The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 17, No. 1 June 1990
Baladouni UNIVERSITY OF NEW ORLEANS
Abstract: A recent investigation into the archives of the English East India Company has produced the earliest known classified balance of accounts. Dated May 1, 1782, this statement predates the model balance sheet prescribed by the Companies Act of 1856 by some seventy-five years. This classified balance of accounts, together with extensive supplementary notes accompanying it, may be said to represent the earliest manifestation of financial reporting.
The history of the British balance sheet1 may be divided into two dominant periods: modern and premodern. What marks the beginning of the modern period is the model balance sheet prescribed by the Companies Act of 1856 [Edey and Panitpakdi, 1956]. This statutory model formally introduced the notion of balance sheet classification which has since served as a general guide in the preparation of the statement. In contrast to the modern period, the premodern period is characterized by an absence of balance sheet classification [Chatfield, pp. 68-72]. During this period, the balance sheet, known as balance of accounts, was prepared in unclassified form. It simply listed the company's assets and liabilities in account form and with no apparent order of succession. Included in the liabilities was the stockholders' investment. The difference between the total as-sets and total liabilities was shown as a balancing figure "in

Please note this is part of documentation I wrote for the opensource feather web framework currently available on GitHub. You can find the document in its original form here: https://github.com/maddogawl/feather/blob/master/featherdoc/docs/state%20machines.md
feather Finite State Machines
Finite State Machines (FSM) are well understood in computer science, and as such they won't be covered much here. There are some really good articles online that you can check out to read more in depth analysis on FSM's.
Links to some good articles
In the simplest definition a FSM is a set of states and transitions. A FSM can only be in one state a time, thus allowing you to easily build state driven applications like Rich Internet Applications. In more complex systems that utilize state machines you will begin to see hierarchical state machines, and states that have their own state machines.
In general Finite State Machines are a tool that simplifies common problems including UI management and async flow.
Benefits of State Machines
An application could easily be created without utilizing FSM's, but there are some clear advantages to using them.
– Flexibility : Code can easily be tweaked and extended with proper use of state machines.
– Debugging : Code that is isolated in small testable states makes it much easier to track down defects in the software.
– Simplicity : Its human nature to think of things in terms of states. It is generally simple to break down parts of software in terms of states.

Noted author and lecturer is co-chairman of Lincoln Bicentennial Commission
Harold Holzer, a prolific writer and lecturer and one of the nation's leading authorities on the Civil War era, will deliver the second annual "Heroes of History Lecture" on Oct. 18 at historic Ford's Theatre in Washington, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) announced today.
Holzer, whose latest book is Lincoln at Cooper Union: The Speech that Made Abraham Lincoln President (2004), will speak on "Abraham Lincoln, American Hero."
"The story of America is the story of heroic individuals--common men and women who perform uncommon deeds. American heroes defend freedom, advance liberty, and dare to do great things," said NEH Chairman Bruce Cole. "The Heroes of History lecture explores the stories of these courageous Americans by providing new insights into their lives, their decisions, and the consequences of their actions. Harold Holzer, a prolific author and respected scholar, will take us on a journey to rediscover the plain-spoken heroism of one such figure, President Abraham Lincoln."
The Heroes of History lecture is part of the Endowment's We the People initiative designed to strengthen the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture. The lecture is an annual event and carries a $10,000 honorarium. Holzer currently serves as co-chairman of the United States Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, established by Congress in 2000 to study, plan, and recommend to Congress the most appropriate government activities to honor the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth in 2009. An authority on Lincoln and the Civil War, Holzer has authored, co-authored, and edited 23 books. He also has written more than 350 articles for both popular magazines and scholarly journals. Holzer makes frequent guest appearances on television and lectures before Civil War and Lincoln groups throughout the country.
Among his many honors are the Barondess Award of the Civil War Round Table of New York (1984, 1990, 1993), the Diploma of Honor from Lincoln Memorial University (1988), the Award of Achievement from the Lincoln Group of New York (1988 and 1993), a 1988 George Washington Medal from the Freedom Foundation, a 1980 Writer of Distinction Award from the International Reading Association, and a 1993 Award of Superior Achievement from the Illinois State Historical Society. In 2002 Holzer received the coveted Nevins-Freeman Award of the Civil War Round Table of Chicago. In 1996 he won the first annual award from the Manuscript Society of America for his use of original manuscripts in his book, Dear Mr. Lincoln: Letters to the President (1993). In 1992 Lincoln College awarded Holzer an honorary doctorate in humane letters.
Educated at the City University of New York, Holzer began his career as a newspaper editor for The Manhattan Tribune. He also has been a political campaign press secretary for Congresswoman Bella S. Abzug and Governor Mario M. Cuomo, a government speechwriter for New York City Mayor Abraham D. Beame, and public affairs director for the PBS flagship station WNET. Holzer currently serves as vice president for communications and marketing at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
The Oct. 18 event also will include the awarding of medals to six high school juniors for their essays in the "Idea of America Essay Contest." Entrants in this year's contest were asked to respond to the question, "How does the Gettysburg Address reflect America's founding ideas, and what is the relevance of the speech today?" The author of the winning essay will receive a grand prize of $5,000; five other finalists each will receive $1,000. Winners will be announced in the coming weeks. Admission to the 2004 Heroes of History Lecture is free to ticketed guests. To request tickets, please visit the NEH Web site at www.neh.gov no later than Oct. 8, 2004.
Created in 1965 as an independent federal agency, the National Endowment for the Humanities supports learning in history, literature, philosophy and other areas of the humanities.

The Northside ISD Board of Trustees is committed to openness and candor in the conduct of its business and encourages patron participation.
Northside Trustees meet monthly in regular meetings on the fourth Tuesday of the month. They may also meet in called meetings for workshops, retreats or to handle routine business. Meetings are held at 7 p.m. at the Board Room at 5900 Evers Road unless otherwise posted. Meetings are open to the public. Citizens who wish to address the Board may do so by signing up to speak, just prior to the beginning of the meeting. All meetings are posted as required by law. Agendas are also faxed to area news media and posted on the NISD web site the Friday prior to Board meetings.
Provision is made for citizens to speak to agenda items as they are being considered by the Board for action. In addition, a "Citizens to be Heard" time is allotted at each regular meeting for citizens who wish to address items not on the agenda. The Texas Open Meetings Law prohibits the Board from taking action on any item not on the official agenda. Citizens wishing to speak to the Board must register prior to the start of the meeting. Three minutes per person are allowed for presentations. Written statements may also be provided. The time limit is necessary to provide citizens an opportunity to give input while allowing adequate time for Board business.
Within the limits of the Texas Open Meetings Law, parts of the Board meeting may be closed to the public (Closed Session) so the Board may consider real estate transactions, personnel matters, student hearings and other legal matters. All actions on items considered during Closed Sessions must be acted upon when they reconvene in open meeting. A majority of the Board constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.

A propane delivery man who was nearly bludgeoned to death by a mentally ill man with a wrench is suing his attacker.
Mike Kuligoski was attacked in 2011 by 23-year-old Evan Rapoza while working on a furnace in a St. Johnsbury apartment building. Charges against Rapoza were dropped after he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and sent to a state mental health hospital.
The Caledonian Record reports that Kuligoski has filed a suit against Rapoza and his parents seeking damages. The suit claims that Rapoza's parents knew their son was dangerous when he came to work with his father at the apartment house and failed to warn or protect Kuligoski.
The suit says Kuligoski can never work again and will require medical attention the rest of his life.

