Don's Place in Protection has been serving up tasty meals for 40 years.
You won't find many places these days in Kansas—or America, for that matter—where you can sit down at a lunch counter next to a complete stranger and get to know him or her a little better before your order arrives.
Don's Place in Protection is one of the few.
I had the good fortune of sitting down next to Marvin Maris, who was born and raised in the community and spent all but eight of his 82 years in Protection. Three of those eight years, incidentally, were served in the Korean War of the 1950s.
"I just love this place," he said, claiming that it's the "best place to eat in the world." He admits he may be a little biased, as Don is married to his niece. "I'm related to just about everybody in town," he added.
With a nod of his head, Marvin indicated the multiple tickets clothes-pinned to a wire line where Don busily cooked meals. "Those tickets are like that all the time. I don't know how he keeps up with it," he said.
Marvin said he eats two meals daily at the restaurant and has been eating here regularly since Don opened it up 40 years ago
A 22 year old Don Dillinger entered the restaurant business on September 1, 1973 and a banner inside proudly announces the 40th Anniversary of the establishment.
"Try to find any kid today that can open up a restaurant, or body shop, and stick with it. He's done a great job," said John Jean, who moved to town in 1973 and opened up his own longtime business, Protection Glass and Body in 1979 after graduating from the local high school in 1978.
I visited with John after Marvin left.
"Don was here at 3:30 a.m. the other day making donuts for meet you at the pole," John said. "I'll sure hate it when he retires. It's going to be a loss. He draws a lot of people to this town, who visit some of the other businesses while they're here," he added.
After all these years, Don Dillinger has learned a few things about the restaurant business
"You've got to learn to work hard. So many people think, I've got to have this time off for me. When you work for yourself, you have to work when the business is there," he said.
He also advised new business owners to "put money into a savings account every week, even as little as $5 or $10 to start with. Then when you accumulate enough, you can open a CD." He admits he wishes he began to save earlier than he did.
One of Don's fondest moments happened five years ago, when he received public recognition for his business—initially via a certificate from the Kansas Explorer's Club.
"They approved of the way I fix my chicken fries (aka chicken fried steaks) and also recommended trying the coconut cream pie. Two weeks later, the Official Kansas Travel Guide came out and listed my restaurant as one of the 14 best places to eat pie in Kansas," he said. Don noted that he cooks his chicken fry on a flat grill rather than deep-fat frying like so many other restaurants.
Don's Place is still going strong 40 years down the road. If you find yourself in Protection at breakfast, lunch or suppertime, drive downtown to 230 N. Broadway for a good meal.
Hours are 6 a.m. to 8 pm. Tuesday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. on Sunday.

Although this will be the first time the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb has been run on a fully prepared surface, with tarmac cover the entire course, there are still obstacles to be overcome. During the morning briefing ahead of the first official practice runs, for example, the Race Director warned drivers about overnight snow melting onto the surface.
With Peugeot Sport and Sébastien Loeb embarking on their first week of practice, the first step was to put the engine through its paces on a test bench in Colorado Springs to see how it performed at altitude.
That was followed by a shakedown run with the car at a nearby 'Speedway' to check changes made since the car's final test run in France.
Meanwhile, Loeb took time to familiarize himself with the 156 turns that make up the course, assisted by co-driver, Daniel Elena. In total, they completed nine climbs to ensure the World Rally Champion could make precise mental 'pace notes'.
Once the preparations were complete, was it time to give the Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak its first taste of the hill, with Saturday's run devoted to the first part of the course, and Sunday's to the second, higher part...
"I feel very confident with the car," confirmed Sébastien Loeb. "That's a reassuring start, if only because of the speeds we get up to. We're already getting close to the limit in many places. All we need to do now is make some detail changes and we will be ready for the Big Day!"
The team will have three more official practice sessions at the end of this week:

Seriously. I need help painting this place. Whole ground floor got screwed up 1 week after we finished construction thanks to Sandy.
This is how I became a Jets fan. No one in my family watched football. Or any sports.
When I was 9, my grandfather bought me and my sister 2 hats...one Giants, the other Jets. He hid them behind his back and asked me to pick a hand.
My sister has watched her team win 3 Super Bowls. We all know what I've seen from this team since 1987.

House Bill 923 was among the hundreds of bills that died in the Alabama legislature "because they did not pass in the house where they were introduced," the Associated Press (May 7, 2008) reports.
The National Center for Science Education, a non-profit organization that defends the teaching of evolution in the public schools, seeks candidates for a position in its Public Information Project.
While legislatures focus on antievolution bills, a new video helps students see how evolution works
Oakland, California, May 6, 2008 -- As attacks on evolution education remain in the news, with proposed antievolution legislation in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, and Missouri in the headlines, a new video rebutting the basic premise of "intelligent design" creationism is now available on www.ExpelledExposed.com.
When the Florida legislature ended its session on May 2, 2008, legislative attempts to open the door to creationism died in the House of Representatives.

