Zooey Deschanel, what hath thou wrought?
Okay, so Zooey generally looks fairly put-together. But the quirksome, infantilized woman-children she so often plays seem to have leaked into mainstream culture to the point where major fashion brands like Madewell are styling their models like they're trying out for Charlize Theron's role on Arrested Development. I'm all for dressing whimsically, but there's a difference between selecting a cutesy print and making people wonder if you're developmentally disabled and/or engaged in some sort of adult baby fetish play. Click through to see what I mean.

Jessica (Jess) Lourey is the author of the critically acclaimed Murder-by-Month mysteries, written with "a splendid mix of humor and suspense." In FEBRUARY FEVER, the latest addition to the series, airplane-averse heroine Mira James decides to take a train to visit an old friend. When a passenger is found murdered, it's up to Mira to track down the killer --- or end up derailed...permanently. In this interview with Bookreporter.com's Amie Taylor, Lourey talks about how Mira has grown throughout the series, the art of naming a character, and why she'll never get too old for bathroom humor. She also shares fellow mystery authors who have inspired her and a hilarious story about how Amtrak was a little less than enthusiastic about accommodating her research.
Feb 6, 2015
Kristin Hannah is the bestselling author of more than 20 novels. Her latest is a bit of a departure for her: THE NIGHTINGALE is a sweeping work of historical fiction that tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, as each embarks on her own dangerous path toward survival, love and freedom in German-occupied France. In this interview, Hannah discusses the brave Belgian who inspired her to tell the story of the women's war, as well as the pros and cons of writing fiction that adheres so resolutely to history. She also shares her favorite scene in the novel, how she overcame her nerves in order to actually write it, and what she hopes readers will take away from the story.

Scott McCloud, comics' most eloquent and prolific theorist, is best known for his explications of the form: UNDERSTANDING COMICS and its follow-ups, REINVENTING COMICS and MAKING COMICS. But starting in the late 1980s --- even before he turned to non-fiction --- McCloud began his comics career with an American superhero manga series, Zot!. And this year, for the first time ever, McCloud puts his talents to an original graphic novel, the absolutely monumental THE SCULPTOR. Here, McCloud sits down with The Book Report Network staffer and GraphicNovelReporter site coordinator John Maher to discuss his newest work, his history in comics and why he prefers the pen to the hammer and chisel. Note: This interview is chock full of SPOILERS!

