We noticed todays date and thought how iconic three numbers in a certain order can be 426.
In the world of engine displacement, 426 cubic-inches has had an illustrious past when the words Max Wedge and HEMI® followed these magical numbers. It was the arrival of 426 Max Wedge in 1963 that made our Dodge B-body (and Plymouth cousins) serious contenders at the drag strip. Fabled teams like the Ramchargers, Golden Commandos and many others won numerous events and buried many quarter-mile ET and MPH records while putting the competition on the trailer. Not to take it lying down, the Brand X racers began showing up with more exotic hardware under the hood to do battle with the all mighty Max Wedge. Knowing this, our merry band of engineers went back to the drawing board and revisited an old friend the Hemisphere cylinder head. They made some improvements and design changes to adapt it to the 426 RB block (which was also revamped). Thus in early 1964, the 426 HEMI® was born and it terrorized the competition at the Daytona 500 that year. It also assaulted the NHRA and AHRA drag racing circuits with the likes of Don Garlits, Sox & Martin, Dick Landy and others piloting their HEMI powered Dragsters, Funny Cars and Door Slammers to class wins. On the streets of big cities and small rural communities, both engines developed a dont mess with em reputation from would be challengers at the stop light duels. While the Max Wedge sedans looked more like your grandfathers car, the 426 Street HEMI Chargers, Super Bees, Coronets and Challengers with their bumble bee stripes and wild high-impact colors screamed performance.
Today, both the 426 Max Wedge and HEMI® are alive and well thanks to our friends at Mopar along with the high-performance aftermarket parts industry. Racers and restorers can get virtually everything to put one of these behemoths together and make some serious power. So mark your calendar and remember 4/26 and the impact these three numbers had in changing the landscape of the American car culture.

Ice cream used to be an off-limit pleasure for those who can't eat dairy. Now, thanks to serious culinary magic, freezer cases are packed with creamy stand-ins made from everything from coconut to soybeans. Some are sugary concoctions best left in the carton. But others are as velvety rich and luscious as premium ice cream.
They may be dairy-free, but they are no diet food. A great nondairy ice cream starts with lots of natural fat; the best are made with cashews and coconut, but soy and almonds can work as well. The best ice creams contain top-notch gourmet ingredients — and little else. Those that contain lots of gums, starches and faux flavorings are far less tasty.
Here's the scoop on the best and worst. (Nutrition information refers to a ½-cup serving.)
Luna & Larry's Hazelnut Fudge Coconut Bliss
Dessert doesn't get better than this dreamy coconut-based mix with nut and coconut fudge. It's as decadent as ice cream, with even more complex flavor. You'll find many tempting flavors, all coconut-based, in this brand. 240 calories, 11 g fat and 3 g protein. $5.49 per pint at Whole Foods. (4 stars)
Mr. Dewie's Cashew Milk Chocolate Frozen Dessert
The flavor of this ridiculously rich, velvety cream is so deeply chocolate, you won't even miss the dairy — or notice that it is made with nuts. 270 calories, 15 g fat, 7 g protein. $7.89/pint at some Andronico's and Whole Foods. (4 stars)
Genuto 100% Nut-Based Madagascar Vanilla
Creamy mouthfeel and true, clean flavors make this cashew-based cream a sweet scoop worth seeking. The inventive flavor lineup includes strawberry-rosewater, crystallized ginger and chocolate-cardamom. 230 calories, 12 g fat, 5 g protein. $8.99/12-ounce carton at select Whole Foods. (4 stars)
Trader Joe's Chocolate Coconut Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert
Made with coconut milk, this slightly lighter dessert has fresh flavor and a clean consistency that's still decadent enough to satisfy. 180 calories, 9 g fat, 2 g protein. $3.49/pint. (3½ stars)
Trader Joe's Soy Creamy Cherry Chocolate Chip Non-Dairy Dessert
Except for the slight beany flavor of soy, this budget-priced dessert is a solid swap for standard ice cream. The vanilla is slightly less delicious, but still likely to fool the unsuspecting, if served alongside cake or pie. 190 calories, 8 g fat, 2 g protein. $3.29/quart (3 stars)
