5 Ways to Go Pro With Your Blog
If you are blogging and are enjoying it, the idea of going pro is likely appealing to you. After all, who wouldn't want to earn their living doing something they love, especially when it can be done almost anywhere a wifi connection can be found?
But the truth is that turning a blog, even a popular one, into a full-time income is tough. Competition is stiff, the landscape is uncertain and even if you can find a path to success, it's uncertain if it will still be available tomorrow. It's no wonder that there are entire communities dedicated to exactly this problem.
Fortunately though, there are many different paths that you can take to monetize your blog and, eventually, turn it into at least part of your full-time job.
But while there are too many to count or mention in one article, especially when many approaches are really combinations of other schemes, there are some methods that have been used more often, and with greater success, than others.
With that in mind, here are five of the more popular ways of going pro with a blog, including who they're right for and what the perils of that approach might be. Read More

"I ordered these for a friend's baby shower per my friend's request. The image quality is excellent, as is the heavy paper quality-- and we didn't do anything fancy, just the basic cut and paper stock. They were easy to customize and arrived fairly quickly. I would happily order from Tiny Prints again in the future."
"Such a high quality product! Love It! I just wish there was an option for this design to take the "fallen snow" out of picture. But I am extremely satisfied and will use this website again!"
"I absolutely loved this card! This announcement served both as a way of announcing the graduation & also providing our family and close friends an updated picture of my son. Print & paper quality were great! I got both matte & semi gloss. Loved them both."
"The return labels were just the added touch to the invitation they made the presentation of the invitation a really cute touch!"
"I love how pretty and classy these notes and labels are. The print on the invitation and label is a bit small but easily remedied with increase in font size."

Latest update : 2012-12-18
USA: the Newtown shooting and access to mental health care
The Newtown shooting sparks mental health care debate in the US. Egyptian activists criticise the government through graffiti. And net users in the Philippines hope to ban Justin Bieber from their country.
USA: the Newtown shooting and access to mental health care
Since Friday's massacre, which left twenty six dead, of whom a majority were children, in a primary school in Newtown, Connecticut, the debate on firearms control has been raging in the US. But online, the question of mental health care in the country has also been raised, as Adam Lanza, the alleged perpetrator of the Newtown shooting, has been described by his entourage as a young man suffering from a type of autism.
As a mother of a fourteen year old suffering from a mental disorder, Liza Long chose to speak out on her blog. "I am Adam Lanza's mother", she declares in this post where she describes her son's violent behaviour and her fears that one day he may also commit an indiscriminate killing frenzy.
The blogger then speaks of police involvement, hospital visits and meetings with social services, who apart from sending her son to prison, don't seem to have any other solutions to offer. The mother feels that it is time that the US reviewed its system for caring for the mentally ill and their families and to avoid tragedies such as the Newtown massacre.
The posting has widely circulated via social networks in recent days, giving rise to calls for a mental health care service reform, even though some net users emphasise the importance of not systematically associating violence with psychiatric disorders.
Egypt: protesters use graffiti to criticize the President
Whether to honour the memory of the numerous martyrs who died fighting for freedom or simply to express anger with regards the former regime, Egyptians make wide use of graffiti to comment upon and immortalise their country's revolution, which has led to the fall of Hosni Moubarak. A method of expression which a part of the population is still using today to criticise the government.
As illustrated by these photos posted on Flickr by photographer Jonathan Rashad who is covering events in Egypt, new murals have recently appeared on the walls of Cairo, openly attacking President, Mohamed Morsi. Graffiti presenting the Head of State as an octopus swimming in a blood bath or accusing his security forces of sowing death among opponents.
When it is not through drawings, it is by means of unequivocal messages that opponents attack Mohamed Morsi. This tag in the capital explains to the President that the walls he erects to defend himself will not protect him from the revolutionaries, who will continue fighting for freedom as long as necessary. Here we see a message written by his detractors, urging him to leave power immediately and calling him an idiot.
The tags and murals are generally quickly cleaned off by local authorities, but they offer an insight into feelings of resentment some Egyptians have with regards the new government.
The Big Internet Museum
A museum dedicated entirely to the internet universe: this is the idea hatched by a Dutch advertising agency with the creation of "The Big Internet Museum". A free site accessible to all and open twenty four hours a day, looking back in particular on the successive developments and improvements the web has witnessed since its creation and which should appeal both to those new to the net and to those born with the web and who wish to know more of its history.
Now trending on social networks
"Ban Justin Bieber" are the key words some Philippine social network users have been using in recent days. The young Canadian singer is accused by many net users in the country of being disrespectful towards local idol, boxer Manny Pacquiao, who was defeated after being knocked out last week. Bieber diffused online two re-mastered photos picking fun at the unconscious athlete. An unacceptable insult for fans of Pacquiao, who have decided to rally online to make the pop star pay the price for his insolence.
Video of the day
West Jet airlines surprised passengers boarding a night flight between Calgary and Toronto at the start of December. As shown in this video, currently diffused online, hundreds of air transport staff surprised travellers by organising a giant Christmas flash mob in the terminal just prior to boarding. A nice initiative which seems to have wowed those present in Calgary airport.

