MySQL distributions include a set of test cases and programs for running them. These tools constitute the MySQL test framework that provides a means for verifying that MySQL Server and its client programs operate according to expectations. The test cases consist mostly of SQL statements, but can also use test language constructs that control how to run tests and verify their results. As of MySQL 5.1, distributions also provide facilities for running unit tests and creating new unit tests.
This document describes the components of the MySQL test framework, how the test programs work, and the language used for writing test cases. It also provides a tutorial for developing test cases and executing them.
The version of the test framework described here is 1.0, included with MySQL up to version 5.1.31. For version 5.1.32 and higher, please refer to the docs for version 2.0 of the test framework.
The application that runs the test suite is named
mysql-test-run.pl. Its location is the
mysql-test directory, which is present both in
source and binary MySQL Server distributions.
There are actually two scripts for running the test suite. The mysql-test-run.pl Perl script is the main application used to run the test suite. It invokes mysqltest to run individual test cases. Prior to MySQL 4.1, a similar shell script, mysql-test-run, can be used instead. mysql-test-run.pl is the script name used in discussion and examples throughout this document. If you are using a version of MySQL older than MySQL 4.1, substitute mysql-test-run appropriately.
The mysql-test-run.pl application starts MySQL servers, restarts them as necessary when a specific test case needs different start arguments, and presents the test result. For each test case, mysql-test-run.pl invokes the mysqltest program (also referred to as the "test engine") to read the test case file, intepret the test language constructs, and send SQL statements to the server.
Input for each test case is stored in a file, and the expected result from running the test is stored in another file. The expected result can be compared to the actual result produced by running a test to verify proper processing of the input by MySQL.
For a MySQL source distribution,
mysql-test-run.pl is located in the
mysql-test directory, and
mysqltest is located in the
client directory. The
mysql-test and
directories are located in the root directory of the distribution.
For a MySQL binary distribution,
mysql-test-run.pl is located in the
mysql-test directory, and
mysqltest is located in the same directory where
other client programs such as mysql or
mysqladmin are installed. The locations of the
mysql-test and
directories depend on the layout used for the distribution format.
Within the
mysql-test directory, test case
input files and result files are stored in the
t and
r directories,
respectively. The input and result files have the same basename,
which is the test name, but have extensions of
.test and
respectively. For example, for a test named "decimal,"
the input and result files are
mysql-test/t/decimal.test and
Each test file is referred to as one test case, but usually consists of a sequence of related tests. An unexpected failure of a single statement in a test case makes the test fail.
There are several ways a test case can fail:
The mysqltest test engine checks the result codes from executing each SQL statement in the test input. If the failure is unexpected, the test case fails.
A test case can fail if an error was expected but did not occur (for example, if an SQL statement succeeded when it should have failed).
The test case can fail by producing incorrect output. As a test runs, it produces output (the results from
SHOW, and other statements). This output is compared to the expected result found in the
mysql-test/rdirectory (in a file with a
.resultsuffix). If the expected and actual results differ, the test case fails. The actual test result is written to a file in the
mysql-test/rdirectory with a
.rejectsuffix, and the difference between the
.rejectfiles is presented for evaluation.
This method of checking test results puts some restrictions on how test cases can be written. For example, the result cannot contain information that varies from run to run, such as the current time. However, if the information that varies is unimportant for test evaluation, there are ways to instruct the test engine to replace those fields in the output with fixed values.
Because the test cases consist mostly of SQL statements in a text file, there is no direct support for test cases that are written in C, Java, or other languages. Such tests are not within the scope of this test framework. But the framework does support executing your own scripts and initiating them with your own data. Also, a test case can execute an external program, so in some respects the test framework can be extended for uses other than testing SQL statements.

He said after the 2-0 victory: "We had some great players but above all we are a team that can depend on one another.
"At the beginning we had some slight difficulties but the team gave us the hope and the confidence."
Valencia have already won the Spanish title and Benitez said: "This has been a great season and we will set new targets for the next one."
Benitez admitted the 45th-minute sending-off of Fabien Barthez had helped change the game in his side's favour.
But he denied that it was harsh to effectively penalise Marseille twice with the red card for his foul on Mista, and the penalty from which Vicente opened the scoring.
Benitez added: "From the bench I expected a penalty and a red card because it was a very clear goalscoring opportunity.
"It was such a clear chance that it deserved the punishment that it got."

As a member of the Baseball Blogger Alliance (BBA) there are a variety of tasks that are asked of the members every year. As the beginning of the season approaches, Daniel Shoptaw, the founder of the BBA, asked the members of the Twins chapter of the BBA to answer a few questions about the offseason and the coming year. Mr. Shoptaw will be posting the responses of the other Twins members later this week at C70 At The Bat.
Below you will find my responses to the questions that he asked:
C70: What was your opinion of the Minnesota offseason?
NoDak Twins Fan: I feel that most Twins fans were disappointed in seeing a lot of the Twins' bullpen exit for greener pastures. The Twins are capable of using many of their internal options to fill their bullpen roles. The best thing about this offseason might have been the fact that the Twins didn't have to deal with Joe Mauer's contract. By having that distraction out of the way, the Twins were able to focus on other endeavors. The addition of Tsuyoshi Nishioka has a lot of fans excited this offseason. His addition to the middle infield could go a long way to helping the Twins to a third straight Central Division title.
C70: Did Delmon Young finally take a step last year or was it a mirage?
NoDak Twins Fan: Entering last season Delmon Young seemed to give fans the impression that he was ready to make the next step. He came into Spring Training in the best shape of his life and that translated into a monster year for the Twins' leftfielder. He needs to show the Twins that he is capable of sustaining this production if he wants to continue to be part of the organization. The Twins have a lot of young outfield prospects (Ben Revere, Joe Benson, and Aaron Hicks) that are chomping at the bit to be part of the major league club. It will be great to see if Young can reproduce his production from last season, especially if Mauer and Morneau are also healthy and part of the middle of the line-up.
C70: What are the expectations for Joe Nathan this year?
NoDak Twins Fan: Nathan is proving this spring that he is capable of being the closer again this season. The Twins are going to be more cautious with him and I think this is the right approach. Matt Capps provides some insurance for the Twins in the closer role. All indications point to Nathan getting around 2/3rd's of the save opportunities with Capps getting the other 1/3rd. Nathan has dealt with a shoulder surgery in the past and recovering from that has allowed him to be more focused when it comes to this current recovery. With Nathan back to his normal form this season, the rest of the chaos in the bullpen might be easier to smooth out.
C70: Is there a Twins prospect that will make a significant impact this season?
NoDak Twins Fan: The Twins have a surplus of starting pitching at the moment, but the one prospect that is most ready to make an impact at the major league level is also a starting pitcher. Kyle Gibson is the most major league ready player in the Twins organization. From college to the minor leagues, he has shown that he is on the fast track to make his mark at the major league level. The biggest question might be how the Twins will make room for him in a jam packed rotation. If any of the Twins starting pitchers struggle at the beginning of the season, Gibson will be making his major league debut sooner rather than later.
C70: What is your prediction on Minnesota's record and divisional finish?
NoDak Twins Fan: There are so many question marks that currently plague the Twins and their run for a third straight Central Division title. Morneau's health, Mauer's knee, an unproven bullpen, and a revamped middle infield are all areas that need to work out in favor of the Twins for the team to be successful. Even with obstacles to overcome, the Twins always seem to find themselves in the heat of the pennant race at the end of the year. The White Sox and Tigers have also bulked up to try and take down the Twins. The Twins will be fighting for the title but will fall a few games short at the end of the year. A total of 88 wins and a 2nd place finish will be the Twins' fate in 2011.


