KFI's Internal Shuffling "Replaces" Limbaugh. Rather than bringing in another host to cover the gaping hole left by Rush Limbaugh, it looks like Clear Channel, Los Angeles talker KFI will adjust the times of some of its existing personalities. Morning talent Bill Handel will apparently get to sleep an extra hour, as he will handle 6:00 am – 10:00 am duties (from 5:00 am – 9:00 am), while Bill Carroll will adjust to 10:00 am – 2:00 pm from 12:00 noon – 3:00pm. In place of their 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm shift, afternoon drivers John & Ken will extend one more hour to 7:00 pm. Tim Conway Jr. remains at 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm, with syndicated talent George Noory following until 5:00 am. As of today, Gary Hoffmann debuts the 5:00 am – 6:00 am "Wake-up Call." These moves are necessitated owing to Limbaugh transitioning from powerhouse KFI to co-owned, newly re-branded KEIB "The Patriot" (formerly KTLK-AM).
Gann Going to San Antonio as WOAI – KTKR PD. Brian Gann is leaving Journal Broadcast Group Tulsa to program Clear Channel San Antonio news/talk WOAI and sports KTKR "The Ticket." According to president and market manager Marlene Trevino, "We are very fortunate to have Brian join our team in San Antonio. He brings a wealth of experience to WOAI and KTKR and we look forward to the bright future ahead under his leadership." Gann comments, "I am excited to have the opportunity to help lead WOAI and 'The Ticket.' There is a terrific team in place there and I am honored to be able to join them." While in Tulsa, Gann was operations manager of adult hits KBEZ "Bob FM," KFAQ "Tulsa's Talk Radio," CHR KHTT "K-Hits," KVOO "Today's Country Variety," and classic country KXBL "Big Country." He starts his San Antonio assignment in one week (1/30).
Mark Arum Gets Nightly Show at WSB, Atlanta. Traffic reporter Mark Arum is taking over the 10:00 pm to 12:00 midnight daily show at Cox Media Atlanta's news/talk WSB after handling weekend and fill-in roles at the station. This new gig comes in addition to his traffic reporter roles at WSB-TV, news/talk WSB-AM and hot AC WSB-FM "B98.5." As reported by the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Rodney Ho, Arum replaces Adam Goldfein who exited the late show role at the end of 2013 for personal reasons. Arum tells Ho that he's been wanting a daily show since his arrival at WSB in 1997. Cox Media did give him a chance to host a daily show at its Stamford and Norwalk, Connecticut stations back in 2008 and he says it provided "invaluable experience."
Learfield's Worsham, Boman, Heim Elevated to Senior Positions. Missouri-based Learfield Communications promotes Aaron Worsham, Tom Boman, and Jennifer Heim. Worsham advances from vice president to senior vice president of affiliate relations and operations; broadcast manager Boman is boosted to vice president of broadcast operations; and corporate controller Heim becomes vice president/corporate controller. Worsham and Boman manage the company's sports operations division, which oversees all aspects related to broadcast talent and station relationships for Learfield Sports' radio networks as part of its multimedia rights partnerships with university athletic programs. Senior vice president/chief content officer Joe Ferreira comments, "Aaron and Tom have exhibited outstanding leadership and execution skills throughout their tenure at Learfield Sports and have taken our industry-leading audio business to great heights. Producing and managing thousands of broadcasts annually for our 50-plus networks, key flagship and affiliate partners and digital distribution networks is a daunting task. These well-deserved promotions reflect growth and success in all areas." Meanwhile, chief financial officer Matt Hupfeld states, "Jennifer is a true professional who has proven to be an excellent asset to Learfield. She is well deserving of assuming the vice president role and we know she will continue to do an outstanding job." Worsham has been with Learfield since 1999.

