Seems like fashion to me. CLANG/LLVM produces slower code than GCC, but new is sexy! As for the features, let's wait a year or three and see where this thing is at.
I think the point he's trying to make is that BSD license allows closing of the code: binaries can be sold without making source available.
Which IMHO is neither here nor there - you pick your license and you take your chances.
The anger seems to come from that this group of people speaks of their license as open source, but BSD license is only as open source as a user of it chooses to be, whereas GPL denies the right to close the source.
By way of example, remember Darwin and Apple? Yes you can still get Darwin, it's still "open source", but the license used in it's development allowed Apple to grab a copy of the code, add to it and release the product as Mac OSX, and not acknowledge Darwin devs at least as far as profit is concerned. That was kinda sleazy IMHO, and had Darwin been GPL'd then Apple could not legally have stolen all that work.
Don't worry, I'm wearing my teflon and asbestos suit today, have at me.
Apple is the original developer of Darwin at least according to Wikipedia.
Darwin is an open source POSIX-compliant computer operating system released by Apple Inc. in 2000. It is composed of code developed by Apple, as well as code derived from NeXTSTEP, BSD, and other free software projects.In July 2003, Apple released Darwin under version 2.0 of the Apple Public Source License (APSL), which the Free Software Foundation (FSF) approved as a free software license. Previous releases had taken place under an earlier version of the APSL that did not meet the FSF's definition of free software, although it met the requirements of the Open Source Definition.So Darwin is actually licenced under copyleft licence that is similar to GPL. You can download its source code from here. So I seriously fail to see the issue here and also it's not stealing if it's permitted by the licence.The first version of the Apple Public Source License was approved by the Open Source Initiative (OSI). Version 2.0, released July 29, 2003 conforms to the Free Software Foundation guidelines, and is also approved by the OSI. The Free Software Foundation approved the Apple Public Source License 2.0 as a free software license and say it is acceptable for developers to work on projects that are already covered by this license. They recommend, however, that developers do not release new projects under this license, because the partial copyleft is not compatible with the GNU General Public License and allows linking with files released entirely as proprietary software.[3] The license does, however, require that if any derivatives from the original source are released externally, that the source be made available.
To be fair, CLANG is close to GCC, and is significantly newer [and thus, has more optimisations that have not been implemented yet]. I expcet CLANG/LLVM to be faster then GCC within two to three years. And as far as the toolset goes, its not even close: CLANG/LLVM is far, far superior to what GCC offers.
From a developer standpoint, I'll take ease of development any day, and simply accept a 10% performance penalty.
Well, it's on Wikipedia so must be true.
Darwin was developed using a community model (unpaid developers) and included some Apple people. Apple did not start the Darwin project IIRC, but did become it's sponsor at some point. Much of the work was done pre-2000 during the 1990s. I think the license was a BSD variant, it certainly let people contribute work and it certainly let Apple take all that work and apply some changes, then close source the result, and sell the result as OS X. I can't call that copyleft because while Darwin source can be downloaded (as I noted in my OP), none of the additions in OS X can be.
Point is Darwin source could always be downloaded - even before as you (or wikipedia) say, Apple "released it in 2000". Exactly when the Darwin code base reached production quality Apple grabbed a copy and vanished - it had what it wanted: an OS developed on the cheap.
Can't pull that kind of stunt in a GPL'd project. And as I said, you pick your license and you take your chances.
I have a hard time taking them seriously after that.- Use social networks to disseminate information and news.
Not having found the GCC toolchain arduous, or at any rate no more so than any other command line compiler, I can only take you at your word wrt ease of development.
I've always been a performance man, I care about that 10%.
When LLVM/Clang exceeds GCC in speed of generated code I will probably switch.

Idea of texting for faster service insults state's restaurant owners, and it should
Ask Mississippi restaurant owners what they think of the new, hip idea of texting your waiter or waitress for faster service, and you may hear words I cannot print in this publication.
In fact, I guarantee it, but I was able to cobble together a few comments we could print.
"Just give her a holler as she walks by. In Doe's, nobody is very far," said Don at Doe's Eat Place in Greenville.
"We like the small tight spaces that the restaurant set-up entails.
"Texting your waitress for faster service? No, don't like the idea. Less personable, not friendly."
You want a beer at Doe's? Go get it yourself. You'll see four or five tables full of people you know on the way. That seems like more fun anyway.
Well, even with cool, quaint places, Fridays and Saturdays can be difficult in regard to customer service.
Your waiter gets busy, and getting an appetizer or even the check can prove aggravating. But don't expect restaurants in Mississippi to buy into the latest technology that has been introduced.
TextMyFood is a new service that allows customers to communicate with their server via text messaging.
A story on National Public Radio last week highlighted a restaurant in Massachusetts with the service and detailed why many would or should opt in.
Bob Nilsson, the president of TextMyFood, told NPR the goal of the service is to increase the amount of money customers will spend. For example, guests are more likely to order another round of drinks if they text the request in the moment. If they can't find the server, they often pass.
But Mississippi restaurant owners were more than a little offended by the mere mention of texting for service.
"I honestly cannot say how discouraging this is," said John Currance, owner of City Grocery in Oxford. "Dining is about an overall experience. All an electronic service like this threatens to do is move us more in the direction of becoming more of a fuel stop…
"I find this service patently insulting because I believe that the dining experience is one which should remain as personalized as possible."
Jeff Good, from Bravo!, Sal and Mookies and Broad Street Bakery in Jackson, was in agreement.
"Have we really come to that?" an indignant Good asks.
"Are we there now… That's where we are now? We have to text our waiters to get good service?
"In my world, I could not ever imagine having a waiter looking down at his hands on his phone to be checking if Table 54 needed more iced tea."
But Nilsson argues that his service doesn't eliminate human contact.
"There's always a server at the other end," he told NPR. "You just want to have that contact sooner. If you can't see them and can't make that contact, rather than waving your arms or getting up, just use the natural communication and let them know what you need."
Sounds like it's losing human contact to me, as well as Good.
"The very definition of service and hospitality is to be one-on-one, engaged… and responsive to the needs and the nuances of people.
"So you won't be seeing any texting in our world," Good continued.
As for Currance, he would rather see all of us, as busy folks, slow down and enjoy a nice meal in a good atmosphere.
"We, as a people, need to stop focusing on what we can do to speed life along and impersonalizing our surroundings, and this is exactly what this service facilitates," he said. "(It's) both dehumanizing and potentially puerile.
"It occurs to me, also, that this becomes an intermediate measure for poor management. If when a place becomes too busy for staff to keep up, shouldn't management step in to adjust? This seems to be a simple and ineffective side-stepping of that area of responsibility."
Currance walks the walk to go along with the talk.
At City Grocery, almost 20 years after it opened, waiters still hand-write tickets to turn into the kitchen because, Currance says, it maintains an elemental relationship between the front and back of the house. It matters how the servers write the tickets and how the kitchen ultimately responds. It personalizes each of them and establishes a line of communication that is absolutely irreplaceable.
"And I would really wonder what the priorities were of any organization if texting were to become the methodology for service delivery.
"I think that is the antithesis or service," Good concludes.
" With each tick of the clock, it seems, we are pulled farther from that as a reality, but if all you are concerned about is speed and efficiency, eat in your car," Currence says as we wrap up.
I wish that had been my line.
Well said, John.

