Anyone building a custom road glide bagger with a 26 or 30 wheel will love the new product from Pickard USA. The new raked Road Glide fairing bracket is perfect for any custom build. This bracket corrects the fairing angle after raking the neck on a 30 or 26 wheel. It fits 2013 and down road glides. For more information about the raked Harley Road Glide fairing bracket call 972-231-1298 or visit the website at PickardUSA.com

The inner fairing bracket is made of heavy gauge steel and its boxed in to cover the wiring harness where it mounts to the frame. It is very easy to install this raked fairing bracket for Harley-Davidson Road Glide models.

To begin installation the wires must first be pulled through the front of the bracket starting from the back. Next slide the inner fairing bracket over the frame and mount it the same as the stock bracket, using the same stock hardware.

After bolting everything together there will be some play in the bracket so it can move back and forth. These bolts should be left loose so the fairing can be adjusted later once it has been installed. There are 4 studs protruding from the inner fairing bracket which will be used to mount the inner fairing. Simply slide the inner fairing onto the 4 bolts and secure it in place with the nuts.

Once all the nuts are securely tightened onto the bolts the fairing angle can be set and the 2 bolts holding the bracket to the frame can be tightened. This completes the installation of the raked Harley Road Glide inner fairing support bracket. Be sure to ask about the new hidden road glide fairing support perfect for baggers which also holds audio & stereo amps and air compression equipment for air ride suspension systems.

Over the past five years, solar investment tax credits have helped mitigate the decline of the Solar Water Heater Installation industry, which otherwise suffered from reduced demand due to the real estate markets collapse and tepid recovery. Although an assortment of federal and state investments into solar energy have subsidized the cost of industry services, they have been insufficient to restore the industry to its prerecession heights. Since first being introduced in 2006, the tax credits have been extended through 2016 and caps on subsidies to residential customers have been removed. Despite economic challenges, these policies have underpinned moderate growth over the past five years.

According to IBISWorld Industry Analyst Edward Rivera, Most of industry revenue comes from residential installations; therefore, the health of the housing market plays a large role in determining the fate of solar water heater installers. The industry has benefited in recent years from a rise in housing starts and increased home renovations. This resulted in more solar water heaters installed in new construction projects, says Rivera.

The industry is highly fragmented, with low barriers to entry and a prevalence of independent operators that service local markets. Participation in the industry is expected to expand in the coming five years as construction companies increasingly offer solar water heater installation services. Revenue is also expected to grow at a faster pace through 2019, though its uncertain whether the federal policies that have been so favorable to the industry in recent years will continue. Regardless, technological advancements in solar water heaters and rising demand from the corporate sector are expected to drive the most demand for industry services.

As the city continues to deal with bitterly cold temperatures, one Brooklyn tenant battles to get heat in his apartment. NY1s Susan Jhun filed the following NY1 For You report.

"It's just inhumane, said Bed-Stuy tenant Tracy Berkley.

Cold to be precise, just plain cold. That's the condition Berkley has been living in for the past couple of months.

"Since November 1, I've been without heat. There was a fire in the building, said Berkley.

Which has left the asthmatic renter in the cold using any means to stay warm.

"During the day I've got the oven on and I've got the electric heaters on and I've got blankets, said Berkley.

And at night, Berkley says he gets little sleep since he worries about the electric heaters catching on fire.

Berkley says the building's manager refuses to turn the new boiler on to provide heat. Tenants have an order to vacate at the end of the month due to unsafe conditions but until then they say they n eed heat.

"I want the heat on until I have to leave. If the owner is not interested in turning the heat on for the sixty days that he's giving me then pay my broker's fee and pay my first and last months security and I'll move out tomorrow, said Berkley.

We contacted the manager for the building and he told us even though a new boiler was installed and heat can be provided, the pipeline size is not big enough for the boiler, cooking gas and hot water heater. He says he knows that it's cold and that's why he's encouraging tenants to move out.

: A portion of an installation by Swiss artist Christian Waldvogel at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale was reported missing on Wednesday evening.

