text: Doug Winkler Since Lincoln spoke at Gettysburg 150 years ago, we have gone through the gamut of attitudes toward veterans—from hero worship to appreciation to apathy to anger to honor. Lincoln lauded the contributions of the soldiers with an awe rarely heard from a president. Other presidents have surely praised soldiers, but none with the reverence that Lincoln did: the soldiers who fought and died had already dedicated, consecrated and hallowed the ground he had been called to dedicate—his feeble words were hollow when compared to the acts of bravery and sacrifice of those who lay in the cemetery at Gettysburg. Today we honor veterans with words and sometimes acts of kindness that vary from discounted meals to news stories of their return. We honor those who died with tributes and flag-draped coffins at their funerals. We have our moments of silence, and then we move on. But we fail to do what Lincoln called on the nation to do on that fall day in 1863: finish the work that they had fought and died to insure—the survival of our experiment in democracy and its endurance in a form that represents the people. Would Lincoln call the government we have in Washington today a government of the people, by the people, and for the people? If not, then have we not succeeded in the very thing Lincoln implored us to do—make the sacrifice of soldiers, living and dead, then and now, count for something. Did they die in vain if we leave the cause unfinished? We should not need a tragic war to unite us; the cause of democracy should.

Man gets three-year sentence for selling bath salts
The former manager of a central Indiana convenience store has been sentenced to three years in prison for his role in selling synthetic drugs known commonly as bath salts.
Twenty-eight-year-old Phulbir "Mike" Singh apologized for his actions Monday before he was sentenced in Delaware Circuit Court.
The Star Press reports Singh pleaded guilty in March to corrupt business influence in exchange for prosecutors dropping five other charges.
Singh was one of eight men arrested last June after authorities raided Muncie-area convenience stores selling bath salts and spice, which mimic other controlled substances.
Authorities say that Singh, a native of India, will likely be taken into custody by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and deported rather than serving his sentence in Indiana.

It doesn't matter if it's navigating an asteroid field or a hand of poker, no one really needs to know the odds. I'd think that, in a game of poker with Vader and Fett, knowing how likely you are to be force-choked or blasted if you win won't help your game much anyway.

North Dakota's Bagaason Headlines GWC All-Conference Women's Basketball Team
March 10, 2010
NAPERVILLE, Ill. - The Great West Conference has announced its inaugural Women's Basketball All-Conference Team, and North Dakota's Kayla Bagaason heads the list.
Bagaason, who led the Fighting Sioux to the Great West Conference regular-season title, averages 14.3 points per game and shoots 41 percent from beyond the arc. In GWC games, she averaged 16.6 points per game, hit 48 percent of her three-point attempts and made 3.1 treys per game.
Joining Bagaason on the first team were her UND teammate Mallory Youngblut, Jessica Gerald from NJIT, Amber Hegge from South Dakota and Chicago State's Courtney Waldon.
Youngblut averages 12.8 points per game, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 steals per game and averages 80 percent from the charity stripe. Her rebounding and steal averages are second in the league, and she is tied for first in free throw percentage.
NJIT's Gerald is second in scoring at 15.9 points per game and has made 140-193 free throws for 72.5 percent.
In GWC games she scored 16.3 points per game and made 2.3 treys per contest.

First-team honoree Waldon led Chicago State with 14.4 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. She leads the league in three-point percentage at 44.1 and most three-pointers made with 2.8 per game. In conference games, Waldon averaged 16.0 points and 6.5 rebounds.
The second team included UTPA's Aleeya Grigsby (10.5 points, 8.5 rebounds) and Bianca Torre (13.3 points, 4.3 assists per game), South Dakota's Abby Kinder (11.6 ppg, 39.5 3-pt. pct.), North Dakota's Whitney Ledger (11.1 ppg, 6.9 rpg), UVU's Julie Smith (league-leading 17.3 points per game) and HBU's Destini Texada (8.7 ppg, 6.0 rpg).
Five players were named to the All-Newcomer Team led by Newcomer of the Year Torre.
Joining Torre on the All-Newcomer Team were Kinder, Texada, Chicago State's Tressa Beckel (6.6 ppg) and HBU's Taniqua Hollis (9.8 ppg, 3.1 apg).
Defensive Player of the Year honors went to UTPA's Rose Esther Jean after averaging 6.6 rebounds per game, 1.8 steals and leading the GWC in blocks with 2.0 per game. In GWC games she averaged 7.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per contest.

Having jettisoned their last CEO for taking his marching orders too seriously, the six remaining members of the Metra board on Tuesday named an interim replacement: Don Orseno, a railroad veteran who was the agency's deputy director for operations.
Congratulations, Mr. Orseno, and good luck. You're stepping up at a time when public confidence in Metra — and what's left of its board — is at an all-time low.

