ASU running back Grice out for Pac-12 title game
NOV 30, 2013 11:01p ET
Following ASU's 58-21 win over Arizona, Graham said he does not expect to have Grice for the Sun Devils' rematch with Stanford but said the senior could be ready to play in a bowl game.
"It's probably a three-week deal," Graham said. "He'd probably be doubtful (against Stanford). I think I'm safe in saying that. Our deal is we want to go win this thing, and he'll be ready for the next one."
Grice suffered a left leg injury against UCLA last weekend, and his status remained a mystery throughout the week. Grice stood on crutches with a boot on his left leg as he and ASU's other seniors were honored before Saturday's game.
Sophomore D.J. Foster started in Grice's place and earned Territorial Cup MVP honors, rushing for 124 yards and two touchdowns. Even without Grice, who has 20 touchdowns on the season and leads the team in all-purpose yards, ASU amassed 478 yards of offense and set a record for points in the series between the rival teams.

Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil has reportedly admitted he turned the singer onto drugs.
Throughout their 18 month marriage, Team Amy have frequently claimed Blake introduced her to drugs and other destructive habits while Team Blake, primarily his parents, have claimed the reverse is true.
However, now in a taped interview transcribed in the News of the World, Blake is said to have admitted Amy became intrigued after he used heroin and crack in front of her: "I made the biggest mistake of my life by taking heroin in front of her.
"I introduced her to heroin, crack cocaine and self-harming. I feel more than guilty.
"Heroin and crack took hold of me and f***** me up. It made me not look out for the woman that I love more than anyone else in the world.
"The first time Amy took crack she [had] asked me, 'Can I try a bit of that'.
"Crack is the nastiest drug. It makes you paranoid, unreasonable, edgy and totally suspicious of everyone. And you can get hooked on it straight away. But I was weak and an addict and I let Amy take some.
"I didn't stop it from happening. For that I take full responsibility. It became something we did as well as heroin. And then our lives fell apart.

The shooting death Monday of a well-regarded restaurant owner in Cleveland Heights remains under investigation, with no arrests made. ideastream's Bill Rice reports the incident has stunned the community and raised questions about safety.
According to Cleveland Heights police, Jim Brennan, owner of Brennan's Colony Restaurant and bar on Lee Road, was shot inside the eatery during an attempted robbery and died at Metrohealth Hospital. Two unidentified suspects were seen fleeing the rear of the building and are still at large. Police say there may have been a struggle between Brennan and the perpetrators.
Community members say they're shocked at Brennan's death, and shocked that it happened in the early afternoon. And some are speaking up quickly to reassure residents and visitors that the city is safe. John Forman, who owns the nearby Cedar Lee Theater, rejects the idea that Cleveland Heights is becoming more dangerous, as many commenters on news sites have suggested.
"I think this is the whole issue of reality vs. perception," said Forman. "Have there been other incidents in Cleveland Heights? Absolutely. Have there been incidents in Beachwood and the Beachwood Mall, Rocky River and Crocker park? Absolutely. Downtown Cleveland? Yes. So to single out one community because of a terrible, terrible, horrific crime and say 'Oh, things are terrible in Cleveland Heights' is really unfair."
But violent crime has been on the rise in Cleveland Heights. FBI statistics show a steady rise in reported incidents—from just 28 in 2007, to 168 in 2012, the last year of reported data.
A vigil in Cleveland Heights to honor Brennan is scheduled for 7:00 this evening.

EUGENE, Ore. — The Eugene Police Department says a postal employee was cited in lieu of custody for mail theft.
EPD says that man is Alex Douma. EPD says Douma was cited in the 3800 block of Elmira Road for allegedly stealing pamphlets. It's unclear what type of pamphlets they were.
KEZI 9 News contacted the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General, and it confirms it's currently investigating a person of interest after receiving a report of undelivered mail. That investigation includes allegations of delay or destruction of U.S. mail, which is a federal crime.

