Comments about Race Face Race 5 Bolt Chainring:
I had the full Race Face set and had to replace the middle ring. Jenson is one of the few places to still have some 5-bolt laying around.

Comments about Race Face Race 5 Bolt Chainring:
I wanted to go from 50 to 48 teeth on outer chainring, and after getting phone help determined that this model was compatible with my crank and setup. Installation went fine, as did lowing the front derailleur a bit. I have a 2x9 gearing setup, and could never use the small cogs, had to multiple shift in back after shifting in front. Much better now.

Comments about Race Face Race 5 Bolt Chainring:
I'm on my third RaceFace middle chainring in 10 years -- not sure if that's good or bad. These five-bolt rings are getting harder to find, so it's great that RaceFace is making them! Not sure how I lost the teeth on my last one, but I am sure I can't fault the company!
Comments about Race Face Race 5 Bolt Chainring:
I've ridden RaceFace chainrings since '99, and I've been very satisfied with them. When my 5-yr-old 32T ring recently failed me due to worn teeth, I ordered this one as a replacement. After a couple rides, I'm really impressed with the shifting, and it really is lighter than the older version by 3 grams (53 vs. 56).
Comments about Race Face Race 5 Bolt Chainring:
Race face stuff is all dynamite but i must say i have had a 5 bolt crankset of theirs for over 5 years and am just now ordering new rings. i abused them heavily and they never let me down till now. the outer ring is only missing like 2 teeth after many many boulder and log impacts. i am definately sticking with race face.

Do you have problems maintaining high test coverage? All code is guilty until tested innocent. Send the untested code to Guantanamo!
Guantanamo is a tool that deletes all code lines that are not covered by tests. Guantanamo is part of the Extreme XP Tools family. Some thoughts about why it was created are written down here. Consider this sample coverage report by Clover:
Removing that untested code
Guantanamo has an Ant task that you can use to remove untested (in other words, unreliable) code. It is defined like this:
And used like this:
Guantanamo Ant Task Documentation
Where to write the modified sources
Path to Clover XML Coverage file (clover.xml)
Path to JCoverage XML Coverage file (coverage.xml)
One and only one of these must be specified.
After you have run Guantanamo over your sources, you can run Clover over the guantanamoed sources again and see the wonders it has done. In the case of our example, it would look like the following:
Eating our own dog food
Guantanamo is eating its own dog food. When it came to a working state, I ran it over itself, just to discover that there were lots of lines of code that were never executed. They no longer exist. And Guantanamo is still working fine. In fact, it has 100% coverage
- Always leave guantanamoed code in a compiling state.
- Work with other coverage engines than Clover (which is the only supported one for now).
Guantanamo has hijacked Ashcroft's JIRA, where you can post patches, bugs and feature requests.
Q: Does the deleted code get deleted from the original sources?
A: No. The original sources are always left unchanged. Guantanamo writes the modified sources to a different folder that you have to specify. It's up to you if you want to transport them back to where they came from.
Q: What about good code without tests? Will it be taken away and sent to Guantanamo too?
A: Yes. We follow our own rules here. Your code has to prove its innocence through coverage. We don't have to prove that the code has bugs, we just assume it has. And therefore it must be taken away. It is for your own security.
Q: If good code is removed, doesn't this question the validity of Guantanamo itself?
A: You can't prove that untested code is good. Things that cannot be proven good must go.
Q: Have you considered that enforcing too strict XP policies on developers may turn them against XP as a whole?
A: Mind your own business, or we'll send your operating system to Guantanamo as well. If you're not with us, you're against us you sloppy waterfall coder! If it isn't 100% covered it is evil, evil, evil!
Q: Why did you choose such a bad-taste name?
A: What's bad taste - the name, or what's going on there? Would you rather look the other way and give the tool a nice name like "summer breeze"?

