Head Coach
(615) 963-5973
Rod Reed enters his seventh season at the helm of the Tennessee State football program after being named head coach on December 18, 2009. He served as the associate head coach and defensive coordinator during the 2009 season.
Reed experienced immediate success as a head coach, leading the Tigers to a win in his debut game, 27-14, over Alabama A&M on Sept. 4, 2010 in the John Merritt Classic. He also broke an eight-game losing streak to Florida A&M, downing the Rattlers, 29-18, in the Atlanta Classic. Reed coached six players to All-OVC Teams including safety Eugene Clifford who also was a Sports Network, Phil Steele and BOXTOROW All-American.
The Tigers increased their win total in their second season under Reed and finished the 2011 season on a hot streak, winning four of their last six games. The stretch included a, 42-40, upset win at No. 19 ranked Tennessee Tech on Oct. 15. Reed produced even more All-OVC players in year two, as seven made postseason squads. Two more defenders garnered All-American honors under Reed's tutelage in linebacker Rico Council and Joseph Wylie. He also helped Lamar Divens and Sidney Tarver ink NFL contracts.
Big Blue continued its success in 2012 by rattling off seven straight victories to open the season. The Tigers finished the year with an 8-3 record, its best since 2001. The performance earned TSU HBCU Program of the Year honors by HBCU Huddle. Several players earned postseason accolades including running back Trabis Ward who was named to the College Sports All-American Team after running for 1,460 yards and 15 touchdowns. Three more Tigers were Sheridan All-Americans including Sherman Carter who signed an NFL deal with fellow offensive lineman Rogers Gaines following suit.
Reed turned in his finest season to date in 2013, as the Tigers finished 10-4 and won a FCS Playoff Game for the first time since 1986. It capped an impressive run in which Reed improved his club's win total by at least two in each of his first four campaigns. TSU won its first HBCU National Championship since 1982 and the team's shutout win over Butler in the first round of the playoffs was the first victory for the OVC in postseason play in nearly 30 years. A school record 12 Tigers were chosen to the league's all-conference teams at seasons end and Kadeem Edwards (143rd) and Demetrius Rhaney (250th) were selected in the NFL Draft.
In 2014, Reed's defense ranked inside the top-10 for the third straight season. Middle linebacker Nick Thrasher tallied 128 stops on the season, which was sixth-most in a single-season in school history and the highest total for a Tiger since 1991. Thrasher also moved up to second-place in tackles in the TSU record book over the course of the season, finishing with 358. Quarterback Mike German threw for 2,846 yards on the year, helping him break the 34 year old school-mark with 8,664 career yards.
Reed has coached a total of 22 All-Americans and 49 All-OVC Players in his five seasons as a head coach and has staked a 32-27 record.
He began coaching at TSU in 2003 and served as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. At the conclusion of the season in which Reed returned to the TSU sideline, the Tigers led the OVC in total defense for the first time in school history. The defense accomplished the same feat in 2008 finishing at the top of the OVC in total defense.
A keen recruiter as an assistant, Reed was responsible for bringing several notable key players into the TSU program. Reed is noted for recruiting Javarris Williams (2009 seven-round draft pick, Kansas City Chiefs), Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (2008 first-round draft pick, Arizona Cardinals), Shaun Richardson, Lamar Divens (Baltimore Ravens, 2008) and Corneilus Lewis. He has also coached All-America and professional player, Jamie Landrom (Jacksonville Jaguars).
Reed was a four-year letter winner for the TSU Tigers from 1984 - 1988. He capped off his career by being named Sheridan All-America his senior season. He set the Tiger record for career tackles from his linebacker slot and in 1987, he set the single season record for tackles with 197. He helped lead the Tigers to the second round of the 1986 Division I-AA playoffs and was selected as Defensive MVP in 1987 and 1988.
Following completion of his bachelor's degree, Reed entered the coaching profession. He held positions at Prairie View A&M (Linebackers, 2001), Bethune-Cookman University (Linebackers, 92-96), and Seabreeze High School (DC, 96-00) in Daytona Beach, Fla. Within those positions he coached five first-team all-conference linebackers and a pair of All-Americans.
Before coming to TSU, Reed previously coached at East Texas Baptist College (00-03) in his hometown of Marshall, Texas. He served as defensive coordinator for East Texas Baptist, which launched its football program during the 2000 season.
The 2002 Texas Baptist defense ranked second in their conference in scoring defense and third in rushing defense. The team did not allow points in either the first or third periods through the first eight games in 2002.
Reed is the son of Robert Reed, Jr., an All-America offensive guard for the Tigers in 1963 and 1964 who later played professionally for the Washington Redskins.
Reed is the university's Fellowship of Christian Athletes representative and in 2009 he participated in the NCAA Football Coaches Academy. He and his wife, Tamika, are the parents of four children, Terry, Takara, Briah, and Marcel.

Summary of President Obama's Budget Blueprint for Federal Student Aid
Mark Kantrowitz
January 30, 2012
This article summarizes President Obama's FY2013 budget proposals for the federal student aid programs. Most of these proposals will require Congressional approval before they can be implemented. The combined cost of the President's proposals are in excess of $10 billion per year.
Editor's note: This article has been updated to reflect the education appendix to the FY2013 budget, as released on February 13, 2012.
Student Loan Interest Rates
Who: 7.4 million undergraduate students receiving need-based subsidized Stafford loans in 2012-13.
What: The fixed interest rate will be 3.4% instead of 6.8%.
Who Doesn't Benefit: The interest rates on subsidized Stafford loans to graduate and professional students will remain at 6.8%. The interest rates on unsubsidized Stafford loans will remain at 6.8% for all students.
Duration: The change is a one-year extension of the 3.4% interest rate, just for new loans in 2012-13. It is not a permanent extension.
Impact: The average subsidized Stafford loan to undergraduate students is about $3,500. Congress eliminated subsidized interest during the 6-month grace period after graduation for new loans in 2012-13 and 2013-14. Assuming that the students capitalize the interest during the 6-month grace period, the difference in total payments over the life of the loan will be $888 on a 10-year repayment term ($7.40 per month) or $1,855 on a 20-year repayment term ($7.73 per month). Assuming a typical distribution of repayment terms, an additional year of 3.4% fixed-rate subsidized Stafford loans to undergraduate students will cost the federal government more than $7 billion.
Background: The College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-84) enacted a phased-in interest rate reduction on subsidized Stafford loans to undergraduate students, gradually reducing the interest rates from 6.8% to 3.4%. This legislation was enacted to fulfill the Democrats' "Six for '06" pledge to slash the interest rates on student loans in half. The interest rates were reduced from 6.8% in 2007-08 to 6.0% in 2008-09, 5.6% in 2009-10, 4.5% in 2010-11 and 3.4% in 2011-12. If Congress does not act, the interest rates will be 6.8% in 2012-13.
Subsidized Interest to Undergraduate Students
What: The Obama administration proposed to eliminate subsidized interest on subsidized Stafford loans borrowed for education beyond the 150% timeframe limitation.
Background: The Budget Control Act of 2011 elimianted subsidized interest on subsidized Stafford loans to graduate and professional students for new loans originated on or after July 1, 2012. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012 eliminated subsidized interest on subsidized Stafford loans to undergraduate students during the 6-month grace period after graduation for new loans originated in the 2012-13 and 2013-14 award years. The new proposal would eliminate an additional subset of subsidized interest payments by the federal government.
Double the Number of Federal Work-Study Jobs
Who: About 713,000 mostly undergraduate students currently receive Federal Work-Study jobs as part of their need-based financial aid packages. (About 4% of the jobs go to graduate and professional students.) The number of Federal Work-Study jobs would increase to 1.4 million per year, phased in over five years. There would be 110,000 additional Federal Work-Study jobs in FY2013, at a cost of $150 million.
What: The Federal Work-Study program provides part-time jobs to college students to help them earn money to pay for college costs, such as tuition and textbooks.
Impact: The typical Federal Work-Study job involves 8-12 hours of work per week and pays an average of $1,642 per year. Wages must be at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. The federal government pays 75% of the wages, with the remaining 25% paid by the employer (usually the college). The cost to the federal government for this proposal, when fully phased-in, will be about $1 billion a year.

