Man pleads guilty in overdose death
July 12, 2013 10:50 AM
CLARION (AP) — A man has pleaded guilty to injecting the heroin that led to a western Pennsylvania woman's death and then moving her body to her car to make it appear she had overdosed on her own.
The (Oil City) Derrick reported Shawn Ryan Carr, 30, of Kittanning, pleaded guilty to drug delivery resulting in death, abuse of a corpse and other crimes after Clarion County prosecutors agreed to drop a more serious third-degree murder charge against him.
Under terms of Wednesday's plea agreement, he will face eight to 16 years in prison when he's sentenced Aug. 14.
The mother of Devan Knapp, 19, reported her missing Jan. 13, and her body was found in her car two days later on a road outside Clarion.

State Senator Lazich's Weekly Insight
Investing in Innovative Worker Training Programs
This week the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) announced the first round of recipients for the Fast Forward grants. The awards total more than $2.6 million, for 32 projects about equipping workers with manufacturing, customer service, and construction skills. The projects promote innovative partnerships between industries, organizations, and technical colleges to get individuals demand skills to attain employment or higher wages.
Wisconsin's Fast Forward program was signed into law during the Spring of 2013 and authorized $15 million grant funding to provide employers with a skilled workforce, and an opportunity for underemployed and unemployed individuals to secure a family supporting job. The law created a new department at DWD, the Office of Skills and Development to implement the program, and provides additional resources for the Labor Market Information System (LMIS), connecting job creators and job seekers.
DWD announced they are seeking applications for the second round of training grants. The second round will focus on health care, information technology, transportation and distribution, financial services, manufacturing, and construction. Visit www.WisconsinFastForward.com, for additional information about grants and applying.
I support Governor Walker's proposal to make additional investments in Wisconsin's fast forward program.
Six Confirmed PED Virus Cases in Wisconsin
The Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) virus causes diarrhea, vomiting, and severe dehydration in hogs. The disease is not transmissible to humans. The costly and highly contagious disease was discovered within the United States during April 2013, killing an estimated one to four million swine. To date there are six confirmed PED virus cases in Wisconsin.
To protect Wisconsin's swine industry, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) banned the usual spring pig weigh-ins that take place in preparation for Wisconsin's many county fairs. DATCP recommends cancelling all shows that pigs would return to their farm of origin, also known as non-terminal shows.
Swine farmers are also encouraged to routinely wash trucks and trailers between loads, and regularly wash boots and clothing to minimize their risk of the virus entering their farms. Additional information is at: datcp.wi.gov.
Affordable Care Act Not Appealing to Young Wisconsin Residents
The newly released federal numbers show 43 percent of the 56,436 Wisconsin residents that enrolled through the online federal exchanges are between the ages of 55 and 64, and only 20 percent are between the ages of 18 and 34. The large imbalance between older and young enrollees could sky rocket the state's health insurance rates.
According to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, nearly 90 percent of Wisconsinites selecting a plan through the exchanges are receiving federal assistance towards their premiums.
Student Data Mining
The Assembly Committee on Education approved Assembly Bill 616 (AB 616) and Assembly Bill 618 (AB 618) Wednesday. The bill limits student data collection by the Department of Public Instruction and private companies. AB 616 and AB 618 are available for scheduling for action by the State Assembly.
Public Service Commission Accepting Applications for Broadband Expansion Grants
The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin announced it is accepting applications for Broadband Expansion Grants for Fiscal Year 2014. This is a grant program proposed by Governor Walker for the first time in the recent state budget, 2013 Wisconsin Act 20. The Commission may award up to $500,000 of grant money during Fiscal Year 2014 to improve broadband communications services within Wisconsin.
The Commission expects the grant program will provide a significant step toward addressing the demand for high speed Internet and IP-enabled telecommunications services in areas of the state that are un-served or have limited Internet provider options.
Applications are due March 21, 2014.
Application instructions and additional information may be found at: http://psc.wi.gov/utilityInfo/tele/broadband/grants/bbGrantJan2014.htm.

Next Ubuntu sounds good
6 comments:
Ubuntu 12.04 is going to be awesome.ReplyDelete
@Chema Brother you don't Unity find it interesting or appealing(may be because you are a self professed "custimisation freak") but Mark has said they will look into this aspect for 12.04 plus many other things and may be You will also like it.
Thanks Mohammad!ReplyDelete
Very much doubt it. It's not to do with lack of customization, really, it's just that it is not a good product. So far, unlike GNOME Shell, which is a paradigm shift with consistent ideas all over the place, Unity is simply a glorified menu. That wouldn't be that bad in itself, but the Apple fanboi approach behind the global menu, changing window icons location, removing options for no reason, etc.
I don't know, I respect that Ubuntu creates its own "personality", but I would like a bit more thought before changes happen apparently just for the sake of it.
Then, on top of that is the fact that it just works like crap. Compiz wasn't exactly the most solid block to build foundations on and it shows, plus the development has been rushed and delivered to the public in Alpha state. That may be the only way to get something worthwhile in the end, as Aaron Seigo would probably say himself, but I don't agree.
Like I said, regardless of whether one likes it or not, GNOME Shell simply makes sense. Yes, it lacks customization options and there is still polishing due, but it's undeniable that after a bit of getting used to, it doesn't get that much better in terms of productivity.
Anyways, I am keeping my eyes open and Ubuntu 12.04 may be the first Ubuntu I use since 10.10 (cough, the days I spend with 11.04 don't count)...
Take care
PS: Mate, if you can please go back to the Kubuntu forum and share the solution to the volume muting problem you had, I think it would be beneficial to all.

