Mirroring the scofflaw ways of Guv Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife, Maria Shriver ... Jay Leno broke Calee-for-nee-ah law this week by yucking it on a cell phone while driving old school.
Looks like Maria is more influential than Arnold these days.
Jay, do you watch Krank Yankers? Awsome!! You remind me of Special Ed...Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, only he's better looking and doesn't have a chin disorder.
What... no Michael Jackson news? It's been aleast 4 days and no news about him...
The vehicle is not moving! He's in his driveway. TMZ are such douches to try and pin something on Jay Leno that is not true. The never ending tattlers, always trying to pin something on a celebrity.....talk about biting the hand that feeds their sorry asses. As for the car thing, he works on them himself, restores them, and educates.
No seat belts.
No doors.
The violations pile up.
That car is not grandfathered in because more than 47% of the car was repaired and replaced.
im pretty sure the stalkers who take pics for this page.dont hope on their cell phone to get an early jump on selling the pics they had just taken while driving.id rather have someone talking on a cell phone while driving.than haveing a pap chasing me trying to run me off the road.
what does that thing do. 25/30 mph? enjoy the ride jay.
The car doesn't appear to be moving...
So it's illegal to talk on the phone in a parked car in CA? What a weird state.
This is for the schnooks, especially #1, who throw idiotic remarks around in an apparent attempt to waste cyberspace much less know ANYTHING about Jay's collections of mechanical masterpieces.
This is the one thing I don't get with TMZ. People break laws everyday, including celebs. Driving while talking on a cell is a $20 ticket here in CA...speeding is worse. TMZ, are you going to start posting videos of celebs going more than 5 miles over the speed limit? Give me a break.
Meep! Meep! "Yes, can you drive me to 320 Sycamore, and can ya hurry, Mary's waiting for me! Thanks, Bert!"
Slow news day (let me guess, more "guess who" and "spot the difference" Photoshops coming!)
Using Shriver in the title of this article is misleading and should only be reserved for the truly ugly woman (inside and out).
Love, shuffler.
Hello.....Hello......how do you start this thing anyway?
Leno sucks end of story.
1907 White Steamer
"Volvo had the first safety belts in 1949."
"the first seat belt law was a federal law which took effect on
January 1, 1968 that required all vehicles (except buses) to be
fitted with seat belts in all designated seating positions.â
A private residential driveway is not usually partially designated as
a fire lane (red curb @ lower left) or have its address stenciled
within its confines.
All those celebrities should get tickets for breaking the law, just like the common person.

Electronic cigarettes represent a growing market share of the cigarette industry but, unlike chewing tobacco and traditional cigarettes, they contain no tobacco and are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
A Bloomberg News editorial in The Journal Gazette Aug. 21 called for the Food and Drug Administration to regulate e-cigarettes.
Organizations such as the American Lung Association have urged the FDA to halt the sale and distribution of all e-cigarettes unless the products have been reviewed and approved for sale by the agency.
E-cigarettes are a battery-operated, flameless, odorless product that produces a water vapor instead of smoke and is used in the same manner as a regular cigarette.
The market for these products has rapidly expanded. The makers have created e-cigarettes in many shapes and sizes and flavors. Some look like traditional cigarettes, while others resemble cigars or pipes. While e-cigarettes are not a tobacco product, they still contain nicotine, the highly addictive drug found in regular cigarettes.
E-cigarettes are particularly enticing to young people because of their flavored nicotine cartridges such as chocolate and strawberry. They are touted as a safer alternative to traditional smoking and are easily accessible on the Internet and at mall kiosks. While they are promoted as a safer alternative to tobacco products, limited research on e-cigarettes makes it difficult to fully understand their risks.
Here in Indiana, we have already implemented a new law which limits young Hoosiers' access to e-cigarettes. This past session, I authored House Enrolled Act 1225, which prohibits the sale of e-cigarettes to anyone younger than 18. The law, which went into effect on July 1, applies the same sales regulations to e-cigarettes that are already in place on regular cigarettes.
Minors are not allowed to buy traditional tobacco cigarettes and should not have access to e-cigarettes either. This bill had wide support, including backing from the manufacturers of e-cigarettes, and is a great first step.
As the FDA begins its regulatory action this fall, I am proud that Indiana did not take a wait-and-see attitude when it comes to the health and welfare of our young people.
I hope that the FDA will take note of this and further study the long-term effects of e-cigarettes – not just for minors but for the safety of us all.

