A Newton County judge has ruled that the Transportation Development District board is a valid entity, according to the board chairman.
A Newton County judge has ruled that the Transportation Development District board is a valid entity, according to the board chairman.
Ray Stipp said Newton County Division III Associate Circuit Court Judge Kevin Lee Selby made the ruling under what is known as the "doctrine of latches."
"Essentially, if an entity is ruled valid at the time it is originated and is not challenged within a period of time, and has entered into several agreements, then it's too late to make a change," Stipp said.
The ruling came Friday afternoon in response to an August petition filed by the city of Neosho, alleging the formation of the TDD was invalid.
While last minute negotiations were held earlier in the week, first with a special session council meeting on Tuesday, and again on Thursday in a closed session TDD meeting, the two parties were unable to reach an agreement by Thursday night, Stipp earlier told The Daily News.
While both sides have expressed interest in pursuing a Community Improvement District, the validity of the TDD, as well as the city's recent rescission of a cooperative agreement with the TDD have been points of contention.
The TDD board argues that the council's Nov. 20 vote to rescind the cooperative agreement puts the TDD's cost-share agreement with the Missouri Department of Transportation in jeopardy, while the city maintains that based on the statute subsection under which the TDD was formed, combined with who acts as the voters within the TDD, the entity is invalid, therefore, making the cooperative agreement null and void.
The TDD was formed in February 2011, and stretches from Waldo Hatler Drive to Industrial Drive, and from Kodiak Road to just east of Laramie Lane.
The group has been collecting a half-cent sales tax within its borders since January 1.
More on the story will be in Sunday's print and on-line editions.

Lil Wayne & Skylar Diggins Dating? Not Really…
Here is how these stories go, try to follow along.
Lil Wayne and Skylar Diggins have a little tweet flirting going on, if you recall I was one of the first ones to bring it to light (Lil Wayne Rocks a Skylar Diggins Jersey During Concert).
Skylar is in Atlanta to check out the WNBA Finals and Jeggins Wayne also happens to be in the ATL. They end up seeing each other at the same game.
Next thing you know they are branded a "couple".
Nice headline, but not necessarily true. It is cute story, but factually inaccurate one. Just both happened to be at the same place at the same time and they are friends. No secret relationship and more importantly for Notre Dame, Weezy has not decided to make Skylar his next egg donor.
That's all, no need to make it something that it isn't.

The STEM Gateways Act would provide grants for classroom learning, career preparation, mentoring, internships, informal learning and other appropriate educational activities.
New York's U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Rep. Joe Kennedy of Massachusetts, Tuesday introduced new legislation aimed at encouraging women, minorities and economically disadvantaged students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
The STEM Gateways Act would provide grants for classroom learning, career preparation, mentoring, internships, informal learning and other appropriate educational activities, Gillibrand announced.
"New York is home to the greatest colleges and universities, and the world's most innovative minds," stated Gillibrand. "But if we're going to compete and win in the global economy, we must prepare our students with the education they need for the jobs of the future. That starts with getting more talented young women, minorities, and students in high-need communities into the STEM pipeline."
The STEM Gateways Act would provide funding through the U.S. Department of Education to help schools implement rigorous STEM academics, with a focus on reaching underrepresented groups. Selected elementary and secondary schools in partnership with community colleges, non-profits, and other partner organizations would be able to use federal funding to support STEM, classroom activities, extracurricular and after-school learning, summer programs, student tutoring and mentoring, and professional development for educators, the release said. Such focused efforts on expanding STEM opportunities for girls, minorities and economically disadvantaged students will broaden and strengthen the pipeline of American STEM workers.

