WOLF PACK ON THE INTERNET: Nevada baseball can be heard over the internet at NevadaWolfPack.tv for a nominal fee.
HOME VIDEO STREAMING: Video for home games will be streamed on the internet for a fee at NevadaWolfPack.tv
NEVADA PICKED THIRD: Nevada will be competing in the Mountain West for the first time in 2013 after 12 seasons in the Western Athletic Conference. In the preseason MW Coaches Poll the Wolf Pack was picked third behind New Mexico and San Diego State.
SHIPLEY PRESEASON MW SELECTION: Junior right-hander Bradey Shipley was selected to the preseason MW Coaches team. Shipley, the 2012 WAC Pitcher of the Year, went 9-4 with 2.20 ERA in 98.1 innings on the mound. He struck out 88 and walked 40.
KLEIN AND BYLER EXTEND HIT STREAKS: After collecting hits in the first four games of the 2013 season Brooks Klein and Austin Byler extended hit streaks to seven games dating back to the final three games of last season. Kewby Meyer has hit in the last five and Hugo Hernandez the last four.
THEROUX BREAKS HAND: Freshman catcher Collin Theroux broke a bone in his right hand in the second game of the Kansas series in Mesa, Ariz. Theroux was run over by the Kansas player at home plate and suffered the injury. The extent and amount of time he will miss has not been determined.
FORMER PACK FOOTBALL PLAYERS TO THROW OUT FIRST PITCH SATURDAY: Nine former Nevada football players will throw out the first pitch for Saturday's 11 a.m. game with Northern Illinois. Virgil Green, Kaelin Burnett, Jonathon Amaya, Tray Session, Dontay Moch, Brandon Marshall, Kevin Basped, James Michael Johnson, and Ezra Butler will be at Peccole Park on Saturday to toss out the first pitch.
GERIG DELIVERS: With Nevada trailing 8-7 junior outfielder Brad Gerig delivered a two-out two-RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Wolf Pack a 9-8 walk-off victory over Kansas. Gerig hit the 0-2 pitch off the bottom of the left field wall to score Lance Berringer, who started the inning with a single, and pinch runner Curtis Frisbie.
NEVADA SPLITS OPENING WEEKEND: Nevada split its four-game series with Kansas at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Ariz. The Jayhawks took games 1 and 3 by scores of 11-4 and 6-3. The Pack won Saturday 2-1 and Monday 9-8.
WELLS SHUTOUT: Sophomore lefty Tyler Wells tossed six shutout innings in his first start of the season versus Kansas. Wells allowed seven hits, walked two and struck out one to earn his first win of the season. He was the only Pack starter to earn a victory the opening weekend.
TRIPLES KLEIN: Senior outfielder Brooks Klein tied for team-high honors last season with six triples and after four games this year has collected a pair. Klein went 8-for-17 the opening weekend to hit .471 with four runs scored, a double, the two triples and two RBI. His 13 total bases gives him a slugging percentage of .765. In three of the four games he had multiple hits.
FAIN SHINES: Freshman hurler Michael Fain made the most of his two appearances the opening weekend versus Kansas. Fain was involved in both Pack victories over the Jayhawks. Saturday he worked out of a no out bases loaded jam in the ninth to earn the save in the 2-1 Pack win. Monday he pitched the final three innings of the game to earn his first victory in the Silver & Blue. Fain allowed two runs on three hits in the 9-8 Pack win.
JAMESON REACHES 37: Senior Tom Jameson made his 37th consecutive start the opening weekend against Kansas and the 40th start of his career. Jameson made 15 starts in 2011 and 2012 and nine during his freshman year in 2010 which included the final six games of the season. The Reno High School product is tied for 10th in school history with 19 wins. His 250.2 career innings pitched ranks eighth at Nevada. In 46 games his record is 19-10 with a 3.77 ERA. Twice his freshman year he earned saves.
NEW PLAYERS: The opening weekend saw 27 players take the field for the Pack and 11 were seeing action for the first time in a Wolf Pack uniform. Seven of the 15 position players were new to the program and four-of-12 pitchers.
HERNANDEZ FLASHING LEATHER: Senior first baseman Hugh Hernandez missed all but five games last season with injury and received a medical redshirt. In his first start of the season at first base in game 2 versus Kansas Hernandez was outstanding defensively. He made two great plays with the glove to start double playes including a key 3-2-3 in the top of the ninth with the bases loaded. In the fourth he cut down a runner at home on a chopper to end the scoring threat. He was also involved in another double play as the Pack turn three in the game. At the plate he batted .375 with a run scored, double and RBI.
KAPLAN AT SECOND: Irvine Valley College junior Scott Kaplan was impressive in his first weekend of play for the Pack. The second baseman started all four games and hit .500 going 7-for-14 with a double and two RBI. He had hits in all four games and multiple hits in the first two contests with two in game 1 and three in game 2.

I got lucky and drew a blind for Banner. I've never been there so I have some questions I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to answer (I emailed the DNR and got no response).
1. Does the permit holder have to be present ?
2. Is a boat required ?
3. Do the blinds have a spot for dogs ?
4. Are decoys provided ?
5. What if we are unable to go ?

Hi! I am a newbie!
History: - I work with a volunteer project and use a lot of illustrations as this project concerns refugees and thus there is no real common language. We need illustrations. And because many artists gives some illustrations for free, I want to both credit them and endorse and promote their (often) small firms in various ways. - In the beginning I was happy with what I found at different sites, but I begun to wonder why I did not get the names of the original artists, but was told to promote the site itself? To promote an artist is a clear win-win situation. Every reader of my site understands, if asked, that the freelancers and such have a hell of work to do in order to get bread on the table. And those readers that understands that I promote the 'small guy' (no offence), endorses me. Because I am very small and insignificant. [Yes. I am an egoist too. ]
- Then, not so many days ago, I found an illustration that looked familiar – for free. (The artist is a member here.) And I also found a site where it was sold. I begun to wonder what kind of illustrations I have on my site? Stolen? What is my moral duty to do? Do I promote 'sick' sites with just greedy people? So now I ask you guys what to do?
Not directly "stolen" photos Here in Finland "Big Company X" puts up a contest of 'photos describing everyday life' or such and people send them tons of pics. From how many countries I do not know, but the prize is maybe a "Super-Duper Camera". To put the same contest in many languages gives a lot of response here. [The photographer thinks that the contest is only in his country, but as there are 25 different official languages inside EU alone… You get my drift] The very small text of the rules says that the company that arranged the contest, is now the owner of all pictures or can at least freely use them. That is why there are no names of the photographers. The photos are stolen in "a legal way".
So, now you understand why I want nowadays promote/credit living persons, not some odd sites. I figure out, that the sites through which you can be in contact with the artist are OK. Like this site. What I really want to stress here, is that the problem with thieves and con-men are not only the problem of those that are stolen from, but also the end-users. What will I say, when some of you guys find me and tells me that I have stolen the picture on page 64? I can't know what I have done or not done; if I have stolen anything, but scandals sinks big ships and small vessels as well.
First time reading this i thought you where on drugs..
It made sense to me. I don't know how you can ensure you source only legit work though, although buying illustrations / photos from GraphicRiver / Photodune is one way!

