Number one reason: the people. They are smart, talented, funny, and best of all? Decent human beings.
Next are the perks - playing games for work, the game room, free food, laptops for every employee, the great view of the bay.
Some departments aren't treated as well as others - some have a great work-life balance, others are overworked though they try to give them lots of food to keep them sane.
Love the games we make, be sincerely passionate about the industry that we're in.

I wrote a wxPython program that I am translating to wxWidgets. The program has a scrolled window that displays an image. Following Rappin, wxPython In Action (Listing 12.1), I used a StaticBitmap within a panel. While surfing the latest wxWidgets documentation, I found a dire warning that wxStaticBitmap should only be used for very small images. It says, "... you should use your own control if you want to display larger images portably." Okay. Show me. I don't have my "own control."
Was Rappin wrong, or is the documentation out of date?
The question - a newbie one, no doubt - is what is the right way to do a simple image-view window in wxWidgets? A drop-in replacement for wxStaticBitmap would be nice. I looked into the "image" program in the wxWidgets "samples" directory. It's as long a War and Peace. Surely there must be a canned class or a simple recipe.

Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge | always free
The free Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge in Commerce City, Colorado (near Denver) is a beautiful and pristine National Wildlife Refuge, representing an impressive cleanup and conversion of a former weapons and rocket fuel processing facility. The views of the mountains from this perfect spot on the plains are quite impressive.
Nearly nine miles of gentle trails allow the visitor to view a variety of wildlife while taking in the scenery. Many species of wildlife call the refuge home, including Buffalo (Bison), Coyotes, and Bald Eagles.
Begin your visit by checking out the displays at the large visitor center and grab a map on your way out. My favorite short scenic walk is the Lake Mary Trail and floating boardwalk.
6am to 6pm Daily.
Visitor Center is open Wednesday - Sunday 9am to 4pm.
Closed on all Federal Holidays.
Take I-70 to Quebec Street.
Go north on Quebec Street 2.8 miles to Prairie Parkway.
Turn right at Prairie Parkway and travel 0.6 miles to Gateway Road.
Turn left on Gateway Road.
Gateway Road will take you through the entrance and to the Visitor Center.

Inexperience won't lower goals for New Richmond girls tennis team
Just two players return to the varsity lineup for the New Richmond girls tennis team this season.
Tiger coach Denise Devereux believes that lack of experience will not preclude the Tigers from making a run at another Middle Border Conference championship.
Senior Mattie Kidder and junior Christian Weaver are the only returning starters for the Tigers this season and both are being asked to move up flights in the team's singles lineup.

Deven Bhojani All Set To Take On Kapil Sharma?
MUMBAI: Deven Bhojani is set to woo the audiences with his comedy show 'Bh Se Bhadey!' on Zee TV, seen as competition to Kapil Sharma's popular 'Comedy Nights With Kapil' on Colors.
When asked about this, Deven said, "Kapil Sharma and Raju Shrivastav, are amazing actors. I am a huge fan of them and not a competitor."
Kapil Sharma came into the limelight after winning the third season of The Great Indian Laughter Challenge on Sony Entertainment Television and since then there has been no looking back for him. His debut comedy show 'Comedy Nights With Kapil', which went on-air in June this year on Colors, has not only been appreciated by the audience, but is a hit among celebrities too.
Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor, Farah Khan, Rohit Shetty, Deeepika Padukone, etc. have been a part of 'Comedy Nights With Kapil' and it has become the highest rated show in the non-fiction category. Coming back to Deven, he has shown his comic skills in the comedy shows like 'Dekh Bhai Dekh', 'Office Office', 'Sarabhai VS Sarabhai, and various others.
Deven's new show 'Bh Se Bhadey!' will go on air on October 26, 2013 on Zee TV. In the show, Deven will be seen as the protagonist, who has supernatural powers.
We wish Deven Bhojani and the entire team of Bh Se Bhadey!' all the best.

