What You'll Find: Job-Hunting Annual Report
Editor's Note: About this Issue…
For the 11th time since 2001, we've produced the Quintessential Careers Report on the State of Internet Job-Hunting. The 2013 report is a litte different from those in the past in that it focuses on a single issue — a flawed hiring process, underpinned by technology, for both hiring decision-makers and job-seekers.
Most importantly, the articles accompanying our annual report tell job-seekers how to navigate and succeed within this flawed system.
We also include a beginning-of-the-year article about reviewing the accomplishments of the past year with the idea of setting goals for the year ahead.
We're a few weeks into 2013, but it's not too late to wish you a wonderful year of job-search and career success.
Start your 2013 job search by checking out job listings and posting your resume on our job-search portal.

Job-Hunting Annual Report Feature Article: Have Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) Ruined Recruiting, Hiring, and Job Search? A Quintessential Careers Annual Report 2013
by Katharine Hansen, Ph.D.
Let's say there exists a standard tool for job-hunting, nearly universally accepted (if not universally loved) by both job-seekers and hiring decision-makers. Let's say it turns out that three-quarters of the tools submitted in response to job vacancies are wholly unsuited to the current technology that assesses job-seekers's fitness to fill those vacancies. Let's say that job-seekers are poorly educated in how to adjust these tools to fit the technology and therefore present themselves as qualified for these job openings. And let's say that job-seeker understanding of how to adjust these tools has increased incrementally at best in the years since employers began using the screening technology they currently use. Would that situation likely result in a desperate claim by employers that a "skills shortage" exists? Would it even exacerbate the current jobs crisis since many perfectly qualified people can't demonstrate their qualifications and get hired because their tools are broken?
A press release the Human Alliance Ltd. issued at the time of this report's writing noted, "Right now, we have about 3.7 million jobs open with a hire rate [of] 3.2 percent … We're simply not filling those jobs fast enough, and the US economy is suffering from it," Joe Shaheen, founder and managing principal of the Human Alliance Ltd., said. The number of openings is more than would be expected based on the current unemployment rate, writes James Surowieki in The New Yorker.
The tool, of course, is the job-search resume. The employer technology is the Applicant Tracking System (ATS), first used more than two decades ago to manage what one recruiter calls "a tsunami" of resumes submitted online. If we are to believe one of 2012's most startling statistics from the company Preptel, this situation is not hypothetical. "Seventy-five percent of applicants are discarded [by Applicant Tracking Systems] because of the words in their resume," the company states on its blog. Preptel has a stake in promulgating this figure because it offers a service that optimizes resumes for employers' screening technology. But other facts and speculations that emerged in 2012 suggest a flawed process for both hiring decision-makers and job-seekers.

Annual Report Feature: Applicant Tracking Systems 101 for Job-Seekers: Understanding the ATS Technology That Dominates Online Job Search
Special to Quintessential Careers
The promise of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) is an alluring one: Apply the principles of technology search to the complicated hiring process, allowing recruiters and hiring managers access to a search system like the one that exists online with Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other search engines. Type in what you want and voila! The perfect candidate appears. That's the idea anyway. Applicant tracking systems allow companies to determine which candidates may be a match for a particular position, based on their resume.
Applicant tracking systems fulfill two purposes: to manage applications for positions (especially in the face of a high volume of applicants), and to screen out candidates who lack the required skills for the job.

Annual Report Feature: Optimizing and Formatting Your Job-Search Resume for Applicant Tracking Systems
Special to Quintessential Careers
The easiest way to ensure your resume will be accepted by an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is to submit a resume that is both ATS-friendly and human-reader ready. The two are not mutually exclusive; however, ATS-friendly resumes are formatted much more simply, while human-reader resumes may contain graphic elements that make the document easier to read and more appealing to the reader.

Extra Feature: The Goals, Accomplishments Equation: Conducting an Annual Self-Review
by Katharine Hansen, Ph.D.
New Year's resolutions are often trivialized because they are seldom maintained. It's not too late to consider a process a bit more meaningful than declaring New Year's resolutions. Instead, recognize the relationship between goals and accomplishments and conduct an annual review of both.
Goals are the flip side of accomplishments. You can achieve accomplishments without setting goals, but if you set goals and follow through, you are virtually guaranteed accomplishments. Accomplishments are the indicators that we have met our goals, and goals give us the motivation to have accomplishments.
An annual review of accomplishments can help you set goals for the year ahead. Reflect on the year just completed and consider how it went.

Quick and Quintessential Tips to Guide Your Job Search and Work Life
- Networking via social media is a centerpiece of the Internet job search process we celebrate in this issue, but many job-seekers may not know that many social-media venues exist beyond the big three — Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, Specialized social-media venues can help job-seekers make contacts in their specific fields.
- An issue — discussed in this issue's annual report — that frustrates job-seekers and hiring decision-makers alike, is that too many unqualified candidates submit resumes in response to job postings. But how do you really know if you're qualified? Do you have to possess 100 percent of the requirements? Recruiting expert Jorg Stegemann a advises not applying unless you match 75 percent of the job posting. He also suggests holding back from applying when you are clearly over- or under-qualified, "If you read '7 years relevant experience,' you can be sure to get a negative response if you have 2 or 20 years of experience as we consider that the job is either under or over your competencies or not in line with the salary range for this level." Finally, Stegemann advises living in the area where the job is located. Employers will consider excellent candidates from out of the area, or even out of the country, but non-locals will probably not get high priority.
- A couple of tidbits about followup: First, many job-seekers think it's hard or unacceptable to make a followup call to employers after submitting a resume. A survey by Accountemps shows that, for most hiring decision-makers, this kind of followup is OK. Thirty-eight percent of those surveyed said they're fine with job-seekers calling them a week or less after submitting a resume, while another 43 percent said a a followup call 1-2 weeks after submitting is acceptable. Only 1 percent didn't want a followup call.
Secondly, if you're struggling for what to say in a followup email after meeting a new network contact, seeJohn Muscarello's The Ultimate Networking Follow Up Email Cheat Sheet for a good structure for such a followup.