I was searching the web this evening and ran across this forum. Looks like a pretty neat place to hang out.
So I thought that I would introduce myself. My name is Dani and I am currently in FL. I loooooooove duck hunting and turkey hunting. I've not been upland hunting very much but that is a lot of fun too. I am mostly a puddle duck hunter as I've only got a canoe right now, but I do get out into the saltmarshes as well as fresh water marshes around FL.
Anyway, just thought I'd introduce myself to everyone here...

hi,up here in maine, got a '62 chevy 283 with 283 power pack heads (194s)thinking about boreing it .030 over. maybe a mild cam. what would be a decent vehicle to implant it in. or am I just wasteing my time with it. was thinking a late model s-10, or maybe an 80's camaro (not my favorite choice, but they are cheap up here.)what do you think?
oh and also, if you have any tips on how to build it, I am all ears,this is my first engine build, my uncle gave me the engine.he has one in his '69 camaro with a 4 speed behind it. heard they were a pretty good engines back in the day.
Whether or not you're "wasting your time" depends on a lot of things...Obviously larger displacement engines are going to make more power a lot easier but if you're just looking for an engine to rebuild and looking to keep the costs at a bare minimum I wouldn't say a 283 is wasting time. You're going to need to get more specific about what kind of help you need. There have been books written on how to rebuild small block Chevy engines and I'm not going to do that here.
oh, sorry, my mistake, the heads are actually 1.72 intake 1.50 exhaust with 59cc combustion chamber. so I guess they make pretty decent compression.
What's your budget? Some of these 283 blocks can go .060 over with no problem,s/r replacement heads have a 58cc chamber designed for 305's w/ 1.94's and their priced right.Nice little legendary runners those 283's! WIEDER
put a set of vortec heads on it you ll gain a lot of flow. build it for hi rpm there was an article awhile back of some guys building one with ford 300 straight six connecting rods , rod bearing spacers and je pistons in it which created a little screamer that had a short stroke long rod high compression engine. the long rods make it possible to up the comp ratio because the pistons come to a stop a lil slower and then you can pull a bunch of advance out of it allowing pump gas hi c/r and 8500 rpm to the tune of 550 hp or so , I can not remember what the bearing spacers were for but i do believe they were off the shelf items. I think the only expensive part that was out of the ordinary was the pistons, but they were only a couple hundred bucks extra. A while back c/c ran every allowable combination of sbc you could build and there was a sidebar on the ole 283 saying the vortec heads would make it worthwhile to do a 283 screamer. Just remember it will cost you about the same to do the 283 as it would to build a 350 maybe more but you already lose because of the loss of the extra cubes right out of the gate. What i would do is splayed mains, the long rods forged je pistons , vortec heads and some headers with a 600 cfm vacumn secondary carb, and a decent cam with a good intake built for the hi revs and expect to buzz the thing into nosebleed rpms arena
You've got a solid engine to build. 283's were almost indestructable, I am thinking about buying one for my 1980 Malibu. About your build? Depends on what you want to do with it. Don't listen to these guys saying waht you can't do cuz of the small displacement. If you have the powerpack heads, you most likely have an old 283 from a second gen Corvette. You can get very conservative power gains, while maintaining nice street driven response, with those heads. All depends on what you want to do with it and how much you are willing to spend. However if you want to go with 1.94 intakes/1.50 exhuast, try to find a set of 305 heads, they have small combustion chambers and hvae 1.94/1.50's in some castings. You can pick a set up in a junkyard and refurbish them ALOT cheaper than buying a set of "performance" heads. Also check to see if they'll fit on your engine, as your bore is 3.875," nd the 305's is 3.736. I mean 305 heads fit on 350s, so they may fit on a 283. Heck you want small combustion chambers, check into a set of 267 heads. They are closed chamber, with 1.72/1.50 valves. That engine has 3.5" bore, so it'd be a tiny CC on your engine. Just some suggestions. Heads aren't cheap, and using Vortec heads WILL require you to get a different intake and exhaust manifolds. Sure they will flow better. Just depends on what goal you are shooting for with this engine. Tuning a V8 is never a waste.
Guzzling gas and hauling ass, the true American way.
The largest intake valve I've heard of is 1.84 on 305 heads,and I'm sure that all 305 heads are thin cast including 267's.I personally wouldn't invest money into thin cast heads.s/r replacements complete are around $600 w/ the 58cc chambers/1.94 intakes.Great street head and plenty of air for a street 283. WIEDER
man, I wish I knew half the stuff that all of you know. all of these are great ideas. now, for the questions. I am working on a very very small budget. I was thinking about just honeing them, as they are still stock bore. im not really looking to build something that is going to tear up the streets. just looking to have a nice "golden oldie" that runs well and maybe has a little kick. sounds like the best way for me to do that, is to use a set of 305 heads and a mild cam. wouldw it be worth overhauling my power pack heads? just so that atleast the heads and block have matching numbers? again, you guys have taught me so much in just the few posts in wich i have recieved. thank you.
Put it in a chevette
I don't know if the 305 heads will fit. Your powerpacks are a great head. I was just suggesting some heads that would have smaller combustion chambers. Weider is right about the thin casting on 305 and 267 heads. They are prone to cracking. If you get the power packs worked on, it'll run probably between 400-600 bucks. That is for port-polish, and most likely screw in rocker studs. Call some machine shops and ask them to give you an estimate. If you are going with a mild cam. Lunati VooDoo series and Edelbrock Performer packages not only would be a good chioce for the street, but they can be purchased with a matching intake manifold for a resonable price. Also if you are gion mild you can porbably get away with a 500 cfm four barrel carb. That should help with fuel atomization, since it is smaller carb. Too big of a carb, will just cause the engine to waste the gas it's pulling through. If you decide on a cam, try to post the specs, your cam is the mechanical "brain" of your engine. It determine a majority of your engine's performance. When you call to order your cam, make sure to let the sales rep. know what engine and heads you have, they can better recommend a cam to your specific build.
Guzzling gas and hauling ass, the true American way.
sounds good. I did find a set of H.O. 305 heads for only 100 bucks. would it be worth it?
Those H.O. heads are thin casting also,install hard exhaust seats on your powerpacks,blend just below valve seats and screw-in studs along with the rest of the rebuilding also gasketmatch intake entry. Buy a complete cam kit also when you get to that stage. WIEDER
Depends. PowerPak heads are old style without any front accessory holes. In a modern car, you'll need to keep some of the accessories in place so run modern heads. 305 Vortecs will flow, but they need designated manifolds. 305 HO heads are cheap and they come in small (57cc 416 casting #) and smaller (53cc 601 casting #). OK, they only have 1.84 valves but that's still more than you have now. They accept Z28 springs so you can run some cam. The cleanup and bowl work you would do the PowerPaks will get you more on either of these. They both have induction hardened seats already. If you are careful with the valve service, they will be fine. Spend your grinder time on the exhaust side working the short radius.PowerPaks are 60cc, so either 305 head will push the compression ratio up. The 416 heads will get you to into the 8.8 range and the 601 will get you into the 9.5 range. Run you stock cam or the 929 300HP 327 cam and 1.6 rockers and you should be OK. Clay the valve clearances to be sure? You can juggle CR with head gaskets. They range from 0.015 for the steel shim to 0.041 for the thick Fel-Pro composition gasket. Shoot for a squish area clearance of about 0.045 plus a bit and you should be OK
I wouldn't shame an engine by putting anything from 305 on it. the 305 is a black eye on the SBC.