So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Milk Chocolate
Pleasantly creamy and sweet, this coconut-forward ice cream could use a pinch of salt. Still, it's a fair pick for coconut fans. The version made with almond milk is less successful. 140 calories, 7 g fat, 1 gram protein. $6.49/pint at Whole Foods. (2 ½ stars)
Amy's Mocha Chip Organic Non-Dairy Dessert
This coconut-based treat is reminiscent of homemade ice cream, but it's a bit too sweet and its icy texture is off-putting. 240 calories, 15 g fat, 2 g protein. $5.99/pint at Safeway. (2 ½ stars)
Double Rainbow Vanilla Bean Soy Cream
This soy-based mix has a dreamy texture, but the beany flavor of the soy competes with the vanilla. 180 calories, 8 g fat, 2 g protein. $4.39/pint at Whole Foods. (2 stars)
DF Mavens Dairy-Free Del Lago Chocolate Frozen Dessert
This coconut-based dessert is pleasant and has creamy texture, but the sweetness dulls the flavor of the chocolate. The company also makes ice creams from almond and soy. A serving has 150 calories, 8 g fat, 1 gram protein. $8.50/pint at Whole Foods and Andronico's. (2 stars)
Purely Decadent Dairy Free Turtle Trails
This overly sweet, soy-based dessert isn't terrible, but it lacks fresh, authentic flavor. 180 calories, 7 g fat, 1 gram protein. $5.39/pint is at Safeway. (1 star)
Julie's Organic Non-Dairy Mint Chip
Too much sugar and not enough flavor makes this coconut-based dessert a poor pick. 220 calories, 14 g fat, 2 g of protein. $5.39/pint at Whole Foods; $9.99/1½ quarts on sale at Sprouts. (½ a star)
Dream Chocolate Indulgence Gelato
A strange earthy flavor overpowers the chocolate in this oddball mix of almond milk and tapioca. 150 calories, 7 g fat, 1 gram protein. $3.79/pint at Sprouts Market. (No stars)
Rice Dream Organic Vanilla
This tastes like wet cardboard dipped in corn syrup. 160 calories, 6 g fat, 0 g protein. A pint is $4.49 at Whole Foods. (No stars)

Awesome Stuff: Hacking Your Car
from the about-time dept
- First up is the AutoAide from Park.IT. It does the basic stuff that you'd expect -- such as telling you what the various engine warning lights are referring to, and monitoring things like the car battery's health. It also claims to improve the GPS functionality of your phone, though it's not entirely clear how necessary that really is. The key focus, though, is for parking. As its name suggests, Park.IT already has an app that helps you find parking and also avoid parking tickets. And, not surprisingly, that's built into AutoAide. If a lot of people are using AutoAide and Park.IT (maybe a big stretch), it can even alert you when someone is leaving their parking spot.
- Next up, we've got Fuse, which is somewhat more ambitious attempt to make use of the car's dataport. Again, it does a lot of the expected stuff, tracking your driving habits, keeping track of maintenance and expenses, but then it also tries to connect with other apps and services. One feature is the carpool feature, which automatically classifies regular trips and can associate your contacts with the people you pick up, doing things like automatically emailing them when you're getting nearby. The company also promotes that the data is stored in a personal cloud -- and, like Park.IT above, it seems like the dataport device is partly promoting the company's "main business." In this case, Fuse is a product of Kynetix, which has an open source cloudOS, which Fuse users can use to store their own data under their own control.
Fuse and they're about 20% of the way there with still about four weeks to go. To be honest, this one struck me as way too expensive for what you get. Not only is the device itself more expensive ($139 -- or $119 if you get in on the early bird), there's also an ongoing service fee. Getting in on the Kickstarter deal only gives you a 90 day free pass on service. So it seems like this could get expensive quickly, and it doesn't even look like the app is that well developed, or has that many features. Considering many of the other devices in this market are both cheaper and have no service fees, it's a tougher sell here (for example, the Automatic Link, which is getting very good reviews is $100 with no service fees).

