The internet users are browsing websites in order to get the information or service they need. Most users are finding information for their various purposes through the articles. This is the major reason why article become the main motor that generates a website's rank in the search engine. If we are webmasters that serves information for our visitors, then we will find out the struggle to give accurate and up date information every day and every hour. The same struggles will be experienced by webmasters who have a business and want to deliver their interesting products to the customers through written form. Writing a single article can spend hours because sometimes we have to gather information so we can provide accurate information to our visitors and we should arrange the idea and information to an understandable and interesting article so the visitors get the idea of the article. The visitors can be very judging. Most of them are judging the article after they read two or three lines of the articles. Wow! The judgment is really worrying because if we are unable to tie their attention from the first to last line, they will never read our article and visit our website in the future. The worst thing about the situation is there are so many webmasters that ready to bet us with their great articles. Hard work is definitely the right words to capture this situation.

Five teams to watch
Bishop Fenwick: The Crusaders finished 10-10 last spring, but made a magical run to the Division 3 North semifinals for the third straight season. Fenwick graduated pitcher Kevin Church (1.85 ERA), but the Crusaders always reload.
Danvers: While Peabody controlled the Northeast Conference North, the Falcons dominated the South with a 15-6 record. Dan Connors, A.J. Couto, Ray Arocho, and Scott Hovey are all returning.
Lowell: The Red Raiders captured the D1 North crown last season, and coach Dan Graham has led them to three straight Merrimack Valley Conference titles. Last season, senior pitcher Matt Tulley captured his third player of the year award. Who will replace him?
North Reading: The 22-4 Hornets captured the Division 3 state title last season. It won't take long for legendary coach Frank Carey to notch his 700th win. He enters his 48th season with a dazzling 697-266 record.
St. John's Prep: The Eagles return a strong core from last season's squad, which finished 15-5 and earned a three seed in the Division 1 North tournament. Led by Brandon Bingel, the Eagles are a serious threat in the ever-competitive Catholic Conference.
Five players to watch
Brandon Bingel , St. John's Prep: Bingel captured Catholic Conference MVP honors after hitting .418 with five home runs and 25 RBIs. The shortstop can pitch as well, and was 5-2 last season.
Ben Bowden , Lynn English: The 6-foot-4 left-hander garnered plenty of attention last season after throwing a no-hitter to start the season. In August, he committed to Vanderbilt. He had a 2.19 ERA last spring, and also hit .394 with 21 RBIs.
Dan Connors , Danvers: After helping the Falcons to a second-straight D3 basketball state championship, can Connors help the Falcons do the same on the diamond? Last season, he hit .395 with 18 RBIs.
Colby Maiola , North Reading: As a sophomore, the center fielder knocked in 25 runs for the Hornets, and hit .375 in the state tournament. He also scored 17 runs, and drove in two runs in the team's 8-4 state championship win against Mt. Everett.
Cam Rogers , Beverly: Last season, the Panthers entered the Division 2 North tournament as the five seed and advanced to the finals. Rogers was a big part of that run, tossing four straight shutouts toward the end of the season. He finished with a 1.75 ERA.

Getting to Know Your Professors: Lori Watson
Inside USD -- Lori Watson, director of Women's and Gender Studies and associate professor in the Department of Philosophy, answers questions from Inside USD on why gender studies are important in today's society and who inspires her every day.
Q: What is gender studies, and why is it relevant to today's students and scholars?
Gender studies is a broad field with an inherently interdisciplinary approach investigating the ways in which gender, sex, and sexuality are socially created, maintained, and reinforced through complex political and social institutions. Such scholarship includes asking questions, and seeking answers to questions, about the relationship between biology and sex or gender or sexuality, the relationship between culture and sex or gender or sexuality. It can also include seeking to understand men's and women's social roles as they play out in particular institutional settings such as education, law, the family, religion, and just about any institution you can think of.

Lions Club seeks clearer vision with upcoming White Cane campaign
PUNXSUTAWNEY — If you're driving around town Saturday and come upon a group of men who are in the road holding huge white canes, be advised it's the Punxsutawney Lions Club's annual "White Cane Day" collection.
"'White Cane Day' is an annual event that the Punxsy Lions Club has held for a number of years," said Mike Ruffner, president of the Punxsutawney Lions Club.
Joe Sikora Sr., Lions Club member, said there are quite a few people who can't afford to purchase eyeglasses, and the Lions Club offers the program to assist those individuals.
He said the large white canes represent smaller ones used by visually impaired people.
"Every year, we stand out in front of Central and Lindsey fire halls collecting with our white canes in order to purchase brand new eyeglasses for area residents," Ruffner said, which is not to be confused with the Lions Club's ongoing collection of used eyeglasses throughout Punxsy in specially-marked mail boxes.
Punxsutawney Mayor James Wehrle has proclaimed Saturday as "White Cane Day" in Punxsy.
"I appreciate all the work the Lions Club does for those who are in need of new or replacement glasses," Wehrle said.
Ruffner said all motorists will have to do Saturday is pull up to the Lions' two locations and place donations inside the large white canes.
"We'll have a little something that we'll be passing out to the people who contribute to 'White Cane Day' at our two locations," Ruffner said, adding that the collection will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Sikora said anyone who would like more information about the Lions' eyeglasses program should call him at 938-9310.
Ruffner said 100 percent of the money collected will go toward purchasing new eyeglasses for people in the Punxsy area; all the money stays right here in town.

Cisco and RSA work on recipe for SAN encryption
Security heaven without all the seams
Capitalizing on the spate of embarrassing data breaches over the past year, Cisco Systems and RSA/EMC are working together to make it easier for organizations to encrypt confidential information by integrating technologies that currently sold separately.
The companies will combine Cisco's Storage Media Encryption, which encrypts data-at-rest as a fabric service, with RSA's Key Manager technologies. The first combined product will be released before the end of the year and will work only on tape drives. Later versions will work on other types of network media types, as well.
It seems plenty of organizations fail to exercise their better judgment when it comes to encrypting sensitive information. We still go bug-eyed every time we think of the fiasco at TJX, which allowed thieves to siphon at least 45.7m of its customers' credit and debit card numbers, at least in part because it didn't encrypt them when they were being transmitted to banks. And TJX is by no means alone.
Just last week, IBM fessed up to losing unencrypted computer tapes containing personal information relating to former employees and customer accounts after a courier was involved in a fender bender.
Cisco and RSA are hoping their combined product will offer "seamless" management of data encryption across a variety of storage devices, including disks, tape drives and virtual tape libraries. This should allow customers to secure sensitive records on media types that lack native encryption capabilities and eliminate the need for stand-alone encryption applications.
Organizations that want to add RSA's encryption manager to their Cisco-based storage area networks will do so by installing a jointly developed line card into their server chassis, according to Computer World. Eventually, the card will encrypt data on wide array of SAN media without requiring configuration changes. The line card will provide 10 gigabits of encryption throughput, and RSA's encryption technologies will support an application programming interface for key management.
The press release is available here. ®