/ About USDA / Secretary's Weekly Radio Address
This week at USDA - This week, I visited the small town of Cameron Creek Colony in Tulare County, California and saw firsthand the challenges drought poses, particularly for those living in rural communities.
This week at USDA - In the battle for our children's future, one of the most powerful things we can do to protect them is to ensure they get the nutrition they need to learn and grow.
This week at USDA - What began as a small sail-making shop in 19th century New York City has evolved into the modern realization of one family's American Dream-a family-owned and operated small business whose product has been a part of some of the most iconic images in our nation's history.
This week at USDA - Agriculture is one of the brightest spots in our economy, and the American brand of agriculture is surging in popularity worldwide. Trade and market access support good-paying jobs and drives economic growth. A strong rural economy is critical to the overall economic health of the United States.
This week at USDA - Many consumers want to "buy local" and support their local economy with their purchases. When local food marketing opportunities exist for rural producers, they cause ripple effects throughout the rural economy.
This week at USDA - I visited Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, a small city outside of my hometown of Pittsburgh to kick off the first of five Made in Rural America forums designed to help rural small businesses access the information they need to grow through exports.
This week at USDA - USDA and its partners launched a new conservation initiative, the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP), a program that goes beyond traditional government support for conservation and allows businesses and other for-profit partners to invest in regional conservation projects. RCPP takes conservation off the farm and out of the forest and moves it into the board room.
This week at USDA - Over the past several years, we have seen the spread and occurrence of wildfires increase significantly. Deadly wildfires threaten our homes and communities and turn lives upside down.
This week at USDA - USDA and its partners released the results of the eight annual national survey of honey bee losses. The survey shows good news-fewer honey bee colonies were lost this winter than in previous years. According to survey results, total losses of managed honey bee colonies from all causes were 23.2 percent nationwide.
This week at USDA - Farmers, ranchers and foresters have long understood the need to care for our land and water-not only because preserving those resources for our children and their children is the right thing to do, but because they know that our farms and forests are more productive and efficient when they're properly cared for.

Phoronix: Google Engineer Reworks Direct I/O In Linux Kernel
A Google engineer working on Linux, Kent Overstreet, has reworked the Linux DIO (Direct I/O) code so that it's "vastly simpler" while also being faster for at least some test cases...
Well I googled Direct I/O and I came up with this. http://unixfoo.blogspot.com/2008/01/...direct-io.html
Basically its a method to access files while telling the operating system to not buffer the file in ram (aka, the program will keep a copy of the file in its memory and won't be reloading the file).
I'm gonna guess that very few applications use this method. (According to the link, databases use this).
If you are running a database... this is good news. Free speed boost.
If you aren't.... at least the kernel is 600 lines smaller in size.
But the more code there is, the higher the barrier to entry for potential new programmers. Also, the longer it takes to compile. Also, more work and pollution (RAM sticks) is not always the right answer.
So, well done Kent .
I would imagine that Google engineers are mainly targeting Kernel code that is useful to their own servers or Android... No??
And yes, a lot of that does correspond to age - particularly if the codebase is old enough to predate good tooling. Parts of the Java codebase I work on date to the late 90's when Java was new - no good IDEs then, nor unit testing libraries, code analysis tools, etc. And it shows - even today, it's not uncommon that we add a bunch of new functionality, and the total line count has actually gone down from all the cleanup that we did in the process. Fixing old warnings, taking out dead code, extracting helper functions for heavily duplicated operations... I reckon I'd delete a few thousand lines a month on average.

