Obama says Honduran ouster was 'not legal'
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Monday declared that the United States still considers Manuel Zelaya to be the president of Honduras and assailed the coup that forced him into exile as "not legal," deepening the chasm between the Central American nation and …….. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090629/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_us_honduras
Want to know the "rest of the story"?
Why does Obama state the "Coup", if it was a "Coup" wasn't legal.
The term "Coup" has a specific legal meaning. It refers to "a sudden, decisive exercise of power whereby the existing government is subverted without the consent of the people". When a Country's legally and Democratically elected Government "removes" an individual, using the appropriate mechanisms outlined under it's Constitution, it is not a "Coup", but a legally authorized act of State.
What happend in Honduras was not a Coup, but a preservation of the Democracy outlined in the Honduran Constitution.
Honduras has a Constitution which was last updated and ratified in 1982. "President Zelaya was elected in 2006 to a four-year term. The 1982 constitution bans re-election." http://beltwayblips.dailyradar.com/story/coup_in_honduras/ Presdient Manual Zelaya was attempting to subvert the the Honduran Constitution and stand for re-election, when that is prohibited under Honduran law. Procedures exist in Honduras for "changing" or "amending" the Constitution, however, President Zelaya was attempting to subvert that legal and Constitutional process in Honduras. Zelaya's attempt to change the Honduran Constitution was declared "illegal" and "unconstitutional" by both the Honduran Supreme Court and the Honduran Congress. Two of the three branches of Honduras' Democratically elected Government. Those Branches of Governemnt moved against President Zelaya and removed him from power, not the Military. The Military was simply the tool employed by the People's Government to secure their freedom.
President Zelaya ordered the Military to illegally help him subvert the Honduran Constitution, the very Constitution that the Military is sworn to uphold. In Honduras, like in the United States, the Military and Polticians take an oath to "uphold" or "protect and defend" the Constitution, not an oath to support any particular party or politician. Not since the days of Adolph Hitler has a military sworn allegiance to a "leader" or "Furher" rather than to the Country they serve.
When President Zelaya ordered the Military to assist in his violation of the Honduran Constitution, the Miliitary, at the direction of the Congress and the Supreme Court, removed the President from office rather than follow the President's illegal orders. http://beltwayblips.dailyradar.com/story/coup_in_honduras/
Two days before President Zelaya was "deposed", Zelaya "fired" the Honduran Military Chief of Staff, General Romeo Vasquez. The dismissal came, not for failing to follow orders, but for failing to support President Zelaya's unconstitutional attempt to extend his term in office. http://beltwayblips.dailyradar.com/story/coup_in_honduras/ The heads of the Honduran Army, Navy and Air Force then resigned rather than accept Zelaya's illegal orders.
You might like to know who President Zelaya's biggest supporters have been in the past …. Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan dictator who jails and kills opposition candidates in his Country, and Fidel Castro, the dictator of Cuba. What Chavez and Castro know about "fair elections" wouldn't fill a thimble. Chavez and Castro head two of the most repressive governments in the world.
Reports from Honduras state, " The country now has another president appointed by its Congress, Roberto Micheletti, who insisted that Zelaya was legally removed by the Courts and Congress for violating Honduras' constitution and attempting to extend his own rule." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090629/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_us_honduras
The Zelaya ouster came hours before polls were to open on a constitutional referendum that Zelaya was pushing ahead even after the Supreme Court and the Attorney General said it was illegal. The constitution bars changes to some of its clauses, such as the ban on a president serving more than one term. http://www.startribune.com/world/49380887.html?elr=KArks:DCiUBcy7hUiacyKUnciaec8O7EyUr
Congress voted to accept what it said was Zelaya's letter of resignation, with even Zelaya's former allies turning against him. Congressional leader Roberto Micheletti was sworn in to serve until Jan. 27 when Zelaya's term ends. Micheletti belongs to Zelaya's Liberal Party, but opposed the president in the referendum. "My slogan will be the reconciliation of the grand family of Hondurans … and a grand national dialogue," Micheletti said after Congress gave the military a long standing ovation. http://www.startribune.com/world/49380887.html?elr=KArks:DCiUBcy7hUiacyKUnciaec8O7EyUr
Funny that President Obama neglects to mention that the Honduran Supreme Court and the Honduran Attorney General "ruled" that the former President's actions were unconstitutional and illegal. Nor did Obama mention the fact that the new President is the former President's "Party Deputy" and was the top ranking member of the former President's Party in Congress. "Deposed" is not the proper term here, we should be referring to President Zelaya's impeachment – because with the approval of the Honduran Congress and the Honduran Supreme Court, that is what happened, Zelaya was impeached not deposed.
What happened in Honduras was not a "military takeover". The Honduran Military is not now in charge. The Honduran Congress and Supreme Court used the Military to prevent a power grab by former President Zeleya. The Honduran Congress, following Honduran Law, has legally appointed a successor to fill the remainder of the former President's term. The process that was followed is not all that different than the process that would be followed here in the United States. The Honduran Government, with the exception of Zeleya, remains intact. This was not a "Coup" as the Government did not replace itself, it simply removed an individual who insisted on following a course of unconstitutional and illegal conduct.
International Press reports of the previous week include the following information, "A resolution read on the floor of [Honduran] Congress accuses Zelaya of "manifest irregular conduct" and "putting in present danger the state of law," for his refusal to obey a Supreme Court ruling against a constitutional referendum he wanted to hold. Zelaya, a close ally of the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, was seeking to remove the limits on presidential terms through a referendum, paving the way for his re-election. Later in the day Congress approved the removal of Zelaya, and cited constitutional articles that said the head of congress assumes the presidency in such cases. Honduran congressional leader, Roberto Micheletti, has been designated to replace the ousted president Jose Manuel Zelaya. http://www.presstv.ir/classic/detail.aspx?id=99290§ionid=351020706
Zelaya refused to step down. His removal was initiated by the Honduran Congress and the Honduran Supreme Court, not the Military.
This situation would be analogous to an American President attempting to serve a 3rd term over the objections of Congress, the Supreme Court and in direct violation of the American Constitution. I have to assume an American President attempting to do such a thing would be impeached and jailed, and that if necessary, the U.S. Military would be used by the Congress and the Supreme Court to "protect and defend" the Constitution.
Why this strange and undemocratic move by Obama. An outright attempt, , by an American President, to prop up an individual who was attempting to subvert his country's Constitution and violate the very Honduran Election Law he was sworn to uphold.
Why is it that Obama is embracing Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, rather than the democratically elected Government of Honduras. The Honduran Government, in the persons of the Honduran Congress and the Honduran Supreme Court, who were democratically elected … those "equal branches of Government" were not attempting to subvert the Honduran Constitution, but were excersing the appropriate "separation of powers", protecting the people of Honduras from Zelaya's unlawful attempt to subvert the laws and extend his power.
The shocking thing to me is that Obama has sided with the dictators, Chavez and Castro, again. Chavez and Castro are both megalomanics, they have delusions of omnipotence. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/megalomania . That is why both Castro and Chavez have pursued "life terms" as the Presidents of their respective dictatorships, the same thing that Zelaya was attempting to do in Honduras. Imagine someone really believing that there is no one else qualified to lead the people in their Country, no one else, but themselves. In the entire Country, no one. That is scary. No wonder the Honduran People impeached Zelaya. No wonder the number 2 man in his own Party replaced him with the support of the Honduran Congress.
But what about Obama? Why does he relate to these meglomaniacs who believe they are omnipotent? Why does he side with the "repressors" rather than those who stand for freedom.
The former Honduran President reminds me of his allies, Chavez and Castro …. the rules only apply to others. The Honduran Constitution only says what he wants it to say. There is no need for a "separation of powers" …. he wants all the power to himself. We have a very dangerous man in the White House if he agrees with Chavez and Castro rather than with the rule of law or the separation of powers that occurs when you have three "equal branches" of Government.
If Obama can't distinguish which of the parties in Honduras acted legally and who did not … he doesn't deserve to hold his office. One man acting to subvert his Country's Constitution against his Country's Congress, Courts and Military, is not "in the right" and once removed from office, is no longer the "democratically elected President".
What is next for Obama? Will he join Chavez in his threat of a military invasion of Honduras? Will he put our Military on alert? Why is Obama siding with Castro and Chavez against the people of Honduras? http://article.wn.com/view/2009/06/29/Chavez_threatens_to_invade_as_Honduran_army_stages_coup/
Contrary to the press reports, Honduras has not been "condemned" for its action, in fact those who have spoken out against Honduras are limited in number – Obama, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and the Communist Leader of Nicaragua – Daniel Ortega.
America's Eurpopean Allies have not spoken out against the Honduran Government – in fact the BBC reports the following:
Interim President Roberto Micheletti has imposed an overnight curfew in Honduras, hours after being sworn in.
The Congress speaker took office after troops ousted elected leader Manuel Zelaya and flew him to Costa Rica.
The removal of Mr Zelaya came amid a power struggle over his plans for constitutional change.
Mr Zelaya, who had been in office since 2006, wanted to hold a referendum that could have led to an extension of his non-renewable four-year term.
Polls for the referendum had been due to open early on Sunday – but troops instead took him from the presidential palace and flew him out of the country.
The ousting of Manuel Zelaya has been criticised by regional neighbours and the US.
Days of tension
The swearing in of Roberto Micheletti – constitutionally second in line for the presidency – was greeted with applause in Congress.
In a speech, he said that he had not assumed power "under the ignominy of a coup d'etat".
The army had complied with the constitution, he said, and he had reached the presidency "as the result of an absolutely legal transition process".
Congress said he would serve until 27 January, when Mr Zelaya's term was due to expire. Presidential elections are planned for 29 November and Mr Micheletti promised these would go ahead.
Both Congress and the courts had opposed Mr Zelaya's referendum, which asked Hondurans to endorse a vote on unspecified constitutional changes alongside the November elections.
Tensions over the issue had been escalating for several days, with the army refusing to help with preparations for the referendum.
Just before dawn on Sunday, troops stormed the president's residence. There was confusion over his whereabouts for several hours before he turned up in Costa Rica.
Congress said it had voted to remove him because of his "repeated violations of the constitution and the law and disregard of orders and judgments of the institutions of Government".