You may have seen my gloves I made last year from a couple pairs of $1 work gloves.
Last week I found some gloves at a thrift store that looked to be parade gloves. I dyed them with Peal Grey RIT dye, and I've started with the patches. They fit 10 times better than my old ones, and I'm pretty happy with them. Only problem is they are polyester, and I'd rather get cotton ones. I guess this can just be a practice pair.
I'll post some more photos tonight, hopefully they'll be almost finished.

Renting a car of a van/minivan group in Arjeplog, Sweden will be perfect for those who are planning a large group travel with lots of luggage.
The group of van/minivan vehicles is often introduced by the following car models:
Minivans are considered 6-seater through 9-seater vehicles, while 10-seater through 12-seater cars are regarded as vans. In addition, minivans are often compared with estate cars, due to their similar exploitation characteristics and body shape.
However, the main feature of vans and minivans is that every driver has the ability to individually adjust the space of the cabin thanks to easily removable passenger seats.
So, in what cases is it reasonable to rent van/minivan in Arjeplog, Sweden?
In most cases the minimum required age for van/minivan rental is 25 or 26. However, sometimes under 25 years old drivers, i.e. drivers aged 21 through 24, also have the opportunity to rent a vehicle of this group, but in this case they are subject to young driver's age surcharge. The amount of this fee depends on a particular car hire vendor.
Please, check out rental conditions of a particular van/minivan vehicle to find out the exact age requirements.
Sometimes if, for example, you are going to travel with children or want to visit some place in the winter time, it's very useful to include some extras into your car rental reservation. So, here are the options you can choose from to add to your booking:
If you need a vehicle of a particular model in Arjeplog, Sweden, then search for the deals marked as "guaranteed car models" on our website.
In other cases car hire vendors cannot ensure that a car model, which was advertised online, will be provided for you at the rental counter. Instead of that you will be offered a vehicle of the same group with similar characteristics.

Parker has potential series ending hammy to deal with so that could affect the series outcome.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by booggerg, Feb 20, 2009.
Amare gone for the season.
But would his eye have been poked if we were in the process of acquiring him?
If we traded for him it would have saved his eye.
Joe D is going to have to live with that...
his eye was already susceptible to being poked... it would have been poked as a pistons regardless.
Rufus Henry Version 2.0
this is hilarious LOL should email this to suns.com
It might have been a good thing. We would tank the season and get a high lottery pick this year and Amare would be ready to go next season.
I thought that was what we were doing already?
If you did that, it's genius. BDL, what do you think?
Yes, open up paint and let it roll!!!!
From what I've heard Michael Curry is absolutely infuriated over this as he is a big fan of the "Pirates Of The Carribbean" Series and really thinks we need a hybrid pirate player in the line-up...I guess earlier in the season he asked Alex Acker to put on an eyepatch and yell out phrases such as "arghhhh!!!" and "ahoy matey!!!" throughout the games and practice. No wonder why he got shipped to the Clippers.
Hell yeah, we would have been in real good shape if that happened. We would essentially tank the season and then get a lottery pick and a healthy Amare ready to go next year. Ala Miami Heat last year. Ahhh that would have been sweet, haha.
LK, this is a great rendering of what Amare's eye patch will look like once he gets the green light from his doctor to begin playing again. I read on Hoops Hype this morning (I'll try and find the link) that Amare's agent has contacted Rufus Henry to help in rehab efforts and teach him the fine art of playing with one eye. In a related story (again I'll try and find the link), the Suns' trainer has contacted a product development team at Nike and they've already began work on Amare's signiture Nike "Air Patch". These should start showing up at Foot Locker and Lens Crafters in the coming weeks.
Hopefully he still be 22+ and 9+ with one eye. and LOL @ Amar'e eyepatches.
The Amar'e patch will sell millions once they put the Nike swish on it. I hope Rufus is negotiating to get a cut.
Separate names with a comma.

Reviews of this property
Luigi ist ein sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Das Apartment ist wie beschrieben. Mit dem U-Bahn ist die Innenstadt wirklich schnell zu erreichen.
Luigi is a very friendly and helpful host . The apartment is as described . With the underground the downtown is really fast to achieve.
Luigi has been very nice and helpfull,giving advice about transport, restaurants, etc. And always available ir we need something.
Te studio Was very clean and confortable and close to the metro station.
We had a very good time! Thank you Luigi
We loved our stay here. It is a 5 minute walk to the metro and then only about 10 minutes by metro to the Colloseum. It was a nice neighbourhood. We loved being able to be a tourist during the day and a local at night. We didn't use the restaurants because there were two good supermarkets a couple of minutes away and the apartment had an excellent kitchen available to it. The hosts are excellent. They left plenty of supplies in the fridge for use and there was even a Nespresso machine available to make coffee. I had a beer and drank the coffee! The room itself was huge. And if you want to watch movies then there were plenty available. You would have to be picky to find fault. Some have said that there was little natural light, which is true. But it was very quiet. And I thought that a loft would be higher up but it was a ground floor apartment We just really enjoyed it. Our hosts were just about to get married! We hope that the wedding went well. Our best wishes. Thanks for a great stay

The loft in Rome was amazing and wonderful! It's very modern but yet so cosy you will feel like being home. Tiziana and Luigi are great hosts who will help you whenever you have a question. You can find all you may need in the loft (towels, dishes, movies, phone recharger, ...). There is also a kitchen for your own use. It is very close to the Metro Station Libia and from there you are in the city in ten minutes.
We could not have chosen a better place to stay! :)
Absolute super nice place to stay, only recommended. Price / performance ratio is absolutely unbeatable, am very satisfied and will always Tiziana friend and certainly book again. Tiziana and her friend are super nice and hospitable, we felt like home. Thanks.

We had a wonderful week in Rome, not least because of the very kind and generous hosts Tiziana and Luigi and the beautiful and perfectly equipped loft. In the morning there was coffee and excellent homemade sweet treats. Even the fridge was always full rich. We can highly recommend this place, even if it is just outside. The nearby metro station "Libia" brings a quick and convenient to all major places. (10 minutes to Termini). Along the way, there is a supermarket, bakery and some other shops. Immediately prior to the metro station, there is a cash machine.
Conclusion: highly recommended!

