Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister Vitaliy Yarema has said there is no reason to declare a state of emergency in the country's eastern regions."There are no reasons today to introduce a state of emergency. The counter-terrorist operation has already reached its turning point," Yarema told reporters after a Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers' meeting on May 27.
Militiamen in the southeast of Ukraine "have already realized that making the Ukrainian army angry is tantamount to being one's own enemy. They already had the chance to feel that during May 26 fighting at the Donetsk airport," he added.

When we started in 1995 this meant carrying a complete line of products from leading and specialty manufacturers and publishers. By 1996 customer needs required a departure from the standard "one-size-fits-all" systems sold by most manufacturers. PCComplete developed custom assembled, open architecture computers designed for the customer's application. Word spread quickly as most clients switched to systems built by PCComplete. Over the years working to fill the customers needs has lead PCComplete to develop custom purchase programs for the client's end-users, branch offices, and even employees.

Vimeo Releases HTML5 Video Player
New Universal Player detects browser capabilities, broadcasts in HTML5, Flash or native.
Popular video streaming website Vimeo announced the release of the Universal Player. The embeddable player automatically detects browser capabilities and subsequently delivers the best video for the device its being displayed on. The Universal Player supports Flash, native playback and HTML5.
While the first two formats were already supported by Vimeo, the inclusion of HTML5 support allows Vimeo content to be played on mobile devices with the appropriate codec and video definition. The embedded player will support h.264 and WebM. H.264 has been the default HTML5 codec, but the addition of Google's recently opened WebM, which will be baked into Android 3.0 is a thoughtful inclusion.
"The new embeddable code is highly scalable and allows us to continue to add support as new browsers and devices are released, for example serving HTML5 to IE9 and our Flash mobile player to Android phones running Flash 10.1," said Andrew Pile, Vice President of Product and Development for Vimeo.
The Universal Player is available now at Vimeo.com.

Selected viruses, spyware, and other threats: sorted alphabetically
X97M/Barisada.A is a macro virus infecting in the Microsoft Excel 97 environment. It uses the "class" method of infection – it attacks the module "ThisWorkbook" which is present as a standard in each Excel document or template.
After the infected document is opened X97M/Barisada.A is finding out whether there is the file hjb.xls in the directory at which the variable Application.StartupPath is pointing. If that file does not exist the virus will create it upon finishing work with the infected document. Documents located in that directory are run always when Excel is executed.
After a new start of Excel the virus attacks all Excel tables at finishing work with the document. The virus contains a dangerous activating routine which is started on April 24th between 14:00 and 14:59. At first a window with the following question is displayed:
If the user clicks the button "No" (Nie), the activating routine stops by displaying the window:
But if the user clicks to the answer "Yes" (Áno) a window with the following warning is displayed:
After clicking OK the next window with another question is displayed:
Here the Excel user also can choose one of two answers. If he chooses clicking the "Yes" button the activating routine is finished after displaying the window:
But if he answers by clicking the "No" button, the activating routine after displaying a window deletes all cells in Excel working documents which are opened at that moment. The window displayed before this activity looks as follows:

Julie Penny OUR TOWN The Sag Harbor Express January 8, 2011
By Julie Penny
"The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either" – Benjamin Franklin
During the holidays I drove to the airport feeling two parts defiance, one part dread, one part anxiety as I had no intention of getting radiated and strip-searched by a body-scanning device. That left me with no alternative but to succumb to a violable, invasive, "enhanced" pat-down. Overriding it all was my overwhelming feeling of disgust and disbelief that this is the America we are forced to live in these days—where we are little more than cattle intentionally prodded by the fear machine—forced into making a false choice between being irradiated by a device that shows graphic images of your naked body under your clothes, or being intimately felt up by a representative of the government. It amounts to governmental sexual harassment of us all; debases and subjugates us on a profound, even existential, level. It's an assault upon those who are scanned or patted down, and those employed to do it. Albeit in different ways. I'd say the ramifications are akin to the dynamics between jailors and the jailed—it's a warped relationship—and powerfully unhealthy for society. Our government should not be doing this to its people, it's abusive, and should cease and desist; simple as that.
Listen, I like being alive, I like my children and grandchildren being alive, but being subjected to pornographic images of ourselves made by full-body scanners that penetrate our clothes, or to be violated instead with gropings by a stranger should you reject being scanned, will not deliver us from death's door. Our government, in the form of Janet Napolitano, our latest head of Homeland Security, admitted as much on TV in December. It's all for show, folks, supposedly to scare off so-called would-be terrorists, and to give us a false sense of security that these over-the-top security measures they force upon us keeps us from harm. The government's own audits of this security process has shown that it's 70 percent ineffectual—These measures just don't work. We also submit to these degradations to our health, privacy, and personal boundaries thinking it's a trade-off —that these scanners are designed to "detect explosives." Wrong. They only detect images that shouldn't belong on your body. So, those who have breast prostheses, back braces, colostomy bags, ileotomy bags, get violated and humiliated and worse like the bladder cancer survivor who ended up with the clothes he was wearing soaked in his own urine during a traumatic TSA pat down that broke the seal on his urostomy bag. They're robbing us of dignity — our humanity — in the name of security. And, by design to keep us docile. This invasion of our person is unconstitutional. "Amendment IV" of the Constitution says: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause…"
The flip side is the double-standard in security arrangements you can drive a truck through. As the airline pilot from San Francisco recently showed on YouTube — airport security is an illusion, it's a crock. While on one hand we stand in line like bleating sheep moving along to be scanned like a can of tomatoes, the pilot revealed in an ABC News interview "that all those people you see outside, the ground personnel, all the caterers, all the airline cleaners, they get virtually nothing." Yessiree, they go through no security screening. What's wrong with this picture? Where's the sense in that? Of course, the TSA who's tolerated this sloppy security since 2001 wants to punish the pilot for daring to show these breaches on YouTube rather than having corrected this problem in the first.
I ask you, who profits by the acquiescing masses that allow their rights to be breached and trampled upon by unreasonable searches? The right to be free of unreasonable search is guaranteed under the Constitution. No longer, says the TSA. And just think, we get the privilege of paying for the indignity of being scanned with skin-cancer causing radiation or felt up by strangers—including our genitalia—with our very own money, our taxpayer dollars. Sick. Talk about "gross" domestic product.
In November, Michael Chertoff, the former Homeland Security Secretary under George W. Bush, and the founder of the Chertoff Group, a security consulting firm whose clients include manufacturers of full-body scanners, was out there cheerleading this technology to the media. Yet, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post only identified Chertoff as a former head of Homeland Security. Why? This is an egregious but all too common and convenient omission of a fact by mainstream media that would've indicated Chertoff's conflict of interest in a technology that stands to reap billions of dollars. It was only Campbell Brown who got Chertoff to admit that he is paid by a manufacturer of such devices on her news show.
So, here we have full-body scanning devices that (a) are ineffectual 70 percent of the time; (b) take creepy, graphic, pornographic images of ourselves from head to toe which we now find have frequently been kept rather than deleted after going through security (kept indefinitely in many instances); (c) deliver radiation to our bodies as indicated by scientists and doctors; (d) acclimates us to this steady, incremental erosion of our rights (f) acclimates us into being submissive to everything the government demands of us—even to its unconstitutional demands. Isn't it nuts that we are expected to relinquish our freedom guaranteed by the Bill of Rights to the TSA and DHS upon entering an airport? Freedom doesn't mean being forced to stand by as your little kid has a stranger rub his or her hands all over him or her.
Must we watch impotently as our spouses, our children, our toddlers, our parents, our grandparents are subjected to the whims of, and molested by some poorly trained TSA agents, some of whom are on power trips? But that's the point isn't it? Make us malleable. Make us afraid to dissent. Make us afraid to speak up to question authority. All the while making us complicit—not only in cooperating in our very own violation—but as we watch our own family, friends, and fellow-travelers being violated and robbed of their privacy, dignity, and rights guaranteed by our Constitution. Placing us in the position where we can't resist the government's power over us, benefits whom? Surely it does the manufacturers and lobbyists out to make money from the Homeland Security gravy train which, to date, has doled out billions on dubious and boondoggle projects. It's not only the TSA and DHS spreading the cash—it's the constant revolving door that exits between Congress, government agencies and commercial enterprises with their well-paid lobbyists that include big drug, heath insurance, oil, coal, gas industry, the banks, Wall Street, the defense industry. They constantly scratch each other's back at the cost of the public's pocketbook, health and welfare…and, it's costing us the very fabric of our democracy. Ours is a government that serves crony capitalism, not the people, and where the same players are continually moving back and forth from the government sector to the private and back again in a never ending musical chairs of money.
Shouldn't we be saying: "Get your hands off me?" "Get your hands off my kid, my mother, my wife, my husband, my sister, my brother, my grandmother?" "Keep your hands off my crotch, my breasts?" "We demand you take your freaky pornographic body-scanners and toss them?"
Psychologists are sounding the alarm—airport pat-downs are playing into the hands of child sexual predators. Here we have, on the one hand, parents telling their kid not to allow anyone—let alone strangers—touch them, while on the other, TSA agents are intimately groping them—acclimating them to a situation that they should be running from. An expert in the fight against child sex abuse says the TSA is reportedly getting kids to cooperate with these frisks by telling them it's a "game"—the very gambit sex predators use to molest a child: telling the child that what they are engaging in is a "game."
Those who have defied the TSA, as did the man from San Diego who refused going through a body scanner and who warned a TSA agent euphemistically, "Don't touch my junk," if he got patted down, now face the ire of the TSA. Rather than submit to being de-humanized and his rights robbed he left the airport. Leaving, it turns out, is against the law once you've gotten into a security line. The TSA is investigating him, wants to fine him $11,000. Is this vindictive insult to injury not a clear warning to us all not to resist? A girl and a guy who—in unrelated incidences—stripped down to their skivvies in defiance of scanners and pat-downs also faced the TSA's ire. God bless their resistance. As the airport I departed from (JFK) and the one I flew home from didn't use the body-scanners yet—only the metal detectors—I was spared from these Draconian methods for the moment.
Forget this tyrannical insanity. This unconstitutional power-play. Keep the trained bomb-sniffing dogs, stick with the metal detectors that these body scanners are supposed to replace, and dump the body scanners. Skip these invasive pat-downs.
Lastly, scientists and doctors around the country and around the world are warning about the cancer risks posed to us by these body scanners, especially to pregnant women, children, the immune compromised. With these devices, the first two epidermal layers of skin receive the greatest dose of radiation. Also, it seems the dose of radiation could be "20 times higher than first estimated." Of course, any dangers are down-played by our government. Yet, there has been no independent testing of these machines. Worse, no real oversight on how they're handled in the field.
"There's no use depending on TSA 'research' that denies or minimizes the risk because those results have been bought and paid for." – David J. Brenner, Columbia University's Center for Radiological Research.

