When you live with someone 365 days of a year, you think you know everything about them.
And I'm sure, early in 2013, my oldest daughter told me she was writing down good things that happened to her that year.
But I forgot. Or maybe I figured she forgot. Or most likely, we all got so busy moving through homework assignments and loads of laundry and doctors visits and athletic events, I never thought of it again.
On New Year's Eve, she came into the kitchen with a 4-inch stack of note cards.
"These are all the good things that happened to me this year," she said.
I have never been more amazed by this child.
I would have weighed and measured this year to be a good one, but not one worth of a stack of cards thicker than any book I have ever seen.
But maybe if I paused and recorded each grateful moment, I would feel as rich as she did at the end of the year.
I preach about it all the time in this space, about the importance of counting your blessings.
But I haven't done it. My daughter did.
She celebrated good grades, good workouts and happy family and friend moments. She celebrated her own athletic accomplishments and those of her team members.
The cards were for her; she was embarrassed to share them and didn't want them quoted.
But each card had a date and at least a few words about something she liked about that day.
In January, she celebrated her science fair project, an article in the newspaper about her and a successful first semester.
As the year went on, she wrote about test grades, track practices and upcoming meets.
"Boys and girls won!" she wrote on one card.
On a Saturday in late June she celebrated her sister having fun at a One Direction concert.
By August, she was pleased with the first day of school.
The fall months were of excitement about cross country practices and meets.
In the last days of the year, we took a family trip to Busch Gardens.
"Busch Gardens was awesome! I freakin love roller coasters" read the Dec. 29 card.
But there were still two days left and in her world, something left to celebrate.
Her last entry of the year was Dec. 31, 2013, written right before she showed her family the stack of cards.
"Super happy I wrote down every good thing of 2013," she wrote. "It was an amazing year."
Yes, it was.

C.S. Lewis' Christian fantasy series for children comprising of seven novels published between 1950 and 1956.< read all 23 reviews
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
The Chronicles of Narnia were written by Lewis between 1949 and 1954 but were written in neither the order they were originally published nor in the chronological order in which they are currently presented. The original illustrator was Pauline Baynes and her pen and ink drawings are still used in publication today. There are seven books that make up The Chronicles of Narnia.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, completed in the winter of 1949 and published in 1950, tells the story of four ordinary children: Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie. They discover a wardrobe in Professor Digory Kirke's house that leads to the magical land of Narnia. The Pevensie children help Aslan, a talking lion, save Narnia from the evil White Witch, who has reigned over the kingdom of Narnia for a century of perpetual winter. The children become kings and queens of this new-found land and leave a legacy to be rediscovered in later books.
Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (1951)
Completed in the autumn of 1949 and published in 1951, Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia tells the story of the Pevensie children's second trip to Narnia. They are drawn back by the power of Susan's horn, blown by Prince Caspian to summon help in his hour of need. Narnia as they knew it is no more. Their castle is in ruins and all the dryads have retreated so far within themselves that only Aslan's magic can wake them. Caspian has fled into the ...

LG GW520 mobile phone
Having been impressed with what the LG KS360 had on offer, we were keen to get our hands on the new GW520, promised at Mobile World Congress earlier in the year.
The HSDPA-packing QWERTY slider brings a little more oomph to the data party. With a touch-enabled 2.8-inch touch display, it is pitched at social networkers and textaholics, and comes with the Live Square found on the KS360.
We'll be bringing you a full review of the new handset shortly, but until then, feast your eyes on this 'ere gallery.

On October 23, the world-famous Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles presented its "Tribute to Corvette Racing," a gala honoring the legends of Corvette motorsports. The event promised the largest assemblage of Corvette racers in the history of the sport, including Bob Bondurant, Tony DeLorenzo, Bob D'Olivo, John Fitch, Joe Freitas, Lou Gigliotti, Dick Guldstrand, Doug Hooper, Gib Hufstader, Jim Jeffords, Davey Jordan, Bill Krause, Scooter Patrick, Bill Pollack, Andy Porterfield, and Paul Reinhart.
Paired with the tribute was an exhibit of historically significant Corvette race cars from the '50s through the '80s, including many Vettes personally engineered by Zora Arkus-Duntov and those driven by Jerry Earl (son of GM Director of Styling Harley Earl), Mickey Thompson, Dr. Dick Thompson, Briggs Cunningham, Orlando Costanzo, Darin Brassfield, Delmo Johnson, Bob Bondurant, and more. According to Chris Brown, the museum's information and marketing manager, "The event featured about $25 million in Corvettes."
The once-in-a-lifetime soiree began with a roundtable of Corvette racers moderated by Road & Track contributing editor Tim Considine. After hearing many great tales from the early days of Corvette motorsports, it was time for the evening's main event: a banquet. Racers, guests, and fans bid on autographed Corvette Racing items, enjoyed vintage race films, and listened to more firsthand accounts of the car's earliest days on tracks around the world. Finally, a preview of the '09 race season was presented by Corvette Racing Program Director Doug Fehan.
Follow along as we take a closer look at these legendary cars and the men who drove them.
Special thanks to Tim Considine, for his invaluable information about these Corvette racers.
Jim Jeffords was the driver of the famous Nickey Chevrolet "Purple People Eater" Corvettes. He won 29 class victories and consecutive SCCA national championships in 1958 and 1959.
Andy Porterfield was a Chevy salesman who began racing Corvettes in 1957. In 1958, he was crowned Pacific Coast Over 1,500cc champion. Remarkably, he still drives competitively and has won more than 400 races in his career.
Paul Reinhart began racing Corvettes in Northern California in the late '50s. In 1962, he was crowned Pacific Coast B-Production champion. He restored, and continues to vintage-race, his Union Oil 76 '57 Corvette.
Doug Hooper's most famous victory was in October of 1962, at Riverside, when he saved the day for GM at the wheel of Mickey Thompson's new Z06 Sting Ray. Hooper insisted on a taller rearend ratio to help the experimental engine live through the three-hour race. One by one, the other three Sting Rays-driven by Dave McDonald, Bob Bondurant, and Jerry Grant-faltered, and Hooper came home the winner. Often at the front of the field in the early '60s, he remained in the Corvette family by building cars for other racers.

