Well I figured I would go ahead and start a thread of what Im doing with my build instead of post in other build threads.
I went to the Kershaw chassis but its kicking my butt getting things just the way I want them. A little fab work involved right now to mount the RX8 ESC. I bought a snappy mount but not liking hte clearance for the way Im going to tuck the wiring and the addition of the Yeah Racing dual tornado fan heat sink. Ive not had temp issue but Im going to push the gearing on it to see just how high I can go and still be running 4s so I figured cooling would be in order for the motor.
Not going to be as intuitive as Craig or 87GN's of 50s threads but just a different flavor and Ill post some pics up when Im done. Should have it mosly road ready by torrow.
Ordred up the The Tekno carriers to use with MIPs so I had to run down a set of 6x16x5 bearings which arent all that common. Boca had them in ceramic although be it a bit pricey at $7.99/bearing. The only other was Avid and I just didnt like the looks of them. Also got a Tekno RX box that was made for the REVO to mount in the place of a servo when going single servo. I liked this idea better because its going to make for a cleaner wire install and I wont be crowded up around the motor. I did have to make one modification as the servo screw holes didnt line up. I used one existing side then drilled and tapped a hole from underneath for the other. A short 3mm screw just pokes through the bottom plate. This box is huge! but thats OK as I have an RX switch mounted in it and it leave pletnty of room for the excess wire. The onl thing Im not liking is the entry points for the wire being two large slots so its not anywhere near water proof. Im going to at least make is splash resistant.
Ill post some pics up when Im done.

Nice list!
Years ago I ran aluminum pillow balls but they bent pretty fast then I tried titanium with no luck so back to stock
I was a bit hesitant but I needed new ones as the steel ones arent all that smooth and get gouged and pitted fairly easily. I wanted to try something else so I got the aluminum. If they are a bust Ill try the Titanium next.
Hey were is the PIC...? Sounds like a beauty & a beast........
Would you go flip my truck back over??
Dont want to post pics with her guts strewn all over the place but here are a few quickies with how she is sitting right now. Still have work to do! Ill take some nice photos with a real camera when she is done.
looking good JT cant wait to see it complete and some speed run vids
6S OR NOTHING............................ maybe 5s
There you go........ so a little info on the RD logics silver Aluminum tranny housing..
Would you go flip my truck back over??
Note I left the wheels on so you cant see the ugly blue integy knuckles! LOL
Already have the tekno carriers assembled, just waiting for the 6x16x5 outer bearings.
Still up in the air on the pushrods and toe links. Been pondering Lunsford titanium for one or the other or both.
i really like my traxxas tubes much stronger than i anticipated and easier to adjust
6S OR NOTHING............................ maybe 5s
I hear ya, Im not displeased....just going to be bored when Ive replaced everything on the truck! LOL I enjoy building as much as running them. I offered up to do spec builds for the mechanically challenged in the market place but folks are expecting to get them for less than what I have in the parts. Wasnt looking to make money, just something to build and recoupe the cost of the parts. Probably got 50 pms from folks wanting a stocker RTR with all new parts for under $500.
Hahahahahaha that's hilarious I enjoy building as well.... Let me know wen you start selling these $900 tricks for $500
6S OR NOTHING............................ maybe 5s
LOL, Ill be sure to include myself on the mailing list too! Maybe I can figure out a way to cheat myself and still come out ahead if I do it through offshore accounts and time the exhange rate just right!
Thats not even the bad part, they wanted top rated LIPOs and a $150 charger too included in the $500 tag!
I was born one night but it wasnt last night and like I said, I wasnt even looking to turn a profit. Just something I enjoy doing and do it at cost.
i hear you the lipos and charger will almost cost that.
6S OR NOTHING............................ maybe 5s
I know this is your onroad, but do you think it's good for a 60ft jump?
One mans garbage is another mans ungarbage" -Ricky
Woah, looks nice!
btw, thats one huge motor heatsink! Does it perform well?
Heres a vid clip of a build of an older version that used a weaker alloy and was not as thick. Looks like it faired pretty good to me. No 60 ft jumps int he vid but several bad nose dives that cartwheeled it that is worse that a good landing on a 60ft jump. Personally Ive never seen anyone pull off a 60ft jump but this vid is pretty close.
I dont see myself doing that anyhow. Pretty elaborate and extreme.
Havent tested it yet but it flat moves some air. with the fans running you can feel the air that is defelcted and comes out from under the top plates moving at a pretty good clip. When I get it done and run it I intend to do some with/without comparisons.

hey dude that is one AWESOME build.you are making me want to do mine over again
Thanks Hottrodd. Its getting better by the minute. I got anxious and probably wont be running it before my 6x16x5 bearings come in from boca so tonight the ugly blue integy knuckles went bye bye. Folks tend to shudder when integy is mentioned but truth be know they knuckles anyhow are every bit as good as the STRC, they look like they were made fron the same CNC program. I didnt like the stockers in the least, mostly due to the small outer bearing and cooking though several before I changed them out. I only snagged the integy because some one was selling them NIP for dirt cheap, $20 for the set of 4. I tried for a very long time to get the STRC red HD knuckles but they have been on back order everywhere for months, along with pretty much everything else that is red. These Teknos look and feel awesome. The multiple ackerman positions, the pivot ball retainers and the set screws that hold the pivot ball cap in place and keep it from backing out are all a plus. They are also nice and meaty! Other than the bearings from Boca about the only thing I have left to do is solder up the motor leads to the motor but Im still contemplating excatly how Im going to route them. Once thats done and the bearings are in it will be ready to run but still have other stuff to do. The HPP hexes and motor brace are still in transit from Germany so they may take awhile. It wasnt worth the postage to get them expedited, darn near as much as the hexes cost!
What Cvds are those
6S OR NOTHING............................ maybe 5s
I think better off! Had a few break too taking the rpm arm with it when I couldn't get it out
Last edited by JustinThyme; 02-23-2013 at 10:28 PM.
wow i like those tekno carriers.looks like they did the same thing i did to my carriers to stop the caps from backing out by using a set screw.i just drilled a hole in the sides and used to tiny screws that i had on hand.for some reason i had the fronts just keep backing out so i got fed up and fixed it.now i see those and all the other upgrades they have i'll be ordering some myself.i had the hpp motor brace on one of mine and it was a big pain in the butt so i took it off.almost all the erevos i own have hpp hexes on them.i love em. its sad you dont like blue since thats my favorite color but i understand it.now i'm looking at my kershaw one i built ready to change it around but i have one to build for my grandsons 10th bday so that comes first.not gonna be anything special just a brushed version and blue rpm arms.i wish traxxas or somebody would make a white dyeable chassis because he wanted that blue but i dont see it happening.btw has anyone tried the titanium pillow balls?
i did mine a while back and showed it to him and i asked him if he wanted it like mine and he said if it can't be blue leave it grey
keep up the great work Justin all looks awesome and sometimes we all have to figure stuff out for ourselves
It's coming together nicely mate .
Rock n Rolla !
Mailman was good to me today.
Received bearings from Boca for the Tekno knuckles and I was suprised to get the HPP order from Germany.
I dont know if its a cumlative thing or not but the HPP hexes seem too tight if I torque them down.
Not using stock axles, not using stock carriers and now the HPP hexes.
Anyone running the HPP hexes notice this?
They are fine if I tighten them down to the point I can hold the hex by hand but when I put the wheel on and go for the last umph they are too tight.
Havent put the loctite on yet, just a dry run. Anyone chime in on this?
Last edited by JustinThyme; 02-26-2013 at 06:17 PM.
Hm, i can probably check mine tomorrow as i expect to have them by tomorrow. Did you use the washer(there is one for each hex, right?)
Yes, I tried with and without. Removing the washer only made it worse.
The directions are a bit misleading. One one hand it says hand tight but then it shows putting the wheel on to tighen but still says hand tight. Mabye its only meant to be snugged and the reason for the loctite?
Not much to installing the HPP hex adapters...don't over tighten or you will be using a hack saw to remove...been there .
Rock n Rolla !
Thanks Mitch. Guess what Ill do is install them and just tighten the center nut snug. Thats what I was figuring as no matter how you slice it if you tighten them down all the way, washer, no washer, teflon washer, .01 shim it all comes out the same. The loctite should hold the center nut in place.