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche in Rom, nicht zuletzt auch wegen den überaus freundlichen und großzügigen Gastgebern Tiziana und Luigi und dem wunderschönen und perfekt ausgestatteten Loft. Morgens gab's Kaffee und hervorragende selbstgemachte süße Leckereien. Auch der Kühlschrank war stets reich gefüllt. Wir können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen, auch wenn sie etwas außerhalb liegt. Die nahegelegene Metrostation "Libia" bringt einen schnell und günstig zu allen wichtigen Plätzen. (ca. 10 min zum Termini). Auf dem Weg dorthin gibt es einen Supermarkt, Bäcker und einige andere Läden. Unmittelbar vor der Metrostation gibt es einen Geldautomat.
Fazit: sehr empfehlenswert!

We were very happy with the accommodation. The service was top notch, the room was large, bright and fully refurbished. The bathroom very fine. Fine with utensils and refrigerator. The site was conveniently located for the restaurants, shopping and metro. The only drawback was that there was quite dark due to the only window placement that was so loud that it could not be opened without using a ladder.
Vi var meget tilfredse med indkvarteringen. Servicen var helt i top, rummet var stort og lyst og nyistandsat. Badeværelset meget fint. Fint med bestik og køleskab. Lokaliteten lå godt i forhold til restauranter, indkøbsmuligheder og metro. Eneste minus var, at der var ret mørkt på grund af det eneste vindues placering, som sad så højt, at det ikke kunne åbnes uden brug af stige.
we were impressed by Tiziana's simply great hospitality and superfriendly reception. The room is extremely large, very well furnished and absolutely quiet. Although not located in the city centre, connections by bus and metro are very good, and the neighbourhood is funny, with various good places for eating or simply for a drink. We strongly recommend it

WASHINGTON -- The Concord Coalition today urged Congress and the president to run budget surpluses at least as large as Social Security's annual surplus, which has been borrowed each year since 1983 to mask the size of annual budget deficits.
While the latest projections from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predict a budget "surplus" of $14 billion by 2001 under current policies, that surplus is only possible by borrowing Social Security's surplus of $130 billion in that year. Without borrowing the Social Security surplus, CBO projects the deficit would be $116 billion in 2001, and balance would never be reached before the Baby Boomers begin retiring in mass in 2008.
"Policy makers who are lining up to spend those so-called budget surpluses should keep in mind that the money they are talking about consists entirely of Social Security's annual trust fund surpluses," said Martha Phillips, executive director of the Concord Coalition. "We should be saving those surpluses to prepare for the retirement of the Baby Boomers, which will put a huge financial strain on future taxpayers."
A Presidential Commission headed by Alan Greenspan recommended in 1982 that payroll taxes be increased in order to partially pre-fund the retirement of the Baby Boomers, the largest generation in American history. But rather than saving the surpluses to prepare for the massive demographic shift, Congress has borrowed them ever since for other government programs.
Since 1983, $647 billion has been borrowed from Social Security's trust fund to lower the size of annual U.S. budget deficits. Money borrowed from the trust fund will have to be paid back through tax increases or benefit cuts once the Boomers start collecting their Social Security retirement checks.
Phillips said the best way to meet future needs is to follow through on the Greenspan Commission's 1983 recommendation and exclude the Social Security surplus from any calculation of future budget surpluses.
She also pointed out that while the Social Security system is running annual surpluses today, it will begin running growing annual deficits around 2012.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Much like the student-athletes they mentor, college coaches are always learning.
Some coaches read books. Some go on tours to talk with past and present coaches at all levels of their sport. Others step back and take a wider look at a variety of sports. This off-season, Butch Jones set his sights on basketball coaches. In the midst of his exploration of the craft, Tennessee hired a new basketball coach, and Jones' off-season project helped form a quick bond with Donnie Tyndall.
"It's been great spending time with him, talking philosophy about developing toughness and mental conditioning, getting to know him not just as a coach, but as a person," Jones said at the Big Orange Caravan stop Monday night. "We've really hit it off, so I looking forward to growing and elevating our relationship. There's so many parallels between basketball and really any sport, really, with the grind that it is and working through some things."
The new Vols hoops coach, a fellow Michigan native, has been thankful for the attention.
"Coach Jones has been fantastic," Tyndall said. "He's spent a lot of time with me, probably too much with as busy as he is. He's a guy that has really gone out of his way to make me feel comfortable and to give me pointers and ideas. We went out to dinner the other night until about 1:00 in the morning just talking. He's been unbelievably helpful and a great friend thus far. I wish I could help him as much as he helps me."
Jones' familiarity with the art of coaching basketball runs deep. He counts Miami Heat head coach Erik Spolestra as a close friend and had the NBA title-winner in to speak to the Volunteers during fall camp last season. But Jones wanted to dig deeper this off-season.
"I wanted to study their floor command, their floor presence. In basketball, you have to coach on every single possession, how they manage the bench, how they manage the grind," Jones said. "Coach Spolestra has been a great resource, but I also went to NCAA Regionals and sat back and watched the overall coaching demeanor."
And no moment in the developing relationship with Tyndall has been wasted, not even the short trip to Chattanooga for the Caravan stop.
"On the car ride down here, we were talking about the command of timeouts and what you're doing from diagramming last-second plays, how many times do you practice them throughout the course of the season, managing the mental aspect of losing a game or winning a game and getting your team to focus on playing again in a day or two," Jones said of the trip.
The situations they entered at UT are very similar, with both coming in near the end of a recruiting period and faced with having to remake a roster with a tough Southeastern Conference schedule looming. Dealing with the whirlwind and the demands has been perhaps the biggest area where they have bonded.
"I asked him today if he was still working off of momentum, energy and the adrenaline," Jones said. "And it's all of the above. I know what he's going through. There will be nights that I'll call him at 11:00, 11:30 at night and they're still in the office grinding it out. When you talk about similarities, we're both very appreciative of the opportunity to be here at the University of Tennessee, it's a very special place."
Tyndall doesn't mind the extra commitments that come with being at that special place. He has been a star at the Caravan stops and has relished the opportunity to see the fan base up close.
"I haven't been a place where the fans are as passionate as they are here at UT," said Tyndall. "But that's exciting. I think it's fun that our fans are a little bit crazy in a good way. That excites me and certainly I'm proud to be a part of it. I'm a people person by nature, I like to get to know people and build relationships."
Shop talk and a shared home state isn't the only common ground the two coaches have found, though. Jones' time in East Tennessee has given him a leg up on another very important topic.
"I think one of the biggest things is telling him where to eat in Knoxville," he said with a laugh. "So I've given him the lay of the land in terms of restaurants."

