Small Block Mopar Engine - Junkyard Jewel 5.9l Mopar Magnum - Engine BuldupWritten by on May 6, 2008 There are a ton of late-model Magnum 360 eninge out there, so we grabbed one and found out how to make good power without spending a million dollars.
Chrysler unceremoniously unveiled the 360ci (5.9L) LA-series small-block V-8 in 1971 as a low-compression engine with only a two-barrel carburetor. The 4.00-inch-bore-by-3.58-inch-stroke powerplant was originally designed to provide an economical alternative to the popular 383 two-barrel big-block, while the shorter-stroke and larger-bore (4.04x3.31) 340-cube engine carried the performance banner. With the cancellation of the 340 engine option after the '73 model run, there were a few performance variants of the 360 in the early and mid-'70s, though these were all low-compression engines with the further disadvantage of add-on smog-control equipment. There really was no love for the 360 engine in the early years, which developed an unflattering reputation as a low-performance "smog motor." It took decades for this impression to lose its hold. Eventually the 360 earned acceptance from the Mopar crowd, and its popularity has grown ironically to become one of the favored powerplants for performance use, especially when the objective is high output on a real working man's budget.
The 5.9L Magnum engine was a big step forward in the 360's evolution. By the early '90s, the 360 was seriously dated, especially compared with engine packages offered by competitive manufacturers. Looking to gain an edge on the competition for a minimum of development cost, Chrysler gave the old warhorse a significant facelift, reintroducing the engine as the 5.9L Magnum in 1993. Changes were made to improve the engine in output, reliability, and sealing against oil leakage. Chrysler succeeded on all three counts with revised cylinder heads, modern MPI fuel injection, and greatly improved assembly gaskets and seals. These revisions were enough to put the 5.9L Magnum at a competitive power level and bought the basic engine platform another 10 years of production life in Chrysler's popular truck, van, and SUV offerings, until it was ultimately replaced by the 5.7 Hemi.
When considering low-buck performance for a Mopar, good power potential and ready availability make the 360 a winner. However, the days of buying a good used but serviceable LA-series 360 to swap are drawing to a close, and even good cores are getting harder to find these days.
The later Magnum-series engines open the door for a number of possibilities. It isn't a problem to find a decent used 5.9 Magnum engine from late-model used-parts sources, ripe for whatever performance plans you might have. In fact, Magnum mills seem to have survived the rigors of service much better than the earlier engines, owing to improvements like a better ring pack with thinner moly rings and effective MPI fuel injection with modern engine management, all leading to a reduction in bore wear. It's not uncommon to pop the lids on a 100,000-plus-mile Magnum and discover negligible bore wear, while the older carbureted small-blocks would have been spent. Good bores and a sound engine are essential to the foundation of a low-buck performance engine.
So what kind of power is lurking in one of these late-model Magnum 5.9 engines? Some time on the dyno answered that question, but first we needed a suitable test mill. The most common approach here would be to salvage a core or used engine from a late-model truck, van, or SUV, but we took the easy way out and shortcut the process by using a 300hp Mopar Performance crate engine as our dyno mule. Before you cry foul, consider the origins of and equipment on this basic crate offering.
Mopar's Magnum 360 crate engines were offered in 300- and 380hp versions, both based on the production Magnum 5.9. The higher-powered engine comes with higher-compression pistons, a long-duration camshaft, and a single-plane Mopar Performance intake. Far more basic, the 300hp version is the same engine as in your typical Durango, van, or Ram truck. With the 300hp crate you get a bone-stock production bottom end, complete with the stock truck pistons and cam. Changes are only the addition of a center-sump passenger-car oil pan, an LA engine-style front cover, a conventional distributor, and a two-plane carbureted intake to replace the factory "beer-barrel" MPI injection system. The fact that our dyno shop had one of these stock-based crates sitting around gathering dust sealed the deal. Even though our engine began life as a crate motor, our results would be representative of an effort that starts with any serviceable or remanned production 5.9 Magnum.
To The Dyno
Our game plan was to equip the engine with the same basics any Magnum would require for a retrofit into an earlier application. We'd start with a dead-stock Magnum long-block engine assembly, adding a carburetor, a conventional distributor, and headers for the baseline. This is the minimum level of trim needed to shove a Magnum in place of the Slant Six in your old Dodge Dart or Plymouth Duster. For the induction combination, we used the same intake that came stock on Mopar's 300hp crate engine-the M1 dual-plane-topped by a 750 Speed Demon carb. To handle the ignition, an MSD distributor was dropped into place, although an alternative here is the excellent Mopar Performance electronic ignition system. A set of Hooker Super Comp 13/4-inch headers completed the engine package, and we were ready to run. Testing on Westech's SuperFlow 901 engine dyno revealed an output of 319 hp at 4,400-4,500 rpm and 424 lb-ft of torque at 3,700 rpm. Not exactly a high-rpm screamer, but it had the very good low-end torque you'd expect from a truck motor.
Our next level of modification would be to step up the combination significantly with traditional hot-rod modifications like cam, induction, and cylinder-head changes. Our cam choice would naturally be a hydraulic roller, since these late-model Mopar small-blocks are thus equipped. We wanted to keep the cam specs moderate and streetable, so we decided on a 230/236-degree duration at 0.050 Comp custom grind on a 110-degree lobe separation, using Comp's XFI hydraulic roller lobes No. 3016 and No. 3037 on the intake and exhaust, respectively. These lobes provide very quick valve action, giving 0.576/0.571-inch lift with a Magnum 1.6:1 rocker ratio. The stock Magnum hydraulic roller lifters and lifter-retainer spider assembly were kept.
