Looking to broaden Chevrolet's green horizons, General Motors global product overlord Mark Reuss says a new EV is in the works, one that will join the Spark EV and the Volt. And just as TTAC reported earlier this year, the new vehicle will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic.
Tag: Mark Reuss
Now that Cadillac and 50 of its B&B have packed up and moved out of Detroit for the American hustle of New York, what do those closest to the brand have to say about the move? General Motors product boss Mark Reuss has a couple of cents to spare.
General Motors global product development chief Mark Reuss revealed Tuesday that Cadillac will press ahead with an F-segment sedan built upon a new platform.
The Chevrolet Corvette may be outselling all of Porsche's sports car models combined, but GM will still sell fewer Corvettes this year than the number of Chevy Cruzes they are likely to sell this month. You might think that one of General Motors' lowest volume cars could not contribute much to the company's bottom line, but the success of the 7th generation Corvette will mean hundreds of millions of dollars more in profit this year for the automaker. (Read More…)
In today's General Motors digest: An ignition-related issue is quietly fixed years before the February 2014 recall; a Chinese supplier is blamed for defective switches recalled in June; Ally prepares to take flight from the Beltway; and Mark Reuss helps bring back a Corvette stolen 33 years ago.
Automotive News reports former General Motors CEO Dan Akerson proclaimed in an interview with Forbes magazine that current CEO Mary Barra had no knowledge of the out-of-spec ignition switch that led to the February 2014 recall of 2.6 million vehicles, going as far as to bet his own life on the statement. Barra added the fallout from the recall is a chance for GM to not only "do the right thing and serve the customer well through" the crisis, but "to accelerate cultural change" within the company. Akerson passed the torch to Barra in December 2013 to take time to care for his ailing wife, and has since rejoined Carlyle Group as vice chairman on its board of directors.
Automotive News reports General Motors' recall parade could, according to Barclays Capital analyst Brian Johnson, last well into the middle of the summer season. The data mining conducted by the automaker's team of 60 safety investigators on 10 sources reporting potential problems — including consumer complaints and reports from its dealership network — will likely bring more recall requests before GM's senior executives. Johnson adds that the investigators are working on likely defects on a per-issue basis instead of per-vehicle, which may mean a number of vehicles will be called back multiple times as the recall parade marches on; he also notes that its hard to discern if recalls of past vehicles have already peaked.
The Detroit News reports U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos delivered a six-page ruling in favor of General Motors, saving the automaker from issuing a "park it now" order that would have proved costly both financially and in reputation. Had the order gone forward, it would have set a precedent that not even the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration could attempt in its limited penalty power. The attorney representing the plaintiffs in the lawsuit for the order, Robert Hilliard, may appeal.
Automotive News posits an earlier recall would have prevented a majority of fatalities tied to the 2005 – 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt's ignition switch. According to their research, seven of the eight deaths occurred after April of 2006, when the improved switch was quietly introduced into the supply stream; one of the four fatalities linked to 2003 – 2007 Saturn Ions was found to have occurred after the April 2006 improved part introduction, as well.
Among other findings, only one of the eight Cobalt fatalities did not factor alcohol or seat belts into the equation, two of the eight deaths — one under "Old GM," one under "New GM" — led to lawsuits that were settled prior to the February 2014 recall, and that some of the families found in their research never had any contact with the automaker.
Should General Motors new product boss Mark Reuss have his way, there may come a day when a new affordable wagon could be driven off the lot onto the highways and driveways of America.

groups.drupal.org frontpage posts: GCI 2014 Wrap Up and GSoC 2015 Kick Off
Congratulations to Google Code-In Winners
Did you know Drupal recently participated in Google's Code-In contest for high school students aged 13-17 and they contributed over one hundred tasks? For example, did you see the Drupal 8 Installation Guide @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bthkQCkrH30 or the following video on how to create modules for Drupal 8 @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEIUbFoAg0I ? Maybe you plan to use this event template at next user group meetup @ https://groups.drupal.org/node/453328. Learn more about Drupal's GCI efforts from Google @ http://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2014. These students also contributed to lots of contrib modules such as FB Like Button, Login Destination, Scroll to Top etc. Most importantly it is exciting to note that Drupal gained several Drupal 8 core contributors under the age of 18.
Although we value the contributions of all the GCI participants but since this was a contest, there has to be winners. We are proud to announce our grand prize winners: Getulio Valentin Sanchez Ozuna (gvso: https://www.drupal.org/u/gvso) and Tasya Aditya Rukmana (tadityar: https://www.drupal.org/u/tadityar) who'll be attending an all expense paid trip to Google HQ in Mountain View California.
Google Summer of Code 2015 Announcement
GCI was fun, but now it is time for Google Summer of Code 2015 @ http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2015. GSoC is an annual program for university students organized by Google with projects managed by open source organization mentors such as us (Drupal!). Are you or any colleagues available to be a mentor and/or provide a project idea?