A quick question. If your engine is designed to handle almost anything thrown at it, then why not throw a 30 shot at it? So the stock engine can handle 20+ psi and I am keeping it around 14 psi max. Why not turn up the boost with some NOS?
Even if i never use it I ordered a NOS sniper single point wet system. If i am only shooting a 30 shot no need for direct port,,,,,,yet. The single point fogger system will be fine,,,,,, for now.
Hill, have you checked out this site http://kp61.net/ think it would benefit you. Keep the pics coming though on this site also its been a fun thread.
I am stupidstuff on other forums as most of what i do is stupid. lol,,,,, you guys know what I mean. I have my build there as well and that is where I got most of my education on these cars. That place moves really slowly as this car is kinda rare. Great source of info though.
I hope to have all the goodies by middle of next week.
While we wait here is a little info I found to read up on explaining why I am opting for both water/meth injection and Nitrous.
Optimize Your Nitrous System With A Water Methanol Injection System
Recently here at AIS, two of the most asked questions by inquiring customers has been "Can I use water methanol injection with my nitrous oxide? And if so, what sort of benefits will it offer me?" Because of these inquiries, we decided to dedicate an article specifically for it to help answer and explain some of these common questions we receive concerning the use of water methanol injection with nitrous.
Can I Use Water Methanol Injection With My Nitrous Oxide?
Absolutely. Nitrous oxide injection and water methanol injection are very compatible and safe to use together. In fact, water injection is quickly becoming the most effective, economical and efficient method of optimizing the performance of both wet and dry nitrous oxide systems. Furthermore, not only can water methanol injection enhance the power producing effects of your nitrous system, it can also significantly increase engine safety and reliability at the same.
...A well needed benefit for nitrous users as we all know all to well of the harsh conditions nitrous can put engines through.
So, what sort of benefits can a water methanol injection system offer? Before we getting in to this. To better help everyone understand, let's quickly go over the basic principles and explain how nitrous oxide injection works.
How Nitrous Oxide Injection Works
Nitrous oxide is made up of 2 parts nitrogen and one part oxygen (36% oxygen by weight). During the combustion process in an engine, at about 572 degrees F, nitrous oxide splits releasing the oxygen and nitrogen. The released oxygen helps create additional power by allowing more fuel to be burned. While the released nitrogen acts to buffer and dampen the rapidly increasing cylinder pressure. Yet still, the use of nitrous oxide results in an accelerated combustion rate therefore requiring the need for reduced ignition timing. General rule of thumb is to reduce ignition timing 1 to 1-1/2 degrees per every 50 horsepower gain.
Nitrous also has a tremendous "inter cooling" effect, reducing intake charge temperatures by 60 to 75 degrees F on naturally aspirated applications. Lowering the air charge temperature coming into the intake allows for a denser air charge, therefore creating more horsepower. A general rule of thumb is for every 10 Degrees F. reduction in intake charge temperature, a 1% increase in power will be realized. For example: A 450 HP engine with an intake temperature drop of 70 Degrees F, would gain approximately 31.5 horsepower from the cooling affect alone.
Now that we have an accurate and basic understanding on how nitrous oxide works. Let begin talking about how water methanol injection can benefit a nitrous oxide system and the engine.
How Will Adding A Water Methanol Injection System To My Nitrous Oxide Injection Benefit Me?
It's no secret nitrous oxide offers big seat of the pants power with it's massive low rpm torque increases. However, do to it's instant "explosive" type power gains, one of the biggest problems associated with nitrous oxide is it's accelerated combustion rates. This leads to rapid cylinder pressure rise, resulting in substantial increased risk and occurrence of detonation. Additionally, rapid rises in cylinder pressure dramatically increase loads placed upon the internal engine components limiting their ability to make more horsepower reliably.
Follow along as we go over various benefits offered by combining a water methanol injection system with nitrous oxide injection.
Acts As An Effective Octane Enhancer - Octane is a very big and obvious factor in controlling and allowing how much nitrous, compression and timing can be safely mixed together at one time with out detonation occurring. This is particularly important when the use of higher octane fuels are not available or practical and regular premium pump gas must be used.
Together, water methanol injection serves to act as a substantial octane enhancer allowing 91-93 octane to perform like 110+ octane fuel. Methanol being a high octane fuel and burning as part of the combustion process. While water is not a burnable fuel, it is an extremely effective anti-detonant, effectively slowing down the burn rate of the fuel. Spray to much water and it will simply quench spark all together.
Slows Down & Stabilizes The Combustion Process - It's a known fact nitrous accelerates the combustion process as evident through the ignition timing retard required when using nitrous oxide. Performing much like a high octane fuel, water injection is an extremely effective octane enhancer. Thereby, slowing down the burn rate of the fuel and stabilizing the combustion process. Additionally, water also reduces combustion chamber temperatures. Thereby further stabilizing the combustion process by minimizing "hot spots" which can lead to detonation.
Slower Rise In Cylinder Pressure - By slowing down and stabilizing the combustion process. Water methanol injection is also able to help slow the rapidly rising cylinder pressure normally associated with nitrous oxide. This significantly helps reduce the risk and occurrence of detonation. Furthermore, slower rise in cylinder pressure reduces violent engine loads and improves the engines ability to make more horsepower reliably.
Reduces Combustion Chamber Temperatures - Knowing what we know about nitrous oxide, with the rapid release of oxygen and ability to burn more fuel, cylinder pressure increases dramatically, while also creating much more heat within the combustion chamber. With more heat in the cylinder and combustion chamber, the need arises to get rid of it before it starts to cause detonation of the fuel and/or before it heat soaks into all of the major components, like the heads, the block and the pistons.
An engine gets rid of its heat by transferring heat through the heads, block and pistons into the water jackets and, ultimately, into the radiator. Additionally, much of the heat is dispersed through the exhaust. Consequently, it makes logical sense by introducing something into the engine that will become part of the combustion process and can reduce heat. That "something" is water injected into an engine by an efficient water-injection unit.
Helps Cool & Protect The Tops Of The Pistons And Upper Ring - When it comes to pistons, heat is one the biggest threats. Piston manufactures are constantly working on improving piston coatings to prevent and help minimize the amount of heat transferred from the combustion chamber to the piston. Additionally, OEM manufactures of turbocharged engines are using oil squirters under the pistons of engines as another method to also reduce piston temperatures.
The use of a water methanol injection can also dramatically reduce combustion chamber temperatures as both water and methanol have a high latent heat of vaporization.
Definition of latent heat of vaporization: "latent heat" is the amount of energy in the form of heat released or absorbed by a substance during a phase.
A phase change in our case would be when water methanol changes from a liquid to a gas (steam) when it meets the heat with in the cylinder. As a result, were able to further reduce heat within the combustion chamber, in turn reduce the amount of heat transfer to the tops of the piston. Thereby cooling and protecting the top of the piston and upper ring.
Helps Eliminate And Minimize Detonation - While the released nitrogen acts to buffer and dampen the rapidly increasing cylinder pressure. Unfortunately, nitrous oxide users are still plagued with the constant threat of detonation. As a result of increased added octane, ability to slow down and stabilize the combustion process, slower rise in cylinder pressure and reduced combustion chamber temperatures, water methanol injection helps eliminate and minimize the occurrence of detonation.
Allows Users To Safely Run More Nitrous - As a result of increased added octane, slower rise in cylinder pressure, reduced combustion chamber temperatures. When water methanol injection is combined with nitrous oxide, more nitrous can safely be used, in turn more fuel can be burned, and more power is created more safely and reliably.
Allows The Use Of Little Or No Timing Retard - As a result of water injection effectiveness as an octane enhancer and it's ability to slow down and stabilize the combustion process. By adding a water methanol injection system, nitrous users are able to run little or no ignition timing retard even with large 250 shots.
Improves Engine Safety And Reliability - There is NO better product which can more effectively and economically increase octane, slow down and stabilize the combustion process, reduce cylinder pressure, reduce combustion chamber temperature and minimize and help eliminate detonation of your nitrous engine as a water methanol injection system.
Protect your motor and the investment you have in your motor while increasing horsepower all at the same time with a water methanol injection system.

