Eagles because they contain Tiki.
Patriots because Tom is the real deal and Chad is the Pad.
Seneca roommates whip up on the Take a TO Cowboys.
Peyton passes over and around Rumbling Stumbling Larry Johnson.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
I'm gonna go:
Eagles, because the Giants tried their damndest not be in the playoffs anyway
Pats, P-A-T-S. Pats, Pats, Pats
Cowboys, because I hate t.o. and they'll win to spite me
Chiefs, LJ runs for 300 yards in a 35-34 win
Chiefs win this game mark it down...and I am a huge Colts fan.
EAGLES because they DON'T have TO (thank God)
The Pats they stole the Raider nation mantra. "just win baby"
Seattle b/c ... ah just see the Eagles reason
Manning in the dome. undefeated there this year.
Philly all the way! The other 22 has the right conference but is misguided on the team
I'm going with:
the Giants (lets do it for Tiki campaign)
the Seahawks (1.I hate TO; 2. I live in Dallas, and thoroughly enjoy people throwing themselves off of bridges after their Cowboys lose; 3. TO will drop the would be winning TD)
the Patriots (no way pupil beats master 2x on road in one season)
the Colts (everyone is talking up the Chiefs so much, watch LJ not crack 100 yds and more than 1 TD)
Vitte, Dulcedo, Sipes
Eagles - NY is struggling now and Philly is on fire.
Patriots - Yeah, the Jets won there in the regular season but this is a whole different ballgame and the Jets just aren't that good.
Seahawks - Romo's been falling apart and it's going to be loud in Seattle. I heard they sold out in 15 minutes or something amazing like that.
Colts - I'll be cheering for my Chiefs but it seems like too many people are picking them for the upset based soley on the rushing matchup. That will be huge and will keep the Chiefs in the game but I still see Manning having his way with the KC defense unless they can get a few turnovers.
Either way I'm excited to see KC back in the playoffs and playing without any pressure on them. I can't wait until Saturday.
Eagles-how can u not say eagles, they are awesome right now
Pats- Brady goes crazy i think, and hobbs gets a pick or 2
Seahawks-Dallas ..just sucks
LJ and the Chiefs-Colts cant stop the run
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
seattle hasn't played good late either, I'd go with dallas
Philly by 10+, the Giants aren't good and Philly has been playing lights out.
Pats, the Jets offense AND defense are both very mediocre...not sure how they got in.
Seattle, could be Dallas if Romo shows up. The Dallas D has been shaky as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas won.
Indy, too good in the dome at home. The real question is does LJ run for 400 yards...
How many yards will LJ get? And does Ty Law still have that mental edge on Peyton? Law hasn't had the best year but I bet all those picks are still in Peyton's head.
I just want the Eagles & Cowboys to both win so that the Bears get to ****-pound Dallas next week.

Nearly 3,000 women turned out in downtown Vancouver on Sunday morning for the Girlfriends Half Marathon, a fundraiser for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
In its fifth year, the event raised an estimated $50,000 for the Komen foundation, said Sherri McMillan, owner of Northwest Personal Training and the run sponsor.
"This year, we grew by 1,000 women, and it was so smooth," McMillan said Sunday afternoon.
She noted that firefighters at the finish line presented runners with necklaces and other treats included chocolate, massages and tea and cookies.
McMillan said she started the event to support her friend Joleen Skarberg of Vancouver, who was fighting breast cancer. Cancer-free for four years, Skarberg competed at Sunday's race, as she has each year, along with family members.
The 13.1-mile race took runners to Wintler Park on the Columbia River and back to downtown via the Vancouver Land Bridge and Officers Row.
For more details on the run, see Tuesday's Community Sports page.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Devin Harris had 27 points, including a career-high six 3-pointers, and the Utah Jazz continued to jockey for a playoff spot with a 112-91 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night.
The Jazz, with just three games to play, are locked in a battle for the remaining playoff spots in the Western Conference with Houston, Phoenix, Dallas and Denver.
Gordon Hayward added 23 points for the Jazz, who led by as many as 31 points. Al Jefferson had 11 points and 10 rebounds for his team-high 29th double-double this season.
Wesley Matthews had 21 points for the Blazers, who had already been eliminated from the playoffs.
Midway through the final quarter Utah's Derrick Favors and DeMarre Carroll bumped heads. Carroll stayed prone on the court for several moments after the collision, but walked to the bench. The nature of the injury was not immediately known.


text: Our shop just got these maps in which I'm extatic about. It shows primary, secondary and trail routes. The primary and secondary are recommended roads to ride on. Its looks better than it is though... the roads don't give you very good coverage of the city, and many are in very bad condition, but its a start at least. They just need to work on connecting the bike paths now.

Nelson De Jesús
Nelson is a farmer and he also works in town selling sorbets. He learned farming from his father and he learned sorbet selling from a friend who offered him a job. Currently this work is going very well for Nelson. The place where he farms is at a 5 minute walking distance from his home, and the other place where he works takes a 30 minute bus ride. He does his farm work from 6:00 a.m. until noon, and when he leaves to sell sorbets he works from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.
The loan that he is requesting from CrediCampo will be used for preparation of the land to plant corn, to pay the rent for the land, and to buy farming supplies. With the help of the loan he can cover these necessities.
Nelson's plan is to continue working so he can improve his home. This is his biggest dream, together with his wife. The loan will help them to improve corn production and later sell it, and to save little by little to improve their home. They will achieve all of this, working together for one common goal.
Nelson es agricultor y también se dedica a la venta de sorbetes en la ciudad, la agricultura la aprendió de su padre y a la venta de sorbetes lo aprendió por un amigo que le ofreció trabajo, y ahora le va muy bien a Nelson realizando esta actividad, el lugar donde cultiva está a una distancia de 5 minutos caminando desde su casa, y el lugar donde realiza está a 30 minutos en autobús, el trabajo agrícola lo hace de 6:00 AM a 12:00 MD y cuando sale a vender sorbetes lo hace de 2:00 AM a 5:00 PM.
El préstamo que él está solicitando a CrediCampo, lo utilizará para la preparación de la tierra para la siembra de maíz, cancelará la cuota por arrendamiento de la tierra y comprará los insumos agrícolas, con la ayuda del crédito él podrá cubrir estas necesidades.
Su plan es seguir trabajando para mejorar su vivienda, este es su mayor sueño junto con su esposa, el préstamo les ayudará para mejorar su producción de maíz y luego venderlo y poco a poco ahorrar para mejorar su casa todo esto lo lograran trabajando juntos por un solo objetivo.