A 3D-printed steel tile that was part of his installation titled Recently, the non-flat-earth paradigm was reported missing from the main venue at Aspinwall House around 4.30 p.m. on Wednesday. The organisers informed the police immediately. Police arrived on the spot and frisked the visitors and others present in the area, but could not find the installation. The organisers have not given us a written complaint. So we have not registered a case yet, said a police officer. Officials are examining the CCTV footage and have begun searching the area to find the missing work.

The installation was inspired by the artists finding that for a person in Kochi, Indias northernmost point lies 125 km underneath the horizona fall that is equal to 15 times the height of the countrys tallest mountain range: the Himalayas.

Swiss artists work goes missing

The B.C. Supreme Court has found the Nanaimo parents of a 14-year-old boy liable for more than $48,000 in damages caused by a school prank.

In a decision released Thursday, Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick said during lunch break on Jan. 17, 2012 in response to a dare, Carson Dean put a padlock on a sprinkler head in Wellington secondary school.

That set off the firefighting system and the alarm causing extensive water damage.

Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District No. 68 sued parents, Cheryl and Kevin Dean, and won $48,630.47 plus interest and legal costs yet to be assessed for the two-day November trial on Vancouver Island.

I am sure that this is a very unfortunate result for the Dean family and perhaps it will be for other families in the future, Justice Fitzpatrick said.

This was clearly the result of a young boy (now 17) misbehaving and thinking that the only grief to come of it would be to (his friend and the locks owner) Ben and perhaps the janitor in removing the padlock. Obviously, more dire consequences followed.

The central issue concerned interpretation of section 10 of the School Act, which says: If property of a board is destroyed, damaged, lost or converted by the intentional or negligent act of a student that student and that students parents are jointly and severally liable to the board in respect of the act of that student.

The section has received scant attention from the courts over the years despite being enacted more than half a century ago.

The Deans argued their son was not negligent and that the act imposed liability only if the student intentionally caused the damage in, say, an act of vandalism.

No court has yet wrestled with the interpretation issue that arises in this case, Justice Fitzpatrick noted.

MAGOFFIN COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - The Magoffin County Justice Center had to be closed Thursday morning because of flooding.

"The sprinkler system on the circuit side of the building burst, it flooded the circuit court room with this, it's a black water that comes from the sprinkler system and the water just kept coming and coming and coming" says Magoffin County Circuit Clerk, Tonya Arnett-Ward.

Court was in session Thursday morning when a sprinkler in the Justice Building started spraying water, leading officials to evacuate the building.

As time went on pipes began to burst causing the water damage to worsen.

"Its just devastating that we've lost so much equipment, the district court room is flooded, the circuit court room, the carpets, all that's destroyed" says Arnett-Ward.

Once officials were able to stop water from coming in they began repairing the building.

"Repair the water leak, cap it off so we can get water back in the building turn the heat on and get the electric back on" says Magoffin County Emergency Management Director, Mike Wilson.

Workers in the building say this isn't the first time the Justice Center has had water issues.

"Last year the sprinkler system on this side of building on the family court side of the building burst and we had a leak but nothing compared to this one" says Arnett-Ward

Emergency Management Director, Mike Wilson says he believes repairs will be made quickly.

A nursing home in Clarence, Mo. was evacuated Thursday afternoon after a frozen sprinkler system led to what staff thought was a fire.

According to an employee, 29 residents were evacuated safely from the Clarence Care Center around 3 p.m.

A sprinkler system froze and broke, causing water to flood the buildings community room, shorting out several lights.

The short created smoke which set off the buildings fire alarm.

There were no injuries or complications from smoke for any resident.

The 29 residents were taken to the nearby Clarence Medical Clinic.

Seven later went home with family, while 22 residents were taken to the Salt River Nursing Home in Shelbina, Mo. where Clarence Care Center staff members will be on hand to assist them.

An employee told KHQA the residents taken to Shelbina were in good health after the move.

Workers were fixing the buildings sprinkler system as of 7:20 p.m. Thursday, as staff told KHQA they expect to have all residents moved back into the building by Friday night.

The Clarence Care Center suffered water damage as a result of the incident.

U.S. stocks dropped sharply on Friday, pulling benchmarks back into the red for the year, as the December jobs report topped expectations but hourly earnings declined and investors tracked events in France after the massacre at Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris.

