Chief Kunkle to consider fate of officer who lied about accident
Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle held a hearing today to consider the fate of an officer who lied for weeks about how an on-duty traffic accident occurred. Chief Kunkle did not make an immediate decision.
Immediately after the Jan. 15 accident, Officer Horatio Quiroz, told traffic investigators and his supervisors that someone had hit his parked vehicle while he he was inside a pizza restaurant.
Weeks later, in early February, police officials discovered that the damage had actually occurred when the officer hit an 18-wheeler while responding to a major accident on the freeway.
In early March, he told supervisors he had fabricated the details of the accident.
According to internal police documents, the District Attorney's offfice has decided that Officer Quiroz would be placed on the "do not testify list" which means that he would not be able to testify during court proceedings.
His chain of command has recommended punishment ranging from a 15-day supension to termination.
Here are documents related to that investigation:
Consider that the department recently suspended for 10 days a police officer who briefly lied about a traffic accident and then immediately fessed up.
So what do you think should happen to Officer Quiroz?

|Honda Achieves Record European Automobile Sales in 2005,
Further Growth Predicted in 2006
|January 16, 2006 – Honda announced that it had achieved record automobile sales in Europe, reaching an all time high of 285,924** units during the calendar year 2005 against an industry downturn of 0.7%*.
This is the second successive year that Honda has achieved record automobile sales in Europe and is an 11.8% increase on the previous year. The Jazz model has been a key driver in this record year with unit sales reaching 85,500 units. In addition, the success of the company's CR-V and FR-V models has been crucial.
Honda has now targeted a third record year in 2006 and has unveiled plans to sell 310,000 vehicles, which would represent a further 8% increase on 2005's total.
The new Civic 5 door model, which is now going on sale across Europe, will play a key role in achieving this ambitious growth target. Honda will also bring to market a new Civic Hybrid that has even better fuel efficiency, drivability, and practicality than the previous model.
The "Civic Type R Concept", which embodies Honda's "Fun-to-drive" ethos, will make a debut at the Geneva Motor Show at the end of February, to continue to meet the demand from many Honda customers to produce models that provide an extra level of excitement.
Honda also predicts that in this calendar year it will achieve the same level of production at its Swindon, UK plant as in 2005, which was 186,838 cars. The plant will be producing the new Civic 5-door and 3–door as well as the current CR-V. Further, Swindon has also started assembly of the i-CTDi diesel engine, which won "International Engine of the Year" in the 2.0 to 2.5-litre category this year. The plant will also start diesel cylinder-head machining in 2006 a move that will see Honda further localising production.

Turn, Turn, Turn—Keeping the Faith through All of Life's Seasons, Aug. 1-4
Decatur, GA.—"Turn, Turn Turn: Keeping Our Faith New through All Seasons of Life" is the theme for Columbia Theological Seminary's Summer Lay Scholars seminar. The annual event, held on Columbia's campus, begins Monday evening, August 1, and concludes with lunch on Thursday, August 4. The seminar offers creative ways to keep faith alive and renewed through all ages, stages, and crises of life—including life's dull moments and those mountain-top experiences. As part of their classroom work, participants will study the Bible together, do experiential exercises, and learn how human development and world events shape the life of faith; for example, how faith is experienced differently as children, young people, and in adulthood. Course leaders include faculty members Kathy Dawson, assistant professor of Christian education; Bill Harkins, assistant professor of pastor theology and care; and Dent Davis, dean and vice president of Lifelong Learning. Cost is $275 for commuters and $295 for overnighters (includes some meals). Lodging is available on campus at an additional cost. For more information or to register, call 404-687-4577 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Columbia Theological Seminary, located in Decatur, Georgia, was established in 1828 and is one of 10 theological institutions of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Tsop Flash Softmod Xbox
Posted 07 August 2008 - 06:04 PM
Is it as simple as:
1) solder the TSOP points on the mobo
2) copy via FTP the 256k x2 bios to c:\bios on the xbox
3) run Evox from my applications through XBMC
4) flash using Evox
5) install new hard drive after preping with Slayer's install disc?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Posted 07 August 2008 - 06:28 PM
you can use raincoat or eurasia though, if you get a eurasia flashdisc you can load that and it will eject the DVD tray and you pop in a bios cd (just like flashing a modchip with cromwell)
Posted 07 August 2008 - 06:44 PM
I'll keep yall posted
Posted 07 August 2008 - 11:05 PM
Is there any way I can avoid this? I burned the bios disc and the flash disc on some Ritek DVD-Rs. Is that all I need to do to avoid this?
Posted 08 August 2008 - 01:06 AM
I also cannot run the EurAsia DVD I burned directly from the drive. I have to copy the contents of that drive to my e:\apps\eurasia\ folder and run it from there using XBMC. That's where I run into the orange LED and black screen. Help please
If it matters, I have a Winbond W49F020T and Focus chip.
Posted 08 August 2008 - 02:08 AM
Okay. I figured out what the problem was. I tried to cheat and copy EurAsia to the Apps folder and run it from there. The program apparently doesnt like that.
So I just picked up another Xbox DVD drive and used that on my softmodded xbox and ran EurAsia from the DVD-R I created.
Worked like a charm and very easy to follow! Thanks for listening to my rambling and I hope this helps someone out there.
Off to create a new and LARGER HDD....
Posted 05 July 2010 - 12:43 AM
I do have a question though...
If I flash the bios with this method. Will I still be able to use the softmodded hard drive? I have the default HD, and after the tsop want to put in my new larger drive.
2nd, I read my chip and it is a W49F020T.
So in this case I would use the W49f020 bios?
Posted 05 July 2010 - 01:36 AM
After the TSOP flash just install your new disk, cold boot with Slayers, use it to do the basic setup for the disk, then use XBPartitioner 1.1 to format any partitions larger than 256GB.