Even the bad times are good for new Bok coach Peter de Villiers.
There are no photos on the walls of Jake White's former office at Saru headquarters in Newlands. Nails, hammered in at various angles, balls of dried Prestik and traces of double-sided tape are the only evidence that this room was once well decorated. On the modest pine desk is a laptop, a silver pen and pencil set and a telephone. The comfortable-looking black chair behind the desk is the only sign of luxury in a room that now belongs to Peter de Villiers.
The new Bok coach is stuck in traffic and I'm sitting alone at a round table next to the desk. It's only after a couple of minutes that I notice the small picture frame. In it is a poem. After two weeks in the job, this is the only personal item De Villiers has brought with him from his Paarl home. The words reveal a lot about its owner.
You are your greatest asset,
There's nothing you can't do.
No one can keep you from dreaming,
Only you can make them come true.
What you achieve is determined
By the desire you possess.
There is no better feeling
Than the feeling of success.
Believe in who you are
And what you do,
Don't leave things up to fate,
It's strictly up to you.
When De Villiers walks in, I shake his hand and ask how he is. "Even the bad times are good," he says with a smile, before pulling up a chair.
Interviewing the new Bok coach is like having a verbal joust. When I ask questions he's comfortable with, he gives insightful, intelligent answers. But when I ask anything controversial, he either deflects the question with a question of his own or uses a range of metaphors.
De Villiers was born in Paarl in 1957 – nine years after the introduction of apartheid. When he was a child, his family was forced to leave their comfortable home because of the Group Areas Act.
He was a small child, but he refused to be bullied. "You know, there's no fight like a fight with no rules," he says. "I never allowed kids to push me around then, and I don't let people push me around today. You don't need a big body to have a lot of brains, you know."
De Villiers began playing rugby at the age of nine, represented Boland Schools in primary and high school and made his provincial debut while studying to become a teacher. Later on, he was invited to Saru trials but missed out on selection for the non-racial national team.
He has no regrets about his playing career, even though he did not play Currie Cup and Test rugby.
"If white people didn't want me to live among them, why would I want to play with them?" he says. "Rugby was only one part of my life, not my life. By not playing in white competitions, I was telling them I didn't like the way they treated my people. However, those black players that chose to play with whites were not traitors. A traitor is someone who sells his country out. I decided to stay; my best friend – who played flyhalf in my team – chose to go, and we are still friends today. He later told me that the people [in white rugby] were dishonest with him and he wasn't treated well."
When asked about apartheid and the affect it had on him, De Villiers tells two stories. The first is about his family being forcibly removed from their home by the apartheid police. The second was later in life when he was a teacher and a respected member of his community. De Villiers was pushing his eldest daughter on the swings in a park when a white security guard threw them out. "He treated us like dogs," he recalls. "But apartheid affected the lives of all South Africans – black and white. If you were a white person, you were not allowed to mix with black people. You can't be a holistic person if you don't interact with people from all walks of life."
De Villiers, as the poem on his desk confirms, believes in himself. He also loves himself a lot.
"Loving myself enables me to love others and congratulate them when they achieve something," he says. "I know what I want from life, and I always back my own abilities. I'm not afraid to use the expertise of others, but most of the time I rely on myself."
De Villiers says his top priority in life is God, "because God is everywhere", but admits his other priorities are determined by circumstance. "My job could be my top priority today, and my family tomorrow. When I wake up in the morning, I decide what my priorities will be for the day."
While he gets on with most people, he often clashes with those who are economical with the truth. "I don't like dishonest people. I tend to interfere in their affairs," he explains.
De Villiers was always going to coach after he stopped playing rugby. "I knew I had something to offer other players," he says. De Villiers enjoyed instant success with the SA Correctional Services and SA Colleges sides, before being approached by Tygerberg. After two years with the Cape Town club, he was appointed coach of the Western Province Disas, the union's senior B team. However, although he took the Disas to three consecutive finals, he was never considered to coach Western Province's Currie Cup team (he was only made an assistant coach in 1998).
I ask De Villiers if this lack of opportunity, early in his coaching career, frustrated him. Does he believe WP used him just to add colour to their coaching staff? Was there ever a plan to groom him to become the Currie Cup head coach?
"There's nothing I can do if people are dishonest," he says. "I don't get cross if people don't believe in me, because that's their view. I got a job at WP and I was successful in that job. That's all that mattered to me.
"As for only being an assistant coach, you don't have to be a pilot to fly from Cape Town to Durban; you can be the co-pilot too. You still get to your destination safely."
However, De Villiers was given a chance to coach internationally at age-group level – his SA U19 team finished third at the 1999 World Championship. Although he was also an assistant with the Bulls in the 2001 Super 12, no provincial union approached him to coach their senior side. It was only in 2002 that the Falcons finally gave him a break.
When he left the Brakpan-based union in 2004, there were allegations of racism, a claim the coach denies.
"Those three years at the Falcons made me the coach I am today," he says. "It was a tough three years, though, because I lost 33 players and had a budget of R1.2 million compared with the R10 million at the disposal of the previous coach. But I'm grateful for the opportunity they gave me."
When SA U21 coach Jake White got the Bok job in 2004, De Villiers was given another opportunity on the world stage. His Baby Boks finished third at the World Championship that year, won it in 2005 and finished second in 2006.
Yet in 2007, De Villiers was still waiting for another opportunity to coach at Currie Cup or Super 14 level. Instead, he worked as a consultant to Maties first team in Stellenbosch, and the club won the WP Super A League and the National Club Championships. Later in the year, he took the Emerging Springboks to Romania and won the IRB Nations Cup. When he returned home, he was amazed by the low-key reception the team received. Even more hurtful was the fact that no-one from Saru contacted him to offer their congratulations.
De Villiers was close to Newlands rugby stadium when he received the call from SA Rugby CEO Johan Prinsloo. "Hi Peter, Johan here. I need you to come to the fourth floor of the Sports Science Institute for a press conference. You've got the job."
