December 2012 Nuts & Bolts Tech QuestionsPosted in How To on December 12, 2012
What's Dat Winch?!
Q I am from Pennsylvania and spent two years working near Price, Utah (of course I had to stop and hang out in Moab for a few days after the job was completed!). While there, I purchased an '85 CJ-7 set up for rockcrawling.
This Jeep was in such good condition, it caught my eye the first time it was parked on the side of the road. A couple days later it had a For Sale sign! I stopped to ask about it. After taking it for a spin I ran to the bank and it was mine.
The winch on this Jeep isn't one I have ever seen before. I subscribe to many mags and have never even seen it in any of them. All of the decals, markings, etc., are long gone.
I plan on replacing it since I can't ID this thing and have no idea who to send it out to for an update or anything. I can't even put it on Craigslist since I don't know what it is. Hopefully one of you knowledgeable folks can tell me what I have.

A What you have is an old Superwinch Ox winch. These were offered in the '80s as a competitor to the Warn 8274 upright winch. If it works I'd keep it. Superwinch has made some great products, and there is no reason to get rid of this if it's still working. In fact, the Superwinch rep told me this is a great winch and many people are still looking for them. The company no longer makes this winch, however, so finding replacement parts may not be easy. Although surely there is someone out there who has some old stock parts, they're not going to be easy to find.
If you decide to replace it, I'd recommend going to the winch it was designed against, the Warn 8274. I have run this winch for years, and it is a big beast of a winch.
Sideways Lockers
Q I have heard that having both axles locked with low traction and being off-camber can cause the vehicle to slide down slope, whereas if you leave the axles unlocked you have a tire acting like a rudder to keep from sliding down the hill. I'm going to build a budget 4x4 soon and wondering if the extra cost of selectable lockers is worth it for situations like this (I won't be using it much on the street, so I don't care much about their benefit there).
Kenny R.
Via firstname.lastname@example.com
A You are correct that a vehicle with low traction and front and rear locking differentials has a tendency to slide sideways on loose terrain in off-camber situations. This scenario isn't uncommon off-road, but there is more to it than just full-time lockers. The vehicle only slides sideways when the tires lose traction. A sustained slow climb with proper gearing and tire air pressure can often assist in traction, whereas high tire pressure and abusive throttle application can break the tires loose and send the vehicle sideways.
Selectable lockers are a great tool and something I am fond of recommending, but a full-time locker or spool can be just as effective, just requiring different driving styles. I think the best of both worlds may be a selectable rear and a full-time front. This allows the vehicle to be completely unlocked when on the road in rear-wheel 2WD, and partly or fully locked in 4WD. But this again is up to debate, as some drivers like all selectable lockers, some all full-time, and some front selectable and rear full-time.
Box or Ram?
Q I'm a Jeep fanatic and my newest adventure is a '51 Willys truck. I'm having a hard time figuring out the steering. I believe that it's the original Ross steering box. The box is located toward the rear of the front axle with a large arm that pushes/pulls. The arm runs next to the tire and rubs at full turn. The most common upgrade that I have seen is to overbuild the front of the frame and use a Saginaw-style box. If you had the option of either putting the work into a Saginaw-style steering or using hydraulic steering, what would you prefer? If I understand hydraulic steering correctly it takes the torque away from the frame because it uses the rams on the axle. Is this correct?
Via email@example.com
A Your original steering gear is mounted to the inside of the driver's framerail behind the front axle. The sector shaft goes through the frame and forward to a bellcrank arm on the bottom of the driver-side steering knuckle. These systems get worn steering ends and can interfere (rub) on the tire at full left turn lock if you're running larger than stock tires.
There are a few different options for upgrading your steering: front-mounted manual steering box, front-mounted power steering box, front-mounted power steering box with ram assist, and finally you could go with full hydraulic steering.
If you are considering going to the front-mounted manual steering, all you are really gaining is clearance for the tire at full lock. Not a bad thing, but not worth the effort if you ask me.
I would recommend going to a power steering setup. This will make your Willys much more enjoyable to drive, and companies offer kits for mounting the new box on the front frame horns as well as plumbing and pump mounting on the engine.
If you are going to large enough tires that your front Dana 25 axle may begin to suffer carnage, but you still want to drive it on the street, then a steering box with ram assist is probably your best option. I'm talking about 37-inch or larger, and by this point you'll be looking for a stronger axle and frame and upgraded suspension.
I feel that full hydraulic steering is best suited for off-road use only, such as dedicated buggies and mud trucks. I know some 4x4 drivers have full hydro and run it on the street, but I and many of the steering aftermarket suppliers do not recommend full hydro for the street. Yes, it does remove much of the steering torque from the frame and the Willys had quite low-strength frames to start with compared to modern frames, but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle it brings in the form of odd on-road driving. It is easy to install, as you just need to mount a pump to the engine, an orbital valve on the frame at the end of your steering column, and the ram on the axle from housing to tie rod, plus all the appropriate plumbing and fluid reservoir and cooler. Ease of installation doesn't constitute the best option in my view.
Excursion or SAS?
Q I have a '99 AWD Ford Expedition and a set of axles out of a '99 Ford F-350. I was hoping to find a way to put these axles under the Expedition. I noticed that there were no kits or mention of doing the conversion on any Ford. Can you tell me why? I have four kids and need a vehicle that can accommodate six people. I am hoping to build a vehicle with a wheelbase close to 120 inches. I would also like to use my Super Duty axles, as they are already geared and locked and paid for. I would prefer to build the Expedition, as I have owned and maintained it since new and it fits all the other criteria I am looking for. But I would opt for a substitute vehicle if the Expedition is deemed too impractical for the conversion. Any advice you can provide me would be greatly appreciated.
I also realize that the transfer case, drivelines, etc., would have to be replaced and or modified. I have budgeted $10,000 for this project. This amount is all for the conversion and does not include the cost (if necessary) of a different vehicle. I really need some good knowledgeable advice.
Via email@example.com
A I see no issue with your doing the solid axle swap on your Expedition, though I would recommend finding a part-time transfer case to replace the all-wheel-drive one, most likely from an F-150. There have been solid axle swaps on these before, and most involve some sort of custom leaf spring hangers or a custom linked suspension with coils or coilover shocks. The leaf springs will probably be cheaper, but when you add up a new set of driveshafts, steering, the new case, and the labor to put it all under your Expedition along with new tires and wheels, you may be heading into a big project and I think your $10,000 will be spent pretty quickly. I'm not saying don't do it, but if you're a hardcore Ford guy and you need all that room I'd take a moment and search for a 4x4 Excursion first. I think you could find one for around $10,000 and it will already have big axles under it.