Build and release engineers are in charge of the software design, building phases, and release duties for their organization. They create and maintain infrastructure to build software applications, as well as test and troubleshoot code before release. They are also responsible for executing and coordinating integration of software elements, overseeing testing procedures to identify compatibility or performance issues, and using complex engineering tools to automate processes and increase productivity. Build and release engineers create a release schedule, taking into account build requirements and complexity. They also verify build integrity before deployment, run proprietary software to modify project needs and oversee build progress. These professionals develop easy-to-understand instructions for release and create detailed reports for upper management. They also implement optimizations for better performance and reduced memory consumption.
Read More...Job skills reported by Build and Release Engineers are limited. Automation Scripting and Build Management are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay by 9 percent and 7 percent, respectively. Automation Scripting and Build Management are correlating skills — those who know the former usually know the latter.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Survey participants with less than five years' experience pocket $73K on average, but those with five to 10 years of experience enjoy a much bigger median of $93K. After 10 to 20 years, professionals can make it pretty big; the median salary sits in the six-figure neighborhood of $106K. Respondents who boast more than 20 years of experience can't seem to boast paychecks reflecting that extensive experience, though; veteran Build and Release Engineers report making only $102K on average.

OK, just wanted to get something up on the main page again, but so far we don't really seem to have a plan on how to get more people on the site.
I think I'm going to move up the deadline and, barring any burst in activity/membership, we'll probably shut the site down on December 1, 2014 (aka 361 days from now).
That will get us to 19 years in business. 20 sounded like a nice round number, but I can't see us doing two more years at this pace.
My next task is going to check with adrian about finding some solution that lets users download all of their content in some non-ugly format, but other than that, I'm not really taking any steps to reviving the site.
Again, I am open to any other options people advance. I mean, if Uncertain wants to take Oasis and just run it as a global gay non-profit, he can have it. Anything will be considered, or it will go away.
But two years at this glacial pace is too long, so tick-tock... who's got a plan?
To get rid of some of the major suggestions (both posted and what I got in pm's):
Go legit
If we do outreach to schools, GSAs, etc., we would have to be a far more button-down site. 501iiic, advisory boards, staff and non-youth volunteers getting pedo-screened, etc., so that really isn't an option, that is starting an entirely new thing. Is someone with the desire/ability wants to pursue that, they are free to do so (provided they have the experience/skills/etc.).
A few people suggested we get more members who are xxx or yyy, who would benefit from the site. And, while those people probably would benefit, there's no plan there. Technically the site is open to everyone now, including those groups. So, we need to sort out how to get them here and active.
Keep it running
Not a real option. If the site is nearly abandoned, why keep it limping along. I'd rather force anyone on here, or who might sign up here before we shut down, to find active community online, or support elsewhere, than a site where that support may come days later. Plus, on a personal note, I do check in on the site all the time, and it's sort of needlessly habitual at this point, but I really need the site to be active, in someone else's hands, or gone.
Adrian has referenced keeping the site up and read-only after we shut down. I'm still not convinced that is merited. I mean, are people ever reading old columns from March 1996 or anything? I imagine not. I feel the site only has temporal appeal. But I could be wrong...
Make this site read-only, and we could move to a more popular and active web site, or maybe merge into one. I hope someone here has connections.
If there's an active, popular website people could go to... what are we bringing to the party? Or do you mean import your content from here to there?
"You don't know you're beautiful." - Harry Styles
Maybe contact some influential youtube personalities about putting the word out there. Like Hart and some others, im not saying they will definitely help but they are people I listen to. If you want to reach the youth or even people in general that may need this page, I think that would be the way to go. Tre' Melvin, (he does this is a commentary), just came out as bisexual for his New Years Resolution. A lot of people love and look up to him, (including myself). And he helps people, regardless of sexuality. His video about coming out (to the world -
Youtube Personalities
These are people who do LGBT web series
I read all the posts.... I'm up to page 396 story 9 so far as of 2 days ago...\
~"i'm a real Witch, Before, During AND After my coffee!"
I suppose I can't really raise any objections, since I've mostly vanished from the site myself... But it's a sad thought to think this site wouldn't be here to help future kids the way it helped me.
That is largely the problem, though. We can look to the past, and wonder about the future, but if the present is indicative of the future... it doesn't look good.
Or it's amazing, of course, if people need a site like Oasis less in general.
"You don't know you're beautiful." - Harry Styles
I see value in this site I think it needs to be more well known to the new kids coming out
why not make a youtube video with a link to the site i think it would really help
Mothers, tell your children: be quick, you must be strong. Life is full of wonder, love is never wrong. Remember how they taught you, how much of it was fear. Refuse to hand it down - the legacy stops here. ~Melissa Etheridge, "Silent Legacy," Yes I A
I think we need LGBT youth explaining the benefit of the site to other LGBT youth. Me pimping the site isn't really going to help as much.
So, whenever anyone suggests any method to help save Oasis, my advice is: Sounds good, go do that! So, make a video and post it!
"You don't know you're beautiful." - Harry Styles
There's lots of us that still need this site, and for a teen like me living in Bumfuggerville U.S.A this is the only way to connect with other gay teens except for chat rooms... if you are even able to go into chat rooms.
With all the smart people involved in this site I'm sure there's a way we can save it!
I'm not against keeping the site, but it needs to pick up new, active members. So, any way people figure out how to do that, the better...

