In its first comprehensive look at the Second Amendment right to bear arms, the Supreme Court is expected to rule on the constitutionality of Washington, D.C.`s ban on handguns.
Everyone needs to read this, sounds promising.
Q&A: Supreme Court to Decide on D.C. Gun Ban
In its first comprehensive look at the Second Amendment right to bear arms, the Supreme Court is expected to rule next week on the constitutionality of Washington, D.C.'s ban on handguns.
The District of Columbia's ban is considered the nation's strictest gun-control law. A ruling by the court to strike it down could threaten other gun-control measures across the country, including laws that ban machine guns or assault weapons.
Although the Second Amendment was ratified in 1791, the court has never definitively said what it means to have the right to keep and bear arms. The current dispute over gun rights raises several important questions.
How have courts previously ruled on questions about the Second Amendment?
The Second Amendment to the Constitution states: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." For most of the last century, the courts have interpreted the amendment to mean that the right to bear arms is a collective right associated with military service, not a personal right.
The last time the Supreme Court ruled on the right to bear arms was in 1939. The justices upheld a federal ban on sawed-off shotguns and implied that the Founding Fathers adopted the Second Amendment to ensure that the then-new federal government could not disarm state militias.
But don't others see gun ownership as an individual right?
Yes. For many, the Second Amendment right to bear arms means the individual right to own and use a gun, if necessary, as a weapon against invaders, or even an oppressive government.
What clues did the justices give about how they might rule when they heard oral arguments in March?
A majority of the justices indicated they believed the right to bear arms is an individual right, like the right of free speech or the right to be free from unreasonable searches. Former Solicitor General Walter Dellinger defended the District's ban. He argued that the amendment was adopted in 1791 to reassure the states that the new federal government could not disarm state militias. But a majority of the justices appeared skeptical.
"If it is limited to state militias, why would they say the right of the people?" Chief Justice John Roberts asked.
Justice Anthony Kennedy added, "In effect, the amendment says we reaffirm the right to have a militia, we've established it, but in addition, there is a right to bear arms."
What's behind the case challenging Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban?
The lawsuit was initially brought by six individuals, including Shelly Parker, a computer software designer who received death threats from a local drug dealer after she organized homeowners to report drug activity in her neighborhood. One night, a drug dealer tried to break into her house and threatened to kill her. Parker chased him away by setting off the burglar alarm. A police officer suggested she get a gun, even though handguns are illegal in the District of Columbia. She joined a lawsuit organized by two local lawyers to challenge the ban.
What do Washington, D.C., officials say about the ban?
The District defends its law, which was passed in 1976, arguing that handguns are responsible for more than 80 percent of the city's murders and most of the city's armed assaults. The city also cites the danger handguns pose to children and to police called into domestic violence situations. The District contends that its residents are allowed to have other firearms at home for self-protection as long as the weapons have trigger locks or are unassembled.
How did the case arrive at the Supreme Court?
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled against the city's gun ban in 2007, becoming the first federal court in modern times to invalidate a gun regulation as an unconstitutional restriction on the right to keep and bear arms. The District appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court.
How do gun-control advocates expect the court to rule?
Officials at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence said recently that they expect Washington's 32-year-old handgun ban to fall. But they believe that background checks, limits on large-volume gun sales and prohibitions on certain categories of weapons can survive.
From staff reports and the Associated Press.
As a "thorn in Mayor Fenty's ass" I make it my lot in life to email him on a regular basis, reminding him of exactly HOW ineffective his backing of this "illegal" gun poilcy is NEGATIVELY impacting the lives of those that he took an oath to defend.
He is not serving the public trust, he is breaking it!
Other cities such as Boston, philly and MANY more are already in line with this policy and are just WAITING for the the SCOTUS to uphold this gun ban, so that more of our cities can be disarmed.
Our forefathers created the second amendment FOR EXACTLY THIS SITUATION. TO KEEP ANYONE, INCLUDING OUR OWN GOVT, FROM DISARMING THE PUBLIC!!!!!!!!!
I have one point to bring up here. I live in a suburb of Denver CO, and I have reason to believe that the powers of the military and government are planning for some sort of armed resistance. For the last week or so the military have been running drills in the downtown area with low flying blackhawk helicopters with dual m134 miniguns hanging out of the doors. It has been on the news, and they repeatedly call them anti-terrorism exercises. They repeatedly deny that this has anything to do with the upcoming democratic convention, and support that by saying that there are similar exercises happening in other large cities.
This all began on the same day that I first saw on accurateshooter.com that they were supposed to rule on Heller v DC that day. The message was later changed to "soon" and then the black helicopters started flying really really low in numbers with miniguns.
Now, I realize that I sound like some sort of conspiracy theorist, but IF the s***storm were brewing, wouldn't that be what you would start looking out for? Personally, I haven't seen any domestic terrorism that was fought with helicopters with miniguns in an urban situation. Not on our soil. It looks to me like the armament it takes to mow down a large group of citizen based resistance, er, um, Terrorism! It looks to me like we should be very concerned.
Blackhawk Flyovers Whip Up Concern, Curiosity - Denver News Story - KMGH Denver

