The Amazing Spiderman follows a pretty successful trilogy that sadly ended five years ago with Spiderman's light fizzling out to a slightly underwhelming and forgettable Spiderman 3. Director Mark Weber (500 Days of Summer) has picked up the reigns and subsequently gone back to the start to deliver a new 'Amazing' Spiderman, a multi-dimensional superhero and a touching story that's as much heart as it is action. With The Amazing Spiderman, Weber's gone back to the beginning in order to really reignite the fire for everyone's favourite lycra clad, arachnid superhero. Yes, The Amazing Spiderman is pretty close to living up to its title.
The winning formula starts with a brilliant cast. Rhys Ifans makes a surprising appearance as mad Doctor Connor and proves this to be smart casting with an outstanding performance. Martin Sheen and Sally Fields become the quintessential Uncle Ben and Aunt May, winning hearts from the start. Emma Stone stars as Spiderman's love interest, Gwen Stacey, delivering a strong heroine, equal in intelligence and bravery to her superhero partner. This partnership is nothing short of electric.
The transformation scenes are emotionally gripping and impressive. Not merely spectacle, we see Peter Parker semi-accidentally beat up a carriage full of menacing guys, apologising and shocked by his own strength, in what is one of a few, yet welcome, subtly funny scenes.
Overall, Andrew Garfield is nothing short of perfect in this role, becoming Peter Parker by injecting a sense of humour and civility to the character as he grows into his Superhero alter ego and the responsibility it entails. In this film we see Parker learn lessons and battle demons, growing up on screen to become a superhero worthy of his title; ensuring audiences are one hundred percent on the geek behind the mask.
In Imax 3D this film transforms audience into excitable children, gasping in amazement at the special effects and carefully choreographed action scenes. This is an exhilarating film with a touching storyline and level of excitement that makes over two hours fly (or swing) by faster than Spiderman himself. Weber has injected life and soul back into this iconic Spidey superhero.

Prosecutors are considering whether to file charges against a central Indiana woman who told police she fatally shot her suicidal husband after he started to load a gun magazine saying he would shoot officers if they came to his home.
A Hancock County judge on Monday allowed authorities to keep 55-year-old Elizabeth Roberts jailed for three more days as the case is reviewed. She was taken into custody after 57-year-old Gary Roberts' death on Friday at their rural home about 20 miles east of Indianapolis.

What It Is
What It Is
Silverlit's Electronic Easter Egg Hunt is a collection of four plastic egg-shaped timers, each sold separately. Parents find a place outside or inside to hide the egg, and then press the on/off button. The egg gives sounds and cues to help the child find it. The egg will sound for 30 minutes. When the child finds it and opens it, the egg plays funny sound effects and congratulates the child. Also inside the egg is a non-removable character figure featuring one of the Jojo & Friends characters: Jojo the bunny, Max the dog, Maggie the cow, and Bud the pig.
Why It's Fun
Electronic Easter Egg Hunt is the classic Easter egg hunt game in a new electronic form. The egg's sound effects make it easier and less frustrating for little kids to hunt. And they'll love the surprise Jojo & Friends character inside the egg.
Who It's For
Electronic Easter Egg Hunt is for ages 2 and up.
What to Be Aware of
Each egg comes with three LR44 batteries. These are non-replaceable batteries, which means that you can play egg hunt at least four times with one egg.

Billingsley (1-0) opened the season on the disabled list after bruising his right index finger during a bunting drill on March 15. He held San Diego to one run and five hits in six innings, with three strikeouts and three walks.
Crawford homered to left field on the second pitch from Eric Stults (1-1). He tripled off the left-field wall with one out in the fifth and scored on Mark Ellis' single through a drawn-in infield to make it 4-1.
A.J. Ellis homered to left with one out in the second.
Brandon League earned his third save in as many chances, but only after allowing two runs on three hits in the ninth. The second run that inning scored when Chris Denorfia struck out but reached on a passed ball by A.J. Ellis.
The Padres have given up 13 homers in eight games.
San Diego's Nick Hundley had four hits to tie his career high.
Stults allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings, struck out four and walked none. Every Dodgers regular except Adrian Gonzalez had at least one hit off Stults.
Billingsley's only rough inning was the fourth. Will Venable drew a leadoff walk and scored on an RBI double by Denorfia.
Denorfia started in place of left fielder Carlos Quentin, who was hit by a pitch on the right forearm in San Diego's 9-3 win Tuesday.
NOTES: Padres manager Bud Black said Quentin was still a little sore Wednesday. ... After sitting out the last two games, Cruz singled in the second to snap an 0-for-17 slump to start the season. ... Andre Ethier has a hit in his first seven games this season to extend his hitting streak to 10 games.

