well i put impreza seats in my 86' GL, so yes you can, i had to swap the seat rails from the GL to the impreza seats, and drill a few holes, but thats about it. MAKE SURE TO TEST FIT BEFORE YOU THINK YOUR DONE!!!!! caution, thses seats sit up about an inch or so higher off the floorboards. but the bulstering is alot better.

Definitely doable...I also put impress seats in an 86 GL. Have a good drill and extra bits handy.

i have early 90s legacy seats in my sedan. just make sure that seat rails lock on both sides. that was the major issue i had. found a set at the junkyard that locked on both sides. and i had to cut off a few shims off the seat rails to sit the seats level.

In the 6yrs since this thread was started, many people have done the swap.
And what are impress seats?

On Friday, Jan. 18, the McDonald's Family Restaurants of Greater Washington, D.C. presented Fairfax County Public Schools with a check for $4,200. This donation is from the first ever DMV-wide McTeacher's Night Fundraising event that was held in late fall of 2012. To celebrate McDonald's longstanding history of supporting local schools, teachers, school administrators, parents and students visited their local McDonald's for dinner, where a percentage of the evening's sales went back to local education.
Fairfax County Public Schools is just one of many school districts in the Greater Washington, D.C., area that will receive a monetary donation from the event. The total amount raised through the donations from McDonald's restaurants is $45,000.

Banks have temporarily waived a variety of fees and late charges for residents of states hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. It is an effort to ease pressure on customers to make bill payments when many remain without power.
The shelving of fees came as banks moved on Wednesday to reopen thousands of branches and ATMs that had been shut down due to storm damage, power outages, or inaccessibility after the blockbuster storm.
Chase, the nation's largest bank, reopened 587 branches in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, or 55 percent of its total in the Tri-State region. More than 40 percent of its 3,200 area ATMs were not yet up and running, however.
PNC said it had reopened hundreds of branches in the Northeast, and other banks were doing the same. HSBC said it opened 101 of 189 affected branches in the New York City area, Connecticut, and New Jersey.
Customers may be inconvenienced by severe storms but generally do not need to worry about their banking information. Financial institutions tend to be well-prepared for natural disasters, said Greg McBride, senior financial analyst for Bankrate.com. Even local and regional banks often have data centers backed up in another part of the country, he said.
Here is a look at what some of the biggest banks are doing:
■ JPMorgan Chase: The country's biggest bank told customers by e-mail Tuesday that it would extend through Thursday its waiver or automatic refunds of certain fees for those living in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The bank added customers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island to the list.
Eligible fees: Those for fund transfers between accounts for overdraft protection, extended overdrafts, returned items, and insufficient funds fees for deposit accounts. Also, late fees on credit cards and on business and consumer loans, including mortgages, home-equity, auto, and student loans.
■ Bank of America: Customers affected by severe storms and floods in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Virginia, and the District of Columbia may qualify to receive a refund on any overdraft, insufficient funds, and non-Bank of America ATM fees incurred as a result of storm conditions.
Also, customers may qualify to receive credit line increases on their existing Bank of America Visa card and MasterCard; modify or extend payments on loans, credit cards or lines of credit; receive special assistance with lost, missing or late loan or card payments; and avoid early withdrawal penalties on bank certificates of deposit.
■ Citigroup: Customers in the affected areas were told via e-mail Wednesday that Citi will proactively waive fees through Tuesday on overdraft protection, insufficient funds, and late payments on credit cards and loans, and early withdrawal on certificates of deposit for recovery use.
■ Wells Fargo Customers can see a waiver of late fees on credit cards and on consumer and certain small-business loans, including home equity, auto, and student loans. Wells Fargo also said it is waiving the fee it normally charges bank customers for using another bank's ATMs in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, or the District of Columbia.

