We visited last night and really enjoyed the food. The pizza was yummy and the salad so fresh. Service was good with friendly staff.

I have been a huge fan of the location on Kenmare and Mott. Would go almost every week while living in that neighborhood. Was delighted to find that they were opening up one in the east village. This one is much larger and has a decent layout. The food however was no where near as good. The pizza is close to the original L'asso but multiple plates (carbonara, steak, some salads) were pretty disappointing. On one occasion our waiter was kind enough to give us a free pizza since we didn't eat our poorly cooked meals. Pains me to see this one doing so badly.

Lasso in the EV is good. Relaxed spot, good atmosphere. Only serves beer and wine, but that is the only downside. Food is great. The previous poster who said they tack on 25% is confused. I have been here ~ 20 times as I live in the neighborhood, and there is definitely no extra charge.

The pizza here was lame, tasteless dough....and think twice about the tip you leave - they sneak on a 25% service charge. A disgrace to brand itself as offering pizza D.O.C. with mozzarella di bufala when it wasn't even close to the real thing. Service was kind but messed up in the end to accept an accidental double tip which was half the price of the food!

Analysis of the Southwest Regional at the Alamodome.
Monthly Archive for February, 2009
In the Friar pan
At first glance, it's not obvious what has damaged Providence's RPI so severely that, even if they are able to finish 10-8 in the Big East, they will need help to make the NCAA tournament. Unlike teams like Kansas State and Penn State, a cupcake-heavy nonconference schedule isn't the big thing crippling Providence. While the […] [Read More]
2/27 projection
Here's a look at the full projection to go with Saturday's paper. This year will not be nearly as straightforward as last year, it seems, unless a lot of blocks fall conveniently into place. From the 10-seed line down through six teams left out, things are very tight. Everyone in there can still play their […] [Read More]
Midweek review, 2/25
The Top 10 clash of the week was overshadowed Wednesday by a season-ending injury, while the big story in these parts Tuesday wasn't No. 1's loss, but a rescue mission in Lincoln. WEDNESDAY (2) Connecticut 93, (8) Marquette 82: While Jim Calhoun collected career victory No. 800 and his Huskies (26-2 vs. D-I, 14-2 in […] [Read More]
2/22 projection
Below you'll find the current projected field of 65, through results from Sunday night. No pairing off this week; we're still a long way from Selection Sunday. After a week defined by setbacks for teams at the top, you'll find the four No. 1 seeds unchanged. Much less straightforward is the other end of the […] [Read More]
Midweek review, 2/18
This midweek review opens with the lowest scoring Division I men's basketball game in several years. WEDNESDAY Big Ten Penn State 38, (18) Illinois 33: Even in the Big Ten (which gave us Iowa 43, Michigan State 36 last year), this is freakish. The Nittany Lions (19-8, 8-6, RPI 58) closed the game with an […] [Read More]
2/15 projection
Below you'll find the current projected field of 65, through results from Sunday night. The rule about not having two teams from the same conference in the top five seeds of any regions goes out the window for the Big East because they have six teams which merit top-five seeds. Two regions have two Big […] [Read More]
Saturday's quick hits, 2/14
Here's a quick recap of Saturday's important outcomes: Atlantic 10 Dayton 69, Richmond 63: No post-Xavier letdown for the Flyers (23-3 vs. Division I, 9-2 in conference, RPI 25), who continue to firm up their at-large profile and may be building towards wearing white in the first round. [Read More]
A quick look at Colorado

I agree 100% - this is the right way to distribute apps.
Like I said before, the only real question I have here is what *exactly* is Apple using as criteria for what they'll allow in. Right now it seems like the criteria is "Whatever doesn't hurt us too much, but if it does hurt us, we'll allow it if it's super popular like AIM. You know, basically it depends on how we feel that day."
About that 70/30 Revenue Split...
Make your app free, and Apple will distribute it via AppStore and iTunes for free (and eat the costs, see below). Charge for it, however, and Apple will give you the same deal it gives Big Music: 70% for you and 30% for Apple.
How does it stack up across the commercial space? What do other publishers/distributors take?
Retail? Maybe 50%. Amazon Advantage? 55%. Typical book publisher? 90%. Record industry? (Is there a number higher than 100%?)
Bottom line, out of its 30% Apple is paying for hardware infrastructure, internet bandwidth, software development, maintenance and support, credit card transactions and accounting, and is now adding in update notification, not to mention the unbelievably huge storefront that is iTunes and (will be) AppStore.
We don't intend to make money off the app store; the split with the music companies is about the same. We give all the money to the content owners and the developers here, and the 30% that pays for the store, that will be great.
Volume pricing will be the name of the game (or productivity app!)
If Craig Hockenberry of Twitterific fame is any indication, developers may have already figured this out:
Hell yeah. Automatic updates, handling transactions (including refunds, etc.), bandwidth, etc. adds up. People who complain about 30% have never dealt with the retail sales channel.

Nah, I think this will quickly become "have we seen this before". Otherwise you end up with 55 different IM applications. You will have to add value to what's already available.
IMO There are only a few apps that Apple will not allow:
1. VOIP over cellular. Jobs said in the presentation that VOIP over WiFi would be no problem, which kinda surprised me. Not that I care about this app, you understand. I want AT&T to build out the best 3G network in North America, and that takes money.
2. Jailbreak and related apps, including anything resembling a file editor.

