Northern Summer Nationals Shatters Junior Dragster Competition Numbers; Tim Zyla Takes First Win in Pro Class
Skyview Drags, an IHRA sanctioned 1/8-mile drag strip, that sits on top of a mountain nicknamed "Rumble Ridge," hosted its annual Northern Summer Nationals 2-day racing event on Friday, July 1st and Saturday, July 2nd. With perfect weather helping to bolster attendance, the weekend was filled with hard won races and lots of family fun.
The event began on Friday with the Junior Dragster class sponsored by Precision Crankworks out of Kirkwood, NY. Skyview has been working with Don and Kathy Kiekel, owners of Precision Crankworks, to grow their Junior program for the past 3 racing seasons. And on Saturday, all that hard work was clearly evident as 22 8-18 year old racers took to the track. "Other than our huge annual Junior Dragster Shootout, which set our record at 24 Junior racers last year, this is our largest field of Juniors ever," said Kathy Kiekel. "It seems like all of our hard work is really paying off and we are so happy to see these kids week after week coming to race with us." These young racers, driving scale-model versions of the dragsters seen in the Super Pro class can hit 80 mph down the 1/8-mile track. The racers worked their way through single eliminations until only 2 remained. Haley Teed out of Friendsville, PA faced off against Matt Forbes from Esperance, NY. Teed had a .6270 reaction time and ran an 8.86 ET on her 8.80 dial but Forbes .5529 reaction time and his 8.0771 run on a 7.97 dial was enough to turn on the win light. Kimberly Klein, from Livingston Manor, NY earned the semi-finalist spot.The Teen Championship Racing Class is for 13-17 year olds who drive their family car down the race track with a parent or guardian coaching them in the fine art of drag racing. Point's leader Teresa Kurtz from Newark Valley, NY faced off against Brandon Searcy from Lowman, NY. Kurtz bolstered her points lead by winning the class with a .6630 reaction time and running a 10.72 on her 10.70 dial. Searcy broke out by running an 11.272 on his 11.30 dial.
In the Street Trophy class, Charlie Fulmer ran up against Gary French in the finals. French, who tows out of Seneca Falls, NY is currently tied for first in the point's standings. French laid down a .5168 reaction time to Fulmer's .6549 and took the win right out of the gate as Fulmer could not cover his 8.73 dial in when he ran an 8.9910. French, and his Illegal Regal, ran a 9.239 on his 9.14 dial and took home a beautiful trophy for his efforts. Shanon Fenton from Laceyville, PA was the semi-finalist.
In the Street Money class, 30 racers started the day with the desire to win the $200 cash prize. But in the end only Tony Zangari and his Camaro and points leader Howie Conklin, from Grahamsville, NY and his Strip Blazer II were left standing. Both drivers had very similar reaction times with Zangari posting a .6432 and Conklin posting a .6438 off the starting line. But on the top end, it was Zangari, running a 7.875 on his 7.80 dial who defeated Conklin, who ran an 8.530 on his 8.45 dial. Kenneth Roberts from Ulster, PA and Tim Wright from Apalachin, NY were semi-finalists.
In the Bike/Sled class, 9 snowmobile and motorcycle racers had their sights set on their $200 prize money. Working their way through the pack was the husband and wife team of Ron & Chrissy Klein from Livingston Manor, NY. And in the finals, there they were facing each other. Both Klein's had run the right lane all day. "How are we going to determine who gets what lane?" Chrissy Klein asked her husband. Ladies choice would have been the gentlemanly thing to do, but Ron Klein wanted to go off the prior round's reaction times. With Ron Klein having a .5348 to his wife's .5429 lane choice would be his based on his recommendation. "I let it go at that," laughed Chrissy Klein. "If I took lane choice and won I would have heard all about how I only beat Ron because I took the lane so I just decided to let him have the right lane and I would run the left." Husbands should know never to run against a very determined woman, especially when she's your wife! Chrissy Klein nailed a .1000 advantage off the starting line against her husband and then ran a 6.405 on her 6.35 dial in while Ron Klein broke out desperately trying to chase down his wife. Dan Cerio and Brent Garcia from Cincinnatus, NY were semi-finalists.
In the Pro Class, 34 drivers took to the track for their chance at the $900 top money. Working their way through the rounds, the finals welcomed current points leader Tim Zyla from Sayre, PA, driving the Manley Houghtalen Camaro against veteran racer Jim Erecitano, out of Vestal, NY and his Last Boy Scout car. Erecitano had the advantage off the starting line but both racers ran under their dial in numbers. Zyla broke out by less to earn his very first Pro win. And he did it on his Dad Greg's birthday. What a great way for the Zyla family to celebrate together. Jeff Gallick and his beautiful Henry J car, racing out of Athens, PA was the semi-finalist.
The Super Pro class, 24 drivers set their sights on the $800 top money. After going out first round, Tom Samsel threw another $25 into the pot for Buy Backs and that proved to be a very wise investment. The finals saw Samsel and his dragster, towing out of Rome, NY against the fast dragster of 2010 track Champion Richie Forbes from Esperance, NY. Samsel had a .0019 reaction time to Forbes' .0131 and Samsel ran a near perfect 5.691 on his 5.69 dial to snatch the victory from Forbes who ran a 4.723 on his 4.71 dial. Erik Larsen from Cortland, NY and Russ Denmark from Ovid, NY were semi-finalists.
A very special event occurred during the Super Pro races when a beautiful black Corvette made its return to Skyview Drags. Tommy Ingalls, 2007 Super Pro Track Champion, passed away in October 2010 at the age of 53. He was a beloved member of the Skyview racing family and will forever be a part of our memories and our hearts. His daughter, Crystal Ingalls Curpier, wife of Super Pro racer Pete Curpier, was the first woman to race in Super Pro at Skyview Drags. She retired from racing in 2009 but has decided to break out her racing suit once again and return to the sport she loves to participate in. With the help of a lot of family and devoted friends, the corvette received a new motor, some shiny new Lexan, and a good scrubbing and polishing over the past few months. Crystal Curpier debuted the car at Skyview this weekend and made an inaugural first pass down the track with her racing family at the starting line and lined up along the fence to cheer her on. There wasn't a dry eye in the house as everyone welcomed back the black 'Vette and its owners, Joi Ingalls and Crystal Curpier, to Skyview racing.
The evening ended with a great turn out for Friday night Test & Tune. After 14.5 hours of time trials, elimination runs and a 4 hours Test & Tune, the track closed for the evening and everyone went home for a few hours of sleep before getting up to do it all over again the next day.
SATURDAY, JULY 2nd