"I cannot describe the way I felt at that moment," recalls De Villiers. "I had prepared myself for both eventualities, but I was still blown away by the enormity of it all."
At just after 1.30pm, De Villiers walked into his first Springbok press conference wearing the Bulls blazer he'd earned in 2001. After facing the media – and hearing Saru president Oregan Hoskins admit that transformation had played a part in his selection – De Villiers drove home to find his house covered in Bok flags and messages from well-wishers scribbled on the windows in white wash-off paint.
At that moment De Villiers realised just how close his community really was.
The new Bok coach had switched off his cellphone before entering the Bok press conference and turned it on only later that night when things had calmed down. On his voicemail was a message from Jake White, wishing him all the best.
I ask De Villiers if he spoke to any of the other contenders in the days that followed. "Chester [Williams] was the only one who phoned me and we had a good chat. If I had missed out on the Bok job, I definitely would have called whoever got it and said well done."
If De Villiers had spoken to Heyneke Meyer – who he edged 10-9 in the President's Council vote – what would he have said? "I'd have told him to get on with his life," he replies.
De Villiers won't divulge the details of his presentation to the coaching committee, which recommended his name to the President's Council. "I've been told it's confidential," he says. "But I can tell you I made them a couple of promises. I promised I would do everything in my power to ensure the Boks stay No 1 in the world, and I promised to take the game to the people."
He aims to keep his promises by playing an expansive style of rugby – the total opposite of what we came to expect from Jake White's Boks.
"Structure in rugby came from Australia, a country which doesn't have a lot of rugby talent," he explains. "I believe the more talent you have, the less structure there should be. We have a massive amount of talent in South Africa and I want to give them the freedom to express themselves. I want my players to be the best they can be, on and off the field."
I ask De Villiers whether he thinks the Boks can realistically expect to beat the All Blacks at their own game. Under White, the Boks won three Tests against the arch-enemy by dominating up front and playing to a set structure – not by throwing the ball around.
"You'll get your answer in July [during the Tri-Nations]," De Villiers replies. "I believe we can beat the All Blacks with an expansive approach. We just need to have a positive mindset. If we can be successful with a negative mindset – as has often been the case in the past – imagine what we could achieve with a positive one."
Another White trait was to favour tall, big backs (Jean de Villiers, Frans Steyn, Butch James etc) over pocket rockets such as Brent Russell. Can the smaller provincial player in South Africa now dream of Bok selection under De Villiers?
"Let me put it this way," he says. "A small talented guy will always be better than a big untalented guy, and a big talented guy is better than a small talented guy. I will select the best player for the job."
Perhaps White's greatest achievement was to create a winning culture with the Boks. So it's good to know that De Villiers is a very bad loser. He says he can't even handle losing a game of marbles and doesn't know how he'll react if his Boks lose a Test in front of a global audience.
"The Boks play 12 Tests this year, and I want to win all 12. One loss in a season is one too many. Any defeat hurts me," he says.
There are those who say De Villiers is in a no-win situation. If he wins every game in 2008, he'll have done it with the team Jake built. If the Boks start to lose, he'll be the coach who stuffed up the world champions. De Villiers, however, refuses to accept that.
"No, no, no, no," he says loudly. "If we win all our games, it shows we've built on the winning culture created by Jake. If we lose, perhaps it's because there have been a few changes and we are busy rebuilding. So I think I'm in a win-win situation."
I've saved the most hard-hitting questions of the interview for last, and as they start coming De Villiers gets more agitated and his answers more evasive.
"When the Boks struggled under Jake White in 2006, his kids copped abuse at school. Have you warned your daughters what could happen if you go through a bad patch?"
"No, why would I do that? We're only going to have good times this year."
"When will you pick your Bok captain?"
"After we've chosen the first match 22 on merit. I can tell you one thing, though: one of those 22 players will be the captain."
"Do you rate Luke Watson?"
"I don't want to discuss Luke Watson because it will put pressure on him. Why didn't you ask me about Gcobani Bobo? Don't you want to know about Bobo?"
"No, I don't."
"Then leave Watson out of this interview because he's the same as any player to me."
"Do you have a relationship with Cheeky Watson?"
"Definitely. I am talking to you now, so I have a relationship with you too."
"Do you have a close relationship with Cheeky Watson?"
"I only have a close relationship with my wife. [Pause] Look, I listen to most people in life and then I make a choice who makes sense to me. Cheeky Watson makes a lot of sense to me when I talk to him. He's a very intelligent man, and he's a very honest man."
"According to a newspaper article last year, you said you'd select 10 blacks in the Bok starting XV."
"I never said that. What I told the journalist is that I don't see colour, I only see rugby players, and I will choose the best possible Bok team."
"If the best Bok team, in your view, is all-white, will you pick it?"
"You will never, ever in your life again see an all-white team. And you will never see an all-black team either. Each race group has different skills that complement each other."
"According to some scientific reports, the white Afrikaner is more suited to rugby than non-white players for genetic reasons. Could that explain why 13 out of the 15 Boks in the World Cup final were white?"
"That's absolute rubbish. Over the weekend I watched a white player [Stormers centre Corne Uys] carried off the field after being tackled by a coloured player [Boland wing Alshaun Bock]."
"How will you ensure Super 14 coaches select more black players this year?"
"I believe they will do that without me interfering."
"Wouldn't official quotas make more sense than this gentlemen's agreement?"
"Quotas do more harm than good. Look what quotas have done to the crayfish industry in this country. When there are official quotas, those non-white players in the team are regarded as quota players."
When our time is up, De Villiers breaks into a smile and claps his hands together. His PR manager, Neil de Beer, walks in and gives his client a new 2008 diary, with gold-edged pages. "Wow, look at this!" De Villiers enthuses. "It's even got my name on it!"
As I prepare to leave, they start discussing a gala banquet to be held in De Villiers's honour in Paarl. "I spoke to [minster of sport] Makhenkesi Stofile this morning and he confirmed he'll be there," says De Beer. "Oh, and Ceres is sponsoring the juice."
As I walk down the passage, I can hear De Villiers laughing.

