78 Brat: note of thanks to Biffanyus
Posted 16 December 2005 - 09:19 PM
Little over a hundred and twenty five mile drive to the storage facility from his place.
She drove like a dream, even though we had white out snow in some places, sunshine in others.
Before we left, I put a new T stat in her and used a stick to hold open the choke as the element is bad or....
Tommy is one kewl dude, a pleasure to deal with, and I sure hope he stays connected
with our community after he moves back to Fla.
Just have to say thanks and props to such a great guy and a nice Brat that has seen it's last snow fall
for as long as I own it - which will be a long time.
Thanks again mate, happy holly daze
and good luck with the move.

I have already committed to getting the 78 squirted professionally.
She will take her place as one of my pride and joys
in my pride of Brats.(5 1/2 and counting)
She even has a tow hitch for towing the Brat gokart (1/2) on it's trailer.
Wish they could be the same color but I can't bring myself to change either
from their factory colors.
Happy Holly Daze to all

Is that the same Brat go-kart that was advertised on the postcard "Win a Brat You Lucky Devil??
Posted 18 December 2005 - 01:22 AM
and I agree with Skip about Biffanyus all the engine parts that I had sent him he has been professional and straight forward with me as I have been with him and Skip you now posses something that I have even handled I think lol (either cam and followers and/or pistons)
Posted 18 December 2005 - 05:59 AM
a couple years ago.
Still all original (including decals) but the engine is a bit tired.
I just bought a brand new Subaru (Robins) 8.5 HP OHV lump for it.
Hopefully see it and the Tommy Brat at Calisle this year.
It would be my esteemed pleasure to give you a ride in either.
Jason, I did get some engine parts but the parts you speak of (cam followers) probably went to
Shane. He bought Tommy's 82 with the EA82 in it.
Posted 18 December 2005 - 03:52 PM
all said engine parts are for a EA-71 so might be in the motor as we speak lol
Mary, Haven't seen that particular postcard. I fished this unit out of the Bay of E(vil)
a couple years ago.
Still all original (including decals) but the engine is a bit tired.

"cam and followers"
Now you either mean "lifters" or
you and Tommy have developed a
new style OHC EA71? ;^)
and yes there are extra cams and lifter assemblies
in the parts stash
but only one piston?
The engine runs real sweet.......
now that
the choke is held open with
a bit of a locust tree
- there is a carb and manifold
in the stash - hoping the choke element is good
Need to do some trouble shootin'
to see why the auto choke
is not opening -
and please, I will not
convert to a manual choke.
A Weber DGAV maybe ?
Does anybody know where the "Y" pipe
develops cracks?
(still has the heat shields
so I can't see where the break is).
Once again I thank yins for all the input
Happy Holly Daze
Posted 23 December 2005 - 08:32 AM
and don't ask me about the single piston cause I sent 4 of them over

For the third-straight season, the Tennessee women's basketball program is being represented by a pair of signees competing in the McDonald's All-American Game.
Alexa Middleton of Murfreesboro, Tenn., will wear No. 23 for the East, and Jaime Nared of Portland, Ore., will don No. 30 for the West, as the 13th-annual girls game is contested Wednesday night at the home of the Chicago Bulls, the United Center. Tip is 7 p.m. Eastern/6 Central on ESPNU.
Current UT freshmen Mercedes Russell and Jordan Reynolds played for the victorious West squad in 2013, with Russell collecting the game's MVP honors. The addition of Middleton and Nared to the Big Orange roster next season will give head coach Holly Warlick seven McDonald's All-Americans in a 13-player lineup that also includes 6-1 wing signee Kortney Dunbar of Edwardsville, Ill. (Edwardsville H.S.), a MAAG nominee from her state.
Middleton, a 5-foot-9 guard from Riverdale High School, already turned heads in Chicago on Monday night, becoming the first player in the history of the event to win both the three-point shootout and the skills competition.
In the skills competition, Middleton successfully made every pass and the jump shot on her first attempt to finish the course in 27.9 seconds. She won by 4.3 seconds over Duke signee Sierra Calhoun.
The TSSAA Class AAA Miss Basketball winner and nation's No. 28 player according to espnW HoopGurlz, Middleton then won the three-point shooting competition over UCLA signee Recee' Caldwell and Texas signee Brooke McCarty. Middleton drained nine treys in a row at one point during the shootout.
Besides the four players previously mentioned as McDonald's All-Americans, Cierra Burdick, Bashaara Graves and Ariel Massengale are veterans of the game. Tennessee's departing senior, Meighan Simmons, also played in the contest prior to coming to Rocky Top.
Including the newest participants, Tennessee has had 25 all-time McDonald's All-Americans.

WANdisco Awarded U.S. Patent for Core Active-Active Data Replication Technology
By: Marketwired .
Nov. 7, 2012 02:00 AM
SHEFFIELD, UNITED KINGDOM and SAN RAMON, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/07/12 -- WANdisco (LSE: WAND), a leading provider of global collaboration software to the software development industry, announces that, after a thorough examination process, the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) has allowed the Company's U.S. Patent Application, which will protect the Company's core replication technology. The patent application was allowed on November 6, 2012.
The allowed patent application, entitled "Distributed computing systems and system components thereof" covers fundamentals of active-active replication over a Wide Area Network ("WAN"). The patent states that "unlike conventional solutions, the multi-site computing system architecture does not rely on a central transaction coordinator that is known to be a single-point-of-failure." The patented technology is incorporated in WANdisco's product range, including Subversion MultiSite, which is used by leading companies such as HP, Intel, Barclays, McAfee, Honda and Wal-Mart for globally distributed software development.
The directors believe that this technology can be deployed in many other technology verticals including the Big Data market, which according to Wikibon is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 58% between now and 2017 or from $5 billion to over $50 billion.
Commenting on the patent, David Richards, WANdisco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said:
"I am delighted the USPTO has allowed WANdisco's patent, which we believe to be a breakthrough in the field of data replication. This patent validates our leadership in distributed computing and our belief that no other company can achieve active-active replication over a Wide Area Network. We believe this patent is far reaching and will change storage area networks and their application. Presently, we have integrated this technology into our version control systems for software engineers and have plans, as previously stated, to apply the technology in the Big Data market - today's patent decision re-confirms our belief, as the leader in this field."

Each week Arcane Brilliance drops at a 100% rate from your computer screen. It can be equipped in any slot, and doesn't bind to your character in any way, shape or form. It can be disenchanted into whatever you want, and sells to merchants for a million gold. It is of legendary quality. When equipped, it raises all of your stats exponentially, to the power of awesome. It also has an on-use ability with no cooldown: Arcane Brilliance instantly turns any targetted Warlock into a ridable mount.
I have to begin by admitting my deep bias here. Since midway through The Burning Crusade I've been a deep Arcane Mage. I loved the Arcane tree when it was bad, and I love it now that it's good. It's entirely possible that this fact disqualifies me from even speaking rationally about this topic, but I've never let a crippling lack of impartiality stop me before.
Even those who now hate this spec and cry loudly (and as frequently as the refresh button on their internet browsers will allow) for massive and immediate nerfs will agree that there has never been a better time to be an Arcane Mage. Already quite powerful in PvP and fairly solid in PvE, patch 3.0.8 has only increased the effectiveness of this formidable spec. Playing an Arcane Mage is easy to pick up and challenging to master, and more out-and-out fun than it has any right to be. Follow me after the break and we'll discuss some of the ins and outs of this very potent school of magic.

