why do i get this error?? Windows security…these files can't be opened…your internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened. Does it have to do with the administrator account?? I get this everytime i type something into the start menu serarch area…i had vista but upgraded to windows 7?? can you help??
Why does my computer say I need to be administrator, when I am?
In Windows Vista and Windows 7, your account may be administrator but you still may be denied access, saying you need to be administrator. I'll show why and what to do.
My computer says that I need to be the administrator [to perform a task], but I already am! Any ideas as to what is happening?
You're not the administrator. Not really.
Oh, sure, you may think that you're the administrator. And Windows may have even lead you to believe that you're the administrator.
But, as the result of a new security feature introduced in Windows Vista and made less obnoxious in Windows 7, you're not the real administrator by default.
But you can be.
Administrator … But Not
UAC, or User Account Control, is an important security feature that, in essence, makes the account that you've created to be the administrator not have administrative privileges by default.
The reason is that most users run as administrator on their own machine. That means that without this feature, any programs you run also have full administrative privileges.
Including malware.
Whether you want it or not.
The solution is to think of your administrator account more like "administrator capable", rather than being the actual real-life administrator.
By administrator-capable, I mean that Windows will often ask you for permission before performing tasks that require true administrative access and you'll just have to say yes or no.
Accounts which are not administrator-capable will have to supply the administrator password to prove that the user has the authorization to do something that requires administrative privileges.
Asking Versus Denying
Not all programs are written in such a way that they can ask and it's not always possible to ask in every situation. The best that can happen then is to deny whatever it is you're attempting if it requires administrative access.
The solution is to run the program as administrator. Because your account is administrator-capable, you can run a program with full administrative privileges.
Many programs have this option, including the Windows Command Prompt, which is where I most often use this trick. I'll use the more commonly used Windows Explorer as an example.
Right-click on the Windows Explorer icon:
Now, right-click again, but this time, on the Windows Explorer line in that pop-up menu:
As you can see, there's what we're looking for: "Run as administrator". Click on that. You'll get the UAC confirmation prompt. After clicking Yes, that instance of Windows Explorer has full administrative privileges.
It's tempting to just leave that Windows Explorer open and running so that you'll never bump into the restriction, but this opens up risks.
Any program that you start from within that copy of Windows Explorer inherits administrative privileges. If you run your mail, your browser, your word processing program or instant messaging client by double-clicking on their icon in this instance of Windows Explorer, they'll be able to do anything. And that includes any malware, such as emailed attachments, that they might "invite" onto your system. Essentially, you'll have completely subverted the security measures that the UAC puts into place.
In addition, Windows treats file ownership and security differently, depending on what user you are and whether you have full administrative privileges. In other words, the files that you create with full administrative privileges might not be accessible to you without those privileges – even though you were logged in with the same administrator-capable account.
In short, the security put into place with the UAC is there for an important reason and helps keep your machine safe from many forms of malware and exploits. Use "Run as administrator" with caution and only when you're sure that you need to use it. And even then, use it only for those things that require it. Close the program (Windows Explorer in our example above) as soon as you no longer need
the extra capabilities.

Great help thanks a million! I was PO that I could not do things on my own computer.
David Usher
Thank you. With "Administrator", can I turn off driver certificate requirements? I have BlazeDTV which works perfectly with XP, but 7 will not allow the drivers!!!
Sebastian Magnano
All of a sudden when I open e mail with attachments that I know, the email comes thru without the attachment available. Is it the sender?? or is it my email?? I use Windows mail. This started about one month ago.
Harry Torossian
I tried spybot and it would not delete 31 items saying I wasn't the administrator. Well I am. I find this very irritating .
Keith McGee
Thanks VERY much! This issue was really perplexing and I could find nothing on the MS "help" venues. Now I can run Spybot again.
Sandy Killila
I'm with Keith. I was never so disappointed as when I had to abandon SpyBot because I didn't know how to be more of an administrator than I already was. I love SpyBot and now I can…again…and be an Administrator! Wow.
Robert Byrne
Brilliant. This problem has bedevilled me ever since I installed Vista O/S. Because I am a one user one machine man I always thought I was the Administrator but I now understand why I am not and what to do when I have similar problems in future. Well done Leo
This admistrator issue gave me so many headaches!! No more from now on!!Thanks Leo!! It was a great idea to subscribe to your newsletter!!!!
Ted Ramsey
That's fine, if you Visa or 7; but what about XP? I tried what you suggested and it doesn't work that way. So what can I do because I have the same problem?The concept doesn't apply to XP. In XP if you're logged in with an account that has administrative privilegess, then you have those all the time without asking. (That's the security issue that UAC fixes.) When logged in as an administrator you can assign administrative privileges to another account: How do I get administrative privileges on Windows XP?
Edy Medor.
I, myself, was always trying to understand this issue about administrative rights and I am pretty darn sure that everyone at one time or another had to face this mind-boggling problem while using their PC. I really extol this article which really gives a good understanding of what it's all about.
Many thanks Leo!.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium and I have completely disabled UAC, those popups are annoying, even at the lower security levels, plus I had some issues with installing software (probably because of this same admin-not admin issue). I wouldn't recommend it for computer novices but I've had no problems and not one single bit of malware since I got this PC 12 months ago (I do run full security software plus a few other precautions), then again I do combine this with being careful using the internet ;o)
Leo, bless you, thank you! I learned the HARD way never to disable the UAC, but not having Administrator privileges when needing to install certain programs has been a real pain. Somehow, stumbling around, I've gotten it to do what I want, but NOW I can do it intelligently.
Thought about this for years you have opened my eyes! Thank You Leo!
Wow, I just taught this very topic to my students in Operating Systems class. Monday, I am going to share this article with them for a clear explanation! Good article!
Nikon Chick
Thanx for the info! My son built me a kick ass computer but went back to college and I kept having this problem and its so frustrating. But now I'm back to ruling my computer
Robin Clay
Thank you for the instructions. Alas! They don't work for me (running Win7)
When I right-click on the Explorer icon, and ditto on "Run as administrator", it asks in a new window, "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer, Yes or No". Click on "Yes", and… up comes yet another window, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program, or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel".
What's going on ?
Hi Leo! Here's one of your italian fan I have a problem similar to this. I have installed a videogame (excuse me if I disturb you with such a stupid problem but is really annoying). When I try to run the .exe file a window pops up saying "impossible to axcess to the dispositive, to the path or the specificated file. It is probable that you don't have the autorizations requested." (translated from italian, I hope you'll understand =) ) i tried running with UAC disabled, with the "run as administrator" option but never worked. How to do? please help me =
Angel Ryan
Leo, my computer is completely down and it too involves the Administrator password. Mine won't accept it. We can't reboot or anything. Your article taught me a lot about the term Administrator, can you expand it a little to cover computers that won't accept Administrator passwords? I am the Administrator (well you know what I mean) and I have always used the same password for years so it's not like I forgot it. It just won't accept it. Thanks so much and keep up the good work.Well, you can try reseting the administrator password: I've lost the password to my Windows Administrator account, how do I get it back?
I tried this but the program still says i need to be an administrator to run the program
venkatesh bc
i did all circus to access my control panel of windows 7 ultimate……….( if i open control panel dis operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effects on this computer. please contact administrator… and i am d administrator. plzzzzzzzz someone help me…This isn't referring to the administrator account, it's referring to whomever setup and administers your machine. This scenario is most commonly associated with malware – run up to date scans as soon as possible.
Hi Leo, I followed your instructions but this did not work for me. I ended up getting another box saying "File Access Denied". Where do I go from here Leo
I'm on Win XP. Admin account – the only one. Can not install SW – it asks for Admin rights… It used to be a part of a domain but no longer. It's connected to MSHOME network. No password and no problem logging in. Please help. Thanks very much – Ad
Trying to install a wireless USB adapter and it gives an Error #1303 -the installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: c:program filesnetgear.
There's only one account – Administrator
Thanks again.
Thanks for the article for I just had an experience where I had to do a system recovery and I wondered why the computer generated these "new" accounts. Found them when after the recovery I was cleaning up and reloading things back into users personal stuff. Click open C:, opened Users, and sat back and said "WHAAAT!?" Who are these accounts I didn't set up. I know how to access the "hidden" admin account, so I'm glad I came across this article before possibly inflicting damage. To me it's a "looks ugly, but it works" situation. It was a frustrating, long time to find an answer and you had it! I am very glad to have found your newsletter and becoming a subscriber. That deserves a Facebook "like". Thank you for doing what you do.
Makade Vassele
okay I just updated to windows 8 and im trying to activate it for sure but it says " cant activate at this time, please contract your system admin or technical support department." please help
John Gaines
When I right click on the Windows Explorer icon I get no such options. All that happens is WE opens.