CPA Heim's background includes being a financial manager for Brookstone and a senior auditor for several companies.
Michael Smerconish to Publish First Novel About Conservative Talk Show Host. The book is titled, Talk (Cider Mill Press 2014) and is due out in May. But as Michael Smerconish tells the Washington Post, "My highest purpose is to entertain…a lot of it is fake." Still, readers of the book about a fictional conservative talk host from Florida who finds himself in the thick of a hotly contested presidential race, will probably find a lot of what transpires culled from the reality of the talk radio business in which Michael Smerconish has dwelt during his career. Now working at SiriusXM after years on AM/FM radio, Smerconish ruffled some feathers when he left for satellite radio saying, in effect, he felt the requirement talk hosts on AM/FM be easily pigeonholed was holding him, and the industry, back. Previews of the book indicate that while this is fiction, Smerconish just may be taking a few shots at the facet of the industry he left behind as he tells his story.
Opinion: Hang On A Minute, Bill. Weighing in on the Bill O'Reilly's recent "promotion" for Pandora, TALKERS managing editor Mike Kinosian observes: "On the positive side, Bill O'Reilly last week let known his partisanship for one particular iconic American vocal group on his Fox News Channel television program. Conversely, terrestrial music radio programmers just might remember certain comments he made should O'Reilly ever look to them to plug his next book or project on that platform. In an approximately 45-second "Tip of the Day" segment, the "O'Reilly Factor" host gave a thumbs-up to Pandora over terrestrial radio. "Do you like music," he queried. "I do [and] there are plenty of free ways to get it. The easiest way is to turn on the radio." So far, so good. Then O'Reilly said, "The problem with the radio is that for every good song there are three bad songs. So, you can hear [good songs] like The Beach Boys' 'Help Me Rhonda,' [and] 'Fun, Fun, Fun.' [Those are] good songs, but then you'll hear 'Hang on Sloopy' – painful." Off-camera laughter was audible as O'Reilly winced at the thought of The McCoys' song. His advice was to have his audience "check out" Pandora.com's free website. In amazement, he remarked about the logistics of typing "the song you like and you get the song played to you. Then, you get other songs similar to it [so] you are basically creating your own radio station. Let me know what you think." After having mentioned Pandora by name three times in under one minute, O'Reilly insisted he "had no interest in that website at all." His motive was to tell his audience because, "I like you." Not to nitpick the host, but his mention of "Help Me Rhonda" and "Fun, Fun, Fun" sounded like one run-on title, especially since he said, "That is a good song." Moreover, he was only able to cite one "painful" tune, compared to two good ones. Whether or not by coincidence, the three specific titles O'Reilly mentioned were from the mid-1960s. We wonder if he has heard of YouTube yet.

TALKERS Preparing 2013 Frontier Fifty for Publication this Summer. The editorial board of TALKERS announces the long-awaited 2013 installment of the publication's popular annual feature, "The Frontier Fifty," will be reappearing after almost a year lay off with a number of new innovations and features. TALKERS VP/executive editor Kevin Casey states, "We have renovated a number of the systems and basic formatting of this feature because it reflects an area of talk media that is undergoing the most rapid change. That is why there had been no new 'Frontier Fifty' in 2012. The Frontier Fifty was originally designed as a showcase for 50 interesting and outstanding internet talk radio hosts reflective of the diversity of styles and formats available on the internet – from long-form streaming shows to podcasts, from the traditional telephone talk/guest interview fare to the outrageous." TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison adds, "Since we began this project, internet talk radio has exploded into a gigantic universe of literally thousands of individual performers, shows, networks, and concepts. We needed to step back and do justice to this, or not do it at all. The new incarnation of The Frontier Fifty will be based on a ranked listing of the '50 Most Important Individuals Making A Difference in the Development and Growth of Internet Talk Radio' as opposed to just being hosts of programs. It will now include entrepreneurs and internet impresarios as well as individual hosts – people who are making a difference." Readers can expect to see the 2013 installment of The Frontier Fifty posted mid-to-late summer and are invited to send suggestions and "nominations" for individuals to be considered for inclusion to firstname.lastname@example.com.

New Rules for Email. Radio consultant and TALKERS columnist Holland Cooke writes that "With enabling technology evolving so rapidly, technique is critical. With new-tech comes a new etiquette; or, too often, a lack thereof. You prove it every time you check your email. I'll bet you delete without reading more messages than you read." Holland advises that to be as effective as possible in business when using email, be sure to consider what you're typing in the subject line, when to send more than one email and when not to email at all.

Nationally Syndicated Radio Personality Andy Greenberg Publishes New Book.

Now, Greenberg and co-author Marian Shalander Kaiser have published a book called Your High (Tate Publishing 2013) based on Greenberg's broadcasts. Promotional material for the book states, "The book takes Greenberg's loveable radio antics and puts them in easy-to-understand vignettes. Every idea is new and unique, yet familiar. Each vignette opens with a situation to which everyone can relate. It then transitions to a motivational technique that is easy to understand and implement. According to the authors, life doesn't have to be hard; individuals just have to look at it a little differently. Your High uses the popular style of Greenberg's radio personality to show readers how to be successful in business, life, and everything in between."

