Fitch boosts Ford's investment rating
DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. is closer to getting its blue oval out of hock.
Ford mortgaged its logo, along with factories and equipment, in 2006 in exchange for a $23.5 billion restructuring loan. On Tuesday, it got one of the two investment-grade ratings it needs to get those assets back.
Fitch Ratings raised the automaker's credit from junk status to "BBB minus," the lowest investment-grade rating. The agency said Ford has repaired its balance sheet and improved its vehicles in recent years, putting it "in a solid position" to withstand any slowdowns in the global auto industry. Now, Ford must wait for one of the other two ratings agencies – Standard & Poor's or Moody's – to make a move.
Ford lost its investment- grade status in 2005 when it was racking up billions in losses as the SUV and truck boom went bust.
Auto suppliers not worried about resin
DETROIT — Executives from four auto parts companies said Tuesday that they don't expect widespread fallout from a shortage of a key ingredient in plastic resin after a factory explosion.
Officials for Delphi Automotive, Illinois Tool Works, AK Steel and Parker Hannifin said during conference calls to discuss their companies' earnings that a shortage of PA-12 shouldn't disrupt their operations.
Automakers and parts companies have been scrambling to find substitutes since a factory in Germany that makes much of the world's supply of the ingredient suspended production after it exploded in March.
The resin is used in hundreds of parts. It's most critical in fuel and brake lines because it can carry gasoline and other fluids without deteriorating.

David Doris
By then, he was already deep into another passion: African art. It started as a fluke: he heard the Brian Eno-David Byrne album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, which led him to read the novel of the same name by Nigeria's Amos Tutuola. Discovering African culture, "I felt as if my head popped!" he recalls. "Here was a world I did not know that was incredibly rich." He earned a master's in art history from Hunter College in 1993 and a PhD from Yale in 2002.
Doris acknowledges that anything connected with Africa can be loaded: white students, especially, are nervous about saying something that might be construed as racist. To clear the air, he starts each semester by asking them to write down whatever image of Africa comes to their mind; their responses include mud huts, British colonies, and starving people. Then they discuss their perceptions. "I try never to alienate the students," Doris says. "But it's important to speak plainly, even to risk offending, if it brings us closer to real dialogue and understanding."
"David is anything but one-dimensional," says U-M art history chair Celeste Brusati. "He has written on topics that range from Zen and the international Fluxus art movement of the 1960s to Disney theme parks, Kodak Picture Spots, and the Internet's role in constructing Yoruba identity." He sometimes hosts faculty parties in a thatched-roof "tiki" house he built in the basement of the home he shares with his wife, Melissa, and their two-year-old daughter Marcella, adopted from Guatemala.

A technique to preserve cells from the rare and popular Tigers Milk Mushroom for later use is published in the latest issue of The Journal of Tropical Agriculture Science. The mushroom, Lignosus rhinoceros, is widely used by indigenous communities across Malaysia, but there are not enough to meet demand. The researchers adapted a process already used to preserve other fungi, and believe their method provides an easy and inexpensive option for long-term preservation of the desired cells.
The Tigers Milk Mushroom is important in communities in Malaysia who use it as a medicinal treatment for various ailments as well as to produce a tonic to maintain health. The desirable underground tuber can be spotted when a solitary mushroom grows above ground which makes the collection of the fungus difficult.
A technique that is successful in the cryopreservation of other underground funguses was adapted in this study to preserve and maintain the commercially potential L. rhinocerus strain in a viable state. Lai Wei Hong and colleagues at the Agro-Biotechnology Institute at the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute tested various sucrose concentrations and exposure time while deep freezing – or cryopreserving – the vegetative cells.
Of particular interest was the ability to thaw the cells without damage occurring. The team were able to perfect a method that is suitable to cryopreserve the L. rhinocerus with 100% regeneration and without the solutions infecting the cells. They hope that their work will be used to preserve and maintain the precious Tigers Milk Mushroom for medicinal use.

