Dustin Hoffman Makes Out With Niall Horan of One Direction on 'Letterman'
Even grown men can't resist the wiles of One Direction. Case in point: At the band's taping of 'The Late Show With David Letterman,' Dustin Hoffman tried to smooch Niall Horan!
The Daily Mail reports that the veteran actor was sharing a couch with the group for their episode (airing tonight, Dec. 7) and he couldn't contain himself. He lurched onto an unsuspecting Horan, giving him a playful "snog" on the lips. Horan's bandmates couldn't contain themselves, and we don't blame them -- it was probably funnier than any Top 10 list in a while.
Aside from getting mauled by 75-year-old men, the band chatted up Letterman and performed their ballad 'Little Things.'
The band were all too eager to interact with their beloved Directioners who waited outside the theater -- except a certain Harry Styles, who raced ahead of Horan, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson to avoid them. Sounds like Taylor Swift has him on a short leash -- or maybe he was avoiding more incidents with cops.

WOW. Dilfer has really come around on both the Seahawks and Russell Wilson. I have never heard him speak this highly of the Hawks. Good listen. Check it out.
Warning. There is some sizable Wilson gushing in this interview between Dilfer, Brock, and Salk. So be forewarned, Hasselbeck.
And wait until you hear the final thing Trent says about RW @ the 18:05 mark. What the Ram QB coach said to him about RW. WOW.

is read by an actor.
"Dearest wife and mother dear,
when passing stop and drop a tear.
Think of one a sleeping here
and pray be kind to my children dear"

Wooden grave markers
were called 'bedstead' markers
because they looked like bedheads.
They were cheaper than stone tombstones
but they didn't last as long.
John's marker probably survived
because it was later used
to repair woodwork in the church tower.
John died young at 23.

A reader submitted this New York Times profile of a street preacher named Leyland George. He has a boombox ministry. The profile is very brief and totally interesting, but it does raise some questions:
"I realized I could reach more people in the streets than any church, so I made the streets my church," said Mr. George, 70, a Guyanese immigrant whose special brand of Christianity deplores the separation of people along racial lines.
Oh, that special unnamed brand of Christianity, one that deplores the separation of people along racial lines. Unlike all of those other unnamed brands of Christianity that do? What else do we know about the man's theology?
Mr. George's theme song is Bob Marley's "Rat Race," which refers to race and urban problems. On Thursdays, Mr. George often delivers his special "rat race sermons" on the same themes.
"There is only the human race," he said, "and when you divide it into groups, you get a rat race."
Mr. George remains silent and solemn on his thrice-weekly sermon-walks through the neighborhood, preferring to let the mixtapes speak for him. The portable radio and tape player hangs around his neck and delivers the day's sermon as he clasps his hands over it and walks in rhythm to the music, stopping at red lights and bobbing to the blaring beat of soca, calypso, ska or reggae — anything with a spiritual or positive social message and a West Indian feel.
Just some great color, eh? But the reader noted that the lack of details about this man's Christianity and wonders if the best way to describe George is "Christian":
The profile gives very little background about his beliefs (even leaving the key moment of his religious conversion - the death of his young daughter - to a sentence fragment in the sidebar). It does, however, say that his "theme song" is "Rat Race" by Bob Marley, perhaps the most famous practitioner of Rastafarianism who ever lived. It also mentions Mr. George's ballcap and handmade signs, which proclaim "Jah Love." Jah, of course, is the Rastafarian name for God.
There is a Rastafarian movement active in Guyana, and racial equality is a theme of Rastafari theology. Without more background, I have to wonder whether the NY Times has gotten this gentleman's religion completely wrong.
Without more details, it's impossible to know, isn't it! When the reporter wrote "Christian," did he mean that as something different than Rasta? Perhaps some more specific quotes or self-identification from the street preacher would have helped.
Since we're on the topic of the New York Times "Character Study" section, there was another piece by the same reporter a month or so ago that also led to questions. In this case it was about Baba Heru Semahj, formerly Officer James Georges of the New York Police Department. More:
Mr. Semahj has spent most of his life studying Kemetic culture and was ordained years ago as a Kemetic priest — the first in New York City, he says.
It does raise some issues of authority. When we discuss those stories about women being ordained as Catholic priests, we're frequently talking about authority. In this case, the reader wanted to know who ordained Mr. Semahj:
Was that person a priest of a particular Egyptian deity (that's how things went in the old days, but Mr. Semahj's deity-of-the-day system is understandable with Ptah's vocation's crisis). It's a loose end in the story, which is otherwise pretty complete with this fellow's journey.
These "Character Studies" are very brief, which doesn't give the reporter much room to substantiate the claims made by the always-colorful characters profiled therein. I rather liked the profile of Barbara Terry, for instance, a streetwalker who is still going at the age of 52. And Corey Kilgannon, the author of all these pieces, does a great job of incorporating religion into his stories. But the request for a few more specifics is sound.