With the changing political landscape, government regulations could have a huge negative effect on the future of our hobby.
The 2010 elections are here, and at no time in recent history has Washington been so divided. Less than two years ago, then-Senator Barack Obama led a movement united by the desire for change. Voters wanted a new era of bipartisan cooperation, openness and an abandonment of "politics as usual." We are again at an election crossroads in which many voters are seeking "change." That's what this issue of the magazine is about-an opportunity to consider how actions being taken by federal and state lawmakers impact you, the auto enthusiast. The need for the enthusiast community to stay informed and become involved is greater than ever. From emissions to auto equipment standards, the government is making decisions about your current and future car.
This topic is not limited to Washington. While the federal government issues national rules dictating vehicle safety and emissions equipment, most other issues are handled at the state and local levels. From titling and registration to inspection/maintenance, your car is subject to decisions made by state and local officials.
The future of our hobby depends on you. The ballot box is one venue for making your views known. We also urge you to work collectively with your fellow enthusiasts. How? Join the SEMA Action Network (SAN). SAN is a partnership between enthusiasts, car clubs, and members of the specialty auto parts industry in the United States and Canada who have pledged to join forces in support of legislative solutions for the auto hobby. It's free to join and SAN keeps you informed about pending legislation and regulations-both good and bad-that will impact your state or the entire country. It also provides you with action alerts, speaking points, and lawmaker contact information if you want to support or oppose a bill. Join now: www.semasan.com.
In recent years, state and federal officials have attempted to implement emissions reduction programs that target older vehicles. Most scrappage programs allow "smokestack" industries to avoid reducing their own emissions by buying pollution credits generated through destroying these vehicles. These programs accelerate the normal retirement of vehicles through the purchase of older cars, which are then typically crushed into blocks of scrap metal. Hobbyists suffer from the indiscriminate destruction of older cars, trucks, and parts, which anyone undergoing a restoration project can attest. America safeguards its artistic and architectural heritage against indiscriminate destruction, and our automotive and industrial heritage deserves the same protection.
While some legislation designed to spur sales of new and used automobiles is positive, such as vouchers toward the purchase of a new or used cars or tax credits to help upgrade, repair, or maintain older vehicles, scrappage provisions are not. Scrappage programs focus on vehicle age rather than actual emissions produced. This approach is based on the erroneous assumption that all "old cars are dirty cars". However, the true culprits are "gross polluters"-vehicles of any model year that are poorly maintained. Scrappage programs ignore better options like vehicle maintenance, repair, and upgrade programs that maximize the emissions systems of existing vehicles. In the past year, scrappage initiatives have been defeated in California, North Carolina, and Washington.
Enthusiasts played a vital role in altering federal scrappage legislation in 2009 when an amendment was worked into the "Cash for Clunkers" program to spare vehicles 25 years and older from the scrappage heap and expand parts recycling opportunities. Cash for Clunkers operated through voluntary consumer participation, allowing car owners to receive a voucher to help buy a new car in exchange for scrapping a less fuel-efficient vehicle. Vehicle hobbyists eased the program's effects by convincing lawmakers to include a requirement that the trade-in vehicle be a model year 1984 or newer vehicle. This provision helped safeguard older vehicles, which are irreplaceable to hobbyists as a source of restoration parts.
Freedom is ...... waking up on the weekend and being able to work on your own car, in your own backyard.
Don't Get Zoned Out!
You come home one afternoon only to find a ticket on your project vehicle that's parked on your property. Sounds like a nightmare scenario, doesn't it? But in some areas of the country, it's all too real. State and local laws-some on the books now, others pending-can or will dictate where you can work to restore or modify your project vehicle. Believe it or not, that project car or truck you've stashed behind your house until the new crate engine arrives or the cherished collectible you've hung onto since high school to pass down to your kids could very easily be towed right out of your yard depending on the zoning laws in your area.
Why is the long arm of the law reaching into your backyard? Some zealous government officials are waging war against what they consider "eyesores". To us, of course, these are valuable on-going restoration projects. But to a non-enthusiast lawmaker, your diamond-in-the-rough looks like a junker ready for the salvage yard. If you're not careful, that's exactly where it will wind up.
Hobbyists are becoming increasingly concerned about the many states and local cities currently enforcing or attempting to legislate strict property or zoning laws, which include restrictions on visible inoperable automobile bodies and parts. Often, removal of these vehicles from private property is enforced through local nuisance laws with minimal or no notice to the owner. Jurisdictions enforce or seek to enact these laws for a variety of reasons, most particularly because they believe inoperative vehicles are eyesores that adversely affect property values or that inoperative vehicles pose a health risk associated with leaking fluids and chemicals. Many such laws are drafted broadly, allowing for the confiscation of vehicles being repaired or restored.
For the purposes of these laws, "inoperable vehicles" are most often defined as those on which the engine, wheels, or other parts have been removed, altered, damaged, or allowed to deteriorate so that the vehicle cannot be driven.
In the '09-10 legislative session, hobbyists defeated bills in Hawaii, Kansas, Nebraska, Virginia, and West Virginia that would have established unreasonable restrictions on backyard restoration projects. In response to these and other anti-hobbyist efforts, SEMA has drafted its own inoperable vehicle bill that's fair to restorers while still considerate of neighbors who don't want a junkyard operating next door. The SEMA model bill simply states that project vehicles and their parts must be maintained or stored outside of "ordinary public view".
Emissions and Smog Check Programs
Many states operate their own I/M programs in areas that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designated as a "non attainment area," meaning that the area has not attained the EPA's required air quality. The EPA checks for carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide when designating these areas and when an area does not meet the standard for any individual pollutant, or any combination of the pollutants, then it is placed on the list of non attainment areas.
To meet the EPA's emissions reduction requirements, many states are implementing more stringent emission inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs. An I/M program may be currently operating in your state, or could be soon.
Many states have incorporated the OBD testing method as part of the vehicle emissions inspection for 1996 and newer vehicles. These OBD tests replace tailpipe tests by identifying emissions problems through information stored in the vehicle's on-board computer system. Some states have even proposed only testing vehicles with the OBD test, limiting the vehicles that need to be tested to those manufactured in 1996 and later. The I/M 240 is an enhanced emissions testing program, with "240" representing the number of seconds that the tailpipe portion of the test lasts. I/M 240 tests require visual inspection of emissions control devices, an evaporative emissions test, and a transient drive-cycle exhaust emissions test, performed while the vehicle is running on rollers. Many state programs mistakenly fail vehicles in the visual test based on the presence of aftermarket engine products or force older collector vehicles to undergo some type of testing.
Policy makers must properly focus inspection procedures and not confuse legitimate aftermarket parts with emission-defeat devices and tampering violations. The hobby must also pursue proactive legislative initiatives to establish exemptions from inspections for low-mileage vehicles, classic vehicles (defined as 25 years old and older), and newer vehicles. It is useful to remind legislators that the emissions from this small portion of the vehicle fleet are negligible. This is especially true when you consider the low miles typically driven by hobby vehicles and the excellent condition in which these vehicles are maintained.
EPA Ethanol
My engine is not vegetarian-it wants gas.
There is a battle raging in Washington that may force you to put ethanol in your car, whether you want to or not. The U.S. EPA currently allows gasoline to include up to 10 percent ethanol (E-10), a fuel additive made from corn or other biomass sources. The ethanol industry wants the EPA to increase the amount to 15 percent.
Who would object? Millions of owners of high-performance engines and older cars who fear corrosion and other nasty side effects. Ethanol attracts water. In turn, the resulting condensation can corrode the fuel lines, fixtures and tank components (steel, rubber, aluminum, etc). We're talking rust, clogging, and deterioration. For modern cars, the oxygen atom in the ethanol molecule may confuse the exhaust sensor when measuring the fuel/air mixture going into the cylinders. The mixture may be too lean, producing a hot exhaust capable of damaging the catalytic converter. The end result may also be more nitrogen oxides, a building block for smog.
Many newer engines and parts have been designed to be more compatible with alcohol fuels, and E-15 will not be an issue. But E-10 has been a problem for some current and older models, and E-15 may be worse. Many in the auto industry have cautioned the EPA to do more science before it rules on the request.
Why does it matter? The fact is gasoline without ethanol may eventually become scarce or non-existent when you pull up to the pump. We also face an education curve. For many people who already ignore the "contains 10 percent ethanol" sign will not understand that 15 percent may cost them a pretty penny in repair bills.
Engine Swaps Made Easier
Hobbyists frequently ask about the rules governing engine switching in project vehicles. First of all, those engaged in engine switching activities are bound by specific state laws that may vary from state to state. Having said that, there are some general guidelines one may consider. This article will cover the rules for switching the engine in production-type vehicles (but not specially constructed vehicles, street rods, kit cars, and the like). The basic rule of engine switching (as opposed to installing a "replacement" engine) is that the change must do no harm. This means that the engine being installed must theoretically be at least as "clean" as the one taken out. Several requirements may define "clean" for the purposes of engine switching.
Model Year: The engine to be installed must be the same age or newer than the one being replaced. Crate engines can be used if they are configured to resemble an engine that was certified by the U.S. EPA and/or the California Air Resources Board (CARB). This essentially means that the required emissions parts must be present on the engine.
Certification Level: The engine to be installed must come from a vehicle certified to meet the same or more stringent emissions standards than the one replaced.
Vehicle Class: An engine from a vehicle class, such as a motor home, medium-duty truck, or marine application must not be used since these engines were certified to different types of emissions standards, using different tests.
System/Equipment: When swapping in a newer engine from a later-model vehicle, all of the relevant emissions control equipment must be transferred as well. This includes the carbon canister, the catalytic converter(s) and even parts of the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system. Some states have exceptions to this requirement, but the general rule is that as much of the donor vehicle's emissions system as possible should be transferred. The vehicle will likely run more efficiently with a full transfer of the system and shouldn't cause any undue heartache.
Of course, engine switching can be much more complex than described here, but these are good general rules to follow and should keep engine switchers out of trouble in most cases.
The U.S. EPA and many states have enforceable policies and guidelines on how to perform legal engine changes. For further information, please consult the EPA and CARB at: www.epa.gov/compliance/resources/policies/civil/caa/mobile/engswitch.pdf or www.bar.ca.gov/80_BARResources/07_AutoRepair/Engine_Change_Guidelines.html.