No, I just gave my "company" that name, since I love the Finnish language, and I like that word and the meaning. I can't actually speak Finnish, I tried to learn but haven't got very far. I understand a tiny bit of what Viikate and Timo R are singing about, which is something at least.

Ice age constraints on climate sensitivity
Perhaps the key difference of Schmittner et al. to some previous studies is their use of all available proxy data for the LGM, whilst other studies have selected a subset of proxy data that they deemed particularly reliable (e.g., in Schneider et al. SST data from the tropical Atlantic, Greenland and Antarctic ice cores and some tropical land temperatures). Uncertainties of the proxy data (and the question of knowing what these uncertainties are) are crucial in this kind of study. A well-known issue with LGM proxies is that the most abundant type of proxy data, using the species composition of tiny marine organisms called foraminifera, probably underestimates sea surface cooling over vast stretches of the tropical oceans; other methods like alkenone and Mg/Ca ratios give colder temperatures (but aren't all coherent either). It is clear that this data issue makes a large difference in the sensitivity obtained.
The Schneider et al. ensemble constrained by their selection of LGM data gives a global-mean cooling range during the LGM of 5.8 +/- 1.4ºC (Schnieder Von Deimling et al, 2006), while the best fit from the UVic model used in the new paper has 3.5ºC cooling, well outside this range (weighted average calculated from the online data, a slightly different number is stated in Nathan Urban's interview – not sure why).
Curiously, the mean SEA estimate (2.4ºC) is identical to the mean KEA number, but there is a big difference in what they concluded the mean temperature at the LGM was, and a small difference in how they defined sensitivity. Thus the estimates of the forcings must be proportionately less as well. The differences are that the UVic model has a smaller forcing from the ice sheets, possibly because of an insufficiently steep lapse rate (5ºC/km instead of a steeper value that would be more typical of dryer polar regions), and also a smaller change from increased dust.
Model-data comparisons
So there is a significant difference in the headline results from SEA compared to previous results. As we mentioned above though, there are reasons to think that their result is biased low. There are two main issues here. First, the constraint to a lower sensitivity is dominated by the ocean data – if the fit is made to the land data alone, the sensitivity would be substantially higher (though with higher uncertainty). The best fit for all the data underpredicts the land temperatures significantly.
However, even in the ocean the fit to the data is not that good in many regions – particular the southern oceans and Antarctica, but also in the Northern mid-latitudes. This occurs because the tropical ocean data are weighing more heavily in the assessment than the sparser and possibly less accurate polar and mid-latitude data. Thus there is a mismatch between the pattern of cooling produced by the model, and the pattern inferred from the real world. This could be because of the structural deficiency of the model, or because of errors in the data, but the (hard to characterise) uncertainty in the former is not being carried into final uncertainty estimate. None of the different model versions here seem to get the large polar amplification of change seen in the data for instance.