Can you hear me now? Identity, Communication, and Creation
Significant works of historical and literary scholarship, original scientific investigation, extended creative projects—senior theses at Bard College at Simon's Rock make for absorbing, if not light reading. All BA students at the College complete a senior thesis, a major independent project that is the focus of students' senior year. Conceived, organized, and carried out by each student with appropriate support from a faculty advisor, the thesis is the capstone of the student's liberal arts and sciences education.
Continuing a celebrated tradition, provost and vice president Mary B. Marcy offered remarks and impressions of each of the nearly 50 theses completed during the 2009–2010 academic year to an audience of graduates, staff, and faculty in May. As she does most years, Marcy crafted categories by which to distinctly organize collections of theses. This year, the theses were presented under the tent of six categories: "Building a Different World: Allegories, Folk Tales, and Design;" [hyperlink to archive] "Can You Hear Me Now: Identity, Communication, and Creation;" "Play or State of the Play;" "Little Things and Big Things;" "An Alternative Gag to Simon's Rock;" and "Culture Clash, Where the West Begins." Over the next six months, the Newsroom will feature theses as presented by provost Marcy within their assigned categories. This month, theses featured are collected under "Can You Hear Me Now: Identity, Communication, and Creation."

Free Skin Cancer Screening Clinic May 22 At Utah Valley Regional
More than one million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States every year, and the incidence of melanoma has been steadily increasing for the past 30 years — which is why Intermountain Healthcare's Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo is holding a free skin cancer screening clinic in May.
Saturday, May 22
9 a.m. to noon
Huntsman-Intermountain Cancer Center at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center,
1034 North 300 West
Call 801.357.7575
"The free skin cancer screening clinic will help us prevent skin cancer," says Warren Eyre, MD, a dermatologist in Orem. "One of the keys to successful treatment of melanoma and other skin cancers is early detection. If you feel like you have a spot that needs to be looked at, it's very important that you get screened."
The warning signs of skin cancer and melanoma, which is its most dangerous form, typically include a change in size, shape, or color of a mole, spot, or other skin growth, including changes in the elevation of a mole that used to be flat. Other symptoms include changes in the surface of a mole or surrounding skin (scaling, crusting, redness, swelling, etc.) and uncomfortable sensations including itching or burning.
The free skin cancer screening clinic is being sponsored in conjunction with the American Academy of Dermatology's Melanoma/Skin Cancer Screening Program during May, which is Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month.
The purpose of the free skin cancer screening is to increase understanding of the importance of sun protection and early skin cancer detection, and most importantly, to save lives by finding melanomas in their earliest, most treatable stage.

Auburn Hills, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - The Detroit Pistons introduced guard Jodie Meeks, one of the team's free-agent additions this offseason, during a press conference held Monday at the team's facility.
Meeks, who averaged a career-best 15.7 points in 77 games for the Los Angeles Lakers last season, agreed to a multi-year deal that previous reports stated to be for three years and worth $19 million, prior to the official start of the NBA's signing period.
The five-year veteran emerged as one of the league's top outside shooters in 2013-14, making good on 162-of-404 tries (40.1 percent) from 3-point range and hitting on 46.3 percent of his overall attempts from the field. Meeks' season was highlighted by a 42-point effort in a Lakers' win over Oklahoma City on March 9.
"We're pleased to welcome Jodie Meeks to the Pistons organization," said Pistons general manager Jeff Bower. "Jodie's approach to the game fits the style of basketball we want to play and his ability to shoot the ball from the outside is a skill that will help our team moving forward."
New Detroit head coach and president of basketball operations Stan Van Gundy has made finding perimeter players a priority this offseason, with the Pistons also reportedly reaching deals with veteran small forward Caron Butler and point guard D.J. Augustin that have yet to be formally announced.
The Pistons shot just 32.1 percent from beyond the arc during last year's 29-53 campaign, with only Philadelphia having a lower success rate.

As powerful and efficient as the Corvette's 6.2L LS3 engine is, there's always room for improvement. This unrealized potential is perhaps most evident in the cam timing, which is relatively mild (0.551/0.524-inch lift, 204/211-degree duration, 117-degree lobe-separation angle) given the cylinder heads' enormous flow potential. We decided to see how much extra power could be unleashed by installing a rowdy high-performance replacement stick from Texas Speed & Performance (0.641/0.615-inch lift, 231/236-degree duration, 111-degree LSA). Because of its aggressive nature, this cam is recommended for manual-trans vehicles or automatics with a 2,500-rpm-stall torque converter. (It's also available with a slightly wider lobe separation for improved idle quality.)
Running a cam change in an LS3 is a no-brainer, but for us it simply wasn't enough. Just as we did a few years back with an LS2, we decided that the LS3 deserved a set of basic performance modifications to illustrate what is possible with the right combination of parts. To that end, we sourced an LS3 crate motor from GM Performance Parts and subjected it to the usual array of upgrades. In addition to the aforementioned cam, we bolted up a set of ported L92 heads from the flow wizards over at Total Engine Airflow (TEA). According to the company, the CNC porting procedure took the already impressive L92 heads from 315 cfm at 0.700 lift (327 cfm at 0.600) to an even more impressive 371 cfm.
In addition to the porting, the TEA heads featured a 2.165/1.590 valve package. Naturally, they were treated to a multi-angle competition valve job and a "Platinum" valvespring package capable of supporting our 0.641-lift cam all the way up to 7,000 rpm without fear of valve float. To further improve rpm capability, the heads also featured titanium retainers and hollow-stem LS3 intake valves.
Before we could begin, our GMPP LS3 crate motor needed to have a few items replaced to prepare it for dyno use. The throttle body was supplanted by a manual unit from FAST, the exhaust manifolds were ditched in favor of a set of 1 3/4-inch long-tube headers, and, since we weren't running any accessories, the water pump was pulled in favor of a Meziere electric unit. Once we had the crankcase full of Lucas oil (conventional for the break-in procedure), the LS3 crate motor was up and running in no time. After the break-in procedure, the motor was run in stock trim with the headers, the electric water pump, and a set of E3 spark plugs. So equipped, the GMPP LS3 produced 485 hp at 5,900 rpm and 476 lb-ft of torque at 4,600 rpm. Torque production from the 6.2L exceeded 450 lb-ft from 4,100 rpm to 5,600 rpm.
After establishing a baseline, we tore into the crate motor to make way for the new cam and heads. The head swap required the removal of the factory coil packs, valve covers, and rockers, while the damper, front cover, and timing chain were all that stood in the way of accessing the cam. Because we were using ported factory heads, there was no need to change pushrod length. The L92 heads supplied by TEA also offered stock valve stem and spring-installed heights, so all we had to do was bolt down the factory rockers. Since the factory head bolts are not reusable, the new heads were secured using ARP studs and Fel Pro gaskets.
Replacing the factory LS3 cam with the custom Comp grind from Texas Speed also required replacing the timing (cam) gear. The factory LS3 cam is run with an upper cam gear retained by a single bolt. By contrast, most aftermarket cams come with the more common three-bolt core and, as such, require a new cam sprocket designed to work with both the front-mounted LS3 cam sensor and the three-bolt cam. This sprocket is available from Texas Speed or directly from GM (PN 12586481) for less than $30.
After the head and cam swaps, everything was buttoned back up, and the motor was once again ready to run. With the TEA heads and Texas Speed cam upgrade, the LS3 really came alive. These performance upgrades increased the output of the LS3 to 574 hp at 6,300 rpm and 520 lb-ft of torque at 5,300 rpm. The engine pulled cleanly all the way to 7,000 rpm, where it was still producing 550 hp. Torque production from the 6.2L now exceeded 500 lb-ft from 4,300 rpm to 5,800 rpm, making for one sweet torque curve.
The stock LS3 is already near the top of the current crop of performance V-8s. That you can add nearly 100 hp to this already impressive package with a simple head-and-cam swap is remarkable, a true testament to the Power of 3.

