What's on the Menu at the Vatican? Kosher Fare
Pope Francis treated a Jewish delegation from his native Argentina to a private lunch catered by one of Rome's top kosher restaurants.
On Thursday, proprietors of the restaurant Ba' Ghetto brought Roman Jewish specialties to the Vatican, where the pope hosted the group of rabbis and Jewish leaders at the Santa Marta guesthouse, his residence. A photograph showed the group seated at a round table covered with a white tablecloth. The menu included Jewish-style fried artichokes, anchovies and endive, sauteed zucchini and other foods.
Amit Dabush, a proprietor of Ba' Ghetto, which sits in the heart of the city's old Jewish ghetto, told ADNKronos that the pope tasted everything they brought.
"He told me that he really liked our pistachio mousse," Dabush was quoted as saying.
The Argentine delegation, headed by the pope's longtime friend Rabbi Abraham Skorka, the rector of the Latin American Rabbinical Seminary, was at the Vatican to help mark the Roman Catholic Church's annual "Day of Judaism," which was initiated in the 1990s to foster Jewish-Catholic relations and help Catholics understand the Jewish roots of Christianity.
Skorka, who co-authored a book with Francis when the pope was the Buenos Aires archibishop Jorge Bergoglio, gave a lecture Thursday at the Pontifical Gregorian University reviewing Catholic-Jewish dialogue from a Latin American perspective.
The Day of Judaism generally is marked on Jan. 17 in Italy, Poland, Austria and the Netherlands. Some events took place Thursday because of Shabbat.
In Poland, events included daylong observances in the town of Sandomierz that featured an ecumenical service, a roundtable discussion, exhibitions and a theatrical performance.

Who is ACCCE?
AmericasPower.org is sponsored by the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE), which is a partnership of the industries involved in producing electricity from coal. Coal, an abundant and affordable American energy resource, plays a critical role in meeting our country's growing need for affordable and reliable electricity. America can fulfill the promise of a clean energy future while relying upon our abundant reserves of coal to meet growing energy needs. In fact, forecasts show that it is not a question of "if" we'll use coal (we will), but rather "how" coal will be used. We answer "how" with one simple word. Cleanly. We support investments in technology that will ensure we continue to improve coal's environmental performance, while at the same time keeping electricity affordable for American families and businesses.
What is clean coal technology?
Congress first coined the term clean coal technology in the mid-1980s – long before the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) was formed. Back then, Congress defined the phrase in reference to technologies that reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Today, clean coal technology means much more. Broadly speaking, clean coal technology refers to technologies that improve the environmental performance of coal-based electricity plants. These technologies include equipment that increases the operational efficiency of power plants, as well as emission-reducing technologies. Early work to promote clean coal technologies focused on efforts to reduce traditional pollutant emissions like SO2, NOx and particulate matter. Clean coal technology will continue to evolve as we develop and deploy new technologies to respond to environmental challenges. The coal-based electricity sector is working hard to bring the next generation of advanced clean coal technologies to the marketplace. In fact, the coal industry is expected to have invested more than $126 billion by 2018 to use coal more cleanly and efficiently than ever before.
Just how clean is "clean coal"?
Because of the industry's continued investments in clean coal technology, the environmental performance of coal-based generation has been significantly improved. Fifteen next-generation technologies are being used by America's existing coal power fleet, with 90 percent of plants having installed advanced emission controls by the end of 2015. New coal plants built today also use this state-of-the-art technology, offering improved environmental performance in terms of both efficiency and emissions reductions.
Why should I support clean coal?
Here are the facts:
- We rely on coal today, which provides nearly 35 percent of America's electricity.
- We're going to need to rely on coal for the foreseeable future, both in the U.S. and around the world.
- Coal-based electricity is affordable and reliable as compared to other energy alternatives, which are expensive and intermittent.
- To date, the use of technology has made it possible to produce more electricity from coal to meet our country's growing energy demand while significantly improving its environmental performance.
How much coal do we have?
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, America has the largest recoverable coal reserves in the world. In fact, we have more energy in the form of coal than the entire Middle East has oil. These abundant coal deposits are found in 25 states and, at our current rate of consumption, can meet domestic energy demand for roughly 280 years.
How does coal help our economy?
The coal industry helps support more than 700,000 direct and indirect jobs in America. Whether it's mining coal in one of our nation's 25 coal-producing states, hauling coal across America's railways or generating affordable, reliable electricity at one of more than 500 coal power plants, countless families' livelihoods rely on this industry. Furthermore, the 22 states that generate more than 70 percent of their power from coal pay electricity rates 13 percent lower than the national average. In contrast, states that generate less than nine percent of their power from coal pay electricity rates 24 percent higher than the national average.
Ultimately, coal helps provide a steady and reliable paycheck to hundreds of thousands of Americans, while also keeping electricity rates affordable and predictable for millions.
What is coal's advantage over other energy options?
All energy resources do not produce electricity in the same way. Key differences exist in the type of consumer electricity demand and how electricity providers dispatch electricity to their customers, depending on those changes in demand. Electricity is produced as baseload power and as peaking power. Baseload power is the energy necessary to keep the electricity grid energized and meeting a constant demand. Peaking power is energy that comes on and off throughout the day, when electricity usage and energy demand go up and down. Peaking power uses "just in time" intermittent fuel sources, which are typically more expensive than coal, subject to price volatility and raise concerns over infrastructure, transport and storage. Unlike these fuel sources, coal is consistently affordable and can be stockpiled on site to provide the baseload power needed to keep plants running 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Do we have to choose between affordable electricity and the environment?
The use of clean coal technologies has proven that we don't have to choose between affordable, reliable electricity and a cleaner environment. Coal plants built today using state-of-the-art technology offer improved environmental performance both in terms of efficiency and emissions reductions. Going forward, a new generation of advanced clean coal technologies will allow us to continue to protect the environment and still enjoy access to affordable, reliable electricity from coal. This continued environmental progress must include technologies to capture and safely store CO2. Unfortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency is forgoing American leadership on CCS and an estimated $1 trillion in economic benefits.
Why does ACCCE, and why should I, oppose EPA's carbon regulations?
Under the guise of climate action, the EPA's carbon regulations for new and existing power plants set unrealistic standards for our nation's power fleet, ultimately forcing a transition to politically favored, and more expensive, fuel sources. In reality, these regulations threaten Americans' access to affordable, reliable electricity by shuttering more than 61,000 MW of generating capacity by the end of 2015. Placing this type of strain on our nation's electric grids will have serious costs, with recent analysis by NERA Economic Consulting estimating a total price tag of up to $292 billion from 2022-2033. All of these costs will be for naught, as EPA itself has admitted these regulations will have little to no environmental impact.
States, industry and other stakeholders are challenging EPA's overreach in federal courts with the backing of our Constitution, sound science, technological improvements and the common sense notion of avoiding unnecessary costs that reap negligible benefits.

