New management overhauling former Firebird Raceway

Like a gearhead tricking out his ride, new operators are in the midst of improving the site of the former Firebird Raceway.
Now dubbed Wild Horse Motorsports Park, the 500-acre site's new management company has been working since the spring to breathe new life into the motorsports facility situated on the Gila River Indian Community just off Interstate 10 south of Chandler Blvd.
"We are excited about changing the image and perception of a facility (like this)," said Paul Clayton, managing partner of Copper Train Development Partners LLC. Clayton's group was brought in by Sun Valley Marina Corp., which is the arm of the Gila River tribe that runs the motorsports park.
Right across the street from Wild Horse Pass Resort and Casino, as well as the 5-month-old Phoenix Premium Outlets, the motorsports park makes for a natural extension of the Indian tribe's tourism and entertainment destination development it has built in the area. That was the goal when the tribe approached him, Clayton said.
"The thing I heard over and over again was, 'We want this to be something the community's proud of,'" he said. "They want it to reflect the quality that Gila River has put into Wild Horse Pass."
Late last year, the Gila River tribe decided not to renew Firebird's lease after 30 years. Firebird's lease expired in April.
Much of Clayton's work since starting his lease in April has been cleaning up the 30-year-old facility. That work has included repainting the main drag strip, punching up the inside of the office building and installing new electrical and plumbing underneath. In addition, the park received its new name and accompanying logo. Clayton's crew also has been working at making new partnerships and reforging others with companies in the motorsports industry, such as Lucas Oil.

Since the Open Challenge, things at the Transitions Global TLC have been going extremely well. We have hired a new social worker, who is doing a great job connecting with the girls, encouraging them, and helping them in the process of healing.
We have brought in a volunteer US social worker who will be training our staff in procedures and interventions to help them become more effective in their jobs. She will be staying in Cambodia for a year with us and working alongside Dr. Wendy Freed, who will be doing supervision for the girls' therapy.
The yoga therapy is continuing to grow and we now have five girls that are completely engaged in becoming yoga instructors and using yoga as therapy to help others. Many of these girls are currently teaching children's classes to underprivileged kids.
Other girls are studying graphic design, English, computers, and anything else their hearts desire.
This next year, we will be developing a new life skills program to help the girls increase their capacity for independent living, as well as, engaging in a new research project with Pacific Graduate School of Psychology to help us in capturing better statistics and results with our program.
We are very excited about this next year - building new lives for survivors of sex trafficking. We hope that you will join us in this journey.
Thank you for your support - we cannot do this without you!

In the world's mighty gallery of pictures hang the scenes that're painted from life
There hang pictures of love and of passion and there's pictures of sorrow and strife
There hang pictures of youth and of beauty of old age and a blushing young bride
But the saddest of all that hang on the wall are the pictures from life's other side
Just a picture from life's other side someone has fell by the way
A life has gone out with the tide that might have been happy some day
There's a poor old mother at home who's watching and waiting alone
Just longing to hear from a loved one so dear it's a picture from life's other side
Now the first scene is that of a gambler who's lost all his money at play
And he reaches down and takes his dead mother's ring from her finger
The one that she wore long ago on her wedding day
It's his last earthly treasure but he stakes it
Then bows his head that his shame he might hide
When they lifted his head they found he was dead
It's just a picture from life's other side
Now the last scene is that by the river of a heartbroken mother and babe
As the harbor lights shine and they shiver on an outcast whom that no one can save
And yet she was once a true woman she was somebody's darling and pride
God help her she leaps for there's no one to weep it's a picture from life's other side

