BOSTON, Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The IT Employee Confidence Index, a measure of overall confidence among U.S. technology workers, declined slightly by 1.0 point to 55.8 in the fourth quarter of 2012. Despite the small dip in the IT index, the overall level of confidence among IT workers remains high and reflects the strength of the sector as we enter 2013. Most measures of the index reflect little change, with the exception of workers' confidence in their ability to find a new job—which significantly declined this quarter. This online survey, conducted in October, November and December of 2012 by Harris Interactive on behalf of Randstad Technologies, included 275 U.S. employees in the technology industry.
"Technology workers remain one of the most confident when it comes to job availability, the future strength of the economy and their current employer," said Bob Dickey, EVP of Technologies at Randstad U.S. "For instance, we are seeing great demand for emerging technologies within the third platform, which includes cloud computing, social technologies, big data analytics and mobility. These positions require niche skills and cutting-edge technology experience. Another high-growth area that we are seeing within the technology industry is software developers, especially candidates proficient in the main programming languages, such as Java and .Net. The occupation has produced the most jobs post-recession, adding 70,872 jobs since 2010. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects a 30 percent increase in the number of software developers by 2020. However, we did find declining confidence in their ability to find a new job, which may reflect the growing competitiveness within the technology sector. Even amid a shortage of IT workers to fill available jobs, employers are seeking a unique combination of soft and hard skills and experience in particularly high-demand industries."
IT Worker Confidence in the Economy Rises Slightly
- Technology professionals' confidence in the overall economy rose slightly by one percentage point this quarter, with 34 percent believing the economy is getting stronger. At the same time, a similar percentage (35 percent), say the economy is getting weaker.
Nearly Three-in-Ten IT Workers Believe More Jobs are Available this Quarter
- Nearly three-in-ten (29 percent) IT workers say more jobs are available this quarter, compared to 27 percent in third quarter 2012. Less than half (46 percent) of respondents believe that fewer jobs are now available.
Tech Workers Less Optimistic About their Employability
- Dropping 11 percentage points this quarter, 44 percent of IT workers reported feeling confident in their ability to find a new job compared to 55 percent the previous quarter.
IT Workers Still Highly Confident in their Own Job Security
- The majority (74 percent) of IT workers report it is not likely they will lose their job in the next 12 months, representing a five percentage point increase from last quarter. A mere 12 percent indicate it will be likely they will lose their job within the next 12 months.
One Out of Three IT Workers Likely to Job Hunt
- A third of technology workers (33 percent) are likely to look for a new job in the next year versus 34 percent who were likely in the previous quarter.

Survey Methodology
This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of Randstad Technologies from October 8-10, November 12-14, and December 11-13, 2012, among 4,738 adults ages 18 and older, of which 275 are employed in IT. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1 digital camera - First Look
You can show off in the pub
Limited picture display, terrible UI
Amidst the companies exhibiting at IFA 2009, many shared a common ambition - 3D. Most pushed out 3D televisions, and a few projectors were shown, but Fujifilm took a slightly different slant on the emergent technology.
Instead of just displaying 3D images, Fujifilm is working on helping you create them yourself with its 3D camera. A pair of lenses combine with a filtered TFT display to allow you to take pictures that show depth.
There's one catch. You can't see the pictures in 3D when you take them off the camera. Actually, that's not 100% true - you can see them if you buy Fuji's special 3D photo frame. But the majority of budding 3D photographers will be unable to display their work without recombining the pictures using PC software.
Specs-wise, the W1 3D seems okay on paper. Two 10-megapixel CCD sensors, the ability to shoot in 2D or 3D stills mode, the ability to take 2D or 3D AVI video, and ISO going between 100 and 1600. There's very little internal memory, but there's an SDHC slot for pumping that up.
We weren't to get a good look at the quality of the images displayed, because we didn't get the chance to hook it up to a computer. However, it was adequate enough to display on the camera's LCD display, and the pictures displayed on the accompanying picture frame seemed good enough.
The build quality of the camera is adequate - it feels a little plasticky, but doesn't give the impression that it'll break under continued use. The front slider, in particular, seems solid enough. A sleek black finish definitely attracts fingerprints, as you can see in the pictures.
When shooting in 3D, we did come across the problem that the camera needs adequate depth of field to properly convey 3D. If you take pictures of something on a table, it won't jump out at you - you need to get some more distant background in shot too for the full effect.
And while we're picking holes, the menu system and UI seemed dreadful. Even allowing for the fact that it was in German (which we're not too fluent in) it seemed confusing, clunky, slow, and more like a beta product than anything finished.
First Impressions
From our brief play with the W1 3D on Fujifilm's IFA stand, it seems like it's a proof of concept, and a novelty, rather than a serious piece of hardware.
