By Tiffany Rider - Senior Writer
June 04, 2013 - After nearly seven years at California State University, Long Beach, President F. King Alexander is leaving The Beach this month to pursue a new leadership role. Local elected officials, business people and educators agree that Alexander has been a tremendous asset to the university and its students and to the community. He has bestowed a legacy of commitment to public education, student leadership and community involvement in Long Beach.
One of Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster's final actions during his tenure on the California State University Board of Trustees was to chair the search committee for a new president of CSULB. That was 2005. Foster told the Business Journal Alexander was "head and shoulders above anybody we looked at." Alexander had big shoes to fill – those of the beloved Bob Maxson who Foster said did a great job at the university. "King managed it his own way and his own style, and really kept the momentum at Long Beach State as well as become as, if not more, regarded than Bob was."
During the economic recession, which ran through most of Alexander's time here, he not only successfully led the university through difficult times, he continued advocating for state and federal funding of public higher education, often drawing the ire of state officials. During this period, the university experienced record enrollment, graduation rates increased, the endowment grew and new facilities opened, including the Hall of Science and the Student Recreation and Wellness Center.
Although Foster admitted the move to serve as president and chancellor of Louisiana State University is probably a good one for Alexander and his career, he said he would miss him. "The students love him. The faculty gets along well with him. He's been a real force on the trustees – to be able to improve access and keep the system affordable. He's a wealth of data on education and what it produces. He's a very accomplished man. I consider him a friend. He's got a great sense of humor. I understand why he's going. He's given us about seven years of great service. He's done an awful lot for the sports program, too. He really has brought it up several notches. You would not have the competitive basketball program they have without him. I'll miss him."
In an interview with the Business Journal, Alexander discussed the challenges and accomplishments during his tenure as president of CSULB.
LBBJ: What was it about CSULB that drew you to the campus in 2006?
Alexander: Its size. The scale of the operation. It's a beautiful campus. The diversity of Long Beach and of the campus' student body. It's been a real thrill to know and work with student government. They are leaders in more ways than they know. They are leaders as they represent students on campus but, more importantly, the demographics around here are 15 years ahead of the rest of the country. It is where the rest of the country will be 15 years from now.
LBBJ: You came on board during a time of financial hardship at the university and at the cusp of the economic downturn. What would you say has been your toughest challenge dealing with budget cuts?
Alexander: Managing the budget through the worst budget reductions in our history. Not being able to get the State of California to function like it should in supporting public education at all levels. Not being able to reward people for such a high level of achievement in terms of the largest graduating classes in our history – not just enrolling students. The last eight graduating classes have been the largest graduating classes in the university's history at an increase of nearly 2,000 from where we were a decade ago. Everybody has been remarkably supportive and committed.
LBBJ: What goals did you have when you were first brought on as president of the university?
Alexander: Certainly focusing on graduating our students, not just enrolling them [was a major goal]. I'm pleased to say this past year we are at our highest rate. It's almost 57 percent at six years and about 70 percent at seven years. You compare that to the last bad economy . . . in the early 1990s . . . those entering classes had graduating rates at 22 percent and 24 percent. When I got here it was about 44 percent. With the budget reductions that hit us, we were still able to maintain positive growth for our students.
LBBJ: CSULB has a growing number of scholars making the university a top choice school. How do you think CSULB achieved this national recognition?
Alexander: We have worked hard to expand our reputation beyond California. We are now one of the universities that is called by the New York Times, USA Today, Chronicle of Higher Education. When they think about California issues, they call us. It's not just Berkeley and UCLA. Previously, that wasn't the case at all. They just didn't even know all of the schools out in California, how big they are in scale and what they are doing. . . . We've been in their face in Washington. When they picked six public universities to meet with the President of the United States about who is doing a good job in public higher education, we were one of them. We sat at the table with University of Texas and the University of North Carolina. We were the only California institution to be at that table. I hope we maintain that momentum.
LBBJ: How do you see the state of education in California, and in the nation? Do you feel the leadership in the state has impacted the CSU system?
Alexander: I think the state has paid very little attention to public education and has forced not only our schools, but also public colleges and public universities to tread water while demand has never been higher from students. In some ways, we've had to tread water while losing our budgets. In California, just this last year, we fell from 24th in tax efforts to support education to 29th in the country. The only two southern states that are behind us are Virginia and Florida, which means support in California has fallen below Mississippi, West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama. People need to wake up. People like to think that California is at the top of its game all the time. But when this is happening to the next generation of students and children, then there is a quiet decimation of one of the best public school and university systems in the world.
