Indiana Series returns to South Bend Friday.
Indiana Ford Focus Midget Car Series point leader Robbie Ray of Davenport, Iowa recorded his fourth victory of the 2003 season in Friday night's 20-lap feature at the Bloomington Speedway. The race was the first for the new series at the 1/4-mile banked dirt track.
Ray trailed Ronnie Wuerdeman for the first seven laps, then moved to the front in his Ray Racing Beast. Rex Norris III posted his best series finish to date as the race runner-up and he was followed by Derek Crasi, Ryan Litt and Jim Mills. Mills and Crasi won the preliminary heat races.

Samantha's First Kiss – Valentines
Samantha's First Kiss – Valentines:
It's Valentines! The time of year when love is in the air. When chocolates, jewelry and stuffed teddy bears are plentiful. This year on the new Love, Teacup Kisses blog I wanted to share an old image. I did this drawing in 2014 during Inktober. It was the first year I did inktober and the year that made me love it.
I focused many of the drawings around a witch character named Samantha. Inktober that year showcased her child hood, her teenage years, her family and her adulthood. This particular drawing was Samantha's first kiss. Their is something so charming about ones first kiss. The awkward attempt at romance from two totally unaware young individuals. Childhood romance being explored with a single kiss is exciting.
Often when your first kiss is experience at a young age you are unaware of what to expect. Bashful and shy towards the other person. A quick peck is all you can think to do. All you are willing to do. It's perfect in it's imperfections. Something so quick somehow means so much.
My First Kiss:
When I was in first or second grade I had a crush on this kid Skyler. We didn't interact much but my friends new that I thought he was so dreamy. One day, our friends got the bright idea to bring us together on the playground. His friends egged him on to kiss me, and my friends egged me on to kiss him back. They pushed us towards each other and we resisted.
I secretly hoped that he would do it, but fought back to hide my desire. Our friends being there definitely made it awkward. Eventually the bell rang and we were saved. Our friends took off to their class rooms but we stayed behind momentarily. I think the world stopped for a second, and then he leaned in and kissed me.
I can't remember if it was on the lips or the cheek, but I remembered that it was perfect. A moment I will never forget.
This Year:
This year I am single, no crushes or love interests to spend the holiday with. Most of the time I'm happy to be single, prefer it even. But romantic holidays can leave me wanting. So this year I hope to spend the holiday cozy in a bubble bath reading a good book and falling in love with life. I hope you have a wonderful Valentines day and let me know in the comments bellow what you're doing.
Until Next time,

Gig Alert: Truth & Salvage Co. at House of Blues' Cambridge Room on Sunday Night
With much of today's musical landscape littered with pre-fab pop acts that are adept at costume changes and magazine cover shoots (if little else), it's easy to understand that many folks are quick to embrace any artist or act that possesses even aslight
resemblance to certain sounds of the past that strike a chord of authentic warmth. And, in turn, over the course of the last couple of years, there has been a peaceful, easy, resurgence of the communal musical love that is kissed by the hazy shine of the rays that blanket southern California's canyons.
Given that there is a monumentally huge difference between sounding old-school and sounding, well, old, it's no grand surprise that California's Truth & Salvage Co. has been winning fans with their easy-loving, breezy and harmonious rock 'n' roll. When it comes to the group's debut, self-titled album, all the key ingredients for a good-timing Cali-rock album are in perfect proportion: pot, beards, laid-back love, and plenty of Los Angelino mirth.
And, oh yeah, there's also a Black Crowe.

Chris Robinson has held tight to the jammy, love-struck vibe he dispensed with the last Black Crowes release and, in producing this album, he has honed the Hollywood Hills hippie-ness of four singer/songwriters--Walker Young, Tim Jones, Bill Smith and Scott Kennebec--into an air-tight package that could've easily popped out of a hemp-lined time capsule where the premium is on robust licks of the Hammond B3, the whispy tears of the lap steel and, of course, one hell of a scorching guitar.
The opening line of the entire record sets the table aptly: "Hail, Hail, the gang's all here, with our heads full of reefer and our bellies full of beer." Of course, the songs still have to rock, above all else and regardless of what time period it may be.
And, truth be told, they do. See for yourself on Sunday, where the band will be joined by recently resurgent local folk favorite, Deadman.

The One Horn buffalo is a Path of the Hunter quest that can be found in Camp Murder, north of Badtown once you free the camp.
You must kill it with a shotgun.
It will have a herd with it and they will attack, so it is better to aim for the target and kill it first. Then you can use any weapon to kill the rest of the herd.