November 27, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The new "Star Wars" has an official timeline and one confirmed returning character: robot R2-D2.
Director J.J. Abrams will begin shooting in May on "Star Wars: Episode VII," which is set three decades after 1983's "Return of the Jedi," Disney CEO Bob Iger said Tuesday.
Speaking at the company's annual shareholder's meeting in Portland, Ore., Iger said the movie would feature "some very familiar faces along with a trio of new, young leads." Abrams has a penchant for secrecy, and Iger said R2-D2 was the only "official cast member" he would announce.
"Episode VII" is set for release in December 2015.
Iger also said Pixar plans a third "Cars" movie and a sequel to 2004's "The Incredibles."

DEFINITION of 'Privatizing Profits And Socializing Losses '
A phrase describing how businesses and individuals can successfully benefit from any and all profits related to their line of business, but avoid losses by having those losses paid for by society. Privatizing profits and socializing losses suggests that when large losses occur for speculators or businesses, they are able to successfully lobby government for aide rather than face the consequences of said losses.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Privatizing Profits And Socializing Losses '
The biggest example of privatizing losses and socializing losses came during the TARP bailouts of 2008-2009 in which the United States government bailed out numerous banks, insurers and auto manufacturers after they had sustained huge losses in their business dealings, in some cases through unacceptable risk tasking and lack of due diligence.

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) Twice he stood on the edge of the green as his opponent stood over a putt to win, a position Tiger Woods has been in before at the Accenture Match Play Championship.
Contrary to popular belief, he is not perfect in his format.
There have been times when Woods has hit the ball sideways, when the putter has felt like a sledge hammer, and he wound up leaving earlier than he wanted. But in 33 previous matches at this fickle event, Woods has never played so well and sweat so much.
"Ten birdies and we're still playing," caddie Steve Williams said as Woods' match with Aaron Baddeley headed for the 18th.
It finally ended on the 20th hole when Woods made his 12th birdie.
The final birdie was from 13 feet, so true that instead of pumping his fist, Woods began removing his cap when the ball was a foot from falling. Maybe he was too tired to celebrate. He certainly was impressed, not only with his play, but that of Baddeley, an Australian who shot 80 in the final round of the U.S. Open the last time they played together.
"I birdied, he birdied. He birdied, I birdied," Woods said. "It was unbelievable how many birdies we made out there today."
They made 22 between them.
Their best-ball score through 18 holes would have been a 58.
Woods gave away two holes with tee shots into the high desert. Baddeley gave away one hole when he tried to whack a wedge out of a prickly pear on the par-5 fifth.
Those were the exceptions.
"It was quality shot after quality shot," Woods said. "Matches like that are fun to be part of."
This one became more enjoyable to the world's No. 1 player because of the way it ended. Woods advanced to the quarterfinals for the fifth time in nine years, and the first time since he won his second straight title in 2004 at La Costa.
Baddeley might be haunted by two putts he had for the win, one that was difficult, one that surprised him.
His 10-foot birdie attempt on the 18th hole looked simple enough, but Woods had a 12-foot birdie putt from above the hole, barely rapped it and watched it trickled 4 1/2 feet by the hole. Baddeley knew his putt would swing sharply from right-to-left, and he didn't play enough break. If he got too aggressive, it would have gone past Woods' ball.
The surprise came on the first hole, the 19th of their match.
True to form and Baddeley was in great form he launched an approach on the par 5 and said forcefully, "Be right," which it was, leaving him a 12-foot eagle putt. The Aussie didn't see any break in the putt until it veered slightly to the left and burned the edge.
After halving the hole with a birdie, Baddeley dropped his ball down and tried again. This one went straight and into the cup. Sadly, mulligans aren't allowed in match play.
"Nothing you can do, really," he said.
The reference was to the putt. It might as well have been for the entire match.
He made eight birdies in a nine-hole stretch, one that was conceded from 12 feet when Woods' tee shot plunked a marshal in the head and ricocheted into the desert, squaring the match. That still wasn't enough.
"I played great, you know?" Baddeley said. "I made him have to win it."
Next up for Woods is K.J. Choi, a 1-up winner over Paul Casey of England. Typical of this tournament, those two matches could not have been any different. While Woods and Baddeley combined for 22 birdies and had a best-ball score of 58 in regulation, Choi cooled after opening with three birdies, finishing with 11 straight pars. That was good enough to advance.
The World Golf Championship again has an American flavor. They began this week with a record-low 20 players, but there is still one American alive in each bracket.