If you don't buy the accompanying 3D photo frame, then it's effectively a very expensive, heavy and bulky mid-range compact camera. You can't mail those 3D pictures to your relatives, nor can you display them anywhere other than on the screen of the device itself.
Although the idea behind the W1 3D is intriguing, until 3D becomes integrated into the displays in our houses and offices it seems barely worth considering. Chalk this one up as an experiment, not a real product until we can be further convinced when we get a full review unit to play with.

Cannon Beach Local History
Just prior to selling His Cannon Beach Lumber Company to Lumbermen's, Ken Clark staged this photo shoot. Ten steps to your immediate left was the entry door you see in the background. Ken re-structured the old Cannon Beach Lumber building much as you see it today. He operated it as Clark's Restaurant, now the Lumberyard Rotisserie and Grill. Front row, left to right: Tim Davis, Jesse French, Ron Velleitini, Mike Balzer, Laurie Beers, Ken Clark, Ab Childres, Sam Absher, Scott Rekate, Russ Taggard, Roger Swynenburg, Mike Capper. Back row, left to right: Ed Beers, Mike Elliot, Ken Hardy, Peter Lindsey.
The group gathered here poses in front of the cannon, actually a "carronade," from the wreck of the U.S.S. Shark. In 1846 the ship perished at the mouth of the Columbia. Bill Luce, a mounted postal carrier, discovered the cannon near the Austin House in 1898. Residents began referring to the location as Cannon Beach, a name applied to the first local post office at Arch Cape.
A wagon trip from Seaside to Cannon Beach required a stout constitution. The road, a quagmire in winter, followed old trail courses. A four-horse stage or buckboard forded the Necanicum River, stopped at what was called Halfway House to water the horses, then continued up Tillamook Head to the north bank of Elk Creek. At low tide the wagon continued south on the beach. On the narrow Elk Creek Toll Road pictured here, wagons meeting on the track generally dismantled teams to expedite passage.
Les Ordway termed this era "The bow and arrow days of logging." The finest Sitka Spruce trees in the world, 12-20 growth rings per inch, were harvested from forests adjacent to Cannon Beach.
The Clark and Wilson Lumber Company operated extensive logging railroads in our corner of Northwest Oregon. Formerly the Portland and Southwestern Railroad, the tracks and roadbeds traversed the rugged timber lands in our region until 1944. Crown Zellerbach bought the operation at that time and converted to trucks. The P&SW used a very old 1860's vintage 4-4-0 in its early years, apparently as late as 1918. Between 1910 and 1918 the P&SW ran a 2-6-6-2 Mallet steam engine of significant size in its logging.
The Cannon Beach Hotel, formerly Hotel Bill, sat on the site of the current Cannon Beach Conference Center. The structure was fashioned from logs washed ashore from a log raft. Mr. Woodrow Wilson, on the campaign trail, arrived as a surprise guest in 1914, causing a great stir of excitement.
The sands of Cannon Beach historically provided access to the shore front homesteads, hotels, and residences south to Arch Cape. Horse drawn and motorized transportation made passage possible prior to road construction. Certain dangers inhered in this mode of travel. Unwary motorists frequently lodged their automobiles in soft sands at low tide, only to find returning ocean surf engulfing their vehicles.
A primitive shelf carved at the base of Hug Point facilitated traffic movement around this headland. One traveled only during low tides on this track. Waves at high tide washed over the rock road and imperiled the foolhardy.
Grand stands of Sitka Spruce fell on Tillamook Head after the First World War. Crown Willamette Paper Company constructed a logging camp just south of the Cannon Beach Junction. Evidence of the old elevated railroad roadbed can still be glimpsed in the wetlands adjacent to Highway 101. Railroad lines snaked over Tillamook Head from the camp's round house. Harvested timber rode the rails out of the forest to be milled and transported.
The waves and sea conditions off the Oregon Coast and Columbia River are some of the roughest and most dangerous in the world. Shipwrecks in this area occurred so frequently that the region was dubbed "the graveyard of the Pacific." Maritime officials hoped a lighthouse would mitigate these tragedies. Construction began in 1879. The project commenced with a drowning. Huge seas engulfed the offshore rock, drowning the engineer and halting work. Finally completed in 1881, The Tillamook Rock Lighthouse represents a remarkable testament to the tenacity and fortitude of those involved in the project. "Terrible Tilly" underwent deactivation in September l957.
These arm-linked ladies, carefree and fetching, are members of the Glisan-Minott-Flanders-Lewis Families enjoying a day near Chapman Point. Visitors to Ecola State Park can thank them for making the park available to the State of Oregon. The state's first Superintendent of Parks, Samuel Boardman said "We have had many gifts of a recreational nature, but never one that so involved pure sacrifice of such a beautiful setting and lovely houses."