No matter what your position in the company you work for, there is always a lot you can learn from a personal assistant. Their roles put them in the thick of most functions of any company without making them full participants and this allows them a unique perspective on all operations most employees will never see; they are able to observe more than most would. There are courses for a personal assistant to learn the tips and tricks of the trade but most of the more efficient and effective tricks will only be picked up naturally over the course of a career. Let's look at some nuggets of wisdom that go with the job description of personal assistant but that anyone can use themselves to better their career.
Create a Personal System
The first thing a personal assistant will do for their duties is create a system or routine that they cover every morning in their responsibilities. It usually includes checking e-mails, menial daily chores, any responsibility they might have to undertake daily gets filed into a system of operation for a personal assistant. Regardless of salary or position, each of us undertakes to complete some daily task in our careers and creating a system for ourselves and sticking to it creates routine which in turn makes us more efficient from day to day.
Write it All Down
Having good handwriting is one of the qualifications essential to being a good personal assistant because they find themselves writing virtually everything down. This is a good philosophy for anyone in any position to follow; the information age is so drowned in information that not writing down the important notes threatens to see that information become background noise we cannot grasp. If you get an idea brilliant enough to never forget, ignore your instinct and write it down; same for dates, meetings and telephone numbers.
Finish Tasks Once
One amazing thing personal assistants learn in their careers is the work ethic of only ever having to go over something once. By that, it means a system that has been tried and tested is extensively used by most personal assistants and that is only ever looking at a document once. You see a bill, you observe it, address it and then file it but never half-half it by looking at it, putting it down and coming back to it later; you open yourself up to losing it and never addressing it at all later on. We can apply this to any task in our lives to make it easier; pack those groceries away immediately, do the dishes as soon as they need to be done or hang up your laundry immediately after a wash – these examples make life easier. A personal assistant is someone we can all learn a lot from to make life easier, after all their perspective is one of both observer and participant.

"Martina and I have always had similar ideas about design and aesthetics," Amanda Toles says of Martina Sencakova, with whom she collaborated on a thesis project for her BFA Interior Design degree. Martina agrees, adding, "Working on this project with Amanda was a memorable experience that allowed me to see the potential of an effective teamwork."
Sencakova and Toles redesigned The New School's building at 25 East 13th Street applying principles of sustainability. "Our focus was on increasing natural light and ventilation. We did so by 'carving' two light wells into the building that could change depending on weather conditions. In moderate weather, the interior skin of the space would open, allowing complete natural airflow, while in winter the space acts as a buffer between exterior and interior conditions. The spaces also brought natural light deep into the building through reflective surfaces."Although both students describe the curriculum as "intense," they would not trade their experience at Parsons for any other. Sencakova says, "You learn so much more than technical skills. You become more responsible, organized, and willing to go beyond the expected. And because of the small classes, the relationships you establish are truly one of a kind." Toles adds, "The workload is intense, but if you manage your time, it is completely doable. I learned how to think through a problem, apply myself creatively, and work efficiently." Today, Toles works in marketing for a New York City retail and hospitality architectural design practice with clients and projects worldwide. Sencakova works as a 3D designer at an international exhibition display firm based in New Jersey and teaches interior design skills to high school students at Parsons' Pre-College Academy.

Spending some time recently listening to "classical" music in unconventional venues far from Copley Symphony Hall and Sherwood Auditorium generated some random thoughts about a fledgling alternative music scene in San Diego. Here are a few:
• Who are these people? At Art of Élan's foray into The Glashaus earlier this month, the audience that jammed the Barrio Logan warehouse/gallery/studio space was a remarkable assemblage of hipsters, musicians, artists, arts patrons, old money and no money. With the mixture of music (aided by the band Heavy Guilt) and art (much of it from Device Gallery, the venue's anchor), it felt urban, hip and happening. Clearly, Art of Élan co-directors, San Diego Symphony members Kate Hatmaker and Demarre McGill, are onto something.
• What do we call it? Of course Art of Élan plays classical music, but maybe it's time to re-brand. Composers Marc Mellits, Javier Alvarez, Steve Reich, David Lang and Steven Mackey couldn't be more serious (Mackey, who teaches at Princeton, won an award last week from the American Academy of Arts and Letters). Still, no matter how wrongheaded, conventional wisdom still dictates most people would rather visit a proctologist than listen to late 20th century and 21st century "classical" music.
Of course, if this music was for most people, this event would have been held at the San Diego Sports Arena, and the Grammys would have devoted a portion of their telecast to a Steve Reich retrospective. Nevertheless, especially when performed in an industrial, urban-oriented venue like The Glashaus, this music's powerful connection to its time and place is inescapable.
We all believe in the continuing relevance of Beethoven and the potentially transformative power inherent in great music, as in great art or great literature, but Reich, Lang, Mackey and countless others are our Beethovens, our Brahms. Or maybe they are our Louis Sphors or Johann Joseph Aberts. Who knows? But "classical" music doesn't really describe their aspirations or what they do. We need a new name.
• Where did those musicians come from? McGill and Hatmaker often perform on their series, which typically resides at another alternative music venue, the San Diego Museum of Art (next up, "Echo" on March 8). But neither played on this concert, and some of their other symphony colleagues could be seen at the venue helping out with odd jobs like taking tickets and managing the line.
Some symphony players had their instruments, including percussionist Greg Cohen and violinist Jeff Zehngut (talk about the hardest-working man in show business; Zehngut is in evidence at the symphony, Orchestra Nova, Luscious Noise — seemingly anytime a couple people pick up a few instruments, he's in). Most of the musicians were friends and associates, like the local, Grammy-nominated (and not in the classical categories) keyboardist Geoffrey Keezer, guitarist Colin McAllister (more associated with UCSD) and L.A. cellist Lars Hoefs. It was like an instant music festival.
• Don't I know you from somewhere? If Hatmaker looked familiar, maybe it was because she performed on the last Luscious Noise concert at Anthology, symphony violinist John Stubbs' welcome experiment in music, multimedia and multidisciplinary programming (next performance, March 20).
Also evident in The Glashaus crowd was Bonnie Wright, whose Fresh Sound presentations were the original music-in-alternative-spaces series in San Diego. After moving to Sushi downtown, her series has found a new home at UCSD's The Loft, another off-center space with a distinctly different energy than a concert hall, and like Anthology, a full menu (Fresh Sound's spring series opens there March 12 with Pamela Z).
In addition, The Glashaus guest list included, among others, longtime San Diego composer and SDSU faculty member Joe Waters, who is presenting an Avant-Pop music festival in collaboration with the TriBeCa New Music Festival (Feb. 25-26 at SDSU).
These endeavors used to struggle independently in their own bubbles of self interest, and they still do. But finally, people are talking, they are listening, they are playing on each others' series, they are supporting one another. You might even say a scene is starting to develop around this music.
It's not for everybody, but you might want to find out for yourself whether or not it's for you. And if it makes it any easier, just forget that classical music thing. You may find that Reich and Lang are speaking your language.

