Zions Bancorp on Monday posted sharply higher first-quarter net income as it wrote off fewer bad loans and saw demand for new loans pick up moderately.
The Salt Lake City-based banking company earned $88.3 million, or 48 cents per share, in the quarter ending March 31, easily beating the consensus prediction of analysts who were looking for 39 cents per share.
The earnings were almost three times more than what Zions reported in the same quarter last year. Net income then was $25.5 million, or 14 cents per share. Three months ago, the bank earned $35.6 million, or 19 cents a share.
"We are generally quite pleased with the first-quarter results. Many of the trends were strong either on a relative basis, such as loan growth, or on an absolute basis, such as charge-offs," CEO Harris Simmons said during a conference call with analysts.
As the quarter started, loans actually declined. But demand picked up in March, and the bank ended the quarter with a $148 million gain over the fourth quarter of last year.
Still, the bank is feeling the effects of the sluggish recovery. Although loans rose to $37.7 billion from $37.1 billion three months earlier, demand is still weak, Simmons said.
"March was a strong month," he said. "I say strong, relative to what you are seeing from some other banks these days."
Simmons said Zions' loan officers "remain positive" about prospects for loan growth in coming quarters. The bank's commercial customers seem more optimistic than they were six months ago. Although demand appears to be strengthening, interest rates have weakened recently. That suggests net interest income the bank's biggest source of profits may not improve this year, he said.
Gross loan charge-offs fell 35 percent from the fourth quarter. The decline allowed Zions to add back $29 million that had been set aside to cover bad loans.
Acknowledging that shareholders have been clamoring for a higher dividend, the bank last week raised the quarterly return from 1 cent per share to 4 cents.
"We hoped to modestly increase the dividend, and so now we've begun that process," Simmons said.
Zions released its financial results after the close of the stock market. Its shares closed at $23.61, down 10 cents, and fell another 3 cents in after-hours trading.

No. 24 Mizzou holds off Western Michigan
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou basketball improved to 10-0, squeaking by Western Michigan 66-60 at Mizzou Arena on Sunday.
The Tigers had four players in double figures, as Jabari Brown led the way with 15 points. Jordan Clarkson and Earnest Ross had 12 points while Tony Criswell ended with 10.
Both teams were slow to get going in the first half. Both the Tigers and Broncos could not pull away from each other, and also had trouble holding onto the ball. Mizzou committed 17 turnovers, but Western Michigan shot 26.5% from the field and could not capitalize on the Missouri miscues.
Mizzou pulled away after the Broncos got within two in the middle of the second half. The Tigers went up by as many as 11 with approximately 8 minutes to play. They were able to hold on to win their 25th-straight game at Mizzou Arena (best active streak in the NCAA) while also pushing their winning streak to 80 games against non-conference opponents at home.
The Tigers will travel to St. Louis to take on Illinois in the annual Braggin' Rights game on Saturday.

Senator John Kerry, incoming chairperson of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, warned about taking military action in Somalia in response to the pirate activity which originates from that nation. "if you've just got one patrol boat and it chases in and people go ashore without enough firepower, without knowing what they're up against, you can get into a lot of trouble." The senator raises valid points, but he ignores the role played by President George Bush in creasing the current unstable situation in Somalia. Bush encouraged Christian Ethiopia to invade and take over Somalia in order to crush a fundamentalist Islamic government. It was that invasion which helped encourage the growth in pirate activity.
Sorry, Senator Kerry, the United States IS involved in Somalia and it is time we acknowledged our role in creating the current chaos. We can acknowledge that American planes and ships assisted Ethiopian forces during their invasion. First, accept responsibility, and then work to assist an Islamic government to restore law and order.

