INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indiana House committee overwhelmingly approved a bill Thursday to require Amazon.com and other online-only retailers to start collecting Indiana's 7 percent sales tax this summer, six months earlier than planned under a deal brokered by former Gov. Mitch Daniels.
Ind. House panel backs online sales tax collection
The House Ways and Means Committee voted 20-1 to advance the bill to the full House. The proposal would start requiring collection of the sales tax in July but would exempt online retailers doing less than $10,000 in business a year in the state.
Bill sponsor Rep. Tom Dermody, R-LaPorte, said the state's current policy allowing online retailers not to collect the sales tax gives them an unfair advantage over traditional stores.
"We're not asking anything other than putting businesses onto a level playing field," Dermody said.
The current policy dates to a 2007 deal with Amazon, which agreed to open its first warehouse in Indiana with the promise that lawmakers wouldn't push for online sales tax collection. Amazon now has five distribution centers in Indiana but hasn't given details on how many workers it has.
Daniels reached an agreement with Seattle-based Amazon last January for the company to start collecting state sales tax in 2014. That followed a lawsuit by Indianapolis-based shopping mall owner Simon Property Group against the state and a lobbying push by traditional retailers over the policy.
Indiana Retail Council President Grant Monahan said he believed most lawmakers agreed it was time to end a price break that takes customers away from stores in the state.
"Internet retailers, who many times aren't based here, don't employ that many Hoosiers, if any at all, don't support community organizations, don't pay taxes here, get that advantage," Monahan said.
Some legislative leaders, however, are wary of overriding the agreement between Amazon and Daniels, whose term as governor ended earlier this month.

WWE Main Event TV report
Thursday, 27 June 2013 15:36
By Chris Aiken
Airdate: June 26, 2013
WWE Main Event
from Columbia, SC opened with the entrance of Chris Jericho followed by Cody Rhodes. Josh Matthews and Miz provided commentary at ringside and, after the introductions, it was bell time.
Chris Jericho beat Cody Rhodes via submission.
After some early exchanges like headlocks, a shoulder tackle and a drop kick by Jericho, Rhodes was sent to the outside where he got kicked through the ropes by Jericho. Back in the ring, Jericho had the advantage until Rhodes fights back by using an eye poke. The announcers really sell the poking of the eye and put it over as a disadvantage for Jericho. When Jericho begins to make a comeback, he gets rammed shoulder first into the ring post and Rhodes begins to get heat on him. Jericho fights back but Rhodes hits a moonsault off the top rope for a nearfall. Moments later after making a comeback, Jericho hits an ax handle off the top. Jericho also used a flying cross body off the top and moments later Rhodes used a disaster kick. Rhodes blocked the Boston crab and later gave Jericho an Alabama slam. Jericho went for a lionsault and landed on his feet as Rhodes rolled out of the way before Rhodes hit the code breaker for a nearfall. Seconds afterwards, Jericho hit the code breaker for a nearfall. Rhodes kicked at the injured eye but Jericho blocked a kick and applied the Walls of Jericho (Boston crab) for the submission.
The ad featuring Kane stalking Halle Berry that plugs The Call is airing once again. Also, a video package aired hyping the return of Rob Van Dam.
Afterwards, Zeb Colter and his new charge, Antonio Cesaro, came out for a promo from the entrance ramp. Colter said he rarely hears English anymore and he told the people that do not speak English to leave. He did not say where to go, just to leave. Cesaro cut a promo saying he has pride, he immigrated to the U.S. the proper way and called his methods part of the American way and Cesaro also said he was living the real American Dream. Likewise, Colter said he wanted his country back and "we the people" would apparently accomplish that.
Christian beat US Champion Deam Ambrose via DQ in a non-title match.
Before the match, a replay aired of The Shield attacking Christian and giving him the triple power bomb. Ambrose leaves the ring at the outset and Christian follows him outside but gets caught getting back in the ring. Ambrose begins to work over Christian but he fights back and tosses Ambrose outside the ring only for Christian to get clotheslined on the floor. Ambrose begins to get heat on Christian until he makes a comeback and uses a springboard sunset flip off the second rope for a nearfall. Christian went to the top rope then Seth Rollins runs in joined by Roman Reigns. Rollins shoves Christian off the top for the DQ finish and The Shield jumps Chrisitan. The Usos quickly run in to make the save and The Shield flee the scene. Later in the show, a six man tag team match was announced stemming from the run-in.
The "Raw Rebound" segment featured drama between CM Punk and Paul Heyman. In addition, Miz vowed to gain new information on the subject when he interviews Heyman on MizTV for Smackdown. Announced for Raw next Monday is a tag team match with Punk and Curtis Axel vs. Prime Time Players.
Prime Time Players beat Tons of Funk via pinfall.
Before the match, the Funkadactyls (Naomi and Cameron) introduce new WWE diva JoJo. She sang the Tons of Funk entrance theme and the entire entourage danced. JoJo is apparently on the new Total Divas reality show. Still, this felt awkward. Brodus Clay and Tensei had the advantage early on but Titus O'Neal and Darren Young took over and the match (somewhat) showcased them to build for their match on Raw. Brodus Clay was mounting a comeback when Young nailed him with a punch from outside the ring as Clay missed a charge in the corner. O'Neil covered Clay for the pin as Young held down Clay's leg so he could not kick out.
Who would you have the most interest in for Fabricio Werdum's next title defense?
Junior Dos Santos
Cain Velasquez
Alistair Overeem