They repeatedly say "...there is nothing to be concerned about". I for one am ill at ease.
Fritz, as a government liason officer, I can assure you that you and the rest of Denver have absolutely nothing to worry about. those helos are only carrying tactical battlefield nukes meant ONLY for terrorists in the event that they should strike here.
Pay no attention to the division of armed US marines in MOP gear, they just like the feel of the suits while carrying full packs.
Our Abrahm tanks are ONLY HALF full of HEAT and SABOT rounds.
I repeat, we are FULLY prepared for NOTHING to happen here-hence the exercises.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Limbaugh falsely claimed that Blair "pulled Great Britain out of the Kyoto Protocol"
Research ››› ››› JOE BROWN
On the September 16 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh falsely claimed that British Prime Minister Tony Blair had "pulled Great Britain out of the Kyoto Protocol," an international treaty to limit greenhouse gas emissions, which Britain has ratified but the United States has not. In fact, Blair did no such thing.
Limbaugh advanced this false claim based on his reading of a September 16 article by Newsday columnist James P. Pinkerton on the conservative "journo-lobbying" website Tech Central Station, titled "Tony Blair Pulls the Plug on Kyoto at Clinton Summit." Pinkerton's article described Blair's remarks at the inaugural meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative on September 15 and misleadingly began by declaring, "Kyoto Treaty RIP." In fact, Blair's comments focused on the limits in achieving an international consensus in support of Kyoto and devising solutions that accept that reality once the treaty expires in 2012. Although he has acknowledged the improbability of getting the United States to agree to the mandatory greenhouse gas emissions standards in the Kyoto Protocol, Blair has continued to be an active supporter of such reductions, most recently at the G-8 summit in July.
In his September 15 remarks, Blair acknowledged that "no country is going to cut its growth or consumption substantially in the light of a long-term environmental problem." He added: "[S]ome people have signed Kyoto, some people haven't signed Kyoto. ... That is a disagreement. ... It's not going to be resolved. But how do we move forward and ensure that post-Kyoto we do try to get agreement?"
From the September 16 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Tony Blair pulled the rug out from underneath Bill Clinton and all the attendees. "Onstage with former president in a midtown Manhattan hotel ballroom, Tony Blair said he was going to speak with brutal honesty about the Kyoto Protocol and global warming, and he did. ... Blair, who has been a longtime supporter of the Kyoto Treaty further prefaced his remarks by noting, 'My thinking has changed in the past three or four years.'"
So what's he think now? "'No country,' he declared, 'is going to cut its growth.' That is, no country's gonna allow the Kyoto Treaty or any other such global warming treaty to crimp, some say cripple, its economy." Tony Blair has just rescinded his support of the Kyoto Protocol onstage with Bill Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative. So -- and we all thought that they were best of buddies.
So what'll happen instead? You know, "Looking ahead to future climate change negotiations, Blair said of such fast-growing countries as India and China, 'They're not gonna start negotiating another treaty like Kyoto.'" So what'll happen instead? Well, Blair said, "What countries will do is work together to develop the science and technology. There's no way that we're gonna tackle this problem unless we develop the science and technology to do it.' That's what the eco-realists have been saying all along, of course -- that they only feasible way to deal with the issue of these greenhouse glasses or grasses -- gases, rather, of global warming, is through technological breakthroughs, not Draconian cutbacks like Kyoto."
LIMBAUGH: In case you missed it at the beginning of the program, the Clinton global initiative today -- Tony Blair pulled Great Britain out of the Kyoto protocol. Ha, ha, ha! He can't kill it by himself. I mean, the European Union has to do that, but he said, "Look, we're not going to sign onto something that stunts our growth. This is idiotic! Nobody else will either."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Bogie that is right on, instructors don't spell it out that well. Very nice read too.
|Motosledneck 12
|Got the motor together. Just have one last question. And that is what plugs should I run? Do I need a colder plug for the raised compression?
DCR is kind of a tricky thing the calculation isn't a straight forward in terms of a mental exercise as the SCR wheree the numbers are what the numbers are.
The DCR forces you to think about what's going on with the valve closing event in terms of opening against degrees. A modern cam that opens and closes the valves very quckly reacts to DCR very differently than older cam designs using very long closing ramps where the valves hangs almost but nut quite closed for many, many degrees.
The Summit 1102 is one of these older rampy designs, good for lobe and lifter life being kinder and gentler that cams with names like Extreme Energy, Voodoo and the like. With todays oil additive issues these older designs should last longer in service. The problem arises when try to deduce a resonable DCR as you've got to know when in crankshaft degrees the intake seats. The rising piston puts a lot of pressure into the cylinder that drives a lot of mixture back out even against the almost closed valve than if you assumed reverse flow at a lift value is similar to the flow bench numbers for that head of intake flow. This doesn't work because the pumping piston is putting a lot more force into the out going reversion than a flow bench is capable of generating for the test numbers of the intake flow. So that simple ide for a comparison though logical goes out the window in the real world.
So what do you do with the 1102 as logic will say that even though the intake is really late to seat, the flow has got to get pretty darn small when the valve is really close but not on the seat. So where does that happen, this becomes the squishy world of assumption.
Peeling your cam apart; first let me say that the DCR is a measure of virtual stroke lost moving the piston upward on compression while the intake is still not seated. The math for this is exactly the same stuff used to determine instant piston velocity at specific points along the bore and is the same for calcualting the effects of differing rod lenghts. Same equations exactly you just pulling different pieces of data for different purposes. All we're doing is using the equations to determine where the piston is as it rises up the bore as that relates to crankshaft degrees of rotation. So this opens and closes a bunch of different shape and sizes of triangles formed by the frixed length of the rod, a virtually changing base length of stroke being the center line distance of the crank mains to the rod journal as the jounal rotates, the throd side being a line from the piston pin center through the center of the main journal.
The 1102 cam card shows the intake valve closure at 26 degrees crank with the valve still .050 inch off the seat. So obviously the valve isn't closed and the crank is still turning. Most online calculators tell you to add about 15 degrees to this to get at the actual valve closure point. This is a pretty good assumption with the modern fast acting cams; but! But the 1102 has an intake duration from zero lift of 281 degrees and a .050 inch lift of 204 degrees. Wow, that's 77 degrees! If you assume the lobe is semetrical there's 33.5 degrees of ramp left to go before the valve is seated, not 15 as found with the online calculators. This makes a difference of closing the valve at 29 degrees aafter bottom center or 62.5 degrees ABDC.
When you feed these numbers into the equation 29 degrees generates a virtual stroke of 3.35 inches while 63 degrees gets you 2.81 inches. This makes a different DCR of 9.47 against 8.1. The latter 8.1 to 1 is a very livable DCR for your heads while 9.47 is iffy. Both of these are computed from a SCR of 9.81. This shows the startling effect of DCR related to the intake closure point on the SCR and where if you're not careful in your assumptions as well as execution, you can get into a ton of trouble.
When I play with taking 29 degrees closing at .050 inck lift and add the on-line recommended 15 degrees that closes at 44 degrees which generates a virtual stroke of 3.12 inches with a DCR of 9.8, still pretty high for these heads. When I assume that most of the reversion will stop around 2/3rds of the difference between the .050 number and the zero closed number I drive a much more livable DCR of 8.6.
I going through this expanation to show how touchy the DCR calculation is to the going in assumptions of when reversion actually stops.
If you find the compression to be too high to where you've got to remove the heads you would be far better off to slightly enlarge and polish the chambers, perhaps even lengthen or connect the valve reliefs in the piston than you would to go to a thicker head gasket. Usually these pistons have a band across the inside center of the piston where the relief is machined, carefully enlarging the relief along the length of this band is OK, just don't go deeper. There are several brands of pistons that do this, they just ditch the entire width of the piston under the valve pocket.