When it comes to sleep, Canadians overwhelmingly feel they are falling short, with close to 70 per cent putting better quality sleep on their wish list, according to a new national study released by Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) today. The Canadian Sleep Review 2016, which includes a discussion paper and survey implemented by Vision Critical, polled Canadians on sleep habits and attitudes. It offers insights and advice from a panel of leading sleep experts who call on Canadians to make sleep a priority — both to feel better now and guard against serious long term illness.
According to the survey, many Canadians — 40 per cent — do not wake up refreshed, with irritability throughout the day, impacting all aspects of daily life. Furthermore, half of Canadians (49 per cent) admit lack of sleep affects productivity at work, and six in ten would take a nap if they could. The Canadian Sleep Review 2016 and Project Sleep, an initiative from Dairy Farmers of Canada, is part of DFC's ongoing work to explore and build awareness about serious health and social issues, which are important to its members and all Canadians
"Sleep is something all healthy Canadians need without question, and concerns of a general lack thereof are what prompted Dairy Farmers of Canada to raise awareness about the subject," says Caroline Emond, executive director, Dairy Farmers of Canada. "Helping Canadians gain a better understanding of their sleep requirements is a step towards a healthier Canada. Our goal is to help foster the discussion and raise the sleep priority."
Developed in partnership with DDB Canada, the Project Sleep campaign includes a series of television, radio, digital and social executions that target those suffering from sleep deprivation. The 60- and 30-second spot "Goodnight Canada" is a mesmerizing, visual-lullaby of lights turning off accompanied by Canadian singer-songwriter Hayden performing his own rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." Whereas the two 15-second spots and 5-second prerolls take a different approach and show a dairy farmer staying up late to help viewers who are sleep deprived, by telling them a bedtime story or shushing them to sleep.
"Like all Canadians, dairy farmers place immense value on a good night's sleep," says Paul Wallace, executive creative director, DDB Canada Toronto. "To help Dairy Farmers of Canada champion the cause of sleep, the new campaign seeks to raise awareness of Canada's sleep issue and provide solutions to those looking for a better night's rest."
All creative executions drive to http://www.projectsleep.ca/ where Canadians can go to learn more about the campaign. Between the hours of 10 pm and 6 am, a sleep state is activated on the site, encouraging users to turn off their screens and go to sleep. For those having difficulty falling asleep, the volume can be turned up to hear ambient white noise to help induce sleep. Designed by DDB Canada and developed by Mirum, the digital hub includes aggregated social and editorial content on sleep advice, issues and rituals that promote sleep. Users may also view the discussion paper, where experts weighed in with insights and comments on The Canadian Sleep Review 2016, in an effort to explore the current state of sleep in Canada and provide perspective.
Targeting behavior and not a demographic, Initiative's media strategy and buy includes a heavy late-night television buy and dayparting executions. Digital and social advertising is aimed at Canadians who are online late at night or searching sleep-related topics.
A national media relations program by DDB Public Relations raises awareness of the issue of sleep deprivation for Canadians, highlighting the new
The Canadian Sleep Review 2016 and drives the public to ProjectSleep.ca, where Canadians can learn more. Support for earned media activity also includes sponsored segments and blogger outreach.
The campaign launched on May 17, 2016 and will run across Canada (except Quebec) until mid-August.