On the national scale, things are continuing to erode. But that is the biggest issue in higher education – an overall abandonment on the part of states to fund their public education institutions. We are at 1963 levels nationwide in terms of funding based on the per capita wealth of the nation, which is a percentage of your income that goes to support higher education. That should be alarming to most people. That's why we spend a lot of time in Washington, to make sure that federal dollars have strings attached so the states have to behave more appropriately if they are going to collect federal monies. That proved very effective for us, especially for California, when the stimulus monies came out.
For instance, what the stimulus money did for us – besides save the Hall of Science and teaching jobs – is we attached a provision to the stimulus money. It passed by one vote, in conference, between the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives. It was John Tierney, who chimed into my congressional testimony on this issue. I asked for a Maintenance of Effort provision. Maintenance of Effort says that if we are included in the funding, the stimulus funding, you need to put a provision in there that says the states can't pull their money out and supplant it.
In all three stimulus packages, the ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) funds, the provision said you can only take stimulus money for education if you don't cut higher education below the 2006 funding level. California immediately cut it to the 2006 funding level but would not cut it any further in order to avoid federal penalties – to give back that money. So we sat there for about two and a half years at the 2006 level. If that weren't there, they would have cut us to 1996 levels. That's exactly what happened when the stimulus money stopped. There was no more federal leverage, so they dropped us to 1996 funding levels. Using federal leverage works so darn well. That's what I'm fighting for now.
LBBJ: What is the state of the university's relationship with the community? What more can be done?
Alexander: It's been great. I can't find anybody in Long Beach who doesn't like California State University, Long Beach. I think perhaps the biggest value of not just working with our civic leaders and others, has been our partnership with the schools. The Long Beach College Promise [helping local high school graduates prepare for, enter and complete college] and our relationship with [Long Beach Unified School District Superintendent] Chris Steinhauser and [Long Beach City College President] Eloy Oakley is absolutely a national model. We've met with so many cities and so many organizations to try to replicate this – from San Francisco to Des Moines, from Atlanta to Fresno. They just want to do what we're doing. The White House said it is the best urban partnership in the country. I think our community knows it.
LBBJ: If there were one thing you could have done differently, what would it be?
Alexander: I would say it's not getting the state budget to turn around and appropriately support us, because our success is not being rewarded. At the federal level, it's not getting the G.I. bill changed. I've been working on that since it came out. Right now it supports high cost institutions and gives institutions the ability to benefit by raising fees and tuition more. So we benefit the least. I'm going to keep fighting those fights. That's disappointing.
LBBJ: What has been your greatest achievement as president of the university?
Alexander: It is this university becoming a national model for what should be done the right way, and by that I mean our highest graduation rates, our largest graduation numbers, and doing it with the lowest student debt in America. The degrees we're granting are still very valuable in the marketplace. We have quietly become a national model. That's why we were invited to the White House, because we were able to do things a lot of schools say they can't do. We're not the cause of the college cost crisis. We are not the cause of the student indebtedness – the $1 trillion issue. We are not the cause of the problems that have been created in American higher education. We are actually one of the good guys in all of this. When they differentiate the good guys from the bad guys, we are standing there as one of the best in the country.
LBBJ: What were you anticipating your future to be when you came to Long Beach?
Alexander: Just building on the strengths of the university and tackling the weaknesses of it. We needed to build our endowment. We've gone from $24 million to $50 million. That's a first time for us. We've built up our research capacity. We nearly reached $50 million in research funding for the first time in our history last year. Those are just two highlighted weak areas that we had.
LBBJ: Did you think you would potentially be a successor to the chancellor of the CSU?
Alexander: There were a lot of inquiries about that but I didn't apply. I think the dynamics were changing a little too much. I'm glad Tim is there. I'm glad we got Tim White. At some point I thought about that a lot, but at the time of the chancellor's departure and the dynamics of state changes, I thought it was best to stay close to home here and stay on campus.
LBBJ: If you could leave a note for the next president, what are the top three things you would tell him or her about the campus?
Alexander: Don't forget about our students. Don't forget about our students. And don't forget about our students. Everything else falls in place. We have 36,000 students, but don't make it feel that way. Make it feel much smaller, a much better family.
LBBJ: What legacy do you want to leave at CSULB?
Alexander: I think that our campus has never been more attractive to students. Our students are achieving their goals in record numbers and record rates. I hope that continues. Our students have better facilities. They are here more often, and they want to be here more often. That is a combination of feeling safe on campus and getting what you want on campus. Ultimately, I hope that we have achieved a big part of the goal, which is to shake off the commuter crutch. I thought we used the crutch of being a commuter school for too long. It was a crutch that disadvantaged our students. Our engagement with the community has never been stronger. We moved the Southern California Special Olympics here. The Relay for Life is here. All of the thousands of hours thousands of our students put into the community – our students are everywhere.