Feb. 21, 2014
By Jeffrey Weinstein
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- It's been 58 years since former University of Michigan ice hockey standouts and childhood friends Willard Ikola and John Matchefts suited up for Team USA at the 1956 Winter Olympic Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
For the Eveleth (Minn.) High School hockey teammates -- Ikola in net and Matchefts up front -- the 1956 Olympics were the culmination of a hockey journey together as players, but it was only part of a lifelong friendship that continued until Matchefts passed away this past fall on Nov. 10, 2013.
On the eve of another Olympic medal round, Ikola remembers well his Olympic experience and a friend whose career was shaped by Team USA's journey to a silver medal in the mountains of Italy.
"Every four years when you see it, you automatically remember the time that you had and what a great experience it was," Ikola said.
The pipeline from Eveleth, Minn., to Ann Arbor, Mich., began with forward Wally Grant's success at U-M. Grant, a star at Eveleth High School who helped the school win the first Minnesota state championship in 1945, was drawn to Michigan by head coach Vic Heyliger. Grant was a three-time All-American with the Wolverines, helping Michigan win its first national title in hockey during his sophomore year in 1948.
"We had a snowballing effect from our high school to the University of Michigan as far as hockey players go," Ikola said. "The first players that went to Michigan were Wally Grant and Neil Celley, who graduated (from Eveleth High) in 1945. It seemed like every year after that we had one kid from our high school that went to the University of Michigan on a hockey scholarship. Michigan was offering hockey scholarships at the time and the University of Minnesota wasn't, so that's one reason we went to Michigan."
With the path to Michigan from Eveleth established, Matchefts, also a talented forward from Minnesota and three time all-state honoree, enrolled at the University in 1949. Matchefts played his first season with the Wolverines in 1950-51 and quickly made an impact on the ice, playing a highly skilled, tenacious style of hockey that garnered him a nickname from his teammates, "The Fly." Matchefts earned All-American honors and Michigan won its second national championship in 1951.
"John wasn't a very big kid, probably 5-8, 160 pounds, but he was very quick," Ikola said. "He was a tremendous stick handler. The one thing I always recall about John was that he was a complete player as far as playing both ends of the rink. He was also one heck of a competitor. He was a three-sport man in high school, and maybe that's one of the reasons he was so competitive when he played. He didn't want to lose, that's for sure."
After a stint in the IHL, Ikola joined Matchefts on the ice at Michigan for the 1951-52 season, earning the starting goaltending job and helping U-M earn its second straight national championship.
Michigan won its third straight national title in 1952-53 as Matchefts was named NCAA Tournament MVP after a 7-3 win over Minnesota, his final game with the Maize and Blue. Ikola and Matchefts both earned All-America recognition that season as well.
Both players enrolled in the armed forces after highly decorated college careers, Ikola in the Air Force and Matchefts in the Marine Corps. Just a few years removed from winning national championships at Michigan, the two Wolverines returned to the ice together to play for the United States after phone calls by USA Hockey.
Willard Ikola
"Over half of the Olympic team was in military service," Ikola said. "What happened was that USA Hockey, who ran the Olympic program, would contact the service and say, 'We'd like to have these players try out for the Olympic team.' So we got orders out of Special Services in Washington, D.C., assigning us to USA Hockey for Olympic tryouts. It was a pretty good deal for us because we were getting our military pay at the same time."
After breaking camp in Duluth, Minn., with the team, Ikola and Matchefts became Michigan Hockey's first Olympians, along with Bob White (Canada), who enrolled at Michigan after the 1956 Games.
With head coach John Mariucci at the helm, Team USA played a series of exhibitions in the United States against college teams and overseas in London against international competition before opening preliminary round play at the Olympics in January 1956. There were 11 teams in the Olympic tournament, and Team USA was in a group with Czechoslovakia and Poland in a round-robin, double-elimination format.
On Jan. 27, 1956, the U.S. lost its first game of the tournament against Czechoslovakia, 4-3, before defeating Poland, 4-0, the next day to advance to the medal round consisting of six teams playing five games against each other. Team USA won three straight games against Germany, Canada and Sweden (Matchefts scored twice in a 6-1 win) before a de facto gold medal game against the Soviet Union.
This was the first meeting between the United States and the Soviet Union in ice hockey at the Olympic Games, and there was intrigue among the American contingent about what they would face.
"The Russian team that we were up against was an older team," Ikola said. "Most of those guys were in their upper 20s, some guys in their early 30s. They were the so-called Red Army team, because all of them were in the service, and their primary job was to play hockey, so they were well-drilled."
On Feb. 3, 1956, the Soviets defeated Team USA, 4-0, leaving the American players impressed with the style of play they had seen. Ikola, who started in net for the contest, remembered well what he saw that day.
"They didn't like the body-checking part of the game, like the Americans and Canadians played," Ikola said. "They were a puck-moving team. They maybe even over-passed to a point. They would have point-blank shots and then make that extra pass, and the puck was in the net. They were very skilled."
The U.S. went on to win the silver medal with a 9-4 victory over Czechoslovakia the next day, and Matchefts and Ikola became the first Michigan hockey alums to win Olympic medals, joining White, who won a bronze medal with Canada.
But it was the game against the Soviet Union that would stick with Matchefts and influence his 30-year coaching career.
"Johnny Matchefts liked that (Soviet) style. He was a very skilled player and it made a big impression on him, the way they handled the puck."
After the Olympics, Matchefts returned to Minnesota to coach high school hockey at Thief River Falls from 1956-58, before becoming the head coach at Eveleth High School, where he coached for eight years.
Ikola became head coach of the hockey team at Edina (Minn.) High School in 1958, where he remained for 33 years, compiling a record of 616-149-38 and winning eight state championships.
Matchefts joined the college ranks after his own highly successful high school coaching career, joining Colorado College from 1966-72, then Air Force from 1972-1985, where he replaced his mentor, Heyliger, as head coach in 1975.
During his college tenure, Matchefts recruited players from Ikola's Edina team who offered high opinions of Matchefts' coaching style.
"They always thought that John was a very good coach," Ikola said. "He was very down to detail and was a very hockey-oriented type of coach. He liked the European and Russian style. He copied some of that in his own coaching philosophy. He was a very knowledgeable hockey person, and I know our former players really enjoyed him and thought he was a great coach."
Both Matchefts and Ikola were inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in consecutive years, Ikola in 1990 and Matchefts in 1991. Both were also part of a memorable era in U.S. Olympic hockey, a team that learned from its experience against the Soviet Union in 1956 and returned with many of the same players at the 1960 Olympic Games in Squaw Valley, Calif. That team beat the Russians, 3-2, and won the first gold medal for the United States in men's hockey at the Olympics.
But for Ikola, it was the success experienced during a golden era of Michigan Hockey that set the stage for their experiences at the international level and in coaching.
"We were fortunate to have great teammates and good teams at Michigan," Ikola said. "The caliber of play was very good. The guys that came in were gifted hockey players, and they played and most graduated in four years. It was a great school."

Sorry superhero fans, your passwords say a bit too much about you.
In addition to being hopelessly unoriginal, Twitter has determined that your passwords of choice are too tempting to password stealers. And so it has banned them for new users. But, hey, at least you're not alone. Folks who choose tech terms over superheroes aren't safe either. Twitter has also deemed "qwerty", "computer," and "internet" too easy to steal.

Striker Adam Cunnington has left Dagenham by mutual consent.
The 24-year-old joined John Still's side on loan from Kettering last November before subsequently making the move permanent in January for an undisclosed fee.
Cunnington, who penned a deal until June 2014, made a total of nine appearances for the Daggers last season, seven of which were from the bench, but failed to find the net.
The marksman joined non-league Alfreton in March on a loan deal until the end of the campaign, scoring twice in 11 displays.
A statement from Dagenham added: "Everyone at the club wishes Adam well for the future and we thank him for his efforts during his spell here."

TUC alert on chemicals shake up at work
The TUC says union safety reps should make sure their employers are ready to meet new legal duties on workplace chemicals. The union body, which this week published new online safety rep guidance on the REACH regulations, says two important implementation deadlines are approaching. These require many of the high volume and most hazardous chemicals to be registered with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) by 30 November. There's also a 1 December deadline for notifying ECHA of the revised classification and labelling of hazardous chemicals. TUC adds that some chemical safety data sheets may have to be updated. It says: 'If any employers your union deals with manufacture, sell or use chemicals they may be affected, and unions are encouraged to ensure that their employer is complying with the new regulations. If they fail to do so they could face enforcement action.' TUC says safety reps in firms using chemicals should check with the employer whether: Their classification should be changed under the new rules; they are labelled in line with the rules; all uses are covered by updated safety data sheets; and the required risk assessment measures have been implemented. TUC head of safety Hugh Robertson commented: 'REACH has the potential to make a major improvement to the health of workers. Exposure to chemicals is one of the biggest causes of death. They are used in most industries and workplaces. That is why safety representatives need to make sure that their employer knows what their responsibilities are and that they are ensuring workers are not exposed to anything that might harm them.' European trade union bodies ETUC and EMCEF this month launched an 'extensive' information campaign, calling on 'elected representatives in companies in Europe to raise awareness on employers' obligations' under REACH and related classification, labelling and packaging regulations on chemicals.