Price cap may carve up profits for Enable
Relevant offers
Christchurch's ultrafast broadband company Enable, owned by the Christchurch City Council, is concerned that the Commerce Commission will set prices for broadband that do not give a reasonable return.
In mid-2011 the city council decided that Enable should enter a $440 million joint venture with the Crown to build an ultrafast broadband network in Christchurch over eight years, to be completed in 2019.
Enable does not expect to make a profit from the network until 2020.
Yesterday, the country's biggest telecommunications network owner, Chorus, lost its challenge in the High Court to the commission's proposed cuts to the price of copper broadband connections.
The worry for Chorus and other telecommunications companies like Enable building a fibre network, is that low-cost copper-based broadband will dissuade consumers from switching to higher-priced ultra-fast broadband connections on their fibre networks.
In its submission to the commission Enable said it had a strong interest in the price of copper broadband services and in the principles being established for long-term regulated pricing.
"The commission has an obligation to take into account the impact its price setting outcomes have on incentives to innovate that exist for, and the risks faced by, investors in new telecommunications services that involve significant capital investment."
Enable chief executive Steve Fuller, who wrote the submission, was not available yesterday to speak about the copper and fibre pricing issue and the High Court decision.
Fuller's submission said the Government's intention was for ultrafast broadband networks to make "appropriate returns taking into account the start-up nature of the UFB [ultrafast broadband] industry."
The telecommunications industry faced the threat of "asset stranding from technical innovations", Fuller wrote.
Yesterday a consumer group welcomed the High Court ruling, saying it should eventually deliver lower prices for telecommunications users.
Telecommunications Users Association of New Zealand (Tuanz) chief executive Paul Brislen said it was a "very small" but important step. "We're a step closer to price reductions we've been expecting for three years."
The commission had decided Chorus could charge only $10.92 a month for copper broadband connections, down from $21.96. The $10.92 wholesale price is to come in from the end of this year.
Hamilton Hindin Greene analyst James Smalley said one of the issues highlighted by Chorus was that overseas surveys had found it was harder to persuade consumers to move from fast broadband to super fast broadband than to persuade then to switch from slow to fast.
In a judgment released yesterday Justice Stephen Kos in the High Court rejected Chorus' appeal
Chorus general counsel Vanessa Oakley said: "We will be reviewing the court's findings in detail." Telecommunications Commissioner Stephen Gale said he hoped to be able to complete the final pricing review by December.

I was certainly "unfriended" this year (the address book narrows cruelly after 40). I went on a "staycation". And, thankfully, I steered well clear of "jeggings". Yesterday the Oxford English Dictionary revealed its "words of the year", encapsulating the preoccupations and lifestyles of 2009.
And it's been a rich year for word enthusiasts. Yet already the howls of disapproval have started. Language is being debased, critics argue. The rise of predictive texting and social networking sites creates only a deafening banality. I disagree.
Despite being a Luddite forty-something who can't Twitter, I love the new phrases coined by "the youth". They're witty, imaginative and a revelation about how the next generation think (we're analogue; they're digital). Language is a living entity. You can't stop it. You may want to step in and redirect traffic occasionally (when a generation without history mocks feminism or uses the word "gay" perjoratively). But it gives us the chance to have a proper debate.
And generally I find the new diction thrilling. Twentysomethings aren't just confined to their bedrooms downloading party pictures on Facebook. They're out changing culture.
At the Royal Court, brilliant playwright Polly Stenham, 22, updated the idiolect of children's book Where the Wild Things Are for her latest drama, Tusk Tusk (about teens betrayed by slacker middle-class parents). While 29-year-old Mike Bartlett's play Cock, about a gay man who falls in love with a woman, showed the impossibility of having a strict binary attitude to language or sexuality.
There's an energy and rhythm about current "youthspeak" which makes it akin to performance poetry. It's no coincidence this has been the year of mouthy singer-songwriters from La Roux to Florence. I spent months puzzling the title of Lily Allen's second album "Alright, still", assuming it was monosyllabic teen argot. Turns out it satirises how we mournfully accept still water (better for us) in place of sparkling in restaurants. And I loved the Victoria Wood sketch on Christmas Eve with the teens of Cranford all communicating in 19th-century tapestry "textspeak". Far more realistic than curtseying to the aristos.
We're living through exciting times for lexicographers. Last year we had to make do with the euphemistic "credit crunch" as 2008's most familiar new word. But this year with the City's meltdown, we have "zombie banker" and "paywall" and "bossnapping". The art of satire is alive and kicking. Even some old words have been given a new lease of life. "Snollygosters" (shrewd, unprincipled people), was first recorded in 1855.
No one wants to be an ageing hipster. But we have to keep listening – and translating. Popular culture is the crucible where language is newly minted. When I interviewed the new female editor of NME – Krissi Murison, 27 – recently, she predicted a post-karaoke, post-X Factor backlash. The new bands for 2010 mix nihilistic lyrics with punishing rhythms. In the darkest hour we get the language we deserve. Thank heavens.