September/October 2007
Nothing could be more boring than statistics and numbers. But no matter if you're reading or hearing them, there is no best way to best understand the scope of an epidemic. It's important to get a grasp of the numbers of people with HIV so that we can inform policy, economic and political decisions that can eventually change the scope of an epidemic.
Epidemiology is the study of disease in human populations. We think of it as numbers and statistics that can tell us where and when people are impacted or infected and basically anything you might want to know about a disease or disease characteristic.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the federal agency that collects statistics on all diseases in the United States, and publishes the data in order to inform policy and health care decisions. Check out the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/hiv. Unfortunately, the data is not necessarily timely. HIV/AIDS information is not released every year by the CDC, so other sources may be useful, such as local health departments or other smaller analyses being performed by different localities or universities.
In 2005, the most current CDC analysis, almost three quarters of HIV cases were in men, the rest in women (no counting of transgender people), and 67% of those men are men who have sex with men (MSM). Blacks account for almost half of infections in 2005 yet are only 13% of the U.S. population. Whites account for 31%; Hispanics are 18%. Asian/Pacific Islander and American Indian/Alaskan Native account for 1% each.
According to HIV/AIDS surveillance (a close watch, examination, or inspection) data, AIDS cases have remained stable for the past 10 years in the U.S., the most being seen in urban areas. (CDC defines urban as greater than 500,000 population.) The South is seeing the highest numbers of newly reported AIDS cases, as we have been hearing. Blacks are the highest proportion of AIDS cases in urban areas but not in the rest of the country, where the cases are about the same in white and black. More than half of cumulative AIDS cases have been in males who have had male-to-male sexual contact. Of great concern is that women are almost twice as likely to have been infected by high-risk males and not through injection drug use.
40% of the AIDS cases reported in 2005 were among adults age 35 to 44 years at their time of diagnosis. Nearly 23% were among adults age 25 to 34 years, and an additional 24% were among adults age 45 to 54 years. Eight percent of cases in each category were among adults age 55 years and older at diagnosis, and 5% in persons younger than 25.
The good news is what you'd expect to see in an epidemic where effective treatments became available, yet prevention efforts need to be strengthened. The numbers of HIV/AIDS cases is increasing as people are living longer while AIDS mortality (death) has decreased. More people are getting tested, which also may explain the rising numbers of cases.
But what about the rest of the world where 90% of all HIV/AIDS exists? The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 39.5 million people living with HIV. 65% of new cases are occurring in sub-Saharan Africa while in Eastern Europe and Central Asia cases have risen by 50% since 2004. These estimates might not include people who may be more difficult to be identified due to stigma and denial. In 2006, 2.9 million people died of AIDS-related illnesses.
The global pandemic (widespread epidemic affecting many countries) continues to grow and some countries that had stabilized or saw declining rates may now be seeing a resurgence. However, there are declines in other countries and now treatment is scaling up in places where the epidemic was raging unabated. (Check out the WHO website for country by country statistics, www.who.int/en.)
There are many other websites with epidemiological information. The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation website is another great place to retrieve and decipher epidemiological information, www.kff.org/hivaids/index.cfm. Universities such as Johns Hopkins (www.hopkins-aids.edu) and the University of California at San Francisco (www.hivinsite.org) have great informational HIV/AIDS websites, including the statistics. Don't forget, the Internet search engine Google is an extensive -- though somewhat overwhelming -- place to look for further information. A basic rule of thumb, however, is that the CDC and WHO have the most credible stats, and most other organizations and agencies use their numbers to report to their clients and to develop strategies around prevention and care.
Knowing a few statistics on HIV and AIDS can help inform us and those who know little to nothing about HIV. Just be sure you interpret the information correctly and check other resources for clarifying data. Being familiar with the aforementioned websites can keep you in touch with all the most current HIV/AIDS epidemiological information. Staying informed on all the numbers is crucial in understanding the tragedy and the achievement that is AIDS.