While normally we like to make such changes on the dyno one piece at a time, the production Magnum cylinder heads are limited to just over 0.500 inch of lift before they encounter disastrous retainer-to-guide collision. This precluded shoving our hot high-lift Comp hydraulic roller in place while retaining the stock heads. To keep the stock heads, the valve guides need to be machined down and new seals, valve-springs, and matching retainers installed. Fortunately, a set of Edelbrock Performer RPM Magnum cylinder heads were also part of our upgrade plan, and these are capable of swallowing 0.580 inch of lift as equipped from Edelbrock. While the head swap is certainly possible without changing the cam, it seemed ludicrous to run the upgraded heads with the 0.385/0.401-inch-lift stock truck cam. With the Magnum's stock, dished pistons, the compression ratio was 9.0:1.
Under these circumstances, swapping the cam and cylinder heads together was the most realistic combination. The Edelbrock heads require stud-mounted rockers and are designed to accept any aftermarket Chevy rocker arms for 3/8-inch studs. To fulfill this requirement, we went with a set of Comp 1.6:1-ratio aluminum roller rockers. Because replacing the pedestal OEM Magnum rockers requires hardened pushrods to work with the Edelbrock heads' guideplates, we finished the valvetrain package with a set of Comp Magnum pushrods.
The final item in our combination to be changed was the two-plane M1 intake. Clearly designed more for low-end torque than horsepower aspirations, this intake manifold is wholly out of place with our cam-and-head combination. The solution here was the Mopar Performance M1 single-plane intake, a long-runner manifold that has proven to make good top-end power while retaining high levels of torque through the midrange. In fact, this is the intake design Mopar Performance runs on all of its higher-output crate engines. With that, we had our Magnum power package-the Comp rockers, pushrods and XFI cam, Edelbrock heads, and Mopar single-plane intake. Each of these components substantially raises the bar on the hardware they replace.
With the jetting dialed in, the power pulls confirmed that this parts selection put major firepower in the basic Magnum package, with 448 hp recorded at 5,800 rpm and 435 lb-ft of torque coming to bear at 4,900 rpm. The cam, heads, intake, and valvetrain package was worth a staggering 129 hp on the stock Magnum mill. For us, that is a righteous gain for a well-selected assortment of out-of-the-box aftermarket parts on a stock production engine. Far from a raucous and unruly combination, the modified engine idled easily at 850 rpm with 12 in-Hg of manifold vacuum, a level that is right at home in a street-driven machine. With output like this ready for the taking, it might be worth considering giving Magnum power a home in your Mopar machine.
More Magnum Vs. La-Series Information
The introduction of Mopar's Magnum series of engines was the most significant revision of the Mopar small-block since its introduction in 1964. There are some points to consider when deciding whether a Magnum engine is the right choice in an engine buildup and when mixing and matching components or applications.
Heads And Valvetrain
Magnums utilize 1.6:1-ratio pedestal rockers in place of the earlier LA-series engine's shaft-mount 1.5:1 arrangement. The LA engine provides oil to the rocker shafts via an oil passage in the block and heads. This was deleted in later Magnum engines, which rely on pushrod oiling via the lifters. Magnum heads can be retrofitted to an LA-series block, requiring lifters with oiling provisions (nearly all aftermarket lifters are so equipped) and the appropriate oiling pushrods. A Magnum block cannot accept LA-series heads without custom-machining the oil passages or creating a custom bypass oil-feed. For practical purposes this swap is a nonplayer, except in the case of very early Magnum blocks that were reportedly manufactured with the LA-style oiling provisions intact.
Magnums have a slightly revised head-bolt package requiring a Magnum-specific bolt set for use with Magnum heads. The head gaskets are also unique to the engine, although LA-series gaskets can be used in all applications. More choices in performance head gaskets are available for the LA-series design.
Intakes And Valve Covers
The Magnum intake has vertical fasteners, in contrast to the angled LA-series arrangement. This precludes swapping LA-series and Magnum intakes without modification, though it is possible to modify the intakes to work either way. Some aftermarket intakes are double-drilled to fit either engine. The fasteners and gaskets are also unique to the engine series.
Magnum engines have 10 valve-cover fasteners compared to five on LA-series engines, and utilize a superior steel-reinforced rubber gasket. LA-series valve covers will bolt to a Magnum head, though this arrangement does not take advantage of the improved sealing of the later design.
Accessories, Cam, And Front Cover
Magnum engines featured a serpentine-belt accessory drive, a reverse-rotation water pump, and utilized a timing-case cover with no provision for a mechanical fuel pump. The Magnum camshaft nose was also changed and will not accept a mechanical-fuel-pump drive eccentric. An LA-series timing case will bolt directly to a Magnum block, allowing mounting for the fuel pump, conventional accessories, and a standard LA-engine water pump in a retrofit application. The camshaft will also need to be ordered on a core with the LA-series nose to accept the fuel-pump eccentric.
Oil Pan Interchange
At the bottom end, the Magnum engines all use the LA-series 360 rear oil-pan relief. Any 360 oil pan will bolt to a Magnum. However, a non-Magnum pan cannot use the Magnum one-piece oil-pan gasket, as the early LA-series pans are notched at each side of the rear relief, while the Magnum is not. A non-Magnum pan will require the LA-series 360 oil-pan-gasket set.
Max Power Potential
In terms of ultimate power potential, the LA engine has a clear advantage over the Magnum. With the shaft-mounted rocker arrangement of the LA series, offset intake rockers can be readily utilized to dramatically increase the available intake-port cross-section at the pushrod restriction. This is a major consideration in very high-output applications. The offset rocker arrangement was used by Chrysler in the '70 T/A cylinder heads and subsequent Mopar W-series race heads, and is used by aftermarket manufacturers such as Indy Cylinder Head. The stud-mounted Magnum heads are not supported by available offset-intake valvetrain arrangements. This limitation becomes an issue at approximately the 500hp level, though fully ported Magnum heads are capable of exceeding this output.

