Norwich rail improvements on the way as franchise extension confirmed
PUBLISHED: 07:05 16 April 2014
Archant © 2012
Major improvements are on the way for rail travellers on the main line to London with government confirmation that Abellio Greater Anglia will run trains for another two years.
As part of their franchise extension, the Dutch-owned company will refurbish all the InterCity carriages used on the main line to London.
As well as being repainted, they will be completely refreshed internally.
New seat coverings and carpets will be fitted. New wi-fi will be installed, and electricity plugs to enable owners of mobile phones or computers to recharge their devices will be installed at all seats. New lighting will be installed.
Tanks to collect effluent will be installed below all the carriages – ending the practice of dumping waste on the track.
As well as the InterCity carriages, Greater Anglia will also oversee the updating of many of the electric units used on commuter services in Essex and up to Ipswich.
The Class 321 units will have accessible toilets and wheelchair spaces installed for the first time.
Chloe Smith, Norwich North MP, part of the 'Norwich in 90' Taskforce campaigning for a quicker train service from London to Norwich, said: "This shows that we are delivering on a better rail service for our constituents. Alongside long-term improvements coming from the Norwich in Ninety taskforce, this announcement gives us some of the important things that passengers need, straight away. In the short-term and the long-term we are working hard for a better, faster and more reliable rail service for our constituents. Better infrastructure will bring more jobs to Norwich over time."
The improvements to the carriages will make journeys more comfortable, but Ipswich MP Ben Gummer said this would not be a long-term solution to the region's rail needs – in the long term there would be a need for new trains.
Mr Gummer, a member of the task force looking at improving services on the Great Eastern Main Line, said: "These improvements are very welcome and work has already started on updating the carriages.
"But the upgrade is only for six or seven years. After that new legislation will mean the carriages have to be taken out of service. The doors are not being rebuilt would be needed if they were to continue after then."
The upgrade is a clear signal from the Department for Transport (DTp) that when the new long-term contract for the region starts in October 2016, the winning bidder will be expected to outline proposals to introduce new trains on the main line.
The announcement about the new franchise extension for Abellio was made to the London Stock Exchange first thing this morning. The franchise extension runs from July this year until October 2016.
Meanwhile new figures from the Office for Rail Regulation show that rail users in East Anglia receive one of the lowest government subsidies in the country.
Abellio Greater Anglia had to pay the DTp 19pc of its revenue – but 29pc of the cost of running the infrastructure was met by the government, meaning that overall the taxpayer funded 10pc of the region's rail services.
East Anglia's trains are some of the oldest on the network – the average age is 25.5 years and is getting older as no new vehicles will be coming in before 2016 at the earliest.
Another major finding from the survey is that 44pc of Abellio Greater Anglia's passengers travel on season tickets – that is a similar proportion to other suburban services around London.
And the announcement of the improvements to services in East Anglia comes as Witham MP Priti Patel, another member of the task force, has written to new managing director of the rail company Jamie Burles to discuss concerns felt by Essex travellers.
She said she hoped to discuss the needs of Essex commuters as Abellio considers whether to bid for the long franchise which is due to start in two and a half years' time.

LAUDERDALE LAKES, Fla. - Lauderdale Lakes Vice Mayor Patricia Hawkins-Williams says she's all about helping her city's children.
But now she's accused of taking money that wasn't hers to take from the city's youth football program, the Lauderdale Lakes Vikings.
Williams supplied t-shirts to the Vikings for a fundraiser. League president Lee Austin said offered to reimburse her the costs for the t-shirts after they were old and he confirmed that she accepted a total of $750 in cash at the concession stand.
But city records show that Williams didn't pay for the shirts -- taxpayers did. Those records show she charged the shirts to her city expense account and the printer of the shirts, N & J Printing in Lauderdale Lakes, confirmed it was paid by the city.
"We had no idea about that," said Austin. "We thought it was her personal money that she was donating to the program."
When questioned about the shirts, Williams initially referred questions to her attorney, but wouldn't say who that was. When I pressed her on camera on the matter, she said, "Anybody can make any kind of statement they want to make but the truth will always come out."
At one point she seemed to deny accepting the cash but deflected my questions.
"If I'm the bad person because of the kids then that makes me the bad person," she said. "Because I'm going to do what's right for the kids."
City activist Gwen Denton has filed an ethics complaint against Williams in the matter.
"You can't sit on the dais and abuse your power to do whatever you want to do with our tax dollars it's our money," she said. "As long as you're doing something to help our young people I support that but don't take from them."
Austin has no official record of paying the cash to Williams, but two additional concession stand workers confirmed that they witnessed the commissioner taking cash.

