We're always on the look out for great book storage, and this is one of the more creative pieces that still remains functional by an Italian artist. Marica Vizzuso created this tower-slash-folding screen piece that serves multiple purposes depending on your need.
In one aspect, the 'B-OK' furniture is a cubic tower situated on feet that holds books perfectly in slots to create an interesting geometric pattern filled with your favorite titles. When you're not really in the mood for a rectilinear tower piece, the 'B-OK' unfolds into a standing screen of sorts that still harvests the same slots for your reading material to be placed. Either way this creative work is a win-win.

One of these days Alice— when you're dead— Bang, zoom! To the moon!
Have you ever threatened to send someone to the moon, Honeymooners style? Or maybe you have a loved one who really wants to go to the moon. Now you can send a your favorite (or least favorite) deceased relations to to the moon after their death with a company called Celestis, Inc. The company already sends cremated remains into space, but announced recently that it will start sending small capsules of ashes to the moon with robotic lunar landers. The cost for a battery-sized tube of ashes will start around $10,000. It's expensive, but not a lot costlier than turning your favorite relative into a Life Gem. And if you're really flush, there's no reason you won't have enough ashes to do both! There may even be some extra ashes to turn into printer ink.
All these exotic destinations for remains sound a little, well, loony to me. But we bet there are enough people out there interested in populating the moon with their ashes that Celestis, Inc. will be making some serious money very soon with its sinister lunar missions.

I am a
We come from many backgrounds. We hold many different views. But PROTECT members are united by one unshakeable belief: our most sacred obligation is the protection of children. Maybe you understand the pain of child abuse personally. Or perhaps you are driven by that deep sense of pride that comes from being a Protector. If you're one of us--if you are ready to fight in "the only holy war worthy of the name"--join us. There's so much you can do.
An Elite National Corps For Child Rescue.
They fought to protect our nation. Now tens of thousands of wounded veterans are returning home to face not only a difficult career crossroads, but also the loss of mission and comradery that once propelled their lives.
Meanwhile, across America, hundreds of thousands of children desperately wait for a hero of their own.They are victims of sexual abuse and exploitation. Thanks to emerging technologies, law enforcement can now locate these children and bring them to safety. Yet, most wait for a rescue that will never come. There are not enough resources to save them.
The H.E.R.O. Corps program will put a new generation of warriors on the most important battlefield of their lives.
The Weiss Center
For Child Rescue & Protection Technology
Driving 21st Century Solutions To Protect Children
We live in an age when technology is rapidly advancing toward solutions to many of our greatest human problems, from famine and disease to energy and environmental protection. Yet, our first and most sacred priority as a species, the protection of children, is being left behind.
The potential of technology to advance the protection of children has never been greater, and grows more promising each day.
The Weiss Center for Child Rescue Technology will be a beacon of hope, innovation and national will in our fight to make child protection a 21st century priority.
Shining The Bright Sunlight Of Accountability
You can't reform and improve our child protection and justice systems without accountability. And there can be no accountability without transparency.
America's social service and court systems are entrenched bureaucracies that can grind down even the toughest adult. How well do they protect children? Who is doing the best job ... and who is failing?
The Sunlight and Accountability program is creating and driving innovative strategies, shining the bright sunlight of accountability in ways designed to keenly motivate our public servants to do better protecting America's children.
OUR LEGISLATIVE Campaigns
America's Pro-Child, Anti-Crime Lobby
When Americans have a special interest they are serious about, they spare no expense to defend it. Special interests spend millions of dollars every day lobbying in Washington.
But there have never been deep pockets sending lobbyists to defend the most important "special interest" of all: abused and exploited children.
That's why PROTECT was created. Since 2003 we've been on the front lines in state legislatures and in Washington, fighting aggressively for the protection of children.
We're conservatives and liberals united. We don't play charity softball. We play political hardball, because the stakes could not be higher. And we win.
Support Our Work
Giving is Quick and Easy!
To protect our own independence, we don't take government funding. Our work depends 100% on people like you! You can make a secure, tax-deductible donation to the National Association to Protect Children to support the programs shown on this site, here:
Or make a secure donation to PROTECT, so that we can continue fighting for stronger laws and more resources for child protection:

Waterford father dies after shoveling snow Friday
A 60-year-old father died Friday morning after shoveling snow.
First responders say Thomas F. McAvoy was found laying in his driveway, in cardiac arrest after shoveling snow on Friday, February 8th.
The call for emergency help came into dispatch around 9 a.m.
Watch: Macomb County residents recovering following snowfall
The Oakland County Medical Examiner's office says the man died at Huron Valley Hospital.
McAvoy's son told Local -4 his dad was in great shape. He said his father worked out, and worked 60 hours a week.
McAvoy had shoveled his girlfriend's driveway then set out to clear his own, before he collapsed on Quail Ridge Court
His 12-year-old daughter was home at the time it happened as school was canceled.
According to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, shoveling heavy snow for just 10 minutes is the same as running on a treadmill until exhausted.