Chromatic: Automated Servers and Deployments with Ansible & Jenkins
In a previous post, Dave talked about marginal gains and how, in aggregate, they can really add up. We recently made some infrastructure improvements that I first thought would be marginal, but quickly proved to be rather significant. We started leveraging Ansible for server creation/configuration and Jenkins to automate our code deployments.
We spend a lot of time spinning up servers, configuring them and repeatedly deploying code to them. As a Drupal-focused shop, this process can get repetitive very quickly. The story usually goes something like this:
- Project begins
- Dev/Staging server(s) built from scratch (usually on Linode)
- Install Ubuntu
- Install Apache
- Install PHP
- Install MariaDB
- Install Git
- Install Drush
- Install Redis, etc.
- Deploy project codebase from GitHub
- Development happens
- Pull Requests opened, reviewed, merged
- Manually login to server via SSH, git pull
- More development happens
- Pull Requests opened, reviewed, merged
- Manually login to server via SSH, git pull
- and so on…
All of this can be visualized in a simple flowchart:
Development Workflow VisualizedThis story is repeated over and over. New client, new server new deployments. How does that old programmer's adage go? "Don't Repeat Yourself?" Well, we finally got around to doing something about all of this server configuration and deployment repetition nonsense. We configured a Jenkins server to automatically handle our deployments and created Ansible roles and playbooks to easily spin up and configure new servers (specifically tuned for Drupal) at will. So now our story looks something like this:
Development Workflow Visualized w/Ansible & Jenkins What is Ansible?"Ansible is an IT automation tool. It can configure systems, deploy software, and orchestrate more advanced IT tasks such as continuous deployments or zero downtime rolling updates."
Sounds like voodoo magic doesn't it? Well, I'm here to tell you it isn't, that it works, and that you don't have to be a certified sysadmin to use it. Though you may need one to set it all up for you. The basic premise is that you create "playbooks" to control your remote servers. These can be as complex as a set of steps to build a LAMP server up from scratch (see below), or as simple as a specific configuration that you wish to enforce. Typically, playbooks are made up of "roles". Roles are "reusable abstractions" as their docs page explains. You might have roles for installing Apache, adding Git, or adding a group of user's public keys. String your roles together in a YAML file and that's a playbook. Have a look at the official Ansible examples GitHub repo to see some real life examples.
Automate Server Creation/Configuration with AnsibleWe realized we were basically building the same Drupal-tuned servers over and over. While the various steps for this process are well documented, doing the actual work takes loads of time, is prone to error and really isn't all that fun. Ansible to the rescue! We set out to build a playbook that would build a LAMP stack up from scratch, with all the tools we use consistently across all of our projects. Here's an example playbook:
- Consistent server environments: Adding additional servers to your stack is a piece of cake and you can be sure each new box will have the same exact configuration.
- Quickly roll out updates: Update your playbook and rerun against the affected servers and each will get the update. Painless.
- Add-on components: Easily tack on custom server components like Apache Solr by adding a single line to a server's playbook.
- Allow your ops team to focus on real problems: Developers can quickly create servers without needing to bug your ops guys about how to compile PHP or install Drush, allowing them to focus on higher priority tasks.
"Jenkins is an award-winning application that monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron."
Think of Jenkins as a very well-trained, super organized, exceptionally good record-keeping ops robot. Train Jenkins a job once and Jenkins will repeat it over and over to your heart's content. Jenkins will keep records of everything and will let you know should things ever go awry.
Deploy Code Automatically with JenkinsHere's the rundown of how we're currently using Jenkins to automatically deploy code to our servers:
- Jenkins listens for changes to master via the Jenkins Github Plugin
- When changes are detected, Jenkins automatically kicks off a deployment by SSHing into our box and executing our standard deployment commands:
- cd /var/www/yourProject/docroot/
- git pull
- drush updb -y
- drush fra -y
- drush cc all
- Build statuses are reported to Slack via the Slack Notification Plugin
Here's a full view of a configuration page for a deployment job:
The biggest benefit here is saving time. No more digging for SSH credentials. No more trying to remember where the docroot is on this machine. No more of the, "I can't access that server, Bob usually handles…" nonsense. Jenkins has access to the server, Jenkins knows where the docroot is, and Jenkins runs the exact same deployment code every single time. The other huge win here, at least for me personally, is that it takes the worry out of deployments. Setting it up right the first time means a project lifetime of known workflow/deployments. No more worrying about if pushing the button breaks all the things.
What else is great about using Jenkins to deploy your code? Here's some quick hits:
- Historical build data: Jenkins stores a record of every deployment. Should a deploy fail, you can see exactly when things broke down and why. Jenkins records everything that happened in a Console Output tab.
- Empower non server admins: Jenkins users can login to Jenkins and kick off manual deployments or jobs at the push of a button. They don't need to know how to login via ssh or even how to run a single command from the command line.
- Enforce Consistent Workflow: By using Jenkins to deploy your code you also end up enforcing consistent workflow. In our example, drush will revert features on every single deployment. This means that devs can't be lazy and just switch things in production. Those changes would be lost on the next deploy!
- Status Indicators across projects: The Jenkins dashboard shows a quick overview of all of your jobs. There's status of the last build, an aggregated "weather report" of the last few builds, last build duration, etc. Super useful.
- Slack Integration: You can easily configure jobs to report statuses back to Slack. We have ours set to report to each project channel when a build begins and when it succeeds or fails. Great visibility for everyone on the project.
- Automate scheduled tasks (like Drupal's cron, mass emailing, report generation, etc.)
- Run automated tests
Both of these tools have done wonders for our workflow. While there was certainly some up-front investment to get these built out, the gains on the back end have been tremendous. We've gained control of our environments and their creation. We've taken the worry and the repetition out of our deployments. We've freed up our developers to focus on the work at hand. Our clients are getting their code sooner. Our team members are interrupted less often. Win after win after win. If you're team is facing similar, consider implementing one or both of these tools. You're sure to see similar results.
Drupal Watchdog: Contributing to Open Source Projects
Drupal is one of the largest and most successful open source projects, and much of our success is due to the vibrant and thriving community of contributors who make the platform what it is – the individuals who help put on Drupal Conferences and events, the documentation writers, the designers and usability experts, the developers who help write the software, and countless others.
Participating in open source communities is a rewarding experience that will help you advance and develop, both personally and professionally. Through participation, you gain an opportunity to learn from your peers. You are constantly challenged and exposed to new and interesting ideas, perspectives, and opinions. You are not only learning the current best practices, you are also helping develop innovative new solutions, which will improve the tools in your arsenal and take your career to the next level – not to mention contributing to your personal growth. (One of the five Drupal core committers for Drupal 8, Angie Byron got her start only a few years ago – as a student in the Google Summer of Code – and has rapidly advanced her skills and career through open source participation.)
Participation gives you significantly better insight and awareness. By attending Drupal events and engaging online, you place yourself in a better position to understand and leverage the solutions that are already available, know where and how to find those solutions, and have a clearer sense of how you can leverage them to achieve your goals. With this knowledge and experience you become capable of executing faster and more efficiently than your peers who don't engage.
Code Karate: Drupal 7 Options Element: A quicker way to add radio and checkbox options
We kept things simple for this episode of the DDoD. The options element module uses Javascript to create an easy way to create radio button and checkbox options for fields on a Drupal content type. Before this module you had to add key|value for each options you wanted. Using this module the key and value is broken down into two fields making it easier to distinguish the difference.