No. 6 Seed Green Bay Faces No. 3 Seed UIC Wednesday
By: Jill Wunrow
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After a one year absence, the Green Bay (22-26, 11-12 HL) softball team has earned the No. 6 seed in this season's Horizon League Softball Championship. The Phoenix will face defending Horizon League Tournament champion No. 3 seed UIC (26-25, 12-9 HL) Wednesday, May 9 at 1:30 p.m. at host Valparaiso University.
Green Bay split its final conference doubleheader of the season Saturday, May 5 against Youngstown State while UIC and Wright State split its doubleheader, giving the Phoenix the final spot in the six-field tournament.
REGULAR SEASON REVIEW AGAINST THE FLAMES: In regular season play, Green Bay and UIC battled 10 innings in the first of its three-game series April 25 with the Flames edging the Phoenix 5-4. Green Bay took a 3-2 lead with two outs in the top of the seventh inning off a homerun from Danielle Peerenboom (Appleton, Wis.) before UIC answered by tying the game twice before scoring the winning run in the bottom of the 10th.
The Flames scored five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning in game two of the series before handing Green Bay a 9-1 defeat. Junior Paige Newtols (Green Bay, Wis.) scored the lone run for the Phoenix with a solo homerun in the top of the fourth inning of play.
In the final game of the series, both teams remained scoreless until UIC scored two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Green Bay cut the Flames' lead in half (2-1) with an RBI single from Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis) in the top of the sixth. The Flames retired the side in the top of the seventh inning to capture the 2-1 win for the series sweep over the Phoenix.
BETWEEN THE NUMBERS: Green Bay's opening game of the tournament will likely be a defensive battle between the Flames and the Phoenix as both rank in the top four in fielding percentage among Horizon League teams. UIC ranks third with its fielding percentage of .961 while Green Bay is fourth with a .952 fielding percentage.
From the mound, UIC pitchers Devin Miller and Ashely Hewett rank fourth and seventh respectively in the league with 168 and 118 strikeouts. Green Bay pitcher Allison Goecks (Beloit, Wis.) ranks ninth in the league, striking out 111 batters while ranking sixth with an ERA of 3.01.
On the offensive side of the ball, UIC's Melissa Preisch ranks fifth among Horizon League players in batting average while Green Bay's Miranda Reinke is 10th batting .336. Reinke leads the Phoenix with 43 hits, eight doubles, 62 total bases and a slugging percentage of .484 through 45 games.
HISTORY IN THE HORIZON LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP: Green Bay is making its seventh appearance in the Horizon League Softball Championship under eighth-year head coach Jean Rivett. The Phoenix holds a 13-11 overall record in the tournament under Rivett, including the program's first championship in 2005 as the No. 2 seed.
Wednesday's contest marks the fourth time Green Bay and UIC will meet in postseason play with the Flames holding a 1-2 edge. In 2005, No. 2 seed Green Bay eliminated No. 1 seed UIC before the top-seeded Flames handed No. 4 seed Green Bay its first loss in the 2006 tournament. In its most recent meeting during 2009 tournament play, No. 1 seed UIC handed No. 7 seed Green Bay its first loss of the tournament.

Join us Friday, August 15th on the patio with Blackbird Revue at 8pm! Presented by United Entertainment.
From the heart of the midwest, The Blackbird Revue's worn, comfortable, americana sound is beginning to garner national attention. Featured on NBC'sThe Voice, and boasting one of Kansas City's top ten albums of 2013 (Ink Magazine), this husband and wife duo has created a sound that is achingly beautiful, hauntingly memorable, and passionately performed.
Many are taking notice.
They were selected as a national finalist for the Bud Light Battle of the Bands 2012, invited to participate in the Chevy Music Showcase for Kansas City, and nominated two years running as the best Americana band in Kansas City by The Pitch Magazine.
While sharing the stage with such artists as Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes, Kopecky Family Band, Gregory Alan Isakov, Over the Rhine, and Hey Marseilles, The Blackbird Revue has performed at numerous venues across the midwest, including the South By Southwest Festival in Austin, TX, and Kansas City's Middle of the Map Fest.
Here's what others are saying:
"Listening to Danielle and Jacob work together, harmonize together, and just be together, you realize that they have … something … indefinable, yet unmistakable. This isn't just a musical duo, and this isn't just a married couple. This is a union of two spirits and souls that complement each other perfectly as no other could. The underlying intensity and obvious passion shine brightly." - The Deli Magazine
"Their sound is lovely, all melodic and well-crafted, midtempo and melancholic. And their harmonies can be deadly." - Ink Magazine
"Weaving the intimate presence and sweetly weathered vocal blend of The Civil Wars together with a penchant for creating delicately driving indie-rock textures, Kansas City outfit The Blackbird Revue really has achieved something special in a short amount of time. Fronted by husband-wife duo Jacob and Danielle Prestidge, the group has crafted a sound that manages to be ethereal and earthy all at once, swirling and magnetic yet immediate and relevant. Catch the group in a snug setting while you still can." - The Columbia Tribune

Fronton "Mons Aureolus" 2006 - Château Montauriol, Nicolas Gélis - Alc. 12.5% - (c.€9), made from Négrette 50%, CabSauv 25%, Syrah 25% and oak aged (25% new) for 12 months. http://www.vignobles-nicolasgelis.com/c ... ontauriol/ .
The weather has turned sultry and this was paired with a chicken salad and consumed in the garden at about 16°C. It fitted the bill perfectly but I think that it would also do well as an autumn or winter wine.
The Fronton or Côtes du Frontonnais appellation (label says Fronton) is located a few tens of kilometres north of Toulouse and is little drunk outside its own region. One distinguishing feature here is the grape variety Négrette, of which records exist dating from the 6th century; once widespread in south-western France, Fronton is now its remaining stronghold with a few specimens also found in nearby Gaillac and Tarn.
C: Deep red with a purple tinge.
N: Well developed sweet red fruit with a wet leather tang.
P: Quite full bodied with suave patina and mouth-feel but lively acidity, quite firm structure and attractive sweet fruit balanced by the wet leather tang and touches of liquorice. In spite of the patina, this wine has definitely a sense of place seeming a sweeter and more charming distant cousin of the more austere but classier Cahors some 80 km further north (NB, though, no grape varieties in common). The wood treatment is very well integrated but contributes that suavity which may not be fully typical; I might prefer a more rustic example. Still a very good wine and, FWIW, an Hachette *** winner, which I get this time; 16/20+.
I'll look out for more Fronton.