I don't see how long it is until i click post. And once i did see how long it was i knew i would catch some for it.
If you thought it was trash, i respect that and if you though it was to long, pretend you clicked a link to an article. If you thought it was too long and trash, pretend you clicked a link to a Bleacher Report article.

Yes, you are mad. Yes, the team is bad. They were bad last year and the guy got extended. He's constantly praised as one of the best coaches in the NBA. He's more of a fact on this team than anyone, except Davis (when healthy). If anyone is losing anyone, some players may be losing themselves.
Being bad does not equate to the coach "losing" the team, not after 15 games. Get over it.
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
Everyone on this board should be insulted that you actually think someone would buy this junk, "guru." Go find some children who can't dispute your grab-bag of bags and misdirection.
Half of this team's salary is not playing.
Go find a comparison. Best of luck.
This team sucks. You just don't know why.
Better players will fix the Hornet's problems this season. Aside from a couple guys returning from injury, I'm not expecting better players to appear on the team this season. Next season should bring on another good influx of talent and then we will start seeing some tangible results.
This is a developing team. The kids on the team are trying to transition and find a role in the league. No amount of veterans are going to help without established talent and skill.

"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
We have a very young team with 2 of it's best players missing. Pair that with a young coach who is also learning. 3 years being a head coach isn't a whole lot of experience.
The team was bad last year, but more competitive during games. That's a fact and that was with massive amounts on injuries and no Ryan Anderson who is a very good player.
If a player is a "losing" it mentally, isn't it the coaches job to help get more focused? I'm not saying Monty is a bad coach, but he's not having the same effect on this team compared to last season right now. This team is easily getting blown out, not playing any defense at all compared to last season's team. The talent level is poor. Outside of Anderson, everyone else are backup type players, but was it that much different last season especially when most of the veterans were injured?
Its easy to say everything is going to be ok, but there's no evidence of that right now, there's no evidence of Davis and Gordon coming back anytime soon, and no evidence that Monty will get the rest of the guys to respond.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
The lack of faith on here is sad. Am i going to pretend Monty has done a perfect job thus far? No; i question some of the rotations hes been using and his reluctance to play his rookies a little more. This is a rebuilding year dudes; i think ppl expected way too much this season. So many ppl were doubtful of the team before this season; the minute we go 3-2 ppl are overjoyed like we have become a playoff contender. We are young, we've got some raw young talent, slow the **** down take a deep breath.