Short term lettings. If you're thinking of a more lengthly stay (a month or more), why not try renting in Alex. Perhaps surprisingly, lets are easy to come by, coming in a range of prices (from 180LE per week to over 1000LE) and states of repair! Needless to say, it's definitely worth visiting an apartment during the late afternoon* before placing any money down. Landlords/lady's tend to live in the same blocks and will be willing to haggle the rates.
What is an LE? Egyptian currency is EGP, correct?
Is the population really "Population: 74.9 million (UN, 2005). "
Removed Diving info[edit]
I removed this because it talks about the Red Sea diving -- Tim (writeme!) 09:36, 18 August 2007 (EDT)
The Red Sea coast and the Gulf of Aqaba are deservedly popular among divers, owing to their rich marine life and shipwrecks. A large variety of coral, tiny florescent fish, giant turtles, Napoleon wrasse and nurse sharks are just some of the species inhabiting the area. The main dive centers are on the Sinai Peninsular at Sharm el-Sheikh and Ras Muhammad, a national park since 1983. Equipment may be hired and training is available for all levels of ability. Near Sharm el-Sheikh, there is a famous World War II wreck, the SS Thistlegorm and the nearby Straits of Tirian host spectacular offshore reefs, as well as two more wrecks. Live-aboard packages are available from some operators. Conditions vary according to the time of year: in February and March, the extra plankton in the water attracts manta rays and in November and December, the visibility is particularly good. A twice-weekly tour for E£5 can be taken to four islands in the Red Sea, namely Abou Kizan, The Emerald, The Rocky Island and The Two Brothers. For further information, see the Where to Go section or contact the Egyptian State Tourist Office (see General Info section).
More removed info[edit]
Too general for this guide on Alexandria -- Tim (writeme!) 09:41, 18 August 2007 (EDT)
Nile cruises[edit]
There are numerous cruise steamers on the Nile, the majority of which provide a very high standard of service. Vessels usually carry between 50 and 100 passengers, with the facilities varying according to the size of the individual vessel. Contacting a specialist operator is recommended for choosing a Nile cruise. Normally visitors can only book the complete package through a tour operator. Traditional feluccas may also be chartered. For further information, see Nile Cruises in the Where to Go section or contact the Egyptian State Tourist Office (see General Info section).
There is a public golf club at the foot of the Giza pyramids and there is a Gary Player course at Soma Bay on the Red Sea. Most courses either adjoin or are part of hotels; for instance, the Mena House , which is 15 minutes from Cairo. Other courses include the Alexandria Sporting Club (30 minutes from Alexandria); Jolie Ville (five minutes from Sharm el-Sheikh); Royal Valley Golf Course (25 minutes from Luxor); The Steigenberger Golf Club (30 minutes from Hurghada). The Egyptian State Tourist Office can provide further information (see General Info section).
from Eat[edit]
Egyptian cuisine is excellent, combining many of the best traditions of Middle Eastern cooking, and there are both large hotel restaurants and smaller specialist ones throughout the main towns. Some of the larger hotels in Cairo and its environs have kitchens serving top quality cosmopolitan dishes. In the center of Cairo, American-style snack bars are also spreading. Restaurants have waiter service. Although Egypt is a Muslim country, alcohol is available in cafe-style bars and good restaurants. The legal drinking age is 21.
National specialties:
• Foul (bean dishes).
• Stuffed vine leaves.
• Roast pigeon (sometimes stuffed with seasoned rice).
• Grilled aubergines.
• Kebabs.
• Humus (chickpeas).
• Tahina (dip made from sesame seeds).
National drinks:
• Kahwa (thick, strong coffee).
• Shay bil na'na' (mint tea).
• Karkaday (clear, bright red drink made from hibiscus flowers).
• Aswanli (dark beer made in Aswan).
• Stella (most common beer found around Egypt).
• Sakara (another common Egyptian beer).
• Zibib (alcoholic aniseed-flavored drink).
I quote: 'Alexandria has a tiny industrial section' Borg el arab is a CITY near alexandria where alexandrians work DEDICATED to industry Most of what's south of the Lakes is industrial For anyone who still refuses to accept this please drive on the new ring road for 10 minutes and you'll see that 'tiny industrial section' is plainly.. just wrong. It has one of egypt's largest industrial sectors and probably the largest in cairo
also someone needs to mention the largest port in egypt *coff* much appreciated since I'm not a pro at editing documents like this

Anti-masturbation devices, such as the one pictured up top, were used in the stained glass days of the Victorian sex age, where everyone from scholars, Catholic porno cults and Cloister prostitutes believed that masturbation caused the degeneration of civil society by inflicting the rosy palm populous with physical and mental disorders and venereal disease.
During the 1800s, it was thought that not only would the population eventually outstrip the food supply, but also that petting the old walrus in excess would cause serious strength deprivation and that bumping uglies actually diminished creative genius.
For these reasons, men were strongly encouraged to protect their vitality by avoiding sexual contact, masturbation, wet dreams and by limiting the number of orgasms they expelled in their marriages. That is where this copper anti-whacker with the pee hole colander comes into play.
Boys were forced to wear these boner proof vests to keep them from playing with themselves because masturbation was blamed for sickness and frailty, and one widely read authority even proclaimed that beating the old bishop caused masturbators to become withdrawn, flabby, pale, self-mutilating, afflicted by consumption and undoubtedly insane.
Trust us, you would have much rather have worn the peter armor than the alternative — penile cauterization was also commonly used to keep boys from displaying abnormal sexual excitation.

Rhodes College from Memphis, Tennessee, scored on a Dane Wilson 53-yard run on the first play of its second offensive possession and clinched the game on a 30-yard TD on a fourth-down conference with 2:29 to play to beat Macalester in St. Paul. This was the first meeting ever between these two schools and first Mac home game since Sept. 15.
Rhodes kept the Scots off the scoreboard by holding Macalester to a 2-for-16 third-down conversion rate. The Lynx out-gained Macalester 320-261 in total yardage, but Macalester held an 18-16 first down advantage.
T. Joe Loiselle (Sr., Chippewa Falls, Wis.) ran for 67 yards and John Johnson (Jr., McKenzie, Tenn.) caught five passes for 82 yards for Macalester.
This could have easily been a scoreless tie had it not been for two big plays for Rhodes. The first was Wilson's 53-yarder on the first play of Rhodes' second possession, and the second was the fourth-down Lynx touchdown pass with just 2:29 to seal the victory.
Macalester's defense was led by Spencer Robinson (Sr., Chattaroy, Wash. / Riverside) and Reid Callahan (Jr., Atlanta, Ga. / St. Pius X) with nine tackles each. Robinson also forced a fumble and collected one of two Macalester interceptions and Callahan added a fumble recovery. David Melms (Sr., Wauwatosa, Wis. / Wisconsin Lutheran) also picked off a Rhodes aerial, returning it 32 yards in the third quarter to give the Scots a scoring opportunity.
Dane Wilson rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown for Rhodes and quarterback Blake Box was 17-for-25 for 141 yards. Joseph Raby led the defensive cause with 13 tackles. The Lynx improve to 4-2 on the season.
The Scots are 3-3 and looking to snap a three-game skid next Saturday (Oct. 20) when they host Trinity Bible (N.D.) at 7 p.m.

Another Day, Another Collar: An Evaluation of the Effects of NYSE Rule 80A on Trading Costs and Intermarket Arbitrage
by James Overdahl and Henry McMillan
OCC Working Paper 97-8, MAY 1997.
Abstract: In 1990, the NYSE amended its Rule 80A to restrict stock index arbitrage on days of large price movements. We design empirical tests to evaluate the impact of Rule 80A on trading costs and inter-market arbitrage. We find that Rule 80A significantly curtails -- or "collars" -- index arbitrage activity. Despite the significant curtailment of index arbitrage activity, the cash and futures markets remain linked. Pricing discrepancies between the markets are simply eliminated less quickly. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that information is conveyed from one market to the other by means other than formal arbitrage. We also find that trading costs in the stock market, as measured by the average bid-ask spread for S&P 500 stocks, do not change following the triggering of Rule 80A, in spite of the binding constraint on index arbitrage volume. Overall, Rule 80A appears to have had little impact on trading costs and inter-market arbitrage despite significant curtailment of index arbitrage volume.
As with all OCC Working Papers, the opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Department of the Treasury.

