Richard Childress Racing
Recent News
How Gaughan Went From Big-Time Hoops to the Race Track
September 7, 2013
Author: Bryce Miller
Date: Sept. 5, 2013
All those Georgetown basketball practices, all the hours trying to contain elusive and electric guard Allen Iverson, all the elbows delivered from man-trees Jerome Williams and Jahidi White — every ache and bruise felt worth it on Nov. 16, 1995.
The fifth-ranked Hoyas' 49-point dismantling of Colgate during the Preseason NIT steamed along as Brendan Gaughan made his move.
The deep reserve dribbled, stepped back, rose up from the free-throw line extended and launched a shot over eventual 13-year NBA player Adonal Foyle.
With his eyes closed.
"That was my one basket," Gaughan said. "It was a nationally televised game, (announcer) Billy Packer was all fired up about it. Then I backpedaled, stole a pass and threw an alley-oop to my guy, but he didn't jump.
"So I got the turnover. Fame is fleeting, I guess."
Gaughan, who will punch the accelerator at 1 p.m. Sunday to start the Camping World Truck Series 200 at Iowa Speedway, is one of the most eclectic drivers across all of NASCAR.
In addition to scrambling around the court to guard Iverson, Gaughan kicked for Georgetown's football team and still owns the program's single-season record for extra-point percentage (39-of-40, 1994). He's part owner of the slot machines tourists see and hear when they arrive in Las Vegas at McCarran International Airport.
Gaughan, a certified divemaster, has been interviewed while sharing underwater space with sharks at the Newport Aquarium, just across the Kentucky border from Cincinnatti. Along the way, Gaughan has raced in NASCAR's top tier of Sprint Cup — with four Top 10 finishes — and the Nationwide Series before settling into a trucks.
The ever-present smile of the gregarious Gaughan seemingly grows larger every day.
"This is the happiest I've been in a decade," he said.
Gaughan has the most Top 5 finishes in the series this season (6) and sits eighth in the standings, 88 points behind leader Matt Crafton.
"I don't plan on racing anywhere in my life again other than Richard Childress Racing," he said. "I want to stay there as long as he will have me, as long as I prove my worth — and want to do it in whatever series he wants me in.
"The equipment is beyond great. Every week I get to the racetrack, I don't have to worry about any single, solitary thing, whether it is or isn't good enough. I know I've got the best engines in the series, I've got the best engineering in the series, some of the best aero packages in the series."
Gaughan built up layers of toughness and determination outside of a car, though.
While playing for Georgetown, Gaughan was tested by talented players who led the team to Big East titles and an Elite Eight run in the NCAA tournament.
"My job was to guard Allen (Iverson) in practice. My job was to watch game tapes of Allen and make him better," he said. "I had a good time. I liked the challenge. It was fun.
"I did whatever coach (John) Thompson wanted. If coach Thompson asked me to box out Jerome Williams, as soon as the ball went up, I boxed out Jerome. When Jerome was the leading rebounder in the Big East, I at least felt like, you know what, 'Maybe I did something to make him a little bit better' just by being a nuisance in his way.
"I'm honored to say I'm a Hoya. "
That time in the Washington D.C. area also included being a Hoya kicker in the Football Championships Subdivision, formerly called Division I-AA.
Gaughan said he still has plenty of leg, even at age 38.
"About 15-17 months ago, I outkicked a guy under an NFL contract," he said. "I'm not going to say who it was or where they play, but I hit a 65-yarder."
These days, Gaughan's foot is kept busiest by the gas and brake pedals of the truck sponsored by family-owned South Point Casino.
When the engine cools, though, he has a few basketball stories to share after his career that included a basket and three free throws.
"I like to say, 'I got five points in NCAA history,' " Gaughan said. "You know what, it's only five — but it's five more than most people've got."
NASCAR Truck Series driver Brendan Gaughan is the grandson of Jackie Gaughan, a Las Vegas casino pioneer.
The eldest Gaughan, who has owned numerous gambling joints during his lifetime, still comes down from his residence at the El Cortez in downtown Las Vegas to play poker every afternoon.
"It's fun to see people react to my grandfather," Brendan Gaughan said. "He still plays cards every day at the El Cortez at 92 years old. He's the last. There's nobody left, except him. He's the last of the famous ones who helped build the town. It's almost the end of an era."
The family's Vegas-inspired gambling connections extend beyond Jackie Gaughan, too.
Brendan's father, Michael, secured the deal for slot machines at McCarran International Airport in the 1980s. A year and a half ago, Brendan said, one machine he and his family operate hit a $5 million payout.
The family operates mostly independently now with the flagship South Point Casino in Las Vegas and a pair of others in Mesquite, Nev.

