Today, CPD chief Jody Weis is calling on kids to come forth and give up other kids involved in the brawl outside Fenger last week. But if you listen to one Robeson high school student, Dahvies Holmes, explain why kids don't snitch, you get the impression Weis won't be getting many calls from kids.

Over the past year, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon has issued a few reports in which he has presented his thoughts on how the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) applies to corporate social media policies. But earlier this month, the NLRB itself for the first time issued a decision on the subject.
On Sept. 7, the NLRB invalidated Costco Wholesale Corp.'s social media policy, which it found to be overly broad. The board found that the policy—which prohibited Costco employees from making statements on social media that could damage the company or other employees' reputations—could chill employees' free speech rights under the NLRA.

Because an agency's choice of a particular North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is a matter for review exclusively by the Small Business Administration. Protester's argument that acquisition for canned juice could reasonably have been classified under more than one NAICS code will not be considered by the General Accounting Office. 2. It is the NAICS code applied to an acquisition. Which was issued on January 30. Application of such an adjustment would have been improper.

Hey, I'm Alcira!
I am a world citizen, having lived in 7 countries. I appreciate different cultures and find enjoyment upon meeting people. Coming from a design background, I am very visual and I can't imagine a better way of enriching my life other than traveling. It's incredible what the world has to offer.
I do my best to make the most out of every season, place or situation I am in. I like people to have good memories when they travel, so I enjoy helping my friends and clients to organize an itinerary when they travel to places that I have visited. For me, the enjoyment starts from the moment I start to plan.
One of the reasons why I started skiing was to feel the freedom that only you can control when you are going down the hill. Being outdoors and experiencing what nature can offer at beautiful resorts has also interested me. Even if it's below zero you can get the most of life and have great experiences.
When I travel, I enjoy engulfing myself in the culture by participating in local events such as:
Markets Museums Parks Live theater
Bakeries Performing Arts Restauran(URL HIDDEN)Galleries.
Toronto is a multicultural city, with many activities and events all year round. You can find good theater, from ballet, opera to musicals. The Toronto International Film Festival, street events. You can bike through the Harbour, or roller blade, go sailing in Lake Ontario; during the winter there are many free places where you can ice skate and they have rentals, or join me and my ski club as a guest for a fun day at the hills. I am sure you will find something of interest to talk about to your friends when you go back home.

Posted by a Chapter 7 client
The bad news is: I had to file bankruptcy. The good news is: It's 100% complete and that is thanks to Kaveh. This all started with an ugly, unexpected divorce a few years ago. My ex - let's call him "The Sociopath" - left me high & dry for his coworker after 15 years. That also began my foray into attorneys. One has been worse than the next. From unethical narcissists to overpriced MIAs. I was reluctant to hire another. Lucky for me, Mostafavi & Wimmer became the exception to the rule. They charge a flat fee to begin the case and folks - it's worth every penny. Bankruptcy is a somber, meticulous process; I couldn't imagine doing it myself. I handed it off to Kaveh, Steve, and team and they were on every detail! They explain everything, return every phone call and email, handle all the issues, complete the process beautifully. They're fast, knowledgeable, efficient, and professional. And let me give you the visual of what that all really means: We're sitting in the Federal Court Hearing today - the hearing you nervously await because it means your case is/is not "discharged." Three cases ahead of us (all in the same room). 1-by-1, the Court Trustee summoned up the individuals and their attorneys, then proceeded to find a problem with each and every case/case file. Every single person was required to come back at a later date. (NO Discharge!) Until it was my turn. Not only was it over & complete in under 5 minutes, but he actually COMMENDED Kaveh on his outstanding work on the file!! He did it all, and he did right. The 1st time. And did I mention he's a nice guy, too? Excellent Firm, Excellent Results. This is how people "should" practice law!

If we approached sex like World Cup soccer, this is what it would look like.
Filed by Jonathan Corbett | Jul 10, 2014 @ 1:17pm
The rarely seen "double fake."
Before watching If Sex Was Like The World Cup, I didn't realize how much sex and soccer have in common. They're both a bit of a chess match, there's usually some unintentional bruising, there's way too much faking, and they both often end in tears and disappointment. The only thing missing is a montage of weeping Brazilians. Though, that might be more of a German porn thing.
If you're a fan of soccer and sex, you'll probably enjoy this video. If nothing else, you'll get to see Americans going the distance for once.