LOOKING for: pecans
I bought a couple of pkgs of pecans from Costco. Now I'm looking for recipes for pecans, either sugared, or spiced or something along those lines. My son wants to make them for Christmas gifts this year. I'd really appreciate any recipes you'd like to share.
I make a huge batch of this every year. What we don't eat over the holidays I save and use on salads and such throughout the year.
Sugared Pecans
1/3 cup Butter
1/4 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp. Cinnemon
1/4 tsp. Ginger
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
1 lb. Pecans, pieces or halves
In small saucepan melt butter; stir in sugar, and spices and mix well. Put pecans in deep roasting pan, pour butter mixture over pecans and stir well to coat. Bake in a pre-heated 250º F oven for 30 - 45 minutes stirring every 10 minutes to re-coat pecans. Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan, stirring at 10 minute intervalesfor another 1/2 hour -- to keep them from sticking into a large lump.
ÂStore in an airtight container.
ÂThese are better after theyÂve been allowed to age for a few days.
ÂThis recipe may be doubled, tripled, whatever, as long as you have a pan deep enough to turn the nuts.
SPICED PECANS (4 cups)
1 egg white, slightly beaten
2 TBL cold water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
4 cups pecan halves
Preheat oven to 250° (low oven.) Coat 2 baking sheets lightly with Pam. Combine the egg white, water, sugar & seasoniongs, mixing well. Set aside 15 minutes. Add the pecans & mix. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheets. Bake 1 hour. Immediately loosen the pecans from the sheets with a spatula. Store in an airtight container.~~Atlanta Cooknotes
These are nice too.
Vanilla Nuts
1 pound walnut or pecan halves
1/2c sugar
2 1/2 T corn oil
1T vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
Blanch the nuts for one minute in boiling water. Drain well. While nuts are still hot, toss with combined sugar, corn oil, and vanilla. Let stand for 10 minutes
Arrange on a large cookie sheet (with sides) and bake in a preheated 325° for 25-30 minutes turning every 5-10 minutes until nuts are light brown and crispy.
While nuts are baking, combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mix the hot nuts with the combined spices. Spread in a single layer to cool and store in an airtight container.
From "The Frog Commissary"
3 tbl butter
1 pound pecans (or cashews, almonds, hazelnuts)
dash Worcestershire sauce
1-1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp cumin
Melt butter in heavy frying pan over low heat. Add nuts. Fry, stirring constantly for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until nuts are golden.
Remove from heat. Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce and stir to blend.
Using a slotted spoon, remove nuts from butter. Drain on paper towels. When well drained, pour into paper bag and sprinkle with spices. Shake well to coat nuts with spices. Cool before storing.

"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."

Glenn Ligon discusses texts and cultural events, such as the writings of James Baldwin and the Million Man March, that inspired some of his paintings. Although viewers who are familiar with these references might have a "richer" experience than those who don't, as Ligon explains, having this knowledge is not necessary to have a meaningful experience with his work. Ligon was interviewed in 2011 at his Brooklyn, New York studio.