After Unknown Mortal Orchestra released its self-titled 2011 debut, the band kicked off a brutal stretch of touring that pushed frontman Ruban Nielson to the edge of physical and emotional breakdown.
"I was thinking really dramatic things like, 'If it kills me then that's the way it's supposed to go and it's how I 'm going to be a real artist,'" said Nielson, 33, in a recent phone interview. "Then I started to think that a lot of my favorite artists didn't die after one year of touring … [and] if I keep doing this it's not going to end well for me."
These road-driven feelings of exhaustion, detachment and isolation bleed over into the crew's psych-rock leaning sophomore album, II, Nielson singing: "I'm so tired but I can never lay down my head"; "I'm in a strange state of mind"; "I wish I could swim and sleep like a shark does."
Part of the struggle, Nielson said, was learning how to say no — not just to booking agents and media requests, but to fans and hanger-ons who hoped to turn every tour stop into an after-hours rager.
"Boundaries are a big part of being in a touring band," he said. "And I had to change a lot of things on that side because … I wanted to keep making music."
Oddly enough, there was a time not too long ago when the New Zealand native, who previously played alongside his brother Kody in riotous punks The Mint Chicks, appeared ready to give up music altogether. After that band played its final show in March 2010, Nielson, tired of the endless sparring, decided to take up a career in visual art, saying, "I thought music was poisonous for me and I could do something else creative."
The earliest UMO recordings actually started as a way for the musician to while away the time, and he initially envisioned the project existing solely as a hobby — a plan that changed dramatically after the first tracks he posted online anonymously quickly found a large audience. Nowadays things are going so well ("Everybody [in the band] is getting along and we have a lot more fun," he said), Nielson has already started sketching out plans for a third full-length he envisions will be far more upbeat than past efforts.
"I want to make music that makes people feel good and gives them a break from stressful things that happen in their lives," he said. "II was quite heavy in a way, and I think I'd like the next record to be a bit more uplifting."

Re: 48 CONFISCATED
My GUESS ... is that Chad knows his teams ( pit and shop) so well that perhaps he's leaving them "unattended" or "assuming" they will do the right thing. I've made that same mistake myself - and paid for it. Lesson learned - be more diligent.
But some of the stuff on here ( welcome different opinions - not wrong - LOL ) is a little over the edge. The article provides zero proof that Chad himself went in there and installed some parts. Please. The thought of Chad signing off on illegal parts, or an OK with a wink just doesn't seem to make common, logical sense. One can think it, believe it ( that Chad would do it )... but it doesn't make it a fact.
I also remember the window fiasco... and Chad's fingerprints were not on it, the gloves didn't fit... but he took the fall, as the accountable person. Same for Gordon's "T-Rex" ... but not as harshly... mainly because it passed PRE-inspection and people were not doing their inspection jobs and it slid thru.
I don't particularly care for Chad... but I don't like to see a guy railroaded either. As Schmoopy mentioned... car crew chiefs, have been stretching the line, interpreting rules, and looking for and edge for as long as the sport has existed. It's practically expected of them. Check the history. Nothing new here.
And for the record, in case there is anybody alive who doesn't know this... Jimmy and Tony are very good friends. Tony has been happy for JJ's wins... and JJ has been extremely gracious in his handing over the title. So I'm not buying any of the "Chad and Jimmie just can't stand that Tony won" stuff.
Sh*t happens... but don't worry, it usually happens to me.

Although the CPSC is an independent agency, these principles are being adopted in the spirit of 2009 presidential memorandum on scientific integrity, which calls for "ensuring the highest level of integrity in all aspects of the executive branch's involvement with scientific and technological processes." and the "Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies, Subject: Scientific Integrity," from John P. Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology and Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, December 17, 2010.
Scientific and technical work constitute the foundation upon which staff of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC, Commission) executes the agency's mission to protect the public against unreasonable risks of injury associated with the use of consumer products. CPSC aims to conduct this work with an integrity that is beyond reproach because policy makers rely upon this work to make important decisions and because the public places its trust in the work of the Commission.
Within the CPSC, the activities of the Hazard Identification and Analysis (HIA) and Hazard Assessment and Reduction (HAR) programs consist primarily of scientific and technical work that involves: (1) the collection and analysis of consumer product-related injury and fatality data to identify hazards and hazard patterns; (2) scientific and technical research for use in developing mandatory safety standards and in preparing proposals to submit to standards development organizations (SDOs); (3) evaluations of petitions and other requests from the public; (4) identification of emerging product hazards; and (5) technical evaluations of products to support compliance and enforcement activities.
It is imperative that CPSC management and employees recognize and embrace principles of scientific integrity so that the scientific and technical work of the agency embodies the highest standards of quality and integrity, as recognized by the scientific and technical communities. This document represents a general policy of the Commission and outlines the principles that the Commission believes are essential to supporting the quality and integrity of the scientific and technical work conducted by CPSC staff.
The following principles are intended to serve as a structure to support the quality and integrity of CPSC staff's scientific and technical work:
The principles set forth above are intended to: (1) support the quality and scientific integrity of the scientific and technical work of CPSC staff; (2) provide policymakers with data-driven and evidence-based findings and recommendations for consideration in decision making; and (3) maintain the public's trust in the credibility of the scientific and technical work of the CPSC. The Commission adopts these principles, believing that their implementation and practice uphold and strengthen the quality and integrity of CPSC staff's scientific and technical work.
CPSC adheres to these principles and policies in its scientific and technical work.