Mopar Performance's older 300hp Magnum crate engine was a basic 5.9L Magnum production engine, delivered with a two-plane intake manifold, a car oil pan, and conventional electronic ignition for retrofit applications. The rest of the hardware is the same stuff found in hundreds of thousands of these mills installed in truck applications from '93 and up. How do these Mopar Magnum 360s respond to mods? We loaded one onto the dyno at Westech to find out.For a baseline, we installed a Mopar Performance M1 dual-plane manifold. When dealing with a production Magnum in a retrofit application, in most cases the factory MPI will be replaced by a single four-barrel intake.Owing to the crate-engine origins of our test motor, this Magnum was already equipped with an earlier LA-series timing-case cover and conventional early water pump. We cobbled the drive from a 215 Buick crank pulley and aftermarket water-pump pulley for a slight underdrive. Salvage-yard Magnums have serpentine accessory drives and reverse-rotation water pumps. The early case and pump are a bolt-on swap.A Speed Demon 750 carb was bolted to the intake, but a spacer plate was necessary to prevent the carb linkage from fouling on the low-rise intake. We used a generic 1-inch open spacer.You won't run your Magnum engine with the MPI distributor that comes with it from the junkyard, since the stock units are designed to work with the engine's PCM. Any small-block Mopar conventional distributor will solve that. We used an MSD distributor, though a Mopar Performance electronic-ignition distributor is a popular alternative.Ready to run with Hooker 13/4-inch SuperComp headers and open exhaust with 18-inch collector extensions, our Magnum test engine wasn't pretty and didn't exactly inspire awe with its power output. The engine produced 319 hp in this configuration.Stock Magnums utilize pedestal-mount rockers, a departure from the traditional Mopar shaft systems. Most aftermarket kits convert these nonadjustable rockers to a stud-mounted system that accepts Chevy rocker arms.
Edelbrock Performer RPM Magnum heads have much-improved airflow compared with the stockers and convert the rocker arrangement to stud mounts, offering adjustability to the valvetrain. The heads come with guideplates and accept any Chevy rocker; we used Comp aluminum rollers in a 1.6:1 ratio. New ARP bolts and Fel-Pro gaskets provided the seal.A limiting factor in a Magnum engine is the distance between the pushrods, which limits the size of the port window. While LA-series engines share this limitation, with shaft mounts the earlier engines are easily modified using offset intake rockers for much wider ports. This becomes a point to consider if you're looking to make 550-plus horsepower with a large-port head, or for maximum power with big stroker combinations.Part of the reason for the good low-end torque and poor top-end horsepower is the unbelievably small stock cam. Duration measures 250/264 SAE gross, while lift is a paltry 0.385/0.401 inch even with the Magnum's 1.6:1 rocker ratio.Although it looks similar to the stocker at first glance, this Comp XFI hydraulic roller takes advantage of the aggressive valve-opening rates possible with a roller grind, yet at 230/236 degrees of duration at 0.050, this profile can serve in a hot daily driver. Valve lift checks in at 0.576/0.571.A benefit of the late-model Magnum mill is a good factory hydraulic roller setup. We retained all the stock stuff here, including the lifters. Alignment for the lifters is via yokes, which tie them in pairs to keep them from rotating, and a bolt-on spider retainer.Sealing off the lifter valley, we ditched the low-rise dual-plane for a Mopar Performance M1 single-plane, using a new set of ARP bolts. This intake features the high flow needed to keep the Edelbrock heads happy and long runners for good midrange torque.The 750 Speed Demon used in our baseline testing was again employed, as was the 1-inch open spacer. This size carb is actually a better match in required airflow capacity with the hotter engine combination. We dialed it in to optimize the jetting for the horsepower to come.