i am very grateful at how quick the product was delivered and how promptly the associate was in bringing the roller out to me. As I did not have to wait long at all, and I really like the ease at which this particular item was to assemble.
Girard, PA

Roller was very easy to assemble. Seems sturdy and well built. Easy to fill and drain. My only recommendation is, since it made of plastic, drain it after use if you are keeping it outside in the sun. If you don't, it will get a bubble in it and you'll never get it out. I would also drain it at the end of the season.
Laingsburg, MI
via sears.com
Easy enough to assemble from the picture provided, but I had to deduce which bolts went where. Light enough to handle when empty. The plastic roller showed no damage from rocks in my soil. I deduct one star because the tongue is a bit short. My garden tractor has large rear wheels that rub against the assembly when making sharp turns. Also, this does not come with a handle. I ended up making a handle from a scrap piece of deck board. I understand why they would not want people pushing and pulling this unit by hand. It is heavy when full of water and could easily go out of control. I risked it in some situations. When needed, my garden tractor easily pulled it, but again, the wheels rubbed against the assembly. This was the largest roller I could find. Another chain advertised a larger and heavier steel roller, but no store within 40 miles had one in stock.

Looking forward to this, well done!
Fantastic work. This will be great for comparing comparing posix operating systems to windows7 and will serve to either highlight posix superiority or underline where we can improve.
Simply awesome work.
Doesn't seem to hold for mobile chips though, my linux performance was significantly worse than windows performance on them.
Enabling PGO gives roughly ~10% performance, about the difference between windows & linux builds.
It's not that gcc is worse (as garytr24 suggested), it's just that PGO often isn't used because it's not trivial to do in an automated way.
What language is Phoronix Test Suite written in?
(Yes, I'm lazy by not searching it, as it's probably mentioned somewhere)
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Good job though ...
still ... chunks ... I'll be back later.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
- transcription factors and signal transduction

- relationship of defects in these pathways to the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus, a disease caused by a deficiency in the production or action of insulin
Key words: Diabetes, insulin, beta cell, pancreas development, transcriptional regulation, signal transduction.
Description of Research
Research in our laboratory focuses on the embryonic development and adult regeneration of the endocrine pancreas, and the relationship of defects in these pathways to the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus, a disease caused by a deficiency in the production or action of insulin. The beta cells of the endocrine pancreas are the only source of insulin production in the body- therefore the regulation of beta cell mass is pivotal to the development of diabetes and successful therapies aimed at correcting diabetes must impact beta cell growth and/or function. Further support for this focus derives from genetic studies linking monogenic forms of human diabetes to mutations in transcription factors that regulate the development of beta cell mass. A model example is the homeobox transcription factor, IPF-1/PDX-1, that plays critical roles in embryonic pancreas development and in differentiated islet beta cell function in the adult endocrine pancreas. Using cutting edge molecular methods, yeast two hybrid libraries, transgenic and knock-out mice, cDNA microarray, chromatin immunoprecipitation, human genetics, and genomic and proteomic approaches, our current projects include:
1. Characterization of a novel PDX C-terminus Interacting Factor, PCIF1, identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen. PCIF1 is a novel nuclear factor that recruits Pdx1 into a cullin3 based E3 ubiquitin ligase for polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Biochemical, molecular, in vivo and human genetics approaches are being applied to elucidate the role of this novel regulatory molecule.
2. Examining the molecular mechanisms by which the incretin hormone GLP-1 stimulates expansion of beta cell mass, with a particular emphasis on signal transduction and the identification of molecular mechanisms whereby GLP-1 promotes beta cell regeneration and regulates PDX expression.
3. Elucidating molecular mechanisms underlying islet compensation for diet-induced insulin resistance.
4. Identifing targets of Pdx1, Pbx and Meis homeodomain factors in the pancreatic ß cell.