Sáng nay, chúng ta chào mừng một cột mốc lịch sử đối với quan hệ song phương giữa hai nước.
This morning we celebrate a historic milestone for our bilateral relationship. Today's ceremony marks the start of a project between Vietnam's Ministry of National Defense and the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID, to clean up dioxin contaminated soil and sediment at the airport left from the Vietnam War. Over the next few years, workers will dig up the contaminated soil and sediment and place it in a stockpile, where it will be treated using thermal desorption technology. This process uses high temperatures to break down the dioxin in the contaminated soil and make it safe by Vietnamese and U.S. standards for the many men, women, and children who live and work in this area.
The United States is gravely concerned by the multiple crises that are affecting the people of Mali: a political crisis following the military coup d'état of March 21, a security crisis as a result of conflict in the North and the actions of several armed groups, a food security crisis affecting populations across the country, all resulting in a complex humanitarian crisis that is affecting the people of Mali as well as its neighbors in the Sahel. 4.6 million Malians face severe hunger; 175,000 Malian children are at risk of severe acute malnutrition; and more than 450,000 have fled their homes because of ongoing violence coupled with food insecurity.
Many of us in this room and thousands of other across the globe have and continue to spend tremendous energy on improving our effectiveness in development. We choose smarter things to do, focusing on key competencies and appropriate roles. We measure relentlessly, inviting cold hard facts to challenge our warm, fuzzy assumptions. We have become hard-nosed in pursuit of our soft goals, and, when doing so, we have often invoked the ideal of 'How They Do It In The Private Sector.' ... Perhaps we need to explore how we could use an open source development model to connect our work to all people. Perhaps to genuinely win the war against extreme poverty, leverage social networks to deliver real democracy, and ensure every kid everywhere lives to see their fifth birthday and thrives in school in the years ahead, we need to both elevate development in the Situation Room of the National Security Council and in the hearts and minds of how millions of additional people express their own personal quest for meaning.
It is an incredible honor to be here and to be here with so many members of Diaspora communities from around this country and around the world. I'm one of you, and so, I'm pleased to be able to join. In fact, joining you last year and hearing about the businesses you've started, the volunteer programs you've supported, the innovations you've generated and the resources and inspiration that you've offered to your original home communities was one of my more personal and inspiring moments of the year. So, thank you for allowing me to participate.
Today, more than 62 million Americans, a full fifth of this nation are first or second generation Diaspora community members. That undoubtedly is what makes our country great. We all collectively represent a vast and diverse community, and we do so much both here and with our home communities and the countries from which we came that we're excited to now have the opportunity to partner more deeply together to improve on the results we can accomplish when we do work together.
At USAID, we understand that our development assistance will never be fully effective unless we draw on the full contributions of the entire population, including previously marginalized groups such as the LGBT community, women, young people, ethnic and religious minorities, people with disabilities, and displaced persons.
Ten years ago, I took part in the first Tokyo conference on Afghanistan on behalf of the United States Government. In many ways, I have a strong sense of deja vu. In January 2002, in the wake of the fall of the Taliban, the world came together to pledge our mutual commitment to support the stability and reconstruction of a fragile and devastated Afghanistan. Working together as a community in support of the Afghan people and government, we have kept faith over the past decade. This fact is reflected in a 15 year increase in life expectancy for the Afghan people; the presence of some seven million students – of which nearly 40 percent are girls -- in schools; a huge decline in infant and maternal mortality; and a three-fold increase in per capita income.
We come together at a moment of great hope and equal challenge with respect to the refugee situation in Afghanistan. We celebrate the return of nearly six million people to Afghanistan from neighboring countries, a clear reflection of the progress we have collectively achieved in rebuilding and stabilizing the country. People are voting for a better life for themselves and their families. Indeed, this is an expression of confidence in the future, one that the United States government has been able to support with more than $700 million in assistance for refugees and returnees over the past decade.
In Tokyo, the international community and the Afghans will come together to discuss the best way to solidify the progress we've made in the past decade. The timing of this conference is significant because it some so quickly on the heels of the G8 in Chicago that focused on the 2014 transition. As we all know, there are really two transitions in 2014 - the transfer of security operations to the Afghans, and also the first democratic transfer of power in the history of Afghanistan.
Dignity and freedom were the banners of the peaceful revolutionaries. They came carrying dignity, and another banner as well, their humanity. They were searching for the humanity inside them; they lost their humanity because of oppression, corruption and injustice. They came sacrificing their lives, their money, their property, and their children – carrying dignity and humanity. The dignity they were asking for was not in vain. This is something God has granted them.
All religions in the world talk about the dignity of the human being. Islam talks about dignity for humans; this is a part of the Quran. Also, the same thing is in the Holy Bible. This dignity comes from humans as a means for rights. This dignity is a regional value that is carried by all human beings, despite their backgrounds or their beliefs. The youths of the Arab Spring and the women raise a banner of dignity, freedom and justice. Free people of the world – let us work for the dignity of all people.
And in the forefront of the Arab Spring, let us support dignity there; let us support dignity in your own countries. You may be surprised why I say your country instead of our country – because i always believed that humanity, that all of the people of the world are one nation. All of humanity is one nation, and all of the people are brothers.