Have It Your Way: Urban Now Matches Lipstick To Anything (Yes, Anything)
While the customized movement in fashion makes us think we're getting something special and personalized, too often it leaves us wanting more (we guess you could call that entitlement). For those who like things "just so," there's now Urban Outfitters' new custom makeup color mail-in program, which is just as awesome as it sounds. Looking for a lipstick to match your favorite dress? A gloss in the same shade as that sunset you snapped outside your window? A hue (that no one makes) to complement your go-to nail polish? Now you can send in color samples in any form (fabric swatches, objects, images), and have Urban make it into a lipstick or lip gloss. (According to Nylon, you can even send in your favorite discontinued cosmetics, and they'll re-create them.) For $55, you get three tubes, which, as far as the customized thing goes, is a very good price for it all. What do you think? We're already exploding with ideas to send in! [Nylon]

5. Best Music Festival Hairstyle: Inverted French Braids
Love music festivals, but hair all the dust and sweat that go along with them? Keep your mane under control and worry-free with a few funky, chunky, inverted French braids. Inverted French braids aren't as hard as they look—promise. In fact, they're more or less like regular French braids, so if you've got those mastered, you'll get this style down in no time flat. All you have to do is start your French braid the way you normally would, but instead of folding each section of hair OVER, tuck it UNDER instead. Put as many of them as you like in—there are no rules when it comes to the festival circuit!