Expansion of the Combat Zone. 1968-2000. The Collection Part 3
from: 08.11.2013
to: 31.12.2014
Neue Nationalgalerie
After the exhibitions 'Modern Times' (1900-1945) and 'Divided Heaven' (1945-1968), our attention now turns to the years from 1968 to 2000. The leitmotif for the new collection display is provided by the title of Michel Houellebecq's novel 'Extension du domaine de la lutte'. In this novel from the mid-1990s, the French author captured the zeitgeist of a generation that was shaped by the pursuits of capitalism and which saw its entire existence as a combat zone, waged on shifting fronts.
Like Germany itself, until 1989 art was still largely divided along political fronts and variously reflected the often fierce lines of conflict in society. Conflicts also arose within art during this time, so that art itself became a 'combat zone' of sorts. The new collection display now highlights these conflicts and tensions in its selection of brilliant, often high-profile artworks. It scrutinizes the major political themes and images of the age and explores fine art's boundaries, which underwent a lasting 'expansion' in the period 1968 to 2000, thanks to the increasing inclusion of photography, video, performance, object and conceptual art. The exhibition features core works by Barnett Newman, Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol, Katharina Sieverding, Werner Tübke, Rebecca Horn, Andreas Gursky, and Wolfgang Tillmans.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Sparkassen Finanzgruppe.

Showdown Over a Shutdown
If the White House and lawmakers on Capitol Hill fail to agree on a temporary spending deal by Monday, the U.S. government will shut down for the first time since 1996. Click here for complete coverage.
With one week to go before a potential partial government shutdown, a key Republican lawmaker is warning troops to be financially prepared for the possibility of not getting a mid-October paycheck.
Rep. C.W. Bill Young, R-Fla., chairman of the House defense appropriations subcommittee, warns that the troops morale and readiness will suffer even though the Defense Department does not shut down when its funding stops.
All military personnel will continue to serve and accrue pay, but will not actually be paid until appropriations are available, Young said. The mid-month payday would be the first in jeopardy.
Additionally, he said most travel and permanent change of station moves would be delayed or canceled and benefits for line-of-duty deaths also would be suspended.
Military hospitals and clinics will remain open but would scale back on operations, impacting routine medical and dental procedures, Young said. He did not specifically mention any impact on Tricare health insurance benefits, but in past government shutdowns, payments to medical providers were delayed but treatment was still available.
Maintenance for facilities and weapons would stop, Young said, and most defense and service civilian employees would be furloughed until appropriations are available.
Readiness and morale of our armed forces will suffer, he said. The impact of a shutdown on the department and the military and civilian families many of whom live paycheck to paycheck is simply catastrophic.
On Friday, the House of Representatives passed a 76-day funding bill that would keep the government running from Oct. 1, the start of fiscal 2014, until Dec. 15. Most government agencies, including the Defense Department, could continue operating at existing funding levels.
A bill to keep the government running is not unusual, but this measure, H.J. Res. 59, is different. It includes a section defunding the 2010 Affordable Care Act health care reform. The White House has warned that President Obama would veto the bill if this provision is included.
There is a second, equally controversial rider on the bill, the Full Faith and Credit Act, which details a priority list for paying bills if the government exceeds its $16.7 trillion debt limit. Creditors would be paid first, with military and federal civilian paychecks, disabled veterans checks, Medicare payments to doctors, school lunch programs and other government debts ranking lower.
The Senate is due to take up the short-term spending bill Monday, but there is a deadline of midnight Sept. 30 for enactment of a bill to avoid shutdown.
Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., the House Appropriations Committee chairman, agreed with Youngs assessment that troops wont get paid if the government runs out of money.
A government shutdown is a political game in which everyone loses, he said, calling the House-passed bill one that simply keeps the lights on in our government.

I have been using tmpfs for /tmp and /var/tmp for years and years on my gentoo system. Why is this such a big deal?
Phoronix: Fedora 18 Will Go For Tmpfs
Fedora 18 will look to use tmpfs for its /tmp directory, after the feature proposal was approved today by the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee...
I have been using tmpfs for /tmp and /var/tmp for years and years on my gentoo system. Why is this such a big deal?
It's not really a big deal if your individual user configuration uses tmpfs, but it's a big deal for huge (general purpose) distros. They have to take into account the amount of RAM their users have and maybe change their minimum spec requirements (could cause outrage). And even if we can assume that all users have 6Gb of RAM, we'll still have to consider their workloads. For example, I have /var/tmp/portage as tmpfs, but neither libreoffice nor chromium will compile because they're so huge. Granted, the portage problem is easily fixed, but this is Gentoo, and it's meant to be tweaked heavily.
The other distros don't have it so easy. They must "please everyone" or die trying.
"Do NOT use it on /var/tmp, because that folder is meant for temporary files that are preserved across reboots. " https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab
tmpfs can (and probably will) go to swap as well, which should still perform better than a real on-disk FS. As long as there's enough swap available, running out of memory shouldn't be an issue, or cause slow-downs.
Oh, and as long as you set your /var/tmp/portage-tmpfs to >6GB and have enough swap, libreoffice will compile fine, without slowing down your machine more than running it on a real FS.
As for putting /var/tmp on a tmpfs: aufs it with a squashfs that you auto-recreate once in a while, including during shutdown. Best of both worlds (apart from losing your temporary data in-between the last recreation and a crash/power-failure...), plus it's now compressed.
I have had /tmp, /var/tmp and /var/log on tmpfs on my laptop (with an SSD that doesn't do trim) for years running ubuntu. I know /var/tmp should be persistant, but on my laptop, I just didn't care enough
Though I appreciate the link, I think the FHS should be the correct link"Do NOT use it on /var/tmp, because that folder is meant for temporary files that are preserved across reboots. " https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab
tmpfs made Arch a miserable experience since packer and yaourt need a shit-ton of tmp space. It runs out far too quick if /tmp is mounted separately with a statically-sized tmpfs.
You could always unmount /tmp to get around that.
thats weird, i've never had that issue. however, if there was ever the occasion where something from yaourt failed, i never assumed it was because of the tmpfs.
what i don't get is why don't distros use ramfs? that dynamically expands, so you pretty much only use up what you need.
Have they mentioned what video editing and CD/DVD/BD burning programs are supposed to do with their multi-GB temporary files after the switch? Where are we supposed to render our movies and build our ISOs?