2010 VFR1200F, the long-awaited follow-up to the previous Interceptor.
We're not making any earth-shattering predictions here, but Honda's dual-clutch transmission as seen on the 2010 VFR1200F is here to stay.
"Revolutionary" is a buzzword that gets thrown around far too often, but I have to say that after riding Honda's brand-new 2010 VFR1200F V-Four at the Sugo Circuit outside of Sendai, Japan, as well as on public roads nearby, this bike truly defines that expression.

When I had the 2 foster bichons last week, I received some info from another foster volunteer and thought I'd pass it along.
Buddy had sores on his front legs. He chews and nibbles them raw. The prior owner would put Bacitracin on and wrap in ACE bandages. Here is the info another person passed along:
I have a suggestion for the Chubby Guy who chews on his front legs. I have a diabetic pup, who goes through bouts of chewing on her legs until they are raw. Usually, Neosporin works, I put gauze around the legs and put Bandguard on the guaze so she won't try to chew on the bandage. That didn't work this time. So I went another route. I started putting canned Salmon, packing water and all, on her food at meal time, and her legs are clearing up and she has stopped chewing, I think its the Omega 3 in the Salmon that works on the skin and skin problems. the Bactine would aggravate the problem, because it dries the skin. I'm not trying to butt in, I just experienced this problem recently.
Just thought i would post this in case it can help someone.

Muni's Fiddler another solid production
For fans of live theater in Springfield, attending The Muni's new production of Fiddler on the Roof is a bit like seeing the James Bond movie Casino Royale — we've heard there's a new guy in the lead role and we've seen him in other productions… but we're not sure how he'll do as our favorite character.
For almost four decades, only two men (Jack Duffy and Barry Weiss) have played
the lead role of Tevye at The Muni. This time, the part went to veteran local
actor Steve Kaplan. Kaplan, who is on stage for almost each of the show's 160 minutes, must set the tone and drive the production — and he does both jobs nicely.
Fiddler on the Roof and other standard, well-known musicals are often hard to stage because they rarely offer the director an opportunity for customization. While that's true of director Chuck Hoots' current adaptation of Fiddler, the problem may be more of a blessing than a curse. Hoots and his crew do well to sneak a few new elements into an old favorite. One missed chance, though, is in the large dance numbers. Sure, the bottle dancers (Jon Bee, Eric Groeteke, Tyler Ott and Mark Podeschi) are captivating, but when the most exciting move in a Russian bar-dance is a cartwheel, something's missing. The oversight is more than atoned for by the remarkable and towering ghost of Fruma-Sarah during a truly clever and original staging of Tevye's dream in which Roger Carr's lights bounce around dark fog as zombie Russians rule the stage in Thriller-like fashion.
Fiddler's real strength, however, may be paradoxical: it's a good show because there are no standouts. All the actors, from the children's chorus all the way up to the headlining roles, are good. Acting, singing,
dancing, directing and technical aspects are mostly strong. The fact that no
one steals the show (or needs to) means that this production is allowed the
space to come alive in a natural way.
A capable cast of impressive size fills the stage from the onset. Hoots and his
experienced staff (Laurie O'Brien, assistant director; Mike Rogers, producer; Bill Bauser, Jr., vocal
director; Luda Olifiruk, choreographer; Sue Warren, musical director; and
others) dress the stage with constant motion, and their actors find just the
right rhythm to sustain a long show.
Most in the audience probably know the story. It's 1905 in a small village in Tsarist Russia. Tevye, a milkman, works to maintain his beloved traditions although non-traditional suitors pursue his three eldest daughters. As an anti-Jewish movement threatens to destroy their village, Tevye and his family must leave their homes in search of a new way of life.
The character of the Fiddler on the Roof serves as a metaphor for people "trying to scratch out a little tune without breaking [their] necks," something perhaps especially relatable in our current economic climate. In this
production, however, the Fiddler does not fiddle but inexplicably mimes his way
around the instrument as real music is produced from the orchestra pit. Why not
find a fiddler who fiddles, or put one of the two listed orchestra violinists
on stage? It's a small concern, but worth mentioning because a fiddling fiddler would be less
distracting, could be used more and might have a more effective interaction
with Tevye. It is the name of the play, after all.
Another key to success for any popular show is chemistry, which is not lacking in any of this version's many relationships. Not only are all five sisters (played beautifully by Jenna Nickelson, Sarah Halford, Molly Smith, Hailey McNamara and Janna Schorfheide) likeable and good together, the three who marry each play well against their men (strongly portrayed by Grant Molen, Lucas Snow and Jacob Deters). Additionally, Loretta Hess coaxes laugh after laugh from the audience as the matchmaker Yente despite some small flubs here and there. Nevertheless, the best relationship to watch is the one between Kaplan's Tevye and Deb Rudis' Golde. The husband and wife cover their enduring love with acerbic wit as they play an intense game of one-upmanship. Kaplan and Rudis each showcase a talent for comic timing and charm that would make Ralph and Alice Kramden proud (or even jealous).
In the interest of full disclosure, it should be stated that Steve Kaplan was my childhood dentist and Chuck Hoots was my high school principal. However, I would never let those small facts color this review — being sent to either office was equally painful.
Fiddler on the Roof runs through July 26 at The Muni, 815 E. Lake Shore Drive. The play begins at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $8-12.
After five years at Warner Brothers, Zach Baliva left to produce the feature film My Name is Jerry. He was active in Springfield Theatre Center and Muni productions during the 1990s.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Local jazz musicians will present "Moving Pictures: Civil Rights Imagery and Improvisation," on Thursday, Feb. 23, at 8 p.m. in the Campus Theatre in Lewisburg. The event is free and open to the public.
The musicians — Bucknell faculty members Barry Long (flugelhorn) and Phil Haynes (drums) join Susquehanna faculty Joshua Davis (bass), and guest saxophonist David Pope (James Madison University) — for an evening of improvised jazz portrayed against the backdrop of moving imagery on the big screen.
"Music provided unity, strength and inspiration throughout the Civil Rights Movement while iconic photographs and their moving narratives aroused awareness and solidarity on the evening news and in the morning paper," said Long, assistant professor of music at Bucknell. "With this event, we want to honor Black History Month and illustrate how the arts worked together to bring about change through our 'interaction' with the images in the theatre.
Long was the first to receive a doctoral degree in Jazz Studies from the Eastman School of Music in May of 2007. He has studied and performed with such artists as Kenny Wheeler, Bob Brookmeyer, John Clayton, Eliane Elias, Benny Carter, Jim McNeely and Dave Stahl; his compositional credits include honors from the Jazz Composers Alliance and commissions for Clark Terry and The Kandinsky Trio. As the Samuel Williams Professor of Music at Bucknell, Long has instituted the Williams Colloquia on Jazz and Culture, a series of talks focusing on the areas of intersection between jazz and society.
Haynes served as Bucknell University's Kushell Jazz Artist-in-Residence from 2007-10 and continues to teach courses in jazz history, directs the Bucknell Improvisation Intensive Ensemble, and coaches the University Jazz Band rhythm section and soloists. A 20-year veteran New York-based artist, he is featured on more than 50 releases by numerous American and European record labels. His regional trio, Adams/Stetz&Haynes, features works by great pianists of the history of jazz. He performs regularly throughout the state with Harrisburg pianist Steve Rudolph, The Hammond Brothers with organist Steve Adams and guest performers such as David Liebman, Herb Robertson, Paul Smoker, Tim Warfield and Jim Yanda.
Davis joined the faculty at Susquehanna University as their new director of jazz studies in 2006. His performance credits include Vardan Ovsepian, Tim Miller, Ben Monder, Peter Erskine, Mark Ferber, Jordan Perlson, Sean Rickman, Marcello Pellitteri, Dan Weiss, Ted Poor, Ari Hoenig, Ole Mathisen, Jerry Bergonzi, Donny McCaslin, Taylor Haskins, Dave Ballou, Greg Hopkins, Randy Brecker, Timucin Sahin, JD Walter, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the Artie Shaw Band and The Ritz.
Professor of saxophone at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va., since 2000, Pope is an active concert and jazz saxophonist who has presented performances and clinics throughout the United States and Europe. A composer and author, he has penned the regular column, "Creative Jazz Improvisation," in Saxophone Journal since 1995. In 2011, he was featured on two recordings: Ted Wiprud's "Fire In Heaven and Earth" (Albany Records) and Matt Smiley's "Quartet Art" (Dazzle Recordings). || Related Bucknell news story: Feb. 22 concert