I would tell you where I found it, but it was the only one, and it is mine, MINE <insert maniacal laughter here>!
I don't know bro, looks abit off to me. tell you what, shipped it over to me and I'll verify it for ya.
And yes, I have a Webley & Scott genuine testmeter that will verify the gun.
Nice catch!
Stay safe,
Very nice find, grats!
Cool. You take those pics? Nice job.
It's..so...Beautiful!!! Nice score, man!
I thought I reconized those photo's. I bought a Webley from someone (cannot remember who), whom contacted me through ebay. He said he had a Webley that a client of his was trying to sell. The pictures that they sent me are those exact same images. This was like maybe three years ago.
It did end up genuine but I later sold the Webley

You mean these pictures?
beautiful! are you going to keep it as-is, or convert it to an ee3?
Abosolutely goregeous!!! Nothing like the "real deal" ....
Ha, ha, very funny. I know you made that out of cardboard.
So did you actually get the gun or just rip off some pics?
Well you can always request more pictures to show that they have it on-hand (if it has not shipped already that is). That's what I did when I bought my Webley online. I also asked for the number that is stamped on each part of the Webley. If all the numbers match, then it's all original, sometimes if the numbers don't match, parts were replaced.
Hopefully you will get it.
Any updates?
The seller was hard to track down, as he is currently in federal prison. I am told he is not the only one doing this scam with these images. I can't talk about this much until the investigation is finished, but I would suggest noone purchase a "real" webley online for a while(resin or plastic ones are ok, just stay away from the "real" ones).
more to come...
p.s. I didn't actually lose any money on this, b/c his bank account was frozen, so the money just got kicked back into my account.
Wow that sucks to get your hopes up and then get let down. Glad to hear you didn't lose your money though
Well that sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice to hear you got your money back!!

Sure, the Fusion is still in a different league when it comes to certain comparators, like its 237 horsepower versus the Shuttle's 19.5 million. But does claim a few crowns, such as its 190,000 rpm maximum vs. the Shuttle's 28,120 (we're assuming Ford means the speed its turbocharger spins), and the Fusion gets much better gas mileage.
Both the full infographic and the press release can be seen below below, or you can click on the image above to see it in full size.
• Modified superalloy used in Space Shuttle main engine helps performance and durability of Ford Fusion 2.0-liter EcoBoost® turbo
• Material supports upper limit of temperature extremes for commercial turbochargers; used on Fusion and Focus ST EcoBoost turbos
• Integrated exhaust manifold casting combines cylinder head with exhaust manifold to aid cooling, direct more energy to the turbo faster
DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 16, 2012 – Enthusiasts will say the all-new Ford Fusion equipped with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost® turbo engine is a rocket ship. Fusion engineers will tell you parts of its engine depend on technology from one.
To prolong turbo life and combat thermal fatigue, powertrain engineers for the new Ford Fusion, in conjunction with a team at supplier BorgWarner, went to the upper limits of commercially available turbo materials when deciding on the turbine wheel for the turbocharger fitted to 2.0-liter EcoBoost variants.
The same material has been tried and tested in outer space, as a version of it was used on the Space Shuttle main engine's high-pressure fuel turbo pump and the blades of its high-pressure oxidizer turbo pump.
The upper temperature limit for the turbine wheel used on the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine in Edge and Explorer is 970 degrees Celsius (1,778 degrees Fahrenheit). But in the sporty 2.0-liter EcoBoost for Fusion and Focus ST, the addition of tungsten and cobalt gives the alloy an upper temperature limit of 1,050 degrees Celsius (1,922 degrees Fahrenheit).
The benefit of using such high-temperature alloy is that Fusion 2.0-liter drivers can enjoy enthusiastic and spirited driving for the life of the car without degrading turbo reliability or its mechanical integrity.
Fusion owners can highlight the fact that the BorgWarner K03 turbocharger features both water and oil cooling; when the engine is running, it is primarily oil-cooled, but after the engine is turned off, the water cooling system creates a thermal water siphon to help draw heat away from the turbocharger.
As a bonus, they might explain their Fusion 2.0-liter turbo's performance is further strengthened by an integrated exhaust manifold design that combines the cylinder head and exhaust manifold into one casting; this allows the creation of smaller internal passageways (reduced plenum volumes) that direct more exhaust gas energy into the turbo more quickly than a separate head and manifold assembly.
The Fusion turbo, they also can claim, is designed to run safely at speeds up to 190,000 rpm, and is the same turbo used in the new, high-performance Ford Focus ST.
More information regarding the Fusion 2.0-liter can be found at http://www.ford.com/cars/fusion/2013/.

Post Election -- a Feeling
I took a walk up the hill yesterday.
It was a little muddy for sneakers.
I could feel the chill
Coming up through my soles.
At the top I turned
And was surprised to see
That the sky to the west,
Backlighting the hills,
Was the same intense orange
As the posted sign
In the field.
Instead of heading back down
I kept walking a bit,
Glancing over my shoulder
At the sunset
Now fading to rose.
The pond too surprised me;
It was the color of red wine,
Black cherry. . .