Acquiring Arbitron Adds to the Total Media Mix for Nielsen. At day two of the Deutsche Bank DbAccess 21st Annual Media and Telecom Conference, Nielsen president of Global Media Products & Advertiser Solutions Steve Hasker says that the acquisition of Arbitron will add another two hours per day to its understanding of the media to which consumers are exposed. "If you think about media consumption here in the U.S. as one geographic example, we cover about five hours per day for the average consumer through television audience measurement…That is the bedrock of our 'Watch' business. To that, we hope to add radio, which is another two hours of consumers' time. And we felt that this was a very important part, both of understanding the media exposure and what consumers watch and what they listen to, but also a very important part of the overall media mix particularly for local advertisers. And so the ability to capture this data and combine it with our TV data and our digital information, which is online and mobile through products like 'Online Campaign Ratings,' 'Brand Effect' and the 'Nielsen Twitter TV Ratings,' put it all together and we're covering around about eight hours of a consumer's time per day exposed to media…think about that as coverage of everything except for print and we think that those are the most valuable parts of the media mix and are central to our proposition of understanding consumer behavior at a very, very deep level."

Everyone knows this is a great sports town, but it's also a great broadcasting city. When this started, we would have been really happy with any of the final eight – and most of the rest of the sixteen finalists. In Brett, we think we have found exactly what this competition was designed to find – a host that is really good today, will be better down the road, and someone we would not have found otherwise. I fully anticipate doing this again. It was fun for the contestants and for us. Not only did we find a solid host, we found several who might end up working for 101ESPN one day."

After Resignation, Questions Linger Over New Prime Minister
By Racha Haffar | Feb 20 2013Ennahdha ,Ghannouchi ,Jebali ,resignation ,tnAc ,
After Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali submitted his resignation to President Moncef Marzouki last night, speculations are swirling regarding who will lead the country.
Members of Jebali's ruling party, Ennahdha, have stated they would continue to support him as prime minister if he agrees to hold the position. Yet Jebali's resignation was prompted by his failure to garner support from his own party and others to form a new technocratic government after the February 6 assassination of opposition leader Chokri Belaid.
"We are still holding on to him as the prime minister, but in case he refuses to remain in his position, we can find an alternative," said Sahbi Attig, leader of the Ennahdha bloc in the National Constituent Assembly (NCA).
Farida Labidi, a member of Ennahdha in the NCA, said that the party still does not have a clear vision of what will happen next, but it is committed to keeping dialogue open between the party and Jebali.
"We hold the utmost respect for Mr. Jebali," she said. "But if we don't reach any consensus concerning his new terms with our (political allies), we will have to nominate someone else in his place in case he maintains his resignation."
According to Zoubeir Chehoudi, a member of Ennahdha's Shura Council, Jebali remains the party's first choice for prime minister.
But Jebali's adviser, Abou Yaareb Marzouki, said that Jebali will not change his mind about his decision to resign. Marzouki claimed that Ennahdha will not be able to meet Jebali's conditions, which included setting a specific date for general elections and avoiding political tension.
"Jebali is now playing his credibility card, and cannot jeopardize that, as he made clear last night," Marzouki said. "He will not accept any compromise concerning his decisions."
President Moncef Marzouki is expected to meet with Ennahdha founder Rached Ghannouchi this afternoon to discuss the current political situation.

GI in 1981
DC/Dischord hardcore legends Government Issue reunited for their first show in 21 years in DC in 2010 (a benefit show), and have since played other shows like DC in 2012 (a 'Salad Days' celebration), DC in 2014 (Damaged City fest), and Houston and Baltimore earlier this year. And now they're finally going to play NYC!
The band will hit Brooklyn's Acheron on July 18 with Blockhead and Agitator. Tickets go on sale Friday (5/15) at noon.
We're not positive what the lineup for this show will be, but stay tuned for that as well. Vocalist John Stabb was the only constant member. The 2010 reunion included bassist J. Robbins (who achieved a lot more success post-GI with Jawbox, Burning Airlines, and as a producer for several bands), but he wasn't with them at the 2014 show. There was also a 2007 one-off billed as "Government Re-Issue" which included onetime guitarist Brian Baker (also of Minor Threat, Dag Nasty and Bad Religion).
UPDATE: The band's current lineup is John Stabb (vocals), John Barry (guitar), Dwayne Bruner (bass), and Karl Hill (drums). They also play Pittsburgh's Skull Fest in August.
Watch a full set video of GI playing Maxwell's in Hoboken in 1988, below...

