Everything Robert Griffin III is under the microscope these days, including a visit he received from his father in the Redskins locker room just after Monday night's loss to the 49ers.
Tarik El-Bashir of CSNWashington.com reported that father and son "seemed to have a lengthy and, at times, tense conversation" before and after Griffin addressed the media. There has been some criticism and much discussion about the visit in the days since the game, which Griffin talked about during his visit with reporters on Monday.
Griffin said he was "shocked" to see his father in the locker room, but that the visit was nothing more than concern about Griffin's well being after a kick to the groin during the game. Griffin III went on to say that there are no ill effects from the kick — "There will be a Griffin IV" — and that he hoped criticism of his father's trip to the locker room would stop.
"Family members sometimes come in the locker room," Griffin said, via the Washington Post. "So I'm not gonna say whose family members are in the locker room. It's just he showed up. Yeah, I was shocked that he was there. But he meant no harm. And anybody out there that's going after my dad needs to back up. That is my father. I will protect my family. And he served 21 years in the military. I know that's not an excuse for anything that he does. But he's not overstepping any bounds. So … I hope people respect that and will back off."
If the season had not gone off the rails in Washington, there probably wouldn't be anything made of a locker room visit like this. It has gone that way, though, and the only question left now is how ugly things will get before the season comes to a close.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The Penn State Accounting External Advisory Board met early last month to consider issues confronting accounting educators in the Smeal College of Business.
The 20 board members include some of Penn State's most successful alumni and friends, representing many of the largest employers in the accounting industry. The board meets twice each year to provide perspectives on the curriculum and other aspects of the Smeal experience that affect students' preparation for their careers.
"The members of our advisory board provide a valued perspective on the curricular innovations, the current needs of employers across many industries, and the skill sets our students must build to meet those demands," said Steven Huddart, chair of the Department of Accounting at Smeal.
The October meeting's agenda included a report on the department's competitive position relative to other top-tier accounting programs across the country and an update on sustainability-related project opportunities for all Smeal students.
"The members of our advisory board provide a valued perspective on the curricular innovations, the current needs of employers across many industries and the skill sets our students must build to meet those demands."
-- Steven Huddart, chair of the Department of Accounting
Sajay Samuel, clinical associate professor of accounting, spoke to the board about the new curriculum and broader employment possibilities for students pursuing the corporate control and financial management concentration. In May, the first cohort of about 60 students will graduate with the concentration. The concentration provides preparation for careers in corporate accounting and eligibility to sit for the Certified Management Accountant exam, one of the key steps to earning the CMA designation.
Finally, Director of Career and Corporate Connections Meg Handley talked to the board about students' transition to the workplace, including the particular strengths employers see coming from Smeal graduates and how students' soft skills, especially writing and a professional mindset, can be further developed.
The newest members of the board are Eric Bocan, Class of 1996, senior vice president, corporate audit, at Fidelity Investments; Ron Sloan, Class of 1970, retired controller at U.S. Steel; Steve Patras, Class of 1995, partner at KPMG in Philadelphia; Mike Vierheller, deputy chief auditor for the American Red Cross; and, Chris Votta, a recently retired EY partner and past Penn State parent.
The board is chaired by Tara Weiner, Class of 1976, managing partner, greater Philadelphia region, Deloitte LLP.
Smeal offers accounting programs to students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including a bachelor's degree, a five-year program integrating the bachelor's and master's degrees and a one-year master of accounting program. The college also offers a doctorate in accounting.

I finally finished up the socks I started while on holiday. I've been wearing them around..... trying to decide what I think of them. I think I will knit another pair...the pattern was very, very easy....the perfect nearly mindless knitting for traveling. Next time though, I will use a smaller needle as these feel a little looser than I'd like. Knit with Berroco Vintage in Colour Way 5192 'Chana Dal' with 4.5mm dpns, and pattern from Ann Budd from the2009 Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts Magazine.
If you only buy one issue of Interweave Knits during the course of a year....the Holiday Gifts Issue is The One To Buy! The recommended yarn for the project was Louet Gems Worsted which I was not interested in as it had no nylon content. Who wants a pair of hand knit socks that aren't going to last. And if you are gifting them....chance are not good that the receiver will be interested in darning them if they get a hole in them. One skein of Berroco Vintage made with only inches of yarn left to spare.
This is really a great pattern for the first time sock knitter. It knits up quickly, is a fairly easy pattern and they have a bit more interest than a very basic plain knit sock.

Mute Swan Protecting Her Cygnets at Main Street Overlook Park
LAKELAND, FL (October 9, 2012) — The public is invited to attend the unveiling of the eight foot bronze sculpture titled Mute Swan Protecting Her Cygnets that will take place at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, October 16th at Main Street Overlook Park (Main Street & Massachusetts Avenue overlooking Lake Mirror). There will be live music from the Brian Sutherland Trio and refreshments. There will also be a fireworks show at dusk. Sandra Trattner and Steve Wolfson generously donated the bronze sculpture in honor of their parents Elaine and Wil Wolfson.
Steve Wolfson said, "This piece of art tells our family story with the mother swan protecting her young and where it will stand is near the place where my grandfather stood when he first came to Lakeland in 1909." He added, "My sister and I are grateful to dedicate the sculpture in honor of our mom and dad. Although we don't live in Lakeland, the City has been such a huge part of our lives."
The Wolfson family has a rich history that starts in Europe with Cy Wolfson emigrating from Russia to Ellis Island, NY and eventually settling in Lakeland as an early pioneer. He became one of the very first retail shop owners in downtown. In the 1920's Cy and Frances Wolfson owned and operated the Famous Department Store on the south side of Munn Park. Wil is one of the four Wolfson children who grew up in Lakeland. He attended the University of Florida Pharmacy School and served his country during WWII. Wil married Elaine in 1946 and they had two children Sandra and Steve Wolfson. Wil opened his first Lakeland pharmacy in 1953.
As a way of honoring their parents, the Steve and Sandra dedicated the bronze swan sculpture by artist Ian G. Brennan. Brennan has been a contemporary sculptor and woodcarver to the British Royal Household since 1989. In the early 1950's The Queen of England gifted a pair of Mute Swans from the Royal Flock to the City of Lakeland. The descendent swan population remains a treasure to the community today.
Join the Wolfson family at Main Street Overlook Park as they unveil the larger than life Mute Swan Protecting Her Cygnets on Tuesday, October 15th at 6 p.m.

Northern Grads Continue Outstanding Record of Success on the Bar Exam
Graduates of Ohio Northern University continue their record of outstanding achievement on the Ohio bar examination. In results announced today by the Ohio Supreme Court, graduates of the College finished second among those of all Ohio law schools who took the examination in July, 2012. Ohio Northern's overall pass rate of 89 percent was the highest among all private Ohio law schools and well above the overall pass rate of 80.8 percent.
The 91 percent pass rate for graduates of Ohio Northern who took the test for the first time in July, 2012, was also excellent. First time takers outperformed graduates of Case Western, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Cleveland State and Dayton.
Stephen Veltri, Interim Dean of the College of Law, said, "We are very proud of our graduates. These fine results are a mark of their industry and ability and we are confident they will be a credit to the Ohio bar."