"I can bend the desires of mortals and immortals to my will." -Cerul
Identity Edit
Source: Psionic. Psions direct psionic energy from within their own mind, focusing that power through meditation and contemplation. Their magic works on the minds of others or manifests their will as a physical force in the world.
Role: Controller. Psions can mentally influence the actions of their foes, and they can toss their enemies around the battlefield with psionic force.
Implement: Orbs and staves
History Edit
Psions are the quintessential manipulators of psionic power. Psions unleash the potential locked within every conscious mind, move objects with just a thought, and assume command of even the least desire of their foes. Psions make manifest their secret wishes when others can only dream.
They know the mental pathways that lead to amazing edifices of altered reality. Psions could be brash human youths flush with their mental ability's first flowering, tattooed cenobites enrolled in a secret psionic academy, fey enchanters using ancient techniques to beguile their foes, or perhaps specially trained inquisitors who learned one secret too many.
A flare of mental energy warms them, the thoughts of friends and foes glitter like stars all about them, and their thoughts themselves are weapons half sheathed. If a god can reshape the world and they can enthrall a god, what does that make them?

"All property is theft", said Proudhon. The very statement contradicts itself. An act could be called theft only if it involves taking the property of another which is legitimately owned. If no one legitimately owns any property, then how could it be termed as theft? If one could extort a grain of truth out of Proudhon's statement, it would be that property was largely acquired through wrong means in the past. In India, in most cases land was forcefully appropriated by kings and distributed to Zamindars for the ease of tax collection. The Zamindars have no just claim to the land they acquired in this manner. There were cases of feudalism and slavery in the past. The crucial question is whether ownership claims to land possessed by the descendant of the looter have legitimacy or not. Should it be handed back to the descendants of the victims?
A few days back a reader of my blog posed this question to me: What if an industrialist who is creating wealth and providing jobs for millions is the descendant of a person who earned his wealth by loot? Should his right to property be respected? In all my readings I haven't found a libertarian thinker deals with this aspect morally other than Murray Rothbard. Ayn Rand is said to have provided a moral basis to Capitalism. But she doesn't deal with a crucial aspect –The initial allocation of property rights. Capitalism is a politico-economic system based on private property rights and this sort of evasion is hard to digest.
The question I was asked is quite valid. Take the case of Dalits. Most of them are poor. In the past property was acquired through wrong means and it can't be denied that it has played a role in the poverty they suffer from. The same could be said of blacks in the United States. Should anything be done about it? I am not a fan of Arundhati Roy and was a strong critic of her views, but I shall quote a few interesting lines from Roy's An Ordinary Person's Guide To Empire "Even if it were true that there is a Hindu temple under every mosque in India, what was under the temple? Most likely an Adivasi Shrine. How deep shall we dig?" This is the reason I am not at all sympathetic towards Anti-Reservation activists.
I am of the strong opinion that Capitalism is the only moral and practical politico-economic system. There is nothing wrong with Capitalism as such. Capitalism is perfectly moral. It is only that some people suffer from the inequities of a wrong past system, which had nothing to do with Capitalism. Capitalism is incompatible with feudalism or slavery. The fact that in the past property was acquired through wrong means in no way means that people shouldn't be allowed to keep the property they earned through right means. Two wrongs doesn't make right. The fact that some of the wealthy inherited looted wealth doesn't mean that all the wealthy should be taxed out of existence. It is not at all evident that all the wealthy got their wealth through wrong means. Past slavery and feudalism doesn't make a valid case for Statism or Socialism. It is also not at all evident that confiscating all property and distributing among all would lead to a more prosperous society. It can only lead to poverty and chaos.
Let me quote some libertarian theorists in this issue. Rothbard writes in "Egalitarianism-As A Revolt Against Nature" that "It is not enough to call simply for defense of the "rights of private property"; there must be an adequate theory of justice in property rights, else any property that some State once decreed to be private" must now be defended by Libertarians, no matter how unjust the procedure or how mischievous its consequences."
To quote Rothbard again, in the "Ethics of Liberty": "Suppose, for example, that Henry Jones I stole a piece of land from its legitimate owner, James Smith. What is the current status of the title of current possessor Henry Jones X? Or of the man who might be the current possessor by purchasing the land from Henry Jones X? If Smith and his descendants are lost to antiquity, then title to the land properly and legitimately belongs to the current Jones (or the man who has purchased it from him), in direct application of our theory of property titles." "Suppose that centuries ago, Smith was tilling the soil and therefore legitimately owning the land; and then that Jones came along and settled down near Smith, claiming by use of coercion the title to Smith's land, and extracting payment or "rent" from Smith for the privilege of continuing to till the soil. Suppose that now, centuries later, Smith's descendants (or, for that matter, other unrelated families) are now tilling the soil, while Jones's descendants, or those who purchased their claims, still continue to exact tribute from the modern tillers. Where is the true property right in such a case? It should be clear that here, just as in the case of slavery, we have a case of continuing aggression against the true owners-the true possessors–of the land, the tillers, or peasants,by the illegitimate owner, the man whose original and continuing claim to the land and its fruits has come from coercion and violence. Just as the original Jones was a continuing aggressor against the original Smith, so the modern peasants are being aggressed against by the modern holder of the Jones-derived land title. In this case of what we might call "feudalism" or "land monopoly," the feudal or monopolist landlords have no legitimate claim to the property. The current "tenants," or peasants, should be the absolute owners of their property, and, as in the case of slavery, the land titles should be transferred to the peasants, without compensation to the monopoly landlord."
Ludwig Von Mises' ideas are entirely opposite in this regard. He writes in "Economic Freedom And Interventionism :"Under the conditions of the capitalistic market society this program of land reform no longer makes any sense. In the market economy the consumers daily decide anew who should own the material factors of production and how much anybody should own. By their buying or abstention from buying the consumers allot control of the material factors of production to those who know how to use them in the best and cheapest way for the satisfaction of the most urgent wants of the consumers. Ownership of land means in the market economy the sovereignty of the consumers. The owners are mandataries of the consumers as it were, bound to employ their property as if it were entrusted to them by the people. When they fail in this regard, they suffer losses. Then they are forced to improve their management or, finally, they go bankrupt. Others who know better how to serve the consumers replace them."
I would have to state that I am totally in agreement with the views of Rothbard in this issue. Property appropriated wrongfully should be given back to the victims of his descendants wherever they can be traced.