Wild Tomatoes
I have been reading a lot about the wild Galapagos Island tomato (Lycopersicon cheesmanii). They sound like they would thrive here in Houston, with our hot, early summers. Does anyone know where I can find seeds for these interesting tomatoes?
Colby, many islands make up the Galapagos complex and each of the islands has several species, S. cheesmanii being just one of them.
S. cheesmanii is best known for being salt tolerant and is used in breeding efforts for same. But there's also S. pimpinellifolium, the currant tomato, which is found on several islands.The tomato species found in the Galapagos came from South America to the Galapagos eons ago, just as they came from Chile and Peru to Mexico and hence spread by the Spanish all along the Gulf Coast as far as Florida , so you have plenty of wild species in your own state of TX.
One of them is Texas Wild, a currant tomato, and there are other names ones.
If you want to grow S cheesmanii, you can, and seeds are available at both Sandhill Preservation and Baker Creek and probably other places as well; I didn't do a Google search.
But most folks I know who have grown it are not "wild" about it in terms of taste although opinions vary. ( smile)
If I were you I'd grow a good currant tomato. And yes, the species do do well in hot humid climates.
One that I like is Sara's Galapagos which is a genetically stable cross between a currant and ????, the other parent not known. This one is available at Sandhill Preservation.
I've linked below to a recent thread here, now on the second page, which discusses this area of so called wild tomatoes and you might find that thread tells you a bit more.
Hope that helps.
Here is a link that might be useful: Wild Tomatoes
I grew the Pimpinellifolium here in the Northwest. It has tiny fruit, like sungold sort of but smaller, and almost immune to blight. I believe it is used by Tomato Breeders for blight resistance, but for its own fruit, it is a very small cherry type.
I believe it is used by Tomato Breeders for blight resistance, but for its own fruit, it is a very small cherry type.
Actually it's used mostly by tomato breeders working on developing new cherry tomato varieties b/c it imparts the flat truss trait that so many more modern cherry tomatoes have.
I don't even call the currant tomatoes cherries b'c they are so small, as in the .25 to .5 size range.
And when you grow one that's good, it's very very good with a huge burst of flavor. ( smile)
Wait, let's don't forget our poor little wild Everglades tomato.
I don't know about the rest of them, but you can't touch Everglades with blight. It just laughes it off.
Actually, come to think of it, if the Homestead/Immokalee growers haven't been able to kill it so far with all their diseases,
the stinker might be indestructable. LOL
Wait, let's don't forget our poor little wild Everglades tomato.
I don't know about the rest of them, but you can't touch Everglades with blight. It just laughes it off.
Corrie, I'd just as soon forget the Wild Everglades variety based just on the recent thread we had here about wild tomatoes. LOL
But yes, I forgot to mention it above, that every currant variety I've grown has been quite tolerant to the common foliage infections.
And there are many varieties where it's known that a currant tomato is in the genetic background, but so far there are no good tomato common garden varieties that have any degree of tolerance for those foliage infections, with just a couple of exceptions that aren't of use to the home gardener.
You know I had to hunt that thread down and read it. ;-)
All I can say is "yikes", and I see your point. LOL
I ordered Everglades seed from one of those guys one time. It was not the Everglades that I have been growing.
So I drove to Homestead and hunted down my original source. Wouldn't you know it, they were still growing in the same place after all these years.
So I'm back to growing what I call Everglades and what my friends in Homestead call Everglades.
It's a bigger, sweeter, better tomato, produces a lot more, and laughs at disease and heat. The vines are much more behaved too.
You wouldn't want to share some of those seeds would you Corrie?
Or, could anyone point me to a source for the Everglades wild? I had been asking around when I visit family down south about super strong wild toms of the area and never got a response.
You are more than welcome to as many seeds as you want.
I just planted mine out the other day so it will be sometime in March before I have any seed.
There's a guy on Ebay that's selling Everglades seed. He's the one I ordered seed from one time.
What I grew out from his seed is not what I've always grow before. His seed produced a huge lanky vine and very small currant tomatoes. His might actually be the real Everglades tomato and mine aren't. Who knows.
What I'm growing has been growing in this same area since I was a kid, and I remember Howdy Doody - ok?
It's a bigger tomato, almost like a santa sweet, the vines are a lot more compact.
Remind me about March to get you some seed. It's no trouble at all.
I wouldn't hesitate at all to plant them out in March.
As a matter of fact, I just planted seed the other day and expect them to take a good two weeks to even sprout.
They will come up a lot faster once it's warmer.
Let me know if you going to plant them right out and I'll send you fresh seed. ;-)
Kiee, no problem.
