AUSTIN, Texas —
The architect of a new law overhauling high school standardized testing and curriculum requirements is asking the State Board of Education to leave implementation up to local school boards whenever possible.
Republican state Rep. Jimmie Don Aycock chairs the House Public Education Committee. He told the board Friday that the new curriculum stresses flexibility, but worried its members will include too many required courses when designing the new system.
Aycock added that teachers of different subjects would "bombard" members with arguments for why their courses were vital for the new curriculum. He said local school boards should decide what to include.
Designed to give more course flexibility for youngsters who want vocational training, the law also cuts from 15 to five the number of state-mandated standardized tests in high school.

---- — Heather Gomes has played a key role in the Beverly gymnastics team's successful year and although the Panthers' season ended earlier this month, they will celebrate another undefeated regular season campaign at their banquet tonight at the Franco American Club.
The Panthers, who went 9-0 for the third consecutive regular season, dominated the Northeastern Conference and made their second straight appearance at states this winter.
Gomes capped off her sophomore season with a New England Championship bid in which she took home second place in the all-around with a 37.325. This particular meet featured the top two teams from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut as well as the top six individuals from each state in each event and the all-around.
"This is a huge accomplishment as the best of the best were represented at this meet from all over New England," said head coach Lauryn Ginsburg. "Heather has been a huge contributor this season for the Beverly team, leading the way with huge scores at every meet."
Gomes had solid routines on all four events. She placed 6th on vault 9.4, 3rd on beam 9.45, and 6th on floor 9.2.
Senior captains Loralee Smith and Adrianna Beatrice also had standout performances this year as they were both selected to the Senior National Team, which competes in Fort Meyers Beach, Florida in May. Beatrice and Smith were chosen to represent Massachusetts at the national competition.

FEU Tamaraws, USC open PCCL bids
By Lynde Salgados
MANILA's Far Eastern University and Cebu's University of San Carlos are favored to hurdle their opening game assignments in the Philippine Collegiate Champions League which fires off here Friday at the Xavier University gym.
The FEU Tamaraws battle Ateneo de Zamboanga while the USC-Cebu takes on homegrown pride Capitol University in a double-header which starts shortly after the 5 p.m. ceremonial tip-off to be attended by Misamis Oriental Governor Oscar S. Moreno, Cagayan de Oro 2nd district Congressman Rufus Rodriguez and former mayor Rey Baula of Sumilao, Bukidnon.
Erstwhile Cagayan de Oro College standout JR Cawaling, who already made an impact in the UAAP Games, gets the chance to play before hometown fans as he spearheads the FEU's quest for the regional final slot slot in the PCCL's Zone 4 qualifier.
"It's exciting to watch him play here again. We're proud to have local talents like him excel in the UAAP," said Gerardo "Boboy" Sabal, athletics director of Xavier University, referring to the versatile Cawaling who has physical semblance with Air 21's ace forward Arwin Santos.
On Saturday (Nov. 15), Cawaling and the fancied Tamaraws will face the challenge of host Xavier University Senior Crusaders top-billed by the likes of GB Tagarda, Bee Datinguinoo, JP Erram, Julian Bagares and Paul Siarot. It will be followed by an equally interesting match between the USC and Davao's University of Mindanao.
"Of course, I'll be rooting for my former team in college. With the FEU going here to play is like a trip down memory lane," mused Anton Pabillore, who used to play back-up guard of Johnny Abarrientos with the FEU Tamaraws.
Sanctioned by the BAP-Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, the PCCL aims to discover basketball talents left untapped in the corner due to lack of opportunity and exposure.
Former PBA chairman and Pilipinas Shell Executive Ray Gamboa heads the list of organizers with former National Coach Joe Lipa as the tournament director.
Each team gets to qualify in the PCCL through the local qualifiers such as the UAAP, NCAA, Cesafi, Cosaa and the like.
Winners of the local qualifiers play in the Regional Finals and the Regional winners advance to the Zonal Finals.
The top 2 teams in the 4 Zonal Championships will then join the 8 seeded teams to compose the "Sweet 16".
Zamboanga Champions Ateneo de Zamboanga University, Davao Champions University of Mindanao, UAAP 3rd placer FEU, CESAFI (Cebu) 3rd placer University of San Carlos, COSAA champion Xavier University and Wild Card entry Capitol University will be slugging it out for the Zone 4 Championships.
FEU will win this zone... for sure
Im not impressed with USC they win against CU but with no big lead... theyre small... Emel Rowe didnt know how to penetrate and committed lots of turnovers...
UM will play tomorrow and base on their line up i think some of them are overage... they are also a big team
XU is a new and good team they even reach quarterfinals in Unity games in dumaguete but fail short against West Negros...
will play well tomorrow against FEU and FEU will win that game... hehehe
they have a better chance to clinch sweet 16 if USC and UM will not play well
ADZU will be the bottom team on this zone...