I am not apart of the LGBT community as I am straight, but I really like this journal and community. While I hardly post or comment, I still regularly read posts and keep up to date. It would be such a shame to shut it down, despite it's small collection of members. :(
This is sad news to read. This site helped me out so much. Though I do feel partially responsible since I don't really post anymore, despite best intentions.
Its possibly a naïve suggestion but maybe having the site as an app would increase activity? If you just have it there on your smart phone it is easier to check on the go?

If anyone has some concrete ideas of what to do with the site, has relevant experience, web coding skills, please let me know! I feel like non-commercial spaces such as Oasis that promote open discussion and expression are an important tool for young queer individuals.
If I were to re-vamp Oasis I would try to promote the 'news' aspect of the site, posting critical insight and giving an alternative voice to 'mainstream' queer culture, while also retaining the intimate, journal aspect of this website. Only problem: my lack of coding skills... although the current format would work quite nicely.
I'll post my e-mail my member page - write to me if you're seriously interested in conserving Oasis, willing to actively work on updating the site, ect.
**If it does end up shutting down... I don't like the idea of the site being read-only.. not sure I want some of this stuff found now that I'm a bit older... If it's done, it's done.
You would need to specifically find someone with Drupal skills, since that is the web content management system Oasis uses.
It is a pretty well-known CMS at this point, though.
If the site goes read-only, I would only do that while also giving users the access to delete all of their previous content. That does have issues, though, when it comes to forums, that I need to explore. Like, if you created a forum, would it disappear? If you replied in the middle of a very popular one, would it take out everything after you, or just yours and any nested replies to yours?
That is adrian's preference. I would just as soon post a message on here that the site is shut down, with the ability for users to log in and delete or download their content, but none of it is available to anyone else. Of course, it is the Internet, it is already recorded somewhere forever.
PS: A quick look around Drupal, and there are people there talking about queer things, so might be a good match to see any are keen on being your techie. You can see at https://groups.drupal.org/node/140679
"You don't know you're beautiful." - Harry Styles
Users have the access to "hide" all their posts, making them visible to only members of the site, and invisible to search engines. Like account profiles.
Seems like a waste to keep the site up and running (and it would cost Adrian something to keep hosting it read-only) just for people to be able to log in and see it. I mean, it's up and running now and not enough people log in to use it, what will the traffic be like when there is no new content?
This is all for Adrian to sort out, though.
"You don't know you're beautiful." - Harry Styles
Maybe contact some influential youtube personalities about putting the word out there. Like Hart and some others, im not saying they will definitely help but they are people I listen to. If you want to reach the youth or even people in general that may need this page, I think that would be the way to go. Tre' Melvin, (he does this is a commentary), just came out as bisexual for his New Years Resolution. A lot of people love and look up to him, (including myself).