Score from 289 reviews Very good
Fabulous location for getting around. Bus from Paris CDG airport drops you off within a 5 minute easy walk. All the big attractions are within walking distance or the Metro and bus stops are an easy 5 minute walk. Loads of restaurants nearby. Staff are excellent. This is the 4th time we've stopped at the hotel and the first with friends so its highly recommended.
Great location Great staff Great Air Conditioning Great value Returned to same hotel after staying there 4 years ago.
Small room.....never there though.
Central location Size of the room and of the bathroom Comfort of bed
Small lift and very small space between it and the rooms Poor wifi connection
Staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel very clean and serviced daily. Good position and we enjoyed walking to the Champs Elysees via the Arc de Triomphe. Close to Metro, boutiques, eateries, restaurants,markets, patisseries. All needs met.
The single rooms are not spacious and the shower somewhat small. Not a major problem.
Great staff, very helpful and friendly. Nice location close to the Arc. Nice neighborhood with several cafes and bars close by.
The bathroom and bedroom are very small, but typical for Paris
coffee making in room. near the metro. Near shops. Very helpful staff.
Extremely helpful staff, cosy atmosphere and perfectly situated place close to the Arc !
Good location
Wifi connection very poor Breakfast very disappointing, not worth the price Rooms small and dark
Small romantic hotel situated near to metro station Argentina. Kind staff.
Location is awesome. 50 m from Metro (Argentine) stop. Hotel is clean, our room had not any strange/old smells, it was fair for the money we paid. Bed was ok, not too soft, not too hard. Staff was different - older guy was good, lady was ok, although not too helpful but the young guy in glasses was awesome. He spent great 10 minutes to find out the best options for us to go to CDG airport at night which is a bit challenging in Paris as Metro is closed and if you do not want to pay 60-80EUR for taxi. So helped us a lot.
Just the size of the room, the shower is 60x60, bigger people would barely fit in.
+ for location, very friendly staff, overall conditions, no disturbing neighbours
Breakefast place, well decorated. Bathrooms clean and good beds. People very friendly
Tiny room with older paper wall
I have tried many hotels in Paris - sometimes close to Place d'Itali - for work, but this hotel was indeed excellent for the present purpose - and close to the buses from the airport
Nothing - i just enjoyed it
It was in a good area and very convenient to the metro. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The location was perfect. Just close to the triumph, and the champs elysees. Beds really confortable,and no noisy, so perfect!Breakfast very good too. The second time in this hotel, i ll repeat soon!
The room is a quite small, but it doesnt matter when you go to visit the city.
The hotel's central position near the metro,restaurants and shops.
This place is cozy and clean. The staff are efficient and pleasant. Breakfast is lovely, and there is an "honor bar" at night where you serve yourself and write down what you had.
Rooms are small, but that's to be expected.
All perfect.
Breakfast at 13 € could be more various and rich.
Breakfast poor , i think no need to charge money. Not serving any hot dish. Only cold. For 13 eur.
This is a central location . It is close to line 1 Metro at Argentine which is less fuss than Place D'Etoille. Rooms are well finished . Staff are pleasant. Atmosphere is relaxed and the whole thing works!
Wi Fi is a little slow but this is bearable. We were on 6th. floor and the traditionally small French elevator was -sometimes- slow.
Fantastic and friendly staff, nothing was too much to ask. Especially Italian lady on our first day. Cleaning lady very helpful as well. Very clean and cosy. Excellent location, close to everything. Great facilities in room. Recommend Lacombe cafe for breakfast nearby. Also supermarket just across the way. very handy. Very pleased overall, would recommend definitely.
Bath could have bath strips in it, as bit slippy. Breakfast could be little cheaper in the hotel for guest to be more tempted to eat there. Also it said in the brochure up in the room that it was €12 but downstairs in reception it was €13.
Good breakfast for a fair price
Room very small (but clean and okay for a short stay)
Location is good, near to metro
Staff is not so good.
good location (quiet, near the metro 1) ; very clean ; good bed
tiny room, tiny lift, tiny stairs (taken in account if the lift is out of service)
Awesome location, great staff

El Amigo Mexicano understands that cravings for tacos, burritos, or chorizo can strike at any time. That's why the restaurant fills its menu with breakfast selections alongside lunch and dinner options and stays open late. The eatery greets early risers with eggs scrambled with chorizo, smothered in red sauce, or delicately cocooned inside a tortilla. Lunch and dinner options sate cravings with burritos topped with melted cheese or gordita pockets filled with beans, avocado, and the diner's choice of meat.