I'm sure the points are soldier right and my ohm meter also says so.
I ran the flash disc and then the boot disc.
The boot disc showed a error "Unknown Device read only manf=0x09 dev=0x00
Also, my windbond chip # is slightly different than the ones on there.
Mines is a Windbond W49F020T and I do see a W49F020, but not one with a T at the end?

This means your soldering isn't right. It doesn't matter what your multimeter says, 0x09 is device not writeable. Passing a 9V DC continuity test doesn't mean that your connection is good for a 3V / 5V active logic circuit. Redo your soldering.

hmm soldier it again.. same problem.
Resorted to using alum foil and still the same error....
I know the points are joined.
I was doing a search and noticed someone else had a problem and used a different version of raincoat.
I noticed as I stated earlier. I don't see the same model in the list. It reads 17 of them and in the list of the 17 there is no W49F020T

moeom what type of dvd drive did you get because i have a samsung and burnt the flash disk on a dvd-r and i seem to just get the black screen also?
I had the same problem too.
It's not that the player doesn't read the disc... but it doesn't load them right away.
Since my xbox was already softmodded, I just ran the file in XBMC and it worked that way.
BTW, I was using a CDRW with SAMSUNG cd drive.
Posted 06 August 2010 - 12:03 PM
I have a samsung drive also

VAIL, Colorado - Vail Resorts released some ski season metrics Friday morning, highlighting both positive and negative results, including a 15.3 percent drop in skier visits across the company's six mountain resorts.
Numbers through Jan. 2, compared to the same time period in the 2010-11 ski season, show ski school revenue was up 0.9 percent, while dining was down 5.6 percent due to the fact that many on-mountain restaurants weren't yet open due to snow conditions.
The drop in skier visits also includes "lower utilization by season pass holders," the report said.
Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz called the weather so far this season "very unusual."
"For the first time in 30 years, a lack of snow has not allowed us to open the back bowls in Vail as of January 6, 2012 and, for the first time since the late 1800s, it did not snow at all in Tahoe in December," Katz said in a statement. "Despite these conditions, we were very pleased that season to date our total lift ticket revenue was up 0.6 percent and ski school revenue increased 0.9 percent compared to the prior year when record snowfall was reported across our resorts."
Katz went on to say that the company's performance under the circumstances highlights its strong season pass program, wide range of offerings at each resort, as well as the importance of the company's ongoing investments, specifically snowmaking infrastructure.
Katz emailed his employees Friday morning thanking them for their hard work.
"It's no secret that Mother Nature has delivered less natural snowfall at our mountain resorts than we usually get this time of year," Katz wrote. "But, there is plenty of good news."
Good news like consistently high guest satisfaction scores, measured by the company's internal surveys, prove the resort is headed in the right direction, Katz said.
Katz told employees to stay focused on company values to "serve others," and "have fun," which Katz wrote is a value "that is contagious and transcends to the guest experience."
"Remember that this too shall pass, and on the other end we will be stronger as a company (and the powder will be that much sweeter)," he wrote.
A JMP Securities midday note on Vail Resorts reiterated its "market outperform" rating and $57 stock price target. Vail Resorts' stock price closed at $38.30 Friday, up 0.39 percent from Thursday's closing price.
JMP Securities recently lowered its estimated resort EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for Vail Resorts from $237 million to $200 million, but Vail Resorts is maintaining its fiscal 2012 resort EBITDA guidance of $233-243 million, which the company issued in September 2011.
"However, we would acknowledge that those targets will be more difficult to achieve given the results over the holidays," Friday's metrics report said.
The JMP Securities report, prepared by JMP Managing Director Will Marks, says Vail Resorts' business model is "showing stability with relatively flat levels of revenue," but that "the dismal winter weather outlook and management's cautious comments regarding guidance are leading us to leave our revised projections unchanged at (fiscal year 2012) resort EBITDA of $200 million, compared to guidance in the range of $233-243 million."
The investment analysis also indicates a reliance on Mother Nature as an investment risk.
"The maxim of the ski industry is that more snow equates to more skiers," according to JMP Securities. "Unfortunately, the reverse is also true, and ski resorts have invariably suffered from low snow levels and the effect this has had on skier visits and earnings."