How To Get Into Columbia
Your dorm room during that month you were a "DJ"
Ever wonder what Columbia University admissions officers are looking for in your application essay? Wonder no more!
Your dorm room during that month you were a "DJ"
Ever wonder what Columbia University admissions officers are looking for in your application essay? Wonder no more!
There's just something about porn and Ivy League libraries. First there was the camgirl in Cornell's Law Library and now Columbia's Butler Library plays host to a very NSFW art film called "Initiation." Sorry, INITIATIØN.
It's one thing to have every major campus news site allude to your selfish actions. It's another to stand up and attempt to justify yourself. And that's just what Uchechi Iteogu, C'15, did.
For the second year in a row, Iteogu used her positions of power as an RA and class VP to score nominations for Columbia's King's Crown Leadership and Excellence Award, which recognizes students with "outstanding leadership to their community/ies with exemplary commitment and energy." In an email to her RA floor last year, she asked residents to "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE nominate me for the King's Crown Leadership Award!"
Adams's Facebook post
"If there was anything Adams could learn from having a child with Down syndrome, she hasn't learned it yet."
That's the second to last line of Cristina Nehring's utterly vicious review of Columbia English professor Rachel Adams's Raising Henry: A Memoir of Motherhood, Disability, and Discovery. Merits of the book notwithstanding (I haven't read it), Nehring takes obvious pleasure in turning a cruel phrase. Nehring depicts Adams as a narcissistic, selfish mother to a son with Downs syndrome; she unfavorably compares Adams to herself, who has a daughter with Downs syndrome.
Read it for yourself, in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
After the review went up, Nehring sounded the horn: she wrote to an international Down syndrome email listserv for support in the comment section. (A commenter quotes Nehring from there: "I confess that if you felt like throwing yourself into the fray to comment, I'd be touched and grateful.") In response, Adams posted the above on her Facebook page, calling upon her friends to "please comment in my defense!"
And it was on: a comment thread of academics pseudonymously carping at one another. Read the rest of this entry »
"A tradition of drama, satire, and Columbia spirit"—that's our annual Varsity Show. At its best, it critically and cohesively ties off one year in Morningside Heights. At its worst, it delivers three hours of dull one-liners that reduce to, "Ha, ha! We go to Columbia, too!"
Broad consensus on campus is that V118—two shows ago—was the former. V119—last year's—was the latter. Read the rest of this entry »
Subject line: "Athlete Going to Columbia–Is Columbia Fun and Preppy!" Behold:
I am pretty sure that I am going to Columbia for crew next year, and I am very excited to be in NYC, but I come from a super traditional and preppy boarding school, and I actually love that lifestyle, and don't want to lose that in college. I get that Columbia is a cultural melting pot filled with incredibly smart people from all over the world, and I totally appreciate that, and that is one of the reasons I like Columbia, so I can open my horizons.
BUT… I have grown up in a preppy environment my whole life, and some of you might say that I am an elitist, but I love the tradition, the lifestyle, the community, the clothing, and the education. I want to make sure that I am still getting part of that experience that I love and have grown up around.
I don't want to be the only person dressed in hunter rainboots and a barbour wanting to go to a kegger party, and I don't want to have to deal with a bunch of intellectuals chain smoking cigarettes on the Lower steps 24/7. This is a little silly, but I also want to make sure that there are boys I can date here that share at least some of the things that are important to me…
To the author, username abullock: they're called the Low Steps. And—please—pick another school.
Columbia football is not good. Three weeks into the season, they have lost three times: to Fordham (52-7), to Monmouth (37-14), and to Princeton (53-7).
This weekend, the Lions are slated to lose to Lehigh. More of the same, right?
Wrong. This one's gonna be aired nationally, on NBC. So that'll be pretty humiliating. (Maybe not as humiliating as going on NBC for hate crime arrests and questionable tweets, but still). But, the athletic department reasons—if we must lose at home on national TV, we should at least do it with stands that aren't quite so empty as usual.
Accordingly, athletics is trying something that CU has done before, with middling success: bribing Columbia students to be, well, more normal.
To that end, Columbia is offering two $1,000 prizes: one "to the student group that brings the most students" and the other "to the most spirited student group." The administration also included a helpful tip for Columbia students unfamiliar with how sports fandom works: "bring signs and wear Columbia apparel."
We'll see how many hungover Columbia students drag out the Columbia tee they haven't worn since high school and make it up to 218th street by noon. Since we can't have a fair bet over the game: over/under 15 students for the winning group?

St. Anthony Hall is Columbia's semi-secret society for the uninteresting children of interesting—or rich—people. No surprise there. (Thomas Pynchon's son got a tap; the father of last year's president is a managing director at Goldman Sachs.) The society's membership is a secret, if a loosely kept one.

For many people, the college essay is the hardest part of their application, as they seek to define themselves in 500 words or less for a faceless committee of admissions officers. The Columbia Class of 2017, though, has given us an inside look at what exactly it takes to be part of the 6.89 percent to win entry to the school this year. A tipster recently directed us to a Google Drive folder in which newly admitted Columbians are posting their application essays for their peers to see. And, thankfully, they left it public.
Topics range from the deeply personal, to the seemingly mundane, to the blatantly ridiculous. We've included a list of some of the more notable entries below; feel free to categorize them yourself:
However, some of the essays deserve a closer examination. Here are our personal favorites:
The IvyGate award for "Most Original Essay (For Better Or Worse)" goes to a mock script of a conversation between the applicant, musical theater heavyweight Oscar Hammerstein II (Columbia Class of 1919), and composer Tom Kitt (Columbia Class of 1996). The alums lead our author on a journey of self-discovery as he finds that, yes, he should pursue his dreams and doggone it, people like him. Here are the opening lines, which subtly set the scene for the author's insecurity:
Hammerstein: Ok, kid. You've seen the school. Now what?
Noah: (HE knew this was coming) I—I really don't know…Major in Drama and
Psychology or choose something safe…Economics?
Kitt: (Bombastic as always) Oh cut the crap, why don't ya? You worked your ass off for years to get to this point, and now you finally have; if you get in, you'd have all the resources you could possibly want—
Noah: (Frantically) BUT, I don't know how to use them. I don't know how to use them or what to do with them. Musical Theater is my life; I love it more than anything else I've ever done. To be up on the stage—the songs—the emotion…but as a career?
Hammerstein: Kid, breathe. Pursue it.
Noah: But that's easier said than done! It's just so—so…
Kitt: (Like the Hindenburg, exploding) Christ! SPIT IT OUT!
Noah: …Hard. Read the rest of this entry »
Bwog has an email up from the Barnard Associate Director for Residential Life expressing her "great disappointment " that one Barnard bathroom has been closed by the school due to various cleanliness issues. Apparently the girls of Hewitt Third Floor are guilty of "improper behavior" when it comes to cleaning up after themselves, as the email details the many disgusting issues present in the bathroom.
"Over the past few months, we have seen feces smeared on toilet seats and the floor, urine on the floor, clogged and overflowing toilets, paper towels clogging the sinks, and garbage strewn around the bathroom."
How unladylike.
The best part of the email though is how the Resident Life director not so subtly accuses the perpetrators of being unbalanced and in need of serious help. They write,
"the responsible individual(s) may need the resources and support of the counseling center based on what we have witnessed in this bathroom."
This is actually the second case of Ivy League bathroom shenanigans this semester, as back in February Yale had to address the cleanliness of one of its dorm bathrooms (poop on walls, chamber pots, using the sink as a tub).