WASHINGTON - The Air Force's top general said Friday that sexual assaults in his branch of the military typically involve alcohol use and can be traced to a lack of respect for women.
"We have a problem with respect for women that leads to many of the situations that result in sexual assault in our Air Force," Gen. Mark Welsh told reporters in a lengthy interview in his Pentagon offices.
He spoke one day after he and other military leaders were summoned to the White House to discuss the sexual assault problem with President Barack Obama, who has expressed impatience with the Pentagon's failure to solve it.
Welsh said combatting the problem, which he characterized as a crisis, is his No. 1 priority as the Air Force chief of staff. He said he reviews every reported case of sexual assault; last year there were 792 in the Air Force.
Welsh addressed criticism about his comment last week, in response to questions at a congressional hearing, that the problem can be explained in part by a "hook-up mentality" in the wider society. Some said his remark implied that the blame rests mainly with victims.
"If I had this to do over again, I would take more time to answer the question and not try to compress it," he said, adding that his point was that every person who enters the Air Force needs to be instructed in "this idea of respect, inclusion, diversity and value of every individual."
"Now, I didn't say it that way in the hearing, and I wish I had because I think it gave, especially victims, the opportunity for someone to interpret what I said as blaming the victims," he said, adding that as a result, "I am sorry about that because there is nothing that is farther from the truth."
Obama said after Thursday's meeting with the military leaders that he is determined to eliminate the "scourge" of sexual assault in the military, while cautioning that it will take a long and sustained effort by all military members.
"There is no silver bullet to solving this problem," Obama said.
"We will not stop until we've seen this scourge, from what is the greatest military in the world, eliminated," he told reporters.
Senior military officers are speaking about the problem with increasing bluntness and expressions of regret. Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on Wednesday called it a "crisis" in the ranks, and on Thursday the Army chief of staff, Gen. Ray Odierno, publicly acknowledged his service's efforts are "failing."
"They care about this and they are angry about it," Obama said.
"Not only is it a crime, not only is it shameful and disgraceful, but it also is going to make and has made the military less effective than it can be," the president said.
Those summoned to the White House by Obama included not just Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, Dempsey and the chiefs of each military service but also the civilian heads of each service and senior enlisted advisers.
"I heard directly from all of them that they are ashamed by some of what's happened," Obama said.
The president added that because assault victims may be more likely now to come forward with complaints, the number of reported assaults may increase in the short run.
"I then want those trend lines to start going down because that indicates that we're also starting to fix the problem and we've highlighted it, and people who are engaged in despicable behavior, they get fully punished for it," Obama said.
The problem, which has plagued the military for decades, has been thrust to the fore by recent cases, including that of an Air Force officer who headed a sexual assault prevention office but was himself arrested for sexual battery.
On Thursday, Army officials said the manager of the sexual assault response program at Fort Campbell, Ky., had been relieved of his post after his arrest in a domestic dispute with his ex-wife. The program he managed was meant to prevent sexual harassment and assault and encourage equal opportunity.
Hagel has said resolving the problem of sexual assault in the military is one of his top priorities, as did his predecessor, Leon Panetta. Hagel is expected to make public in coming days a written directive that spells out steps the Pentagon will take to retrain, rescreen and recertify those who lead the military's sexual assault prevention and response programs.
Earlier Thursday, Odierno, the Army chief, issued a public message to all soldiers in which he said the "bedrock of trust" between soldiers and their leaders has been violated by a recent string of misconduct cases.
He said the Army demonstrated competence and courage through nearly 12 years of war. "Today, however, the Army is failing in its efforts to combat sexual assault and sexual harassment," he wrote.
"It is time we take on the fight against sexual assault and sexual harassment as our primary mission," Odierno said.
Allegations of sexual assault in the military have triggered outrage from local commanders to Capitol Hill and the Oval Office. Yet there seem to be few clear solutions beyond improved training and possible adjustments in how the military prosecutes such crimes.
The Pentagon had scheduled a briefing for journalists Thursday with Hagel and Dempsey, but after the White House meeting was announced, the Pentagon news conference was postponed until Friday.
A Pentagon report last week estimated that as many as 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year, based on survey results, out of 1.4 million in the services.
That report, and a recent series of arrests and other sexual assault problems across the military, have triggered a rush of initiatives from the Pentagon and proposed legislation on Capitol Hill.
Associated Press writers Darlene Superville and Donna Cassata contributed to this report.

My for last lesson for the day, I will now be showing all you flower lovers out there, "how to draw an easy flower", step by step. How many times have I said that flowers are fun to draw? More than a hundred I can guarantee you that. Anyways, since this is not a lesson on any particular flower, I will just make this description short, sweet and to the point. When we were in first grade, one of the more common things for children to draw during art class was flowers. The simplest version of a flower is the daisy, but when you draw a daisy in a simple manner, you are making four or five big round petals instead of many long, narrow petals. I based this flower design on the types of blooms I used to draw when I was a kid. My mother still has drawing from school of some of the premature flowers I've drawn during my young school years. I think you will have fun with this lesson on "how to draw an easy flower", especially all you novice artists out there that likes to start out slow, and move towards improvement at your own pace. Well, that does it for me for today, join me at nine tonight for a full live drawing session. Enjoy the rest of your artistic day.

Former Disney Channel star Lee Thompson Young committed suicide at age 29, his manager said Monday.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to NBC News that when Young didn't arrive for work on the TNT crime drama "Rizzoli & Isles," police were sent to Young's North Hollywood home where his body was discovered shortly after 8 a.m. PT.
"It is with great sadness that I announce that Lee Thompson Young tragically took his own life this morning," Young's manager Jonathan Baruch said in a statement. "Lee was more than just a brilliant young actor, he was a wonderful and gentle soul who will be truly missed. We ask that you please respect the privacy of his family and friends as this very difficult time."
U.S. & World
A spokesperson for the L.A.P.D. told NBC News Young was found dead of a gunshot wound.
Young rose to fame in the lead role of the Disney series for children, "The Famous Jett Jackson," which aired from 1998 to 2001. More recently he had a recurring role on the series "Rizzoli & Isles" as Detective Barry Frost, the partner of Jane Rizzoli, played by actress Angie Harmon. Young began working on the series in 2010.
"We are all without the words to truly express our collective grief and profound sadness at the loss of such a sweet, bright light," Rizzoli" creator, writer and executive producer Jane Tamaro tweeted Monday. "We are broken-hearted. #RIPLeeThompsonYoung"
"We are beyond heartbroken at the loss of this sweet, gentle, good-hearted, intelligent man," TNT, studio Warner Bros. and Tamaro said in a joint statement. "Lee will be cherished and remembered by all who knew and loved him, both on- and offscreen, for his positive energy, infectious smile and soulful grace. We send our deepest condolences and thoughts to his family, to his friends and, most especially, to his beloved mother."
Production on "Rizzoli & Isles" was shut down Monday. TNT had recenlty announced it was renewing the show for a fifth season.
According to a biography from the network Young was a graduate of University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, and was inspired to pursue acting when, at age 10, he played Martin Luther King Jr. in a play in Young's hometown of Columbia, S.C.