Global enterprise application company acquires mobility, service management applications provider
IFS has announced that it has signed an agreement with the owners of Metrix LLC ("Metrix") to purchase 100% of the membership interests. The acquisition will further strengthen IFS's market position in the high-growth global Mobility and Service Management application market.
Metrix was founded in 1980 in the U.S. and is 100% focused on providing advanced Mobility and Service Management applications. The company is headquartered in Waukesha, Wis. with subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Singapore.
The company generated net revenue of $8.7 million and EBITDA amounting to $1.3 million in the financial year ending Dec. 31, 2011.
Metrix has built a very strong position providing service management solutions to industries such as Asset and Capital Equipment, Telecommunications, High Tech and Medical Device Manufacturing, Transportation, and Third Party/Outsourced Field Service Operations. They have approximately 90 customers including many well-known brands such as the Ericsson Group, Motorola, Xerox, Space Engineering Services, DHL, Auto Windscreens, ITT, IMAX, Ingenico, Makino, and Sysmex.
The acquisition provides IFS with a state of the art, built–in, configurable and packaged mobile application for the field service market. This solution offers short time to value and a robust, mobile development framework which will add valuable mobile technology and experience to IFS. Metrix has provided mobile solutions to the field service market since 1991, and has continued to innovate to offer modern, leading-edge technology.
By combining IFS, Metrix, and IFS 360 Scheduling, a real-time workforce scheduling solution, IFS can realize strong revenue synergies as it gives IFS the most complete service management offering on the market – from a single vendor. IFS now provides both a broader service and project centric ERP solution for asset intensive industries (long life capital equipment), as well as a more customer-centric (contact center, workforce scheduling) solution for high volume service providers – both combined with a state-of-the-art on/off-line mobile application.
In addition, the acquisition further extends IFS' existing cloud strategy. Metrix is available through multiple deployment options: On-premise, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or Software + Services.
IFS Americas will be responsible for integrating Metrix. President and CEO of IFS Americas, Cindy Jaudon, looks forward to welcoming both new customers and employees to IFS.
IFS expects that there will be a positive earnings impact from the acquisition in 2012.

Drug and food interactions
progesterone food
Applies to: progesterone
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of orally administered drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because grapefruit juice inhibits primarily intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4, the magnitude of interaction is greatest for those drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4 (i.e., drugs with low oral bioavailability). In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.
MANAGEMENT: Patients who regularly consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice should be monitored for adverse effects and altered plasma concentrations of drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice should be avoided if an interaction is suspected. Orange juice is not expected to interact with these drugs.
phenylpropanolamine food
Applies to: Control (phenylpropanolamine)
Using phenylpropanolamine with alcohol can increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects such as increased heart rate, chest pain, or blood pressure changes. In addition, you may also be more likely to experience nervous system side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, depression, and difficulty concentrating. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with phenylpropanolamine. Do not use more than the recommended dose of phenylpropanolamine, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medication without first talking to your doctor.
Therapeutic duplication warnings
No warnings were found for your selected drugs.
Therapeutic duplication warnings are only returned when drugs within the same group exceed the recommended therapeutic duplication maximum.

Drug Interaction Classification
|Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
|Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
|Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
|No information available.
Do not stop taking any medications without consulting your healthcare provider.

The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves: The Third Tier Zip Codes
What will it take to make the zip code series stop? Lots and lots and lots of quality submissions! So until you send in your best guest post EVEH, we'll be running these wonderful lists and photos for the next few hundred Sundays or until we run out of data, by which time Forbes (if they're still a going concern) will have the 2012 list ready. But look on the bright side. No more annoying maps like last year!
Today we look at all the Northern California entries in Forbes Most Expensive Zip Codes 2011: The Top 100 of the Bottom 400.
