Cecily McMillan could get up to seven years on her conviction of hitting a plainclothes policeman who grabbed her in Zuccotti Park. The persecution of the Occupy activist has become emblematic of the state's use of the courts to criminalize nonviolent dissent and try to crush new mass movements.
Cecily McMillan—facing the possibility of seven years in prison for elbowing a plainclothes policeman in Zuccotti Park—is the latest victim of a cloaked offensive to destroy activist leaders.

On the second anniversary of that day in lower Manhattan when people sat down in outrage and stayed in dedication and solidarity and hope, remember how unpredictably the world changes, remember those doing heroic work that you might hear little or nothing about but who are all around you, remember to hope and remember to build.

Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges was in Zuccotti Park—the plaza in lower Manhattan known to Occupy Wall Street as "Liberty Square"—during the movement's one-year anniversary. The genie of protest it let loose can't be returned to the bottle of society's margins, he told RT America.

The one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street produced a lot of mainstream media stories that assured you Occupy was only a bunch of tents that came down last year. Don't buy it. A year is nothing and the mainstream media is oblivious to where power lies and how change works.

New York City officials are blaming Brookfield Properties, the owner of the park where Occupy Wall Street activists were camped for nearly two months, for thousands of dollars of damage done to books, computers and other property destroyed during the eviction of protesters.

Daniel Berrigan, undaunted at 92 and full of the fire that makes him one of this nation's most courageous voices, says there is one place where those who care about justice need to be—in the streets.
In the seventh episode of "The World Tomorrow," Julian Assange and key Occupy figures from both sides of the Atlantic met in a hollowed-out Deutsche Bank building to talk about the movement's inception and the challenges it has faced so far.

Occupiers are accusing New York police officers of beating and neglecting a woman who had a seizure after being handcuffed during the breakup of the movement's six-month anniversary party in Zuccotti Park on Saturday night.

Occupy had its glorious honeymoon when old and young, liberal and radical, comfortable and desperate, homeless and tenured all found that what they had in common was so compelling the differences hardly seemed to matter.
Occupiers rang in the New Year on Saturday night with a game of tug-of-war with the NYPD at Zuccotti Park. Instead of rope, however, activists and police officers struggled over the metal barricades that have surrounded the area since late September. Dawn Sunday saw the barriers replaced and the park closed to the public.

As those weary of Occupy Wall Street's insistence on direct democracy grow increasingly critical, Nathan Schneider with The Nation reminds us that it was anarchist principles that attracted and kept so many of its most devoted participants, and which point a way out of the contemporary party politics that have stifled so many voices.

On the evening of November 8th, Occupy Wall Street, the populist uprising built on economic justice and corruption-free politics that's spread like a lit match hitting a trail of gasoline, notched its first major political victory in the unlikeliest of places: Ohio.

Over a pair of steaming coffee cups, I was told that a secret faction has developed within New York City's Occupy movement, made up of big-name celebrities and would-be leaders, some of whom look determined to steer the movement in a direction of their choosing.

Occupy Wall Street may not occupy Zuccotti Park anymore, but it refuses to surrender its place in the national discourse.

Neither Brookfield Properties nor the NYPD wants journalists asking questions about an unmarked truck that has been pointing a surveillance camera at protesters in Zuccotti Park for the past few weeks. So much so that a police officer declared journalist Nick Turse's note-taking at the site to be illegal and ordered him to leave.
You may wonder what kind of goons Brookfield Properties—the owners of Zuccotti Park—hired to secure the area after Occupiers were evicted from the premises early Tuesday morning. At least one careless bigot numbered among the crowd.

The Rockets released Lin before he signed with New York. Lin became a Rocket again when the Knicks declined to match Houston's three-year, $25.1 million offer.
"I'm not looking to recreate what happened in New York," Lin said. "I want to be a consistent player. I want to get better.
"I don't know what my potential is. I don't know if I can play any better than I did during that stretch, but I'm going to find out to see how close I can get."
He said he is "at peace" with the Knicks not matching the Rockets' offer and is glad to be in Houston.
"I thought this was one of Jeremy's better games," said Rockets interim coach Kelvin Sampson, a former Washington State coach. "He attacked and played with swagger tonight, and that was good to see."

Group leader: Recognizing Israel more dangerous than Palestinian Nakba in 1948
Roee Nahmias
Published: 05.13.09, 10:41 / Israel News
Roee Nahmias
Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Abdullah Ramadan Shallah said Palestinian recognition of Israel would be "more dangerous than the Nakba of 1948", the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi reported on Wednesday.
In a speech delivered by telephone for an event in Gaza on Tuesday, Shallah said: "What is more dangerous than the Palestinian people's Nakba is that the ones with the rights recognize their enemies and deny their own rights. Everything that is happening in Jerusalem is the result of the deals, agreements and negotiations with the Zionist enemy."

By the time a young man was 14, he and his parents had usually decided upon his future. If he was good in his studies and the family had the money, he might go to college. Otherwise he would get training for a trade through the apprenticeship system. In 1766, Moses Church who was the master of the trade, Justin Hitchcock who was the apprentice-to-be, his father, and 2 others, witnessed this handwritten indenture. It states that Mr. Church will teach Justin Hitchcock the craft of hat making and also will give him food, drink, housing, and clothing. Justin promises to stay with Mr. Church until the age of 21 and to be "in all things a good honest and faithful servant and apprentice." Justin Hitchcock felt the importance of this indenture and saved it in his family papers.