2012 IndyCar Racing
Indy 500 champion Dan Wheldon took to the cockpit at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in the first of his 12 scheduled days of evaluation testing of the prototype 2012 IndyCar Dallara, which is powered by the first of the 2.2-liter turbocharged Honda V6 engines. Additional testing will take place on three road course and three ovals, IndyCar announced.
It's a great day, project manager Tony Cotman told IndyCar.com. To see the work of many individuals in a very short amount of time out on the racetrack...it's the start of a new era for IndyCar.
The new design a Dallara rolling chassis that will feature different body coverings for ovals and road/street courses was recommended to the sanctioning body by the seven-member advisory committee in July 2010 after it reviewed multiple manufacturer concepts. It will replace the chassis that came on line in 2003 and was originally designed exclusively for oval racing.
No times were announced from the test, which was closed to the public. IndyCar said the next test of the prototype will be conducted next month at Texas Motor Speedway, again with Wheldon at the controls.
"It's a lighter car, it has more horsepower and it has a lot less drag than the current car, so naturally on the right day it will go quicker and that's something that the fans have to look forward to," Cotman added. "I think it also will provide a different type of racing with different engine manufacturers, too. It will be interesting, it will be exciting and it will be a bit of a change."
Engine manufacturers, each of whom have ordered a next-generation chassis, will commence testing in early October with their respective aligned teams. So far, Chip Ganassi Racing, A.J. Foyt Racing and Sam Schmidt Motorsports have signed on with Honda. Team Penske is the anchor team for Chevrolet.
The race teams are scheduled to receive their first chassis in mid-December.
Upgrades incorporated into the 2012 IndyCar, based on recommendations by INDYCAR through its ongoing testing program, will increase the protection of drivers.
The cockpit is longer and wider than the current Dallara Automobili monocoque, which allows for additional padding to protect the driver upon impact. There is 3 inches of Expanded Polypropylene foam behind the drivers seat and 1.5 inches under the seat. Also, a floating headrest works in conjunction with the mandatory HANS device attached to the helmet.
What that means is that before the driver ever pours his custom fit seat they will already have an inch and a half of material that will protect them in a vertical load situation, which is what Justin Wilson went through at Mid-Ohio, INDYCAR director of engineering Jeff Horton said. Because of his height and the design of that car, he actually has nothing underneath him. He basically sits right on the floor so all the load that the chassis saw was transmitted to straight up his spine.
With the foam in the new car, it potentially should prevent most of those types of injuries. In addition, we designed in 3 inches off EPP on the back of the car. Again, before a driver ever pours his custom fit seat hes got 3 inches of protection, which our data shows will prevent most injuries.
The wider chassis, updated to the FIA cockpit opening (21.6 inches) provides for extra foam along the sides of the driver that will protect them in a lateral impact. The additions complement the Zylon panels, which were extended, that are attached to the sides of the chassis that help prevent punctures.
The car also has been made a little bit longer in that area so that a tall driver can be incorporated and not give up safety systems, Horton noted. On the current car, our tall drivers have to compromise something at the rear to fit in the car and get the pedals adjusted comfortably they actually move them all the way forward. In this current car, the driver should be in a normal seating position.
The headrest has been redesigned on our recommendations as well, with the addition of a thicker cross-section where the helmet will hit in a rearward accident. The current car (designed a decade ago) came about before the HANS was mandatory so to get the HANS to fit correctly we had to take some material out of the current headrest; thats been put back into this car.
According to Horton, Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) is the preferred material for the seat bottom/back and headrest over Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) because of its higher compressive strength. EPP is formed by individual plastic beads being injected into a steam chest mold, where the beads are fused under steam heat and pressure to form a semi-rigid and lightweight molded product.
The nice part of the EPP foam is that it doesnt have any glue in it, he said, so its considered a multi-hit foam. EPS deforms permanently because of the glue in it. You have to think of things like crew members and drivers climbing in and out of the cockpit and they put their foot on it. The EPS could be deformed and not perform properly in an accident.
Trammel and Horton have advocated driver seats to be constructed solely of EPP, which would further increase protection. EPS seats are formed by mixing beads and glue, put it in a plastic bag and have the driver sit on it for a mold. After it dries, its covered with a fire-retardant material.
Its up to our standards, but the thing is its a one-hit seat, Horton said. The glue in the beads will deform permanently when impacted hard.
Creating an EPP seat takes a few more steps an EPS seat if formed, scanned and then machined out of an EPP block. Combined with the added EPP foam in the bottom, back and headrest, protection has been significantly increased.
If a driver happens to take multiple hits in a single accident, like Simona (de Silvestro) at Milwaukee, the 3 inches of material will protect them much better than the current car, Horton said.
INDYCAR, using sled testing with its crash test dummy THOR, will focus next on improvements in frontal impact safety.
Weve been very lucky in this series that our tubs and chassis have been very safe, Horton added. Weve been able to nitpick at stuff like the headrest design, and this new car incorporates what we learned in seating. In IndyCar, some of our big injuries have been in frontal. Weve done one round of sled testing and learned a great deal. Once we learn and validate more that can be of benefit, it will be incorporated in this car.
To a casual observer visiting Barber Motorsports Park on Friday the sleek, black car speeding around the track probably looked like a cross between a stealth fighter and the Batmobile.
It definitely would not have looked like any Indy car that has ever raced at the 2.38-mile road course.
A technical crew from the IZOD IndyCar Series leased the track Friday for a closed test session for the new car that IndyCar will use in 2012, bringing along Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon to drive it.
"Obviously from a visual perspective it's incredibly different," Wheldon said. "It's very eye-catching."
The new car will have a completely new chassis and Dallara-designed outer shell, known as an aero kit, as well as a new engine. It will be the first new car for the series in almost a decade.
"IndyCar has so much momentum it's important to continue that," Wheldon said. "We've had the same car for a long time."
And Wheldon said the car should be a big hit with fans.
"They'll like the fact that we have a turbocharged engine," he said.
In fact, the car will have one of three different engines. That's a big change from the current car, which uses Honda engines exclusively. Starting in 2012 three manufacturers -- Honda, Chevrolet and Lotus -- will produce IndyCar engines.
One of those new engines was provided by Honda for Friday's test at Barber, prompting the need for closing the test session. Honda doesn't want photos of the engine or technical data derived from it made public.
"We're respecting their request to keep it under wraps," said Will Phillips, IndyCar's vice president for technology.
Friday's session at Barber was the second test for the new car, Phillips said. It went through a brief shakedown at the Mid Ohio Sports Car Course before coming to Barber. And over the next month it'll be tested at all the different tracks that IndyCar races on -- mile-and-a-half ovals like Texas Motor Speedway, short tracks and road courses.
After that, manufacturers will be given cars to do their own testing with their engines. By 2012 teams will have to replace their current cars with the new cars, which will cost $385,800 each, engine not included.
That will require a substantial investment up front but in the long run it's intended to save teams money. The new car costs 40 percent less than the current one, Phillips said.
What happens to the current cars -- can they be used in another series or will they end up as museum pieces? -- is still undecided.
"We're working on that," Phillips said.
The new car also sports substantial safety improvements. Extra foam padding has been installed behind and underneath the driver, improvements that Phillips said would have prevented the type of injuries that Justin Wilson sustained in a crash this year.
It will also do away with the clutch pedal and move the shifting function to the wheel. And side pods enclosing the rear wheels will make crash-inducing, wheel-to-wheel contact during a race less likely.
But mostly it's intended to give the series a new look. It was actually supposed to give the series multiple new looks and get IndyCar away from being such a spec series with identical-looking cars.
Different aero kits for the car with different designs from each manufacturer were supposed to be introduced in 2012 along with the new engine and chassis.
But that change has been delayed a year in order to spread the cost out for teams. The 2012 car will only use the Dallara aero kit.
"It's proven to be very fast and very confidence inspiring," said Wheldon, who travels with the test team and may only drive in a couple more races this year. "I'm very much focused on this."
INDYCAR vice president of technology Will Phillips said the Sept. 1 test at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was the most valuable yet in validating the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series chassis, which is the purpose of the initial INDYCAR program.
Test driver Dan Wheldon put almost 400 miles on the Dallara Automobili-built chassis, running clockwise on the Grand Am/former Formula One course that incorporates tight and sweeping corners along with Turns 2 and 1 and much of the frontstrecth of the oval.
The test on the road course was good because we really wanted to get high mileage on the car, consistently get the car hot and keep it hot for a long period of time, Phillips said.
There was really good loading on the car, a lot of full-throttle time, which gave us a lot of ability to get aero numbers off the car by running up the straight. We could run at various speeds, picked different aero levels out, so that was very helpful. The loading, the G forces on the car, were reasonably high so we got high temps and put enough load on the car so we can now crack check and test all the suspension prior to giving us the confidence we want going to any oval.
Wheldon was impressed with the cars consistency through the day, particularly the brake pedal that didnt get soft running that much mileage in one day.
The previous test was conducted at Barber Motorsports Park, and the interim days were constructive for Dallara to finalize little bits and pieces of wiring and plumbing, to do some calibrations of sensors and that type of thing, according to Phillips.
Next up is three days on the Sebring International short course.
Its a great place for finding out if any component is going to break because its very bumpy, its hard work on the car and its hot. Even though it was almost 100 degrees while on the Indy road course, there were no issues with gearbox, water or oil temperatures, so all those systems are working very well. Sebring will continue to prove that and well vibration check the car and then well move on to a series of oval tests.
INDYCAR testing will continue through September, with the three engines manufacturers (Honda, Chevrolet, Lotus) commencing their testing in early October. Teams are schedule to take delivery of their first chassis in mid-December and team testing will start early in 2012.
In two days of testing the 2012 prototype chassis, Dan Wheldon drove almost the equivalent of an IZOD IndyCar Series race each day on the .875-mile Iowa Speedway oval.
It was time well spent, according to INDYCAR vice president of technology WIll Phillips, as the car went through a battery of short and long runs for the first time on an oval. Four road course tests preceded the time at Iowa Speedway, where the IZOD IndyCar Series will compete next June.
I'm very pleased with how it went, said Phillips, who is overseeing the initial phase of the testing program. We put in good mileage with no issues at all. We ran all sorts of aero configurations."
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway will play host to the next oval test of the 2012 car next week. Engine manufacturers will commence with their own on-track testing program in earnest in early October, and teams are scheduled to take delivery of their first chassis in mid-December.
The tests are very disciplined with everyone involved," said Wheldon, the reigning Indianapolis 500 champion. "We have several different manufacturers here that are testing their products: Honda, Dallara, Xtrac and several more so this makes for lots of different components that we need to test during our runs.
"Because this is the first test on an oval, there are measurements that have to be done. Things have to be tested and looked at after each given run so it is always good to be doing stuff like this. This program is very rewarding. The people involved in it, Bryan Herta Autosport team, has done a phenomenal job. The car has really evolved from our first test.
"We have some great manufacturers with a common goal to not only impress the fans with a new car but also build excitement.
Wheldon, who will compete in the IZOD INDYCAR World Championships on Oct. 16 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, said though not all the in-car tools have been at his disposal yet all the drivers will appreciate the additions and safety features.
INDYCAR has a great momentum right now. One thing I keep saying in the debriefs is that it is going to be difficult to improve significantly with the on-track product," he said. "The races this season have been phenomenal, whether it has been on a road course or an oval so that will be difficult to beat. But we are certainly working on that.
"This is a fresh look and it's more modern with a lot of great things about it. It has only two pedals in the car because of the hand clutch. It has a turbocharged engine. We are going to have multiple engine manufacturers involved, and with all of these changes comes a lot of excitement.
"I think when the team owners receive the 2012 car, they are going to know that Dallara has made every effort to improve on the current car. Its exciting from a safety aspect. There has been a lot of effort that has gone into that. This has been a great program to be involved with and I hope it gives me a leg up for next year."
Brembo has been named the exclusive supplier of brake systems for the IZOD IndyCar Series car, which debuts in 2012.
Brembo will initially deliver brake systems directly to Dallara Automobili, the manufacturer of the new chassis. Brembos North American racing operation headquartered in Mooresville, N.C., will provide parts and support to the teams throughout the season. The agreement runs through 2015.
Brembos design of the new brake system was based on the IZOD IndyCar Series requirements for a reliable, strong yet lightweight system that yielded high performance at a competitive cost. The sanctioning body also wanted the same brake system to be used for both ovals and road/street courses.
Brembo engineered a six-piston, monobloc aluminum caliper machined from billet with titanium-radiated pistons. The system will be used on all four wheels of the new chassis. Brembos six-piston caliper will increase stiffness and performance of the system without comprising weight requirements.
The new system will incorporate lightweight carbon-carbon discs -- similar to rotors used in Formula 1 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans -- and carbon pads. These components will allow teams to run the entire season, optimizing the quantity of components needed.