Recipe Tip
Jane says...I'd normally leave whisky and Guinness to those made of sterner stuff, but a chaser of soft-whipped whisky cream is the perfect foil for my Guinness pudding. You can, of course, use any kind of stout, but then 'whisky and stout pudding' just doesn't have the same ring to it. Soaking the fruit in Guinness really plumps it up and gives a rich, dark pudding without the bitterness of brandy or rum.

Sun Microsystems once again has eyes for Intel, and this time it's serious.
According to the street's word, Sun and Intel will announce a partnership Monday centered around Sun slotting Xeon chips into its servers and Intel backing Solaris x86. Such a relationship would mark Sun's most significant Intel embrace to date. It would also provide Intel with an ample AMD-bashing opportunity.
Word of the Sun/Intel union started to leak last week courtesy of a Bank of America analyst's research note.
"Our checks indicate that Sun Microsystems will begin using Intel's Xeon processors (Woodcrest) for its fast growing x86/x64 server line," the analyst wrote. "We believe that development is currently taking place at the engineering level, with expectations for volume production sometime in late 2007."
Sun and Intel have flirted in the past. Following its $2bn acquisition of Cobalt, Sun briefly sold a line of Intel-based appliances and low-end servers. It later killed that kit and went into an x86 hiatus before emerging with a brand new line of servers based on AMD's Opteron chips. Sun stood as AMD's most vocal backer, and the lone AMD-only Tier 1 server vendor.
No more.
Intel and Sun also once fumbled around creating a version of the Solaris operating system for the Itanium processor. That deal fell apart due to bad blood between the companies – one of many shared spats.
Solaris appears to be the key element in Sun's Intel decision. Intel will apparently help Sun tune Solaris x86 for its chips. Sun likely sees this as a major OEM win and a way to legitimize further its OS for Intel and AMD-based servers, which is far less popular than the same OS for Sun's own SPARC chips.
This partnership was inevitable despite past disagreements between Sun and Intel and their continued high-end chip rivalry. Sun takes its x86 business seriously and needs the Xeon chips to compete against HP, IBM, Dell and others.
As a result of all this, Sun will need to do some major tweaking to its servers – a task left to Sun co-founder and Xeon critic Andy Bechtolsheim's team. ®

The rate of unemployment in the UK fell to 4% from May to July 2018, to its lowest level since the mid-1970s.
Data from the Office for National Statistics shows the number of unemployed people in the UK fell to 1.36 million - 95,000 fewer than a year earlier and the lowest rate since December 1974 to February 1975.
Meanwhile, the rate of employment fell slightly by 0.1%, but remained high at 75.5%.
The figures also showed there were 833,000 job vacancies in June to August 2018. This was 44,000 more than the same time in 2017, and the highest level since 2001.
Suren Thiru, head of economics at the British Chambers of Commerce, said the number of vacancies was at an "alarmingly high level", and that it was "further evidence of persistent skills shortages".
The Institute of Directors (IoD) also commented on the "heated competition" businesses are facing to recruit for the right skills.
Tej Parikh, senior economist at the IoD, said:
"In these circumstances, we would normally expect significant increases to salaries as firms attempt to attract the talent they need, but high costs and subdued productivity growth have impeded this.
"With the Autumn Budget on the horizon, the chancellor must look to provide support for business costs while incentivising investment."