Photographer Justin Bettman's Bagel Project is much more than a series of well produced photographs. Bettman meets with homeless people throughout California and exchanges a bagel for a story. He then documents each story with a photograph.
Bettman admits, "The homeless in our cities are often forgotten, as after a while they become a part of the city themselves; blending in like streetlights and bus stops, or any of the other things we walk by hundreds of times a day."
His images, though, reveal incredible depths of narrative in simple subtle facial expressions. He goes on to say, "I've been continually surprised by the fact that these people are content with their lives; if anything, they are happier to have a friend to talk to rather than the food provided."
Bettman's blog accompanies each photo with a story – an extremely interesting read that is difficult leaving.

(WENN) — Andy Cohen has defended Sarah Jessica Parker amid her feud with Kim Cattrall, saying she has "only said the nicest things" about her former co-star.
Last year, Cattrall reignited her feud with Parker, which reportedly began during the early days of shooting "Sex and the City," when she declared she didn't want any part of a third movie, and she later said in an interview with Piers Morgan that she was never friends with her co-stars.
My Mom asked me today "When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?" Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven't already) You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I'm writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona. Copy and paste link https://nypost.com/2017/10/07/inside-the-mean-girls-culture-that-destroyed-sex-and-the-city/
In early February, Cattrall announced that her brother Chris had been found dead, and Parker offered her condolences online and spoke about it while promoting her show "Divorce." However, 61-year-old Cattrall responded by slamming her on Instagram, saying she didn't need Parker's support and accused her of exploiting her tragedy to push her "nice girl" persona.
Talk show host Andy Cohen, who recently had Parker on his series "Watch What Happens Live," came to her defense on his Radio Andy show on Monday.
"She was doing press all last week for 'Divorce.' And you know, guess what? When you're doing press, you're asked the same questions about what's going on," he said. "So people, I'm sure, were like, 'What do you think of what happened?' And she simply and concisely expressed her condolences. I would not call that exploiting a tragedy. What was she supposed to do? Say something bad? I don't understand."
He also said that he hated it being called a catfight because it is completely one-sided, adding: "There's only one person fighting here."
"Sarah only said the nicest things about her. And then the same thing with the movie," he continued. "The only thing she's ever commented about the movie or about Kim not wanting to do the movie was that she was disappointed that the studio pulled the plug on it."
The 49-year-old said at first he thought Cattrall's Instagram post was fake because he couldn't believe she would go that far.
Cattrall wrote on Instagram: "Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now... You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I'm writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona."

Ripping off the band aid
Is there an easy, gentle way of telling someone that you've outgrown them?
I didn't think so.
I'm sorry A, I really am. But I don't have the bandwidth for this friendship anymore.

Sherene: That simple, hunh? Y'know, I'm *so* tempted to give it a try now.
JAP: I did, I did. Eventually. And then felt like a horrible person. But an inexplicably *happier* horrible person.

Blue Sunride:: But...I've never seen you here before! So, er, hello! And also, thank you? :)
Come Ph, let us all be socially dysfunctional together. Over gin, preferably.
See, I'm always at a bit of a loss when replying to anonymii. But umm, thank you. And about the bandwidth for people I've outgrown, err...why would I do that?
Oo! Fun idea!
This one would probably say, "Guess who has to find themselves some new friends now??" on the cover, in cheery, happy font, and have a mirror on the inside.
We should do a series!
Not at all, m'deah! You're confusing civilisation with complete and utter wussiness. I am the latter. Actually, the queen of the latter. A sheepish, wussy queen of the latter.
Goodness heavens! I haven't seen you in *ages*! How've you been??
And yes, the waking up at the same time would be great, but does it ever work that way? I don't know.
Also, does the knowing make it any easier?