The inspiration for the project Without Destination is the ever-increasing flow of domestic and international tourists through Iceland. Numerous contemporary artists and scholars have studied the complex relationship between humans and the environment in this context, and their research sheds light on the many factors that contribute to the tourist's experience. Without Destination offers audiences the opportunity to explore these ideas both through an exhibition where wanderlust, destination and the concept of place play a leading part and through a conference dedicated to nature-based tourism, held on the weekend of 5–6 February.
Without Destination was conceived by Markús Þór Andrésson, curator, and Gunnþóra Ólafsdóttir, geographer, and carried out in cooperation with the Reykjavik Art Museum, the Reykjavik Academy, and the Association of Icelandic Geographers. The project was made possible by support from the Nordic Culture Fund, the Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture, Energy and Tourism, City of Reykjavík - Department of Culture and Tourism, Visit Reykjavik, Promote Iceland, Icelandic Tourist Board, The Society of the Reykjavik Academy, The Embassy of the United States of America, Iaspis - the Swedish Arts Grants Committee's International Programme for Visual Artists, Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany Reykjavik, Dynamo Reykjavik, Melabúðin, Esja Travel and Hotel Holt.

Life Is to Whistle tells the stories of three end-of-the millennium Cubans, whose lives intersect on the Day of Santa Barbara (the African Saint Chango, ruler of destinies). Mariana, a ballerina, ponders breaking chastity vows she made to land the coveted role of Giselle; Julia has fainting spells each time she hears the word "sex," and Elpidio, a musician, seduces a gringa tourist while Bebe, the narrator, takes us for a taxi ride along the streets of Havana. In Life Is to Whistle, Fernando Perez displays the same cinematographic lyricism that won his first film, Madagascar, the Special Recognition in Latin American Cinema award at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival. Set to the music of Bola de Nieve and Benny More, the film dazzles us with a uniquely Cuban blend of absurdist humor and mystical realism. Perez, who began his film career as assistant director to Tomas Gutierrez Alea and Santiago Alvarez, stands apart from his Cuban counterparts for his ability to portray human dilemmas in quirky, unpredictable ways. Perez gives the jaded lives of his characters a new significance through his whimsical, exuberant vision.

Kevin Stott to officiate the LA Galaxy's Western Conference Semifinal first leg against Real Salt Lake
CARSON, Calif. – Veteran referee Kevin Stott will serve as the head official for the LA Galaxy's Western Conference Semifinal first leg against Real Salt Lake at StubHub Center on Sunday.
Stott officiated just two games for the Galaxy this season when LA opened the season with a 4-0 victory over the Chicago Fire—calling 27 fouls and awarding a single yellow card to Todd Dunivant in the 75th minute–and LA's 3-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes, in which he called 15 fouls and awarded a penalty to Gyasi Zardes that was converted by Robbie Keane.
Meanwhile, Stott served as head official for just a single match for RSL during the 2013 regular season: their scoreless draw with the Portland Timbers at JELD-WEN Field. Stott called 29 fouls and gave two yellow cards, one of which was to RSL midfielder Yordany Álvarez.
A couple of interesting notes about Stott: He was the referee for LA's 2009 MLS Cup penalty kick defeat to Real Salt Lake back in Seattle and he also officiated LA's dramatic 3-1 Western Conference Semifinals second leg victory against San Jose Earthquakes in 2012.
The complete crew is below.