|Wow that is some very useful information. I will use the thinner gasket. And the fuel I will be running will be bp 93 octain. It is the best fuel I have found for pump gas from my experience with running my 348whp cobaltss on a completely stock engine with 120000 miles and 38mpg, there fuel out performed holiday and sa fuel by far from tuning on the dyno. Here is a picture of the cam card also. And thank you for your information. I'm new to the old school v8s and need all the info I can get especially when it comes to tuning a carberated engine. And please, no crap about having a 4 banger haha.
With a rebuilder piston .020 short on the crown mixed with a stock deck of .025 with flat top pistons having 4 valve reliefs under 64 cc chambers you get a Static Compression Ratio (SCR) of 9.56 to 1 with a .026 inch gasket. The compression ratio that came with the pistons assumes a block deck at zero height between it and the piston crown. This is because these are mass rebuilder pistons and the mass rebuilders don't screw with measuring the deck for flat and warp; they just whack .025 off every block passing through the mill and they all pass through the mill. From the data published at Summit on your cam; there really isn't any way to determine when the intake valve closes. That point determines the Dynamic Compression Ratio (DCR). The DCR is what everybody that contributed the words "bleed off" is talking about. The is a bottom end feature that relates to the ability of the intake flow velocity to develop enough inertia to overcome the reversion pressure forming inside the cylinder from the rising piston. This takes place from Bottom Dead Center (BDC) till the intake valve seats in crankshaft degrees. In essence this shortens the stroke of the engine which greatly reduces compression ratio. Remember air and evaporated fuel are gasses and gasses are compressible which means their density and pressure are independent functions. So the actual pressure in the cylinder is only vaguely related to the compression ratio. Since a late closing cam allows the piston below a critical RPM to push mixture back out, the engine reacts like the stroke was shortened and thus with the same volume above the piston when it gets to Top Dead Center (TDC) the compression ratio is lower as well as is the density (number of molecules of mixture). This is what causes the ragged idle and loss of bottom end power in a big cammed engine. This is why the SCR is increased with big cams as it is a means of forcing the thermodyamic side of the equation (density) to work harder to recover some of this loss which is the expression of the DCR. The DCR should be from 8 or 9 to1 depending on material composition of the head, size and shape of the combustion chamber, octane of fuel plus a few other considerations. Large chamber heads with the spark plug far from the bore center need lower compression, cast iron needs lower compression, wide squish/quench needs lower compression. Heads that move the plug close to the bore center, tight and energic chambers like the L31 Vortec, tight squish/quench clearance of .040 or a bit less, can take higher DCR's and certainly aluminum needs more compression because of its faster heat transfer rate to the cooling system than iron.
The good side of long duration cams is from super filling the cylinders at high RPMs. This comes from the engine's RPMs which also increase the mixture velocity inside the intake system such that at some critical RPM the mixture has so much inertia that it overcomes the reverse pumping of the rising piston and overfills the cylinder which increases the mixture density so power goes up because there's more material to burn. So while the stroke still gets shorter and the DCR (SCR for that matter) doesn't change, but the actual number of molecules in the cylinder goes up, therefore, the actual compression pressure rises even though the dimensional compression ratios do not change.
The 193 head is a bottom end torque head also designed for excellent gas mileage. It's not what you'd think of as a performance head even if it has larger valves than your other head. But your other head has large chambers so don't switch them. The 193's ports cannot feed the larger valves beyond about 4500 RPM on a 350. This is a case where more lift is not very helpful either; although you can pick up some flow early and late in the lift cycle. More lift over the top of the lobe is of limited usefulness because the port cannot support feeding the greater valve curtain area so the extra size in the valve or the maximum lift is of no real value with these heads. Actually porting out the vane is damnned useful to flow. Keep in mind that anything that causes the intake flow to slow makes the engine more cammy, so bigger valves, bigger ports while capable of feeding higher RPMs only push the suboptimal lower RPM performance into higher RPMs. Of course knowing this you can play a lot of games by changing around parts other than the camshaft or rocker ratio.
Since the piston is .045 in the hole already, putting on a thicker head gasket will only reduce squish and quench will make the engine more prone to detonation even-though the compression ratio came down. Since your compression is not out of line (but I'm guessing at the cam closure point for that statement) using the .026 gasket gives you a .071 inch squish/quench which is a bit wide but really is pretty close to what the production Swirl Port with 193 heads has with its dished piston. You can probably get away with this. you actaully might be able to get away with a .015 or .019 shim gasket which while increasing the compression ratios will also increase the squish/quench function. Think of this as tunning, a major thing to mess with but tuning none-the-less.
Trading ignition advance for compression ratio and or squish/quench effectiveness isn't a good idea. Especially where compression is concerned you lose a lot more power by sub optimizing the ignition advance than you do being a little low on compression. If detonation is a problem you can gain on it with a bit richer mixture and/or a little cooler running engine and intake manifold. That includes terminating the heat cross over if there is one on the intake. It is advisable to try different brands of gasoline, you will find that not everybody's high octane fuel has a consistent anti-detonation response within the engine as it gets heated up as its advertised octane rating would suppose.
Gears and weight are important too as the amount of resistance to crankshaft rotation goes down (stiffer gears and/or less weight) the engine's resistance to detonation goes up. Explaining that is another thesis so I'll skip it for now.
Data off your cam's timing card would be helpful.
Since the piston is already in the hole 0.040" then might as well run the thick head gasket and drop cr as much as possible. Quench is already gone with the piston so deep.
fyi, 38 inch tall tires and a 4.11 gear is the same as a 28" tall tire with 3.08 gears. So, more gear will help with tires that tall.
Your engine will work the way it is with reduced ignition timing, but not ideal. Power and mpg will be reduced with low timing.