When business started slowing late last year at Ken-Weld Co. Inc., the manufacturer faced the prospect of laying off workers.
Instead, it turned to a state program called WorkSharing that allowed it to cut workers' hours and pay while the workers made up some of their lost wages with partial unemployment benefits.
Available in 17 states, work sharing has forced the company to juggle a new schedule, but it has also kept workers from fleeing to other employers while Ken-Weld, which employs about 30, waits for its customers to place orders.
"In our mind, the worst thing that could happen is things turn around and we don't have the people, which is what we could have if we lay some of these people off," said Michael P. Burke, general manager of the privately held business.
Work sharing, sometimes also known as short-time compensation, has long been used in Europe. California established a work sharing program in 1978. A temporary national program began in 1982, followed by permanent changes to federal laws in 1992 that allow work sharing, according to the Center for Law and Social Policy, a nonprofit organization focused on the poor.
Massachusetts passed work sharing legislation in 1988, but its use has soared in the past year. A total of 510 companies and 10,893 workers were participating as of last week, up about 15 times from a year ago, according to the state Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development.
Employers, ranging from retailers to insurance agencies to pharmaceutical companies, are using work sharing, said Suzanne M. Bump, secretary of the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development.
"There were certain industries that were familiar with the program already because they regularly go through expansions and contractions of their labor forces. For instance, manufacturers have been utilizing work share since its inception," Ms. Bump said. Now "there certainly is a much broader audience for it than in years past."
Under work sharing, workers collect a percentage of unemployment insurance benefits that equals the reduction in their wages and hours. If a company cuts workers' hours by 20 percent, workers can receive 20 percent of their unemployment benefits, according to the state. Employers must continue regular health insurance benefits.
Workers take home less pay than under full-time work, but the partial unemployment insurance benefits cushion the blow, according to work sharing proponents.
"It shrinks the gap enough," said Mr. Burke, although he added, "It's never easy when you get your pay cut."
Payments to workers come from the state's unemployment insurance trust fund, which contained about $1 billion as of May 31 and is mostly funded by employers. The average amount of money paid out of the trust fund weekly for work sharing benefits has been ranging from about $400,000 to $500,000, according to the state.
Work sharing is particularly useful in industries that rely on skilled or aging workers who might leave the state, retire or leave the work force if laid off, said Andre Mayer, senior vice president of communications and research for the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, an employers' trade group.
"This is a state where we have a perennial shortage of skilled labor, people who know how to get a job done," Mr. Mayer said. "Even in this situation, which is a terrible employment market, we hear some of our members saying they can't find people to fill certain positions."
Ken-Weld feared that if it laid off workers, some of whom are master welders certified to work on a variety of specialized metals, it might lose them to competitors or be unable to replace them when customers wary of the economy and pressed by the credit crunch again place orders, according to Mr. Burke, the general manager. The company makes custom-welded products for industrial customers, including large metal chambers, pressurized tanks and, increasingly, components for structures.
"You don't want to just let that go," Mr. Burke said of the skills the Ken-Weld employees possess. "When they're 15-, 25-year veterans, if you will, there's not a lot of guys walking around like that."
After Controller Jo-Ann J. Judkins stumbled upon online information about work sharing, Ken-Weld opted to cut all employees' hours or salaries by 20 percent and enroll everyone in the program. Hourly workers dropped from five-day to four-day schedules starting in February. Ken-Weld overlapped the schedules to make sure the site is staffed Monday through Friday.
Edward Steiger of Webster, a 31-year Ken-Weld employee, said that with his children grown, he and his wife can adapt to work sharing. He said he is enjoying extra time in his garden and appreciates that benefits remain in place.
"We still have the benefits. We need to get the benefits," Mr. Steiger said. Also, he added, "I hate to get laid off and called back."
Companies can use work sharing in Massachusetts for an initial period up to 26 weeks and then apply for up to an additional 23 weeks of benefits. But the program is not meant to support businesses for long.
"Once you get past a year of this, we really work with the company to determine whether another round would be appropriate," Ms. Bump said, "because we don't want this to become a permanent part of someone's business model, and we really have to help them look carefully at the viability of their company."

Hi! I am new here and currently taking my first CS class, which happens to be Java. Usually I do very well with the assignments and have no trouble, but right now I am completely stumped.
We just learned file input/output and loops, so our assignment is to read 30 scores (integers) from a file and display them using regular output. The only problem is, I'm supposed to use a for loop to only read the first 30 numbers.
So far, I can only get my code to display the first number of the file repeatedly. I am completely stumped!
This is what my code looks like:
import java.util.Scanner; import java.io.*; public class Echo { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { int number; int score; File file = new File("scores.txt"); Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(file); score = inputFile.nextInt(); for(number=1; number<=30; number=number+1) {System.out.println(score);} inputFile.close(); } }
I'm sure it has to be something simple that I'm overlooking. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

It's only been eight days since the Pentagon announced it would lift its longtime ban on women in combat, and the objections just keep on coming. Seventeen percent of Marines say they'd quit the military if women are allowed in combat roles, according to a survey conducted last summer by the Pentagon, the Associated Press reports. The Marine Corps is the most-male part of the military — only 7 percent of Marines are women. Which might explain why there appears to be quite a gender divide on the issue: only 4 percent of female Marines say they'd quit, while 31 percent said they'd consider moving to a combat position.
It's worth comparing these results to the military's feelings on the end of Don't Ask Don't Tell. A 2008Military Times survey found that 10 percent of active-duty service members said they'd leave the service if gays were allowed in the military, and 14 percent said they'd consider it. Yet a year after the gay ban was repealed, the Pentagon said there had been no impact on recruitment, retention, or morale. In 2011, 10 percent of respondents to a Military Times poll said they'd consider leaving military housing if gays were allowed, but only 2 percent reported they actually moved in 2012.

- Better-than-forecast growth in a manufacturing gauge tempered concern about the strength of the global economy.
- Fed Chair Janet Yellen last week said the economy has strengthened enough to withstand continued cuts to monetary stimulus. The International Monetary Fund said yesterday the global recovery is still weak and "significant downside risks remain."
- In China, the preliminary February reading of a purchasing managers' index by HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics was 48.3, trailing the 49.5 projection of economists.
Commodities: Several commodities saw wild moves yesterday: Natural gas(NYMEX:NGH14) and coffee(NYMEX:KCK14). Today natural gas is settling down, especially now that the storage report information has been released. This contract is down 13¢ to $6.02, making a low of $5.88. We believe that even with the crisis in Ukraine, March natural gas may gravitate towards $6 until this contract expires next Wednesday. We noted that our key resistance level for May coffee was $1.75. This market spiked to almost $1.78 this morning, and then swiftly traded lower, now down over 4% to $1.6550.
Equities: The March E-mini S&P 500(CME:ESH14) is up 6.25 points to 1831.75; 1831 is a pivot for intraday action, and if the market can stay above it, we look for 1835 to be the next key level to watch. The market may need to see more economic growth confirmation to really start to rally hard. One of our key support levels is 1810. We continue to focus on the possibility that as weather starts to warm up, we could start to see economic growth accelerate and potentially contribute to more rallying for the market.
Bonds: March 30-year bonds(CBOT:USH14) are down 13 ticks to 132'18. The bonds' range of recent days has been from around 132 to 134. If the stock market continues to rally, we could see the bonds start to head lower. The fact that the market seems to believe that interest rates may stay low for a while, may have an effect of bond prices going down to account for potential inflation. This is of course just one possibility, but one that could make sense to us.
Currencies: The euro(CME:ECH14) is down 39 ticks to 137.05. It seems to be near the upper end of its recent range of 1.35 and 1.37. The yen futures(CME:JYH14) is down 3 ticks to 97.70, but the daily candlestick seems to be a bearish signal for the yen, which potentially complete a downward move to the 96 level, especially if we see the S&P 500 continue to rally beyond the recent contract highs. The Canadian dollar is down 13 ticks to 90.08, after having a very significant down day yesterday. Our next key support level is 89.80, with 89.00 as the recent low.