In 2014 I got in contact with many other Drupal shops. We had lots of great discussions about the future of Drupal, the future of ERPAL and the industries other than publishing that could definitely take advantage of Drupal. What with all the new ideas and results from these personal contacts, I want to take a little time now to make the ERPAL roadmap in 2015 more transparent to you. All our activities in 2015 will align with our vision to make Drupal – via the ERPAL distributions – into the most flexible web-based framework available for business applications.
In some of my previous blog posts and the Drupal application module stack poster, I've shown why I think Drupal has all the components needed for flexible business applications.
As we're almost done with the development work to release a first beta version of ERPAL Platform, the next steps need to be planned out. In 2015 we'll focus on the following six roadmap activities:
- 1) Teach other developers how to develop business applications with Drupal
- 2) Port ERPAL Platform to Drupal 8
- 3) Start our development partner network
- 4) Promote Drupal business applications and industry use cases done by the community
- 5) Release the Drupal update automation service, "Drop Guard"
- 6) Provide cloud app integration for ERPAL Platform
What, exactly, do these roadmap steps mean? Here are the details on each one:
Teach other developers how to develop business applications with Drupal
Modeling business processes and implementing them in software isn't an easy job. Over the last three years, we've discovered many best practices for analyzing processes and using Drupal for business applications; we want to share these with the Drupal community, so we'll release more screencasts and blogposts covering the most important ones. Sticking to best practices like using a combination of rules, entities, fields, feeds, views, and commerce modules – all modules that can be extended easily with custom plugins – will keep Drupal applications flexible, extendible and maintainable.
Port ERPAL Platform to Drupal 8
Our goal is to have a first alpha release of ERPAL Platform ready six months after Drupal 8 has been released. Since there's currently no reliable roadmap for the first Drupal 8 release, we can't announce a fixed deadline. We've already started porting ERPAL Core to bring flexible resource planning to Drupal 8, but we do depend on the Drupal commerce roadmap for Drupal 8, which contains many improvements to the overall architecture of Drupal commerce. As soon as there's a stable beta release of Drupal commerce, we'll continue with our port of ERPAL Platform based on Drupal commerce 2.x.
Start our development partner network
In 2015 we'll start our development partner program, building a network of qualified Drupal developers and shops who focus on the quality and flexibility of Drupal applications. Our development partners will benefit from our support in their projects as well as from new business opportunities stemming from our corporate marketing promoting them. For Drupal, this means more people striving to bring Drupal into other industries and increase its application range. This strategic goal is tightly related to the first roadmap activity, teach other Drupal developers to build business applications with Drupal.
Promote Drupal business applications and industry case studies created by the community
Two extremely important facts that I realized at Drupalcon in Amsterdam 2014 were
- 1) that almost everyone agreed that Drupal is a better application framework than a CMS
- 2) that it's perfectly suited for business applications because it's open, flexible and can be integrated with other enterprise legacy software
What's missing, however, are public project references with case studies showing potential clients the power of Drupal – not only for content sites but also for business applications in different industries and their integrations. With this promotion, we want to help our partners grow their business in this market while simultaneously increasing Drupal's uptake in other vertical markets.
Release the Drupal update automation service, "Drop Guard"
The technology to automate Drupal updates, and security updates in particular, has already been in use for more than 2.5 years at Bright Solutions. We realized with Drupalgeddon that Drupal security updates are business critical: they need to be applied within minutes after their release! This year we want to launch Drop Guard as a service for Drupal developers to help shops and agencies keep their clients' sites secured – automatically. The service will integrate with their CI deployment processes and help Drupal avoid the negative press of hacked sites. If you want to know how it actually works in our internal infrastructure and how it's integrated with ERPAL, read my previous blog post.
Provide cloud app integration for ERPAL Platform
With ERPAL for Service Providers we created a Drupal distribution that gives service providers a centralized, web-based platform for managing all their business processes within one tool. The Drupal distribution, ERPAL Platform, provides Drupal users and site builders with a pre-configured distribution to build flexible business applications based on Drupal commerce and other flexible contrib modules. Since ERPAL Platform implements the full sales process – starting with first contact and sales activity; quotes, orders and invoicing; all the way through to reports – and a slim project controlling feature, we want to let users extend this solution easily and with the best vertical cloud tools out there. Via this solution, ERPAL Platform can integrate with cloud apps such as Jira, Trello, Mite, Redmine, Basecamp, Toggle and many others. This has the benefit that users can use ERPAL Platform as their central business process and controlling application while their project collaboration is supported by specialized platforms. The clear advantage is that agencies will save lots of time in project controlling and administration, as many processes can be automated across all integrated applications. Using Drupal as their centralized platform, they remain flexible and agile in their business development.
What about the roadmap for ERPAL for Service Providers?
ERPAL for Service Providers is currently very stable and is already being used by more than 30 of our known customers at Bright Solutions. We will continue to maintain this distribution, fix bugs and give support to all users. During the lifecycle of Drupal 8, we'll port ERPAL for Service Providers to be based on ERPAL Platform. So, in the future, ERPAL Platform will be the base distribution for building a vertical use case for service providers.