|I'm hearing about 50/50 from everywhere half say its fine half say it won't work I guess I'm just going to run it and see what happens. But witch head gasket should I use the .026 or the .039?
Compression should be 9.45 with a -0.040" deck:
727cc :cylinder
64cc: head
8cc:head gasket
8cc :deck height (-0.040)
6cc :4 relief piston
Still a little too high for that cam. Look at the next size bigger cam from summit racing. Use an intake duration of 210 to 214 at 0.050", 112 LSA, plus 8 to 10 degrees more on the exhaust as compared to the intake.
Double check the deck height. Makes a big difference in compression ratio. If your engine had a zero deck then the cr would be (727+78)/78=10.3.
882 heads flow better than the swirl port heads.
|Motosledneck 12
|The pistons I have are 1.54 instead of the normal 1.56 for hight from the pin to the top of the piston. but they say that they are a 10.2:1 with 64cc heads. The block has never been decked. Also i have metal GM performance head gaskets that are .026 thickness. Would that be better? But then my compression goes up even more with those
|You would need a thinner head gasket to bring your quench down, ideally to somewhere in the area of .040 to .050 in your case. However, you said the block is decked at .040. That seems kind of high to me. Most stock blocks are .020 to .025, unless the engine has been rebuilt and the pistons are sitting lower.
|Motosledneck 12
|Is there anything I could do like maybe get a thicker head gasket maybe?
Using Pat Kelly's calculator and the folowing variables:
4.030" bore
3.48" stroke
65.0cc chamber
0.039" gasket
4.030" gasket bore?(minimum)
0.040" deck
5.0cc valve reliefs
I come up with a 9.40:1 static compression ratio, and a 0.079" squish/quench. Both are too high for pump gas IMHO.
Motosledneck 12, I believe your CR will be more in the range of 9.5-1. I am running a 69 3/4t chev 2x with a grandma 4psd, 4.10 dana rear. Have a .010 350 with flattops and 2 eyebrows valve cutouts. A 650 holley, 2 plane performer intake, set of those 190cc, 64cc Proform aluminum heads, Howards cam with 213* @.050 .430 lift. Put some long slot 1.6 stamped rockers on for a lift of .458 Have a Proform HEI with 12* initial and a total of 36* @ 2800rpm. Engine idles @ 650rpm with manifold vacuum at 15.5 inches. With the vac adv. to manif. vac. it runs at 53* total@ 3000rpm. I get no ping and run 87oct. pump gas. Engine is a little lazy below 1100rpm. If I up the intial to around 18* it pulls great off idle with no ping but my total goes to 60*. I am going to find a better adj. vac. can ( this can doesn't adj. it out properly) to bring the total down with vac adv. to 48* and set the initial to 16*. Obviously I have a little more tuning and adj. to timing management to do but the combo works very well. Also I feel a slight off idle, tip in, lean condition. I will be addressing this after I adj. the timing curve to what I need.
Your combo I believe will work fine....your just lacking in the heads flow. You will be fine, just watch your timing. Initial, mech. and total with vac. and make sure you don't run lean anywhere in the range you operate the engine.

Marshall in Michigan asks:
How can I make sub folder?
Hello Marshall and thanks for the great question. It is very simple to make sub folders on your Windows 7 computer. You can make sub folders to help you better organize your documents. You can make as many as you wish by performing the following steps. First, let's create a folder…
Create a folder on the Desktop
First, we will create a folder on your desktop. Minimize all windows that you have open so you can see your desktop.
Right-click on any blank area of your desktop, and then click New. Click Folder from the menu.
Windows 7 will automatically create a new folder and put it on your desktop. The folder will be named "New Folder" automatically.
Rename the folder by clicking on the name and typing a new name for it. Click anywhere outside of the folder and the name is changed.
You can now start using your new folder by putting new files into it. You and drag and drop any file into the new folder.
Create a Sub folder in Windows Explorer Inside other Folders
In most cases, you will want to create sub folders somewhere other than your desktop. You can easily create sub folders in Windows Explorer.
Open Windows Explorer by clicking the Start button, type Windows Explorer in the search bar, and then click on Windows Explorer in the search results.
Navigate to the place where you want to create a subfolder.
Right-click any empty area and select New. Select Folder from the menu. A new folder will automatically appear at the bottom of the list. The default name for the new folder is New Folder. You can easily change this name by clicking on it and then retyping it.
You can also click the New Folder button from the toolbar at the top to create a new subfolder even quicker.
We hope this tip has been helpful for you in creating sub folders on your computer.

Gatwick has better cycle accessibility than other London airports with a national cycle route running right through the airport.
Gatwick welcomes cyclists. National Cycle Route 21 (NCR 21) goes right past the South Terminal and the transit to North Terminal. The route runs from Greenwich in London, through Horley and Crawley (where it meets NCR 20), to Groombridge, Eastbourne and Pevensey.
To get to the terminal from NCR 21, please use the lift under South Terminal. You can also get to the train station or North Terminal direct from South Terminal too.
Parking your bicycle
We currently have some cycle parking near the South Terminal and transit station at car park B, which is next to the NCR 21 near the cycle path tunnel under Airport Way (see map). Please ensure that all cycles are left in designated locations.
The cycle parking area is monitored by CCTV and car park security staff. However, cycles are left entirely at your own risk and Gatwick Airport Ltd cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage to cycles or equipment left in this area.
If you leave your cycle at the airport cycle parking facility, we recommend that you take appropriate security precautions:
- Use a good quality lock (e.g. D-shackle or multi-braided cable with "Sold Secure" or similar rating)
- Lock both wheels and the frame to the bike stand. Ideally use more than one lock.
- Take removable parts with you where possible
Shower facilities
There are shower facilities located within the Regus Express lounge before security in the South Terminal. These cost £20.

1 About
Normal Haskell '98 types are considered Rank-1 types. A Haskell '98 type signature such as
a -> b -> a
implies that the type variables are universally quantified like so:
forall a b. a -> b -> a
can be floated out of the right-hand side of
if it appears there, so:
forall a. a -> (forall b. b -> a)
is also a Rank-1 type because it is equivalent to the previous signature.However, a
appearing within the left-hand side of
cannot be moved up, and therefore forms another level or rank. The type is labeled "Rank-N" where N is the number of
s which are nested and cannot be merged with a previous one. For example:
is a Rank-2 type because the latter
(forall a. a -> a) -> (forall b. b -> b)
can be moved to the start but the former one cannot. Therefore, there are two levels of universal quantification.
Rank-N type reconstruction is undecidable in general, and some explicit type annotations are required in their presence.
Rank-2 or Rank-N types may be specifically enabled by the language extensions
{-# LANGUAGE Rank2Types #-}
{-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes #-}