NEW YORK, May 29 (Reuters) - The failure of a second high voltage line to New York's Long Island prompted local officials on Wednesday to urge energy savings as they ordered in mobile generators to shore up the island's shaky power supply.
"Conservation will be essential ... especially if Long Island experiences a repeat of last year's record-breaking temperatures and humidity," Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) Chairman Richard Kessel said in a statement.
Last summer, the Island came within a couple hundred megawatts of blacking out during a long heat wave, when air conditioners push power demand to its annual peak.
To ease concerns among Long Island's 1.1 million electric customers, Kessel pointed out that LIPA has "sufficient electricity supplies available to meet normal summer demand" following an aggressive program to upgrade transmission lines and build more power plants.
But much of the hard work has been jeopardized by the loss since mid-May of two of the main undersea cables linking Long Island to the rest of the New York power system.
"The cable problems demonstrate how vulnerable we are to power shortages due to mechanical failures and not necessarily a resource shortfall. Additional on-island generation is critical if we want to keep the lights on," said Kessel.
Both cables, which supply almost 1,000 megawatts of power to Long Island -- enough to light about a million homes -- run under the Long Island Sound between Westchester County, just north of New York City, and Nassau County on Long Island.
The 400 MW Y-50 cable, owned by LIPA and Consolidated Edison Inc. , New York City's main utility, was shut in mid-May and is likely to be down for several weeks.
"If the Y-50 cable is lost for the summer, the Island's electricity supply could be stressed to its limits, even with the addition of 737 MW of new resources expected to go on line in the weeks ahead," said Kessel.
Those new resources include 10 turbines being developed at six sites around Long Island by energy companies from around the country and a new cable being installed by a Canadian company that will bring in electricity from New England.
The Y-49 cable, shut over the past weekend, brings some 600 MW of power to Long Island. It is owned by the New York Power Authority, the state-owned power generating company.
NYPA has already started repairing line Y-49, already restoring its to about 444 MW, and hopes to have it back at full service within a couple of weeks.
"We're taking every action possible to get Y-50 back as soon as possible, and to repair the Y-49 problem so we can meet the peak summer demand supply requirements," said Kessel.
"Conservation has to be the number one item on every customer's mind," said LIPA spokesman Michael Lowndes, sounding a note heard often last year in California, which also failed to expand its power system fast enough to keep up with demand.
An extreme heat wave could cause peak electricity demand on Long Island to exceed 5,200 MW. LIPA has access to 5,917 MW of energy including its 10 new turbines, the new cross sound cable, and the Y-49 and Y-50 tie lines.
Without line Y-50, LIPA has access to just 5,517 MW.
To make up for the possible long-term loss of Y-50, LIPA said it will add 200 MW of generation, provided by 10 22 MW generators mounted on flatbed truck trailers parked at substations around the Island by July. The mobile generators would be switched on only during an extreme heat wave.
The 10 new turbines are being installed by Florida's FPL Group Inc., New York's KeySpan Corp, California's Calpine Corp. and Pennsylvania's PPL Corp. .
TransEnergie U.S., a unit of Canadian energy giant Hydro-Quebec, is installing the 330 MW cross-sound cable between Connecticut and Long Island. The transmission company expects the line to be in service by the end of June.
"While the new resources will help us meet demand, we urge customers, both residential and commercial, to conserve as much electricity as possible all summer long, especially during extreme heat waves," Kessel said.

VIDEO: DeAndre Jordan abuses Utah's Enes Kanter and finishes with authority
HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Point fingers all you want at Chris Paul, coach Doc Rivers, owner Donald Sterling or anyone in Los Angeles this season. It doesn't matter. Because it's not on them … not If the Clippers are serious about making that move from pretender to contender.
It's on two guys and two big guys in particular.
Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, the highlight stars in Hollywood, have to take that next step and put the Clippers in a position to cash in on the immense potential we all see on that roster. They were the missing piece last season in the playoffs, when the Grizzlies' Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol exposed the Clippers' soft underbelly in a first-round playoff ouster of the reigning Pacific Division champs.
The Clippers weren't tough enough then and Griffin and Jordan clearly didn't have the seasoning needed to win the series. But Rivers has infused the Clippers' locker room with a new energy, a new confidence even, that will serve as fuel for Griffin and Jordan.
And it's time for those two to show up, show out and take some of the pressure off of Paul, the team's smallest player (in stature). We get our first glimpse tonight, when the Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers open the season at Staples Center (10:30 p.m. ET, TNT). Griffin and Jordan couldn't ask for a better opening test than the Lakers' veteran frontcourt of Pau Gasol and ex-Clipper Chris Kaman.
If they want to justify the hype and make Rivers look like a genius for praising and challenging them simultaneously during the past few months, we'll see it tonight in their play.
When he spoke about Jordan as a potential All-Star, to USA Today Sports' Sam Amick, his comments had to strike a (positive) nerve with Jordan — a player with big talent who still lacks the polish needed to dominate both ends of the court.
"He's an All-Star, and whether he makes it or not I could care less about that part but I'm just saying that he's at that level," Rivers said. "DJ has the ability to affect an entire end of the floor. So how good was Deion Sanders? That's how good DJ is. That's the way I look at it."
Griffin is already an All-Star. There's no stroking of his ego needed. Rivers had to challenge his basketball IQ, his personal fabric and find out if he was willing to go to uncomfortable places within himself to improve and make himself more of a factor this season.
Combined, Griffin and Jordan have the ability to push the Clippers into the true-contender atmosphere. They're talented enough to be the difference-makers in ways that few players in the league can, due mostly to the fact that they are physically superior to most opposing low-post duos.
But are they mentally tough enough? Are they skilled enough? Are they determined enough to become the collective force of nature that elevates the Clippers?
We'll get a good sense tonight when the curtain comes up on their 2013-14 season!

Not guilty and you still must pay the storing and towing charge
March 3, 2015 the Will County judicial Committee met. Legislation was brought forward for a $300 Administration Fee charged to individuals when their car is towed. Presently there is no Administrative fee, but there is a towing fee and a storage fee that must be paid by the individual regardless of the verdict in court. Therefore the Judge can find you not guilty and you still must pay the storing and towing charge. With this new legislation, the administrative fee can be returned to you if the Judge orders it, but the towing and storage charges are the individuals expense even when found not guilty. Nothing is changed accept adding an administrative fee.
As a member of the Judicial committee I spoke firmly against what I consider unethical, immoral, and just plain not fair. With a not guilty finding the Judge should be able to refund the towing fee, the storage fee, and the administrative fee. Just because cities charge these fees to people found not guilty does not make it right. It should be the Judge's decision if the fees should be returned. Will County would then have to pay the towing and storage charges, and not collect the Administrative fee.
The Committee argued that the administrative fee may be too high putting a burden on people. I felt like they thought the towing and storage fees were just an acceptable part of the process. One member said it is just like getting a lawyer; the court doesn't reimburse that cost. I explained that you can represent yourself at no cost, and there would be no fees if your car was not towed unjustly in the first place.