Government Issue was an American hardcore punk band from Washington, D.C. active from 1980 to 1989. The band experienced many changes in membership during its nine-year existence, with singer John Stabb as the only consistent member in an ever-fluctuating lineup that at various times included notable musicians Brian Baker, Mike Fellows, Steve Hansgen, J. Robbins, and Peter Moffett. Government Issue originated from the Washington, D.C. hardcore scene but added elements of heavy metal, New Wave, and psychedelic rock on later records. Though this has caused the band to be sometimes overlooked in relation to other Washington, D.C. hardcore acts, their stylistic diversity made them influential to later punk rock groups. -[Wiki]Government Issue will reunite for a single show in DC at The Black Cat on December 11th with The Goons and Set To Explode, their first show in 21 years. The band, which will feature John Stabb, J. Robbins, Tom Lyle, and Pete Moffett, will play the venue as part of a benefit for DJ Stereo Faith (aka Steven McPherson of the defunct DC band Brace), a local DJ who is recovering from removal of a tumor from his auditory canal. Tickets are on sale. If you can't make it to the show, you can paypal donations for Steven McPherson to keepingthestereofaith (AT) gmail DOT com.

NEW BRITAIN — A male victim was seriously injured during a disturbance Thursday night, police said.
He sustained facial injuries during the assault, which happened about 7:45 p.m. outside 176 Glen St., police said.
"We do not believe it's a random assault," Chief James Wardwell said Friday afternoon. Asked if police believe the assault was drug-related, he said, "We're exploring that possibility."