"'Destroy Institutions': Ralph Nader and Jesse Jackson Call for College Students to Rise Up in Revolution, Blame Rush Limbaugh for 'Huge Ignorance Movement'"
From the Blaze and Rush Limbaugh.
Quick. Somebody email this off to Professor Brian Kiteley. So he can haughtily distance himself from civil rights activists, consumer advocates, and small college speaking circuits.
Comments (8)
Once those beaches start melting, I'm gonna freak the fuck out.
At first, I was hoping the questioners were being sarcastic and trying to punk Nader, but no! the questions were fucking serious.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah… drones the mind full of mush.
Our future leaders, folks.
I'm pretty sure that expressing an interest in learning stuff is what the kids call "acting white." Maybe Jesse's energies would be better focused on that.
You mean, Jesse "I get nervous when a black person walks up behind me in DC" Jackson has started a "Blame Limbaugh" movement?
Why, that takes us right back to the Clinton Administration.
Either that, or Jesse "I get nervous when a black person walks up behind me in DC" Jackson didn't get the "blame everything on Bush" memo.
To be fair, "Blame Bush" and "Blame Rush" are awfully similar in appearance. Maybe there was a typo on the Journolist. Or maybe the fax got smudged. Who can say?
No typo.
Because, "Blaming Bush," reminds everyone how much better life was three-plus years ago.
What are the roots of this "Hitler banned unions" urban legend? We have to understand what was going on in Germany at the time. Any economist will tell you, prior to Hitler's rise to power, that the Weimar Republic struggled under severe hyperinflation. The Weimar's hyperinflation is required study for every college student wishing to become an economist. What is hyperinflation? Webster's defines inflation as, "a continuing rise in the general price level usually attributed to an increase in the volume of money and credit relative to available goods and services", and defines hyperinflation as, "inflation growing at a very high rate in a very short time".
When Hitler came to power, he moved to correct this hyperinflation while keeping his national socialist views front and center. In 1933, the Nazis disbanded the Weimar unions and replaced them with the new and improved union, the German Labor Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF), which was comprised of 2 primary entities, the National Socialist Factory Organization and the National Socialist Trade and Industry Organization. The labor contracts that were Weimar contracts were now DAF-honored contracts. The Nazi's funded the DAF's coffers with the Weimar unions' stockpile of wealth (the existing unions were part of that inflation problem). One of the new unions' most popular programs was the Strength through Joy (Kraft durch Freude, KdF)) program, which developed the KdF-wagen, that later became the Volkswagen, or People's Car.
The primary goal of Germany's national socialists was to "create a classless" society. Hitler's unions were front and center in this cause. In fact, Hitler gave the unions their long-awaited demand, one that the Weimar unions were never able to pull off, a National Labor Day, May 1, 1933.
In my area, East Chicago highschool students walked out of class to protest the extended school year. I'm going to assume that teachers were behind this.
We used to mock these "60's wannabe" teachers. How far can this go?

One of USC's most decorated faculty members has received the highest honor bestowed by the United States for scientific innovation.
President Barack Obama presented Solomon Golomb, University and Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Mathematics, with the National Medal of Science for his advances in mathematics and communications during a White House ceremony in Washington, D.C., Feb. 1. Golomb has joint appointments in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and USC Dornsife.
"If there's one idea that sets this country apart, one idea that makes us different from every other nation on Earth, it's that here in America success does not depend on where you were born or what your last name is," Obama said, "success depends on the ideas that you can dream up, the possibilities that you envision, and the hard work — the blood, sweat and tears — that you're willing to put in to make them real.
"Today it's clearer than ever that our future as a nation depends on keeping that spirit of curiosity and innovation alive in our time. These honorees are at the forefront of that mission. Thanks to the sacrifices they've made, the chances they've taken — the gallons of coffee they've consumed — we now have batteries that power everything from cell phones to electric cars; we have a map of the human genome; new ways to produce renewable energy; we're learning to grow organs in the lab and better understand what's happening in our deepest oceans.
"And if that's not enough, the people on this stage are also going to be responsible for devising a formula to tame fizzy hair as well as inspiring the game Tetris," Obama said, ending on a reference to Golomb's "polyominos"— geometric figures formed by joining squares to one another — which were the inspiration for the classic video game.
USC President C. L. Max Nikias said Golomb was a deserving recipient of the tremendously prestigious honor.
"His many contributions to mathematics and engineering span more than five decades, and his mathematical coding schemes have advanced a number of important projects, including the imagery we received from Mars. USC is so proud to have been professor Golomb's academic home all these years."
The official citation given to him by the president praises his work on shift register sequences, random-looking sequences of 0's and 1's that actually have important, though hidden, mathematical structures that make them useful in a wide variety of applications from radar to cell phone systems to space communications.
"My research has always been directed by working on problems that I found interesting and challenging, and that I believed I had a chance to solve. I have never thought about receiving awards for my work, but it is always a pleasant surprise when they occur," said Golomb, who just completed his 50th year of teaching at USC.
Golomb was among 12 scientists and engineers so honored by the president this year. He joins the rarefied ranks of about 400 individuals who have received the award since 1963, when John F. Kennedy bestowed the first National Medal of Science on famed aerospace engineer Theodore von Kármán.