The occasion was a three-day superspeedway validation session of the Dallara Automobili-built chassis before engine manufacturers begin their testing in earnest Oct. 4-5 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course with drivers Scott Dixon (Honda) and Will Power (Chevrolet) in their own chassis. Teams are scheduled to take delivery of their first chassis in mid-December and commence testing after the first of the year.
We have to manage our expectations," Wheldon said. "I know everybody wants to see huge speeds, but its about doing whats right for the car. This is our final test and its important that we learn enough so when the customers get their cars we feel weve given them something theyll be very happy with.
Overall, the six weeks of on-track validation with the prototype chassis, working through issues and modifying appendages, has been fruitful and will be beneficial in the long term. INDYCAR vice president of technology Will Phillips said that the sanctioning body next will work with the manufacturers during their test period of the 2.2-liter, V-6, turbocharged engines.
Weve gone through all the different types of circuits but one (1.5-mile oval, which will be addressed during the manufacturer test phase) and validated the aero configuration against the speed that we intend to have for next year, Phillips said. Its really been a good collaboration from Bryan Herta Autosport, from Dan and his previous experience and from Dallara.
Aerodynamic and mechanical information has been collected into a Dallara megabook a spreadsheet that will be delivered with base information to teams. Dallara Automobili has begunn assembling chassis at a temporary facility in Speedway, Ind., until their North American headquarters across the street is completed by the end of the year.
Its been very good to be part of the process to learn about the car, to be at the track and help in the initial testing and development of the car, team co-owner Bryan Herta said. Some things take a bit getting used to, but I would say this car represents an improvement in almost every area and thats what weve been doing. Its lighter, safer, faster and weve worked to validate the mechanical reliability of the car and making sure the way Dallara has designed and engineered the car to perform that the wind tunnel numbers are matching up on track.
The program on the 2.5-mile oval also includes a Firestone tire test. Next week, Wheldon will return with three-time Indy 500 champion Helio Castroneves and Graham Rahal for tire testing in the current Honda-powered Dallara to get a good back-to-back comparison, according to Firestone Racing senior project engineer Dale Harrigle.
The 2012 car is lighter and its oval and road/street aero packages will produce different tendencies than the current chassis. Tire testing on ovals and road courses will be built into the manufacturer test period through mid-December.
Were doing our due diligence to make sure we dont have any issues, Harrigle said. Weve been working with Dallara and with INDYCAR to confirm the changes to the car, but still nothing beats track testing to make sure were in good shape for next years Indy 500.
Spectators, INDYCAR director of engine development Trevor Knowles predicts, will be able to distinguish which manufacturer is coming by just by the sound of the engine during the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series season.
Hes among the few to have heard on the dynamometer the developmental 2.2-liter, turbocharged V-6s of Honda and Chevrolet that will power the new Dallara Automobili-built chassis, and will be able to decipher more during the 10-week manufacturer development program that commences Oct. 3-4 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for Chevrolet (Will Power driving) and Honda (Scott Dixon). Lotus is expected to join the process soon.
Even though the engine configuration V-6, same capacity, same engine speeds (is the same), the three engines are quite different designs, Knowles said. Im not sure how much of that sound difference is single turbo and the other a double turbo or how much is just inherent to the engine design and the variations of the exhaust systems.
INDYCAR and Dallara, in conjunction with Bryan Herta Autosport and driver Dan Wheldon, completed seven weeks of on-track validation of the prototype chassis Sept. 29 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It also zipped around the .875-mile Iowa Speedway, Barber Motorsports Park, Sebring International and Mid-Ohio, though speed records werent the goal.
The purpose of this test is to prove the chassis performs as it was predicted by the simulations and Dallara carried out in design and constructing it, and for that reason we dont need to be going 230 mph, Knowles said.
Honda, the sole engine supplier to the IZOD IndyCar Series since 2006, provided an early development 2.2-liter, turbocharged V-6 for use in the chassis validation program.
On the dyno back at HPD weve made significant progress with the engine compared to where we are here, Honda Performance Development technical director Roger Griffiths said. What weve fundamentally concentrated on here is providing INDYCAR and Dallara with a reliable and stable package. Weve not been doing any engine development work at the track. Were not running the ECU that is the series spec. That will come when we do our own testing. Thats when the development program will accelerate rapidly.
That testing period covers a variety of speedways and road courses. GM Racnig director Mark Kent said he's eager to hear the engine on the racetrack.
"After months of testing the Chevy V-6 IndyCar engine on the engine dynamometer, it is very exciting to move on to the in-vehicle testing phase of the program, he said. The Chevrolet test team, consisting of representatives from all of our Chevrolet IndyCar teams, Ilmor Engineering and Chevrolet, has worked tirelessly during the past few weeks installing the Chevy V-6 IndyCar engine in the new chassis and preparing the car for the Mid-Ohio test. We're looking forward to the first official vehicle test.
INDYCAR has established parameters of 550 horsepower for ovals and 700 horsepower for road/street courses. The speedway number is derived from less drag on the 2012 car compared to current Dallara chassis thats been in use since 2003, while the road/street circuit high end is for acceleration out of corners.
We know how fast were able to go and so with that and the drag we know what power we need to get there, said Knowles, who will work with the manufacturers during the development period through mid-December.
From design to dyno is one phase, with the real work done at the track, according the Griffiths. With an early January delivery date to teams for their own testing programs, going back to the drawing board isnt an option.
It focuses your attention, Griffiths said. We have a mind-set of the production element of this engine because we cant wait until the week prior to the first race and say, OK, now we have our spec, lets go make stuff. We have a plan. We have to get our development done early enough that we can press the buttons and make the orders and supply engines for the teams.
The engines that the teams will be getting in January will be late-stage development engines, but they still wont be the final spec. We have to homologate the engine 30 days before the first race so well need to meet that time frame, and thats when were committing to our Race 1 spec.
During the course of the season there are a number of open development items on the engine that will allow us to continually evolve the engine through the course of the season. Its not were going to put our feet up and stop working 30 days prior to the first race.
Honda, which committed to the 2012 car project early on, has advocated manufacturer competition since it joined the IZOD IndyCar Series in 2003. The 2012 engine specs were announced in June 2010.
Were all engineers and get excited by this kind of stuff, Griffiths said. We didnt come to work for HPD to build spec engines; we came to go racing. We all want to go race in competition and see what we can do. We love the challenges; we love the fun and fight. There will be high periods and low periods, and its the combination of both that keeps driving you on.
Driving the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series car the previous seven weeks of validation testing, in which the sightlines are broader because of driver positioning and chassis architecture, gave the reigning Indianapolis 500 champion a keen perspective.
Safety is something weve worked hard to make a lot better, which includes the drivers seat and padding underneath and behind them, said INDYCAR vice president of technology Will Phillips, who oversaw phase 1 of the test program. Well learn more as we start to fit more drivers into the car and well get more feedback as new drivers start the manufacturer phase.
That 10-week block began in earnest Oct. 4 as Honda (Scott Dixon driving) and Chevrolet (Will Power) transitioned from testing the 2.2-liter, turbocharged V-6 engines from the dynamometer to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in their own Dallara Automobili-built chassis. A second two-day test is scheduled for the 1.5-mile Las Vegas Motor Speedway following the IZOD INDYCAR World Championships Presented by Honda on Oct. 16.
"It's a lot lighter, it's more nimble and to me, it's more up to date," Dixon said after the first day.
In the meantime, data gathered during the chassis tests at three road courses and two ovals will be digested and assimilated in the first production order scheduled to be delivered to IZOD IndyCar Series teams in mid-December. Theyll start testing with associated manufacturers after the first of the year as the series will have engine manufacturer competition for the first time since 2005. The season opener is March 25 on the streets of St. Petersburg, Fla.
Phillips, 2012 car project manager Tony Cotman and INDYCAR director of engine development Trevor Knowles watched Wheldon ease the new car off of the Mid-Ohio pit lane Aug. 8 during its maiden on-track activity. They would have liked seven months instead of seven weeks for the homologation.
Quickly the collaboration between INDYCAR, Dallara, the test team, Bryan Herta Autosport, and Dan was established and has done a really good job, Phillips said. Hes focused on whats been needed from him to provide the feedback to Dallara and be consistent and concise. You couldnt have asked for more in that respect.
Have we achieved every single goal? Most of them. Have we achieved the speeds at each track that we wanted to? No, simply because its so early in the development of the engine program and the car itself. Are the indications good on what weve done? Yes. Were happy that the car has the potential to meet and or exceed the expectations that we will have. Do we expect lap times to be quicker on the road and street circuits? Yes. On the short ovals? Yes. Indy is the hardest one to predict where its going to be, but we were very pleased with the test there.
Three days were dedicated on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway a capricious 2.5 miles of asphalt that has tested man and machine for more than 100 years last week.
Our first goal was to go out and get the car flat and make sure the car was capable of doing that, Phillips said. Once we did that, we started to trim the car a little bit and then went up and down various aero levels to give us more than one data point. We didnt try to do anything to make us go faster than we were. We were running around 211 mph as the average and were looking at our top speeds were and what our deltas were between top speed and corners and comparing that to the current car.***8232; So it wasnt out there to set a particular time; Honda is six months away from their race engine.
Weather, production schedules and track availability during the validation period conspired to erase a few items that were on the checklist.
Some of the instrumentation well be using to monitor boost and engine functions we still have a test program that well work with the manufacturers in Phase 2 of the testing to run those and collect the data so well know we have the resources in place to effectively monitor and control what we need to do as the series, Phillips said.
Also included in the Speedway program was the placement and functionality of four HD camera mounts on the car for 2012 the rotation camera on top of the roll hoop, one on the right rear wing endplate, another on the right intake duct looking through the suspension and another in a rearview mirror looking back at the driver.
If one car is using the camera, every other car will be running a dummy camera, Phillips noted. We needed to check that there were no vibration issues, safety issues.
Overall, Phillips said hes pleased with the program, which is on schedule as laid out in July 2010, though there are many long days ahead.
The process I think we went about it the right way, working with Dallara very closely in trying to make sure we ran through all the different aero configurations that potentially were going to race and the boost levels that are required to set those aero levels at each of the circuits, he said. As were aware, we didnt run at a one-and-a-half-mile oval and thats just a variance of the test program and track availability. Well go back with the manufacturers as they go there post-Vegas for example. We have the basis to go forward and start filling in the holes we have.
Jim Campbell, Chevrolet U.S. Vice President for Performance Vehicles and Motorsports, and GM Racing Director Mark Kent joined principals of the three aligned teams in providing an update about the engine program at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Its exciting because racing has been part of our heritage and history, said Campbell, who was flanked by Team Penske, Andretti Autosport and Panther Racing representatives. In our recent open-wheel racing history we have had a lot of success. We have looked at the engine rules laid out by INDYCAR and they align well with our production side, including biofuel and turbo-charged engines.
What we learn on the engine development side in racing will help make our production engines better.
Chevrolet and Honda on-track development/testing commenced last week at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and will continue next week at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (Ryan Hunter-Reay, Chevy, and Scott Dixon, Honda, driving) and through mid-December when IZOD IndyCar Series teams receive their first new chassis from Dallara Automobili. Teams will begin testing after the first of the year, and the 2012 season opener is March 25 at St. Petersburg, Fla.
INDYCAR validation of the next-generation car was completed two weeks ago at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The new engine will be a 2.2-liter, turbocharged, direct-injection V-6 fueled by E85. INDYCAR will be able to adjust the boost level to provide appropriate horsepower to the wide variety of racetracks on which the IZOD IndyCar Series races. Chevys engine is a twin-turbo supplied by BorgWarner.
Chevrolet and its technical partners have met all of the development targets for the new powerplant, Kent said. "In our last media briefing before the Indianapolis 500, I said that the new Chevy IndyCar V-6 would be up and running in June. I'm pleased to report that the engine fired up for the first time on June 16, and dyno testing began immediately.
Since then we have focused on power development and durability testing to achieve the series' goal of 2,000 miles between rebuilds.
GM Racing is using a cooperative team strategy to accelerate development of the engine.
"The test team is made up of individuals from each of our key partner teams, and we are operating as Team Chevy," Kent said.
It also is creating the infrastructure to support its IndyCar effort.
"Many of the components of the Chevy IndyCar V-6 require long lead times to manufacture, and these parts are now in production," Kent said. "Our technical partner, Ilmor Engineering in Plymouth, Mich., has plans in place to distribute and maintain Chevrolet engines for our IndyCar teams."
Power, who will contend for the IZOD IndyCar Series World Championship Trophy on Oct. 16 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the season finale, said the power behind the new chassis was impressive during the two-day Mid-Ohio session.
It was awesome driving out of pit lane for the first time and feeling the turbo engine, Power said. The test went flawlessly, which shows you what kind of job Chevrolet and (partner) Ilmor Engineering have done. We will continually ramp it up and work on making the engine better.
It will be a great year in 2012 having turbo engines back in the series.