Ear Institute : Cochlear Implant Center
Cochlear Implant Program
One of the busiest and most comprehensive programs of its kind in the country, the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Cochlear Implant Program was established in 1990 to understand and treat a variety of hearing, balance and communication disorders.
Under the direction of Thomas Balkany, M. D. the institute has helped restore hearing to more than 1,000 deaf children and adults. A multidisciplinary team of specialists from a variety of clinical areas including otology, audiology, speech pathology, psychology and educational services work together to ensure the program's success.
All patients referred for cochlear implants are evaluated by our professionals to determine if they are eligible for the device. Our specialists can then effectively address the communication and educational needs, as well as the psychological adjustment issues of implant use by both pediatric and adult patients.

Congratulations, dag231!
My spambot broke, now I have to write everything myself.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and go well with ketchup.
Workers of the world, igni-* err... unite!
My bad... will get one in this evening... got log-jammed with some real writing that had to be done...
Okay... for the character writer of the week...
Its a tough call.
There were a few that I read that were damn exceptional, but to me, the one that I think should take it is the one that has an almost guilty pleasure to it.
Its like you are getting gas and as you go to pay, you see a stand full of twinkies. You know they are toxin and will probably knock a year off your life. You know that if your significant other was here he/she/it would rip you a new hole if you grabbed one, but they arent. So you grab one and place it on the counter. Sure, the clerk looks at you and smirks, but you will probably never see him/her/it again, so screw 'em. And as you walk out the door, hiding your twinkie so nobody else can see, you eagerly await the seclusion of the car so you can unwrap your toxic goo and scarf if down.
That kind of hidden pleasure.
To me, that twinkie is DOOM'S DAY: A Latverian AAR ...
Now, its not a new AAR by any stretch of the imagination, but its Doctor freaking Doom, and reading it just makes me smile even though I know the outcome was never in doubt. All the other superheroes as well just add to the formaldehyde that is the twinkie.
In terms of newer characters, America Empire (USA/36) has some great writing going, and there was a fine Russian HOI2 DD AAR going, but I cant find it...
I am afraid that I didnt spend as much time as I would have liked reading all the other AARs in the other sections, so hopefully they will be highlighted by our new winner...

This is an interesting initiative and I congratulate both the winners and Fenwick for starting it. I would suggest that when nominating a new individual, the person doing the nominating saying a few words about those characters that made the person choose their successor. It might help to entice new readers by seeing a little of what they found so enjoyable about the work and the characters that inhabit it.

I did, but it did not give me much insight into the actual AAR or its characters you found so entertaining.

25 Outstanding Pumpkin Recipes
For me, October is the month of pumpkins and I always enjoy trying new pumpkin recipes. In addition to tasting great pumpkins are very versatile working in both sweet and savoury dishes that can be mains, sides, desserts or even appetizers or breakfasts. Pumpkin is commonly used in two different forms either solid chucks or pureed. Although canned pumpkin puree is pretty convenient it is easy to make homemade pumpkin puree. One thing to keep in mind when buying pumpkins to eat, look for the ones labeled as pie pumpkins as they taste a lot better than the ones that are for carving up for Halloween. Without further ado, 25 of my favourite pumpkin recipes:

This post comes from Hemmings Blog:
Because of the closure of the El Mirage Dry Lakes by the Bureau of Land Management, the inaugural US Motor Scooter Land Speed Trials had to be relocated to Route 66 in Devore, California, at the 11th hour. The weather was not cooperative there either; that, and the late change in venue probably kept at least half of the potential spectators from attending the event. Not to be defeated, however, the Motor-Scooter International Land-Speed Federation held their land speed trials anyway, and new speed records were established in 16 different classes, with the top speed of 90 MPH turned in by Patrick Owen on a Yamaha TMAX 500cc scooter.
This article comes from Hemmings Blog:
Today, as I'm sure you're all aware, marks the 69th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the event that ultimately led the United States into World War II. Coincidentally, while recently browsing the Making of Modern Michigan online photo database, I came across this picture of the last 1942 Packard built before the company switched over its factories to the production of war materiel. The MMM caption for the photo reads

According to this, brown, gray and green seem like the least used colors.
Pelicans are often brown and gray...
Gray an the right shade of green could be a sick color scheme.