Morris/National Science & Technology Medals Foundation.
During the same ceremony, Obama presented chemistry alumnus Rangaswamy Srinivasan of the IBM Corporation with the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the nation's highest honor for technological achievement. Srinivasan's invention set the groundwork for laser eye surgery.
The award recognizes those who have made lasting contributions to America's competitiveness, standard of living and quality of life through technological innovation, and to recognize those who have made substantial contributions to strengthening the nation's technological workforce.
By highlighting the national importance of technological innovation, the medal is also meant to inspire future generations of Americans to prepare for and pursue technical careers to keep the nation at the forefront of global technology and economic leadership.
Earning his Ph.D. in chemistry in 1956, Srinivasan is credited with inventing an interaction between pulses of ultraviolet laser radiation and organic solid matter such as polymer (plastics) and living tissue under controlled conditions. He named his 1980 invention Ablative Photodecomposition (APD).
More than two decades later, a direct outcome of his invention is the process known as laser eye surgery or LASIK to correct visual impairments.
Srinivasan said it was gratifying to know that the work he did in USC Dornsife on the chemistry of proteins for his Ph.D. thesis under the supervision of professor Sidney W. Benson was the source of his inspiration 25 years later to study the interaction of animal tissue with the pulsed radiation from an ultraviolet, excimer laser.
"On that day in November 1981, I was amazed to find that the tissue was not 'zapped' as was the expectation among the laser scientists, but smoothly etched away, layer-by-layer, to leave a microscopic channel," Srinivasan said. "It took another 15 years before these observations would be developed as a medically-acceptable surgical technique for the reshaping of the human cornea. This is the process that is known today in all developed countries as LASIK eye surgery."
By 2003, nearly 4 million people had undergone laser eye surgery. The rate is 1.5 million procedures (one per eye) each year in the U.S. The average cost of $1,800 each procedure translates to a $2.7 billion a year industry. In other countries to date, 14.7 million procedures have been performed. Srinivasan holds 20 U.S. patents — 10 of which are of commercial significance.
A member of the National Academy of Engineering and inducted into the National Inventors' Hall of Fame, Srinivasan completed his postdoctoral work at the California Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester in New York. He worked at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown, New York — headquarters for IBM research — from 1961 to 2004.
In receiving the National Medal of Science, Golomb follows in the footsteps of USC alumnus Andrew Viterbi, namesake of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.
"These men and women of the 20th and now 21st Century embody passion, brilliance, creativity, risk, and determination," states the National Science and Technology Medals Foundation's Web site. "Their achievements have inspired new knowledge, shaped cultural revolutions, and driven world economies."
Golomb earned his bachelor's at Johns Hopkins University, completing a four-year degree program in 21 months with an A average. He finished the day before his 19th birthday. After completing his Ph.D. in Mathematics at Harvard, Golomb spent a year in Norway as a Fulbright Fellow and then returned to the States to work at JPL. Then, in 1963, he took a job at USC.
He came to USC because "I believed that at USC I had a chance to make a difference, and to help it achieve its potential; and I stayed because there has been steady progress on this path — in fact, more than I could have imagined 50 years ago."
The announcement of Golomb's National Medal of Science follows closely upon his receipt the Sigma Xi William Procter Prize for Scientific Achievement and his selection as a member of the inaugural class of fellows of the American Mathematical Society.
Golomb is also a recipient of the USC Presidential Medallion, the National Security Agency Director's Medal, the IEEE Shannon Award of the Information Theory Society, the Hamming Medal and three honorary doctorate degrees. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
He attributes his success to taking a practical approach to abstract — or "pure" — mathematics.
"My professors at Harvard took great pride in claiming that the subjects they were teaching were so 'pure' that they had no possible practical applications," he said. "My own approach to studying even the most abstract areas of mathematics was always to have one or more specific instances in mind."
The areas of mathematics that held Golomb's fascination turned out to have highly practical applications for the emerging digital world. Once modern computing was unlocked by the invention of the transistor, Golomb's expertise in "coded communications" and abstract mathematics put him in great demand.
"It helped that I always tried to think of the applications in the engineering context — and I was always willing to learn enough of the engineering application to be able to do this — so that whatever solutions I came up with made practical sense," he said. "Over time, I gained enough of a reputation that people I had never met sought me out with interesting practical problems that I had the ability to solve."
When Golomb began his career six decades ago, communications engineering was in its nascent stages. Now, he said, the "easy" problems have long since been solved. Cell phones and the Internet have transformed society, and created their own new challenges. Still pushing the boundaries of science at USC, Golomb now addresses questions related to multi-user communications, secure communications and cryptography.
"I continue to work on 'old' problems that have so far resisted attempts at solution," Golomb said, "as well as the many new problems generated by the explosion in communications applications."

March 26, 2014 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm| $45.00
Pairing cheese and wine to find the best combinations for your palate takes a little bit of science and a lot of experience. When you get it right, you know: The combination elevates what is already delicious into an experience that is truly transcendent. Get it wrong, and what should be a great cheese or wine falls flat (or worse.) In this class, you'll learn some general guidelines that will help you get it right more often than wrong, and tasting tips that will help you identify your own personal favorites.

