6 Stupid Gun Myths Everyone Believes (Thanks to Movies)
Hollywood wants you dead. We said it. We don't know why. We don't know what they could possibly gain from it, but it's true all the same. Hollywood has been teaching you lessons about guns for decades and decades. Hollywood wants you to build your entire understanding of guns based on the gun tropes they parade in all of their movies. Hollywood wants these gun rules ingrained so deeply in you that you apply these lessons in real life. Even though doing so will kill you.
That's right. All of the lessons Hollywood has taught you about guns are wrong.
Dead wrong.
#6. Dropped Guns Go Off
Most of you probably don't own guns, but you all have a pretty good idea of just how dangerous they can be. A firearm is basically a giant metal tube loaded with explosives, just ready to murder the heck out of everybody at the slightest provocation. Hollywood has taught us that even a light fall turns the average side arm into a pinwheel of death. Take this scene from the "darkest" Community timeline, where a revolver in Alison Brie's bag hits the floor and immediately fires an artery-seeking bullet into Chevy Chase's leg:
Or that famous scene from True Lies where Jamie Lee Curtis drops a MAC-10 down a staircase and murders half a Guantanamo worth of enemy combatants.
The Geneva Conventions don't say shit about unmanned weapons. Probably.
Alas, for the screenwriters of the world, modern firearms do not fire when dropped just a little bit. See, the gun industry is the same as pretty much any other industry. If their products kill people when they aren't supposed to be killing people, the government gets real pissed off and their stock tends to plummet. Which is why the Gun Control Act of 1968 made drop-safety tests mandatory.
And thus the great sport of Gun Toss was born.
If anything, the Hollywood-concocted myth about guns firing on impact inspires us to be even dumber with guns. If you drop a gun, your first instinct will be to try to catch it before it hits the ground, because movies taught you that gun + ground = death. In real life, however, grasping for falling objects is an inherently imprecise act, and you run the risk of accidentally catching the trigger while you fumble around like an idiot trying to catch it. Which is why experts agree: It's much safer to let a gun fall than to try and catch it. Or if you want to avoid dropping the gun altogether, you could always just tape, glue or surgically secure the gun to your hand so you always have it with you. Then you'll have gun hands. How about that?*
"I guess you could say I blew the Johnson account wide open. Ha ha ha ... they're all dead."
*Editor's Note: Cracked.com in no way endorses permanently or temporarily securing a gun to your hand and is not responsible for any injuries caused by idiots hot-gluing pistols to their hands, feet or faces.
#5. Ceramic Guns Are a Thing
Terrorists are at their most terroristy when they bring deadly weapons to places one doesn't generally expect to encounter deadly weapons, like a school, or the airport. So in Die Hard II, when John McClane encounters bad dudes who somehow sneaked handguns past airport security, we know that shit has now officially gone from "mostly not that real" to "real."
We'll quote you the pertinent dialogue: "That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me, you know what that is? It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn't show up on your airport metal detectors and probably costs more than what you make in a month."
"I'm going to need the names and addresses of every sizable kiln in the tri-state area."
According to our research, the problem isn't that the German porcelain gun is expensive; it's that it's imaginary. First off, there isn't a Glock 7, but more importantly, there's no such thing as an entirely ceramic handgun. It's easy to make the frame or magazine of a gun out of some non-metal polymer, but things like the barrel and the pins are under way too much heat and pressure to be made of anything but good old-fashioned metal.
"Sure" you say, "maybe that gun isn't available to civilians, but surely rich people or the government could build one." That's what we thought, Reader McStrawman, until we read the story of David Byron. He kicked off all this madness about undetectable guns when he was issued a patent for one in 1987. Congress even tried to ban this as-of-yet unbuilt gun. But that didn't stop Byron from hooking up with investors and starting a company focused on making this "plastic gun" a reality.
The Firearm Blog
"I won't stop until we have a thousand plastic guns for every aircraft!" -- David Byron, probably.
But that plastic gun never materialized. And in 1988, Byron stopped making the news ... only to reappear, making the same claims, in 2000. He formed another company, Magnum Technology, and somehow secured $800,000 from the Department of Defense to finally make an airport-proof gun. Because the existence of such a weapon is clearly in America's best interest and could never backfire in any way.
If the Founding Fathers didn't want us to wield guns in planes, they wouldn't have given us guns and planes.
This time, Byron's claim seemed very solid. He stated that his company had successfully fired rounds from a weapon with a machined zirconia tube crossed by carbon fibers. That sounds pretty damn plausible to us non-gunsmiths. But Magnum Technology shut down in 2007 without ever presenting such a weapon. And Byron? He's currently the CTO of another defense company. And he still hasn't proven that there's any such thing as a working metal-detector-proof handgun, though he's happy to keep collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars pretending!
US Patent
This is basically the unicorn of firearms.
#4. Bullets Make Everything Spark
Quick! Picture a gunfight from one of your favorite action movies. Remember what happened when the bullets hit a car, or a doorframe, or anything metal at all? Sparks, right? Which makes sense, because metal causes sparks when it hits metal real hard. You can verify this fact by slamming a hammer into your neighbor's car very fast. (Editor's Note: Cracked doesn't endorse this either!) Or by watching this scene from Hard Boiled:
And this scene from Terminator 2:
And this scene from Running Scared:
And similar scenes in, like, a trillion other movies. You're probably thinking that, if you were ever in a gunfight, you could follow these sparks and use them to find out how close you are to getting shot. It's a nice little tracking system, like planting a bright flag in every bullet hole. Too bad it's totally bullshit, because bullets don't spark. Almost all bullets are made of copper or a copper alloy. And copper is famous for not causing sparks. Only rifle bullets get hot enough to cause sparks, and even then those sparks are seldom and not nearly as flashy as the movies make them seem. So if someone's shooting you and you're waiting for the sparks to tell you how close you are to death, think again! Also? If someone's shooting you, stop reading this Cracked article.*
Perhaps consider investing in an Official Cracked Murder Tube.
*Editor's Note: Cracked NEVER endorses not reading Cracked articles.