The log truck with the circle "K" belonged to Kling Logging, operating in our area in the l940's. The gentleman near the truck is John Goodyard.

'I have decided to move on with my life without Mario': Ramona Singer concedes her 21-year marriage is over after pictures emerge of husband with young 'mistress'
Ramona Singer resolutely denied her marriage was in trouble during Tuesday night's reunion episode of Real Housewives of New York.
But the 57-year-old Real Housewives Of New York City has now revealed she has split from her husband of more than 20 years.
In a statement posted on Twitter on Thursday, she wrote: 'I have decided to move on with my life without Mario. I tried my best to make my marriage work. I am excited for the new chapter in my life.'
Scroll down for video
It's over: Ramona Singer, pictured here during part two of The Real Housewives Of New York reunion special, has split from her husband
The annoucment comes just a day after pictures of her 60-year-old husband Mario and his alleged mistress Kasey Dexter appeared in In Touch magazine.
The snap, taken on Saturday, showed Mario with the Hamptons socialite, 32, enjoying brunch at Manhattan's Anassa Taverna in New York City.
Apparently on that very day, Ramona changed her Facebook cover photo from one of her with Mario and their 19-year-old daughter Avery to a picture of just her and Avery.
And according to In Touch, Mario and Kasey were seen enjoying a romantic stroll together in Montauk, Long Island on July 27.
Caught on camera: Mario Singer was pictured with alleged mistress Kasey Dexter on Saturday having brunch in NYC
Hand in hand: The pair left the restaurant looking every bit the couple
'Once again,' a source told the publication, 'Mario made a fool out of Ramona.'
The reality star couple's marriage
woes have made headlines in recent times.
After rumours of Mario's infidelity emerged, a report claimed that Mario and Ramona had their attorney send Kasey a cease and desist letter.
The legal warning told the fitness guru not to contact them 'in any manner, fashion, or form… in person, telephonically, electronically, by mail or by any other means,' as reported on RadarOnline.
Over: Ramona, pictured early last month in NYC, was married to Mario for more than 20 years
According to Life & Style, Ramona had her lawyer threaten the Kasey with jail time after allegedly receiving 'unsolicited lewd, lascivious and salacious messages.'
Ramona originally filed for divorce in January after reportedly catching her husband cheating with Kasey at their Hamptons home.
in April it was reported that she had called off the divorce from her
spouse of 25 years after the couple sought help from a therapist.
Ramona stonewalled questions about her marriage during part two of the Real Housewives Of New York reunion special on Tuesday.
When host Andy Cohen continued to press her on the status of her relationship, Ramona deflected by saying: 'Everyone in my family is great. We're together now, but I have a daughter Avery, who I love dearly, who is 19, and because of that, that's all I have to say on the matter.'
Cohen persisted, but she became increasingly agitated and ordered him to 'shut down' the conversation.
'I don't want to take this discussion any further,' she said.
Staying mum: All Ramon said was, 'Everyone in my family is great' and 'I have a 19-year-old daughter, so I'm not going to go there'

The Yankees resurrected their season in what was a very bad September when they won a come-from-behind contest in Toronto on the 14th in 1999. Hitting two grand slams in the same game for only the third time in their history, Bernie Williams tied the game at six with his in the eighth inning, and the Bombers won behind Paul O'Neill's salami in the ninth, 10-6. Continue reading
History Highlights for September 11
It's tough to talk just baseball on September 11 since 2001. I'll just share that, amazingly, the Yanks just suffered their lone rainout yesterday, September 10, something they doubly experienced 14 years ago, as on 9/10/01, the Yankee/Red Sox game — itself a makeup date of an earlier rainout — was rained out. Continue reading
History Highlights for September 8
Game Two of the 1978 Boston Massacre took place on September 8, as the Yanks scored two in the first and six in the second, and the Red Sox committed seven errors in a 13-2 Yankee win. Reggie Jackson's three-run homer and a double, triple, and homer by Lou Piniella carried Jim Beattie to victory. The Yanks would outhit the Sox 67-21 and outscored them 42-9 in that set in Fenway. The Yanks won all four, and the series capped their comeback that brought them from 14.5 back to dead even. Continue reading

Review quote
For nearly thirty years, the artists that passed through the gates of Disney Animation, and even non-artists like myself, were influenced by the craft, skill, wisdom, writings and sketches of Walt Stanchfield. Roy Disney Walt was a kind of Mark Twain for us at Disney. He always taught with humor and skill. You learned to see the world through his eyes. I remember him one day encouraging us to leap into our drawings with boldness and confidence, "Don't be afraid to make a mistake. We all have 10,000 bad drawings in us so the sooner you get them out the better!" Sitting in Walt's class was as much a psychology course as it was a drawing class. One couldn't help walk away with your mind and soul a little more open than when you entered. Glen Keane, Walt Disney Animation Studios Walt Stanchfield's classes and writings were little distillations of the man: quirky, strongly stated in a genial voice, and brimming with a lifetime of sharp observations about story telling and graphic communication. Whether he drew with a ball point pen or painted with a brush dipped in his coffee cup, he got to the essence of things and was eager to share what he learned to his eager disciples, myself among them. He was grizzled and he was great and proof that there was more than one Walt at the Disney Studio that could inspire a legion of artists. John Musker, Walt Disney Animation Studios Walt Stanchfield was one of Disney Animation's national treasures. His classes and notes have inspired countless animation artists, and his approach to drawing of caricature over reality, feeling over rote accuracy, and communication over photographic reproduction gets to the heart of what great animation is all about. Huzzah to Don Hahn for putting it all together for us! Eric Goldberg, Walt Disney Animation Studios During the Animation Renaissance of the 1990s, one of the Walt Disney Studio's best kept secrets was Walt Stanchfield. Once a week ashow more

Booktrack Allows Writers Add Their Own Music and Sounds to Their Stories
San Francisco, Calif.