Greer Macallister is a poet, short story writer, playwright, and now novelist, whose debut, THE MAGICIAN'S LIE, is getting great buzz. It's the spellbinding story of a notorious illusionist accused of murder: When the Amazing Arden swaps her saw for a fire ax, Officer Virgil Holt will have to decide if it's a new trick or an all-too-real murder. But will Arden reveal her secrets, even when her life is at stake? In this interview with Bookreporter.com's Kate Ayers, Macallister talks about her fascination with Adelaide Herrmann, the "Queen of Magic" and the inspiration for Arden, and how a glaring absence in Adelaide's history moved her to write this story. She also shares how she was quickly disillusioned of any romantic ideas she had about research, as well as which authors have had the greatest influence on her.
Texas-born Greg Baxter now lives in Berlin, where he writes and translates. His latest book, MUNICH AIRPORT, is about an unnamed, expatriate narrator who is waiting in Munich's fog-bound airport with his father and a US consul to transport the corpse of his sister to America. Baxter deftly weaves flashbacks throughout the story in order to bring his narrator's pain and conflict into sharper relief. In this interview, he discusses how he was able to use flashbacks in a way that feels emotionally honest and organic to the story, as well as the unusual role music plays in his novel.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (78 votes).
In short: Challenging end to a cool raceIn full: Parking at the start of the race was a bit of a nightmare due to congestion but after that the whole experience was very good. Good support on the course some challenging miles towards the end...would definitely do it again.Date of review: May 7, 2012
In short: Defiantly one of the "feel good" races on the calendar!In full: What a surprisingly excellent course & race! Great start once we got onto the main road with plenty of space to find a comfy pace, then into the traffic free country lanes that where a pleasure to run on! Fantastic support in all the villages we went through, ample drinks stations & I must say the best marshalling I've come across!. everything was 5* about this race including the last quarter of a mile which opened up into quite the epic, noisy & satisfying finish imaginable!Date of review: May 6, 2012
In full: Great race well organised and well supported by the good people of Lichfield, Whittington and Fradley. Start is a little congested and needs tweaking but didn't detract from a fantastic day, Water statons were frequent but would suggest smaller bottles of water. PB potential with some sneaky little hills thrown in just for fun. Overall, great race, fantastic finish will definitely be back next year....... Oh little disappointed with my momento, would have preferred a medal, although I am a medal junkie!Date of review: May 6, 2012
In short: Great In full: Had a great run found it a nice cool down after VLM and well organised. One gripe tho urinals next to the car park where every one can see you take a pee and not enough portaloos for 1400 runners bursting for a pee that might count as 2 gripes. But thoroughly enjoyed the run plenty of water stations and an isotonic station too. I'll be back next year for sure nice finish and plenty of support quiet in places but very scenic th elast hump back bridge was a little cheeky on the legs as well. Date of review: May 6, 2012
In short: nice scenic undulating course - execellent support, marshalls and organisationIn full: Great race with a few challenging stages. Very well organised, supported and huge thanks to the friendly marshalls. Start is a little cramped and difficult to get going. Overall a fantastic race- would definately recommend.Date of review: May 6, 2012
In short: Superb organisation and great courseIn full: Very scenic course with plenty of variety to keep you interested. Seemed to be more water stops than last year and the marshalling and volunteers really were excellent. Mildly challenging which is good and great atmosphere at the end - really well done to Paul and everyone else at kpevents.Date of review: May 6, 2012
In short: I've just completed the Lichfield half and was very impressed - lovely scenic route with friendly locals who were very supportive. Only gripe is that cups rather than bottles of water would have been much better. Hope to be back next year!Date of review: May 6, 2012
In full: Very enjoyable.Great support on route from general public and marshalls.Very nice course.Definate PB potential.Nice to get memento and cap instead of usual teeshirt.Only quibble is the start.Suggest markers indicating predicted finish times? Will def be back next year. Date of review: May 6, 2012
In short: Smashing, Super, GreatIn full: Excellent organisation, great marshalling, loved the support through the villages and the friendliest police officers I've ever met. As a slower runner I think someone else must of had the goodies out of my goody bag I only got a memento and baseball cap oh and lots of advertising literature. Never mind had a great time and I'll be back next year. Thank you KP Events and well done for organising the sunshine.Date of review: May 6, 2012
In short: A very pleasant race...In full: I wasn't in best condition to run this race today but I'm so glad I made the effort to run it. It was very well organised and there was a good atmosphere throughout. The marshals along the route were very encouraging. Will definitely try to get this into my schedule for next year.