SAN ANTONIO — Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson will make a stand at the Alamo in defense of the Second Amendment.
Patterson is the keynote speaker for an open carry demonstration at Alamo Plaza – expected to draw scores of men and women bearing long rifles – at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 19. The "Line in the Sand" rally is being organized by several groups of gun rights activists. Both the armed and the unarmed of all ages are welcome to attend.
"A right that goes unexercised is in jeopardy of being lost," Patterson said. "The Second Amendment gives citizens the power to defend every other right we have. It gives the People the right to both keep and bear arms. As more of us exercise this important right in full public view, more Americans will stand up and defend their gun rights along with the full spectrum of Constitutional liberties."
Those carrying long-barreled guns should use a sling to promote a non-alarming manner of carry. Gun etiquette will be enforced and chamber checks will be performed regularly to ensure additional safety.
WHO: Commissioner Jerry Patterson and hundreds of gun owners
WHAT: Line in the Sand at the Alamo open-carry rally
WHERE: 300 Alamo Plaza, San Antonio
WHEN: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19 (Patterson to speak after 10 a.m.)
WHY: To popularize open carry and advocate less restrictive gun laws

Freshman Amanda Lin and the rest of her Harvard teammates will begin the 2013 spring season with nine consecutive home matches (Photo courtesy: Harvard Athletic Communications).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – As the Harvard women's tennis squad prepares to close out its fall season with the Harvard Fall Invite this weekend, the team officially announced its spring schedule for 2012-13 today, which includes 15 of its 20 matches at home.
The Crimson begins the year with nine straight home contests, starting just after the holiday break. Harvard kicks off the season Jan. 20 against Cleveland State before facing William and Mary Jan. 25 and Kansas State Jan. 27.
Harvard continues its homestand against Maryland Feb. 2 before Buffalo and Massachusetts head to Cambridge Feb. 9. After a two-week break, the Crimson will compete against cross-town rivals Boston College Feb. 23 and Boston University March 1.
The Crimson entertains Binghamton March 2 before finally hitting the road and making a trip to Florida two weeks later for a pair of mid-week battles at Stetson March 19 and South Florida March 20. Harvard heads back to Cambridge to finish off the month of March with matches against Farleigh Dickinson March 23 and Syracuse March 30.
The month of April will see Harvard play all seven of its Ivy League matches for the 20th consecutive year. The Crimson starts off on the road with Friday-Saturday matches at Cornell April 5 and Columbia April 6, before heading home to face Penn April 13 and Princeton April 14. The team then travels south to Providence to face Brown April 21 before returning to the Robert M. Beren '47 Tennis Center to wrap up the regular season against Yale April 21 and Dartmouth April 27.
Harvard finished its 2011-12 campaign with an 11-7 overall record and 4-3 mark in the Ivy League. The Crimson also finished with a 7-2 record at home in 2011-12. Senior co-captains Kristin Norton and Hideko Tachibana both finished 4-3 in singles in the Ivy League in 2011-12 and are coming off solid performances in the fall season.

More than 60 million Social Security beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients can now access their benefit verification letter, payment history, and earnings record instantly using their online account.
Social Security beneficiaries also can change their address and start or change direct deposit information online.
"We are making it even easier for people to do their business with us from the comfort of their home, office or library," Commissioner Astrue said.
Social Security beneficiaries and SSI recipients with a My Social Security account can go online and get an official benefit verification letter instantly.
The benefit verification letter serves as proof of income to secure loans, mortgages and other housing, and state or local benefits.
This new online service allows people to conduct business with Social Security without having to visit an office or make a phone call, and very often wait for a letter to arrive in the mail.
People age 18 and older can sign up for an account at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.
Once there, they must be able to provide information about themselves and answers to questions that only they are likely to know.
People age 18 and older who are not receiving benefits can sign up for a My Social Security account to get a personalized online Social Security Statement.
The Record has the complete story in the front section.

With all the blah blah blah going on about CISPA, I've managed to keep my mouth shut about it for awhile, but it turns out I do have something to contribute to the dialogue (or, I think I do :) ).
I'm not going to review the language of the bill – I'm sure it's terrible. Most cyber legislation is. It can't not be. They all go too far, lack clarity of language, introduce unforeseen escalations of government rights, etc.
There's no need to go over the givens. :)
So, then, what? Well, after I finally read CISPA and the surrounding reporting, what I noticed was that very few people seem to understand that the bill didn't come out of nowhere. The language in it, the motivations behind it, the structure of the bill, etc…all of it… completely reflects the information sharing discussion that's been going on between those engaged in public/private partnership cyber security activities for years. It's not just a random congressional fart. Anyone who has been part of that discussion should recognize the bill as an old …if not friend…sparring partner.
For those who don't know, there is, in this space, an institutionalized gridlock in the debate about information sharing. CISPA clearly is an attempt to remedy this very, very specific gridlock. It's not a general cyber security bill. It's not even a general information sharing bill.. It is designed to address the perspective that the government has information it won't share, that clearances have been roadblocks, and that legal ambiguities have prevented sharing.
Now, while I happen to think that some of these are in fact roadblocks, I also know CISPA doesn't touch the heart of what the most severe and core information sharing problems are. But, unfortunately, I'm in the minority. A great number of otherwise intelligent people do believe in what it's trying to accomplish, typically terrible language notwithstanding.
Maybe no one else finds this worth noting, but I at least thought it was unusual that the structure of the existing conversation is so clearly reflected in a piece of legislation…

Awesome Stuff: Multi-Tool Time
from the tooling-around dept
For this week's awesome stuff post, we decided to look at some multi-tool offerings. There are actually a lot of multi-tool crowdfunding projects out there, with a bunch of them just being a single simple multi-tool. This post is certainly not meant to be a comprehensive listing of all, but rather to pick a few that were a little different and distinct.
- First up are the Ti2 Para-Biners, combining the concept of a multitool with a carabiner. It seriously looks indestructible and would probably be the last carabiner you'd ever need.
- Next up, we've got the Silverback 12+ function multi-tool and minimalist wallet. There are a lot of card-style multitools out there, but this one definitely has an awful lot built into a single tool plus, on top of that, the ability to double as a minimalist wallet. Of course, if you use it as a wallet, it might make it a little more annoying to make use of the tools part, since you may have to dump the contents of your wallet first.
- I already mentioned how many card-style multi-tools there are out there, but the offering from Tuls is interesting in that it's actually a set of four different mutli-tool cards, so you can have a nice set. The names of the four tools -- Roul, Stan, Lucy and Opie are all kind of amusing once you figure out the main purpose of each tool (though, the Opie tool seems almost too minimalist here, and it makes you wonder why the Stan tool can't do what the Opie tool does).
- Finally, we've got one that isn't quite as portable, but is effectively a basic toolbox in one device, called the Zeus multi-tool. Take the basic concept of a pocket knife, and expand it to larger tools -- giving you a fold out saw, pliers, knife, adjustable screwdriver with 16 different sized bits, a hammer, a measuring tape and a detachable light. The thing that surprised me, slightly, was the hammer. I can't recall seeing multi-tools that include a hammer. While they do spell out the dimensions, it would be nice to actually see it in someone's hand, as that would give a better sense of how "handy" it actually is. From the description, I wonder if it's too big, but without any images, it's a little tough to tell. Also, I've been growing wary of projects that advertise how they've received a patent. I'd much rather someone is focusing on executing and building a great product, not spending times with their lawyers and getting a weapon to sue other innovators over.