Will County Board District 7
Balich Ordinance not allowing aerial photos to initiate code violations is now law after Executive Order by County Executive
Balich Ordinance not allowing aerial photos to initiate code violations is now law after Executive Order by County Executive
The process addressing use of aerial photos in code violations began in April 2013 when Balich first brought a Resolution to the Legislative Committee. Balich said he was having trouble getting it to the right Committee. The issue was moving from Land Use to Judicial with not much happening. Balich eventually decided to move it forward as a change to the ordinance which required a public hearing and a full vote of the County Board. After playing ring around the Committees for a few Months moving from Judicial to Land Use to Executive and finally to a joint meeting of Land Use and Judicial in December 2013, it passed and was to be set for public hearing. Finally May 6th 2014 there was a public hearing, and immediately after the hearing the Judicial Committee voted it down. This was a shock for Balich who thought it would pass with no problem. It was dead as far as Reed Bible, Tom Weigel, Ken Harris, and Jacky Traynere were concerned. Balich said it is not over, he was not giving up. He said this is a people issue and could not understand why the Democrats and Weigel did not get it.
At the May 13th Executive Committee Jim Moustis motioned to put it back on the Agenda, for a vote of the full board. Reed Bible and Herb Brooks voted no the rest of the Committee voted yes giving the ordinance new life with a vote of the full Board. Jim Moustis made the valid point that 4 people from a committee should not have the power to kill an issue. Mr. Moustis also pointed out that anything can be added to the County Board Agenda by the Executive Committee. Balich was confident there were enough votes to pass from the full Board.May 14th the County Executive passed an Executive Order, putting Balich's ordinance into law before the vote of the full Board. Balich is extremely pleased with Walsh's decision standing for the people of Will County.
Executive Order 14-30
Aerial Photography Prohibited
Lawrence M. Walsh, will County Executive, hereby prohibits the Land Use Department and its personnel from using aerial photography to initiate an internal Land Use complaint of an ordinance violation. Dated May 14, 2014 and signed by Will Vounty Executive Lawrence M. Walsh.
Will County Capital Improvements projects/ Decision
23:00 minutes discussion of building fresh to what the County needs begins. The question is cost, and value. Is it cheaper and better to build new, or demolish an old building and build new? Is it cheaper to retro-fit an old building or build new on vacant land? Should the County look at the options, or dismiss moving everything to a central campus built specifically to our needs?

Three of the candidates, state Sen. Bill Brady, state Treasurer Dan Rutherford and state Sen. Kirk Dillard attended the Will County Tea Party forum in Plainfield, but the front-runner — Bruce Rauner — was a no-show.
An empty chair was placed on stage for Rauner, who asked that a surrogate read an opening statement for him, a request that was denied.
The questions ranged from jobs to education.
Brady said he plans to abolish the State Board of Education if he's elected governor.
Rutherford was asked about his views on same sex marriage.
"I think we need to be very sensitive about this kind of a discussion. Is it perfect to be in a world that has a man and a woman bearing their natural-born child? Sure it is. But it isn't a perfect world we live in," Rutherford said.
Dillard was asked about Rauner's claim that union bosses control politicians.
"I've taken money from the Operating Engineers, that's a private union, and they're concerned, and they support me because they believe I'm the best candidate," Dillard said.
Earlier this week, Rauner said all of the attention he's receiving and questions about using clout to get his daughter into Walter Payton Prep stem from his high poll numbers.
"I'm an independent guy, I can't be bought, bribed or intimidated," Rauner said.
Rauner initially said he would only attend five public forums, but has now changed his mind and will also attend an extra one later this week.
After the forum, a straw poll was taken that included Rauner's name. The results will be an-nounced Wednesday morning.

Bed Time Story about Government
Tax Payer bedtime story
• October 26, 2011
• By: Steve Balich
Once upon a time in beautiful Homer Glen, there was a retired man that was hired part time by a Home Owners Association to maintain the subdivision. His job paid $10 Hr. and consisted of making sure there was no trash on the street. He worked 2 hrs. per day, and since there was not much trash to pick up in the street, he expanded the scope on his own to the front lawns of the people in the sub-division. Everyone loved this guy, and saw a real value in what he was doing. There are 100 homes paying his salary so the $100 per week only cost each resident $1 per week.
Now this old guy likes working and the idea of everyone liking him. He tells the residents he would like to expand his duties to making sure the side walks are shoveled in the winter. These tasks are welcomed to be added to the old guy's duties. His pay would now be increased 50 cents to $10.50 and he would be paid by the hour with a 2 hour guarantee each day. His base pay is now $105 per week, and after the first winter passed he logged 120 Hrs shoveling snow costing $1260. His pay with a small increase went from $5200 per year to $6720 or $1.30 per home per week. Some people were getting upset with the added costs, but still saw a value. The old guy going into his 3rd year of doing a great job asked the association for a raise of 50 cents which increased his pay to $11 per hr. Assuming he worked the same amount of time he now gets paid $7040 per year or $1.36 per home per week.
Taking the example of Government the old guy sees his chance to expand the scope of his duties by asking to increase his hours to include shoveling driveways for seniors that were unable to do it. The compassionate Residents agreed and after the first snow, the old guy found he did not have enough time to get all this work done so he asked the association to hire him a helper at $10 per hr. and give him a raise to 11.50 since he is now a supervisor. The home owners did not want to be mean spirited by not helping the seniors so it was agreed. The Old guy's base is now $5980 plus 120Hrs shoveling snow giving him $7360 per year and his helper $1,200 per year or 1.65 per week per home.
Like any government employee who is doing a good job, they expect a raise which shows the association is happy with their job performance, so each employee is given an additional 50 cent per hour. The helper is angry because he is doing the same work as his supervisor and wants a bigger raise. There is hostility because the pay schedule is not fair. The helper comes to work angry, and does not work as hard. The Supervisor wants to get rid of the helper, but can't come up with a substantial reason. The helper slips on the ice and sues the association for an injured back. The Insurance rate is increased and the Board of the association figures they will vote to terminate the position because it is getting to costly. Some residents are mad because they are now responsible to take care of their own property. Others are angry about the excessive cost they are expected to share. While others have no clue why they can't afford to live there anymore, but feel forced to move to a cheaper neighborhood.
Aerial Phototrophy Amendment will go to public hearing in January
Back in April 2013 Balich began trying to amend the building code in Will County to prevent the use of Aerial Photos to initiate building code violations. He felt it was a violation of privacy and violated 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments to the Constitution as well as the Unalienable Rights granted in the Declaration of Independence . Over the months the language was changed many times, and it was discussed at length in various committees. Tuesday December 10th at a joint meeting of Land Use and the judicial Committee's Balich pointed out that Illinois law allows for use of Aerial Photos according to the Will County States Attorney. Using Aerial Photos is legal, but just because it is legal does not mean they have to be used. Despite alleged use of Aerial Photos being used in code enforcement, Balich pointed out the land Use Director said Aerials are rarely used, making passage of the amendment into a check verifying Aerials will not be used to initiate code violations. Passing the amendment to chapter 43.14 of the Will County Code would put the Amendment as policy of the Board. It will go to Public Hearing in January then to a vote at the full County Board.
"County Personnel are prohibited from using aerial photography to initiate code violations for administrative adjudication enforcement proceedings."
The 4th Amendment protects citizens from searches conducted without a warrant. The 5th Amendment prohibits the government from denying any citizen "life, liberty, or property without due process. The 14th Amendment says "… nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of the law. Local government generally gets their power from the State, therefore this also applies to local code inspectors. The Declaration of Independence states we have the right of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness (property) from God.