Bear Aware Tips
The wildlife that you encounter here at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, can leave an indelible impression on your vacation. We share this environment with many animals that call Fairmont Hot Springs home. Large or small, every animal deserves our respect. Sharing this space with the local wildlife means that encounters with the large animals indigenous to the area are not uncommon.
British Columbia is home to 25% of Canada's Black Bear population and 50% of Canada's Grizzly Bear population. Although you may not see bears at Fairmont Hot Springs on a daily basis, they are here and we are constantly working to create a safe environment for our guests and the local bear population. Being Bear Aware, means following a set of best practices that will limit the potential danger that is inherent when sharing the environment with bears.
Being Bear Aware starts with knowledge.
About bears:
•Bears can run as fast as horses, uphill or downhill.
•Bears can climb trees, although black bears are better tree-climbers than grizzly bears.
•Bears have excellent senses of smell and hearing, and better sight than many people believe.
•Bears are strong. They can tear cars apart looking for food.
'Ä¢Every bear defends a "personal space". The extent of this space will vary with each bear and each situation; it may be a few metres or a few hundred meters. Intrusion into this space is considered a threat and may provoke an attack.
•Bears aggressively defend their food.
'Ä¢All female bears defend their cubs. If a female with cubs is surprised at close range or is separated from her cubs, she may attack. An aggressive response is the mother grizzly's natural defense against danger to her young.
'Ä¢A female black bear's natural defense is to chase her cubs up a tree and defend them from the base. However, she is still dangerous and may become aggressive if provoked.
Bear safety essentials:
'Ä¢Respect all bears – they all can be dangerous.
•Never approach a bear.
•Never attempt to feed a bear.
'Ä¢Be defensive – never surprise a bear.
•Learn about bears. Anticipate and avoid encounters.
•Know what to do if you encounter a bear.
•Each bear encounter is unique. No hard and fast rules can be applied when dealing with a potentially complex situation.
When in Bear Country:
•Avoid conflict by practicing prevention.
•Be alert.
•Look for signs of recent bear activity. These include droppings, tracks, evidence of digging, and claw or bite marks on trees.
'Ä¢Make your presence known by talking loudly, clapping, singing, or occasionally calling out. Some people prefer to wear bells. Whatever you do, be heard! It doesn't pay to surprise a bear.
•Keep children close at hand and within sight.
•Photographing bears can be dangerous. Use a long-range telephoto lens.
'Ä¢There is no guaranteed minimum safe distance from a bear – the further, the better.
•Stay away from dead animals. Bears may attack to defend such food.
•It is best not to hike with dogs, as dogs can antagonize bears and cause an attack. An unleashed dog may bring a bear back to you.
•Never leave pets unattended.
Your food and garbage:
•Odours attract bears. Reduce or eliminate odours from yourself, your camp, your clothes, and your vehicle.
'Ä¢Don't sleep in the same clothes you cook in.
'Ä¢Store food so that bears cannot smell or reach it. Don't keep food in your tent – not even a chocolate bar.
•Properly store and pack out all garbage.
•Handle and store pet food with as much care as your own.
Tips from: (B.C Government, Ministry of Environment, Environmental Stewardship Division, 1996)
Being Bear Aware this summer will ensure your safety, the safety of others in the Valley and the safety of the bears. Enjoy the summer and stay safe.

Adams bringing NBA All-Star to New Zealand
New Zealand's NBA rookie Steven Adams is coming home for a working holiday - and he's bringing a rather famous friend.
The 20-year-old Oklahoma City Thunder centre has signed with global sporting giants adidas, who have helped rope in current NBA All-Star Brook Lopez to accompany him to Wellington.
In a coup for New Zealand basketball, the seven-foot duo will run a training camp and autograph session at the ASB Sports Centre in Kilbirnie on Sunday.
Adams will also make an announcement on his international availability for the Tall Blacks.
In June, Adams became the first New Zealander to be picked in the first round of the NBA draft when the Thunder selected him at No 12.
He is unavailable for the Tall Blacks' series against Australia but is taking a short break from training in Oklahoma to make a string of appearances in New Zealand.
Adams will visit his old school Scots College and sign autographs with the All Blacks in Wellington on Friday-week ahead of the Bledisloe Cup test on August 24.
As Adidas stable-mates Adams and Lopez have been working out together and have formed a friendship.
The 25-year-old Lopez was selected in the Eastern Conference All-Star team for the first time this year after a stellar season with the Brooklyn Nets.
Lopez, regarded as possibly the most offensively skilled centre in the league, averaged 19.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks.
He will be eyeing a potential NBA championship with the Nets, who recruited Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Andrei Kirilenko, Jason Terry and rookie coach Jason Kidd in a blockbuster off-season.
Lopez will be one of the bigger sporting names to set foot in New Zealand in recent times.
Those interested in participating in Sunday's training camp can register by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
The clinic runs from midday-3pm and is open to boys and girls aged 10-17. The cost is $30.

By Walter Kurtz, Sober Look
Store sales in the US dipped on a YoY basis last week as we see the first effects of Hurricane Sandy on high frequency economic data. The effect is expected to be temporary however.
Econoday: – Hurricane Sandy kept consumers indoors during the November 3 week but made for only a modest 0.2 percent decline in ICSC-Goldman's same-store sales index. But the year-on-year rate shows more effect, at plus 1.4 percent which is down almost in half from the prior week and is the lowest rate since June. But ICSC-Goldman sees a snap-back in the November 10 week as both consumers and retailers begin to resume normal shopping patterns and recover from Sandy's aftermath.
Source: Econoday
Despite expectations of a quick recovery in sales, the aftermath of this storm may linger for some time. A number of retail businesses in the North East are still struggling, which means that certain areas may take longer to recover.
WWD: – Hurricane Sandy's dramatic impact could make an already-challenging fall season decidedly more difficult for many Northeast retailers.
Days after the storm devastated New York City and much of New Jersey,many storeowners were still struggling to get back to business, as massive power outages, major store and office closures and shipping delays crippled the region.
Moreover, disruptions in the supply chain may impact sales outside the areas hit by the storm.
The Ledger: – The economic effects of Hurricane Sandy are reverberating beyond areas hit by the storm as businesses warn customers of delays, try to get merchandise out of closed ports and face canceled orders.
In addition to shutting down shipping terminals and submerging warehouses, the storm also tangled up deliveries because of downed power lines, closed roads and scarce gasoline in parts of New York and New Jersey.
The supply chain is backing up at a crucial time, just as retailers normally bring their final shipments into stores for the holiday shopping season, which retailers depend on for annual profitability
And unfortunately those who live on the East Coast are looking at another storm – a Nor'easter that may bring snow tomorrow – that could further delay the ongoing recovery efforts.