CRESTVIEW � When the new City Council convenes April 1, three of the five members on the dais will be new.
CRESTVIEW � When the new City Council meets April 1, three of the five members on the dais will be new.
Defeated incumbents and candidates vowed to remain involved in civic affairs, joining a distinguished list of previous elected officials active in the community.
Appointed by the city council last year, City Clerk Betsy Roy held on to her position following stiff competition by real estate agent Wanda Davis, winning by 24 votes.
Davis said she received so much support from voters that she wants to continue her quest to "take back" the community from perceived "outsider" intent on changing the city�s character.
"As a Realtor who sells in Crestview, I know people buy homes in Crestview because we're Mayberry. Mayberry R.F.D. � that's us," Davis said.
"I want my town cleared up. I heard some remarks from behind that (city council) desk that made me hurt. Will they be seeing me? You bet! I hope the people that are in there are ready to make some positive changes."
Outgoing Council President Benjamin Iannucci III, defeated by retired construction project manager Joe Blocker, also promised to remain active as a citizen.
"I won't stop going to meetings. My involvement with the city is not going to stop," Iannucci said. "I'll keep going to the meetings and I'll let them know when I disagree with the direction they're going and I'll let them know when I agree with them."
He promised to continue supporting the Family Entertainment Center arts and sports complex he proposed.
In Laurel Hill, Mayor Joan Smith was defeated in her bid to return to the city council but likewise promised to remain involved in the community.
"I don't have the problems some people do about losing. I've got nothing to be ashamed of or hide," Smith said. "I'm just proud that we have a council that is workable."
Smith and Iannucci said that they would be able to accomplish more as private citizens without the restrictions placed on elected officials.
"You don't realize until you're on the council how handcuffed you are with certain things you can or cannot do based on (Sunshine) laws," Iannucci said. Open-meetings laws, in most cases, ban secret meetings among public officials.
"Our hands were tied sometimes," Smith said. "I like working together: People working together, that accomplishes so much. I'm proud of what we accomplished, and I'll do whatever I can to help our city."

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it appropriate in the public interest that a public administrative proceeding pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") be instituted against Respondent Charles F. Hagemann ("Respondent").
In anticipation of the institution of this administrative proceeding, Respondent has submitted an Offer of Settlement ("Offer"), which the Commission has determined to accept. Solely for the purpose of this proceeding and any other proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Commission, or in which the Commission is a party, and without admitting or denying the findings contained herein, except that Respondent admits the entry of the permanent injunction against him referred to in paragraph III.B. below and the jurisdiction of the Commission over him and over the subject matter of this proceeding, Respondent by his Offer of Settlement consents to the entry of this Order Instituting Public Administrative Proceeding, Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanction ("Order"), and to the entry of the findings and remedial sanction set forth below.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that a proceeding pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Exchange Act be, and hereby is, instituted.
On the basis of this Order and the Offer submitted by the Respondent, the Commission finds that:
A. Respondent resides in Canoga Park, California. Respondent has never held a securities license but was associated with an unregistered broker-dealer during the relevant period.
B. On May 31, 2001, Respondent was permanently enjoined from violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder by the United States District Court for the Central District of California [SEC v. Naughton, et al., CV 00-07531 R (Ex)]. Respondent consented to the entry of the permanent injunction without admitting or denying the allegations in the Commission's Complaint.
C. The Commission's Complaint filed in the action described above alleges that the defendants therein, including Respondent, at various times engaged in the offer and sale of securities in the form of preferred stock in Papa Holdings, Inc. and/or four of its restaurant subsidiaries in violation of the registration, antifraud and broker-dealer registration provisions of the federal securities laws. The Complaint further alleges that in connection with the offer and sale of these securities, the defendants, including Respondent, made material misrepresentations or omissions of material fact concerning the amount of commissions and/or overrides paid to them.
Based on the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate in the public interest to accept the Offer submitted by the Respondent and impose the sanction specified in the Offer.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent be, and hereby is, barred from association with any broker or dealer, with the right to apply for association after one year to the appropriate self-regulatory organization, or if there is none, to the Commission.
By the Commission.

About Me
- About myrrhman
- Biography
- Hello, my name is Myrrhman. I'm 19 years old and have been a huge fan of Pokemon since the originals came out. Since then, my craze has come and gone, but none so much as the one I am on now, and I don't think this can ever die. Other than play Pokemon, I go to school at the University of Tennessee, and am studying kinesiology, in order to become a physical therapist.
I know a whole bunch about Pokemon, and could competitively battle if I wanted to, but I dunno, it just doesn't seem like my kind of thing. I do enjoy creating teams for my friends, though, and telling them why I chose each Pokemon. I think secretly, I'm trying to get them into Pokemon this way. I am, however, really into completing challenges here on Pokecommunity, right now I've completed more than I feel comfortable counting, and, as you can easily see by visiting the challenge forum, I own a lot of the challenges (11 at last count, I think). One of my three Pokemon related ambitions is to complete (at one point) every challenge on the forum, and with every available way if it has multiple (every type for monotypes, every pokemon for solos, etc.)
My second ambition is to get not only myself, but all of Pokecommunity, who I owe credit to, into the Guinness Book of World Records: Video Game Edition. Again, in the Challenge Section, check out any thread that has "Project Alpha Fan" in it, we need the help.
Thirdly, eventually, I would love to become a moderator of this forum. I feel I would be a good addition to the staff, as I am constantly on (more than I should be with summer classes every day), I can handle having a lot on my plate (again, 11 Challenges), and I get pleasure in helping other people, One way to do this would be to patrol the forum for any threads in the wrong place, and to assist others in any way they need.
So that's me in a nutshell.
From your friend,
- Interests
- Collecting things. Pokemon especially. But really all collectibles in video games. Like completing every mission, getting every item, that sort of thing. Other than collecting, I fence and curl at the University of Tennessee, as well as hopefully start a Quidditch Team next year.

We took a nature walk in the small Southern California town of Oak Glen last weekend. The scenic area is known for its apple orchards, but we stumbled upon something quite different: chokecherries!
Along the trail, we noticed two boys gathering plump purple berries from the branches of some tall shrubs. When asked whether the berries were edible, one of them cheerfully responded, "These are poison berries! My grandpa likes them." Slightly alarmed and quite intrigued, we located Grandma, who gave us the full scoop.
Grandma explained that they were actually called chokecherries and warned us that they were not very tasty right off the tree but could be cooked down into a beautiful fuchsia-colored jam. She had been coming to the same spot to pick chokecherries for 40 years! While she'd never encountered anyone else foraging for chokecherries, she did know that local bears and birds shared her family's taste for the berries.
Of course, we couldn't resist picking a small bag for ourselves and did some more research as soon as we got home. It turns out that chokecherries (Prunus virginiana) grow wild throughout much of North America and are the official state fruit of North Dakota. Closely related to the black cherry, the red and purple berries are used to make jam, jelly, syrup, and wine. (Caution: Like cherries and apricots, the pits contain hydrocyanic acid and should not be consumed.)
The jam we made was tart and astringent and similar to cranberries. On its own, it was rather intense, but the astringency was tempered when served with butter on toast. We were admittedly more enchanted by the color than the flavor, but we look forward to foraging for chokecherries again and experimenting with other recipes.
More information:
• Chokecherry, from Forager's Harvest
• Chokecherry, from USDA
• Chokecherry Jam, from High Altitude Gardening
• Chokecherry Juice, Vinegar, Syrup, Jelly, Jam, Liqueur, and Wine, from ASHE