AN angry father-of-five claims his children are facing danger in their own home from exposed electrical wiring which he was told would not be fixed for five days.
David Paterson, of Woodstock Road, called Worcester Community Housing (WCH) immediately after his 11-year-old son Christian accidentally knocked the surface-mounted socket on Monday with a pushchair, breaking the casing.
The registered carer thought the damage would be fixed immediately but was furious when he was told it was not an emergency and could take up to five days.
The door leading to the dining room is hanging by one hinge after years of repairs had left the frame resembling a "colander" so could not be used to cordon off the area, he said.
A WCH spokesperson said the call did not fall within its category of emergency 24-hour response but was categorised as urgent, meaning work would be carried out within five working days.
Mr Paterson had asked his son to move a pushchair into the dining room but Christian, who goes to Regency High School, accidentally caught the socket with the pushchair and it shattered.
"I understand it is our fault and we will have to pay, I am not bothered about that, but it is totally unsafe and needs fixing immediately," he said.
A trained tradesman was expected to visit the family home today.
But the 39-year-old said he believed someone should have been sent out as an emergency as the exposed wires put his children Christian, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), McKenzie, seven, Charlie, Archie, a four-year-old with learning difficulties, and Elle-Louise, one, at risk.
The family was forced to cancel Charlie's sixth birthday party on Tuesday because of fears over the safety of his friends.
Mr Paterson added: "Our dining room door is broken and I have two disabled children so it means I will have to stand in the dining room doorway to stop them going in – it is an absolute joke.
"It is totally unsafe because the wires are exposed. If the door was fixed I could put a catch but I can't even do that."
Marc Mayall, head of building maintenance service at WCH, said: "We take our repair responsibilities seriously and we will always try to meet the needs of our customers, on this occasion, unfortunately, Mr Peterson was not happy with our service.
"We will take this into consideration when the repair categories are reviewed in the future."
He said that due to the nature of how the socket was damaged Mr Paterson would be charged for the repair work.

Steps for Turning Your Company into a Heavily Quoted Source
Ever wonder why your competitors keep cropping up in coverage - whether it be national dailies, on big-time TV broadcasts or even in local business magazines - while your company's relegated to the back of the trades?
The fact is, a lot of media pickup isn't always driven by stellar press releases, according to Dan Forbush, founder of ProfNet, a PR Newswire service that puts journalists in touch with experts and sources for breaking stories. "There are two essential approaches to media placement. One is to persuade reporters that your organization has news worth reporting - this approach is deliberate and release driven. The other is to persuade reporters that there are individuals within your organization who - because of their industry perspective or some form of expertise - are worth interviewing. This approach is opportunistic and pitch driven."
His tips for effectively playing the expert game:
- Play reporter.
"Forget for a moment your own organization's objectives, and read the
world as a reporter would," Forbush advises. "Given your beat
and the readers you must satisfy, what topics are of interest? What angles
do you find fresh and provocative? With which sources - with what
expertise - do you want to be in touch with?"
- Become a matchmaker.
"Having performed that analysis, you can now lay the role of
matchmaker," he continues. "Ask yourself, 'Which individuals
within my organization or my clientele can satisfy these reporter needs?
And what presentations will be most persuasive?'"
- Identify ideas for the masses vs. tailored pitches. "When you write a news release, you're
packaging ideas for reporters in masses," Forbush says, "but when you write a pitch, you're tailoring an idea for a single reporter. You're saying 'I think you'll be interested in this person because' - and you have a good reason for thinking so because you've done your homework. You've read the publication, or you've watched the show, and you know what works and what doesn't. Via Lexis-Nexis or Google, you've researched the reporter's work, and you're familiar with his or her recent reporting."
- Adopt a long-term perspective. "In all of your relationships with reporters,
adopt a long-term perspective," he cautions. "You should craft
your pitch carefully in such a way that - even if the reporter doesn't
take you up on your offer this time - you can be confident your next pitch
will be read. This helps cultivate your standing as a reliable
- Perform an Expert Audit. "You can be a reliable source only if you have a
thorough knowledge of your organization and have identified everyone who
can be helpful to reporters and how," Forbush says. "For this
reason, when you join a new organization or take on a new client, you
should always perform an 'expert audit.' Sit down with colleagues or
clients and identify who can talk effectively about what."
- Develop platforms for spokespeople. "By profiling your spokesperson(s) on your Web sites and expert resources for reporters, you provide easy accessibility to these experts," Forbush says. "If you have an expert who can speak on a 'hot topic' that is currently in the news, consider sending out a media advisory alerting reporters to the availability of your spokesperson, and his or her position on the topic," he suggests.