Antibiotic Resistance and Overuse
By Health Day
S. Check out the results of a new CDC study.
We've all heard about antibiotic resistance, where strains of bacteria become resistant to the drugs we use to fight them off. One major cause is overuse of antibiotics. In fact, experts now estimate that 50% of antibiotic prescriptions may be unnecessary.
As a major public health concern, researchers wanted to know where the most prescriptions are being written.
Using information from a large national database, the team tracked oral antibiotic use throughout the U.S. in 2010.
Overall, a whopping 258 million antibiotic prescriptions were written that year. That's an average of 8-hundred-33 prescriptions per 1000 Americans.
Rates were highest in the Southeast...with 936 prescriptions written per 1000 people. The states prescribing the fewest antibiotics (on average, 639 prescriptions per 1000 people) were out West.
The most frequently prescribed antibiotic was azithromycin...known to most as a "Z pack."

Man arrested on drug charges, dad turns him inThe Associated Press | March 26,2013ST. JOHNSBURY — A Vermont man is facing marijuana charges after his father turned him in to police, saying his son was growing it in some bedroom closets.
Twenty-year-old Nicholas Hough of St. Johnsbury pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of marijuana cultivation and a misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession Monday.
Police said Hough's father, Clifton Hough, went to the state police in February and said he suspected his son had set up marijuana growing operations in both of his bedroom closets at their home.
The Caledonian-Record reports (http://bit.ly/YC1DDP) the 51-year-old Hough told police he wanted to put a "scare" into his son and no longer wanted illegal activity in his home.
Police executed a search warrant several days later and found four suspected marijuana plants, and drug paraphernalia.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER — FairPoint Communications is being purchased by Illinois-based... Full Story

In my opinion. When Dale Earnhardt died many years ago. I think the "air was let out" of Nascar. His fan base was so big and so powerful and so dedicated to Dale. He was Nascar period!
The much older Nascar fan base miss the gutted stock cars that were truly stock! Every year the major car manufacturers would come out with their new models and some would end up on a Nascar track. Basically gutted for safety purposes. And boy, could you stretch the "gray area" of the Nascar rules(sort of cheating) and get away with it!
Now a days. We are basically seeing the Nascar(IROC) car series! All cars are fabricated to look like current productions cars but are in no way similar. All manufacturers have an engine program as well.
The big separation in 2012 race teams is knowledge and experience and most of all.....money. But, experience gives way to so many changes by Nascar. So, then who ever learns to apply this newer technology should be faster on race day? That doesn't always apply either does it.
You have to be able to beat the best in order to take their place. That would be Team #48. The only problem there is.....they aren't going to give away any secrets! So, then how do you defeat your competition? That's right, knowledge gained by trial and error and thinking outside the Nascar box. But with so many race tracks going through so many changes in surface plus Nascar and all their constant changes....I can see what a struggle it is for most race teams! So, in knowing that. You would need almost a "real time" knowledge base of information...that doesn't exist!

Hi everyone,
I have an OALD. I did have OS issues but they seem to be sorting themselves out.
What my problem is that my OALD causes ds to gulp down his meal. He only takes 6-10 minutes to eat and always has. This is causing him to suffer very badly from gas.
Over the last two weeks he has been waking up every 45mins-2hours all night long, which means he is exhausted all day and very unhappy. He has also started squirming and fussing during most feedings.
I am just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to make nursing better for him, and to help him have a better night sleep.
I have been advised to pump a couple of ounces before each feeding. But I am concerned that this will stir up my OS issues again.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

