text: Plot: In the 4th installment of the Mission Impossible series, Ethan Hunt and his team are racing against time to track down a dangerous terrorist named Hendricks, who has gained access to Russian nuclear launch codes and is planning a strike on the United States. An attempt by the team to stop him at the Kremlin ends in a disaster, with an explosion causing severe destruction to the Kremlin and the IMF being implicated in the bombing, forcing the President to invoke Ghost Protocol, under which the IMF is disavowed, and will be offered no help or backup in any form. Undaunted, Ethan and his team chase Hendricks to Dubai, and from there to Mumbai, but several spectacular action sequences later, they might still be too late to stop a disaster.

Sprint-racing huskies
"Very few dogs have greater energy needs than sprint-racing huskies. Accordingly, a 2009 study published in the British Journal of Nutrition compared the health, and in particular, the haematological parameters (focusing on red blood cell counts) of six such dogs [fed a nutritionally balanced meat-free diet] with six others maintained on a commercial meat-based diet for 16 weeks, including 10 weeks of competitive racing. Haematology results for all dogs were within the normal range throughout the study and the consulting veterinarian assessed all dogs to be in excellent physical condition. No dogs developed anaemia. On the contrary, red blood cell counts and haemoglobin values increased significantly over time in both groups."

Meet The Family (Sort Of)
Quinn felt strangely... mellow, almost.
It was nice. Lucas had walked them home, saying that it really was no trouble at all, and in return, he'd gotten a blinding smile.
Now they were drifting towards the kitchen, where their dad sat at the table, working.
It felt like Quinn hadn't seen him in forever.
And maybe that was true.
Quinn's dad was names Thomas. Thomas Alexander. He was a deputy at the sheriff's department. When he and his wife had split up, she moved back to her parent's ranch in Arizona. She had taken her three year old kid with her.
But Thomas had stayed. He wouldn't leave his beloved little town.
When Quinn was five, they had been sent away to boarding school. A place called St James Academy. It had been full of stuffy boys and girls, all of them wearing skirts or blazers. According to the school's code of conduct, Quinn had to wear a skirt. They had been born with the assigned gender of 'female', and the school didn't know how to deal with someone who was non binary.
And then their mom had died. Leaving them with no choice but to return to the place of their birth - the small town of Blackbird, Coulton. They were forced to go back to the country of Creole.
So here they were, stuck with a man that they barely knew but had to call 'father'.

For days, reports of the wildfires that have raged through south-east Australia have been dominated by images of scorched earth, blackened forests and the charred and skeletal remains of houses and pick-up trucks.
But as the harrowing task of identifying the victims of the deadliest fires in the country's history continues, one extraordinary, and very Australian, tale of heroism is beginning to emerge.
As the flames swept through the small town of Kinglake, north-east of Melbourne, Peter Thorneycroft grabbed a garden hose and hauled himself on to the roof of the local hotel to try to beat back the inferno before it enveloped the 20 women and children sheltering inside its pub.
For more than an hour, he poured buckets of water - handed to him by other locals from a trailer - on to the building to prevent falling embers taking hold. His efforts proved successful and, thanks to a quick-witted photographer, they were also recorded on camera.
Now the image of the bare-chested and seemingly fearless Thorneycroft silhouetted against the furnace sky has captivated Australia, even catching the eye of the prime minister, who has hailed the 43-year-old labourer as a "genuine Australian hero" for his bravery.
"There in the papers today is the unforgettable picture of him standing calmly on the roof dressed in a pair of shorts and thongs [flip-flops], no shirt, as the sky blazed orange around him," Kevin Rudd told parliament yesterday.
"The houses opposite the pub had all exploded, the witnesses say, and if Peter hadn't done what he did the pub would have gone up too. Peter says there's no one who's heroic, you just do it ... [But] Peter Thorneycroft is an Australian hero, he is a genuine Australian hero."
The hero himself, however, has been keen to point out that despite his solo firefight, he is not totally immune to fear.
"It was like a cyclone, like a tornado," he told Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper. "The ground was constantly shaking. It was absolutely deafening. I was using my torch to get up on the roof. It was just complete darkness."
He added: "I never panic at all and I was shitting myself."
His insistence on shrugging off the hero tag - "Everyone's forgotten about their own lives, they just did what they did" - was echoed by his wife, Jodie.
"Everyone was just in hysterics," she told the paper. "He just kept going, 'Everyone's dead, everyone's dead', and I said, 'Shut up and do what you've got to do'."
Thorneycroft's improvised heroics have provided a welcome morale boost for a country that has lost at least 181 people to the fires, some of which appear to have been lit deliberately.
Police have confirmed they are hunting a serial arsonist after investigators uncovered evidence that a second deadly bushfire last weekend was started intentionally.
Late this afternoon a man was charged with one count of arson causing death and lighting a wildfire near the town of Churchill, one of hundreds that raged through southeastern Victoria state last weekend, police said.
He is being held in protective custody.
Christine Nixon, Victoria's police commissioner, said there was also mounting suspicion that the massive Marysville fire, which claimed up to 100 lives, was also the work of an arsonist. She reiterated that the Gippsland fire in which 21 people perished was "certainly" deliberately lit.
There was evidence to suggest the Marysville, Narbethong and Murrindindi fires all started from one source and then spread, becoming separate blazes, the Melbourne Age reported.
This means that one arsonist could be behind a large group of fires that have killed more than 100 people, said a spokesman for the newly formed taskforce aimed at finding the cause of the blazes.
"There has been a serial arsonist in this area for some period of time and we have been working on that," said Simon Overland, Victoria's deputy police commissioner.
Darren Chester, MP for Gippsland, wants a national register of arsonists established to allow police to monitor the behaviour of people previously convicted of lighting fires.
"We'll catch these people," Nixon said during a telethon on Wednesday night in which actors Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe appealed for donations. More than A$75m (£34m) had been raised since Saturday, with Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban, donating A$500,000 (£228,278) to the fund.
As 21 fires continued to burn north of Melbourne yesterday, the United Firefighters Union of Australia said that even if arsonists were responsible, climate change had worsened the situation by allowing the fires to spread so aggressively. They also warned that the disaster was destined to be repeated if temperatures increased.
In a letter to the prime minister, the union urged the government to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.
Rudd announced a national memorial service for the victims of the bushfires.
On Wednesday afternoon, a grass fire came within 10 miles of Melbourne's city centre. Police later released a photo image of a suspect wearing a backpack.

Khalid Lewis (Photo credit: US Presswire) Red shirt Khalid Lewis will get his first chance to impact La Salle basketball for the 2013-2014 season. The now sophomore transferred after one year at the University of Delaware. With the Blue Hens Lewis was a key point guard contributing 5.2 points per game. Due to NCAA regulations Lewis had to sit the bench this past season. This meant while his team was making its way up in the NCAA tournament, he was left in Philadelphia, not even able to travel with them. After sitting out for a year Lewis is no doubt hungry to hit the court. But his role at La Salle might be a little bit different than the one he's experienced in the past. Lewis is one player intended to help fill the gap left by Ramon Galloway. But he still has guards Tyreek Duran, Tyrone Garland, D.J. Peterson and Sam Mills ahead of him in the line-up. How Lewis improves on defense will be a determining factor on whether or not he plays. La Salle is known for its all purpose guards and guarding the entire length of the floor causing opposing teams to adjust their offense. Coach Dr. John Giannini's signature is his pressure defense, which is different than the true-guard position Lewis is used to playing. Offense will be just as important for the Trenton native. Galloway averaged 17.2 points per game this past season, and the player most likely to fill his spot, Tyreek Duran, averaged 14.2 points per game. Simply put, Lewis will have to double his offensive output. These expectations should not be a problem for Lewis, as he has an advantage of a year playing against all the starters during practice and getting training under Giannini learning this new defense. Lewis is a player used to being on the court. He started in all 32 games with the Blue Hens, helping the team qualify for the CBI postseason tournament. He also started and playied in 117 consecutive games at Trenton Catholic Academy. Whether or not Lewis starts this year for the Explorers will remain in question, but he will be a player to look for this season as La Salle aims to continue their success.