Scott Gomez's NHL career isn't over yet.
The former Canadien, who will turn 34 on Dec. 23, has signed a one-year contract with the Florida Panthers after posting 2-13-15 totals in 39 games with the San Jose Sharks last season to go along with a minus-10.
"Scott is a veteran centre who adds further depth to the middle of our lineup," Panthers GM Dale Tallon said on the team's website. "He is a quick and skilled forward, with a wealth of hockey experience, including two Stanley Cup titles, who will be a leader for our younger players."
The Bodog betting website has the Panthers listed as the biggest longshot to win the Stanley Cup next season at 150-1 odds. The Panthers make their first visit to the Bell Centre next season on Sunday, Dec. 15.
The Canadiens bought out the last two years of Gomez's seven-year, $51.5-million contract on the first day of training camp last season.
Former Canadiens GM Bob Gainey acquired Gomez – and his contract – from the Rangers before the 2009-10 season in a seven-player deal that sent 2007 first-round draft pick Ryan McDonagh to New York. McDonagh, a defenceman, posted 4-15-19 totals in 47 games last season and was plus-13.
In 941 career games, Gomez has 171 goals and 530 assists for 701 points.

|Ford Focus Builds & General Showroom Post pictures and information of your Focus being built or your car images here. We want to see your Focus! More Images: Visit Our Online Ford Focus Gallery
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Meh leave it silver. No matter what paint you use, it'll eventually rub off and look like poo. Just my opinion. It looks good as is
Alright jetters I'm looking for some input on this idea I had for my old Saleen Focus Shift knob to see if I can use it in my car and kinda make it fit in with a red car. Basically I took some Testors red metallic paint and painted the rings and the screws in it and I really like the way it came out. Now, what I want to know is if I should get a similar paint in black and do the rest of the knob or leave it silver. I am planning on some black shift boots with red stitching in the near future so just to keep that in mind. Here's the eye candy:
|alright thanks sleepy I wasn't sure when I put that in the thread if it would be an improvement...kinda the reason I posted on here before buying everything.
|HERE is the link to our SVT sticky threads, they will have all the info you need to know what direction to take with your car. Like it was said that shorty header would be 5 steps back. A lot of folks get the factory header ceramic coated to cut down heat and make it look all pretty.
|Thanks Svvift really like the color theme you have for yours, and I know cutting it up wasn't the best idea but the fact that I was able to use the factory mounting on them instead of fabricating something and re-wiring it, to me was a good trade off. I do think I may tint the lenses or niteshade them cause they are a lil bright and you can see them during the day.
ouch.. why oh why? poor svt upper grill
and yes, like people have said..
the svt is pretty much maxed out performance wise.. not many things better to add to it..
a tune does do wonders.. i personally have Tom's Tune and i love it. can't speak of other tunes since i only have his.
i am running the svt exhaust with a orp and lunch box delete. soon, i will get a borla/magnaflow customized to my liking..
welcome to the svt life. lol
I agree. The grille you cut up could have got you some decent money if you would have sold it.
As far as intakes, if you're looking for more power, there is no better intake than your factory SVT intake.
Same goes with the header, nothing really compares to the power output.. This is why all the non SVT owners want to swap to that header.
I see where you're coming from, want to swap stuff to make it nicer and more "you" but tbh majority of your engine is practically the best there is.
One question i have for you is, why a Cobra badge?
Looks like you're on the right path with a few things- Massive massacre bars and a CFM adjustable sts. I'm not trying to be rude, but you should take the advice of the people that chime in here.
Here is the only JBA shorty header I have found:
Why would you want to take off the SVT header for that?
Here is the header you already have on your car:
There is really no comparison, you need to keep the stock header - there is no need to explain why.
Did you cut up the upper SVT grille for the billet? That is a hard grille to find, you can find the SVT lowers on eBay all day, but never an upper. It kills me to see people ruining hard to find parts. When I had my hood plastidipped, I used 3 cans and it still wasn't enough, cause it was very hard to remove.
If I was you, I would save my money and do it right the first time, trust me - I have been there with where you are headed & it's not a good place.
You can get a euro facelift grille off eBay for $50, I am sure that billet costed about $30. Here is the exact euro grille that was on my car, from the same seller:
I plastidipped that black and had it on my car until I got a Hofele
It is your car, do what makes you happy, but please look around and see what other people are doing.
You wanted advice on which parts to buy, please take it!
Continuous's Build Thread
Since I made one of these on Focal Jet I figured I'd start one on here as well.
So basically I've recently purchased a 2004 ZX3 SVT in Infra-red and I decided that I needed a build thread. Just to give you all some of my background I am a Ford Certified Service Technician so the work I'll be doing is somewhat easier becuase I have access to the manuals. That doesn't mean I won't share that information with any of my fellow Foci drivers just hit me up if you need the info. I setup my build lists by categories and I may need some of your help to decide which manufacturer to go with in some of the parts I purchase. Any of the parts I have options afterwards are where you my fellow Foci enthusiasts come in if you have an opinion on the choices let them be known. Now my car besides the wheels the car is completely stock. So here are my categories:
Ebay Hvac Knobs
Shift Knob(not sure what one I want yet open to suggestions)
E Brake Handle(same as above)
Redline Accessories Shift and Ebrake Boots
CFM Adjustable Short Throw ShifterINSTALLED
Redline Tuning SVT Dead Pedal
Redline Tuning SVT Floor and Cargo Mats

How she looked as I bought her:
Then I Deleted the Lunchbox and attempted to hollow the cat was not so successful with the cat.
I received some late presents in the mail in the last couple days, yesterday I received this:
I just did a test fit and install of it today still will be removed and plastidipped black but doesn't look too bad, I will take some daylight pics though cause the lamps behind it aren't as visible in normal daylight.
And last but not least I received one of my two ORP's today as well as my Plastidip and Glossifier from Dipyourcar.com.
(Dogs can't keep their noses out of the way sometimes, this one will be for inspection purposes since we just have a visual inspection of emissions devices and this one looks like it has a cat in it yet.)
(This is for the Grille which is staying matte black and the rest is for my roof doing black then glossifier.)

Fiber production itself is extremely ecofriendly, due to the closed loop system (the solvent used is recycled by almost 100% in the closed loop process). To achieve an even greater comfort, we have added Cashmere to the blend for its amazing softness, more luxurious handfeel and appearance.