Saturday's events kicked off with the Precision Crankworks Junior Dragster program. The Kiekel's were offering a special incentive for the second day's race of the Northern Summer Nationals and had put up a brand new iPod Touch for the winner of today's race. "We pulled into the track and I couldn't believe the Junior Dragsters we had on the property," said Kathy Kiekel. "They appeared to have multiplied over night!" After everyone registered, the final tally had 30 Juniors ready to race. "This shatters our previous record for Junior Dragsters," said Track Director Amy Culver. "We always expect a great turnout for our Junior Dragster Shootout but that record was 24 cars. With 30 here for a regular race day, we were just thrilled to see the kids piling into the lanes." Racing got underway and with a tightly run program crammed into 3 hours, what started with 30 drivers was down to only 2 in the finals. Haley Teed out of Friendsville, PA made her second showing in the finals for the weekend. She would face Kimberly Klein from Livingston Manor, NY who was the semi-finalist from Friday's race. Both young ladies have some good seat time and come from strong racing families. But in the end, it was Kimberly Klein who turned on the win light and earned her way into victory lane. Klein won her first competition event at Skyview Drags and has won several Second Chance races at the track. But this win was very special for her as she desperately wanted to win that new iPod Touch. After the presentation of the winner's trophy, the 15-year old Klein was visibly shaking as she accepted her winner's prize from Precision Crankworks owner Don Kiekel. "These kids are the future of our sport," said Don Kiekel. "My wife and I are here to support their racing efforts and are proud to work with Skyview Drags to offer a safe and fun-filled family environment for them to spend their time at." Precision Crankworks teamed up with fellow Pro Class racer Gary Pascucci to give the Junior racers and their siblings free ice cream. "On Friday, Faith Peckham told me that she loved ice cream and she politely asked if we could please have some on Saturday because it was going to be so hot," said Don Kiekel. "I think my wife put her up to the asking part, but who can deny a polite young lady who loves ice cream? Luckily Gary stepped up to the plate with a sizable contribution because the kids ate us out of house and home," added Kiekel.
In other great racing action, the TCR class saw Christian Taylor from Endicott, NY against Brandon Searcy, who was the runner-up on Friday. Saturday would prove to be Searcy's day as he took the win light and earned his spot in Victory Lane. Teresa Kurtz was the semi-finalist.
In Street Trophy, Charlie Fulmer made his second appearance of the weekend in the finals. This time he was pitted against Howie Conklin who is tied for first place in the points. Fulmer was not to be denied for a second time and his .5958 reaction time won the race for him. Matt Peterson from Spencer, NY and Gary French, yesterday's Street Trophy winner, were the semi-finalists.
In Street Money, 26 cars crammed into the lanes with their driver's having one common goal – win that $200 prize money! Six rounds later it would be Tony Zangari and his Camaro against Gary French and his Illegal Regal in the finals. Zangari was the winner on Friday night and he was hoping that Lady Luck would continue to shine her light on him. But Lady Luck is fickle and she proved her point in this race. Zangari had a perfect .0000 reaction time off the starting line to French's less than stellar .6670 reaction time. French was also off his mark on the top end when he ran a 9.312 on a 9.20 dial. But Zangari would break out, running a too fast 7.694 on his 7.80 dial and hand the win over to French. Matt Peterson was the semi-finalist.
In the Bike/Sled class, 11 snowmobile and motorcycle racers hoped to be the one to take home the $200 prize money. Matt Luke from Cicero, NY found himself facing Friday night's winner Chrissy Klein. Luke had a .5229 reaction time to Klein's .5257 reaction. Klein's snowmobile ran a 6.515 on her 6.49 dial to give her a great run, but it wasn't good enough. Luke ran a stellar 5.976 on his 5.97 dial and landed himself into Victory Lane with a great package. Ron Poland from Taberg, NY and Corinne Fidler from Camden, NY were the semi-finalists.
In Pro Class, 41 racers vied for the $900 top prize. It took 6 rounds to reach the finals but in the end, it was Bruce Sessions and Zane Furman from Camptown, PA who were left to face each other. Furman posted a .6391 reaction time and ran a 7.011 on this 7.00 dial. But it was Sessions night as he had a stellar .5099 reaction time and ran 7.152 on his 7.14 dial to take the win. Tim Zyla, last night's winner, and Mel Teed from Friendsville, PA were semi-finalists.
The Super Pro class saw a strong turnout with 28 racers all angling for the $1,100 top prize. It would take 6 rounds to complete the race and the finals pitted Chuck White from Ontario, NY against John Bursman from Penfield, NY. Earlier that day, Bursman went out first round and thought about packing it up and heading for home. "I told him he was nuts," said White. "Throw another $25 at the track and get back in this thing." Bursman took White's advice and proved, once again, that Buy Backs can be the best investment of your money. With White and Bursman now in the finals, White hoped that his earlier advice to a fellow racer wouldn't come back to haunt him. But when it came down to the wire, White is always a tough competitor. The finals were over and done on the starting line when White treed Bursman with a .5041 light to Bursman's .6779 reaction time. White ran a 6.771 on this 6.74 dial to Bursman's 6.156 on his 6.12 dial in.
The weekend festivities wrapped up with a fantastic fireworks display courtesy of track owner George Swansbrough. With a very successful Northern Summer Nationals on the record books, Skyview Drags is already preparing for a huge race next Saturday.
On Saturday, July 9th Skyview Drags will host 2 very special events.
The Pro Sled Shootout will feature "Thunder" a jet powered quad piloted by Paul Magliato. Powered by a GE T-53 Helicopter engine that makes 2000lbs of thrust, Magliato has gone 200 mph on his jet quad. In addition, Skyview Drags and Fuller Racing present the Pro Outlaw Shootout where the fastest asphalt sleds in North America will take the line for a chance at a huge $2,000 payout. Other races include the All Motor Shootout that offers $2,000 to the winner as well as the Bike/Sled Bracket Bash, which pays $1,500 to win. Skyview will also host a 5.50 Index class and a 6.50 Index class open to all bikes and sleds.
That same day, Skyview Drags and Ingalls Racing proudly present the Tommy Ingalls No Guts No Glory gamblers race. This is a Box / No Box event that pays $1,500 to win in Box and $1,000 to win in No Box. The winner of each race will then face off for the ultimate Shootout and an additional $2,000 to win!
The festivities will start on Friday night for Test & Tune, where the track will feature live music and great food.
Then on Saturday the gates will open at 8:30 AM with registration and tech inspection from 9 AM – 10:30 AM. Racers are encouraged to pre-register for these events. Time trials and qualifying will begin at 11 AM. "We are expecting a high turnout for both races," says Track Director Amy Culver. "So we anticipate that this will be an all-day event running well into the late night hours."
Spectator admission is $20 for this huge event. Skyview Drags is located in Tioga Center, NY just off route 17C on Skyline Drive.