Just in case you missed it in July and are coming late to the news: HHS announced three months ago that, for the next year, ObamaCare enrollees will be more or less on the honor system in reporting their income for subsidies purposes. If you make $50,000 and aren't happy with the amount of subsidies you're getting for your new insurance, good news — no one's going to check too closely if you decide to pencil in $25,000 as your annual income instead. In other words, they're trusting the public not to steal. The Healthcare.gov trainwreck and the one-year delay of the employer mandate have gotten plenty of ink but the fact that Obama's basically inviting people to cheat for the next 12 months because his new health-care bureaucracy doesn't have its act together well enough to police fraud is more revealing of the administration's incompetence and corruption than either of those. And now, as an eleventh-hour negotiation demand, Senate Republicans are going to try to make him pay for it.
America 2013: Where the president's willingness not to let people massively defraud his new health-care program is something to be bargained over. May the glorious Hopenchange legacy last a thousand years.
Now, Senate Republicans are putting another Obamacare measure on the table as part of negotiations to fund the government and raise the debt ceiling: Requiring the government to verify the eligibility of Obamacare applicants before they receive subsidies…
The No Subsidies Without Verification Act was passed by the House in September, but it has not been part of the shutdown showdown until now.
"Medicare and Medicaid are already fraught with fraud. I don't think we want to start Obamacare even worse by not even attempting to verify incomes," Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin tells THE WEEKLY STANDARD. Johnson says he would like to see an end to Congress's special treatment or the anti-fraud measure "attached to any increase to the debt ceiling or any continuing resolution agreement."
Jay Cost writes in the Standard today that it's time for the GOP to either fight or quit this whole shutdown business, as there's simply no middle ground. I don't know; this particular proposal feels like middle ground. Unlike the nascent House plan, it does demand that Obama concede something on ObamaCare that's valuable to him — not a defunding or a delay but a provision which his Keystone Kops Healthcare.gov team might simply not yet have the manpower or sophistication to enforce. And yet how could he say no, especially if the anti-fraud demand becomes key to negotiations and reporters start paying attention to it? It's politically radioactive for the president to insist on blocking anti-fraud measures when the whole country's watching; and yet, if he agrees to it, the logistical load on an HHS bureaucracy that's already struggling to keep the websites running might further bog the program down in delays and turn people against it. The messaging for the GOP couldn't be easier. As John McCormack says, "A top concern Senator Ted Cruz is that too many people will become 'addicted' to Obamacare's subsidies after January 1. Ensuring the subsides aren't going to people who aren't eligible is in the interest of those who hope to repeal Obamacare." And in the interest of people who don't care much about O-Care one way or another but do care lots about good government! If Obama's dead set on letting people rip his program off, let him defend that at the White House podium.
One other virtue of the anti-fraud demand: It might steer the public's focus away from the shutdown and back to the problems with ObamaCare itself. Per recent polls, voters are indeed a bit distracted from the car crash that is Healthcare.gov by all the wrangling on the Hill. And even those who aren't find themselves less annoyed by ObamaCare's issues when the government has shut down over them. From Republican-leaning pollster Resurgent Republic:
Unfortunately in the context of a government shutdown, Obamacare is the lesser of two evils.
Unlike previous trends, Independents look more like Democrats than Republicans when it comes to partially shutting down the government in order to right the wrongs of Obamacare. Three-quarters of Independents join 86 percent of Democrats in disapproving of this action, according to a CBS News survey. More noteworthy, Republicans are split: 48 percent approval to 49 percent disapproval.
By 59 to 38 percent, even those who oppose Obamacare believe a partial government shutdown is not the way to go. A government shutdown divides Republicans and flips the anti-Obamacare coalition, which is why the shutdown stopped revolving around the health care law several days ago.
If you're going to proceed with a shutdown in the name of attacking O-Care, attacking it for the Obama administration's insistence on letting new enrollees rip off taxpayers is more fertile ground politically than digging in for a repeal of the medical device tax, which is as much a giveaway to business interests as delaying the employer mandate was. The question is, will the Senate GOP insist on including it as a demand? The whole reason they're floating their own plan is because they're fed up with the stalemate between Democrats and Boehner. They're wading in here as the "reasonable" Republicans who are going to end the shutdown and raise the debt ceiling for a year in the name of getting all of this off the table. That being so, how likely is it that they're going to drop the anti-fraud bomb on Obama and make him start sweating? Exit quotation from Bob Corker: "I think that we will have a solution to this. … I'd be surprised if it goes all the way to the 17th. I think sometime mid-week this will all be resolved, if not sooner, candidly."

I have glued up 4 Sitka spruce sound boards, two with a brittle tone when tapped, like a pane of glass, the other two more restrained. I plan a classic, two L-00 and a parlor. Which would be the best fit for each. I have not selected the wood for back and sides sets.

Morenci city council voted unanimously Monday to attempt removal of the plaster remaining on the State Line Observer's south wall following the demolition of the Dunbar Auction House.
The Dunbar property was purchased by the city earlier this year in anticipation of the demolition and the construction of a parking lot.
When the building was constructed in 1939, a north wall wasn't built. Instead, plaster was applied to the Observer wall, and that's what remains.
Art Erbskorn of the council's Public Works committee introduced a motion to assist the business owners in attempting to clean the plaster off the Observer wall. Following a committee meeting at the site, it was decided that the best approach would be to use water to soften the plaster and then chip it off with a chisel.
If the Observer owners decided the process was causing damage to the brick, the work would be halted.
Observer co-owner David Green said he and his wife, Colleen Leddy, have concerns about the use of the word "assist."
"It makes it sound as though we're sharing the responsibility where I don't think it's my responsibility," he said.
"We're trying to be good neighbors," said mayor Keith Pennington.
"Not a responsible neighbor, just a good neighbor," Green responded. "It's the matter of responsibility that I'm concerned with, not just friendliness. You've left that on my wall and now you're not taking responsibility for it."
"I think the intent of the motion would be to take a step and try to resolve it," Pennington said, "and if it doesn't work, we're going to have to talk some more."
Councilor Jason Cook suggested removing the word "assist" from the motion.
"I think Jason is right," said Observer co-owner Colleen Leddy. "The term 'assist' makes it sound like it's our responsibility and you guys are just helping us out, whereas we're saying it's your responsibility and we're helping you out."
Councilor Tracy Schell offered an amended motion: The city will take the next step in attempting to remove the plaster from the side of David Green's building. If that doesn't work, discussion with the owner will be continued.
The motion passed unanimously.
Verbal agreements were reached with owners of the Pizza Box, the historical museum and Johnson's Gambles for easements that would allow work to proceed on the North Street parking south of the Observer office.
The contractor now believes that lot can finished along with the lots on the south side of Main Street.
The North Street lot will incorporate 17 parking spaces.

In light of GM selling off $2 billion in Suzukibux, Dan Neil's review this week of the Suzuki Grand Vitara is poignant at best (and a helluva coincidence at the least). He addresses the two companies' enduring partnership, sans fiduciary ties, right off. "This seems a little like pledging a strong, future-oriented partnership with the Ottoman Empire," he writes, "but there you go." But what of the ute in question? Is the new model, like its predecessor, a four-wheeled referendum on public transportation, or have the Suzukians raised it to the standards of its competitors? There's good news and there's bad news. But mostly good.