What kind of user is Unity targeting? what real (work) problems is Unity solving?ReplyDelete
Unfortunately Desktop Environment designers has taken a lot of decisions without listening to users, they don't ask if people want x feature they just ask if works as they expected and push it anyway.
In my last office people just changed windows and office this year, they kept using XP and Office 2003 because they didn't want to relearn all, they just wanted to get the job done and the menus got in the way.
When I faced the glory of plasma in KDE4 and the need to learn while my boss asked for the next document I switched, first to e17 which I like but it was a little unstable at the moment, then to LXDE which I still use because it don't get in the way when I'm working. I use KDE too but not that much and I won't recommend it anymore to new comers like I once did, my kid's friends now use LXDE ;-) (smart kids)
Probably developers consider themselves artists working for their own pleasure but it won't harm to have a little touch with reality and test their concepts in work environments.
BTW in KDE4 I want back the preview folders, not just one folder but those inside too, THAT was a useful feature.
I recently install Ubuntu 11.10. I like some of what it has to offer.ReplyDelete
Something with Unity is seriously amiss: both my CPU cores are consistently 50-80%. I *really* want to like this distribution. I can't.
I still have version 10.10 around. That version runs beautifully.
I do like KDE myself, but I agree it's probably not the best option for starters. There are things I dislike about it, though.ReplyDelete
As for Ubuntu 10.10, I think it is the best Ubuntu Release ever.
For a look at Gnome Shell done perfectly,(and beautifully), check out LinuxLex, it`s on the waiting list at Distrowatch.ReplyDelete

Many organisations today need to deliver change faster, at a lower cost and with lower risk. Quite a combination! Agile project management aims to do that by continually validating project progress against business objectives. It works well when combined with methods such as PRINCE2®, and helps to provide rigour and visibility around fast-paced development.
Good agile project management can develop the necessary trust and co-operation between the business and developers that is required for successful project delivery.
Agile is increasingly required by organisations to manage projects, and as such we have developed a 2 day course to introduce delegates to the key principles of Agile and how it can be used alongside the PRINCE2 method.
If you are looking for a bespoke course for your organisation, then please contact us for more information.

Sebakwe Recreational Park is situated in the Midlands of Zimbabwe and is easily accessed by all regions of the country.
Initially built with a small dam, an enlargement project was undertaken in 1981 to increase the size of the lake. After the enlargement, the main wall including the spillway, had been lengthened from 225 metres to 305 metres. The maximum height of the dam was raised to 47,2 metres. Consequently, the maximum depth of the water increased from 33,3 metres to 39,4 metres. The surface area of the water body became 2 600 hectares from the original 1 510 hectares, making it one of the largest in-land dams in Zimbabwe.
Presently, the rest camp has two lodges: a single one-bedroomed lodge and another two-bedroomed lodge.
Activities & Attractions
Fishing - the main activity
Boating - another major attraction
Game drives
How to get to Sebakwe Recreational Park
Access to the Park is gained from Kwekwe along the Mvuma Road. Visitors travel for 40 kilometres on tarred road then 10 kilometres on dirt road before reaching the turn-off to Sebakwe on the left. There is a further 8 kilometres of dirt road to the Park entrance gate. From Mvuma, the Sebakwe turn-off is 74 kilometres.

Posted by Dean Davison on August 26, 2011
For months, I've blogged about the reasons why battle cards are important, ways to evaluate battle cards, and most recently, the need for standards to tighten their value and give battle card creators and users common ground. In an upcoming webinar, that is open to the public and free of charge. I will tie this theme together with a focus on business impact.
On the webinar, I'll tackle a straightforward question:
"How do sales enablement professionals work cross-functionally to optimize sales content about competitors for reps so they can improve the win rate in competitive deals?"
I'll outline the path forward for sales enablement professionals to collaborate with their peers in marketing, product management, and competitive intelligence to build better battle cards by:
I hope you will join me on the 7th.
Posted by Dean Davison on August 8, 2011
During the first week in August, Forrester launched the Battle Card Standards Group to address head on the challenges and opportunities that they face in creating competitive battle cards for sales teams. This group is meeting weekly to outline industry standards to help sales enablement professionals bridge the gap between what a myriad of groups create and what sales reps actually need to win in competitive deals.
Some challenges mentioned by participants include:
"Sales reps often ask for negative information about competitors - FUD (fear, uncertainty, or doubt) – but, customers usually react negatively when reps say derogatory things about competitors."
"We struggle to map our battle cards to (1) different selling situations or engagement models (transactional vs. consultative) and (2) the levels of stakeholders that we are addressing (influencers, decision-makers, or purchasing professionals)."
"We structure battle cards in a way that reps can use directly in their conversations with customers."
As a next step, on August 9, 2011, I will be hosting a Forrester teleconference to address how:
1. Organizational silos result in battle cards that are mashups of product and competitive intelligence rather than assets that help improve win rates in competitive deals.
2. Gaps between battle card users (sales reps) and creators (corporate groups) are too wide to remedy by having sales "tell corporate what they need."
3. Industry standards for battle cards become a common ground for creators and users of battle cards to line up their expectations and delivery.
Posted by Dean Davison on August 1, 2011
Forrester's sales enablement team is launching a collaborative effort with our clients and other experts to establish standards for competitive battle cards and I invite you to participate – send me an email to join.
If you are on the receiving end of battle cards today, you know the big challenge intimately because I hear you daily in my inquiries saying things like, "how can we standardize battle cards that come from dozens of different teams?" and "How do we equip our sales reps to anticipate and respond to competitive obstacles more effectively?" For those of you on the supply side, I hear you too, saying, "every sales rep asks for different things" and "we don't have a way to measure the impact of our work, so we keep doing what we think is best."
Stuck in the middle are the folks battle cards are supposed to be helping in the first place – sales reps – who tell me, "it takes too much work to find and use our battle cards" and "I need competitive insights, but I tap other sources that are more reliable."
Consider the size of this opportunity! When we get this right, we will be able to connect battle cards with real business outcomes – like faster sales cycles and win rates against key competitors – and isn't that why we build battle cards in the first place? Opportunities will advance through the pipeline more quickly when sales reps have tools to anticipate and effectively respond to obstacles created by competitors.
We can fix this!
So why take this on now?

In an unusual move, a senator essentially killed his own controversial education legislation Monday and urged other lawmakers to look critically at their school proposals.
Sen. Stuart Reid, R-Odgen, asked Monday on the Senate floor to basically withdraw SJR5, which sought to change the state Constitution to give the governor and Senate approval power over the appointment of the state superintendent. He said he believed he had the votes to pass SJR5 through the Senate, but would rather see the issue discussed over the next year by a task force to be created under one of his other bills, SB169.
That bill would create a $64,000 education task force composed entirely of lawmakers with the goal of crafting an overall plan for how to improve education.
He also urged other lawmakers to reconsider some of their education bills, though he didn't name specific proposals.
"I imagine there's other legislation on the board today that should be given the same consideration … other pieces of legislation that, on their own, look very helpful and productive, but in context of where we want to go as a Legislature they might be distractions," Reid said.
SJR5 had drawn differing opinions from lawmakers and education leaders, with some saying it would have created more checks and balances, while others said it would have further politicized education.