A Tulsa woman was able to slip out of her handcuffs and take off running from authorities in Mayes County this afternoon.
According to Mayes Co. Sheriff Mike Reed, 28-year-old Lorian Lemley had just been sentenced to 30 days in jail for failing to complete her community service on a misdemeanor charge around 2 p.m. Monday when she slipped out of her handcuffs and ran away.
Lemley was being walked back from the courthouse to the jail by deputies, who couldn't leave the other prisoners to go after her, Reed said.
Deputies searched the area for about an hour with no luck. They have a presence in the area in case she shows up.
Reed said Lemley does not pose a risk and is not believed to be dangerous.
She is described as a thin white female with blonde hair. Reed said she lives somewhere in the Tulsa area.

Lamp Repair reviews in Trabuco Canyon
This place is amazing. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The gentleman who helped us showed us what was wrong with our fixture and was able to fix it quickly. He also told us who designed the light and gave us some history on the designer's work. Very enjoyable experience. Beautiful store. No pressure. Wonderful experience.
I called to make an appointment to have a lamp problem fixed. He proceeded to tell me what possible problems I might have and take any lamp problems to him, based upon his initial help and honesty.
Great products, great service. We had a defect in one arm of the fixture and he immediately swapped it out with a piece from the showroom so we didn't have to wait for a return. He gave me all the bulbs for free for the trouble of coming back to the store.
. When i couldn't find a pendent light fixture I liked for my hallway their store at the same time. He did not give me any receipt, though, so I wrote all the info down myself. When he came back to do the job...which I must say he did carefully and competently....he just verbally told me the charge - as he was rushing off to someplace else. I was shocked that the price was much more that we had agreed on but I paid him because he was in a hurry and I could not find my receipt to prove this. Later I did found it and called him. He gave some vague answer about a "trip charge" and other nebulous fees There had been NO trip charge for his previous visit to do a fixture installation so why now, I asked? I also said $125 seemed a lot for driving from Bellevue to West Seattle. I maintained that he over charged me based on what I'd written down. He had nothing written to counter but he still would not refund the difference. Later I emailed him breaking down - exactly in laymen's terms - what his original estimate was and how these extra fees did not make sense. I was absolutely clear with him why I believed he was in error.... no response. Finally I called one more time to say that his charge was incorrect and that I expected to be refunded the difference. He continued to state no!. He had cashed my check and that was that! I even told him I was a member of Angie's list and that I would write a review of his practices. He doesn't care! I believe he doesn't use receipts or invoices for this very reason. .. So he can charge whatever he "feels like" on a particular day! I doubt he even pays taxes on this income. He is not trustworthy. I have learned my lesson. Even seemingly

UPDATE: Puppies have arrived! Mandilyn now has 3 little angels just in time for the holidays!
Illinois Birddog Rescue is seeking transport for one sweet little female English Pointer. Madilyn weighs about 40lbs, and she has a very special request this holiday season! You see, Mandilyn is pregnant - and she wants nothing more for the holidays than to deliver her sweet babies in the warmth of a nice, comfy foster home. (Lucky for her, Illinois Birddog Rescue has a great foster home waiting for her... all she needs is a "ride"!!!)
Can you help us with the following transport? (Mandilyn will be VERY grateful!)
Dog: Mandilyn, English Pointer, approximately 40lbs
Transport from: Norris City, IL (area) / Carmi Municipal Airport, IL (KCUL)
Transport to: Heath, OH (area) / Newark-Heath Airport, OH (KVTA)
Dates: Saturday, Dec 5th or 6th
Leg 1: Carmi, IL (KCUL) - Cincinnati, OH (area)
Leg 2: Cincinnati, OH (area) - Heath, OH (KVTA)
** I am NOT a pilot, so if our volunteering pilots prefer a different meeting place (other than Cincinnati) we can certainly make that change based on your preferences! Additionally, the entire trip (Carmi, IL - Heath, OH) is roughly 288 nm... if there is a pilot that would like to take the entire route, we will work with whatever you have to offer!!! **
Thanks so much everyone!
- Michelle