SEATTLE –Avoiding the Knockout Round was a major objective for the LA Galaxy during the final stretch of the regular season and with that goal accomplished, they plan on taking advantage of the six days to prepare for the first leg of their Western Conference Semifinal against Real Salt Lake on Sunday.
The rest is sorely needed with Landon Donovan (left ankle inflammation), Omar Gonzalez (left hip strain), and Todd Dunivant (right MCL sprain) dealing with injuries while others like A.J. DeLaGarza, Pablo Mastroeni, and Robbie Rogers are still seeking to regain full match sharpness.
"This is huge. Because the effort we put out tonight, it would have been hard to go again on Wednesday," Gonzalez said. "So to get this draw and put us in for a game on the weekend is huge. I know some guys need some treatment, including myself, so we're going to take this week to put in a good effort in practice, get the bodies ready and concentrate toward Salt Lake."
Following the match, Donovan admitted the team will "happily take a week of rest" ahead of a match against a Real Salt Lake that should provide a major test for the Galaxy.
"The beauty with playing them is that both teams try to play and attack, so it should make for a very exciting series," said Donovan "A lot of times in the playoffs, you'll see teams sort of bunker in and be safe, but we know when they come to LA, they like to pllay. It's a big field, they'll try to play, and we always try to play at home. And when we go there [for the second leg], it will be the same.
"It should be an exciting series, and it's going to come down to who makes the most plays."
It's that time of the year, the LA Galaxy have entered the MLS Cup Playoffs looking to defend their title for a third consecutive year.
LA's postseason will begin with a two-leg, aggregate series against Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference Semifinals. With LA set to kick off the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs on Sunday, I ask the question: just how confident are you about LA's chance to win their third straight MLS Cup?
Vote and leave your comments below...
SEATTLE – Thanks to Robbie Keane's tying goal in the 78th minute, the LA Galaxy's tempers were soothed after Omar Gonzalez's apparent goal in the 42nd minute went uncalled by referee Mark Geiger and assistant referee Greg Barkey.
Following the match, the Galaxy players addressed the non-call that almost sent the team into the Knockout Round.
OMAR GONZALEZ: "The video shows it all. After I scored the goal, I looked at the linesman and he's in terrible position and inside the end line when I think that he should be on the end line to make sure that the goal went in. It was clearly a yard-and-a-half in. It's a bit disappointing that I didn't get the goal, but the fact that we kept on playing well, and playing well, and got over it as quick as possible, shows a lot of character from us. The fact that we were able to come out in the second half and play how we did was huge for us."
ROBBIE KEANE: "I mean, it was so obvious, wasn't it? I was standing right there. That's why I went a bit crazy at the referee, because I was right beside [the play] and I knew the ball was over the line. When something like that happens, it's very frustrating because you're hoping that the linesman can help you out. I don't know whether [Barkey] was in line or not, I'm not too sure, but if he wasn't, it's a big problem. I hope that he wasn't because that's an excuse. It was definitely a goal."
LANDON DONOVAN: "I saw it very clearly. I saw it as clearly as the linesman, so for me it was a no-brainer. I was looking right across, waiting for him to put his flag up and signal goal, but for whatever reason he didn't. I would suggest that goal-line technology would help, but that one didn't even need goal-line technology. It was real obvious. It's unfortunate. We've had a little hard luck with some linesmen this year, but hopefully it gets better in the playoffs."
ROBBIE ROGERS: "It was a goal. I watched the replay and it was a bit ridiculous. It was such an important game too and it was in the 42nd minute, which is a very important part of the game. I don't mean to be too harsh, but it was a really bad call."
SEATTLE – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena's postgame comments following LA's 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders FC.
The comments are below...
(On the game…)
ARENA: "Competitive game. Pretty even game. It was a good result for us."
(On the missed call on the apparent goal…)
ARENA: "Obviously I don't see it from where I am, but I was told it was about a yard over the line. For some reason, I think we should be able to see that one. We're fortunate to get out of it, not using that as a major sticking point in the game."
(On Robbie Keane's goal…)
ARENA: "It was a big goal. The second half, we played better. The game slowed down a little bit and we got a little more comfortable on the surface. We're pleased with the point."
(On the team's defense…)
ARENA: "They played well tonight. I thought it was Omar's [Gonzalez] best game in a while. Kofi Opare has been really solid for us. He's a good young player. We play two first-year players with Kofi and [Greg] Cochrane so I'm real pleased with those young players. And Gyasi [Zardes] as well, so we got incredible experience tonight for our young kids. I think down the stretch, our veteran players made a difference for us."
(On the tough defending at the end…)
ARENA: "It was a good game in preparation for the playoffs for us. We're pleased with that."
(On Robbie Rogers…)
ARENA: "I thought Robbie held up really well physically. We have to get him a little more comfortable in the attack, but I thought his game was fairly balanced. He certainly did a good job defensively. If we can get a little more out of him in the attack, it will be a positive."
(On facing Salt Lake…)
ARENA: "I don't remember the last time we've seen them. We had a good series with them this year. They're a very talented team. We look forward to the game. It will be a good series."
(On Robbie Keane's play…)
ARENA: "He had a solid game and when he gets that goal, you have to say he had a very good game. Goals are rare in this sport and Robbie seems to get them at the right time. Overall, I thought the last 10 or 15 minutes of the game, he was very influential for us in terms of leadership. He and Landon [Donovan] really stepped up and got the players organized and confident so we could walk off the field with a point."
(On being undefeated in the black kits…)
ARENA: "I mean whatever. I'm not quite sure it's the uniforms. You put 11 bad players in that kit and I don't think you're going to win too many games."
(On how this game propels them into the playoffs…)
ARENA: "We'll only know once we're done with the season. We've had a good run since August. We've done a good job and we'll hopefully be healthy by the weekend when we play. We'll be in a good position to be competitive and hopefully win the first series."
(On how the team is physically…)
ARENA: "We had a few scrapes [tonight], but for the most part I think we held up OK."
The LA Galaxy are heading to the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs as the third seed in the Western Conference after their 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday.
The draw earns the Galaxy a series against Real Salt Lake, who the Galaxy are 1-0-1 against RSL in postseason games, with the lone draw being LA's penalty kick defeat to Salt Lake in the 2009 MLS Cup. This season, the Galaxy are 2-1-0 against Salt Lake with LA outscoring the two seed by a seven to five margin.
The first match will be on November 3 at StubHub Center with the return leg being days later at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Thoughts on facing RSL?
SEATTLE - The LA Galaxy appeared to have equalized in the 40th minute of the LA Galaxy's match against the Seattle Sounders, when Omar Gonzalez's header appeared to cross the line, but it was not allowed by referee Mark Geiger or assistant referee Greg Barkey.
The video can be seen below. Thoughts and comments should be directed to the comment section.
Robbie Keane has become the unquestioned leader of the LA Galaxy on and off the field this seaon and his influence has been profiled in a piece by Los Angeles Times reporter Kevin Baxter.
The profile can be read here on LATimes.com. In 22 matches this season, Keane has tallied 15 goals and 11 assists this season with the Galaxy earning a 12-3-7 record with Keane on the field as opposed to a 3-8-0 record when he's not available. When asked by Baxter about his success, the Irishman stated that it is due to his immense passion to continue to improve even at the age of 33.
"You should always have … that fire in your belly. That you always want to achieve, always want to get better," Keane told the Los Angeles Times. "Because as soon as you take your foot off the pedal, well that's when you start going down."
During the piece, both Landon Donovan and Keane expound on their connection that has seen them net a combined 21 goals and 16 assists in their 15 games together. During his conversation with Baxter, Donovan stated that Keane's own flair allows him to be "more creative on the field" but as for where that connection was first discovered?
"We met on Match.com," Donovan quipped to the L.A. Times.
Is Keane the MLS MVP? Is Keane the LA Galaxy's team MVP this season?