The Original
The original expression of our elegant, floral spirit and the real backbone of the Glenmorangie range.
Please have a browse and enjoy all the content.
At the end of the eighth century AD, on a windy peninsula in the far North East of Scotland, one of the most significant pieces of early European sculpture, the Hilton of Cadboll Stone, was being carefully carved by the Picts.
Centuries later, battered by time and half destroyed, the original stone was relocated to the National Museum in Scotland for safe keeping. The highly skilled carvings on the Cadboll Stone would come to inspire our brand emblem, motivating us to commission Barry Grove, a local sculptor, to recreate the stone by hand with a hammer and chisel.
Work began on this enormous slab of sandstone in 2000, but it would take Barry over four years of painstaking labour before the sculpture, a testament to the skill of both the ancient Pictish and modern day Scottish people, could be re-installed on its original location, on Glenmorangie Distillery land.
The original expression of our elegant, floral spirit and the real backbone of the Glenmorangie range.
The purity of the Design
We've always realised that pursuing perfection is rather a long journey. We just know it's a trip worth making.
Our stills are the tallest in Scotland. They are 8 metres high (26ft 1/4 inches) with their long copper necks standing at 5.14 metres (16ft 10 1/4 inches), the same height as a fully grown adult giraffe! Which means that only the very lightest and purest vapours make it to the top, giving a smoother, more elegant whisky.
At Glenmorangie we select the finest oak casks in which to mature our whisky. But that's not all, because we then only use each one twice for Original (whilst many others use their up to five or six times), ensuring that the maximum amount of flavour is always extracted during maturation, delivering a rounder, smoother taste.
Having pioneered extra maturation nearly 30 years ago, our whisky creators continue to travel the world in their search for exceptional casks. Casks that will provide additional, intriguing layers of flavours to the original character of Glenmorangie.
Our ethos brought to life through our collaboration with three acclaimed artists
The rarest and oldest member of the Glenmorangie family, this is a single malt of notable class and intensity.
Dr Bill Lumsden, an expert in his field, has spent over twenty years experimenting in order to perfect the different finishes that make up our extra-matured range.
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban, Glenmorangie Lasanta and Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or will be first matured in American white oak casks for ten years before being extra matured in a hand-selected cask.
Ruban is Gaelic for Ruby, representing the finest Ruby Port casks from the 'Quintas' or wine estates of Portugal in which Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban is extra matured.
'Lasanta' is Gaelic for warmth and passion, a nod to the Spanish provenance of our Oloroso and PX Sherry butts in which we extra-mature Glenmorangie Lasanta.
Both Gaelic and French for gold, 'Or' is so named because of the rich colour that develops once Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or has been extra matured in the finest Sauternes wine casks from France.
Elegant but full bodied this whisky has spent ten years maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before being extra-matured for a further two years in Oloroso and PX Sherry butts from Jerez in Spain.
The darkest and most intense whisky in the extra-matured range, Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban has spent 10 years maturing in American white oak casks, before being transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal.
Meet the Men of Tain, the select craftsmen entrusted with the secrets of our distillery. Men whose dedication, skill and attention to detail proves that the Glenmorangie story is not just about whisky, it's also about people.
There was a time when the Men of Tain would queue up for a daily dram of whisky with their lunch. Huddled together they would pass around a metal cup - blackened through constant use - and share a joke at the expense of one of the lads. This tradition, as well as the practice of handing out an extra dram for unpopular jobs like cleaning out the washback, is still fondly remembered by some of our more long serving men. Perhaps a little too fondly you might say.
Glenmorangie Finealta is a painstaking recreation of a recipe dating back to 1903.
The 18 Years Old is a single malt Scotch whisky of serious distinction.
Local Treasures
In the year 297AD, the Romans discovered a proud and free race ruling in the North-East of Scotland.
The Romans called them Picts - the painted people - because they decorated their bodies with inks and pigments. On their skins they depicted the sweeping lines of the landscape, the colours of the heavens and nature's Aurora Borealis: a dazzling display of red, green and violet that arcs and flickers in the night sky.
These people cultivated the very same golden fields that surround our Highland home, fields where we today harvest the barley that becomes our malt. And it was here, in an open glade that borders the sea, that the Picts carved their story into the Cadboll Stone. An ancient treasure that, with its intricate, highly skilled carvings, has become the inspiration for our signet and the perfect symbol of our brand
The Tarlogie Springs, Glenmorangie's own water source and most prized asset, is the product of rain that has been forcing its way through layers of limestone and sandstone for a hundred years. These natural minerals give it its 'hard' water qualities and provide Glenmorangie with a raw ingredient unique amongst Highland distilleries. Our ancient ancestors drank here, considering the pure, mineral-rich waters of the Springs to be sacred. We think they're pretty special too!
Our distillery's singular setting is the inspiration for our latest limited edition release – Glenmorangie Dornoch.
The Glenmorangie Distillery tour gives you unparalleled access to the distillery and warehouses.
The story of Glenmorangie Dornoch, our new limited edition single malt whisky with a sense of place and sense of responsibility.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I know this was a long time ago now but have fixed most of the issues.
1: Plugged in a after market stereo and it worked fine so was probably a dud stereo
2: Tried a multimeter on the lock button micro switch in the fob and found there is no continuity along the switch so have found some new switches on ebay so must be a common fault.
3: The fault where the speedo hit zero and lost power steering was a speedo sensor fault which was fixed at the garage.
yet to have a look at the windows switch lights on the door but noticed that they work more in extreme cold weather so not sure what that is lol.
Just thought I'd update my findings incase this is of any help to anybody in the future
|Check the grounds under the hood and behind both driver and passenger kick panels, there were 3 total on my car behind the kick panels.
Cheers mate thanks for the advice. Will get under the bonnet today and look for any loose wires. Any advice the best areas to look through experience ie. any problem areas that come about with older foci.
|Well we don't have wiring diagrams for UK Foci, and things are likely to be different between RHD and LHD. I can give you this advice though, when I have problems with several seemingly unrelated electrical systems, the problem is usually earthing somewhere. You have to check all the negative connections- especially at the battery.
Electrical issue I think
Having trouble with my Electrics in need of abit of help.
First of all I've checked all the fuses in both boxes on my focus including the fuse behind the fuse box hidden behind the glove box.
My Stereo wont even turn on but I dont know if it a broken stereo as I have not long had the car or whether it is maybe a fault in the wiring somewhere on the car that could be causing it, also checked the fuses.
When I turn the car headlights on in the car I notice everything is lit up barring my drivers side window controls. although this is not a major issue im just wondering why its doing this as Im also having trouble with the central locking and Im not sure if its all connected.
The central locking I can unlock the doors with the fob and open my boot with the fob but cant lock the doors with fob I have to use the key.
Ive noticed when I start my car that the button next to rear window heater button. The internal air circulation one always switches on on startup Im not sure if this is normal? But when its wet sometimes it wont switch on and wont work at all.
A couple of times when the car is turning on full lock ive had the issue of the car just stopping with the engine still running and the steering really stiff as if there is no power steering.
I know there is a hell of a lot of information here my guess is I have a dodgy wire somewhere that maybe stripped a little or loose? Any help with any of this would be greatly appreciated. Anything I can do myself is alot better than the garage charging me to fix everything.
Cheers guys