Retirement Guys: Avoid the debt time bombWritten by Nolan Baker Mark Clair | | firstname.lastname@example.com
I, Nolan, watched on TV as the U.S. national debt reached more than $15 trillion. That is now a debt of more than $48,000 for every man, woman and child in the country (www.usdebtclock.org). The sad part about it is my two boys, who are only 8 and 5, don't even own a treehouse, but together have a debt our country has placed on them of nearly $100,000 and quickly growing.
Our elected leaders failed to reach any agreement in cutting the debt while reports across the pond in Europe are enough to make any investor wonder how far the ripple effect will go. As the global debt problems continue to grow, families can take one simple step to avoid the debt time bomb from going off at home.
Here is our country's current financial picture. According to the Congressional Budget Office, $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts are set to kick in between 2013 and 2021 because our politicians couldn't reach an agreement. Although that sounds like a big number, it is only about 3 percent of the projected spending. Knock a lot of zeros off the projected $40.3 trillion government spending during that time frame and the cuts are is like a family spending $40,000 a year reducing its spending by $1,200.
Cutting spending by 3 percent is a good step in the right direction, until someone looks at how bad it has recently gotten. Gross debt to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is now more than 100 percent. This means that our country's debt is now equal to the value of all goods and services produced in a year. Looking back 10 years ago, we were at 58 percent gross debt to GDP. Our country's spending isn't getting any better either. The U.S. fiscal year ended Sept. 30. This year's $3.5 trillion spent is double what the government spent in fiscal year 2000, according to the Treasury Department. Long-term, the debt picture looks very troubling as well. Long-term entitlements such as Social Security, Medicare and the prescription drug program could topple our country.
On the surface, the problems overseas may seem like their problems to deal with, but that may not be the case. China, Japan and the UK are the top three foreign countries that own our treasuries. Our government currently owes more than $2 trillion to foreigners based upon the most recent September 2011 report. Then there is the International Monetary Fund, which has been involved in many of the global bailouts. Their website states "The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an organization of 187 countries, working to foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic growth, and reduce poverty around the world."
One might think that with 187 countries, the United States has little at stake. Not true — the IMF uses a "quota" system to determine which countries have to put in the most money, based upon a complex formula. And guess who has to put in the most money? Yup, you guessed it, the good old United States of America. Meaning me and you are on the hook for a lot of the bailouts given by the IMF.
Remember, there is one easy way to avoid the debt time bomb from going off at your home and that is to pay off and stay out of debt. I know, it is boring and it can take some hard work to accomplish. I, like many Americans, have gotten better in 2011, but keep pushing forward, eliminate more debt and build up reserves.
If you eliminated all of your debts, how much would you have left over each month to spend or save the way you wanted?

Courtesy: Erie Otters
Mississauga, ON – The Erie Otters were firing on all cylinders Monday afternoon as Oscar Dansk recorded his 2nd straight shutout in a 7-0 Canadian Thanksgiving day victory over the Mississauga Steelheads.
The Otters defense held the Steelheads to just 17 shots on goal, making it an easier night for the Swedish net minder who stopped each shot faced. The seven goals scored is the Otters largest margin of victory on the season.
Dane Fox kicked off the scoring just 31 seconds into the game when he rifled a wrist shot over the glove of Mississauga goalie Spencer Martin. Dane Fox wasn't done in the first period as he blasted home a one-timer on the power play to send the Otters into the first break with a 2-0 lead.
The second period wasn't much better for Mississauga goaltenders as the Otters got goals 16 seconds apart from Stephen Harper and Joel Wigle. Wigle's first goal of the season would end Martin's night between the pipes as Dawson Carty came in for relief. Connor McDavid added his fourth of the season before the second intermission as the Otters took a 5-0 lead into the break.
Erie would get goals from Evans and Betz in third as they fired a total of 33 shots towards Mississauga goalies. The Otters powered on to their fifth straight win by the score of 7-0. Erie will be back at home Friday and Saturday night when the Belleville Bulls and Ottawa 67's come to town.

Might just be me but I find a LOT of iOS apps all look the same, so much so that I could blindly name apps and claim one ripped the other off without even looking.
Twitter designer finds Facebook for iPhone imitation decidedly unflattering
Facebook for iPhone, which previously took heat for making their Places icon a little too 4-squared, is now being called out by mobile designer Bryan Haggerty for copying Twitter's photo sharing UI.
Seriously Facebook? http://pic.twitter.com/0ifNsdY
Ok Facebook, enough with the flattery. http://pic.twitter.com/vSyHdpH
Though TechCrunch points out Haggerty was at LinkedIn when LinkedIn's mobile app looked a lot like Facebook. Twitter for iPhone is no stranger to flattery, however, as back when it was still Tweetie, it's "pull to refresh" feature was so intuitive it quickly spread to other apps and even web frameworks.
At a certain point, a "best" way of doing something gets discovered and for the sake of consistency and user friendliness, it makes more sense for that "best" way to become a standard. (See Lotus vs. Excel). Whether or not the Twitter photo sharing UI qualifies as something so good it should become a standard, we'll have to wait and see.

Twitter designer finds Facebook for iPhone imitation decidedly unflattering
Have you ever used the tools in the iOS SDK? Everything is made from built-in controls. When you have two apps that preform similar functions they are going to have the same form. They didn't copy anything. They didn't have to, the tools and the small screen push everyone in the same direction.
Oh my god! A text field and buttons! I've never seen anything like tha before.
Exactly....Someone needs to build a bridge!
Copy-cat is a very general term in the IT industry. So how can an app or a utility can be apart from this term. If an application is successful in the market, then each brand wants to have such type app and go behind to chase the same developers who made it.
Hold on, so a developer is suggesting that any app with a title bar, blank screen, and OS keyboard is copying their "design" ????
Cancel and Submit at the top. Check.
Keyboard at the bottom. Check.
Typing area at the top. Check.
Those are all no brainers. Apps that don't do that are confusing.
That's 90% of the screen. How can it not look similar!
Then you need a row of icons for your functions, the choices are above the text or below it. Most apps choose below it, even though it's between the text and the keyboard (which I think it's a little weird); while computer apps generally put them at the top....
Stupid article. C'mon rene, part of being a tech blogger is knowing what articles not to write.
Updated yesterday and is not like that. Someone help me
That can be nice sometimes, since you know what to do and where everything is
WTF???????? 2 BUTTONS aaaandd..... A CAMERA ICON!!! COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IMG!!!!! LAWSUIT!!!!
Cry me a river...... Bet that guy is British...
He's american jackass
Offended much?
It's douche bags like you that give us a bad name with the brits
Actully its the ones who riot that give you a bad name.
Actually I think you are reading that in the wrong way, he's saying that your comment is what gives America a bad name to the brits? Jumping in when you don't know the facts. You obviously don't know what happened with the riots, yes it was very stupid but it was a protest which turned ugly but you clearly do not know the full story.
Ok guys... you can do the same but changing de aestethics... these arent built-in components... its a flawless copy... i really dont care... but, its a copy!

