Lower mustang makin noises
I own a lowered 95 mustang GT that has been lowered 3 inches with 4 eibach coils and koni shocks. It has 80k orig miles and has never been in any accidents. In the last 8 months I have replaced almost all of the components in my suspension and had camber casters installed to correct the negitve camber in the front end.
Now the problem I am having is that the drive shaft is so much closer to the body of the car when i give it the gusto i can feel the drive shaft rubbing on what appears to be the emergency brake cable near the rear of thr car. The point of contact is clearly marked into the drive shaft in three or four places. I have considered having the body moved to give more room . If any one has experienced this or something like it I would realy like some input please.

Are you sure it is the emergency brake cables that are rubbing as the cables are routed away from the driveshaft at the rear of the car?
What type of traction control are you using? Being lowered this way, hard acceleration is most likely causing excessive pinion angle tilt pushing the driveshaft closer to the tunnel than it should be.
You might want to consider modified/adjustible rear control arms with hardened bushings and some type of adjustible pinion snubber.
Let me know if this makes sense.
I have replaced the snubber with an shorter harder one but I do not know much about the dynamics of control arms or bushings. I had actually mentioned my control arms to the ford mechanic but he quickly discounted it saying" it shouldn't affect the car in the way I described".
However short of a new drive shaft, control arms, and diff everything else is new.
I am willing to entertain enlargement of the tunnel. But I wouldn't have a clue where to get that type of modification, not so many reputable hot rod shops in Canada as the good ole USA , too many woosies here I guess.
I have since had the cables rerouted and the exhaust adjusted ...... but the rubbing and hopping continues much to my dismay.
If you think control arms are the way, can you recommend a good brand , or should i use motor sport? Hell any advice at this point is really appreciated.

You are going to have to determine what and where it is rubbing. A tunnel enlargemant is going to be expensive and unecessary in my opinion. Either rebushed, modified or aftermarket control arms will not allow as much pinion wrapup and the moving of the shaft closer to the tunnel. They will also maintain better pinion angle on acceleration/deacceleration.
Aftermarket adjustable control arms on the rear (just upper would do the trick) will allow you to bring everything back into alignment, and should eliminate the problem. Think about it this way -- you needed camber casters to correct the front end because the arms are now at different angles than designed because of the drop. You dropped the rear end to, right? So you need to alter the length of the upper (or lower) arms to make the rear sit closer to the same angle it would stock. It's a little more complicated than that because of the driveshaft. Basically you need the pinion shaft (where the driveshaft connects to the rear axle) parallel or just a little "nose down" from the transmission. Changing the control arm lengths will get you there. You can buy all four adjustable or just upper or lower, either will do what you need. I over simplified this a bit, but this will get you in the ball park and will work. Trying to figure all the angles is a lot of work and can be confusing -- this "rule of thumb" approach is easier and as I said -- it will work fine for a street car. A road racer would need to be a bit more exact.

However, I took a hundred rounds of my 230 LRN (Lead Round Nose) and she ate that stuff just fine. Only had a few FTFs. I've read that Kahr likes for us to put 250 rounds in them for the break in period so I'm about halfway there. I'm a 1911 guy so the recoil is a little snappier, which I don't mind. I enjoyed this time much more due to the feeding of the LRN. Looking forward to getting past the 250 as I'd feel better about carrying this. Until then I'll stay with my LCR in .357Mag or Sig 229 in .357Sig.

c. Start your sneek like Elmer Fudd be vewy vewy quiet.
d. Use any cover you can and never move when the deer is looking your direction.
e. Drop your pack and take your shoes off when you get to about 150 yrds. This will force you to slow down and make you a lot quieter.
f. If your lucky enough to not have the wind swirl on you or have other deer bust you, when you get to a comfortable shooting distance wait until the deer stands up (or shoot him bedded if hes positioned so you can hit both lungs.) then let it fly.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|sure hasn't but if he still hasn't got it lined out 4 years later...I don't think he will.
|have you looked at the date?
i have a 73 nova 350 4 speed with a tunnel ram, 450 Holley's. i had the same bogging problem. i found some answers in a Chevy high performance mag. aug 2006 in performance q&a sec. it says to use some stainless steel mechanics wire put a small piece in each main circuit air bleed, located in the venturi area above booster. make them long enough to bend down the outside of the carb. idle air bleed is located toward the out board side of carb,the main is toward the inboard side. i use my vacuum advance and my timing is set at 37 total with vacuum advance off and plugged. they give a complete setup in the book. i would call and order that issue. or i could e-mail the article to you.
Re: tunnelram
Don't compare yourcar to your friend's, BECUSE ITS NOT THE SAME, you already found that out. Pro's can't even build two engines that are the same, how can we? Everyone is giving you good advice, take this information and study it, ready some good tech articles, ask some more questions, get some more advice and decide on a plan of action. Only change one thing at a time and note the results.
Consult with the cam manufacture as to what stall, gear ratio, tire size,l etc that he recommends for that grind. Re-read the advice that was given to you today and see how that equates.
Good luck.
You can make that tunnel ram work. It is not ideal for street use but can be made to run.
Your power band should start ~3200, I would think a stall in the 3000 range would be a minimum. 3.73 gears would also be minimum.
You said you upgraded to a larger acc pump, right? Did you change the acc cam as well? If you didn't you really haven't changed anything. You will have to find what works for your combo as far as with acc cams. Your bog is cause by a lean condition (as described above). You may need to change your squirters as well. It would take a lot of typing to explain the whole tuning process. Does the suggestions above make sense to you? I don't know how much carb experience you have. I don't want to get to carried away.
With your stall you need to understand, that those long runners (tunnel ram) make very little torque down low, this means a converter that would stall at 2500 behind a non tunnel rammed car may stall only at 1800 behind the tunnel ram. Add a tranny cooler if you don't already have one and increase the stall to at least 3000-3200 (if you are buying off the shelf stalls).
You have a relatively small engine so it will be a little more crucial to get tings just right if you want it to be fun to drive. With a larger engine and a tunnel ram it is easier/less finicky, more forgiving. They make more torque so it covers up some of the downfalls of the tunnel ram.
One last thing, I think a solid flat cam would have been a better choice for this application. To make any power you are going to have to spin that 350 and the hyd roller is not the best type of cam for that. Your effective power-band will be from 3500-6200 if everything is tuned perfect. With a solid flat tappet you could stretch that power-band out to 6700 (maybe more). Tunnel rams are made for higher RPM operation.
Hang in there this is part of hot rodding, make it work.
OH, one very important question, what kind of compression are you running?
Let us know how it goes.
You should recurve the distributor. Run it with 18o distributor advance and 16 initial. I would get a Mallory Unilite with mechanical advance also. Look on Ebay, they are cheap. You might need more accelerator pump shot as well.
Gears will help too. They aren't that expensive, and will make a big difference.
it idels around 1100-1200-and im not sure of the initial timing.
i dont have the vaccum hooked up to the distributor,im going to run it with it unhooked. i never liked it hooked up. my friend runs his unhooked. my stall is around 2600-2800 i belive, i was running a 488/510 cam now its 560 lift so i believe my stall should be ok but im planning on going to around 3200-3500 soon
my trans is a 350 automatic, i have 2.73 gears and yes i know i got to changed that lol .. my tires are 295/50r15 my friend runs the same size tires as i do, and yes it kinda spits when i hit the gas going around 50 or so, thanks for all the advice guys, robbie
That is classic performance for a racing manifold used in off-idle service. When you hit the throttle, vacuum in the manifold drops, charge velocity falls drastically and the gasoline that was being carried as a mist/vapor condenses and falls out of the stream. The usual way of overcoming this is to overkill the accelerator pump and dump in a huge amount of gas to compensate for the bog. Not the best way to do it but it works. Forget gas mileage, there won't be any!! Also sounds like you need a higher stall speed torque converter. If you don't have at least a 2000 get one. Better yet for your rather radical combo, get a 2400. Also, you MUST use vacuum secondary carbs - if you have double pumpers, you simply have WAY too much carburation for the street.
One thing you might consider is to reduce the volume of the tunnel ram, especially if your car is mainly a Sonic Drive-In cruiser. Get some Devcon epoxy putty (the industrial stuff, not the hardware blister-pack tubes) and fill the box so there is only a small volume below each carb plus a small (1") crossover between the two plenums. Look at Chrysler's old cross ram manifold they made in 1960-61. Long runners, two carbs and small plenums on a production, street driven car. Reducing plenum size will vastly improve street-ability and won't affect the top end power that much. The power increase from those manifolds is primarily from the length of the runners. There is no need for the huge plenum volume, other than ease of manufacture.
Here is some reading material on the subject.