King Abdullah chairs Cabinet session
January 11, 2010
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz chaired the Cabinet session held today at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh. At the outset, he summarized his consultations with foreign officials last week, including meetings with Jordanian King Abdullah II, Omani Foreign Minister Yusuf Abdullah, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle and Chinese Minister of Commerce Chen Deming, and the exchange of messages with Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad and Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir.
King Abdullah stressed the need to intensify efforts towards achieving a just and comprehensive settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict, particularly in light of recent regional and international actions that have the potential to revitalize the peace process. The Cabinet condemned the escalation of Israel's settlement activities, characterizing the policy as a major obstacle to the resumption of the peace process. In this regard, the ministers praised the European position, which stresses the illegality of Israel's settlement-building in Palestinian areas.
The Cabinet approved the establishment of baselines for the Kingdom's marine areas in the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf; approved renaming the National Commission for Wildlife Conservation and Development the Saudi Wildlife Commission; authorized the Minister of Higher Education to sign a draft memorandum of scientific and educational cooperation with the Ministry of Education of Tajikistan; approved extending a provision (Paragraph 9, Decision No. 23, 17/01/1428 H.) stating that the percentage of Saudization applied to construction sectors shall be 5 percent for a period of two years starting from 17/01/1430 H; approved restructuring the Board of Directors of the Irrigation and Drainage Authority in Ahsa for a period of three years as of 27/02/1431 H.; and approved the addition of Interior Ministry sectors (Facility Security, High Authority for Industrial Security, Command and Control Center) to the membership of the Permanent National Committee of Radiological and Nuclear Emergency Response and the National Radiological and Nuclear Emergency Response Team.
The Cabinet appointed Ahmad Al-Madhi as Security Adviser at the Interior Ministry; Jurayyd Al-Anzi as Assistant Undersecretary of the Tabuk Governorate; Mohammed Al-Hagbani as Assistant Undersecretary of the Tabuk Governorate for Security Affairs; and Fahad Al-Ghanim as Director General of Projects and Maintenance at the General Presidency for Youth Welfare. All of the appointments were made at the 14th rank.

New From Misewell
Inspired by our Made in the USA product roundup in our October 2012 issue, which featured everything from eco-friendly wallpaper to LED lamps made from wood scraps, we bring you the latest from Misewell, a Milwaukee-based company that's a recent Dwell favorite. We profiled Vincent and Paul Georgeson, the two brothers behind the company, in our 2010 Young Guns roundup, and have continued to track their progress and new releases ever since. As the brothers put it, their main goal is to create furniture that will last for decades, both physically and aesthetically. "We're not trying to follow any trends or do anything ostentatious," says Paul. "We want our pieces to look great in 30 years rather than turning into hideous eyesores. We want our customers to pass this stuff on to their grandkids." Here, a look at some of their latest products, introduced at this year's International Contemporary Furniture Fair and now available online, as well as some older favorites.

The Making-of Balloon Bowls
A trip to Brussels earlier this year included an afternoon visit to Studio With a View, a collective workshop shared by an architect, two photographers, and five designers. While there, I was able to watch a handful of the designers at work, including Raphael Charles, who was photographing a new version of his Magnetic Coffee Table, and Julien Carretero (below), who was experimenting with metal forms to create a new kind of lamp.

There's Lots of Yelling in Campaign to Break This Glass Ceiling
At Texas A&M, Enthusiastic 'Yell Leaders' Have Always Been Men; 'I'm Very Loud'
COLLEGE STATION, Texas—This week, a student-body vote at Texas A&M University could make Samantha Ketcham the first female cheerleader—make that yell leader—in school history.
"At A&M, we don't cheer. We yell," says Ms. Ketcham, a junior biology major.
By any name, the sideline noisemakers at A&M have always been as male as the football players they root for, and Ms. Ketcham's bid to topple that tradition is no less rancorous than the Republican presidential primaries. Past yell leaders at A&M include Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, who declined to be interviewed for this article.
To make clear that she would need neither megaphone nor microphone—rarely used among yell leaders—Ms. Ketcham, 20 years old, has adopted as a campaign slogan of sorts: "I'm very loud!" One supporter advised, on a dry-erase board outside Ms. Ketcham's dorm room, that she lower the pitch of her voice like former British ruler Margaret Thatcher.
At A&M, tradition dictates when students should sit at football games (never), how to say hello ("howdy"), or "go team" ("gig 'em") or how to boo ("hiss"), and how to celebrate an A&M score (kiss your date).
Tradition also precludes women from dancing or cheering on the athletic field. In the 105-year history of yell leaders, no yell leader has ever been female. The privilege is reserved for a five-man squad of yell leaders dressed in white who stand before A&M's student section at football games and make noises and gestures comprehensible only to other Aggies, as the students call themselves.
The yell tradition was born during a 1907 football drubbing, when male students donned janitors' coveralls and began leading chants to entertain bored students from a nearby women's college.
Only in College Station is it customary for a spirit squad at football games to make frequent reference to locomotives and farmers—and to make them at auditory pitches that evoke a barnyard. The signature exclamations of juniors and seniors include a "whoop" that is "probably a sound that no one should ever make, especially men," says Greg Fox, a 28-year-old graduate of rival University of Texas.
Just now, though, tradition seems more vulnerable than it ever has been at A&M. The school is ditching the Big 12 Conference this year for the Southeastern Conference, which will result in the end of A&M's 118-year-old tradition of squaring off annually on the gridiron against the University of Texas.
Changing conferences will also move A&M into a culture known for its platoons of female cheerleaders and dancers. In the heart of the South, the Aggies' male yell leaders will stand out more than ever.
This week's 10-person ballot for yell leader will feature not one but two women. The other, Minna Nashef, is a previous candidate running a more low-key campaign. She says she would be satisfied if Ms. Ketcham won. "A female yell leader, that's the common goal we share," says Ms. Nashef.
Still, some students aren't convinced. "I just couldn't see a female yell leader," says Cameron Lundberg, an A&M freshman, calling it "a very manly role at the university."
Even some women at A&M oppose the idea. "There's something about having five males," says Arrington Hayes, a senior who is campaigning for an all-male slate of candidates. "I think it's just a tradition that we should uphold and preserve," she says.
A&M fan message boards are teeming with opposition. "If I wanted to hear a woman yell at me, I'd go home to my wife!" wrote one Aggies fan. Another called the idea of a female yell leader as unthinkable as "a male server at Hooters."
Last week somebody defaced one of Ms. Ketcham's fliers, scratching out its message and scribbling NO on it in block letters. Though Ms. Ketcham says she has encountered many against her in the campaign, she focuses on her supporters, for whom she sometimes lets loose a traditional A&M yell: "A-A-A whoop!"
One strike against Ms. Ketcham is that she doesn't belong to the Corps of Cadets, a 2,100-member student military organization that each year nominates five of its own members as yell leaders. Electoral turnout is so heavy among the Corps that those nominees typically win at least a majority of the five yell-leader spots. Although the Corps, like the U.S. military in general, long ago admitted women, an A&M spokesman said he could find no record of the Corps ever having nominated a female yell-leader candidate.
Corps Commander Pat Reeves, the group's appointed student leader, said he would support whoever is elected yell leader. The A&M spokesman said any student meeting academic requirements could run for yell leader. "Our administration has made a strong commitment to enhancing diversity on our campus," he said, noting nearly half of the students are women. The school's enrollment is about 50,000.
Ms. Ketcham is emphasizing her credentials as a third-generation Aggie whose parents met at the school. Her campaign publicist, her mother, points out that Samantha's loyalties to the school predate her birth. While pregnant with Samantha, "I wore maternity clothes that said 'Future Aggie' with an arrow pointed to my belly," says Cheryl Ketcham, 44, a Virginia resident who graduated from A&M in 1990.
Although not the first woman to strive for yell leader—others have done so unsuccessfully for decades—Ms. Ketcham is running a campaign that may be unprecedented in its visibility. She is speaking to student groups and door-knocking at dormitories. "Go for it! We need breakthroughs here," said Edward Murguia, an A&M sociology professor who shook Ms. Ketcham's hand as she campaigned last week on a campus plaza. From every corner of the Lone Star state she has received publicity in newspapers, magazines and television.
Opponents tend to argue that a female yell leader might find it "awkward" to get tossed into a campus fountain following football victories while wearing the traditional white pants and shirt, a dunking customary for yell leaders. Ms. Ketcham says she would wear a bathing suit beneath her yell uniform just in case.
Ms. Ketcham isn't the only woman who might grace the sidelines at A&M football games next fall. Some have suggested that the A&M dance team, which has performed at basketball games since the late 1990s, might also perform at football games, which would be a first.
But among the many A&M students opposed to that idea is Ms. Ketcham. "I do like just having the yell leaders at our football games," she says. "No one else has yell leaders. Everyone else has cheerleaders."