When Stephen Kellogg talks about how the live shows he plays with The Sixers are the lifeblood of the band, he could simply be repeating one of the classic clichés of Rock & Roll. Or he could be referring to the very real fact that the group makes much of its living on the road, playing 20-plus dates a year.
But what Kellogg is really getting at is that he feels the concerts are where he and the Sixers really shine and offer something genuinely unique to fans who have discovered the Massachusetts-based band.
"I think what we're doing that's unique is we're giving people music that's not silly music, but we're giving them a light evening," Kellogg says. "That is something that is, I think, very unique to our band. You get to go hear cool music, and kind of have a laugh. It's like getting a comedian and a cool artist at the same time. And I think that's unique, and I think that's special about our group of guys."
Kellogg has a point. Proudly displaying a sunny disposition, both musically and as people, is not exactly the hip thing to do in a Rock world that seems to value only groups that seem serious, agitated or downright suicidal. Kellogg says his unwillingness to play to that trend hasn't done the Sixers any favors as far as getting reviews or being viewed by the music press as a "cool" band.
"I mean, we walk into festivals and we're the top-selling merch act there, just selling a (boatload) of CDs," he says. "And that's not appealing. They don't want to write (about that), because we're up there just having the times of our lives, big goofy-ass smiles, cracking dumb jokes. We're not cool. We're not dark and we're not mysterious and we wear our hearts on our sleeves. I admire those artists. They're artistes, you know, and I listen to some of them and I respect them. I don't begrudge any of them their success. But it's not who I am. I can't do it.
"As long as my life is as good as it is, I have a hard time going there. I've got a great family, I'm healthy, a cool job, I get to work with some of my best friends in the world. How can I go and pretend to be a dark, morose character?"
Actually, there are those who feel that Kellogg, 30, could complain plenty about his lot in the Rock & Roll life. He has an extensive discography, beginning with a pair of pre-Sixers solo albums and followed by four releases with the Sixers.
It was a 2005 self-titled release that started to really garner some attention to the band. The first of the group's CDs to have major label distribution, the album got strong reviews and had quite a few critics predicting a commercial breakthrough.
It didn't happen. The self-titled album topped out at about 25,000 copies sold. And the group's latest album, Glassjaw Boxer, probably won't become a smash hit either, since it won't benefit from any more marketing muscle than the previous album. (Glassjaw Boxer is being released by Everfine Records -- O.A.R.'s original label -- with distribution through Atlantic.)
Yet Kellogg isn't complaining. He says he never lets himself get caught up in the Next Big Thing predictions, and he sees lots of progress when it comes to the band's career.
"People have sort of written about us (being) on the brink of success for years," he says. "And for some people it's like, 'Well that didn't happen and it's over.' But what's ironic to me about that is everything we've done has always moved forward. We haven't had a rocket ride up, but if it's a tortoise and hare thing.
"The truth is -- maybe this sounds terrible -- I really don't want to be the Next Big Thing at all," he says. "I do want to grow. I want to be a lot bigger than we are because then we can put on better shows. Theaters are always going to have better production than clubs. It's for practical reasons. It's so we don't have to struggle financially. That's why I want to be bigger. But I'm 30 years old. I have no interest in having the paparazzi hang out. I don't know what to say to young girls. That's not really me."
Kellogg is certainly right when he talks about the band's continued musical growth. Glassjaw is the strongest effort yet from Kellogg and his bandmates (drummer Brian "Boots" Factor, guitarist Chris Soucy and bassist Keith "Kit" Karlson). Like earlier albums, it's a straight-ahead Pop Rock record that tries to be timeless as opposed to trendy. It works because Kellogg has a genuine gift for hooks -- both in his vocals and the guitar/piano melodies that support his singing.
Kellogg, who can draw from 60 songs that are rehearsed and ready to play live, says showing fans a good time and making each show memorable are his top priorities when he and the Sixers take the stage. It's a lesson he said he took, surprisingly enough, from going to Heavy Metal shows when he was in his teens.
"One of the things that I really related to and wanted to bring to our show was I wanted it to be entertaining," Kellogg says. "The music is one thing, but then I want people to leave with the feeling that they had a real night out and that they couldn't have just stayed home and listened to the record and had the same experience."

a must have
This review is from: White Knight Chronicles II Playstation3 Game
Pros: the first thing to notice, and i think is very important, is that you are able to play part 1 in this version, andi mean the whole game from part one. After you finish part one then you are also able to follow with part 2. You can also start the game from part 2 if you'd like. If you start from part 1 then you start at lv1, if you start with part 2 then you start with lv35.
Cons: yes, this game is not perfect, it has alot of letdowns:
Other Thoughts: overall, this game is a 19/20 for me. i dont know why other websites give it a very low rate. this game is the best RPG you will find for the PS3

I'm usually skeptical of catch-all "Asian" restaurants that offer the cuisines of many countries under one roof. If I want good sushi, I go to a Japanese restaurant run by Japanese people. Good massaman curry? Thai Express, of course. I'm not saying that catch-all places can't do a good job; they're just usually not my first choice. But I kept an open mind when my girlfriend Casey and I headed to Mason's Dao Modern Asian Cuisine on a recent Saturday evening.
There were plenty of guests at Dao when we arrived without a reservation around dinnertime, but we were seated right away in a big comfortable booth. We liked the sleek, stylish décor and there was a lot to look at. The hibachi chef was wowing some patrons at the flaming grill in the middle of the restaurant and servers were buzzing about.
Before our server arrived, we had time to seriously consider our drink options from their $7 cocktail and martini list. I chose the Asian Lychee Mojito, with Bacardi Limon, fresh mint and lychee liqueur. It was a little on the sweet side and the lychee gave it a light, refreshing quality. Casey ordered the Red Lotus, which also featured the tasty lychee liqueur added to vodka and cranberry juice. Some of the other interesting offerings were the Zombie (made with light and dark rum, vodka and juices), a Lychee Martini and a Chocolate Martini.
For appetizers we chose the Salt & Pepper Calamari ($6.95) and the Sushi Sampler ($8.95). The calamari was not the usual breaded rings and/or tentacles. They were long, thick strips scored in a crosshatch pattern and stir-fried. The large pieces of calamari had a lot of pokey edges that felt weird to eat, but they weren't bad and the sweet ginger soy dipping sauce was a good match. They also have Calamari Katsu ($6.95), which is battered in panko if you prefer a more typical presentation.
The sushi sampler — which included nigiri: tuna, salmon, yellowtail and shrimp — wasn't bad, but seemed like it might have been pre-assembled earlier instead of being made to order.
You can tell that kind of thing with sushi.
The menu seems enormous at first, but when you get down to it, it's pretty typical Chinese and Thai noodle and fried rice dishes, plus a sushi menu and create-your-own hibachi options. I had a hard time deciding between my favorite typical Chinese dish, General Tso's Chicken ($11.95) and Pad Thai ($9.95). I went with the Pad Thai with chicken because I've never met a Pad Thai I didn't like. The portion was large and came to the table nice and hot. The noodles were a little softer than what I'm used to, but not overcooked. They didn't ask me to specify how spicy I wanted it, but I'd say the spiciness level was about a three out of 10. So, not very spicy, but it was tasty and well made.
Casey ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken ($10.95). The batter seemed light and crispy instead of the all-too-common mushy scenario you get at other places. Big pieces of peppers and pineapple accompanied the chicken and rice, which was a nice touch.
Some of the signature entrées include Korean Bul Go Ki ($13.95), Mango Duck ($16.95) and Crispy Walnut Shrimp ($14.95). There are also several vegetarian and gluten-free options.
We ordered a Spider Roll ($8.95) from the Chef's Special Roll menu for good measure. The Spider Roll contains tempura soft-shell crab, avocado, cucumber and daikon sprouts. The good thing about this spider roll was that the pieces weren't too big to fit in your mouth like they usually are. We're usually both adamant about getting our fair half of the spider roll, but I think we actually left a piece on the plate this time, unimpressed with the overall flavor and quality.
Lastly, we tried the green tea and red bean flavors of Mochi Ice Cream ($3.50) for dessert. Though the ice cream wasn't very sweet, I was impressed that it wasn't the stuff you can buy at Asian markets around town and seemed made in-house.
The strengths of Dao Modern Asian are its sheer number of offerings, comfortable atmosphere and large booze selection. Though it wouldn't be my first choice for sushi, I'd stop in again if I was in the area and had a hankering for a big plate of noodles or to get in on the hibachi grill action.