The NEED TO RENEW OLGR RSA falls away.
The "SITHFAB009A" or "SITHFAB201" Provide responsible Service of Alcohol' will not need to be renewed.
This Responsible service of alcohol (RSA) Training program was released by the Queensland Office of Liquor, Gaming & Racing (OLGR) on the 1st February 2009 in response to the mandatory training requirements of the Liquor and Other Acts Amendment Act 2008. Mayfair College has been licensed by OLGR to deliver the OLGR-RSA training program.
A new Bill, the Liquor and Gaming (Red Tape Reduction) and other Legislation Amendment Bill 2013 has been passed by Queensland Parliament.
This will result in a range of changes to legislation affecting the liquor and gaming industries in Queensland, some from 1st of July 2014, others from 1st of January 2014.
Learning Process
This course will involve interactive content including, text, photos, videos, activities and quizzes. The theory part is a per-requisite to the Class-Room course. The program focuses on content which ensure the required performance criteria from the RSA unit of competency (SITHFAB201) is met. The elements of this unit are as follows;
1. Sell or serve alcohol responsibly
2. Assist customers to drink within appropriate limits
3. Assess alcohol affected customers and identify customers to whom sale or service must be refused
4. Refuse to provide alcohol
Once you have read and completed all of the activities in all of the four elements you will be required to complete an on-line examination which includes both multiple choice & short answer questions. To receive a Statement of Attainment and current RSA certificate, you will be required to;
Complete all of the online activities & quizzes
Complete on-line examination which you will need to achieve 90%
You will be interviewed over the phone and need to answer verbal questions as final pass mark.
You will be given one opportunity to re-sit the examination. If you do not achieve 90% in the re-sit examination, you will be prompted to re-enroll in the program.
Under current legislation, the unit of competency "SITHFAB201 Provide responsible Service of Alcohol" will not need to be renewed.

Golfweek's Best Deals: Montana Aug. 10 - 3:37 Maybe it's the August heat, and maybe it's the reality that even if you do have time to escape to the beach, it's still pretty hot there. And that got us to thinking: Where can you go to beat the heat and score some affordable golf? Golfweek's Best Deals: Lake of Isles July 13 - 3:48 When looking for golf bargains, start with the casinos. They often offer aggressive pricing on rooms and rounds, assuming they'll make it back at their gaming tables, restaurants and other amenities. Golfweek's Best deals: Sunriver Resort June 29 - 2:52 This might come as news to some, but golf in Oregon is played at places other than Bandon Dunes Resort, whose three courses occupy the top three spots on the state's Golfweek's Best Courses You Can Play list.

Matthew 24:48-51New International Version (NIV)
48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,' 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Captain Sindbad (sic) is a 1963 King Brothers Productions film directed by Byron Haskin and filmed in the Bavaria studios in Germany. It stars Guy Williams (Disney's Zorro and future Lost in Space star) and Heidi Brühl.[2] The script was rewritten by Guy Endore, then rewritten again by co-producer Frank King a week before filming to reduce expenses, then the film was reedited prior to release. Haskin, who also did some of the film's special effects shot sequences for a television pilot of the film for MGM Television, but no network picked it up.[3]
The peaceful kingdom of Baristan has an evil ruler named El-Carim. He plans to capture his rival, Sindbad, who will soon return from sea in order to marry Princess Jana. The Princess convinces the magician Galgo to turn her into a small bird, so that she may fly off to warn Sinbad of the trap set against him. She flies off just as Galgo is discovered by the guards, who take him to El-Carim. As Sindbad and his crew sail towards Baristan, the Princess-Firebird descends and lands on the ship.
But before she can deliver the message, El-Carim transforms the guards into giant human falcons, to drop rocks onto Sindbad's ship sinking it. However, Sindbad and some of his crew have survived, and they carefully make their way to shore. Galgo makes his arm stretch out to an enormous length, long enough to grab El-Carim's magic ring, but the evil king wakes up in time to burn Galgo's hand.
Sindbad manages to get arrested, and soon appears before the dictator as a petty thief. El-Carim is not fooled, and knows that the man standing before him is the Princess' suitor, and orders him executed. However, Sindbad breaks free of his ropes and challenges the ruler. Sindbad stabs the King in the heart with a sword, but as El-Carim has no heart, and cannot be killed. El-Carim plans to put Sindbad to death the next day in the public arena.
Soon, the poor prisoner is tossed into the arena, where he must do battle with "The Thing," a fearsome giant invisible monster. Fortunately, the Thing knocks over a torch, starting a fire in the arena which incites a mass exodus, allowing Sindbad to escape.
Sindbad visits Galgo, finally convincing the magician to reveal the secret of El-Carim's invincible rule: the madman has had his heart removed, and it is kept safe in a distant bell tower, guarded by supernatural forces. El-Carim insists that the Princess marry him, but she refuses, and so is slated for execution. Sindbad and his men traverse the swamps of horror in order to reach the tower of the evil heart. They encounter carnivorous vines, giant prehistoric monsters, volcanic lava pits and whirlpools on the way, finally battling an ogre with the multiple heads of a dragon. Outtakes of this "Dragon-Ogre" where used briefly in the movie "Natural Born Killers".
When they reach the tower, Sindbad, with the aid of a hook, begins to climb the immense rope to the top of the tower. Sindbad reaches the top of the tower, and finds El-Carim's beating heart encased in crystal. The heart is protected by a giant hand, which chases Sindbad all around the bell tower. Sindbad throws the hook at the crystal, which dislodges the evil heart, giving El-Carim a heart attack. Sindbad then manages to vanquish the monster hand. Seeking to protect the heart, El-Carim flies in a winged chariot towards the tower, accompanied by Galgo. Sindbad is about to impale the evil heart when El-Carim arrives on the scene. The two have a fierce swordfight while Galgo steals the wretched heart, and tosses it over the side of the tower. As it falls to the ground, El-Carim faints, and falls to his death. The entire kingdom then has a celebration for the marriage of the Princess and Captain Sindbad.