So on the new ordered list i have, the nitrous system with purge kit, progressive water methane injection, And just ordered a set of 225/50 r13's for the rear with diamond racing 13x8 wheels. Also a set of flares.
I will use snaps for the flares so they can be removed for the normal daily driving tires. Also I aim to address the heavy front end by lowering the rear with the smaller diameter tires. This will also change the ratio on the ground as the tire size difference will be close to 33mm smaller.
The wheel and tires wont be here and installable until about the first of setp as the wheels wont arrive until then.
Then I plan to learn to drive. In a 1800 lb car that can now run 11s.
water/methane injection system with trunk mount tank and a small tank incase the larger one wont mount and hide. The pump is huge, haha
Only waiting on the tires, wheels and flares

Looking good. Again sorry to hear about the bad but keep up with the good. I really hate NOS but at least you have the water meth injection to keep from melting the pistons.
Nitrous is only bad if the pistons are not made for it, and you get detonations or run lean. These pistons are made same as the new ones for nitrous application. Also the power maximum for the block is somewhere around 400 hp. I wont go over 320. Also i have a gauge that tells me the fuel air mixture so I will know it if is running lean or rich, and I can adjust the fuel jet accordingly. As for detonations, well it is a knock sensor engine and will adjust the timing if it detects knock. However that is what the water meth is for, to prevent knock and allow the computer to take advantage of its 100 octane programming.
So with it being a sleeper,,,,,,,,why not nitrous? Since there was not a answer having to do with engine reliability I went and did it. Now my concern is the transmission and rear end. I am on there absolute limit with these upgrades.
if you end up on the track, please post a video,
this looks like this project ended up working out ok, even with the bad, auto shop problems,
hope things work out awsome,
waiting for finish, yippy awsome.
O ****! Together they will combine for around 20 inches of rubber on the ground in the rear.
Don't forget the parachuteOriginally Posted by hill160881
So a small update. Still waiting on the diamond wheels! They had some stocking issues and I hope they get it handled soon.
I ordered a MegaSquirt DIYPNP ECU with blue tooth connection and ignition components to replace the old ones. Soooo......
I plan to install this new list all at once. I have ordered it all and paid for it and am just waiting on the ECU to arrive.
-Megasquirt standalone ECU
-Sniper wet 50 shot nitrous with the second stage of water/meth.
-Acer Iconia windows tablet. To run the tuning software.
-Two stage, three port water/methane injection. One 50 ccm injector prior to the charger and two 90 ccm injectors after the inter cooler. The 50 ccm injector and one 90 ccm injector will run based on boost levels and the other 90 ccm injector, the second stage, will activate only with the nitrous. All 3 injectors have a 230 ccm flow at 150 psi and 320 ccm at 200 psi and full boost with nitrous.
It arrived! I wish I had the cash for a Haltech or a FAST system!!!!
I got the main board of the ECU done but have to wait to get some info from DIY to do the jumpers to match the pin out. I must say the DIYPNP so far is not hard to assemble given the instructions are not so good beyond the basic assembly. None of the abbreviated acronyms for the board functions match the ones toyota used so this is an issue. Also I dont have a clue how to get the SC to fire or how to set the solenoid configured on the board, so.....
How it looks after just the resistors are installed. They come completely bare.
Here is the assembled unit waiting for jumpers and the case. These units come COMPLETELY unassembled. Meaning I had to solder everything. Hope I got good connections.
So very soon it will be a 14psi boosted, nitrous/water/methane breathing monster. MUAHAHAHA
Last edited by hill160881; 09-29-2012 at 09:01 AM.
Standalone computer system all done. About 4 hours of soldering and nail biting. It took its firmware upload and all went well.
Still need to decide which output i want to run the super charger relay and I still need to attach the ignition coils to there respective points on the board.
Woah , the Nitrous System is nice and all but in time that motor will blow. I have seen way to many of my friends imports integra's, honda's, etc,.. whom have had nitrous and all of them have done engine rebuilds numerous times. Trust me you will be popping that thing at every red light when someone challenges you.
Ride it like you stole it but that nitrous is serious, and on such a light car can be dangerous.
This is a myth about nitrous and all blown engine rebuilds as a result are caused by improper tuning or to much nitrous. If they are rebuilding there engine they have there timing advance set to aggressive for the shot they are using, or they are spraying to much.Originally Posted by Tropical Life
This engine is NOTHING like a honda engine. This engine has WAY stronger internals than any honda. If you were to build a engine specifically for nitrous you would use the same ceramic coated forged pistons and forged light weight rods currently in it. It cost $1000 for this engine used and $8000 to build a new one this strong from after-market parts. Also this block is reinforced compared to the N/A version.
Nirous is no different than forced induction. You just spray the oxygen instead of pumping it in. Also the water/meth injection will prevent any damage your honda friends sustain. The second stage of water methane is set to engage with the nitrous. So I have an extra measure of protection most dont have when running nitrous. This engine will see many seasons at the track and many miles as a daily driver.
I have conversed with several and you can run this engine on a 50 shot for three years and over a dozen bottles and it will be fine. This is the strongest engine of its size ever produced. Compleetly stock the internals can handle 21 psi of boost and 400 whp.
This is all assuming I get it tuned right, and dont die. Haha
I have been to several auto cross events and i wasted supercharged 350Zs, STIs, Evos,........ by up to 5 seconds. I am running times with the slower track cars and it is still at 10 psi and no tune. A fast time at our track is in the 60 second range for a street car. I running around 56-59 seconds now. After I add the extra 100 hp and wider rear tires I hope to drop to the low 50s. That is what the really really fast cars run, and not one drives there car to the track like I do. haha
And I am a really bad driver . Not used to something so,,,,,,,,,,,, BRUTAL!