Johannesburg - Five months after suspending its principal executive officer, government's pension fund is poised to lay charges against its former spokesman for his alleged role in irregularly inflating a R500 000 media and advertising tender to R21 million.
The former communications manager, Khaya Buthelezi, was fingered along with principal executive officer John Oliphant, board secretariat head Adri van Niekerk and two Government Pension Administration Agency employees Mandla Mashaba and William Ramoroka for the exorbitant tender irregularities in a scathing forensic report released by PricewaterhouseCoopers late last year.
The tender was awarded to Johannesburg advertising firm MotherRussia.
The forensic report, which had been under wraps since its release, states that "corrective action" was to be considered against Ramoroka, Mashaba, Van Niekerk and Oliphant.
"Considering that Mr Buthelezi has resigned from the Government Employee Pension Fund, legal counsel should be sought with respect to the prospects of appropriate recourse against him," stated the report.
The Sunday Independent has been reliably informed that the board has decided to lay charges against Buthelezi.
Board chairman Arthur Moloto would, however, not confirm this on Saturday.
Buthelezi said: "I've never seen the report. It's no longer my matter. I can't comment on the veracity of the allegations. I know exactly what happened there (in the advertising tender). Until I see the report itself, I am not prepared to comment."
Oliphant was suspended in October, less than one month after Buthelezi resigned from the fund.
Van Niekerk was put on special leave in November, while Mashaba and Ramoroka are said to be facing charges.
Mashaba could not be reached for comment and Ramoroka denied that he was facing charges.
Moodley confirmed that the board had formally informed the pension administration agency of Mashaba and Ramoroka's being implicated in the tender, through its chief executive Goolam Aboobaker.
"I am however not sure where the processes currently are," said Moodley.
Aboobaker could not respond to questions about the disciplinary processes as he was in a meeting.
Oliphant and Van Niekerk will appear before a next disciplinary committee on March 17, to face at least four charges which include financial misconduct and negligence. Moloto was once again tight- lipped.
The developments come on the back of widespread criticism against the fund for its suspension of Oliphant, who is said to have been highly regarded in the industry and won an international award towards the end of last year for his leadership of the fund.
Some say his suspension is politically motivated and has been linked to a recent R2.5 billion investment by the fund's Public Investment Corporation into the JSE listing, Camac Energy, whose controlling shareholder Kase Lawal is a donor to President Jacob Zuma's education trust.
The board has come under fire for failing to wrap up the hearings against Oliphant and Van Niekerk.
But sources close to the investigation, who did not wish to be named as they are not mandated to speak on the matter, said that it was Oliphant and Van Niekerk who were using delaying tactics during the disciplinary hearings. Among these were their asking the chairwoman to recuse herself from the matter; Oliphant's allegedly falsely stating he wanted to settle the matter; and not having the correct legal representative present.
Contacted on Saturday, Oliphant said: "I honestly can't comment on any of the issues. When the time is right I will set the record straight."
Van Niekerk said she was not allowed to speak to the press and referred queries to Moloto and acting principal executive officer Joelene Moodley.
Van Niekerk's involvement in the tender, according to the report, is based on her having signed off the R531 558 tender as the acting principal executive officer while Oliphant was on leave, without sending the tender to the bid committee for final approval.
According to the fund's supply chain management policy, any tender between R500 000 and R2m has to go to the bid committee for final approval.
But the 84-page forensic report states that there was no board resolution approving the tender.
The tender was never referred to the bid committee and no explanation was given for why the tender was not referred to the bid committee,the report says.
When the tender costs escalated to R2m, the report says, Buthelezi initially got Oliphant to sign it off as transactions of up to R2m were within his delegations of authority.
However, when the costs skyrocketed to more than R2m, Oliphant requested from the board that his delegation of authorities be extended so that he was able to sign invoices beyond R2m for the GEPF brand roll-out project.
Part of the contention is that Oliphant wanted the Benefits and Administration Committee to give him the go-ahead when the matter should have been dealt with by the Finance and Audit Committee.
Although the matter was scheduled to be discussed in the latter committee, Oliphant allegedly removed the memo from the agenda at the eleventh hour.
According to the report, the three-year advertising plan of just over R530 000 would however exclude production costs and the purchasing of airtime.
The total cost of the project would be in the region of R16m, says the report.
The estimated financial implications included a GEPF TV commercial at R5.6m and media buying for television, radio and print at R11m.
The adjustment was a 276-percent increase on the R531 555 that MotherRussia was contracted on, contravening sections of the supply chain management policy, which requires that requests for increases in contracts should be channelled through the bid committee.
Buthelezi had told a colleague that MotherRussia would manage outsourced services from external service providers.
MotherRussia would charge a 25 percent mark-up as per the service level agreement and on these services from the service providers.
This, according to the report, is despite fund's supply chain management policy only allowing for a 20 percent variance of the contract price.
Their review of certain sections of the policy "indicated that GEPF, through the bid committee, may order an increase in the quantity of goods or services on condition the quantity or value… does not increase by more than 50 percent," states the report.
MotherRussia issued six invoices totalling R655 170.46. Three of them, as stated in the report, were for services requested by Buthelezi but out of the scope of the advertising tender.
The deal with MotherRussia was cancelled last year – and according to the report, there was no contract or service level agreement signed.
Despite this, between October 2012 and February last year, R600 000 had been paid to MotherRussia.
Festus Masekwameng from MotherRussia confirmed that the contract had been terminated early last year.
"We have asked for clarity surrounding the decision but we have yet to hear from them," he said.