BooktrackTM, the company that adds soundtracks to stories, announced today that writers are now able to upload their own music and sounds using the Booktrack Studio software, and synchronize it with their own stories. Quick and easy to use, Booktrack's Audio Upload function makes it easy for anyone to create a truly unique, cinematic experience using their own text and soundtrack.
"Our users are already experiencing what it's like to create and publish Booktracks to make their work more engaging and immersive," said Paul Cameron, CEO of Booktrack. "Now, for the first time writers can use their own music and sounds using our cutting-edge technology, allowing their booktracks to be more personal and unique."
Last month, Booktrack announced that for the first time, anyone can access its audio library of over 20,000 soundtracks, ambient audio and sound effects to create and then publish any length booktracked story. Writers can quickly embed music, ambient audio, and sound effects into their story that will play in synch with the storyline, paced to each individual's reading speed.
With today's announcement, writers can further share their creative vision by booktracking with their own music. Users simply upload their .wav files to the Audio Library to have access to them. They can also access Booktrack's database of more than 20,000 audio files. Writers can then immediately self-publish their Booktrack title, instantaneously reaching new global audiences with their own text, music and sounds.
Users must own the necessary rights to any audio they upload and use in published booktracks. Any audio uploaded is private and only available for the user to apply to booktracks. In the future, Booktrack plans to make users' audio available to others and possibly even sell tracks to other users. Mobile versions of Booktrack Studio and the ability for writers to sell their Booktrack titles will be coming soon.
About Booktrack
Booktrack has created a new genre of digital storytelling entertainment. The patented technology lets anyone add a synchronized movie-style soundtrack-including music, ambient audio and sound effects-to an e-Book or other digital text content, with the audio paced to each individual's reading speed. This innovative platform enables users to create and share stories-on a mobile or tablet device-in a unique and exciting way, transforming the "written" word. Funded by investors including Peter Thiel (co-founder and former CEO of PayPal), Booktrack will change the way people read, write, and publish their stories.

Middle schoolers to build Cummins engine from 30,000 Legos
Olympic arenas, Batman and Robin, countless pieces of construction equipment, and even Mount Rushmore have all been meticulously sculpted with the classic building blocks of our youth, Legos. Recently, the latest Cummins engine joined the fray.
Cummins announced its Brickworld Build Team, made up of middle school science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) students and teachers from three Chicagoland area schools and Cummins engineers. The team met June 16 during the Brickworld Lego convention at the Westin Chicago North Shore hotel with one goal: to fashion 30,000 Legos into a 4 foot x 3 foot x 2 foot Lego replica of Cummins new high-horsepower diesel engine, the QSK95.
Introduced in November 2011, the QSK95 is a 16-cylinder high-speed engine built for locomotives, mine trucks, offshore platforms, power generation, and marine vessels. With an output of more than 4,000 horsepower, Cummins calls it "the world's most powerful high-speed diesel engine."
STEM curriculum focuses on fundamental problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. Cummins designed the project to connect the company's engineers with STEM students and their families to encourage them in continuing their STEM education.
The Lego engine will be made up of 40 different modules of the tiny bricks. Students and their families will also have the opportunity to create their own Lego sculptures.
In a statement, Richard Whitney, global employment brand leader at Cummins, said the engine will also be built at Cummins headquarters in Columbus, Ind., as well as on college campuses and at diversity career fairs throughout the year.