Ferry boss flounders over 'fat' jibe
Unions have criticised 'slanderous' comments made by the boss of ferry giant Stena Line after he said British workers were 'fat' and not fit for the job. Stena Line North Sea director Pim de Lange's comments appeared in a Dutch newspaper, where he was quoted as saying it was hard to find seafarers in the UK 'unless you want types with fat bellies and covered with tattoos'. He has since backtracked, saying he was quoted out of context and has apologised. He claimed he simply meant it is difficult to find young fit people to hire because 'they don't want to go to sea these days.' Paul Moloney, assistant general secretary of ships' officers union Nautilus, said the fat and unfit jibes were 'slanderous', adding they were a disgraceful attack on 'the professional, hard working men and women who go to sea, who take full responsibility for the lives of those onboard and who deliver an unparalleled safety record.' Steve Todd, head of maritime at transport union RMT, called for a fuller apology from the Stena boss. He said: 'RMT is demanding a full retraction of all the statements he has made and a full apology to all British seafarers for his behaviour.' RMT has been pressing the company to use a higher proportion of UK staff on its vessels. It says Filipino workers are paid £2.20 an hour, a far lower rate than that paid to British workers. Stena has pledged to use more UK seafarers on its new superferry, the Stena Hollandica, than employed on its sister ship, the Stena Britannica.
NUT critical of schools asbestos assurances
The government and its safety watchdog have 'misplaced' confidence in the ability of schools to safety manage asbestos, teaching union NUT has said. The union was commented after a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) online survey and follow up inspection programme found 'the majority of local authorities in England with 'system build' schools have procedures and precautions in place to manage asbestos safely.' HSE said the initiative, carried out in conjunction with the Department for Education (DfE), found that out of the 152 councils in England that have responsibility for providing education, it was 'satisfied' from their online assurances that 110 have systems in place to meet their duties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006. The other 42 authorities were visited by HSE inspectors to ensure that they were also managing the risks from asbestos. Of the authorities inspected, ten - 24 per cent - received a total of 18 enforcement notices, including one prohibition notice. NUT general secretary Christine Blower welcomed the publication of the survey findings, but warned HSE's confidence in the findings was 'misplaced.' She said: 'Apart from the fact that the survey was restricted to asbestos management in system built schools, the NUT questions how it can be claimed that the majority of local authorities meet legal requirements in terms of asbestos management when only 42 were actually visited by HSE inspectors. The other 110 simply completed an on-line survey, making the survey essentially a paper exercise, reliant on local authorities admitting to failings in their system of asbestos management in order to trigger a visit from the HSE.' She added: 'We fear also that the findings of this limited survey will be used to justify the abolition of a recently-established DfE steering group which was set up with the aim of improving asbestos management in schools.' Michael Lees of the Asbestos in Schools campaign said 'the questionnaire cannot claim to be definitive as, unsurprisingly, few authorities responded 'no' when asked if they are complying with the law. Evidence shows such confidence is often misplaced.'

RMT aims to block 'safety risk' Chunnel trains
Rail union RMT has warned that tests using a Deutsche Bahn ICE (Inter City Express) train in the Channel Tunnel next month could be a first step towards a 'major dilution' of current safety standards. The RMT warning came after Deutsche Bahn senior managers were reported to be seeking major changes to the rail safety regime to accommodate the new trains. Under current safety regulations trains running through the Channel Tunnel must be at least 375 metres long - the DB sets, known as the ICE-3, are only 200 metres long. Current regulations also stipulate that trains must have inter-connecting fire doors to enable in-tunnel evacuation. 'The DB trains do not, creating an immediate and obvious safety risk,' says RMT. 'The trains also fail to match up with the escape system operational in the Channel Tunnel. DB's proposal to simply couple two trains together would compound the problem - making evacuation from one end to the other, essential in tunnel emergency procedures, impossible as the power units would be bang smack in the middle blocking the evacuation route.' RMT general secretary Bob Crow said: 'When Deutsche Bahn complain about red tape stopping them running their trains through the Channel Tunnel what they really mean is specific safety regulations designed to save staff and passenger lives and which have proved successful in recent serious incidents.' He added: 'Their trains are the wrong length for the escape routes, do not have escape doors running throughout and do not have the same smoke and fire resistance times. These aren't petty measures, they are life savers and this attempt to bully the UK and European authorities should be resisted to protect safety standards for travellers and staff deep below the English Channel.'
Hospital staff penalised for going sick
Staff at Manchester hospitals who take more than an agreed number of days off sick are to lose out on annual pay rises. Central Manchester University Hospitals Trust will refuse rises to workers who have taken more than 18 days off sick or had four separate sick absences. Health service union UNISON said the measure, due to take effect on 1 October, is in breach of workers' contracts and will be met with a legal challenge. The union's health organiser, Paul Foley, said: 'The union and staff are outraged by the Trust's punitive action. It is unbelievable that a trust whose duty is to care for the sick and vulnerable should be so uncaring as to financially punish its loyal and hardworking staff. A situation could arise where a member of staff with a serious illness will not only have to battle with their sickness but will also suffer a financial penalty imposed by their employer.' The union was concerned that ill staff would be forced to attend work which could put patients at risk of infection, he said, adding that 'far from saving money for the Trust, this ill thought out policy is likely to cost the Trust thousands of pounds in legal action. Money that should be used for patient care.'
Payout for prison officer injured by inmate
A prison officer at who was injured while trying to restrain an inmate has received £47,500 compensation from the Ministry of Justice. Keith Brown, 55, who still works at HM Prison Dorchester, was put in an unsafe position when he was required to attend the cell of two known violent and disruptive prisoners while working the night shift. In breach of prison procedures and without consulting Mr Brown, the night orderly officer opened the inmate's cell door in the early hours of New Year's Day, 2006. Mr Brown was charged by one of the inmates, and while trying to restrain him sustained a fracture to the base of his right thumb. The tearing fracture did not heal fully, resulting in fibrous scar tissue developing which continues to limit Mr Brown's use of his thumb. This has restricted his role as an officer in the prison service. In a compensation case backed by his union, POA, lawyers argued that the Ministry of Justice, as the employer, was vicariously liable for the night orderly officer's failure to comply with prison procedure and therefore for the injuries Mr Brown suffered as a result. The Ministry admitted liability and agreed to an out of court settlement. POA national chair Colin Moses said: 'The POA will continue to support its members in their fight for justice and to work in safe, secure environments.' He added: 'The constant drive to save money and reduce staff is a false economy as it will result in increasing numbers of Prison Service staff being injured or made ill as a result of their work.'
Union condemns use of no toilet trains
A train company has been branded a 'disgrace' by the rail union RMT after it emerged some of its expanded fleet will have no toilets on board. RMT general secretary Bob Crow condemned 'greedy money-grabbing' bosses on Southern Railways after 13 new trains with no toilets were introduced on the busy Brighton-to-Portsmouth commuter route. 'Southern are a disgrace - there is no corner this crowd won't cut to jack up profits,' he said. 'First it was security cuts leading to a surge in assaults on our members (Risks 474) and now they are axing on-train toilets. All of this is about screwing passengers and staff and maximising the profits of the parent Go-Ahead group. It doesn't take a genius to work out that, if you close on-train toilets, some people will take matters into their own hands turning the carriages into stinking cattle trucks and creating appalling conditions for both passengers and staff.' The union leader added: 'RMT will continue to campaign for Southern and the rest of the rip-off rail franchises to be taken back in to public ownership to end this profit-driven madness.'