REVIEW Director Mary Zimmerman's association with the Berkeley Rep goes back to 1996's Journey to the West, her adaptation of the classical Chinese novel, famously followed in 2001 by Metamorphoses, a visually startling adaptation from Ovid's collection of Greek and Roman myths for which she went on to receive a directing Tony. Read more »
The great Langston Hughes titled a volume of his autobiography I Wonder as I Wander, invoking the notion of the poet in terms entirely personal and inevitably representative of a whole people, violently unsettled by history and restlessly searching for meaning, home, dignity in short, for themselves. In Hughes' art, this dovetailed with the image of the poet as blues singer and the blues singer as poet. Read more »
REVIEW Even if the rest of the "change" he's been promising remains elusive, Barack Obama's resounding electoral win is already change and of a profound kind given its undeniable impact on racial consciousness among African Americans, Americans at large, and no doubt people around the globe. Of course, nobody thinks racism disappeared overnight Nov. 4. If anything, the day marks an opportunity for a reinvigorated dialogue on the complexities of race and racism in the 21st-century United States. Read more »
REVIEW The title of David Szlasa's peculiar, compact, and appealing new work suggests one ready avenue of flight from a world gone mad, but in fact fantasies of escape take more than one form in My Hot Lobotomy, now up at CounterPULSE. And while escapism is exactly what the piece concerns itself with, the import is anything but apathetic or disengaged. Read more »
PREVIEW Last year saw the re-release of performance artist and musician Laurie Anderson's 1982 debut, Big Science (Warner Bros.). What a heady nostalgia its lo-fi cover invokes, a confidence now gone quaint with the one-time fad of robotic gestures, lab coats, and test-tube weirdness. It's just cute the way the '80s were catching up with the future.
But recently the recording's opening track, the eerie and wacky "From the Air," has been on shuffle rotation in the iPod of the brain as one of the more apt commentaries on present madness. Read more »
REVIEW The prologue and opening salvo in playwright-director Steve Morgan Haskell's spirited, fitfully inspired rock parable All You Can Eat an offbeat, down-tempo call to arms has a French accent, wielded by a woman named Camille de Tocqueville (a coolly assured Michelle Haner). Read more »
REVIEW By now, the Italian American mean streets of New York that colorful bustle of energies shadowed so enticingly by the wickedly romantic lives of entrepreneurial mafiosi are an immovable fixture on the post-Scorsese, post-Sopranos landscape of cultural memory. So much so that, in its more run-of-the-mill versions, this world strikes the outsider as virtual at best: no more than a manufactured dreamscape. But authenticity is hard to fake. Read more »
REVIEW American Conservatory Theater's season opener marks the 40-year anniversary of 1968 with the well-timed if less than well-executed Bay Area premiere of Tom Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll, which from the dual vantage points of Prague and Cambridge traces revolutionary politics and counterculture between 1968's Prague Spring and 1989's Velvet Revolution.
Stoppard's latest but not greatest is almost a 20th-century coda to his grand three-part saga of 19th-century revolutionaries, The Coast of Utopia, building on the famed playwright's on Read more »
REVIEW Hey, kids! Wake up and smell the freedom! Outside the RNC, for instance, where a phalanx of Taser-wielding storm troopers recently did their dirty work on citizens practicing what civics classes used to call free speech. One 19-year-old there was beaten unconscious, hooded, hauled away, and beaten some more subjected to what any dropout in years past would have rightly called torture. Read more »
REVIEW I don't know if it helps to have a strategy at the San Francisco Fringe Festival. The nature of this annual animal the 17th installment opened Sept. 3 resists forethought. You study the program, listen to the buzz while getting yours on in the Exit Theatre Café, read the audience reviews online, but in the end you never know what you'll get. This year I led with my gut and it being that kind of year decided to go for all the dark stuff: the ugly, the brutal, the profane. Read more »