According to veteran pro Cheryl Burke, the competition on this season of Dancing with the Stars is the stiffest she's ever seen.
"It's so competitive. There's amazing dancers, a lot of them with some dance background and a few of them with no dance background," Burke tells TVGuide.com. "This season is tough. I would say out of all the seasons, this has been definitely the most competitive. From here on out, you have no idea who's going to actually go home."
Check out our interview with Burke to see why viewers may be surprised by the routine she and partner Jack Osbourne have in store this week, and where Osbourne ranks among the other celebrities she's danced with over the years.

I wonder if some masochist will create a Unity clone as a (set of?) Gnome-shell extension(s).
One thing to note about Compiz development is that it no longer happens in GIT. All of it is happening in BZR from now on.
I would hardly say that compiz is dead though. I'm running Compiz-0.9.7 in Archlinux right now.
Compiz is fast and stable over here ~ but i am using Nvidia + only the plugins that i need.
I've also been experimenting with Cinnamon/muffin ~ but much like GS - i experience xruns / glitchyness when using either actitives (in GS) or the 'scale' plugin (in Cinnamon). Compiz still works the best for me in this area (although, it used to cause issues way back when).
It'll be interesting to see what the cinnamon devs do over time... for me Compiz' selling points are the vast array of 'useful' plugins, that pretty much have no counterparts are found in GS/mutter/Cinnamon/muffin. Although, KDE/kwin has similar features - it's way too much bloat and i don't want to pull in kwin on a non-kde desktop -> although i could be wrong, and someone can correct me if i am wrong -> it probably has some hard dependencies of KDE related packages.
I wonder if some masochist will create a Unity clone as a (set of?) Gnome-shell extension(s).
Compiz is not dead. It just moved house without telling anyone:
Compiz is using the LaunchPad project name "compiz-core" because "compiz" was already taken by the Ubuntu packagers.
A new release 0.9.7.0 is due within weeks and should debut in Ubuntu 12.04 beta-1.
This all really should have been published on compiz.org, but smspillaz is so busy working on the new release that obviously he hasn't had time.
The ubuntu compiz devs killed it IMO by not keeping up with DE changes and poor coding.
Compiz was retired from F17 last night (no last minute reprieves )
Sam deserves credit for his efforts. Yes, Compiz is currently not as polished as it could be and he well knows it; he evidently doesn't require tutting gossipers to tell him so. Yes, some better organisation and project management wouldn't go amiss. He's a young, very talented guy, learning on his feet, with a bright future to look forward to.
Like ninez, I use Compiz 0.9 on Arch along with JACK and have similarly found it to be a better fit than GS or Cinnamon. The worry I have is that Compiz will become too close integrated with Unity/Ubuntu. Heres to hoping it remains essentially agnostic (one of its greatest assets).
By your bug report, clearly you knew how to fix the problem ~ why didn't you just submit a patch, then? (or even just create/use the patch yourself, when making your compiz packages?).
I mean not every distro does things the same. (that being said, yeah, i agree it should be fixed)...But i still don't see that as a huge issue.... On Archlinux (as an example), i often have to modify sources/or export which version of python to use (python2 or python(3)... ). I don't see your packaging problem, being any bigger of a deal than that. It takes less than a minute to create and apply a patch, or write a fix using 'sed' to modify the 2 lines, mentioned in your report.
Maybe Compiz will fizzle, maybe it won't. I'd say the large number of bug fixes committed recently is more telling than the doomsaying of an ex-packager.
That's how things turned out; which kinda makes sense. As for compiz it is not gong to "die" in the foreseeable feature i.e as long as it is used by Unity.
Yet another former fedora compiz maintainer (I stopped maintaining it back then because I moved on to GNOME3 where it does not really fit in anymore see above).