This article is a draft, with further revisions actively invited. Drafts are typically different than stubs in that these articles are in an active edit process. Feel free to help by expanding the article.
We need to start a Haskell centered cookbook (aka, not a PLEAC clone)
This page is based on the Scheme Cookbook at http://schemecookbook.org/Cookbook/WebHome
1 Prelude
A lot of functions are defined in the "Prelude". Also, if you ever want to search for a function, based on the name, type or module, take a look at the excellent Hoogle. This is for a lot of people a must-have while debugging and writing Haskell programs.
2 GHCi/Hugs
2.1 GHCi interaction
To start GHCi from a command prompt, simply type `ghci'
$ ghci ___ ___ _ / _ \ /\ /\/ __(_) / /_\// /_/ / / | | GHC Interactive, version 6.6, for Haskell 98. / /_\\/ __ / /___| | http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ \____/\/ /_/\____/|_| Type :? for help. Loading package base ... linking ... done. Prelude>
Prelude is the "base" library of Haskell.
To create variables at the GHCi prompt, use `let'
Prelude> let x = 5 Prelude> x 5 Prelude> let y = 3 Prelude> y 3 Prelude> x + y 8
`let' is also the way to create simple functions at the GHCi prompt
Prelude> let fact n = product [1..n] Prelude> fact 5 120
2.2 Checking Types
To check the type of an expression or function, use the command `:t'
Prelude> :t x x :: Integer Prelude> :t "Hello" "Hello" :: [Char]
Haskell has the following types defined in the Standard Prelude.
Int -- bounded, word-sized integers Integer -- unbounded integers Double -- floating point values Char -- characters String -- equivalent to [Char], strings are lists of characters () -- the unit type Bool -- booleans [a] -- lists (a,b) -- tuples / product types Either a b -- sum types Maybe a -- optional values
3.1 How to interface with C
Magnus has written a nice example on how to call a C function operating on a user defined type.
4 Testing
4.1 QuickCheck
4.2 HUnit

Xbox one wont have the Twitch feature for a few months. I wanted to know what is everything i need to buy so i can stream to twitch from my xbox one. (Highest quality preferred)
Xbox one wont have the Twitch feature for a few months. I wanted to know what is everything i need to buy so i can stream to twitch from my xbox one. (Highest quality preferred)
Some hd game recorded google streaming from xbox to twitch but i would say wait for xbox to get the feature... Because the normal hardwire cost up to 200+ not to mention decent streaming software and you need good pc... Good internet to stream in hd with good fps... And so on and on its a hassle... And ATM the most watched game is cod or gta5... And for gta5 i would say find a crew that want to stream together easier and attracts more people...
Talking about getting viewers you must be good at gaming but atm all the bastards who give out gifts get most viewers so twitch is corrupt... And shitty...
You can get decent 1080p capture hardware for around $120.
For high movement/action games, you will need around 3mb upload.
Having a super computer is not required for console stream b/c your computer doesn't have to shoulder the burden of actually running the game.
You can actually view recommended system reqs on Twitch.
Poe, people who give out gifts have mediocre numbers for the most part. If you want views have skill, personality, an accent, or boobs.
Also, lots of networking.
I see, now i understand why having this integrated into the console is so appealing. Sounds like its better for me to just wait. You guys have been a great help thank you.
before i sold my ps4 i created a twitch and streamed every game i owned, i noticed that as long as i kept it consistent the numbers would add up. I kept streaming even when no one was watching and eventually i would have about 10 ppl in my room. Out of those 10 1 would sub. Its fun.