Calling john kerry! Calling john kerry! He of the (3) Purple Hearts in less than six weeks time in Vietnam. The war criminal who smeared OUR Military with accusations of "war crimes" and threw away someone else´s medals while pretending they were his. The traitor who lied in front of Congress with his "play" winter soldier? Seriously? Do they really want to talk about a "fake" military hero"? Of course, the great kerry-pretender is now S.O.S, for the most incompetent "leader" in the history of this country, so I guess there are rewards for being "fake" if you are a demonrat.

The EP-3 and crew should have been treated as ´distressed aircrew´, i.e., an emergency forced you to land somewhere and you should be accomodated and allowed to send in help to fix/fly the aircraft home, not imprisoned. I realize the Chinese would not follow that, since they helped cripple the aircraft and lost one of their fighters and its pilot. Plus it was an intelligence bonanza for them to salvage what they could from the EP-3.I hope this isn´t true; a bogus unsigned memo could say just about anything. The less said about the incident, the better. As noted, the DFC and survival of the crew should speak for itself. The aircraft itself was eventually returned to the US [in pieces, flown home via rented Russian AN-124 cargo aircraft, of all things!].

He should have ditched the aircraft. His duty was to ditch the aircraft, not give to the Chinese. He saved his life at the cost of giving the Chinese access to the sophisticated electronic gear. The Distinguished Flying Cross was given to him to mitigate the public relations disaster. He should not get to run for public office as a hero.

Mass Effect 3
Geth Turret question?
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List

- Page 1 of 2

For ranks 4, 5, and 6 is healing or damage better?
GT:XGN Caboosie
I prefer damage/flamethrower. The turret still heals when you cast it even with the damage build, and the extra shields/damage/flamethrower on the turret will help draw aggro, damage enemies and prime the occasional fire explosion.

GT: Bessy67
Nice, thank you!
GT:XGN Caboosie
I always go with the offensive Geth Turret build. Unlike Sentry Turret, the geth version has a much better AI that will consistently attack; the Flamethrower also does a better job of priming targets for fire explosions with Overload. It also has such a low cooldown that if I'm really in the need of a quick shield gate restore, I can plop the turret down right next to me and let it fill me up.
Defensive turret is still good, I just think that the offensive one synergizes extremely well with Overload.

6/6/6/5/3. You're going for full power damage, basically - the only exception is Rank 4 of Overload, where I take the Chain evolution instead of Damage. Throw down the Turret in a high-traffic area, and Overload enemies that are caught in the flames. Most of the time this should produce a fire explosion, but not always.
Three ranks of Advanced Hardware should be enough. If you use a Multicapacitator or Shield Power Cells, you can get an even shorter delay before shields recharge.
XBL GT - Sheepman2342
Thank you Mr. Watermelon and Mr. Sheep :)
GT:XGN Caboosie
I've started doing damage/heal/flamethrower for turret. The reason iavthat flamethrower does very crappy damage anyway. Losing 40% or whatever it is on such a small number just doesnt matter in the end. Flamethrower is to prime fire explosions and to distract. The middle healing rank increases the effective range as well as shields restored, so it's not a bad tradeoff.
Personally I leave overload at 5 for Neural Shock. The last rank in networked AI is important to me because I use geth plasma shotgun, and honestly I don't miss the extra shield damage all that much. GPS still reliably one shots stuff after an overload either way.
I agree above, big fan of 1 chain overload with neural shock and extra damage, helps me go against any class but yeah offensive turret is worth it since the turret will still heal. GL!

School Bus, Car Crash Sends Student to Hospital
ROCKINGHAM COUNTY - A school bus and a car crashed on Rt. 33-West on Friday morning. Twelve students were on board. One student and the driver of the car were taken to RMH with minor injuries.
The crash happened near Bridges Road just before 7:30 a.m.
All parents have been notified. According to Virginia State Police, the bus was heading to Mountain View Elementary when it was rear-ended by a car.
The school system brought in another bus to take the remaining students to school.
VSP says the driver, Jason Boggs, is charged with reckless driving.
A representative from Rockingham County Schools said the crash will not have an effect on the afternoon bus ride home.
Anonymous ABC Employee Reacts to New Requirements
HARRISONBURG, Va. -- State agencies, including the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, are making changes to the hours employees can work.
Under the Affordable Healthcare Act, employers are required to offer health insurance to employees who work 30 hours or more.
Part time workers at Virginia ABC stores are now required to work less than 29 hours.
A public affairs woman with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control said it is a pre-emptive measure in reaction to a part of the 2013 budget bill in the General Assembly.
Those classified as part time do not get health insurance and under the bill, they would not either.
An anonymous ABC part time employee is upset that hours are being cut. The source said it means hundreds of dollars each month out of paychecks.
This person shared emails from ABC officials and local store managers.
On January 31, the bulletin states it's quote certainly not good news and states managers would would discuss staffing needs and any alternatives.
On February seventh, an email states the the 29 hour cap will be a hard cap. If it's not followed, they must email a list with employees going over the time.
Public affairs employee Kathleen Shaw said hours will be cut because of what's going on the general assembly.
"We sincerely regret any financial hardships this is going to cause for some of our part time employees and that we are preparing to comply with state law," Shaw said. Shaw adds that there are plenty of dedicated workers and she knows this came up suddenly.
"Because it's a state job you think oh great you know they're backing they're going to be ok and they throw this at you and you're just like ok. You know depression kind of sets in. It's like well dang it what's the point anymore. You know if I put my time in and yet again the big man on the stick that has the money, has everything else can just go oh I don't want to give out extra money," an anonymous employee said.
ABC is hiring additional part time workers that can pick up the other hours cut from individual employees' time. That way, the stores can be adequately staffed.
Shaw said it's not directly the decision of people in the Department of Alcoholic Beverage and Control. Shaw said the number of employees and the hours are determined by the Virginia General Assembly.
Shaw said they are prepared because they say the budget being talked about in the General Assembly is likely to pass in April.

