'Winter Red' is a compact cultivar of our native wetland holly , the winterberry. It is known for its abundant fruits that keep their bright red color and remain on the branches into the middle of winter. The lustrous dark green leaves fall off the shrub in autumn making its berry display all the more showy in the winter landscape. It adapts to a wide range of site conditions including wet, light, and heavy soil, full sun or partial shade. It grows best in full sun, acidic, moist soil. Winterberry can be used for a showy accent shrub, planters, hedges, water edges, buffer or medium strips, and holiday decorations. Plant about 4 feet apart for a hedge. 'Winter Red' is a female cultivar and requires a pollinator for fruit production. It is advisable to plant one male in close proximity (within 50 feet) for every 3-5 females. ' Southern Gentlemen' is the pollinator of choice for this southern type winterberry.
'Winter Red' is a deciduous, female winterberry cultivar. It is a slow growing, multi-stemmed, suckering shrub with an erect, compact, round or vase shaped form. The thick, lustrous, dark green leaves fall off the branches in the fall exposing the intense red clusters of berries. Fall leaves may turn a bronze color. With this cultivar the 3/8" size fruits are profuse and ripen in August to September. They will persist on the tree into mid-winter. The fruit is bitter and astringent, so overwintering birds will leave this fruit until other food supplies have dwindled before eating it. This is a shade tolerant plant, but grows best in full sun. It occurs naturally in swampy and poorly drained areas and adapts to a wide range of soil conditions including heavy and wet. However, it is not drought tolerant and alkaline soil will cause chlorosis. 'Winter Red' requires a late blooming pollinizer for fruit production. One male should be planted within 50 feet of every 3-5 females for a maximum fruit production. Pruning for shape should be in early spring just before the new growth appears. Winterberry cuttings are often used in holiday decorations. The cut stems will keep for months if kept in a vase without water.
Wildlife Value
The red berries stay on the shrub from early fall through winter. Over 40 species of birds are known to eat winterberry fruit. The dense branches provide shelter and nesting sites for birds.
'Winter Red' winterberry holly was introduced by Simpson Nursery Company, Vincennes, IN. Winterberry is native to North America with a range from Nova Scotia to Ontario, west to Wisconsin, south to Florida and west to Missouri. 'Winter Red' is the most popular American selection for cutting.
well drained, moist, wet soil
Alternate, simple, elliptic (oval )or obovate to oblanceolate, serrate or double serrate, 1 ½"-3' long, lustrous dark green, may turn bronze in fall
Flower Color

Bloom Time
late spring, early summer
Fruit Description
berry-like drupe, 3/8" across, bright red, often in pairs
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.

Carlsbad, CA - (October 14, 2013) - MRC GOLF, INC. introduces the Diamana W-Series shaft for woods. This is the latest product in the long-standing Diamana brand that's captured more than 100 Tour wins globally since the company established its U.S. office in 2004. It's the next generation of the very successful and popular Diamana White Board, with advances that take the original's pure feel and sheer power to another level.
Building on the original White Board's signature tip-stiff profile for better players, the Diamana W-Series has a modified and slightly stiffer butt section than the original, along with the traditional stiffer tip and mid section. This profile helps shot dispersion stay tight, with a low launch trajectory and low spin, plus a satisfying feel and feedback. Golfers of all abilities -- especially those with higher swing speeds -- can swing away confidently, knowing that their shot flight will be straighter. The Diamana W-Series will yield a more stable feel, as well. As a result, it's an ideal shaft for players seeking maximum control with low launch and spin.
An Active Low Torque Tip Section Delivers a Penetrating Ball Flight
MDI Technology and a Stiffer Tip and Butt Section but with a Smoother Feel
Mitsubishi Rayon Bassara Griffin Graphite Wood Shaft
Mitsubishi Rayon Bassara Wyvern Graphite Wood Shaft
Mitsubishi Rayon Bassara UL Graphite Hybrid Shaft
Designed for Strong Players to Provide a Flatter, Low Spin Trajectory