Board-certified in family medicine, Dr. Faiz Shareef believes good health requires a multidisciplinary approach that addresses physical and emotional needs. To create an environment that caters to all aspects of holistic well-being, he assembled staff members who specialize in everything from aesthetics and massage to fitness and weight loss. The technicians refine skin tone and texture with laser treatments, and the fitness instructors bolster confidence while leading core-toning and limb-lengthening yoga, Pilates, and Zumba classes. Bodywork services, such as therapeutic massage and acupuncture, target the chronic aches and pains caused by daily stress or nightly caber-toss competitions, and the center?s weight-loss plans motivate patients to live healthier lifestyles.
At some point, every customer of JJ's Pizza Shack should order the Kitchen Sink pizza, a behemoth of a pie that is topped with sausage, bacon, canadian bacon, pepperoni, ham, cheese, and veggies and proudly touted as the pizzeria's trademark dish. But until they build up the appetite for such a meaty undertaking, customers can try other specialty traditional-crust and deep-dish pies such as taco pizza or a veggie pizza with mushrooms and green peppers. In addition to 'za, JJ's kitchen also serves pasta, double cheeseburgers, and foot-long sandwiches on toasted French bread.
Founded in 1996 at a lone store in Carrollton, Texas, Smoothie Factory began its journey simply by selling smoothies and nutritional supplements. The menu has since expanded to include frozen yogurt, juices, and healthy meals, but the franchise—which operates out of nine states and four countries—still focuses on its original mission: meeting the dietary needs of health-conscious customers with real fruit, nutritional supplements, and nonfat yogurt.
Each store mixes more than 30 flavor combinations, including Just Peachy, Very Berry, and Island Delight, a tropical blend of pineapple, banana, orange, and honey. Nutritional boosts such as caffeine, multivitamins, and fiber spin into chilled beverages to enhance weight loss and energy or give drinkers the cognitive ability to name all the stars in the universe.

Dear JOM
I don't want to record a video... as matter of fact, I just want to *play* an already existent video file.
In the same spirit of 'audio' module, can I do something like:
I already googled around and still hadn't any solid information. So here goes the questions:
a) Is video API available for latest PyS60 releases?

Hi there, first of all: great work! Really love your template. I only have a problem with the notifications, look here(after I press red box with 9):http://www.semplicemente.ch/amanda.png
Take your time! Best Regards, Daniel
Hi, thanks for purchasing amanda. The notification uses ajax to call the data from somewhere else using url ($.post). To solve this problem you need to put the files in your local/remote server because $.post doesn't work if you directly open the file from your drive.
Hi themepixels. Amanda is a great theme. Thank you so much for putting together. Can you incorporate things like the gallery and the dashboard from Starlight into the Amanda theme? That would really make Amanda perfect. Please advise. Thank you.
Ok I will do that. Wait until Monday for the next update
Hey, this is great. Perfect thing for my little social media site that I'm doing for someone. Can you provide a few themed "chat entries" in your "Customer Service" section? With a profile pic and themed text? That would be great.. Thanks!
Hi, thanks for purchasing this template. I don't understand what you mean. Do you have any sample that you can show it to me? Thanks
hy where is the ? - edit profile - account settings - compose message we need theme
The ones you mention are just sample link and if you want to create that pages refer to forms.html page
Great!!!! I'm waiting the next update to buy it.
update is now available
where is the footer?
there's no need to add footer since this is not a front page
Awesome, What can it be used for? Like, is this for a specific content management system or is it just a shell to be used in any job?
for admin panel, a back-end system
Hi, first of all thanks for the great work.
I ask for an advice. Do you think it is possible to adapt the template for IE6 and IE7 browser compatibility? Many thanks in advance.
IE7 would be possible but for IE6 I can't sorry
What is the method to create two sets of tabs on the same page? Anything I try doesn't seem to work.Something like this doesn't work.
Tab Set #1

Sample Tab 1

Sample Tab 2

Sample Tab 3

 ...

