Big Attitude Rules on the Water
By Capt. Ron Svoboda
Cockpit Features
Some other items that the two models share in common is the spacious 8 foot 6 inch beam and 24 foot, 7 inch length that makes for ultra comfy times on the water. The cockpit's seating runs all the way down the port side, across the back, then all the way down the starboard side and ends at the pilot seat. The seating space is phenomenal with room for up to 16 people. A small removable snack table can be inserted near the aft seats for lunch or sunset cocktails. Just aft of the helm seat is a self draining cooler that also illuminated for when the sun goes down. Both port and starboard sides of the boat have ingeniously designed coaming panels that are flush with the seat backs and house 10 drinkholders, grab handles and stereo speakers. Of course each seat conceals generous storage space under each of the cushions, while at the back, a stereo remote allows total control of your tunes.
The Tower
Above the cockpit is an aluminum piece of art that Malibu calls a wakeboard tower. This giant, cast aluminum structure is unlike anything else on the scene and can be painted and equipped with all sorts of different speaker and board rack options. When it's time to store the boat or tow to the next location, the tower neatly folds in behind the wraparound windshield by simply pulling two pins. The entire unit is counter balanced, making it possible for only one person to actuate and lower the tower.
Just below the tower is the helm and driver's seat that's focused on comfort and cutting-edge marine technology. It all starts with the pilot's ultra supportive bucket seat that includes a thick bolster pad and swivel/forward adjustment operation. The seat can also be equipped with heat for those chilly morning ski runs, something we found to be very handy.
Precision Pro Speed Control
The boat's understated dash panel displays analog gauges driven by digital inputs from the all-electronic engine controls. Centered in the billet aluminum dash panel is Malibu's Precision Pro Speed Control that comes as standard equipment on both the models. The Wakesetter gets the added benefit of the Ballast Monitoring System, this gives digital control over filling and dumping water ballast so each boarder can custom tailor the wake size to their liking. Directly across from the helm is the observer's seat which is wide enough for two. The seatback cushion reveals a storage compartment that provides access to the boat's two batteries and the stereo system's amps and head unit.
All the way forward in the cockpit is a fully padded bow seating and lounge area created for maximum comfort. Recessed nooks house stereo speakers and four stainless steel cup holders. Removing all the cushions exposes generous, carpet lined storage and a centerline forward ballast tank.
If you are a dedicated water baby with a large entourage or just looking for a fine, family sport platform, and don't mind shelling out 75 grand for something totally unique on the playground then see the 247 LSV first hand, you won't be disappointed.

Jazz Tickets
The pride of Salt Lake City is back and Utah Jazz tickets are hot again now that the team is a legitimate playoff contender. GoTickets.com has Jazz basketball tickets for every game on the Utah Jazz schedule at Energy Solutions Arena — event tickets to Jazz playoff games.
Utah Jazz Schedule
Friday, 8:30 PM
Jazz Ticket Info
The Utah Jazz were able to finish the '12-'13 season over .500 at 43-39, but unfortunately that wasn't good enough for a playoff berth. The Jazz made quite a run down the stretch but at season's end they were two games back of the 8th seeded Houston Rockets. Led by former assistant Tyrone Corbin, the Utah Jazz is still adjusting to life without longtime head coach Jerry Sloan. Corbin has guided the Jazz to the playoffs just once in his first three seasons in Salt Lake City, losing in the first round in '11-12. Despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Jazz have improved considerably over the last few years.
The Jazz roster currently consists of a nice mix of young players and veterans. Recent drafts have yielded the likes of Butler's Gordon Heyward, Georgia Tech's Derrick Favors, and former Tennessee Tech star Kevin Murphy. The Jazz feel that the development of their players over the last few seasons has them in prime position to make a deep run in the playoffs. EnergySolutions Arena is always a very difficult venue for road teams and the Jazz hopes that trend continues in coming years.
At GoTickets we always have a great selection of Utah Jazz tickets. From the first regular season all the way through the postseason, we are the place to go for Jazz tickets. Take a look at the Utah Jazz schedule and make your plans to be at the EnergySolutions Arena for any of their upcoming games this season. So what are you waiting for? Order your Utah Jazz tickets today!