Resolved Question:
how do you decypher ford 460 block # XXXXX and head # XXXXX ?

Those numbers are engineering part numbers, identifying the revision level of the parts. They do not establish the actual dates the parts were made or what vehicle the parts came from. Engineering part numbers were used to keep track of various changes made in the designs of parts over the years. For example, the first two digits of the engineering part numbers identify the year the design was last revised, for the block, it was 1971, for the heads, 1973. But these parts could have easily been cast years later using the same design, and installed in a later model year vehicle.
The block has a casting number in the valley that identifies when it was actually made.
What type of info were you hoping to find out?
Here is some info you may find useful:
Ford Production 460 Block Differences
Courtesy of Paul Kane
The available production cast iron block casting numbers are C8VE-A, C9VE-A, D0VE-A, D1VE-("xxx") and D9TE-AB.
I like to refer to all but the D9TE as the "early-style" blocks. The D9TE casting arrived in the 1979 model year and was utilized until the end of 460 production ( to 1996).
For the most part, all blocks and rotating asemblies are interchangable between all blocks except the D9TE. A D9TE rotating assembly will fit into an early-style block, but the opposite is not true.
All 429/460 Fords are internally balanced
except for the D9TE 460, which is externally balanced.
These block identifying marks (D1VE, etc.) are not actual casting numbers but are engineering revisions that are cast into the block castings themselves. And they are what we enthusiasts refer to when identifying our factory iron, as they give not so much the year that the block was made but rather the revision of the block as specified by said engineering revision. (Actual date code is in the lifter valley.)
Early-Style Blocks: For the most part (and with small exception), the C8VE, C9VE and D1VE blocks are all essentially the same configuration casting with the thinner main webs. The thicker main web block is the D0VE block, which may or may not have 4-bolt main caps on 2,3 & 4. (Very few D1VE blocks may be thick webbed.) All
production 385 blocks can be decked as needed, so this is a non-issue detail.
D9TE Blocks: The externally balanced rotating assembly utilizes a crankshaft that has slightly smaller counterweights. This was done to so that the cylinders of the D9TE block could be extended about .1875" deeper towards the crankcase. I believe the cylinders were lengthened in the D9TE block because this block was revised to double as a big equipment
block, and the dump truck rotating assemblies consisted of a very deep skirt piston that benefitted from the extended cylinder walls for support.
The deeper cylinders of the D9TE blocks are the reason that the early-style, internally balanced rotating assemblies will not fit (internal balance crank throws will not clear D9TE cylinders).
Since most prefer to use internally balanced rotating asembies in the performance applicaton, we usually opt for any block except the D9TE. There are also advantages to specific blocks within the group of early-style blocks, such as the D0VE-A's thick main webs...
Further, the D9TE block was presumed to be a lightweight ("late model") casting and therefore not very strong and also limited in it's overbore capability. But this belief is currently being re-evaluated for a couple of reasons:
1) No-one had yet evaluated D9TE cylinder wall thickness with a sonic checker, and preliminary testing suggests the block may not be so bad afterall.
2) Strokers have become popular and the D9TE's deeper cylinders offer more support for the increased-stroke rotating assemlies.
3) Most all aftermarket stroker kits use a crank with the dimensions of the externally balanced crank and so they fit the D9TE block as well as the early blocks.

there is a link on the homepage to the block summit page.
Block Weights
2-bolt D9TE-AB 4.36 bore = 229 lbs
2-bolt D9TE-A2 4.39 bore = 221 lbs
2-bolt C8VE 4.36 bore = 206 lbs
2-bolt C9VE-B 4.36 bore = 210 lbs
2-bolt D1VE-A2B 4.36 bore = 223 lbs
2-bolt D1VE-A2B 4.39 bore filled = 245 lbs
2-bolt D0VE 4.36 bore = 219 lbs
2-bolt D0VE 4.440 bore = 204 lbs
4-bolt D0VE-A block = 221 lbs
A460 block, factory rough undersize bore = 302 lbs
A460 block, 4.473" bore, roller cam brgs = 265 lbs
A460 block, 4.625" bore, roller cam brgs, unfilled with caps = 255 lbs
A460 block, 4.634" bore, roller cam brgs, filled to deck with caps = 268 lbs

Mechanical gremlins and a qualifying tumble plague Schumi's weekend race at Oschersleben
Schumacher's team, Honda Holzhauer Racing, showed promising performance at the start of the 8-hour race at Oschersleben but the team spent much time in the pits due to mechanical problems. Sources say Schumi's team-mates, Martin Bauer and Matthias Von Hammerstein, were pleased with the way the ex-F1 world champion rode, despite a tumble during qualifying.
In the end victory went to Team Kawasaki France in the fourth round of the Qtel FIM Endurance World Championship, with a one-lap lead over Yamaha Austria Racing Team and two laps over Suzuki Endurance Racing Team.
The next round of the Qtel FIM Endurance World Championship will take place in France at Nevers Magny-Cours for a 24 Hours race, the 13th and 14th of September.