Are There Any Safety Concerns for Using Reiki?
Reiki has not been found to have any adverse effects.
Because there is nothing about a Reiki session that can interfere with conventional medical care, Reiki has no known contraindications and can be used concurrently with any medical intervention.
The touch of Reiki is very light on or even off the body. The recipient is not required to ingest any substances, so there are no concerns about mixing substances (such as herbs) and prescription medications.
Reiki will not override the action of medical interventions, but rather support the patient while he or she goes through them, restoring balance in body, mind, and spirit to the degree possible. Patients who feel well even when fighting chronic illness are more likely to complete their medical treatment and be active partners in their health care.
Because the activation of Reiki pulsations in the practitioner's hands adjusts to the changing need of the recipient, and stops when appropriate, you can't get too much Reiki, no matter how long the practitioner's hands are in place.
All that said, remember that it is up to you to be responsible for your own medical care and seek appropriate help. Do not go to your Reiki practitioner for a diagnosis (unless he or she is also your healthcare provider) and do not avoid recommended medical tests or treatment. In an emergency, call 911. If you are Reiki-trained, you can safely offer Reiki by placing your hand anywhere on the victim (even if you're the victim) while awaiting the medics or en route to the hospital.
Can Reiki intensify symptoms?
Occasionally people experience a temporary aggravation or intensification of symptoms during or after a Reiki session. This may be as simple as a momentary feeling of discomfort at the site of an old injury or surgical scar. Such an experience resolves quickly and may be part of the body's process of healing.
A temporary aggravation of symptoms sometimes occurs when people suffering from chronic conditions elect to receive multiple (and perhaps longer than usual) Reiki sessions in quick succession.
In this scenario, the person initially feels better-a general improvement in wellbeing and/or relief from specific symptoms-followed by a transient period in which the recipient either feels very tired and/or the symptoms return. Traditionally, this is seen as a positive response that indicates that the body's healing mechanisms have been stimulated and the body is actively engaged in a healing process. A hallmark of this process is that the client is not anxious about the return of symptoms, but intuits that this is simply the body doing what it needs to do.
Continuing Reiki through this period brings comfort, reduces symptoms, and speeds the return of wellbeing. However, if there is any doubt, it is important to seek out whatever medical advice or health care is deemed appropriate. A physician or nurse practitioner, for example, may be able to offer guidelines, advising that the situation does not need medical treatment as long as it resolves within a certain period of time.

Enouph Phriggin' Phun with the Phillies "Ph"
Believe me, Philly Phans, I pheel ya. As a Cardinals phan and White Sox supporter, I know phirst-hand what exuberance and exaltation comes with celebrating a World Series championship. Indeed, it's so ecstatically mind-blowing that one can easily phathom losing all sense of grammatic aptitude and phonetic inpherence.
I'm just sayin'… enouph is enouph.
Because, yeah, we get it.
We understand that the Philly "Ph" is phun to insert into newspaper headlines and crawler teasers phrom the major news organizations. We understand that, phor Philly phans who have had nothing to cheer phor during the last twenty some odd years, that this is a big phriggin' deal and you want to make some noise. We understand that up until that last out was recorded, yours was as phormidable a task as you could possibly phathom and that phear of being unable to phinish would always be phound in the back of your mind.
We understand.
We're just tired of it.
Jump up and down. Knock a few back. Celebrate to your hearts' content.
Just cool it with the dumb bastardization of the English language, please.
And make sure you get all the partying in before Tuesday, November 4th; because on that day my city, my home, my people will be the center of the world.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

I hate the PH thing to. I was happily surprised the head line writer for the Boston Herald didn't do it the other day.
Word is that Boras is shopping Jason Varitek to the Tigers to replace Pudge.
Red Sox Ramblings: http://thevendahhh.mlblogs.com
Varitek to the Tigers? Interesting possibility. But can anyone believe anything Boras says? As for the "ph" business, I'm officially done. No more phooling around.
Response from Philly? ***** you! 8)

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Hinata look some kind of Orochimaru.. :D:D
Arguing over who is next to him, closer and stuff like that?
Jesus, this is really silly.
They're on the same position as last chapters, of course she's closer...
NaruHina ftw, wish that her hand was down and that she had shown a little more confidence standing next to Naruto though

Kishi NEVER said that. He said he wanted to make Sakura more of a Heroin because the fans said she wasn't.
naruto will get
hit in his junk in the war making him unable to do the deed,so he'll be forever alone,spend his time training toward reaching greatness
This thread is silly. You base a major plot thread on who stands near who? Sakura is in the back near Kakashi, because she just finished healing him. Are you suggesting Sakura-Kakashi pairing then, or should she have aborted her healing of Kakashi to stand near Naruto for a photo op?