Geology and Geochemistry
A team of earth scientists in 2003 reported the success of an experiment, begun in 1999 in western Washington state, that was revolutionizing investigations of surface-rupturing faults, landslide hazards, surface processes such as runoff and flooding, and past continental glaciation in the region. The dense forest cover in the Puget Sound area had frustrated high-resolution topographic mapping of the land surface by conventional photographic techniques. In an alternate approach, Ralph Haugerud of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and five colleagues from the USGS, NASA, and the Puget Sound Regional Council synthesized topographic survey data collected from aircraft by lidar (light detection and ranging). Analogous to radar mapping with microwaves, the lidar technique measured the distance to a target by timing the round-trip travel of short laser pulses scanned across and reflected from the target area. The narrow laser beam, operating at a typical pulse rate of 30,000 per second, was able to probe between trees to reveal variations in surface height with a remarkable accuracy of 10–20 cm (4–8 in). The Puget Sound Lidar Consortium, an informal group of planners and researchers supported by the USGS, NASA, and local government, acquired the lidar topographic data for more than 10,000 sq km (3,860 sq mi) of lowlands around Puget Sound.
The effort resulted in the discovery of many previously unidentified geologic features, including ruptures along five known fault zones, some of which were later explored on the ground to investigate the frequency of past breaks and associated earthquakes. Among the evidence for glacial processes revealed by the lidar mapping were two intersecting sets of roughly parallel grooves spaced hundreds of metres apart in the solid land surface and having amplitudes (distances from ridge crests to valley bottoms) of metres to tens of metres. One set of older north-south grooves was overprinted by another set of younger grooves having a northeast-southwest orientation. This topography was caused by flowing ice and clearly demonstrated a significant change in the direction of ice flow.
The glaciers that spread across North America and Eurasia during the last ice age were trivial compared with the ice postulated to have covered all of Earth during so-called Snowball Earth periods about 2.4 billion years ago and again between 890 million and 580 million years ago. In 2003 John Higgins and Daniel Schrag of Harvard University used the results of a computed model of the ocean-atmosphere system to interpret the geochemistry of the global, characteristic sequence of limestone deposits—carbonate "cap rocks"—that overlie the glacial deposits of the more recent snowball period. Previous arguments had assumed that the carbon isotopes cycling between the atmosphere, the ocean, and exposed carbonate rock would be in a steady state, which did not explain the unusual changes in concentrations of carbon isotopes found in the cap rocks. The new model calculations accounted for the changes in terms of an increase in sea-surface temperature, which affected the exchange between carbon dioxide and the carbonates that form the rocks. In the early 1990s, Joseph Kirschvink of the California Institute of Technology had solved the dilemma of how Earth could have escaped its snowball condition through accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from volcanic degassing and consequent trapping of solar radiation via the greenhouse effect. The new calculations emphasized the importance of the effect of high atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration on seawater chemistry and its relationship to the formation of the limestone cap rocks associated with the thawing of a frozen Earth.
Geochemical evidence from the deep drill cores extracted from the remaining ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica since the 1970s have transformed investigations of Earth's climatic history. In the Vostok ice core drilled from Antarctica in the 1980s, the concentrations of hydrogen isotopes in the ice vary with increasing depth (corresponding to increasing time since the ice was deposited) in regular fluctuations that are associated with climatic cycles. Mechanisms to explain climatic cycles also involve the ocean, but scientists had found it difficult to correlate time periods that had been determined for depths within the ice core with time periods recorded in ocean sediments. During the year P. Graham Mortyn of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, Calif., and four colleagues from Scripps and the University of Florida reported finding such a correlation. In so doing they clarified relationships between the Antarctic polar climate, air-sea interactions, and variability in the deep ocean and again demonstrated the important role of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas in past climate change. Mortyn and associates compared hydrogen isotope records from the Vostok core with their own detailed geochemical measurements of oxygen isotopes present in selected deep-sea sediment cores from the South Atlantic Ocean adjacent to Antarctica. They confirmed that the timing of the oscillations in both were synchronous over the past 60,000 years, and they extended the study of temperature oscillations through the past 400,000 years, using data from a previously drilled sediment core. The results suggested that during the last four major deglaciation events (ice-sheet retreats), changes in the temperature of polar air were synchronous with those of the nearby deep ocean and with changes in atmospheric content of carbon dioxide.
Uncertainties about Earth's internal temperature were reduced in 2003 as a result of two independent sets of experiments, by Charles Lesher of the University of California, Davis, and three colleagues and by Kyoko Matsukage of Ibaraki University, Mito, Japan, and Keiko Kubo of the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Experimental determination of the temperature at which peridotite in Earth's mantle begins to melt as a function of depth (i.e., its melting curve, or solidus) provides some calibration for thermal models of Earth's interior and for the temperatures and types of melting experienced by peridotite rising in mantle plumes. Results published between 1986 and 2000 had differed by 150 °C (270 °F) in the pressure range of 4–6 gigapascals (GPa; corresponding to depths of 120–180 km [75–110 mi]). Lesher and colleagues concluded after intricate tests that the differences had arisen from the misbehaviour of thermocouples (temperature-measuring devices) used in some of the earlier experiments. Their results indicated that the solidus temperature of mantle peridotite at the investigated pressure range was as much as 150 °C lower than usually assumed, which had significant implications for estimated temperatures in connection with mantle convection and magma generation in general.
In related experiments at lower pressures (1–2.5 GPa, corresponding to depths of 35–80 km [20–50 mi]), Matsukage and Kubo determined for the first time the systematic variation of chromium content in the mineral spinel as its parent rock, a type of dry (water-free) peridotite, was progressively melted. They compared their results with the measured chromium content in spinel from many natural peridotites and demonstrated that most of these rocks, which were known to have come from the mantle, had undergone more than one episode of partial melting. This supported the view that such rocks had experienced a complex history of successive episodes of magma generation and separation. In addition, the results of their dry experiments, compared with other experiments that included water under pressure, confirmed the generally accepted hypothesis that partial melting of peridotites originating from subduction zones (where the oceanic tectonic plates are sinking into the mantle) was accompanied by an influx of water-bearing fluid or melt. The source of the water presumably was ocean water that earlier had generated hydrated minerals in the basalt of the sinking oceanic plate.