I watched this video: http://www.securitytube.net/video/193 Now I'm thinking about an example.
Suppose I have a privoxy proxy on my PC:
user.action file (just part of it):
{ +redirect{s@http://@https://@} }
then I visit http://foo.org and get redirected to https://foo.org.
The big question: Am I protected against sslstrip?
What will happen? Will the page fail to load? Will using this kind of redirection keep my browsing safe?
Thank you!
I watched this video: http://www.securitytube.net/video/193 Now I'm thinking about an example.
This won't work very well. If you try it, you'll probably find that you are unable to browse most sites, because most sites don't offer their site through SSL (https:).
The right way to defend yourself: install the HTTPS Everywhere extension for Firefox. Any time you visit a web site that is known to support https, HTTPS Everywhere will automatically redirect your browser to use the https version. It's great! I use it and highly recommend it.
Important caveat: You will still be vulnerable to sslstrip / Firesheep style attacks when browsing sites that don't support https. There's not much you can do about that, except ask those sites to support https, or avoid using unencrypted wireless networks. (Or, buy a secure encrypted VPN service to route all your communications through: but that is inconvenient and expensive.)
The other 2 answers are excellent, but I thought I would throw this log onto the fire, too:
If you are at work (or anywhere where you are using a computer that isn't 100% under your control), then you shouldn't assume any safety at all, even when using SSL.
I know many large organizations that distribute their own root certificates and have an SSL intercept device on their network. These devices can MITM your SSL traffic by generating a fake certificate on the fly and signing it with their own root. These organizations install the root cert on all of their equipment, so if you are using a company laptop, for example, it already trusts this root.
If you are particularly cynical, you may believe that large CAs and government-sponsored CAs (such as China's information ministry) are offering fake certificates to law enforcement, intelligence, and/or military for exactly this purpose.
The only way to avoid this type of SSL sniffing is to be picky about which CAs you trust (I have removed many CAs on my personal laptop) and to use a certificate tracking plugin such as Certificate Patrol. Certificate Patrol will keep track of certificates you've seen in the past (a kind of first trust policy) and will notify you if a certificate unexpectedly changes.
Yes, this Privoxy rule set will prevent just a plain SSLStrip attack. But it can't prevent against all attacks. Recently a certificate authority by the name of DigiNotar was compromised. DigiNotar knew they have been comprised but failed to notify the public leading to Mozilla removing them as a trusted CA. This hacker has claimed to compromised 4 other CAs. These forged certificates have been used in iran to MITM Gmail and Facebook.
The author of SSLStrip, Moxie Marlenspike, was able to use it in conjunction with other attacks, such as null byte poisoning, to produce forged certificates. This attack was covered in More Tricks For Defeating SSL.
In both of these cases HTTPS Everywhere and Privoxy fall to the same problems. The certificate appears to be absolutely valid from the browser's perspective.
In 2011, Moxie Marlenspike gave the talk The Future of Authenticity. In this talk he details why Convergence can solve these problems. If you are in Iran or China and you are worried about your state sponsored ISP performing MITM attacks on you with forged certificates then you can use Convergence to detect this attack. However, in order to access the website safely you have to use The Tor Project.

Beyond optimal / partial f and a few other older methods, there's very little information out there for futures trading.
The Kelly criterion is a very popular bet-sizing method. Edward Thorp has written a great deal on this topic. You can try googling for more, or start with his review of the concept, or a recent paper, Medium Term Simulations of The Full Kelly and Fractional Kelly Investment Strategies. This is not specific to futures, but I'm not sure why you would need something specific to futures. I've never heard of optimal f, but at first blush it sounds a lot like a dumbed-down Kelly criterion.
Money Management Strategies for Futures Traders by Nauzer J. Balsara is a good resource.
Van Tharp's Definitive Guide to Position Sizing identifies 31 separate position sizing models (be sure to check out the extended table of contents). Specifically for futures trading, I quite like Ryan Jones' Fixed Ratio position sizing, a nice overview of which is available here, book on Amazon and OTT website here.

This should be something relatively simple. I know there's a trick to this, I just can't remember it. I have an equation $$\frac{3x}{x-3}\geq 4.$$ I remember being shown at some point in my life that you could could multiply the entire equation by $(x-3)^2$ in order to get rid of the divisor. However, $$3x(x-3)\geq 4(x-3)^2.$$ Really doesn't seem to go anywhere.
Anyone have any clue how to do this, that could perhaps show me/ point me in the right direction?

There is a little problem with my CPU, I found some tutorials, how to install Avant Windows Manager, I wanted to change my cpu frequency, I thought it works, but it works only for one core. My CPU is an Intel i5, with 2 cores and 4 threads.
So I used these commands to find out whats going on
watch -n 1 cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
CPU*= CPU0 Frequency = Full, CPU1 Frequency = 1,2Ghz, all other CPUs are 1,2GHZ too.
Any idea how to "repair" it?

Are there currently plans to standardize one best way of limiting the number of results returned by a query?
The stack overflow question at Is there an ANSI SQL alternative to the MYSQL LIMIT keyword? lists the various ways to handle this behavior in different languages:
DB2 -- select * from table fetch first 10 rows only
Informix -- select first 10 * from table
Microsoft SQL Server and Access -- select top 10 * from table
MySQL and PostgreSQL -- select * from table limit 10
Oracle -- select * from (select * from table) where rownum <= 10
I don't play in DBs that often so I'm speaking from ignorance here, but it seems like this is a pretty important functionality - at least important enough that I scratch my head when I see it has been left up to vendors.
EDIT: Fixed link (the [question]: link format no longer works?) and added the relevant bit from the link to the question itself.