 Tab Set #1

Sample Tab 4

Sample Tab 5

Sample Tab 5

Hi, you must use unique id so in set 1 the id is #tabs then set 2 should be #tabs2. Never use the same id name
Hi themepixels. Amanda is a great theme.
can u complete the form with validation. add more objects and * (red) . Thank you.
I don't see a badge that you purchase this template. About the form yes i can add it
Ok… I bought it.
for Next Update : Responsive layout issue Tooltips Invoice Page
and form with validation
When do you perform these updates?
There is form validation already just find it in the demo in Forms and click the tab Validation. For next update it should be available by next week
form validation with more objects and * (red) .
Very nice indeed…Congrats. I am thinking in buy it but why not in html5? That's really kicking me down, and it even may slow your sales.
i don't understand what you mean about html5. Some pages of this template use html5 like the report, login. Some are not necessary
Nice package!
I'm going down a path that perhaps I should not… I am attempting to put a vernav2 menu inside each section of an accordion. If not that, then having my vernav2 menu go 3 levels deep. So far, it's a no-go but it may not be designed for that.
Any input on either approach?
left menu is not designed for a 3 levels deep but i can tweak it to support more than 2 levels. I will add this in the next update
hi, still no update on the modal boxes?
there is a modal box already just go to the demo for gallery and file manager
I don't really see how to populate tables only from the back-end. I saw the code for update a row but I have not seen anything else. Is there a way to populate from the backend like jQgrid? Would another viable approach be to use jQgrid but Amanda for non-table content ? – if so, would there be any css conflicts?
In both cases I might be trying to do something beyond the scope of amanda – let me know if that is the case.
I know there is, to learn more about that plugin you can go to their website http://datatables.net/.
Hi, I usually use wordpress. I've recently purchased an html site template. How would or could this template help me in administering that site if at all. I understand this is an admin template, but an admin template for what program?
You can use this template as an admin for your website. For example you have an application that uses a framework like CodeIgniter or Zend for your website
where the PSD files? HOW DO I DO sketch? FOR MY Coder? I WILL DO REFUNDS
There are 2 psd files included in this template, one for the icons and the other for the header. It didn't mention that there's psd for the whole page.
Do you know of a reason why i would be having issues (appearance issues) with jQgrid in an Amanda-themed web page?
I'm trying to make an existing site slicker with Amanada but I am having trouble with jQgrid.
Any thoughts?
This template doesnt use jQgrid. If you are using it and you encounter an error i'm pretty sure there is javascript conflict. Do you have a live page for this? Or can you tell me what's the error?
Hey, one quick thing, I really like how you have set up your news feed with the list items… Would you be able to show an example of how to nest an item under a main list item? For instance, a comment under a comment, with a box to show where to add comment.. Just the markup
Maybe start a new [ul] underneath the main [li] for all the responses? If you have time for that, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hey, really great template – one question: I checked out the icon sets you used, but I can't figure out which you used for the headermenu. I want to add some more in the same style …