Friday's Guardian has this piece by Hugh
As a child, I used to think Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Nat "King" Cole, Johnny Hodges, Frank Sinatra were living inside that gramophone. My uncle would wind it up and play it to me, and I used to say "hello" to them all. By the time I was five, I knew all the songs, and my parents had to get me piano lessons to lure me away from that gramophone.
South Africa has always been a country of voracious record collectors. Everywhere you went in those days people would be playing records loud, with their doors open. If you heard something you liked you'd lean on somebody's fence and listen. I was 13 when I saw Kirk Douglas playing Bix Beiderbecke in the movie Young Man with a Horn; the great Harry James was playing the trumpet part. That's when I decided to be a trumpeter.
I was fascinated by all music, but American popular music had a special drama and glamour about it. I thought if I could do that too, it would be a way out of the miseries of life in South Africa then.
When I went to the US in the 1960s, it wasn't as an African musician. I wanted to be an American bebopper - my ambition was to play in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. But then Miles Davies and Louis Armstrong and the others said to me, "If you play only American jazz, you'll just be a statistic. If you play something of your own music, then we'll learn from you as well as you from us."
That's when I discovered what musical migration meant. It made me realise I should know more about the traditional music of my country. Singers such as Miriam Makeba and Harry Belafonte helped me begin to discover my roots. Miriam's mother was a traditional healer and she knew everything about the music of South Africa. Even now the process still goes on when I go home and share what I've learned over the years, and in turn learn more myself about things that maybe I didn't pay enough attention to when I was young.
So, like many others in the 20th century, I had become a musical migrant. But musical migration had been influencing the sounds of South Africa long before I heard those American gramophone records as a three-year-old.
In 1834, the colonial government of South Africa's Cape of Good Hope staged a centennial celebration. In addition to the British and indigenous South African pageantry, a minstrel company from the US called the Brothers Revue performed. So massive was the impact of this review that Cape Town's people of mixed-race origins still re-enact their own version of the Brothers Revue in their carnival today, complete with colourful satin outfits, face paint, tambourines, guitars, banjos and a style of choreography that is a joyous mix of yesteryear's African-Americana and home-grown steps.
The 19th-century US missionaries taught the new African converts Negro spirituals; European missionaries brought their own brands of church music, which went on to influence choral composers whose compositions are still sung today by school and community choirs.
But it was in the 20th century that the most powerful migration in music came about with the emergence of cinema and 78rpm vinyl records. Films of singing cowboys Jim Reeves, Tex Ritter, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers were shown in the single-sex mining hostel barracks that housed the black migrant labourers from South Africa's rural hinterlands. They digested these, and came up with a guitar and vocal style called Maskanda. This music spilled over into the urban and rural African townships, and today its exponents - such as Mfaz' Omnyama, Amatshitshi Amhlophe, to name but a few - sell hundreds of thousands of CDs.
Jazz musicals of the 1940s, with their predominantly black casts and swinging quartets like the Mills Brothers and the Ink Spots, spawned similarly styled orchestras and groups in South Africa, such as Victor Ndlazilwane's Woody Woodpeckers. And vaudeville films featuring barbershop singing gave birth to local revues as far back as the 1920s that lead all the way to Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Without US stars of the era such as Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee, Bessie Smith and Judy Garland, we wouldn't have had township singers such as Miriam Makeba, Dolly Rathebe, Thandie Klaasen, Sophie Mgcina and Abigail Kubeka.
This was how I experienced it as a South African; so did Abdullah Ibrahim, Dudu Pukwana and many more of my contemporaries. And all over the world other musical dreamers in so many other places were experiencing their own version of the same process.
The Californian-born Herb Alpert and his Tijuana brass band was inspired by Mexican mariachi bands. He sold millions of records, and established A&M records, a label that produce hit records for scores of artists from various parts of the world. Astrud and Joao Gilberto teamed up with Stan Getz to produce their worldwide hit The Girl from Ipanema, a smash that opened the doors for hundreds of Brazilian samba musicians who owed their subsequent success to the 1959 film, Orfeo Negro (Black Orpheus) which took the world by storm and led to the eventual popularity of Brazilian coffee house cafes and capoeira dance.
America's bebop era touched the spirits of Joe Zawinul in Austria, Django Reinhardt and Toots Thielemans in Belgium, Monty Alexander and Joe Harriott in Jamaica, Sergio Mendes in Brazil, Miroslav Vitous in Czechslovakia, Michel Legrand in France, and Sadao Watanabe and Keiko Matsui in Japan - pulling them out of their countries of birth to travel the world.
And on it goes. The list is endless. Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley gave birth to Elvis, who spawned the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, who gave birth to U2, Coldplay, the Beach Boys, the Byrds, the Bee Gees, and so many more. James Brown begat Fela Kuti. Then there's Nat "King" Cole, who begat Ray Charles, who begat Elton John, Jamie Cullum and John Legend. Or Ella Fitzgerald, who begat Sarah Vaughan, who begat Anita Baker through Aretha, who begat Patti LaBelle, Mariah Carey and Natalie Cole. Or consider the Nigerian roots of Seal and the velvet-voiced Sade, who could be the daughter of Nat "King" Cole from the way she sings. Ravi Shankar's music got to George Harrison, who brought the sitar to rock'n'roll. Ladysmith Black Mambazo bring back their barbershop-inspired sounds in the form of Zulu choral singing, throwing it back at Europe and America.
And out of Africa comes Salif Keita, Oliver Mtukudzi, Miriam Makeba, Fela Kuti, Ghana's High Life, Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, Oumou Sangare, Ballets Africaines, Youssou N'dour. Western music critics and self-appointed authorities are too mesmerised to label them African, so they call it "world music". What poppycock! It goes on and on, this migration.

Dear New Mom,
Welcome and Congratulations on your baby!
I know how tired you are… I've been there so I'll keep it really short and simple. In the next few minutes you will learn natural remedies for your breastfeeding problems, secrets, tips and much more!
As a registered nurse I've gained years of experience helping mothers with breastfeeding, but it wasn't until having my own child that I truly understood these problems first hand.
Child birth is a blessing and breastfeeding should be an amazing experience bonding with your baby. Over a decade of experience with helping new mothers has given me the opportunity to share my lessons with you today.
One of my first experiences was with Derek, the oldest of my 3 children, during the first week I had low milk supply and the poor thing was always hungry, of course moving him to the other breast solved nothing. My baby was getting more and more upset!
"Don't Worry Let's give him the formula." My Husband Nicholas said, and of course that made me burst into tears! He's only 48 hours old and I can't feed him! I am going to be a terrible mother! My poor husband knew I was very hormonal at the time but still, this was my newborn baby and It make me feel really sad that I couldn't give him what he wanted…
I was shocked after being a nurse for so long that this could happen to me and that was the first time I realized that there is not enough information out there about natural remedies to common breast feeding problems…
That Is Why I Wrote This Breastfeeding Guide – To Help Mothers With Secrets, Tips and Natural Remedies
Now that my youngest son is 2 years old I can say I've learned many lessons from breastfeeding between real life experiences, countless of books and many doctors!
After many years, I feel like an expert on the subject, and started to think about sharing that knowledge and tips with other breast feeding mothers. I am a nurse, it comes naturally to try to help people and writing is another thing I really enjoy so after years of planning I came up with… Breastfeeding made easy! This amazing guide includes all of the natural homeopathic cures, tips and remedies that I discovered, learned and practiced over the years.
Speaking with mothers from my parenting groups and social circles I tred to find out what their particular problems were while breastfeeding and 12 unique types of problems came up again and again.
Once I had the list then I had my mission…to reach all the mothers with these problems and hand them a guide of proven solutions for each one on the list. These are now the same remedies that we recommend to mothers in the hospital and those with new born babies at home.
Personally I don't enjoy reading large, technical medical books when looking for help on breastfeeding … I'm guessing you are the same. Wouldn't you rather have a simple list of steps to follow that would instantly solve any type of breastfeeding pain or problem? That is the way I want moms to see my book as a guide, collection of cures and remedies to end your breastfeeding pains and problems before they start.
Breastfeeding is a naturally enjoyable experience but if you are in pain it's time to do something about it… don't wait until it's too late!