Sprint Cup Series
Pocono 400 - Pocono Raceway - Long Pond, Pa.
Thirteen races down and 13 to go before the 2014 Chase for the Sprint Cup championship begins.
The second half of the regular season kicks off this weekend at Pocono Raceway.
After being winless in the first 11 races this season, Jimmie Johnson has been hot with two victories in a row -- Charlotte and Dover. Johnson, the six-time and defending Sprint Cup champion, will try to win his third consecutive race, a feat that he nor any other driver has not accomplished since the fall of 2007. He won four in a row at that time -- Martinsville, Atlanta, Texas and Phoenix.
"I know that we've had some great runs, and usually when we're hot, it carries from track to track," Johnson said. "I certainly hope we can keep it rolling. [Pocono] is a great place for us."
Johnson has won at Pocono three times. He scored a season-sweep here in 2004. His most recent victory at this 2.5-mile triangle-shaped track came one year ago.
When the series competed here last August, Johnson started on the pole and dominated the first half of the race by leading 43 laps, but he cut his right- front tire and made contact with the wall. Johnson pitted numerous times for repairs but rebounded nicely for a 13th-place finish.
"Last year, we had some great speed in our race cars and really thought we had an opportunity for the sweep but unfortunately blew a tire off of turn 1 while having a dominant day," he said. "It took us out of the opportunity for the win, but I think we came back for an awesome finish with a torn up race car.
"It's a new year with a new rules package, so we'll have to get to work on that, and hopefully, we'll have what we need here."
Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano and Johnson are those drivers who have multiple victories in the series this season (2 each). Johnson is the highest-ranked of the three in the point standings. He sits fourth in points, compared to sixth for Logano and 12th for Harvick.
"We have some momentum right now," Johnson said. "Pocono is a great track for the No. 48 [Hendrick Motorsports] team. I know it is Chad's [Knaus, crew chief] favorite racetrack to go to because all three corners are different, the loading is different, the banking is different, and there are a bunch of tools and options to adjust the race car all the way around the track. That is what Chad really enjoys about that."
Right now, Hendrick Motorsports is virtually assured of having three of its four drivers in the Chase, which starts on Sept. 14 at Chicagoland. Jeff Gordon (2nd in points) scored the victory at Kansas last month, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (fifth in points) won the season-opening Daytona 500 in February.
Kasey Kahne, who drives the No. 5 car for Hendrick, has struggled somewhat this season, as he currently sits 18th in the point standings. Kahne has not won since the August 2013 race at Pocono (28 races ago).
In the first Sprint Cup practice session at Pocono on Friday afternoon, Brian Vickers recorded the fastest lap at 180.854 mph. Brad Keselowski was second quickest, followed by Harvick, Kurt Busch and Johnson. Kahne placed 20th on the charts.
Forty-three teams are on the entry list for the Pocono 400.
Camping World Truck Series
WinStar World Casino 400 - Texas Motor Speedway - Fort Worth, Texas
The Camping World Truck Series will hold its first "stand-alone" race of the season on Friday night at Texas Motor Speedway.
After Texas, the series will be the feature event at Gateway Motorsports Park, just outside of St. Louis, on June 14. The truck race at Kentucky Speedway on June 26 will kick off NASCAR's tripleheader weekend there.
Kyle Busch has won the last three races in the series -- Kansas, Charlotte and Dover -- but Busch is not competing at Texas, as the Sprint Cup Series is running at Pocono Raceway this weekend.
Erik Jones is driving the No. 51 Toyota for Kyle Busch Motorsports at Texas. Jones, who turned 18 years old on May 30, is scheduled to make his seventh career start in trucks but his first on an intermediate track. Last November at Phoenix, Jones became the youngest race winner in series history. His first start this season came in March at Martinsville, where he finished 18th.
KBM's No. 51 and No. 54 trucks have combined to win seven of the last nine races in the series, dating back to Darrell Wallace Jr.'s historic win on Oct. 26, 2013 at Martinsville.
"Racing on my first mile-and-a-half track is something I have been looking forward to for a long time now," Jones said. "It was great that NASCAR opened up the age to 16 for the Truck Series on short tracks, but still the main goal is to get on these big tracks. That's where the bulk of the schedule is, so I think it's something that every driver looks forward to. Kyle and this No. 51 team have had a lot of success on the mile-and-a-half tracks already this year, so I hope to go out and keep that streak alive."
While competing at Texas Motor Speedway, Jones will miss his high school graduation on Friday. However, just before driver introductions for the truck race here, Jones will walk across the pre-race stage in his cap and gown from Swartz Creek (Mich.) Community Schools to receive his high school diploma from track president Eddie Gossage, as "Pomp and Circumstance" plays on the PA system.
"I really only dreamed about running a NASCAR race, so I definitely couldn't imagine getting a high school diploma at one," Jones said. "I think it fits pretty well. The balance of my life since I was about seven [years old] has been those two things. It'll make for a great story someday and something that will make the torture of getting through high school more meaningful.
"Talking with friends the other day, they were wondering if I was going to be walking with my class. After I told them what was going to happen, they thought it was pretty awesome. I really can't think of a better way to get a diploma than at a racetrack, ready to go racing."
Just 27 teams are entered for the WinStar World Casino 400, which is nine short of a full 36-truck field.
Jeb Burton, the 21-year-old son of 2002 Daytona 500 winner Ward Burton, scored his maiden victory in the series one year ago at Texas, driving for Turner Scott Motorsports at the time. Burton is now behind the wheel of the No. 13 Toyota for ThorSport Racing.
Firestone 600 - Texas Motor Speedway - Fort Worth, Texas
Helio Castroneves put his season in high gear this past Sunday when he won race 2 in the IndyCar Series' weekend doubleheader at Detroit's Belle Isle Park.
Castroneves ended his 17-race winless drought after leading 42 of 70 laps and beating his Team Penske teammate, Will Power, to the finish line by 1.7 seconds in the second event in Detroit. The Brazilian captured his 29th career win, moving him into a tie with Rick Mears for 11th on the series' all-time race winners list. It was his first victory since June 2013 at Texas Motor Speedway.
With the win, Castroneves climbed up to second in the IndyCar championship standings, 19 points behind Power.
"We are on it. We are not playing around," Castroneves said after his win in Detroit.
The series will race at Texas on Saturday night. It is the second oval event of the season.
Two weeks ago, Castroneves came up 0.06 seconds short of winning the Indianapolis 500. He was attempting to win the Indy 500 for a record-tying fourth time. Ryan Hunter-Reay won it for the first time in his career.
Castroneves followed up from his second-place finish at Indianapolis with a fifth-place run in the first race in Detroit. He started on the pole and led the most laps in race 1 with 30. Castroneves is hoping his momentum will continue at Texas.
"I'm very confident with my team," he said. "The Hitachi car, we know what we got, especially after Indy. Ovals, we've improved quite a lot."
Castroneves won an IndyCar race at Texas for a record fourth time last year. He grabbed the lead on lap 97 and then ran in front for the remaining 132 laps. His other wins at this 1.5-mile oval came in 2004, '06 and '09.
"Wow, I've won there four times," Castroneves said. "I guess Texas has been good to me."
Castroneves has yet to win an IndyCar championship. Last year, he held the points lead for most of the season but ended up losing the title to Scott Dixon by 27 points.
"[Castroneves] is just very strong. The guy has passion for winning and motorsports itself, which this sport is very tough on you," said Power, who took over the points lead after winning race 1 in Detroit. "A guy like him that hasn't won a championship, he's been so close. He'll be a contender this year. To me, he's better than when I first turned up on the scene."
On Friday morning, Tony Kanaan led the way in the first practice session at Texas. Kanaan, who is driving the No. 10 car for Chip Ganassi Racing this season, posted a lap at 219.382 mph. Dixon was second quickest, followed by Ryan Briscoe, Marco Andretti and Castroneves.
Twenty-two teams are on the entry list for the Firestone 600.
Canadian Grand Prix - Circuit Gilles Villeneuve - Montreal, Canada
Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg claim they have resolved their differences from Monaco two weeks ago, and both drivers are looking forward to this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix.
There has been growing tension between Hamilton and Rosberg during the season, and it reached a new height in the Monaco Grand Prix. Rosberg started on the pole and led all 78 laps to win the Monaco GP for the second year in a row.
After the race had concluded, Rosberg and Hamilton kept their distance from each other. There were no congratulations or handshakes.
Hamilton was furious with Rosberg in qualifying for the Monaco GP when Rosberg, who held the provisional pole, ran wide and had to pull over on to an escape road. Hamilton was making his final run at the same time as his teammate's incident, but Hamilton had to slow his pace, as the yellow flags were displayed, preventing him from a possibility of winning the pole.
In Monaco, Rosberg ended Hamilton's four-race winning streak. Rosberg also reclaimed the lead in the Formula One world championship standings. He has accumulated 122 points for the season, compared to 118 for Hamilton.
"I would say that the feeling of having won Monaco is better than the feeling of leading the standings, as it means having broken the rhythm of Lewis - to put a stop to his winning streak," Rosberg said.
Both drivers have recently spoken, in hopes of resolving their issues from Monaco.
"We did talk to put that behind us," Rosberg said. "More than that, I don't want to say. I want to find a sound compromise between the interests of the fans and the team's interests, because there is always the tendency that the media blow up stories unnecessarily. Remember what frenzy was created in Monaco. We did talk about that. And now it's history."
Hamilton did note that the feud between Rosberg and him has been "overblown" by the media.
"We spoke after the race, and just like friends, we have our ups and downs," Hamilton said. "We've known each other a long, long time, so it's done and dusted. We look forward to working together to try to help this team win the constructors' championship."
Mercedes has been the dominant team this year, with Hamilton or Rosberg winning the first six grand prix and qualifying sessions.
On Friday, Fernando Alonso from Ferrari had the quickest lap in the first practice session. Alonso made a lap around Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in 1 minute, 17.238 seconds. Hamilton was second on the charts and Rosberg third.
In the second practice session, held later in the day, Hamilton had the fastest lap in 1:16.118, followed by Rosberg's lap in 1:16.293. Sebastian Vettel from Red Bull was third in that session. Vettel, the four-time and defending F1 world champion, won last year's Canadian GP for the first time.
Hamilton is the only active driver who has multiple victories in the Canadian GP. Hamilton scored his first career F1 grand prix win and pole victory in this race in 2007. He also won in Canada in 2010 and '12. All three of those wins came when he drove for McLaren.
"I guess there are certain tracks you like more than others and this is one of those circuits I particularly like," Hamilton said. "I really like coming out to Canada, I always have a great response from the fans here."