The Lancaster County school board recently announced its three finalists for the position of superintendent.
In the 19 years that I have been back home, I have been observant, passionate and sometimes critical of our current superintendent and members of our school board. I have been an active servant, willing not only to voice my concerns but to participate in the process of educational change.
I am endorsing Tom Mullikin to replace U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney in South Carolina's 5th District. My reasoning is simple: Tom is the best man for the job.
That said, this is not an endorsement I take lightly, nor did I decide to lend my support without great reflection and consideration. Fact is, I have other friends in the district who are also campaigning for Mick's former House seat.
In his March 20 response to my earlier article, Michael Jedson contends that the Republicans said "no to anything/everything Obama tried to get through Congress."
What about the $800 billion stimulus approved in 2009 that disappeared into big bank bailouts and crony projects like Solyndra without creating many shovel-ready jobs or green-energy programs?
What about Obama's two Supreme Court appointments, which many Republicans supported? One of them boasted of having a Hispanic and feminist agenda in her mind, which should have disqualified her.
Last week the S.C. House approved the first round of nominees for the state's new Ethics Commission, and Sen. John Courson appeared before a judge to post bond dealing with criminal ethics-violation charges.
These two events, which happened within hours of each other, are the perfect backdrop to show how South Carolina's current ethics system has failed us and how the law that will take effect this month will likely suffer the same fate.
As we get closer to the end of the legislative session, I am glad to report that legislation affecting House District 45 has begun to move through the General Assembly. I wanted to give you an update on these three issues: homeowners association reform, public education funding and school choice.
HOA reform
As Westerners, most of us will probably never understand the mentality of terrorists. Nor will we accept their actions. The perversion of a religion seems to be the root cause of so many of these acts around the world.
Charismatic speakers reach out and touch the lost people of a society. These sad individuals are so desperate for something to give meaning to their lives that they are willing to sacrifice those same lives for the "greater glory," as espoused by these evil leaders.
Last week, I saw the future of flipping hamburgers – and most every other type of fast food. It was at a restaurant called Eatsa at 1626 K Street in Washington, D.C.
It was both fascinating and at the same time frightening – for a whole lot of reasons but especially for fast-food workers in South Carolina, and everywhere else for that matter.
"Come on, what's with these people? It's lemonade. Read the sign. Read it – lemonade."
I'm not Ice T, but I feel like him, every time I get a phone call, read the wrong address or hear someone claiming to live or that their business is located in Fort Mill, when locals know the truth.
It's Indian Land! Come on, read the sign. Read it – Indian Land.
Tragically, in the first three months of this year, South Carolina has lost 40 citizens to fire-related incidents. This nearly doubles the five-year average of 22 fire fatalities during the same three-month period.
As the newly appointed state fire marshal, my first priority is identifying the contributing factors leading to these deaths and utilizing the resources of South Carolina to keep this number from continuing to rise. We cannot bring back the lives lost, but through state, local, private, and public partnerships we can do a lot to prevent future loss.
Billions of dollars flow through South Carolina every year – to contractors and others – for roads and other infrastructure projects.
The money comes from three pots, essentially: funds sent from the General Assembly through the state Department of Transportation; federal dollars channeled through SCDOT; and money, usually borrowed, spent by the state Transportation Infrastructure Bank, or STIB.