Proceedings of the 9th International Barley Genetics Symposium. June 20-26, 2004, Brno, Czech Republic. p. 147. Technical Abstract: Genetic mapping of resistance genes to Fusarium head blight (FHB) in barley, caused by Fusarium graminearum, revealed multiple locus inheritance. A segregating population of seventy-five double haploid lines, developed from the three-way cross Zhedar 2/ND9712//Foster, was used for genome mapping and FHB evaluation. Four amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were identified and mapped to chromosomes 2H and 5H at regions closely associated with FHB resistance and low deoxynivalenol (DON) concentration. An additional AFLP marker was associated with disease susceptibility. These five AFLP fragments were purified, cloned and sequenced. Sequence-characterized amplified regions (SCARs) will be produced and used for assessing the presence of FHB resistance genes for comparisons in other barley genotypes. These markers may therefore be useful in marker-assisted selection of resistance genes in barley breeding programs and will facilitate map-based cloning.

(AP) – 1 day ago
LAS VEGAS — Police say a 20-year-old mother has been charged with felony child neglect after she locked her 1-year-old daughter in a car for more than 12 hours in the Nevada desert.
Police officer Barbara Morgan says Diana Ruiz was arrested Friday after telling police her Ford Focus got stuck early Thursday in a remote area while she tried to drive a shortcut in the dark from Las Vegas to Sandy Valley.
Ruiz told investigators she accidentally locked her keys and her daughter in the car before seeking help around dawn at a nearby home. A man with an all-terrain vehicle helped, but they couldn't find her car again.
A police search and rescue helicopter found the car and the child after 3 p.m. Thursday.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police say a 1-year-old girl was rescued in good condition after 14 hours in a vehicle in the desert outside Las Vegas.
Police officer Bill Cassell says the Ford Focus got stuck early Thursday about seven miles south of a state highway when the girl's mother tried to drive a dirt shortcut in the dark from Las Vegas to the community of Sandy Valley.
After the car got stuck, the mother accidentally locked with the keys inside. She sought help at a nearby home and a man with an all-terrain vehicle helped search, but they couldn't find her car again.
Police were notified about 3 p.m. Thursday, and Cassell says a police search and rescue helicopter quickly found the vehicle and the child inside.

I've been inspired by a thoughtful post at Hot Foot Blog to do my own analysis of the Mets team MVP in 2008. I'll look at 3 stats: VORP, WPA, and WARP, which I think are useful for making an MVP ballot. To save time, I'll only look at Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, Jose Reyes, Johan Santana, and David Wright as candidates.
To start off, here are the important traditional stats for the fab 5:
Beltran: .284/.376/.500, 27 HR, 112 RBI, 25/28 SB
Delgado: .271/.353/.518, 38 HR, 115 RBI, 1/2 SB
Reyes: .297/.358/.475, 16 HR, 68 RBI, 56/71 SB
Santana: 2.53 ERA, 234.1 IP, 3.27 K/BB, 0.88 HR/9, 163 ERA+
Wright: .302/.390/.534, 33 HR, 124 RBI, 15/20 SB
To refresh memories, VORP stands for "value over replacement player." A player's offensive performance is compared to a "replacement level" player at the same position. This fictitious player is a low-level player who is readily available at cheap cost. A position player's VORP represents how many more runs his team would score over the course of a season than if a replacement player was in the lineup instead. A pitcher's VORP represents how many more runs his team would give up over the course of a season compared to the replacement pitcher.
1. Johan Santana – 73.4
2. David Wright – 66.2
3. Jose Reyes – 62.9
4. Carlos Beltran – 57.6
5. Carlos Delgado – 38.5
If Santana was switched with a replacement pitcher, the Mets would've given up 73.4 more runs. Reyes rates so high because great offensive shortstops are tough to come by. Delgado rates so low because great offensive first basemen are a-dime-a-dozen. Note that VORP doesn't factor in stolen bases.
WPA, "win probability added", is a fascinating statistic. It was created based on the concept that every play in a baseball game, whether it is a ground out, strikeout or homerun, will add or subtract from a team's probability of winning a game. For different outcomes, a player's WPA will increase or decrease based on how much each play adds or subtracts from his team's chance to win. It is a rudimentary way to measure "clutchness", as it weighs a player's performance based on the situation. This is to say that a walkoff homerun will add much more to a player's WPA than will a homerun hit when already ahead by 7 runs. A scoreless inning pitched in a blowout is not weighed as heavily as a scoreless 9th inning pitched in a 1-run game.
1. Carlos Beltran – 5.02
2. David Wright – 4.18
3. Johan Santana – 4.08
4. Carlos Delgado – 2.38
5. Jose Reyes – 1.32
This does not necessarily mean that Beltran was the most "clutch" player for the Mets this year. It simply means his offensive contributions resulted in a greater probability of the Mets winning than did the other players. Despite being 3rd on this list, it should be noted that starting pitchers' WPA's are generally lower than batters. Santana was 4th in the majors in WPA, while Beltran was 6th. Cliff Lee led pitchers with a 5.96 WPA; Manny Ramirez led all hitters with a 7.57 WPA.
WARP1 is a stat I don't think I've looked at yet in this space. It's similar to VORP, but measures "wins above replacement player". It accounts for both offense and defense, and determines how many wins a player contributes compared to a fictitious "replacement player" at the respective player's position. Unfortunately, I couldn't locate Santana's WARP1, so he will not be evaluated here. Based on a quick Internet search, I don't think a WARP1 leader's list for pitchers is readily accessible. If someone can find one, please let me know. At this point I think Johan's spot on my ballot is pretty secure…
1. Wright – 9.6
2. Beltran – 9.3
3. Reyes – 8.8
4. Delgado – 7.8
Based on these stats, my ballot would look like this:
1. Johan Santana
2. David Wright
3. Carlos Beltran
4. Jose Reyes
5. Carlos Delgado
Santana led the league in ERA and was pretty impressive in VORP and WPA. I think this is a safe pick. When was the last time a Mets starting pitcher could convincingly be called the team MVP? Dwight Gooden in 1985? Bret Saberhagen in 1994? I'd have to look it up. There will be those calling me a fool for putting Reyes above Delgado based on Jose's poor, but not downright awful, September. To them I say that I look at a baseball season as 162 games long. The overall contribution of a player towards scoring and preventing runs over a full season is more important to me than a 10 or 3 game sample. Also, while Delgado did have a very good season, the fact that he plays first base (and not very well defensively at that) hurt his standing on my ballot. The #2 spot is a virtual toss-up, and you can't go wrong with Wright or Beltran in this spot.