On hondas I seen it like I said before. I cant really say anything on your engine.
Hey on a different note get some videos up when you are at the track running it.
My GoPro died on me the last two times I will borrow a friends next time and get some video for sure!
wow, i've been silently watching this and admiring the job youre doing on it until I saw the MEGASQUIRT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ever done one before? HAVE FUN

Well the $500 price tag and it plugs into the original wiring harness makes it worth a try. I debated this very thing for months and decided it was worth the attempt. The other option is a totally new harness and ECU. This option is WAY more expensive and the only gains are features I dont need. I here nothing burt good things about these units. I dont need a 30 square map. The stock map is 12 square and so is this new system. I spoke to several dyno tuners at shops and they said they have no issues with MS systems. For the final reason I want this to work,,,,,,, Its OPEN SOURCE!Originally Posted by BTAutoMag
Dont get me wrong, I have plenty of issues with the instructions and such but there costumer service techs has answered every question,,,,, even when I got a bit heated.
And lastly there is a guy on the forum dedicated to the 4ag engine that will help me get it all going for a very reasonable price and he likes and works with megasquirt, haltech, FAST, AMS.... He says they all work as good as the other but all have there short comings.
All I need is the ability to do basic performance functions and the ability to switch between maps for the driving type i am doing. This ECU does that and more.
Is there a reason you dont like megasquirt? Because I had a hard time finding bad reviews. Also I am quite good at figuring things out.
Last edited by hill160881; 09-29-2012 at 04:31 PM.
i dont disslike megasquirt... people like it because its open source. but I know alot of people who say "I love megasquirt, car runs great... when it runs"
The bold part has nothing to do with the ECU itself. They either work or they dont. It sounds like wiring issues or really poor tuning. The problem is it is DIY and from my experience few,even those with skills in the DIY area, are any good at at this level of diffuculty. The biggest mistake with MS systems is people think a street tune is good when you NEED to dyno tune it. Even then you need to do a resistance tuning through all the RPM ranges and not all dyno machines can do this function.......Originally Posted by BTAutoMag
DIY projects like this can test the sanity of the most skillful craftsman.
Either way i am hopeful it will work.
well if anyone can do it, hill, youre it
Any updates Tracy?
The car and ECU are getting a tune and some wiring work done right now. I found a local-ish guy on the forums that does tuning as a side job. Better to get the new computer and larger injectors installed prior to the water methane and nitrous.
So soon I should have initial numbers on the setup.
Also I have the race tires mounted and ready to rip.
Ok, so this is absolutely a thread necro... but I couldn't resist. I want to know how the story ends!!! Did you get the car finished up hill?

The Butler men topped the century mark in points for the second time this season with a 107-51 win over Southwestern JV on Wednesday at the Power Plant.
In the early going, it looked as if the game might be even more lopsided than it ended up. The Grizzlies scored the first 23 points of the night and led 31-2 with 10:49 left in the first half after consecutive monster dunks by Trent Richardson.
The Grizzlies eased up a bit defensively as the first half came to a close, but still led 60-26 at the break. The second half was more of the same. Butler broke the 100-point mark on a layup by Eric Watson that made the score 101-45 with 3:52 to play in the game.
Butler had four players in double figures, led by Sean Osler with 18. Eric Watson scored 16, Lamont Pruitt had 15 and Bakari Triggs and Trent Richardson scored 14 points apiece. Watson ended up with a double-double with 10 rebounds.
Butler is now 11-2 on the season. The Grizzlies will play their final game of the first semester on Saturday when they take on No. 21 Northern Oklahoma-Tonkawa (12-1) at 7:30 in the Power Plant.
Butler women shut down Murray State in 81-45 home win
The Butler women continued to roll over non-conference opponents at home, this time beating Murray State (Okla.) by an 81-45 score at the Power Plant on Wednesday.
Butler started slowly, leading just 12-7 in the early going. The Grizzlies would turn up the defensive pressure, however, leading to an 8-0 run. Butler would go into the half leading 34-16, holding the Aggies to just seven made field goals in the first half.
Butler continued to pull away in the second half. A pair of free throws by Samantha Satterlee put Butler up 39-18 with 17:42 to play and the lead topped 30 points when a Jamillah Bonner layup made the score 50-19 with 14:15 to go in the game.
Bonner led Butler in scoring with 26 points, equaling her season high scored in a home win over Cowley County on Nov. 3. For the second time this week, she just missed a double-double with nine rebounds. Ashlee Ivy scored 13 and Samantha Satterlee scored 12 points.
The Grizzlies are now 10-2 on the season. Butler will continue its homestand with a game Saturday against Northern Oklahoma-Tonkawa in the Power Plant. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
Bonner signs to join Wichita State
Butler women's basketball player Jamillah Bonner came into the 2012-13 season being looked at as one of the top players in the Jayhawk conference and the NJCAA. Bonner was rewarded by signing a national letter of intent to play at Wichita State University for the 2013-14 season.
Bonner said the reason she chose Wichita State is "their style of play suits me perfectly" and "I wanted to stay close to home."
Before she chose to play for Butler coach Mike Helmer and the Grizzlies, Bonner played at Wichita Southeast High School where she was selected to the All-City League team three times.
Last season she finished second in the Region VI in scoring and finished in the top 10 in several other categories. She was also selected to the Jayhawk West All-Conference team and was named to the second team All-Region VI. This season she is currently second in the region in scoring with 20.6 points per game.
"I am proud of Jamillah and the opportunity she has," Helmer said. "She works hard and she deserves this chance."
On goshockers.com Wichita State head coach Jody Adams expressed her excitement by saying, "I believe she is a program-changer in how she plays and the tempo at which she plays. I've never, in the past few years, seen anyone play on both sides of the ball and leave it out there every possession like she does. In doing that in our system she could be the most decorated junior college player to leave Wichita State in two years. She has phenomenal speed and leaping ability. She is a fighter and has an edge."
Butler men top century mark, better last season's win total
The Butler men topped the century mark in points for the second time this season with a 107-51 win over Southwestern JV on Wednesday at the Power Plant.