S374W Crate Engine - Sealed and DeliveredWritten by on July 12, 2012 We put the new guy right to work taking a closer look at Ford Racing's S374W Sealed Crate Engine.
Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP) has always developed products with the racer in mind--be it at a professional or grassroots level, FRPP gets it. Its involvement in the lower racing ranks gives it the opportunity to see the trends as they develop. Being a part of Ford allows it to engineer and test the products it sells, ensuring consistent, reliable results with a very low failure rate. The major benefit to you is getting components designed to live in the harsh environment of the racetracks across America, all without breaking the bank.
As sealed engine classes grow throughout the sport, FRPP has stepped up its sealed crate engine program, giving racers in these classes a powerful option--the S374W. These engines are handbuilt using all-new race parts, designed to be competitive in a slew of dirt and asphalt classes, but more on that later.
"We wanted something that would compete with GMPP's CT525," explains Mike Delahanty, Product Manager Engines and Engine Components for Ford Racing. "The program started with our [FRPP's] 347 crate engines, and grew into the 374. We went with a sealed engine to try and get racers who use it a weight break," adds Delahanty. "We've found that when the tech officials give a weight break for a sealed engine, the S374W is very competitive. This engine has been in an unlimited small-block class with a 100-pound weight break, and the car finished in the top 10."
Another big advantage to this engine is the price. "This engine is designed for the guy spending $15,000-$18,000 on a 358," Delahanty tells us. "This is a turnkey solution that can be competitive for less than $11,000."
The S374W (PN M-6007-S374W, $9,999) a 374ci sealed crate engine, is stout. All you have to do is look at the components used and you'll quickly realize its 540hp rating is merely the tip of the iceberg for the small-block. The recipe of parts gives you a great blend of power and durability.
FRPP Boss 351 BlockThe block is the base of it all, and it doesn't get much better than the Boss 351 block (PN M-6010-BOSS35192, $2,199) when it comes to strength. Weighing in at 195 pounds, this iron block has many design features that make it perfect for competition use at the Saturday-night level. The Siamese bores allow for a maximum bore size of 4.125 inches. It comes in two deck heights--9.2, and 9.5 inches (the S374W used the smaller 9.2-inch block.) Out of the box, the bores are roughed out to between 3.990 and 3.995 inches, and when combined with the recommended maximum stroke of 4.000 inches, cubic-inch combinations range from 351 to 427. The S374W gets its 374ci from a bore and stroke combination of 4.125 and 3.500 inches respectively.
The main journals are 2.749 inches (stock 351C), which are finished to low limits allowing for overbore. Splayed four-bolt main caps are used on Numbers 2, 3, and 4, and main caps 1 and 5 are two-bolt mains. The oiling and cooling passages in the block are designed for improved oiling and cooling over original 351 blocks, and freeze plugs are O-ring, screw-in pieces, so sealing is not a problem. The Boss 351 block has increased bulkhead material, and 1/2-inch head bolts or studs are required.
The rotating assembly is comprised of an Eagle forged steel crankshaft (3.500-inch stroke), Eagle forged steel H-beam rods, and forged aluminum Mahle pistons--compression ratio checks in at 11.0:1. A 7-quart wet-sump oil pan houses a Melling adjustable high volume oil pump.
Z304 Aluminum Cylinder HeadsThe short-block has been topped with a CNC-ported set of Z-304 aluminum Cylinder heads (PN M-6049-Z304P, $899 each bare), which are cast from A356-T6 aluminum, and will fit on both 302 and 351 blocks. They are cast with high-flow ports (59 cc's in CNC trim), with 2.08-/1.60-inch valves, which are inline at 20 degrees. These heads require 7/16-inch rocker studs, and require FRPP 1.5, or 1.65 rocker arms (1.65:1 rockers are used on S374W) with an 0.150-inch offset pushrod cups on the intake side. The exhaust ports are raised, so custom headers may be needed depending on fitment.
ValvetrainThe valvetrain components of the S374W are all about performance and reliability. In the early testing phases, flat tappet camshafts were used, but after some less than favorable results, the switch to a solid roller configuration was made. The Comp Cams solid roller camshaft checks in at 0.543-inch lift on both the intake and exhaust side, with a split duration of 258/266 at 0.050-inch respectively. This relatively small camshaft is easy on valvesprings, which means less maintenance for the end user. The crank and camshaft are connected by a FRPP double-roller timing chain (PN M-6268-B302, $99). FRPP's offset rocker arms must be used with the Z304 cylinder heads, and the S374W uses its 1.65 versions (PN M-6465-F351, $449.95).
InductionThe S374W long-block is topped with an Edelbrock Super Victor intake manifold. This high-rise, single-plane manifold is great for making for making power in the upper-rpm ranges. FRPP tested the S374W with a 750-cfm four-barrel carb (carburetor not included).
PowerWhen it comes to any racing engine, power is always a big concern. FRPP rates the S374W at 540 hp at 7,000 rpm and 470 lb-ft of torque at 5,100 rpm, and these numbers are on the money. Each S374W is handbuilt on Ford Racing's crate engine assembly line, but what makes this crate engine different is that every S374W gets dyno tested before being shipped to its new owner. This ensures power output, and allows the Ford Racing engineers put their hands on every engine built.
Where Can I Run It?"The first place we looked at running the S374W was ASA," explains Delahanty. "It was testing the CT525, and we wanted to be ready with a competitive engine." If you don't race in the ASA Midwest Series, don't worry. ARCA Trucks, CRA Super Series, Jeg's All-Star Tour, UARA Stars, ACT (American Canadian Tour), Southeast Limited Late Model Series, Southeastern Late Model Sportsman Series, Bridgeport Speedway Modified Series, and PASS North and South are all sanctioning bodies that allow the S374W sealed crate engine.
Ford Racing has given us a S374W to play with, and so far we are very impressed. We already have a slew of parts on the way to upgrade to EFI, and we plan on testing as much with this package as possible. In the very near future you'll see our S374W on the engine dyno, as well as on the chassis dyno and on the track. If you have any suggestions of what we should do with our S374W, email us at email@example.com.