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nassrallah speaks on a TV screen during an Iftar in Beirut's southern suburbs, Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2012. (The Daily Star/Stringer)
BEIRUT: Hezbollah Chief Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah hoped Monday for continuous dialogue among rival leaders in Lebanon, but maintained a firm stance against the March 14 coalition's demand of disarmament saying there was no alternative to the resistance party.
"There is no choice but to sit and launch dialogue as no one aims to eliminate the other. I hope that they [the March 14 figures] are allowed to continue dialogue," Nasrallah said in a televised speech.
He added that dialogue is the means to dissipate fears regarding Hezbollah's arms.
Nasrallah also rejected his rivals' allegations that his party sought to control the state, saying: "We never did and would never do such a thing."
He said Hezbollah had the opportunity to control the state during the 2008 street clashes between Beirut residents and Hezbollah supporters, but added that any March 14 party would have sought such a thing if the opportunity arose.
Nasrallah also addressed other March 14 allegations against his party that Hezbollah's arms prevent the creation of a true state in Lebanon, saying that sectarianism and political corruption were the main obstacles.
"There is a fundamental problem. You cannot build a national, modern state based on sectarian quotas, leverage and disputes. No true state can be created but the one we are living in now," Nasrallah said.
He added that political corruption and a lack of a national identity were also obstacles standing in the way of a true state.
The Hezbollah chief spoke of the fear of Hezbollah's arms being solely in the hands of one party and one sect, but said that there was no real alternative to the resistance party in defending Lebanon against Israeli aggression.
"Is there a deterrent force equal to the resistance's capabilities?" he asked. "For the military to become a deterrent it requires reinforcements if it is to at least equal the strength of the Israeli army."
He added that there has not yet been any initiative to strengthen the military.
A fierce debate over a national defense strategy capable of resolving the issue of Hezbollah's arms has resurfaced in the country following the resumption of National Dialogue sessions last month.
The March 14 coalition insist that Hezbollah's arsenal be incorporated within the Army, while Nasrallah has said that cooperation between Hezbollah and the military would serve as a better defense mechanism.
In a speech last week, Nasrallah said that the resistance group could not fall under the command of the Army as the state lacked the ability to resolve even the most basic of challenges.
Nasrallah said Monday that Israel's primary fear in the region is the resistance party, which serves as a deterrent for attacks against Lebanon.
"For Israel, the resistance is considered the main threat to its interests," Nasrallah said, adding that Israel fears attacking Lebanon.
Nasrallah described as criminal the recent attack in the Sinai peninsula that killed 15 Egyptian guards, adding that it was unfortunate the perpetrators linked the incident to Islam and the resistance.
"It is unfortunate that such an act is attributed to Islam, religion, Jihad and the resistance," he said, warning that such a mentality was a threat to the entire region.

