The President's proposal to temporarily extend the tax cuts for the middle class may have been smart election politics; I don't know. What I do know is that it would help perpetuate a tax system – for which the Republicans share equal blame – that is unfair and unsustainable.

"Small business" sounds good rhetorically, whether you are trying to put a misleading face on support for the top 0.1%, like the Republicans, or simply trying for a more generally faux-populist tone, like the Democrats. Tax breaks for "big business" certainly don't sound as wholesome. But there is no particular reason to favor one part of the business sector over another, or to give businesses a tax incentive to stay small

I get a very kind mention from Peter Reilly today:
The Blogger With Whom I Feel Most Sympatico
Joe Kristan is a CPA with Roth and Company PC in Des Moines, Iowa. Joe describes the Robert Flach version of tax season as a two month death march. He actually has the temerity to criticize the Pro, before whom, I stand in awe and wonder. In his Tax Update, he will often pick up the same cases that I do. He has taken to having many of his posts be Tax Roundups, which reflect a pretty good sampling of other tax blogs.
Totally unrelated to taxes, but well worth looking at is another blog of Joe's that is inactive, presumably due to lack of further material. It is called 42-72817. The number is the serial number of a B-24 that was shot down in 1944. The top turret gunner, who survived the crash, was Joe's father.
Peter is a prolific and perceptive tax blogger, one of the best of a group of new tax bloggers who have emerged in the past year or so. It's the sudden abundance of excellent material from Peter and others that is behind these Tax Roundups; there's so much good stuff out there now that I should link to, and this format helps me do that.

Hi Chicago 'hounds,
So I'm making an impromptu visit to your fair city next month, and I'd like some input on my dining plans. I generally come to Chicago once a year (usually in June) and am interested primarily in fine dining experiences (I have eaten at Alinea twice and would go back, but it happens that the 21st Century Limited is on during my visit and even if I could get tickets I've already eaten at EMP this year).
Right now I have dinner reservations booked at Topolobampo, Goosefoot, and Schwa. My questions are:
1. Should I keep the Topolo reservation, or look at something else? I'm strongly considering Bonsoiree as an alternative.
2. What about a backup plan for Schwa? I'm thinking maybe MK, but do you think it's possible to get reservations at Sixteen or L2O at the last minute? Or maybe Moto? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1. Re: Ranges for dimensionTimK Nov 24, 2012 6:09 PM (in response to 965342)Hi Anil,
This sounds like a common data architecture problem and I can imagine several different ways you might have implemented it and a couple possible solutions. I think the best approach is if you could share more about the format of schema.csv. Include a snippet of the header and a couple of obfuscated records (ie. change any data that is customer identity or information sensitive).
The, you might share if you have any other data sources you are joining that are salient to the records in schema.csv. For example, left joining catalog.csv with schema.csv on schema_id. This might help identify if you are joining on an inadequate key or other relationship that produces inappropriate records - ie. records with too many size attributes.
2. Re: Ranges for dimensionDan at Branchbird Nov 25, 2012 11:14 PM (in response to TimK)Are you mapping one source attribute into 3 Endeca size dimensions or are you mapping 3 source attributes into 3 Endeca size dimensions?

I am mapping one source attribute to 3 endeca size dimensions.