Pittsburgh Junior
40: 4.50
Has good size and uses it well to get position against smaller defenders. Has strong hands to pluck the ball out of the air. Has deceptive long speed because of he's a long strider adn he can get behind the defense. Tracks the deep ball well. Will go up and make the jump ball catch. Has good body control, able to twist his body in the air to adjust to the throw, as well as make the diving catch or snag on the low throw. Shows good potential as a blocker, able to deliver blow and uses his size well to get position downfield.
Lacks ideal short-area burst and seems to have trouble separating on the shorter routes. Tends to push off at times. Will tip his routes and at times appears to be a lazy route-runner. Doesn't get as good a release against press coverage as someone with his size and speed should. Doesn't have great speed or burst with the ball in his hands and doesn't give you a lot after the catch. Needs to do a better job securing the ball after the catch, tends to gather himself, and not as physical a runner as his size should merit. Lets some balls get into his body and will double catch some throws. Doesn't consistently show good effort going after the ball on deep passes. Gives only perfunctory effort as a blocker on the edge, doesn't hold his blocks, and misses too many assignments there.
Baldwin is an intriguing prospect because of his size and ability to make plays downfield. His production dipped this past year due to shoddy and inconsistent quarterback play at Pitt. But it was clear that his effort also took a dive as he seemed to mentally check out. This was on display after he declared for the draft in early December after Dave Wannstedt was fired and blamed the coaches for purposefully disrupting his draft stock by making him run too many deep routes. He later retracted the comments, but it does raise some character issues with Baldwin. He followed up a strong sophomore campaign where he had 57 catches for 1111 yards (19.5 avg) and 8 touchdowns with 53 catches for 822 yards (15.5 avg) and 5 scores as a junior. Was a good basketball player in high school, averaging 22 points and 9 rebounds per game as a senior, receiving scholarship offers from schools like Marquette. His cousin is former Bengals CB Charles Fisher (1999-2000).
If you pop in sophomore tape of Baldwin, there are some plays he made that year that remind you of the last great Pitt wideout: Larry Fitzgerald. But his play as a junior, makes you think he's probably closer to being Antonio Bryant. Baldwin has good ball skills, size, and deceptive long speed to make him a very good factor on the vertical routes. His size also means that he doesn't need to get great separation on the shorter routes, but you do worry whether or not he's a guy that is really going to shine there enough to be a go-to target inside 10-15 yards. He can get better there, but he's probably best served playing in a scheme that will use him in a similar capacity as a Vincent Jackson and try to get him in a lot of one on one situations on the outside downfield. I think his NFL future is probably similar to that of Robert Meachem, in that I don't expect him to hit the ground running as a rookie. Eventually, the player you sort of hope he turns into is Plaxico Burress. LIke Burress, he'll probably work well in an offense opposite a good No. 1 target that can be more of the possession wideout like he did early in his career in Pittsburgh across from Hines Ward. As his career progresses and he improves his route-running, develops a stronger rapport with his quarterback, then he can start to become more of a No. 1 receiver like Burress was in New York. But there is a boom/bust potential with Baldwin, and he could easily create a lot of headaches. I can't fully blame him for his down junior season because poor quarterback play did really hurt him. He was clearly Pitt's most dangerous weapon on offense and he was too often an afterthought. But those red flags when it comes to questionable effort and playing down to his competition are scary for wideouts. I doubt he'll be a complete bust, but it would also not surprise me if 5 years from now he's just a No. 3 guy that struggles to catch more than 30-40 passes a year. He doesn't seem like the type that is going to be catching 80+ passes a year, but that 60-70 pass range seems to be his sweet spot and he certainly can be a 1000-yard receiver even with that workload.
Baldwin is a similar player to Michael Jenkins, except he's a much better vertical receiver because of better size, thicker build, body control, and more natural ball skills. He is the type of player that could be an asset in the Falcons offense because of his ability to work the vertical seam and go up and get the ball for a passer like Ryan who isn't particularly blessed with a great arm for the vertical offense. He has the potential to shine on those 20-30 yard routes for those reasons. His size also means that he can be an asset as a blocker on the outside if he commits to it. But the question of course is raised about his character, effort, and toughness. I'm not convinced he's going to be that much different than Jenkins, in that he'll have limited production. I think the difference likely will be Baldwin's 3-5 catches per game, he'll be more likely to generate those big plays down the field. But is he a true No. 2 that can scare defenses from doubling Roddy, or is he more like Jenkins and is a No. 3 that is a nice complement, but won't be able to consistently make those plays down the road? That is the big question with him. As a rookie, I suspect Baldwin can come in right away and carve a niche as a No. 3 or No. 4 guy that can give the team 20-30 receptions. And by his second or third season should be entrenched as a starter and be able to catch 50+ passes.
Baldwin has late first round potential, but the character issues makes him a much safer value in the top half of the second round.

Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisition Katrina McFarland
The Defense Department is considering sharing potential procurement requirements with industry even if those draft requirements never take effect, Assistant Secretary for Acquisition Katrina McFarland said April 16 at an industry conference in Washington.
"The Joint [Chiefs of] Staff has come to visit, and they're interested in looking at how they can allow for the exposure of information on the generation of requirements early on and how would that be protected from the sense that government may never ever actually buy this requirement," McFarland said at a National Defense Industrial Association-hosted event.
Giving industry a peek at draft requirements can get government and defense contractors on the same page for their budget priorities, she said. The idea is for the government to signal procurement criteria without being on the hook for following through on those criteria.
McFarland said that acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Alan Shaffer already floats early procurement requirements to industry for one program in his portfolio, and indicated that sharing early requirements with industry is a major agenda item for her office.
In lean budget times, the DOD is looking to innovation in technology R&D to cut costs, McFarland added. Consider your own methods of cost-cutting, she beseeched defense professionals, and asked them: "How do you marry that up with what our business is so that we are already prepared for the next generation of equipment?"

The failure of massive federal IT projects can usually be traced to poor management. The solution is as multilayered as the projects themselves.
I have yet to see a program change requirements or acquisition strategy when industry is given a chance to comment. Industry rarely tips their hand after an acquisition is announced, and often focuses on how best to game the flaws in the requirements process. It would be more valuable to reestablish the Solution Architecture Working Groups that OMB and ICH supported years ago that helped define the realm of the possible prior to kicking off formal requirements. The second change would be embracing a Services and Capability Based acquisition model like AF ASAP and BTA's Capability Assessment Method (CAM).

Near perfect mix of stealth, action, story and revenge.
The best sleeper of the year and possibly game of the year for me. Many games I find myself bored before I even finish them and I feel like I need to force myself to complete them. Splinter Cell: Conviction was far from a forced finish. I thoroughly enjoyed playing every mission in this game. It seemed to have a beautiful balance of stealth and action while leaning towards more action, which I prefer. The variety of the levels kept everything fresh and the fantastic graphics made it even better. I loved the fact that I could still complete a mission even if I failed to stealth my way through it by killing everyone. Regarding the killing, I felt the combat was very smooth, guns felt good, and stealth kills were great.
That said it seems like a great game right there. But the story for an action video game was fantastic. I actually watched all the cut scenes with my brow raised. In between this story of revenge with a twist I found myself gitty by the consistent amount of interrogations I was prompted to do, where you can stomp, bash or throw your enemies through windows, into toilets or over balconies.
Overall I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a SP game this much as it's been month's if not a year, this game hit's on all cylinders, even in the multiplayer game play.