Read moreSitePoint PHP Drupal: Push your Drupal Site's Events to your Phone with Pushover
In this article I am going to show you how you can integrate Pushover with your Drupal site. I will illustrate a couple of examples of how you can use Pushover to notify yourself as soon as something happens on your site.
The code I write in this article is also available in this repository so you can just clone that if you want to follow along.
What is Pushover?Pushover is a web and mobile application that allows you to get real time notifications on your mobile device. The way it works is that you install an app on your Android or Apple device and using a handy API you can send that app notifications. The great thing about this is that it happens more or less in real time (depending on your internet connection) as Pushover uses the Google and Apple servers to send the notifications.
The price is also very affordable. At a rate of $4.99 USD per platform (Android, Apple or desktop) paid only once, you can use it on any number of devices under that platform. And you also get a 5 day trial period for free the moment you create your account.
What am I doing here?In this article I am going to set up a Pushover application and use it from my Drupal site to notify my phone of various events. I will give you two example use cases that Pushover can be handy with:
- Whenever an anonymous user posts a comment that awaits administrative approval, I'll send a notification to my phone
- Whenever the admin user 1 logs into the site, I'll send an emergency notification to my phone (useful if you are the only user of that admin account).
Naturally, these are examples and you may not find them useful. But they only serve as illustration of the power you can have by using Pushover.