Recent Cap Cana reviews
"My family of 6 stayed in this condo for spring break 2015. We had a great time. 4 kids were very happy the whole time! Nicole was gracious and very easy to work with. She answered my multiple questions! Kids had a blast in pools and beach. Adults and children had great dinners at the Marina and close by resorts. Resort is very safe. Girls would go jogging alone without any worries. I recommend Anthony Perez boat ride and fishing on the 'Rich and Famous'. This was the highlight of our trip. Also, deep sea fishing with Mikes Marina. Both boats leave from Marina and very easy to walk to. We will come back."Guest: kelli Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: April 10, 2015View listing
"This condo was clean, beautifully decorated and had a gorgeous view. Owner was responsive, accessible and easy to work with. The grounds and pools are perfectly maintained. We met many wonderful, friendly people, including owners at this development. A supermarket, other stores and banks are conveniently located - no more than 10 minutes away by vehicle. There's also a mini-market, bank and other stores right on the property. Scapepark is about 5 minutes, and other amusements and beaches are close by. A biking/hiking/walking trail goes right through the property. Hoping to return soon.. Highly recommended!"Guest: Teresa R. Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: September 11, 2015View listing
"Condo gorgeous, just like pictures. Balcony incredible!! Wifi works and is reliable!! We were there in July, 2015. The TVS in the bedroom are bigger than the TV in the living room-they should switch them. The resort area of Cap Cana Marina is the most beautiful place you will find on this side of the DR. Absolutely stunning, completely safe! Need a car to get around in here-don't rent the golf cart; you will limit yourself. It's as big as Manhattan. When renting a car be sure to buy car insurance from the car company; they will charge your credit card an absorbent fee if you don't have company insurance. So buy Avis or Budget's etc. insurance (not Priceline's.) Shower does not get hot here -warm at best. Biggest problem was seaweed. An American who has lived here for 4 years said it's getting worse each year. The seaweed made 2 of the 3 coves unusable. Workers remove it, but their efforts were fruitless as the amounts of seaweed were massive-made the coves look like brown, stinky swamps. The smell of the seaweed is awful (like sulfur). Api Beach, a 4 minute walk away was fine because they put up a wall to block seaweed. This was the best sea swimming in the area as we also checked out Juanillo & Bavaro Beach, both of which were brown & full of seaweed. Caleton was closed.The pools are gorgeous and we spent most of our time there. This entire side of the island has a seaweed problem right now; it cannot be escaped by going somewhere else. We did not have enough washcloths, blankets and TV in 2nd bedroom did not work; Jill said she would send Denisse her condo manager, but Denisse never came. The elevator is broken and no one worked on it the entire time we were here-a small inconvenience. We were only given 1 key and 1 pass to enter the building but could have used 2 so we could divide up our group, particularly because the elevator was not working. The resort is classy and stunning-looks like a multi million dollar complex. Workers are extremely nice, and some of the absolute best meals we ever had we had right at the marina (ACQUA MARE). We'd come back & rent from Jill FOR SURE but not in July when the seaweed might be a problem. The condo is just stunning, the views even better, & Jill was really responsive to our emails, etc. She is super. Because of the seaweed issue, Jill even offered us a small discount off the agreed upon price. Highly recommend! WAY BETTER than all inclusive! So much more room!! It's tranquil here!"Guest: Kristy A. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 1, 2015View listing
"Cap Cana is just beautiful Hands down! We took the condo and the lock out apartment for 10 days. It is absolutely beautiful. Very modern, clean, beautiful furniture and very well kept. With this unit being on ground level it was so simple to walk out to the pool (which was foot steps from the patio) and the beach which is just foot steps from the pool. Every morning I would make my coffee and sit on the patio and enjoy the beautiful view and solitude of the property. Communication was perfect with Angela. Always answering all of our questions right away and being super helpful with tips etc. Having her Manager grocery shop for our family before we arrived was also a nice treat. Her manager informed us of all the great dinner spots and activities/ beaches to go to in the DR. I do have to say thanks to the great advise of her manager we found the most beautiful beach, Macau Beach. A half hour drive via highway to fresh grilled fish on the beach with the true hospitality of the Dominican people. Also, one of the best snorkel excursions we have been on was the Semi-Private tour on the Catamaran Teresa. Well worth the money and such a fun time. We will definitely return. This unit is the best in Soto Grande. Its location and convenience of being ground level is superb. We did have a cold hot tub on the patio as the heater went out. Angela was in close communication with me about this and was out of her control. It was ok because it was fine to take a cold water dip after being in the sun for the day. Fabulous stay. Thank you so much Angela."Guest: Janell F. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 10, 2015View listing

News Ichijo's Pride Manga Adapted into Live-Action Film
posted on 2008-03-10 06:52 EDT
Yukari Ichijo's Pride manga will be made into a live-action film that is set to open at the end of January 2009. The story follows two budding opera singers who go from rivals to "best partners." The film version will star Stephanie, a half-Japanese, half-Armenian-American pop singer, and feature Death Note's Shusuke Kaneko in the director's chair. The manga has been serializing in Shueisha's Chorus magazine since its December 2002 issue, and the manga's eighth compiled volume has sold 270,000 copies.