Starting with Firefox 2, Firefox has support for selecting different RSS or Atom feed readers to use when you try to read a feed. This article provides information about how to add support for additional readers not supported by default.
Adding a new web-based feed reader
To add support for a new web-based feed reader, all you need to do is add three new preferences:
- The name of the feed reader.
- For a feed reader, this should be "application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed".
- The URI of the feed reader. Use "%s" where the URL of the feed should be inserted.
number should be replaced with the next highest unique number that hasn't already been used. For example, if you want to add a new feed reader called "Easy Reader", and there are already defined content handlers with numbers 0 through 4, you should use a
number of 5, like this:
browser.contentHandlers.types.5.title: Easy Reader
browser.contentHandlers.types.5.type: application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed
browser.contentHandlers.types.5.uri: http://www.theeasyreaderurl.com?feed=%s
You can add these preferences by hand, by visiting <tt>about:config</tt>, or you can do it programmatically, if an extension wishes to install a new feed reader.
Adding a feed reader from a web application
JavaScript code on the web can add a feed reader easily, using the
navigator.registerContentHandler() function, like this:
navigator.registerContentHandler("application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed", "http://www.theeasyreaderurl.com?feed=%s", "Easy Reader");
Adding a new feed reader application
The easiest way to do this is to simply use the provided user interface, by using the Feeds panel in the Preferences (or Options, depending on your platform) window.
This can also be done programmatically by an extension, which is done by setting the value of the
browser.feeds.handlers.application option to the pathname of the application to use for reading feeds.

Tourism of India
Instant Hotel Booking for Sariska
Hotels around Sariska
The sanctuary covers an area of 800 sq km (including a core area of 498 sq km) and has sambar, spotted deer, wild boar, and above all, tigers. Project Tiger, the project launched in India to protect and preserve the tiger, has been in charge of the sanctuary since 1979.
As in the Ranthambhore National Park, this park also contains ruined temples, as well as a fort and pavilions, built by the maharajas of Alwar. And the explorers delving deep into the jungle spread over nearly 900 square km can seek answers to shadowy mysteries in the crevices of the hills, remnants of a bygone age.
The best time to visit this beautiful countryside is between November and June. One can see the most of the animals in the evening.
10/9/2007 These same forests, ages ago, are supposed to have sheltered the exiled Pandava brothers, heroes of the epic Mahabharat. The dense forest and difficult terrain of Sariska shielded them until they reached the court at Viratnagar 66 km away and lived there disguised as servants of the king. Only five boulders now remain to testify to the presence of the five Pandavas and their wife, Draupadi.
Though the material relics of that age are scarce, the whole countryside is teeming with evidence of the presence of the heroic brothers. Bhima, the strongest brother, smote his scepter in the rock face of a cliff and created a passage for them through a gorge deep in the sanctuary. This is the place known as Pandupol, the most commonly visited spot within the Sariska area. It was here also that Bhima, who had acquired the strength of many thousand elephants by drunk from the eight jars of the nagas, received a setback to his inflated ego by Lord Hanuman. Hanuman lay across the road disguised as an old monkey and challenged Bhima to lift him when he was ordered to clear the way for the Pandavas to pass. Bhima could not even move his tail and accepted defeat. A temple here is dedicated to Hanuman in the human form.
Tourists rarely return without a visit to this temple in which the image is in a reclining position. Busloads of devotees crowd the route on Tuesdays, the monkey god's known weekday. On Wednesdays, the inhabitants of the sanctuary are allowed a rest from the sight of human invaders and animals are indeed most visible on these days.
In September each year, however, they almost disappear off the track as hordes of worshippers from near and far, descend on the place for the famous fair which offers the startling spectacle of persons crawling lengthwise on the road the entire 48 km distance from Alwar city. If one is lucky to be present at the right time, the ear can be treated to the fascinating narration of the folk epic, the pandun ka kada, a Mewati version of the Mahabharata, sung by a Muslim jogi for hours at a stretch.
At Bhartrihari, it is the group called Bhartrihari ke Jogi, who dominate with their powerful music at the fair in August. For hundreds of years, the place gave solace and shelter to the legendary sage Bhartrihari, the author of important Sanskrit works on nitishastra and epics. A millennium later he is still greatly revered by the local populace. A temple in the hilly area (35 km) of Sariska is dedicated to this saint. For every night over a month, a grand musical drama of seven hours in the style of Parsi theatre is enacted and draws a massive audience. It narrates the epic story of king Bhartrihari, renowned for his justices.
At a short distance from Alwar is a diversion taking one past the small fortress of Kushalgarh to Talbraksha (36 km). The moist palm grove valley transports one mentally to India's coastal areas and it is difficult to believe that one is geographically in a desert state. Langurs compete in numbers with busloads of constantly arriving pilgrims. Side by side at Talbraksha are hot and cold springs with immense healing capacities.
In a clearing is a cluster of temples of varying ages and one might almost miss the gem of them all, a 10th century temple relegated to the background. This temple, in the typical panchayatna (five houses) pattern, was probably built as a Vaishnava temple, but was converted for Shiva worship. The Vishnu legend is represented in the relief of Hiranyakashyap, Vishnu's great antagonist, being killed by the Narsimhavatar.
Talbraksha is mentioned in the Virata parva of the Mahabharata. It was here that an arrow Arjun shot into the ground sprouted the Banaganga and when his exile ended he was able to purify himself in this offshoot of the holy river before taking up his arms and weapons concealed in a tree. Unfortunately, the archaeological value of this temple, or of Talbraksha, has been little exploited.
Past tobacco fields and tiny secluded hamlets, in the hills beyond Tehola is the marvelous fortified temple town of Neelkanth. Located as it is in a remote valley, 22 km deep in the interior of Sariska and surrounded by a jungle well populated by animals, access to which it difficult even today. But tucked away in this green belt are shades of antiquity in sandy brown, stone gray, and marble black, in a plethora of weathered sculptures and ornately carved temples.
It is particularly fascinating to explore the widespread area of Neelkanth, preferably over a day culminating with a visit to the fort, Rajor. Around the Shiva temple, scattered all over are mounds still unexplored indicating the multiplicity of temples. One has only to remove the shrubbery and dig away the earth to find fragments of an amalak or stambha and sculptures on religious themes and musicians.
Sariska is 35 km from Alwar, which is a convenient town to approach the sanctuary. Frequent buses ply between Sariska and Alwar. From Jaipur, Sariska is 120 km away and it takes three hours by road. Jaipur is well connected by air, rail and road to most of the important cities in India.
The best way to visit the park is by jeep and these can be arranged at the Forest Reception Office on the Jaipur Road.
One can stay either at the RTDC's hotels at Sariska or some of the other hotels like the Sariska Palace. If one is looking for a wider choice, one can go back to Alwar.

GREENFIELD — When Robert Huskisson learned his employer was about to discard $30,000 worth of medical equipment, the reserve police officer came up with a better idea.
Huskisson, a firefighter for Eli Lilly and Co., recently arranged for his bosses to donate 41 defibrillators to the Hancock County Sheriff's Department, where Huskisson has volunteered as a reserve deputy for eight years.
The donation, which includes defibrillators, shock pads and replacement batteries, equips each of the sheriff's department patrol vehicles with a life-saving device to be used in case of an emergency. Defibrillators can restart a stopped heart or restore a regular heartbeat that has fallen dangerously out of rhythm.
Lilly's fire and rescue crew was in the process of upgrading when Huskisson approached his superiors about donating the equipment, the vast majority of which has been tested and maintained but never actually used.
Lilly's upgrade was a preventive step, as the company that made the devices has been bought out and will no longer manufacture replacement parts, Huskisson explained.
Meanwhile, however, the devices are still operational.
"It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to destroy something that could still be used by other organizations," Huskisson said.