Community meets Brown
South Adams newly hired varsity boys basketball coach Andrew Brown met with players, parents and other interested community members Friday night during a meet and greet session at the Stardome.
Brown, who is a first-time head coach, was peppered with a few questions regarding philosophy and style of play, handling most of them to the satisfaction of the crowd.
High school principal Trent Lehman, recalling the movie Hoosiers and the town meeting in that film, got a chuckle out of the crowd when he asked, "Coach, man to man or zone?"
Brown answered, "I'm a man to man guy first, but we'll do what we have to to be successful."

Wow, it's like working in the corporate world.
Pretty funny.
(Alternate Title: Blood Mirror is not an interesting mechanic)
Offtanking BQL is one of the hardest jobs that any tank will come across at this point in WoW's development. This guide takes you through one of the many options offtanks have in dealing with the difficulty of this fight.
The key is fear ward and hypergems. As you can see, my priests did not come through for me in this attempt and I lost valuable time by having to Berserk and reposition.
Wow, it's like working in the corporate world.
Pretty funny.
"Just because it's not nice doesn't mean it's not miraculous." - T. P.
I watched it yesterday too PRICELESS !!
i'm surprised you didn't earn yourself a /gkick for not contributing your 3kdps to the raid and saving them 8 seconds on the fight.
really though, priceless.
In reality though, I was clear with everyone in the raid that I was doing this. They knew I was making a video to point out the inherent absurdity of my role in that fight (standing still and not doing anything still fulfills 90% of my job).
I can also put up 6k DPS without getting a bite thankyouverymuch. I think 8k is my personal record (something like top 25 on world of logs for bears) though I had to bribe one of my DPS to bite me in the 3rd round (still trying to get someone to make me the second vamp but haven't been able to convince them yet). Basically, anything to make an easy farm fight more interesting...
Hard stuff man..teach me!
Rofl. Brilliant!
lol, that's pretty funny!
nice multitasking!

Tanji Johnson Wins Fitness International!
Tenth time Is the charm for Tanji Johnson at 2013 Fitness International!
By Bill Geiger; lead image by Samantha Owens
In her 10th try, Seattle's Tanji Johnson finally scored the big win, taking the 2012 Fitness International title on March 1 at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Columbus, OH. Her athletic and acrobatic moves were simply too overpowering as Johnson nailed a perfect score and the $25,000 first-place check. Russia's Oksana Grishina, a crowd favorite who might as well be cast in a Cirque du Soleil role, took second and the $13,000 prize. Rounding out the top five were New Jersey's Bethany Cisternino in third, Texas' Trish (and wife of Branch) Warren in fourth, and Brazilian native Regiane DaSilva, who now lives in Germany, took fifth.

MORE

Oct. 20, 2014
Steven Rattner Op-Ed article criticizes meritless litigation brought against government entities like that of Maurice R Greenberg, former chief executive of American International Group, over terms of its 2008 financial bailout; contends government is on a strong legal and moral ground to deny these opportunists the undeserved windfall they are after. MORE
Oct. 5, 2014

MORE
Sep. 29, 2014
Editorial by Noam Scheiber, senior editor at The New Republic, examines case of Starr International Co Inc v United States, challenging government's 2008 bailout of AIG on constitutional grounds; argues that while case is far-fetched on its merits, it could serve to heal the long-festering wound of controversy surrounding sweetheart deal that banks like Goldman Sachs received during bailout. MORE
Aug. 24, 2014
Gretchen Morgenson Fair Game column observes that Angelo R Mozilo, co-founder and former chief executive of Countrywide Financial, may soon face civil lawsuit from the Justice Department; notes that possibility of new case comes seven years after beginning of subprime mortgage crisis that he had a significant hand in creating, and for which he eluded prosecution. MORE
Aug. 23, 2014
Joe Nocera Op-Ed column asserts that the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s offered lessons that could have helped people avoid 2008 financial crisis; points out Justice Department prosecutions in wake of crisis have been mostly small-time stuff. MORE
Aug. 21, 2014
The company's financial burden for the settlement may not exceed $12 billion — certainly a large amount, but one significantly less than the number the government trumpets. MORE
Jun. 29, 2014
Subprime mortgages, which gained notoriety as prime cause of 2008 financial crisis, are re-emerging as answer to tight lending standards that have shut out millions of would-be homeowners; new subprime mortgages, which carry higher interest rates than conventional loans, are subject to far greater controls than those issued in early 2000s; shift indicates return of such mortgages to their original function--providing loans to borrowers with poor credit scores at a financial premium. MORE