Keep on reading some amazing facts that you won't find else where, things you MUST KNOW…
Cracked or bleeding nipples – Instant relief methods that work:

Low milk supply – New routines to remind your body to product milk…
There are plenty of other possible causes from hormonal conditions to physical ailments such as a thyroid imbalance, insulin injections, breast surgery and anemia. Learn about the many every day causes for low milk supply.
Hyperactive letdown – Why it happens and easy solutions:
To start with you could try a position where the baby sits up, like the saddle position, will help keep the baby from being overwhelmed with the amount of milk available.
Nursing strike – Why your baby stops eating and tips on how to start again:
It is hard to watch your child not eat. However, it is possible to convince your baby to come back to nursing with some patience and the right amount of determination.
Breastfeeding thrush – How to spot thrush and clear it up quickly!
If white patches in your babies mouth stick around for several days, this is a good sign it is thrush. Milk residue will come and go depending on how often your child is eating.
Nipple confusion – Get this step right to avoid sore nipples and pains!
Having an artificial nipple, used on bottles, while a baby is still learning how to nurse at the breast can be quite confusing for an infant. This is because the latching on technique for breastfeeding and the sucking technique and position of bottle-feeding is very different.

So Many Happy Moms Have Given Positive Feedback After Reading My Guide…
~ Anna Simmons , Chicago USA. Mother of a boy and girl
"After spending 20 minutes reading the section on mastitis I discovered a match to my own symptoms. I appreciate your guidance on seeking specialist help, there didn't seem to be much information out there so I don't know what we would have done without this. You've given me a new perspective on breastfeeding and hygiene, thanks so much. To all the mothers out there thinking of buying a breastfeeding book, this is the one you really need to read!"
~ Prue Collins, Austin USA. Mother of 2 daughters and 1 son
"My first child was a dream to feed and raise. Always sleeping well and feeding gently on my breasts. I experienced problem after problem with my twin daughters, a situation that was draining and painful due to having 2 mouths to feed. The engorgement information I found in your book was of immense help, I want to thank you also for the email support you've provided.
~ M. Watney, Sydney AUS. Mother of 2 boys
"As soon as I started implementing your step by step instructions for cracked nipples, I could feel a dramatic improvement within days and the issues cleared up by the end of the first week. I can't tell you how good it feels to be rid of the breast pains I endured for weeks before finding your book"
~ Mandy Ackerman, Leeds UK. Mother of 3 daughters
"Reading your ebook has completely transformed my feeding patterns and improved the quality of life for baby and I! After learning about the incorrect positions to feed my child and the problems it causes I no longer have sore nipples, which is a huge relief!"
~ Lisa Anne Wilkinson, San Diego USA. Mother of 1 daughter
"All I can say is wow, this was the best book I've bought on breastfeeding. My little girl is feeding happily and my breasts are healthy again. The chapters on nipple problems make for very interesting reading, I never knew that fixing it could be so obvious. Thank you so very much for helping me through this experience of new motherhood, it's wonderful and less scary with more knowledge. Thank you from the bottom of my heart !!!!"
Avoid feeling stressed or sad about your breastfeeding problems, you are not alone! I've been in the same situation just like many other mothers around the world. I've learned the solutions to each of the main breastfeeding problems after years of research and reading many books (both good and bad). Don't torture yourself reading dozens of books with full of mind numbing details that will put you to sleep.
Find instant relief and lasting cures for common breastfeeding pain and problems:
Nursing primarily on one breast – How to teach your baby feeding patterns: When breast feeding there are a lot of conditions and problems that could arise to make breastfeeding more difficult when feeding on one breast.
Sore nipples – Many causes along with the natural remedies for relief… Key to getting rid of nipple pain is prevention. First step is to practice good positioning and latching.
Breast Engorgement – This can be quite alarming, but be calm and follow my steps… Engorgement does not typically happen during the 'training wheels' period. However, once the milk supply starts and the baby really starts getting the hang of breastfeeding positioning then it is time to watch out for engorgement in your breasts.
Mastitis – Read the facts I've received from the specialists and physicians: While it is possible that any woman could obtain mastitis it is most common in breastfeeding moms. Mastitis has two stages – one non-infectious and another infectious one.
Leaky breasts – Solution come easier by thinking ahead! When your body is producing milk, it is natural for your breasts to drip, leak and sometimes spray milk everywhere. This messy part of nursing is actually a blessing for in disguise.
Clogged milk ducts – Is your bra or feeding schedule clogging your ducts? Milk ducts in your breast are almost like a straw for babies. While there are plenty of these ducts to go around it can still be quite painful when one of them becomes blocked.

Modern Physics/The Law of Gravitation
Law of Gravitation[edit]
Of Newton's accomplishments, the discovery of the universal law of gravitation ranks as one of his greatest. Imagine two masses, M1 and M2, separated by a distance r. The gravitational force has the magnitude
where G is the gravitational constant:
The force is always attractive, and acts along the line joining the centre of the two masses.
Vector Notation[edit]
Let's say that we have two masses, M and m, separated by a distance r, and a distance vector R. The relationship between R and r is given by:
We will also change our force into a force vector, acting in the direction of R:
And this gives us our final vector equation:
Notice that since the ratio between R and r is normalized, the addition of these terms does not alter the equation, only the direction in which the force is acting.

Well the dragon I uploaded yesterday was a big hit as well as the cute cake and cupcake. I will start the day off by showing you guys "how to draw a cartoon T-Rex". This was actually a tutorial request that was made a few days ago and I decided to fill the request because I always wanted to draw a cartoon T-Rex. I already have a regular tutorial on the Tyrannosaurus Rex but it is not as easy as this lesson because it is supposed to look realistic. Anyway, this dinosaur is among the more popular of species that was in existence. This is also one of my favorite dinosaurs as well because of it's enormous size and the brutal mental mindset this reptile had. I started liking the T-Rex when I was younger around the same time the movie "Jurassic Park" came out. I had so many Jurassic Park dinosaur toys that I got for my birthday and Christmas, and I stayed with them for a good two years. I had fun drawing out this powerful beast and I think you guys will too. After all, learning "how to draw a cartoon T-Rex step by step" is always fun to do. I will be back in a while with more drawing fun so stay tuned in guys there is more tutorials coming your way. Peace out and happy drawing.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Business Roundtable suffers buyer's remorse with Obama care, will AMA, ACP, etc. be next ?
The prominent business organization, the Business Roundtable, provided valuable support to the Obama administration in regard to the health care bill. Their support, according to this article, was based on the fear that the Obama administration would push forward with a tax on US corporations who have overseas operations. Now Mr. Orszag tells the group that the administration will go ahead with the tax anyway but by the way thanks for your help with the health care bill.
The folks at BR are now realizing what they "gained" from their earlier support .
"Roundtable President John Castellani, ... We stuck with that majority "through trying circumstances," even "alienating many of our traditional colleagues," and what did we get? They keep "vilifying" the private sector! And taxing it, and empowering unions, and ignoring trade. "The time has come for a new course," declared Mr. Castellani, a mere 18 months after Democrats announced plans to tax companies, empower unions and ignore trade."
Several professional medical organizations, including the AMA and the ACP, also supported the health care bill. Both have been rightly critical of the tardiness exhibited by Congress to fix the SGR but ,so far, I have heard no denunciation of the many provisions of Obama care that delegated unprecedented power to the HHS and other government entities and will exert increasing hegemony over the practice of medicine. Rather we have heard self congratulatory comments about furthering social justice which along with having a "seat at the table" may have been all organized medicine received for their support.
h/t to Wolf Files:12% Pure Hope for the link to the WSJ article.See here for his comments which close with this:
"It was the perfect execution of manipulative divide and conquer by a power-hungry government that sees the private sector as its adversary. And the proverbial man who sat idly by as the king ran over all others because it didn't affect him directly is now left without friends to defend him as the king comes knocking on his door."