|SVT Performance (2002-2004) The place to chat about any 2.0L SVT DOHC Zetec engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
'I get the light about 30% of the time...'
One either understands there is a place for that VCT to be at and it will NEVER mess up, or they don't. I picked up on that with my first one. The only difference in older VCT exhaust and the intake on SVT is the camshaft they put it on. If the working direction is backwards that will complicate things a little but the absolute test should still be 100% viable, ergo, making sure the VCT is at dead end stop before saying it's done. Why on earth did Ford even bother to come up with the idea if it has no value? And why when I did my first one, instead of just diving in to rework it again and again, did I know to look for other missing service manual information that was located in typical Ford fashion about a hundred pages away from where it could do any good at all???
Last time I'm gonna say this, it falls on deaf ears like usual. When you loosen the VCT sprocket you then are spending 100% of your fubar time putting that sprocket ideally back EXACTLY where it was before. Why I say don't loosen. I haven't read up on SVT but the Contour had 22 degrees of total movement and the allowable error there is only maybe 2 or so before you start getting the same codes. You can't get a code where there was none before if you don't loosen the sprocket if nothing else changed. And please spare me telling me how different belts can have the timing in 'different' places, if so the belt is garbage. There is no such thing as a different belt, the only error they can have is one of variance between individual teeth, ergo the belt is scrap. Retiming does not fix that.
I'm at 100% on the older ones, having done like 7 or 8 Contour and ZX2 VCT now. I don't loosen the 2 non-SVT Focus I have at all, the camtool slides right in when done. Never saw one before the first one I did and the Contours are super bitchy about the timing just like these are. At least for every one else it would appear.
I've been through this discussion before on the Contour zetec sites, they couldn't improve on the idea other than spouting you just gotta work it until you get it right either, even best of the best who had done lots of them. I don't buy that, statements like here (30% error????) tell me somebody does not know what they are doing or rushing the work or working with non-stock cam timings. The Ford procedure CAN work and I know why they do it that way but the unexplained parts just complicate matters when slight errors turn out to be bigger ones.
Finding TDC with a pencil or other long rod is mistake #1, while possible, it can easily have you off 5 degrees; the up/down of the piston stops for maybe 2-3 of that, only a dial indicator or TDC pin is going to get you right there. Meaning using a pencil there is butchery.
I'm talking dead stock OEM parts and timing here.
Once you start going for non-stock cam timings you are going to have to face that locked in timing bugaboo unless the range can be altered. I'm sure that's possible by modding the cam teeth the sensor reads or maybe plugging in different values with a tune. Once one starts custom timing the intake cam for power you will not be able to do things that easy either.
I built printing machines with MANY of the same basic working devices as VCT, you have to make sure ALL of them are timed correctly and how if they can vary all over the map? Easy, there is a known 'centered up in running condition' position on every single one, you have to be there to have it timed properly so all press computer control has its' proper operating ranges. That is what 'end stop' on a VCT cylinder essentially does, it guarantees that the operating range of the VCT is within the range the PCM is looking for at the time the VCT cylinder is bolted down to the cam. You guys should try that with 30 gears (one printing unit only, try being responsible for TEN) and half of them are variable timing devices, you're crying here about ONE. I had 96 ink key motors that all had to set for centered range on one fountain assembly only and 8X that to get simple two sides of 4 color for crying out loud, that's 768 centering adjustments!!! Then centered circumferential and matched backup on one side to the other across four big cylinders and then 8 sidelays as well as all cocking devices centered and not even talking about the overall form to the folder yet, several other things to center there too. At $10K paper cost for 5 minutes of running (2000 ft./minute) to test you need to be able to set those devices at 100% known good running position before you even crank a big b-tch like that press up. I did that all day long for 35 years.
Look at the later Ford twin VCT engines, they modified the cam timing instructions and cylinder markings to include EXACTLY what I'm talking about. There is now clearly a third holding fixture that holds the VCT cylinders themselves rock solid while timing the belt. Locking tool 303-1097....................Ford finally pulls its' head out after losing so much due to stupid procedures.
If you time without knowing EXACTLY where that VCT is you are pissing in the wind. Motorcycles were here 20+ years ago, pretty damn silly.
Magic no , doing it your way or the way the book says 90% of the time you will get a over or under advanced CEL
No on has put more timing belts on the SVT engine then I have , and even knowing the SVT engine like I do I get the light about 30% of the time , any more I shoot for close then adjust the intake cam according to the CEL and its spot on , less hassle , less time , less frustration
|There's no magic there............but I suppose to the uninitiated there is. They certainly seem to have hell with it even on non-VCT ones.
If only it was that easy
Put the VCT cylinder back on its' internal end stop. When you loosen the sprockets the VCT 'springs up', or the spring snaps the cylinder one way to a dead stop, that is it. A third timing mark if you will. When you move the motor around that tends to pull the cylinder back off the stop, especially if oil has leaked out of the VCT due to wear.
You're really looking for 3 things there, TDC, camtool in backs of cams AND that cylinder on its' dead end stop, if it's not you rotate cam until it hits solid and then bar will go in back of both cams if all is right.
I can help you with that just give me a call
SVT VCT Gear
slim02svt, I need to know if you found an answer to your vct timing belt and cam issue. I have the same problem. Lock the cams at TDC, rotate engine twice and vct cam (intake) is off by about 10%. What was your fix?
To take the TBelt cover off correctly without cracking it, you actually have to remove the bolts from the Passenger Engine mount to get to them. **MAKE SURE YOU SUPPORT THE ENGINE BEFORE TAKING THOSE OFF**