This primer confuses me so much!
It is the first primer that I have ever used.
I have an oily t-zone, and prior to trying primer, I would look like a hot mess by 1 or 2pm, cakey from having to powder so often, streaky from my foundation separating and somehow, still oily.
Upon using this primer, I am no longer oily, and I now need to powder my face about 90% less often. My foundation goes considerably less streaky, and only really separates under my nose now which is the most common place for that to happen on anybody. I also feel like it is nice and light on my skin and doesn't clog my pores too much,, and it is also really fast drying.
BUT, and there are a few buts. When I purchased this primer I was told, "oh you only need a tiny microscopic drop and it just covers your whole face." This is very unture, as I have to use about four times the amount I was specified to even get it to move across my skin, and this is after moisturizer (I literally cannot blend foundation at all on top of this primer without moisturizer). It is a very stiff formula. However the amount I was told to use could just have been salesperson lies. Also, you have to move very fast when applying foundation, and you can only apply foundation on top of it with a kabuki (buffing) or stippling brush or it just wont blend. I also find it makes it a little bit tricky to apply some concealers after foundation. I have no issues with powder, brozner or blusher with this primer however I have had liquid highlighter issues with again, blending.
OVERALL, this primer does what it claims and I have never been more matte and my make up has never lasted longer or looked better towards the end of the day, baring in mind though it is the first primer I have tried. However it doesn't glide over your skin easily and make blending a lot more difficult, and applying concealer and liquid highlighter more tricky. I almost feel as though I should try the normal photo finish primer and see if it makes me matte and doesn't clog my pores without the blending issues, but don't want to buy it just a sample -_-. Anyway hope this helps you guys.
Edit: I have owned this for 6 months now and it is my holy grail primer, I have tried 3 others since. I apply it with a synthetic foundation brush either by itself or mixed with MAC's strobe cream. I then apply my Smashbox Studio Skin foundation (mixed with macs fix +) with a beauty blender during the day time or a sigma flat top kabuki at night time. Love it!!!

I have VERY oily skin.. I'm usually an oily mess after an hour or two after wash. Before this primer, i used to blot every 2 hours.
This stuff dries pretty quickly. So there's no "wait 5-10 mins after primer" thing needed. With this primer and MAC's Studio Fix, i stayed looking flawless for about 6 hours. I blotted and then i was good for another 6 hours. That it pretty amazing for me.
The price is a bit expensive $37. I will still be trying different primers and try to find a cheaper one.

Unlike the original SB primer which is silicone based this one is water based. I know some people like it because it is lighter and might be better for oily skin, but I found that It didn't really do anything at all. I didn't get the same smoothing effect from it as i did the original SB primer. I gave it a two because it didn't do anything bad, but it didn't do anything good either.

I really really like this primer. I originally bought the small travel size version that Sephora sells in the little bins near the checkout counter, but as soon as I was done with that one I went back for another. It lasted me a really long time, mind you I rarely use foundation all over my face so a primer is not necessary. I was (and still am) only using it under my eyes before I apply concealor and it has given me amazing results! If you are finding that it doesn't keep your skin looking matte all day, you could always try the urban decay all nighter spray which is primarily designed for that specific reason!

As a reference, I have oily skin, noticeable pores on my nose, small wrinkles under my eyes (nooo!) and sometimes rough, bumpy texture on my forehead. I apply this to my t-zone and very lightly under my eyes after moisturizing and prior to foundation and concealer. This primer provides a smooth canvas for makeup application. I do notice that my makeup looks nicer when I have this on. It also fills in my pores and fine lines under my eyes. Unfortunately, this product does not keep my skin matte all day, like Smashbox claims. It keeps it matte for about 2 hours before oil starts to peak through. Also, the texture of my skin starts to look less smooth after about 5 hours of wear. Since I'm out and about at least 10 hours a day, I wouldn't repurchase this. The price is not worth how long it lasts. Lastly, although this product is marketed to people with oily, acne-prone skin, I think it would work better for people with normal to dry skin.

I have a love hate relationship with this product. So I'm breaking my review down into two - PRODUCT - PACKAGING.
PRODUCT: The product itself is amazing. My make up doesn't budge when I use this and it really is my "go to" primer. Before this I had tried MAC's prep and prime and it broke me out all over my face! This product goes on beautifully is super silky and keeps my face looking nice and matte all day.
PACKAGING: I'm not sure what's going on at Smashbox HQ but the change in packaging is quite annoying and I still don't think they've mastered it. The first one I bought came in a pump type bottle- I didn't really like this as I felt a lot of the product towards the end was wasted and you wouldn't be able to get out - which is annoying considering how pricey this is in Australia $60. Then the packaging changed to a tube which helps get all the product out but I still think you end up wasting a lot of product towards the end - I will say being able to cut the end off the new tube means you can scoop out those last little pits but again you do end up wasting some product. Perhaps a tub form would be better?!

This is the only primer I have used. the first times I used it with a moisturizer for normal skin and this combination did not work for so I stopped using it. It just made my skin look dry. However when I changed to a moist. for dry skin it worked amazing!! I do have kind of dehydrated skin but very acne prone, but after changing moist. and together with this primer my makeup sits perfectly and skin looks smooth and has a perfect "shine". - does not look oily nor dry at all. I would defo buy this again but still curious to try other primers....

I bought this product at Ulta after one of the sales associates recommended it to me when I explained that my skin has a tendency to get oily.
Overall, it does a nice job with controlling the oil on my skin and I don't find myself getting AS oily. That said, I do still get slightly shiny over the course of a few hours. My makeup stays in place nicely (although I usually use it in conjunction with Urban Decay's Naked Skin foundation) and looks good after I get home after a long day. When I take my makeup off at the end of the night, there is A LOT on the towelette and that just proves how well it keeps everything in place. I don't really find the smell of it all that appealing, but that's minor unless you're really into the scents of products you use. I usually use a pea to dime-size amount on my entire face. I found that a little goes a long way!
I would indeed repurchase this product, however next time I need a primer, I may try the original just to see how the two compare.

I must say that this product is divine. At first I was hesitant to buy it because I have tried gazillions of primers like MAC prep+prime, L'oreal and the list goes on. and so far, this combat my oiliness due to the crazy weather here in the Philippines. It's kind of pricey though. I just hope it won't make my skin break out.