To add to this, checking IP address provides a check that might give a tiny bit more confidence, but it's not a solid security solution, and fails in a variety of situations more common than anon proxies (NAT, firewalls, shared machines, hijacked wire links, some wireless roaming...). Regarding continuations, I think that the normal case is that the continuations correspond to a single session with a single human/robot. The purity of the model that lets other humans/robots also invoke continuations from the session is appealing in one sense, but stored continuations are ephemeral anyway, and unless session hijacking this way is a desired feature in a particular application, I suggest that always precluding it with the authentication mechanism is the way to go. Unless you always pair a continuation ID with an authentication mechanism (or perhaps the continuation ID *is* the authentication token), putting the ID in the URL exposes it a lot of places that cookies do not, including on the link and in various HTTP proxies and logs that look at requests. Even if you use SSL, I don't have 100% trust that the URLs themselves are hidden, as some browsers will leak request URLs in the clear under some circumstances. Also, here's no reason that the non-session-specific information about pages can't be exposed in RESTful URLs, too, so that, say, user A could email to user B a URL to a page of photos without getting the continuation-based session context. That's the preferred Web way of doing things, and you just need to consider canonical URLs for resources when doing information design for your site. These are off-the-cuff, casual comments, not researched. I'm sure that Untyped or YC could investigate these concerns and address if necessary. Full disclosure: Untyped and I have collaborated a bit, and I hope to work with them more in the future.

The scene that popped into mind was,
"Niedermeyer, dead!"
Or maybe ...
Yeah, I like the Jesus driving the money changers out of the Temple imagery.
Or, perhaps, the powerful moral authority one. That's nice, too:
But, no, I think my favorite is the kickass one:
Febreze? I think they will need industrial strength bleach and sand blasters. I believe they should be charged rent at the government rate, say 50,000$ a day?
And I don't want to hear any of that "We can be here cuz it's a public building." crap either. The post office is a public building and I cannot just go camp out in there for a couple weeks.
All that's missing is a fire in the middle of the circle of drummers-- who's great idea was that---natives dancing to drum beats????---- Makes a person wonder who gave birth to these people and brung um up? Bet they're proud of their span--- do they do that in their own homes?
I guess that's why we did all the "rhythm Band" stuff in school.....that's all they have.....and these are the people that are supposed to be getting our sons and daughters ready for the world......
I think every government building ought to have flush capabilities.....
DougM...Jesus tossing tables....that's JR's favorite one too :)
That drum circle crap? Does anyone really think those "people" are hard working union members??????
Same bongo drum beating no-talent scuzzy assholes I saw in '68. It never changes. "Les take some bongos to the protest maannnn, it'll help us get some chicks".
Bongos and bongs--
wait… Are those their "honey-buckets" they're dancing around?
Cue the Toad in 3, 2, 1…
Start tossing bars of deodorant soap in there.
That might make them scatter--at least squirm. . .
I wonder of these folks showed up

Go to: Finals Commentary Games Players Photos Profiles Standings Teams Press
Congratulations to the 2001 World Champion, Brian Cappelletto!
Back to WSC 2001 Live Coverage
Go to: Before Round 1, Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, Round 4, Round 5, Round 6, Round 7, Round 8, Round 9, Round 10, Round 11, Round 12, Round 13, Round 14, Round 15, Round 16, Round 17, Round 18, Round 19, Round 20, Round 21, Round 22, Round 23, Round 24, Final Game 1, Final Game 2, Final Game 3, Final Game 4.Round 16
At table 2, Brian Cappelletto (United States) defeated Andrew Davis (England), 469-340. In this game, Andrew opened with JUTE. Brian's repsonse was to play PHOnIER beneath that play for 79 points. While Andrew later got down EnCORES, he couldn't keep up with Brian's plays of SILOXANE for 66 and RANTERS for 67.
At table 4, Adam Logan (Canada) beat Joe Edley (United States), 506-424, which brings Adam to a three-way tie for first place. This just gets more interesting every round.
I observed word judge Luise Shafritz take a challenge at table 3. Naween Tharanga Fernando (Sri Lanka) challenged his opponent's play: AURATEs/MZEEs. It was ruled acceptable and Pakorn Nemitrmansuk (Thailand) breathed a visible sigh of relief. On the way to Naween's win, 568-312, he played SALTIERS from the first S for 85 on the triple lane, MIXTUReS from the M for 101, ANECDOTE through the first E for 72, and PRIMINE for 76. Pakorn's best play was the late challenged duo up above.
David Webb (England) and Joel Sherman (United States) had a six 8-letter bingo game, which Joel won, 533-421. As he was filling out his paperwork, Joel drily said, "I've got Frankenstein on this board." Sure enough, there was BOLTHEAD through the E for 84. He also got down FAIRWAyS through the I for 76 and GAINABLE through the first A for 72. David's plays were FRESCADE to the E for 100 (off Joel's opening play!), TALESMEN through the S for 72, and DIPTERON through the P for 74. Worth mentioning is Joel's play of QUEZAL for 52, followed two turns later with ASCOT on the triple line hooking the S and making QUEZALS for 49.
At the end of day 2, the top 4 players are the same as they were at the start of the day!
Joel Wapnick (World Champion) 13-3 +1089 Adam Logan (Canada) 13-3 +812 Brian Cappelletto (United States) 13-3 +797 Pakorn Nemitrmansuk (Thailand) 12-4 +173
And places 17-25 are all North American players.