How Loud is Too Loud?
Imagine driving down the road and getting stopped for the modified muffler on your painstakingly restored Camaro. Now imagine sitting on the shoulder, receiving a citation from local law enforcement, while a stock Ferrari overtakes your car and drives on. This is the scene being played on state highways across the country, the result of poorly drafted or ineffective state laws and regulations. The laws on the books in these states frequently cite the manufacturer's specifications or a factory-installed muffler as the basis on which vehicle exhaust noise is measured.
On this topic, states can generally be divided into two major categories: states with noise standards and states without noise standards. Of the states with a test standard on the books, many ignore guidelines when handing out citations. Most states that have chosen to go the route of setting specifications choose to measure a vehicle's noise by decibels. States that have quantifiable noise standards on the books are shaded red in the map above. These standards often go unenforced. One reason these regulations are not enforced is that they are based on an in-use standard-exhaust noise is measured while a vehicle is in motion on the highway. The states that employ these operating standards typically divide vehicles into classes and then set separate standards: one for vehicles while driving on roads with a speed limit of 35 mph or less and a second standard for vehicles driving on roadways with a speed limit greater than 35 mph. The measurements are to be taken while the vehicle is in motion on the road, usually from a distance of 50 feet from the center lane of travel.
Other states choose not to specify a quantifiable noise standard. These states are shown in yellow in the map above. Typical language in these states' statutes includes prohibitions on "excessive or unusual noise" from a vehicle's exhaust system. While most motorists believe that exhaust systems should not be used in a way that causes overly loud or objectionable noise, these vague provisions fail to provide a clear and objective standard for those seeking more durable exhaust systems that enhance a vehicle's appearance and increase performance. Language that effectively limits the use of aftermarket exhausts can be found among both yellow and red states. Such language includes sentences such as "no person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle in any manner that will amplify or increase the noise or sound emitted louder than that emitted by the muffler originally installed on the vehicle". While such language does not specifically prohibit all modification, it doesn't provide any means of measuring whether a vehicle has been acceptably modified. Such language also negatively affects the aftermarket industry by placing the noise-limit authority in the hands of the OEMs and ignores the fact that aftermarket exhaust systems are designed to make vehicles run more efficiently without increasing emissions.
Green on the map identifies the three states that have enacted SEMA model legislation to provide enthusiasts and law enforcement officials with a fair and enforceable alternative. The model legislation establishes a 95-decibel exhaust noise limit based on an industry standard adopted by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Under this standard (SAE J1169), a sound meter is placed 20 inches from the exhaust outlet at a 45-degree angle and the engine is revved to three-quarters of maximum-rated horsepower. The highest decibel reading is then recorded.
Previous California law allowed modifications so long as the noise levels did not exceed the 95-decibel limit. However, the roadside enforcement of this limit was chaotic, leading to subjective, selective, and improper enforcement.
Enforcement of the previous law and regulations in California, for example, resulted in many drivers being pulled over by state and local police and cited for improper modified exhaust systems despite having what they believed to be legal aftermarket exhausts. To prove our point (and educate ourselves) about the widespread improper enforcement of the previous California exhaust law, SEMA conducted a series of exhaust noise tests in early April 2001. First, we contacted California SAN members to see how many folks had received citations for excessive or modified exhaust. We were surprised and dismayed to learn how many fit the category! We then invited them to have their cars tested to see if they actually complied with California law. Finally, we hired a board-certified acoustical engineer and did the testing according to the standards set out in California law. Long story short, of the cars we tested only one exceeded the 95db legal level.
To remedy this problem, in 2002 SEMA helped enact a new enforcement procedure in California through its model bill. The new law forces compliance with an objectively measured standard in a fair and predictable test. Through this procedure, motorists who drive vehicles legally equipped with modified exhaust systems can confirm that they comply with California's exhaust noise standard. The California Bureau of Automotive Repair began operation of the motor vehicle exhaust noise-testing program in 2003. The law also allows courts to dismiss citations for exhaust systems that have been tested and for which a certificate of compliance has been issued. Under the program, the 40 smog check stations statewide that provide referee functions are performing the test. These referee stations are issuing certificates of compliance for vehicles when tests of their exhaust systems demonstrate that they emit no more than 95 dB under the SAE test procedure. However, only those vehicles that have received a citation for an exhaust noise violation are permitted to submit their vehicle for the test. A similar standard was enacted in Maine in 2003 and Montana in 2007.
Regulating Hot Rod Emissions: Past, Present, and Future
Government regulations continue filtering into the hot rod community. The purpose of this article is to provide a chronology of events helpful to understanding the current regulatory landscape and then look into the future of what enthusiasts can expect.
It has been approximately 40 years since the government agency that became CARB first met with specialty aftermarket parts manufacturers. The agency had become aware that non-stock, emissions-related aftermarket parts were being installed on California vehicles and wanted to establish guidelines for their use. About a dozen specialty parts manufacturers attended the meeting that was convened by the agency setting "design limits" based on the most robust parts options available from the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM or new vehicle manufacturers). In other words, if an OEM offered any versions of "high-performance" parts as options to stock counterparts, emissions-related specialty aftermarket parts would not be allowed to exceed the design criteria of higher performance OEM components. For example, multiple carburetors, dual exhausts, camshaft specifications and similar limits to other such aftermarket parts would be the rule.
Moving into the '70s and '80s, enthusiasts began to see and experience the impact of OEM emissions controls. Federal emissions standards imposed on the OEM were mandated in shorter time periods and included the downsizing of piston displacements, reducing vehicle weight, redesigning engine packages, and making companion changes requiring years to accomplish. As a result, we entered the emissions "Band-Aid" era involving short-term modifications the OEMs could make in order to meet required standards. Air pumps, carburetors with limited adjustments, exhaust gas recirculation, catalytic converters, rear gear changes to reduce on-road engine speeds and comparable "quick fixes" were imposed on consumers and enthusiasts, the net effect being both a real and perceived reduction in prior vehicle performance.
At the enthusiast level, emissions controls were perceived as performance-reducing components. It would be another 10 years before redesigned engine packages with computer controlled EFI and higher overall combustion efficiency would restore "high performance" to the OEM community while meeting even more stringent emissions and fuel economy requirements.
Even during these years, and flying somewhat under the radar, there was the need for specialty aftermarket parts manufacturers to begin adapting to new OEM technologies. Failure to do this impacted two areas in particular. One dealt with attempts to develop products with consumer value, in the face of much more daunting engineering tasks. The other was the requirement that certain emissions standards be met, because by this time both the CARB and the EPA were aware that improperly designed emissions-related parts could take an otherwise certified vehicle out of compliance.
At this point, SEMA took a proactive role in working directly with CARB to create a method by which emissions-related specialty aftermarket parts could be brought into compliance. While the EPA had its own anti-tampering provisions contained in the federal law affecting aftermarket parts, the CARB had taken a more aggressive position in regulating these components. Working directly with CARB staff, SEMA helped establish an emissions testing program whereby emissions-critical parts could be made legal for on-road use in California. Ultimately, EPA would recognize this certification for use elsewhere in the country. At the time, as now, the so-called CARB "executive order" (EO) certification process that was created embodied test procedures required of the OEMs when certifying new vehicles. Today, SEMA continues working with both CARB and EPA to help enable its membership to achieve emissions compliance for specialty aftermarket parts, all of which has a direct impact on several segments in the performance enthusiast community.
There have also been concerns for owners of specially built or kit car enthusiasts, pertaining to various titling issues and other state-based challenges in numerous locations across the country. Particularly in California where a significant number of specially built vehicles were identified by regulators as either improperly or illegally registered (approximately five years ago), a major threat to the street rod industry appeared. Because such violations were considered a felony offense, car owners were targeted for arrests and the probability of confiscated vehicles. It has required a major effort on the part of SEMA, working in conjunction with the California Attorney's Office, CARB, Bureau of Automotive Repair, Department of Motor Vehicles, and state legislators to craft a solution to this critical issue. Five years ago there was no clear path to obtaining legal registration and emissions-compliance for these vehicles; today there is a means by which it can be done. Concurrently, SEMA has continued working with states outside California to configure laws and regulations to enable legal registration of street rods and custom cars (including kit cars and replicas). The SEMA model legislation, enacted in 20 states to date, also provides for special license plates for these vehicles. The bill defines a street rod as an altered vehicle manufactured before 1949 and a custom as an altered vehicle at least 25 years old and manufactured after 1948. The bill allows kit cars and replica vehicles to be assigned a certificate of title bearing the same model year designation that the body of the vehicle was constructed to resemble.
Most recently, there have been concerns about the regulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and how performance parts relate to so-called greenhouse gases. After a review of data gathered during emissions compliance testing of specialty aftermarket products that successfully passed these tests, the levels of CO2 that exceeded baseline emissions were quite low. In fact, although increased air/fuel charge enrichment in and of itself can somewhat increase CO2, if combustion efficiency levels associated with improved fuel economy and acceptable emissions are maintained, little or no unfavorable impact has been observed. So it would appear that performance products, when designed and used in a way that enables fuel economy equal to or better than that obtained with stock components, create a negligible effect on CO2 output.
Looking ahead, it is clear that OEM technology and ways it can be improved by enthusiasts or made compatible with specific performance objectives is a further challenge. The car companies build vehicles with technologies that must be understood and addressed, not only within regulatory requirements that include safety and emissions, but also as the platform on which the aftermarket must operate. This challenge has included increased pressure from regulatory requirements, largely dealing with emissions performance and compliance. Gone are the days when performance parts manufacturers could simply expand on the dimensions or specifications of an OEM part or system to produce more power. Aftermarket parts manufacturers are required to upgrade their own technical capabilities and be prepared to meet new challenges to integrate emissions-related parts to regulatory test methods.