Last Friday Friends Schools League leader Germantown Friends traveled to the Main Line for a lacrosse match against Shipley School, one of the two teams tied for second place in the FSL.
The visiting Tigers had little difficulty in quashing the challenge from the Shipley Gators, ringing up seven of the first eight goals scored on this sunny, temperate afternoon and continuing on to win, 14-6. Exactly a week earlier, GFS (12-3 overall, 4-0 FSL) had knocked off defending league champ Friends Central, 11-10, dropping the Phoenix down into a tie for second place with Shipley, which brought a 3-1 FSL record into last Friday's contest.
Harking back to the emotional win over FC, Tigers head coach Katie Bergstrom Mark noted, "There's always a danger after beating one of your biggest rivals that you can have a letdown and be vulnerable to other losses, but I think we've stayed focused.
"We've got a great goalie combination," she continued, "and we've been feeding off our defense lately. Our transitions coming out of the defense are much improved, and on attack we've learned to become more patient. Our scoring is very evenly distributed, and we're getting more goals off of assists than earlier in the season."
Germantown has routinely been splitting time in goal between senior Lauren Shinn and junior Dana Schulman. On Friday, Shinn started and made three saves, then Schulman stepped in for the second period, making five stops.
Neither of the GFS keepers got much of a workout compared to the Gators' netminder, Alli Kothari, who was under attack much of the afternoon.
"Their goalie was excellent today," Bergstrom Mark said of Shipley stopper, who finished with 17 saves.
Still, the visitors found the gaps often enough to assure a comfortable victory. There were hat tricks for juniors Schuyler Nissen and Claire Schmidt, and for sophomore Annie Tyson. All three found the net in the first half, as did sophomore Greta Meyer (one goal). Four other Tigers joined in on the scoring in the second period to add one goal apiece;
senior Sophie Mercuris, junior Caroline Myran, and sophomores Grayson Melby and Emma Wagner.
Myran and senior Katherine Walden played key roles in keeping Shipley's transition offense in check. Gators high scorer Sophie Katz wound up with four goals, but only had one over the first 33 minutes of the game. Anna Scutt shot the first two goals of the day for the home team.
"Sophie Katz is a very good player," Bergstrom Mark said, "but obviously we were aware of her. One of the things I'm pleased to see is our improvement in evaluating the tendencies of opposing players."
Schmidt drove to the net for the first goal of the game about five minutes in, and soon it was 2-0 thanks to a bouncer by Nissen. Scutt struck for Shipley with 16:32 to go in the opening half, but any notion that this was going to be a close contest faded over the next eight minutes, when Tyson's three markers were interspersed with goals by Nissen and Meyer to make it 7-1.
Shipley put up the last two points of the period, but after the intermission GFS ran off three goals in a row and maintained control the rest of the way. Wagner's goal, with eight minutes remaining, spread the score to 14-4, then Katz stuck Shipley's last two goals on the board.

Restorative and healthy food of the highest order. When feeling a little run down (or in my case, like you've been overdoing things), chicken noodle soup really does hit the spot. But yeah, you might have guessed, in my world it's got to be oriental.
I got the idea for this dish from a lovely blog called Tes at Home which I found through Tastespotting. The image alone whet my appetite and I knew instantly when looking at it that I needed to cook it as soon as possible. So post Friday night fun, today became that day.
The dish takes a little while to cook if you haven't got any homemade chicken stock hanging around, but it's relatively easy and mainly involves putting the pot on the hob and leaving it be - so low involvement even though it takes a while.
Making it will reward you with deliciously clean and aromatic oriental flavours and the lightest, fluffiest little chicken dumplings. As you might imagine, the dish would benefit from some red chilli so if you're into the hot stuff add a little to the meatball mixture, and on serving, be prepared to not want to share it with anyone else.
For two:
1 whole chicken
2 large knobs of ginger, sliced length ways
6 spring onions, 4 top and tailed and 2 top and tailed and finely sliced
1 clove of garlic
A handful of fresh mint
A shot of light soy sauce
10 star anise
A tablespoon of black peppercorns
3 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
2 onions, peeled and quartered
2 egg whites and 50mls water together in a bowl with a little salt
3 celery stalks, roughly chopped
A couple of drizzles of toasted sesame oil
Skinny rice noodles, made up as per the pack instructions and cooled ready for use
Sea salt flakes
A clean tea towel
- Start by removing the breasts of the chicken from the carcass - you do this by slicing down the top bone either side and cutting the breasts away. Discard the skin and set the breasts aside
- Now remove the chicken legs and place the carcass and legs into a deep saucepan with the celery, onion, carrot, half the ginger, star anise and black peppercorns
- Cover with enough cold water to cover the lot and put it on the hob on a medium heat. Simmer uncovered for 3 hours then turn the heat off and leave it to cool a little
- Whilst its simmering you can make the meatballs (I made 20 smallish balls from the mixture). Into a food processor combine the other half of the ginger, garlic, 4 whole spring onions, sesame oil and a scrunch of salt and blitz until they form a paste, add the chicken breasts and blitz again until its all finely minced and the ingredients are all combined. Then using your hands simply make up the small meatballs and then place on a plate into the fridge to firm up
- Remove the chicken legs and pick off any meat from the carcass and set them aside - you don't need this chicken meat for the recipe but it tastes delicious and you can use it in something else another day
- Strain the liquor through a fine mesh sieve and discard all the vegetables and bits
- Add the soy sauce to the pot and b ring the strained liquor to the boil, once boiling take it off the heat and stir in the egg whites, stir through and leave for a minute, then strain again through a fine mesh sieve - the egg helps collect loads of the impurities
- To make the liquor super clear and clarified, you can now either use a special muslin sieve, or you can fashion one out of a clean tea towel and an extra pair of hands. Take a clean saucepan and hold the tea towel to the top of it, forming a well in which to pour the liquid into, then do this gradually, whilst holding onto the tea towel to keep it suspended. Pour all the liquid through it and the towel will catch all the nasties and leave you with a saucepan of clear and clarified stock
- Pop the liquid onto simmer gently and add enough cold water to the pot to give you enough liquor for two of you to eat (depends on how much it reduced before really so this isnt exact)
- Now whilst the pan is on a medium heat, pop your chicken meatballs into the pan. Once they're done you'll find they float to the top - this takes around 6-7 minutes. As the meatballs start to float more impurities will come to the surface - you simply need to skim these off with a ladle
- Place the rice noodles into the pan to heat through along with the spring onion and shredded meat
- Ladle into bowls, eat, and feel good