BP price surges as spill concerns dissipate
The share price of UK oil multinational BP soared this week after it indicated the leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico had been 'killed'. The company has spent five months attempting to seal its Macondo well, after a 20 April explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig killed 11 workers and triggered an environmental catastrophe. The share price surge came as more optimistic analysts predicted legal claims arising from the disaster could be significantly below the $20bn (£13bn) set aside by BP and a leading US campaign group, Public Citizen, has ended its call for a boycott of the oil company. BP said the disaster, which involved a spill of 4.9m barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, had so far cost the company $9.5bn. Jason Kenney, an oil analyst at ING Barings, said BP's sale of non-core assets to pay for the disaster could, ironically, benefit the company. 'They're still investible; they're still credible; they're very much alive and they could come out of this reinvigorated,' said Kenney, who believes BP is unlikely to face criminal charges for the explosion. 'I think, in time, we'll look back at this and the US will be quite happy with a record financial penalty and not necessarily look at charging BP on a criminal basis.' The outcome of two official US investigations is likely to determine whether BP is judged grossly negligent. Outgoing BP chief executive Tony Hayward last week defended the firm's safety record in the North Sea, insisting recent criticisms had not exposed 'any fundamental weakness'. In his first UK appearance since the Deepwater Horizon explosion, Hayward told a committee of MPs that disaster had been personally 'devastating' because he had made safety the firm's top priority - but he was forced to explain to the Energy and Climate Change Committee why inspections on BP's North Sea installations found some did not comply with guidelines over regular training for operators on how to respond to an incident (Risks 474).

Fire risk alert on timber frame construction
Firefighters, construction workers and the public face a 'significant risk' at sites using timber frame construction methods, fire chiefs have warned. The Chief Fire Officers Association (CFOA) is calling for an urgent review of the Building Regulations following a spate of major blazes at sites using this construction technique. CFOA warned: 'Large timber framed buildings under construction pose a significant risk to firefighters, construction workers and members of the public.' It added: 'The use of timber frame as a method of construction, together with other innovative construction products and techniques has increased markedly in recent years as an alternative to traditional building construction methods. The CFOA is increasingly concerned that a fire involving a timber framed building under construction may result in loss of life.' It added that the government must commission and publish 'as a matter of urgency' research into the problem. CFOA vice president, chief fire officer Peter Holland, warned that contractors should also make sure construction sites are secure from arsonists. He said: 'They need to ensure their security arrangements are robust to reduce the risk of fires being started.'
Call to stop trade in toxic e-waste
The international system intended to stop illegal hazardous waste exports is not working, the head of a UK watchdog has warned. Environment Agency chair Lord Smith called in a speech last week to INTERPOL for a European alliance to tackle the toxic trade in electrical waste into Africa. He said better cooperation and exchange of intelligence across national borders was necessary to stop a crime that poses a 'growing and persistent risk to human health and the environment'. He said the Environment Agency currently provides criminal intelligence on illegal waste exports to 46 countries but has so far received intelligence from only 10 countries in return. The Environment Agency said the illegal export of electrical waste - such as TV, laptops and mobile phones - is the single biggest growth area in environmental crime. Despite 50 million tonnes of e-waste being generated annually worldwide, it says only 10 per cent is being recycled. 'Electrical waste contains toxins including mercury, arsenic and lead, and the health of children in the developing world is being put at risk when this waste is illegally exported and then burnt to recover the valuable metals inside,' Lord Smith said. 'Not only are children being exploited and their health put at risk when they carry out this work, but the toxins are also contaminating air, land and water.' Lord Smith indicated the INTERPOL E-Waste Crime Group would only work if there was more effective exchange of information across borders.
Director fined over mixer death
A building materials manufacturer and its director have been fined a total of £20,000 after a worker was killed by an industrial mixing machine blade. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecuted Bury-based Building Chemical Research (1984) Ltd (BCR) and company director Stuart Reich, 62, following Paul Palmer's death at the company's premises in Radcliffe. The 44-year-old father of one had climbed into the machine - a powerful, slow speed mixer - to clean it on 30 August 2005, when the machine was switched on by another employee. The former soldier suffered horrendous injuries, dying before he could be released by the emergency services. Bolton Crown Court heard the machine was designed so it should not operate if the hatch lid was open, but the system was defective and a switch isolating the power supply had not been turned off. It was the second work related tragedy to strike the family. Mr Palmer's brother, Ted Palmer, said: 'My other brother, John, died from an asbestos disease a few years before Paul, and their deaths have really devastated our family. Paul was just a happy-go-lucky chap. Not a lot fazed him; he just took everything in his stride. It just seems wrong that he survived over a decade in the army and then was killed by a machine in a factory.' He added: 'I can't understand how manufacturing companies can become complacent over health and safety in this day and age. I just hope highlighting Paul's death will stop it happening to someone else.' BCR was fined £16,000 and ordered to pay £8,000 towards the cost of the prosecution. The company's director, Stuart Reich, was fined £4,000 and ordered to pay costs of £2,000. Both admitted criminal safety offences.
Firms fined after ferry drowning
A Sussex port and an Italian shipping company have been fined a total of £185,000 for health and safety failings after a worker drowned at Newhaven Docks. Croydon Crown Court heard that the Sardina Vera ferry, which was owned by Forship S.p.a, had docked at Newhaven late on 12 January 2005 when the incident happened. Sardinian crew member Luigi Feola, 38, was responsible for bringing fresh water on to the ship and was seen carrying a hose along a narrow strip of quay alongside the ship. An hour after the ship had docked someone on board heard a splash in the water and raised the alarm. A search was mounted immediately, but Mr Feola's body was not found until the next day. A post-mortem examination revealed he had suffered a head wound before drowning. An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that the quayside where Mr Feola was working had insufficient edge protection, was not properly lit and the risks of the job had not been properly assessed. The investigation also showed that Mr Feola had been working almost 100 hours a week for Forship S.p.a. After the incident, HSE issued Newhaven Port & Properties Limited with an improvement notice, requiring the company to maintain the quay at Newhaven Docks in a safe condition. However, the company had still failed to comply with the notice by the end of April 2005. HSE inspector Paul Vinnicombe said: 'The lack of proper planning, combined with the appalling state of the quayside at the port, led to the unnecessary death of Mr Feola. On top of that, the risks involved in the job he was asked to do had not been assessed, and he was not give a suitable lifejacket, torch, or radio.' Newhaven Port & Properties Limited pleaded guilty to criminal safety breaches and was fined £85,000 and ordered to pay costs of £34,000. Forship S.p.a pleaded guilty and was fined £100,000 plus costs of £43,782.
Fabric roll crushed agency worker's arm
A Peterborough fabric manufacturer has been fined after a worker's arm was so badly crushed he had to have metal plates inserted to help support his broken bones. Agency worker Robert Dunn, 32, was operating a fabric winding machine on 4 November 2009 when his left arm was drawn into a roll of material and crushed, breaking all three arm bones. He also suffered ripped cartilage in his left knee, caused by the sudden movement. E-Leather Limited was fined £13,500 and ordered to pay £5,000 in costs at Peterborough Magistrates' Court after admitting criminal breaches of the provision and use of work equipment and management regulations. An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found inadequate safety guards and that no sufficient and suitable risk assessment was in place. HSE inspector Alison Ashworth said: 'Robert Dunn suffered a terrible injury because of an incident that was entirely avoidable. Proper safety guards play an important role in protecting workers from dangerous moving parts and the company had a responsibility to ensure suitable guarding was in place. Had a suitable and sufficient risk assessment been carried out then this issue would have been highlighted straight away.'

