Good to be back after a week of cross-country travel. Lots to talk about, from Jeff Gordon ticking Martin Truex Jr. and others to Bobby Labonte leaving the 71 to the unbelievable Wimbledon match. Yeah, that was exciting as well. Have at it.
Which of the upcoming races do you consider Jeff Gordon's best chances at a win?
Honestly, Gordon is good everywhere. It could be at Daytona in two weeks or Chicago the next week or Indianapolis after that. As long as Truex and company aren't taking him out, that is.
Would you consider the Brickyard 400 the second-biggest race on the Sprint Cup schedule? I know it's the one I'd want to win other than the Daytona 500.
Probably so, although it doesn't have the long, historic significance of a win at Darlington. It only gets this attention because it's at Indianapolis. From a pure stock car perspective I'd go with the Lady in Black.
It will be interesting to see how the Hendrick lineup shakes up in the next two years. Obviously, Kasey Kahne is going to hop on board no later than 2012 (hopefully 2011), but where will that leave Mark Martin?
Martin will be fine. Hendrick will help set him up with some organization that is capable of doing well. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out though. Hearing lots of things but nothing I can nail down.
Since you Cover NASCAR which Speedway have you been to as a Race Car Driver?
The same ones you've been to as a journalist.
will bobby labonte be able to finish races now that he s not with trg and where will he go after his 2 race deal with james finch
He'll be in good equipment with Robby Gordon and Phoenix Racing. After that there is speculation he could replace Reed Sorenson in the 83 at Red Bull Racing.
Which NASCAR Nationwide Series Race do you think that Danica Patrick will finish in the top 10?
The same one I get a top 10 at.
Who do you think will win the New England 200 & the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire?
I'll go with Logano in the Nationwide race and Jeff Burton in the Cup race.
Hey David, What the heck is going on with the Ford drivers? Did they miss the set-up with the new spoilers?
They've struggled long before the switch to spoilers. The folks at Roush claim they got some bad testing data that threw them off. Teams get off from time to time. RCR went through a couple of spells after Earnhardt's death where it struggled.
So is JGR still tryin ta put Justin Allgaier in a fourth car
Penske says he's going to keep the option on Allgaier for next year. I really am not sure Justin is ready for Cup until he gets one more solid season in Nationwide under him.
So wats the latest with Kasey k for next year-and jeff G sponsorship
Not sure with Kasey, although I hear UPS may be the sponsor for 2012. As for Gordon, all roads point to Mobil One.
A lot of people complain that the start and park teams hurt the sport. Do you think NASCAR will consider lowering the number of cars to make a full field from the current 43?
NASCAR has given no indication it'll cut back on the number of entries. As for hurting the sport that is open to argument. Maybe hurts the integrity of the sport, but don't think it impact the quality of racing.
Do you think Danica will be able to keep the 7 car in the top 30 in owner points in the NW series?
If she doesn't then she might want to consider staying in Indy Cars. She's in great equipment.
Why do people cry so much about Danica? At least she is racing in the NW series to develop (I could have sworn that is what the series is for), unlike Kyle, Carl, Brad, and Kevin.
Not sure people cry about Danica as much as she's just the popular target right now because of her popularity. But I agree she is doing it the right way.
Road America takes Sonoma's June Cup date, Sonoma gets moved to the Chase on Fontana's date, and Fontana's date kicks Watkins Glen off the schedule.
Like it all except kicking Watkins Glen off the schedule. Simply remove California.
How do you think Dale Sr. would have faired if he were racing against today's competators in today's cars?
Interesting question. If he were in his prime I believe he'd still be a threat every week. As we see even today, great talent and great equipment usually results in great finishes.
hey newt. i never knew the 17 has gone through so many crew chiefs? typically switching cc's would be about finding chemistry. but after so many switches is it still about chemistry?
Chemistry is what it's all about. Matt just hasn't found the person he gels with like he and Reiser did.
Hi David!Can you please tell me why Mark Martin is struggling every week now? Are they having trouble since the spoiler came back? I thought Mark would be one of the first racers to want the spoiler back.
They're off a tad, but he's still in the top 12 so he's not horrible. If you remember JJ is the only Hendrick driver that has scratched Victory Lane this year. What this shows me as much as anything is how tough it is to win today. Martin got on a roll last year and won a few he maybe shouldn't have.
The 88 team literally unloaded a broken car right off the hauler for Sonoma, waisting a practice session fixing it, is anyone at the 5/88 shop being held accountable? It seems to me these kind of shenanigans would be dealt with swiftly if it were the 24/48 shop. What is going on at the 5/88 shop?
They knew they had the setup from last year they could turn to, so they were exploring other things to improve. The problem with switching setups last weekend was it took a long time to make the switch and they didn't want to waste practice time doing it. Hey, he finished 11th. It all worked out.
with scott riggs runs in the 21 care do u riggs getting a shot in nationwide with a good team since hes tested with jgr and then with the runs with rcr...thanks and have a great weekend
Haven't heard anything definite on Riggs, but will check. Would be good to see him get another chance with a decent team.
Are Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch good teammates? I just can't picture them getting along, I often wonder if JGRs shop is big enough for both of their egos.
They are friends and work together as teammates. I can't necessarily say that makes them good teammates after what I've seen the last month.
I know that there are some IRL racers that have made the transition to NASCAR very well (Stewart, Montoya, Allmandigger), but you think that they should what Danica is doing in order to become successful (unlike Francitti and the always struggling Hornish)?
The problem is the successful IRL drivers who want to make it in Cup don't want to spend several years in a lower series getting up to speed. Montoya has made the jump nicely so I can't say there is one right or wrong way to do it. It takes time either way.
Do you think that Logano will pay Harvick and/or Montoya back this weekend? I think he needs to start putting some of these guys who are bullying him into the turn 3 wall ASAP!
I'm more interested to see what Truex Jr. does with Jeff Gordon. Not sure Logano wants to bite off anymore with Harvick and Montoya. He made his point at Pocono.
Do you honestly believe the Mr H is gonna let Kasey Kahne waste a season with Phoenix Racing next year?
I've said all along I believe Kasey will wind up in the 5 even though Mark Martin says he's not going anywhere. The longer it drags out the more I wonder if that will happen. But I agree unless done just right it will be a waste.
Whats the deal with the Fords this year? The 17 is burning through crew chiefs faster than Mears loses a ride. So who's to blame here?
Jack Roush will pay handsomely for the answer. He believes it is linked to bad testing data, but gotta believe it's more.
So I read that Junior won the race against Shaq. What was Shaq's part of the bargain he has to do?
Push Junior around the track in a pink bikini or something like that. Do we really want to see that?
Have you ever been in a Nascar???
As a competitor, no.
Jeff Burton.
Nascar history in the 90s for safety was pretty bad. I remember a series of stories from the Orlando Sentinel in 1994 and more stories in 2000 right before Dale sr. died recommending all the things Nascar has implemented. Both stories recommended the Hans device witch was out in 94, soft walls and energy adsorbent bumbers and doors. The stories from 94 even had a diagram of what the car should have, and it looks pretty close to what we have today minus the wing. So does nascar deserve the credit for really making the sport safer or was it just a knee jerk reaction for killing the biggist star in the sport.?A list of some of the drivers killed before any action was taken.Dale EarnhardtJ.D. McDuffieNeil Bonnet Rodney OrrKenny Irwin Adam pettyTony RoperJohn NemechekClifford Allison
The short answer is Earnhardt's death did advance the safety initiative.
Hey David! The timing of Bobby Labonte driving for Robby Gordon is puzzling to me. Robby gets a great finish at Sonoma, is solidly in the Top-35 in points, and he steps aside for Bobby Labonte, who can use the past-champion provisional. Maybe it is time to revisit some of these rules.
What is wrong with Tony Stewart??? He seems miserable. Even when he comes in the top 5 or 10 he still seems mad.
Tony doesn't like to lose in case you haven't noticed.
Why is Ganassi lacking so much consistancy? They always have a lot of speed, but the 1 and 42 either finish 5th or 35th.
Some of it is bad luck, being caught up in other people's mess. It happens, but you're right they have had a lot of speed.
David - Thanks for the blog on Labonte. He has earned the respect of everyone on and off the track and this is just the latest example. Forward bite was critical at Sonoma and the 48 car had it. I read that it is also essential at Loudon. Knaus mentioned they brought new product to Sonoma, but it was an older car. By product does he mean setup and will this translate to the New Hampshire track for the 48?