|"I have awaited this - the day you would come..."
|Welcome to the Uncyclopedia!
|Oh, hello, RockoRocks, nice that you decided to make an account into... umm... there, this place...
Umm... Anyways, we're proud of you for making such a wise decicion. We are (and we're going to be) also thankful because of your contributions, but in any case, please read the text below so you won't end up too quickly.
When you are in conversation with other Hungry Spirits of Uncyclopedia, please remember to
At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but it certainly is a fun and easy way to express your creativity. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:RockoRocks/Article about stuff) so you may edit it at your leisure. If you decide to create it in the cold world of mainspace, make sure it is in accordance with the policies laid out above, and if you're not done slap a construction template - {{construction}} - onto it as well.
Well, of course, we here at Uncyclopedia have lots of action and games, so you wouldn't get bored. Often articles will require proofreading, among other fix ups, and we could always use more reviewers, and for the more artistic of folks, there's the option of creating images to aid articles that need more images and making them prettier, for instance. Uncyclopedia also sometimes has big competitions, like PLS and others.
If you're still feeling uneasy, come out of the closet and ask from me, admins, IRC, Village Dump or then go and ask from Lyrithya. She knows everything. Really. And don't forget that you can be always adopted in Adopt-a-Noob program, the best adoption program in the world.
So, again, welcome!
Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 18:34, 23 December, 2012 (UTC)
Jeroen overeem
Hello, it is me, Cat, the one who just welcomed you. It seems you put the article of Jeroen overeem into VFD few moments ago, and today I'm here to tell you about the wonders of QVFD. QVFD is a place where worthy craps like Jeroen overeem are put once immediatly once they are born. QVFD is a plce for much crappier pages than the ones which get to VFD, where an admin check the article and deltes it immediatly without any voting if it is too crappy. By crappy articles I mean pages like Jeroen overeem which are too short/vanity/cyberbullying/in another language/just simply crappy. From now on, if you see an article thaty matches one of these examples, put it on QVFD, not VFD. Thank you. Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 18:40, 23 December, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, and also, I'd like to tell you another thing about QVFD. Go into your preferences, to the 'Gadgets'-section, scroll down to the 'Maintance Gadgets', and there should be a button to allow the QVFD-gadget for your use. With that, you can put crappy pages to QVFD without copying and pasting the name all around. And thank you from your recent contributions! Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 18:45, 23 December, 2012 (UTC)
- Copied from my talkpage:
- 'I can do that (Did it, thanks from telling me). I remember that you had to do a certain number of edits before you were autoconfirmed (10-20 I'm not so sure). Do something useful and cool and soon you should be autoconfirmed. Also, please sign yourself with the four ~'s so I know who's talking.
- So there you go. Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 19:00, 23 December, 2012 (UTC)
Don't leave gibberish stubs everywhere Rockorocks. You only receive a warning as you have made an account and I am humane and merciful Admin. Others of my college will look at this differently. So..take heed. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 19:53, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
- I reverted all your edits, messing around with templates and other such stuff. I read in your user page you want to be constructive..well you haven't made a good start. Anymore nonsense and it will be a ban. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 20:07, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
Candy Cane
Thank you very much from the candy cane! Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 19:25, 25 December, 2012 (UTC)
- No problem--RockoRocks (talk) 19:25, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
Rocko, your addition of this template to several articles does nothing but introduce clutter. If everyone with such an oddball notion of an attribute did so, the article would quickly become unreadable. A hard-to-read article might be absurd, but it doesn't get funnier by making it even harder to read; and our articles should not be hard to read in the first place, the goal being amusing the reader, not amusing you. Cheers. Spıke Ѧ 19:32 25-Dec-12
- I have removed the template sorry --RockoRocks (talk) 19:38, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, Rocko. Why don't you try your hand at creating a new, funny article? There is a list at Uncyclopedia:Requested articles. Spıke Ѧ 19:43 25-Dec-12
- Well, to be honest i'm happy i'm not blocked or such because recently i've been making some bad edits but i won't do that anymore because i now know what is stupid and what is funny. Contact me if i screw up again or something. Also i'll try to make some of the Requested Articles. Who knows, maybe i can write something really funny. It's just that i don't really have any good ideas. And no, drugs don't help me get ideas.
--RockoRocks (talk) 19:47, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
I can't block anyone, and there is no deadline to write anything. The key is to understand how you are going to make a given article funny. I wouldn't write until you are sure you have such a concept. Or, you could start an article in your own userspace, such as User:RockoRocks/Defibrillator and hope that you'll see a plan after you get started. PS--Please reply here instead of my talk page, so the whole conversation is in the same place. Spıke Ѧ 19:52 25-Dec-12
- Seriously, write something. The first three articles I wrote were deleted. That was because they were shit. And also because I didn't know you could write stuff in your own USER name, and then develop them a bit before moving them into the mainspace. Either that, or find the list of articles in need of help and just a few bits - no one could object to that. Also, thanks for the vote--Sog1970 (talk) 21:17, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
- SEarch for "Category:Articles to be expanded" and add to one of the articles. They're all slated as being to short and they'll only get deleted if you don't improve them. And if you make them worse they'll just get deleted anyway or reverted to how they were before. the sooner you start writing bullshit the better. The world needs more BS--Sog1970 (talk) 21:24, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Bizzeebeaver already answered you in my talkpage. You have to get 'autoconfirmed' (stick with us few days and you'll be that.) to edit the page. Be patient and shall be rewarded. Or cursed. I actually don't know which one is worse... Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 18:38, 27 December, 2012 (UTC)
Your mom
(The article, that is.) I'm going to revert you on this. If you want to add a picture, okay, but don't just stack them up at the start of the article. Separately, get a dictionary, try to find "renderation," and you will find the word you are looking for. Cheers. Spıke Ѧ 21:42 28-Jan-13
Reminder: Whenever you vote, adjust the relevant count. Or as I say, "What am I, your mother???" Thanks. Spıke Ѧ 21:06 11-Feb-13