More news from the UM/NCAA saga today:
UM president Donna Shalala came out swinging tonight, calling on the NCAA to end its investigation into the UM case and saying the Hurricanes deserve no more penalties. UM will be very aggressive in fighting this. Scroll down to the bold section to see her statement.
(Quick aside: Two sources close to Mario Cristobal confirmed this afternoon he's leaving the UM staff, after less than two months on the job, to take the job as Alabama's offensive line coach. More on that below.)
Here's a synopsis of the UM/NCAA story today, plus an astounding nugget about the NCAA essentially paying Nevin Shapiro:
The NCAA says it acted improperly in the UM case, but the case will go forward to the infractions committee and the NCAA will not settle with UM as it did in the Penn State case, where the case did not go to infractions. That's disappointing news to UM, with multiple UM people saying the school had hoped for a quick settlement to put this behind them.
The downside is this could take many more months unless the process is somehow expedited, which would be very unusual.
While 20 percent of the information against UM has been thrown out, NCAA president Mark Emmert said there's still plenty of evidence to go forward with this case.
And there's this: The NCAA revealed that it purchased a disposable mobile phone and paid for Nevin Shapiro's use of the prison phone system. The NCAA expended $8200 to fund communications with Shapiro, including the transfer of $4500 to the prison commissary account from which Shapiro pays for his communication. That allowed the NCAA to call Shapiro repeatedly during the investigation. So the NCAA paid not only Shapiro's attorney, but Shapiro. Charming.
Also, Maria Elena Perez, Shapiro's attorney, billed the NCAA $57,115 for her work from October 2011 to July 2012. The NCAA expected her bill to be around $15,000. Perez was paid at least $19,609.
UM president Donna Shalala just came out with a very strong statement, calling on the NCAA to end this investigation and not to penalize UM further.
"The University takes full responsibility for the conduct of its employees and student-athletes. Where the evidence of NCAA violations has been substantiated, we have self-imposed appropriate sanctions, including unilaterally eliminating once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for our students and coaches over the past two years, and disciplining and withholding players from competition.
"We believe strongly in the principles and values of fairness and due process. However, we have been wronged in this investigation, and we believe that this process must come to a swift resolution, which includes no additional punitive measures beyond those already self-imposed. In September 2010—two and a half years ago—the University of Miami advised the NCAA of allegations made by a convicted felon against former players and, at that time, we pledged our full cooperation with any investigation into the matter.
"One year later, in August 2011, when the NCAA's investigation into alleged rules violations was made public, I pledged we would 'vigorously pursue the truth, wherever that path may lead' and insisted upon 'complete, honest, and transparent cooperation with the NCAA from our staff and students.' The University of Miami has lived up to those promises, but sadly the NCAA has not lived up to their own core principles. The lengthy and already flawed investigation has demonstrated a disappointing pattern of unprofessional and unethical behavior.
"By the NCAA leadership's own admission, the University of Miami has suffered from inappropriate practices by NCAA staff. There have also been damaging leaks to the media of unproven charges. Regardless of where blame lies internally with the NCAA, even one individual, one act, one instance of malfeasance both taints the entire process and breaches the public's trust. There must be a strong sense of urgency to bring this to closure. Our dedicated staff and coaches, our outstanding student-athletes, and our supporters deserve nothing less." – Donna E. Shalala, University of Miami President.
## Cristobal is leaving because he's getting a big raise (to $500,000) and values the chance to work for Nick Saban. And no, UM isn't happy about him bolting after less than two months on the job. Hard to ever see UM welcoming him back again.
Meanwhile, here's a minute-by-minute update during the NCAA's 2 p.m. news conference.
Below the live comments is the press release that the NCAA issued at 1:50 p.m., which detailed its findings in its investigation into how it handled the UM case.
Remember, UM won't learn its punishment today. It should get its notice of allegations very, very soon, perhaps this week. NCAA President Mark Emmert wouldn't say.
Julie Roe Lach, the NCAA's vice president of enforcement, has been fired because of her role in the UM case. But Emmert refused to discuss her.
Here's how the call unfolded:
Outside counsel Kenneth Wainstein said he was asked by the NCAA to investigate whether the enforcement staff acted inappropriately in the UM case "by using the subpoena power of the bankruptcy case" to get witnesses to talk (Sean Allen, Michael Huyghue) who otherwise might not have.
### Wainstein said he interviewed 22 people, "including all the relevant NCAA staff, the legal staff, and a number of third parties outside the NCAA, such as former investigators, and Nevin Shapiro." (But oddly, Sean Allen was not interviewed.)
### Wainstein then reiterated what the news release says below. He said Shapiro's attorney, Maria Elena Perez, said she could use deposition subpoena authority for the bankruptcy process "to compel witnesses to come in and be deposed and the NCAA could propose questions... to get information."
Ameen Najjar, the investigator on the UM case who was fired by the NCAA in May, took the proposal to NCAA vice president of enforcement Julie Lach and "they then secured financial approval to pay Perez's fees, and also took it to the legal staff to get it vetted and approved," Wainstein said.
### The legal staff advised enforcement "not to do this," Wainstein said. The advice not to do this was reiterated to Najjar and the enforcement staff. But Najjar disobeyed his bosses and "went forward with it in order to pay Ms. Perez to secure depositions," Wainstein said.
Wainstein said the fact Najjar paid Perez wasn't known by the NCAA's top administration until after Najjar was fired. Mark Emmert has refused to say why Najjar was fired.
### Wainstein said "no law" in the NCAA's bylaws were violated, but his subsequent comments seem to contradict that. But he said the enforcement staff "very clearly disregarded" the legal staff's instructions not to do this. "The practice and policy of the NCAA is that only the legal staff of the NCAA can retain outside counsel. The enforcement staff violated that in this case," Wainstein said.
### Wainstein said he was also trying to determine: "Was there anything about this that was a manipulation or abuse of the bankruptcy process?... While we did not find any law that was violated, the lead investigator [Najjar] and [two enforcement supervisors] failed to appreciate the concern that this could be perceived as [abuse] of the bankruptcy process."
### Wainstein said in the NCAA's defense, "the NCAA undertook to make sure -- before we got involved -- that they went through that record with a fine tooth comb and took out any fact, any allegation that was derived in any way from the enforcement staff's work with Shapiro's attorney." The investigation is now "cleaned of tainted information. We clearly reviewed every assertion in the record" and determined all of the "tainted information" has been removed.
### NCAA President Mark Emmert said he discussed these matters with the executive committee and board of directors "and they have copies of the final report." Emmert said: "I want to make sure we stayed focused on how it happened and how to avoid similar situations in the future.... It's of paramount importance we follow our own rules."
Reporters still haven't been given a chance to ask questions.
### Emmert said: "In the UM case, we have had now three reviews of the information involved to make sure none of the information continued in the UM investigation resulted from the depositions conducted. We are going to move forward with the Miami investigation. That will move through enforcement staff and committee of infractions as they would during their normal course of business."
### Those Emmert comments suggests UM won't get a settlement, which became even clearer later in the call. That's bad news, because that means this process could take many, many more months. As we noted yesterday, nine months passed between the time UCF got its notice of allegations and then got its penalties. UCF appealed its football bowl ban last September and is still awaiting a rule on that -- 15 1/2 months after it got its allegations.
### Questions have started.
### Wainstein said Lach asked for permission from NCAA COO Jim Isch to get a green-light to pay Perez, who was asking for up to $20,000. Lach got permission from Isch "to approve the funding" and then reached out to the legal staff, which told Lach not to do this. But Lach did it anyway "contrary to legal advice."
### Emmert, asked how much personal responsibility he feels: "This is an outcome nobody wants to see on their watch. It's an embarrassment to the association and its staff. This is not a good situation at all."
### Asked how much information was thrown out of the case, Emmert said: "We can't get into details of a case. The information that was expunged was anything that came from the depositions of the two individuals or was related to them. It's inappropriate to put it in percentages."
But Wainstein said "20 percent of the allegations were taken out."
### Wainstein defended the NCAA in some ways, saying: "The NCAA went overboard to extract things if there was a close call." He said 13 interviews and portions of 12 others were thrown out.
### Asked how he feels about several enforcement people being fired, Emmert said he wouldn't comment on individual cases, saying only: "We need to make sure we have the right people in place to provide leadership." He said if the NCAA's two boards believe he should be disciplined, he would accept that discipline.
### Emmert said: "I wouldn't characterize this as a case of corruption. This was a case of bad judgment and bad decisions made."
### Emmert said he "would not set a timeline" on when UM will get its notice of allegations but the enforcement committee "is moving forward with dispatch."
### When will the Miami ruling come down? Emmert said "everyone is trying to get it done as quickly as possible."
Emmert said: "It will be up to the committee of infractions who will pass judgment on this to determine the validity of the arguments put in front of them. The intention is to move forward with this case. There's still a lot of information available that is not tainted by this."
"There are many parties at risk beyond the university. It will be up to the committee on infractions to make those judgment calls."
### Emmert was asked again about the letter threatening former UM players that Shapiro's claims against them would be believed if they didn't agree to be interviewed.
Emmert said Monday: "That was not a point of the discussion of this review." Keep in mind that Emmert said on the January conference call that this threat WOULD be investigated. Absurd.
Here's the NCAA news release:
Select NCAA enforcement staff acted contrary to internal protocols, legal counsel and the membership's understanding about the limits of its investigative powers in the University of Miami case, according to the external Enforcement Review Report.
Kenneth L. Wainstein, a partner with the law firm of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, conducted the review at the direction of NCAA President Mark Emmert following his January 23 announcement of conduct issues within the enforcement program.