An increasing number of workers age 50 and older are starting new businesses.
A new AARP/Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) survey of 50-plus employed workers shows that one in 20 plans to start his or her own business. Nearly one in five unemployed workers would like to do the same.
See also: We need to hear your thoughts on Social Security.
For the most part, we're not talking Silicon Valley start-ups here, but one-person shops that might employ a handful of helpers.
Older entrepreneurs can have a lot of things working in their favor — a strong work ethic, management experience and well-established networks of potential customers. But be forewarned. Running a business usually takes more than a simple passion for what you're doing. You may need to go back to school and get certifications. You'll definitely need a list of pros to help you, from a lawyer to a tax accountant. And, it's always good to try out the job first as an apprentice or moonlight to be sure it's right for you.
With so many people taking the plunge, AARP and the Small Business Administration recently formed a collaboration to promote entrepreneurship as a career option for older Americans. The aim is to link 100,000 Americans over age 50 with small-business development resources, including conferences and mentoring programs.
If being your own boss appeals to you, here are five fields that you might check out. Pay ranges will vary based on factors such as experience and where you live.
1. Handyworker
The nitty-gritty: Got the knack for fixing things? If you know woodworking and carpentry, painting, stonemasonry, tile or marble work, there's a homeowner near you looking for your help. Landlords, too, often need skilled craftsmen on a part-time basis.
Average pay range: $10.29 to $40.06 an hour and up to $50 for certain custom work, according to payscale.com. Annually, wages can run anywhere from $21,000 to $85,000.
Qualifications: You must be skilled in a range of home improvement tasks, have your own tools, good customer-service manners and initiative. Some states may require you to have a contractor's, electrician's or plumber's certificate, depending on the project. Clients might require you to be licensed, bonded and insured.

Das Rheingold
Das Rheingold is the first of the four operas that comprise "The Ring of the Nibelung (Der Ring des Nibelungen)" by Richard Wagner. The story revolves arould the Nibelung dwarf Alberich, who steals the Rheingold and renounces love in order to forge a ring so powerful, that with it he could rule the world. Full of gods, giants, maidens, dwarfs, and adventure, Das Rheingold takes us on a journey through the spectacular fantasy world imagined by Carlos Padrissa and his prolific theater group La Fura dels Baus. Blending music, acrobatics, savvy video technology, and props (often formed of human beings), this virtuosic production turns Wagner's dream of Gesamtkunstwerk (total art work) into a captivating reality.
Cast: Matti Salminen, Juha Uusitalo, Ilya Bannik, John Daszak, German Villar

If the 1st 3 picks were Upshaw, Fleener, & Zeitler then I'd be thrilled.
If the 1st 3 picks were Upshaw, Fleener, & Zeitler then I'd be thrilled.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd - Voltaire
I would also be more then thrilled if we got those three, if we got Flynn in FA, but of we end up with Manning, we will need to get another QB in the draft, and to get a quality QB, it would be in the 1st 2 rounds.
Its kind of like Syracuse basketball right now. They are loaded with deep talent, but without Fab Melo, they have a better chance of losing. kinda like Notre Dame did to them when Melo suddenly was not playing that night.
1. Melvin Gordon RB
2. Bernardrick McKinney ILB
3. Steve Nelson CB
4. John Miller G
5. Adrian Amos FS
5. Kenny Bell WR
If you trade away the entire draft for one player, you are not bringing in anybody else to contribute. We were 6-7 wins away from the playoffs, therefore, RGIII better be able to win 6-7 games in order for us to better what we had this year.
RGIII is NOT that much of a step up from Matt Moore. Actually, till he plays a single down against big-boy defenses, he's nowhere near Matt Moore.
the analogy is just fine. I dont expect you to understand SU basketball. I thought you would pick out the point I was making using a team I am very familiar with. And Basketball, albeit less of a team game than football is still a team game.
As for RG3 not being nearly anywhere near Matt Moore right now, well, in one sense your right, in another, your completely way off base.
But for the sake of a great debate on a crappy saturday afternoon where snow has finally started to fall here in the northeast, I will take us up a notch.
RG3 has more speed than any Qb that has every played the position while scoring mega points and who is well known to be accurate with the ball, extremely smart, has high character, and still stays in the pocket and looks downfield before taking off like a traditional QB.
I am sorry, I am no expert and I have not studied RG3 all that much, but I watched the bowl game and some highlights, and most all experts say he is for real, so I guess I will take their word for it.
If you dont like RG3 confessor, no sweat. But I will disagree with you to the end on this. so.......have at it.
Those same "experts" you tout have to make something, even if its from nothing. Obviously he won the Heisman, but what exactly does THAT prove???
The kid looks like a pretty good prospect, and living in Dallas, I have seen LOTS from RGIII, but, there is no way I condone giving the front end of two consecutive drafts for the kid. Not even close. He is a great athlete, but so are lots of guys playing QB in College. Until I see him rip apart a top-notch defense from a Pro-type set I hold lots of maybe's about how he will pan out.
He didn't face many daunting Defenses the entire season, and I also saw a few games where he looked mediocre at best against not such great competition.
Whatever we change this offseason, it needs to be good for 6 or so wins. IF we trade away the entire draft (Not to mention next years) for RGIII, it lands pretty much on his shoulders alone. He's simply not that good IMHO.
This is a much better and deeper class than 2011 and the Phins are in a better position to land top talent than they were last year.
That being said, it comes down to your front office getting the most out of their picks. The 2010 draft was one of the deepest in over a decade and Miami got very little return and missed out on plenty of impact players. This could be a defining draft for Ireland.