I'm in, as long as there's no salary cap because I'd like to give this 9 year old pitcher C.C. Sabathia money:
9 years old, with a 40 mph fastball. I'm thinking 7 years, $150 million. Then I could forge a birth certificate and bring him back for another 7 years, Danny Almonte style.

Serves 4 to 6
This is similar to a minty margarita that goes well with Mexican food or barbecue as a palate cleanser or as a light, cooling dessert.
• 1½ cups water
• 1½ cups sugar
cup firmly packed fresh mint leaves (spearmint, peppermint, etc.)
• 2½ cups fresh lime juice (about 12 limes)
1. In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and let syrup cool.
2. In a blender, puree syrup and mint leaves until well pulverized. Add lime juice and chill, until completely cold, about 1 hour.
3. Freeze according to instructions of ice cream or sorbet maker. (I make the base — syrup, mint and lime juice — the day before and store in the refrigerator until ready to finish making the sorbet.)

Mayor Mike Rawlings has made some personnel changes after his longtime chief of staff, Paula Blackmon, departed for Dallas ISD.
Adam McGough, a former assistant city attorney who managed the community prosecutor program, will become Rawlings' chief of staff.
And former Dallas Observer writer turned public relations man Sam Merten will be the manager of public affairs/communications.
"Adam and Sam are both experienced in their fields, well respected, and they have my confidence," Rawlings said via press release. "They are energized and inspired to make a difference in Dallas."
Merten's appointment brings something to the mayor's office that he didn't have under Blackmon. During her years with the mayor, she handled both staff work and the press.
McGough is an experienced hand at City Hall and knows the levers at 1500 Marilla.
Merten's years at the Observer included coverage of the Love Field concessions story and the convention center hotel debate.

