TORONTO - The Beallsville Blue Devils used a little defense, a little power running, and a lot of Gage Steele to spoil Toronto's Homecoming Friday.
Led by Steele's 128 yards rushing, 60 yards receiving, two touchdowns, and two interceptions on defense, the Blue Devils controlled the Red Knights from start to finish en route to a 27-7 win at Clarke Hinkle Stadium.
"Gage is capable of having games like that," said Beallsville head coach Paul Kanzigg. "He's had a couple of other games where he just stood out. That's the type of ballplayer he is. He's capable of doing all that.

LOOKING FOR ROOM — Toronto's Chez Glenn looks for running room during Friday's 27-7 Homecoming loss to Beallsville.
"He's a hard runner, he was injured earlier in the year, and we're lucky to have him and some others back."
Added Meek about his team's loss, "First off I want to give credit to Beallsville. I'm a little embarrassed offensively and defensively.
"I thought that was probably our worst played game of the year, which at this time of year there's no excuse for that. We played well the last two weeks, and tonight we didn't play well.

"It's just one of those nights, but at this time of year there's no excuses to perform like that."
Beallsville had things moving from the night's opening possession. Starting things off with great field position at their own 44-yard line, the Blue Devils marched down to score on eight plays.
Steele and quarterback Teryn Jarrett were the main forces on the drive with Steele garnering a run of 11 yards, Jarrett breaking off a 22-yard run, and the two connecting on an 11-yard pass and a three-yard score. Mason Campbell kicked the point after for the 7-0 Beallsville lead.
"Give Beallsville credit," said Meek. "They had a long bus ride, came in, played well, and we didn't. It was not a good performance on our part."
After a Red Knights' three-and-out, the Blue Devils went back to work. This time they marched 78 yards on 13 plays for the score. Jarrett and Steel connected three times on the drive for 35 yards and Steele carried the ball five times for 26 yards.
Bruce Sefert got in the mix, carrying the rock three times for 14 yards, including a two-yard score to cap the six minute, eight second drive. Campbell's point after gave Beallsville the 14-0 advantage late in the first quarter.
"It feels fantastic because they have a quality ball team, and they have a lot of speed," said Kanzigg. "We've been scoring a lot of points, but we've given up a lot of points too.
"We thought if we could come out and control the ball to keep their offense contained a little bit it would be a good strategy. Even though we score a lot of points, we knew how much they could score."
Sefert scored again with just over five minutes left in the first half, this time from eight yards out to cap a five-play, 49-yard voyage. The extra point bounced off the crossbar no good following a five-yard penalty, but Beallsville led 20-0.
Toronto found a little life about midway through the third quarter. Chez and Blaze Glenn made up the entire scoring drive with Chez Glenn carrying the ball twice for 38 yards, Blaze Glenn twice for seven yards, and the two hooking up for a 20-yard score on a screen pass. Joey Chadwick's PAT cut the lead to 20-7.
On the ensuing possession the Blue Devils answered. Marching 80 yards in 12 plays, Beallsville finished off the Red Knights. Sefert and Steele were the main cogs in the drive with Sefert gaining 24 yards on 5 touches while Steele tallying 26 yards on four carries, including a scoring run of four yards. Jarrett completed two passes for 30 yards on the drive as well, and Campbell's third point after set the score at 27-7.
"The line stepped up and played tonight," said Kanzigg. "We've had lots of injuries, but they came together, and played well tonight against this team."
Offensively the Blue Devils garnered 22 first downs on the evening. Sefert joined Steele with a nice game on the ground, tallying 84 yards on 17 rushes to go with his two scores, as Beallsville racked up 244 yards on 43 run plays.. Jarrett completed 13-of-24 passes for 151 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
"The last two weeks we were very aggressive," said Meek. "Tonight we were not. We went back to tackling and playing against the run like we did earlier in the year.
"I've done this a long time, and I've never really been baffled, but I'm not happy with our performance."
The Red Knights were held to just 146 yards of offense. Chez Glenn led the team with seven carries for 43 yards and two catches for 29 yards and a score. Nate Stewart caught three passes for 21 yards. Blaze Glenn was 9-for-20 for 91 yards a touchdowns and two picks.
"We contained them pretty well," said Kanzigg. "That was our focus all week, to contain the quarterback.
"We wanted to make him run up the middle where we had help because from what I'd seen if he got outside he was going to kill you."
Toronto (2-5) travels to Conotton Valley Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Beallsville (2-5) travels to Bridgeport Friday.

Progressive income tax still bad idea
I decided to break my own rules again and move away from science in this week's column, but who's counting? Plus, it's been a joyous 10 days in Washington, D.C., with the president's vowing to use executive powers to "fix" climate change. I can imagine what that means.
I sometimes get the feeling I've been talking to doorknobs. Anyway, I digress!

"Fossils, Energy, and Global Warming"
Tuesday, February 5, 2013
12:45 PM to 2:00 PM, Room #333 Waterbury Uconn on East main street.
Interested in aspects of global warming? This lecture is designed for those without a strong scientific background. The origin of the greenhouse effect arising from carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases will be discussed, along with the source of newly arising carbon dioxide, and the expected effects from higher carbon dioxide on the earth's climate.
Henry E. Auer, PhD has always had a strong interest in global warming and related issues. He has a Global Warming Blog at http://warmgloblog.blogspot.com. A seasoned scientist with many years in research and development both in the biotechnology industry and as a medical school faculty member. He holds an A.B. in chemistry from Princeton, and a PhD in biochemistry from Harvard.
You know James, if you had an ounce of courage and really felt strongly about the crap you sprue on the editorial pages here, you'd show up and make your case.
I know I'll be there. "

Regardless of whatever point of view anyone has on global warming, climate change, or whatever they are calling it these days, the data they are basing these theories off of is only from the last 100 years, maybeeee 200 years. And for what, to judge the health of a planet that has existed in its current state for at least the past 4.5 billion years. I will say that I believe the earth probably has natural phasic cycles of cooling and warming, and it is possible, that ever since we started recording data, we have only been on an uptick (although like most liberal arguments, I can show you actual data proving the contrary) and who knows, maybe in 5000 years we will start cooling again.
Global warming, global cooling, climate change, whatever you want to call it. The Earth is an ecosystem, and a self-correcting one, given its size and scale. There is money to be made by people who push a global warming agenda, who push "green" technologies and radical environmentalist policies. Case and point, Al Gore is laughing is way to the bank because of all of these reasons, and his last play of the game was selling out to big oil.
George Carlin said it best. If you get a chance, watch George Carlin on the Environment. "