Man wants statement tossed
February 06, 2014
ELKHORN — An 18-year-old Woodstock, Ill., man, who admitted to police that he used force during a sexual assault, is arguing that his statement should be tossed from evidence because he didn't understand his Miranda rights.
Armando Mezo-Reyes has been charged with felony second-degree sexual assault and misdemeanor battery. He is in custody in the Walworth County jail in lieu of a $10,000 cash bond.
Police read Mezo-Reyes his Miranda rights in English, and Mezo-Reyes is arguing that the didn't understand his rights because he primarily speaks Spanish. However, throughout his arrest, and during his interview with police, Mezo-Reyes spoke to officers in English.
Mezo-Reyes was born in Mexico and, according to his own testimony, has been in the United States for between four and five years. At Big Foot High School, where he said he finished his sophomore year, Mezo-Reyes attended classes with the assistance of a Spanish interpreter.
On Jan. 31, Judge David Reddy heard arguments from defense attorney Jeffrey Jensen to have Mezo-Reyes' interview tossed as evidence because of a violation of his client's Miranda rights. Because of time constraints, the hearing ended before the arguments were finished.
The motion hearing has been rescheduled for April 3 and District Attorney Daniel Necci is expected to cross-examine Mezo-Reyes. Necci told Reddy that he expects to have an "extensive" cross-examination and asked him to schedule two-hours for the hearing.
The arrest
According to Mezo-Reyes statements to Officer Perry Kjendlie, on Aug. 5 he was dropped off at a grocery store in Walworth where he called the victim. The victim told Mezo-Reyes that she didn't want to speak with him.
Mezo-Reyes told police that he walked to the woman's home. Mezo-Reyes used a garage door opener that was in a car parked outside of the home to gain entry into the house.
Inside of the home, Mezo-Reyes and the victim argued. During his interview with police, he admitted to police that he put the victim on the ground and that he sexually assaulted her.
After the assault, the victim called police. When police arrived Mezo-Reyes opened the door for the officers. At the scene, officer Hannah Hooper and Police Chief Chris Severt both briefly spoke to Mezo-Reyes in English. They also gave him some directions, which he followed, according to their testimony.
During the motion hearing, Necci asked Hooper and Severt if any of Mezo-Reyes responses to questions were "out-of-context or inappropriate." Both Severt and Hooper said his responses were appropriate for their questions.
At the police station, Mezo-Reyes was read his Miranda rights by officer Perry Kjendlie in English. A video recording of the interview and Kjendlie reading Mezo-Reyes his Miranda rights were played during Friday's hearing.
The entire interview, which lasted more more than a half-hour, is in English. Throughout the interview, Mezo-Reyes responds to Kjendlie's answers in English. Kjendlie read Mezo-Reyes his Miranda rights from a form from the Walworth Police Department. When Kjendlie asked Mezo-Reyes if he understood his rights, Mezo-Reyes said he didn't understand them. Kjendlie asked which one, and Mezo-Reyes responded "three" and pointed to it on the form.
Kjendlie than re-explained the right, which was to have an attorney present during questioning. After Kjendlie's second explanation, Mezo-Reyes said he understood his rights and signed the form.
At the start of the interview, Kjendlie asked Mezo-Reyes, "How is your English? Pretty good?" Mezo-Reyes responded that it was "so, so." A short-time later he asked Kjendlie if he speaks Spanish.
When Jensen questioned Kjendlie, he asked him why he didn't seek an interpreter for the interview. Kjendlie said he never thought it was necessary.
The Walworth Police Department has access to an interpreter through a phone service.
Throughout the interview, Mezo-Reyes seemed to understand Kjendlie's questions. Mezo-Reyes didn't understand a particular word that Kjendlie used. However, Kjendlie rephrased it to a slang term, and Mezo-Reyes understood him.
Defendant takes stand
Jensen called Mezo-Reyes to the stand during the motion hearing.
A Spanish to English interpreter was used to translate for Mezo-Reyes.
Mezo-Reyes said he didn't understand that he had the right to remain silent and that he didn't need to answer Kjendlie's questions.
Jensen also asked Mezo-Reyes why he asked the officer if he spoke Spanish.
"I thought that he spoke Spanish, because I don't speak English very well," Mezo-Reyes responded.
Mezo-Reyes also said he speaks Spanish at home, spoke Spanish with the victim and has directions translated for him at work.
Necci will have a chance to ask Mezo-Reyes questions during a cross-examination on April 3.

"Another typical English market town......." Devizes by leics
Devizes Travel Guide: 18 reviews and 44 photos
Why 'Devizes'? Well, it comes form the Latin 'ad divisas' (on the boundaries) developing and getting its name during Norman times when its castle was first built.
It's a smallish, busy market town in Wiltshire. I stopped off on my way home from exploring a little more of the county, so only made a brief visit. There is more to explore in Devizes than I saw and unfortunately the very old church I wanted to visit was closed (St John the Baptist, dating from the 1100s).
Devizes' very large central square shows its origins as a market town. It's mainly busy now with traffic and people, rather than its original cattle/livestock and everything-else market. If there isn't a market on the space serves as a good central car park.
There are over 100 listed (that is, recognised historical) buildings in Devizes, and there's a castle as well. Built in 1080, it is still in private ownership and as far as I know it cannot be visited. You can read a lot about it here.
This memorial/market cross in the marketplace is really interesting. On it there is a plaque, erected by the Mayor and council to record the 'awful events' of 1753. One Ruth Pierce had agreed with three other women to buy a sack of wheat at the market, but when they came to count up the money required her portion was short. Ruth strongly protested her innocence, and said that God could strike her dead if she was lying.
She duly dropped down dead on the spot, stunning and horrifying everyone present (and the money was found in her hand!).
So the Council decided to create a detailed public warning about the folly of calling down the wrath of God when one is guilty!
Although there are one or two much earlier buildings (see photo below) the majority of the buildings around the market square date from Georgian times (roughly 1714 - 1830), when the town was particularly prosperous.
Whilst a walk around Devizes is well worthwhile...there is a a 'heritage trail' you can follow, visiting buildings of historical interest (particularly with regard to the English Civil War, when the town was besieged for a time)...it has (imo) one unmissable place to visit: the Wiltshire Heritage Museum The county is stuffed with prehistoric sites, and this museum has one of the best collections of prehistoric artefacts in the country, including finds from Avebury and Stonehenge.
There's a brewery too: Wadworth's. They still deliver around the town using horse-drawn carts (I was lucky enough to see one when I visited...lovely, huge Shire horses) and you can visit the to sample their wares....
And there's a town pond as well, with ducks and grass to sit upon, and the site of the 'Moonrakers' story. Legend has it that some Wiltshire smugglers were disturbed by an excise (tax) man, and rolled their barrels of (illegally obtained and tax-free) brandy into the pond. The excise man was suspicious and returned, to find the smugglers trying to regain their barrels using long rakes. their explanation? they were trying to 'rake the moon out of the pond' to get the cheese. The exciseman was so amused by this stupidity he rode off laughing at the stupidity of Wiltshire folk. And the smugglers got their brandy back. :-)
So...more to explore than you might expect, with a surprising number of independent shops in the town centre as well. If you're in the area, Devizes is definitely worth a morning or afternoon of exploration.
- Pros:More to explore than you might think
- Cons:Parking in the centre can be difficult
- In a nutshell:Typical English market town