Tin cans, greyhounds, or destroyers—by whatever name, these fast, deadly ships are among the most fascinating vessels in U.S. Navy history. In this issue, we highlight aspects of their service and explore their century-long evolution from limited-mission vessels to the most versatile ships in the U.S. fleet.
Our lead-off article is by one of the most talented and prestigious writers ever to appear in Naval History : John Steinbeck. Best known for his novels portraying the struggles of the downtrodden, Steinbeck spent several months in 1943 reporting on the war from England and the Mediterranean. He saw action during a two-week period in September 1943 when he was with Special Operations Task Group 80.4, a multinational unit that included the destroyer USS Knight (DD-633), a Dutch gunboat, and a Royal Navy motor torpedo boat flotilla. Steinbeck quickly became friends with the group's operations officer, Lieutenant Douglas Fairbanks Jr., U.S. Naval Reserve, and the author accompanied the actor on several swashbuckling adventures off the Italian coast. Steinbeck chronicled the task group's operations in heavily censored dispatches for the New York Herald Tribune, one of which is devoted to "the destroyer X" (the Knight ) and her destroyermen and is featured in this issue.
David W. McComb, who brought the Steinbeck article to my attention, wrote two of our other destroyer articles. With "Indispensable in Every Operation," Dave is able to skillfully cover the history of U.S. destroyers—from the Bainbridge class to the Arleigh Burkes—in a dozen pages. " Destroyers at Tokyo Bay [3] " illuminates a relatively little-known chapter of destroyer history: the ships' operations in conjunction with the official Japanese surrender on board the USS Missouri (BB-63). The final article in our tin-can package comes courtesy of the Naval Institute. It's an except from Navy Rear Admiral Jackson K. Parker's USNI oral history in which the destroyerman reminisces about the discomforts of life on board his first ship, the USS Mervine (DD-489), during World War II.
While a famous writer's article leads off this issue of Naval History , an acclaimed early American poet's verse is featured in another. In " The 'Horrors of These Hulks [4] ,'" Dr. Robert E. Cray recounts how during the Revolutionary War Philip Freneau used his formidable poetic talents to condemn Britain for the conditions on board its prison ships and to call attention to the fact that the prisoners who died in them were buried in haste and without ceremony.
Another article in this issue is sure to raise the eyebrows of some Marine readers. In it, Dr. James C. Bradford argues that during the early decades of the 20th century the U.S. Navy and the Marine Corps virtually ignored the study of expeditionary warfare [5] . This article is the third paper Naval History has published from the 2005 Annapolis Naval History Symposium. Please check the Naval Institute's Web site for updates on the 2006 history conference [6] .
One final staffing note. For the past several years, Karen Eskew has been the person most responsible for ensuring that Naval History is gracefully designed and assembled and printed on time. After she departed the Naval Institute several weeks ago, we found her replacement in our own house. I'm happy to announce that Faith Stewart, formerly Naval History 's senior designer, has been promoted to director of design and production.

Girl dies after Central Texas go-kart wreck
Investigators say a go-kart wreck on private property in Roundtop has killed an 11-year-old girl from the Houston area.
The Fayette County Sheriff's Office on Monday announced a Tomball girl died following the accident near Round Top. Lt. David Beyer (byr) declined to immediately release the victim's name.
Beyer says the girl was riding on property owned by her grandparents around 5 p.m. Sunday when she wanted to make one more round. Beyer says the child's parents became concerned when she didn't return and they discovered the accident scene.
The girl was taken to St. Marks Medical Center in La Grange where she was pronounced dead.
Round Top is about 75 miles east of Austin.

I finally got Garmont Vetta hike boots, still looking for the holy grail of LIGHT (say 2.5 lbs) boots that offer enough support for boulder-hopping, and have soles that will take rigid crampons yet are good enough for class 4 rock. The Vetta hikes do OK in the stiffness department, and allow me to ascend moderate snow slopes with strap-on crampons and some confidence. The soles are definitely not very sticky, but not too bad.
But they have goretex liners. After a hard day, my feet are wet with their own sweat, even if I change socks a few times.
Does anyone make light, stiff-soled boots that do NOT have goretex liners? My boots tend to get wet only when I am on snow, and I can use berghaus-type over-the-boot (but not sole) gaiters for that situation.
It seems to me that goretex in leather/fabric boots is highly over-rated -- but every manufacturer is using it these days.