Often when consumers call us with insurance problems, we suggest that they file a complaint with our office. And it's not uncommon for people to say something like "Why should I bother? I already called the insurance company, and they gave me their answer."
First off, don't give up. Filing a complaint with our office can still help.
Here's why: When we receive complaints, we send the paperwork to our contact people at each insurance company. These are usually higher up in the insurance company than the front-line staff who answer customer service questions. Because of their position in the company, the insurance workers we deal with often have more discretion to consider all the factors and make a decision on your claim.
Also, state law says that when an insurance company receives a complaint from our office, the company needs to investigate the issue and respond to us in a timely manner. Sometimes, just the process of having another person from the insurance company take a closer look can lead to a resolution.
Finally, these complaints give our office a window into what's going on within an insurance company, so the time that you spend filing the complaint can help us see a bigger picture. In the long run, that can help a lot of consumers in addition to you. In some cases, complaints by just a few individuals have led to investigations that resulted in refunds to hundreds of people. (Here's an example of that.)
So if you need help -- and live in Washington -- give us a call at 1-800-562-6900 or send an e-mail to email@example.com. (If you live elsewhere, here's how to find your area's insurance regulator.) Our services are free and we won't try to sell you anything. We're the government agency that regulates the insurance industry in Washington state.

Weiner Presses on Despite Growing Calls to Quit Mayor's Race
Weiner has been a favorite in the polls since he launched his political comeback attempt in late May. But he was greeted with boos as he took the stage at a public housing meeting Wednesday evening. By the end of his remarks, however, the crowd was cheering loudly.
Afterward, Weiner said he had expected that revelations would emerge by the end of the campaign, adding "some of them have." But he says his campaign is too important to abandon over "embarrassing personal things" becoming public.
The latest scandal erupted Tuesday after the gossip website The Dirty posted X-rated messages and a crotch shot it said Weiner exchanged with a woman last year while using the online alias "Carlos Danger."
The first poll since the latest scandal broke is scheduled to be released Thursday afternoon.

MWC 15 Special
While Microsoft is currently shipping its Samsung, LG and Asus Windows Phone 7 developer devices, non of the three manufactures (nor HTC) have unveiled or announced a commercial Windows Phone 7 smartphone yet. However, bellow we might see the first commercial Windows Phone 7 smartphone from Asus which somehow made its way to Pakistan. There's a good chance that this is indeed a pre-production device because on the top - right above the speaker - it features a serial number which is often used by manufactures to tag prototypes (just in case the device hits the Web to track down the owner, which - well - it did apparently).
Since the photo was just twittered, no further information were given except: http://tweetphoto.com/37157728 First person in #Pakistan to see a #WP7 yeayyyyyy.
UPDATE: In a later tweet, the publisher of the photo unveiled that the device was from her brother which could mean that the owner of the device is either working for Asus or at Microsoft? Nevertheless, in the meantime the photo was removed from TweetPhoto and the Twitter account was renamed and is now protected. All this can be taken as a proof that the device might be indeed Asus' first Windows Phone 7 smartphone.

ULTIMATE COMFORT FOOD..my family loves this and I make it at least twice a month!!
Mar 17, 2009
My reciept is very much like this one and I think whole milk makes them much better than water that most call for. I am always the one that has to bring the homemakd noodles to all of our get together. I make mine just before it is time to put them in and don't have to put them in the frige that way. I still have time while they are cooking to finih up the rest of the meal then. Like to have a nickel for every one I have made over the last 60 years. Everyone should try at least once to make them, they won't buy the dried ones again. I have taught our childrena and grand children how to make them. JulMoore
Feb 22, 2008
I tried this recipe recently. Although it takes a little time to make the noodles, its worth it. My husband went crazy over it. He said be sure not to lose this recipe!!

Thursday is Pi Day, and it is a celebration of the number Pi (or π) — the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, which is equal to approximately 3.14159. It's also a day to gorge on pie.
And if that isn't enough, it's also Albert Einstein's birthday.
So why celebrate on Thursday, March 14? Because 3.14 is the shorthand version of this number, which PiDay.org describes as an "irrational and transcendental number" whose decimals "continue infinitely without repetition or pattern."
For those who are short on ideas to honor this geeky day, here are some for the nerdy and hungry masses:
- Microsoft wants customers to have a Happy Pi Day by enjoying a 3.14 percent discount on the Dell Latitude 10 tablet.
- The Pie Truck in Washington, D.C. is celebrating with $3.14 pies for happy hour from 5-7 p.m., while Chicago's First Slice Pie Cafe is giving out free slices of pizza at 3:14 p.m. San Franciscans can participate a long day of events sponsored by the Exploratorium that includes a parade, arts and crafts and of course, pie. Incidentally, Pi Day was founded by Exploritorium physicist Larry Shaw 25 years ago.
- From Pi ice cube trays to Pi artwork, there is plenty of Pi swag on Etsy.com and Amazon to get would-be fans into the holiday spirit.
- Those with romantic aspirations can buy a .0314-carat diamond ring from Japanese jewelry retailer Brilliance, which is also celebrating Japan's White Day, where men reciprocate gifts received on Valentine's Day.
- And finally, a DVD of "Life of Pi," which was released on March 12, can cap off a day of Pi and pie celebrations.
Or, as an alternative, here is a cool video about Pi.

Hackers have begun circulating a PHP exploit embedding it in a seemingly harmless GIF image, according to security researchers.
The exploit was discovered in at least one GIF on a major image-hosting website, according to a bulletin from the SANS Institute's Internet Storm Center (ISC) on Tuesday.
"It's interesting and scary to find a file that acts like a regular GIF file, but contains a script exploit," said SANS ISC handler Lorna Hutcheson in the bulletin.
The exploit, coded in PHP script, could be a dangerous new development, Hutcheson said.
"Interestingly enough, the file itself contains a completely legitimate 1x1 gif image at the beginning of the file," she wrote. "It is a clever way to pass exploit code to others without it setting off alarms or attracting attention all while bypassing network security tools."
She also suggested the technique could be used to create a Remote File Inclusion attack, an attack that lets hackers run their own malicious code on an otherwise harmless website.

Bike Delivery

We aim to have all the bikes we stock pre-built and available for immediate purchase online and for in-store collection, once you have ordered a bike from us one of our fully trained Cytech mechanics will package your bike* into one of our custom made bike boxes. These extra-large boxes allow us to ship most bikes almost fully assembled but before we do so our mechanics will carry out a PDI (pre-delivery inspection) on the bike to ensure that before it's prepared for shipping everything is set up correctly, e.g. brakes, gear indexing etc.
Upon receiving your bike, you will simply need to take your new bike out of the box, turn and tighten the handlebars and fit one of the pedal (if your bike comes with pedals). In some instances, such as for road bikes, you may also need to attach the handlebars as they're too wide to simply be rotated so they'll be secured to the side of the frame with zip ties.
If you live outside of MAINLAND UK or in any of the postcodes listed below we can most likely still ship a bike to you but please get in touch as the surcharges we're billed by the courier vary from location to location.
Postcodes: AB, FK, HS, IV, KA, KW, PA, PH, ZE, IM, BT and GU, JE.