Another Ravens linebacker has earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Jarret Johnson is the latest to have won the award, after his performance in Sunday night's 34-17 win over the Jets. The outside linebacker returned a fumble 26 yards for a touchdown, had two quarterback hits and three tackles (including one tackle for loss) in the Ravens' victory.
If you're counting, that marks three Baltimore linebackers that have won the award in the season's first four weeks. Terrell Suggs took it home for his Week 1 effort, and Ray Lewis earned the honors following his performance in Week 3.
No pressure, Jameel McClain.
Head coach John Harbaugh has said that he feels the Ravens' bye week has come at the perfect time, as it will allow his squad the chance to recover from a handful of injuries and hopefully be close to full strength when they return to the playing field next week against the Texans.
"It really is (ideal) with the number of injuries we have." Harbaugh said. "Normally, you like to have it kind of in the middle, but where we are at injury-wise right now, it is the best timing we could have had."
There are a few other teams around the NFL which would love to be accompanying the Ravens on their Week 5 bye this week, because of injuries of their own.
The Steelers, for example, are pretty darn banged up right now. Starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger apparently will play for Pittsburgh this Sunday against the Titans, but he's dealing with a sprained left foot. That, unfortunately for the Steelers, is not the worst of their problems right now.
Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin has said that four-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker James Harrison will miss "a number of weeks" after fracturing an orbital bone near his right eye.
Doesn't that just sound like a lovely injury to suffer?
On top of losing their top pass rusher, Pittsburgh will likely be without defensive end Aaron Smith (sprained foot) against the Titans, and they are also dealing with injuries to running backs Rashard Mendenhall (hamstring) and Mewelde Moore (ankle), nose tackle Casey Hampton (shoulder contusion) and cornerback Cortez Allen (ankle).
Lee Evans, Ben Grubbs, Jimmy Smith, Chris Carr and others on the Ravens will get to kick back and let their bumps and bruises heal this week. No such luck for those in the Steel City.
I've got one more injury note which impacts the Ravens, and this one involves Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson.
Baltimore might catch a break coming out of their bye, as Houston's All-Pro wideout is expected to miss around three weeks with a hamstring injury, according to the Houston Chronicle. If that holds up, Johnson would be on the sidelines for next week's game in Baltimore.
Cary Williams, you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Language: Norwegian
This Red List makes up the official Norwegian Red List from 6 December 2006. It has been drawn up in accordance with the international guidelines issued by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) for use when preparing Red Lists of species. The species are classified in categories according to their assessed risk of extinction, the categories being, in principle, based on quantitative criteria.
Red List assessments have been performed for multicellular species, mainly those occurring naturally and reproducing in Norwegian territory. At present, we know of approximately 40,000 such species. This Red List is a result of assessments made for about 18,500 of these species. Lack of knowledge about their occurrence and taxonomy is the main reason why more species can not been assessed. In the area comprising the Norwegian mainland, the Norwegian Economic Zone and the Fishery Protection Zone around Svalbard, 3799 species (21% of those assessed) have been classified as Red List species. Of these, 84 (0.5%) are now considered Regionally Extinct (RE) and 1941 (11%) are classified in categories that embrace threatened species.
The majority of species on the Red List are in the following main groups: beetles (802 species), fungi (744), butterflies and moths (430) and vascular plants (384). If we look at some other widely known groups, the distribution of Red List species is birds (78 species), fish (44), mammals (31), and amphibians and reptiles (5).

Well, to be honest, I don't know. At first it seems as FS, but we had the same discussion for the JAMES sitemap (yes, people, JAMES will have an sitemap very similar to this!) and I agreed that nestable matching is a good thing. > Do we want to state that matchers return the document when the matcher has > been applied, or should there be a <return/> tag to send the data to the > client, so that matcher tags can be smaller? I'm just not sure there is > enough logic in the matcher syntax, if we can represent if () {...} else if > () {...} else {...} I'll be extremely happy. the need for a "default" matcher emerged and I agree that the syntax above can lead to problems for users thinking that the <generator> at the end is executed no matter what. Possible solutions are: <process uri="*"> <match type="load" greater-then="2.5"> <generator type="parser" src="./*.xml" /> <filter type="xslt" src="./stylesheet/low-graphics.xsl" /> <serializer type="html" /> </match> <match type="browser" is="Mozilla5"> <generator type="parser" src="./*.xml" /> <filter type="xslt" src="./stylesheet/xul-enabled.xsl" /> <serializer type="html" /> </match> <otherwise> <generator type="parser" src="./*.xml" /> <filter type="xslt" src="./stylesheet/general-browser.xsl" /> <serializer type="html" /> </otherwise> </process> which can be rewritten less verbosely as <process uri="*"> <generator type="parser" src="./*.xml"/> <match type="load" greater-then="2.5"> <filter type="xslt" src="./stylesheet/low-graphics.xsl"/> </match> <match type="browser" is="Mozilla5"> <filter type="xslt" src="./stylesheet/xul-enabled.xsl"/> </match> <otherwise> <filter type="xslt" src="./stylesheet/general-browser.xsl"/> </otherwise> <serializer type="html"/> </process> is this readable enough for everybody? > Are we standardising on classpath:org.foo.bar or classpath://org.foo.bar? > I'd say the former. Cocoon will not use the available URL classes because you can't register your own URLHandlers easily from a servlet without doing weird hacks. So we are _cloning_ this functionality by ourselves, wrapping around existing protocol handlers and letting others to be created. But we need to define our own syntax for that. Is the RFC URI powerful enough to handle things like jars, classpath, cvs and such? I honestly don't know. I'm wide open to suggestions here. > What exactly happens here: <mount uri="bugs/*" > location="jar:./apps/bugs.cocoon#*" /> Ok, this is a big part of the new paradigms. This indicates that every request that start with "bugs/" will be mapped to the web application contained into the "bugs.cocoon" jar archive (extention doesn't matter, it could be any zipped file). The -only- constraint (like for any other mounting) is that there must be a file called /WEB-INF/sitemap.xml located in the zipped file. (WEB-INF like for Servlet 2.2 WAR archives) If this file is found, the sitemap is "merged" into the original one and the component definitions are cascaded. NOTE: 1) all URIs must be relative during matching, absolute locations have no meaning for Cocoon given it's servlet nature. Depending on _where_ Cocoon is mapped on the web server, URIs may change. Absolute URIs will be considered as relative and the beginning slash removed. 2) there is _no_ notion of "file:" protocol. The absence of the file protocol guarantees that resources on the file system can be located if both inside or outside archives. WARNING: #2 could create URI parsing problems on windows, since c:/ could be interpreted as the "c" protocol. Suggestions on these issues are more than welcome. > I'm happy to work on rewriting the image serializers to use this sitemap and > anything else I can do after the 3rd. Don't count on having this implemented soon. This is a working suggestion on how it should be, but I think we'll move incrementally from what we have today until we covered up all the functionality described here rather than doing a major rewrite... ... but if any of you want to do it, I'm not going to stop you :) > I'm going to carry on pondering this tonight....