When we were in NY, we went on a crazed primer hunt because it was super hot and humid and in the middle of a heat wave, and also Sephora took returns.
So between us we tried basically every primer stocked at Sephora and tested them against the 40 degree weather in NY, being outside all day and going into air con department stores, the subway etc. We would apply in the morning and check it at around midnight.
All 3 of us had different skins and all 3 of us left NY with one primer - this one.
This is not packed with silicone and so it won't irritate most skins. We got the regular version, but I also bought the green colour correcting one as a sample just to try. I don't see a huge benefit with the green one as opposed to the regular one.
I have used this under both liquid and mineral foundation and found that it improves both appearance and longevity.
We all agreed that this primer had the best feel and effect. Its a really light formula and goes on sort of like a moisturiser but then sinks in to nothing. Your skin just feels smooth and ready for makeup! I rub this into eyes as well and no irritation. Definitely didn't notice any clogging and did not cause blemishes!
More about me:
Asian normal skin - tending towards combination in summer
Was acne-prone for years
Foundation preference is to look as yellow as possible, absolutely nil pink
MAC NC-30, Shiseido O60
Sunscreen everyday - alternating between Sofina and Invisible Zinc

Down to meet someone new and see where it goes.. :)
I'm an Air Force Brat (girl with a military officer dad.. haha) from Colorado Springs. Lived in Boulder throughout college and recently moved to Denver. I often play grass volleyball at Wash Park and am always looking for someone to hit around a tennis ball with. I enjoy reading and book club scenarios, so if you have something in mind that I just HAVE.TO.READ., go ahead and lay it on me. Because I live in the LoDos area I find myself at the bars on the weekends, usually doing some dancing, goofin' around, and a lot of laughing; beer pong at Hayter's or games at 1UP sometimes too. I originally chose my specific location to rent because it has a large pool...basically, I just love the water and I had to live there once I saw it. And if I didn't enjoy riding at ABasin or Breck as much as I do throughout the winter I'd probably be living on the coast and learning to surf. In my free time (when I'm not in CSprings hanging with my niece and nephew or helping my mom with a random project), I'm typically at the gym, sketching out decorative art projects, baking cookies, making graphics on my computer, social networking, out shopping with a friend, or crossing off one of my bucket list items. I try my best to accomplish as much as I can in my career as well, which is why I'm presently doing an internship on top of my full time gig and a GRE class to prepare me or the post grad tests. Essentially, I would prefer to date someone who can keep up with my ambitious and active pace in life, a friend down for fun nights out on the town along with some new adventures on the weekends, and a man who is capable of being intimate and open with me while maintaining his own independent life. Yep, well, best of luck to you on here and please feel free to ask me anything you might wanna know. :)

Grew up with golden retrievers and enjoy how sweet and loving they are but have always been intrigued by the idea of owning an Argentine mastiff. I think snakes are exciting to play with but would realistically only own fish in a large tank someday

Goodfellas CleaningRead MoreThe carpet connoisseurs at GoodFellas Cleaning degrime, destain, and restore sheen to floors via expert cleaning services. Before steam cleansing, a rigorous vacuuming inhales rogue croissant crumbs and a pretreatment gets to work on pesky stains. GoodFellas' fiber aficionados annihilate dirt, dust mites, and unsightly blotches using a truck-mounted system that has 20 times the suction of handheld carpet-cleaning machines and 2,000 times the suction of a straw. After floors are squeaky clean, a protectant is applied in high-foot-traffic areas to repel oil- and water-based stains and buttered feet and then the carpet is deodorized. The entire process is safe and nontoxic, allowing babies, pets, and baby pet rocks to roll around on the rug postprocedure. This Groupon also gives customers 20 percent off additional services, including upholstery, tile, and grout cleaning.16916 E Lake DrLakeville, MN US

Clay Squared to InfinityRead MoreWhen Layl McDill's daughters were little, she would carry small bricks of polymer clay in her purse for them to play with. Over the years, the pastime evolved into a serious profession for her. Forming ropes of the colorful, malleable material into millefiore canes, McDill honed her skills, creating patterns, pictures from the carefully sliced clay logs. With the help and support of her husband and fellow artist, Josh Blanc, Layl founded Clay Squared to Infinity in 1996, where today she not only creates and displays her own artwork, but also leads classes for clay-curious artists of all ages.34 13th Ave NE, Ste 109Minneapolis, MN US

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 6/25/13
ST. LOUIS -- Whenever Cardinals manager Mike Matheny works out before games, which is often, he uses the same weight room as his players at Busch Stadium. One player whom he sees regularly is Carlos Beltran who, at 36, is hitting more like he did at 26. "Watch him in the weight room and you know it's not just by chance," Matheny says. "He's doing a lot to stay in the shape he's in." The Cardinals believe more down time has helped Beltran stay more consistent through the first half. At this point last season, he had missed only three games. This year, he has already sat seven games and has come off the bench in three others. Being another year removed from knee issues hasn't hurt, either. After spending much of last season hitting cleanup behind Matt Holliday, Beltran also seems to be benefiting from hitting second, in the spot ahead of Holliday. And most players always are more comfortable in their second season after switching teams. But ask Beltran how he's turning back the...

Celetania: Spaceships of the S.E.C.C.T.SJune 27th, 2008 by rototor
Vulcando Games sent in a new update regarding their upcoming massive multiplayer game Celetania:
Seeing as the Grogg ships are well known to you now, Vulcando Games presents you the S.E.C.C.T.S. chassis.
The S.E.C.C.T.S. are cybernetic entities which emanated from the humans of today. Contrary to the Grogg their preference is not trading but rather advancing technically and warfare.
This distinct property can be seen on their ships as well – they are more aggressive and powerful. While a fleet of hostile S.E.C.C.T.S. ships ramble through the galaxy, no one would voluntarily stand in their way because it is quite safe to assume that they are well armed.
You can find videos and descriptions for the chassis, that are the base element of every spaceship, on the official website . Utilizing these chassis in our sophisticated construction kit, you will be able to individually assemble these the way you desire.
In two weeks Vulcando Games will be publishing information about the weapons of the S.E.C.C.T.S. which will turn unperilous ships into raptors!
Celetania is a 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate) title with gameplay similar to Ascendency or Master of Orion, albeit with scores of other players.