5. Re: Ranges for dimensionDan at Branchbird Nov 26, 2012 4:28 PM (in response to 965342)Anil,
I think your best bet is to add a record manipulator to break your 1 source attribute "Weight" into 3 source attributes, "Weight-ml", "Weight-mg", "Weight-kg". Then in your property mapper component, you can map each of these 3 source attributes to the appropriate Endeca dimension for each. This will solve the erroneous double-tagging you're experiencing today.
The solution is straightforward. The challenge lies in the sometimes less-than-intuitive XML-based logic of the record manipulator. The manipulator should do the following:
1) For each incoming record, check if the Weight coming in is kg, mg, or ml.
2) Create a source attribute (aka. source property) that gets added to the record depending on what type of weight (e.g. Create "Weight-kg" with a value equal to the original source attribute "Weight"'s value.)
Then in the property mapper, you can map the ml, mg, and kg Weight source properties to the Endeca ml, mg, and kg dimensions.
Check out the VOID IF and VOID CREATE functions from the manipulator syntax guide here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28912_01/DeveloperStudio.612/pdf/DataFoundryExpRef.pdf
6. Re: Ranges for dimension965342 Dec 15, 2012 2:44 PM (in response to Dan at Branchbird)Hi Dan,
As per Documentation
About range filters
Range filter functionality allows a user, at request time, to specify an arbitrary, dynamic range of values
that are then used to limit the records returned for a navigation query.
The remaining refinement dimension values for the records in the result set are also returned. For
example, a range filter would be used if a user were querying for wines within a price range, say
between $10 and $20.
It is important to remember that, similar to record search, range filters are simply modifiers for a
navigation query. The range filter acts in the same manner as a dimension value, even though it is
not a specific system-defined dimension value.
You can use a range filter in a query on record properties and on dimensions.
Configuring properties and dimensions for range filtering
Using range filters does not require Dgidx or Dgraph configuration flags.
Range filters can be applied to either properties or dimensions of the following types:
*• Properties of type Numeric (Integer, Floating point, DateTime) or type Geocode*
*• Dimensions of type Numeric that contain only Integer or Floating point values.*
So is i have created ranges for string property with values( 440 mg/1kg/440ml), so it is tagging the records in both 440 mg and 440 ml range. is there any other way to get this done.
Thanks in advance.
7. Re: Ranges for dimensionDan at Branchbird Dec 17, 2012 1:47 AM (in response to 965342)Anil,
Can you please be more specific detailing the range value you created? You state that you "have created ranges for string property with values( 440 mg/1kg/440ml)", but I am not sure I understand how that is a range value. What are the low and high ends of the ranges you've created? Per my earlier post, I am suggesting that you create a different range dimension for milligrams, kilograms, and milliliters.
Please advise,

The 'Into the Wild' actor pees outside Bootsy Bellows nightclub on the famous Sunset Strip though the restroom is just a few feet away.
Emile Hirsch was caught in the act. The titular character depicter in "Speed Racer" looked alarmed when a paparazzo snapped him urinating on a cactus in front of Bootsy Bellows nightclub on the famous Sunset Strip.
According to TMZ which obtained the photo, the 27-year-old actor was partying in the club when he opted to pee on a cactus in front of the club's door instead of going into a restroom, which was just a few feet away. The actor was surrounded by other party-goers.
Emile is known for his roles in "The Girl Next Door", "Lords of Dogtown", and "Into the Wild". He will next be seen in "Twice Born", which will be released in Italy on November 8.
His upcoming films include "The Motel Life", "Prince Avalanche", and "Lone Survivor" which are all scheduled for 2013 releases. In "Lone Survivor", the star of "The Emperor's Club" will join the likes of Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Eric Bana, and Ben Foster.

After serving his nine-game suspension to start the season, Kansas freshman Josh Selby is ready to finally hit the court for the No. 3 Jayhawks.
Selby will make his debut on Saturday when Kansas squares off with Southern California.
According to the Lawrence Journal-World, that debut may not include a spot in the starting lineup.
"He's getting all the reps with the first group now (at practice)," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I don't think I'm going to start him, even though I don't have a 'made-decision' positively. I don't think I will, because he has to beat somebody out. He needs to perform well in the games, and not just practice, but he's going to give us some scoring punch."
Self also said that he will not use Selby as the team's point guard to start, instead using him off the ball. Self said it will take time for Selby to learn the point guard position.
"Josh is going to be a point guard for us," Self said. "He will end up being a true point guard in time. It's a lot to throw at a guy, 'OK, you are not only responsible for yourself, you are responsible for every single possession, and if we don't have a good one, it's going to basically be your fault.' I'd rather put that on Tyshawn right now than Josh."
Selby, meanwhile, is fine with whatever role Self asks of him.
"I don't mind not starting right away because I missed nine games. There's players who played very well over those nine games who play the same position," Selby said Monday. "I'm not worried at all. I just hope I can bring a lot of energy off the bench."