Ah, but the Business Roundtable seems to be one of the chief proponents of corporatism, or corpocracy. They speak for top hired management, not shareholders, not other employees, and surely not the people at large.
See Robert AG Monks, Corpocracy
On Health Care Renewal, (http://hcrenewal.blogspot.com) we show how bad leadership by top hired managers of health care organizations is a major reason for the current health care crisis.

I agree.Some times the cahoots arrangements would OK and are apparently good for the corporatists and sometimes not so much.

US Mobile Penetration Rates:
As US wireless providers approach a mythical 100% penetration rate in 2011 (see above), wireless carriers are looking for new ways to extend their services within households via machine to machine (M2M) connectivity.
One of the ways to do this is by enabling automobiles with connectivity to report back on vehicle performance, 'health' and possibly crash information. Recently, Vodafone and Hyundai agreed to a collaborative agreement.
These types of arrangements should help not only with building barriers to exist for customers by "locking" them into multiple agreements, but also build revenues as mobile data rates follow their landline and mobile voice cousins along the product maturity curve and the eventual price decline… Hopefully, many years from now.
Are you ready to get a wireless data plan for your car?

495 Pontiac Cylinder Head Upgrade & Engine Build - New Heads For An Old Indian - Engine Buildup
Roland Canted-Valve Pontiac Heads Plus A Scat Stroker Kit Give The Venerable Pontiac V-8 A New Lease On Life.
There are still a bunch of hard-core real Pontiac enthusiasts out there keeping the old Indian alive, and they remember the glory days when a well-built Pontiac could run up front with anything. The only things lacking to do the same today were modern 21st century cylinder heads.
That's where the guys at Roland Racing came in: They took a clean sheet of paper and designed a canted-valve cylinder head for the traditional Pontiac V-8 that still uses many off-the-shelf parts from other engine makes to keep costs under control. The end result is a state-of-the-art head with intake flow numbers akin to such mainstream big-block Chevy heads as Brodix's BB-1 series.
With modern, high-flowing Pontiac heads finally available, big-inch Pontiac motors are no longer just head-limited torque monsters-they have the potential to make big power numbers, too. Witness this pump gas ultimate street engine built by Andy Mitchell of Hardcore Racing Engines for one of his Australian customers. Based on a 400ci production Pontiac block, it's packed with a Scat rotating assembly for 495 ci and a Comp Cams bumpstick and valvetrain components, then topped off with Roland's big, new cylinder heads to produce at least a 680hp/603-lb-ft package ready to chew up the pavement.
As radical as the new package is, it barely taps the potential of the Roland heads, which were installed out of the box with no porting. More radical porting and machining options plus new aftermarket Pontiac blocks could easily support up to 577 ci and 1,100-plus horsepower.
The engine design may be half a century old, but now Pontiac fans can once more proudly proclaim, "We have a contender."
Roland CV-1 Heads
Roland CV-1 canted-valve heads are a departure from anything previously seen on a real Pontiac V-8, but they are also different from typical Chevy or Ford canted-valve heads. Unlike other canted designs, on CV-1 castings, the valve heads seat horizontally in the chamber. Combined with rolled-over valve angles, this permits the use of larger valves for a given bore size, particularly important with the relatively small-diameter bores found on production-based Pontiac blocks. The valves are tilted toward the center of the bore, so as they open they move farther away from the cylinder wall, unshrouding the valves for improved flow.
The CV-1 intake port design eliminates the pushrod restrictions found on typical Poncho heads, yet on standard Roland castings, offset lifters and/or rocker arms are not required (although there is an optional version with minimized pushrod scallops for max porting that does mandate offset rockers). Unique-length head bolts or studs will be required. Hardcore offers a kit using ARP fasteners (PN CV-1HBK).
The intake side requires complementary CV-1 intake manifolds, but the D-shaped exhaust ports are based on the traditional round Pontiac Ram Air IV pattern, raised approximately 3/8 inch over stock for improved performance (most off-the-shelf Ram Air IV-style headers should still work). There's also a high-end convertible-exhaust option that removes most of the long Pontiac runner for high-end racing that does require custom headers.
SI supplied the stainless valves used on the standard, as-cast Roland heads installed for this build. The 2.3-inch intakes are for a big-block Chevy; the exhaust side uses a 1.71-inch Ford Cleveland-style valve with SI's Black Knight antiheat coating.
As tested on Westech Performance's SuperFlow bench, the heads flow just under 350 cfm at 0.700-inch lift on the intake side. Even by conservative estimates, that's sufficient to support about 720 normally aspirated horsepower. And the flow just keeps on climbing all the way through a full 1.00-inch valve lift.
Head Flow Data
As-cast Roland heads with 2.30-inch intake and 1.71-inch exhaust valves were flowed at 28 inches of water with the heads installed over the listed bore-orifice sizes; a 0.50-inch radiused guide was used on the intake and a 2-inch flow tube on the exhaust. All values are in cfm, except lift, which is in inches.
Block And Rotating Assembly
Mitchell started with a run-of-the-mill 400-inch production two-bolt-main Pontiac block. Why not use a larger 428 or 455? First, scarcity: Used 400s are still plentiful; their larger sisters are not. Second, bearing speed: The 400's smaller 3-inch main journals hold up better at high rpm than the 428/455 engine's huge 3.25-inch mains: The larger the journal diameter, the faster any point on the journal's circumference must travel as it rotates at a given rpm, putting greater stress on the bearings. A larger journal's added surface area also increases friction.
The block was bored 0.065 over to yield a 4.185-inch bore. The weird overbore is for greater ring set availablity; it's the same as a 0.060-over 400 small-block Chevy. With a Scat 4.5-inch-stroke crank and rotating assembly kit (PN 1-41610) that includes rods, pistons, and bearings, displacement comes in at 495.2 ci. Most 400s can go 0.090 over if desired, which with the same crank yields a 501. The main bearings are Clevite 77 standard replacement, as full-race Pontiac main bearings aren't available. However, the 2.20-inch-od big-block Chevy-sized rod journals run full-race Clevite 77 Chevy H-series bearings that support 6.7-inch center-to-center Scat big-block Chevy-style rods. Mitchell runs relatively tight clearances for a Pontiac: 0.0028-inch clearance on both the mains and rods, 0.004-inch crank thrust, and 0.014 to 0.018 rod side clearance.
Preferring a smooth cylinder wall finish, Mitchell honed the block with a torque plate and a 280 Sunnen stone before making a pass with a plateau brush to break off any remaining sharp edges. With a zero-decked block, the Mitchell-modified pistons' -5.5cc dish volume, a Mr. Gasket head gasket (0.038-inch compressed volume x 4.250-inch bore), and 92cc combustion chambers, compression came in at 10.54:1-OK for 91-octane pump gas with a big cam and the heads' quick-burn chambers.
Cam And Valvetrain
Standard Pontiac cams work with the Roland heads, but on a high-end engine, an optimized grind that better matches the heads' improved flow characteristics is preferred. Mitchell installed a solid roller cam with his own specified lobe profiles, custom-ground by Comp Cams. Optimized for high-ratio rocker arms, the lobes with 1.7:1 rockers have more than 0.770-inch lift, but their 270-to-280-degree duration at 0.050 is less than typical for a Pontiac in this engine's intended performance range. To make the cam more idle friendly on a street-driven car, overlap is minimized with a wide 112-degree lobe-separation angle. The wide LSA doesn't seriously impact overall performance because the intake port flows so well. Even with the big cam, piston-to-valve clearance still came in at a more than adequate 0.100-inch intake/0.220-inch exhaust. A custom Hardcore Racing aluminum valley cover was installed to clear the solid roller lifters.
The rockers on CV-1 heads are canted at the same angle as the pushrods, eliminating side loading and reducing parasitic power losses. Except for Roland-supplied guideplates, the top-end valvetrain consists of typical big-block Chevy parts, including Comp's Elite-series valvesprings that develop 240 pounds of seat pressure at a 2.00-inch installed height, with 685 pounds over the nose. For high-end motors, rocker stud girdles or even complete shaft-mount rocker arm assemblies would be unique to the CV-1 but are available through aftermarket sources such as Hardcore Racing.