Livan Hernandez was thoroughly efficient in his complete-game win.
CINCINNATI — How many times has Livan Hernandez's career been declared dead? Two? Three? Four?
It happened when he was traded from Florida to San Francisco in 1999. It happened when he was traded from San Francisco to Montreal in 2003. It happened when the Nationals dealt him to Arizona in 2006. And it happened pretty much the last two winters as Hernandez trolled around for jobs, unable to secure the kind of contract you'd expect for a pitcher of his stature.
One of these days, Livo should appear on one of those reality shows in which people who cheated death share their stories of survival. He'd get great ratings.
The lack of respect around baseball for Hernandez bothers the big right-hander. He doesn't quite understand it. But make no mistake: It also fuels him to do his best every time he takes the ball.
"My friends and my teammates are always like, 'You're a really good pitcher. You can pitch.'" Hernandez said. "But I've got to show some different people. I'm not dumb. I go outside every time I pitch and think about that. It helps me a lot."
That extra motivation certainly was present today as Hernandez authored the latest in a growing list of pitching gems: A complete-game, 7-1 victory over the Reds on an absolutely swelteringRead more »

Great article, Mark. Now, in 29 teams' defense, he _stunk_ while his knee was bothering him. And because there seemed to be so much question about his age (which I think is a legitimate question) and he wouldn't talk about his knee, it's hard to know if the bad performance is a balky knee or a career decline.
- Anonymous - Jul 22, 2010 at 9:31 PM
I hope he goes to the HOF. Love the guy; he's a Nat for life in my book.
- Richard in BB - Jul 22, 2010 at 9:43 PM
I Fully agree with anon. He's the most RELIABLE pitcher on this staff! We were lucky Rizzo gave in and re-signed him. He's been our best chance to win all year, and his record SHOULD be a lot better than it is, for sure.

The guy isn't telling the truth about his age … how can you expect him to tell you the truth about his knee? At least this year he is the master again … if he weren't I should think the Orioles and Diamondbacks would have some real competition for last place.

Hats off to Livan! He's a true professional.

Great post on a remarkably underrated player. FWIW, only 8 guys in the NL have 2 or more complete games, and a lot of them have names like Halladay and Jiminez. Not bad company to be keeping in any statistical category.

Livo had me at "Play ball" in 2005, and he hasn't lost me yet. His complete game shutout is one of my fave in-person games this year. Love ya, Livo! Who cares what the haters think?

Let's see, 102 pitches get you a complete game from Livo and 94 pitches gets you 5 2/3 from Strasburg…that is right Willie Harris, Livo is historical, I hope Little Stephen was taking notes!
- Anonymous - Jul 22, 2010 at 11:18 PM
Good story Mark, but I think you're wrong about Livo's options this winter. Livo wasn't hitting 85 for the past two years. Today he was popped 88 a few times. Now that he's proved he's healthy there will be offers. Nat'spos Fan
- Anonymous - Jul 22, 2010 at 11:44 PM
I strongly suspect he'll come back to the Nats if they'll have him. He seems like he likes it in DC for whatever reason. Have to figure him as the fifth starter next year at the very least.

I think he stays next season, and not only for his own ability. I think with Maya coming on board, Livo plays an additional role as "mentor." Remember, that was Pudge's semiofficial role to Kid Flores when he came aboard. How's that working out? Imagine where we'd be with Wil Nieves catching 135 games. Who? Wil Nieves.Penciling in Livo for 30-32 starts next season among Jesus, Zimm'nn, Maya and whomever (Det, Marquis, Olsen, the cast of thousands from the Brady Bunch) would be just fine by me. And, I would imagine, Riggs too.
- Richard - Jul 23, 2010 at 12:47 AM
Livo is a pleasure to watch. I wonder, too, where the Nats would be without him this year — and last September. I'm looking for the Nats to give him a much better contract soon.
- Doc - Jul 23, 2010 at 1:02 AM
If Zim is the heart of the Nats, Livo is the soul. Viva Livan!!!!! Great article MarkMeister!
- Traveler8 - Jul 23, 2010 at 3:18 AM
It's sneaking up on us – Livo, then El Duque, then Maya – by September the Cuban mafia will be in control.
- sjm105 - Jul 23, 2010 at 3:20 AM
I agree with Sunshine. How could you get a better #5 starter and if some of the re-habs/prospects falter he is able to carry a bigger load. If our Cuban is the real deal, who better to mentor him? It's a no brainer, extend him now before other teams figure it out.
- Anonymous - Jul 23, 2010 at 5:17 AM
I'd sign him to a 2-year deal, he's earned it. He can pitch into his 40s because he doesn't rely on velocity, just guile and location. Look at Jaime Moyer. People snub him because his pear shape, mellow attitude, and slow stuff. But, the fact is, he's still our #2 best starting pitcher and I won't believe we have anything better until someone proves it.
- Anonymous - Jul 23, 2010 at 6:21 AM
Not to mention the enjoyment to be derived watching Livo field his position! A mentor in every way not just to Maya but to Stras also.
- SBrent - Jul 23, 2010 at 6:55 AM
All that everyone's said, plus, don't forget, Livan is one of those few pitchers that can actually do a bit of damage with the bat. He may not be Albert Pujols with the bat, but he's also not an "automatic" out like so many NL pitchers. It's great when the pitcher can provide some offensive help, or keep a rally rolling.
- Anonymous - Jul 23, 2010 at 9:03 AM
The Nats must sign him for the next two years. He'll be the veteran on the staff and will mentor the young bunch of pitchers. Not very easy to understand.
- Nats fan in NJ - Jul 23, 2010 at 11:48 AM
From a hitter's perspective, how nasty must it be to face Strasburg one night then Livo the next? Could there be two more contrasting pitchers in baseball today?
- Anonymous - Jul 23, 2010 at 11:59 AM
Nicely done, MZ. Back in spring training it was clear he was the one reliable pitcher on the club. Regarding yesterday – how often would he do that with run support? Every time. Lol

Who cares how old he is? He performs. That's the deal.