I have two children in Alameda public schools. Both are enjoying fabulous years that I suspect they'll savor for a lifetime.
"Mrs. Jones says she would do math all the time if she could," reports my third-grade daughter. It's good for children to be excited about fractions.
My first grader says, "Mrs. Davidson really cares about capitals at the beginning of sentences and periods at the end."
Yes! Students need capitals and periods. Year after year, Mrs. Davidson takes 20 children's irregularly-formed block letters and converts them to conventionally-written English sentences. Mrs. Jones inspires her students to commit their multiplication facts to memory. Both teachers work on teaching turn-taking, respect for others, kindness, responsibility.
I thank these teachers, and, indeed, all their colleagues, for working, day after day, in rooms full of not-yet-fully civilized young humans, helping them build the skills they need to become members of society.
Remember that whole "takes a village" bit? I think we're seriously deceiving ourselves if we think we're not interdependent. If we imagine that our well-being is not tied up with the good behavior and honest dealings of neighbors and strangers. We all benefit from living in an ordered society, which comes, in good part, from having quality schools. Which brings me headlong into Measure H, the $120 parcel tax we'll be voting on come June 3.
I hear people say, "Cut administrative fat first." But the actual fact — gotta love actual facts — is that Alameda Unified ranks 12th out of 16 Alameda County districts in money spent on administrative overhead. AUSD spends $369 per student on administrative costs compared to a county average of $536. AUSD runs its administration with less money than do two thirds of the other county districts.
I hear people ask, "Why bail out the state? Let the state fix the structural funding issues." But that stance akin to cutting off your nose to spite your face. (Outdated funding formulas, unchanged since when the Navy contributed, mean AUSD receives less per pupil than other Alameda County districts — we're running sadly last, receiving $900 less per student than the best funded district, Dublin.) We have 10,000 students in Alameda schools right now. They need to learn this year, and next, and next. And while I hope against hope that all the good work being done by advocates from Alameda and other cities to increases the state contribution yields results, our schools need money now.
Alameda has always seemed to me the kind of town that rallies to support its own, without waiting for others to get with the program. So let's vote yes. Let's pass Measure H. Every dollar stays right here in Alameda. Together we can raise $4 million a year at the cost of about 34 cents a day per homeowner.
If we can't, the district is slated to pare down many things, including music from the lower grades and a big hunk of the high school sports budget. And class size will most certainly grow, leaving our lower grade teachers with about 10 more children in their classes in coming years. With the stringent requirements and testing demands mandated by No Child Left Behind, that's a heavy burden. (And, lest you believe what some say about it being teacher salaries that are breaking the bank in Alameda, please note that salaries in our town are about $5,000 below county average.)
So let us model for the children of Alameda the kindness, concern for others and logical reasoning that their teachers work to inspire daily. Let's pass this parcel tax. And, perhaps, when they are grown, the children will show us the same generosity when they are grown.

I've never heard this route called 11d. It has a very hard start (v5/6-ish), with precarious feet and sidepulls. After the crux, it eases quite a bit, but the bolts are quite far apart. Blowing any clip after the crux would be a bad thing.
I'm not sure about the FA, but I do know that Dean Potter soloed it years ago, and that the mags made a pretty big deal about it.

Tom and ED established this route and did in fact call it 11d.
The ground used to be a bit higher (as maybe were the ones who rated it such ;-) at the start. Sure made 11d feel a lot easier everywhere else.
Consensus: v5 to 11- to 5.10, so interpret as you will from that.
Yes, 4 bolts. 1st one is standard to stick-clip.

Philippines' Turnaround More Than Just Battle vs. Graft
Philippine President Benigno Aquino III has been earning plaudits for tackling the country's deep-rooted corruption problem and changing investor perceptions of the country. But there's more to the Philippines' turnaround story than that.
Economists say one of the biggest contributors to the archipelago's booming growth is its central bank's determination to maintain a strict inflation-targeting policy. While other countries in the region sometimes set interest rates with an eye to influencing foreign exchange rates, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas sticks firmly to its focus on restraining inflation.

On Friday, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accused Volkswagen Group of purposely installing software on some of its cars to cheat on emissions tests. According to the New York Times, Volkswagen Group will have to recall 500,000 Volkswagens and Audis on which so-called defeat devices were installed.
In a Notice of Violation (PDF) sent to the automaker, the EPA said that the defeat devices on Volkswagen Group's cars render inoperative elements of the vehicle's emission control system. If the car senses that it's operating normally, the defeat device reduces the effectiveness of some or all of the car's emission control components. However, if the car is undergoing an emission test, the emission control systems will be allowed to function normally.
According to the EPA's letter, the software on Volkswagens and Audis was installed on the cars' electronic control module and determined whether the car was driving normally or undergoing testing based on various inputs including the position of the steering wheel, vehicle speed, the duration of the engine's operation, and barometric pressure. If the car was driving under normal conditions, the car's nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions were increased by 10 to 40 times above the level of NOx emissions permitted by the EPA.

Itemized fees annoy customers, Maes contends
It's a question of business philosophy.
Evergreen businessman Dan Maes said his is to keep consumer complaints to a minimum.
In an interview with The Daily Sentinel about energy issues this week, the Evergreen businessman who is vying for the Republican nomination for Colorado governor said businesses shouldn't itemize the things they include in their bills. Nor, he said, should public utilities.
Itemizing raises the ire of their customers, he said.
"It would be wiser for them just to build it into the cost of doing business rather than itemizing it as a separate fee," Maes said. "As a businessman, that's how I would do it. It's the difference in business philosophy, it's that simple. Some people roll things in, some people itemize them separately.
"If I itemize it separately, it's an annoyance," he added. "People say, 'Why am I paying this additional fee?' They're aware of it, they're informed of it, and it concerns them. If they roll it into the cost, nobody sees the extra cost, and they're less likely to express an opinion one way or the other about it."
Maes' GOP opponent, Scott McInnis, said he couldn't disagree more.
The former U.S. congressman from the 3rd Congressional District said consumers deserve to know what they're paying for, particularly when it comes to government services and public utilities.
Doing anything different is tantamount to trying to fool them, he said.
"Itemization brings accountability. So, the suggestion that he makes, I can't imagine there would be one ratepayer in the state of Colorado, not one, who would agree with Mr. Maes' position," McInnis said. "As governor, transparency has become more and more of an issue because there's a general lack of trust. He's wrong on this issue. He's absolutely wrong."
Maes said his business philosophy applies to public utilities, but McInnis said there's a reason why state law requires them to itemize charges.
They are virtual monopolies, and as such they could charge whatever they liked were it not for state laws that regulate them, McInnis said.
"Government's different from business," McInnis said. "You have to be accountable to the people, and when you have a public utility that's under a public utility commission, there's a need for transparency. His comment shows a lack of knowledge, and it's just so far off base."
Maes said it isn't a question of trying to fool consumers or keeping them in the dark about exactly what they're financing.
Rather, it's about keeping complaints to a minimum, said the former chief executive officer of a credit reporting business, Amaesing Credit Solutions.
"It's not about ignorance. It's about supplying the product or service with less dispute, with less contention," Maes said. "As a businessman, if I itemize a separate fee, someone's going to call in and complain about it. They're going to ask about it. They're going to say, "What's this for?' And then they're going to feel nickeled and dimed."
Maes said Xcel Energy and other power suppliers should pay to build their own transmissions lines just as natural gas producers should finance their own pipelines.
State law, however, allows public utilities to transfer those costs to users, and it requires them to itemize the cost on their bills.
That amount is considered a fee, but Maes called it a tax.
"Indirectly the consumer's paying a tax," he said. "I remember years ago, Xcel said, 'Hey, how would you like to pay an extra $3 a month for wind power development?' We chose to do that, then I realized, 'What am I doing subsidizing Xcel?' It's a tax one way or the other."