But I did predict ninety wins where the Red Sox in the playoff appearance I did not think they will win the division I asked her that was a couple of years ago. -- an elite played out. Pretty much like I thought it would would be kind of jammed up and about the Toronto Blue Jays were frauds and turn up through fraud. And there was no collapse from the Red Sox you know you get to about June 1 -- Father's Day and your team doesn't go to a major slide. They're pretty legit so I thought -- early in the summer probably before the official start of summer but they were legitimate. I don't of the there was one moment and a lot of people are pointing to the first game of the season and the way they beat the Yankees all the things that were shown Jonny Gomes kind of firing everybody -- come around to score from second on the play at first but. There was one moment I just remember look I I was not as early as you I did not realize during spring training this team is as good as it was. But it a couple of weeks into the season and your memories that I think their World Series contender. Think they can win 94 games of the World Series contender. And it was probably too early to say that people -- I said look 94 wins puts you into the playoffs if you're in the playoffs your World Series contender at the moment though. But I think they really became that was a coach you are emerged as the closer once they got rid of the problems they were having at the end of the game and and a daily and does Allen those three guys just unable to do the job it seemed to solidify everything else that they had going for them to be that moment where they could really crystallized for them. -- John Carroll was an amazing success in his first season matched only -- Francona in his first season of the rights. Are you more impressed by what Ferrell has done as opposed Francona did in 2004 I am more impressed with -- what John Farrell has gone now Francona. Is one of -- not my favorite manager of all time I'd love the way he handled the Red Sox he was the perfect -- to come -- to replace Grady who by the way was the perfect guy when he was hired as well because they needed that presence in the clubhouse to stabilize the does that add an additional American -- -- and what a -- Grady Grady -- was -- -- -- guy -- -- it is the right fire and Terry Francona was absolutely the right got to commit to replace you know what. As good as this team is the team Francona had to have more talent. I mean I'm really impressed with what he did I thought he manages ass off but John -- his team's good I feel like he's gotten the most out of every man on his roster. I give him so much credit the that the -- it took over and they didn't have as much pressure is Francona Abbott had something else this this losing negativity that he managed to race. Well if you don't say you may be on the radio what's an -- talk about this. No I would go to you know. Because -- the mission was very clear -- you don't have any personal grace period there's no honeymoon. Your job is to come here. Yet to the World Series is your first year and win it because the guy you're replacing -- he got arrested ALCS game seven. And we think you were supposed to win it for the messages in -- it was supposed to win. You let that you didn't renew its contract because you thought it cost two World Series so. What was on Beatles play was pretty pretty big for a guy who hadn't had any managerial success in his career becomes and it does the job in the first year. That's that's a pretty impossible task and he did it. Done since they want. It was a lot of confidence. And he wasn't trying to be a bug was right it was great to -- there. -- ABC all of us to take a bullet -- all of us do you let us know since they want that he had -- we're back. Extremely. The St. Louis Cardinals have had an amazing run since they last met the Red Sox in the World Series they have won two titles and been consistent presence in the playoffs. -- the cardinals the model franchise right now on baseball. None on and and and and honest it's easy easy answers Tampa -- please give the bay rays. Are the model franchise model manager. They do -- the right way they've got a low payroll look at all the that pitching they have -- who cares they're one and seven and home. In their last eight playoff games who cares they've never won the World Series. Who cares they lost to Red Sox in four games and that Joseph Maddon mismanaged yourself pitching staff in game four. They are they are the model franchise and. Everybody matter if you wedge and trips well you're about the -- -- aren't -- -- bay ray's fault are you done. Are you finished the I'm annoyed with the fact that the answer to this is yes it is obviously the cardinals and they get there every year they spend money but they don't overspend to 160 million dollar payroll the -- -- they also let guys like pool holes go -- made it they said they spend money. I don't think they -- -- -- small market team they spend enough to retain the right guys they built around pitching young pitching every year they draft well lakes and the right guys away at the right time they bring in the right guys the right time. Two and and they won a couple of World Series for that reason. But I finally know I've always been sort of in the cardinals. All content you like the -- you'll and the cardinal not cardinals fans the best -- Our baseball great -- and whatever shop I think they've. Don't -- baseball they respect everybody they -- they happy -- they don't eat their opponent ever I want it to a horrible thing I want it to have much more so that -- -- I wanted to really true answer for -- Have you ever been a Saint Louis woman -- once I've been to Saint Louis one -- I've never been a bush state might not okay so you have in cardinals now but I'm prepared in Iowa but after. Our common askew after a -- okay what you think of -- I think you're probably gonna give me if I'm already you know I'll give you a thing salt. I'm kind of ornery and angry guys rent -- the like a lot of people yeah the Saint -- people were nice. I know other guys I don't have any doubt that they're nice I'm just expecting to be annoyed by Andy I wish you didn't see yourself that way you picture. The security angry guys don't like a lot of people I think and -- -- nobody would. People vote it people who would describe you that he would say they're very sweet. Reasonable I actually think your game is nicely and I thought. This could smooth but the yeah. The World Series starts Wednesday at Fenway Park thanks to Jim Leland coaching mail all stars to a victory. What is your prediction for the fall classic. Long series. It's going to be a hell of a series these cardinals. RE AM good baseball team it is hard to find a weakness. On a St. Louis Cardinals and -- getting great rotation. I got a great lineup. There well managed they know how to run the bases unlike the tigers they actually have some athleticism. Unlike the tigers. Yeah I mean they got the it is hard it's hard to see. Where you can expose this team so it's going to be a seven game series and and where Boston now say the Red Sox are gonna win it but. Well I'd be surprised the cardinal went to seven no. Said Red Sox are going to be the tigers 72 net. And only took six RIO I have no idea BA I was way off you are way off. You had no idea I have no idea what's gonna happen here I really don't I'm not ready then I apologize and chickened out I'm not ready. I don't know yet but one thing that I will tell you. I think evens the series up in and makes it. Even tougher for the Red Sox to use all of there weapons is. The -- normally. He is the best catcher in the game he shuts down the running game he's an excellent defensive catcher Andy hits a little bit but that's almost secondary to this conversation. I think so much it would Ellsbury Victor -- do when they get on it. It was easier not that out of -- bat -- but he's not he's not got Yani is right preeminent catcher in the game. Should be able to take away part of what the Red Sox wanna do and the question is can they be can they be. The cardinals. With the other parts of their game and they use power and they use their on base percentage and they pitch and they use their beloved cardinals I don't know if they're better than the cardinals and those tattered cardinals aren't there they. National League reps are they really are they're very very similarly built only with some younger pitching as opposed some veteran pitching that the Red Sox actually written and -- the question when it. Totally I don't -- David Ortiz though. That Carlos but now we've got David or 2:30 -- Thought they were to yes pretty close but he's not it's not him it's pretty close to me it's his first World Series. He's -- out Matt Holliday tough out. It's good that that -- the World Series I think area I'm pretty sure Ferrell is gonna called mills we get some hints on how to handle Matt holiday would upset. Two mills says what it totally upset -- Molina family tradition. If one day and I'd like Molina is Jacoby Ellsbury template and yes like I'm not at their catcher I'm actually fast while. I mean it it it's not a would be announced that it would be impossible. -- players not that's -- right he's not big fat like like Bengie and Jose. Pete looks like -- normal human instead of a huge factor and he's good he is going to be good better. There really is best player arguably the best player in the game when you factor in the position and. -- remember that Bill Parcells that you guys -- to Bill Parcells football life. Well or part of a Parcells footballer he's very close to Russa has his Bill Belichick. And they showed in. The spring training with the cardinals. And Molina walked by and he's talking. Odd year earnings going on and on that little report there and he mentioned that. He whoops forgot your Molina. So hard that it makes him nervous -- really really connected with so it is an and I can understand why -- -- it very easy -- like. Easy payment like. -- you're gonna have. Maybe this this takes it to a different a different level we were saying about the the tigers didn't really have anybody that she necessarily hated that was early in the year early in the season and earth series that's been trying to -- They are right but Iglesias I realized that -- Jose and then after prince fielder's remarks about golf you know they can't plays and that's what they're watching. It was little distasteful. But if you look at the cardinals. -- -- hit about hate their fans. I'm annoyed by their fans are on the team that you don't that you know -- Really now I mean like Matt Holliday have talked in a few times nice guy really pointy head. -- -- dot. Com. Turns to play well look like they're a team they're good team. I don't generally root for them root for Texas a few years ago I was written for the tiger I mean like I I generally rooted against Saint Louis since the Bob -- era. Genres that are particular -- Now see here's the stamping. Nice. Now but the the -- it's more it's the same thing as you with Tampa it's everybody builds the -- well. If so great and they win like Boston fans know the game they're angry. Louis fans are great they -- welcoming in their Smart and they're so nice and they let the Red Sox party on the field no fourth. Are -- enough they're nice people whatever from the midwest. They're back to probably rushing. But that they do -- come out about on the Pacific northwest and ultimately the business doesn't that there are so nice to know exactly hopefully that straight up now I'd -- and I don't believe that passed constitutionally -- that they're -- they're -- -- They are phoney to your statement -- you want things to your face and then they do something else -- they don't. The stadium doors for Red Sox fans like that out the stadium so they can come in without tickets to celebrate their team's winning the world's yours -- that participants noted is what midwesterners do. They don't like it wants and now Pacific northwest you know pass the -- at us they'll pretend like -- like you then they'll stab in the back. Now they notes that in the back pages they are paired. They just are not very welcoming and just not as having do their little condescending they are they can become as much more condescension and anything else but the outlook. I don't nobody loves them everybody says that the greatest fans in baseball and maybe I'll be blown away when I get there but I'm prepared. To be annoyed -- an action plan and actually won something other outlook beyond the -- I know they've won and got but it never seems they have great pitching -- a really good team LaMont overlooking them. I'm not gonna make the mistake of doing to them what I did to the Chicago Blackhawks which is completely overlook what they were capable of but I I. I think the Red Sox should be able to beat them their American League team to play in the stronger league date date they should have better hitters allowed rural elderly. I don't know I mean. The tigers are good and they were they were obviously better last year and they weren't here just got -- I just like shut down like that level of of offense that you get in the American League -- the pictures up you were so much about -- pitchers coming to the American League yet. I know that the discrepancy. Is not as big as it was a few years ago when it was really dramatic -- charged one master -- go cardinals by international -- have one have won pennants and recently I understand. I I understand that that's happened. But I I still believe that the American League overall is a strong I'd. You know I don't believe that -- because it. The way the American League used to being and then you know pads made it even more pronounced when that you've got to DH him it was really a dream to Europe heads that helps you out. I think the way the the Red Sox are built in the cardinals bill that's not necessarily an American League nationally nationally thing anymore. When you have reduced the amount of performance enhancing drugs in the game. Emphasis now is on playing baseball the right way I think that's why the cardinals. Are so impressive and the Red Sox are two totally the Red Sox -- what it would do the same thing in a nationally it's like. They are built or certainly if you put David Ortiz at first base in the National League you would embarrass himself. Oh but if you definitely the field at -- 162 games a year I mean you have to -- you probably what bright idea but probably -- a 1000015. Games and people. I know teams believe that the American League is at the disadvantage morsel in the national leader and vice Versa that's true appointment or it's ought to probably have to remove Mike Napoli. From their line up and and that hurts on the other hand it. The tigers don't count and that the cardinals rather don't Abbe David Ortiz. In their lineup they are having ninth guy -- they'll bring in somebody to DH will be okay. But he's not at the level of David Ortiz and -- -- -- perhaps some at Evansville thirteen. But a look at this way you get it at a hitter right -- the cardinals whether it's David Ortiz or not you get at a hitter who's not a pitcher. Wears a Red Sox you're taking away 23 home runs 92 RBIs and a regular season and a guy who is a major power threat and who hasn't won a. But then in the painfully in the American would direct talks get to -- that back into their line up where is bill -- adds something else that it's minimal with many adding that it after he. And -- and if they are after being in the national park for three games they add it back into their lineup -- what I'm saying well. But it's. Fairly clearly hurt the Red Sox more than than nationally that there's no there's no debating human and you lose. You'll lose one -- regular I don't see that whereas opposed as opposed the cardinals. Don't lose me right now but the person they're adding is not necessarily as good as what you used to. Don't compare it to the Red Sox compare to what you normally get to do are normally playing against the dogs they normally play the north. Totally against. It it's it is the hitter they had going to be better than the pitcher. -- like so -- an advantage but. Well it's not an advantage I don't think it I don't think so. Right. About the hitter that -- out of course -- better in the pitcher in the reps so it makes it better than a pitcher. It just didn't -- any. -- -- that's -- there but when they play each other the -- are the same might understand what you're saying but there were the Red Sox are taking away when they lose Mike Napoli the other team doesn't. How somebody like when used Mike Napoli. They're playing -- other American League teams right. When they were -- out DH so we take away. The hitter. You're going to play another team that also tells -- that's it evens out I don't think that is big disadvantage as everybody thinks it is like I don't see it that way at all it doesn't even now because the cardinals have been playing this way all year but there -- approximately in the fairway they're not. Losing -- the but the Sox are Red Sox and lose what the cardinals are gaining is not as impressive as what the Red Sox are eating something. The Red Sox are gaining the in the in the the cardinals are gaining in the universe that they are playing in the right that nationally -- the American League they're just -- the same rules so they're not gaining an advantage I just I don't block them is gaining an advantage I think it's it's it's a straw man argument I don't think it's his relentless struggle who's in -- one I think the people who -- -- -- everybody has that it's a huge advantage it is -- I don't know why I don't agree you know everybody's saying. Because ticket I think they're look at their line up -- disagreement 6777979. Victories at.