My seed has not sprouted yet, but that's normal for them. I've seen them take a while to sprout.
Tell you what, as soon as I have seed I can send, I'll post a reminder to this thread, and post all the info in the "exchanges" forum.
Hi, Corrie:
We are growing veggies here to feed children in 2 local churches and needy people in general and would sure love to receive a few of your great wild tomato seeds, please.
My email is johnmillerz2003 then @ then yahoo.com
Let me know where to send you an SASE so you do not spend on postage. THANKS SO MUCH. We hope you have a few seeds for us. Carolyn
A much better canidate you might try seeking out are the varieties 'Nagcarlang' or "Phillipines #2" (or Fillipino #2). The only source I know of offhand is the place deemed nothing left to get out.
The description of the Nagcarlang tomato type which follows has been made up in part from information given by Dr. Eugenio E. Cruz, Director, Bureau of Plant Industry. Manila, Republic of the Philippines and from Dr. Howard Peto, Peto Seed Company, Saticoy, California. The Nagcarlang tomato is the onlytype which will set fruit in high humidity areas throughout the Philippines. For this reason, during the winter of 1948--49, Dr. Peto called at Manila to see if the Nagcarlang tomato type could be used in a breeding programs so that a canning tomato for the Philippines would result. He also took tomato varieties, over to Mindanao and the Southern Philippines,of which Kolea and Anahu have proven adaptable.
The Nagcarlang type has come into Ontario in two shipments. The first seed obtained has been written up in Scientific Agriculture 32:57-66, 1952. As far as is known the only surviving member in breeding programmes of the first shipment made to Ontario in 1948 is the type known as Philippine #2. Dr. Eugenio E. Cruz forwarded Nagcarlang to Guelph in the second shipment made in 1959, this seed having been gathered at Laguna in the Philippines.
In the Philippines Nagcarlang is known to be a wild-type tomato. Its history is unknown. It is not a variety as no two plants are alike. It is simply a heterozygous form which has survived in the jungles of the Philippines and which has also been brought under cultivation and even sold commercially. Dr, Peto has verbally stated that in the Philippines the Nagcarlang type has survived-and become pollinated in areas with 100 inches of rainfall per season. He stated that it is hard to believe that such wild-type fruit could be sold commercially. However, he saw Nagcarlang fruits being sold when he visited the open market in Manila. He noted that the flowers hang down, shed the water, and do not experience as much blossom drop (in) rainy weather as is experienced by commercial types.
While no two Nagcarlang plants are the same there are points in common. For example, practically all Nagcarlang fruits are small, very rough. and with a purplish "muddy" fruit colour. The fruits are firm and under Ontario conditions flat and sweet in flavour. They mostly ripen late in the season. The plants are very robust, and dense with healthy foliage. While Dr. Peto attributes fruit set under humid conditions to the flowers, the fact that the pollen remains active may have a chemical basis as the plants and fruits of the Nagcarlang type have a distinct purplish colour.
In the Philipyines the Nagcarlang tomato is resistant to disease and to periodic drought. In Ontario it is tolerant to late blight. Under Ontario conditions it will set fruit at temperatures as low as 45 deg. F, which is 10 degrees below the point at which tomatoes normally set fruit. In other words, it is cold tolerant, It is interesting to note that in the tropics Nagcarlang is resistant to sterility caused by damp conditions and in Ontario, far removed from-the tropics, it is resistant to sterility caused by cool conditions.
In the tropics the point of interest in to see if, through a breeding programs, the bridge can be gapped between the wild Nagcarlang type and the commercial varieties found on the North American continent. This would allow the commercial canning of tomatoes to be carried out in certain tropical areas such as the Philippines, where high humidity makes this difficult at the present time.
From Graham, T. O, TGRC 1961, vol pg 36
the purplish/muddy appearance described would be similar to a black or cherokee purple like appearance. Phillipine #2 was the variety that the green flesh trait was studied and named. (green flesh is what makes green fruited varieties - when combined with the gene for yellow flesh - and blacks/purples - when combined with various red flesh genes)
Most currants are fine in taste. Some do have a few off tones. Others, even when introgressed with regular tomatoes, may have initial bursts of flavor but also have nasty undertones or residual flavors. Kinda like Coyote and Green Doctors do, initally sweet perception followed by a nasty (astrigent in those instance) afterbite.
Currants are also widely varied. Not all are resistant to disease.
"A wild tomato, native to the Galapagos Islands, purported to be a popular food source of the famous Galapagos Island Turtles. Fruits are small, similar to a small cherry tomato, and ripen to an orange. Flavor is fairly typical for a standard cherry tomato. Plants are ornamental, shrubby, with prolific fruit. This species is of particular interest for cross-breeding with garden tomatoes as plants grow well in salty-poor soils and have a number of other useful traits. Annual. #1944"