Installed the Generic ZimbraME (J2ME Client) on the Palm Centro. Can see the setup screen, but cannot seem to be able to select any of the text fields to type anything in. Only button that works is the exit button on the setup screen.
Have several other users looking to buy a Samsung Instinct soon. Anyone know if the generic version works with that phone? I understand that the J2ME Client is (at least currently) no cost, but I also know they would be happy to purchase the java app for their phone if they would then have access to email. Calendar and other areas would be nice also, but I don't think that is as critical to them.
(I think our office at least would be happier purchasing aps for the phone rather than some type of extra client lic for the server, but maybe we are odd too?)

Another book for cooking on a budget
Monday, June 17, 2013
Here's another one - Live Your Life for Half the Price without Sacrificing the Life You Love, by Mary Hunt (of Debt-Proof Living). Not just about saving money in the kitchen, she has several chapters on that subject. Not everything is low carb, but a lot is already low carb friendly or can be made so.
She talks about other frugal resources, both books and online, and suggests a way to buy your food when it's on sale to build up a stockpile of food that you have bought cheaply. Then you use this cheap food in your cooking, from your own personal "store" instead of buying things for full price when you need it. It's something that I sort of do anyway, though it doesn't work very well for buying things at the Farmers Market where I buy a lot of my meat, eggs, and veggies. But if I were seriously trying to live very cheaply, I would definitely try to follow this plan.
There aren't many recipes, but there are a few, mostly for make-your-own mixes. While most are for Bisquick, cake mixes, etc., she also has some that are more relevant to us. Such as:
Instructions for what to do with a frozen 10-pound hunk of ground beef that you froze when you got it home instead of portioning it out in smaller packages. (She has lots of kids so buys in bigger sizes than I do. But even a three or five pound chunk of frozen ground beef is a problem! The soluntion - dump it, frozen, in a big stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, until no longer pink. Drain in a colander, saving the broth which you can use for soup later. Portion out the cooked meat and broth and freeze. Or use immediately, if you like. The meat won't be browned, but will work fine in recipes like lasagna or chili or things like that that call for cooked hamburger.)
A Make-Your-Own-Casserole type chart, with lists of foods of various types (sauces (mostly cream of something soup), protein, veggies, starches (which could be skipped), etc.) and instructions for combining them into casseroles of whatever you happen to have on hand.
A recipe for Dry Onion Soup Mix.
Recipes for Gravy Mixes, but they call for flour. I'm sure they could be adjusted to low carb, and if you know how, please let me know!
A recipe for Taco Seasoning Mix.
A recipe for what amounts to Shake and Bake. It calls for dry bread crumbs. Maybe substitute either low carb bread crumbs or pork rind crumbs?
Directions on how to roast and grind your own coffee for much less than roasted coffee beans cost.
And lots more.

Following announcements late last week that Bank of America was planning to charge a $5 fee for debit card use, and that other banks were considering adding similar fees, Republicans quickly blamed Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin.
Durbin's amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act caps fees banks have been raking in from retailers for processing debit card transactions -- a charge the Chicago Tribune dubbed the "Durbin fee." But the senator says the fees could actually have a positive impact on Illinois' economy by driving dissatisfied customers to community banks and lessening the damage on retailers and small business owners statewide.
Durbin responded to the Bank of America proposal, which other banks including Wells Fargo & Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and SunTrust Banks Inc. have expressed interest in mimicking, by sending a letter to the presidents of the Illinois Bankers Association, the Illinois Credit Union League and the Community Bankers of Illinois Tuesday morning. The letter urged smaller banks and credit unions to "seize this competitive opportunity" as Illinois consumers look to move their deposit accounts to smaller financial institutions.
"Now is the moment for smaller banks and credit unions to make crystal clear to these consumers the superior benefits and customer service that your institutions provide compared to the Wall Street giants," he wrote in his letter to Linda Koch, Dan Plauda and Robert Wingert.
As a result of Durbin's amendment, the Federal Reserve instituted a 24 cent cap on swipe fees Saturday, roughly 20 cents lower than the previous average swipe fee. Running a card costs banks roughly between 7 and 10 cents per swipe.
Durbin's comments echo frustrations with large national banks that have exploded into a nationwide movement in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street, an ongoing demonstration against consumer abuse whose Chicago chapter reached its 13th day of protests today.
In a press conference Tuesday morning, Durbin slammed the proposed Bank of America fee as greedy and opportunistic, citing that a rough calculation suggests the $5 monthly fee will generate profits far in excess of any profits the bank would lose because of his interchange fee amendment, which limits the size of fees charged to retailers for debit card transactions that he says have translated to inflated pricing, hurting retailers and consumers.
At the news conference and in the letter he sent out Tuesday morning, Durbin said that the window before Bank of America's fee goes into effect is a key moment for smaller banks and credit unions in Illinois.
"I believe in something called competition. Great word. We use it in a free market economy. And if the Bank of America decides they want to run the risk of losing their customers, I want their customers to make the conscious decision to take their business to banks that will treat them better," Durbin said. "This is an opportunity for community banks and credit unions that issue debit cards to win some customers over. That's going to help our state and our economy. It's an opportunity for customers to get a break, and it's a break for retailers who've been penalized by these banks for so long."
Rep. Brad Miller, a Democrat from Bank of America's home state of North Carolina, told HuffPost that the next step in this process would be making it easier for consumers to switch banks by simultaneously swapping direct deposit, electronic bill paying and other automatic features that make switching banks difficult. He said easing the process of switching banks will be the most effective way to empower consumers against abuse by big banks.
"If we can find a way to introduce real competition into banking, that'd do more than any regulation," Miller told HuffPost. "The biggest banks have turned the switch for market forces to the off position. If consumers could shop around for banks the way they can for everything else, banks wouldn't think they had a God-given right to pay their executives vulgar bonuses and still make enormous profits, and consumers would get a much better deal."
Durbin also emphasized the statewide benefits of easing transaction fees for Illinois retailers, which can trickle down to consumers through lower prices and economic stimulation--more profitable businesses "will be able to hire more employees at a time when we need more jobs," Durbin said during the news conference.
When asked about the many criticisms blaming his amendment for the looming debit card fees, including his home state newspaper the Tribune, Durbin dismissed them as misinterpretations of the origins of these new charges.
"There are a lot of reasons I ran for office," he said in the news conference. "Protecting the profits and bottom lines of banks and credit card companies was not one of them." He later added: "If Bank of America decides they want to nail their loyal customers, they should be held accountable."