Reviews of this property
When Olga everything was great. Very nice woman who cares! Apartment is clean and nicely decorated.
Bei Olga war alles super. Sehr nette Frau die sich kümmert ! Apartment ist sauber und schön eingerichtet.
Welcome! The hostess was very welcoming and friendly! highly recommended!
Ospitalità eccellente! La padrona di casa è stata molto accogliente e gentile! consigliatissimo!
Apartment spotless and very well located near the metro and all services. The owner Olga is available and very good advice. Returning to Kiev, we will take this apartment. That this message is an expression of our thanks.
Appartement impeccable et très bien situé près du métro et de tous services. La propriétaire Olga, est très disponible et de bons conseils. Si nous revenons à Kiev, nous reprendrons cet appartement. Que ce message soit l'expression de nos remerciements.
I stayed with Olga's apartment for 9 nights. There was a high standard and very central.
Olga was very welcoming and helping like host. Upon arrival, she had arange maps and helping whit questions about Kiev for more practical information. Olga speak very good English. I can warmly recommend Olga like host and her apartments. If I travel back to Kiev, I will sure stay in Olga's apartment again.
I recently visited Kiev and stayed in one of Olga.s apartments, which I found it to be very clean and modern, extremely roomily and very nice indeed with everything one would need during their stay. My host Olga I found her to be extremely polite and pleasant and very helpful indeed. I would recommend Olga's apartments to anyone wishing to visit Kiev at anytime. I know for a fact that I myself as and when I return back to Kiev on my next visit will be without a doubt contact Olga to acquire one of her apartments.
Reviews for this host's other properties
alles top!
I had a wonderful stay, the apartment is very well located and the area is very quiet.
everything was perfect for me
Superb apartment and service, we couldnt be happier at a 5* hotel.. strongly recommended!
Olga was a gracious host. She not only gave me a nice place that was clean and comfortable, but she walked me down to the market and showed me where I could eat and shop. She even took the time to explain the culture so I would understand it better. She is dependable and can be trusted with your eyes closed)
I would definitely recommend her to my friends and I would be happy to stay with her any time I am in Kyiv.
I was looking for an apartment in Kiev last minute and the day before the trip I found this nicely situated apartment and Olga was able to accommodate. The location is central, but in a quiet neighborhood. It is just a few minutes walk to Kreshatik. With hotels costing over $200 dollars a night in the center of Kiev in the summer, this is quite the convenient, pleasant way to affordably stay in Kiev, especially since it has all the amenities you are used to at home! Note - there is no AC but there is a fan on the balcony.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

Graphic and web designer Fabio Sasso is best known for his Photoshop artworks and tutorials. He is also co-founder of Zee, a web-design studio and runs a hugely successful digital arts and creativity blog, Abduzeedo.
Photoshop's Lens Flare filter is an effect that's been so over used over the years, it's become something of a cliché in digital illustration. Which is a shame, since in the right situation, it can provide a powerful lighting enhancement to a piece.
See also: 86 Best Photoshop tutorials
Luckily, Fabio Sasso has provided us with a tutorial that shows you that if you have a strong idea and unique execution, it doesn't matter if you tap an effect that's been long over-exposed to achieve the result you want.
You'll learn how to present exciting variations on an old theme through changing the position of the lens flares and creative use of the blending modes, brush tools and colour.
So get ready to become reacquainted with one of digital imaging software's strongest effects. Just stay away from those default settings...

HEATHER AND KEVIN'S WEDDINGOctober, 2009 in Pine Mountain
"Our wedding was one of a kind. Ms. Jo was so helpful in planning the wedding. From the moment you arrive until you depart, you are treated like royalty. I have never been so impressed with someone as I am with Ms. Jo. She takes care of everything. You don't have to mess around with a larger number of vendors or worry about who has been paid and who has not. She takes care of everything. From planning the wedding to the photos and video, the cake, rehearsal, and reception. The decorating she does is so elegant and breath taking. MY husband and myself were truly blown away when we walked into the reception hall.
Ms. Jo was a true inspiration and a main ingredient to my weeding. an absolute pleasure to have worked with her and making my dream come true.
When ordering the photos and DVD be prepared to be blown away with how wonderfully they are put together and the cover is so personal and beautiful. Over all the only thing I can really say is it was way more then what I excepted. I would have everyone I know get married there."

Unlike the United States, education in Great Britain allows schools based on a particular religious faith to be pubclicly funded with the proviso they will accept children of other faiths and be cognizant of the needs of poor children. A recent survey by the Department for Children, Schools, and Families(DCSF) reveals 87 faith based schools are breaking their obligations to children and parents. Six were found to solicit "voluntary funds" from parents before admitting their children which violates the law. Thirteen schools did not admit any special needs children and 58 schools refused to give them priority in admissions. It was also revealed faith based schools admitted fewer children who receive free meals.
In the future, Philip Hunter, school ombundsman for children and parents will be given special power to check into violation of procedures regarding admissions and to make certain schools do not solicit funds from parents while discussing questions of admissions. Solicitation from parents obviously benefits students from wealthier backgrounds.
Conservatives members of parliament claim the report is an attempt to discredit the concept of parental choice while David Laws of the Liberal democrats commened: "It is uncceptable for any school to be breaking the admissions code."
We believe in choice that respects the interests of poor as well as middle and upper class children.

text: I love that 32 points in a tournament game is considered "sub-par" for this guy. With that said, he was forcing shots up at the end. The last few possessions of regulation and the beginning of overtime he took the team out of it to BYU's detriment. If his shot had been on I would have had no problem with him immediately pulling up for long threes, but he was really not hitting it today and I gotta think the better decision was more ball movement. Of course, the rest of the team wasn't making open shots either. So I'm surprised we even forced overtime the way we were shooting. We left a lot of easy points on the court today. 2 key plays that would have made a huge difference: our last scoring opportunity was a pair of free throws. We only hit one, to tie the game. At the time, I said - I REALLY wish we could have gotten that other free throw. And then Florida got the offensive rebound on their miss with about 20 seconds on the clock. If we had managed to pull down that one rebound, we would have had the chance to win the game in regulation. Jimmer with the ball for the chance to win the game and go to the Elite 8? Now that would have been something.