Hello summer. Let's eat cake.
Not just any cake. A French yogurt cake. Which is really a lighter version of pound cake. And by lighter, I mean less dense. Which might make it a half-pound cake. Maybe? Maybe not.
It seems everyone has been talking about yogurt cakes for a long time. Even I made a yogurt cake last year, but I never talked about yogurt cake.
So, let's talk.
As lore goes, yogurt cake is one of the few cakes that French people actually bake at home. Seriously, would you bake cakes if you had access to the best pâtisseries and boulangeries mere steps from your kitchen? The French take their pastries very seriously – while a boulangerie is a bakery specializing in breads, a pâtisserie is a legally controlled substance, and can only be called such if it employs a licensed maître pâtissier (master pastry chef). Yes, licensed.
The lore continues that this cake is so easy that children make it. It uses as a measuring cup a standard yogurt tub, measuring a half-cup. Two tubs yogurt, about one tub oil, two tubs sugar, four tubs flour, a smidge of leaveners, two eggs, a quick stir, and into the pan. If you're like me, let's also count the dishes to wash. One bowl, one spoon, one cake pan, one cooling rack. The yogurt tub goes right into the trash.
I set out to test the lore because in my several summers spent in France, I never met anyone who baked this cake. I asked all of my French friends, every single one of them, and none of them have every baked this cake. Neither have their mothers or grandmothers. The only French friends of mine who have ever tasted a yogurt cake are the ones that I've fed.
So yogurt cake is more folklore than lore, more fairytale than truth. It's a cake that began once upon a time in a land far, far away. Little Red Riding Hood would carry it in her basket on the way to Grandmother's house. The witch would feed it to Hansel to fatten him up. Snow White would bake it for the dwarves. Goldilocks would gobble it up while the bears were out on a walk.
Fresh from the oven, the cake's crisp golden top and crunchy edges give way to moist messy crumbs that cling to your fork. Once cooled, the cake slices neatly and its lemon-yogurt tart and tang intensify. The next morning, a quick toast revives the last few slices. They emerge with a dusting of caramelized crumbs that soak up a slather of butter.
There may be no happily ever after, but this cake comes close.
Lemon yogurt cake
This is an easy, one bowl cake that doesn't require a stand mixer, just a whisk and a spatula. I modified a recipe from Bon Appétit, adding a bit more lemon flavor with juice and replacing full-fat Greek yogurt with non-fat plain yogurt. The resulting cake rises a lot, with that classic pound cake golden hump and a cracked top. Serve it with berries – my favorites are blueberries and raspberries. The cake is great the next morning toasted and slathered with butter.
– Nonstick oil spray
– 1 C sugar
– 1 medium lemon for zest and juice
– 3/4 C non-fat or low-fat yogurt
– 1/2 C vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 1 t vanilla
– 1 1/2 C flour
– 1 t baking powder
– 3/4 t salt
Prep. Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Spray a loaf pan (8.5 X 4.25 or 9 X 5) with oil.
Rub. In a large bowl, rub the lemon zest into the sugar with your fingers until really fragrant. This releases the oil in the zest and will make your cake really lemony.
Whisk. Add the juice of the lemon, yogurt, oil, eggs, and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
Stir. With a spatula, stir in the flour, baking powder and salt until smooth.
Bake. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 50-55 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool. Let cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes and then remove from pan and turn onto a rack. Let cool completely (at least 30 minutes) before cutting if you want pretty slices. Or dig in when the cake is still warm and clean up the cut edge after it cools (you know, so it looks pretty for company).

Want softest WW dinner rolls
I want to make the softest possible whole wheat dinner rolls for Thanksgiving. I'm looking at "Dinner Rolls for Aunt Agatha", on page 252 of Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book, possibly making a soaker and biga as preferments a la Peter Reinhardt's new whole grain book. I've also considered adding some potato flakes for a bit of extra softness.
What has been your experience with dinner rolls? I want the soft buttery roll I remember from childhood, just whole wheat. That's not too much to ask, is it? ;~)

SolarWinds has a thriving, 10-year-old community of users that you can find at www.thwack.com. The deep involvement of the SolarWinds community in the company's evolution and product development impressed me when I spoke with Kenny Van Zant, SolarWinds' chief product strategist, last week. As Van Zant says, "The term 'community' is a popular Web 2.0 word these days, but the difference at SolarWinds is that we actually have a community of customers who actively support one another. And we engage daily with our customers, not only to provide ongoing support but also to obtain ideas for the direction of the company."
Community involvement has recently guided SolarWinds as it has extended the ease of use and deployment benefits of the company's flagship Orion network-management suite—in particular, in the arena of large or geographically distributed networks. The new Orion Enterprise Operations Console (EOC) and updated Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) 9.0 deliver comprehensive fault and network performance management that scales with network growth and network-monitoring needs. "Customers asked for these enhancements," says Van Zant, "and we've delivered."
Ensuring optimal network performance while managing and troubleshooting the proliferation of new devices is no small task, particularly for administrators of large, geographically distributed networks. The latest Orion functionality directly tackles this challenge without adding to complexity: Users can simply download the software and typically be up and running in around an hour.
"Solutions built to manage networks for companies with hundreds of employees to tens of thousands of employees, in multiple locations, are usually expensive and difficult to deploy," says Van Zant. "Our latest Orion additions deliver on the promise of enterprise-class performance and retain the same easy-to-deploy, easy-to-use, and easy-to-afford attributes that are the hallmark of SolarWinds' products."
The Orion EOC provides a consolidated command center from which users can monitor the entire enterprise network. Through a single dashboard, engineers can track as few as a hundred to more than several hundred thousand network interfaces, consolidating information from remote Orion servers running Orion NPM and any of its modules. The EOC's WAN-optimized architecture enables large scale network monitoring without impacting WAN performance.
Orion NPM 9.0 provides enhanced overall performance and functionality as well as a new feature called Universal Device Poller, which lets users collect virtually any statistic available on an SNMP-enabled device. Also new is intuitive Web administration, with which users can add, delete, and modify nodes from anywhere in the network. The Web-based console lets users complete a range of node-administration tasks, such as assigning custom properties to a node or editing multiple nodes at once.
The Orion EOC and Orion NPM 9.0 are available now. Pricing for Orion EOC is $4,995 for any number of monitored Orion servers. First year maintenance is included free. Pricing for Orion NPM starts at $2,475 for 100 monitored elements, including first year maintenance. For more information, visit www.solarwinds.com/resources.
And as always, you can find a wide array of information and tips from SolarWinds company experts as well as peer support and perspectives on all the SolarWinds network-management products (including Orion EOC and Orion NPM 9.0) at www.thwack.com.
"Our community is what differentiates us dramatically from our competition," says Van Zant.

