Distributor Cap
What is a Distributor Cap and where is it Located?
Before automotive manufacturers moved to using individual coils per cylinder, the distributor assembly was an important part of the ignition system. The distributor would tell the ignition coil at what moment when to fire and transfer the energy from the coil to a specific engine cylinder in order for engine ignition to occur. Older classic vehicles used breaker points and a condenser for this process (mechanical ignition system), whereas later models used electronic systems that relied on an ignition module and the engine's computer for more precise timing (electronic ignition system). In modern automobiles, the distributor is no longer necessary as they are equipped with a distributorless ignition system, also referred to as a direct ignition system (DIS). In vehicles that do use a distributor assembly, it is located on top of the engine, either in front or in back of it depending upon the car or truck.
One of the many components of a distributor assembly is the distributor cap. Also referred to as a distributor cover, the cap is mounted to the top of the housing and fits over the distributor rotor, covering it. It also holds in place the wires that connect the individual cylinder points underneath the distributor cap to the spark plugs screwed into each engine cylinder. The distributor cap helps to transfer the electricity from the distributor rotor underneath the cap to the spark plug wire for each cylinder in order for the engine to start.
So, how does a distributor assembly work exactly? Basically, electricity from the battery is transferred to the ignition coil, and the distributor takes the high voltage output from the ignition coil and feeds it through the ignition wires to the spark plugs that are screwed into each engine cylinder in the order of the firing sequence. The distributor uses the rotation of the engine's camshaft, which it connects to via the distributor shaft, to spin the distributor rotor, which connects directly to the ignition coil, close to (but not touching) the individual cylinder posts (or points) underneath the distributor cap. Each of the postd are connected via a spark plug wire – which connect to the top of the distributor cap via plug terminals - to the spark plug(s) inserted into each cylinder, and are arranged along with the wires according to the engine cylinders' correct firing order sequence. As the rotor spins within the distributor, electrical current is able to jump the gaps between the rotor arm and the individual posts due to the high voltage created by the ignition coil. The electrical current is then transferred from the rotor to the spark plug wire, and then to each spark plug attached to each engine cylinder according to the firing order, allowing for proper ignition spark at just the right time for the engine to start.
When is a Distributor Cap Replacement Needed?
While distributor caps are made of voltage-insulating materials in order to prevent them from being burned by electricity and consist of low-resistance terminals to maximize their conductivity, they are the most commonly serviced part of the distributor assembly besides the distributor rotor. Distributor caps wear out and should be inspected yearly for damage. Over time, the distributor cap can become brittle and crack. Cracks in the cap can allow moisture into the distributor assembly and cause misfire or no fire situations as well. In other cases, carbon build-up between the rotor and cap will lower the ignition coil's ability to fire the spark plugs. The distributor cap's electrical connections can also become worn over time, causing similar issues.
If your car or truck uses an ignition system that depends on an ignition distributor and the cap has failed, your engine will not be able to function properly, or at all, and thus your car won't start when you turn the ignition key. Therefore, obtaining an ignition distributor cap replacement and getting it installed is imperative if you plan on driving your vehicle ever again.
Can I Replace a Distributor Cap Myself?
Replacing a distributor cap is a very simple task and usually only requires removing two or three screws. Proper precaution to label each spark plug wire before removal will aid in a quick replacement as well. When replacing a distributor cap, it is recommended to replace the rotor button as well. Since both parts require the same amount of work and receive the same amount of wear and tear, it's a no brainer.
Need a Distributor Cap Replacement?
There are many components in a distributor assembly and when any one of them starts to go bad, it can cause your vehicle to run rough, idle poorly, stall, make popping noises, or hard start. If you have determined that the failed component happens to be the distributor cap, it's essential that you obtain a replacement and install it immediately. At 1A Auto, you will find a large selection of aftermarket distributor caps for many makes and models, at great prices.