Per Rosenthal ...
Bourn for 4 minor leaguers. Details to come.
As they say, "Sometimes the best "trades" are the one's you don't make!"
No top 50 prospects and best was Braves 9 prospect. Probably equivalent was Heisey + Boxberger and two lesser guys. Keep snoring Walt.
Go BLUE!!!
Here are the players Houston got for Bourn from Jayson Stark:
J Schafer, lhp Brett Oberholtzer, rhp Paul Clemens & rhp Juan Abreu.
It is odd that I have felt relieved with almost every trade that's gone down this year.
At the prices players are costing this year, I'm very happy Walt hasn't pulled the trigger.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Sigh of relief here. I hope we survive the rest of the day.
Braves #7 prospect doesn't equal Reds #7 prospect
Braves #8 prospect doesn't equal Reds #8 prospect... and so on
If our GM is basing a players trade value off of BA's, BP's, ESPN's prospect rankings, we're in trouble...
And nice response... You copy/pasting that in pretty much every thread right now? Add something intelligent please.

Other than Matt Holliday, Bourn was the guy I've wanted the worst to add to our current lineup over the past few years. I've been saying he would be a perfect fit for us for two years. I wonder what our price would have been. Good for Atlanta. They've got a nice squad.

These salt free cr ackers are made entirely of brown rice, without any additives, preservatives or flavorings, which means they contain no sodium, sugar, fat or cholesterol. They're also gluten free and suitable for people suffering from gluten intolerance and celiac disease. They're crisp and crunchy, sometimes even hard to chew, with a slightly bitter brown rice aftertaste, which I personally like. Will order again.
Like it a lot

When I first tried these I was surprised at the texture: it's kind of chewy/popped rice. Never tasted a cracker like this. But as I kept chewing, started to appreciate the way the texture brings out the flavor of the brown rice. This cracker is definitely unique and grows on you. Also, great that there are no oils/salt.

I really like these crackers.They are made form whole grain brown rice and nothing else. I can add my own seasoning and flavor for a simple and healthy snack. I researched the Conrad Rice Mill/Konriko and discovered that they only use whole grain rice in their products. No wheat gluten or corn!

This has be on the back burner for years, and I only now have mad a new clone belt model. This new model has the 6 front boxes molded in-place with the belt and cast as one solid unit. I like this idea much more than castig the parts separately and attaching. I left the to rear boxes and canister to be attached separately though.
The thing that has held m back for so long, was that I needed to fab two new front boxes for this model. There is a right and left slope to the front box. That neccessitated building the same thing twice, but mirrored. I admit it: I was simply too lazy to pull out the table saw.
Now that the first one is out of the mold, here is the result

|I am def gonna look for the glucosamine and chondroitin regardless. I may just be over thinking. It is getting much hotter and more humid. I had a panic a few weeks ago about his water intake.. except I was only paying attention to it after he was exercised or after we'd been outside for a while. So... I think you might be right. he isn't limping and is walking fine, so we'll just keep an eye on it. I still might callt he vet just for pricing purposes...
I think there is no harm in adding glucosamine and chondroitin at any age. X-rays are definitive. If you are really worried than have the x-rays.
That said: You say he hasn't been running/jogging lately. It is summer and very hot. Maybe he is just a bit out-of-shape and isn't tolerating the heat with exercise.
He may need a little time to work up to what he used to do. Just a thought.
When to x-ray hips..
So I haven't thought about this until recently when Titan turned 4 and now that he is slowing down. I am curious if it is necessary to x-ray hips if you aren't really seeing an issue.. kind of. Only recently I have been looking more closely to his running and walking while playing and when we jog. During play he is fine.. just go, go, go. Doesn't seem to have an issue. Though the other day my BF told me while they were playing Titan seemed to be running more sideways than straight.. which was odd, but we haven't seen it since then.
Then I took him on a jog.. We've been off for a bit, as in we haven't jogged/ran in a while, but he still plays fetch (sprinting until exhausted) multiple times a day. Well I just notice him slowing A LOT. And the other day we went on a jog and from the first step he was already slow and behind me. I couldn't tell if he was walking funny from behind, but I ended up just walking him because it made me nervous to push him harder. I didn't know if it was because of just not jogging much, or his hips.. so I started thinking.
He doesn't have issues walking, sitting, laying, etc. That I can see. I wonder if it's more time for glucosamine and chondroitin vs an x-ray. What do you guys think?

Jewish groups around the world have sharply condemned Pope Benedict XVI's new version of a Catholic Good Friday prayer. The Easter holiday which commemorate's the crucifixion of Jesus Christ has historically often been accompanied in the past by outbreaks of anti-semitism in Christian nations. Last month, the Vatican announced that Pope Benedict had revised the so-called "Good Friday Prayer for the Jews" which forms part of the Tridentine Mass, ofen referred to as the Latin Mass. The new version, translated from the Latin now reads: "Let us also pray for the Jews: That our God and Lord may illuminate their hearts, that they acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Savior of all men."
It is quite clear that Pope Benedict is no Pope John who at the Second Vatican Council had the Good Friday prayer revised to read: "Let us pray for the Jewish people, the first to hear the word of God, that they may continue to grow in the love of his name and in faithfulness to his covenant."
Many Jews find insulting a prayer by the leader of the Catholic Church which implies they lack true faith and need some sort of guidance from people like him. His insensitivity is amazing. He certainly must be aware that anti-semites historically have used Good Friday to launch attacks on Jews by blaming them for the death of Jesus Christ. Perhaps, it is time for Jews to pray for the soul of Pope Benedict that he may gain awareness of his repsonsibility to spread peace and love.