Case Conclusion Date: 07.06.1999
Practice Area: Child custody
Outcome: My client (the Mother) prevailed
Description: Washington Court of Appeals, Division I, In re: Dammarell v. Dammerell, Unreported Opinion, 07/06/1999 Issue was whether state of Washington, which had proper jurisdiction over the parties' child custody dispute, should decline to exercise it's jurisdiction if state of Montana was a more convenient forum in which the dispute should be litigated. Mother (my client) had been named primary residential parent (custodial parent) at the time of 1992 Washington divorce. She and the child relocated to Montana in 1995. In 1997, Father petitioned for a change of custody, which was granted. Mother did not appeal the decision. The minor child, a teenager, refused to relocate back to Washington to reside with Father. At one point, she ran away from Father's home in Washington and hitch-hiked back to Mother's home in Montana. Later, when Father drove to Montana to retrieve her, the child ran away and did not return until she learned Father had left town. Ten months passed, and in 1998, the Father and his new spouse arrived unexpectedly at the Montana home of the child and child's Mother, removed the child by force, drove her to Oregon, and enrolled her in a locked-down outdoor school for defiant and troubled teens. Mother filed an action in Montana, and the Montana court ordered Father to return the child to Mother. Father did not return the child but instead filed an action in Washington, requesting Mother's visitation rights be restricted and subject to supervision. At one point, even the Oregon court began embroiled in the dispute. Father defended against Mother's action in Montana, arguing that Montana did not have proper jurisdiction. Mother defended against Father's action in Montana, arguing that while Washington had initial jurisdiction, Washington should decline in favor of Montana being a more convenient forum, or in the alternative, if Washington retained jurisdiction custody of the parties' teenage daughter should be reverted to her. At the initial hearing, a King County Court Commissioner, denied Mother's motion to decline jurisdiction, dismissed Mother's petition for change of custody, and restricted Mother's contact. Mother filed for revision, however, which the trial judge granted in December 1998. The Court agreed that Washington had jurisdiction under the UCCJA, but declined to exercise that jurisdiction in favor of Montana, which the Court agreed was the more convenient forum. The Court revised the Commissioner's order on jurisdiction, vacated all of the other orders, including the order restricting Mother's contact. Father appealed the ruling to the Washington State Court of Appeals. The appeal was heard July 1999. The Court of Appeals, affirmed the trial court's decision and accordingly my client prevailed. Father subsequently filed an appeal to the Washington Supreme Court, which declined to hear his appeal. The litigation proceeded in the Montana court. Meanwhile, the daughter (who had been retrieved by force from the Mother's home by Father) eventually again ran away from Father's home in Washington and made her way back to Mother's home in Montana, and until reaching the age of majority declined to cooperate with Father's attempt to persuade her to return to Washington either to reside or visit.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
NOTHING. WE LIKED NOTHING !! The hotel staff gave inaccurate information regarding the landmarks and sites in the city. The Tour guide bureau within the hotel was no better. They refused to help us with restaurant recommendations outside the hotel. They refused to let us bring outside food into the hotel, knowing that their restaurant food made us sick. The restaurant food made all of us violently sick during our stay here. After being dehydrated from being sick for days they refused to supply us with drinking water, we had to go outside the hotel when we were sick and exhausted to purchase our drinking water.
Rooms were good. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Food (breakfast) at restaurant was good, Wi-fi worked well. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet. Very close to Meenakshi Amman temple. If you drive to the hotel then parking and unloading/loading is a problem because there's no space to park at the front of the hotel owing to it being on a main street. When we parked there were cars honking at us while we were unloading and the hotel staff did not bother to ask them to wait for us to unload the car.