Downed Trees: Should They Be Reset or Removed?
Hurricane Wilma has ravaged the Broward County Landscape. Much of our beloved tree canopy has either been lost or severely damaged. Property owners and managers are faced with a multitude of decisions regarding what to do with landscaping that remains. Below are some commonly asked questions and answers that maybe helpful in the decision making process.
This question is best answered by a certified arborist (go to http://www.isa-arbor.com and click on "find an arborist") who can visit the property and do an on-site evaluation of each fallen tree. Even if the tree appears to be alive, there may be serious damage to the canopy and/or to the rootball making its recovery questionable.
Generally speaking, it is advisable to remove trees if they possess one or more of the following conditions:
Is a Permit Needed to Remove Downed Trees and Do They Need To Be Replaced?
Technically, a tree that has fallen is no longer considered protected canopy, and a removal permit may not be required. Further, replacement of such trees may or may not be needed depending upon the amount of healthy tree canopy remaining on the property. Check with your city for applicable landscape code requirements. Properties that become deficient in their required tree count due to storm damage, disease or unpermitted removals, will likely be required to bring their landscape up to code.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – An Arkansas Senate panel approved a measure Wednesday banning insurers participating in an exchange created under the health care law from covering most abortions, while the sponsor of legislation banning abortions 20 weeks into a pregnancy said he's facing resistance for it not exempting victims of rape or incest.
By a 5-2 vote, the Senate Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee advanced legislation barring abortion coverage in the health insurance exchange, with exemptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. One Democratic member of the panel voted "present" on the measure.
The measure heads to a Senate that's already approved a measure that would ban most abortions in the state. If enacted, that ban would likely be the most restrictive in the nation.
The legislation advanced by the Senate panel Wednesday would allow abortion coverage through supplemental policies, an option that opponents say is not currently available in the state. Proponents said they're merely taking advantage of a provision in the 2010 health overhaul that allows states to set policies on abortion coverage in the exchanges, marketplaces for individuals and businesses to buy insurance.
"Without this law, those who are responsible for setting up our health care exchanges will be left without clear guidance from the Legislature about how to deal with abortion as they deal with the recently passed federal health care law," Sen. Cecile Bledsoe, the panel's chairman, told lawmakers.
Opponents, however, warned that the measure would prevent women from purchasing insurance coverage that would cover abortions.
"You are banning a woman's right to choose to do this with her own money," said Bettina Brownstein, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas.
The measure, which the House approved this week, is one of several new abortion restrictions lawmakers are considering after Republicans won control of the Legislature in last year's election.
The chief sponsor of another restriction that would ban most abortions at 20 weeks into a pregnancy said he's delaying bringing his proposal before the same panel after concerns were raised about its lack of an exemption for rape or incest. The measure by Rep. Andy Mayberry, R-Hensley, would ban abortions based on the disputed notion that a fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks.
"I think a couple members of the committee might be more supportive of it if it had one in there," said Mayberry, who said he doesn't plan on changing the legislation.
The panel is evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, and Mayberry said he had the support of the four GOP members on the committee. Two Democrats on the panel said they're worried about the lack of an exemption.
"It just gives me a little bit of concern, certainly," said Sen. Paul Bookout, D-Jonesboro, who supported the abortion coverage ban.
Sen. David Burnett, who voted "present" on the coverage ban, said he didn't think he could support Mayberry's bill without the exceptions.
"I think that rape and incest need to be included," said Burnett, D-Osceola.
Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe has said he's reviewing both proposals, but has not said whether he opposes them.
Resistance to the 20-week ban comes a day after the lawmaker proposing an even-stricter prohibition on abortions announced he would alter his legislation to address concerns that it was invasive. In his initial proposal, Sen. Jason Rapert would have banned abortions at about six weeks into a pregnancy, based on when a heartbeat may be detected.
Rapert is amending his bill to trigger the ban if an abdominal ultrasound detects a heartbeat. Opponents have said the only way to detect a heartbeat at six weeks is by using a vaginal ultrasound probe. The change would end up banning an abortion at 10 to 12 weeks into a pregnancy.
"We've struck a compromise that I believe regards the interests and the choice of women but also puts in place a standard to protect the life of the child," Rapert, R-Conway, said Wednesday.
Opponents said the change, however, wouldn't address their concerns that the measure violates the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion up until viability, usually at 22 to 24 weeks. Beebe and Republican House Speaker Davy Carter have also raised concerns about the measure's constitutionality.
"Regardless of any amendments being discussed, any bill that eliminates abortion is a bad bill for Arkansas women and their families," said Murry Newbern, a lobbyist for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland.