Landowners interested in forestry and wildlife on their woodlots have an opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills this fall through programs offered by UNH Cooperative Extension's Natural Resources Forestry and Wildlife Program.
The "Caring for Your Forest Workshop Series" features four different workshops. Landowners may attend one, two, or all four of these workshops. The cost covers refreshments and handout materials. UNH Extension county foresters, wildlife biologists, specialists, and private foresters will teach the classes.
Participants will be "in the field" for at least part of the day and should come prepared for weather. All workshops will be held at the UNH Sawmill, 248 Mast Road, Durham, and will offer landowners the unique opportunity to learn from management on UNH woodlands.
The Logs to Lumber workshop will also be offered at a second location, Ricker Brook Forest, 172 Taterboro Road, Sandwich. Content of the workshop will be similar to the Logs to Lumber workshop held at UNH, but will vary slightly to take advantage of the specific site.

As it is with many artists, Isaac Slade often works firsthand experiences into the songs that he writes for his rock band, The Fray.
For instance, after he and his younger brother, Caleb, had a falling out early in the group's formation and Caleb was kicked out, the lyrics for 2005's "Over My Head (Cable Car)" rose out of the rift: "Let's rearrange/I wish you were a stranger I could disengage/Just say that we agree and then never change/Soften a bit until we all just get along."
And it was Slade's work as a mentor at a camp for troubled teens that became the well that he drew from to write "How to Save a Life." The song, off the double-platinum album of the same name, includes the lines "Lay down a list of what is wrong/The things you've told him all along/And pray to God he hears you/And pray to God he hears you." The song peaked in the top 3 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.
"Whatever situation we're in might make it into the music," said Slade, The Fray's pianist and lead vocalist.
He added that he never relies on a write-by-numbers formula.
"Each song tends to come from a different process. Sometimes there's an initial germ of a thought — a seed, almost. You plant it in the soil and see what happens," he explained. "Six months later, three months later, or even the next day, I might listen to a demo or something and get inspired because it reminds me of some story or something that I'm trying to say. Then you start tending to it like a crop."
Listening to The Fray's fourth studio album, "Helios," which was released in February, it's apparent that this is a good time both personally and professionally for Slade and his bandmates — guitarists Joe King and Dave Welsh and drummer Ben Wysocki. Slade and Wysocki are both new fathers and the album's first single, the upbeat "Love Don't Die," has spent the past nine weeks on Billboard's Hot 100.
"It's a bright record," Slade said about "Helios," "and we're all in the bright seasons of our lives."
They're also in the midst of an extensive concert tour, with stops at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula on Friday and at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Given that Helios is the mythical Greek sun god, it was fitting that the band traveled to the expansive Ivanpah solar energy project in California's Mojave Desert to shoot photos for the album. With more than 300,000 mirrors reflecting the sun's rays, the facility generates enough energy to power 140,000 homes.
"It's incredible what that thing can do — it's our generation's Hoover Dam," said the 33-year-old Slade. "Those big garage door-sized mirrors are called heliostats, so we borrowed from that inspiration, which resonated with the Greek god reference. It all kind of made sense."
It also made sense to shake up the process for producing "Helios." They brought in Grammy-winning British electronic musician Stuart Price, who has worked with The Killers, Pet Shop Boys and Madonna.
Slade admits that recording a song routinely meant 20 or even 30 vocal takes before he would be satisfied.
"We probably used to struggle the most with over-thinking things," he said. "Second-guessers were amateurs to us; we would quadruple-guess."
But Price's method consists of coming into the studio, do two or three quality takes and then move on.
"We knew he was going to push us, and he did," Slade said.
When it comes to experiences, life on the road often includes some memorable ones — and, of course, potential material for future songs. Like during a stadium tour in 2010 when the band opened for U2, and Slade and crew were able to hang out with their musical idols. Or early one Sunday, the morning after a concert on the Mediterranean island of Malta, when everyone arrived at the airport and Slade discovered he had lost his airline ticket.
"I was told, 'Sorry, it's non-refundable. If you don't have a ticket you don't leave Malta,'" he recalls. "It was a frantic rush. I ended up having to buy a second ticket for an ungodly amount of money an hour before the flight took off. It was crazy."
More recently, there were some speed bumps along the road to "Helios." One came in the form of "Give it Away," a track that separates itself from others on the album thanks to its light funk sound. Work continued on the lyric until the 11th hour, when Slade said they were finally able to "hammer something out that was real and authentic, and still us but new."
He adds they weren't sure how "Give it Away" would be received until the first time they performed it live last month at Baltimore's Pimlico race track the day before the Preakness Stakes.
"It was amazing," Slade said. "There was one moment when the whole crowd started dancing, moving around and jumping up and down."
The Fray will likely witness many more moments like that during the weeks ahead as the band has another 30 concerts in the United States and Canada through the end of July before the tour moves overseas in mid-September.

