IN African Igbo dialect the name "Azubuike" means "has much strength." It's a fitting description of Towson defensive tackle Azubuike Ukandu, who was dubbed by his Nigerian-born father in hopes that his son would live up to the moniker.
"When I was very young [my father] told me what my name meant," Ukandu said. "It was an honor, but it was also a little bit of pressure. I felt like I had to live up to it; I wanted to represent it well."
So far, so good.
Ukandu is a terror at defensive tackle
Ukandu has grown into a 6-foot-2, 280-pound mammoth of a man with the might to match his mass. His 360-pound bench press, 470-pound squat and 525-pound deadlift top the charts at Towson.
"It's pretty impressive watching him lift," said Ukandu's cousin, Eric, who plays defensive back for Towson. "We have other big guys, but he's definitely the strongest. He's just a big, strong dude."
Ukandu's pure power has impressed his teammates, but his girth alone has the students turning their heads. At Towson, a small class-2A school that isn't exactly teeming with big-boned kids, Ukandu dwarfs his fellow classmates. When strolling the hallways, he turns three-lane highways into one-way side streets.
"He's impossible to miss," said Towson coach Scott Mathena. "If you're walking around you're bound to run into him at some point."
Strength and size alone do not define a football player, however. Which is why Ukandu would much rather talk about his Friday night exploits, where, for the last two years, he's turned the football field into a literal "stomping" ground.
He is considered the top public-school defensive tackle in Baltimore and one of the best in the entire state, according to scouts. At a recent Nike SPARQ combine, analyst Michael White called him "an ideal fit to plug the middle [of a defense]."
Mathena agreed.
"Anything in the middle he pretty much owns; he shuts the door," the coach said. "No one gets any yards running up the middle against us. He's extremely strong, he has great lateral movement and he explodes off the ball. He gave teams a whole lot of trouble last year."
About the only thing more difficult then blocking Ukandu is pronouncing his name. When yours truly dialed the big man's cell, Ukandu couldn't help but chuckle at the reporter's butchery.
Reporter: "Hello, is Ah-za-bweek You-can-do there?"
Ukandu: "OK, I'll help you out - it's Az-a-boo-kee Ooh-ka-doo."
Reporter: "Ah-za ? OK, I give up (laughs). Can I just call you 'Az?'"
Azubuike Ukandu is not a familiar name now, but local fans, players and writers will know it soon enough. With several scholarship offers already in his pocket, he's destined to play on Saturdays.
That didn't seem possible just three years ago.
Before high school, Ukandu had never strapped on a helmet or a pair of pads, mainly because he weighed too much for the rec teams. He did dabble in a bit of backyard basketball and touch football, but nothing organized.
But evidently he must have learned something substantial. By the time he reached ninth grade Ukandu was one of the best linemen at Towson. The coaches kept him down on jayvee that year to hone his fundamentals, but it was clear the kid could play.
Mathena, who was a jayvee coach at Hereford at the time, got his first glimpse of Ukandu that year when Hereford's junior varsity played Towson's. Although the Bulls dominated the game, Ukandu sure gave Mathena's kids some problems.
"He stood out even then," Mathena said. "You could tell he was a a little raw and undisciplined, but you could see that explosiveness right away. You knew with a little coaching he'd be special."
Little did Mathena know, he'd be the one doing the coaching. After the 2008 season ended Mathena jumped at the chance to take over for then-Towson coach Harry McNeir. After reviewing his new personnel, he promptly stuck Ukandu on the varsity defensive line.
The move paid off. Ukandu still needed some fine-tuning, but his size, speed and power were too much for the Baltimore County competition.
"He really clogged up the holes," Eric Ukandu said. "You couldn't run at him."
Ukandu excelled at defensive tackle, but the moment he truly separated himself had nothing to do with stuffing the run or hunting quarterbacks.
In the 2010 season finale against Catonsville, Mathena decided to add a few new wrinkles to the offense. Just for kicks he inserted Ukandu into the lineup at fullback. The defensive-tackle-turned-blocking-'back proceeded to flatten two Comets linebackers and rack up a few solid gains on the ground.
"We kind of put him back there last minute and he looked like a natural," Mathena said. "That's when we knew he was more then just a typical lineman - he could really move for a guy his size. He could probably play fullback at the next level if he had to. That's how athletic he is."