DeKALB, Ill. -- John Crummy and Jake Romano had two hits apiece and Dan Walsh and Max Andresen both hit solo homers, lifting Miami to a 6-4 win Sunday in the finale of a Mid-American Conference series with Northern Illinois. Seth Varner, making his second start of 2013, struck our five over 6.0 innings of work to earn the win.
Miami manufactured a run in the first after Romano singled with one out and stole second. One out later, Crummy singled to left, making the score 1-0. Walsh led off the second with his first career home run to double the lead.
An throwing error in the fourth led to Miami's third run. Alex Johnson singled on the first pitch. He stole second and gained third when the throw by the catcher was errant. A groundout by Walsh gave the RedHawks a 3-0 lead. Walsh picked up his third RBI of the contest on a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Crummy started the inning with a double to left, then reached third on a wild pitch. After a groundout, Walsh's fly out to center made the lead 4-0.
Miami added an insurance run in the seventh. Honchel drew a two-out walk, then stole second. After Romano singled to put runners on the corners, a double steal attempt produced a run, even though Romano was tagged out in a rundown.
Northern Illinois (18-23, 13-5) got on the scoreboard in the seventh, cutting the deficit to 5-4. A double, walk and single loaded the bases and ended Varner's day. Charles Zubrod came on and struck out the first batter he faced, but then walked two in a row. The rally continued with a two-run single before the second out, then a hit batter reloaded the bases. But Zubrod got a grounder for a fielder's choice that preserved the slimmest of leads.
Miami added a run in the ninth on a one-out homer by Andresen, then turned the ball over to closer Ryan Powers. The sophomore allowed the Huskies to put the tying runs on base with a leadoff single and two-out walk, but got a groundball out for his fifth save.
Varner improved to 1-0 with the win, while Alex Klonowski fell to 4-5 with the loss.
Miami plays its final non-conference games of the year this week when it faces Cincinnati in a home-and-home series. The teams meet at Marge Schott Stadium on Tuesday before returning to McKie Field in Oxford on Wednesday.

Good Morning Everyone. Have all a very happy weekend. Best to all
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am.

Good evening everyone First of all my condolences to RTamara. I'm so sorry for your loss Today I got the evening off after a shift that started 11 and ended 18. ( weird....I know) I'm glad I got a lateshift tomorrow because the time seems to fly these days. It's less than two weeks before I have to be out of the apartment..And I haven't even started packing yet Sotd is Tam Dao.
Good Evening,
So good to have you back in the fold, Jon. Hope you're enjoying some of that vino !
LadyM - do let us know how you got on. I've been meaning to attend one of these events for the longest time.
Did a bit of sniffing earlier in town, including the 4 new Grossmith perfumes. My arms are still covered in heaven knows how many different scents. Anyway, MFK absolue pour le soir tonight.
Best to all.
(((((rtamara))))), I am so very, very sorry. My condolences to you and yours. I'll keep you in my thoughts. The photo of the two of you is just precious.
((inees)) -- it's good to have you back. Good luck with your move. Shaking things up may be just what the doctor ordered. If nothing else, you're in the best comfort scent ever and smell wonderful.
((Jon)), it's so good to have you back.
I started off the day in SL Boxeuses, but I'm craving patchouli today, and so switched to PG Intrigant Patchouli. So soft and comfortable.
I hope everyone has a good day -- hugs to all who need or want them.
Good afternoon! Sampling Lorenzo Villoresi Iperborea. Beautiful, green floral.

Rtamara, so sorry to hear of your loss.

Jon Rodgers - I know I am not worthy of your attention, but I rejoice in seeing you back in good health. I, however, have a bone to pick with you: your beautiful posts are always so gratifying to look at, but your lavender fields video you posted a while back stuck in my subconscious and prompted me to break my no-perfume-until-Christmas rule, with the acquisition of Gris Clair. Thanks!!!
Rtamara - my sincere condolences.
Been sampling Caron's Accord 119 this afternoon, thank you G.! Think I'm starting to get the hang of the Caron vibe. Now, need to change into something fun for the little bender I'm about to have! Have a great night, all!

Editor's note: This article is part of a year-long series commemorating the 100th anniversary of Marine aviation, which began on May 22, 1912, when 1st Lt. Alfred A. Cunningham reported to Annapolis, Md., for flight training.
The Bird/Animal Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) program on Marine Corps Air Station New River is helping save the Marine Corps planes, lives and money.
The Federal Aviation Administration estimates the average cost of a damaging Naval aircraft wildlife strike is more than $300,000. Robbie Withington, a wildlife biologist who oversees the BASH program on New River, said BASH aims to reduce the threat of aircraft striking birds and animals, which saves the Marine Corps plenty of money, especially when one V-22 Osprey is valued at nearly $80 million.
Withington is an employee of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services, which implemented the program on New River five years ago — just before the "Miracle on the Hudson" crash, when a US Airways jetliner crashed into the Hudson River after striking a flock of birds during takeoff.
The Hudson crash brought national attention to the bird strike problem facing both civilian and military aviators. Withington's job on New River is to inform pilots of the hazards in the air, encourage them to report all birds that strike the plane — even if the strike does not cause damage, and to control the habitat and harass the birds in a way that makes them not to want to live on or near New River Air Station.
Withington said the bird that poses the largest threat to aircraft at New River is the ring-billed gull, which roosts on the New River every evening and flies to the Onslow County Landfill to feed during the day. The bird flies back to the river in the evening, meaning its flight pattern crosses almost directly over New River Air Station. Withington said 10 to 12,000 of the gulls fly back and forth every day.
"Our biggest threat is those gulls because it's a daily pattern that they do every day," Withington said, adding that because the air station is surrounded by water on three sides, the gulls are naturally attracted toward the base.
Withington said that the birds will also "stop and hang out the runways" while they're making their way over to the landfill for breakfast. When the birds stop on the flightline, Withington's primary job becomes harassing the birds to the point where they no longer find the flightline a comfortable place to catch some sun.
To do that, Withington will chase the birds, shoot firework-like pyrotechnics at them or unleash his playful chocolate Labrador retriever, which enjoys chasing the birds for sport.
Withington also takes preventative measures to keep the birds away by altering the base's surrounding habitat and managing the types of vegetation planted around the flightline to make sure none of it is enticing to the birds.
"Vegetation management is the first and easiest step we can take to not have birds here," Withington said. "But birds are very adaptable to their changing environments...and there's always going to be something that makes the birds want to come."
While birds are the main wildlife threat to the aircraft on New River, the BASH program also monitors mammals on the ground that have caused fatal aircraft crashes in the past — specifically deer and coyotes. Withington said they apply the same vegetation management techniques to deer and coyote habitats to deter them from coming near the base.
When preventative measures don't work and the birds become unavoidable, the pilots learn various techniques to avoid hitting them while flying. One such technique involves knowing that birds dive down when the plane approaches, so pilots can anticipate the movement and avoid the bird accordingly.
New River spokesman 1st Lt. Rob Martins said that because of the type of aircraft used on New River, the pilots also face the challenge of constantly being in a bird strike threat zone when they fly.
"We're unique here because the major proponent of our inventory are rotor wings," Martins said. "Due to that, the nature of a helicopter or rotor wing is that their flight level is a lot lower than, say, a (Boeing) 737."
Withington said the rotor aircraft at New River typically fly at 3,000 feet or lower, and the birds fly no higher than 4,000 feet.
"The fact that our pilots are always flying in those areas where the birds are — it kind of makes a deadly combination," Withington said.
Last year, New River had around 30 reported air strikes — both minor and damaging strikes. Withington said the numbers have increased over the past few years, but added that's likely because pilots are becoming more aware of the importance of reporting even minor air strikes that do not cause damage.