He doe mean setup. If you look at what the Gibbs group has done it's been with last year's cars for the most part but, as Hamlin said last week, the right setup.
Should NASCAR take a cue from tennis? The race isn't over unless the margin of victory is less than 1 second, unless every car has crashed except for one.
Thought that was what they were doing with the green-white-checkered finishes. Glad they limited to 3. Can you imagine if it was like the Wimbledon tiebreak and they went 70 g-w-c?
Missed your chat last week. Hope you had a good vacation. What did you bring back for Ernie?
The trip was wonderful. I recommend anybody wanting to see the country do it by car. Just take off and explore. Ernie would have loved it, but over 2000 miles with Ernie might have been a bit much. My mom spoiled him to death. The dog had more toys when I returned than I did as a kid.
do u see riggs in nwide or cup next year and with a decent ride giving his good runs lately
He could do better than a lot of drivers out there now in my humble opinion. Will he get the opportunity is anothers story.
Great article on Labonte, it's great to see that a champion like himself isn't satisfied with starting and parking.
Thanks. My thoughts exactly.
I don't understand the 17 crew chief switch. He's some 150 points inside the chase and has run consistently all year...what gives?
It's like a marriage. Things may seem OK on the outside but behind closed doors they're not.
dave i think the only reason bobby left the 83 was because he knew the 83 ride would be open
You mean the 71....and I can tell you he had conversations with the folks at Red Bull, but not to the point he left guaranteed a job.
I have a challenge for you David. Find me one other person other than Bruton Smith that wants to see two races at Vegas.
You'd lose that one Carter. Afraid many fans, and yes even media, that would like to see a second race in Vegas just because of the destination. If you're not going to have great racing you better have a place fans love.
What do you think the realistic odds of the 88 making the chase are? How about winning a race this year? Multiple races?
For Junior to be this close after what he's gone through the past month or two has to make his team confident of the odds. I believe he'll make it and win a race somewhere.
David - Everyone is talking about Truex and Gordon but does Heff really need to worry about Kurt Bush? Kurt went almost the whJle way and finished in the 30's when JG got into him and cut his tire.
Like I said, Jeff has more than one driver to worry about this weekend. You make good points though.
How is it that Matt Kenseth can change crew chiefs (this being his 3rd crew chief this year) and not catch the flack Jr cathes for changing 1 crew chief in 3 years..
Because he's not NASCAR's most popular driver and under intense fan scrutiny.
So jeff gordon ruined all of our days and said after the race people were racing him to hard yet he finished 5th? that doesnt seem fair?
Too funny.
Hey David, I was wondering if Kasey Kahne still has a shot at making the Sprint Cup Chase following back to back top 5s?
He's got a long road to get there, but the way this season has done I wouldn't rule out anything.
Why did jimmie johnson have to be behind ambrose when he stalled? the first thing i thought when that happened was now im going to have to listen to people say nascar fixed the race for johnson
People forget Jimmie dominated the first half of the race. He was able to check out almost every time he started in front. At least the race was one by one of the two drivers that deserved it.
Hey David, isnt it about that time that Tony Stewart gets on a roll?
I'm sure he think so.
Would it be fair to consider JPM the favorite for the 400 considering his performance last year?
I wouldn't go that far. I'd still say JJ is the favorite.
Enjoyed the article today. Did they used to put drivers on probation back in the day? I wonder whether you might see consistent more aggressive driving if driver didn't get shut down for a few weeks after a spin out. For example if Carl and Brad weren't put on probation don't you think intimidation might have had a chance to manifest its self?
Thanks, but from what the drivers say the reason nobody is intimidated today is the cars are so equal and so are the drivers.
So, was Bobby Labonte leaving the 71 a case of his realizing he was still too good to be start-and-parking, or was there more to the story?
In his mind I'd say that is exactly it as far as I've learned.
Who is going to crew cheif Jr in the 3 car at daytona?
Will have to check on that one. Want to see Eury Jr?
Robin Miller says Jimmie and Kasey have told Randy Bernard they're in for the Indy 500-Coke 600 double. Think that's a legit statement?
Only if the time of one of the races is moved to allow it to happen without the drivers being penalized on the Cup side.
Heard anything about Smoke's sponsor search.? Mobil one With Newman again?
Hearing Mobile One with Gordon. Hearing Smoke folks are talking to several sponsors, including Citi Financial and Stanley which are tied to other teams.
David,Do you expect Kahne in a Chevy or do you think he could he drive something else.
Who would get your votes for the Hall of Fame's second class?
Davis Pearson, Raymond Parks, Dale Inman, Cale Yarborough and Lee Petty. Yours?
Bruton is bonkers if he takes a date away from Louden. It sells out. Take one from ATL. It's a snooze fest and never sells out!!!
You just realized he is bonkers? He's just playing games. Don't pay it much attention.
Where do you think Sadler drives next year? For Jr. in nationwide?
Know this sounds crazy, but RPM needs to hang onto him. That company is in trouble. Could be down to two cars. Could be down to none if some of what I'm hearing is true.
This what I think will happen for Danica in the next couple of year. 1. Danica does indycar ovals only in 2011, 2. Danica does 25+ Nationwide Series races nex year, 3 Danica leaves indycar at the end of 2011 season, 4. Danica does another season with JR Motorsports in the Nationwide Series in 2012 full time, 5. Danica will go to Sprint Cup Series in 2013 full time
Here's what I think. Danica will be in Cup in 2012 at JR Motorsports after it expands or Stewart-Haas Racing.
Hey Dave.What are the real possible options for Kahne you are hearing about?
The 5, Stewart-Haas Racing or another team with Hendrick support. Hearing SHR isn't on the A or B plan. Hendrick says he has lots more options than he first expected. We'll see, but I believe he already knows the outcome of this one. Ultimately I see Kahne in the 5 with UPS as a sponsor, albeit that could be 2012.
Being that I'm not a factor from week to week, not to mention the chase, do you really feel it is necessary for me to get revenge on Gordon? I mean, I just feel fortunate to even have a ride in the Cup Series.
Yes I feel it's necessary. Show you're a man. Stand up and fight.
What is the deal with the Daytona race being Broadcast in 3D
So the big wrecks will jump out at you?
Any word on possible testing scenarios for 2011 and beyond after the "Town Hall Meeting"?
I expect you'll see limited testing, but nothing like what it was.
What's up Newton, glad to be a part of your chat this afternoon! Who ya got this weekend?
Glad you're here. I've got Jeff Burton. You?
Who wins a race first this season, the 88 or 5, and where do you see the win coming at
Mark Martin at Pocono. Heck, I don't know. Do you?
Any updates on who/what sponsors my man Harvick next season?
Hearing Budweiser deal in final stages.
Hey David your the best of all the chatters on ESPN, is there any chance Bill Elliott pulls a Mark Martin and comes back for a full season? Thanks
Why thanks. Just here to serve. As for Elliott I can't see that. He's enjoying the part-time role and is involved with his son's racing future. Had Martin's son not given up racing Mark likely wouldn't be driving fulltime.
so newt help me here, im trying to figure out who sponsors the 29 next year help me please
See previous answer. Then go drink a Budweiser.
Thanks for answering my question. Do you think nascar is playing with fire with have at boys mentality? Where do you think safety would be at now if dale sr. was never killed?
As for playing with fire, they have opened the doors and it'll be interesting to see how far drivers push it before being slapped on the wrist. Still think many safety devices would have been implemented without Dale Sr.'s death, but that did speed things up.
Does being broadcast in 3D mean we will have a better chance of seeing "debris" when a caution is called by Nascar?
Had to post this because it's the funniest comment I've seen today.
Anty truth to the statement PEPSI has sole rights to HMS and Budweiser is not an option?
Nope. Pepsi had exclusive rights to several HMS cars but not all of them. Rick Hendrick told me that himself.
Having said that, Budweiser appears headed for Harvick.
Do you feel that Martin Truex Jr. will ever totally live up to the potential that he showed for Chance 2 while running in the Busch Series? I thought that he would be the next big thing but he seems to be settling into a Jamie Mac type of driver. :(
He did make the Chase one year and is close this year. Whether he truly makes it to championship level I can't say. So much depends on so many different things, from team chemistry to management.
With a new baby, why would JJ want to take the risk of running an Indy car that he isn't familiar with and isn't exactly the safest car for inexperienced drivers. I get that he's a racer and it's Indy, but it seems a little foolish to me.
Having a new baby on the way has nothing to do with it. I'll believe this one when it happens.
That's it for me today. Thanks for all the questions. If I missed you and you are dying for my input ask me on Twitter at DNewtonespn and I'll try to get to it. Later.