Valve lift (0 lash, 1.7:1 rockers): 0.773/0.773

Intake opens/closes (0.050 tappet lift): 30 BTDC/66 ABDC
Exhaust opens/closes (0.050 tappet lift): 77 BBDC/25 ATDC
Oil System
Mitchell's oil system is decidedly nontrick: A modified Ram Air IV oil pump sucks oil out of a 7-quart (with filter) Canton street/strip trap-door oil pan. There are no internal oil passage mods. There are no top end oil restrictors. "You need oil to the top end to keep the springs alive," Mitchell says.
Fuel, Air, and Spark
Roland CV-1 heads require a dedicated intake manifold, also available through Roland. A single-plane as well as a dual-four-barrel tunnel-ram are offered, both with a choice of either the standard Holley 4150 flange or the larger 4500 Dominator flange. The engine's future owner preferred a 1,000-cfm, 4150-style Holley. None of the intakes has a stock-type built-in water crossover; if one's needed for street use, Kauffman sells a bolt-on crossover casting complete with thermostat housing. An all-MSD ignition system fires NGK PN 5671A-8 plugs gapped at 0.035 inch. For the dyno test, Westech installed a set of Hooker headers with 2-inch primaries and 31/2-inch collectors (PN 4201), along with 18-inch collector extensions.
On The Dyno
You'd expect a typical undersquare Pontiac to be a torquey stump puller, and this engine doesn't disappoint: On Westech Performance's SuperFlow dyno, Hardcore's 495 with the new Roland heads made a peak 603.2 lb-ft at 5,200 rpm, more than 600 lb-ft from 5,000 through 5,400 rpm, and more than 550 lb-ft from 4,100 (the lowest test point) through 6,400 rpm. What you don't expect is for a Pontiac to make big horsepower. But would you believe more than 500 hp from 4,600 rpm on up, more than 600 hp starting at 5,300, and an observed peak of 679.6 hp at 6,500-with the curve still on the upswing? Unfortunately, we couldn't cajole Mitchell into letting Westech run it in on up past tip-over: It seems the hoped-for rocker stud girdle hadn't shown up in time for the test, the bottom end had only two-bolt mains . . . and well, the motor was built for a paying customer all the way Down Under (Australia). But judging from the shape of the curve, with a little more guts and a little more tuning, this engine is easily a 700-plus-horsepower mill.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Michelle Obama drew a pair of construction paper hands for a project with military children during a 9/11 visit to a USO center at the Army's Fort Belvoir. The first lady said she wanted to highlight the organization's work on behalf of wounded service members and their families.
The USO Warrior and Family Center opened in February at the Army installation in Virginia, just south of Washington. The USO says it's the largest ever to support wounded troops, their families and others by providing relaxation, home-cooked meals, kids' playrooms and other support.
Mrs. Obama helped children complete banners decorated with cutouts of handprints for a rock concert Wednesday night. She was joined by actor Gary Sinise, a USO supporter whose "Lt. Dan Band" was performing at the event. Sinise played the character "Lt. Dan" in the movie Forrest Gump.
Mrs. Obama also brought along cookies shaped like the family's new Portuguese water dog, Sunny. Afterward, she toured the Intrepid Spirit center, also at Fort Belvoir. The facility was dedicated Wednesday and provides outpatient care to service members and veterans with traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder and related conditions.
She met privately with wounded service members and their families and participated in a round-table discussion with caregivers. Mrs. Obama traveled to Fort Belvoir after observing a moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White House with President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, his wife, Jill, and White House staff members.

CARSON, Calif. – Calling it a career and leaving a game you've been playing for almost 30 years normally would be a difficult decision for most athletes, but not the LA Galaxy's Chris Klein.
He knew it was time to go.
The 34-year-old, preparing for his final regular-season game on Sunday against FC Dallas at The Home Depot Center, realized before the start of this season there was a good chance it was going to be his last, and he has no regrets about his recent decision to call it a career and enter the next chapter of his life.
"It's never an easy decision to make," he said, "but I believe it's the right time to step away and do something else. I'm very thankful for the past 13 years that I've played professionally. This is something I've been doing since I was five.
"It's going to be an adjustment, but I'm looking forward to it."
Klein, who began his 13-year MLS career when he was drafted fourth overall by the Kansas City Wizards in the 1998 college draft, ranks fifth in MLS history with 332 career regular season games played. He also owns the league mark for consecutive games played at 141 and consecutive starts at 118.
The Indiana University product started every regular season game that his teams played from June 11, 2005 until April 11, 2009, a streak that ended on April 18, 2009 when the Galaxy tied the San Jose Earthquakes 1-1. His consecutive games streak came to a close on Sept. 26, 2009 when he was an unused substitute in a 2-0 loss at Columbus.
Klein also has 22 caps with the U.S. national team, for which he made his debut in a 2-0 victory over Mexico in Los Angeles on Oct. 25, 2000.
"He's had a great career," said Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena, who gave Klein his international debut nearly a decade ago, "and he's going to do well in his next career, whatever that is."
Klein, who said he hopes to stay with the Galaxy organization in some capacity, said he would like fans and teammates – present and past – to remember him for how much pride he took in how he played.
"For fans, I'd like for them to remember me for playing the game the right way," Klein said. "That I gave everything I had every time I was on the field. With my teammates, mostly that I cared for them in a different way."
No problem in that regard, said current teammate Mike Magee.
"The effect he's had on this team you can't really put into words," he said. "He did kind of the same thing in Kansas City … he was a mainstay for them and one of the best players in this league.
"He was obviously your stereotypical iron man, played in every game, kind of brought leadership and good things to the locker room for many years, more than any other guy has.
"He's accomplished things in this league that might not happen again."
Klein said he took special pride in his longevity, but he also admitted he didn't particularly want to talk about it. Until now.
"Now I guess I'm at a point of reflection to look back and think of starting and playing that many games in a row," he said. "I'm thankful to God that I was able to be healthy for that long. To have two major knee surgeries, to be able to come back and put together that many games in a row I'm thankful for it.
"It's something that I'm proud of."
Klein said he always will remember the camaraderie with his teammates and being in the locker room on a daily basis. There is little in the game he did not enjoy – with two notable exceptions.
"I won't miss the possibility of being traded," he said. "I know there's uncertainty in life. I also won't miss time away from my family, although with my next career you never know.
"I won't not miss a whole lot."