Activist Post
Mark Baker of Baker's Green Acres has always refused the offer to back down when it came to the state of Michigan and the DNR ordering fines of $700,000 and the destruction of his heritage pigs - because they looked different. For nearly three years, the Bakers have been hanging on by a thread while pushed by aggressive tactics from three agencies - Michigan, the DNR and the USDA - which had embargoed and closed in on them, even threatening them with a raid and bullying their friends and buyers. While Michigan finally retreated, it doesn't change the situation for anyone else or arbitrary attacks in the future.
This compelling video recaps what happened, provides an update and encouragement for what we can do help farmers facing the same situation. Mark isn't just fighting for himself. See more below.
From Randy Buchler, publicist for Baker's Green Acres:
As a publicist for Baker's Green Acres, I am asking for your help. Their domestic family farm operation has been all but destroyed over the last 2+ years due to government harassment, threats and an unconstitutional Invasive Species Order and Declaratory Ruling from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
However, on February 26th, 2014, the DNR and Attorney General's office conceded that Baker's pigs are no longer illegal. Their reversal on their stance with Baker's pigs was a move to avoid going to trial where they would have been forced to explain their selective enforcement under oath. It also resulted in a ruling that there would be no damages awarded to Mark and his family. But, that doesn't mean it's over.
Now is the time to hold our leaders of the State of Michigan responsible for their actions. From the DNR to the Attorney General's office to the Governor's office, we have been let down time and time again. The elected officials and bureaucrats that are not representing the Constitution of the people must be replaced. The agenda's they are serving are that of Corporate and self interests, not that of the people. We the People have the power to change that, as this is an election year. But, we must act now!
Please watch this powerful video put together by Baker's Green Acres to understand where this issue stands today. If you prepay $25 now, you will receive a DVD of Hogwash The American Pig Tale before this year's elections. Just click on the "Buy Now" button at http://bakersgreenacres.com/. Your help is necessary to finish the documentary and to continue our work toward preserving our constitutional rights in Michigan. Thank you in advance for helping protect the people!Hogwash working trailer:

Peer to peer lending is possibly the oldest form of financing in the world, and although some aspects of it have changed throughout the centuries, the basic concept remains the same and it remains strong. Peer to peer lending is often at the forefront of helping those in developing communities around the world, as well as helping the world's poor get the leg up that they need. In modern times, peer to peer lending moved to the forefront as it became harder for some consumers to get loans from banks and as more third world nations began making their way into the 21st century.
In 1984, Mohammed Yunus founded the Grameen Bank (more info from wikipedia: Grameen Bank) in Bangladesh. This became a cornerstone of the p2p lending community and has helped thousands get the funds they need to start their own businesses and feed their families. Professor Yunus got his inspiration after watching the poor women of the city try to scrape together a living, and often falling prey to insidious loan sharks that took advantage of them.
Yunus started with loans to a group of 42 women in the late 1970's and his efforts gradually took shape and made history. Suddenly, people in this developing community had access to funds where they didn't have to worry about being enslaved to a loan shark. They were able to put these funds to good use and start their own thriving businesses, which meant that they could feed their families and find financial security.
As the Internet became available on a world wide basis, Kiva.org became one of the first peer to peer lending sites. This company operates on a non-profit basis and provides third world residents the ability to get the funds they need without having to worry about making interest payments on their loans. A similar site, Microplace, would launch soon after and, although it is technically a non–profit organization, investors can earn a small return. Microplace has the backing of the auction giant eBay, and remains a top choice for many of the world's poor.
In the for-profit peer to peer lending world, Prosper.com became one of the first sites that allowed prospective borrowers to post their requests for funds and set how much interest they are willing to pay. Prosper revolutionized online peer to peer lending, and recently announced that they were expanding into Japan.
Zopa.com is a UK based peer to peer lender that is now making inroads into the US as well as Italy. They entered the market in the UK a few years ago, and started their US branch shortly after Prosper launched.
One thing remains clear – peer to peer lending is a vital part of any society. As we continue throughout the 21st Century, there is no doubt that it will continue to grow and help millions of people throughout the world.

I'm pretty new to Time Capsule, but have been using Time Machine to back up my MBP onto an external HD for some time now. I know that when using Time Machine with an external HD, you have to have a HD specifically designated for this purpose (unless you partition it).
Does Time Capsule work in this same way?
I would like to use Time Capsule to automatically backup the two MBP's and iMac in our house while also using it to store all of our Music and Photos to be accessed by iTunes and iPhoto, respectively.
Can i do this? I've read that you can't partition a TC without taking it apart and i'd rather not void my warranty.
Other option i guess would be to hook up a large HD to the USB port of the TC, but i've read that this is not a good idea, plus its pretty slow being only a USB connection (especially for playing music).