Ukandu called the game "fun," although he didn't want to make fullback a permanent gig.
"I'm a defensive guy," Ukandu said. "But it did feel good to get a few carries. I felt comfortable back there."
About the only thing he's not comfortable with is conversation. Ukandu can go an entire school day, plus all of practice, without uttering so much as a "yes, sir" or "no, sir," according to Mathena.
Of course, the side Ukandu shows his coach and the side he shows his friends are a little different.
"He comes over my house and talks all the time," Erick Ukandu said. "He can actually be a little cocky sometimes (laughs). But if he doesn't know you, he won't say a whole lot."
That's especially true on game days. Despite playing down in the trenches, where linemen are yapping and jawing all game long, Ukandu rarely utters a word.
"I want to be the quiet assassin," he said. "No reason to give the other guys any motivation."
Ukandu's game was anything but quiet last year. After building his body and improving his footwork during the offseason, he became virtually unstoppable on defense. That is, until he suffered an early-season injury that knocked him out a few games.
But Ukandu returned in time for a midseason match against Chesapeake. As if he were making up for lost time, he racked up 17 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble.
With Towson leading 9-6 late in the game, Ukandu single-handedly ended Chesapeake's comeback hopes. Chesapeake tried a play-action pass, but Ukandu pummeled the center, knifed into the backfield and practically grabbed the ball out of the quarterback's hands. He then pounced on the loose ball, setring Towson up for their game-icing touchdown.
"He just tore Chesapeake apart," Mathena said. "They couldn't touch him."
Ukandu's stellar career, along with his 3.8 GPA, solid size and superior strength has opened the eyes of everyone from Baltimore County foes to Division-I college recruiters.
Based on that alone, it would seem Ukandu has finally lived up to his name, the one his father bestowed upon him at birth.
Just don't tell the big man that.
"Not yet," Ukandu said, carefully considering his career. "I'm nowhere near done yet."
Fitting response from an "Azubuike."

DAVIES Ingwe knows what it is like when a nightmare comes true.
At the age of six, he told his grandfather about his desire to marry a white woman.
He nursed that fantasy until he crossed paths with Laura Atkinson, a child specialist based in Melborne, Australia.
The rendezvous was Ndola's Plaza Five Cinema where a youth Christian film get-together was taking place.
The year was 2009.
He was wearing pink and when his eyes crashed with Laura's, he knew destiny was calling.
"I couldn't doubt for once that was my wife. She was shy and my heart was racing like a child," he recalls with graphic memory events of that afternoon.
Before the Plaza Five defining moment, a lot had been going on the part of Davies.
He had visited places and had seen a lot of faces while making music and tours with DMK a popular gospel group he founded.
Apart from performing locally, DMK has also performed in South Africa, Botswana, and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and recently in Namibia where the group performed before a capacity crowd of 1,800 people at the Namibian University.
Other members of the group are Kelvin Mwaba and Mark Kabalu.
However, one afternoon, back home in Ndola, his female friend from Mobile Mission Maintenance, a Christian youth gospel outreach project, was arranging for her wedding and wanted him to be part of the line-up.
Unknown to him, when he agreed to be part of the line-up, he had sub-consciously signed-up for his destiny.
He later learnt that two white girls would be part of the line-up.
Right there and then, it sounded familiar to his hopes and dreams and so he took the plunge.
From then on, he grew curious and began pestering his friend to provide more information about two girls.
The first thing he wanted to know was their age. One was 29 and the other was 23.
"The younger of the two will be my wife," he told his friend, who took that as a joke at first.
She never realised Davies was a fighter and single focused.
The "never say die" spirit is part of his pedigree.
Born of a Lamba mother and a Zulu father, he is proud of his cross-culture heritage.
When, he was a little boy his grandfather used to flood him with all sorts of tales regarding history and the way things got by.
His love for hats and tweedy outfits is genetic.
His grandfather was a fan of such.
Anyhow, from then on, his friend became the intersection between the two.
She would convey the information to Laura and he would get the feedback, sometimes not satisfactory, but he never gave up his quest of chasing after his dream.
Thus, when Laura came to Zambia, common ground had been established between them.
She, however, was not sure of Davies at first.
And so she did not make herself available to him, which is why she preferred communicating to him through their established channel.