Australia: Young worker died on insulation project
A construction firm has been fined after a teenage worker died working on a government-backed home insulation scheme. Arrow Property Maintenance Pty Ltd was fined $135,000 (£82,200) on charges relating to the death of 16-year-old insulation installer Reuben Barnes. He was electrocuted while installing fibreglass insulation in the ceiling of a private home in November last year. During the hearing directors of the company said they considered the teenager 'a friend'. Queensland Council of Unions Rockhampton secretary Craig Allen said he thought the comments from Chris and Richard Jackson in court were 'insensitive'. He said if they were friends they would not have allowed Rueben to work without training, at heights, in a house that was electrified and in a situation that was unsafe. Barnes was one of four people who died during the rollout of the government's controversial home insulation programme, which was also blamed for nearly 100 house fires. Unions warned last year that the energy efficiency scheme, part of a government stimulus package, was being compromised by the use of contractors without the skills, training or experience to undertake the work in a safe manner (Risks 435).
Australia: Migrant victims of cut-price industry
Myung Yeol Hwang, a tiler from South Korea, died on 27 August, the day after he walked into the Sydney office of the country's biggest construction union, destitute and in dire need of medical help. Mr Hwang was emaciated and had not washed for weeks. He had no money for a private doctor. He was afraid to go to a public hospital in case authorities discovered he had been working here illegally. He had been moving from one cash-in-hand job to the next in the city's construction industry for 12 years. Three months ago Mr Hwang fell victim to severe respiratory illness, most likely from his tiling work. At first other undocumented workers provided some support. But when his health deteriorated to the point where he could no longer wash or eat, one of the men who had been sheltering him rang the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) for help. The union's Korean liaison officer, Chikmann Koh, brought Mr Hwang in to see the union state secretary, Andrew Ferguson. The pair hurriedly arranged an Immigration Department meeting to try to get the sick man a bridging visa and some medical treatment the next morning. He died before he could make it to those meetings. He was 51. Mr Ferguson said the case was not just an individual tragedy but symptomatic of a deeper malaise in the building industry, where small contractors turned to cut-price and sometimes illegal labour in the growing effort to undercut one another. He said it was almost impossible to hold to account any of the employers who hired Mr Hwang illegally because there was no paper trail. Often the pattern was for such workers to be hired by small subcontractors working for larger employers who did not ask hard questions.
Global: Denim workers fear silica ban won't work
This month's decision by Levi Strauss and H&M to ban the use of a deadly process using silica to sandblast jeans, will not end the practice because many manufacturers will continue the practice in poorer nations. The fabric treatment, which can cause lung-destroying silicosis, has been banned in Turkey (Risks 474). But Abdulhalim Demir, a Turkish denim worker who has been battling the disease since 2007, says many firms made new deals with subcontractors in Pakistan, Egypt and Syria after the Turkish health ministry prohibited the practice. The reason this method has not been abandoned, despite the fatal threat to workers worldwide, is the huge profit sandblasting brings as experts say the price of denim rises in proportion to the amount of sandblasting done. 'It's a very profitable job because it adds a value of 50 per cent to a product,' Professor Zeki K?l?çaslan, a chest physician at Istanbul University, told Hürriyet Daily News. K?l?çaslan said enormous amounts of money were earned by some companies as their workers sandblasted thousands of items for export. 'These denim workers, unaware of the risks, sandblast between 2,000 and 3,000 items of clothing a day over 12 hours,' K?l?çaslan said, noting that some workers were continually exposed to the danger as a result of sleeping in their workshops.
South Africa: Union mobilises a safety 'army'
A mining union has marked last week's anniversary of the 1986 Kinross disaster by launching a R2.7 million (£244,000) health and safety programme and setting out to create an 'army' of union safety activists. National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) president Cedric Gina said South Africa's worst mining disaster 'reaffirmed to many that the safety and lives of workers were secondary to management's pursuit for profits.' A total of 177 miners died when foam used as a sealant caught alight during welding at the Eastern Transvaal mine. Gina said Numsa was still unhappy about working conditions at mines. He said labour department inspections in March last year of 2,410 iron and steel workplaces throughout South Africa found that 1,171 did not comply with health and safety regulations. 'In simple language, close to half of companies that inspectors visited were breaking the laws of the country,' he said. The tragedy, he said, was that employers did not go to jail for negligence or violation of these laws. By the end of October, Numsa hoped to reach 6,000 shop stewards through workshops, manuals, DVDs and posters. It planned to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, with shop stewards reporting any violation. They would be seen as an 'army of health and safety reservists,' said Gina. The union says it will also make sure that every workplace had a Numsa-negotiated health and safety policy and an emergency plan.
USA: Whistleblowers need a new protector
An official US government report critical of the lack of protection provided to workplace safety whistleblowers has led to calls for a new agency to protect workers. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) report concluded the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) had neglected its whistleblower protection role. In response, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) and other whistleblower support organisations have called upon Labor Secretary Hilda Solis to create a separate office to take on the job. PEER executive director Jeff Ruch said OSHA has not yet implemented any of the eight recommendations from a critical 2009 GAO report on the whistleblower programme. He said: 'The bottom line is that millions of American workers remain vulnerable to retaliation as a result of official malfeasance and indifference.' In a statement responding to the GAO report, OSHA head David Michaels said he has undertaken a 'top-to-bottom review' of the programme. 'With our available resources, OSHA is working hard to ensure that whistleblowers are protected from retaliation,' he said, adding OSHA had begun taking action on some of the GAO's recommendations, and was studying others. The OSHA assurances did not satisfy PEER. 'The world's biggest whistleblower programme is in need of real reform, not redecoration. As long as it remains inside OSHA, whistleblower protections will be marginalised,' Ruch said. 'OSHA has too much on its plate and should free itself of the functions that it has demonstrated that it cannot do.'