As of Tuesday, January 10, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
NORCROSS -- Gwinnett County schools officials are investigating whether to discipline teachers who gave third-grade students math homework with word problems about slavery, a spokeswoman said Monday.
The district is working with the school's principal to address the problem after parents called last week upset over the worksheets, district spokeswoman Sloan Roach said. She said the district wants to "ensure that this does not happen again."
"These particular questions were an attempt at incorporating some of what students had been discussing in social studies with their math activity," Roach said in a prepared statement.
The NAACP has called for the firing of the nine teachers who sent home the questions and any other staff involved in the homework.
"I refuse to believe the teacher or teachers responsible for allowing it to go forward did not understand fully what they were doing. We need to understand how deep this is," said state NAACP president Ed DuBose said.
One of the math problems reads: "Each tree has 56 oranges. If eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?"
Another was: "If Frederick got two beatings each day, how many beatings did he get in one week?"
District officials say one teacher wrote the questions, but the rest of the third-grade teachers used the handout for their classes.
"Who would think of such questions to ask third-grade children?" parent Nichole Thompson told WSB-TV. "I definitely want an apology. I want them to acknowledge that not only was this bad judgment on their behalf, but we need to do better."

NINE teachers sent home these questions. GCPS needs to punish the administrator or AP that was over them for not doing his or her job as well.

What does the AP have to do with it?
gregmack 3 years, 5 months ago
There are certain issues that we should consider sacred or even untouchable. For example, we should not joke about rape, murder, domestic abuse or suicide. And because of the history in this country, we have to be careful how we address slavery. As it is for anyone who has experienced rape, murder, domestic abuse or suicide either personally or via family or friend, you do not overcome the experience immediately and for many, ever. The same holds true for slavery. There are some individuals, families and communities still dealing with the issue of American Slavery even over 100 years later. Legal Slavery made have ended in the 1860's but the consequences are still experienced to this day. And for those who would say get over it - just keep living and you may soon understand the truth of the matter from your own possible negative experience. In the spirit of MLK. Jr if we are to truly overcome, it has to start some day and each day we continue to mishandle this issue is another day delayed to overcome because when a movie is made say 25 years from now, history will show that the issue was still alive in 2012.
Bruce 3 years, 5 months ago
African-Americans have complained about disparitive treatment of our kids in Gwinnett County only to be met with the save-all "Race Card" defense. Thanks to this story for showing the world that there are several levels of service as far as education is concerned.
And @ news2me, the fact that nine teachers had knowledge, and no one made an attempt to change the lesson suggests an underlying systemic problem.
"Gwinnett Is Great - Sucess Lives Here"
micronmike 3 years, 5 months ago
Honestly, I understand the disgust with the group of nine, however as a fellow teacher only one is to blame. He or she was responsible for creating math homework for the rest, the other teachers did not even see it. The homework was given out by one teacher to students in nine rooms. I never ask my students to show me the homework another teacher assigns to them.
jack 3 years, 5 months ago
If we just had more money to spend on education, then...............ah, never mind.
EnidAn 3 years, 5 months ago
No surprise this happened in Gwinnett County Schools. After all, this is the same school system who saw it fit to slam a mother of 4 on the ground and haul her off to jail last year. I didn't forget that one. And yes, we can blame it on her, she was trespassing on school property where she has a child in attendance, but still, I have to wonder about the people we entrust our children's safety & education.
ssilover1 3 years, 5 months ago
Low class behavior begets appropriate results. A mother of 100 who acts so low class deserves to be hauled off. Keep her out of our schools. Yes. Trespassing on MY child's school...acting like a fool.
kevin 3 years, 5 months ago
If they were discussing slavery in social studies, then this is not an issue. Are we now not supposed to discuss slavery in our history classes? Maybe we should take this a step further and drop talking about African-Americans altogether. By the way, most are actually American Africans. They were born here.
R 3 years, 5 months ago
How many beatings? Really? This seemed like a good idea?
How many administrator openings will be created? How many PHDs does it take …
Bruce 3 years, 5 months ago
@kevin, I going to do you a favor and give you some attention. You speak bold now because we are talking about African-Americans and Hispanics. But should it happen to your victimized group, then the world will have to stop.
news2me 3 years, 5 months ago
Bruce won't be happy until we all agree with him 110% on every point. We are all racists in the eyes of Bruce!
Bruce 3 years, 5 months ago
No news2me, I know better than to say all white folks, in particular, are racist. Conversely, I teach my kids that every black man or woman is not your friend, treat people on an individual basis. I was trying to examine an organizational problem, guess you thought I was being uppity. Ha ha. I don't remember calling you a racist either, I thought I was agreeing with you. But since you brought it up ?
As for everyone agreeing with me 110%, I didn't solicate your or anybody elses agreement. I gave an opinion unlike yours.
How dare I?

The problem with this blog is too much emotion and not enough thought. No one here really knows the motive of the teacher who wrote the questions except him/her. And no one in this blog is involved in real information/fact finding. Leave it to the HR people to do a thorough job and determine if any punishment should be given. Leave it to an investigation to determine what training needs to take place. Remember, not one of us is perfect and at times any one of us may make a misstep. God help us. It seems that too many self-righeous people are ready to end our way of making a living and supporting our families. As to Ed Dubose and his group....go back to where you came from and let GC take care of its problems. You have enough of your own. Gwinnett does not need your help. You make things much worse. Solid, caring people will work through this and to Bruce, I hope people are so much more interested in your well-being and sensitivity training and that one day you learn the joy in loving all people equally. You don't sound too much like you do.

ssilover1, I don't see where I came off all that mad with just a few questions. You state that Gwinnett is full of solid, caring people like it's a utopia, without any regard to what anybody else's opinion of this utopia. Then, you are telling Amercians where they can go, what they can do, seriously? God help you do what? Lynch the people that don't agree with you? Where is the self-righteousness? Who said anybody was perfect? Did I say I was perfect? Stop fictionalizing. Stop deflecting from the issue? Why am I not sensitive? I bet I have a more diverse set of friends, real friends that I don't have to patronize.
A wrong has been done here. Somebody should be held accountable.
Now, did I do well? I wanted to call you out of your name, characterize your intelligence despite not really knowing but I will not.
Have a great day, Massa.