Previous entries in this year's series:
Quick recap: Forbes messed up their data even worse than usual this year, plus many areas on last year's list have completely disappeared without explanation. We add in the comparison to last year's rankings and find the "most expensive" house (if it's findable) that Forbes mentions for each entry. While Forbes doesn't seem that interested in hearing from their readers (registration is required), Altos Research, who did the number-crunching, loves talking data. They've responded to a couple of my concerns here.
Here we go, numbers 101-200, which are now under the Million and a Half Median! How Low do we have to go to sink under a million? Remember, this is the Third Tier, so Real Bay Area (RBA) bragging rights are gone (except for some exceptions).
#106: Alamo 94507
- Median Home Price: $1,396,000
- Median Price Change: -7.8% ⇓
- Average Days On Market: 200 134
- Inventory: 134 102
- Rank in 2010: #101 (-5 spots ⇓)
- Most Expensive Home: $11.8 Million (322 Lark Lane)
This high-end (for the East Bay) location south of Walnut Creek is stuck in atop the third tier right where it belongs, just a few spots above Newport Beach. This luxury home that looks more like an administration building kind of says it all. Free architectural clue: It's the windows that make this place a façade fail.
A new $13.8 million property has come on the market since the Forbes article ran, and it has a more traditional (and attractive) look, in the classic "Let's build a French country estate in Contra Costa County" style.
Plenty more to enjoy after the break! In fact, we promise the very next one is a Burbed favorite, so click on through.

The other day I found some wonderful charm packs that I could not live without. Moda Lumier de noel and Moda solids in white to tan. I purchased 2 packs each and was going to make the d4p, however I was very tired when I made my first 2 I gave up and tried something else. I took two blocks and decided to cut the 4 patches in half corner to corner then I used half of each block and to make a pinwheel. It looked ok but I wanted more. So I decided to do the dp4 patch method and this is what I ended up with!! If you have any questions please PM me and I will answer them on this tutorial. Thank you for watching I have 12 pictures and will try to explain them as best I can!1
Step 1 choose two different 4 patches
Cut in half diagonally both ways on both patches
what you end up with
talk half of the 4 patch and alternate them so you have a pinwheel effect.
Sew together each triangle
sew each half together
Cut on all 4 sides 1 1/4"
All sewn together :)

MacAodha lives at the foot of the Sperrin Mountains -- her inspiration in any season. She has two poetry books published: "Where the Three Rivers Meet" and "Guth An Anam" ("Voice of The Soul").
Aine started writing poetry as a child, when she also became enamored with photography. Between her mother's collection of ballad books, which intrigued her, and her inquisitiveness about her father's darkroom in the family home, she was destined to become the accomplished 'poet-ographer' that she is today.
A mother of three grown children, MacAodha is also an artist not afraid of taking chances. She personifies the key ingredient for achieving unique beauty in her work; that is, not necessarily doing different things, just doing things differently. She is drawn to mountain ranges, old ruins, churches, castles, Celtic burial sites and rural scenery. She is a master at pairing images with her poetry.
The true genius of her work is the timeless quality of it, much like Ireland itself. MacAodha is able to capture the spirit of nature and emotion in words and through the lens of her camera. We e-mailed her some questions, which she addressed hard by the Sperrins that so inform her muse.– WG Visual Arts Producer Maryann Tracy
The Wild Geese: Have you always had an interest in both poetry and photography?
|Aine MacAodha
The Wild Geese: Which came first? When did you decide to combine the two?