I have run dual quads on almost everything I've ever owned, even my daily driven work truck had a warmed over 440 with a tunnel ram.
I found that certain carbs worked in certain conditions, and the tuning made all the difference. I ran two Holley 450 carbs on the work truck in the picture, it ran better than any single 4bbl I know of, cold starts, driveability, everything was pretty damned good.
The keys to MY tuning were using stock springs in the distributor for the advance, running 36-38 degrees total timing, and no vacuum advance lines were hooked up. I never had any troubles whatsoever.
I ran over a dozen small block Chevs with tunnel rams, and- with the exception of my two present cars, had most of my street cars I've owned with 2X4bbls for the last 15 years.
It's the combination you need- parts combination and tuning combination, and once you get it you won't go back, IMO...?
Hey Robbie,
Are you running an automatic in that thing? If you are and are using the stock torque converter that could be your problem. The stock converter will work against the engine that you have in there, until you get into your power range (2800 - 8000). One of the other thing that you might try doing is adding a little more air into your idle circuit by drilling a 1/16 hole in the primary butterfly of the carb ( I'm assuming that your running a Holley). Changing the pump shot should also be considered. Just a few considerations to make, hope this helps.
Need more info.
What is your idle RPM?
What is your initial timing set at?
If you have vacuum advance, are you connected to the Ported or Full vacuum fitting?
What stall speed are you running?
What trans are you using?
What rear gears?
What diameter rear tires?
When stomping on the "Go pedal" at 50-60 does it spit back thru the carbs or just fall on it's face?
need help????with tunnelram set-up on sb350..
I have built a 350 sb with a tunnelram. The problem im having is after i start it up and it warms up,it wants to bog when i start to go,and when i put in in gear its wants to cut off at time. now i know alot of you guys are going to say that running a set-up like this aint for the streets but a friend of mine has one and his runs good.,but he cant offer me no advice cause the guy that helped him has moved so im turning to ya''ll. his car is almost the same as mine, both are novas, and we have the same tunnelram from summit with 2-440cfm carbs. but with his, he changed the nozzles in his carbs and changed the accelerator pumps from what came in it to 50cc diaphragms. we both have 64cc heads,mine are cast iron,his are aluminum with the same kind of vaules. he went with a 6oo lift roller hyd cam,i went with a 560 lift roller hyd cam.. after i started the engine i set the timing at 36 total advance ,it will idle perrty good. i have checked my vaccum with the car in gear and it was between 8-9. i changed the power vaules . it had 8.5 so i went with 5.5. i was told that was good. well any help would be great before i start changing parts, here is my set-up.
tunnel-ram with 2-450cfm carbs(rpm range 2800-8000)
hyd-roller cam 288/286-230/230-560/560 lobe 110
part number 12-450-8 comp cam(rpm range 2500-6000)
64cc sportsman heads
flat-tops piston with 4 eyes
high flow fuel pump
msd distributor part#8360
its not skipping ,it just falls on its face when i hit it. even when im running about 50 or 60 it will stummble when i give it mor gas.
thanks robbie

Until the reviewers disclose what perks ($$$) they receive in return for reviewing a gun and until manufacturers disclose what perks they give in return for getting a review of their gun done, I don't pay a lot of attention to the conclusions or opinions of the reviewers. I do read reviews, but its more for the features on the gun, not the reviewer's opinion of those features.
I'd be more likely to believe a review from individuals or organizations if they bought the gun off the shelf for retail price (like Consumer Reports does for appliances) instead of the manufacturers shipping them to a magazine for free - and then selling the gun to the reviewer afterward for a "discount".
When was the last time you saw a gun get a bad review in a magazine that had a full page ad for the same gun in the same issue?

Hi guys,
I've come to a fork in the road in my Fett build. I've been asking around regarding which Jetpack harness to get and I have gotten very mixed opinions. Some say the soft ones will ride up your chest while trooping while others say the metal ones hurt your back after awhile.
What do you think?
I'm deciding between BBF's metal, screen accurate harness and MOW's vest like harness. The accuracy doesn't really matter to me, the only thing I'm concerned about the BBF metal harness is the price tag. I'm certain that it is a very quality item, but for once in this build I'm trying to cut corners financially. I already have an original US dive buckle, so the buckle is taken care of.
Should I go with MOW's and make adjustments according to how it fits me? Or should I just wait and save for the BBF one?
Note: I absolutely believe both products are great. I am in no way trying to say otherwise. I'm just looking at it from my bank account's perspective for once lol.