The release of this Report does not waive the attorney-client privilege with regard to any other document or communication concerning this, or any other, matter. The NCAA will assert the attorney-client privilege to the extent permitted by law. Exhibit redactions have been made to fulfill confidentiality and privacy obligations for information that is otherwise not generally available or accessible by the public. None of the redacted information is material to the subject of the Report.
"With the completion of the external enforcement review, we recognize that certain investigative tactics used in portions of the University of Miami case failed our membership," said Emmert. "As I stated before, we are committed to making the necessary improvements to our enforcement processes and ensuring our actions are consistent with our own values and member expectations."
This review focused specifically on the enforcement staff's use of outside counsel and the federal bankruptcy process to determine whether staff took inappropriate steps in their efforts to secure testimony and records, and if so, determine how that happened.
The external review found select enforcement staff members:
- Knowingly circumvented legal advice to engage Nevin Shapiro's criminal defense attorney.
- Violated the internal NCAA policy of legal counsel only being retained and monitored by the legal staff.
- Paid insufficient attention to the concern that engaging the criminal defense attorney could constitute an inappropriate manipulation of the bankruptcy process.
- Did not sufficiently consider the membership's understanding about the limits of the enforcement staff's investigative powers.
- Did not violate a specific bylaw or law.
Additionally, the report found:
- Enforcement leadership exercised insufficient oversight of the engagement of the criminal defense attorney.
- The legal and enforcement staffs took appropriate action to rectify the situation once they realized select enforcement staff members had engaged the criminal defense attorney.
The information gained through the bankruptcy proceedings or other evidence derived from that process will not be used in the Miami investigative record. The NCAA plans to proceed with the case with information properly obtained by the enforcement staff.
"This report is an important first step in responding to the issue at hand," said Wainstein. "For an organization with an oversight function like the NCAA, its credibility and reputation for fair-dealing are always more important than its ability to prove the allegations in any particular case. This episode is a reminder of the problems that arise when investigators resort to expedient but questionable tactics."
"My responsibility is to be certain that the membership has confidence in all of our processes across the national office," said Emmert.
"To that end, I have appointed Jonathan Duncan, a law partner with a focus on education and sports law at Spencer, Fane, Britt & Browne LLP, to serve as interim vice president of enforcement. He has worked on NCAA issues for 15 years from multiple perspectives, including service to both the Enforcement and Rules Working Groups," added Emmert.
Additionally, Duncan and Spencer Fane will work with Cadwalader to review the regulatory environment from the national office and membership perspectives. To gain member insights, the review will include discussions with schools that recently engaged in the enforcement process. It will comprise a broader policy, practice and procedural review of how NCAA regulatory activities are managed and conducted.
The final phase of the review will engage the membership to probe broader, philosophical questions about the nature of the regulatory side, including the desired outcome of regulation and to what level the membership wants to be held accountable. The review will include enforcement, eligibility, reinstatement and the waiver processes.
"Integrity is vital to the Association's regulatory functions," said Lou Anna K. Simon, executive committee chair and Michigan State University president. "Our expectation is that the NCAA uses this review as a launching point for meaningful change. Moving forward, NCAA member schools must engage in a healthy debate about our desired outcomes and expectations of the Association's regulatory functions."
Couple other things: Mike Mayock said today the best value for the Dolphins at No. 12 might be an offensive lineman. Oy!.... Mayock compares Cal receiver Keenan Allen - a first-round Dolphins possibility - to Anquan Boldin.....