I put this one together recently and am very fond of how it looks, in either resto or boomkin spec.
I generally use the Challenge mode sets, but before then these were my go-to transmogs, I have many different weapons that i swap in and out as well that match the sets. They are very piece-meal sets that I think look really good

Next-Generation iPhone Photos Leak; Shows Longer Screen, Metal Backplates

Next-generation iPhone backplates
(Source: 9 to 5 Mac)
Next-generation iPhone frame
(Source: 9 to 5 Mac)
Next-generation iPhone front glass
(Source: 9 to 5 Mac)
The next generation iPhone is expected to make an appearance in the fall along with iOS 6
New photos of the
next-generation iPhone
have hit the web, and it looks like Apple fans have plenty of new changes to look forward to when it arrives.
Earlier today,
9 to 5 Mac
got its hands on the backplates and frames of the upcoming next-generation iPhone. From the images posted, it seems Apple is making some external and internal changes.
As with the iPhone 4 and 4S, the next-generation iPhone will be available in black and white. Both the black and white versions have backplates that are made of metal, with the plastic trim at the top and bottom. The metal antenna is molded into these metal backplates, likely as a way of making a unibody enclosure for stronger, yet thinner and lighter gadgets.
The new backplates and frames also show that the next-generation iPhone will be the same width, but it will be longer. The screen will reportedly be longer with a size of 3.999 inches diagonally and will have a resolution of 1136 x 640.
Other notable changes that are apparent from the backplates and frames are a smaller dock connector, redesigned speaker grills, a new opening between the camera lens and the LED flash (which is where a second microphone may be placed for better audio when recording video), the earphone jack has been relocated to the bottom corner of the iPhone, and the front camera lens has become centered above the earpiece.
It also appears that Apple will not feature edge-to-edge technology in this version of the iPhone, but the possibility of Micro-SIM technology (or maybe even no SIMs at all) is pretty strong. LTE and a better processor are a few other add-ons that are expected in the next-generation iPhone.
The next generation iPhone is expected to make an appearance in the fall along with iOS 6.
In addition to next-gen iPhone spec leaks, it was also rumored last week that Apple will release
a Mini iPad
later this year. The Mini version of Apple's famous tablet is rumored to be 7-inches.
Speaking of Apple prototypes, an
original iPad with two dock connectors
sold on eBay for $10,200 yesterday. Apple never formally released an iPad with two dock connectors, where one was designed for portrait and the other for landscape, but that rare gadget made its way onto eBay for an expensive Memorial Day bidding war.

How to Cook Pot Roast in a Crock Pot
Grandma slaved all day over the stove to serve her family a pot roast this tender and flavorful. Lucky for busy cooks today, we know how to cook pot roast in a crock pot and get a similar result with a lot less fuss and bother. Slow cooking tenderizes the beef and makes inexpensive cuts of meat, like chuck roast, taste as good as pricier cuts. And what's better than loading up the crock pot in the morning and coming home at night to the aromas of beef, carrots, onions and mushrooms--a whole meal ready for you when you step through the door because your slow cooker did all the work for you. In ten minutes or less you can prepare the ingredients and place everything in the crock pot. No browning of the meat is necessary in this recipe, which makes it a true "fix it and forget it" kind of meal.
Hey, everyone. I'm Judith with recipe.com and today I'm gonna be showing you how to make a Slow Cooker Savory Roast, a great meal to have for a weekend with the family. So what you're gonna need for this is a 3-1/2-pound boneless bottom round roast. We have one can of cream of mushroom soup. We have six red potatoes which we've cut in half. We have an envelope of dry onion soup, and we have six medium carrots which we've cut into 2-inch pieces, so we're gonna add in our cream of mushroom soup here, like so, and we're basically gonna mix in all of our other ingredients. We'll put in our dry onion mix which is gonna give a really nice flavor, and then in goes the vegetables, so we've given our potatoes a good scrub so they're nice and clean but we've left the skins on 'cause I like them like that and we're just gonna pop them in there and all this is gonna...mix in, so I've put in our carrots there which we've washed and cut into 2-inch pieces. If you wanna peel them, that's great, too. We're just gonna give that all a good mix, so the cream of mushroom soup gets all over our veggies, and all that onion mix mixes in, too. Ooh, and that onion smells good. Okay. Now, we have our meat. Now, this is a very tough, muscly piece of meat so it needs to be slow cooked to tenderize, so we are just gonna put that on top of our vegetable mix, like so. Let's nestle it down there in the middle. And then all you need to do is put it on. We're gonna either put it on low and you can cook it for 8 or 9 hours, or you can put it on high and we can cook it for around 4 to 5 hours, so I'm gonna cook it on high this time. Put it on high there. And then you can go do your thing and come back in about 4 or 5 hours. Well, it's been about 4-1/2 hours and our pot roast is done. Look at that. Really beautiful, flavorful. We'll just check it with our fork and, wow, that's super tender and ready to eat, so you can serve that with those gorgeous tender potatoes and vegetables in there and if you want, you can steam a bit of broccoli, get some biscuits, serve it with that, and that is one delicious meal, so that's how you make a Slow Cooker Savory Pot Roast. Well, thanks for watching everyone. For more great recipes and savings, go to recipe.com.
What You'll Need
- 1 10 3/4 ounce can Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)
- 1 1 ounce envelope dry onion soup and recipe mix
- 6 small red potatoes, cut in half
- 6 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
- 1 boneless beef bottom round roast or chuck pot roast (3 to 3 1/2 pounds)
Step By Step
Stir the mushroom soup, soup mix, potatoes and carrots in a 4 1/2-quart slow cooker. Add the beef and turn to coat.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours* or until the beef is fork-tender.
*Or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.
Serving Suggestion: Serve with buttermilk biscuits and steamed broccoli spears. For dessert serve turtle or blonde brownies.
Hint: If you want thicker gravy, you can mix 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth. Remove the beef and vegetables from the cooker and stir the flour mixture into the cooker. Cover and cook on high for 10 minutes or until the mixture boils and thickens.
Even children can learn how to cook pot roast in a crock pot with this easy recipe. Imagine how proud they would be to take credit for this a hearty, filling and delicious pot roast dinner. For younger children, have an adult cut the vegetables into serving sizes, then let them add the ingredients to the slow cooker.