Indomitable Spirit Symbolizes Humms Honor
Randy York's N-Sider
The Official Blog of the Huskers
Jerry Murtaugh recently spoke at John Melton's funeral. The next day, the founder/leader of the Husker Greats Foundation and his wife, Connie, flew to Las Vegas to join nearly 200 former Husker players, coaches, spouses and fans at an event to honor Dave Humm, who was, is and always will be Melton's most compelling individual recruiting success story.
"Did I feel the irony? Boy did I ever!" said Murtaugh, who watched former Husker kicker/teammate Rich Sanger and Las Vegas radio executive Tom Humm, Dave's brother, present a Nebraska Blackshirt jersey last Sunday night to "The Hummer". An honorary defensive jersey to an offensive player may be unprecedented in Nebraska's storied football history that traces its Blackshirt roots to Bob Devaney's third season in 1964. Humm, of course, was an All-America quarterback in 1974, not to mention Tom Osborne's first starting quarterback. He has battled Multiple Sclerosis for nearly 25 years.
A month before Melton died, the longtime linebacker coach told me that "Hummer has gone through more in 24 hours than any of the rest of us has gone through in 24 years. Dave Humm deserves that honorary Blackshirt because he's tougher than any Blackshirt has ever had to be. Everything is great to him. I talk to him all the time, and if you didn't know he had MS, you wouldn't even know he was sick."
First-Ever Recipient from Husker Greats
Well, we know this. Humm's Blackshirt symbolizes his indomitable spirit – a life-force so tenacious that he steadfastly refused help, even when he desperately needed it. Somehow, David Max, Murtaugh and Osborne helped convince Humm to become the first-ever recipient of the Husker Greats Foundation, a non-profit 501c3 organization that was created to provide medical and emergency assistance to former Nebraska male and female student-athletes who lettered in their sport.
"It was very rewarding to see the joy Hummer felt when everyone gathered in his honor for a banquet and golf event that netted $74,000 for our foundation," Murtaugh said. "Dave is such a proud man who thinks about everyone but himself. He's like Lou Gehrig. He feels like the luckiest man on the face of the earth, so it was hard to get him to let us help him. He wants to give, not take, and what he gave this past weekend will help others benefit from our foundation."
In Vegas, Hummer was surrounded by his family, including his brother, his sisters and his daughter, Courtney, a major force in daily support that also includes Claudette Rullo, his in-home nurse over the past two years. "We all have families, but we're also part of another family – the Husker family," Murtaugh said. "Richie Sanger lives in Colorado, but he's the one who came up with the idea to give Hummer a Blackshirt two months ago. He did all the work to make this a resounding success. It's just amazing what the Husker family can do for others when we have a plan and execute it, just like we were taught to do in football."
Hummer Amazed, Happy, Proud, Speechless
"Hummer was totally amazed, happy, proud and speechless at first," Murtaugh said. "Then, he couldn't stop talking." Discussions gravitationally connected to Melton, who spent countless days in Vegas tracking the recruiting radar of Humm, who even drew Bear Bryant and Joe Namath on a simultaneous visit to lure the Las Vegas Bishop O'Gorman superstar to Alabama.
"The presence of John Melton was definitely felt in Vegas, just like it was felt in Lincoln a few days before," Murtaugh said. "Whenever we had time to sit down and talk, we discussed Dave's relationship with John. Every time they'd talk on the phone, they'd end their conversation the same way. Coach Melton would tell Hummer he loved him, and Hummer would tell John the same thing."
Love is at the core of the Husker Greats Foundation, an organization that wants to be more action-oriented, especially now that it has covered its legal bases. "This foundation goes beyond football," Murtaugh said. "We've come full circle to provide financial assistance, emotional support and the kind of care that's necessary to get Husker athletes on the road to recovery and a chance at a better life."
Wanted: Husker Athletes in Genuine Need
Murtaugh stressed the foundation he heads wants to help all Husker student-athletes in need…men or women and regardless of sport. "Every athlete that has earned that letter 'N' is a part of the Husker family," Murtaugh said. "Family takes care of family. Throw your pride aside and come to your brothers and sisters for help. We're going to be there for you. All you need to do is ask."
Murtaugh couldn't help but mention how Melton and his widow, Margie, donated to the Husker Greats Foundation to help any Husker letter-winner in need. Because of his own close relationship with Melton, Murtaugh and co-host Gary Java have decided to make Saturday's 9 to 10 a.m. Legends Radio Show on Omaha AM590 ESPN a memorial dedication to John Melton.
"Mike Knox and Marc Munford are Blackshirt linebackers who will be in studio with us in Omaha," Murtaugh said. "We'll also have interviews with four other linebackers who played for Coach Melton – Barry Alvarez, Steve Damkroger, Clete Pillen and Dave Morock. A lot of people are looking forward to listening to this show, so we're going stream it live all across the country." The program should be an interesting mix of funny stories, tall tales, poignant memories and decidedly differing descriptions of how a legendary linebacker coach and a legendary quarterback became such great friends, on and off the field.