located above a beautifully refurbished pub, the hostel is new and has 3 tier bunks in dorm rooms for an excellent price. internet works in the dorm. clapham junction overground station is a short stroll away and it is only a few stops from there to the city centre. there is a 24 hour aldi supermarket close by. breakfast was really good providing a choice of cereals, tea coffee and hot chocolate, toast with lots of toppings

This hostel is more of a hotel. Really good location close to trams buses and trains. Walking distance to many excellent restaurants and cafes, as well as major tourist sites. The signage is lacking a bit at street level - there are 3 hostels located off the one courtyard

At all Hall County and Gainesville schools in which mathematics II End of Course Tests scores were reported this year, the percentage of students to exceed the standard is zero.
The picture is not much different statewide, where only 12 of the approximately 150 schools tested managed to break zero percent, and none reached 10 percent.
Only a small number of students, ranging from three to 35 per school, participated in the mathematics II test in Gainesville and Hall County. Scores were reported only for the four schools in which 10 or more students participated: Lanier Career Academy, East Hall High School, Wood's Mill High School and Gainesville High School.
Of these, the highest Mathematics II scores were at Gainesville High, where 29.2 percent met the standard. The lowest were at East Hall, where only 5.6 percent met the standard.
Kevin Bales, director of middle and secondary education for Hall County Schools, said the mathematics II test is not only more difficult than other End of Course Tests subject areas, but requires students to answer a greater percentage of questions correctly in order to meet the standard.
"It's not so much math scores are plummeting as we're expecting more," said Bales. "We continue to watch our math End of Course assessments closely because they're much more rigorous."
Results for the other subject areas tested show a strong contrast to scores in math. In physical science, economics, ninth-grade literature, U.S. history, American literature and biology, many schools had more students exceed the standard than fail to meet it.
In the other two mathematical subject areas, analytic geometry and coordinate algebra, only a few schools had zero percent of students exceeding standards. The highest percentage exceeding the standard for analytic geometry was 9.2 percent at Wood's Mill High School.
For coordinate algebra, the highest percentage was 9.8 at North Hall High School. Mathematics II scores for North Hall were not reported.
"The district is pleased with results from both of our high schools," said Sarah Bell, chief academic officer for Gainesville City Schools.
Bell said the district is particularly pleased with improved scores in literature at Wood's Mill High School, where the district has been using a new program. Scores were especially improved in ninth-grade literature at Wood's Mill, where 60 percent met or exceeded expectations in 2013, up to 91 percent in 2014.
"Woods Mill High School has put a strong blended learning program in place in the content area of English, and the results show us that this program is working," Bell said.
Bales said he is especially proud of the scores in biology at Chestatee High School and physical science at Johnson High School.
"There are several areas where we have schools that continue to do extremely well," he said. "Now we will comb through the data sets to identify our strengths and identify our weaknesses."
The highest scores for each subject area outside of mathematics in both districts were at C.W. Davis Middle School, where 98.6 percent exceeded the standard for physical science and 94 percent exceeded the standard for ninth-grade literature; Flowery Branch High School, where 79.4 percent exceeded the standard for economics and 48.9 percent exceeded the standard for American literature; Johnson High School, where 57.1 percent of students exceeded the standard in U.S. history; and Chestatee High School, where 44.9 percent of students exceeded the standard in biology.
The subjects in which standards were met or exceeded most often were physical science, where all standards were met or exceeded 100 percent of the time at five of the 14 schools for which scores were reported, and ninth-grade literature, in which standards were met or exceeded 100 percent of the time at six of the 17 schools for which scores were reported.
The tests were administered at the end of the 2013-2014 school year and in some cases counted as part of students' final grades. In the 2014-2015 school year, students will take the new Georgia Milestones test, which will include a combination of multiple-choice and open-ended questions, and the End of Course Tests will no longer be used.

Eric J. Hartman, 37, of Tammery Drive in Tallmadge, was sentenced to eight years in prison March 20 after he pleaded guilty in January to three counts of pandering sexually oriented material, a felony of the second degree; two counts of sexual battery, a felony of the third degree; extortion, a felony of the third degree; and three counts of pandering sexually oriented material, a felony of the fifth degree.
He was also labeled a Tier III sex offender, which requires him to register his address and place of employment every 90 days for the rest of his life, according to a March 21 release from Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh's office.
Hartman was sentenced by Judge Tammy O'Brien.
The release stated that Hartman forced a female friend to open several credit cards, which he then maxed out, and coerced the woman, who is developmentally delayed, to have sex with him. While on house arrest for those crimes, Hartman became the subject of an investigation by the Internet Crimes Against Children task force, the release stated. Hartman admitted to downloading child pornography over the course of two months, according to the release.