According to a recent study, students in these degrees receive more job offers before graduation.
Earning a college degree takes time, effort, and money, so you want to be sure you choose the right major. If your goal behind earning a degree is pursuing a promising career, it might help to know which majors are more likely to generate job offers before you even complete your course of study.
Fortunately, there's actually data available to assist you in the decision-making process. "The College Class of 2013," published by the National Association for Colleges and Employers (NACE), surveyed close to 10,000 college seniors who were scheduled to graduate, and discovered that for five majors in particular, over half of the students had at least one job offer by the time they graduated.
Before you decide which degree path is for you, see which majors are the ones employers love and learn why.
Major #1: Bachelor's Degree in Computer ScienceFind Degree Programs
According to the NACE, an impressive 68.7 percent of computer science majors had at least one job offer by the time they graduated.
Why Employers Like It: It's hard to imagine life without computers, and our reliance on them is only growing. "As individual consumers, we're increasing our use of technology (the 'app economy') and businesses are tackling initiatives in areas including cloud computing, big data, and cyber security," says Robin Schooling, managing director at Silver Zebras, a human resources strategy company in Baton Rouge, La. And to meet this demand, Schooling says, "organizations must increasingly hire technology professionals."
"The whole economy operates on computer technology, and computer science majors know how to make that vast IT economy work - everything from programming to integration to security," explains Anthony Skjellum, a computer science professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "As a result, companies like Google are offering $150,000 bonuses to programmers; Apple has a voracious demand for developers; and even mid-size and small companies are searching for people with computer technology skills."
Next step: Click to Find the Right Computer Science Program.
What You'll Study: Computer science majors learn programming languages such as C++ and Java, according to the College Board, a non-profit organization that links students to college success and opportunity. Computer science students may also take courses in data structures and algorithms, digital system design, and mathematics for computer science.
Potential Careers:*
- Software Developer
- Computer Systems Analyst
- Computer Support Specialist
- Computer and Information Systems Manager
- Web Developer
Major #2: Bachelor's Degree in Economics
Computers aren't your thing? You could still find plenty of job opportunities to pursue with an economics major. Economics clocked in at number two in job offers, with 61.5 percent of surveyed students reporting they had at least one job offer by graduation.
Why Employers Like It: According to Schooling, economics is one of the most versatile of degrees. "Economics graduates learn to apply reasoning and analysis to a variety of societal, organizational, and business issues," says Schooling. "In a competitive environment, companies are looking for people who can provide economic analyses and forecast business trends."
What You'll Study: Students who study economics learn about economic theories and learn to dissect economic systems, says the College Board. It also reports that they may take such classes as econometrics, micro and macroeconomics, statistics, and international trade.
Potential Careers:*
- Personal Financial Advisor
- Financial Analyst
- Market Research Analyst
Major #3: Bachelor's Degree in AccountingFind Degree Programs
The honor of third highest job offer rate goes to accounting majors, with 61.2 percent of seniors majoring in accounting reporting that they received at least one job offer by graduation.
Why Employers Like It: There are three primary reasons why accounting firms are hiring so many students, according to Ed Ketz, associate professor of accounting at Penn State University: "Accounting and audits are necessary in good times and bad, forensic accountants are needed to combat white collar crime and, given the Financial Accounting Standards Board's** requirements for fair value measurements, valuation services are expanding."
Next step: Click to Find the Right Accounting Program.
What You'll Study: Accounting students learn the skills necessary to record, analyze, and interpret financial information, reports the College Board. Typical coursework includes classes in auditing, cost accounting, tax accounting, and business law.
Potential Careers:*
- Accountant
- Auditor
- Tax Collector
Major #4: Bachelor's Degree in EngineeringFind Degree Programs
Engineering had the fourth highest job rate, with 59 percent of students in engineering reporting receiving at least one offer of employment by graduation.
Why Employers Like It: "Engineering is one of the STEM degrees (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) experiencing a shortage of workers, so we'll continue to see a need for graduates in engineering disciplines," explains Schooling.� "In particular, there's a demand for biomedical engineers, petroleum engineers, civil engineers, and environmental engineers," she says.
Next step: Click to Find the Right Engineering Program.
What You'll Study: Engineering students learn to use math and science to solve problems, according to the College Board. Common courses include physics, engineering law, and numerical methods for scientists and engineers.
Various fields of engineering include chemical engineering, which involves learning how to put chemicals to work; mechanical engineering, which relates to the science behind machines; petroleum engineering, relating to methods of extracting oil and gas from the earth; and civil engineering, where students learn to use math and science to design construction projects, explains the College Board.
Potential Careers:*
- Biomedical Engineer
- Petroleum Engineer
- Civil Engineer
- Environmental Engineer
- Electrical Engineer
Major #5: Bachelor's in Business AdministrationFind Degree Programs
A bachelor's degree in business administration rounds out the top five majors with the highest rate of offers, with 54.3 percent of seniors reporting at least one offer of employment by graduation.
Why Employers Like It: "Students who major in business administration have an opportunity to not only learn about the what and the how of commerce, but also the why, says Carolyn D. Davis, assistant professor of management in the department of business administration at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga. "And companies are looking for students who can discern the 'whys' of situations, because they can develop better solutions to problems in rapidly-changing environments."
Schooling agrees and adds that students with a solid business education have usually acquired knowledge they can bring to almost any industry, and as a result, they are in high demand and can choose from a variety of career options.
Next step: Click to Find the Right Business Administration Program.
What You'll Study: Business administration and management students learn how to direct an organization's activities, the College Board reports. This program includes coursework in operations and financial management, human resources management, and business ethics and law.
Potential Careers:*
- Top Executive
- Market Research Analyst
- Financial Manager
* All potential careers listed come from the 2014-15 U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Outlook Handbook. The Department of Labor cites the associated degrees as common, required, preferred, or one of a number of degrees acceptable as preparation for the potential career. In some instances, candidates might require further schooling, professional certifications, or experience, before being qualified to pursue the career. Potential engineering careers require a specific engineering specialty.

Just got told I can't use FaceTime on an airplane
So I'm currently on a flight that has GOGO in flight wifi and I was using FaceTime to call my brother to get an
Update on my grandmother who is on the hospital. The flight attendant asked me if I was using my phone and I responded yes, but using wifi and FaceTime. She walked away. About a minute or
Two later, she tells me I cannot have any communication with the ground and that I can't be on the phone. I said ok and hung up.
At first, I wasnt too angry but given the fact that I have been using iMessage and facebook messenger to communicate, this seems like a good example of poor judgement on the flight attendant to attempt to stop communication. She clearly doesn't that given a stable wifi connection, information can be easily shared with the world.
What does the verge think?