Dodgers take U-turn on philosophy
Dodgers take U-turn on philosophy
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers veered from assistant general manager Logan White's typical Draft strategy by taking more hitters than pitchers early and more college players than high school players overall in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft. The Dodgers picked a fairly even draft by selecting 24 hitters and 21 pitchers, but 10 of the team's first 16 picks were hitters, a twist from White's typical emphasis on pitching. The team also selected the same number of outfielder and infielders, 11 each, to go with two catchers. "This year you've kind of got to go with what the Draft gives," said White, who was "ecstatic" about the outcome. "You look at the history we've have had. Quite a few pitchers come up and make the big leagues from the Draft. We've always liked to take a balance, but I think this year the Draft gave us a few more hitters."
Los Angeles favored college players over high schoolers, with 26 picks attending college and 19 coming straight from high school, although 13 of the 21 pitchers came from high school. This trend was particularly apparent early with Los Angeles selecting eight straight college prospects after taking high school pitcher Ethan Martin in the first round."I also felt like that's where stronger talent was," said White, adding the team especially looked for collegiate power hitters. The Dodgers picked a number of players who have been selected before, including pitcher Allen St. Clair (seventh round this year, seventh last year), outfielder Nick Buss (eighth this year, 35th to the Dodgers last year), outfielder Lenell McGee (13th this year, 26th round in 2006) and pitcher Jonathan Runnels (29th this year, 29th last year), whose grandfather Pete Runnels enjoyed a 14-year Major League career. Los Angeles also drafted shortstop Devaris Strange-Gordon (fourth round), the son of 20-year Major League reliever Tom Gordon, third baseman Austin Yount (12th), the nephew of Hall of Famer Robin Yount, and Brian Ruggiano (23rd), the brother of former Dodgers farmhand and current Ray Justin Ruggiano. Of the high school players, pitcher Christopher Joyce (10th round) has signed with UC Santa Barbara, pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (11th) has signed with Texas A&M and underwent Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery in high school, pitcher Daniel Coulombe (17th) has signed with USC, pitcher David Rollins (19th) has signed with Missouri, third baseman Zackary Cox (20th) has signed with Arkansas, pitcher Cody Weiss (26th) has signed with LaSalle and pitcher Matthew Magill (31t)] has signed with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. "We've got some high school picks who down the line ... project into pretty good players," White said.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers selected high school outfielder Melvin Ray in the 33rd round although he has a football scholarship to Alabama. The football recruiting Web site Rivals.com ranks Ray as the 18th-best wide receiver in the class of 2008.White said Ray enjoys both football and baseball, although the Dodgers official noted the team drafted him aware that his football interests are "very strong." "He's an athlete -- we always like to get quality athletes," White said. "We'll let him play out this summer and just kind of go from there. We just want in advance to recognize the type of player he is." Although it wasn't a typical Dodgers Draft, the team restocked its entire system while focusing mainly on collegians and hitters earlier on. For that, White could not have been happier after flying home to Phoenix at the conclusion of the Draft. "We're thrilled," he said. "Of course every year we're going to at least say we're happy, but I really feel strongly that this Draft is really good. I think we're going to look back in a few years and say it's probably going to compare [among our] best."

"The UST Online MEd Program works well for me because I am very busy all the time," Vela said. "I work about 12 hours a day as director of Little Genius Club child care center and I have two young daughters at home. Taking classes online helps me multitask and gives me the flexibility to do my coursework when I have time." Vela grew up in Mexico and came to the United States in 1997, and earned a degree in business administration from the University of Houston in 2001. Vela worked for six years at JPMorgan Chase. After the birth of her first child, her career interests shifted toward education. She came to UST to make the transition from the corporate world to the teaching profession. She worked as a bilingual Pre-kindergarten and kindergarten teacher in both HISD and in Pearland. In 2007, she created the concept of Little Genius Club, Inc. early Childhood Center, and with the help of investors, the center was open for business in 2008. She returned to UST again in 2009 to begin a principal certification program, and she enrolled in UST's Online MEd program in August of 2010.
In addition to the convenience of online classes, Vela said she chose to pursue her graduate degree at St. Thomas because the UST School of Education has an excellent reputation among educators. Vela said she is fortunate that the Program's grant covers her entire tuition in the fall and spring semesters.
"I believe you get a quality education at St. Thomas," she said. "It's more personal; you get to build relationships with professors and classmates even though the classes are online. As an educator, I can relate to what I'm learning. Through the online class discussion boards, my classmates share their real-life experiences, and I am learning about the best practices in education."
The Program provides students with academic and leadership foundations they need to advance in their professional career. Graduate students learn how to enhance communication skills with students, parents, colleagues and administrators; a variety of teaching and leadership methods that provide an ideal environment for learning; how to interpret and evaluate educational literature and research and how to solve problems effectively in a school or district while integrating the community's expectations and values.
Vela views her participation in the graduate program as an opportunity to be a role model for other Hispanic students.
"I am a first-generation immigrant who came to this country with no resources, no support, no family but a very big dream; education has shaped my life," Vela said. "I feel the responsibility to lead by example. That's what I'm doing for my children, for the families I serve at Little Genius Club and for the teachers who work there. I want them to see that when you work hard and persevere, you can be successful."

Twenty-five years ago, 15-year-old Quinton Higgins spent about a month in Kosair Children's Hospital after suffering lung damage and second- and third-degree burns in the fiery bus crash.
Today, Higgins drives a Hardin County Schools bus.
The differences between the bus he drives every school day and the repurposed 1977 Ford B-700 school bus he was in that night in 1988 are like "night and day," Higgins said.
"It's just a totally different bus today," he said.
The bus Radcliff First Assembly of God purchased from Meade County Schools was manufactured without a fuel-tank guard. It ran on gasoline and featured two exits – one in front and one in back.
In March 1989, the National Transportation Safety Board issued a report citing alcohol impairment as the probable cause of the wreck.
However, contributing to the severity was "puncture of the bus fuel tank and ensuing fire in the bus, partial blockage by the rear bench seats of the area leading to the rear emergency door, which impeded rapid passenger egress and the flammability of the materials in the bus seat cushions," NTSB investigators said.
Included in the report were recommendations to reduce the flammability of buses and improve fuel systems and access to emergency exits.
John Skaggs, HCS director of transportation, said the biggest difference between modern school buses and the 1977 B-700 is the fuel type.
Today, school buses are fueled by diesel as opposed to gasoline, Skaggs said. According to Kentucky's 2013 school bus specifications, "diesel fuel" should be painted in 1-inch black lettering near the fuel access cover.
Furthermore, all fuel tanks are protected and built into the frame of the bus, he said.
Sharon Rengers, a registered nurse at Kosair Children's Hospital and representative of Safe Kids Louisville, said bus seats have changed significantly since the crash and now are composed of flame-retardant materials.
"A Kentucky bus will not burn," Rengers wrote in an email. "If there happens to be a car under the bus, the bus will not burn, but the seats will probably melt without the toxic fumes that killed so many kids on that day."
Another major obstacle during the crash, Skaggs said, was the availability of exits. The front exit was blocked, meaning passengers only had access to the rear emergency door.
In addition to front and rear exits, Skaggs said passengers on HCS buses have access to a side door, four push-out windows and two roof hatches that can be used if the bus is on its side.
"If anything happens, there's a way off the bus," he said.
John Wright, spokesman for Hardin County Schools, said there is a 25-inch staging area around the side door and a 36-inch clearing around the rear exit.
According to Wright and Rengers, Kentucky bus specifications are among the most stringent in the United States.
"Kentucky now has one of the safest school buses in the country," Rengers said. "Whether you are in Pikeville, Paducah or Louisville, they are all the same."
By Kentucky law, students participate in four emergency bus evacuations each year, Skaggs said. The district's transportation department also has a safety team that visits schools to discuss bus safety with students.
Higgins, who has been a bus driver for three years, is a member of the safety team. When he visits with students, one of the topics he addresses is the bus crash.
Higgins asks students to stand up on a school bus, close their eyes and lean on one another. He said the exercise emulates the difficulties the bus crash victims experienced trying to escape the flames, he said.
"We couldn't see how to get off the bus," Higgins said.
Bus driving was never part of Higgins' plan, he said. He was unemployed and a woman at his church suggested he try it because he enjoyed working with kids, Higgins explained.
Higgins told the woman "no" three times before finally applying for the job, he said.
A few months after he started driving buses, Higgins was transporting a group of students back from a soccer game, he said.
It was night and he was driving along a curvy stretch of road when memories of the crash on Interstate 71 surfaced, he said.
When they stopped for dinner, Higgins took the opportunity to ask for help, he said.
"I called a friend and I told him what I was doing," Higgins said. "He talked me through it."
Higgins and his passengers made it home safely that night, and he continues to drive school buses because of his passion for working with kids, he said.
"I fell in love with it," Higgins said, "but I wasn't planning on it."