Brady in the lead Battleground Polling
Poll Shows Large Amounts of Voters Undecided in Race for Illinois Governor
A poll conducted by the Battleground Polling Group found 45% of voters remain undecided in the race for the Republican nomination for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. This continues the trend from the first poll released in June by Battleground Polling Group, an independent polling group.
With 45% of voters undecided, current State Treasurer Dan Rutherford leads decided voters with 18% of likely voters, followed by current State Senator Bill Brady with 13%, with State Senator Kirk Dillard and businessman Bruce Raunner close behind, each with the support of 12% of likely voters.
"This early in the game, it is not unexpected for undecided to be leading the way in the race for the GOP nomination," said Battleground Polling Group president Dennis Cook.
Among respondents who identified as members of a Tea Party organization, Bill Brady opens up a lead among decided voters, earning 29% of the vote.
Undecided voters also are leading the way in the contest for the Republican nomination for State Treasurer, with 60% of voters still undecided. Of voters who have made a decision, former House Minority Leader Tom Cross is opening up a lead over Dupage County Auditor Bob Grogan, with Mr. Cross earning the support of 27% of voters, and Mr. Grogan earning the support of 13% of voters.
"Certainly, Tom Cross is in a solid position as we move into the winter campaign season," said Cook. "But, with 60% of voters still undecided, Bob Grogan still has room to pick up more support as the campaign moves into full swing."
Among Tea Party members, Tom Cross expands his lead over Bob Grogan to 31% to 9%.
You can view the poll here November Republican Primary Poll Results
To obtain its results, Battleground surveyed 535 randomly selected registered voters who participated in each of the last three Republican Primary Elections through automated telephone calls and an online survey method. The margin of error for each survey is +/- 3.97 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. The Poll was conducted from November 3 – November 11.
Battleground Polling Group, led by Dennis Cook and Christopher Ford, M.Ed., conducts public opinion polls throughout the state of Illinois as a public service and for research. For more information, visit www.battlegroundpolling.com.

The planning division of the Nassau County Department of Public Works has partnered with several organizations to conduct a federally funded study that will explore ways to promote development in three yet-to-be-determined downtowns surrounding Long Island Rail Road stations.
DPW Commissioner Shila Shah-Gavnoudias said the county has received $350,000 of a $3.5 million New York and Connecticut Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant to conduct the study. Funds were awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Partners taking part in the project will determine three of 21 possible locations for the study, which will look at ways to improve quality of life and the economy for local residents and business owners.
Representatives of the planning division, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Vision Long Island and Citizens Campaign for the Environment have been meeting with civic leaders from across the county to determine which areas would be most suitable to begin pilot planning programs.
Shah-Gavnoudias said the purpose of the Nassau County Infill Redevelopment Feasibility Study is twofold.
"One is to collect and synthesize all of the local planning efforts that are going on in Nassau County into one comprehensive report," she said. "The second is to study three station areas for pilot plans that will either be site plans or rezoning plans."
Sean Sallie, a county senior planner, explained that the objective is to form "working collaborations" among the major players needed for regional planning efforts, ranging from village trustees to state Department of Transportation officials.
Sallie added those working on the project try to refrain from calling it a study. "We're trying to get away from that because this is really more than just studying," he said, noting that "it's more about moving local projects forward."
The project will be completed in two phases, Sallie said. Phase one will be an assessment of existing conditions at the 21 LIRR stations, which include Baldwin, Bellmore, Lynbrook, Merrick, Rockville Centre, Valley Stream and West Hempstead, among others. In phase two, study partners will select the project's three stations.

Architect Frank Gehry is planning the expansion of the new headquarter offices of Facebook. The company won't tell how much the project will cost but says it's consistent with the local office-park norm. 83-year-old Gehry confessed that he is not a Facebook user but enjoys working with his 28 year old client and co-founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg. The buildings design is organised into work-group 'neighborhoods' with meeting rooms that could be painted with graffiti and lounges furnished with arcade-game consoles. These are only some of the possibilities Gehry and his team are working on with Zuckerberg and his collaborators. Sounds fun.
Take a look at the pictures in the above gallery.

Image via WikipediaJust between you, me, & the gate post, I never thought I'd keep it up for this long. When I started, I asked myself, do I even know enough family stories? Oh, sure, there were ones I'd remembered. Ones I'd been told. But I wondered if I could come up with a "story" from just a few facts that I had found out through researching. Was that even possible? Was it going to sound too dry? Were people even going to care or want to read them?
Well, I started writing them anyway, and I think I have my answers. Yes, stories can be made with just a few facts. And they're not dry. And people like to read them. People like you. [Which is good because I'm pretty sure my family doesn't read my blogs. In fact, I know they don't because they'll ask me a question, and my reply is always, "Well, if you read my blog, you'd know the answer, but I'll tell you anyway because I'm just so excited and thankful that you even care enough to ask..." *rolling eyes heavenward*]
So, THANK YOU for reading. While I can keep writing even if no one reads them, it's infinitely more fun with y'all reading them. I hope they inspire or motivate you to research and write about your own family's stories.
Because if you don't, who will?
So, let's get this party started 'cause Family Stories turns 2 today!!! Pick up a glass. And here's a toast [and an Irish blessing]:

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Junior Jimmy Hayes scored two goals, sophomore Brian Dumoulin recorded three assists and third-ranked Boston College capitalized on all three of its power-play opportunities to earn a 5-3 Hockey East victory over UMass-Lowell before 7,623 fans at Kelley Rink.
The teams were tied at 1-1 after one period and 2-2 after two periods. BC scored three times in the final frame, including one empty-net score, to earn the victory and sole possession of first place in the conference standings.
Junior Paul Carey snapped the 2-2 tie with a power-play goal at 10:57 of the third period and captain Joe Whitney notched the decisive score at 15:59, finishing Dumoulin's feed from just outside the goal crease.
After UMass-Lowell trimmed the BC lead to one goal (at 4-3) just 19 seconds later on Patrick Cey's third goal of the season, Hayes concluded the scoring into an empty net at 19:30 for the 5-3 final.
Host Boston College outshot UMass-Lowell, 46-25, including a 16-7 edge in the middle period.
UMass-Lowell freshman goaltender Marc Boulanger recorded 41 saves in 58:56. He falls to 0-7-1.
The River Hawks opened the scoring at 7:49 of the opening period on Shayne Thompson's third goal of the season and the Eagles tied the score on a Hayes power-play goal at 11:32. After Chris Ickert lifted UMass-Lowell to its second one-goal lead of the night at 10:32 of the middle stanza, junior Tommy Cross tied the score at 2-2 with a power-play goal at 18:49.
BC sophomore goaltender Parker Milner made 22 saves to earn his third win of the season and the 13th of his career.
Team Records: UMass-Lowell - 3-19-2, 3-15-0 Hockey East; Boston College - 17-6-0, 13-5-0
Game Notes: Senior Joe Whitney tallied the decisive scores just seconds after an initial scoring bid rung off the crossbar ... Dumoulin matched his career high previously established in a 7-1 win over Miami in the 2010 NCAA Frozen Four in Detroit, Mich. He has 14 points - two goals and 13 assists - in his last eight games ... Chris Kreider extended his scoring streak to eight games (4-6--10) with an assist on Hayes' power-play goal while sophomore center Pat Mullane has one assist in six of the last seven games ... Hayes' two-goal effort marked his second of the season and the fifth multiple-goal performance of his 101-game collegiate career.