Barrante's Climate Change views are in the minority. And I believe they're bought and paid for. He sold out.
You have the attitude like many here, that if a liberal says something, then you automatically must take an opposing view.
That's not honest or fair or intelligent. Why don't you accept by invite to Henry E. Auer's lecture at WTBY Uconn.
It will give you a chance to listen to a different side of climate change that you'll never see with this newspaper. "
GeorgeK wrote on Jan 31, 2013 1:25 PM:
The issue I have with liberals are that while they are good with language, they aren't very good with facts. A liberal can do a fantastic job of painting emotion with words. "For the children", "You're heartless", "You want people to starve/freeze", "The earth is going to burn", "It's humane", "It's fair", "Social Justice for all"... the list goes on and on. However, I am unprovoked by emotion. I mean, don't get me wrong, I feel bad when somebody dies or happy when somebody gets married or born, but when it comes down to the day to day affairs that affect me, I like cold hard facts. And honestly, the libs just don't have them on their side. Great language, complete lack of facts. This is why you find that a large amount of professors in college are liberal, they probably teach language or some tenant of it. Great with language, no facts. You will find that hard and fast science professors of your chemistry and physics variety will be conservative, or libertarian. They eat, chew and digest facts everyday. That is what makes me libertarian. I just need facts. Solid, well-thought out and conducted research.
With climate change, I have seen a lot more language than facts. The climate community hasn't even agreed to one particular model to follow. Some say the earth will be scorched next year yet others say it'll be cold by the time we are extinct. Yet, there is no shortage of propaganda out there showing me how evil my plastic bottle is, or polar bears falling out the sky smacking into the ground because I drive a car or fly a plane. I mean, this **** is just stupid.
If you want to convince me the earth is getting warmer, show me some good data that was achieved by use of the scientific method and truthful scholarly work, and I just might believe you.
Until then, I whole heartedly intend on buying the biggest diesel truck I can next year. They are good, durable trucks, get decent mileage, get you anywhere you need to go, can tow whatever I need, have plenty of cargo room, they're safe and they're (mostly) American. Try doing that with a Prius or Smart Car. "

You say, "If you want to convince me the earth is getting warmer, show me some good data that was achieved by use of the scientific method and truthful scholarly work, and I just might believe you".
Well it is a fact that last year was the warmest year on record. That's a fact.
Satelite photos show massive amounts of the artic circle melting. That's a fact.
I was at a lecture at Avery Point ( Eastern CT college) and the professor told us how (through scientific studies)the warming created less differences in temperature and therefore less wind and how that was affecting the planet.
There are plenty more pieces of evidence, in fact Barrante opinions are in the minority. Now I didn't say they were wrong - I just said they were in the minority. An issue I have is this newspaper never lets its readership see a rebuttal.
George, its just that it appears to me that many people on BOTH sides will first determine if the issue is liberal or conservative , then choose the side they're affiliated with, then finally look for the facts.
Now the question I have for you is ,
"do you really believe the earth's climate isn't making significant changes to our planet?" Or is it that you'll never take a liberals viewpoint? "

The professor was talking about the ocean winds and how the warming had caused less differences in temperature and therefore less ocean winds. He explained how the wind takes water from the waves and puts it into the atmosphere and how that affects the land masses. All this was scientifically measured and documented.
I feel that seeing a professor with a different opinion than Barrante's on the editorial pages (like other newspapers do) would be good for the whole community.
Am I wrong? "
GeorgeK wrote on Jan 31, 2013 6:58 PM:
One year, has been the warmest on record, since what, the past 200 years? Is it trending warmer? Not really, 3 years ago, many places across the northern hemisphere set record lows during the winter. I could care less, liberal or conservative. I am not convinced the earth is going to melt based off a hundred years worth of data, we are talking about a planet whose age is in the billions. What if we find out that ice caps melting and refreezing is just part of the natural phasic cycle that the earth goes through. Maybe the span of time this cycle takes is 20,000 years. Maybe long after we're gone, the earth will freeze again. Massive ice caps. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe the earth is permanently targeted towards a warmer course. Is it because of humans, I doubt it. If the best argument that humans are causing this is a few cars and power plants, which have only been around en masse for 60 years or so, I am not remotely convinced. Cars and power plants have become wildly more efficient and cleaner without green technology policy and initiatives. And yet the earth is getting warmer? Please. Honestly, its not even the theories that get me here, it's the conceit that some people think some oil and a few plastic bags are going to cause the earth to burst into flames. All this stuff came from the earth, and over a very long period of time, it will go back into it. Everything has a half life, nothing is forever, not even plastic. I truly believe, that if it is getting warmer we are merely seeing a sliver of time during a much larger phase which is part of the natural climate cycle of the earth. "

One of the first things found was an article from around 1928, declaring that the polar ice caps were melting, and complete with pictures of rocks sticking up through the snow, where the ice cap used to be.The scientific community was all atwitter.
That was 1938. Obviously it self- corrected in the meantime, and we are now on another cycle.
The scientists spew their claptrap because that is their bread and butter. To Scare people,, 'a comet is coming, the caps are melting, the sea is rising, etc.etc..

Fail, the opening sentence is copied from the tutorial section.
Custom recording! Brilliant! \o/
Will the uploaded videos include sound this time around ?
What Suzie MUFC said. I was really hoping for that and now it's in the game.
www.fmbosnia.com - The game starts here
Not bad, I can see youtube being funny for multiplayer. I'll upload goals and remind people for years. Still, all of what has been announced so far have been 'add-ons' to the peripheral stuff. I'm interested to hear about the MATCH ENGINE.
Are 1v1's fixed?
are long shots fixed?
corners to near/far post too effective
long throws simply don't ever work...
and so on.
Seems like a big improvement, although i rarely used it in FM 11 .. the possibility of adding/removing leagues each season(?) had me this year, i don't really need anything else