There is no greater scam than that being perpetuated by fiat money.
It is plausible that the gold market might be manipulated because of its critical importance to the current economic crisis. Gold is to Central Bankers and governments as The Cross was to Dracula. It threatens their existence.
Before governments got into the state of bankruptcy, gold hindered them from spending money they did not have. To truly increase spending and power, it was necessary for governments to remove the constraints gold imposed. Once that was accomplished the welfare/warfare state was off to the races.
Now, after almost forty years or nothing but fiat money, many governments are so bloated that they are no longer sustainable. Their key to survival (at least for some period) depends upon maintenance of the myth that fiat money is real. Gold is a huge threat to this scam.
Gold has been an alternate currency for thousands of years. It is the only currency that is not someone's liability. It is not dependent upon the performance of some government. It stands on its own and always has.
Governments do not go bankrupt in the manner that businesses or individuals do. They do so by dishonoring their debts and obligations. The default can come as an outright refusal to honor claims or it can come via inflation. Most governments prefer the latter.
The soundest government in the world, until recently, was the United States. In spite of its enormous wealth and economic growth, its government has engaged in continuous default since the formation of the Federal Reserve. Since formation (1913), the United States government has "reneged" on 96% of its obligations. That is the amount that the dollar has depreciated. Those who hold dollars or dollar-denominated assets are having their their purchasing power stolen year after year. In the simplest of terms, this governmental behavior is outright fraud.
Gold has powerful enemies whose survival depends upon the metal being discredited. Some of these enemies are supposed to regulate markets to prevent fraud. Others are the biggest names in finance. Why would they not do everything they could to discredit gold? It is literally a threat to their existence. Governments must mask gold's real value by keeping its price suppressed. Otherwise the myth of fiat money is exposed. It is difficult to determine what the price of an asset should be in a market that is manipulated. It is not difficult to determine that manipulation eventually becomes impossible.
My impression is that we are near the end game. Government options to manipulate gold are running out faster than government's options to remain solvent. It will be interesting to see what moves are forthcoming. Expect anything! Government has now reached the status of a cornered, wounded animal that will do anything to survive.
There is no greater scam being perpetuated today than fiat money. Bernie Madoff's scam was not even a rounding error compared to what is coming with the collapse of fiat currencies.
Adrian Douglas has an interesting piece on gold and its current state of manipulation. It is his opinion that governments and their henchmen have created a "fractional-reserve" gold market. For those who own gold or those who are thinking of adding it to their portfolio, Douglas provides some interesting information and cautions.

Who said the Sabres are going status quo tonight? Not anymore.
According to TSN The Sabres have now officially announced they've claimed forward Matt D'Agostini off waivers from the Pittsburgh Penguins. There's no word if D'Agostini would play tonight, but coach Ted Nolan was unusually late to his meeting with the media after today's pregame skate so there was certainly chatter something might be afoot.
The 6-foot, 198-pound D'Agostini will wear No. 27. He has one assist in eight games with the Penguins this season and is predominantly a right winger. He played parts of four seasons with tonight's opponent, the Montreal Canadiens, and had his best year for St. Louis in 2010-11 with a career-high 21 goals and 46 points. He was a sixth-round pick of the Habs in 2005.
D'Agostini signed a one-year, $550,000 contract with the Penguins in July but an unspecified injury and spotty play made it tough for him to stay in the lineup, as this Pittsburgh Post-Gazette story from earlier this month explains.
In addition, D'Agostini apparently has a history with Nolan as he was an instructor at Nolan's hockey school in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., in 2008. This story from the Sudbury Star explains.
The Sabres have to make a roster move to accommodate him, and they are putting Corey Tropp on waivers with hopes of getting him back to Rochester. Tropp had one assist in nine games and was minus-8 this year. He was still playing with a full face shield after suffering a broken jaw in the leadup to the epic preseason brawl in Toronto.
It's certainly conceivable D'Agostini is here tonight to be in the lineup but we noticed that John Scott skated fully this morning and came off the ice with the game group. So he's clearly ready to go as well to play on the fourth line with Brian Flynn and Marcus Foligno if that's the team's need.

Across the line, the Wolverines Donavon Brand had 135 all-purpose yards, with Jacob Schoeb at 60 yards. Four different Woodstock players attempted passes, going 3 of 21 with two interceptions. Quarterback Justin Wagner was 2-10-1 and as sacked twice. Alex Motsinger had even less success, going 1-9-1 and also was sacked twice.