I am about to publish my site and am doing some final server testing before rolling it out. While I was in development I was constantly previewing in all browsers including IE 7 and 8 in my local browsers as I went along.
Everything was working just fine until I started testing server-side and now the CSS and jquery are not rendering properly in IE8 (even though it still works locally)
All files are being loaded and are organized in the same way locally as they are on the server (no broken links)
Any one have a clue why this is happening??
Thank you so much!

W Technologies, Inc. Kiosk-Based Mobile Rewards Program Enters Mainstream Coupon Markets Expected to Be $46 Billion by 2015
December 05, 2012 -- !-- AddToAny BEGIN -->
LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 12/05/12 -- W Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: WTCG), the Company, has experienced positive operational results from its custom, mobile loyalty kiosk design. This program is designed to compete in expanding the mobile redemption coupon sector.
In a recent report from Juniper Research, it was suggested that the mobile coupon market will be worth $46 Billion by 2015, a large jump from the $5.6 Billion projected for the industry this year. "Mobile Coupons are going mainstream," said Juniper Research analyst David Snow. "Cost effective mobile coupon campaigns are now within reach for smaller retailers providing them with easy ways to drive profitable footfall and build customer loyalty. To ignore the potential of mobile coupons would be to ignore the future of mobile commerce."
"The Juniper Research Report confirms what I have said previously, that our program could be a game changer when it comes to mobile marketing because -- unlike traditional mobile marketing -- it makes it so easy to opt-into a campaign," stated W Technologies President, Ronald Costa. "It's extremely cost-effective and doesn't require expensive hardware to maintain."
Our program is designed to benefit Small Businesses because of the minimal capital outlay. Retail Businesses can launch the kiosk on any iPad or Android tablet along with a free down-loadable kiosk app available in the App Store or Google Play Store. The end result is a fully integrated customized platform giving any business the ability to employ a mobile loyalty program and incorporate it seamlessly into their existing marketing campaigns.

This is Anoop,Project Coordinator,Tecriti Consulting.My query is regarding escrow API integration in a PHP Reverse Auction Website. I am handling a project for a Reverse Auction website where the transactions happen between business and consumers.The client wants to integrate escrow functionality.How does it work?I have the escrow.com API. Anyone any idea how much fees will escrow.com charge?Also is it necessary to couple Paypal or any other payment methods with escrow?Can we integrate a dual payment option - up to some amount (say $5000) no escrow funding and transactions greater than $5000 escrow funding?
Thanks in advance for the help.

What I would like to know from someone who has access to the all 22 is why Sanchez is holding the ball so long? He waits and waits until he's about to get blasted and makes a last second blind decision to throw it somewhere way too often. I'm a big supporter of his but that has to stop. Is it because the receivers are just covered?
The more I look at Sanchez, the more I think he is lacking the arm strength to get it done. He can make all the throws, but he is hesitant to make some because his arm is average.
Full disclosure: I didn't watch all four quarters, didn't have time so just got most of the first half and a little bit of the 2nd.
The case for the throw to Kerley is a bit more founded, but I can't say how much so. With Sanchez already having cocked the ball for a throw and stepped to the left, it could be that the deep safety is only just starting to move in that direction. Considering in the first still he is lined up in the middle of the field and in the second is running from the near hash mark with his back to the camera leads me to believe that he first cheated to his left because of the two receivers to that side. But again, I am only presuming as I don't have the full benefit of the game film. Still, it's a reasonable assumption for someone that understands football.
I appreciate the effort of the person who did the write-up, but I have to question their football acumen given what I have pointed out.
I get people in here arguing that our OFFENSIVE woes are a product of many individuals out there.
I don't get people in here arguing that Sanchez is a top level talent at QB...
No one else in the world thinks that. No one. No analyst. No fan. No scouts. No human beings on this planet - save a handful of Jets fans - think Mark Sanchez is anything more than average at best.
In all seriousness though I will probably start to break down the offense with a heavy emphasis on QB after my exam this Monday. Should have more free time on my hands after that. Massive sinus infection + huge med school exam = no time for anything let alone that. But after we beat the 49ers, I figure people will want analysis of stuff. Depending how long I end up needing for offense I will decide whether it's feasible for me to defense too lol
It's not as simple as just throwing to the open receiver. Sanchez has to go through his pre-snap reads and make a decision on which site of the field he wants to focus on before the snap. Sanchez also has to worry about the rush and also has to be able to get the throw over lineman much taller than him. It ain't Madden, you can't look in three places at once and throw across your body to the open receiver. You could break down any play like that for any QB on any team. EVERY QB misses open WR's multiple times a game.
Our team is sucking because our defense is playing like crap and we can't rush the football. Stop blaming Sanchez, it isn't as simple as that.

Well here's my new project
Parts list
Rpm a-arms
Light weight chassis
FLM hybrid bulkhead/ diff
Ss mods 3.3 crankshaft
Davis diesel connecting rod
New backing plate
New crank case
New cooling head
Proline masher tires
Geode wheels
Tmaxx body
That is all I have right now ill keep posting updates
Could you guys give me input on what else to buy or do thanks
Oh and I need a name lol thanks guys
Name: B-maxx (Bash-maxx)
Gotta have rpm towers.
"I like rc cars"....."WHAT? YOU'RE KIDDING!"
Ok guys I need help, the chassis I have is a 4909 and I need to decide what tranny I can put on it, I don't think I'll want a reverse one because they break easy but I don't know what tranny I can use with the older style drive shafts??? Or how can I make this work??
My other question is
What servos do you guy think I should use for the throttle and the steering???
I think to keep things simple you should choose a tranny with output shafts
the same diameter as your diff's output shaft (pinion gear).
I prefer the black 2.5 trannys but mating 5mm output shafts of the black tranny
up to E Maxx diffs 6mm pinion gears was a bit tricky.
Do you know if your diffs use 5 or 6mm drivecups?
Bash, Crash, Upgrade, Repeat..
What you think about this one:
And for throttle:
Maybe a Traxxas 2075 (Waterproof) or a 2070(no waterproof)
2070 (no waterproof)
2075 (Waterproof)
Just my suggestion
P.S: Looking nice