I have some of the everglades growing. They are in their second year and the fruits have gotten larger and some of the plants seem to be suffering from the heat. I suspect they hybridized with some of the other varieties that are nearby.
I just got a fresh batch of seeds from http://myworld.ebay.com/fishfarmerjohn/?_trksid=p4340.l2559 Is it possible to isolate them and keep them from hybridizing? I have another property that is in the woods, hopefully far from any other varieties. I also have a large enclosed porch and a greenhouse there that could be used. Would they need to be hand pollinated?

How to Get Comfortable at a New House
Edited by Teresa, Manasa, Antonio Miguel Lagura, Alphagod999 and 1 other
Getting used to a new home may be difficult, however it is possible. If you have lived in one place your whole life, it can be extremely difficult but lots of people have coped with this and you can too!
Edit Steps
1Ask for your room to be painted the same color of your old room. This helps you feel more at home.
2Try to lay out your things (doll house,bed bookshelf,etc.) as close to the pattern of your old bedroom. The same placement will be familiar to you, and will feel natural.
3If it helps, make a chart of things that are similar and things that are different. Therefore, you will know exactly how much you will need to cope with, when you think about it, it really isn't much!

Digital Ads Paid Off for New York Times
According to some reports, New York Times Company has received increased quarterly revenues and profits as there was a large increase in digital subscription and advertising (balancing their fall in print ad profits). The publisher of the newspaper's shares increased as much as 7.5% during the early trading.
New York Times, like other newspaper and magazine publishers, has been trying to improve digital offerings in order to increase revenues from online advertisements and subscriptions as sales from print ads decrease.
Early last year, digital ad and content advertising raised their sales to up to 19.3% in the 4th quarter, beating companies such as car insurance in Brooklyn NY.
The revenues for their print ads decreased to up to 9.2%, which is the third consecutive decline since the last 2 quarters. Continue reading

Atlanta removing 17,000 seats, Charlotte 41,000 UPDATE: Atlanta Motor Speedway's parent company, Speedway Motorsports, Inc., announced Tuesday that they will remove 17,000 seats from the track's grandstands. The company anticipates using those areas for premium hospitality, advertising and other facility purposes. Their sister track, Charlotte Motor Speedway, is losing 41,000 seats.(wgxa.tv), see image of the CMS construction at Slugger Labbe's Twitter.(12-10-2014)
UPDATE: Alterations announced this week are in line with a trend of tracks removing seats. Charlotte, after removing 41,000 seats this winter, will be down to permanent seating of 89,000 in 2015, a startlingly low capacity considering its location in NASCAR's epicenter. But it's par for the course. Atlanta is removing 17,000 seats to get down to 75,000; Dover is removing 17,500 seats to get down to 95,500; and Daytona is removing its backstretch grandstands of 46,500 next spring to go to 101,500 seats. Other tracks on the circuit have made similar changes.
At its peak in 2007, International Speedway Corp.'s 12 major tracks had 1.1 million grandstand seats (not including suites). After the Daytona renovation, ISC will be down 30 percent to approximately 761,000 seats.
In 2013 alone, the following ISC tracks cut seats: Talladega (from 108,000 to 78,000), Richmond (91,000 to 71,000), Chicagoland (69,000 to 55,500), Michigan (84,000 to 71,000), California (81,000 to 68,000), Darlington (60,000 to 58,000) and Homestead (56,000 to 46,000). Any additional cuts likely will be revealed when its annual report comes out in January.
With the current Charlotte and Atlanta reductions, Speedway Motorsports has cut 101,000 seats (12 percent) across seven of its tracks since 2009, although it added 38,000 at Kentucky when it moved a Cup race to that track. SMI, which includes suites in its capacity estimates, cut capacity in 2013 at Atlanta (from 98,000 to 92,000), Bristol (158,000 to 153,000) and New Hampshire (96,000 to 95,000).
Dover listed 135,000 seats in 2009, so its reduction in recent years is 29 percent. At one point, it reduced 20,000 seats by replacing the current seats with wider ones for more fan comfort, a move done by many racetracks. Indianapolis and Pocono, privately owned, do not have to report their capacities, but Indianapolis also has removed seats.(see full article at the Sporting News)(12-11-2014)
Dover International Speedway to install new catch fence for 2015 season: Dover International Speedway officials announced on Monday that the track will install a new catch fence that will be in place for the May 29-31, 2015 NASCAR race weekend. The process of removing the current fence began on Monday, Sept. 29, one day after the "AAA 400" NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the Monster Mile, is scheduled for completion by Jan. 1, 2015. The new fence will be installed by Smith Fence, a Florida-based contractor that has performed similar installations at other facilities on the NASCAR circuit. The project will incorporate the most up-to-date technologies and stand at 21-feet tall, up from its current 15-feet. "Because the track is known as a self-clearing racetrack, with steep banking, we are fortunate to have never had a NASCAR vehicle become airborne and hit the catch fence," said Michael Tatoian, executive vice president and COO of Dover Motorsports, Inc. "With that in mind, our current fence served us well. But as with anything at our facility, we've been looking for some time to update and improve it. With all of the new technologies and safety advances made in safety fencing, we wanted to do this right." Other improvements at the Speedway in recent years include the installation of SAFER barriers, the widening and lengthening of pit road, new fan care medical facilities and many fan experience improvements. Throughout the summer months, work was completed on drilling for the support structures that will hold the fence. Beginning this week after the completion of the track's 2014 season, demolition of the old fence began, with construction of the new fence occurring simultaneously.
NASCAR returns to Dover International Speedway May 29-31, 2015 for the May 31 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, the May 30 "Buckle Up 200" presented by Click It or Ticket NASCAR Xfinity Series race and the May 29 "Lucas Oil 200" NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race; and again on Oct. 2-4, 2015 for the Oct. 4 "AAA 400" NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, Oct. 3 NASCAR Xfinity Series race and Oct. 2 "Drive Sober 150" presented by the Delaware Office of Highway Safety NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race.