Last summer, in the August heat, I was on a bus with two other volunteers on our way to visit our friend in Novaazovsk. People were packed into this bus like sardines in a can, many standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the aisle way. The three of us occupied most of the rear bench seat. The temperature outside was somewhere near 40 degrees, putting the temperature on the bus somewhere near an unbearable 43 degrees. The trip would take about five hours. The minimal free-flowing air on the bus cam...
Journalism Club
I started a journalism club at my school. As a journalist, I thought I knew what I was getting into. But I had to teach the damn thing mostly in another language. In Russian, as a matter of fact. Something I'd overlooked. And it wasn't easy. Eight students showed up to the first meeting. When discussing investigative journalism I told them anything that doesn't piss someone off isn't worth writing. Then I tried saying – in Russian – "You've got to light a fire under their ass." Unfortunatel...
What The Cluck?
Something happened at the local bazaar the other day. While doing my daily produce shopping I found myself in perhaps the most helpless and intriguing situation I've been in thus far here in Ukraine. It began with a bump and ended with a thud. Someone had elbowed me in my backside. A mistake, more than likely. People squeeze into the narrow paths of the markets on their way to and from the many kiosks like wriggly little fish would if you were to put them all in the same bowl. The jab to my...
In Winter, Still a Warm Place
Winter has arrived, that bitingly cold and miserably wet season dreaded by many PCVs in Ukraine. For me, it's my first. Having arrived in March of 2010, I'd only heard the horrors of the worst Ukrainian winter in decades, about stranded buses, and broken space heaters, streets caked with ice and the feeling of being held prisoner in your own apartment. In June, while listening to these stories told by group 36 and 37 volunteers, I felt as though winter was a world away. Now, it's here. Tr...
Veteran honored on Victory Day
Each year on May 9 countries of the former Soviet Union celebrate Dyen Pobyediy (День Победы!), or Victory Day, marking its defeat of Nazi Germany and the end of the Great Patriotic War (known in the U.S., of course, as the Second World War). And each year cities across Ukraine and other former countries of the Soviet Union celebrate with parades and other festivities. In Artemovsk, my small eastern Ukrainian home, a parade kicked off the occasion. Beginning at the city center and winding it...
Babushkas line the pathways of the local markets in eastern Ukraine, selling flowers and other colorful goods. On a holiday, most of them will go through scores of roses, tulips and carnations.
Men's Day
Male students at a village school in eastern Ukraine participate in an annual Men's Day competition February 23, 2011. The strongest and wittiest wins a bronze trophy and the affection of many female students.
Soviet-era factory rubble
Before the fall of the Soviet Union, the city of Konstantinovka bustled with more than 20 factories, which provided thousands of jobs. Today, less than a handful of factories remain in operation. Two PCVs stand atop the rubble.
Kiev Pechersk Lavra
The Kiev Pechersk Lavra, one of the Seven Wonders of Ukraine, with its golden tops and intricate ornamentations, is best when visited on a sunny summer's day. Its sprawling grounds, home to a number of underground caves, overlook Kiev's Dnieper River.

I didn't change a thing and loved it!!
This is a BASIC sauce. Add whatever spices will complement whatever you're going to use it on. Important: you want to cook the butter/four mix at a temp that will cook the flour without burning the butter. Usually when I get lumps, it's because I didn't cook the flour long enough. I like to make this with whole wheat flour, if you don't mind a brown "white" sauce with speckles. :)
Sarah Jo
I skipped the thyme in this recipe. I browned some chopped onion and fresh minced garlic in the butter before adding the flour. After the sauce was made, I added some ground mustard and a touch of hot sauce. I used the white sauce as a base for homemade macaroni and cheese. It worked out great--perfect thickness and held up well during the whole cooking process.

Super simple. I accidentally grabbed the "buttery" crescent rolls and it just make it more delicious! I used some floss to remove some of brine and cut the round of brie is half horizontally. I put the bottom half on the crescent roll, put a huge glob of fig spread on the cheese, then capped it off with the other half of the cheese and more crescent roll. Be sure to press the creases together real well. One tip I learned was to bake it in a shallow round dish that you can serve the brie in. This way, if it starts to leak while baking, it's no big deal. Enjoy!
This has been a favorite for years. One big change is to add a couple of large tablespoons of pesto on top of the brie and then seal. It really makes a difference
I have been making this brie for the past year and each time everyone loves it! I have also put an apricot preserve on top of the brie and then covered with the crescents. You can also try cranberry chutney, walnuts cooked with fresh cranberries and some brown sugar, use your imagination! This can be a show stopper!