Shelf Life of Ammunition
As a practical matter, most of us will never have to fire our weapons in defense of our homes or loved ones. Even so, if we got a weapon for home defense or personal protection, we'll be loading some kind of appropriate self defense ammo. That ammo is pretty expensive compared to plain FMJ practice rounds. You might run a few expensive magazines of the defense ammo to check feed and function. After that you'll just keep the defense ammo for defense.
Which brings me to my question: How long can you keep a couple magazines filled with defense ammo without risking a malfunction? And a related question: What can you do to extend that shelf life?
Keep it dry and from extreme temps.... I often shoot old surplus ammo with out any difficultys... Some has even been from the 30's
I know a guy who regularly fires .300 British ammo from the 40's. Keep it clean, dry and at a normal temp and it will last a lifetime if you want to keep it that long. My recommendation, cycle through your self defense stuff at least once a year. The cost spread out over a year won't hurt too bad unless you are talking about a stockpile rather than a couple mags of hollow points for home defense...lol
If kept dry and clean it will outlast you. I shoot .45 ACP that has '42-'44 headstamps. I have shot a pile of it and have only had a couple of failures to fire. I have a feeling they would have failed to fire in '42 or '44 too.
Loaded, quality, magazines will remain functional for years as well. It is a myth that the springs take a set after a short time.
Any weapon used for self defense should be shot often enough to cycle through magazines and ammo, but I would not be concerned about "shelf life".
All that said, I did forget about a case of shotgun shells that I put in my barn for about five years. I live in Florida where heat and humidity is a serious issue. When I found them, I took out a couple of boxes that showed signs of weathering and sure enough I had enough failures to mark all of the boxes for only practice use.
1920's and '30's 8x56r. 1940's 8x57, 1940's .303 brit. I still have some 20 year old reloaded hunting rounds for 8x57 and .303. I still use paper hulled shotgun ammo from the 1960's.
Doh, I meant .303 Brit in my post. Not something I shoot...lol. Sorry for the misinfo.
As said- dry, away from temp extremes- AND AWAY FROM WD-40! I shoot up and replace my social purpose ammo once a year, but I have 8mm ammo with Nazi waffenampt marks, and .303 Enfield from same era. Shoots fine.
Like this?
The last 8x57 will never see a chamber!!!!!

Because of his particular journey with MS (the experiences can be very different) Ramin has been slowed down by an illness that took away his independence for a long time. Relapse-free, he is now in the slow but steady fight to recover and he gets frustrated with himself, with me and his body, his mind.
Next time you're in your local pharmacy, take a detour to the men's shaving aisle. When you get there, scan the shelves in front of you. You'll see high-gloss packaging, lots of "Fusion" and "Turbo" and "Mach" brands. It's almost like you're in the Formula 1 pit lane, isn't it? The choice seems abundant.
To anyone who takes only a cursory interest in the tech world, it's quite hard to understand how Microsoft has gotten itself into quite such a difficult situation. They were giants and pioneers, and they had it all. They were shaping the world, and suddenly the world left them behind - fascinating and terrifying to watch all at once.

Sefko: Mavs can help themselves in draft and have option to take a risk on Andrew Bynum, DeMarcus Cousins
Beat writer Eddie Sefko answered questions in a chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights.
Odie ... Assuming over the next few years the Mavs can't land a superstar to complement Dirk, what's the next strategy? If we build a roster of 9 deep good players is that enough to compete in the west?
Eddie Sefko: Maybe, if they're nine really good and really unselfish players. Denver has it figured out in that regard. They hit a nice double with Ty Lawson in the middle of the first round a couple years ago and maximized the Carmelo chip when they had the chance. Terrible break for Gallinari with the ACL. But it was still a great trade for the Nuggets. And it may work out for the Knicks, too. But the Mavericks don't have somebody like that they can trade. So they'll have to use cap space to accrue talent. And the draft, since they'll be picking 13th, most likely, this summer. Finding a couple of good, young, hustling, workaholic players who can both average 15 points and grab rebounds and/or distribute the ball would be akin to finding one big fish. But it's never easy to locate those kinds of players. Even identifying them can be tough. The one thing I'd say is that the Mavericks still have the option of taking a chance on a risky player like Andrew Bynum or DeMarcus Cousins. Both have talent. And both have warts. Those kinds of players can work out great or they can go bust on you in a hurry. Let's trust the Mavericks for now to figure out whether either one of them is ready to become the superstar that their talent suggests they should be.
jason ... will watching the playoffs from home inspire mark Cuban to forget collecting cap space and one year rentals to actually get this team back to championship level?
Eddie Sefko: Probably not. He's pretty stubborn about believing that the plan he has in place will work, eventually. And this summer, as Dirk Nowitzki said in Tuesday's SportsDay, is huge for the franchise. Going one or two years without landing a key acquisition after detonating a title team is one thing. But it can't keep happening over and over again. Nowitzki has said he will help in the recruiting process this summer if it will help. And it will, by the way. So let's see what if they can find a take for that $15-million or so. While listening to the crickets, I'll throw this scenario out for the dozens of you lurkers out there who don't want to ask questions: Would you like to see the Mavericks draft Dieng from Louisville? Assuming he comes out and hasn't played himself higher in the lottery. Guy is a pretty darn good passing big man and seems like the athletic body that could patrol the paint like Serge Ibaka. It's just a thought.