The election is over, but at the time of this writing I have no idea what the final outcome might be. Regardless of who takes the White House the job will be formidable and the to-do list daunting: Staggering debt and unemployment; a non-existent federal budget and trillion-dollar annual deficits; an additional deficit of $1.60 trillion to fund Obamacare for the next 10 years; horrendous regulatory burdens on businesses small and large; a currency that has been abused, debased and devalued; the threat of sequestration that will severely hamper our ability to fund national defense; a growing militancy from Muslim extremist organizations; a nation polarized on major social issues; a national infrastructure system that has been neglected for decades; entitlement programs that are unsustainable; a tax system that is in dire need of major overhaul; the northeast still mucking out from the devastation wrought by Sandy and facing tens of billions of dollars in rebuilding costs; and millions of constituents looking for leadership that can bring order and justice in the face of it all.
Who, in their right mind, would mount a billion-dollar campaign and fight to take this on? We can only hope their reasons are full of good intentions, for the people as individuals and for the country as a whole. We've had our chance at vetting - and the winner will now assume a great power to fashion our future. Meanwhile, life will return to normal. Instead of listing to television commercials on political demagoguery we'll listen to the blitzkrieg warnings for pharmaceuticals. Thanksgiving will be here soon with Christmas, New Year's Eve and an inauguration following in quick succession.
But life for a patriot doesn't end with the push of a button in a booth once every four years. The promises of America aren't periodical and don't depend on the federal election cycle. In a government by the people, the president is a projection of our will. His or her appointed cabinet members, dignitaries and ministers may or not be. It is up to the people to be vigilant and hold their feet to the fire of servitude - least they wander to far toward tyranny.
Hopefully each election year is one that invigorates a new batch of Americans to take up the cause in a real way. For many, this will be the first year they write or phone their Congressman and express concern for an issue dear to them. This will be the first year they question how our government is spending money, or why we are considering a military engagement abroad. Some will tune in to televised political debates on Sunday morning for the first time while others, who have never done so before, begin to follow world events on real news websites.
Yes, the crowd noise rises to a crescendo during the election season but direction from sideline coaches must continue throughout the game. No matter if your guy won or lost, it is incumbent upon us all to continue to keep a sharp eye, to speak out when liberty is at risk and to do our small part to maintain a very big dream.

- The Subscriptions and In-App Purchases API lets you manage in-app purchases and subscriptions.
- The Publishing API lets you upload and publish apps, and perform other publishing-related tasks.
Subscriptions and In-App Purchases
You can use the Google Play Developer API to manage:
- In-App Products (in-app products and subscriptions catalog management)
- Products purchase status
- Subscriptions purchase management
You can use these resources to check the status of purchases, and to modify and cancel recurring purchases.
To learn more about how to sell subscriptions in an Android app, read Google Play In-app Billing on the Android Developers site.
Publishing API
The Google Play Developer Publishing API allows you to automate frequent tasks having to do with app production and distribution. This provides functions similar to those available to a developer through the Play Console, such as:
- Uploading new versions of an app
- Releasing apps, by assigning APKs to various Tracks (alpha, beta, staged rollout, or production)
- Creating and modifying Google Play Store listings, including localized text and graphics and multi-device screenshots
Those tasks are performed using the new edits functionality, which take a transactional approach to making changes; you bundle several changes into a single draft edit, then commit the changes all at once. (None of the changes take effect until the edit is committed.)

Must admit that I am not a big fan of what I call "corporate wrestling." I much prefer good quality independent wrestling. Promotions like Maryland Championship Wrestling, which has been around for years and years and promotes quality wrestling. The wrestlers, managers, and referees all look like actual wrestlers, managers, and referees. None of the jeans, sneakers, and t-shirt crew crowding onto the card. All the wrestlers have been trained properly and have good talent. The roster is thick with veterans like Ronnie Zukko, The Bruiser, Adam Flash, Josh Daniels, and Tom Brandi. Newer wrestlers such as Nui Tofiga and Napalm Bomb have the potential to be the next big things in both MCW and the Mid-Atlantic independent wrestling circuit. Fed Up, Black Wallstreet and Country Strong (Kevin Chesney and Hoss Hagood - who bears a strong resemblance to "Captain Redneck" Dick Murdoch) make improvements in each bout they are in. Commissioner Jimmy Cicero tries to maintain law and order within the ranks of MCW and is a great spokesperson for "Autism Speaks." During the year, MCW has raised funds for this important charity and has helped to raise awareness about autism. Overall, this is a promotion to watch, not just another run of the mill independent promotion. Promotions like MCW may be hard to find, but they are well worth the effort and are sure to entertain their fans.

'VERY knowledgable' staff at a popular Kendal attraction are celebrating after securing a top accreditation.
Kendal Museum has been accredited as a Quality Assured Visitor Attraction - an assessment run by Visit England and recognises customer service and visitor experience at attractions across the country.
A Visit England assessor praised the strong collections, recognising the effort that has gone into creating a well-balanced wildlife gallery and the considerable effort that has been put into modernising the Wainwright Gallery.
In a report, the assessor said of the museum: "The Wildlife Gallery succeeds in presenting specimens from five continents in an imaginative and lively fashion that can be readily grasped by children".
Learning facilities for children were also praised along with 'excellent' reading books being available.
The Wainwright Gallery was also commended for its cabinets and the assessor said that the staff 'engaged well and were very knowledgeable'.
The assessor summed up his judgement and reported: "There is a wealth of excellent material in the museum – with the Wildlife Gallery and the Wainwright exhibits showing what can be achieved.
"The possibilities for mutually beneficial exchanges of skills with college courses and museum qualifications seem exciting.
"There is huge potential scope for the Museum."