Should Congress Adopt the Rubio version of the DREAM Act?
April 26, 2012
Ben Boychuk
THE ISSUE: Democrats and Republicans are offering very different versions of the DREAM Act, involving the legal status of young people raised in this country, but whose parents came to the country illegally. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is proposing "DREAM ACT 2.0" which would offer them temporary non-immigrant visas.
Should Congress adopt the Rubio version of the DREAM Act?
Pia Lopez: No
The United States has two categories of visas.
Immigrant visas (green cards) are for people who want to be permanent residents, the first step on a path to citizenship.
Non-immigrant visas â visitor visas â are for people who intend to stay for a specific, limited period. These people have a home and binding ties outside the United States.
Rubios proposal would hopelessly muddle this system.
He would treat kids who have been raised and schooled in the United States, who have little or no connection to their parents home country, as visitors â except they would be able to study, work, join the military and get a drivers license. "It doesnt allow you to become a resident or citizen," he notes.
However, Rubio adds, "It doesnt prohibit you from applying."
Really? If he believes that, he doesnt really understand how our broken immigration system works. With a non-immigrant visa, you can apply to adjust your status if you have parents who are U.S. citizens (or have green cards) or if youre a refugee. Those avenues are out for these kids.
Or you can apply for an employment-based immigrant visa. However, these visas are limited to an outrageously low 140,000 a year, and only 9,800 for any single country. A whole lot more people want an employment-based green card than are available. The backlogs are years long.
In short, Rubios proposal is no solution at all. It does nothing to reverse the marginality and long-term prospects of homegrown kids whose roots are in this country.
Earlier versions of the DREAM Act would treat these kids as potential citizens â the best course. If they arrived in the United States before age 16, had been in the country for five years, graduated from a U.S. high school and had no criminal record, they would get conditional legal status. They could get a green card within six years if they went to college or joined the U.S. military.
That version doesnt punish kids for the sins of their parents.
It rewards achievement â high school graduation, college or military service. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., says he plans a floor vote before the November election.
This renewed debate comes as U.S. immigration and birthrates are in decline and our population is aging.
Now is a good time to reform the immigration system to reflect our needs. A DREAM Act that offers a pathway to success â not continued purgatory â would be a small start.
Ben Boychuk: Yes
As always, specifics matter. Were arguing about an outline, and quibbling with what at this point amounts to bullet points in a speech.
In short, were arguing over broad principles, not particulars.
We wont know what the actual legislation looks like for months. In principle, however, Rubios proposal is worth hashing out.
But I will predict with metaphysical certainty that Rubios DREAM Act alternative does not represent "continued purgatory" for the children of illegal immigrants, as Pia would have it. Nor would it establish "American Apartheid," as Democratic consultant Jason Stanford proclaimed at the Huffington Post the other day, or create "a nightmare for immigrants," as attorney Raul A. Reyes argued in the pages of the Los Angeles Times.
Apocalyptic rhetoric aside, Rubios proposal is simply a compromise, a stopgap â one of those virtuous but messy and elusive constructs that commentators often laud in theory but often deplore in practice.
As a political matter, Republicans and conservatives will not support the Democrats long-held idea of creating a virtually unobstructed path to citizenship for illegal immigrants or their children. That would reward lawlessness and further undermine our rickety naturalization process. Not a chance.
But Republicans and conservatives might support a policy that addresses one facet of the illegal immigration problem â what to do about the kids? â without obviously undermining the principles of fairness, sovereignty and the rule of law.
When Rubio says younger illegal immigrants wouldnt be barred from applying eventually for some sort of permanent status, Pia correctly notes thats impossible under current law.
Rather than exposing Rubios ignorance of our crazy-quilt immigration process, it suggests he is really looking to create a unique class of visa to meet a unique need.
Call it second-class citizenship, if you like. In reality, it isnt citizenship at all. But it is documentation â something these children of illegal immigrants very much want and need.
Rubio acknowledges that his idea doesnt address the larger deficiencies of existing policy. "One thing at a time here," he told the Miami Herald this month. "After we take care of the kids issue, I think the next step is going to have to be an improvement in our enforcement mechanism. And at the same time, modernization of our legal immigration system, (a) guest worker program, etc."
Thats a worthy fight for another day. But in a political climate of all-or-nothing intransigence over immigration reform (and much else), maybe we should take our small victories when and wherever we find them.