EKN Trackside: 2012 Rotax Grand Finals Wednesday Practice / Qualifying
Complete coverage can be found at
EKN Event Page
Zachary Claman-Demelo qualified sixth in the Junior Max category
(Photo: Gregory Lussier - babelphotos.ca)
The Rotax Grand Finals finally put in its first official timed session today when qualifying capped off the third day of on-track action. Held at the Kartodromo Internacional Algarve in Portimao, Portugal, this global karting event has brought together drivers from over 40 countries and, as it stands, it looks like Team Canada has presented a formidable force for this years edition. After a final morning practice run, it was time for all the Rotax Grand Final racers to take part in their lone qualifying sessions, setting the grids for the subsequent heat races, which will take place on Thursday and Friday. The qualifying sessions were 15-minute affairs and would finally give the paddock a true look at who would be the players in Saturdays battle.
Up first were the Junior Max drivers and the field was once again broken into two groups, odd and even numbered karts. With clear skies, but a stiff wind blowing into their faces coming down the long kinked frontshute, the odd numbered karts were the initial karts on-course. Many of the racers elected to remain in the pit lane during the opening stages of the 15-minute outing, seeking to get some space on-course while at the same time saving their tires with shorter runs.
Among the Canadian contingent, Parker Thompson was the early pacesetter, sitting just outside the top-10. The Alberta native, however, kept working on finding a fast lap, and when the checkered flag had waved he had worked his way up to seventh. Quebecs Zacharie Scalzo never found the true flying lap he had desired, ultimately crossing the line in 23rd. Out-front, Portugals Bruno Borlido ended the session with the quickest lap, despite a late challenge by Austria's Thomas Preining.
When the even numbered Junior karts rolled out for their qualifying run, like the earlier session, several drivers elected to stay in the pit lane for the first few minutes. Canadians Zachary Claman DeMelo and Tommy Lemaire-Ouellet promptly made the most of this strategy. DeMelo immediately jumped up to second on his first flying lap, while Lemaire-Ouellet was just outside of the top-10. Given many of the racers had gone out late, it was not surprising that the final three minutes witnessed the top of the speed charts constantly changing. In the end, Great Britain's Harry Webb was quickest, just edging the Netherland's Stefano Galen. Claman-DeMelo turned his best lap on his final tour, securing third place in the group, while Lemaire-Ouellet did the same, earning the 10th best time in the session.
Combining the two groups together to form the final Junior qualifying order, Borlido captured the pole position, ahead of Webb, Preining, Van Galen and Great Britain's Josh White. Team Canada positioned for some strong runs in the Heat races, with Claman DeMelo in sixth overall, besting Thompson in 12th, Lemaire-Ouellet in 23rd, and Scalzo in 38th.

Fast Lap:
Practice #4 1:02.582 (3rd odd number group)
Qualifying 1:02.496 (7th odd number group / 12th overall)
The morning practice run was solid for Thompson, as they continued to dial in their Birel. In qualifying, Parker told EKN.ca that he simply struggled to get in that magic lap and that hes just really disappointed with his performance. He believes that they have a great kart for the heat races, having really dialed in the chassis. While the kart was quick, he battled in qualifying to get the right timing on his competitors when attempting draft passes on the straightaway, either catching drivers too quickly (before the frontshute kink) or too late to make a move into turn one. He was able to put down a good lap near the end of his qualifying run, turning a 1:02.496 to sit seventh in his group, and 12th overall. With a strong set-up and a row three starting spot for his heats, Thompson will be focused on good starts and smart racing when the heats get started on Thursday morning.

Qualifying 1:02.823 (22nd odd number group / 38th overall)
As a driver attending his first major event and first Rotax Grand Finals, Scalzo is doing his best to take everything in and to use the event as a learning experience. In the qualifying run today, Zacharie told EKN.ca that he just didnt plan the session well, stating that they draft help he was hoping for just didnt come. These qualifying sessions are certainly evolving opportunities, as drivers need to make the right choices as they work their way through the field. Scalzo was not able to find any draft help, and ended up posting a 1:02.823, which put him 38th overall.

Fast Lap:
Practice #4 1:02.319 (1st even number group)
Qualifying 1:02.405 (3rd even number group / 6th overall)
Coming off the track from the morning practice session, Zachary Claman-Demelo was holding back what looked to be big-time confidence, happy with the set-up and feeling comfortable with himself and the racetrack. He was quickest in his group and ready to take on qualifying. When we arrived at his pit after his 6th place overall run in qualifying, Zach was disappointed in himself, stating that he would have approached the session differently. Claman-Demelo settled into a quick group during the qualifying run and they laid down great laps, but he believes that he should have moved past them and went searching for a quicker draft partner. Regardless, he is now looking forward to the first two heats tomorrow, knowing that hell be strong with a set-up he notes is really good. ZCD will start on the second row for his heat races, including two on the inside line. Its win or take all in the final anyway, and the journey to the top of the podium has only just begun.
Driver: Tommy Lemaire Ouellet - #146
Hometown: St. Jean, QC
Mechanic: Yves Demers
Fast Lap:
Practice #4 1:03.260 (18th even number group)
Qualifying 1:02.626 (10th even number group / 23rd overall)
It was a rough start to the week for Tommy Lemaire Ouellet, battling engine issues while he attempted to learn this challenging new track. Its been a steep learning curve, but also steady, as the young pilot has been quicker and quicker with each session. He was able to find a full second between yesterdays final practice and this mornings run, and he continued this incredible progression by dropping yet another six tenths of a second to qualifying 10th in his group and a stunning 23rd overall. Tommy was not able to get a really clear lap in during the session, and in fact, had his last lap balked by a fellow driver in the final corners. Hes making less mistakes on-track and should be strong in the heats, where hell start on the sixth row.
Jesse Lazare was quickest in Group 2 for Senior Max, placing him eight in the final classification