Abel Fernandez wants United Methodists to buy fair trade cocoa products. Fernandez, who is production and export manager for the National Confederation of Dominican Cocoa Producers, says that buying cocoa produced by the 9,000 small farmers who belong to the organization will improve the lives of the farmers and their communities in the Dominican Republic.
Alison Booth wants United Methodists to buy the cocoa, too – along with other fair trade products such as coffee and tea. As one of the worker-owners of the Canton, Mass.-based Equal Exchange, she has witnessed sales through the company's interfaith program increase to $1.7 million in 2002.
And June Kim, an executive with the United Methodist Committee on Relief, wants United Methodists to participate in the relief agency's coffee project with Equal Exchange because their purchases help UMCOR earn money to benefit an even larger number of small farmers.
The UMCOR Coffee Project, in collaboration with Equal Exchange, started with a "soft launch" of 250 United Methodist congregations in April 2002, according to Kim, and now has double that participation. To demonstrate how the project has expanded to include other products, she prepared an array of brownies and cakes, using the fair trade organic baking cocoa powder, and served it with cups of the fair trade cocoa, coffee and tea during an Oct. 27 informational session in New York.
Internationally-recognized fair trade standards require paying a fair price to farmers, including a guaranteed minimum when market prices are low; working directly with certified, democratically-run farming cooperatives; and encouraging ecologically sustainable farming practices. Equal Exchange, founded in 1986, uses those practices to offer consumers coffee, tea and cocoa direct from small-scale farmer cooperatives in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
The Dominican farmers group, known as CONACADO, is one of the cooperatives. A major goal of the cooperatives, Fernandez says, is to find alternative options to increase the revenues of its members. One option, for example, is helping farmers ferment their cocoa beans for use in chocolate bars. "By fermenting the beans, we get better quality," he explains.
Ten percent of CONACADO's annual crop yield goes to the fair trade market. The money earned back – around $150,000 – is reinvested in product improvements as well as dealing with community needs, such as health care and education.
"The importance of working in fair trade was demonstrated for our organization five years ago," Fernandez says, describing how the money earned from that market was used to help with the country's rehabilitation after the Dominican Republic was struck by Hurricane Georges.
United Methodists who serve cocoa, coffee or tea at church events or use the products as a fundraising project benefit the farmers both through the direct sales and the return on those sales. When church members make wholesale purchases of coffee, tea and cocoa, UMCOR receives 15 to 20 cents a package from Equal Exchange, Kim explains. That money also goes back to small farmers.
Coffee prices are competitive with other gourmet and organic coffees, according to Booth, although a bit more expensive than poorer quality commercial brands. In 2002, United Methodists bought 11,000 pounds of fair trade coffee through Equal Exchange, she says.
And they are not the only Christians participating in the program. Equal Exchange also has formal partnerships with Lutheran World Relief, the Presbyterian Church USA, the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, the American Friends Service Committee, the Church of the Brethren, the Mennonite Central Committee, and, beginning in November, with Catholic Relief Services.
More information about the UMCOR project can be found at http://gbgm-umc.org/umcor/hunger/coffee.cfm online. Informational brochures with order forms also are available through the United Methodist Board of Global Ministries Service Center by calling toll free at (800) 305-9857 and asking for stock no. 05589.

The Canadian Press
WINNIPEG The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have decided Christopher Walken was right, more cowbell is the answer.
Walken made the phrase "more cowbell" into an iconic pop-culture catchphrase with his famous Saturday Night Live skit with Will Ferrell.
But Bomber fans weren't laughing Monday after they learned the team had decided there would be no more cowbell at home games. The CFL club quickly reversed the ban after fans vented on the Internet.
"I don't understand why this team hates its fans so much," one posted on the Bomber fan forum website. "We're there in huge numbers every week, and they slap us in the face repeatedly."
Delays getting the new stadium up and running have already irritated many fans, who say the team should have acknowledged long before it did that Investors Group Field was way behind schedule.
Even the more recent tentative opening date in September has now been cast in doubt, with much of the season already planned to take place at the old Canad Inns Stadium.
The new noisemaker ban, which also included a ban on plastic water bottles brought in from outside, was just too much for some to bear.
"The thing is a cowbell was always part of the experience, whether it was my Grandpa that brought it, or the people around me that I sit with," posted a fan under the name Sir Blue and Gold.
"It was always just there. It's a small thing. I understand this, but it's something that made the experience unique, and getting rid of it for a few people who complained is infuriating."
What made it even more galling for some was the fact that they had purchased $40 cowbells at the Bomber Store. There's one retail outlet attached to Canad Ins Stadium and another at a south Winnipeg shopping mall.
The aptly named Jim Bell, the team's vice-president and chief operating officer, was forced to backtrack while the morning was still young.
"After listening to our fans, we would like to inform everyone that over-the-counter purchased cowbells will be permitted at home games this season," Bell declared as the outrage mounted.
"But homemade noisemakers such as empty paint cans with rocks inside or any other device that may be deemed unsafe by our security staff will not be permitted.
"It was never our intention to diminish the fan experience, and we do encourage fans to bring thunder sticks, clappers and plastic horns powered by human voice, however, all of which will be at the sole discretion of the football club."
That last phrase still left some fans muttering a little, but for the most part the outcry was muted.
After practice Monday, Winnipeg quarterback Buck Pierce said a noisy stadium adds to the excitement and has always been something a football team counts on for home games.
"I think it's fun for the fans, it's good for the CFL, just being loud and enjoying the atmosphere," he said.
Pierce added that the noise can impair the pivot's ability to transmit signals to players. "As an opposing quarterback, it definitely affects you. The louder places are usually the tougher places to prepare for and play."
All-star defensive back Jovon Johnson said hearing cowbells on the gridiron seems to be a uniquely Canadian experience. He doesn't remember them when he played south of the border.
"I don't really know if I've ever seen a cowbell in a game in the States. I've never seen it but it may happen."