Mark: As much as we all love Livo, do you have any scoop about other teams wanting him for their stretch runs? the trade talk to date has centered round Dunn, Hammer, and possibly Capps and Guzman, but it's all silent on the Livo front. Could he get dealt?
- greg - Jul 23, 2010 at 1:49 PM
i was one of the "don't sign livo" crowd and i'm happy to admit i was wrong.obviously it's all about his health. when he wasn't right, he wasn't good. hopefully he can stay healthy, because he's a useful pitcher when he's healthy.when he's not, he doesn't have the stuff to overcome it. but i'm glad he's back and healthy.
- josh f - Jul 23, 2010 at 1:58 PM
The dirty baseball on my bookshelf that Livo autographed a few weeks ago looks beautiful this morning. I admit I didn't want him back at the beginning of the season either, but boy has he proved me and a bunch of people wrong. Go Nats!
- Raff - Jul 23, 2010 at 2:15 PM
While the hardcore statheads don't have a lot of love for Livo, when you look at his recent career, you see a solid middle-of-the-rotation guy who gives you the chance to win in at least 2/3s of his starts — the same as many high-priced and high-profile #2 starters.Livo's age is working against him, but his remarkable career health, coupled with his obvious pitching intelligence, means he could be a solid Jamie Moyer-like pitcher, delivering 10-15 wins on his own and 20-25 opportunities for the Nats to win, for half a dozen more years.Give him $15 mill for two years.
- A DC Wonk - Jul 23, 2010 at 3:19 PM
This is so disconcerting! How can we rail against Rizzo when you do thing like point out stuff like this! Or that at-the-time criticized draft pick of Storen last year. Or, or, or . . . (snark mode off)
- Theo S. - Jul 23, 2010 at 3:20 PM
Assuming Marquis (All-Star last year) at $15 MM for two years to be the Opening Day starter represents the market, Hernandez does not get the same deal. He might be worth $4-$5 MM a year. The Nats have so many second-line pitchers — serviceable though sometimes brittle — e.g., Marquis, Wang, Lannan, Detweiler, Atilano, Stammen, Martin, maybe Martis and Mock, and now throw Maya into the mix, that Hernandez's highest value for the next couple of years is as trade deadline inventory. So long as he stays healthy, he'll always fetch good value from a contending team.
- Rip in BB - Jul 23, 2010 at 4:03 PM
Livo makes it FUN to watch a Nats game everytime he starts! Only one other pitcher on the staff gives us a chance to win every time out.I'm not sayin he should get Strasburg $–but he surely needs to be re-upped and with a HEFTY raise before the "Wolves" come calling.
- Sec3MySofa - Jul 23, 2010 at 4:34 PM
I'm not saying it's fair, or what I'd do if it were mine to do, but I don't think the next best offer will be more than $2MM/y, and probably not more than $1.5MM, and a two-year deal from any other team would suprise me. I think the other GMs are doing what a lot of us here were doing all spring and summer, so far–just waiting for the next start to be the collapse/regression/wearing out of a guy who surprised us for a while.That said, I was adamantly in favor of signing him, so I have that going for me. Which is nice.
- greg - Jul 23, 2010 at 6:33 PM
2/$15 for livo would be irresponsible. i'm all for resigning him if he stays healthy, but let's not be stupid about it.
- Raff - Jul 28, 2010 at 2:54 PM
Greg:"Let's not be stupid about it"? According to FanGraphs, based on his performance to date, Livo's value right now in the free-agent market would be $9 million per year, well above that of Edwin Jackson ($6.9m), whom the Nats are rumored to be pursuing. Livo's value is likely to decline a bit in the next two years, but 2/$15m is quite reasonable, not "stupid" or "irresponsible".

Halliburton has agreed to pay $1.1 billion to settle a majority of plaintiff claims brought over the company's role in the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The settlement is subject to court approval and will be paid into a trust until all appeals have been resolved over the next two years, Halliburton said in a news release.
The Deepwater Horizon blowout killed 11 rig workers and unleashed the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. The federal government estimates more than 200 million gallons poured out of the ruptured well, located nearly a mile underwater off southeastern Louisiana. The environmental effects of the disaster are still being determined, and BP says it has paid out $32 billion for cleanup, compensation and penalties.

Obamacare is better than the old healthcare system. Drug rehab for harder drugs is now paid for by Obamacare. It is far cheaper than jail. But Obamacare does not cover everybody because of the incredible waste of health insurance companies. Single-payer covers everybody (including veterans, most of whom are only partially covered by Veterans Administration care). It is much easier to use (almost no paperwork for patients), is far cheaper per capita [173], and gets better overall health results. U.S. Healthcare Ranked Dead Last Compared To 10 Other Countries. June 16, 2014. Forbes: "Many continue to falsely assume that we pay more for healthcare because we get better health (or better health outcomes)." Why Do Other Rich Nations Spend So Much Less on Healthcare? The Atlantic. July 23, 2014. And 200 million claims were denied yearly before Obamacare. [174][175][176][177][178].
Health insurance companies suck money from their hosts, but provide no tangible service. Just like toll-road companies. See: Toll Roads Are A Bad Idea. Both just handle the money, and take a cut of the money. They build costly buildings to house the accounting staff, and claim deniers. Costly 16-lane toll plazas are built, often on expensive urban land. |
The majority of people incarcerated in prisons and jails in the USA are in due to drug-related offenses, crimes to get money for drugs, or drug-related parole or probation violations. Wikipedia: Drug-related crime. The number of inmates in the USA has increased almost 5 times over since 1980. The USA has the highest incarceration rate of any nation b c (except for the tiny country of the Seychelles). Compare incarceration rates worldwide.