Three months from September 14, the union-backed factional bosses who installed
But this calculus of self-interest is now being challenged by signs the devastation could extend to the Gillard camp's strongholds of Victoria and South Australia. That threatens the longer-term interests of the factional leaders who plan to maintain control over the party from opposition, most noticeably, Victorian frontbencher, former Australian Workers Union federal secretary and likely post-election Labor leader
It is in their interests to avoid a
This new narrative follows last week's dire opinion polls and the re-emergence of Kevin Rudd's leadership aspirations. It has crystallised further after veteran political columnist Geoff Kitney wrote in AFR Weekend that Mr Shorten's responsibility to the party meant he and other prominent Gillard supporters must restore Mr Rudd to the leadership. What would appear to be an incredible turn of events is less remarkable when cast as the simple truth that Mr Rudd remains far more personally popular than the deputy whom the factional warlords installed in his place. That makes it likely – but not certain – that a reinstated Mr Rudd could limit Labor's losses even amid the renewed tumult it would cause within the party.
The complications for Mr Shorten and others begin with the likelihood that Ms Gillard will never agree to fall on her sword. Second, the debacle of Mr Rudd's non-contest of a Labor leadership ballot in March confirmed his vow not to formally challenge. While this could change, he demands to be drafted back to the Labor leadership. And, third, one of Mr Rudd's conditions could well be the disempowering of the factional warlords who deposed him in the first place. While this would vindicate the wronged former leader, it also is a critically needed internal reform of Australia's left-of-centre political duopolist that has been urged by party elders but dismissed by Ms Gillard. While former prime minister
The other complication extends from this newspaper's weekend conclusion that Labor's failure stems from its abandonment of any genuine program to generate productivity-led economic growth. The failure further stems from its inability to maintain a Labor coalition of post-Whitlam inner-city left-progressives and a traditional working class base that has migrated to the aspirational suburbs.
Perhaps more than any other issue, this coalition has been torn apart by asylum-seekers. In 2007, Mr Rudd campaigned for an end to mandatory detention and other aspects of the deterrence regime observed unswervingly by the Howard government since the 2001 Tampa election. When deposed, Mr Rudd warned that Ms Gillard would take asylum-seeker policy back to the Howard right. Yet Ms Gillard's fumbling efforts to couch this as part of a regional solution have failed to prevent the surge in the number of arrivals and those who have tragically drowned before they could get here. So, 12 years on from the Tampa election, Labor is about to be punished again for its boat people policy.
It is not for The Australian Financial Review to say who federal Labor parliamentarians should choose to lead them. But it is clear their leadership choices have contributed to a political failure of immense proportions that affects all Australians.

PARIS - UNESCO is in its "worst ever financial situation" after its biggest contributor the United States froze funding last year, the director general of the United Nations' cultural agency said on Thursday.
The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization was plunged into crisis in October 2011 when Washington, an ally of Israel, cancelled its grant in protest at the body's decision to grant the Palestinians full membership.
The UN body has been forced to slash spending, freeze job hires and cut programs after losing the US funding, which had made up 22 percent of its budget, UNESCO's Irina Bokova told reporters.
The organization, which designates World Heritage sites, promotes global education and supports press freedom among other tasks, had started the year with a deficit of $150 million out of $653 million for its budget over 2012 and 2013, Bokova said.
"It's crippling our capacity to deliver," she added.
"We are coping in very difficult circumstances. We're fundraising this year, but it's not sustainable on a long-term basis. We're not closing UNESCO, but member states will have to rethink the way forward. UNESCO will be crippled."
US legislation prohibits funding to any UN agency that grants full membership to any group that does not have "internationally recognized attributes" of statehood.
As a result of the vote on the Palestinians, the US administration, which pays its dues at the end of the year, immediately withdrew its funding to the Paris-based agency.
Bokova said it was in US interests to be part of UNESCO and hoped Washington would review its position before next year when it would be stripped of voting rights for not paying its dues.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: cracked block ??? on 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
i would like to know what are the symptoms of a cracked block i hit a pothole (hard) since then coolant loss,running hot, overheating, hard to start,and when i pulled out the oil dipstick it looked like water was mixed in.... thank you for your help.....rick B.
| |
The way an automotive shop would locate the leak is by removing the radiator cap and attaching an adapter that screws on in place of the radiator cap. Something that looks like a bicycle pump with a pressure gauge attached to it is used to "pump up" pressure to simulate pressure generated when the cooling system is at operating temperature, the leak is then found sometimes it is obviously leaking from a coolant hose or cracked housing, failed gasket or water pump, sometimes the engines cooling system needs to be inspected from below or inspected using a mirror and flash light. Over heating could be caused by many things but your symptoms described sounds like a blown head gasket. The most accurate way to test for a blown head gasket on a gasoline engine is to test for the presence of carbon monoxide in the cooling system. Snap-On, Matco (part # CO 2000), and Napa sell a tool to check to carry out this test. Another link to a supplier of this tool is http://www.etoolcart.com/combustion-leak-detector-lis75500.aspx. Carbon Monoxide is only present if there is a blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head. http://www.arrowheadradiator.com/head_gasket_or_combustion_leak_test.htm I think the napa part number 700-1006. http://www.blockchek.com/instructions.htm . Signs of a blown head gasket are coolant loss (frequently have to top up the coolant level of the engine without seeing an obvious leak), experiencing over heating or rough engine running or the presence of white sweet smelling steam from the exhaust. A badly blown head gasket may allow engine coolant and oil to mix.
thank you Patrick.... that was very helpful..... Rick B
| |
Once the oil mixes with the coolant and starts to get a "milky look", it wipes out the Crank & Cam bearings in no time. You will be better off replacing the engine at this point.
if i do need a new engine what can i expect to pay for parts and labor.........Rick B