|SDSU captures the 2013 Mountain West Conference Baseball Championship
In an age where information must be conveyed in 140 characters or less, what the San Diego State baseball team accomplished this week at the Mountain West Conference Championship can be communicated in eight:
SDSU defeated No. 16-ranked New Mexico 9-4 this afternoon in the winner-take-all finals, setting off a celebration as jubilant Aztecs players piled on top of one another on the mound at Fresno State's Beiden Field.
|Showing off the hardware after the hard work.
The Aztecs claimed the MWC Championship and the conference's automatic berth in the NCAA Regionals. It is SDSU's first regionals berth since 2009 and the 10th postseason appearance in school history.
SDSU will find out where it's headed and who the opponents are in its four-team regional when the entire 64-team field is announced Monday morning at 9 on the "Selection Show" televised by ESPNU. The 16 regional hosts were announced this afternoon. UCLA and Cal State Fullerton are the closest West Coast sites and one of the two is a likely destination for the Aztecs.
After losing their second game in the tournament Thursday to UNLV, the Aztecs had to win four straight games — against Fresno State, UNLV and twice against New Mexico — to claim the championship. And they did.
"The last four games, we can't swing the bats any better," said SDSU coach Tony Gwynn as the Aztecs were being presented with the championship trophy. "Pitching and defense had been our strength all season long, but we had trouble putting runs on the board. The last four games, it just doesn't get any better.
"These guys earned it. We had to come from the loser's bracket, but they put it together, and here we are."
The task facing SDSU (31-29) when it arrived in Fresno six days ago was improbable — perhaps highly so — because it meant getting past a New Mexico team that led the country in offense and all but owned the Aztecs.
New Mexico (37-20) came into the tournament leading the nation in batting average (.338) and runs per game (8.56). They finished 10 games ahead of SDSU in the regular season, winning five of the six contests between the teams. Three of the losses came from being swept at home by the Lobos last weekend.
None of that mattered this weekend.
SDSU hung on for an 8-7 victory Saturday night, forcing Sunday's decisive game. Players who had stepped up all weekend to bring the team through the loser's bracket would be asked to do it one more game. And they did.
The final score hid what happened in the eighth, an inning-ending play at the plate that preserved a 5-4 Aztecs lead and prevented momentum from leaving them for the Lobos.
Remember this: Sheehan to Zier to Romanski.
It is now a part of Aztecs lore.
SDSU led 5-2 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, but New Mexico rallied for a run to make it 5-3 and still had two runners on base with two outs. New Mexico's Jared Meek then doubled down the right-field line. One run scored to make it 5-4 and Alex Allbritton was being waved home.
SDSU right fielder Danny Sheehan chased down the ball and hit second baseman Tim Zier with his throw. Zier's relay throw was a strike to catcher Jake Romanski, who blocked Allbritton off the plate as he made the tag.
|Ty France
Most Outstanding Player
16-for-21, 8 RBI, 9 RS
How buoyed were the Aztecs by the play? They came out and scored four runs in the ninth inning — starting with freshman third baseman Ty France's home run to left field.
The home run punctuated an amazing tournament for France, who was 16-for-21 over six games with eight RBIs and nine runs scored. He was named Most Outstanding Player for his efforts.
The ninth also included a two-run homer by Romanski and a run-scoring double by DH Brad Haynal, removing any doubt about a New Mexico comeback.
The five-run bulge may it easy to close out the game for reliever Ethan Miller, who set down the Lobos in order. He struck out New Mexico All-American D.J. Peterson to end the game.
That rewarded the efforts of starter Philip Walby, who was pitching on short rest after starting and winning the tournament opener Wednesday against Air Force. Walby went the first five innings, allowing two runs on five hits with two walks and a strikeout.
Ryan Doran, who went the distance in Friday's win over Fresno State, relieved Walby and pitched the sixth, seventh and eighth, allowing two runs on four hits with four strikeouts.
The Aztecs trailed 2-1 through four innings before a three-run fifth — highlighted by France's two-run double and a run-scoring single by Matt Munoz — gave them a 4-2 lead. SDSU added another run in the sixth to make it 5-2 when Danny Sheehan singled home teammate Greg Allen.
"Pitching and defense has been what we've live by all year, and now our offense is coming around," said Doran. "We're going to be a scary team to face in a regional. We've got to stay true to our pitching and defense. Like I've said all year, that's what's going to win championships.
"But our offense, I can't be any more appreciative of those guys. They've stuck with us and we've stuck with them. That's what we do. A team wins this game. Not one guy."

In so many ways, Julia Mancuso's bronze medal was more golden. Eight years ago the Squaw Valley native showed the world that she was a big event skier who thrived when the chips were down and conditions were poor. Fast forward to Monday and Mancuso, after leading the super combined downhill, put together the singlemost important slalom run of her career to take her fourth career medal – becoming only the third U.S. Winter Olympian to do so.
QUOTESPat DeneenThe Canadians have a few really strong skiers and today they showed that. The course is pretty crazy. It's a little different than it was yesterday and we have to adapt to that each time. It's part of the sport though and it's something we know and adapt to as much as we can. The course didn't freeze last night like we wanted and it was warmer today which definitely had an affect on the hill.

At the very least since the financial crisis, architecture has been undergoing a global change. Even though architectural prestige projects are being planned and realised around the world, more sustainable architectural concepts have nevertheless gained in significance for economic and social, as well as ecological reasons. Against the background of diminishing resources, migratory movements and permanent crisis, the production conditions for architecture have fundamentally altered. Economic as well as ecological aspects, but also ongoing deficiencies in structurally weak areas, are confronting architecture with new challenges. In this frame the exhibition, The New Restraint is presenting, in the form of room-filling installations, five trend-setting initiatives, which see a social and cultural commitment in architecture. On the basis of videos, photography, plans, material samples, as well as a 1:1 model, forms of architecture are being shown, which employ simple means to react creatively to the shift outlined above. The exhibition is presenting projects distinguished by a high degree of independent initiative, often coming about in cooperation with a local populace as well as using locally-available building materials.

Here are some facts about the U.S. Forest Service hazardous fuels budget.
This is a statement from the U.S. Forest Service:
"We are currently experiencing a challenging fiscal environment that requires difficult tradeoffs between vital agency programs. It is critical to ensure that the U.S. Forest Service maintains adequate capability to respond to wildfires threatening lives, property, and valuable natural and cultural resources while continuing to make progress in reducing hazardous fuels to decrease the risk of extreme wildfires.
"The President's Fiscal Year 2014 budget request for the U.S. Forest Service includes $201 million for Hazardous Fuels. In Fiscal Year 2013, the U.S. Forest Service received approximately $301 million for Hazardous Fuels (the federal fiscal year begins Oct. 1 and ends Sept. 30 each year).
"The U.S. Forest Service is responsible for reducing hazardous fuels within the funding that Congress provides. We do the best job we can with the funding that we have. Due to budget reductions, the U.S. Forest Service target for acres treated declined from 1.6 million in 2012 to 1.4 million in 2013, about a 14 percent reduction. Cuts were spread proportionally between regions. However, in 2012, the U.S. Forest Service far exceeded the target and we anticipate that again this year."
U.S. Forest Service Total Acres Treated
2003 - 1.3 million
2004 - 2.4 million
2005 - 2.6 million
2006 - 2.4 million
2007 - 2.8 million
2008 - 2.6 million
2009 - 3 million
2010 - 2.9 million
2011 - 2.3 million
2012 - 2 million (400,000 acres above 2012 target referenced in preceding paragraph)
"If the U.S. Forest Service exhausts funding sources normally used for fire suppression, it is necessary for the agency to transfer funds from other programs to cover fire suppression costs. This has occurred seven times since 2002. Following are the amounts that had to be transferred from other U.S. Forest Service programs to cover the costs of fire suppression."
Fiscal Year 2002 - $999 million
Fiscal Year 2003 - $695 million
Fiscal Year 2006 - $200 million
Fiscal Year 2007 - $100 million
Fiscal Year 2008 - $273 million
Fiscal Year 2012 - $440 million
Fiscal Year 2013 - $600 million (approximately, exact final figure not available yet due to government shutdown)
Total - $3,307,000,000 (estimated, again exact final figures for 2013 not yet available)

More than 300 architectural firms applied for the Air Force Academy commission. By 1954, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill was one of the few American design firms that was large enough to complete a project on the scale of the Academy within a short time span. The firm represented the "modern movement" in architecture, which rejected the use of traditional building materials in favor of structural steel and glass. The resulting designs featured clean, straight lines with minimal or no decorative details. Consistent with modern architecture design principles, SOM applied a seven-foot grid or module to the entire Cadet Area. This meant that the dimensions and layout of buildings as well as landscape features were based on 7-foot increments.
Questions for Photo 1
1. Using the key from Drawing 1, identify as many parts of the Cadet Area as you can in the photo.
2. Which building shown on Drawing 1 does not appear in Photo 1? Why? How did the new building impact the layout of the campus?
3. How would you describe the campus? How would you describe the surroundings?
4. What do you think would be the advantages and disadvantages to designing buildings and spaces using a rigid grid system?