MORE

The Upshot; book House of Debt by economics professors Atif Mian and Amir Sufi, argues that government could have prevented the worst of the Great Recession by focusing on homeowner debt rather than preserving the banking system; claims that failure to address excessive household debt is still hobbling the recovery. MORE
May. 4, 2014
Fact that Kareem Serageldin, former executive at Credit Suisse, was the only Wall Street executive sent to jail for his part in the financial crisis reflects many of the paradoxes that led to the 2008 crisis in the first place; part of the reason Justice Dept failed to secure convictions is that a series of corporate prosecutorial fiascoes led to critical changes in how it approached white-collar crime. MORE
Apr. 27, 2014
Gretchen Morgenson Fair Game column highlights book A Fighting Chance, new memoir from consumer advocate and Massachusetts Sen Elizabeth Warren; notes that book lays bare Washington's preferential treatment of Wall Street following the financial crisis. MORE

MORE
Nov. 21, 2013
Editorial contends $13 billion settlement with JPMorgan Chase over allegation of misrepresentation in sale of mortgage securities is a likely precursor of similar payouts from other banks; holds while it fails to hold individuals accountable, at least it provides some cash for investors and a measure of relief for struggling homeowners and communities. MORE
Nov. 15, 2013
Floyd Norris High & Low finance column evaluates claim by Bear Stearns hedge fund manager that firm could not be held responsible for collapse of mortgage-backed securities during financial crisis, arguing that blame cannot be put entirely on agencies that gave securities investment-grade ratings; argues that such firms, at minimum, should volunteer to return management fees to the investors they served so badly. MORE
Oct. 30, 2013
A onetime engineer who earned his law degree at night has been behind the government's campaign to punish Wall Street for the financial crisis. MORE
Oct. 27, 2013
Gretchen Morgenson Fair Game column holds that Justice Department's possible $13 billion settlement with JPMorgan Chase offers a teaching moment--about the role banks played in the financial crisis, and risks that remain in the financial system; points out that because the proposed deal covers not only JPMorgan but defunct Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, it helps recall how comprehensively corrupt the mortgage machinery was. MORE
Oct. 26, 2013
Editorial contends government's attempt to hold banks accountable for mortgage practices may finally be paying off; cites $5.1 settlement agreement by JPMorgan Chase and finding by federal jury that Bank of America is liable for mortgage fraud; cautions developments have come late in game and will do little to help millions of homeowners who have yet to recover.

MORE
Sep. 6, 2013
Floyd Norris High & Low Finance column holds that bank bailouts were necessary in 2008 to keep the financial system operating, but it is now more important than ever to distinguish why that was important; suggests that JPMorgan Chase's long list of legal problems since then contain examples of bad things that can stem from activities outside traditional commercial banking. MORE