11 Security Sights Seen Only At Black Hat
Google and Facebook may offer bug bounties, but Microsoft broke into the "cash for security code" movement with its inaugural BlueHat Prize, hosted at the Marquee nightclub in Las Vegas. "For our challenge to the security researcher community, we said, can you focus on defensive techniques that can focus on entire classes of attacks, instead of finding one-off vulnerabilities," said Mike Reavey, director of the Microsoft Security Response Center, in an interview at Black Hat. "And we put a quarter of a million dollars on the table, because we knew it's hard to do."
The winning submission, together with $200,000 of the prize money and mountains of free confetti, went to Columbia University graduate student Vasilis Pappas for kBouncer, which Microsoft described as "an efficient and fully transparent ROP [return-oriented programming] mitigation technique."

Allen Charles Hackley was arrested near the Los Angeles County city of Lakewood and booked into Southwest Detention Center for investigation of car theft, residential robbery, false imprisonment and receiving stolen property, according to deputies and jail records. His bail is $60,000.
Subsequently, Riverside County deputies arrested 24-year-old Valerie Lee Cook of Wildomar, 44-year-old Jeffrey Fleming of Santa Ana, and 40-year-old Kimberly Holguin of Bellflower, investigators said in a written statement. The charges against them were not disclosed.
The holdup happened at 12:29 p.m. May 7 when four robbers forced their way into a house along Channel Way Drive in Canyon Lake and used packing tape to bind the victim at gunpoint, according to the statement.
The robbers fled in the victim's 2012 Kia Soul and a blue compact car.
About 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Los Angeles County deputies spotted the stolen car near Lakewood and detained Hackley after a brief car chase, investigators wrote.
At 2:07 a.m. Sunday, Riverside County deputies served a search warrant at a house along Momat Avenue in Wildomar and arrested the three other suspects.
Anyone with additional information may call Investigator Omar Rodriguez at 951-210-1000.

The Chase for the Championship has added a lot of drama to NASCAR since its inclusion in 2004. While it can be argued whether or not it's added to the overall championship picture, it has added a layer to the middle of the season - the so-called race to Chase.
Jeff Gordon's victory on Sunday proved to be a game-changer in regards to trying to predict the would-be championship contenders. It seemed a forgone conclusion that despite his recent struggles, Kyle Busch would sneak in. The resurgent Kasey Kahne, with his two wins, appears to be a lock.
But Gordon's win, coupled with yet another Kyle Busch catastrophe changed everything. Gordon won the race and advanced to 13th in the standings. Meanwhile, Busch fell to 15th and out of the provisional wild card spot. Gordon is tied with Newman in both wins and points, but he holds the tie-breaker based on top-fives.
All three of are capable of winning at least once more, and they might need another win to seal the deal. And then there's Carl Edwards, still sitting out of the top-10, and without a win. Gordon's victory hurt Edwards more than any other contender. The 2012 championship runner-up was hoping to sneak-in a victory over the final six races, but with only one win over his last two seasons, the ability to win multiple times appears to be out of the question.
Don't forget about the struggling Joey Logano either, who also has one win, sitting in 17th place. A second win would likely negate this entire conversation. And while it's a long shot, Marcos Ambrose repeating at Watkins Glen on Sunday could really make things interesting. He sits 18th in the standings, right in the middle of the wild card log jam. He's not just a road course ace anymore, with Atlanta, his favorite oval less than a month away.
Ambrose could become the wildcard of the Wild Card standigs.
The Race to Chase heated up on Sunday, and the next five weeks should provide some of the most intriguing storylines of the entire season.
And lastly, here's who I predict will challenge for the championship once the standings reset in September:
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Matt Kenseth
Greg Biffle
Jimmie Johnson
Martin Truex Jr.
Brad Keselowski
Kevin Harvick
Tony Stewart
Denny Hamlin
Clint Bowyer
Kasey Kahne
Jeff Gordon
In other words, there's no change from the status quo. Does my list differ from yours? Tell us in the comments section below!