Photography Troubleshooting: Capturing BabiesOkay so one of the biggest subjects within portraiture photography are infants and children! Children and in particular newborn babies bring out the photographer in all of us. So whether or not you're looking to go pro and snap babies professionally or whether you just want to brush up on some tips for your own family or friends, this could be the article for you! I always thought that when I got my first baby shoot booked, it would just be a case of snapping them on the carpet or wrapped up in a blanket. I had no idea how creative I could really get - and how simply it would be to do that.Photography Troubleshooting: Capturing Babies2 years ago in Art Features More Like This
Until a few weeks ago, I had never photographed a baby in my life, let alone had to pose and arrange one in cute positions with lots of fluffy toys surrounding it. I had also never used a lighting kit before, but that's another story. Anyway, I found it incredibly easy once I knew what i needed, to set up for the shoot and since then I haven't looked back.

It's a tough topic and one that most of us like to shy away from rather than embrace, but the honest truth is that the shots of people that you get - the best kind - are the ones that are candid, journalistic or spontaneous. That usually means asking permission afterwards, or not asking permission at all - which can appear quite odd, to some. One of my biggest concerns and anxieties is having my camera out in public. I recently went to a beach, of all places, and was shooting the coastline when a horrible feeling crept over me and I realised that there were lots of people around and that I was invading, a little bit, on their privacy. These guidelines are useful for shooting on the street, at public gatherings and events and at more formal occasions such as weddings.
If the person is going to be the main subject of your photo - then it's kind to ask permission, get perm
Project Educate: Photographing Infants + ChildrenPhotographing infants and children can either be really painful and frustrating, or incredibly fun and rewarding. It depends entirely on the child. I kid, sort of. It's what you make of it and how you treat the moment. Children are fast, sometimes moody, sometimes hyper and nearly always think they know what you want them to do when you turn the camera on them. Either run, or crack that huge fake camera smile that they've been taught to do for their school photographs.Project Educate: Photographing Infants + Children2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
Don't force a smile. If the child doesn't want to smile, don't make them. You'll end up with the fake smile. However having said that, you can try and be funny, but again don't push it. They're smarter than many give them credit for. If you're not getting a smile but you're getting a rude funny face, then accept it. Those sorts of shots can be awesome as well.
Learn to accept imperfections. Whether the children are strangers to you or not, you can't have it perfect all of the time. Messy hair,

1) Clean Your Lens!
Unlike 'Proper' cameras, we're not overly precious about our smartphones. They go in and out of pockets and get left on all sorts of surfaces a lot of the time. Depending on the phone you have, you may be pressing your fingers into the lens whilst making a call without even realising it. So to get the best results, ensure your lens is cleaned regularly.
2) Compose
As with all photographs, composition is key. However you don't get much in the way of editing allowance after you've taken a photograph on your phone. You can chang
Troubleshooting:How to Photograph Christmas LightsTroubleshooting:How to Photograph Christmas Lights2 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
I recently read an article on Reddit that explored the best way to photography Christmas lights and it raised some interesting points. Rather than re-hash what has already been said, I've delved into a few tutorials around the web to give an overview of some hints and tips - and will link them all at the end of this article so that you can investigate for yourself.
When you take a Photograph, the camera will often over-compensate with the colours that it's trying to capture and objects that look fairly white to the naked eye don't appear so in the photo that you've taken. White Balance aims to override that. But just setting your camera to Auto White Balance and hoping for the best is not good enough...
The above shots show the same location taken firstly with auto white balance - and then secondly with the white balance set to shade. Setting Shade me
Post-Processing Thoughts : Part 1In photography, the term Post-Processing, or Post-Production, is the act of improving photographs by performing a series of alterations and changes. This can happen in traditional or digital photography, where the latter uses digital programs for digital post-processing. In this article, we will be going through a few basic things that you may want to consider if you are just a beginner of post-processing, a seasoned user, or just a person who has never post-processed before.Post-Processing Thoughts : Part 11 year ago in Art Features More Like This
Why Post-Process?
Well, you may feel that your photographs are lacking a special something. Sometimes, this is because of the actual equipment you own, which may affect the quality of the photographs. Other times, we just need a little boost to give our photographs that power to stand out. While you may improve upon your photography purely on execution alone (and perhaps that is the best), knowing basic post-processing may help you go further, in the sense that it may be the cherry o