The Seattle Bicycle Advisory Board is set to review WSDOT's plans for the Montlake Lid at its next meeting on Wednesday, September 5th. The Board's response to bicycle access provided by the design will be passed on to the Mayor and City Council and could end up in WSDOT's Community Design final report due to the state legislature later this year. Expect the agenda of political issues for bicycles moving along 520 to be set this week.
Here are three problem areas for bicycle connectivity in WSDOT's Montlake Lid design:
1. The 24th Ave overpass mixes bikes with added freeway traffic
The overpass at 24th Ave is currently a bicycle lifeline connecting the Montlake Bridge and the city's signed Lake Washington bike route (along 25th Ave E). It is the only safe way to bypass the craziness of Montlake Blvd. The new 520 interchange, however, turns this overpass into a freeway access road forcing cyclists to mix with freeway traffic and cross an extra intersection mid-lid. The safest and most popular bicycle route through the neighborhood is made worse by this lid design, not better.
2. The Montlake Blvd bicycle/pedestrian underpass is dangerous
This underpass is a welcome addition for cyclists and pedestrians, so long as it is made safe for both. On the west side, the underpass is accessed by a long U-turn ramp with a downhill slope that ends 1) at a concrete wall, 2) at a stair landing, 3) at the edge of the tunnel's dark shadow and 4) at a fork in the bike lane requiring turns across traffic. A similar situation exists on the east side of the underpass.
It's not hard to imagine pedestrians hustling down the stairs and turning into bicycles emerging from the dark tunnel going 20mph.
As designed, the underpass is 14 feet wide, the same width as the new regional path across the 520 Bridge. A possible solution would be to widen the tunnel path and physically separate fast moving bikes from pedestrians trying to cross under the street. A pedestrian lane on the north side would prevent the stair landing areas from mixing with bike traffic.
3. The 520 regional path does not continue over Portage Bay to the Roanoke Lid, Capitol Hill and Eastlake.
WSDOT has not adopted the Portage Bay regional path into the project, acknowledging it only as "community requested." The Seattle Design Commission strongly supports it, and the SBAB likely will as well. Its benefits are obvious: it helps sustainable modes of transportation, it connects neighborhoods, it creates a direct and gently-sloped route up a big-ass hill. It just makes sense.
It would make more sense, however, to connect the path to the Bill Dawson Trail (as shown above) and continue it to Roanoke St behind the Montlake Blvd Market (Hop-In). This would make for a faster, easier and more direct route to UW and the light rail station since it doesn't force walkers and riders down to lake level and back up to Montlake Blvd (via the Dawson Trail, with double long U-turn for bikes). It would also directly connect the central Montlake "plateau" and to potential neighborhood greenways (20th/22nd) passing by Montlake Elementary School.
The 520 Seattle Community Design Process has yet to yield good results for pedestrians and cyclists. Tomorrow's Seattle Bike Advisory Board meeting is a chance to put pressure on WSDOT to humanize 520 in these small but important ways. Public comments are accepted and encouraged.
Seattle Bicycle Advisory Board meeting — Wednesday, September 5th — 6-8pm — Seattle City Hall, room L280 (note: entry doors to City Hall lock at 6pm so plan to arrive a few minutes early)

Jealous, perhaps, of female celebrities' busted weaves, Sean Penn went to a press conference today wearing the pelt of a drowned sewer rat on his head. What does this man have against hairbrushes?
Perhaps he's so proud to have reached the middle age with a full head of hair, he insists on letting it run wild?
Or maybe he's superstitious: If he uses a comb, he might jinx it.
Or maybe he wants to make wig-wearing John Travolta feel bad. Who's "so lovely" now, sucker? [Images via Getty]

Lawrence-Lynch Corp. was low bidder on the project, which aims to create a 1,900-car central parking facility in East Falmouth for summer overflow from the Palmer avenue lot.
When a new ferry is delivered to the Steamship Authority around spring of 2016, it will bear the name Woods Hole. At their meeting in Vineyard Haven Tuesday, boatline governors agreed unanimously on the name choice.
The question of what to name the next member of the Steamship Authority fleet will likely be answered Tuesday morning, when the boatline board of governors meets in Vineyard Haven. The meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Katharine Cornell Theatre on Spring street.
It might not be obvious, but right from the start in 1950, the Steamship Authority has followed fairly clear lines of thought when it comes to naming ferries and freight boats.
The Island may be busier this summer, if advance reservations on the Steamship Authority are an indication.
Reservations for vehicle passage from Woods Hole to the Vineyard are up 3.5 per cent over last year, and bookings in the other direction are up 4.6 per cent, according to data collected by the Steamship Authority at the end of April.
The Steamship Authority this week postponed making a decision on the proposed Woods Hole terminal redesign because of additional questions from village residents. Woods Hole community members thanked the boat line for listening.
Cost estimates for a ferry to replace the Governor and a plan to rebuild the Woods Hole terminal top the agenda of the Steamship Authority governors this morning. The monthly board meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Marine Biological Laboratory Candle House in Woods Hole.
The Steamship Authority governors Tuesday voted to go forward with designs for a new freight ferry with a capacity for 384 people.
For almost a year, the SSA has been looking at plans for fleet replacement, beginning with replacing the freight ferry Governor. In August, the board opted in favor of a 235-foot freight vessel similar in size to the ferry Martha's Vineyard, but asked for price comparisons between a boat with a 384-person capacity and a 512-person capacity.

As a home-schooled student born and raised in Syracuse, Stephanie Dawes Brainard '08 knew she wanted to study music. She's now a musician with the U.S. Navy Band Northwest in Seattle, WA, and she can't say enough positive things about the music program at Onondaga.
"When I was ready for college, I didn't look anyplace else – Onondaga has a really great music program," she says. "Why would I want to go to another school and be taught by undergrads who are still learning their craft when I could go to Onondaga and learn from professors who have advanced degrees and are masters at what they do?"
She also says that choosing to come to Onondaga helped her save on college loans, which was also a major reason for her decision to enlist in the U.S. Navy. Brainard is enlisted for five years with plans to further her education.
"There are definitely opportunities while I'm in the Navy," she says.
Eventually, Stephanie says she'd like to go to a conservatory or perhaps teach at the college level.