I am trying to add an image to a BLOB field in a mysql database. The image is going to be less then 100kb in size. However I am running into problems and was wondering what would be a better way to add this data to the database?
com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Data too long for column 'Data' at row 1
PreparedStatement addImage = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO Images (Width, Height, Data) VALUES (?,?,?)",Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
Below is the method that I am using to add the image into the database.
public int addImage(Image image) throws SQLException, IllegalArgumentException
byte[] imageData = ImageConverter.convertToBytes(image);
int width = image.getWidth(null);
int height = image.getHeight(null);
if (width == -1 || height == -1)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("You must load the image first.");
this.addImage.setInt(1, width);
this.addImage.setInt(2, height);
this.addImage.setBytes(3, imageData);
ResultSet rs = this.addImage.getGeneratedKeys();
return rs.getInt(1);
After Changing the datafield type to a Mediumblob and attempting to place a 140kb image file into the database i received a different error.
com.mysql.jdbc.PacketTooBigException: Packet for query is too large
Is the problem the way in which i am trying to add the data to the database. Should I take a different approach? If so which way?

A stamp is a usually rectangular, often Postwertzeichen, which is printed on paper and for the payment of the transport of mails (or other achievements of the post office) serves. In addition the stamp is stuck by the sender on the letter and cancelled by the carrying post office by means of a postmark.
Before the first official stamp of the world was spent 1840, there were numerous forerunners. Thus the tenant that created Paris city post office, Jean Jacques Renouard de Villayer, already 1653 the Billet de haven , a stamp-similar fee strip of paper. This strip had to be fastened in the absence of an adhesive surface with clammy ones or thread to the letter. No copy of these Billets is today received to more.
Also in Great Britain there were comparable forerunners. Starting from 1680 the system of a uniform price for restaurant post office with freeing by marks, developed of London penny of post office of the buyers William Dockwra and Robert Murray, it was so successful that the Duke OF York saw its postal monopoly in danger. On its complaint London penny of post office had to give their business up after only two years; it was integrated into the general post office Office. Some the triangular stamps (English triangular postmarks) London penny of post office are received in archives, four copies are in private possession to be.
At the beginning 19. Century were there in some cities city covers so mentioned, which can be regarded as forerunners of printed stamps on envelopes. On Sardinien there was for example 1818 a post office paper provided with a stamp (Carta postale bollata), British newspapers settled reply cards was likewise already franked around 1821. As first complete things are considered the 1838 in the Australian Sydney spent type character sheets.
The philosophy of the invention of the stamp was to have drawn in the letter postage no more from the receiver but by the sender. Thus the first "Prepaid system" (Vorherzahlung and afterwards used) was created. In addition with it a simplification and a lowering of the letter postage were connected, so that an exchange of letters was reserved no longer only rich persons.
Already 1836 made the Austrian Laurenz Koschier out loaf oh the suggestion of the introduction from stamps to the simplification of the postal service for the Austrian government. The Scottish bookseller James Chalmers submitted 1838 a similar suggestion. Sir Rowland Hill, which was entrusted by the British government 1835 with the reformation of the postal service, took up this suggestion probably and into its post office reform referred. It is considered thereby as an author of the stamp.
The first adhesive stamp became to 6. May 1840 after the suggestions the kingdom united by Rowland Hill in given change. One calls the value to a penny in collecting tank circles One penny of Black. It is considered as the first stamp of the world.
Rowland Hill was responsible also for the motive of the first two stamps. For the organization several thousand drafts were submitted, which were rejected without exception by it. The design cribbed itself Rowland from Hill therefore from an intending coin from the year 1837, which particularly pleased it. The value to a penny carries haven-guesses/advises the queen Victoria on black reason, the value to two pence on blue reason. The Stecher of the first stamps was Henry Corbald. With the pressure printering Perkins, Bacon Petch were entrusted.
After the expenditure of the first two stamps of the world other countries followed already briefly. 1841 and 1842 appeared in the USA some restaurant marks. 1843 appeared further stamps in Brazil (Ochsenaugen) and in both Swiss the cantons Zurich and Geneva (double Geneva). The first German stamp was the black Einser, which was published on 1 November 1849 by the Kingdom of Bavaria. 1850 followed the German States of Hanover, Prussia, Saxonia and Schleswig-Holstein and 1851 bathing. The first Austrian stamp was published on 1 June 1850. It had also for Liechtenstein validity.
Soon also new kinds of stamp developed as for example in Austria 1851 the first newspaper marks of the world. As the first special mark of the world one is usually regarded in April 1871 on the occasion of the opening of the first railway line in Peru spent stamp. But not all historians support this opinion (see: ). Nevertheless one can say that ever more was recognized the advertising effectiveness by stamps.