Defence Minister A.K. Antony will inaugurate the ninth edition of Aero India 2013 at Air Force Station Yelahanka, Bengaluru, on February 6.
Aero India, the largest Air Show in Asia and one of the world's most important military aviation exhibitions, is all set to kick start from February 6 to 10.
This biennial air show and aviation exhibition which is organised by the Defence Ministry of India along with the Indian Air Force, Defence Research and Development Organisation, Department of Space and the Union Civil Aviation Ministry, aims at showcasing the range of products and services offered by the Indian Defence Industry in the international market.
It also provides an exposure to Indian armed forces, RandD personnel and young engineers, to the latest technologies and advancements in the Aviation and Aerospace Industries.
The participation in Aero India has grown exponentially by both, Indian and international industry since the first edition in December 1996. This growth has immensely contributed towards modernization of the aviation and aerospace sector of the three wings of the armed forces of India.
While Aero India 2011 saw the participation of exhibitors from 29 countries with more than 600 companies and gross exhibition area of 75,000 Sqm, the ninth edition of this International Aerospace Exhibition is expected to see the participation of over 700 companies and 78 overseas delegations covering an approximate gross exhibition area of 1,25,000 Sqm.
Major participants in this are companies from the United States, Israel, Russia, France, UK, Germany and Belgium, Bulgaria, Italy, Ukraine, Australia, Belarus, Czech Republic, Japan, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Netherlands, Romania, Sweden, UAE and Singapore.
This edition of Aero India would see the participation of the world famous aerobatic team from the Czech Republic popularly known as the 'Flying Bulls' or 'Red Bulls', the Russian Air Force aerobatic team 'Russian Knights' and our favourite Indian Air Force 'Sarang' helicopter aerobatic display team comprising indigenous Dhruv helicopters.
With an aim to reach out to the youth of the country, a youth pavilion dedicated to encouraging participation from undergraduate students from prominent engineering colleges of India has been initiated this year. This novel initiative intends targeting young Indian minds and stimulating them to focus towards development in the field of aviation and technology in general and military aviation in particular.
Improving upon the past air shows, a large number of initiatives have been taken to improve upon the visitor's experience and security this time. Registration for visitors to the air show and sale of tickets is online, wherein a unique ID would be generated on filling the details. The tickets can then be collected from 10 ticket collection centers in the city on production of the unique ID generated. Photo ID is mandatory for entry to the air show. There is no cash sale of tickets for the air show this time. The details can be accessed at www.aeroindia.in .
Layered security would be provided by the state police and specialised security agencies including the DSC, CISF, Para SF and GARUD commandos.
A comprehensive security plan with counter terrorism squads, bomb disposal squad and CCTV surveillance is in place. Likewise, a comprehensive disaster management plan has been put in place and exercised to cater for various contingencies. (ANI)

Understanding the Adam story in Genesis and Paul's use of the Adam story in Romans and 1 Corinthians is important and challenging. An informed discussion engages topics such as Old Testament views of creation and challenges in understanding Paul.
We have glimpsed these in the previous weeks. These posts have raised awareness and encouraged dialogue. But this is just the beginning of the conversation.
So, where are we with respect to Adam?
For Paul, Adam and Eve were the parents of the human race. Do all Christians have to accept Paul's interpretation of the Adam story?
1. What if we allow Paul (and other biblical writers) to settle for us the question of human origins? This is an option for many Christians today. In fact, groups like Answers in Genesis consider it the only truly Christian option.
Those who maintain this position, however, must address the scientific and archaeological evidence that created the problems.
1a. Evidence can be ignored. We can argue that nothing take precedence over God's Word, and move on. This is possible but not satisfying for those familiar with either the scientific or archaeological data. Ignoring evidence will produce considerable cognitive dissonance.
1b. Evidence can be challenged. Mainstream scientific and archaeological evidence can be reinterpreted. We do not ignore or brush aside the evidence. We provide a persuasive alternate account of the evidence. By persuasive I mean an account that practicing scientists and scholars would consider good faith responses to the data. Idiosyncratic "theories"—actually hypotheses— such as the appearance of age, however, are not alternate scientific hypotheses but idiosyncratic assertions that are completely foreign to normal scientific explanation. They belong in 1a, not in 1b.
Accepting Paul's assumptions about human origins means the scientific and archaeological evidence must be ignored or mainstream theories must be replaced with better ones.
I speak as a biblical scholar, not a scientist. But ignoring evidence is not a reasonable option. And reconfiguring the evidence to support Paul's assumptions of a 6000 year-old earth and two humans as parents of the entire human race is, quite simply, impossible.
2. What if we affirm that Paul's view of human origins does not settle the matter for us today? Of course, this leaves us with a pressing question: how do we think about Adam today?
This is where the conversation begins for those wishing to maintain a biblical faith in a modern world. And whatever way forward is chosen, we must be clear on one thing: we have all left "Paul's Adam." We are all "creating Adam," as it were, in an effort to reconcile Scripture and the modern understanding of human origins.
Thoughtful Christians today achieve this reconciliation in several ways. Some say Adam and Eve were not individuals but representatives of humanity as a whole. Alister McGrath calls these "stereotypes." John Walton uses the term "archetypes."
Others emphasize that Adam and Eve may not be our biological first parents, but rather our spiritual first parents. This is often reconciled with evolution by supposed that God endowed two hominids with his image at some point in natural history. In other words, God "created" Adam and Eve several thousand years ago out of a larger population.
I will not comment here on the viability of these reconciliations. That question is far too large to be answered by any one person. It is a group effort, and BioLogos is bringing these issues into general conversation among Christians, working to preserve the integrity of both science and the Christian tradition.
Any version of #1 above is, at the end of the day, or even the beginning for that matter, unrealistic and wrong. But once you move to option #2, you have left Paul's Adam and are now working with an Adam that is partially and even largely shaped by your own understanding and worldview. You are in an entirely different discussion. The question is: What solution to the problem best respects both theology and science?
That is the conversation encouraged by BioLogos. Indeed, it is a conversation that is both desperately needed and, in this modern age of science, inevitable.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 27, 2006) -- Fresh off a convincing win over Atlantic Sun Conference frontrunner Kennesaw State, the ETSU men's basketball team will look to continue its climb up the conference standings Saturday as the Buccaneers take at Stetson at 4 p.m. inside Memorial Center.
The Bucs (11-7, 8-3) are now just one-game back of both Kennesaw State and Lipscomb following Florida Atlantic's loss to Belmont Friday night. The Bucs will be without the services of senior guard Ben Rhoda (Dayton, Ohio) against the Hatters, as Rhoda will be serving a one-game suspension for being ejected from Wednesday's game against KSU.
Saturday will also include a pair of special promotions at the game, as the first 1,800 fans will receive a free Tim Smith miniature bobblehead, and Newschannel 11 will be in the Mini-Dome taping two-minute audition tapes for Survivor want-to-bes beginning at 3 p.m.

Opinion: Profiling Terror
Best of the Web Today columnist Jason Taranto on why liberals who say racial profiling is unscientific are wrong. Photo credit: Getty Images.