In what I think is one of the most fascinating pieces of work in the field of psychology, a team of family counselors found they could predict, with a very high degree of accuracy, the likelihood of a married couple getting a divorce just by reviewing a few seconds of video footage of the two of them talking to each other in a counseling session, even without hearing the actual words that were said.
It turns out the mind can't fully keep the body from sending out involuntary signals through micro tics, facial expressions, and changes to the voice inflection. We all work with people whose filter here is so broken that we don't need any training or slow-motion video to read the micro signs because, well, they aren't really micro, are they?
After studying hundreds of couples, the researchers were able to isolate the signs that pointed to 'contempt for the other,' the tell-tale sign that a split was imminent. With that and a little video, the trained therapists could accurately predict outcomes without ever talking to the couple.
So, it was interesting a month or so ago as I sit in on a panel discussion about bundled payments when I noticed a micro tic from the payer representative on the panel.
'She's getting a divorce,' I thought, but then realized I was correct in my observation, but sort of missed the application.
Actually, what she signaled, and then later confessed directly in response to a question, is that while they – the payers – and their employer clients really like bundled payments as part of the move to value-based care, the practical administration of these deals is pretty complex. And we were talking about total joint replacements, the bundle that most people think is the easiest to administer and clearly the one with which we have the most collective experience.
So it was not a surprise when CMS issued an 'interim final rule' (oh, I love government-speak) last week delaying by three months the expansion of its bundled payment program. A slight delay by a government bureaucracy is a slight tic in that world, but don't miss the signal of contempt.
HHS Secretary Price has made it clear that, like his boss, he is generally averse to overly aggressive government regulators and has put his finger on this very program as one example. Voluntary programs to encourage innovation are one thing, but making mandatory things the law does not is frowned upon by the Trumpsters. Do you wonder if they get gold stars (in this case, real and gaudy gold stars) in the cabinet meetings every time they kill one of these deals?
Add to the philosophical position feedback from the market, both payers and providers, that even with all parties onboard and cooperating on a bundled payment contract, figure out how to do the day to day work takes time.
Don't be surprised if what comes out of this 90 day delay is a significant pull-back on the 'required' elements of this deal. The Secretary and mandatory bundled payments may be splitsville.BACK TO LIST

At the same time, many business organizations failed to survive stiff market competition and subsequently went out of the market.

Hence, today's managements give particular focus to corporate governance principles and long term business decisions.