We have having almost the exact same experience with our Male at 10 weeks. It seems he has poop down, pee, not so much. He has never soiled his crate. This morning he pee'd so long I think he fell asleep. That was so funny.
I can be thankful it is either on a rug or vinyl flooring 99% of the time. I know he will get it but tips would be appreciated here as well.
It seems our last shepherd, a female, caught on much faster. Any reality in that statement?
|I'm certainly no expert but I also have an 11 week GSD (only had him 4 days so far) and I've been taking him out the same door to the same spot and I bring a small piece of boiled chicken and if he goes, he gets the chicken and lots of praise. Still struggling a bit bc it's freezing out and he just wants to go back inside when we go out. He's had a few accidents inside but he is starting to get it
11 week old potty training issues
Hey Guys,
I have a 11 week old GSD puppy obviously and i have had him for a few months and as soon as i got him from the breeder I started with crate training. He does well with this. He sleeps at night in there and when i can't watch him i put him in there. Well during the crate training i started the house breaking process as well. Watching him all the time and taking him out like 20 mins after meals and after he wakes up and after i take him out of the crate. He lets me know when he needs to go #2 but he still urinates in the house. He holds it in is crate which i know dogs don't like to soil where they sleep. Its like if he gets the urge to urinate even if its a little he will just go regardless of where i am or where he is. I have tried praises when bringing him outside to urinate and treats but he can't seem to grasp it. Is there any tips you guys and give me or another routine to try or maybe a link? I'm really at a loss here and can't seem to get him to understand that i don't want him to urinate in the house. I heard don't rub their noses in it because it doesn't work. I would really appreciate it guys.

Item is just as described! Nice quality, can't wait to use it! After tons of shopping around this was best price too! Super fast turn around on processing and delivery. Over all very happy!

I purchased this for my upcoming wedding to use for a guest book. It is very beautiful, the silver area is very pretty and its much more elegant than having people just sign with a marker. The price on this site was much lower than anywhere else, I've seen it up to $200 for the same thing. The personalization is also a nice touch and I'm glad it comes on the frame and not the silver part so it stands out. [...] Can't wait to use it!

Happy Birthday ultra-goddess francesca!
It doesn't get much better than having your 12-yo son tell the class
not to whine over their one-mile physical education requirement
because, "my mother has run 150 miles."

I agree! Happy Birthday Francesca!
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
Happy Birthday!
Running is stupid
Happy happy birthday, Francesca! You're such an inspiration! (And a bad influence...)
I think this is the picture Tet was trying to post:
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
Thanks Carolyn.\
since I didn't run up any of them as Francesca is doing,
I had plenty of time to count 'em and those would appear
to be part of the 100-plus stairs leading up to the top
of the first overlook over Puget Sound.
Happy Birthday Francesca. Have an ultra good time.
Happy Birthday ultra queen! Sorry I came late for the birthday party! I hope you had a great day!

Dick Pinney's Guidelines: March's arrival brings ideal ice fishing conditions
The plate of supposedly 24 fillets will be minus at least six or seven of them. But Jane's a very poor thief. That tell-tale smile of hers immediately indicts her of the crime of fish fillet thievery! It's just so funny and it's a big thrill for me to know how much she enjoys the fruits of my labor.
But that's not the only way to fish for them. Some friends of mine will punch a bunch of holes well within a few steps away from where the will set on a bucket.
A little wind hitting the flag will set the bait to slowly moving, a great fish motivation.
When the crappie are hitting really well, there's not much time spent sitting on the bucket and the catch of fish will make your jig-caught bucket look pretty small!
Commercial hook and line fishing is allowed and a lot of people supplement their income doing this each winter, especially charter boat guides on the Great Lakes. His approach is to use tip-ups and jig combinations. He will never set a tip-up in one place without drilling a second hole right next to the tip-up.When a flag goes off on the tip-up, instead of pulling that fish in he'll drop a baited jig line into the hole next to it and pull as many yellow perch from it as fast as they can, until the school moves away. These schools of fish normally don't stay in one place very long.
In finishing, we like to add a unique twist to how to use some of your yellow perch fillets.
Drop them, a few at a time, into a pot of boiling water. When they curl up, quickly remove them with a slotted spoon and set them on a tray of ice. Serve them as an appetizer, along with some spicy tomato and horseradish sauce before your main meal of conventionally cooked fish.

The Leader in Complete Disc Brake Systems
Shopping Cart0 item(s) - $0.00
Give us a Call!
-or fill out the form below-
Each brake conversion kit we sell is designed and engineered to fit a specific vehicle and application. Every step is taken to make your conversion as much of a bolt-on as possible.
Individual hobbyist customers and dealer/installers praise our ability to listen and determine the best solution for each project. Have an issue or question? Or simply want to review an installation guide? Just call. We'd love to help.
Making your installation easy really matters to us. We supply components that match the application, pre-assemble as much as possible and package everything carefully and in an organized manner while providing you with clear, concise instructions.
Every part we use is carefully chosen as if we were going to install it on our own cars. Since we started in 1983 we've said, "If we can't be proud of it, we won't sell it."
"If we can't be proud of it, we won't sell it."
1969 Plymouth Road Runner Front Disc Brake Conversion Kit - Rallye Series
Rallye Series: Performance braking for 15" wheels - The first of the two options in the Rallye Series is a system that converts original drum brakes to disc brakes using a high quality 4-piston billet aluminum caliper and mounting brackets along with the added benefits of slotted and drilled rotors. This upgrade gives a distinct, modern performance look and feel. All of this gives increased performance over the Legend Series but still allows the use of stock 15" wheels.
For the Rallye Series, we have developed a completely new caliper. The caliper is CNC machined from billet aluminum. It uses four stainless steel pistons that are double sealed for both pressure and weather meeting D.O.T. specifications. The caliper is finished in an attractive clear anodized finish giving your 1969 Plymouth Road Runner a sharp look. We even go as far as using stainless steel abutments keeping the pads from wearing the aluminum body while keeping the pad movement and noise to a minimum.
All of the brackets are machined from T-6061 billet aluminum and then finished with a black hardcoat finish. This gives your 1969 Road Runner a brake upgrade with not only good looks, but a bracket that can be held to exacting tolerances making the installation that much easier on your existing OEM spindles.
Our Rallye Series brake conversion kit for the '69 Road Runner uses nothing but the highest quality components. Our unicast rotors are cast with a thick rotor surface and vented for proper brake cooling. For the rotors, we provide high quality Timken bearings that will provide years of trouble free driving.
The systems we have developed under the Rallye Series brand are a high performing kit for use inside stock and aftermarket 15" wheels. That means your '69 Plymouth Road Runner will get the performance of a larger rotor brakes system inside a smaller package. This is a great option for many RestoMods and restorations.
When you receive a Rallye Series brake kit, you get everything necessary to install the system on your 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. Every part from the dust caps to the stainless steel braided hoses and everything in between. If you purchase a power kit, you get the booster/master combination and a combination valve. Go with a manual kit and get the master cylinder and push rod along with the combination valve.
Please Note: The contents of your conversion kit are tied to your car's specific application type as selected above.