Lights coming to Dover track? UPDATE No Could night racing at Dover International Speedway become a reality? We have no idea, but Dale Earnhardt Jr. sure did spot something interesting on Thursday. Per Dale Earnhardt Jr's twitter (see image there): "I see foundations for light poles." There hasn't been any kind of announcement from the track to suggest that night racing is in Dover's immediate future.(FoxSports)
UPDATE: from a Dover International Speedway twitter: "We thought people would think that but didn't think you'd be first! It's actually for a new catch fence we're installing in 2015."(9-26-2014)
Dover to remove more seats? n 2001, Dover International Speedway completed an expansion of the grandstand that had been ongoing for 16 years. The result: 135,000 seats for NASCAR fans. But since the economy crashed in 2008, NASCAR tracks across the country have battled sagging attendance, a problem that has been all too apparent on TV broadcasts showing rows and rows of empty seats. In recent years, track officials have covered some of those empty sections with large banners. Now, Dover officials are considering removing some seats entirely. Denis McGlynn, president and CEO of Dover Downs Gaming and Entertainment and Dover Motorsports Inc., said there is "serious consideration" of removing seats. In 2011, the track cut capacity from 135,000 to 113,000 by widening seats. Company officials would not say when a decision would be finalized. A lot of factors, like sight lines to the track and restroom placement, have to be taken into account.(in part from USA Today)(9-26-2014)
Dover International Speedway announces race dates for the 2015 season: Dover International Speedway officials have announced the track's 2015 race dates, as two tripleheader NASCAR weekends will return to the track on May 29-31 and Oct. 2-4, 2015. The spring weekend at Dover will include the Friday, May 29 "Lucas Oil 200" NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race, the Saturday, May 30 "Buckle Up 200" presented by Click It or Ticket NASCAR Nationwide Series race and the Sunday, June 1 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. The fall weekend brings the Oct. 2 "Drive Sober 150" presented by the Delaware Office of Highway Safety NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race, the Oct. 3 NASCAR Nationwide Series race and Oct. 4 "AAA 400" NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.
For the second straight year, the fall NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race will serve as the first "knockout race" in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The third event in the 10-race Chase, the "AAA 400" is the finale of the Challenger Round of the playoff format, and will see the championship field reduced from 16 to 12 drivers by day's end. The Speedway's three-tier pricing program will also return in 2015, offering fans reduced pricing on tickets as long as they commit to the track early. For instance, fans that purchase their Sunday, May 31 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series tickets by Dec. 1, 2015 can save nearly 50% in some seating sections as part of the track's Preferred Pricing Period. "We're pleased to welcome back NASCAR for its twice-annual trips to Dover in 2015," said Michael Tatoian, executive vice president and COO of Dover Motorsports, Inc. "In addition, the return of our three-tier pricing program will give fans the opportunity to lock in their race tickets at a great value." Fans can begin placing deposits on tickets for both the May 29-31 and Oct. 2-4, 2015 race weekends. Returning fans have the opportunity to reserve their same seats for 2015 race weekends. For tickets, to place a deposit or for more information, call 800-441-RACE.(Dover International Speedway)(8-26-2014)
Dover introduces Reward Our Troops Program: Dover International Speedway has announced its all-new Reward Our Troops program, a ticket donation initiative that provides individual ticket purchasers or businesses the opportunity to make a contribution toward sending an active member of the military, a Veteran or family members of our fallen heroes to a Sunday NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the Monster Mile.