"A dog's coat is kind of like insulation for your house," explains Dr. Louise Murray, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA Animal Hospital. "Insulation stops your home from getting too cold in winter, but it also keeps it from overheating in summer—and your dog's coat does the same thing."
Dogs' coats have several layers, and these layers are essential to your dog's comfort in the heat. Robbing your dog of this natural cooling system can lead to discomfort and overheating. And keeping your dog cool isn't the only reason to leave his coat intact, Dr. Murray warns.
- Your dog's coat prevents your pup from getting sunburn and helps protect her from skin cancer.
To protect your pet from sunburn and skin cancer, save longer walks for evenings, and consider applying pet-specific sun block to thinly covered areas like the bridge of your dog's nose, the tips of his ears and his belly, Dr. Murray suggests, noting that pets with thin coats, as well as those with white or light-colored coats, are especially at risk for sun damage.
- There are better ways to manage your pets' coats to keep them cool: trimming and brushing.
"It's OK to trim your long-haired dog's long hair, such as any hair that hangs down on his legs," Dr. Murray says. Just never attempt to clip mats off your pet's coat with scissors, Dr. Murray adds. And if you've got a long-haired kitty, leave her coat intact. Instead, brush her a little more frequently during the hot summer months.
Of course, pet parents should remember to keep pets inside with plenty of water during hot days—hydration is key! For more important information on summer pet care, visit our Hot-Weather Tips. Stay cool out there!
I have a Persian, and have always had Persians. He is an indoor only cat, and I do shave his belly periodically, so that he does not mat up. My vet says that is fine, to shave the belly and trim the butt fur. He is happy, and my life is much easier as well.
Exactly! And of course they will tell you it's better for the dog when it means more business.
No, groomers are not vets,but also each situation is very different! You can't always go by what you have been told, sometimes you have to think for yourself and your pet! Although that shaving can be the wrong thing to do,it also may be the right thing to do,depending on the pets discomfort,or if the fur is badly matted,etc.
Put-downs are not nice, dear.... I think much of this individual... whether it's hair or fur, whether the breed is from Alaska and now lives in Florida...... a friend in FL says her ?Bijou? feels definitely better when the "Hair is "lightened" [shortened].
I am a certified groomer and I do not encourage my clients to shave their pets. Not mentioned in the article, but regular shaving also damages the hair and in a lot of cases, especially double coated breeds, the hair will never grow back in properly. No groomers are not vets but we do have to learn about diseases, skin problems, etc so we can alert the parent. We are often times the first to notice something "off" with the animal.
No, they're not vets, but groomers do deal with a wide variety of pets on a daily basis.
I agree! I have a long haired Chihuahua mix and at night he's restless, pants and just seems uncomfortable, so I had him shaved short and he's completely comfortable at night now! I also had a Border Collie with a thick coat and with her old age she really struggled. I had her shaved and she acted like a puppy again!

Sinead O'Connor has threatened Miley Cyrus with legal action after she seemingly mocked the Irish singer's mental health issues in response to an open letter.
Irritated by Cyrus' claims to Rolling Stone magazine that her new video for "Wrecking Ball" was inspired by O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U promo," O'Connor penned a lengthy message to the 20-year-old, urging her to stop prostituting herself.
The former "Hannah Montana" star refused to heed the advice, and hit back on Twitter.com – likening O'Connor to troubled actress Amanda Bynes, before uploading a string of tweets O'Connor wrote during a meltdown last year, when she had attempted to take her own life while battling severe depression.
Now in a second letter to Cyrus, O'Connor angrily accuses her of mocking the mentally ill, and has warned her to take down the tweets or face action from her lawyers.
On Facebook.com on Thursday, she wrote, "Miley… Really? Who the (expletive) is advising you? Because taking me on is even more (expletive) stupid than behaving like a prostitute and calling it feminism. You have posted today tweets of mine which are two years old, which were posted by me when I was unwell and seeking help so as to make them look like they are recent. In doing so you mock myself and Amanda Bynes for having suffered with mental health issues and for having sought help…
"I am staggered that any 20-yr-old woman of the 21st century could behave in such a dangerous and irresponsible manner as to not only send the signal to young women that it's OK to act like prostitutes but also to the signal that those who have suffered or do suffer mental health problems are to be mocked and have their opinions invalidated. Have you no sense of danger at all? or responsibility? Remove your tweets immediately or you will hear from my lawyers. I am certain you will be hearing from all manner of mental health advocacy groups also. It is not acceptable to mock any person for having suffered."
Unwilling to back down, Cyrus then replied via Twitter.com, writing, "Sinead. I don't have time to write you an open letter cause I'm hosting & performing on SNL (Saturday Night Live) this week. So if you'd like to meet up and talk lemme know in your next letter."

An excessively large, let alone loud exaust on a car, mainly on the so called "rice burners", "ricers" etc. Apparently they figure that the louder one's car sounds, the faster. Also needs a minimum diameter of 6'' or 7''. In the end, as a result, these cars sound like beavers passing gas in the mud.
When I was walking down the street the other day, I heard this ungodly noise, so I turned around to see this "souped" up Import car coming by, and of course, fitted with an extra loud fart cannon. I could only laugh... I always say "Flat 6 internal combustion, accept no substitute. Only by Porsche."

The act of farting mid-shit and literally shooting it out of your ass.
I farted mid-shit and it shot in the toilet. My butt is a fart cannon.
Alex has a powerful fart cannon. He broke the toilet last Tuesday.