02.06.06 - By Matt Stein: According to a recent interview at Seconds Out, James Toney is entertaining fight offers from three different heavyweight champions, from Wladimir Klitschko (46-3, 41 KO's), Sergei Liakhovich to Hasim Rahman. However, Toney's promoter, Dan Goosen, prefers for Toney (69-4-3, 43 KO's) to fight the winner of the Hasim Rahman vs. Oleg Maskaev fight for the WBC heavyweight title, which will be taking place on July 29, 2006. Goosen further states that they'll make their decision on who'll they'll be facing following the weekend. That being said, I think I smell fear coming from Toney's direction and I'm starting to expect that Toney will opt out of fighting Wladimir, and choose the easier option of fighting the winner of Rahman - Maskaev, even though he would likely make more money by fighting Wladimir Klitschko, the current IBF heavyweight champion. If the 37-year-old Toney is so confident in his ability, why not risk all and take the bigger fight against Wladimir? Heck, if Wladimir is willing to take the shot, why not Toney? Let me guess: Toney probably saw Wladimir's fight with Chris Byrd and noticed how Wladimir gave Byrd a seven round beating, ending in a TKO. Seeing this brutal one-sided affair, might be giving Toney second thoughts about wanting to fight an offensive machine like Wladimir. Could that be it? Against Hasim Rahman, I scored the fight for Rahman by at least three rounds and felt that Toney was given a gift by receiving a draw. However, in a match with Wladimir, that's a whole different level of a fighter, a more advanced offensive puncher. That's not to say that Rahman can't punch because he has good power. However, Wladimir is a much more devastating puncher, who is capable of knocking an opponent out with every punch. Plus, when you factor in Wladimir's huge height and reach advantage, being that he is 6'6", 244 lbs and is in excellent shape compared to Toney's 5'9" 245 lbs. More importantly, Wladimir, who prefers to fight on the outside, would be beyond the range of Toney's shorter reach, forcing Toney to constantly have to make bull-like charges to try and get inside. As we saw in Wladimir's fight with Samuel Peter, trying to get inside on Wladimir has it's own perils, as when Peter almost had his head knocked off in the 12th when he blindly tried to walk in and got blasted with a perfectly thrown left hook that staggered badly. For me, I can understand it if Toney decides to fight the easier fight, since getting badly beaten up, or worse, knocked out, would be a huge blow to his reputation and ego. To be honest, I don't think Toney could make it 12 rounds with Wladimir, no matter what strategy he uses. As many people know, Toneys noted for his excellent head movement. However, Wladimir is extremely good at picking off a moving target and this tactic would likely turn Toneys head into a moving speed bag, a target Wladimir would pick apart. Let's hope that Toney makes the good choice of choosing to take on Wladimir next, because it would say a lot about him as a fighter and he would win a tremendous amount of respect in the boxing world, as well putting him in the biggest fight of his heavyweight career. Honestly, there's no other heavyweight match out there right now that's bigger than Wladimir vs. Toney. Put it this way, even if Toney loses, he still gains by having made the courageous decision to face someone as talented as Wladimir. Besides that, Toney could always turn around and pick up the pieces and fight for a heavyweight title in another division, possibly against the WBC heavyweight champion, his original plan. What if Toney loses? Sure, it would be humiliating to be beaten to a pulp in front of a world wide audience, but you never know, Toney might win. As was shown in the past by Lamon Brewster, Corrie Sanders and Ross Puritty, Wladimir isnt infallible.

LINCOLN—On Sunday, Aug. 11, during a soccer game at the Abbott sports complex, Union College student Phillipe Oliveira sustained a serious head injury that shattered his temple. According to spectator reports, Oliveira had been playing the goalie position and collided with the knee of another player. He remains in the Critical Care Unit at Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center.
Oliveira, an international student from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, completed Union College's English as a Second Language program in December 2001 and has continued his education in college-level classes at Union in the area of business administration.
"Phillipe has been an outstanding student in every way," said Danielle Opitz, ESL professor at Union College. "When I think of diligent, motivated students who have been in the ESL program, Phillipe is at the top of the list. He is very friendly, spiritually-minded and overall excited about life."
In his year and a half at Union, Oliveira has worked at the campus deli, with the grounds and maintenance staff and at Larson Lifestyle Center as a lifeguard and swimming instructor.
"Phillipe is an excellent guy," said Ric Spaulding, Larson Lifestyle Center director. "He is great with children at the pool—always very patient, energetic, positive and lots of fun."
Since the soccer accident, Union College along with help from Saint Elizabeth's social services department provided airline tickets for Oliveira's family to fly to Lincoln. His father and brother arrived Wednesday morning. The family's financial burden, however, is far from over. With Oliveira's limited student insurance and thousands of miles separating him from home, he and his family are facing significant medical expenses. In addition to a prolonged hospital stay, Oliveira has already had multiple surgeries with the prospect of many more.