Anyone that makes a donation will be eligible for a tax write-off, and will receive thank you notes from the military and photos from the event.(Dover Speedway)(8-6-2014)
Dover Motorsports selling Nashville Superspeedway: Dover Motorsports, Inc. announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Nashville Superspeedway facility to NeXovation, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Dover Motorsports and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nashville Speedway U.S.A., Inc., will sell the Nashville Superspeedway facility along with some related equipment and assets for $27 million in cash and the assumption by NeXovation of obligations of Dover Motorsports under certain Variable Rate Tax Exempt Infrastructure Revenue Bonds. The Bonds are the obligation of the Sports Authority of the County of Wilson, Tennessee and were issued by the Sports Authority in 1999 in order to build certain infrastructure improvements benefiting the speedway. Debt service on the Bonds, which have a remaining principal balance of $18,800,000, is payable from property and sales taxes generated by the facility. Principal and interest on the Bonds are secured by a letter of credit provided by Dover Motorsports which will be replaced by a letter of credit provided by NeXovation. Commenting on the sale, Dover Motorsports CEO, Denis McGlynn said, "This is a great deal for all concerned insofar as we can transfer an under-utilized, high quality asset to NeXovation, who will create and implement a new business model and re-activate Nashville Superspeedway for the benefit of everyone in the area." Closing is expected to take place in the third quarter and is subject to customary closing conditions.(Dover Motorsports)(5-29-2014)

I'm periodically asked why I share political humor on this blog. The glib and easy answer is that it's good to share amusing material.
But there's also a serious point, especially when disseminating jokes from the late-night talk shows. Politicians should be mocked. And the more pretentious they are, the more vicious we should be.
Even the ones we like should be subject to ridicule. Elected officials often get very egotistical because they spend all day being flattered by lobbyists. Our role is to make sure there's a countervailing force.
So enjoy these gems.