GAINESVILLE — For the second straight home game against Kentucky, Florida junior fullback Trey Burton was the biggest story. But Saturday's news wasn't good for the Gators.
After scoring a school-record six touchdowns against the Wildcats as a true freshman in 2010, there was no encore for Burton this year as back spasms forced him to miss the matchup.
UF coach Will Muschamp said the spasms started early Friday and the medical staff worked with Burton all day and into Saturday morning to no avail.
"We did everything we could do," Muschamp said. "Every time he'd plant on his right foot, he had pain shooting up his right hip."
Although Burton appeared in all 13 games in 2011, Muschamp said he had some back spasms during the season and almost sat out one game.
This week's episode, however, was unexpected and a concern for both offensive coordinator Brent Pease and special teams coordinator D.J. Durkin.
"It doesn't just affect the offense," Muschamp said. "I walked down to Durkin's office to tell him and he's hiding under the desk. He does so much for us in special teams. It's tough when you lose a guy that you rely on so much for the calls he makes on the field in punt and punt return and all the different things he does for your football team."
Muschamp said Burton was not present at the game because he was getting treatment. He expects Burton to return for the LSU game on Oct. 6.
Dunbar plays with heavy heart: On Saturday morning, redshirt sophomore receiver Quinton Dunbar posted on Twitter that he wasn't able to attend his grandfather's funeral because of the Kentucky game.
"RIP to my grandpa who's being laid to rest today," Dunbar tweeted. "Sorry I couldn't be there love ya fam!!!"
Dunbar caught his first touchdown of the season and finished with three receptions for 36 yards. He wasn't made available for comment after the game, but his close friend and fellow receiver Frankie Hammond Jr. said the score meant a lot to Dunbar.
"Definitely," Hammond said. "And I was happy as I could be for Quinton to get that touchdown."
Freshmen continue to contribute: Four true freshmen started for the Gators on Saturday and two others contributed significantly in Florida's 38-0 victory over Kentucky. Running back Matt Jones, receiver Raphael Andrades, defensive end Jonathan Bullard and linebacker Antonio Morrison all received starts, while left tackle D.J. Humphries and Buck linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. saw action throughout the game.
"Those guys played well and they practiced well and they've prepared themselves well," Muschamp said. "I don't care what year they are. We're gonna play the best guys. We're gonna play guys that I know when I go to bed, I've got complete confidence they're gonna play hard for Florida. And those guys will do that and they're talented."
Bye week schedule: Before the Gators turn their attention to the matchup with LSU on Oct. 6, Muschamp said his players have to work on themselves first.
"I got a list of things on Tuesday and Wednesday we're gonna work on," Muschamp said. "And we're working on Florida. Things that we need to improve on and get better at. We're gonna let our young guys scrimmage Tuesday night that haven't been playing as much and get those guys turns and reps and continue to develop our young team."
UF will begin focusing on the No. 2 Tigers afterward.
"We're gonna start on LSU on Thursday," Muschamp said. "We'll have a team lift Friday, and Saturday off. Then we'll get back Sunday night for some meetings and walkthroughs and kind of get back into being a day ahead for LSU, working into Monday through Thursday."
Injury update: Redshirt junior tight end Jordan Reed and junior defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd both sustained shoulder injuries Saturday, but they aren't serious, Muschamp said.
"(Floyd) had a little bit of a stinger on his shoulder. We looked at it and we think everything should be fine as far as that's concerned.
"J. Reed got dinged up on his shoulder there on a pass down the middle right before half. Came out third quarter and tried to go and just didn't feel like he could get his hand up and get the range of motion."
Etc.: Muschamp said redshirt junior receiver Andre Debose didn't play in the first half because "he needs to practice better." … Kentucky defensive tackle Collins Ukwu was credited with a block on Caleb Sturgis' 39-yard field-goal attempt.