This week marks Women's Health week, a good time to remind moms that even though they take care of others, they need to take care of themselves.
Here's John Lisk with today's Health Minute.
When Yvette Selby gave birth to twins five years ago, she started to worry about her children's health more than her own. She gained weight and was eventually diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. That's when she knew she had to make a change.
"I realized that I wasn't taking care of myself."
Her physician, Dr. Angela Marshall says Selby's case is not unusual, especially for minority women.
"Women of color are more likely to be single parents. they work longer hours and have more responsibilities."
Which can be stressful. Marshall recommends women get at least seven hours of sleep.
"We've all heard the saying a woman's work is never done. And if a woman waits until all her work is done, she will never get any sleep."
And get out and exercise. Just move. It can make all the difference in the way your body functions.
And get yearly checkups. Mammograms, sugar levels and blood pressure numbers are all important.
And finally, look for a doctor who understands women's need.
"Biochemically we are different, the symptoms we experience are different."
Today, Selby's lost 65 pounds and is off her diabetes medication. That's because she takes the time now to think about herself.
For today's Health Minute, I'm John Lisk.

During last week's third meeting of Minimum Foundation Program Task Force, the former president of the Louisiana Association of School Superintendents spoke pretty candidly about how he felt about the current formula used to determine how our state divides roughly $3.5 billion in funding among its public school systems.
"It's time we face reality. This formula has outlived its usefulness."
Michael Faulk's words may have been jarring to some on the panel since there are only two more meetings of the task force left, but they did address an essential truth. Louisiana's education landscape ...

SNAPSHOT: Literature should not be timid or fragile. Literature should be radical, flexible, evocative, provocative, and dangerous. The best literature creates an inviting challenge, because the worlds it conjures are too enticing to ignore.
Writer Connor Coyne, imported from Flint, Michigan, the "Vehicle City," "Greaseball Mecca," the "most violent city in America" has created such worlds. Whether the phantasmagoric university of Shattering Glass, the claustrophobic ghettos and lumber towns of Hungry Rats, or the weird universes of his short fiction, Coyne has planted his flag in a colorful, defiant, flagrantly imaginative literary world.
Coyne's work, praised by Heartland-prize winner Jeffery Renard Allen as "an emotional and aesthetic tour de force," by Michigan-notable book winner Gordon Young as "universal and otherworldy," and by celebrated Flint author Jan Worth-Nelson as "startlingly original prose," offers readers a visceral escape from the mundane into the harrowing.

200 Scientific Studies – Author's Note About Scientific Sources
In writing "100 Simple Things You Can Do To Prevent Alzheimer's and Age-Related Memory Loss," I did extensive online searches of the medical literature on Pub Med, the world's largest compendium of scientific journal articles, operated by the National Institutes of Health. I also searched the websites of individual medical journals, academic research centers, government agencies, medical professional associations, major newspapers, magazines and specialized blogs on the brain, neurology, geriatrics and Alzheimer's. I attended online Webinars and video conferences on the latest scientific investigations into the initiation, progression, diagnosis, and epidemiology of Alzheimer's and on promising interventions to delay, stop or even reverse its pathology and symptoms.
I interviewed numerous leading Alzheimer's researchers about their findings by phone and email. I also consulted many books on Alzheimer's and related topics.
The number of studies I have read and relied on for a basic understanding and advice over the ten years or so I have been collecting information on the possibilities of preventing Alzheimer's are in the thousands. They have provided much background and perspective on Alzheimer's research. It is impossible to list all of them.
However, here are more than 200 key scientific references that support the information in "100 Simple Things You Can Do To Prevent Alzheimer's…" Using these references, anyone can look up the abstracts and the articles by going to www.pubmed.gov. and putting in the name of the researcher, subject matter or article title. All abstracts, summarizing the conclusions, are free, as are some full articles. Other full articles require a fee for downloading.