Coming along nicely buddy. I really like those blue control arms.
I have that same fuel tank on my shelf queen, those are oldies but goodies.
Bash, Crash, Upgrade, Repeat..
Have u thought about installing robinson racing steel gears in your trans? They make that already tough trans freakin nuke proof
If your using the FLM ult hybrid rear with their diff and a stock front diff then you are going to have a problem with gear ratio. The rear is an 1/8th scale diff. Not sure what the ratio's are but they are different.
Oh we'll I wasn't thinking about that, so do you think the best is just to buy another bulkhead system
ooh i got a name Max Zilla !!!!!!!
Hey I like that name lol
Well it's between bash-maxx or maxx Zillia....
You guy help pick... Oh and on FLMs website it has diff gears could any of them work with the hybrid diff???
Sorry mods link didn't work
I LOVE my hybrids. I cheated and put stock diffs in the bulks that were intended for buggy diffs and they have held up just fine. I will likely finally buy some buggy diffs once I get my brushless rig up and running though.
Formerly Wildjones before forum upgrade
Ok it gives me some thing to think about, are big bore schlock a good choice??
Ok thanks man
Nice Build, That looks really cool, but I have a question I have yet to figure out, what exactly is Bashing?
Yes I am new to Nitro Traxxas stuff actually New to the Entire RC Hobby I just got disgusted with the cheap CHEAP 4.8V rc I bought to entertain the cats always Dead or unable to run in lawn and seen a Traxxas T-Maxx on Ebay for a Rediculously ( I mean it to Rediculous) low price so I thought I would give it a shot and have not been so happy with a Purchase I have ever made on Impulse, but sadly now I am Hooked hard core and have this insane Craving that I must drive my T-Maxx daily or I get Withdrawl Issues. But back to the Thread, I am quite impressed with some of the items and am excited to hear how it turns out and especially how that carb works with the 3.3 as i will be going 3.3 as soon as I wear out my new 2.5 i installed a couple weeks ago. Got it at a Steal too.
Well bashing is not racing it's back yard fun! There's not a big definition for it but you run it hard have fun and replace or upgrade anything that breaks lol thanks guys
Well my next update will be soon
I see so what I do pretty much is Bashing, ya I ran into my 2.5 I am selling the neighbor and busted my Front Bulkhead and his (well mine still Throttle/Brake Servo) as a matter of fact the sun is out no rain so I better get out and start playing a bit
T-Maxx 3.3 :)
Ok I've never messed with big bore shocks what the differences between stock?? I'm about to get some but not sure yet
Aluminum bodies and aluminum shock caps and tinitride shock shafts
Ok thanks so I have a question about the carb settings.... So with my 11k card should put it to traxxas break-in settings to break it in????
Any one got an idea????

NEW HAVEN, Conn.-Seven different players scored for Yale as the Columbia women's lacrosse team fell 13-9 to the Bulldogs on Saturday, April 14. Junior Kacie Johnson paced the Lions with a team-high six points, including four goals and two assist. Sophomore Paige Cuscovitch joined with a hat trick, and senior Taylor Gattinella and first-year Katie Angulo each added a score. First-year goalkeeper Skylar Dabbar posted 10 saves in the net with nine coming in the second half.
Yale jumped on the board first with a goal in the first minute of play at 29:16 by Caroline Crow. Columbia responded quickly capturing their first lead of the half with two scores. A goal from Angulo at 27:40 and a score by Johnson at 26:59, put the Lions ahead 2-1. Crow scored her second of three first half goals to tie the score for the Bulldogs, but Johnson's second goal of the half at 19:43 gave Columbia a 3-2 lead.
Following a free-position goal at 18:15, the Bulldogs put together a 5-0 run behind two scores from Devon Rhodes, and Crow's third goal, to take a 7-3 lead at 5:18 in the first. A late goal by Cuscovitch would trim the deficit to 7-4 at the break.
The second half began like the first with a Yale goal from Crow in the first minute at 29:43. The Bulldogs quickly added two more goals to gain their largest lead of the game at 10-4 at 27:19 in the second half. The Lions battled back with a pair of goals with scores from Cuscovitch and Johnson, to cut the deficit to 10-6 at 25:15.
Columbia responded to another Yale goal at 17:59 by with a run of three consecutive goals. Johnson scored her fourth goal of the game at 16:45 to ignite the run. She assisted the next two goals, by Cuscovitch and Gattinella, to bring the Lions within two at 11-9 with 13:26 remaining. Yale would hold on scoring the final two goals of the half to take the game 13-9.
The Lions drop to 2-10,0-6 in Ivy League and will return to action on Wednesday, April 18 at 6 p.m. as they host New Hampshire at Robert K. Kraft Field.

The spirit was willing, but...
Anders Lindback [7] (pictured) allowed 4 goals on 44 shots for the loss. The high shot totals against have to be a concern for Guy Boucher early in the season.
First Period
Second Period
06:50 NYI Grabner (1), (Streit, Nabokov)(PP)
16:23 NYI Martin (1), (Tavares)
17:35 NYI Okposo (1), (Tavares, Moulson)
Third Period
01:31 NYI Ullstrom (1), (Aucoin, Hamonic)
02:22 TB St. Louis (3), (Stamkos, Conacher)
07:25 TB Pouliot (1), (Crombeen, Hall)
08:00 TB Stamkos (1), (Conacher, St. Louis)
Martin St. Louis [8] was the game's third star.
Need we say the obvious? You can't fall behind 4 goals in the Third Period and expect to win. 3 goals should be a death sentence in pro hockey anyways. It's worse when you don't have the conditioning to dig deep in the last 5-10 minutes of a Third Period because of a lockout. Can't do it. They showed a lot of pride to make a game of it, but can't do it.
Keith Aulie [9] was +1 with 1 hit and 1 blocked shot in 14:20.
Pierre Cedric-Labrie had a fight in 4:54. Pretty good stat line.
Cory Conacher [10] had 2 helpers and was +1 with 2 penalty minutes, and 1 shot in 16:03.

When the Bengals put left guard
Roland, the 6-9 man mountain who plays right tackle and guard and played in every game of Cincinnati's three previous playoff seasons, returned to the club after he was released following the third game of this season to make room for nickel back
The Roland signing doesn't appear to tip where the Bengals are going to play left tackle
The Bengals frequently made Roland eligible as an extra tackle, particularly early in his tenure. Now with No. 74 back, he may not be active with fifth-round pick
The Bengals have high regard for Collins's athleticism in pass protection and it would be needed against Colts outside linebacker Robert Mathis, a Pro Bowler having a Defensive Player of the Year season. Mathis, who routinely switches it up over both tackles to rush, has 15.5 sacks and five forced fumbles. He already has the NFL record for career forced fumbles off sacks with 41 and one more sack gives him the team record Dwight Freeney set nine years ago.
Collins started last Sunday in place of right tackle
The biggest impact on the decision may be if indeed right guard
ANIMATED BATTLE: Marvin Lewis is a cartoon character and that's a good thing.
The Bengals head coach battles Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin next week in another AFC North scrum, but he'll co-star with him in the next episode of the animated series NFL RUSH ZONE: Guardians Unleashed.
Lewis and Tomlin make cameo animated appearances in the show that airs Wednesday night at 8:30 on Nicktoons with a number of encores throughout the week. It is also going to be on NFL Network on Saturday at 8 a.m.
Episode 303 of the third season features the Guardians teaming up with Lewis to battle evil villains Sudden Death & the Anticorians. The Guardians' new friend Jackson, the stepson of their coach, helps the Canton Bulldogs prepare for their big game against the Mini-Steelers. Ish still struggles with not being a full Guardian, but Lewis and Tomlin remind him that being on the sidelines is not the same as being sidelined.
PLAY 60: Four Bengals, Who Dey, and a group of cheerleaders rallied at the Heritage Elementary School in Liberty Township on Tuesday to celebrate the Bengals grant of $10,000 to the school as part of the NFL Play 60 Super School Contest.
Running backs
The NFL PLAY 60 Super School contest selected one school in each of the 32 NFL markets and two non-NFL markets in pushing the concept of children getting 60 minutes of exercise a day. Winning schools received a $10,000 NFL PLAY 60 grant for health and wellness programming or equipment and a visit from NFL players. In addition to the grant, the NFL donated all fitness equipment used during the physical education class for students to use in the future.
To celebrate the start of the NFL season through the Back to Football campaign, schools were encouraged to participate in the NFL PLAY 60 Super School contest and submit three essays explaining how they planned to show their NFL team pride and incorporate football into their lesson plans. Schools were also asked to demonstrate their commitment to youth health and wellness by submitting essays on their school's game plan for teaching students the importance of physical education and nutrition.