STEUBENVILLE - Big Red and Maysville are on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to Ohio football playoff experience.
Reno Saccoccia-coached clubs have qualified for the dance 25 times (tied for fifth-best in all-time playoff appearances with Youngstown Cardinal Mooney). Big Red has a playoff record of 46-21 and its victory total is sixth best.
First-year coach Craig Clarke has the Panthers in the postseason for the initial time in school history. The three and six seeds will battle in the first round of the Region 11 tournament at 7 p.m. today at Harding Stadium.
Earlier in the week, Clarke said playing Big Red in "Death Valley" will be an experience his players won't forget.
"It's going to be a great atmosphere for us to go into," he noted. "We're excited to go over there. I know one thing-our kids are ready."
The Panthers, who compete in the North Division of the Muskingum Valley League, went 9-1 under Clarke's guidance.
Clarke, who formerly served as an assistant in Coshocton, credited his senior class for spearheading the effort to adapt to a new offensive and defensive system.
The new offense features the Wing-T.
Wingback Jordan Hayes leads the Maysville attack with 980 yards on 165 rushes for nine touchdowns. He has compiled 1,093 all-purpose yards. Running back C.J. Harris has toted the pigskin 69 times, compiling 524 stripes and seven scores. He also has snared seven passes for 124 and two additional six-pointers. Harris also is a threat to throw the football, having hit on six of six attempts for 105 yards and four touchdowns.
Jacob Miller calls the signals for Maysville. During the regular season, he was 36 of 75 for 524 with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Wide receiver Justin Wilson has 24 catches for 326 yards and four scores.
"I've seen them on film and they appear to be a real steady ball club," Saccoccia said of the Panthers. "I didn't see them making mistakes or turning the ball over. They appear to be fundamentally sound with good size. Their kids look strong and they are well coached."
The 8-2 Big Red achieved one of its annual goals (hosting a first round game) thanks to a 21-18 come-from-behind victory over Akron Butchel. This playoff trip is the 12th straight for Saccoccia's crew.
"Our finish is good enough to get us where we are right now," Saccoccia said. "If you're 8-2, you want to be 9-1. And, if you are 9-1, you want to be 10-0. So, you're never really satisfied. Hopefully, us not being satisfied will carry into the playoffs.
"A lot of teams counted us out going into the Morgantown game. Our kids rose to the occasion and we played a great second half at Morgantown. Then, we played a good, physical four quarters against Butchel. What we have right now, we have earned. Sometimes you can go through the back door, but we earned the position we are in right now."
Indian Creek at
West Holmes, 7 p.m.
MILLERSBURG - Every team in the state of Ohio wishes they had the opportunity to play in Week 11, but only 192 schools over six divisions earn the right.
For the second straight year, and third time in school history, the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Class 5A champion Indian Creek Redskins are one of those teams as they travel to Millersburg to take on Division III Region 11 second-seed West Holmes tonight.
A win gives the Redskins (9-1) their first ever playoff victory and a school record for wins, but even with all that at stake it's just another day at the office for head coach Andrew Connor's squad.
"It's kind of cliche, but we're stressing that it's just a football game," he said. "We're preparing how we've been preparing all season. Tuesday was a normal Tuesday for us. It's nice to still be playing and it's important for the school, but on the same token we need to prepare how we did for the past 10 games.
"We're doing the same thing we did every week, nothing has changed."
The Knights, who finished seventh in the final Associated Press poll, come in with a 9-1 record after claiming a share of the Ohio Cardinal Conference crown with Mansfield Senior and Mansfield Madison.
This is their fifth playoff berth, going 4-4 in their four previous trips.
West Holmes success depends greatly on its rushing attack. The Knights are led by running back Layne Perone who has rushed for 1,612 yards (34 shy of the school record) and a school record 26 touchdowns. Also expected to see their share of carries are Garrett Mackey, Grant Hay, and Luke Ogi.
"We broke them down statistically and 88 percent of the time they run ball," said Connor.
"Biggest thing is to be fundamentally sound and read our keys. They run the Wing T, but they run it out of a fullhouse backfield.
"We need to read the offensive linemen because the quarterback hides the ball great, and if we get caught watching the backfield we'll be in trouble. We need to do a good job of getting people to the ball so they don't break tackles."
The Redskins defense is led in the middle by stellar linebacker Shane Winland and his 90 total tackles, including 10 for a loss and three sacks.
He's also has a pair of interceptions and forced fumbles.
Montel and Monty McClelland have been standouts on the defensive line for Connor. Montel McClelland has 47 total tackles including 10 sacks and 28 hurries while Monty McClelland 42 total tackles including four sacks and 10 hurries.
The secondary foursome of Frankie Kamarec, Alex Young, Logan Woods, and Blake Roar have combined for 25 pass break ups and six interceptions.
The Redskins have give up just 1,101 yards rushing this year, much against back ups at the end of big wins.

The holiday season is always full of gifts!
Some people may spend the Holiday in Handcuffs (I haven't seen that movie, but just the idea of Clarissa/Sabrina and A.C. Slater together makes me miss the 1990s), but we had a better holiday, adding some excellent resources to the Library & Technology Center collection this past month.
Given finals and the short December month at Coastal, there are fewer additions than normal, but we've nevertheless got some excellent ones worth highlighting.
1) Typography for Lawyers: Essential Tools for Polished & Persuasive Documents.
For some of us, the title is enough to sell this one. For most of you, it is more likely to cause your eyes to glaze over. Trust me when I say this one is worth a look. A slim softcover volume of only 170 pages (plus sample documents and an appendix), Typography for Lawyers addresses some of the most common issues faced by those attempting to craft great legal documents. All sorts of questions on formatting and usage are discussed and simple, straight-forward answers are provided whenever possible. Although it was originally tabbed to be sent into the General Collection, after review by library staff and students, it has been deemed of sufficient importance to be moved into the Reference Collection so it will always be on hand.
If all that wasn't enough to convince you it is worth a look, take note of the fact that Bryan Garner has lent his name to the effort and written the foreword. You may know that name, but if not try typing it into our library catalog. You may recognize some of the results, like Garner's Dictionary of Legal Usage, Reading Law: the Interpretation of Legal Texts (with Scalia), Classic Essays on Legal Advocacy, and a little book called Black's Law Dictionary.
2) Phake: the Deadly World of Falsified and Substandard Medicines
The library's own Jamie Marie Keller has actually read this book already, and was kind enough to provide us with this review:
Phake by Roger Bate (Economist with the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research) discusses the dangers of unregulated consumer medical drug markets. The book includes empirical studies of the safety of drug quality in Africa, India, China, and the Middle East. While the book focuses on counterfeit drugs and substandard laboratories, it does not differentiate between drugs that are counterfeit simply because they are not created by the corporation that holds the patent on the medication and other counterfeit medicines. Bate praises the efforts of the FDA to regulate the drug market in the United States and encourages other countries to develop similar agencies.
3) Covenants Not to Compete: a State-by-State Survey
Current through the end of 2011, this state-by-state survey includes everything from Abandonment of Customers to Writing Requirement. The first volume of this three-volume set lists the most common questions and on which pages the answer for each state can be found. Each state section provides ample citations to primary sources as well as a cumulative history on each portion.
4) All the Missing Souls: a Personal History of the War Crimes Tribunals
For this review, we turn to Martin Wenick of American Diplomacy (via Amazon.com):
All the Missing Souls clearly fills a gap in literature on the administration of international justice, and it is must reading for those interested in emerging themselves profoundly in this field. His direct personal involvement in working to create international tribunals to bring to justice individuals responsible for the worst of the 'atrocity crimes' of recent decades demonstrates that perseverance and tenacity can make a difference on the international scene.