Ichijo's Yukan Club manga has been made into both an anime video and a live-action drama series. None of her works have been officially released in North America yet. Stephanie previously wrote and sang "Kimi ga iru Kagiri" and "because of you" for Engage Planet Kiss Dum, and she sang "Friends" for Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

Asian elephants can be tamed. They are often used as working animals.
Asian elephants look similar to African elephants, but with shorter tusks and smaller ears. These elephants never stay more than a few days in one place and have different habitants which are, however, always near thicket forests. Asian elephants live in family groups made up of two to ten elephants. Like with African elephants, the groups are led by an alpha female who makes sure that all members of the herd follow the group's rules. Experts think that elephants, thanks to their large brains, can empathize with other herd members and are able to retain information with ease such as the difference between individuals, memories of a drought or the location of good feeding grounds.

Relive the moment when Matt Kenseth runs down Brad Keselowski beside the haulers after an on track altercation in the 2014 Bank of America 500.
RELATED: Complete lineup for Sunday's race DOVER, Del. – A hard, steady rain at Dover International Speedway made Matt Kenseth 's life easier—and Kevin Harvick 's challenge even more difficult than it otherwise might have been. With a massive East Coast storm forcing cancellation of all of Friday's track activity at the Monster Mile, including NASCAR Sprint Cup Series qualifying, Kenseth will start on the pole for Sunday's AAA 400 , the elimination race for the Challenger Round of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup (2:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). The series leader, Kenseth already has earned a spot in the Chase's Contender Round by virtue of last Sunday's victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway . On the other hand, with the field ordered by owner points according to rainout rules, Harvick will start 15th in a race he almost certainly must win to keep his hopes of winning back-to-back series championships alive. After an early wreck and a 42nd-place finish in the Chase opener at Chicagoland Speedway , Harvick ran out of fuel while leading with three laps left at New Hampshire and finished 21st, leaving him 23 points out of 12th place in the standings, the last transfer position for the next round. Even though the rain put him on the pole, Kenseth would have preferred to have practiced on Friday, especially in light of the suspension issues that relegated him to a 39th-place finish in the May 31 event at Dover. "I think we all would have liked to get on the track today and get some practice," Kenseth said on Friday at Dover. "I know there are some things we wanted to work on and try to improve from the spring for this race. "I think everybody wanted to get on the track. I think it's one of the advantages of leading the points – obviously, if it rains, you get a good starting spot and pit stall. Glad we're starting in the front, but still would have liked the track time." The qualifying cancellation means the 16 Chase drivers will start from the top 16 positions on the grid. Denny Hamlin , who punched his ticket to the Contender Round with a win at Chicagoland, will start on the front row beside his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate. Carl Edwards , Joey Logano and Jimmie Johnson are third through fifth on the grid, respectively, for Sunday's race. "Bubble" drivers Jamie McMurray , Dale Earnhardt Jr ., Kyle Busch and Paul Menard , all of whom are within a two-point range in the standings, will start 11th through 14th, respectively. "We'll be ready; we'll be prepared and we won't start as far forward as we have here in years past," said Busch, who blew a right front tire at New Hampshire, crashed and finished 37th. "Typically we're a top-five qualifier. ... We'll make do." Busch feels his team's level of readiness coming to the track this season will stand him in good stead. "I think, for my guys, we've been really, really good this year of unloading and having some strong cars and some good speed right off the truck," Busch said. "I'd actually look forward to no practice time here. I think that would be really good for the 18 team."