Major item: Philatelie
By those racing fast propagation of the stamp spread also the Philatelie ever more. The term Philatelist was coined/shaped in the year 1864 by the French collecting tank Georges Herpin. It meant translates its that from state loads is taxfree" from the Greek "friend. Although this word describes the collecting passion of the Philatelisten only conceivablly badly, it became generally accepted in nearly all languages.
Stamps are nowadays common as collecting objects far. First one collected the small Postwertzeichen from the day's mail only from fun and used her for example for pasting lamp screens, which nearly always destroyed the collecting objects. Only slowly some people began themselves to concern with the stamps more exactly. For the collecting tank at that time it was natural and also possible to put on general collections so mentioned. This means that the Philatelist took up all stamps of the world to its collection. This would be nowadays inconceivable with the mass of the different issues of stamps.
With the time numerous aids for the Philatelisten developed. In the year 1860 the first stamp albums appeared. Already one year later, the first forerunners of the today's stamp catalogs originated in to 1861. In the year 1862 it came to the expenditure of the first philatelic technical periodicals. It concerns thereby The Monthly Advertiser, which appeared to the stamp for the first time in the native country on 15 December 1862. The stamp magazines promoted above all the exchange of stamps between the Philatelisten. In addition they reported worth knowing one the Philatelie on the New editions of the whole world and informed the collecting tanks about everything.
Beside the new aids for the Philatelisten also ever more stamp associations and meetings developed particularly for the Philatelisten. Already from the year 1856 meetings of Philatelisten are well-known in the USA. In the year 1866 it came there to the establishment of the Excelsior Stamp Association, the first stamp association of the world.
The rising number of philatelic associations led to numerous unions. In Germany this is today the federation of German Philatelisten, in Austria the federation of Austrian Philatelistenvereine.
Major item: Post office falsification
The rapid propagation of the stamp did not only have positive accompaniments. Ever more counterfeiter recognized the lucrative business of stamp falsifications, the post office falsifications in such a way specified.
Already briefly after the introduction of the first stamp to 6. May 1840 in Great Britain the first complete falsifications of stamps emerged. Beside these complete falsifications there were however also numerous partial falsifications of post office-valid stamps. This means that only parts of a genuine stamp were changed by their post office value to increase. To them for example the color change by chemical means as well as the manipulation of the Wertziffern belong, in order to imitate stamps with higher nominal values.
Also stamps already used were often again used, as from two (or several) used pieces in laborious manual work an unused stamp was together-tinkered. One tried to remove the feather/spring course or the postmark by chemical means. In addition one knew stamps, by which only a small part was provided with a postmark, together with an original mark uses, which covers exactly this part. Already early postal administrations met most diverse protection devices, in order to protect their stamps against falsifications. The oldest protection-took someone's measurements against post office falsifications is the water-mark. It was used already on recommending Rowland Hills with the first stamps of the world.
Some countries used a fiber paper for their stamps. With this special kind of paper the paper pulp (often differently colored) silk thread flakes were added, which became later visible in the paper. With some issues of stamps into the still wet paper pulp a colored silk thread was embedded. One finds these preventive measures for example with the issues of stamps of the German States of Bavaria and as well as in Switzerland. Colored paper should likewise make falsifying more difficult. If the paper is only frontlaterally colored, one speaks of colored paper. One finds this preventive measure for example with the first stamps Bayerns.
In Austria one provided the stamp paper with shining lacquer strips. This should a removing from postmarks, in order to be able, strongly make more difficult to use the stamps again. The lacquer strips partly dissolved with the mark picture in the water (or other liquids).

All Web retailers should have an interest in this case, certainly including this one. If the auto dealers can buy their business model as law in a state legislature Pay-To-Play system, other brick and mortar retailers will bring their checkbooks and stand in line.
Texas is preventing Tesla auto (TSLA) from selling cars over the Web in Texas, they must be sold through a conventional franchised dealer only. That basically kills any real future for electrics in Texas as they break the business model for conventional dealers. They make most of their money in their service and used car departments, not new car sales. For them car sales are a bit like the razor-razor blade model. Electrics, done right, require little service.
Technology can't presently make low-end electric cars that are practical - meaning with a range of at least 200 miles. Tesla at the high end can just put in a humongous Li-Ion battery and the market is paying for it. A step or two in the battery tech would bring electrics into being competitive in everyday use. IC engine cars especially at the high end with eight speed up auto transmissions, tighter emission controls, exotic materials for light weight plus robustness in accidents, and increasing CAFE requirements can only increase steeply in price and complexity. Texas proposes freezing technology where it is.
Texas, a Confederate state under the covers, talks up capitalism, individualism, free enterprise, and all that. But, like the others, the reality is who shows up in the state capitol with a check.
Everything is bigger in Texas, especially the sausages up the politician's butts. Good 'ol boy network in action.
Dig down a bit in Texas and it's still the late 1800's. But it has it's own history and the more people and businesses they import, the less important the would be Plutocrats become. But they still have the US Pay-To-Play political system. eBay, Amazon, eCommerce in general, should be the next targets there. Nothing can be taken for granted.

Sisters on a run
Reluctant to start
Car almost hit both of us
Sisters on a run
We really weren't looking forward to a run but had to get in our half marathon training. Maybe it was foreshadowing and we sensed a car would try to barrel into us?
We decided to try to do a better job of faking our happiness about leaving for a run.