Discussion in 'February 2009' started by Dlev59, Feb 6, 2009.
Matt Bonner might be the best person, but I doubt he is the best player. lol
Maybe he's not, but holy crap is he having a great year! Matt Bonner of the San Antonio Spurs, NBA player stats and data from 82games.com He takes 81% jump shots and has an eFG of .678. If AI had that % on his jump shots and did everything else the same, his scoring average would increase by 6 ppg and he'd be 3rd in the NBA right now, even with limited shots. The Spurs are +191 with him on the court this year and they are actually down without him at -21. Can you believe that without Matt Bonner, the Spurs have been a loser this year? The team eFG jumps from 49% without him to 54% with him. They win 75% of the stints with him on the floor vs. only 67% for Duncan. The only reason that I mention all this is because Matt Bonner is the Spurs version of Amir Johnson. He starts most games, yet he only averages 23 minutes per game. Despite his limited playing time, he has the highest foul rate on the team and almost leads in total fouls. Like Amir, Bonner also leads his team in FG% and has the highest offensive rebounding rate on their team behind Duncan. He also blocks more shots that you would imagine, with the 3rd highest block rate on the Spurs. Bonner didn't start in the league until he was 24 years old, which is almost 7 years older than Amir when he was drafted. Even though Bonner got a late start, it took him 5 more years + the trust of a confident veteran coach to finally blossom. Starting for the Spurs is no small accomplishment. We're talking about a guy who averaged 4 ppg and committed a foul every 8 minutes last year. One more tidbit: When Matt Bonner scores 10 points or more, the Spurs are 17-2.
Matt Bonner is not the Spurs version of Amir Johnson. Matt Bonner is one of the most serious guys in the NBA. He treats this like the well paid career it is. This isn't playtime, or street ball for him. Bonner is a tireless professional. I wasn't kidding when I said he was a good person. He is what we all believe TaShawn Prince is, with substantially less raw talent. Bonner is a very cerebral player with an excellent jumpshot.
Bonner thriving beside Duncan MC puts AJ in and takes him out. But who coaches AJ? Has MC thought about Amir's personality and ways to get the best performance out of him? We are talking about a 21 year old with no college experience vs. Popovich having to go outside the normal course to get the most out of a mature player. If Joe D would have brought Bonner in during the off season, would Bonner have averaged more than 5 minutes per game with us? Would MC have the confidence to start him and keep starting him after a few 0 point performances?
Like i said before these detailed statistics change for what variables you use in the formula. For example in 82games.com bonner ranked 5th in spurs team. BTW I like amir johnson but i like maxiel more. Max has to start instead of amir.
Yeah, and he's white too. I didn't mean that they were identical. But there are lot of similarities. I didn't realize that Amir wasn't taking his job seriously btw. I was going off the assumption that he's a gym rat. He actually sounds like a pretty good guy too.
In PER. By the way, I'm really not claiming he's the best player in the NBA. I'm just pointing him out as somebody who is underrated, but who is really helping is team win.
He's added nothing to his game since last year. Hell, he's barely even added any bulk since he came into the league. I know the stats suggest something magical with the kid, but if you watch him, he's just a scrub. We all start to buy into the mythology of Joe Dumars, and assume as Ben and Tay and CB and Rip and Memo and Mike James and Dice and even Sheed were steals, that Amir has to be a steal. But just as I got over my Alex Acker man love, a guy who hasn't even had a chance to fail yet, I think it is time, after what must be nearly 2,000 minutes, to accept that Amir is a 15 MPG role player on a .500 team.
Micro, I don't understand the love affair many seem to have with Amir. Has he made some nice plays? Yes. But so do most NBA players. He was drafted at the end of the second round. Is he better than that? Yes, he probably could go in the high 20s first round. Is he the answer to our aging bigs? Doubtful. I root for him but do not have the high expectations of many. I sometimes even wonder about how far Stuckey will go and I have been high on him.
Just like anybody else on the Pistons. I understand that some ppl take the whole "i love Amir" thing to far. He is not an all star, should not even be a starter (but who else do the Pistons have) but i do think he should get consistent playing time because he brings more to the floor then just fouls. Someone posted this on another board (DBB): We are loosing now anyway, how bad can it be to just play Amir/Max/Arron and give them consistent 15-20 min per game. Everyone talks about Amir's fouling resulting in free throws (because of the bonus). But same can be said because Sheed hardly ever blocks out, guards are penetrating at will because our guard defence sucks, etc. Basketball is still a teamsport and the Pistons right now are not playing as a team and all players are to blame for that.
I'd just like to hear some explanations for why the stats are so deceiving in this one case. The explanation for Acker's stats are clear. He's only played 20 minutes this year. I'd predict that we won't score 130 points per game if we play him more. Give me any misleading stat and I'll be glad to explain it away for you. I actually liked the bonus argument by Cloud, because it was attempting to explain why the stats could be off. It made sense in a logical way. Here are just some possibilities off the top of my head:Amir is only good in limited minutes and his performance drops off after 20 minutes due to fatigue.Amir only plays in the first and 3rd quarters when the other coach hasn't yet made adjustments to totally obliterate MC's gameplan.Amir caught other teams by surprise earlier in the season and now that they are factoring him into their gameplan, his performance is starting to wane.Or... Small ball is the real stat killer and Amir was never involved in it. So, his +/- is only as good as the other guys if you exclude their small ball time.You see what I'm saying? If you are going to disagree, it would be nice to hear a hypothesis at least for why the data is skewed. Then, we can look to see if that fits. In the 3rd example, we could see if his +/- is dropping off as the season progresses. It may have, it may not have. I don't know. But declaring things like "the guy is a scrub" and "he'll be out of the league in 4 years" based on how much you personally observed him sucking doesn't really convince me. If I bought every argument like that, then I'd believe that AI is a cancer, Amar'e has no game without Steve Nash, Chris Bosh is injury prone, Billups was holding us back, and MC can coach. These are all opinions that rational people have formed based on their careful observations. Sometimes if you go only with what you observe, you can be led astray. All the data in the world couldn't convince people that the sun was at the center of the solar system. What they saw was the sun going up and the sun going down. It was obvious to them that the sun was orbiting the Earth.
So you feel that your Amir statistics are as straightforward as whether an accident occurred, and whether or not excessive speed was involved? Honestly? I also commented later on in that same thread that many of my theories were going to be quite difficult to prove in a setting that was high in both external and internal validity. Do you honestly feel you've worked your way around that as well? Of course not. So let's just agree to disagree and move on. At the same time TaS, I know when Amir isn't boxing anyone out during a possession in which the opponent gets an offensive rebound. I know when he misses a rotation, because I can see it right in front of my face. Thanks to TiVo, I can even LeeWind (copyright pending:p) over and over again to double check my original impression. I don't need to crunch numbers for that, because I know full well in basketball those numbers are equally influenced by 9 other guys. Sometimes you have to simply consider what the guy did or didn't physically do. Are you sure about that? I found it peculiar that you reduced the other players fouls to one every quarter from 13 minutes. Consequently, you upgrade Amir's less than a quarter average of 2.2 to a full quarter of only 2 fouls, which even more miraculously ends up becoming a difference of only 1 at the end of the day. I'm apparently not supposed to notice how this coincidentally helps you come to your initial estimation, but unfortunately I see things like this so often on a daily basis that my mind starts considering the variables left out of the equation rather than the destination that the author is attempting to reach. I've read many of your reports on our teams percentage of time playing "smallball". Whose definition of smallball? Mine, yours, or Michael Curry's? Seeing as how those same statistics have been used by others to insinuate that the coach is a liar, I think it was a question that should have been answered before the stats were ever broken out. Did I miss it? Did you calculate listed heights and weights of our current starting 5 and weigh it against every other lineup when you developed your baseline? What was the average player weight difference between the supposed smallball lineup, the baseline lineup, and the "BigBall" lineup that we were supposedly playing "X" percent of the time. That could all possibly be summed up by simply stating that each and every definition is subjective, but hey, no one seemed eager to point this out when those stats were used to promote the coach as disingenuous. Somewhere back there was a mention of Amir not being a defensive rebounding liability due to both teams being even in rebounds. Offensive or defensive? What was the second chance point discrepancy? Isn't that something to consider? Does Amir and Maxiell getting offensive rebounds make up for them giving up offensive rebounds on the other end of the floor in the context of a conversation concerning their effectiveness on defense? Of course not. That's why I can't get behind listing a rebound total and pointing to the lack of disparity as any sort of evidence to the contrary. I understand what you are trying to do, but honestly, for this kid, I really don't feel like wasting time thinking too much about it. I'll even take the route professor touched on some days back, and be completely honest with you and also myself- I just don't like this kid anymore. I'm sick of the hype. I'm tired of the crap. Do I think he's the worst player in the NBA? Far from it. Not too long ago I was talking to roscoe in one of these threads and I think I clearly pointed out that I still think his upside is better than anything we can get from Kwame Brown, even though I do feel that Kwame is better at this moment in time;nevertheless, I stated in that very thread that due to this upside, I would keep trying to develop him for as long as possible. But now, I find the efforts of the worldwide coalition of TeamAmir so tiring that I can't help but find myself firmly entrenched [strike]in the tundra[/strike] in their polar opposite. If they didn't exist, he'd be a young kid with a whole lot to learn. Because they do, he's the most pitiful scrub I've ever laid my eyes on, and I would rather listen to my own death rattle while I was ablaze and drowning in razor blade filled waters under 10 feet of ice than see him walk onto another NBA court ever again. Before this season even got kicked off I pointed out that it isn't simply enough for these fans to see their players get playing time, they want to see their players get "x" amount of PT, and it needs to be during certain times. This statement was vigorously refuted,yet, take a good look around..and here we are. It's driving me crazy. Every where I look, every time I listen to fellow fans go at it. So much love for this kid who hasn't done much of anything tangible besides stink it up much of the time. Love that is based on things that despite your well intentioned attempts we both know cannot be substantiated to any sort of degree that cannot be explained away by equally unsubstantiated rhetoric from the other camp. It's not you. It's me. Don't try to save me. I'm too far gone.
TEAM AMIR UNITE! Yea, Chan's one of us too.
Project "Amir" is almost done. He'll be out of the league in less than 3 years....:fingerscr
less than 3? Nah. An athletic 6-10 (ish) 21 year old that isn't a dummy off-the-court and gives effort on-the-court will get many decent chances before teams give up on him totally. Besides he's under contract until the end of next season. Even if he DNP-CD'ed for the next 1.5 years, a few teams would throw him a minimum contract. Yet, Amir is our starter. I don't think he's this amazing player/talent/etc. He's not even close to an "all-star in the making". But, there is a place in the league for players who come in and play with all-out hustle (though recklessly at times). Through his (Brief) career, he has had a very positive impact on the defensive end of the floor consistently. He has zero post-game, but he can finish plays and occasionally knock down a jumper. The Anti-AJ crew point to fouls immediately when his name is brought up, but they're the same people that complain when we're giving up a layup line while Dice and Sheed duck out of the way so they can stay on the floor. Amir commits his fair share of dumb fouls, but he also commits more "No Free Chili" fouls than anyone on the team.
It's funny, the way people feel about "Team Amir" is the way i feel about "Team AI". Luckily, i don't have to wait 2 years for that to be over, and i'm never going to have to eat crow when AI never wins a championship. Amir on the other hand still has a chance to make an impact in this league. I don't think he's going to go Darko. Point is everybody has their "guy". And the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
If this guy can play 10 years in the league, Amir should be good for at LEAST 5.
wait! you guys breakin' up?
Cloud, what's so bad about having a discussion about this? I didn't really realize I was trying to converse with someone who would rather "listen to (his) own death rattle while (he) was ablaze and drowning in razor blade filled waters under 10 feet of ice" than see Amir step foot on a court. I just figured, hey, a forum, that might be a good place to discuss the Pistons. This place would be really dull if everyone just stated who they think is wonderful and who is scrubs and stuck to it.
You are so awesome. That's kinda how I feel about Michael Curry right now.