Destroying the Color Line: John Hope Franklin and President Bill Clinton
Watch video on your iPhone or iPad
Viewing videos on NYPL.org requires Adobe Flash Player 9 or higher.

John Hope Franklin's upcoming autobiography, Mirror to America, recounts not only the story of his life but also the epic story of the twentieth-century fight for civil rights. In 1997 he was appointed by President Clinton to chair the President's Initiative on Race. On October 27, 2005, they will discuss race in America and how to "destroy the color line that continues to divide our country."
John Hope Franklin lived through America's defining twentieth-century transformation the dismantling of legally protected racial segregation. A renowned scholar, he has explored that transformation in its myriad aspects, most notably in his book, From Slavery to Freedom. He experienced segregation firsthand. Born in 1915, he was evicted from whites-only train cars, confined to segregated schools, threatened once with lynching and consistently faced racism's denigration of his humanity. He earned a Ph.D. from Harvard; became the first black historian to assume a full professorship at a white institution; reshaped the way African American history is understood and taught; and personally challenged the racism he chronicled. From his effort in 1934 to force President Franklin Roosevelt to respond to the Cordie Cheek lynching, to his 1997 appointment to head President Clinton's initiative on race, Franklin, with determination and dignity, has influenced the nation's racial conscience. His books include George Washington Williams: A Biography, Reconstruction After the Civil War, The Emancipation Proclamation, and Racial Equality in America, an examination of the egalitarian principles of America's founding fathers. In 1995, Franklin's lifelong fight for civil rights earned him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. John Hope Franklin taught at Howard University, Brooklyn College, University of Chicago, and Duke University. He maintains a greenhouse containing more than 200 orchids, one, the "phalaeonopsis John Hope Franklin," named for him.
"With his remarkable sense of humanity, renowned historian John Hope Franklin shares his life journey--an odyssey marked by scholarship, public service, and his passionate commitment to improve the condition of African Americans and their relations with their fellow citizens. Through candid stories of Franklin's relentless pursuit of equality, Mirror to America calls upon all Americans to look at our nation's past so that we may destroy the color line that continues to divide our country, and progress together into the future." -- President Bill Clinton

David Cameron goes into Easter after one of the most difficult periods of his premiership, with the Sunday press likely to make grim reading for the Prime Minister.
The lastest polls confirm that the Tories have lost large swathes of public support over the past fortnight, the party is trailing Labour by nine points in the lastest poll conducted by ComRes.
The same poll suggests the public overwhelmingly find the Tories "out of touch", and they also largely reject the so-called "pasty tax" along with the freezing of the personal allowance for the over-65s, widely dubbed the "granny tax".
The Independent on Sunday also reports that a majority of the public blame the government for causing the panic buying at petrol stations across the country this week, after Francis Maude's suggestion to drivers that they should think about filling up both their tank and a "jerry can".
Separately the Sunday Times has saved some of its revelations about former co-treasurer Peter Cruddas - he is reported as attending a number of private dinners at the PM's country residence of Chequers, in revelations not reported by Downing Street last Monday.
Cruddas is also alleged to have said that the Tories' opposition to Scottish independence was not as fervent behind the scenes as the party likes to portray.
It's a sign of an increasingly hostile press towards the Tories, as this collection of recent front pages shows;
Grumblings from some of the Tory press began even before the Budget. Several commentators in the Daily Telegraph sharply criticised George Osborne for spending several days in Washington DC with the Obamas, rather than spending that time in the Treasury putting the finishing touches to his financial statement.
There will be likely recriminations if there are any more revelations like those seen in the Mail on Sunday, which suggest that David Cameron told Cabinet colleagues that a fuel strike by tanker drivers might be "no bad thing".
And in a sign that Tory backbenchers are really starting to wonder what their party's leadership is playing at, the young Thatcherite MP Steve Baker wrote on his blog this weekend:
Putting the public to all this inconvenience would obviously not be a wise strategy. And who would want widespread stockpiling of petrol at home? Who would think that enough could be stockpiled safely to be useful? Given the choice between conspiracy or cock up, error always seems more likely.
Whatever the reason why remarks were made by Government ministers which sent people to the pumps, I feel sure that society should not be so vulnerable to the words of a few people in Westminster. After the drama of the past few days, a better question than why ministers created this pantomime would be why we put up with them having the power to do so, whether by error or deliberate act. Society should not be so vulnerable to its rulers.
Former Tory strategist Amanda Platell said Downing Street didn't have the right staff to handle crises and advise senior ministers.
"What the Tories don't have any more is a senior person who knows how to run the lobby pack. You can only do that if you've actually been inside the business, and they've got no-one like that," she told Dermot Murnaghan on Sky News on Sunday morning.
There's one crumb of comfort for David Cameron, which is a lesson from 2000, the last time problems at petrol stations went all the way to Downing Street. During the autumn of 2000 the Tories briefly overtook Labour in the polls after hauliers brought the country to a standstilll by blockading refineries and running go-slow convoys on Britain's motorways.
It was the first real crisis of Tony Blair's premiership, but within seven months Blair won the 2001 general election with another landslide.
Speaking to the Andrew Marr programme on Sunday Morning, Foreign Secretary William Hague admitted it had been a "controversial week", but said: "I don't think we should be fazed or deterred by that. Of course there has been the threat of a fuel tanker strike.
"I think my colleagues who have handled these things would have been criticised either way. The country is in a better state of preparedness now than it was a week ago, for the eventuality of a tanker strike."