Mets notes: Dillon Gee bounces back
Gee bounces back
Using his right arm as an eraser, Dillon Gee scrubbed away the memories of his past two spring training starts. Gee tossed six scoreless innings during the Mets' 7-4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Monday afternoon.
"Even though it was pretty bad leading up to this point, I'm still confident in my abilities," Gee said. "And I know the kind of guy that I can be and I should be. I knew I'd come along. Hope I can just keep building off this."
In those previous two appearances, Gee blamed himself for being too timid.
"Finally, I came out and I said, 'You know what? I'm just going to be aggressive and hit the mitt and not worry about the outcome,' " Gee said.
He allowed just two hits over those six innings, striking out seven and walking none.
Den Dekker update
Matt den Dekker announced on Twitter that he will not need surgery after he broke his wrist diving for a fly ball Sunday afternoon.
"Best possible news no surgery just gotta wear this thing for a month," den Dekker tweeted Monday afternoon.
Den Dekker included a photo of his arm covered in a blue-and-orange cast.
Ruben Tejada's troubled spring continues. He went 0-for-2 with a walk in Monday's win, dropping his average to .085. "You've got to be careful of March and you've got to be careful with September," manager Terry Collins said. "Ruben Tejada has done it under the bright lights two years in a row. His swing's better. He's starting to make better contact. He looks better at home plate." … Daniel Murphy went 1-for-5 and played seven innings at second base in a minor league game in Port St. Lucie, Fla., on Monday. On Monday morning, Murphy said he felt fine after playing five innings Sunday. … Greg Burke, a candidate for one of the final spots in the bullpen, allowed two earned runs in one inning Monday.

USA Today Makes the Case for No Child Left Behind
An editorial in today's USA Today observes: "Rather than [helping] make needed school reforms succeed, the unions are trying to block them by raising objections that don't stand up under scrutiny." The USA Today editorial continues by refuting several of the main critiques put forth by the opponents of reform.
Opponents of Reform: Washington won't fund the reforms.The complete text of the USA Today editorial can be found at: http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/
USA Today: "While the goal of ensuring that all children learn at 'proficient' levels by 2014 will require more federal aid, Washington has shown it is prepared to provide it. Since passing the school reform law in 2001, Congress has boosted spending on poor students. New York City schools, for example, receive an extra $1,807 in federal dollars for every poor studentan increase of 53% during the past two years. What's more, many schools are implementing the reforms without massive infusions of money."
Opponents of Reform: The goals are unrealistic.
USA Today: "The goals set for 2014 are ambitious. Yet a sizable number of schools with predominantly low-income students have shown they can keep up the required pace. Their secrets can be shared with schools still struggling."
Opponents of Reform: The reforms are anti-teacher.
USA Today: "The unions say requiring every child to have a 'highly qualified' teacher within two years punishes competent teachers assigned subjects in which they lack expertise. Congress addressed this concern, however, by increasing teacher-training grants in the past two years from $2.1 billion to $2.9 billion. And the drive for high-quality teachers is something the unions have long favored."

Small tech grants, big differences for rural women
By Jennifer Radloff for GenARDIS
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, 20 September 2010
Women in rural areas play a central role in the agricultural economy of their region, which means that they often work long hours, leaving little time for learning how to use new technologies. Yet, access to new technologies affect both men and women in remote areas. In a new publication, GenARDIS 2002 – 2010: Small grants that made big changes for women in agriculture Jenny Radloff explores how seed grants that were disbursed to innovative initiatives counter these barriers and contribute to gender-aware ICT policy advocacy.

Our Favorite Thanksgiving Traditions
As I cleaned my apartment last weekend in preparation of my family's first trip to San Francisco, I began to think about our Thanksgiving traditions. Since I don't own a kitchen table and am quite certain I am not capable of cooking a turkey, my family will be taking a non-traditional approach to our celebration this year. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bummed not to be partaking in our regular holiday activities, but I have no doubt that eating oysters in Tomales Bay and taking photos in front of the Golden Gate Bridge will be worthy alternatives.
Because I'm fascinated by what other people do for the holidays (I believe this is also called being nosy), I asked some of my fellow Britelings to share their Thanksgiving traditions:
"In addition to my family's annual gathering, I also do a 'friendsgiving' with a group of friends in SF on the Sunday before the big day. We each bring a dish, and this year we did a "favorite things" activity where we filled goodie bags for all 8 of us with some of our favorite things under $5–everyone brings one item. We had bags with fake eye lashes, Crest White Strips, lip gloss, hair ties, candles, nail polish — it was a really fun game!" – Brianna, SF City Marketing Manager
"My family is divided and holds fundamentally different beliefs on homemade vs. packaged Thanksgiving foods. Every year we have a feast of homemade dishes, but we also have the pre-made versions (canned cranberry "jelly", Stovetop Stuffing, instant mashed potatoes, etc.) It's like the Crips and Bloods." – Alexa, Chicago City Marketing Manager
"My new Thanksgiving tradition is to cook a real family meal with my New York friends since we can't all make it home for the holiday. We all bring something, and I always cook my Grandmother's stuffing. So it's like you are at your mom's Thanksgiving but with fewer awkward uncles :)" – Staci, NYC City Marketing Manager
"I go to Cape Cod every year! This (pictured below) is one of the dogs at the house we always visit." – Sara, Boston City Marketing Manager
"My Aunt Gerri makes pumpkin bread for everyone in the family. When my package arrived from Pennsylvania, it immediately transported me to family dinner." – Vanessa, Senior PR Manager
"We always get our hands on some kind of turkey and make Pink Clouds. I want everyone to try a Pink Cloud, because it's the best thing I've ever eaten. Here's the recipe:
1. Dutch Crunch roll (has to be Dutch Crunch)
2. Thanksgiving leftover turkey (has to be leftover)
3. Cream Cheese
4. Cranberry sauce
Put it all together and…nom!" – Tricia, Director of Visual Design
Now that you've some of our favorite Thanksgiving traditions, we'd love to hear yours! Share your favorites in the comments below, or find us on Facebook or Twitter.