English Australian actress Naomi Watts has had a steady stream of noteworthy films from Mulholland Drive to The Ring to 21 Grams to King Kong to Eastern Promises to The International to You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. Now the 42 year-old is about to fill the shoes of Valerie Plame in the new political thriller Fair Game, which tells the outed CIA agent's story for the first time on film.
In the film, Joseph Wilson inadvertently causes his wife Plame to become a target of then-Vice-President Dick Cheney and have her secret CIA agent occupation be revealed to the media after an op-ed piece he wrote for the New York Times raised doubts about the rationale for the Bush Administration's controversial invasion of Iraq. Playing Wilson is Sean Penn and Watts was asked how she enjoyed working with at-times-controversial actor.
"Brilliant, as always," Naomi says, "We've done it a few times. He's also one of the best actors in the world, living or dead."
Naomi talked about the challenge of playing someone who has now become a historical figure in American politics that is still living.
"I think when you play someone who is a true, living person it definitely ups the ante and the pressure is tenfold," she believes, "Everyone in America is familiar with this story, so I felt an extra amount of pressure that I wanted to tell it as truthfully as I could. And the fact that Valerie was not only alive but very involved closely, she was acting as one of our CIA consultants, she was on the set frequently as the BS barometer and saying, 'This is how this scene would work,' or 'We wouldn't have those signs there,' or 'You wouldn't address someone like that.' She was very hands on. It's not every day as an actor that you get to meet a person like this. She's someone who's truly impressive to me so I was nervous. It felt like a big undertaking, and because of her injustice, because of that level of betrayal, it was deeply important for me to somehow serve her story in the best possible way."
"Our relationship was formed in a very quick and small amount of time," Watts continues, "Basically, I had a baby on December 13, I read the script on December 28, and we were filming in February. We did like a little mini shoot to catch the end of winter in February. So it was so little time, and so many facts. Obviously, we knew the story, but it was told through the media in a fragmented way. It was about piecemealing it together and then sort of letting go of the facts and concentrating on the character and really learning her story. Who was this woman and how did she deal with this betrayal? How did her marriage, her family function; how did her lifestyle change; who did she become? It would be so easy to assume that any of us would either avoid the fight altogether or come undone, and she did neither. And then with Sean, he actually went to Santa Fe and stayed with them for a couple of days. I couldn't do that; I was nursing a child."
Watts was asked whether her just becoming a mother for a second time created conflict at all with playing Valerie Plame.
"Yeah, [director] Doug [Liman] sent me off," Naomi acknowledges, "He was like, 'No, you're too soft and maternal. You're going to boot camp.' I did some paramilitary training for three days. That was intense. I was allowed to have my baby every few hours to feed him while I was armed with a weapon."
"Yeah, and as [Doug] walked out they sort of kicked me in the shins and threw me to the ground and I went, 'Ow!' and he said, "OK. Don't say ow again unless you need to go to the hospital,'" she continues, "I was like, 'OK.' So it was intense and I did incredible things that I'll never get to do, or wish to do actually for that matter, again, like setting of explosives, ramming cars without a seatbelt or a helmet."
Naomi talks about how she learned of how Valerie Plame managed to maintain her dignity and stay strong through reliving her ordeal.
"Well, I think the thing about Valerie is that if you meet her you learn very quickly that she's not someone who wears her heart on her sleeve," she believes, "She's not an emotionally driven person. She was a brilliant covert agent and that is who she is to this day. She's very controlled and reserved and quiet and warm, but you don't get her all at once and she's not easy to read."
"Yes, at times in playing this character it was difficult for me to wrap my head around that because I would handle it very differently than someone like her," Watts adds, "But that's who she is, that's who she is through and through and she talks about it in the movie. Nothing ever broke her. She's the one person in her training class that got through. She's not a victim or a martyr. She absorbs things slowly and learns how to deal with them in her own way."
Watts also talks about how she related to Plame as someone who divides her time between a very demanding career and being a mother.
"Yeah, I had the utmost respect for her because of that and how she managed with twins and traveling all kinds of places all over the world and outrageous hours week in and week out," she says, "My job can be like that but then there are also incredible breaks. So I talked to her a lot about that, how she managed to be a professional and a mother and be really good at it. In fact, that was one of the things I learned about her just recently because I'd never really got to see her with her kids, but obviously I heard her talk about them endlessly."
"But when she came into my hotel in Cannes and how she related to my children, it was very clear in an instant that she is a natural mother, because my kids don't really pay attention to people unless they're holding some great, fantastic toy or something," Naomi says, "So that balance was interesting to me, how she managed that, and definitely something that I can relate to."
Naomi was asked about how she and her husband Liev Schrieber both prepared to play CIA figures at the same time, with Schrieber playing a CIA supervisor in the Angelina Jolie thriller Salt.
"It was very funny and very strange to have first of all, two of us shooting at the same time, that's the first time it ever happened with us, and second of all, that we were both playing spies," Watts says of it, "But they couldn't really have been more different; one was the classic spy story and one was based in truth and facts."
"So we were laughing about it," she adds, "There were a lot of moments where we shared our research and watched documentaries on the CIA and compared notes, and I was talking about NOC. It was quite funny and unusual and good timing in a way, because he helped me and I helped him.
Watts was asked how familiar she was with Plame's story before reading the script and how she reacted to it after reading the script for Fair Game.
"Like I said before, I was familiar with the story and was not following it as avidly as I wished I had at the time had I known this was going to be going on," she says, "But I was interested in it, and then it sort of just went away after the Libby trial. The next thing was getting that email from Jez Butterworth, who's an old friend, and I said 'Listen, I just had a baby, I don't think I'm going to read a script for a while,' and he went, 'Well, this is about Valerie Plame Wilson and Joe and their story. Just read the first 10 pages.'
"Of course he was very smart, as he always is, because you couldn't just read 10 pages of the script," Naomi continues, "It all came back to me but there was obviously a lot more information that I discovered, and again, didn't know quite the level of responsibility in her position. Then I read her book, which the script is based on, and went into more research, and then meeting her. So I learned a lot kind of on the job, basically. But I did know the story before I got closer."
Naomi recalled the first experience of meeting the former CIA agent.
"Well, meeting her it took a while, because as I said, I'd just had the baby," she recalls, "We worked out that Santa Fe and New York door-to-door travel was 12 hours and it wasn't going to be an easy thing. I would have liked to be able to do what Sean did and just show up and hang out for a couple of days. Be inside their home and see how things functioned, but it just didn't happen. But what was funny, and when I realized I'm really talking to a spy was she said 'Well, okay. How about we meet halfway? Let's meet at Chicago airport.' And I'm I like, 'Who meets at an airport? Oh, a spy does.' But even that became hard to do, and eventually she came to New York and we had dinner."
"And again, like I said before, you don't get her all at once, so it takes time, and I'm kind of like that too," Watts continues, "I like to read a person before I give myself away or something; I don't know. She's obviously someone who that's her training. So we just were careful and easy with each other and we slowly went into it, and then finally it was like crunch time and I just presented her with a list of very confronting and personal questions. All the facts were available but really what I wanted to get into was her mindset and her psyche and how she dealt with this. And yeah, how she was almost kind of just unbelievably consistent and strong. I wanted to learn about who that person was and how she managed to function in every part of her life."
Watts was asked whether or not Plame spoke about how she had to live a double life as both a mother and a CIA agent.
"Well yeah," Naomi replies, "This is what the film is about. I think it's very strange how her life evolved. She never expected to be in the position of exposing her life story and having it turn up into a film. She loved her job, she loved what she did, and would have that back in a second if she could."
"Obviously deeply involved with a number of different families, assets, whatever, that she was emotionally attached to," she continues, "So it was really hard for her. This is why it felt like such a huge betrayal, and going into her job as a covert agent she expected, or there's risk of being exposed by another government, but to have it done to you by your own is such an injustice."
Finally, Naomi was asked if her children understood the double life she herself and her husband Liev Schrieber live as both actors and parents.
"Oh, they don't really understand it yet," Watts answers, "There have been times when they see a photo or a flash of us on tv or something and they'll go 'Oh! Mommy!' or 'Daddy!' And then we try to explain Daddy's got to go to work or Mommy's got to go to work now. 'But I want to come!' They can come to the set and they see you. They think our work is in a trailer, that's our office."
"And then, actually, I'm shooting a film right now called The Impossible which is another true story that we all know of based on the tsunami," she adds, "This one was quite difficult then coming to work for the first time because they saw Mommy in quite a bad condition. So I had to explain that these owies were just pretend, and it took a little while. We prepped it days in advance and then showed them how you can put a little bit of blood on and then you can rub it off, and now they like it too."