FM is my ANTI-social obsession. If I started filling up my Facebook site with my FM highlights I wouldn't have a social network for very long.
Don't really see the point of putting FM animations on the web. A waste of time and effort.
Loving this, custom videos will be brilliant for tactical blogs and the like. Excellent addition
Will there be more things in the game that I can tweet about? New jobs, player transfers, results etc.
Social networking in a game that is the very definition of the pale bedroom solo-nerd.
It's the equivalent of having a clown in Eastenders or someone talented on the X Factor.
I think I know where SI gets so many clicking things to make things happen in the game.
How about quoting the blog post when you post this thread? Currently it's "oh new blog" "click" "click through to blog post" "click back to forums to talk about it"
It's not that big of a deal. But in keeping things easier to access not just on the forums, website, blogs, and Football Manager it would be more efficient to have people click less, overall.
Ok - the new features look great. I'm not that much into uploading things to social sites. But I'm tickled by the inclusion of Tick Boxes to select multiple things, not the only area I've seen them in too. That alone is something I've wanted since FM07.
The one thing I don't get, is why would you want to broadcast "I've been playing this game for 100 hours wooo" to the world, whose opinion may be less than favourable of it. That said I've played Team Fortress 2 for 1962 hours so I can talk.
Some people like to broadcast on to youtube, twitter and facebook. It caters for them.
If you don't use it, then don't. It's optional.
I see two uses for this youtube application . If you are making a tactical blog it could add real depht to it if properly used. Another would be if you tend to play FM with another person. Like me and my friend used to meet and watch the game on the telly and play FM in the meantime. Now he´s moved to Australia, on the other side of the glope so this will be brilliant if I want to show him something or just brag.
I personally don´t see any other uses for this youtube thing. However I don´t see any uses at all for the Facebook or Twitter things. Can't imagine it would take long before all my friends would block me if I keep posting some FM statuses there :P
Am I the only one who is thinking of an SI Forum MOTD thread now?
Yay custom highlights. Now the highlights will actually be like realistic highlights instead of just goals.
Maybe FM13 you can record your voice to the highlight package within FM if you have a mic? Just an idea..
Add to Ignore List is a great feature on this forum.
I don't use this, but obviously some people do and the custom highlights looks good.
Can SI answer a couple of questions please:
1. Can you say what the blogs are going to be about before you post them or not?
2. Are you doing any blogs over the weekend? ( You didn't say anything like we will be back tommorow or that's it for this week)
Thanks and all the blogs so far only seem to be further improving the game in my eyes.

I'm worried about the midfielder going sideways
I think it's a accurate modelling of Gareth Barry c.WC2010!
More useless crap only 1% of players care about
I won't be using the Twitter/Facebook functions, but I already love the Custom Highlights feature.
One of the least interesting blogs and features for me too, but I can understand why they've implemented these.
The disadvantage of this feature is that idiots are going to spend the time saved by not having to edit videos heavily by putting some annoying music over it instead.
I read that we'll have to chance to save custom highlights directly on our hard disk, I'd like to know their format: .avi or .pkm?