text: Seeing the light: Ed Boyden's tools for brain hackers Magazine Features 20 November 12 by Ed Yong This article was taken from the November 2012 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.Ed Boyden, an engineer turned neuroscientist, makes tools for brain hackers. In his lab at MIT, he's built a robot that can capture individual neurons and uses light potentially to control major diseases -- all in his quest to 'solve the brain'. To break into a neuron within a living brain, you need a good eye, extreme patience, months of training, and the ability to suck with gentle care. A mouse lies in front of you, brain exposed. Your mission is to impale one of its neurons with the micrometre-wide tip of a glass pipette.An electrode in the pipette measures the resistance at its tip, and relays the signal to a monitor. You're watching out for the subtle spikes that tell you that the tip has struck cellular gold. When it is in place, you suck on a rubber tube connected to the pipette - gently at first, to form a seal, and then slightly harder to create a small hole.If it works, you now have full access to the neuron's inner workings. You can inject a dye through the hole to map the cell's many branches. You can measure its electrical activity as it communicates with its neighbours. You can suck out its contents to analyse the chemicals inside it. If you did that for hundreds of connected neurons, you could start to understand the molecules and electric pulses behind the rodent's thoughts, emotions and memories.Or at least you could if this technique, known as patch-clamping, were not so frustratingly hard. Getting an electrode to impale a single neuron is difficult enough in a dish. Doing it on a living animal is so tedious and arcane that only a few dozen people in the world can pull it off. And forget about studying networks -- to date, the record for the most individual cells patch-clamped in a live brain is two. In an age when brain scanners can produce vivid portraits of mental activity and 3D printers can fabricate organs, patch-clamping seems like an anachronistic relic from a different time. But no more -- a technique that has stayed the same for over 30 years is being brought into the 21st century by Ed Boyden.Boyden, 33, makes tools for brain hackers. From his lab at MIT, he is building technology that will vastly expand the range of experiments that other scientists can pull off. His latest invention is a classic example: a robot that patch-clamps as well as a human scientist, with none of the fatigue or variability. It works all day. It does not need lunch breaks. It has transformed a technique that had only been mastered by an elite few into something that anyone can do, and hundreds of labs are queuing up to buy or make an auto-patcher of their own. Boyden published a description of the robot in May this year. He says, "After our paper came out, I got an email saying, 'I just spent a year learning how to do that. Thanks. There goes that'."Boyden has a gentle demeanour but speaks so rapidly that he keeps a treasury of tea at hand to soothe his throat. "I tend to forget to breathe," he says. His ideas flow as quickly as his words. "Even among that elite group [at MIT], Ed stands apart. His ambition is audacious," says Craig Forest from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Boyden's partner on the auto-patcher project. Other colleagues agree. "It's regular to hear him say something like, 'I want to solve the brain.' Period. Nothing after that," says Anthony Zorzos, one of Boyden's graduate students. "But for a guy who says things like that, he's pretty down to earth.""Solving the brain" is as difficult as it sounds. A cubic millimetre of brain tissue can house 100,000 neurons, sending signals across a billion connections in mere thousandths of a second. This cross-talk is what turns a lump of spongy tissue into the most sophisticated computer in