the start of extended spring training. Last week's riddle was fairly easy for the baseball enthusiast. It was the "catcher and umpire." This week I hope to stump you with:
A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?
I appreciate all the emails; keep them coming. Send me some of your own riddles and try to stump me.
If you want to contact Scot with a question or a riddle, please email email@example.com

The Data Digest: Consumers' Attitude Towards Online Privacy And Security
Posted by Reineke Reitsma on January 20, 2012
Over the weekend, one of the most reputable online retailers in the US, Zappos, broke the news that its database was hacked and that the information for about 24 million user accounts was breached.
How do stories like this affect consumers' attitude toward online privacy? In our August 2011 Community Speaks Qualitative Insights report, "Consumer And Online Privacy: How Much Information Is Too Much?" (available for Community Speaks subscribers only), we found that online privacy is one of the most concerning topics in online users' minds. Two-thirds of US online consumers report being very concerned about the recording and collection of their personal details by websites.
Consumers like to take the easy way out: As soon as they feel companies are asking for irrelevant information or they're unsure how the information they're providing will be used, they simply abandon their transaction. To prevent losing business over this, companies need to determine what information they really need and what's nice to have, and build a system that doesn't force consumers to enter information that isn't critical. As one of interviewees, age 52 from Limestone, N.Y., said, "If I'm signing up at a site and they just need the basic info (name, address, email, etc.) that's fine — but if they start asking more in depth info — social security number, bank info, credit card info — then I just close out and don't finish it." As my colleague Fatemeh Khatibloo wrote earlier this week, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of data capture, data breaches, and the value of personal data, and it's not enough to treat all data (nor all customers) the same.
But even if organizations get this right, it's difficult to prepare for every form of cyber attack, as the case of Zappos shows. However, the way in which consumers respond to attacks is within the span of control of the organization. Zappos is helping its customers reset their accounts and doing everything possible to regain their confidence. In general, websites need to go the extra mile to come up with contingency plans to mitigate risks outside of their control in order to win back online consumers' confidence.
In addition, there needs to
Comment from Warrior CIO (not verified) on Fri, 01/20/2012 - 09:44
In addition, there needs to be a serious redesign of consumer protection laws particularly around electronic information and credit. I cannot understand why I can't lock my credit report down and so there are no unauthorized accounts created or purchases. I lock my car and put an alarm on it to reduce people stealing it, but I can't do that with my identity.

I used to hate Martha Stewart.
Not personally, of course. It's not like I ever ran into her at Eighth Ave. Market shopping for special white fancy-pants peaches because regular peaches weren't good enough for her. I didn't know Martha Stewart in real life. Obviously.
But I didn't like her image. She was always all hey! Look at me bake a cake and make centerpieces and groom my chows and grow heirloom tomatoes and collect green pottery and go antiquing on the weekends in Connecticut! In fact, look at me do more and EVERYTHING better than you can!
I realize a lot of women felt inspired by Martha Stewart's example. And good on them! But I just felt defeated by all that perfection. Martha made it look so easy, so effortless. Meanwhile out here in Utah, I was in the thick of a messy life. A rich life, to be sure. But a messy one with lots and lots and LOTS of cakes that fell.
So yeah. I resented Martha and her lifestyle empire for making me feel bad about my own non-show-dog-grooming, non-tasteful-green-pottery-collecting, non-centerpiece-making, non-perfect life.
Then one day Martha went to jail, and when she emerged five months later, girlfriend proudly wore a homely handmade poncho, given to her as a parting gift by a fellow prisoner. For me, at least, it was an endearing, humanizing moment, and I went, "Rock on, Martha Stewart. Rock on." Even though she couldn't hear me, because you know. She was in West Virginia and I was in Utah. And also we don't actually know each other in real life.
I was thinking about this the other day as I scrolled through a number of "mommy blogs" blogs written by young mothers for other young mothers about the experience of being (wait for it) a young mother.
I enjoyed most of them, and as a matter of fact I think blogging is an awesome way to share stories, ideas and photos. It's a great creative outlet for a lot of people women and men. A few of the blogs, however . . . well, I wondered how they would have made me feel back in the day of my messy life. Would I have been smart enough to realize that the pictures were just snapshots of a single moment in time? And not a panoramic view of an entire life?
I doubt it.
I remembered a book I read when I was in college (back when human beings still lived in caves and commuted by brontosaurus). It was called The Image by Daniel Boorstin, who described what a ticker tape parade looks like on film as opposed to how it feels to be an observer at the actual event.
On film there's a constant flutter of shredded ticker tape. There's endless noise! Music! Cheering! That's because the camera follows the vehicle with the individuals being honored, which gives the impression to people watching the parade back home that there's a constant party, party, party going on!
Meanwhile the observer who's actually at the parade sitting on a hard curb in the heat while wrangling a grumpy toddler who just dumped a cherry snow cone in his lap only experiences the noise and music and cheering for the five minutes that the convertible is in his line of vision.
The point? An image frozen in time may be real enough. But it's a mistake to confuse a part for the whole especially when you're comparing your entire life to a carefully stage-managed "perfect" piece of someone else's.
Just saying.

Valeant to buy Egyptian drugmaker Amoun for about $800 million
(Reuters) - Canadian drugmaker Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc (VRX.TO: Quote) (VRX.N: Quote) said it would buy Egypt's largest drugmaker, Amoun Pharmaceutical, for about $800 million.
Valeant said it expects the acquisition of privately held Amoun to help expand in the Middle East and North Africa.
Amoun is a market leader in bowel drugs, hypertension drugs and antibiotics in Egypt, Valeant said in a statement. Amoun also makes veterinary drugs.
The deal, Valeant's fifth acquisition this year under Chief Executive Michael Pearson, also includes additional contingent payments.
Valeant, which built its portfolio through buying up smaller drugmakers, signed its biggest ever acquisition in March, when it offered $11 billion to buy Salix Pharmaceuticals.