The ultimate for all American land speed racers was/is Bonneville. For many, their paths lead to the Indianapolis 500. The all-American racers who competed at Indy from its inception to the '50s would give way to the foreign influence in the '60s.
John Cooper had radically changed the design of his Formula 1 Grand Prix car from front-engine to rear-engine with Jack Brabham winning the F1 World Championship in a rear-engine Cooper in 1959, forcing every F1 team to follow suit. The rear-engine revolution was coming our way. It was either join them or get left in their methanol fumes. Of course the hot rodders weren't about to let that happen. With our abundance of resourcefulness we let it be known we weren't quite finished with Indy. So the Yanks and Brits teamed up (as we've been known to do in the past) to speed the demise of the front-engine roadsters. Bill Fowler, one of those all-American racers, from Sylmar, California, was there.
"I went to Roosevelt High School in East L.A.," began Bill (born in 1930). "I had a Model A roadster in school, pretty much a stocker. I was lucky to have a car because my parents didn't have a lot of money. I paid for it with my newspaper money. After I graduated in 1948, I went into the Air Force. After I got through basic training, I went back home and I drove my roadster to Amarillo, Texas, … it was a fun trip because I'd never done anything like that before in my bone-stock Model A. It never missed a beat during the trip.
"I went into aircraft engine mechanic school, graduating at the top of my class and I became an instructor. I had the Model A all through the service; at one point I had enough money to put a Cragar overhead-valve cylinder head on the engine. I had the roadster for seven years."
While in high school Bill took the Red Car (trolley) into downtown L.A. and sold newspapers on the corner of 7th and Broadway: "The newsstand is where I saw the first issues of Hot Rod magazine; that's how I learned about Bonneville and wanted to go and race there one day."
Bill realized his dream and went to Bonneville in 1954, hauling his Harley behind his '46 Ford pickup, sleeping in the truck once there. "I didn't know the kid who went up there with me," says Bill. "He was riding a Triumph but didn't have a way to get there and I had room for two bikes in my truck. He was hurt really bad when he lost control of the bike because he was only wearing swim trunks, like Rollie Free, when he crashed. He felt the trunks had the least wind resistance. Back then, you didn't have to have the fancy boots, leathers, and a helmet like today." (Free positioned himself flat with his feet sticking straight out the back of his Vincent Black Lightning motorcycle with a shower cap, a bathing suit, and sneakers, resulting in a record and the most famous photo in motorcycling history, in 1948.)
"I had my Harley all the time I was in the Air Force and rode it home on leave to California, it always handled beautifully but it did not want to go straight down that salt. It was hunting all the way down and I wasn't real comfortable riding the thing. I went 135 mph on my Knucklehead Harley on gas at Bonneville and it was scary!
"After my discharge, Jerry Eisert and I started a small tune-up and speed shop in Montebello, California, called Automotive Specialty, in 1955. We had customers who had hot rods and customers who had sports cars."
Stromberg 97s
On What?
If you're a collector and find a Ferrari Mille Miglia with Stromberg 97s instead of Webers bolted to the V-12, don't pull them off because here's how that happened: "That's how I got started with Frank Arciero. He had a little 1.9L Mille Miglia Ferrari. His mechanic didn't know anything about the Weber carburetors, so he put Stromberg 97s on it. That's when Arciero brought the Ferrari over to us to see if we could get it to run right."
You can't fault the mechanic for throwing the Italian jugs in the trash because the Ferrari won 9 out of 11 races with the 97s after Bill fine-tuned them.
"Arciero came to the United States when he was 18. Arciero and his two brothers started digging ditches that were footings for the slab concrete floors in homes. Eventually he was able to buy his own trenching machine and became a big general contractor.
"The more Arciero worked with us the more he wanted Eisert and I to go to the races with him. Eventually, Arciero made me an offer in 1958 to work for him full time.
"Eisert bought me out and when I left he hired Jerry Kugel. Kugel would hang out outside, so Eisert finally told him, 'If you're going to hang out here, grab a broom and do something", and boy did he ever. You know the rest of the story—he later formed Kugel Komponents.
Vette A Hot Rod?
Visualize a two-seat fuelie with a small-block Chevy shoehorned in it, with four on the floor. Could be your roadster, right? This one went straight big-time-fast but could turn left and right and stopped pretty well (with cerametallic brakes). What you had back in 1957-58 was a few Corvettes that GM modified for road racing and used ones were fairly cheap. Hot rodders raced them on the local California road courses in the '50s and some went on to bigger and better things.
"I raced a Vette that belonged to Willie Kristie that I got down to the lap record, which was two minutes flat on the road course at Willow Springs. The owner of another Corvette, Cal Bailey, was at Willow and asked me if I'd drive his car as he (Bailey) was looking for a driver. After I did, Bailey said, 'I had a guy in that car last week and he was 3 seconds under the lap record.' I said, you'd better hire him. That guy was Dan Gurney." (Stranger than fiction: Bailey later tried to kidnap Firestone company president Leonard Firestone and was killed trying.)
Gurney was a Riverside, California, hot rodder with a '37 Ford two-door headed to Bonneville in 1950. He drove his buddy Skip Hudson's '29 Ford roadster with its '41 Ford 267-inch Flathead V-8 down the salt to 130.43 mph. Gurney later raced a Triumph TR2 at Torrey Pines (near San Diego) in 1955 and won his first race in 1956 at Montgomery Field in San Diego driving a Porsche Speedster.
"The driver who drove Arciero's 1.9 Ferrari decided he didn't want to drive Arciero's newly acquired 4.9 Ferrari [from Tony Parravano], which was a lot faster, so we thought of Gurney." (Parravano was a wealthy building contractor who had some of the finest drivers in amateur racing at the time, like Bob Drake, Richie Ginther, Phil Hill, and Carroll Shelby, drive for him.)
Great choice because Gurney started racking up wins in the Ferrari on the airport courses of Santa Barbara and Palm Springs, plus Pomona and at Paramount Ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains above Malibu. Bill kept the Ferrari in top racing trim for the talented young driver.
"I'd always wanted to go to Indy. I'd listened to it on the radio as a kid and when I was stationed in Texas I asked for a three-day pass over Memorial Day weekend to go to Indy in 1952 and was denied. I was all keyed-up to go so I went anyway! Watching the race is when I got hooked on Indy. I was teaching mechanic school so I didn't get in too much trouble and got out soon after. But that's how much Indy meant for me to go."
Bill finally went to the Speedway, not as a spectator but as a competitor in 1959, towing the 4.2L Maserati V-8 in Arciero's Kurtis 500-C: "I towed it behind Arciero's company truck that had 'Montebello Sewer' lettered on the door (you'd be laughed out of town today). I took a sleeping bag and it was so cold I ripped up the bag so I could wear it while driving the pickup. It didn't have a heater.
"That was my first shot at Indy," Bill reminisces. "Shorty Templeman was the driver. We didn't qualify because all the engines were required to run dry sump systems and the scavenger pump on the Mauser V-8 wasn't keeping up with the oil pressure pump and we were blowing oil out the rear seal."
Before All American Racers
The Formula 1 teams didn't want their drivers looking on where the cars were being built. "When Enzo Ferrari saw Gurney in the garage area he took him aside and said, 'When you drive for Ferrari, not to worry … you get in the car, you drive, you win.' Ferrari didn't want Gurney asking questions and concerning himself about his race cars."