LSA Makes a Statement
For big speakers, like the Legacy Whisper XD in the story below, the problem in setting up an effective demo in a show environment is that the room may be too small for the speaker. And then for speakers that are more modestly sized, if they're demonstrated in a big room, the speaker may not be able to play loud enough and the bass response may not be sufficiently powerful for the big space.
The LSA (Living Sounds Audio) Group's demo featured the LSA2 Statement ($5999/pair) speakers driven by their own LSA Standard tube hybrid integrated amp ($6200), the system set up along the wall in a ballroom that included racks of LP and CDs, and numerous tables laden with cables and accessories. The LSA2pictured here with LSA president Brian Warfordis a compact tower, featuring a 6¼" bass driver, 6¼" midrange, and a ribbon tweeter. A pair of them was able to play surprisingly loudand sounded good in the process.

Master with Two Details on the Same Page
By Shay Shmeltzer-Oracle on May 16, 2008
ADF makes it very easy to create a master detail page with one drag and drop operation from the data control palette onto the page.
But what if you want a master with 2 details on one page?
It's actually quite simple to achieve this - but I got asked this a couple of times last week so here goes...
All you need to do is drag the first detail over and drop it as a master->detail.
Then drag the second detail over and drop it as a table or a form - and now you have the three tables on the page and you are almost done.
But if you'll run your page now you'll find that your second detail is not refreshing when you are switching between the master records the way that your first detail does.
ADF did this synchronization part automatically for the first master-detail you dropped. All you are missing is a partial page rendering setting on your second detail.
See the difference between the two detail tables here:
So let's set it up - all you need to do is go to the form or table that contains your second detail and set its partialTrigger property to point to the master component.
(You can look at the setting for your first detail component and copy them).

All bad things must eventually come to an end, right?
I'm sure that's what most Pittsburgh Pirates fans were thinking about earlier this summer.
Just a couple short weeks ago it appeared skipper Clint Hurdle's Bucs were a lock for a winning season.
Although the Pirates are still alive to reach the one-game postseason play-in contest and still finally snap that 19-year stretch of losing seasons, they are doing their best to make things difficult.
Having been an avid baseball fan my whole life I still can recall like it was yesterday when Atlanta Braves pinch-hitter Francisco Cabrera laced the game-winning, two-run single to left in the bottom of the ninth inning during Game 7 of the 1993 National League Championship Series to beat the Pirates as David Justice and Sid Bream scored.
It's hard to fathom that was the beginning of a decline for the Pittsburgh franchise I'm sure no baseball fan saw coming now nearly two decades later.
Strangely, that year of 1993 when this terrible streak for Pirates fans began also happened to mark the first year of the Frontier League, which of course has been in the news around here lately as the Mid-Ohio Valley area is trying to figure out if it can bring a team to town and support it.
The good news is the Pirates still have 20 games left in the season and anything can happen.
If things don't work out for the Pirates this year I can understand the frustration because that's the type of season it's been for my old American League only fantasy baseball team. During the season each franchise only has slots for 10 pitchers, but my squad has somehow managed to use 21 different starters. It's actually 23 total pitchers (two relief bums) in all and the latest addition of Kevin Millwood from the waiver wire was the actual 21st starter through the first 140-plus games. Talk about a season to forget.
Turning to football, I'd love to be at Joan C. Edwards Stadium on Saturday to watch the visiting Bobcats of Ohio University take on Marshall.
I've been trying to decide all week long which team I should take. Last week turned out to be a rough one for my football picks, but congratulations go out to the Belpre football team and head coach Greg Adams for putting that losing streak to bed.
Oddly, the OU Bobcats never have won a game in their five attempts on the road against the Thundering Herd since Joan C. Edwards Stadium opened back in 1991. Oddsmakers, though, obviously like Ohio University's chances to win the Battle for the Bell since they are a strong touchdown favorite in Las Vegas.
Of the nine Class A schools which are still winless, two of them go head-to-head as Paden City, losers of six straight, travel to take on Gilmer County, which has lost seven in a row and 15 of 16.
Hopefully, someone will end a losing streak there on Friday night, unless it ends up in a tie.

"Carriage horses have traditionally been a part of New York City," he said.
Protesters eager to ban the industry can be regularly seen on the edge of the park, but their presence doesn't deter tourists from climbing aboard a horse and carriage.
Two such tourists are Irish mother and daughter Anna and Ann McKee. From Belfast, they told the Irish Voice they planned to do the horse and carriage ride as part of their first trip to New York City.
"We planned to do it as we knew Central Park was really big," Anna McKee told the Irish Voice.
City dwellers themselves understand why some people are opposed to the industry.
"The thing I would be concerned about is traffic," McKee said. "But the horses didn't seem scared.
IT'S almost 5 p.m. For today Paddy's workday is complete as we begin the ride back to his home at Clinton Park Stables, located just off the West Side Highway at 52nd street.
Seemingly undisturbed by the noise of a bustling Seventh Avenue, Paddy leads the way down the busy street as cabbies and tour buses whiz by.
Before his life in the city, Paddy was used for transporting vegetables to a market.
"He was used to being on the road already," Malone told the Irish Voice.
"The difference between being on the road on Pennsylvania and Manhattan is that 90 percent of the job is waiting," Malone said. "You have to teach the horse to wait and be patient."
As for the speeding cars, the cyclists and sirens of rush hour New York, Malone says they don't tend to spook the horses.
"What has impact is obscurities that they have never seen before, whether it be a street sweeper, a construction site, diggers and things like that," he said.
As we pass through quieter cross streets between avenues, Paddy picks up his pace as Malone admits that not every horse could survive the bright lights of the city.
"When you go to buy a horse, you want the one with the head down and not the head up. The one with the head up has too much energy," Malone says. "The horses that are spirited are not for us."
We arrive back to the Clinton Park Stables on 52nd Street about 30 minutes after leaving the park.
The stable hands tend to Paddy, as Malone offers the Irish Voice a tour of the three-story Hell's Kitchen stables, home to 75 horses.
"One of the criticisms is that it is multi-level stable," Malone states.
"We happen to have fire rescue just down the street. That is the beauty of being in the city. We have a plan for everything here in case of emergency."
After they return from a day's labor the horses are led up a steep ramp to their allocated uniform stalls, where their ID information is displayed. Malone points out the sprinkler systems overhead and the misters for the high summer temperatures.
"Everybody has a schedule, the stables hands are here 24-hours," Malone says.
"We are an open book," he says. "Whoever wants to come and see us is welcome to come and see us."
Following on from the industry's open door policy, over 100 people attended the stable tour open house this past weekend as part of the association's ClipClop initiative.
As for the future, Malone says the association remains dedicated.
"We will continue to protect our industry. We will continue to keep doing the business that we have been doing for 150 years," he says.