Best Naked Time
Poem by: frog
Status: Finished
Genre: True Confessions
Boredom with a lot on our minds* Old enough not to care* I know with her I share the best of times* What would it be like without underwear?``````````````````````````````````` That is the question that brought us away from our fears* The ecstatic of the moment that summer and our young years* Quick grab the towels who cares if its raining* Its summer time near midnight our hearts and minds not maintaining````````` The sound of that truck, the nervous giggles down the dirt road* Turned into the lake not far from our home* Its the country and I hopped quick out* My pants went flying off and my birthday suit out`````````````````````````` The lights blared on my body and me smiling in stride* My friend she was grossed out her hands in front of her eyes* I stepped in the water and muck was on my feet* I didn't step further the water it reeked`````````````````````````````````` No stars shown to light the way* We were left in the misting dark* Like stitches in the making to never fray* Not yet in that water but we will find a way``````````````````````````````` Off further down the road in the forest me wrapped in a towel* Were we out there a minute or out for an hour?* We pulled near the entrance of another lake* Both of our bodies mine naked we quaked```````````````````````````````````` Stepping on dirt and falling in puddles* We walked and we whimpered fought and we stumbled* Up the foot trail lost in the woods* Very determined to feel water without linen goods`````````````````````````` Finally the rocks the rain and small bolts of lightening* For all that we've gone through why would this be frightening* I stared out to the water it was pitch black* But the coolness against our bodies was fun for a fact````````````````````` I stripped off my towel more naked than ever before* And jumped in the water for my privates and I did adore* The freeness the fun the memory forever* My friend said if I saw her naked she would sever`````````````````````````` Though it was impossible for us both not to glance* Forever that coolness of water make this memory dance* We left our fears and poor hearts behind* Yes me and her will remember forever that time`````````````````````````````