Yesterday, The Frisky's Official Celine Dion Fan Winona posted an awesome Celine look, and reader bettyb said she was craving Celine's shoes. We feel you. But! Since Celine is, well, Celine we figure her shoes are pretty unaffordable. If we had to guess, we'd say she's wearing either a pair of $450 Burberry pumps or a $557 pair of Guccis . But who has the cash for that? After the jump, we give you the whole look — including Celine's to-die-for Jil Sander coat — for way less.

Pecha Kutcha 13 Presenters:
Jeff Knapp:
Professor of Humanities at Florida State College at Jacksonville
Kristina Cancelmi
Graphic Designer and recent Flagler alum
Surfer – currently lives in St. Augustine
Elton Rivas
co-founder of Zero Confines, LLC – a company that helps others launch products, initiatives, brands, etc. with offices in Jacksonville, FL, Silicon Valley, and Washington DC.
Jack Twatchtman (aka Jack Diablo)
Blogger and social media expert for Burro Bags Has also written articles for EU Jacksonville
Doug Coleman
Helped found the Riverside Arts Market, Created the RAM Art Gallery
So I'm going to be hosting PK 13 and to get to know the presenters a little better, I sent each of them some questions.
So far, I've gotten responses from -
- Kristina Cancelmi (@kcancelmi), a graphic designer / illustrator, with website: www.cargocollective.com/savvycurio
- Andrew Fallon & Becka Jo Lee (@andrewfallon), Awesomers, with website: www.tigerlilymedia.com
- Jeff Knapp, Professor of Humanities, FSCJ
Here are my questions and some of their responses; sounds like the makings of an interesting evening.
1. Have you attended or done a Pecha Kutcha before?
Andrew & Becka Jo – Attended and participated. It was fun.
Kristina – I have attended one ; I initially thought it was very intimidating (to have to speak in front of a lot of people), but also a great way to "introduce" one's self to the creative community. Staying linked with others and networking is a great way to keep meeting more people (which I love).
2. Why should someone come check out PK?
Jeff – Drinks, food, and creative people who'll teach you new things. What could be better?
Andrew & Becka Jo – Something different, something new, and you get to interact with real people.
3. What resources might you suggest for someone looking to participate in the event to help them prepare?
Jeff – First, attend some events, and I would highly suggest going to the Pecha Kucha organization's website. I did a lot of web research prior to even attending my first one.
Kristina – Well, I am still honestly figuring it out as well! But I looked online for past Pecha Kucha events, both local and international, and took notes on others presentations.
4. What do you plan to speak about for your Pecha Kutcha performance?
Kristina – I would like to speak about my roots, and how I have been influenced throughout my years as a creative. Influences, passions and experiences to name a few highlights.
Jeff – My presentation's working title is "Misadventures in Travel." For about eight years I was involved with and then directed the Humanities Study Abroad program at Tallahassee Community College, and have done a fair bit of independent travel as well.