The Ouachita Sheriff's Office in Louisiana, who is handing the investigation, says that Matthew Edward Alexander, 29, also was arrested on charges of arson and aggravated arson.
The sheriff's office, in a news release, says that this stems from an arson investigation involving a western Ouachita Parish location.
According to KNOE in Monroe, La., Alexander was set to begin his second year of law school at St. Mary's University.
According to area news reports, Alexander was arrested without incident outside a classroom and booked into the Bexar County Jail.
Alexander is expected to be transferred back to Louisiana to face charges.

I like chunky peanut butter best in this for a little extra crunch. And if you're a mom or dad who's making breakfast for kids it would be easy to turn this into peanut butter and jelly oatmeal, which would still be a really nutritious breakfast for a school-day morning.
Quick and Easy Peanut Butter Oatmeal
(Makes 2 servings; recipe can be cut in half or increased as desired. This recipe created and generously shared by my friend Alanna.)
2/3 to 1 cup oatmeal (see note below about types of oatmeal; I always use Bob's Red Mill Extra Thick Rolled Oats for this. Be sure you the oats you use are certified Gluten-Free if needed; some oats are not gluten-free.)
1 3/4 cup water (or slightly more if you prefer a thinner oatmeal)
about 1/4 tsp. salt (or to taste, but do not leave out the salt)
3-4 T peanut butter (for South Beach Diet be sure to get peanut butter without added sugar, check the label. I like Adams 100% Natural Peanut butter, and always use chunky peanut butter.)
(Some people like this with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, but I never use that)
Remove oatmeal and add peanut butter, letting it melt for a minute or so and then stirring into the oatmeal. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon if desired. Serve hot.
There are three types of oatmeal: instant oatmeal, quick oatmeal, and regular oatmeal (also called rolled oats). Since less processed foods are lower on the glycemic index, regular oatmeal is best for South Beach. I always use Bob's Red Mill Extra Thick Rolled Oats for this. (Sarah from Cucina Bella reminded me about steel cut oats, which are even more nutritious but not suitable for microwave cooking like this! Here's some information about all the types of oats from Cook's Thesaurus.)
I knew some of you who scramble to even find a couple of minutes in the morning would want to know this, so I tried it, and yes you can make this, refrigerate overnight, and then heat the next day. Add a bit of water and microwave for about 1 minute to reheat. However, you're only saving minutes, and it's much better freshly made.
South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Egg Muffins for a Grab-and-Go Breakfast are my all-time favorite quick breakfast for any phase of South Beach. This oatmeal with peanut butter is approved for phase two or three of the diet, and you shouldn't have nuts for a snack on the same day you have this for breakfast.