Daughters of the Republic of Texas Statement on Lawsuit Against Texas General Land Office and GLO Commissioner on DRT's Ownership of Library Collection
San Antonio – Today the Daughters of the Republic of Texas released the following statement in response to a lawsuit filed by the DRT against the Texas General Land Office and GLO Commissioner George P. Bush regarding the DRT's ownership of its library collection:
Lamont A. Jefferson, Haynes and Boone, LLP, legal counsel for the DRT:
"For months, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas attempted in good faith to resolve differences of opinion with the State over the ownership and management of the DRT's library collection. The recent actions by the State, which occurred suddenly and without the opportunity for meaningful dialogue, left the DRT with no alternative but to file this lawsuit.
"However, we hope that the suit will form the basis for a dialogue that leads to a just resolution for all involved, including the DRT and its donors and patrons."

Here is another build from last year. Instead of your usual nicely loaded car, I wanted to do something different: A plain Jane, plain vanilla, cheap (relative) base model C6. So I modified the kit for a base 2005 model.
Why would you do that? This could be either:
- A car you would buy to modify extensively either for racing or customizing (show car, aftermarket demonstrator etc)
- A dealer "bait" car to advertise "Brand new 2005 Corvettes starting at only $$$$"
- A car you die for but can not afford, so you go to extremes to get it
The important thing about this model is not what it has, but it does not:
-NO body colored door handles.
- No body colored 3rd brake lamp
- Base 1SX Ebony seats, NOT 1SA or 1SB sport seats.
- White paint. NOT extra cost paint like LeMans blue, Millenium Yellow or Magnetic red.
- NO 1SB Heads Up Display (HUD).
- NO F55 magnetic selective ride control option (knob behind shifter)
- No navigation system
- NO XM radio
- NO CC3 transparent optional roof. Just the regular painted one.
- Standard aluminum wheels. NOT QG7 polished or QX1 competition grey, or chrome.
- Standard brakes with NO upgraded rotors from Z51 suspension option.

Just the thought of a "cheap" C6 is making me smile! Vettes always look good in white to me. Very tasty in vanilla.........

New Zealand's crew searching for the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner say they are more determined than ever to find the 777 after it was revealed that the plane ended its journey in the southern Indian Ocean.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced on Tuesday that a new analysis of satellite data confirmed the plane had crashed in a remote part of the ocean, killing all 239 on board.
Blustery conditions in the southern Indian Ocean which saw the search and recovery mission called off yesterday have eased this morning, meaning searchers will again face the daunting task of combing a vast area of choppy seas for suspected wreckage from the plane.
The search area has now been reduced as a result of the new data to 1.6 million square kilometres (622,000 square miles), a massive expanse of ocean, but just 20% of the area that was previously being searched.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) have begun making their way to the search area, and RNZAF Pilot Flight Lieutenant Dave Smith says now that they know that there is definitely something to find in that area that motivates him more.
"We've got an emotional investment in this. We've been going at this for 105 flying hours just this crew alone and we're keen to keep on going," he told ONE News Australia Correspondent Steve Marshall. Marshall is on board the eleven hour round trip today and says they hope to return to base with clues as to what happened to the missing plane.