Estimating Exchange Rates of Water in Embayments using Simple Budget Equations. part of Quantitative Skills:Activity Collection
Simple budgets may be used to estimate the exchange of water in embayments that capitalize on the concept of steady state and conservation principals. This is especially true for bays that experience a significant exchange of freshwater. This exchange of freshwater may reduce the average salt concentration in the bay compared to seawater if it involves addition of freshwater from rivers, R, and/or precipitation, P. Alternatively, it may increase the average salt concentration in the bay compared to seawater if there is relatively little river input and high evaporation, E. Since freshwater input changes the salt concentration in the bay, and salt is a conservative material, it is possible to combine two steady state budgets for a bay, one for salt and one for water, to solve for the magnitude of the water flows that enter and exit the bay mouth. Students will make actual calculations for the inflow and outflow of water to Puget Sound, Washington and the Mediterranean Sea and compare them to actual measured values.

Fire destroyed a home in Hawaiian Ocean View Estates on Friday, the Hawaii County Fire Department reported.
The owner of the 800-square foot, one-story structure at 92-8924 Paradise Parkway, who was not identified, was standing outside the home when firefighters arrived at 10:02 a.m. Only the front wall of the building was still standing by that time.
The blaze was under control at 11:20 a.m. and out almost two hours later at 1:08 p.m. The nearest fire hydrant was on Lehua Avenue, more than two streets away in the rural subdivision, firefighters said.
A steep uphill driveway led to the building described as the property's main dwelling surrounded by "several small makeshift structures." No injuries were reported but property damage was estimated at $120,000.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Immigration cap for non-EU migrants
The temporary immigration cap introduced by government in July 2010 to restrict inflows of non-EU Migrants has been replaced with a permanent one with effect from 6 April 2011.
The permanent cap still uses the points system, but makes it far less flexible, allowing people in by means of an annual quota, rather than in response to employers' needs.
There is a briefing explaining the implications of the cap to download here (taken from May 2011 edition of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) magazine, People Management).
For up to date information, see the UK Border Agency website: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) -- Springtime temperatures have arrived just in time for Azalea Festival.
"There's not a cloud in the sky. It couldn't be any better," Elizabeth Long said as she enjoyed the warm afternoon.
People all over the county were outside enjoying the nice weather and fresh air today.
"How does it feel guys? Wonderful! It feels wonderful," J.R. Terry said.
From a round of golf, to hanging out at the beach, people all over are embracing the thermometer's spike.
With the Azalea Festival just days away, the Belles are catching spring fever.
"It's like right as spring time comes out, it's like all the flowers are blooming and everyone is like happy, and it's like a really great way to kick off the spring season," Azalea Belle Rachael Caison said during this afternoon's Azalea Belle Tea.
Another way to kick off the spring season is with a green thumb. With the warm weather on its way, there's plenty of time to spend in the yard.
"It's nice to watch things grow, get your hands dirty and make things grow," Justin Taylor said.
Others chose to get dirty at the beach and play in the sand.
"(My children are) mad that they can't get in the water, but you know, it's too cold," April Hardee said.
The people who were not up for a surf or swim Sunday afternoon caught up on some rays.
"I haven't been out here in over a year so I came out here for the nice weather so we could get some tanning going on," Cynthia Shirley said.