His surname in Zulu means Leopard, and by nature the leopard is not only graceful, but an ambusher.
He did not want to ambush her, but wanted to take things naturally.
"I would send texts messages to her, but she wouldn't reply to them. I only got feedback through my friend," he said.
His love could not wait for the opportunity to meet with her and he begged her through his friend for a date.
After several weeks, the date happed to be Plaza Five.
After the Plaza Five experience, one thing led to another and the rest is now history.
As Laura would write in her own words "It was like the beginning of a whole new adventure and I knew from that moment I saw him, he was the one for me. I felt very strongly in my heart that I could see a future".
They dated for two years, and in April of 2012, they got married in Tasmania an Island at the base of Australia.
Tasmania is an island state which is part of the Commonwealth of Australia, located 240 kilometres to the south of the Australian continent, separated by the Bass Strait.
The 26th world ranked Island and the state has a population of 507,626 (as of June 2010), of whom almost half reside in the greater Hobart princint.
When they began dating, he never wanted to fake happiness, which is why he was not under pressure to please her by keeping up appearances, or living a borrowed lifestyle.
By then, he was renting a servants quarters with group members in Ndola's Kansenshi area
"I took her to the house of my parents first. I wanted her to see where I was staying and accept me," he said.
He taught her how to cook Nshima and she has leant the art pretty fast.
Every time she would visit him, she would cook Nshima much to the surprise of his housemates.
By the time, he took her to her relatives; she had a concept of his worldview and culture.
Back in Tasmania, her mother was interested to meet Davies, perhaps approve of her daughter's zebra relationship, with the then 25-year-old ambitious youth.
She had learnt of Davies through her daughter's stories but she was eager to meet her prospective son in-law who spots a well groomed moustache and beard.
Thus, she flew with Laura to Zambia they embarked on an adventurous journey of knowing each other.
"We went places and visited a number of tourist sites in Zambia and Chobe in Botswana," he said.
After the adventure, Davies was accepted in the Atkinson's family.
Davies's love with Laura grew like tender twigs.
Even though they were thousands of kilometres apart, they nourished their love through Facebook and phones on intervals for two years, until that final day, when they tied the knot.
As they say, the rest is history; the two are now an item.
Sharing their backgrounds as a cross-culture couple from two different countries was something that they both knew was going to be challenging but their differences are the same.
"We don't look at our lives as those of two different cultures we look at them as being united and being one. I fell in love with Zambia back in 2005 and knew that one day I would end up here not knowing Davies at the time," she said.
They have got an amazing future ahead. Children are on the card for sure.
Like any other couple, they have had some melting points.
Being a multi-cultural marriage they have had to reach a compromise as regards to their worldview.
For instance, months after they got married he had no job but Laura had one.
Every time, she would get paid, she would bring the money to him to make a budget but he resisted the idea.
He was not just comfortable making a budget on the money he had not earned.
It took her grandparents' 'intervention' to make him understand that they were one and so her money was his and his money was hers.
In the western culture, there is an aspect of shared responsibilities when it comes to cooking and cleaning.
Unlike in the African culture, the kitchen is not a preserve of the woman.
There is equal participation even in aspects such as laundry, shopping and everything else.
One her part, she had to and she is getting to cooking African dishes.
"The one thing that I've learnt since getting married is that life isn't perfect and you'll always have your ups and downs along the way but the important thing is to always stay true to yourself and your parents, always pray and seek God," she said.
As a couple, they have plans to come up with a children's ministry of helping the underprivileged. They have a heart for children.
The couple has moved from Tasmania to Melbourne. Often the couple takes bicycle rides together.
Once in a while, Davies with the help of local musicians, does music performances at various functions in Australia.
He is also pursuing his studies specialising in business and accounts and recently enrolled at Brendan Shaw College.
As for the future of DMK, he said marriage would not affect the existence of the group.
They have formed a company.
"I came to introduce Laura to the rest of my family and also do a album with the group," said the musician who plays guitar and piano.
After the project, he would join his wife in Melbourne.
The couple has plans in future of settling in Zambia.
For now, they are build ing their lives through education.
They are indeed a zebra couple.