Would like to share a little mail, relating to today's Impromptus. In the course of my scribbles, I write,
I have never seen Mad Men, but I understand it's an excellent show. I also understand that it's the Left's view of what America was like before the Left took over everything, basically. (Do you know what I mean by that?) Mark Helprin says that the show is, at its core, a lie. He knew the world depicted in the show very well; the show smears that world.
I go on to say, "Anyway, you may remember something that David Axelrod, the president's political strategist, said about Romney: 'I think he must watch Mad Men and think it's the evening news. He's just in a time warp.'" Romney is a throwback, a man out of step — that's true. One of the reasons I like him so much.
A reader of ours writes in,
Mark Helprin was right. I started my career in advertising in the mid '60s at a big New York agency (actually on Madison Avenue), when and where the series is set. You wouldn't believe how much they got just factually wrong, particularly about how business was done then. That's why I stopped watching in the first season.
In my column, I also happen to mention Judge Kenneth Starr — and the man to whom he is linked in history, Bill Clinton.
There could hardly be two more different Americans. One as decent as the other is not. Which one reigns as the nation's political sweetheart? And which was thoroughly demonized?
Ken Starr is so decent, he probably saved Clinton's presidency — in this sense: He told the president what evidence he had, though he didn't have to. That allowed Clinton to shape his testimony — his lies — just so.
A reader of ours writes,
I was at Baylor from 1993 to 1998. [Starr is now president of that university.] I witnessed what I would describe as horrendous athletic programs. I went to all the games I could because I love sports, but I was one of the few. To witness what Ken Starr has helped achieve at Baylor is amazing. He came into a very divided faculty and an indifferent student body and helped transform the school.
Granted, he had help from Robert Griffin III [a star quarterback] and the men's and women's basketball teams, but it's amazing how little credit he gets. He came into the school with few knowing more about him than his association with Clinton, but he's brought many diverse groups together for the common good of the university.
I have never met him personally, but I would be honored to do so. He, at least in my estimation, is a great leader and a wonderful man. It's a pity there aren't more like him, and that, as you mention, he's demonized in our country.
I have met him — he's been a guest on our cruises — and it is indeed an honor. The man sets an example of grace and guts.

Issue explored at resident's request
Paul Rignell
Columbus Reporter
Columbus residents have an option to share concerns with the city leaders in an online "suggestion box" found through a link on the city website. The public may be assured that the City Council takes all honest comments sincerely, as they talked one over Dec. 12.
A resident typed in a request Dec. 6 for lighting at the angled corner of Broadway Avenue and Kettle River Boulevard. Especially turning from Broadway onto Kettle River after dusk, it's "too dark," the commenter wrote. "Help!"
City employees emailed Anoka County highway staff within about an hour of receiving the resident's note to ask about lighting over county roads. A traffic engineer replied the city should contact Connexus Energy, which could apply to the county for an installation permit.
Columbus pays for light maintenance at one other county corner, Zurich Street and Lake Drive.
Staff took a question from council Dec. 12 on whether lights around the eight-side stop sign perimeters could be a solution. City Administrator Elizabeth Mursko replied those have been considered and would not meet the county's "warrants," or safety criteria.
She noted the county has applied for a grant to consider a roundabout to regulate traffic at Broadway and Kettle River.
Councilmember Denny Peterson reacted to hearing "roundabout" in a manner to suggest though it could not be called a four-letter word, some in the area may consider it an "R-word" based on persistent mixed feelings for the roundabout at the east end of Broadway in Forest Lake.
Replying to this concerned citizen with talk of a roundabout, Peterson said – "That will get her attention, and we'll get some more emails on that one."
As of the end of the meeting Dec. 12, the Columbus council had not made a motion for contacting Connexus Energy. The council was closing its 2012 schedule with an evening meeting Dec. 26.

Bobcats Re-Sign Jeff McInnis
August 29, 2007
Charlotte Bobcats Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Bernie Bickerstaff and General Manager Rod Higgins announced Wednesday that the team has re-signed guard Jeff McInnis, who became an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Bobcats acquired the 6-4, 190-pound Charlotte native in a January 3, 2007 trade with the New Jersey Nets.
McInnis appeared in 38 games for the Bobcats last season, averaging 4.3 points, 3.3 assists and 1.6 rebounds. In three starts, he averaged 10.3 points, 5.0 assists and 3.3 rebounds, including a season-high 17 points on January 20 against Atlanta.
McInnis, who left the University of North Carolina after his junior season, was selected by Denver in the second round (37th overall pick) of the 1996 NBA Draft.
He has played in 522 career games for seven different teams over his 10 NBA seasons with career averages of 9.9 points, 4.4 assists and 2.1 rebounds split between Denver, Washington, L.A. Clippers, Portland, Cleveland, New Jersey and Charlotte.