RELATED: Full results from New Hampshire " Updated standings MORE: See the new Chase Grid LOUDON, N.H. -- Kevin Harvick clarified his championship status on Sunday -- but not the way he had planned. After dominating the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for most of the afternoon, Harvick ran out of fuel while leading on Lap 298 of 300, handing the top spot and the victory to Matt Kenseth , who joined teammate Denny Hamlin as an automatic qualifier for the Contender Round of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup . Despite leading 216 laps on Sunday, Harvick, the defending series champion, heads to next Sunday's Chase race at Dover almost certainly needing a victory at a track where he has never won in order to escape the Challenger Round of the Chase and keep his title hopes alive. Kenseth , who came to pit road for fuel and tires on Lap 239, triumphed for the fifth time this season (tops in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series), for the second time at the Magic Mile and for the 36th time in his career. He finished 8.941 seconds ahead of Hamlin, who nursed his car to a runner-up finish despite a late-race issue with the right front wheel. "It feels great to win here -- a lot of great race fans here at New Hampshire," Kenseth said. "We had a great car today -- Kevin definitely had the field covered and ( Kenseth's crew chief) Jason (Ratcliff) did a great job on pit strategy there, and those new tires paid off better than we thought to get up through the field. "And I was able to keep the pressure on enough and he came up a little short." The victory was the 13th of the season for Joe Gibbs Racing , which has won 10 of the last 13 Sprint Cup events. Joey Logano ran third, followed by Greg Biffle , Carl Edwards , Jimmie Johnson , Jeff Gordon and Martin Truex Jr . The only non-Chase driver of that group, Biffle posted his third top-five result of the season. Dale Earnhardt Jr . had a consistent top-10 car all afternoon, until he, too, ran short of fuel with two laps left and finished 25th. Earnhardt goes to Dover with no margin for error. He's 12th in the standings, the final position that will survive elimination next Sunday, and just one point ahead of both Kyle Busch and Paul Menard . Busch blew a right front tire on Sunday, pounded the Turn 3 wall on Lap 159 and was credited with a 37th-place finish. Harvick, who finished 21st and declined comment after the race, came to pit road for the last time on Lap 212 and couldn't squeeze the last 88 laps at the 1.058-mile track out of his fuel cell. Restarting third on Lap 243 after the ninth and final caution (for Justin Allgaier 's wreck in Turn 3), Harvick passed Biffle for the lead on Lap 252. Twenty laps later, Kenseth got past Hamlin for second and tried to pressure Harvick, who left Loudon in 15th place, 23 points behind Earnhardt in 12th. "Jason kept saying he (Harvick) was low on fuel, but you never know unless they really run out," Kenseth said. "I was trying to run hard, but I was trying to save a little bit. I got racing Denny pretty hard, and I wanted to save the tires a little bit, but I also know I needed to get by him to pressure the 4 (Harvick). "That was as hard as I could run. I was planning on running up there and trying to pass him. I just couldn't get there. Kind of resigned to finish second with about four or five (laps) to go there. I couldn't get much closer, and he ran out with a couple to go." Second to Kenseth in the standings, six points out of the Chase lead, Hamlin also acknowledged JGR's good fortune on Sunday. "Really, I don't feel like we were dominant today by any means," Hamlin said. "Yeah, our cars finished 1-2, but I'm not sure that we had 1-2 cars most of the day. "So I think we've been very fortunate with some strategies and things that we've played that's worked out in our favor. You've got to just keep working. That's the only way you can stay on top is to not rest."

RELATED: See who is in the Chase " Meet all 16 drivers CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Matt Kenseth said the race leader should not be at a disadvantage on restarts, and all the fuss about Saturday night's final restart at Richmond International Raceway was news to him. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver dominated the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond, leading 352 laps, including the final 103, en route to his fourth victory of the season and third in the past six races. Following the night's final caution period, Kenseth quickly pulled away from then second-place driver Joey Logano following the Lap 383 restart. Some, including Logano, felt Kenseth accelerated early, before reaching the restart zone, giving him an advantage as the field rolled back up to speed. "I really didn't know there was so much talk about it, to be honest with you," Kenseth , the 2003 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, said Tuesday during a Chase Across North America appearance at Charlotte Douglas International Airport for Charlotte Motor Speedway . The restart rule is clear, Kenseth said, noting that the race leader is expected to "start" the race at some point between the first and second lines (marked on the inside and outside walls). But when the second-or third-place drivers lay back in order to be moving faster than the leader when the race resumes, it puts the leader at a disadvantage, he said. "They want you to keep an even pace and take off somewhere in the zone and we all understand that," said Kenseth . "If you are the leader and the second place guy is two car lengths behind you because he knows when you're going to go, and this guy's on the outside of you and they get rolling toward you before you get going, I mean I'm not going to be third before I get to Turn 1. "The leader has to take some liberties to look around him and see what his competitors are doing because he is the leader, and he should not be at a disadvantage. "If the third place car is two car-lengths behind you, rolling toward that line because they know when you are going to go, that's a huge disadvantage for the leader. "As a driver, you have to do what you think you need to do within the rules to make sure you've got your car out front to try to get that win at the end." RELATED: How does Kenseth's pit crew stack up among top Chase seeds? If that means some believe he got a free pass for appearing to jump the restart, Kenseth is making no apologies. "It's not like I jammed the gas and left them 20 car-lengths," he said. "I think that you would be hard-pressed to find anybody, including the people that are complaining about it, to say that the fastest car didn't win the race Saturday night. I think that we proved that. When we had that late of a caution, I was going to make sure that I did everything I could to get to Turn 1 first." Logano, who wound up finishing third, said he believes many drivers would like a better understanding of how NASCAR will police restarts going forward, especially with the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup beginning this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway . The 1.5-mile venue hosts the myAFibRisk.com 400 Sunday (3 p.m. ET, NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). "Last weekend could make us look at it differently once again," Logano told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio on Tuesday. "What's OK and what's not OK? Chances are this championship will come down to a late-race restart at Homestead; or getting into the next round could come down to a late-race restart. … "There is always going to be gamesmanship but I think as a driver you want to know what you can and can't do when you're making those decisions for a restart." While NASCAR has put the onus on drivers to police themselves, the Team Penske driver said that's difficult to do, explaining, "We're race car drivers. We're not thinking about it; our job is to go out there and win the race. So we will take advantage of every opportunity there is." Seeing how far one can go before NASCAR steps in is only natural. It's not until NASCAR reacts that teams adjust and the process begins all over. "I feel like the other night the line got pushed a little bit, and it was OK," Logano said. "I think that will kind of show in the future where guys are going to go with these restarts. … Until we get clarity, we'll keep pushing it more and more; you almost have to protect us from ourselves because we'll take it to the extreme."