MacAodha: I suppose poetry came first; growing up, songs surrounded the home and poetry and song are very alike to me. The combination was always there; when words fail me I have the camera in hand to capture some of nature's often-overlooked wonders. Lately, I have combined Haiku with a photograph -- poetography -- if you like, they fit so beautifully together. Haiku are my favorite poem to write, very difficult to get them right; but when I do it's magical to see them combined on screen.
|Joseph Mary Plunkett
MacAodha: There have been many. The first poets to really inspire me were the 1916 poets, [for example, Joseph Mary] Plunkett; especially his story, I like this poem "I See His Blood Upon a Rose," and I really admired his wife, Grace Gifford Plunkett. [I was] greatly inspired also by Yeats, Seamus Heaney and the Celtic revivalist era of Yeats, Katharine Tynan, and Alice Milligan, who was a native of Omagh. I also love Rumi, the 13th century mystic poet. I'm very fond of the beat poets of America and read quite a bit lately of Emerson and Whitman. All fascinating.
The Wild Geese: You are obviously tremendously inspired by your surroundings. Tell me about that creative or spiritual feeling you experience when you find that special place, like the Sperrin Mountains.
The Wild Geese: "Voice of the Soul," your second book of poetry, published in 2011, includes some haiku that I particularly enjoyed. What is "soul voice"?
MacAodha: "Voice of the Soul" was my second book, and I have written quite a few haiku in that collection. Haiku are a beautiful way to write short forms of poetry, I began reading Basho, the Japanese haiku poet, and it had me fascinated [as] it looked so simple yet quite the opposite to do. I was thrilled to have a few published in the Shamrock Haiku Journal and Haiku Ireland.
|Holy Well, Co. Clare
The Wild Geese: What is the essence of "Where the Three Rivers Meet"?
MacAodha: "Where the Three Rivers Meet' was my first collection. It took a long time to put [it] together, as I wanted most of the poems within to have been published in as many poetry publications as possible. Many of the poems touch on The Troubles, and growing up amid this, your surroundings were bleak. This collection is an 'awakening,' if you like, to the beauty that surrounds Northern Ireland, now that peace has come it looks and feels more freer and beautiful.
The Wild Geese: Tell me about your poem "Denied."
MacAodha: I … was asked to write a poem on [the Cillini – typically, unconsecrated burial grounds for unbaptized babies], and "Denied" was the result. I found this very interesting and heartbreaking, [with] so many parents having to go through this with no support from church and family at that time.
The Wild Geese: Tell me about your involvement with the Derry Playhouse.
MacAodha: I was involved with the Derry Playhouse back in 2000, under the guidance and facilitation of writer Margie Bernard (author of "Daughter of Derry"), a wonderful woman who I and others met at a creative writing master-class tutored by theatre director David Gothard, held at The An Creggan center here in Tyrone. From that was formed The Derry Playhouse Writers, which is still going as strong today. You can visit the site here at http://derryplayhousewriters.org/ . For me the playhouse opened my mind and gave this country girl a voice. There were weekly meetings and various workshops and master classes, which helped my writing go forward.
The Wild Geese: Is there anything you would like to add?
MacAodha: At the moment, I am sending new poetry out to magazines, with recent publications in Outburst Magazine and The firstcut [the on-line magazine of the Listowel Writers Group] and I recently interviewed with Frank Hanover of the University College Cork radio show "Words on Top." On the back burner is a kind of semi-autobiographical book on growing up in Omagh, with the background of music not war. I hope to get to work on that in June when I take up my residency at The Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Monaghan. WG
|Barnes Gap, Sperrins Region
Carved centuries ago
by the powerful elements
of wind and ice slicing
through the countryside.
Glazed now by a carpet of moss
and haunted by the hills of
Mullaghbane and Mullaghbolig
seem untouched by modern man;
apart from the odd sheep
that wandered under the fence
leaving clots of wool waving
Tense atmosphere only solidifies
the cheek of my intrusion.
Sun plays hide n. seek
behind rocks and crevices
cooling schists once again.

Diagnosis – Degenerate
17 year old girl comes in with her douche bag of a boyfriend complaining of abdominal pain, distension and vaginal discharge with whitish tissue. When asked when she had her last period, she says 2 months ago. When asked if she has unprotected sex she says 'all the fucking time'. When asked if she thought she could be pregnant she gets a deer-in-the-headlights look and says, 'but he doesn't cum in me!' The boyfriend emphatically supports this. Then he asks, 'but couldn't her gut be hurtin' cuz I fucked her too hard in the ass?' Ew. No you degenerate assbag it's because she's pregnant and miscarrying. Some people seriously should have IQ testing done before attempting to reproduce.