SAN JOSE — Ryane Clowe sat alone as the scrum scurried elsewhere for Saturday night sound bytes.
It was as if the San Jose Sharks winger was already traded, already gone and forgotten. A cold statistical season in which Clowe has yet to score in 28 games and his coming off a recent shoulder injury, hasn't stopped the hot pursuit of the pending unrestricted free agent. With a game suited for the rigours of the postseason, the Boston Bruins are rumoured to be at the front of a line before the Wednesday trade deadline. They lost out of Jarome Iginla. They apparently want Clowe either as a rental or if a sign-and-trade deal is done. He has a no-trade clause.
Either way, it's adios for Clowe who may or may not face Vancouver on Monday night and had some of his best physical and verbal exchanges with the Canucks in the 2011 playoffs. The Sharks are trying to get younger and faster and had depth to move defenceman Douglas Murray to the Pittsburgh Penguins last week for draft picks. Hence the Clowe ongoing trade talk to move his pro-rated $3.625 million expiring contract.
"The last month when it started, it might have got to me a bit but now it almost calms you down a bit — whatever happens, happens," said the 30-year Clowe, who missed four games with the shoulder ailment. "I just play and let everything else take care of itself and that's what I did instead of getting uptight about not scoring and hearing rumours.
"You can't play uptight. You've got to play loose and relaxed and have that energy and what I'm trying to do. I'm not going to tip-toe around. I was going to make sure I was healthy when I come back."
Clowe has assists in five of his last eight games and in a 3-2 shootout win here Saturday against the Phoenix Coyotes, the winger looked like he was auditioning for work. He was noticeable. Clowe did the dirty work to set up T.J. Ggaliardi and nearly buried a chance in the high slot. He had three shots and had another three blocked, but also gave away the puck twice. And he almost scored when the Sharks were down 2-1 early in the third period, taking cross-ice feed and forcing goaltender Jason LaBarbera to make a tough save.
"I don't know what's going on — it's pretty crazy actually," said Clowe. "If I went back and played that many games and tried not to score, I think I'd still score. It's just one of those things, but the last three games are probably the best three I've had all year. You can still make an impact even if you don't score and our line found a way to get on the board again tonight."
Clowe tried to get under the skin of Ryan Kesler in the 2011 conference final with some postseason gamesmanship but his ability to grind it out is a commodity that teams are seeking. And he knows exactly what to expect from Alain Vigneault should the Canucks ever revert to a game that they became noted for.
"Vigneaut was my coach in junior (QMJHL) and I know how he likes a physical and competitive team and it's similar to us," said Clowe. "We kind of clash a bit and get after each other. They're fun games and the kind I like to be involved in — high tempo and with a lot of energy. It's what I like."
And, quite frankly, it's hard not to like Clowe's game when he has everything going.
"I've always been a fan of the way he plays the game," said Canucks winger Chris Higgins. "He plays hard and plays a pretty honest game and is an emotional player. He's got some pretty good skills around the net and I would understand the need for him."
The Sharks have won four straight and have 4-1 and a 3-2 shootout wins over the Canucks this season. But they're like most teams this shortened season. They won their first seven, lost their next seven and have had ebbs and flows to their game and ae chasing the Western Conference playoff pack. Their offence is 28th, the power play is 15th and penalty killing third, but when will meets the skill, the Sharks have plenty of bite. They have just one regulation loss (11-1-1) when leading after two periods.
"When your confidence gets low, you cheat and you get nothing done," said Sharks coach Todd McLellan. "I like our group and the direction we're going. We're all looking for finish and goals — maybe Pittsburgh isn't — but our chances have gone up dramatically and that's a good sign. There are no B-game opportunities for wins anymore in this league and there's no time for practice and we're trying to get rested. We play every other night until April 18."
And probably without Clowe.
"I really like his game and he has played well since his injury," said McLellan. "The trade rumours are easy for him. He's such a professional and is handling it very well. He just wants to make everybody around him better."

It seems odd to say 14 years after her debut album, but Laura Cantrell feels like she came into her own more as a songwriter on her latest release, "No Way There From Here."
"In the past I sort of judged my songs relative to other songs I liked by other writers, and If I didn't feel like (her songs) were as strong it made sense not to do them," explains the New York-based Cantrell, 47, a Nashville native who studied law and accounting at Columbia University and worked in radio before dedicating herself full-time to music.
"But this time I felt like I had enough of my own. I felt like I had a lot more material than I had for previous records and I wanted to showcase them to some degree and let them kind of dictate what the record would sound like."
And while "No Way From There To Here" continues to mine the Americana roots styles of her predecessors — including 2011's "Kitty Wells Dresses" tribute set — doing her own material gave Cantrell more stylistic latitude this time out.
"In the past I've had ideas about country music. 'We want a pretty, lovely steel (guitar) part here and a fiddle there,' kind of formulaic," explains Cantrell, who occasionally writes for the New York Times and Vanity Fair. "I really tried to be a blank slate with this set of songs and say, 'What does this song feel like it needs to be the most effective version of itself?'
"So in practice we ended up with a lot more keyboards and horn parts and sounds I wouldn't have necessarily thought were part of my palette, but seem to really fit with these songs. It was cool for me to have these things that hadn't been part of my music before."

Towers at 6 airports to go dark April 7
Published 7:34 pm, Wednesday, March 6, 2013
BRIDGEPORT -- The sequestering process that will shut down swaths of the federal government in coming weeks will likely be felt in control towers at six airports in the state on April 7, including Sikorsky Memorial, Waterbury-Oxford and Tweed New Haven.
If Congress can't reach an agreement on the budget, the control towers at the six medium-sized airports in Connecticut will close, said John Wallace, director of communication at the Connecticut Airport Authority.
These are the "contract tower" airports that use air-traffic controllers provided by a private Kansas-based company, Midwest Air Traffic Control Service.
The other three airports are Danbury Municipal, Hartford-Brainard and Groton-New London airports.
Not affected will be the major airports such as Bradley International in Windsor Locks and Westchester County Airport in White Plains, N.Y. These use ATCs who work directly for the FAA, and hence have a labor agreement that requires 90 days notice before a furlough could take effect.
But even these FAA-operated towers will see workweek reductions with their ATCs, from five days down to four.
The action was confirmed by the office of Sen. Richard Blumenthal.
"This move, which is entirely preventable, will have a direct impact on the residents employed by these airports who could lose their jobs, the local economies that rely on these facilities and the safety of our airports," he said in a prepared statement.
As many as 2,200 controllers could find themselves without work nationwide by the end of March, according to the union representing ATCs, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.
The action won't mean that these six airports will close, but it will mean that pilots landing and taking off there will have to follow the same protocols in place at smaller "non-towered" airports.
According to a CNN report, the six in Connecticut are among the 173 nationwide that will lose their ATC staffs on or about April 7.
The majority of airports in the United States make do without towers.
There are about 20,000 airports in the U.S., and only 500 have air-traffic controllers. About 30 of these "non-towered" airports are scattered throughout Connecticut, from Bee Field in Jewett City to Windham Airport.