I'm all for performance enhancing drugs in sports. We the consumers, want to be entertained. We want to see the records broken, the crazy plays and progression at all costs.
Why do I bring this up? It's a catchy lead in and the only creative way I could think to mention that it appears that the skateparks of today are on some form of concrete steroids. The Lake Cunningham Skatepark in San Jose is beyond big. The fact that is shares property with Raging Waters more than suggests that it kind of exists as a theme park all it's own. You know the park where you get the 3 day pass to check it all out? Kind of like that.
The place basically has everything you could need and then some.
It's a locals paradise and they played host to our circus Sunday in fine form. We had us a demo with all the trimmings. You had the skaters, the families, the kids on their own, the pre-requisite politicians and no shortage of press on hand to cover it all.
There were the million or so autographs that just seemed to happen.. and as long as day was.. it was still kind of special. See, on top of all that, We also had guests.
It's kind of common these days to have another guy from some other team come out for a stop or two on a tour. It's sometimes special – but usually just another dude. I will say for sure.. those guys usually aren't bringing together two super legends at the same time, but it happened here. Steve Caballero.
It was pretty awesome that he was down to come out for a little fun in the sun with our passing through crew. Tony and Steve have been friends since the day.
Bones Brigade.. I needn't say more, and won't (other than Jeff Hedges was there too, with a cast of local flavor that also included Steve's daughter in the jam)
Anyways.. a summation. The session was a good one. Packed with the new hits and plenty of classics.. just like a mix tape for that special somebody.
Right when I thought the time had come, the ender run, and we've got to hit the road again.. it turned out I was wrong.
See there's a silly big wallride there to be had, and Tony had been eyeing it more than I thought.
Wallride Wars, (Jaws vs. the Hawk) round whatever we are on now.. was on.
Interestingly, they both took it to it at different times. Tony making it as high as he wanted a good 5 or 7 times before calling it a day, and Jaws rolling though shorty after to up the ante. Nobody has ever dropped in on this monolith. Nobody. Tony's been up there on a previous visit. and gave it a resounding "hell no.." Some locals have tried, and all have failed.
But scrawny little Jaws, see he's just silly enough to fall for it. Buy into the challenge.. Being known as the little guy who goes big, he may as well. This was about as big a drop as any he's kickflip meloned or even straight shotted. It's different, yes, but a biggin' none the less.
After a couple of tranny checks.. he pulled his wiry frame up to take a peek. As expected, he got the glance and set down his board down. Equally as quick, he sat down and cried. He didn't do it.
Advantage: Hawk
– the end.
(for the record, no he didn't cry and did give it a go, but that's not as funny. Take a minute to check out the shot from @donkeysquad on insta, or Tony's re-post. Best comment/pic combo in a bit..)

TiEcon Takes On Clean Energy For All
Co-authored with Vrinda Manglik, Associate Campaign Representative, International Clean Energy Access
Entrepreneurs are going green to support global development.
The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) is a non-profit network of entrepreneurs and professionals headquartered in Silicon Valley. With interests in technology, innovation, and enterprise, a focus on supporting clean energy entrepreneurs and endeavors is a natural fit for these progressive leaders.
Harnessing this potential for clean energy development in order to drive clean solutions for energy poverty is an opportunity we at the Sierra Club are most excited about. After partnering with TiE in 2013 to bring Jigar Shah to Silicon Valley to discuss the tremendous leapfrog opportunities for clean energy in India, the Club is excited for TiE's upcoming conference, TiEcon, as an opportunity to increase entrepreneurial interest in clean energy solutions for global energy poverty.
TiEcon includes an impressive lineup of speakers -- including high-profile CEOs and startup founders -- that will deliver key insights on trends in business and technology. It will be an exciting opportunity to learn from some of the best and brightest minds in business and innovation and catalyze more solutions and resources going forward. Bright minds like that of Lesley Marincola -- founder and CEO of Angaza Design -- who will be moderating a panel focused on obtaining seed funding for startup companies.
TiEcon -- which has been included in Worth magazine's list of "10 Best Conferences For Ideas and Entrepreneurship" -- is the world's largest entrepreneurship conference. Last year's event drew a crowd of 3,600 of the most prevalent stars of the tech, business, and enterprise worlds. In fact, the Forbes Style File column just featured the event.
This year, TiEcon's clean energy focus will be featured with an entire track of the conference that is dedicated to impact investing, including a panel -- Leveraging the Power of Diaspora -- featuring speakers from the Aspen Institute and Skoll Foundation. The main focus of the panel will be leveraging the financial power of the Indian diaspora to focus on issues within India -- particularly off-grid, clean energy services. With $45 million flowing into up-and-coming solar companies in the past four months alone, the market is heating up, and TiE's network of entrepreneurs and investors want to know all about it.
Access to financing is a significant barrier facing progressive cleantech companies seeking to serve the energy poor. It is only with financial support that they will be able to help power the lives of the 400 million Indians living off the grid. Given TiE's focus on entrepreneurship and the new TiE Angels investment network, it is exciting to see an expanding focus on the diaspora's potential to support clean energy projects.
Ultimately, the tremendous potential to distribute clean energy to places with unprecedented energy poverty -- like India -- speaks for itself. But panels like these at TiEcon are essential to inspire the resources and entrepreneurial talent in places like the Bay Area and all across the country. Already, clean energy technology and payment innovations -- like pay-as-you-go mobile payment schemes -- are spreading like wildfire, and this is only the beginning.
Registration for TiEcon 2014 ends this Thursday, May 15, so check it out here.