Mother of Man Shot By Police Speaks Out
POSTED: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 - 7:25am
UPDATED: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 - 2:26pm
Two Las Cruces Police officers are on administrative leave after shooting an armed suspect, said Sgt. Kiri Daines in a news release.
Officers arrived at a home in the 3000 block of Petunia St. around 4 p.m. after being called out to a domestic dispute, said Daines.
The armed suspect reportedly confronted the officers, said Daines, and that's when the suspect was shot and killed, said Daines.
A multi-agency investigation team is looking into the shooting, said Daines.
According to Daines, the officers had no choice but to use deadly force, as opposed to other force alernatives.

Tired of the same old $10 martinis and BMW key chain-swinging nightclub crowd? Boy, have I got a fun game for you — one guaranteed to put the "hop" back in your bar-hopping.
I call it "dive bar roulette," and it's a little thing I do when the swank sameness of the Scottsdale nightlife scene becomes too much. It's pretty self-explanatory, actually. You simply get together with some friends, pile into a car or taxi and drive around until you find a bar that none of you know anything about.
The joint in question should be seedy-looking and, if possible, windowless. You know, shady. The sort of down-market grog shop that opens at 7 a.m. and lets you pay your tab with payee-endorsed welfare checks.
Like Russian roulette, the notorious game of chance enshrined in Michael Camino's 1978 drama "The Deer Hunter," you never know exactly what you're going to get.
There's always a slight possibility that you could end up like Christopher Walken in the movie — i.e., with various important organs splattered on the wall behind you.
In fact, I've had some meaningful and edifying experiences while spinning dive bar roulette's figurative wheel of chance. A few years ago, a girlfriend and I cruised Seventh Avenue in Phoenix and popped into a place called Misty's. Turns out, it was a lesbian bar. We got some curious looks, sure, but overall it was a welcoming vibe.
The visit ended with an arm-wrestling match between me and a female Army Reservist. See what I mean? That kind of cross-cultural bonding never happens at Devil's Martini.
The problem with playing dive bar roulette in Scottsdale is manifest: There aren't that many dive bars. In fact, a large percentage of the city's home-owning population pays handsomely to ensure that no dive bar comes within umpteen commercial zones of their doorstep. (Yes, Kierlandites, Grayhawkers, I'm talking to you.)
Undeterred, I recently did a round of roulette on the sometimes not-so-fair streets of south Scottsdale, where dive bars are comparatively plentiful. At the risk of spoiling the fun for future rouletters, here are the results:
JJ's Sports Cantina (409 N. Scottsdale Road): Sometimes, one-star hotels offer the best dive bar action, so I take a chance on this grotty little number, located at Hospitality Suites just north of the Red Mountain Freeway. Not bad, not bad. I like that the framed posters feature Arizona Cardinals players who haven't seen a snap since the first Bush administration. And the Chuck E. Cheese-style bowling machine probably predates Pong. Still, the place is a little too well-kempt to achieve true dive status.
Pranksters Too (7919 E. Thomas Road): Jammed into a corner of a cruddy strip mall just off Hayden Road, this cavernous sports bar has all the outward symptoms of a classic dive — cheap beer, low-rent neighbors and no shortage of sullen solitary drinkers. But it also has multiple flat-screen TVs, live music and cute girls. Bleh. I'll go to Sky Bar if I want cute girls. Time for another spin ...
El Dorado Bar and Grill (8708 E. McDowell Road): Backtracking down Hayden, I find this dirty gem. As any schoolboy knows, El Dorado is the mythical city of gold hunted in vain by Spanish conquistadors. Well, if there was ever any gold in this El Dorado, it was loaded onto a flatbed and replaced with moldy, buckling ceiling panels and a nicotine-stained lady bartender who looks like Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood in a blond wig. It's karaoke night, and a chunky brunette with a Dorothy Parker bob is strangling the high notes of "Talking in Your Sleep" like they were defenseless kittens
As they say, eureka.
Of course, the "roulette" portion of dive bar roulette has a completely different connotation if you fail to elect a designated driver. But don't fret — this is the kind of bar-hopping that makes being sober less sobering.