USA: Chemical giant denies brain cancer link
A high profile legal case is to cast doubt on industry evidence claiming that vinyl chloride exposure is not linked to brain cancer. Joanne Branham says she believes environmental exposure to the chemical is the cause of the brain cancer that took the life of her husband, Franklin, six years ago. She blames the vinyl chloride that they were exposed to for nearly four decades while living in the village of McCullom Lake, Illinois, a mile downwind from a chemical plant operated by Philadelphia-based Rohm and Haas. His death was one of an unexpectedly large number in the vicinity of the plant, with 31 cases scheduled to go before the courts. Commenting as the Branham legal case started this week in a Philadelphia court, a Rohm & Haas spokesperson said the company 'believes that these claims are factually and scientifically unfounded, and for this reason, will continue to vigorously defend these cases.' There is a precedent, however. In what is believed to be the only successful lawsuit in the United States alleging that vinyl chloride exposure caused brain cancer, a jury in 2006 awarded $1.2 million (£770,000) to the widow of 57-year-old Donald Lattin, who had worked at a Shell Chemical plant near Trenton, New Jersey; the case was subsequently settled for an undisclosed sum. Mr Lattin succumbed in 2003 to a type of brain cancer called glioblastoma multiforme. Aaron Freiwald, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, believes he can prove that an industry-funded study on which the company is expected to rely is flawed. His investigation indicates that the study of more than 10,000 workers at vinyl chloride plants, begun in 1973 and updated most recently by epidemiologist Kenneth Mundt in the 1990s, failed to include as many as two dozen fatal cases of brain cancer. 'Instead of the Mundt study being something that Rohm and Haas and other chemical companies can point to as casting doubt on the link between vinyl chloride and brain cancer, it would become very strong evidence of that link,' Freiwald said.

Brandon Jones- Jones is the guy that most people think is going to step up and be the #1 receiver. He is the only returning receiver to have double digit catches from last season (27). Jones was having a great rookie season that got cut short by an ACL injury. Most people say it takes two full years to come back from an ACL injury. Jones showed flashes of being back last year but was obviously not 100%. I look for Jones to return to the form he showed early in his rookie season and have a great year.
Courtney Roby- Roby was drafted in the same class as Brandon Jones and Roydell Williams. Roby hasn't done much to this point in his NFL career, but he is having a great camp. If he continues the good play he could challenge to be the third receiver.
Roydell Williams- A lot of people said the Titans got the steal of the draft when they took Williams in 2005. He has suffered a lot of injuries that have kept him off the field. Of the returning receivers from the 2006 roster Williams had the most receiving yards behind Jones with 121. His roster spot could be in jeopardy though if he cannot get on the field and make some plays this preseason.
Justin Gage- Gage was signed in the offseason from the Chicago Bears. Gage had 31 catches for the Bears in 2005 but only 4 in 2006. He missed some time early in camp with a toe injury so he is going to need to prove himself in the upcoming preseason games.
Jonathan Orr- Orr was a late round draft pick in 2006. He spent most of the season on the practice squad. The Titans drafted Orr based on his potential. He is going to get every shot to show that he can make the plays necessary to be an NFL receiver. That being said, he seems to be a long shot to make this roster.
Paul Williams- Williams was the Titans' 3rd round draft pick in this year's draft. He shows the most potential of the three rookies that were drafted. His play was a bit inconsistent in college but he showed that he has big play ability. The Titans view Williams as a bit of a project. Anything they get from him in 2007 will be gravy.
Chris Davis- Davis is the second of the three receivers drafted in 2006. He seems to be a lock to make the roster because of his return ability. It also appears that he and Roby are the front runners for the slot position. He is a small, shifty receiver that will remind Titans' fans of a young Derrick Mason.
Joel Filani- Filani had the most prolific college career of the 3 receivers the Titans drafted this year. He has had a quiet camp so far. If he doesn't step his play up he could be in jeopardy of not making it through the cuts as well.
Biren Ealy- Ealy was signed by the Titans as an undrafted free agent. He played high school ball with Vince Young and college ball at the University of Houston. He has made some plays in camp. It is not likely that he will make the roster, but he has probably made enough plays to earn a spot on the practice squad.
On opening day you will probably see Moulds and Jones as the #1 and #2 receivers with Roby as the slot receiver. A lot of people are down on the Titans because of the guys at receiver, but I think receiver will prove to not be as weak of a position as many of the so called experts think.

Katy Perry: 2012 ASCAP Pop Awards Pretty
Posted Thursday April 19, 2012 9:13 AM GMT
She's always up for a good shindig, and last night (April 18) Katy Perry was in the house for the 2012 ASCAP Pop Music Awards.
The "I Kissed a Girl" songstress showed up at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood, sporting a beautiful art deco-style gown as she posed for the press.
And it was a big night for Katy, who nabbed a trophy for her hit song "E.T." as did her producing trio of Max Martin, Ammo, and Dr. Luke.
Speaking of Max Martin, the Swedish hitmaker took home the coveted title of Songwriter of the Year.
Enjoy the pictures of Katy Perry at the 29th Annual ASCAP Pop Music Awards (April 18).

As Colin Kaepernick makes his fourth NFL start and Aldon Smith chases the single season sack record, the 49ers play host to the Dolphins in what should be an interesting matchup. Quarterback Alex Smith was not at midfield for the coin toss the way he was last week. Also, disgruntled 49ers running back Brandon Jacobs is not active today. Wide receiver Mario Manningham is inactive as well with a shoulder injury. Rookies LaMichael James and A.J. Jenkins are both active; James for the first time this season.
First quarter
The 49ers receive, but cannot drive downfield and are forced to punt.
The Dolphins come out firing with a deep pass from Ryan Tannehill to Brian Hartline, but the drive stalls and Miami punts. The 49ers will take over deep inside their own territory.
The 49ers pick up a first down, but Kaepernick is sacked by Cameron Wake and the 49ers have to punt again. Thus far, the game looks like each team is still feeling each other out.
The Dolphins are threatening now after some big receptions by Davone Bess. First and goal for the Dolphins after a running back screen. A false start by the Dolphins left tackle Jonathan Martin filling in for Jake Long takes the Dolphins outside of the ten yard line. Then, their right tackle commits a false start, backing them up to the 17 yard line. A run up the middle by Reggie Bush takes the game to the end of the quarter.
Second quarter
Aldon Smith opens the quarter by sacking Tannehill for his 18 1/2 sack of the year. On third and goal, the 49ers stop Bush, forcing the Dolphins to kick a field goal. Dolphins 3, 49ers 0
James gets his first NFL carry of his career for a gain of 10. He runs again for a short gain, but the Dolphins hit him late and commit a personal foul. Combined with a couple of receptions by Michael Crabtree, the 49ers are marching downfield. Jenkins has also entered the game, giving him his first playing time of the season too. With a Frank Gore run, the 49ers are just outside the 10 yard line knocking on the door of the endzone. The 49ers cannot pick up the first down to get a set of downs on goal, and are forced to kick a field goal like always. David Akers, who has struggled lately, makes the kick. 49ers 3, Dolphins 3
Randy Moss had some big catches for the 49ers, but the clock management and third down playcalling in the redzone cause the 49ers to have to settle for another field goal. This is why I believe Alex Smith was not the problem for the 49ers third down woes, but the offense in general. 49ers 6, Dolphins 3
Third quarter
The Dolphins receive to start the second half, but to no avail. They go three and out and punt the ball back to the 49ers.
The 49ers are forced to punt as well, but a muffed punt by the Dolphins gives the ball back to San Francisco. Two rushing plays later, Gore punches it in for the touchdown. 49ers 13, Dolphins 3
The Dolphins respond with a 56 yard kick return. They march down field long enough to convert on a 53-yard field goal. 49ers 13, Dolphins 6
Fourth quarter
A Frank Gore-led drive helps the 49ers distance themselves from the Dolphins, as Anthony Dixon punches it in from the 1 yard line. 49ers 20, Dolphins 6
The Dolphins go for it on fourth and goal and convert, bringing the game to within one score. 49ers 20, Dolphins 13
Miami could have a real chance now, as the 49ers could not do much after the Dolphins score. After a bad punt by Andy Lee, the Dolphins start in good field position. The possession doesn't amount to anything though, and the Dolphins turn it over on downs.
Kaepernick puts the nail in the coffin, as he scampers on a quarterback option run and scores. 49ers 27, Dolphins 13
Aldon Smith picks up another sack, giving him 19 and a half on the season, which leads the NFL and is a franchise record. After a couple of kneel downs in victory formation, the 49ers officially put the game away. Final: 49ers 27, Dolphins 13Tags: Football, NFL, San Francisco, San Francisco 49ers