KABUL, Afghanistan - KABUL, Afghanistan - The U.S. military is confirming the death of an American service member in eastern Afghanistan, bringing the number of American troops dead in Afghanistan in the long-running conflict to 2,000.
The international coalition in Afghanistan said earlier Sunday that one of its service members was killed in a suspected insider attack by Afghan forces on Saturday. A U.S. official said that the dead service member was American. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the nationality of the dead had not yet been formally announced.
The number of American dead reflects an Associated Press count of those members of the armed services killed inside Afghanistan since the U.S.-led invasion on Oct. 7, 2001.

The Oakland Press (http://www.theoaklandpress.com)
Thursday, June 5, 2014
Police arrested a man they said caused the Thursday morning lockdown of Sheiko Elementary School in West Bloomfield after an early-morning assault.
Around 6:30 a.m., school leaders ordered the lockdown of Sheiko after the suspect allegedly attacked his ex-girlfriend — a school custodian — inside the school on Walnut Lake Road.
Staff directed arriving students to nearby West Bloomfield High School where they waited until about 9:30 a.m., when the school's lockdown ended. Officers captured the man an hour after children arrived to school.
Plain clothes officers spotted the man on the west side of the school's property, West Bloomfield Police Chief Michael Patton said.
"We found out a car that was circling the parking lot was (driven by) a person he had called to pick him up," said Patton. "Officers confronted him and took him into custody without incident."
Officers also watched nearby Prince of Peace Church, which was holding a Thursday morning Mass while the situation unfolded.
The woman had minor injuries and left with the help of co-worker.
"We thought it would be right to lock down the school," West Bloomfield School District Superintendent Gerald D. Hill said.
Children and teachers returned to the school at around 9:30 a.m.
Patton said the man, who had traffic warrants for his arrest, had no weapon.
The suspect, who is not from the West Bloomfield area, could be charged within the day, the chief said.
"It depends on what type of assault, and his history, but prosecutors will consider charges after we speak to the victim one more time and the suspect," said Patton. "I'm sure they'll consider everything."

Mount Union Senior Spends Summer Down South
April 27, 2010
Jeremy Miller, a senior media studies major from Toronto, Ohio, spent his summer working with Country Music Television in Nashville, Tennessee.
The internship started on May 20 and Miller's southern summer ended on July 27. During that time, Miller worked as an intern in the production, music and events department. 'Specifically, I worked a lot with the team that shoots the Studio 330 Sessions for CMT Loaded, on the CMT website and other performances by musicians,' said Miller.
Miller searched CMT's website and found that they had an internship program. Not expecting to get it, he applied for the position. But, in the end he received what he applied for. 'I have always loved music, including country, and I have become very interested in working with video and entertainment,' said Miller. 'I wanted to find something that had all of that ' and I did.'
Miller enjoyed working for CMT and was very comfortable with the work environment. CMT is a very casual, laid back place, with no real dress code and easygoing people to work with. 'I think this is great because it makes you very comfortable and when you feel comfortable and relaxed, you are going to work better.' He said. 'I actually looked forward to getting up every day and going to work.'
Miller credits Mark Bergmann with helping him through his career at Mount Union, and with the internship. 'He has pretty much taught me everything I know about working with video and audio,' he said. 'He really gave me a lot of help on the application process.'
The internship will open doors to Miller's future. He has had the experience to work with people who have allowed him the chance to receive valuable hands-on experience. Miller has been able to film and have an active role in daily tasks. He has also learned a lot about the technical end of production.
'The knowledge I have gained is priceless,' said Miller. 'I have learned from some of the best in the business - true professionals. I have learned not only the 'technical' side, such as working with cameras and video editing, but I have also learned a lot on the managerial side of production.
'This internship has also allowed me to make a lot of great contacts in the business. It gives me a great look into just what it is like to work in the business, which is exactly what I want to do when I graduate.'

Jurrah 'celebrated' machete attack, court toldBy Gail Liston
Former AFL star Liam Jurrah "celebrated" after attacking his cousin, a witness has told the Northern Territory Supreme Court.
Essau Marshall told the court he was involved in the fighting that took place between rival families in a town camp in Alice Springs last March.
He said he ran away but turned around and saw Liam Jurrah "smashing" Basil Jurrah with a machete.
Mr Marshall said after each blow "he was celebrating, saying BJ, BJ, BJ".
During cross-examination, defence lawyer Jon Tippet said Mr Marshall had told police on the night of the fighting that he did not know what Jurrah had done.
Mr Marshall replied: "I saw what I saw."
Jurrah has pleaded not guilty to unlawfully causing serious harm to his cousin.
The trial was adjourned early on Friday afternoon after the failure of video equipment at the court.
Members of the jury were being shown Jurrah's record of interview with police, but it was stopped after several minutes because of poor quality sound.
The trial will resume on Monday.

Michael Jordan - How Quickly They Forget (MJ vs Lebron) (thanks Ant) is a trailer someone needs to show to Scottie Pippen, who, of course, inspired its creation with his recent ill-conceived remarks.

- Waste Management Phoenix Open, Round Two
Bradley responds to Mickelson challenge
Waste Management Phoenix Open leaderboard
Former US PGA champion Keegan Bradley moved firmly into contention at the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Friday, thanks to a stellar second round of 63.
While not quite the equal of the first round 60 compiled by Phil Mickelson - who began his second round later on Friday - Bradley's effort around TPC Scottsdale nevertheless leapfrogged him to the top of the clubhouse leaderboard at 12-under par, thanks primarily to an eagle at the par-five 15th.
Alongside that impressive three, the American had seven birdies in his round - with a bogey at the second his only real mistake in a consistent display.
Nevertheless, Bradley ultimately finished the day six shots adrift of leader Mickelson - who missed out on setting a PGA Tour record for the lowest 36-hole tournament score after compiling a double-bogey at his final hole.
Nevertheless, the left-hander sat pretty at 18-under, five clear of nearest challenger Bill Haas - and was looking at the positives after difficult finishes to both of his opening rounds.
"You always remember kind of the last hole, the last putt," Mickelson said. "But I think it's very possible that's going to help me because it's got me refocused, that I cannot ease up on a single shot.
"I've got to be really focused. These guys are going to make a lot of birdies and I've got to get after it and cannot make those kinds of mistakes."
Bradley, meanwhile, finished the day level with Brandt Snedeker and one shot ahead of another former major winner, Angel Cabrera, after the Argentinian followed up Thursday's round of 66 with an even better effort of 65.
Elsewhere, Robert Garrigus and Ryan Moore both sit 10-under - while reigning Masters champion Bubba Watson is well placed at eight-under following a second successive round of 67.
Contending was a thrill for Garrigus - who was in the crowd at the famous par-three 16th 'stadium hole' when Tiger Woods made his hole-in-one back in 1997.
"It was unbelievable," Garrigus said, reflecting on that moment. "I told Tiger about that. He's like, 'Oh, you were there for that, huh?' I'm like, 'Yeah, the freaking windows in the clubhouse were shaking'. They could feel the roar from the clubhouse."
He added: "That was pretty cool. That made me - if I didn't want to be a professional golfer right there, I wasn't going to be one."
Padraig Harrington, meanwhile, is eight-under following a sketchy back nine that saw him forced to settle for a second round of 70.