Sometimes a change of scenery is good, but at the same time it may take time to get used to the new surroundings. Drivers have seen great success one year after changing teams, while others see the best of struggles each week out.
The one organization that has come around to having it's best year has been Michael Waltrip Racing.
Finally, the rewards of a season-worth of effort came full circle.
This year, two new drivers came on board. Sure, one has been on and off for the season, but his impact is certainly felt throughout the entire team. But, the other has also seen proven success with his former employer, and now can say he put his new team in victory lane.
Clint Bowyer signed a deal to drive for MWR last year, leaving his team at Richard Childress Racing. Many saw this as a huge gain for Bowyer, and at the Sonoma Raceway it all showed. As he held on for the final few laps, including a green-white-checkered finish, he has put himself in a great spot, winning his first race in a Toyota and for his new group of guys.
Sure, it didn't mean a win for any of the writers, but for the most part, each one had strong runs, despite having a few worries in the race. In fact, all but one finished in the top-10, with one scoring a top-five.
Take a look how much the standings have changed, or not so much, after the Toyota/Save Mart 350:
Billy Fellin (574) Marcos Ambrose finished 8th (2)
Sal Sigala Jr. (559) Jimmie Johnson finished 5th (1)
Misan Akuya (555) Marcos Ambrose finished 8th (1)
Kelly Crandall (548) Marcos Ambrose finished 8th (2)
James Broomhead (533) Marcos Ambrose finished 8th (2)
Christopher Leone (533) Robby Gordon finished 39th (1)
Dustin Parks (512) Jeff Gordon finished 6th (1)
Rob Tiongson (511) Marcos Ambrose finished 8th (3)
Kara Martin (508) Marcos Ambrose finished 8th (1)
Patti Rodisch (499) Jeff Gordon finished 6th (2)
Ryan O'Hara (484) Jeff Gordon finished 6th (1)
Michael Hirshbein (467) Marcos Ambrose finished 8th (1)
Next Race: Enough of the left and rights, because now it's time to get set for some under the lights action. There won't be any discussion of traffic trouble, congestion and frustration this year. Instead, it will all be about the action on the track.
Darrell Waltrip will be happy to see the Sprint Cup Series make it's return to his home state as next on the schedule is the Kentucky Speedway. A race that last year was all about fans not getting to see the race will surely have a different outcome this time around.
Writers, you only have one race to base results on, but it's a familiar track size. That will be taken into consideration as you make your picks for the Quaker State 400, which are due by Thursday, June 28, at 10 p.m. ET.

CVS to build new store on Alameda Street
CORPUS CHRISTI - The owner of a strip mall on Alameda Street is negotiating the sale of more than an acre to CVS, which plans to build a new pharmacy and store on the site.
The shopping center, known as Alameda Plaza, is on Alameda Street between Glazebrook and Gordon streets. It includes a Family Dollar, an H&R Block branch office and a dentist's office.
Employees of one tenant said they're in the process of moving but could not elaborate. Luby's Cafeteria, a former tenant, closed that location in May 2009.
The pharmacy chain is purchasing 1 1/3 acres of the shopping center at the corner of Alameda and Glazebrook streets, said Julio Dimas, a project lead with the city's Development Services Department.
The CVS would be across Glazebrook from the H-E-B, which also has a pharmacy. Shelley Parks, an H-E-B spokeswoman, said the grocer was aware CVS was looking at the property, and it plans on continuing to be competitively priced.
"Competition is a good thing for the community," Parks said. "It will make each of the stores better by offering the best prices to its customers."
The city's planning commission on Oct. 27 granted a deferment to CVS to build a waterline and its store at the same time. The process usually calls for building the waterline first, Dimas added.
"It's my understanding CVS is waiting to close on the purchase of the property before beginning any sort of construction," said Dimas, who didn't know when the sale would close nor when construction would start.
Frank Cotta owns Alameda Plaza along with several other shopping centers in Corpus Christi. He said he's in the process of making something happen, but declined to comment further.
CVS officials would not comment.

At the end of his first year at the Community College of Philadelphia, Christopher Thomas decided that his goal — to go back to school and get a degree — was no longer worth it. He was in debt from thousands of dollars in student loans. After class, he rode a bus an hour and a half to a suburban restaurant where he worked as a waiter. When the shift ended at midnight, it took him three buses to get home. He couldn't afford a computer, so in the middle of the night, he walked to his aunt's house and used hers to finish his class work.
He got seven A's and a C, but the plan was for eight.
Mr. Thomas was 36, living in a spare bedroom at his grandmother's house and doing much of his sleeping on the Route 124 bus. "I'm done," he told friends.
But he wasn't. A woman in the college's Institutional Advancement department, Patricia Conroy, kept sending e-mails about a $2,000 scholarship. "WHY DON'T YOU APPLY FOR THIS," she wrote. He won one. Professors spoke about his promise. Friends said it would be a crime.