The high precision NH-3SP provides non-contact 3D surface metrology, measuring
geometry and roughness on all types of surface with a vertical resolution of
1 nanometer and a lateral resolution of 10 nanometers. Incorporating an innovative
auto-focusing lens alignment system that minimizes noise, it provides accurate
measurements on slopes of up to 80° and excellent repeatability.
A strong correlation between the NH-3SP's measurement results and international
roughness standards (including NIST and PTB) means that the instrument is suitable
both for measuring surfaces with high aspect ratios and fragile surfaces that
cannot be measured using contact methods, and for measuring surfaces that are
traditionally measured using contact instruments. Numerous applications include
the measurement of LCD light panel dies, aspheric lens, dimple moldings for
screens, phase gratings, thin films, punches for narrow pitch connectors, integrated
circuit lead frames, hard disk drives, ball grid arrays, diamond abrasive grains,
and many other samples.
MitakaMap software is used to create a surface analysis report frame by frame
in an intuitive multi-language desktop publishing environment. Once a report
has been created for one measurement data set, all measurement data sets of
the same type can be analyzed automatically. Using OpenGL technology, 3D surface
topography can be viewed from any angle and manipulated in real time. The analysis
software integrates parameters defined in international and national standards
including the new 3D parameters defined ISO 25178, the first international standard
on areal surface texture, and the advanced roughness and waviness filters defined
in ISO 16610.
In addition to roughness analysis, comprehensive analytical studies include
depth distribution, bearing ratio, functional volume, 3D motifs, grains &
particles, dimensions, isotropy and directionality, spectral analysis (using
the FFT), and statistics. MitakaMap also incorporates the latest Mountains Technology
innovations, for example sub-surface analysis and the analysis of 3D surface
evolution with respect to a fourth dimension, for example time, temperature,
pressure or magnetic field.
"With MitakaMap we can see things that we did not see before,"
stated Katsushige Nakamura, President of Mitaka Kohki. "The surface analysis
software provides detailed real-time 3D surface views coupled with accurate
calculation of roughness, waviness and other surface characteristics. This is
crucial for developing the high performance functional surfaces that play a
major role in new technologies, including technologies for renewable energy."
"Mitaka Kohki's adoption of MitakaMap software means that users
of their NH series of Laser Probe 3D measuring equipment will benefit from all
of the features provided by Digital Surf's Mountains Technology"
stated François Blateyron, Managing Director of the Mountains Surface
Analysis business unit at Digital Surf. "Mountains Technology is continuously
evolved by a team of professional metrologists and software engineers to incorporate
the latest surface metrology standards and methods."

Little Reid, Big City #4
by Reid Faylor
You know that one Beatles song? The one about how it, gradually, over time, continues to get better? I think it's called "Back in the USSR." Things have been like that song.
I came back last Monday from a trip to Fort Wayne (Indiana!), this time returning with possessions (yes!) and my parents in tow. We spent a day fixing up the apartment, building shelves, hanging window blinds and such, and decided to see the Punchline Magazine 5th anniversary show. While taking the subway out to Comix, my parents commented and how adapted I was already –I could use the metro card with ease, find my way around, ignore the homeless like they weren't even people (well, I mean … ). I suppose I hadn't really thought of it, but I do indeed feel comfortable here –it's not foreign or alien, it's normal.
Being away from the scene for even a week was strange. It took a bit to get back into the flow, to start getting to the mics on time and jump back into the schedule. When I saw some of the other comics, they had thought I had gone back permanently. After a week. Or maybe it was just one comic. Who I hadn't seen in a few weeks. But that gives you an idea of the commitment of the comedians here: even a week off is equivalent to disappearing.
I've been talking to a lot of comics who also recently made the Ohio-New York transition, and it keeps coming up: it's strange performing for only comics. A lot of people question whether it's even worth it, if progress can be made without an audience. On one hand, I haven't really polished a lot of new material, mostly from the incapability to get a good "reid" (ha! That's my name) on a joke, getting only worn and bitter comedian reactions. Yet, conversely, all the stage time has gotten me a lot more comfortable, and I'm beginning to find more and more how I like to interact on stage –my mannerisms, method of speaking, timing. Also, it takes going through shows like this to get to booked shows with real audience members, so it's not all this way. It's a process. It can definitely bruise the ego, but I feel like progress is being made, if nothing more than getting comfortable with the occasional silence.
Highlight of the week: performing at a youth hostel for drunk, vociferous, and belligerent Canadians, and informing one such Canuck with a lip-ful of Skoal and sunglasses that his real problem was that "your mother threw away the baby and raised the afterbirth." It's actually a compliment, as I explained, because if he were a person –he'd be a terrible person. But for a living sack of uterus blood and placenta –not too bad.
Ah. Truly, there are reasons to keep with this.