It is important to have some sort of a a restrictor in the inlet of the heat core. Ford has a restrictor in the heater core inlet hose. From 1990-2002, GM uses the plastic clip (clip only-GM 15739936 or Dorman 800-405) ) inside the quick disconnect fitting (fitting with a clip - GM 12543621 or Dorman 800-401) as a coolant restrictor. If you must remove the heater hose for any reason and damage the plastic clip, you can purchase new plastic clips separately so you do not have to replace the entire fitting and risk ruining the threads in the aluminum manifold.
Without restriction, the coolant pressure can balloon the heater core and cause the heater core to leak. The coolant pressure is especially high above 4000 RPM. I have a thick wall intake manifold nipple fitting in my parts bin. It has a 1/2" passage for the heater core inlet coolant. I purchased the mipple fitting at a local Chevrolet dealership but I do not recall what the part number was. It could be used to replace the quick connect fitting.
Many years ago, I pushed a old 1/2" drive socket in the 5/8" heater core inlet hose of my '55 Chevy. That would be called "redneck" engineering today.
|Northern Chevy
On my 1995 pickup with the 350, lately I had reason to remove the rear quick disconnect fitting on the intake manifold and had read about there being a high possibility of twisting it off. Surprisingly it came out fine but did show some signs of possible lifting material inside although scraping a little inside seemed to bring it down to solid material so I don't know if it was a slight build up on the fitting or actual material lifting from the fitting. Of course being that it was out I wasn't going to take chances and replaced it with the Dorman unit in both the water pump and the manifold. As you can guess, I never had the proper tool and damaged the plastic tabs a little with other means of moving them apart for line removal and that was my own fault for not seeking out the right tool for the job.
The reason for my comment, back when I bought my truck new they were not factory filling this model with Dexcool but were by the next year and so soon on in my trucks life I actually switched from the green coolant to a Dexcool "compatible" coolant which is orange in color rather then the trademark pink. Through the years I would drain it and refill with fresh Dexcool compatible coolant and sometimes three years and up to five years between changes. Knock on wood, I've never had a rad issue and when removing the intake it appeared relatively clean in the head coolant ports and spotless in the intake side and any time I have changed the thermostat its always looked 100 % spotless in that area of ether the intake or the aluminum thermostat housing. So I can't say I used "Dexcool" but it was the compatible equivalent with similar chemistry and I don't know if that fitting in the intake is a good example but I haven't had reason to think its been a bad coolant for my engine at least. I do make sure I mix it with distilled water rather then anything questionable and never have anyone else working on the cooling system and adding the wrong/non compatible coolant as I expect that could cause all sorts of issues then.
I've had a lot more problems with the older green type of coolant { we can't get green coolant here now, its dyed purple } with slime build up issues or degrading of aluminum parts such as the thermostat housings etc. Also inside the overflow tank it stays clean unlike some of the older trucks we have which look like a sewer inside, those trucks typically have a copper rad and that may be some of the issue .. not sure.
The quick disconnect heater hose fitting fitting if for the metal heater hose ends. The OE fitting contains a plastic clip with a restriction that diverts coolant from the heater to the radiator and better cools the engine. Use it. Any coolant not passing through the radiator is not cooling the engine.
Dorman 800-401.1 is the only aftermarket source for those fittings. Removal of the fitting is unnecessary and does not risk pulling the threads out of the aluminum intake manifold. You can remove the quick connect clip with the metal hose end using the proper tool. . A new clip is Dorman 800-405. Useed with a Dorman 800-408 quick disconnect removal tool.
These trucks are the 1996-2002 GEN-1E Vortec engine design. The intake gaskets have a bad design, but as you state, Dexcool is often blamed.
These 96-99 4.3/305/350 fullsize trucks also have that cheap heater fitting that comes out of teh intake manifold and supplies the heater core with coolant. Its a Quick Connect fitting that is made of cheap pot metal and breaks off if you look at it wrong. Dorman makes a great replacement. But even better, simply cut off the QC fitting and screw a conventional brass or other material pipe threaded collant nipple into the intake manifold and use a gear clamp to hold the heater hose on. I notice better heater performance when this is done.
You 1999+ LR4 4.8 engine is a GEN 3 engine design, it is much better design.
I have had 2 long term experiences with Dexcool. The first is my 1996 Jimmy with 165K on it. Had been flushed many years ago (about 100K ago) and replaced with green stuff. Engine was perfectly clean inside cooling system. Engine had been opened once since because of a bad intake manifold gasket, original coolant re-installed. The 2nd one was my 2000 Sierra 4.8.. Water pump went at a little over 200K. The inside of that cooling system was as clean and the coolant was as clear as the day it went in 11 years before. I don't believe Dexcool to be a problem coolant and as stated the chemical design is also used in other coolants as well. The biggest problem you can have with coolant is opening the system up every year or so and messing with it. I know I'll get flamed for this but in the 45 years I have been building and repairing cars. I have never changed coolant on anything unless it diddn't have any to begin with...if it comes out to do some work, it goes back in.
Another observation is the GM intake manifold gasket leakage problem, which is universally attributed to Dexcool. I have never had a GM/Dexcool intake manifold repair job on a GM V8, the V 6's on the other hand...I've done plenty of them. My impression is that there is a gasket material/ torque spec/ thermal cycling issue on the V6 engines, in essence it's a design problem, not a coolant problem.
Before you wet your pants over the Dexcool, just run the stuff and when you do change it, use one of the newer "universal" antifreeze/coolants that are compatible with any coolant if you're worried, then the next coolant change you can move to an old fashioned ethylene glycol coolant if you feel more confident using it.
My bet is the car will be long gone to that big swapmeet in the sky before you have a problem related to any coolant.
|39 chev
|I just spent 32.00 for 2 gallons of dexcool.I put it in my T-bucket this afternoon,since I have a new aluminium radiator I thought I was doing the right thing. I hadn't heard of any problems until I read this post..I plan on running it,The engine hasn't been fired up yet but my thoughts are that there are millions of vehicles using it,and dexcool may be getting blamed for poor engineering or lack of maintainence.
Its a fine coolant so long as your system is sealed. Problems happen when oxygen gets involved.
If I just filled an engine, I wouldnt flush it out. Just run it and swap out in 5 years.
Dexcool gets blamed for intake gasjets all teh time, some if it justified, but in teh case of teh 1996-2002 Vortec 305/350 is teh hrrible intake gasket design and the way the intake bolts dont apply their forces perpendicular to teh gasket face, they put the head, teh gasket, and the intake manifold in a state of shear. PLUS the stock heads are iron and the intake is aluminum, everytime that engine ehats up and cools down, teh dissimilar expansion rates, in a state of shear, cause the gaskets to roll and break apart. Another case where GM has swapped out durability for ease/speed of install on teh assembly line.
|Well I hope I was able to get almost all of it out. What a mess of a job though since my radiator does not have a bottom drain plug. Drained it through the lower radiator hose, ran water through, closed it up, filled with water, drained out lower hose again, ran water through again, fill with green stuff. Fingers crossed.
The Dex-crud is supposedly "long life" and is more "aluminum friendly" because it has no silicates. Both green and orange antifreeze use ethylene glycol as the antifreeze element but Dex-cool has no silicates and uses OAT (Organic Acid Technology) for corrosion protection.
After a period of time, silicates drop out of the coolant and attacks lead solder joints in radiators and plates aluminum radiators and heater cores. The more extensive use of aluminum parts in modern engines and cooling systems is why they claim the green stuff with silicates for corrosion protection needs to be changed every two years.
I replaced my 1991 leaking brass heater core with lead solder joints after 150,000 miles and the new replacement heater core was made of aluminum with aluminum solder joints.
I was thinking to pull that lower hose, drain the orange stuff, put the hose back on, fill with water, drain that water, fill with water and drain a second time then fill'er up with the green stuff. Hopefully that will be enough. I cant imagine it circulated too far without actually starting the engine.
Am I wrong?
|Pulling the hose won't get all of it. You need to have it flushed, or pull the block drains out, and run water through until it runs clear, and then for 10 more minutes. Dexcool is junk, and is the subject of a class action lawsuit in regards to gasket failure.
Yes, but flush it out really good. I know it sucks but I've seen the damage that crap causes. It really does erode plastic and rubber seals and then they leak, and then it gets where it shouldn't be and then it will causes catastrophic engine failure. (Bearings).
|So then since I have not started the engine I should just be able to drain it out of the lower hose and be done with it you think? Maybe put some water in the drain it again before going with the new stuff.
Dexcool eats gaskets and seals. I've done so many GM intake manifold gaskets because of that crap. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I flushed it out of my new Chevy 2500 hd on the day I bought it and replaced it with green.
Only a chemical flush will get rid of Dex-cool if you want to use a ethylene glycol based coolant . A vehicle with a coolant recovery system should never use Dex-Cool because exposure to air will turn it into orange mud. Dex-cool uses OAT (Organic Acid Technology) instead of ethylene glycol silicates as rust inhibitors and just like any coolant, it should be changed every two years or every 20,000 miles, especially if it is Dex-cool.
After my 1991 S-10 Blazer 4x4 was purchased in the fall of 1991, I have used Prestone anti-freeze concentrate diluted with a gallon of distilled water and I replace it every two years. The 22 year old cooling system is like new. Since it was introduced in 2006, I have used one gallon of Prestone 50/50 Anti-freeze Coolant per car and I change it every two years or less. . It is a 50-50 mix of ethylene glycol coolant and demineralized water.
A 50/50 coolant is convenient to use but you are paying double the price for half the amount of ethylene glycol coolant. Just like any other product, people must pay extra for convenience.