Get fit fast - go to work!
Back in the late 1700s and early 1800s, it was an absurd notion for employers to be concerned with the health and wellbeing of their employees. An exception to that mentality was a Welshman by the name of Robert Owen, a successful employer famous for caring about workers' rights.
He gave employees clean housing. He forbade their kids from working in his factories and instead funded their education and organised day care. He cut the length of his employees' workday and prohibited the use of corporal punishment in the workplace. He did all these things, which were considered unthinkable by any self-respecting businessman at the time, and still made a fortune.
It took a long while for Owen's progressive policies to spread. Today, it's the norm that people don't just go to work to work. Workplaces are now also locations at which employees are encouraged to get fit and stay well. Onsite gyms, lunchtime yoga, free psychologists, office massages, flu shots, and even services to help people quit smoking, are some of the techniques employers are using to improve their employees' wellbeing.
In a global poll released last week by a subsidiary of Xerox, an astonishing 87 per cent of employers declared they consider it their responsibility to help employees become healthier. Other polls show that employees agree. That's a curious trend. It implies that the onus for looking after the mind and body has shifted from the individual to the workplace. In one sense, people are allowing their quality of life to be determined by someone else.
Essentially, it's survival of the fittest, with 'fittest' referring to the inextricable link between the fitness of individuals and the fitness of organisations. But from an organisational perspective, the core driver isn't as altruistic as what Robert Owen exemplified. The Xerox survey, for example, found that the main motivator wasn't so much the wellness of workers but the wellness of profits.
The theory goes something like this. Healthy employees are less likely to be sick, injured, unproductive or stressed out. These benefits translate into a more efficient organisation and more capable employees.
The irony is that the office can be the place that's particularly damaging to our health. A study conducted at the University of South Carolina concluded that people who sit for more than 23 hours a week – as is the case for many office workers – are 64 per cent more likely to die of heart disease. And further research by the University College London discovered that those who work more than 11 hours a day are twice as likely to suffer from depression.
There's other evidence, too, to suggest that artificial lighting, lack of fresh air, and the constant glare of a computer screen are deleterious to deskbound workers' wellbeing. That's why health professionals advocate frequent micro-breaks and the total avoidance of eating lunch at one's desk.
Still, these negative effects were somewhat contradicted by an Australian report produced by PricewaterhouseCoopers a couple of years ago, which stated that it's better for us – psychologically, at least – to be employed rather than unemployed. The authors note that workplaces even have a vital role to play in minimising the impact of chronic diseases within the community.
About a dozen suggestions are offered to mitigate ill health and disease, such as providing employees with wellness information, training courses, health checks, fresh fruit, a work/life balance, and weight loss programs. Some of those ideas are relatively inexpensive, able to be implemented by both large corporations and small businesses.
When he was on his deathbed in November 1858, Robert Owen was asked by a church minister if he felt as though he'd wasted his life on useless projects that didn't catch on. Owen replied: "My life was not useless; I gave important truths to the world, and it was only for want of understanding that they were disregarded. I have been ahead of my time."
If current workplace trends are any indication, he was right.

Invasive Mussels Could Cost Idaho Millions
COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO (AP) — Officials in northern Idaho say failing to prevent invasive zebra and quagga mussels from clogging northern Idaho waterways could end up costing the state $100 million. The Pacific Northwest Economic Region economic leadership forum meeting in Coeur d'Alene on Thursday predicts that an infestation of Idaho would damage fisheries, hydropower production, tourism and agriculture. Amy Ferriter of the Idaho Department of Agriculture says if the mussels enter Idaho there aren't any real control options. She says testing has determined mussels currently aren't in Inland Northwest Waters. The Coeur d'Alene Press reports that Idaho has 15 mandatory boat inspection stations at its borders.

Flanders Field post revitalizing
After 20 years of dormancy, Flanders Field Post BE02 in Belgium has been revitalized and is now up to 37 new members. During the last nine months we have been actively recruiting new members to The American Legion. We also have more than 40 potential new members who have indicated a desire to join our ranks. We hope they will take the final step to join. During the last three months, we have been busy expanding and have now established a chapter of the American Legion Riders and are planning for 2014 to establish a chapter of the American Legion Auxiliary. The president of the Riders, Comrade Paul Dunn, has been extremely influential in establishing the chapter. We look forward to seeing the Riders at the many ceremonies scheduled for the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I and the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Belgium.
On Nov. 10-11, members of Post BE02 participated in several ceremonies honoring the veterans of World War I. The American Legion Riders participated in a small ceremony at the Flanders Field American Cemetery honoring the American veterans who fought in Belgium in 1918. Other members of Post BE02 partook in a night's ceremony on Nov. 10 in the city of Passchendaele, and then the next morning in the Poppy Parade and wreath-laying ceremony in the city of Ieper (Ypres). Our World War II veteran, Comrade Maurice Sperandieu, has been influential in representing the Legion at many of the ceremonies held in Belgium. During the Veterans/Armistice Day ceremonies, the Flanders Field Post BE02 flag was flown for the first time in 20 years.
We have been fortunate to have a Belgian citizen to head our Graves Registration, Memorial and Ceremony Committee. Frank De Rudder volunteered to coordinate the myriad ceremonies the post and Riders will participate in next year. Another of our standing committees, the Child & Youth Committee, will be headed by Comrade Charles Lyons. We are looking forward to the many activities and programs that will be sponsored by the committee.
During the past months the post's members have been active in many other activities. On Halloween evening, the Riders joined other organizations and groups in the 'trunk or treat' event on the USAG Brussels compound. For our first big endeavor, Post BE02 plans to conduct an Oratorical contest in January 2014 for students from the four American high schools in the Benelux area. While it is a large undertaking, our vice commander – Comrade John DuBose – has taken the initiative to head the project. Our chaplain, Comrade Gavin Wainwright, has volunteered to head our JROTC program. The members of Post BE02 will honor distinguished cadets at the JROTC programs at SHAPE and AFNORTH.
As we continue to grow in membership, Post BE02 will be able to participate in many more programs to assist area veterans and servicemembers, their families and the U.S. military community.

YORK, Pa.- The Men's and Women's swimming teams are gearing up for the three-day CAC Championships. Hosted by St. Mary's College, the meet will run Friday, February 21st to Sunday, February 23rd.
Both York teams have had a long season starting in early October, and will look to conclude the season on a high note.
Coach Erin Kurtz on how she feels about the teams, "I feel very good about our training, being in Florida over the winter break definitely helped our cardiovascular training and I just feel this team is competing a completely different level than they were last season."
For the men, the Spartans have gone 4-1 in conference meets this year with their only loss coming against Mary Washington on November 1st. The men have pushed well all season and will come into the Championships with an 8-4-1 record. The men will look improve upon on their 3rd place performance from last year. The Spartans will have to go through a tough St. Mary's squad to achieve their goals.
Leading the way for the men will be Kyle Walthall (Port Hueneme, Ca. / Rio Mesa), the 2013 CAC Rookie of the year. Walthall enters the championships ranked 2nd in the 100 breast, and 5th in the 200 breast.
Coach Kurtz on Walthall, "Kyle has trained fantastically this season, he's been very focused and determined. He is setting his sights on an NCAA bid in the 200 breaststroke is something that is very achievable as we head into the weekend."
Another York swimmer to watch is Cody Latchford (New Castle, Del. / WIlliam Penn). His leadership in the freestyle events will be crucial to the team's success at the championships. Cody will be swimmer to watch, as he is ranked in the top 12 of seven different events. The Spartans will also look to Bryant Hughes (Middletown, Del. / Caravel Academy) and Shane Bonner (Ridley Park, Pa. / Ridley) to be major leaders in the sprints. The two have had a solid training and racing season and could set the relays up to smash some school records.
Also helping in the relays will be Russell Stoll (Pompton Lakes, N.J. / Pompton Lakes). "Russell brings a wealth of talent and depth to our men's team. He's been a solid rock for our medley relays and our coaching staff is very excited to watch him race tough this weekend."
For the women, The Spartans have gone 2-3 in conference meets this year with their wins coming against Frostburg St. and Salisbury. The women began to pull together as the season closed out and finished with a 5-8 record. The women finished the season with a flurry of wins and a will be dangerous to their CAC foes. The Spartan women have their sights set on improving their fourth place finish at the 2013 CAC Championships. The 2014 championship race will be very tight between Marymount, York, and Salisbury.
Leading the way for the women will be Lindsey Buglino (Wharton, N.J. / Jefferson), the seventh place finisher in the 200 fly at the 2013 Championships. Buglino will enter the championships ranked in the top 25 in nine separate events.
Coach Kurtz on Buglino, "Lindsey Buglino has been so versatile for us this season. She can compete strong in a number of events so we will have trouble deciding her main three events."
For the stroke events, The Spartans will look to Kelsie Pike (Newark, Del. / St. Mark's) and Megan Murphy (Farmingdale, N.J. / Colts Neck).