Date of Stay: July, 2016
Very nice park with cottonwood trees for shade. Lots are very close but quiet. Has propane gas for sale. Concrete patio, but the site wasn't very level. Not a real problem though.
Date of Stay: July, 2016
Very nice park. Small intown location. Don't expect wilderness. Very friendly people. Have stayed here a couple times and would return. The facilities are spotless.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
A small campground on a babbling stream that offers very clean bathrooms and showers, wonderful hospitality, large level sites with full hookups, internet, tent sites and a bunkhouse. The hospitality was first rate and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. There is also food and music in the restaurant on weekends. The rates are extremely reasonable.
Date of Stay: May, 2015
Exceptional facility, Never seen such great facilities from bathrooms, showers, kitchen, lounge/library and a great laundry. Superb hospitality as well. Convenient to anyplace in Moab or surrounding area. Fire ring in the patio area. New campground but trees have been planted and it will only get better.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This campground did have a security gate but it seemed to be more of a trailer park than a campground. We camped in the field near the pool. There were not many people in that part of the park. It was quiet except for the noise of traffic on the highway behind us. The noise was not bad but for a "thousand acres" I expected to be away from the highway far enough not to hear it. The bathrooms were a long way away from our site so we did not use them. We did walk around the campground and were struck by the very large number of sites that appeared to be seasonal. Some appeared to have been there a very long time. A large dog tied outside of one unoccupied camper barked constantly and could be heard quite a distance away. While our stay was only overnight it was not bad. The site we had was grassy and did not appear to have a solid base that might make it muddy if the weather was wet. I would not look to this campground for a multi- night stay. Other than a very nice pool, there did not appear to be much for kids.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
This campground was very quiet. The bathrooms and showers were exceptional - clean and plenty of water pressure (town water). We had a pull through site in the lower part of the campground. There were quite a few open sites. Phone coverage was spotty but the phone in the rec hall could be used with a calling card. Tent people would like this campground (if it rains) due to the large covered area with picnic tables and the recreation area is available for use. Management was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
A small campground with a few ocean front sites, some ocean view sites and other sites that were shaded in the woods. Nice quiet campground. We stayed two nights. There is a laundry although we did not visit it. You can get a taxi to town for $10 which is cheaper than parking in Boothbay Harbor. You can order lobsters in the campground and they will cook them for you. I would return.


text: This kit rocks. Shadows are pretty and go on easily. They look polished and clean. Mascara is great, lengthens, and lasts! I didn't try the shadow insurance, I use tinted moisturizer as an eyeshadow primer. The best product in this kit in my opinion though is the 3 way liner! This stuff is amazing! I have tried a zillion different liners and they alway pull at my delicate eye area. This one glides on like a dream! I lined my top lid with a flick, and the water line in like 3 seconds on the first try. It went on so smoothly didn't pull at all, and looked beautiful! I will definitely be getting more of it, and honestly this mascara and shadow may also be my new go to choice. It is all awesome! Beautylish is great too! I live in Alaska and my order took less then 2 days to arrive at my door! Great customer service!

Another beautiful day on Jumbo
Mileage: 12.1
October mileage: 146.2
It's hard to overemphasize just how inspiring/healthy/revitalizing the mountains around Juneau have been for me this summer. I haven't focused on training for any specific event since the 24 Hours of Light in June. (Well, OK, I did have a few weeks in August where I labored under the delusion that I could climb my way to adequate fitness for Trans Utah. I have since learned that, even if I had gotten the time off work to participate in this event, I would have showed up for it woefully, woefully undertrained.)
But, in general, no training means I can wake up in the morning and do whatever I feel like doing. If the morning has hints or even tiny flecks of possibility for nice weather, I head up high. The result has been lots of time in the mountains, working up a deep sweat in the woods until I reach the alpine ceiling with its vast spread of open space. I spend as much time up there as I can manage, devouring a feast of color and light until I'm convinced I'll never feel hungry again. When I come back down, I feel stronger and more fit than I think I ever have.
It's hard to compare my fitness right now to what it typically is in, say, February, which since I started serious training has always been my peak month. But compared to the end of any summer I can remember, I feel like I'm at my strongest right now. I can hold an 80-minute pace up Mount Jumbo comfortably. I used to just survive my way down the mountain, but now I can practically run. My formerly wobbly knees have finally achieved strength and stability that can take all the hard downhill pounding (too bad the rest of me is still as clumsy as ever.) But beyond just the hiking, my cycling fitness has stayed strong. My experiences on the Golden Circle proved to me that I have come a long way since last year - despite my lack of any real focus on endurance cycling throughout most of the summer. Who needs training when you have mountains?
Today's hike came in under three hours, probably a personal best. There was still plenty of time for pictures:
These ptarmigans are about halfway between their summer and winter plumage, which, as you can see, is still perfect camouflage for the season.
There was a light dusting of snow above 3,000 feet. I don't think this snow even made it through the afternoon.
As is usually the case with Mount Jumbo, the clouds didn't start to clear until I was on my way back down.
Why yes, now that you mention it, I do take a lot of pictures of myself on top of peaks.
I think my newer camera may be broken. I charged up the battery but the camera still shuts off instantly after I turn it on. I stuck the battery in my old Olympus today. I'm not going to be real happy if this one has to be my main camera again. The viewing screen is so scuffed up that I basically can't see the image in any kind of sunlight. It's hard to frame a shot with no viewfinder.
I have had friends ask me why I never take pictures of the city. There you have it - the city. We're expecting our first sea-level frost tonight. I just realized that I haven't yet purchased a set of 29" studded tires. Anyone have any recommendations for a set that can be used both for commuting and riding on frozen lakes?