Professor turns colleagues into action figures
Release Date: 2/25/2010
Clarksville, Ark. --- Q: What do these things have in common? G.I. Joe, Hulk Hogan, Luke Skywalker, Gene Simmons from Kiss, Spider-Man, and Ozarks President Dr. Rick Niece.
A: They are all action figures.
Action figures? Even Dr. Niece? Yes, even our beloved president, turned into miniaturized 3-D movable art (with bendable joints), thanks to the hobby crafting of Sociology professor Dr. Jesse Weiss.
Dr. Jesse Weiss poses with the action figure Dr. Jesse Weiss.
"I've always liked toys," says Dr. Weiss. "I started a collection of action figures in college, a mishmash of superhero and sports star figures – everyone from Michael Jordan to Batman – and rock stars." He points to the bookshelves in his office, which also contain incredibly lifelike figures of Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Joey Ramone of the Ramones.
"Then one day I noticed that you could take them apart without destroying them," he says. "I always enjoyed painting models as a kid, so I started making new characters out of the parts, professional wrestlers or movie characters that didn't already have action figures based on them."
Dr. Weiss says once he mastered using a dremel tool to be able to carve the figures, and sculpey, a clay-like product that hardens when heated, he was able to create new hair, beards, and glasses. "I did one of my dad, my brothers and myself," he said. "Since then I've done Dr. Niece, Dr. [Sean] Coleman, and some others. It's kind of random – you can't really do one for everybody. I have done a few on commission through eBay, though."
The Dr. Rick Niece action figure, still in its "original" box.
He said he did one figure based on the father of a tattoo artist from Fayetteville who had been a wrestler. "My wife and I have standing offers for free tattoos from that guy," Dr. Weiss says. "We haven't taken him up on it yet."
He says he has a large plastic bin with drawers filled with spare parts. "The figures I use are from a manufacturer called Jakks Pacific. Unfortunately, they quit making the figures last December, but I have enough spares to keep me going for awhile."
Toy modification has made its way into Dr. Weiss's sociology classes, where he often uses a "Barbie Bash" to teach about gender roles to his students. "After Christmas I buy up a lot of Barbies off the clearance racks," he says. "The students are asked to examine gender roles and to redesign their Barbies against gender roles. So on display downstairs are the Stay-At-Home Ken doll and the President of the United States Barbie, among others."
At the end of the interview for this piece, Dr. Weiss presented its astonished author with a remarkable sight – a Web Site Content Media Writer Don Lee action figure, its fingers curled just right to tackle the keyboard.

Clement Lachance
Racing legend Clem Lachance, age 80, of Lake Carmel passed away suddenly on December 12, 2012, while visiting friends and family in Quebec, Canada. Clem was more than just the owner/driver of the "Mad Frenchman" racecars. To his friends in the drag racing community he was The Mad Frenchman.
He was born in Quebec, Canada, on May 8, 1932. In 1954 he came with his brother Henri-Louis to the United States, where he joined the US Army in 1955 and became a citizen of the USA. His passion for racing began at the young age of 16 on the streets of Quebec. But it wasn't just the speed that motivated him. He loved to work on cars and build engines that would do more than anyone thought possible. His 6 cylinder Maverick "Mad Frenchman" could take the ¼ mile in under 10 seconds!
It was that skill that enabled him to join the Teamsters Union in Tarrytown, NY. He began as a mechanic working on the trucks for A & P, then went on to work on the car carriers for GM at Anchor Motor Freight until he retired in 2000.
But he didn't retire from racing or from building spectacular cars. He continued to work on his racecar and was still racing last season.
Through the years his car has graced the pages of multiple racing magazines. In October 2011 he was inducted into the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame in Henderson, NC. He was predeceased by his wife, Jean Beaulieu Lachance. He is survived by two sons, Raymond Lachance of Patterson and Denis Lachance of New Fairfield, CT, two daughters, Debra Johnson of Plano, TX and Elizabeth Wolfe of Carmel, NY, six sisters, seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Calling hours will be on Friday December 21, 2012, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at Cargain Funeral Home 10 Fowler Ave Carmel, NY. A Funeral Service will be on Saturday December 22, 2012, at 11 a.m. at the Mission Church, Rte 52, Holmes, NY. Burial will follow at the Raymond Hill Cemetery.

Collard Cards Two 71s to Put Phoenix in Contention
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Senior Joseph Collard (Marinette, Wis.) carded a pair of 1-under par rounds of 71 on Monday at Stone Ridge Golf Club, putting the Green Bay men's golf team in contention just three shots off the pace at the John Piper Intercollegiate. The 54-hole tournament hosted by Bowling Green State University will conclude on Tuesday morning with the final 18 holes.
At 2-under par, Collard is tied for fifth place and is also just three shots off the individual leader, Marshall's Logan Lagodich. Marshall and Valparaiso are tied atop the tournament leaderboard at 577 (+1) while the Phoenix is alone in third at 580 (+4). Green Bay was fifth after the opening 18 holes before posting 3-under par 285 – the best round of the day – in the afternoon.
Coming off a victory in the Green Bay Invitational, junior Tom Boockmeier (Green Bay, Wis.) opened with a 75 on Monday before bouncing back and carding a 3-under par 68 in the afternoon to vault into a tie for seventh place.
Freshman Joe Du Chateau (Fond du Lac, Wis.), fresh off a third-place finish in the Green Bay Invitational that earned him a spot in the team's top-five, shaved five strokes off his score from round one to round two. Du Chateau's rounds of 76 and 71 put him in a tie for 12th entering the final 18 holes.
Sophomore Gene Kiela (Plymouth, Wis.) is tied for 22nd (73-76=149) and senior Dan Ozga (Edgerton, Wis.) is tied for 31st to round out the Phoenix golfers.

Raising the pension age and the future of work
18 May 2014 , 9:00 AM by Rob Minshull
One of the biggest talking points from the Budget was the raising of the pension age. If you have not already retired, you may be looking at working for longer.
But what does that mean in terms of the work people might be doing or expected to do in the future?

text: Cali producer/remixer Day (a/k/a DJ Day ) has been doing quality work for years - as anyone familiar with mid-'00s sample collage singles like "What Planet What Station" and "Gone Bad" or his unofficial remix of Erykah Badu's "Honey" knows. With "Mama Shelter," a track from his forthcoming Land of 1000 Chances LP, Day shows his skills at pairing disparate sampled sources undiminished. But here the emphasis isn't on b-boy friendly break-age but shifting moods, as a lilting French vocal gives way to a philosophical refrain ("Once you begin to make it/The harder it is to take it...") and a sparse final section.