Beacon Falls Overwhelming response to 'Vote for Hope' event
On Election Day, the Rotary Club of Beacon Falls held its first "Vote for Hope" food drive to benefit the St. Michael's Food Bank in Beacon Falls. We were overwhelmed with the amount of support we received and would like to take this time to thank all those who helped make it a success.
We thank First Selectmen Gerry Smith, also a Rotarian, for bringing this idea to us at the suggestion of a town resident. We also thank the Rotarians of Beacon Falls and Naugatuck who came out in 30-degree weather to help us with the collection.

W.Va. man charged in death of boy, 3
A Parkersburg man was charged in the death of his girlfriend's 3-year-old son, police said.
Matthew Edward Lamp, 29, of 32nd Street was charged Thursday with the death of a child by a parent, guardian or custodian.
He was being held at North Central Regional Jail on unrelated charges but was interviewed Thursday at the Parkersburg Police Department for his involvement in the death of the boy, according to a news release issued by Parkersburg police.
The boy, identified only as D.K., died Wednesday afternoon at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown.
The boy was flown to Morgantown Sunday afternoon from Camden Clark Medical Center in Parkersburg with serious injuries. The child's mother, whose name has not been released, told police the boy was injured accidentally while playing at their Parkersburg home.
Authorities searched the home Sunday night and began interviewing neighbors and potential witnesses, the release said.
An autopsy is scheduled for today in Morgantown.
Prosecutors and detectives decided to charge Lamp after his interview. A criminal complaint alleges the child was left in his care Saturday and the child received substantial bodily injury resulting in death.
"Lamp allegedly admitted to intentionally striking the victim," the release said.
No charges have been filed against the mother, but Sgt. W.G. Collins said the investigation is ongoing.
Lamp was returned to North Central Regional Jail after his arraignment in Wood County. He is being held without bond and is set for an appearance in Wood Circuit Court in the coming days.