Snapshot of Fiji´s Power Market, 2013 - Fiji´s power generation mix is dominated by hydro and oil-based power generation. In 2012, hydro power accounted for 55% and oil-based power generation accounted for 40% of the total power generation mix. The primary driver behind the growth of hydropower in Fiji is its cost-effectiveness due to the easily available and abundant resources. Other technologies used for power generation are biomass and wind. According to the latest energy policy, the government is aiming to increase the share of renewable energy to 81% by 2020. At present, the state-owned Fiji Electricity Authority (FEA) has a 100% share in power generation transmission and distribution sector of Fiji. It covers three major islands: Viti Levu, Vanua

Queen Elizabeth II Gossip
Queen Elizabeth II gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Hot Harry on a horse, with the children, and a fangirl
Wenn, Splash, Chris Jackson/ CARL COURT/ Getty
So much goodness going on in this set of photos... First of all, it's always good when Hot Harry is on a horse. And it's even better when Hot Harry spends time with the children. And it's hilarious when Hot Harry is in the presence of a fan girl who cannot handle his ginger sizzle. Full Story
The family supports Hot Harry
AFP/ Getty
Harry was busy yesterday. He and his brother visited with injured service personnel in Tidworth -- click here to see those photos if you missed them -- and then he was in London at the Chelsea Flower Show in support of his Sentebale charity's forget-me-not garden. Full Story
The Royal Bond Girl is honoured
WPA Pool/ Getty
There are more photos of this event to come in the next article but the Queen deserves her moment alone, don't you think? Especially when she's receiving an award for a change instead of handing one out. And an acting award at that! The Queen was presented an honourary BAFTA award yesterday for her support of British film and television but, really, let's be honest, it was for her performance as a Bond Girl at the Olympics. Full Story
Katy Cambridge's 3 out of 4
Danny E. Martindale/ AFP/ Getty, Keystone
Princess Catherine stepped out again today on official royal duty, her third appearance in four days, this time at the side of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at a visit to Baker Street underground station. Not that there was any doubt about it but this reaffirms, obviously, that Her Majesty is very fond of her granddaughter-in-law, and perhaps more so because she's (re)productive. Full Story
Katy Cambridge comes to the party
By helicopter. But first... How was 2012, Your Majesty? Mostly good, if not great, right? With the exception of that ginger grandson taking off his clothes in Vegas, this was a very strong year for the Queen, and a wonderful follow-up to 2011 when Prince William married his Catherine as a prelude to her Diamond Jubilee. Full Story
Commander Kate
WPA Pool/ Getty, Keystone
Kate Winslet was made a Commander of the British Empire today in London at an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace with the Queen. Let's Photo Assume Her Majesty: Her Majesty seems fond of Ms Winslet, non? Good welcoming body language, leaning towards her subject, not grimacing as she's pinning her. Full Story
Let Harry be with the children
Wenn, Hannah Johnston/ Jeff J Mitchell/ Getty
Prince Harry stepped out in public for the first time since his Vegas adventures a couple of weeks ago - at the WellChild Awards last night in London and at the Paralympics today (more on this later) but not before the UK tabloids printed an interview with a woman, Carrie Reichart, who claims she was one of the people randomly selected to go up to his suite. Full Story
The Royal Seating Plan at the Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony
Chris Jackson/Getty
If you are able to, definitely check out the Opening Ceremony for the Paralympics. I've been streaming it for the last couple of hours. It's goose pimply and fist pumpy and it would make most people cry, but not Her Majesty of course because this is not how we express emotion in public, is it? The Queen was in attendance tonight. Full Story
Harry's day of reckoning
Hot Harry who was caught on camera cavorting nude in Las Vegas has returned to London. As I first reported yesterday - click here for a refresher - the heat is now on his protection officers for completely cocking up the assignment. Again, it's not that they could have corrected or prevented the behaviour but that they failed to conceal it. Full Story
Olympic Countdown!