CONCORD, NC – With many competitors just returning home from the WKA Winter Cup Series second event at 103rd Street Sports Complex in Jacksonville, Florida, the window is quickly closing to cash in on the Tier 1 Deadline for the series finale March 4-6 at GoPro Motorplex in Mooresville, North Carolina.
As mentioned earlier, WKA will be handling the parking for the event. So all requests need to be submitted via fax, email, or phone to Buddy Long at the WKA Office in Concord, North Carolina.
Deadline for Tier 1 is Thursday Feb 11, with the Tier 2 deadline slated for Feb 24.
To view the GoPro Winter Cup Entry Blank, click here.
CONCORD, NC – The second round of the inaugural WKA Winter Cup Program could not have been labeled more precisely, as bone chilling temperatures, accompanied by occasional rain, challenged the efforts of driver and crew all weekend at 103rd Street Sports Complex in Jacksonville, Florida. However, the end result was a success witnessed by the large crowd of spectators in attendance.
The February Winter Cup also marked the return of 2 Cycle racing to Jacksonville under the WKA umbrella for the first time in many years. With 103rd Street serving for many years as THE Stop for 2 cycle racers back in the day during Daytona KartWeek, the eventual construction of a sprint track in the infield at Daytona International Speedway, enabled all three parts of the Daytona KartWeek puzzle to fit in together in one place, thus ending a long run down the 1,000 foot backstretch for quite a while.
The February return to 103rd brought back memories for many in the 2-cycle world. And when the dust settled, a driver who was oblivious to racing at Jax the last time 2 cycles were there, ended up on the top shelf of the podium twice for the weekend, as Jason Welage scored the overall wins in the Allison Racing Engines Yamaha Sportsman class, as well as the IAME USA East Pro Swift Sportsman categories.
Other overall winners for the weekend included Jason Yarbrough, leading again another very strong contingent of Briggs & Stratton LO206 Senior class competition, Brent Crews in the CRPRACING.COM Mini Swift class, and Lance Fenderson the top dog in the Woltjer Racing Engines Pro IAME Junior class. Bradon Eves took top honors for the weekend in the KARTSPORT North America Pro IAME Senior division, while Karsyn Walters took the top spot on the podium in the Water for a Cause Kid Kart class. And Jimmy Cole Jackson topped all comers in the Briggs & Stratton LO206 Junior class.
For Welage, consistency would be the name of the game on Day 1, as the 3 time Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Champion from 2015 would shadow Kaden Wharff across the stripe in the Yamaha Sportsman Class. For Wharff, as well as anyone else that became acquainted with the 1,000 foot backstretch at 103rd Street, being in the right place on the right lap is everything, especially in Jacksonville, as Wharff laid claim to the win. The top 2 were chased across the stripe by Annie Rhule, Eli Trull, and Rylee Engel for the top 5, with Welage taking the Comet Kart Sales Fast Time Award.
Welage would again find second as the spot in the IAME USA East Pro Swift Sportsman Class as Connor Ferris took the victory on Saturday, with Robert Noaker III, Annie Rhule, and Ashton Chilton completing the top 5. Welage again would be the recipient of the Comet Kart Sales Fast Time Award.
In other Saturday action, Brent Crews fended off the efforts of Sebastian Ng for the win in the CRPRACING.COM Mini Swift class. Caleb Gafrarar rode home third on Day 1, with Danny Dyszelski and Nicholas Terlecki completing the top 5. Eli Trull, the Comet Kart Sales Fast Time winner, rode home 6th.
For the second race in a row, the Allison Racing Engines Pro IAME Junior class did not disappoint, as Lance Fenderson turned back the efforts of Ty Gibbs for the win. Fenderson was also the Comet Kart Sales Fast Time winner. Chasing the top 2 across the line were Vincenzo Sarracino, Alex Bertagnoli, and Pauley Massimino.
Coming to Jacksonville, many in attendance in the Briggs & Stratton Racing LO206 Senior class knew Corey Towles would be tough to fend off, following a stellar Daytona performance. But Jason Yarbrough was one of those who dug in the trenches a little deeper, and was able to secure the Day 1 win over Towles, with Michael Clark, Matt Mayes, and Patrick O'Neal rounding out the top 5. Towles was able to secure the Comet Kart Sales Fast Time Award on Saturday.
If your name was Bradon or Brandon, the front was the place to be on Saturday in the KartSport North America Pro IAME Senior class, as Bradon Eves held back the efforts of Brandon Jarsocrak and Brandon Lemke for the top honors. Calvin Ming and Comet Kart Sales Fast Timer Jonathan Kotyk completed the top 5.
For the second time in 2 races, competitors in the Water for a Cause Kid Kart Class had to be on Cloud Nine. First the chance to run at Daytona, then the long backstretch at Jacksonville, which made the most minimal speed of a racing weekend seem like 100 mph. And for CJ Bowman on Day 1, that was the case, as the young driver scored the win over Comet Kart Sales Fast Timer Karsyn Walters, with Ayrton Grimm and Dusty Larson following closely behind.
Cody Hall successfully wrapped up Day1 action, taking the highly competitive Briggs and Stratton Racing Junior LO206 Class, as one of the top young Gold Cup standouts bested fellow Gold Cupper Mark Steube, Ryan Rogers, Jimmy Cole Jackson, and Nash Duyn. Steube took the Comet Kart Sales Fast Time award.
Sundays action found another recent Kid Kart graduate in the form of Caleb Gafrarar scoring his first career win in the crpracing.com Mini Swift class. To understand and appreciate the transition of these drivers from the beginning level to Mini Swift, you have to see it for yourself, as the mere difference in speed alone makes this an impressive step up to the next national level class. Chasing Gafrarar across the stripe was Sebastian Ng, followed by Comet Kart Sales Fast Time winner Brent Crews, Sam Corry, and Nicholas Terlecki.
Lance Fenderson roared back on Day 2, not only sweeping the Comet Kart Sales Fast Time honors, but also the Allison Racing Engines Pro IAME Junior class, again being chased by Ty Gibbs, with Pauley Massimino, Vincenzo Sarracino, and Alex Bertagnoli making up the top 5. With the win, Fenderson became the only driver for the weekend who was able to sweep his class and take the Checkered Motorsports Trophy, signifying Lance as the overall class winner for the weekend.
For Jason Welage, his runner up fortunes would change in the Woltjer Racing Engines Yamaha Sportsman class on Day 2, as he checked in for his first win of the weekend, topping Robert Noaker III, Rylee Engel, Comet Kart Sales Fast Timer Kaden Wharff, and Eli Trull for the Top 5.
Welage would back that up, also taking the IAME USA East Pro Swift Sportsman class, topping Noaker, Ferris, Wharff, and Rhule.
Not to be denied at his home track for a national class win, Sean Meier turned back the field Sunday, taking the finale for the Briggs and Stratton LO206 Senior drivers, topping Matt Mayes, Corey Towles, Jason Yarbrough, and Mike Greiner. Meier also claimed the Comet Kart Sales Fast Time award for the day as well.
Returning to victory lane as well was former WKA National Champion Mike Giessen, laying claim to the Sunday portion of the KartSport North America Pro IAME Senior class, topping the 3 B'S, with Brandon Jarsocrak, Saturday winner Bradon Eves, Brandon Lemke, and Derek Dignan for the top 5. Dignan's top 5 run was quite the comeback, following a grinding crash on Saturday in which his tie rod broke, sending him crashing through safety barriers, thus placing a serious crimp in his ride as well. Dignan was fine. Jarsocrack took the top pole honors for the class.
On the heels of a second place run the day prior, Karsyn Walters roared back to take the Comet Kart Sales Fast Time award, as well as the Day #2 win in the Water for a Cause Kid Kart class, topping Ayrton Grimm, James Newell, Dusty Larson, and Samuel Newell.
The finale for the weekend found Jimmy Cole Jackson taking the Briggs and Stratton LO206 Junior class finale, besting Nash Duyn, Cade Frazier, Mark Steube, and Andrew Willis, with Frazier taking the Fast Time honors.
All overall winners for the weekend received a special Overall Winners Cup for the weekend, courtesy of Checkered Motorsports.