Alex Rodriguez's cousin, Yuri Sucart, pleads guilty in Biogensis caseChris Cwik at Big League Stew1 hr ago
Alex Rodriguez's cousin, Yuri Sucart, pleaded guilty Friday to a federal drug charge connected to the Biogensis scandal, according to the Associated Press.
Sucart, 52, admitted that he, along with others, conspired to distribute human growth hormone to athletes. He'll receive eight to 14 months in prison after reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors.
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball: Sign up and join a league today!]
In a statement read by U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga, Sucart admitted to bringing players who were interested in obtaining steroids to former Biogensis of America owner Anthony Bosch.
"You actively recruited the players by telling them you had a 'doctor' who could help the players get bigger and recover from injuries faster,'' Altonaga read. ''The 'doctor' did not accept any checks, only cash, because cash did not leave behind any evidence."
NL Central 2015 preview: Cubs get all the hype, but Cardinals are team to beatYahoo Sports Staff at Big League Stew1 hr ago
With opening day approaching, the Big League Stew crew is here to get you up to speed on the season ahead. We're examining each division over the next two weeks, looking at the big questions, the important players and making our predictions. Our series continues with the NL Central.
Surprise, surprise, the NL Central is going to be competitive this year. That's like saying Kentucky is going to be good at basketball or Drake is going to put out a hit song. Each of the past four seasons, the NL Central has sent two teams to the postseason. In 2013, it sent three teams. So we know it's a tough division.