Okay but 1/3 lb burger more like 1/6 lb time it got cooked. Gluten free bun was good but too big for the way the patty turned out.
2333 South International Parkway, Dallas, TX 75261
Manager Stephine- has a cousin with celiac. Help me with a burger (no gf buns) and fries. I would eat here again. The burrito place in same store would be okay for a meal in a bowl.
2040 NASA Parkway, Houston, TX 77058
They have gluten free buns. they were not very good. the manager was very difficult when I asked about the fries being gluten free. then asked if they were cooked with everything else, he said yes. I asked if the non beef burgers had filers/were gluten free. Getting an answer was also difficult. basically the manager and cook had no real idea what gluten free means. I did not get sick with an elk burger on GF bun, but was afraid to try anything else.
5500 Greenville Avenue #505, Dallas, TX 75206
The gluten free buns taste really good!! Only three stars, though, because that was the only gluten free thing on the menu.
1732 South Loop 288, Denton, TX 76205
loved my burger. I was so pleased to see them on the list. gf bun was warn and soft. as with all gf bread it firms up a bit
2947 Preston Road, Frisco, TX 75034
Two stars for carrying gf buns. I'm Celiac and not even super sensitive but got very sick after eating here. They need some training on cc.
403 Greens Road, Houston, TX 77060
The immediately squad they have nothing that is gluten free. Didn't even try to help find me options. No Gluten Free options were available in IAH Terminal A. Ate at Panchitos Mexican with just salad. Very disappointing healthy options in this terminal. Chilis also claimed nothing on their menu was gluten free either.
11445 Fountain Lake Drive, Stafford, TX 77477
Gluten free bun but no gluten free menu. Cashier was not sure if fries were gluten free and wasn't very helpful. We didn't take any chances.
6455 East Southern Avenue, Mesa, AZ 85206
No dedicated fryer at 700p they shut it off carefully selected GF toppings and they made something else got annoyed when I said no I wasn't going to eat what they made because I had no idea what is in it.
Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The manager came out to assist me with my order and to make sure my meal was kept gluten free. I got a fantastic burger (no bun) with some fries and everything was so delicious. The staff was accommodating and very friendly. :)
6455 East Southern Avenue, Mesa, AZ 85206
They say their fries and burgers are gluten free, we did not have ill effects after eating them so it must be true. They even offer gluten free buns. It's an extra charge for the buns, but they were good! It was the first time my kids have ever had buns on their burgers!
24033 Cinco Ranch Boulevard, Katy, TX 77494
My daughter had a burger wrapped in lettuce and French fries, and she loved it! The manager we spoke to seemed knowledgeable about Celiac and the need to be completely safe and GF. We felt comfortable and the kids all enjoyed their burgers!
9845 IH-10 West, San Antonio, TX 78230
$2 upcharge for GF bun and it was hard as a rock.
115 Alamo Plaza, San Antonio, TX 78205
After ordering and paying $24 for our meal, waiting for the food to be ready, we were told they didn't have the gf bun. They put my chicken on lettuce and called it good. While they do use a separate fryer for their fries, I would have been better served going somewhere else. Disappointing.
1732 South Loop 288, Denton, TX 76205
Gluten free buns for burgers with a small up charge
5500 Greenville Avenue #505, Dallas, TX 75206
The manager is well versed in Celiac needs. Good alternatives to fries available.
1704 George Bush Dr E, College Station, TX 77840
TERRIBLE!!! BEWARE!!! OUCH!!!! People need to understand more about celiac and gluten sensitivity! What is the point of selling gluten free items when they can't be careful when preparing? Even after we asked for them to switch gloves and paid extra for the buns... cross contamination got us!
2947 Preston Road, Frisco, TX 75034
Horrible. Got sick IMMEDIATELY. I literally watched them handle 5-10 buns and then mine, which was stacked BETWEEN other regular buns. Gloves NEVER changed. Even my children's regular order was incorrect. CROSS CONTAMINATION ALL OVER THE PLACE. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!
2947 Preston Road, Frisco, TX 75034
Kitchen staff is not at all aware of cross contamination. We went here because they have local oven buns but they stacked the regular buns on top of the gluten free buns. My wife has Celiacs and she got really sick two bites into her burger.
111 23rd Street, Galveston, Texas
I was nervous after reading other reviews, but we were on the Strand. I had the Mushroom and Swiss burger and it went well! The bun held together nicely and was fresh! I did not order the fries after reading others were sick after trying them. All in all a good experience!
10825 East 71st Street, Tulsa, OK 74133
Amazing gluten free bun! Even better than red robins, which I also love. Although I noticed after eating the French fries that they fry everything in the same fryer. I got sick anyways and I'm pretty sure that fryer is the cause. Can never be sure though.
7724 Louetta Road, Spring, TX 77379
AVOID!!!! The manager of the store rang up our order, we ordered a GF bun for my son... He even talked about how he had heard that it was good... Then when the order came I tasted it.... And it was a regular bun... So my son was glutened as well as myself. The manager comped the meal but acted like it wasn't a big deal. I will be sick for hours, and my son will as well, and he basically acted like he forgot to add cheese to a burger. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!
4101 E 42nd St, Ste 96, Odessa, TX 79762
They have a gluten free bun that is $2 extra. Not worth it. Dry and tough, even after toasting. Order a burger w/out bun. Burgers always tasty here.
1991 North Interstate 35 Frontage Road, Round Rock, TX 78664
The gluten free bun tasted good, but they fry their french fries in the same oil as chicken tenders. That's a big no no for gluten free :(
25407 Bell Patna Drive, Katy, TX 77494
I enjoyed my burger patty & sweet potato fries. However, my bottom hamburger bun was pretty hard, and the top was just so-so. I ended up taking the bottom bun off and only ate half of the top. I have only tried it once. I would be willing to sample it again. FYI - There is a $2.00 up charge to get a gluten-free bun.
13010 Northwest Freeway, Houston, TX 77040
Very good Fuddruckers! great management! Good food!