What are they smoking at First Nations Bank?
There has always been this big bulge in Manitoba's population that reflects so-called baby boomers, that disproportionately large generation born during the 20 years following the Second World War. The only thing comparable in the province today is the huge increase in our native population.
The original baby boomers have dominated our music and culture (Why do you think we are still listening to the Rolling Stones and guys like Paul McCartney fill our stadiums with parents, grandparents and grandchildren?)
But for a long time, there was little hope these "hippies" would amount to anything, especially in business. They smoked pot, dressed funny, their music was strange and they had long hair.
Flash forward and those hippies, such as Steven Jobs, have become the tycoons of industry and technology.
And, according to Keith Martell, CEO of the First Nations Bank of Canada, this is exactly what is going to happen to the First Nations boomers who are under 25 now but remain a bulge in our demographics for years to come.
Now, I can already hear some readers saying First Nations people are different. I'm not going to get into that argument because it is mostly based on opinions or relatively limited research and experience.
I'm just going to give you some interesting facts Martell presented to a near-capacity crowd at a luncheon of the Aboriginal Chamber of Commerce at the Winnipeg Convention Centre last week.
The First Nations Bank was established to loan money to First Nations people, mostly commercial investments, but also mortgages and other loans as banks do. The bank has just completed its 12th straight year of profitable operations and now has assets of $300 million (audited financial statements are published annually).
You don't have that kind of success rate unless you are dealing with corporations that are managed competently by hard-working people who are marketing goods and services to ready markets that are expanding.
The First Nations Bank is primarily owned and operated by First Nations people. This could be one of the major factors in their success.
"The Aboriginal Capital Corporation that started the bank took over a First Nations loan program which was administered by the federal government, which had an 80 per cent failure rate, and brought that rate down to 1.5 per cent," Martell says. "First Nations Bank has since built on that success and experience and should convince First Nations and all Canadians to take a look at us and bring their banking business to First Nations Bank of Canada."
There's a big boom happening and the First Nations Bank is cashing in on it. Martell is inviting all Canadians to get involved. They might be wise to do so.
I was invited to the luncheon by the banks local senior commercial accounts manager Tom Thordarson, who told me he is sick of reading "negative stories" about First Nations people. Thordarson, from Peguis First Nation, is married with one child, lives in West Kildonan, loves taking holidays in the Dominican Republic and joining his neighbours in supporting the Jets and the Bombers.
Thordarson and Martell have accounting and business degrees up the ying yang. They are ignoring the stereotypes and looking at the facts.
And business is booming.
Don Marks is a Winnipeg writer. He couldn't find any members of the mainstream media at the Aboriginal Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

Model Details - Twinsfest 2008
February 6, 2008 11:42 PM
If you went to Twinsfest, you know there was lots to see and do. You also know that the center of attention -- the Mecca, if you will -- was the ballpark model. In fact, just like Mecca, there were constant throngs of people circling it very slowly, all clamoring for a divine glimpse. I was there Saturday morning and couldn't get near it.
Fortunately, I had already spent about an hour poring over it with my camera on Friday afternoon before the gates opened. There were still a few people around, and I didn't get my wish of getting shots with the glass removed, but I got a very long look and 120 high-resolution pictures. There was much to see.
Many of the changes were subtle. The biggest change that I noticed was the configuration of the area above the batter's eye. The model now matches the animation video, more or less. There are seats there, and an open concourse, and what looks like a small picnic area.
I'd love to do some detailed analysis, but my time is limited. So I'm going to dump a few of them out for you to see, and you can let me know what other details you're really interested in getting a look at. (As always, these are linked to very large versions. The cost of the added bandwidth is killing me, but I think that the details are important.)
Let's start today with the outfield...
To utilized enhanced comment features, please enable cookies in your browser.
So you'll be at the flagpole on opening day....does this mean your idea to bring the flagpole from the Met is going to happen?
Thanks for sharing more pics of the model. I like what they've done in centerfield.
Thanks for the update, and I didn't know until now about the "hi-def retro" scoreboard. I think that is the best of both worlds. Maybe they will animate the numbers to look like someone is manually changing them when runs are scored. I love it!
Nice work Rick!
The ped bridge is starting to cover the highway on the webcam....before you know it we will be walking across that cement!
To the author or anyone who wants to answer this question: Do you think, a la Dan Barreiro, that the new ballpark has a "cold" design? (not pretty enough)Myself, I don't think so. I like how the new park looks.
Posted on February 7, 2008 at 1:18 PM by Andrew Madison 4
The limestone, in itself, takes away any coldness which might have crept into the design (a la the poured-cement Metrodome). But you can also cite the compact size (I'm starting to hate the word "cozy"), the welcoming plaza, the recessed but spacious gate areas, and about a million small touches which are visible even to the untrained eye.
Anybody who would use the word "cold" in reference to this design either hasn't looked very closely or just wants to stir up discussion.
I suspect the latter. And, frankly, I hate when the media uses that technique just to get people talking. It's dishonest. You'll never find that here.
Posted on February 7, 2008 at 1:37 PM by Rick 5
Thanks for the great pics! Have the Twins designated the seating that is the few rows underneath the overhang? It will be interesting to see how they price out - it looks as if they will be a little more protected from the elements...
Thanks again, for the detailed images!
Thanks for the updates Rick! Very interesting as always!
I hear they've got some room on that payroll now. ;)
I'd need six years and a no-trade clause. Don't want to find myself writing about that new Mets ballpark...
Posted on February 7, 2008 at 4:36 PM by Rick 10
wow, not much of a grieving process on santana. already making jokes and moving on...guess we're getting used to this type of buzzkill around here.
btw, rick, this site is top-shelf. i check this site at least twice daily. great (and i mean GREAT) work. many many thanks for the excellent analysis and postings. give it up for rick, all thread-heads!
Agreed, terrific site and great work Rick. We are pretty lucky to be able to keep up with the construction of this great ballpark day by day. And I feel like when I eventually walk into the park in the spring of 2010, I'm going to know it like the back of my hand because of this site!
Hey Rick GREAT work!
Posted on February 10, 2008 at 1:53 PM by Noah 13
What are the "streets" of the street improvements that are being referred to. 2nd Avenue? The area behind the bus depot? The north loop? If the Salvation Army and the other homeless shelter remain behind the depot, you can forget about any street improvements there. Also the area around the new ballpark has different zoning (it's the entertainment zone) than the Metrodome. Any lack of tree planting etc, isn't going to stop the sports bars from taking root. You can bet on that.