this year, having only sold 4,228 for the year through August in the United States. The automaker sold 10,000 Leafs last year and had hoped to double that number this year.
How does Nissan plan to fix this? For starters, it took $3,250 off the price tag of each 2012 Leaf model starting in August. This is a considerable jump from the $850 discounts it was giving back in January. The 2012 Leaf starts at $36,050.
In addition, Nissan is reducing lease costs of the 2012 Leaf from $249 per month to $219 per month with $2,999 down for 32 months.
Nissan's U.S. Leaf sales were affected by sending vehicles to all 50 states, thus having to reduce the number of Leafs sent to California. The problem here is that California is the largest buyer of the Leaf. Right now, dealerships are experiencing an excess of Leafs, having a 114-day supply. Automakers usually only want a 60-day supply at dealerships.
The Leaf also had battery troubles this year, where
EVs in Arizona experienced a shorter battery life
due to the heat. However, Nissan said that these vehicles had thousands of miles on them and that the battery capacity loss was "normal" for that amount of drive time.
"The sales overall have not met our expectations, but we're working hard to keep pushing," said David Reuter, a Nissan spokesman.
The discounts only apply to 2012 models. The
2013 Nissan Leaf
won't be released until early next year.

The Canisius College rowing team fell to Yale in the morning session of the Longhorn Invitational, and dropped the afternoon session to Texas on day one of the event.
The Varsity Eight, which was comprised of freshman Amber Giambone, sophomores Molly Murphy, Corrine Kickel, Julie Sciandra and Nora Kennon, seniors Lizabeth McKinney, Allison Braun and Bridget Lazewski, and sophomore coxswain Hannah Blum, kept it closest with the Bulldogs, finishing in 7:18.88, to Yale's 6:44.2.
"I'm proud of how hard our women raced Yale -- despite the huge deficit in power and racing experience," said head coach Joel Furtek. "There's still a lot to clean up, but we could see great gains from a week ago and look forward to the afternoon racing."
The Varsity Eight followed their morning performance with a time that was just over one second faster in the evening, but the Longhorns managed to pull out a victory by 23 seconds.
The Varsity Four raced first in the event for Canisius. Freshmen Jenni Vinci, Lauren Bielby and Jordan Szustak, sophomore Nicole Littlejohn and freshman coxswain Kaitlyn Taylor finished the 2,000-meter course in 8:35.40, behind Yale's time of 7:37.6.
The boat finished the course in the night session in 8:37.9, with Texas rowing to a win in 8:01.06.
They were followed by the Second Varsity Eight of Freshmen Mikaela Braun, Chanel Davis, Erin Grim and Liz DelBarba, sophomores Megan Walsh and Ashley Tylenda, junior Liz Reinwald, senior Meghan Martin and sophomore coxswain Jordan Bamrick. The Griffs finished the race with a time 7:40.48, which was just under 45 seconds behind the Yale boat.
The crew finished the course in almost identical time the second trip down, finishing in 7:40.7, and wasn't enough for the Longhorns once again, who won with a time of 7:08.03.
Canisius will get back in action on Sunday vs. Tulsa at 9:50 a.m.

The strategy: To understand what's going on in China.
Are you trying to make me depressed? It's odd, isn't it, that we're worried about the economy of a country that's still growing by 7.5 per cent a year? But the slowdown in Chinese growth has come at the same time as its leadership transition, its latest outbreak of hostility with Japan, and with falling global commodity prices. The combination has raised concerns about where China is heading and how that will affect the Australian economy and share prices.
Should we be worried? In the longer term, probably not, the head of investment strategy at AMP Capital Investors, Dr Shane Oliver, says.
He says China is simply making the transition from double-digit growth to more sustainable growth of 7 per cent to 8 per cent a year.
''In a broader sense, the Chinese economy is fine,'' he says. ''It doesn't have debt problems and it's still a very poor country with huge catch-up potential. It's unlikely the new leadership will take it in a radically different direction - and 7.5 per cent is still a strong growth rate.''
Oliver says China still has plenty of scope to stimulate its economy if it needs to. But having overreacted in 2008, which led to inflation and a surge in housing prices in 2010, the Chinese leadership is unlikely to be as gung-ho this time around.
Once the leadership is settled, he says providing there are no surprises, things should start to settle down. He says the leadership will probably provide some stimulus and the economy will pick up as we go into next year, but growth will be in that 7 per cent to 8 per cent range.
And it's not just China. Oliver says we've just come through a period where strong growth all over the developing world has sparked strong demand for commodities, and while growth in these areas is still strong, ''the edge has come off a bit''. Predictably enough, this is happening at the same time as the supply of commodities is picking up due to strong mining investment, both here and overseas. Basic economics tells us that lower demand plus increased supply equals pressure on prices.
Hence the talk that the mining boom is over and scare stories about the Australian economy. There are fears that if China collapses, unemployment will rise, which will trigger falling house prices and put pressure on our banks, leading to a European-style scenario.
So how much have prices fallen? The all-important iron-ore price has fallen from a peak of $180 last year to about $110 last week. That's a big fall and has led some miners to abandon planned projects and lay off staff. But to put it in context, Oliver says that while the spot price was high in 2008, most Australian miners were getting only about $70 a tonne for iron ore. So prices are still higher than they were before the boom.
Are resource shares still a good investment? Oliver says that if actions by Europe and the US, in particular the quantitative easing in America, help turn around those economies, commodity prices may rise again. Otherwise, mining profits will come under pressure.
But he says an easing in the mining boom may have benefits for the broader economy. If it took some of the heat out of the economy, he says, it would allow room for the Reserve Bank to lower interest rates and take pressure off the Australian dollar, which could bring other sectors of the economy back to life.
''Sure, national income grew on the back of the mining boom, but not too many consumers enjoyed the benefits of that,'' he says. ''Australian consumer confidence is at the same levels of some European countries.''