A Wizard of Earthsea
by Ursula K. Le Guin
A Wizard of Earthsea Chapter 2 Summary
How It All Goes Down
The Shadow
- Life with Ogion turns out to be a little dull: instead of flying to his home in Re Albi (which means "Falcon's Nest"), they just walk; instead of moving the rain away with magic, Ogion just lets them get wet.
- When Ged asks when they're going to start doing super amazing magic stuff, Ogion tells him that patience is important to being a wizard and that Ged needs to study more to learn what things are.
- Now, in our experience, telling teens that they need to be patient and study more always works.
- At Re Albi, Ged starts learning the runes of the Hardic language, which isn't magic, but is related to the Old Speech that is magic. (In the real world, runes are the letters of the alphabet for some older Germanic/Scandinavian languages. In other words: Vikings!)
- His other main job as apprentice seems to be gathering herbs in the spring, which gives Ged plenty of time to wander around.
- One day, while he's out gathering herbs, he meets the daughter of the lord of Re Albi. (Apparently, Re Albi is not a democracy.)
- The daughter makes nice, but also teases him about his powers. He tries to impress her by calling a falcon to him, which she doesn't find super impressive after all.
- So, in order to impress the girl – classic move – Ged goes through Ogion's spells and sort of accidentally starts reading a spell to call the dead, which we've all done at some time or other. Ged can't stop himself from finishing the spell once he starts reading it, and some terrible shadow monster appears.
- Luckily, Ogion comes in and banishes the shadow monster before things get out of hand. He points out to Ged that the girl he wanted to impress may be a bit of witch since her mother's a bit of a witch.
- He uses this opportunity to teach Ged a lesson: "This sorcery is not a game we play for pleasure or for praise. Think of this: that every word, every act of our Art is said and is done either for good, or for evil. Before you speak or do you must know the price that is to pay!" (2.48).
- That's may be Ogion's last lesson since Ged decides he should go to the great wizard school known as Hogwarts… uh, no, we meant to say the great wizard school on Roke Island.
- Ogion takes Ged down to the Great Port of Gont, where everyone honors Ogion for stopping an earthquake years ago. This makes Ged reconsider – if my teacher is so awesome, maybe I should stay here with him? But they find a ship named Shadow and send him off to Roke anyway.
- This is Ged's first time off the island, and he quickly learns sailing from the men. He also gets to see new islands, and even gets to experience his very first storm at sea.
- And then he gets dropped off at Roke.

Longtime Pocono residents could sympathize with New Englanders this past weekend while they were digging out after Friday's historic storm that dumped up to three feet of snow in New England and Long Island. While Pocono residents have been spared recently of major snowstorms, we certainly have had our share of big ones over the years, including the blizzard that struck the region on Feb. 6, 1978, dumping close to 20 inches of snow in parts of the region and crippling commerce locally for several days.

The Orange And The Green
Imagine my surprise when I arrived at the school today to see my son hopping while he retrieved his backpack, and then doing some sort of high stepping back to his table. Imagine my bewilderment when my son raced out of his classroom and latched onto my arm, begging me to buy some Irish music.
Apparently, the school had an assembly today with some Irish step dancers.
My daughter joined us and began her own version of hopping and ankle crossing. My son started up, too.
I stood there with a straight face until they were all sweaty and panting. And then I led them to the van, with promises of some iTunes Irish dance music after a snack and some rehydration, because damn that hopping made them thirsty.
At my son's insistance, I am now the proud owner of a copy of The Orange and The Green by the Irish Rovers. And he has been proudly stepping away all evening.
When my husband came home, my son climbed up onto a chair and did his whole routine. We both stood there smiling mildly, nodding in time to the music and exclaiming over the random high kicks he added into the mix. And when he was finished, and retired to the other room, my husband and I both broke into our own versions of it, arms stick-straight at our sides, feet doing a whole lot of nothing, but frantically, and idiot grins on our faces.
Made my day today.

I am running Mandrake LE2005 on HP pavilion dv1040US ( centrino, intel
I was having issues with resume causing poweroff and fixed it as per a post
somewhere here so that works now.
My sleep.sh script does the following-
vbetool vbestate save > /tmp/vbestate
# Step 2: send sleep command via ACPI
touch /tmp/acpi_sleep
echo mem > /sys/power/state
# Step 3: wake-up and reload
vbetool vbestate restore < /tmp/vbestate
vbetool post
vbetool dpms on

This brings X back but the widgets do not act normally. I can click on
buttons and all that but a) widgets aren't drawn properly ( some appear in
reverse video, as it were) and b) when I try to resize them, they start
shrinking and disappeaaring.
The best I can do is reboot !
How do I get back the video properly ?

Where Are They Now: Charles Nelson, Professor Emeritus of History
Charles Nelson, Professor of History, 1964–1994
The assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 may very well qualify as the most controversial moment in U.S. history. There is no shortage of conspiracy theories about what happened on that fateful day in Dallas, and everyone from mob bosses to the vice president have been accused of complicity in the crime.
As a professor of history at Drake University, Charles Nelson delved into the controversy surrounding the assassination and encouraged students to think critically about the information available and come to their own conclusions.
"I examined the critical literature on the JFK assassination, found it wanting, so I told my students I believed in the basic conclusions of the Warren Report," says Nelson.
The "JFK Class" was a favorite among students, not only for the riveting subject matter but also for the expertise and enthusiasm Nelson brought to the classroom.
"Professor Nelson taught us all the theories about the assassination, and it was our job to accurately argue the theory we felt was the truth," recalls Kristin Dunn, JO'92. "It was an amazing experience being educated so broadly about a single instance in history, and his passion for the subject matter was contagious."
Students and peers alike recognized Nelson's dedication, which earned him the Best Undergraduate Teacher Award in 1970.
"Receiving the award was one of my favorite memories of my time at Drake," recalls Nelson. "President Paul Sharp presented me with the award, and I was highly honored, being then a young and passionate teacher."
Nelson left Drake in 1994 and has since moved to San Diego with his wife, Solveig, GR'76,'78, to be closer to their daughter, Katie, and grandchildren, Alex, 9, and Kristin, 7.
"I have fond memories of Drake and miss many of my former colleagues," says Nelson. "And of course I was a fan of the exciting Drake Bulldog basketball home games played in Vets' Auditorium and always cheered the runners at the sometimes chilly annual Drake Relays."
In addition to spending time with family, Nelson remains an avid reader. He recently completed the Sherlock Holmes series and has read most of John LeCarre's espionage thrillers. In between books, Nelson spends time landscaping and working in his garden.