|[en] Light therapy can be an effective treatment for mood disorders, suggesting that light is able to affect mood state in the long term. As a first step to understand this effect, we hypothesized that light might also acutely influence emotion and tested whether short exposures to light modulate emotional brain responses. During functional magnetic resonance imaging, 17 healthy volunteers listened to emotional and neutral vocal stimuli while being exposed to alternating 40-s periods of blue or green ambient light. Blue (relative to green) light increased responses to emotional stimuli in the voice area of the temporal cortex and in the hippocampus. During emotional processing, the functional connectivity between the voice area, the amygdala, and the hypothalamus was selectively enhanced in the context of blue illumination, which shows that responses to emotional stimulation in the hypothalamus and amygdala are influenced by both the decoding of vocal information in the voice area and the spectral quality of ambient light. These results demonstrate the acute influence of light and its spectral quality on emotional brain processing and identify a unique network merging affective and ambient light information.

Children's Defense Fund's Statement of Purpose:
The Child & Family WebGuide describes trustworthy websites on topics of interest to parents and professionals. All the sites listed on the WebGuide have been systematically evaluated by graduate students and faculty in child development at Tuft University. These sites have been selected from thousands that are available on the Web, based primarily on the quality of the information they provide. The goal of the WebGuide is to give the public easy access to the best child development information on the Web.
More than 15 million children in America are poor, but they live in working families. A disproportionate number are Black and Latino. Poor children lag behind their peers in many ways beyond income: They are less healthy, trail in emotional and intellectual development, and are less likely to graduate from high school. Poor children also are likely to become the poor parents of the future. Every year that we keep children in poverty costs our nation half a trillion dollars in lost productivity, poorer health and increased crime.
Our vision is to end child poverty. We must invest in high quality education for every child, livable wages for families, income safety nets like job training and job creation, the Earned Income and Child Tax Credits, and work supports like child care and health coverage. We also work with partners to educate families about benefits for which they are eligible.
Data on Child Poverty
CDF's new report, The State of America's Children® 2011, a compilation of the most recent and reliable national and state-by-state data on key child indicators, including child poverty. The Child Poverty section of the report includes state data on the number and percentage of children living in poverty and extreme poverty and the child poverty breakdown by race/ethnicity and geography. This section of the report also includes poverty trends among children over the past 50 years and poverty rates of children in young families by the educational attainment of the family householder. A total of 15.5 million children—or one in every five children in America—lived in poverty in 2009, an increase of nearly four million children since 2000 and the largest single year increase since the data was first collected.
Carsey Institute Report on Child Poverty
Researchers at the University of New Hampshire's Carsey Institute have released a report which details the demographic breakdowns of child poverty in America. The report finds that young children of color in rural areas or single parent families are the most vulnerable to the effects of poverty. Read the full report here.
New FRAC Survey Shows Households With Children Struggle to Afford Food
The Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) recently released findings from a survey which paint a clear portrait of the struggle faced by many families to afford food for their children. The survey found that in 2009, nearly one in four households with children struggled to afford the food they needed. Nationally, nearly one in five Americans (18.5 percent) has lacked the money to buy the food they needed at some point in the last year. To read the full report, click here. Food Hardship: pdf document
Access to nutritious food is a matter of social justice. As CDF President Marian Wright Edelman noted in her recent Child Watch® column Urban Food Deserts Threaten Children's Health, failing to ensure our children receive better nutrition will cost our nation dearly. Ensuring children and adults access to nutritious food is one obvious step we must take as legislators struggle to reform our nation's health care system and contain its skyrocketing costs.