RELATED: Harvick confronts, shoves Johnson after race LOUDON, N.H. --- Joey Logano and Matt Kenseth shook off reporters' questions. Both Logano and Kenseth downplayed the post-race confrontation between Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick . The incident took place after last week's opener for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup at Chicagoland. "Didn't see it, don't know,'' Kenseth said, referring to a video clip that showed Harvick shoving Johnson in the garage. RELATED: Watch: Harvick shoves Johnson after the race Logano, who has previously had his own post-race confrontation with Harvick, was equally unwilling to offer an opinion. "I really don't have much of a reaction to be honest with you, I'm focused on my own thing,'' Logano said Friday morning before opening practice for Sunday's Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway . "It is what it is. That's what seems to happen in the Chase. Emotions seem to get fired up pretty quick and I don't really have a reaction. I'm not surprised. I'm not anything. It is what it is.'' Logano was actually in the catbird seat for the Johnson and Harvick on-track collision that precipitated the off-track situation. Johnson said his car was hit from behind by Logano on a re-start and that sent him down onto the track apron three-wide with Harvick. Johnson tried to get that bottom lane on-track back and that's when his and Harvick's Chevrolets touched just briefly, leaving Harvick with a smoking tire. A few laps later Harvick's car hit the wall, suffering significant damage and leaving him with a 42nd-place finish. Harvick took issue with what he thought was Johnson forcing his way back on track. Logano told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio on pit road after the race that he did not touch Johnson and wasn't involved in any way. After the race, the six-time Cup champ Johnson, still dressed in his driver's suit, waited outside Harvick's motorcoach to speak with the reigning champ about the incident. A video replay shows Harvick push Johnson in the chest and then him being restrained as Johnson calmly walked away from the situation. Neither Logano nor Kenseth is willing to count Harvick out of the championship picture despite the fact his Chicagoland afternoon puts the champ on the outside looking in with two races left to determine the top 12 drivers who advance to the next Chase round (the Contender Round). Harvick is in 15th position in the standings -- 22 points behind Gordon in 12th place. He was ranked 16th until Clint Bowyer received a hefty 25-point penalty from NASCAR this week dropping him behind Harvick in points. RELATED: Bowyer drops to 16th in Chase standings after penalty The defending race winner Logano, meanwhile, is ranked sixth in the standings and was very confident in his Team Penske squad, keeping Kenseth's Joe Gibbs Racing team honest. Since Kyle Busch 's victory July 19 at the New Hampshire mile, every Cup race has been won by Gibbs' four-car Toyota organization or Penske's two-car Ford effort. But both Logano and Kenseth noted Harvick's speed at Chicago. "I wouldn't consider them out at this point by no means,'' Logano said of Harvick. "They're still a very strong team and they'll be up there racing hard and trying to get to the next round. "If you look at the big picture, obviously you want the fastest cars out because it gives you the best chance when you get to (the championship finale at) Homestead. But I'm not gonna change or do anything different out there. I've still got to get myself there. That's Priority 1, getting our team to Homestead.''

Yeah, there was an article about how the practice players, that don't play in any games, make more than $5,000 a week for the minimum. So if the lowest paid players are making six digits a year, I think they can afford to pay for health insurance. lol I do feel bad in a way for the players if they do have to pay for the insurance themselves though, because they may only be able to have 14 cars instead of 15.