Cloud Atlas clip: its three directors discuss the movie
If you want to hear a little more about the making of the forthcoming Cloud Atlas, here's a great clip of directors Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis discussing the film…
Last week's Cloud Atlas may have left you impressed at the scope and ambition of the movie, and the sheer length of the trailer, but also perplexed, perhaps, at the amount of stuff going on. If that's the case, you may be interested to see the clip below, originally shot as an intro to the trailer, in which directors Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis discuss why they chose to make the movie.
It's light on actual answers – and quite obviously tongue-in-cheek – but diverting nonetheless. "It's set in the past! And the future! Lots of action! Why keep genres separated?" Are a few of the things you'll hear in the clip, and it's heartening to note that the trio don't shy away from the questions many will have already asked themselves: how can three actors possibly work? Surely it was tricky to get financed? Why was the trailer so unusually long?
"The story was tough to reduce. So we decided to make a really, really long trailer, and just put it out there", the directors tell us. Cloud Atlas looks complex, strange, and we're really looking forward to it.
Cloud Atlas is out in October.

Dartford warbler
A long-tailed non-migratory warbler with grey upper parts and purplish-brown underparts, found in western Europe and North Africa.
- Sylvia undata, family Sylviidae.
Example sentences

- He said: 'If that were to increase, we might well see many more nightjars and even the arrival of the Dartford warblers, which we don't have yet.

SIKESTON -- Several people were injured in five motorcycle and ATV accidents occurring within 24 hours of each other this weekend in Southeast Missouri.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the first accident occurred at 5:45 a.m. Friday, half a mile south of Scott City.
Dewey L. Veal, 55, of Scott City was traveling southbound on a closed section of County Road 305 when his motorcycle became stuck on railroad tracks. Veal dismounted his bike prior to it being struck by the westbound Union Pacific train driven by Jeffery R. Smith, 36, of Salem, Ill. Injury information for the accident was unavailable.
Then, at 8:30 a.m. Friday, in Pemiscot County, Ronnie V. Rutledge, 63, of St. Louis sustained minor injuries when he was traveling south on Interstate 55 and his motorcycle lost control after hitting loose gravel, coming to rest in the median. Rutledge was transported by ambulance to Pemiscot Memorial Hospital in Hayti.
At 5:05 p.m. Friday, two miles east of Wyatt, a motorcycle accident resulted in injuries for an Oklahoma man. Mark A. Rich, 56, of Quapaw, Okla., was traveling eastbound on Highway 60 when his motorcycle traveled off the right side of the road and overturned. Rich sustained moderate injuries and was air evacuated to Saint Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau.

By Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force - AfghanistanJuly 10, 2010
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan - Afghan security forces, partnered with members of a U.S. Special Operations team, located and destroyed two improvised explosive devices placed on a highway in Zabul province July 6.
The partnered response resulted from a tip by an Afghan citizen to the Shin Kay district governor. The district governor then contacted Afghan National Police, Afghan National Army, and members of a U.S. Special Operations team to coordinate a safe removal.
"In the past four months, seven of the eight IEDs located and destroyed in Shin Kay were a direct result of tips from Afghan citizens," said a U.S. Special Forces team sergeant involved with the partnered response. "This emerging trend of people rejecting insurgent activity in the area and calling in IED tips is win-win for everyone in the district."
Once the partnered force arrived at the site, the district governor, ANP, and ANA began searching the area with mine detectors and located two pressure-plate IEDs at a dip in the road.
"Both bombs were well-emplaced, deep into the dirt, and were difficult to dislodge," said the USSF sergeant.
Following discussions with the district governor and Afghan Forces, U.S. Special Operations team members were asked to destroy the explosives on site.
"This combined effort is indicative of the growing cooperation between the Afghan Security Forces, the Afghan government, and local citizens," said Sergeant 1st Class Andrew Kosterman, a CJSOTF-A spokesperson. "Putting IEDs on a public road demonstrates the Taliban have absolutely no regard for the safety and well being of the local population."

Srivatsa's Review
Job very well done
By far the best service station where my car has been serviced. Staff was very responsive and understood my exact requirements.Also gave all the required information in advance so that I will not be surprised later.
The quality of work was very good, delivered on time and helped me understand a few basic things about the car in case if I required it later.
Overall I was very impressed with their work.
One thing I need to mention is, I asked to wash my car which they did very well and also did vacuum the interiors of my car.
I would for sure recommend Bodyworks.
The comments are purely based on my personal experience

Euro 2012: Odds Are Looking Better for England
England may have begun Euro 2012 with the most modest of expectations — pundits will tell you it had a lot to be modest about — but as the quarterfinals begin on Thursday, the Three Lions are suddenly among the favorites to take the whole thing. At least according to the Castrol Football predictions, which use a formula based on goals scored in recent games to determine the most likely outcomes.
Indeed, England has a 15.6% chance of winning the tournament for the first time. Only Spain (31.6%) and Germany (20.6%) are rated higher. But doing that would first require the Three Lions to capitalize on their 61.3% chance of overcoming Italy on Sunday — even if there is a 29% chance that they will need extra time or penalty kicks.
Greece, the surprise of the tournament so far, remains the longest of the long shots, according to Castrol Football. The 2004 champions have only a 26% chance of advancing to the semifinals and a miniscule 2.3% chance to win the Euro for a second time. That's because the immediate problem facing Greece, outside of a collapsing economy, is a quarterfinal clash with Germany.
On the other side of the bracket, Portugal is expected to continue its dark-horse run at the Euro by beating the Czech Republic, winner of Group A. And defending champion Spain, distinctly unimpressive in its 1-0 victory over Croatia, has a 66% chance of knocking out France, which snuck into the quarters after losing 2-0 to Sweden on Tuesday.
If all the predictions hold, the semifinal matchups should revive the fierce rivalry of England vs. Germany and the Iberian grudge match of Spain vs. Portugal. But Greece is the living, breathing reminder that a 2.3% chance can sometimes be enough.