... welcome back to Opinion Journal why Mary Kissel ... recent terror attacks in Boston Tripoli in the foiled attempt in Canada yesterday are raising and old question ... should the authorities use racial profiling to prevent ... future attacks ... this is when NPR science correspondent ... Shankar of the dance and has a say on Twitter recently and I quote ... I strongly believe racial profiling in internment camps or rise for making spurious connections ... generalizations stereotypes ... when policy makers make such spurious connections without evidence ... it produces outcomes that are unjust in on the scientific and quote ... best of the web calmness chain store and so was the man ... who engage in in exchange Mr van some ... intense what's her speaks of the facts is it true that racial profiling is on scientific knowledge towns on the circumstances ... it probably doesn't make a lot of sense to use racial profiling per se in the context of terrorism ... because the profile of the terrorist is not a racial one ... I've that was on the left wing writer did a piece last week sample to Boston bomber struck out the white Americans one but they turned out to be the only way to Caucasians from the Caucasian region from Chechnya ... and five the younger one is ... an American citizen ... and that's why so this ... so in racial profiling in the weather and it is scientific or not depends on the strength of the correlation ... and they're very strong correlations for example between ... hot young black men in late May committed an extraordinarily high ... so in that sense ... there is scientific just to get the ... dividend was really was that it's categorically ... long it's an illusory correlation to every age racial profiling and that's that's just a bit that there's a separate question here is it morally or legally justified ... right and that it is a separate question ride to ... the rational basis is not the task for governmental actions that involve race discrimination Supreme Court has adopted a much stronger tax cuts ... called strict scrutiny was that mean it means that the law or policy has to meet us to serve a compelling government interest ... he has to be ... a closely related that interest ... and it has been the least restrictive means of achieving that interest ... so racial profiling may meet the upside is that I've that test in some circumstances ... for example if you have a suspect on the loose and he's been identified as a white man ... it makes sense not to ... spew no stopping questioned ... by black men are Chinese matter a fourteen year old women in the ... ride ... but it's it's a very hard standard tube to watch reach ... and so we should separate the question of whether ... it is morally justified really good Best Buy from the question of whether it scientifically justified took a look and an interesting exchange over the weekend with this in pure science correspondent on Twitter ... just put a screen shot out ... of your column ... um what prompted this exchange that you wrote about its lawful induction well he had a very eye offhand reference in an NPR interview them which I read a transcript ... I bouts of racial profiling in an internment camp site posted a tweet by making fun of him for that ... and was an odd thing to to to to put it ... but to get put up in the in the face of the bomb right but basically his point is that racial profiling is wrong ... and therefore ... I ate ... what was once lawful induction is also known as the opera or a fallacy ... it consists in denying empirical evidence ... I've that ... contradicts one spot preconceived ... conclusion to let the facts interesting right so I think what he's doing here is he saying ... by the racial profiling is wrong I strongly believe the see sentiment weaken ... the beginning of the segment ... by Ed Ed and therefore he just refuses to take him I'd I pressed him on what exactly is the Internal clan are making here ... and you would answer ... um has anybody else else commited this ... it ... soon Islam Full induction before Elise unison of the Riverton ate them ... of the essence when Hyannis is not a fan who ... believes that abortion is wrong and ... was asked a question about you know that to prove question what about cases re the failed Republican candidate from Berlin rosary for right ... now the case of rape is a very serious by questions about the abortion debate because you if you think abortion is wrong ... the idea of forcing a woman to carry her attackers child to term grown govern foresee that is a horrible outcome ...

As if low prices, high production costs, and a flood of textile imports weren't problems enough for the U.S. cotton industry the past three years, it also has had a tooth-and-nail battle with synthetics.
"Man-made fiber is challenging cotton in every market," Kent Lanclos, assistant director of economic services for the National Cotton Council, said at the organization's annual meeting at San Diego, Calif.
"World retail consumption of cotton last year (2000) is estimated at 90 million bales, while polyester use is estimated at 86 million bales. All man-made fiber use has soared to the equivalent of 145 million bales."
While cotton use is rebounding from its 1998 decline, Lanclos said, polyester saw a steady increase during that period of market turmoil and analysts are now projecting that 2001 will see polyester use outstrip that of cotton.
Still, cotton is making gains on the world scene.
Starting with an 8 percent increase in world consumption in 1999 over 1998, the USDA is now projecting that 2000 use will be up another 300,000 bales to 92.2 million.
"The quick rebound in world cotton mill use is a testimony to the rapid recovery of the Asian economies following the 1998 financial crisis," Lanclos says.
In the world today, three countries - China, India, and Pakistan - accounted for nearly 44 million bales of mill use in 2000, or about 48 percent of the world total. More impressively, they represent over 75 percent of the increase in world mill use since 1998.
"If foreign governments continue to invest in their textile industries, and the price of cotton remains competitive with man-made fibers, cotton mill use should increase slightly to 93 million bales in 2001," Lanclos says.
Export projection The USDA is now estimating that raw cotton exports last year will hit 26.7 million bales, about 29 percent of world mill use.
This rebound in U.S. exports, Lanclos says, can be traced back to the government's restored funding in Oct., 1999 for the Step 2 payments program.
"The availability of Step 2 certificates has permitted U.S. merchants to quote competitively priced cotton, while domestic prices remain above world prices. The USDA is now estimating U.S. exports of raw cotton in 2000 will total 7.3 million bales.
But, Lanclos notes, "Even though conditions have improved from last year, the world cotton market remains intensely competitive."
The lineup of key world cotton buying nations is changing, he says. "Ten years ago, the top three export destinations for U.S. raw cotton were Japan, China, and South Korea. In 1999, they were Mexico, Turkey, and Indonesia, and year-to-date figures show that to be the case for 2000. Further, China is no longer even in the top 10."
Even so, China remains a major influence on the direction of the world cotton market, Lanclos says.
"For the past two years, China has been a net exporter of cotton, trying to reduce burdensome stocks levels. At the same time, their consumption seems to be rising at an extraordinarily steep rate."
With the USDA forecasting China's mill use at 23 million bales for 2000, and production at 20 million bales, many analysts are forecasting that China is at a zero net trade position.
Importer once again "For 2001, China is expected to once again become a net importer of cotton," Lanclos says. "And with the exception of the dissolution of the former Soviet Union and Central Asian bartering, changes in China's net trade position have been a greater impact on average cotton prices over the past two decades than any other factor."
While China's cotton stocks numbers (it held over 47 percent of the world's total cotton stocks in 1998) are a major concern to the industry, he says indications are their government is making progress toward resolving production/use imbalance.
"Chinese authorities finally have begun reform of their cotton policies, which seem to be working, since stocks have been reduced by over 9 million bales in just two years."
Reducing China's production has proven "a more intractable problem," Lanclos says. "Cotton continues to be the most profitable crop for Chinese farmers, who currently are getting about 68 cents per pound, up from 54 cents last year. These higher returns will encourage them to maintain cotton acreage, resulting in at least the same size crop for 2001."
Based on National Cotton Council forecasts of production mill use, Lanclos says the foreign cotton production deficit for 2001 is projected at 11.7 million bales.
Cover deficit "This deficit will have to be covered by some combination of U.S. exports and further drawdown of world stocks. With Step 2 in place, U.S. raw cotton exports should increase to the range of 8 million to 8.5 million bales, for a market share of more than 28 percent."
More than 1,000 representatives from the cotton industry's seven segments participated in the annual meeting.
Delegates from 17 cotton-producing states developed and adopted resolutions for council action in farm and economic policy, international trade, public relations and international market development, research, education, packaging, distribution, and health/safety/environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Flowmaster's warranty?
All Flowmaster products built of aluminized steel have a 10 year limited warranty against defective materials and workmanship. All stainless steel mufflers have a 10 year limited warranty against defective materials and workmanship.
What is "Delta Flow" technology?
Flowmaster's "Delta Flow" technology has evolved from extensive Research & Development at race-tracks around the country. This new technology provides superior scavenging while reducing resonance inside the vehicle. What you can expect is improved performance while maintaining a pleasant tone, both inside and outside the vehicle.
What materials are used to build Flowmaster mufflers?
All Flowmaster products are fully mig welded and built from 16 gauge aluminized steel for durability and value. Specific part numbers of the 40 and 50 series are also offered in 409 stainless steel, while the Hushpower II mufflers are offered in either 409 stainless steel, or 304 stainless steel.
What pipe size should I use for a street application?
In general, the following guidelines should be applied for street applications.
2" tubing up to 100 hp per pipe
2.25" tubing up to 160 hp per pipe
2.5" tubing up to 200 hp per pipe
3" tubing up to 300 hp per pipe
What is the difference between a 40 series and a 50 series muffler?
Both mufflers have the same sound outside the vehicle, but each has varying sound levels generated inside the vehicle. The 40 series (two chamber) will resonate inside the vehicle, generally around 1800-2000 rpms and also again around 2400-2600 rpms. The 50 series (three chamber) incorporates an H-chamber that helps eliminate this interior resonance in the cab area of your vehicle.
Will I lose power going from a 40 series to a 50 series, or to a 70 series?
No. Flowmaster engineers each series of mufflers for very low restriction with the main differences being varying sound levels both inside, and outside your vehicle. This way you can customize your vehicles sound levels to your vehicles needs and sound preference.
Do I need to install an "H" pipe to my dual exhaust?
Flowmaster strongly recommends using an "H" pipe, commonly known as a "balance tube" on all "true dual" exhaust systems. An "H" pipe equalizes the pressures between both banks of the engine giving a broader and flatter torque curve throughout the rpm range. It also eliminates "back-rap" common on deceleration, and creates a deeper mellower tone both inside and outside of the vehicle.
Is an "X" pipe better than and "H" pipe?
Over the years, Flowmaster's testing of all types of crossovers, including "X pipes", has revealed no substantial benefits over a properly installed "H" pipe on street driven applications. However, in race applications with small cubic inch engines and /or restricted (small bore) carburetors, will respond well to the addition of X pipes, tri-y styled collectors and/or properly designed single exhaust systems.
Will my late model vehicle run better if I replace the single inlet muffler with a true dual exhaust system?
Flowmaster does not recommend replacing factory single inlet exhaust systems with a "true dual" system on computer controlled vehicles. The computers in most late model vehicles will not be able to compensate with the fuel needed with an almost doubling of the exhaust flow. Flowmasters dual outlet kits will give you the look of a "true dual" system, while optimizing the vehicles performance.
Do I need to run tailpipes after the mufflers?
Yes, Flowmaster highly recommends running tailpipes out from under the vehicle. This directs the exhaust fumes away from the vehicle, while minimizing the sound transmitted into the cab area of the vehicle.
What kind of performance gains can I expect when installing Flowmasters on my vehicle?
Performance gains will vary dependent upon your application. The more power the vehicle makes, the bigger the gains will be. Generally, a 5-7% gain of power is fairly typical, while 1-2 mpg can be achieved. That is if you can keep your foot out of the gas to hear that Flowmaster sound.
How can I be sure that I'm buying a Flowmaster muffler?
The Flowmaster name is embossed in every muffler case that Flowmaster builds. If it doesn't say Flowmaster on the case, it's not a real Flowmaster muffler.