The Bisons used four runs in the eighth inning to come from behind and beat the Campbell Fighting Camels in the first game of a doubleheader Friday afternoon at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium.
The Bisons sent their ace, junior lefty Rex Brothers, to the mound for his final home start of the season. Brothers struggled with his control before being lifted for freshman Josh Cotham who picked up his first career win in Lipscomb's 8-6 win.
Brothers tossed seven innings striking out nine. He threw four wild pitches, had a balk, and committed a throwing error on a pickoff attempt.
The win secured the Bisons a berth in the 2009 Atlantic Sun Tournament.
The Bisons struck first in the bottom of the second inning with freshman Tennyson Dodd driving in senior Justin Sanders on a groundout to second base.
However, Campbell came fighting right back in the third inning with two runs of their own. The Fighting Camels left fielder Chris Bangi led off the inning with a single and advanced to second on Brothers's pickoff attempt error. Bangi stole third and then scored on a balk. Campbell's right fielder Ryan Hamme singled to right field and then advanced to second and third on two wild pitches. First baseman Brian Gana batted Hamme in on a single to third base.
The Bisons freshman right fielder Antonio Butler helped Lipscomb tie the game at two in the bottom of the third by leading off the inning with a single through the left side of the infield. He later scored on a sacrifice fly ball hit by junior Tyler Wilson.
The two teams were not even for long, Campbell re-took the lead on a fourth inning unearned run by shortstop Kevin Nelson. Nelson reached first base on a fielder's choice. He then advanced to second on a wild pitch. He stole third, and then was able to score on another wild pitch thrown by Brothers.
The score would remain 3-2 in favor of the Fighting Camels until the seventh inning. Campbell added two runs in the top of the seventh to increase their lead to 5-2. However, the Bisons would get two runs in the seventh inning to draw within one run. Senior Allen Bolden and Dodd were both batted in on a Butler single to the right field gap.
Campbell extended their lead to 6-4 in the eighth inning with a run by Bangi batted in off of a Hamme double.
The Bisons entered the bottom of the eighth inning having trailed the Fighting Camels for four-and-half innings, but Lipscomb used the bottom of the eighth to rally back. Lipscomb opened the inning with three consecutive hits. Wilson and Sanders both singled and senior shortstop Branden Cadavid doubled fueling the four run inning for the Bisons.
The eighth inning rally included five Lipscomb hits and a Campbell error.
Lipscomb senior closer Kyle Tognazzini pitched the ninth inning for his eighth save of the season.
Cotham improved to 1-1 on the year, while Campbell's reliever Daniel Gardo fell to 1-4.
The Bisons improved to 20-28, 14-11 in the A-Sun, while the Fighting Camels fell to 24-20, 6-15 in the A-Sun.

The Old Dog
This is my commuter bike, an old Centurion LeMans 12 that probably dates from the late 70s or early 80s. I bought it at a garage sale and used it for commuting and cyclocross before converting it to a fixed gear. It's not the oldest bike in the garge, but it's close. The only ones older would be my ancient Pennine - also a fixed gear these days - and a couple of Raleigh DL1s.
If you look carefully, you'll notice that's a vintage Campy Nuovo Record crankset, complete with Campy bottom bracket. Those parts are probably worth more than the rest of the bike altogether. It has Mavic MA2 rims laced to Suntour sealed bearing hubs and Universal 68 brakes.
I rode the Centurion up to Panera Bread this morning. Wade and I had coffee, then he was off to have breakfast with a lady acquaintance. Single guys have all the fun! I wandered around town checking out garage sales and the Goodwill store. I found a snow globe for Lyndsay, a cat book for Mary, and a book of essays for me (The Conscious Reader, Ninth Edition, with material from a host of writers both classic and modern).