I searched and have found no answers to this question. I even did a search and couldn't find a thread posted about this so here goes my question. I figured this should be the best place to find the answer I'm looking for.
In Return of The Jedi there is a scene in Jabba's palace where Boba Fett is shown drawing his blaster. I never paid much attention to it even though I've probably watched this movie a thousand times until one day for whatever reason I paused it right there. When I came back to resume the movie I noticed that not only was Boba's range finder on the wrong side but that the whole image of him had been flipped. At first I thought I had discovered something remarkable until searching the web and finding a lot of goof ups in the movie but I could find no answer to why this was done. So does anyone in this community of TDH know why this was done. Just wondering.

In 2002, I was invited to go to Mongolia to help start the first Mongolian Concrete Conference and to inaugurate an American Concrete Institute (ACI) chapter in Mongolia. If you are like me, I only had a vague idea of where Mongolia is, so I had to get a world map out to locate it. I found Mongolia is north of China and south of the Siberian part of Russia. It is completely landlocked and has an extremely large desert, the Gobi.
After reviewing all the information and deciding to make the "trip of a lifetime," we felt that in a small way we could make a difference in concrete technology in a developing country. When we arrived in Mongolia, my wife Billie and I saw several abandoned construction sites, and no ready-mixed plants or trucks.
Our host took us to some precast plants that made concrete pavers, hollow core slabs, and some small precast units. We also visited some construction sites and saw that most of the concrete was being site batched. The mixture designs that were being used were basic (about 3000 psi) and no admixtures were available. Thus, this concrete had no air entrainment to withstand the bitter cold winters.
I began to think this trip would be unsuccessful. The start of a Mongolian Concrete Conference and an ACI chapter appeared to be premature and the people unable to make basic advancements in the concrete industry due to the remoteness of the country.
I soon found out this assessment was completely off base. The engineers, contractors and people working in the concrete industry had been keeping up with the latest developments in concrete and wanted to implement them in Mongolia. At the first Mongolian Concrete Conference about 100 people attended. Even with a language barrier, the questions were detailed and thoughtful. They wanted to learn how to improve their industry.
The meeting of the Mongolian ACI Chapter had 15 members. Their first order of business was to commit to doing the Mongolian Concrete Conference each year. I was overwhelmed by their enthusiasm for improving concrete.
Over the next few years, I was able to go back to Mongolia on funded projects. Mongolia was still suffering from changes in government and economic policies. The price of copper had dropped and the country was in a recession. Roads were not being repaired, construction sites were still abandoned, engineering graduates were having trouble finding jobs, and the concrete industry appeared to be at the same stage as 2002.
At the ACI meeting in Dallas in spring 2012, a manager of a batch plant in Mongolia approached me and asked if I would be able to come to Mongolia and help train his people on concrete.
The economy in Mongolia is now booming. The price of copper has risen and new copper mines are being developed in the Gobi Desert, and construction in Ulaanbaatar is strong. His company, Premium Concrete, had just installed a central batch plant, purchased a quarry, was washing their aggregates, had 15 ready- mixed concrete trucks and were now using admixtures in their concrete.
They are trying to establish themselves as the quality and service leaders in Mongolia. Thus, they wanted the training program to help them to provide "premium" concrete and service. They are planning to seek the National Ready-Mixed Concrete Certification for their plants. A cursory inspection of the plant indicates that this is a logical next step in their quality control process.
After working with them for over a week, visiting several concrete projects, and attending this year's Concrete Conference, I am optimistic about the concrete industry in Mongolia. They are making great strides and everyone is working together to make quality concrete.
Several people have worked to help in the development of Concrete Education in Mongolia including M.R. Hansen, professor from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, the late Dick Stehly (American Engineering Testing and ACI president), Frank Kozeliski (formally president of Gallop Sand and Gravel, now consultant), Robert Ripley (marketing manager for Proceq) and John Clark (production manager for Country Materials).
We also want to thank Zircon, Kestrel, Fluke, Proceq, American Concrete Institute, several ACI Chapters and ACI members across North America and Hanley Wood for donating equipment, educational materials and money to make the Mongolian Concrete Industry a success.
Luke Snell is Senior Materials Engineer at Western Technologies in Phoenix and is chairman of the ACI 120 History of Concrete committee. E-mail email@example.com.