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — More elbow room for vendors and visitors, less musical drift into residential neighborhoods and new, positive exposure for retail businesses on East Avenue.
These are the reported plusses of the Labatt Canal Concert Series' new venue, the city parking lot on Chestnut Street behind the YMCA and Lockport Public Library.
Since the first concert in the 2013 series this past Friday, feedback from business operators, concert goers and residents seems to compliment the new venue. After five summers, the series left the City Centre courtyard, between Main, Walnut, Locust and Pine streets, amid complaints from office and shop owners that the weekly shows were disrupting their operations.
Lisa Michaelsen, of Les Enfants children's clothier, East Avenue at Charles Street, suggested concert goers are more than welcome at that corner. As streams of visitors passed by Les Enfants, Donna Eick's Divine Catering, Caruso's Hair-Phenailia and Pallister House florist on their way to the show by Theory of a Deadman, some took the time to stop into the shops and check them out.
"We're excited about the concerts and the new venue. I think it's positive for our corner," Michaelsen said. "Anything the city can do to bring in people from the outside, and give people in the city something to do, is great."
Concert crowd size was loosely estimated at 10,000 to 12,000 people. Neither Michaelsen nor Beverly Federspiel, director of Lockport Public Library, noted any building safety or security issues after the crush of concert goers.
"Nothing exciting happened, which is good," Federspiel said. "There was no damage to the (library) building, which was our biggest concern. All in all, things went fine."
Patrons were somewhat inconvenienced by limited access to library parking. The city kept the paved area behind the building open until 3 p.m. while concert set-up went on around it, but patrons could only access the lot from Charles Street. Chestnut at Market Street was blocked off early Friday to limit vehicular traffic through the site.

Suppose for a moment that God began taking from us the many things for which we have failed to give thanks.
Which of our limbs and faculties would be left?
Would I still have my hands and my mind?
And what about my loved ones?
If God were to take from me all those persons and things for which I have not given thanks, what would be left of me?
- Patrick Henry Reardon
Psalm 100: A psalm. For giving thanks.
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

In some cases of refractory stomatitis, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) will provide relief. One NSAID that
has shown effectiveness in cats with refractory stomatitis is piroxicam,4 which can be compounded into a liquid and administered at a dosage of 1 mg/cat orally every 72 hours. Side effects of piroxicam
include gastrointestinal ulceration. Meloxicam (Metacam—Boehringer Ingelheim) is another NSAID that is not labeled for oral
administration in cats but that may help control pain and inflammation. Avoid combining piroxicam, meloxicam, or any other
NSAID with corticosteroids because it increases the probability of gastrointestinal ulceration.
Immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory drugs, such as cyclosporine, interferon, and azathioprine, can be used instead of NSAIDS
to reduce oral inflammation, although the response varies and can take weeks to produce favorable results. To avoid serious
or potentially fatal side effects, appropriate patient monitoring is paramount, especially when using azathioprine.
Laser ablation of the inflamed oral tissue has also been recommended. Tissue that has been treated with a laser has a reduced
blood supply and may be less likely to become inflamed.5

10 Creative Tips to Attract New Customers4
Are you wondering how you're going to increase sales? Don't worry, you aren't alone.
Finding new customers is a fundamental challenge for every business. If you're looking to attract new business or service new clients here are ten creative tips to help turn prospects into paying customers.
1. Give something away.
Every time we "give away" something, we get lots of additional prospects, which directly leads to new business. In our experience, the larger the prize, the more new clients we get in return. Not only do we have a lot of fun giving away something, but we get new clients in the door — it's a win-win.
Angela Nielsen, President and Creative Director at One Lily Creative Agency: @onelily
2. Meet people.
All of my best, and repeat, clients are people I met personally before they did business with me or they're a referral from an existing client. Typically, people suggest that you attend Chamber of Commerce and Meetup.com events, but I've had great luck meeting people at non-business related events that focus on personal interests.
Kane Jamison, Owner at Hood Web Management: @KaneJamison
3. Create a buzz.
Create buzz about your product or service and it will eventually go viral. Start with outstanding customer service. If you treat customers with the utmost respect and patience, people will learn through word-of-mouth that your company is a reputable brand to do conduct business with. Many businesses lack proper customer service and eventually, it cripples them.
Ian Aronovich, Cofounder and CEO at Government Auctions: @GovtAuctions
4. Pay it forward.
As a new business owner with a small marketing budget who does a significant amount of cold calling, I believe in building relationships by "paying it forward" on a personal level as well as business level. I get my share of hang ups on cold calls, but I'm astounded by the number of buyers with whom, after a several minute phone call with a complete strange, I develop a connection and find an opportunity to help.
It can be as simple as offering free samples for our affiliate program, sharing a media contact, suggesting a web designer or even sharing a favorite recipe. Quite often, I've concluded such calls with a new business lead, a sale, and a few months down the road … possibly a new friend.
Anne Griffin, Partner at Bulgarian Pottery and Gifts: @BPottery
5. Take an interest.
Entrepreneurs have forgotten the strategies that have stood the test of time. Networking is still the best source of clients for my company. 'm referring to networking in the sense of looking to help others grow their business and take a personal interest in their lives. What goes around comes around, right?
Rishi Patel, CEO and Founder at Monazu Creative Group: @Monazu