The AP Stylebook just banned all of your favorite terms for 'home run'Chris Cwik at Big League Stew4 hrs ago
If you watch a lot of baseball, you know that not all home runs are created equal. While all are exciting, there's a difference between a ball that barely gets over the fence and the ball Albert Pujols hit off Brad Lidge in 2005.
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball: Sign up and join a league today!]
Describing the former as a "home run" is fine, but that Pujols play is something else entirely. In the past, you might have referred to that hit as a "jack," "bomb," or "dinger." You shouldn't do that anymore, according to the AP Stylebook, the authority on style and grammar guidelines for journalists.

Justin Verlander takes selfie with unsuspecting Justin Verlander fanMike Oz at Big League Stew4 hrs ago
"Hey, kid, turn around!"
It's hard to look at Justin Verlander's latest selfie and not immediately have that reaction. You see, Verlander snapped a pic with a kid in a Verlander shirsey inside a Starbucks. Only the kid was turned around looking at the barista and not the guy whose name was on his back.
"Kid, turn around, hurry!"
Roy Halladay did something similar at an amusement park in January, but that was with a fully grown fan. For the sake of the kid, we're happy to pass along that Verlander said the kid was surprised when he turned around. We hope Verlander signed the kid's coffee cup or something. (Wait, why is that kid in a Starbucks line, shouldn't he be in school?!)
Nonetheless, we've decided this could be a great scavenger-hunt type game for pro athletes — trying to find fans wearing their jerseys out in the wild. Like at a coffee shop. Or the mall. Or a grocery store. We'd definitely enjoy the pictures.
Astros to introduce drool-inducing Chicken & Waffle ConeChris Cwik at Big League Stew5 hrs ago
Chicken and waffles are already a brilliant, yet crazy, food creation. You might initially balk at the idea of combining the two, but you'll immediately understand the hype after your first bite.
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball: Sign up and join a league today!]
The Houston Astros understand that sweet and salty, like Biggio and Bagwell, are one of the best combinations of all time. That's why they've decided to take crazy to a new level with the Chicken & Waffle Cone.
New at Astros games: Chicken & Waffle Cone w/mashed potatoes & honey mustard drizzle pic.twitter.com/y2vDEjjnjm
Your eyes do not deceive you. That's chicken in a waffle cone, served with mashed potatoes and a honey mustard sauce.
While it's tough to justify substituting a waffle with a waffle cone, it's important to note that one of the finest thinkers of our time has endorsed cones of meat.
Jonathan Lucroy's bat is literally on fireChris Cwik at Big League Stew6 hrs ago
Fans are subject to a lot of hyperbole when watching baseball. Players don't actually hit the ball a mile, or get blown away by a pitch or swing a hot bat.
Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy may take issue with that last one. In a recent promotional shoot, Lucroy decided to take the phrase literally.
#Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy re-defines swinging a hot bat. pic.twitter.com/vCsztwtb0n
That's pretty neat!

While there's no reason to doubt whether the photo is real, the presence of both the fire extinguisher and the buckets of water suggests Lucroy did his own stunt here.
David Ortiz sounds off on his PED critics: 'Nobody has been tested more than me'Israel Fehr at Big League Stew18 hrs ago
David Ortiz has made a career blasting baseballs a long way in the batter's box. Thursday, he came out and blasted any link he has to performance enhancing drugs, peeling back the curtain on MLB's testing process and what it has been like to live under suspicion for all these years.
In a lengthy, at times profane,essay published on the Players' Tribune, Ortiz, 39, says he's been tested more than 80 times since 2004, hasn't failed one, and had sharp words for those still out there who doubt that he has played clean and doesn't deserve a spot in the Hall of Fame.

It all goes back to 2009 when it was reported that he had failed a PED test in 2003:
Brady Aiken, unsigned No. 1 draft pick, announces he had Tommy John surgeryMike Oz at Big League Stew22 hrs ago
The wild story of prized pitching prospect Brady Aiken just got wilder: Aiken, 18, announced Thursday that he had Tommy John surgery this week, seven months after he failed to come to terms with the Houston Astros as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 amateur draft.
At the time, there was a dispute about the health of Aiken's elbow. The two sides had reportedly reached an agreement with a $6.5 million signing bonus. But after Aiken's physical, the Astros said they weren't happy with what they saw in his elbow. Believing he would need Tommy John surgery soon, the Astros reportedly lowered their offer to $5 million.
Ex-Cardinal Curt Ford attacked near St. Louis, told 'go back to Ferguson'Mike Oz at Big League Stew1 day ago
Curt Ford, a St. Louis Cardinals outfielder from 1985-1988, was the victim in an alleged racially motivated attack Wednesday at a St. Louis-area gas station. Ford was punched in the face and, according to police, was told by his attacker: "Go back to Ferguson you (racial slur)."
The attack happened at a Petro Mart gas station in Fenton, Mo., about 28 miles from Ferguson, the St. Louis suburb that was the epicenter of protests and racial turmoil after Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer there last August.

According to police, Ford was minding his business when his attacker — who was later arrested and identified as 37-year-old James Street — blind-sided him with a punch as they were both inside gas station's store.
Time Warner Cable expected to lose $1 billion in messy Dodgers TV dealChris Cwik at Big League Stew1 day ago
Time Warner Cable is expected to lose $1 billion in its messy deal involving the Los Angeles Dodgers' television rights, according to the New York Post.
The company acquired the right to air Dodgers' games on SportsNet LA in 2013. The reported contract was worth $8.35 billion over 25 years. Time Warner Cable believed providers such as DirecTV or Dish Network would pay to carry the channel, but that hasn't been the case thus far.

First Lady Michelle Obama said she learned hard lessons in her legal career about how working women need to negotiate with employers, as she recalled how she tried to juggle work and family ambitions.
In an interview with Parade magazine published online Friday, Ms. Obama said she never thought about negotiating on salary when she was hired into her first job after law school, saying one of the challenges women face is "we don't think about salary enough." Read More »

In an interview that aired Friday on ABC's "Kelly & Michael," Mr. Obama was asked what his reaction would be if Mrs. Obama said she planned to run. He responded: "I would say, where did you take my wife? … the one thing I can promise you is Michelle will not run for office." Read More »
It was just a week ago that celebrities, politicians and social media users all over the world were covering the Internet with the call to find more than 200 girls kidnapped in Nigeria by the terrorist group Boko Haram.
Since its creation in Nigeria, the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls has been used over 3.3 million times on Twitter, according to social analytics tool Topsy. But the idea of hashtag activism has also been questioned – does it really mean anything? Is it the 2014 version of holding a picket sign, or something much less? Read More »
By Associated Press
Michelle Obama on Saturday criticized the kidnapping of scores of Nigerian schoolgirls as an "unconscionable act" carried out by a terrorist group she said is determined to keep them from getting an education—"or grown men attempting to snuff out the aspirations of young girls."
Taking over the president's weekly radio and Internet address on the eve of Mother's Day, the first lady said that, like millions of people around the world, she and President Barack Obama are "outraged and heartbroken" over the April 15 abduction of the girls from their dormitory.
"In these girls, Barack and I see our own daughters," Mrs. Obama said, referring to Malia, 15, and Sasha, 12. "We see their hopes, their dreams and we can only imagine the anguish their parents are feeling right now."
What happened in Nigeria is not an isolated incident, the first lady said, but is "a story we see every day as girls around the world risk their lives to pursue their ambitions."
Mrs. Obama mentioned the case of Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager who survived being shot in the head as she traveled to school in 2012. Malala has become an outspoken advocate for the rights of all girls to get an education, the same message Mrs. Obama delivered in her first solo address to the nation. Read More »