The Senior contingent was up next in qualifying, with the opening odd numbered kart racers facing an increasingly difficult headwind down the long front straightaway. With no Canadians in the group, the top-time came down to the closing few laps, with the multiple drivers who had elected to go out late swapping the fastest lap. When the checkered flag waved, Australian Pierce Lehane was quickest, in front of Great Britain's James Singleton.
With the head wind getting worse, none of the drivers in the second group elected to go out in the opening five minutes of the qualifying run. When karts began taking to the course and got in a flyer, it was quickly clear it would require a special lap to better the fast times from the first group. When the Canadian trio of Marco Di Leo, Jesse Lazare, and Bryce Choquer did venture on-course, they were quick to post a fast lap, with Di Leo and Lazare initially seventh and eighth. Lazare was, however, just starting to build speed, as with three minutes left to go, he took over the top spot. While he time came under attack late, Lazare retained the P1 position all the way to the checkered flag, edging Ireland's Charlie Eastwood. Thanks his best lap right at the end, Choquer was scored in 14th, while Di Leo end the run in 17th.
Combining the two Senior groups together, Lehane secured the pole position, ahead of Singleton, France's Alexandre Finkelstein, Great Britain's Harrison Scott, and the Netherland's Jordi Van Moorsel, all of which were in the first group. The top Team Canada racer is Lazare in eighth, well in front of Choquer in 40th, and Di Leo in 47th.
EKN.ca Team Canada Driver Paddock Pass
Driver: Jesse Lazare - #240
Hometown: Montreal, Quebec
Mechanic: Steven Chapman
Fast Laps:
Practice #4 1:01.737 (8th even number group)
Qualifying 1:01.274 (1st even number group / 8th overall)
Its been a strong overall start to the Rotax Grand Finals for Jesse Lazare, who had remained in the top-8 in his group throughout the day. This positioning continued on Wednesday morning, as he hit the track for the final practice looking to fine-tune his gearing after making a change heading into the 15-lap run. It was determined that yesterdays gearing was a better choice, which meant it was a successful test. Lazare was not able to get much of a draft during the session so he didnt get an aided lap time to push him up the charts, as was the case for the quick driver in the session, who was in the draft for his entire fast lap. In qualifying, he hits his marks and was also able to position himself to leverage his fellow drivers perfectly, drafting to a 1:01.274 to lead the even number race group. The time would put him eighth overall and will put him on the outside of the second row for all three of his heat races. It not going to be the best place to start, but Jesse seems very confident in his set-up and will only need to stay out of trouble.
Driver: Marco Di Leo - #278
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario
Mechanic: Leonard DArrigo
Fast Laps:
Practice #4 1:01.814 (10th even number group)
Qualifying 1:01.877 (17th even number group / 47th overall)
Torontos Marco Di Leo has done an impressive job working himself in to the front half of the Senior Max grid this week, slowly finding speed, balance and a comfort level with the circuit. In the morning warm-up, they made a rear ride height adjustment in an effort to improve braking stability, but the end result was a loss of lateral grip. For qualifying, however, Marco struggled to put together a good lap. Despite a kart that he believes has a pretty good set-up on it, he just wasnt able to link together all the corners as slower karts kept damaging any flyer that he was working on. With the draft being so important, especially with the stronger headwinds today, qualifying was very much a crapshoot. Come tomorrow, it will be all about racecraft once again, and well be sure to keep our eyes on Di Leo, as it will be a treat to watch him work his way forward in the heat races. Hes got work to do to transfer straight into the final (top 28 in points after the heats), but if he indeed has a kart with the speed, Marco will find a way.
Driver: Bryce Choquer - #222
Hometown: Langley, British Columbia
Mechanic: Don Choquer
Fast Laps:
Practice #4 1:00.953 (20th even number group)
Qualifying 1:01.745 (14th even number group / 40th overall)
Its been a steady progression throughout the week for Bryce Choquer, as he becomes more comfortable with the track and the handling on his Sodikart. The driver and his crew have focused on data, and Bryce spent a great deal of time on Tuesday night watching in-car video to analyze his lines and corner approaches. Choquer improved his time by two tenths of a second in the morning practice, and continued his improvement in the qualifying run, dropping another two tenths to post a 1:01.745, which puts him 40th overall in the field of 72 to start the heat races. If he maintains his steady improvement and can stay out of trouble in the three heats, hes got a great chance to qualify into the main events on Sunday.
DD2 Masters
Former Rotax Grand Finals champion Scott Campbell will begin the heat races sixth overall after qualifying
(Photo: Gregory Lussier - babelphotos.ca)
The highly anticipated fight for the DD2 Masters title commenced with the odd numbered karts qualifying session. Unlike the two previous groups, a large portion of the field immediately set about going after some fast laps. That being said, Team Canada once again held station in the pitlane initially. When they did start after some fast times, Quebecs Luc Sauriol and Ontarios Stuart Clark were immediately among those fighting for the top-time, going third and fourth fastest on their first flying lap. Sauriol steadily improved his fastest lap, remaining inside top-five until the closing stages. As expected, the final order was not resolved until the final few tours. Leading a French one-two at the top of the timesheets, Florent Lambert was quickest ahead of his teammate Guy Pansart. Sauriol ended his strong run P4, just in front of Clark in seventh.
Realizing the conditions were steadily deteriorating , the virtually all the DD2 Masters racers in the even numbered group went right upon the green flag waving. Former World Champion and Saskatchewan native Scott Campbell wasted little time posting a good lap, first going P2, then subsequently taking over the lead position. In contention for the pole until the closing stages, Campbell ultimately just came up short with the third quickest lap. Argentine Henry Martin led the session, besting Australia's Hamish Leighton.
When the DD2 Masters groups were combined, Martin earned the pole position, in front of ahead of Lambert, Pansart, South Africa's Cristiano Morgado, and Leighton. Campbell led Team Canada contingent in sixth, ahead of Sauriol in 16th, and Campbell in 25th.

Fast Lap:
Practice #4 1:00.471 (6th even number group)
Qualifying 1:00.198 (3rd - even number group / 6th overall)
With a strong baseline from which to work, Campbell has been slowly dialing in his chassis to hit that elusive sweet spot. They made minor adjustments each session to close in on the right balance, and in this morning practice session, they elected to run the full distance without a pit stop, essentially a simulated heat race run. A tire pressure adjustment was made for the final practice, and Campbells Haase kept getting quicker through the 12 laps that he ran. In fact, his final lap would have been is fastest by a couple of tenths had he not been balked by a couple slower karts. Heading into qualifying, Scott was relaxed and happy with his karts balance. As the timed session unfolded, his initial plan was to work with a couple drivers ahead of him in the pack, but they had trouble cleared the group, so Scott elected to drive through and go it alone. Running in clear air with no draft, he was turning consistent 1:00.2s and dropped a 1:00.198 to take sixth overall. With the draft being worth between two to three tenths of a second, Campbell is very optimistic about his chances. As the most seasoned Grand Finals driver on Team Canada, he also knows that its still a long week.
Driver: Stuart Clark - #417
Hometown: Campbellville, Ontario
Mechanic: Trevor Wickens