Something for Everyone
Lively, elegant, confident, cosmopolitan, Cardiff caters for all tastes, offering everything from the excitement of a vibrant city life to the peace and tranquility of the nearby coast and countryside:
- Two Thousand Years of History
- Affordable Living
- City Beautiful
- Capital of Culture
- Sport for All
- A Multicultural Community
- Shop 'Til You Drop
Two Thousand Years of History
The history of Cardiff stretches back over 2000 years to Roman times when the Romans first established a fortified settlement on the banks of the River Taff. One thousand years later the Normans came to Cardiff.
The castle, or keep, which can be seen within the modern walls of Cardiff Castle, originates from this time and William the Conqueror came to Cardiff in 1081.
Cardiff remained a small market town for the next few hundred years, but with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, it would come into its own.
The city's greatest period of growth began in the 18th century with the development of the coal and iron industries in the South Wales valleys.
In the early 19th century, first a canal and then the Taff Vale Railway linked Cardiff with Merthyr Tydfil and the Rhondda Valleys, at the time the greatest iron and coal centre in the world. Soon, Cardiff would itself achieve worldwide fame as a great coal-exporting ports.
The resultant growth in population and the massive coal wealth that was invested in Cardiff helped it win city status in 1905, just as it became the largest coal exporter in the world,
As the fortunes of Welsh coal waned in the 20th century, Cardiff transformed itself from a port city into the administrative centre of Wales. Cardiff would become the home of the National Museum of Wales and the Welsh Office. In 1955, it was made Capital of Wales.
Affordable Living
The Times Good University Guide 2012 notes that a recent NUS survey has found that rents in Cardiff are among the lowest in the UK.
The Guardian newspaper also recently identified Cardiff as one of the most affordable cities in the UK.
Cardiff has been identified by the British Tourist Authority (BTA) as the most affordable capital city to visit for the last nine years.
This survey compares 16 capital cities around the world and includes such items as accommodation, travel, food, entertainment, shopping and services.
City Beautiful
The University is set in Cardiff's magnificent civic centre. With its wide tree-lined avenues, ornamental parklands and white-stoned neo-classical architecture, it provides one of the finest sites of any civic university in Britain.
Built at the beginning of the century, it is regarded as a world-ranking example of civic architecture.
Cardiff is also home to such notable buildings as the historic Llandaff Cathedral, the ornate Victorian Coal Exchange and Customs House in what is today Cardiff's Bay Development and the striking new Wales Millennium Centre.
The city also benefits from extensive parklands, some of which come right into the city centre itself.
Indeed, Cardiff has a greater area of parkland per head of population than any other city in Britain, providing residents with unrivalled opportunities for sports, leisure and relaxation.
Capital of Culture
As a capital city, Cardiff offers excellent opportunities for cultural and social activities.
The Wales Millennium Centre is home to the internationally-renowned Welsh National Opera, as well as the Diversions dance company and a host of other arts organisations.
The New Theatre is one of the city's oldest cultural institutions. Its programme of events regularly includes touring London musicals, plays and ballet.
Other cultural centres such as the Sherman Theatre and Chapter Arts Centre offer an eclectic mix of more contemporary film, dance and drama.
Sport for All
Cardiff offers a wide range of sporting facilities and opportunities for both the active and the armchair sports enthusiast.
Considered one of the finest stadiums in the world, the Millennium Stadium is home to the Welsh rugby team and is also the current host of the FA Cup final, as well as World Cup and European Championship qualifiers. Cardiff is also home to: Glamorgan Cricket Club, based in Sophia Gardens close to the University; Cardiff Rugby Club, one of Europe's leading teams; Cardiff City Association Football Club and the Cardiff Devils Ice Hockey Team.
A Multicultural Community
Cardiff offers a multicultural environment in which all nationalities and beliefs are represented and respected.
Facilities and community groups representing all major religions may be found close to the University.
Within the city centre and its surrounding suburbs, delicatessens, restaurants and ethnic-produce stores provide a source of prepared foods and essential ingredients from Africa, Asia, the Indian Subcontinent and Eastern Europe.
As one of Britain's first mixed communities, Cardiff is imbued with a relaxed cosmopolitan atmosphere where everyone is made welcome.
Shop 'Til You Drop
Cardiff's compact and pedestrianised city centre is one of the most attractive and successful regional shopping centres in Britain.
Close to Cathays Campus, the city centre has a huge range of shops, including Topshop, Office and Marks & Spencer, whilst the newly opened St David's Shopping Centre is home to a flagship John Lewis department store as well as stores such as Reiss, All Saints, Urban Outfitters and Hollister.
Department stores and designer labels are only one part of shopping in Cardiff.
The city's unrivalled number of covered Victorian arcades offer an alternative experience of hip boutiques, bookshops, coffee-bars, and record and CD shops catering to the latest student tastes.