Schwartz Plaza Native Woodland Garden, 70 Washington Square South
Native Woodland Garden--Pictured clockwise from the left:
With so much going on in the gardens so early this year, it's hard to pick just one plant for the week, so let's go with three in our Mannahatta-themed Native Woodland Garden in Schwartz Plaza on the east face of Bobst Library.
If you look up this part of town on the Mannahatta Project website, you'll see that American Hornbeam is one of the species likely to have been present on this very block before European settlement began in 1609.
This tree, also known as Musclewood for its distinctively sinuous bark, is a widespread understory tree throughout much of the northeast. This tree is just now starting to leaf out and has very distinctive buds. Two wildflowers now in bloom are Wild Columbine and Wild Geranium, also Manhattan natives!
Stop by Schwartz Plaza sometime to see a little bit of what Manhattan once was...

Major changes are unfolding that will impact the marine
shipping industry. Within the next decade, tighter environmental rules will be in
place, changing fuels used to propel international and domestic
vessels. These new environmental rules were developed
by the International Maritime Organization and are commonly
referred to as MARPOL.1 Under MARPOL, the sulfur (S)
content of marine fuel oil is being decreased. In January 2012,
the S content of marine fuels was lowered from 4.5 wt% to 3.5
wt%. More importantly, beginning in January 2020, the S content
of marine fuels will drop to 0.5 wt% (5,000 ppm S). Marine
fuels, commonly grouped under heavy fuel oil (HFO), were the
final refined product in which refiners could effectively move
S-containing compounds from other clean
transportation fuels.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

How to Draw Stylish Cuffs and Hems on Fashion Pants
Hems can reflect several cuts.
Skinny-leg pants: These types of legs are like a second skin on the leg. Their hems usually hit at the top of the foot and can create a slouchy look.
Wide-leg pants: Wide leg pants start either loose or fitted around the waist and hips; the leg becomes wide around the thighs and usually stays wide all the way to the floor.
Straight-leg pants: These pants are tailored to the body (not too tight and not baggy). After they hit the knee they continue to fall straight to the foot.
Flared-leg pants: These pants can be loose, fitted, or tight on the upper body, but from the knee down, they flare out in a bell shape as they hit the foot.

Adding multiple grids to UiBinder
Is it possible to add multiple grids to a single uiBinder ui.xml file? For example, I need to do something like this:
<gxt:ContentPanel ui:field="panel" headingText="Table 1"> <grid:Grid ui:field="grid1" cm="{cm1}" store="{store1}" view="{view1}" /> </gxt:ContentPanel>
<gxt:ContentPanel ui:field="panel" headingText="Table 2"> <grid:Grid ui:field="grid2" cm="{cm2}" store="{store2}" view="{view2}"/> </gxt:ContentPanel>
And when I try to compile and run, it requires me to add an @UiFactory to initialize the column model, store and view. However I can only initialize one of each. If I initialize them for table 1, then table 2 displays the column model, store and view from table 1. Has anyone done this before and if so, what am I doing wrong?
31 Oct 2012 9:49 AM #2
It is possible to add multiple Grids to a single UiBinder xml file. There are multiple ways this can be done. I've listed 3 below, but I'm sure there are even more ways this can work.
One approach would be to create the Grid instances in the owner class and use a @UiField(provided = true). This tells UiBinder to use the instances the owner class creates rather than instantiating a new Grid instances. That would look something like this:
@UiField(provided = true) Grid<Stock> grid1; @UiField(provided = true) Grid<Stock> grid2; public Widget asWidget() { grid1 = new Grid(....); grid2 = new Grid(....); return uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this); }
<grid:Grid ui:field="grid1" /> ... <grid:Grid ui:field="grid2" />
@UiField(provided = true) ColumnModel<Stock> columnModel1; @UiField(provided = true) ListStore<Stock> store1; @UiField(provided = true) GridView<Stock> gridView1;
<ui:with type="com.sencha.gxt.widget.core.client.grid.ColumnModel" field="columnModel1" /> .... <grid:Grid cm="{columnModel1}" store="{store1}" view="{gridView1}" />
<ui:with type="com.sencha.gxt.widget.core.client.grid.ColumnModel" field="columnModel1"> <ui:attributes which="1" /> </ui:with> <ui:with type="com.sencha.gxt.widget.core.client.grid.ColumnModel" field="columnModel2"> <ui:attributes which="2" /> </ui:with>
@UiFactory public ColumnModel<Stock> createColumnModel(int which) { switch(which) { case 1: ColumnModel cm = ... return cm; case 2: // alternatively delegate to private methods return createColumnModelForGrid2(); } }
31 Oct 2012 11:02 AM #3
Thanks! I will try that!
One way I had worked around it too was to put each grid into its own ui.xml file, so I had TableWidget1.java with its TableWidget1.ui.xml and TableWidget2.java with its TableWidget2.ui.xml and embedded those into my MainWidget.ui.xml. It isn't ideal, but it works.

no luck with @UiField for multiple comboboxes
I tried this approach (using the ui:attributes method) to try to solve the problem of 2 uibinder initialized comboboxes in a view. It just does not work, I get the following error:
[ERROR] [project] - Line 177: The method getLabelProvider(String) in the type CompanyTrainingEditorViewWidget is not applicable for the arguments ()
I did it exactly as prescribed.
I will probably just use @UiField(provided=true).
27 May 2014 5:46 AM #5
'getLabelProvider' doesn't seem to be part of either the original example or the suggested approach, suggesting that something else is causing an issue here. Can you share the full contents of CompanyTrainingEditorViewWidget and its associated .ui.xml file?
28 May 2014 3:03 PM #6
another option...
perhaps a working example showing 2 comboboxes being placed in a single uibinder defined page would clear up all the confusion?
with and without provided instances.

I can provide a few ways, but its going to look nearly identical to Justin's post, since its the same problem to solve. I still can't help with your getLabelProvider problem, since I haven't seen any code from either you, Justin, or the original poster that includes such a method. Your error seems totally unrelated to the problem discussed in this thread, at least without some context.
As with Justin's earlier post demonstrating how to add two different grids to the same uibinder, we either have to use @UiField(provided=true), or rely on the @UiConstructor-annotated ctor of the widget we are creating. This is a limitation of uibinder on any widget with a non-default constructor, but it presents a third option he didn't touch on - use a subclass of the widget that has a default constructor. Since Grid rarely makes sense like that but ComboBox *may* make sense like that, it is worth considering - see StringComboBox for an example of such a subclass.
Another way ComboBox is unlike Grid - you may have two ComboBoxes visible at the same time which share a store. I can only think of one case where two grids might both be visible at the same time with a shared store: implementing a locked grid such as at http://stackoverflow.com/a/15048539/860630. For ComboBoxes you might have two forms visible at once, one for billing address and one for shipping address, both of which require a state, country, etc.
Do you still need me to post these ways, given that they are effectively the same? Can you share the code which gives you the getLabelProvider error?

i gave up and just did the 'provided=true' technique.