MORE

Jan. 13, 2012

Product Description:


text:
1. You may recall that in March someone complained about Hegarty inaccuracies, specifically that Hanora Hegarty (b. 1878, Cork City) had not married but had instead perished in the Titanic disaster. However, that unfortunate Nora is a different person who was born in 1894 and lived in Whitechurch, not Cork City. So that's one question settled.
2. A new question arises about Ellen Cronin (b. 1852) who married Michael Hegarty. I have very solid evidence for her place in my tree: family narratives, her marriage registration, and baptism records for her children. However, someone on Ancestry.com has contacted me to inquire because they have the same woman married to an Ahearn in the same parish, complete with marriage record and baptism records for the subsequent Ahearn kids. It's not a second marriage because my Ellen Cronin is still having little Hegartys after the Ahearn/Cronin marriage date. So, it seems that there were two Ellen Cronins with fathers named Cornelius living in the same parish at the same time. Right now I don't have enough information to resolve the question so I am just placing a big question mark here for now.
3. Also in the Hegarty tree is Julia Foster (1898-1977) who married William Libby. They are listed in the 1930 census in Dedham, Massachusetts, but I didn't know anything more about William Libby. Well, the "hints" function on Ancestry.com pointed me at the 1920 census too, where they are listed as the family of William Lebowitz. William shows up with his Hungarian parents in the 1900 census in Utica, NY as Wolf Leborvitch. So that's why there weren't any Libbys showing up; "melting pot" name changes.

On the desktop I use a static list to add urls I want to save to read later. What ild like is this ability on the iPhone. So say I have a page open in mobile safari, and want to add it to my web list. ATM I'm sending the link as an email, and having to add URL: and l: web.
What would be muchbetter is a bookmarklet that does this either in safari or as a link that the native app is set to handle, eg rmilk://www.google.com. It's response being to add a new task withthe URL (and if possible name) entries prepopulated.
Is this already possible?