I think it was French, about a woman who wants to get pregnant and a guy who tries to rob a sperm bank but in the end gives his own to the woman. The man suffers from nosebleed when he is nervous and in the end, when she is in the airport the man and the woman realize that they love each other.

Many solutions to public health problems are broad initiatives that make the healthy choice an easier option, which in this case would be making it easier to avoid cigarettes. Research can provide data about approaches that are the most effective and cost-efficient.
The Internet Cigarette Vendors (ICV) Study through the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill PRC examined the sales and marketing practices of vendors and their impact on issues such as cigarette excise tax evasion and youth access to tobacco. The researchers identified, catalogued, and analyzed more than 2,800 ICV websites. In 2010, the U.S. Senate cited the ICV Study in its unanimous decision to pass the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act. The act restricts the sale of untaxed cigarettes and other tobacco products over the Internet, verifies the age and identification of buyers, and bans the delivery of tobacco products through the U.S. Postal Service.
PRC Research Aims to Motivate Us to Make Healthy Choices
Though the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine can help prevent cervical cancer, only about 1 in 3 girls in the recommended age group finishes the three-dose series.
University of Kentucky PRC researchers wanted to find a way to motivate young women to complete the HPV vaccine series. They developed and tested 1-2-3 Pap, a DVD for Appalachian women that explains the benefits and consequences of vaccination and how to overcome obstacles to complete the vaccine series. The women who watched this 13-minute DVD were 2.44 times more likely to complete the series than the women who did not. Not only does the DVD have the potential to be adapted and used in other underserved areas with high rates of cervical cancer, but it could be used during routine doctor's appointments.
PRC Research Explores Ways to Inform Us About Our Different Options
A cancer diagnosis is no longer an immediate death sentence. A person with a history of cancer is now commonly referred to as a cancer survivor, and there are an estimated 12.5 million cancer survivors as of January 1, 2009. The health care system is faced with the challenge of understanding and meeting the needs of this growing population.
University of Alabama at Birmingham PRC researchers want to understand the factors that women and their physicians consider when making decisions about seeing a gynecologic oncologist for ovarian cancer treatment. Patients who see a gynecologic oncologist generally achieve higher survival rates than those who do not, but less than half of those diagnosed with ovarian cancer do so. By understanding this decision-making process, it may be possible to improve communication regarding treatment options, improve the quality of care, and ultimately achieve longer survival rates of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
PRC Research Raises Cancer Awareness
Tracking cases of cancer through cancer registries and analyzing the data can help identify and address trends of different cancers, guide prevention and awareness efforts, determine progress, and improve health programs. This valuable resource is being used in innovative ways through the PRC program.
Three PRCs (University of California at Los Angeles PRC, University of Michigan PRC, and Emory University PRC) are seeking to generate and deliver effective messages about cancer screening specifically to the people most at risk of developing cancer—cancer survivors and their close relatives. Researchers are using cancer registry data from California, Michigan, and Georgia to identify cancer survivors and their relatives and test cancer screening messages with them. Once tested and refined, these messages could be used to increase cancer screening among similar populations in other states and, over time, help to lower death rates related to cancer.

The Prevention Research Centers Program is a network of academic, community, and public health partners that conducts applied public health research to promote health and prevent disease. Congress authorized the program in 1984, and the first 3 centers were funded 2 years later. Today, 37 centers are located in 27 states, and they reach nearly 30 million people in 103 partner communities. Information about their achievements and work in progress is available on the PRC program's website.

After serving 15 years as a Carmi Township Cemetery Trustee, Kenny Winter has requested to not be re-appointed following the conclusion of his latest term. Winter's request was relayed to the Carmi Township Board of Trustees, which includes Jeff Bohleber, Dave Hall, Anthony Huffer and Roger Heckler Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2013 during the first meeting of the year.
Winter is one of three on the cemetery board that oversees 10 cemeteries in the Carmi Township. Winter joins Jimmy Elder and Eddie Spence in the appointed positions. As a result of the request from Winter, the board brought up Andy Acord to join the three-man team. The appointment was voted on with a unanimous decision to appoint Acord to a six-year term.
In other Township news, Town Clerk Jack Martin conducted regular items on the agenda, which included approving the payment of bills and updating the board on the financial status of the group, which is fiscally healthy.
Also, Jimmie Mallette, supervisor, reported the total revenue, expenses and balances for the month. She also said there were three cases for assistance in December for a total of $950. One request was for general assistance with two submitted as emergency grants for rent.
Greg Stewart, attorney for the board, provided a contract for the assessor position to retain Amy Short in that capacity. All board members signed the document to authorize the continuation of her work for the township.
In the absence of Fred Loyd, road commissioner, Devin Trefftzs, CDL foreman, provided the board with a report from the road crew. The crews hauled 11 loads of brush from the Williams section work that was completed in the fall by Wayne White Electric. Trefftzs noted that Loyd wanted to express his appreciation to them for all of their work on the project.
Trefftzs also noted that Dec. 14, the township assisted the City of Carmi to put in a new culvert at James Street and talked about the response to two significant snowfalls that hit the area at the end of December. In all, Loyd turned in 68 hours of work to clear the roads while Trefftzs turned in 53 hours. Another part-time worker for the department logged 34 hours, which included the removal of a tree that had fallen across Fairview Drive in the early morning hours on Dec. 29. Trefftzs also expressed thanks from the department to the railroad company for the new crossing that was installed at the Bingman Station crossing.
Pam Drone, administrative assistant for the township, also reported for Loyd that a 10-foot blade had been ordered to fit onto the tractor. Loyd had reported to Drone they found out the trucks tend to get stuck in the snow whereas the tractor handled the job much easier. Also, the blades on the trucks were only seven-foot wide so the tractor could cover more ground.