text: With a loose plan and 4 days off a friend and I set off to ride as much of the old Kettle Valley Railway (and Columbia and Western Railway) as possible. I was fascinated by the history, and sheer magnitude of the work involved, creating this rail line through the rugged landscape. For a brief history check out this link: http://www.bcadventure.com/adventure/explore/ok/trails/kettle.htm DAY 1: We departed Calgary and burned pavement south on Hwy 22 and east on Hwy 3 to Castlegar. We set Up Camp at; http://www.castlegarrvpark.com/, just south of the town on Hwy 3 (up the hill on the left about 4 km. from the lights at Columbia Avenue.) The owner was good about directions to the trailhead at the north end of town. To find it go north on Columbia Avenue from the junction of hwy. 3 (there is a Chevron gas station on the Corner). At the bridge take the ramp on the right that goes underneath to Arrow Lakes drive to Keenlyside dam. At the corner where the road turns right to the dam, stay left onto the gravel. The trail starts behind a large steel building ahead on the left. The rails run for about a few hundred yards past the entrance gate before disappearing for the duration. At Work the morning of departure, but ready to play! Quick stop at the Frank Slide on Hwy #3, smoke break for the BMW pilot. Salmo Pass late June 2010 Castlegar from the viewpoint south of town on Hwy #3. CastlegarRVpark and Campground south on Hwy#3 Just behind the office across the marsh. Night shot of the camp spot at Castlegar Playing with the camera remote after a long day of pavement pounding. DAY 2: It was easy running on the gravel roadbed that is wide enough for a Smart car or a GS adventure. There are well-maintained trestles with spectacular views of Lower Arrow Lake along the first stretch. There is even a picnic table at one wide spot with lots of room to park off the trail. The first tunnel is short and dry with good surface. The Trailhead on the north east end of Castlegar near the Keenlyside Dam. Honest Officer the sign said so... Just inside the Gate near Castlegar, the rails still there. The second tunnel is about ½ a km long, curves along its length, making it very dark. It is also very wet with water pouring down inside from the ceiling and a slippery cobblestone like surface. Great fun In other words. You pass under the highway south of the tunnel and through another tunnel. Above Arrow Lake on the KVR, beautiful in the morning. One of many trestles along Arrow lake Another gratuitous Trestle shot Excellent vantage point overlooking Lower Arrow Lake from the Kettle Vally Railway, (Columbia and Western at this point actually) Little reminders of the rail line along the way, I left it where it was taking the photo and the memory only. One of the short Tunnels on the first stretch along Arrow Lake. New guy action shot Can you see his Grin! We were having a great time. The longest tunnel on the KVR system. Dark even with high beams, very wet, water pouring down all the way through and slippery and rough. Stopped for a picture before forging ahead. A bit weird not seeing the end after already riding for a few minutes. Daylight at the end of the longest tunnel. The trail is easy until you get to a huge washout. Now that Smart Car or GS Adventure might be a bad Idea. There is a bypass built down to the left, made for bicycles. The KLR made it down and back up without too much trouble, being the lighter and pannier free of the bikes. The GS made it down to the midway point onto a little wooden bridge with somewhat more stress and difficulty. There was no way that it was making it up the 1-foot wide dirt path with the Tourtech panniers on it. The path up was steep crossed with tree roots and rocks. It had guard rails made from saplings and would have maybe just slowed the GS on its 500-foot plunge, should it fall over. I held the front brake and stepped on the rear brake while sitting on the flimsy railing while my friend took off the panniers. The GS had far more aggressive knobbies but still kept spinning out on the trail going up. The KLR had just walked up on the stock Dunlops. With the panniers sitting down on the bridge and me pushing using the racks we finally got the BMW to the top. I had been in such a hurry to go help my buddy with the GS that I had left all my gear on. Now I got to take the jacket and helmet off and clean out the dirt from all the tire spinning. At the center of the "V" shaped bypass looking north. It was steeper than it looked. Some proof before attempting the climb. Looking back down from the south side. Hands were shaking from the exertion. On the south side of the washout looking north. After a short rest and some self-congratulations we set off hoping that was the last washout. It was, and the trail was in good shape down past Farron and Paulson. There was a great variety of terrain from quiet little ponds, to valleys, seen from narrow perches high above. Don't fall down here, or stop if you don't like heights. The trail crosses a road with gates (not locked) not long before it comes to a parking lot above Christina Lake. We turned right out of the parking lot and ran down into town to hook up with Highway 3 west up to Grande Forks. Wider part of the trail, easy going at this point. Nice ponds along the path. Hwy #3 crosses above. Old Mine building on a spur next to the line. Greenwood B.C. Signage above Christina Lake were we lost the trail. A road has been built over and across it. Midway Station from the Old KVR days (a museum stand next to it). Midway B.C. right on the hwy. At Grande Forks we went north on North Forks road watching on the left for a yellow steel gate to hook up with the trail again. The trail quickly climbs up out of town to skirt the cliff side that runs along the west side of the valley. One small tunnel before the trail gets a bit more challenging. Not far from the town of Grande Forks, The trail starts right in town. For those afraid of heights it can be a bit hairy in spots. The surface gets loose and rough and a bit more overgrown. The trail between Greenwood and Midway looked wide and well maintained but the signage was very discouraging to motorcycles and we were ready for a pavement break. We jumped back on #3 and rolled into Rock Creek. After a short fuel up and navigation consult we headed out of town, north on hwy 33 to Beaverdell. We could not find a way onto the trail near Rock Creek and the place was crawling with tourists so we didn't try too hard. We linked up with the trail from the Beaverdell Station Road by the little store on the left as you come into town from the south. After you cross the river you will see a rough little path on your right that seems to go straight as the road swings left. That's it. The path skirts around a trailing pile and hooks up onto the KVR that runs north, you can't miss it. The trail is cris-crossed by logging roads and is fairly rough and overgrown. It climbs steadily and switches back on itself to gain altitude. There are a few swampy sections once you pass the Arlington Lake campground beside the trail. Just about 1 km past the campground you come to a Y where a logging road crosses. The KVR is straight ahead, concealed by the road grading and underbrush. It becomes very narrow from this point and extremely rough. Swampy sections sink holes and potholes everywhere. You won't make a lot of time on this section but it is passable, during dry weather. We came out at a wide gravel (Oakangan Falls) road. Knowing the Myra Canyon and Bellevue Park were strictly off limits, we turned left (west) and followed the signs for Penticton about 69 km. It connects with Beaverdell road and Carmi road above Penticton. We made camp just south of the city on the lake. We stayed at Banbury Green RV Park and campground that my friend knew about. It was great camping under the trees right beside Skaha Lake. Camp spot #9 at Branbury Green south of Penticton. Full Moon Rising Over Skaha Lake, Penticton,B.C. End of Part 1, more to come.