Womens Basketball Drops High-Scoring Affair To VCU
Related Links
GREENSBORO, N.C. – VCU used an uncharacteristically high-percentage shooting performance Wednesday afternoon to post a 95-72 non-conference victory over the UNCG women's basketball team at Fleming Gymnasium.
The Rams (5-1) knocked down 38 field goals on 63 attempts – including 10 three-point field goals – to end up at 60.3 percent from the field. VCU entered the contest shooting just 39 percent. The visitors also eclipsed their average from beyond the arc, shooting 58.8 percent from range after making just 26 percent of their three-point attempts coming in. UNCG (3-3) shot 55.6 percent from the field in the second half and ended up at 41 percent for the game (24-of-59).
Thanks to 16 offensive rebounds, the Spartans won the battle on the glass by a 33-32 margin. UNCG limited VCU to 10 offensive boards – seven under its season average. The teams combined for 41 turnovers while the Rams posted more assists (16-13) and steals (9-5). The Blue and Gold went to the line 27 times and hit 21 of the attempts while holding VCU to just 12 trips to the foul line where it was good on nine of the shots.
Senior forward Janae' Stevenson (Columbia, S.C./Eau Claire) tallied the only double-double of any player on the floor with 21 points and 14 rebounds – her fourth-straight double-double. The reigning Southern Conference Player of the Week was as good as advertised, going 7-for-9 at the charity stripe while pulling down seven offensive rebounds. Freshman forward Jade Scaife (Ft. Washington, Md./Archbishop Spalding) picked up the first double-figure scoring effort of her young career, netting 12 points, while sophomore guard Lucy Mason (Stone Mountain, Ga./Chamblee Charter) added 10 points and went 5-for-5 from the foul line.
Taking the team season lead in assists was freshman guard Bailey Williams (Harrisonburg, Va./Spotswood) who dropped seven dimes in the contest. She now has 21 helpers in six contests for an average of 3.5 per game.
VCU rung up a 9-0 lead to start the game and would not relinquish the lead for the remainder of the afternoon. Junior guard Jarae Savage (Marietta, Ga./North Cobb) and Stevenson scored consecutive layups to make the score 9-4 at the 16:10 mark but a jumper by Zakia Williams put the score at 11-4 entering the first official timeout. The Rams quickly pushed their advantage into double figures and pushed the lead all the way to 27 points at 41-14 on a Keira Robinson jumper with 5:56 remaining in the half. Freshman guard Shanese Harris (Chesapeake, Va./Western Branch) would knock down a free throw with 19 seconds left in the period as the score settled at 50-26 heading into halftime.
Stevenson paced UNCG with eight points and eight rebounds in the first 20 minutes while Isis Thorpe led VCU with 15 points and four boards. The Rams hit 57 percent from the field (20-of-35) – including a 7-of-10 performance from three-point range. The Spartans shot just 28 percent from the field (9-of-32) and were 2-of-9 from deep.
UNCG fought back at the beginning of the second half, scoring seven of the first 10 points of the stanza to pull within 53-33 at the 17:57 mark. A layup by Stevenson brought the Blue and Gold even closer with 12:22 remaining as the Spartans sliced the deficit to 17 points. After VCU extended the lead back to 21 at 70-49, Mason completed a three-point play and Stevenson dropped in a layup to make the score 70-54 with 9:25 on the clock.
That would be as close as UNCG would come the rest of the way, however, as the Rams out-scored the Spartans 25-18 the rest of the way to account for the final margin.
UNCG returns to action Sunday, Dec. 1, in the third game of a seven-contest homestand hosting Triad rival High Point. Tipoff from Fleming Gymnasium is slated for 2 p.m.

As a general rule, achievements are more oriented toward raw effort than deep pockets, and that's one of the things that's nice about them for newer players. However, some achievements are all about your ability to fling giant wads of cash around, like monkeys at a zoo flinging...things that are usually not money. If you're sitting on an overly fat wallet and ever thought to yourself, "You know, I'd really like to experience being a poverty-stricken (class) begging for gold on a mailbox somewhere," say no more. Buy your way to the following achievements, and we'll have you /dancing on that mailbox in no time.
For the purpose of our discussion today, I'm classifying anything that costs 1,000 gold or up as a reasonably expensive purchase. While there are other achievements that will probably cost you a great deal of gold to get (Working Day and Night comes to mind if you've power-leveled professions like Jewelcrafting or Inscription), how much you spend on them is usually subject to how quickly you want to do them. By contrast, the achievements below are entirely dependent on your ability to amass a huge pile of gold and then use forklifts to distribute it to NPCs in return for achievement points.
And if you want all of them? The sum total of the 6 achievements below will probably run you somewhere in the region of 48,000 to 62,000 gold.