As I understand it, the PO features the ball moving through the center, so it shouldn't be too surprising that Sam's getting the touches. Sam should just be savvy about what's a good percentage shot for him to take and be careful with his passes.
I wish I had tape of the Wizards to see if Haywood was handling the ball more than Jamison. For some reason, I doubt it.
I think your #5 point (defense) is the biggest concern for me. You won't have any chance at all allowing 16 made 3s (which as you said were mostly wide open) and it wasn't as if they let up all those threes but at least shut down Howard, who still got his points. And this was without last year's leader in 3 pointers made in the lineup (Rashard Lewis).
They had no clear defensive mandate. Just five guys running around freelancing and not doing a good job of it. Pitiful.
I did not watch the complete game. But in the 1st quarter, I saw Thad's guy wide open several times shooting from the outside. That concerns me, no one w/in 15 feet of him. Am I missing something? I thought we played 1 on 1 with each person defending a guy? And, if we cannot shoot average, we will not win no matter what we do.
I saw the same disappointing team as last year. Honestly, no difference as game 5 in the playoffs. Glad my Phillies won!
Overall, their offense was ugly, but they didn't shoot poorly at all. In fact, even when Orlando was blowing their doors off in the second quarter they were still scoring (thanks mostly to speights).
The problem was defense, and it wasn't purely on Thad or anyone other player, it was a team failure that starts w/ the head coach, then goes to the defensive guru.
I can't believe there is no comment about Jason Williams in either of these weak blogs. It's clear you didn't even watch the game. You were too busy watching the Yanks getting spanked. Jwil took the game over and put it out of reach by the end of the half. The guy had 14 points, 5 assists in only 14 minutes. He was 4-4 from field, 3-3 from Downtown and shot 100% at the foul line. When all was said and done, the Magic scored 70 points in the first half.
I wouldn't be so hard on the Sixers. They just finished playing the best team in the NBA. Orlando went undefeated this preseason and so far are invincible in the regular season. And with arguably the most exciting point guard to ever play the game coming off the bench, I expect them to annihilate all competition.
behindthebacksports.com still lives!
Good analysis. I did see most of the game. (I find baseball too stressful to watch when I care who wins.)
I'm not surprised by Speights' poor +/-. Where do you get those stats? I made a half-hearted effort to find +/- stats this afternoon, because I wanted to see if Speights was better or worse than Dalembert. I suspect he was worse even though many comments on Philly.com raved about Speights' play.
I was most concerned with the play of Brand. I thought he looked old and slow. I hope that's not all there is to Elton Brand.
My second concern was for the horrible defensive effort. I'm not knowledgeable enough to figure out what their defensive philosophy was, but whatever it was, they didn't do it well.
I'm hoping they do better tomorrow night. I should get more insight watching in person than on TV.
Plus/minus stats are affected by who you are on the court with; when Spioeghts first came in for Sam the starters were still on the floor and it was back and forth for both teams.I will be the first to rip him for lack of defensive effort but not last night.He tried hard to defend Howard one on one, an impossible task, and had a nice weakside block,he wasn!t the problem, the fact that we played Howard straight up most of the time and still gave up open threes is all about effort and having a gameplan,so we better hope they do.
This is a good point, and it's also a reason why I chose to track rotations etc. (by the way, you can see +/- stats on ESPN box scores, or yahoo sports box scores).
So let's take a look at the rotations from game one and see how Speights performed with each lineup he was part of:
- Speights, EB, TY, AI, LW (4 starters) +1 in 2:39
- Speights, Smith, TY, Carney, LW (2 starters) -3 in 0:45
- Speights, Smith, Kapono, Carney, LW (1 starter) -7 in 2:49
- Speights, Smith, Kapono, Carney, Willie (0 starters) -1 in 3:17
- Speights, EB, TY, AI, LW (4 starters) -2 in 0:51
- Speights, EB, TY, AI, LW (4 starters) +1 in 2:15
- Speights, Smith, TY, AI, LW (3 starters) -2 in 3:11
- Speights, Smith, Kapono, AI, Ivey (1 starter) -4 in 3:28
- Speights, TY, Kapono, AI, Ivey (2 starters) +6 in 3:23
- Speights, EB, Kapono, Carney, Ivey (1 starter) +1 in 2:09
So some interesting trends here.
- Speights played 5:45 with 4 starters and had a +/- of 0
- Speights played 9:08 with Elton Brand and had a +/- of -1
- Speights played 9:34 with 1 or fewer starters and had a +/- of -11
So when Speights played with 2 or more starters (roughly 17 minutes), he had a +/- of -1. The team fell to pieces when he was out there with the second string. Pretty interesting splits when you break it down like this.
Personally, I think this further supports my theory that Speights plays up/down to the other players on the floor. Play him with starters, against starters, he remains focused on both ends of the floor. He may get beat on defense, but the effort is there. Play him with scrubs, against scrubs, and all he cares about is getting shots up.
That's a really intriguing hypothesis. We know Speights certainly can play pretty good defense. We've seen flashes of great defense/rebounding in the past. He's just really inconsistent with it, more often only half-hearted about it. It's probably not good for him to be on a team where he sees a lot of half-hearted effort out at the perimeter (he might be too willing to think, "if they're not chasin, why should i?").
It'd be interesting to observe the games to see if that's a real correlation. What exactly gets his defensive motor sparked and gunning? Is it the Sam Treatment (feed the dog and he'll guard the yard)?
I think if you could accurately answer that question, you'd have a future as a sports psychologist. For the time being, this is definitely something to keep an eye on. Like I said in my wrap, I thought the effort was there for Speights in this game. As for the defensive results, well, there's not a whole lot anyone can do against Howard except foul him when he has an open dunk.
The Bucks don't have any superheroes on their team, so I'm really looking forward to seeing the effort level tonight. I think it's not only about who Speights is playing with, but who he's playing against that dictates his activity level on the defensive end.
Good analysis, Brian...this is similar to the data from last season on 82games.com, which very clearly suggested that Speights is a different player when he is out there with the starters than when he is out there with mostly reserves.
Simple answer - start him.
Well, more important is how the starting rotation performs with him in it, rather than how he performs in the starting lineup. If they're +50 with Dalembert and even with Speights, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to put Speights in just because he personally performs better with that group.
This wasn't the case last night, but it was the case last year.
A little different situation last season, in that Brand was not around...and the question was should Speights start over Willie G. and his impact numbers with the starters versus the bench guys could be looked at in that context. With Brand back in the mix, it is now a Speights vs. Sammy decision and, of course, if Sammy's +/- with the starters is higher than Speights, then that is another thing entirely.
My concern is that the decision on whether to start Sammy or Speights will be - at least in part - decided by factors other than +/-...which concerns me. This team does not have THAT much talent that we can keep somebody in the starting linup that is not as good as somebody who is on the bench (even forgetting the player development benefit that Speights gets from the minutes)...this isn't Iavaroni versus Bobby Jones...or bringing Manu off the bench...to keep Sammy out there because he loses some perceived "trade value" if he doesn't start...or because they are concerned that he'll sulk and not be effective off the bench...I don't think the team has that luxury.
If the numbers show that Sammy is a better starter than Speights, I will respectfully back down...but I sure would like to give it a shot and see what happens.
Completely agree that it has to be about which is the best lineup, maybe to be more accurate, which combination results in the best team (speights' scoring may really be needed off the bench, you may just need to get him in better rotations from that role). I don't care about sulking and that other stuff, and I'd hope the team doesn't either. To this point, I believe the team is better with Sammy out there, and the numbers back it up. If those numbers reverse, then absolutely start Speights.
from what I've read three point defence was a big problem for Jordan's Washington teams.
It's early, so I'm not going to get on the "should've brought in a defensive coach" soapbox yet, but man I'm itching to.
Definitely too early to make any conclusions after one game.
Just add 3 pt defense to the list of potential concerns and areas to watch. along with a whole litany of other things (which is the case for most non-elite teams entering a new season.)