Braised Bacon with Smoked Paprika Pancakes Recipe
How to make the best meal of the week even better.
- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 40 minutes
- Total time:2 hours 40 minutes
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 1/4 pounds slab bacon, rind removed
- 1 medium onion finely sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1 small bunch thyme
- 2 1/2 cups homemade or store-bought low sodium chicken stock
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Sliced scallions, to garnish
- Chili sauce, to garnish
For the Bacon: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 325°.
Score the fat on the bacon in 1/2 inch cross hatch pattern. Heat vegetable oil in a dutch oven over medium high heat until shimmering. Add bacon, fat side down. Cook until fat begins to render and crisp, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until underside of bacon is brown, about 4 minutes. Remove fro dutch oven and reserve. Add onions to pan and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add thyme. Place slab bacon on top of onions and add stock. Bring to a simmer, cover, and place in the oven. Cook until the bacon yields when a knife is inserted in the center, about 2 hours. Remove from oven.
Let the bacon rest on a cutting board, and strain the cooking liquid. Reserve the liquid and discard onions and thyme.
For the Pancakes: Lower the oven to 200[°] and place a lined baking sheet in the oven. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and smoked papika. In a separate bowl whisk together milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter and beaten eggs. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a smooth lumpless batter forms.
In a large non-stick skillet melt the remaining butter. Add batter to pan by the scant 1/4 cup to form small pancakes. Cook until bubbles begin to form on surface, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until second side is browned, about 2 minutes longer. Place cooked pancakes on a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and repeat with remaining batter.
Once all the pancakes are cooked wipe out the non-stick skillet and place it back over medium high heat with remaining teaspoon vegetable oil. When the oil is shimmering add the bacon fat side down and cook until the fat has crisped, about 4 minutes. Slice the bacon and place on a platter with the pancakes. Spoon a tablespoon of the reserved cooking liquid over the bacon and garnish with scallions and chili sauce. Serve immediately.

The first retraction of facts from a relation transforms the internal PersistentHashSet -set var+atom, which guarantees uniqueness, into a LazySeq which allows duplicate facts to be added. Once the first retraction occurs, a LazySeq persists for the rest of the life of the relation. Only the value of the primary -set var+atom is affected, not the -index var+atom values.
This issue is not an external correctness issue but does affect performance of subsequent duplicate fact additions which grow the size relation.

I've filed this as a Minor issue as it does not affect core.logic correctness and degraded performance can be avoided by not re-asserting duplicate facts.
I will also issue a GitHub pull request which can be used or ignored at your convenience.
Thanks! Is this meant to be applied to master?
(cf. here and GitHub I'll keep this thread on JIRA.) Yes, this is targeted for master. I don't know if this warrants a release unto itself.
I forgot to mention that I needed to add "src/test/clojure" to the project.clj :source-paths vector to get lein1/2's test command to run the tests. Is that expected? Is there another way to run the tests that I'm missing? I'm happy to file a separate ticket/patch to address this if project.clj needs to be modified.
Thanks for the information. Will apply to master. I actually run tests with "mvn test", I've updated :source-paths so other people can run the tests with lein.
I tried to apply the patch but I'm getting a "Patch format detection failed".
The attached patch should work fine with git-apply (in either "cat foo.patch |git apply" or "git apply foo.patch" form). I made the GitHub pull request as I figured that would be the easiest path to pull the changes in.
Yes the patch is not properly formatted and we're not supposed to take pull requests. The patch is missing attribution info. I normally apply patches with "git am foo.patch". I used the following guide for figuring out how to generate patches that can be applied with "git am", http://ariejan.net/2009/10/26/how-to-create-and-apply-a-patch-with-git.
My apologies for the extra run-around here. I've attached an -002 version of the patch created with git-format-patch which should be amenable to git-am.
fixed, http://github.com/clojure/core.logic/commit/9bc6eb42be28bfd2b493657344f6eea8f5ed657c. pushing out a 0.8.0-alpha3 release as well.