socio-organizational Church-Turing hypothesis
The recognition that organizations perform, among other things an information-processing role, and the supposition that this means we are likely to see similar structural elements and processes in the physical and social aspects of the organizations as we do in electronic computers. See:http://www.hcibook.com/alan/topics/ecology/
spreading activation
This is a computational process that determines activation values over a set of interassociated cognitive structures. The spread of activation from one cognitive structure to another is determined by weighting values on associations among chunks. Activation values indicate degree of relevance to ongoing cognitive processes.
In computing, this usually refers to the inner memory of a computer at a particular point of time, but more generally it is that in the present that encapsulates all that of the past that can effect things in the future.
state transition network (STN)
A representation of dynamic systems including states (usually as labeled circles or boxes) and arcs labeled by actions that form transitions between the states.
status-event analysis
A collection of informal and formal analysis techniques that focus on the differences and relationships among discrete event phenomena (e.g., a key press, a project deadline) and more continuous status phenomena (e.g., the current mouse position, the weather, the current screen display) See:http://www.hcibook.com/alan/topics/status/
strategies analysis
A way of analyzing work that focuses on different ways that a particular control task might be carried out. An analytic phase of cognitive work analysis.
See state transition network.
A goal that must be accomplished in service of a higher-level goal. Goals are often expressed as a hierarchy of goals and several levels of subgoals. The lowest level of subgoals are accomplished through operators, which are decomposed no further.
symbolic interactionism
Originated in the social psychology of George Herbert Mead and the sociological methodology of Herbert Blumer, this places emphasis on the individual in explanations of the transactions of people and society.
syndetic modeling framework
A framework that looks at the interactions among different kinds of models—in particular, models of system behavior and models of human activity. See Barnard, May, Duke, and Duce (2000).

Plans are already in the works for a reunion of Wabash alumni who sang in the Glee Club. This reunion builds on the fantastic turnout five years ago when close to 100 alumni returned to campus to catch up with one another and to raise their voices in song.
The reunion will be held on Homecoming Weekend, which is September 28-29, 2007.
While the precise program is still in the works, alumni who wish to return should mark the date on their calendars.
"Richard Bowen, our Glee Club Director, is very excited about bringing together alumni from many eras and unite them in song," said Alumni Director Tom Runge '71.
"The Glee Club is like another fraternity here," added Runge. "They're great ambassadors for the College and this reunion, on the 175th anniversary of the College, will give our current members a chance to meet the legends of old."
The highlights of the reunion will include an all-voice performance at the Homecoming Alumni Chapel; the Celebrating Leadership donor recognition luncheon; singing the National Anthem before the football game; and the Homecoming Concert Saturday evening.
Mark your calendars for September 28-29!