Grandma drops baby off at wrong address
(5/04/06 - OMAHA, NE) - What started out as a possible child abandonment case in Omaha on Wednesday turned out to be a misunderstanding, police say.
Police received a call from a woman who said another woman she didn't know had driven up to her home, handed her a baby boy and a diaper bag and left.
It turns out, the woman was the baby's grandmother and thought she was dropping the baby off at day care, but she had the wrong address, officers said.
Police said the incident was a misunderstanding, and no charges will be filed.
The infant was placed in foster care for several hours until his mother showed up at police headquarters Wednesday afternoon after seeing pictures of her baby on television news.

Okay, here's what I don't like about going to church:
I feel my faith is a deeply personal thing, and get no joy / thrill / happiness / satisfaction from sitting in a room full of people and aping some dogma. I've yet to see a convincing Bible passage that says I'm better off doing so.
This doesn't mean that I'm not spiritual.
It means that I get incredibly uncomfortable around people that are (or say they are) and want to make a show of it.
I have nothing against those that do like to participate in an organized way - to each his own. If that's what it takes for them to get theirs, than more power to them. Likewise, I don't care what form that church takes - Catholic, Protestant, "Stealth Protestant Mall Church", Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, or Druid. They're all equal.
I beleive in religion through acts. When I support my family, help in the community, spend time with my loved ones, spend a day in the woods in a treestand, wheel down a scenic trail, or participate in charity those are part of my "worship".
This is the Pub. Leave common sense at the door.

I haven't read the last 3 pages....
personally, I'm not against going. I'm a C and E as you call them. I am religious, but don't believe in organized religion, if that makes sense. I'm religious on my own time, which usually isn't Sunday mornings. I don't feel the need to congrigate with others to show that I'm religious or to show that I believe in God.

Usually C&E Christians don't knwo they are C&E..
What is it about organized religion that has turned you off? What specifically?
I don't go to showboat either, I got nothing to prove to anyone (so my purpose in going is to receive from God, and to give whatever I can to his people).

I am a part of a team of 35 people who spent 1.5 years starting a church, which has been publically open for almsot 2 months, and I am always interested in knowing where people are at, I figure if the church exists, it might as well be useful and applicable. We endeavor to reverse mistakes of our past. But the point of this thread was not to trick people into an advertisement, I only mention it because you asked.

As I stated in my first post, we are looking for an evangelical church that is based on scripture and not willing to compromise God's message to please the masses.
I'm not quoting idiots who promote unsafe recovery strap techniques anymore. :miff:

19 years of being a good catholic, but in the last couple of years I started to see the hypocrisy. I saw how politics and religion seem to go hand in hand. I also found myself questioning what I was being taught more and more.
So, no more church for me. I fell I don't need someone else telling me how to be a good person, I can screw that up just fine on my own.
I am married to a woman who is a recognized minister of her faith. I think that is good enough for the whole family. (oh, and she does not push what she believes on others, at least not our friends and those we know as a couple)
So, in a nutshell, why I don't go to church. Hypocrisy, Politics and the realization that I do not need it to be happy in life.

What church does your wife minister in? What do you suppose keeps her going?
Do you think that churches are able to do things that bring happiness/joy into the lives of those involved? If so, what do you wish your church would have been more about? Helping people?

I salute you for doing some Voice of Parishoner (VoP) on this. It is something that is integral if churches are to continue to attract new members. With an open-minded leader such as yourself, I have a feeling your church will do well.

text: I can't believe I am asking this but what can you tell me about the H3. I will probably sell my Jeep this summer and get something with a little more luxury and space and it seems like used H3's are priced about the same as Wrangler unlimiteds. Not sure I would get one but if I ever did it would have to be a stick and I would probably try to get leather. How well do they hold up? I know the I-5 is under powered but does it get decent miles? Any cool features?

Lessons from the U.S. War in Iraq: 10 Years After the Invasion
University of Chicago Institute of Politics
Wednesday, October 23, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM (CDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Cosponsored by the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society, the Center for International Studies, CIS's Norman Wait Harris Fund and the Committee on International Relations.
Few events of the last decade have loomed as large in U.S. politics as the U.S. decision to invade Iraq in March 2003. The pre-emptive invasion and its justifications, including the belief in the presence of weapons of mass destruction, ignited debates over the threshold for U.S. military action abroad and the quality of U.S. intelligence. The invasion led to the overthrow of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, but it also unleashed an insurgency and a wave of sectarian violence. Together, they directly claimed the lives of more than 4,000 coalition military personnel and more than 150,000 Iraqis. Finally, while the war paved the way for a democratically elected regime in Iraq, it also damaged the credibility and popularity of President George W. Bush at home, and proved to be a key factor in Barack Obama's successful campaign for president in 2008.
Ten years later, what is the lasting legacy of the Iraq War? What went wrong? What went right? What lessons should be gleaned from the conflict? And what impact will the war have on the long-term prospects for the people of Iraq—and for U.S. interests in the region?
Our panelists: Iraqi journalist Ali Adeeb al Naemi, former U.S. Ambassador James Jeffrey, retired U.S. Army colonel Peter Mansoor, noted former CIA intelligence analyst and author Kenneth Pollack and Emma Sky, Senior Fellow at Yale University's Jackson Institute, where she lectures on the New Iraq and Middle East Politics.
* * *
This event is free and open to UChicago students, faculty, staff and the public. If you cannot attend, please cancel your ticket order on Eventbrite so others may register. Doors will open at 5:15 p.m. After 5:45 p.m., if you have not arrived, your seat will be given to a guest waiting on standby on a first-come, first-served basis.