The D-Day Coast
The D-Day Coast
Normandy's coastline is a superb cruising ground in its own right, and its history goes back a lot further than 60 years.
By Alan Harper — June 2004
Destined for all time to be linked with the historic events of June 6, 1944, France's Normandy coast is often overlooked as a cruising destination. But if what you want from a cruise is pretty scenery, interesting ports of call, and good local cuisine, Normandy can deliver. If you like a smattering of local culture and a bite of history as well, Normandy has both in spades. Long before the German occupation in World War II—long before Germany had been created, in fact—Normandy was a powerful, independent state with great castles, bustling cities, and towering cathedrals. More recently it became an idyllic rural backwater of modern France, famed for its apples, cider, butter, and cheeses—a sort of French Vermont, but with more beaches and better food.
And then came D-Day, adding a new chapter to the pages of history laid out on the landscape—shattered concrete and rusting steel among the castles and cathedrals. While the beauty of the Norman coastline and the tranquility of its rural hinterland make it possible, at least momentarily, to forget the events of 60 years ago, there is no escaping them for long. Every town has its little museum, and the shoreline and landscape are dotted with monuments, memorials, and cemeteries. Such melancholy reminders can often obscure the fact that the French are reverent about D-Day—or J-Jour, as they call it—and remember the sacrifice made by the young Allied soldiers, particularly the Americans, with great humility and gratitude.
There are seven yachting harbors on the D-Day coast, stretched between St. Vaast, located ten miles north of Utah Beach, and Ouistreham, the ferry port on the Caen Canal, which marked the eastern edge of the landing zone. These waters may not command the fearful respect of those belonging to neighboring Brittany, with its 35-foot tides and jagged rocks, but they still expect you to pay attention. The spring-tide range is more than 20 feet, and with the shoreline being predominantly shallow, shelving, and sandy, you've got to hold your cruising guide the right way up if you don't want to find yourself high and dry several miles offshore, instead of locking securely through into some snug overnight haven.
St. Vaast is perhaps the most famous yachting center on this stretch of coast, long popular with English cruising boats, many of which make the trip here solely for the superb Saturday market—cheeses, seafood, smoked meats, truffles, the best of rural France—and to stock up at the legendary Monsieur Gosselin's, one street back from the Quai Vauban. In their own quiet way the French tend to regard their country as the center of world civilization, and in a shop like this you can see what they mean. The delicatessen stocks everything you can think of and a good many things you won't recognize, but proprietors are used to the culinary ignorance of foreigners and are happy to explain. The finest wines are in the dark cellar at the back of the shop, but for the more price-conscious, Gosselin bottles his own. Although the English Channel in December is grey, cold, and often stormy, British yachts routinely make the 70-mile crossing to stock up for Christmas at Gosselin's, or die of exposure in the attempt. It's worth it.
Carentan and Isigny are both some way inland, up the shallow tidal channels of the rivers Douve and Vire—a little off the beaten track for a cruising yacht. Both towns saw fierce fighting in the days after the landings and considerable bombardment from Allied aircraft. As the American General Omar Bradley remarked surveying the damage, "The people of Isigny waited for more than four years to be liberated. And now, seeing the ruins of their country, they consider us responsible." Today this pretty town displays no outward sign of the ordeal it went through.
The harbor of Grandcamp also has some yacht pontoons and offers an easy approach when the tide is right. The port lies between Utah and Omaha Beaches and was taken by American troops on June 9. Bradley set up his headquarters there.

This is one of the key findings from Brand Emissions, the first annual survey of the carbon performance of 600 of the UK's biggest brands, which was released today. Other brands failing to report include Channel 4, Dyson, Facebook and Iceland.
At the other end of the scale were 'Brand Emissions Leaders', such as T-Mobile, BMW, British Airways, Abbey and Dell.
The leaders, who also include all of the 'big four' supermarkets and Marks & Spencer, were awarded the status for delivering carbon emissions reductions or being top ranked on emissions intensity in their sector; having emissions targets above the UK government's climate change committee and reporting carbon emissions in compliance with accepted international standards.
In other findings McDonald's, Harvey Nichols and Porsche were revealed as having no public emission reduction targets. Of those that reported their emissions, 122 (54%), increased them in 2008 such as Barclays, Sky and Ebay.
Brand Emissions was commissioned by Marketing and Brand Republic and conducted by Edinburgh University Business School and the ENDS Carbon team. The data is drawn mainly from the Carbon Disclosure Project (the largest carbon database in the world).
Overall performance tables will be available on www.brandemissions.com from today (25 November) and in a detailed analysis of the results The Brand Emissions Leaders Report 2009 - on 9 December.
For further information about Brand Emissions sponsorship and membership opportunities please contact Sarah Paez at Marketing on 020 8267 4932 or email@example.com

I have a 4x8 work table that's used for all sorts of activities. The ceiling is not too far above it; the joist bottoms are 4'10" but hanging a light puts the bottom of the fixture more like 4' 4" above the table.
I get glare when placing coated paper (magazines, etc) on the table.
I've got 4' fluorescent fixtures with a white plastic diffuser. Tried hanging them down the center of the table, and just now moved them so one is along each edge. Still get glare. The location where the glare reflects from changes when I move my body; it seems to be a certain angle of reflection. If I tilt the object a little to reduce make the angle from table to my eyes closer to 90 degrees the glare goes away.
Aside from wearing polarized sunglasses, what can be done to locate the fixtures to get rid of glare?