Born 1848 Illinois into a longtime American family, he was the 6th generation. His father was town Marshall so Wyatt grew up in law enforcement environment. At 13, he ran away to join in the Civil War (north) and the first officer he found to report for duty, happened to be his father and he was sent home.
As a young adult he had many jobs: constable, railroad crew – caring for horses and supplying food, buffalo hunting, and as bartender and gambler which became a constant and favorite source of income. Throughout his travels he met many frontiersmen, those in law enforcement, wranglers, and gunman.
The most important lesson I learned from those proficient gunfighters was that the winner of the gun play was usually the man that took his time. The second was that, if I hoped to live long on the frontier I would shun flashy trick shooting—grandstand play— as I would poison. pg 12He is most famous for the shootout at the OK Corral – there is no record that he actually killed anyone and it was really his brother and good friend Doc Holliday who had the feud with the Clanton gang. In fact – he wasn't even initially mentioned in any of the news accounts.
After the incident, Wyatt traveled around with west with his second wife, Josie. They went to ID, CO, WY, TX
1895 Shaky-Fitzsimmons boxing match in San Francisco was much advertised as the match of the season. Wyatt had become involved in the boxing circle, mostly as a respected referee. In the end it was said that Wyatt awarded the fight to the wrong man and there were accusations of giving the fight away for $$. Time to pack up and leave town for awhile until things settled down! This was one of the biggest scandals in the boxing world until Mike Tyson and the ear biting. (or so said the author)
1897 departed Seattle for Alaska to meet up with Soapy Smith. They had crossed paths in CO where their wives had gotten acquainted. When Soapy started taking over Skagway, a mutual friend knew they would need someone to keep "law and order" and they both thought of Wyatt.
By this time Wyatt may have had warrants out for his arrest for various financial misdealings. Even though he had been in law enforcement, this didn't mean he wasn't always on the right side of the law. He often used it to his advantage. When the ship pulled into Wrangell, he saw the Marshall standing on the dock and thought he was in for it. It turned out to be an acquaintance he new in the SW (who had also done jail time). The Marshall asked Wyatt to help him out as deputy while waiting for the next passage to Skagway. When the ship finally came they had a stop over in Juneau and here is where they heard that Soapy wasn't in Skagway at the time AND that Josie was pregnant so they decided to go back to SF until the baby was born and travel was easier. This might also have been when he left his pistol in Juneau locked up at the Marshall's office while he was in town. It is supposedly at the Red Dog Saloon but I haven't verified that.
Wyatt later described Wrangell as "just like Hell-On-Wheels," which in the old days was the term used to describe the unruly camps at the en of the rack as the Union Pacific rails headed West.
Wyatt was more into business – looking for his big opportunity in gambling, liquor, horse racing, boxing, transportation – whatever would make a buck!
Josie lost the child and they soon after decided to head to Dawson for the rush, as Skagway was already starting to see a decline in travelers. They decided this time to take the all-water route. They arrived in St Michael in last summer and took their chances heading up the Yukon river. Due to approaching winter and ice in the river they only make it as far as Rampart.
1898 Rampart was a temporary settlement of from 1-2000 during the gold rush and became home to many who were making their way to Dawson. Home to Rex Beach, Jack London, Robert Service, Joaquin Miller, Elmer Stroller White (known as the Mark Twain of the North and eventual member of house of representatives of Alaska Territorial Leg), Sid Grauman – Hollywood's Chinese Theatre, Tex Rickert (built Madison Square Gardens).
I know that our Uncle Gus Conradt also made Rampart his home about this same time period, also being stranded by the river freezing up. I know he talks about Rex Beach but i don't think he mentioned Wyatt. And from what I've been told, I'm pretty sure that they would have gotten along really well as they seemed to have shared similar attitudes and morals. The Earp's rented Beach's cabin as he was out trapping and wasn't in town very much. Wyatt became a bartender for the winter.
So here is something interesting and reinforced what I read in another biography about the teacher in the 1910s who was in Fort Yukon. Dogs knew that the paddlewheeler was coming before the people did – the cooks saved the table scraps for the dogs and fed them when they pulled into town. There is a similar story in A Schoolteacher in Old Alaska (Hannah Breece).
During that winter, a young couple wanted to get married. There was no satin material for a dress so the women got together and sewed up burlap and added hundreds of "Sparklers" by cutting tin cans into small bits and sewing them on the dress accompanied with a mosquito netting veil.
When the river started to flow again, Wyatt was approached about going to St Michael to run a canteen for a good percentage of the profits. The rush to Dawson was starting to dwindle so they decided to spend a year running the canteen. But the next year the lure of Nome and the newest, biggest, gold rush was too much and they headed up the Bering sea.
July 1897 – arrived in Nome to miles of tents strewn up on the beaches. Decided to build a wood structure and in the following year the had the first 2-story building called the Dexter. Profits must have been good because they decided to spend the next winter in SF and along the way they opened up a saloon in Seattle.
During these times, local option often pre-empted US law and here is one example: The sale of liquor was supposed to be prohibited since Alaska was considered Indian Territory, but if a majority of the men AND women in the area approved the sale of liquor then you could go ahead and did it. This was the first known record of American women being allowed an equal vote of men.
In general there are numerous accounts of misbehavior by Earp in the newspapers that can't be confirmed – too many conflicting dates and reports in the various newspapers (San Francisco, Seattle, Alask) that don't seem to jive. But all reports seem to agree on the incidents:
jumping claims, interfering with arrests, getting into fights. Reports were also mixed when describing Wyatt's character: some say he was less than popular, others say he was well-respected. His reputation certainly prevented any gunfighter incidences from happening in the area.
He was as crooked as a three dollar bill. He and his brothers were racketeers, all of them. They shook people down, they did everything they could to get dough.1901 – decided to leave Nome despite the rush still going on – came away with between $80 – 250,000 which would be well over a million dollars by today's value.
Greatest Disappointments
Josie – not to have meet Soapy Smith
Wyatt – in 1900 a Deputy Marshall was to be chosen and Wyatt was the obvious choice, but another man was selected
After Alaska, they headed to Nevada and opened up another saloon/gambling joint. Retired to LA and was often called upon for special security jobs. Hung out at the studios and had a brief appearance in a Douglas Fairbanks movie in 1916. He came to know Marion Morrison (John Wayne) who has said that he based some of his western characters on Earp.
He died in 1929 at the age of 80. Josie died in 1944.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Dow Jones Industrial Average component JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM - Free JPMorgan Stock Report) is one of the largest banks in the world, with operations in more than 50 nations. The New York City-based company is the product of mergers of more than 1,000 institutions during the past 200-plus years. Although the company didn't sidestep the credit quality and other issues that have depressed bank results in the last few years, it has performed relatively better than most of its peers in the industry.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. traces its earliest roots to The Bank of The Manhattan Co., founded in 1799 by then U.S. Senator Aaron Burr. Following a yellow fever epidemic, he established a fresh water supplier, The Manhattan Company, and used a provision in the water company's charter to set up a bank. Much later, in 1877, John Thompson, a Wall Street publisher, established Chase National Bank, named after Salmon P. Chase, who was Treasury Secretary under President Lincoln. That company acquired a number of banks through the years, including, in 1930, one with extensive overseas operations, The Equitable Trust Co. of New York. A large portion of Equitable's stock was owned by members of the Rockefeller family, and following World War II, David Rockefeller rose through Chase's management ranks to become Chief Executive Officer. In 1955, Chase National merged with The Bank of The Manhattan Co. to form The Chase Manhattan Bank.
Other predecessors of JPMorgan Chase started life as part of manufacturing concerns. New York Manufacturing Co., which built cotton-processing equipment, established a bank in 1817 that eventually became Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co. And in 1824, the New York Chemical Manufacturing Co., a producer of chemicals, medicines, and paints, set up The Chemical Bank. The company eventually shed the chemicals operations and renamed itself Chemical Banking Corporation. It made a number of notable purchases over the years, including Texas Commerce Bank in 1987, Manufacturers Hanover Corporation in 1991, and The Chase Manhattan Co. in 1996, when it adopted The Chase Manhattan name.
Another namesake predecessor was formed in 1871, when J. Pierpont Morgan and Anthony Drexel founded Drexel, Morgan & Co. The bank became known for reorganizing financially-weak railroads and financing the mergers that formed major industrial corporations, like General Electric Co. (GE - Free General Electric Stock Report). In 1904, it helped raise funds for the purchase of the land rights needed to build the Panama Canal. Following the 1929 stock market crash, the company spun off its investment banking business, which became Morgan Stanley (MS). After merging with Guaranty Trust Co. (inventor of the American Depositary Receipt) in 1959, the company renamed itself Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. In 2000, it merged with The Chase Manhattan Corp., calling itself J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
Meanwhile, midwestern banks, some with roots in the early nineteenth century, were also joining forces. In 1995, First Chicago Corp. merged with Detroit-based NBD Bancorp, with the combined company called First Chicago NBD. That company and Banc One Corp. joined forces in 1998, to form Bank One Corp. Finally, in 2004, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. merged with Bank One, to form JPMorgan Chase & Co., with Bank One's Chairman, James Dimon, assuming the title of President and Chief Operating Officer at the time of the merger. He was named Chairman of the Board in 2007.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. divides its operations into five main business groups. The first two account for the lion's share of revenues, but their profits have been subject to dramatic swings in recent years. When depression era rules separating banking from investment banking began to crumble in the 1980s, many large banks rebuilt their investment banking operations via acquisitions and by obtaining permission from regulators to engage in specific investment banking activities. JPMorgan Chase's Consumer & Community Banking segment rakes in a majority of the equity's net income, with the Corporate & Investment Banking division, which engages in debt and equity underwriting, trading, advisory, corporate lending, and principal investing activities, coming in a close second.
Profits in the remaining three smaller business groups aren't as volatile as the preceding two, but together they account for only a third or so of JPMorgan Chase's bottom line. Commercial Banking lends to midsized firms, large companies, and municipalities, and includes commercial real estate lending. And the Asset Management division provides investment management and private banking services.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. also reports the results of a Corporate/Private Equity division which, in addition to the results of a private equity investment operation and of managing the investment securities portfolio, includes unallocated corporate expenses. The bottom-line contribution from this segment has also been subject to dramatic swings from year to year.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. certainly hasn't sailed through the past few difficult years unscathed. Like other banks, it has had to contend with the deterioration in credit quality, the impact of soft economic activity and tighter regulations on revenue growth, and the mortgage mess (mortgage loan losses, litigation, investor demands that the bank buy back sour mortgage loans, and pressure to modify delinquent mortgages). It also had to absorb losses related to its acquisition of brokerage firm Bear Stearns and contend with high mortgage loan losses at Washington Mutual. (The two ailing firms were acquired in May and September, 2008.) But the company appears to have come through the storm in better shape than many other banks.
Prior to the 2004 merger, Chairman James Dimon had effected a dramatic turnaround at Bank One, which lost about $500 million in 2000 but earned $3.5 billion three short years later. On taking the helm at JPMorgan Chase & Co. (which wasn't in dire shape like Bank One, but had plenty of room for improvement), he reduced expenses and scaled back some risky activities. In 2005, prior to the 2008 recession and before the housing crisis erupted, the company limited the amount of subprime credit issued by its card and consumer banking operations, and it decided not to offer certain high-risk mortgage products that eventually resulted in huge losses at other banks. Absent those credit decisions and other conservative moves, the company's consumer and mortgage loan losses since 2005, albeit high, might have been significantly greater.
The company also focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet and healthy loan loss reserve and equity capital levels, which help banks muddle through in tough times. Although JPMorgan Chase & Co., like most large banks, accepted bank bailout funds ($25 billion) from the government in late 2008 (which it repaid just eight months later), the company has indicated that its core equity capital ratios would have been decent without the infusion.
JPMorgan Chase also got out of businesses that didn't suit it, like lending for manufactured housing and recreational vehicles, and focused on building up other operations, including energy trading and retail banking (adding bank branches and retail loan officers). Its diverse business mix also helped it offset a steep loss in the credit card business with strength in its other operations in 2009.
Over the coming five years, we look for JPMorgan Chase to introduce new products and services at the branches acquired from Washington Mutual. The deal significantly expanded its branch network in rapidly growing markets, like California, and JPMorgan should be able to raise the profitability of those operations. The company also intends to expand its mid-size commercial banking and credit card activities in the former Washington Mutual markets. In the Investment Banking business, JPMorgan plans to build out its commodities platform (significantly enhanced by the addition of Bear Stearns) and expand its international operations. Note that, although these and other expansion initiatives should aid earnings growth, the bottom line probably will get its biggest boost as credit costs, litigation expense, and the costs of restructuring and buying back sour mortgage loans ease over the next several years. Resolutions of these problems also should free up equity capital that can be used to support the growth initiatives.
Progress probably won't be smooth. JPMorgan already appears to have lost some investment banking market share as formerly ailing competitors have started to bounce back. Also, the uneven economic recovery and regulatory reform rule changes probably will continue to restrain revenue growth in the near term. Even so, we look for earnings to advance at a mid-teens rate to 2015-2017, and believe the stock has long-term appeal for patient investors, though it may be too volatile for conservative investors.
Like many other banks, JPMorgan Chase slashed the dividend on its common stock in early 2009. The move freed up equity capital and probably facilitated the company's early repayment of the preferred stock sold to the government. The company received permission from regulators to partially restore the payout in early 2011 and is targeting an eventual payout ratio of 35%, but it may take time for the dividend to climb back to pre-recession levels.
At the time of this article's writing, the author did not have positions in any of the companies mentioned.