The 1991 case of a Chinese student who went off the deep end at an American university is dramatized to intriguingly esoteric but ultimately unsatisfying effect in "Dark Matter."
The 1991 case of a Chinese student who went off the deep end at an American university is dramatized to intriguingly esoteric but ultimately unsatisfying effect in "Dark Matter." Critiquing both the relentless Eastern drive for success and the insular, self-serving nature of Western academia, this debut feature from opera and theater helmer Chen Shi-Zheng never fully succeeds in burrowing under its protagonist's skin, despite conspicuous effort. While Meryl Streep in a substantive role reps a bizarre selling point, pic's superficial aftertaste will limit it strictly to fest exposure and very limited arthouse play.Structured in five acts, each labeled with a different Chinese character representing one of the five elements, the story begins with student Liu Xing (Liu Ye) arriving at a Western university, where he's invited by cosmology professor Jacob Reiser (Aidan Quinn) to join his research team. Brilliant, hard-working, obsequious to a fault, Liu Xing so impresses Reiser that the professor initially takes him under his wing. Liu Xing's other significant mentor is Joanna Silver (Streep), a kindly patron of the university with a special interest in Chinese culture. It's Joanna who first hears Liu Xing's scientific theory about dark matter, which shapes most of the universe — an impenetrable concept that has driven astrophysicists crazy for years, and which is explicated here in barely comprehensible terms for a layperson. When Liu Xing decides to write his dissertation on dark matter, Reiser shoots down his proposal, not least because it threatens his own widely accepted model. Suddenly facing academic ruin, Liu Xing finds his already strained psyche beginning to unravel; the pic attempts to hint at this early on by inserting brief, disturbing shots of the student looking ominously determined. But no amount of foreshadowing can conceal the tale's essential banality and lack of psychological depth — a shame, since Liu Ye is rather good at suggesting the moral blankness behind his character's ingratiating manner. There's a smart movie to be made about the often unhealthy pressure Asians face to work hard and succeed, but even as a tale of one student's destructive choices, Billy Shebar's script fails to lay the necessary groundwork for Liu Xing's sudden shift into violence. The result is a middling academic drama that passes pleasantly enough for roughly an hour before detouring into a tacked-on tragic climax. Quinn delivers the pic's best performance, imbuing his outwardly friendly, laid-back professor ("Call me Jake") with a hint of condescension that prickles from the first frame. As a woman who encourages Liu Xing, then watches helplessly as he slides toward disaster, Streep brings some warmth and humanity to the role even as one wonders what attracted her to this material. Aside from its use of occasional exploding light effects that resemble supernovas — an attempt to forge a thematic connection between Liu Xing's astronomical theories and personal neuroses — the pic has no real visual style to speak of. Other tech credits are adequate.

Oklahoma State University board hires outside attorney to assist with handling of sexual assault reports
The board that oversees Oklahoma State University has hired an outside attorney to assist with a review of the school's response to reports of sexual assaults, education leaders announced Wednesday.
Dallas-based attorney James Sears Bryant will assist the Board of Regents for Oklahoma State University and the A&M Colleges as it investigates the university's response to reports of sexual assaults. Nathan Cochran, a former OSU student, faces sexual battery charges.
Bryant works in the Dallas office of national law firm Wilson Esler, where he specializes in higher education and sports law.
NewsOK Search: Read complete coverage on the sexual assaults
In 2008, he led an independent investigation into a sexual misconduct case at the University of Iowa. In that case, a female student reported being sexually assaulted by two University of Iowa football players. The woman was later subject to intimidation and retaliation by other student athletes.
In that investigation, Bryant reported the university failed to adequately protect the woman from retaliation.
In a statement, Board of Regents Chairman Andy Lester, an Edmond attorney, said he has known Bryant for 30 years and has confidence in his work.
"I am familiar with his work both from having practiced law with him and from following the investigation he led in a sexual misconduct matter at the University of Iowa," Lester said. "He has an excellent reputation for his diligence, thoroughness and integrity."
Scope of the review
Lester said the board wouldn't know the cost of hiring Bryant until the scope of the review had been formalized and defined.
"While managing the costs associated with this review is critically important to the regents, we also desire to obtain the best qualified expert to advise us on this serious matter," he said."We are confident in Mr. Bryant and his ability to expedite a timely and efficient review."
On Dec. 13, OSU President Burns Hargis called for an investigation into the university's response to the alleged assaults after OSU officials handled the reports as an academic matter rather than notifying police.
Hearing set
OSU student Nathan Cochran, 22, faces three counts of sexual battery in a case police first learned about Dec. 6 through the university's student newspaper. The allegations involve two male students who reported being targeted by Cochran after they had fallen asleep.
Cochran pleaded not guilty to all three charges Dec. 13. Cochran is free on $100,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing Monday in Payne County District Court.
University officials learned of the assault reports Nov. 12, but they said concerns over federal student privacy laws led them not to share this information with police. Instead, they held conduct hearings resulting in a decision to suspend Cochran from the university for three years beginning with the end of the fall 2012 semester.

The use of animals in sport.

As someone pointed out above, contextual factors enter the scene in this matter. But it is important to notice that the most basic issue is the treatment given to the animals, being it a sport or not. My point is that sport use of animals is just a sub-topic of the general problem of animal welfare. If a dog is used in a dog race, the judgement if this practice is ethical or not, comes down to the analysis of the circunstamces in which the training is done, to the treatment given in that specific case. Whether it is a sport or not is a secundary question in defining the ethical evaluation of such relationships between human beings and animals.

The Columbus Blue Jackets, one of the 'feel good' stories of this lockout-shortened National Hockey League (NHL) will be one of the most intriguing teams to watch at this Sunday's NHL Entry Draft. As a result of trading former 'face of the franchise' player, Rick Nash to the New York Rangers as well as trading the disgruntled Jeff Carter to the Los Angeles Kings, along with a solid return given the circumstances, the Blue Jackets are armed with three (3) 1st Round draft picks, the 14th, 19th and 27th overall picks, respectively. And given that it's widely held by most personnel and scouting types as the best NHL Entry Draft since the landmark 2003 NHL Entry Draft, you would think that the Blue Jackets will reap a sizeable bounty by selecting all three draft picks. And that's where I think you would be wrong.