Let it be noted that the Republicans are attempting to follow the dictates of their electorate, ie, stop runaway spending, stop spending money the country does not have, stop borrowing money from China, stop compounding the deficit - and devise and follow a responsible, fiscally conservative national budget.
Mr Obama and the Democrats, who have traditionally bought the votes of the poor and ignorant with massive government giveaway programs, oppose this.
Giving more money to Democrats, therefore, is akin to giving a bottle of whiskey and your car keys to a teenager.

Valcourt, Québec, Sept. 19, 2012 — Can-Am® racers posted five overall class victories at the Unadilla Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) race in New York state. In the New England ATV Motocross (NEATV-MX) series, three Can-Am DS 450™ racers swept the Pro class at round 10 held in Epping, N.H. At the final round of the World Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS), Can-Am-mounted racers won four classes in Taft, Calif.
"I was extremely pleased with all of our 4x4 racers' efforts on the challenging Can-Am Unadilla GNCC course. Having five class wins was a nice way to start the second half of the season," said Jimmie O'Dell, Race Manager, Can-Am. "Josh Creamer kept his perfect season alive, winning both the Pro and Pro-Am classes and earning the 2012 Pro and Pro-Am titles. It was gratifying to see Josh Frederick finish second in the SxS Production 1000 class and also take second overall in the ATV Pro ranks. Both he and Dillon Zimmerman put in a solid year for team Motoworks / Can-Am."
Valcourt, Québec, Sept. 5, 2012 — BCS Performance / Can-Am® DS 450™ racer Josh Creamer clinched the 2012 New England ATV Motocross (NEATV-MX) Pro Class Championship by winning both Pro class motos at round nine in Clifford, Pa. Several other Can-Am racers, including Cody Miller, Hunter Miller and Joel Hetrick reached the podium in different racing events in the US. Across the Atlantic Ocean, Americans Josh Frederick and Dillon Zimmerman teamed with Frenchman Jeremie Warnia to finish fourth in the 26thAnnual 12 Hours of Pont de Vaux in France.
"Josh Creamer put an exclamation point on his 2012 NEATV-MX season, winning both Pro-level classes at round 9 and securing the 2012 Pro class title with three rounds remaining. His approach and determination this year have been exceptional and he has rewarded himself, his sponsors and BRP with a well-deserved championship," said Jimmie O'Dell, Race Manager, Can-Am. "I was extremely proud of the way the Motoworks / Can-Am team never quit and battled through adversity in France to earn fourth at Pont de Vaux."
Round nine of the 12-round NEAVT-MX series was held at Hurricane Hills in Clifford, Pa. Creamer once again came away with four moto wins, earning 1-1 sweeps in both the Pro and Pro-Am classes. More importantly, his consistency in the series not only preserved his perfect record in the Pro class, but also locked up the 2012 NEATV-MX Pro championship title. Creamer grabbed the holeshot in each Pro class moto and walked away from the rest of the field to secure the championship with three rounds remaining this year. Can-Am racer Brad Burbine also reached the Pro class podium, finishing third.
Creamer had a much tougher first moto in the Pro-Am class, as he got off the line late and had to come from the back of the pack. However, the gritty pro finally made his way to the front on the final lap and took the win. He followed it up with a moto-two holeshot and dominant victory for the Pro-Am overall. Michael Troiano earned third in the Pro-Am class aboard his Can-Am DS 450.
"I had a great weekend. Both Pro motos went great for me. I grabbed both holeshots and pulled away. I have to thank Can-Am, BCS and everyone who has helped me to win this championship. I am very happy and I plan to keep winning for them," said Creamer.
Can-Am X-Team members Cody and Hunter Miller put their Louis Powersports-supported Can-Am DS 450 ATVs on both the Expert and Pro-Am podiums at round nine of the Texhoma Quad Racing Association series held in Decatur, Texas. Cody Miller finished second in both classes, while his older brother Hunter earned third place in each class during TeXGames weekend at Oak Hill MX.
Pont de Vaux
In France, the team of Frederick, Zimmerman and Warnia, the 2011 WORCS ATV pro champion, competed in the 12 Hours of Pont de Vaux aboard a Motoworks / Can-Am DS 450. The team raced out to the overall lead and carried that lead into the night session. However, during Frederick's turn on the ATV, the headlights stopped working and he crashed. During the 30-minute delay to repair the vehicle, the team dropped from first to 59th place. Once the ATV was repaired, the racers rallied and soon climbed back into the top 10. Finally, at the completion of the 12 hours, the Motoworks / Can-Am team had worked its way up to an impressive fourth-place finish.
Matt Bartosek Celebration Race
Motoworks / Can-Am racer Joel Hetrick traveled to Sugar Grove, Pa., to compete at the 10th annual motocross race that celebrates the life of fallen ATV racer Matt Bartosek. Hetrick, who finished third overall in the 2012 AMA ATV MX Championship series, notched 2-2 moto scores on his Can-Am DS 450 to finish second overall.