The Footprint Chronicles® examines Patagonia's life and habits as a company. The goal is to use transparency about our supply chain to help us reduce our adverse social and environmental impacts – and on an industrial scale. We've been in business long enough to know that when we can reduce or eliminate a harm, other businesses will be eager to follow suit.
Corporate Responsibility
Here's what we're doing to make sure Patagonia products are produced under safe, fair, legal and humane working conditions throughout the supply chain – and some background on how we got to where we are today.
20 years of organic cotton
In 1994, we made the decision to take a stand against chemically intensive cotton and switch to organically grown cotton throughout our line. In hindsight, it was an audacious goal as the quantity of cotton in our line was quite small in the giant world of cotton production.
Our Impact on the Planet
The shells we make are contributing to climate change. Despite our best efforts to minimize this contribution, we are still part of the problem. Learn about the good and bad environmental aspects of making shells.
Hirdaramani, Agalawatta, Sri Lanka
Employees at Hirdaramani-CKT Apparel in Sri Lanka voted to use their Fair Trade premium to open a free day-care center and implement a health and hygiene program.
What is a living wage vs. a minimum wage?
Patagonia keeps close tabs on wages paid in all of our partner factories so we can ensure the workers who make our clothes are earning at least a minimum wage in the locales where they work. But in most instances we do not know whether those wages are enough to afford a decent standard of living.
Nature USA, Rancho Dominguez, CA
Nature USA
Workers who make T-shirts for us at Nature USA in Los Angeles voted to take their Fair Trade premiums as a cash bonus equivalent to 1-2 weeks' pay.
MAS Active–Leisureline, Katunayake, Sri Lanka
Workers at MAS Active–Leisureline in Sri Lanka chose to use their Fair Trade premium to buy essential items, including food, medicine and toiletries.
Our Business and Climate Change
Patagonia's mission statement reads: "Build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis." Climate change, a devastating symptom of human activity on Earth, is the very definition of this crisis we must overcome if we hope to survive.
In an attempt to improve the lives of those who make our products, we offer 33 styles that are Fair Trade Certified for sewing.
Traceable Down Insulation
All of our down products, as of our fall 2014 product season, contain Traceable Down, all of which can be traced back to birds that were never force-fed and never live-plucked.
Organic Cotton
In 1996, with an increased awareness of the dangers of pesticide use and synthetic fertilizers in growing conventional cotton, we began the exclusive use of organically grown cotton in all of our cotton products.
Impact and Adoption
As our company grows, we are faced with this challenge: the more we produce, the greater our impact is on the environment. If we are going to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis, as our mission states, we have to reduce our overall impact, regardless of the number of products we sell.
Merino Wool Sourcing
Re-building our wool program—with a partner that can ensure a strong and consistent approach to animal welfare, while also fostering healthy grasslands—will be a significant challenge.