As you well know the action of a turbulator is different and because of that many suppliers use smaller tanks with turbulators--or use more resin. I believe one of the other posters on this board has posted that he does the latter.
There are many approaches to water treatment and very few "requirements". Rather there are practices, good practices, etc. Just because you do things one way does not mean that there are not other ways and just because someone does things differently than you recommend does not make them wrong.

by Compassion & Choices staff
April 17, 2013
Choice at life's end scored a major victory yesterday! The Montana Senate defeated a bill to criminalize aid in dying, which was made legal by the 2009 state Supreme Court ruling in Baxter v. Montana.
As a Compassion & Choices supporter, you share credit for this impressive win. We prevailed against anti-choice zealots who worked for more than three years to undo the landmark Baxter ruling and quash the right of terminally ill Montanans to die with dignity on their own terms.
Make no mistake: This is a resounding victory for Compassion & Choices, our supporters in Montana and across the country, and for the principle of self-determination. Please take a few moments to savor it and the extraordinary effort that made it possible.
1) The Montana Senate actually reversed course to defeat HB505. We called it the "Physician Imprisonment Act of 2013″ because it would have incarcerated doctors for up to 10 years for providing aid in dying to terminal patients. Once predicted to pass, the bill was defeated instead, by a bipartisan vote of 27-23.
2) The Senate vote was the direct result of sustained on-the-ground activism by Compassion & Choices Montana. For more than two years, this dynamic campaign fielded staff and volunteers to alert residents to the threat of HB505. Its multi-tactical campaign included:
• an education drive that reached tens of thousands of Montanans in all corners of the state and encouraged them to telephone their legislators and otherwise make their voice heard;
• radio and print ads urging Montanans to contact their legislators to oppose the bill;
• outreach to newspaper editorial boards and other opinion leaders, and an aggressive letter-to-the-editor campaign;
• mobilization of doctors to publicly oppose the bill and affirm their support for the practice of aid in dying;
• in-person lobbying of lawmakers in Helena and their home districts;
• social media and other efforts to spread the word and summon voters to action.
3) A high point in our campaign came when long-time supporter Dr. Eric Kress, a family physician at Western Montana Clinic, publicly disclosed that he had written aid-in-dying prescriptions for three of his patients since the 2009 Baxter decision.
Dr. Kress narrated our radio ad, appeared in print ads, authored a powerful op-ed for The Missoulian newspaper and delivered courageous testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. We cannot overstate the importance of his eloquent and persuasive support, and the influence it had on lawmakers and the public alike.
4) We backed up our advocacy with a poll of Montana voters, which confirmed that 73 percent opposed HB505 and 67 percent were less likely to vote for a legislator who supported it.
5) The victory maintains Montana's status as the third state where aid in dying is expressly legal. That status was the direct result of Compassion & Choices' landmark Baxter v. Montana lawsuit, which confirmed that physician aid in dying did not violate state public policy in Montana.
6) The victory also underscores the growing level of public willingness to take personal action to defend the right to death with dignity, and to oppose zealots who seek to pass draconian laws like HB505 and use misinformation, scare tactics, moral judgments and other means to deny people their most sacred rights at life's end.
Special thanks goes to the thousands of Montanans who took action to defeat HB505, and to hundreds of Compassion & Choices Montana volunteers who worked the phones, knocked on doors, talked to neighbors and loved ones, and otherwise devoted themselves to make sure that truth and reason prevailed.
Without our shared commitment, HB505 would be law today. The fact that it isn't is a true testament to the leadership of Compassion & Choices Montana and the dedication of our wonderful supporters.