Liberty Hotel: Clink Restaurant is a CLUNK
- s
- Secret Sommelier Sep 10, 2007 12:36 PM
Yesterday we ventured over to the Liberty Hotel...the old Suffolk County Jail...to see how things were shaking out. They have only been opened for a week. Well, we sat at the bar and ordered a bottle of Joseph Phelps, Mistral, Cab. First wine on their list. They didn't have it. Next bottle we ordered they didn't have. Third...not a charm! Anyway, finally ventured to the reserve list and ordered a Chateauneuf du Pape, Vieux Telegraph. Spent a small fortune...we then ordered our food to go along with this lovely wine. The wine is opened. We are enjoying the wine and the waiter comes over and declares the kitchen is closed. Our order cannot be fulfilled. We placed our order at 2:50 p.m. Kitchen closes at 3. If we had known the order would be rejected, we would not have ordered the wine. Anyway, after speaking with three different managers and wasting an hour on the problem, they decide to take care of the situation. What ever happened to the "customer is always right?" The wait was not worth it. The food was not very good. We went with the tapas menu. The truffle carmelized popcorn tasted like soggy, warm Cracker Jack. The macaroni and cheese was ok. The tomatoe salsa saved it. The flat bread with duck confit came out cold. The flat bread was a syrian pocket that they put grill stripes on. The cheese course we ordered could not come through the regular kitchen route as they closed the kitchen so they made us order it off the room service list. The cheese was awful and they served it with too little bread and Welch's grape jelly (wierd). Needless to say, this foodie will not be going back to jail for awhile.
Anyone else experience the prison food and attitude?
re: BillieJean
Yeah but .... the food sounds awful. And since we're all about the food here, I was confused by your quite different impression than your DC. You say wait a while to try the mediocre food again, s/he says they wont be back.
Similar thing happened to me at Z Square, I only I ordered food (a hamburger), dithered on the beer for a few minutes (like 5-10), decided on a PBR, bartender opened it and then cheerfully announced they were out of hamburgers and suggested a salad or something from that day's very limited menu instead. I left the $3 on the bar and will never go back.
I'm glad it wasn't a Chateauneuf de Pape in my case, but you could of either told them to bag the wine and gone up Charles St somewhere else (though I don't know what would be open then) or, as I probably wouldn't do but would at least entertain the idea: tell them to shove a cork in it for some other sucker and walk out. What disgraceful service. I hope things get better, your DC made it sound like a great spot.
re: sailormouth
Shows you how two different people can perceive things differently, eh? To be honest, I liked the place and the location (Ha-Buzzy's--I forgot that was there!) and really hope they get the service thing under control. The food wasn't bad, and I agree with what other people have said, to give it a few weeks. I'd probably give it one more try in the future to see if they worked the kinks out.
Clunk (sorry, "Clink") is run by the hotel, no? That usually means mediocre food.
The other restaurant in there is the Lydia Shire-run place right?
re: invinotheresverde
Actually Bordeaux blend, mostly cab.
re: Secret Sommelier
No, it's a Rhone blend, mostly syrah.
re: csammy
I thought the old noodle was going for a minute. Thanks, Sammy.
re: Secret Sommelier
it used to be much more grenache, but now is primarily syrah.
the lyons group is overseeing the club alibi, clink is run by the hotel and lydia's restaurant, scampo, is slated to open in october.
I know the restaurant has just recently opened the start of september when you went, i actually went this past Friday and absolutly loved it and had a blast! I split the short ribs with a friend, the cheese plate and split the jail-bar for desert. The ribs and jail-bar both melted in my mouth, i would go back for these two for sure. My girlfriend and i stayed in the lounge for martini's and actually longer than we had planned- i got packed, i mean ive never been at a bar with that many georgous classy men in my life! Im going back for the ribs and a man, ha!
Well said: Clink is a Clunk. Here's our story:
I was stunned to see your feature complimenting Clink restaurant. We recently attended Clink and were treated to inventively bad service. Though we had an 830pm reservation, we were not seated until 915pm. No apology was given, nor was any reason provided. Ironically, we had showed up early, so it was not as if we missed our time slot.
Even more curious was the fact that when we finally got seated, the restaurant was half empty! The wait staff was confidently aloof, almost taking pride in not being attentive.
Three of us got water but one of us didn't. Portions were small (much smaller than in your feature) and food was bland--both especially so when considering the high prices. The sommelier was weak--I am no wine snob, but they could not answer my most basic questions. Finally, the waiter never checked on us during the meal to ask how things were.
Bottom line, the unique (if noisy) interior is all you get with this place. Better bet is to have a drink at the bar in the lobby and then either enjoy a fancier dinner at the same price, or one of hundreds of better values in the city. Way too expensive for this terrible service.
re: omarlittle
First: "inventively bad service" - love that, too funny (although sorry for your bad experience).
Second: I'm a little confused, to what "feature" are you referring? Is there a link missing?
re: heathermb
My guess is they must be referring to Devra's recent review. I'm almost tempted to go to Clink just to see if it is as horrifying as everybody is saying!

Hello im new here but not to web developing...
well i have a news system made in php, it retrieves all the data from a phpbb forum in a mysql db right?
What i wanted to do was select only the first post of every forum i chose and not the other posts which are the replies...
so i tried many things, first something like:
Code MySQL:
$offset varies depending on the page you are in in the news and $newsperpage is a defined variable (it is 5) in php.
But it does show replies i think it's beacuse of the limit...
i tried this too:
Code MySQL:
But it shows them too...
and i think it is a LIMIT problem because if i remove the LIMIT and try the queries both work perfectly, without no replies.
What can i do??
i don't want to remove the LIMIT because then if i have many news it would take a looong time to load the query in each page... which would be unnecesary.
Thx in advance to you all!
P.S:i have also tried something with a DISTINCT but i wasn't sure how the SELECT * but DISTINCT topic_id so it didn't work neither... :sick:

Evolution, Revolution, or an Impossible Job?
As the financial services industry emerges from its crisis to a climate which may never be the same again, so the role of the CRO sits squarely both on the boardroom agenda and in the public spotlight.
The new risk landscape, with its plethora of different stakeholder groups and strict new national and international regulation, is incredibly complex and daunting.There is greater personal accountability for senior management; the potential remains for new problems to emerge; institutional workforces are weary of change but still expected to be financially successful. Life is certainly not dull for the average CRO, who somehow needs to make sense of it all. So, how do they need to adapt? What does the CRO of the future, who needs both to learn from the mistakes of the past and control a turbulent and uncertain future, look like? Building on traditional strengths
The CRO role is clearly not one for the faint-hearted. Financial firms' external stakeholders (governments, regulators, media, shareholders and general public) are hostile and their internal stakeholders (management and employees) remain under pressure and battle-worn. All wait hopefully for a return to 'the new normal' (whatever that looks like). Yet, it is within this uncertainty that a great opportunity lies. CROs have the ability to shape their role, grasp their increasing centrality and prove their value to the business - not just as a key figure in a crisis, but as a major player in the transition from crisis to recovery to sustainable success. Building on the greater general awareness of risk management and the willingness to embrace it to bring a greater confidence to business, is one of the greatest challenges - and opportunities - for a CRO. Whether or not the sector is in a state of evolution or revolution is open to debate. What is certain is that its future shape should depend to a greater extent than ever before on the CRO community. The combination of skills the new landscape demands of them - technical, strategic, inter-personal, entrepreneurial - may seem to make it an impossible job, but it could actually position the CRO as a future CEO. This is the CRO's time, and they should grasp the opportunity.

Answered 1 year ago
It depends upon the facts of your case, without more it is very hard to answer this question. The first thing you should do is determine whether you can file a chapter 7 or if you must file a chapter 13. As a general rule, you have to pay the mortgage in order to keep the asset. When you file a 7, it is as if you hand everything which is not exempt over to the trustee to sell and pay your creditors a pro-rata share. If you want to keep both homes chapter 7 may not be the way to go.