Investing in Early Childhood to Reduce Child Poverty
Every 34 seconds, a child is born poor in America. Poverty can disrupt children's development and negatively impact their educational advancement, their ability to lead productive lives and become responsible citizens. And yet millions of young children feel the effects of poverty every day. Find out more about the effects of poverty on young children - and how you can lend your voice for America's most vulnerable.
Billions Lost to Predatory Commercial Tax Preparers
A new CDF report, "Avoiding the Pitfalls of Refund Anticipation Loans," finds that in tax year 2006, low-income families lost $3.1 billion of their Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) benefits to high-interest, short-term loans, tax preparation fees and other financial products issued by commercial tax preparers. The EITC, is a refundable federal tax credit for low- and modest-income workers, is one of the most effective tools for lifting families out of poverty. The report also provides city, county and state breakdowns of dollars lost to predatory tax preparers and provides ways individuals, communities and policy makers can take action to lift children out of poverty by helping their working families keep more of the benefits they've earned.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: Child Poverty Resources Available in Your State and Community
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act -passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama helps alleviate the stress on families and communities by investing in improvements for a range of needed services and supports, including those services that will help children in poverty. Learn what is available in your state and community and how to use these funds to invest in child poverty by visiting the Child Support Enforcement, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and Unemployment Assistance and Workforce Development - sections of our guide, The New Economic Recovery Law: Resources to Help Children and the Economy.
Fact Sheet: Child Poverty in America
Learn more about child poverty in America with this primer that provides information on the definition of poverty; basic facts about child poverty; how poverty affects children's health, food security, early development, home and family environment, education, and crime; the economic and social costs of child poverty; and public programs that combat child poverty.
Creating a level playing field for all children is a mission that CDF cannot accomplish alone. We often work with or refer people to many other organizations nationwide who are working to improve the lives of children. A list of some of them is below.
Homelessness occurs when people or households are unable to acquire and/or maintain housing they can afford.
The National Alliance to End Homelessness is a nonpartisan, mission-driven organization committed to preventing and ending homelessness in the United States. The Alliance analyzes policy and develops pragmatic, cost-effective policy solutions. They work collaboratively with the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to build state and local capacity, leading to stronger programs and policies that help homeless individuals and families make positive changes in their lives.

Disease of Society It is not just the ailment. The reason for the 20-year-old's plea for mercy killing is his disgust at being ostracised by society.
Pravin's medical problem is tough to deal with, although not incurable. His father Suresh Bajpai is working for a transport company and earns a meagre sum of Rs 2,000 per month to feed a family of seven. Suresh approached several doctors and politicians to give Pravin the treatment which was too expensive for him. But with no help in sight, the crestfallen father sought permission from President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam for mercy killing of his own son."Pravin had a spot on his left cheek at the time of birth. It was a minor problem so I did not take it seriously," recalled Suresh. However, his unending agony began when the spot started spreading across the left side of his face.
Pravin is deprived of primary education as he was denied admission by school authorities for being "defaced". "When Pravin was four-year-old, I took him to Bharti Gyanpeeth School in Kidwai Nagar, which refused him admission on the grounds that other students would get scared," said Suresh, adding, Pravin had no option but to sit at home and watch other boys of his age go to school and play games. If he tried to step out, the neighbours would force him to get back home. The agony, however, did not end there. "I was thrown out of my house by my landlord," said Suresh. What added to the crisis were the rumours that Pravin's was a contiguous disease. For months, the Bajpais had to lead a nomadic life, until one of his friends allowed them to live in an old, abandoned house.
Suresh did everything to give his son adequate treatment. He travelled to Delhi, but the costly treatment forced him to return to Kanpur. He also spoke to several politicians for help. "I met Priyanka and Rahul Gandhi in Rae Bareli and they promised my son free treatment, although no action was taken thereafter," said Suresh. "The rudest shock, however, came from Uttar Pradesh Home Minister Prakash Jaiswal, who threw me out of his house, alleging that I am making money at the cost of my son," stated an agitated Suresh. So was the response from Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav and the district administration in Kanpur. Suresh wrote to several people in the system but no one responded, except for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who assured him of subsidised treatment which cost him nearly Rs 20 lakh. Although Pravin started his treatment in the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital in Delhi, it had to be discontinued due to paucity of funds.
The only ray of hope for the Bajpai family came from Kapil Sabbarwal, general secretary of Kanpur Sports Association, who too faced a similar situation when both his parents suffered from cancer. "I know how it feels when someone in the family is seriously ill," said Sabbarwal, who is currently collecting funds from his friends, relatives and customers of his sports shop for Pravin's treatment.
Pravin is otherwise fit, he functions well and is intelligent enough. Senior child expert Dr M.L. Tripathi told india today that Pravin can be treated and can start life afresh. So far, this seems to be a dream, but whether it will take shape is yet to be seen.