Nintendo on course for 4 million global sales target.
The Nintendo 3Ds hit shelves in Japan over the weekend, but soon flew off of them, with the entire shipment of 400,000 selling out within 24 hours. Major stores in Tokyo reportedly ran out by midday on Saturday.
Pre-orders for the next batch of Nintendo 3DSs has already started, with the gaming giant easily on course to hit its target of shifting 1.5 million units in Japan by 31 March. It hopes to have sold 4 million globally by the same date.
The Nintendo 3DS goes on sale here in the UK on 25 March, and will set punters back £229.99, although some stores are already discounting the three-dimensional winner.
Before you snag one, make sure you read our comprehensive Nintendo 3DS review. And don't forget to tell us what you think of it on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 7 mph
Sharon Ann Ward, 59, of Granville, died Tuesday, October 18, 2011, at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH.
She was born June 10, 1952, in Miami, FL, the daughter of Donald and Claire (Hess) Foley.
Sharon was raised in Miami, FL, and Newburyport, MA. She attended schools in South Miami and graduated from Newburyport (MA) High School.
From 1974 to 1978 she attended Owensboro College in Owensboro, KY, where she earned a bachelor's degree in nursing. Sharon had lived in Corydon, KY, and Waitsfield, VT, before moving to Granville. She had worked at the Sugarbush Ski Resort, the Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce and most recently was a reservationist and hostess at the Hyde Away Inn & Restaurant in Waitsfield. Sharon loved children and enjoyed gardening and cross stitch.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6, 2005 The Pentagon Memorial Fund is expected to get a boost in donations through a series of online auctions offered through eBay that began Oct. 5.
The auctions, which will run through Oct. 15, feature a variety of items ranging from tickets to sporting events to golf packages to limited-edition renderings of the Pentagon Memorial and other collector's items, James Laychak, president of the Pentagon Memorial Fund, Inc., told American Forces Press Service.
All proceeds from the auctions will go to the Pentagon Memorial Fund, a fundraising effort aimed at building a lasting memorial to those killed during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the Pentagon.
Among items being featured on the eBay Web site is a weekend at the Indianapolis 500, including tickets to the public driver's meeting, the 500 Festival Parade, suite tickets and pit passes for the race and the victory celebration that follows.
Four tickets to the Atlantic Coast Conference football championship game in Jacksonville, Fla., also are up for bid, along with 11 museum-quality renderings of the Pentagon Memorial, signed by concept designers Julie Beckman and Keith Kaseman.
Other items will include tickets to "Disney on Ice," a Ringling Brothers circus performance, a U2 concert, the International Spy Museum, a driver's meeting at the Indianapolis 500, restaurant meals and hotel stays, Laychak said.
Along with descriptions of the items being auctioned, the eBay site describes the Pentagon Memorial Fund and provides a link to the Pentagon Memorial Fund Web site. Similarly, the Pentagon Memorial Fund site links to the eBay auction.
Laychak called that visibility a double benefit for the fundraising effort. In addition to bidding on auction items, visitors to eBay also can make donations directly to the memorial fund, he said.
The eBay auctions are part of an extensive fundraising effort that's raised $9.2 million so far for the memorial, Laychak said. That's more than halfway toward the foundation's goal of raising $18 million to build the memorial, Laychak said. The group also seeks to raise $10 million toward an endowment fund to maintain the memorial.
"We've made an amazing amount of progress," Laychak said, particularly in light of competing fundraising efforts to support relief efforts for the Indian Ocean tsunami and hurricanes along the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Continued progress depends on keeping the fundraising effort in the public eye and continuing to go after not just corporate, but also private donations, he said.
The Pentagon Memorial Fund, Inc., sponsored a tent at the Pentagon Sept. 10 and plans to do the same during the Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia on Dec. 3, Laychak said.
"We're trying to keep a presence out there," he said.

Our environmental action march
On 20 June, during the Rio+20 conference, we planned to stage an environmental action parade on behalf of 10 million Girl Guides and Girl Scouts across the world.
In addition to the young women who came to Rio as WAGGGS delegates, girls and young women all over the world are contributing to sustainable development by completing our Earth Hour challenge.
Make your move
You can help to power our environmental march at Rio!
Step 1: Choose an environmental activity from our World Thinking Day environmental activity pack.
Step 2: Complete the activity.
Step 3: Repeat as many times as you like. There is no limit to the number of activities you can do!
Step 4: Tell us how many activities you did, and how many people did them, by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com
Step 5: Feel proud – each of your activities will add another step to our environmental march in Rio.
We asked WAGGGS members around the world to complete fun environmental activites to add steps to our environmental march – as if they were there marching alongside us at Rio+20.
Unfortunately, due to security restrictions at the conference, we were not permitted to do a formal march. In order to honour the actions of girls around the world, we filmed a video of WAGGGS delegates steps taking within the conference centre, leading to the Tree of Vision. When we arrived at the Tree of Vision we recorded the number of actions taken by the girls who were not present, and which countries they were from.
One of our delegates, Ally from Australia, had a pedometer with her so we also were able to work out approximately how many steps we had taken at the conference, rushing between side events, negotiations and press interviews.
We worked out that from Monday 11 June to Thursday 21 June (11 days), one delegate averaged 12,363 steps per day. This works out at approximately 108km per delegate for 11 days, or an average of 9.8km per day per delegate!
Multiplied by the number of delegates (25) This equals 309,090 steps per day for the whole delegation, which is approximately 247km per day. 247km x 11 days gives us a grand total of 2719km! This is equivalent to us marching further than:
London to Istanbul (2496 km)
Durban to Dar Es Salaam (2702 km)
New York to Houston, Texas (2589 km)
Melbourne to Perth (2722 km)
La Paz to Rio de Janeiro (2707 km)
(approximate distances as given by Google maps).
We made a video to record the steps we had taken, where we had come from and the Countries where WAGGGS members had recorded their environmental actions.
Make some noise!
Make some noise wherever you are on 20 June! Get together with friends, decide how you will make your noise, and send a picture or video to email@example.com. Tell people why you are making a noise and why Rio+20 matters.