By Ken de la Bastide CNHI News Service
The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON – Trey Craig took advantage of the low groove opening up with 10 laps remaining to claim his second CRA Top Speed Fabrication Sportsman Late Model win of the year at Anderson Speedway.
There was plenty of action over the course of the final 15 laps as leader Danny Trent battling a left rear tire going flat while being pressured by Mark Lambert, Craig and Bobby Blount.
Trent's effort to maintain the lead ended on lap 65 when he spun going down the back straight. That put Mark Lambert into the lead with Blount lining up on the outside.
On the restart Lambert and Blount drifted high in turn two which allowed Craig to dive to the inside and grab the lead and the victory. He was followed to the checkers by Lambert, K.C. Spillers, Trent and Blount.
"I was watching them," Craig said of Lambert and Blount on the final restart. "I stayed back not wanting to get into their wreck. When they went high the bottom opened up."
Craig also set the fast time during qualifying and started eighth in the 22-car field, working his way to the front.
Jason Atkinson led the first 14 laps of the race before Trent was able to get inside entering turn three. Atkinson's night would end on lap 34 with a mechanical problem.
There were four caution periods in the first 10 laps, and only four over the final 65 circuits.
Spillers overcame an incident with Ronnie Rose on lap six while the two were racing for the third position to record his podium finish.
For 25 laps Rob Allman was able to keep Tom Gossar and Curtis Chapman at bay to record his second WMDH Thunder Car feature win of the season.
Allman, who set quick time, jumped into the lead at the start but was never able to pull more than a half a car length lead over Tom Gossar with Chapman glued to the tail of Gossar.
Allman won over Tom Gossar by .179-seconds followed by Chapman, Tommy Brown Jr. and Trent Gossar.
During the past four events, Allman has scored two victories and two runner-up finishes.
Paul Phipps led the entire distance to win his first feature win since the first week of the season in the Front Wheel Drive Oval Division.
The driver to watch was Jerry Dane, who went to a back-up car for the feature and started at the tail of the field and worked his way up to a second place finish. Kamden Creek, Elliott McKinney and Marshall Clark Jr. rounded out the top five.
With the victory Phipps took the point lead over McKinney by eight points in the championship battle.
Kevin Henson dominated Front Wheel Drive Figure-8 action for his seventh feature win of the year.
Henson took the lead from the pole position and steadily pulled away from Mike Alley and Elliott McKinney. Randy Hoppes and Bruce McFall rounded out the top five.

Boise State's blue turf has become an important part of the football program's brand, making it as instantly recognizable to a TV viewer as the midfield star at Cowboys Stadium or the Green Monster at Fenway.
The fan base is also clearly passionate about its playing surface (see the comments section in a column by my colleague David Ramsey if you doubt that.).
So, what does Air Force think about it?
"It kind of hurt my eyes," is what offensive tackle Jerry Henry recalls from a trip to Boise during his sophomore season.
That trip marked Air Force's only meeting with BoiseState, a game the Broncos won 37-26 on Oct. 22, 2011.
"It's really the same as green turf," running back Jon Lee said. "I thought it was going to be brighter or something, but it's the same as playing on green turf. It's just the Smurf turf."
Coach Troy Calhoun has no problem with the blue and, like so many other things, found a way to spin the situation into something relative for his future officers.
"Truth is, we're going to have to do jobs where either you're going to work on ground that's brown," Calhoun said. "Or you're going to fly over a desert that's gray. You're going to fly over areas where it's blue. You're going to fly over grass or forests or jungles where it's green. I don't think it hurts."