I've been thinking a lot about a blog post that fellow BDN blogger Matt Gagnon penned a few weeks ago about why he, as a young professional, moved away from Maine to live in DC. He makes great points and I agree with all of them.
But I feel compelled to say it, and perhaps even more so about writing a post about how hard staying fit has been after my move here: I love living in Bangor, Maine. I am really, really excited to be living in Bangor, Maine in 2013. I'm really excited about where this city is going. And I think we can do more to attract my generation to this state.
A few weeks ago marked the day that I had called Maine home longer than I hadn't. My family moved to Bangor from Philadelphia when I was 14. Bangor was my "ancestral home:" my dad had grown up here and my grandfather had been a public figure in his day. I lived in a major metropolitan area long enough to know what I was missing out on when I left and I spent a lot of my late adolescence lamenting about what I could not do in Bangor rather than appreciating what I could.
The quiet, plodding tempo of Maine life is something I wouldn't come to appreciate until I was much older, having spent a summer living in Quebec City in college and another summer living in Fort Lauderdale after college. I like living here because I like how patient and unassuming most people are. There isn't the pressure to spend lots of money to impress friends, or the anxiety of spending 2 hours in traffic to commute, and at heart, I'm as outdoorsy a girl as they come.
Change doesn't come quickly here, but I've seen time and time again, patient optimism rewarded. We have a beautiful convention center, a vibrant economy at the mall and on outer Broadway, (for better or for worse) an impressive casino, an improving downtown scene and a wonderful riverwalk. It's not the Bangor I moved to 14 years ago.
Maine's best selling point is that its beautiful. I walk out my door and … adventure. It's there. Since I took up skiing I don't even dread the winter. I even might have caught myself this summer at times wishing for ski season again. 😉
So that's Maine. Let's talk about Bangor.
I lived away from Bangor for the last five years. At the time, I felt like I was reading an endless parade of good news about what was going on in this city. Emily seemed to have yet another breathless post about something awesome going on in town. Waterfront concerts. The Kahbang! festival. Five Guys. Every time I went back to visit I could see something new coming in.
When I moved back, my perspective shifted and I realized why Bangor's proponents bang the gong so loudly: It's isolated up here. Few people come this far north without a reason to do so. We need to keep giving them reasons.
I waited so long to respond to Matt's post because the honest truth is that I came back to Bangor because I have a great job here. While walking the streets that my great-grandparents courted each other on holds a certain cache, or being able to have my brother and sister over for impromptu dinner parties is important to me, the reason why I live here is because I have a great career here. It's my dream job, and it's working with a company that's really made an earnest effort to find places for bright young people that want to revolutionize this industry.
But I know that's not reality for everyone. One of my best friends is moving from Bangor to Boston this week because it's the right thing for his career. Many of my friends who stayed in Maine have struggled to find salaries that can cover their student loan payments.
I don't think the answer to the economy problem is simple. It's one of the challenges we're trying to address in the MaineFocus project. But once you can make your career here, there are a lot of great things about living here. And while I think its great if more of my classmates stick around, economists say what we really need to do is recruit more young people here.
And to that end, as a 28-year-old observer, here's what I see that we need to do:
- Encourage diversity. This might be an unpopular thing to say, but I'm going to go ahead and say it: I don't think Maine is as far ahead in issues of diversity and race as we'd like to think. Comparatively to other states, Maine hasn't had much experience with these issues, and xenophobia is often passed off as naïveté. We need to welcome outsiders, and culturally that has come hard to us.
- Recruit more out of state students. Our best tool for introducing young capable people to the state of Maine is through our universities. UMaine attendance for out-of-state students now costs almost $40K per year, nearly twice what an in-state student pays. I don't know how this compares to other state universities because I am still busy picking my jaw up off the floor at how much tuition has gone up since I was choosing a college to attend 10 years ago.
- Fortify social networks. We're never going to have the cultural or restaurant scene that Matt describes in his post like Washington DC. But it doesn't have to feel so lonely and isolated. To that end I really enjoyed working with the Young Professionals of Lewiston Auburn (YPLAA) on the Y-Not project, which was designed to bring young people together in a scavenger hunt of things around the community. I know that Bangor has Fusion, too. These organizations provide that critical link between young people that are finding their roots into a community, and I'm glad to be a part of them.
I don't have all the answers. I just want to say that I'm proud to live in Bangor and I think this conversation is critical to our future.

2012 Melges 24 World Championship - Here Come The Corinthians
24 July 2012
Torbole, Italy - 23 July 2012 - Along with the fight for the overall title, that will involve at least ten very strong crews and a good number of outsiders, the 2012 Melges 24 World Championship in Torbole, the stage will also be set for another battle: the one aimed at the conquest of the Corinthian title.
Always much coveted, the Corinthian competition, for the non-professional crews, represents an added value: the Corinthians, sometimes capable of performance very similar to those of the professionals, may point to the double success. As usual, the Corinthians will race within the overall fleet, but their results will be scored as a separate competition (i.e., first Corinthian may finish 13th on the water, but he will score 1 point in the Corinthian results, second Corinthian may finish 19 on the water, but he will score 2 Corinthian points, and so on).
During the Torbole's Melges 24 Worlds (July 28th-August 4th), the entry list will count 65 Corinthian crews coming from 17 Nations - a record for the International Melges 24 Class Association - but will not include the defending champion Eachiro Hamazaki, who won the title in Corpus Christi in May 2011. Among the favorites to the win there are Storm Capital Sail Racing, helmed by the solid Norwegian skipper Peter Oivynd, former Corinthian World Champion in 2008 and 2010, the Estonian brothers Tomas and Tonu Toniste sailing Lenny, who won the World title in Hyeres in 2006 and became European Corinthian Champions in Neaustadt (2007) and Aarhus (2011), and their countrymen of Rock City, the Melges 24 owned by Tiit Vihul. Italy can count on a couple of crews that have been showing great consistency lately: Pensavo Peggio di Beppe Zavanone and Alessio Marinelli, fresh from their success in the Corinthian grouping of the Italian Volvo Melges 24 Cup 2012, and SIV Arborea helmed by Lorenzo Gemini, who finished second in the same competition.
All eyes are also on the Californian Robert Harf, one of America's leading Corinthian skippers, who will be debuting in the Old Continent aboard his USA-77, and Michael Good, helmsman of Swiss Team Holcim, the third force in the Corinthian Volvo Cup 2012.
Events like the 2012 Melges 24 World Championship are not possible without the most generous support of the event sponsors led by the Municipality of Comune di Nago Torbole and including the Regional Authority of Trentino; TrentoDoc, partner of Circolo Vela Torbole whose excellent selection of sparkling wines will be enjoyed by all; Trentingrana, whose cheese is made using milk exclusively from the Trentino area; InGarda, the touristic company supporting visitors to Lark Garda; and technical sailing clothing supplier Marinepool.
Organised by Circolo Vela Torbole in collaboration with the International Melges 24 Class Association, the 2012 Melges 24 World Championship will count a maximum of twelve races, with up to three daily races. Five races are required to made the event valid, although the famous weather conditions, typical of the northern Garda, should make this rule unnecessary.