Gurney wanted to be more than a driver and made the decision to start his own company. At that point he was already an international Grand Prix star with a huge following in the United States; "Dan Gurney for President" bumper stickers were the rage proclaiming his popularity.
Gurney decided to control his own destiny. Bill and Gurney had formed a bond of respect for one another's ability during the Arciero days. Gurney chose Bill as his first employee: "Gurney opened a little 40x40-foot shop in Costa Mesa and called it Dan Gurney Racing in 1960 (renamed All American Racers in 1965). That's when I went to work for him. Carroll Shelby and Gurney teamed up. Shelby knew where to get the money and got us started with Goodyear.
"When we first started, I did the engines … I did everything. I'd pull them down, Magnaflux the crank and rods, lap the valves, and get the cars ready for the next race.
"When the first 409 Chevy came out in 1961, Gurney had this idea of taking the Chevy to England to race it in the saloon (sedan) races. We bought the 409 at Don Steve's Chevrolet in La Habra. Gurney and I went to Van Nuys to the Chevy plant and watched the car being built, and then I drove it to Montebello, tore it apart, and made a race car out of it.
"I got a call when I was in Vegas on my honeymoon that Gurney needed the Chevy over in England ASAP. Could I take it to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and put it on a ship? We had our honeymoon in that car," Bill laughs. "I drove it to New York. I put it on a ship, then Carolyn and I flew home."
A wheel broke while Gurney was leading the 3.8 Jags at Silverstone Circuit, the site of the British Grand Prix. Nevertheless he thrilled the crowd, many of which had never heard the sound of a big-inch American V-8 before. (I was in the crowd, a lowly PFC in the Army and I watched with pride Gurney driving the uncorked booming 409 Chevy with Cal plates. Wow! —Dick Martin)
Where's The Motor?
Gurney was no stranger to a rear-engine configuration Champ Car at Indy having qualified eighth fastest in Mickey Thompson's rear-engine Buick V-8 powered Harvey Aluminum Special in 1962. He was in Ninth Place when the gearbox packed up.
Gurney felt the front-engine roadsters were nearing the end of their successful run and invited Lotus boss, Colin Chapman, to Indy in 1962 to the 500. A deal was struck between Ford Motor Company and Chapman to build a total of three cars: a prototype, one for Clark, and one for Gurney. A prototype Lotus was shipped first for testing: "I went to LAX in March 1963 and picked up the Lotus Ford prototype," Bill says.
"I rented a U-Haul truck, drove it to the airport, and got the Lotus cleared through customs. They loaded it from a pallet to where I could roll it into the back of the truck and tie it down, and then I headed for Kingman, Arizona, to Ford's Proving Ground facility. The prototype that I picked up was symmetrical; they hadn't made the offset suspension for turning left yet.
"Jimmy Clark, Colin Chapman, and Gurney were already there when I got to the track. Clark and Chapman had never seen the desert so it was a new experience for them. Gurney and Clark began running laps with it. Nobody had run on the Ford Proving Ground track. The oval had progressive banking so it was possible to run the car around the track without touching the steering wheel at whatever speed you wanted to run, the car would seek its own grove. It wasn't much good for getting handling sorted out but it was good for putting miles on the car."
While a front engine Watson/Offy won the 500 with Parnelli Jones in 1963, Clark finished Second, and Gurney finished Seventh, both with rear 255ci pushrod Ford engines. The overhead cam Offys were cranking out 400 horses to the Ford's 375 hp. Things would never be the same.
"I'd make out a list of things that needed to be done on a given car and go to work on it … brakes, steering, etc. Being the chief mechanic I did whatever needed to be done. It was a 365 days a year job. As soon as a car was ready, I'd be on my way to the next racetrack. I eventually became the team manager when Bobby Unser began driving for Gurney.
"I was always concerned with safety. I was the first one to put a shoulder harness in a sports car. I put it in the Lotus 19. I used aircraft refueling caps instead of the LeMans-type fuel filler cap (the spring-loaded cap flips up by pressing down on a roller latch) where it could open if the car crashed or rolled over. Dan never spent a day in the hospital from driving a car that I prepared."
Gurney introduced the first Eagle in 1966 and was the first American in the 100-year history of Formula 1 competition to win a race in a car of his own construction at the Belgian Grand Prix in 1967—a record yet to be duplicated.
Jeff Scott wrote in the June '67 issue of Auto Racing magazine: "Do Americans stand a chance against the better-prepared Europeans? What Gasoline Alley needs is fresh designing blood. The only American who has shown tremendous promise at Indianapolis with cars of his own design is Dan Gurney. Of course Gurney is young and not a traditional Gasoline Alley type. He has much Formula 1 experience both as a driver and builder. One of his cars could do it this year at the 500." (A.J. Watson may be astounded to learn that Gurney built 106 Indy Eagles.)
Gotta Go
Bill, ever the practical joker; his shtick was known as "Fowlerisms" throughout All American Racers (AAR). Kathy Weida, vice president of AAR and Gurney's personal secretary, started in May 1974 and got a taste of Bill's skullduggery on her second week on the job as the Girl Friday: "I went to pick up my purse and Bill had attached it with a bunch of fire crackers, so when I pulled my purse away from the desk they all went off. Bill and the guys were hiding in the hallway laughing.
"Bill put a pair of stuffed pants with a pair of shoes in the men's stall to look like someone was in there. When our vice president at the time, an ex-banker, went in to the men's room the guy was still in the stall. He went in several times and the person was still in the stall. He kept going into the shop to see who was missing," Kathy laughs.
From 1,500-Pound Race
Cars To 30-Ton Locomotives
"I went from AAR to O'Conner Engineering in Costa Mesa. We built two vintage full-sized steam locomotives (The Central Pacific Jupiter and the Union Pacific 119) in 1979 for the National Parks Service. We had about six people to start. It took three years to build the replicas, and then I went to the National Park in Promontory Summit, Utah, and stayed on as a locomotive engineer for five years."
Promontory Summit is the site of the transcontinental railroad where the Union Pacific Railroad joined the Central Pacific in May 1869, completing the coast to coast connection.
Skip Marketti, curator of the Nethercutt Museum in Sylmar, California, told us, the reason Bill came to the Nethercutt Collection was his knowledge of the Lotus 19. Bill took the Lotus 19 apart and did the modifications necessary for the race season for Jack Nethercutt (who was a good enough road racer to have turned pro) in the late '60s. Bill was chief mechanic for Jack Nethercutt and the restoration shop for years.
"Bill and I were touring the pits at the Monterey Historic Races a few years ago when we saw several cars with 'Bill Fowler' painted on the side of the cars as chief mechanic. One was a Lotus whose owner knew of Bill Fowler but had never met him. He was thrilled to meet the man he'd heard so much about."
Full Circle
Bill Fowler is a full-fendered hot rodder who left his mark in the stressful world of Championship Auto Racing that earned him the respect of his peers plus the leading names in racing.
Bill's retirement consists of enjoying every one of the 300,000 miles he's put on his '00 Ranger 4x4 pickup exploring the American Southwest, keeping his home machine shop humming with a few projects, like building miniature running engines that no one else has built, such as 1/8-scale replica of the Wright Brothers engine, besides restoring an old car or two. Speed Week is circled on his calendar and Indy too, what else do you need? Maybe hosing off the salt on the driveway still clinging to his 4X when Bill gets home!