Joe D'Amico's NCAAB Free Winner

Point Spread: -1½/-110 Vanderbilt
Hello sports fans. Let's face it, my college hoops have been MONEY all season long. This Saturday I will take it up a notch with my MAC GAME OF THE MONTH, 100% 'DOG OUTRIGHT WINNER, and ,my coveted LV STRIP MOVE PLAYS. A game that stands out to me this Saturday is Vanderbilt at Auburn. Vandy has won 4 of their L6 SU, 5-2 ATS their L7 while Auburn has dropped 6 in a row and 12 of their L13 SU, failing to cover 5 straight. The Commodores Johnson, Odom, Fuller, Bright, Parker, and Jeter are just too much for the understaffed and outclassed Tigers here, who depend way too much on Guard, Frankie Sullivan. Vanderbilt has won 7 straight over Auburn. They are 3rd in the SEC in points allowed at 59.8 PPG and have given up just 62 PPG in 8 of their L9 contests. This game is going to be even uglier than the 73-61 whooping Vandy put on Auburn back in January. I lean towards Vanderbilt here. But to ensure a profit, get all my GUARANTEED winners right here. This is Joe D'Amico. Thank you.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By DAVID SHARP, The Associated Press
ELEPHANT MOUNTAIN — Flying low over snowy terrain on a Cold War training mission, Lt. Col. Dan Bulli's massive B-52 bomber hit turbulence that shook the plane so violently that he couldn't read the gauges.Pulling back on the yoke and depressing the throttle, he tried to fly out of the severe wind. Then there was a loud bang.
In this photo on Dec. 14, 2012, Greenville Police Chief Jeff Pomerleau views a monument next to wreckage from a B-52 bomber on Elephant Mountain near Greenville. The plane's 40-foot-tall vertical stabilizer had snapped off and crashed on Jan. 24, 1963. Seven of the nine people on board died in the crash.
Moving at about 325 mph, the unarmed bomber banked, nose down, toward the unforgiving winter wilderness below. Unable to control the plane, Bulli signaled for the crew to eject.
They had seconds to save themselves.
Today, the B-52 Stratofortress is a legendary aircraft, one of the longest-serving in U.S. military history, even flying missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. The planes will remain in service for years to come. But it would not have become the workhorse it is without one disastrous flight 50 years ago next week, and a similar one six days later in New Mexico, that helped to underscore a deadly structural weakness.
"When you're flying combat aircraft, you're pushing your aircraft to the edge" to simulate combat, said Jeff Underwood, historian for the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Ohio. "It's very dangerous and the air crew knows it."
The fateful flight originated on Jan. 24, 1963, at Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts. The crew was learning to use terrain avoidance radar, designed to help the pilot fly at treetop level to deliver a nuclear strike. Radar advances by the Soviets forced the aircraft with a 185-foot wingspan to fly low to the ground to evade detection, causing unexpected structural fatigue, Underwood said.
The crew had a choice of two routes, one over Maine and the other over North Carolina.
Maine was selected because of better weather.
Bulli, now 90, was an experienced pilot with 9,000 flight hours, responsible for overseeing proficiency of other B-52 pilots and crews.
Others, including two instructors, joined the flight. Gerald Adler, a navigator, took the seat of the electronic warfare officer, one of only three on the plane that ejects upward during an emergency, along with the pilot and co-pilot. Remaining crew had to eject downward or bail out.
The flight started out as routine. Powered by eight jet engines and capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds of conventional munitions, the B-52 approached rural Greenville, 150 miles from Portland. Gusts coming off the 3,000- to 4,000-foot-high mountains buffeted the plane with moderate turbulence, Bulli recalled.
Eventually, the turbulence became extreme.
"The instrument panel was vibrating so badly that I couldn't read the dials. I couldn't interpret the radar returns because it was juggling so bad. It was the worst turbulence I had ever encountered," the pilot said.
After hearing what sounded like an explosion - he later learned the vertical stabilizer had broken off - Bulli had just seconds to determine whether the plane was still flyable. Unable to control the aircraft, he ordered the crew to bail.
The B-52 crashed into a mountainside, killing six crew members who couldn't escape. A seventh, the co-pilot, died after slamming into a tree.
Bulli shot his ejection seat into the air, bursting through the escape hatch. He smashed his foot on the instrument panel but cleared the aircraft. His parachute snagged a tree, and he ended up dangling 30 feet above the ground.
Adler's parachute failed to deploy, and he remained strapped to his ejection seat as he shot through the air, tumbling end-over-end before crashing through trees and into the deep snow, which slowed his impact enough to save his life.