Allergy is a disorder of the immune system often also referred to as atopy. Allergic reactions occur to environmental substances known as allergens; these reactions are acquired, predictable and rapid. Strictly, allergy is one of four forms of hypersensitivity and is called type I (or immediate) hypersensitivity. It is characterized by excessive activation of certain white blood cells called mast cells and basophils by a type of antibody known as IgE, resulting in an extreme inflammatory response. Common allergic reactions include eczema, hives, hay fever, asthma, food allergies, and reactions to the venom of stinging insects such as wasps and bees.
Mild allergies like hay fever are highly prevalent in the human population and cause symptoms such as allergic conjunctivitis, itchiness, and runny nose. Allergies can play a major role in conditions such as asthma. In some people, severe allergies to environmental or dietary allergens or to medication may result in life-threatening anaphylactic reactions and potentially death.
A variety of tests now exist to diagnose allergic conditions; these include testing the skin for responses to known allergens or analyzing the blood for the presence and levels of allergen-specific IgE. Treatments for allergies include allergen avoidance, use of anti-histamines, steroids or other oral medications, immunotherapy to desensitize the response to allergen, and targeted therapy.
A major breakthrough in understanding the mechanisms of allergy was the discovery of the antibody class labeled immunoglobulin E (IgE) - Kimishige Ishizaka and co-workers were the first to isolate and describe IgE in the 1960s.
|Affected organ
|swelling of the nasal mucosa (allergic rhinitis)
|allergic sinusitis
|redness and itching of the conjunctiva (allergic conjunctivitis)
|Sneezing, coughing, bronchoconstriction, wheezing and dyspnea, sometimes outright attacks of asthma, in severe cases the airway constricts due to swelling known as angioedema
|feeling of fullness, possibly pain, and impaired hearing due to the lack of eustachian tube drainage.
|rashes, such as eczema and hives (urticaria)
|Gastrointestinal tract
|abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting, Diarrhea
Many allergens, such as dust or pollen, are airborne particles. In these cases, symptoms arise in areas in contact with air, such as eyes, nose and lungs. For instance, allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, causes irritation of the nose, sneezing, and itching and redness of the eyes. Inhaled allergens can also lead to asthmatic symptoms, caused by narrowing of the airways (bronchoconstriction) and increased production of mucus in the lungs, shortness of breath (dyspnea), coughing and wheezing.
Aside from these ambient allergens, allergic reactions can result from foods, insect stings, and reactions to medications like aspirin and antibiotics such as penicillin. Symptoms of food allergy include abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting, diarrhea, itchy skin, and swelling of the skin during hives. Food allergies rarely cause respiratory (asthmatic) reactions, or rhinitis. Insect stings, antibiotics, and certain medicines produce a systemic allergic response that is also called anaphylaxis; multiple organ systems can be affected, including the digestive system, the respiratory system, and the circulatory system. Depending of the rate of severity, it can cause cutaneous reactions, bronchoconstriction, edema, hypotension, coma, and even death. This type of reaction can be triggered suddenly, or the onset can be delayed. The severity of this type of allergic response often requires injections of epinephrine, sometimes through a device known as the Epi-Pen auto-injector. The nature of anaphylaxis is such that the reaction can seem to be subsiding, but may recur throughout a prolonged period of time.
Substances that come into contact with the skin, such as latex, are also common causes of allergic reactions, known as contact dermatitis or eczema. Skin allergies frequently cause rashes, or swelling and inflammation within the skin, in what is known as a "wheal and flare" reaction characteristic of hives and angioedema.
The risk of allergic sensitization and the development of allergies varies with age, with young children most at risk. Several studies have shown that IgE levels are highest in childhood and fall rapidly between the ages of 10 and 30 years. The peak prevalence of hay fever is highest in children and young adults and the incidence of asthma is highest in children under 10. Overall, boys have a higher risk of developing allergy than girls, although for some diseases, namely asthma in young adults, females are more likely to be affected. Sex differences tend to decrease in adulthood. Ethnicity may play a role in some allergies, however racial factors have been difficult to separate from environmental influences and changes due to migration. Interestingly, it has been suggested that different genetic loci are responsible for asthma, specifically, in people of Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, and African origins.
Exposure to allergens, especially in early life, is an important risk factor for allergy. Alterations in exposure to microorganisms is the most plausible explanation, at present, for the increase in atopic allergy. Since children that live in large families or overcrowded households, or attend day care, have a reduced incidence of allergic disease, a relationship has been proposed between exposures to bacteria and viruses during childhood, and protection against the development of allergy, which has been called – the "hygiene hypothesis". Exposure to endotoxin and other components of bacteria may reduce atopic diseases. Endotoxin exposure reduces release of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IFNγ, interleukin-10, and interleukin-12 from white blood cells (leukocytes) that circulate in the blood. Certain microbe-sensing proteins, known as Toll-like receptors, found on the surface of cells in the body are also thought to be involved in these processes.
Gutworms and similar parasites are present in untreated drinking water in developing countries, and were present in the water of developed countries until the routine chlorination and purification of drinking water supplies. Recent research has shown that some common parasites, such as intestinal worms (e.g. hookworms), secrete chemicals into the gut wall (and hence the bloodstream) that suppress the immune system and prevent the body from attacking the parasite. This gives rise to a new slant on the hygiene hypothesis theory — that co-evolution of man and parasites has led to an immune system that only functions correctly in the presence of the parasites. Without them, the immune system becomes unbalanced and oversensitive. In particular, research suggests that allergies may coincide with the delayed establishment of gut flora in infants. However, the research to support this theory is conflicting, with some studies performed in China and Ethiopia showing an increase in allergy in people infected with intestinal worms. Clinical trials have been initiated to test the effectiveness of certain worms in treating some allergies. It may be that the term 'parasite' could turn out to be inappropriate, and in fact a hitherto unsuspected symbiosis is at work. For more information on this topic, see Helminthic therapy.
In the early stages of allergy, a type I hypersensitivity reaction against an allergen, encountered for the first time, causes a response in a type of immune cell called a TH2 lymphocyte, which belongs to a subset of T cells that produce a cytokine called interleukin-4 (IL-4). These TH2 cells interact with other lymphocytes called B cells, whose role is production of antibodies. Coupled with signals provided by IL-4, this interaction stimulates the B cell to begin production of a large amount of a particular type of antibody known as IgE. Secreted IgE circulates in the blood and binds to an IgE-specific receptor (a kind of Fc receptor called FcεRI) on the surface of other kinds of immune cells called mast cells and basophils, which are both involved in the acute inflammatory response. The IgE-coated cells, at this stage are sensitized to the allergen.
If later exposure to the same allergen occurs, the allergen can bind to the IgE molecules held on the surface of the mast cells or basophils. Cross-linking of the IgE and Fc receptors occurs when more than one IgE-receptor complex interacts with the same allergenic molecule, and activates the sensitized cell. Activated mast cells and basophils undergo a process called degranulation, during which they release histamine and other inflammatory chemical mediators (cytokines, interleukins, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins) from their granules into the surrounding tissue causing several systemic effects, such as vasodilation, mucous secretion, nerve stimulation and smooth muscle contraction. This results in rhinorrhea, itchiness, dyspnea, and anaphylaxis. Depending on the individual, allergen, and mode of introduction, the symptoms can be system-wide (classical anaphylaxis), or localized to particular body systems; asthma is localized to the respiratory system and eczema is localized to the dermis.
Before a diagnosis of allergic disease can be confirmed, the other possible causes of the presenting symptoms should be carefully considered. Vasomotor rhinitis, for example, is one of many maladies that shares symptoms with allergic rhinitis, underscoring the need for professional differential diagnosis. Once a diagnosis of asthma, rhinitis, anaphylaxis, or other allergic disease has been made, there are several methods for discovering the causative agent of that allergy.
If a serious life threatening anaphylactic reaction has brought a patient in for evaluation, some allergists will prefer an initial blood test prior to performing the skin prick test. Skin tests may not be an option if the patient has widespread skin disease or has taken antihistamines sometime the last several days.
A low total IgE level is not adequate to rule out sensitization to commonly inhaled allergens. Statistical methods, such as ROC curves, predictive value calculations, and likelihood ratios have been used to examine the relationship of various testing methods to each other. These methods have shown that patients with a high total IgE have a high probability of allergic sensitization, but further investigation with specific allergy tests for a carefully chosen allergens is often warranted.
Traditionally treatment and management of allergies involved simply avoiding the allergen in question or otherwise reducing exposure. For instance, people with cat allergies were encouraged to avoid them. While avoidance may help to reduce symptoms and avoid life-threatening anaphylaxis, it is difficult to achieve for those with pollen or similar air-borne allergies. Strict avoidance still has a role in management though, and is often used in managing food allergies.
A second form of immunotherapy involves the intravenous injection of monoclonal anti-IgE antibodies. These bind to free and B-cell associated IgE; signalling their destruction. They do not bind to IgE already bound to the Fc receptor on basophils and mast cells, as this would stimulate the allergic inflammatory response. The first agent of this class is Omalizumab. While this form of immunotherapy is very effective in treating several types of atopy, it should not be used in treating the majority of people with food allergies.
A third type, Sublingual immunotherapy, is an orally-administered therapy which takes advantage of oral immune tolerance to non-pathogenic antigens such as foods and resident bacteria. This therapy currently accounts for 40 percent of allergy treatment in Europe. In the United States, sublingual immunotherapy is gaining support among traditional allergists and is endorsed by doctors who treat allergy.
In alternative medicine, a number of allergy treatments are described by its practitioners, particularly naturopathic, herbal medicine, homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine and applied kinesiology. Systematic literature searches conducted by the Mayo Clinic through 2006, involving hundreds of articles studying multiple conditions, including asthma and upper respiratory tract infection showed no effectiveness of any alternative treatments, and no difference compared with placebo. The authors concluded that, based on rigorous clinical trials of all types of homeopathy for childhood and adolescence ailments, there is no convincing evidence that supports the use of alternative treatments.
|Allergy type
|United States
|United Kingdom
|Allergic rhinitis
|35.9 million (about 11% of the population)
|3.3 million (about 5.5% of the population)
|10 million suffer from allergic asthma (about 3% of the population). The prevalence of asthma increased 75% from 1980-1994. Asthma prevalence is 39% higher in African Americans than in Anglo Saxons.
|5.7 million (about 9.4%). In six and seven year olds asthma increased from 18.4% to 20.9% over five years, during the same time the rate decreased from 31% to 24.7% in 13 to 14 year olds.
|Atopic eczema
|About 9% of the population. Between 1960 and 1990 prevalence has increased from 3% to 10% in children.
|5.8 million (about 1% severe).
|At least 40 deaths per year due to insect venom. About 400 deaths due to penicillin anaphylaxis. About 220 cases of anaphylaxis and 3 deaths per year are due to latex allergy. An estimated 150 people die annually from anaphylaxis due to food allergy.
|Between 1999 and 2006, 48 deaths occurred in people ranging from five months to 85 years old.
|Insect venom
|Around 15% of adults have mild, localized allergic reactions. Systemic reactions occur in 3% of adults and less than 1% of children.
|Drug allergies
|Anaphylactic reactions to penicillin cause 400 deaths.
|Food allergies
|2-4% of children and 1-2% of adults. Peanut and/or tree nut (e.g. walnut, almond and cashew) allergy affects about three million Americans, or 1.1% of the population.
|5-7% of infants and 1-2% of adults. A 117.3% increase in peanut allergies was observed from 2001 to 2005, an estimated 25,700 people in England are affected.
| Multiple allergies
(Asthma, eczema and allergic rhinitis together)
|2.3 million (about 3.7%), prevalence has increased by 48.9% between 2001 and 2005.
Although genetic factors fundamentally govern susceptibility to atopic disease, increases in atopy have occurred within too short a time frame to be explained by a genetic change in the population, thus pointing to environmental or lifestyle changes. Several hypotheses have been identified to explain this increased prevalence; increased exposure to perennial allergens due to housing changes and increasing time spent indoors, and changes in cleanliness or hygiene that have resulted in the decreased activation of a common immune control mechanism, coupled with dietary changes, obesity and decline in physical exercise. The hygiene hypothesis maintains that high living standards and hygienic conditions exposes children to fewer infections. It is thought that reduced bacterial and viral infections early in life direct the maturing immune system away from TH1 type responses, leading to unrestrained TH2 responses that allow for an increase in allergy.
Changes in rates and types of infection alone however, have been unable to explain the observed increase in allergic disease, and recent evidence has focused attention on the importance of the gastrointestinal microbial environment. Evidence has shown that exposure to food and fecal-oral pathogens, such as hepatitis A, Toxoplasma gondii, and Helicobacter pylori (which also tend to be more prevalent in developing countries), can reduce the overall risk of atopy by more than 60%, and an increased prevalence of parasitic infections has been associated with a decreased prevalence of asthma. It is speculated that these infections exert their effect by critically altering TH1/TH2 regulation. Important elements of newer hygiene hypotheses also include exposure to endotoxins, exposure to pets and growing up on a farm.
In the United Kingdom, allergy is a subspecialty of general medicine or pediatrics. After obtaining postgraduate exams (MRCP or MRCPCH respectively) a doctor works as several years as a specialist registrar before qualifying for the General Medical Council specialist register. Allergy services may also be delivered by immunologists. A 2003 Royal College of Physicians report presented a case for improvement of what were felt to be inadequate allergy services in the UK. In 2006, the House of Lords convened a subcommittee that reported in 2007. It concluded likewise that allergy services were insufficient to deal with what the Lords referred to as an "allergy epidemic" and its social cost; it made several other recommendations.