The super charger is one important part which helps in drawing more air for increased fuel-to-air mixture ratio. When more air enters the cylinder, then you are guaranteed of increased power output. When you want to fit a super charger to the engine, you need not modify the exhaust system of the vehicle. It is simple to add a super charger to the vehicle. The super charger can increase the power output of the engine without increasing its weight. The super charger has two important components, the impeller and the diffuser. The impeller is similar to a compressor which helps in intake of more air. The diffuser converts the high-speed, low-pressure air into high-pressure, low-speed air. This way the volumetric efficiency of the engine is increased.

Propeller bolt torque value
Re: Propeller bolt torque value
Barry I have received some good info on this, and ordered the service manual for my aircraft. The prop does have two studs, how does this work into torque values ? The bolts pull the prop up against the mounting flange, I assumed the studs just guide the prop onto the flange, they apparently do something else also ?
Thanks for you input. Tim .
Re: Propeller bolt torque value
I don't want to confuse you with "my" termonology. I was referrering to the attachment hardware you were going to torque. Typically, a designer knows the material specification for the bolts and nuts and type of threads specified. This information is used to determine the proper torque values. If McCauley supplied the "mounting hardware", in my opinion, they should specify the torque requirements and procedure. The service manual ought to give you some insight, I don't have mine handy or I'd look into it further.
good luck.
Re: Propeller bolt torque value
Tim, you never specified what year and model airplane you have, but the Model 100 Series Service Manual (1963 Through 1968) specifies torqueing the 172 propeller mounting nuts to 55 - 65 LB.-FT.
From the manual:
14-12. INSTALLATION OF McCauley PROPELLER.
a. On models using the spinner bulkhead with attaching lugs, slide the bulkhead over the crankshaft flange and install attaching lugs. On models where the bulkhead is located between the propeller and the crankshaft flange, position the bulkhead on he propeller before mounting the propeller.
When installing spinner bulkheads, position them so the propeller blades will emerge from the spinners with ample clearance. Avoid scraping metal from the spinner bulkhead and wedging scrapings between the propeller and the engine flange. Trim the inside diameter of the bulkhead as necessary when installing a new one. See figure 14-2 for mating of crankshaft and propeller gears if housing was removed from geared engines.
b. Remove any nicks, burrs, or sharp edges from the crankshaft, and clean the propeller and crankshaft cavities and mating surfaces.
c. Lightly lubricate a new O-ring and the crankshaft pilot, and install the O-ring in the groove in the propeller hub.
d. Check that the two dowel pins are in place in the aft side of the propeller hub. Align mounting holes and slide propeller carefully over the crankshaft pilot.
e. Install mounting nuts, tighten evenly, and torque to 55-65 lb-ft.
Washers are used under the mounting nuts on some models and are not used on others. Install them if originally used.
f. Position spacers and spinner support, if used, on front of propeller.
g. Reinstall spinner dome.
When I had my prop overhauled and balanced, the propeller shop checked all of my bolts (don't know what the process was - x-rays or dye penetrant or ???) and supplied BRAND NEW nuts.
Re: Propeller bolt torque value
thanks guys, this helps. My aircraft is a 1959 Cessna 175 with an 84 inch McCaulley fixed pitch prop. The strange thing I foud in my parts book was a graphic showing my ser # with 2 mounting bulkheads and an 8 hole system into the crank flange, pointed nose spinner. What I have is a 6 hole with a bullet nose spinner and one mounting bulkhead that holds the spinner on. My parts manual shows the 175 and 172 series, and my plane is set up like the 172 . Prop was installed in about 1992, so not sure how this worked out.

Cubans love those 'reformas' so much that they leave the island!
A guest post by Silvio Canto, Jr.:
Cubans love those 'reformas' so much that they leave the island!
Our family was part of that big "outflow" of Cubans back in the 1960's and 1970's.
We left because our parents wanted us to grow up in freedom. They saw the ways of communism and decided to leave everything and start fresh in the US. At least, their kids would have freedom! I'm thankful that they made that sacrifice.
The Castro propaganda machine, and all of their useful idiots in the West, always said that we were the privileged, the rich, the CIA agents, "los Batistianos" or the people who supported Batista, "los latifundistas" or the landowners who exploited the people, etc. They also said that we were not suited for the "new model man and woman" that the revolution was creating.
I guess that they didn't think that we were "cut out" to be that "new man" that Che Guevara spoke about many years ago!
Since we left, others have followed.
In 1980, the Mariel boat lift brought 100,000 Cubans to the US. They left when Castro said: "Those without revolutionary blood...we don't need you..."
So they left!
Others left in rafts and some did not make it! I remember a young couple who left Cuba in a raft and survived miraculously without water for days.
I recall the story of the young man who stepped out of a raft and was greeted by a reporter.
"Why are you leaving? Don't you appreciate free health care and education"?
The young man looked at the reporter: "There is more to life than lousy hospitals or getting indoctrinated"!
Just now, we read in Reuters that Cubans are leaving again:
"According to Cuba's annual demographic report for 2012, 46,662 Cubans migrated permanently in 2012, the largest annual figure since more than 47,000 left the communist-ruled island in 1994 after what international observers dubbed the "Rafter Crisis."
Over the last five years, Cubans have been emigrating at an average annual rate of more than 39,000, the report said, higher than in any other five-year period since the earliest years of the revolution."
That's a lot of people leaving all of those "reforms", "free health care" and the wonders of a "workers' paradise".
As my parents once said: "Esto es una mentira" ("This is a lie").
Yes, the whole revolution is a lie indeed. Unfortunately, it is a lie that some in the international left still want to believe!

Thousands of nutritious recipes. Choose your kind of healthy. Learn more
Yum, yum, yum. I used Eden Organic Pizza/Pasta sauce to reduce the sodium. This was so easy to make and tasted so good. After I put the meatballs on the hoagie, I topped it with cheese and then broiled the sandwich in the oven for a couple of minutes to toast the bun and melt the cheese.
Delicious! You can't tell it's ground turkey rather than ground beef at all. My only suggestion is to get proper bakery hoagies if you're planning on trying to "hollow out" the roll as per the directions...the generic, prepackaged kind tend not to be hearty enough and pretty much fall apart if you try to do so.
this seems like high in calories.

The founders of Boo, the European fashion site that came to symbolize dot-com excesses after its collapse in 2000, may have been on to something.
No, we're not talking about burning through $100 million of somebody else's money, jetting around on the Concorde and cavorting in Parisian nightclubs with Brazilian supermodel Gisele. Although that would certainly be fun.

The defense budget for the U.S. is going to recede, but it's not clear exactly when or by how much. Defense Secretary Robert Gates wants the military to find $100 billion in savings in overhead over the next five years to put back into troop costs and weapons programs and he wants to do it while keeping the overall Pentagon budget growing at about 1 percent a year. Marine Corps General James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said yesterday other parts of the government might have a problem with that.