Looking to buy headers
Hey guys, I have a 99 tj 4.0 and Im looking to buy headers for performance and sound reasons. Any tips? anyone selling? Things to avoid?
Thanks for the help
Your TJ 4.0L did not come with an exhaust manifold if that's what you're thinking, it came with headers right from the factory.
Both Banks and Borla have earned reputations for their 4.0L headers cracking for the same reason the early TJ's headers cracked... engine torque flexing them. Jeep fixed the problem with the OE headers by adding a pair of steel flex joints where they were cracking but neither Banks nor Borla have bothered to do the same on their standard headers. Banks finally came out with their Revolver header that is supposed to be crack resistant but I sure wouldn't replace your OE header with one unless what you have is cracked and in need of replacement.
For Borla click on Google search results... cracked Borla headers
Jerry's right! No need to replace a stock header that has flex joints unless you want to do the job twice. :-)
one set of factory headers per year for 3 years all cracked, got tired of paying the labor for the parts were free, put a borla header on an wow felt more response and a deep growl, that was 6 years ago, no crack in mine yet, million mile warranty, been in 100 to 10 degree weather, should of done it right away.
I have banks power full exhaust. Including headers. No cracks yet. Lifetime warranty I believe. Atleast on rusting and defects, which should include cracks
WAIT: CONFUSED.. is the OEM for my 99 TJ a flex part
is the OEM now fitted with a flex portion to stop the tendency to crack?
or do I need to go with a later OEM, ??
I have a cracked exhaust manifold to replace.
dan kennison
the oem with the flex portion crack but not there, dont waste your time withone, do a banks or borla, or do it again a year later.
The updated factory design with the flex joints is well known to hold up, it certainly did for me after the three previous non-flex joint headers cracked. :)
About 2 and a half years ago I bought the Banks Torque Tube Headers. About 6 months ago, they started leaking. Climbed underneath...and sure enough 2 nice cracks in the headers (I would post pics if I was at my computer at home). I called the warranty and they sent me a new set...which are the new Revolver headers. They have been on for probably 4 months...no issues yet (minus a bolt that started backing out, creating a leak...my fault though). Only time will tell if the Revolvers fix the cracking problem.:popcorn:
I replaced the stock set with the Banks 2 years ago (after probably 20000 miles) due to a crack.
So unless the Revolver headers fix the cracking issue...the flex joints make more sense. $100ish for stock replacements and 11 years of abuse...or $300ish for Banks and 2 years of abuse...hmmm.
I dont know about you guys but replacing headers is a crappy job...I hate it. I rather not being doing it every 2 years.
Banks' and Borla's headers are both well known for cracking on the 4.0L. Banks had to come out with the beefed up Revolver design to stop theirs from cracking. For what their headers cost I would sure just go with the updated factory design header with the pair of flex joints... they are well known to hold up fine.
Thankfully Banks has an awesome warranty and is easy to work with...now I can only hope these Revolvers hold up like they are supposed to.
Uh, how do you tell if you have flex joints. I am taking my 97 on a long road trip in march and am trying to bullet proof and fix any problems that could arise. I was looking at a header because I hear they crack
1 Attachment(s)
Did a rebuild in 09 and put BANKS Pro Power 2" headers and all. Stored my TJ for 13 months in NC while I was "out of town" then picked it up and back to daily driver. End state is less than 3 years and minimal miles I have multiple cracks and need to replace now. Jerry is right, usually is and BANKS simply makes too much money on other products to be concerned with Jeep owners. Gonna try to get replacement from BANKS with warranty but not recomending them if you have not spent the $$ yet.
If these are all cracking from engine movement, why not find some solid poly motor mounts or at a minimum motor mount inserts to keep the motor from moving so much? If anything you can fill the oem mounts with window weld and it will also help.
Most people install headers for power gains. That's is the only reason I would install a set. Which may happen eventually.
Not many with experience with polyurethane engine mounts will recommend them... which is why aftermarket motor mount manufacturers like Brown Dog who initially only had polyurethane mounts later ended up adding rubber mounts. Polyurethane transmits engine vibrations that are isolated with rubber mounts which is why OE manufacturers use only rubber mounts. My first aftermarket engine mounts from Currie used polyurethane and I was happy later when I was able to replace them with rubber mounts.
I have personal experience with Energy Suspension motor mount inserts, and have been in 2 different cars that were running poly mounts. I know what the difference feels like. But in order to remove the horrendous spring bolt design from my car I needed to stiffen my mounts up when I replaced my entire system from the head back.
As for power gains from a 4.0 header system, I don't know. Haven't done enough research to see what the gains are, where they are, and if there are any. I am toying with the idea but they are pretty far down on my mod list for right now.
Not to mention the TJ's 4.0L engine comes with headers from the factory, not a cast exhaust manifold.
Also, that is kind of like saying the oem exhaust is fine and can't be replaced to free up power.
The cracking is a drawback, unless you take the necessary steps to keep the engine movement at a minimum.
Again, this all boils down to what you want out of your vehicle.