2:20 p.m.
"Home, James." It's time to leave New York but it's not the end of the day for many Indianapolis 500 competitors.
The regional jet is scheduled to land at 4:30, which leaves just enough time for a shower and change of clothing for sponsor dinners, media obligations and – for the fortunate ones — dinner with family and friends.
It's been a whirlwind tour of 33 drivers, 3 cities in 36 hours. And though everyone is fatigued, there's unanimous sentiment that it was a hit and definitely broke up the focus on the racetrack and the Indianapolis 500.
"Ready to do it again next year," Justin Wilson says.
1:40 p.m.
"I saw a lot of press, a lot of energy, a lot of excitement today where the IZOD IndyCar Series came in and was able to take over a big piece of New York and make a big image," says Indy Racing League CEO Randy Bernard, who is attending his first Indy 500 promotional event on Herald Square. "Anytime you're able to do that it's great for your sport. IZOD, American Honda and the IZOD IndyCar staff should be cogratulated because they really worked hard on this."
That's about all Bernard can fit in before being whisked away to interviews at Fox Business.
1:22 p.m.
Only in NYC can a gaggle of race car drivers in multi-colored and multi-logoed firesuits stoll down Broadway and — aside from cell phone photos and some 'Good luck' shouts — not really stop sidewalk traffic.
Mike Conway pauses to grab a photo of Conway Herald Square, featuring women's apparel for $10 and under in its windows. "Another one of my stores," the Brit says. Nice to see he's expanding the portfolio beyond auto racing.
1:10 p.m.
Patrons of Macy's flagship store on Herald Square patiently (well, some anyway) wait to have their photo snapped in the same frame as Danica Patrick, Helio Castroneves and/or Mario Andretti and get their autographs. It's a good time to snap up IZOD wear, featuring the new Indianapolis 500 heritage series. The yellow 1911 Marmon Wasp T-shirt is my favorite.
"This is the sixth year we've come to New York for this day before the '500′ and it gets bigger each year," says Castroneves, the pole sitter who is seeking his fourth victory. "IZOD knows how to do it big."
It's on to a media luncheon for all the drivers. Try the veal.
12:45 p..m.
"OK, guys — and gals – look left, now right, now throw your hat into the crowd," the instructions of Brian Gordon of Phillips-Van Heusen boom over the public-address system during a media/fan/passersby photo-video op and autograph session on Herald Square in New York.
Broadway between 35th and 34th is closed to vehicular traffic. "It's not the Thanksgiving Day parade is it?" a shopper wearing a "I love NY" T-shirt says.
With 33 Honda Crosstours (nice vehicle byt the way) lined up in 11 rows of three on Broadway, the starting lineup for the Indianapolis 500 poke out of the sunroofs for the media event as hundreds of spectators anxiously await an IZOD IndyCar Series hat tossed in their direction or an autograph of their favorite drivers.
Fronting the field is Mario Andretti and the two-seat IndyCar that will lead the procession of race cars in "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" May 30. The passenger in "The Fastest Seat in Sports" will be award-winning producer/actor Mark Wahlberg.
10:33 a.m.
Mario Moraes emerges from the cockpit of NIRL and aplogizes for the landing at Newark International. "I tried my best," he says with a smile from behind aviator sunglasses.
In best pilot voice: On the right side of the aircraft you'll see the new Meadowlands Stadium, home of the New York Giants and New York Jets.
Next stop: Herald Square and the event at Macy's flagship store.
6:55 a.m. Tuesday
Did you "Wake Up with Al Roker"? Sarah Fisher did as the team owner/driver was on the Weather Channel set bright and early. The forecast for the Indy 500 is a mid-afternoon high of 80 with plenty of sunshine. Thanks Al and Sarah.
Speaking of warm temps, the 90 degrees that blew through Indianapolis over the weekend has worked its way to New England. It will be a steamy one today in Boston and New York, where the field is headed soon for the Herald Square event.
Also, an addendum to the Robin Roberts note from Monday morning (below), her interview with Danica Patrick will air Saturday on "Good Morning America." Roberts is the Pace Car driver for the '500.'
11:10 p.m. Monday
Paparazzi fill the media "bullpen" and spectators clamor for the attention of drivers and celebs who walk the red carpet to the IZOD "Race to the Party" event at Rumors nightclub on Warrenton Street in Boston (this is all between 8:45-9:15). All pose for photos with the ubiquitous "IZOD Girl," whose name BTW is Carmen, and many are sidetracked for interviews.
"Quite a hopping place for a Monday," says Rafa Matos. "It is Monday, isn't it?" Yes, everyone is a little spent after the non-stop day. Before departing to take in the Celtics home playoff game — they fail to sweep the Orlando Magic — 1969 Indy 500 champion Mario Andretti poses with actor/producer Mark Wahlberg on an IZOD logoed two-seat IndyCar. "Hey, you guys coming?" says pole sitter Helio Castroneves, holding open the door of the limo, "we're going to be late."