" We are excited to offer support to the new WKA Winter Cup program by offering 5 of their champions a free race entry into our inaugural IAME Atlantic Challenge with Briggs and Stratton", stated Go Pro Motorplex partner Eric Jones. Jones also noted that several major teams have already committed to attending the August event since the announcement was made just a few days ago.
Additionally, the weekends event has also been very strategically placed on an off weekend for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. With the Motorplex right in the heart of NASCAR Race Shops in Mooresville, combined with Sprint Cup drivers looking for an opportunity to race anywhere, anytime, the Go Pro staff are currently working on getting a few of the stars of NASCAR to stop by and participate on that weekend.
More details regarding the purse, as well as prizes, will be released in the coming weeks. Be sure and stay updated to the Go Pro Motorplex website, as well as their Facebook page for additional details.
For now, Round 2 of the WKA Winter Cup at Jacksonville just became a little more important, as the Frigid Series will heat up the summer nights Aug 12 and 13 for the IAME Atlantic Challenge with Briggs and Stratton.
CONCORD, NC – World Karting Association Officials are proud to announce the designation of Red Line Synthetic Oil as the Sole Official Spec Oil provider for the Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Series, effective immediately.
Since 1979, Red Line Synthetic Oil has grown to manufacture more than 100 quality products, including Two-Stroke and Four-Stroke karting oils, as well as many other products, including gear oil and pre-mixed coolant for karts, motorcycles and ATVs, as well as motor oil, ATF, gear oil, assembly lube, fuel additives and WaterWetter™ coolant additive for automotive, powersports and industrial markets.
For the last several years, Red Line has been a participant in the WKA Manufacturers Cup Spec Oil program, joining several other companies, providing Two-Stroke oils for many Two-Cycle national competitors.
There are two eligible products for the WKA Mfg Cup program: Red Line Two-Stroke Racing Oil (#40603 for 16oz, #40605 for gallons) and Two-Stroke Kart Oil (#40403 for 16oz, #40405 for gallons) Both products are identical in formulation and are available from Red Line's large distribution network of karting and traditional distributors, including Dreamworks/Franklin, Comet, TS Racing, Cameron Karting, CKT Engines and many local shops. Many motorcycle resources (Cycle Gear, Tucker Rocky, and WPS) and automotive retailers (Jegs, Summit and Amazon) also carry the Two-Stroke Racing Oil.
Mixing Red Line's product with Sunoco Fuel, the official fuel for World Karting, trims down the variables to create a specific and consistent baseline for tech officials to reference.
The implementation of Red Line as the official sole spec oil for the Mfg Cup Series, a two-year agreement, commenced at the Margay Sprint Championships December 27-30 at Daytona International Speedway for the latest edition of Daytona KartWeek. While the WKA National Road Race Series is also part of a spec oil program, that series will continue business as usual with competitors following the Spec Oil Program guidelines that have been in use all of 2015.
CONCORD, NC – While 11 wins by different chassis's in 20 races on the Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Series was a pretty awesome start to a year, there were also at least 13 different chassis that scored a win for the first national of the year at Daytona KartWeek for the Dunlop/Xeramic National Road Race Series presented by Russell Karting, led by a familiar face, CKI.
Officially known as Competition Karting Incorporated, located in Welcome, North Carolina, the small shop, while located in the neighborhood with the Sprint Cup Series mega operation which is Richard Childress Racing, came to life yet again as the giant in the Road Race karting industry in its own right, netting 16 victories as part of those 13 different chassis companies, in the process, again taking a huge lead on the first lap in a race for constructors supremacy.
Led by Midwesterner Rick Fulks who pulled off wins in the Tru Stripe sponsored B Stock Class, as well as both days in 100cc Controlled competition, the CKI logos were flying in the breeze, sometimes at a clip of well over 140 mph on the backstretch of the World Center of Racing. Sharing in the triple success of Fulks was southerner Blake Beattie, taking the Hoosier Racing Tire Animal Lite class, as well as both days in the Clone LO206 Lite competition.
With 6 of the 16 wins shared by 2 drivers, Tim Linthicum added his name as a 2 time CKI winner, taking the CKI Yamaha Sportsman Medium Class, as well as the Yamaha Sportsman Heavy division of racing, giving 3 drivers half the CKI wins at Daytona.
And while the lead is good coming off the line, another chassis emerged as a solid Daytona contender, as Hatcher Chassis impressively scored 4 wins in the season opener, led by Ryan Hatcher, a winner in the Foster 4J Ranch sponsored Yamaha Medium class. Hatcher also scored a win in the Kion/Linde Forklifts sponsored Yamaha Heavy class, while fellow Hatcher drivers John Brown and Rusty Benson scored the other 2 wins, both in the respective Matthai Material Handling 100cc Piston Port Classes.
MGM, the 2014 Manufacturers Constructor Champion, registered 2 wins with Stephen Wheatley responsible for both, the Hoosier Racing Tire Animal Lite class, as well as Animal Medium.
Brian Wilhelm led the charge for Owl Chassis, taking the win in the Rev Clean sponsored Formula 125 class, while Mitch White claimed the other victory in The Agile Group sponsored Unlimited class.
Margay checked in for 2 wins for the week, with Milo Schoonover taking the Millers Dynotime Racing Formula 100 class, while Adam Trumbley took the other in WKA Sprint.
The only other chassis to register 2 wins over the Daytona KartWeek timeframe was Velocity, with wins by DJ Hoelzie in both Sprint 125 Shifter events.
Single wins were claimed by:
Intrepid: Stephen Bassham: WT Racing Leopard Sprint
Arrow: Jamey Brown: WT Racing Leopard Sprint
Dominator: Ron Miller: The Agile Group Unlimited
Phantom: Otto Vollmerhausen: WKA Sprint
Dragon: Stephen Flatt: Stock Honda