The stratospheric ozone layer protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet light, which damages DNA in plants and animals (including humans) and leads to skin cancer. Prior to 1979, scientists had not observed concentrations below 220 Dobson Units. But in the early 1980s, through a combination of ground-based and satellite measurements, scientists began to realize that Earth's natural sunscreen was thinning dramatically over the South Pole each spring. This large, thin spot in the ozone layer came to be known as the ozone hole.
This series of images shows the size and shape of the ozone hole each year from 1979 through 2017 (no data are available for 1995). The measurements were made from 1979–2003 by NASA's Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instruments, and from 2004–present by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute's Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) that flies on NASA's Aura satellite. Purple and dark blue areas are part of the ozone hole.
As the images show, the word hole isn't literal; no place is empty of ozone. Scientists use the word hole as a metaphor for the area in which ozone concentrations drop below the historical threshold of 220 Dobson Units. Using this metaphor, they can describe the hole's size and depth. These maps show the state of the ozone hole each year on the day of maximum depth—the day the lowest ozone concentrations were measured.
The series begins in 1979. The maximum depth of the hole that year was 194 Dobson Units (DU)—not far below the historical low. For several years, the minimum concentrations stayed in the 190s, but beginning in 1983, the minimums got deeper rapidly: 173 DU in 1982, 154 in 1983, 124 in 1985. In 1991, a new threshold was passed; ozone concentration fell below 100 DU for the first time. Since then, concentrations below 100 have been common. The deepest ozone hole occurred in 1994, when concentrations fell to just 73 DU on September 30.
Records in depth and size haven't occurred during the same years (the largest ozone hole occurred in 2006), but the long-term trend in both characteristics is consistent: from 1980 through the early 1990s, the hole rapidly grew in size and depth. Since the mid-1990s, area and depth have roughly stabilized (see the Ozone Hole Watch website for annual averages). Year-to-year variations in area and depth are caused by variations in stratospheric temperature and circulation. Colder conditions result in a larger area and lower ozone values in the center of the hole.
An uneven seam in the contours of the data marks the location of the international date line. Ozone data are measured by polar-orbiting satellites that collect observations in a series of swaths over the course of the day; the passes are generally separated by about 90 minutes. Stratospheric circulation slowly shifts the contours of the ozone hole over the course of the day (like winds shift the location of clouds). The contours move little from any one swath to the next, but by the end of the day, the cumulative movement is apparent at the date line.
The ozone hole opened the world's eyes to the global effects of human activity on the atmosphere. It turned out that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)—long-lived chemicals that had been used in refrigerators and aerosol sprays since the 1930s—had a dark side. In the layer of the atmosphere closest to Earth (the troposphere), CFCs circulated for decades without degrading or reacting with other chemicals. When they reached the stratosphere, however, their behavior changed. In the upper stratosphere (beyond the protection of the ozone layer), ultraviolet light caused CFCs to break apart, releasing chlorine, a very reactive atom that repeatedly catalyzes ozone destruction.
The global recognition of CFCs' destructive potential led to the 1989 Montreal Protocol banning of the production of ozone-depleting chemicals. Scientists estimate that about 80 percent of the chlorine (and bromine, which has a similar ozone-depleting effect) in the stratosphere over Antarctica today is from human, not natural, sources. Models suggest that the concentration of chlorine and other ozone-depleting substances in the stratosphere will not return to pre-1980 levels until the middle decades of this century. These same models predict that the Antarctic ozone layer will recover around 2040.

wow.. i guess i'm never going to keep up with you guys.. how many pages of posts??
hi to all new peeps. i'm ayan or a.h whatever is easiest.
Do you think that Emmett would ever go against his "vegitarian" side? If so, why and in what circumstances?
I agree with everyone so far. He wouldn't do it on purpose but if he came close enough to do it he wouldn't back down.
I'm going slightly off topic but in english we studied of mice and men by john steinbeck last year and i've got an exam on the text soon so I was doing some revision and going through my character notes and Curley is described as pugnacious which reminds me off Emmett.

Week 4 – Free Offline Genealogy Tools: For which free offline genealogy tool are you most grateful? How did you find this tool and how has it benefited your genealogy? Describe to others how to access this tool and spread the genealogy love.
I am most grateful for Libraries and Archives ~ and most grateful to the librarians and archivists who devote themselves to assisting knowledge seekers. Everyone should use their libraries and archives, cherish them, and support them! The ones listed below are my "winners."
|Art by Salvatore Vuono
at FreeDigitalPhotos.net ~ Thanks
I am most grateful for Libraries
Bronze Medal – the Public Library in Longview, Washington with an amazing genealogy alcove that houses a wealth of materials provided by the Lower Columbia Genealogical Society.
Silver Medal – the Minnesota Historical Society Library housed in an amazing building, and has wonderful Archivists and Volunteers, newspapers on microfilm, death certificates on microfilm, birth certificates (okay they are online but I looked at them on the computers at the Library), books galore, maps galore, county records and histories. The Library holds an overwhelming amount of records, first timers can get a personal guided tour, the work areas are comfortable, the views from the windows are stunning, and the Library offers several programs. If you can't find it there, they help you figure out where you can find it! Minnesotans – you have an amazing facility – cherish it, use it, tell others about it!
Gold Medal – our National Library of Congress which never ceases to inspire awe and pride in anyone who walks through the doors to this facility (really three facilities, the Adams, Jefferson, and Madison buildings). The Geography & Map Reading Room is a definite must use as is the Local History & Genealogy Reading Room.
I am also most grateful for Archives
Bronze Medal - the Wright County Historical Society's Archive in Buffalo, Minnesota is a treasure. Special mention must be made of the employees and volunteers who enthusiastically assist all researchers. This Archive has an amazing amount of material for Wright County researchers and lucky me I found all kinds of records relating to my Swedish American relations here!
Silver Medal - the Provisional Archives of Newfoundland & Labrador in St. John's is in one word STUNNING! I would happily be locked in this facility for a month to do my research and make a return trip. The purpose built facility has beautiful work areas with lovely artwork, comfortable reading areas, wonderful materials, helpful staff, surprising finds, and a lovely city waiting just outside to be explored when you finish your research for the day. This is one of my favorite places.
Gold Medal –our National Archives in Washington, D.C. (as well as the regional facilities) is another facility that inspires awe. This is one of those places where there is so much material that you will want to make many return visits. Be sure to check out Leaflet 71 (online) to help plan your visit. The history contained in the many documents housed at the National Archives combined with our national government housed nearby in the White House, Capitol, and Supreme Court all make for an amazing visit.

BREAKING: Panthers hire Shula to lead offense
The Carolina Panthers are turning over the keys to their offense to the son of an NFL Hall of Fame coach.
Mike Shula was promoted to offensive coordinator on Friday, the team announced.
The 47-year-old Shula replaces Rob Chudzinski, who stepped down Jan. 10 to take the Cleveland Browns head coaching position.
Shula spent the past two seasons as the quarterbacks coach for the Carolina Panthers.
"I am excited about working with our offense in a more expanded role as offensive coordinator," Shula said in a statement on the team's website on Friday. "There are a number of pieces in place for a good offense, and our goal is to build on the momentum we had at the end of last season."
Shula is the son of NFL Hall of Fame coach Don Shula, who led the Miami Dolphins to Super Bowl titles in 1972 and 1973.
After playing in one NFL season with Tampa Bay in 1987, Mike Shula began his coaching career as an offensive assistant with Bucs one year later.
That was the start of a journey for Shula that continued 14-straight years through the NFL.
Shula's first tenure in the National Football League included stops in Miami as a coaches' assistant from 1991-92 and Chicago Bears as a tight end's coach from 1993-95.
In 1996, Mike Shula returned to Tampa Bay, taking over as the Buccaneers' offensive coordinator — his first reigns in such a position.
Following the 1999 season, Shula became the quarterbacks coach with the Miami Dolphins.
In 2003, Shula journey to the collegiate ranks where he was named as the head coach at the University of Alabama. He remained there through 2006, leading the Crimson Tide to 26-23 overall record in his four years as head coach.
Shula was also 1-1 in bowl games with Alabama, winning the Cotton Bowl in 2005.
Since his stint coaching in college, Mike Shula returned to the NFL to serve as quarterbacks coach in Jacksonville (2007-10).
Mike Shula first joined the Panthers in 2011 and has spent the past two seasons as the quarterbacks coach with former No. 1 overall pick Cam Newton.
In his first two seasons, Newton has recorded 7,920 passing yards, 1,447 rushing yards and a combined 62 total touchdowns (40 passing, 22 rushing).
"After going through the interview process, we feel that Mike's familiarity with our offense and personnel lends itself to the offensive coordinator position," said Panthers head coach Ron Rivera. "He has the experience and knowledge to step in and provide continuity in an area that has been productive over the past two years."
On top of the decision to promote Shula to offensive coordinator, the Panthers also elevated Ricky Proehl from assistant to head wide receivers coach.
Proehl, a former wideout for Carolina from 2003-05, spent 17 years in the NFL. He also played for the Cardinals, Seahawks, Bears, Rams and Colts before retiring in 2006.
In the team's third and final move of the day, Richard Rodgers was retained as Carolina's special teams coordinator.
Rodgers moved up to special teams coordinator from special teams assistant after Brian Murphy was fired by the team on Nov. 12, 2012.