It is getting late, but while some drivers depart for their cells (hmm, 40ish Davey Hamilton and John Andretti are noticeably among the first to leave the pounding music of the club) others chill on a white leather couch and chat, take photos of each other in groups and E.J. Viso and Danica Patrick share iPhone apps. They compete on the same racetracks, but they rarely get to spend much time together socially. For some on this rare night off (after the '500′ on Sunday the series swings to Texas Motor Speedway four days later), another stop is Beantown is likely in order.
"I had a stressful weekend so it's nice to have a party to relax," Tony Kanaan says.
Also enjoying the atmosphere is Micky Ward, a retired pro boxer whose life will be portrayed by Wahlberg in an upcoming feature film. "Mark is a perfectionist, so I expect the movie to be great," he says. "He's been hitting the gym hard and looks great."
It's wheels up at 9 a.m. for Newark, N.J., and the bus to 36th Street, where the Indy 500 starters will drive IZOD-logoed Hondas a few blocks to Herald Square for media photos/video, an autograph session with fans along Broadway and a media luncheon at Gotham Hall.
5:30 p.m.
Weary drivers slide off the bus from the short (well, by distance anyway; it's rush hour in Boston) trip from Bedford (Mass.) airport and enter the Liberty Hotel — which was a former prison. The hotel's main restaurant is appropriately named The Clink. Lots of exposed brick and beams, but fortunately no cots in the cells, er, rooms.
The front-row starters — Helio Castroneves, Will Power and Dario Franchitti — arrive before the rest, having hitched a ride on a helicopter from ESPN in Bristol, Conn., after being guests on SportsCenter. "Beautiful countryside to fly over," says Franchitti, a licensed helicopter pilot.
A quick shower and change and it's off to dinner with GQ execs, actor/producer Mark Wahlberg (some say the Boston native "owns" the city but he hasn't produced the deed) and local sports celebs. Cam Neely lightly(?) punches my arm as a way to say hello on the elevator. I'm sure some of his checks during his All-Star career with the Bruins were devastating.
The menu is better than your typical prison food (not that I would know).
4:20 p.m.
At Bradley International Airport in Hartford, Conn., the '500′ rookie qualifiers load onto the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp.'s G4 for the flight back to Indy. They have the Fastest Rookie Luncheon (Mario Romancini) sponsored by the American Dairy Association of Indiana on Tuesday morning.
3:00 p.m.
"I think I'm going to glow tonight," Dario Franchitti says as the bus pulls up to the farm that grows satellites on the sprawling ESPN campus.
Are they really for broadcast purposes or to listen for extraterrestrial contact? Fronting the massive structures and an IZOD IndyCar Series backdrop, the 33 starters hang in the mid-afternoon sun for photos and video and to say "hello" to ABC affiliate presidents and general managers gathered in New York for meetings.
For the 46th consecutive year, ABC is broadcasting the Indianapolis 500 (noon ET May 30).
Next up are more interviews (Scott Dixon, Ryan Briscoe and Will Power to Studio E for SportsCenter Australia please), and interspersed are autograph sessions for ESPN employees and their families. IndyCar simulators are nearby, which draw a crowd. "Don't hit the wall E.J. Viso encourages a participant. "I did and it hurts."
On the short walk to the bus — and brief interlude with Hannah Storm and Linda Cohen — a tape editor thanks the large group for visiting on what otherwise would be a day off. "It's something we'll talk about for a long time," he says.
Soon it's off to Boston and a GQ dinner hosted by actor/producer Mark Wahlberg with Boston sports celebs past and present (Bobby Orr, Dwight Freeney, etc.). Later there's a red-carpet event at a downtown nightclub.
1:50 p.m.
Robin Roberts is taping an Indianapolis 500 promo on the ESPN campus. She has a more vested interest than past year; the "Good Morning America" host is the Pace Car driver.
"(Johnny Rutherford) is a great instructor and he really calmed my nerves," says Roberts, who got behind the wheel of the Chevy Camaro for the first time last month. "Now I'm ready to go. It's the greatest spectacle in the world and to be a part of it is amazing.
"I'm looking over at Helio (Castroneves) because he reminded me that the first time he won (2001) there was a woman Pace Car driver (Elaine Irwin Mellencamp). He feels I may be good luck to win his fourth. If there is a 34-car field this year, I'll be in the back."
1:20 p.m.
Alex Tagliani shakes his head when asked about his beloved Montreal Canadiens, who face playoff elimination. "I was talking about it with the boys (at FAZZT Race Team) yesterday about it, and I don't understand how can they beat Washington and Pittsburgh — two strong teams — and then struggle against Philadelphia," he says. "Once they beat Pittsburgh, I was dancing because I thought they'd be going to the Stanley Cup finals. It's frustrating for a fan."