Is Tony Stewart going to make history this weekend by winning his third consecutive Pepsi 400?
Nope, not a COT race. This is supposed to be the last Daytona race for the old style car.
Is Tony Stewart going to make history this year by winning a race?
You are welcome! Thanks for reminding me to put up a race thread.
I have kids, and sort of uh, forgot.
This may just be the place that he'll do it.
I would much rather see KK scoot to the front and keep it all the way to the checkered flag. My boy needs the points!
I wouldn't mind seeing Tony win one. He peaks at the end of the season, so he should be about due to start his run for the championship.
Happy 4th backatcha. You have email :o)

Still waiting on her too.
What's taking so long. LOL
Here's a little news from Jayski
Foyt to drive #49 at Daytona: BAM Racing is pleased to welcome Larry Foyt and associate sponsor Firehouse Subs to the #49 Dodge Charger for the Pepsi 400 this weekend at Daytona International Speedway. Foyt will attempt to make his first Nextel Cup Series start of the season with BAM Racing this weekend. Although he has not competed this year, Foyt has accumulated many on-track hours testing at superspeedways in support of series manufacturer Dodge Motorsports. Firehouse Subs, founded in Jacksonville, Fla. by former firefighting brothers Robin and Chris Sorensen, will serve as an associate sponsor for the Pepsi 400 on the BAM Racing Dodge as well as on the Mac Hill Motorsports Busch Series car in partnership with Foyt.(BAM Racing PR)(7-4-2007)
Also I don't remember if we have the penalties for the 5 and 70 posted. But Alan and Booty got 25 / 25 and probation.
Fideist posted it upthread, same for both 25 & 25.
Yup. Moving forward a la France Helton... je suppose c'est dommage.
Little boxes, on the circle track, little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes, all the same...
There's a green one, and a pink one, and a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
FWIW, I was in line with Booty Barker in Lowe's garden section about a month ago. I think I was the only one who recognized him, but I couldn't figure out anything to say to him. He really moves in that chair in the parking lot. Kinda cool living here and running into (sometimes literally, apologies to the #5 team, again) some of the famous faces in racing. I was side to side with KK at a stop light not long ago and at the memorial day race last year, I swear that was Jr. coming out of the Soggy Dollar car wash in a red Corvette.
My son stopped at a red light and Smoke pulled up next to him.
Bootie was asked about the penalties against Knauss and LeTarte being a deterrence. He said "He// yeah! I don't have a hundred thousand dollars!" That was Friday before the race.
It must be fun living in that area.
Here's some news on the sponsor front....
Mountain Dew front-runner for Earnhardt
Pepsi's decision to pull its sponsorships of International Speedway Corp. racetracks was the first step in the company's plans to sponsor Dale Earnhardt Jr. when he drives at Hendrick Motorsports next year.
According to industry sources, Pepsi's Mountain Dew soft drink now is the leader to sponsor Earnhardt Jr. next year.
ISC, which includes the Daytona International Speedway and half of the tracks on the Nextel Cup Series schedule, will have its deal with Pepsi phased out as contracts expire. Pepsi's deal with Daytona includes Saturday night's Pepsi 400, but that contract expires after the race.
Pepsi plans to re-direct the money it spends with racetracks to Earnhardt Jr.
Hendrick Motorsports is talking with several companies to sponsor Earnhardt Jr., the most popular driver in racing. Budweiser, Earnhardt Jr.'s current sponsor, is working to remain with him, but Pepsi's Mountain Dew brand has become the clear front-runner.
DuPont currently has the most-expensive sponsorship deal in the sport at $20 million with Jeff Gordon and Hendrick Motorsports. Mountain Dew is expected to challenge, if not beat, that standard.
Kahne wants out
Kasey Kahne's frustration at Evernham Motorsports has forced him to ask out of his contract, according to Fox Sports.
Kahne reportedly wants the freedom to negotiate with Dale Earnhardt Inc. to replace Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2008.
Dodge got a new front bumper this year, and so far it's been a big challenge to figure out. Kahne has one top-10 finish this year and is 26th in the standings.
Didn't skip a beat
When Tony Eury Jr. was suspended for six races for using an illegal bracket for the rear wing on Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s car, the team was ranked 13th in the standings.
As Eury Jr. prepares to return for this Saturday night's Pepsi 400, he comes back to a team that's 12th in the rankings and would qualify to compete in the Chase for the Nextel Cup.
"Tony Eury Jr. has got his work cut out for him," Earnhardt Jr. said. "Seriously, man - Tony Gibson (interim crew chief), I ran great with him. (Eury Jr.) has been laying out for six weeks. He's got to come in here and work hard. I expect a lot of him."
There goes the red.
Kahne reportedly wants the freedom to negotiate with Dale Earnhardt Inc. to replace Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2008."
That's interesting. I wonder if his car will stay red.
We do have this car covered just in case. :)
I doubt it will be the 5 because it's too associated with the brat these days. Jr is working on numbers. It will have an 8 in it somewhere...see below
08* Trevor Boys [leased by]
81 appears open with ? Rousch but not active.
Don't think anyone would confuse Jr with Shrub, number may not matter (other than to the fans that have already picked 6.8). ;)
Sure hope Bud steps up for Jr. next year.
Pepsi is kind of Jeff's thing isn't it?
My crystal ball is still cloudy. :)
It possibly will boil down to the age of Jr and the inability for younger fans to wear his Bud stuff etc. Also, changing the sponsor AND the number will generate a gazillion dollars in additional merchandising money.
I personally still hope for Bud, at least in a Monster capacity., but it's not looking positive.