"While we do not have a news department we do see interest spikes for our articles that relate to specific current events. People always need background information in addition to the news," said Peter Berger, CEO, Suite101.com Media Inc. "World Cup Soccer attracts wide global interest every four years, and for consumers that don't follow soccer on a regular basis, Suite101.com is a great place to get up to speed quickly. Most often, we see traffic spike for events tied to a seasonal topic, like preparing outdoor gardens in the spring, but we are also seeing popularity of articles spike when they are related to an issue or cause of great interest to consumers, such as the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. We're fortunate to have a group of experts that cover these news topics in addition to the more evergreen topics, such as childbirth and gardening, which you'll find on the site."

Nyack Remembers the Victims of September 11th
Today, Nyack College mourns the loss of the innocent victims of 9/11. Like each of you, we remember that day like it was yesterday. Together we prayed that survivors would be located and watched as rescue workers heroically dug through debris to find victims without concern for their own well being.
As many of you know, our Manhattan campus is just seven blocks from the former World Trade Center site. On that tragic morning staff members called to inform us of the events that they witnessed from the windows of our small chapel on the 10th floor. Thankfully, all of our faculty, staff, and students, many who were emerging from the subway beneath the World Trade Center, were spared from injury.
Unfortunately, a close friend of the college and former trustee, Fred Price, lost 68 partners, colleagues, and friends from Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. Today, we ask that each of you remember those from the firm of Sandler O'Neill who were lost and pray for their families, friends, and, most importantly, children who are left behind. A remembrance can be found at www.sandleroneillfamily.com.
A month prior to September 11, 2001 we signed a lease that would more than quadruple our campus in New York City. This fall more than twelve hundred students will study at our campus in lower Manhattan. The days, months, and years since 9/11 have brought significant challenges for our city campus. In many ways, like others in the city, we are still recovering from the shock and devastation that we witnessed.
Despite the challenges and constant threat of other terrorist events we remain committed to building our campus in New York City. Now more than ever we see the need for providing accredited Christian education and seminary training to the greatest city in the world. We encourage you to remember those who were lost and commit with us to serve this great city.
Michael G. Scales, Ed.D.

Rand Paul and the Koch Brothers Are Having a Nixon-in-China MomentSubmitted by Calgary4Paul on Sat, 03/28/2015 - 18:41
"In the last few months, that narrative has shifted. The Republicans who control Congress and most of the states are taking a larger role in the reform push. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who has co-sponsored a series of reform bills, is giving talks to black audiences that draw scores of reporters.
More than the possibly pernicious influence of the Koch brothers, some Democrats worry that their thunder is being stolen. "One of the great ironies for me, having spent all this time on criminal justice reform, is how the Democrats have basically ceded this incredibly important issue to the Republicans," former Virginia Senator Jim Webb told Vox's Ezra Klein this month. "Rand Paul's the guy who's been running with it."

Olsen explains that when drugs hit the market, no one knows even 50 percent of the side effects associated with the drug. Doctors are convinced of the drug's effectiveness and their patients literally become test subjects or lab rats for the pharmaceutical companies. Olsen even confesses, "We were being trained to misinform people."
Chuck Baldwin: Ted Cruz: Pros And ConsSubmitted by SIERRAHPBT on Sat, 03/28/2015 - 08:14
by Chuck Baldwin:
Texas Senator Ted Cruz made his candidacy for President of the United States official this week. He is the first Republican to officially jump into the presidential race. He chose my alma mater, Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, to make the announcement. Readers immediately inundated me with requests for my thoughts on his candidacy. Today's column will attempt to answer those requests. Mind you, these are preliminary thoughts, subject to change one way or the other as I learn more about Senator Cruz.
Before I list what seem to me to be more obvious pros and cons of his candidacy, let me say that it is extremely obvious that Mr. Cruz is wanting to "corner the market" on the Christian conservative vote and make them the ideological and political base of his campaign. The fact that he chose Liberty University, the largest evangelical Christian university in the country, to make his announcement makes it crystal clear. And if some of the early reactions to the senator's strategy are any indication of whether Senator Cruz succeeded or not, it may seem that he has taken a big step in that regard.

Cracks appearing in assault on your rights
"Senate Bill 277, which would eliminate vaccine choice rights in Califronia, in a highly unusual move was assigned to three separate committees for review in the State Senate. This indicates that there is significant opposition within the Senate itself to the bill. And that means if we keep up the pressure our chances of killing this bill are much better than they were a few days ago.
Politico: Ron Paul Supporters Bolt Rand Paul CampSubmitted by RandWatcher on Fri, 03/27/2015 - 07:15
Many are disillusioned by Rand Paul's concessions to mainstream politics.
By Ben Schreckinger | Politico | 3/26/15
As he pulls together his expected presidential campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire, Sen. Rand Paul is confronted by defections from an unexpected quarter: the die-hard idealists whose energy powered his father's campaigns.
That network of committed supporters was expected to convey to Paul, the natural successor to Ron Paul's libertarian movement, providing him with a plug-and-play ground organization in the make-or-break early voting states. But instead of embracing the Kentucky senator, many of those grass-roots activists are turning their backs on him, disillusioned by the younger Paul's concessions to mainstream politics.
Dumb People Shouldn't Vote - Julie BorowskiSubmitted by ProudAmericanFirst on Sat, 03/28/2015 - 06:47
PAF: My sentiments EXACTLY. In the political arena it is more efficient to work with the "irate minority" than it is the clueless majority. Though we should always engage the communities that we live to change the hearts and minds of the American people, instilling values such as principles and freedom.
Two Cops Arrested for Beating 3-Month-Old Into Vegetative State; Baby Not Expected to RecoverSubmitted by gptnomoney on Fri, 03/27/2015 - 19:45
Jaxon Jennings Taylor, their 3-month-old son, was abused so brutally on February 15, that he is unable to move or eat without a feeding tube. Despite being in a vegetative state, he "is in some pain" and exhibits "periodic cries," according to 16th Circuit Solicitor Kevin Brackett.