With all the talk on Wall Street about why HP should be broken up, what are you doing to maintain employee morale?
You would be well served to talk to our employees. I could tell you, but the people who work with me can tell you better. I think we have created a vision that people believe in.
I would say that we've done a good job of communicating to our employees, in a very transparent way, about what the strengths are and what the challenges are. Also, what the time frame is going to be and how we're going to get all this done. But if you asked people here, I bet you'd find that eight out of 10, maybe nine out of 10, will say they feel pretty good.
Someone said to me the other day, 'I feel more excited about HP with the stock price at $17 than when it was at $40' -- as sort of ironic as that is.

there never will be on these motors, they don't fail that way unless it's abused.
At least there isn't evidence of water in the oil at the moment .
as lmdew mentioned in the first response to this post, test for exhaust gases in the coolant, since they blow by pushing exhaust gases into the coolant.
that's what happens when the exhaust gases get pushed into the coolant, it stops circulating properly, one of the radiator hoses will be cool as well.
I did notice today that when the heater isn't working only one heater hose at the firewall is hot and the other one on the other side is cold. Airlock in the heater core possibly?
that engine doesn't blow headgaskets so it was most likely overheated sometime prior in it's life. make sure the cooling system is properly working.

the more ominous possibility is headgasket. the prior leaking leads to possible overheating and as i already said before you mentioned the leak:

Probably just your heater control valve not opening completely. The extra revs give the water pump a boost and push hot water past the valve.
subarus, 90 - 04, do not have a heater control valve. heater core always has flow. the hvac controls inside the car just directs the air flow over the core when heat is needed.

If you still have a coolant leak a low coolant level will cause the same kind of problems.
When you refill the cooling system, fill the engine through the upper radiator hose first, then fill the radiator.
Posted 21 December 2012 - 06:40 PM
ALSO:The plastic coolant tank is bubbling worse than it was before. My best hope is a bad seal on the water pump as the culprit but I have a feeling it's the HG's? I'll put some of that combustion leak detector in the overflow tank and see if it change's color. I can do it that way right? 96 2.2
Posted 21 December 2012 - 09:42 PM
Probably don't need to bother at this point. Sounds to me like the head gaskets are cooked.
Posted 21 December 2012 - 10:21 PM
I'd found the source of the coolant loss he mentioned very quickly after I'd driven the car home from Ballard last summer. It was just a leaking plastic burp screw on the top passenger side of the radiator.
Ironically, that was probably helping the situation. Because it leaked there, Exhaust gasses and bubbles in coolant escaped, and no pressure built up, so coolant still circulates.
When you close the system, the pressure builds, the bubbles are trapped, and the coolant stops circulating when too big an air pocket builds up.
I've loosened that screw a hair to limp home severely blown headgasket cars. It works, until you need to fill the system again.

You DO NOT need new head bolts. Subaru head bolts are not stretch type. Don't let the parts person talk you into buying them.
You will want new intake manifold gaskets, usually exhaust manifold gaskets can be re-used. Single port exhaust gaskets are hard to come by in parts stores. They're $8-10 each at a dealer.

Random Heroes Review
Have you ever seen a movie called Attack the Block? It's a great little British movie from 2011 and the plot has a bunch of kids from a small neighborhood stumbling upon an alien invasion that's taking place where they live. They take it upon themselves to defend their community from the hungry and violent alien aggressors with whatever means they have. The kids are, essentially, random heroes. Attack the Block is the first thing that sprung to mind while Random Heroes, made by Ravenous, who brought us the superb League of Evil games. Unfortunately, Random Heroes is a game that has lots of cool bits, the sum can't equal its parts.
Just like the movie, Random Heroes features a bunch of unlikely protagonists taking up arms against an alien invasion. Nuns, hillbillies, Neo, Jason, Indiana Jones, Abraham Lincoln and a host of others all join a quest through 30 levels, divided between three worlds, to rid the world of a parade of bizarre looking alien baddies. The levels are pretty big, with lots of different paths to take and secret areas to discover. As you blast away at the increasingly rude aliens, they explode into coins which you can use to buy new characters and weapons.
Give the devil his due.
Buying characters isn't merely cosmetic either. There are three stats– health, agility, and damage– and the different characters all have different strengths and weaknesses depending on how they have these stats arranged. It can make for an interesting little bit of strategy depending on how you like to play. And it's kind of funny watching Abraham Lincoln wander around with a sub-machinegun.
However, all of the careful picking of characters and weapons can't make up for the fact that your success depends as much on luck as it does on actual skill. It's not difficult in the traditional sense, but you'll die lots of cheap deaths. The controls are stiff and sometimes unresponsive, making precise movements difficult to perform. Enemies are mind-bogglingly stupid, but lucky for them they can take a massive amount of damage.
Hold it right there, mister.
When a horde of them is mindlessly charging at you or just randomly shooting, you can only hope that they leave you with enough life left to get away. Since you can't shoot up or down, flying enemies are considerably dangerous, especially the ones with extremely erratic flight patterns, as they have a tendency to come at you while you're jumping over a pit or taking a ride over a valley of spikes. Some enemies, and even one boss, are able to shoot at you from off screen. You'll die a lot without even knowing who or what killed you. The boss battles are also disappointingly dull.
Random Heroes is an admirable attempt to make a really fun platformer. The elements are all there, but they don't gel into something that's all that much fun. The gameplay is dull, you'll die more from bad luck than a lack of skill, the controls are imprecise, and the enemies are some of the dumbest and cheapest we've ever encountered in recent memory. We really wanted to like this game more than we did. It's too bad too, because we can see how this game could be awesome. But instead of the righteous Attack the Block, we got the super cheesy Night of the Bloodbeast.