Will Power made his IndyCar test return in the new Dallara DW12 chassis. He completed more than 100 laps in a private test at Barber Motorsports Park. Power was able to get an early gauge of the new Dallara chassis and said the test made him positive about the car and the forthcoming season.
"It [the new chassis] is definitely faster," he said. "Around this track it's really hooked up. It's got incredible grip.
It has better grip because it makes better use of ground effects due to the under floor's tunnels and greater area for the negative pressure to act upon.

Penske Racing Shocks is excited to announce that the all new 2012 Indy Car will be on display in their booth at the upcoming SEMA Show held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from November 1-4, 2011.
A world leader in suspension technology, Penske Racing Shocks has been working side by side with Indy Car and Dallara on the development of the new chassis design for 2012, and has recently released a new shock line engineered specifically for the IZOD IndyCar Series.
Penske Racing Shocks and Indy Car couldnt think of a better way to show off this awesome vehicle up-close for all of its fans to see than to display it at the SEMA Show, the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world.
Penske Racing Shocks Director of Competition, Aaron Lambert, added, Penske Racing Shocks is very excited to have the opportunity to display the 2012 Indy Car. Over the past 6 months we have worked alongside Indy Car and Dallara on the suspension components and have been pleased with the results. The Indy Car market has always been and will continue to be a key market for Penske Racing Shocks and is a test bed for technology that ultimately finds its way to Grassroots racers.
Penkse first helped to develop J-Dampers or Cambridge inerters with McLaren F1 in 2003-2004 and has since licensed the technology from Cambridge to bring it to other forms of racing.
In recent years Penske has become the preferred shock for the majority of the Indy Car paddock. The new damper has been designed specifically with the new 2012 Indy Car in-mind. All of the technologies incorporated in this new damper have been recently raced in F1 according to its makers. It utilises the current 45mm bore size, so current Penske 45mm pistons and builds will carry over. The design will allow conversion from a mono-tube (8780-M), to thru rod (8780-T), to hybrid inerter (8780-H), without a complete new shock needed for each because the core components of the shock are interchangeable.
The damper can also be outfitted with Penskes 3000 Series Active System which expedites rig and track development. The 3000 system allows teams to electronically develop curves, save them to a data base, and easily upload them with the push of a few keys.
I'm waiting to see articles on the 3 new engines. Too bad the rules will not the turbo(s) to be mounted in the valley of the engine with reverse intake and exhaust valves like in the LMP1 LeMans and ALMS cars.