Cameron falsely reported that Fitzgerald "specifically asked if the scope of his investigation could be broadened" to cover perjury, obstruction
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
On the October 28 edition of Fox News Live, Fox News chief White House correspondent Carl Cameron falsely reported that special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald, who is investigating the alleged leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity, "went to the magistrate and specifically asked if the scope of his investigation could be broadened to include" crimes such as perjury and obstruction of justice. In fact, Fitzgerald contacted then-acting Attorney General James B. Comey to clarify that he had the authority to investigate and prosecute violations of the law stemming from the investigation -- to which Comey replied affirmatively. The distinction between "ask[ing] if the scope of his investigation could be broadened" and asking for confirmation that he already had that authority is critical in light of the concerted effort on the part of White House allies to minimize the impact of any charges that are brought against Bush administration officials by depicting Fitzgerald as overzealous and by falsely suggesting that he sought to extend his authority beyond his original mandate.
As Media Matters for America has documented, a February 2004 letter from Comey didn't permit Fitzgerald to "expan[d]" his inquiry, as Cameron claimed. Rather, it merely "clarif[ied]" -- at Fitzgerald's "request" -- that Fitzgerald already had the authority "to investigate and prosecute ... federal crimes committed in the course of, and with intent to interfere with, your investigation." Fitzgerald's investigative and prosecutorial authority is, and always has been, plenary, as the Comey letter made clear.
From the October 28 edition of Fox News Live:
CAMERON: During the course of his investigation, the special prosecutor went to the magistrate and specifically asked if the scope of his investigation could be broadened to include the potential for -- to look into the possibility that witnesses or people involved might have been attempting to mislead investigators, cover up, or obstruct the investigation. The expansion of the prosecutor's scope -- was his mandate, was to investigate -- is what gives him authority to go after this type of investigative avenue. He has, and today you see indictments.

AS a conscious environmentalist and lifelong member of Greenpeace, driving instructor Jamie Brind always found it difficult to reconcile his profession with his green beliefs.
That was until he had the idea of launching a series of seminars designed to teach motorists how to limit their impact on the environment by reducing their carbon emissions.
"I signed up to join Greenpeace when I was only a teenager so being a driving instructor has always sat quite uncomfortably with me," said Jamie, who lives in Cainscross.
"I was always aware that I was putting more cars on the road but now with running the green driving seminars it feels like I have got a bit of a balance there."
The half-day seminars are being offered by Stroud District Driving School, which Jamie co-runs with his business partner Nick Robinson.
They will show drivers the various ways to reduce the size of their carbon footprint while simultaneously reducing the cost of their fuel bills.
Jamie believes the average car driver who covers around 10,000 miles a year could save about £400 annually and cut their emissions by around a fifth by using the green driving techniques.
He is hoping that companies with a fleet of cars will send their employees along to a seminar in order to minimise their carbon footprint.
"Drivers and business can reduce their emissions by a fifth overnight so if everybody did it, it would be like taking a fifth of the cars off the road," said Jamie.
"There are no good reasons not to do it. People think you would have to drive slowly to limit your impact on the environment but that is not necessarily the case. It is about mindful driving.
"If somebody said they could save you £400 on your car insurance every year then you would jump at the chance but you could save that amount just by using these techniques."
For more information about the seminars, which cost £20 per person and include refreshments, contact Jamie on 07736 064791 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

I've thought about snaps and velcro, any other good ideas?

I've thought about snaps and velcro, any other good ideas?
I use press snap buttons, one side glued to armor, the other stiched to vest. Armor stays in same place all the time and u don't get any of that rippy velcro sound when ya move!
I used magnets, I dont recommend it though
Magnets are great, but you have to use the really strong eart magnets.Some of those damn things take a good pull to get them apart.
I usually just stick with velcro, and they even have new velcro now that irons on for the fabric side.No more sewing.
Do we know for sure how the original chest armor was mounted? I know you can see velcro under the collar peice but is there a possibility they used something stronger on the chest? I can't find examples right now but I seem to remember seeing what looked like metal hooks of some sort near the shoulder bells. Maybe something similar was used on the chest?
I use industrial strength velcro and have never once had an issue with my armor moving or falling off.
I used webchief's old armor for a while and never had any issues with that method.Quote:

Day 3 came and went quite quickly.
The interesting event of the day was Amazon's sessions on its Web services. Amazon Web Services is the software side of the company, sort of separate from the main sales/retail site that they are so well known for. The retail side uses some of these same Web services within the site, but they are also available to external customers as well. I listened to Jeff Barr from Amazon describe them some of which include:
- S3 - their network storage service, where you can upload and download any object using different APIs. Priced around 15-20 cents per gig. Amazon here acts as an NSP (networked storage provider) for your web apps.
- Amazon Mechanincal Turk - more of a process where you can submit jobs to be completed that can be taken up by other people (Amazon users not staff) to handle the processing; sort of like a giant human-based grid software system
- their Queuing service - a simple queuing web service that you can use as part of a mashup
and many more... You should go to aws.amazon.com to find out more.

CWA Quick and Easy Recipe: Saratoga Torte
04/02/2013 , 8:57 PM by Natalie Oliveri
The CWA's Denise Hippesley joined Peter to describe how she made this delicious Saratoga Torte.
3 egg whites
1 cup castor sugar
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup walnuts or pecans chopped
14-16 Sao biscuits coarsely crushed
Whip egg whites and salt until stiff, gradually add sugar then vanilla. Fold in baking powder, crushed Sao biscuits and nuts.
Cover oven tray with baking paper and spread mixture into a circle approx 20cm wide.
Bake for 30mins at 190 degrees Celcius. Place baking paper over the torte if it's browning too quickly.
Allow to cool. Decorate with cream and strawberries.
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
So pleased to learn that what I have baked for years and known as a Sao Torte has a 'proper name! My mother made this back in the '40's and '50's!!It brings back memories of her afternoon tea parties, with ladies balancing tiny plates on their laps and using little silver cake forks - very dainty and elegant.
Family favourites like this should be treasured and passed on through to younger generations.