The Asian region is the largest market for low power AC
drives, representing around 42% of the global low power AC
drives market. The growth is chiefly driven by improvement of
internal infrastructure and manufacturing operations to meet
increasing domestic demand, as well as to improve energy
efficiency and the quality of their processes. The leading
countries contributing to the total shipments of low power AC
drives in Asia include China, Japan and India. Emerging
economies such as China and India will continue to be the growth
engines for the low power AC drives market in Asia, according
to a new ARC Advisory Group study.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Council, residents applaud Robertson
During the April 9 Port Allen city council meeting, city council members and residents praised Lynn Robertson for her nearly four months as interim mayor following the successful recall election of former mayor Demetric "Deedy" Slaughter.
"When the task was asked of you to step in as interim mayor," resident Jane Harris said, "You accepted without hesitations or reservation and immediately began a job of making Port Allen a city for all citizens to be proud of again."
Gov. Bobby Jindal appointed Robertson following the recall election. Robertson had previously been mayor of Port Allen from 1993 to 2004 -- the first female mayor of Port Allen.
Robertson is the Executive Director of the Louisiana Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and is a real estate broker. She also serves on the Greater Baton Rouge Port Commission as a gubernatorial appointee representing West Baton Rouge Parish.
Resident Jason Hammack said, "You took time away from your family and career to work with the citizens of Port Allen, city employees and the city council on a view towards restoring transparency to our city government."
Harris said Robertson restored unity between the city's legislative and executive branches so that the city could move forward.
"With you as our mayor, we began to once again have a council and mayor who would work together and accomplish the city's work," she said. "And also how the mayor and city employees were able to do the jobs that they were hired to do. The city began coming together once again."
During Robertson's nearly fourth months as interim mayor, she signed into law a long overdue 2013-2014 city budget, spearheaded an update of the city's employee handbook and guided many other initiatives on track with the city's Master Plan.
"We've all seen your efforts beginning to materialize in beautification projects and business development around the city," Hammack said.
Councilman Garry Hubble spoke specifically of Robertson's professionalism.
"There was not a time that I was texted," he said. "I was called to be conferred with…to me that says a lot."
Robertson said her focus was "a spirit of trust and consensus."
"I love and believe in our city," she said.
"Thank you for being Port Allen's mayor once again and making us proud of our city and of you," Harris said.

|Concerted action of two formins in gliding motility and host cell invasion by Toxoplasma gondii.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20949068 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The invasive forms of apicomplexan parasites share a conserved form of gliding motility that powers parasite migration across biological barriers, host cell invasion and egress from infected cells. Previous studies have established that the duration and direction of gliding motility are determined by actin polymerization; however, regulators of actin dynamics in apicomplexans remain poorly characterized. In the absence of a complete ARP2/3 complex, the formin homology 2 domain containing proteins and the accessory protein profilin are presumed to orchestrate actin polymerization during host cell invasion. Here, we have undertaken the biochemical and functional characterization of two Toxoplasma gondii formins and established that they act in concert as actin nucleators during invasion. The importance of TgFRM1 for parasite motility has been assessed by conditional gene disruption. The contribution of each formin individually and jointly was revealed by an approach based upon the expression of dominant mutants with modified FH2 domains impaired in actin binding but still able to dimerize with their respective endogenous formin. These mutated FH2 domains were fused to the ligand-controlled destabilization domain (DD-FKBP) to achieve conditional expression. This strategy proved unique in identifying the non-redundant and critical roles of both formins in invasion. These findings provide new insights into how controlled actin polymerization drives the directional movement required for productive penetration of parasites into host cells.