Fairfax County Department of Family Services to Honor Adoptive Families
Fairfax County Department of Family Services
12011 Government Center Parkway, Suite 500
Fairfax, VA 22035-1102
October 23, 2008
On Friday, November 7, from 6 - 9 p.m., the Fairfax County Department of Family Services will "roll out the red carpet" in honor of adoptive families as part of National Adoption Awareness Month at the Fairfax County Government Center (12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, VA 22035). The public is invited to join Fairfax County adoptive families in the celebration.
The celebration will recognize two adopted youth who have made significant achievements in their adoptive placements. The celebration will also highlight the musical and artistic talents of adopted children. Any child who has these attributes, and is willing to showcase them at the event, is asked to contact Stephanie Pegues with the Department of Family Services at 703-324-7792; TTY 703-222-9452, by Monday, Oct. 27. In addition, professional photographs will be taken and provided to all adoptive families in attendance.
This year's guest speaker will be Krystle Lofton. Lofton was an adopted child who has gone on to become a published poet and singer who performed at the 1997 Presidential Inauguration, at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2000, as well as at the opening of the Guggenheim Museum in Madrid, Spain and on Black Entertainment Television.
National Adoption Awareness Month began in 1976 when former Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis proclaimed Adoption Week in an effort to promote awareness of the need for adoptive families for children in foster care. The effort went national shortly after that when former President Gerald Ford made the first National Adoption Week proclamation. In 1990 the week was expanded to a month. Locally the Fairfax County Department of Family Services is committed to helping children in Fairfax County's foster care system find permanent homes.
The First Lady of Virginia, Ms. Anne Holton is a strong supporter of National Adoption Awareness Month. Ms. Holton recently established the For Keeps initiative - a statewide effort to help find permanent families for older children in foster care.
Fairfax County is committed to nondiscrimination on the basis of disability
in all county programs, services and activities.
Reasonable accommodations will be provided upon request.

Can Lumineers Be Used if the Patient Has an Old Bond on One or Two Teeth?
Can Lumineers Be Used if the Patient Has an Old Bond on One or Two Teeth?
Doctor Answers 2
Can Lumineers Be Placed Over Old Bonding
Yes you can but I would not recommend it. The best bond is to tooth structure for your new veneer, not to old bonding. Plus you are adding more bulk which could lessen the cosmetic result and color matching may be more difficult as the bonding may show through the lumineer differently than adjacent teeth.
Lumineers over bonded teeth
It is usually preferred to remove any existing bondings from teeth prior to placing Lumineers, however not all bondings need to be removed for Lumineers. Factors that affect this decision are age, size, color, and location of the bonding. A dentist experienced in cosmetic dentistry should be able to help make that determination.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

Types of Interviews
Campus Recruiting Interviews
These job or internship interviews occur at the Hart Career Center and are offered by companies interested in recruiting IWU students. To apply to Campus Recruiting Interviews, utilize Titan CareerLink. You may only have 30 minutes, so focus on problems that you solved or challenges you overcame during a past work experience or an internship. If the organization offers an information session the day prior to the interview, attend it and dress business casual.
Be sure to adhere to your interview schedule. Arrive at the Hart Career Center approximately 10-15 minutes early to check-in for your appointment and to receive any additional instructions. If you must cancel an on-campus interview appointment, you must do so at least two business days prior to the scheduled visit using the Titan CareerLink system. Failure to show up for a scheduled interview will result in your losing any further on-campus interviewing privileges.
Second Interviews/Office Visits
The purpose of an office visit is to allow you to get a more detailed assessment of the employment opportunity, and for the employer to make a more in-depth evaluation of your personal qualities. The second interview visit may include any of the following:
- You may be greeted by a company representative who will act as your host for the visit. This person may be an IWU graduate or someone working in the area for which you are being considered.
- The company will plan the day to keep you engaged in meaningful activities. You will most likely meet with several key managers, including those responsible for making hiring decisions. Interviews may be one-on-one or panel/group interviews.
- An interview luncheon or dinner may be arranged. This is considered a prime opportunity for you and the employer to get to know more about each other outside the formal interview process. Though less formal, this is still part of the interview process. Regardless of the attitude of the participants, you are still under scrutiny. Avoid politics and other controversial issues. Be professional. Do not order alcohol, even if the interviewer does.
Telephone Interviews
This is typically a screening interview, though may replace a face-to-face interview if distance is an issue. Without having visual cues from the interviewer, it is hard to assess how your answers are being received. Listen for changes in tone and inflection. Smile as you speak so that your voice projects enthusiasm and interest. Your goal during the interview is to convince the interviewer that you're worth bringing into the office for an interview.
- Pick a quiet location where you can speak openly and without interruption. If you have call waiting, ignore it. If using a cell phone, be sure your battery is charged and reception is strong.
- Keep your resume, cover letter and the job description nearby for reference.
Informational Interviews
Talking to a current professional is a great way to determine if a career field is for you. An informational interview is an information-gathering conversation between you and someone employed in the career field in which you are interested. It allows you to learn about a career field of interest, while also doing a reality check. It's also a great way to prepare for a "real" interview.

Bucky Covington and Kerry Earnhardt Bond Over New 'Baby'
Bucky Covington spent some time during the NASCAR Sound and Speed charity event in Nashville earlier this year showing off to his "new baby" to new pal Kerry Earnhardt, the brother of Dale Earnhardt, Jr. And no, it's not what you might think! Bucky's bundle of joy is a huge, jacked-up Chevy. The singer struck up a conversation with Kerry and the two became fast friends, although the pair did have a typical "mine-is-bigger-than-yours" competition!
Bucky says that when he was at home working in the body shop and usually short of cash, older cars were a necessity. "But I've come to realize, I love old crap," he tells The Boot. "The junkier it might be, the more I'm gonna like it. I've got a brand-new F-150 sitting in my yard and I don't think I've driven it in months. I just bought an '85 K-5 Chevrolet Blazer with a 12-inch lift sitting on 20s and 39½ inch swampers, so it's a big, jacked-up truck."
Bucky says meeting Kerry at Sound and Speed was like reuniting with an old friend. "You ever meet somebody and as soon as you start talking to them you start talking like you've known each other for 15 years? This was how it was with Kerry, just a really cool, very good guy. So I pulled a picture of my new truck out and showed that to Kerry, and he proceeds to show me a picture of his Hummer. So he's got me on that, he's definitely got me on that! Most people start pulling out their phone and showing pictures of their kids, but me and Kerry are showing pictures of our trucks and motorcycles and our toys! He was definitely the highlight of my Sound and Speed experience!"
Bucky's sophomore album, 'I'm Alright,' is due out in the fall of 2010.