Standard Set of Network Diagram Icons? 11
Cerebus asks: "I'm taking over administrative and management functions for a network, and one of the tasks is, of course, providing accurate diagrams for the whole shebang. In playing with various tools for this (Dia, Visio, Kvivio, xfig, tgif, etc). I've noticed that each package has it's own idea about what abstract icon to use for various devices (what Visio would call "logical" icons). While there is some overlap, the meaning attached to an icon is sometimes different between applications, and what's worse is that (using the example of Visio) the same application has multiple different icons for the same type of device! Is there any kind of standard for network diagram iconography? Should there be?"

Creighton's Doug McDermott is an All-America for the second straight year while Trey Burke of Michigan and Otto Porter Jr. of Georgetown tied as the leading vote-getters for The Associated Press' first team.
Victor Oladipo of Indiana and Kelly Olynyk of Gonzaga are the other players on the team announced Monday.
Burke, the dynamic point guard, and Porter, the smooth, solid forward, both received 62 first-team votes and 319 points from the same 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25.
Oladipo, whose all-around play kept the Hoosiers in the No. 1 ranking longer than any other team this season, was third in the voting. McDermott, the efficient scorer, is the 51st repeat selection and the second in as many years following Jared Sullinger of Ohio State.
Olynyk, who became the country's best center, rounds out the first team.

For the next few weeks, I am going to tackle a number of lipstick swatches because you guys seem to like them so much.
First I am going to focus on the NYX lipsticks I own (about 30 of them I think).
Note: All swatches are subjective – this is just how it looks with my lighting and my camera and on my lips.
So hope you comment and enjoy!

* Radwanska to play Cibulkova in Sydney final
* Ferrer reaches Auckland semis
* Berdych beaten by Hewitt at Kooyong (updates with later matches)
By Nick Mulvenney
* Radwanska to play Cibulkova in Sydney final
* Ferrer reaches Auckland semis
* Berdych beaten by Hewitt at Kooyong (updates with later matches)
By Nick Mulvenney
SYDNEY, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Agnieszka Radwanska needed eight match points to finish off Li Na on Thursday but confirmed her fine pre-Australian Open form by maintaining her perfect start to the year and reaching the final of the Sydney International.
The Polish top seed was well worth the 6-3 6-4 win over her Chinese opponent and will face Dominika Cibulkova in Friday's final after the Slovakian stunned German second seed Angelique Kerber 6-2 4-6 6-3.
"I think I was really playing good tennis the last couple of days," said Radwanska, who also won the Auckland Classic last week and has started the year with eight straight wins. "I hope I can continue playing at this level."
David Ferrer has played six fewer matches than Radwanska this year but really hit his stride on Thursday when he swept aside Lukas Lacko 6-2 6-1 to remain on course for a fourth title at the Auckland Open.
The Spaniard, who like Radwanska will be seeded fourth at Melbourne Park next week, needed just 54 minutes to beat his Slovak opponent and set up a semi-final against France's Gael Monfils, who later beat Tommy Haas 3-6 7-5 6-3.
The fifth seed in the men's draw for the year's first grand slam, Tomas Berdych, had a less enjoyable day down at Kooyong where he was humbled 6-3 6-2 by Australia's resurgent former world number one Lleyton Hewitt.
Hewitt, now 31 and ranked 82nd in the world, beat Milos Raonic in his first round robin match on Wednesday and his 88-minute victory over Czech Berdych puts him into the final of the exhibition event.
There he will meet either Argentina's world number seven Juan Martin Del Potro or Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis, who face off at the Kooyong Classic on Friday.
"I'm just thrilled to be able to perform like this against quality players and on back-to-back days," Hewitt told reporters.
"I've had five tough sets in two days and that will hold me in good stead for next week."
Although Radwanska has had a busy schedule, Li was clearly tired after playing nine times in 10 days as well as flying from China to Australia after winning last week's Shenzhen Open.
The Pole broke on Li's first service game and rarely looked back before stuttering to close out the match as she had in beating Yanina Wickmayer in Auckland last week.
"It was kind of like a deja vu from Auckland final," she said. "I'm really ready for the Australian Open. I will do of course everything to win that match tomorrow as well, and we'll see. I hope to win 16 matches in a row."
Cibulkova added world number five Kerber to her list of top 10 victims in Sydney this week having already beaten Petra Kvitova and Sara Errani.
Like Hewitt, Australian young gun Bernard Tomic proved he was a player to be avoided in Friday's draw for the Australian Open with a quarter-final victory.
The 20-year-old came from a set down to beat defending champion Jarkko Nieminen 6-7 6-4 6-2 and extend his winning streak to five matches this year, including his stunning victory over Novak Djokovic in Perth last week.
"I'm really confident now, and I got a shot to get into the final for the first time in my career," said Tomic, who will play Andreas Seppi in the semi-finals after the Italian third seed beat Marcel Granollers 6-4 7-5.
Frenchman Julien Benneteau earlier cruised past American qualifier Ryan Harrison 6-4 6-2 and will play Kevin Anderson for a place in the final after the South African had an equally emphatic 6-4 6-3 win over Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan.
Men's top seed John Isner, who lost to Harrison on Wednesday, pulled out of the Australian Open on Thursday because of a knee injury, leaving Sam Querrey as the only American men's seed at Melbourne Park.
Querrey overcame Canada's Jesse Levine 6-4 7-6 in Auckland and will face Philipp Kohlschreiber in the semi-finals after the German beat Xavier Malisse 7-6 6-4. (Editing by Justin Palmer)

Total Ballots Cast are figures published by most election agencies that show the total number of people having cast ballots. Typically, a number of these ballots for any given contest (e.g. President) are invalid – either the voter decided not to choose a candidate for President (called a "blank" or "under-vote") or the voter selected multiple candidates (called a "void" or "over-vote").
Figures for Total Ballots Cast in the 2004 and 2000 general elections for President have been added to the database at the state, county, township, and precinct levels for all states in which this data is available. These data may be accessed by using the customize form at the bottom of any detailed data table (Atlas Membership required for county, township, and precinct-level). In addition, there are options to display the total number of invalid ballots and percent invalid for each in the table. For an example, take a look at the 2004 state-level data table with the new data included. Data for previous years are also in process of being added to the database.