Evolution from the Inside Out
November 28, 2012 by Leave a Comment
When most people think of evolution, they think of the growth and development of the exterior dimensions of reality—the biological evolution of natural species, the development of the cosmos from the Big Bang to the present, or the rapidly accelerating advancement of technology. But much less often spoken about is the evolution of our interiors—of our subjective experience of consciousness and our shared cultural values, morals, and beliefs. It's this kind of interior evolution … [Read more...]

Police accused of threats to Doomadgee witness
Community anger … Lex Wooton on Palm Island yesterday. He said police had told Patrick Bramwell he would be "dealt with" if he spoke out.
Photo: Paul Harris
PATRICK BRAMWELL, who hanged himself on Palm Island on Monday night, had been under police pressure not to talk about what he witnessed the night another Aboriginal man, Mulrunji Doomadgee, died in 2004, his supporters say.
Lex Wooton, the chairman of the Palm Island Alcohol Rehabilitation Council, said Mr Bramwell, 24, had been in the same cell when police allegedly roughed up Mr Doomadgee on Palm Island on November 19, 2004. Police had later picked up Mr Bramwell while he was living rough in a Townsville park and warned him not to say anything about the incident or he would be "dealt with".
Alf Clay, an Aboriginal health liaison officer on Palm Island, said Mr Bramwell had served a sentence in Townsville's Stuart jail since Mr Doomadgee's death. "The police saw him in jail and the word is getting round here that when Patrick was released last year, the police went looking for him," he said.
Mr Wooton said Mr Bramwell had also faced pressure from the Queensland Crime and Misconduct Commission, which took him back to Townsville for questioning. "The commission said that they were independent of the Government, but who would believe that?" Mr Wooton said.
"His uncle Roy Bramwell, who was also in the cell when Doomadgee got his injuries, is now in Stuart jail as well. All that was playing on Patrick's mind."
A coroner found that Sergeant Chris Hurley was responsible for Mr Doomadgee's death, but last November the Queensland Director of Public Prosecutions ruled there were insufficient grounds for prosecuting him. In response to the ensuing uproar, the Government appointed the former NSW chief justice Sir Laurence Street to review the decision, and he visited Palm Island for the first time on Tuesday.
Palm Island's mayor, Delena Oui-Foster, said the Government had sent organisations to the island to provide training and counselling, but Mr Bramwell had received no help.
"It was a traumatic time for him but he had to bear it and carry it all on his own," she said.
At least Sir Laurence had seen where Mr Doomadgee was picked up, less than five minutes' drive from the police lock-up, she said.
Local police declined to talk about this week's death and directed all media inquiries to the senior officer, Sergeant Paul Jones, who was away for the day. Ms Oui-Foster said the problems plaguing Palm Island were housing shortages and unemployment.

When it is cold outside and the Fashionista/o gets tired of the daily grind, what do they do? They go on vacation, of course! This past MLK weekend, I went up to Searchmont, Canada with the Michigan Snowboard Club for a long weekend of boarding and fun! I found this Fashionisto outside of our hotel, and he is wearing some great vacation style, which would be just as suitable at school as it was outside of it. The piece that caught my eye in this outfit and elevates this look to make it truly fashionable would have to be the plaid scarf.
Plaid likely had its origins in Scotland, where it has always been the print for their traditional kilts — however, it has made a huge resurgence in recent years, and today's plaids are anything but traditional. You can now find plaid anything — plaid coats, plaid hats, plaid scarves, plaid socks, plaid pants and, of course, the piece that started the whole trend: plaid flannel shirts.
Personally, my favorite way to wear plaid is in accessories, because I think that it adds some interest in to an outfit without being overwhelming to the eye. After all, it takes a very skilled Fashionisto to be able to rock loud plaid pants without looking like the outfit is haphazardly thrown together. But accessories are easy to work in to a Fashionisto's winter wardrobe! Plaids are a perfect way to break up the slew of monotone pieces that are usually worn in the winter. Like this Fashionisto, my favorite plaid accessory is the scarf.
The best part about plaid is that depending on the print you buy, it can be as classic or as crazy as you want. This Fashionisto is wearing a beautifully classic plaid, as was popularized by Burberry and their famous scarves. Like this Fashionisto, I personally prefer to wear the more classic plaid prints, because I think that they add lots of style to an outfit without having to try too hard. After all, as long as you buy your print in a neutral (think navy, white, brown or black) then you can throw it on with pretty much any piece in your wardrobe. However, at the same time, there is now a huge range of plaids in every conceivable color, and it can be fun to experience those brighter plaids too! Experiment with nontraditional colors, like blue or green, to add some color to your winter wardrobe!
Hint: Plaid is now so mainstream that you can find it pretty much anywhere, for any price. Buy a couple cheaper scarves and have fun experimenting, or invest in a classic one that you will wear forever.