Dr. Steve Greene is now sharing stories, teachings, and conversations with guests who lead with love on Love Leads, a new podcast. Listen now.
Church leadership is difficult (in case you hadn't already figured that out).
Some days it is easy to feel discouraged, to wonder why you work as hard as you do. Especially when you don't receive the thanks you deserve. Especially when you don't see the results you want. Especially when it's been a long week or weekend—you've preached multiple services and tended to the needs of others, and even after all of that, you look around the room and wonder if it was enough.
Maybe you worry there are people you aren't reaching, or maybe you see people hurting and don't have the answers.
You feel the weight of it.
You wonder: "Is there something more I should be doing?"
To make matters worse, your Twitter feed is full of other church leaders and pastors from other places celebrating their victories. Their attendance is up, offering is up, such-and-such number of people have been saved or baptized.
You want to be happy for them, but you're exhausted.
It's so easy to feel like, despite all your work, you're falling behind.
You're not alone. You aren't the only pastor who feels like this. Here are a three of ways you can re-route those thoughts.
1. Identify when envy arises. The first step is to identify when envy or jealousy arises in our hearts. The quicker we identify the true reasons for our thoughts, the quicker we can change them if they're insincere or misplaced.
2. Encourage other pastors privately. This is an easy opportunity we miss out on all the time. Picture this: Your church has its highest attendance in history. The next day, you receive a DM (that's "direct message" for you non-Twitterers) from another pastor in the community congratulating you on the day. How encouraging would that be? One of the easiest ways to combat that spirit of envy is to genuinely celebrate the successes of others. We all share the same goal, don't we?
3. Praise them publicly. The final step is to take it public. As encouraging as a private word of encouragement can be, public recognition can increase it exponentially. Celebrating publicly with your church leadership team will help you build that relationship as well as set an example for others who might have the tendency to react negatively.
The work you're doing is God's work. You're listening to Him, following His leading, giving in every way you can.
Don't minimize what you are doing.
No matter how discouraged you feel, you must celebrate what God is doing in your church. You can do this with your church staff or just with your spouse. Tell the stories of the remarkable things that are happening in your community.
You are changing the whole world of the people around you.
Although you might be tempted to criticize other churches, remind yourself they are led by pastors just like you who also feel discouraged and question how they got here, what they're doing, and if it's enough.
Celebrate their victories as victories for the kingdom. Remember this is not a competition; it's a story we are all, as church leaders, writing together. Their victories are your victories, and yours are theirs.
Finally, you may have to change your metrics for measuring success in your community. It's easy to get caught up in numbers of people baptized or the number of people who showed up on Sunday morning. We can get lost in the offering count or the salvation count. But if we did, we would forget that there is no measure for lives being changed.
Stories are being written all around you. You are intersecting with these stories, and God is in each one of them.
What about you? Do you feel ever feel discouraged or wonder if you're doing enough? How do you cope?

He doesn't know if they have referred to the police. Should he contact them?
The young lady has a previous history of a failed relationship which was violent. I don't know how many restraining orders she has had in the past. She is vindictive and uses facebook accordingly. When arguments have occur she resorts to you will never see the baby again routine.
No the police have not asked him about any thing that has occurred between them but they won't know his address as he is in B&B
He does want to be able to see the baby again. Also he would like to recover his belongings. How does he ensure that he can?
Thanks very much for your advice. One last query - when the contact order gets considered as he has virtually no money will he receive legal aid to help with getting a solicitor?

The Hope Chest
de Michele Bourgeau
Acerca del libro
Simply put, The Hope Chest is a compilation of my poetry and artwork, and yet it represents so much more. Now in mid life, I find myself reflecting on life choices and experiences as a woman in this culture. I long to find the importance in what I have experienced in all aspects of my life journey—but especially on those specific aspects of experience that created a unique female identity within me, and which link me with all women in community together.
Today, I look at women's roles and care giving from a creative and artistic perspective with a sacred dimension. My hope is that my writings and artwork will reflect this passion to my readers moving beyond the images and words to inspire and affirm women of all ages and all places in their life journey.

HOUSTON - Local businessman and real estate developer George P. Mitchell has died.
Mitchell's family said in a statement that he died of natural causes in Galveston surrounded by his family.
Mitchell was a Texas oil man and real estate king by trade, and one of Houston's wealthiest businessmen. Most recently though, he was known more as a philanthropist.
Born and raised in Galveston, he founded Mitchell Energy & Development Company, an oil and gas company. In the 80s and 90s, that company pioneered new technology for drilling natural gas.
One thing he's known for recently is developing The Woodlands, the unincorporated township in Montgomery and Harris counties.
Mitchell and his wife, Cynthia, started the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation in 1977, and in the years following have pledged and given away more than $400 million in grants.
He died at his residence in the Tremont Hotel in Galveston. He was 94.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
Gov. Rick Perry issued this statement:
"George Mitchell was a remarkable Texan whose pioneer spirit has truly changed the world, particularly when you consider how many people will live better lives across the globe because of his innovation. From revitalizing his hometown of Galveston, to creating the thriving community of the Woodlands, George has left a lasting footprint on our state, our citizens and our future. Anita joins me in offering our deepest condolences to his family and friends."
Mayor Annise Parker released the following statement:
"George Mitchell leaves a lasting legacy that includes community-building, philanthropy and a passion for the arts. His ambition and success have transformed our region, from The Strand in Galveston to building The Woodlands into a city of the future. He was a visionary, and showed his love for Houston through his work and hometown pride.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, as we commemorate his life and indelible contributions to Houston and the surrounding region."
Admiral Smith, Chief Executive Officer at Texas A&M University at Galveston released this statement:
"It is hard to express in words what George Mitchell meant to Texas A&M University at Galveston, its students, faculty and staff, and to me personally. To say he was a great man with foresight and generosity isn't enough. His contributions to this university literally made this institution possible. The very land it sits on was donated by Mr. Mitchell in honor of his mother and his support never waned. But more than that, it was his friendship that we shall always cherish. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit shall go on forever within this university."
The Houston Symphony released the following statement:
"Efforts are already underway at the Symphony to honor his longtime generosity by performing in a special memorial concert planned for August 8 at the Pavillion."