A couple of weeks ago, I drove to a North Carolina casino to see Merle Haggard in concert and to lose $100 at blackjack by doubling down on soft 20 against a dealer's six card.
The bummer of the evening wasn't my incredibly stupid blackjack play. (Proper move, kids, is to stand at 20, watch the dealer bust and collect your money.) It was that my Haggard floor ticket turned out to have an obstructed view.
The obstruction came courtesy of a woman who kept standing up, turning away from Haggard (if the Hag was at noon, she was facing three o'clock, unless your clock is digital) and using her cellphone to record the video screen that was showing an enlarged but blurry version of the show she had paid to experience.
She didn't experience the show at all. She experienced recording a video screen, so that she could later watch a blurrier image of the screen on a small screen of her own, along with distorted sound captured on her phone's cruddy little microphone. And I experienced watching her do this, which led first to anger, then to resignation and then to doubling down on soft 20.
I was going to say something to the lady, but then I looked around and saw dozens of other tiny little cellphones in the air, distracting hundreds of other people and leading to what may well have been the most successful blackjack night in Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort history.

Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Baylor University Physicist Gerald Cleaver describes the changing state of our understanding of the cosmos and suggests ways that Christians can make theological sense of a theoretical Multiverse.
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
Scientists who confront Bible-believing Christians with the physical evidence of theologically-challenging views like old-earth geology or common ancestry are usually incredulous when their well-crafted and well-supported arguments fall on deaf ears. How can something so obvious to one person be so easily dismissed by another?
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Today we have a chance to witness a special moment in history as Venus transits across the disk of the Sun for people across the world to see. Not only is this process of discovery exciting for natural science, but it has profound theological ramifications as well.
Seven years ago, fellow filmmaker Terry Kay Rockefeller and I set out on a voyage of discovery that would result in RENEWAL, the first feature-length documentary about America's religious-environmental movement.
As we mark the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, we'd do well to remember that it was successful because of its remarkable grassroots response. We've all become aware of the daily choices we encounter where we could all do our part.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.

Collins poses, as the central question of his book: "In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews?"