As you might be knowing, Drupal recently participated in Google Code-In 2014, which is a contest for high school students aged 13-17. We received great participation from students all around the world and they heavily contributed to Drupal during past couple of months. I served as one of the organization administrators for Drupal and had the wonderful opportunity to mentor these students and watch their transformation from complete newbies to Core contributors.
Tons of Core issues worked upon, lots of documentation created/updated and a bunch of modules ported - yes, that's what GCI meant for Drupal. For a more comprehensive list, you can look at the complete lists of tasks on Melange. Although all the participants did great, there are a few who stood apart from the others.
Getulio Sanchez (gvso) [Grand Prize Winner]. Among other tasks, he ported a bunch of interesting modules to Drupal 8 - FB Like Button, Login Destination, Administer Users by Role, Delete All to name a few. He also writes about his experience with Drupal in GCI and also why he chose Drupal on his blog: https://conocimientoplus.wordpress.com/2015/02/07/what-google-code-in-an.... Its a good read especially for students who're interested in working with Drupal in GCI/GSoC.
Tasya Rukmana (tadityar) [Grand Prize Winner]. She rocked the Core issue queue and went on to become 2500th Core contributor (Albeit it was sheer luck, it was a nice motivation for her any way):
#Drupal 8 now has over 2500 contributors! Congratulations tadityar https://t.co/T2PdgbML0a on becoming the 2500th D8 contributor on Dec. 9.