In a dominating performance, six Can-Am® racers posted overall class victories at the fifth annual GBC Heartland Challenge in Carlisle, Iowa. Motoworks / Can-Am racer Kyle Chaney (UTV Open) and Can-Am / UXC Racing's Michael Swift (4x4 Open) led the way, winning the two marquee classes. Across the country in the New England ATV Motocross series, BCS Performance / Can-Am DS 450™ pro Josh Creamer won two classes at round eight held in Minot, Maine. At the General Tire Vegas-To-Reno round of the Best in the Desert (BITD) series, Motoworks / Can-Am DS 450™ teammates Dillon Zimmerman and Josh Frederick earned third on the Quad Pro class podium, while Murray Motorsports finished third in its Commander™ the UTV Pro class.
"I was pleased with the results from our Can-Am racers at three different racing series across the country. Can-Am racers ruled the Heartland Challenge. It was thrilling to see Kyle Chaney and Michael Swift each earn the hard-fought overall wins. Winning four more class titles was icing on the cake," said Jimmie O'Dell, Race Manager, Can-Am. "Josh Creamer kept rolling in the NEATV-MX series as he once again put his DS 450 out front and on top of the podium. And although we missed out on a Vegas-To-Reno victory, having both the DS 450 and Commander teams reach the podium was truly an accomplishment."
Heartland Challenge
The Heartland Challenge had its largest attendance in the race's five-year history with 109 entries. The endurance event, which uses a Lemans-style start, features ATV and side-by-side vehicle racing with 10- and 4-hour race times, respectively.
In the 4-hour UTV race, Chaney fought off numerous challenges to take a popular win in the UTV Open class in his Motoworks-prepped Can-Am Commander 1000 X®. Chaney got off to a slow start, but quickly worked his way through the 22-car field and into the lead pack. Just after the halfway point, Chaney inherited the lead and never relinquished it, despite a few challenges. At around 11 p.m., and with a four-minute time advantage, he drove across the finish line with the UTV Open class victory.
Swift won the Pro 4x4 Ironman class and was joined on the podium by Can-Am racers Bryan Buckhannon and Chris Robinson. Buckhannon was out front early but missed a turn and allowed Swift to take over the lead. Swift then rode for the next five hours straight before stopping for a break. A refreshed Swift resumed his race pace to outdistance Buckhannon by four laps for the overall win. D&S Racing (UTV 850 Mod), Stalker Racing (A class), Team Katers / Zakowski Motorsports (4x4 Open) and Justin Steck (Open Ironman) also earned overall class wins with Can-Am vehicles. Can-Am racers Forrest Whorton (third, Open Ironman), Sammy Joe Racing (third, B class) and Go Blue Racing (second, 4x4 Open) earned class podiums.
Creamer continued his undefeated run in both the Pro and Pro-Am classes in the NEATV-MX series this year. At Hemonds MX in Maine, Creamer rode his BCS Performance-supported DS 450 to four holeshots, four moto wins and victories in both the Pro and Pro-Am ranks. He has yet to lose in the 2012 NEATV-MX series aboard his Can-Am.
In the UTV class, brothers Jason and Derek Murray of the Murray Motorsports / Can-Am team battled with more than 20 other side-by-side vehicles on their way to an impressive finishing time and third overall on the 534-mile desert course. The Can-Am Commander pilots led a good portion of the race, but issues with a flat tire late in the race slowed their pace and allowed two other teams to pass. The Murrays repaired the tire and finished on the podium in third, earning 152 valuable points in their chase for a title.
"We were running in the lead most of the race. We had a logistics issue with a flat and lost the lead with not enough time to catch up," said Derek Murray. "The Commander ran great, and with the third-place finish we still hold the points lead."
With a time of 10:44:11.867, the DS 450-mounted Frederick and Zimmerman finished the Quad Pro class in third place and 12th overall on the day in the Motorcycle/Quad division.