"When I was in the Air Force in Texas I had a Harley "bobber" based on a '36 H-D frame and Knucklehead V-twin engine. I raced it on the streets and at Caddo Mills Drag Strip in Texas."Don't you love it? You know those guys at Automotive Specialty knew a bunch about hot rods the second you pulled up. That's Bill's '28 roadster pickup with the warmed-over Cragar two-port, a customer's Sprint Car, and the bad A-Bone roadster parked on the side."There were no regulations when I started drag racing my bike that said you had to wear a helmet, so I didn't. But then NHRA started requiring a helmet. At Santa Ana Drag Strip I wore one on a run. The frame broke, I was pitched over the front of the bike, and my body went through the lights at 103 mph. I landed on my lid and took the helmet back to the manufacturer who said they tested their helmets by dropping anvils on them but they'd never seen one banged up that bad."

Wofford looks to regroup from loss during bye
Published: Sunday, September 22, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 12:55 a.m.
Wofford's bye week, the first of two this football season, comes at a good time. The Terriers suddenly are in need of some extra time to figure things out and evaluate how best to move forward.
Photo Galleries
Things were looking pretty good for the Terriers after they rebounded from a 69-3 opening day loss at Baylor to win Southern Conference games against The Citadel and then nationally ranked Georgia Southern. But after Saturday's 3-0 loss to Gardner-Webb, in some ways, it's back to square one.
"It's not going to be a break. That's for sure," Wofford head coach Mike Ayers said.
Saturday's game was played in constant rain and miserable conditions, both teams struggling on offense. Gardner-Webb, however, was much better. The Bulldogs beat Wofford in total yardage, 279-162; passing yards, 111-5; first downs, 16-8; and time of possession, 37:43 to 22:17. The Terriers caused a few red-zone turnovers to stay alive before Jordan Day of GWU hit a 35-yard field goal with 10:52 remaining.
"I don't know about the weather," Ayers said. "(Gardner-Webb) played in it, too. I don't know if that was a factor or not. All I know is we didn't get them ready. Somehow, someway, we've got to get better."
Donovan Johnson ran for 116 yards, his third straight 100-yard game, mostly on runs straight up the middle. The rest of Wofford's offense produced just 46 yards. The Terriers played it close to the vest, mostly because of the weather, but ended up losing anyway. There were several dropped passes when they did throw and four dropped balls for turnovers on special teams. One of those led directly to Gardner-Webb's winning field goal.
Wofford also needs to get healthy, especially on the defensive line. Nose tackle E.J. Speller started but couldn't go long because of a neck injury. Defensive end Tarek Odom tried to come in with a bad shoulder but didn't last long, either. Another top lineman, Tom Bove, was out with a muscle strain in his back. The reserves played well, but the Terriers certainly need leaders on the defense to return at full-strength.
"What we've got to do, first of all, is have the injured guys get well," Ayers said. "We've got to work hard on fundamentals. We've got to make sure we give our guys the best opportunity to be successful. The main gist is just trying to become a better fundamental team."
Wofford will return to action Oct. 5 at home against a second straight Big South opponent, Presbyterian, which came within a blocked field goal of beating Furman earlier this season. After that, it's back to the Southern Conference with a three-game stretch of Elon (for homecoming), at Western Carolina and then what should be the toughest of the three, Oct. 26 at home against Samford, before another open date. Wofford will finish the regular season at Chattanooga, home against Appalachian State and at Furman.
The Terriers will surely take a dramatic fall in the rankings from No. 10 by The Sports Network and No. 8 by the FCS coaches. But at 2-0 in the conference, including a big one against Georgia Southern, all the goals are still obtainable.
"As I told the guys, hey, every loss is hard," Ayers said. "If you're a competitor, every loss is hard. But that loss right there, all it does is affect where we are as far as national. The big thing is that we've got an open date. And we need it. We've been beaten to smithereens. We need to fix things and get better."

Dakota Wesleyan University invites the community to join in a continuation of the Blue & White Days festivities Saturday with a science center open house and Farney Festival.
Beginning at 4:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 28, after the DWU homecoming football game vs. Hastings College, which is at 1 p.m. at Joe Quintal Field, the campus will host an open house for the Glenda K. Corrigan Health Sciences Center, complete with snacks, festivities and tours of the buildings. In conjunction with this will be the Farney Festival – a celebration of all things zany with DWU professor Dr. Mike Farney.
Farney, known around campus for his standard "uniform" of black pants and white turtleneck, will be holding court in his physics lab for alumni and community members. There will also be children's science activities, snacks, prizes for Farney-look-alikes, and tours of the building. For those who had the opportunity to have Dr. Farney in class over the last 34 years, it will be a great time to get together with old friends and an unforgettable teacher; for those who do not know Dr. Farney, it's a fun way to get to know the new $11.5 million science facility.
Farney has been at DWU since 1979 and currently teaches courses in physics, mathematics and astronomy, as well as an interdisciplinary course called COR along with Dr. Mike Catalano. It is not uncommon to see Farney and Catalano dressed up as Socrates and Plato in the classroom. In fact, their many costumes from monks to philosophers to scientists of days-gone-by are how many of the current DWU students recognize them.
Farney also runs the South Central South Dakota Science and Engineering Fair, working with multiple area high school students.

Helpful Plants for Your Organic Garden
If you are an organic gardner who wants to get the most out of your garden's bounty, then there are steps you can take to improve your results simply by knowing the kinds of helpful plants to put in your garden. Known as "companion planting," this gardening technique uses knowledge of different species attributes to form a planting scheme for better results. Companion planting places plants side by side that have the potential to help each other because they have complementary attributes. Follow our guide to learn about a few plants ideal for companion planting in your organic garden:
Combination #1: Cabbage Family & Dill
An unlikely match, yes perhaps. But cabbage and dill are an organic gardening marriage made in heaven when it comes to the pest-warding powerhouse they create. Dill attracts wasps, which are very effective at getting rid of cabbageworms an other pests that may attack the cabbage and its family of plants. In addition, the cabbage acts as a solid support, giving the dill plant, a flimsy plant that has a tendency to bow over, an infrastructure for growing tall and strong. Dill is a great companion plant for other plants in the cabbage family as well, including brussel sprouts and broccoli.
Combination #2: Garlic & Roses
Plant garlic and roses beside each other, and you not only have access to the two most essential items for any dinner party – garlic on everything and roses and garlic's purple or white blooms for your table décor – but you are going to have really great-looking rose bushes. Garlic wards off the pests that attack roses.
Combination #3: Cucumbers & Nasturtiums
If you are growing cucumbers or the related squash plant, then it's a good idea to plant nasturtiums as well. These firey flowers with edible leaves and blooms have a vining system, which allows them to spread over large swathes of ground cover. They can mix in with your cucumbers and squash as they grow plump without harming the vegetables. In fact, they repel cucumber beetles. What's more, they'll protect cucumber and squash plants by giving them defense against other insects. That's because their rambling nature helps them spread out over the ground cover, which is the habitat for insects such as ground beetles and spiders – insects that will eat pesky insects that want to feed on your plants.
Are you ready to see a more bountiful and healthier garden? Are you ready to diversify your plants and fill your garden with more color and taste? The more you know about a plant species, the better chances you have at creating planting successful combinations that boost the health and the growth of your garden. You're on your way to a more beautiful, more delicious organic garden this summer. Now get to planting the companion way!

My greatest defect.
Present in almost all aspects of my live... Like my house, it's a mess right now, but I have time to clean, I just don't do it. I'd rather stay in bed and do nothing (high tolerance to boredom). "Why do something when I could just not do it?" (Sad, maybe even funny, but true)
Procrastinate even when the subject is girls: "Nahh, I'll invite her out next week..." Doing it for a few weeks now. But I still have a chance ;) I "can't" call her right now because I would eventually have to clean my room. (If you know what I mean…)
Luckily it doesn't affect my work much. Tight deadlines, colleagues and the boss do a great job at pressuring me, therefore keeping me on track. I'm not complaining about that, it's a good thing. I just fear my laziness will infiltrate even more on my job and make it not good.
I'm a software developer, so I also have some personal projects to do on my spare time. I get to start them, they are quite promising, but always end up left aside.
So I ask, how do I overcome laziness and procrastination? I don't think I can do it on my own, or I'm just too lazy to try.
Action taken:
The answer given by @sskates fitted best with my urgent need to get back on track, and here is how I did it:
Got a sheet of A4 paper and a whiteboard maker. Lists of small tasks with big letters can be made quite fast when using them. I could at that moment continue with the list making, but why overwhelm myself with a bunch of "TODO" lists if I could overwhelm myself with a bunch of "I'VE DONE IT" lists? So I set off to complete my first list and write new ones when all the task of the previous one were complete.
When I posted the second list on the wall, right next to the first completed one, I got a "Wow, now I just have to do 50% of the tasks, because the other half is already done." The percentage just kept on falling for each following list. It was a great motivation to see just one list of small undone tasks beside a few lists of tasks already taken care of.
I also liked the other answers. I think they fit better with my next step, which is to stay on track and not let things get out of hand as they did before.