Read more about her experience on her blog post: http://tadityar.web.id/2015/02/04/my-google-code-in-experience-with-drupal/.
Akshay Kalose (akshaykalsoe) [Runner up]. Besides reviewing some of the GSoC 2104 projects and contributing to the issue queue, his most important task was to Set up a Drupal 8 installation using Load Balancing(using HAProxy) and you can read more about this on his blog post: http://www.kalose.net/oss/drupal-8-rdf-ui-schema-org-mappings/.
Our other two finalists were: Ilkin Musaev (Polonium) and Mark Klein (areke) who also did great.
Congratulations to all the finalists and prize winners!
Welcome Google Summer of Code 2015While was GCI was a lot of fun, its over now. To keep the momentum going, we've decided to apply as an organization into GSoC again. To stay tuned for further updates regarding GSoC, join our discussion group here: https://groups.drupal.org/google-summer-code. If you or any of your friends/colleagues have an idea and/or want to mentor a project in GSoC 2015, please add that information to our GSoC 2015 Task Organization wiki.
We'd like to apply with at least 30 solid ideas and the deadline is 20th February (which is about 8-9 days from now), please add your ideas before 18th February, so that we've some time to review them before we submit them to Google. Even if you're not available as a mentor, please share the ideas page (https://groups.drupal.org/node/455978) to help make Drupal more AWESOME for everyone.
If you've any issues/doubts, feel free to contact me or Matthew Lechleider (Slurpee) or directly either via our contact page or via comments below. You can also ask any questions on our IRC channel: #drupal-google on Freenode.
For Students: where to startAll the instructions that you need are documented here: https://www.drupal.org/node/2415225 but following is a short summary of most important stuff.
If you're a student reading this post, the first thing that you need to do is join our GSoC discussion group. Also, feel free to hangout on our IRC channel: #drupal-google.

Amazee Labs: First Day of DrupalCon Latin America
It is awesome to be here! Everything was well prepared and we were very warmly welcomed.
The 200-300 attendees come from everywhere - there is a good portion of people from the US, from Europe and of course many Latin Americans from all over the continent. It's a unique and really fascinating mix of Drupalistas.
It started off with the introduction by Holly. Multilinguality is not only in core of D8 but also in core of the Drupal Association: Holly kick-off in fabulous spanish!
More multilingual features of the Con are the real-time translations of talks in Portuguese and Spanish. And of course the entire organization team bridges the gap between the Latinos and the rest of the world.
A highlight of the day was the keynote of Dries. User experience will always win is his credo. Dries predicted for the next 10 to 20 years that the user experience will change from pull to push. Personal, aggregated and situation-based services such as Google Now will be predominant and push useful information to us.
I personally like the talks of Larry Garfield about Design Systems a lot and also Andy Kucharski's talk about measuring support and client relationships.
Both talks are already online and fotos can be found on our flickr page.
We are excited for day 2! Hasta Luego

Modules Unraveled: 130 Building Sites with Drush Recipes and Profile Builder with Bryan Ollendyke - Modules Unraveled Podcast
- What is Profiler Builder?
- Profiler Builder was created cause I'm lazy and wanted to just build a site, then figure out the profile, not build both at the same time. My work on profiler builder started to lead me toward the notion that install profiles and distributions can be more of a pain then they are worth, hence recipes.
- Is there anything that Profiler Builder doesn't catch?
- How are you using Profiler Builder?
- What is the Drush Recipes plugin
- Drush Recipes is a series of drush calls chained together in a lightweight command-file, similar to chef and it's recipes / roles structure.
- Why do this instead of just using standard drush calls?
- You might need to mess around w/ it to get a sense of some of the things you can do with it since it's a lot more then just chain automation as it supports branching path logic, automatic recipe authoring, drush commandline recording to author recipes, the ability to take two sites and engineer the difference between them (as drush calls), remote loading of recipes, etc.
- I use TextExpander to do this, so I just type a shortcut, and my commands are filled in. How is using Drush Recipes different?
- Use cases for this?
- First-time site builds
- Development/Testing
- drush ddt
- drup
- dvr

Web Wash: Control Breadcrumbs using Path Breadcrumbs in Drupal 7
Implementing breadcrumbs in Drupal can be difficult depending on your requirements. Drupal out of the box will generate a breadcrumb based off the menu structure, however, things start to get a little tricky when you want to modify breadcrumbs.
There are a lot of modules that allow you to control breadcrumbs in their own unique way. To name a few you have Crumbs, Custom Breadcrumbs and more.
The module that I've had the most success with is the Path Breadcrumbs. This module offers great flexibility with an easy to use interface. Path Breadcrumbs' configuration can also be exported using Features which is another huge win.