The 2012 Melges 24 World Championship will run from 27 to 4 August.

In Boston, tucked away among the tightly bunched houses and mom and pop stores in the Savin Hill neighborhood of this historic city is an old, red-brick schoolhouse where students who once would fall in the cracks between academic achievement and economic opportunity are seizing their chance to succeed.
Cristo Rey High School Boston is part of a network of 26 high schools from Portland, Oregon, to Brooklyn, New York, that educate mostly minority students living in poverty by having them pay their way through internships with prominent companies where some find post-college careers.
"We tell them, 'There are no shortcuts to success. You are smart, and we will teach you to learn and to think. But you have to put in the time,'" said Jeffrey Thielman, one of the founders of the Cristo Rey network of schools and now president of the Boston school. "This has grown from a Jesuit concept to educate kids. We are Catholic college prep schools that use an innovative work-study program to educate students and prepare them for college ... exclusively serving low-income students."
The first Cristo Rey high school opened in southwest Chicago in 1997. This was in response from Jesuits to students from the area, predominantly Mexican-American, dropping out of school and the plea from parents to give their children a chance to become well-educated and work in a profession. Father John Foley was there from day one and wondered why no one was educating the poor children of the neighborhood.
Today, Father Foley is struck by the education boomlet his Catholic high schools are experiencing in contrast to the downward trend in diocesan high schools.
"There is more at work than meets the eye; it is the Lord's work," said Father Foley, the first president of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago and now chairman emeritus of the network's board of directors. "It is out of control; we can't keep up. We have people calling all the time asking us to open a Cristo Rey school in their community. It is a gift from God, and it keeps going and going."
The high schools function as selective prep schools looking for students with "grit," according to Thielman, who oversaw the start-up of 24 Cristo Rey high schools. The schools also function as job-placement agencies. Four students are on a rotation at a private company to create the equivalent of a single full-time employee, taking each student out of the classroom five days a month. The companies pay the school's in-house placement service for the students' work hours. In Boston, that amounts to 60 percent of the high school's revenue — $2.55 million. The balance of the revenue comes from fundraising efforts.
The students work in the health care industry, law firms, insurance companies and other businesses where they handle office work, reception areas and online customer service — really the nuts and bolts of American business, where showing up to work on time, following directions from supervisors, dressing appropriately and conducting oneself in a professional manner is expected.
"The average family income for our students is $24,000 a year," Thielman said. "We want families to get accustomed to paying, so they receive a bill of $1,100 a year that they have to pay."
Naomi Pinales, a 15-year-old junior, heard about Cristo Rey two years ago when she was a freshman at South Boston High School and struggling as one of the few Hispanic students in the majority black school population. The school gave her hope, and she has not been disappointed.
"I heard Cristo Rey was a good school with a lot of Hispanic people, and I was experiencing a lot of discrimination because I am not black and they made of fun of the way I talked, my accent," Pinales said. "I used to skip school when it was my turn to talk in front of the class. At first it was tough coming here; they give us a lot of work, and that is good because they are getting us ready for college. I hope to study communications and work on television as a reporter or an anchor."
Yuliza Valentin, 16, also a junior, followed her big brother to Cristo Rey. Her mother hoped to send her two other children to one of two Catholic high schools nearby, but when she lost her job, she turned again to Cristo Rey.
"I'm the type of person who easily adapts to places," said Valentin, a member of the softball and volleyball teams at school and on the prom committee. "If you want to come here, be ready to work hard. This is not a school for lazy people. They will push you here because they want you to be successful, make the most of your time here."
After teaching math at Cristo Rey for 11 years, Jill Crowley was promoted to principal for academics. She is proud that Cristo Rey High School Boston's students have a 100 percent acceptance rate to college. Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts, boasts the same figure. Crowley said the school is looking for a certain kind of student.
"We have to see a glimmer in them, and that glimmer is different for each student," she said. "We want to help them get gritty in school and in the workplace."
It takes students with "the right stuff" to make the Cristo Rey system work, she said.
"If we want to close the achievement gap, we want our kids to be ready so they can have the options to place them in position to have the opportunities to succeed," Crowley said.
Besides academics and workplace experience, "we do a lot of work through our counseling department," she added. "All the students leaving our school have an action plan and follow-up from us, as well."
Nationwide, 90 percent of Cristo Rey graduates enroll in college, 250 of whom were accepted at the top 100 national universities and colleges. Eighty-nine percent of Cristo Rey alums enrolled at a college partner institution have graduated or are on track to graduate. Cristo Rey high schools send their students to 1,800 corporate work study programs and "36 religious sponsors and endorsers assure that each school is Catholic in identity and mission," according to the network's 2013 annual report.
At St. Martin de Porres High School in Cleveland, the impact of the school on the near-east side of downtown where lower income families reside "has been tremendous," said Caitlin McDermott, director of the annual fund and special events. A new building is planned in the neighborhood to house the school, which is now located in a former elementary school.
McDermott said the proof of the impact in the majority black neighborhood is that 80 percent of its alumni go directly into college and 30 percent are graduating on time. "Which is pretty good when the national average is 11 percent," she said.
The enrollment is 85 percent black with Caucasian, mixed race and Hispanic students comprising the rest of the student population, she said.
The study body at De La Salle North Catholic High School in Portland, Oregon, is 43 percent African American, 35 percent Latino, 15 percent multi-racial and about 7 percent Caucasian, said school president Matt Powell. He also noted his graduates — 45 percent of whom graduate from college in five years, far above the national rate — are making an impact in their communities.
"Some are coming back to Portland to work in businesses there, some at the same businesses where they were work-study during high school," Powell said. "We have one graduate who is in admissions in our Philadelphia school and another graduate working in our New York City school.
"The goal is to change their destiny and to end the cycle of poverty in their community," he said. "This year we have one girl at De La Salle who has been accepted by three Ivy League schools and another graduate accepted at Columbia. They are making their marks."