existence. It is also impenetrable to modern methods. We can zoom out to scan broad regions encompassing millions of cells, or zoom in to dissect the traits of individual ones, but the intermediate world of circuits still eludes us. Boyden likens our current technology to studying one pixel on a computer screen at a time. "Even if you buy a million screens, you won't understand how a computer works by looking at that one pixel," he says. "I'd rather have one computer and look at everything in it." The auto-patcher is one of the tools that Boyden is developing to observe neural circuits in detail, to better understand how the brain computes.But voyeurism is not enough. Boyden is also designing tools to tweak, trigger and silence neural circuits, offering a degree of control that neuroscience has always lacked. For a long time, studying the brain meant finding correlations. Scientists measured how blood flow or electrical activity changed as we carried out mental tasks, and they noted how injuries and disease affected those abilities. But to establish causality, you have to stimulate neural circuits, as well as watch them. A movie, drug or electric shock will do the trick, but we need tools to stimulate specific sets of cells, not vast swathes of neurons.The most famous of these is the one that made Boyden's name: optogenetics. By implanting neurons with light-sensitive proteins called opsins, harvested from algae, microbes and other creatures, scientists can stimulate or silence them with a simple optic fibre. Boyden pioneered optogenetics in 2005, with Karl Deisseroth from Stanford University. Now, it is used by thousands of scientists around the world.The opsins can be loaded into neurons within just one part of the brain, or into neurons that secrete a certain type of signalling chemical. Flash the right set and you can steer an animal's movements, send it to sleep or make it aggressive. Silence the right ones and you could potentially calm the hyperactivity that accompanies epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. "I'm wary of using the term revolutionary but I don't think it's an overstatement for optogenetics," says Robert Desimone, director of MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research and one of Boyden's collaborators. "It has affected virtually every lab working in neuroscience."In Boyden's endgame, neuroscientists will use these tools to observe and control large networks of neurons at once. Imagine recording the activity of thousands of cells as a memory is formed, and then triggering the same pattern of activity to see what happens. These are the experiments that Boyden is working towards. With a background in physics and electronics, he brings an engineer's mindset to the messy world of brain science. "The premise I put to people who start in my group is: assume the brain is solved in 50 years, and that we'll need to invent lots of new tools to get there. What are those tools, and which one should we work on now?"The tools he builds are varied, but all of them are meant to be easy to use, and to accelerate the process of discovery. Many scientists are content to slowly chisel away at the bounds of our knowledge, but Boyden is building jackhammers for them to wield. "Imagine all possible neuroscience experiments," he says. "You could pick a brain region, a type of cell, a behaviour and a disease. You might study how the interneurons of the cerebellum are involved in spatial memory or Alzheimer's. There are billions of such experiments. If you're going to solve the brain in 50 years, doing billions of PhD theses isn't how you go about it." That is exactly the kind of attitude that neuroscience needs, according to Desimone. "Ed comes in from the outside and shakes things up," he says. "You keep on asking yourself: why didn't people in the field come up with that?" Read page 2 123 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