Your morning roundup for Aug. 27, the day Chevy Chase's resurgence finally got to Dan Aykroyd, but not necessarily to Bill Murray, because Bill Murray knows he's better than Ghostbusters 3. This, because he unequivocally is. Got any stories or photos for us? Tip your editors.
What we watched: "Taxi Driver" was on for a while. But I wished it was "Dog Day Afternoon." At one point, I even requested "Bachelor Pad," because I'm holding out till Vienna snaps in a way that people haven't snapped on TV before. But then I realized they edit that shit well in advance, so if she took a chunk out of someone's neck, we'd never see it. ABC would make fucking sure of it. Defeats the purpose of presenting reality television not exactly as reality reality — we're long past that point — but as the reality created by putting a school of touched people on a televised gerbil wheel partially immersed in a puddle of vanity and syphilis. It's not like they drown in it; it just splashes around, getting on everyone and everything. Club soda gets most of it out, but it still leaves a faint stain.
So, I put "The Town" on. It was decent, and not just because Renner wears a T-shirt from the Irish Pub in A.C., which is a place I love, and a place I suspect will be just fine despite the storm surge which'll show up later today/tonight/tomorrow. Just is.
I watched a lot of Weather Channel, too, because it grabbed me yesterday morning. The UEFA Super Cup was awesome, too. But damn, this new Wake Up Deadspin format is confusing.
Former NBA player charged with killing mother of four in unintended drive-by: "When he saw the person he believed robbed him, a former NBA player and Georgia Tech standout fired gunshots from a black SUV, striking a 23-year-old mother of four, Atlanta police said. Now, Javaris Crittenton, 23, faces a murder charge in the death of Jullian Jones, authorities said Friday night." [AJC]
The skies spoke to the Calgarian, and it spoke well of Cheechoo's future: "James Redeker, of Calgary, said he took the above picture on Wednesday morning and then emailed it to NewsChannel 5 and wrote, "I think it may be God's way of telling me to bet on the Blues to win the Stanley Cup this year." The cloud above the fence and trees appears to show a backwards Blue Note, the symbol of the Blues. [KSDK]
"I cannot bring Declan back, but I can help spread the word on aerial lift safety": "The University of Notre Dame launched a website Friday publicizing the hazards of aerial lifts, part of its settlement with the state over safety violations in the death of a student videographer at football practice last year."