Evidence showing cattle getting into rivers and anecdotal stories of animals being slaughtered next to streams have renewed calls for the introduction of a bylaw to exclude stock from Hawke's Bay's waterways.
It comes after vandals cut a fence to access their favourite river spot, also giving cattle a free pass to access and trample the banks as well as defecate in the water upstream from swimmers and fishers.
A Napier angler, who did not want to be named, spotted more than 20 cattle in the Tutaekuri River, near Brookfields Bridge, between Meeanee and Pakowhai this week.
"The reason it concerned me is that people are further down swimming and fishing while the cattle are in the same river and we're being told by the regional council not to let any cattle into the waterways.
"I used to fish a lot in that river and was driving past the other day, had a look over and saw the cattle standing in it. Obviously they are drinking because it's hot and they're able to do what they do in the water."
Regional council acting manager of compliance Wayne Wright said the council owned land at Brookfields Rd, next to the river.
"We have cattle there which we graze to keep the vegetation down. They are fenced off from the river.
"What is happening is that people want free access to the river and someone is cutting the fence down to get to the water, which is allowing the cattle in."
Mr Wright said it had been an ongoing problem. The regional council could prosecute the vandals as it was deemed "wilful damage".
The regional council currently had no rules which prohibited cattle from walking into rivers and streams but encouraged farmers to use "best practice" and not allow their animals near waterways.
"The only offence which may come from cattle in the river, could be if the water is contaminated, which basically needs to be proven by analysing the water."
Fishing club members reported hearing stories that people were also butchering cattle on the river banks as the animals were easy to access. It was thought up to 50 stock a year were lost to thieves but Napier Freshwater Anglers Club president Hugh Peterson said those stories could not be verified.
"I haven't heard anything substantial on that matter, it's only stories second or third hand."
Mr Peterson said cattle in rivers "were a nuisance" if they weren't fenced off property and caused "a hell of a mess" on side streams.
Angler Ian Fleming said the Brookfields Bridge area has a lot of visitors since the cycle and walking trails were put in nearby.
"You would have to be happy with the work the regional council is trying to do by grazing the river banks and fencing the cattle off ." Mr Fleming and Mr Peterson did not think it would be anglers cutting the fence as fishers wanted the best possible water quality.
Fish and Game New Zealand's Hawke's Bay regional manager Peter McIntosh said the regional council needed to set an example by continuing to fence off cattle.
"There is no bylaw to exclude stock from rivers but one is needed.
"That is something we will be pushing for, stock exclusion from rivers Hawke's Bay-wide. It keeps effluent out of the water, keeps sedimentation down because the banks crumble when the cattle get up and down and release a lot of phosphorous and nitrogen."
Mr McIntosh had not heard of any cattle butchered at the river but had fielded reports of sheep being slaughter and the guts of the animals thrown into the river.
"People think they are feeding the animals but it's not too pleasant when you see that go floating past when you're fishing or swimming."
Regional council chairman Fenton Wilson said using cattle to graze the edge of rivers was the most economical option to keep the stop banks in "pristine condition" for the public.
"Everyone in charge of livestock has an obligation to do the right thing to manage the integrity of the waterways. We encourage people to use our 24-hour hotline number if they have any issues."
The pollution hotline is 0800 108 838.

Coast Guard officials said they have been unable to pinpoint the location where a distress call originated reporting what was said to be a sinking sailboat in the ocean south of San Francisco.
On Tuesday, the Coast Guard suspended its search for four people, including two young children, and began investigating the possibility that the call may have been a hoax.
Searchers using aircraft and sea vessels found no signs of distress, no signs of debris, no reports of missing people, Coast Guard spokesman Mike Lutz said.
We are looking for additional information. We handle every situation like its a life threatening situation unless we are 100% sure its a hoax.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
thanks for sharing it so nice to see in person rather than use my mind.
you want your mum to see what you are making so she can be proud of your accomplishments. She will probably tell all her friends about them. My Aunt does the same thing when ever I give her a quilt. She tells every one about them and even tries to get me to make more so she can get me money as if I need money. I think your mum might be like that ans having one for her cat is her way of having one with out actually asking for one. I made my last cat a quilt and in winter she loved it. She passed last August at the age of 171/2 years.Originally Posted by Dina

Through the development of campus-wide Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs), the University has set its expectations for what all of its undergraduate students should know and be able to do upon graduation. These outcomes are characteristics of success and employers find that workers with these abilities do well on the job. The SLOs also reflect capabilities that will help make our students good leaders.
The University endorsed the SLOs in 2007 and they are now being implemented in undergraduate courses and major programs across campus. The SLOs state that, at the time of receiving a bachelor degree, students
In order to determine how and at what level our students are developing in these skills, we administered an educational outcome assessment to measure improvement in our students' abilities in critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and written communication. Two modules from the ACT Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency (CAAP) were selected: (1) critical thinking and (2) a writing essay. During the summer of 2010, a group of entering freshmen took the CAAP; and in the spring of 2011 a group of graduating seniors who started here as freshmen took the same assessment.
The study was conducted in conjunction with the University's Test Center and the Office of Institutional Research (OIR). During the summer administration, email invitations were sent to entering freshmen prior to their arrival on campus for summer orientation. A web-based RSVP system was developed by OIR to register students and send reminder emails of confirmed participants. Administration of the modules was conducted by the Test Center. Students were tested at the end of their second day of orientation throughout June and July, once 200 students were tested the summer testing stopped. Entering freshmen were given $50 gift cards to the Bookstore upon completion of both modules.
The spring administration utilized the same RSVP system, but the invitation was sent to all expected 2011 spring graduates who had started at the U of M as new entering freshmen. The RSVP system capped out at 300. The modules were administered in late March and early April at various sites around campus, after completing the two modules students were given a $50 Target gift card. A grand total of 264 seniors completed the CAAP.
This may take a few moments, the application is processing.

Income tax increase likely to have political fallout
Mary Milz/Eyewitness News
Indianapolis - Property taxes aren't the only taxes going up. Monday night the Indianapolis City County Council voted 15-13 to raise county income taxes .65 percent to pay for the mayor's crime-fighting plan.
The vote drew protests and promises of political repercussions come November. The day after, Republican Scott Keller and other councilors were still receiving angry e-mails.
"I am absolutely livid about the vote to increase our income taxes..." began one. Another started, "The condescending and arrogant attitude of the council last night was embarrassing."
Several people who attended the council meeting wore shirts or held signs that said, "Boot Bart," and "Remember in November."
"It's like the mafia or something. They don't care about the people," said Sahara Williams, an Indianapolis resident.
Coming on the heels of a huge jump in property taxes, the mayor admitted, "The timing couldn't be worse (to raise income taxes) but we had no choice."
IUPUI Professor of Political Science Bill Blomquist said, "There are definitely political implications."
Not so much for the seemingly unbeatable mayor, Blomquist said, "but for his one-seat Democratic majority council, who largely supported the plan."
"The council members are more vulnerable because they don't have the name recognition and financial resources of the mayor," Blomquist said, "So, if anyone's really on the line about [the vote] it's the individual councilors who voted for the increase."
Keller was one of two Republicans who voted for the hike. The other, Lance Langsford, isn't running for re-election. Keller said he's not worried about any fallout. He said his district has the highest crime rate in the county.
"I assure you many (in his district) were for it because they saw where the money was going. They hate the tax, but they like the result," Keller said.
Democrats Dane Mahern and Sherron Franklin voted against the increase. Both face tight races, with Franklin in a district that leans Republican. An Indianapolis police officer, Franklin said it wasn't hard saying no to a tax hike, even one for public safety.
"People come first, politics come second. And we have to remember not everyone out there makes $50,000. Some are making $20,000 or $18,000 and they have families and you have to take all that into consideration," Franklin said. "I just don't think it's fiscally responsible to give two tax increases back to back."
Blomquist said the anger over taxes (both property and income) has already helped one candidate, Greg Ballard, the Republican running for mayor.
"For Greg Ballard, lightning strikes and you get an opportunity, an opportunity to get a little more press coverage, to have people want your take on an issue," he said.
Suggested Links
But will people actually remember in November? Keller said, "I think people in those areas hit hardest, like Meridian-Kessler and Butler Tarkington, if they're not satisfied that there will be a reduction in their taxes (due to reassessment) the tendency will be to 'throw out the bums.'"
With more than three months until Election Day, Blomquist said he believes it depends largely on whether Marion County Republicans can mount enough opposition "that reminds people of this vote and connects it to the election in November."