Basic Information
Geography & Hydrology
The Great Lakes - Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario - are a dominant part of the physical and cultural heritage of North America.
Shared with Canada and spanning more than 750 miles (1,200 kilometers) from west to east, these vast inland freshwater seas provide water for consumption, transportation, power, recreation and a host of other uses.
The Great Lakes are the largest surface freshwater system on the Earth. Only the polar ice caps contain more fresh water.
- 84% of North America's surface fresh water
- about 21% of the world's supply of surface fresh water
- Physical features of the Great Lakes
- Great Lakes Atlas (1995)
- Bathymetry data and maps from NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory
Lake descriptions
Lake Erie
- the smallest by volume
- the shallowest
- warms rapidly in the spring and summer
- frequently freezes over in winter
- average depth is only about 62 ft. (19m)
- The western basin (about 20% of the lake), is very shallow with an average depth of 24 ft. (7.4m)
- retention time = 2.6 years (a measure based on the volume of water in the lake and the mean rate of outflow)
- Most of the area around the lake is urban or agricultural.
- 17 metropolitan areas with populations over 50,000 within the Lake Erie basin
- Significant effects from urban and agricultural runoff
- Lake Erie Lakewide Management Plan
Lake Huron
- the third largest by volume
- vacation homes on the shallow, sandy beaches of Huron and along the rocky shores of Georgian Bay
- Saginaw River basin is intensively farmed
- Flint and Saginaw-Bay City metropolitan areas.
- Saginaw Bay contains a very productive fishery
- Physical and environmental features
Lake Michigan
- the second largest
- the only Great Lake entirely within the United States
- variable climate, population density and development
- northern part: colder, less developed, sparsely populated
- southern basin: more temperate, among the most urbanized areas in the Great Lakes system.
- Milwaukee and Chicago metropolitan areas have about 8 million people, 20% of the total population of the Great Lakes basin
- Green Bay has one of the most productive Great Lakes fisheries but receives the wastes from the world's largest concentration of pulp and paper mills
- Lake Michigan Lakewide Management Plan
Lake Ontario
- second smallest by volume
- average depth 283 ft. (86m)
- retention time = 6 years (a measure based on the volume of water in the lake and the mean rate of outflow)
- urban industrial centers (Hamilton and Toronto) on the Canadian side
- U.S. shore is less urbanized, not intensively farmed
- Lake Ontario Lakewide Management Plan
Lake Superior
- the largest by volume
- the deepest and coldest
- retention time = 191 years (a measure based on the volume of water in the lake and the mean rate of outflow)
- Most of the Superior basin is forested, with little agriculture because of a cool climate and poor soils.
- Sparse population
- Relatively few pollutants enter Lake Superior, except through airborne transport
- Lake Superior Binational Program
Great Lakes Basin
- The Great Lakes Basin encompasses large parts of two nations, the United States and Canada.
- Nearly 25% of Canadian agricultural production and 7% of American farm production
- Population is more than 30 million people - roughly 10% of the U.S. population and more than 30% of the Canadian population
The Great Lakes basin is defined by science, engineering and politics.
- Most of the basin is defined by hydrology; watersheds that drain into the Great Lakes and their connecting channels are in the Great Lakes basin. See larger version of the map.
- A combination of engineering and politics (Canadian) have resulted in the Rideau exception being included in the Great Lakes basin (the orange striped polygon on the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence River). See detail map of northeast portion of the basin.
- The Clean Water Act defines the orange striped polygon on the US side as part of the Great Lakes basin (though hydrologically it drains into the St. Lawrence River). See detail map of northeast portion of the basin.
The boundaries on these two maps are defined by 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUC8). These may change slightly as more detailed mapping is completed for these watersheds. The maps also display the counties in the Great Lakes basin.
Environmental Issues
Although the Great Lakes are large, they are sensitive to pollutants. Outflows from the Great Lakes are relatively small (less than 1 percent per year) in comparison with the total volume of water. Pollutants that enter the lakes are retained in the system and become more concentrated with time.
- toxic and nutrient pollution
- invasive species
- habitat degradation
Pollution sources
- runoff of soils and farm chemicals from agricultural lands
- waste from cities
- discharges from industrial areas
- eachate from disposal sites
- direct atmospheric pollutants that fall as rain, snow, or dust on the lake surface, or exchange as gases with the lake water.
Protecting the Great Lakes Environment
Multiple government jurisdictions make Great Lakes environmental protection complex.
- The United States and Canada
- US EPA and nine other federal agencies
- More than 140 different federal programs for environmental restoration and management
- 8 states
- nearly 40 Tribal Nations
- more than half a dozen major metropolitan areas
- numerous county and local governments
Great Lakes Interagency Task Force
- Established by Executive Order in 2004 <link to the document>
- US EPA is lead agency (Great Lakes National Program Office)
- Provides strategic direction on federal Great Lakes policy, priorities and programs
- EPA works with the Council of Great Lakes Governors and the Great Lakes Cities Initiative on regional collaboration.
Managing this shared resource internationally
- 1909 Boundary Waters Treaty
- 1987 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA)
- Great Lakes 5-Year Strategy - developed jointly by EPA and its multi-state, multi-Agency partners provides the agenda for Great Lakes ecosystem management
- Lakewide Management Plans for each lake
Great Lakes Legacy Act
- Great Lakes Legacy Act of 2002
- provides $270 million over five years to
- clean up contaminated sediments from the Great Lakes and
- educate people about contaminated sediments
- EPA Great Lakes National Program Office evaluates and funds projects
- Priority is given to projects that
- Cleaning up contaminated sediment
- Identified in a Remedial Action Plan
- Ready to be implemented
- Using an innovative approach, technology, or technique that may provide greater environmental benefits, or equivalent environmental benefits at a reduced cost
- Include remediation that will start within a year of being funded