WPA Pool/Getty
Very, very soon...you ready? The London Games Opening Ceremony is happening in a few minutes and the Queen is supposed to be present. But first she had to host a party at her house. Here's Her Majesty at a reception for Heads of State and Government this afternoon, including Michelle Obama. Full Story
The Cambridges are also the Strathearns
Chris Jackson/Getty
Prince William was made Knight of the Thistle in Edinburgh. In Scotland then, he and his Catherine will be known as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn. She had a plaid scarf with her to mark the occasion. The Queen and Prince Philip were also there, along with Princess Anne, except today they keep calling her the Princess Royal which, obviously, is her proper style except it's a mystery to cultural pigs like me why they seemingly arbitrarily use one and not the other and vice versa and when. Full Story
William, Catherine, and no nude heels
Bauer, WeirPhotos/Splash, Chris Jackson/Getty
The Queen was accompanied by her grandchildren today in Nottingham while Prince Philip continues to recover. Prince William and his Catherine coordinated their clothes. But, as you can see, this time Kate decided to go with a pair of black pumps instead of her usual nude ones. The British tabloids were bitching all last week about how often she wears them. Full Story
The Queen & Her (only) Heirs
Getty, FameFlynet
All I remember reading in advance about the balcony appearance and flypast was that the Queen would be accompanied by "senior members of the Royal Family". Senior means only the Waleses? There's always something new to learn, see? Just Charles with his wife and children, the heir and the heir's heir and his spare. Full Story
The Rise Of Camilla and the Family Wales
Matt Cardy/Jeff J Mitchell/Getty
Obviously this is not the portrait we expected in 1981 looking ahead 30 years. And those of you loyal to Diana would say that it disgusts you to see this woman who caused Diana so much grief be embraced the way she's been, so much so that she was invited today to sit next to the Queen in the carriage.

| School of Forestry ranks high in faculty productivity
Northern Arizona University's School of Forestry is ranked No. 10 among forestry programs nationally in an index measuring faculty scholarly output.
The Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index ranked programs offering doctoral degrees at more than 350 universities and in 173 academic disciplines, based on the number of books and journal articles they published, journal citations, awards, honors and grants received.
"NAU's School of Forestry has many truly outstanding researchers—people who are among the best scientists in their respective fields," said Jim Allen, the school's interim executive director. "These faculty all publish regularly in the top journals in their field and have had their research widely cited by others."
In turn, Allen added, the school attracts outstanding graduate students, many of whom publish papers with their professors even before graduating, helping to boost the overall productivity of the school.
Allen also pointed to several campuswide collaborations that help enhance faculty productivity. The Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station has a unit co-located in the Southwest Forest Science Complex, and the Ecological Restoration Institute is also housed in the complex. Both help supply funding for research and frequently co-author papers with forestry faculty. Collaborations with faculty colleagues in academic departments across campus also contribute to the school's scholarly output.
The Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index is funded, in part, by the State University of New York at Stony Brook and produced by the for-profit Academic Analytics.

So, it's perfect, right? Obviously, those passes took care of every little missed word or typo. That's why we do these passes, so everything is shiny, new, and error-free.
Or so you hope. If you're like me, this is the actual series of events:
- Write your manuscript.
- Obsessively edit it for months and months, not even letting your little sister or best friend take a peak.
- Edit some more.
- Finally let people read the book! Or, pieces of the book, anyway.
- Edit a bit more.
- Decide to enter a prestigious contest that you've always dreamed of winning!
- Edit the book some more.
- Read the book out loud to yourself, just in case the ridiculous editing didn't work.
- Enter the contest, smug in the knowledge that after your crazed, excessive amounts of editing your pages are perfect.
- Send the manuscript off to an agent whom you respect & admire. An agent who you would absolutely kill to work with, as long as the person whom you did in were really, really bad. An agent who has, miraculously, shown an interest in your work and whom you are very nervous about disillusioning.
- Twiddle your fingers.
- Decide to look over the manuscript one last time.
- Find out that you: Forgot to change the name of a Very Important Thing in Chapter One, were fooled by automatic word replacement into committing a typo (Are, instead of at? Really Word?), Forgot to change the name of Another Very Important Thing in Chapter Three.