Suspension for the track
heyy guys i wana lower my car for the advantages of handling upgrades and im going to be tracking my car... maybe a drag or 2 but mostly like the main track so i need to be able to handle turns... i know this will be my daily but i dont think racing springs will be bad ill just be careful...so my question is... Would koni yellows to h&r Raceing springs be best for the budget?
If you are going to keep it as a Daily, then I would consider a different spring.
The H&R Race are great for the track, but will rattle your teeth on anything but a freshly paved road.
I currently have the Eibach Pro-Kit paired with KYB AGX adjustable struts and they are a good combo for track AND street use. The ride is as comfortable as Factory, but with a lowered stance.
I purchased the H&R Race / Koni Yellow setup for when I go to the track and it was a world of difference compared to my Eibach/AGX setup. Unfortunately, once I got off the track and hit regular roads it was a pretty rough ride.

quote:Reid claim's to have inside information from one of Romney's partners at Bain. Only Reid knows if he really does have inside information, therefore Reid should have named the person who gave him this information if he was going make this claim. On the other hand, Romney could have destroyed Reid by simply releasing his tax returns for the years in question if it wasn't true.
Because Reid didn't know what Romney paid in taxes. Reid's accusation was false and unsubstantiated, which WaPo's Ruth Marcus said for Cruz "crosses to make such an accusation.the line."
Reid claim's to have inside information
quote:Having one stable country in the region aligned with the U.S is a good thing no? Not when they destabilize everyone else for their security. israel gets more than anyone else with no restrictions. Epic failure on your part.
Ted Cruz = Joe McCarthy
Boxer's analogy may have been more apt than she realized. Two and a half years ago, Cruz gave a stem-winder of a speech at a Fourth of July weekend political rally in Austin, Texas, in which he accused the Harvard Law School of harboring a dozen Communists on its faculty when he studied there. Cruz attended Harvard Law School from 1992 until 1995. His spokeswoman didn't respond to a request to discuss the speech.
Cruz made the accusation while speaking to a rapt ballroom audience during a luncheon at a conference called "Defending the American Dream," sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, a non-profit political organization founded and funded in part by the billionaire industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch. Cruz greeted the audience jovially, but soon launched an impassioned attack on President Obama, whom he described as "the most radical" President "ever to occupy the Oval Office." (I was covering the conference and kept the notes.)
He then went on to assert that Obama, who attended Harvard Law School four years ahead of him, "would have made a perfect president of Harvard Law School." The reason, said Cruz, was that, "There were fewer declared Republicans in the faculty when we were there than Communists! There was one Republican. But there were twelve who would say they were Marxists who believed in the Communists overthrowing the United States government."
"We are puzzled by the Senator's assertions, as we are unaware of any basis for them," Robb London, a spokesman for Harvard Law School, told me.
Reid had shite - he made the whole thing up.

I find your tolerance of communist thought disturbing.
Not a very good comparison IMHO, Welch wasn't an agent of a foreign government. Welch was pro American even if you disagreed with his views on Communism.

When babies disappear
The magic fertility number, if you want the population to remain stable, is 2.1 children per woman. Today, the U.S. fertility rate perches at 2.01. Compared to countries like Poland (1.32), Germany (1.36), and Singapore (1.11), that might seem impressive. But as Last points out in What to Expect, America's buoyant fertility may be a statistical mirage.
Break the numbers down demographically, and the trends seem less promising. For college-educated women, for instance, the fertility rate is roughly 1.6. As education goes up, fertility shrinks. Hispanic women, meanwhile, pull far more than their own weight, with an average rate of 2.73. The problem? Their fertility numbers are falling fast as well, and continue to plummet as immigrant women assimilate into the larger U.S. culture…
The best arguments for having children, unfortunately, run opposed to modern, secular American culture. Good reasons to have kids tend to be about delayed gratification, prioritizing family, putting others first, transmitting serious values and beliefs, focusing on something larger than yourself, and understanding the difference between joy and fun. Perhaps this is why, as Last notes, "American pets now outnumber American children by more than four to one." It's also why, if American fertility continues to slide — and, as the author notes, that's still an "if" at this point — there's little the government can do.

To control the symptoms of their condition many women with PCOS take birth control pills. But research has raised concerns regarding the long-term safety of seeking relief from PCOS in this way.
Newer "third generation anti-androgen" birth control pills contain a synthetic constituent called drospirenone, which mimics the essential female hormone called progesterone. These pills are often prescribed to women with PCOS because their condition can play havoc with hormone levels, lowering progesterone and producing excess levels of androgens – male hormones which include testosterone.
Yasmine is one of these newer birth control pills and it was included in a study by the University of Wisconsin, where researchers tested mental agility among a group of women who were taking various oral contraceptives or none at all.
Women using the older types of a birth control pill with an androgenic effect performed the mental test better than anyone else, including women who were not using birth control pills.
However, Yasmin users not only performed more poorly on the mental task compared to older generation pill users but they performed significantly worse than women using no birth control at all.
The researchers concluded that "visuospatial performance is hindered with the introduction of anti-androgenic preparations."