That's the exterior of my garge door behind the Centurion. I'll post a photo of the interior too. Let's be kind and say that it's cluttered. But the interior of my mind is much, much worse!

Lovelace not in the stars for Lindsay Lohan
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Lindsay Lohan won't be playing 1970s porn star Linda Lovelace in "Inferno."
Writer-director Matthew Wilder says his production team is in negotiations with another actress and will make an announcement soon.
Some media reports say the 24-year-old starlet quit to focus on her court-ordered rehab for drug addiction; others say Wilder wanted her replaced.
The "Mean Girls" star is expected to be in rehab in southern California until at least Jan. 3.
The actress has become more of a tabloid mainstay than box office draw since a pair of high-profile arrests in 2007 led to a drug and drunken driving case. A judge last month ordered Lohan to rehab. It was her fifth time in court since May. The ruling allowed her to avoid a fourth trip to jail.

AP/PO/EX Accounts Payable/Purchase Order/Expenses
This is the Oracle descriptor of the Procurement module. These are the process areas that define CUNY's Procurement life cycle.
(AS) Application Security
The CUNYfirst processes that are being developed do not fall into a "one-size fits all" category, where we can make everything available to everyone. Individuals will have access to specific processes that match their current job. As we learn more about the functions of the software, campus leaders will "map" functions to a person's role in the department – that is if you do A, they will make sure you have access to the CUNYfirst processes that allow you to do A. Each campus team has an Application Security liaison. His/her role in the project is to turn on or turn off access to the various processes, based on your role. This ensures that you are only given access to the data you need and no more. This security also means that our records – employee or student – are only available to those whose job is defined to serve our specific needs.
Campus Solutions
This is the umbrella term for the suite of software designed to serve our student population. Currently, the Campus Solutions team is focused on implementing the following processes for our Vanguard Colleges – Queens College and Queensborough Community College: Student Records, Student Financials, Registration and Course Catalog. These will allow students at those colleges to register for the Summer and Fall 2009 terms, and for our professionals to support them. We will add Financial Aid during Wave Two (spring 2010) and Admissions later as more colleges come on board. When you hear Campus Solutions, think Student Support and Administration.
CRP – Conference Room Pilots
At the beginning of the Project, we had sessions known as Fit/Gap. These were designed to allow Subject Matter Experts (SME) to see out of the box processes in PeopleSoft. The sessions would allow them to talk about how they might work for CUNY, or if there was a gap that needed to be closed either by our business processes or by changing the software. Now, SME's attend Conference Room Pilot sessions to do the same, but now we can move from base design to configuration quicker. Participants now are asked to validate if the base processes can work for CUNY so we can start the configuration process sooner.
The City University of New York's Fully Integrated Resources and Services Tool. This project will play a major role in the transformation of an integrated university that will streamline business practices while supporting the unique characteristics and programs of our 23 institutions.
Enterprise Learning Management System. This is the system where users register online for training classes, where trainers can access their class list and mark that attendees have complete courses, and where on-line classes will be available. The system allows users to control their training by allowing them to choose when they can take classes and also opt for self-paced learning and refresher material.
Enterprise Resource Planning. It is the information system that will integrate software applications for CUNY. ERP is a core set of reengineered business processes, integrated within a single computing architecture.
ESS / MSS Employee Self-Service/Manager Self-Service
These describe access to Human Resource processes. When an employee's security role is defined, they will be given access to CUNYfirst based on that. If they manage people, their work screen will show what they have access to see or use to do their job. The ESS screen will show the various processes that define them – contact information and benefit listings.
General Ledger
The heart of our Finance processes. General Ledger will be one of the first PeopleSoft modules to Go-Live at CUNY, scheduled for July of 2008. The General Ledger module is made to capture and manage all accounting information. Our FIRST application to "GO LIVE" (become functional throughout CUNY when tested, evaluated and re-tested with every user trained and supported) is General Ledger.