Quick Turnaround Brings Phoenix to Detroit
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Continuing a stretch of seven games in 16 days, the Green Bay men's basketball team plays at Detroit on Sunday at 12 p.m. CT, just over 36 hours after dispatching Wright State on Friday night for its first road win of 2011-12. Now in seventh place, the Phoenix is just one game out of third place in the loss column in the Horizon League standings.
In Friday's 53-48 win at WSU, the Green Bay inside-outside combination of 7-foot-1 sophomore Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) and 5-foot-10 Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) helped the Phoenix pull out the win in the second half. Brown had a second-straight double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds and Sykes scored 10 of his 13 points after halftime.
Brown continues to lead the Phoenix in scoring (13.9) after his 18th double-figure scoring game of the season. The sophomore also ranks second in the conference in rebounds (7.9) and blocked shots per game (3.0). Meanwhile, Sykes has reached double figures in nine of the last 10 games and is eight in the league in scoring in conference play at 12.7 points per game.
The last meeting between Green Bay and Detroit handed the Phoenix one of its two home losses in 2011-12. The Titans won 80-73 exactly one year ago from Sunday's win, with Horizon League Preseason Player of the Year Ray McCallum scoring 16 points. Brown had 17 points points and nine rebounds to lead four Phoenix players in double figures.
The game will also be broadcast live on WDUZ The Fan with the pregame show beginning at 11:45 a.m. Matt Menzl and Andrew Gavin will be on the call for the radio broadcast. To listen live online, click here.
• INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay trails the all-time series with Detroit 20-22, with the Titans winning 10 of the 18 meetings in Detroit. The Phoenix won six games in a row beginning in 2008 before Detroit took three of the last four meetings.
• THE FIRST MEETING: In the first meeting on Jan. 12, Green Bay hit 7-of-14 three-pointers and got 17 points and nine rebounds from Brown, but Detroit benefitted from a 26-of-35 effort from the free throw line and 16 points from sophomore point guard Ray McCallum in an 80-73 victory.
• TOP THE CHARTS: Brown blocked two shots against Milwaukee to move into sole possession of Green Bay's all-time blocks record and now has 137. The 7-foot-1 Brown became the program's all-time leader in the category in just 54 career games. With his three blocks against Wright State on Friday, Brown now has 70 this season and broke his own single-season blocks record he set as a freshman in 2010-11.
• WINNING ON THE ROAD: Green Bay snapped a 13-game losing streak on the road with the 53-48 victory at Wright State on Friday night. The team was 0-11 away from home this season and had last won on Feb. 24, 2011 at Youngstown State. The win in the Nutter Center also marked the last time Green Bay won at Wright State since Jan. 5, 2005, when the Phoenix won by an eerily similar 53-46 margin.
• CAN I SEE SOME ID?: Sykes has an impressive stretch going since his 18th birthday, and the point guard continued that Friday by scoring 10 of his 13 points after hafltime against Wright State. The country's second-youngest player has averaged 14.7 points and 4.2 assists in 10 games since becoming eligible to vote on Dec. 30. He has scored in double figures in nine of the 10 contests, including 15 or more five times. Sykes ranks first among Horizon League freshman in points, assists and assist-to-turnover ratio and among the conference's 10 starting point guards, Sykes has the fewest turnovers (45).
• KAM CATCHIN' FIRE: Since being inserted into the starting lineup, Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) has consistently been providing the Phoenix with an outside scoring threat. In his 13 starts, Cerroni is averaging 10.9 points per game and shooting 49.3 percent (34-69) from long range. Against Milwaukee on Feb. 4, Cerroni scored 17 points on just four shot attempts, going 3-of-4 from long range and 7-of-8 from the charity stripe. He sank four free throws in the final 15 seconds to seal the win Friday at Wright State.

Running back Alfred Morris got the start for the Redskins on Sunday and acquitted himself well by rushing for 96 yards and two touchdowns. On Monday, head coach Mike Shanahan said Morris will remain in that role.
"Alfred right now is our starting running back," Shanahan said.
Fantasy Analysis:
There may very well come a time in the not-to-distant future when we all remember when Morris was the Redskins' starting running back, scored two times in a game and have a nice laugh, But for now, Morris has the starting job and he has it pretty much all to himself. He got 28 carries against the Saints; no other Redskins running back got more than two. We all know this depth chart can change on whim, but I would have faith in Morris as an RB2 in a favorable matchup against the Rams next week.