Xtrac has been selected as the sole gearbox supplier to Dallara for the 2012 Indycar. For the new car the English firm has developed a new transmission dubbed the 1011. Engineer Adrew Heard reveal more about the new cars gearbox.
We are adding more tuneability, if there is such a word. Expect there to be a few more options that will allow the engineers to tune the transmission more with more options in set up. We are also incorporating into the design many of the features that have been added onto the design of the current gearbox since it was first introduced. Key things that have happened since 2003 is that a differential was added for road course racing and then a paddle shift system was added. Reverse was the most recent thing to be added. All these features have been designed in since the initiation of the project, which allows for nicer packaging with less add-ons.
We have designed it for slightly higher torque capacity. We are trying to keep the weight down but maintain the safety record as well in terms of such as tethers and lights on it. We have had a good track record there and we do not want to be moving backwards.
It is still a six speed plus reverse and the differential will be adjustable.
The main Megaline GCU is a carry over from the current car but there will be firmware/software updates. It will be communicating with a new ECU. The new cars will have drive by wire throttle, as opposed to a pneumatic blipper so the GCU needs to communicate differently. The valve block is similar in operation but we only need two valves instead of three because there is no throttle blipper. We are integrating the actuator into the casings rather than being a bolt on part.
Paddle shifters undoubtedly bring cost savings to the teams in terms of gearbox inventory. Taking the driver away from direct control of the gearshift is good. However good the drivers are, errors still used to be made and you got damage to the transmission. We have seen over revs of the engine go to zero. I understand that avoiding one over rev rebuild pays for the paddle shift system.
Chevy drivers from Andretti Autosport, KV Racing Technology, Panther Racing and Team Penske had the opportunity to get behind the wheel during the development program that began in early October at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Lotus is scheduled to join on-track testing Jan. 13. HVM Racing is expected to take delivery of the Lotus chassis before Christmas as the host team for the engine program, according to team manager Vince Kremer.
Target Chip Ganassi Racing, A.J. Foyt Racing, Sam Schmidt Motorsports, Rahal Letterman Lanigan, Service Central Chip Ganassi Racing and Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing are aligned with Honda.
The three days of on-track experience before the holiday break was encouraging, according to Honda Performance Development technical director Roger Griffiths.
"It was our first opportunity to use the new McLaren electronics package we will all run in 2012, so a lot of very basic calibration runs and work with the basic engine and gearbox controls had to be completed," he said.
"It's all about learning and systematically exploring the capabilities of the new software and the way it controls the engine. "It was a very encouraging start, but we know there still is much work to be done and we expect development to continue from now until the start of the season.
"Takuma Sato made his first runs in the car, and they were his first laps in a turbocharged race car. He exceeded all of our expectations, both his performance behind the wheel and technical feedback were excellent."
Dallara officials said the company will absorb the costs associated with producing new suspension components for the DW12 in an effort to optimize the weight distribution of the new car, especially for superspeedways.
"As requested by INDYCAR, Dallara will design an alternative set of suspensions to move back 2 inches the front wheels and 1 inch the rear wheels, head of research and development Andrea Toso said.
Both front and both rear suspensions will be available for the teams from the catalog and can be utilized in any combination front to rear at all the events. Teams will take delivery of their cars with the current set of suspensions and, should they decide to start the season with the alternative set, they can get free of charge replacement based on the return of the current set."
Also, wind tunnel testing will be conducted in early January -- comparing data from the 2011 Indianapolis 500 car of Target Chip Ganassi Racing and the new car in an effort to resolve superspeedway aerodynamic drag issues exhibited in the chassis validation and engine manufacturer development.
Fifteen teams picked up their first chassis Dec. 15 at the new Dallara facility on Main Street in Speedway, Ind. The cost of the car (minus engine, wheels, drivers seat and steering wheel and battery) is $385,800. Dallara is expected to produce 60 chassis before the start of the season March 25 on the streets of St. Petersburg, Fla. The next 15 will be ready for pick-up Jan. 15.
The universal chassis were shipped from Dallara Automobili's facility in Parma, Italy, to its temporary building in Speedway, Ind. -- across the street from its new technology center. Entrants not based in Indiana -- A.J. Foyt Racing, Team Penske, Michael Shank Racing and Rahal Letterman Lanigan -- will take delivery in the morning. Others will follow in the afternoon.
Dallara Aero
Dragon Racing is moving from Indianapolis to Marina del Rey, Calif.
Penske said the two-car team -- drivers Sebastien Bourdais and Katherine Legge with backing from Lotus -- is moving into a custom-built 12,000-square-foot glass building that will showcase the IndyCar effort.
"It will be much easier to facilitate sponsorship and get people to come see your shop," Penske said. "Once they see this thing it's going to be pretty good."
Penske said the reorganized team is getting help from three West Coast teams: Pacific Coast Motorsports, Dan Gurney's All-American Racers and PPI Motorsports. Some aspects of the team will remain in Indianapolis, where the bulk of the sport operates.
Team sponsorships are still to be announced, but Microsoft and McAfee will be involved. Legge has ties to TrueCar.