Sophomore Ryan Lackey threw a complete-game shutout in the Hurricanes final game of the 2009 season; a 10-0 win over Albany State.
In the first inning, a Bud Long ground out to short brought in Chris Lingham, who reached base with a leadoff double, to give the 'Canes an early 1-0 advantage.
The score remained 1-0 until the bottom of the sixth, when five Albany State errors opened the door for a seven-run frame for the Hurricanes. Daniel Lynn brought in two runs on his triple to left field and Shane Doyle drove in another two runs with a double down the left field line.
The Hurricanes would close out the game in the seventh inning when Trey Reeves' double down the left field line brought Scooter Houston and Byron Haynes to make the score 10-0.
Albany State starting pitcher B.J. Stewart (4-2) went 5.1 innings and allowed six runs - one earned - on five hits to take the loss. He struck out two and walked three. Ken Nesbitt pitched one inning of relief and walked two while allowing four runs - two earned - on three hits.
Lackey (3-5) scattered six hits, did not walk a batter and struck out five.
Brandon Marcus went 3-for-3 at the plate for Albany State (29-17) with a stolen base.
Haynes led GSW with a 2-for-3 performance. He scored two runs and knocked in a run. Trey Reeves and Daniel Lynn had two RBI apiece for the 'Canes.
Georgia Southwestern finishes the 2009 season with a 19-33 record.

Board of Directors
Size of the Board of Directors
The EMS board of directors is limited in size by the bylaws but currently shall not exceed 5 members, and until changed, this number of directors shall be elected at each annual meeting.
Board Member Qualifications
Candidates for the Board of Directors must have been members in good standing with the GD during the election month, and except for the first BOD, must have also been a member in good standing for the two preceding months, or any three months in the five preceding months, or any five months in the preceding eleven months before the election month. A Candidate must also be nominated, and accept, by another member in good standing.
Regular Meetings
The board of directors shall meet on the first non us holiday Wednesday of the month. Any rescheduling of these meetings can be done at least 30 days in advance.
Each board member must be present at regular board meetings. Failure to provide a reasonable explanation for more than one absence in a year will qualify as a breach of the GD and may result in the removal from the BOD as described elsewhere in the GD.
Submitting issues to the general membership for a vote
The BOD may from time to time submit issues to the general membership for a vote at one of their regularly scheduled or other meetings. Five (5) days notice must be given in one of the common EMS communications channels, such as email or the website. If there is a quorum of the membership class(es) voting then a simple majority of the general members in attendance shall decide the issue(s). If 5 days notice cannot be given then the issue(s) can be decided by a majority of the total number of voting members at an official membership meeting.
General Membership
To qualify as a potential EMS member you must:
Be 18 years of age or over or have your parent or guardian sign up with you.
Submit a postal address we can reach you at, an email address, and optionally a phone number.
Sign the Organization's Waiver of Liability.
To qualify for a family discount your family must:
Have one full dues paying EMS member in good standing.
Have at least one child EMS member under the age of 18 to sign up.
Monthly dues for basic membership in EMS shall be set at $25, to be paid at the beginning of each month that membership is to be recognized.
If you have been approved for a family discount, one adult member of your family shall owe $25 to be paid at the beginning of each month that membership is to be recognized. The other members of your family shall owe $12.50 to be paid at the beginning of each month that membership is to be recognized.
A member may become a member in good standing for a particular month once all required dues, fees, and assessments have been paid, but not before.
If there is an official EMS record of payment, including an EMS account statement of the payment posting before the end of a month then the member will be recorded as having been a member in good standing for that month. However that will not change any previous decisions regarding their member status.
If the member is paid up for the current month then the payment will apply to some future unpaid month. However EMS will not accept payments more than three months ahead.
Basic membership may be granted for a period of three months to persons of the community that the Board of Directors declare recognize as having made a significant contribution to the assets of EMS. This program shall be entitled the "Quarterly Scholarship." The Quarterly Scholarship may only be issued to the same person once a year and must be awarded by a majority vote of the Board of Directors.
Members may terminate their membership at any time for any particular reason by submitting written notice to the Board of Directors and will be required to pay the full sum of their dues for the month that they terminated their membership.
Members may also be terminated by the BOD as described elsewhere in the GD.
Members in good standing have the following Privileges:
Access to EMS-owned equipment designated for membership use when said equipment is not in use by another member, has been loaned for use to a partnering organization, is inaccessible due to the equipment location's hours of operation, or has been designated out of operation by a Director.
Access to equipment loaned to EMS by individuals or other organizations if the member has been approved to use the equipment by the owner or one of his agents. Unless the equipment has been marked as out of operation by the owner or agents.
Key Privileges
EMS controls access to its space and other resources with keys. They may be physical, electronic, or pass codes.
A member in good standing is eligible for the privilege of being a key holder after a vetting period of two months if the member is nominated by three other similar key holding members and the board of directors votes favorably at a board meeting. The board of directors may also waive all or part of the vetting period. The vetting period begins once the member first becomes a member in good standing.
The BOD may suspend a members' key privileges for any reason, and may or may not chose to review it later.
Except for the annual election meeting, at least two board members must attend any membership meeting in order for it to be duly recorded, otherwise it is not a valid membership meeting. One of these board members shall be responsible for seeing that the meeting minutes are recorded in the EMS documents properly
Regular Meetings
The General membership shall meet directly following the last board meeting of each quarter.
Special Meetings
A special meeting may be called by a petition signed by members in good standing as set forth in the bylaws. The intended date and purpose(es) of the meeting must be on the petition, and notice of the meeting must be sent with this information to all members in good standing. If the notice is sent by USPS first class then at least 7 (seven) days notice must be given. If notice is sent by other means then at least 30 but not more than 60 days notice must be given.
Petition to vote on an issue
The general membership may circulate a petition to put issues up for a vote at a membership meeting, as specified in the bylaws. There must be at least ten days notice before the given meeting of the issues to be voted on. A valid notice shall be communicated through one of the EMS common communication channels. Such as but not limited to: Members email list, postal mail, main website, etc...
Guests may accompany members in good standing in areas designated for EMS membership, however, guests may not access or operate EMS-owned equipment designated for membership use unless said equipment has been loaned to a partnering organization that the guest is member of.
Elections and Voting in General
In order to more effectively determine the will of the voters It is the policy of EMS that all votes taken using ballots whether they be paper or electronic, will be marked in ranked order starting at 1 for the voters first preference, 2 for the second preference, and on to Nth for the voters last preference. For simple yes or no ballot measures either a 1, or X like mark will be allowed to indicate the voters choice.
For votes taken without ballots only selections between more than two options, e.g. something other than a yes or no vote will require the options to be ranked 1, 2, 3 etc...
Preferential Voting
All ranked votes shall be counted using Single Transferable Vote (STV) with the Meek method. For single winner races this is the same as Instant Runoff Voting (IRV), Some elections or races could also select a Condorcet winner if that is deemed appropriate.EMS feels that these modern voting systems give the voters more effective control over the election results.
Annual Elections
The annual election of the EMS Board of Directors shall be on the last Thursday of February, and 30 days notice of the time, place, and complete list of all items to be voted on shall be sent to the general membership via common communication channels such as postal mail to the last known address of each member in good standing, email, or webpage. For at least the board of directors race and possibly others, those candidates that don't reach the STV quota of votes will not be elected, possibly leaving unfilled seats. This assures each board member will have a strong mandate from the membership.
All meeting and other notices of EMS activities shall be posted to the EMS calendar webpage and available on opt in mailing lists. Special meetings which have fewer than 30 days notice must be announced via USPS first class mail.
All expenses of $50 or over must be approved by the BOD.
All monetary expenditures provisioned by EMS's treasury will require signatures from at least two officers of the board for approval.
Code of Conduct
Active participation in EMS functions is encouraged. Presentations, lectures, announcements, projects, screenings, or other events are open to relevant discussion. Persistent or tangent interruptions, distractions, and unwelcome discharge of office supplies and equipment is highly discouraged.
In order to establish a welcoming social atmosphere, no member shall derogate, harass or otherwise troll another member during EMS functions, although civil debating over technical issues or the merit of works of science fiction are welcomed.
Be excellent to each other, dudes.
Community Relations
EMS may engage in joint ventures and partnership with other organizations in the general community where it is in the interest of all parties involved to promote the purpose of EMS as partnering organizations.