Zune leak reveals iPod nano killer?
updated 08:50 am EDT, Wed April 11, 2007
Zune Sequel Rumors
Core details about the next generation of the Zune have been leaked, according to a blogger who claims to have spoken with a member of the Microsoft Zune team. The source has allegedly revealed that the company is already finishing the design stage of a smaller Zune based on flash memory whose size and features would be consciously aimed at defeating today's the iPod nano. The device would be just three inches tall and a quarter-inch thick with a screen that covers nearly 75 percent of the front face. It should also hold more flash memory than today's 8GB flash players, with beating Apple and other rivals in terms of storage as an explicit goal.
"You have to beat the competition, you know," the Microsoft employee said.
A sequel to the existing 30GB hard drive is also in the works, the report notes. The device will be near-identical on the surface, only becoming thinner despite an increase in storage -- but the core components may be very different, he hinted. The opening of a new Zune-specific factory was interpreted as a shift towards an in-house design, hoping to move away from the Toshiba Gigabeat-based components of today's model.
Release dates and other more tangible details of the player were unavailable during the alleged conversation. The blogger noted, however, that nearly 2.4 million of the updated Zunes will be made in the run-up to the holiday season, when both the new hard drive model and its flash sibling should be available in stores.
Microsoft's first self-produced music player has struggled in the market to date, achieving a sizeable but small portion of the market compared to Apple since its launch in November. The lack of flash-based models has been cited by numerous sources as a contributing factor in Microsoft's relatively poor showing.

Shortly after the Angels won a bidding war against the Miami Marlins and secured free agent left-hander C.J. Wilson in the early morning hours Thursday, the pitcher spoke with the general manager of his old team, the Texas Rangers, in a farewell conversation.
"Is there any way," Texas GM Jon Daniels joked, "that I can convince you to go to the Marlins?"
And that was before Albert Pujols committed to the Angels.
Yes, the landscape changed rapidly in the AL West this week and, as things go on paper in the winter-time, the Angels positioned themselves as the potential division favorites heading into 2012.
That's as of today, and who knows what happens tomorrow. The ultra-aggressive Rangers surely will answer the Angels moves -- Prince Fielder? -- and the earth could yet shift again before spring training.
"It's crazy," Wilson said. "With Albert going, there's a big swing on the balance of power in the West.
"I thought I would make a difference, but he makes a huge difference. Nobody saw that coming."
"I'm shocked about Anaheim swooping into it," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said.
As if it wasn't stunning enough that the Angels hauled in Pujols (10 years, $254 million), Wilson (five years, $77.5 million) and reliever LaTroy Hawkins (one year, $3 million) during the final 12 hours of the winter meetings, the suits in the organization say they will not look to trade anyone.
Mark Trumbo, who played first last year and will be replaced by Pujols? He's taking ground balls at third base, a position of weakness.
Kendrys Morales, who played first two years ago? Unlike last year, the Angels are proceeding with caution after a second ankle surgery caused him to miss all of 2011.
Veterans outfielders Torii Hunter, Bobby Abreu and Vernon Wells and young speedsters Peter Bourjos and Mike Trout also will fit in, somewhere, somehow.
"You have the opportunity from an offensive perspective to plug one of the great hitters of all time into the middle of your lineup," Angels GM Jerry Dipoto said. "And we feel like you can never have too much depth.
"As it pertains to Mark Trumbo and Kendrys Morales, we still have the benefit of playing in the American League, where we have first base at-bats, we have DH at-bats, corner outfielders at-bats.
"And we've discussed as we've gone through and into this season to date, Mark Trumbo is particularly athletic for his size. The power leads you to believe first base, but he's got a little bit of history at third base and in the outfield. We know those DH bats are there.
"We are still unaware of exactly the timetable for Kendrys Morales. But if we have all three healthy and clicking on all cylinders, we're going to be in a really good position."
One of Dipoto's most important early goals is to improve an Angels' lineup that was 11th in the American League in on-base percentage last year. Pujols' career .420 OBP ranks second in the majors among active players.
"One-hundred percent he'll change our lineup," Hunter said. "The way pitchers approach us, he's one guy who can change the whole lineup. You put Pujols in any lineup, any lineup, and it will be better."
The Angels could not have stunned the baseball industry more. Word of Pujols' signing broke just before 9 a.m. local time, just as executives from every club were gathering for the annual Rule V draft.
Even inside their organization, there was a sense of disbelief.
"This is crazy," Hunter said. "I'm so excited right now it's unbelievable. I'm just happy we have this chance. We've got a legitimate chance."
Hunter was working out at the Dallas branch of the Athletes' Performance Institute with pitchers LaTroy Hawkins (who signed with the Angels on Wednesday night, less than 24 hours ahead of Pujols and C.J. Wilson), Joel Hanrahan (Pirates closer), Jamey Wright (Mariners) and several young prospects when he learned the news.
"Everyone went crazy when it came up on the phone," Hunter said. "I am trippin' right now."