As Owen Franks prepares to go head to head in a match against his brother, Ben, for the first time, he has revealed he would have left the Crusaders in search of more game time if his elder sibling hadn't.
The Crusaders' policy of mixing and matching their three All Blacks props - the Franks and Wyatt Crockett - didn't go down well with the brothers, who felt they needed regular games to get into the rhythm required to excel in their positions.
With no guarantee things would change this year, Ben left for the Hurricanes, where he has joined coach Mark Hammett, formerly of the Crusaders.
"It's probably better for everyone," said Owen. "If it wasn't Ben going, I would have gone. It's pretty hard trying to get your game going when you're on the bench every two or three weeks."
Owen and Ben are training partners and good mates off the field - they have collaborated on a book Training Tough. But tonight they clash at Westpac Stadium.
The brothers have played against each other before - in a national provincial match for which Owen represented Canterbury and Ben Tasman, but both played tighthead prop. But Ben will be at loosehead tonight, so it will be the first time they have gone head to head.
"We get on really well, but when it came to training [at the Crusaders], I guess we were going for that same spot," Owen said.
"It's quite nice now to not have that in the back of your mind all the time. But then you have the other side of the coin where we have to play against each other, but that's just part of being a professional.
"He's really strong," Owen added of Ben's qualities. "As a loosehead he gets a good bind up. He's really destructive as well. My job will be to not give him a chance to open me up, making sure I can give the backs good ball.
"I'm just going to really have to be on my game this week as technically he's really good."
At 25, Owen has been in the All Blacks since his first test against Italy in 2009, the same year he began his Super Rugby career. He has 45 test caps to 28-year-old Ben's 23.
The pair attract praise for their professionalism, but there have been suggestions that Owen reached his peak a couple of seasons ago and that the weights are taking precedence over the rugby.
Not so, he said, although he conceded 2011 was one of his best years with the Crusaders and All Blacks.
"I started in 2009 and the end goal was always getting to the World Cup. That [2011] was really the year when I was looking for everything to come together and [I was] peaking, so it probably was.
"[But] it's definitely my goal to get to the next World Cup."
Asked if he was still making gains in the gym, he said: "Yeah I am. I try to improve every pre-season ...
"You've got to get the balance right. Too much of anything is not going to be good. We're rugby players, not weightlifters, so you have to make sure you get the right balance of weight training and rugby training."
He said he welcomed competition from players such as the in-form Ben Afeaki at the Chiefs and Charlie Faumuina at the Blues.
"Those guys have been around for a while but are starting to come into their own. It's about me staying on top of the heap."
Hurricanes v Crusaders Westpac Stadium, 7.35 tonight

Red Wings Looking For Win #2 Thursday
Rochester, N.Y. - Some would say another Governor's Cup championship title has been a long time coming for the Rochester Red Wings.
"The last time we won was 1997, which was the first year we opened Frontier Field," says General Manager Dan Mason. "So if it seems like it was a long time ago, it was."
A great grand-opening to Rochester's new baseball stadium.
"It was a magical year and so I figured it's going to be like this all the time here at Frontier Field," recalls Mason. "This house is good luck."
But since then, we've been in a playoff drought, with a lot of changes to the team.
"A lot of different guys have come and gone, differet managers, different players...
a lot of rain outs, and a lot more gray hair from me," says Mason.
Fast forward to last night. It had been 7 years since fans had been able to watch playoff baseball at this stadium. Dan Mason says it's us - the fans - who can help propel the team to another victory"
"We need to be loud," says Mason. "Our fans gotta get crazy like we did last night. I think if we pitch well and play great defense..."
...Then maybe, just maybe we'll get to see a big celebration again.
Win or lose, all those extra gray hairs Mason claims the team has given him, are worth it.
"For me it's really a dream come true to work for my hometown team, the team that I grew up going to see at Silver Stadium, I have so many great memories," says Mason.
And he hopes to provide those same great memories to a new generation.

"Winning the Unconvinced" what the candidates SHOULD be doing!
posted at 10:29 am on February 14, 2012 by Kevin McCullough
The major goal of everyone who is to the right of center for the upcoming election should be to take as many people with us to the voting booth in November… right?
Yes there are two "teams" on the field. But there are thousands in the stands, and watching at home that haven't decided whether they cheer for red or blue.
My challenge to any who would listen at CPAC2012 was… "Make no mistake, our methods will speak as loudly as our substance."
What say you?

I'm glad I haven't quit smoking yet
Short Story by: paloma0703
Status: Finished
Genre: Gay and Lesbian
Marie has no desire to go out in this 20 degree weather but her friends insist that sitting at home on the couch reading a book is no way to spend her Friday night. It is 10pm on the 13th of October. This day usually brings Marie great surprises and has always proven to be a lucky night for her so she gives in to her friends request. She begins getting ready with no inclination of just how lucky tonight will end up being for her.
Jean is new in town with only a few friends and they are on their way to a party across town at a co-workers house. She is excited to meet new people and get to know the area better. Although Friday the 13th has never been a good night for her, she is determined to change that as part of her fresh start in this new city.
Marie and her friends arrive at the party and park the car at the end of a long row of vehicles. The baby blue house to the left is overflowing with people and the music is so loud the girls have a hard time hearing each other in the car.
Inside, Jean is feeling a bit claustrophobic. She decides to step outside for a quick smoke, a habit she plans to break at the start of the New Year. As she quickly rounds the corner just outside the door she slams right in to a tall, dark haired girl with deep eyes, she swears they are black.
Marie: "Oh, I'm sorry; I was just having a smoke before entering the madhouse. I really shouldn't be standing right outside the door. Are you okay?"
Jean is spellbound, she has never seen a girl this beautiful, and they don't make them like that where she's from. She can't even remember what year it is, let alone how to say hello. She doesn't know if she's okay, she only knows that she is glad she hasn't quit smoking yet.
Jean: "It's okay, I was just coming out to get some fresh air and pollute my lungs."
Jean thinks to herself (What! That doesn't even make sense. Fresh air and a cigarette?! Are you stupid Jean? This girl should just walk away right now).
But Marie finds the humor in the crazy statement and offers up her lighter, she can't stop staring at this gorgeous pixy looking creature. As Jean leans forward to light her cigarette on the flame her eyes are transfixed on Marie's onyx stare.
The two girls carry on a conversation so easily that they forget just how cold it is. After 30 minutes and enough smoking, they decide to say goodbye to their friends and head on over to the local 24 hr. burger joint where they eat, and talk for hours. Marie knows that the book she left on her bedside table would have never been this interesting. Jean knows that her Friday the 13th luck had officially changed for the better.