WASHINGTON, June 15, 1998 It's a bird. It's a plane. It's a new comic book starring Superman and Wonder Woman designed to teach children in Central America about land mines.
The book, "Al Asesino Escondido" ("The Hidden Killer"), was introduced June 11 at UNICEF House at U.N. headquarters in New York.
Brian Sheridan, principal deputy to the assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low intensity conflict, represented the Defense Department at the unveiling ceremony. He called the book a major step forward in the effort to protect children in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras from the threat posed by land mines.
The book is designed to teach children to stay away from mines and unexploded ordnance, to recognize areas where mines may be located and to take certain action if they find a mine. It also encourages children to share their understanding of the land mine threat with friends and family members, and teaches them that people removing mines in their country are working to protect them from the dangers of land mines.
Six hundred fifty thousand copies of the book -- 560,000 in Spanish and 90,000 in English -- were published in the second partnership of DoD, UNICEF and DC Comics, a division of the Time Warner Entertainment Co.
A similar comic book was published in English and Eastern European languages to promote mine awareness in Bosnia-Herzegovina. First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton introduced it in 1996 at the White House.
"From the Bosnia experience, we know that comic books are a successful tool to educate children about the dangers of mines in their areas," said Deborah Rosenblum, director of DoD's Office of Humanitarian Assistance and Anti-personnel Land Mine Policy.
The Central American book is 32 pages long, compared to 10 pages for the Bosnia version. The new book includes 24 pages of story and eight pages of activities targeting children between 8 and 15. To further increase the new book's appeal, Rosenblum said it features Wonder Woman as well as Superman.
Soldiers from Fort Bragg, N.C., conducted assessments in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras, provided background information and photos and recommended a story line to the creative staff at DC Comics. The collaboration, Rosenblum said, ensured accuracy and that Central American children would be able to identify with the villages, countryside and clothing depicted in the new book. Once the story and artwork were completed, the battalion tested the comic book in Central America to see if it conveyed the intended message.
Members of the Army's Special Forces, as well as the staffs of UNICEF, U.S. embassies and local governments, will work together to distribute the book throughout the region. Mine-awareness posters based on the comic book -- 170,000 in Spanish and 30,000 in English -- will be distributed in Latin America; similar posters were used in Bosnia campaign.
Rosenblum said a third version of the comic book is already being considered, to be published in Portuguese for the children of Angola -- which the United Nations estimates has 15 million land mines, more than any other country.
Sheridan called the comic books an example of successful public-private partnerships in promoting mine awareness. Another partnership between DoD and James Madison University established a clearinghouse and web site, at http://www.demining.brtrc.com, devoted to information to support humanitarian demining.
A partnership with Essex, now the Star Mountain Corp., resulted in "MineFacts," a worldwide mine database used by demining trainers as well as national demining program offices and nongovernmental organizations that routinely risk encountering land mines. Star Mountain and JMU also developed a demining support system to improve DoD's ability to provide training in demining, mine awareness and emergency medical procedures.
These partnerships are a key element of President Clinton's initiative to eliminate civilian land mine casualties by the year 2010.

Step 1: Find images and print them onto decal paper.
Get some bars of soap that have a flat face and measure to see what your work area is. Resize and crop your image to fit.
When you get the transfer paper, just put in in your inkjet printer and print it out.
Step 2: Spray some clear coat
Step 4: Dunk in water
Step 5: Apply decal to soap
If you want to be able to have some leeway and be able to reposition the decal, wet the soap a little bit first.
Apply the decal onto the soap and press out the air bubbles.
Step 6: Give the gift of love and happiness
Customize the images to your friends if you want or just mix them up and when your friends call to thank you you can try to figure out which one they got.
Here's to closing out the year with class and style.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.
– Meg Shea (Melrose, Mass.), a senior
forward on the University of New Hampshire field hockey team, was
named Offensive Player of the Year by the America East conference
on Thursday. Four other UNH Wildcats received conference
Shea was joined on the America East All-Conference First Team by sophomore forward Whitney Frates (Woodstock, Vt.). Junior midfielder Kara Connolly (Mohegan Lake, N.Y.) and sophomore back Kendall Deck (Bridgewater, N.J.) were All-Conference Second Team selections and freshman midfielder Melyssa Woods (Glens Falls, N.Y.) was voted to the All-Rookie Team.
Shea, a repeat First Team honoree, was a unanimous selection to this year's squad. She is ranked seventh in the nation in both goals per game (1.24) and points per game (2.94), and those numbers are best in America East. Shea has a school-record 18-game point-scoring streak in which she has compiled 23 goals and nine assists for 55 points – the program's single-season point record is 57. In addition to leading UNH in those three statistics, Shea has team highs in both game-winning goals (four) and shots (66), and she ranks second in shooting percentage (.348). In five league games, the captain tallied five goals and five assists for 15 points. She has scored a goal in 15 of 18 games with seven multiple-goal efforts and she has tallied an assist in nine games, including each of the last five. Shea was the only player to win back-to-back America East Player of the Week awards this season and received that honor three times overall, which was another league high.
Frates, a Second Team and All-Rookie Team honoree in 2008, was also a unanimous First Team selection in '09. She started all 18 games and compiled 29 points on 10 goals and nine assists to tie Shea for the lead in assists and rank second in both goals and points. Frates is currently third in America East in assists per game as well as fourth in both points per game and goals per game. She ended the regular season with a four-game point-scoring streak and has scored a goal in each of the last three games, including Tuesday's overtime game-winner at Harvard University. Frates tallied three goals and an assist for seven points in five league games. Overall, she has a point in 12 of 18 games.
Connolly started all 18 games this season and had a breakout year offensively – especially with regards to her role on the penalty corner unit – with 10 points on a goal and eight assists to tie for third on the team in assists; in two previous years, she totaled four points (one goal, two assists). Connolly tallied a career-high two assists in the regular-season finale, a 5-4 overtime victory at Harvard on Nov. 3. Overall, she recorded a point in eight of 18 games.
Deck, an All-Rookie Team selection in '08, started all 17 games in which she played this season. Despite her youth, she once again proved to be a leader of the defensive corps and was an integral part of the defensive penalty corner unit as UNH recorded four shutouts and limited three other opponents to one goal.
Woods immediately stepped into a starting role and remained there all 18 games. She was an instrumental part of establishing tempo and transition attacks for the Wildcats. On the stat sheet, Woods recorded two goals and an assist for five points. She tallied a goal and an assist at Davidson College (Sept. 25) and scored the game-winning goal vs. Fairfield University (Oct. 24).
UNH (12-6 overall, 3-2 America East), winners of four straight and seven of eight, begins postseason play Nov. 6 (1 p.m.) in an America East semifinal game at the University at Albany. It is a rematch of both last weekend's game (2-1 UNH victory) and last year's league championship game (UA 2-1 win).