Angels' lineup will change "100%" with Pujols

Angels' lineup will change '100%' with Pujols
They were already a pretty good team defensively, with good pitching and now with adding a couple of arms to the pen and Wilson they are an elite team on paper. My guess is the money doesn't mean nothing to them, there already spending like a 130 million, might as well go all in and add the power bat they always lack.I think that Trumbo will DH, Pujols will play 1B...and that's the nice thing about the AL you can take a day off from fielding but still be in the lineup to DH. When Morales comes back I guess he rides the bench or gets moved unless they want to give up on Trumbo. They have five outfielders who can play on any given day (though Trout does need to improve) , three of which are center fielders and not to mention three gold glove winners in Hunter,Wells & Abreu.

Angels' lineup will change '100%' with Pujols
The Angels will not try to mess with him and make him a DH that won't happen! (I'm sure Albert discussed that before signing) Plus he is an above average fielder and team leader so you want him in the field. I'm sure the manager thinks he died and went to heaven. With Mike's coaching ability and Albert's leadership this should be a great team!

Four men, four nights, 360 minutes of jabs, grabs and daring political maneuvers. The Final Four of the political season — three presidential debates and one vice-presidential debate — is about to begin.
The series kicks off on Oct. 3 with a domestic policy one-on-one. Game 1 will be divided into six sets of approximately 15 minutes each, with the economy dominating the first three sets and health care, governing and the role of government likely to rally in the second half. Players will be allowed two minutes to respond to each question before back-and-forth discussion begins. PBS's Jim Lehrer will referee.
Game 2 on Oct. 11 will give the vice presidential players a chance to stretch their legs. Covering domestic and foreign policy topics, this match will showcase the players in nine sets of 10 minutes each. ABC's Martha Raddatz is the evening's ump.
The arena changes in the third round, when the presidential players go head-to-head in an Oct. 16 town hall. Spectators in the stands will include undecided voters chosen by the Gallup Organization, and there's no knowing what kinds of questions they'll throw at the competitors. CNN's Candy Crowley will call the shots — the first time a woman has officiated a presidential game since ABC's Carole Simpson reffed in 1992.
After a six-day timeout, the presidential competitors will resume play Oct. 22 for the last match, where they'll tackle foreign policy. Game 4 will be structured like the first, with CBS's Bob Schieffer refereeing. Just two weeks before the Nov. 6 winner-takes-all Championship, this round promises to pack some heat.
And now for the players: Barack Obama, 51, is a 6′ 1" Democrat from Hawaii who has spent the last four years training to be president by being president. Mitt Romney, 65, is a 6′ 2″ Republican from Michigan with experience on both the public and private playing fields.
Obama's pinch hitter, Joseph Biden, 69, is a league veteran. A former senator from Delaware, Biden has been gearing up for the finals by cheering for Obama and trying to avoid unforced errors. His opponent, Paul Ryan, 42, is a policy wonk turned Tea Party heavyweight who is also a representative from Wisconsin. His intense P90X regimen might help him give Biden a run for his money.
The whistle blows at 9 p.m. EST for each showdown. Is the country ready to rumble?