Projecting the contribution of freshmen in
university sports is always an uncertain prospect, both for coaches and fans
alike. Often, it's a new recruit's job to simply gain experience and focus on
learning from upperclassmen so they can help the team in the future. It is rare
that freshmen student-athletes will contribute immediately at a high level.
At least, that's the case most the time. To say
the play of Janae Vander Ploeg, Trianna Henry, and Payton Bock, three freshmen
playing on the Northern Arizona University Lumberjacks volleyball team, is an exception to this rule is an understatement; through a
combination of talent and leadership, these players have made an immediate and
substantial impact on the team and the conference.
The trio made their season debut on August 24 in
a 3-0 sweep of Citadel, and have shown no signs of slowing down. Since then,
the Lumberjacks have posted an 18-3 record, following their recent 3-1 victory
over Idaho State on October 20.
Vander Ploeg and Henry, both exercise science majors who play the outside hitter positions, were not actually
anticipating significant playing time on the university's squad as new recruits.
"With how much we've been playing so far – it
was not anything I expected," Vander Ploeg says. "But I knew if I worked hard
and I just kept going hard every practice, I might have a chance to play on the
team and make an impact."
Bock, a criminology
major and middle blocker for the team, says her 6'3 height and experience made
her one of head coach Craig Choate's top recruits; however, she acknowledges that
it is an honor to start as a freshman, and doesn't want to take that position
for granted.
"Coach always told me that he needed me, so I've
always wanted to live up to those expectations," Bock says. "I came in knowing
that I had a job to do, and I work hard every day trying to be better and
trying to make a bigger impact. It's such a privilege to be on this team."
Bock and Vander Ploeg start and play the
majority of the team's points, whereas Henry plays significant minutes off the
bench. Despite the team's success (the Jacks are currently tied for second in
the Big Sky Conference with Idaho State), Henry admits it took some time to
adjust to the higher level of competition.
"The level of play is completely different,"
Henry says. "Every team is really good and you have to work hard to win each
and every point."
Vander Ploeg cites the support of the
upperclassmen as a critical factor in her smooth transition onto the team.
"Everyone has been great," Vander Ploeg says. "I
think they just know what it's like to be a freshman on the court and
everything that you go through freshman year. They've all been so helpful, and
they're great teammates and great leaders."
Support from off the court has been just as
instrumental in the helping the three adjust to the sport and the university
Henry says her fellow students are always quick
to congratulate players on the team's latest win. She believes this sense of
camaraderie has allowed the players to better adapt and to feel more at home on
"We have so many fans at home games, and they
congratulate you even if they don't know you personally," Henry says. "People
always want to know when the next game is. The community has been so supportive
and awesome."

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane on Thursday rejected a long-term contract sought by Gov. Tom Corbett that would let a British firm manage the $3.5 billion Pennsylvania Lottery, saying parts of it contravene the state constitution and other parts are not authorized by state law.
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane on Thursday rejected a long-term contract sought by Gov. Tom Corbett that would let a British firm manage the $3.5 billion Pennsylvania Lottery, saying parts of it contravene the state constitution and other parts are not authorized by state law.
Her politically fraught decision came after Corbett undertook a nine-month process to find and hire a private company to replace state employees atop one of the nation's largest lotteries. Corbett, who had endured months of criticism about the policy and process from Democrats, settled on London-based Camelot Global Services, the United Kingdom's official lottery operator.
Kane read a short statement at news conference at her Harrisburg office, but declined to take questions from reporters.
"It is important that my office perform its role in the system of checks and balances that our government desperately needs and that our citizens deserve," she said.
Corbett and Camelot each later released statements saying they were disappointed. Corbett also reiterated that his motivation is to ensure that lottery profits keep pace with rising demand for programs for senior citizens that the lottery funds.
For now, it seems the lottery will remain managed by state employees. It's not clear what will happen next with the contract.
Corbett can challenge Kane's decision in court, but would only say Thursday that he did not agree with the attorney general's analysis and was reviewing his legal options. Camelot's bid expires Saturday, and it would not say Thursday whether it will agree to extend it.
House Republican leaders said they expected the Legislature will review Kane's decision, while Democrats and labor unions were effusive.
Sen. John Yudichak, D-14, who district includes Pocono and Tobyhanna townships, criticized Corbett's "misguided plan to privatize one of our most consistent and predictable sources of revenue."
Rep. Mike Sturla, D-Lancaster, called the contract "ill-conceived" and riddled with loopholes and liabilities.
The attorney general's office reviews state contracts for form and legality.
In a memo she sent Thursday to Corbett's Department of Revenue, which oversees the lottery, Kane's office revealed that it had asked Corbett to withdraw the contract because of a pending lawsuit filed by Democratic lawmakers and the union that represents lottery employees. Corbett refused.
Kane's office subsequently decided that state law does not allow the governor to privatize the operation or management of the lottery nor does it allow the expansion of gambling that the contract would permit.
Her office also concluded that the "indirect expenses" that Camelot can claim under the contract — essentially a management fee of up to 0.75 percent of the annual profit, or hundreds of millions of dollars over the life of the deal — are an unconstitutional waiver of the state's "sovereign immunity" protection against paying certain damages or claims.
Corbett's agreement with Camelot is for 20 years. Camelot guaranteed at least $34 billion in profit to the state in that period and could earn another 10 years in extensions if it meets certain performance benchmarks. It was allowed to charge the management fee and receive cash incentives for exceeding its annual profit commitments. Those incentives were capped at 5 percent of annual profits.
Besides the lawsuit, other challenges had awaited.
Treasurer Rob McCord, a Democrat, had warned that he may withhold payment to Camelot unless he was satisfied that the company's still-vague plans to expand the scope of lottery gambling were allowed by current law.
Also, top Republican senators have said they will introduce legislation that prohibits the Pennsylvania Lottery from competing with casinos through online gambling.

What is a license?
It becomes a struggle when trying to deal with a large amount of software with completely different license agreements, some single boxed copies, some multi user agreements about what exactly you have to prove you have a license to use it. Anyone who has taken over another company or got a new role as head of IT will recognise the problems if meticulous paperwork hasn't been stored.
Is it the receipt/invoice, the physical CD, the license agreement envelope, the sales contract, an e-mail conversation, a license certificate, the licensing server, the Help:About screen information?
It becomes even more complicated with OEM software, how much of a PC can you upgrade/replace before the OEM license is not valid. You aren't, for instance, allowed to buy 20 identical PCs with OEM Windows and clone to them a company hard drive image which was made with Windows OEM off one of those machines, or are you?
All of those options have flaws and there is no standard. If software always had a standard certificate or card that explained the terms of the license and how many it was licensed for it could be so much easier. Maybe for SMEs it could be a sticker per PC or a Card per license that gets kept with the PC. Maybe every piece of software should have a licence certificate with the exact details that is stored in a fireproof safe. Maybe there should be an encrypted license file that is sent or downloaded that you install on a standard licensing server which can be set to Audit PCs at a certain interval to make sure concurrency or user count are not exceeded?

Drummer Questlove of the Roots to release memoir
Drummer-producer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of the Roots is adding "author" to his resume.

Stone Temple Pilots fire lead singer Scott Weiland
The Stone Temple Pilots have fired singer Scott Weiland.
In a one-sentence news release Wednesday, publicist Kymm Britton said: "Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland." No other information was provided.
The Associated Press was attempting to reach Weiland for comment.
The band's 1992 debut, "Core," has sold more than 8 million units in the United States. Their hits include "Vasoline," "Interstate Love Song" and "Plush," which won a Grammy in 1993 for best hard rock performance with vocal.
Weiland was also in the supergroup Velvet Revolver with Slash and other musicians.
Hallmark Channel launches family movie showcase
The Hallmark Channel is making a new Friday night home for family movies. The channel announced Wednesday that it will launch the showcase on March 15 with the debut of "Return to Nim's Island," starring Bindi Irwin. The film is a sequel to the 2008 action-adventure movie "Nim's Island."
Bindi is the 14-year-old daughter of the late Steve Irwin, the Australian crocodile hunter.