Reaction to "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Reading "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was interesting for a few reasons. I agreed with the author's argument that the song was successful because it gave a voice to the inarticulable emotions many of its audience were experiencing. I can easily see how the screaming and mumbled lyrics and agressive instrumentation express the frustration and angst of young adults. The worst (or possibly best if it was intentional, but I don't think so) part of the essay, however, was the style of writing. In reading it there seemed to be a quote or citation in every other sentence. It completely ruined the flow of the paper and made it harder to read. What's more, most of the quoted material did little to further the argument the author was trying to make. Most of it was 'yeah, duh' information, opinion, or quotes of one or two words which provided little extra information to make up for the interruption in the flow of the paper. The author would have been better off to just come up with his own words to get the idea across. In some cases I even wonder if the citing was necessary. Surely the source author doesn't have a complete monopoly on that one word. At any rate, after the discussion of the Batman piece, I could see how this paper sort of mumbled through the details even though the message is perfectly clear is a parallel to the song being so inarticulate that it expresses the emotions very clearly. But, I think more likely it was just an inexperienced writer.

Top Gear drives Sebastien Loeb*
*In actual fact, a cardboard cut-out of him. In honour of his 9th WRC title, relive our drive in his old C4
Posted: 09 Oct 2012
We're clearly living in some form of superbly structured, artificial reality akin to The Matrix. And just like that epic computer kung-fu fest, there is a glitch, because Sebastien Loeb has just scored his ninth world rally championship crown. Déjà vu?
The Frenchman appears to have been coded from some sort of Rallying Handbook. Either that, or he's just that ruddy good. He took the 75th victory of his career on his 'home turf' at the Rallye de France Alsace over the weekend, racking up enough points to claim the title.
Despite treacherously wet conditions over the four-day race, Agent Loeb took his eighth win of the season, driving his Citroen DS3 WRC car to victory by 15.5 seconds.
"This is what we came to do, experience the feelings we enjoyed in 2012 again by winning the world title 'at home'," said Loeb. "This year the feeling is even more special though, because it is undoubtedly the last one."
That's right, he's taking a step back next year from a full-time WRC drive presumably to let everyone else have a shot at the title, no doubt content with nine straight rally championships in a row.
All this, and the man still found time to rub more salt in the wound to his rivals. "I drove carefully," he said. "There were two rallies left where I could have won the title, but I'm really happy to do it here for the fans in Alsace."
Agent Loeb, TG salutes you. Just don't try and kung-fu us to death.
In honour of his historic win, click on for the time we got to drive the big man's Citroen C4 WRC car, replete with a cardboard cut-out of him...

Real Resort Weddings
Posted in: Weddings,
Date: September 26, 2012
Three blushing brides, three handsome grooms and three decidedly different weddings. Take a peek inside these real Woodlands Resort weddings.
Bachelor Parties: Avoid 'The Hangover'
Posted in: Weddings,
Date: September 19, 2012
With the average age of the groom rising from 24 to almost 29, guys are redefining the bachelor party from booze and babes to brunch and bros. Think The Woodlands is too tame for your best bud's bachelor party? Think again.
With our close proximity to Houston, your group can get in a round of golf before pre-dinner cocktails. Play one or both courses!
When the groom has worked up an appetite, leave the car keys behind and take our complimentary shuttle to Town Center.
What's more manly than a juicy steak for dinner? From Fleming's Prime Steakhouse to Kirby's and Perry's, reserve a table for a refined dining experience. Order a fine red wine or an aged bourbon on the rocks. All of these upscale establishments have private rooms if a playful roast of the groom is on the agenda.
After dinner, head over to one of the many bars and pubs in The Woodlands including The Exchange located next to Hubbell & Hudson. The Exchange is the only bar in Texas to have fluctuating beer prices based on demand. Just follow the ticker to find out the price of your favorite beer. And when it's time for a round of shots, push the server call button – there's one on each table.
The Goose's Acre Irish Pub, Baker St. Pub, Bar Louie and Stadia Sports Grill are other options for post-dinner revelry.
When you're ready to call it a night, drop into a plush resort bed with plenty of room to stretch out. You'll thank us in the morning when you're not waking up on your best friend's couch with an aching head and back.
The next morning, gather the guys around the over-sized community table in The Woodlands Dining Room for a round of Bloody Mary's. Our breakfast buffet has endless food and plenty of options to feed a football team.
With the bachelor party "bail" money still in hand, treat the groom to a hot lather shave at The Boardroom. A light facial massage, steamed towel and after-shave treatment will leave him looking his best to face the future Mrs. after a night out with the guys.
Beauty Advice From Brides
Posted in: Weddings,
Date: August 13, 2012
Who better to give wedding day beauty advice than those gorgeous gals who have successfully made it from the wedding altar to the reception. These 16 real brides share their tips for a flawless wedding day.
No alcohol the night before. "Stay away from carbs for a while, not just the day of or the night before the wedding. Don't drink alcohol in excess the night before - you will regret the bloating and sleepy eyes. Also, if you want a bronzed look, get a base tan before spray tanning. Spray tanning on pale skin can look orange and streaky."
-Amber Farris, Human Resources Recruiter, Houston, TX
15 Wise Bridal Beauty Tips From Past Brides
Stash baby wipes in the bathroom to freshen up. "I was literally dripping sweat down my back I was dancing so much! I was having fun, but it's not so elegant when someone goes to give you a hug. I used baby wipes to freshen up. They're also great for getting out stains in a pinch without leaving a big ring like water can."
-Vanessa O'Malley, full-time mom, Summit, NJ
Dirty hair is the secret to a long-wearing updo. "I have super fine hair that doesn't like to stay in an updo. I didn't wash my hair for four days before the wedding so it was slightly greasy. This gave my hair some grip and it stayed in place all night!"
-Alyssa Dineen, fashion stylist, New York, NY
Do a trial run, even if you don't hire a pro. "Prior to my wedding, I had a friend create a smoky-eye look on me. In my opinion it looked too dark, but after wearing it for a while, I got used to it and it really looked nice! If I hadn't had a run-through, I would have been freaking out on my wedding day! After seeing my wedding day pictures, I was really glad to have gone with that look."
-Tammy Gibson, author of A Mom in Red High Heels, Redlands, CA
Don't stray too far from the real you. "Experiment with different hairstyles, but then choose the one you are most comfortable with, the one that is most you. You don't want to look back at photos of the special day and wonder "who is that?"
-Kim Van Dang, branding consultant and founder of KVD NYC, New York, NY
Reduce pre-wedding jitters with a personal spa ritual. "Make sure to pick one beauty regimen that is personal to you, like taking a nice and relaxing bath,"
-Marta Walsh, editor, TalkingMakeup.com, Scottsdale, AZ
Splurge on a makeup pro. "I kept my hair very simple and did a simple chignon myself since it was going to be hidden by the veil anyway. I invested more time and energy into my makeup look. I did a trial run with a professional makeup artist keeping in mind how it would look in wedding pictures. To this day, I've never looked better in photos makeup wise, and I still use the tricks the makeup artist taught me."
-Stephanie Smirnov, President, DeVries Public Relations, New York, NY
Make sure your touch-up kit has all the right colors. "I didn't own the makeup shades my makeup artist used, so she gave me the lipstick, lip gloss and eyeshadow. Not all makeup artists do this, so make sure to ask yours. You don't want to realize later on during your wedding that you don't have the right stuff for touch ups."
-Karen Bierman Hirsh, full time mom, Greenwich, CT
Don't O.D. on blush. "My makeup artist didn't use a lot of blush for my wedding look because she said my cheeks would be flushed all night and then I'd be too red in person and pictures. And she was totally right! My make up looked gorgeous all night!"
-Alix Campbell, Photography Director, Marie Claire Magazine, New York, NY
Go for waterproof mascara. "I made a huge mistake at my own wedding. I wept like a baby and had black track marks in some of my pictures (before my sisters pulled me into the bathroom for some damage control). I love Lancome Hypnose Waterproof Custom Volume Mascara because it makes lashes look super-lush, and comes off easily with eye makeup remover."
-Tia Williams, author and beauty blogger, Shake Your Beauty, Brooklyn, NY
Not a fan of waterproof mascara? "I used a lengthening and curling mascara first to help build my lashes, and then added an additional coating of waterproof mascara at the very ends, which also helps hold the curl in lashes."
-Bailey Clark, writer, Makeover Momma, Staunton, VA
Don't rush to remove your veil. "If you decide to wear a veil on your wedding day, wear it for the entire day - from your walk down the aisle until the end of the reception. A veil is that one element that transforms you from a woman in a white dress into a bride. Looking back at my wedding photos, I wish I hadn't been in such a rush to take off my veil and show off my hair. I much prefer the photos of me wearing the veil; they have a much more romantic quality."
-Daneen Baird, writer & editor of Spoiled Pretty, Philadelphia, PA
Get your brows groomed by a professional. "I did my own make up and had my hair styled in a simple french twist, but what really made me look polished was a professional eye brow shaping. I had my brows done a few days before the wedding so they wouldn't look red or bumpy on the big day. It made such a difference in photos to have perfect brows!"
-Jennifer Cattier, corporate lawyer, New York, NY
Avoid bold nail polish. "Your hands will be on stage for the entire day---signing the certificate, showing off your rings, shaking hands---you'll want them looking pretty and feminine. I made a huge mistake on my wedding day by painting my nails BURGUNDY and now I cringe every time I look at my wedding pictures. My hands jump out and scream "bad trend!" in every photo. Do yourself a favor and choose a pretty pale pink or nude for your wedding day manicure."
-Erika Valente, editor of Makeup Bag, Reno, NV
Reduce your sodium intake. "A few weeks before my wedding, I cut out salt from my diet. In just a few days, the eye puffiness was gone and I could see a big difference in the contours of my face."
-Mina Pontarelli, DailyMakeover.com Team, New York, NY
Layer your makeup for ultimate wearing power. "Alternate lipstick with pressed powder, keep face makeup in place with makeup primers, line fillers, and setting powder -- these all help to ensure your makeup lasts for as long as you want it to!"
-Christine Mielke, editor, Temptalia, San Jose, CA