I'm considering purchasing courses from Game Institute, specifically, the Foundation Studies Package. Has anyone here taken their courses? If so, do you feel they are a good value? If you can, please be specific as to what you benefited from them, and their strengths and weaknesses.
Though I am most interested in reinforcing computer science fundamentals with respect to game development, I would also like to know if the material is relevant to today's technologies.
I'm especially interested in responses from working professionals who have taken their courses or reviewed their materials.
Background: My work week is spent mostly with SQL Server ETL and some C# web forms development. I have ideas for 2D and 3D platformers, but I don't have the skills to build them to completion yet.

What do i need to do in my itemStyle.xsl to hide webpart when there are no items. When RowCount is 0. Thanks i advance
if you got access to your webpart code then, by default make it invisible. then you can use two event receivers one for item adding to make webpart visible and another one for item deleting as if a item is deleted check if list is empty if it is then hide webpart.
you can access your webpart properties by referencing it using its dll in event receivers.
you can access more properties over here
You can't control the visibility of the CQWP from the ItemStyle.xsl. That file only helps display items in the webpart, not control the visibility of it.
To control the visibility you'd have to either create your own webpart inheriting the CQWP or make some javascript which hides it.

We are excited to announce that the sport management major is joining the School of Business and the sport media major is joining the Roy H. Park School of Communications. To read more, click here.
To prepare students for careers in sport administration, management, and communication in diverse capacities, and/or graduate study in these fields, the department offers the following majors.
Students in this program investigate the social, ethical, economic, legal, and political factors affecting the management and administration of sport organizations. The application of management principles to the sport industry distinguishes this program from the others offered in the department. Sport management majors learn about finance, law, organization management, personnel, and marketing.
The sport media major prepares students for an array of careers in an industry where the boundaries between sport, other forms of entertainment, and pure business are blurred. The curriculum is composed of three cores designed to complement one another: a liberal arts core; a sport theory core; and a core of courses in communications, including media production, public relations, advertising, sport publications, and sport video production.
B.A. in Sport Studies
The sport studies major is for students who want to learn about sport's place in modern society. We examine sport's historical, sociological, psychological, and philosophical dimensions from a liberal arts perspective. Sport studies majors have the opportunity to further their appreciation for the world of sport by exploring such areas as gender issues, the Olympic Games, and sport in film and literature.
NOTE: Fall 2014 is the last semester students will be admitted to the sport studies degree program.

Can you take a Challa knife to any knife sharpener or would you have to Kasher it after it is sharpened? Would there be a difference if it is a meat or cheese knife?

Rabbi Forst's "The Laws of Kashrus" references a Mordechai cited at the end of Beis Yosef 122 which permits using a single knife sharpener for meat and dairy, though he does note that they must be clean and that some have the custom of using different sharpeners (page 354).
I was unable to locate the precise reference inside the Beis Yosef, but the context seems like it is probably speaking about using a non-Jews knife sharpener.
Indeed the Star-K specifically allows using a knife sharpener that is used for non-Kosher knifes providing that the knife is clean. Both the Star-K and the CRC Article on Knife Sharpening speak of the issue of the heat generated by electric sharpeners used by sharpening services and both conclude that the heat is generally not sufficient to effect a transfer of taste (this would seem to implicitly support my gut feeling that even though with respect to knives the pressure can effect a transfer of taste even without heat, that characteristic of knives isn't relevant here). They both note that one must be able to ensure that the knife they are getting back is their own.

UCLA earned its third regular-season crown under coach Ben Howland. The Bruins could win the title outright depending on the outcome of Oregon's game against Utah. The Bruins lost control of the conference crown themselves when they lost to Washington State on Thursday, but there were plenty of hugs and handshakes to go around after winning in Seattle for the first time since 2004.
Muhammad scored 14 in the second half and helped UCLA (23-8, 13-5 Pac-12) rally from a four-point deficit with 5 minutes remaining. Scott Suggs had 14 points, but Washington (17-14, 9-9) scored just two points over the final 5 minutes. Leading scorer C.J. Wilcox was just 3 of 13 shooting for eight points.
Jordan Adams added 17 points and Travis Wear had 10 for the Bruins, who avoided being swept in the state of Washington for the first time since 1993. Drew hit the winning shot at the buzzer against Washington in early February in Los Angeles and came up with another huge basket in the final minute again.
Drew finished with seven points and became UCLA's single-season assists leader, passing Pooh Richardson. UCLA also took advantage of Washington's 19 turnovers, turning them into 29 points.
Down by one at the half, UCLA started the second half on a roll, hitting five of its first six shots. Adams and Muhammad combined for the first 10 points of the half as the Bruins took their largest lead at 40-33 with 16:20 left. Suggs hit a 3 for Washington and the Bruins failed to extend the lead on three straight possessions and Andrew Andrews hit an open 3 to trim UCLA's lead to 40-39. David Wear scored on a dunk in transition and Muhammad bounced in a jumper for a five-point lead.
Andrews hit a jumper and after nearly 3 minutes without points, Abdul Gaddy's jumper and Andrews' steal and layup pulled the Huskies even at 45 with 8:56 left. Norman Powell had an open baseline drive, but 7-footer Aziz N'Diaye quickly rotated and smothered the shot, leading to Suggs' jumper in the lane that gave Washington a 47-45 lead with 7:56 left.
Muhammad briefly pulled UCLA even before N'Diaye's three-point play and Gaddy scoring on an inbound pass for a 52-47 lead. N'Diaye added another huge block, this time on Adams and did a few push-ups while lying on the ground, but the Huskies missed three good opportunities to extend the lead - including Wilcox's open 3 rimming out - before Anderson and Muhammad both scored to draw even at 52-all.
Following a Washington turnover - its 17th - Muhammad split free throws, but Anderson tipped out the offensive rebound. Muhammad was fouled again and hit both free throws for a 55-52 UCLA lead with 2:33 left. Wilcox again had an open 3-pointer rim out and after another Huskies turnover, Adams hit two free throws with 1:14 remaining and UCLA's lead was 57-52.
After missing seven straight shots, Kemp slipped open for a lob dunk to cut the deficit to three with 1:03 left. UCLA drained the shot clock and Drew beat Suggs off the dribble for a driving layup with 32.6 left that proved to be the clinching basket.
Shawn Kemp Jr. added 10 points for Washington, but eight came in the first half. He was the only other Huskies player in double figures.