I was recently advised to put one of my best works up, free of charge, as a "marketing ploy." I decided to give it a shot. It is Evoguía, an original SF full novel:
A scientist in Atlanta creates a revolutionary breakthrough in accessing the untapped potential in humans, and in so doing, sows the seeds of a decades-spanning conflict between Homo Sapiens and a group of peoplea 98-pound weakling, a police detective, a boy with learning difficulties and an illness-prone womanwho become the first generation of Homo Evoguía, the Self-Evolved Man.
It is available at various outlets, but on my site and Smashwords, it is free and available in multiple ebook formats. If you enjoy it and buy other novels, you'll have to let me know how the marketing ploy works.

Steven, how would you say it compares to the first Kestral Book? I picked that one up free at one point, but it is not for me.

I always wondered if the man had, shall we say "issues," since in *every single book* he wrote a male character becomes a female through some kind of magical/quasi-technological transformation. Once would mean nothing, but every single book?

I am a new author and my book is available for free online. It is set in a near future world. Here's the synopsis.
Set in the near future, the world is advancing as new technologies emerges. But the effects from the attack in an early decade of the 21st century, by an elusive group called Ordo Tribus XI (Order of the Three Eleven), lingers.
Soon, a sinister force arises, quietly permeating into everyone's lives and into all nooks and crannies of the connected world. As heinous and ambitious as the perpetrators of World War I and II, the insidious force uses corruption and technology to wage their covert war for world domination. There is no hesitation in using any measures against those who stand in their way. It is up to the friends of the victims and a group of hackers to uncover this hidden threat, and defeat it before it is too late.
Rather than create a world full of science fiction, I've used the near future world as a backdrop, with subtle introduction of new technology, to relate the rise of a new totalitarian Hitler wannabe of the information age. Prologue and Chapter 1 are historical fiction that lays the historical context for the rest of the chapters. Prologue occurred in World War I while Chapter 1 occurred in November 11, 2011 with a dirty bomb attack and assassination. Although it might not be non-stop fast paced action, it is suspenseful and have element of mystery and non-supernatural horror.
Some of the key words for the novel are: dirty bomb, Nazism, anti-christ, world domination, intercontinental space travel, gaming, VR, information or cyber war, hacker, cracker, cancer cure, new discoveries, patent, corruption, revolution, murder, torture, genocide, genetic research, new military technology, nanotechnology, surveillance, espionage, fugitives, social commentary, zero day.
My first time writing so if you end up reading, please let me know what you think. If you stop reading, please let me know why also. Constructive criticism is appreciated.
Here is the link at Scribd with downloadable pdf file and various mobile/e-reader formats.

Sorry about that. There is a mobile button after the small download and print button. If that does not work, I've added an EPUB format at:

Direct link was fine. Binaries is a bit tricky. You click on format, it opens a code in firefox, you save it as *.nzb, then use whatever usenet client you have to download it.
I will be honest with you. The formatting of the epub is bad.
TOC is unusable.
The TOC looks like two small squares at the bottom left corner, and when double click on them you get the following:
There are also some unfinished/incomplete items:
I am not criticising. Only showing some glaring problems.

Yeah, the Usenet NZB have to be right clicked and save because the browser would just display the xml text.
Note to self, don't use PDF file to convert to EPUB.