The DIY Bride
Posted in: Weddings,
Date: August 02, 2012
BY: Judy Patterson, Senior Catering Manager
Pinterest, wedding blogs, smart phone apps, etsy ... the list goes on and on. Brides today are finding that inspiration, "how to's" and resources are just a click away. You want your wedding to be a reflection of you (and the groom, of course!), but where do you start?
One of the biggest mistakes I see many brides make is to do too much or take on too many projects. With so many great ideas out there, it is very easy to become overwhelmed. Be realistic with how much time you have to devote to hand crafting items for your ceremony and reception. If it becomes a chore or is creating stress, take a step back and reevaluate. Maybe creating 300 handmade favors for every guest wasn't the best idea after all! Instead, select one idea or craft project and incorporate it into your wedding day.
If you do decide to get crafty, here are a few DIY ideas we've seen at The Woodlands Resort.
Blend handcrafted items along with fresh flowers from your florist. It's a great compromise that can save you money while adding that personal touch to your décor.
Have guests sign wine bottles or use a pre-made scrapbook instead of traditional guest books
A unique alternative to the flower bouquet, use brooches and other family heirlooms to create a stunning masterpiece.
With some planning and a reality check (or two) along the way, you can add that special handcrafted touch to your very special day!

A Wedding Story
Posted in: Weddings,
Date: May 10, 2012
For more than 10 years, Judy Patterson has been assisting excited brides-to-be plan their dream wedding day down to the finest detail. We caught up with Judy to find out which wedding traditions today's brides are keeping and what trends are out.
What are the color trends you're seeing this year?
Most of my brides are going back to softer, natural and more neutral colors. They are choosing moss green, ivory and cream colors that compliment the resort's forested surroundings.
Where are brides drawing their inspiration?
Pinterest is huge! Every single one of my brides has a wedding board on Pinterest. It's actually a great way for them to share their vision and ideas with me. I can get a good idea of the dream wedding they envision and help make it a reality.
How have you seen wedding receptions evolve?
Brides are still incorporating traditions such as the first dance and father-daughter dance, but I've definitely seen couples move away from the garter and bouquet toss.
Also, rather than a long head table reserved for the bridal party, we're seeing large, round tables for the bride and groom to share with their parents and grandparents.
Are groom's cakes still popular?
About 50% of the weddings I've planned have groom's cakes. The majority of those cakes are themed around interests and hobbies of the groom. I see a lot of golf-themed and alma mater groom's cakes. In Texas, that means a lot of maroon and burnt orange colors.
We all remember the red-velvet armadillo groom's cake in the movie Steel Magnolias … what other unforgettable groom's cakes have you seen?
Everything from a 3D replica of the groom's dog to a fishing tackle box and even a Star Wars spaceship. Our pastry chef is a genius when it comes to groom's cakes. If you can dream it, he can build it!
What's the most creative, unique idea you've seen at a wedding?
Brides are really incorporating heirloom and vintage touches through centerpieces and accessories. Recently, a bride had her mother and mother-in-law's wedding dresses on display in the reception foyer. Photos of the moms on their wedding day were placed next to the couple's engagement picture. It certainly added a nostalgic and romantic touch to her own wedding day.

text: WICHITA, Kan. - Three separate, un-related shootings in Wichita overnight left at least seven people injured, one critically. Captain Troy Livingston says his detectives were aleady busy with two shootings earlier Wednesday night when a third shooting occured around 4 a.m. in northeast Wichita. That incident occured near 26th and Grove at an apartment in Calvary Towers. Capt. Livingston says officers responded to the scene and it was eventually determined there were four people shot. A 25-year-old man was found inside with a gunshot wound to his chest and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. Three other men, ages 41, 29 and 28 were taken to local hospitals in private vehicles with non-life threatening injuries. Calvary Towers is a complex for retirement-age people and those who have disabilities. Police expect to release more details Friday. Captain Doug Nolte say it was shortly after 9:00 p.m. Wednesday when a 43 year old man got into an argument with a 45 year old woman outside her residence in the 6400 block of E. Pepperwood and the woman shot him in the leg. The victim drove himself to the hospital. Police are looking for a known suspect. Capt. Nolte says the argument began with the man was demanding to see another woman who was at the home and the woman would not let him see her. Nolte says just an hour later, around 10:15 p.m., four teens were sitting in a car in the QT Parking lot in the 600 block of W 21st st north when an unknown suspect walked up to them and fired shots at them.The victims left the scene and called police from 27th and Erie. Two brothers, one 18 the other 15, were seriously injured but the wounds were not considered to be life threatening. Two females, one 17 and one 18, who were with the brothers were not injured.