Welcome to the online version of NFA's rulebook, the NFA Manual. We update this
version on an ongoing basis. If you want to check out what changes have most recently
been made to the NFA Manual, go to Recent Manual Updates.
You may view a categorized list of the Interpretive Notices by visiting the Index of Interpretive Notices page.
Over the years, NFA's Board of Directors has adopted strict and effective rules to prohibit deceptive sales practices, and those rules have been vigorously enforced by NFA's Business Conduct Committee. The Board notes, however, that by their very nature, enforcement actions occur after the customer abuse has taken place. The Board recognizes that NFA's goal must be not only to punish such deception of customers through enforcement actions but to prevent it, or minimize its likelihood, through fair and effective regulation.
One NFA rule designed to prevent abusive sales practices is NFA Compliance Rule 2-9. Subsection (a) of this rule places a continuing responsibility on every Member to diligently supervise its employees and agents in all aspects of their futures activities, including sales practices. Although NFA has not attempted to prescribe a set of supervisory requirements to be followed by all NFA Members, NFA's Board of Directors believes that Member firms which are identified as having a sales force and/or principals that have been affected by questionable sales practice training and firms which charge commissions and fees well above the industry norm should be required to adopt enhanced supervisory requirements designed to prevent sales practice abuse. Subsection (b) authorizes the Board of Directors to require Members, which meet certain criteria established by the Board, to adopt specific supervisory procedures designed to prevent abusive sales practices. Subsection (b) covers all activities regulated by NFA, including the off-exchange retail forex activities of Members subject to NFA Compliance Rule 2-36.
The Board believes that in order for the criteria used to identify firms subject to the enhanced supervisory requirements to be useful, those criteria must be specific, objective and readily measurable. The Board also believes that any supervisory requirements imposed on a Member must be designed to quickly identify potential problem areas so that the Member will be able to take corrective action before any customer abuse occurs. The purpose of this Interpretive Notice is to set forth the criteria established by the Board which obligate a Member to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements and to specify the enhanced supervisory requirements which are required of firms meeting these criteria.
In developing the criteria, the Board concluded that it would be helpful to review Member firms which had been disciplined through enforcement actions taken by the CFTC or NFA for deceptive sales practices. The Board's purpose was to identify factors common to these Member firms and probative of their sales practice problems, which could be used to identify other Member firms with potential sales practice problems.
One factor identified by the Board as common to these firms and directly related to their sales practice problems is the employment history and training of their sales forces and firm principals. For many of these Members, a significant portion of these individuals were previously employed and trained by one or more Member firms which had been disciplined for fraud. The Board believes that the employment history of a Member's APs and principals is a relevant factor to consider in identifying firms with potential sales practice problems. If a Member firm is disciplined by NFA or the CFTC for fraud related to widespread telemarketing or promotional material problems or by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or the SEC for fraud related to its sales practices regarding security futures products as defined in Section 1a(45) of the Commodity Exchange Act ("Act"), it is reasonable to conclude that the training and supervision of its sales force was wholly inadequate or inappropriate. It is also reasonable to conclude that an AP or principal who received inadequate or inappropriate training and supervision may have learned improper sales tactics, which he will carry with him to his next job. Therefore, the Board believes that a Member firm employing such a sales force must have stringent supervisory procedures in place in order to ensure that the improper training its APs and principals have previously received does not taint their sales efforts on behalf of the Member.
The Board notes further that there have been instances in which Members and Associates have subverted the Board's purpose in imposing the enhanced supervisory requirements by closing a firm once it qualifies for those requirements and opening another firm or firms that have a mix of employees that does not meet the criteria for adopting the requirements. The new firms typically have individuals who have worked for firms that have been disciplined for fraud related to telemarketing or promotional material and who worked at the original qualifying firm, but they are redistributed so as to keep the employee mix below the threshold for becoming subject to the enhanced supervisory requirements. The Board has determined to apply the enhanced supervisory requirements to firms that use this strategy.
The Board also notes that Members that assess commissions, fees and other charges that total well above the industry norm comprise a disproportionately high share of firms that have been subject to disciplinary action for sales practice abuses. Some of the abuses that have been cited relate to the creation of a misleading impression of the likelihood of achieving profits by investing with a Member through misstatements or material omissions concerning the impact of commissions and fees.
The Board believes that when a Member charges its customers commissions, fees and other charges that total well above the industry norm it is incumbent on that Member to exercise a very high degree of supervision of solicitations made by its APs so as to ensure that customers are given accurate information regarding the impact of those expenses on the likelihood of achieving profit. Consistent with its approach in other situations involving an increased likelihood of misleading solicitations, the Board believes that the enhanced supervisory requirements provide a practical opportunity for a Member that charges commissions, mark-ups, fees and other charges that are well above the industry norm to monitor solicitations and correct problems with those solicitations in an expeditious manner.
A. Recording of all conversations with existing and potential customers
Those Member firms meeting the criteria requiring them to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements will be required to make complete audio recordings of all telephone conversations that occur between their APs and both existing and potential customers, including existing and potential retail forex customers of Members subject to NFA Compliance Rule 2-36. The Board believes that recording these conversations provides these Members with the best opportunity to monitor closely the activities of their APs and also provides these Members with complete and immediate feedback on each AP's method of soliciting customers. Members that are required to record their conversations must retain such recordings for a period of five years from the date each recording is created and the recordings shall be readily accessible during the first two years of the five-year period. In retaining the recorded conversations, Member firms must catalog the recordings by AP and date. Additionally, any Member firm meeting the criteria must require all its APs to maintain a daily log for sales solicitations which reflects at a minimum the identity of each customer or prospective customer the AP spoke with on each day. A Member firm must be able to promptly produce, upon request from NFA or the CFTC, all conversations relating to a specific AP, and only that AP, for a given date. Members that are required to record under this Interpretive Notice are further required to promptly provide NFA or the CFTC with appropriate resources for listening to their recordings upon request.
B. Enhanced capital requirement
Any Member introducing broker ("IB") meeting the criteria is required to either operate pursuant to a guarantee agreement or maintain adjusted net capital of at least $250,000 during the entire period for which the Member is required to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements. Eligible guarantor futures commission merchants ("FCM"s) are those that meet the eligibility requirements for executing a Supplemental Guarantor Certification Statement pursuant to NFA Registration Rule 509(b)(5). Any IB Member opting to maintain the higher level of adjusted net capital shall also be subject to the financial record-keeping and reporting requirements applicable to FCMs.
Any Member commodity trading advisor ("CTA") or commodity pool operator ("CPO") meeting the criteria is required to maintain adjusted net capital of at least $100,000 during the entire period for which the Member is required to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements. Member CTAs and CPOs meeting the criteria are required to demonstrate compliance with this adjusted net capital requirement to NFA upon request.
Any Forex Dealer Member ("FDM") or FCM meeting the criteria is required to maintain adjusted net capital of at least the early warning requirement under CFTC rules.
C. Filing promotional material with NFA
Those Member firms meeting the criteria will be required to file all promotional material, as defined in NFA Compliance Rule 2-29(i), with NFA at least 10 days prior to its first use.
D. Written supervisory procedures