Spinning Discs Illusion
This one's too easy. Just answer which disc is turning faster, A or B? My guess goes on B! This works in a same way "Rotating Snakes" and "Rotating Snakes no.2" Illusions work.
This one's too easy. Just answer which disc is turning faster, A or B? My guess goes on B! This works in a same way "Rotating Snakes" and "Rotating Snakes no.2" Illusions work.
lettera 4 me
and A for me!!
None of them are spinning..
ya, just movement illusion
star at the text not the pic and it will move
Jay is right… neither of them are moving. Don't move your eyes, and you'll see what i mean. they only seem to be moving when you move your eyes around them.
i can see the other wheel moving if i concenterate on one …i suggest plz donot concenterate deeply..just give casual glance to A..u'll see the outer circle of B moving and vice-a-versa..good one..i must say
yeah, neigther one are actually moving. I think B turns faster though :P
they arnt moving but its the size of the patterns that make you see that 1 is turning faster, that or you only think 1 is going faster because thats what youv been told and believe! pretty cool though.
if you glance back and forth you see that and think that they are only moving when your not looking,
i need a pint
They don't move…
but if you want to put the tings like that,
try to look at the name of the illusion,
and they spin the same velocity!
Very cool illusion!
woah….. o_o
Its a wicked illusion, but none of them really spin!!
letter Z for me
If u look at A, B spins faster….
If u look at B, A spins faster
A for me…mad sickk…
i say z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well i read the little thing above slitly looking at the thingy and ether the same or A.I don't know why that girl(person who writes thingy 1.)(A)
tee- hee
obviously none of them are spinning its just a trick
but both f them are moving at the same spead
the that u fcus on more always is the on that goes faster
Both circles are static. If you cover one and examine the other, you will see that the exposed one is not moving. It is only when you look at both circles simultaneaously, that they SEEM to be spinning. It is an other instance of the brain fooling the eye, or vice verca.
none put ur mouse on either and you'll c
They are NOT spinning!
at tiems it looks like a is, but then others it looks like they are rotating at the same pace
B ovbiously
its B,Its spinning way faster.the trick is to not look directly at the letter in the middle!!try looking at the writting up top but kinda fuocus on the spinning>>HOPE THAT HELPS to thoughs who cant see them spinnin!!
Its just the same color isnt it? At least it all looks green to me.
A for me
i say b
there both the same it just doesn't look like it i'm 9 and i know how to create this illusion easilly
iv been staring at them for 10 mins now and they are not spinning!?
it is none but i am
the same
when i look to A, B moves, when I look to B, A moves but both with the same speed
i think they are the same speed
i think they are spinning at the same speed ( when you are observing the illusion aspect of it)
ok so wen you loke at A, B spins and wen you loke at B, A spins AorB dont spine wen you look at it
for me when i looked at a b moved and b a moved so they move at the same pace
a is moving just a littel bit faster.
Well when you look at the letter ( A ) The letter ( B ) slows down and vice versa and when you look at Letter ( B ) Letter ( A ) slows down so its hard to tell which is the fastest
A, for me. sometimes they rotate at the same, or very similar speed. however, it could depend on which angle you look at it, the distance, or if you're "left eyed" or "right eyed".
I'm not a scientist. Even if my formal language makes me one.
None O3O
it is one, just its different each time.
That is crazii…your mind tells you they're NOT moving, but your eyes do 10/10!!!
It depends where you look. sometimes it 'A' sometimes its 'B'
Depends where you look.
They are both spinning at the same speed.
they are moving at the same pace
P.S I love animals!!!!!! 8)
stare at the circles! NONE OF THEM ARE SPINNING!

Keeping an eye on London trains
Page Tools
Blair Healy, of Innovonics, with a digital video recorder and a driver's monitor developed for Madrid.
Wherever we look these days we manage to find innovative small Australian technology companies doing well in niche markets on the global stage.
One such company is Innovonics, which designs and manufactures closed-circuit TV systems for passenger trains. Innovonics CEO Blair Healy says providing CCTV on moving trains is much more difficult than stationary video systems because of things such as vibration, temperature, dust and electrical interference.
Mr Healy says Innovonics has superior technology to its competitors, which is why its system is the front-runner to be installed on all trains in the London underground network. "We're one of the world leaders in this technology. We did all the Melbourne trains in 2000," he says.
All that success, however, comes with associated problems, one of which, Mr Healy says, is skilled staff.
"We need a lot of new staff with skills in hardware, software and firmware," he says. "The people we're looking for would be involved in electronics design using the MPEG 4 standard. We're one of the few companies in our space that uses MPEG 4, which is ideal for IP streaming and real-time incident management."
Security for seniorsWe have written many times about the difficulties and prejudices faced by mature IT professionals in the workplace. We have also written about the scarcity of security expertise and the lack of availability of security courses in Australia. In one of those rare moments of synchronicity, we now learn that an opportunity exists for experienced older IT professionals to make their mark in one of the most in-demand segments of the industry
Dr Asha Rao, program leader, information security programs, at Melbourne's RMIT University, says the master of applied science (information security) degree at the institution requires a level of maturity that usually only comes with experience. "We are looking for the maturity of mind which is required to understand what is necessary to complete a security course," says Dr Rao. "Information security involves both technical and management skills and only mature people can grasp both of these aspects. Some of my best students are in their late 40s."
Dr Rao says the RMIT postgraduate security course, which is partially funded by the Defence Signals Directorate, is only one of two in Australia, the other being at Edith Cowan University in WA. The course covers areas such as vulnerability testing, smartcard cryptosystems, and secure e-commerce, with risk management on the curriculum in 2006.
Security graduates are expected to do well in the jobs stakes, says Dr Rao. "According to IDC figures, the security market is growing at about 8 to 9 per cent, which is about double the rest of the market."
US gain is our lossSome IT workers' advocates in the US have kicked up a stink about a new visa called the E-3, which has arisen from the US free trade agreement with Australia. The new visa gives 10,500 Australian professionals and their spouses the right to work in the US each year. Understandably, from the point of view of US IT workers, who have been up against offshore jobs and skilled immigration for the past five years, yet another source of jobs competition is not what one would describe as great news. However, there are quite a few in Australia who would argue the new visa is no great boon for our country either.
We still refuse to buy into the skills shortage hype being propagated by some in the Australian IT community but there are always some skills in short supply.
Expertise in security is an example. Whatever expertise we do have will be gladly snapped up by our friends in the US, where the pay is higher and the variety of opportunity is greater.
The IT recruitment industry appears to be divided as to whether the Australian IT industry will be harmed by the E-3 visa.
Robert Collins, CEO of Candle, and Jane Bianchini, director of the IT division of Ambition, both believe that the E-3 visa will have little effect on local skills.
"I don't think it will make a difference. There have been flows of skills in and out of Australia for a long time and the Australian Government has also opened up the country for incoming skills," says Mr Collins. Ms Bianchini adds that the number of professionals going to the US will be spread across industry sectors. In contrast, contrarian recruiter Vincent Teubler, CEO of VTR, believes the E-3 visa will lead to a net loss of intellectual property from Australia.