The website MocFans.com was busier and angrier than normal Sunday evening.
Watching your favorite college football team turn a 27-0 lead at home into a 28-27 loss to The Citadel will do that to some folks. Especially since so much was expected of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga squad this season.
Instead, UTC now stands 2-3 heading into Saturday's Southern Conference game at Georgia Southern, the No. 1 team in the NCAA's Football Championship Subdivision.
Worse still, the Mocs almost certainly must now go 5-1 the rest of the way to earn a playoff berth for the first time since 1984.
So with all that swimming around inside our Mocs fans' frustrated heads, the bitterness flowed. Under the thread "False Advertising" came the following rants:
A) "This year I was hoping for a team with sizzle, but what we have is a team that fizzles."
B) "What a complete collapse. Not just the game, the season. I stepped up and bought season tickets this year and I wondered why it was possible to get tickets on the 50-yard line. I think now I understand."
Yup, heck has no fury like a disappointed season-ticket holder.
Sadly, this isn't as hard to understand as one might think, though it is rather difficult to ever understand blowing a 27-0 lead at home when you're ranked 17th in one FCS poll and The Citadel was yet to win a SoCon game when it arrived at Finley Stadium.
Still, many close to the program at season's dawn -- including the UTC beat writer for this newspaper, John Frierson -- believed the Mocs could be better but not improve on head coach Russ Huesman's first two 6-5 seasons because of a brutal schedule.
However, the question may now become whether or not the Mocs can even reach 6-5.
This is clearly a flawed team. It struggles mightily to run the ball, and however talented senior quarterback B.J. Coleman may be, if the opponent knows you have to pass to move the chains, it's tough to win.
For proof, just revisit Tennessee's struggles in Florida's Swamp two weeks ago. Good as UT quarterback Tyler Bray is -- and there may not be a better pure passer in college football other than Stanford's Andrew Luck -- the Vols couldn't run it a lick against the Gators (minus-9 yards), which led to two Bray interceptions, which led to a 33-23 loss.
Unless the Mocs' offensive line improves dramatically between now and crucial late-season home games against Furman (Oct. 29) and Wofford (Nov. 19), it's tough to see this team finishing with a winning record, much less a playoff bid.
It's not just the running game, however. Special teams are anything but special. A blocked field goal against Appalachian State and a blocked punt against The Citadel are the chief reasons UTC stands 0-2 today in the SoCon instead of 2-0.
In fact, the only facet of this team that's pretty much bullet-proof is the defense, which went a preposterous eight straight quarters without surrendering a single point from halftime of the 23-14 win at Eastern Kentucky to the second half of The Citadel loss.
And that's what makes this all so painful for the 10,700 fans who filed into Finley on Saturday for this latest Mocs meltdown. For all its troubles, UTC remains achingly close to greatness, at least by blue and gold standards.
Yet that's also the problem. Or as one web worrier wrote Sunday:
"This is why Chattanooga is Chattanooga. How many times does this have to happen? I bought season tickets this year in hopes that BJ and company would have a great season. My hopes are now done. I saw the score at 27 to 7 and thought the game was well in hand. I guess I was wrong. I won't be buying season tickets anymore. I'm a Mocs fan for life, just not one willing to pay money to watch my team lose like this. I will pull for the Mocs from afar."
There is one positive to all of this beyond the fact that the start of basketball practice is less than two weeks away. As any good psychologist will tell you, the opposite of love isn't hate. It's apathy.
To that end, if the plethora of passionate posts on mocfans.com be any indication, apathy may be the one problem the Mocs football program doesn't have this week.

Slocum in, Holmes out of top 30
What did a bogey-bogey finish mean for J.B. Holmes? That he's not guaranteed a trip to the Masters or U.S. Open next year. It also means that Heath Slocum is as the two flip-flopped spots on the money list with Slocum 30th and Holmes 31st.
"Oh, wow," Slocum said when informed afterward. "I came here for a good tournament and a good finish. I'm disappointed that way but if I did hold onto the top 30, I'll be honest, it was a good week."
Slocum, who finished well back at 6 under for the week, was also relieved that he doesn't have to worry about it now.
"You can't win them without getting in them," Slocum said. "I feel like I've at least got a chance." -- Brian Wacker

Chair Brandon Williams introduces ASM
Vice chair Adam Johnson introduces ASM
The University of Wisconsin student government approved the first changes in 17 years in how their internal budget is drafted Wednesday night.
The Associated Students of Madison Student Council unanimously voted to approve the Internal Budget Reform Act.
The reform act moved the responsibility of creating the internal budget from the Finance Committee to Coordinating Council.
Chair Brandon Williams said concerns were brought up at last week's meeting about moving the process to the Coordinating Council.
"The concern brought up last week was that the Finance Committee is an outside body that provides some kind of check," Williams said.
Vice Chair Adam Johnson addressed these concerns.
Johnson said the check would not be eliminated by moving the budget drafting responsibility to Coordinating Council.
Finance Committee actually limits the amount of people able to participate in the budget drafting process, Johnson added.
"All members of ASM are members are Coordinating Council," Johnson said. "We're actually opening this up to a greater number."
Williams said any member of student council can be a part of coordinating council and that council members can appoint non-council members to positions on coordinating council.
Williams also said the Coordinating Council will only be responsible for drafting the budget.
The budget must still be approved by the Coordinating Council, Student Council and Student Services Finance Committee, Williams said.
"I am not trying to make Coordinating Council the approve all, end all," Johnson said.
According to Johnson, Finance Committee has not drafted an efficient budget in years past.
Johnson added it is better to create a smart budget first and then subject it to all the checks within the system.
The committee also voted to approve committee accountability bylaws.
The bylaws were created to ensure student council is doing its job and members attend meetings for the committees they are assigned to, University Affairs Chair Carl Fergus said.
Council member attendance at committee meetings helps to provide structure for those committees and institutionalize them, Fergus said.
Fergus said the measure taken in drafting the bylaws was proactive, and he was not aware of any existing issues involving absenteeism of council members.