Corvette Racing to Celebrate Milestone 100th Race at Detroit Grand Prix Ninth Round of American Le Mans Series Will Cap Busy Week for Chevy's Home Team DETROIT, Aug. 26, 2008 -- Corvette Racing will reach a motorsports milestone during the ...
Corvette Racing to Celebrate Milestone 100th Race at Detroit Grand Prix
Ninth Round of American Le Mans Series Will Cap Busy Week for Chevy's Home Team
DETROIT, Aug. 26, 2008 -- Corvette Racing will reach a motorsports milestone during the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix weekend when the green flag signals the start of the Detroit Sports Car Challenge on Saturday, August 30. The ninth round of the 2008 American Le Mans Series will mark Corvette Racing's 100th event in international road racing.
Chevrolet's factory team made its competition debut in February 1999 at the Rolex 24 at Daytona endurance race. Since then, Corvette Racing has competed in 99 events run under the auspices of USRRC, Grand Am, American Le Man Series, and Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), organizer of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. America's premier production sports car team has scored 71 victories and tallied a 71.7 winning percentage. Following the team's first ALMS victory at Texas Motor Speedway on Sept. 2, 2000, Corvette Racing has captured seven consecutive ALMS GT1 manufacturers and team championships and six straight drivers' titles.
"Competing in our 100th race will be an amazing achievement, and another first for a factory-backed General Motors program," said Doug Fehan, Corvette Racing program manager. "Everyone at Corvette Racing is very proud of this accomplishment.
"Reaching this milestone is a testament to GM management's commitment to the Corvette as a brand and to the Corvette Racing program," he continued. "Since the program's inception, we have learned that the longer this program runs, the greater the benefits derived by the company.
"We've established Corvette as a global icon," Fehan noted. "We've established Corvette as the world's best sports car -- not just America's best sports car. We've demonstrated to GM how lessons learned in racing can be applied to production vehicles, ultimately producing better vehicles for our customers. Corvette is the tip of the technological spear for GM, and everyone who buys a Corvette now knows that it is truly race bred."
Chevrolet will have a high profile at the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix. Chevy is the event's Official Vehicle, and racing champion Emerson Fittipaldi will drive the Corvette pace car for the Detroit Sports Car Challenge. Hundreds of Corvette owners will fill the Corvette Corral during the race weekend, and Chevy will have an extensive display on site.
Corvette Racing driver Johnny O'Connell will throw the ceremonial first pitch at the Detroit Tigers baseball game at Comerica Park on Wednesday night. O'Connell and Jan Magnussen teamed up to win the GT1 trophy in last year's inaugural ALMS event on Belle Isle. The pair has been on a tear in 2008, scoring seven victories in the first eight rounds of the 11-race series.
"We have many great races on the ALMS calendar, but the Detroit Grand Prix is special," Magnussen said. "It's a fantastic race with a very cool atmosphere. Roger Penske and the race organizers do a fantastic job with the facility, and you feel the atmosphere as soon as you cross the bridge to Belle Isle.
"The circuit is a fun track to drive, but it's one of those places that doesn't leave a lot of room for mistakes," Magnussen cautioned. "It's a street circuit, which makes it difficult to pass and to be passed by the prototypes, so it's really important that you have a good understanding with the drivers around you."
Corvette Racing's reigning GT1 co-champion Oliver Gavin agreed: "Detroit stacks up very well relative to other street circuits," said the Briton. "They've done a very good job with the track layout. A driver must always bear in mind that it's a temporary course, and while you might like more grip and fewer bumps, that's part of the challenge of it. That's what makes street circuits fun to drive around.
"Last year there was a fantastic atmosphere and the weather was great," Gavin recalled. "I think this year's Detroit Grand Prix should be another jewel in the crown for the ALMS."