My recent (over the last couple of years) reading of Medieval literature and renaissance literature has taught me that to appreciate their works it is essential to approach the authors on their own terms as far as possible. This of course means that there is some reading to be done to enable one to understand something of the life and times in which the authors lived. It is also beneficial to have an understanding of etymology and of the writings and thoughts that influenced men (and some women) of letters. Approaching texts solely from a 21st century standpoint will give a different reading experience and in my view one that tells only a part of the story. Bakhtin's book on Rabelais starts from the premise that Rabelais has been seriously misunderstood by 20th century critics because they failed to engage with important aspects of life in the 16th century which shaped Rabelais magnum opus Gargantua and Pantagruel.
Rabelais and his world was Mikhail Bakhtins first book to be published in English when it appeared in 1968, it had enjoyed a stormy reception when it was first published in Russia some years earlier, but now it is considered a classic on the subject of the renaissance.
Bakhtin provided a summary of many of the essential points of his book in a sort of closing statement where he says:
"The main failure of contemporary West-European Rabelaisiana consists in the fact that it ignores folk culture and tries to fit Francois Rabelais novel into a framework of official culture, to conceive it as following the stream of "great" French literature. Because of this misinterpretation Rabelais scholars are unable to master that which is most essential in the novel..........Rabelais inherited and brought to fulfilment thousands of years of folk humour. His work is the unique key for the understanding of this culture in its most powerful, deep, and original manifestation...........While analysing past ages we are too often obliged "to take each epoch at it's word", that is to believe it's official ideologists. We do not hear the voice of the people and cannot find and decipher it's pure unmixed expression."
Just what it is that those 20th century critics missed is the subject of Bakhtin's book. Firstly they failed to take into account the importance of the culture of the carnival and the market place which were essential qualities of late medieval and Renaissance life. This culture of the carnival was based on laughter and laughter to some extent alleviated the fear of day to day existence and certainly the fear of God that was an essential part of religious life. This second life outside of the world of officialdom was used extensively in Gargantua and Pantegruel by Rabelais and failure to understand this culture which Bakhtin calls folk culture makes it impossible to understand 16th century literature and Rabelais in particular. Bakhtin says that by using grotesque realism Rabelais was able to present a contradictory and double faced portrait of renaissance life, a life that consisted both of official and folk culture and Bakhtin backs up his thesis with plenty of examples from both Gargantua and Pantegruel. Another essential element of Rabelais ideas is his use of grotesque realism, which includes exaggerated images of bodily functions and is not just a list of vulgarities but goes further; laying stress on their regenerative powers. The outlook for mankind is optimistic despite all the filth and crap that surrounds us, because it is precisely from this that we are reborn. Secondly critics have failed to take into account Rabelais' use of words and the changing face of the language in the sixteenth century. Rabelais wrote Gargantua and Pantegruel in the vernacular (earlier it they would have been written in Latin) but it was at a time when the vernacular was undergoing substantial change. Bakhtin points out that Rabelais use of language was unique especially his usage of words gathered from the market place, that would never have been written down before. From Bakhtins perspective Rabelais was a unique chronicler of his life and times and for this reason alone he is an important force in world literature.
The whole story of Rabelais and his importance is probably not told in Bakhtin's book, however it would seem to me that an essential part of that story is here and it is a part that has not been understood properly previously. It is a book of ideas and as such is worth reading by anybody interested in Rabelais and certainly anybody interested in the renaissance. I have still to read Gargantua and Pantegruel and at over a 1000 pages in the penguin classics edition they are not tomes that I would want to re-read anytime soon and so having Bakhtin's thoughts in my head, will I am sure enhance my reading experience. [Rabelais and his world] has been translated by Helene Iswolsky, which is very readable, the book itself can be a little repetitive but when dealing with such original ideas on a subject, it is good to have those thoughts re-stated in ways that add to our understanding and I found that Bakhtin achieves this with his summaries that appear throughout the book. An impressive work that goes beyond literary criticism and takes the reader into the realms of reinterpreting a period of history that is original and thought provoking. A 4.5 star read.
Grows repetitive pretty quickly.
A Cultura Popular na Idade Média e no Renascimento, de Bakhtin, pode ser vista como uma História do Riso, um estudo abrangente e profundo das percepções de humor e como elas geraram a obra de Rabelais.
Além disso, o livro apresenta vários conceitos que foram utilizados na crítica de outros livros, notoriamente nos romances de Dostoiévski, sobre quem Bakhtin escreveu Problemas na Poética de Dostoiévski.
This is Bakhtin at his best. His deep examination of the carnivalesque and the grotesque in Rabelais's work sheds great light on contemporary works of the bodily, for example Gravity's Rainbow. Not for the faint of heart, or the slight of mind, this is critical theory at its most critical.
Amazing book.

Open Access to Scientific Papers May Not Guarantee Wide Dissemination
New research challenges assumption that having research published in open access journals and other free sources leads to more exposure and citations
View an interview with James Evans, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Chicago.
If you offer something of value to people for free while someone else charges a hefty sum of money for the same type of product, one would logically assume that most people would choose the free option. According to new research in today's edition of the journal Science, if the product in question is access to scholarly papers and research, that logic might just be wrong. These findings provide new insight into the nature of scholarly discourse and the future of the open source publication movement.
Most research is published in scientific journals and reviews, and subscriptions to these outlets have traditionally cost money--in some cases a great deal of money. Publishers must cover the costs of producing peer-reviewed publications and in most cases also try to turn a profit. To access these publications, other scholars and researchers must either be able to afford subscriptions or work at institutions that can provide access.
In recent years, as the Internet has helped lower the cost of publishing, more and more scientists have begun publishing their research in open source outlets online. Since these publications are free to anyone with an Internet connection, the belief has been that more interested readers will find them and potentially cite them. Earlier studies had postulated that being in an open source format could more than double the number of times a journal article is used by other researchers.
To test this theory, James A. Evans, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, and Jacob Reimer, a student of neurobiology also at the University of Chicago, analyzed millions of articles available online, including those from open source publications and those that required payment to access.
The results were surprising. On average, when a given publication was made available online after being in print for a year, being published in an open source format increased the use of that article by about 8 percent. When articles are made available online in a commercial format a year after publication, however, usage increases by about 12 percent.
"Across the scientific community," Evans said in an interview, "it turns out that open access does have a positive impact on the attention that's given to the journal articles, but it's a small impact."
Yet Evans and Reimer's research also points to one very positive impact of the open source movement that is sometimes overlooked in the debate about scholarly publications. Researchers in the developing world, where research funding and libraries are not as robust as they are in wealthier countries, were far more likely to read and cite open source articles.
The University of Chicago team concludes that outside the developed world, the open source movement "widens the global circle of those who can participate in science and benefit from it."
So while some scientists and scholars may chose to pay for scientific publications even when free publications are available, their colleagues in other parts of the world may find that going with open source works is the only choice they have.