This category of photojournalism is one of the most sought after positions in professional photography. VIP access to pro athletes, frontline seats, locker room interviews, and a paycheck to photograph the whole experience year after year?!!
Sign me up!!
Well, that's how my story began anyway. Years ago, I made the mistake of going to a pro hockey game and within three hours fell madly in love with the smell of ice and the sound of blades. I left the building thinking to myself (and telling anyone who would listen to the ravings of a madwoman): "There has to be some way I can be involved in this for the rest of my life." What actually happened after that night is one of the wildest stories I've ever told and it's still a crazy ride. But getting on that ride and staying on is tricky.
So here's what I've learned so far about actually surviving sports photography
Project Educate: Basic Photography TerminologyPhotography TerminologyProject Educate: Basic Photography Terminology3 years ago in Deviant Events More Like This
This is a term that refers to the way the lens blurs the image and the aesthetic quality of that blur. Some lenses cause the image to blur that is pleasing to the eye, whereas others blur in a more unpleasant or distracting way. It is considered good practice to have the subject of the image in focus, while the background is blurred. Bokeh occurs in the part of the image that lies outside the depth of field and photographers sometimes use a shallow focus to make the out of focus regions more prominent.
Depth of Field
This refers to how much of the scene is in focus. In portrait or macro photography, it is better to have a shallow depth of field and keep only part of the image in focus, as opposed to landscape photography where you'd generally want a larger depth of field and keep everything in focus.
Ten Macro Photography TipsMacro photography is photography magnified. It is generally recognized as "macro" when you are increasing the size of an object in your picture from about half life-size, as represented on the image sensor, to five times life-size. Here are some top tips for capturing great Macro Photography. If you have any to add please leave them in the comments below the article!Ten Macro Photography Tips10 months ago in Art Features More Like This
1) Lens choice...
Many lens choices have that very tempting 'Macro setting' on them which supposedly allows your camera to magically transform itself into the ability to be a complete perfect macro lens. It works sometimes! Depending on your camera. However if you want to capture true Macro photography then you need a true Macro Lens. What Digital Camera? gives readers some advice on which lens to choose and

Using Natural Lighting and Outdoor Environments in Still Life
Many wonderful still life photographers use indoor setups and lighting for their photography. But, since I started out as a nature photographer, I like to utilize natural light and shoot my still life photos outdoors. However, taming the outdoor world can be a little tricky, so I wanted to write an article discussing several tips for improving outdoor still life shots and explaining how I shot several of my own still life photographs.
Here are several tips...
1.) Try different angles. Outdoor lighting environments can look widely different depending on the angle, since the angle you shoot at can change lighting, general perspective of the subject, and what is in your background. So for each shot I take, I always try several different angles. I also try re-positioning my subject a few times and even moving to a different outdoor area.

I would like to thank everyone who replied to the questions asked in the previous article. For those that are thinking about post-processing, I would encourage you to read those responses as a way to discover different perspectives, thoughts and opinions on the matter.
In this article, we will briefly go through how you can post-process your photographs and the variety of options there are.
Firstly, you will need a software to post-process your photographs. This could be the software that came with your camera on a separate disc, Photoshop, Lightroom, GIMP, an
4 Top Wedding Photography Tools Memory Card4 Top Wedding Photography Tools1 year ago in Art Features More Like This
Use the fastest memory card that your camera will allow. Don't skimp on it! Spend some time investing in your memory cards - and yes, cards because you need more than one. A lot of manufacturers will tell you the read speed maximum for the card, but not the write speed. The latter is the most important for us as we need to know how quickly the photos will write to the card before allowing us to shoot again. I found out the hard way about memory cards, whilst trying to shoot a santa fun run. I was in sports mode to capture as many shots as possible but my memory card allowed about five before 'writing- unable to operate' flashed up. Needless to say I ended up with a lot of backsides and not many faces! There's nothing worse than snapping the wedding speeches only to find that the cake has been cut and everyone has gone home by the time you're ready to take another shot. Shocking.