Belden Alley suggestions?
I'm looking for any tips on picking one of the restaurants in Belden Place/Alley. Atmosphere is a priority but really we're just looking for quality.
re: sflegs
More votes for Plouf. If you have a large party, get a few variations of the mussels.
I like B44 (Catalan). My favorite dishes include xato, mushrooms a la plancha, arros negra (most favorite), romescada, baccala amb samfaina, and rabbit. They usually have really well-selected cheap cava.
I was disappointed with the moules-frites at Plouf the last time I was there, a few months ago, but I've had great versions of that dish there so many times that I'll give them another chance.
Umbrella Web site:
44 Belden Place, San Francisco, CA 94104
40 Belden Place, San Francisco, CA 94104
re: Robert Lauriston
When I had the moules-frites last month, the frites were practically old and soggy. Moules were pretty good.
re: virtualguthrie
If you order the specials at Plouf, watch the prices, sometimes they're a lot more expensive than the moules.
I'd have to give a marginal thumbs up to Plouf. While we experienced some serious missteps during our visit, the positives were just enough to outweigh the negatives.
Because we'd had a similar dish at the Belden Taverna the prior evening, we started with the Dungeness Crab Cakes with Baby Lettuce and Sauce Gribiche ($13). While the sauce was excellent, the three crab cakes themselves were a bit dry. To make matters worse, one of them was burnt. After having superb crab cakes at the Belden Taverna the night before, we thought that the Plouf version of this dish could use some improvement.
For our entrées, we ordered the Thai Coconut Poached Butterfish with Kaffir Lime Scented Jasmine Rice and Baby Bok Choy ($24) and the Fish And Chips Served With Prawns, Garlic Aioli And Malt Vinegar ($16). The butterfish was perfectly cooked, and served with a delicate sauce that complimented entire dish. Our only suggestion would be to offer the sauce on the side, as opposed to pouring it over the fish and rice (we didn't ask for it on the side, so we don't take "points" off for that presentation). The fish and chips were very good. The "fish" part of the dish was made up of several varieties of fish (including salmon) that were deep fried. We'd never had deep fried salmon before, but it turned out to be rather tasty. The trick with all the fish was to dip it in the malt vinegar first, and then in the garlic aioli. However, the highlight of the dish was the frites. Light, crispy, and (above all) flavorsome, these frites were some of the best we've ever eaten. After devouring all of the frites on the plate, we came to the conclusion that Plouf's reputation regarding its frites is very well deserved.
Finally, we had the Plouf Apple Tarte Tatin With French Vanilla Ice-Cream And A Caramel Sauce ($8.50). It turned out that we saved the best for last. This exquisite desert had a flaky crust, a tender apple, and a caramel sauce that was heavenly. We (including our two-year-old, who though she was in paradise) devoured every scrap of it.
As for the service and ambience, it was adequate. The restaurant itself is a bit loud, and the table placement isn't exactly optimal when trying to accommodate a toddler. But, the staff was friendly, served us promptly, and made every accommodation possible to have our two-year-old seated at the table.
In the end, we enjoyed our dinner at Plouf. Even though some of the dishes could some improvement, we found that the culinary successes could better be described as triumphs. We would be open to going there again…this time to try the famous mussels. But, we think we'll try the other restaurants in the Belden Alley first.
re: rworange
I already did, with this post:
I'm just late in posting my Plouf comments.
re: charlotteowens
I have been to Sam's a handful of times and always enjoy. Question: do they accept reservations or first come first served only?
re: poulet_roti
Unless they've changed their policy, you can make reservations for dinner but not for lunch.

The EIC is a tax benefit for working people who earn lower or moderate incomes. It has several important purposes: to offset taxes, to supplement very low wages, and to provide a work incentive.
The EIC can offset some or all of the taxes workers must pay, such as payroll taxes, and can help cover any federal income tax workers may still owe at tax time. Besides offsetting taxes, workers earning lower wages may also get cash back through the EIC refund. Workers who qualify for the EIC and claim it on their federal tax return can receive a refund from the IRS even if their earnings were too small to owe income tax.
Who can get the EIC and how much is it worth?
Single or married people who worked full-time or part-time at some point in 2013 can qualify for the EIC, depending on their income.
- Workers who were raising one child in their home and had income of less than $37,870 (or $43,210 for married workers) in 2013 can get an EIC of up to $3,250.
- Workers who were raising two children in their home and had income of less than $43,038 (or $48,378 for married workers) in 2013 can get an EIC of up to $5,372.
- Workers who were raising three or more children in their home and had income of less than $46,227 (or $51,567 for married workers) in 2013 can get an EIC of up to $6,044.
- Workers who were not raising children in their home, were between ages 25 and 64 on December 31, 2013, and had income below $14,340 (or $19,680 for married workers) can get an EIC up to $487.
- Workers with investment income exceeding $3,300 in 2013 may not claim the EIC.
Who is a "Qualifying Child" for the EIC?
- Sons, daughters, stepchildren, grandchildren and adopted children
- Brothers, sisters, stepbrothers, or stepsisters — as well as descendants of such relatives
- Foster children who are placed with the worker by an authorized government or private placement agency
"Qualifying children" must live with the worker for more than half of the year. They must be under age 19, or under age 24 if they are full-time students. Children of any age who have total and permanent disabilities also may be qualifying children. Valid Social Security numbers are required for qualifying children born before December 31, 2013.
How does the EIC work?
- Eligible workers can pay less in taxes and get a check from the IRS. Mr. and Mrs. Williams have two children, ages 20 and 21, in college. They earned $32,000 in 2013 and owe the IRS an extra $200 in income tax not withheld from their pay during the year. Their income makes them eligible for an EIC of $3,449. So, the EIC eliminates their $200 income tax — now they owe the IRS nothing — and gives them a refund of $3,249.
- Eligible workers who owe no income taxes can get a check from the IRS. Marlene Rogers is raising two children and earned $10,000 in 2013. Her Social Security payroll tax was $765. She is eligible for an EIC refund of $4,000 — it pays her back the amount of her payroll tax and she gets
$3,235 in addition.
How do you get the EIC?
- Workers raising a "qualifying child" in their home in 2013 must file either Form 1040 or 1040A and must fill out and attach Schedule EIC. Workers with children cannot get the EIC if they file Form 1040EZ or do not
attach Schedule EIC. Married workers must file a joint return to get the EIC.
- Workers who were not raising a "qualifying child" in their home in 2013 can file any tax form — including the 1040EZ. These workers fill in the dollar amount of their credit on the Earned Income Credit line on the tax form. They do not file Schedule EIC.
- A correct name and Social Security number must be provided for each filer listed on the tax return and each child listed on the Schedule EIC. If this information is incorrect or missing, the IRS will delay the refund.
Workers can get FREE help filing their tax forms
Many families that claim the EIC pay someone to complete their tax forms. This can often cost between $55 and $130, or can be more. Getting a "quick tax refund" that comes back in a few days costs even more. Paying for tax preparation takes away from the value of the EIC. Lower-income workers can get free help with tax preparation through a program called VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance).
Does the EIC affect eligibility for other public benefits?
The EIC does not count as income in determining eligibility for any federally funded benefits, including cash assistance ("welfare"), Medicaid, food stamps (SNAP), SSI or public housing. EIC refunds that are saved do not count against resource limits for any federally funded program for 12 months after the refund is received.
Can immigrant workers get the EIC?
Many immigrants who are legally authorized to work can qualify for the EIC, as long as they meet the other eligibility requirements.