Feeling artistic this Halloween? Sculpt a Zombie Meatloaf for your own monster friends and family. Half the fun is serving it up: "An arm for you? How about an antenna for the little ones? Care for the ribcage or the cranial cavity?" Hah!
We borrowed this idea from our friends at the Kids Cooking Club, who saw a similar idea at a party. There's even more fun when you decorate it, using slivers of red, orange and yellow peppers, stuffed olives, almonds and whatever else you may have on hand. Ketchup makes a delightful bloody mess.
Use your favorite meatloaf recipe, or try ours below, then shape it on a large baking pan or sheet with low sides. Decorate it with ketchup and stick a knife in its ribcage for effect.

text: From these pics if the receiver is the same other than being cut back for the 308 trigger guard and magazine, then it looks like the 308 hammer axis pin is higher in the receiver.I can't tell if the front to back placement has been moved. A measurement from the top edge of the receiver would show if the 308 hammer pin placement is different and maybe a measurement from the trigger pin. Maybe it is the same but raising the hammer pin would make sense to speed the lock time of the action and it would use a shorter hammer. One 308 pic shows the relationship to the selector lever. This might help when compared to a 223 rifle.

Do you have sliding door hinge ?
Yes. The hinge is still available.
Just a question. When you had the headliner down did the roof look like it would be able to support a roof rail system like most stock suv's and mini vans use. Even maybe the the older b4 passat one. It just seems like that's all the Eurovan is missing from the factory.
Thanks. I have the opportunity to get a rail system for a new dodge caravan for next to nothing and 2 systems from the Nissan xterra for the same.