Those US or chinese companies are using cheap chinese labor to circumvent the labor costs of this country. So the companies that employ american labor can't compete and have to go overseas, the result is lost jobs, lost quality, and lost skill sets. It's OK though the American business owners can get alot richer, what with not having to pay real saleries, pensions, vacation, health care, insurance, comply with OSHA, meet environmental regs etc.

is it realy worth a 5% increase in pay to put so many U.S. workers out of work. soon we wont make any thing, then what ??thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. firstname.lastname@example.com
summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.
Chinese airplane?
Did you know that Cessna is building their newest airplane in China? After seeing that 4-wheeler, would you fly in a Chinese airplane?
And as far as passing the cost saving on to their customers, it will cost 109 grand... about 10% MORE than competitive airplanes.

Aluminum airplane, continental engine...
Dont even get me started on that one.....
As I have observed in other industries, there is NO cost savings in going to a manufacturing country like CHINA is now, when you are building a high quality product. The ammount of babysitting, rejects, learning curve etc. etc. that has to be done by the parent company here in the US, plus the transportation costs, add to the cost of the product, and just about level the playing field. What isnt seen is how resources in this country are strained and overworked, just keeping an eye on the China divisions of the companys. Of course then we cut engineering and quality control jobs in this country to save a buck, and now there is nobody left to babysit bejing. Hmmmm babysit, maybe we should send their own toys back to them.....or is that chemical warfare?

3rd shift stuff. US company contracts a chinese co to build a product. The factory runs 2 shifts building said product. then the 3rd shift comes in. they build the same product, sometimes with cheaper parts sometimes not. but they are able to sell the same item for a lot less since they have no marketing or R&D costs. sometimes they sell a black market item that looks the same, sometimes it is a knock off brand, like Panasonic/Panasornic. This is quite prevelant in electronics.
If you've had electronics fail, particularly computers, you may have fallen victim to the capacitor plague. Cheap Chinese counterfit capacitors. You can fix it easily yourself for a few bucks.

A friend of mine bought a cheap chineese quad for his daughter used it a couple times and sold it to me.
It no longer has rear brakes and trying to get them seems to be impossible but other than that it has been surprisingly a good quad.
However the first time it needs a major part that I cant make it will be junked
The next one will be a japaneese or polaris.