Seasonal influenza viruses that infect humans each year and are passed from person-to-person include influenza B viruses (which infect only humans and not other animals) and two influenza A subtypes - H3N2 and H1N1 viruses.
A novel influenza virus has a subtype that is different from currently circulating human influenza H1 and H3 viruses. Novel subtypes include, but are not limited to H2, H5, H7, and H9 subtypes. Influenza H1 and H3 subtypes originating from a non-human species or from genetic reassortment between animal and human viruses are also novel subtypes.
Occasionally, influenza A viruses that typically infect other animals (such as birds and pigs) are transmitted to humans. Sometimes, human infections with novel or variant influenza viruses occur because of the close contact between humans and animals. Other times, the infections occur because of changes in the influenza virus.
Human infections from novel viruses can range in severity from mild respiratory illness to severe illness with increased mortality.
Influenza A viruses that regularly circulate in pigs are called swine flu viruses. While swine flu viruses do not typically infect humans; occasional human infections have occurred. When the infection happens in humans, the viruses are called variant viruses. Variant viruses are a subset of novel influenza viruses. The influenza A (H3N2) variant virus, or H3N2v, was first identified in pigs in the United States in 2010. In 2011, twelve cases of human infection with H3N2v occurred in five different states (not including Virginia). In 2012 and 2013, additional cases occurred, including one in 2013 in an out-of-state resident with contact to swine in Virginia.
H3N2v Key Points:
*Contact with swine may be direct contact (touching/handling a pig) or indirect contact (coming within about 6 feet of a pig without known direct contact).
Influenza A viruses that regularly circulate in birds are called "avian flu viruses". While avian flu viruses do not typically infect humans; occasional human infections have occurred. Human infections usually occur after close contact with infected birds (both live and dead) or areas contaminated with a bird flu virus. In recent years, two strains of avian influenza, H5N1 and H7N9 have been reported to cause severe illness in the human cases that were reported. Information about the avian influenza strains can be found below.
H5N1 Key Points:
*The most common clinical syndrome is fever and cough which in some patients progresses rapidly to several viral pneumonia with shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and hypoxia. Frequent complications include respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multi-organ failure, and death.
**Relevant exposures include: direct contact or very close contact with sick or dead poultry known or highly suspected to be infected with HPAI H5N1 virus, or visiting a live poultry market where poultry are known to be infected with HPAI H5N1 virus, or very close contact with a severely ill confirmed H5N1 patient.
H7N9 Key Points:

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- She is telling all. Tanya Mount said she has nothing to hide and does not want social media gossip to derail what she says are the real issues.
"I saw your story on Facebook I was in complete shock of what happened," said Mount as she reads a Facebook post.
Just one of hundreds of comments Tanya Mount said she has received since News 12's interview with her has gone viral on the Internet.
"A lot of people are very disgusted," says Mount. Last week, Mount said she was issued a criminal trespass warning and banned from her disabled daughter's school for posting a picture of her Georgia Weapons Carry License on Facebook.
She has since transferred her daughter to another school.
News 12 received some comments questioning the veteran's past and whether she had a honorable discharge from the military.
She showed us her honorable discharge certification. She also denied social media claims that she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.
"Everything is being taken out of context to elude us from what' really going on," Mount said.
She is also responding to some social media comments about her husband who she says is serving prison time.
"It's not fair because what my husband has done has nothing to do with me," Mount said.
While at first denying our request for an interview, Principal Janine Dallas agreed to talk by phone about why Mount was banned from the school.
"Mount was not following procedures that we have in place for the role of parent volunteers," Dallas said.
She declined to elaborate, and said it was not about the Facebook picture.
"It is not a personal attack on her and it has absolutely nothing to do with her Georgia license," Dallas said.
The principal claims Mount made some unspecific comments of a threatening nature toward a staff member. Dallas said she called the Board of Education Police which issued Mount the trespass warning.
"You can drag me through the mud, say whatever you want about me but do not bring my child into this," Mount said.
We spoke with a Georgia attorney who confirmed he is representing Mount and is pursuing legal action.
Mount's first interview with News 12 which led to her story going viral, remains the most popular story on our website this week.
Below is the press release from McBean Elementary concerning the banning.

A St. Patrick's Day festival will kick off with the March of the Leprechauns Parade at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 14.
Hendersonville's Historic Downtown Shopping District will host the family friendly festival that celebrates Western North Carolina's rich Irish heritage.
The festival also kicks off the spring season and is family friendly.
The parade will follow the traditional downtown parade route.
"Our goal is to have hundreds of leprechauns marching the streets and we invite everyone to participate in the parade," said Lee Henderson-Hill, executive director for Downtown Hendersonville, Inc.
Main Street access will be closed during the parade and vehicular traffic will not be allowed on Main Street and the avenues between Fifth Avenue and Third Avenue all day Saturday during the festival.
There will be musical entertainment with Uncle Hamish and the Hooligans, kid's activities featuring a giant blowup castle and vendors sharing in the Irish spirit.
The vendors for this festival will be located on the sidewalks of historic downtown. Vendors and entertainment will continue until 9 p.m. At 1 p.m., there will be the costume contest for all ages.
"We encourage folks to dress as a leprechaun, as a shamrock, in green or in your best costume to represent the Irish heritage," Henderson-Hill said.
Additional activities will be occurring for the community and merchants. There will be a scavenger hunt for all ages. Entry forms and rules will be at participating downtown businesses along with clues to find the Lucky Shamrock's and a chance to win the "Pot of Gold".
Anyone completing the scavenger hunt correctly earns the opportunity to be in a drawing for the grand prize, $250 in Downtown Dollars good at any business or restaurant downtown. A pub march will also be held for those 21 and older. Merchants are also participating in Irish theme window/door display contest.
Hendersonville's Historic Main Street Shopping District, with its wide sidewalks, planters brimming with flowers, comfortable benches and first-class shopping, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, makes a perfect venue for this new event.
For information about the March of the Leprechauns, contact Lee Henderson-Hill, executive director, at 697-2022.