Putting the laughs on ice
Gary Mihoces, USA TODAY
Blades of Glory, a comedy film in which actors Will Ferrell (Talladega Nights) and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) play an all-male, figure skating pairs team, opens in theatres Friday. Don't assume everybody in the figure skating world is cringing.
"I think it's going to be good, and I think that it's going to bring some attention to our sport," says U.S. men's champion Evan Lysacek.
Rule 302 of the International Skating Union says a pair "must be one lady and one man." After the characters portrayed by Ferrell and Heder are banned from singles skating, they find a loophole to form a pair.
Lysacek, who says he's done some "promotional stuff" for the film, acknowleges it isn't "totally, 100% realistic." But, he adds, "Maybe that's what we need to lighten up a little bit and have some fun with it."
Dick Button, World Figure Skating Hall of Famer and TV analyst, says he "can't wait" to see it. "I was supposed to be in it. Unfortunately, it didn't jell for me," says Button.
As for the film's farcical take, Button says, "I don't care what they say about us as long as they spell our name right. And 's-k-a-t-i-n-g' is the name."
Unbridled by international rules, the "Champions on Ice Tour" already has a two-man skating team. Ukranians Vladimir Besedin. (6 feet 2, 210 pounds) and Oleksiy Polishchuk. (5-7, 150) entertain with comedy and acrobatics.
Skating stars with cameo roles in Blades of Glory include Brian Boitano, Sasha Cohen, Peggy Fleming, Dorothy Hamill, Scott Hamilton and Nancy Kerrigan.

A second doctor has agreed to help out at the Digby clinic for 'unattached patients'.
"A physician from away, who has been here before and knows the area, has graciously offered to provide service in our clinic," says Hubert d'Entremont, site manager at Digby General Hospital.
The physician has so far committed to five days in February and two days in March.
"That's the known availability at this time," says d'Entremont. "With the anticipation that further pockets of time will be available in the future."
The clinic will now be open:
Monday, Feb.18
Tuesday, Feb. 19
Thursday, Feb. 21
Monday, Feb. 25
Tuesday, Feb. 26
Wednesday, Feb. 27
Thursday, Feb. 28
Monday, March 4
Tuesday, March 5
Thursday, March 7
Monday, March 11
Monday, March 18
Monday, March 25
Dr. Alan Dill will continue to work Mondays out of the clinic (although not Easter Monday, March 31 of course).
D'Entremont says the clinic, open for just over a month, has been fully booked from the beginning and people have been using it 'efficiently'.
"The people who have been requesting appointments are not tied to a family physician or nurse practitioner and they are accessing the clinic for health issues which, if it weren't for this clinic they would have to go to the emergency department," says d'Entremont.
He says it is too early to say if the clinic is taking any pressure off the emergency department but they are tracking it.
People in the Digby area without a family physician or primary care provider can make an appointment by calling the consultant clinic at Digby General Hospital, 902-245-2502 extension 3282.
The complete schedule, with additional days, for February and March is also available on the South West Health website:
The Bear River Area Community Health Clinic is also holding five clinic days with Dr. Nav Mangat.
Saturday, Feb. 23 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Monday, Feb. 25 11 a.m. – 5:30pm
Saturday, Mar. 2 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Monday, Mar. 4 11 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Everybody welcome, no appointment necessary. Please bring valid health card.