Other original Friday night movies will include "Space Warriors," with Dermot Mulroney and Danny Glover, set to air in May. The showcase also will include films from the Hallmark Channel library.
9/11 victim's mom upset film used son's last words
A Connecticut woman whose son died in the Sept. 11 attacks at the World Trade Center says she's upset the Oscar-winning movie "Zero Dark Thirty" used a recording of his last words without her permission.
Mary Fetchet of New Canaan told CBS News and the Daily News this week that she was shocked the filmmakers didn't ask if they could use the voicemail her son, Bradley Fetchet, left on her phone while he was on the 89th floor of the World Trade Center's south tower.
The movie about the manhunt for Osama bin Laden begins with the voices of 9/11 victims making their last phone calls. Sony Pictures Entertainment said in a statement that the filmmakers contacted several relatives of 9/11 victims about using the voice recordings.

A Côté Capote
Answered Prayers: The Unfinished Novel
The Capote Reader
Some twenty years ago Truman Capote and I spent part of the summer in Venice. Although acquaintances rather than friends, we ended up seeing each other every day, thanks to my traveling companion, Virginia Chambers. Virginia was an elderly American widow who had lived in Paris since the Twenties—hard-drinking, card-playing, and worldly, nonetheless passionate, intuitive, and bright. Truman was very fond of her: she was outspoken and, more to the point, a great friend of many of the "beautiful" people by whom he set such store. He was also captivated by her gutsy wit in the face of almost total blindness—an affliction which she handled as deftly as if it were a game of miniature golf. On her side, Virginia was thrilled to have Truman around. Listening to Answered Prayers in embryo made a welcome change from Library of Congress records for the blind.
If we had Truman to ourselves, it was largely because his Venetian friends, Count and Countess B., who had lent him part of their palazzo, were away. So apparently were all the other gens chic of his vast acquaintance. Or were they, I wondered, in hiding? For Truman was traveling with a man I'll call Jimmy N., a nice, dim, blue-collar worker whose name could easily be mistaken for a popular poet of the day and whom "Little T." had enticed away from a wife and a job repairing refrigerators in Palm Springs. Instead of keeping this humble love object dark, Truman insisted on showing him off to one after another of his smart friends. This caused problems. A socially ambitious Palm Springs lady had thought Truman said he wanted to bring the poet to dinner and had organized a disastrous evening around Truman's poor friend, who knew even less about poetry than she did.
Next, one of Truman's cult figures had decreed that if Jimmy came to the house, "he had better use the tradesman's entrance." Finally the Italian friends who had been prevailed upon to invite Jimmy for a cruise on their luxurious yacht had done their best to put the Palm Springer at his ease, but to no avail; he would clearly have been happier with the crew.
It was now our turn to cope. A run-through of some of the themes destined for Truman's work-in-progress proved to be the reward for putting up with Jimmy. No problem really, except for constant moans about the lack of air conditioning, comics, TV, above all baked potatoes. Every meal Truman would ask on Jimmy's behalf for baked potatoes—he would describe exactly what he meant—"in their jackets." Yet at every meal crisp little sauteed cubes would be served. Jimmy grew sulkier and sulkier. Finally I volunteered to scour the market for the nearest thing to an Idaho potato, and give the chef very explicit instructions. Such was our anticipation that Truman for once stopped talking about himself…

Loss to Braves Kills Phillies Playoff Hopes
While they are not "officially" out of it yet, the Phillies have dropped to 5 games out of the Wild Card race after 2 straight losses to the Braves. With 4 teams in front of them and only 9 games to go, the Phillies playoff hopes are all but dead.
On the mound today, Cliff Lee put forward a valiant effort, working in and out of trouble throughout the game. Despite his many challenges, he kept the Phillies in striking distance. Lee struck out 11 and allowed only 1 earned run over 8 innings. But the offense did little to help him.
Tim Hudson is a great pitcher, but the Phillies made him look totally unhittable. John Mayberry Jr. and Kevin Frandsen accounted for the only hits in the game for the Phils; yes, 2 hits…total. The only run they scored involved a walk to Jimmy Rollins, a Braves error, a sac bunt and a sac fly.
The sun was quite an issue today as well as clouds rolled in and out over the ballpark. Some plays in the field were solid, and others looked a bit complicated as the shadows wreaked havoc.
And then there was a little controversy over whether or not Frandsen was out of the box when he bunted. He was called out and manager Charlie Manuel apparently thought holding the umpires hand might help his cause:
Or maybe not…
So the Phillies went on to lose the game by a score of 2-1, all but eliminating their playoff hopes.
Here is the full Photo Album from the game.
And the only good news of the day…I won a signed Cole Hamels bat in the Sunday Season Ticket holder Fan Appreciation Day event! Whoo hoo!

Subaru boat???
Posted 30 July 2004 - 11:51 PM
i am thinking of an aluminum boat hull (small... 14ft and under) and then attaching it to an inboard-outboard idea...
i was even thinking of a jet from a ski-do or something...
i'm not expecting it to be fast or anything... just a fun boat that i can say is a subaru...
i have seen many people who say it won't work... an aluminum engine can't take the stress??? i would always respond with "its no ordinary aluminum engine... its a subaru engine!"
but that not holding up to well...
and now for my actaul design... i haven't drawn it up or anything but i got it all in my head...
i want an aluminum twin hull for stability(i know a twin hull in 14ft is very uncomin)i would cover the front of the hull for a big boat look and a place for a gas tank... have the interior of the subaru in the boat... seats, dash, steering wheel, the whole bit... and behind it all a nice subaru engine... i would swap in a fresh water cooling system and what not... i would also remove the air cleaner and have a big tall snorkle for a odd look... maybe a frame over the boat for protection and look...
thanks for all your imput,
PS: i'm not really sure where to post this so move it if i have it in the wrong spot...

Some boat "kit" companies recommend a Subaru engines in their plans.
The fresh water cooling isn't a good idea: your water pump will rust out in no time! The ones I've heard of actually have a cooling system under the "floor" of the boat.
The interior idea sounds unique and definitely an attention getter!
Good luck. I think you're going to have to make your plan a little bigger, but it's do-able!
Posted 31 July 2004 - 09:55 AM
If this is a problem, maybe youy'd have to come up with a way of by passing the Subaru water pump (which appears to be the weakest link).
Posted 31 July 2004 - 11:19 AM
Emily, I'm curious, why would the water pump rust out with fresh water?
my guess would be the lack of rust inhibitor that they put into antifreeze.
Posted 31 July 2004 - 08:59 PM
Antifreeze/coolant has rust inhibiting properties.

good luck on the project though

From what I understand, Subaru engines are a common choice for jets in New Zealand where jet boating is a popular pastime. The weight and low center of gravity are what appeals to me. I figure that an ea82 coupled to a pump would be roughly equivalent to a 60-65hp jet outboard in power and should not weigh any more. Plus the advantage of having the weight of the engine farther forward in the boat, instead of hanging off the back.

my email is firstname.lastname@example.com pics are available if interested.
Posted 12 January 2005 - 05:30 PM
I saw pictures once of a carbureted EJ20 in a jetboat. It looked SICK!
As far as cooling, freshwater cooling wouldn't be a good idea. Too many issues with rust. Also, what if little water-borne creatures get inside the engine and make their home there? There are two ways to cool a marine engine aside from freshwater. Keel cooling like Mudboat mentioned is probably the best because no water is drawn in or out of the boat in order to cool the engine. You can also run a heat exchanger, in which the water outside of the boat is circulated in an exchanger and transfers the heat away from the water that runs through the engine. This setup can have problems with leaks, and of course you get all the risks associated with pumping water into the boat.