*try to resist e-mailing amazing agent with slightly revised copy, w/o the errors*
*die in fiery explosion of embarrassment*

This beauty has brains! :)
Not on here for a simple hook up. I have been on this site for a little while and have had minimal luck. I've met some great and horrible people. I am looking for that true person who is caring, fun, and loves life! I love to try new things and meet new people. So, is there anybody out there who is interested in going sky diving? Haha! The thrill...you gotta love it! A little about myself? Ok. I am grateful to have my career and my home, as I have worked extremely hard to get where I am. I have two boys (my oldest is 7 and my youngest passed away 4 years ago). I have accomplished many things in my 30 years of life (yes, 30!), and I hope to meet someone who would encourage me to continue reaching for the stars. I practice what I preach, I respectfully speak my mind, I respect others for who they are, and I treat others they way I would like to be treated. Most importantly, I have a big heart and I care a lot for others. I hope to meet someone who has similar values as me. Why am I on this site? I have not found the right man to come sweep me off my feet. Ha! Do those men exist? A man with a sense of humor, fun, loving, affectionate, etc? Are you out there? Someone who is not afraid to call or text the day after a date. I was raised with traditional values and refuse to chase after an uninterested man. Words of advice: show some interest if you really are interested. With that said, please understand what a TURN OFF is to me: People who talk about themselves all the time. People who talk about money or brag about the materialistic things they have. People who degrade or judge others. People who are not willing hold up their end of a deal. Bad spellers and immaturity. If you are still reading to this part of my profile, I must have kept your attention OR you just skipped over every important detail! Right? Well, my profile will be deactivated soon, therefore speak now or forever hold your peace! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsHow To Engine
2006 Ford Mustang GT Comp Cams Three Valve Blower Camshaft
We Find 85 HP With A Set Of Comp Cams Three-Valve Blower Camshafts.
Choosing the right cam for a supercharged 4.6L Three-Valve motor is no different than choosing one for any other motor-or is it? Right off the bat, the Three-Valve motor has that odd cylinder-head configuration, with a pair of intake valves and a single exhaust valve. The ratio of intake-to-exhaust flow obviously has an effect on the ideal cam profile, which means that picking a cam for a Three-Valve is not the same as picking one for other head configurations.
Naturally, the intake flow will be considerably higher with a pair of intake valves compared to just a single valve. Add the presence of boost pressure and things really get crazy. Does positive pressure alter the cam requirements on a Three-Valve, or will just any old cam profile work? Obviously the former is more accurate than the latter, but just what constitutes a good Three-Valve blower cam?
To answer that question, we put a pair of profiles from Comp Cams to the test on a supercharged Three-Valve. Not just your run-of-the-mill blower motor, mind you, but a serious stroker effort making manly boost levels.
The test motor, or more accurately, the test Mustang, belongs to ST Motorsports. The Kenne Bell-supercharged '06 GT itself is worthy of a story, having already ripped off a 9.79 at 140 mph, with an automatic no less. Putting things into perspective, this run was made with the motor producing roughly 750 hp at the wheels-some 170 less than its current output (after our cam test), but more on that figure in a moment.
Even without the Kenne Bell, the GT was far from stock. Thanks to a bore and stroke combination of 3.72x3.80 inches, the stroker displaced 331 ci and was topped with Stage 3 ported heads from Livernois Motorsports. The short-block consisted of a forged steel crank, Manley forged connecting rods, and Diamond forged pistons. The Diamond pistons featured a dish to drop static compression to 9.2:1. Also present was a set of 13/4-inch long-tube headers from American Racing Headers, a Milodon oil pan, and a Precision Industries torque converter with a triple-plate lockup clutch that was hooked to an ST-built 4R70W.
The 331 was built with boost in mind-in this case, from a Kenne Bell 2.8L twin-screw. Capable of supporting 1,000 hp, the H-series blower featured a huge 4.5-inch intake tube and MAF assembly, combined with a Mammoth intake manifold and dual 75mm throttle body. Inlet restrictions reduce both the power and boost produced by the supercharger, so every effort must be made to maximize airflow to the supercharger.
Additional features included an oversized, trunk-mounted intercooler reservoir. Filled with ice water, this reservoir maximizes efficiency of the air-to-water intercooler. The fuel system on the GT was upgraded with a GT500 dual-pump fuel system along with 80-lb/hr injectors and a dual 20V Boost-a-Pump from Kenne Bell. Note that this power level was achieved with a stock fuel rail!
The Three-Valve was first tested with the Stage 1 NSR (no spring upgrade required) cams (PN 127050) from Comp. The Stage 1 NSR cams offered 0.450 lift, a 214/227 duration split and a seemingly blower-friendly 14-degree lobe separation angle. Testing has shown these cams offer 20-25 hp over the production cams, and work well on both normally aspirated and supercharged street combinations. All testing was run with the Kenne Bell blower, sporting a 3.0-inch blower pulley combined with an 8-inch crank pulley from Innovators West. The timing and air/fuel mixture were locked at 23 degrees and 11.8:1, respectively, while the coolant and intercooler water were kept constant through data logging. In short, every effort was made to keep any variables consistent for all testing.