If you missed the very first Chevy High Performance Nationals last June 1-3, then you shunted a great gathering of some of the baddest Chevys in the country competing for car show, autocross, and drag racing glory. For those who couldn't attend, read on, as we showcase a whole bunch of Chevy action from the event in the next several pages that will make you obsess about showing off your Bow Tie at the event next year.
A collaboration of efforts between the National Muscle Car Association and Chevy High Performance resulted in an all-Chevy event that will be one for the record books. The first event brought on a massive car show, wild drag racing, and a Jet-Hot Coatings–sponsored autocross, which had attendees entertained all day. Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Georgia, hosted the meet, and the fans just about packed the place.
As the second stop on the Chevrolet Performance LSX Challenge Series, the CHP Nationals hosted several cool drag racing classes, including a wild drag radial class that saw cars running mid 7s in the quarter, a naturally aspirated class for LS-powered cars, and a class called Real Street that featured a slew of low 8-second late-models. For the index racer there were a few options as well, like the Fifth-Gen Camaro Challenge class and the LSX Rumble category, which is a class intended for entries at nearly any performance level. For the street cars, the Tremec True Street class was also a category featured at this event. If you have a muscle car you drive and you want to test its mettle on the dragstrip, True Street is a great way to do it. Basically you have to successfully complete a 30-mile cruise on public roads and highways, and then make three back-to-back passes on the quarter-mile without opening the hood, messing with computer tunes, or refilling intercooler ice. It really is a challenging and fun class to compete in, and you would be surprised by the performance levels of some of these street cars; some were able to complete the cruise and then run a string of low 9s with stock suspension and drag radials!
This was the first time Chevy High Performance has hosted an event of such magnitude. Many folks in attendance agreed that it was a success, so the good news is you can look for another Chevy High Performance Nationals around the same time next year; keep reading CHP for the exact date, as we'll keep you posted.
Stay True
The Tremec-sponsored True Street has been our favorite class for years because it's the ultimate way to prove your quarter-mile monster is actually streetable. Even if you have a slow car, True Street has a category you can compete in. Designed to cater to nearly every performance level of car, True Street is a class we were glad to host at the CHP Nationals. The idea is to make a 30-mile cruise around town, through stop signs and over railroad tracks, then each competitor has to make three back-to-back passes without popping the hood or working on the car whatsoever. If you break on the line, you're out; if you adjust the carb, you're out; if you can't make the cruise, you're out. The person with the quickest average gets to be the "king" (there's even a cape and crown the winner "gets" to wear). Awards are given to the racer who gets their car's average closest to the 9-, 10-, 11-, 12-, 13-, 14-, and 15-second zones. For example, if you have a car that runs 11.90s, a strategy would be to slow the car down a bit so you can get your average closest to the 12.00 mark. The awards are some cash and prizes, but what people really enjoy is being able to really prove they have a reliable and fast street car. Jared Shepard out of Austin, Texas, had the quickest True Street car on the property, running an average of 9.806 in his '02 Camaro SS.

If you truly believe, that Sir Terry is the first person in the history of fantasy fiction to go and try to redeem the race of orcs from the clichés people have of them, please, go and play the Warcraft RealTimeStrategy Games and, even if you might think the books that go with the series 'fanfiction', read them too.
Warcraft is only one example of people going and cast a new light on orcs. Maybe it is even the most popular example.
If you don't like RTS-Games, perhaps the book-series 'The Orcs' by Stan Nicholls is something more of your taste.
I very much doubt if Terry plays Warcreft.
I started reading The Orcs and gave up after about two chapters. Nicholls just can't write, imo.