Add Your Comments:
This is really good... I'd have loved to have seen you throw the audience for a loop at the very end of this one... maybe something like... "Jean thinks to herself '"This is such a wonderful day...I've been wanting to make a true friendship since I moved to this city... Who would have thought I'd be able to do so on Friday the thirteenth?"' as she & her great new friend walk into the party together talking about the guys in their lives..." The reason for this is twofold.
First; This is a site where many people are writing to varied audiences... If your reader is turned off by a same-sex relationship, & that is indeed where you want to eventually go with this one, you won't lose them at least until they have read your second chapter. Second, if you choose to NOT make it a lesbian story, you can change it. And if you choose for it TO be that you can develop it in a way that helps the reader see the blossoming relationship, & accept that it "Should" be that way (In the reader's mind). I don't want to tell you what to do, & you don't have to place any wheight on these comments at all if you don't want to... It's just an idea...
My teacher suggested something similar. She thought I maybe should have left it at they went to diner and allow the audience to use their imagination. I totally get what you are saying about not turning readers away. I'd love to be able to finish it up in a way that it is open to be interpretted either way. Thank you so much for your suggestions. And for taking the time out to read it.
Thanks for your visit... Was I too "Subserviant" with my comment back to you? I haven't seen you back... Approach...
Awesome, you write very well and I definitely appreciate the two aspects I actually love, smoking and lez's :D I thought I had read all your stuff ages ago but I guess I was wrong! x

The Destination
Generals Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee apparently found the town of Winchester, Virginia, worth fighting for—the historic hamlet changed hands a total of 72 times during the Civil War. In addition to a strategic position in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, the town has always been blessed with stunning geography—rolling hills, shady tree-lined streets, and an abundance of apple blossoms lend a picturesque backdrop to Winchester's must-see museums, 18th-century homes, and Old Town boutiques.
The Digs
Built at the height of the Jazz Age and located just an hour and fifteen minutes from Washington, DC, the 89-year-old George Washington A Wyndham Grand Hotel recently underwent a $30 million renovation to restore its soaring ceilings, Tennessee-marble floors, and Roman-style indoor swimming pool to their former opulence. Modern amenities include free high-speed Internet, flat-screen TV's, in-room Wolfgang Puck Coffee, and room service. The hotel's Dancing Goat Restaurant draws guests and locals alike with its organic ingredients from local farms, while the on-site Saumaj Spa works wonders after a day walking through Old Town. The convenient location places the town's top shops and museums within walking distance.

Man Arrested For Abandoning Daughters
A Houston man was arrested after leaving his children in a car Thursday outside of Avery Apartments on West Gulf Bank in northwest Houtson.
Victor Ruiz parked his car in a no parking zone outside of his apartment to take groceries inside while leaving his two daughters in his car. Neighbors said as soon as Ruiz went inside, a tow truck driver quickly hooked up the family's vehicle and drove off.
The tow truck driver stopped two miles away from the apartment complex on Wheatley when he realized the girls were inside the car. Police charged Ruiz with two counts of abandoning a child because the kids were left without adult supervision.
Neighbor Sade Jones and told KTRH's television partner Local 2 she witnessed the incident and asked, "How did he abandon a child if a whole bunch of people (were) around watching his car?"
Ruiz's bond has been set at $4,000.

DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen's Statement on Republicans' "Pledge"
DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen released the following statement today on House Republicans' "Pledge to America."
"It's telling that House Republicans claimed to have listened to the American people when writing their pledge despite the fact they ignored one of the top vote getters on their site, which was to save American jobs and stop outsourcing. That's not surprising considering they have all voted repeatedly against House Democrats' efforts to stop outsourcing American jobs.
"With the release of their agenda today, House Republicans confirmed what Pete Sessions said about the need to go back to the exact same agenda as President Bush.
"All House Republicans did was recycle the failed economic policies of President Bush that put special interests and multi-national CEO's above American families: tax breaks for corporations that ship American jobs overseas, unpaid for tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, and repealing Wall Street reforms."

text: DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., June 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- International Speedway Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market: ISCA; OTC Bulletin Board: ISCB) ("ISC") today approved funding to redevelop the frontstretch of Daytona International Speedway, the Company's 54-year-old flagship motorsports facility, to enhance the overall experience for its fans, marketing partners and the motorsports industry. This historic, multi-year project will break ground on July 5, 2013, and is targeted for completion in January 2016, in time for the 54th Rolex 24 At Daytona and the 58th DAYTONA 500. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130618/CL33459) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20091005/FL87045LOGO) "We are truly creating history with this unprecedented endeavor," said ISC's Chief Executive Officer Lesa France Kennedy. "I commend the board's decision to move forward on our plan to redevelop the Company's signature motorsports facility, thereby shaping the vision of Daytona for the next 50 years. "The decision was made with strong consideration of the current macroeconomic condition and a clear view for our long-term growth," Ms. France Kennedy continued. "This significant private investment is a strategic use of our capital that will ensure the long-term viability of the iconic speedway, and when completed, will contribute favorably to the Company's revenues, as well as to our community and the sport as a whole." The redevelopment is expected to cost between $375 million to $400 million, excluding capitalized interest. Total expenditures incurred for the redevelopment through May 31, 2013 were approximately $15 million. The Company expects to fund the redevelopment from cash on hand, cash from its operations and may use borrowings on its credit facility for a limited period of time to even out cash flow. The five-year capital expenditure plan (2013-2017) that ISC's Board of Directors approved is not to exceed $600 million over that period. This is consistent with the Company's previous guidance on its average annual capital expenditures range of between $100 million to $120 million for the next several years. The five-year capital expenditure plan encompasses all the capital expenditures for ISC's 13 major motorsports facilities, including the Daytona International Speedway redevelopment, as well as any equity commitments to undertake a proposed mixed-use entertainment-oriented destination development across from Daytona International Speedway, which is still in the planning stage and subject to a number of approvals. The vision for the redevelopment of the Daytona International Speedway frontstretch places an emphasis on enhancing the complete fan experience, beginning with five expanded and redesigned fan entrances, or injectors, along International Speedway Boulevard. Each injector would lead directly to a series of escalators and elevators that would transport fans to any of three different concourse levels, each featuring spacious and strategically-placed social "neighborhoods" along the nearly mile-long frontstretch.