Stuff that caught my eye at the Irvine Bugorama this past weekend
I've posted about In and Out coming to events before http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/10/in-and-out-burger-mobile-restaurant-was.html
But didn't find out that they charge 7.50 a burger with these mobile jobbers... I want you to know that a doubel cheeseburger and a coke are less than 5 bucks at the restaurant. It's a damn good deal.
Didn't know what this was, but Steve came through again! It's a Mexican-built Volkswagen "Hormiga" (means ant). They are known in Germany as the EA489 Basistransporter. Between 1976 and 1977, 3,600 of them were built in Puebla, Mexico. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_EA489_Basistransporter has more info, and in the Philipines it is called a Trakbayan
Nice clever way of mounting the portable Coleman stove
Lots of vintage coolers in the swap meet area
Above is a very early bug deflector, below is a tag I've never seen before... don't know what it's about. Maybe a customizer? Or a dealership?
Lots of matched luggage sets
Interesting and cool top
When the new Beetle was first sold about 6 years ago, it was instantly the best way to advertise your company... because everyone looked at it. I never see those advertising Beetles anymore
Above is the electric motor that the many batteries up front were connected to

P0140 CADILLAC - O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected Bank 1 Sensor 2
- Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 harness is open or shorted
- Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 circuit poor electrical connection
- Inappropriate fuel pressure
- Faulty fuel injectors
- Intake air leaks may be faulty
- Exhaust gas leaks
- High Fuel Consumption
- Excessive Smoke from Exhaust
The heated oxygen sensor 2 (HO2S), after three way catalyst (manifold), monitors the oxygen level in the exhaust gas on each bank. For optimum catalyst operation, the air fuel mixture (air-fuel ratio) must be maintained near the ideal stoichiometric ratio. The HO2S output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of the stoichiometric ratio. The Engine Control Module (ECM) adjusts the fuel injection time so that the air-fuel ratio is nearly stoichiometric. The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.1 and 0.9 V in response to oxygen in the exhaust gas. If the oxygen in the exhaust gas increases, the air-fuel ratio becomes Lean. The ECM interprets Lean when the HO2S voltage is below 0.45 V. If the oxygen in the exhaust gas decreases, the air-fuel ratio becomes Rich. The ECM interprets Rich when the HO2S voltage is above 0.45 V.

How to Make Sloppy Joes
From hamburgers to meatloaf, casseroles to meatballs, ground beef has long been a staple of American home cooking, in large part because it's more affordable than other types and cuts of meat. So it's no wonder that somewhere along the line, someone invented sloppy joes -- deliciously messy sandwiches made with ground beef in a tomato-based sauce that can range from mild to spicy -- as a means of stretching the amount of beef they had on hand to feed a few more. This recipe outlines the basics for how to make sloppy joes, as well as three variations.
-Hey everyone, Judith here. Well, if you're feeling indulgent and you're really craving something good. This is what you need to make, Sloppy Joe, that's right. So, what you'll need for this is 1-1/2 pounds of lean of ground beef; 1 can or 8 ounces of tomato sauce; 1/3 cup of ketchup; 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar; 1 tablespoon of Worcester sauce; 2 teaspoons of sugar; and 6 hamburger buns. So fantastic great recipe for when your friends come over, you wanna make something quick, really, really good. So, in a large skillet here, we've got it to a medium high heat. We've sprayed with a little bit of cooking spray that's getting nice and hot and what we wanna do is put a ground beef into our skillet right here. So and this goes and we wanna brown our ground beef. It will probably take about 8 minutes or so. Make sure you stir it occasionally, break it up with your spatula, so we're gonna get that nice and brown. So, our ground beef has browned nicely. So, now, it's time to add in the rest of our ingredients, so in goes our tomato sauce and our ketchup right here and the great thing about making Sloppy Joes is that actually you can have any variation you like. If you want kind of an Asian twist, you can put soy sauce in there. If you want an Italian twist, you can put basil in there. I'm just putting the Worcester sauce in there and I like this version because I have a little bit of a sweet tooth and with the sugar, it just sweetens it all up so nicely, taste just wonderful and coming from England, I'd never had Sloppy Joes before and then I made them once, and it was like experimenting and I thought wow and then goes the white wine vinegar as well. So, the ingredients are in there, give it a good stir, and we're gonna put that to a medium low heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Right, well our ground beef mixture is just about done. It's been simmering there for 10 minutes. So, let's take off the heat. Now, I've just transferred these hamburger buns into a nice big platter and all we have to do now simply serve them up. So, I'll just get a little spoonful of this. Into the hamburger bun it goes and if you wanted, you can even sprinkle some nice cheddar cheese on there. Oh, very, very good, look at that, amazing, wow and we're gonna fill in these with the rest of the hamburger buns. So, there you go, in goes, the remainder of our Sloppy Joes, top on that, and your friends are gonna love you when they come over and serve them that. Well, there you go everyone, very quick and simple. I love you Joe for creating this. That's how you make a sloppy Joes.
What You'll Need
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 8 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 6 hamburger buns
Step By Step
Coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Crumble in the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and sugar. Simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
To serve, spoon about 1/2 cup of the mixture on each hamburger bun. Serve with pickles and cole slaw, if desired.
Add 2 cloves chopped garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger and substitute 2 tablespoons light soy sauce for Worcestershire. Serve over white rice or on hamburger buns.
Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano and 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning. Stir in marinara sauce instead of ketchup. Substitute prebaked pizza crust for hamburger buns and garnish with shredded mozzarella.
Add 1 tablespoon chili powder and substitute prepared salsa for the ketchup. Serve in taco shells.
Some people insist that sloppy joes were first concocted by a specific person named Joe, who served loose-meat sandwiches from a diner in Sioux City, Iowa; others hold that the name refers to "average Joe," considering the popularity of ground beef dishes among middle- and working-class folks. And a small but passionate faction claims the sandwich came to the United States from Havana, Cuba, via a bar in Miami called "Sloppy Joe's."
There's little debate, however, regarding the "sloppy" part of the moniker -- the sandwiches are very messy to eat.