Fans, drivers thrilled with the dirt
Following truck qualifying for the Mudsummer Classic, Tony Stewart left his perch atop the infield concession stand.
He hadn't moved 10 feet from the bottom step Wednesday night when the Eldora Speedway track owner was approached by another grateful fan.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," the patron exclaimed, just another satisfied customer thrilled by NASCAR's returned to its dirt track roots to a standing room-only crowd after a 43-year absence.
"If I had a dollar for every time somebody said 'thank you' in the last 48 hours, we'd be able to pay the purse again," Stewart said. "It's been amazing how many drivers and crew members came up and said, 'This is cool.' I don't know what the financials will be on this deal, but I don't care. To me, to see everybody have a good time, that was worth it."
Once the fireworks ended with victor Austin Dillon hoisting his golden shovel, Stewart was still beaming. The inaugural Mudsummer Classic delivered beyond his expectations.
"I don't know how we could have asked for more tonight, to be honest," Stewart said. "To watch drivers and teams that had never been here before in a five-and-a-half hour period have 20 trucks on the lead lap after 55 laps. We run the World 500 here and have 26 cars and by Lap 54, we don't have 20 cars on the lead lap. So it absolutely amazes me the depth of talent of drivers and crew guys to come to a discipline that's totally different to all of them and to come out and do what they did."
Stewart credited Goodyear with creating a tire that conformed to the dirt surface over the course of 5,751 laps of practice followed by qualifying heats, modified races and a last-chance shootout race for the trucks.
"For a dirt track not to have rubber laid down at that point is a miracle," he said. "It made it grippy in the main (event), but it made it to where the racing was even better."
Throughout the race — and particularly the final 40-lap segment followed by a green-white-checker finish — drivers were racing three-wide on the top while others used the bottom for position.
NASCAR was impressed with the show as well. NASCAR president Mike Helton, who acknowledged he attended the event "as a fan more than anything" was not only thrilled with the quality of racing, but was encouraged by the "level of excitement" the Mudsummer Classic generated.
"It gives us, NASCAR, and motorsports in general, an opportunity to show dirt track racing to the world," Helton said on the SPEED broadcast. "There's going to be a lot of fans watching tonight's race who will learn an awful lot about (dirt-track racing). … So it's fun.
"I wanted to see this race here. I compliment Tony (Stewart) on keeping Eldora, this facility, going, elevating it and doing what he's done in giving us the opportunity to bring the Truck Series."
Although there has been speculation the Mudsummer Classic was testing the waters for additional midweek racing and the possibility of the Nationwide Series or even Sprint Cup racing on dirt in the future, Helton and other NASCAR officials were cautious with their predictions while gauging the overall success of the race.
"How far that goes, we'll have to wait and see," he said. "What makes tonight very special is the fact that it is a combination of Wednesday night racing on a dirt track, which has been a long-time coming from a lot of our fans who requested it. So, (the Mudsummer Classic) is very unique, and that's what makes it special. What the future holds? We'll see, but I know (it's) something everybody is going to check off and say that was a historic moment."
Quite possibly one of the coolest races I have ever attended!! #mudsummerclassic http://t.co/VdbtCCYwlM
— Justin Allgaier (@J_Allgaier) July 25, 2013
5 — Trucks that missed the 30-driver Mudsummer Classic field.
12 — The place Jared Landers (Clint Bowyer's dirt driver) finished in his NASCAR debut.
$28,375 — Austin Dillon's first-place winnings.
When Turner Scott Motorsports co-owner Steve Turner was asked whether the rumors of his partner Harry Scott's purchase of Phoenix Racing have been a distraction of late, he replied, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Web Worm Spreads, Slows Google Searches
washingtonpost.com Staff Writer Monday, July 26, 2004; 5:45 PM
A new computer virus caused some of the Internet's most popular search engines, including Google, to be temporarily unavailable to users on Monday. The virus, the latest version of the "MyDoom" worm, is programmed to scour infected computers and search engine sites for e-mail addresses where it can send itself. Users who encountered problems trying to conduct searches on Google received a message that said "Server Error: The service you requested is not available at this time." Efforts to conduct searches on other several other engines resulted in blank pages. "The Google search engine experienced slowness for a short period of time early today because of the MyDoom virus, which flooded major search engines with automated searches. A small percentage of our users and networks that have the MyDoom virus have been affected for a longer period of time," company officials said in an e-mailed statement. "At no point was the Google Web site significantly impaired, and service for all users and networks is expected to be restored shortly." The new MyDoom variant, known as "MyDoom.m" and "MyDoom.o," began circulating on the same day that Google disclosed the estimated price of its shares in advance of its planned initial public stock offering. Yahoo spokeswoman Joanna Stevens said the company's search engine experienced "some limited issues" as a result of the MyDoom worm, but that the company brought the site back online within "a short period of time." Yahoo subsidiary AltaVista, which runs its own search engine, also was affected. Search queries entered into the Lycos.com search engine returned blank pages at one point Monday afternoon. Officials for Terra-Lycos, the company that runs the search engine, did not return telephone calls seeking comment. The worm was programmed to search the Internet for any e-mail addresses that belong to the same Internet address as those found on an infected computer. For example, if an infected computer's e-mail address book contained the entry "email@example.com," the virus would query search engines for other e-mail addresses ending with "washingtonpost.com" and send a copy of itself to those addresses. The worm is infecting approximately 200 computers per hour, according to Symantec Corp., a Cupertino, Calif.-based Internet security company. It also is clogging many corporate e-mail systems, according to antivirus maker Network Associates Inc. The virus resides in an e-mail attachment and infects computers when e-mail users open the attachment. The message mimics the notice that people receive from their e-mail providers when one of their e-mails cannot be delivered. The text advises recipients to click on the attachment to see why the message failed. Like earlier versions of the MyDoom worm, the virus also gives its authors the ability to take control of infected computers. FBI spokesman Joe Parris said that the bureau's San Francisco office is investigating the incident, but it does not appear to be a major problem. "It really wasn't a big deal," Parris said. "These things happen from time to time." The U.S. Department of Homeland Security in an e-mail alert released Monday afternoon warned e-mail users to avoid opening attachments they were not expecting or from unknown sources. It is the second time in two months that a major Internet company was affected by online attacks. Last month, hackers used tens of thousands of hijacked home PCs to overwhelm the network of Akamai Technologies, a company that distributes Web content for companies such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo. "There are going to be a lot of virus writers out there who see just how fast this worm spread and will want to use the same methods for their own creations," said Brian Mann, a security expert at the McAfee antivirus emergency response team. "Why just get a few hundred e-mail addresses from each infected machine when you can generate hundreds of thousands?" MyDoom first hit the Internet in January, spreading so quickly that in one day it accounted for as much as 10 percent of all e-mail circulating online. Several new, but less-virulent versions of the worm have emerged since.