While this sounds rather advanced, with a little knowledge, a few standard tools to access the engine, and a TBS tool (Throttle Body Synchronization); the maintenance item really isn't that hard.
Now you can buy a tool or build a TBS tool using fluids and tubes (there are examples of this out there on the interwebs), but I wanted to use an Arduino and some electronics to build my own to do the job. This instructable describes my journey in making my own Arduino Throttle Body Synchronization shield.
Step 1: Research
There are many vacuum sensors available from your favorite electronics parts stores. The interesting range that I need to measure is around -33 kPa (-4.78 psi). This is the value that should be measured on my motorcycle on a single cylinder when the engine is warm and at idle. You should consult a service manual for the specifics for your engine. So I picked one that measured a range between 0 kPa to -50 kPa.
Then I needed to understand how to connect this to my engine. The service manual helps here also, but I also found many great write ups on the web. I just needed some standard engine vacuum hose with an inner diameter of 1/8th inch which will push onto a service nipple already present on the throttle body. This same hose will directly push onto the vacuum sensor. I found this in bulk at my local automotive store. I needed four hoses each with at least 3 feet length so I could put the Arduino and sensors in a safe place.
Look for an update to the article in next day or so, I will include the part number for the sensor and few other requests.
I am planning on having a follow-up Instructable that will include more of the software side of this project with explanations; where more of the code will be shared.
Hi, Makuna,
Could you please share the PCB designs?
Hi there, I like your approach to an alternative for mercury/cylinder/fluid vacuum gauges.
I admit I'm a bit lazy for writing the code ; any chance sharing the software. I already ordered the sensors and an arduino board (Have a raspberry PI + did some jobs with 8 bit PICS and atmel mcu's) and the PCB creation is no issue at all.
I would like to get a copy of the eagle cad files with the Vacuum sensor libraries if it possible. Does anyone have one they would like to share. I've been trying to find and import the vacuum components but cant find them anywhere. I'll admit defeat !
Please help! I bought the sensors from Digikey and would like to get my PC board fabricated soon but cant get the Eagle Cad figured out. That's an entire new project for me. Thank you, joe at Joegeek
a very elegant solution to reading each cylinder's vacuum. well done
That is very impressive. Awesome Job.
I want to build one of these for my 2 cylinder BMW to help balance the throttle bodies on it for smoother operation. I look forward to you sharing your source code for both the Arduino and the PC.
Very nice build.
Just a suggestion for future, what about using 4 rows of ~20 Led's. It will take some multiplexing but judging by your workmanship, you should have no trouble making this into a very portable unit!
Thanks for sharing.
I looked into using a smart phone but the investment of time wasn't worth it yet. If I got some investment money that will change.
The biggest issue with using a smart phone is which one? Andriod? iPhone? WP7? There is no one dev enviroment that works for all of them. Then how easy is to use serial bluetooth protocols (sometimes it just not exposed for app developers). Only Android supports USB to an Arduino so even a direct connect to a phone has limits (I don't own an Android phone either, or the custom Andruino to make this work).
Too bad there isn't a cheap "audio plug communications" kit out there. (see credit card readers for iPhone as an example).
Bluetooth and WiFi will require more hardware on the Arduino raising the cost.
No easy answers.
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I looked into this and concluded it wasn't a good idea to mount it permanently. It is a pretty tight space under the gas tank where this is at and it gets pretty hot. There is a form fitting heat shield just above this area to protect the fuel tank and reflect heat. The servos would need to be real tiny and heat resistant. But the real issue is that the adjustments just don't get out of calibration very quickly to need it.
But I was thinking that if I could temporarily mount the servos, I could just hit a button and the computer would adjust everything for me. But it is very hard to even get the servos in place due to all the tubes for the inner cylinder adjustments.
It is basically some serial communications protocol on top of the .NET serial interfaces; some pretty standard WPF UI, and a little averaging of the values for the red line in the graph.

Watching, hearing hens is good for the soul

I have a confession to make. It's about my chickens.
I know I write a lot about the delicious eggs they lay. And how they produce great fertilizer for my garden. And how caring for them reinforces in all of us the responsibility involved in bringing any living thing into the family
But the one thing I've never mentioned is more medicinal, more therapeutic.
I've decided it is impossible to sit and watch chickens as they go about their work—scratching in the dirt, snagging insects in the grass, dusting their feathers to stay cool and parasite free — and not find yourself relaxing, mellowing.
Chickens, I have noticed, don't worry. They simply take life as it comes. They wake as soon as the sun crests over the horizon and move effortlessly into the day. If my hens didn't have to be kept in a secure pen at night, they would hop down off the perch in the henhouse and move straight out to look for a fat, juicy, worm or a wandering beetle.
They have to wait for me to wake up and let them out of the small pen beneath their house, and they're more than ready by the time I get there. But once they're out and breakfast is served, things settle into an easy pattern.
I've grown to depend on that.
At least once a day, whenever I'm working from home, I close my notebook computer or step away from it if I'm working on the big farmhouse table on the patio, and take a minute to watch the ladies. Most of the day they walk the yard, scratching and pecking.
There seem to be only two rules: "I found it and it's mine or "You found it and it's mine."
They steal constantly from one another and if one stops to investigate, the other comes running ready to take it away. It's endlessly entertaining.
But the wonderful thing is that they sing. Unless they're cackling about a newly -laid egg (or chiming in when one of their coopmates is laying) chickens speak to one another in a throaty, musical, bugling sound and it sometimes seems as if they are singing while they work. Like happy housekeepers.
If I am pulling weeds or deadheading flowers they like to be near me, always close to reach in and grab a worm or grub, and I find the sound companionable and relaxing.
At the end of the day, just as the sun dips to the west, they put themselves to bed, marching up the ladder into the henhouse. I will sometimes sit alone and listen as they settle in for the evening, choosing a position on the perch, grooming their feathers, and it sounds for all the world like they are humming some kind of lullaby. The way my children used to sing to themselves before drifting off to sleep.
This is not what I expected when we brought home three little chicks two springs ago, but like most things in the natural world, the experience has been deeper than I ever imagined it would be.