So I need to put a hole in it....Just about....There.
Then I need to taper this bit sort of.....
Funny day today.
Little actually nicked the book I was reading. Usually hes got an allergy to books.
Then Big decided that today was one of his best ever days!
Unfortunately, hes decided not to tell anyone what happened, so I cant share.
I managed to find some peace and quiet.
Till a piggin deer crashed through and woke me up.
I told the kids I needed some peace and quiet, so they robbed me and started looking up bus timetables.
Seems they want to know if its raining in Weymouth.
Huh! Bill guessed, I got it wrong.
Little saved up dozens of coke bottles until he had enough to fill up all his tanks.
Then er....carefully fitted the covers.
Looks like Im going to run out of stainless screws again soon.
I havent been brave enough to check just what sort of rubbish hes been collecting for his boat.
He says its important though.
And then he fitted a lot more inspection hatches - this time without screwing them down first.
Another tube of my sealant! Grrr...

Abraham Lincoln once said, "My greatest concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure."
For Lipscomb baseball player, Matt Schnelly, the road to success had never come easily. Schnelly began his baseball career at the age of ten, perhaps a little later than most. Because he was always big for his age, Schnelly spent his early years in Little League, mostly in the outfield before taking on first base.
At the age of 14, Schnelly made his first All Star team. A year later, he qualified and played in a tournament in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
"Throughout the years Matt sat the bench many times, but I encouraged him to keep his head up and keep working hard," Matt's mother, Linda Schnelly said. "He learned to sit the bench and cheer on his team as well as how to both win and lose gracefully."
After trying out for the JV baseball team at Santaluces High School in Lantana, FL, as a freshman and getting cut, a determined Schnelly approached the head coach and asked what it would take for him to make the team the following season. The coach's response was simple: velocity.
Intent on improving, Schnelly then met with his former Recreational League coach, Jimmy Breslin, who put him on a work out program and placed him on three travel teams that year. When Schnelly returned for tryouts as a Sophomore he had grown a foot and made the team as a first basemen. That season he played every game at first, never missing an out.
As a Junior, Schnelly was promoted to the Varsity team, this time as a pitcher. He threw only eight innings that year, all in relief. The summer after his junior season, Schnelly played American Legion and worked with former Montreal Expos pitcher, Jeff Fisher, on his pitching skills.
When Schnelly returned for his Senior season, the number one and two pitchers on the team had been injured, and Schnelly, the inexperienced pitcher who had never started on a regular basis was thrust into the role of staff ace. It was role in which he excelled, winning 10 of 11 games.
However, before Schnelly had even thrown a pitch during his Senior season, he caught the eye of Broward Community College, head coach, Bob Deutschman, at an FAU baseball clinic and was signed to a full scholarship.
After his freshman year at Broward Community College, Schnelly began volunteering as an American Legion Post 164 Coach. For the next three summers he taught high school freshmen and sophomores to pitch the way he had been taught.
Schnelly signed with Lipscomb as a junior and finished his first season as a Bison leading the team in innings pitched (96) and strikeouts (91).
Now, with the Bisons 4-1 loss to Gardner-Webb in the conference tournament on Friday, May 25, 2007, Schnelly's collegiate career is over and he is preparing for what he hopes will be the next big step; professional baseball.
With several MLB teams interested in the Bisons' big 6'8" right-hander, the Lipscomb baseball program may have their second player drafted in as many seasons, after Tadd Brewer was drafted by the Anaheim Angels last year. Schnelly's teammates ,Casey Bond and John King, may draw scouts' interests as well.
Schnelly was once told by his high school coach that he would first need to increase his velocity to become a member of the Santaluces High School baseball team. At full stride during his collegiate career, scouts clocked Schnelly as high as 98-99 mph, one scout clocking Schnelly at 100 mph twice in the same game.
The 22-year-old right-hander, who will be intently watching the television screen when the MLB draft is aired on ESPN for the first time on Thursday, June 7, is a far cry from the young kid who did not make his high school baseball team.
Although his talent had never been in question it was his additional hard work that allowed Schnelly to overcome his early obstacles and evolve into the pitcher he is today. And with his collegiate career now over, and his sights now turned to the approaching MLB draft, Schnelly is hoping his baseball career is only beginning.
For Schnelly, seven years have passed since he did not make his high school JV team, and both nothing and everything has changed. He is still the baseball player who has to work hard for his every success and who is still not detoured by the impending obstacles in his path. But he is no longer the player who struggled to make his high school team, but the pitcher whose hard work transformed him into a staff ace.
For Schnelly it is as Frank Lloyd Wright once said, "I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen."