Brandability of the name
Being a blogger, the domain name you choose is going to be your brand name as well. So it is important that the chosen domain name is brandable. By brandable, I mean a domain that would sound good being a company name and never ever used by anyone else before. You should choose the domain name that can support your online brand awareness in every way possible like the logo, meaning, color scheme and more. Your domain name should also speak for itself and give the visitor an idea on what your site is all about. A brandable domain is short and unique while still making its niche clear. Shorter domain names are much easier to remember and sound more authoritative.
Choose Domain extensions wisely
The most popular and common domain extensions on the web are .com, .net and .org respectively. So it goes without saying that you should opt for one of these three domain name extensions. I'd say you should try and get the .com one for your blog especially if your readers are not that tech savvy. This is because most people assume the extension of a website which they are not sure about to be .com. If you use the .com extension, there isn't much to worry about losing visitors because of mistyped domain name. Moreover, .com sounds more authoritative which goes without saying. It is always better to spend some extra bucks and get the .com rather than settling for a cheap .info domain which you may regret later.
Availability of Social media handles
Social media is almost inevitable for any business nowadays and your blog is no exception. Before you register a domain name for your blog, make sure the corresponding social media handles are available to pick. If you start your blog and find out it's not available, you will have to settle for a not so cool social media handle. This is a very common mistake people make while registering a domain for their blog. I have made this mistake myself once and it sure becomes a real problem when you find that the social media usernames are already taken by someone else. To check the availability of a social media handle, type in the URL of the social site followed by a forward slash and your desired handle. This method works with most of the social sites. Like, type in facebook.com/yourblogname or twitter.com/yourblogname, if it throws an error page, your social handle is still available and you're good to go. Check this for all the major social sites that you would target. It's always better to be on the safer side rather than regret later.You can also use the username availability tool called NameChk to check if a username is available on the popular sites.
Copyright issues
You are bound to follow the rules everywhere and copyright violation can be a very serious problem which can mess things up. Make sure your domain name does not exactly contain the popular brand names and you are good to go. Huge companies have their trademark registered and it is easy for them to sue you for their copyright violation. It is not a good idea to register an exact match domain name even if the domain suffix is different. If yourblog.com is already registered and running, you shouldn't choose yourblog.net as it might create branding and copyright issues for both the parties. Copyright issues can be more dangerous than they actually appear to be, so a little care is always good.
Since domain name is the first and most important part of a website or blog, extreme care has to be taken before choosing one for your new start up. Always remember that a .com domain will get indexed faster than a country specific one on search engines. Having an easy to spell domain name can help a lot in marketing. The domain name cannot be changed once your site gets established and hence you must be very picky with it. You might also be interested in our article on the common blogging mistakes people make.

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Infiniti vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to repair your automobile. Anyone who operates a Infiniti knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a reliable name built into each Infiniti, and know that only the best replacement FX35 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. Infiniti vehicle owners have grown accustomed to a certain level of a reputation for safety when driving their FX35 around town.
Without the properly working ignition timing system developed for the internal combustion engine, there would be no way to generate enough power for efficient operation. One long-lasting component in your engine that has a countdown to failure is your ignition coil. If you have electronically controlled ignition that uses an engine control module, then you have an ignition coil pack or an ignition coil for each cylinder in your Infiniti FX35. If you have mechanically timed ignition that uses a distributor, then you will only have one ignition coil.. But no matter how many ignition coils you have, it will eventually not work anymore. If just one Infiniti FX35 ignition coil fails, then you will get fewer (if any) detonations and your engine will be robbed of power and efficiency.
When your Infiniti requires a new replacement Ignition Coil, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Get your FX35 back on the road with the highest quality repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Don't let a Ignition Coil repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the best replacement parts. All the Infiniti FX35 Ignition Coil parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003. Choose your year below to refine your search.