Fast Lap:
Practice #4 1:00.934 (9th odd number group)
Qualifying 1:00.634 (7th - odd number group / 25th overall)
For Stuart Clark, the morning session was the worst of the four, if only for the fact that the traffic was rough and he was not able to get into any type of rhythm. Early contact with another driver actually shifted his axle and caused it to rub the brake rotor, effectively ending the usefulness of the run. Prior to the contact, in the laps that he did get in, they were able to confirm their set-up approach, giving Stuart confidence heading into qualifying. Things didnt get any better in the 15-minute timed run as his Haase lacked front-end grip, making it tough for him to roll corner speed in the tighter turns. In having issues turning to the apex, Stuart was tentative on the brakes, which further hurts lap times. Mechanic Trevor Wickens is making a significant front-end adjustment in preparations for tomorrows first and second heat races.
Driver: Luc Sauriol - #453

Fast Lap:
Practice #4 1:01.047 (16th odd number group)
Qualifying 1:00.419 (4th odd number group / 16th overall)
Sauriols morning practice session resulted in a position on the time charts that was quite different from yesterday, much lower down the order. An issue with his power valve and a decision to try lower tire pressures hindered him from finding more speed, although the tire pressure experiment will be useful in identifying his set-up for qualifying. In his timed run to determine his starting spot in the heat races, Luc teamed up with Stuart Clark to work the draft. As Clark battled with handling issues (detailed above), Sauriol leveraged the draft as much as he could and eventually needed to pull away from his teammate in search of a quick time. Luc ended up with the fourth fastest time of his group, and sixth overall.
Defending DD2 race winner Ben Cooper led the Canadian contingent as he qualified fourth
(Photo: Gregory Lussier - babelphotos.ca)
Qualifying concluded in Portugal with the DD2 drivers heading on-course in cooling temperatures and the odd numbered karts out first. As expected, a good portion of the field elected to sit and wait when the green flag waving. While selected karts went out in the opening five minutes, it was until just before the halfway mark of the 15-minute session that any of Team Canada drivers rolled onto the racing surface. Setting the stage for what would be a strong run, Quebec resident Ben Cooper was immediately among the leaders, taking over the top-spot for the first of several times on his third lap. Things, however, were not going according to plan for Pier-Luc Ouellette, as he struggled to generate any speed, fighting for an unrepresentative place outside the top-20. Cooper remained part of the fight for the best time in the group and potentially the pole position until the checkered flag waved. When the starter signalled the end of the session, Belgian's Xen De Ruwe had gone quickest, just beating Cooper. Ouellette was classified 20th.
The last session of the day started with a mix of DD2 drivers immediately going on-course in search of a quick lap, although many still sat on pitlane content to wait it out. Team Canada utilized both strategies, with Zach Robichon going out early and immediately slotting his name inside the top-eight. While this proved to be the high of his run, Nicholas Latifi ensured Team Canada remained among the scoresheet leaders, jumping up to second his first fast lap and holding a place inside the top-five the end of the session. With rain beginning to fall as the final checkered flag of the day waved, Austrian Simon Wagner was fastest, ahead of Great Britain's Shaun Slavin. Latifi was a strong third in the final run, while Robichon ended up 19th.
In combining the DD2 groups, De Ruwe scored the pole position, besting Wagner, Slavin, and Canadians Cooper, and Latifi. Robichon and Ouellette were 38th and 39th, respectively.

Driver: Nicholas Latifi - #336
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario
Mechanic: Coy Arbour / Alex Vincenc
Fast Lap:
Practice #4 59.713 (3rd even number group)
Qualifying 59.338 (3rd even number group / 5th overall)
The day got off to a tough start for Nicholas Latifi, who has helped lead the Team Canada DD2 contingent thus far. After making a minor change to the kart that actually put the balance a little off, he was still able to turn the quickest time of his group with a 59.713. But the low point would come midway through the session when he blew his powerplant. This meant qualifying on a new engine, an unknown commodity. Yet despite the new factor in play, Nicholas delivered a strong qualifying effort and was fifth overall with a 59.338. When asked about grip levels, Latifi commented that even with new tires, his kart was loose. The cool weather here this weekend is certainly playing a role in minimizing the amount of grip being developed by the amount of Mojo rubber going down on the track. With this qualifying effort Latifi will start all three of his heat races from the inside of row two.
Driver: Pier Luc Ouellette - #343
Hometown: Terrebonne, Quebec
Tuner: Bolla
Fast Lap:
Practice #4 59.889 (10th - odd number group)
Qualifying 1:00.086 (20th odd number group / 39th overall)
After an evening that saw he and his mechanics work with Rotax tech officials on his engine and with the Mach 1 staff to get his brakes prepped, Pier Luc attacked the morning practice session to see if all this attention had provided him with an improved race car. They had also made some adjustments to the front of the kart to improve stability. The result was a 59.889, a lap just over three tenths off the quickest time set by his Team Canada stablemate Ben Cooper. PLO said that the brakes and the chassis were much better, although he is certain that an issue remains with the engine. Heading into qualifying, the plan was to make another small adjustment, see where they ended up in the order, and then head into heat racing in an effort to drive back to the front.

Fast Lap:
Practice #4 59.508 (1st odd number group)
Qualifying 59. 322 (2nd odd number group / 4th overall)
Ben Coopers program for this weekend is moving along with absolute focus. He has methodically improved his pace and is very pleased with his karts handling. They are now only making small adjustments to slow down the steering response. A 59.508 in the morning practice session made Cooper believe that a 58-second lap might be a possibility, at least a flat or a 59.1. When qualifying was completed, the 59-second barrier was not breached, and the pole went to Belgian driver Xen De Ruwe with a 59.010. Cooper flirted with the pole lap but was held up at the most inopportune time during his flyer, and was then forced to drive the wheels of his Mach 1 to posted a 59.332 on his final lap. This put him fourth overall and will give him the outside of the front row for all three of his heat races.

Fast Lap:
Practice #4 59.884 (7th even number group)
Qualifying 1:00.059 (19th even number group / 38th overall)
In the morning practice, Robichon had an up and down session. While he feels that he has the track down, he experimented with pushing his braking zones and subsequently began to overdrive many parts of the track. The speed was there, but it trying to find the extra tenth, he actually went backwards, laying down a 59.884 to sit seventh in his group. After comparing data with teammate Ben Cooper a new plan for attacking a few corners was devised. Heading into the qualifying run on new Mojos, the handling on Zachs kart was off with the grip of the new rubber, snapping loose at corner entry. This issue was multiplied by the fact that he was not able to position himself to take advantage of any draft, leaving him to go it alone, which left him with a time of 1:00.059 that dropped him to 38th overall. Theyre looking at a front-end adjustment to cure the loose condition, and they Robichon will need to get aggressive in the heat races to work his way back up the order.