WHEELING - The spirit of compromise remains alive at the U.S. Capitol, according to local federal lawmakers.
The question now is whether members of Congress will choose to actually practice the art of compromise and thus lead the country in a new direction.
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., is the co-founder of the Congressional Civility Caucus.
Article Photos
Photo provided
REP. BILL Johnson, R-Ohio, and members of congress believe the spirit of compromise is alive and well in Washington, D.C.
"I'm an optimist," Capito said. "I believe that we all truly want what's best for our country, however, we may disagree on how to get there.
"The tone of debate and constant bickering has to stop. West Virginians deserve honest, level-headed conversations about how to solve our most pressing challenges."
Rep. David B. McKinley, R-W.Va., suggests the attitude of the American electorate can be mean-spirited, and this often is reflected by elected representatives.
He explained members of Congress receive letters, phone calls and e-mails that can be filled with hateful words and thoughts, and he acknowledged "it affects you."
The spirit of compromise "is still alive in Washington," McKinley said. "It just needs some care. The lack of civility goes beyond our process in Washington, it also comes down to the American public."
Some of the public's comments "are brutal, and you see that's what some people really believe. That lack of civility sticks with you a little bit. And they'll use that against you in campaigns."
Members of Congress do need to respect each other a little better, he continued.
"We don't have to be this way," McKinley commented. "We've allowed the public to keep dumbing us down to the point that it is easier to fight among ourselves than to work together."
That lack of respect between members of Congress was best illustrated late last year when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Speaker John Boehner publicly expressed their disdain for one another during the fiscal cliff negotiations.
Many in Congress also agree that President Obama has been one of the biggest offenders when it comes to compromise.
Washington is a very partisan place, said Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio.
"But that doesn't mean that we should stop trying to find common-sense solutions," he continued. "I am willing to work with anyone - Republican, Democrat, or Independent - to find good ideas that will solve problems. Neither party has a monopoly on good ideas."
He added he has been encouraged to see local elected leaders from all levels of government coming together to discuss ways to maximize the economic benefits of energy production in the Utica and Marcellus shale formations.
No matter what others think, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., believes there isn't that much cooperation at the federal level.
"You've got 75 percent of the congressional districts that are bulletproof, and (members of Congress) don't have to compromise," he said. "If they take the hard left or the hard right, that's the district they represent and they think they're OK. If you're just thinking about yourself and your politics ... I guess you'll be fine if you just leave it like it is.
"But sooner or later you're going to want to do something, or why in the world are you here? I would think people would have better things to do with their lives than not getting anything done," he continued. "They're supposed to be representing the government and moving it forward. To sit there and watch it deteriorate ... you might as well be watching paint dry."
Manchin co-chairs the new No Labels group with former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, a Republican. The group is a national citizen-led effort to change attitudes in Washington and make Congress work.
Manchin, a Democrat, has crossed party lines and voted with the Republicans.
"We need to fix our politics from the inside, but we need help from the outside," Manchin said. "No Labels is the only organization out there that can bring people together to demand that both parties put the country's needs ahead of politics. No Labels can set a whole new standard of what's expected from our national leaders. But we need Americans to help us and demand better than what we're getting now.
"This is a great honor to be asked to work with Jon Huntsman to help No Labels become a catalyst for the big changes we need in Washington," Manchin said. "Jon and I come from different parties, but we come from the same background as governors, where you don't worry about politics you worry about your state and its people."

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold. If $\nabla$ is a linear connection on $M$, I would like to induce a unique linear connection on an open subset $U\subseteq M$. I know that for all $p\in U$ there is a natural isomorphism $T_pU\cong T_pM$, so I can restrict global vector fields to local vector fields on $U$. Unfortunately there are some local vector fields on $U$ that don't came from a restriction of global vector fields.
For this reason I can't find a reasonable linear connection $\nabla^U$ over $U$ induced by $\nabla$. I need help.

Here's the scenario:
- 2 document libraries
- Both contain multiple documents
- The documents have multiple versions
When I copy a document from library A to Library B using the Content and Structure tool from Site Settings, my versions do not carry over. I'm trying to merge the two document libraries into one, but I want to retain the versions.
Do you know of a way to complete this without third party tools or custom code? I've heard suggestions of using Explorer View copy and paste, SharePoint Designer and List Templates, but I'm not sure any of those will carry version info.
Update 1/29/2010: Thanks for all the code suggestions. They will come in handy for other needs, however, I want to stress that this is a no-code deploy situation. Think BPOS.