Have Volkswagen Questions? Ask an Expert Now.
Thank you for choosing "Just Answer" for your query. Yes, I can help you.
Yes, I recommended to do so at this mileage. The fluid required is VW #G 052 162 A2 this is a one liter bottle you will likely need 4 liter bottles I would purchase 5 with the understanding that you may return any unopened bottles. I recommend you also replace the oil pick up filter as well. If you should choose to do so, purchase the fluid, filter and a gasket. You should also inspect the vehicles fill plug before purchasing parts to see if you will need an new protective cap or a pump to pump in the fluid which you can purchase at most parts stores.
The procedure would be to remove the drain plug on the left rear corner on the bottom of the transmission oil pan. All the fluid in the pan will not drain out, unless you remove the tube going up in the middle of this drain (inspect this tube when you have the pan off, this is the level tube). If you are replacing the filter, this step is not necessary and you can simply remove the pan. Next you want to remove and replace the filter. You should also clean the inside of the pan and the magnets inside. reposition magnets to there original locations. Reinstall the pan with a new gasket. The fill port is located on the left front corner above the pan. If the plug has a spring retainer it may be reused, if it has a plastic protective cap, it should be pried off with a screw driver and replaced with a new one when finished. Pump it 3 liters of the fluid. With the wheels off the ground, start the engine and run it through the gears to expel any air in the system. When the fluid reaches a temperature of 35c-45c it should dribble out of the drain plug with engine RUNNING in park. A scanner is preferred, but an infrared temperature gun reading the pan works well enough. I open the plug as it is warming up idling, if not fluid is running out, I top it off until it does so. Then wait for the transmission to attain the desired temperature and reinstall and seal the drain plug BEFORE shutting off the motor. Your done.
I hope I have answered your questions and addressed your concerns. Should you have further questions on this matter, please do not hesitate to ask. I want you to be 100% satisfied with my answer.

I am sorry to hear that you can not print the material. I am not sure what the problem would be. I am just getting my PC figured out. I am no computer expert, but perhaps I can help you by telling you what I would try in your situation. If your previous method did not work, try holding down the control key and the P key simultaneously. Your print screen should come up, click print, the entire page should print. If that does not work,
Try highlighting all the text; Put the pointer on the first letter of the first word, do a left click holding the button down, then drag the pointer to the last letter of the last word of the text you want copied, release the left click, immediately followed by one left click. All the selected text should be highlighted. Now press and hold down the control key (ctrl) and the C key simultaneously. The text should be copied in your clip board. open a word processor program or someplace you would usually type text, possibly compose mail, then press and hold the control key and the V key. The saved text from your clip board should be pasted on your page. Now print as you normally would.
I hope that does it for you. If that does not work let me know and I will ask administration if they know what is going on.
Thank You, XXXXX XXXXX for the inconvenience.

Speed Limit: West Manheim mulls school zone hike, "S" curve dec...
There are 5 comments on the Evening Sun story from Apr 7, 2008, titled Speed Limit: West Manheim mulls school zone hike, "S" curve dec.... In it, Evening Sun reports that:West Manheim supervisors are considering raising a speed limit in one area of the township and lowering it in another.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Evening Sun.
1 - 5 of 5 Comments Last updated Sep 25, 2012
#1 Apr 7, 2008
Why would the township need to lower the speed limit on a small section of Fuhrman Mill Road? There are curves in most rural roads, as is on other sections of that same road. Shouldn't a driver use good judgement and reduce his speed when necessary? Just because a speed limit is posted, it doesn't mean that you have to drive that speed! The signs say "speed limit", not "speed minimum". As for the decision to raise the speed limit on Baltimore Pike, I think that is a great idea. That road is too heavily traveled to expect traffic to suddenly drop the speed to 15 mph. My experience has been that cars are stopped by traffic controllers when necessary anyway.
#2 Apr 8, 2008
Thank God for coming to their senses about the school. Usually I think the Wet Man cops do a great job, but them sitting out there trying to intimidate everyone does no one any good.
#3 Sep 2, 2012
I think u would change your opinion if your child had a bus stop on Baltimore pike ! A child's safety is more important than any job u desire ,leave your home a little earlier ! How easily we forget what it is like to be a child waiting for the school bus. Safety is the concern not how fast u can make it there just making it there at all !!!
#4 Sep 22, 2012
Yes lets make everyone's else life harder because you're to lazy to be a parent and be there with your child at the bus stop. People have forgotten what it means to be a parent if you can't raise them don't have them.
#5 Sep 25, 2012
I like that,Leave a little early....I travel all over Pa.evryday,I tried the leave early thingand you know everyday I leave earlt I find someone in front of me that is in no hurry and I get there the same time.People should look in their rear view mirror once an awhile.an think the person behind them maybe trying to make a living,and move over.