For Kurt Busch, the formula for winning at Martinsville Speedway was an easy one.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
"I've been on this journey for a while," said the STP 500 winner Busch. "Every time you come to Martinsville you draw a line through it; like 'there's no way I'll be able to challenge those Hendrick guys or challenge for a top-10.'"
On Sunday, Busch beat "those Hendrick guys" using the same equipment they had, courtesy of the deal struck between his team, Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) and Hendrick Motorsports. Hendrick builds the cars and engines, and SHR prepares the combination for racing.
Not only did Busch beat the other Hendrick cars, he also did it in style, in a door-to-door battle with six-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson.
Johnson, with eight wins on the paper-clip-shaped Martinsville oval, was the class of the field all afternoon, leading 296 of 500 laps. But it was the last dozen that made the difference. Try as he might, Johnson was unable to hold off a determined Busch in the final laps.
"Man that is all I had, that is all I could do," said Johnson in the post-race press conference. "I got back by him and then he got back to me and I was really, really loose in the closing stages of the race.
"Once he got back to me and put the pressure to me, I couldn't keep the back (of the car) under me. I put all the front brake in it that I could and was just hoping I could hold him off, but just wasn't able to."
It was a 1-2-3 sweep for Hendrick-built cars, as Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished third.
Busch became the sixth winner in as many Sprint Cup races in 2014, calling into question whether or not one win is a guaranteed spot in the Chase.
Even race winner Busch questioned his status with only one win.
"It's (the Chase field) going to fill up quick, and we have to do our job on this 41 team to develop as a team and to be a bona fide chase contender when the Chase starts. So we're not going to rest on this win. If we get a second win, that's when I would call ourselves locked in."

The problem with winter is that most fashionable things do not keep you warm i.e. while you may look extremely stylish you might end up catching hypothermia so in order to avoid being constantly ill this year due to my commitment to fashion i set out to find a new outfit that is both on trend and warm, incorporating the very now beige/camel colour pallet and hints of fur with the interesting textures of the white jumper and skirt.The outfit also goes really well with my camel cape ( capes being the wintercoat to have this season!) and my new furry satchel from river island.

You may want to take this with a grain – or maybe a block – of salt until there's other verification, but Fox Sports News is reporting this morning that Indiana has offered its basketball coaching job to Tony Bennett.
The Fox Sports report by Jeff Goodman says IU, according to two unidentified sources, offered Bennett, 38, the job yesterday, one day after his Washington State team lost to No. 1 North Carolina in WSU's first Sweet 16 game since 1941.
Bennett, the son of former Wisconsin and WSU coach Dick Bennett and brother of former IU women's coach Kathi Bennett, is 52-17 in two seasons at Washington State.

Interesting if true given other potential candidates, namely Sean Miller, are still in the tournament. I have read numerous stories regarding Miller which state he is content a Xavier and believes he can have all the success there that any other program may offer.
This would be very good news for Indiana basketball
Even though this comes from a weak source, it's hard not to be excited. I believe the source stated that Bennett's name was the top of a list which included other premier coaches. So it would make sense that they offered the position right away.
I've been all over the internet this morning and the only source so far is Goodman's story. But it is being posted on WSU message boards and the feeling there is that he is going to leave; if not IU then CAL.
This is very dissappointing, there are many other candidates out there and Bennett has coached for only 2 years……this is just like having Davis and/Dakich!! Dakich is a better choice……
It's hard for me to be excited about this right now. Bennett has 2 years of experience as a head coach at a program where expectations are as low as it gets and there's no pressure to win.
He may turn out to be a great coach but it's hard for me to see that he's prepared for the pressure cooker that he would face at IU. I suspect that IU fans won't be nearly as patient as WSU fans.
WSU fans didn't have to be patient. He was National Coach of the Year his first year where they went to the NCAA for the first time in like 31 years and this year made it to the sweet 16.