Is it possible to use information in an access log to identify the true identity of an impostor who has acquired unauthorized access to a computing system (Perhaps by combining several different pieces of information )?
I'd say the answer is possibly. As you have a web server (LAMP stack comment) you have access to the web server logs, so you could log quite a bit of information about visitors to the site, and you might be able to use that to specifically identify someone visiting the site regardless of who they log in as
If you look at something like panopticlick
If you then have access to the client systems of the potential imposter you could use the browser fingerprint to provide evidence that it was them who accessed the system.
Of course if you have a clever attacker they may take steps to foil this approach (anonymising their browser, changing systems etc)
You will be able to log IP addresses, but this is far from "true identity", since one can use proxies, chain shells and so on. Most likely the answer to your question is "no"
Theoretically, the system will not be able to detect unauthorized access, as a false authentication must have taken place first. If it could, there wouldn't be any impostors. How a specific system deals with logging is different in each case. Most, I guess, will log IP addresses, but more detailed information is hard to log.

Franz Kafka: The Office Writings
Edited by Jack Greenberg, Stanley Corngold, & Benno Wagner
{Princeton University Press: 2008}
Edited by Professor Jack Greenberg, Princeton University professor Stanley Corngold, and University of Siegen professor Benno Wagner, Franz Kafka: The Office Writings is a compilation of Kafka's work as a prominent and acclaimed litigator during the first decades of the 20th century.
A renowned literary master, Kafka was also a high-ranking lawyer with the Workmen's Accident Insurance Institute in Germany. The new book celebrates the 125th anniversary of Kafka's birth and brings together for the first time English translations of Kafka's most important professional writing.
The compliation sheds light on Kafka's role as a major contributor to legal reform in the field of workmen's accident insurance. Included are Kafka's perspectives on workmen's compensation and safety, letters arguing for a raise in his salary, and appeals for founding a psychiatric hospital for shell-shocked veterans. Kafka's writing also serves to detail the important issues of his time, such as the invention of the automobile and the dangers of excavating quarries while drunk.
The articles, briefs, and letters included in the compilation show a side of Kafka that is less known: the clever bureaucrat and sharp litigator. The work also highlights his thoughts on social, political, and legal issues specific to his time—much of which are also captured in the novels and stories he penned.
The book includes valuable commentary by Greenberg, one of America's most prominent civil rights lawyers and Columbia Law School's Alphonse Fletcher Professor of Law, and Corngold and Wagner, two of the world's leading Kafka scholars.

Writing is something that I have wanted to do for some time, and I know that I don't currently have the skill set to do more than putter. Are there any shared world story sites that exist? A collaborative site for me to get my feet wet handling a supporting character or two, rather than trying to wrangle the whole plot.
I know of a few shared world out there, some are more open then others it really depends on what sort of genre you're looking to write in.
Up here in Pacific Northwest is a setting called "New Cascadia" which is one of those community sent back in time thing... though in this case it most of western Washington and Oregon. I know there is quiet a bit of writing in that setting, and it's large enough to have room to do something without any trouble, but for the life of me I can't find any website for them.
I'll have to ask around with some of the people who I know have worked on it, though that won't be until the next convention.

Dakota Stones Red Creek Jasper 8x10mm Tumble Nugget Bead Strand
Distinct patterns mix with soothing colors in the Red Creek jasper 8x10mm tumble nugget beads from Dakota Stones. Available in 8-inch strands, these beads have an organic shape resembling rounded nuggets. Red Creek jasper combines softly muted shades of mustard yellow, olive green and burnt red in patterns that look like forest landscapes. Often the material of these beads is strengthened through stabilization. Mined in China, Red Creek jasper is sometimes associated with the zodiac sign of Leo. Red Creek jasper is also known as Cherry Creek jasper, multi-Picasso jasper or red Picasso jasper. These gemstone beads each have their own unique pattern since they are made from natural materials. Dakota Stones offers high-quality gemstones that are all useable in jewelry designs because every bead is checked to ensure they are cut and drilled correctly, that the finish is right and that the beads look distinct to their stone type.

Wheel of Excellence finds a new home at the V&A Waterfront
The Wheel of Excellence has been a firm favourite among Capetonians since it took up residence near the entrance to the V&A Waterfront more than five months ago. We've become accustomed to its gentle revolutions and its twinkling nighttime presence and we brag about it when we talk to friends and family in different cities.
Since it landed on our shores before the start of World Cup, thousands of locals and tourists have flocked to the attraction to enjoy its one of a kind views of the Mother City.
But the Wheel of Excellence has bid adieu to its initial location and is moving to the heart of the V&A Waterfront, until the end of February next year. The wheel will be located on Market Square – a more central location – and will be open to the public from December 3.
Deconstruction of the wheel began on November 15 and will take approximately six days to complete. The wheel will then be reconstructed on Market Square (this will also take about six days) and will undergo various tests and trials before it welcomes visitors aboard.
The wheel was initially brought to Cape Town for the World Cup but its popularity has warranted an extended stay in the Mother City. It's expected to receive thousands of visitors in its new position – which is conveniently located near to the mall and parking areas – this festive season.
Chantelle Kidd, strategic marketing executive of the V&A Waterfront, explains, "It's the ideal activity during the holiday months when people have more time to do fun things, while taking advantage of the warmer summer weather."
The wheel will continue to afford visitors spectacular panoramic views of Cape Town and its surrounds.
The wheel features 36 fully enclosed cabins which can accommodate up to eight people. Adults can take a trip on the wheel for R80, while children aged between 4 and 12 ride for R50.