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert Growing Apart, Divorcing? Blake Says … [NSFW]
Judging by a recent tweet, Blake Shelton is growing pretty tired of tabloids running rumors about his marriage to Miranda Lambert.
Judging by a recent tweet, Blake Shelton is growing pretty tired of tabloids running rumors about his marriage to Miranda Lambert.
Country music's most important night brings excitement, energy and decades of history. From changes in how the show is broadcast to changes in the actual CMA Awards trophy, only the categories themselves have remained consistent ... mostly. Click to learn everything you need to know about the Country Music Association Awards!
Miranda Lambert's seventh annual Cause for the Paws event is landing in Sin City on Saturday (Oct. 4) for the first-ever Route 91 Harvest Festival.
Get ready to get excited! Miranda Lambert has just announced tour stops for her 2015 Certified Platinum Tour.
Perhaps you've seen the video. Perhaps you've watched it twice, because in watching Miranda Lambert break down on stage, you found some new reason to be absolutely certain you say "I love you" with a big hug to your children each night. Brooke Hester is the 7-year-old in the viral video wearing a pink hat and holding a picture and a flower. Her story from Lambert's show at a recent stop in Texas makes the moment so much more meaningful.
Miranda Lambert may be sassy as all get out, but at her core, she's a softie with a big heart. At a concert in Texas on Saturday (Sept. 13), Lambert sang 'Over You' to a 7-year-old fan stricken with cancer ... and it left the superstar in tears.
Blake Shelton earned three CMA Award nominations this year, which is exactly one-third of what his superstar wife, Miranda Lambert, received. But while the songstress could certainly boast about her nine nods, her husband says she couldn't be more humble.
Touring for months on end can get tiring for anyone, even the world's biggest superstars, but Kenny Chesney helped fellow country singer Miranda Lambert learn an important lesson in touring and spirit -- and it's one she still follows to this day.
Miranda Lambert donned not one, but two spectacular outfits for an appearance at the 'Fashion Rocks' event Tuesday night (Sept. 9). The 'Mama's Broken Heart' singer went from red carpet sexy to performance sassy in dazzling black and red ensembles.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 4 nights
Luxury, elegant entirely renovated and fully equipped 70 sq/mt apartment with garden in the most exclusive district of Venice, one minute from the Accademia Bridge, campo Santo Stefano, and Palazzo Grassi Museum. With entrance from the private garden of 15th century Palazzo Falier and its private water taxi jetty, Canaletto Falier - with view on the private garden of Palazzo Falier and the canal Rio del Duca - has two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, a comfortable and fully furnished living room with satellite TV and internet ADSL and a fully equipped modern kitchen consolle. Canaletto Falier is finely decorated with Venetian "marmorino' and 'stucchi", with original '1930' Venini" lamps all aver the apartment and italian marble new bathrooms. A quiet, and very elegant place in the most prestigious Venice district. On the day of your arrival and departure you can get into the apartment trough the prestigious entrance of Palazzo Falier on the Grand Canal.
We stayed here for 4 nights and really couldn't fault it. On the outside it fits in with the surrounding Venetian style but it is very modern and clean on the inside. Had everything you could need and the location was superb. 2 minute walk into Campo Santa Stefano for the local restaurants and bars and only 10-15 mins walk to both the Rialto Bridge and St.Marks square. Most places accessible by foot but only a short walk to the Vaparetto stops if you are going further afield. I would also like to say both Giovanni and Orial were extremely helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend this apartment to anyone wishing to stay in Venice.
Fabulous location. Water limo from airport dropped us off right at the apartment. Right next to canal water taxi stop. Fifteen minute walk to San Marco Square.
Apartment was very clean and well stocked. New room air conditioners were a blessing during the hot, muggy days. Having a washer saved us from carrying extra clothing. I would definitely stay here again.
My only suggestion would be regular towels(not linen) and a shower curtain in the bathroom with a tub to facilitate taking a shower.
We spent four nights at this fantastic apartment and our advice is that if you get a chance to stay- do not miss it. Arriving by water taxi is a must ( although expensive) just for the experience. The apartment is deceptively modern with everything you need.Orial and Giovanni were very efficient and full of good ideas ( buy the 7 day ,54 euro pass fot the vaporeto, and this gives unlimited use of the water bus and includes the fare back to the airport!). Very central and easy to get to all parts of Venice from here. Our children are 12 and 10 and loved it- especially the WI-FI. We had absolutely no problems at all and would certainly book this again.Thank you Orial and Giovanni- hopefully see you again!
We spent a wonderful month in this utterly charming, spacious 2 bedroom apartment and cannot wait to book again, hopefully for even a longer stay. Elegantly furnished and overlooking a lovely walled garden, the apartment is in the Palazzo Falier and just moments from Campo Santo Stefano where you will find wonderful and convenient shops, cafes, and restaurants. And although the location is quiet and peaceful, a 10 minute walk will take you to San Marco and all of its activities. We were minutes from 2 vaporetto stops and also found it was an easy walk to everywhere we wanted to go--even La Fenice. The photos on the listing provide an excellent introduction to the property, the owner Giovanni was always helpful, patient and responsive, and Lilianna and Orial provided excellent service as well (with cleaning and checkin/checkout arrangements, respectively.) We loved the apartment and would happily recommend it to our dearest friends. Thank you, Giovanni, for such a wonderful place to stay in Venice!
We stayed at this apartment for 10 nights and it was absolutely fantastic. The Apartment was as the listing states. It is clean, cosy, well kept and has all required amenities. Simply excellent! The location is also superb, only a few minutes away from Piazza San Marco, yet far enough to fully enjoy the tranquility of Venice (especially during Carnival time). The use of a private jetty that forms part of the nearby Palazzo is a selling point which needs to be given due recognition. Anyone staying at this apartment can arrive and depart using a private water taxi, thereby avoiding the hassle of having to carry the luggage through the erratic maze of Venice, which in itself can be quite taxing.
As for the owner\s, Giovanni was very kind and true to his word whilst Silvia took customer service to another level – not only was she kind and welcoming but also very informative and accommodating. She even went out of her way to provide us with information on places to visit, both within proximity of Venice and beyond.
In short, anyone looking for accomodation in Venice... look no further! This is the place to stay at. I know I will in my next visit!