Sorta sounds like 1971 when a certain coach who had been at Army only 3 yrs came to a program that had been down and out for a while. Solid guy whose family has been a part of Big 10 BB for a long time. Who understands what its like to be in the Big Ten both athletically and educationally…. If this is true, then we have hit a home run.
Cougar alum here.
Sounds like this will all shake out very quickly. Bennett is a great coach and more importantly a stand-up guy – meaning he won't let this fester for long without some sort of clarification. One way or the other.
i would absolutely HATE to lose him, but would have to admit the choice to move to a traditional powerhouse like IU is tough the pass up (and better than staying in conference at Cal, which would really be a shocker).
That said, if you manage to get him, you will not be disappointed, and IU will be in the hunt for NC's again very soon.
This one will really hurt.
If the story is true, Bennett may not even be interested in the uncertainty that lies ahead at Indiana with NCAA penalties. However, if true, I am much more confident in the search committee this morning.
bhss73, Knight had a long track record at Army, a place where it's pretty tough to consistently field winning teams. The 2 situations don't compare. Knight didn't have the program set up by his father and passed off to him and expectations at that time weren't like they are now.
Besides, I'm not arguing against Bennett. I just saying that there's not enough of a track record to get me fired up about him when there are other proven options. And we don't even know if this report is accurate.
no other sources are touching this. Goodman's 2 sources are probably his neighbors.
Goodman is always wrong about everything. He is a joke.
I wouldn't be suprised if IU hired Tony Bennett the singer anymore. Come sing to our lowly basketball program Tony, make us smile.
I'm still hoping for the home run of Pitino or Pearl. I guess Bennett would be good, but he doesn't excite me like those would. His style of play is slower and more defensive oriented, but who knows, it looks like it won games and maybe he was just using the players he had at WSU in an effective way.
He was 11-7 in the Pac 10. Surely we aren't comparing IU to Wazzu?

'What's Wrong With Virginia' Director is Thankful for Michigan's Tax Rebate
Motown isn't the only part of Michigan that filmmakers have found inspiration—and hefty tax incentives. Oscar-winning "Milk" writer Dustin Lance Black recently finished shooting his new movie "What's Wrong With Virginia" in Western Michigan.
Black says his independent film would've never been made without the 42% tax rebate the state offers film and TV productions. "This is a little, very personable film and those are two things that aren't getting made right now in Hollywood. We knew it would be independently financed and the budget would be small. When someone said we could turn our dollar into $1.42, we scouted Michigan," he says.
The movie which premiered to praise at the Toronto Film Festival this month stars Jennifer Connelly as a chain-smoking schizophrenic single mom who is having an affair with a Mormon sheriff played by Ed Harris. Grand Rapids, Mich.-based production company Tic-Tock Studios financed the film and employed a mix of local cast and crew and some L.A. transplants. The film has not yet finalized a deal with a U.S. distributor.
Hopwood DePree, founding partner of Tic-Tock estimates there are currently over $35 million worth of productions going on in Western Michigan, compared to more than $250 million in the Detroit area. The studio also helps train out-of-work auto workers and others to get work on film and TV productions and then helps them find employment, some times with Tic-Tock productions.
Black says the state's controversial film rebate lured him to consider Michigan, but it was the landscape that sealed the deal. The movie takes place in an ocean-side Virginia town. "I needed to find colonial and there's plenty of that. You can find turn-of-the-century, too. So, I realized it was possible," he says, though he did tack on a half-day of shooting in a real beach town and edited some of those exterior shots into the footage.
"I used Lake Michigan in one scene. It was a windy day so there were big waves and it actually worked," he says. The only problem: "You just had to make sure people didn't see the sun and where it was rising and setting because it was flipped."
Black took advantage of one of the many vacant houses in the state, a result of the tumbling economy and high foreclosure rates. "We had to find a house for Jennifer Connelly's character to live in. She needed this little middle-class home in the South which is a pretty specific thing. We found a house [in Holland, Michigan] slated for demolition. Even if we hadn't found it, we could've bought that property for as much as most productions cost to rent a location," he says.