The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has lapsed ten times since Sept. 30, 2008. Each lapse has delayed closings and caused considerable uncertainty for buyers, sellers and lenders. These disruptions cost title and escrow businesses', lenders', and consumers' time, money and unnecessary worry.
Congress will consider a long term extension of NFIP on the House floor this Thursday, July 7th. Lend your voice and help avoid the costly delays of a repeat lapse of NFIP.
Contact your Members of Congress today to let them know that you strongly support a long-term, sustainable extension of NFIP.
Thank you for taking action!
Fannie Mae will retroactively charge mortgage servicers for failing to process severely aged loans.
The government-sponsored enterprise sent an alert to servicers in the first quarter of 2011, saying it would issue fees going forward. But last week, under guidance from its regulator the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Fannie alerted servicers it would levy fines for actions taken – or in this case not taken – in 2010.

The Form 9 series of endorsements provide some valuable coverages for lenders and owners, over and above what is covered by the basic title policy. And it takes additional work and examination in order to underwrite and issue. That's why they carry a 10% additional premium in Florida.
So we wanted to reiterate what we have all been taught over the years. That when you are taking exceptions to the coverages provided in any of the form 9 series of endorsements -- the exception must be express, not simply a general reference to "covenants recorded in O.R. Book ...." (after all, if that general exception worked, the Form 9 wouldn't provide any meaningful coverage).
Although less detailed exceptions might be upheld by the courts, the better practice -- where the Declaration of Condominium or restrictive covenants include a payment requirement or a right of first refusal or any of the other matters covered by the version of form 9 you plan to issue -- is to first take the general exception for the Declaration, then spell out that it includes the specific item (ideally with a page number reference for the offending matter), and then to expressly state that coverage under any form 9 endorsements is not available for this matter.
Each underwriter has their own standards and suggested language for taking exceptions to form 9 coverage.
Please take a few minutes to refresh yourself as to the coverages being provided under Form 9, and check with your underwriter as to their preferred language for exceptions and the search and examination standards you are expected to follow when writing on that company.

The United States Justice Department will have their day in court against Apple -- but they'll have to wait for June 3, 2013 to do it. If you're joining this story in-progress, the U.S. government has accused Apple of anti-competitive practices and collision with book publishers to "boost the prices of ebooks". Apple claims they're fighting to keep the market free from Amazon dominance.
Amazon Inc, which makes the Kindle e-reader, had long sold e-books for as little as $9.99. The government complaint quoted Apple's late co-founder Steve Jobs as wanting to offer publishers a means to boost prices, and "create a real mainstream e-books market at $12.99 and $14.99."
Apple argues it has not conspired with anyone or fixed prices for e-books in an effort to thwart Amazon's dominance of that fast-growing market. Apple says that its foray into e-books has actually fueled demand for e-books by forcing Amazon and rivals, including Barnes & Noble Inc, to compete more aggressively, including by upgrading e-reader technology.
I'm wondering why the U.S. government isn't suing over HD movie prices as well. Because, damn.

The season's crop of floral prints is blooming as fresh and varied as a field of spring wildflowers.
At Marni, Consuelo Castiglioni's collision of checks and chrysanthemum prints on roomy skirts and tops is reminiscent of Scandinavian modern design, while the bold cherry blossoms and daisies on Miuccia Prada's boxy dresses and pants make for a Far East-inspired, 1960s Pop art look.
In California, growing conditions are always right for beachy floral sportswear and gear, such as Aviator Nation's hibiscus-print "Surf Safari" sweat shirts, the new Stubbs & Wootton leafy-print, rope-sole espadrille slippers for Brooks Brothers' Black Fleece offshoot, and the perfect boardwalk ride, Didi Dunphy's skateboard with vinyl zinnia graphics.
But flowers are also flourishing in darker places. Exhibit 1: Chanel's killer black leather high-top kicks covered in a bouquet of camellia blooms. Talk about flower power.