Yet another nice piece! I really must hang out here more often. Do you know where Charlie Walters got his info that the flagpole is definately "in"?

Legend's Club, Section E (Click to enlarge greatly.)
A sidewalk has sprouted between the HERC and the LRT tracks!
Fun with section counting!
Working on the main concourse right about directly behind the plate.
Reasonable (if not overly generous) leg room
Fenway has posts. Target Field does not. But...
5:45 PM, section 327, row 9, standing: sunshine.
The brick has been tinted where the circulation ramp meets the admin building.
Seals Stadium
Lots of folks working behind those ticket windows
I love this view of the Basilica.
We took refuge for a time in the Twins Pub where you can drink a beer (or just hang out) and listen to some ballpark tunes. The organ is decorated with a TC (of course) and what looked like drawings which Sue has received from kids.
I could gaze at this streetscape all day. It isn't perfect, but as a model for Minneapolis, I love it. (Except the Biff, of course. Click to enlarge.)
Nine spots for hops bats.
Discussions in progress on some very brown grass...
Another B ramp glimpse (don't loiter here!)
One thing that the design disguises nicely is that the Pro Shop (and other key components) are actually built over lanes of freeway. That can clearly be seen here.
Marquette looking south
7:32 PM Glare begins at about the left field foul pole.
Did you notice the flowers?
Believe it or not, the actual outfield wall will be about where this fence is now!
Many people will approace the park from this direction and it's a pretty great first glimpse. It features all the design elements in modestly condensed form, and still manages to look like a ballpark (instead of something else).
A little higher angle shows how the two stations are close to one another but distinctly separate. The oval, glass-enclosed area is the entrance from the Northstar platform below into the ballpark. The LRT platform is comparable to the other stations along that route.
Looking from the doorway to the south, across Seventh Street
Thanks for all the hard work out there, Cold Safety-Line Dudes. (I'm glad that my job does not require safety lines...)

Investigators are trying to figure out who shot and killed two men and wounded another man inside an Arlington apartment.
Just before midnight on Saturday, police were called to the Las Lomas apartment complex off Timberlake Dr. When they arrived they found one of the shooting victims, who has not been identified, in a car, trying to drive to the hospital. That person had been shot in the shoulder.
Two men were found inside the apartment. One was dead at the scene. 22 year old Brian Young was taken to an area hospital where he later died.
Police said they believe the shooter and the victims knew each other.
"We were told there were a number of people inside the apartment so we do have a lot of witnesses to interview and go through," said Arlington Lt., Chris Cook.
Cook said there may have been more than one shooter and they continue to investigate.
The name of the man who was found dead inside the apartment has not yet been released.