Travelers Rest, often abbreviated to T.R. is a city in Greenville County, South Carolina, United States. The population was 4,576 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Greenville–Mauldin–Easley Metropolitan Statistical Area. Travelers Rest is located between the Blue Ridge Mountains and Greenville, the primary city of The Upstate region. The campus of Furman University is located within the city limits of Travelers Rest, but the university retains a Greenville address based on ZIP code boundary. The name "Travelers Rest" came from the fact that it is situated almost directly against the border with the North Carolina mountains. Travelers would stop for a moment in the town before they began the difficult journey into the mountains. Travelers would often have to spend the winter there, waiting for the snow to clear in the mountains before continuing northward.

Virgin Trains launches 11th hour legal action over West Coast decision
Virgin Trains has launched last-gasp legal action over the government's decision to award the 13-year West Coast main line franchise to FirstGroup.
Sir Richard Branson had previously branded the decision 'insane' and this weekend offered to run the London to Glasgow line for free in order for the contract to be discussed in parliament, as well as urging prime minister David Cameron to intervene.
Virgin Trains, which has run the franchise since 1997, said it was 'commencing court proceedings' ahead of transport secretary Justine Greening's expected signing of the contract this week and the franchise beginning in December.
It is thought Virgin Trains hopes the legal action will delay the contract being signed and allow parliament to debate the issue following demands from Labour and the Commons Transport Committee.
Virgin Trains said it did not believe FirstGroup would be able to live up to its financial commitments after making a £5.5billion bid.
'We had hoped that parliament or an external review would be able to scrutinise this badly-flawed process before the franchise was signed,' Virgin Trains said.
'We have tried for three weeks to get clarity over the Department for Transport decision and to have a number of key questions answered.
'On each occasion we have been refused information.
'We are left with no choice but to commence court proceedings as we believe the procurement process has ignored the substantial risks to taxpayers and customers of delivering FirstGroup's bid over the course of the franchise.'
Two operators of the East Coast main line – GNER and National Express – have previously run into financial difficulties after apparently overbidding for contracts.
FirstGroup commented: 'We have every confidence in the Department for Transport's process which is rigorous, detailed and fair and in which bids are thoroughly tested.
'There has been no complaint about the process, which was carefully described in advance, until Virgin Rail Group had lost commercially.'