C&T 4000- Disability, Schooling, and Exclusion
This course explores the ways dis/ability status and other facets of
identity (such as one's race, ethnicity, language background, gender, sexuality, religious
[non]affiliation, etc.) may come into play in the cultural processes of exclusion in schools.
While a premise of this course is the centrality of the intersections of multiple facets of identity
in the experience of exclusion, there is nevertheless a central focus in this course on the ways
in which ableism works in schools (albeit in concert with racism, classism, heterosexism, etc.).
This course examines the cultural and historical bases of ableism in the U.S., explores current
legal and bureaucratic structures, discourses, and practices of special education, and focuses on
pedagogical supports necessary to provide all students access to an academic education in U.S.
schools. There is a focus on inclusive schooling and an active focus on mitigating exclusion in
C&T 5030 - Quantitative Research Design in Curriculum and Teaching
This course focuses on understanding the concepts of design and
analysis of quantitative research in schools and education. The course reviews
methodological considerations for experimental, quasi-experimental, and co-relational
research with a focus on understanding issues of causal inference, sampling, validity,
measurement, hypothesis testing, analytic strategies and reporting. We use readings
of experimental and non-experimental research studies on a range of issues in the field of
education in order to critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of various research
design and analytic choices. Through these readings students will learn to engage in
scholarly critiques of quantitative research, conduct a methodological review of
quantitative research in an area of interest, and form a foundation for developing a
methodologically sound quantitative study.
C&T 5199 - School To Prison Pipeline
This course examines the multiple processes that result in the
school to prison pipeline, as well as the policies and practices that educators, administrators, and
advocates can enact to dismantle the pipeline. The course will evaluate the impact of federal and
local policies, incidents of school violence, and the culture of criminalizing youth behavior on
school discipline. Students will also examine student and school level risk factors for
involvement in the pipeline and the experiences of youth subjected to school failure, push-out,
and incarcerated education.

ITC Stone® Sans Familia tipográfica
Diseñado por Sumner Stone/1987
Acerca de ITC Stone® Sans Familia tipográfica
Sumner Stone worked together with Bob Ishi of Adobe to create the Stone family fonts, which appeared in 1987. Coincidentally, ishi is the Japanese word for stone, which precluded any squabbling about whose name the font would carry. The family consists of three types of fonts, a serif, a sans-serif and an informal style. The Stone fonts are very legible and make a modern, dynamic impression.

The SPORTY FLAIR of the unique tread design gives you the performance look in a tire that's also designed with performance driving features and affordability in mind. A package of Bridgestone technologies including UNI-T, a silica enhanced tread compound molded into a sophisticated directional tread pattern helps to deliver all-season traction - in wet, dry, or snow. While the Potenza handles, brakes and corners with the precision you expect in a performance tire, it's also engineered to give you driving comfort plus a quiet ride!
All orders are verified for fitment guarantee.
I have about 15k miles on these tires. The traction and handling are good. Tread wear is also good. The biggest complaint is that they are VERY VERY noisey, so much so that I can hardly play the radio. The noise is especially loud when the tires are cold. I can not recommend these tires.

Felipe Massa has been taken to a local hospital for "precautionary checks" after a late crash in Sunday's Canadian GP.
The Williams driver was fighting at the front of the field in Montreal and on the penultimate lap made a move on Sergio Perez.
Massa hit the back of the Force India, sending both into the barriers.
Suffering a heavy impact, the Brazilian was taken to the track's medical centre and has now gone to hospital for more checks.
Williams, though, have reported that he is okay.
"Felipe OK but after checks at the medical centre he has been taken to hospital for further precautionary checks due to the heavy impact," said the team.
Williams head of vehicle performance Rob Smedley has revealed that Massa's impact with the barriers was a staggering 27Gs.
"Felipe Massa has been checked out in the medical centre and doesn't seem to be having many problems," he told the BBC. "There was 27G in the car so it was a high impact and he has now gone for precautionary checks. He is fairly miffed at the moment.
"With Felipe, we were not looking too bad. We were on for chasing Sergio Perez which would have got us up to fourth but we couldn't get at the Red Bulls. We had some problems with Valterri Bottas.
"You look back at what you have done badly and we will make sure we don't do it again. We will pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off. We have a good car and are heading in the right direction."

ETSU hits stumbling block at Hokie Classic
Saturday, August 30, 2003Blacksburg, Va. (August 30, 2003)-- Following last night's victory to open the 2003 season, the East Tennessee State volleyball team took a minor step backwards when the Buccaneers fell to Miami (Ohio) in day-two action from the Hokie Classic. The RedHawks (1-1) defeated ETSU (1-1) in three straight games (31-29, 30-20, 30-24) thanks in part to the strong play of Tara Buroker. The Miami outside hitter registered a .345 attack percentace with 14 kills. Both stats were match highs. ETSU's answer on the offensive side of the net was senior middle blocker Lissa Allen (Palm Bay, Fla.), who tallied 12 kills for an attack percentace of .310. As a team, the Bucs converted on just .175 of their attack attempts. Senior Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.) flirted with a double-double with nine kills and a team-high nine digs. Sophomore Kristi Robinson garnered 33 assists. The Buccaneers will face Virginia Tech later today in the final match of the Hokie Classic. That match is scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