To Australia I Go, I Go
Just a little note to all out there. I will be heading to Australia this weekend to be a part of the LPGA kickoff. Yes, I'll be looping for my friend Irene Cho for a couple of weeks, and getting in good with some of the professional ladies so we can get some interviews, etc. for the season.
While I'm out, you will be in the good hands of Mr. Jonathan Wall, who you have read if you've ever switched over to Yahoo!'s Devil Ball Golf. Mr. Wall is a great writer, and I've encouraged him to have some fun on the site if anything big happens. You'll be pleased, I promise.
I will still be writing, reporting, etc., from Australia, and the best way to follow me is to jump on my Twitter account, so do that before you get lunch.

text: WVU-Herd notebook: Defensive stars TBA for Mountaineers, Herd By Dave Hickman August 31, 2012 Story Share MORGANTOWN - A year ago when West Virginia and Marshall lined up to play, it was the offenses that got most of the pregame attention. But each team also had a defensive star.For West Virginia it was Bruce Irvin, for Marshall Vinny Curry. The two pass-rushing defensive ends would go on to have huge seasons and be drafted - Irvin with the 15th pick by Seattle and Curry with the 59th by Philadelphia.But their impact on last season's WVU-MU game was almost negligible. Irvin had three tackles and one sack. Curry had three tackles and no sacks.Still, both coaching staffs spent considerable time game planning the two. Perhaps that's the reason both were all but negated.This year, there might not be anyone on either side who commands that kind of attention from an opposing offensive coach. But that doesn't mean no one will stand out, perhaps more so than either Irvin or Curry did last year."There's nobody as disruptive as that guy. He was pretty good,'' WVU offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said of Curry. "But every year you'll have people step up that you might not think will step up. We don't really know who are going to be the impact players. There might be a guy that didn't play last year and comes out and has a great game. It's just hard to tell.''nnWest Virginia's specialists to start the 2012 season will be exactly the same as they were to start 2011. But will they be the same at the end of the year, or even the end of today's first game?Good question.Last year, Tyler Bitancurt and Corey Smith traded off on the kickoff duties. Smith and Mike Molinari did the same with the punting. They were constantly changing because of lapses in both areas. Again, Smith will handle kickoffs and punts and Bitancurt field goals and extra points. Molinari is the backup punter, in addition to his duties as Bitancurt's holder."I think Tyler Bitancurt had a pretty good year last year. He was solid when it came to field goals and extra points,'' coach Dana Holgorsen said. "The punting we had some issues. Corey will start for us this year, but our philosophy's always going to be we're going to hold people accountable for what they do, whether it's a kicker, punter, quarterback, O-lineman or our defensive guys. He'll remain the punter as long as the performance is good."I'm looking forward to seeing if he's improved, which I think he has. He'll handle the kickoff duties, as well, and has really looked good as far as that's concerned.''nnDarwin Cook hasn't even reached his senior season yet, but already he's considered one of the old-timers on West Virginia's defense. "I feel kind of old out there,'' Cook said. "They call me grandpa.''It is first-year defensive coordinator Joe DeForest who calls him that and perhaps it's not so much Cook's age as his newfound maturity and experience."It's basically just getting older; older and smarter,'' Cook said. "You understand routes. You're not just out there playing football. You're looking at the whole formation, actually studying it and realizing what you can do.''nnDon't expect this series to resume anytime soon. West Virginia doesn't have room with just three non-conference openings each year and there is the natural reluctance to give up a home game.Marshall apparently wants to continue the series, but also wants a more even home-and-home arrangement than what turned out to be a 5-for-2 in the now-ending seven-year series. There's not much wiggle room there on either side.Oh, and don't expect Holgorsen to weigh in either way."I don't get too far into the future schedules and all that,'' Holgorsen said. "I know there are challenges as far as having only three games you can play in the non-conference and there are all kinds of geographical reasons to play not only this game, but [teams] in the surrounding states of [Pennsylvania] and Maryland and Ohio and into Jersey and all the rest of it."That's why we have great administrators that lead us in the direction that we need to go.''nnAnd finally, WVU quarterback Geno Smith has added both weight and muscle this season and everyone has noticed, including the offensive linemen assigned to protect him."He's able to take a hit now, I know that,'' guard Jeff Braun said. "But we're not going to let that happen.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