About Woodwind Instruments:
Musical instrument classification experts divide the woodwind family of instruments into two types: reed instruments and flutes. While reed instruments produce their sound by forcing air past a reed or reeds, flutes rely on splitting a focused stream of air through a tube of variable lengths.
As mentioned above, the reed instrument family is divided into two subfamilies: single reed and double reed. Single reed instruments, like the saxophone and clarinet, produce sound by forcing air past a reed fixed to a mouthpiece by a ligature. Double reed instruments, like the oboe and bassoon, use precision-cut reeds fixed to one another. Air is forced between the reeds to create vibrations that interact with the length of the tube.
Flutes are also divided into two types: open flutes and closed flutes. With open flutes, such as the transverse flute and the ocarina, the player directs air immediately across a sharp edge, which splits the sound. In closed flutes, such as organ pipes and the recorder, the player blows air directly into the instrument, and that air is divided across a sharp edge farther down the tube.
The term wind instrument defines a category of music instrument that includes all instruments whose sound is created by air that has been directed into the instrument by the player. Within the wind instrument category, there are valved brass instruments, like the trumpet, sliding brass instruments, like the trombone, single-reed instruments, like the clarinet, double-reed instruments, like the oboe, open flutes and closed flutes, among others.
Wind instruments all feature a resonator, or a tube, that allows air to vibrate in accordance with the length of the tube. In order to change notes, players can make modifications to the flow of air, or change the length of the tube using keys or a slide. Some instruments, such as organ pipes and the pan flute, require that air be directed into one or more of several tubes of varying length and circumference.

CHARLESTON - A relatively new rule gave Wheeling Central a second chance in the state tournament. Charleston Catholic's defensive rebounding did not.
After blowing past Magnolia in a West Virginia Class A quarterfinal on Wednesday, where the Maroon Knights shot the lights out, they missed 6 of every 10 shots Friday in the semifinals and the Irish collected them at every turn in a 61-55 victory.
"If you don't rebound the ball on the offensive end and don't shoot it very well, you're probably going to be in a little bit of trouble," Wheeling Central coach Mel Stephens said.
Article Photos
WHEELING CENTRAL'S Chase Harler makes a move to the bucket during Friday morning's Class A semifinal in Charleston. The Knights dropped a 61-55 decision to Charleston Catholic.
That helped spell an end to a season in which the Maroon Knights were 14-13 but among the last four standing in the class.
Though they trailed by three at halftime, it was a dismal 3 of 13 effort from the floor in the second quarter that set Wheeling Central back after making half of its 12 attempts in the first quarter.
The Irish pushed their lead to as high as 11 with 1:39 left in the third before the Knights, behind six points from Chase Harler, four from Thomas Stanley, and two from David Park, whittled it down to three with 3:16 remaining in the game.
"I think we got a little bit more aggressive and we were able to get a few offensive rebounds there," Stephens said. "By being aggressive and them having a little bit of a lead, they were able to say, 'let's make them work a little bit, but let's not foul them,' we were able to get some easier chances."
Charleston Catholic put it away at the free-throw line, going 10 of 16 at the stripe from that point.
"I think we made free throws when we needed to just to keep separation," Charleston Catholic coach Bill McClanahan said.
"We knew Central had a run. We knew we needed to be efficient on offense and they were probably going to foul us. We just needed to make sure we didn't get caught up in the emotion of their spurt, and get back to managing our emotions."
Sprinkled in the stretch run for the Irish was a tip-in by Zack Castro, who finished with 16 points and 15 rebounds, and a layup by Garret McCarty, who added seven points in 20 minutes despite playing at what his coach figured was 60 percent because of the flu.
It was Castro's third straight double-double performance.
"Zack's playing like a monster," McClanahan said.
Nick George led all scores with 24 points.
"They made the plays at the end," Stephens said. "It seemed like every loose ball toward the end they were able to come up with somehow, and we were playing from behind the whole time."
David Park led Wheeling Central with 18 points, but after making 2 of 4 3-pointers in the first half, continuing a scintillating carryover from the semifinal, he missed all three he attempted in the second half.
"You're not going to make every single one," Park said. "I was just taking open shots and they just weren't falling."
Harler added 15 points and 10 rebounds and Brandon Wallace joined him with a double-double of 12 points and 10 boards.
"I thought we played hard, but I thought they just played a little bit better than we did," Stephens said. "I wish some of the timeouts I didn't use all year we could have saved and used down here. We probably needed a few more down the stretch."

Google Wave is an extremely cool technology and Stack Overflow could be even better by integrating features from Google Wave. Add suggestions on what you think we could learn from Google Wave
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Real-time collaboration is extremely cool, if disconcerting to start with. Obviously SO doesn't have the sort of resources (either human or machine) of the Wave team, but it would at least be interesting to have the option of making your answer visible to others as you were typing it.
I'd also love to be able to write a robot which could automatically link to bits of the .NET framework documentation or JavaDoc, but that sort of level of integration would be pretty tricky.
I think it's more likely that it'll be feasible to write a Wave robot to read and post to Stack Overflow... which may give at least some of the benefits.
The ability for thread to be marked as read or unread is extremely cool (discussion). The use of discrete green labeling to mark threads as unread is very nice. Spacebar in Google wave takes you to the next thing you haven't read (even taking you to another question if you were browsing a list). Something like that could allow me to review the answers to a question twice as fast.
The presence of a double organisation system - folders and tags is an extremely useful feature. Tags are basically what the community uses to organise, while folders lets a user organise questions themselves. I would like to organise the questions I've read in folders so that I could review them again later. Favourites are okay, but I don't think it scales so well