Mesenteric venous thrombosis
Mesenteric venous thrombosis is a blood clot in one or more of the major veins that drain blood from the intestine.
Mesenteric venous thrombosis is a clot that blocks blood flow a mesenteric vein, one of two veins through which blood leaves the intestine. The condition interrupts the blood supply to the intestine and can result in damage to the intestines.
Mesenteric venous thrombosis has a variety of causes. Many of the diseases that lead to this condition cause swelling (inflammation) of the tissues surrounding the veins, including:
- Appendicitis
- Cancer
- Diverticulitis
- Liver disease with cirrhosis
- Pancreatitis
Patients who have disorders that make the blood more likely to stick together (clot) have a higher risk for mesenteric venous thrombosis. Birth control pills and estrogen medicines increase your risk of this condition.
- Abdominal pain, which may get worse after eating and over time
- Bloating
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Vomiting
Exams and Tests
A CT scan is the main test used to diagnose mesenteric venous thrombosis.
Other tests may include:
- Angiogram (studying the blood flow to the intestine)
- MRI of the abdomen
- Ultrasound of the abdomen and mesenteric veins
Blood thinners (most commonly heparin) are used to treat mesenteric venous thrombosis when there is no associated bleeding. In some cases, medicine can be delivered directly into the clot to dissolve it. This procedure is called thrombolysis.
Less often, the clot is removed with a type of surgery called thrombectomy.
If you have signs and symptoms of a severe infection called peritonitis, you will usually need surgery to remove the intestine. After surgery, you may need an ileostomy (opening from the small intestine into a bag on the skin) or colostomy (an opening from the colon into the skin).
Outlook (Prognosis)
How well you do depends on the cause of the thrombosis. Getting treatment for the cause before the intestine has died can result in a good recovery.
Possible Complications
Intestinal ischemia is a serious complication of mesenteric venous thrombosis. Some or all of the intestine dies because of poor blood supply.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have severe or repeated episodes of abdominal pain.