The Barren River Regional Cancer Center in Glasgow celebrated it's 10th anniversary today with an open house.
They treat 25 to 30 people a day, and have served more than 2,000 from south central Kentucky since opening in 2002. The center provides the same high-quality treatment without having to travel to a larger hospital or university setting.
"If you have cancer, you always want to take the approach that will give you the best care," said patient James Shaw.
The best care is what they aimed to achieve when they opened in 2002, and when they expanded in 2009 to make more room for the most up to date equipment.
"The trilogy linear accelerator we have, we're able to deliver standard 3-D type treatments, but also IMRT, which is a more precise, precision-type treatment," said Radiation Oncologist and Medical Director Dr. Craig Tyree.
It may be this equipment saving lives, but the patients say it's being close to home that makes all the difference.
"A car ride may not seem like it's that stressful, but when you're in a situation like some of these patients are, every minute less that you're traveling makes a huge difference," said Tyree.
Those trips can be frequent for many.
"There are forty four continuous treatments five days a week, so Monday through Friday, you're going to have to go," said Shaw.
Another patient says another perk of "hometown" treatment is the connections you form with other patients that live near you.
"I've gotten acquainted with them by them having the same problem I had, and did the same treatments," said patient Arvel Riddle.
Riddle says having that support group makes the battle that much easier. Both Riddle and Shaw say their treatments have been effective. Riddle is in remission, and Shaw says he's already seen positive feedback from his recent treatments.

Generally, multi-city air fares are much higher than round trip fares. Let's say I'm getting these flights (A->B->C->B->A) and I am staying in first B and C. It is actually a round trip with additional stay in first B. How can I get the best deal on this journey?
There is really no 'trick' to this type of travel. If you want to book this as a single itinerary then the only 'trick' is to go to as many booking sites (brokers and airlines) as you can manage and do price comparisons. It helps to have some flexibility in the dates.
If you don't mind booking multiple tickets, probably the best deal on this trip will be to buy two round trip tickets. First A->B->A and then, separately, B->C->B with the latter ticket being within the time you spend in city B.
The main issue with this is that these are independent tickets. If flight A->B is delayed, causing you to miss B->C then you are responsible for buying a new B->C ticket.
Since you plan on staying in B before proceeding to C, this will only be a problem on your return journey where a delay in C->B can cause you to miss B->A. Ideally, you should split your stay in B to ensure against this. At minimum ensure that you have 3+ hours stopover on the way back (more if the flight B->A is an expensive one).
Lastly, it is worth pricing individual flights from A->B, B->C and C->A. Typically, you wont save any money over two round trip tickets, but sometimes it may wind up only costing a little bit more and you get a simpler leg C->A. This will vary depending on what cities A, B and C are and how they relate to each other. Also if an airline has its hub in A and offers flight to both B and C (but has no flights between B and C) they may sell you a return ticket with the legs A->B and C->A.
This all depends on what cites A, B and C stand for. I did a trip like this recently where A was Reykjavik, B Washington D.C. and C San Francisco. It wound up being simplest to book A->B and C->A (via Seattle actually) as a return ticket with one airline and then B->C as a separate one-way ticket with another airline. Doing it this way was actually a bit cheaper (although only a bit) but the flight home via Seattle was much shorter then to go back home via D.C.
Another option that doesn't appear to be mentioned is to book a round-trip ticket from A->B, and a round trip ticket from B->C. The result is that you have an A->B->C->B->A flight with two return tickets, which often works out cheaper than booking one-way tickets or segments (in Europe/Australia/USA, not so much in South America, however).
If it's getting complicated, a travel agent or Flightfox (crowd-sourced expert search engine) might do it for you, as they generally have more knowledge on how to lower the prices and what's available. Of course, they'll also charge you for the service :/
Just want to share a few general tips:
To name a few sites that could help you figure out the above:
You might also try booking a single A->B flight, and then combined B->C->A (if you are not really stopping in B on the way back).

text: I am going to divide this tutorial into two parts. This first part deals with me just looking at a picture of a car and drawing it without using strict perspective or measurements. The second part will deal with me drawing from the same picture but using knowledge that I gained from this first attempt. This first lesson will also reveal my many mistakes and hopefully keep you from making them as well. I truly am not happy with how this turned out BUT I would rather teach through my mistakes than hide them or throw them away. So here we go with part one of two!

STEUBENVILLE - Kelly Schoonover cried while she listened to family members talk about her son.
Approximately a dozen people braved the wind and cold temperatures Monday afternoon to remember Joshua Schoonover, who was shot and killed six years ago on Kendall Avenue.
"Thank goodness for the ones who are here today. Our numbers are dwindling, but we still remember Joshua and the fact his murder remains unsolved after six years," Kelly said as family members tried in vain to light candles.