Special to The Hays Daily News
SALINA -- With weather threatening the Salina Speedway most of the week racing got down to business on Friday night April 13 for night one of the Spring Fling. The violent severe weather forecasted for Saturday meant the second day of the event was cancelled, therefore crowning Champions on the first night.
Jeremy Mills made the trip earlier in the week to pick up a new car from headlining sponsor of the IMCA Modifieds, Belleville Motorsports, and put it in Victory Lane in its first race. Reigning track champion Danny Morrison Jr. started from the pole position but was quickly challenged by Mills and Corey Lagroon. Morrison began falling back and eventually out with mechanical problems, leaving Mills and Lagroon to square off up front. At times the two leaders battled side by side during the 25 lap feature event, with Lagroon briefly taking the lead before a caution bunched up the field and put Mills back in front. Lagroon challenged repeatedly but ran out of time with Mills crossing the finish line first, followed by Lagroon, Troy Johnson, Mike Petersilie, and Nate Moore. Rodger Peck, Mills, and Lagroon won the heat races earlier in the night.
With only a dozen cars in the pits Beatrice's Kyle Vanover stole the show in the Coors Light IMCA Stock Car division. Vanover started seventh but quickly worked his way to the lead and eventual win to claim his second "Fling" Championship in the last two events. Eric Rempel began reeling in Vanover towards the finish but settled for second, followed by Nolan Remus, Jim Powell Jr., and Justin Murdock. Austin Carter and Vanover won the heat races.
Dustin Daniels looked to be the man to beat in the Xtreme Motorsports IMCA Northern SportMod feature until Jeremy Chambers caught up late in the race. The feature was plagued with cautions due to lost springs and suspension components but when the dust settled Chambers had worked past Daniels for the win and the champion's loot. Daniels finished second, followed by Seth Schroer, Dan Smith, and Brian Fink. Tyler Frye, Chambers, and Daniels won the heat races.
The Budweiser IMCA Hobby Stocks put on a wild race for their 20 lap feature. GW Fuller worked his way into the lead but was hounded quickly by Roy Armstrong. The two made contact entering turn 1 near the halfway point, sending Armstrong to the pits for rough driving and Fuller to pit road to change a flat. Pete Beaumont then took over and had to hold off three wide challenges from a number of drivers to end up in Victory Lane. Brian Stich would finish second, Tony Slothower third, Mark Normandin fourth, and Jake Hedlund fifth. Fuller and Hedlund won the heat races.
Braden Stoner, one of the youngest drivers in the T&R Dirt Construction Mini Stock division, showed great skill in capturing the win in the division, his first at the Speedway. Stoner held on while Stacey Fuller finished second, Dallas Dunn third, Rooster Rice fourth, and David Heil fifth. Wade Heller and Brendon Thiessen won the heat races.
The regular season opens next Saturday night April 20 with the return of the Friesen Chevrolet Late Model division on a bi-weekly basis. Joining them will be the Belleville Motorsports IMCA MOdifieds, Coors Light IMCA Stock Cars, Xtreme Motorsports IMCA Northern SportMods, Budweiser IMCA Hobby Stocks, and T&R Dirt Construction Mini Stocks. Race time is set for 8PM.

The prevalence rate of autism has been reported as 0.04% to 0.05%, but one recent study in Japan found prevalence of 0.16%. The authors have been involved in routine well-child medical examinations at 18 months of age, at the Midori Public Health Center in Nagoya. A statistical survey of diagnoses was made from April 1979 to March 1984 for the purpose of conducting an epidemiological study of autism. Of 12,263 children examined, 168 were identified as having developmental problems and, of these, 139 underwent a second examination. Autism was diagnosed in 16 of these children and a category called "autism suspected" was defined in an additional 10 of these 139 children. The 16 cases of autism gave a minimum prevalance of 0.13%, three times the usually reported rate. The validity of the higher prevalence rates is discussed.

Feb 11, 2010 - Whole-breast irradiation spread over fewer days (accelerated, hypofractionated radiation) following breast-conserving surgery for cancer appears non-inferior to standard radiation treatment, according to research published in the Feb. 11 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. This adds to a study recently released Online First in The Lancet Oncology, which showed that hypofractionated radiotherapy for breast cancer patients may provide a better quality of life with no evidence of an increase in adverse effects.