1. Plain old Feather / Forward Continuity2. Curved Feather / Hairpin - SQQ3. Rudolf Ronde of any variety (popular)4. RF Forward, then Rumba Cross5. Be creative... realease the lady into open position with a free spin or underarm turn of some sort.
If you underturn the last LF pivot, you can also try one of these options:
6. Turning Lock to R.7. Right-Side Hinge / Corte8. Release Lady into open position
Anyway, you get the idea. Pretty much any figure that begins with man forward on the right foot works. Or, if you underturn the last step, you can follow with any natural figure which begins with man back on RF.
While I'm at it, I should mention that the Twinkle is not the ideal entrance to pivots. Have you considered an Outside Spin or Tipple Chasse?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks for the input. You guys are right, oval port. I was looking at the exhaust. Thank you. I think that is the cam (638-00024LK). I am going over to look at it tonight. I seem to having trouble finding a set of pistons that I want. I would like to be around 10-1, or so. Or is that even an issue with the BBC? I have KB hypers in my current build, but I always said that if I could do it over I would change. I have not had any trouble with them, but it is that whole top ring thing.
The 781 heads are good, but BBC is right, they are oval. That is actually a good thing in your case, The rectangular port heads are not beneficial unless you are going to be running high RPM or large cubic inches. I found a little info on the 292. It seems like a fairly well matched cam for your setup. The only down side is that it is a single pattern which is not the best for stock heads. As far as the intake goes, I think a dual plane RPM would match your combonation much better than a tunnel ram. I know people like the look, but as far as a matched combonation, the dual plane is probably best.
Lunati cam
|Well the first thing is if I read your post right you have 781 heads, but they are not rectangular, but oval ports but should flow pretty well into the RPM range.
BBC 454 combo
Hello everyone. I am beginning to look at building a 454 to replace my 327. I cam across a 454 w/TH400 for a great price (free). It was a running engine when removed two years ago. I am a decent SBC builder, but this will be my first BBC. I am looking for some ideas for building this engine. Have not really decided to build low torque or mid-upper RPM. I really would like to run a tunnel ram w/duals. Block cast #361959, heads 336781. Upgrading the heads is not possible at this time, not enough $$$. It is an retangle port, 2 bolt main. My neighbor will be giving me a Lunati 292 (don't know more than that at this time as I have not seen it yet). Will be going in a 74 Chevy truck, 3.73 rear end. Looking to upgrade pistons, intake, carb and cam. I have a new B&M 2800 stall left over form another project. Thanks guys for any advice.

At your price level, I suggest a gently-used gun, rather than a new one.
If you buy used, you will definitely get, um, more bang for your buck.
If you buy a used Colt 1911, I strongly suggest a Series 70 or earlier, not a Series 80 or later. The Series 80 firing-pin safety is unnecessary.
The Remington couldn't be all that bad, but I dislike its not-original-design, exterior extractor.
Browning's original interior extractor was a better design, but it is more expensive to manufacture than is the exterior version.
If the gun you find has a perforated, "full-race"-style trigger, buy it anyway: 1911 triggers swap out easily and without fitting. Old-fashion solid triggers are pretty cheap.
The reason people prefer "P-shape, looped" hammers has to do with something called "hammer bite."
If your 1911 pistol doesn't have a fairly long "beavertail" grip safety, a thumb-spur, original-style hammer will reach down and peck at your hand, every time you fire it. It will draw blood, and it hurts. It will make you flinch, and that will make you miss.
Most thumb-spur hammers will not work with most protective beavertail grip safeties. All "rowel"-style, "P-shape" hammers work well with beavertail grip safeties, and, really, no beavertail is even necessary of you're using a rowel-style (Commander-style) hammer.

Hoyer starting Browns' second preseason game
Berea, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - With Brian Hoyer continuing to hold a slight lead on Johnny Manziel in the Cleveland Browns' quarterback battle, the veteran will draw the start for Monday's preseason game against the Washington Redskins.
Head coach Mike Pettine announced the decision on Thursday, though he also indicated that Manziel -- one of two first-round picks by the Browns in this year's NFL Draft -- will get work with the first-team offense in Monday's matchup.
"It's just something right now where we are comfortable with Brian going out there to start the game," Pettine said. "I think it's a little overblown as to who the starter is going to be. The key component, as I've stated earlier this week, is that we are going to balance the reps. We will play it a little by ear as it goes on, we haven't truly decided as far as the rotation but the goal is, for when we look at the stat sheet at halftime, that they both have the same amount of repetitions and hopefully they both get a good amount of work."
Hoyer also started last week's preseason opener at Detroit, completing 6-of-14 passes for 92 yards. Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, went 7-of-11 for 63 yards while operating solely with the second-team unit.
Pettine stated at the beginning of training camp that he plans to have a starting quarterback named by Cleveland's third preseason game, which takes place August 23 at home against St. Louis.
Cleveland did win all three of Hoyer's starts under center last season. In the last of those outings, the sixth-year pro sustained a season-ending torn ACL against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5.

RIBA Boycotts Israel: The Royal Institute of British Architects is proposing a boycott of the Israeli Association of United Architects over the continued development of Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has warned Israel that it faces threats of boycott if the state does not make progress in peace talks with the Palestinians.