"It was a really positive jobs report. I know the market sold off here in an aftermath reaction, but we just had an incredible rally, it's a Friday, we have the situation in Paris, we're setting up for the upcoming weekend and we have earnings starting next week," JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade, said of investor unease.

"And then there's the crude-oil situation, until you see three weeks of stability in crude, it's going to spell volatility in the market," Kinahan added.

The CBOE Volatility Index, a measure of investor uncertainty, rose 7.4 percent to 18.27.

"It's been such a volatile week, people shouldn't read too much into one-day moves," David Kelly, chief market strategist at JPMorgan Funds, said, referring to a week that has so far had the Dow Jones Industrial Average finishing each day a triple-digit move in either direction.

The figures from the Labor Department had the U.S. economy adding 252,000 to payrolls last month, and the November already robust gain revised higher, to 353,000, prompting stock-index futures to reverse higher ahead of the open.

But the enthusiasm proved short lived.

"We had better-than-expected payrolls gains, a drop in unemployment, but we didn't see any wage growth," Kelly said.

Another economic report had wholesale inventories climbing 0.8 percent in November, above estimates

WASHINGTON--The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's failure to examine J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s investment unit ahead of the bank's 2012 "London whale" trading debacle stemmed from turf battles with other regulators, overreliance on J.P. Morgan's solid reputation and financial-crisis-related distractions, according to the Fed's watchdog.

A full version of the Fed's Office of Inspector General's report on its investigation into the incident sheds additional light on how the New York Fed stumbled in its oversight of the bank's chief investment office, where the traders engaging in the problematic derivatives transactions were based.

The inspector general previously had released only a four-page summary of its report, which said the New York Fed failed to examine the investment office ahead of the trading debacle although a team of Fed experts had recommended a " full-scope examination" in August 2009.

The New York Fed team never carried that examination out. The Wall Street Journal obtained the full report through an open-records request, though passages were redacted.

The 77-page report sheds new light on tensions between the Fed and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which oversaw J.P. Morgan, as well as between Fed staff in Washington and New York.

In its response to the report, top Fed officials expressed some resistance to the inspector general's conclusions.

Michael Gibson, the Fed's director of banking supervision and regulation, pinned the "whale" failures on a lack of resources.

"The resource challenges faced by the Federal Reserve System and the FRBNY during this period cannot be underestimated," he said.

In light of that, the Fed believes it was "wholly appropriate...to rely on the assessments of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and JPM's internal audit department in lieu of conducting its own examination," he said.

Hackensack Councilwoman Rose Greenman and Zoning Officer Al Borrelli at a hearing in Hackensack on Thursday.

HACKENSACK City Councilwoman Rose Greenman claimed on Thursday that a zoning complaint against her that was dismissed in Municipal Court was an act of "retaliation" against her by the mayor and deputy mayor for her opposition to their agenda.

Mayor John Labrosse and Deputy Mayor Kathleen Canestrino, when reached by phone separately on Thursday, fiercely rejected the accusation as "absolutely" false. They each said they had nothing to do with an attempt by zoning officials to inspect Greenman's residence.

Greenman's claim appears to point to continuing division on the council, which came into office in 2013 promising reform after decades of control by the Zisa political family.

On Thursday morning, Judge Roy F. McGeady, the presiding judge for the Bergen County municipal courts, dismissed a city citation that alleged Greenman denied a city inspector access to her apartment in a Prospect Avenue high-rise building where she lives. Inspectors reportedly were checking on a complaint that Greenman was operating her law office from her residence, an alleged violation of residential zoning.

Greenman said city Zoning Officer Al Borrelli had told her that Labrosse and Canestrino were pressuring him through Art Koster, who then was the interim city manager, to do the inspection.

Reached by phone on Thursday afternoon, Borrelli denied Greenman's account.

Borrelli said that after he received a request from Koster to inspect the residence, he mailed two notices, the first on Aug. 7 and the second on Aug. 15, but got no response. He issued the citation on Aug. 26.

Borrelli said after the hearing that Greenman faced a fine of as much as $1,250 for denying access and a fine of up to $2,000 had a zoning violation been found.