Phillip Thompson has announced his plans to seek election to Seat 5 on the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees.
Sumter attorney Wade Kolb is seeking election to the S.C. Senate as a Republican candidate for District 35. Kolb will be looking to replace Democrat Phil Leventis, who is retiring after serving in the Senate for the past 32 years. District 35 is anchored in Sumter County and encompasses parts of Lugoff and Elgin as well as precincts in Lee and Richland counties.
"Are you crazy? Why are you running? Why do you want to get involved in politics now?" are the questions Kershaw County School Board Seat 9 candidate Celia Boland said she has been asked.
The Kershaw County Election Commission on Monday overturned its decision last week barring some candidates from the ballots.
Local election officials determined Thursday that the recent S.C. Supreme Court ruling on candidates does not apply to candidates for the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees because their election is non-partisan.
A story Wednesday titled "Court ruling could leave candidates off ballots" should have indicated House District 52 candidate Kim Demer was ruled ineligible to be on the ballot. Kershaw County Republican Party Chairman Chris Oviatt said Demer did not file her statement of economic interest by the deadline set by the Election Commission. House District 52 candidate David Herndon has been ruled eligible to remain on the ballot.
Several candidates in Kershaw County may be left off the June 12 primary ballot after failing to file their candidacy and economic interest statements on time. The S.C. Supreme Court recently ruled that about 180 candidates across the state are ineligible for the primary election.
Mayor Jeffrey R. Graham, first elected to the city's top leadership post in 2008, has announced his intent to seek a second term as Camden's mayor.
The deadline to register to vote in June's party primaries is May 12, according to officials with the S.C. Election Commission.
Former North Central High School (NCHS) coach Ron Blackmon is seeking election to Seat 9 of the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees.
The successes, failures and upcoming priorities of the nation, state and county topped the discussion list Monday at the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce's annual Legislative Forum.
Sumter businessman Eddie Drayton is seeking election to the S.C. Senate, running in the Republican primary for District 35.
After reading this year's Kershaw County Board of School Trustees candidate election announcements, Doug Berry of Camden said he realized that most of the candidates want the same thing: to use taxpayer money as efficiently as possible; to supply teachers with the equipment they need to do their job proficiently; a school system that prepares children to become professionals, have a positive impact on society and become the leaders for tomorrow, among other things.
Camden City Councilwoman Alfred Mae Drakeford announced recently she is seeking re-election for a third term.
Known for his bipartisan approach to government reform and economic development, S.C. Sen. Vincent Sheheen has announced his bid for re-election to Senate District 27, including areas in Kershaw, Chesterfield and Lancaster counties.

WILLIAMS GROVE OUTLAWS –Friday Show Rained Out
WILLIAMS GROVE OUTLAWS – Saturday
North Dakota's Donny Schatz became the third and final leader of the World of Outlaws Summer Nationals for sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway on Saturday night, taking home a total of $15,000 for an exciting victory including laurels as the 2013 Morgan Cup Champion. The win was the second in a row this season for Schatz at the track after also taking a victory at the oval in May.It was a Pennsylvania Posse frenzy for most of the event as polesitter Lance Dewease took the lead over Schatz at the start. The entire 30-lap event went non-stop with heavy and competitive lapped traffic coming into play in the event.
It was in the midst of hectic traffic on the 12th tour that Dewease was first passed for control by second starter Schatz however the Fayetteville flyer was able to muscle back into the lead before the tour could be completed.
Fourth starter Greg Hodnett drove into third on the third lap and when Dewease and Schatz spent time battling for the lead Hodnett put himself directly in the middle of the battle and took second from Schatz at the halfway mark.
And on the next circuit, he motored by Dewease for the lead and tried to begin stretching out an advantage. Schatz had other ideas however and after finally getting by Dewease for second with eight laps to go, he set his sights on leader Hodnett.
It took him five laps to erase the margin that Hodnett had built up and on the 26th tour, Hodnett thwarted a Schatz attack in the first corner when he motored the low line through the corners.
But on the next lap he drove in high and that proved to be his undoing as Schatz drove handily underneath and up off of the bottom in the second turn to take final command.
He crossed the finish line .849 seconds ahead of Hodnett for his 18th carrer victory at Williams Grove.
At one point when Greg got the lead I thought the sting of going from $20,000 to $10,000 (because the Friday show was rained out and the purse turned into a one-day structure) wasnt going to be as bad, Schatz said.
"I didnt think we could win it."Dewease finished in third. Fred Rahmer rode home fourth followed by Craig Dollansky.
Sixth through 10th went to Jason Sides, Danny Dietrich, Brent Marks, Logan Schuchart and Chad Kemenah.
Fast time for the 44-car field was set by Schatz with a lap of 17.927 seconds.
Heats went to Schuchart, Tony Stewart, Kemenah and Marks.
Dewease took the dash while Jacob Allen won the C Main and TJ Stutts took the B Main.

Lincoln and Port Royal Speedways did not race this weekend due to the World of Outlaws race at Williams Grove
Its good that Doug Manmiller dosent attend Tilden Elementary School because if he did, Principle Dr Shawn Fitzpatrick would have him in detention for the entire school year after he made a last lap pass to beat Fitzpatrick in Friday nights Modified feature race at Big Diamond Speedway
A packed house witnessed the victory as track owners Jake and Jasmine Smulley presented FANdemonium, which offered free grandstand admission to everyone in attendance. There were tons of giveaways to the fans, almost two dozen cars on display, and many other activities that kept the large crowd buzzing all night long.
With five to go, Manmiller disposed of second place running Kevin Albert and set his sights on leader Fitzpatrick. Lap after lap, Manmiller continued to
gain ground on Fitzpatrick, and with one two go he was right on his tail.
Fitzpatrick went into turn one a little too hot and hopped the cushion, leaving
just enough room for Manmiller to squeeze by and go on to win by a little over a
car length. The win was the tenth of Manmiller's career at Big Diamond, moving
him into a tie with Dave Schoffstall on the all time win list. A disappointed
Fitzpatrick finished a season best second, followed by point leader Craig Von
Dohren, Jeff Strunk, and Albert. Frank Cozze, Meme Desantis, Andy Burkhart, Tim
Buckwalter, and Rick Laubach, making his first start of the year in the Eastern
Rigging #11 car, rounded out the top ten. Heat races were won by Albert Jr,
Fitzpatrick, and Kevin Smith.
Driving with a heavy heart, Jared Umbenhauer of Richland drove Robert Derfler's
No. 16D to victory in the 20-lap sportsman main event. Umbenhauer lost his
grandfather earlier in the the week.
Marc Berzowski scored his seventh win of the season in the Roadrunner division, followed closely by Jeremy Becker. Shon Elk was third, followed by Kyle Killian, and Tim Fitzpatrick Jr. Heat races were won by TJ Fitzpatrick and Glenn Rowan.
For the first time since July, 2008 past champion Terry Meitzler was able to wheel the Dennis Bailey owned Berks Products No. 81 to victory in the 30-lap Hatfield Quality Meats NASCAR 358 Modified feature race at Grandview Speedway. Craig Whitmoyer grabbed his first win of the season in the 25-lap Sportsman feature race while Danny Snyder and Sam Schlosberger each won their second Late Model features of the season.
In the 30-lap Modified feature Terry Meitzler grabbed the lead late in the race after fan pleasing battle with Don Norris Jr. Once in front Meitzler set the pace for the final laps to pick up the $2750 win. Second went to Don Norris Jr. followed by Doug Manmiller, Craig VonDohren and Jeff Strunk.
The Sportsman feature had Craig Whitmoyer leading Ron Krex to the checkered flag followed by Kenny Gilmore, Tom Miller and Jared Umbenhauer.
A crash marred 25-lap feature for the Late Models saw Danny Snyder get the lead late in the race when Mike Kellner spun while leading in the second turn. Once in front Snyder held off Steve Nederostek to get the win. Third spot went to Rick Todorow followed Kory Fleming and Bill Henning.
In the second 25-lap main event for Late Models, an event that was rained out the previous week, the win was taken by Sam Schlosberg who led every lap. Second went to Sean Merkel followed by Mike Kellner, Rick Todorow and Jason Miller.
Brock Zearfoss of Jonestown made the ultimate comeback from an early-season racing injury when he won his first career 358 sprint car feature Saturday night at Selinsgrove Speedway in the division's 25-lap main event. Zearfoss, driving the Mach 1 Chassis No. 1W, collected $2,000 for the victory and became the eighth different winner in 358-360 sprint car competition at the track this year.
Teenager Hayes Mattern of Beavertown wired the field for his first career late model win worth $2,000 in the division's 25-lap feature. Mattern, a rookie this year, became the seventh different late model winner this year.
Brad Mitch of McClure made a late-race pass by Nathan Long of Selinsgrove to score his third win of the year in the 15-lap pro stock feature.
Brian Johnson of Ashland won his fourth race of the season in the 12-lap roadrunner feature. Johnson is now tied with Bob Bussey of Northumberland and John Fowler Jr. of Montandon for the most wins in the division this season.