Camera Raw Tools for PhotographersCamera Raw Tools for Photographers1 year ago in Art Features More Like This
This article aims to highlight some of the more useful tools that you can find in Camera RAW. It's doesn't cover everything, and purely focuses on the useful things for the image used. But hopefully it will give a bit of insight and maybe even highlight something that you haven't used before...
This tool will save your life. Honestly. I'm not exaggerating! Whilst it is possible to 'over' soften an image, most of the time all that's required to reduce a little noise is to up the luminance slider just a little bit.
Auto White Balance
Quite often , the white balance can be the only thing that upsets an image. In the example that I'm using, the day was fairly dull but the whiteness of the sky was quite overpowering. Therefore the clarity of the image turned out to be weaker than I wanted and the light 'harsher.' Using 'Auto White Balance' gave it an Autumnal sort of feel and a tinge of orang

There's also a nifty DIY tripod trick you can try which I've written about here - but for fireworks, you need stability.
6 Steps to a better Self-Portrait1. Always use a tripod.6 Steps to a better Self-Portrait1 year ago in Personal More Like This
Seriously. Always. use. a. tripod.
Using a tripod is one of the most important steps to make your self-portrait look professional.
Imagine the model in this picture would hold the camera with her arm. Would it look just as professional?
A tripod is always useful to stabilize your photo, but when you take self-portraits, it is not only useful - it is essential.
If you would model for someone else and he'd give you the camera, there'd be something wrong, right?
You are not only the photographer, you're the model, too.
Doesn't matter how close you are to the camera, don't touch it
And don't you dare to take the camera - or even your phone - and stand in front of the mirror!
So, will you use a tripod when you take your next self-portrait?

Interested in Dreamworks? Lighting ResourceSo I attended a talk by Bert Poole - He's currently serving as a CG Supervisor on their new movie "The Croods" scheduled for release in March 2013. His most recent movie, you all know of is How to Train Your Dragon, where he was also a CG Supervisor. If you don't know what that means, that means he worked on lighting C: What I'm putting below is from notes I took during his lecture.Interested in Dreamworks?

His job is to take the directors vision and make the movie look like it. He's making compositions and helping the story to better read. If you've ever talked to me on DA for three or more posts, you might have heard me blab about my major and what I'd like to do. I'd like to do into Lighting, animation second. I just don't feel my skills are as suited for animation, even though I really enjoy it.

Mariah Carey to Release New Song on Tuesday (Exclusive Audio)
"Almost Home," from the forthcoming movie "Oz: The Great and Powerful," goes to radio on Feb. 19. An accompanying video, directed by frequent collaborator David LaChapelle, is slated to premiere in the coming weeks.
Just in time for the long weekend, superstar singer, American Idol judge and diva extraordinaire Mariah Carey is letting fans whet their appetite for new music by releasing a snippet of her about-to-be-released single, "Almost Home."
Featured in the forthcoming Disney feature Oz: The Great and Powerful, starring James Franco and Mila Kunis, directed by Sam Raimi and scheduled for a theatrical release on March 8, the pure pop track was co-written by Carey with Simone Porter, Justin Gray, Lindsey Ray and co-produced by Stargate (Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel Eriksen). It goes to radio on Tuesday, Feb. 19 and will be available on iTunes the same day. An accompanying video, directed by Carey's frequent collaborator David LaChapelle, will premiere in the coming weeks.
PHOTOS: 'Oz: The Great and Powerful': James Franco, Mila Kunis Celebrate the Hollywood Premiere
The vocals for "Almost Home" sit comfortably in Carey's mid-range, as opposed to leaning more heavily on the breathy falsetto for which the octave-defying performer is also known. Recorded in New York City at Roc The Mic Studios and featuring overlaying harmonies, the song marks a return to form for the multiple Grammy winner, who's sold more than 200 million albums since her 1990 debut. "It's a feel-good record," said Carey in a statement announcing the tune, whose lyrics pine to "find a kingdom I believe in in my heart." "It gives you the feeling of reaching your home and being with people that you love," she added.
Oz: The Great and Powerful is a sort of prequel to the timeless story of The Wizard of Oz that imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's iconic title character.
Carey is currently working on a new album slated for release in the spring.