CHICAGO - Playing in its first outdoor game in program history, the No. 3 Miami University hockey team battled No. 12 Notre Dame until the very end, but came up just short as it fell, 2-1, Sunday afternoon in the OfficeMax Hockey City Classic at Soldier Field in front of 52,051 people.
Trailing 2-0 midway through the third period, the RedHawks made it a one-goal game thanks to freshman forward Kevin Morris, who found the back of the net on a wrist shot off a pass from redshirt senior forward Marc Hagel.
"Hagel made a great pass and (Cody) Murphy distracted the net," Morris said. "It was a play where you just try to get the puck on net and see what happens."
The goal was Morris' sixth of the season. Freshman defenseman Chris Joyaux also tallied an assist on the play.
Miami (19-8-5 overall, 14-6-4-4 Central Collegiate Hockey Association) pulled freshman goaltender Ryan McKay with just more than a minute left in regulation, but couldn't find a way to beat Notre Dame's Steven Summerhays, who totaled 22 saves.
"We turned it on at the end," Morris said. "But when you wait more than half of the game to turn it on against a great Notre Dame team then you're not setting yourself up for success."
The Irish (19-12-1, 15-8-1-1 CCHA) scored first at the 7:18 mark of the second period. Steven Fogarty won a face off in the RedHawks' zone and Bryan Rust found an open Mario Lucia in the slot. Lucia shot a quick, hard wrister past the glove of McKay for the game's first goal.
"They were able to win the faceoff after a little bit of a scrum," McKay said. "They fed the puck over (to the middle) and I committed down early."
Notre Dame took a two-goal lead with 11:27 left in the third period, as Jeff Costello knocked in a rebound off an Anders Lee shot near the far post.
"It was a semi-breakaway," McKay said. "(Costello) had the puck and there was another guy driving wide. They shot the puck on net and it went over to the other guy."
Both teams failed to score on the power play in the contest, as Miami and Notre Dame each finished 0-for-3. The Irish committed five penalties for 21 minutes, while the 'Hawks were whistled five times for 10 minutes. No penalties were called in the third period.
The Irish edged the RedHawks in shots, 28-23, including 12-8 in the second stanza. McKay, who entered Sunday's game ranked first nationally in goals allowed at 0.98 per game, finished with 26 saves while seeing his five-game winning streak snapped.
"Anytime we can put our sport and our product out there on that national stage and in a venue like we were today, I think it's important for our sport," Miami head coach Enrico Blasi said.
Both teams had to deal with a less-than-ideal ice surface, which slowed the game down and created some odd bounces here and there. Ice repairs were made throughout the game, during both intermissions and in the television timeouts. But while the ice created some difficulties, the players thoroughly enjoyed their time in Chicago.
"Playing outside in front of over 50,000 people was a great experience," said senior captain and Vernon Hills (Chicago suburb) native Steven Spinell. "It was definitely great to be a part of this."
McKay added, "It was something I'll remember for a very long time."
Despite the loss, MU still sits in first place in the CCHA, two points ahead of Western Michigan and three in front of Notre Dame with just four regular-season games remaining.
Next up, the RedHawks travel to play a two-game set against Lake Superior State Friday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 23. The first game of the series will be played at 7:35 p.m. while Saturday's game will start at 7:05 p.m. in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Miami then returns home for its final two games of the regular season and in CCHA history, as it hosts Ohio State Friday, March 1 and Saturday, March 2 at Steve Cady Arena.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Miami University golf team shot a final round score of six-over par 290 to finish the Hoosier Invitational in fourth place. The RedHawks finished the tournament at 15-over par overall and were only two shots behind third-place Michigan. Indiana won its home event at two-under par.
Miami placed two golfers among the top 10 individually. Junior Austin Kelly shot a final round 71 to finish at three-under par. He tied for fourth place, only two shots behind the winner, Andrew Fogg of Indiana. Sophomore Scott Cahill had the best round for any RedHawk on Sunday, shooting a career-low three-under par 68. He tied for ninth overall at even par. It was his first collegiate top-10 finish.
Senior Brett Tomfohrde shot a 75 and tied for 32nd at nine-over par. Sophomore Luke Shaughnessy finished in a tie for 41st at 12-over par, while freshman Bud Radis was tied for 53rd at 15-over par.