Is it really our business as employers to make sure our employees are happy? Is there a one size fits all to happiness? And why should we care about happiness?
Surely if we just paid more money our staff will be happy and therefore more productive. Recent research has made a correlation between an employees happiness and their productivity and it has nothing to do with salary.
A recent study by economists at the University of Warwick found that happiness led to a 12% spike in productivity, while unhappy workers proved 10% less productive. As the research team put it, "We find that human happiness has large and positive causal effects on productivity. Positive emotions appear to invigorate human beings."
Professor Andrew Oswald, Dr Eugenio Proto and Dr Daniel Sgroi from the Department of Economics at the University of Warwick led the research.
The study included four different experiments with more than 700 participants.
During the experiments a number of the participants were either shown a comedy movie clip or treated to free chocolate, drinks and fruit. Others were questioned about recent family tragedies, such as bereavements, to assess whether lower levels of happiness were later associated with lower levels of productivity.
Professor Oswald said: "Companies like Google have invested more in employee support and employee satisfaction has risen as a result. For Google, it rose by 37%, they know what they are talking about. Under scientifically controlled conditions, making workers happier really pays off."
Dr Sgroi added: "The driving force seems to be that happier workers use the time they have more effectively, increasing the pace at which they can work without sacrificing quality."
"We have shown that happier subjects are more productive, the same pattern appears in four different experiments. This research will provide some guidance for management in all kinds of organizations, they should strive to make their workplaces emotionally healthy for their workforce."
At Google, we know that health, family and wellbeing are an important aspect of Googlers' lives. We have also noticed that employees who are happy … demonstrate increased motivation … [We] … work to ensure that Google is… an emotionally healthy place to work. Lara Harding, People Programs Manager, Google.
Supporting our people must begin at the most fundamental level – their physical and mental health and well- being. It is only from strong foundations that they can handle … complex issues.
Matthew Thomas, Manager – Employee Relations, Ernst and Young.
A report published by TINYpulse titled "What Leaders Need to Know About Remote Workers" whereby they surveyed 509 U.S employees who work remotely at all times to find out about their experiences in the workplace. And to put their responses in context, they compared them with benchmarks calculated from responses from over 200,000 employees across all work arrangements. There were some striking differences with the major one being that in comparison to all employees remote workers are happier at work.
On a scale of 1 to 10, remote workers report an average level of work happiness of 8.1, compared to 7.42 for other employees.
They may rarely see their colleagues and superiors, but remote workers also feel more valued by their employers. On that metric, they have an average score of 7.75, compared to 6.69 for other workers.
Of those same remote workers surveyed a staggering 91% assert that they get more work done outside the office – a.k.a when they are happiest.
Another interesting finding: Those who work more days a week are the happiest.
In fact, remote employees who report working seven days a week, but shorter hours, were the most satisfied of all, with an average satisfaction rating of 8.49. The next happiest were those who worked sporadic hours throughout the week, with a rating of 8.12. Those who worked a typical, 9-5 schedule, came in third, at 7.88, just slightly ahead of those who worked consistent but unconventional schedules, such as nights or Sunday-Thursday.
At the core of the causal effect of happiness and productivity is knowing your people. Hiring the right people for the right job and allowing them to work in an environment that makes them happy will in the end yield the highest productivity.

Penelope Cruz in Broken Embraces is broken and in braces but drop dead gorgeous
Penelope Cruz is phenomenal in Broken Embraces - the movie wanders every which way - as Pedro Amaldovar tends to do, but somehow through sheer will she sustains the entire film. It explores Amaldovar's usual obsession with violence, affairs, and inner torment, but is more a film about lost lovers. For most it is a film lovers film about loving film the way Pedro does. Secondly it is about unrequited love or passionate love that is somehow not entirely passionate. Penelope, however, cannot help being passionate and ends up carrying the scattered film through highs and lows -through 5 affairs and 5 film genres. Amaldovar is in a way making a retrospective of his work - an all in one if you like. Its all in there. He even makes Penelope into Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. Perhaps he tries to do a bit too much and that causes the film to comes off a bit thin - but Penelope props up every scene with her stunning beauty and exuberant energy. She is so alive that even Amaldovars dark humor and drama have the lightness of a Spanish soap opera. The film is shot almost poetically as each image is a frame with in a frame. Each bcackdrop feels as if it were styled by a mid century modern designer who has had a hand in each frame composing the back drops with bold patterns and daring colors. Subtitles don't distract as the film is so remarkably picturesque - sublime ocean views, chic interiors, and of course, the lovely Penelope. - Ecomanta