Slug barrel and full size stock for my old 20 gauge
I started throwing slugs with my 20 gauge this summer. My 20 gauge is a youth model Remington 870 express magnum with a 21" barrel. I got it when I was in 4th grade and the first time I shot it, the recoil scared me (I was recoil shy when I was younger). It probably wouldn't have happened if the first shell I ran through it wasn't a pheasant load (between a heavy rabbit load and a light turkey load).
Anyways, I'm about to start saving for a rifled slug barrel and a full length stock for my "old firecracker" (a 20 gauge with any length barrel is actually louder than a 12 gauge with the same length barrel). I would hunt with my '94 Marlin (.41 magnum) but the ammo is more expensive than it should be (decent hunting ammo is almost impossible to find and cast lead ammo is $1.25+ per round). 44 magnum isn't much better. Just about all I can find is shotgun slugs and most of them are $15+ for 5 shots.
I would rather pay $45 for 3 boxes of slugs I can find regularly and hunt with a slug gun over $50 for 1 box of hsm bear loads I got to go to Cabela's in Michigan to buy.
Long rant short, here are my questions :
1. Do any of you guys have any experience hunting with 20 gauge slugs?
2. How bad is the recoil of 3" 20 gauge sabots compared to 2 3/4" 12 gauge sabots (2 3/4" 1 ounce Fosters out of a 12 gauge doesn't bother me.)?
3. How bad is the recoil between 3" 20 gauge sabots compared to 3" 20 gauge brenneke magnums?
4. If I put a scope on my 20 gauge, what is the minimum eye relief I should have (I prefer Simmons over tasco)?
I don't mind the range limitations that comes with the 20 gauge, I like a challenge ;)
People are hunting deer with a 20ga. I wouldn't go after any dangerous game with a 20 ga, that includes moose. You are going to have to have the 870 drilled and tapped or use a side saddle mount. It is hard to find cheap barrels for a Remington. Sabots will have less recoil than a Brennekee slug because they are lighter. You are not going to find the wide variety of slugs for a 20 ga that are available for a 12 ga. `
I saw a Mossberg 930 with a slug barrel for $450. By the time you buy a barrel, scope mount and a stock you will be well into the cost of a 12 ga dedicated slug gun. 12 ga sabots are on par with 45/70 hot loads . There isn't an animal in North America you cannot down with a 12ga slug.
You won't feel the recoil of the 12 ga when you are shooting game animals. You really don't needto shoot the shotgun a whole lot to stay in practice. You can take your practice with a 22. A 22 wmr has close to the same trajectory as Hornady SST slugs. Regular rifled slugs have about a 75 yard range. Federal Fusion sabots are about the same price and they have twice the range.
If you try to buy sabots in gun shops unless you are in a slug only state you will go nuts. Just order sabots online and save your gas. You will get better prices and you won't go on all these wild goose chases. There are gun shops that will say yes we have anything you ask for just to get you in the shop.
I came across this deal. I want a dual comb stock for my mossberg. They are not cheap. http://www.tombstonetactical.com/catalog/mossberg/500-slug-shotgun-12-ga-24in-rifled-wood-dual-comb/
I am a 12 gauge fan because I want the security of BIGGER. But I saw a video (Youtube?)comparing power out and recoil for 20 vs 12 gauge and some how the recoil is about the same and the power is less as the shot/ slug is less.
I personnaly use Brenneke slugs exclusivly in my 12 either the 2 3/4 and/or the 3" chamber, my preference is Black Magic, then Rotwieler, then Classic Magnum. The Fish & Game and State Troopers use Classic Magnum for the Moose and Bear disposal here in Alaska. That fact was verified by Breneke giving me the sales outlet for the state and me contacting them with inquiries of various rounds and got that piece of info passed to me
Here in the Anchorage area $8.00- $10.00 a box of 5 for Classic Magnum by Breneke.
Possible conversion for the 100 yards and in rig:
Rifled choketube for the field bbl.
Clamshell scope mount (the Weaver plastic one sits lowest).
Bushnell TRS 25
Test for 2 3/4" sabots.
Cousins husband ran a M37 in 20 gauge (deer model) for years.
Back in the old days, before the internet and energy drinks.
Think kids were tougher back then.
Recoil recoil recoil.
if you are getting popped, put a soft pistol case between you and the gun.
Shoot from a proper bench, and from proper position. That stuff helps keep recoil down.
I have 2 12 ga. slug guns, a Marlin 512 bolt action (kicks like a .45-70) and a Mossberg 835 with a cantilever mount rifled barrel, nearly as accurate as the 512 with less felt recoil.
I just picked up a used Mossberg cantilever/rifled barrel for my old 500 20 ga., it came with a 3X9- 40mm Bushnell Banner scope incl. for $129. Now I've got $259 wrapped up in the gun and I can't wait to see how this rascal shoots.

CVA, as to a longer stock, check around on the net, and see if the local smith has any at his shop. You may luck into a good used one for not too much money. The barrel OTOH, you might get lucky on eBay, Gunbroker, or one of the other auction sites, but I wouldn't bet on it. See what the same smith can come up with. My old LGS in NY used to get trade in parts all the time for 870s.
Now, I am not going to say "Don't go that route", but I am going to say that competent hunters and marksmen have been dropping deer just fine with old smoothbore 20 ga. shotguns for far longer than you and I both have been alive. Most of the shotguns used were pretty much as the factory made them, good all purpose firearms that need a few tweaks to become excellent _________ guns. I have an easier, and far less expensive option, that with a little bit of commitment from you, will net close to the same results for about 1 to 2 C-Notes.
Step 1: Find an old J.C. Higgins, Marlin, Mossberg, etc. bolt action 20 ga. shotgun. This is where you biggest savings will be, and since the barrel is permanently screwed into the receiver, it will be a good, solid, base to build from.
Step 2: Pick your sights. The most basic set up is the front bead only, and it is a good "Do most of it" sight. A scout style mount with a LER scope would work well for those who "must" have optics. Your other choice is a peep and post set up. Replace the front bead with a post of the same diameter, and put either an adjustable peep sight or ladder type sight on the rear of the barrel\receiver.
Step 3: Since it is non-rifled, you will need to buy a few different brands of foster style slugs, most likely, all 2.75 inch as the shotguns i listed above mostly do not come in 3 inch models. During your 3 to 5 shot grouping tests DO Not adjust the sights! All you are checking is how tight and where the groups are on the paper. Find your best performer, sight in with it, and stick with those slugs. Practice with them, and make sure they are what you take afield.
If you follow those instructions any deer within 70 yards (irons) or 100 (scope) is on the dinner table after you pull that trigger.
My grandfather's both used BA shotguns for deer (1 in 20, 1 in 12) for over 40 years. I have been using a BA Mossberg 185-d with a Redding Peep on the reciever for 20 years now, and I can say that I have dropped deer out to 70 yards with it more than once but most shots on a whitetail are going to likely be less than 40.
What you have will work. You can upgrade your $300 shotgun for about another $2 to $400 and still have a good shotgun for many types of game. It's your money, and your call. Or, you can go out, buy and older shotgun most would not even look at twice, and build that "antique" into something that puts most modern field shotguns to shame for about a quarter of the overall costs of upgrading yours. Take it from someone who has won several tri-county slug shoots with a 65 year old shotgun, there are few things that are more fun than embarassing thguy next to you in line when he has a $900+ slug gun, and you cut a tighter group with an "$80 Special". ;)
The youth bbl is choketube and short, and short bbls are preferred when shooting slugs.
Less time of flight in the bore means less shooter input/variability.
Try fosters with Imp Cyl and Mod choketubes. Buy a rifled choketube if wanting to exp with sabots.
Low scope mount, plastic Weaver style.
Slap an optic on it...........maybe a Bushnell TRS 25 reddot.
Plenty of eye relief on those I hear ;)
Barrel fitment.........check for tightness of bbl to receiver. if there's slop degrease bbl area and tape up bbl flange with masking tape. layer as needed. I had to run two layers rubbed on hard, to make my 870 P decent. Insert bbl by tapping on the muzzle with wooden block. Simple. Leave the gun together during testing/hunting.
Rifled choketubes can load up with fouling fast, but they're easy to clean. Just remove, scrub, and screw back in.
Stock ? Should find one cheap on auction site or a decent gunshop should have a full sizer in the back. So many folks want camo, or synth............old birch stuff just collects dust. OP could just make a spacer and run his stock worst case.
I don't need to make a spacer for my 20 gauge. I bought a length of pull kit / recoil pad by BEARTOOTH at gander mountain that helps the gun fit me better and helps slug and turkey recoil. The only reason I want the full size stock is so the gun feels more solid.