Giving up tobacco can be like giving up on an old friend who doesn't treat you very well anymore. In some ways, you can't help remembering the good times you had together, but you realize that your "friend" is probably stabbing you in the back. Putting some distance between you and your friend is a good idea, but it's so hard to do and you may still want to hang out with your friend occasionally...just for old time's sake. You may be the type of smoker who never felt like a smoker. The habit just sort of happened. You imagine yourself as a nonsmoker, but you find yourself continuing to puff away.No one needs to tell you what smoking may be doing to you physically. Yeah, you can always hope that you will be like your great-aunt who smoked for 60 years and is still going strong--but logic tells you that's unusual.Maybe you've reached a point where smoking doesn't fit your concept of your future. Are you ready to try quitting?Here is some information on what may help you:
1. Smoking Cessation: The Office of Health Education offers individual cessation counseling scheduled at your convenience. You will be provided with strategies for quitting and support to keep you motivated. Our office also offers a six-week support group style program every semester. Please click here for more information.2. Online cessation programs: Sometimes you just have to do things on your own. If meeting on campus doesn't fit with your routine, try an online program like the Freedom from Smoking module offered by the American Lung Association. This free program can be accessed from any computer and offers a seven-module curriculum to help you kick the habit. Quitnet is another free online smoking cessation program that offers help and support 24/7 from its members who were previously smokers. 3. Medications and over-the-counter drug replacement therapies: If you have a strong physical addiction to nicotine, you may need some medicinal help getting past the cravings. Here are just a few of the products currently on the market that may help you:
4. Indiana Tobacco Quitline 1-800-QUIT-NOW: The Indiana Tobacco Quitline is a free telephone-based helpline for tobacco users who want to quit. Just call 1-800-784-8669 anytime from 8:00 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week for help and support. A trained Quit Coach will help you design a personalized quit plan. You will also receive a Quit Kit of materials to help you stay on your plan. Services are available in English and Spanish with translation services offered for other languages. The free Quitline is made possible through a supplemental grant to Smokefree Indiana from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention.
Try a combination of the above and wave good-bye to that old friend!

Hi all how to integrate twitter in android application without authentication ? i want to twit my status through my application . using oauth i have done twitter in my application but using oauth twit updated and it is only for one user .
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
You are correct, that when you setup an android app to authenticate using OAuth, you do not programatically include any user details - however, when you first used your app, the app code will have directed you to Twitter to authorise the app to make updates for you - that is when you will have entered your normal Twitter login details, and this is why the app is posting tweets in your user id. For example, if you loaded the app on to another device for someone else to use, they would have to authorise the app to make updates/post tweets and if they put in their user details it would post as them.
There is no possible way to allow updates to multiple accounts without OAuth - as then you would be able to post tweets for other people - however, the correct OAuth implementation allows the phone user to authorise your app once and then continue to update for their user.
It sounds like you have already sorted the user authorisation on twitter and consumer key/secret stuff sorted but there is an overview of OAuth with Android and Twitter (including source code) here
Posting to Twitter without authentication is not possible. Does it make sense to you?

This was my first year presenting at EMPOWER and I felt so much at home! Oddly enough, I was close to home as it is one of the few conferences we present in the Midwest. So, my MinneSOHtah accent wasn't even noticed:)
In all seriousness - I felt at home truly because of the amazing people that attend this conference. They arrived eager to learn and were open-minded to all that was available to them in a few short days.
My favorite workshop is noted in the photo below: Mat and Tower Flow had to have been my favorite to present - not because of content but, because of the attendees. They came in with great questions and I could tell, really took something home that they could use immediately. As much as we love those workouts to challenge our mind and muscle...Hands on Learning is really what it is all about!
Can't wait for next year!

There are white and green Brinjals too. Are the purple ones known by some special name?
In Britain (and France), the large purple varieties are known as aubergines. Other (pale and/or small) varieties aren't usually found outside of Asian supermarkets, where I imagine they are still referred to as brinjal.
The name 'eggplant' is used in the US, Canada, and the Antipodes, mainly because the lighter varieties are more common there, which arguably have the colour of eggshell.
They are, however, all just different varieties of the same plant, like yellow and red tomatoes.
They are all known as eggplant.
In the UK they are all known as Aubergines and in the US as Eggplant as they are all fruiting bodies of the same family of plants, the nightshades. The ones that are in common use in Europe tend to be the larger purple and white varieties as these are the ones that have been cultivated in that continent. With the spread of the cuisines of different countries into other parts of the globe, ingredients used in these cuisines have recently become more readily available outside their native countries and are called by names that distinguish them from their native equivalents. Personally, I buy what I know as Indian Aubergines and Thai Aubergines in my local Asian supermarket, these are imported from these countries and are not grown locally. I am grateful to know that the ones that are imported from Kashmir are known in that country as Brinjal. I would add that they all have a particular flavour/texture and are all of particular use in the cuisines of their respective native countries, after all, you wouldn't make a Moussaka with Brinjal.
In Toronto, we call everything in that family "Eggplant" (or Aubergines if you're trying to look cultured.)
The most common variety is the the large dark purple/black one. The second variety is the long skinny purple one, which we call "Chinese Eggplant".
Then there are the small ones, about the size of a pear or even smaller, which we call "Baby Eggplant" the default being the dark purple/black colour.
These distinctions really based on size and shape. Any further differentiation is done by pre-pending an adjective. "I'd like a light purple baby eggplant.

I don't really know, and I've never found anything in the Bible to definitively indicate an answer; however, in some ways, I hope not.
Interesting question. From the poll results seems like a lot of people think they will remember.I get the sense that there will be some sort of life review, where everything we have done, the good, bad and somewheres in between may flash before us in a instance.Guess, I'll find out one day.

A few weeks ago I found out about console commands. So I started playing around with them. I changed speed, size, things like that just to mess around. They usually didn't last through saves. Then I played around with my level, just to see what it would be like to be "all powerful" using a forceav command. I changed carry weight, too. A few days ago I decided I wanted to go back to my original, non-cheated game, but the levels and carry weight are stuck. Now when I try to fix it, nothing happens. Does anyone know how to undo forceav commands?

WEIRTON - After losing about 80 percent of his scoring from a year ago to graduation and with one of the players he was counting on sitting on the bench in street clothes, veteran Weir High coach, Mike Granato, wasn't expecting much from his Red Riders in its season opener against North Marion.
Despite losing 52-37 to the Huskies, who are in their first year of competition in Class AA after declining enrollment moved them down a notch from Class AAA, Granato was pleased with his team's performance.
"We showed great improvement tonight from our scrimmages," Granato said. "This wasn't a 15-point game, It was more like a six- or seven-point game until we had to begin fouling going down the stretch. I can't tell you how pleased I was with the way my team played tonight against a team that was bigger than us in all five positions."