Orb could give 'Shug' McGaughey first Kentucky Derby win
LOUISVILLE In golf there's the expression about the best player not to win a major. Same thing in horse racing, only it's the best trainer not to win the Kentucky Derby.
If Hall of Fame trainer Claude "Shug" McGaughey III isn't at the top of that list, he's a nose from it. There's fellow Hall of Famers Ron McAnally, Jerry Hollendorfer, Richard Mandella, just some names of trainers from the West Coast that jump out who haven't won the Kentucky Derby. But back here in the East, it's the little guy known simply as "Shug," and as fellow Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert said this week, "Maybe it's Shug's turn."
McGaughey stood before the media Wednesday night here, fresh from getting the No. 16 post for his talented colt, Orb.
"Nobody is looking forward to Saturday as much as I am," McGaughey said.
McGaughey has been to the Derby four times, entered six horses, saddling two twice. His closest was Easy Goer, the son of Alydar, taking second to Sunday Silence in a thriller in 1989. Pine Circle was sixth and Vanlandingham was 16th in 1984. Seeking The Gold was seventh in 1988. Awe Inspiring was third behind Easy Goer in 1989. And highly-regarded Saarland, second in the betting, was 10th in 2002, the last time McGaughey made the walk-over in the Derby.
That's not a lot of visits, and for a trainer of his caliber, the expectation was he would have had at least one Derby win by now. The man whose 10 Breeders' Cup wins are second only to D. Wayne Lukas' 18, has just one Triple Crown victory, with Easy Goer in the Belmont Stakes in 1989.
"One of the reasons we haven't been in the Derby much is we bring our horses along a little bit slower," he said of his 2- and 3-year-old colts and fillies.
McGaughey also points to his owners, Stuart Janney III and the Phipps Stable.
"We don't pile everything into getting to the Derby," McGaughey said. "The Phippses aren't built that way and neither is Stuart Janney."
Those who know McGaughey well say he is looser this year than any previous trips to Churchill Downs for the Derby. He says he is, too.
"I'm just really happy, confident in my horse," McGaughey said. "I'm happy with everything. If we would have drawn a bad post, that's the way it is. If we have a rough trip on Saturday, what will be will be. As to where we stand right now, we have a good post, the horse has done well, we're the morning-line favorite. What more can I ask for on Wednesday afternoon?"
Orb traces his lineage to champion stallion and Belmont Stakes winner A.P. Indy. He is by Malibu Moon (by A.P. Indy) out of Lady Liberty (by Unbridled). He had just one win from four starts as a 2-year-old, but is 3-for-3 as a 3-year-old. Included in the wins this year are the Grade I Florida Derby and the Grade II Fountain of Youth.
"I'm confident," McGaughey said. "I think we have a very nice horse. I think we have a horse that will run a mile and a quarter. His pedigree and running style say he's going to get the distance."
McGaughey, 62, says not many moments at the barn go by, especially this time of year, when he's not thinking of what it would be like to be in the winner's circle after Race 11 on Saturday. It's clear to anyone who has spoken to him this week that the homegrown Kentucky horseman from Lexington would love to finally win a race he was born to win.

Fruity chicken and rice
Fruity chicken and rice
This fruity chicken and rice is a dish that babies and small children love for its sweetness and variety of textures.
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 1/4 cup cooked chicken breast, finely diced
- 400g tin apricots in fruit juice
- If your baby requires a smoother texture or is still having pureed foods, you can use the reserved juice to thin it out as you puree it.
- I used a portion of BBQ chicken for this dish and served the rest to my family.
- This recipe was created by Jennifer Cheung for Kidspot, Australia's best recipe finder.

Great performance by Maori people. We enjoyed very much.
Great time. We learned about the Maori culture and how proud they are. Interactive and fun. Dennis the menace, the bus driver, was amazing
Great time. We learned about the Maori culture and how proud they are. Interactive and fun. Dennis the menace, the bus driver, was amazing
Not to be missed - very entertaining
Excellent cultural experience. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment and it made a fun evening.
First class
Cannot rate highly enough
Everyone should do this. Lovely people and seeing the Haka and everything else. Cannot rate highly enough.
Fantastic set up with amazing staff who make it real.
This is an awesome experience! It is nice to learn about the different cultures.
Excellent experience, highly reccomended!! Food was amazing..
Excellent,totally enjoyed every part of the tour. My husband loved the meal stating its not often he goes back for seconds. Best part of our trip so far!!:
This tour was really great value.We are a mature age couple and the rest of the bus were backpackers so we had a great time.The cultural side of the evening was excellent but our bus driver 'Wallace' topped off the evening.He had the most friendly personality and was great entertainment from puck up to delivery to our front door.Don't miss a fabulous evening!
We really enjoyed this evening. The food was delicious! The cultural presentation was delightful. Not only were we taught about the Maori culture, but we were invited to participate in the activites. It was a memorable evening and we would do it again.
We are not 'tour people' but wanted to understand more Maori history after reading several books on indigenous people. The Hangi dinner and performance reviews were complimentary so we booked. The bus picked us up at our hotel right on time and was filled with friendly people. Our driver, Bill, was funny and informative. I was a bit dismayed when we arrived and assembled in the gathering area to see a large class of school children. They turned out to be an immersion class from a nearby town and they were delightful. It was so good to see the Maori culture being spread in the classroom and children of all backgrounds benefiting from the lessons. Once the dramatic welcome ceremony was complete and we entered the village we were treated to various stations that explained facets of Maori life and tradition. This was followed by a wonderful entertainment session and then dinner. I learned quite a bit that had not been explained in our initial research. Keeping the Maori culture alive for Maori descendants, and for the country is important and this group has found an excellent way to do that. It was a very entertaining and worthwhile evening. Our bus trip back to the various hotels was filled with group singing and a version of The wheels on the bus we won't soon forget! As we reviewed our New Zealand trip, the Hangi Dinner was one of the top highlights. If you are mobility challenged this is a do-able event but could be difficult...but do try. So worth it!
Great fun
This a must if you want to understand the Maori people. The evening is full of interaction with the natives, understanding their culture, and presented with a series of dances prior to a dinner. The dinner was a feast which they made sure everyone was more of a pig than the one we ate. AWESOME!
I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the culture of the Maori people. The meal was fantastic too
My Husband and I were on our honeymoon and wanted to see some of the Maori cutlure and this was spot on! Great dinner! Great entertainment. Very happy we did this. Definitely would recommend.
This was excellent! Very much worth doing if you are going to Rotorua. Thoroughly enjoyed and the food was great!
I loved this trip. It was very well conducted and the food was great. The village and all the activities were very well done. This was very slickly run.
I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Rotorua.
We enjoyed to learn Moari culture, traditions and performance. How tasty Traditional feast was!! two wonderful guides helped with written notes for us
AMAZING experience with AMAZING people, this is a must do in Rotorua.
Mesmerising performances. I think it and #39;s a must do in Rotorua. The dinner was awesome too. Volunteer to be the chief of the tribe. You will enjoy it. A wonderful experience.
It will give you some knowledge of Maori culture and the way they lived in the past.
And the Hangi meal...sooo god and different.
A wonderful and informative evening . We had the best night everything was perfect highly recommend this tour.
An amazing experience. Wonderful insight into the Maori customs. They were very friendly and after showing us around their village, and doing the haka dance, they provided us with the most amazing dinner that they cooked underground. Definitely an experience not to be missed.