Pacific Light nabs $3M
- Erik Siemers
- Managing Editor- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
A Portland startup developing technology to make LED lights more efficient and less expensive has landed a $3 million venture capital round led by local investor groups.
Pacific Light Technologies, working from the Portland State University Business Accelerator, has closed $2 million of the Series A round led by the Oregon Angel Fund and Portland-based venture capital firm Pivotal Investments.
CEO Ron Nelson, who also contributed to the round, said another $1 million has been committed and should close by the end of July.
The 13-person company is developing a technology Nelson says will allow manufacturers of long-lasting LED lights to provide better light output while slashing the cost potentially by more than half.
"We believe we have the magic formula," Nelson said.
The funding round will be used to continue development. The company expects to return to the market later this year for a Series B round of between $4 million and $8 million, which would help build a sales team and gear-up for manufacturing, which Nelson said could start sometime in the second half of 2013.
Growing market
The market for LED — or light-emitting diode — lights has surged over the past four years as innovations have helped transition it from a display technology to a viable competitor to traditional household lighting sources.
LEDs emit high-intensity blue energy that, when emitted through various colored phosphors, converts to the warmer hues typical of home or office use.
The sale of LED light fixtures and replacement lamps surged 45 percent last year to $9.3 billion, according to Silicon Valley research firm Strategies Unlimited. It's expected to continue growing the next five years.
"We can see a road map, a path, to LED efficiency getting better and better and over the next 10 to 15 years becoming the dominant lighting technology," said Bob Steele an industry consultant and former analyst with Strategies Unlimited who tracks the LED lighting market.
But it's still just a sliver of the overall $80 billion lighting market.
Despite LED's promise of electricity savings from more efficient, longer-lasting bulbs, cost has proven to be a challenging barrier, especially to household consumers. LED light bulbs retail typically for more than $20 apiece, compared to slightly more than $1 for traditional incandescent household bulbs.
Pacific Light's technology, though, promises to narrow the gap for LEDs, with Nelson saying prices per bulb could drop to around $10.
New technology
Pacific Light aims to replace the use of those phosphors with "quantum dots" — chemically created microscopic semiconductors that Nelson says provide stronger output and is tuneable to different hues.
In addition to improving the color, Nelson said it will allow manufacturers to use fewer LEDs per bulb, reducing the cost of the product.
Robin Teitzel, an investor in the Oregon Angel Fund who conducted the fund's due diligence process on Pacific Light, said five lighting industry manufacturers hold key patents into certain colored phosphors, leading to a raft of patent infringement claims. Pacific Light Technologies, he said, offers a solution to manufacturers that bypasses the use of those phosphors.
Nelson said the use of quantum dots has been a curiosity to the lighting industry for more than two decades, yet no one has been able to commercialize the technology.
Pacific's technology was borne out of now-defunct Intel Corp.-backed solar energy startup SpectraWatt Inc.
Backed by Intel Capital, SpectraWatt launched in 2008 with plans to build solar power modules out of a plant in Hillsboro.
Nelson said SpectraWatt attempted to apply quantum dots to solar energy cells to improve efficiency. It didn't pan out — the company later moved to New York, shut down in 2010 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year.
Though market conditions were credited for the company's demise, Nelson said the quantum dots used by SpectraWatt were moisture sensitive and didn't adapt well to solar cells.
So SpectraWatt went about refining the process of making quantum dots under the guidance of Juanita Kurtin, the company's vice president and head of research and development at the time who is now Pacific Light's chief technology officer.
Kurtin helped found Pacific Light in May 2011 with the aid of the Oregon Angel Fund and, soon, a $250,000 research and development grant from the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute.
In January the company acquired the quantum dot intellectual property from SpectraWatt.
The company manufactured its first quantum dots at the PSU lab last summer and has been sampling the technology with major lighting industry companies since.
"This is the holy grail of the lighting industry," said Nelson. The industry "understands that quantum dots can have that impact."
Fast Fact
LED lights could account for 52 percent of the commercial lighting market by 2021, according to Pike Research.

Ga. bill would let black officers recover lost years in pension plan
Copyright 2006 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Black police officers who were shut out of a pension fund, some for almost 30 years, because of discrimination moved closer Wednesday to being able to recoup their lost years in the retirement plan.
The House Retirement Committee passed a bill that would let any active police officer who worked before 1976 buy time in the Peace Officers' Annuity and Benefits fund. The measure could soon be debated by the full House.
The fund was created in 1950, but many black police officers and sheriff's deputies say they were shut out of it because of their race until the 1970s.

Kat Graham has a thing for flashy footwear! The actress was spotted in the same $170 Melody Ehsani x Reebok Betwix Mid Sneakers Keyshia Cole sported in August.
While Kat paired hers with a studded beanie, printed dress, and a necklace that resembles the $72 Melody Ehsani Large King of the Jungle Necklace, Keyshia opted for denim overall shorts.
The python skin kicks feature spikes and the word 'Love' written across the toes. Both ladies wore them with different color laces.
Kat took this one for me! Though her look has more going on (when does she ever opt for simplicity?) it works better.
What do you think? Who wore 'em better?
Kay's look has nothing to do w/those sneakers and Keisha looks ghetto fabu. I don't like either quite frankly.
Kat won this heads down. I love her dress. Also, she looks like Solange a little in this pic.
I think the shoes suit Keisha's more laid back outfit
Neither one of them did the shoes justice, but I'll go with Keyshia. Her look makes sense at least.
love Kat's dress, but not with those shoes…Keyshia looks alright i guess…Mehhh
Kat gave us different, Keyshia gave us Keyshia. Feeling the kicks – need to step my sneaker game up.
I totally thought Kat was Solange!! I'm going with Kat on this one.
Loving Kat's dress where is it from?? <3
I would Most definetly say Keyshia because I feel like if you're just dressing laid back, then you should were some shoes that portrays that idea as well.