Casey Campbell, 34, was arrested on Sunday, May 1, 2011, for online solicitation of a minor/sexual contact, a second degree felony.
"We received a tip back in November from a concerned citizen that Campbell was prowling on Facebook, trying to become friendly with teenage girls," said Sweetwater Chief of Police Jim Kelley. "So we created a Facebook page for a 15-year-old girl," Kelley added.
Kelley stated that last Thursday and Friday, Campbell was "very explicit in what he wanted to do to this underage girl."
Kelley also stated that officers on the page would repeatedly state, "I'm only 15 years old," so that Campbell clearly knew that the girl was underage.
Officers set up a meeting for Campbell and the fictional 15-year-old girl and Campbell showed up to the meeting where he was arrested. With Campbell's permission, Sweetwater police officers also seized his computer and it has been turned over to ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) for search of any illegal images.
"There are some scary people out there and parents really need to be aware of where their children are going online and who they are talking to online," stated Kelley. "Parents need to talk to their kids and more importantly, parents need to listen to their kids."
Kelley states that the second degree felony, punishable by 2-20 years in prison, could be enhanced due to a prior felony conviction. In 2002, Campbell was convicted of injury to an elderly person, a third degree felony. He was sentenced to eight years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on Sept. 6, 2002.
Campbell pled guilty to the charge and had three other charges dropped from an indictment handed down on Feb. 1, 2002. The charges included two counts of aggravated sexual assault and two counts of injury to an elderly person. The indictment stated that Campbell sexually penetrated a 65-year-old woman. The incidents occurred at Sweetwater Healthcare Center in January of 2002.
"Campbell is a sexual predator and I hope he goes away for a long time," said Kelley.
Why is this man even out of jail? Throw him so far back he will never see light again.

"Those you allow to remain will become…thorns in your sides."
(Numbers 33:55 NIV)
Determining Who Belongs in Your Life
"Earthquakes result from two tectonic plates on a fault line shifting against one another, then lurching in opposite directions. And that's what happens when you bond with the wrong people. It's why God instructed the Israelites concerning the hostile nations in the Promised Land: "Those you allow to remain will become…thorns in your sides."
When a relationship is not working, when your efforts to rehabilitate it have failed, acknowledge it. Sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and admit that instead of lifting them up, they're dragging you down. Releasing somebody doesn't mean they'll never improve, it just means God is better suited to the job. Be careful around those who are always trying to make you feel guilty for not "being there." Only God can always be there! There's a difference between helping somebody and carrying them. Your help may actually be a hindrance. Why should they even try, if you're always there to do it for them? Your need to be needed could be getting in the way of their need to grow.
Step back and let them walk on their own. Not everybody will be happy when you do that, but they're not supposed to be. Jesus said, "Woe to you when all men speak well of you" (Luke 6:26 NKJV). Don't allow the fear of criticism to overwhelm your common sense. People don't take confrontations well, but this is a matter of survival. Every relationship is for a reason, and a season. So here is the Word for today …Discern those who belonged in your past, from those who belong in your life now."

springtime is creeping up on us again... was wondering if you had dusted that thing off and/or if there were any improvements and mods over the winter.... Have been thinking about that engine and have some questions.. know you run a glide... is the bellhousing pattern the same as the 60v6 or is it something else? had you heard any more about manual trans conversions on that motor or have any links where one may explore?? might have to build a hotrod/sportsracer type toy... probably no time or money this season but can maybe start to collect parts and start planning a Locost7 inspired chassis.. to placate my wandering mind...
pls post some more pics and ET-times...