A year ago, over nearly four hours, a group of men aged between 15 and 25 rampaged across west London armed with sticks, knives and batons, their faces covered with masks.
The group was made up of members of the Ladbroke Blood gang and the Lisson Green Men, who had put aside their differences to carry out the criminality. They attacked a shopkeeper, a lone police officer, punched a passerby, looted businesses, set fire to mopeds and stormed the Ledbury, a Michelin two-starred restaurant and haunt of celebrities. The story of the night – of the courage by Ledbury staff, who can be seen in previously unreleased CCTV footage chasing the mob with brooms from the cleaning cupboard – can only now be told in full following the conclusion of a spate of court cases.
It involved a violent attack on a shopkeeper not previously detailed in the extensive coverage of the worst urban disorder this country has ever seen.
Mohammed Haroon was beaten repeatedly about the head with a champagne bottle by Kalen Hinds in an attack which was captured on a CCTV camera the police had installed into his shop in order to keep him safe. In the footage which has now been released, he is seen cowering in the corner of his Super Save shop in Westbourne Park Road surrounded by youths, and Hinds – who was jailed on Wednesday for nine years - is clearly visible battering him with the bottle.
"They hit me so many times. I was very scared," Mr Haroon told Channel 4 News. "I think they were trying to kill me. After that attack I became dizzy and I left the shop. I went out and called the police. The police didn't pick up."
8.30pm Ben Kelleher, prosecuting, told the court the violence began at 8.30pm in the Queensway area of west London. "The evidence is based principally on the identification of individuals from CCTV," he said.
Other evidence included fingerprints linking Travis Williams-Carter to the scene and DNA which linked three other defendants to the criminality.
The first target of the 50-strong group was the Whiteleys shopping centre. The group then moved on to Queensway, where Maplins was smashed open, and £3,000 worth of electronic goods were taken. There was then what the court heard was a lull in the violence, as police managed to quell it. But the second phase took place with more extreme rioting and looting.
9.57pm Evidence from footage taken from passersby shows scooters being damaged and a van driver being attacked as the group is seen heading in the direction of Notting Hill.
10pm The gang attack the Gala Casino. CCTV shows staff attempting to barricade the doors with a sofa, but the youths force it open and around five go inside. Staff are assaulted, one suffering a broken arm from a flying kick. Minutes later the shoe shop Office on Queensway was attacked, and around £1,800 of stock was looted. DNA matching that of defendant Ali Abdul Waga was later found in blood on the floor just inside the shop window.
10.30pm Members of the two gangs are seen gathering in CCTV footage on Great Western Road. Moments later a pizza delivery rider is pulled off his scooter and beaten up. His bike is set alight. A bus is then pelted with bricks and bottles, smashing the windscreen and injuring the driver.
Shortly afterwards 11 people inside the Bumpkin restaurant on Westbourne Park Road a short distance away were rushed upstairs as staff saw the group of youths approaching.
"The attackers smashed all of the windows and forced open the side door," said Kelleher. "About 20 individuals ran inside and proceeded to smash objects in the restaurant and steal bottles from behind the bar."
10.35pm Mohammed Haroon was working alone at the Super Save supermarket on Westbourne Park Road and was in the process of closing the shutters when one of the gang – Dean Burke – asked him for a Ribena. CCTV footage shows a youth putting his foot in the door to stop Haroon shutting the men out.
"He tried to close the door, but he was forced back by some of the gang who then entered the shop," said Kelleher. "As they did so, Kalen Hinds struck Mr Haroon repeatedly over the head with a bottle."
Haroon suffered lacerations to his head and cuts, he was treated later in hospital. "It was more by luck than destiny that he didn't suffer much more serious injuries," the judge said. "He has been so adversely affected that he cannot work in the off-licence any more and it will take some considerable time for him to recover from the psychological trauma, if he ever does."
Minutes later, further west on Portobello Road, black cab driver Barry Keagan was surrounded by some of the mob, who tried and failed to force him out. The rear window of his cab was smashed by a flying bottle as he escaped.
Office was ransacked and trainers worth £1,000 were stolen. As he ran out of the shop, television historian Dan Snow tackled Karl Jenson to the ground and later handed him over to the police.
10.40pm Armed with bottles and sticks, some of the group burst into the Ledbury restaurant shouting "get down on the floor" to the 30 diners who are then systematically robbed of jewellery and money. "Some of the kitchen staff then confronted the gang and they left soon after," said Kelleher.
11.30pm The rioting continued taking in more pubs and shops. One member of the public was punched in the face, and a police officer, Derren Hopkinson, was attacked as he sat alone in his car while trying to retrieve shields and riot gear from Kensington police station. Two bottles hit him in the face and a metal grill was thrown into the car at him while the attackers laughed.
In a statement read to court he said: "I have never been so scared in my life, I was alone and finding it difficult to get emergency assistance." As police reinforcements began to arrive, the gang broke up and some were rounded up over the next days and weeks after being identified on CCTV footage and through DNA and fingerprint evidence.

I did thermage to address loose skin and jowels. Luckily, the procedure did nothing more than lighten my wallet.
I know someone who lost facial fat from this procedure, and now looks much older and very drawn. Any procedure that can remove fat does not belong near your face!!! The doctor agreed that I had no result, and offered to re-do my trouble spots. No thanks. I'll pass.

Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ), Chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government-Sponsored Enterprises, issued the following statement today after introducing the Protecting American Taxpayers and Homeowners Act (PATH Act), H.R. 2767, a bill that would create a sustainable housing finance system.
"Approximately five years ago our nation was hit with an unprecedented financial crisis. Today, I am pleased to be introducing legislation that continues the process of addressing the core cause of it--the government's misguided efforts at allocating mortgage credit through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
"The federal government's domination of the housing finance market has left taxpayers on the hook for $5.1 trillion in mortgage guarantees. The PATH Act finally takes control away from Washington bureaucrats and allows the American people the freedom to have more choices in determining which mortgage best suits their needs.
"I want to thank Chairman Hensarling and my colleagues on the House Financial Services Committee for their continued leadership and assistance in reaching out to Members of Congress and industry stakeholders to help incorporate many of the ideas and suggestions that others had to offer.
"The PATH Act will finally end the largest bailout in history and will put our country back on a path to a sustainable housing finance market that benefits both taxpayers and homebuyers. I urge its swift passage by Congress and look forward to it being signed by the President."