PKS 0637-752 in Context
Quasars look starlike when viewed through an optical telescope. It wasn't until the 1950's when radio astronomy was first developed, that astronomers realized that they were emitting enormous amounts of radio energy. These objects were named quasars, short for quasi-stellar radio sources. The source of the prodigious energy output of quasars is believed to be a supermassive black hole in the center of a galaxy.
Cosmic jets are a common feature of quasars and active galaxies. They are believed to be produced by enormous electromagnetic forces near the central black hole. One of the most intriguing features of supermassive black holes is that they do not suck up all matter that fall within their sphere of influence. Most of the matter falls inexorably toward the black hole, but some explodes away from the black hole in high-energy jets that move near the speed of light.
Chandra cannot image details this fine, but it may allow astronomers to probe closer to the central black hole because the X-rays from the central source may be produced much closer to the black hole. Understanding how jets are produced and maintained will require a detailed knowledge from both radio and X-ray observations.

For this edition of Memorable Motorcycles Frank Melling presents the 450 Ducati Scrambler - a bike ahead of its time but full of quirks.
If ever a bike needed to be put into context it is the Ducati 450 scrambler – and the key to understanding this rather lovely motorcycle is to appreciate just how big motocross was in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Today, if you ask a MotoGP fan who the current World Motocross Champion is, you would be lucky to get any answer – let alone an accurate one.
Not so 40 years ago. Road riders and circuit racing fans were heavily involved in the motocross scene and knew the factories and bikes as well as they could recite the exploits of legendary road racers like Mike Hailwood and Giacomo Agostini....more here: http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/289/12775/Motorcycle-Article/Memorable-Motorcycle--Ducati-450-Scrambler.aspx

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
A neat new administration and configuration management tool for the
SQL Server set. I especially like the Run Book features, because Run Books are the way us "oldtimers" like to run our IT infrastructure. My pal, Buck Woody, also likes Run Books (and really big explosions by the guys on MythBusters, but that's another discussion). Find all the details about the new tool, created by Bill Wunder, here.
In addition, I'm honored and amazed that the team at RunAsRadio invited
me to participate in interview #143. These are the same guys who also
put together one of the best and longest running IT podcasting shows - .NETRocks. Unlike a lot of interviews, it seems like we had too little time to cover all the topics. I'd love to hear your feedback!

Claiming that President Obama "believes he has the power to make his own laws," House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) is preparing a lawsuit against the president. Is the proposed lawsuit a reaction to an aggressive use of executive power or a political stunt likely to be tossed out of court? Actually, it's both.
Obama at times has pushed the limits of his authority, including on the issue that is the subject of the proposed lawsuit: his unilateral decision to postpone, twice, the Affordable Care Act's requirement that larger employers provide coverage for their workers. This page was troubled by that decision, though we acknowledged that unreasoning Republican resistance made it impossible for Obama to gain congressional cooperation in improving the law.
But even if one believes Obama overstepped his authority, a lawsuit by the House is a legal long shot. As Walter Dellinger, a former acting solicitor general in the Clinton administration, told the House Rules Committee last week, citizens can seek redress in the courts for "personal, particularized" and "concrete" injuries they've suffered as a result of government action. But the courts do not exist for the purpose of "intruding into disputes between the elected branches of government" on how laws should be interpreted or implemented.
The courts haven't completely barred Congress from opposing the president in court. Citing special circumstances, the Supreme Court allowed lawyers for the House to argue for the constitutionality of a provision of the Defense of Marriage Act that the Obama administration had declined to defend. But that case involved a suit by a private individual against the United States, not a lawsuit brought by one branch against another.
If Congress is aggrieved by what it sees as overreaching by the president, it has other options spelled out by Justice Antonin Scalia in his dissenting opinion in the DOMA case, including the elimination of funding.
Finally, if Republicans really believe that Obama has persistently violated his constitutional obligation to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed," they can initiate impeachment proceedings. We hasten to add that we don't think Obama has committed impeachable offenses — but neither, apparently, does Boehner, despite his apocalyptic rhetoric. Indeed, one theory is that he devised this lawsuit as a way to dampen enthusiasm for impeachment among the hotter heads in his caucus, lest they alienate swing voters in the upcoming midterm election.
That explanation only underlines the political nature of the proposed action. Its slim prospects of success aside , this nuisance suit vindicates the House Republicans' reputation for hyperbole and hyperpartisanship. It's a losing proposition in more ways than one.

The FBI offered up more evidence today about the Washington Navy Yard shooting last week in which 12 people were killed, along with the shooter. They released surveillance videotape of the gunman, Aaron Alexis, inside the building. They also confirmed that Alexis acted alone and that he was delusional. NPR's Tom Bowman has more.
TOM BOWMAN, BYLINE: Aaron Alexis was a government contractor with a secret security clearance who used his pass to enter the Navy Yard on the morning of September 16th. The U.S. surveillance camera footage released by the FBI shows Alexis calmly moving down a stairwell and long hallways with a sawed off shotgun.
VALERIE PARLAVE: Etched into the barrel of the shotgun were the words, quote, "End To The Torment" closed quote. Etched into the right side of the shotgun receiver where the words, quote, "Not What Ya'll Say."
BOWMAN: That's FBI assistant director, Valerie Parlave. She told a news conference that there were multiple indicators that Alexis was delusional. Shortly before the massacre, Alexis wrote this electronic message.
PARLAVE: "Ultra low frequency attack is what I've been subject to for the last three months. And to be perfectly honest, that is what has driven me to this," close quote.
BOWMAN: Meanwhile, Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter says the Pentagon will review how Alexis' behavior and brushes with the law were missed, allowing him to receive and retain a secret clearance. Security investigators missed the fact that he shot out someone's tires with a handgun in 2004.
ASHTON CARTER: Oh, that jumped out at me, evidence that there was behavior well before the Washington Navy Yard incident.
BOWMAN: Carter said the Pentagon will also review whether the military should handle security clearances in-house and not rely on private contractors to do the background checks. Tom Bowman, NPR News, Washington. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

LANSING - 2 men are shot during a fight outside a Lansing club. Police were called to the 3200 block of South Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at about 11:30PM Monday. Witnesses said a large gathering had taken place in the parking lot outside the Blackened Moon concert Hall. They tell police a verbal argument in the lot became physical, and then several shots were fired. The crowd scattered.
Witnesses described a car that may be involved. Police soon located that car nearby, where they discovered a 34-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his arm. He was taken to the hospital with a non life threatening injury. While at the hospital, police were informed that another man, a 23-year-old, had been shot in the leg. Both gunshot victims said they were at the parking lot, but say they were not involved and do not know why they were shot.
Police continue to investigate, interviewing more witnesses, and will take further statements from both victims.
The owner of the Blackened Moon, Chas Schoals, says that his business was not even open Monday night, and does not know why people would be in his parking lot.