Skateboarding in Skateistan!
By Zan Azlee
JAN 16 — Merza Muhammadi is one of the best skateboarders in Afghanistan. This 17-year-old is an instructor and mid-level manager at Kabul's only skatepark, Skateistan, and is looked up to by hundreds of Kabul kids. But Merza hasn't always been in this positive situation. Only four years before, he was working the streets cleaning cars to help support his family.
"Skateistan has been a real positive influence in my life," said the ever-smiling Merza.
Started in 2007, Skateistan is more than just an ordinary skatepark. It's an NGO that aims to bring together the many different ethnic youth in Kabul, whether privileged or not, through the sport of skateboarding.
"Skateboarding really fits the Afghan psyche in the sense that it challenges the local kids to overcome personal fear and limitations in whatever situations," explained founder and executive director, Oliver Percovich.
Merza had always been interested in skateboarding ever since he saw pictures in a skateboarding magazine, but never had the opportunity to try it out. Not until he met Oliver who was working in Kabul at that time and often skated near an old fountain in a park on the outskirts of the city. That was back in 2007.

Yankees closer Rivera says this is final season
Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated.
Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera says this will be his final season.
Rivera made the announcement Saturday at the team's spring training complex. There was word this week that he will retire after the season, and he made it official at a news conference.
The 43-year-old Rivera holds the career saves record with 608 and has helped the Yankees win five World Series titles. He is regarded as the greatest closer of all time, whether he's throwing his cut fastball in the regular season or postseason.
Rivera missed most of last year after tearing his right knee while shagging flyballs during batting practice in early May.

However, I believe the time has come for a course correction. The Woodstock 5K is not putting its best foot forward as far as the city is concerned.
In particular, the once-proud Rocky Hollow Road has experienced the worst of urban blight, with rundown homes and crime being prevalent.
I suggest that the course be changed moderately to include areas that best represent the "Model City" and not areas that have "run their course."