text: Why isn't the deferred prosecution agreement being used in the SAC case, especially since there is no indictment of Mr. Cohen himself and settlements have been reached in the insider trading allegations? Just as an exercise, let's compare the regulatory record of SAC Capital to that of JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) (JPM). In March, SAC agreed to pay a record $616 million to settle insider trading cases. But, that amount pales in comparison to the $16 billion that JPMorgan Chase has paid in litigation expense over the three years ended Dec. 31 as documented by Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone. He catalogs no fewer than 13 prosecutions and settlements with regulators plus a multitude of settlements in civil actions. "There have been so many settlements with so many agencies around the world ... that they're almost impossible to count," he wrote. Yet, despite these ongoing regulatory issues at JPMorgan Chase, CEO Jamie Dimon is President Obama's "favorite banker" and was seriously considered to succeed Tim Geithner as Treasury Secretary. I am not a fan of SAC Capital or any of Wall Street's too-big-to-fail institutions and have frequently expressed my displeasure with their greed and abuses. Here's the question I'm asking: Is the Justice Department using brute-force indictment power on SAC in order to quell criticism that it has handled Wall Street with kid gloves and that no CEO on Wall Street has been prosecuted, much less convicted, since the financial meltdown five years ago? ( Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Washington Mutual, Wachovia, Merrill Lynch, MF Global.) The answer to the question appears to be: yes. After all, SAC is a big name Wall Street firm, but it only has 1,000 employees. Shuttering it is not likely to have major consequences (although it does account for 3% of Wall Street's trading volume). Not so for JPMorgan Chase. With more than 260,000 employees, the direct use of the indictment power would have systemic implications. This article is commentary by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.

England collapse hand Windies the victory
Felix Austin | cricket20
Englands successful summer ended on a sour note after they suffered a batting collapse to hand the West Indies a 25 run victory in a low scoring thriller at the Brit Oval to bring the curtain down on the English cricket season.
Having crushed the visitors on Friday night by 10 wickets, England suffered a rare batting failure which saw them collapse to a total of just 88 to hand the West Indies a series tying victory.
Faced with a target of just 114, few would have expected England to fail in their run chase but the West Indies bounced back from another poor batting display to stun the home side.
Marlon Samuels (35) and Johnson Charles (21) laid the foundations but with a score of just 113-5 to defend, England seemed certain to record another crushing win.
Garey Mathurin (3-9) lead they way, recording the best ever t20 figures by a player on debut as Englands top order failed to fire on a slow turning pitch at the Brit Oval.
Ben Stokes (31) offered some resistant but with England reduced to 52-5 his cameo wasnt enough to lift the home side in innings which included four run outs as the current t20 World Champions get more and more desperate in the closing overs.

Your Projects: 2150-Pound Porsche Cayman for Autocross and Hillclimbs
4 hours ago in News
The goal is an even ton.
So last night a few buddies and I were bench racing and talking about front engines with rear trannies. Conceptually that's cool as it distributes the weight better but where we got hung up was the actual mechanics of it.
I know the Porsche 924/944 and the Corvette do it differently but they both have a torque tube. So how does that torque tube attach? It would seem that you'd have to pull either the tranny or the engine to remove a torque tube?
Also which end has the clutch, flywheel and starter? Is the bell housing still in the engine along with the clutch/starter or has it all been moved out back?
The torque tube spins faster than a driveshaft so we are presuming there is some kind of outer tube to contain it, right?
Could you easily do this with say an Audi or VW tranny out back and your engine of choice up front?
On the '61-'63 Pontiac Tempests, the flywheel/clutch/starter are all mounted as usual behind the engine. I seem to recall the 924 has them in the rear though, but I may be wrong. On both of them, the shaft is solid steel held on bearings inside an outer tube.
I do know the 2.5L Audi turbo-5 will bolt up to a 924(non-S) bellhousing, and that early 924 front control arms are the same as an A1 Rabbit.
Hey Per, weren't you looking for another VW project....
The 'vette has the flywheel and clutch on the engine side. The torque tube is a solid tube that contains the drive shaft inside.
notice the slave cylinder in the picture here.
The c4's had a more primitive setup, they had a torque tube of sorts but the transmission was in the normal spot. The tube (much like a miata's) attached the trans to the diff and eliminated the need for transmission mounts.
The coolest thing I have seen is a LS1 with the torque tube eliminated and the trans axle bolted directly to the bellhousing for a sweet mid engine setup.
My GTV-6 has the flywheel and bell housing up front a two piece driveshaft and the clutch in the rear.
ONce you remove all of the bolts there is enough play (just) to get the DS out but it is a real bear. On the Milano Alfa helped this somewhat by making the support for the middle bearing removable but with my car it is a big prybar pain in the butt.
So the torque tube is a solid steel shaft like an axle inside another tube with bearings to support it. I was presuming a hollow driveshaft type of arrangement.
I'd never seen the Vette drivetrain out of the car. Pretty slick and low tech.
I dont' see a slave cylinder on the vette unless that's it on the front of the tube.
i wonder why more don't do this, it looks so simple and has real world benefits.