Flooring and surfacing products reveiw.
Whether you're building a new facility or renovating your existing one, a lot of emphasis is placed on the color of the walls and what your front desk will look like. But don't forget about what's underneath you. The flooring you choose should be given a lot of thought, too. For example, if you put down flooring in your weight room that can't take a lot of abuse, you'll be replacing it in a few years.
For the most part, there is a different kind of flooring for every room of your facility, such as the weight room, aerobics room, locker room, front desk area, hallways, racquetball courts, etc. There is a lot of diversity in color, shape, size and function. Which one is right for you depends on what you're looking for and your budget. The following is just a small overview of what's available in the market.
Airex mats are made of a closed-cell specialty foam that resists bottoming out. They are warm and comfortable to the touch. These mats will not absorb water or fluids, and are sanitized, a treatment that inhibits the attack of bacteria, which shortens the effective life of most foam mats, according to company officials. These lightweight mats roll up easily, may be used inside or outdoors, and can be cleaned with soap and warm water.

SoftPave rubber paving system easily handles the weight of any machine and absorbs the repeated dropping of heavy weights without tearing, denting or cracking, the company claims. The 1-inch-thick rubber tiles protect the subfloor and reduce impact noise. SoftPave is developed completely from recycled materials, and is available in five colors and two surface patterns.

The Exerflex Aerobic Floor System is designed of three components. The wood surface is made of 7/8-inch beech hardwood and is prefinished with three coats of an aerobic traction polyurethane. The boards meet at a tongue-and-groove joint and are held together by a spring steel clip, which allows the floor to flex along this joint upon impact and then spring back into place. At the point of impact, the .75-inch foam underlayment beneath the wood-and-clip assembly absorbs the shock of the participant's impact on the floor and dissipates the resultant energy, notes the company.

Linear Rubber Products
Linear Rubber Gymatts are available in green, blue, gray or black. These 48-by-72-by-5/8-inch rubber mats absorb the impact of both free weights and the demands of exercise equipment. The surface has a raised button, nonskid traction pattern that works under dry and wet conditions. Tiny nubs on the underside act as an anti-fatigue cushion, provide sound-absorbing qualities and allow air to circulate freely. Made of natural vulcanized rubber, Gymatts won't crack, peel or crumble, and won't absorb moisture, states the company.

Linray Enterprises Inc.
Linray's Score PT Mats instantly transform any hard surface into an aerobic studio. The panels interlock quickly for a fast installation or may be left down permanently. According to company officials, the solid eva foam is shock-absorbing while allowing the feet to move laterally without sticking. The panels measure 40 by 40 by 7/8 inches and weigh about 10 pounds each. They are available in blue, gray, red, white, black and green.

A lot of the sounds of the game could also do with being turned off. The crowd can get very grating on the ear drums. At times, you will wonder if the crowd is cheering for you or punishing some stray animal they found on the street before the game. Either way, it becomes less and less enjoyable with the games you play--much like the announcers.
At times, the announcers are enjoyable to listen to, with such great comments as "Nice feet," "Wonderful foot control," and "There needs to be a better description for that goal," but then there are things so indiscernible you will find yourself wondering if you were just made fun of or complimented. Much like the graphics occasionally looking flat but impressive, the announcers can deliver dialogue that sometimes works but mostly just feels flat and uninspired.
Thankfully, the controls do come across as being enjoyably easy to comprehend for new players; though, there is a curve designed to get you knee deep into refining how you will play the game. The major problem in controls comes from the menus in the game. While playing, I often felt the menus were daunting. I can only assume new players picking this game up will feel overcome by the menu layout and unique lingo as well.
PES 2014 may not be the game that has the biggest advertisers, or the official licensing of the sport, but there is something very special and riveting about it. When other franchises are changing things just to change them, PES is holding onto tradition and, as any "Hooligan" will tell you, tradition matters most.

Bequia, St Vincent and the Grenadines. 35 feet of sea water on sand. I found quite an explosion of these tiny (1cm at most) black things. They seemed to be in couples and if they bumped into each other they would disappear under sand together and then reappear after a few seconds. I saw them at the same date and place last year. Help with identification please! This overexposed image showed their outline up the best so apologies for wierd photo!

Dan Glickman's Next Strategy: Blame The Technology
from the brilliant dept
The Dan Glickman reign over the MPAA just gets sillier and sillier. Glickman started out by basically keeping Jack Valenti's basic story with a few minor modifications. However, since then, he's shown himself to not only have almost zero real vision for the movie industry, but to have a way with words that makes him sound particularly clueless about the industry he's supposed to be representing. There was the initial plan that maybe if he begged hard enough people would stop sharing movies online. Then there was the oh-so-brilliant plan to make the MPAA a bit more like the IRS -- perhaps the most hated organization in the US. So, rather than making the movie industry an industry people love and cherish, he wants to make them hated and feared. To continue on this trend, he's now doing his best to make sure we realize how little he understands about technology. He's making some news for blaming BitTorrent for the leak of the latest Star Wars film that we mentioned last week. Perhaps he should be blaming movie industry insiders more than a neutral technology used to distribute the film.