When I fly, I get nervous, so I take drugs. And I typically take a bit more than my doctor's recommended dose to make sure I'm out cold for the entire flight. Maybe that's unsafe, but I'm a honey badger and I don't give a shit.
I usually pop a few pills about an hour before my flight, drift into unconsciousness once seated on the plane, and wake up hours later at my destination. It's like the entire trip never happened. It's magical.
On this particular day, circumstances were a little different. Minneapolis wasn't my final destination; Portland was, and Minneapolis was just a layover. This was the first time I had to maneuver to a connecting flight while under the influence of sedatives, and I hadn't anticipated being quite this high.
I spotted a screen listing departures and wonkily strode up to it to find my connecting flight. I peered at the monitor but I had trouble making sense of the words. It made me feel self conscious. I tried to act cool so the people around me wouldn't suspect I was Anna Nicole Smithing out.
Eventually, after much labored staring, I figured out my connecting flight was leaving from gate A6. I had a couple hours to kill, so I decided to wander around a bit and clear my head. I was faintly aware of soft rock being pumped over the loudspeakers. Sinéad O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U" drifted out, barely audible. I stepped onto one of those automated walkway things, and noticed a woman in the distance, riding the walkway parallel to mine. As she approached, I could tell she was mouthing the lyrics to the song. I fixated on her lips, somehow both drowsy and overly analytical of her actions. I felt concerned for some reason.
Girl, you better stop singing, I thought. Someone's gonna notice you singing along to a song from 1990. That's like a million years ago. What are you, a dinosaur? Shut up, dinosaur.
I snickered and congratulated myself on my sick burn. The singing girl was within earshot and noticed chuckling. She also noticed me staring at her. Suddenly aware that someone had been watching her sing to herself, I assumed she'd immediately stop and look the other way. On the contrary, she fixed her gaze on mine, and began mouthing along to the song with exaggerated fervor as she glided past.
I felt flummoxed, but couldn't discern exactly why. I figured everything might just seem extra weird because I was hopped up on pharmaceuticals. I pondered this as I made my way to my gate, then took a seat near the window and took a few deep breaths. I looked around. Everything was slightly blurry. People's faces looked off somehow, like default character profiles in The Elder Scrolls.
I pulled out my phone, navigated to the BBC News application and tried to concentrate on reading, but I couldn't make heads or tails of the hieroglyphics on the screen. I texted my friend Kristin instead.
A few moments later, she responded.
I texted her back.
She replied again.
Annoyed, I flexed my fingers and tried to focus on a more coherent message.
Kristin didn't even bother responding to that, so I texted her one last time.
I gazed around the terminal. I noticed a little boy doing the worm on the floor, trying to get his mom to notice. He seemed to be moving in slow motion.
I sank further into my seat. My eyes felt heavy. I peered around the airport through my drooping eyelids, my vision becoming increasingly restricted as my eyes slowly closed. After a minute or two, they shut.
When I woke up, I was first struck by how silent my terminal was compared to earlier. For a second I slouched in my chair, reveling in the peace and quiet.
I opened my eyes to find myself completely alone, save for a woman some twenty feet away staring at an iPad. Darkness had fallen outside. I panicked.
Oh shiiiiiiiiiiit! I thought, sitting bolt upright. My flight left! I slept through boarding! I have to live in Minneapolis now! I can't deal with Minnesotan accents! I'll die!
Suddenly quite sober from the alarm I was feeling, I grabbed my laptop bag and hustled to the nearest help desk. The woman behind the counter, a grumpy looking lady with fingernails the length of velociraptor talons, barely acknowleged my presence.
"My flight left," I blurted out. "I need a new flight. I need to get to Portland." The woman rolled her eyes.
"What's your flight number?" She muttered. I told her I didn't know, but my destination was Portland.
"The gate was A6. I accidentally fell asleep and missed it." I paused. "I mean, uh, I got sick. I was barfing while they were boarding. Bad seafood. It wasn't my fault. I need to be redirected. I can't live in Minneapolis." The woman rolled her eyes again and began typing away at her computer.
"Your flight doesn't doesn't board for another 10 minutes. It's at gate A9, not A6. It's over there." She pointed behind me with one of her footlong nails. As I thanked her and left, she rolled her eyes a third time, this time so dramatically she might've seen her own brain.
My relief over not actually missing my plane was tempered by the realization that I'd now have to fly unaided by drugs. I was happy to be boarding on time, but as I shuffled down the aisle of the aircraft looking for my seat, I began to feel more and more nervous about the ensuing trip. I was too aware of everything: the rattle of the plane's engines, the passengers crammed in like sardines, the low ceiling making me feel claustrophobic. I nervously looked around for babies, because everyone knows that planes with babies on them never crash.
Then I spotted something even better than a baby: Food Network's Ina Garten, seated next to her husband Jeffrey. My eyes went wide. Ina Garten was on my flight. What's more, as I approached I realized that my seat was directly behind her. Trying to maintain my cool, I slid into the aisle behind her and stared reverently at the back of Ina's head.
This happened on 30 Rock, right? I pondered. Liz Lemon was high and mistook a spunky tween for Oprah. Is that happening to me? Am I still high and imagining this? Should I ask Ina if she has a tupperware of biscotti?
I listened to Ina talk to her husband. She sounded just like on TV. It was definitely The Barefoot Contessa. I tried to make a mental list of celebrities who died in plane crashes, but I could only think of Aaliyah and Lynyrd Skynyrd. No plane with Ina Garten on it could crash, right? That's would be impossible. Rachael Ray, maybe, but not Ina!
I took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down a bit. When the plane took off, I listened to Ina and tried not to focus on the airplane bouncing around. It helped, surprisingly, though not as effectively as hard drugs.
The plane did not crash. Nobody died. Thank you, Ina Garten. You're a lifesaver.

Technology - There are two main screen technologies currently used in phones and tablets: LCD and AMOLED. The former usually features a light source and liquid crystals, while the latter is based on organic light-emitting diodes. Newer LCD variations like IPS-LCD and Super-LCD allow for very accurate color reproduction and very wide viewing angles, where no significant image quality loss is observed. Current AMOLED screens differ in such a way that they can exhibit much more saturated colors (sometimes too much) and incredibly high contrast levels, which is due to black color being completely black in AMOLED displays.

At the ranges for which the Kel-Tec P3AT is intended, no sights are required. Just sight along the top of the slide at any distance up to about 15 yards.
If you like, you could highlight the tiny front sight with nail enamel ("nail polish"). That's what I do to all of my pistols, including my P3AT. It helps sometimes, but not always.
Clean the sight with Energene or alcohol. Carefully paint only the back of the sight (the part you see when you're sighting) with the whitest nail enamel you can find. Don't slop over the top or over the edges. Let it dry for an entire day.
Now go over the white enamel with a coat of the reddest color you can find. Let that dry for a day. Then re-coat it with the red enamel, and let that dry for another day.
In low- or no-light, the red sight is black. In good light, it's bright red and easy to see quickly.
I suggest nail enamel because it's the toughest paint you can buy, and because it sticks to almost anything.
When you buy it, expect some cute backchat from the lady at the sales counter. If she, too, is cute, make good use of your opportunity. Who knows: you may get lucky, and she'll let you paint her nails.