This is what I think the new episode, Bloodshot, will be a bit like. Nothing in here is really in the episode (not that I know of, at least) except for Jane not being able to see, and him calling, "Lisbon! I can't see!".
I do not own. But if Jimminy Cricket is right, and I wish upon a star… -stares up at night sky hopefully-
Jane hissed out a painful breath as he rolled off the hood of the car where he'd landed. He knew he hadn't been thrown far, but it still hurt. Rubbing a hand against his face, he felt the minor burns that would probably be healed in a day or two.
He removed his hand from his face to pull himself to his feet with the car's bumper. The moment he took his hand away, he knew something was wrong. It was too dark. He blinked furiously, but it didn't change. He could barely feel his eyelids closing and opening- he had to touch his eyes to see if they were open. To his horror, they were.
"Lisbon!" he called, fighting to keep his voice steady. Already, he was running through everything he knew about eyes and vision. Too many questions were clamoring to be answered. Blind or stunned? Permanent or temporary? Were his eyes bleeding, or burned, or just stunned from the flash?
"Jane? You okay?" Lisbon shouted back. He was more relieved that he should've been to hear that she was fine. Beating back the powerful emotions (fear for his sight, anger to the bomber, caring for Lisbon), he listened hard, trying to visualize the scene without his eyes.
He heard a rustling amid the hissing and spitting of the dying remains of the fire. He could picture her crawling out from under a car, or rolling out from under a bench that she'd taken cover under.
Imagining what he couldn't see wasn't helping him keep calm.
He waved a hand in front of his face again, just to check. Still couldn't see. He touched his eyes. Couldn't feel them- just the heat of his face from the fire, the bruises already forming on his back from when he'd landed.
"Jane?" Lisbon asked again, an edge of sharpness in her voice. He detected worry hidden under annoyance at his lack of an answer. He wished he could see her face. Another ginger brush of his fingers across his sightless eyes. Another pang of fear when he didn't see or feel it.
"Lisbon! I can't see!" he called, disliking the evident panic in his voice. He heard her walk (practically run) over to him.
"Don't lie to me, Jane. This isn't the time for jokes. Why didn't you take cover when you saw how low the count was on the bomb?" she said angrily. She was silent for a moment- he felt a bit of a breeze on his face, and was once again frustrated by his lack of sight. She sucked in a breath.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" she asked. He concluded that she had been waving a hand in front of his open eyes.
"I don't know."
"Answer the question, Jane."
"I don't know! Um… four?"
"Oh, God," she moaned. He heard a dull thud, and pictured her slamming her palm against the car, or kicking a tire. "You swear you aren't lying to me?"
"I'm not lying, Lisbon," he told her, letting some of the fear leak into his voice to reinforce his claim.
"Damn. Damn, I'm going to call 9-1-1." He heard the rustling of fabric, and a phone snap open.
"No, don't. Just drive me wherever. I'm sure I'll be able to see in an hour or two. Just shock, or stunned retinas. Call Rigsby, get him over here to inspect the remains of the building," he interrupted before she could dial.
"Fine, but I'm driving you to the hospital." A flat tone sounded as she selected Rigsby's speed dial. He could faintly perceive it ringing.
"Lisbon-," he started, but she cut him off.
"Don't you 'Lisbon' me, I'm driving you there if I have to drag you. You're not in shock, and your retinas aren't- Rigsby?" she broke off as her call was answered.
"Yeah, you've gotta get over here… I'm fine… no, he-… no, he didn't do anything. No… no, we found the bomb, but it blew up just after we got to it. I said I'm fine. No, he's not seriously hurt. He can't see, though," she said, adding it in as if it was an afterthought.
"Tell him I'm fine," Jane requested. She ignored him.
"Right. I know. I'm going to drive him to the hospital. Yeah. Get the team over here to check out the remains, see if you can find anything. Yes. …Okay. I'll call you when we find out what's going on." She closed her phone with a snap. It sounded like she was rummaging in her pockets for her keys.
Jane was blinking slowly, still trying to clear his eyes. A dull ache had started just behind his eyes- he hoped it wasn't a bad sign. His head had started spinning, likely from a combination of adrenaline whiplash, smacking his head and back on a car hood when he landed, his brain freaking out at the lack of sight, and straining his ears to listen.
He reached out to steady himself against the car, but his hand missed completely, and he almost fell before he managed to grab the side mirror and balance himself.
"You okay?" Lisbon asked, trying to hide the concern by being curt.
"Great. Just peachy," he muttered wearily, wanting her to just drive him to the hospital already. His fatigue had wiped away his resistance to her orders. Two footsteps, then he felt her put his arm over her shoulders and her arm around his waist to support him.
"C'mon. The SUV is over here," she told him. He didn't give her a retort for telling him what he already knew- he was too tired. He just wanted to lie down and sleep, then wake up with full sight and stamina.
She carefully steered him over to the vehicle, helpfully warning him about the step up on the curb. She even opened the door for him, but he buckled up himself, rather gracefully for someone who couldn't see. Then he ruined the effect by painfully stubbing his fingers as he reached to grab the door and close it.
Lisbon drove quickly, deciding against turning on her flashing lights so she could get there faster. Jane sat in silence, growing steadily more frustrated as he tried to see past the black.
"How long?" Van Pelt said. Jane could practically feel the surprised, concerned look she was probably giving him.
"About a week. Maybe less," he informed her casually from his normal position on the couch. Well, not quite normal. The black glasses and white bandages poking out from the sides marred the just-another-day-at-the-CBI appearance he was trying to give them.
"That sucks," Rigsby mumbled through a mouthful of chips.
"Oh, gross. Sharing has its limits, Rigsby. I don't want to see your chewed food," Cho complained. There was a moment of quiet, which was broken when Cho groaned in disgust. Jane imagined Rigsby had just shared another view.
"Lucky you can't see, Jane," Cho said. Jane smirked.
"I actually think this will be an enlightening experience. My body has responded to my lack of sight by intensifying all other senses. I'll be no different from when I could see," he told him, pushing himself up from the couch.
"Where're you going?" Van Pelt asked.
"To get a drink. Want anything?" he replied, walking smartly to the doorway as if he could see it.
"Um… no thanks," she said, surprised at how well he was managing without being able to see.
"Okay." Jane made his way to the kitchen. He felt around inside until he found a bottle of water, and nonchalantly went back to the other agents, a cocky grin on his face.
"I can manage just-," he broke off as he tripped over something and almost crashed to the floor, barely keeping his balance. Rigsby and Cho roared with laughter while Van Pelt jumped to her feet.
"Are you okay?" she asked, putting a hand on his shoulder and guiding the sightless consultant to the couch.
"I'm perfectly fine," he said with as much dignity as he could muster, which only made the other agents laugh harder. Just as he'd wanted, he'd helped to take their minds off the injury, turning their concern into humor. Anything was better than the pity, really. Too bad there wasn't anything he could do about Van Pelt.
He heard a ping (a computer receiving e-mail, or finishing searching, or updating, or something of that sort), and Van Pelt left his side to go click her mouse a few times.
"Cho, go get Lisbon. I've got an update on the bomber," she instructed him. He got up and crossed the room to her office. Elephants, Jane decided silently as the agent seemed to stomp to the door, making the floor vibrate slightly. I work with a herd of elephants.
He returned with Lisbon following close behind, eager for any news on the case.
"What've you got?" she asked the newbie agent.
"Seems like the debris we sent into forensics had a rare chemical explosive in it. Whoever did the bombing has or had access to the military," she informed them. Jane sat up, thinking.
"The bomber wasn't in the military," he told them.
"How do you know that?" Rigsby said.
"Soldiers learn what their explosives have in them. If it was a rare chemical, then they wouldn't have used it, knowing it would be traced back to them. The explosives were stolen to set someone up."
"Or they really were used, and the killer knows we'd think it was a set up," Lisbon argued.
"That too. But I think my theory is right. Bring in the wife, and Jackson."
"Jane, look," Lisbon started. The consultant gasped theatrically, putting a hand to his collarbone.
"Are you mocking my blindness? 'Look'? Don't be mean to the disabled," he exclaimed dramatically. Rigsby coughed to hide a snigger.
"Very funny, Jane." He could almost hear her rolling her eyes.
"So are you going to bring them in?" he asserted, as if he didn't already know what she would answer.
She sighed. "Fine. But you're taking the fall for this, if you're wrong. Minelli wants all the teams to cut back on the people they bring it, and I'm not getting in trouble for you again."
"I'm sure you won't," Jane grinned, speaking the exact opposite of what he was thinking. He didn't see the pillow she stole from his couch and threw at him. Didn't even notice it until it smacked him in the face.