Steve Marshall (@SteveMarshallNZ)March 25, 2014
Flight Lieutenant Smith says the crew have huge empathy for the families of the passengers who were on board the 777.
Acting Chief of Air Force Air Commodore Mike Yardley told TV ONE's Breakfast there will still be reasonable high sea states today, but said the crew was confident they would still be able to conduct a thorough search. He said the crew will be swapped on Friday with a new crew.
Simon Martelli says it has been "very disappointing" and "hard" for the crew when they try to follow new leads and then return empty handed.
Australian and Chinese search planes spotted floating objects in an area 2,500 kilometres (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth on Sunday, but none was retrieved. Now, with the 24-hour delay in the search, those objects and other possible debris from the plane could drift to an even wider area.
"We're not searching for a needle in a haystack - we're still trying to define where the haystack is," Australia's Vice Chief of the Defence Force, Air Marshal Mark Binskin, told reporters at a military base in Perth as idled planes stood behind him.
Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said the data is still being analysed "to attempt to determine the final position of the aircraft" and that an international working group of satellite and aircraft performance experts had been set up.
Several countries have begun moving specialised equipment into the area to prepare for a search for the plane and its black boxes, the common name for the cockpit voice and data recorders, needed to help determine what happened to the jetliner.

In one week we'll be having the anniversary of the liberation of the space marines from the messy/ugly trademark debacle of last year. I want to celebrate, and I hope you will want to also! I have a few plans:
1. I'll be guest-skyping into a convention to talk for an hour on a panel about trademark.
2. I'll be putting Spots on sale!
3. I'll have some shiny new merchandise up!
4. I'll have links to other space marine stories and games, and;
5. I'll be donating money to one of my soldier charities.
I would love to see lots of people participate in Space Marine Liberation Day! I am planning to draw a badge for it (unless someone beats me to it first). And I'd love your suggestions on what else we can do to celebrate. Hit me with your thoughts!

I'd like to know if it's possible to File A Restraining Order against my new roommate? This woman that I hardly know and just briefly met a couple of days ago as she just paid rent for room next door to mine, unfortunantly for me as she does not mind her own affairs nor does she keep to herself and she does not work ... she claimed to have student loan funds and going to start school next week but is Harrasing me every day when I get home from work and she seems to have a psychotic behavior as today when I was sleeping in my room behind my locked door, I was awakened by her loud voice shouting my name over and over again???? I was so exhausted as I am security officer and need to be up at 4:00 am and on my Post at 7:00 am and she apparenly does not have to be anywhere ? Just a lot of time and apparently money to rent rooms and be all to concerned with me and my commings and goings.
The Police over the phone told me that I could file a Report because I told them that I wish to document these new circumstances as I fear they will continue and just ger worse!
I would like to know if you know or anyone out there and you especially mighty moose if I might be able to file a Restraining Order against her?
I know she is renting the room next to mine and that's why I am so alarmed and her behavior is eractic and bizarre.

You could seek to obtain a restraining order.
But, if she's mentally unstable, what makes you think she'd heed the order, or even understand it?
Restraining orders can do little to stop people from harassing you, annoying you, or even killing you.
People often feel safe initially, only to discover later, the restraining is often NOT worth the paper on which its printed.
You might have better luck bringing her annoying, loud, rude, obnoxious, and worrisome behavior to the attention of your landlord?
Your luck might get even better if you move!
The woman is obviously missing a card or two (maybe even a whole suit) in her deck.
Summer has arrived!

Yes indeed! You are right and I agree regarding restraining orders but what I had in mind is to have these circumstances DOCUMENTED by some Authorities such as this forum for one and the police and or a police report in an attempt to document the events as they unfold as I am indeed very aware of this sort of behavior and how it will only get worse until I move. I want to protect myself and have evidence and plan to purchase a tape recorder to prove that she is stalking me at home where unfortunauntly we both reside.
It help getting feedback and advise from others because when she screams at me as I'm entering or exiting my home it is a very scary and un-nerving feeling and I am just seeking valadation as to help calm my nerves.