SPEED Rules Friday's NASCAR TV
Just set it and forget it. SPEED rules the NASCAR TV on Friday from noon ET through 8PM. The network will handle all the on-track activity at MIS.
The dynamic trio for SPEED will be Steve Byrnes, Jeff Hammond and Larry McReynolds. These three have been friends for a very long time and their comfort level with each other translates quite well to TV.
Bob Dillner and Wendy Venturini will be doing a lot of walking as they spend seven hours tracking down the Sprint Cup and Nationwide stories from the garage area. Venturini continues to grow her fan base while Dillner is usually the last man out of the garage area after he provides updates for Sunday night's SPEED Report.
Noon begins the TV day with Sprint Cup Series practice while the Nationwide Series gets on the track next at 1:30PM. There are a lot of Cup drivers who will be jogging to the Nationwide Series garage while doing double duty this weekend.
3:30PM brings live qualifying for the Cup guys and on the big track at MIS, this is perhaps not the most exciting TV programming. Luckily, McReynolds usually has more than enough details and tidbits on each team to help NASCAR fans pass the time on the air.
The on-track action is capped at 5PM when the Nationwide Series returns for the late practice session. This could be a very interesting practice with lots of rubber down on the track and cooler temps making for some memorable speed and action.
Trackside ends the night for SPEED. Byrnes, McReynolds, Hammond and Elliott Sadler will welcome guests Joey Logano and Justin Allgaier. Kasey Kahne may also possibly be stopping by to say hello. This is always a fast-paced hour but SPEED is still having problems dealing with the rowdy crowds during the interview segments. Really tough to hear what is going on sometimes, an issue SPEED will no doubt have to address for next season.
ESPN2 makes its only Friday contribution with NASCAR Now at 9PM. This show is on the air later than normal due to live tennis. Mike Massaro is the host for this program that will recap the MIS action and preview the Nationwide race on Saturday.
This post will host your comments as we go through the NASCAR TV Friday. It should be fun to watch SPEED cover MIS exclusively. The weather looks good and there are some great stories developing both on and off the track for the network to cover.

I love listening to the conversations on SPEED. I also think they get some of the best driver interviews of anyone. They truly communicate their love of racing and of NASCAR. My kind of folks!

I'd bet money the first thing out of someone's mouth in 15 min will be, "NO RAIN in the forecast!" YEAH!! I still like SPEED's coverage best, they feel more like hanging out at the track with a bunch of friends than media- and get great interviews. Yeah it can get a bit silly at times but Wendy V is just fab, and I really like JR and the Sadlers.

Hooray for Speed doing the Friday stuff, for NO rain in the forecast and the racers having fun talking to the Speed folks.
Much better than the network who shall remain nameless and unmissed until later this weekend.

I can't believe the lack of knowledge about the NW series that the crew in the booth has. "I just saw that the 96 is fielded by Bob K. Brian sometimes drives it." Really? Anyone who follows the NW series knows that. Those that follow the NW series weren't surprised to see Bliss in the 87.
And Larry Mac, you don't have to start every fact with "Actually."

I wonder if NASCAR would be father ahead if they simply had a deal with Speed/Fox to do all of the broadcasts. Even if they didn't get as much money from the deal, I have to think that it would still be better in the long run. I know, I know, FOX has the NFL, but what if those conflicts were resolved by moving the race to SPEED or more SUN night races? Maybe Speed isn't in as many households as ESPN, but I would be willing to bet they would get comparable ratings. As others have noted today and in the past, there is a definite comfort level between the drivers and the Speed/Fox reporters.
I don't have the stats to prove or disprove my theory. This is just the opinion of a race fan.

Ohhhhh. I was gonna say....
Thanks Gymmie for setting me straight!
Still wow'ed by that Bliss interview. They need to find Marc Reno and ask him whats up since he pretty much runs things down at Phoenix Racing

the only S&P car I didn't mind seeing last week was the 90. Whatever points Bliss can hang onto, I don't blame him.
BTW, JC Stout is running a family team with no sponsor...all his friends and family are crew and he just tries to make enough money to get to the next race (he's not S&P). That's who I feel bad for with these S&P teams making the race.

No way.
Fox would have paid for the rights to put Cup races on SPEED if they thought they could make the money back, and if NASCAR would have gone for the deal.
A race on SPEED will not draw what a race on ESPN will draw, period. ESPN is a basic-tier channel. SPEED isn't.

The best thing about SPEED showing practice and qual is that they rerun them later for those of us who have to work.
SPEED should have the rights to these shows all the time. I'm sure that the drivers prefer the SPEED crew over BSPNs.

That's not what determines who carries the coverage, however.
If Fox spent the money to buy all the rights, they could carry all the practices/qualifying, etc.

Maybe I should have clarified my comment by saying the pit reporting crew that the drivers prefer over the "feelings" BSPN crew.

What a great enjoyable day at the racetrack. Thanks Speed

just remember that the reason they can rerun them is because they don't have a ton of programming. Well, they could show Pinks or Wrecked...but I don't think their ratings are probably that great for either (compared to ESPN.)
but no, in ESPN's defense this time, I have to say, carrying other original sporting events is more important that rerunning Q. That said, I do find it convenient, and they cover it well.

Many small business owners don't see themselves as entrepreneurs, but If they are to grow and develop their businesses, they need to think and at times act as entrepreneurs.
When a small business owner opens themselves up to considering themselves as being entrepreneurial, they also open the doors to taking on advice aimed at entrepreneurs, advice they may previously have ignored.
This excellent article, written by an experienced successful entrepreneur, offers 17 tips any small business owner can take on board and apply to help their business to grow successfully.

many good tips in there, but for me
are the ones that usually require more "work"
Tania Tytherleigh's curator insight, April 30, 2014 6:21 PM
I'm often being asked "how do I learn to think more strategically?'. Some great tips in this article.

(This one is a gem) 7. Set aside time for forward thinking
My never-ending daily task list can distract me from putting focus on forward thinking. I know I need to dedicate at least one day each month to planning ahead. By simply scheduling this personal appointment for yourself, you'll be impressed with how many new ideas you can create. Try setting up time during this specified day to meet with your team or others outside of your team to brainstorm even greater ideas for both the short and long-term.