Eliminate Institutional Enhancement Funding; Provide Greater Accountability for Special Item Funding
State appropriations for higher education institutions largely are determined through a formula funding system. Institutions can, however, compete with one another for "special item" funding—money earmarked for a specific purpose. Special items account for almost 10 percent of university appropriations. While many special items are worthy of earmarked funding, the overuse of special items works against the basic purpose of the formula system, which is to distribute funding equitably and without regard to institutions' political clout. The Legislature should limit the use of special item funding by eliminating institutional enhancement funding, setting a cap on special item funding and funding special items based on a ranking recommended to the Legislature by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
Texas is one of many states that use a formula funding system to allocate resources to public colleges and universities. These formulas consider objective factors such as student enrollment or square footage of physical space. Advocates of formulas argue that they limit competition among colleges and universities and allocate funding equitably.
In the 2002-03 biennium, nearly three-quarters of Texas' total appropriations to public universities are driven by formulas.[1] An additional 16 percent of appropriations are for debt service, capital equity and excellence, staff benefits and Texas Public Education Grants. The remaining amount—more than $461 million or nearly 10 percent of total higher education appropriations—consists of special items.
Special items represent funds earmarked to support a specific program or activity at a university. These items are designed to reflect each institution's unique missions or needs. Examples of special items are public service items, specific research programs, student nurse stipends, funding for separate campuses and specific, one-time capital expenses. While many of these items are laudable and deserving of state support, some are of less critical importance and have been characterized, rightly or wrongly, as "pork."
The current biennium's special item spending increased by 11 percent or $47 million over 2000-2001 levels. This increase is double the rate of increase for all appropriations to Texas public universities, which rose by 5.4 percent.[2] Examples of newly funded projects include $700,000 for border health research at the University of Texas at El Paso; $300,000 for Rio Grande heritage tourism at Sul Ross State University; $500,000 for a Center for Border Economic and Enterprise Development at the University of Texas at Brownsville; and $100,000 for Hispanic World War II oral histories at the University of Texas at Austin.[3] The 2001 Legislature also appropriated $1 million for repairs to the Hobby/Eberly Telescope at the MacDonald Observatory operated by the University of Texas at Austin.
The 1999 Texas Legislature attempted to control the growth of special items by dividing those that should be funded through special action ("true" special items) from those that do not merit such treatment. Items not determined to be true special items were consolidated into a single special item known as "Institutional Enhancement"; the specific items consolidated in this way were no longer listed by name in the General Appropriations Act. They include those that could be funded through funding formulas as well as capital projects, program development items and scholarships. The consolidation process did not cause any institution to lose funding. Institutions may but are not obliged to spend their Institutional Enhancement funding on the consolidated items.
In both the 1999 and 2001 sessions, funding for Institutional Enhancement was determined by combining the 1999 base with a further "enhancement." For the 2000-2001 biennium, the enhancement was $1 million per year per institution. For the 2002-2003 biennium, institutions received an additional $1 million per year, except for those institutions in South Texas and the Border region, which received an additional $1.5 million. Universities that benefited significantly from the state's two new "excellence" funds or that receive excellence funding from the Permanent University Fund did not receive the 2002-03 enhancement. Again, universities may spend enhancement funds as they see fit.
Institutional Enhancement funding kept institutional funding safe during the special items reform process. Given the tremendous discretion universities have in managing these funds, however, items funded by this line in the state budget no longer can be identified. The funding has become a lump sum that institutions may view as an entitlement, rather than spending that must be justified every two years through the appropriations process. The exception is Institutional Enhancement funding for public health-related institutions; in such cases, $1 million per year is earmarked for each campus they operate. Therefore, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center receives $4 million to support its four campuses, while the University of Texas San Antonio Health Science Center receives $1 million per year for its single campus.
With few exceptions, special items are not used in funding the state's public junior and community colleges. In fact, the Texas Association of Community Colleges has recommended that its members refrain from requesting special items and instead concentrate on the development and funding of an equitable funding formula. This helps to limit infighting among colleges and allows the association to lobby for funding that benefits all of its members rather than supporting initiatives that might pit one against another.
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) recently studied the impact of various sources of funding on smaller universities. In its report, THECB noted that allocating a greater proportion of funding directly through formulas rather than special supplemental funding could eliminate or reduce the disparities between larger and smaller institutions.[4] THECB recommended that as much funding as possible be distributed through the formulas, since they treat all institutions the same.[5]
Special funding items have a place in higher education funding, but they should be strictly limited in number. The bulk of state aid to institutions should be distributed in an equitable and predictable pattern through existing formulas that generally do a good job in distributing state funding among many different types of institutions.
A. The Legislature should eliminate the Institutional Enhancement line item and reduce current funding for this item by at least half of current spending levels at all general academic institutions, public technical colleges and state colleges.If an item is truly unique to an institution and serves a critical educational mission, it should be funded as a true special item. Because initiatives funded through the Institutional Enhancement line item may merit continued funding, each university should be allowed to retain up to 50 percent of its current Institutional Enhancement funding. These items, however, should be funded by name, with their purpose clearly identified in the appropriations act. The state should no longer provide significant amounts of funding through a mechanism that does not provide accountability for funding. This recommendation would not apply to Institutional Enhancement flowing to public health-related institutions, since it is used to support specific purposes.By eliminating at least half of the funding flowing through the institutional enhancement special item, $137 million in biennial savings would remain that could be used either for formula funding or to fund other critical state functions.
B. The Legislature should require that the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) review and rank all proposed special items submitted by institutions for funding prior to each legislative session. The number of items funded should depend on the availability of revenue for special item funding.As the state's coordinating body for higher education, THECB should review and rank all requests for special item funding submitted in each institution's Legislative Appropriations Request. THECB has established four key goals for Texas higher education, and these goals should provide a framework for evaluating requests for special items. THECB should give preference to those items that either advance the state's goals for higher education or are truly unique to an institution's mission and cannot be funded through other means. The Legislature then should set a total funding amount based on available revenue and funding items based on the priorities recommended by THECB. This cap should help to limit the influence of politics on the distribution of funding among the state's many institutions of higher education.
Fiscal Impact
Savings to the General Revenue Fund would result from eliminating up to half of the spending that currently flows through the Institutional Enhancement line item, except for that sent to public health-related institutions. This recommendation assumes that universities would argue successfully for special items funded through the half of the Institutional Enhancement funding amount that is not eliminated, and that spending on all other special items would remain constant at 2002-2003 levels. Limiting special item funding may result in reductions in FTEs, but institutions could continue funding these purposes from other revenue sources. Therefore, no reduction in FTEs is assumed.
Fiscal Year Savings to General Revenue 2004 $68,626,000 2005 $68,626,000 2006 $68,626,000 2007 $68,626,000 2008 $68,626,000