Running the Stage 1 NSR cams, the supercharged Three-Valve produced 751 hp and 685 lb-ft of torque on the DynoJet. These are stout numbers, especially for one running through an automatic.

"Directed by Robert Currier with plenty of comic sass….The cast is first-rate, sinking its collective teeth into Ives' outrageous rhymes and ridiculous wordplay with a joy matched only by the script itself. As Alcippe, Clarice's sensitive but prone-to-anger fiancé, James Hiser is a stitch, managing to make his snarling reactions both pathetic and endearing. Natasha Noel, as identical twin servants to Clarece and Lucrece, is a delight, as is Jarion Monroe as Dorante's loving but clueless father."
- David Templeton, North Bay Bohemian
"It's ingenious, and the audience loves it….The dialog is astoundingly facile and the humor sharp and quick. The actors did a herculean job remembering their lines, as there is no faking the words to the verse, particularly when an entering actor finishes the rhyme. It's ingenious, and the audience loves it. The lead rogue is admirably handled by Darren Bridgett, an inventive and endearing actor who never loses a beat."

Miner Institute
Farm Report
Clinical hypocalcemia, also known as milk fever, in fresh cows is an economically important metabolic disorder that increases the risk of mastitis, retained placenta, displaced abomasum, and ketosis, which affects lactational performance. The incidence of clinical hypocalcemia in the U.S. ranges between 4-7% and can be reduced with proper nutritional management. Until recently the prevalence of subclinical hypocalcemia in fresh cows was unknown. Blood was collected from 1462 cows (480 herds in 21 states) within 48 hours of calving and analyzed for calcium. Surprisingly, 47% of cows had subclinical hypocalcemia, which was defined as serum calcium < 2.0 mM or < 8 mg/dL. Cows did not have clinical signs of milk fever. Subclinical hypocalcemia increased with age and was present in 25%, 41%, 49%, 51%, 54% and 42% of 1st through 6th lactation cows, respectively. The normal homeostatic response to hypocalcemia may have limits with a cow's age and may contribute to greater or prolonged hypocalcemia in older cows.
Subclinical hypocalcemia should be viewed as a threat to transition cow health! Blood calcium is important for several physiological and immune functions. Hypocalcemia reduces the ability of immune cells to respond to stimuli and contributes to infections, like mastitis and metritis. Also, hypocalcemia reduces smooth muscle contraction which reduces rumen, abomasal, and intestine motility leading to displaced abomasum and lower feed intake. In a recent study in Florida, researchers found that cows with subclinical hypocalcemia, as defined by a serum calcium ≤ 8.59 mg/dL between 0 and 3 days in milk, had reduced concentrations of neutrophils in blood, impaired neutrophil function, and increased incidence of metritis (78 vs. 20%) compared to cows with normal calcium concentrations. Subclinical hypocalcemia also increased lipid mobilization and therefore concentrations of NEFA (705 vs. 427 uM) and BHBA (9.9 vs. 7.7 mg/dL) in blood during the first 12 days in milk.
Identification of cows with subclinical hypocalcemia is impractical because the cows do not display obvious clinical signs. At Miner Institute we have been measuring blood calcium of fresh cows within 12 hours of calving for several years now, and treat cows with subclinical hypocalcemia. However, most herds do not have equipment for real-time calcium analysis, so prevention is the only option for managing subclinical hypocalcemia. In a recent Wisconsin study using two commercial herds with effective programs of feeding anionic salts, supplementing 2nd or greater lactation cows with two oral calcium boluses (1st bolus at 0 to 2 h and a 2nd bolus at 8 to 35 h after calving) neither harmed nor benefited early-lactation health or milk yield. However, lame cows supplemented with oral calcium boluses averaged 0.34 fewer health events in the 1st 30 days in milk compared with lame cows that were not supplemented with oral calcium boluses. Also, cows with a higher previous lactation mature-equivalent milk production (> 105% of herd rank) and supplemented with oral calcium boluses produced six pounds more milk at the first test than similar high-producing cows that were not supplemented. It appears that supplementing targeted subpopulations with oral calcium may be beneficial for herds with a low incidence of milk fever.