HCM – Human Capital Management
This a term for the PeopleSoft suite of processes designed to aid the university in the management of our Human Resources. While you will hear the terms HR and HCM interchangeably during the Project, CUNY is not adopting HCM as the name for our personnel management. We have a Vice Chancellor for Human Resources Management and Human Resources departments throughout CUNY.
The foundations of the key area for CUNY that match PeopleSoft processes. For this project, our Pillars are Finance, Human Resources and Student Administration.
Another umbrella, denoting the change to CUNYfirst processes for Purchasing, Accounts Payable and Expenses. The work here, as described above, will allow seamless management and monitoring our financial processes from request to payment, doing on-line what many of our professionals do on paper, and integrating across departments so that we do our purchasing and chart our expenses in a uniform way.
Role Mapping
This term describes the activity that matches current employees to the roles that are in the PeopleSoft product. For example, if a person at college A is in charge of benefits, the specific CUNYfirst HR roles related to benefits will be assigned to them. When we learn what a person does, we make sure they have access to the processes that allow them to do their job.
Talent Acquisition Management. This is a Human Resources module that will take charge of our work to hire someone for an open position. Within TAM are processes that run functions that will allow us to have applicants apply on line, provide their information and make it available, also on line, to hiring managers and the search committees. Once a person is hired, their application information becomes their employee information, making the transition processes more efficient and effective.

Todd Branham is one fantastic race director. When he says he's going to put together one of the toughest stage races in the world, he means it. When he says that the winners are truly going to have earned their prizes, he means it. When he says that tomorrow's stage is going to be easier than today's, he is lying. Big time.
Stage 4 was just like many of the other stages. It started with a brutal climb and covered some of the East Coast's most technical trail networks. The difference was that there weren't fire road sections connecting one part to another. No, this stage was about 95% single track, which means that we had a tremendously slow average speed and took a mental drubbing to boot.
Before the stage started, everything was fine. Here's David signing in, as was our morning ritual:
Then the gun went off and we started out by riding the finishing stretch of each days' stage backwards – straight up Black Mountain.
After pedaling uphill for about 30 minutes, the trail really kicked skyward and we were forced off our GT Sensor 9rs (along with everyone else).
Up, up and away we went, to start what became the longest stretch between aid stations we had all week (over 2 and a half hours). David drained his Camelbak. Then we worked together to drain mine as well. By the time we came down the "stairs" to the first aid station we realized we were in for one long day.
We then had to tackle Squirrel Gap backwards (relative to the direction we rode it during stage 2). This was so mentally taxing that at one point, I fell off of the side of the trail, quite literally. Luckily, David was there to pull my bike back up onto the trail so I could climb back up myself (there was a bit of a drop).
About the only way to find inspiration out on the trails was to have 2 guys screaming and ringing cowbells in your ear, and luckily 2 local residents obliged on what they called "Hell Hill" (a nasty little climb that you had to power through if you didn't want an earful from the cowbell-ringers):
After a mere 7 hours and 30 minutes we crossed the finish line (since we rode "only" 38.27 miles today, that gave us a scintillating 5.1 mph average speed). Many riders behind us missed cut-off times on this stage and everyone agreed that it was the most physically and mentally challenging stage of the race so far.
How do you recover from something like that? Well, for starters, we split an XL "party size" pizza with numerous toppings and washed it down with Fat Tire Ale.
Follow up dinner by watching a podium presentation and a movie. Here Jeremiah Bishop takes top honors for winning the stage (in a mere 4 hours and 15 minutes).
Following the podium presentation, we watched Ride the Divide, a documentary about the ultra-endurance Tour Divide Race (it runs from Canada to Mexico) which features 7-time champion & Chapel Hill native Matt Lee, seen below introducing the movie:
Over 10,000 feet of climbing and about 10,000 calories of pizza consumption lead to another great night's sleep at our campsite with dreams (nightmares?) of Laurel Mountain running through our heads.