Buy your way to the following achievements, and we'll have you /dancing on that mailbox in no time.
Grand Ice Mammoth
At exalted, the Sons of Hodir will sell you a three-person mammoth that is apparently really expensive because it comes in an attractive white hue. Well, that, and it's also the only three-person mount that isn't a drop (like the Grand Black War Mammoth so beloved by ninjas) or an even more absurdly expensive purchase (the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth, see below). Mammoth mounts on their own needn't be overly expensive (e.g. Black War Mammoth) if you really want an annoyingly large mount with which to block doorways and clog the Dalaran fountain. But passenger seats? They're gonna cost you.
Damage: 8,000 gold at exalted with Sons of Hodir.
Dual Talent Specialization
These days, dual-spec is widely considered a must-have addition to gameplay if your main character's a hybrid, does any amount of PvP, or just has good reason to switch specs in PvE a lot. If this describes you, then the up-front cost for buying dual-spec will almost certainly pay for itself before too long, but it's still a decent amount of money to drop for the feature.
Damage: 1,000 gold.
Cenarion War Hippogryph
For this baby, you'll need to be exalted with the Cenarion Expedition in Zangarmarsh in addition to a decent chunk of cash, but in return you'll get the first of what are now three hippogryph mounts available to players (two, sadly, if you're Horde). I am utterly in love with their animations (particularly because they can now land, run, walk, and have a cool /mountspecial that...looks familiar!) but am dearly hoping that Blizzard updates their graphics. Thanks to our reader Jon Do for pointing out this one in the comments.
Damage: 1,600 gold.
Get to the Choppa!
It has to be said that getting a Mekgineer's Chopper (Alliance) or Mechano-hog (Horde) is theoretically free if you find a very generous Engineer, but the odds of this happening are slightly less likely than your correspondence with a dying Nigerian prince via email resulting in a million-dollar wire transfer. Some of the materials for the mount (namely, the Salvaged Iron Golem Parts, the Goblin-machined Piston, and the Elementium-plated Exhaust Pipe) can only be obtained for a very high fixed price from a goblin NPC in K3, or else "skinned" off mechanical mobs in Ulduar by Engineers.
Damage: This will vary by server and whether or not you've got an Engineering toon with easy access to Ulduar, but you should realistically expect to shell out between 13,000 to 15,000 gold on average.
Ring of the Kirin Tor
The good citizens of Dalaran have become adept at soaking players for massive quantities of gold and badges, and the NPCs in the jewelry shop are no exception. The four versions of the Kirin Tor rings are actually decent options for their various i-levels (200, 213, 226, and 251), and the latest incarnations are a match for the gear you can get from ICC-10. They also come with an oft-useful teleport to Dalaran on a 30-minute cooldown, although that's obviously much more useful for some classes than others.
Damage: Assuming you're exalted with the Kirin Tor (and you should be before you purchase a ring), 6,800 gold.
My Sack is "Gigantique"
Interesting name, eh. The Gigantique Bag sold by Haris Pilton in Shattrath's Lower City will run you a cool 1,200 gold, but unlike most of the game's larger bags, bears the distinction of being BoE and not unique-equip. With a nice pool of gold you can equip yourself and your alts in a full kit of 22-slot bags (unless you choose to go for Pilton's newest bag, the Portable Hole, which affords you 2 more slots per bag but no achievement). Thanks to our reader Rob for reminding me about this one!
Damage: 1,200 gold.
The Right Stuff
The fabled Artisan riding skill, otherwise known as epic flight, is one of the game's greatest time-savers -- but it won't come cheap. The cost of epic flight has been the target of many, many player complaints since its introduction, but Blizzard is unlikely to budge. For many people, the problem with Artisan riding is that it's not a one-time deal; getting epic flight on multiple alts is a tall order for the average player. Still, for any toon on whom you plan to put in a lot of time questing or gathering, the answer to "Is epic flight worth it?" is an emphatic yes.
Damage: The base cost is 5,000 gold, but this is now subject to your character's reputation with either Stormwind/Alliance Vanguard (Alliance) or Orgrimmar/Warsong Offensive (Horde). Assuming your character is exalted, you can (and should) knock the price down to 4,000 gold.
Traveler's Tundra Mammoth
For hardcore farmers and dungeon-runners everywhere, the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth -- equipped with two vendors, one of whom can also repair your gear, and both of whom you can eject from the mount in a rather entertaining fashion while the mount is in motion -- is a huge convenience. Otherwise, whether or not you'll think it's worth it depends a lot on what you do within the game. I've found it useful as both a quick repair option in raids where it's possible to mount, and -- while farming older dungeons and raids for reputation and drops -- as a significantly faster means of emptying my packs without having to run to the nearest town. Assuming that Blizzard continues to update its vendors in future expansions to accommodate higher-level food, drinks, reagents, and ammunition, consider the mammoth a very large investment that will slowly but surely pay for itself.
Damage: As with the rings, you should plan on being exalted with the Kirin Tor before purchasing this baby, and it'll run you 16,000 gold.

Manchester United went goal crazy as they extended their lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League to four points and pushed woeful 10-man Wolves into bottom spot at Molineux.
Jonny Evans' first United goal broke the deadlock and then Wolves had defender Ronald Zubar sent off before Antonio Valencia and Danny Welbeck also struck before half-time.
Then Javier Hernandez's brace completed United's nap hand. It was a fifth successive league win for Sir Alex Ferguson's side.

MONTICELLO — Sullivan County Legislature approved the filling of more than 50 vacant positions on Thursday, including 14 for an undermanned and overwhelmed Department of Family Services.
MONTICELLO — Sullivan County Legislature approved the filling of more than 50 vacant positions on Thursday, including 14 for an undermanned and overwhelmed Department of Family Services.
The approval came as all nine legislators met in an Executive Committee session whose main purpose was to review requests to fill year-round positions in the Division of Family Services and seasonal positions in the Department of Public Works.
The guest of honor was Division of Family Services Commissioner Randy Parker, who had joined Deputy Commissioner David Sager in pressing legislators to fill vacancies already budgeted for in 2013.
In particular they have highlighted the difficulties at the Department of Family Services. Workers there are confronting a soaring number of caseloads for temporary assistance, food stamps and other programs.
"We believe that we budgeted in good faith," said Parker, whose 2013 budget included an estimated $1.3 million in savings for the county's share of social service programs.
"We provided a budget believing that these positions would be filled."
Legislators agreed to fill Family Services positions ranging from a courier/driver and account clerks to social-welfare examiners and caseworkers.
Roughly 2,221 Sullivan residents, including nearly 1,300 children, were receiving temporary assistance in November 2012, according to the most recent figures available from the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance. Caseloads totaled 1,399 in November 2007.
The increase is even greater for the food stamps program. About 13,471 Sullivan residents received benefits last November, compared with 6,697 in November 2007.
"When people come into DFS they sometimes come in with everything they own," Parker said. "These are folks that, without DFS in those situations, they may die."
Legislators also approved a request to fill 10 vacant positions, including nurses and account clerks, in Public Health Services and four positions, including two addiction services counselors, in the Department of Community Services.
"I would gander that there are some revenues that remain uncollected because we don't have the staff to do it," said Community Services Director Joe Todora.

|USDA, FDA Working to Provide Aid for Farmers with Flood-damaged Crops
|Agencies Want Farmers to Know Flood-Damaged Crops Should Not Enter Food Supply
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 2011–The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today that assistance will be available to farmers whose crops were damaged by severe flooding from Tropical Storms Irene and Lee. USDA and FDA are working closely together to ensure that farmers with flood-damaged crops that cannot be marketed are compensated for their losses.
FDA considers ready-to-eat crops whose edible portion has been in contact with flood waters to be adulterated due to potential exposure to sewage, animal waste, heavy metals, pathogenic microorganisms, or other contaminants. Therefore, these crops should not enter the food or animal feed supply. Crops insured by federal crop insurance or by the Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) are covered when floodwaters have rendered them valueless.
"We are working closely with FDA to protect people and livestock from damaged crops, while not penalizing the farmer whose crops are affected," said Michael Scuse, Acting Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services. "I want to assure insured farmers that they are covered under the federal crop insurance program for crops not harvested due to flood damage. America's farmers and rural communities are vitally important to our nation's economy, producing the food, feed, fiber and fuel that continue to help us grow and out-compete the rest of the world."
"We empathize with the farmers who are dealing with the loss of crops due to recent flooding," said FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods Michael R. Taylor. "We all share the goal of protecting the food supply. We are working directly with USDA on damage response and will consult with them on assistance for farmers following our guidance to keep damaged crops out of the food supply."
Additionally, disposition of crops in proximity to, or exposed to a lesser degree of flooding, where the edible portion of the crop has not come in contact with flood waters, may need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FDA experts are available for these through local FDA district offices.
USDA encourages all farmers and ranchers to contact their crop insurance companies and local USDA Farm Service Agency Service Centers, as applicable, to report damages to crops or livestock loss. More information about federal crop insurance may be found at www.rma.usda.gov. Additional resources to help farmers and ranchers deal with flooding may be found at http://www.usda.gov/disaster.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender. To file a complaint of discrimination, write: USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call (800) 795-3272(voice), or (202) 720-6382 (TDD).