GAZA/JERUSALEM: Israel said yesterday it would not bow to international pressure to end air strikes in Gaza that officials there said had killed over 100 Palestinians, despite an offer by US President Barack Obama to help negotiate a ceasefire with militants.
Asked if Israel might move from the mostly aerial attacks of the past four days into a ground war in Gaza to stop militant rocket fire, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu replied, "we are weighing all possibilities and preparing for all possibilities."
"No international pressure will prevent us from acting with all power," he told reporters in Tel Aviv a day after a telephone conversation with Obama about the worst flare-up in Israeli-Palestinian violence in almost two years.
Hamas' armed wing has warned airlines that it intends to target Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport with its rockets from Gaza and has told them not to fly there, a statement by the group said. The airport, Israel's main international aerial gateway, has been fully operational since Israel began an aerial offensive on Tuesday in the Gaza Strip and Palestinian militants intensified their cross-border rocket fire.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas urged the United Nations Security Council to order an immediate truce. But Israel said it was determined to end cross-border rocket attacks that intensified last month after its forces arrested hundreds of activists from the Islamist Hamas movement in the occupied West Bank following the abduction there of three Jewish teenagers who were later found killed. A Palestinian youth was killed in Jerusalem in a suspected Israeli revenge attack. Yesterday, Washington affirmed Israel's right to defend itself in a statement from the Pentagon. But Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel told Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Ya'alon he was concerned "about the risk of further escalation and emphasized the need for all sides to do everything they can to protect civilian lives and restore calm."
A rocket caused the first serious Israeli casualty — one of eight people hurt when a fuel tanker was hit at a service station in Ashdod, 30km north of Gaza, and Palestinian militants warned international airlines they would fire rockets at Tel Aviv's main airport. Two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike late yesterday, raising the death toll in four days of violence to 105, Gaza health ministry spokesman Ashraf Al Qudra said.
Earlier, a three-year-old child was killed when a home in northern Gaza was hit, Qudra said, shortly after an elderly man was killed in Beit Lahiya.
The body of a man killed earlier in the week was also found in Deir Al Balah, Qudra said.
Yesterday morning, six Palestinians were killed in two strikes, including one on the home of an Islamic Jihad militant in the southern city of Rafah, medical sources said.
Witnesses said the militant, Abdel Razzaq Al Ghannam, was not at home when the attack took place, but five other people, including a woman and a seven-year-old child, were killed.
Another 15 people were wounded in the attack which came an hour after another raid on Gaza City's Tel Al Hawa neighbourhood that killed 33-year-old Anas Abu Al Kass. Qudra said 154 people were wounded in strikes across the Gaza enclave yesterday.
The deaths raise to 105 the toll since Israel began Operation Protective Edge early Tuesday in an attempt to halt cross-border rocket fire by militant groups.
Since then, militants have fired at least 500 mortar rounds and rockets that struck Israel, while another 130 rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defence system, an army spokeswoman said yesterday.
It is the deadliest violence since November 2012, with a growing number of rockets fired at Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and even as far north as Haifa. So far, no Israelis have been killed.
However, a soldier was severely wounded in a mortar attack late on Thursday, and another man was very seriously injured when a rocket hit a petrol station in the southern port city of Ashdod early yesterday. Two soldiers were lightly wounded along the border with Gaza when Palestinians fired an anti-tank missile. Israel has authorised the call-up of 40,000 reservist troops, and threatened a ground operation to stamp out the rocket fire.Agencies

How could I include custom content type pages in the main nav menu? Thanks for assistance!
How could I include custom content type pages in the main nav menu? Thanks for assistance!
You can go to Appearance --> Menus (like normal), and select your custom pages and click the "Add to Menu" button just like any other post or page. Just make sure that your custom content type definition is marked as "Public".
Thanks for the fast reply, fireproofsocks. Unfortunately this is not very confortable, because I have to edit the menu each time, when I´m adding a new page of the custom content type (in my case it should be a subpage of a standard page and I´ld like to use the hierarchical menu of the theme). Is there a WP-function, with wich custom type content could be included in the nav?
So you're not wanting a static menu (which is what I outlined), you're wanting a *dynamic* menu that updates when you create new pages in your custom post type?
I'd recommend using my other plugin for this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/summarize-posts/
WordPress does not help us out here very much, unfortunately. So what you'd end up doing is writing some code in your templates that query the custom post types. This is essentially what your theme's index.php file does, albeit only for "posts". So the challenge is how to emulate that same functionality for your custom post types.
The solution that I came up with was to create a *page* that will be used to house the code to summarize the posts in your custom content type (thus the name of the other plugin). The Summarize Posts plugin supports shortcodes, so you can create a normal WP page and add a shortcode to that page's content, or since pages can use custom theme files, you can add a dedicated theme file for that page and put your PHP code in there.
Formatting a hierarchical menu is very tricky -- there are LOTS of formatting options to consider. I did file a feature request for this: http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-summarize-posts/issues/detail?id=1 but it's probably going to be difficult to sell this level of customization to the typical WP crowd. There's the also the fact that retrieving hierarchical menus can REALLY hit the server and the database hard -- it's a similar issue that MODx and Drupal overcame in very different ways, but essentially the only "real" way to solve this type of thing in a scalable way is via some sort of caching, and as soon as caching gets involved, the complexity goes way up.
So that's a long answer to your question... hopefully that wasn't too much babble for you. In short, try the Summarize Posts plugin and have a go at writing your own menu-generation code.
thanks a lot for this long answer!! understanding the problem better now. I´ll give sumarize-posts-plugin a try.

I'm trying to find a program for downloading called outlookswitcher.exe
Apparently, you need this if you've lost your palm installation disc. The
downloaded desktop software from palm is not sufficient on it's own. and
this extra program is necessary. A desktop software disc image would be even
better but I'm not holding my breath!
I had my disc stolen a couple of months ago and palm have been extremely
unhelpful. They are difficult to contact (especially if you don't want to
pay loads of fees) and they don't allow feedback easiliy so I don't see that
this is going to improve anytime soon. As much as I like palm over pocket
pc, the extra hassle generated by palm means I'll probably switch next time.
A great shame.
FWIW I'm XP, outlook 2003, tungsten T3 and I use docs to go and keysuite.