In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Brian Fargo, the boss at inXile Entertainment, the developer of Wasteland 2, has hailed Valve as the "savior of the PC" due to their efforts in making digital distribution such a success.
"They're the saviours of the PC as far as I'm concerned," Fargo told Eurogamer in an interview about Steam Early Access title Wasteland 2. He goes further to say, "They've been great. You think about where we all were, kind of in the dark ages, when there was nothing. There was just flash. There was no digital distribution. They've opened up a way to get directly to the audience in a way that isn't politicised, or forces us to do exclusives or all the other things the console guys do."
The console guys "put all sorts of guns to our head", according to Fargo. "It used to be with Xbox, just until very recently, you couldn't have an Xbox Live Arcade publishing license unless you had a retail product. What did that have to do with anything?
"Valve has all this power but they don't wield it. They let us all work in an open system. So for that I can't say enough good things about them."
Fargo has been working with Valve for Steam's Early Access program for their dream project Wasteland 2. Wasteland is the fore father of the cult classic Fallout series. Although Wasteland was a runaway success, they never could publish Wasteland 2 due to publisher demands. Though they did develop Fallout which became an instant hit too. Now thanks to Steam and Early Access, they are finally able to publish their dream project. Fargo is a strong believer in Steam's Early Access model and believes that it will become refined over time as people become more involved in the process and thus passively sculpt the games that they will end up playing.

They call it the Gauntlet for a reason. It's a track where real automotive combat goes down. Cars break, wreck, catch fire, and only the strong survive. By the time the event is wrapped up, the track looks like a mini war zone / junk yard. Parts are everywhere. The rails are bent, tire pieces everywhere, broken bumpers, wings, etc. Even the media guys and some fans don't leave un harmed (sun burn). This years Formula Drift round 4 at Wall Speedway was no exception. [click to continue…]
Formula Drift Miami. My title for Round 3 was crew for Nate Hamilton. My duties involved changing tires, mechanical work on the car, and working on pit lane ensuring that the car was ready to run. Due to the track layout, pit lane only offered a view of cars launching from grid, initiating drift, and quickly disappearing from view around the first corner. This means I would be seeing minimal drifting this weekend. Although this doesn't sound ideal, I have learned that grid is an exciting world of its own that not many get insight into. Words by Max Fuerst Photos by Corey Denomy
Formula Drift Atlanta has always held the reputation of being a high energy event. Not only did Round 2 fulfill this stigma, it went beyond these expectations in every way. The fans, weather, and driving were all absolutely insane.
We had the chance to take a few shots of Chris' Speed Factory S2000 Formula Drift Car this past weekend. Chris was not able to get the car running in time for round 1 but we're looking forward to seeing this S2k at Road Atlanta! He calibrated with Speed Factory this year, who is known for 1000+ hp drag racing Honda's, so we can't wait to see how it squares up against those V8's. I'm sure Chris will have the huge Honda fan base cheering him on throughout the season. Awesome to see a Honda back in FD – We're also stoked on those blue wheels – 18×9.5 Enkei NT03+M custom powder coated blue wrapped in Falken tires! Check out the photos and spec list after the jump! Feel free to share them with your friends.
We had the chance to have another one of Janet's amazing cars in our WMD Formula Drift tent this past weekend! Last year, we featured her AE86 coupe. This time we had the pleasure of having this pristine 1985 Toyota Corolla GT-S AE86 Hatch! Thanks again to everyone who stopped by to check out this amazing piece of machinery! More pics and specs after the jump!
Michael Essa scored almost a perfect run during qualifying Friday afternoon in Long Beach, California! Essa earned a 97 (out of 100 points). The 2013 champ came out swinging – let's see who finishes on the podium tomorrow! Top 32 begins at 11am Saturday – gates open at 10 am. See you there! – WMD

You might then decide to proceed to the mass download of HITACHI HTS545050B9A300 ATA DEVICE DRIVER and every one of the other Hitachi drivers, or simply make use of the brands of the bad Hitachi drivers presented in the list, and just download each one yourselves, manually.