Bhopal, Apr 30(UNI) Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and his cabinet colleagues have started a 24-hour ''fast'' from 1100 hours today to protest the UPA government's alleged discriminatory attitude towards BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh.
The fast was being organised to highlight the Centre's ''step-motherly'' treatment to the state in allotting foodgrains for both BPL and APL categories, not providing assistance to meet drought in 37 of 48 districts and slashing the state's share of electricity from the Central pool and curtailing coal supply to thermal stations as part of a conspiracy to create power crisis ahead of the year end Assembly elections, the Chief Minister said.
Mr Chouhan is observing 'Upvas' at the busy Roshanpura square in New Market area of the state capital.
Addressing the gathering, Mr Chouhan said the federal structure as provided in the Constitution would get a set back if the Centre ignored the due interests of the states. ''The Centre should mend its attitude'', he said.
Elaborate security arrangements have been made and traffic diverted in view of Mr Chouhan's fast. Office-goers had a tough time to reach their offices as the traffic in New Market area had been diverted without advance notice.
State BJP President Narendra Singh Tomar is leading the fast in Sidhi, while BJP ministers are on fast at different district headquarters.
The BJP government, which recently launched the ''Annapoorna Yojana'' with pomp and show to provide subsidised foodgrains to each BPL family at Rs 3 per Kg wheat and Rs 4.50 per Kg rice with a view to garner electoral benefit in the coming elections, is peeved at the Centre not conceding its demand to treat the state's BPL families at 62.50 lakh as compared to 41.25 lakh families at present.
The Centre provides subsidised foodgrains at the rate of 35 Kg per family per month to 41.25 lakh BPL families only. Using the same quota, the BJP government launched the ''Annapoorna Yojana'' on April 26 under which each BPL family was given 20 Kg foodgrain per month.
Against the present allocation of 66,220 tonnes foodgrains per month for APL families, the state government sought additional allocation of 1.19 lakh tonnes per month in view of the drought situation.
The Chief Minister complained that the Centre had not released even a single paise for drought relief. From the Central pool, the state was getting only 31 megawatt electricity against 350 MW earlier.
Meanwhile, the opposition Congress has termed the BJP government's dharna against the Centre as a ''political stunt'' to divert the people's attention from its alleged failures to come up to the people's expectations.

T/B did not line up. it didn't matter as i ported the T/B outlet anyway. my manifold has an 80mm inlet. i ported the elbow to 1/16" to the edge of the flange. no pics. 75mm is the most this can be ported at the mating of the upper and lower. i remove as much material as possible inside the elbow. very thin. 75mm T/B:seems to be a good quality product. i ported after the throttle blade a little. i also knife edged the blade at the rear.only the non-contecting side. i removed a small amount of metal on the shaft. polished with compound and a buffer wheel. no pics. 30# injectors: it's impossible to quantify their usefulness without knowing current duty. however, the motor is much smoother. idle quality is way better. 45 psi. 80mm C&L maf. i used the stock maf initially. totally undrivable. i haven't changed the program yet. i switched to the C&L set for 30# and whammo i ran faster than ever on my"track out back." SOTP means crap. nothing zilch. the average person cannot tell between 20-35 hp loss or gain. when i ran the short runner intake before there was a noticable loss of torque. it ran the same up top as the stocker. now it is totally different. the track will tell all. i seem to have gotten back as much as it has with the long runner. i wonder how it will run with the improved setup. (long runner) the moral: use the proper equipment there is no reason to waste power with inadequate stuff. i wanted to see what gains can be made. i'll get back after track day. i still have to fix a large header leak. the short runner accelerates scary now.

Any help would be appreciated as this is slowing me down big time! Thanks in advance PZ

Atlas likes to talk about his relentless work ethic.
The 22-year-old local rapper works every day as a middle-school teacher's assistant, then works afternoons and nights for the Glendale Parks and Recreation Department, racing home to spend whatever quality time he can squeeze in with his 4-month-old son. On weekends, the real work begins: Atlas heads to the Tempe residential recording studio run by the three-man production team known as The Lab. Listening to the idiosyncratic beats they generate 'round the clock, Atlas hustles to keep up, often writing a complete set of lyrics within a day of hearing a new track.
"I'm a workhorse," Atlas says. "I learned at a young age, if you want something you've got to work for it."
Part of Atlas' commitment to work involves the idea that you have to keep setting new goals and pushing to achieve them. Since graduating from high school five years ago, Atlas has hustled a series of demo CDs at clubs like Anderson's Fifth Estate and Dan Ryan's. His routine was always the same. He'd record some tracks, make 50 CD copies, and when he'd given all the CDs out, go back and record some more music.
Early this year, Atlas was MCing at the Hard Rock Cafe when he hooked up with local hip-hop manager and promoter Miko Wady of Dezert Heat Entertainment.
Wady had been focusing most of his attention on out-of-state talent, developing a small stable of rappers in California and on various parts of the East Coast. He wasn't too eager to work with anyone local. But Atlas changed his mind.
"I saw the potential that he had," Wady, 26, says. "He's a positive guy, he's not into all the nonsense. He's got his head on straight, and he wants to take an all-business approach to music. He's got content and a message, he's not just rapping about gold chains and fly cars."
The connection between Atlas, Wady and The Lab is generating strong interest from both Def Jam and Jive Records, and has both the rapper and his manager optimistically talking about dropping a debut single and album by the beginning of next summer.
One of the most intriguing components of the musical collaboration is the wide range of sonic textures and lyrical moods created. The most obvious single, "It's Ridiculous," lives up to its title: It's a galloping, sitar-driven Indian raga track anchored by a rubbery hip-hop beat. "Hood Famous" finds Atlas spinning street vignettes, accented by orchestral fanfares and timpani crashes.
Atlas' pop-culture literacy and The Lab's ear for aural surprises come together on "Diary." Poking fun at MTV's celebrity show of the same name, Atlas compares himself to everyone from Penn & Teller to Destiny's Child, before hitting the chorus, where his spooky, electronically deepened voice intones: "You think you know, but you have no idea."
Wady says he's in daily communication with Def Jam about Atlas, and sees the pioneering hip-hop label as an ideal fit for his rapper.
"I'd like to see him go to Def Jam, because it would get him in a family of rappers he wants to work with," Wady says. "He aspires to work with Jay-Z and it would put him under the Universal umbrella with him."
An Air Force brat as a child, Atlas and his family settled in North Texas in the late '80s. During this period, he first felt drawn to the idea of life as an entertainer, an adolescent transfixed by R&B-pop acts like Another Bad Creation and Kriss Kross.
When Atlas' parents split eight years ago, he and his mother moved to the Valley. At Desert Sands Junior High, he became a certified hip-hop junkie.
"I got started rapping here," he says. "At Desert Sands, there were some guys that used to rap. They used to get these big circles together and people would gather around and listen to 'em rap. And I wanted to get in, but I was shy and I was the new kid, so I never did it.
"I never really took it seriously that I could do it until Method Man's CD came out my freshman year of high school. He was the person who inspired me to write my first rhyme. Once I heard that, I knew that this was what I wanted to do."
Much as Method Man's verbal flow motivated him to take up rapping in the first place, these days Atlas looks to Jay-Z as the model for what he'd like to accomplish.
"I like the way Jay-Z transcends the music, his position now," he says. "I'm a competitive guy. When I played basketball, I aimed at where Michael Jordan was at. And right now, Jay-Z is on top. His style of delivery isn't really commercial, but the concepts behind his songs make them commercial, make them cross over. He's really the one cat who inspires me now. I aim to rub shoulders with the best."
Atlas' competitive, uncompromising nature can raise hackles at times. Temporarily part of a 12-member hip-hop collective formed by Power 92 DJ William "Big Willie" Walker, Atlas bolted the group when he began to feel that little was being done to advance anyone's career. His decision to work with Wady instead caused a minor fissure in the local hip-hop scene.
But Atlas describes himself as someone who's too impatient to wait around while his career stagnates, and he saw the same drive in Wady. "One thing that impressed me about Miko was that he told me to hustle. I'm a hustler. Us working together should make it even easier."
He's equally excited about the tracks that The Lab's production leader, Pipes, is providing for him.
"If it's the right kind of beat, it can talk to you, let you know what it's saying," he says. "When the beat automatically makes words jump into your head, it's the perfect track. And that happens a lot with Pipes."