Thread: Vortec 4200 Miller Swartz Rail
Vortec 4200 Miller Swartz Rail
Well even though weve had a few nice weeks here lately in Wisconsin, there always seems to be this sense this time of year that Mother Nature will want to even out the karma scale. We can easily see 60+ degrees one day and a blizzard the next. This is why the tracks this far north typically dont open until April (and even thats crap shoot). Ive been to one too many first Div. 3 races of the season at Indy where snow was flying. My planned first race this year was going to be the Division 5 race in Brainerd, MN, but that is being preempted this year by the birth of my second son. So it looks like the Div. 3 race in Joliet is the new target with some testing before then.
We have done some things to the engine this off season based on info we acquired with the data logger we put in the car late last season. Last year was a bit of a struggle - as it seems to be with any new engine program. We were having a hard time getting the motor to last more than a few runs. The logger ended up showing that it was related to an oil pressure (or lack of) issue at certain times during the run. We hope to have that gremlin taken care of with a new oil pan/pick-up design that I just finished welding up a couple of weekends ago. Even with the problems we did have, we started to run under the G/ED index and qualified at a few Division races. Unfortunately wounded engines kept me from making the 1st round call each of those times, but it was encouraging.
To answer your trans question, the bell housing is different on the 4200. In production, this engine was coupled with a modular type transmission where the bell is separate from the rest of the trans. Regardless, the problem that we run into is that even if we fabricated a bell that would mate engine to glide or TH 350, NHRA rules state that we still need a SFI approved flex plate shield. They just don't exist for this bolt pattern. So we use the rear motor plate as an adapter between the motor and trans and use a standard flex plate shield for a 'glide. Now as far as manual conversions go, Im sure they are out there. I personally dont know of any, but this motor has been used for a few years now in some off road racing where manual transmissions are used. With a little bit of a search Im sure you can find somebody who has done it.
As I get more pics this season, Ill make sure to post them for you.
here in NE Pa we had a few days of warm.... enough to get the river flooding... and now is getting cold again.... spring is still coming eventually...
on your oiling prob... there are a few guys at inliners.org that are starting to fool with that motor... and it is showing some real promise.. 900+ hp turboed.... with stock internals... there is supposed to be a sub 10second street driven nova out there with that motor.... so they must be addressing it somehow..
there is a rear sump pan being developed out there that may help..
of course dry sump is always an option... albiet expensive....
glad to see you are still messing with it... looking forward to pics and more discussion..
BTW... the 2006 internal redesign is rumored to have improved the oiling system as well..
The engine does have quite a bit of potential. Unfortunately many of the HP improvement options you mentioned (e.g. turbo charging) are not allowed in G/ED. For example, I had to convert the motor from fuel injection (which was OEM) to running carburetors. As far as the oiling goes, it certainly isn't a stock engine related issue. Because there are limited after market components for the 4200, items like a performance oil pan have to be custom fabrications. Unfortunately in the original design, there as so much suction that the pick-up sucked down to the floor of the pan. The choked off pick-up coupled with a trap door (used to prevent the oil from sloshing toward the front of the pan during deceleration) that wasn't operating as efficiently as it should, all created a situation where there just wasnt enough oil flowing through the engine lubrication the parts that needed it (i.e. the main and rod bearings).
In the example in the link, the oil pan design is something more like a stock small block/V6 style oil pan. In a more performance related application, there are a few issues with such a design. The shallow front end of the pan tends to keep the oil as it drains down relatively close to the rotating assembly. This increases the chance that the oil will be drawn back up against the rotating parts which robs horse power. This is why a dry sump system usually increases HP. It pulls the oil directly out of the pan and away from these rotating components. Again, because of G/ED rules, I cannot use one of these either.
then I take it that you are allowed to modify the stock pan to correct some of that... are you allowed to make and install a windage tray or crank scraper??
BTW... in the application that I am looking at.. do not have any restrictions other than streetability... and since I will probably be building my own chassis.. crossmember clearence and sump position will not be an issue.... do you have any Idea as to your hp in the carb config???
Yes, both are allowed as are other engine enhancements like bore, stroke, head porting, etc. As far as HP, it is only estimated at this point because we have not dyno'd the engine yet. It didn't make sense last year to do dyno pulls without knowing if the motor would last.
have you weighed the longblock.. or have any number?
how about some updates and more pics??? people are starting to discover the potential of that engine..
470hp and 450lbs torque... on 8lb Boost...... @5800rpm
an article in the Aug 2011 Car Craft mag... not bad for an early 4200 w/sts turbo kit..... and stock internals.....