Rockingham County began a watershed protection program in 1993 to protect drinking water sources from the risk of pollution. Watershed overlay districts were established to impose higher land use and development standards around and/or upstream from drinking water supplies. All land use activities are regulated in designated drinking supply watersheds except existing development (projects that are built or have established a vested right under North Carolina law). The watershed regulations are found in Chapter 4 and Chapter 8 of the Unified Development Ordinance.
The Rockingham County Planning Department is responsible for Watershed Protection and Stormwater Management for the County's six drinking water supply watersheds. In addition to Watershed Protection duties, the Department is also charged with the enforcement of the Jordan Lake Rules, public education of stormwater issues, detection and elimination of illicit stormwater discharges, and Floodplain Management and permitting. The Planning Department coordinates with other agencies when reviewing plans for site and subdivision development to ensure compliance with local, State and Federal regulations.

Dave (Old School EFI) is working on this for me:
My 1984 Fiero Indy Pace Car with SD4 (Super Duty 4-cylinder) race engine.
This SD4 engine originally ran dual Weber side-draft carbs in race trim before being transplanted into the Fiero
(but was never run in the car - installation was never completed by previous 2 owners).
When I got the car, the engine was rebuilt and detuned (C.R. was 13.5:1 - now 10.5:1) we went with a 4-bbl carb on Edelbrock 4-bbl manifold. I never could get it working quite right. Transitions from cruise to WOT always had a bog in there we couldn't tune out. Cold starts were OK, but you couldn't drive until it warmed up a bit and it also got horrible gas mileage.
I installed a FAST EZ-EFI - a fuel only system designed to replace a 4-bbl carb (you retain your weights/springs/vacuum distributor for ignition). While the hardware seemed to work great, the "self-tuning" fell flat on its face with this engine. It was over-fueling the engine for some reason.
I wasted the entire summer following up the diagnosis from FAST's technicians:
1. must be installed wrong
2. must have an exhaust leak
3. must be "interference" (your car is haunted)
After eliminating all possible problems and an ocilloscope diagnosis of all signals came up clean,
it became apparent I had a case of "there's nothing wrong - but it just won't work right".
I gave up on their ECU and went the DIY route. I kept only the FAST EZ-EFI throttle body, built a new wiring harness and installed a 8192 baud Delco 1227165 ECM with an NVRAM module from pcmhackers.net to run the car. This slick combination gives you the ability to Flash BINs, Real-Time Emulation and Tuning with TunerPro RT directly through the ALDL port. I also added a knock sensor and switched back to an ECM controlled ignition system on the engine.
I started with a modded $12P BIN for Camaro 350 TPI w/SD - changed parameters to 4-cylinders and fuel to suit the 2-injector setup.
It started on the second crank - and ran not bad! Proof of concept confirmed!
Thankfully, Dave is working on the fine-tuning of the $12P BIN for 7165 ECM with NVRAM right now.
I was able to put this together, but the TunerPro learning curve is like a steep vertical cliff for me.
It's ongoing, but getting better with each BIN I flash into the ECM.

The iPhone 5 rumors just won't dry up. On top of news that the iPhone 5 would get a "radical redesign," Bloomberg is reporting Apple's new device will get an 8-megapixel camera and dual-core CPU. There's also some bits on a Retina Display iPad 3s and the "iPhone Nano."
BGR might have made headlines yesterday with its sources saying the iPhone 5 would sport a completely revamped design with a tapered body, but Bloomberg is throwing its own sources into the ring now. According to Bloomberg's unnamed sources, the iPhone 5 is a modest spec boost, 5-megapixel camera to 8-megapixels, single core A4 CPU to dual-core A5 CPU and no significant tapered body — intel we've heard in the past.
Also in the report, the iPad 3 will be "about one-third higher than that of the iPad 2" and will have a "more responsive touchscreen." Apparently, Apple is still chugging along with a "cheaper version of the iPhone aimed at attracting customers in developing countries." Smaller iPhone? We've been hearing about that one since the smartphone launched in 2007!
At this point, the rumors mesh with almost every iPhone 5 report we've written about in the last few months. Additional rumored updates include a larger edge-to-edge display, redesigned antennas and global GSM/CDMA support. We've also heard the LED flash will be relocated from next to the rear camera to across from it.
While Bloomberg's sources aren't lightweights by any means, the outlet has been wrong before. On the other hand, the Wall Street Journal almost always seems to hit the rumors on the head with Yukari Iwatani Kane always writing up some kind of Apple-related story that ends up being true. So, until the WSJ weighs in, more powerful iPhones, Retina Display iPads and smaller iPhones are mere fodder for the fans to munch on.

The San Jose Earthquakes Juniors were finalists in the 2011 Mustang Stampede Tournament in Danville, CA over the weekend in the U-15 Premier Bracket.
The collection of U-14 talent was 2-1-0 in group play against North Bay Elite FC, Columbia Basin United FC and Mustang SC Internazionale, outscoring opponents 7-2 in the process.
In the semifinals, the Quakes faced second-place Group A finishers P.A.C. Atlas and secured a 1-0 victory.
"Our players really adjusted well to the high level of play in this tournament," said Earthquakes coach Jeff Jenkins. "The size, speed and physicality of the athletes in this bracket is a step up for our players. I'm proud of our guys for pulling out the win."
The final was a rematch against Mustang SC Internazionale with the host club taking home the trophy on a 2-1 victory. It was the second consecutive Stampede title for the strong Mustang Inter team.
The Earthquakes U-14s were led by Danny Basulto, Isaiah Brown and Nils Langstrom. Basulto had three goals and Brown and Langstrom each netted twice. Keepers Edgar Benitez and David Heredia combined for three shutouts in five games.
"We came up short, but it was a good tournament for us and we had some great performances to build on for the rest of our fall season" Brown said. "We made it all the way to the final and proved we can play at this level. Not bad, especially when more than half our team is playing up a year."