As much a budding businessman as hopeful recording artist, Atlas sees himself stepping into the kind of work that Wady's doing, as his career develops.
"It's taken a long time for things to develop, but it's probably been a good thing," he says of his years handing out demos. "I wouldn't have been mentally prepared a few years ago, but I'm prepared now."

TOKYO: A legless Afghan woman pushing herself in a cart appears outside a remote US military outpost after a desperate, dusty firefight, demanding the body of her brother - one of the attackers - to take home for burial.
Her presence sparks fierce debate in "The Watch," a novel by Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya, as the soldiers take turns telling the story as they try to determine if she herself is a terrorist, someone come to destroy them, or exactly what she says.
The Indian-born Roy-Bhattacharya spoke with Reuters about writing, the current state of literary fiction, and his novel, which was inspired by the Greek myth of Antigone, who tried to recover her brother's body in the face of laws forbidding even mourning him since he was considered a traitor.
Q: What got this book going?
A: "What got it going was my own frustration with the fact that literary fiction appears to have stopped dealing with the real world. So you have book after book coming out where it essentially deals with, I don't know, family issues this, that and the other ... I come from India, so in terms of what is known as collateral damage, we get little to nothing about what is actually happening on the ground in Afghanistan, much less than what is happening on the ground in Iraq. And I began this book with the intention of lending a face and a voice to those statistics.
"It was only after I'd written the first draft and started talking to American soldiers who had been there, that I realized that they themselves felt they were fighting this forgotten war.
Everyone paid lip service - and I've been told this repeatedly - no one wanted to listen to them. So it became equally important to me to tell their side of the story. One of the reasons I framed the book as I have is that I wanted to get out of the way entirely as an author and give agency to each one of the characters in the book and have them tell the story in the first person, passing it along like a baton.
"More than anything else, I wanted to write a book that would squarely involve the civilian reader in the kind of decision making and moral quandaries that are the soldiers' fate. Once you've read the book and you come to the penultimate page, you've really gone the whole emotional arc of identifying with the Pashtun girl to apprehending what's going to happen to the soldiers that you now know so well."
Q: Were some of the points of view more difficult for you to write than others? Did some resonate more?
A: "Well, certainly the medic's point of view resonated because I think he was the one who was the most sensitive and made it a point to read up on Afghan culture. The medic is representative of somebody who actually steps out of the shell of his training and tries to see the other point of view.
"The captain was a difficult feat to pull off because I had to be someone who was completely middle of the road, completely strait-laced, completely resistant to breaking what in the military is called the chain of command."
Q: You said you started talking to service members after you wrote the first draft. Why at that point?
A: "I had become very impatient with the fact that literary fiction just seems to have settled into this very comfortable groove. You have your sinecured job teaching writing, which I believe is a complete racket, and it's very parochial and you never go out of your comfort zone. I think of the writers of the 19th century and the real impact they had on the society - Dickens's novels leading to real changes in child labour laws, and so on. I don't have a background in literature, I've been an inveterate reader from the time I was a child; my background is in the social sciences. And if I'm to write fiction there's absolutely no reason why I can't imagine something based on my own research ... When Stefenie Mayer writes vampire novels, is she a vampire? It's just this kind of self-imposed limitations on the part of contemporary writers that I don't understand."
Q: So what should fiction be doing?
A: "I think fiction should be addressing the real world and imaginatively bringing people out of their despair, in a way. Fiction should be to a certain extent activist, but it should
certainly be engaging, in the sense of the French word "engagement," with the world we live in today. Trying to bring about changes. The pen being mightier than the sword - doesn't that sound like such an anachronism today when you look at literary fiction? It's like a parlour game. I believe in the pen being mightier than the sword and I think we need to go back to doing that, because the alternative is just pure entertainment.
"It depends on the writer. It can be entertaining, but at the same time, it must address issues. It must address moral issues. Dickens isn't exactly a difficult read, but you can feel the urgency of the issues he addresses."
