We US riders have waited through the 2016 EICMA concept unveiling of the KTM 790 Duke, the 2017 product unveiling, the teaser videos, and finally the agony of knowing that the European market would get the bike a full model year before it would cross the Atlantic. We endured the glowing reviews from overseas and bided our time until the 2019 model introduction season rolled around. That time has finally come. 

(7) This multiple dwelling in Tampa, Florida, has a fully compliant NFPA 13 residential sprinkler system. CPVC plastic sprinkler piping supplies sprinkler heads in the attic and in the combustible concealed space between floors.

He was named co-Player of the Year in the MAC Freedom while earning first-team status for the fourth consecutive year.

With the upper slide bars fixed in the right position, the team have now started to fit the lower slide bars.

Mosquitoes are the best known disease vector. Others include ticks, flies, sandflies, fleas, triatomine bugs and some freshwater aquatic snails.

The Browns are sending a first- and third-round pick in 2019 along with safety Jabrill Peppers to the Giants for Beckham, one of the NFL’s top players, said the people who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because league rules prohibit teams from announcing trades until 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Jerry Palm started writing about sports on the Internet right after Al Gore invented it. He was the first to bring RPI out in the open and is one of the pioneers of predicting the March Madness bracket…. Full Bio

There are lots and lots of other details to talk about here. The air filter is now accessible from the side. The brakes have been revamped; there’s a new master cylinder in front and a huge 250mm rotor in the rear. The exhaust is different, with a longer head pipe and a quieter muffler. A few things are the same too. The KX still has launch control (a feature Kawasaki introduced), and each bike comes with three color-coded electronic couplers that allow you to richen or lean the EFI mapping. For further tuning, Kawasaki sells a handheld electronic calibration controller, but it will cost you $700.

Not treated with some drug and declared cured only to come back with a vengeance, but actually cured by some pharmaceutical discovery.

WILKES-BARRE — One of the young men prominently depicted in the “Kids for Cash” documentary about the Luzerne County judicial scandal died last week, director and producer Robert May confirmed Saturday. Charlie Balasavage passed away […]

Wankel: all the inefficiency and environmental damage of a 2 stroke with half the power and reliability!

It’s a big stretch from a transmission ECU / spool valve controller.. The engine valves are quite massive in comparison to the spool valves in a cars transmission, and must move much, much faster many more times. (3600 RPM’s = 30 valve cycles per second) Your transmission averages a few cycles per minute.. In addition forces are much, much larger than in a fluid control valve. There is a reason why engine valve springs are so massive – you need a lot of pressure to hold them closed. Cylinder pressure in a heavily loaded engine can exceed 1000 PSI. If your valves are not held tightly closed the escaping gasses act like a blow-torch and cut groves in to the valves, “burning” them. In addition, if you really want to make the engine run to its full potential, you need to vary the valve lift profile, you cant just “bang-bang” open-close the valves. That wont work. That’s why you see VVT-LI engines, variable valve timing and lift height control. The idea is that you are trying to maximize the velocity of the airflow in the intake manifold suck that you get a “hammer head” effect that squeezes more air into the cylinder – and just before the “squeeze” air starts to reverse direction across the valve, you want to close it shut. What complicates this is that the piston’s velocity is constantly changing, (in a sinusoidal manner) so you need to change the valve profile in a manner that is non-linear if you want to achieve laminar airflow at high velocity.