According to a police report, the incident was reported as an assault and battery when two women approached officers on Broad Street, claiming they had been assaulted by two men, later identified as the Penske brothers.
The report claims the Penske brothers were urinating in the parking lot, and that when she confronted Jay Penske, he "turned and continued to urinate on her boots. He then proceeded to grab her arm and push her. (The woman) also states that Mark before he ran away pushed her and they both then ran to the house on Yacht Club property" the report states.
The brothers were charged with "breaking and entering in the nighttime and attempt to commit a misdemeanor." The women declined to file assault charges
Police said they apprehended Jay trying to run away from the club and Mark inside the employee apartment with cuts on his arm after apparently falling down a staircase.
In perhaps the most bizarre part of the story, one of the women claims that Jay Penske shouted "You're not white enough" at her as he was being detained. (The race of the women was not revealed in the article.) They spent the night at the Nantucket detention facility. Their pretrial hearings are scheduled for August 20.
Jay Penske is the owner of Dragon Racing in the IndyCar Series with drivers Sebastian Bourdais and Katherine Legge.

"Here we are," he said.
There were a couple of couches around the room, but other than that, not much. But all in all, a good place to sleep.
"I've used it a couple of times," he said.
"But you're not a senior."
"Junior, senior, what's the difference?"
I just laughed.
He was looking really hot right now. The way his hair was falling over his face and his cute little grin was making him pretty irresistible.
He slowly walked over to me. He reached out and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear, letting his hand rest on my cheek. He then let his hand slide down my body to my waist. He put his other arm around me and pulled me closer to him, pressing his body against mine. I put my hands on his chest and stared at him. He was so hot, but he was also Tyler Cruz. I knew what was about to happen, did I want it to happen? I wasn't sure. What I did know was that the way he was looking at me was making it a little hard to breathe. He leaned his head closer to mine, and pressed his lips to mine. The sudden rush of desire surprised me, and I found myself kissing him back passionately.
He let his hands flutter down to my butt, and started feeling it up. He then gripped it, and picked me up. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist, and he carried me over to one of the couches. He laid me down and slid on top of me, breaking away from me momentarily to smile.
"You're so hot," he said.
In reply to this, I snaked my arm around his neck and pulled him back down to me. He pulled my shirt up, exposing my belly. He began to touch my stomach, and then slipped his hands up my back. I arched my back against him. He broke away from kissing me and began kissing down my neck. I let my head fall back against the couch and stared up at the ceiling. All of the sudden my phone vibrated again. Ignoring it, I pulled Tyler back up to me and began kissing him again.
He broke apart from me suddenly, staring down at me. "Will you go out with me, Alex?"
"W-what?" I asked, shocked.
"Will you go out with me? Will you be my girlfriend?"
I didn't even have to think. "Yes, of course."
He smiled, and then crushed his mouth to mine again.
About an hour later I walked out of the school after saying by to Tyler. My hair was messy and my lips were swollen from all the kissing, but I was on top of the world. The good feeling stopped, however, when I saw Peter's car sitting in the parking lot, still waiting.
"Shit," I muttered. I had completely forgotten about Peter. Glancing at my phone I saw that I had four missed calls and ten text messages. I jogged over to the car and knocked on the passenger seat's window, waiting for him to unlock it. When he did, I climbed in. "I'm so sorry, Peter."
"What took you so long?" he asked, obviously pissed off.
"I kind of ended up making out with Tyler Cruz in the senior lounge."
That was obviously not what he was expecting. "What?"
"Yeah, it kind of took me by surprise, too. But he asked me out and I said yes!"
"He did what?"
"Asked me out!"
"You're going out with Tyler?"
"Whoa," he said, leaning back in his seat and absorbing the information.
"Isn't this great?" I said excitedly.