12:55 p.m.
And we're back for a lunch break at ESPN headquarters. The field just finished a studio taping for First Take and SportsCenter … they nailed "We are the starting grid for the 2010 Indianapolis 500 and you're watching SportsCenter" on the third take. The first take was a tad too soft ("What, are we in church?" the director says). The second was OK, but not quite. The third: "Home run!" the director says.
After a brief lunch break is off to the farm where the grow satellites.
11:10 a.m.
Danica Patrick is live on SportsCenter in Studio F.
10:50 a.m.
Mike Golic wants to know if his mug will be added to the Borg-Warner Trophy after claiming victory (with partner Danica Patrick) in a tire change competition at ESPN headquarters. "We won; I should receive the rewards," the co-host of "Mike & Mike in the Morning" says.
"Pit stops are a team effort," says Patrick, who joined Dan Wheldon and show co-host Mike Greenberg for the segment that closed the weekday show (on radio and ESPN2). "You have to hit your marks, and if they're one second off you lose about 100 yards."
Chimes in Greenberg: "Golic couldn't run the length of a football field in 12 seconds so he'd be left way behind."
Simultaneously, Graham Rahal, Sarah Fisher and Alex Tagliani are being interviewed for SportsCenter.com; Tony Kanaan and Marco Andretti are doing shoots for the ABC broadcast of the Indianapolis 500; Scott Dixon, Darrio Franchitti, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Will Power are taping a segment for Game Night Radio; and Helio Castroneves is taping a piece for Page 2.
It's a packed day at the campus.
9:18 a.m.
The field of satellite dishes is a landmark for air travelers, screaming "Welcome to Bristol, Conn., home of ESPN." It's on to lane in Hartford, which whispers "Welcome to the home of First and Last Tavern, the Mark Twain home and, well, that's about it. Have a nice day."
7:45 a.m.
Graham Rahal occupies his time in the air by sorting images and playing games on his iPad. A half-dozen rows back, Helio Castroneves snaps photos on his phone of unsuspecting (dozing, eating, movie-watching) compatriots that are destined for Twitter.
Handlers go over details of the ESPN itinerary of interviews, tours and employee autograph sessions at the sprawling campus – plus what's in store for the evening (a dinner hosted by GQ with Boston sports celebs and a party at Rumors). There's a rumor that some '500' participants will head straight to the bus for the 7:30 a.m. Tuesday departure for NYC. Hey, it is their only free night for a week and all – save for Sebastian Saavedra – are of legal age.
Thirty-three drivers, three cities, 36 hours. This May 24-25 IZOD IndyCar Series whirlwind field trip to ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn., Boston and New York is unprecedented for the starters in the Indianapolis 500, and mixes some fun and business.
"Oh, I always enjoy the trip to New York," says pole sitter Helio Castroneves, "and now they've expanded it so it's all good."
All good, and packed with public, media and personal appearances — capped by the second bash in front of Macy's flagship store on Herald Square in New York (11 a.m. for photos and autographs on Broadway if you're in the vicinity).
6:32 a.m.
The sun broke the horizon, the fog rolled out and the drivers who will start the Indianapolis 500 rolled in — coffee cups in hand — for the first leg of the journey. Pockets swapped stories of the wild weekend of qualifying and the great crowds at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"It's a fun day, just because we are exposed to a lot of media. Even though I'm an old guy (47) and it's early, I enjoy this," Davey Hamilton said. "I have to say, this year with IZOD stepping up and taking us to ESPN, the GQ party, New York, I think it's even better."
Next stop, the media blitz at ESPN.

There's no doubt that these strange formations can be "faked," but the evidence has trouble supporting the contention that they are all manmade.
In the 1980s, a series of strange formations started showing up in the farms of southern England. "Crop circles"--uniformly flattened patterns in fields---attracted the attention of the Queen, Prince Charles, Margaret Thatcher, and even Led Zeppelin! Paranormalists speculated that they were evidence of UFO landings or occult activity. Then, in 1991, two men came forward to say it was all a hoax, that they had invented crop circles back in the `70s. One even demonstrated his technique for TV cameras.
But, as the CROP CIRCLE CONTROVERSY shows, this revelation did not end the speculation. For one, there are documented incidents of the circles showing up in fields all over the world--some simultaneously in different countries. For another, the circles have appeared throughout history: in the Middle Ages they were called "witches' circles" or "pixie circles" and a 1678 circle is pictured in a woodcut known as the "Mowing Devil."
Today, it is widely accepted that many formations are manmade. But others resist attempts to explain them by conventional means. Crop circles remain, in large part, a mystery.