A TIME FOR TEARS — A ceremony marking the sixth anniversary of the murder of Joshua Schoonover was held Monday afternoon on Kendall Avenue. Taking part in the event were Nikki Schoonover, left, a sister of Joshua; Kim Taylor, his fiancee; and their son, Joshua Schoonover Jr. - Dave Gossett
Kelly Schoonover still can remember her last conversation with her son.
"We all had dinner together that evening. He was leaving and we always told each other 'I love you' when we left. I told him I loved him and gave him a kiss and he left. Then a minute later he came back in the door and grabbed something from the snack basket. He smiled at me from the door and said he loved me. That was the last time I saw him alive," she recalled.
"I heard him come in later that night. Then I heard him go out and close the front door. I figured he was going home. I wish I had gotten up that night. I am his mother and I have the pain of losing my son every day I wake up," said Kelly Schoonover.
"I know someone knows what happened that night. And I feel we need to have the candlelight vigil so the public will remember this isn't resolved. This is still an open case," Kelly Schoonover pointed out.
"I was told he may have went to a party on Kendall Avenue. That is just down the street from my house. But I never heard a thing until the telephone rang that day," she related.
"Six years later and no one has been charged with murdering Josh. But we must pray for justice. The persons who are responsible for this still walk the streets and are with their families. I pray to God my son will have justice," she added.
"Everyone knows what happened that night. But no one has come forward. I don't care if I have to come here for the next 25 years. I will keep coming back here to celebrate my brother's life. He was the heart of our family. We must continue doing what he would want us to do and that means we need to love one another, get an education and celebrate Josh's life," said Nikita Schoonover.
Her sister, Nikki Schoonover, read a poem and noted "Joshua will forever be in our lives. We miss his smiling face.
"There has been a lot of evidence collected but some people don't care what happened to our brother," said Nikki.
"Today is the worse day of my life," stated Kim Taylor.
Taylor was engaged to Joshua at the time of his death.
They had a son, Joshua Jr., who stood quietly with his mother during the memorial service.
"I cannot move on. I dream about Joshua and cry all the time. The one person I ever loved was taken away. It makes me so sad that something like this happened to us and happens to other people. All I can do now is keep reminding people of Joshua and maybe God will help us find justice," Taylor said.
"But even worse is knowing there is a murderer walking around free. There are people who know exactly what happened that morning and they know who murdered Josh. But no one is talking," said Taylor.
That wall of silence that has frustrated Taylor for nearly a year now also has stymied City Police.
"We have talked to 57 witnesses about this case. We are hopeful that the people at the scene that morning will talk to someone else. And that person will talk to another person. We know the murder happened on the street and we are hoping someone who was in the area will come forward," said Police Chief Bill McCafferty.
"The people who live in this community owe it to themselves to help us solve this murder. We won't tolerate this type of crime in our community. Sooner or later, someone will talk about the murder and I believe someone will come forward. When we receive new information we follow up on that information," said McCafferty.
According to Police Capt. Joel Walker, "We have ideas of what took place that night. But due to the fact no actual witnesses will come forward, makes it very hard to solve this murder."
One year after the Schoonover murder Walker issued a public appeal for help.
"Come forward and talk to us confidentially. There was a party that night on the same street and a lot of people were in the area. There are people who know what happened and they need to come forward," Walker said
"The people we have talked to heard things. We had an initial report of shots ringing out. Our community wants us to solve this crime. But the people who know won't assist us by coming forward with information. Witnesses or anyone who knows anything can tell us what they know confidentially. We have talked to every witnesses we could find but no one is telling us anything substantial. No one wants to solve this case more than us, his mom and his fiancee. We are dedicated to solving this murder," Walker added.
"Josh would do anything for anyone. He would never pick a fight with anyone. He always had a smile for everyone and I can tell you he really loved his children," said Kelly Schoonover.
"Nothing will ever ease my pain of losing my son. My son wouldn't fight with someone else. I just wish the person who killed him had just taken what they wanted and left him alone. I have been told there may have been a fight that night. I know for certain Josh didn't have a gun and so I don't know why the other person had to use a gun. I just want answers," she said.

I think Erich's review of Season 5 raises a very good question: what now with the DVD releases?
I personally would LOVE to see Season 6 actually issued on DVD. However, I seriously doubt it's going to happen. I think (but am not sure) that these DVDs are Broadway Video (i.e. Lorne) driven. If memory serves, there was a minor dispute back in the day over the rights to SNL -- NBC asserted that it had the exclusive IP rights to the broadcast shows, but Lorne wanted producer control, and yadda yadda yadda, and in the end it was all settled as part of Lorne's hug-it-out-bitches reconciliation with NBC after Ebersol decided he didn't want to produce anymore. I know Lorne (Broadway Video) wound up with the rights to the vast majority of the SNL shows. But what I'm not sure is whether Lorne got ALL of them. Everything I've read indicates that he hates the Doumanian shows with a passion; he felt that Jean stabbed him in the back by agreeing to produce the show after his walk-out, and he thinks the comedy is sub-par and is/was an insult to the show's reputation. That's why you never, ever, ever, ever see those shows in the syndication packages -- he's buried them like Lucas has buried the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Also, season 6 is only a half-season, due to the writer's strike that year, which may count against it.
So if Lorne is calling the shots, I really doubt we'll see season 6.
Assuming we never see that -- season 7 is a heck of a season, and I'd be happy to see it released.