Highland Speedway 2013 Racing Season Announcements
After careful consideration and thought, Highland Speedway has decided to make some changes to the nightly classes that we run at the speedway for the 2013 racing season. The goal of Highland Speedway is to provide the fans and competitors exciting racing action. We all know that a low car count does not help contribute to exciting racing action. We greatly appreciate all the drivers, teams, and fans that have supported the Highland Speedway for the last 51 years. It is because of people like you we have had great racing and we are looking forward more great racing for the next 50+ years! We are excited about these changes and we are looking forward to a great 2013 racing season.
Crate Class: With the limited number of crates that have ran at Highland Speedway consistently the past 2 years we have decided to enter a partnership with TriCity Speedway to create a Crate Series and points fund to benefit our crate drivers and increase the number of competitors for this class. This Crate Series will run once a month over the same weekend at these tracks. The goal of this decision is to increase the car count in the Crate class and make for exciting competitive racing action.
This decision was not entered into lightly. We think that this is a great solution to keep the crate class running at Highland. We will also be running the Crate Class at Highland Speedway on a rotating schedule, due to the amount of local cars that have chosen to follow other traveling crate series and not run at Highland on a weekly basis, when their class was offered on a weekly basis. We are excited about this partnership and look forward to a great racing season.
Hornet Class: The Hornet class has not stayed in line with the vision that we had for this class when it was initially started. Therefore Highland Speedway will not be running a hornet class for the 2013 racing season. There are many reasons behind this decision; including that the economics of this class have gotten out of hand and the car count on this class have decreased as the costs to be competitive in this class have risen. We also pay attention to when drivers and teams make comments to track personal and on public forums that state that they will not be returning to the Highland Speedway and are taking them into consideration as well.
This class was intended to be an entry level class for people to gain experience and confidence and then move on to another class, it was never intended to be a career class. This class was intended to be an economical class, however now there are teams out there spending more and more on wraps, motors, upgrades, after market products, etc. The only thing any team should go above and beyond spending in this class is on safety equipment!
Our intentions are to bring this class back in a few years, as a stock class. The goal of this decision is to get this class back to what it was originally intended to be. Stock meaning working radio, rear tail lights, no fancy wraps, no upgrades, no after market products of any kind, etc. There will be a limit on length of time you are allowed to stay in this class. It will not be a career class. It will be what it was originally intended to be, a place for new racers to learn, gain confidence, and it will be economical.
Micros: We are excited to announce that we will be adding an Outlaw Winged Micro class to Highland Speedway for the 2013 season. This new addition will be running on a rotating schedule due to a number of teams that follow traveling series. We are excited to make this announcement and look forward to the new fans it will bring to the Highland Speedway. This class looks like it will be a good fit for Highland Speedway as it will provide exciting open wheel racing action and there are a good number of Micros already established in this area. We have met with several of the teams and they are also excited about this addition to out 2013 racing season.
Other Announcements: We have been hard at work, trying to find ways to bring everyone a better show. With that in mind we have made the following changes for the 2013 racing season. We are reducing the number of classes we run a night. As many of you know we are up against a curfew with the city of Highland. We have decided to run 5 classes a night. This will help allow us to get done racing at a reasonable hour and will allow everyone to either get home earlier or visit with drivers and teams after the races. KidzMods will be racing during intermission; this will allow us to stay on a reasonable time schedule. Race receivers are mandatory for the following classes: Late Models, Modifieds, Crates, Micros, and KidzMods. It is strongly suggested that the SportMods and Street Stocks also have race receivers. This will make for quicker, more efficient lineups and restarts. The classes and points funds that will be running at Highland Speedway are as follows: Late Models, Modifieds, SportMods, Street Stocks, Crates, Micros, and KidzMods.
Highland Speedway 2012 Season Banquet Saturday, November 10, 2012
The 2012 Highland Speedway Banquet was held on Saturday, November 10, at the Expo Building. We honored the top 10 in each division. A meal was shared first and then the awards were given out.
Championship Night - September 22, 2012
September 22, 2012 was the second championship night of the season. The Highland Bulldog, Chad Zobrist, earned his fifth UMP Becker Jewelers Late Model championship title. This ties him with Bill Faust and Dennis Sellers for taking top honors five times in the Late Model division. This is the 4th year in a row that the Highland Bulldog was Top Dog in his division. The 78 car of Zobrist took the first heat leading Mike Schulte, Frankie Martin and Dave Thornton. Second heat top dog was Matt Weidner and following him were Michael Kloos, Rick Salter, and Shannon Kuhn. Third heat winner was Adam Tischhauser, then Matt Bailey, Jason Zobrist, and Bruce Unterbrink. The dash belonged to Michael Kloos over Bailey, Weidner, and Chad Zobrist. Taking the last checkered flag in 2012 for the Late Model division was the Trenton Tornado, Michael Kloos. Order of finish after him was Chad Zobrist, Salter, Weidner, Tischhauser, Schulte, Bailey, Jason Zobrist, Kuhn, Thornton, Steve Leach, Brent Helmkamp, Kerry Gaultney, Unterbrink, Martin, Vince Grondzki, Dan Jacober, and Tim Koch DNS.
Champions Crowned In Four Highland Divisions
Champions Crowned In Four Highland Divisions
HIGHLAND IL (Sept 15, 2012) – It was Photo Billy night presented by Casey's General Stores and night one of crowning the 2012 divisional Champions at the Highland Speedway. Champions were crowned in four of the seven divisions competing at the Speedway.
Becker Jewelers Late Models
2011 Track Champion Chad Zobrist led all 25 laps of the main event this past Saturday night. Most of the race he had Matt Weidner in the 6X hanging on to the rear spoiler of Zobrist number 78. Both drivers were running the high side around the Speedway. What they didn't notice was Rick Salter in the 1S working the bottom. Salter started mid pack and stayed consistent on the bottom of the track. The laps ran out on Salter as he made his way around Weidner but ran short of catching Zobrist at the stripe, settling for second place, Weidner was third, Ryan Little was fourth and Mike Schulte rounded out the top five. Season Championships for the Becker Jewelers Late Models takes place next week.
Topless Night At The Highland Speedway
HIGHLAND IL (August 18, 2012) - The tops came off and the racing action was hot as Daum Crop Insurance of Greenville presents Topless night at the Highland Speedway. Drivers at the Speedway had the option to remove their roofs so the fans could get a better view of what's it like to drive a around the Speedway. It definitely gives a different look to the cars.
Becker Jewelers Super Late Models
Mike Schulte by winning the dash, choose the high side for the start of the 25 lap main event. Michael Kloos in the Gerstner and Son's number 6K, by being runner up in the dash was place on the proverbial pole, inside front row. The advantage Schulte hoped for by starting outside was short lived as by the time the pair rounded out of turn two Kloos was clearly in the lead.
Kloos quickly set the pace and by lap nine the leaders were in lapped traffic. At lap ten the first five were Kloos, Schulte in the 27S, Rick "The Salty Dog" Salter in his 1S, current points leader Chad Zobrist in the 78, and Matt Weidner driving the other Gerstner and Son's Car, the 6X.