Late last week, in a heartening display of bicameral and bipartisan harmony, Congress passed a bill [2] reauthorizing the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and taking steps to steer it toward solvency. Among those steps is ensuring that climate impact projections are factored into future calculations of flood risk.
As we explain in a recent policy brief [3], the program, which provides federally-backed flood insurance for homes along America's rivers and coasts, is chronically in debt to the U.S. Treasury because premiums are often too low to cover the actual risk. This gap between revenue and risk may grow as development continues in zones very likely to become more flood-prone as a result of climate change.
The legislation, passed as part of the transportation bill, reauthorizes the NFIP for five years, ending a series of short-term extensions that had kept the program on life support for the past several years. And while the bill does not fix all of NFIP's problems, it represents a major step towards actuarial pricing and full accounting of climate risk.
As I wrote [4] last week, long-standing subsidies and loopholes have suppressed premiums below what the actual flood risk would require, effectively subsidizing insurance in flood zones. The bill improves the fiscal outlook by barring second homes and commercial homes from receiving subsidized rates. In addition, it raises the cap on annual premium increases from 10 percent to 20 percent, allowing FEMA greater flexibility to adjust rates as flood risk changes over time, and to narrow the gap between premium rates and risk levels for some properties. The reforms stop short of removing all subsidies, however, as grandfathered properties will get to keep their underpriced premiums.
Another problem is that FEMA hasn't been able to update its flood maps to accurately reflect changes in risk. The bill authorizes a new effort to bring the maps up to date. And although the word "climate" does not appear in the text, the bill directs FEMA to use "the best available science regarding future changes in sea levels, precipitation, and intensity of hurricanes" as it updates the maps and sets its insurance premiums.
As climate change continues to increase the risk of widespread flooding, innovative new strategies will be required to maintain a balance between actuarial soundness (i.e. full-risk pricing) and affordability. Fortunately, Congress appears to understand this need. The bill calls for a series of studies to investigate a variety of cost-saving and risk-reducing measures. It directs FEMA to investigate whether property owners can be encouraged to take steps to reduce their risk if offered discounted premiums in exchange. In addition, Congress authorized a study on the feasibility of shifting some risk from the NFIP to global capital markets through reinsurance purchases.
Enforcing stronger building codes and transferring some of the remaining risk to a private market (i.e. reinsurance) would help complete what this bill has now begun – a long-term overhaul that returns the NFIP to solvency while preparing for rising flood risk in the future.

text: Does anyone know how much breastmilk a baby needs per day in ounces? I'm concerned the daycare may be overfeeding my DS. He's three and a half months old and according to the daycare has increased his intake. Yesterday they fed him 33 ounces plus he'd nursed his fill not more than an hour before I left him in the morning and then when I got there to pick him up he started rooting around to nurse and he'd just finished a bottle about fifteen minutes before I got there. He was a big baby when he was born...10 pounds 6 ounces....and now he's almost 15 pounds. The daycare was feeding him every two hours and sometimes sooner as he seemed to need. If anyone knows where I can find the info that would be great too.

I've used it twice and it's already paid for itself. Loading my kayak is no longer a 2-person operation. I have it up and loaded in MINUTES, and on the road. Great for anyone with health issues, a heavy kayak, a high roof, or limited time to fuss with strapping down a boat. One CON: the instructions are not the best. I ended up going on Youtube for clarification. Oh, and don't forget that you need an additional Thule load rack, as the factory installed roofrack won't work. Lastly, AutoAnything had the best prices around for this! Better than eBay! And they shipped fast.