CNU Presents at ITE Annual Meeting
Urban Thoroughfares Manual is "The Right Fix" for Connecting Streets, Connecting Communities.Submitted on 08/22/2011. Tags for this image:
Last week, nearly 600 attendees gathered in St. Louis for the Institute of Transportation Engineers Annual Meeting. CNU Program Director Heather Smith attended and presented at the conference on the CNU/ITE co-authored manual Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares: A Context Sensitive Approach. As the below dispatch from Smith captures, excitement is building for the work behind the CNU/ITE manual. With over 1500 downloads of the manual from the ITE website, Designing Walkable Urban Thoroughfares has become a tool that transportation planners, public works departments, city leaders, and community members use to design better streets, mitigate traffic, spur economic growth, and act on public health concerns.
Read Smith's account of the conference below, and click here for the newly retooled and updated page containing the latest on how the CNU/ITE manual can deliver a "Right Fix" to communities across the country.
CNU's Heather Smith's dispatch from ITE Annual Meeting:
At the ITE meeting, there was an excitement about new methodologies and techniques for designing safer streets. From sessions on Tampa Bay's pedestrian action plan and an analysis of New York's express bus system to several sessions dedicated to bicycles, pedestrians, and drivers in the midst of a typical highway- and car-focused meeting, this year's ITE conference addressed a whole range of concerns.
The CNU and ITE urban thoroughfares manual got a lot of attention in two different sessions. One session, presented by Jim Daisa and Brain Bochner, gave a hands-on look at two new case studies – one on Lancaster Boulevard in Ft. Worth and the other on a TOD development near the Pleasant Hill Bart Station in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In another session, I presented the safety benefits of highly connected networks and how the manual can be used to implement complete streets. Speaking on a panel with John LaPlante of TY Lin and Jeffrey Riegner of Whiteman, Requardt, and Associates, we addressed complete streets and multimodal level of service. John Laplante presented several counterintuitive and often overlooked points such as:
Designing wider roads means more time for pedestrians to cross, which in turn means more wait times for cars.
Designing more wait times for pedestrians means most cars will go 45 mph on major thoroughfares and stop for 2 minutes instead of going along at 30 mph with less stopping time.
In scenarios with narrower streets engineers can actually increase car capacity because there is less time for pedestrians to cross the street.
Mid-block crossings are safer for pedestrians because there is traffic coming from 2 directions instead of 4 at intersections.
Installing signal countdown timers at intersections yield a 25% crash reduction rate; the new MUTCD manual is requiring these signals.
LaPlante pointed out that completes streets are a must and showed the benefits of designing speeds to Level of Service D. LaPlante also pointed out that we need better ways to measure non-motorized travel. He referred to TRB's latest Highway Capacity manual (due out in September) that contains more advanced methods of analyzing pedestrian level of service. The session generated good discussion from engineers anxious to overcome the traditional approach to highway engineering.
For all the progress being made, there is still much work to be done in the field. With sessions titled "Accommodating Pedestrians and Bicycles," the industry still retains a focus on the vehicle. Oh, for the day when this conference and others are full of bike and pedestrian designs and when there are sessions titled "Accommodating the Automobile"!
Till that time, CNU and ITE will continue working together to find ways to design safe and comfortable streets for all.