Toro Line Trimmer
Easy to Handle
Ergonomic Grip
Uses Lots of Line
Best Uses
Trimming Around Rocks
I am 68 Years Old and considered a good handyman but the line installation on this trimmer is crazy. I have spent 30 to 45 minutes attempting to get line installed and then when you start it up it flies out on the ground. I would not recomment this product. Toro needs to repair these. I noticed in the store they have changed their design of the head.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Watch out for leaking gas
Easy to Handle
Ergonomic Grip
Best Uses
Trimming Around Rocks
Works fine. Starts pretty well. I like the ability to add extra heads (hedger, real edger). Don't like trying to find a replacement eadger blade. Biggest problem: on its second birthday, the grommet holding the fuel lines in the gas tank wobbles and leaks. The unit is unuseable. I have contacted Toro.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Trimming Fenceline
Weeds & Tall Grass
Bought it today and ran it for 2 solid hours (refilled tank once) right out of the box. I did do a break in for about 20 minutes. This is what we do with 2 stroke gas engines (50cc and up) on giant scale RC airplanes and dirt bikes to seat the rings properly.

I replaced a 20 year old WeedEater with this unit from a local big box store. The model# at the store was 51957. The 51954 is just a power head. The specs are exactly what CU has listed here though: 25.4 cc 16 swath, .095 dual string, curved output shaft.

I am trimming around trees, rocks, and along both sides of nearly 600 linear feet of chained link fencing. This trimmer does very well in tall grass. The .095 line I bought stood up to the fence much better than the .080 line the old trimmer used. This unit is also somewhat quieter, but I always where ear AND EYE protection when trimming.

The engine starts very well and runs smooth. I have short fingers and had difficulty blipping the throttle while carrying the trimmer with my right hand, so I rested it on my raised knee for that.

When it came time to install new line, I found the knurled knob, which is also the bump feeder button, difficult to turn. I have rather strong fingers, and this was no small task to wind the thing. I am hoping it will get looser with wear, and become easier to wind.

I was able to run the machine hard for over an hour on one tank of fuel. It is comfortable to carry, and have no soreness or blisters from my 2 hour initial run. The bump feed worked very well for me, despite the reports of some other reviewers. You really can't mess up the winding on this head except for putting more string in than it is designed to hold. The manual says 25 feet, so I put in about 20 feet at a time.

With this price point and a 3 year warranty from Toro, you really can't go wrong with this trimmer. I considered a 21.2cc Echo for about $60 more that came with a 5 year warranty, but I opted for the larger engine and bought an 850 foot spool of line instead.

Time will tell if this trimmer lasts the 20 years (new carb at year 14) that my old WeedEater did. The WeedEater needs a new piston ring, but the old trimmer is not worth the time it would take me to do a full top-end rebuild on the engine.

I like the fact that the air cleaner is above the carb instead of below it, and that the engine is mounted with the cylinder in an upright position (sideways when storing/starting) instead of upside down. This helps prevent fuel left in the crankcase from draining into the head and/or backing out the carb into the air cleaner.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Dr. David Horne Visits NY For Storm Relief

Thursday, June 10, 2004
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
The wind across the tarmac picked up gusty strength as Air Force One sailed in from the east.It was the leader of the Free World, borne to us in that blue and white ark the pulled up in front of the scaffold full of media people and VIPs as neat as a sports car. His arrival had also been heralded by the warming up of the engines on Marine One, the helicopter that would bear the Mighty Dubyah and his fair lass to yonder isle. Thus concluded our first day at the G8 Summit in Savannah. And to think, it almost didn't happen. By the time this column goes to print I will be in the midst of my final day at the summit, perhaps trampled and crushed beneath the feet of rioting protestors or merely trying to track down our photographer Zach who is also the driver on this venture. Either way, there will be more to this story next week, if the first day is an accurate auger. It began with mild anxiety brought about by the heavy presence of armed men. And armed women, too, of course, don't take me for a sexist. They began appearing as we entered the city, starting with a small company of soldiers going about some business in one of Savannah's many squares. Then there was a cordon of police officers outside the credentialing office where we only hoped to find the passes I had struggled so hard to procure at the last minute. The anxiety rose almost to panic when we were first met with "Credentials? What credentials?" But something about the calm, reassuring way in which everybody handled us kept the fear from taking hold, and after a short delay we were handed the holograph-laden, high security, more-precious-than-gold credentials. But, we were told, it was too late to sign up to see the President's arrival. Oh well. We proceeded to the International Media Center anyway, to establish our agenda for the next day and because we'd heard there was quite a party going on there. Free food, free booze and free entertainment. Now that's class! It's also a brilliant piece of media management. You keep those press hounds well fed and plied with liquor and they're less inclined to go out looking for trouble. Besides, trouble was being kept on the other side of town, in Forsyth Park where those "darn dirty hippies" were encamped. That was the other party that would be going on for the whole week, a party of protest against The Man and all his Minions. We made our way to River Street and hopped aboard the Juliette Gordon Low, a trim little vessel named after the founder of the Girl Scouts. Her motors revved like a chorus of car horns as she carried us across the Savannah River through a fleet of Coast Guard gunboats. After landing on the other side and clearing security, we entered the Babylon of our profession, hungry and ready to cruise right to the mini Waffle House and Krispy Kreme shops set up inside along with a highly recommended buffet line. But we detoured first down a hallway to find somebody to ask about seeing the other world leaders arrive on Tuesday. As we wandered down the hall, very obviously in search of something, a voice drifted up and spun us around with the message "Are you looking to go see Air Force One land?" Behind the voice trailed a little man struggling to carry a pair of boxes, in which were the passes we had been told were no longer available. That was our first lesson in the most basic rule of the summit. Nobody knows anything, so take nothing for granted. In minutes we had the treasured passes and were on a bus to see the President, me wearing a ragged pair of shorts, my "Alabama" Crimson Tide T-shirt and sandals and Zach with a half dead battery in his camera. Remember, we had only come to scout the scene. We didn't expect to be on that bus. But we went and saw and conquered the uncertainties of the situation. It was a good sign, and as I set here writing this well past midnight and knowing I have to wake early to go hear Condi Rice give her morning briefing, I feel certain that we're off to a good start. Of course, that's usually when everything goes straight to Hades. I'll let you know next week. Ed Brock covers public safety, courts and municipalities for the News Daily.