|I really like the way this makes my truck sound. However, without the sound, I would still do it. I get another 10th of a mile on every gallon of gas. Awesome!
Lifetime Warranty SS / 3 Year Warranty Aluminum
Flowmaster is offering a lifetime limited warranty on their stainless steel 40 Series Delta Flow Mufflers and a 3 year limited warranty on the aluminum 40 Series Delta Flow Mufflers.
Flowmaster mufflers are designed to work with new or existing exhaust systems. They offer slip on installation and can be welded or clamped into place. Due to the use of heavier materials, Flowmaster recommends spot welding the joints when using clamps. On some applications it will be necessary to cut or splice when adding Flowmaster mufflers to an existing exhaust system.

The OAH Magazine of History has been published since 1985. Each quarterly issue focuses on a theme in U.S. history. Articles draw upon recent scholarship, survey the historiography, and provide practical teaching strategies. Its goal is to enhance the teaching and presentation of U.S. history in the classroom.
current issue:
Pre-contact America
Writing and teaching American history before the arrival of Europeans used to be easier. Not long ago this was a history with clearly identifiable protagonists and a compelling story arc bracketed by an unambiguous beginning and ending. It exuded high drama, revolving around the great themes of discovery and survival, and it was preoccupied with timing. Its sources were relatively limited—bones, tools, language—and its practitioners were a self-contained group of archaeologists and anthropologists, whose findings coalesced in the 1960s into a model that seemed carved in stone. The model had simplicity, even a kind of elegance, which many took for proof.
Please note, the OAH Magazine of History will cease publication with its October 2013 issue (volume 27, number 4). The full archive of back issues are available to OAH members at Oxford University Press. The OAH Magazine also may be found online at JSTOR.

This is my collage of characters from some the video games that I've played or replayed recently.
So everyone knows who is who, here's a list.
Starting from the top left, from Pokemon Colosseum, his default name is Wes.
Just to the right of Wes, also from Pokemon Colosseum, default name is Rui.
Rui is supposed to be telling Wes that she sees a shadow pokemon and Wes is getting ready to battle it.
In the top right, from Chrono Trigger, is Frog. He's sorta just chillin' with his broadsword.
Just below Wes and Rui, from Streets of Rage, is Blaze Fielding. She's just in her basic fighting stance.
Underneath Frog, from Resident Evil 0, is the forgettable character Rebecca Chambers.
Off to the left below Blaze is Samus Aran, from the Metroid games, specifically the original Metroid. She's obviously charging her blaster.
Immediately next to Samus is my favorite character from Budokai Tenkaichi, Bardock, father of Goku, using his ultimate move.
Right up front is the iconic Link from Legend of Zelda, specifically Ocarina of Time.
And last but not least, Kratos, from Tales of Symphonia.

Touchpanels are one of the sexiest tools for interacting with a home's electronic systems. From it you can peruse your iTunes library, monitor and adjust the states of the lights, security system, and more, and launch strings of commands to thermostats, electronic door locks, motorized draperies … really anything that derives power from electrical current or a battery. This same screen, if it's designed appropriately, can also display your favorite TV shows, the news, movies, even views from surveillance cameras. This was the thinking behind the development of RTI's new KX10 in-wall touchpanel.
Designed to bring simple control and automation to A/V, environmental, and security systems, the KX!- combines the capabilities of a control device and a high-definition video display into one powerful interface.
"The advanced engineering of our new KX10 in-wall touchpanel makes it more than just a command device," says Mike Everett, vice president of sales and marketing, Americas, RTI. "With its large, high-resolution LCD users also have a convenient place for viewing HD video via the unit's HDBaseT input and well as analog video sources through the composite input port.
The KX10's 10.1-inch, 1280×800 WXGA-resolution LCD is programmable to the finest detail and provides ample screen real estate for the ultimate user interface. Developed to be an elegant solution that allows users to efficiently engage with their surroundings, the touchpanel features built-in intercom support, a proximity sensor that brings it to life when a user approaches, and an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the screen brightness based on the room's lighting conditions.
RTI's KX10 in-wall touchpanel is available through authorized RTI dealers.