The story of the 2013 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship has so far been the battle between Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing, with the main principles being Jimmie Johnson versus the two headed dragons of Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch. Prior to Sunday's AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway, they've combined to win 15 of the 28 races run this season, which is a staggering amount of events considering the parity and close competition of the most elite series of stock car racing. Simply put, they've been the top of the class and the competition, as close as it is, clearly have a triple threat of dominant racers for the title race.
On Sunday, those three players were a major factor for the race win, but they possibly have a fourth driver to consider into that championship picture. While Johnson motored away to his fifth win of the year (by way of leading 243 of 400 laps) at Dover, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon compiled his most complete race thus far, never truly dipping outside of the top-10 after the halfway point and running in the third position, right there for the win had Johnson or Dale Earnhardt Jr. pitted for a splash and go during the penultimate green flag run. As it was, he placed fourth and now finds himself just 39 markers out of the lead, sitting fifth in points with seven races left in the title race.
Johnson reasserted himself as the favorite for this year's title, and why not? He's a five-time Cup champion, and he's won all of his titles in the Chase format. Heading into Sunday's race, all the focus was on the powerhouse Joe Gibbs Racing pairing of Kenseth and Kyle Busch, who had placed 1-2 in the first two Chase races at Chicagoland and Loudon. Both ran competitive races and well within the top-10 finishing order, but this race left a somewhat disappointing taste in their mouths after the fast but competitive 400 mile race.
Meanwhile, the Chase may have seen more drivers who may have fallen by the wayside, either on life support status for their title hopes or in some cases, perhaps looking to at least score a top-10 points position to do a speech in Las Vegas after the season finale at Homestead-Miami, FL. Those drivers, which include Kurt Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Carl Edwards, Joey Logano, and Kasey Kahne are wondering what is to be for their championship prospects or if it's just time to refreshen for 2014.
As the Cup series storms its way over to Kansas Speedway for this Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400 (Live on ESPN at 1 PM EST), let's take a gander at our Chase field and profile the drivers and teams' chances at winning the Cup!
1) Matt Kenseth (previously 1st) Not a bad race for Kenseth, but to place seventh was a bit of a disappointment considering how fast and strong they've run as of late. Nevertheless, the circuit heads to another 1.5-mile speedway, which is a speedway that "Matt the Brat" tends run excellently at, regardless if it's in his old No. 17 Ford or in his No. 20 Toyota ride with Joe Gibbs Racing. He's won the past two races since the track's major reconfiguration in the summer of 2012, so if you're a fantasy race owner looking for a surefire win at Kansas, why not the 2003 Cup champion?
2) Jimmie Johnson (prev 3rd) Oh yea, remember him? The guy who transitioned from a clean faced, apparent twin of Bob Dylan to a bearded triathlon machine that has a knack for winning when it counts, that's who. With his fifth win of 2013 and his eighth victory at Dover (the most for any racer in the Cup ranks), Team 48's brought them back into the picture for the Cup and Kansas tends to be a decent track for the pride of El Cajon, CA. Watch for Chad Knaus and Johnson to be relentless down the stretch, taking on that killer instinct attitude to win it all, at any cost.
3) Kyle Busch (prev 2nd) If there was an award for "good job saving a loose racecar," it should've gone to Rowdy, who about lost that No. 18 Toyota towards the final stretch of the race. Yet, he hung on to his car, kept calm, and he brought his JGR chariot back home in fifth position. They're somewhat flying under the radar with those four wins, but when he captures the checkered flag, he often does it in dramatic fashion. Kansas hasn't been a kind track to Rowdy since the reconfiguration, but he could very well turn things around with a strong performance this Sunday.
4) Kevin Harvick (prev 6th) From fourth to sixth and back to fourth, "Happy" appears to be on a rollercoaster ride as of late. This time, it's going back up Helter Skelter style, and hopefully, it doesn't plan to go back down for the No. 29 team. Gil Martin and the Budweiser RCR Racing boys have worked diligently to close out their chapter with Harvick in fine fashion, and minus their hiccup at Loudon, it's been a good Chase effort so far. Just kind of missing the special ingredient that makes this playoff dish tasty, if you catch my drift.
5) Jeff Gordon (prev 8th) Talk about a team that's stepping it up when it truly counts. Looking somewhat pedestrian in the first 20 races of the year, Gordon's turned things around behind the wheel and his No. 24 team have been improving as a whole in all aspects of the races. Closing out races had been a struggle but they're somewhat getting better at this aspect of their race strategies. Placing fourth at Dover, this was about as complete of a race for the Axalta and Drive to End Hunger team and with Kansas coming up, a track similar to Chicagoland, this could be the weekend to capture that elusive first win of 2013.
6) Greg Biffle (prev 5th) Harvick gets a lot of credit for being "The Closer," but perhaps we might want to call Biffle something similar to that as he closed out the AAA 400 in fine fashion with a not too bad ninth place effort. He hovered around just around the border of the top-10 all race long and when it counted, the driver of the No. 16 Ford brought it home towards the front and kept himself within shouting distance of the front runners. Like Biffle reminded espn2's NASCAR Now and Fox Sports 1's NASCAR RaceHub, don't quite count him out yet.
7) Ryan Newman (prev 9th) Perhaps heeding to Jimmie Johnson's suggestion to grow a Chase beard, "Rocket Ryan" and his No. 39 team put together a good race, placing within the top-10 finishing order and like Biffle, keeps his title hopes alive and within reach of the points leaders. Kansas comes up and it's a track where he's enjoyed Victory Lane back in 2003 with crew chief Matt Borland, who happens to be back setting up his racecars again. Maybe he could have a "Throwback Sunday" moment?
8) Clint Bowyer (prev 10th) Bowyer and his No. 15 team did more than their share of "stretching" at Dover, starting with the Emporia, KS native's appearance at a yoga session at the track on Saturday afternoon and virtually concluding with a fuel mileage gamble that was derailed by a late race debris caution with 27 laps to go. Still, he placed 10th and as iffy as his car was, he kept himself in the title picture, but now he's somewhat on the cusps of being in the race or being at least a top-10 observant in Las Vegas, NV.
9) Kurt Busch (prev 7th) Might the wheels be falling off the 2004 champ's chariot? From his No. 78 pit crew basically being replaced by Richard Childress Racing's No. 2 Nationwide pit crew starting at Dover to a car that just wasn't cooperating with the long green flag runs, it's been looking a bit rough for the Furniture Row Racing boys. Not exactly time to just focus on finishing in the top-10 in points but something just seems amiss with this bunch. Doesn't help either that this team is looking for a driver in 2014, so perhaps they're tackling a lot on their table.
10) Dale Earnhardt Jr. (prev 11th) The disappointment on the stubbled Kannapolis, NC native's face is actually a good sign. He sure wanted to win on Sunday and he came within a half second of the win. Earnhardt's car just didn't have the clean air to at least mount a charge and challenge in the last green flag run, so Team 88's got some work to do but to win the pole and run real competitively at "The Monster Mile," that's a good sign that this team could make a dark horse push for the Cup. Kansas is coming up and when Regan Smith drove the No. 88 car last October, he sure ran well in it so odds are, so can Earnhardt.
11) Carl Edwards (prev 4th) Late race hub issues with the car derailed a somewhat middling afternoon for "Concrete/Cousin Carl," who just hasn't had the speed to make a serious challenge in the Chase. It's not for lack of effort on Edwards, crew chief Jimmy Fennig, and the No. 99 team, who can show that they're amongst one of the best in the Cup garage and tracks. Unfortunately, time is running out and if bad luck keeps rearing its ugly head with the Fastenal Ford team, it might mean a shift in priorities for the 2013 season's conclusion.
12) Joey Logano (prev 12th) Perhaps it's an all for naught situation for this group, but the No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Penske Racing Ford crew had a terrific podium finish effort at Dover. Maybe a title run is out of the cards, unless everyone magically wrecks out in consecutive races, but a chance to thank the sponsors and get bonus money as a top-10 points finisher in Las Vegas is not out of the question for Logano and crew chief Todd Gordon. Nothing to be ashamed of with how this season turned out here for this bunch.
13) Kasey Kahne (prev 13th) Everyone knows that TPF loves Farmers Racing, who happens to have awesome folks running its Twitter account. We love the "bam bam bam bam bam bam bam" ad and we know the ladies love Kasey Kahne and his No. 5 Chevy SS. But something just isn't right here, and the Chase hasn't been too kind to Kahne and crew chief Kenny Francis. It's unfortunate because they've worked tremendously hard to be in the playoffs but perhaps if they even want to mount a challenge for the Chase (and Kevin Hamlin, stay tuned to our Track Talk piece this weekend), they need to win at Kansas.
Agree or disagree with my assessments? Feel free to talk about it with me on Twitter right now or if you'd like to express your thoughts on this year's Chase field, tweet me and I may include it in next week's piece! Till next time, friends!

"In my original notes I had that Precious would have a baby girl, then here comes this boy," sapphire says with a laugh.
Instead, for his second directorial effort, he chose the novel Push by sapphire.
Push by sapphire "Though heartbreaking, it is ultimately a story about hope and survival."
"precious stone next in hardness to a diamond," mid-13c., from Old French saphir (12c.) and directly from Latin sapphirus (cf. Spanish zafir, Italian zaffiro), from Greek sappheiros "blue stone" (the gem meant apparently was not the one that now has the name, but perhaps rather "lapis lazuli," the modern sapphire being perhaps signified by Greek hyakinthos), from a Semitic source (cf. Hebrew sappir "sapphire"), but probably not ultimately from Semitic. Some linguists propose an origin in Sanskrit sanipriya, a dark precious stone (perhaps sapphire or emerald), literally "sacred to Saturn," from Sani "Saturn" + priyah "precious." In Renaissance lapidaries, it was said to cure anger and stupidity. As an adjective from early 15c. Related: Sapphiric; sapphirine.
A clear, fairly pure form of the mineral corundum that is usually blue but may be any color except red. It often contains small amounts of oxides of cobalt, chromium, and titanium and is valued as a gem. Compare ruby.
Associated with diamonds (Ex. 28:18) and emeralds (Ezek. 28:13); one of the stones in the high priest's breastplate. It is a precious stone of a sky-blue colour, probably the lapis lazuli, brought from Babylon. The throne of God is described as of the colour of a sapphire (Ex. 24:10; comp. Ezek. 1:26).