Episode Guide »This episode explores two Vermont "food webs": the aquatic food web of Lake Champlain and the terrestrial food web in the time since wolves disappeared from the Vermont landscape. While food webs can be relatively simple to understand, Vermont scientists are delving into their complexities by modeling one of the smallest self-contained food webs known: the aquatic habitat in the pitcher plant.

Here are 25 Totally Innocent-Yet-Oddly-Inappropriate Soap Opera Scenes we found in the Daytime Confidential archives.

Say: weez
A wheeze is the whistling sound air makes when your breathing tubes are narrowed. This is what happens during an asthma flare-up. If the breathing tubes get too narrow, a person may have trouble breathing. Sometimes you can hear someone wheeze, but usually a doctor needs to listen to a person's lungs with a stethoscope to hear wheezing.

Good Item
I purchased these cords to solve the problem of my glasses tumbling to the ground from my shirt pocket when I bent over, resulting in scratched lenses. These cords have solved that problem (in addition to my constantly searching for my glasses. I originally attached the cords to the ends of the ear pieces; but the cords fell off. I moved the attachment point to the midpoint of the ear pieces of the glasses and the cords work great.

This may be a stupid question but are Northern Brewer kits set up for a final volume of 5.0 or 5.25 gallons. Just setting up my Beer Smith and not sure what I should set up my final volume for these kits. Thanks.
The three kits I've made have all been 5 gallons.
I believe 5 gallons
On Deck: Sneaky Britches (American IPA) Fermenter 1: Brown Porter Fermenter 2: Empty Keg 1: Bitter Groundhog Keg 2: Mild Winter English Ale Keg 3: Irish Red Ale Bottled: American Brown Ale Bottled: Bitter Groundhog Bottled: Mild Winter English Ale
That's what I thought but figured what the hell, might as well ask and see if anyone knows for sure. Thanks guys.
When you set it up in BeerSmith, does the OG predict correctly at 5 gallons, or 5.25 gallons? That would tell you the answer. Brian