ATLANTA, Ga. -- To use an analogy, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed has made it clear he wants to buy the car, but he's just not sure yet what to pay for it.
Only minutes after surprising his State of the City speech audience by announcing he'll seek a second term, Reed also made it clear Wednesday that he will take a lead role in pushing a brand new stadium for the Atlanta Falcons.
Not only that, but he offered to let the success or failure of the deal fall squarely on his shoulders during his re-election campaign this year.
"The buck stops with me and so if we're successful in addressing this, the repercussions from that, I think, are going to fall with me and I'm comfortable with that," Reed told reporters after his speech.
Calling for bipartisan cooperation, he compared the $1-billion project to the city's other past successes, such as the 1996 Olympics and the world's busiest airport.
The mayor believes the city can't afford to lose the Falcons, but added that he is still being briefed and hasn't made up his mind if the city should pay $200-million or $300-million of the cost in hotel motel tax proceeds.
Some predict it could end up costing much more.
To him, it's all in the deal.
"It is in the interest of the city and this state to find something that's reasonable; I am listening intensely to taxpayers though, so we're trying to find a reasonable arrangement," he added.

A Republican proposal to ban abortions in Colorado and make it a crime to perform them failed in a Democrat-controlled committee.
One Republican lawmaker joined six Democrats on the committee to defeat the bill Tuesday on a 7-4 vote. Republican Rep. Kathleen Conti called the measure "too extreme."
The legislation would have banned abortions in Colorado and make it a class 3 felony to perform them.
The bill would have exempted cases where a doctor performed an abortion to prevent the death of the mother and when an unborn child died accidentally during medical treatment.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. The mayor of Kansas City says search crews have found a body in the rubble of a Kansas City restaurant destroyed by an explosion.
Mayor Sly James did not say whether the person was a man or a woman.
Authorities have been looking for a woman who worked at JJ's restaurant and was reported missing after the Tuesday evening blast. They previously said she was the only person still unaccounted for following the explosion and fire.
But James said Wednesday morning at a news conference that authorities can't be sure that every person who may have been at the restaurant has been accounted for.
He says 15 people were injured in the blast and fire. Six are still hospitalized, and nine have been released.
Authorities also are still trying to determine the full cause of the blast. Schulte says they do know there was a gas leak followed by an explosion. At this point, he says authorities believe it may have stemmed from an accident involving a utility contractor.
Earlier police spokeswoman Rhonda Flores said it appeared that a car crashed into a gas main near JJ's just after 6 p.m.
People have been cleared from the area around the restaurant.

The Shitzu Vader is a motorcycle featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony, and Grand Theft Auto V.
The Shitzu logo can be seen in first person POV, looking backwards will reveal the SHITZU logo. The police refer to it as a "Shitzu Vader" over their radio.
The bikes overall design appears to be inspired by early Kawasaki Z1000 models, featuring a similar shaped body and seat layout.
The Vader has a great top speed, but sub-par acceleration and braking ability. The bike features a lightweight body, which is beneficial through corners, as this grants the Vader very responsive handling. The lightweight body also means the Vader can easily perform wheelies because of the ease with which the front can be lifted by characters. The bike is however good for tricks as the poor brakes allow for better control during slides and endos.
There are two variations of this bike. One (pictured above) has twin exhausts mounted under the seat, and no license plate; while the other has large twin side exhausts and a Liberty City license plate.
- The Vader has the highest top speed (193 mph) of any bike available in TBoGT [1]
- The name is an obvious nod to Darth Vader, the main antagonist of the Star Wars movies.
- The name could also be a reference to the former WWE wrestler, Leon Allen White, a.k.a. Big Van Vader.
- Vader is Dutch for the word "Father".
- Vader is the name of a Brutal Death Metal band from Olsztyn, Poland.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
- The player can spawn the Vader via the cheat code: 625-555-3273.
- May also rarely spawn in parts of Algonquin and Alderney.
- Spawns in traffic in TBoGT multiplayer.
- Appears more frequently if the player is driving a Coquette or Super GT, especially around The Triangle and southern Alderney.
Grand Theft Auto V

- Akuma, a similar sportsbike in The Ballad of Gay Tony.

Officials say ice on Maine's waterways is already melting and warmer temperatures are forecast for this weekend.
Be careful venturing onto Maine's ice-covered waterways because the ice is "quickly becoming unstable." That's the message today from the Maine Warden Service and the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
The warning comes after a man in a pickup truck fell through the ice while trying to retrieve an ice fishing shack from Hermon Pond in central Maine. The man was able to get out of the truck safely, wardens say.
Officials say ice is already melting and warmer temperatures are forecast for this weekend. The Warden Service is advising people to test the thickness of ice using an ice chisel or ice auger, to check with local bait shops for known thin ice areas, and to avoid driving on ice.