First Response Fertility Test
|Mon, 01-23-2012 - 10:21am
I had one of those free with the 2 pack of FRER pregnancy tests and decided to take it yesterday. I was scared of what it would show me but was really shocked when it only produced a light line in the test window. Now, I'm not putting a lot of stock into it but I guess my mind was expecting the lines to be the same darkness
|Mon, 01-23-2012 - 1:54pm
Hey Vickie, I am drowning my AF sorrows in a cup of caffeinated coffee at a coffee shop right now. After reading what u said I am going to get one of those tests. I need to figure my correct cycle day tho, yesterday cramping and spotting, today heavy. So is today cd 1 or two? I need to know if I am going to take that test. Anyone? In the meantime I am going to get another caffeinated coffee while I can. Hee hee. Just one more . . .
|Mon, 01-23-2012 - 3:52pm
Thanks Sandy! My cbfm works that way but just read the FRER fertility and it said count day one as the spotting day. So I guess it works differently. Who knew ttc could be so confusing! From what I read online they said the FRER fertility test only picks up really elevated fsh. So I better get only a faint line! Glad you did Vickie! Sandy, maybe I will have a glass of wine tonight too! Ha! Mary, 45. Ttc naturally
|Mon, 01-23-2012 - 4:29pm
Mary, I'm glad you got the instructions on it. I happened to read mine a day too late last month and had to wait until this month to use it.
|Mon, 01-30-2012 - 9:41am
Well I took that test. Was hoping for a very faint line, uh, got a medium line. It wasn't as dark as the control so I am not worried. I know fsh changes month to month. Mine was 8 .9 5 months ago so , whatever. Can I have my money back now please, lol.