Trunk space issues?
Not like there's all that many RWD cars anyway...
On the 924/944 the clutch, flywheel and starter are mounted up front as normal.
Some of the Alfa's used a rear mounted transaxle.
The biggest drawbacks to the TT solution are weight, complexity and expense. They aren't as light as a standard driveline. They are fairly complex in their manufacture and are difficult to repair when the bearings fail. They are expensive to build or repair as well.
A torque tube is just a steel tube with a series of bearings inside and a set of mounting flanges on each end. An extension shaft runs the length of the tube and rides on the bearings. The shaft fits into the splines on the clutch at the front and attaches to the nose of the transaxle at the rear with a splined coupler.
BTW, here's some information on rebuilding a 944 torque tube.
FYI: the later 924 and 944 used Audi FWD transaxles and Porsche motors where as the early 924 used a Porsche 915 based transaxle and an Audi/VW motor. They are bizarre parts bin cars to say the least.
fiat22turbo wrote: Some of the Alfa's used a rear mounted transaxle.
Correctamundo. They would be the Alfetta GT and sedan.
the A series Fiat 124s used a torque tube rear axle. While the transmission was up front and bolted to the engine, it used a single U joint in the middle of the shaft. The front was hooked to the trans with a rubber donut and the rear half of the shaft and differential were all one rigid piece.
Unfortunately, rough roads and misalignment meant broken torque tubes, even if they had excellant handling in that configuration
It would seem that you would need a very good or even special bearing since the torque tube is spinning at engine speed. There's also the extra mass of the long shaft which could make a lightweight flywheel a must. Or would that just balance out the driveshaft that's missing?
So looks like you'd have to make a plate at each end of the torque tube to attach to the rear of the engine and one for the front of the tranny to seal it off.
I'm betting the LS1 bolted directly to the transaxle (not really) is what they are doing here: http://www.factoryfive.com/table/ffrkits/GTM/GTMkit.html
One factor the designer must account for is the torsional fexibility of the shaft, undamped driveline harmonics can eat your lunch. (thus the slang term 'speedometer cable' for the Tempest unit) Going from a solid shaft to a somewhat larger hollow shaft helps a bit, at the expense of greater rotational inertia. (Note that the Corvette TT housing is rather large) If you put the clutch/flywheel at the front, then you get wind-up between it and the transaxle. If you put the clutch/flywheel at the transaxle you get wind-up between it and the motor. Either way sucks.
In contrast to the four cylinder (water-cooled) Porsches having the clutch at the front, the 928 put the clutch at the rear. I never understand why Porsche did it two different ways.
mel_horn wrote:fiat22turbo wrote: Some of the Alfa's used a rear mounted transaxle.

Alfa 75/Milano and GTV6, also.
It would seem that the shaft would be subject to twist as well (hence your term windup?) That's why I used the phrase "solid shaft like an axle" thinking that axle material is designed to counter twist.
Driveshafts should be subject to the same torsional inputs as the shaft in the torque tube should they not?
So you'd need a short wheelbase of about 89.2" which would give you a shaft length of not much over 4' and have it supported in 3 places.
One more question. When you say torque tube is that referencing the shaft inside, the tube it's encased in or the whole set up?
For GRMers this isn't sounding like an impossible project. It might not make for a $200x project, but then again, who knows.
Yes, there is typically some windup in the shaft. Though I would expect it to be much more noticable on my '62 tempest(they even called it a "Rope" shaft) than on a modern Vette. Length would play a big part in how noticable it is, though - just like a swaybar - the diamater of the shaft would effect how much flex it actually has: d*4th-power
"Torque-tube" usually references the whole assembly connecting engine to transaxle.
The 944 has dual pinch bolt sleeve at the transaxle end to facilitate repair /replacement of the drive train, and for engine mounted bell housing movement(slide it backwards) for clutch work.

I'm not quite picturing that.