NEW YORK - APRIL 19: Comedian Tina Fey poses for photos at the 2010 Matrix Awards presented by New York Women in Communications at The Waldorf Astoria on April 19, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by Jemal Countess/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Tina Fey
Anyone who has seen even five minutes of "30 Rock" knows that Tina Fey almost never pulls punches.
So it must have seemed odd to PBS viewers who tuned into a program Sunday night in which Fey was presented with the Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, to hear the "SNL"-alum speak so tamely about Sarah Palin.
"I would be a liar and an idiot if I didn't thank Sarah Palin for helping get me here tonight," Fey said on the broadcast. "My partial resemblance and her crazy voice are the two luckiest things that ever happened to me."
As it turns out, that's not all she said -- but the most biting bits landed on the editing room floor.
Earlier in her acceptance speech Fey blasted Palin's politics.
"And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women," Fey said, "except, of course, those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape kit 'n' stuff. But for everybody else, it's a win-win. Unless you're a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years -- whatever. But for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us. Unless you believe in evolution. You know - actually, I take it back. The whole thing's a disaster."
That clever rant never made it to air -- a fact that PBS executive producer Peter Kaminsky insists has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with timing. The 90-minute show ran 19 minutes too long, Kaminsky said, and something had to go.
"It was not a political decision," Kaminsky told the Washington Post. "We had zero problems with anything she said."
That may be true but you'd think a sophisticated show honoring comedy could find some place to cut other than, you know, the honoree's jokes.

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP Review
Awesome power, good looks, relatively uncommon.
Mad torque steer, FWD
New Gxp — The car is amazing, plenty of power, looks and sounds great stock, turns a few heads when people know what they are looking at. Over all a great car, rides nice, very quick and still gets decent mileage. 31.3 mpg on the highway and when I can keep my foot out of it about 22 in town, not to bad for a 5.3 V-8!

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Base Review
Very nice and stylish look. Handles very well with lots of power. Car is very comfortable for a 6foot 3 person as myself. Descent gas mileage for daily commuting because car is solid and strong.
Sometimes you can be going a little too fast and not realize it because its so comfortable.
Perfect Cool Car — I loved everything about this car, how it handles and mostly how reliable it is. It tells you when you need oil change and more. The car sounds great and the engine is strong and powerful. I love how roomy it is. No trip to the shop unless for oil change and inspection of vehicle. This car is very safe and really fun to drive.

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Base Review
The pontiac grand prix is a nice looking family sedan that is fast, sporty, and fun to drive
the transmission stick can be stiff and the turning radius isn't good
I Think It Is A Great Car — The acceleration is very good,(if you you floor it you might to a burnout), Braking is quick and excellent, handling is good, but not so quite so much when you try to park. The build quality is great because it is a stiff tough car and needs but needs a good warranty, and doesn't squeak or rattle at all. The appearance of the car is awesome, The exterior and interior are sporty and cool-looking. The MPG is 21 miles with a base v6 version, and maintenance is mostly low. This car is fun to drive and is a cool sports car and family sedan.

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Base Review
Low value makes it cheap to buy used, great engine
Bad handling, unwelcoming interior, car replacing it is superior
Would Be Great If It Only Didn't Have To Turn... — The Pontiac Grand Prix is no longer being made and is being replaced by the Australian Holden Commodore named the G8. Its fairly large for a car of its price but that price does sacrifice a few things. The 3.8L V6 this car got from Buick is very good, there is no denying that this V6 is probably enough power this car will need making me think the V8 and supercharged V6...excessive. Straight line power is where this car shines. Handling...this is where I think this car flops on. You have a lot of power going to the front wheels moving a heavy vehicle but GM just didn't design a good enough suspension to make this car corner well thus wasting a lot of the engine's power. The G8 should be significantly better being RWD and thus more balanced. The interior...I've never been very comfortable in the seats. They're oddly shaped and I always have to constantly adjust. The rest of the interior isn't exactly terrible, but you just can't say its nice looking since its just pure dark plastic. The wheel is gigantic, it just doesn't need to be this big. It is well equipped for a base car. Built quality is actually quite good for a GM car. To own a Grand Prix...if you bought it new you might not wish to sell it because it depreciates very badly. Great news if you want to buy one used. The large V6 is not fuel efficient along with the heavy body. Its size is good if you want to carry 5 passengers relatively comfortably and need a large trunk. This isn't the greatest looking Grand Prix amongst the whole line. The 2-door from the 80s was clearly the best looking. This car does look aggressive and the powertrain will convince you of this...but without that its largely forgettable.

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Review
I love the car. It is stylish and very comfortable. I had a 1999 Grand Am before I bought this one, and I swear the interior space is so much bigger in the Grand Prix. Trunk size is huge too compared to the Grand Am.
I bought this car used so it has issues I'm going to have to fix. I have two alert lights that come on... Monitor Tire System and Reduced Engine Power. Other than that I don't have any issues with the car.
Overall, I Think This Car Is Awesome. — This is the first Grand Prix I have owned. I have only owned this car for one month. I bought this car used. It has a couple of issues that need repaired. I only hope the repairs are not expensive.