Sitting in traffic Tuesday morning waiting for the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge to lower so I could get moving, I was mulling over column ideas.
I was listening to parents call and complain about the failing public schools system in North Carolina on local talk radio. But I didn't feel like writing about the school system.
As traffic finally began moving again, I was still searching the inner corners of my brain for an idea. My goal was to have my column all but written by the time I arrived at work. If only I could find the inspiration I needed, I would be set.
Is it me, or is the world getting meaner?
I mean, I don't mean I'M getting meaner—although my mall-shopping, cell-phone-gabbin' teenager may beg to differ. But a lot of other people in our community and world seem to be—getting meaner, I mean.
All you have to do is scan through some of the local crime reports from this past week to start wondering what's up:
Assault in Shallotte—Bubba Joe conked Willie Earl on the head with a beer bottle, and there's a good chance alcohol was involved. Nice.
April 15 has now come and gone, but even though I filed my taxes well in advance of the deadline, it caused me more pain and anguish than I thought possible.
Not being any kind of math genius or finance guru, I decided to take my taxes to a local professional this year. I chose a nationally known tax service, thinking it might cost a little bit but it'd be easy and hassle-free.
During the past year, I spent time working in both Kentucky and North Carolina, so I had two sets of W2s.
Believing in needed government assistance doesn't make a person a socialist.
There is a consensus among many Americans that a person is a socialist or has socialist ideas when there is mention of government help for a person or a family who truly needs financial assistance.
A major illness or a prolonged loss of employment has the potential of forcing high-income, well-educated, super religious, ultra liberal—and even my fellow conservatives—to seek assistance from the government or other agencies when survival is at stake.
While the bid for Democratic and Republican spots for the next president of the United States has dominated national media, local voters also have some important races to decide this May much closer to home.
In addition to determining who'll be on the November ballot for county commissioner, school board and other races, Brunswick County voters will have the chance to select nominees for North Carolina's next governor.
The following cases were adjudicated over four days of District Criminal Court on April 2, 3, 7 and 8 in Bolivia.
Wednesday, April 2.
Judge Marion R. Warren presided over the following cases with prosecutors Erin Holden and Cathi Radford and courtroom clerk Michelle Warth:
Rigoberdo S. Alarcon, no operator's license, allow unlicensed to drive, both voluntarily dismissed.
Ignacio A. Albarran, no operator's license, paid; fail to wear seat belt/driver, paid.
The Brunswick County Grand Jury under the direction of Judge Ola M. Lewis with prosecutor Rex Gore and courtroom clerk Kay Fowler returned the following indictments during a Superior Court session on March 31:
Teresa Bowen, 28, of 21020 N.C.210 E., Ivanhoe; felony financial card theft, misdemeanor financial card fraud, felony obtain property false pretense.
AVONDALE, ARIZ.—A fuel gamble in Saturday night's Subway Fresh Fit 500 allowed Jimmie Johnson to get his first Sprint Cup win of 2008. The defending Cup champion nursed his No. 48 Chevrolet across the finish line a little more than seven seconds ahead of Clint Bowyer.
Danny Hamlin, Carl Edwards, Mark Martin, points leader Jeff Burton, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Martin Truex Jr., Greg Biffle and Kyle Busch rounded out the top-10 finishers.
The racing season, even with the successful implementation of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup format, still relies heavily on consistency. Strong finishes in the first 26 races can pretty much guarantee a driver will be in the championship battle during the final 10 weeks.
So I must admit to some eye-rolling at times when, at the end of a given race, the second-place finisher was interviewed and came across as being slightly peevish over the fact that he didn't end up just one spot better.
Walk softly and swing a big stick.
That could be the motto of Stacy Jackson, because she does both.
The West Brunswick second baseman is the smallest player on the varsity softball team.
Just how tall is she?
"Five feet on a good day," she said, laughing.
That might work if she wore thick socks, double soles and Gellin' inserts.
She confessed she actually measures up to 4-feet-11.
But don't underestimate the skills nor Jackson's ferocity. She's West Brunswick's biggest hitter.