I went out in it yesterday afternoon to feed my deer herd in the marsh. I opened it up in a straight stretch for a few seconds. Man that was a rush...
Note: We run our boats through a floating marsh, in ditches that are approximately 4' wide. Your steering had better be up to snuff when running at this speed in a 4' wide ditch.

I don't have a server or a web page to host any pics, but I'm more than willing to email pics to those who may be interested.

It's already been done. I know a guy who runs a Subaphibian in my area. He uses it to ride up to his deer feeders in the marsh so he can fill them without getting his feet wet. It's too wide to run through the ditches, so he uses trails. His wheels are front and rear dualie style ATV gumbo tires to keep from sinking too low in the marsh. His cooling system is both a car radiator with fan and keel cool. No switching from wheels to prop. They all spin together. I'm not sure how he has the drive train rigged, but I'm sure everything is hand made. It is very slow on land and in the water, but it works.
I'll take pictures of it the next time I see him out in the marsh.

Now if you could get enough thrust to make it a hydrofoil, then that would be pretty sweet.
What would also be cool is if you could make a soob hovercraft. I am talking take a soob, remove the wheels and put a hovercraft skirt. THat would be cool.
Posted 13 January 2005 - 03:58 PM
A subaphibian would probably be really slow in water. Depending on how the hull was done it would also be very limited in where you could drive it.
Now if you could get enough thrust to make it a hydrofoil, then that would be pretty sweet.
What would also be cool is if you could make a soob hovercraft. I am talking take a soob, remove the wheels and put a hovercraft skirt. THat would be cool.
I don't know if anyone has ever attempted a hydrofoil with a soob, but I do know there is a guy building a 15' modified tunnel hull with soob and V-drive. I saw the hull after he popped it out of the mold. It weighs about 120 lbs. He figures with the EA-82, 1-1 ratio v-drive and a racing 4-blade prop that it should push it close to 70 mph... I'll snap some pics of that one too when I pass by his shop again.... He said that it should be ready by this spring.
Now on the Subaphibian... The guy keeps it parked on his waterfront property. He drives it directly in the water at the boat launch and travels by water a very short distance (1/4 mile or so) to his hunting lease, which is a floating marsh. He drives it up a ramp he built out of lumber with 2x4 cross members for traction. From there he travels around in the marsh on the wheels. I've seen it running in the water and in the marsh and it travels about 5-7 mph tops either way.. The wheelbase looks to be approximately 8' or so. The hull width is about 3', but the tires stick out the sides about 2' on each side (it is a front and rear dualey). I think that it is strictly rear wheel drive, not 4 wheel drive. It carries 2 people and their gear.
Posted 15 August 2005 - 07:12 PM
I'm in the final stages of completing my soob mudboat and have a bunch of questions that I'd like to throw out to y'all.
Like,....I have an ea71 dual carb engine that I'm using and had a rear seal that was leaking.So I thought , since it was an older engine that I would break it down and inspect rings, bearings, etc. while I was at it....until I realized how much of a pain it's going to be to split the cases to change rings, etc, since the crankshaft is covered up by the cam and lifter housing.. Anyone with some experience with this one?
By the way,..before I stripped it down, this boat ( flat boat design) is 15' long,44'' wide, glass construction with ss trim tabs, direct drive ( u- joint) with a 10x10 prop did right at 40 mph at about 4500rpms.Once I figure out how to post pics,I'll get some up for ya'....
Posted 15 August 2005 - 08:38 PM
... looked like about enough room for a 4 or v6 cylinder engine and not much more.... so I was thinking...
...they could use a Subaru engine!

The advantage to this is that you move at light-airplane speeds, and it can carry quite a bit of weight, but it's licensed as a boat. I figure it'd be perfeet for South Florida along the Indian River, because it's a protected body of water, and I wouldn't have to worry about running down a manatee. They're pretty cool critters, but they don't fly:).
Also, about ten years ago, a publication called WoodenBoat ran a contest for boats designed using the EA81/2 series of engines. They have a website that might have a link to the designs.

I am new to this site, forum and Subarus. First a little about me.
I am a long term auto tech. I own and operate my own
small business in Arizona along the Colorado River just off Interstate 40.
I have been interested in Volkswagon aircooled engines and performance of them for many years. Though I got away from it for a while i am back to the interest again.
I had thoughts of a Subaru swap into a VW years ago. I didn't do any research on the matter.
Recently my son, also a motorhead, has taken a keen interest in Mazda rotories. I was impressed in the rpm and torque capabilities of these engines. However, the cost is not kind to your wallet.
Yesterday I saw a sandrail with a turbo 16v engine, I was informed it was a Subaru and produced 250 hp. Now that is impressive! So here I am to pry into your minds and dig for info.
I own an old 17 ft. boat (1974 Rienel) that has been pushed through the water by a Volvo Penta AQ130 engine (2.0 ltr.) and it is getting very tired. I have contemplated rebuilding and a swap. The rotory was an idea until I looked at the cost of all the parts and engine to make it work.
I now would like info on Subaru engines and possible configurations. I understand that these engines are relatively inexpensive and seem to be durable. I would like to bump hp to somewhere around 150. I am not a big fan of turbos, nor do I need to do 70 mph on the water. I would like dependability foremost and economy to be the main factors.
We are hitting $3/gal. here for regular now, so economy is a factor.
Thank you for having me here. And thank you for any input on this project you may be able to lend.

I'm writing a simple image pre-loader and here are the 2 relevant functions with the simple "constructor" at top:
//Default constructor
var ImagePreLoader = function()
//Init class members
this._m_vImagePaths = null;
this._m_fpOnFinishedLoadAllImages = null;
this._m_nNumImagesPreLoaded = null;
this._m_mPathsToImages = {};
//Preloads all images passed in the 0-indexed vImagePaths string array and calls fpOnFinishedLoadAllImages when they've all finished loading
ImagePreLoader.prototype.PreLoadImages = function(vImagePaths, fpOnFinishedLoadAllImages)
//Shallow-copy the array of path strings. (Cloning the strings is unnecessary since JavaScript strings are immutable.)
this._m_vImagePaths = vImagePaths.slice(0);
//Save the callback
this._m_fpOnFinishedLoadAllImages = fpOnFinishedLoadAllImages;
//Create images from each path, causing them to load.
for (var i = 0; i < this._m_vImagePaths.length; ++i)
//Set image to load
var pLoadingImage = new Image();
pLoadingImage.onload = this._OnImageLoad();
pLoadingImage.src = this._m_vImagePaths[i];
//Save the Image object
this._m_mPathsToImages[this._m_vImagePaths[i]] = pLoadingImage;
//No images have been pre-loaded yet
this._m_nNumImagesPreLoaded = 0;
//Internal function handling a single image pre-loading. Invokes the callback if all have been preloaded.
ImagePreLoader.prototype._OnImageLoad = function(value)
if (this._m_nNumImagesPreLoaded === this._m_vImagePaths.length && this._m_fpOnFinishedLoadAllImages !== null)
I'm then calling it with:
//Test pre-loader
var vImagePaths = ["textures/Ball.png", "textures/Block.png"];
var pImagePreLoader = new ImagePreLoader();
pImagePreLoader.PreLoadImages(vImagePaths, OnPreloadFinished);
As written, this code works as I want it to. Specifically "this" refers to the ImagePreLoader object in _OnImageLoad.
But what's confusing me is this line:
pLoadingImage.onload = this._OnImageLoad();
If I remove the parentheses after OnImageLoad like:
pLoadingImage.onload = this._OnImageLoad;
then "this" seems to refer to the global space while in OnImageLoad. If I'm understanding things correctly, that's because OnImageLoad is not being called on an object whenever it gets invoked. What I don't understand is why putting the parentheses "fixes" it. (Or even if it's actually fixing it or just appearing to work for this case, but actually doing something dangerous.)
Any chance I got get an explanation of exactly what's going on? Thanks for any help!
I think I figured it out...
I was actually immediately calling the function with
So that meant "this" was valid since I was actually calling it on this. (This is now super-obvious to me, but somehow I missed it.)
The solution I found was to attach the ImagePreLoader (this) as a property to the Image object so it could be retrieved in the callback.
pLoadingImage._m_pPreImageLoader = this;
Sorry for the wasted question. For some reason I convinced myself I was dealing with some quirk of JavaScript variable scope, but it was just something super-obvious. :/