Out of all these Tips I think the last one is the most important.
Set aside Time for Forward Thinking
This is often the biggest challenge people have, finding time to break out of the routine, be innovative, creative and forward thinking.

Stephen Dale I've been following Dion Hinchcliffe for many years as well. You're fortunate to have met him in London. You bring up a very good point about monitoring our every move. As you say, there is a price we will pay one way or another for privacy and time will tell how this will all shake out in the end. I'd love to connect with you again, it's been a while. As you can see I launched Curatti and we've been very well received. Hope things are going well with you, let's catch up soon.

Sound good Jan. I have been following Curatti since you launched - it's one of my top sources for news/content. Think we should arrange a Skype call sometime - unless you plan to visit London, in which case lunch is on me!

Business owners are often short of the funds needed to engage PR specialists, but still need to get the word out to the wider world, that they are open for business and have a product or service that customers need.
Certainly there are traps galore for novices, but with some guidance and a few smart rules to follow, most business owners can make a good fist of promoting their business to the media.
This excellent article, is aimed at the small business owner wanting to have a go at promoting their own business, and it offers good advice on how to proceed without making too many mistakes when doing so.

Temporary work called the new normal for many in NHBy BARBARA TAORMINA
Special to the Union Leader
February 18. 2013 9:38PM
Temporary work is now being described as the "new normal" by a wide range of workforce analysts who have plenty of numbers to back up the claim.
Sheri Merrill, manager of the Portsmouth office of Bonney Staffing, said she would be happy to share her take on the trends with temporary employment in New Hampshire, but it was around 3 p.m. on Wednesday and she had just talked with a client who needed 10 workers - by Friday.
New Hampshire's unemployment rate rose from 4.9 to 5.6 percent during 2012, and while that's still well below the national rate of 7.8 percent, it still represents more than 41,000 people. But business is great at Bonney and other staffing agencies where Merrill and fellow employment specialists are finding temporary jobs for people in manufacturing, management, office administration, purchasing, information technology and many other career fields.
"Our busy season usually starts around March, but this year has been different," said Merrill, whose list of business clients starts at the Seacoast and runs west to Wolfeboro, Concord and Manchester.
According to the American Staffing Association, 12.9 million people are hired by staffing agencies each year; on any given workday, about 2.8 million people punch in to temporary jobs.
But the statistic that may be the strongest jolt for people who view job security as part of their personal career plan comes from a 2012 Economic Intelligence Unit Study that predicts by 2030, about half of all working Americans will be part of a contingency workforce made up of entrepreneurs, self-employed contractors, freelancers and temporary workers.
Merrill said European countries are shifting to a contingency workforce and the current U.S. trend of hiring temporary workers could be the start of a similar change. But she and other staffing agency managers and owners also say the 2008 recession and the fickle recovery are fueling the demand for temp workers.
The staffing industry
Tracy Madden was a human resources manager for Seabrook Station until downsizing at the power plant left her without a job. She went to a staffing agency for some help finding something new and realized quickly that the differences between staffing and human resources are slim.
So Madden launched McIntosh Staffing Resources in Dover in 1986, and has been channeling talented temporary and full-time workers to local businesses ever since. While the staffing industry has seen some tough stretches over the years, she said agencies have rebounded and are doing well.
Madden feels the sense of uncertainty about what's ahead has businesses opting for temporary workers rather than full-time employees.
"The economy is perceived, by some, as weak, and that perception creates managers who are gun-shy about hiring," she said.
Companies that work on a contract or project basis have seen contracts dissolve, and maintaining a full staff becomes difficult and costly.
"The other issue is health care reform," said Madden. "Companies that hire temporary workers don't have to get involved with the costs."
Madden also sees companies streamlining their workforce and cutting down from 12 or 13 employees to eight or nine people who still get the job done.
"They are looking for people to fill hybrid positions," said Madden. "They are looking for people who can do anything in a particular business setting."
Myths, misconceptions
Businesses that rely on staffing agencies for temporary workers are spared the costs of health care and other benefits. But that doesn't always mean temp workers have no sick days or insurance.
Staffing agencies consider temporary workers as employees and many offer some benefits.
"We do provide certain benefits for employees who have been with us for one year," said Nicole Horan, a business manager at Squires Staffing Services in Nashua. "We have a 401k plan and paid holidays and sick days."
And some staffing agencies also help temp employees access limited health care insurance.
"It's not meant to mirror what you would get with a full-time position, but it does give you the opportunity to access basic care," said Merrill.
No fees charged
But staffing specialists say one of the biggest misconceptions about temp work is that agencies charge fees and shave off a significant part of a worker's salary for their services.
"There are no fees and clients pay market rates for temporary work,' said Horan. "It depends on the job responsibilities and skills."
Staffing agencies which need to cover liabilities, taxes, worker's compensation and the cost of running their offices compete with one another on how much they mark up the cost of placing workers with businesses.
Horan said one thing temporary employees don't often get is the opportunity for on-the-job training. While there may be some flexibility with training for temp-to-hire jobs, positions that are meant to evolve into permanent jobs, business expect temporary workers to have certain skills.
"They are calling us because they don't have the time to train," said Horan.
And that's been a problem in manufacturing, one of the hottest sectors of the economy for staffing agencies.
"Manufacturing is seeing a shortage of qualified workers," said Horan. "There's a huge need for CNC, (computer numerical control) machinists."
Jobs that fit
Like other staffing managers, Merrill spends a lot of time networking with business leaders, talking about their concerns and changing needs. And when she's not talking with employers, she's usually talking with workers about their professional experiences and aspirations.
She then sits down with co-worker Jasmin Curtis and puts the pieces of the puzzle together.
"I like trying to identify a candidate's ideal position and then going through the list of available jobs to see what fits," said Curtis.
A lot of staffing professionals avoid the term temp worker.
"People who apply are our applicants, those we are placing are candidates and those in jobs are our employees," said Merrill, who sees her role as an off-site supervisor for temporary workers.
And applicants, candidates and employees come from many different backgrounds.
"We have people who have been laid off but are looking for temporary work to keep their skills sharp," said Horan.
Staff agencies also see retirees, part-time workers and people who have jobs but want to tap into new opportunities.
Merrill and Curtis consider themselves advocates, and sometime cheerleaders, for temporary workers. And there's plenty of high-fiving and satisfaction when people are hired for temporary jobs and even more celebrating when their employees are offered full-time positions.
Madden said those are the best moments for people in staffing, especially for local agencies with community roots and connections.
"The most rewarding part of the job is the ability to change the chapters of people's lives," she said.