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Base Review
I love this car; the looks, performance, handling (for the size of the car), and the interior... how the radio, climate control, and DIC are slightly positioned towards the driver.
For the 2008 base model, there isn't a whole lot you can do to it (performance upgrades) without it being strictly custom. When I installed an aftermarket radio, I spent $108 on the wiring harness and interface module alone. Also, if you are someone that thinks they know just ENOUGH about car audio installation to try and do it yourself... I would recommend that you have a car audio technician work the install because of the interface module and the RAP (Retained Accessory Power).
I Love My 08 Grand Prix, But I Had To Personalize It To Feel That Way. — I love my 08 Pontiac Grand Prix Base, I have slept in this car so many times, spent hours and hours in this car on several different occasions; whether it was installing an aftermarket stereo system, installing LEDs, seat covers, scheduled maintenance, and just relax and listen to the music. It might be weird but she is like my baby and her name is Penelope lol I truly have to say, that this car has been through quite a beating in the last 4 and a half years... I just hope she can hold out for another 4 and a half years!

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP Review
V8 power is exceptional. Handling is exceptional because of the wide wheel base. Front wheel drive. Quality built GM product is very sturdy, products used to make this car are top of the line.
Repairs to a V8 motor are more expensive than standard engines whether car or truck.
Amazing — I love the power and the look of this car! Its amazing!! This is my second GXP! Great price for a sports car 5.3L V8 engine with this many extras. Its a shame they don't make these anymore. And if muffler sounds are something to appreciate then you'll love this car even more! Has a dual exhaust rumble that people stop to notice!

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP Review
Everything, I have had my Grand Prix GXP for a couple of months now and love it, I have the heads up display, sun roof, V-8, great handling, FAST!!!, and looks good.
Back seat head room is lacking and it is not as wide inside as it looks outside.
Great Car I Will Never Get Rid Of It! — I love everything about this car so far for the most part, it moves when you need it to and can take turns at high speeds like an indy car lol, I have had a chance to drive this car out of state and loved the ride, the V-8 is pretty thirsty as expected however for me the performance is worth it.

stiff ride, hard back seats.
Best 4 Door I've Ever Owned. — Had the car since new (07). Never left me down, looks great in black and overall performance is great. I've seen more than 900 km's per tank and it's always a blast driving on the open road. Resale value is pretty bad, but that's the case with most of GM's sedans.

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Review
Sick first car to have.
Too many on the road.
Glad That The G8 Replaced It, But Not Surpised To See That The Pontiac Brand Has Died. — Pros: Pretty fast car. Nice V8 sound from the quad exhaust tips. Good sound system, but would've rather had the upgraded Bose sound system. Steering stays stiff even at highway speeds with none of that "floaty" or "numb" steering felt which plagues many of the luxury brands. FWD performs a lot better than I thought; you can easily mistake this car for one with RWD. Standard remote start was amazing for the winter. Acceleration from a stop is pretty good as well. Gas mileage is decent for a car of this size, but I guess you pay at the pump as a compromise for the more powerful engine. Oh well. Cons: The interior has a lot of "empty" space; the same interior used in the first-generation Cadillac CTS is the same used here. The A-pillars are so thick; you have to really stretch your head out to peer around corners before making turns. Would've definitely like to have seen more aluminum trim inside the car. Pontiac was supposed to be the sport brand of GM anyways. Wind-noise dampening could have been a lot better. The red LEDs that illuminate inside the car could have been avoided as well as I find they really interfere with nighttime driving. Overall, this car really surprised me. It's a lot nicer than I had made it out to be, and a lot more powerful than I had expected. Hopefully the many downfalls of this car have been addressed with the G8 replacement for the Grand Prix. Too bad that GM let go of Pontiac; they weren't a strong enough brand to survive by themselves anyway.

Police horsebox breaks down on M62 near Bradford
Updated 11:17am Sunday 13th July 2014 in News
Motorists were saddled with an unexpected delay on the M62 yesterday evening after a police horsebox broke down on a slip round at Chain Bar roundabout.
The eastbound slip road towards Leeds was closed temporarily while the reserve horsebox was requested.
The second vehicle was angled across the road to keep the four horses away from any traffic and allow them to be safely transferred.
The horses and their riders are thought to have been returning from duty at Huddersfield Carnival, which took place on Saturday afternoon.