Meet Mamie Kirkland, (almost) 105
Less than 5 feet tall, Mamie Kirkland is tall in esteem and long in years.
The East Delavan Avenue resident has lived in Buffalo for 90 years, and on Saturday she celebrated her upcoming 105th birthday with a party in Schiller Park Senior Center on Genesee Street.
Decked out in a silver jacket, a silver-sequined hat and sparkly shoes for her birthday party, Kirkland greeted just about everyone who arrived with a hug and a kiss.
Set to turn 105 on Tuesday, Kirkland is still very sharp. She doesn't need a phone book or a computer. Her family's phone numbers are stored in her mind.
"At 105, she definitely demonstrates enthusiasm, spirit, joy of living," said Kirkland's oldest daughter, Juanita Hunter, professor emeritus at University at Buffalo's School of Nursing.
Mamie Kirkland – the matriarch of a five-generation family – was born in 1908 in Ellisville, Miss.
It was the same year that Mother's Day was observed for the first time and the first Gideon Bible was put into a hotel room. Orville Wright made the world's first flight lasting longer than one hour, and Puyi – the last emperor of China – ascended to the throne at age 2. Jack Johnson became the first African-American heavyweight boxing champion, and Henry Ford built the first Model T car, which sold for $825.
And it all happened in her first year of life. Since then, she has journeyed through more than 10 decades and its many changes.
"She has seen so many transitions in the world: the end of the Jim Crow era, racism, her family chased by the Ku Klux Klan," said Mamie Kirkland's only living son, Tarabu, who lives in Los Angeles, where Mamie Kirkland spends the winter months.
One of her most vivid childhood memories is when her family narrowly escaped the Ku Klux Klan in the middle of the night, when Klan members went on midnight raids, randomly burning homes throughout segregated neighborhoods of East St. Louis, Mo., according to Hunter.
Kirkland's father was a minister.
"He came home one night and announced he had to go because the Klan was after him," said Kirkland, who was about 7 at the time.
"I remember it like it was yesterday," she added.
The family was gathered up, and they boarded a train to Alliance, Ohio, where they found refuge with relatives.
Even though the family had successfully escaped to Ohio, they hadn't left the racism behind, Tarabu said: Klansmen burned crosses on the front lawn of the family's home.
But there were some good memories of Ohio. It's where she met her future husband, Albert.
"He was a good-looking, tall man," said Kirkland, who was 15 when she and Albert got married.
It lasted for decades.
"35 years, three months and 16 days," she said.
Albert died in 1959, said Hunter, one of the couple's nine children.
Along with Hunter and Tarabu, daughters Jeanette Clinton, Margaret and Beatrice, who lives in California, are still alive.
In addition, Kirkland has 17 grandchildren, including former Buffalo Community Services Commissioner Donald O. Allen Sr.; 24 great-grandchildren; 70 great-great-grandchildren; and nine great-great-great-grandchildren.
In 1995, at age 87, Kirkland was named one of the "Magnificent Seven," an award created by Coordinated Care to honor citizens throughout Western New York who exemplify successful aging.
As part of the recognition, she was featured in the company's former publication, "Prime Time Seasoned Citizens."
An active member of First Shiloh Baptist church for more than 70 years, she also is the congregation's longest-standing member.
She credits her faith in God with sustaining her through the years.
"He's been keeping me going," she said.
State Sen. Timothy M. Kennedy, D-Buffalo, was on hand for the birthday party Saturday, and he presented her a proclamation designating Sept. 3, 2013, as Mamie Kirkland Day.

This is the main road along the West Coast so the detour is a lengthy one via Wanaka.
Transit New Zealand will be the updating agency re length of closure.

WITH Petero Civoniceva already out of tonight's match through suspension, Brisbane were yesterday dealt another blow losing bench front rower Scott Anderson with a back injury.
Broncos coach Anthony Griffin named Anderson on the bench on Tuesday but was yesterday forced to call in Nick Slyney, formerly of North Queensland, to make his club debut.
Parramatta will be without fullback Jarryd Hayne and centre recruit Willie Tonga. Tim Mannah and Reni Maitua trained with the team yesterday and are expected to retain their positions, with Taulima Tautai to drop off the five-man bench.
Melbourne will have their final session today before travelling to the nation's capital for their clash against the Raiders tomorrow night. Rory Kostjasyn has been named to play in the NSW Cup and is expected to drop off a six-man Storm bench, so too Sisa Waqa. Canberra will be 1-17.
Canterbury have no injury concerns ahead of tomorrow's clash against the Panthers, with Josh Reynolds confirmed to start at five-eighth. Penrith coach Ivan Cleary is expected to omit two players from the bench today.
The Cowboys' Brent Tate is in doubt for the derby against Gold Coast, considered a 50-50 chance of playing tomorrow night.
Manly will take 18 players to Auckland for the grand final rematch against the Warriors, but Jorge Taufua is most likely to be omitted from the bench. For the Warriors, Krisnan Inu and Glen Fishiiahi are both tipped to miss out, while Alehana Mara and Ben Henry are still in a battle for the final bench spot.
Cronulla skipper Paul Gallen has recovered from a stomach bug and will play against Wests Tigers on Sunday. Andrew Fifita has a back problem and is in doubt. Tigers coach Tim Sheens had not finalised his bench by yesterday.
Fetuli Talanoa and Neccrom Areaiiti are expected to drop off the bench for South Sydney on Monday night. Tautau Moga may make a shock appearance for Sydney Roosters but is almost certain to wait to make his NRL debut.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/7/2014 (1110 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Better to learn Spanish
Regarding the story "Parents Push For Expanded French Immersion," from June 27's Brandon Sun. Spanish would be far more beneficial to learn as it is used far more worldwide and rapidly gaining popularity in Canada. French will never be popular in Western Canada.
Bring back the cane
If it is proven that the fire at the Criddle/Vane homestead was caused from vandals ... catch them ... and then the cane! Many of us would volunteer to wield the cane.
Flaunting sexual orientation brings on trouble
Regarding the story in the paper, "Gay Hate Crimes More Likely To Involve Violence, StatsCan Says," from June 27. Flaunting their sexual orientation with parades and open celebrations will only encourage reaction from non-believers and radicals.
Enough to send me back to Winnipeg
Brandon Sun + Mayor bashing = Time to move back to Winnipeg. I have just about had it! I have been out here for nine years now and it is the same old same old with you people.
Kudos to Hextall and Quenneville
I would like to congratulate a childhood friend of mine for being promoted by the Philadelphia Flyers. It is always nice to see a Manitoba-born player being promoted so high. I congratulate Ron Hextall and I am sure he will do a very good job with them in the future. And also kudos to John Quenneville. Something so deserving for the Wheat Kings and for the Westman community.
Rising taxes just can't continue
I finally got around to reviewing my property tax bill and after some quick calculations I realized since 2011 my taxes — school and city — have gone up an average of 24 per cent each year in the last three. That is crazy! An in-depth audit of both the city and the Brandon school division spending habits needs to be done.