By HOWELL RAINES; HOWELL RAINES is chief of The Times's London bureau.
Published: April 19, 1987
When I first saw the view from my office in London, I felt as if I had inherited a great painting, and in a sense, I had. For when I look south across a sweeping bend of the Thames, I can see the New Palace of Westminister, home of the Houses of Parliament - a filigreed Gothic ramble marked at one end by soaring Victoria Tower and at the other by the familiar Clock Tower of Big Ben. Off to the right, lower and more massive, are the western towers of Westminster Abbey, each wearing a prickly crown of four spires. When the afternoon sun is just so, the scene is magical. The surface of the river, faceted by wavelets, is luminous with a bitter blue-silver light. The sky is silvery, too, except in its higher reaches. There the mists reflect the tawny coloring of the Westminster limestone, and the air around the palace seems brushed with gold. If you want to know how it looks, I refer you to the painting by Claude Monet, entitled ''The Thames Below London.''
The great French Impressionist painted this scene in 1871, and he got it right for all time. Whether from his vantage point at waterside along the Victoria Embankment or from mine 15 stories up in a building off Fleet Street, this view of Westminster perched near its elbow of the Thames remains one of the great cityscapes in the world. The painting hangs today in the National Gallery, less than half a mile from where Monet created it. The prudent traveler can visit both the painting and this wonderful stretch of river, and then do what 99 out of 100 visitors fail to do: slow down and see what's really there in this part of London.
This will take discipline. Here, as in few other places in London, the postcard familiarity of the ''sights'' tempts one to rush. But anyone willing to stroll the area with a good guidebook will be rewarded. I recommend ''Discovering London Statues and Monuments'' by Margaret Baker - a bargain at 85 pence (about $1.35) - and the ''New Penguin Guide to London'' by F. R. Banks (about $8) for its information on the buildings.
From the moment I arrived in London I wanted to see up close what I admired from my window. But my first walking tour was a spur-of-the-moment affair. With time to kill before an interview with a member of Parliament, I crossed the street in front of Big Ben and had just reached the Ministry of Defense building when I came upon a grassy depression fenced off by an iron railing.
It turned out to be an archeological excavation that exposed the original river bank of the Thames where it lapped against the walls of Whitehall Palace in the time of Henry VIII. In 1939, workmen discovered the set of curving stone steps that can now be seen leading down to a stone terrace. Unhappy with what Henry had left, Queen Mary II had her architect, Christopher Wren, add the steps and terrace to the river wall of Whitehall in 1691 so that she could reach the royal barge. The Ministry of Defense building itself now covers, among other things, Henry VIII's huge, vaulted wine cellar.
As these names suggest, this entire area was one of the main stages of British history. Milton, Cromwell, Wren, Charles I, Elizabeth I, Disraeli, Churchill and countless others all played their parts on this ground. Here, with a little imagination, it is possible to feel the pulse of history. The buildings and monuments and statues of different ages are so crowded in on one another that a walkabout becomes a little like using a history book that has been through a time warp.
In this area, too, the British have given full rein to their curious passion for memorializing the trival as well as the grand. So, in this place of epochal events, you can also find monuments to the inventor of Sunday school and the first person run over by a train. Westminster.The Houses of Parliament sit on the site of the old Royal Palace of Westminster, dating from the time of Edward the Confessor (1042-66). Most of the present-day building went up in the reconstruction of 1840-1860. The soaring Victoria Tower, 336 feet high, is the largest and tallest square tower in the world and one of the landmarks of 19th-century engineering. For me, however, the heart of the Parliament buildings is the oldest part, Westminster Hall itself, which dates from 1399. This cavernous room - 240 feet by 68 feet by 92 feet to the height of the roof - housed the British monarchy for five centuries. Nowadays, queens and kings and favored statesmen of the Crown lie in state here. But Westminster Hall's real importance is as a shrine of republican government. The assemblies that evolved into modern parliament met on this site as early as 1265. Parliament Square.One morning, as a friend and I drove through the intersection at Parliament and Bridge Streets, a woman paused on the corner and saluted smartly -into thin air, it appeared. In a moment, we realized that she was hailing the massive Ivor Roberts-Jones statue of Winston Churchill. The salute suggested how much this statue seems a living presence in London. And if you follow the statue's gaze, you can see that the old man, here as in life, is looking toward the House of Commons. Behind Churchill is a statue of the first Earl of Beaconsfield, better known to Americans as Benjamin Disraeli, the Conservative Prime Minister who was a favorite of Queen Victoria. ''You have heard me accused of being a flatterer,'' Disraeli said. ''It is true. I am a flatterer. I have found it very useful. Everyone likes flattery; and when it comes to royalty, you should lay it on with a trowel.'' Disraeli's gibe at the Crown points up a subtle political statement inherent in the layout of Parliament Square, yet not touched upon by any guidebook I have seen. Quite pointedly, there are no royal statues in the square. On this ground, in Westminster and nearby Whitehall Palace, the contest for control of the government was joined between the Crown, in the person of Charles I, and the Parliament, under the leadership of Oliver Cromwell. After years of bloody civil war, Parliament emerged as the main source of power in British government, and Parliament Square is the memorial to the people elected to lead Great Britain, not those who were born into the job. Across the street from Churchill stands the statue of Cromwell himself. History may remember him as the dictator he became in later years, but here he is revered as the republican who led the rebellion against Charles's effort to overturn British tradition by putting the Royal Prerogative ahead of the Common Law. The Cromwell statue, erected in 1898, is by Sir William Hamo Thornycroft, a Victorian master of heroic sculpture. Cromwell's back is to Westminster Hall, a reminder of the posthumous insult he received here. When the monarchy was restored, albeit with limited powers, the royalists took Cromwell's head out of his grave and put it on a pike atop the roof of Westminster where it was on display 1661 to 1684. Whitehall.This street takes its name from the sprawling palace that covered much of the area between the street and the river. Henry VIII took over Whitehall Palace in 1529 after evicting Cardinal Wolsey, and therein Henry followed his favorite pursuits - playing tennis for money, cockfighting and changing wives. His daughter, Elizabeth I, was taken from Whitehall for imprisonment in the Tower but returned here triumphantly as Queen after her accession. Above a modest doorway at the corner of Whitehall and Horse Guards Avenue, the sharp-eyed stroller will spot a small bust of Charles I, who was beheaded on these premises. This is the Banqueting House, built about 1620 and now the last standing remnant of Whitehall Palace. Charles passed his final hours here after being tried and condemned in Westminster Hall by the Cromwell Government for causing ''bloody wars, treasons, murders, rapines, burnings, spoils, desolations, damage and mischief to the nation.'' About 2 P.M. on Jan. 30, 1649, after fortifying himself with claret, Charles stepped through a window of the Banqueting House onto an elevated scaffold. ''I go from a corruptible to an incorruptible crown, where no disturbance can be,'' he said. He put his head on the block and calmly extended an arm to signal that he was ready to receive the ax. The executioner displayed the severed head to the crowd with a churlish cry:

By Zack Albert, USA TODAY
The Nextel Cup tour has made five annual stops at Chicagoland Speedway ahead of Sunday's USG Sheetrock 400, but there are plenty of results available for cross-reference, thanks to the track-construction boom of the last 10 years.
Chicagoland, based in suburban Joliet, Ill., made its first splash on the stock car scene in 2001. Its debut came in the same season Kansas Speedway bowed on the schedule of NASCAR's premier series and occurred three years after Las Vegas Motor Speedway was granted a Cup race date.
The common thread: All three facilities bear similar 1.5-mile D-shaped layouts.
Why the similarities? Chalk it up to the cookie-cutter, copycat phenomenon of track managements sticking with what they think works (or what others have done before them). Only the test of time will tell if, in 20 or 30 years, fans look upon these facilities with the same ennui as has been directed toward the multipurpose baseball parks of the 1960s and '70s, several of which are now out of service. Was building a short track out of the question in these new locales? But I digress ...
The fantasy angle, though, allows NASCAR fans to make lemonade from the track owners' lemons. Fantasy players can not only read up on their notes for Chicagoland but can put lessons learned from Kansas and Vegas to good use.
Other points worth a ponder:
• Fords have won two of the last 15 Nextel Cup races and have never graced victory lane in Chicago. (Oops, check that: Fireball Roberts drove a Ford to first place at Soldier Field in 1956. No kidding.) History notwithstanding, Roush Racing's five-car assault should contend in Joliet.
• Qualifying results seem to matter little in the final rundown at Chicagoland. The winners' starting positions through the years: sixth, 32nd, 14th, 10th and 25th. Fantasy players should make their final start/bench decisions without paying qualifying too much mind.
• Because Chicagoland is in its infancy, the racing surface is in a breaking-in phase, which can limit side-by-side racing. Fantasy players should direct their lineup choices toward teams with savvy crew chiefs, who can gain ground on the track with their calls in the pits.
With all that info stowed under the rear deck lid, here are this week's fantasy NASCAR fast picks:
Tony Stewart: A dominant Daytona International Speedway victory last July helped launch an astounding 5-for-7 winning tear on the way to the Nextel Cup crown. Could Stewart's convincing triumph Saturday night in the Pepsi 400 spark a similar midsummer roll on the same tracks? Here's hoping so. The Joe Gibbs Racing star has a run of four consecutive top-five finishes at Chicagoland, including a victory in this race in 2004.
Jimmie Johnson: After a rough-and-tumble Saturday night, Johnson left Daytona with a looser grip on the points lead. But Chicagoland should bring better things — the Hendrick Motorsports driver hasn't won there, but he's been fourth or better in four efforts at the Illinois track. Johnson also has a Las Vegas victory to his credit this year.
Matt Kenseth: The Roush team's front-runner has made it difficult to exclude him from fantasy lineups this season, leading laps in 12 of the 17 races and usually turning those efforts into consistent finishes. Last year in this race, Kenseth led 176 of the 267 laps before running second to Dale Earnhardt Jr. That showing, combined with his stout track record at Vegas, has optimism rising in the No. 17 camp.
Clint Bowyer: Lastly, a rookie for a dark-horse pick. Bowyer's entry from the ever-improving Richard Childress Racing stable is led by crew chief Gil Martin, who helped guide Kevin Harvick to a Chicagoland victory in 2002. Save for a breakout performance at Phoenix International Raceway this season, Bowyer has been partially obscured in the first-year shadows cast by star-in-the-making Denny Hamlin. This might be a chance to peek out.
Honorable mention: Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Brian Vickers, Greg Biffle, Jamie McMurray, Earnhardt, Mark Martin, Ryan Newman, Hamlin, Robby Gordon.
David Stremme: If Hamlin's shadow has made fantasy players overlook Bowyer among the rookie crop, it's kept Stremme fully in the dark. The first-year Chip Ganassi Racing driver ran 16th Saturday at Daytona to register his best finish of the season. That so-so outing aside, Stremme has finished 25th or worse in 13 of the 16 events he has run this year.
Elliott Sadler: The No. 38 driver has been at his most competitive at Daytona, which has spawned his only two top-five finishes of the season. Outside of the Florida superspeedway, it's been hit or miss on handling for Sadler in particular and Robert Yates Racing in general. Sadler has yet to lead more than one lap in any race this season save for those at Daytona or similar Talladega Superspeedway.
Jeff Green: Unlike Stremme, Green has plenty of Nextel Cup experience. Like Stremme, he's still searching for that first top-10 finish of the season. If anything, Green is best used as a deep third option at Lowe's and Texas motor speedways, 1.5-mile tracks that have different characteristics than Chicagoland.
Dishonorable mention:Bobby Labonte, Dale Jarrett, Ken Schrader, Sterling Marlin, Joe Nemechek.
Pit notes: Rarely has forgetfulness been so richly rewarded. Fantasy players who neglected to adjust their lineups and perhaps remove Boris Said after the June 25 road-course race at Infineon Raceway were pleasantly surprised by his pole-winning qualifying run the next week at Daytona. Those who were bold enough (or forgetful enough) to start him were treated to the best finish of his career outside of a road course — a stunning fourth-place effort with laps led. Said plans to enter at least two more events this year, including the remaining road race on the schedule at Watkins Glen International. With help supplied from the Roush bunch, Said could be worth a second look at ovals in the near future. ... After the race at Daytona, there was no dramatic change at the cut line as no drivers moved in or dropped out of the top 35 in car owners points. Among those outside the top 35 who are guaranteed starting spots for Chicagoland (and those needing solid qualifying runs to make the field): Stremme, Travis Kvapil, Michael Waltrip, Scott Wimmer and Kevin Lepage.

Honda, GM Score High Value Points
In an annual survey which attempts to measure whether consumers think they got their money's worth in the first 90 days of new auto ownership, Honda topped the survey with best full-line automaker and GM grabbed kudos in four segments, setting it apart as the only domestic automaker with top vehicle scores. , on the other hand, slipped from a seven segment winner in 2005 to only a three segment winner in the 2006 Strategic Vision's Vehicle Value survey, the Detroit News reports.
Honda led the survey with top honors in the small car segment with the Civic, the compact pickup segment with the Ridgeline, top mid-specialty car with the , and top medium crossover with the Pilot.
Hyundai's Kia Optima captured the top medium car slot and their Azera won the larger car segment while the Sedona rated the top minivan slot. The Hyundai Tucson tied with GM's as top sport-utility vehicles.
GM, in addition to its tie for small SUV, had segment leaders with the Chevrolet Corvette (small specialty over $25,000), the Corvette convertible (convertible over $30,000), and the Chevrolet Silverado (heavy-duty pickup).
Strategic Vision surveyed more than 64,000 people who purchased new vehicles from October 2005 to March 2006. Participants were questioned after 90 days of ownership

Stan's NoTubes Flow EX 29in Boost Wheelset
Stan's NoTubes' Flow rim has been redesigned, getting wider with a new bead that ultimately increases its strength and stiffness. The Flow EX 29in Boost Wheelset has also been blessed by the gods of girth with Boost 110 and 148mm hubs. The result is a wider spoke bracing angle to match the wider rims, making an even stiffer interface for confident tracking up front and efficient hammer dropping in the rear. The redesigned Flow's Boosted girth makes what was once the strongest rim in the Stan's stable even stronger. In addition to their wider footprint, the new Flow EX rims also have reinforced sidewalls and spoke beds and are built with Stan's Bead Socket Technology BST tubeless system. The reinforcement contributes further to rigidity and the venerable BST remains the standard for tubeless rims. The wider rimhub platform is the big story, though. In addition to the stiffness gains noted above, the Flow EX Boost wheels' internal width of 25. 5mm also allows the tire to sit fatter than on a narrower rim, permitting a tighter rim to tire seal and increasing the size of the tire's contact patch with the ground. That means greater traction while climbing, cornering, or punching it across terrain. The fat rims' fat hubs are Stan's all new Neo hubs, whose four pawls correspond with 36 points of contact for a respectable 10 degree engagement angle. While this is less responsive than the five degree engagement of Stan's Neo Ultimate hubs, we find that the Neo base model sits a bit better on the bank account without altering trail feel for all but the most worldly World Cuppers. Stan's also opted for chromium bearings instead of stainless. Chromium is harder, which makes for longer lasting bearings as long as they're kept out of the elements. Since the Neo hubs' bearings are sealed this isn't an issue. Finally, the hubs' tall flanges further widen the already Boosted spoke bracing angle for even more stiffness.

Fulfillment Services LLC Alex Mikan, Ian Barrow Refused to pay me for a months work. Helena Montana
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was contacted by email for a work from home job inspecting packages. I signed an agreement they sent stating I would be paid $2000.00 per month with a bonus equal to that for meeting all deadlines. I worked for 1 month, meeting all deadlines. When I questioned when I would receive a pay check I was told it was in the mail and I would receive it the next Tuesday.
Needless to say I did not received it, I phoned and emailed several times and received no responses.
I knew something was off about this from the begining but they were not asking me for money so I decided to try it. Just proves, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