3929 Southwest Freeway, Houston, TX 77027
The worst Fuddruckers ever!! They messed up our order twice and everything was burnt! I will not be coming back!!
2805 N Reserve St, Missoula, Mt 59808
Great food and service. Very few places have GF fries. So glad to have a chance to have this yummy choice.
7250 Highway 6 North, Houston, TX 77095
Wasn't happy that my GF meal meant I was up charged, but the bun was very good, overall, very happy.
11023 Pecan Park Boulevard, Cedar Park, TX 78613
Like previous reviewer said, you need to explain a lot here. The GF bun was fantastic though. An important note about the buns... Call ahead as they don't always have them in stock.
2290 Buckthorne Place, The Woodlands, TX 77380
Buyer beware! I have celiac disease so eating GF is very important. I ate at the Fuddruckers in the Grogan's Mill shopping center in The Woodlands, TX tonight. I ordered a GF cheeseburger on a GF bun. I asked about the fries and was told that they fry them separately. The food tasted fine, but it is painfully obvious that I consumed gluten. I have indigestion and am severely swollen to the point that I now look like I am at least 5-6 months pregnant. I am disappointed that I will not be able to eat at my local Fuddruckers again. I don't trust them to at all to deliver what was promised.
4360 Kingwood Drive, Kingwood, TX 77339
Very accommodating to a person with Celiac Disease. Ask to speak to a manager to ensure that there's no cross contamination. Also ask for a gluten free bun and for steak fries without seasoning.
11023 Pecan Park Boulevard, Cedar Park, TX 78613
Four star gluten free (contaminated frier, shared toppings risk contamination), three star sodas (the overly complex soda machine with flavor shot options is way overly strong on the flavor shots). Be sure to explain you need gluten free surfaces in addition to gluten free bun.
10500 Town And Country Way, Houston, TX 77024
Had the bacon cheeseburger in a lettuce wrap. Cashier did not seem knowledgeable so I asked to speak to the manager. Asked him to wipe down grill & change gloves otherwise I would get sick from cross contamination. Manager said he could not guarantee that the fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer so I did not get them.
4520 Frankford Road #1200, Dallas, TX 75287
What is with you gluten free people, I work at this fuddruckers and when you complain about cross contamination your wasting your time and ours. You know we actually had to empty out are fryer and put new grease in it just cause a customer complained that he doesn't want his fries to be in the same fryer as our other food. Also when they come in and worry about CC on our grill they ask us to clean the whole grill and then cook their food.That means we have to turn it off, wait for it to cool, poor water and let it evaporate then clean it, wait 30 min and then turn it on. You guys are a pain in the ass
2040 NASA Parkway, Houston, TX 77058
Their gluten free buns are amazing. Also, I never get sick when I eat there.
10101 South Post Oak Road, Houston, TX 77096
They have gluten free buns but, the seasoning for the meat has gluten. The fries are made in a shared fryer, then sprinkled with seasoning.
2947 Preston Road, Frisco, TX 75034
Yes, they have gf buns, but they taste like cardboard. I'd rather do a lettuce wrap, but I appreciate that they are trying!
2947 Preston Road, Frisco, TX 75034
The burger was amazing! They do have a gf bun but I opted for using the lettuce to wrap the burger. The girl at the counter clearly knew their fries were not gf bc they are fried with breaded items! Will eat here again!!
2947 Preston Road, Frisco, TX 75034
They have gluten free buns for their burgers. Their fries share a common fryer. None of their salad dressings are gluten free. The only options for a side are a salad with no dressing or apple slices. I ordered a gf bun, and was still served a regular bun. Since this is my first time here, I didn't notice until the other person in my party said their bun tasted weird. Worst experience ever.
2290 Buckthorne Place, The Woodlands, TX 77380
I saw on here that it was GF friendly for my husband....so we chose this place for an over night stay dinner stop. First off the girls at the counter could have cared less and had no idea about GF anything. One girl said they had a GF bun. We asked about the fries and she said 'We try and keep them separate but workers throw other stuff in there, so the are contaminated'...great....'what about you tortilla chips' we asked...'contaminated' they said. Ugh, so my husband ordered a side salad instead and they put croutons in it. They were mad when he took it back, but hey did give us a new one. My husband did say the bun was the best he had ever had. The place was dirty an not crowded, the workers.....well let's just say interesting. Location was cool. Hard to find, can't see from the road at all! I wasn't even sure how to rate this review. The rest if us got regular burgers, they were okay with steak fries. $43.00 for 4 if us, wow! Expensive!
115 Alamo Plaza, San Antonio, TX 78205
They cooked the food separately and put a cover on it while serving so it didn't get contaminated.
4360 Kingwood Drive, Kingwood, TX 77339
We just went there last night. It took three tries to get a salad with no croutons. The buns may have been gluten free but we suspect serious cross contamination. The fries are NOT gluten free. They are fried with onion rings. If you are allergic to gluten (celiac) avoid this Fudruckers.
4855 Pan American Fwy, Albuquerque, NM 87109
GF Buns! Dedicated fries and they have been trained! Great burgers!
2120 Yale Blvd SE, Albuquerque, NM 87106
Finally, GF buns! They are tastier than Red Robins! Dedicated fries. Best gf burgers in town!
2040 NASA Parkway, Houston, TX 77058
Fries are fried with other gluten peoducts. Staff cant get the GF bun correct. Very disappointed.
6759 Northwest Loop 410, San Antonio, TX 78238
Staff was completely ignorant of menu items and there was no allergen information available. The only thing they knew is they had GF hamburger buns. They were clueless about ingredients in anything else. I ordered a GF burger with sweet potato fries and the fries are battered in presumably flour. I even spoke to the manager and they knew nothing. Would not return if you have any allergies; only okay for casual GF eaters who want a GF hamburger bun and don't mind cross contamination or other gluten containing ingredients.
6759 Northwest Loop 410, San Antonio, TX 78238
Gf bun seemed fresh. I called ahead and the man I spoke with was very helpful and nice.