For the third track from Soul Tools Entertainment's Soul ToolsDay series Reggie Reg provides a spacey backdrop for Rhymesayers Entertainment emcee Brother Ali to rock on. "Don't Mess With Me" is hypnotizing display from both Reggie Reg with the production and Brother Ali with the rhymes, definitely one of those tracks fans will have on repeat just to take it all in.

Captain America: Civil War Already Has a Meme
The clash of superheroes movie doesn't come out until May 2016. That hasn't stopped the Internet.
The clash of superheroes movie doesn't come out until May 2016. That hasn't stopped the Internet.
You might recall that Arnim Zola's fate in Captain America: The Winter Soldier was rather final, after Hydra dropped a bomb on the digitised doctor's hidden facility in an attempt to take out Cap and Black Widow. But according to these animated storyboards, that wasn't always the case.
Where was Hawkeye while S.H.I.E.L.D. was going crazy during Captain America: The Winter Soldier? Well, an earlier plan for the movie included a confrontation between Hawkeye and Captain America—one that ended in a very tender and heroic moment.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier introduced us to the cinematic version of the high-flying hero Falcon. But before he could take to the screen, the filmmakers had to decide what his wings would look like. Would he look like a bird or a plane?
Who needs strange growth hormones or LMDs? Shortpacked reveals what SHIELD really uses in cases of intense medical trauma.
The movie's only been out a few days, but a ton of The Winter Soldier's concept art has hit the internet from both ILM and the amazing Tim Flattery. Check out the inside of a helicarrier, the underbelly of SHIELD, and much more!
Before Captain America: The Winter Soldier premiered, there were a lot of wild rumors floating around about the character played by Robert Redford. So we asked the directors, Anthony and Joe Russo, about these crazy notions. And now that we can freely talk about end-of-the-movie spoilers, here's what they told us.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the darkest of all the Marvel movies. But then how on EARTH did directors Anthony and Joe Russo manage to fit in the most ridiculous Captain America villain of all time, Batroc the leaper? In our exclusive interview, we go deep into the secrets of making Cap (and his friends) go…
When you wake up after 70 years on ice, you miss a few major historical and cultural events. This shot from the opening of Captain America: The Winter Soldier peeks into Steve Rogers' notebook, tracking the things he needs to research and remember after his time asleep.
If you know toys at all, you know that Hong Kong-based Hot Toys makes 12-inch action figures that are uncannily realistic. But this new figure of Black Widow from Captain America: The Winter Soldier is... something else. Something beyond.
Obviously, if you don't want to know a pretty major plot development, stop reading and definitely don't watch the video. Or if you do, watch it on mute.
Someone claiming to have seen the Captain America sequel already has just announced the film's post-credits scene. It comes from an odd source, but the description still sounds pretty plausible to me. Either way, warning: After the jump is a significant spoiler or a pack of lies.
If there was a winner for the best movie trailer that aired during last night's Super Bowl, it would be the new Captain America: The Winter Soldier trailer, hands down. It was packed with new shots, new faces and new info — as you can see in our immense screencap breakdown below!
Seriously, this is the last mutant you thought they'd ever bring back. Meanwhile, Chris Evans explains what he's learned about Captain America. Check out a new piece of Star Wars: Rebels concept art. Plus, check out Hugh Jackman sporting a mullet in Neill Blompkamp's Chappie. Spoilers now!
A Captain America: Winter Soldier writer explains why Cap has no character arc of his own. The Walking Dead has a new poster. And new Dracula photos show the show getting its corpse on. Plus, new photos from Arrow and Tomorrow People. Spoilers now!
Greetings, folks! It's your friendly neighborhood post-apocalyptic fake mailman here, and I have to tell you, my mailbag is full to bursting! It's really heavy! It may actually get me killed, because I move really slowly while carrying it! But my imminent, easily avoidable death is worth it, as long as I get to keep…
And it is predictably, patriotically glorious. Warning: Besides NSFW language, watching this video may cause nearby eagles to cry tears of joy while passing overhead.
Captain America throws his mighty shield several times in this amazing first trailer for The Winter Soldier, but what you'll want to be on the lookout for is Cap's new foe in action, Black Widow being awesome, Robert Redford's mysterious military man, The Falcon in flight and the world's worst Helicarrier parking…
Here's our first look at Robert Redford on the set of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, suited up and ready to represent S.H.I.E.L.D.
Earlier this week, we got a glimpse of Captain America's new duds for The Winter Soldier, and now Cleveland's Plain Dealer has snagged photos of Cap's new suit in action. Looking good, sir.