Smart Phone Apps Are Changing Motorsports Marketing
New apps for racers combine usefulness and promotion to spread the news about a company's product lines
By Emmanuel Martinez
Whether it is an iPhone, Android, Blackberry or any other smartphone, the world is in the palm of your hands. Smartphones, which behave more like portable computers than phones, have the power to make calls, send text messages and access the Internet anywhere at anytime. But with the rapid evolution of technology, a phone that simply has Internet capabilities has become a thing of the past.
Nowadays, smartphones have the power to run mobile applications, Internet-based applications that would normally run on a desktop or laptop. Many applications, or apps as they are known for short, have been developed to make accessing and navigating the Internet on a mobile device easier and quicker. There are apps for restaurant and movie reviews, games, directions and list goes on.
And as far as the racing industry goes, apps are just beginning to pick up steam.
Although mobile applications in the racing industry are few and far between, following are some that would benefit motorsports business owners, race teams and even the average enthusiast involved in the industry.
Honeywell has developed an application—the Garrett Boost Adviser—that helps individuals find the best Garret Turbocharger that meets their goals. In order for the Garrett Boost Adviser to find a suitable turbocharger, users must input the following specifications: the targeted horsepower, valves per cylinder, the fuel type used and the engine rpm at which the intended horsepower is expected to be achieved.
"It allows the users to input things like their engine displacement horsepower goals, valves per cylinder and even takes into account the barometric pressure and temperature of where they are going to be operating the car or truck. It then selects the best turbocharger or turbochargers that match the intended applications," said Kyle Snyder of Garrett Engine Boosting Systems in Torrance, California.
After inserting the specifications for the desired horsepower it is only a matter of seconds before the app displays the best turbochargers that meet one's needs. Without the Garrett Boost Adviser, users can either call one of the Honeywell distributors or if they wish to weigh all their options, they can spend hours looking through the last four pages of Honeywell's catalog, which explains the math involved to find a suitable turbocharger.
"It compacts those four pages of equations into this one app," Snyder said. "It is a little more user friendly. A lot of people get intimidated by all that math—they start seeing formulas, variables and thing like that and they get turned off by it. It is not a way around our distributors because the app brings up at least three or four turbochargers. We recommend that if you are not comfortable making that decision then you can contact our distributor because they have decades upon decades of experience in matching and will give a more precise and customized view of what you need."
Selecting a turbocharger can be a daunting task because of all the numbers and the addition and subtractions signs involved. But the Garret Boost Adviser eliminates the math headaches. Snyder added that the applications take "some of the intimidation and black magic voodoo out of turbocharging and make it just math and science. There is nothing you need to be intimidated by."
The Garrett Boost Adviser can be downloaded to the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, and will soon be arriving to the Android and Blackberry platforms.
MSD Ignition, El Paso, Texas, has crammed pages upon pages of wiring diagrams into a single mobile application—the MSD Ignition App. The application offers 25 different sections of instructions and diagrams, which help make MSD products user friendly.
"It is basically all of our wiring. It is a tool for wiring diagrams and schematics for all of our ignitions," said Todd Ryden. "Once you download it you can search the table of contents. If you have our MSD programmable 7 ignition and you want to know what the dark blue wires are for, you can just go to that ignition and it shows you how to wire it and what it needs to connect to."
For MSD Ignition, the inspiration behind its mobile app was its customers. "It is another way to help out our customers," Ryden said. "Electronics and ignition can be tricky and a lot of people are intimidated. We are just trying to extend our customer support a little bit further to people. We are not open 24 hours a day or on weekends, so we are just trying to make it easier for customers to get their ignition hooked up properly and save them from having to make a phone call. If they are at the race track or working in the garage after hours and our customer service line isn't open they can look at the app and find their wiring diagram and get their stuff hooked up."
The MSD Ignition app can be downloaded onto any iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch device.
Ferrea, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has introduced its mobile website app. "We have set up a mobile site that comes up with a specific page," said Zeke Urrutia. "What you can do with that mobile site homepage is save it to your iPhone or Android, as well as Blackberry, and it will generate a specific 'F' sign logo on the homepage of your smartphone. The mobile homepage is something basic. It tells you a little history about our company, it gives you contact numbers to order a product and leads you into our Facebook and Twitter pages."
In a complicated technological world, Ferrea's mobile website works to make things easier for the customers, while holding their attention at the same time. "It simplifies things where we feel that users can get where they need to get to much quicker," Urruita added. "If customers are spending five to 10 minutes on a specific site then they are going to get lost."
For Ferrea, the mobile website is just the first step in making advancements as far as the technological journey goes. According to Urrutia, Ferrea expects to develop another application in the near future.
Comp Performance Group, Memphis, Tennessee, is also adding fuel to the mobile application fire as the company is in the process of developing two apps: TCI Automotive, which has several drivetrain related calculators and technical resources, and Comp Cams, a mobile version of Comp Performance Group's CamQuest Cam Selection software.
Because of the advances in technology, the team at Comp Performance Group saw it as a necessity to create mobile applications. "It's simply the world we live in today," said Chris Douglas. "If businesses don't adapt to the technology that their customers are utilizing they will soon find themselves struggling to keep the doors open. There is a host of research available about the dramatic increase in mobile browsing and app usage. Our position is that we are going to meet our customers in whatever media channel, device, etc. that they prefer to use whether it be digital or print. Today, the research shows that one of the fastest growing channels is smartphone apps, therefore we feel it's a place that we need to be."
Smartphones and smartphone applications have become commonplace for many people, which is another reason why companies like COMP Performance Group have developed mobile apps. "Research suggests that all consumers (including racers) are making app usage a part of their daily lives so it's going to be important that each company look at their own business and figure out how an app could help them solve a problem," Douglas added.
COMP Performance Group's mobile applications will be launching soon onto the Apple and Android platforms.
Tracking Directions
Trying to locate that race track or finding directions to it can at times cause some unwanted stress. But the "National Speedway Directory" has come up with a solution to such a problem—it's called Track Guide.
"Track Guide allows users to locate any race track in the United States and Canada," said Tim Frost of National Speedway Directory in Wilmette, Illinois. "The application is currently available on the Apple platform, with Android and Blackberry to come. The smartphone application allows the user to search by type of track, which would be oval track, drag strip or road course. It has search functionalities based upon state, type of racing surfaces—dirt or paved—or by track name."
The "National Speedway Directory" is an annual publication that lists information about over 1300 race tracks in the United States and Canada and it was only a matter of time before its print underwent a technological transformation. "It was a natural extension," Frost said. "It was also a request from some of the users, especially the racers who wanted to be able to use their smartphones along with the GPS technology to know where the next track was. They wanted to have the Directory in the palms of their hands. The information is updated constantly. So as a user boots up or accesses the app, new information will appear."
It is only matter of time before Android and Blackberry users can benefit from Track Guide, too.
Lugging around a fan guide at the race track can get tedious—one might get tired of holding it or it may fail to provide the latest information about the race. However, GRand Solutions in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Texas Motor Speedway have partnered up to create a solution.
"What we have created for Texas Motor Speedway is something that is going to replace the fan guide and the app will primarily focus more on the user experience," said Gene Cottingham of GRand Solutions. "It gives fans the ability to carry the latest content. If you have ever gone to a race or any other event you are primarily relying on printed material and if you wanted the latest information you would have to go to the Internet and download it. This app gives you all the content in the palm of your hand and the promoter is able to keep it up to date at all times."
The Texas Motor Speedway application offers more than just the convenience of having a fan guide in your phone. "The things we are developing for the Texas Motor Speedway application will include links to ticket upgrades, which you can do onsite. Sometimes you get to your seat and say, 'Man, I wish I would have bought that VIP club suite.' So you could go ahead and use the app to get an upgrade and you can also buy merchandise," Cottingham added.
GRand Solutions has developed the app in a way where it benefits both small and large race tracks. "It is something that a small circle track in Iowa could buy, not spend a lot of money on and do simple things on it or someone as big as Texas Motor Speedway could really max out," Cottingham explained.
The mobile app can be downloaded from the Android Market Place by searching Texas Motor Speedway. Currently, Android users are the only ones who can benefit from this app but it will soon be available on the Apple platform.
PRI On the Go
Even here at Performance Racing Industry, a mobile app has been created to help readers. "We are using something that is replicating our current magazine. We take the pages that we print and convert them into a magazine app," said Rob Hiner of Performance Racing Industry, Laguna Beach, California.
PRI's mobile application adds a different dimension, offering the probability of a print magazine combined with a computer feel. "When tablet computers came out that changed things for the publishing industry so there has been a big movement the publishing industry has embraced," Hiner said. "Before you would have to sit in front of a computer or have a laptop, but now you can just have it in your hands and you can read it at the beach or read it on the couch.
"With the mobile app, you can view it in a vertical format," he continued. "You can switch the format so you can see the spreads. You can zoom in on the text so you can either read the text in page layout format or there is also the option to read in just text format. You can change the text size for readability."
Individuals who download PRI's mobile app have the luxury to create a digital library, as the application allows users to archive every issue that has been previously downloaded. However, the mobile app also benefits advertisers.
"As an advertiser you cannot only have your web address on the mobile application but you can also instantly link to your site," Hiner said. "The other thing is that you can also embed videos, which for a manufacturer, imagine you are a machinery shop and you have a new machine that does a new process. You can show step-by-step pictures and try to describe the process, but how cool is it if you are reading through the magazine and you can go directly to the video?"
PRI's mobile application is currently available on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and it will also be released on the Android platform in the near future.
Get Your Own App
For companies that are struggling to decide on developing a mobile application, the best advice comes from Sam Gaddis of Mutual Mobile, Austin, Texas, a company that works with other companies to help create mobile applications. "If you are talking about creating applications, the approach is going to be significantly different based on the company that is trying to create the application" said Gaddis. "If you are a small shop or a practice track, they don't have a budget to do a huge product and they shouldn't be directed to attempt that. If they try to do a large product that has tons of features and they don't have the budget for it, then whatever they end up coming out with will be lackluster and won't work. Instead what they should do is leverage some type of existing platform that lets them publish information about the business, track times, those kinds of things."
For those companies that are about to embark on a mobile application journey, the process can at times be a long one, depending on the app. "It can take anywhere from two weeks to a year," Gaddis explained. "It depends on the goals of the app. A simple marketing application can be executed quickly but the lifecycle of that product expires quickly, too. When you are talking about more robust applications that integrate some operational aspects of a company that can be a significantly large undertaking."
Although these mobile applications present the latest technology in the motorsports industry, one can expect significant improvement over the next couple of years. "I think what you are going to see as the tablets improve and as the smartphones improve, the performance and the capabilities of mobile applications are going to get better in terms of what they can do and how fast they can process," said Hiner, of Performance Racing Industry
"Our industry is very lackluster on the electronic side but in the next five to seven years that will change drastically," added Urrutia of Ferrea. "It just takes time in our industry."
The racing industry may lag behind other industries when it comes to the latest advances in consumer electronics, but it eventually finds ways to take advantage of new communication tools to help racers go racing, and spread the news about the latest advances in racing components. In the next several years, apps for the new generation of smart phones are going to become commonplace in racing, as some racing companies are already pioneering in this area.