My experience
I started riding 12 years ago but haven't in the last 4 years due to having no money, so my skills have really gone downhill.
Initial impressions before riding it:
They only make a 157 and 151 reverse camber as of now. i already have a 157 and wanted something smaller to mess around on and get better in the park would have been more excited about a 153-155. But the guy on the phone said 151 works perfect so i went with that.
Looks pretty well constructed, clean. It is the smallest board I've ever riden, i started on a 155. I was apprehensive of the size. Feels pretty soft bending on carpet. The rocker is very slight, its almost flat with a little extra up kick at the contact points. it came with a lot of inserts to get a wide range of stance setups, more than other entry level boards.
It feels pretty light.
Also im looking forward to doing my own graphic.
Snow Conditions-
low 20s. tracked out powder at Mt Baker, really freakin bumpy but soft snow. it was soft light powder for the first part of the day but i rode my banana magic all morning. ( i waxed both boards for the right temp the night before)
first day of riding Impressions:
The first thing i notice is that it feels lighter than im used to. But that is because it is shorter too. Second, it is a lot softer than my banana magic, which is not a bad thing, it is a lot easier to steer and get it to do what you want, it took me a run to get used to not over doing my inputs.
It bounces around in the bumps rather than plowing through them, but doesn't flap at speed. the snow was too soft to see if it would chatter or not.
Presses and butters are pretty easy and you can sit in em as long as you want. I could tip over backwards if I wanted (which I did the second time seeing how far it would go)
Edge hold is what i would call "enough" it feels pretty loose at speed but you can still set it on edge, just don't expect to be railing carves. I just kept washing out what I could normally do on the banana. Dynamic long and short skidded turns are not a problem though. Turns just felt easy going, which is what I wanted out of this board, it feels like a lot less work than the banana.
it was nimble like a small board should be through the trees which was fun.
Got a few comments in line asking what it was. Might leave it blank, as a conversation starter so i dont have to be foreveralone.jpg
I liked rinding it, it was easy and fun. we will see how it holds up but i see no issues thus far. I will probably ride it more often as it will be easier to learn spins and tricks on.
Second day and and at my house:
Pretty much confirms what I thought from the first day. No issues. I bumped it off a few trees pretty hard with no damages.
It snowed enough at my parents house in Washington to set up a picnic table in the park and riding down the street. Ate shit a few times. No issues here either. Pretty fun not worrying about messing the board up like I am with my $500 boards.
i got one for my gf (151 white) for xmas and she likes it a lot though she is 5'3" and coming from a 145 gnu b-nice. it's well-made deck, medium soft flex, medium-wide waste, true twin. two piece edge wrap but really solid and sharp. you can tell the folks who built it paid attention to what they were doing. for the price i don't think there is anything out there that competes.
she's also having a ton of fun drawing our dogs, dragons and fish on it lol. i'd like to have our tattoo guy do an outline sketch on it and she can color it in. awesome seeing a board with your graphics on it.
Ended up giving this board to my GFs brother who is about 3 lbs lighter than me, he really likes it. He was riding and old burton Omen i think. rode the blank all last season, it has held up great. All conditions rode like a snowboard should, no quality issues. Totally worth 200 for a new snowboard.
I am disillusioned.:(
my GFs brother has passed this board to his GF, she was riding a antique morrow, night and day difference she says, board still holding up good.

U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix Jan 20 - 23
The historic pipe where U.S. athletes swept the men's podium and won gold in the women's event during the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002 will entertain the masses with Olympians again. The Grand Prix makes its final stop at Park City Mountain Resort for back to back night competitions, after which the winners will be crowned and the 2010 Olympic halfpipe team will be named.
Among the athletes stoked to hit the Park City pipe is White who, after having dinner with PCMR owner John Cumming, took to his Twitter page to spread the good news.
"Had dinner with John Cumming," White wrote. "Super nice guy, he told me Park City is having Olympic qualis mid Jan! booyeah!"
A reduced field comprised of the highest scoring athletes from previous tour stops will throw down the best tricks in their bag in an attempt to be one of the few named to the Olympic halfpipe team when the event is over.
"It's the perfect place to close the story of the Olympic team selection," Clark said. "The pipe has the tradition of being one of the best in North America. They put a tremendous amount of pride and energy into their venue. They are very excited to have this here."
In addition to hosting the Olympic halfpipe competition in 2002, Park City also held a Grand Prix the following December in which the Olympic medalists all returned for competition in their glory stomping ground.
With well over 100 national athletes expected to compete for a shot at the Olympic team, the 2010 Grand Prix series will be the hottest series of halfpipe competitions across the U.S.

Alief Taylor High School students enrolled in Young Entrepreneurs Academy, YEA!, are ready to show off their business start-up skills in a trade show at 12:15 p.m. on April 22. at University of St. Thomas, Crooker Patio, 3909 Graustark.
These 13 students, ages 16 and 17, will debut their newly launched businesses or social movements to consumers, potential clients or investors. Free and open to the public, this event will also give patrons the opportunity to support these students by purchasing products and/or signing up for services offered.
"Back in September, during the first day of class, the students at Alief Taylor High School were just that, students," said JUST Alumna and YEA! Mentor, Josephine Firat,. "They had regular days, normal teenage life problems, and a report card or progress report to let them know how they were doing."
Students involved in YEA! have been groomed by Houston's business owners and start-up support groups since fall 2013. The trade show is a culmination of the program's overall goal for the students to become CEOs of their own company or social movement.
"Now it's April, and on top of being a student, they own their own businesses, and their days are filled with managing their enterprises and everything that accompanies that process," said Firat. "They face problems like cash management, inventory, and customers, and their new report cards are their financial statements. I've seen these students grow leaps and bounds in just these eight months, and when anyone sees them at their trade show at the University of St. Thomas next Tuesday, "teenagers" is the last word they'll use."
Houston Community College and Alief ISD have partnered with YEA!, an innovative program that guides students through the process of starting their own real business. By the end of the class, students own and operate fully formed and functioning businesses, which may be carried on after their graduation from the program. YEA! is the only pre-college program developed by an entrepreneur, at an institute of higher education, with support from a major entrepreneurial foundation, the Marion Kauffman Foundation.
For more information about YEA! email Josephine Firat at firstname.lastname@example.com.