Any idea what else I would need to put the folding rear seat into a regular GLS???
The jump seats you'd need to install a bracket in the floor board to "hook" the front part of the seats down when in use. It still mounts to the rear part of the seat to your front seats; you'd have to see how to mount the front part
Sell just the ECM? If so, how much shipped to 43571?

Hi guys, this is me just saying goodbye for awhile. The boards are full of great info, lots of good pics and some nice people, but I have to give up now.
I wanted to wait till tomorrow to see what happens with this, but I have to vent. Maybe I will wake up with a better mood, but I doubt it.
Long story short, I have had a very bad transaction and I cant take it anymore. I bought (paid for) a FP premium kit few months back from a board member ( NOT FETTPRIDE!!). It took over 2 months to get it in from overseas due to some delays, it happens, I know, but thats no excuse for shorting the helmet of parts or packing it like it were something like a football, or a block of wood or something else that you would REALLY have to try and break. The box was a flimsy grocery box that was maybe 3/4 of the way full with shredded paper so the helmet and parts bounced around from England to New Orleans and the helmet paid for it. It has cracks in the outer gelcoat around the top corner of the t-slot, the right lower ear piece has a chip in it and its missing half of the parts its supposed to have.
So now after fighting with my wife about the initial purchase, tying up 340+ dollars and 2 months of my life, I have nothing to show for it. I cant repair this helmet on my own, I dont have the skills or the knowledge. I put it and a jet pack for sale in the cargo hold.
Like I said guys, its just too much for me right now. All of the Vader stuff I bought went by without a single problem, all my Fett stuff has just been cursed I think!

Setting: On Oregon's north-central coast, Neskowin occupies a narrow strip of land that runs parallel to Highway 101 for about 4 miles. The heart of town stretches a half-mile between the highway and the Pacific.
Attractions: Absence of tourist traps; an excellent private school (Neskowin Valley School); Sitka Center; breathtaking coastline freckled with stumps of 2,000-year-old trees; easy access to Portland and to Oregon's wine country.
Drawbacks: Variable weather that tends toward rain nine months of the year; powerful winter storms (which many locals enjoy); an unexceptional public school system; and very little nightlife. The nearest town is 15 minutes by car.
Housing Options: Neskowin is divided into four main areas: The Village, where families live in charming cottages, many of them with picket fences, bright paint, and easy beach access; the hills, on the eastern side of 101, where homes have more acreage and high-top vistas; South Beach, with its Proposal Rock views, where many of the upscale developments are sited; and the north end of town, near the marsh, where homes may not have beach access but are slightly more affordable. There are no apartment rentals in Neskowin.
What It Costs: Cottages (1920s to 1960s) in The Village sell for $180,000 for a fixer-upper to $500,000 for a remodeled house. South Beach homes cost from $300,000 for an ocean view to $1 million-plus for a clifftop home. Neskowin Crest, an older area on a hillside west of town, offers gorgeous views but no beach access. Houses (1940s to 1970s) range from $250,000 to $500,000.
Your Next-door Neighbors: Business owners, artists, teachers, microbrewery owners, a federal judge, ad agency founders, retired pilots, real-estate agents.
How You'd Spend Your Free Time: Walking on the beach; enrolling in such classes as sea kayaking, art, and yoga at the Sitka Center; hiking the Cascade Head trails; making day trips to the Willamette Valley wine country.

The Canisius College women's soccer team concluded the 2012 regular season against MAAC rival Niagara in a Battle of the Bridge contest at Niagara Field on Saturday evening. With just over two minutes remaining in the contest, the Purple Eagles forced overtime before the two teams settled for a 2-2 draw in double overtime.
Providing the Golden Griffins' (4-14-1, 2-6-1 MAAC) scoring were sophomore Maria Nelms and junior Brianna Smith. With four shots in the contest, Smith shared the team lead with sophomore Megan Mahoney.
The Griffs dominated play in the first half, holding a 2-1 lead off a 10-5 shot advantage to enter the break. It was the third time this season that the Griffs headed into halftime with the lead.
To open the contest, the Purple Eagles (8-9-1, 3-5-1 MAAC) scored in the fifth minute to take a 1-0 lead on a breakaway by Catherine Meyer off a lead pass from Hallie Price. Despite the Purple Eagles taking the early lead, the Griffs charged forward offensively.
Following the Purple Eagles' go-ahead goal, the Griffs dominated play in the next 14 minutes leading up to the Griffs' game-tying goal. Holding a four to one shot advantage over the Purple Eagles, including three corner kicks, the Golden Griffins capitalized on an offensive fury. With junior Kelly McMahon's shot firing off the post, Nelms tapped in the loose rebound for her first goal of the season to tie the contest at 1-1.
Continuing to pepper the Niagara goal, the Griffs managed four unanswered shots. After pulling her previous shot wide of the net, Smith connected on her next shot from the top-left corner of the 18-yard box for her 11th goal of the season, seventh in conference play to give the Griffs a 2-1 lead. Freshman Kristi DeLabio setup Smith on the goal for her first collegiate point.
With under three minutes remaining in the contest, the Purple Eagles forced double overtime on an unassisted goal by Price to tie the contest at 2-2.
In the extra sessions, the Griffs managed to hold off the Purple Eagles' aggressive offense that held an 8-1 edge in shots.
The Purple Eagles finished the contest with a 24-14 shot advantage over the Griffs. Following the opening half, the Purple Eagles went onto outshoot the Griffs, 19-4.
Junior goalkeeper Megan Tock recorded the tie for the Griffs with eight saves. Niagara goalkeeper Amanda Taylor collected six saves for her first draw of the season.

Q. Could you clear something up for me please? Some newspapers and websites have stated that our goal against Birmingham was scored by Robin van Persie, whereas others said it was an own goal. Officially who is credited with it? - Stephen Harvey, North Watford
A. The Premier League Dubious Goals Committee meet regularly to discuss such issues and our goal against Birmingham was one of those being examined at the last meeting. They decided that it was in fact an own goal (by Stephen Clemence) and has therefore not been credited to Robin van Persie. All of Arsenal's official channels of communication should now reflect this.
Q. Arsenal have played in 17 FA Cup Finals, five League Cup Finals and five European Finals. Has any English club played in more? If so, what's the break down of the top clubs please? - P Jerrams, Islington
A. Arsenal's tally of 27 finals (14 of
which we won) is bettered only by Liverpool, with 32 appearances in
finals. Purely looking at domestic finals though, Liverpool,
Arsenal and Man United jointly lead the way with 22 finals.
Q. I read in the Birmingham programme (on page 36) that Arsenal was founded in 1884, but I always thought it was 1886. Can you help me out? - Darren Cox, Bristol
A. Good spot Darren - and you weren't the
only one! This was an oversight on our part, and of course the Club

Q. When Robert Pires came off in the first half of the match against Everton, there were no French players on the pitch for the remainder of the match. Has this ever happened under Arsène Wenger before? - Graham Nixon, Crouch End
A. Yes, Graham, it has, although not often. It was only the fifth time since Patrick Vieira made his Gunners debut as a 28th minute substitute on September 16, 1996, that there was not a Frenchman on the field for Arsenal.
The same occurred during the 0-0 draw at West Ham on September 24, 2005, when the starting XI did not feature any Frenchmen, although Mathieu Flamini and Gael Clichy came on as late substitutes. In addition, for 17 minutes during the Birmingham game this season there were no French players in the side.