Those Members meeting the criteria shall have written supervisory procedures that include the titles, registration status and locations of the firm's supervisory personnel as these relate to the firm's commodity futures business, retail forex business, and applicable securities laws and regulations for the trading of security futures products. The written procedures must include at a minimum:
Member firms shall also maintain on an internal record the names of all persons who are designated as supervisory personnel and the dates for which the designation is or was effective. Additionally, a Member meeting the criteria shall file with NFA's Compliance Department a report relating to the Member firm's compliance with the supervisory requirements contained herein within 15 days after the end of each calendar quarter. Member firms shall retain the internal record and report(s) for a period of five years, the first two years in an easily accessible place.
A. Definitions, treatment of individuals and firms and exemptions
1. Definition of Disciplined Firm
A current list of the firms which meet the definition of a Disciplined Firm is maintained on NFA's Web site at https://www.nfa.futures.org/ereg. For purposes of this Interpretive Notice, a Disciplined Firm is defined very narrowly to include those firms that fall into one of the following two groups:
Members that qualify as Disciplined Firms based on their disciplinary histories with the CFTC or NFA include those firms for which:
2. those charges have been resolved; and
3. the firm has either been permanently barred from the industry at any time as a result of those charges or has been sanctioned in any way within the preceding five years as a result of those charges.
2. Treatment of principals who previously worked at a Disciplined Firm
For purposes of determining whether a Member will be required to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements based on the employment histories of its APs and principals, principals of a firm, who are not also APs of that firm and who have been previously employed as an AP by one or more Disciplined Firms, shall be counted as if they were APs of the firm.
3. Treatment of FCMs that guarantee introducing brokers
For purposes of determining whether an FCM Member will be required to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements, an FCM and its guaranteed introducing brokers ("GIBs") will be considered a single firm. Therefore, for FCMs with GIBs, the APs of its GIBs will be treated as APs of the FCM for determining whether the FCM meets the requirements. If the FCM Member firm meets the requirements, then the FCM and all its GIBs shall be required to adopt the supervisory procedures specified herein. Of course, individual FCMs or GIBs will be required to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements provided the FCM or GIB meets the requirements on its own.
4. Exemptions from being counted as an AP who worked at a Disciplined Firm
The Board recognizes that there are identifiable populations of APs who are included in the general population of APs who have worked at Disciplined Firms in the past who, further analysis suggests, do not raise the same concerns regarding their previous supervision and training that are raised by the majority of APs who have worked at Disciplined Firms. Generally, these APs worked at Disciplined Firms fairly long ago and are free of additional factors of concern in their employment histories.
A number of the APs in this group worked at Disciplined Firms for only a short period of time many years ago and have not worked at a Disciplined Firm since or been personally subject to disciplinary action. Others worked at a single Disciplined Firm for a somewhat lengthier period and have subsequently been employed for a substantial length of time by Members that have not shown a propensity for customer abuse and the AP has not been personally subject to disciplinary action.
The Board has determined that APs who have not been personally subject to a disciplinary action by NFA or the CFTC and who meet the following criteria shall not be counted by a Member that hires them as having been employed by a Disciplined Firm for purposes of calculating whether the composition of the Member's sales force triggers the enhanced supervisory requirements:
b. they worked at only one Disciplined Firm more than 10 years preceding the determination of whether a Member firm is required to employ the enhanced supervisory requirements and they have not been employed by a Member that has been subject to any sales practice action by NFA or the CFTC, or by any Securities SRO or the SEC in connection with sales practices involving the offer, purchase or sale of any security futures product as defined in Section 1a (45) of the Act within the 10 years preceding the determination, and they have been an NFA Member or Associate Member for at least eight of the ten years preceding the determination.
B. Criteria that obligate a Member to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements
Member firms will be required to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements if they fall into any of the categories described below.
1. Obligation based on employment histories of APs and principals
Firms that meet any of the following numerical criteria are required to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements:
Once a Member firm meets the criteria to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements, any other Members of which the principals of that Member firm are, or become, principals must also adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements or seek a waiver therefrom subject to the following exception.
As is the case with some APs, the Board recognizes that there is a limited group of individuals who have been principals of firms that have qualified for the enhanced supervisory requirements who are otherwise free of additional factors that raise concern about their ability to effectively supervise their firms. Therefore, a Member will not qualify for the enhanced supervisory requirements under this section if the principal whose history would cause the qualification meets the following criteria:
3. Obligation based on assessing commissions, fees and other charges well above the industry norm
Any Member firm that charges 50% or more of its active customers round-turn commissions, fees and other charges that total $100 or more per futures, forex or option contract is required to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements. Any Member that charges 50% or more of its active customers round-turn commissions, fees and other charges in the amount specified above must promptly inform NFA of that fact. In addition, upon request by NFA, Members shall have the burden of demonstrating to NFA that they charge more than 50% of their active customers round-turn commissions, fees and other charges that are less than the specified amounts. The term "active customers" as used in this section means any customers who are entitled to a monthly statement under the provisions of CFTC Regulations Section 1.33(a). For purposes of this section, any Member whose customer initiates an options contract that would result in total commissions, fees and other charges of $100 or more if the trade was liquidated will be deemed to have charged total commissions, fees and other charges of $100 even if the contract is not ultimately liquidated.
4. Obligation based on the initiation of disciplinary action
Any Member that has previously been required to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements; has, in fact, fulfilled that requirement either by adopting the enhanced supervisory requirements for a prescribed period or by receiving a full or partial waiver from the enhanced supervisory requirements from the Telemarketing Procedures Waiver Committee; and subsequently becomes subject to a CFTC or NFA enforcement or disciplinary proceeding alleging deceptive sales practices, shall, within 30 days of being served with notice of the action, adopt all of the enhanced supervisory requirements and may not seek a waiver therefrom. This obligation shall continue until after the disciplinary or enforcement proceeding is closed and all appeals are completed or the time for appeal has passed without an appeal being filed or perfected.
Any Member required to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements may seek a waiver by filing a petition with the Telemarketing Procedures Waiver Committee within 30 days of the date of being notified by NFA that it is required to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements. NFA may grant such a waiver upon a satisfactory showing that the Member's current supervisory procedures provide effective supervision over its employees, including enabling the Member to identify potential problem areas before customer abuse occurs. Additionally, if a Member meets the criteria and trades security futures products, then the Member firm must also make a satisfactory showing that the Member's supervisory procedures ensure compliance with all applicable securities laws and regulations. Should a Member fail to file a petition seeking a waiver within 30 days or should it file a petition that is denied by the Telemarketing Procedures Waiver Committee, either in whole or in part, the Member may not petition for a full or partial waiver again until at least two years have elapsed since the Member adopted the required enhanced procedures. Members that meet the criteria to adopt the enhanced supervisory requirements and receive either a full or partial waiver of their obligation to adopt those requirements are, nevertheless, deemed to be a Member that qualified for the requirements for the purposes of this Interpretive Notice.
Some of the factors that the three-member Waiver Committee may consider in evaluating a waiver request include:
A Member firm that does not comply with this Interpretive Notice will violate NFA Compliance Rule 2-9(b) and will be subject to disciplinary action.