Why are disc brakes better than drum brakes?
Disc brakes are not subject to fade from heat or water. Disc brakes do not drift out of adjustment.
What kind of brake fluid should I use?
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid is recommended. DOT 5 or silicone brake fluid should not be used.
Does my new master cylinder need to be bench bled?
Yes, any time a new master cylinder is being installed it will have to be bench bled.
How much vacuum do I need for a power brake system?
You will need to have 18" Hg with the car at idle.
I just purchased a power disc brake conversion kit. Is the booster pin already set for my master cylinder?
All of the power disc brake conversion kits and booster / master cylinder kits we sell have the booster pin correctly set for the master cylinder.
What is a combination valve?
A combination valve incorporates metering and proportioning into one valve providing all necessary valving for disc/drum systems.
What are residual valves?
Residual valves maintain pressure on the brake lines. These are used for under-the-floor master cylinder brake systems. They are available in two versions, 2 lb. for disc brakes and 10 lb. for drum brakes.

OE Drum Spindle DB2311B (PDF)
Please Note:Must use 15" or larger wheels with this kit. The booster/master cylinder combo in the power kits may not allow adequate clearance for air grabber hoods.Included with all brake kits are clear, precise instructions with illustration and photos to help ease your installation.

We are even happy to email you installation instructions before you buy equipment. Just call and ask your sales/service rep.

I've been toying with the idea of going a car hauler route to have a 3 purpose trailer since parking space is a premium for me.
Use as a car hauler to transport my 75 bronco to and from trails.
Use as an AT trailer to transport 2 or 3 ATV's for riding and hunting
Build a removable , lockable wood storage box on the front 1/2 to store decoys and haul them , atv and other items to and from the blind.
Anybody ever done this?
PS, I do have an ATV trailer that I built a 6L X 4W X 3H lockable storage box for and place it on the front 1/2 of the trailer for storing 18 big feet and silhouettes in and then carry the bagged dekes in the back with a cargo net over them when I hunt. Then I remove the bagged dekes and keep in the garage until the next trip.
Is a Car hauler too heavy to use effectively in the fields? Anybody have experience with using this type of setup?

Stephen Calkins appointed associate vice president for academic personnel at Wayne State University
DETROIT (Jan. 9, 2008) – Wayne State University has appointed law professor Stephen Calkins as associate vice president for academic personnel. He will have primary responsibility for managing the collective bargaining agreement with the faculty union, supervising the hiring of faculty and academic staff, managing the promotion and tenure process and resolving issues related to academic personnel.
The appointment was announced by Nancy S. Barrett, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs.
Calkins, who has been a Wayne State faculty member since 1983, also was director of graduate studies in the law school prior to his current appointment to the provost's office. He served as interim dean of the law school for the 1992-93 academic year. An expert on antitrust and consumer law, he was general counsel for the Federal Trade Commission in 1995-97 while on leave from the WSU Law School. He has co-authored or edited three books, is in demand nationally as a speaker and has consulted frequently for federal, state and foreign government agencies.
"With his extensive background in law, teaching and administration – and his familiarity with Wayne State University – Professor Calkins brings an impressive combination of talents and knowledge that will be an asset in performing the duties of associate vice president for academic personnel," Barrett said. "Steve is a valuable addition to the provost's office leadership team."
Calkins, who lives in Northville, Mich., has served on the Wayne State Academic Senate, including its policy committee, and on the university's promotion and tenure committee. He also has served on the Graduate Council and on many other university committees.
"I would like to congratulate Professor Calkins on behalf of the Wayne State Law School faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends," said Dean Frank H. Wu. "His outstanding experience and expertise in both law and academia will no doubt prove highly beneficial to Wayne State University students for years to come."
Calkins earned his law degree from Harvard University and a bachelor's degree from Yale University. He plans to continue teaching a consumer law course during the current academic term and expects to do some teaching in the future. In addition to Wayne State, he has taught at the University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania and University of Utrecht (Netherlands).
He is a member of the American Law Institute, a senior fellow of the American Antitrust Institute and a fellow of the American Bar Foundation. He also has a leadership position in the American Bar Association and is a former chair of the Association of American Law Schools Antitrust and Economic Regulation Committee. He received an ABA Section of Antitrust Law 50th Anniversary Publications Award and the Federal Trade Commission Award for Distinguished Service.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized faculty, Wayne State Law School students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

To publish this post, I must first discredit myself. I'm 42, and while I love what I do for a living, Michael Dell is 47 and his company was already doing $1 million a day in business by the time he was 31. I look at guys like that and think: "What the h*** have I been doing with my time?!?" Nevertheless, Dell is a company I've followed more closely than any other but Apple since the mid-2000s, and in the past two years I've had the opportunity to meet with several Dell executives and employees - from Montpellier, France to Austin, Texas.
Because I cover both PC hardware as well as client virtualization here at Forrester, it puts me in regular contact with Dell customers who will inevitably ask what we as a firm think about Dell's latest announcements to go private, just as they have for HP these past several quarters since the circus started over there with Mr. Apotheker. Hopefully what follows here is information and analysis that you as an I&O leader can rely on to develop your own perspective on Dell with more clarity.

If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.