Off-air GOP putdown of Palin
The Huffington Post has a slice of audio in which two Republican pundits, Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan, are caught (apparently unaware) on an open mike after their TV appearance ended. They went on to disparage John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. "I think they went for this -- excuse me -- political bull---t about narratives," Noonan is heard telling anchor Chuck Todd. She also says: "It's over."
"I come out of the blue state governor world -- (John) Engler, (Christine Todd) Whitman, (Tommy) Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush -- and these guys, this is how you win a Texas race. You run it up, and it's not going to work," Murphy said. He also describes Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison as appearing "all bummed out" that she was passed over by McCain. Ironically, on TV Todd referred to the pair's on-air comments as "lots of free advice" for McCain's strategists.

I do not know as much about characteristics, so do you think it's bad? shuckle asked Aug 24, 2012 by NO1974 if worse comes to worse give him the lagging tail commented Aug 24, 2012 by amethyst3552 Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 2 Answers 1 vote Uh... "Likes to run" only means that that IV is highest. Note that having a certain characteristic does not necessarily imply that the highest possible value for an IV is present. A Pokémon with an "Alert to sounds" characteristic could have a 6 in Speed (and thus very low IVs across all of its stats since none could be higher than 6) instead of a 31 in Speed. From Bulbapedia. So that means, Shuckle could still be slow, just the rest of its stats would be worse. See http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Characteristic answered Aug 24, 2012 by XtremeKiller Does that mean, that shuckle could have higher (ex.) defense, than speed? commented Aug 24, 2012 by NO1974 Yep.

In the market for some serious Mustang muscle? This Mach 1 is the car for you. It's a rare 428-ci R-code Super Cobra Jet car, which was rated by the factory at 335 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. That's good enough for a zero-to-60 sprint of 5.5 seconds and a quarter mile time of 13.9 seconds at 103 mph—just the thing to take on your friend's big-block Chevelle or Camaro. And as this car's engine is not numbers matching, you wouldn't have to feel bad having fun with it out on the dragstrip every once in a while.
The seller provides a Marti Report with this car, documenting a January '69 build date as well as the original selling dealer: Young Ford in Charlotte, North Carolina. It's said to be in concours condition throughout, and is one of just 235 C6 automatic-equipped examples painted in Raven Black. Other options include power steering, power brakes, AM radio, and tinted glass. The seller notes just 86,000 miles from new.
The car was given a "mild restoration" in 2010, and the seller says all components were restored or replaced as per the Mustang Club of America's specifications. It looks complete and correct from top to bottom, all the way down to its Goodyear Polyglas tires and factory hubcaps.
Over 3,600 1969 Ford Mustangs have been sold on eBay Motors over the past two years, with prices ranging from $12,500 to $32,000 on average. Obviously, rare original cars are worth the most, and this one's documentation ought to make it expensive. So if you're looking for one of the ultimate '60s Mustangs for your collection, check this one out here.

VANDERHOOF, the band led by METAL CHURCH guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof, have set May 20 as the North American release date for their sophomore full-length effort, "A Blur In Time". In other news, the band been hard at work at building a brand new recording studio. "We found the ideal building for it and have been framing walls, installing electrical wire and hanging sheetrock," the group wrote on their official web site. "It's really been a group effort, with everyone bringing their own area of expertise to the project! When it's completed later this month, it will house a state of the art recording studio with both 24-track analog and full digital capabilities... all the toys we need to achieve the perfect balance between 'classic' and '21st century'! There is also a huge rehearsal room and a lounge area with amenities, so the big question is, 'Once we get in there, will we ever leave??' "

Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Stitches or staples may loosen
- Pouch stretches or leaks
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Heart attack
- Blood clots
- Nausea, vomiting
Long-term complications include vomiting and gallstones .
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications, such as:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
You may have the following done:
- Physical exam and review of medical history
- Blood test and other tests to check your health
- Meetings with a registered dietitian
- Mental health test and counseling
Prior to the procedure:
- Talk to your doctor about your medications, herbs, and dietary supplements. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
- You may be given antibiotics.
- You may be given laxatives or an enema.
- Arrange for a ride to and from the hospital.
- The night before, eat a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
General anesthesia will be given through an IV. It will block pain and keep you asleep through the surgery.
Description of the Procedure
An 8-10 inch incision will be made to open the abdomen. Surgical staples will divide the stomach vertically. The new stomach will be the shape of a slim banana. The rest of the stomach will be removed. Your new stomach can hold 50-150 mL (milliliters) of food—about 10% of what a normal adult stomach can hold.
Staples or stitches will be used to close the incision.
Immediately After Procedure
The breathing tube and catheter will be removed.
How Long Will It Take?
About 2 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
The usual length of stay is 4-6 days. If there are any problems, you will need to stay longer.
Post-procedure Care
At the Hospital
You can expect the following after the procedure:
- A small thin tube with a camera will be used to look down your throat and into your stomach to check for problems.
- You will receive nutrition through an IV at first, but slowly start eating again.
- Your bowels will work more slowly than usual. Chewing gum may help speed the process of your bowel function returning to normal.
While in the hospital, you may be asked to:
- Use a device called an incentive spirometer to prevent breathing problems
- Wear elastic surgical stockings or boots to promote blood flow in your legs
- Get up and walk daily
Preventing Infection
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision
At Home
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. You will need to practice lifelong healthy eating and exercising habits. After your surgery:
- Do not lift anything heavy for at least 2 weeks.
- You may have emotional changes after this surgery. Your doctor may refer you to a therapist.
- You will meet regularly with your healthcare team for monitoring and support.
For good nutrition:
- Eat a clear liquid diet for about 1 week or as advised by your doctor.
- You will begin with 4-6 small meals per day. A meal is 2 ounces of food.
- Progress from soft, pureed foods to regular foods.
- Solid food must be well-chewed.
- Get enough protein.
- Do not eat too much or too quickly.
- Avoid high-calorie foods.
- Avoid dehydration by drinking fluids before or after meals.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Persistent cough , shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Worsening abdominal pain
- Blood in the stool
- Pain, burning, urgency or frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Persistent nausea and/or vomiting
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs; sudden shortness of breath or chest pain
- New or worsening symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

We are using a large 5 axis CNC gantry to cut this out of 3/4" Melamine. The pattern will be stickers that we will carefully position on a small drill and slide on to the boards. So this should be highly accurate. Also the whole thing has structural supports that fit together like a puzzle holding the entire bock perfectly in place, with .005" clearance so it fill fit together.
Being a novice at best at this, need to ask if this looks good for the best possible system to scan parts that are medium and even large, and use this as a calibration pattern for a plane less setup as well. The dimensions are 4 x 5 ' roughly.
Thanks images attached.
Would like to also note that it's just as easy for us to make 3 as it is 1, so if anyone would like to have this setup my friend that owns the machine shop is happy to make more. Name of his Company is Diversified manufacturing in San Marcos CA. Just post here of course I can give you more details if you are interested.

Much of the disparity is because most women remain the 'default' parent.
It's Not Just a Wage Gap
Stephanie Coontz teaches history and family studies at The Evergreen State College and is the director of research and public education at the Council on Contemporary Families. She is the author, most recently, of "A Strange Stirring: The Feminine Mystique and American Women at the Dawn of the 1960s."
Updated March 14, 2013, 4:02 PM
As late as 1970, gender and race outweighed education in determining wage rates. The average college-educated woman, working full time, earned less than the average white male high school graduate. Today, however, education increasingly trumps gender. Women in their 20s outearn their male counterparts in most major metropolitan areas, largely because of higher rates of college completion. And women get a greater financial return for going to college: for every year a woman spends in undergraduate education, her future wages rise proportionally more than a man's.
But this does not mean women are poised to become the dominant breadwinners in society. Aside from the first few years of work, men still outearn women at every educational level. Much of this is because most women remain the "default" parent. They take more time off after having children and are more likely to cut work hours or downshift to jobs that do not fully utilize their qualifications but allow more family flexibility.
However, recent government studies that account for such patterns show that at least 20 percent of the pay gap between men and women cannot be explained by differences in experience or work hours. So it is not irrational for a woman to feel she needs more education than a man just to stay even.
Nor is it irrational for low-income and educationally underprepared men to resist taking on as much educational debt as their female counterparts seem willing to do. For men, the financial return to a high school education is greater than for women, while the payoffs of college education have become increasingly uneven since 1979, with growing numbers of college graduates having to take jobs in low- or medium-skilled occupations. Among 25- to 34-year-old men with a college degree, 20 percent earn less than the average male high school graduate, while only 14 percent of college-educated women that age make less than the average female high school graduate.
Interestingly, the most immediate results of women's increased investment in education might be seen in the home rather than at work. According to a forthcoming Council on Contemporary Families paper by the Oxford University researcher Oriel Sullivan, women with higher educational resources and earnings potential, whether they currently work for pay or not, get more help with housework from their husbands than do women with less marital bargaining power. So even if not all these women will kick through the glass ceiling, a lot fewer of them may be mopping the kitchen floor.

PYTHONPATH would need to be adjusted as needed - either in a place like .bashrc or in 3-line script that would then substitute the "python"-call.