Paco tours downtown Sebring
To many people, pets are just as important as any other member of their family. Therefore, when their pet is lost, it hits them as if they lost their brother or sister. This past week my close friend Angie lost her dog Paco in Downtown Sebring. Paco is a small, brown and white, yippy Chihuahua who is absolutely adored by his family. When Paco disappeared, his family was distraught. I helped Angie look all over downtown for Paco, but we found no sign of him. We walked around the Circle and its side streets, whistling and yelling at the top of our lungs. We got some strange looks from some people on the street, but we were more concerned about Paco. During our search, we asked people who were grabbing their mail or weeding their gardens if they had seen any sign of the dog, but they all shook their heads and went back to their business. We were extremely disappointed because Angie had received several messages and phone calls of people who had seen Paco, but we couldn't seem to do the same. Angie asked if I knew who the Saint of Lost Things was. When I did not, she proceeded to take out her phone and ask Siri, the voice search on iPhone. Siri replied in a robotic voice, "St. Anthony." Angie jokingly looked up at the sky and yelled, "St. Anthony, help me find the darn dog!"Ironically enough, the next day, Paco was found by a deacon of a nearby church. I couldn't have been happier when I heard that Angie and Paco were reunited. This event made me realize how important pets are to our lives. I thought about how bizarre it would feel to come home to a house without my two cats, Molly and Grayson, and my dog, Styx. There is rarely a moment where one of my three pets isn't by my side. Whether I'm doing homework and Molly walks across my keyboard, watching TV and Grayson is sitting on the arm of the couch, or Styx is under my feet as I have a snack at the kitchen table, it seems they're always there. The presence of pets isn't something that we take notice of often, unfortunately. While I certainly give my animals plenty of love and affection, I take for granted the fact that they're always nearby. It seems a little silly, but as every pet owner can attest, pets truly become some of our best friends. Paco went missing because he jumped out of the window of Angie's dad's truck. We often take Styx with us on car rides because she absolutely loves them. As soon as I grab her leash from where it hangs beside the front door, she runs at me so hard I nearly fall over. Sometimes, before I even go to grab it, she jumps up as if she could sense what I was thinking. Although Styx is a relatively large dog, I wonder why she's never tried to make a window-escape as Paco did. Paco's real-world adventure was a bit of a reality check for me. It's hard to imagine going about my day without my pets running around my feet. Although they get on my nerves from time to time when my dog runs in front of me as I walk through the hallway or when my cats walk across my keyboard as I'm doing homework, they are more important to me than I sometimes realize.

The Performance Project extends the concept of Dance in Schools and Communities (DISC) by introducing students to the art of performing. Through the act of presenting students learn choreographic principals, develop performing skills, and begin to understand the communicative potential of dance movement. Using the body as an instrument of expression, dance students learn problem solving and group skills necessary to creating dance composition.
Select students of the DISC Residency Program are invited to participate in this fun and exciting project allowing them to extend and deepen their experience in dance. Participants are nurtured in a safe and supportive environment by professional artist educators from the CDE's specially trained staff. Following multiple rehearsal sessions, the experience culminates in public performances at participants' schools and at various venues throughout San Francisco. The Performance Project builds self-esteem in participants providing an opportunity for personal discovery, and allows them to share what they have learned with others. This program is free of charge to all students and audiences.

My daughter has a typical bedtime routine that is totally absent of breastfeeding, rocking, lulling, patting, crying (mine, that is), and pleading. Now had you told me this little anecdote almost four years ago, I would have laughed at you.
Or cursed you, depending the on the night.
She was a beast of a sleeper, requiring some type of parental intervention involving an "ing" at way too many times during the night.
But now that we simply brush her teeth, read her a story, and turn off the lights, it's hard to remember how much work we used to put in just to get her to close her tiny little eyes and keep them closed for those precious dark hours. I've since pushed aside the difficult memories of her first year, mainly as a means to protect the little glimmers of sanity I have left.
Tonight she asked me to rub her back and sing her lullabies. She's laid claim to the five or so songs that were in regular rotation in mommy's live and in-person cd player. And so, out of respect for her request, I don't sing those songs to Drew. And since she doesn't need them anymore, I haven't sung them in a very long time.
As I softly scratched out a few notes as she lay quietly on her very big girl pillow in her very big girl bed and the memories flushed through me, I choked up a bit.
It wasn't a new feeling -- to be stifled by my own salty mix of frustrated sobs while singing those songs, standing painfully alone in the dark in a trance of sleeplessness and helplessness. But this time, the tears came with a smile, as I remembered the beauty of our nightly rendevous. Once tarnished by pain and frustration, the truly sweet moments I endured every single night with her for over two years were returned to me fully shined.
Almost brand new.
And for the first time, when I sang those words, my only memory was of that precious baby girl, my best girl, falling slowly to sleep in the crook of my tired left arm, her fuzzy head and compact body heavy as she drifted off into dreamland.
My memory reclaimed. My memory, as it should be.

IIRC, normal user processes are not allowed to call sendrec directly, but
have to use the _syscall function(). This also requires of you to make a
new system call entry in the system call table so that your _syscall()
resolves to something meaningful. However, I don't have any source code at
hand (and the SVN repository browser is down, again), so I can't tell you
exactly where or how to do this, but look it up.

Rupert the Bear and the Disappointing Case of the Record Profits
Not for nothing is Richemont Executive Chairman Johann Rupert known as Rupert the Bear.
Despite the owner of Cartier and Montblanc posting record sales and profit at its jewelry and watch making divisions for its 2011 fiscal year, Mr. Rupert was downbeat speaking to analysts Thursday.
"I am more pessimistic than I should be considering the results," he said, perhaps anticipating the decline in Richemont's share price which fell more than 4% in early trading Thursday.
Investors had taken issue with the company's profit—which despite surging 79% to €1.08 billion—was short of expectations.
Margins in watches and jewelry increased, but not as much as expected as higher sales and distribution costs took their toll.
In the second half Richemont also had to pay for the cleanup of its struggling Baume & Mercier watch brand, which saw watches recalled and destroyed to make way for a re-launch.
On the brighter side, Richemont had a strong start to the year, with sales in April, the first month of its 2012 fiscal year, up 32% on last year.
Still, this failed to pop the champagne corks, with Mr. Rupert retaining his customary caution.
"April had strong sales acceleration, but we are only three weeks into May. We don't know if it's going to continue, but we have no reason to think it's not going to," Mr. Rupert said.
The whole performance could be skewed when the seriously wealthy start shopping.
If three or four big players decided to buy millions of dollars of jewelry, it could make a major difference to the company's performance, he said.
"I was with someone recently who proudly told me he buys $50 million of Cartier every year," Mr. Rupert said.
Talking of big spenders, despite having a cash pile of €2.59 billion Richemont is unlikely to be going on a shopping spree any time soon.
Instead it will be increasing its spending on expanding its network of shops and production capabilities.
"We have been offered a lot of other companies that have been sold, before other people bought them. But our overall preference is to build goodwill and brand equity rather than buy it," Mr. Rupert said.
Richemont was one of the companies linked to Italian luxury house Bulgari, which was bought by French rival LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton for €3.7 billion in March.
Mr. Rupert did not mention whether Bulgari was one of the companies which approached Richemont, but he appeared to rule out big acquisitions.
"Our cash is better deployed in supporting the maisons we know," he said. "And we see faster growth in target areas than in the companies that are available for sale.
Anyway, "the companies you want to buy, you can't," he added.
But did the company have to be so stingy with its dividend?
He bristled when asked if the dividend increase to 0.45 swiss franc from 0.35 swiss franc a year earlier was "a bit light".
The world economy was not yet out of the woods, he said, and it made sense to have cash stashed away just in case.
Anyway, on a personal note, Mr. Rupert, whose family owns around 9.1% of the company, added: "Maybe I've got more shares than you, but I was really glad when the board voted to increase the dividend by 30%."
After that he seemed to cheer up slightly, speaking about the company's prospects and booming sales in China which have seen Hong Kong overtake Paris as Richemont's biggest retail city.
Later in the day, losses in the Richemont stock price were reduced, and by Friday the shares were on the rise again.
Maybe Mr. Rupert should buy a nice watch to celebrate.