un appartement extrêmement confortable, un accueil qui l'était tout autant.
Une adresse très bien située, à deux minutes du pont de l'Accadémia.
un jardin avec un charme fou, et la présence du chat blanc bien entendu.
très envie d'y revenir très vite !
encore merci...
Few steps away from Campo Santo Stefano, 200 metres from Palazzo Grassi Museum, one minute walk from the Accademia Bridge, 5 minutes away from the Fenice Theatre... and hundreds of other important amenities, Canaletto Falier is located right in the middle of the art, exhibitions, galleries and antiquarian district, in the most exclusive area where to live and stay in Venice. Restaurants, wine bars, "Old Baccari" and typical "trattoria" are all around the corner, but you also have grocery, pharmacy, fruit and vegetables floating market near Ca' Rezzonico, and mini market store all at 2 minutes walk! To reach the apartment, you walk 2 minutes from San Samuele Vaporetto or, for your check-in and check-out, you can arrive with a water taxi and use the private entrance on the Canal Grande's prestigious Palazzo Falier.
Golf: Alberoni Golf Club is one of the most amazing golf course in Italy, located at the Lido di Venezia betweenn the Adriatic sea and Venice lagoon. Its famous 'Alberoni', which means big trees, are visible from far and create a really charming spot.
Ski: Cortina d'Ampezzo, famous jet -.set ski resort, also called the 'Queen of the Dolomites' is about 1 hour 45 minutes away from Venice.

If you whip egg whites and fold them in, they will make it lighter. Using whole eggs will make it richer.
Yah. Separated, eggs are a magical force. The amount you whip and consequently handle the mousse has the most to do with tenderness, maybe the latter more than the former. If you are aggressively mixing in the egg whites, the mousse will be dense and pudding like. The proper folding technique will allow the most supple, airy mousse possible.

I've been trying to burn a program into ATtiny2313A-PU with my Arduino Uno R3 used as a programmer. First I tried to program it from Arduino IDE 1.0.1 (Windows 7) and it seemed to uploade the sketch, but the blink program didn't work. Then I found Michael Holachek's tutorial and followed his instructions:
- uploaded ArduinoISP sketch to my Arduino Uno
- wired the circuit on a breadboard
- installed WinAVR on my Windows 7.
- downloaded Michael's template files (Makefile and main.c) and edited Makefile to match my settings (external 8 MHz crystal). I used this online fuse calculator to get correct fuse parameters.
- then, in cmd.exe, changed directory to the directory where I saved Makefile and main.c and ran 'make flash'
DEVICE = attiny2313a
PROGRAMMER = -c arduino -P COM5 -b 19200
OBJECTS = main.o
FUSES = -U lfuse:w:0x5e:m -U hfuse:w:0xdd:m -U efuse:w:0xff:m
# Tune the lines below only if you know what you are doing:
AVRDUDE = avrdude $(PROGRAMMER) -p $(DEVICE)
COMPILE = avr-gcc -Wall -Os -DF_CPU=$(CLOCK) -mmcu=$(DEVICE)
# symbolic targets:
all: main.hex
$(COMPILE) -c $< -o $@
$(COMPILE) -x assembler-with-cpp -c $< -o $@
# "-x assembler-with-cpp" should not be necessary since this is the default
# file type for the .S (with capital S) extension. However, upper case
# characters are not always preserved on Windows. To ensure WinAVR
# compatibility define the file type manually.
$(COMPILE) -S $< -o $@
flash: all
$(AVRDUDE) -U flash:w:main.hex:i
install: flash fuse
# if you use a bootloader, change the command below appropriately:
load: all
bootloadHID main.hex
rm -f main.hex main.elf $(OBJECTS)
# file targets:
main.elf: $(OBJECTS)
$(COMPILE) -o main.elf $(OBJECTS)
main.hex: main.elf
rm -f main.hex
avr-objcopy -j .text -j .data -O ihex main.elf main.hex
# If you have an EEPROM section, you must also create a hex file for the
# EEPROM and add it to the "flash" target.
# Targets for code debugging and analysis:
disasm: main.elf
avr-objdump -d main.elf
$(COMPILE) -E main.c
Below is the output I got:
C:\Users>cd /D D:\electronics
D:\electronics>cd nikon/mi
D:\electronics\nikon\mi>make flash
avr-gcc -Wall -Os -DF_CPU=8000000 -mmcu=attiny2313a -c main.c -o main.o
main.c:6: error: stray '\342' in program
main.c:6: error: stray '\200' in program
main.c:6: error: stray '\250' in program
main.c: In function 'main':
main.c:9: error: stray '\342' in program
main.c:9: error: stray '\200' in program
main.c:9: error: stray '\250' in program
make: *** [main.o] Error 1
I suspect that I might brick the fuses on Attiny 2313a. If that is the case, I think I will have to build this AVR rescue shield. Maybe the Makefile was configured incorrectly? How can I identify the problem? How can I check whether the chip is still alive?

Nice but Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Nice but all the dots get a bit irritating after a while. Would love to see it with all that removed. It just seems a bit too busy. Also for a compact theme, it seems a bit big. Apart from that, good theme.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (184.108.40.206.11).
You can always try one of the 4 subskins. They are free and easy to use. Here's how http://firefox-goodies.net63.net/sub-skins/bloody-red-sub-skins.html