Help me prove a point to shut up a blowhard who thinks he knows it all. He say's; Once the overheating problem has been corrected, you can substute a damaged "snap-disc," style Hi-Limit (Like Carrier and Luxaire use) w/a 3" Camstat.
I've told him he's wrong. You should never substitute a limit. The best ammo I have to prove my point is from the
RUUD Installation Instruction book for their Two-Stage Gas Furnaces(-)GRK SERIES: page 10:OVERTEMPERATURE SAFETY SWITCHES. Furnaces are equipped with safety switches in the control compartment to protect against overtemperature conditions caused by inadequate combustion air supply. If a switch is tripped it must be manuslly reset.
(Sounds like they're refering to a "spill," or "rollout," switch.)
WARNING: DO NOT JUMPER THESE DEVICES! IF ONE OF THESE SWITCHES SHOULD TRIP, A QUALIFIED INSTALLER, SERVICE AGENCY OR THE GAS SUPPLIER MUST BE CALLED TO CHECK AND/OR CORRECT FOR ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY. BLA....BLA...BLA... REPLACE THESE SWITCHES ONLY WITH THE IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PART. That's the best I can come up with so far. I do Recall that Carrier does specifically mention not to substitute Hi-Limits. I'm looking for manufacture printed material forbiding the use of substitute parts. HELP!

I'm keeping Russell Martin in my 10 team keeper league. I justed pulled the first pick in my draft. Without getting in to alot of detail I plan on taking ARod with my first pick, but when my 2nd/3rd round pick comes around I'm thinking of drafting Victor Martinez.
Why?? I project he would be the highest rated player that will come to me and he is 1st base eligble. I think it will come down to Markakis, Ordonez and Bedard in the 2/3 spot. I think I will get decent production out of him and keep Victor away from any other owner.
What do you guys think??

Farmington Hills, Mich. - The Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) has announced the schedule for the 2013 CCHA Championship Weekend, March 22-24, 2013 in Detroit, Mich.
For the CCHA's "Celebrate the Legacy" final season, four teams will travel to Detroit's Joe Louis Arena in hopes of capturing the 42nd CCHA Championship that also includes an automatic berth in the NCAA Championship Tournament.
The CCHA semifinals will take place at 1:05 p.m. and 4:35 p.m. on Saturday, March 23. The championship game will be played at 2:05 p.m. on Sunday, March 24. Permission to hold the championship on Sunday, on a one-time only basis, was granted by the NCAA Division I Ice Hockey Committee. There will be no third-place game this season.
"Joe Louis Arena was unavailable for college hockey on Friday, March 22. We looked at the options and a Saturday-Sunday format is the best one," said CCHA Commissioner Fred Pletsch.
"Both the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Committee and ESPN have been very accommodating in assisting us in finalizing our championship schedule. We look forward to an outstanding Championship Weekend."
The 2013 CCHA Championship marks the 32nd anniversary of the event being held at Joe Louis Arena. The first championship held at The Joe was in 1982 with Michigan State defeating Notre Dame, 4-1.
As part of the CCHA Championship Weekend, the league will also host its annual awards show at historic Fox Theater in downtown Detroit on Friday, March 22. The CCHA Awards, renowned as the `Oscars of College Hockey', celebrate the annual all-conference, scholar-athlete and all-rookie teams, along with individual honors, including the Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Perani Cup winners and the Mike and Marian Ilitch Humanitarian Award.
2013 CCHA Championship Weekend Schedule of Events
Friday, March 22 - CCHA Awards at the Fox Theatre
Saturday, March 23 - CCHA Championship semifinals at 1:05 p.m. and 4:35 p.m. at Joe Louis Arena

Have you ever heard a song and thought it was a different one?
Have you ever heard a song and thought it was a different one? Or maybe you've been able to detect a similarity between a pair of songs. That happens to me from time to time, but I usually just blame it on the fact that I'm a huge music lover.
The most recent time I can remember that happening was with Beyonce's "Halo" and Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone." The two were so close in their arrangements you could have transferred the words from one to the other and had the same song. Both were hits at the same time, and both songs also were written by Ryan Tedder, explaining the similarity.
Then the other day I heard Katy Perry's new single "Roar" and right away I thought it was Sara Bareilles' new song"Brave."
I love both songs, but "Brave" came out in April and "Roar" just dropped.
Bareilles is one of those singers who doesn't get the credit she deserves. I've been a fan since she hit it big with "Love Song" in 2007. Remember her now? Yes, she's the girl who sang, "I'm not gonna write you a love song because you asked for it."
Bareilles grabs my attention by sort of coloring outside the lines, musically speaking. For me — that's a good thing. It's also a great way to stand out from the crowd, but Bareilles still hasn't broken through the commercial barrier where other artists thrive.
I've been busy enjoying Bareille's latest album, "The Blessed Unrest," which features the hit "Brave," when "Roar" enters the picture. The first thing I thought of when Perry's new song played on Sirius Hits One was "Brave." Honestly, the two songs start almost the same way. Even voices sound the same.
I immediately felt an empowerment from "Roar" much the way I did when I heard "Brave." Strangely, both pack a powerful punch. They're uplifting with a great message, something definitely needed in music right now.
I had to see for myself who wrote what. "Brave" was co-written by fun.'s Jack Antonoff and "Roar" was co-penned by Dr. Luke, thus dispelling the Ryan Tedder problem with "Halo" and "Already Gone" in 2009.
There's not a link to the songs' origins, but I'm not alone in my thinking. There's somewhat of a rivalry being created between Bareilles and Perry and fans of both songs. Let me say, it's helping at least one of the tracks.
"Brave" had managed to peak at No. 66 on the Hot 100 in the spring before it began its decent. However, since "Roar" roared onto the charts jumping from No. 85 to No. 2, "Brave" has rebounded and is now poised to enter the Top 40.
This shows how shallow we can be. Perry has more clout, which led to her song having more of a splash than Bareilles, but because of the similarities between songs, they're both doing well. You can bet that if Perry sang "Brave" and Bareilles sang "Roar," "Brave" would be at No. 2 and "Roar" at No. 41.

SAVANNAH, Ga. - The No. 2 Georgia College & State University golf squad fired a team score of 295 in the third round today (Oct. 20) to finish at sixth place with a total of 877 at the Mizuno Savannah Intercollegiate. The Georgia College squad placed first among Division II schools and beat Peach Belt Conference (PBC) opponent Armstrong Atlantic State University by 14 strokes.
Junior Joe Young (Cochran, Ga.) finished fourth overall with 212 (-4) firing a plus-two 74 today on the 7,016-yard Savannah Quarters Country Club course designed by Greg Norman. The All-American is averaging 71.1 strokes a round this season, adding two top-five finishes and four top-10 finishes in five matches this year.
Niclas Johansson (Skanor, Sweden) placed tied for 36th after a third-round plus-two 74. The senior shot 224 over the three rounds. The three-time All-American has averaged 72.7 strokes per 18 holes this fall for the Bobcats.
Senior Francisco Bide (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and junior Billy Shida (Berkeley Lakes, Ga.) both finished tied at 44th with total scores of 225. Bide shot plus-seven 79 in today's final round while Shida was plus-two. Bide has averaged 72.6 strokes and Shida 73.3 for the Georgia College team with both competing in all five matches this fall season.
The lowest Bobcat round came from rookie Bernardo Bide (Buenos Aires, Argentina) who shot a plus-one 73 to finish at 226 (T48). The younger Bide competed in two tournaments for Georgia College this fall and averaged 76.5 strokes per 18 holes.
Division I East Carolina University took the team title at a 12-under 852, bettering the field by 19 strokes. The Pirates' David Watkins took individual honors at 11-under. He topped host Georgia Southern University's Ryan Zabroske and Furman University's Daniel Bowden by six. GCSU's Young was one stroke behind that duo.
The Bobcat golf team had a successful fall season finishing in the top-10 in all five matches.