@arne : Exactly. 30$ is ridiculous.
Would have paid $10 for it, will not pay $30.
anyone know where they can find the free version?
Still holding on to the free Textpander -- the good old days. Works great!
Love this app. Just what I was looking for. Fantastic.
You'll get the original developer mad if you continue to confuse freeware with donationware. Yet TextExpander 1.4 brings the only feature which could make me update : customizable separators.
shade got it right.
I second Shade's comment.
I don't use TextExpander. I use Textpander, which is the freeware version that this app used to be until it was bought out and received a ridiulous price to celebrate. Woohoo.

Rwanda's rally champion Giancarlo Davite is hoping to extend his title bid for the Africa rally championship when he competes in the 60th KCB Safari Rally slated for between June 8 and 10.
Davite whose Subaru Impreza 'Omelette' suffered gearbox failure in the opening stage of the final day of the Zambia rally last month has not given up on the title and hopes to bounce back on track by staging a good show in Kenya this weekend.
The Davite family said recently that despite trailing ARC leader Mohammed Essa of Zambia with 30 points, they are optimistic on turning the deficit in the KCB Safari Rally.
"We are getting focused and piling up energy. The car is being worked on, and I'm jacking up my Giancarlo who had to digest Zambia deception! But we are more and more motivated and our Safari objectives are clear," said Davite's female co-driver Sylvia Vindevogel.
Davite comes fourth on the ARC standings with 22 points behind Zambia's Essa on 52 points, Zimbabwe's Jess Watson with 25 points and South Africa's Mark Cronje with 25 points respectively.
Christakis Fitidis is another Rwandan who will spice up the Safari Rally.
The Rwandan drivers will contend for the Safari rally title alongside current ARC leader Mohammed Essa, Zimbabwean counterpart Gred Stead, Kenyan top guns Alastair Cavenagh, Ian Duncan and Carl Tundo who is the reigning Safari champion.
A total of 35 entrants have been confirmed for the race which will be flagged off this Friday at the traditional KICC ramp. It will be followed by a spectator stage at Uhuru Park and back to KICC for an overnight stay on June 8.
The rally will end on June 10 with the ceremonial finish programmed to start at 4pm.

If you've been diagnosed with lung cancer, life can suddenly become overwhelming. Go into your doctor's office armed with the top questions for which you need answers.
There are several types of lung cancer. They include non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer and carcinoid lung tumors. Non-small cell lung cancer is further subdivided into adenocarcinoma, squamous cell and large cell. Your doctor will discuss with you the type of lung cancer found. This is important because lung cancer treatment is based on the type and possibly the sub-type of lung cancer you have.
It may seem obvious that lung cancer is located in the lungs, but that's not the only area it can affect. Lung cancer also can spread to the lymph nodes between the lungs, or it can spread to areas outside of the lungs.
The stages of lung cancer are numbered from zero to four. In general, the lower the number, the less the cancer has spread. The stage of your lung cancer will help determine your treatment options.
Lung cancer treatment options often include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination. The side effects of treatment can be different for each person. Side effects can vary based on the type of lung cancer you have and the type of treatment you receive.
There are genetic mutations that can occur in cancer. Certain types of lung cancer, especially adenocarcinoma, should be tested for these mutations, as there are targeted therapies that can be used in treatment. These are usually oral medications.

** ADVANCE FOR MONDAY, DEC. 24 ** Michigan Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land is shown during an interview Dec. 10, 2007, in Lansing, Mich. Land didn't get a lot of changes she'd hoped for this year in voting requirements, campaign finance disclosure and the creation of a new, dual-purpose driver's license. But she's optimistic lawmakers will have more time to spend on her suggestions in 2008. (AP Photo/Al Goldis)
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (AP) -- Terri Lynn Land was the first Michigan Republican to express interest when longtime Democratic Sen. Carl Levin announced his retirement.
Six months later, the former secretary of state remains the lone GOP candidate after congressmen and others declined to run. Pundits once predicted a potential wide-open primary.
She is looking more and more like Republicans' standard-bearer in their attempt to win a U.S. Senate seat for just the second time in 40 years. Democrats have coalesced behind U.S. Rep. Gary Peters.
Land said Saturday she's excited to unite the party and thinks Republicans are realizing Michigan is crucial if the GOP is to win control of the Senate in 2014.
There's a chance Republican cardiologist Rob Steele could get into the race, though Republicans say he's running out of time.

Dixons sales up 8% in UK despite high-street blues
Tablets help PC World owner avoid high-street tech troubles
Dixons has withstood the high street carnage to post an 8% jump in sales in the UK and Ireland over the key Christmas period.
The owner of PC World said it posted a "strong performance" in the 12 weeks to 5 January - unlike fellow high-street tech firms HMV, Jessops and Blockbuster, which have all gone into administration this month, hit by competition from online retailers.
Overall, Dixons Retail's sales were up 7%, with UK sales even higher. The company pinned its the success on its "multi-channel" strategy - mixing online and in-store sales, which saw the Dixons.co.uk website closed last year as part of streamlining efforts.
"Our key multi-channel businesses delivered an encouragingly strong result during the Christmas period, particularly in the UK & Ireland and in Northern Europe," said CEO Sebastian James.
He added that "we continue to benefit from capacity exiting these markets" - possibly referencing the closure of rival Comet, with that store's closing down sale not appearing to have hurt Dixons.
While the growth was good news for Dixons, it doesn't mean PC sales are on the rebound, with much of the success due to other products.
"Tablet sales were phenomenal across our markets, which was good to see but which impacted overall headline margins somewhat," James said, noting margins fell 0.5%. "White goods were also strong, particularly in the UK."