Back to Wichmann Family
A.C.F. WICHMAN, superintendent of brewery, came to America in 1849, with his parents, from Prussia, his native country. They located in Cincinnati, where our subject leaned the cabinet-maker's trade. After working at it there two and a half years, he came to Fort Wayne, where he pursued his calling about the same length of time. After a short period in Logansport, Ind., he returned to Fort Wayne and remained until January, 1864, when he came to Kendallville, engaging in the furniture trade until 1867. For several years, subsequent to this period, he worked at different things - principally book-keeping. In 1877, he bought one-half interest in the brewery with William Seifert, which they conducted until the death of Seifert in September 1879, when Mr. Wichman became the sole owner, and which he has conducted up to the present time, being now, by a subsequent change in proprietorship, manager for the owner, Henry C. Paul, of Fort Wayne. This brewery was built in 1867, by Louis Schwartzkopf and Geo. Aichele, subsequently becoming the property of Francis J. Beek, Seifert and Heinike, and the parties mentioned above. Mr. Wichman has served as City Clerk three years; as Township Assessor one term, and is now the City Civil Engineer. He is a prominent member of the German Lutheran Church, having been a member, together with his wife, since 1864. Mr. Wichman was united in marriage, in 1857, with Miss Elizabeth Eberlein; she came from Bavaria, Germany, in 1848, to America. They have nine children-Emma, Herman, Lizzie, Magdelena, Albert, Lydia, Paul, Henry and Clara.

Murray leading Rossi in critical Senate race
Rossi: 'We're all going to have to wait a little longer'
Updated 10:00 pm, Monday, November 1, 2010
Sen. Patty Murray, hoping to survive a GOP surge that was sweeping Democrats out of office nationwide, was leading Republican Dino Rossi in early returns Tuesday night.
Murray was at about 50.5 percent and Rossi 49.5 percent as counties reported results. In the Democratic stronghold of King County, Murray was taking almost 62 percent of the vote and Rossi 38 percent. Many observers believed Rossi had to crack 40 percent in King County to be competitive.
Speaking to hundreds of supporters at Seattle's Westin Hotel ballroom just after 10 p.m., a jubilant Murray said "we are winning tonight. And we are going to win even bigger tomorrow. We are going to win this race."
At the Republicans' party at the Bellevue Hilton, Rossi addressed his backers a little after 9 p.m.
"Tonight is about a course correction across America," Rossi said. "But we don't know, there are lot of ballots to count....we're all going to have to wait a little longer."
The secretary of state estimated about 60 percent of the statewide vote would be tallied by Tuesday night; King County officials hoped to count about 45 percent of the ballots. There were still about 350,000 ballots left to be counted in the state's largest county.
Rossi told seattlepi.com that in the August primary he improved his standing as later ballots were counted. "We expect that will be same," he said. "We expect it will be a close race right to the end."
Big money, national interest
Between them, Murray and Rossi raised more than $22 million. Murray, a three-term incumbent, brought in $15.3 million and Rossi - who got a late fund raising start - amassed $7.3 million, according to OpenSecrets.org. Outside groups, recognizing the Washington Senate seat was key to which party controlled upper chamber, also spent big. Total spending by independent groups topped $19 million, third-most in the country, according to campaign-finance watchdogs. Almost 60 percent of that money went to help Rossi.
Regardless of the Washington outcome, Democrats were posed to hold a narrow majority in the Senate while the GOP retook the House.
The Murray-Rossi contest largely became an Evergreen State referendum on the Obama Administration's first two years.
Rossi railed about the federal stimulus program, the new health care law and said he'd try to repeal recently-passed financial regulations. The Republican said the spending was bankrupting the country and new programs and regulations were stifling business activity needed to pull the country out of the Great Recession.
Murray boasted she helped write the health care law and touted provisions like being able to keep children on their parents' plans longer and prohibitions against denying coverage to sick people. She also pointed to stimulus spending that helped create jobs in Washington, including nearly $2 billion to help with nuclear contamination cleanup at Hanford. Rossi wanted to give such workers "pink slips," she said.
Earmarks - a very small, but controversial part of the federal budget process - were also an issue. Rossi said he'd forgo the practice -- even if he couldn't convince others in Congress to stop the special budget allocations until the government is back in the black.
Murray sponsored or co-sponsored earmarks totaling more than $219 million this year, which put her ninth out of 100 senators in such federal spending. She said it was important that Washington get its fair share of the federal budget for crucial projects like fixing the damaged Howard Hanson Dam in King County.
The Murray-Rossi race got attention from national political figures, as Democrats hoped to build a Northwest dam against a GOP wave they saw building across the country and the Republicans saw an opportunity to turn a blue state red. President Barack Obama came to Seattle to campaign for Murray twice and former President Bill Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden also visited the state to rally Democrats.
Rossi, while not able to tap into the star power available to Murray, also had prominent Republicans like former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown on his side.
At the GOP party in Bellevue Tuesday night, John Kinnick, a 64-year-old from Marysville, described himself as a former Democrat. He said he spent about hours calling GOP supporters to get out vote.
"I've been calling everyone who hasn't voted yet." Of Rossi, he said the Republican has "run a business, he knows how to create jobs."
By 8:30 p.m., hundreds of Murray supporters crowded into Seatle's Westin Hotel ballroom to watch for election reports and await Murray's arrival.
One voter, Bill Heathcote, 57, a cook from Kent, said at the Westin he cast his ballot for the incumbent because "of the jobs she's created here. She's a Boeing person that's going to keep it here."