We gonna make it Rock-N-Roll stars
Hey all you gotta do is you gotta learn one word
And the word is... Cocaine
Can you do that. I'll tell you when...
[Verse 1]
Dear coke, what's the deal, how you've been
It been little second since we was getting it in
Know I kinda abandoned you but you know what
This music shit was promising, look I'm 'bout to blow up
But I remember hugging this grip in my old Chucks, trying to get more bucks
Dodging the gold truck we had it sewn up, You ain't get no cut
Still you pump for me
You was just happy that we both lived comfortably
What up with Dope and them niggas they still getting gaup
They had the whole block itching like the chicken pox
Ayo Coke, 'member you used to get in the pot
Come out acting hard How many pleas did niggas cop?
Like how many ways to get money y'all niggas got?
Can I be down? I'll post up faithfully six o'clock?
But naw It's been me and my dude since day one
We ain't looking for the partners, step up your game son
Sometimes I wonder if you miss me, man I miss you
Even though that life is risky you're
[Verse 2]
My dude when push come to shove
The reason all them Police clowns look in the glove
When they stop the V, heard you're fucking with Keisha
You let her start fucking with you, I know whats a brother to do
She was always sniffing around since back in the day
She of age now she know the mind games you played
I know you got her feening running back for more
Knowing your dirty ass you probably ran up in that raw
So she open. Me, I'm still dating, this music
Take all my time and these girls ain't got patience
But fuck these bitches. What up with this snitches?
There's niggas telling? Must be a new day
Use to lose your toupee for yelling. Glad that I ain't a felon
They never caught you with me
If they only knew that you had grew to quarter a week
I'd been on the phone up north ordering briefs
Sweat pants and something white to toss on the feet
But they didn't, could of been different
I thought about that while this kite was being written, listen
[Verse 3]
Guess what I'm trying to say is I'm done
We had fun, not to sound like jerk but I won
I'm doing things the right way cause you showed me wrong
The people bump our stories when I throw it on a song
Im'a ride this thing out till the motor's gone
And when the road get bumpy I'm still holding on
Till I'm out the project grass ain't gotta mow the lawn
Sky is the limit but you know Joe trying go beyond
But God forbid that don't work I never went soft
I'm back in the hood picking right up where we left off
This is a heads up. Don't count me out dog
If things don't go right I'm going left like a south paw
Back to punching dudes in the face for trying to mouth off
Serving all the fiends that be trying to get they couch off
Ayo Coke, don't forget about the kid
Might need you one day if I happen to get up out the biz
Never forgot where I came from
Where I started to scoop my little bit of change from
That's his name son
Off the album Free Agent

Reds On Roll
The slugging Reds continued their offensive outpour for a perfect 7-0 record on the week.
Coming into the Aaron's Tournament in Billings on Saturday and Sunday, the Reds were averaging nearly 10 runs per game, racking up 51 extra-base hits in only 15 games. Those trends continued in Billings, even if not immediately.
The Reds began the tournament on Saturday night with a 4-2 win over the Billings Blue Jays.
The Blue Jays struck first, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first, capitalizing on the Reds' sloppy play, according to Head Coach Jack Sprague. But the Reds' bats exploded for four runs in the top of the second, catapulted by Wacy Ortman's lead off blast to left field.
They were held in check for the rest of the game but starter Jon "Cutter" Kolstad shut down the Jays for the rest of his five innings for his second win of the season and Johnathon Koessl came in to shut the door in the seventh for the save, his first.
Kolstad finished his six innings of work with four strikeouts, three walks, two runs, one earned and allowing four hits.
The Reds' bats blew open the next game early, however, as they defeated the Great Falls Electrics 9-0. Glasgow scored three times in the bottom of the first, including back-to-back run-scoring doubles from Ortman and Andy Gardner. The offense scored six more throughout the game but one run was all the offense starter Jason Thibault would need as he tossed a complete-game shut out, striking out seven, only walking one and allowing three hits, all singles. The win raised Thibault's record to 2-1.
In the night cap on Sunday, the Reds used an eight-run sixth inning to cruise to the 13-6 victory over the Billings Cardinals. The Reds tallied five walks, three hits and a hit batsman during the big inning.
Starter Grant Legare kept the Cards quiet, only allowing two unearned runs through five innings. However, four-straight errors in the bottom of the sixth allowed the Cardinals to score four more unearned runs. Legare ended the complete game only allowing three hits, no earned, one strikeout and the win, increasing his record to 2-0.
On Tuesday, the Reds were finally able to play on their home field – after having two games postponed last Tuesday due to rain – sweeping Miles City in a pair of games. In both games, Walt Dalbey was outstanding. He threw two complete games and earned two wins for the Reds. He only threw 61 pitches in the first game, allowing him to come back to start in the second game, where he was even more efficient, throwing only 41 pitches – 32 strikes – for the five-inning win. The Reds won 11-0 in the first game and 15-1 in the second game.
In the two games, Dalbey combined for nine strike outs, allowing only one earned run.
With those two wins, the three wins in Billings, and with two wins over Sidney on June 12, the Reds are on a streak of 12 straight victories, their best streak of the season. But Sprague is focused on continuing to improve, instead of the wins and losses.
"It doesn't matter if we win every single game if we're not getting better," he said. "If we're not going to get better, than sure, we get wins, we get accolades but really, what does it do for you as a player?"
Sprague noted that the way they've been able to out-slug teams may be covering up for some mistakes in base running and on defense.
"The mistakes we're making right now, if we're playing a top-notch team, we're going to have trouble. We've been fortunate, we've been able to out-hit teams. They simply can't keep up with us and that's not normal," he said.
The Reds haven't only been hitting, though. They have been shutting the opposing teams' offense down with outstanding pitching, as well.
Going into the Billings tournament, the Reds had accumulated a 2.67 staff ERA with 73 strikeouts in 89 innings pitched.
"We're happy with where we're at," said Sprague. "This [weekend] is kind of a benchmark for us. This weekend is where we really turned the corner last year," said Sprague.
The Reds are heading to Lewistown this weekend for several games. When the Reds went to Lewistown for a tournament last year, which Sprague was referring to, Glasgow went 1-3, but all three games were one-run losses that could have gone either way.
"It was like, 'hello, these [small mistakes] really matter.' You lose by one run and you make two base running mistakes, you probably win by three [without those]," said Sprague. "[After the weekend], the first third of our season is done. We should have a pretty good idea what we're going to be going forward."
On Monday, the Reds B-team traveled to Williston for four games in one day. They split a pair with both the Willistons 15's and the Williston legion team.
Jake Page and Kevin Schindler both earned wins and Kasey Siefert earned a save. Chase Fossum and Schindler were hung with a loss in the two games the Reds dropped.