Free advice on problem debtbased on what's best for you
If you're part way through Debt Remedy...
If you're an existing DMP client...
If you want to phone us...
Credit cards are a popular way to buy items in shops and online and pay the money back in instalments later.
Used wisely they can be useful, but if you're not careful they can be an expensive way to borrow and can take a very long time to repay.
In this section you'll find advice about how to get out of credit card debt and ways to reduce your credit card debt. We'll also highlight what you can do to help manage your credit card debt.
FREE online debt advice 20 mins
All credit cards have a minimum amount you must pay back each month.
This will be a percentage of the amount outstanding, usually between 1% and 3% each month. Usually there'll be a minimum amount of £5.
For example, if you owe £1000 on your card a minimum payment of 2% would mean paying back £20 per month.
If you only pay the minimum payment on a card, it will take a very long time to repay. Always try to pay more than the minimum amount if you can afford it.
The Money Advice Service have a useful calculator on their website which lets you check how long it would take to pay off a credit card debt.
If you don't pay the minimum payment every month, your account will go into arrears. Your creditor will contact you to demand the missing payments are made, and if you don't do this eventually the account will default and further action may be taken.
For more information on what action a credit card provider can take to collect a debt, see our what your creditors can do section.
All credit cards have a maximum amount you can spend.
Some cards are aimed at people with a poor credit history and have a low limit of £200 or so. Often these cards have a high interest rate, but if you pay them back on time, they can be a good way to boost your credit rating by showing other creditors that you can be trusted. Other cards have a much higher limit which can go into the thousands. Whether you have a low or high credit limit, it's very easy to run up affordable debts which will take a long time to pay back.
Sometimes your card provider will offer to increase your credit limit, especially if you have a good history of payments. You should think very carefully before agreeing to an increase in your credit limit, and refuse the increase if you don't need it. Some people like a higher limit 'just in case', but there's always the temptation to keep spending and run up a debt you eventually can't afford to pay back.
Interest on credit cards varies from less than 10% to 70% or more. The rate of interest you're charged will depend on your credit rating.
Some cards give you an interest-free period of up to 60 days on purchases. This means if you buy something and pay off the whole amount within this time you won't be charged any interest.
But some card providers charge interest on purchases straight away, and most will charge interest straight away on money you withdraw from a cash machine.
If you miss payments, you'll get late payment charges on top of the interest. These should be no more than £12 for each missed payment.
One important benefit of using a credit card is that you get extra cover on larger purchases.
If you use a credit card to pay for something worth between £100 and £30,000, the credit card provider is also responsible for the goods or services provided.
For example, if you paid for a holiday with a credit card but the company went bust, you could claim the money back from the credit card provider. Or if you ordered some items online but they didn't arrive, you could claim the money back from the credit card provider if the seller refuses to refund you.
This cover applies even if you only paid part of the amount with your card.
The law only allows a credit card account to be in one name, so there's no such thing as a joint credit card. But your credit card provider may let you have a second credit card for your partner or someone else to use.
If your card provider has given you a second card, you will be liable for all of the money spent on both cards.
The second card holder is not liable for any of the debt, even the money spent on the card with their name on it.
For this reason, we recommend you think very carefully before asking for a second card.
In the past, many credit cards were issued with payment protection insurance (PPI) to cover the minimum payments if you became ill or lost your job.
Many of these PPI policies were sold to people who didn't need them or couldn't claim on them. If you think you were mis-sold PPI, you can ask the credit card provider to refund the payments to you. This could reduce your credit card debt, or give you a windfall to help clear other debts.
If you want to try getting PPI refunded, don't pay a claims management company. You can reclaim mis-sold PPI for free in a few easy steps.
Some credit cards let you transfer the balance from another card. Transferring a debt from a card with a high rate of interest to one with low or 0% interest could help you pay off the debt faster.
But low or 0% interest credit cards are hard to get if you don't have a good credit rating. This means you can't rely on balance transfers as a way to deal with your credit card debts.
Also look out for fees when transferring a balance. Most credit card providers charge 2-3% of the amount you're transferring as a one-off fee. If you're transferring a balance to take advantage of a lower interest rate, the fees may mean you save less than you expect.
If you do transfer a balance, make sure you cut up the old credit card and close the account. Otherwise, you may be tempted to keep spending on both cards and you'll end up with two debts.
Some credit cards have an introductory period where no interest is charged. This period varies and some offer 0% interest for 18 months or more.
If you transfer to a 0% interest card, check the rate of interest when the 0% deal ends as this could be high.
Also check what is covered by the 0% deal. Often this will be for card purchases only and withdrawing money from a cash machine will be charged at a higher rate.
0% deals may end early if you miss a payment.
Your credit card provider will share information with credit reference agencies about the way you use your card. This information will help other creditors decide how risky it is to lend money to you.
Like all debts, your credit file will show information about your credit card debts:
But credit card providers also share extra information on your credit file which other types of debt don't show, including:

Tamsulosin 4mg was started by my aged father on 08/28/09. How long is acclimation?

Tamsulosin can cause dizziness - especially when getting up from a sitting or lying position. How long this effect lasts, or how severe, depends on the individual patient. Taking tamsulosin at night can reduce the impact of these side effects. Extra care is needed if your father needs to get up in the night to use the bathroom.
From http://www.drugs.com/mtm/tamsulosin.html
Tamsulosin can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. You may feel dizzy when getting up from a sitting or lying position. Avoid standing up too quickly to keep from falling. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall. Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase dizziness caused by tamsulosin.

App Review: Better Option Than Google Translate
Published: Saturday, March 30, 2013 at 8:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 30, 2013 at 8:25 p.m.
Learning a new language can be tough, and even having an intermediate understanding of a language can be difficult when trying to communicate with native speakers.
I've used a handful of translation apps on my phone, most notably Google Translate, but the accuracy was hit or miss.
iTranslate is the simplest translation app I've seen for a mobile device.
The app is as simple as they come, a settings button in the upper left-hand corner and two Siri-like microphone buttons at the bottom with flags denoting which of the 32 languages you're translating to.
The rest of the space is dedicated to the written translation, which the app can, of course, speak for you as well.
The accuracy of the translation is especially helpful when you're wandering around Beijing and find yourself in the middle of a massive riot.
With police everywhere, I stopped to ask a cop what was going on. I could understand only about half of his reply, so I asked him to repeat it while holding up my phone. Google Translate understood him about as much as I did, translating the half I already knew.
I can't say for certain that iTranslate would have nailed the translations, but the few sentences I've tried in Mandarin have worked out for the most part.
There were some glaring errors, like the missed translation of "Your dog is big" to "When is an idiot," which is face-palming embarrassing. Luckily, I was talking to myself and testing the app.