Medicine, or medical science, is the science and practice of treating damage and ailments that affect the mind or body of a humanoid. It also deals in the prevention and diagnosis of said damage and ailments.
In the late 20th century, the fad known as cryonics froze people at the time of death with the hope that some time in the future, when presumably medical science had a cure for whatever killed them, they would be thawed back to life, healed and sent on about their business. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")
In the 24th century, the Federation had a policy of not restricting access to its medical supplies. William Riker informed Governor Vagh of this policy when informed that Kriosian rebels had been found to be in possession of Federation medical supplies in 2367. (TNG: "The Mind's Eye")

Scott comes up short in bid to win two Late Model track titlesBy: Roseville Press Tribune Staff Reports
Matt Scott came up short in his bid to win two track championships.
One week after winning his third consecutive Late Model points title at All American Speedway in Roseville, Scott had twin 50-lap main events to overcome a 26-point deficit Saturday night at Stockton 99 Speedway.
Scott finished third in the first feature and fourth in the second main. Points leader Jeff Belletto of Modesto finished fourth in the opener and clinched the title when he took the green flag to start the finale.
When Belletto won the race, Scott was right where he started when he arrived at the track — 26 points behind.
Mangini wins Legends feature at All American Speedway
Tony Mangini squeezed out a victory in the Legends of the Pacific 35-lap main event Saturday night at All American Speedway.
Mangini beat Chase Majic to the checkered flag by .358 of a second, and third- and fourth-place finishers Frankie Marks and Logan Zampa were within a second of the winner in the 18-car race.
Marks led the first eight laps before dash winner Jeremy Wood took over. Wood led through lap 32, and Mangini moved in front for good when Wood and second-place Danny Allen crashed.
Mangini topped qualifying at 15.221 seconds around the one-third-mile paved oval. Joe Leduc and Danny Allen won the eight-lap heats.

More layoffs in the stateline.
Dozens of employees at the Kelly Springfield Tire Pant in Freeport are the next to go. Goodyear representatives say they will eliminate 30 salaried jobs at the Freeport plant and more than 500 across the country.
The cost-cutting move is part of the agreement Goodyear reached with united steelworkers union members earlier this month. Under the agreement Goodyear will reduce operating costs by laying off managers and salaried staff on its payroll.
More cost-cutting moves are expected to be announced next week.

Over the last three years, the federal government has increasingly regulated, investigated, and fined the pharmaceutical industry. Now, the states are taking their turn. Amidst rising state Medicaid costs, constituent concern over DTC advertising, and public scrutiny of industry motives, individual states are enacting their own legislation regulating industry behavior. However, while OIG guidelines focused on providing companies a broad ethical-operating framework, the states have enacted laws requiring more specific actions.
In the past, companies would develop local responses when a state passed legislation regulating industry practices. When Minnesota created its law limiting gifts to healthcare providers in 1993, most pharma companies developed policies and training programs only for sales reps in that state. When Vermont enacted its marketing-cost disclosure law in 2002, companies again used a localized approach to frame their responses. Only in 2004, when California enacted its law requiring companies to establish a comprehensive compliance program that included an annual spend limit on healthcare professionals, did some firms begin to consider the impact of the new law on the overall business approach—as opposed to just the business in one particular state.

Lee's Speed
You keep adding that Lee was able to match Guy's timing. That's unnecessary bravado and nitpicking.

Davis Baits Shaky Worm 6" 10pk
Based on year's testing and fishing experience, the Davis Baits Shaky Worms were designed to be the ultimate worm for fishing with shaky heads. Now available in new tri-color formulations for added realism in clear water, the plastic is also even softer than before for more movement than ever before. Each bait also contains salt so fish hold on longer for better hooksets, and they still float to deliver the action you need at the end of your shaky head. When the going gets tough, look for the the Davis Baits Shaky Worms.
Pair the Davis Baits Shaky Worm with the Davis Baits Shaky Head for the ultimate presentation.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Disappointed in this worm. I paired it with Aaron Marten's Shaky Head from Davis Bait, the worm does not stand up on the bottom. The jig head rolls over, and the paint chips off rather easily. You're better off getting an Owner Shaky Ultrahead and pairing it with a Strike King 3X Elaztech Finesse Worm. If you don't like the Twist-lock setup, the Owner Ultrahead Finesse Ball Head and SK Elaztech Finesse worm also works great. You'll get a lot more fish on one SK worm than with these Aaron Marten worms which are fairly fragile. Nice colors, though..