Although an offer is rumored to be imminent, there appears to be an upper management split at CBS concerning the hiring of Katie Couric as anchor for the "Evening News." According to Drudge, even though CBS President Les Moonves is "convinced Katie Couric is the right person for the job," this is "despite warnings from top management that the move could have lackluster results."
What makes them feel this way? "Nervous executives at CBS have been examining tapes of Couric from August 2001 -- and nitpicking her performance -- when she substituted for a vacationing Tom Brokaw."
Apparently, their findings weren't very positive:
"'Politely put, it's just not there,' warned a top CBS suit, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"'Look, why do you think NBC passed her over for Brian Williams? They can say she was worth more to them in the mornings, but I really think it came down to how she came off in the [anchor] chair.
"'She is not identified with CBS, and she is not identified with 'news'... it will be an uphill challenge for her here. Maybe Les will have her doing the news on a couch.'"
This person wasn't alone in his views:
"'Look we are only 600,000 viewers away from catching and passing ABC, I maintain now is not the time for this,' explained one executive, who would work daily with Couric if she made the move.
"'I am not being sexist here,' said a third Couric detractor at CBS NEWS, who also spoke on condition he not be named. 'I am looking at all of this with a very open mind. But I am worried.'"
So am I. Coffee just won't taste the same in the morning without Katie.

Following several Guangdong officials' recent weak [1] displays of intent to publicly declare their family assets, Xinhua yesterday writes [2] that the plan, meant to stem growing public anger at systemic corruption, will be launched as previously announced [3] in three trial locations in Guangdong following the Lunar New Year holiday.
What has remained unclear until now is how far the transparency efforts will reach, and whether personal assets will be declared internally or made accessible to the public.
According to Xinhua, the personal assets of the hundreds of cadres taking part in the experiment will be published online and in addition to official salaries, bonuses, fixed "subsidies" and all other income, will include property holdings, investments and details of automobiles owned by the family.
Officials in the three test locations have already declared this information internally, Xinhua said, and it is being analysed and prepared for the public now.

The North Suncoast is losing its top volleyball coach, again.
Fivay's Linda McQuade has resigned as head coach after the best season in the program's brief history, she said Friday afternoon.
"I thought we did a great job moving the team into the playoffs," McQuade said, "and it would be a good opportunity to seek a new coach."
McQuade has two years remaining in the district's Deferred Retirement Option Program. She said by stepping down now, she can groom her successor as a volunteer assistant the next two years.
"I thought it would be a good time to get another coach in," McQuade said. "I can help mentor a little bit before I generally retire."
McQuade established herself as the dean of Pasco County volleyball after more than two decades of coaching success. She led Hudson to 12 playoff appearances and three trips to the final four from 1995-2009 in her second stint as Cobras coach. Hudson finished as Class 4A runner-up in 2000.
McQuade has been named the Sunshine Athletic Conference's coach of the year seven times: 1992-93, 1995, 1997, 2003-04 and 2006. She was also the Times' county coach of the year in 2004, and a handful of former players have become coaches.
"I think she's had a huge impact not just in Pasco but in the sport of volleyball," Fivay principal Angie Stone said.
After leaving Hudson, she took a year off from the sport before becoming the Falcons' head coach and athletic director in 2010. She will remain the school's AD.
McQuade quickly built the Falcons into one of the county's top programs. Her team broke through with a 24-7 record this fall and advanced to the region finals for the first time in program history, netting McQuade honors as the Times' North Suncoast coach of the year.
"Just to bring a young team in such a short time to where we've gone is tremendous," McQuade said. "To see them grow with the game and the dedication that we needed from them to do that."
Fivay posted the position on the district employment's website this week. The deadline to apply is Wednesday, and McQuade said she will likely name her successor shortly after Easter.
"I think she has built a foundation that will make it easy for any qualified coach to step in and continue the tradition that she's started to build," Stone said.

The Arts in the 1970s: Cultural Closure
Were the 1970s really `the devils decade'? Images of strikes, galloping inflation, rising unemployment and bitter social divisions evoke a period of unparalleled economic decline, political confrontation and social fragmentation. But how significant were the pessimism and self-doubt of the 1970s, and what was the legacy of its cultural conflicts? Covering the entire spectrum of the arts - drama, television, film, poetry, the novel, popular music, dance, cinema and the visual arts - The Arts in the 1970s challenges received perceptions of the decade as one of cultural decline. The collection breaks new ground in providing the first detailed analysis of the cultural production of the decade as a whole, providing an invaluable resource for all those involved in cultural, media and communications studies.

Project DescriptionFROM THE ARCHITECTS:
The Rose Center for Earth and Space is the centerpiece of the Northside project, which redefines the image of this venerable cultural and academic institution for the 21st century while respecting the historic architecture of the designated landmark. Along with the Arthur Ross Terrace, the Weston Pavilion and the renovated Theodore Roosevelt Park, The Rose Center completes the American Museum of Natural History's north side. The iconic sphere, housed within a glass cube, contains the state-of-the art Hayden Planetarium and Big Bang theater, whose program describes the origins of the universe. The building itself is designed as a learning tool, as a visible expression of the science it contains. Its extraordinary curtain wall, structural system and lighting, its use of materials and color, its open planning and singular and striking volumetric expression all reveal to the visitor an iconic example of building technology and science that makes this new building a worthy complement to the existing Museum and an effective expression of the institution's scientific and educational mission.

Best & Worst Latin American Beers (& Their Adverts!)
What are the finest Latin American beers? Now by no means have I sampled all Latin American beers, but I'd reckon I've tried most of them. These are my favourites, and notes on which ones to avoid, as well as some of the finest Latin beer adverts (& girls).
Brahma - from Brazil, has to be my favourite. It's a great, smooth beer, and the bottle is even shaped like a curvy Brazilian girl. Here's an ad for Brahma:
Brahma is a Brazilian Beer - is that a lepricorn or a fly with the girls?
Corona - from Mexico, is Latin America's most widely exported beer. It's light and smooth, and tastes best with a sliced lemon forced into the bottle.
Sol - also from Mexico, is another favourite of mine. It's light and doesn't have much taste, but the bottles are often enormous, and it goes down so fast it's like your drinking water. Other great Mexican beers worth trying include Dos Equis, and Modelo.
Mexican beer Sol - ideal for a sunny day on those fine Mexican beaches!
Cusquena - is Peru's finest beer. It's certainly better than all the other Peruvian beers with a clean and crisp taste. I recently saw it in my local supermarket in London (marketed as "The Gold of the Incas"), but it seems the Cusquena we import to the UK tastes much worse (too malty) than the same beer drunk locally in Peru. Maybe I'm imagining it, but I'm certain the beer tasted much better when I was in Peru.
Gallo - Guatemala's best beer is named after the chicken (Gallo), and if my 10 year old memory serves me right, it's pretty decent quality, comes in enormous bottles and is filthy cheap.
Guatemala's girls aren't all like this take note!
Polar - is Venezuela's most well known beer. The bottles are a little small, but the beer is decent and smooth, if not a little light. They also have a fantastic marketing campaign. Think about it - polar bears in Venezuala? No it's Polar Beer! How do you advertise that? Like everything in Venezuela! With stunning Venezuelan girls of course!
Venezuela Beer adverts, above & below.
Bus travel in Venezuela? It's not quite so glamourous in reality.
Aguila - Colombia has many beers, and while most people prefer Club Colombia, I found it a little too heavy, and decided that Aguila was my beer of choice in Colombia.
Hard to say no to a Colombian (beer)…
So that would be my personal selection of Latin America's best beers. I'd say the worst in Belize's Belikin beer, which should be banned it's so awful. Other's I think are rubbish but far too widespread include Pilsener in Ecuador, and Salta beer in Argentina.
I'll end this article with the most ridiculous beer advert I found, that of Nova Schin, a Brazilian beer:
Nova Schin - only Brazil could get away with an ad like this!
Do drop some beer comments in if you've anything to add to the list!