A Look at the start.jar mechanism
You're probably familiar with the handy start.jar way of running jetty:
Let's take a look at the way start.jar works and how you can customize it (if you need to).
The start.config file
The key to the mechanism is the
start.config file. This file does a number of housekeeping chores such as setting up classpaths and System properties. The default
start.config file is found in
When invoked from the command line as
-jar start.jar, the jvm looks inside the
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file of the jar for the entry:
Main-Class: org.mortbay.start.Main
It then invokes the
main() method of the named class which in this instance is
org.mortbay.start.Main, which in turn parses the
start.config file and invokes the
main() method of the class named therein. It's a little clearer when we look an an #example, but first let's check out the syntax of
Each line contains an entry of the form:
- ending with ".class" is the Main class to run.
- ending with ".xml" is a configuration file for the command line
- ending with "/" is a directory from which to add all jar and zip files.
- ending with "/*" is a directory from which to add all unconsidered jar and zip files.
- ending with "/**" is a directory from which to recursively add all unconsidered jar and zip files.
- containing an "=" are used to assign system properties.
- all other subjects are treated as files to be added to the classpath.
SUBJECTmay include system properties using $(propertyname) syntax.
Files starting with "/" are considered absolute, all others are relative to the home directory.
CONDITION is one of:
- "always" (always true)
- "never" (always false)
- "available" classname (true iff classname is on the classpath)
- property name (true if property is set)
- "java" OPERATOR version (java version compared to literal)
- nargs OPERATOR number (number of command line args compared to literal)
- is one of "<",">","<=",">=","==","!="
CONTITION can be combined with "AND", "OR" or "!", with "AND" being the assumed operator for a list of
Classpath operations are evaluated on the fly, so once a class or jar is added to the classpath, subsequent available conditions will see that class.
Here's an example
start.config file that is, in fact, taken from a recent Jetty distribution.
$(jetty.class.path) always # Try different settings of jetty.home until the jetty.jar is found. jetty.home=. ! exists $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty.jar jetty.home=.. ! exists $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty.jar jetty.home=/home/jetty ! exists $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty.jar jetty.home=/C:/jetty ! exists $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty.jar jetty.home=. ! exists $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty.jar # The main class to run after this org.mortbay.xml.XmlConfiguration.class # The default configuration files if none are specified on the command line $(jetty.home)/etc/jetty.xml nargs == 0 # javax.servlet classes $(jetty.home)/lib/servlet-api-2.5.jar ! available javax.servlet.Servlet # Set the jetty classpath $(jetty.home)/lib/* always # Set the classpath for the supporting cast $(jetty.home)/lib/jsp-2.1/* java >= 1.5 $(jetty.home)/lib/jsp-2.0/* ! available org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet $(jetty.home)/lib/management/* $(jetty.home)/lib/naming/* $(jetty.home)/lib/plus/* $(jetty.home)/lib/xbean/* # Recursively add all jars and zips from the ext lib $(jetty.home)/lib/ext/** always # Try some standard locations for anything missing. /usr/share/java/ant.jar ! available org.apache.tools.ant.Main # Add a resources directory if it is there $(jetty.home)/resources/

Didn't we sign Ayon and trade for Vasquez while still under the NBA's ownership?
11. New Orleans Hornets | Future Power Rating: 659
254 (20th) 127 (11th) 162 (5th) 28 (24th) 88 (3rd)
What a difference a season makes. The Hornets are by far the most improved team in the rankings, elevating from 27th to 11th after two major changes put them in much better position to compete. The first was the sale of the team to Tom Benson, which stopped the NBA from looking over GM Dell Demps' shoulder and allowed him to make some shrewd moves -- such as signing Gustavo Ayon for peanuts and then parlaying him into Ryan Anderson over the summer, or the little-discussed heist of Greivis Vasquez from Memphis.
That lifted the Hornets' management score more than any other team's, but the real cause of the rise in New Orleans' ranking came when they won the lottery and selected center Anthony Davis. We may not be crazy about the rest of the roster, but Davis alone pushed our ranking of the Hornets' roster into the middle of the pack. Throw in Anderson and Eric Gordon, and the makings of a good team are there.
The Hornets' market isn't doing them any favors, but the rest of their positions remain strong. New Orleans will be well under the cap in 2013 after a shrewd deal that sent out the cap-clogging deals of Trevor Ariza and Emeka Okafor, which will allow them to pursue more help for their fledgling cast. And the Hornets are looking good for the draft too, as they'll likely tack on another losing season before the rebuilding begins in earnest in 2013.

Didn't we sign Ayon and trade for Vasquez while still under the NBA's ownership?
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Nice article (I'm assuming it came from). Thanks for posting.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
I'm sure the market will look a lot better to these guys come next offseason. I'm more excited for the team, now, than I ever have been. Put something worth watching on the court and the Gulf South will come out. And after the rebranding.......oh yeah.....
People underestimate us cuz they assume the only people in the south that would care about basketball lives IN New Orleans. Rule of perception I suppose. But it's not their concern.
We'll take care of our bidness same as anyone else.
I disagree with the comment of us being good for the draft and having a losing season. I doubt we will get a top 10 pick.
Hornets market not doing them any favors? 10,000 season tickets sold while the franchise was in a woeful state was just one more swift kick in the nads I guess.
On the home page, it says "Future Contenders?" or something next to this article. I don't have insider, so if anyone does, are we in there?
I'm expecting us to knock out the Clippers in the first round of playoffs
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2
Although the season tickets may see a drop, I think the number of actual tickets bought for individual games and walkups will increase once the people start to see just how exciting of a team this will be to watch.
Almost like the 07 season when half the town didn't even know about the CCC going on until around February. We won't have the talent and chemistry, but the youth and excitement levels will be up there with the best.