Not sure what you have in mind, but you could find rusty, non-running 924s for free(or possibly even get paid to haul it away). A good running Audi turbo-5 isn't that much money, or find a rusty running car. Then you just need your body of choice to install it in. VW Rabbit/Jetta/Golf/Fox are all easy choices, but a Superbeetle would be sweet too.
Oh yeah, there's at least one person stuffing a Z06 drivetrain under a '62 Tempest LeMans that I've read about!
Yep, the 924/944 use Rabbit front suspension and super beetle rear suspension (they aren't exactly the same, but extremely close)
The Porsche 924/944 torque tubes are steel and are relatively easily modified (and have been to adapt other bell housings to the front) The later 924 turbo and 944 used a larger spline for the shaft that is the same as many Fords and Chryslers.
Using another transaxle out back would be tricky since there aren't very many units like the one's used in the Porsche's. I guess you could make it work with a Subaru unit....
fiat22turbo wrote: I guess you could make it work with a Subaru unit....
It would seem that with a cover plate and a shaft that matched the size and splines of the input of the tranny you could do this with about any longitudinal mount FWD unit mounted in the rear. Of course some would be better than others.
Better being defined as cheaper, more available or easier to adapt. Por$che is always spelled with a $ and the 924/944 units are so old it makes we wonder about the availability, condition and price. Plus IIRC not many came with an LSD. Of course there is the "it's been designed to work this way" factor.
What size is the shaft itself on the Porsche unit? Still wondering if an aluminum driveshaft might not be stiffer and work just as well but at a cheaper price point. I'm worried the bearings might be an issue there tho.
The issue with the Subie unit is that the FWD portion isn't available with an LSD in the states, which is why I mentioned the VW/Audi longitudinal units in the first post. I don't know how many have the LSD and how easy they are to find, but at least they sent some to the states with an LSD.
I have been playing with building a Locost. My only issue is that I didn't want to build the typical front engined RWD mostly due to space concerns. All the ones I've spent any quality time with leave you with a cramped cockpit due to the transmission tunnel. And the tranny brings a heat source into the cockpit with you. I got burns from just tracking an Ultralite on a 100 degree day.
I had decided to build a middie and wanted to do a Subie because of the flat 4 until I found out about the LSD issue. A VW build didn't interest me due to all the issues with VW engines and their weight. It could also be the fact that in the past 2 years I've watched 4 VWs spontaneously combust on the roads - 2 Beetles, 1 Jetta and 1 Passat. I couldn't find a way to adapt a rotary, another very compact motor, to a FWD tranny.
I don't want a V8 so there goes the LS1 bolted to the vette transaxle and besides I'd really like to keep the car weight down to near the 1,000 lb mark. And since I'm not the best driver in the world if I get an engine with too much torque I embarrass myself when I get excited and accidentally give it too much throttle in the midst of a corner.
Now it just so happens that I have a spare S2000 motor laying around. I have a 2.0 in my S and I have a new 2.2 sitting in the garage. I could put the 2.2 in my S and use the 2.0 in a Locost or leave the S alone and use the 2.2. The S has some very special concerns in that if you get the wrong transmission ratios you could be going in and out of VTEC when you shift. Right now once you are in VTEC you stay in VTEC with the stock tranny.
I'm not brand or a specific motor loyal, I just want a great power to weight and good CG (hence being enamored with the Subie engine and the rotary). The S is a fabulous engine, but it's tall when compared to the Subie or Rotary.
This seems like it could be a good compromise, provided I can find a tranny. Does anyone know which VW/Audi longitudinal mount trannies would hold 250ish hp, comes with an LSD and can be had for a reasonable price? I haven't researched it yet cause we were really just BSing when this came up, but nothing anyone has said so far makes it sound like a horrid idea.

You do it like this
One question I've had about these setups is how rotational inertia affects performance. With a "standard" driveline setup, the driveline speed is directly proportional to the vehicle's speed, and under normal driving there aren't any necessary rapid changes to the rotational speed of the driveshaft. In these torque tube setups, though, the "driveline" speed is equal to the engine rpm, which means that it's rapidly changing every time you shift. This just seems like it'd have the same effect as having a big 'ole heavy flywheel, and really kill how fast the engine is able to accelerate/decelerate rpm-wise.
What am I missing here?
...the polar moment of inertia. A shaft has all it's mass much closer to its center-line than a flywheel. Therefore it takes less energy to accelerate/decelerate than a flywheel.

An experiment gone... unexpected6
So I had this fantasy about combining a cyanotype and a Polaroid transfer print. I thought it might be cool to combine this graphic looking cyanotype of a bit of scaffolding:
with this soft and dreamy polaroid of a windmill:
So I cut up my polaroid and transferred it to the cyanotype print. But the delicate sepia color of the polaroid was no match for the powerfull blue of the cyanotype.
I really didn't like it, so I decided to tranfer the polaroid a second time, to a blank piece of card. To my surprise, the cyanotype image had sort of imprinted itself on the dark bits of the polaroid.
So I got my cyanotpe/polaroid combination after all. Just not as I expected it.