2014 Chicagoland: Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Nationwide Race Recap
Race Highlights:
⢠Brian Scott qualified on the pole for the EnjoyIllinois.com 300 at Chicagoland Speedway. Richard Childress Racing teammate Ty Dillon started on the outside pole position in second, followed by Brendan Gaughan and Cale Conley wrapping up the ninth and 10
th-place starting positions, respectively.
⢠Brian Scott earned the Nationwide Series #Dash4Cash $100,000 bonus by being the highest finisher o the four eligible drivers.
⢠Ty Dillon earned a fifth-place finish with teammates Brian Scott, Brendan Gaughan and Cale Conley finishing sixth, 11th and 12th , respectively.
⢠Brian Scott and Ty Dillon qualified for the third round of the $100,000 Dash 4 Cash bonus at Indianapolis Motor Speedway next week.
⢠Ty Dillon currently leads the RCR drivers in the Nationwide Series driver point standings in fourth, Brian Scott is fifth and Brendan Gaughan seventh.
⢠Next up for the Nationwide Series is the Lily Diabetes 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Catch all the action live on Saturday, July 26 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on ESPN.
Brian Scott Collects $100,000 Dash4Cash Bonus at Chicagoland Speedway
Brian Scott started the weekend off right at Chicagoland Speedway by collecting his fourth career NASCAR Nationwide Series pole and second at the 1.5-mile speedway for the EnjoyIllinois.com 300. Scott would lead the opening 20 laps before reporting his Shore Lodge Chevrolet was tight in the center of the corners. The Phil Gould-led team visited pit road three times under green-flag conditions to make the necessary adjustments on the No. 2 Camaro. Scott, a qualifier for the Nationwide Series Dash4Cash, battled against three other competitors for the highest finishing position for a $100,000 bonus. The team crossed the finish line in the sixth position and earned the Dash4Cash bonus at Chicagoland Speedway. With the highest finishing Dash4Cash position, the Shore Lodge team qualifies for the third round of the program next weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Start - 1st Finish - 6th Laps Led - 20 Pts - 5th
"This was a nice bonus for our Shore Lodge team today. We battled tight in the corners, but I was loose in dirty air. The track didn't really change until the end of the race. I think we can come back in the fall in the day-time conditions and have a shot at the win. We can keep chipping away at the championship with our consistency.
Ty Dillon notches first top-five of season at Chicagoland Speedway
Ty Dillon drove the No. 3 Red Kap Chevrolet Camaro to its first top-five finish of the season Saturdaynight at Chicagoland Speedway, finishing fifth in the EnjoyIllinois.com 300. Dillon, who qualified second to teammate Brian Scott, raced inside the top-five for most of the 200-lap event. From the beginning of the race, the 22-year-old driver and crew chief Danny Stockman felt confident in their No. 3 Camaro, despite battling tight-handling conditions on the initial green-flag run. The two went back-and-forth over the radio to discuss appropriate adjustments the car needed for the changing track conditions. On lap 163, Dillon came to pit road for a final pit stop taking on fuel and four tires in hopes of setting the rookie driver up for a top-five finish. Dillon made the pass for fifth on lap 188 and finished inside the top-five for the second time in his Nationwide Series Career. He remains fourth in the driver point standings and qualified for the Nationwide Insurance's "Dash4Cash" race next weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Start - 2nd Finish - 5th Laps Led - 0 Points - 4th
Ty Dillon Quote:
"Heck of a finish tonight for our No. 3 Red Kap Chevrolet Camaro. This is where we need to run each weekend and I think we are getting to that point. I thought this car was good enough to win tonight. We were chasing the track conditions at the end, but we seemed to be just a half of a step behind. I'm excited to be a Dash4Cash contestant next week in Indianapolis, one of my favorite race tracks."
Cale Conley Earns a 12th-Place Finish at Chicagoland Speedway
Cale Conley earned a 12th-place finish in his 1.5-mile debut at Chicagoland Speedway in the EnjoyIllinois.com 300. The Vienna, W. VA native took the green flag from the 10th position in theSaturday evening Nationwide Series stand-alone event. Conley battled tight conditions early in the 200-lap event as crew chief Nick Harrison called the driver of the No. 33 IAVA Chevrolet to pit road on lap 51 under green-flag conditions for fuel and four-fresh tires. As the laps wound down, Conley battled to stay inside the top-15 ultimately earning a 12th-place finish. The 22-year-old driver will be back behind the wheel of the No. 33 Chevrolet at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Start: 10th Finish: 12th Laps Led: 0 Points: N/A
"We had a really strong weekend from practice all the way through the race. Nick and the guys brought a fast car. I know the more seat time I get, the more comfortable I'll be behind the wheel. I can't wait to get back to Bristol and see how we can follow up our 11th-place finish from the spring."
Brendan Gaughan Muscles his way to an 11th-place finish at Chicagoland Speedway
After an eventful qualifying session for Brendan Gaughan and the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet, the team was forced to relegate its ninth-place starting spot to the tail of the field after contact with the wall forced some necessary body work on the right rear. After the green-flag dropped, Gaughan quickly flexed the ECR Engine horsepower up to 12th-place after only 32 laps. As the run progressed, a tight-handling condition began to surface, so crew chief Shane Wilson formulated a series of adjustments that would help keep the No. 62 Richard Childress Racing driver from abusing the right front tire. Green-flag stops started on lap 51, and the crew made only a track bar adjustment for a quick fix. Shortly afterwards, a debris caution waved on lap 68 and presented the opportunity for a left rear spring rubber to be pulled for the next run. The Georgetown Hoya graduate took the next green flag in 10th-place while gaining a few extra laps of gas on the next sequence. On lap 110, Gaughan made the call to come in early for four fresh Goodyear tires and more adjustments from the sixth spot under green. Another quick caution after the pit cycle, and he restarted 13th beginning to set his sights on breaking in to the top-10. The Las Vegas-native brought home an 11th-place finish and remains seventh in the Nationwide Series driver point standings.
Start - 9th Finish - 11th Laps Led - 0 Points - 7th
"Hats off to my guys today. We all dug in deep for this one. We had a great South Point Chevy Camaro this weekend, and just needed maybe one or two more stops to get the tightness out of it. We passed the most cars tonight and we'll take that positive into next week at Indy."