About all you can do is fill out the affidavit, pay for the filing fee, and present it to a judge to see if something will happen. It will be a civil harassment order and will not likely compel the person to move out.
But, absent some reasonable threat of harm, the matter of an annoying roommate is an issue to take up with the landlord and not the courts.**********

You will have great difficulty getting a restraining order since you live in the same residence... and your reasons for obtaining one aren't quite at the level that an order would typically be issued.
Take it up with your landlord or move out. If your landlord understands the severity of the issue then the landlord might get rid of the roommate for you.

Its elegant form is emphasised by the vertical grooves and the inlaid decorations: white chrysanthemums which become smaller as they twist upwards until only small dots are visible. The bottle, made of very hard stoneware , was produced in Korea in de twelfth or thirteenth century. This was a period in which Korean culture flourished.

has anyone installed leaving water temperature reset on a York YCAS chillers? Want to reset water 44-55F based on outside air temperature.
no luck with York on this one.
Good Service isn't a commodity.
Any sale starts with a simple premise "how can you solve the problem better than everyone else"
Remote Setpoint Reset
The chilled liquid leaving temperature setpoint programmed
into the micro can be remotely adjusted to a
higher value using repeated timed closure of "dry" contacts
connected to Terminals 13 & 17 of TB4 in the
logic section of the control panel (See Section 9 [1.12]).
The duration of the contact closure will decide the
amount of adjustment. This is achieved as follows :
The maximum allowable reset value can be programmed
from 2ºF - 40ºF (1°C - 22°C), as appropriate to the application
- see Section 6.4. Once the maximum reset is
programmed, an input contact closure of 11 seconds
provides the maximum reset. Closure for less than 11
seconds will provide a smaller reset. For noise immunity,
the micro will ignore closures of less than 1 second.
To compute the necessary contact closure time to
provide a required Reset, use the following steps:
Reset Temp ={ (Contact Closure - 1sec) X Programmed Max Reset}
Offset 10 sec
For example, with a programmed setpoint of 44ºF (7°C),
after a 4 second pulse and a programmed maximum
offset of 40ºF (22°C), the temperature offset would
Reset Temp = (4 sec - 1 sec) X 40ºF
10 sec
Reset Temp = 120°F sec
10 sec
= 12ºF (6ºC)
Arguing with your Boss is like wrestling with a pig in
After a while you realize that while you are getting
dirty, the pig is actually enjoying it.
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it
creative problem solving.
25 years ago we had Bob Hope , Steve Jobs , and Johnny Cash today we have no Hope no Jobs and no Cash !
I can fix broke but i can't fix stupid !
thanks for the post. I will run this by tech to see. I was thinking that York would allow a remote BAS signal to interface with there chiller controlls. SO a simple 0-10 or 4-20MA signal would work? I will check your instructions. Thanks
If there is a Microgatway on that Chiller then that could be possible.
If the BAS is linked to the setpoint control point on the chiller panel you could reset the temperature remotely. I am not sure having such a high chilled water temperature would be ideal. I have typically seen a range of 44F-48F.
Also include a condenser water temperature reset in addition to the chilled water reset. Improves your efficiency. Use a outside air wet bulb temperature as a reset criteria
you can do pwm direct to the control board, or if it has the optional reset boards you can go voltage or current to the reset board which will do pwm to the control board.

Palaniswami, Rani (1999) Aluminium induced physiological and biochemical changes in freshwater fish Cyprinus carpio Var.Communis. PhD thesis, Bharathiar University.
Qualitative aspects of toxicology are important because they are fundamental to the safety evaluation process in which, one first determines the toxicologic profile of the substance and then establishes how the chemical can be employed safely to prevent injury (Plaa, 1982). According to Durham (1974), toxicity is the ability of a chemical molecule or compound to produce injury once it reaches susceptible site which is determined by the dosage. Cairns (1984) reported that from a regulatory point of view, toxicity tests are used for three major purposes; they are 1. screening of chemicals and products, ii. establishing limits and iii. monitoring; the author further stated that bioassay test can be used to establish the maximum acceptable concentration of a pollutant in a given environment without deliberate application of the chemical causing any unfavourable biological consequences.

Israel's Air Force bombed a weapons factory in Gaza after rockets launched from Gaza struck Israel.
The Israeli planes scored a direct hit in the early Tuesday morning raid, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
On Monday night the Color Red warning siren sounded in southern Israel near the border with Gaza before the rocket landed in an open area. No injuries or damage were reported.
The last rocket from Gaza that targeted Israel was on Aug. 31.
Some 145 rockets and 46 mortars were fired into Israel by Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip during the month of August, according to the IDF.