G109: Mariners 7, Red Sox 4
Timlin came into a 4-4 tie game in the sixth. After a Julio Lugo error put a runner on first, Timlin committed a throwing error on a pickoff attempt, then threw wild to third base on a bunt. A grounder to second brought in the go-ahead run. An intentional walk and a single to right loaded the bases before Timlin escaped further trouble thanks to an unassisted double play from Lugo.
After 19 pitches in the 6th, Timlin was back out on the hill for the seventh. He gave up a single to left, and after getting one out, surrendered a long home run to Kenji Johjima that gave Seattle a 7-4 lead. Francona had doused himself with gasoline and struck a match -- it was no surprise he got burned.
The Red Sox hitters could do nothing in five innings against the Mariners bullpen.
Jon Lester (4.26, 106 ERA+) / Horacio Ramirez (6.52, 65 ERA+)
Lefty Ramirez has allowed 80 hits and 24 walks in only 58 innings this season. Mike Lowell is 9-for-18 against him. Lester makes his 3rd start of the season.
Seattle is 59-47, 3.5 GB the Angels and 1 GB Cleveland for the wild card. ... The Yankees (3 GB for the WC) host the Royals at 7 PM.

As ugly as Ramirez's numbers look, He is 6 and 0 at Safeco with a very good 2.63 ERA and is averaging 6.28 innings per start with a WHIP of 1.30. That works out to 13.72 on the road ERA. ouch.
As for helping out the Yankees, that is what we do for the next six games. I just hope KC comes in and does something against the MFY's.

Fellow Joy Posters,
I'm glad to still be posting here, as on Thursday night, my life resembled a Timlin bullpen outing.
While driving home around 1am with a friend, I got into a horrific car accident. I was driving down a back road, approaching a T-intersection when lightning struck a hydro pole in front of me, causing a big explosion. I was startled and basically got distracted by this for a few seconds when I looked up and realized i was driving like 70 (km/h) into the intersection. I slammed on the brakes but it was too late, as my car flew into the ditch, nearly missing said hydro pole by about 1 foot. On the way down I smashed through the guide wire for the hydro pole. It broke and flew back up and whipped against the transformer, causing more sparks/explosions. I ended up smashing into a few trees and came to a stop.
We asked each other if we were alright; there was broken glass from the passenger window breaking. I chipped two teeth upon impact, and my friend had some small cuts on his face from the window breaking. The car is a write-off, however we're amazingly lucky that our lives aren't.
I'm going to the hospital for further tests now, and just to make sure everything is alright.
Watched the game last night to get my mind off things, but couldn't post here without letting everyone know that I almost had made my final post on Joy...
This is one of those life-altering events for me - it's time to smarten up and be more careful...
Anyways, looking forward to tonight's game. I love west coast games because of the late start time. Let's just hope that the space needle falls into Mike Timlin's pitching arm.
- August 4, 2007 at 12:05 PM
- redsock said...
Damn. Glad to hear you guys are okay.
However, Timlin's outing did not turn out okay, so there's clearly a difference here. Perhaps your car is Timlin's arm?
Even after the leadoff single, Tito left Timlin in. Then a K and the blast. Naturally, MDC comes in and blows the two hitters away on strikes. Like he should have done to start the inning.
So many people have said it: Tito will keep using Timlin like he's a consistently valuable reliever until he is cut from the team.
- August 4, 2007 at 12:17 PM
- redsock said...
How many games Tito/Timlin will cost us until White Flag is gone -- that's the question.

Every time I see Timlin come into a game when every body knows it should be MDC I think back to 2005. Coming down the stretch with the Sox and MFY's changing places every day in the standings, Francona kept on playing Millar while Olerud was sitting on the bench. If Francona, had played Olerud down the stretch there is no doubt in my mind that instead of the Sox and MFY ending in a tie, the Sox would have won the division. Francona is too loyal to the old timers sometimes and it makes me want to gnash my teeth.
Tim - glad you are still around.

Best sensible answer. Everyone else are just a bunch of low life haters. Why won't they say Nigeria is a nation of sad people, the way some people carry on on blogs proves it. Sad frustrated evil peopleDelete

i hate Kim K,even if she wore it better, so my vote goes to SylviaReplyDelete

Kim K has got the hourglass figure to bring out the beauty! The other is spiliing out everywhere.. Not classy on Sylvia at all! It's so not about the price tag. 500k would have got Sylvia a better soothing and flattering dress. This is what happens when people try to copy celebrities.ReplyDelete

If Sylvia's dress was an original, Gucci would have stripped it off her and returned her money to her.ReplyDelete
But hey, hers is a poor copy and she made a mess of it.

Sylvia, see Kim. Have you seen how to rock your cleavage in a subtle way? Not the razz way you just lifted the boobs out of the dress.ReplyDelete

lol, ladun get your info right, how can Sylvia afford 500k dress at this stage? do you want her to go back to her village.ReplyDelete
The instagram were you copied this picture from she indicated that the dress is by her friend Rikato.... I think she just copies high end dresses i've seen a few of her dresses and they are lovely... this one in't bad either