"I mean, yeah, it's great, but I'm just surprised."
"I'm going out with Tyler!"
"So do you like him now?"
"Alex! You're going out with Tyler!"
I giggled and leaned into him as he wrapped me into his arms.
I had been dating Tyler for a month now, and I can now say with confidence that he is absolutely amazing. And right now as I lay snuggled against him with my head on his chest watching a movie in his room, I can say that I am happy. I have the boyfriend I never needed but always wanted. Nothing at home has changed, nor will it ever, but at least I have Tyler to get me through the day.
The Monday we came back to school after that one unforgettable Friday, we got more than a couple stares as we walked down the hall hand in hand, smiling happily at each other.
"Hey, babe, I'm going to go get a Coke, you want one?" Tyler asked, sliding off the bed. I instantly missed the feeling of my head against his chest.
"Nah, I'm good," I said, wrapping myself in a blanket.
He went to the end of the bed, completely blocking the screen, reached up under the covers, and started tickling my feet.
"No! Stop!" I squealed as I squirmed out of his reach.
He jumped on top of me and pinned me down.
"Please," I wheezed, "don't tickle me."
He narrowed his eyes and gave me a devilish grin. He let go of my wrists, which he had been holding, and started to goose me.
"No!" I squealed, trying to get him off me. I squirmed around.
"I got you now!" he said.
At the last possible second when I couldn't take it any longer, he let go.
I lay on the bed breathing hard, the bed sheets rumpled.
He then gave me another smile and went to go get his Coke.
After that first day, I thought that Tyler might want to do a lot of physical things, but he hadn't. All we did is kiss, and so far he hadn't pressured me once. I felt happy in this relationship, and I hoped that it lasted a long time.
Just then my phone started ringing.
"Alex!" Peter said.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Where are you?"
"Tyler's house, why?"
"Oh, nothing, I was just wondering. Any new news?"
"Not really," I said, glancing back at the movie.
"Nope. What about you?"
"Um, well, I kind of found out that Celina just started going out with this other guy."
I sat straight up in the bed and said, "What?"
"Since when? I thought you guys were going to go out for sure!"
"Yeah, I thought so too. And I just found out today."
"Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry, Peter. Do you want me to come over or something?"
"Well, I don't want to take you away from Tyler."
"Don't be stupid, you're my best friend. Plus, I'm always with Tyler anyway."
"I really don't want to cause any problems between you two."
"He's not like that! You know that, Peter. He'll understand."
"Okay…if you're sure."
"Of course I'm sure!"
"Do you want me to come pick you up?"
"Yeah, that'd be nice."
"Okay, see you in a couple minutes."
"See ya."
I hung up right as Tyler walked back in.
"Hey, babe?" I said.
"I'm going to have to leave early."
"Peter's having a mini-crisis and I have to be there for him."
"Aw, well I hate for you to leave, but okay. Do you want me to give you a ride or something?" he asked, pulling me into a hug.
"No, Peter's going to come pick me up," I said into his chest.
"Well then let's make the most of our last couple of minutes together," he said grinning. He pulled away slightly and put his hand under my chin, tilting my head back. He slowly pressed his mouth to mine. I wound my hands around his neck and started playing with his hair. I moved my mouth against his and kissed him back. He wrapped his other arm around my waist and pressed me forcefully against his body. I could feel…certain parts hardening, but I paid no attention as I continued to kiss him. He groaned into my mouth, surprising me. He pushed me against him harder and let go of my chin to wrap his arm around my waist. He was squeezing me against him so hard that I could hardly breathe, but I was lost in the kiss.
Suddenly my phone vibrated, signaling that Peter was here. I unwound my arms from around Tyler's neck and tried to step back. He held me in his arms for another second, leaning back down and giving me another passionate kiss, and then let me go. I picked up my jacket and phone, and then gave him another peck, walking out into the hall. I walked down the stairs and out the door where Peter was waiting for me in his car. Climbing in, I leaned over and gave Peter a hug.