Summary and Background
Last summer, the Bush Administration came to Congress seeking emergency changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to address a gap that had arisen in our intelligence collection capabilities, according to administration officials. Democrats support giving the Intelligence Community the tools it needs to protect the nation from terrorism. However, many Democrats opposed the rushed legislation that ultimately resulted from the Administration's push, the Protect America Act of 2007 (PAA). Before passage, Democrats succeeded in adding a six-month sunset to ensure the PAA would serve as only a temporary measure to address the intelligence gap while Congress considered longer-term amendments to the statute.
Over the past year, Senate and House Democrats have worked with their Republican counterparts, the Administration, the intelligence community, and privacy advocates to develop proposals for amendments to FISA that would give the intelligence community the flexibility it needs to safeguard our nation, while also providing strong protections for civil liberties.
On June 19, Senator Rockefeller, Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), announced that a FISA amendments deal had been reached. On June 25, the Senate voted to proceed with consideration of that legislation, H.R.6304, the FISA Amendments Act of 2008.

It's an irony that on one hand, we have the ecommerce and other internet businesses defining the next revolution in India while on the other hand India has one of the slowest internet connections in the Asia Pacific region.
The recent Akamai's quarterly report on 'State of the Internet' highlights the slow Internet connection in the country. India ranks lowest in the Asia-Pacific region with an average connection speed of 1.7 megabits per second in the previous quarter.
India's Internet connection speeds of 1.7 megabit per second are no match to the global average of 3.9 megabits per speed. Though there is no regulation of wireless Internet connection speeds in the country, TRAI has decided to set a minimum rate for wireless Internet services.
India's speeds have increased over 8% from last year while most Asian countries have witnessed an increase of over 20% YoY. South Korea recorded the highest average connection speed at 23.6Mbps, and the highest average peak connection speed at 68.5 Mbps.
The report also reveals that India had the lowest rate of high broadband adoption among qualifying countries, at 0.4%, even after a 31% quarterly increase.
South Korea and Hong Kong are the only two surveyed Asia Pacific countries/regions with average peak connection speeds above 60 Mbps, while Singapore, Japan, and Taiwan remain the only others with average peak speeds above 50 Mbps.
In terms of average peak connection speeds, Indonesia has witnessed one of the most aggressive growths that added 55% from the fourth quarter of 2013, while Taiwan added only 2.1%. New Zealand was the only other country to see a double-digit percentage increase. Declines ranged from a 1.2% loss in China to a 10%, while the lowest was seen in India, at 0.7%.
But there is some hope as Cisco Visual Networking Index Global Forecast and Service Adoption for 2013-2018 predicts Internet speeds – broadband as well as mobile – to triple in India in four years.
This Cisco report claims that the average broadband speeds will rise from 3Mbps in 2013 to 9Mbps in 2018. Cisco's report dues that the average Internet user in India will generate around 4.7GB of traffic per month in 2018, an increase of 117 percent from 2013. The findings say an eight-fold increase in video traffic by 2018 could be one of the reasons behind the rising IP traffic. The report also claims that IP video traffic would account for three-quarters of all IP traffic by 2018.
The Akamai report also touched on the rising concerns over Internet security. As the most targeted port in the first quarter, Port 445 was the top target port in just four of the top 10 countries: Taiwan, Russia, India, and Romania, while it was the second most targeted port in the United States, Brazil, and South Korea. Port 5000 was the top target port in China, Brazil, Turkey, and South Korea, and the second most targeted port in India and Romania. Port 23 placed within the top three in China, Brazil, India, Turkey, South Korea, and Romania, likely associated with attacks looking for open Telnet ports, where brute force or default logins can be attempted in an effort to gain access to, and control of, a target system.
The new government under the leadership of Narendra Modi has assured of stern expansions in telecom and Internet access in the country making broadband high speed.
The assurances included increase of the Internet connectivity along with increase in speeds too. While major metropolitans will see fiber networks within the next 6 months, low connectivity states will get access to ADSL.
In the past few weeks, Airtel, Reliance Jio Infocomm, Vodafone and Idea Cellular have announced their plans to start 4G services in the country. Airtel has already rolled out the service in 6-7 cities.
India needs better Internet speeds to cater to the growing demands of consumers and also to fuel the next wave of consumer Internet products.

Annette: First in Line
Front to back: Annette, son Creighton, and daughter Sierra. They've been in line since 9 AM to get their chance to see President Obama in Glen Allen.
Tickets to see President Obama have been, to say the least, going like hotcakes. When Annette, a small business owner from Chester, VA, heard that President Obama would be returning to Virginia, she cancelled all her meetings, grabbed her daughter Sierra and her son Creighton, and headed to the Richmond office to be the first folks in line.
"My daughter Sierra asked me to take her to see President Obama the next time he came," Annette said, "and it's a promise I intended to fulfill, so here we are."
For Annette, bringing her daughter to see President Obama is more than just seeing the president.
It's about showing your support for the guy who's been an amazing leader on the economy, health care, and women's rights. He has the backs of middle-class families, and the progress I see is evidence that he's taking us in the right direction. We've got to pick up those phones and knock on those doors to make sure he wins in November. Whatever it takes.
Be the next person in line to move America forward. Sign up to volunteer today.

Best Vintage – Free "P" Star – 8 rue Ste-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie 75004 Paris
Contrary to popular belief, there are quite a few vintage shops in Paris and Free "P" Star's racks are filled to the brim with treasures just waiting to be found. At this time of year, you'll find tons of fur and leather, all for under $100. There are also bins overflowing with chunky knit sweaters – mostly %100 wool or, if not, a reasonable blend of wool and synthetics. The key here, as with any vintage shopping experience is to bring along your patience and always be sure to take the time to check for holes and stains, etc. But the deals are there for the taking! We know one French fashionista (we won't name names, but she may have red hair) who found a mint green 50's style lambswool sweater with a peter pan collar for the bargain price of just 5 euro (roughly $6 US)!

Jennifer Lawrence & Josh Hutcherson: Haunted House Fun
Getting into the Halloween spirit, Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson paid a visit to the Netherworld Haunted House in Norcross, Georgia last night (October 29).
The "Hunger Games: Catching Fire" costars both got their own pictures with the cast of the spooky attraction, and from the look of the pics, they got a good scare.
Josh and Jennifer were quite the promotional pair for the haunted house, bringing in hundreds of fans to catch a glimpse.
Per the Netherworld website, "NETHERWORLD Haunted House is a walk-through dark attraction filled with terrifying live actors, amazing special effects, and incredible monsters."