I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations!

How do i save my shsh blobs using snowbreeze ( i have an iphone 4 currently jailbroken ) and plz include a guide.. Thanks
Oh DO tell me the reason why you got a new iP5? Was it that muffled sound through the earpiece speaker I've been reading about? Apple wouldn't take mine back for that reason even though it's being talked about ALL over the net. I'm calling it 'muffle-gate'.. LOL!!Edit: I got a replacement iPhone 5 this week and I get the same battery life on iOS 6.0.2. I don't think I had any kind of magical phone to begin with.
- I plugged in my iPhone 5
- Opened redsn0w and clicked "Extras"
- Clicked "SHSH blobs"
- Clicked "New"
- Selected my iOS 6.0.2 firmware
- redsn0w told me it saved blobs and asked me if I wanted to submit them
- I clicked yes
- Done
Afterwards, you will be able to verify that redsn0w submitted them to Cydia by clicking the Query button. (Optional)
Question. Why is OTA bad? I can personally report worse battery life on a fresh 6.0.2 than I did with OTA from 6.0
Also has there ever been a jailbreak that didn't work for all past FW? Meaning if the jb works for 6.0.2 it will work for that FW and older?
And I'll say it again. I have NEVER seen a jailbreak released for a FW that isn't being signed by apple. Especially sense the iPhone 4S and newer can't even be restored to older FW even with saved blobs and whatnot.
My guess would be the jail break will be released when it works with 6.1. I could be wrong. And because I don't depend on a jail break and would rather be on a current FW i will be updating when 6.1 is released. And if I'm wrong. Oh well lol

Wildfires Burn on Two Fronts
Helicopters and a DC-10 made massive water drops on the brushy foothills of the
"They hit it pretty hard and heavy," said
There was no immediate word, however, on when the blaze might be contained and the evacuation lifted.
The fire was reported shortly before near Interstate 15 in the
Winds gusting to 18 mph pushed the flames and at least 100 firefighters fought the blaze, Underhill said.
Meanwhile, a 250-acre wildfire in the
Winds were light and the fire barely moved through the day, instead snapping up leftover brush inside the scorched area.
"There isn't even any active flame. We're not seeing any smoke. We're seeing small pockets of flame here and there," Judy said.
The nearest towns were miles away, and by early afternoon no homes were threatened, Judy said.
At the fire's height, about 450 firefighters were aided by aircraft, which included drops by Super Scoopers and heavy helicopters. One firefighter was treated for a minor leg injury, Judy said.
High temperatures in the region were in the 80s, but Judy said they were cooling down. Forecasters said an upper-level, low pressure area moving into the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday night and Wednesday would cause an increasing flow of cool, moist air from the ocean onto the land.
The fire was burning in terrain east of the 250-square-mile area of the

Re: Oral Arguments
It can be forcing you to buy anything. That's the point Roberts made the first day - next the gov't will force you to buy an electric car or to eat health foods like brocolli. You can name any items.
That is what the communists do.
Many Christians don't even take the Bible to church anymore. Everything is
posted on huge video screens now including the words of the songs. There's
no more Bibles or hymn books.
Many if not most Christians have never read the Bible from cover to cover and can't even name 3 of the 10 Commandments nor can they name the first book of the new testament. No, it wasn't Mathew. Less than 10% have
ever told anyone about Christ and less than 5% have ever led
anyone to Christ.

Re: Oral Arguments
1. People choosing not to buy bibles doesn't lead to $1000.00 premium paid by all of us each year leading to somewhere between 50 billion and 500 billion a year absorbed by the country depending on the study you cite.
2. People not buying bibles doesn't affect the price of bibles to a degree that their price will double in the next several years.
3. The cost of bibles doesn't represent 17% of the nation's GDP
4. People not buying bibles doesn't lead to 50,000 unnessesary deaths a year.
You can feel free to fill in broccoli, cell phones, gm cars etc to the analogy and they all severely fail to address the COMMERCE concerns of the individual mandate and the uninsured. I get it that you don't understand this but how does Verrilli not make this obvious point?
This is was why Kennedy mentioned the uniqueness of this case vs. broccoli and cell phones as well as where Kennedy and/or Roberts will find their "limiting principle".
What is infuriating to people like myself who actually read about healthcare on a regular basis is how someone like yourself, who can get on here and challenge (bluster) the "complexity" of someone's thought by yourself bulleting four legal arguments to be presented, which by the way, any 8th grader could gleem from the front page of the USA Today in less time than it takes to take a dump, yet you miserably fail at understanding what is really being debated here. It has zero to do with your ideological need to feel "free" but has more to deal with bending the cost curve of something we all use, healthcare, to a reasonable level.
Yet you think forcing people to buy bibles is equivalent. If you guys really want to know what will lead to the eventual decline of America, I don't know if there is an clearer example than this healthcare debate and how misinformed, uninformed and just plain ignorant some people are.

Re: Oral Arguments
The "you're to stupid to understand this" line from our resident narcissist again ....
I get a giggle every time.
Re: Oral Arguments
Re: Oral Arguments
Finally you are the one that always start this shit with people. You should be careful criticizing the "complexity" of someone's thought when you have historically been not much more than simple. If you can't take it than play elsewhere.
Re: Oral Arguments
Sorry Galen, the broccoli cell phone analogy, all apply, if the government can say, you're going to need healthcare eventually regardless of whether you can afford to pay out of pocket or not, must by health insurance, they can tell you to buy anything cause at some point you're going to anyway.
Whether or not the SCOUTS agrees with that and or agrees the mandate can't be severed is another story.