FOGL, the oil and gas exploration company focused on its extensive licence areas to the South and East of the Falkland Islands, is pleased to announce the execution of an option to enter into a farmout agreement which, if exercised, would provide FOGL with greater financial flexibility in respect of its current and forward programmes.On 13 January 2012, the Board of FOGL announced that it was continuing to progress discussions in relation to a potential farmout. The Board is pleased to announce that it has granted an industry counterparty an option (the Option) to enter into a Farm Out Agreement (FOA) and an associated Joint Operating Agreement (JOA). The counterparty has completed all technical and commercial due diligence and the FOA and JOA have been fully agreed. For corporate reasons unconnected with the proposed farmout, the counterparty is unable to execute the FOA/JOA at this time, but expects to be able to do so within the next two months and prior to the commencement of FOGL's drilling programme.Summary terms of the FOA
Terms of Option
Rig updateThe Board of FOGL notes the announcement on 16 March 2012 by Borders & Southern Petroleum plc (B&S) that rig issues which had previously stalled progress on drilling the Darwin prospect had now been addressed and that the company expects another four to five weeks of activity on that well. As a consequence, FOGL now expects to receive the rig around early June following completion of the drilling of B&S's Darwin and Stebbing. This delay has no impact on the contractual arrangement that FOGL has with Ocean Rig to drill two exploration wells, following the completion of the B&S drilling programme.Tim Bushell, Chief Executive of FOGL, said:"We are delighted to have agreed favourable farm-out terms which we assess as a two for one promote on the first two wells. This farmout provides further external industry confirmation of the technical case and gives us greater flexibility with respect to our drilling plans"We look forward to progressing our drilling campaign in the next few months."

Featured news
They found that by sending certain packets of information to systems using SolidDB it is possible to trigger a non-recoverable error in the program and thus terminate related server processes, creating the potential for remote Denial of Service attacks. As a result, many other products that utilize SolidDB are also vulnerable to the same type of compromise.
IBM issued a SolidDB update that addresses the vulnerability (SolidDB/Universal Cache 6.3 Fix Pack 3) on Nov. 13, 2009. In a related announcement, HP issued a security advisory addressing a vulnerability in the database server core component of its OpenView Network Node Manager. CoreLabs researchers first discovered the involved HP NNM vulnerability and reported it to the vendor as well.
Vulnerability specifics
CoreLabs initially discovered the vulnerability in IBM SolidDB as part of its ongoing research efforts into security issues found in other products that utilize the in-memory caching software, namely HP OpenView NNM. The DoS flaw specifically affects IBM SolidDB Server versions 220.127.116.11 and 18.104.22.168. Other versions may also be vulnerable but were not tested by Core.
The IBM SolidDB product family consists of relational, in-memory database technology that promises to accelerate the speed and performance of database applications via the use of SQL coding.
In addition to use in third party technologies, the in-memory database is also leveraged as core component of IBM's SolidDB Universal Cache, a performance improvement application for relational databases such as IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and Informix products.
CoreLabs researchers discovered a remotely exploitable vulnerability in the database server core component of SolidDB. Exploitation of the bug does not require authentication and will lead to a remotely triggered denial-of-service of the database service.
Specifically, IBM SolidDB server listens and accepts remote connections on port 2315/tcp. The service is implemented by 'solid.exe' which is started automatically on boot of the program. For certain transactions, upon receiving a packet from the network the service will attempt to determine and display an error code string based on a error code number specified in the packet.
By sending a specially crafted packet with an invalid error code number it is possible to trigger an exception that forces abnormal termination of the involved SolidDB service.
Based on CoreLabs research it appears unlikely that the vulnerability could be exploited for anything other than remote DoS attacks.