I am the badger, goo goo g'joob
Keynote: Bold self expression and reliance, keeper of stories
The badger is a giant of the weasel family. Those with this totem should study the weasel as well. The badger is grey, black and buff, with a white stripe from the nose to the back of its head. This in itself is very symbolic of how open it is, the keeper of much light and knowledge of other animals and the Earth.
The badger may look fat, but it is muscular and powerful. Its outer skin is loose, so it is difficult for bites from other animals to injure it. Its own jaws are exceedingly strong. The jaws are symbols of powerful self expression. This ties the badger to the mysteries of the 'word' – particularly the magic of storytelling.
I would ask you to remember only this one thing," said Badger. "The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them. If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive. That is why we put these stories in each other's memory. This is how people care for themselves."
The badger is a remarkable digger. Fast and quick, it can dig beneath surfaces rapidly…This ties badgers to all earth spirits and gnomes of lore. It also hints at the ability tosee beneath the surface of all things and people. It lives in an underground complex of burrows called "earths" [UK: setts]. It has several living chambers, along with latrine and storage chambers. These earths hint at the stories beneath the outer, the inner places and homes of the outer world.
The badger is active both day and night. It is a carnivorous animal, living primarily on rodents such as rabbits…and squirrels and other underground dwellers…because of this it can be thought of as the keeper of the stories of other animals.
It is basically an unsociable animal. It does not "relate" well to others – even its own kind. This might be why stories are its symbolic means of communication. It is often easier for those with badger medicine to relate through stories than have to do it directly.
The young badgers, usually two or three, are born in May or June. The family always separates in the fall, when the young and the father move to find their own homes. Sometimes the father will help with raising the young, but as a whole badgers are loners and solitary. They are comfortable within themselves and very self-reliant. They can teach this or help those with this totem to teach it to others.
Because the badger is such a powerful digger it has knowledge of things beneath the earth. This includes minerals, roots and other plants and herbs. This also makes the badger a dynamic healer. Sometimes the badger is overly aggressive, but the technique is usually effective. Badger can teach the long-forgotten knowledge of roots and their mystical and healing powers.
The badger is bold and ferocious, and it never surrenders. If a badger has come into your life you should do some examination. Are you or those around you digging deep enough? It may indicate a need to get beneath the surface. It may reflect a time of great connection to the earth and its animal spirits. It may be telling you to draw upon the stories that intrigued you and held you fast during childhood. They may be symbolic of things going on or about to go on in your current life. Whenever badger shows up, there will be opportunities to develop self-expression and reliance. It speaks of a time to begin a new story about your life.
Crow and Weasel by Barry Lopez
See what happens when I tell my mother about finding a badger?

I don't go to other team's boards since frankly, I don't want to. I have no interest in seeing what the Cardinals fans are saying about the Reds. I don't care what the Cubs fans are saying. Etc. I come here for the camaraderie of fans of MY team.
Don Cameron (06-06-2013),LexRedsFan (06-06-2013),RedlegJake (06-10-2013)
Face it, all of us Reds fan's, they are stiil not ready for, "Prime Time".
RedlegJake (06-08-2013),remdog (06-08-2013)
I know there has always been Cardinal fans on here, but I believe it's getting worse.
Not the Cards fans on here that bug me but the "give up" Reds "fans"...
RedFanAlways1966 (06-09-2013)
Another which I know someone else has probably said on this thread already is; the Cardinals get all of the calls. The inconsistency of the strike zone in that first game on Friday night was horrendous. I can't bear to watch the Cardinals and their whiny, temper tantrum throwing childish behavior. It is no surprise that they get all the breaks.
Do not fear or fret Reds fans they will not play above their heads all year, eventually reality will set in. If we can stay within a few games we will be in position to move ahead of them.
I wonder if STL still looks at BP as a loudmouth crap stirrer.

Universal's minions ran away with the box office for the second week in a row.
With $44.8 million in domestic ticket sales Friday through Sunday, the animated sequel "Despicable Me 2" outdid the debuts of the Adam Sandler comedy "Grown Ups 2" and director Guillermo del Toro's monsters-versus-robots action flick "Pacific Rim."
The weekend's No. 1 movie featuring Steve Carell as ex-supervillain Gru made another $55.5 million overseas. That brought its global two-week total to $472.4 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
"This has become the July film to beat right now," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box-office tracking division of Hollywood.com. "There's something about the minions that audiences just love."
Sony was pleased with Sandler's second-best movie opening of his career with $42.5 million in sales in the U.S. and Canada (His best domestic opening was "The Longest Yard" from 2005 with $58.6 million over four days). Overseas, the comedy brought in $1.7 million.
The movie brings together former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal as a bumbling police officer with a host of comedy All-Stars including Chris Rock and David Spade playing awkward parents.
The third-place finish of "Pacific Rim," with $38.3 million in receipts, represented a disappointing start domestically for Warner Bros. and partner Legendary Entertainment. Figures released by the studio showed it doing better overseas.
The movie took in $53 million from 38 markets outside the U.S. and Canada, representing about half its overseas footprint. It has yet to open in China or Japan, the home of the movie's co-star, Rinko Kikuchi.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released today.
1. "Despicable Me 2," $44.8 million. ($55.5 million international).
2. "Grown Ups 2," $42.5 million. ($1.7 million international).
3. "Pacific Rim," $38.3 million. ($53 million international).
4. "The Heat," $14 million. ($8.1 million international).
5. "The Lone Ranger," $11.1 million. ($12.7 million international).
6. "Monsters University,"$10.6 million. ($30.2 million international).
7. "World War Z," $9.4 million. ($22.4 million international).
8. "White House Down," $6.2 million. (41.8 million international).
9. "Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain," $5 million.
10. "Man of Steel," $4.8 million. ($13.3 million international).

We are thrilled to announce Paula Todora as our Spar for the Spurtle winner! Paula wowed the judges with her Steel Your Heart Away Eggrolls. Her eggrolls are filled with steel cut oats, apples, walnuts, raisins, and apple pie spices, then rolled in a wrapper and deep fried to crispy golden deliciousness. These would make a wonderful appetizer or dessert. You could also eat them for a very decadent breakfast. Congratulations Paula!
Steel Your Heart Away Eggrolls
- 1 ½ quarts Peanut Oil
- 1 cup Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats
- 1 cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk
- ¾ cup Water
- 2 large Granny Smith Apples
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp Cloves
- 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 2 Tbsp Pure Maple Syrup
- ¼ tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped Walnuts
- 1/2 cup Golden Raisins
- 12 Eggroll Wrappers
- ¼ cup Powdered Sugar
Soak oats in coconut milk and water in refrigerator overnight. Heat peanut oil in wok or large pot to 350°F, using a thermometer. Peel, core, and chop apples into 1/2 inch pieces and place in small bowl; sprinkle with lemon juice and stir to coat.
In a 2 quart saucepan on high heat, combine soaked oats, apples with lemon juice, spices, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring, add salt and reduce heat to medium. Cook 10 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally.
Add walnuts and raisins; stir well and continue to cook, covered, on medium heat 5-10 more minutes, stirring occasionally. When apples are tender and oats are cooked, transfer to a bowl that is sitting inside an ice-filled bowl to decrease temperature before filling eggroll wrappers.
With a corner of an eggroll wrapper pointed towards you, place 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the middle and spread from side to side, leaving 1 inch on sides. Pull up bottom corner and snugly cover filling. Bring each side corner over, and pat edges of remaining top corner with water. Roll to seal, making sure the end is tucked under. Repeat for remaining egg rolls.
Cook three at a time in heated oil for 1 minute on each side, or until golden and crispy. Drain well on paper towels. Repeat with remaining egg rolls. When ready to serve, cut each diagonally and stand one up; Sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar. Serve warm with a dipping sauce of chilled orange marmalade mixed with honey, if desired.