In 1980, Ken Grossman founded the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and over the years turned it into one of the first and most successful craft breweries ever built.
This week at the Brewers Association's "Craft Brewers Conference" in San Diego, we caught up with this brewing pioneer to talk about Sierra Nevada and the business of craft beer: past, present and future.
What was your first exposure to brewing?
When I was growing up in Southern California I had a neighbor that was actually a rocket scientist, he was an accomplished home brewer and home wine maker. His son and I were best buddies going through elementary school, junior high, and high school. His dad would be brewing something on his stove every weekend and had rows of carboys fermenting away. I was just intrigued by all of that and think it sort of stuck.
What was it like in the early days of building your brewery?
In those days, in the late 70's when I was planning the brewery, there was only a couple of small brewers in the U.S. The whole U.S. brewing industry was down to about 40 independent companies and I had a very small goal of brewing about a thousand barrels a year. Maybe 1,500 barrels a year and our business plan reflected a limited ambition at that point. On paper it looked like we could survive and make a living. It was a struggle the first year or so, and then people started loving our beer and we kept growing and haven't stopped since.
How hard was it to get the ingredients you needed in the beginning?
I drove my '57 Chevy truck down to a malt house that was in San Francisco and would load 2,000 pounds of malted barley on the back. I made a pilgrimage up to Oregon and Yakima, Wash., every year and would buy all my hops, which I still do. I still go up and visit the hop growers and buy all my hops every year. It certainly wasn't the norm for the size we were, they were used to dealing with railcars of malt and I had this old Chevy truck with a hopper in the back.
What was the biggest challenge at the time?
Right now, there's a huge amount of excitement and there's a lot of understanding of craft beer. When we first started, there was a huge educational process we had to do. It was hard to get the retailer to put the beer on the shelf, it was hard to get wholesalers to take you seriously and want to distribute your beer — but that's all changed.
With the move to North Carolina and the continued growth of Sierra Nevada, is there any concern about being perceived as too big? Having it change the way people look at you?
It's something we talk about. Our goal is to stay privately owned and family owned, and have our culture and commitment to the environment and what we do in our brewing methods stay a part of who we are. We still brew the same batch size, we just brew more batches. For us, size isn't really an impediment to being a great craft brewer. It's about philosophy and how you execute it.
How often do people approach you about buying you out?
Almost daily.
Is there a price?
No. Not really. I mean there probably IS a price, but I'm not motivated by the money. I never got into brewing thinking I was going to get rich. It was something I did because I loved beer and I was passionate about the whole process of making it. At this point I don't want for anything. I've got enough money and my family is doing fine, so for us it's part of who we are and it would be tough to turn around and sell it to somebody.
How would you assess the impact of craft beer on the beer industry as a whole?
I think what craft brewing has done for the beer industry is (bring) a lot of innovation, flavor, options, excitement. Now there are lots of new styles or new interpretation on old styles that craft beer has really pushed the boundaries on, and that's brought new drinkers into the market place. I have lots of people tell me 'I hate beer, but I love your beer.'
Of all the beers you brew, which is your personal favorite?
It's sort of like my children. I would never publicly say I have a favorite child, so I'm not going to tell you my favorite beer!

Jakriborg, Sweden is a predominantly car free, transit and pedestrian oriented and considerably dense new urbanist development.
Reminds me of "A Pattern Language" one of my sources for thinking about Human Scale schools. In a community like this the school could easily use the whole town as a resources for learning.
Public Education is for the People, the Children and the Community! Not Corporate Profits! Occupy Education!
As a student, I occupy my education with a community that fosters passion and encourages my questions.
Occupy Education: School should be a time and place for students to discover and become themselves. At the same time, they should learn to become contributing members of something bigger than themselves: A classroom community, a group of friends, a family, a neighborhood, a polis.
As educators, therefore we must aspire toward building classroom communities around this ideal: where each person is encouraged to grow and thrive in harmony with others.
See my blog post: Part I — "Education is political": The people and the polis .
I strongly agree we the whole statement above! Schools should be based on community of individuals learning and developing themselves while learning to be part of a larger community!
Students have a great opportunity to use their collective voice to stand up to practices in education that do not help them to be creative, innovative, mindful, critical thinkers. Students deserve education that is passion and project based that has a connection to life and to their community.
Please encourage your students to use their voice to make change, even if it means occupying classrooms and gyms, even if it means walking out of class. Students have power to make change, teachers have the power to make change, parents have the power to make change. We just need to come together around education transformation!
Please reblog this and join us by submit your voice to the ever expanding collections of power messages of change!
-adventures in learning
I occupy education because I'm tired of failure
I occupy education because I believe in real reforms and second chances
I occupy education because I work to bring students to the table
I occupy education because I've been told that I'm a failure because I'm 17 in the 9th grade. Even though I've been declare advanced in all core subject areas except for mathamatics.
I occupy education because I believe its time we reclaim education.
I occupy education because I believe everyone's voice counts, not just the 1%'s.
I am the out-of-work educator, who holds a Master of Arts in Education Degree, a Bachelor of Arts Degree, 3 volunteer jobs, $40,000 in debt, 5 resumes, 10 cover letters, and several years of youth experience.
I occupy education, everyday, by holding out hope that the opportunity to educate our youth will happen soon, so I can facilitate them in the learning of not repeating the same mistakes others have made in our financial sector.
I am the Progressive Educator; I am the 99%