Fred Younce
SEASON OPENER — Weir High's Mitch Viakley looks for a teammate against the defensive pressure of North Marion's Chase Banker during the mutual season opener at the Carl Hamill Fieldhouse. North Marion came away with a 52-37 victory.
The game had the appearance of a runaway in the first quarter as the Red Riders managed to score just four points on field goals by its two senior starters, Dylan Cassiadoro and Josh Groves. North Marion appeared to be on its way to a blowout leading 13-4 after the first period. A big factor was a stingy full court press that the Huskies applied forcing five first-period turnovers by the Red Riders.
Perhaps it was opening game jitters for the Riders because they seemed to settle down in the second period and even though they were outscored by two points, shots were going in and Red Riders were taking the ball to the basket.
North Marion took a 28-17 lead with them to the locker room at halftime.
Fact Box
North Marion 52, Weir High 37
North Marion 13 15 9 15 - 52
Weir High 4 13 16 4 - 37
NORTH MARION: Wilson 1 5-7 7, Richards 2 1-2 5, Martin 1 0-0 2, Banker 3 0-4 6, Opron 7 5-10 19, Cain 3 7-9 13. Totals: 17 18-32 52. Rebounds: 32 (Cain, 9); Turnovers 15.
WEIR HIGH: Knight 0 0-0 0, Wood 0 0-0 0, Viakley 1 2-2 4, Davis 2 0-0 6, Cassiadoro 2 2-2 6, Groves 5 4-9 16, Smith 1 0-0 2, Curtis 1 1-2 3. Totals: 12 9-15 37. Three-pointers: Davis and Groves 2 each; Rebounds 13 (Groves 5); Turnovers 18.
Things changed in the third quarter as the Red Riders outscored the Huskies 16-9 and got to within four points at 37-33 going into the final stanza.
"They are bigger than us and I thought North Marion did a good job in the first half of forcing us out," Granato, who is beginning his 14th season at the helm of the Red Riders. "They also disguised their defenses well."
The bigger North Marion players had a huge edge in rebounds getting to 32 missed shots to only 13 for the Red Riders, who were without the services of 6-3 junior Andre Simms. Simms, who lettered last year, injured his hand in a preseason accident and should be returning soon, according to Granato.
"We called two early timeouts to try to make adjustments against what they were doing," Granato continued. "With a veteran team, you can do that on the fly, but sometimes with a younger team you have to do it by putting them on the bench and talking to them. That's what we did, substituting frequently.
"I thought that what happened in the second quarter was that we made a couple shots and when we did that we began to defend better. Then, North Marion couldn't make the easy shots so they had more difficulty getting into the defense they wanted to be in. We weathered that early storm and made a great run in the third quarter, but kind of ran out of gas in the end."
During the fourth quarter, where the Huskies limited Weir High to just four points again while scoring 15 themselves, coach Chris Freeman began to utilize his superior size by getting the ball inside to 6-4 junior center, Cody Opron.
Both teams had trouble finding the basket early in the finial period, but Opron opened the scoring at the 4:49 mark when he took a nice feed and went to the basket for a layup. Senior Matt Cain followed that with another from close in to expand the Husky lead to 41-33.
"You have to give Weir a lot of credit. We got out to the early lead putting pressure on them, but they got back into the game in the third quarter by putting the pressure on us," explained Freeman, whose team also was opening the season. "Their zone gave us problems and we couldn't get the ball inside. When we did get it in we were pretty dominant.
"I watched the Weir girls team play before us and they had a lot of fight in them. I told our guys before the game that this team isn't going to die. You're not going to put them away and that's exactly what happened."
A long three by Shane Davis, one of two in the game by the Weir High senior, narrowed the North Marion lead to five points, but the Huskies went on an 11-1 run down the stretch making 9 of 14 free throws. They made 18 of 32 from the charity stripe, while the Red Riders canned nine of 15.
Groves, who scored 11 points in the second half, was the only Weir High player in double figures. He scored 16 points and was his team's leading rebounder with five.
Cain was the only other Husky in double figures with 13 points. He led all rebounders grabbing nine off the glass.
The Red Riders will continue an early season homestand hosting Oak Glen next Tuesday at the Carl R. Hamill Fieldhouse.

This helper tool from Touratech makes tire changes much easier in the garage, or on the trail. By holding the bead of the tire away from the motorcycle rim, these Tire Helpers give you more room and an "extra hand" during those tricky tire changes.
Electric tire inflator for motorcycles (also bicycle and truck tires.)
Accurate tire pressure gauge. The perfect gauge for motorcycle wheels. Holds the pressure, so you can bring it out to read the face. For example checking the rear tire pressure of a motorcycle with panniers can be very difficult to see the gauge.
The kit includes three 16 gram threaded CO2 cartridges with a sticker wrap.
This 24mm size fits the rear axles of F650GS single, F800GS, KLR650 (through 2007), XR 250/400/600/650L and both front and rear of KLX/DRZ400.
Pair of super-strong steel tire levers. Made of spring-steel, you can't bend them. Tapered ends of the tire irons let you wiggle the levers out when it's tight. Small lip stays close to the rim, reducing the chance of pinching the tube. There is a REASON that MICHELIN style has been the best design!

The capstone course for all business majors. It is usually taken during the spring of senior year. It has 6 prerequisites. They are the following:
If students do not complete all six before spring of senior year, they will not graduate. Therefore, students going abroad as well as the ones coming back from abroad will have to complete the above requirements before MG402 is taken. This may mean taking a sixth course and/or summer school.

The Loyola catalogue describes the Honors Program. Only four of the courses mentioned in the description may be taken by honors students abroad. These four courses are the upper-division offerings in the departments of English, Theology, Philosophy, and History.
Honors students may fulfill these requirements in the following ways:
Note that some study abroad programs offer courses that would transfer at the 300 level, but that carry only two credits. Students must submit an additional paper in order to raise these courses to three credits.
In rare cases where it is impossible for a student to schedule needed courses that will transfer at the appropriate level, courses in English, Theology, and Philosophy that normally would transfer to Loyola as three credits at the 200 level, and courses in History that would transfer to Loyola as three credits at the 300 level may be raised to Honors level. In such cases, the student writes an additional paper of at least 10 pages. This paper may be read by the instructor for the course or by a Loyola faculty member, depending on the study abroad program. It is the responsibility of the Honors student to initiate contact with the faculty member who is to evaluate the paper, in order to get instructions on the scope and nature of the Honors assignment.
Note: In order to raise a two credit course of this type to Honors level, the student would need to write two additional papers: one to raise the credit value and one for Honors credit. It is not recommended that students attempt to fulfill Honors requirements with such courses.
It is the responsibility of the student to make sure that courses scheduled abroad for Honors credit will transfer to Loyola at the appropriate level.