The 36th annual awards were presented by the Chicago Headline Club at the Union League Club in Chicago.
Daily Herald staff writers Josh Stockinger, Robert Sanchez, Jessica Cilella, Christopher Placek, Marie Wilson and Justin Kmitch were honored in the deadline reporting category for their coverage of the October 2012 stabbing deaths of 7-year-old Justin Plackowski and 5-year-old Olivia Dworakowski in Naperville.
Wilson and staff writers John Leusch, John Radtke, Tara Garcia Mathewson and Patricia Babcock were honored in the education reporting category for "Title IX: Four decades of fighting for equality," a series that examined the wide-ranging effects of Title IX in academics and athletics.
Graphic artist Tim Broderick won the award in the graphics category for "Title IX: Local schools work to bridge achievement gap."

Farah Stockman's column ("Food aid fattens up lobbyists," Op-ed, Dec. 11) is woefully misguided. America's food aid programs are cost-effective and reliable, spreading democracy, protecting American security interests, helping farmers, and feeding the hungry. Thanks to cargo preference laws and the Food for Peace program, the US Merchant Marine has delivered aid to more than 3 billion people in 150 countries.
Eliminating cargo preference would kill the jobs of US merchant mariners who support our troops in wartime, since the same mariners who transport food assistance also delivered more than 90 percent of defense cargo to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Outsourcing control over food aid funding through local purchase opens up the program to potential waste and abuse. In fact, according to the Government Accountability Project, Sri Lanka's system that Stockman points to as a success for local purchase remains riddled with corruption.
There's also evidence that local purchase isn't necessarily cheaper than the current system.
The Food for Peace program is one of the most effective federal programs. When so much in government is broken, why fix something that isn't?
The US Merchant Marine is proud of the work we've done to end global hunger, and we will fight to continue that work.

Economic Valuation (EV) is a practical tool that can be used within a business approach to ecosystem management. It can be applied in a multitude of different ways but is commonly used to assess potential benefits and costs, and to identify potential stakeholders and threats. At the end of July 2007, IUCN offered participants at the GEF Fourth Biennial International Waters Conference the chance to attend a workshop to learn more about this tool applied in the context of Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs).

ABAC Golfers Begin Fall Campaign Today
TIFTON—With five veteran players and three new recruits, the golf team at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College tees off its fall season today with high hopes for the year ahead.
ABAC Coach Herb Hendrix begins his eighth year with the Stallions in Cullman, Ala., in the Wallace State Invitational.
"I believe we'll be better than last year," Hendrix said. "Last year's team was four strokes off going to the nationals."
Freshman Robbie Johnson from Canada was a bright spot for last season's squad when he qualified to play in the national tournament in Lubbock, Tex., as an individual.
Johnson returns to this year's version of the Stallions along with Lee Wright from Moultrie, Clay Degler from LaGrange, Guillermo Retana from Spain, and Chris Rogers from Dawson. Rogers will serve as captain of the team.
Newcomers include Robert Doolan from Tift County High School, John Raymond Moore from Lakeland, Ga., and Andrew Penn from Lakeland, Fla.
"Andrew is from the same high school as Case Gard, who was a great player for us and is now playing professionally," Hendrix said. "He comes to us with wonderful credentials."
ABAC won the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region XVII golf title in 2012 when the Stallions were competing in Division II and finished second to Darton in 2013 when ABAC moved up to NJCAA Division I.
The Stallions finished ninth in the district qualifying tournament in the spring. Only the top eight teams advance to the national event. Central Alabama won the district and captured the national championship as well.
Besides practicing at ABAC's very own nine-hole Forest Lakes Golf Club, the Stallions will also be able to sharpen their skills this season at the 18-hole Golf Club of South Georgia in Chula.
"Chip Rainey owns that course, and he offered us the opportunity to come and play there," Hendrix said. "We are delighted with the arrangement, and we'll host our invitational tournament there."
Hendrix expects Darton, Andrew, Georgia Military College, Meridian (Miss.), and Central Alabama to compete in the ABAC Invitational on Oct. 12-13.
ABAC has also recruited former Tift County High School star and Valdosta State University All-America selection Chesley Gunn as the assistant coach for the Stallions. Gunn is the head golf professional at the Golf Club of South Georgia.
"I am really excited for the opportunity to share my knowledge of the game and my experience I have gained from tournament play on the college and professional level," Gunn, a 2006 TCHS graduate, said. "I enjoy teaching the game of golf, and I'm looking for these guys to really improve as the year goes on."
After a standout career with the Blue Devils, Gunn was a two-time All-Region XVII selection for Darton. He was a freshman when the Cavaliers won the national championship in 2007.
At Valdosta State, the Blazers finished in the top 10 in America when Gunn was a junior and in the top 15 in the country when he attained All-America honors as a senior.
The Stallions will also play in tournaments this fall at Darton and Central Alabama. ABAC begins its spring season in February in preparation for the NJCAA Region XVII tournament on April 3-5 in Albany.

July 30, 1927 - December 30, 2013
Grahamsville, NY
John Anthony Misko of Grahamsville, New York, passed away on Monday, December 30, 2013 at Roscoe Regional Rehab and Residential RCF. He was 86.
John was the son of the late John P. Misko and Olga Howanitz and born on July 30, 1927 in Eynon, PA. He was raised in the coalmining area of northeast Pennsylvania and, like his brother before him, proudly served our country in the United States Navy during 1945-1946 as a Seaman Second Class. After an honorable discharge he moved to New York where he eventually became the Supervisor of Maintenance at the Concord Hotel, a position he held for almost 40 years until his retirement. John was an active member of the VFW Bernstein Post for many years. At home, he took great pride and joy in maintaining the house and perfecting his lawn. He loved to ride his lawn mower and was always ready to spring into action after the rains had come. Like his father, John was an incredible handyman and carpenter. He fixed just about anything that needed fixing and was always happy to help friends who didn't have the same skills. In his spare time he enjoyed camping, fishing, keeping his tools organized, and barbecuing on the grill. Most importantly, he enjoyed spending time with his family. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend who will be deeply missed.
He is survived by his loving wife, Thelma Misko at home; his children, Elaine Kaiser and husband, William, David Misko and wife, Marina Peake, and James Misko and wife, Jennifer, Barbara Maschio, Robert Botsford and his companion, Sara Kelz, Betty Botsford, Bonnie Preston and her husband, Stephen, and Michael Botsford and his wife, Lisa. His grandchildren include Dawn Thompson, Adam Zingalis, Dorothea Kaiser, Samantha Kaiser, Jacob Misko, Nicholas Misko, Cierra Jones-Pugh, John Michael Botsford, Brittany Benton and Amie and Robyn Morganbesser. His great-grandchildren include Trinity and Maddox Thompson, Natalia Zingalis, and Easton Pugh. He is also survived by his sisters, Violet Shumski and AnnMarie Mahalik and her husband, Robert. He was predeceased by his first wife, Jane Misko, and one brother, Vincent Misko.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Roscoe Regional Rehab and Residential RCF doctors and staff for their care, compassion and dedication throughout John's stay. Donations in John's name may be made to Roscoe Regional Rehab and Residential Counsel, 420 Rockland Road Roscoe, NY 12776.
Visitation will be on Friday, January 3, 2014 at Colonial Memorial Funeral Home, 396 State Route 52, Woodbourne, NY 12788 from 3 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, January 4, 2014 at 9:30 a.m. at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, 6317 New York 42, Woodbourne, NY 12788, with full military honors.