I also started reading this author after Parker died and he started writing the Spenser novels. I've liked every book of his I've read. Corruption in a small town.
I started reading Ace Atkins' novels after he partnered with the late Robert B. Parker's characters in two new mysteries. Ranger contains echoes of William Faulkner's Mississippi caricatures and plotting, but Atkins makes it easy to get involved with Quinn, Lillie, Jean, Boom and Lena and to want to know what happens next. I'm looking forward to reading more of Atkins' work.
Good beginning for this new series. The small town Mississippi setting is certainly less than idlyic and the characters are not quite as stereotypical as they first appear. Look forward to the next book to see how things develop.
Atkins has written some interesting books, but this novel is disappointing, little more than a Hollywood-ready good old boy action story.

Sadly the memorial looks unkempt and the plaque has been slightly damaged . It sits at the junction of McMullen Road and Allington Way and was dedicated on 6 May 1986 by the then Mayor of Darlington Councillor Joe Anderson. In 1946 and in recognition of William Bill McMullen's bravery Lingfield Lane was renamed McMullen Road in his honour. In recent years there has been an increase in the interest shown to the memorial and the memory of Bill McMullen and remembrance services are now held on 13 January, the anniversary of the Lancaster crash which are supported by local townsfolk and 405 (Darlington) Squadron ATC.

Batting ninth in the lineup, the switch-hitting Profar crushed a 2-1 pitch from Cleveland's Zach McAllister 391 feet over the wall in right field to give Texas a 1-0 lead in the third inning en route to an 8-3 victory.
Profar became the youngest active player in the majors, the first born in 1993. He is rated as baseball's top overall prospect, according to ESPN.com's Keith Law.
"I guess it's a pretty big thing," a smiling Profar said, his hair and neck covered in shaving cream from a celebratory "pie" administered by teammate Elvis Andrus.
"I was just a little bit nervous, but I'm with a lot of great players, so I just went out and played," Profar said.
Profar hit .281 with 14 homers and 62 RBIs at Double-A Frisco. He homered in the Futures Game in July in Kansas City during All-Star week.
Of his first home run in the big leagues, Profar said, "I was thinking, 'Go, go, go, go,' after I hit it." He was also able to get the souvenir ball back.
Profar doubled in his next at-bat, then was late to hit in the fifth. With Luis Martinez on first with a single, Profar wasn't even in the on-deck circle. Suddenly, he grabbed a bat, ran to the plate and flied out on the second pitch.
SportsNation: Profar's Smashing Debut
Jurickson Profar is ranked as the top prospect in baseball, and hit a home run in his first at-bat. What does the future hold for the 19-year-old?
Comment and vote!
"Mother Nature called," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "He got a couple hits and maybe his stomach realized what was happening."
Profar went 2 for 4 and became the third-youngest player in Rangers history behind pitchers David Clyde and Wilson Alvarez.
"This kid is not afraid," Washington said, who talked to Profar when Kinsler came up ailing.
"He asked me how many games I have played at second base," said Profar, who has played more at shortstop. "I told him and he said, 'OK, you're in the game, playing second.'
"I was kind of shocked, but I was also ready for it."