If Ian Grayson – who writes for the Australian Hydrapinion website – is right we'll be using video conferencing a lot more next year.
WebRTC: a trend worth watching in 2013 he talks about technology allowing you to make video calls using nothing more than a standard web browser. WebRTC stands for web real-time communications. There are no special apps and no need for dedicated video suites. It looks set to make things easier than Skype.
We're often told video will be the application for the UFB fibre network being rolled out around New Zealand so the technology appears to have turned up at the right moment.

I was wondering what color is correct for each boot spats. The ROTJ, is it white or grey? The ESB is grey and is'nt it a different shape and style? Sorry to bother all with a simple question, any help would be great.
I was wondering what color is correct for each boot spats. The ROTJ, is it white or grey? The ESB is grey and is'nt it a different shape and style? Sorry to bother all with a simple question, any help would be great.
ESB has no spats... altho they do have a 1" strip of material that Velcro's around the ankle? as for colours I'll have a look for a pic or two?
Hope these help...
The ESB I found on the TDH (don't know who posted) it's the same colour as the jumpsuit and ROTJ spat is taken from the MOM exhibit..
Are they the same material as the cloth belt pouches?
Erm... you got me second guessing now Chris??
I thought and had been led to believe that the ESB 'spats' were just 3/4" - 1" material (same as jumpsuit) going around the ankle with a Velcro fastening at the side...
This gives the illusion that (due to the crumpling of the jumpsuit) that it had spats.
If I am wrong please correct me before I get too far with my suit?
No, no, that's just it ... you got ME second guessing I'm no ESB expert so, you're probably right. I remember having an argument with a buddy about this a number of years ago, but I never knew for sure either way. So I'm not going to correct you ... someone else that knows for sure needs to come in with their 2 cents
Well hopefully this pic will clear it?
You can just make out a 3/4" - 1" strap around the ankle that when tied gives the illusion of a 'spat'
Again... if I'm wrong maybe other ESB's can chine in?
Compelling to say the least
However ...
Not trying to "pick", but it does appear a wee wider toward the back. is it possible that it is a spat that has just been folded or rolled before wrapping it around the ankle? Just a thought
Ok... I thought that last one was the nail in the coffin?
I *think* that the appearance of the 'wider' section as you call it
is due to the fact that the ESB ankle tie starts from 2" up on the outer seam of the jumpsuit around to the inner seam of said jumpsuit... the crumpled material you see at the front is only the lower hem... (Bad seamstress that cannot sew straight)
I'm really gonna have to dig through my ref now Chris...
Nah, don't waste your time on hunting for more ref, I think your right. The more I think about it, if it was a spat that was rolled or folded before wrapping it around the ankle, the hook and loop wouldn't match up for fastening. So there ya go, I just laid it to rest for ya as far as I'm concerned
Well that concludes another high brow discussion between MJ & FP... tune in next week where MJ asks... Where did the Tutti-fruity colour scheme for the ROTJ jet pack come from?
I hope that is of any help whistle8mp?
Hey now, don't go getting all ESB vs. ROTJ ... and dissin what I labelled as the "Technicolor Terror" a number of years ago
Thanks guys and sorry if it has anyone self guessing themselves, but I di apprieciate the help. Happy new years to all!!

Students take two courses in this area for a minimum of six credits. The first course in foundations of communication is EN 111 College Composition I (4 credits).
Course Placement and Requirements
All students, except transfers who have satisfactorily completed the equivalent of EN 111, will have their ACT scores and high school grades reviewed for appropriate placement in EN 111 and/or learning skills courses. Some students may be required to write a placement examination.
Those students who demonstrate exceptional ability in writing may complete the foundations of communication requirement in either of two ways:
1. Students receive course credit for EN 111 by passing the appropriate AP-CEEB examinations or CLEP general test for English Composition with Essay or the appropriate international baccalaureate test, then take EN 211.
2. Students receive a waiver for EN 111 without credit, begin the foundations of communication sequence with EN 211 and complete the sequence with another approved foundations of communication elective at the 200 level or above. A list of approved alternate foundations of communication courses is available to qualified students from the English Department, the Academic and Career Advisement Center and the Registrar's Office.
Note: Those students judged to have a deficiency in writing must achieve a grade of "C" in EN 090 Basic Composition before taking EN 111.
Students must complete one of the following courses for the second course in foundations of communication:
Students participating in the honors program will complete the foundations of communication requirement through select honors courses rather than the EN 111-EN 211 sequence.
Note: Students must have a "C" or better in EN 111 or equivalent course in order to take the second course in foundations of communication. Students must earn a "C" or better in the second course in foundations in communication.

text: Waltham teacher surprised with national Milken Award Derek Vandegrift, who teaches history to 10th and 11th graders at Waltham High School, is the state's 39th Milken Award winner. He is the only recipient from Massachusetts in 2011-2012, and joins more than 2,500 other national educators who have received the award since its inception, according to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Known as the "Oscars of Teaching," the Milken awards were established to provide public recognition and individual rewards of $25,000 to elementary and secondary teachers, principals, and specialists who are furthering excellence in education, according to a DESE media release. "We are fortunate to have so many talented, committed teachers across the Commonwealth, and Derek is a shining example of the excellence we see throughout the profession," said Massachusetts Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Mitchell Chester. "The best educators have the ability to inspire their students each and every day and instill a lifelong love of learning. Derek is one of those highly capable, inspiring educators, and we are lucky to have him in the classroom." Vandegrift is committed to standards and project-based instruction, and differentiates his instruction to meet all students' varying needs. He has led battle reenactments and is known to impersonate historians and historical figures. Vandegrift has been trained as a lead teacher under the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History's Teaching American History Curriculum Development Lesson Series to create master lesson plans and model those exemplary lessons to fellow educators in Brookline, Cambridge, Newton, Sudbury, Watertown and Waltham. Waltham Public Schools Director of History and Social Science Stephen Goodwin wrote about Vandegrift that he is "known throughout school as a thoroughly prepared, creative instructor to whom students flock. He is a dynamic teacher who creates a variety of opportunities for his students to participate in each class; his teacher/student centered cooperative classrooms can be found completing creative projects that reflect the state curriculum and enhance student understanding." Recipients each receive a check for $25,000 and membership in the network of previous Milken winners. An independent statewide Blue Ribbon panel of principals, teachers and other educators review dozens of educator portfolios and submit those to the Milken Family Foundation. The Foundation makes the final selection of recipients. Criteria for the award include exceptional educational talent and promise, skill in developing innovative and creative curricula and programs, commitment to professional development, and the ability to instill self-confidence in students. For more information on the Milken Family Foundation National Educator Awards program, visit the Foundation's website at www.mff.org.

Firefighter injured in two-alarm fire that destroyed Dover home
Brown said the fire, which was burning above his head for some time, caused the ceiling to collapse as firefighters battled the blaze from both inside and outside a 2�-story New England Style home at 26 Horne St.
'An ember fell into the collar of his gear, burning his neck. He was treated and released that evening and continued to work,' Brown said, adding it was the only injury from the blaze.
Brown said the fire, which was reported at 1:46 p.m., was under control around 3:15 p.m. Aside from a local crew which watched the building overnight, firefighters cleared the scene around 6 p.m.
Local crews were assisted by firefighters from Durham, Portsmouth, Rochester, Rollinsford, and Somersworth. Firefighters from Durham, Newington and Berwick, Maine provided station coverage.
Brown said the fire caused about $300,000 in damage to the home, which was rendered unlivable. About six people lived at the home. They were assisted by members of the American Red Cross at the scene Thursday.
While the investigation began Thursday, no cause has been determined and firefighter have not said whether it was suspicious or not.