Research Projects
While many of our breeding projects and trialing programs focus on enhancing the quality of Longwood's displays, other projects tend to serve the broader horticultural audience.
This point is illustrated in our effort to identify newer, more effective propagation techniques. The following examples highlight some of the additional research that we are conducting outside of breeding and trials.
Visit our Staff Publications page to read more published articles on plant research completed at Longwood Gardens.
Our researchers are actively working to identify soil blends that will yield the greatest benefit for both the plant and the environment.
This seed produces the wonderful blue cineraria that are always an eye catcher in our late winter/early spring display.
In the mid 1970s, Longwood Gardens began a breeding program to develop improved forms of yellow-flowered Clivia miniata.
We are developing new cultivars from seeds collected from virus-free plants in our collection and refining a protocol for micropropagation of canna's using shoot-tip cultures from virus-free stock.
Our researchers wanted to determine the optimal seed sowing date to minimize production time while maintaining plant and inflorescence size.
Thousands of yellow florets, which open in panicles, seem to glow in the shade, and absolutely shine in full sun.
It is critical that our mums be free from virus diseases that can cause stunting, chlorosis (yellowing of parts of leaves), and lack of vigor.

With Span on tear, Nats seek boost vs. Marlins
Gio faces last-place Fish, who start Alvarez in opener of four-game set
The Nationals may be the hottest team in baseball, but their season-long battle with inconsistency has set the mathematical odds against them heading into the final 10 games of the season.
After taking two out of three from the NL East-leading Braves at home this week, the Nats are 13-4 in September, but they have gained only two games on the Reds for the final NL Wild Card spot since the beginning of the month, and they currently sit 5 1/2 back. This weekend's four-game set with the last-place Marlins is practically a must-sweep situation if the team that once counted itself among the favorites to represent the NL in the World Series wants to keep its fleeting playoff hopes alive.
"This time of year, you want to be playing for something," center fielder Denard Span said. "It's tough enough in September to get up for a ballgame. But when you're playing for something like we are, it makes it easier to come here and do our jobs. I've been on both sides of the spectrum, where you're not playing for something in September and you are playing for something in September. It's definitely obviously a lot better to be playing for something."
After a successful bullpen session on Monday, Stephen Strasburg appeared set to return to the mound to make his first start in 10 days in the series opener. The right-hander was scratched last Friday with right forearm tightness, which might have occurred when he was experimenting with a new pitch the day before in New York. Strasburg rested for two days and threw a bullpen session on Monday without issue, but told manager Davey Johnson on Wednesday that he still felt some tightness in his forearm.
"He felt a little something there, but he wanted to pitch tomorrow," Johnson said after Wednesday night's loss. "I said, 'Well, no way. I got guys on full rest. I'll pitch them and you can be in the lineup for Saturday.' So it's my decision."
Instead, Gio Gonzalez will get the ball on Thursday, fresh off having a streak of three consecutive wins snapped with Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Phillies. Gonzalez has posted a 1.63 ERA since yielding seven earned runs to the Royals in just 3 1/3 innings of work on Aug. 23.
Right-hander Henderson Alvarez gets the ball for the Marlins, hoping to keep his recent momentum going toward a positive send-off to his injury-shortened 2013 campaign. Alvarez enters Thursday second only to Jose Fernandez for the lowest WHIP among Marlins starters, thanks to seven scoreless innings on Saturday in which he allowed just four hits.
"It was big, exactly what we needed, especially with a doubleheader," Miami manager Mike Redmond said after the first game of Saturday's twin bill. "You know going in it's going to be a long day. To get the solid pitching performance from Alvarez, he looked great."
Nationals: Span's hitting streak continues
• With a single in the seventh inning on Wednesday night, Span extended his hitting streak to 29 consecutive games, now two games clear of former Minnesota teammate Michael Cuddyer for the longest streak in the Majors this season.
• Left-hander Ross Detwiler was scheduled to fly to Viera, Fla., to pitch in an instructional league game on Monday after throwing three simulated innings in Washington on Wednesday. Detwiler has been on the 60-day disabled list since July with a herniated disc in his back, and Johnson implied that there may not be enough games remaining on the schedule for Detwiler to return to the club this season.
"If that's the plan, he might as well stay down there," Johnson said Wednesday. "I don't see it. He'd need to have four days off, and then there's only one game or two games left. I don't see the point in coming out and having him for one game, probably. But that's going to be a decision made down the road."
Marlins: Pierre still level with DiMaggio
• Juan Pierre grounded out in the seventh inning of Wednesday night's 4-3 win over the Phillies, keeping the 14-year veteran even with Joe DiMaggio on the all-time hits list with 2,215 career hits. Pierre tied DiMaggio for 175th place with a pinch-hit double in the seventh inning of Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.
"I don't think some of these guys know exactly who DiMaggio was," Pierre said of his teammates. "Especially being so young. But they all came up and congratulated me, so that's cool."
• Third baseman Ed Lucas stayed hot with a 2-for-5 effort and the go-ahead home run in the 10th inning of Miami's 4-3 win. Lucas has now hit safely in nine of the last 10 games, and he is hitting .321 (17-of-53) in September.
Worth Noting
• Miami right fielder Giancarlo Stanton crushed a two-run home run in the fifth inning on Wednesday night, his 23rd homer of the season and 12th career homer against the Phillies. Stanton has hit 18 of his 116 career home runs against the Nationals, six more than any other opponent.
• Johnson said last week that Strasburg's lingering injury is not related to the surgically-repaired ligament in the right-hander's elbow. Strasburg said on Tuesday that he felt fine and was good to start in the series opener against the Marlins.

You can't beat these prices for quality ink cartridges....and I always do my homework! Why pay more than you have to for anything! These ink cartridges are as good as the name brand.... They print perfect photos too! I highly recommend!
I have always been sceptical of refilled or refurbished ink cartridges for fear of leaking or smearing. Lots of horror stories out there. These have worked well so far and I am pleased.
Excellent product and saves you lots of $$$$ Fast shipping!
Awesome. very compatible with Pixma Mp560. Thanks a lot! Saved me a bunch on Ink!
This was exactly what I needed at a great price . .
Great quality at a great price, half the price of Canon inks. Will definitely purchase again and again and tell my friends.
While the price is amazing, that obviously does not matter if the product does not work. The first two pages we printed were all streaked with a rainbow of colors. The following pages have been essentially blank, some faint color but no recognizable images and no words.
This generic ink had absolutely no problems loading in the mp560. I've bought generics before and never had them work so smoothly with no hiccups. I've only printed about eight photos, but the ink quality appears every bit as good as the original.
Few things are more ridiculous than the price of an ink cartridge. I spent *** the first time I reloaded my Canon Pixma MP560 with new cartridges (I got the printer for ***). Then I found these. Same exact quality, same exact cartridge, 1/5th the price. Thank you Overstock!!! I've ordered these four times now, and they have all worked great each time.
So far, I have changed out 3 different cartridges and all have worked great. In the past, with a different after market brand, there would be cartridges that my Canon printer would recognize; usually they wouldn't "click" into place properly. I have not had that happen to me with these. Very reasonable price as compared to Canon's name brand.. I will be buying all my replacement cartridges from Overstock if they continue to carry G&G brand.

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida – Red Bull KTM Factory Team riders Ken Roczen and Ryan Dungey both scored a podium finish at the tenth round of the Monster Energy Supercross Series held at Daytona International Speedway.
Ryan Dungey put together a solid heat race finishing fourth in the first 450SX heat to transfer into the main event while teammate Ken Roczen was able to pull off a third place finish in heat number two.
"The track was very soft today and it caused a lot of ruts to form", stated Roczen. "It made for a challenging race but it was exciting with such a huge crowd cheering us on."
In the main event, Dungey leaped off the line on his KTM 450 SX-F to a decent start rounding the first corner in fourth position. Roczen was a few spots back sitting in eighth. Within the first lap, Dungey moved into third while Roczen picked up two spots moving up to sixth.
Roczen continued to charge forward making as many passes as he could manage in the opening laps to not lose time to the lead riders. On the fourth lap he was able to move around Andrew Short to pick up fifth place. Two laps later, Roczen reeled in Malcolm Stewart and passed him over the wall jump to take over fourth position. Once in fourth he began to close in on the third place ride of his teammate, Dungey.
At the halfway point the two Red Bull KTM teammates found themselves in a three-man train with Dean Wilson battling for second position. On lap thirteen, Roczen was able to take an outside line in the corner before a rhythm section to make the pass on his teammate. Dungey did not fall off the pace and continued to stay on the tail of Roczen. Two laps later, Roczen and Dungey both pressured Wilson until he buckled and both riders moved into a podium position. The two teammates held their positions and went on to finish second and third respectively for the night.
"They did quite a bit of work to help the track, but it was still really tough", stated Dungey. "I spent a lot of time trying to get around Wilson tonight but was finally able to make the pass. I'm glad to be back on the podium."
Roczen stated, "I had to fight my way through the pack tonight. It was a lot of work but the track was actually pretty fun and I am really happy with a second place finish."
BTO Sports/KTM rider Andrew Short put in his best finish of the season landing a fifth place result. His finish put three KTM's inside the top five. The points earned tonight helped Short move up two positions in the overall standings to sixth place. Dungey sits second overall in the standings after ten rounds, while Roczen is just one point back in third.