To the editor: So I wanted to take a moment and talk about the temporary paper licenses that New Hampshire uses.
So we pay $50 at the DMV or online and yet we have to wait 45 days or longer to get our permanent ID? Give me a break there no reason it should take that long.
I know before I got my ID they were able to do it at DMV office so either the state needs to explain the new rule, why it was put ineffective, or why I have to have a paper licenses that fall apart before it expires. I tried looking online for answer found none.

To the editor: How noble to make memorial tribute to USS Thresher crew, yet one essential step is missing first.
Locating and salving the submarine in particular its nuclear reactor is paramount and overdue.
It's been 50 years since my first true love, a CPO sailor aboard USS Thresher and its fatal deep Atlantic Ocean dive had told me what was happening. There should be interest in the truth and also retrieving Thresher's nuclear reactor, which might be leaking now into the ocean.
A leaking nuclear reactor is dangerous for the sea, seals, fish and all life which use the ocean.
We have an obligation to find Thresher and discover and know total truth surrounding it.
A suitable memorial is long overdue and so is finding USS Thresher which was built here and left Portsmouth/Kittery on April 10th, 1963 with 129 precious lives aboard.

To the editor: I do not own an "assault rifle" and I have no desire to purchase one.
The prevailing wisdom seems to be that no one "needs" assault rifles, so we should ban them. Since when must we justify our "need" for something? This implies that anything "unneeded" which has the potential to do harm could/should be banned. Thousands die each year from alcohol use and drunken driving. Shall we ban alcohol, or perhaps limit the size of the bottles to 750ml or less? Drowning is a leading cause of death for children under 5 years old … do you "need" a swimming pool?
We should improve the effectiveness of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System and perhaps require some level of training or certification, but a ban is wrong.
Just because I don't think you "need" something, does not give me the right to take it away.
Ray Turner
To the editor: So much for your professional responsibility to protect the identity of victims of sexual assault. Your story today (1/19/13) by Samantha Webber regarding the alleged sexual assault of a man who attended a community service provider's Halloween dance was unconscionable. By describing this man's costume you have "outed" him as the victim to anyone in attendance at that dance and everyone with whom they wish to share that information. The community of disability services is very small and extra care should be taken to protect a citizen's confidentiality in these circumstances.
Not good, Foster's, not good at all. You have let your community down on this one.
Allison Wilder
To the editor: In the Foster's of 1/18 there is a Community Commentary by Mr. Michael Briggs wherein he says we need to have a discussion on firearms. I thought that was exactly what we, as citizens, were doing in these pages of letters to the editor?
He suggests that the founding fathers could not have envisioned the kind of weapons we have today, that the 2nd Amendment was meant to protect ownership of Muskets, that we need to draw line between " a reasonable level of firepower for self-defense and hunting versus what is really a weapon of war". Who determines what is "reasonable"? What criteria do they use? I would respectfully suggest to Mr. Briggs that all guns can be construed as a "Weapon of war". The muskets he referred to in his opening letter were "Weapons of War" of their day ... they also put meat on the table, defended against Indians and"ruffians", as the bad guys were called in those days. Keeping in mind that the Ruffian/Bad guy of today no longer use Muskets, I think it is a good idea to armed equal to the bad guy if you want a chance to live.
Secondly, demonizing the NRA is silly. The NRA is the only organization that I am aware of that stands for protecting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights by defending firearms ownership. A very good argument can be made that the 2nd Amendment is the only thing standing between a tyrannical Government and the people. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are just words on paper. The 2nd Amendment, a gun in the hands of the American citizen, back up those words and have done for more than 200 years.
On the other hand, I agree that existing gun laws should be enforced. Those with mental health issues should be checked, but that too is a slippery sloop. If some one sees a psychiatrists because of the loss of a loved one does that prevent them from owning a gun? A soldier returning from a war, doing as he was asked to do by defending his country (with a GUN) and has emotional issues related to that war, should he be denied the right to own a gun? Tough questions with no easy answers. Some one who is clearly Mentally Disturbed, as all three of the latest shooting nut-jobs clearly were should never have access to firearms ... but than that begs the question, if they have never seen a psychiatrist how do we know who they are?
And Mr. Briggs, you can't walk into a Wal-Mart and buy a rocket-propelled grenade. Wal-Mart doesn't sell them. And calling a firearm a "hand-held weapon of mass destruction" is ridiculous.
The media is at fault here for continuing the myth that an AR-15 is an "assault weapon" It is not. It is a semi-automatic operating on essentially the same principle that John M. Browning invented over 100 years ago. One bullet for each pull of the trigger. An AR-15 as sold in gun stores in this country is not a machine gun. It is not an assault weapon as defined by the military. Duck hunters use semiauto shotguns, the police carry semiauto hand guns, even here in Dover (so do I), and Olympic target shooters use semi-autos in international competition.
And last of all, when we have a president, who as a senator at both the state and federal level repeatedly voted against gun owner ship, even to the extent of voting against using a gun for self-defense in ones own home, a little paranoia is probably a good thing if one wants the country to stay free.
Tom Seiler
To the editor: Cyclist Lance Armstrong, stripped of his seven Tour-de-France titles and an Olympic medal, finally came semi-clean regarding his use of performance enhancing drugs, which undeniably gave him an unfair advantage. Meanwhile, the Texas native Armstrong managed to amass around $100,000,000 in personal wealth (prize money, endorsements, enterprises and books). En route, Lance and his lawyers discredited, humiliated and bullied anyone that had the audacity to tell the truth about how Lance achieved his success. He even berated, like another Texan named George W. Bush (over Iraq), the French for questioning the veracity of his performances in their prestigious world-class event. France must feel vindication on both accounts.
It must be the dangerous "Don't mess with Texas" mindset that serves as the common denominator between Lance Armstrong, George W. Bush and Roger Clemens. These Texans have caused a lot of hearts and heads to ache over the past decade.
Why should Lance's reprehensible behavior matter to a woefully imperfect, middle-aged and mediocre endurance athlete (Triathlete) like me, who just wants to stay fit and healthy? Well, I was frankly inspired by Lance's story of surviving an extremely aggressive form of cancer and becoming the best in his field. I admire anyone that could qualify for, let alone win, an athletic event as grueling as the Tour-de-France. I was in awe of Lance's superhuman ability to climb the mountain pasture, L'Alpe d'Huez (4,100-10,930' for 8 miles) at a pace of 18 MPH.
To add insult to injury, I purchased, read and recommended two of Lance's "nonfiction" books. I even bought a "Live-Strong" T-shirt and frequently replaced my yellow "Live-Strong" bracelets. I'm not that disappointed about the latter two since the proceeds supposedly went to Lance's worthwhile foundation. As for the books, I'd be happy to join a class-action suit to receive a refund from Lance's personal empire and donate it to the Special Olympics.
Anyhow, while Bush will never confess about costly Iraq not being about WMDs or 9/11/2001, at least Lance did tell the truth with the title of his first autobiography, "It's not about the bike."