Angels are very active in the Bible and are used by God as messengers, warriors, and servants. The word "angel" comes from the Greek word "angelos" which means "messenger." Angels are spiritual beings without bodies of flesh and bones though they apparently have the ability to appear in human form (Gen. 19:1-22). Angels had many functions. They praised God (Psalm 103:20), served as messengers to the world (Luke 1:11-20, 26-38; Luke 2:9-14), watched over God's people (Psalm 91:11-12), and were sometimes instruments of God's judgment (Matt. 13:49-50).
The Bible tells us that God created the angels, and that at some time in the distant past there was a rebellion in heaven; and many of the angels fell. Apparently, it was the elect angels that did not fall (1 Tim. 5:21). The Bible says that angels were created by Christ (Col. 1:16), that they carry out the will of God (Psalm 103:20; Matt. 6:10), they worship God and Christ (Phil. 2:9-11; Heb. 1:6), are wise (2 Sam. 14:20), mighty (Psalm 103:20), holy (Matt. 25:31), and innumerable, (Heb. 12:22). However, angels are not to be worshipped (Col. 2:18; Rev. 19:10; 22:9) since they are creatures.
Are there different kinds of angels?
Apparently, there are different kinds of angels with different characteristics and roles: cherubim, seraphim, and archangels. It may also be that there are "powers" and "principalities" that further describe ranks in the angelic realm, but it is debated. Nevertheless, I'll focus on the three main groups.
- "Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew." (Isaiah 6:2).
- They praise God (Isaiah 6:3).
- The word "seraphim" (singular is seraph) is probably a translation of "fiery ones" and probably stems from the fiery imagery often associated with the Presence of God (cf. Ezek. 1:27).1
- "So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life," (Gen. 3:24). See also Exodus 25:18-22; Heb. 9:5.
- Cherubim are typically represented with wings, feet, and hands but are described in different forms as having two faces (Ezek. 41:18) and even four faces (Ezek. 10:21).
- Cherubim were considered to be angels that guarded sacred things. In Gen. 3:24, they guarded the tree of life. They were over the Ark of the Covenant on the Mercy Seat (1 Sam. 4:4). See also Psalm 80:1; 99:1
- Figures of Cherubs were embroidered on the temple veil (Exodus 26:31; 2 Chron. 3:7) and lavished Solomon's temple (1 Kings 6:26ff).
- "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first." (1 Thess. 4:16).
- The word "archangel" is not found in the Old Testament. References to Michael the archangel appear only in 1 Thess. 4:16 and Jude 9. However, Gabriel, who is considered an archangel, appears in both the OT and NT. In the OT he is found in Dan. 8:15-26 and 9:21-27. In the NT he is mentioned in Luke 1:11-20, 26-38. He seems to be a messenger angel.
- On the other hand, Michael the archangel seems to be a warrior angel (Rev. 12:7) who does battle (Dan. 10:13, 21; 12:1).
- An interesting note is that in Rom. 8:38, Eph. 1:21, and Col. 1:16, the word "principalities" is used. In Greek the word has the prefix of "arche" suggesting archangel. Some think this means there is a hierarchy of angels as is suggested in 1 Pet. 3:22: "who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him." (NASB).
What does the Bible say about fallen angels?
Of course, there are fallen angels as well. Lucifer, another archangel, rebelled against God and became the devil. Following are verses often quoted in reference to the evil one.
"How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! 13 "But you said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High" (Isaiah 14:12-14).
Most scholars agree that one-third of the angels fell into sin and became demons.
"And another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems. 4 And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven, and threw them to the earth . . . " (Rev. 12:3-4).
In the future, there will be a judgment upon the fallen angels:
- "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels;" (Matt. 25:41).
- "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;" (2 Pet. 2:4).
- "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day," (Jude 6).
- "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." (Rev. 12:9).
Whichever view you have of angels, it cannot be escaped that the Bible mentions them a lot, and that they are greatly used by God to accomplish His will.

Speculation about Mitt Romney's choice for vice president heats up
Joe Raedle/Getty Images
Republican Presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney speaks to the media about speculation on his Vice Presidential search on June 19, 2012 in Holland, Michigan. Mr. Romney denied stories that Florida Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is not being vetted for the V.P. slot.
As the final stretch of the United States presidential race nears, Americans are increasingly curious about who presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney will select as his running-mate.
The two most likely contenders to potentially become the next vice president of the U.S. are widely considered to be former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and Ohio Senator Rob Portman. Rumors that the Romney campaign wants to recruit former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice for the job have also been widespread. Other individuals thought to be under consideration for the position are South Dakota Senator John Thune, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan.
Romney will be traveling to London, Israel, Poland in the coming weeks and may announce his decision before his departure next week.
Who do you think Mitt Romney should choose to be his potential vice president? Is the rumor that Republicans are courting Condoleezza Rice for the job a misleading publicity stunt?

Grey's Anatomy Caption Contest XLIIIby Steve Marsi at . Comments
An unforgettable three-part event made for a record number of responses to Caption Contest XLIII. They were terrific, too. Maybe you're getting funnier with time, or maybe a confused-looking Alex Karev just makes it really easy. Whatever the reason, this was a great Caption Contest.
We had a lot of fun reading the entries. Choosing the best caption for this picture, taken from Thursday's "Drowning On Dry Land," was not easy.
Honorable mentions go out to McYummy_lover, That McBastard, Laura (great Britney Spears reference), Molly (best use of Addisex) and Marla (best ad for cellphone company). Everyone did a great job this week, but since we have to pick one champion, our winner is Jacob K.
Congrats! The winning caption appears beneath the picture below. You can scroll down to read the complete list of great responses we got. Thanks to all of you for playing, and for making us the top Grey's Anatomy site on the web. Good luck again this week!