CONCORD, NC – The final piece to the puzzle for the 2016 National Schedule for the RLV Tuned Exhaust Products Gold Cup Series has been put into place, as WKA Officials have announced a return to the Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, South Carolina for the series finale, as well as the Grand National event October 7-9.
The completion of the schedule for the 4 Cycle competitors caps off what has already been a great start for the LO206 Junior and Senior classes, following a phenomenal start at Daytona for KartWeek in the first annual Winter Cup Series event, in which 40 Senior competitors took to the track, along with a strong field of 17 Juniors.
While that momentum will continue Feb 5-7 at 103rd Street Sports Complex in Jacksonville, Florida, and March 4-6 at Go Pro Motorplex in Mooresville, North Carolina, the season will just be beginning a month and a half later when the Gold Cuppers hit Jacksonville for the season opener April 15-17. Adding the 2 events at Kershaw, as well as a return for the 4-cycle contingent to the Midwest at New Castle Motorsports Park in Indiana, the run for the Gold Cup crown will be tougher than ever.
In addition to the April Jax event serving as the season opener, the event will also mark a return for the Year End Awards presentation, once held at the track, and at other times during the course of history at other locations in the area. The Awards Presentation will follow the Friday Afternoon Money Events, which will again return to the lineup, headlined by the pair of $200 to win Sportsman and Junior Pro Gas Shootout races, along with the annual Senior Pro Gas Money Race to wind down the Friday on-track action.
As many have seen quite a few months ago, the Class Structure for 2016 has changed a bit, with this year serving as the first year in many without any Methanol classes. In its place will be an all-new Masters Senior Class for LO206 competitors age 40 and older. The class will run a Final 1/Final 2 format each race weekend. A change has also occurred with the Senior Pro Gas Class, as competitors will run a Medium and Heavy class in 2016, again running a Final 1/Final 2 format. All totaled, the daily class count will remain at 11 per day with a mix of LO206 and Pro Gas Classes offered in Sportsman, Junior, and Senior. The Kid Karts will also run the LO206 package again this year.
The Entry Blank for the Jacksonville event is currently under construction, and should be available next week, along with a Banquet Form for competitors wishing to make their reservations for the 2015 Year End Awards Presentation.
With the 2016 schedule now in place, work has already begun on 2017 dates and venues, which will indeed be out much earlier for people to view. Additionally, there are also some exciting new twists to the 2017 schedule that will include even more of a variety of tracks in different locations, thus helping to balance out the definition of National Schedule.
Here is a look at the 2016 RLV Tuned Exhaust Products Gold Cup Series National Schedule:
April 15-17: 103rd Street Sports Complex, Jacksonville, Florida
June 24-26: Carolina Motorsports Park, Kershaw, South Carolina
Aug 5-7: New Castle Motorsports Park, New Castle, Indiana
Oct 7-9: Carolina Motorsports Park, Kershaw, South Carolina, Grand National