Then he should have used an example that is actually comparable. He drew a direct equivalency between health insurance and a bible when there is none. Is there some actual service that people could use that isn't mandatory. Car insurance? Nope. Renter's insurance? Nope. I'm being honest, I can't think of many vital services we get to opt out of like health insurance.
Sorry for the delay. While I was typing this I got attacked by my dead beat brother in law. I'm off to the emergency room. Glad I have health insurance. <- Not a joke. Seriously just got my eye gouged by a deadbeat relative. Now I know how BC's wallet feels around his sister in law.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron
Re: Oral Arguments
Who's to say the government won't force us to buy products that only fit within the criteria they set down as being healthy or manufactured by plants, etc. that fall within their guidelines of environmental contamination because that could effect our health?
There's a whole hoist a things that could be brought into this equation if this pandoras box is opened.
You're concerned about the amount of money our private insurance is going to cost us if we don't pass this bill?
Is there stuff in this bill prohibiting insurance companys from raising their premiums?
Who's to stop them from going out of business forcing everybody to take part in the governments plan?
How much freakin' money in taxes is this going to cost me that I'm now saving (in your eyes) in my insurance premium?
You really think the government can anticipate how much money this will cost?
How the hell do they know how many people are out there in need, and what those peoples issues are?
What about all the newborns that come into the country by parents that don't have insurance that now need healthcare?
Who's to say the government won't borrow money from the pool of tax money designated for this program and screw it up? (see social security)
There's a shit load of unknowns and what ifs involved here that could (and probably would) backfire from this that is impossible to forecast or account for financially.
There's a shit load wrong with the healthcare system including rising costs which seems to be proponents of the bills biggest concerns.
But trying to force their alternative onto us is asking for trouble and unaccounted for problems.Will Die A Ravens Fan!!

2001 Land Rover Discovery Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2001 Land Rover Discovery based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate due to a defective EVAP leak detection pump or defective a oxygen sensor.
One or more of the power windows may fail due to a worn window regulator. Replacement of the failed regulator should correct this problem.
A sticking windshield wiper switch can cause a delay in wiper operation, especially in cold weather.
The intake manifold can leak coolant externally, however it is not typically due to a gasket failure. The intake manifold bolts tend to come loose and need to be replaced/updated.
Low coolant levels can be caused by leaking head gaskets and/or failed cylinder liners. Misfires or engine performance issues usually accompany these problems.
Internal failure of the rear cargo door latch can cause the door to not open when using the outside door handle.
A sticky ignition switch can cause the ignition key to become stuck, and possibly break during operation.
A Coolant leak under the middle of the vehicle can be caused by a leaking throttle body deicer. Coolant travels down the engine towards the rear before dripping to the ground.
A sticking thermostat can cause the engine cooling fans to operate even if they are not needed for cooling.
And exhaust leak may be caused by catalytic converter securing nuts coming loose.
The engine oil pan and valve cover gaskets tend to develop oil leaks.
The transfer case can develop a fluid leak from the intermediate shaft and/or the access plates.
Uneven ride height on the vehicle can be caused by leaking air springs.
If a brake light is not working, and the bulb is good, the brake light socket should be inspected because they can burn out.

Lindsay & Colin
July 28
Portland, Oregon
Q & A with the Bride:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
Colin and I met in Portland, Oregon, and even though we had moved away, we knew we wanted to get married in the city. An outdoor wedding was also very important to both of us so we created a list of outdoor event spaces within Portland's city limits and visited them all. As soon as we stepped out onto the DeSoto Rooftop, I knew it was the perfect place for our reception. It had a relaxed Pacific Northwest feel to it. I loved the view of downtown buildings filling the skyline in one direction and the backdrop of trees from the neighboring park in the other direction. Our ceremony was held at Mt. Tabor, a city park where Colin and I spent many weekend afternoons. The summit offers beautiful views of our favorite city and we knew we wanted to exchange vows at this special place with our family and friends. I was also very fond of the juxtaposition of a wooded park for our ceremony and an urban outdoor scene for our reception. It was a perfect cross section of all that Portland has to offer.
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. My Bouquet: Flowers were the last thing on my mind as I was getting ready, but once the gorgeous bouquet's were delivered I couldn't take my eyes of them.
2. Sparkling Wine Bottles: My step-dad makes wine and he served one of his sparkling varieties at our reception. In lieu of labels, he hand wrote our names on each bottle. It meant a lot to me that he spent time on this project and I loved the look of the bottles on the tables.
3. Chamomile toss: I heard of a couple giving dried chamomile to their guests to toss as they left the reception because it looked like gold dust in photos taken with a flash. After I saw the pictures, I wanted to do the same at our wedding. The chamomile in the air smelled fantastic and I adore the way our departure photos turned out.

|Police and Advocates Push for Sobering Centres
Press Release
November 30, 2010
A group of non-profit organizations, along with police, health authorities, first responders and housing groups will be at a meeting convened by the BCCLA to discuss how to save the lives of those who are arrested for being drunk, high or otherwise intoxicated in public. The event will be live online at http://www.mywebtvhost.com/members/bccla/
The meeting, also sponsored by the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, the Elizabeth Fry Society, and the Frank Paul Society, will focus on alcohol harm reduction and feature speakers from the RCMP and Vancouver Police Department, as well as speakers from Portland's Sobering Station and Toronto's Seaton House
"This issue is beyond debate," said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs. "We must organize ourselves to work on this pressing issue, explore real solutions and to send a strong message to the province that they have must act immediately on one of the key recommendations of the Frank Paul Inquiry."
The Vancouver Police Department had fully developed plans for a sobering centre that was never funded by the province. The RCMP advises the BCCLA they are currently working in the Yukon to establish a sobering centre in Whitehorse.
"The Frank Paul Inquiry first phase report recommended the implementation of sobering centres to save lives," said David Dennis, President of the Frank Paul Society, noting that three of the eight B.C. coroner's inquests held this year into in-custody deaths recommended the establishment of sobering centres for the same reason.
"The point for us is that a minimum of 18 people between 2008 and 2010 would likely not have died had they received medical supervision and attention in sobering centres," said Shawn Bayes, Executive Director of the Elizabeth Fry Society.
There is no natural constituency to push for attention to this issue," noted Robert Holmes, President of the BCCLA. "Groups of homeless, chronic alcoholics are not going to make their way to Victoria to lobby for this. Police departments under budget constraints are not going to have this at the top of their list. Yet the public is getting tired of hand-wringing after each death occurs. So we have decided to give a voice to those who otherwise won't be heard. We're thankful others are partnering with us and we ask the public to join in calling for government to deal with it."
Recent coroner's inquests calling for sobering centres, compiled by the Elizabeth Fry Society:
MILLER, Christine Bernadette – October, 2010
According to figures compiled by the Elizabeth Fry Society, there were twenty-three inquests into deaths in police custody between 2008 and 2010 in British Columbia. Of those inquests, 13 deaths were related to substance use (over intoxication, toxicity, organ failure because of it, respiratory arrest, pneumonia, etc). A further 6 deaths were due to head injury. The remaining 4 deaths were either for unknown causes or other reasons.
List of deaths in custody since 2006 that may have been prevented by sobering centres