So many factors can make or break a weight loss program. When programs succeed, credit is usually given to factors like diet, willpower, supplements, and proper exercise. When programs fail, that's also where the blame usually falls. Those factors are important, but what's perhaps more important is something that doesn't get discussed as often; the psychology of successful weight loss. And there's much more to that than simply willpower.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02) released the following statement to commemorate the upcoming inauguration of the 44th President of the United States of America, President Barack Obama on Monday, January 21, 2013.
"Four years ago, we proved to the world that in the United States any child—black or white, girl or boy, rich or poor—can dream of becoming President of our great nation. Today, we are reminded still that no hope is unfounded. The echoes of President Lincoln's words at Gettysburg still ring true—our government is still, "of the people, by the people, for the people." These words we should never forget.
"Truly, the Presidential Inauguration is a celebration of what makes America great. It is a celebration of the American spirit that unifies a vast country and a diverse group of people, despite our distinct differences.
"As a Member of Congress, I realize that our nation has some challenging times ahead. Many Americans are still without jobs, measures must be taken to put our fiscal house in order, and difficult decisions lie ahead. Here in Washington, we must put aside partisanship and focus on solutions that move our nation forward. Truly, it is only by working together that we will bring about necessary and effective change.
"It will not be easy, but together we will prevail through these tough times. I know that in the United States of America, no challenge is too difficult—for as a united people, we shall overcome.
"The Presidential Inauguration on January 21, 2013 is not just a celebration for President Barack Obama. It is a celebration for our nation and every American. It is a celebration of hope for a more prosperous and a more peaceful world."

Healthcare in 2021? What will we be doing in 10 years time? Well, according to Jim Carroll, keynote speaker for the opening session, definitely not what we're doing today! He presented an invigorating view of what our healthcare systems could be looking like and it's up to us to decide how we get there. We'll be accepting his challenge to take three scary ideas away and think about how we can make them work, rather than the reasons why they won't. The poll4 system was fun and it was definitely the first time we'd been asked to turn our phones on during a presentation!

OBD Onboard Diagnostic System - On Board Diagnostics BasicsPosted in How To: Electrical on September 1, 2009
Replacing a worn-out, oil-burning, smoke-belching engine in a 4x4 is a big goal for many enthusiasts. Swapping in a late-model, fuel-efficient, more powerful engine is a great idea, but when it comes to the actual engine swap, many enthusiasts are stumped by the vehicle's complicated electronics.
The vehicle's onboard diagnostic systems (OBD-I and -II) are sometimes difficult to understand. Not only do state and federal smog laws need to be figured out, but the swap to a later-model engine can become complicated with messy wiring and additional emissions components. OBD-I and -II systems started as a requirement by some states (most notably California) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for inspection, diagnosis, and reduction of vehicle emissions. OBD systems were first seen in the mid '70s, but weren't mandatory in some states until the mid '80s. In 1996 OBD-II systems were required on all vehicles sold in the U.S. to make sure vehicles were performing at OEM standards
Many OBD-I and OBD-II managed engines make great swaps, especially into older Jeeps and trucks. For example: a late-model Jeep Cherokee 4.0L engine swapped into a Jeep four-cylinder YJ or CJ, or a GM LS series powerplant dropped into an early truck or a rock buggy. However, if the rig must comply with state or federal emissions regulations, all the OBD emissions components must be swapped into the rig. A few of the components needed for a compliant swap include the ECM, fuel pump and relay, 02 sensors, and crank position sensor, factory instrument cluster, and knock sensor. The best way to gather these components is to salvage them from one donor vehicle. We highly recommend the factory service manual and scan tool when these swaps are completed.
OBD monitored engines aren't as easy to figure out as an old fuel-fed carbureted engine, but once they are properly tuned they offer exceptional performance benefits. OBD managed engines run efficiently and reliably, and the systems can be tweaked for increased performance.
A number of companies manufacture programmers that will modify a vehicle's OBD-II system for increased horsepower and torque, better fuel efficiency, and more performance for specific conditions. On some early OBD-I systems the computer chip can be replaced. A number of companies supply emissions-compliant and off-road-only systems, and they can help tune the performance of a freshly swapped OBD monitored vehicle. Good luck!
OBD-II diagnostic systems are tunable, and numerous tuners, scanners, and programmers are available for almost all vehicles. Gains in horsepower, torque, and performance are possible. These units plug into the OBD-II port below the dash and can help diagnose problems with real-time data to pinpoint the exact components having problems and make repairs quicker and less expensive.