Press release - CG014(2014)
Local and regional democracy in the United Kingdom
Strasbourg, 26 March 2014 – The Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe has examined a report on the situation of local and regional democracy in the United Kingdom at its 26th session. The Congress rapporteurs Angelika Kordfelder (Germany SOC) and Alexander Uss (Russia, EPP/CCE) expressed satisfaction that, on the whole, the situation of local and regional democracy in the United Kingdom fulfilled the commitments entered into by that country under the European Charter of Local Self-Government.
However, they regretted that local self-government was not constitutionally or legislatively enshrined in the United Kingdom and noted that local and regional authorities did not have adequate financial resources.
The Congress recommends that the United Kingdom authorities develop more institutionalised consultation arrangements for local government and take steps to reduce the financial constraints on local authorities resulting from cuts and indebtedness.
Furthermore, it encourages the United Kingdom authorities to review their declaration on the scope of the Charter in order to include the Greater London Authority and Northern Ireland.
The United Kingdom ratified the European Charter of Local Self-Government in 1998. The countries having ratified the Charter are bound by its provisions. The Charter imposes respect for a minimum core of principles that form the first European foundation for local self-government. The Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe ensures that those principles are respected.

N'awwww, Sirius. He's great. I actually visualized him with similar hair to the Sirius in this picture. I mean, I don't think the Dementors would let you get regular haircuts, so I'd figure that his hair would be very long from twelve years worth of being in Askaban.
Why must you degrade yourself so? All of your art is so impressive.......
Also Fav'd, by the way.

Oh God, I miss sirius *sob* I still can't believe she killed him off *^* This drawing makes me miss him even more T_____T It's absolutely beautiful though, It's weird that this is exactly how I pictured Sirius ...... ToT Definetly +fav
Ah, Sirius... *sigh* "in memory of" seeing this makes me kind of sad... ~_~;; But it's a very beautiful picture! ^^ ..and his expression, that look on his face seems so... i dont know.. regretful? wistful? (but then again, i doubt i know what i'm talking about. ~_~)
THATS how I pictured Sirius . . . only a bit older but yes, I like the long hair!
